dare not love, already deeply in love

It fell into the mouth in the middle of the air, and it looked like a man. It's no wonder that there are more men than white foxes and less women. Bai Ling is a girl who grew up among men since she was a child. Naturally, she behaves like a man. A style of free and easy.

This kind of Bai Ling is very attractive, even Hu Jiu is deeply fascinated at this moment, looking at her obsessively.

At this time, another person dressed as a maid came to the cave. Hu Jiu took a look at her, then was also a little dazed, and murmured: "Abi?"

Abi is Bai Ling's maid and the one who raised him since childhood.

Abi went straight to Bai Ling and said, "Ma'am, I just found a bead under your bed, look, the red one is pretty pretty."

Hu Jiu looked into the palm of Abi's hand, and saw that it turned out to be a red bead the size of a fingernail. Hu Jiu was startled. Isn't this the one that Hu Rong picked up at that time?Could it be that he gave it to his mother?

Sure enough, Bai Ling took the bead from Abi's hand, and his voice was as crisp as Qingling: "Oh, that's it! It was given to me by the master at the beginning, and I have looked for it everywhere since I lost it, but it has no spiritual power at all." I couldn't find it, I didn't expect to go under the bed!"

"That's right! I also just dropped my things under the bed when I was packing up, and I saw this bead when I went in to look for it." Abi smiled and said, "This bead has no spiritual power. Will it be like a baby?"

"How do I know?" Bai Ling casually put the beads on the table, and then glanced out again.

Suddenly, Bai Ling let out a 'huh', staring at a certain place outside Kusama, turned around and put the remaining peanuts on the table at random, then slowly picked up the bow and arrow placed on the edge of the lounge chair, got up and took a nap. The bow is drawn, the movements are flexible and quick, the eyes are firm and determined, the brows are heroic, and the heroic posture is heroic.

The bow was bent to the full moon, and the arrow left the string, and instantly shot a gray hare among the barley.

"Shot!" Bai Ling danced and jumped up, smiling and narrowing his eyes, as happy as a child. .

Abi also jumped twice happily, "It's a rabbit! How about having roasted rabbit meat tonight?"

"Of course! Abi, your craftsmanship is amazing!" Bai Ling returned and took a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

Hu Jiu had to yell "ah", but she didn't have time to stop it.

Abi also called out, her expression changed, and she asked eagerly, "Miss, what did you eat just now?"

"Huh? Peanuts..." Bai Ling looked at the small table, where a plate of fried and crispy peanuts was quietly placed. On the contrary, the red beads she had just put on the table were gone!

Abi cried out impatiently: "Oh, miss, you ate that bead!"

Bai Ling's eyes were staring like beads, she was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized, she bent down and retched, and she even put her fingers into her mouth, but she had already eaten the beads.

Bai Ling immediately looked like he had eaten Huang Lian, and anxiously grabbed Abi's hand, his little face flushed with anxiety, "What should I do, Abi, what should I do!"

"Miss, don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen..."

"You are not allowed to tell others, and no one is allowed to tell!"

Seeing Bai Ling's funny look, Hu Jiu couldn't help laughing, with tears in his eyes, he never knew that his mother was like this, so beautiful, so innocent, she was originally the oldest white fox of the fox clan Like a young master, light-hearted, wise, and resourceful, there are countless people who have courted him in the three realms.

But why did she want to marry Hu Rong!

Hu Jiu felt sour, and wiped away his tears fiercely, but when he opened his eyes, the cave was still in front of him, but his mother and Abi were gone, and there was pouring rain outside the cave, and the sky was thundering and lightning.

"Mother! Mother!" Hu Jiu anxiously ran to the reclining chair, but Bai Ling had already disappeared.Hu Jiu's tears fell instantly, he finally saw his mother, why didn't he let himself look at her more!Why!

There was a faint shout coming from the depths of the cave, Hu Jiu was startled for a moment, got up and ran over.

A group of people stood outside a room in the cave, and Hu Jiu saw all the familiar faces.Hu Rong, First Mistress, Second Mistress, Hu Jingxuan, Hu Jingting, Hu Jingqian, and Hu Meier, but they don't have their own mother.

The expressions on the faces of these people can be described as wonderful, including anxiety, disdain, indifference, and hatred.

