Legend has it that foxes are both adept at changing and digging holes.

Right now, the fox's body was in the dirt wall, and only one paw was exposed, which was really embarrassing.

Cheng Xinghe slapped on the paw: "Run, run, run, why don't you run?" ”

The claw trembled instantly, but because of the spirit talisman, it couldn't be retracted, and it couldn't be extended, and suddenly a voice came from the earthen wall: "I'm hungry...... I want to eat ......."

Cheng Xinghe glared: "When is it, still talking about eating!" ”

That's why I'm really a fellow believer with you.

But its voice, with fear and sadness, sounded very bleak - not at all literal.

If you think about it, it ate a lot of food, but it really didn't hurt anyone.

When I looked down, I saw a scar on the claw, and the fur was curling and bleeding.

It must have been the one that was cut by the Seven Star Dragon Spring before.

I pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the white herb.

The white herb understood and touched the wound.

The paw suddenly stiffened, obviously painful, but the white herb was quickly medicated and bandaged, and the paw should not be painful, but inexplicable, and still repeated the sentence: "I'm hungry, I want to eat......"

The tone was a little scary and a little unexpected.

Cheng Xinghe bumped me on the shoulder and said, "It seems to only say this sentence." ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "We just want to ask, why did you cut those human skulls?" For us humans, that's an enmity. ”

The voice trembled for a long time, but still repeated: "I'm hungry...... I want to eat ......."

This tone, on the contrary, is trying to explain something.

I thought about it, and reached out to wipe the cinnabar talisman off.

Cheng Xinghe saw it and immediately grabbed my hand: "You are crazy, it took so much effort to catch ......"

But he was a little slower, and the cinnabar on his paws had been wiped off by me, and in a moment, the claws quickly retracted into the hole and disappeared.

Cheng Xinghe jumped to his feet angrily and was about to scold me, but I replied: "If you believe me, it won't run." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for ??, behind the earth wall to crawl out.

This thing is more than a meter long, with brown fur, and it is indeed a big fox.

And the big fox stood up abruptly, stretched out two forelimbs, and began to "greet us" - just like what we had just seen at the mouth of the earthen cave.

Cheng Xinghe couldn't help but take a step back, thinking that it was going to make trouble, but I told him not to be afraid - this is a gesture of gratitude.

I was thanking the white herb for healing the injury, although I had cut it that time.

Then I looked at the big fox's face.

According to the "Qi Scale", once you reach the second rank of the Xuan Rank, you can see the face of a spiritual thing.

Sure enough, when I looked at the qi, I could see that the animal's face was similar to the human face, and I could also see the hidden qi in it.

Only after this look did I know what its purpose was—there was even a faint light of merit on this fox seal hall.

No wonder it has to wear a human skull to deform!

Legend has it that foxes can transform into human form if they eat people's essence, so there are often charming legends of fox spirits - they just want to eat people's essence to replenish their form.

However, although eating people's essence is effective, it can only become essence, and it is not good to become an immortal - this detracts from merit.

And this fox seems to have never eaten the essence of a person, so this can have merit light.

A fox that has not eaten the essence of a human cannot become a human, so it can only transform into a human skull.

Bai Huoxiang became interested: "So, this is still a good fox?" ”

Cheng Xinghe replied: "I don't think so, a good fox doesn't cultivate immortals at home, what are you doing when you come out to dig bones and scare people?" ”

I took a closer look, and the fox's Fude Palace carried the yin aura of a dead man, so I squatted down and asked, "Are you owing a favor to someone?" ”

Sure enough, the fox, though unable to speak the others, understood human speech, stood up sharply, nodded desperately, and then, on all fours, motioned for us to follow.

It took us to a lonely grave in a back mountain.

But as soon as he got there, Cheng Xinghe immediately frowned: "Did you hear anything?" ”

Bai Huoxiang didn't hear it at all, and I didn't dare to condense my breath in my ears because of the spirit fixing needle, so I asked him to say it directly.

Cheng Xinghe pointed to the cemetery and said, "This is ...... There was a screaming voice. ”

When I got closer to the lonely tomb, I saw that there was a very complex talisman engraved on this lonely grave - this is not the same as our Han talisman seal, it should be left by the local witch Zhu, looking at the shape, it seems to be used to suppress evil things.

It was then that I suddenly felt a chill on the surface of the shop—a feeling all too familiar, as if a dead man had come to me.

Cheng Xinghe dragged me back like a chick, and whispered, "There is an old lady...... , the face is the same as a walnut, I can't tell how old I am......"

Can't tell how old you are?

I reacted immediately, could it be...... That legendary old man who stole longevity?

I'll ask Cheng Xinghe to ask what's going on.

