The sky was getting dark, the moon's shadow was slanting to the west, and at dawn, a chill came over me.
A-Nian and I were in the house together and stayed up all night. I was a little sleepy. But Ru Yuan had already fallen asleep on the table.
It has been two hours since Hook Snake was let go by Anian. After calculation, the diviner should have arrived.
Suddenly, Ruyuan sat up in shock, quickly adjusted her breathing, and said, "Here we come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door. Then, without waiting for a response, the door was opened.
The fortune teller Zisang stands in the middle. On the right is the masked woman, who is still covering her chest and unable to stand upright. On the left is Ruyu who is still unable to move.
"Miss Yinluo, don't you want to explain to me? Ask yourself, when you came to Qingqiu, I have always treated you with courtesy and promised to help you detoxify. Why did you break into our clan's holy land and steal the jade hairpin?"
, he took a hard look at Ruyu beside him.
"You are the diviner of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, so you naturally have to consider the safety of the entire clan. However, your ancestors also promised to hand over the jade hairpin to me. Is it true that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has always gone back on its word and repaid kindness with enmity? This
The jade hairpin is not your Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s property, I’m just getting back something that belongs to me.”
"Miss Yinluo! I thought I had explained it clearly to you yesterday. Without the jade hairpin, the illusion of Qingqiu will no longer exist. By then, my nine-tailed fox clan will have nowhere to go. I was forced to temporarily
I rebuilt this illusion with the power of the jade hairpin, why do you want to put my family back into danger?"
"Borrow? I will be unconscious by then and almost die, but I really didn't hear the diviner say even a word of borrow. Or maybe the diviner thought that I would definitely not survive, so he just handed this thing over to me.
You brought the treasure out of the restricted area of Ganoderma lucidum, can’t you bear to see it destroyed too?”
The diviner's expression was complicated, but he seemed speechless.
"Actually, I don't want to destroy your illusion, nor do I want to possess this so-called 'divine object' that has been stained with countless grudges and entanglements. I just want to use a little power of the jade hairpin to cure myself of the poison. Is this so?
Will it really put your clan in danger?"
"Uncle Zisang, I was the one who poisoned this poison, but Yinluo protected me time and time again. Please help me repay Yinluo's favor. You just need to tell me how to detoxify it, and I will detoxify it for her."
"Yuan'er! You..." The diviner gritted his teeth at Ru Yuan's words.
"What the diviner is worried about is nothing more than fear that Miss Yinluo will be discovered by the Gods. I have also said before that our Demon Clan will take good care of her and will never let her fall into the hands of the Gods and destroy all living beings. What's more,
Compared to you, we demons are more afraid that her blood will be obtained by the gods. This kind of task should be left to us. With the power of my demons, the gods will naturally not be able to succeed easily." A Nian also expressed his feelings.
.
"Or maybe the diviner has other unknown plans?"
Seeing that the diviner was still hesitant, I took out a wooden box from behind. When the diviner saw the box, his expression changed. But even so, he still stood outside the door pretending to be calm, but his eyes were fixed.
Stare at the box.
I slowly raised my hand, ready to open the box.
"stop!"
I smiled faintly, but did not stop because of it. But in the blink of an eye, my hand was firmly grasped, and the diviner was already standing beside me with his waist bent.
But Ru Yuan unexpectedly grabbed the box and opened it.
The moment it was opened, a strange light flashed out of the box, and then countless colorful and crystal clear beads appeared. Ru Yuan had already opened his eyes wide and was stunned.
"This is... the true essence of the nine-tailed fox demon!" Ru Yuan's hand slipped and the box fell instantly. The diviner quickly stopped his hand and caught the box that was about to fall to the ground. He carefully held it in his hand and carefully
Look at it carefully.
"Uncle Zisang...are these really...the true essence of our people?"
Zi Sang remained silent, but his expression indicated that he had answered in the affirmative.
