dare not love, already deeply in love

His cultivation.

almost!almost!

Hu Jiu's nose was bleeding first, and then the corners of his mouth were also bleeding. Suddenly, he knelt down on the ground.

"Fox Jiu." Yan Yang called him worriedly.

Hu Jiu didn't answer, he used his knees as a support to rub his way towards Tianchi bit by bit as if he was on the Panyun steps.

One step away!

Hu Jiu already felt that the mouth, tongue, nose and cavity were full of blood, her breathing was accompanied by severe pain in the chest cavity, she was dizzy, her vision was covered with a layer of blood mist, and she couldn't see clearly. As soon as he fell on the edge of Tianchi, the water was within reach.

Hu Jiu had already lost her sense of pain all over her body, and the blood dripped from her mouth and nose like water and fell into the pool, where it instantly turned into a puff of white smoke and merged into the surrounding mist.

Hu Jiu raised his arm with great difficulty, and pressed the gourd into the pool water, but the pool water bubbled up as if boiling, and his gourd slowly melted in the water like snow, and his hand that was pressed into the water was also crushed. The pool water eroded only bones!

"No...no!" Hu Jiu yelled in pain, gourd, his gourd!What would he use to get water without a gourd? "No!"

Hu Jiu roared and jumped forward, but his body fell into the pool uncontrollably, and he was in boundless pain for a moment.

Hu Jiu in the pool just opened his mouth, and a string of air bubbles came out of his mouth. He saw his arms and legs floating in the water melted into bones little by little, and even the blood had no color. He only had A feeling, it hurts, it hurts really...

"mother……"

Am I dying?

No!I can't die, I absolutely can't die, I still have to save my mother, I still have to fight with the fox people, I want to take back everything that belongs to my mother, I absolutely can't die here!what to dowhat to doI absolutely cannot die here, even if there is only a skeleton left, I will bring the water from Tianchi back to save my mother.

Suddenly, a man appeared without warning above the clear water of the pool, with white clothes and white hair, only a little scarlet between his brows, and coquettish eyes, but the eyes that looked at him revealed boundless indifference.

He just looked indifferently at the unrecognizable Hu Jiu in the pool, watching him sinking in pain, on the verge of death, his struggling eyes gradually filled with death.

Do you really want to watch me die?

Hu Jiu suddenly felt a heartache, almost a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than the sum of all the pains in her whole body.But there is a voice in my heart saying, as long as you want me to die, I can die without hesitation.

"God Lord..."

☆, accident

"what!"

Hu Jiu screamed and jumped up, and Xu Yan's emotionless eyes still appeared in front of her eyes.So indifferent, so heartbroken.God, why are you doing this to me?

Hey, no!

I'm not dead?

Hu Jiu subconsciously looked at his own hands, but the target was not the hands, but only the claws. When he moved, the four claws were intact!

He stood up and counted after his own tails, there were still nine tails, not one more.Hu Jiu waved his tail excitedly. It was strange. At that time, he clearly saw that his limbs had turned into white bones. Also, he had exhausted all his cultivation at that time, why now he felt that the strength in his body was only a little bit more. Because it has doubled compared to before!what is going on!

"Hey, are you awake?" A familiar voice sounded, and Hu Jiuxun raised his head, and it was indeed Xianyang.

Hu Jiu couldn't speak, so she could only run over and rub on Xianyang's calf.

Yan Yang patted Hu Jiu's head very happily.

"You've been in a coma for three full days, and the water in the Tianchi Lake is quite strong. I think you'll be able to transform in another hour." Yan Yang said, putting a tray on the ground with a bowl of water and a small saucer on it. Pastry, "I don't know what you eat, so I made some casually, and no one eats anything on Changbai Peak."

Hu Jiu went over to drink some water.

water!Pool water!

Hu Jiu immediately raised her head, turned around eagerly, but found that this place is a large open space, with a few trees far away beside it, and there is nothing at a glance. Where is my pond water?Hu Jiu jumped into Xianyang's arms impatiently and arched his chin with his wet nose.

water!Pool water!My gourd!

Yanyang's nose was itchy by Hu Jiu, and while hiding, he said: "Ahahaha... What did you say? Ah! You said your gourd!"

Seeing that Yanyang understood what he meant, Hu Jiu jumped out of Yanyang's arms, squatted obediently on the ground and looked at him.

