Follow Taotie to eat meat [Traveling]
Chapter 131
Because it is located in the north, the autumn of Gouwu Mountain always passes in a short time.The north wind blew hard at night, and when I woke up in the morning, half of the red leaves that dyed the mountains and forests had fallen, and the branches suddenly fell.Frost hung on the grass and trees, and the accumulated water on the ground turned into ice, which did not melt until noon.Two days later, it suddenly started to rain again, and then it turned into freezing rain, falling in the forest with a rustling sound.
Xiao Yan's hometown called Dongyu Xuezi, and when Xuezi came, Xue also followed.Sure enough, before long, the rustling sound gradually subsided, and the snow fluttered down like catkins, turning the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.
Xiao Yan poked his head from the entrance of the cave, and a gust of wind came towards him with snow in between. He immediately shrank his neck, waved his claws, and a gust of wind appeared beside him out of thin air, blocking the wind and snow outside.He was still not quite satisfied, and his nine big furry tails rolled forward, covering his whole body tightly: "Winter is coming, so fast... hiss, it's so cold."
That's right, the temperature is getting lower and lower every day. In order to keep out the cold, Xiao Yan turned into the appearance of a nine-tailed fox. Not to mention the fur all over his body, he even shrinks his head and wraps his body into a ball with his big tail from time to time. There is no such thing as a nine-tailed fox. style.
"It's already a little later than last year." Taotie came out from inside, glanced out indifferently, and took Fat Ball Fox back.He still maintains a human shape, his body is decorated with a piece of animal skin, his arms and thighs are exposed, but he is much calmer than Xiao Yan who is tightly wrapped.
He was born with a fire attribute, and his body was always burning like a stove, which was so hot that Xiao Yan was extremely envious.
In fact, with Xiao Yan's current skill of nine tails, the most basic thing is not to be invaded by cold and heat, and it's not that he really feels that he is too cold to die.It’s just that Nine-Tailed Fox’s base camp is in the south, and this body has never experienced any severe cold. Xiao Yan came from a world with air conditioning and heating. The winter in this world is much harsher than before. do not adapt.
"I just saw a small animal lick the ice, and its tongue was frozen!" Xiao Yan said to Taotie with lingering fear, quite unbelievable, "It's still a while before the coldest time."
"Newborn cubs who have never experienced winter, right? After a few times of freezing, they will have experience. There are many springs in Beishan that will not freeze in winter, which is enough for them to drink. Next time, they will not be foolish to lick the ice. Already." Taotie was not surprised.
Xiao Yan twitched his limbs, feeling the bitterness of the long and severe winter.
Taotie's residence is not too cold, but he enjoys it quite a bit. There are hot springs in the cave, and the entrance of the cave is covered, so the wind cannot enter the sleeping and daily activities area. It's just that the earth is cold, and the whole cave seems tall and tall for no reason. When empty, I always feel that air-conditioning is pushing in from all directions.Xiao Yan tossed out a lot of charcoal a while ago, several stoves were burning together, and there were still gurgling water and several kinds of soup on it, so he could have a warm sip at any time, which was considered comfortable.
Only one thing is not satisfactory.The people here are extremely frost-resistant. After traveling to many places, they couldn't buy warm enough clothes. They tried to make custom-made clothes, and the clothes they made were either too thick to walk on or not warm enough.Xiao Yan misses the old down jacket quite a lot, but the textile technology here has not kept up with it, and the feathers will leak when the down is added, and the white hair will appear all over the body when you move it, which is so itchy that your heart trembles, and the picture is simply not too beautiful.
So, Xiao Yan had no choice but to take out his body to resist the harsh winter, and he would never return to his human body if he had no choice.
He prepared Mao Dong mentally for himself, but within a few days, Tao Tie quit.
After the Xishan incident, the two became famous, and everyone suddenly discovered that Taotie is not so scary or unapproachable. In addition, Xiao Yan's good craftsmanship is really unforgettable, and there are always light bulbs to disturb their two-person world on weekdays.It’s finally winter, everyone shrank their heads and was too lazy to go out. They thought they could live the world of two people to their heart’s content. By the way, the sauce and stuffing can’t be described enough. As a result, the daughter-in-law didn’t want to change into a human form. She could see, touch, and eat. Simply not too painful.
More importantly, Taotie feels a little distressed every time he sees Xiao Yan's trembling and pitiful look when he transforms back into a human form.So I hurriedly picked up a few things and rolled them up, and quickly made a decision: "Let's go, let's go to the south."
"... Huh?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, feeling a little sudden.
Taotie scratched his head and looked at the sky: "I'm tired of looking at the vast expanse of whiteness, and I suddenly want to see green."
Xiao Yan tilted his head: "That's fine, but there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? Clean up first, you haven't brought your things with you yet."
The rolls just now belonged to Xiao Yan.
"If you have spirit stones, you can use new ones wherever you go." Taotie said that there was no need for that, and suddenly turned into a prototype, with huge wings spread out, claws hooked, put Xiao Yan on his back, and threw a thick Clothes, "Wrap up tight, we'll go right away!"
He flew fast and steady, and in a short while, Mount Gouwu became smaller and smaller behind him, making it hard to see clearly.Xiao Yan lay on Taotie's back in the appearance of a nine-tailed fox cub, wrapped in thick clothes as a quilt, and opened an invisible air mask for the two to cover the wind and snow. Looking at Taotie who was hurrying on the road, he also understood his He didn't express his thoughtfulness a bit, and shook his ears a little embarrassedly.
This flight lasted several days, from Mount Gouwu, where the snow is as big as a mat and horses can run on the ice, to the southern part of Zhongshan, where the snow is sparse and the ice is only a thin layer, and after passing several high mountains, the two of them only felt the temperature. Gradually rising, the bottom is lush with flowing water, and there is no sign of winter.Wearing a thin cotton padded jacket, Xiao Yan stretched his waist in the sun, and finally felt alive.
Taotie is also very satisfied, although he is not afraid of the cold, but the fire attribute monsters are always happy when the temperature is higher.
Only then did they land on the ground, walk around and play, and lived a good life together for a while.Xiao Yan has a good temper and is grateful for Taotie's thoughtfulness. He has been very cooperative for a while.When he didn't pay attention, he got carried away too much, and pestered people too much, and finally annoyed Xiao Yan one night, and was kicked out of bed sadly.
The next day, Xiao Yanshi calmly packed his luggage, expressing that he had stayed in one place for a long time, and he wanted to continue heading south.
Taotie had a bitter look on his face, knowing that on the way, his partner would not allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Hearing that you can reach Danxue Mountain, Xiaotu's hometown, by going further south, Xiao Yan thought about it.The two of them are also highly skilled and bold. They crossed mountains and crossed bridges when encountering water. When there was no way to go, they flew at low altitude for a while. Strange creatures with long eyes bumped into each other, and those who didn't offend each other were fine, and those who dared to make up their minds basically entered the stomachs of the two of them—as long as the taste wasn't too bad.
One day, the two of them passed by a bare mountain with no vegetation growing. Xiao Yan saw the towering rocks, which looked hideous. It was very different from the generally beautiful mountains in the south, so he took a second look and suddenly heard During this period, there were a few faint cries of babies.
"Did you hear any sound?" He asked Taotie uncertainly.When the wind passes through complex terrain, it will also form various strange sounds.
However, as soon as the words fell, the crying of the baby in the mountain sounded again.This time it was much clearer, and there was a bit of sadness in the wow wow.
Xiao Yan's goosebumps were about to rise, and the horror movie scenes he had watched before jumped out one after another, and he shivered: "It's really evil, let's go."
Taotie, who was originally lacking in interest, moved his ears: "Don't go and see? What if it's really a human cub?"
