The weather was fine, and nothing seemed to have happened on the grassy cliff top. In the distance, the faint sound of water from the fairy waterfall came, as if the sound of water washed away, making the place always peaceful. However, there was something else.
Who knows the dangers and fluctuations hidden behind this tranquility? A little carelessness can cost you your life.
"Why are you still looking for that banshee?"
"Yun Zhong, Lijiang is too far away from here. Even if Yun Jin takes us there, the round trip will take more than ten days. I don't want to waste more time because of this."
"What does this have to do with the fox demon?"
"You don't know something. Nine-tailed foxes are very strange among monsters. They are especially good at time and space magic. If she can help, we can cross thousands of miles and reach Lijiang in an instant."
"But...she poisoned you and me. Isn't it dangerous for you to find her like this?"
"Don't worry, I have dealt with her several times. She did not poison her intentionally, and she is no match for me in terms of spiritual power. Naturally, I dare not have other ideas. You wait for me in the cabin, and I will go find her right away.
.”
"That's fine...then be more careful."
"Um."
Even so, I think he still has concerns.
"Don't worry Yunzhong, nothing will happen to you."
——
"Why are you still looking for me?"
As soon as I arrived at the orchard, I heard the voice of the fox demon. When I turned around, she was already standing behind me.
"The deal between you and me is not over yet, naturally it will come."
"Thank you for remembering our deal? I could have killed her yesterday, but why did you stop me?"
The fox demon was obviously a little angry because of what happened last night.
"The show isn't over yet, so I certainly won't let you take her life."
"That's your show! I'm not interested anymore!" The fox demon's expression became even more angry, but even so, her beautiful face still showed a bit of playfulness.
I smiled faintly and said: "Really? Well, if that's the case, you might as well find someone else to trade with you. With the proud personality of your nine-tailed fox clan, you naturally won't ask for help from mortals, let alone Boyi and Meng Yunzhong.
Even though he is a master among mortals, he is not easy to deal with. Or do you want to find other monsters? You Ruojun has the monster-transforming water on his body, so ordinary monsters cannot do it. However, you want to find a monster with strong spiritual power and willingness to trade with you.
, easier said than done? Could it be that you have already made up your mind to do it yourself? I am also very surprised, it was so easy for you to kill her, why did you want to borrow the help of others? If you have scruples, why did you take action yesterday? So, I
I conclude that you had no intention of killing her yesterday."
At this point, the fox demon finally wiped away the angry look just now, and instead smiled, saying: "You are really smart. I didn't intend to kill her yesterday, I just wanted to embarrass her. Besides, I poisoned you last time, after all.
I owe you what I owe you, and I will repay you once by helping you out."
"Isn't it more than that? When you attacked You Ruojun yesterday, you only used three-thirds of your mana. You didn't decide to kill her at all. Moreover, with your cultivation, how could Boyi, a mortal, easily block you? So?
, you are not trying to take her life at all, but to frighten and scare her..."
"Yes, I just like to see her being tortured and in pain..." the fox demon said bitterly, moving her body seductively beside me as she spoke.
"What else? I heard that there is a secret technique in mind reading that can peek into other people's memories. However, this secret technique can only be used when the opponent's will is weak. In my opinion, that's what you want to do in the game.
If you use this secret technique when your will is weak, I just don't understand what memories she has that interest you."
The fox demon was a little surprised at first, but immediately returned to its charming smile.
"Well, since you have seen it all, I don't have to hide it from you. I am interested in You Ruojun's memory. There is no need to go to such trouble. She is just a mortal. It is too easy to pry into her thoughts.
.But the strange thing is that she didn't know what method she used to seal part of her memory, so I can't read it. The secret technique you mentioned is called fate technique, and I stole it from the clan leader. It's a pity.
You suddenly attacked me, and I failed."