Yan Yang took out a white porcelain bottle the size of a thumb from his bosom, and put it in front of Hu Jiu: "No, this is it, your gourd has been melted in the Tianchi Lake, although it is also a divine weapon, it cannot be the water of the Tianchi Lake. In less than an hour, the divine power of the water in the pool will be exhausted. Not only that, but if you carry it with you, your cultivation will be damaged. Don’t think that this porcelain bottle is small, this is a serious ancient artifact. Fill it with a big jar of water."

"Woooo!" Hu Jiu's eyes lit up, really?

Yan Yang held the porcelain vase in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "There are not many other things on the top of Changbai, but there are many artifacts. I think there was a little phoenix named Feng Jue who lived in Changbai back then. He didn't have any other hobbies but liked collecting. The artifact, the hall of True God Xu Yan is almost piled up into a warehouse by him, he looks like a money addict."

Fengjue, Fenghuang, can still use the Feiluan Hall as a warehouse, and be favored by the True God Xuyan and respected by the ancient gods, his status is very honorable, and Hu Jiu is envious.But why, he would die in the hands of True God Xu Yan?

After a while, Hu Jiu was able to speak, so he asked Xianyang about what happened when he fetched water.

Yan Yang blinked his eyes and smiled: "The water in Tianchi is not so easy to obtain, and you have to pay a price to get it. That illusion was set up by the True God Xu Yan back then. It must be evil! If you can get out of the illusion, then everything will be fine. Disappear, if you can't get out, you will die in the illusion directly."

Hu Jiu was taken aback, swallowed involuntarily, and thought to himself: Sure enough, it is vicious, Xu Yan is a true god, why is he so temperamental...

That illusion is really vicious!

Sure enough, as Xianyang said, Hu Jiu would be able to transform in an hour. He transformed into a human form, and respectfully saluted Xianyang to thank him.

Yan Yang waved his hand and said: "Hey, I am ashamed of receiving it, you deserve it, and the pool of water and porcelain vase were brought to you by Xu Yan Zhenshen, you have to thank him, but follow him I'm afraid I won't see you with that temper."

When Hu Jiu thought of the man in white clothes and white hair he saw in the pool, his heart throbbed again involuntarily.

Yan Yang looked at the top of Hu Jiu's head, hesitated and said: "Also, Lao Long has something to do with you."

Hu Jiu was taken aback, and didn't understand how Xianyang said this.

Yan Yang scratched his face, pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "The kit you gave me... lost."

"Lost it?" Hu Jiu didn't know whether to be surprised or what to do, how could it be lost?

"Yeah, I don't know where I dropped it, but I didn't go anywhere. I've searched all the places I've been to just now, but I couldn't find it. Is your bag very important? I don't have much here. It is said that there are still a few tips, why not pay you one?"

"No need!" Hu Jiu immediately refused: "Thank you, God, if you lose it, just throw it away, God, don't blame yourself, you helped me, this kit will be considered even, right?"

"really?"

"nature."

"Haha, okay, Hujiu, I have made you a friend in Xianyang, if you need something in the future, you can come to Changbai Peak to find me!"

It has been three months since Hu Jiu came to Changbai Mountain to fetch water, and it took two full months just to climb the Panyun steps. It will be several days before returning to Qingqiu. I don't know how my mother is, so I am very embarrassed. Declining Xianyang's plan to keep him, he decided to set off immediately and return to Qingqiu.

Passing by Feiluan Hall, Hu Jiu stopped, bowed respectfully to the main entrance, and shouted: "Hu Jiu thanked the True God Xu Yan for the gift of water, and will surely repay God's kindness in the future."

Feiluan Palace is quiet.

Hu Jiu also knew that Xu Yan would not see him, so he clutched the small porcelain bottle in his hand, feeling confused for some reason.At the same time, in the Sunset Pavilion, Xu Yan was holding a brocade kit, silver thread, orchid flowers, and a jade bell in his hand. It was the one that Jun Li gave to Hu Jiu. Xu Yan looked at Hu Jiu downstairs. The figure who walked away threw the kit at his feet indifferently.

Going down the mountain is much easier than going up, and for some reason, Hu Jiu feels that he has inexhaustible strength in his body, and he can even fly up while running!Could it be because of the water in Tianchi?Thinking of what Xianyang said to him, he couldn't help being happy.

This was the first time in Hu Jiu's life that he was able to fly on the clouds by himself. Before, Changying took him to fly.Changying is a dragon monster on the East China Sea. It was abandoned by the East China Sea Dragon Clan and has no clan, so it has been alone since childhood. His mother died early and his father was old and frail. The two depended on each other for life. Seeking medicine for his mother and almost dying in the East China Sea, it was Changying who rescued him. The two had similar backgrounds and became good friends.

