Chapter 64 63. Thorny Fox (4.2K words - please subscribe)
A few days later.
In the autumn rain, the white mist all over the mountains and fields suddenly appeared and died, became thicker and lighter, lingering on the mountains and rivers For a moment, he seemed like a lonely ghost who was in a panic and didn't know where he was going.
Song Yan held a dark black umbrella and looked down at the tombstones in front of him.
Engraved on the stele are the names of the disciples who attacked the Puppet Sect and died in battle.
At that time, the four guys suddenly returned and the war was forced to end. But even if there was a temporary truce, Nanwu Jianmen did not dare to stay longer in the enemy's hinterland, so the bodies of many disciples were cremated nearby and buried.

Pap tap
The rainwater fell on the umbrella, splashed and bounced, fell on the stone monument, and flowed freely.
Song Yan held an umbrella and glanced quickly at the inscription on the tombstone. From time to time, he stepped on his sword and flew to the next place with a tombstone to continue searching.
He wanted to find a "boss" who had "no evidence to the death", and then insisted that it was a "single line of contact."
Once you admit a lie, you have to complete the lie.
No amount of preparation is too much for this.
He will never truly trust anyone again.
Shizuoweng still seemed to care about him, so he did not take him to the ghost cultivation land to suffer, but left him at Shadow Puppet Peak.
But things in this world are never an either/or choice.
A first-level Xuanxuan monk with inheritance but low qualifications. When facing the behemoth of the sect, his only choice is to hand over his "mantle".
If he were on the right path, the sect would probably continue to train this little monk.
But in the Demon Sect, "having a jade in your possession to prevent leakage is a crime" is enough to lead to death. The best thing is to "save your life, stay in a small dark room, practice your skills hard, and serve the sect."
Of course the stone man knows this.
Assuming that his life is still short, his choice will be as written in the letter: don't come back, practice outside, and pass on the mantle.
But the Stone Seat Weng did not.
He didn't even make any preparation for Song Yan and made the choice for him.
The sect leader would suspect that "Song Yan killed Gu Rufeng." Didn't a man as old as Shi Zuoweng think about this possibility at all?
Of course.
He thought about it.
But he didn’t ask at all, but just did it.
One thought is good and the other is evil. When good thoughts and evil thoughts are entangled together, the benevolent will always see benevolence and the wise will see wisdom.
But if you are not a person in the situation, how can you know the harm? How can we tell the difference?
Crack.
Song Yan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a tombstone.
The tombstone is located on a lonely cliff, overlooking the mountains and green rain, the scenery is very beautiful.
It is not easy for someone to erect a tombstone on a high place while the corpses are being collected hastily.
And the words engraved on the tombstone are far more exquisite than elsewhere.
Hengshu: Prosperity from generation to generation, soul returns to hometown.
Vertical engraving: Tomb of Su Gong Changyi, Jianmen, South Wu.
There are actually many names of people related to "Su Changyi" written on the side.
And one of them is "Seventh Sister, Su Yao".
Su Yao?
Qiyao?
Qi Yao?
That’s it
Song Yan stared at it for a long time, then suddenly moved his hand and took out a bouquet of white flowers that had been prepared from the storage space. Then he looked at the name of the person he had met for the first time in his life. He sighed and said in a complicated tone: "Sir, I'm here to see you."
Then, he bowed and tremblingly placed the white flowers in front of the tombstone.
Because he didn’t know whether Su Changyi drank or not, he didn’t buy any drinks.
After laying the flowers, he continued to look at the tombstone sadly and murmured: "Now that evil is in power and is invading our human race, Yan Wei has to put aside his obsession with good and evil in order to join forces and fight against foreign humiliation. No wonder.”
He said this, but he understood deeply in his heart: A specious name cannot mean anything. If he wants to confirm his identity as the Nanwu Jianmen, he must know the secrets of the Nanwu Jianmen. Swordsmanship.
Fu family.
This big family in the mortal world is intertwined in the Three Kingdoms. It takes both black and white. It also has some respect in the casual cultivator world. Although it is not as good as the Puppet Sect and the Xuanxuan Sect that dominates the Xuanmai like the Nanwu Jianmen. , but it is definitely a powerful force that can be ranked among the top in the Three Kingdoms.
His family has been in business for hundreds of years, and its scope of influence has long been not limited to Wei. There are also many clansmen in Wu, Shu, and even the Jianmen of Southern Wu.
Because of this relationship, the Fu family and Nanwu Jianmen almost wore the same pants, so Su Yao felt more cordial when she met the Wei royal family.
Fu Shirong, as the former general’s wife and now the queen, her hasty return really shocked many people in the clan, and they all said something like, “Empress, haven’t you been in the palace the whole time?” words.
Fu Shirong then explained the situation in the imperial capital.
The older generation of the Fu family were all stunned.