"We have passed through so many mountains, and there is no human habitation nearby at all. How can there be any human children? And this cry is like a baby, but it is too loud, right? An ordinary adult can't cry out in the mountains. With this volume, the imitation is really unprofessional... If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, curiosity kills the cat, let's go!" Xiao Yan is determined not to be the cannon fodder for curiosity in horror movies.
It's a pity that he is not alone, and beside him is a big beast that is extremely energetic and hasn't vented for several days.
Taotie said, how could he refuse the food delivery man?It is too much of a waste of other people's "sincerity".Just go in and have a look.Although Xiao Yan thought the voice was weird and made him panic when he heard it, but with the combination of himself and Taotie, there was really no need to be timid.Since Taotie is interested in seeing weird creatures, it's good to open his eyes.
The mountain was very deep, and the two of them followed the sound for a while, and the crying stopped suddenly.Not only that, with their outstanding hearing ability, they found that there were almost no sounds of living beings nearby, and it was so quiet that it was unusual.There was a cliff ahead, Xiao Yan looked around, but found nothing.
The wind hummed under the cliff, and suddenly, an extremely weak whining sound was mixed in, and it entered the ears of the two of them.
Xiao Yan and Taotie looked at each other, and at the same time turned their attention to the cliff.Breathing was extremely light, footsteps were almost silent, and the spiritual power in his body did not fluctuate at all, but his body "floated" to the front of the cliff.A long tail sticks out from behind Xiao Yan, reveals it slightly at the edge of the cliff, shakes it left and right, and then retracts it immediately.
Sure enough, the thing thought it was some small animal that was probing its brain, and was successfully "hung" out.A powerful coercion was released suddenly, and Xiao Yan only felt his eyes go dark. A long, sharp horn with a spiral rose abruptly from the bottom of the cliff, followed by a huge, hooked bird's beak He leaned out suddenly, and grabbed Xiao Yan's tail with lightning speed.
The black-brown beak reflects the cold light, the hunting posture is extremely fast, and the angle from bottom to top is too tricky, almost pointing at the throat of the prey, it is completely conceivable that no matter how big the animal is, it will encounter such a sudden attack In a surprise attack, a deadly blood hole will be opened in such a fragile place as the neck.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Taotie had already been mentally prepared, and those who could restrain all their voices under their noses would certainly not be too easy to deal with.The peck came quickly, and the cooperation between the two was even faster. Xiao Yan flicked his tail and retreated quickly, and Taotie spit out fire without warning.
"Wow——" The opponent's shot angle was tricky, so he had to bear the consequences of missing a hit. Most of the fire was blocked by the hard beak, but the small half actually burned the feathers, and it was even more terrible. It was the super-high heat wave steaming into the eyes, which made the giant bird almost go crazy with pain.
With a crash, a giant eagle with sharp horns flew into the air, rolled up and down like a collapse, and then swooped down suddenly, wishing to tear the culprit to pieces immediately to vent its anger.
After experiencing the two big birds formed by Gu and Qin's destructive aura, Tao Tie had not liked birds for a long time, and now that one bumped into his eyes, he would not be polite.Immediately, he changed himself and returned to his original form, intending to work with Xiao Yan, who also turned into a big nine-tailed fox, to quickly kill this guy.
With a low growl in his throat, Taotie lowered his front body slightly, his whole body was like a tight bow, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent at any time.And the small and fast wind around Xiao Yan gathered into a huge cocoon of air, his tail was not stretched tightly like Taotie, and only made a little regular shaking, but floated high with the wind, It is like a huge flag waving in the wind, but every time it seems to flutter freely and loosely, the wind is slightly adjusting accordingly.
The strange bird swooped down, and when Taotie and Xiao Yan were ready to rush up at any time, there were a few unsteady breaths from a distance, and some creature let out a fuzzy gasp.
It was the time for the two of them to concentrate, so naturally they would not miss it, and their ears moved in unison.In the blink of an eye, the giant bird accelerated suddenly, with two huge claws and a long barbed beak, like a steel monster, they all rushed towards Taotie.Before Taotie moved, the wind from Xiao Yan's body was torn away like a knife, and the nine tails moved together, nimbly whipping towards the most vulnerable part of the strange bird - the neck and wings.
This can also be counted as the experience gained in Xishan and Beishan, coupled with Taotie's guidance, it can be said that "one trick is fresh, and it can be eaten all over the world".The giant bird recognized its position by hearing the sound, and avoided the attack of the two tails sideways, and the wind blade had already hit its face.
At this time, someone yelled loudly from the place where the sound was heard just now: "Be careful——"
As long as it is a monster with spiritual power, no matter whether it can speak human language or not, it can basically communicate with each other, but this cry... Xiao Yan's heart moved slightly, and he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Sweeping from the corner of the eye, I saw three white shadows approaching rapidly, almost drawn into a blurred white line.But with his eyesight, he could still see clearly that the ones running towards the head were actually three nine-tailed foxes with different numbers of tails!
The first one is bigger than the last two, and its speed is much faster, with seven big tails trailing behind it.The other two were smaller and had shorter tails, and they were trying their best to catch up. One of them was staring at Xiao Yan's tail curiously and surprised, and almost bumped its head against the rock.
And here, at the moment when the wind blade was about to tear the giant bird into pieces, it opened its mouth, and suddenly, a voice that was so sharp that it could almost pierce the eardrum sounded: "Wow——"
The invisible sound wave spread instantly, and Xiao Yan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if a needle had been pierced fiercely.All the wind was blocked by this sound, as if an invisible hand stirred it violently, and the wind blades that formed immediately were messed up, and scattered cleanly on the spot.
A master fight, a face-to-face moment can change a lot of things.The big fox that rushed over was startled, and before it had time to think about it, it jumped up high, and with the precise control of the wind, it pounced on the back of Gu Diao, trying to help Xiao Yan and Taotie out of the siege.
In his busy schedule, he still didn't forget to yell at Xiao Yan: "Hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, Taotie moved first.At the moment when the giant bird was about to peck at his eyeballs, he tilted his head, missed the hard beak that could open mountains and crack rocks, and bit its throat with incomparable precision.The big bird called "Gu Diao" by the new foxes opened its mouth again, but it couldn't make the sharp sound just now, so it had to struggle violently. He fell down a bit in embarrassment.
When I looked again, I saw Taotie shaking his head, the giant bird was thrown far away, collapsing countless rocks, Xiao Yan's fierce wind blade and Taotie's flames came out together, almost ending this extremely thrilling event almost lightly. fighting.
At this moment, the other two white foxes who had just come to the front stopped stunned, and one of them stammered to the other with slightly rounded ears: "I, am I right? This is really ours. The Gu Eagle who didn't dare to attack after three days and three nights? Just died like this? Could it be another strange bird that looks like a Gu Eagle?"
"Don't be silly, it's not a Gu carving. We were almost knocked down by some sound just now?" The other retorted with a sharp mouth, but it also seemed a little lost, "Round ear, look... this is indeed true. Is it a nine-tailed fox? But, but, a nine-tailed nine-tailed fox... How is this possible? No, why do I still think he looks familiar... No, no, no, I must be thinking too much..."
The big fox who arrived first just now didn't speak, and looked at the two powerful monsters that suddenly appeared in Luwu Mountain rather solemnly.In particular, one of them is a nine-tailed fox that should only be found in Qingqiu Mountain, and it even has nine tails.
They looked at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan and the two of them naturally looked at them too.The Nine-Tailed Fox race has very distinct characteristics, but Xiao Yan is not an original, so he is not sure whether to say hello or not.
Just when both sides were a little hesitant, the round-eared fox was the first to think of it at the prompt of his companion, and shouted: "Stupid hair!"
Swish—all eyes were on him.