Before Hu Jiu left this time, he specifically asked Chang Ying to take care of his mother. Without Chang Ying's help, he would not have dared to travel thousands of miles to Changbai Mountain.

Hu Jiu ran and flew day and night and finally returned to Qingqiu. However, when he stood in front of the gate of Qingqiu Mountain and looked at the invisible formation hidden in the grass, he suddenly became a little timid. If you know what happened to your mother, will you blame him?

Thinking of the series of things that happened in the first illusion, Hu Jiu still can't calm down in her heart. Thinking of her happy, lively and doted mother who has become what she is now because of giving birth to her, Hu Jiu feels that she is a sin Seriously, Hu Rong's misunderstanding and the rejection of the whole Qingqiu made her mood go from bad to worse. She only hoped that the water from Tianchi, which he had painstakingly retrieved, could make her mother better. Porcelain bottle sighed.

Hu Jiu had already figured out the defense situation of Qingqiu Mountain, so he waited until the guards changed to pass through the illusion barrier quietly. The illusion barrier was the magic circle for Qingqiu Mountain to enter the mountain. Knowing how to break the formation, the formation has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and even the gods with profound divine powers in the sky cannot easily pass through it.

Because of this, the guards in front of the mountain are actually not strict. There are only a lot of guards from the entrance of the mountain to the cave in the back mountain where Hu Jiu and Bai Ling live. To the shady hole.

This cave was found by Abi shortly after Hu Jiu was born. The area is not too big, but it seems that someone lived in it. There is a stone bed in it, and there is a pile of licorice next to the stone bed. It is Hu Jiu. The place where he lived before the Changeling became Ghost's lair later.

There is a big fire pit in the middle of the cave. The fire in the pit burns day and night throughout the year, making this cold and damp cave warm. On the right side of the stone bed is a very simple small cabinet, and on the left is a small cabinet. The whole wall was covered with firewood. Before Hu Jiu left, he filled the wall with dry firewood. He was afraid that he would not know when he would be able to return. He was afraid that Bai Ling's condition would worsen if the fire was extinguished and he would suffer from the cold.

Hu Rong originally planned to completely conceal the matter of Bai Ling from Bai Hu and the like, but the paper could not contain the fire after all. Bai Ling, his father and brother came to Ziming Cave to ask for someone, but Bai Ling refused to see his family again because he was afraid of discrediting his family. Father and elder brother, therefore, have not met for 300 years.But Bai Ling didn't know that Baihu and the others recognized her as a daughter after all, otherwise how could they get the 300-year-old elixir with Hujiu as a minor fox and Abi as a maid?

Hu Jiu quickly ran back to the cave, her heart was pounding with excitement, and as soon as she ran into the cave, she shouted: "Mother, mother, I got the water from Tianchi, mother! Xiaojiu is back!"

His mother had been speechless a long time ago, so he didn't expect to get a response from her when he came in.But why didn't they hear Abi's voice?Standing at the entrance of the cave, Hu Jiu was dazed and panicked. He couldn't feel any aura belonging to his mother in this dark cave. In this cave, there was no fire, no warmth, and it was as cold as an ice cave.

"Mother..." The voice that came out was trembling violently.

Based on his feeling, Hu Jiu waved his palm in the direction of the fire, and a beam of fire ignited, illuminating everything in the cave, but there was nothing on the haystack.

"mother!"

The whole cave is clear at a glance, there is no sign of Bai Ling at all, and he can't even feel the slightest breath. Where did mother go?Hu Jiu looked at the firewood on the wall, the amount of firewood was so small that it was only enough to burn for three days!Could it be that my mother disappeared at that time?How can it be!

Where is Abi, where did Abi go?

And Changying, Changying said that she would visit her mother every day, how could this be!

Hu Jiu ran out frightened, and now he didn't care about being discovered by the guards. His mother was gone. He took great pains to get the water from the Tianchi Lake from the top of Changbai, and came back full of hope, but his mother was gone!

Hu Jiu first ran to the back door of Ziming Cave. Ziming Cave is the place where the patriarch of the fox clan in Qingqiu lived. Nanny Tong was the cook of the patriarch's family. The couple took good care of each other.

Hu Jiu yelled a few times outside Tong Nanny's cave, but there was no movement inside. She couldn't help but walked in. Tong Nanny was not there, and the cave was cold and unpopular. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a while.

why?

