"Who are you?"
The white fox has nimble steps, jumping among the foxes, appearing on the left for a while, and then jumping to the right for a while, making no sound.
"Before asking others about their origins, it is common sense to tell them your identity first, right?" Yin Xiu said.
"I'm not a human being."
The white fox laughed twice, and finally replied: "I am the Lord Taibai, commanding the Taibai Mountains and suppressing thousands of living creatures."
Taibai, another name for Changbai Mountain, is just rare.
"Tell me, who are you guys?" Bai Hu asked again.
"Two Taoist priests." Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu said in unison.
"An Orion." Hai Dongqing replied.
"Orion? Ha!"
The white fox seemed to be more interested in Hai Dongqing, or more concerned. It walked up to Hai Dongqing and looked at him with its eyes.
"I smell a lot of blood on you, all from beasts, and even my own kind. Why, you don't take us immortals seriously?"
Hai Dongqing had been in the mountains for a long time, and this was the first time he saw a talking fox. However, he didn't have the slightest worry or fear. He just said calmly: "Are you afraid that there is a Dragon King in the water, so you won't catch fish and eat them?" ?”
"Oh, interesting, interesting!"
Not sure whether he was amused or angry, the white fox trembled three times, and then looked at Yin Xiu again.
"This place has not been visited for decades. It is not easy for you to find it. How can you find it with such a puppy?"
The white fox moved closer to the black dog, and the black dog immediately barked again, forcing it to take a few steps back.
"Ah, you uncivilized beast."
As it spoke, it looked at Yin Xiu and said, "We have no grievances. Why do you keep chasing me? Once last night and again today. If you don't find it annoying, I will."
"I didn't mean it."
Yin Xiu pointed to the village at the foot of the mountain, "I have to ask them to help me walk a long way, but you have made everything here so chaotic. These people don't even dare to close their eyes at night, let alone go out. .
I have no choice but to come and talk to you. ”
"Talk?"
Bai Hu sneered, "Are we familiar? What's your seniority? You just want to talk to me? Don't talk about you, even your master is not qualified. He must be the leader of your sect."
"The leader of our sect?"
Yin Xiu grinned, "I'm afraid that if I invite him out, the whole Changbai Mountain will catch a cold, let alone you."
"Oh?"
The white fox shook his tail, "Anyone else dares to challenge me, Lord Taibai?"
At this time, Ma Xiaoyu finally couldn't help it anymore and said seriously: "You are a spirit in the mountains. If you dare to pretend to claim the authority of a mountain god, aren't you afraid that Lord Taibai will come to you after smelling it?"
"Oh?"
Bai Hu didn't think it was strange, "I said this name can scare those who don't know how to do it, but it can't scare two serious Taoist priests."
"Since you already know, how dare you pretend to admit it?"
"Is it important?" Bai Hu said calmly.
In fact, every famous mountain and river has its own dedicated god, just like every famous river has a Dragon King.
These beings are either called the Qinling Divine Lord, the Taihang Divine Lord, or the "Taibai Divine Lord" in front of them, and they all control the power of a mountain.
Either canonized by the imperial court, or recognized by one side of the world, these creatures may have been monsters before, or they may be wandering souls without owners. The moment they became divine kings, they acquired divinity and godhead.
As long as they sit in the mountain, the mountain will generally tend to be stable and have an existing order.
As long as outsiders enter the mountain, they will be suppressed by them and watch. Even the legendary gods who reach the sky will not trespass into the forest where a god is seated.
Without worrying about why it pretended to be a god, Yin Xiu just asked: "Since you are not a god, then there is no so-called distinction between us. How about we talk about it now?"
"No!" Bai Hu turned his head stubbornly.
"You are so unreasonable and a bit funny." Yin Xiu frowned.
"It's funny? I don't know if it's funny to you or to me. I'm a beast, and you actually want to reason with a beast."
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it did make sense, so he asked helplessly: "Then what do you want? Are the people in this village enemies with you?"
"What a huge hatred! And it's not with me, but with our clan!"
When it said this, all the foxes suddenly became excited and howled, making strange sounds that made people panic.
