A cool night breeze blew.

The eight-tailed white fox appeared silently outside the door of the Taoist temple and squatted beside Gu Ju.

In addition to the white fox, several figures of different shapes appeared nearby at the same time.

Among them is the shopkeeper of the restaurant that Gu Juan has been to several times, a slightly chubby man who always has a gentle smile on his face.

"It turns out that the core of the entire cage is here, which is really beyond our expectations. ”

The eight-tailed white fox let out a low sigh, his gaze fell on the return in the door, and continued, "I haven't seen each other for many years, and it turns out that this is the second prisoner we have never seen. ”

"Will it work?"

The restaurant shopkeeper said coldly.

"I don't know. The eight-tailed white fox shook his head, and the eight tails behind him also swayed from side to side, "It's a surprise to succeed, but even if we don't, we just lose our clarity again, and we just lose everything in the muddy." ”

A woman's voice came from the shadows not far away, "But I still prefer to watch myself die in my wakefulness rather than that situation." ”

"What Qizhang said is good, if it is done, we will at least know who we are, where we came from, and how we got there. ”

"It's just a pity that a wisp of the remnant soul of the Holy Maiden of Luojia has just been chopped into a deep sleep by this little brother's axe, and I can't witness this moment with us. ”

"I think that the Holy Maiden of Luojia is not only not a pity, but even better than us, perhaps it seems better than the anxiety and anxiety of waiting here, and the passive acceptance that does not want to think about it seems to be better. ”

"Black Mountain-kun, do you know, what is the name of that one?" The white fox looked left and right, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and he handed over all the power to speak.

Gu Juan retracted his gaze from all directions, gathered his thoughts and said slowly, "He seems to be the return of Ye Luo, but he is not the return of Ye Luo. ”

"The Return of the Karma ......"

The eight-tailed white fox repeated silently, and suddenly bit down on his back without warning.

Blood splattered, and a long tail fell to the ground.

A painful expression flashed in its eyes, and it lowered its head and picked up the tail and sent it to Gu Ju's feet.

Gu Juan raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, "What are you going to do...... Before anything has started, are you going to cut off your tail to survive?"

"You asked me before for a bone to feed my belly, and I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that I couldn't hold a bone, and it was better to have a tail than to be more sincere. ”

"Can this thing be eaten?" Gu Juan took a deep breath, savoring the smell of blood rippling in the void.

The white fox showed a smile and said, "When you are really hungry, you can even eat, let alone a tail with flesh and bones?"

Gu Juan was silent for a moment, picked up the thick white tail that could be used as a scarf, coiled it in his hand and rubbed it slowly, "What do you mean, or do you want me to really kill you?"

"If the one inside is done, there is no need, if not, it is indeed necessary to bother the Black Mountain Jun to try it with me, whether it can really send me into the Yellow Spring. ”

"What if neither I nor the one inside can do it?"

"That is, my own life is not good, and I can't blame others. ”

"Good. Gu Juan nodded and agreed, but threw the long tail back, "Help me pluck the hair on it, it's really hard to swallow." ”

The white fox took over his tail with complicated eyes, and really began to bow his head and pluck his hair carefully.

Next, an unexpected situation appeared.

In just one or two breaths, all kinds of bloody things suddenly appeared in front of him, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of blood.

"I have the feeling of a hundred family banquets. ”

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "Okay, killing one is also killing, killing a group is still killing, I promise you." ”

The return seems to be unaware of the situation behind him, and he doesn't see or hear it, of course, it is more likely that although he knows what is happening later, he doesn't care about it, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

After staying in the door for a while, he walked step by step to the empty offering table, carefully cleaned up his clothes, and bowed three times and nine times.

Next, he slowly got up, stared at the empty incense burner, and said in a calm tone.

"Too much time has passed, so far that even with the power of the Holy Venerable, he can't return to heaven even if he tries his best to build this cage, and in the end he can only end up shrinking up and lingering, such a miserable and helpless situation. ”

"No, it seems that we should not be used to describe the situation we are facing now, strictly speaking, we are not even surviving, in fact, we should lose ourselves a little bit, and eventually we will be erased from everything, assimilated by this cage, and then assimilated by the outside world together with the cage. ”

"So that the Holy Venerable may know that I have just heard a sentence from the mouth of the little fellow who may be a junior, which is called just seeking peace of mind, so in the current irreparable situation, if I slowly sink like this, not only will I not be at ease, but even the Holy Venerable himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to have peace of mind. ”

"So if you lose, you lose, and you don't need to deceive yourself. ”

At this point, he was silent, and finally glanced back at Gu Juan and slowly pulled out the long sword in his sheath.

A brilliant light rose into the sky, and in an instant, the night sky of the entire town was illuminated.

The stars and the moon are dim, and the lights and candles are dull.

Everything inside and outside the town completely lost its protective color under this light, revealing the strange scene of mottling below.