Mother, Abi, Tong Nanny are all gone, they are all gone, who will make them disappear at the same time?Mother can't walk at all, she must be taken away by someone else, who is it?

Fox Rong!

Hu Jiu felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead, and without thinking about it, he turned his head and ran towards Ziming Cave.

"Hu Rong, where did you hide my mother?"

Before Hu Jiu entered the cave, he yelled, and when he ran into the cave, he found that Hu Rong was not there. There were only a few of his nominal brothers in the cave.

Hu Jingqian from the first wife's life, Hu Jingxuan and Hu Jingting from the second wife's life.

The eldest lady has a son and a daughter, and her daughter, Hu Meier, is the third child. Because she is the only daughter of Hu Rong, she has been pampered since she was a child.

But Hu Jiu didn't care about her presence anymore, he just wanted to know where mother went!

Hu Jingqian was startled by Hu Jiu, as if he didn't expect Hu Jiu to appear here, he saw Hu Jiu's eyes flicker, put the teacup on the table, and said with a sneer, "Yo, who am I?" , so our fifth brother came back?"

Hu Jingxuan also laughed mockingly, and said very bluntly: "I thought you died in a corner outside, but I didn't expect you to live very well!"

Compared to the cynicism and sarcasm of the two, Hu Jingting just glanced at Hu Jiu and didn't speak.

Hu Jiu didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so she just asked, "Where's my mother?"

Hu Jingqian stood up and walked to Hu Jiu, and looked around Hu Jiu with malicious intentions: "Why, you didn't know that your mother died as soon as you left? I thought you killed your mother and dared not come back ,Hahaha."

Hu Jiudeng felt a bang in his head, he ran forward and grabbed Hu Jingqian by the front and asked, "Is my mother dead?"

Hu Jingqian broke free as soon as he tried hard, and said with Hu Jiu aside, "huh, with your mother's rotten life, it is better to die than to live. Since you didn't kill it, it must be your mother who didn't want to live. .”

"That's right, Hu Jiu," Hu Jingxuan said, "If I were your mother, let alone now, I should kill you and commit suicide when I just found out that I gave birth to a red monster with nine tails, hahaha. "

"Who killed my mother, who is it?" Hu Jiu stepped forward to grab Hu Jieqian, but Hu Jieqian pushed him against the wall.

Hu Jiu is only 300 years old, and his cultivation base is less than [-] years old. Although he came down from the top of Changbai, his internal cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds, but he has no ability to resist in front of Hu Jingqian, who is almost [-] years old.

Hu Jiu rolled around on the ground, and the small porcelain bottle in her arms accidentally fell out.

Hu Jiu was shocked, she got up and wanted to pick it up, but Hu Jieqian picked up the small porcelain bottle one step faster than him.

"Give it back to me!" Hu Jiu yelled and grabbed Hu Jingqian. Hu Jingqian simply pinned Hu Jiu to the corner of the wall and couldn't move.

Hu Jiu shouted like crazy: "Hu Jingqian, give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

"Is this the water from Tianchi Lake?" Hu Jingqian asked while holding up the porcelain bottle.

Hu Jingxuan came over and took a closer look at the porcelain bottle in Hu Jingqian's hand. He wanted to reach out to take it but was stared at by Hu Jingqian. You see, this bottle is not a vulgar thing, didn’t dad go to the Qianzhong Hall, the demon emperor’s messenger said that it was about the reopening of the Changbai Peak by Xu Yan, this must be the water from the Tianchi Lake!”

After hearing what the two said, Hu Jiu felt as if she had been hit in the head, her mind went blank: "How do you know?"

Hu Jingqian laughed loudly: "Hu Jiu, Hu Jiu, I really don't know what to say about you. I didn't expect you to be so lucky to get the water from the Tianchi Lake. You caught up."

Hu Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth: "That Taoist priest belongs to you..."

Hu Jingqian glanced at him, did not refute, but just held the porcelain bottle in front of a rare treasure, his eyes sparkled and said: "According to rumors, a sip of water from Tianchi can improve one's cultivation for ten thousand years..."

As Hu Jingqian spoke, he uncorked the porcelain bottle. In an instant, the air of the emperor gushed out, and Hu Jingqian tried his best to resist the subconscious reaction of throwing the bottle away.

Hu Jingting raised his eyebrows suddenly, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and looked at the three of them solemnly and calmly.

"The spirit of the emperor, this is really the water of the Tianchi Lake!" Hu Jingxuan shouted, looking greedily at the water of the Tianchi Lake in Hu Jingqian's hand, and swallowed hard.