"But...how can there be black mist in that true essence? Is that...demon energy?"
"Ruyuan, do you still remember the forbidden technique you told me about the nine-tailed fox clan practicing with demonic energy? Your grandfather also ended up like that because of practicing demonic energy."
"Remember……"
"But, have you ever thought about it carefully? Since this is a forbidden technique of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, how do you and Ruyu know about it?"
"Of course it is..." Ru Yuan was very sure at first, but suddenly he hesitated, "It is... the memory... from my mother..."
"Then do other members of your fox clan also know about this forbidden technique?"
"It seems... no one has mentioned it. Not only this, but the fox clan's secret skills and forbidden skills, according to the rules, cannot be easily known to the clan members."
"That's right. Then why does your mother know?"
Ruyuan seemed to be thinking carefully. I glanced at Ruyu and saw that she was also a little confused.
"Before, I secretly stole the secret of fate from the soothsayer's place, but my mother... didn't seem to have it... Even though she had used mind-reading to obtain information about the demon hunter's stronghold, she did not use the secret of fate.
The memory..." Ruyuan is still trying to remember.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and said, "It seems that someone told her before!"
"Who is it?" I looked at her and asked firmly.
"Yes..." Ruyuan shook her head, as if this memory was incomplete.
"It's him." Ruyu said coldly, looking straight at one person.
It was Zisang, the diviner.
Ruyuan was even more surprised.
"Uncle Zisang? Why did you tell your mother about the forbidden technique?"
"Then do you know the real reason for Qingqiu's destruction?"
"Of course I know! It was the descendants of Dayu who pretended to surrender with the jade hairpin. As a result, they later induced the clan leader to practice demonic energy..." After saying that, Ruyuan also seemed to have discovered something was wrong, "But... since it is a forbidden technique of our clan
, how could the descendants of Dayu know?"
"So, it's probably not the descendants of Dayu who really induced the clan leader to practice demonic energy, right? It's a pity that those of you clansmen who either died innocently or were lucky enough to survive don't know how the clan leader suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty maniac.
Right? Even if it is your grandfather, everyone is afraid that he lost his nature after being forcibly corroded by the demonic energy in order to suppress the demonic energy. However, they do not know that it was him who was cultivating the demonic energy. It is said that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan can
Inheriting the memories of ancestors, but some memories cannot be passed on. For example, the person who possesses this memory has no descendants at all. And the person who induced the first two clan leaders to practice demonic energy does not know why.
."
Ruyuan was silent. It seemed that my guess was indeed correct.
"Okay! Now that things have happened, why not let me tell you the reason."
At this moment, I really don’t know how many secrets the diviner holds.
"Yes, I was the one who told them to practice the forbidden magic technique."
"Uncle Zisang!?" Ruyuan almost didn't write, expecting that the diviner would admit it so frankly.
"I know that this secret cannot be kept for long, but Miss Yinluo happened to find it first."
"Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
"Guilty? Why should I feel guilty? Everything I do is for the sake of the entire Nine-tailed Fox clan. You have also seen during the day that the nature of the Nine-tailed Fox clan is to be content with the status quo and not see anything close to it.
The immediate danger. Ever since my grandfather ordered the sealing of those secret arts and forbidden arts, for thousands of years, no one has dared to create a holy place where the secret arts and forbidden arts are hidden. No matter how great the disaster, as long as he can find a place to stay,
Therefore, everyone has returned to the state of being carefree and carefree. Behind this seemingly harmonious situation, they are constantly being plotted, exploited, slandered, and killed by foreigners. Let me ask, all of this,
Whose fault is it? Is it my nine-tailed fox clan’s fault?
"I just want to find a way to make the Nine-tailed Fox Clan really strong, so strong that we don't have to hide in the corner, waiting for others to invade and kill us. We should use our own efforts to create a side that truly belongs to us.
Our own territory is the true pure land where there is no war, harmony and peace."
