Chapter 261
Facing Deng Kai's last request before his death, Li Jiao smiled slightly and said, "Deng Kai, you are not as heartless as you seem on the surface... Want to delay time? Wait for the friend you call to save you?! No problem,
It doesn't matter if I tell you, anyway, I like to see other people despair."
After she finished speaking, she slowly walked to the big tree wrapped around Zhou Shiwu, lovingly stroked his bloodless cheek and said, "I am a fox ghost in the forest. I just want to stay away from the world and practice.
I don’t want mortals to keep cutting down trees and occupying forests for hundreds of years. In order to survive, I chose to retreat again and again. But when one day I can’t retreat, I know that I should change my way of living..."
Unfortunately, Li Jiao's cultivation at that time was still shallow, and she was never stable after turning into a human form. She almost showed her weakness in front of humans several times. It was at this time that she met the mountain god here, who was willing to help her completely turn into a human form, but the price was high.
She is required to sacrifice a man to the mountain god every seven years.
The fox ghost is naturally charming, but few men who are targeted by her can escape her charm, so she has kept her promise for hundreds of years and deceived a man to go up the mountain every seven years...
During the hundreds of years that Li Jiao had been hidden in the human world, she had already seen clearly that men in the world were very passionate when they were in love, but as time went by they would get tired of each other, wishing to hide far away, and it would be annoying to look at them even more, so she
All these years of deceiving people into the mountains, I never felt guilty...until I met Zhou Shiwu.
When Li Jiao met Zhou Shiwu, he was a real bad guy, and he even went to jail... She originally thought that sacrificing such a person to the mountain god would be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, but as the two slowly got along,
In the process, she discovered that Zhou Shiwu was not as heinous as he seemed on the surface.
Although Zhou Shiwu looks fierce, he will gently drive away the kitten hiding under his car to keep warm; although he is a bad moneylender, he will choose to call the creditor out of his house when he sees that there are children in the other person's home.
Debt collection, just so as not to scare the little girl who is only 5 years old; although he is covered in tattoos, he often drives away those little kids who want tattoos, and also warns the tattoo shop he often goes to if he dares to give tattoos to children
, it will destroy the other party's store.
It was this duplicity of Zhou Shiwu that confused Li Jiao. Although he seemed to have a rough temperament, he was always careful and patient when treating himself. This made Li Jiao feel reluctant to let go for the first time.
Feel……
Happy time always flies by. Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s time to sacrifice to the mountain god again. But this time, Li Jiao hesitated. She didn’t want Zhou Shiwu to die like this, so she
It took a year of hard work.
But soon Li Jiao paid the price for breaking her promise. She found that she gradually began to lose control of her human form. A layer of white hair would grow on her body from time to time, and her ears would turn into foxes when she was sleeping.
Ear……
Li Jiao knew in her heart that if she didn't sacrifice, she would completely change back to her original shape, but she still didn't want Zhou Shiwu to die for this, so she made an important decision to go back to the mountains to live in seclusion and never see Zhou Shiwu again.
Fifth, it doesn't matter whether you can be a good person or not, as long as Zhou Shiwu is safe.
But just when Li Jiao packed up her mood and was about to leave Zhou Shiwu, he accidentally drove Li Jiao to the Nanshan Mountain where the sacrifice was held. Li Jiao had the intention to stop it, but as soon as the car drove into the mountain, she
His every word and deed was immediately controlled by the mountain god, and in the end he could only watch Zhou Shiwu disappear from his sight...
After Li Jiao got rid of the mountain god's control the next day, she knew that Zhou Shiwu must have been sacrificed to the mountain god by now, but she knew that each sacrifice had to last for seven days before the human beings would be sacrificed.
He died after being completely drained of his essence, so if he wanted to save him, he had to find a scapegoat within seven days to replace Zhou Shiwu, so that he might still have a chance to survive.
When Deng Kai heard this, he nodded helplessly and said, "Yeah... then I will be the scapegoat! Li Jiao, I just want to know what you think? Why did you choose me? I, Deng Kai, have been with you since I met you.
I haven’t harmed you, have I?!”
Li Jiao shrugged and said, "Because you are easy to cheat, and the more important reason is... you must like me."
When Deng Kai heard this, his old face turned red and said, "Nonsense! How could I... like you?! Brothers and wives can't be bullied, okay? How could I do such an inhuman thing?"
Li Jiao smiled charmingly and said, "It's now this time, is there any use in being tough? I've met men ranging from a thousand to eight hundred. What kind of emotion is in the eyes of the other person looking at me... I can tell it at a glance.
From the first time you met me, I knew you liked me, but you didn't dare to show it out of brotherly love."
"Even if I like you, is this wrong? Everyone loves beauty. I just like you secretly in my heart and never thought of possessing you... I can control my body and my behavior.
But I can't control my heart!" Deng Kai said anxiously.
Li Jiao said to him helplessly, "It's your freedom to like me, and I'm very grateful that you like me... Otherwise, how can you replace Ah Wu? In fact, the man to be sacrificed is not just any man, first of all
The condition is that he must like me, really like me."
After hearing this, Deng Kai smiled bitterly and said, "Haha... just because I like you, do I deserve to die?"
"I have no choice. Between you and Ah Wu, I have no choice but to abandon you..." Li Jiao actually said with an innocent face.
Deng Kai thought for a while and said, "Have you ever thought that I might dislike you because you told me the truth?"
Li Jiao smiled and shook her head and said, "Impossible... The roots of love were not planted in one day, so how could they be broken in one day? Xiao Kai, remember, stay away from beautiful women in your next life, so that you may live longer."
.”
After Li Jiao finished speaking, she slowly walked towards Deng Kai, with murderous intent in her eyes...
Looking at the bloody eyes that opened again, Song Jiang felt a chill in his heart. These eyes were all full of unwillingness and resentment. If looks could kill, Song Jiang would have been pierced by thousands of arrows by now.
"These eyes are the result of the resentment in the hearts of those who died here in vain. It seems that there are other things besides vixens in this mountain..." Meng Zhe said in a deep voice.
"What?" Song Jiang asked nervously.
Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "I can't say yet...but it must be some kind of evil spirit trapped in the mountains. It can only use the fox demon to lure humans into the mountains for it to devour. Judging from the number of these eyes, this situation
It has been going on for at least hundreds of years."