"I remember that there was once a clan of nine-tailed fox demons that came to the Depressed Forest, but my mother thought that the nine-tailed fox demons were too sinister, so she did not take them in. But my mother also told me that the nine-tailed fox clan has always been arrogant, so after that
No nine-tailed fox comes close to the Yuzhu Forest anymore, and the rules of the nine-tailed fox clan are very strict. If you steal the secret technique, aren't you risking your life? Is the memory of You Ruojun, a mortal, worth risking your life?"
"Haha..." The fox demon suddenly smiled charmingly, "What? Are you becoming interested in my secrets? Okay, it seems that you will definitely continue our deal."
The fox demon put his face in front of mine, and his charming eyes pierced directly into my eyes.
"Yes, isn't the condition of our transaction that you know all the secrets? Naturally, that includes yours."
"Since you have guessed something, then remember that before you kill her, you must leave a gap for me to see her memory. After she dies, I will naturally take all the
I’ll tell you all the secrets.”
"But now you have to help me go to Lijiang, Yunnan."
The fox demon frowned slightly and said: "Actually, I don't understand why, since you agreed to my deal, why did you go to all the trouble to save her? Is it all because of that mortal? I will kindly advise you,
There is no loyal man among mortals. Moreover, you are a demon and will always be a demon. You cannot stay with a mortal forever. Have you forgotten the pain of separation? "
"The pain of separation..."
There is something in the fox demon's words. Could she be referring to the mortal man who once had a good relationship with me? But how did she know?
"No need to guess, you will know everything after you complete the transaction. Take that mortal to Quexian Waterfall, and I will take you to Lijiang. I would like to see how the drama between the three of you goes on."
Indeed, why bother guessing, so what if she knows? Meng Yunzhong and I have written so many promises, and he doesn’t mind that I am a monster. It’s just that in just a few decades, we will definitely be able to go on well.
.The separation, although profound, still seems far away. Why worry about all the unpredictable things in the future?
I answered the fox demon and returned to the cabin.
Meng Yunzhong had been waiting for me in the corridor because he was worried. He must have seen my meeting with the fox demon, but he just couldn't hear our conversation.
"She agreed."
I looked at him and said calmly. But he didn't speak, he just looked at me, as if he had many questions, but he still didn't ask them.
"Yun Zhong, if I were a mortal woman, who would you choose to leave first when we are old?"
Although I told myself not to speculate, the fox demon's words of "separation" still lingered in my heart.
"Yin Luo... If possible, let's leave together... I don't want any of us to suffer the pain of separation... It's a pity that in this life, I can only let you endure the suffering alone. However, since you are a demon, you must
I can live a long time, and maybe after many years, you will forget me."
"No...I won't forget..."
I leaned gently against his body, and my heart was churning. I touched the purple crystal on my neck. Yes, I will not forget it, just like I will not forget the man who once promised me a ring.
Same.
"Yun Zhong, let's go to Quexian Waterfall now."
When we arrived at Quexian Waterfall, the fox demon was already looking at us with a charming smile. She twisted her slender waist and walked to Meng Yunzhong's side.
"Oh...Yinluo really saw the right person. Even I can't help but feel moved after seeing this appearance!"
I glanced at her and she took a step back knowingly.
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you." She remained unyielding and showed no weakness.
Meng Yunzhong, on the other hand, looked alert, but not panicked.
"Do you need my help casting a spell?"
The fox demon smiled evilly again and said, "No, just hug each other."
I ignored him, just held Meng Yunzhong's hand and nodded to the fox demon.
The fox demon understood, and the charming smile on her face disappeared instantly. She lifted one foot lightly and spun around in place. In a trance, she seemed to be surrounded by strands of ribbons, and she seemed to be dancing gracefully. It was just that
A circle of light smoke gradually appeared on her toes sticking to the ground. She stopped in place, her eyes slightly closed, and silently recited a spell. I only felt an air flow beginning to surround Meng Yunzhong and me. Although this air flow was not strong, it seemed
It can trap people firmly in it. Looking again, everything around us is getting blurry, until we are completely surrounded by the light smoke caused by the fox demon. In this chaos, we seem to have lost touch with time and space, even under our feet.