Hu Jingqian gave Hu Jingxuan a hard look, and he walked up to Hu Jiu and looked down at Hu Jiu and said, "Hu Jiu, anyway, your mother is dead, why don't you give me the water from the Tianchi Lake, just treat it as a In the past 300 years, you have shown a little filial piety to me as a big brother."

Hu Jiu was suppressed to the ground by Hu Jingqian's demon power and couldn't even get up, so she could only ruthlessly say: "Hu Jingqian, you are despicable!"

"I'm despicable? Hahaha, if it wasn't for my good intentions, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to go to Changbai, and you wouldn't be able to get the water from the pool!" Hu Jingqian laughed and raised his neck, pointed the bottle at his mouth, and poured it out.

"No, that's mine!" Hu Jiu yelled, but he could only watch helplessly as the water from Tianchi flowed into Hu Jingqian's mouth.

Hu Jingxuan looked greedily at the pool water exuding strong divine power, eager to taste it, as if he could have a sip when Hu Jingqian drank enough.

However, just when Hu Jingqian felt that he was about to achieve greatness, his throat felt like a burning pain. He stopped and lowered his head in a daze, only to see a faint divine light emanating from his throat to his abdomen.

☆、white fox

Hu Jiu, Hu Jingting, and Hu Jingxuan all looked at Hu Jingqian with wide eyes. The porcelain bottle in Hu Jingqian's hand fell, and then he covered his neck, his eyes widened, his expression was extremely frightened, and the light in the middle of his body gradually faded away. Dasheng, they watched Hu Jingqian burst into flesh and blood from his mouth, throat, and abdomen. The demonic power mixed with the emperor's aura spread unhindered. Seeing the speed of corrosion, Hu Jingqian let out a miserable howl.

The restrictions on Hu Jiu's body disappeared, and he stood up slowly, watching in shock that Hu Jingqian's body split from throat to abdomen and broke in two.

Lianyang said that Tianchi has an illusion, if he can escape the illusion, everything will disappear, if he can't escape, he will die in the illusion, he didn't expect that he would be like this even if he drank the pool water, and he had already been melted by the pool water at that time He was completely unscathed, otherwise, when he fell into Tianchi, there would not even be ashes left.

Seeing Hu Jingqian's tragic appearance, Hu Jiu picked up the porcelain bottle that Hu Jieqian threw on the ground with lingering fears. Fortunately, he didn't feed it to his mother, otherwise wouldn't it be... He suddenly thought of Xu Yan, so lofty, so cold and unparalleled, Remaining independent from the world, he is the true god of ancient times, blessed by nature, why would he have to play tricks on these little people, even if it is to save people, he must use such cruel methods?

Just when Hu Jiu was thinking wildly, Hu Jingqian's voice disappeared completely, and he fell on his back to the ground, festering intestines flowed out from the gap in his abdomen, his eyes seemed to be staring out, his death was so tragic that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Hu Jingxuan yelled frantically, his voice was terrified, he pointed at Hu Jiu and shouted: "Killer, you killed Hu Jingqian, you are a murderer!" He shouted and ran out of the cave stumbling go.

Hu Jiu looked at Hu Jingqian coldly and didn't respond. In his opinion, Hu Jingqian was completely self-inflicted.When he was young, Hu Jingqian often brought other older children of the same age to bully him. At that time, he really wanted Hu Jieqian to die, but now that Hu Jingqian is really dead, he didn't get what he wanted Feel.

Suddenly someone pushed him, and Hu Jiu realized that it was Hu Jingting.

Hu Jingting looked at him, her eyebrows were tightly clustered: "Why don't you run away and stay here?"

Hu Jiu said calmly at this moment: "If I run away, won't I admit that I killed Hu Jingqian?"

Hu Jingting roared in a low voice: "Do you think they can let you go if you stay? Hu Jingqian died after drinking your Tianchi water. Hu Jingxuan has already seen it. How do you justify it?"

"That is indeed the water of the Heavenly Lake."

There were already chaotic footsteps and noises outside the cave.

"Who can testify for you?" Hu Jingting pulled Hu Jiu into the depths of the cave, and said as he ran, "Hu Jiu, no one can prove that your bottle is filled with water from the Tianchi Lake, unless you find it. people to prove."

"No! I can't leave, I still have to find my mother, I absolutely don't believe that my mother is dead!" Hu Jiu said and broke away from Hu Jingting's hand.