They always thought that "the second prince really died in an internal fight, but the general accepted the order in the face of danger, decisively ascended the throne, restrained Grandma Fox, and stabilized the situation of the court, which was also an act of bearing humiliation and responsibility."
Unexpectedly, the truth is completely opposite!
A middle-aged man with vigorous eyebrows and taut muscles said: "Thank you, I'm lucky that you are back, Master Rong, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
This is Fu Master Rong's third uncle—— Fu Baoniu is also a rare master among the practitioners of the Fu family. He has now reached the seventh level of mystical training. At this time, he looks scared.
Shirong Fu's expression changed and he said, "Third uncle, has Cao Zhengjing given you a stumbling block?"
Third uncle Fu Baoniu said, "We thought King Wei would endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, so Invited all the heroes in the world, and then asked King Wei to act as an internal agent in the imperial capital, creating an opportunity for us to assassinate Grandma Fox
Although Grandma Fox is a demon in the Jiang Palace realm, she has been giving birth to children for many years and has become weak early on. Otherwise, she would not be so cunning that people would not know where she is hiding in the imperial capital.
As long as the King of Wei is willing to help, we can get close to it. When the time comes, with everyone working together, we can complete our work in one battle and kill the culprit who is causing harm to the human race.
But if King Wei openly helps, but secretly becomes Grandma Fox’s dog, then our group will be in trouble.
It’s nothing if the body dies and the spirit disappears.
Anyway, your uncle and I have no intention of breaking through to the Jianggong realm.
It is enough to be able to do something without regrets in these few hundred years of life.
But I am afraid that people will die and things will not be done.
But, Shirong, do you think it is possible that King Wei did this to win the trust of Grandma Hu? "
Fu Shirong shook his head coldly and said, "You didn't see his ecstatic state after killing the second prince. If you had seen him, you wouldn't think so." "
Fu Baoniu sighed: "I know people, but I don't know their hearts. It seems that we have to think about it in the long term."
Fu Shirong's expression changed and he said: "No need. He wants to lure you into a trap and catch them all. Then why not let us use his plan. I will return to the imperial capital and pretend to tell the secret."
"Is this possible? "An old man with a white beard who was quite senior in the Fu family next to him asked, leaning on his stick.
Fu Shirong said bitterly: "After I escaped from the palace, I was captured by the Puppet Sect and taken into the mountain gate by accident. I was also captured by a Demon Sect disciple and used as a furnace. So my character Make a big change and realize that strength is Everything, I plan to work with him to create a divine dynasty with powerful protection."
The Queen held her neck high and spoke openly about being used as a furnace, with a rather serious look on her face. A bit like death.
Everyone in the Fu family was silent for a while.
After a long time, the old man in the clan sighed: "That's really hard on you."
After saying this, they thought of the person who returned with the Queen. It was an ordinary man with a scar on his face.
They all knew that if Fu Shirong was captured and taken to the Puppet Sect, she would not be able to escape by herself.
It seems that it was that person who rescued the queen.
Fu Shirong seemed to feel something and said directly: "His name is Hua Rong. He is from Tianyun City in Xishu. He has a complicated experience, but thanks to him, I was able to escape back."
"Xishu Tianyun "Cheng, Huarong?" An old man murmured, "This is easy to handle. Your second grandfather was recruited to assassinate Grandma Hu and is on his way back. With him is Nan Wu Jian. Master of the sect. It is said that Nanwu Jianmen has connected many forces in various places and left communication stones. Tianyun City happens to be one of them when the time comes. "
Fu Shirong Diandian. He nodded, then hesitated for a moment, turned around and went back to discuss with Hua Rong, and then explained his origin and experience clearly to the elder Fu.
Two days later.
“Hua Rong! Do you have any news about him?”
The frosty and uncrowned queen of Tianyun City actually sounded a little excited. She listened to the voices on the other side of the communication stone and responded to them one by one.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Abnormal?" Hua Linglong thought for a while; He passed the name "Taiyi" and said, "No. He is just an amazingly talented warrior."
After another conversation, Hua Linglong put down the communication stone and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great to hear from that man again.
However, she had spent time with that man, and she could sense an unspeakable mystery from him.
No evidence, pure intuition.
However, she was not a "little woman looking for a husband", and besides, the man never admitted that he was her husband.
Then everyone is busy with their own affairs.
The next day
The sound of the carriage wheels turning slowly settled down.
The old chariot driver raised his sleepy eyes, pulled the reins, and stopped the carriage in front of Fu Mansion.
The man in the car was dressed in a white robe and dismounted from his horse.
There were many people waiting in front of Fu Mansion.
When they saw the visitors, they all saluted and shouted, "Mr. Su San is here to greet you. Some of them are far away to welcome you, and some are far away to welcome you."
The man in white robe said with a smile: "I came here just last month, and now I am here again, don't you find it annoying for Su?"