Under the attention of many parties, the hair all over the round ears couldn't help but explode, but it was more exciting: "Patriarch Qingfeng, it's dumb, it's dumb! Absolutely right! We were taken away by the gu eagle back then, we thought it was gone. You dumbass!"
As soon as he yelled, the sharp-billed fox next to him also remembered: "That's right, that's right, it's really stupid!"
The scrutiny and vigilance in the big fox's eyes became unbelievable, and Xiao Yan and Taotie, who were still a little tense, also got stuck.Taotie couldn't help flicking his tail, tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Yan who was stunned, and suppressed a smile to talk to Xiao Yan in the sea of consciousness: "...Stupid hair?"
Xiao Yan was pulled back by the god's startled thoughts, and glared at him angrily: "You're the dumbass! Your whole family... no, you're the only dumbass in the whole family!"
But the other three couldn't hear his protest, the big fox called "Patriarch Qingfeng" quickly turned from surprise to surprise, as if to let Xiao Yan and Taotie relax their vigilance, he turned around and turned into a less capable The threatening figure tried to take two steps towards them: "Stupid? Is it really you? Do you still recognize me?"
Xiao Yan, who was arguing with Taotie in the sea of consciousness, glanced at him sullenly, feeling a little worried: this title can be teased by Taotie for a long time.
Joking aside, the two of them didn't relax much—after all, Xiao Yan wasn't the original, and this time he met the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, I don't know if there would be any complications.Politely returning to human form, Xiao Yan didn't show much intimacy, and used the all-purpose sloppy excuse of time-travelers—amnesia.
He is slightly conflicted.Out of emotion and reason, I took over the body of this fox who seemed to be called Dumao after he was injured and died. Now that I meet acquaintances, they may be relatives, so I should do my best to help Daimao.But the reality is that if the other party finds out that something is wrong, it is likely to cause a bigger conflict.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his articulate explanation that he had been seriously injured and lost his memory after waking up, the three foxes were even more surprised than him: "Damn, you can actually talk? No, you can actually understand express yourself?"
"..." Xiao Yan's belly draft was disrupted again, and he was a little helpless. What was this "dumb hair" like...
But you still have to stand firm: "...my name is Xiao Yan now."
"Hey, hey hey, it's all the same." Zai Qingfeng carefully asked to check some of his relatively hidden features - such as a shallow scar on the palm of his hand when he was still a fox that could not transform, and the scar behind his ear. After a small area with a slightly darker color—the round ears immediately became lively, "Ah, you are really still alive? That's great, that's great, we all thought you had entered the belly of a Gu carving!"
The calm Qingfeng also showed a little smile: "Welcome back!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was still very friendly to his fellow clansmen, and next, Xiao Yan heard round ears croaking about a lot of "stupid hair".
It turned out that the owner of this body was born with some defects in intelligence, and his parents encountered some accidents and passed away early. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in Qingqiu Mountain. Hey big.He was fed a little too much, grew faster than the little foxes of the same age, and robbed them of food from time to time, but he still didn't understand the reason, and all the little foxes were bullied to tears, so they all vented their anger to him. He gave him a name - Dumao.But Daimao eats a lot and grows fast, but his tail has not grown out for a long time. When the foxes of the same age are rolling around with their itchy tail roots, he still drags his tail to grab food everywhere, and even runs to every corner. Every family steals food.
It's not that the foxes are stingy, but that he eats too much, and everyone is afraid that he will burst his belly.
But this small stumbling block in the growth process became nothing worth mentioning after Dai Mao was accidentally taken away by the Gu Eagle.
When the seal of Zhongshan Mountain was broken, visions appeared in the world, and even the nine-tailed foxes in Qingqiu Mountain went out to check in panic.It was at this time that Gu Diao came in. The Nine-Tailed Fox clan fought in the chaos, and when they left protecting the cubs, no one expected that Dai Mao would run away boldly—he was in his mind from birth to death. It was all chaotic, seeing the unusually ferocious Gu sculpture, probably just thought it was a bird that could be used as food, it was so big, enough for him to eat many meals.
Yuan Er said that that day he saw with his own eyes that Dai Mao was grabbed away by the sharp claws of the gu carving, and the nine-tailed foxes chased them for a long time but they were still thrown away. It flowed all the way in the direction of the gu eagle's flight.Since then, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan launched a years-long revenge campaign against the Gu Eagles.
The Nine-Tailed Fox is a very protective family. If no one offends me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will pay a hundred times more.
Probably because he felt that it was cruel to repeat this to the person involved, patriarch Qingfeng stopped the round-eared chatter, stepped forward a few steps, and tried to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder: "It's all over, just come back."
Xiao Yan didn't dodge, and smiled at him, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
I don't know what kind of fate, let a one-tailed nine-tailed fox who was born almost unconscious, except for instinctive eating and drinking, and hardly even communicated, after being taken away by the gu eagle, he bumped into the fox who was working hard. Wu Peng, who tried to subdue Gu Yuqin and snatch Zhong Shanyu from Wu Peng, Wu Dai, probably died or fled in the chaos. He fell to the ground dying, and a crystal beautiful stone fell from the sky, Maybe it was too good-looking, maybe he was hungry, so he swallowed it in one gulp.
The last bit of vitality couldn't support such a huge energy, so Daimao ended his short life like this, and then Xiao Yan came to this world by accident, survived with difficulty dragging his tattered body, and met Taotie , was pushed into the vortex step by step, and finally solved all this.
Tracing back to the source, the people who ended the great chaos in Xishan should actually thank this nine-tailed fox who seemed to be insignificant when he was alive, and who seemed to be insignificant in death.A small butterfly flapped its wings, and finally, by various coincidences, a hurricane was formed.
Although Xiao Yan said that he didn't remember the past and introduced his current partner to them, Qingfeng Sanhu warmly invited them to visit Qingqiu Mountain and say hello to other foxes.This request was reasonable and Xiao Yan agreed after asking for Taotie's opinion.
After finishing all the introductions and pleasantries, and confirming that Xiao Yan is "my own fox", Qingfeng relaxed a lot. Seeing that Xiao Yan and Taotie were ready to go with him, he didn't even look at him and was beaten by them with a wind blade. The Gu sculpture, which was horrified by the flames, suddenly showed a completely different smile from before: "Hey, dumbass... Is this Gu sculpture useful to you?"
"My name is Xiao Yan now," Xiao Yan corrected again weakly, then shook his head, "We don't need it, Patriarch Qingfeng, do you use it useful?"
Taotie asked a question that he cared about: "Is this strange bird edible?" Although it looked and smelled very bad.
"Ah, it doesn't taste good. The meat and blood have a strong stench. We tried many methods but couldn't get rid of it, but there is another purpose. If you don't mind, can I handle it?" Qingfeng's tone jumped a little bit with anticipation.
Xiao Yan nodded naturally: "Of course there is no problem."
Qingfeng seemed quite happy, and commanded Yuaner and another fox, Yueya, to move the Gu sculpture away: "Hey, before we go back to Qingqiu Mountain, let's go around to a place first."
Xiao Yan and Taotie followed him in a daze, from the deep mountain to the edge of the mountains, and then heard Qingfeng raise his head and call out: "Wow——"
The voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox is quite special. It is a bit like howling a wolf, but its voice is much softer. Sometimes it calls out continuously, and it is a bit like a baby whining—of course, the sound is much louder.Before long, Xiao Yan and Taotie's ears moved, and they looked at each other in surprise—there was a human voice in the distance!
The three foxes of Qingfeng obviously heard it too. Unlike most high-level monsters who hate humans, they seemed quite happy. After the round ears and the crescent moon even whined twice, they sped up their speed again.The second monk Xiao Yanzhang couldn't figure it out: "Patriarch, this is it?"