This burst of shouting finally attracted Liu Banxian and the villagers who were lagging behind.
When they saw this group of foxes, which were not much smaller than dogs, Wei Dahong and others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and their hearts were beating wildly. It was obvious that they had never seen so many foxes.
"Master, what is this?" Wei Dahong asked bravely.
"Don't talk yet."
Liu Banxian stepped forward, asked Yin Xiu about the situation, and opened his fan with a snap.
"Fellow friends, I am Liu Banxian." He cupped his hands and said.
"It doesn't matter whether you are a half-immortal or a god, it doesn't matter." Bai Hu said.
"This fox has quite a temper, isn't he?" Liu Banxian looked at Yin Xiu.
"So I said, if it doesn't work, just do it." Ma Xiaoyu was ready.
The white fox also felt the aura of several people who were ready to go, but when it saw Wei Dahong in the crowd, its attention was attracted again.
"Hey, that rough guy, do you still recognize me?"
Wei Dahong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when it called him like that. It wasn't until he confirmed again and again that the fox was calling him that he nodded blankly, then shook his head, "No, no impression."
"No impression?"
Bai Hu raised his eyelids and said, "In the summer, your nephew peeked at our married daughter, but he still hasn't come out to apologize and admit his mistake. Originally, I just asked the tribe to throw a few dead mice and dead chickens into your house as a warning.
I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant of praise and pretend not to know. Since you don’t know, I have no choice but to do it myself! ”
Wei Dahong was still confused. He whispered to the villagers behind him and checked carefully before suddenly realizing it.
"What an injustice! At that time, all the young people in our village were drafted to build the reservoir, and only a few old people and children stayed in the village. As for my nephew, he fell into the water and drowned in the summer!
They can all testify! ”
Wei Dahong pointed at the people around him. Wherever the villagers dared to lie, they all nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice.
"That's it."
Yin Xiu nodded, "It's really not good for someone to catch a fox marrying his daughter. When my good brother married his bride, he specially sent many younger brothers to take care of her."
"Your brother?"
Bai Hu asked suspiciously: "Who is your brother?"
"It's easy to talk." Yin Xiu straightened his collar, "Master Huang San of Huangfengdong."
"Master Huang San? Is he the one who lives on Hong Kong Island?" Bai Hu asked again.
"Exactly, and I am not talented, Huangfeng Cave ranks sixth."
"Well, Mr. Huang Liu?"
Bai Hu opened his mouth wide and said, "Mr. Huang is marrying Mrs. Hu from Qingqiu. They are cousins to us, so we are called uncles. We are cousins with Mr. Hu, and you and Mr. Huang are brothers. And Mr. Huang San has married Mrs. Hu again. After all, our relationship..."
"Relatives! Immovable relatives!"
Liu Banxian clapped his fingers and said, "As for you, you are Hu Erniang's cousin, and Mr. Huang San is also your cousin-in-law. Brother Yin is the brother of Mr. Huang, ranking sixth.
According to the custom there, he and Er Niang are called uncle and sister-in-law, and according to the custom there, the woman calls the man according to the child's name, so let me do the math, three three is three, six six If you get six, you have to call Brother Yin uncle. ”
"Ah!?"
The white fox was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved clockwise three times, and finally murmured: "It seems to be true."
"In that case."
Yin Xiu coughed twice, "We are uncles and nephews, that is, members of our own family. Killing our own people has nothing to do with it. Is there anything that cannot be discussed on the stage?"
The white fox's eyes rotated counterclockwise three more times, "It seems to be true."
“It doesn’t seem like it, it’s true!”
Liu Banxian opened the fan with a snap, "I have always been the most fair person. Let me be fair. Little fox, you did something wrong!"
"Ah!?"
Bai Hu opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it for a long time, "But I didn't do anything. I just ran to their village in the middle of the night to scare them. I didn't do anything excessive."
Yin Xiu took another look at the white fox and was convinced that the little fox had not yet become a human being, and could not even be called a fox demon.
At the moment, it only has intelligence and can cast some blinding spells. It really can't do any more advanced spells.
