I!Nine tailed fox

Seeing people coming and going on the originally empty street, Xue Lichen couldn't help but grab a middle-aged man who was in a hurry, and asked, "Hey, old man, where is this place?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the four people in strange clothes, frowned and said, "Don't you know that Chao Ge is here?"

Xue Lichen was puzzled: "Recruiting a court? I don't remember that Tang Dynasty has such a place name!"

"You mean Chaoge?" Ouyang Xunyue walked over in surprise, "Isn't that the capital of King Zhou during the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"

The middle-aged man heard the words and said angrily: "Zhuzi is bold, how can he call the king King Zhou! Aren't you the secret workers from Xiqi?!"

Ouyang Xunyue hurriedly said: "Sir, I misunderstood. Su asked 'Chaoge night string fifty miles, eight hundred princes Chaoling Mountain', the few of us came to Chaoge for the first time, and we were shocked. We have absolutely no disrespect to the king!"

The middle-aged man saw that Ouyang Xunyue's face was better than that of a treacherous person, and he didn't pursue it too much. He just said: "There have been many disputes in Chaoge City recently. If you have nothing to do, it's better to go back as soon as possible, so as not to get involved in disasters and pay for it for no reason." life."

When the words fell, he left in a hurry.

Xue Lichen sighed: "This illusion is too realistic, isn't Baidi a one-to-one replica of Chaoge City?"

Lian Wuye said: "Even among the gods in the heavens, there are only a handful of people who can create such a huge illusion. As for the monsters, apart from Your Majesty, probably only the Nine-Tailed Fox, the ancestor of all monsters, can do this. "

"Nine-tailed fox?!" Xue Lichen's eyes lit up when he heard the name, "Isn't the nine-tailed fox just Daji! I heard that she has a peerless beauty and was ordered by Nuwa to help King Wu defeat Zhou, but in the end she died for King Zhou of Shang. Yu Lutai! We are in the Shang Dynasty now, so if we go to the palace now, will we be able to see the nine-tailed fox Daji?"

"I can't see it." Tu Shanlan, who hadn't spoken all this time, walked over slowly, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Haven't you discovered that in this illusion, all our spiritual power and spells have expired, and now we are like an ordinary The mortals are no different, and the palace is heavily guarded, how can we get in because we don't have any spiritual power?"

After hearing the words, the four demons tried it one after another, and as expected, they didn't have half of their spiritual power flowing, let alone cast spells, and they were a little stunned for a while. A big demon who lost his spiritual power is no different from a mortal without clothes walking On the street, there is no sense of security.

Only then did Wang Xiaoxiao start to feel a little nervous: "What should we do without spiritual power?"

"Find the breakthrough between the illusion and reality, and then go out." Tu Shanlan said solemnly, "However, the scale of this illusion is so large, it will be difficult to find the breakthrough. It depends on everyone's ability, after all, this is the final competition."

"How can we find this breakthrough without purpose?"

"This illusion belongs to Baidi, the breakthrough must be related to him, and since we have come to his illusion, various events will definitely be triggered, otherwise, why don't we just stay here and watch King Wu defeat Zhou? Xiqi The soldiers are coming soon."

Ouyang Xunyue wondered: "Brother Qingying, how do you know that Xiqi is coming soon? We only know that King Zhou is in power now, but King Zhou has been in power for 30 years. How do you know that this is the last year?"

Tu Shanlan choked for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly: "I'm just guessing wildly, after all, Xiqi was only a vassal state of the Shang Dynasty before, and has always been respectful to the king of Shang, but it can be seen that the uncle just now was very hostile to Xiqi It seems that the two sides are already at odds, so I feel that they are about to fight."

Xue Lichen stroked his chin: "Yo, I don't see that you still have some research on the history of the Shang Dynasty. But what you say makes sense, you really should find a place that has something to do with Baidi! After all, Baidi and Nine-Tailed Fox It belongs to the same period, the White Emperor hates the Nine-Tailed Fox so much, could it be the Nine-Tailed Fox, I think it is still necessary to go to the palace of King Zhou, and meet that peerless beauty!"

The fox was speechless: "Brother, you are too selfish, you obviously want to see it yourself!"

Xue Lichen still coaxed: "Who in this world doesn't want to see Daji?"