"That's right, there's a place where humans gather nearby. Every time we kill a gu eagle or other ferocious beasts, they'll come after calling twice. As long as you give them the corpse, you can get a lot of delicious food in exchange!" Team leader Qingfeng said happily, "Our cooperation is quite pleasant. In fact, I think the meat of the gu carvings is unpalatable. I don't know why they are so fascinated. Sometimes the gu carvings fly here but we don't find it in time. And they'd be so excited to yell and yell to lure us in - it's really hard to let go of any of the goodness."
"Uh..." Xiao Yan felt that this explanation was a bit weird.
At this time, they turned out of the dense forest, and their eyes suddenly opened up.Xiao Yan and Taotie were taken aback, they didn't expect that besides these mountains, there is actually a country with a large scale.From a distance, the population is quite dense, and the vehicles and horses are busy.
"Look over there—" Taotie pointed in a certain direction.
Xiao Yan followed his gestures and found a sculpture of a nine-tailed fox on a building in the center that was taller than the sides.At this time, the sculptors were quite primitive and rough with post-modern minimalism in them, which actually formed a special vividness.Scanning around carefully again, Xiao Yan saw that there are large and small decorations of nine-tailed foxes everywhere in the country—from statuettes to patterns on cloth, and even decorative patterns on clay pots.
This kind of relationship between monsters and humans is almost unheard of!
The three of Qingfeng obviously saw the strangeness, and the round ears shook their tails happily: "They are coming!"
The group looked down condescendingly, and saw a group of chariots and horses approaching quickly at the foot of the mountain. The ceremonial guards were quite grand, and the banner with a nine-tailed fox painted on it was erected high. At the foot, everyone got out of the carriage and bowed again and again to the mountain here, and then lifted the clean pigs, cattle and sheep and other things held by delicate vessels and put them on a spacious table.
A few old men who looked respectable at first glance started dancing around the stage, chanting words while dancing, and shouting loudly from time to time, and everyone below kowtowed to the nine-tailed foxes on the mountain.
Crescent Moon tilted her head and shook her big tail, and the people below cheered like a festival.
Yuan Er enthusiastically introduced to Xiao Yan: "This is the ceremony before they exchange prey. These humans are good at everything, but exchanging things is too boring, and we have to wait for a long time every time... Actually, I suggested to the patriarch that in the future The clan fox also dances when changing things, so as not to be foolishly waiting on the top, which is strange-but the clan leader didn't agree."
"Nine-tailed foxes are an elegant race, how can they dance like this, no!" Qingfeng retorted again with round ears, and raised his chin proudly, "Nine-tailed foxes only dance for their partners to watch."
Xiao Yan and Taotie blinked, looked at the bottom, and then at the Nine-Tailed Fox standing high on the hill, they both opened their mouths wide.Things in the world are really nothing but a coincidence.
What kind of food exchange scene is this? It's clearly a place to worship the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy, okay?The specifications are even more grand than when the old man Zhi brought everyone together to worship the mountain god!
Xiao Yan could almost imagine how this custom came into being.This side is not too far away from Luwu Mountain, where Gu carvings are rampant, and they often suffer if they think about it.However, the Nine-Tailed Fox has never seen eye to eye with the Gu Eagle, and from time to time there will be a little friction. After a long time, the people here will give the aura of "dispelling demons and demons" and become an existence similar to a protector.Especially after Daimao's accident, the nine-tailed foxes would look for bad luck from time to time on the lonely Gu carvings, and they were worshiped by the people here.
As for the nine-tailed foxes, they probably saw that the unpalatable Gu carvings could be exchanged for delicious cattle and sheep, and they were also happy to "do business", so they talked with the ducks for an unknown amount of time, but they continued smoothly.
Xiao Yan can't help but laugh. The people here have a special physique, their mental strength is extremely weak, and their language is different from those he has come into contact with. I don't know what they were shouting excitedly when they sacrificed, but the old man once gave them popular science about some things commonly used in the south. The characters are still mainly pictographic at the moment, and the appearance of the mountains and rivers is slightly different, but they can even be read by guessing. I saw a long paragraph of praise written on the big rock next to the altar. It is said that the people of the country used to live in dire straits, and since the nine-tailed fox fairies of Qingqiu Mountain have taken pity on them, they have blessed the Qingqiu country with a hundred years of well-being and so on.
Cough... what a beautiful misunderstanding.
Xiao Yan was wondering whether the title of Qingqiu Kingdom existed long ago, or because of the white fox fairies who lived in Qingqiu Mountain, and Yuan Er cheered: "Wow, it's finally over!"
Crescent Moon and Round Ears carried the unlucky Gu Eagle and jumped down.The cliff is extremely high, but the nine-tailed fox is naturally able to resist the wind. Its silvery white hair and long tail fluttered in the air, causing the people of Qingqiu to cheer loudly.Qingfeng shook his tail and invited Xiao Yan: "Do you want to go down and have a look together?"
Xiao Yan looked at the fanatical fans below, and silently took a step back, forget it, keep a low profile...
Aomine didn't force himself, jumped lightly, and jumped directly onto the altar. Except for his own hair, he didn't bring up a speck of dust, which aroused countless cheers, like an idol falling from the sky at a fan meeting.Sanhu reservedly threw the Gu sculpture under the altar, nodded to the extremely excited crowd, then turned around, picked up the sacrifice with bright eyes, and ran back.
The people behind started to dance around the gu carving again, it was as lively as a festival.
"It's a human being with a special taste. I would be very happy to get a Gu Eagle." Qingfeng sighed leisurely, moving his ears happily, obviously feeling that the Nine-Tailed Fox had taken advantage of it.
Round Ears and Crescent Moon were still a little jumpy, and their feet began to float: "Ah, patriarch, this roast pig smells so good, I really want to eat it!"
"Hold on, go back and share it with everyone!" Qingfeng was very principled, paused, and then turned to Xiao Yan, "Stay...cough, kid, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something with your partner first?"
Obviously, Xiao Yan, who survived all kinds of hardships, has some privileges.
Xiao Yan and Taotie shook their heads while holding back their laughter.
Speaking of which, the people of Qingqiu Kingdom have extremely weak mental strength, almost no divine blood ability, except for their strong physique, it should have been extremely difficult to live in this world full of ferocious beasts, but by accident, they and The Nine-Tailed Fox had a beautiful misunderstanding. The Nine-Tailed Fox's frequent haunts made many beasts afraid to approach it, and even the terrifying Gu sculptures were cleaned up from time to time, which gave the Chinese people a great room for development.Now they are many and strong, and they live and work in peace and contentment in the fertile Qingqiu country. Speaking of which, they are really thanks to the blessing of the nine-tailed fox.
Qingqiu Mountain is also lush in winter, with giant verdant trees covering the sky and gurgling water, without the slightest coldness in the north.Qingfeng and his party were warmly welcomed by the foxes on the road in twos and threes. The "delicious food exchanged" and "the dumb hair returned with nine tails" attracted many onlookers. Yan talked to him, and after being shocked by the bizarre change of his "amnesia, enlightenment", he tried to touch his nine tails.
Taotie guarded Xiao Yan's side, looking at the curious foxes, he always felt that Xiao Yan's tail hair would be bald by them.
Fortunately, Qingfeng is still reliable, let all the foxes stop making trouble, and gather at night, firstly to celebrate that Daimao is fine, secondly, just after exchanging food, the clan will share it together.
This time, the fox talked a lot, and Xiao Yan couldn't correct it anymore, "It's Xiao Yan, not a dumbass". Read it all over.