Hu Jingting was staggered by Hu Jiu, and angrily punched Hu Jiu on the face, grabbed Hu Jiu's clothes and said fiercely: "Hu Jiu, why don't you understand the current situation! Jingqian died because of you. Believe it or not, you can only die if you stay. You can’t even see the sun tomorrow. Your mother is dead! Already dead! Don’t you want to find your mother’s body? Don’t you want to To avenge her? Go now!"

Hu Jiu was stunned, completely lost the strength to resist, and let Hu Jingting pull him away.

Hu Jiu was dragged to a remote cave entrance by Hu Jingting. It was pitch black outside. He suddenly looked at Hu Jingting strangely and asked, "Why did you let me go?"

Hu Jingting didn't answer Hu Jiu's words, but said: "I won't cover up Hu Jingqian's death for you, you go, remember, if you can't find someone who can testify for you, it's best not to come back. With your identity, once you come back, you will definitely end up being pushed to the Demon Slaying Platform."

"Thank you." Hu Jiu took a deep look at Hu Jingting, turned to leave, but was stopped by Hu Jingting.

"The night before your mother died, I saw my father go to the cave."

Hu Jiu was startled, and just about to say something, the guard's voice came from the cave, Hu Jingting pushed him several feet away, Hu Jiu turned around, only to see the faint light of torches in the cave, he had no choice but to turn around. The head ran away.

Hu Jiu did not go back to the Yin Cave, but ran around the Yin Cave to the back of the mountain. The back of the mountain where the Yin Cave is located is a cliff, and under the cliff is the surging East China Sea. The protrusion on the cliff climbed and jumped, and soon got into a hidden but wide cave on the cliff.

This cave is called Qianjiao Cave. Thousands of dragons used to live there. The dragons were arrogant and fierce. Now only Changying and Father Jiao are left in Qianjiao Cave. The maze in Qianjiao Cave is full of twists and turns, occupying an entire mountain. If no one leads the way, they will lose their way and eventually die in the maze.

Hu Jiu is a frequent visitor to Qianjiao Cave, he is clever and never forgets, this Qianjiao Cave Long Tassel only took him once, and he never got lost.

As we got closer, Hu Jiu suddenly smelled a very strong smell of herbs. Father Jiao is not in good health and often drinks herbs, but today's herbs are different from usual. He had a faint assumption in his heart, so he hurried towards the cave go.

In the past, Changying was the one who boiled the medicine, but today he turned into Father Jiao. At this moment, Hu Jiu felt that the development of the matter had exceeded his imagination.

"Father Jiao."

"Fox Jiu!" Father Jiao has sparse white hair, dark skin, wrinkles all over his face, sagging skin, and cloudy eyes. Because his ears are not working well, he speaks loudly. He heard Hu Jiu's voice. He shouted, and stood up from the herbal medicine stove on the ground, but his body was so rickety that he couldn't stand up straight. He looked at Hu Jiu carefully for several times before confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Hu Jiu, and then pointed at Hu Jiu with his withered fingers. An extremely hoarse voice said, "You're not dead, you fox nine!"

"Who said I was dead?"

Father Jiao came over tremblingly and grabbed Hu Jiu's hand, looked at Hu Jiu up and down carefully before finally confirming the same thing, his eyes were moist with excitement: "Xiao Jiuzi, you are back! We I thought you were dead!"

Hu Jiu held Father Jiao's hands like firewood and comforted him: "Father Jiao, I'm not dead. Look at me, let's not talk about this. Where's Changying? Where's my mother? And Abi, where are they going?" gone?"

Father Jiao patted Hu Jiu's hand and twitched his nose twice, "Come with me."

There are many rooms in Qianjiao Cave. Over the years, Father Jiao and Changying have lived in the two outermost rooms, but no one has ever lived in the inside, but now Father Jiao is dragging him inside for a while. room, and pushed open the door.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and there was a smell of putrid blood.

Hu Jiu looked over and saw that the only person lying on the bed in the room was Abi.

"Abi!" Hu Jiu walked quickly to the bed, only to see that Abi's face had been cut several times, the wound was hideous and purple, her hair was messy, and there were strangle marks on her neck.Hu Jiu called her several times, but Abi didn't respond.

