023. Wake up
The long-lasting silence was like a giant beast in the dark, swallowing them up.
The faint mountain wind passed by, making the girl in blue sneeze. She looked at Gu Qi with a red face, broke the silence, and said, "The little fox in your arms is so cute. Where did it come from? Can you hug me?"
The two people behind the girl in blue also came up, their eyes circling around the little white fox, as if they were attracted by the cute little fox. They wanted to reach out to touch the little fox, but they felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Qi naturally would not tell them that the little white fox is the child of the Tianling Demon Fox. He shook his head and said, "Do you care about me. If you want to hug me, buy it yourself, so I won't hug you!" After that, he hugged the little white fox even tighter.
The girl in blue was stunned, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her face. She bulged her cheeks and looked at the little white fox in Gu Qi's arms. She saw that the little white fox was curled up and leaned against Gu Qi's arms and sleeping soundly, licking her chestnut-like nose from time to time, making her want to touch the little white fox's fluff even more.
She gritted her teeth and said, "What should you do to let me touch it?"
Gu Qi shook his head like a rattle and refused, "Don't even think about it, there's no way!"
The girl in blue was so angry that her teeth were itchy. If she hadn't been caring about the girl's reserve, she might have pounced on her next moment and bit Gu Qi hard.
"Young master, just touch this little fox for my lady! She really likes small animals!" The older girl stood up and looked at Gu Qi with a begging look on her face.
Another girl also stood up and said, "Yes, young master, just let our lady touch the little fox. I promise, our lady just touched it and would never wake it up!" As she said that, she quietly pulled the corner of the girl in blue.
Looking at the sad eyes of the three girls, Gu Qi finally softened his heart, put down his hand, revealing half of the little white fox's body, and said, "I agreed to touch it, if I touch it too much, I will collect money!"
The girl in blue raised her head and smiled sweetly. In a moment, the dark cave seemed to be brighter. She withdrew her sword, carefully reached out her hand, gently touched the little white fox's head, and said, "Little white fox, you are so cute, wow, it feels so comfortable to touch..."
Looking at the girl in blue, Gu Qi couldn't help but say, "Hey, hey, I'll touch her. If you don't let go, I'll collect the money!"
The girl in blue ignored him and touched the little white fox's head with a silly smile, then touched its tail, looking like she couldn't let it go.
Before Gu Qi could speak, another girl handed over a heavy piece of gold and put it in Gu Qi's hand, saying, "Young Master, these ten taels of gold are enough to buy hundreds of little foxes. Just let my lady touch it for a while!"
Gu Qi looked at the gold in his hand. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still put the gold away and said nothing.
The girl in blue touched her for a while before stopping, looked at Gu Qi with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, I've touched her enough!"
At this time, the little white fox's fluff had been rubbed into a mess by her, and her hair was blown up all over her body, like a white-haired lion king.
Gu Qi turned black and wanted to blame the girl in blue for being rude, but he just collected their money and didn't know what to say at all, so he had to curse in his heart: "Rude!"
At this time, the sleepy Fan Xiru slowly opened his eyes and moaned: "Where am I..."
Fan Xiru had just woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a hazy black shadow. Then what caught his eye was a dim cave, with Fan Zhenhai and the accountant Mr. Lao Ba lying beside him.
She felt cold in her heart, thinking that she had arrived at the underworld, so she struggled to stand up, but her hand was holding on the ground for a moment, and a sharp pain suddenly came from her arm. She couldn't help but scream, looked down and saw three wounds on her arm cracking and blood flowing out.
When everyone heard the sound, they looked back and saw Fan Xiru opening his eyes leisurely and struggling to get up.
Before Gu Qi could react, the girl in blue ran to Fan Xiru like the wind, held Fan Xiru and gently helped her up.
Only then did Fan Xiru see that there was a girl in blue in his sixteen or seventeen years old standing beside him, looking at her with a smile on her face. The golden clothing pattern on her chest was shining under the firelight. She recognized at a glance that the golden clothing pattern was an embroidered pattern that only disciples of the Fuling Sect could wear.
When Fan Xiru was about to ask who the girl in blue was, the girl in blue spoke first: "Sister, please wait, help me!"
Gu Qi also came over, looked at her with a frown, and said, "Are you okay?"
Fan Xiru endured the pain all over his body, smiled indifferently, and said, "It turns out that Mr. Gu saved me!"
Gu Qi nodded, without intending to hide it, and said, "In the inn, I felt a strong demonic aura appearing in the town. I pushed the window and you chased the black fog. I was afraid that you would encounter danger, so I followed you out. Unexpectedly, I came one step late, and was succeeded by the monster, hurt you, and took you here!"
Gu Qi spoke very quickly, and explained the whole story in a few words and told Fan Xiru why the Tianling Demon Fox was hurting people. However, when he talked about Tianyin Mountain, he hesitated for a moment and hesitated whether to tell them. However, when he thought about Tianyin Mountain, it was of great importance, and it was meaningless to hide it himself, so he told Fan Xiru and others about everything.
"Okay, I'm done!" Gu Qi clapped his palm and said, saying so many words in one breath, his mouth was a little dry.
Fan Xiru was stunned for a moment, remembering that more than ten days ago, a hunter was indeed selling it to Dexing Inn with a little fox. Although he was also present at the time, he didn't say anything. After all, he had seen too many such transactions.
Unexpectedly, the little fox became the reason why the Tianling Demon Fox hurt people. The reason why the Tianling Demon Fox hurt people was because his children were harmed by the people in the town, and the people who harmed the Tianling Demon Fox also included himself. Thinking of the people who died in the town, Fan Xiru fell into deep thought.
Although the girl in blue heard the story about the Tianling Demon Fox, she was stunned by what Gu Qi said last. Tianyin Mountain Zhoutian Star Dividing Array? She had heard her father mention it, that it was a powerful barrier that trapped countless great monsters in Tianyin Mountain!
The barrier is broken? Doesn’t this mean that the monsters on Tianyin Mountain can escape? Or, can someone enter Tianyin Mountain?
The girl in blue dared not think anymore, pointed to the body of the Tianling Demon Fox and asked, "You mean, there was a crack in the Zhoutian Star Dividing Array in the Yin Mountain that day, which caused the Tianling Demon Fox to escape from the Tianyin Mountain?"
Gu Qi nodded and said, "It's not a crack, it's a hole! Although the demon fox said that the loophole in the barrier was only discovered by her, it also proves that the formation has begun to have problems. If we are not alert, we are afraid that one day when the barrier is broken and all demons are born, the world will suffer a great disaster!"
The girl in blue was stunned for a moment, and the scene of the birth of thousands of demons appeared in her mind. When she thought of the innocent people circulating blood, countless monks couldn't help but feel even more frightened in her heart in order to resist the tragedy of monster death. She shook her head and said repeatedly: "Impossible, impossible, my father said that the Zhoutian Star Diving Enchantment Array in Tianyin Mountain is the strongest formation of the demon clan, and there will be no holes at all. You must be lying to me, right?"
Fan Xiru and the other two girls were confused and looked at Gu Qi in confusion. Gu Qi shook his head and said, "Your father knows about the Great Array of the Zhoutian Star Diving Enchantment in Tianyin Mountain. I believe he also knows where there is a Heavenly Spirit Fox in this world?"
The girl in blue shook her body and retreated slightly, and didn't speak for a long time.