During the celebration at night, Xiao Yan and Tao Tie unexpectedly discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is quite foodie.A few pigs, cattle and sheep from Qingqiu country have been processed briefly, and now they are roasted on the fire. In order to prevent the meat from getting too old, a layer of jam will be brushed on top from time to time.In addition, there are some scattered meat, most of which are bird meat, and those that can be transformed into human shapes, and they are more particular about handling different parts than many human beings.
Nine-tailed Fox
Xiao Yan's hometown called Dongyu Xuezi, and when Xuezi came, Xue also followed.Sure enough, before long, the rustling sound gradually subsided, and the snow fluttered down like catkins, turning the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.
Xiao Yan poked his head from the entrance of the cave, and a gust of wind came towards him with snow in between. He immediately shrank his neck, waved his claws, and a gust of wind appeared beside him out of thin air, blocking the wind and snow outside.He was still not quite satisfied, and his nine big furry tails rolled forward, covering his whole body tightly: "Winter is coming, so fast... hiss, it's so cold."
That's right, the temperature is getting lower and lower every day. In order to keep out the cold, Xiao Yan turned into the appearance of a nine-tailed fox. Not to mention the fur all over his body, he even shrinks his head and wraps his body into a ball with his big tail from time to time. There is no such thing as a nine-tailed fox. style.
"It's already a little later than last year." Taotie came out from inside, glanced out indifferently, and took Fat Ball Fox back.He still maintains a human shape, his body is decorated with a piece of animal skin, his arms and thighs are exposed, but he is much calmer than Xiao Yan who is tightly wrapped.
He was born with a fire attribute, and his body was always burning like a stove, which was so hot that Xiao Yan was extremely envious.
In fact, with Xiao Yan's current skill of nine tails, the most basic thing is not to be invaded by cold and heat, and it's not that he really feels that he is too cold to die.It’s just that Nine-Tailed Fox’s base camp is in the south, and this body has never experienced any severe cold. Xiao Yan came from a world with air conditioning and heating. The winter in this world is much harsher than before. do not adapt.
"I just saw a small animal lick the ice, and its tongue was frozen!" Xiao Yan said to Taotie with lingering fear, quite unbelievable, "It's still a while before the coldest time."
"Newborn cubs who have never experienced winter, right? After a few times of freezing, they will have experience. There are many springs in Beishan that will not freeze in winter, which is enough for them to drink. Next time, they will not be foolish to lick the ice. Already." Taotie was not surprised.
Xiao Yan twitched his limbs, feeling the bitterness of the long and severe winter.
Taotie's residence is not too cold, but he enjoys it quite a bit. There are hot springs in the cave, and the entrance of the cave is covered, so the wind cannot enter the sleeping and daily activities area. It's just that the earth is cold, and the whole cave seems tall and tall for no reason. When empty, I always feel that air-conditioning is pushing in from all directions.Xiao Yan tossed out a lot of charcoal a while ago, several stoves were burning together, and there were still gurgling water and several kinds of soup on it, so he could have a warm sip at any time, which was considered comfortable.
Only one thing is not satisfactory.The people here are extremely frost-resistant. After traveling to many places, they couldn't buy warm enough clothes. They tried to make custom-made clothes, and the clothes they made were either too thick to walk on or not warm enough.Xiao Yan misses the old down jacket quite a lot, but the textile technology here has not kept up with it, and the feathers will leak when the down is added, and the white hair will appear all over the body when you move it, which is so itchy that your heart trembles, and the picture is simply not too beautiful.
So, Xiao Yan had no choice but to take out his body to resist the harsh winter, and he would never return to his human body if he had no choice.
He prepared Mao Dong mentally for himself, but within a few days, Tao Tie quit.
After the Xishan incident, the two became famous, and everyone suddenly discovered that Taotie is not so scary or unapproachable. In addition, Xiao Yan's good craftsmanship is really unforgettable, and there are always light bulbs to disturb their two-person world on weekdays.It’s finally winter, everyone shrank their heads and was too lazy to go out. They thought they could live the world of two people to their heart’s content. By the way, the sauce and stuffing can’t be described enough. As a result, the daughter-in-law didn’t want to change into a human form. She could see, touch, and eat. Simply not too painful.
More importantly, Taotie feels a little distressed every time he sees Xiao Yan's trembling and pitiful look when he transforms back into a human form.So I hurriedly picked up a few things and rolled them up, and quickly made a decision: "Let's go, let's go to the south."
"... Huh?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, feeling a little sudden.
Taotie scratched his head and looked at the sky: "I'm tired of looking at the vast expanse of whiteness, and I suddenly want to see green."
Xiao Yan tilted his head: "That's fine, but there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? Clean up first, you haven't brought your things with you yet."
The rolls just now belonged to Xiao Yan.
"If you have spirit stones, you can use new ones wherever you go." Taotie said that there was no need for that, and suddenly turned into a prototype, with huge wings spread out, claws hooked, put Xiao Yan on his back, and threw a thick Clothes, "Wrap up tight, we'll go right away!"
He flew fast and steady, and in a short while, Mount Gouwu became smaller and smaller behind him, making it hard to see clearly.Xiao Yan lay on Taotie's back in the appearance of a nine-tailed fox cub, wrapped in thick clothes as a quilt, and opened an invisible air mask for the two to cover the wind and snow. Looking at Taotie who was hurrying on the road, he also understood his He didn't express his thoughtfulness a bit, and shook his ears a little embarrassedly.
This flight lasted several days, from Mount Gouwu, where the snow is as big as a mat and horses can run on the ice, to the southern part of Zhongshan, where the snow is sparse and the ice is only a thin layer, and after passing several high mountains, the two of them only felt the temperature. Gradually rising, the bottom is lush with flowing water, and there is no sign of winter.Wearing a thin cotton padded jacket, Xiao Yan stretched his waist in the sun, and finally felt alive.
Taotie is also very satisfied, although he is not afraid of the cold, but the fire attribute monsters are always happy when the temperature is higher.
Only then did they land on the ground, walk around and play, and lived a good life together for a while.Xiao Yan has a good temper and is grateful for Taotie's thoughtfulness. He has been very cooperative for a while.When he didn't pay attention, he got carried away too much, and pestered people too much, and finally annoyed Xiao Yan one night, and was kicked out of bed sadly.
The next day, Xiao Yanshi calmly packed his luggage, expressing that he had stayed in one place for a long time, and he wanted to continue heading south.
Taotie had a bitter look on his face, knowing that on the way, his partner would not allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Hearing that you can reach Danxue Mountain, Xiaotu's hometown, by going further south, Xiao Yan thought about it.The two of them are also highly skilled and bold. They crossed mountains and crossed bridges when encountering water. When there was no way to go, they flew at low altitude for a while. Strange creatures with long eyes bumped into each other, and those who didn't offend each other were fine, and those who dared to make up their minds basically entered the stomachs of the two of them—as long as the taste wasn't too bad.
One day, the two of them passed by a bare mountain with no vegetation growing. Xiao Yan saw the towering rocks, which looked hideous. It was very different from the generally beautiful mountains in the south, so he took a second look and suddenly heard During this period, there were a few faint cries of babies.
"Did you hear any sound?" He asked Taotie uncertainly.When the wind passes through complex terrain, it will also form various strange sounds.
However, as soon as the words fell, the crying of the baby in the mountain sounded again.This time it was much clearer, and there was a bit of sadness in the wow wow.
Xiao Yan's goosebumps were about to rise, and the horror movie scenes he had watched before jumped out one after another, and he shivered: "It's really evil, let's go."
Taotie, who was originally lacking in interest, moved his ears: "Don't go and see? What if it's really a human cub?"
"We have passed through so many mountains, and there is no human habitation nearby at all. How can there be any human children? And this cry is like a baby, but it is too loud, right? An ordinary adult can't cry out in the mountains. With this volume, the imitation is really unprofessional... If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, curiosity kills the cat, let's go!" Xiao Yan is determined not to be the cannon fodder for curiosity in horror movies.