Father Jiao said: "This was mentioned two months ago. On the seventh day after you left, Changying came back from the cave and said that your mother and Abi had disappeared. Changying was so anxious that he said you should leave. I told him when your mother was gone. He couldn’t explain to you without your mother. He searched for these two people in Qingqiu for three consecutive nights, but no matter what, he couldn’t find them. Changying went to Changbai Mountain to look for you, but after this trip, he never came back. I didn't come back. Later I heard from the old guy in Donghai that Changying was captured by Donghai. Abi was thrown into Donghai half a month ago. Fortunately, I was on Donghai at that time, so I brought her back gone."

Father Jiao wiped away his turbid old tears, "This girl's limbs have all been broken, her tongue has been cut off, her body is covered with whips and burns, and I'm afraid she can't see her eyes."

Hu Jiu clenched her teeth tightly, feeling her whole body trembling, who on earth is so vicious!Treat Abi like this!

Father Jiao asked Hu Jiu strangely: "It's just that I don't understand why she can still maintain her human form after suffering such a serious injury?"

"It's because she suffered such a serious injury." Hu Jiu stretched out her hand and floated on Abi's forehead, and said worriedly after a while: "Abi is the offspring of a fox demon and a human being, and she has half mortal blood in her body. She doesn't need to practice She can change freely between the fox shape and the human shape. Her mother was beheaded because she violated the rules of heaven. Abi was hidden by my mother so that no outsiders discovered it. Judging from the current situation, they must know about Abi Bi’s identity is why she is being tortured so much.”

It was the first time for Father Jiao to see a person who was born across the border, and he was quite surprised: "But why didn't she get better after I gave her medicine for such a long time?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with Abi not turning into a fox."

Father Jiao sat down on the stool, bent his back, and wiped his tears with his cuff, "Xiao Jiuzi, what should we do? Your mother disappeared, Abi was tortured like this, and Changying was tortured by that old bastard in the East China Sea. Captured!"

"Father Jiao, don't worry, leave the matter of Changying to me, you are waiting for news in Qianjiao Cave, I will take the risk of bringing Abi back to the White Fox Cave tonight, for my mother and Abi, I must go to the White Fox Cave of."

Hu Jiu himself was annoyed, why he ran to Ziming Cave in a fit of anger, if Hu Jingqian hadn't died, then he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but Hu Jingqian's death is more than enough.Hu Jiu didn't tell Father Jiao that Hu Jieqian died because he was afraid of adding pressure to Father Jiao.

Abi's inability to return to the fox shape is a big trouble for Hujiu. Although Abi is thin and small, her body shape is similar to Hujiu's. Instead of giving up the plan to bring Abi back to the White Fox Cave, he went into battle and stole back to Qingqiu once with light packs.

The White Fox Cave and the Ziming Cave are exactly in two directions. The Ziming Cave is located in the southwest of Qingqiu, while the White Fox Cave is in the northwest. Moreover, after Hu Jingqian's death, the situation is even more difficult under the martial law in Qingqiu.

Not to mention how to enter the White Fox Cave without alarming the guards, the entrance of Qianjiao Cave is surrounded now, those people seem to know about his friendship with Changying, but they dare not enter Qianjiao Cave Fortunately, Qianjiao Cave has more than one entrance, and Father Jiao took Hu Jiu out of one of the exits in the mountain.

This cave is located outside Qingqiu Mountain. Although he needs to go through several formations to return to Qingqiu, it is easier than avoiding the guards.

Qingqiu is famous in the Three Realms for its illusion, so there are formations at each entrance of Qingqiu Mountain. If someone breaks through the level by force, he will be found out, and if he passes through the level smoothly, he will enter silently.

Hu Jiu has successfully passed the checkpoint from across the mountain at this moment, but he saw the guards on the first floor in front of him from a distance. It will be discovered from afar.

It is simply night now, not as easy to expose as during the day, but Hu Jiu's fiery red hair is still dazzling in the dark, so he can only move in human form, and his movement speed is greatly restricted.

Hu Jiu even stayed motionless in the barley for two hours in order to hide his whereabouts. As the night was getting late, Hu Jiu was so anxious that he lost his stability when walking. He accidentally kicked a stone and made a "dong" sound .

Although it was a very small sound, it was enough for the nearby guards to notice that Hu Jiu's heart was pounding, watching the guards getting closer and closer, he was hesitating whether to stay put or act first Suddenly, a deep voice came over.

"What are you doing?"

The person who came was wearing a blue-gray armor, tall and mighty, with especially bright eyes.

"See General Bai Wei. Going back to General Bai Wei, we heard a voice here just now."

Bai Wei put his hands behind his back, looked towards Hu Jiu, and said, "There's nothing, don't be suspicious, go and watch it carefully."

