Chapter 526: The Origin of Place Names (Second Update)
"Park the car here, let's just walk around the town of Huling, although there is nothing to see here, but after a day of driving, I really don't want to stay in the car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Jiang Xiaobai said.
"That's what I mean, you drove for a day, and I sat for a day. Su Yufei had already opened the car door and got out of the car.
The cold wind gusted outside the car, and the sand and dust rolled in the face. Su Yufei took out a mask from his bag and put it on.
"Do you need it?"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
The two of them walked down the street and chatted about some light topics. Arriving in this strange and remote town made them feel relaxed and relaxed. No one knows them here, and Su Yufei can take this as a vacation to relax and unwind. She is so busy that it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a lot of opportunities, and it is rare to find time to take care of work.
When they walked to the center of the town, they saw a small square. Music was playing in the small square, and twenty or thirty aunts were dancing there.
"Let's go and have a look. ā
When they got there, they saw a stone tablet.
"Mr. Su, the name of each place has a origin, I was still thinking about why this place is called Fox Ridge, but I didn't expect to find the answer here. ā
The stele in front of them was inscribed with words, which recorded the origin of the name of the place.
It turned out that during the Song Dynasty, a nine-tailed demon fox appeared on a small hill located west of the town. The nine-tailed demon fox turned into a human form and went down the mountain to seduce the son of the local wealthy Zhu Yuanwai's family. The little boy is seventeen years old, and he was originally a nerd who only knew how to read, and his biggest ideal was the title of the gold list, and the lintel of the glory.
The ancestral graveyard of the Zhu Yuanwai family is at the bottom of the small hill, and on the Qingming Festival when the little boy was seventeen years old, he followed the old servant of the family to ride a small donkey to worship the ancestors. After worshipping the ancestors, the little boy saw the beautiful scenery on the mountain, so he went up the mountain to travel.
When I was halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell. The little boy was attracted by the laughter and followed the sound to find it. I saw a woman naked and playing in the cold pool.
I saw that the woman's skin was better than snow, her hair was as black as ink, and her face was even more insulting to the sable cicada Sai Xi Shi, and she had an indescribable style.
The little boy was fascinated at the time, and he didn't think that this was a monster.
It's also strange that this small company is stupid, as long as he is a little vigilant, he can find that there are no people in this cold pool at all!
During the Qingming Festival, it was the day of early April, when it was warm and cold, and some people had not even taken off their padded jackets. The water of the cold pool is even colder than ordinary water, if it were a human being, how could they frolic in the cold pool, and they would have frozen to death.
The little boy didn't think much about it and quietly approached. The nine-tailed demon fox in the cold pool was just to attract him over, but after seeing him, he immediately covered his chest, and his face was red with shame.
The little boy hurriedly said that he had no intention of violating and immediately turned around. The nine-tailed demon fox went ashore and put on his clothes, and immediately forgave the little boy. The two chatted on the edge of the cold pool. The nine-tailed demon fox said that she was a woman from the Orion family on the mountain, and the little boy did not suspect anything.
The nine-tailed demon fox asked the address of the little boy's house and agreed to go to him at night. The little boy went down the mountain full of joy, and immediately gathered the servants to go home. When I got home, I looked forward to the sun going down and the moon rising early.
finally stayed up until the night, only to see a black cloud drift over Zhu Yuanwai's house and fall in the courtyard. The black qi surged, and the beautiful woman transformed into the nine-tailed demon fox appeared, and Lianbu came to the door of the little boy, and gently buckled the door three times.
The little boy had been waiting in the house for a long time, and when he heard the signal, he immediately opened the door and welcomed the fox demon into the house. There was a table of wine and food in the house, and the fox demon saw the roast chicken and goose and roast duck, and immediately swallowed his saliva.
The little boy and the fox demon drank under the candle, the fox demon swept the clouds, and soon ate a table of delicious food, and then went to the couch with the little boy, lingering until the rooster crowed before leaving Zhu Yuanwai's house.
For several days in a row, this fox demon came and left at night while it was dark. This little boy was sucked dry by her, and where can he still read during the day. As soon as the day came, he would lie in bed and fall asleep, recuperating enough to mingle with the fox demon at night.
Zhu Yuanwai saw that his children were getting thinner, and thought he was sick, so he invited Dr. Langzhong, but he was all blasted out by the little boy.
Later, one night, when the fox demon landed outside the little boy's door again, he was seen by the housekeeper's eight-year-old son. The housekeeper's son got up at night to pee, and saw a black wind fall in the courtyard of Childe Ye, and looked at it, and found that the black wind had turned into a woman, and he knew that there was a fairy in the house.
The little one hurried back to tell his father, but was unexpectedly discovered by the goblin. The nine-tailed demon fox actually swallowed him alive, and only spit out a piece of bones.
The old housekeeper found his son's bones the next morning, and he was very sad and angry. He reported to Zhu Yuanwai that there was a goblin in the house. Zhu Yuanwai then invited a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple hundreds of miles away to subdue the demon.
When the Taoist priest came to Zhu Yuanwai's house, he smelled the fox's commotion and bluntly said that the fox demon had entered the house. Zhu Yuanwai remembered the recent abnormality of the little son, and realized that it was the fox demon who harmed his son.
When night fell and the fox demon reappeared, the Taoist priest collected the demon and cut off one of the tails of the nine-tailed demon fox. The nine-tailed demon fox was wounded and fled. The Taoist priest rushed to the fox demon's lair alone, but was attacked by ten thousand foxes.
Later, the Taoist priest had to ask the master to live, and the master came out of the nest and came to Fox Ridge to eliminate the demon. This is the beginning of the battle between man and fox. Both sides showed their own magical powers, and after fighting for half a month, in the end, all the fox demons were exterminated.
Later, this place became Fox Mountain, and the mountain to the west of the town became Fox Mountain.
After reading the inscription, Jiang Xiaobai and Su Yufei understood the origin of the name of this fox ridge.
"This is all made up by the ancients, how can there be any demons and immortals in this world. Su Yufei said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Don't believe it, maybe there really is." ā
Su Yufei looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise, "Do you still believe in ghosts and gods?"
Jiang Xiaobai had to believe it, he had seen the blood ape and the half-headed python with his own eyes, which could be called a half-demon existence.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere else. Jiang Xiaobai said.
As soon as the two of them were about to leave the small square, they saw more than a dozen people walking from all around. Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it, the four thugs they met in the hotel tonight were also among them, and it seemed that they were being followed.
"Is that the girl?"
The leader was a bald head, with a very fierce appearance, and a large gold chain around his neck. (To be continued.) )