It's a pity that he is not alone, and beside him is a big beast that is extremely energetic and hasn't vented for several days.
Taotie said, how could he refuse the food delivery man?It is too much of a waste of other people's "sincerity".Just go in and have a look.Although Xiao Yan thought the voice was weird and made him panic when he heard it, but with the combination of himself and Taotie, there was really no need to be timid.Since Taotie is interested in seeing weird creatures, it's good to open his eyes.
The mountain was very deep, and the two of them followed the sound for a while, and the crying stopped suddenly.Not only that, with their outstanding hearing ability, they found that there were almost no sounds of living beings nearby, and it was so quiet that it was unusual.There was a cliff ahead, Xiao Yan looked around, but found nothing.
The wind hummed under the cliff, and suddenly, an extremely weak whining sound was mixed in, and it entered the ears of the two of them.
Xiao Yan and Taotie looked at each other, and at the same time turned their attention to the cliff.Breathing was extremely light, footsteps were almost silent, and the spiritual power in his body did not fluctuate at all, but his body "floated" to the front of the cliff.A long tail sticks out from behind Xiao Yan, reveals it slightly at the edge of the cliff, shakes it left and right, and then retracts it immediately.
Sure enough, the thing thought it was some small animal that was probing its brain, and was successfully "hung" out.A powerful coercion was released suddenly, and Xiao Yan only felt his eyes go dark. A long, sharp horn with a spiral rose abruptly from the bottom of the cliff, followed by a huge, hooked bird's beak He leaned out suddenly, and grabbed Xiao Yan's tail with lightning speed.
The black-brown beak reflects the cold light, the hunting posture is extremely fast, and the angle from bottom to top is too tricky, almost pointing at the throat of the prey, it is completely conceivable that no matter how big the animal is, it will encounter such a sudden attack In a surprise attack, a deadly blood hole will be opened in such a fragile place as the neck.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Taotie had already been mentally prepared, and those who could restrain all their voices under their noses would certainly not be too easy to deal with.The peck came quickly, and the cooperation between the two was even faster. Xiao Yan flicked his tail and retreated quickly, and Taotie spit out fire without warning.
"Wow——" The opponent's shot angle was tricky, so he had to bear the consequences of missing a hit. Most of the fire was blocked by the hard beak, but the small half actually burned the feathers, and it was even more terrible. It was the super-high heat wave steaming into the eyes, which made the giant bird almost go crazy with pain.
With a crash, a giant eagle with sharp horns flew into the air, rolled up and down like a collapse, and then swooped down suddenly, wishing to tear the culprit to pieces immediately to vent its anger.
After experiencing the two big birds formed by Gu and Qin's destructive aura, Tao Tie had not liked birds for a long time, and now that one bumped into his eyes, he would not be polite.Immediately, he changed himself and returned to his original form, intending to work with Xiao Yan, who also turned into a big nine-tailed fox, to quickly kill this guy.
With a low growl in his throat, Taotie lowered his front body slightly, his whole body was like a tight bow, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent at any time.And the small and fast wind around Xiao Yan gathered into a huge cocoon of air, his tail was not stretched tightly like Taotie, and only made a little regular shaking, but floated high with the wind, It is like a huge flag waving in the wind, but every time it seems to flutter freely and loosely, the wind is slightly adjusting accordingly.
The strange bird swooped down, and when Taotie and Xiao Yan were ready to rush up at any time, there were a few unsteady breaths from a distance, and some creature let out a fuzzy gasp.
It was the time for the two of them to concentrate, so naturally they would not miss it, and their ears moved in unison.In the blink of an eye, the giant bird accelerated suddenly, with two huge claws and a long barbed beak, like a steel monster, they all rushed towards Taotie.Before Taotie moved, the wind from Xiao Yan's body was torn away like a knife, and the nine tails moved together, nimbly whipping towards the most vulnerable part of the strange bird - the neck and wings.
This can also be counted as the experience gained in Xishan and Beishan, coupled with Taotie's guidance, it can be said that "one trick is fresh, and it can be eaten all over the world".The giant bird recognized its position by hearing the sound, and avoided the attack of the two tails sideways, and the wind blade had already hit its face.
At this time, someone yelled loudly from the place where the sound was heard just now: "Be careful——"
As long as it is a monster with spiritual power, no matter whether it can speak human language or not, it can basically communicate with each other, but this cry... Xiao Yan's heart moved slightly, and he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Sweeping from the corner of the eye, I saw three white shadows approaching rapidly, almost drawn into a blurred white line.But with his eyesight, he could still see clearly that the ones running towards the head were actually three nine-tailed foxes with different numbers of tails!
The first one is bigger than the last two, and its speed is much faster, with seven big tails trailing behind it.The other two were smaller and had shorter tails, and they were trying their best to catch up. One of them was staring at Xiao Yan's tail curiously and surprised, and almost bumped its head against the rock.
And here, at the moment when the wind blade was about to tear the giant bird into pieces, it opened its mouth, and suddenly, a voice that was so sharp that it could almost pierce the eardrum sounded: "Wow——"
The invisible sound wave spread instantly, and Xiao Yan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if a needle had been pierced fiercely.All the wind was blocked by this sound, as if an invisible hand stirred it violently, and the wind blades that formed immediately were messed up, and scattered cleanly on the spot.
A master fight, a face-to-face moment can change a lot of things.The big fox that rushed over was startled, and before it had time to think about it, it jumped up high, and with the precise control of the wind, it pounced on the back of Gu Diao, trying to help Xiao Yan and Taotie out of the siege.
In his busy schedule, he still didn't forget to yell at Xiao Yan: "Hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, Taotie moved first.At the moment when the giant bird was about to peck at his eyeballs, he tilted his head, missed the hard beak that could open mountains and crack rocks, and bit its throat with incomparable precision.The big bird called "Gu Diao" by the new foxes opened its mouth again, but it couldn't make the sharp sound just now, so it had to struggle violently. He fell down a bit in embarrassment.
When I looked again, I saw Taotie shaking his head, the giant bird was thrown far away, collapsing countless rocks, Xiao Yan's fierce wind blade and Taotie's flames came out together, almost ending this extremely thrilling event almost lightly. fighting.
At this moment, the other two white foxes who had just come to the front stopped stunned, and one of them stammered to the other with slightly rounded ears: "I, am I right? This is really ours. The Gu Eagle who didn't dare to attack after three days and three nights? Just died like this? Could it be another strange bird that looks like a Gu Eagle?"
"Don't be silly, it's not a Gu carving. We were almost knocked down by some sound just now?" The other retorted with a sharp mouth, but it also seemed a little lost, "Round ear, look... this is indeed true. Is it a nine-tailed fox? But, but, a nine-tailed nine-tailed fox... How is this possible? No, why do I still think he looks familiar... No, no, no, I must be thinking too much..."
The big fox who arrived first just now didn't speak, and looked at the two powerful monsters that suddenly appeared in Luwu Mountain rather solemnly.In particular, one of them is a nine-tailed fox that should only be found in Qingqiu Mountain, and it even has nine tails.
They looked at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan and the two of them naturally looked at them too.The Nine-Tailed Fox race has very distinct characteristics, but Xiao Yan is not an original, so he is not sure whether to say hello or not.
Just when both sides were a little hesitant, the round-eared fox was the first to think of it at the prompt of his companion, and shouted: "Stupid hair!"
Swish—all eyes were on him.
Under the attention of many parties, the hair all over the round ears couldn't help but explode, but it was more exciting: "Patriarch Qingfeng, it's dumb, it's dumb! Absolutely right! We were taken away by the gu eagle back then, we thought it was gone. You dumbass!"
