Chapter 615 Red Fox and White Fox (Part 2)

The red fox saw the white fox's six tail feathers, as fluffy as clouds and as white as snow, tightly clustered behind it.

He was so surprised that he couldn't believe that there was a strange fox with six tails in the world.

The white fox seemed completely unaware of the red fox's astonishment, and still moved forward with light steps.

In an instant, the pure and flawless fur on its body began to fall off piece by piece, like snowflakes flying all over the sky in winter.

Under the cover of this flying snow, the figure of the white fox gradually became looming.

For a moment, the red fox widened his curious eyes.

The white fox turned into a human girl in the blink of an eye.

She was dressed simply, with a playful bun on her head, and a childish face.

Just like the cardamom years of twelve or thirteen years old, fresh and refined, extraordinary agility.

There was no trace of the demonic fox attitude just now in his movements.

"Please wait here for a while until I return."

The girl transformed by the white fox looked back at the red fox, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said gently, "I will come back as soon as I go, and I will let you taste some human delicacies, which is far better than our old life of eating hair and drinking blood!"

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a trace of her back.

Looking at the figure of the white fox gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, the red fox's eyes were firmly fixed on the footprints in the snow.

This... what kind of fox is it... It has six tails and can turn into a human.

There were many doubts in Red Fox's heart, just like the book in his mind, which made him puzzled and could only increase his confusion.

The wind and snow became more and more fierce, and the cold wind was biting and biting. Red Fox couldn't help but feel the waves of cold coming, eroding his muscles and bones.

He wanted to turn around and leave, looking for a sheltered harbor.

But when I think of the white fox’s instructions before leaving and the unbearable hunger in my belly,

Red Fox still resolutely chose to stick to his original position and never moved a step.

Hungry and cold, the time was long and unbearable.

Red Fox's consciousness began to become blurry, as if he was in chaos.

Just before he was about to fall into coma, bursts of rapid shouts brought him back to consciousness.

The red fox tried his best to raise his head, and vaguely saw a girl in the skylight reflected by the white snow.

The girl was holding something carefully wrapped in oil paper in her hand. She walked lightly across the snow,

Every step he took stepped on those yellow and decaying branches and leaves, and there were waves of fine rustling sounds under his feet.

"Look! This is the human delicacy I brought for you!"

After that, she carefully unpacked the square box.

Suddenly, a rich and alluring aroma hit my nose.

The roasted chicken was golden in color and steaming, as if it still had the residual warmth of the stove fire.

The little red fox stared intently at the delicacy that was only a few feet away from him, feeling the fragrant aroma reaching his nose.

However, there was some hesitation in his heart. Even though he was hungry, he still couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him again and again.

The girl seemed to understand the red fox's doubts, and then the robe on her body gently fell off,

The next moment, the figure as white as snow with Vulpix trailing behind him appeared again.

"Come and eat, don't be afraid!" She called softly, "Just like you, we are both foxes from the land of Qingqiu. We have the same roots."

Seeing this scene, Red Fox finally gave up the hesitation and worries in his heart,

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, he rushed straight towards the tempting food and started chewing it.

While the red fox was enjoying it, the white fox was sitting elegantly aside.

Her six tails swayed gently with her movements.

"I think back then, three hundred years ago, when I just returned from traveling in the outside world, there were still more than ten members of my Qingqiu Fox Clan." The white fox's voice was filled with sadness as he slowly told the story of the past.

"Now I have searched all over Qingqiu, but I didn't expect that I only found you, a fox who has opened up his spiritual intelligence. It's really unpredictable."

"As for the other tribesmen... alas, they have all lost the blood of our fox tribe and have become mortal beasts."

However, the red fox was overwhelmed by hunger at this moment, and he could not fully listen to the white fox's words.

All his thoughts were focused on the food in front of him, and he just wanted to destroy it as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the white fox couldn't help but turn his eyes to the snow beside him, and sighed softly.

She chose to wait quietly until the red fox finished the food, and then she asked:

"Is this food to your liking?"