Hu Rong anxiously walked back and forth on the ground, muttering, "Why isn't the baby still alive! It's been three days since the baby was born!"

The eldest lady said with a bitter expression: "Master, don't worry, the third sister is in good health and will be fine."

It turned out to be mother, student?What happened?

Hu Jiu's heart was pounding, was this when his mother gave birth to him?Hu Jiu involuntarily became nervous.

"Where did you find that midwife? Do you have any experience!" Hu Rong couldn't hide the anxiety on his face. "Where is the doctor? Why isn't the doctor here yet?"

The second lady said calmly: "I guess it's raining too much, so we were delayed on the road."

Hu Jiu snorted coldly at Hu Rong, it turned out that he also had times when he was nervous!

The heavy rain outside the mountain kept falling.

At this moment, a sudden thunder seemed to explode in the cave, and everyone including Hu Jiu was startled.

After the thunder, those present at the same time heard terrified shouts from the room.

☆, born

"Ling'er!" Hu Rong yelled and ran over immediately, kicking open the door. At the same time, Hu Jiu passed through everyone's body to see the scene in the room first, and was stunned on the spot.

The room was blood red, and the walls, ceiling, and floor were all covered in shocking bloodstains.

Abi and an elderly lady were all sitting by the wall, covering their ears with blood all over their bodies and screaming.

Hu Jiu saw a firefox with nine tails lying wet on the ground, glowing red all over, with nine big tails dancing behind him, splashing blood everywhere.

With fiery red hair and nine tails, this...is him?

"Linger..."

It was Hu Rong's hoarse murmur that brought Hu Jiu back to his senses, and then he went to look at the bed. The white fox lying on the bed was covered in blood and was dying.

Hu Mei'er yelled, her face turned pale with fright, and she ran straight into Da Furen's arms: "Ah! Monster! Mother is so scary! I'm scared!"

"mother!"

Hu Jiu took one step forward, but he stretched out his hands in the air to hug Bai Ling, but he didn't dare to touch him, so he could only call 'mother' one after another.Bai Ling looked at the front with a pair of weak eyes, Hu Jiu thought she saw her, and excitedly called mother a few more times, but Bai Ling remained indifferent, and then Hu Jiu realized that Bai Ling was looking at her newborn baby child.

The eldest lady hugged Hu Mei'er, and shouted in a terrified tone: "Oh, what a monster, why did it grow nine tails! My sister is a white fox, and my master is a silver fox. How, how did I give birth to a red one? "

Hu Rong was worried about Bai Ling at first, walking back and forth beside Bai Ling, probably like Hu Jiu, wanting to hug him but not daring to hug him, just kept looking at Bai Ling, when he heard the words of the eldest lady, his body suddenly stopped , and then stared fixedly at the nine-tailed firefox that Bai Ling had just given birth to on the ground, his eyes seemed to spew fire.

The eldest lady looked at Hu Rong's face, with a smile in her eyes, but her expression was terrified: "Master, you see, my sister has given birth for three days, and the heavy rain in Qingqiu hasn't stopped in these three days, and there are lightning and thunder from time to time, too. It's scary, it's like God's punishment! I think it's better to kill this monster as soon as possible, so as not to bring disaster to our entire Qingqiu!"

Hu Rong still looked at the nine-tailed Firefox on the ground with the expression of wanting to kill, he gave Bai Ling a hard look, and turned around and left the room with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing that Hu Rong had left, the eldest lady regarded it as having Hu Rong's acquiescence, and immediately called a few maidservants behind her, and ordered: "Come quickly, someone, drag this monster to the chaotic graveyard and burn it to death!"

"I see which of you would dare!" Hu Jiu gritted her teeth at Da Furen and the others, and put on a defensive posture to protect herself on the ground.However, the maidservants who came passed through his body easily, holding back the fear in their hearts and grabbing the little fox's bloody tail.

"Stop! Stop!" Hu Jiu went to push the maidservants, but she fell to the ground. Hu Jiu yelled at them, "Stop, stop!"

"This..." Hu Jingting, who was standing by the side, was about to speak when he was grabbed by the second lady who was next to him with sharp eyes, and then shook his head at him. went.

"Oh, madam, look, the umbilical cord is still connected! It keeps pulling!"

Hu Meier glanced at the lady with a nauseous expression on her face, and cursed: "Oh, you're so stupid, you can't even pull the umbilical cord, why don't you go and cut it with scissors!"