Everyone also laughed.
These two people were surprisingly Zhao Sansi and Wang Siwu who had gone to Tianyun City to hunt down the "remnants of the Puppet Sect" before.
As for their true identities, one is Su Shenli, the third eldest son of the Su family in the "Southern Wu Sword Sect".
One is the leader of the Southern Wu Dynasty - Wang Shuangdao.
The two of them came to participate in the "assassination of Grandma Fox".
At this time, the two of them entered Fu Mansion and went straight to a certain place without sitting down. When they reached a courtyard, they stopped and looked into the courtyard.
I saw a man sitting in front of the stone table in a daze.
As if he felt someone coming, the man suddenly raised his head and faced the two people outside the door.
The eyes intertwined, and there was a distinction in silence.
Wang Shuangdao smiled and cupped his hands: "We said goodbye to Tianyun. I never thought we would meet here again. My pseudonym is Wang Siwu, and my real name is Wang Shuangdao."
Song Yan stood up immediately, He returned the gift with a wry smile and cupped his hands.
Su Canli's eyes were as bright as lightning, he held a mysterious spell in his hand, took a step forward, and waved his long sleeves. The wave was not violent, but the cool air, like the returning wind and dancing snow, immediately rushed toward Song Yan. .
The mysterious energy passed by, making Song Yan's appearance slightly dazed, with a slightly blurred black outline vaguely revealed, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Wang Shuangdao hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Brother Hua Rong, don't be nervous. I'll wait until you follow suit. Now, Mr. Su San is just giving it a try, don't be nervous."
Su Shen Li looked at Song Yan and said solemnly: "I really don't know whether your opportunity is a blessing or a curse.
I don't even have the purification skills of the Sword Sect. It can break through your illusion, but it can only appear slightly abnormal. Your illusion is really powerful. It seems that this is really the body of the multi-tailed fox demon."
Song Yan swayed. Revealing the appearance of a deformed fox demon from the "Giant View", he then smiled wryly and mocked himself: "Mr. Su San, where does this blessing come from?"
"This"
Wang Shuangdao was immediately shocked and took two steps back with a thud.
What the hell is this horrible thing? ! !
This is the corpse of a giant fox that has been soaked in water for a long time! !
But he quickly calmed down and bowed his hands in shame.
Su Canli walked around Song Yan and said with emotion: "It's so strange and wonderful. Brother Hua Rong has this opportunity that is really rare in the world.
Martial arts, traveling around the world, fighting against foxes The demon was seriously injured and entered the Puppet Sect. He escaped from the back mountain by mistake. After his death, he merged with the corpse of the fox demon in the evil place and became a ghost cultivator
It’s just.”
Suddenly, Su Shenli’s eyes were like lightning, staring at Song Yan with cold light, and asked word by word: “But you are a martial artist? How can people have the confidence to fight a fox demon? Then kill a fox demon and then escape with serious injuries?"
The air was tense for a moment.
Song Yanqi said: "Didn't you go and check?"
Su Canli asked: "What do you mean?"
Song Yan said: "If you really went to Tianyun City to check my followers, Feet, I should know from the owner of Hua. I actually have a status as a casual cultivator, and I hid my true identity back then.
This can also be verified at the Snake Corpse Market. I once bought a bottle of it from a fellow Taoist named Dan Lazi. The Breakthrough Forging Zang Pill”
Su Shenli:
Wang Shuangdao:.
Song Yan:.
He was a little speechless. It seemed that the little girl Hua Linglong was really affectionate and had taken it upon herself to help him hide something.
But if he is not a monk and his soul is not strong, how can he have the slightest chance to become a ghost cultivator in the evil place?
Su Canli coughed twice in embarrassment, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Hua Rong will wait here for a while. I will come back in two days."
Song Yandao: "It should be like this."
Two days later.
Su Shenli came back awkwardly.
This time, he investigated clearly, and with Fu Shirong's guarantee, his view of Hua Rong changed drastically.
Song Yan took the opportunity to say: "Originally, casual cultivators only knew some small spells such as air arrows, but now that they have changed into the body of this ghost fox demon, they have more of the fox demon's instinctive illusion skills and Agile, but still evil after all.
I have long admired Nanwu Jianmen. Now that I have become a ghost cultivator and have the opportunity to meet Mr. Su San, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to join Nanwu Jianmen and learn the swordsmanship? "
Su Canli was stunned and suddenly asked: "Can you go for this operation? "
Fu Shirong told him about "Assassinating Grandma Fox".
Song Yan nodded.
Su Canli clapped his hands, his eyes He said brightly: "What a man! In this case, why should our Nanwu Jianmen cherish magic? However, the day of stabbing the fox is approaching, please wait until I consult the master before I teach you a powerful instant sword technique. ”
Song Yan bowed deeply and said: "Thank you!"