"So, you're going to induce them to practice demonic energy to increase their strength?"
"Yes. Once, one of my uncles had discovered this method. Unfortunately, because all those who practiced demonic energy gradually lost their nature, my grandfather forcibly banned this method of cultivation and removed my
My uncle's family was all locked up. In the end, they lost their nature because of practicing demonic energy. They killed each other in the place where they were imprisoned. No one survived. But later I discovered that the reason why the nine-tailed fox clan lost their nature when they practiced demonic energy was that
It is precisely because there are too many subconscious minds hidden in our hearts, and most of these subconscious minds are dark, paranoid, and even evil. In the final analysis, it is because we are used to deceiving ourselves and others and do not dare to face the dark side of our hearts that the evil spirit has a chance.
Then, as long as our will is strong enough, we can naturally suppress the influence of evil spirits on us.
"The first two clan leaders were both very determined people. Furthermore, since you are the clan leader, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility of controlling the fate of the clan. Even if you have to risk your life, you must not flinch."
"However, what you did caused disastrous consequences. Even so, is it worth it?"
"What is worth it? What is not worth it? Moreover, I didn't want to be so hasty, but every time I asked the clan leader to practice this forbidden technique under forced circumstances. It's a pity that although I tried hard to clear away those distracting thoughts in their hearts
, but still failed... Once upon a time, Zhuyu was the best candidate for the trial. I found that she could purify the dirty part of her mind on her own. Unfortunately, that damn descendant of Dayu actually harmed her.
Such a situation... Later, our clan was trapped in the forbidden area of Ganoderma lucidum. The clan leader originally wanted to suppress the demonic energy, but found that the demonic energy was endless. Therefore, I took the risk and told him how to cultivate the demonic energy. He was already doing his best.
We suppressed it, but in the end it ended up being the same. But if not, how could we save ourselves? Are we going to watch the entire tribe being eroded by demonic energy and completely destroyed?"
As the diviner spoke, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his expression revealing a reluctance, but also infinite exhaustion and powerlessness about the fate of the whole clan.
"Then what happened to these true essences that were filled with demonic energy?"
"After the painful experience of two clan leaders, I naturally don't dare to take risks again. Therefore, I am trying to find a way to truly and perfectly integrate the demonic energy with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's true essence. I can not only borrow the power of the demonic energy, but also
Can I not cause my tribe to lose their true nature? In desperation, I collected the true essence of those tribe members who were dying when they were seriously injured, and used this to test it. Once it is really successful, I can guide the tribe members to practice demonic energy, and then, they can become gods.
Demons no longer dare to covet and invade my Nine-tailed Fox Clan. Then, why should I bother to create any Qingqiu fantasy world? Our clan’s Qingqiu is everywhere, and we don’t want to find any demon world, at least.
, we can truly have a place to live.”
After listening to the diviner's words, I could not help but feel endless feelings in my heart, but also felt a little sad. I was immersed in the diviner's hypothesis about the fate of the whole family for a while, without commenting.
"What a wishful thinking. Among the six realms, only the Gods are the protagonists who can truly control the power of the Book of Heaven. It is nonsense to want to compete with the Gods." The silence was finally broken by Ruyu, who had been placed aside before.
Moreover, he still gave the diviner a blow in the head, as if to completely defeat all his efforts.
The diviner gave her a hard look. Even though there was something very complicated in his eyes, he did not rebuke her anymore.
"So, please Miss Yinluo, please return the jade hairpin. When I really find a way to safely cultivate the demonic energy, I will naturally detoxify you as soon as possible. Don't worry, I created this lust poison, and I will naturally find ways to protect it."
You will also try your best to prevent the unborn child from being harmed by this poison."
"Yinluo! You have to figure it out! Even if Zisang can really succeed in the experiment, even if you have time to wait, there is no time to waste what is sealed in the bead on my body!"
Just when I couldn't make a decision, Ruyu reminded me of the situation I was facing now.