"Don't..." The sound came from Bai Ling on the bed, but the sound was barely audible, and the girls didn't hear it at all. One of them took the scissors on the ground and was about to cut them. Hu Jiu couldn't stop them, so he could only call Ah Bi, but Abi was obviously very frightened, she shrank on the ground trembling all over, with a frightened expression on her face.

The maid cut it hard a few times before letting go, and said strangely: "Ma'am, this umbilical cord can't be cut!"

"You can't keep cutting?" The lady smacked the bloody nose all over her face with her hands disgustingly, and then said: "Since you can't keep cutting, then throw the two of them to the chaotic graveyard and burn them to death."

No matter how Hu Jiu tried to stop her, it was useless. In the end, she could only watch a few burly girls. While pulling up the little fox, she grabbed Bai Ling's blood-stained white hair and walked into the torrential rain.

Hu Jiu witnessed the process of his own birth. Since he can remember, there has never been a moment like this moment, which made him feel that all the blood in his body was burning, and what helped the blood burn was hatred.

He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked back. The eldest lady and Hu Meier looked at each other with tacit ecstasy. Hu Jingqian and Hu Jingxuan stood side by side with a relaxed look in their eyes. The second lady turned indifferently to her room. Walking away, at this moment only Hu Jingting was left looking thoughtfully at the dark and torrential rain.

I will remember you, all of you, don't even try to escape, one day I will let you know what happened to bullying me and my mother, and I will make you pay back ten times and a hundred times for what you have done!Hu Jiu turned her head and rushed into the heavy rain.

The newly born little fox with nine tails and Bai Ling were thrown together by a few maids to the cemetery in the back mountain of Qingqiu, but now it is raining heavily, and there is no fire at all.

The girls glanced at each other, threw the two of them on the ground, then turned and went back, letting the two of them fend for themselves.

Hu Jiu came out with them and knelt beside Bai Ling, crying loudly. He always knew that he was a fox clan alien, and he always knew that his mother had suffered a lot because of him. He never thought that seeing it with his own eyes would be so heartbreaking. , why do you want me to see this?

"why!"

"Miss? Miss?"

Hu Jiu raised her eyes to look at the voice, and it turned out to be Abi.

Abi was exposed to the rain, her whole body was drenched, the blood color on her blue clothes had not been faded by the rain, the skirt on her lower body was covered with muddy water, and her messy hair was draped over her face, she was in a terrible state of distress.

Abi found the two of Bai Ling, and ran over in a hurry. Seeing the two foxes, one big and one small, she was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down next to the white fox, hugged the white fox in her arms, and called out "Miss."

Bai Ling has been married to Hu Rong for a hundred years, but she is still used to being called Miss Bai Ling when there are no outsiders.

How much Hu Jiu wanted to hug his mother like Abi, but he couldn't do it!

Abi was so focused on Bai Ling that she didn't dare to look at the little fox that Bai Ling gave birth to.

Not only did the newly born little fox with its unbroken umbilical cord not look weak, but stood up tremblingly from the ground, shook off the drenched hair, and then arched Bai Ling's body into Abi's arms with his head. Drill in.

Abi was startled, and stretched out her hand to push the little fox to the ground.

The little fox stood up and let out a soft cry. He shook the muddy water on his head vigorously, rubbed his eyes with his paws, and burrowed into Abi's arms again. Abi pushed him away again, and the little fox also Refusing to give up, so many times, Abi finally hugged the little fox into her arms, and burst into tears.

The pouring rain was still falling, and the world was pitch black, except for Abi's desperate cries on the graveyard filled with bones.

Hu Jiu lay on the ground, letting the muddy water splash on his face, the tears in his eyes kept falling like this heavy rain.

I don't know when, the rain stopped, it was dawn, and the sun shone on his face, making his eyes hurt. Hu Jiu jumped up and got up from the ground. This place was no longer a random graveyard, but the yard of Hu Rong's house.

"Today I must kill him, if I don't kill him, you will die!"

Hu Jiu quickly followed the sound and ran over.

In the firewood house behind the cave of the Hu family, the white fox was protecting the nine-tailed fire fox in his embrace with a protective attitude, his eyes were extremely determined, Abi knelt on one side, begging, Hu Rong stood in the middle, with a fierce look on his face, raised his His right hand carries a group of divine power.