"Although Brother Li Chen does have selfish intentions, the only thing we can think of related to His Majesty right now is the Nine-Tailed Fox. I think we can try our luck first."

Even Wu Ye nodded in agreement, Wang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but judging by her appearance, he planned to follow her.

Tu Shanlan has nothing to say, he can't tell this silly boy that I am.Forget it, there is no other breakthrough at the moment, just a few of them who have no mana can't enter the palace at all, and if they keep refusing it, it will also cause suspicion. Since they want to go, let them hit the wall.

So the extremely excited Xue Lichen dragged Ouyang Xunyue to the front, followed by Lian Wuye and the vigilant Wang Xiaoxiao, and Tu Shanlan followed at the back, separating them by a short distance.

Lao Junsan asked behind him: "Fox, do you really have no spiritual power?"

"What are you thinking, do you really think I'm as weak as these brats? But in order to avoid suspicion, I can only temporarily seal my spiritual power first."

"Then you really took them to see themselves in the illusion?"

"I can't see it. If it was so easy to enter the palace, then Yin Shou would have been assassinated hundreds of times." Tu Shanlan said disapprovingly, "And this illusion is not an ordinary illusion, he is a memory illusion. "

"Memory illusion?"

"That's right, the illusion of memory is an illusion woven by your own memories of the past, but because it is memory, you can't change the ending of the illusion. No matter what you do in this illusion, history is irreversible."

"Ah, I see, that means we are not living in 700 years ago, what we see is only the memory of Baidi who was here, so no matter what we do here, the original history has become a given. The facts cannot be changed!"

"That's right, although the illusion of memory cannot be changed, it can be expanded."

"Broaden?" Laojun asked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Tu Shanlan said: "Only experts who build illusions can understand this. Do you know why I am sure that they cannot enter the palace?"

"Isn't it because the palace is heavily guarded?"

"Well, there is another reason." He pointed to the palace in the distance, "The color of this part of the palace is obviously darker than that of other places, it is precisely because the person who constructed this illusion has never entered the palace, so There will be darkness everywhere."

Lao Junsan wondered: "No, I see that the color of the palace is the same as other places. How can there be such a dark place as you mentioned?"

"People who don't know the art of illusion can't see it." Tu Shanlan explained, "The brighter the surrounding scenery, the more it means that he wants to enter the palace very much, but the palace is always dark, which means that he has never successfully entered. , This is a lock that cannot be opened in the illusion of his memory. What I mean by widening is to open this lock and let him go to places he has never entered to fill in the gap."

"You mean, although it can't be changed, it can be supplemented with memory, right?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"You said just now that he really wanted to enter the palace. Could it be that Emperor Bai is also in this illusion?"

"It's hard to say, he may be any character in the illusion, or he may not be in the illusion at all."

Lao Junsan looked at the people in the illusion and sighed: "Although it is a memory illusion, it is indeed very meticulous. I don't even see repeated people and things. Generally, I look at the illusions made by those illusions. In order to be lazy, A batch of exactly the same scenery will be made repeatedly, but this illusion is completely absent, which shows that it is very hard work."

"Probably because he has some obsession with the palace. You see, the closer you get to the palace, the brighter the color of everyone here is because he keeps in contact with the relationship that wants to open the lock."

Lao Junsan: "... To be honest, I can't see it."

"Oh, I forgot you can't create illusions."

"..."

Tu Shanlan murmured: "Even if it is me, it would take me thousands of years to refine such an extremely detailed illusion, but it is just a memory illusion. How can ordinary people spend so much time and energy filling it up?" What about his own memory, what kind of memory does he want to have that makes him so persistent?"

"However, to be honest, this may be the breakthrough point of this competition."

"Such important news, you don't tell those four?"

"I'm a little demon who just turned [-] years old, do you think it's appropriate for me to analyze this matter with them?" Tu Shanlan pouted, "I almost slipped my tongue in front of Ouyang just now!"

"That's true... Speaking of stinky fox, do you think this matter is really related to you, I mean, it has something to do with you more than 700 years ago!"

Tu Shanlan smacked his lips: "It's hard to say, let's take a step and see."

