Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 35
Su Ji rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and saw the portraits of the Master Tongtian and his four disciples hanging on the four gray walls, and a plaque in the center with the words "Ruyuzhai" written on it.

Mo Shu's erratic voice echoed: "This is the old man's study..."

Su Ji couldn't help looking up, only to feel that the voice came from the distant sky, as if a hundred people were speaking in all directions at the same time.

"The owner of the pavilion is currently in the state of Qinglingsleep. In the past, there were foxes in Qingqiu, and their nature was empathetic and compassionate. In the Shang Dynasty, hunters often killed one as bait for its fur. When passing foxes saw the corpses of their own clan, they would guard them and cry out. People hunt and kill, but don't escape. A red fox survived the Tao, and gathered the spirits of the same clan in the Qingling Sleeping Realm, so that it would be free from the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation."

Su Ji glanced around and found a fox lying on a bookshelf at some point, it was the silver fox that he saw yesterday.Its eyes are slightly closed, a tail rests on the wooden frame, and its silvery soft fur glistens in the sunlight.

Mo Shu said: "Has the pavilion master ever seen a silver fox? That's the old man's blood deed, Jinlan."

Su Ji muttered disdainfully: "Jin Lan is a righteous brother, what kind of blood contract do you want?"

Before the words were finished, the silver fox suddenly pricked up its ears, and its closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting a cold blue light, which made people shudder.

Su Ji thought his voice was very low, but he didn't expect it to hear it. He saw the silver fox kicked up its front legs, bent its hind legs, and was ready to attack.The sharp cold air from the fox body floated to Su Ji's side, causing him to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

At this time, the Hongjun bell on Su Ji's waist suddenly lit up and made a crisp sound!
When the silver fox heard the ringing of the bell, it quickly hid behind the bookshelf, revealing only a silver tail like a tongue of fire, swaying uncomfortably.

Su Ji held up the bell and smiled jokingly.The silver fox poked out one head and looked at him, its two fox ears drooped, and its whole body trembled, as if Hongjunling was a firecracker that was about to explode.

This scene happened in a very short time, and Mo Shu didn't seem to see it, but said to himself:
"Blood deed Jinlan is the first step of the nightmare technique. There are many Qingqiu fox spirits whose bodies have perished outside this room. The chief of the pavilion tried to invite a docile one to come to the world to help you perform the spell. It is dangerous and unpredictable. Although the old man It was a fluke, but an arm was lost."

Su Ji suddenly thought of Mo Shu's wooden arm, and couldn't help looking at the silver fox.Mo Shu's arm must have been bitten off by his long-tailed Jinlan brother.Although he knew that Jinlan, the blood contract, would have to pay the price in blood, but this did not shake his determination, because he did not want to run away again.He had already vowed secretly in his heart that the last time would be the last time he would run away in his life.At the Double Ninth Banquet on the ninth day of next month, he will use his strength to protect those around him.

Mo Shu went on to say: "The world in the eyes of domestic animals is only black and white, only the Qingqiu fox can distinguish one more color..."

Su Ji looked left and right, and saw three or five rows of bookshelves on each side, on which were not books, but hats.Hundreds of hats of different sizes and styles, the only thing they have in common is their color - all green hats!

He looked at these green hats, then at the plaque on the hall, and suddenly realized.It turns out that the word "Ruyu" in Ruyuzhai is not the "Ruyu" who has her own face in the book, but the "Ruyu" who keeps her body like jade!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad for Mo Shu, and secretly felt that Li Rumei was a woman who would never refuse anyone, only when she married such a "not picky eater" wife would there be so many cuckolds.

Mo Shu said: "Qingqiu fox likes green the most. Wearing the hat here will make you more confident. This is the only thing I can help you with. After the pavilion master walks out of this room, I won't hear the old man's voice." , and then it depends on the creation of the pavilion master."

Su Ji saluted out of thin air and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your kindness."

Thank you, thank you, he didn't do what Mo Shu said, he just stuck out his tongue in disgust at those green hats, and strode out.

He pushed open the door of Ruyuzhai, the sunlight outside was so bright that he couldn't keep his eyes open.He turned his head and saw that Ruyuzhai had disappeared, replaced by a beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The scent of fresh grass and trees floated in the air, which was so refreshing that he couldn't help taking a few more breaths.

When he walked to the water's edge, mist shrouded the blue waves.Wooden boats of all sizes were moored along the coast, but no one was seen, which made him feel a little strange.

On the other side of the river, large and small buildings can be vaguely seen, which seem to be inhabited.He jumped into the boat alone and rowed to the other side.Looking from a distance, the stone tablet on the opposite bank is engraved with the words "Zuihaowan".Seeing the large and small restaurants along the coast, Su Ji was overjoyed, and the paddling speed increased tenfold in an instant!
However, after the boat docked, he still saw no one.Until now, he hasn't even seen half a person, not even a fox, which is really weird.

He searched along the restaurants along the shore, and caught a faint noise in his ears. Following the sound, he quickened his pace and found that the sound came from a restaurant, and there seemed to be many people talking inside.

On the signboard of the restaurant, the words "Xiao Hualou" are written crookedly, like three dead ants at first glance. Even children who have studied for a few days can write much better than that.

Although the words on the plaque are ugly, the front of the restaurant is very big.This small slippery building is not only not small, but it is the largest restaurant in the vicinity, with four floors.

Just as Su Ji was about to step in with one foot, he heard a voice suddenly coming from behind:
"Wait a minute!"

The flat voice was slightly familiar.Su Ji felt a hand on his shoulder, and when he looked back, a white-haired young man was standing behind him, holding a beautiful bag in his hand.

"Don't want to get into trouble, just put your bell in this bag."

The white-haired young man said, and handed over the bag.Su Ji didn't take the bag, but just looked at the white-haired young man up and down, and the more he looked, the more familiar he became. It turned out to be Hu Jiuye whom he met in Fengqi Tower that day.

"Have we met somewhere?" Su Ji asked tentatively.

Hu Jiuye showed a mysterious smile and said, "You mean in Ruyuzhai just now?"

Su Ji hesitated for a moment, recalling that there was no one in Ruyuzhai just now, only a silver fox.Thinking of this, he suddenly had a bold guess, and he couldn't help opening his eyes slightly.Hu Jiuye observed the change of his expression, smiled and said:

"Looks like you've guessed it."

Su Ji suddenly realized that the white-haired Hu Jiuye was the silver fox, and at the same time understood his intentions.If he swaggered in with a Hongjun bell tied, he would scare away the fox inside, and the nightmare technique would be in vain.

After Hongjun Ling was stuffed into the bag, no matter how much she shook it, she couldn't make a sound.However, Hu Jiu still turned his face away, without even looking at it, as if he still had lingering fears.

Su Ji put the kit in his arms and said, "I heard that your name is Hu Jiuye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jiuye quickly glanced into the restaurant, and said in a low voice:
"This place must not be called 'Hu Jiuye', only I can be called 'Fox Jiu'."

"Why?" Su Ji asked suspiciously.

"Because my cultivation ranks ninth in the clan, and there are probably elders who are ahead of me."

"You even have gray hair, and you still have elders? I want to see!"

"Don't worry! There is one more important thing to remind you..."

Before Hu Jiu finished speaking, Su Ji had already stepped on the threshold.