He is going to kill himself?no!

Subconsciously, Hu Jiu raised his palm to hit Hu Rong, but he didn't expect that his frightened palm hit Hu Rong in one hit.

Hu Jiu looked at her hand, unable to believe it.

Hu Rong quickly got up from the ground, and looked around in a defensive manner, with vigilance and a trace of panic in his eyes: "Who came out for me! Sneak attack is nothing, if you have the ability, come out for me!"

Hu Jiuchong snorted, and a flash of joy flashed in his heart, this was the first time he hit Hu Rong in his life!

Hatred suddenly appeared in Hu Rong's eyes, he turned around, and a powerful divine power hit Bai Ling.

Hu Jiu couldn't stop her so much that her soul was about to fly away. Mother was already so weak, if this palm really hit her, mother would be alive!In a panic, Hu Jiu could only run over to block Bai Ling with her body, but she didn't expect that Hu Rong's blow actually hit his body.

Hu Jiu gritted her teeth fiercely, resisting the burst of fishy sweetness in her mouth.

Hu Rong couldn't see Hu Jiu, he could only see that his demon power dissipated before touching Bai Ling.Hu Rong's eyes turned red immediately, and he glared at Bai Ling fiercely: "You still say you didn't betray me! Then who is he? Who can protect you like this!"

With tears in Bai Ling's eyes, he shook his head stubbornly.

Hu Rong stared around the small firewood room, pointed at Bai Ling and gritted his teeth: "If you don't come out again, I'll kill them both now!"

Hu Jiu was furious, relying on Hu Rong not being able to see herself, she fought Hu Rong with all her strength.Although Hu Rong's cultivation level is several times higher than that of Hu Jiu, but he was injured one after another without seeing Hu Jiu, and Hu Jiu himself was not much better, the blood in his chest was surging, and the place where he was hit by Hu Rong indiscriminately seemed to be broken It hurts just as much.

Hu Rong finally escaped.

Hu Jiu collapsed on the ground, and Abi ran to hug Bai Ling and the little fox, still looking around worriedly.

Bai Ling shed tears in her arms, and said hoarsely: "I didn't, I really didn't betray him..."

"I know Miss, I know!" Abi let go of Bai Ling, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the surroundings: "I don't know where the gods came from, thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving my life!"

"Mother, don't worry, Xiao Jiu will protect you." Hu Jiu laughed happily, he can finally protect mother!He reached out to stroke Bai Ling's tarnished white hair, but his hands still fell to the ground.

"Why can't you let me hug mother, God, I beg you, let me hug mother." Hu Jiu shouted to the sky in despair, but no one answered him.

Abi turned around and wiped away her tears at Bai Ling, and said, "Miss, what the master said is right, you should give up this child, he doesn't drink milk, and sucks your blood with the umbilical cord every day, look at you How thin you have become now, it's only been two days, if you continue like this, you won't be able to survive!"

Bai Ling shook his head desperately, and hugged the little fox in his arms even tighter with his tail.

Hu Jiu was stunned, it turned out to be like this...

Hu Jiu seemed to have been hit in the head with a blow, and instantly figured out why her mother could no longer transform her form after giving birth to him, and could no longer practice cultivation. Her health was getting worse day by day, and medicine and stones were ineffective. It turned out that it was all because of me!

It's this umbilical cord...

Hu Jiu clenched her fists and stared at herself in Bai Ling's embrace. She trembled because of too much force, until Bai Ling fell asleep, the little fox woke up, jumped out of her embrace, and exposed the umbilical cord .

Hu Jiu punched the umbilical cord connecting Bai Ling and the little fox.

"what!"

Bai Ling woke up instantly, curled up on the ground in pain, roared hoarsely, his whole body was shaking with pain, and his hair was all wet.The little fox was also sent flying by that punch, but because it was attached to the umbilical cord, it fell to the ground instead of flying away. It got up and shook its head with a dazed expression.

Abi looked at Bai Ling in bewilderment, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"As long as I cut off the umbilical cord, my mother will be fine!" Hu Jiu thought so wholeheartedly, but the umbilical cord was so soft and tough that he couldn't cut it off no matter how hard he cut it, on the contrary, every time he smashed it, my mother was in pain With a roar, he rolled on the ground in pain.