The red fox nodded desperately, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Not only that, the majestic energy and blood transformed by the food also began to surge in his body at this moment,

The red fox instantly became hot, like a burning flame.

Even the snow around him began to feel the heat and melted quietly.

When the white fox saw this strange scene, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh", but he didn't pay much attention to it.

She just smiled slightly, and then asked:

"Human food is indeed much better than our raw food."

"Then would you like to be able to eat these often in the future?"

When the red fox heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded even faster, like pounding garlic.

When the white fox saw this, he finally showed a happy expression, as if he saw the hope of inheriting the race.

She said slowly: "If that's the case, then I will teach you the secret knowledge of my Qingqiu Fox Clan - Nine Lives Heart Awareness!"

"Ah?" Red Fox listened, with a look of confusion on his face.

He tried hard to understand the white fox's words, but his brain began to be a little weak and he couldn't understand what the white fox was saying.

The white fox looked at the confused look of the red fox and was not surprised.

After all, how could this little guy who accidentally opened up his spiritual wisdom in the mountains and fields know what a demon is?

Not to mention how much dignity and glory the Qingqiu Fox Clan represents among demons.

But for the white fox, the innocence and desire of the red fox are enough.

She knew that the red fox was willing to do anything for food and survival.

And it was precisely because of hunger that she embarked on the path of transforming into a demon.

Now, she is willing to hand over this inheritance to this little guy who has a similar experience to her.

Eighty years later, the ancient temple in the wilderness.

This temple has been eroded by countless winds and rains, and its dilapidated state makes it difficult to tell its age.

However, it happens to be located on the only way to Beijing to take the exam.

Therefore, even in this desolate place, there are always passers-by in a hurry.

Choose to stay here temporarily, find a place to stay for a night, or escape from the sudden wind and rain.

Because of this, although the appearance of the ancient temple is dilapidated, the interior looks relatively tidy due to frequent maintenance by passers-by.

A stone Buddha statue stands quietly in the temple. It has suffered from weathering due to the ruthlessness of time.

The once clear facial features are now blurred, and no one can anymore identify the specific identity and origin of this Buddha statue.

The scholar looked up at the Buddha statue that was difficult to identify. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Buddha reverently.

Silently chanting: "May the Bodhisattva bless me. I will definitely be on the gold medal list this year and will not fail again, to comfort my family..."

After praying, the scholar did not leave immediately, but started to clean the temple briefly, as if to express his gratitude to the Bodhisattva for taking him in.

Then, he lit a dim oil lamp,

The scholar leaned against a corner of the ancient temple, picked up a volume, and began to read it carefully.

Just as he was immersed in the sea of ​​books and reading with all his concentration,

At some point, an old man appeared quietly in front of him.

The sudden appearance of this old man, holding a gong in one hand and a drumstick in the other, made the scholar stagger.

After the scholar took a closer look and recognized that this old man was the elder in charge of the watch in the surrounding villages, he

He just breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his heart: "Old man, why do you walk so quietly?"

The old man's face was serious and unsmiling, and he just said lightly: "Young man, you'd better not spend the night here tonight."

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment appeared on the scholar's face. He sighed and explained: "It's a long journey, and I don't have much money left. I can't even afford a hotel."

The old man did not dissuade him too much. He knew that he had seen many stubborn scholars like this.

Moreover, most of the scholars who chose to spend the night in this temple did not encounter any danger.

At most, he was frightened out of his wits and suffered from hysteria for a few days.

Thinking of this, the old man just said lightly:

"The Taoist priest from the neighboring village once said that there is some evil spirit in this temple, so you need to be careful. However, I think it's okay."

The scholar raised his hand impatiently to indicate that he knew.

When the old man saw this, he said no more, just rang the gong once slowly, twice quickly and three times, then turned and left.

"The time has come, everything is safe~"

Listening to the footsteps of the watchman gradually disappearing into the night, the scholar felt sleepiness quietly creeping into his heart.