"But people in the village say that chickens and ducks have been lost recently, and even the big buffalo raised at home has died. Is this none of your business?" Yin Xiu asked doubtfully.
"It's really none of our business, Uncle Six!"
The white fox became anxious, "It's okay to play pranks and scare people in the middle of the night. For the matter of sneaking around, I'm a fox fairy no matter what, and I can't do such low-priced things."
"You are not a fox fairy now."
Yin Xiu glanced at it and said, "What do you mean, you are just playing a prank at the moment?"
"Of course."
The white fox shook its tail, "Originally, I just wanted to scare these villagers."
"This is not good either."
Yin Xiu sighed, "You said they were fine, but what if you scared them out? Everyone has to sleep at night, but you scared them so much that they couldn't sleep, and half the village was playing with you. Hide and seek, is this a bit too much?”
"I understand, Uncle Six."
The white fox's ears drooped, he walked to Wei Dahong and looked at him again.
This sight startled Wei Dahong and the villagers again. The white fox turned to look at Yin Xiu again, "But, Uncle Six, is this true?"
"Why do you talk so much? If you come out to fool around, you have to stand at attention when you are beaten. And now they don't dare to beat you.
Now you have some face, and the misunderstanding has been clarified.
If you really make them anxious, you will set fire to the mountain and you won't even have a piece of fur left! ”
"Okay."
The white fox sighed, then turned back to Wei Dahong and said: "Uncle, I am responsible for the pranks these days. Since the person is dead, let's forget about it. We will not harass you anymore."
"Then, what other instructions do you have, Great Immortal?" Wei Dahong rubbed his hands.
"No, there are no instructions."
The white fox shook his tail, "I just made peace with you. We will go our separate ways from now on, and we will not offend each other."
"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal!" Wei Dahong nodded repeatedly.
Bai Hu ignored them and just looked at Yin Xiu, "Uncle Six, how about this?"
"Very good, you come out to play, you can stretch and bend." Yin Xiu gave a thumbs up.
Ma Xiaoyu on the side also gave a rare smile and said: "Of course it would be best if the matter can be solved, but don't pretend to be Taibai Shenjun in the future."
"Okay, Aunt Six."
"Huh?"
Ma Xiaoyu twisted her snow-white neck and looked at Yin Xiu, "Did you teach me this?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands and said, "It's none of my business."
Wei Dahong, who was already feeling relaxed, couldn't help but feel that the temperature around him had cooled down, and he rubbed the goosebumps on his hands.
"Then since the matter has been settled, we will not disturb you immortals. Let's go back to the village first. After two days, we will prepare all the melon and fruit sacrifices. Looking for a good day, we will repair the Marshal Gale Temple. Fan, what do you think?”
"It doesn't matter."
White Fox yawned, "We don't force this kind of thing, but if you are willing to offer incense, we will do our best to keep your home safe."
"Well, that's best."
Yin Xiu quickly changed the topic, "Everyone has a level, no need to fight."
"Then let's say goodbye first and let's chat."
Wei Dahong was obviously very satisfied and left with a group of people satisfied.
When the matter seemed to have been resolved, Liu Banxian frowned and thought: "If according to the little fox, you didn't do anything bad, then who killed those chickens and ducks? It can't be Is it the villagers themselves? ”
Hearing what Liu Banxian said, Yin Xiu also started to think, and then looked at the confused white fox on one side, "Have you encountered any weird things when you were walking at night recently?"
"Weird things?"
The little white fox shook his head, "It seems not. If there is, I will definitely find it."
Liu Banxian added: "According to the dark atmosphere I saw in the village before, I think it is not from the little foxes, but another evil one."
"Another evil spirit?"
The hair on the white fox's body exploded, "Is it possible that the Big Red Snake's men are here?"
Big red snake?
As soon as the name was mentioned, the foxes behind the white fox immediately let out bursts of frightened screams, and the originally ferocious foxes all curled up their tails.
"The big red snake is a monster?"
"That's right, and it's not an ordinary monster."
The white fox said in a serious tone, "The monsters in the mountains say that it was the big red snake that killed the Lord Taibai." (End of Chapter)