What to do in the end what to do!

"Hu Jiu, did you see, this is when you were born."

"Shenjun?" Hu Jiu seemed to be catching at straws: "Shenjun, I beg you, let my mother let my mother go, I beg you!" Hu Jiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"No, it's not that I don't let her go. Nine-tailed Chiyan is an ancient mythical beast. Bai Ling is a mere descendant of a fox demon. How can he be so blessed to give birth to an ancient bloodline? If he didn't die, it is the mercy of the heavens."

"No, no! I want to save my mother, I must save my mother!"

"Hehe, Hu Jiu, this umbilical cord is connected by the thickness of time between ancient times and the present world. No matter how the world changes, the umbilical cord will not be damaged at all, unless..."

Hu Jiu was very anxious: "Unless what?"

"One of them died and the umbilical cord fell off on its own."

"No, no!" Hu Jiu shook her head blankly, and suddenly remembered something and shouted at the sky: "This is an illusion, all this is an illusion! You designed these, you are lying to me, you are lying I!"

"Hehe, this is not an illusion. Think about what you did just now? It's because of your rash action that Hu Rong concluded that your mother betrayed him, so he still refuses to trust her, isn't it?"

Hu Jiu was terrified, it was true, it turned out to be true!The mother is clearly innocent, but Hu Rong insists that the mother betrayed him to give birth to the monster Hu Jiu, and he has never seen his mother for 300 years!

It turned out that it was all because of myself!

"Hujiu, if you want to save your mother, the only way left is to cut off the umbilical cord, and I can remind you that if the umbilical cord is not broken, your mother will be lost at midnight. If you don't believe it, leave from Changbai Mountain at that time." Go back to Qingqiu to see if your mother is still there, then you will know whether what I said is true or not."

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Hu Jiu refused to believe Xu Yan's words, if everything that happened here was true, if cutting the umbilical cord was the only way, then why are he and his mother still alive?

Hu Jiu wants to take a gamble, and at this moment, all this is an illusion, mother will be fine!

Time passed by every minute and every second, night fell, a gloomy wind blew outside, the night sky was pitch black without a single starlight, Hu Jiu sat beside Bai Ling, and watched Bai Ling's body shrunk into a twitch within two hours. With a skeleton covered in fur, his breathing became weaker and weaker, to the point where the ups and downs could hardly be seen with the naked eye. His deeply sunken eyes looked hollow, and his pupils gradually dilated.

Abi hugged Bai Ling, who was as skinny as a stick, and wiped away tears over and over again, looking at the little fox who was licking fur with fear and resentment in her eyes.

The little fox that is licking its fur has shiny red hair and vivid eyes. It has grown rapidly in just two days. From the size of two palms when it was born, it is now as long as an arm. It really is. Is it because of blood essence?

"Hu Jiu, there is still a moment before Zishi, look at your mother, she has only one last breath left to hold on, and when Zishi arrives, she will be dissipated immediately, how to choose..."

"Shut up!" Hu Jiu completely forgot who was talking to him at the moment, shouted loudly, and slashed at the little fox with a hand knife mixed with mana.

The little fox who was licking his fur was quite vigilant, he dodged his head and dodged it, but the hand knife still hit his soft abdomen, and the little fox screamed suddenly.

Abi was taken aback by the little fox, and unexpectedly saw a wound on the little fox's stomach: "What... what's going on? What's going on? Oh, what a crime!"

Hu Jiu felt a pain in his stomach, and when he looked down, blood had already seeped out of his clothes.

"Fox Jiu, this little fox is you, if you kill it, you won't survive!"

"So what if I can't survive, as long as my mother gets better, so what if I die!" Hu Jiuyi's eyes were instantly stained with blood, the tie on her hair was broken, her hair was disheveled, she was dressed in red, her eyes were red like ghosts.

Hu Jiu clenched her fists tightly and hit the little fox with all her strength.

This blow was almost all of Hu Jiu's mana. The little fox fell to the ground and rolled in pain, with blood gushing from his mouth and nose.The same is true for Hu Jiu, spitting out a big mouthful of blood, kneeling on the ground slumped, without even the strength to move.

Abi was so anxious that she was about to cry, and turned around on the ground, crying as she walked.