Cheng Xinghe muttered nonsense for a long time, and sighed: "It's really embarrassing for this fox......"

It turned out that the old man was just an ordinary old man at the beginning.

It snowed that winter, and the fox couldn't stand it because he was hungry, so he wanted to try his luck at someone's house, and happened to run into the bacon hanging in the old man's house.

The fox jumped around, trying to bite off the bacon, but couldn't.

At this time, the old man heard the movement and came out.

This scared the fox half to death - normally, if the fox was seen by the mountain people, it would be caught.

The fox turned around and tried to run, but it was too hungry to run, and just as it was about to be captured, it suddenly smelled the bacon.

When I looked up, it turned out that the old man took out the bacon and fed it to eat.

The fox was saved, and the heartfelt thanks to the old man.

The old man also became acquainted with the fox, because there was no one to accompany him, so he always whispered to the fox, she said that her age was approaching, but she didn't want to die yet.

Didn't live long enough.

The fox remembered, and on the contrary, managed to get her a way to live forever - stealing longevity.

At this moment, the old man took the life span of his family and became an old man.

But then we knew about it, the East Window incident happened, and after the old man died, he was sealed here by the local witch Zhu, and he couldn't enter reincarnation - lest she ask her to harm others again.

What's more, the rest of the old people who have lived past eighty years can't continue to live because of her legend, and this place has the custom of starving the old man to death.

All these aggravated the sins of that old man, so she was sealed here, and she was tortured by God's curse all the time, and the more old people starved to death, the deeper her sins became, and she was miserable all day long.

Only then did the fox know that he had caused a big disaster, and wanted to make up for this mistake, but it never ate human spirit, so its ability was limited, and it didn't have the ability at all.

But recently, it has achieved success in cultivation and obtained this ability to incarnate, and it has begun to enter the village with a human skull incarnation - it is thinking that it will fulfill the long-cherished wishes of those dead people, accumulate merits, and make up for the sins committed by the benefactor.

And the long-cherished wish of those starving old people is to eat a full meal.

So, it took the skulls of the starving old people and went back to eat their food—so those people saw their long-dead parents go home.

Cheng Xinghe looked at me: "Do you have any way?" ”

In fact, at the moment, it seems that the only way to free the soul of this old man is to abolish the bad habit of starving old people in the village.

It's easy to do - we are Mr. Wen, and we are clever tongues, which are originally housekeeping skills.

So I looked at the fox and said it's up to us—you won't have to steal the skull again, and if you can, I'll have to ask you for a favor."

The fox stood up at once and looked at me urgently, as if to ask me what I was doing.

When I told it, it nodded and ran.

I took Cheng Xinghe and them back to the village.

When the people in the village saw that we had gone back, one of them was excited, and asked us repeatedly, what was going on?

I'll tell them that these things are caused by the starvation of the old man, and the old man is unwilling to die, so of course he will come to you to settle accounts.

Now the villagers were very frightened, looked at each other, lamented their bad luck, and scolded those old people for not being sensible - when they were young, they also starved their elderly parents to death, how did they come to their own place, but they wanted to find trouble.

I hurriedly said. But I've already agreed that as long as this bad habit is abolished, the matter will be settled - they will never come back to scare you.

When the people in the village heard this, they were skeptical: "Then what if in the future, there is an old man who sucks Yang Shouke?" ”

I replied, "It's up to you to choose - is it terrible to be a once-in-a-century old man, or is it terrible to be approached by your dead parents every day?" ”

The people in the village stopped squeaking.

But there are still people who are not at ease: "Empty mouth and white teeth, why do we believe you outsiders?" ”

I replied, "If you don't believe me, go back to the cemetery—I've already agreed to let them go back." ”

When these people heard this, they hurriedly rushed to the cemetery, looked into the bombed tomb, and then glared - only to see that in the tomb, the skulls of their parents had returned properly.

At this moment, no one was unconvinced, so they believed my words.

Bai Huoxiang saw it: "This is what you asked that fox to help?" ”

That's right...... It is gouged out, and only it knows how to put it.

Cheng Xinghe looked at the lonely grave again: "Then you say, what should I do with that old man?" ”

Killing so many people can be said to be a great sin, even if the fox wants to accumulate merit for her, it is the same as Jingwei reclamation.

However, who knows, Yugong can move mountains, maybe it can really help the old man to atone for his sins and change the old man for freedom in his lifetime.

Cheng Xinghe shook his head: "This bacon is really not worth eating." ”

At this time, Herb Bai poked me and whispered, "Look over there." ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw the big fox hiding by a big rock, avoiding the sight of the villagers, beckoning us to pass.

Cheng Xinghe became excited: ", Qixing, it will definitely repay us!" Let's take a walk, go over and see what good things it has for us! ”