"Yes." Several guards got up and walked away.

Looking at Bai Wei's tall figure, Hu Jiu couldn't restrain her inner excitement, and murmured, "Uncle."

Suddenly someone covered Hu Jiu's mouth from behind. Just as Hu Jiu was about to resist, he heard the person behind him say: "Don't move, young master, I am General Bai Wei's subordinate."

Hu Jiu didn't move when he heard that.

The man let go of his hand, took a set of clothes worn by Bai Wei's subordinates from behind, and told Hu Jiu to change them on. Hu Jiu changed as quickly as possible, and then followed Bai Wei's subordinates out of the barley.

Bai Wei glanced at Hu Jiu, turned his head and left without saying a word, but the gaze he and Hu Jiu were full of undisguised concern, Hu Jiu's eyes also became hot, and hurriedly followed behind Bai Wei , surrounded by Bai Wei's subordinates.

Bai Wei brought Hu Jiu back to the White Fox Cave smoothly, and his subordinates naturally guarded the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Hu Jiu said excitedly, "Uncle!"

"Xiaojiu, I knew you must have not escaped from Qingqiu, and have been looking for you. You are so worried about me! Why did Hu Jingqian die suddenly!" Bai Wei seemed really worried, and grabbed him. Hu Jiu's arms kept talking.

"Uncle, my mother...my mother..."

Seeing Hu Jiu's expression, Bai Wei immediately grabbed Hu Jiu's arm, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with your mother? Tell me!"

"My mother is dead!"

There was a 'bang' from behind, and Hu Jiuyi turned around and saw standing behind him was his grandfather, Elder Qingqiu, an old general like Baihu, and the only demon in the demon world other than the demon king who was as powerful as a god .

Baicheng's crutch fell to the ground, his gray beard trembled with his lips, his left leg, which lacked the sole of its foot, had nothing to rely on because of the loss of the crutch, and his body leaned.

Hu Jiu rushed over and knelt in front of Baicheng, supporting Baicheng's old and disabled body.

The servant helped up the crutch, but Bai Cheng didn't take it, but grabbed Hu Jiu's hand and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think is wrong with your mother?"

Bai Wei waved his subordinates back, and personally supported Bai Cheng to sit down. Hu Jiu blinked his sour eyes, and told Bai Cheng and Bai Wei about a series of things that happened when he came back from Qingqiu.

Bai Cheng and Bai Wei both looked shocked, Bai Wei slapped the solid wooden table with his palm, and the teacups on the table were knocked down.

"Hu Rong, you bastard! If I knew the result from the beginning, I would rather break my sister's leg than let her marry Hu Rong!"

Compared with Bai Wei's fury, Bai Cheng is much calmer, but his eyes are full of sadness but not less than Bai Wei's.After all, Baicheng is a person who has experienced great storms, and his heart has long been sharpened. Even though his favorite daughter died, he was not overly emotional.

When the catastrophe broke out 10 years ago, Baicheng was only [-] years old. At that time, he followed the demon emperor to fight against the demons. Even if a foot was cut off, he did not flinch. Guomen's wife carried him off the battlefield, and the two survived.

Baicheng's wife died of old age 3 years ago, and the Demon Emperor even came to mourn in person, which is enough to see the status of the white fox in the entire demon world.

Bai Wei turned around on the ground a few times, and said angrily: "Father, I'm going to Ziming Cave to ask for someone now, I don't believe that Hu Rong dares to fight against me!" Grab it.

Bai Cheng also stopped him, "Bai Wei, calm down, now is not the time to be impulsive."

Bai Wei's face was full of anger, furious: "Now is not the time, then when is the time, the one who died was none other than my sister, you are my daughter!"

"I know!" Bai Cheng's voice was very deep, Bai Wei was suppressed by his father's aura, and he dodged hard.

"Xiao Jiu, according to what you said, you have no evidence to prove that your mother has suffered an accident, and Hu Jingqian's words are not credible." Bai Cheng paused, and said in a calm voice: "At least we still have a glimmer of hope, don't we? "

When Bai Wei heard that there was still hope, he calmed down.

Bai Cheng stroked his beard and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what else do you know?"

Hu Jiu paused and said, "Grandpa, I really don't have any evidence to prove that what they said is true. I only have to find evidence. Now one is Abi and the other is Tong Nanny. Abi's identity may be the result of being The group of people found out that she had been tortured terribly, and now she is in Qianjiao Cave, unconscious, and unable to transform into a fox shape