The little fox was so terrified by Hu Jiu's beating that he got up and wanted to run, but was connected by the umbilical cord. Several times he was brought to the ground, and Bai Ling's body was also dragged from the hay to the ground by him.

Hu Jiu's eyes were distracted, and he raised his heavy hand to gather the little mana remaining in his body into the palm of his hand, it was almost time...

The little fox was hit by the magic power behind him again, and he screamed in pain, and ran out desperately, struggling with the tough umbilical cord, Abi hugged Bai Ling's skeleton body and cried loudly: "I beg you to let go!" Please pass the lady! I beg you! Stop torturing the lady! I beg you... Oh God, someone help the lady!"

The little fox roared and tugged at the umbilical cord connecting his stomach, but he couldn't break free no matter what. Finally, with red eyes, he turned around and bit the umbilical cord.

child time has come...

Hu Jiu looked at the dying Bai Ling, and closed her eyes in despair.

☆, Heyuan Village

Sudden.

"It's broken! It's broken! It's broken!" Abi cried.

Hu Jiu turned around abruptly, only to see that the umbilical cord that he kept cutting no matter what, was really broken!

The little fox broke free from the shackles of the umbilical cord, and ran out of the woodshed as if fleeing for his life.

Hu Jiu watched Bai Ling's chest gradually rise and fall, and Yang Tianchang laughed.

It turns out that the key to the so-called illusion lies in himself. Whether it is him who broke through the level or the him who was only three days old at the time, the source of all the reasons is him.

"Congratulations on passing the first level." Out of thin air, a familiar voice rang in his ear.

The scene of ice and snow returned to Hu Jiu's eyes again. Countless exclamations came from behind him. He turned his head and saw an empty gazebo between him and the passer-by he had just seen.

"I came out?" Hu Jiu looked at her hands in disbelief. The applause and shouts behind her were as unreal as if they were coming from beyond the sky, but the scene in the illusion was real.

Thinking of something, Hu Jiu suddenly tore open the skirt of her jacket, and suddenly saw a deep scar on her abdomen, one inch to the left of the navel, with a palm length.

Hu Jiu laughed immediately, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, so it turned out that all of this was true!It turned out that this scar was left by himself!No wonder this scar has been there since he didn't remember anything, that's how it is, that's how it is!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Across a gazebo, the people who had been cheering for the first person to break through the barrier in more than a hundred thousand years gradually stopped, and looked at every move of Hu Jiu with puzzled faces. After a long time, someone asked : "Is this person crazy?"

Hu Jiu's appearance of crying and laughing, as if he had been greatly stimulated, was really confusing.

Hu Jiu learned from the group of people that it was exactly half an hour when he entered, but he felt that it had been a long, long time, even though the scenes in the illusion flashed before his eyes like a flying horse, but everything was still there. It's not true, all this is not an illusion, he just went back to the past, saved his mother in the past, and saved himself now.

If in the illusion, he really killed himself when he was a child, is it because he is no longer there now? Also, if the little fox hadn't bit off the umbilical cord at that time, would mother have died at that time? If that's the case , then everything is different now.

He suddenly wondered if all this was predestined, he was destined to come to Changbai Peak to take this journey?

Thinking of this, Hu Jiu involuntarily looked towards the sky, then knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the Changbai Peak and kowtowed slowly: "Thank you, God Lord."

At this time, on the Sunset Pavilion above the Feiluan Palace, Xu Yan looked at the fiery red clouds at the end of the sky and smiled slightly.

Hu Jiu didn't stop and continued to march towards the second checkpoint with the number of five or nine.And when he was walking, he realized that the stone steps under his feet were different from the rough and frozen stone steps he had walked for two hundred kilometers before.

He brushed away the snow on the stone steps with his hands, and saw that the stone steps under the snow were actually paved with smooth stones. The stones were crystal clear, round and smooth like precious stones, but the stone steps paved with these things looked beautiful. , but to Hu Jiu it was like torture.

So when he arrived at the second gazebo, Hu Jiu's legs, which had just recovered from taking a short break during the first pass, were basically unconscious again after kneeling all the way, and he finally climbed into the illusion of the gazebo.

"Hu Jiu, I can't tell, you are quite determined." Xu Yan's voice came to mind in a dark space.

Hu Jiu lay on the ground and said weakly, "As long as I can, save my mother, I can do anything."

"In this case, I wish you good luck for the second level."