Gu Juan closed his eyes tightly, but he still felt that there was a dazzling white in the upper and lower directions, front, back, left and right.

There is no room for anything else.

................................................

Out of the land of the Great Wei Gyeonggi, and then four hundred miles to the north.

It has approached the edge of the territory of the Great Wei in the traditional sense.

Looking at the northern city, it was originally the original Great Wei Taizu unified the Central Plains, the army of the commander was stationed here, and the nomadic army of the northern grassland across the river, in the end no one took advantage of anyone, only their respective retreats.

The matter can be traced back to the war between the princes of the Central Plains, when the iron cavalry of the northern steppe took this opportunity to move south, and before the unification of the Wei State, they destroyed the feudal forces occupying the north, broke through the traditional dividing line, and went deep into the interior of the Central Plains.

Not only did it occupy a large area of rich and fertile land, but it was also like a sickle, directly across the neck side of the Great Wei Capital, and there was a danger of falling down at any time.

After a series of bloody battles and all victories, the Great Wei soldiers and horses were in full swing, and it was not inappropriate to describe them as arrogant soldiers, and the Great Wei Taizu, who had just established the country and became the emperor, also cast a cold eye on the powerful and unified grassland in the north.

Therefore, there are three Northern Expeditions, and the story of the bloody battle of Wangbeicheng.

It was not until Wei Taizong succeeded to the throne that the Wei army detoured from west to east from the desert north and defeated the army of the grassland royal court, which shook the foundation of nomadic rule on the other side of the river boundary of Wangbei City in the east.

With the passage of time, especially as the Wei Dynasty and the royal court gradually entered into a situation of mutual confrontation and mutual exchange, the West Desert North and the East Wangbei became the two most famous trade routes connecting the Central Plains and the North.

Every day, countless caravans of chariots and horses stayed here, and after replenishing supplies, they set out on the journey again with full of goods, so in just a few decades, Wangbei City, the original military town fortress, expanded again and again, and developed into a famous thoroughfare town in the north.

Dozens of miles to the west of Wangbei City is a beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers, and the wealthy families in the city will take this place into their hands and build a mountain manor forest as a good place for summer recreation.

However, these mountain manor forests have long since fallen into decay.

Not only that, since the beginning of the Strange News incident, until the heavy snow does not fall, the entire Wangbei City has been full of hungry people, crumbling, except for the most powerful few big families can still stand, and the others are desperate to survive at most, not to mention the spiritual enjoyment of coveting food and clothing.

When the snowstorm just revealed the power of not going to the stack, there were also many farmers living in remote countryside who ate up the surplus food at home, and fled towards Wangbei City with their families, but with the passage of time, the number of people gathered in the city increased sharply, but it made the Wangbei City Guard and the Wang clan in the city instinctively feel uneasy.

If it was good in previous years, everyone tightened their belts and waited for next year's harvest, although it was difficult, but there was finally a hope, especially the famous families with big families, they could take this opportunity to eat more land and population, and the strength was further unknown.

But this year's wind and snow of this momentum made all the sober-minded family owners numb and cold in their hearts, and their thoughts went from the initial pursuit of profit, to the later seeking stability, and then soon to the point of survival.

They quickly reached a consensus that although Wangbei City, as a former military town, was later a north-south thoroughfare, and the granary was still sufficient, the victims could no longer enter the city, and even drove out all the victims who had already entered the city while the people's hearts were not in turmoil.

After all, hungry people gather and it is difficult to resettle, and a bad one may lead to riots.

After several large families discussed with the city guard, they threw the mountain manor forest in the west of the city to the victims to live casually, and then steamed a pot of old grain porridge soup with sand for them every day to relieve the disaster and hang their lives, regardless of whether they would freeze to death or starve to death, as long as they could be stabilized and not chaotic, it was already the result of burning high incense.

This kind of day lasted for more than a month, and more and more people gathered in the villa in the east of the city, until late that night, when the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the golden light poured down, and all the noise suddenly fell quiet......

It wasn't until the dark clouds reunited on the second day that the wind and snow were still there, and the soldiers who went to the mountain villa to transport grain suddenly found that none of the people who were waiting for soup soup had come out.

After walking a little further inward, they were even more horrified to find that the interior of the mountain villas was as silent as death, and there was a strange gray mist everywhere, and the longer they stayed, the more eerie they felt, as if they were in the underworld.

A group of government soldiers fled without looking back, but within two days, they all died tragically, and everyone was reduced to ashes, which brought a new round of panic.

Therefore, the gardens and villas, pavilions and pavilions in the east of the city were all handed back to the wild beasts of the mountains and forests, and perhaps there were supernatural things and demonic things in and out of them, but no one dared to explore them, and as for the victims who were once placed in them, no one would mention them, as if they did not exist from beginning to end, and completely disappeared in everyone's memory.