After the fox finished speaking, he looked at the four people in front of him. This Xue Lichen was like a tourist. He was surprised by everything he saw. When he saw what other people were selling, he would go up and ask about it. Then he found that he had no money and couldn't buy it. Blast away, still not convinced enough to quarrel with others, Ouyang Xunyue has been helping him to apologize to the other party; Lian Wuye is the most observant of the four, and occasionally stops at some places, but he rarely asks questions Most of the time, her eyes were very indifferent, and no one around her dared to approach her; Wang Xiaoxiao kept following Lian Wuye closely, as if she regarded Lian Wuye as her bodyguard, she would go wherever Lian Wuye went, Inseparable at every step... Maybe it was the first time for the four of them to come to such a miraculous illusion, let go of each other's grievances, and didn't care about Qingying anymore, which made the fox feel like he was stealing half a day's leisure.

And this place has too many past memories.

He was in a trance recalling the past when a noise in front of him pulled him back. They all looked there, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in ragged clothes rushing out of the crowd with something in his arms. The scar from being whipped, the boy lowered his head and charged forward, followed by a group of people chasing him with whips in their hands and yelling, "Little beast, don't run!"

Before Tu Shanlan could react, the boy slammed into his arms.

The fox was in pain from being hit, but he felt the boy in his arms trembling with fear. He looked down at the whip wounds on the boy's body, and directly protected the boy behind him. Looking at the panting people who came after him, he said: " Why bully a child in the street?"

"What boy, my lord, this... This kid is a habit of stealing. He often steals medicinal materials from our shop. Today, he was finally caught and beaten by us. How can he be bullied?!" The leading guy After wiping off his sweat, he realized that the person who defended the youth looked so outstanding, and was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not used to stealing!" The young man held the medicine in his arms and shouted in disbelief.

Seeing this, Tu Shanlan said: "It's your fault for using torture privately. This is Chaoge. Don't you know the consequences of lynching in the street?"

"Then...then he stole our medicinal materials, can we forget it like this? Don't hit him in the street until he honestly waits for him to come and steal in the future!"

Xue Lichen came over to help and said, "How much money he owes you, I'll just pay it for him."

When the leader heard that someone was willing to help pay, he also thought of taking the money to settle the matter, so he stretched out his hand and said, "That's fine, Mr. Ten Friends, this account will be cancelled."

Xue Lichen, who was taking out the source spar, froze in place: "Mr. Ten Friends? What is it?"

"Hey, buddy, this kid has all the best antidote medicines, I only accept ten friends from you, it's the best of humanity, okay?"

Ouyang Xunyue hurriedly grabbed Xue Lichen and said in a low voice: "He should be talking about the currency of the Shang Dynasty. It won't work for you to give them the source spar from the Demon Capital."

Xue Lichen hissed: "Isn't this His Majesty's illusion? Are you serious about playing it? Where can I go and give it to him?"

After thinking for a while, Tu Shanlan took off the hairpin on his head and handed it to the leader, "Can this hairpin of mine be used as medicine money?"

This is a valuable snake-shaped jasper hairpin, which naturally paid for the medicine. The leader was happy after receiving it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! There are enough!"

"My hairpin is more than just medicine for this time. If the child comes to get medicine again in the future, you must never hit him again. Do you understand?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" The leader knew that this hairpin was not a vulgar thing, so he was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart, and led a group of people away after touching the hairpin.

Seeing that they were gone, Tu Shanlan pulled out the young man behind him. Seeing that the young man was still trembling and did not dare to look up, he reached out to help him straighten his messy hair, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You take Is the medicine to save the family?"

Hearing this, the young man raised his head suddenly, his slightly childish face was stained with a few bloodstains, but he couldn't stop the young man's resolute and beautiful face: "Don't you call me a thief?"

"Why would you steal medicinal materials if you were forced into a desperate situation?" Tu Shanlan smiled with his eyes bent, "I paid for the medicine for you, and you can just go to them to get the medicine in the future."

The boy looked at him, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xue Lichen glanced at the young man and said, "Young man, learn your skills so that you can protect yourself in the future!"

At the end of the sentence, he dragged Ouyang away who was going to help the boy look at the injury, and dragged Ouyang away, saying: "It's okay, the skin is traumatic, the young man will recover soon when he grows up, come and see Daji with me!"

Even Wu Ye and Wang Xiaoxiao took a look at the young man and left. The fox was about to say goodbye to the young man, but the young man grabbed him by the corner of his clothes, looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Take me home."