Hu Jiu was so tired that he couldn't speak, the darkness in front of him dissipated little by little, revealing the light, but when Hu Jiu closed his eyes, he passed out completely.

Hu Jiu didn't know how long she had slept before waking up, she opened her eyes in a daze, and was instantly taken aback.

At this moment, there are many people around him, men, women, old people and children, wearing shabby clothes, with rags tied on their heads, all looking at him with wolf-like bright eyes, Hu Jiu stared helplessly at a The skinny old lady was drooling watching him.

Hu Jiu's scalp was numb, and she jumped up all of a sudden, looking at these people cautiously: "Who are you?"

One of them, a relatively normal-looking man in his 50s, waved to Hu Jiu and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are all good people."

Hu Jiu frowned and looked at these people carefully, and found that these people were indeed mortals without magic power.But even that still couldn't make him relax.

The man said again: "We found you at the entrance of the village, you fainted, so we brought you back, our place is called Heyuan Village, I am the village head of Heyuan Village, you can call me Fang San'er. "

Hu Jiu relaxed his vigilance a little, no matter how powerful these mortals are, they can't hurt him! "Thank you, everyone, next time Fox Nine."

"It turned out to be Uncle Hu."

Fox Nine: ...

At this time, a woman came in from the outside. She held a tray in her hand, on which were several side dishes and some fresh fruits. She first glanced at Hu Jiu with a look very similar to the people here. Then he put the food on the table, stood in the crowd, and looked at Hu Jiu again with burning eyes.

Fang San'er saw that Hu Jiu's whole body was full of doubts and resistance, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Hu has been sleeping for several days and is hungry, we specially made some small dishes for Uncle Hu, the village is remote, full of simple food, And please, Uncle Hu, don’t hold him back."

"No, no, I'd better go first."

Fang San'er immediately said: "Uncle Hu may not know that our Heyuan Village is located in a remote place, and it is more troublesome to go out of the village. Let's invite Uncle Hu to eat first, or that Uncle Hu dislikes our simple food."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it," Hu Jiu suddenly thought that this place is an illusion, maybe the barrier he wants to break is in this Heyuan Village, the True God Xu Yan will not send him to this place for no reason and then let him go away, besides... …He rubbed his stomach, and he was really hungry.

"Then Hu Jiu is impolite." Hu Jiu greeted Fang San'er and the others, and then sat down facing everyone's creepy and bright eyes.

No one in the room left, they all surrounded Hu Jiu.

As soon as Hu Jiu picked up the chopsticks and was about to put them down, she heard a child next to him make an obvious swallowing sound. As soon as Hu Jiu looked up, the child hid in the arms of a woman as if embarrassed, but Hu Jiu found Everyone was looking at him, their eyes were bright, they swallowed or licked their lips frequently, as if they had been hungry for ten days and a half months.

Hu Jiushou paused, and said to everyone: "I can't eat so many dishes you have cooked for me, why don't you all sit down and eat together?"

Those people shook their heads together and said: "No need, no need, you eat what you eat."

Hu Jiu was inexplicably uneasy, he looked at the crowd carefully: "You really don't want to eat?"

Those people still shook their heads and refused, but they still couldn't hide the drooling expressions on their faces.

Hu Jiu swallowed involuntarily, and tentatively picked up a piece of chicken.

"Gululu..." A loud stomach growl came from beside him.Hu Jiu shook his hands, and the chicken fell on the table. He raised his head suddenly, and his scalp felt numb for a moment.

Only then did he realize that those people were not looking at the food on the table at all, but him!What they want to eat is not food, but him!

Hu Jiu jumped up and jumped to the window farthest from this group of people. Here, even if those people really wanted to do something to him, Hu Jiu could still jump out of the window and escape.

After all, he is a fox demon, and he was forced to jump out of the window by a group of people, what a pity!

"What the hell are you going to do! What is this place, and who are you? Tell me!"

Fang San'er eagerly explained: "Master Hu, don't be afraid, we are all human! We are really human!"

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want to eat me?"

Hu Jiu didn't expect Fang San'er to cry at this moment.