As soon as he yelled, the sharp-billed fox next to him also remembered: "That's right, that's right, it's really stupid!"
The scrutiny and vigilance in the big fox's eyes became unbelievable, and Xiao Yan and Taotie, who were still a little tense, also got stuck.Taotie couldn't help flicking his tail, tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Yan who was stunned, and suppressed a smile to talk to Xiao Yan in the sea of consciousness: "...Stupid hair?"
Xiao Yan was pulled back by the god's startled thoughts, and glared at him angrily: "You're the dumbass! Your whole family... no, you're the only dumbass in the whole family!"
But the other three couldn't hear his protest, the big fox called "Patriarch Qingfeng" quickly turned from surprise to surprise, as if to let Xiao Yan and Taotie relax their vigilance, he turned around and turned into a less capable The threatening figure tried to take two steps towards them: "Stupid? Is it really you? Do you still recognize me?"
Xiao Yan, who was arguing with Taotie in the sea of consciousness, glanced at him sullenly, feeling a little worried: this title can be teased by Taotie for a long time.
Joking aside, the two of them didn't relax much—after all, Xiao Yan wasn't the original, and this time he met the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, I don't know if there would be any complications.Politely returning to human form, Xiao Yan didn't show much intimacy, and used the all-purpose sloppy excuse of time-travelers—amnesia.
He is slightly conflicted.Out of emotion and reason, I took over the body of this fox who seemed to be called Dumao after he was injured and died. Now that I meet acquaintances, they may be relatives, so I should do my best to help Daimao.But the reality is that if the other party finds out that something is wrong, it is likely to cause a bigger conflict.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his articulate explanation that he had been seriously injured and lost his memory after waking up, the three foxes were even more surprised than him: "Damn, you can actually talk? No, you can actually understand express yourself?"
"..." Xiao Yan's belly draft was disrupted again, and he was a little helpless. What was this "dumb hair" like...
But you still have to stand firm: "...my name is Xiao Yan now."
"Hey, hey hey, it's all the same." Zai Qingfeng carefully asked to check some of his relatively hidden features - such as a shallow scar on the palm of his hand when he was still a fox that could not transform, and the scar behind his ear. After a small area with a slightly darker color—the round ears immediately became lively, "Ah, you are really still alive? That's great, that's great, we all thought you had entered the belly of a Gu carving!"
The calm Qingfeng also showed a little smile: "Welcome back!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was still very friendly to his fellow clansmen, and next, Xiao Yan heard round ears croaking about a lot of "stupid hair".
It turned out that the owner of this body was born with some defects in intelligence, and his parents encountered some accidents and passed away early. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in Qingqiu Mountain. Hey big.He was fed a little too much, grew faster than the little foxes of the same age, and robbed them of food from time to time, but he still didn't understand the reason, and all the little foxes were bullied to tears, so they all vented their anger to him. He gave him a name - Dumao.But Daimao eats a lot and grows fast, but his tail has not grown out for a long time. When the foxes of the same age are rolling around with their itchy tail roots, he still drags his tail to grab food everywhere, and even runs to every corner. Every family steals food.
It's not that the foxes are stingy, but that he eats too much, and everyone is afraid that he will burst his belly.
But this small stumbling block in the growth process became nothing worth mentioning after Dai Mao was accidentally taken away by the Gu Eagle.
When the seal of Zhongshan Mountain was broken, visions appeared in the world, and even the nine-tailed foxes in Qingqiu Mountain went out to check in panic.It was at this time that Gu Diao came in. The Nine-Tailed Fox clan fought in the chaos, and when they left protecting the cubs, no one expected that Dai Mao would run away boldly—he was in his mind from birth to death. It was all chaotic, seeing the unusually ferocious Gu sculpture, probably just thought it was a bird that could be used as food, it was so big, enough for him to eat many meals.
Yuan Er said that that day he saw with his own eyes that Dai Mao was grabbed away by the sharp claws of the gu carving, and the nine-tailed foxes chased them for a long time but they were still thrown away. It flowed all the way in the direction of the gu eagle's flight.Since then, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan launched a years-long revenge campaign against the Gu Eagles.
The Nine-Tailed Fox is a very protective family. If no one offends me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will pay a hundred times more.
Probably because he felt that it was cruel to repeat this to the person involved, patriarch Qingfeng stopped the round-eared chatter, stepped forward a few steps, and tried to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder: "It's all over, just come back."
Xiao Yan didn't dodge, and smiled at him, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
I don't know what kind of fate, let a one-tailed nine-tailed fox who was born almost unconscious, except for instinctive eating and drinking, and hardly even communicated, after being taken away by the gu eagle, he bumped into the fox who was working hard. Wu Peng, who tried to subdue Gu Yuqin and snatch Zhong Shanyu from Wu Peng, Wu Dai, probably died or fled in the chaos. He fell to the ground dying, and a crystal beautiful stone fell from the sky, Maybe it was too good-looking, maybe he was hungry, so he swallowed it in one gulp.
The last bit of vitality couldn't support such a huge energy, so Daimao ended his short life like this, and then Xiao Yan came to this world by accident, survived with difficulty dragging his tattered body, and met Taotie , was pushed into the vortex step by step, and finally solved all this.
Tracing back to the source, the people who ended the great chaos in Xishan should actually thank this nine-tailed fox who seemed to be insignificant when he was alive, and who seemed to be insignificant in death.A small butterfly flapped its wings, and finally, by various coincidences, a hurricane was formed.
Although Xiao Yan said that he didn't remember the past and introduced his current partner to them, Qingfeng Sanhu warmly invited them to visit Qingqiu Mountain and say hello to other foxes.This request was reasonable and Xiao Yan agreed after asking for Taotie's opinion.
After finishing all the introductions and pleasantries, and confirming that Xiao Yan is "my own fox", Qingfeng relaxed a lot. Seeing that Xiao Yan and Taotie were ready to go with him, he didn't even look at him and was beaten by them with a wind blade. The Gu sculpture, which was horrified by the flames, suddenly showed a completely different smile from before: "Hey, dumbass... Is this Gu sculpture useful to you?"
"My name is Xiao Yan now," Xiao Yan corrected again weakly, then shook his head, "We don't need it, Patriarch Qingfeng, do you use it useful?"
Taotie asked a question that he cared about: "Is this strange bird edible?" Although it looked and smelled very bad.
"Ah, it doesn't taste good. The meat and blood have a strong stench. We tried many methods but couldn't get rid of it, but there is another purpose. If you don't mind, can I handle it?" Qingfeng's tone jumped a little bit with anticipation.
Xiao Yan nodded naturally: "Of course there is no problem."
Qingfeng seemed quite happy, and commanded Yuaner and another fox, Yueya, to move the Gu sculpture away: "Hey, before we go back to Qingqiu Mountain, let's go around to a place first."
Xiao Yan and Taotie followed him in a daze, from the deep mountain to the edge of the mountains, and then heard Qingfeng raise his head and call out: "Wow——"
The voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox is quite special. It is a bit like howling a wolf, but its voice is much softer. Sometimes it calls out continuously, and it is a bit like a baby whining—of course, the sound is much louder.Before long, Xiao Yan and Taotie's ears moved, and they looked at each other in surprise—there was a human voice in the distance!
The three foxes of Qingfeng obviously heard it too. Unlike most high-level monsters who hate humans, they seemed quite happy. After the round ears and the crescent moon even whined twice, they sped up their speed again.The second monk Xiao Yanzhang couldn't figure it out: "Patriarch, this is it?"