He gently put the book in his hand back into the bag, then found a more comfortable position.

Resting on the pile of dry straw, prepare to fall asleep.

Just when his consciousness began to dim and he was about to fall asleep,

Suddenly, a crisp and sweet piano sound broke the silence of the night.

"Huh?" The scholar was suddenly startled, and the reminder of the watchman immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he shivered all over.

He muttered to himself: Could it be that... there is really something unclean hidden in this temple?

"But...it's such a beautiful sound." The scholar listened to a few more sounds of the piano and suddenly felt refreshed, forgetting all the things about gods and ghosts.

He seemed to be fascinated by the sound of the piano, and a strong desire to visit emerged in his heart. He stood up and walked out of the temple gate like a ghost.

The scholar's right hand carefully held the dim yellow oil lamp, and his left hand gently covered the fireworks to prevent them from being blown out by the wind.

Under the dim light, he kept looking left and right as he walked, trying to find the source of the piano sound in the vast night.

In this way, he walked about a hundred steps away,

Suddenly, a pavilion suddenly appeared in front of him.

The scholar couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he didn't find a pavilion here when he came.

But at this moment, he could only assume that he had remembered it wrong before, so he continued walking towards the pavilion.

Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly rose and swept over violently.

The fireworks in the scholar's hand were instantly extinguished by the sudden strong wind.

He suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a graceful figure in the pavilion, playing the piano elegantly.

The sound of the piano was melodious, like the sound of nature.

However, a layer of gauze covered the front of the pavilion, hiding the true face of the beauty,

so that although the scholar could see the graceful figure, he could not see her beauty.

The figure playing the piano seemed to have noticed the scholar's arrival, and immediately stopped the action in his hands,

and asked softly: "Who is it?"

The voice was unusually soft, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, melodious and beautiful,

which made the scholar feel relaxed and happy, as if it was numb to the bones.

The scholar calmed down, coughed, cleared his throat, and replied respectfully:

"Miss, I am a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed by here. It is windy and cold here, and it is very easy to catch a cold. If you want to play the piano, why don't you go to the ancient temple in front to avoid the cold?"

After that, the scholar carefully lifted the gauze in front of him.

However, he never expected that what he saw was a fox face with red hair, sharp mouth and sharp teeth.

This sudden change made the scholar terrified, and fear surged like a tide.

He felt dizzy and then lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Behind the red fox, the girl transformed by the white fox slowly stepped into sight.

She sighed softly, revealing a bit of helplessness and regret in her tone: "Why did you fail again?"

"We are not those crude wild monsters who live in the mountains and only know how to eat raw meat and drink blood."

"We are a species from ancient times, descendants of the Qingqiu fox clan, with noble blood flowing in our bodies and carrying a long heritage."

"Nine Lives Heart Evidence, this unique skill emphasizes the foundation of heart power. Only when you can confuse his mind and make him sincere and affectionate to you, can your cultivation be improved."

"Didn't you peek into his inner thoughts just now?"

A trace of confusion flashed in the red fox's eyes, and he whispered: "I did read it..."

"However, what I felt...what he expected seemed to be far from what I thought in my heart, and it was even a little hard to accept."

The red fox's tone revealed some unwillingness and confusion: "So I... …”

“So you added hair, sharp teeth, and long ears!” The white fox couldn’t stand it anymore, so she raised her voice:

“You have to understand that he is a human, not a fox like us.”

After that, she sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness and admonition:

“I have repeatedly told you many times that only by putting aside your own preferences and prejudices and complying with his expectations and wishes can you truly win his heart…”

The red fox nodded, and was a little confused: “But why do we want to win the hearts of people instead of others?”

“Tigers and wolves, can’t we… Obviously they are more stupid.”

The white fox shook his head: “It is precisely because they are stupid that it is useless to get their hearts.”

“Only humans have seven orifices in their hearts and poor perception.”

“As long as we comply with their expectations, it is easy to get their hearts…”

“It is also easier to give birth to the next tail!” (End of this chapter)