"Uncle Hu, we are suffering! Do you know where we are? We are indeed called Heyuan Village. It is located on the border between Feng and Liang. It is isolated from the world and lives a self-sufficient life. Suddenly one day, the villagers A seriously injured soldier was rescued from the river. After we healed the soldier, the soldier bought us some food with the money on his body and then left Heyuan Village. But half a month later, the village suddenly came He said that it was because we sold grain to the people of Liang that led to the destruction of Feng. The entire Heyuan Village has been cursed, so that the villagers of our entire Heyuan Village will not grow old and die, suffer from hunger every day, and cannot eat. Do you know that we have lived for more than 3000 years! We can’t walk if we want to, and we can’t die if we want to die! "

After Fang San'er finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into tears.

Hu Jiu put down her hand slowly, completely shocked, how could there be such a curse in this world? For more than 3000 years, is this true or false?In fact, after going through the first test, Hu Jiu couldn't believe the truth of this illusion, but...

"You are mortals with mortal bodies. You haven't died after starving for 3000 years. Who are you lying to?"

Fang San'er knelt down to Hu Jiu with a thud, and cried tearfully: "It's true, what I said is true, I dare not lie a little bit, if we can die, we people would have died long ago, why bother to linger on?" For 3000 years, I have endured bone-piercing suffering day and night.”

A sallow and thin little girl timidly said to Hu Jiu: "Brother, what the village chief said is true. I am already 42 years old this year. I have already forgotten what the food tastes like. I am so hungry." .”

Hu Jiu felt sympathetic: "Don't you guys have a way to break the curse?"

"Yes, there is, but no one is willing to help us! Otherwise, we wouldn't be hungry for 3000 years!"

"What is the method, tell me maybe I can help you."

Fang San'er immediately looked at Hu Jiu with bright eyes: "Really? Are you willing to help us?" The others also looked at Hu Jiu expectantly.

Hu Jiu stared at the group of people with almost wolf-like eyes, and said bravely: "You talk first."

"Meat, unless someone voluntarily lets us eat his meat, the curse can be broken."

"Are you kidding me!" Hu Jiu scolded angrily, opened the window and jumped out.

What the hell is this place!Heyuan Village?Shit!This place must be an illusion, I want to go out, I need to find an exit to leave here.

Heyuan Village sounds more like a paradise isolated from the world, rich in products, self-sufficient, and the people enjoy themselves.However, what Hu Jiu saw was only yellow sand all over the place. The house he walked out of was the only intact house in the whole village. The other houses were all dilapidated, without windows, doors, or roofs. Only the frame of a house remains.

The sandy ground outside is full of people sleeping anywhere. They are sallow and emaciated, as thin as a stick, but they are still alive, and they can't even die.

The sudden appearance of Hu Jiu made all those people gather around, looking at him with bright eyes full of expectation, it seemed that Hu Jiu's appearance made them feel hopeful.

Looking at the pair of eyes full of expectation, Hu Jiu couldn't control the urge in his heart to push away the crowd and ran out, but he found that he had been running for a long time, but he was still in Heyuan Village.

Hu Jiu was a little mad: "Shen Jun! Shen Jun? Are you there? I have something to say!"

"You say so."

Hu Jiu rested her hands on her knees and panted, "Is what that person said just now true?"

"Of course it's true. This Heyuan Village is the only place where there are still living people in the Eight Desolation. Outsiders can come in, but they can't get out, and they can't die. They suffer from hunger day and night. They have food, but they can't eat it. No matter how much food is eaten by them, it will turn into nothingness. The curse will not be solved, and the souls of the [-] soldiers of the Feng Kingdom will not be relieved, and they will torture the villagers here every night."

"So, the method they said to break the curse is also true?"

"nature."

Hu Jiu smiled coldly: "Let a person be eaten voluntarily, God, is this your mercy?"

Xu Yan didn't speak immediately, and smiled after a while: "Hu Jiu, who told you that I, Xu Yan, have a compassionate heart?"

Hu Jiu stood up angrily and said to the sky: "But you are the ancient true god! Is there anything that the ancient true god can't do? You can even change history. How can a mere curse be broken by just a word from you?" !"

"Hu Jiu, where did you hear these bullshit rumors? There are times when even a true god in this world can't do anything. Besides, I don't want to bear such a heavy resentment for a hundred thousand innocent souls."

"So you let me bear it?"

"Hu Jiu, you have wrongly blamed me for this. I didn't tell you to bear the burden. As long as you give up, you will get out of here immediately."

"