Everything has become nothing.
In the blink of an eye, the fox demon smiled at us, raised his feet and slowly touched the ground. At the same time, the light smoke around us gradually dispersed. When the sight became clear, the fairy waterfall had disappeared, and we were now in a place surrounded by trees.
Strange place.
"How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"
The fox demon looked at Meng Yunzhong and asked pretending to be pitiful. Meng Yunzhong turned his face away and ignored her whimpering.
"Huh, another one who doesn't know good people's hearts." The fox demon said bitterly, "Through this forest, you can reach Yifeng Valley. The immortal in the valley has set up a barrier and cannot use time and space magic, so I can only
I will send you here. After you finish your work, I will naturally show up to take you back."
As he spoke, the fox demon's figure had already dispersed and disappeared into the air.
"Yinluo, let's go."
"I'll take you the rest of the way."
With that said, I activated my spiritual power and took Meng Yunzhong off the ground.
After a while, there was a vast expanse of red in front of us, and on the edge of the red, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Strangely enough, this red maple forest was extremely dazzling, and it seemed that someone had deliberately placed it in this valley.
A patch of greenery did not affect its integrity at all, and there were no other maple trees on the surrounding mountains. It was indeed a place of spiritual energy.
"Presumably, this is Yifeng Valley."
Meng Yunzhong and I landed in the maple forest, surrounded by this unusual beauty. As soon as we touched the ground, I felt a clear spiritual energy permeating my body from the soles of my feet. Although there was no wind, the maple leaves in the maple forest
But it can naturally swing slightly. What's even more strange is that it's only early summer, but the maple trees in the forest are already as bright red as fire, and they don't seem to wither. There is not a single fallen leaf on the ground, only a thin layer of grass mat, covering the leaves.
The red maple leaves, no matter where you look, look like a path leading to a fairyland. The maple trees are layered on top of each other, and you can't see the end at all. You can only hear the sound of gurgling water, but you don't know where it comes from, as if
It was deliberately set up so that once people enter this valley, they won't want to leave.
“The scenery here is really beautiful and full of spiritual energy.”
For a moment, I was really fascinated by this scene. If Zhuoyun Xiaozhu is also a carefully laid out residence for gods, but compared to this place, it lacks a lot of flamboyant beauty. Once I take a look, I will never forget it.
But just when I was intoxicated, I felt a commotion and a strong sense of oppression wrapped around me. I came back to my senses immediately, but after carefully observing the surroundings, there was no other phenomenon, but this sense of oppression was
It became more and more intense, and finally a strong light suddenly gathered over the maple forest, illuminating everything around me and Meng Yunzhong brightly. Could it be...
The Sword of Cang Rong! Just as I was thinking about it, a lightning-like sword fell from the sky and plunged into the ground in front of me.
But why is this? I didn’t chant a spell to summon it! Could it be that the spiritual energy in this place would cause the Sword of Cangrong to respond to it?
Meng Yunzhong pulled me and took a step back. He was really surprised. On the one hand, it was because of the sudden change, and on the other hand, he saw the Cang Rong Sword. As a swordsman, he saw such a magical thing.
Soldiers will naturally feel horrified.
He was about to reach out and pull out the Cangrong Sword that was stuck on the ground, but I hurriedly stopped him. This extraordinary sword is impossible for a mortal to hold. If you take it by force, you may be injured by the backlash.
.
"Yun Zhong, no! You can't hold the Sword of Cang Rong!"
"The Sword of Cangrong...is this also the treasure in Yifeng Forest?"
"No, this is the artifact I told you to use to suppress demonic poisons. I make it invisible and wear it around me every day, but I don't know why it is like this now..."
"The artifact...is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary swords."
Meng Yunzhong looked at Cang Rong's Sword in awe and looked at it carefully.
"Strange, why can't I cast disguise on it?"
I tried several times, but found that my spiritual power had failed on it, as if it appeared on its own. Is there any reason?