"That's right, there's a place where humans gather nearby. Every time we kill a gu eagle or other ferocious beasts, they'll come after calling twice. As long as you give them the corpse, you can get a lot of delicious food in exchange!" Team leader Qingfeng said happily, "Our cooperation is quite pleasant. In fact, I think the meat of the gu carvings is unpalatable. I don't know why they are so fascinated. Sometimes the gu carvings fly here but we don't find it in time. And they'd be so excited to yell and yell to lure us in - it's really hard to let go of any of the goodness."
"Uh..." Xiao Yan felt that this explanation was a bit weird.
At this time, they turned out of the dense forest, and their eyes suddenly opened up.Xiao Yan and Taotie were taken aback, they didn't expect that besides these mountains, there is actually a country with a large scale.From a distance, the population is quite dense, and the vehicles and horses are busy.
"Look over there—" Taotie pointed in a certain direction.
Xiao Yan followed his gestures and found a sculpture of a nine-tailed fox on a building in the center that was taller than the sides.At this time, the sculptors were quite primitive and rough with post-modern minimalism in them, which actually formed a special vividness.Scanning around carefully again, Xiao Yan saw that there are large and small decorations of nine-tailed foxes everywhere in the country—from statuettes to patterns on cloth, and even decorative patterns on clay pots.
This kind of relationship between monsters and humans is almost unheard of!
The three of Qingfeng obviously saw the strangeness, and the round ears shook their tails happily: "They are coming!"
The group looked down condescendingly, and saw a group of chariots and horses approaching quickly at the foot of the mountain. The ceremonial guards were quite grand, and the banner with a nine-tailed fox painted on it was erected high. At the foot, everyone got out of the carriage and bowed again and again to the mountain here, and then lifted the clean pigs, cattle and sheep and other things held by delicate vessels and put them on a spacious table.
A few old men who looked respectable at first glance started dancing around the stage, chanting words while dancing, and shouting loudly from time to time, and everyone below kowtowed to the nine-tailed foxes on the mountain.
Crescent Moon tilted her head and shook her big tail, and the people below cheered like a festival.
Yuan Er enthusiastically introduced to Xiao Yan: "This is the ceremony before they exchange prey. These humans are good at everything, but exchanging things is too boring, and we have to wait for a long time every time... Actually, I suggested to the patriarch that in the future The clan fox also dances when changing things, so as not to be foolishly waiting on the top, which is strange-but the clan leader didn't agree."
"Nine-tailed foxes are an elegant race, how can they dance like this, no!" Qingfeng retorted again with round ears, and raised his chin proudly, "Nine-tailed foxes only dance for their partners to watch."
Xiao Yan and Taotie blinked, looked at the bottom, and then at the Nine-Tailed Fox standing high on the hill, they both opened their mouths wide.Things in the world are really nothing but a coincidence.
What kind of food exchange scene is this? It's clearly a place to worship the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy, okay?The specifications are even more grand than when the old man Zhi brought everyone together to worship the mountain god!
Xiao Yan could almost imagine how this custom came into being.This side is not too far away from Luwu Mountain, where Gu carvings are rampant, and they often suffer if they think about it.However, the Nine-Tailed Fox has never seen eye to eye with the Gu Eagle, and from time to time there will be a little friction. After a long time, the people here will give the aura of "dispelling demons and demons" and become an existence similar to a protector.Especially after Daimao's accident, the nine-tailed foxes would look for bad luck from time to time on the lonely Gu carvings, and they were worshiped by the people here.
As for the nine-tailed foxes, they probably saw that the unpalatable Gu carvings could be exchanged for delicious cattle and sheep, and they were also happy to "do business", so they talked with the ducks for an unknown amount of time, but they continued smoothly.
Xiao Yan can't help but laugh. The people here have a special physique, their mental strength is extremely weak, and their language is different from those he has come into contact with. I don't know what they were shouting excitedly when they sacrificed, but the old man once gave them popular science about some things commonly used in the south. The characters are still mainly pictographic at the moment, and the appearance of the mountains and rivers is slightly different, but they can even be read by guessing. I saw a long paragraph of praise written on the big rock next to the altar. It is said that the people of the country used to live in dire straits, and since the nine-tailed fox fairies of Qingqiu Mountain have taken pity on them, they have blessed the Qingqiu country with a hundred years of well-being and so on.
Cough... what a beautiful misunderstanding.
Xiao Yan was wondering whether the title of Qingqiu Kingdom existed long ago, or because of the white fox fairies who lived in Qingqiu Mountain, and Yuan Er cheered: "Wow, it's finally over!"
Crescent Moon and Round Ears carried the unlucky Gu Eagle and jumped down.The cliff is extremely high, but the nine-tailed fox is naturally able to resist the wind. Its silvery white hair and long tail fluttered in the air, causing the people of Qingqiu to cheer loudly.Qingfeng shook his tail and invited Xiao Yan: "Do you want to go down and have a look together?"
Xiao Yan looked at the fanatical fans below, and silently took a step back, forget it, keep a low profile...
Aomine didn't force himself, jumped lightly, and jumped directly onto the altar. Except for his own hair, he didn't bring up a speck of dust, which aroused countless cheers, like an idol falling from the sky at a fan meeting.Sanhu reservedly threw the Gu sculpture under the altar, nodded to the extremely excited crowd, then turned around, picked up the sacrifice with bright eyes, and ran back.
The people behind started to dance around the gu carving again, it was as lively as a festival.
"It's a human being with a special taste. I would be very happy to get a Gu Eagle." Qingfeng sighed leisurely, moving his ears happily, obviously feeling that the Nine-Tailed Fox had taken advantage of it.
Round Ears and Crescent Moon were still a little jumpy, and their feet began to float: "Ah, patriarch, this roast pig smells so good, I really want to eat it!"
"Hold on, go back and share it with everyone!" Qingfeng was very principled, paused, and then turned to Xiao Yan, "Stay...cough, kid, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something with your partner first?"
Obviously, Xiao Yan, who survived all kinds of hardships, has some privileges.
Xiao Yan and Taotie shook their heads while holding back their laughter.
Speaking of which, the people of Qingqiu Kingdom have extremely weak mental strength, almost no divine blood ability, except for their strong physique, it should have been extremely difficult to live in this world full of ferocious beasts, but by accident, they and The Nine-Tailed Fox had a beautiful misunderstanding. The Nine-Tailed Fox's frequent haunts made many beasts afraid to approach it, and even the terrifying Gu sculptures were cleaned up from time to time, which gave the Chinese people a great room for development.Now they are many and strong, and they live and work in peace and contentment in the fertile Qingqiu country. Speaking of which, they are really thanks to the blessing of the nine-tailed fox.
Qingqiu Mountain is also lush in winter, with giant verdant trees covering the sky and gurgling water, without the slightest coldness in the north.Qingfeng and his party were warmly welcomed by the foxes on the road in twos and threes. The "delicious food exchanged" and "the dumb hair returned with nine tails" attracted many onlookers. Yan talked to him, and after being shocked by the bizarre change of his "amnesia, enlightenment", he tried to touch his nine tails.
Taotie guarded Xiao Yan's side, looking at the curious foxes, he always felt that Xiao Yan's tail hair would be bald by them.
Fortunately, Qingfeng is still reliable, let all the foxes stop making trouble, and gather at night, firstly to celebrate that Daimao is fine, secondly, just after exchanging food, the clan will share it together.
This time, the fox talked a lot, and Xiao Yan couldn't correct it anymore, "It's Xiao Yan, not a dumbass". Read it all over.
During the celebration at night, Xiao Yan and Tao Tie unexpectedly discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is quite foodie.A few pigs, cattle and sheep from Qingqiu country have been processed briefly, and now they are roasted on the fire. In order to prevent the meat from getting too old, a layer of jam will be brushed on top from time to time.In addition, there are some scattered meat, most of which are bird meat, and those that can be transformed into human shapes, and they are more particular about handling different parts than many human beings.
