Fox Song

Chapter 20: First Entry into the Human World
Twenty-three years ago, Shuzhou.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, there are mountains and rocks rising one after another. Peaks pierce the sky like sharp swords, and low mountains are winding and continuous. Various strange peaks and rocks are in various shapes and forms, which are breathtaking.

One morning, after a heavy rain, the mountains were covered with clouds and fog, and it was white all over, like a vast ocean.

At this time, on a high peak in the shape of a Chinese character "品", four stubbornly towering green pines on the cliff passed through the milky white mist and danced in the breeze.

Suddenly, the entire mountain began to tremble slightly, and the ancient brown cliffs turned red, and then a dazzling golden yellow. The four green pines suddenly turned into four hideous snakes, splitting into two and moving to the side.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a figure accompanied by thousands of rays of light burst out and was shot into the sky like a cannonball, and disappeared at the end of the sky in the blink of an eye.

The sunset glow gradually faded, and the two doors at the entrance of the cave closed silently. The strange snake coiled on the door opened its eyes slightly, spitting out its red snake core, lazily twisted its huge body, and then turned into four lush green ancient pines.

The milky white mist came with the wind, and the green pines swayed, as if nothing had happened.

……

Ugh, that hurts!
Yin Yue suddenly realized that her whole body was aching. She slowly opened her eyes, but suddenly saw a strange face in front of her!
what……

She was startled and cried out.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, a scream came from the other side.

Yin Yue came back to her senses and looked carefully. It turned out that there was a young man in his thirties standing in front of her. He was pale and obviously frightened.

Not even a trace of spiritual power! Human race! Ordinary mortal!

Yin Yue investigated carefully and quickly came to a conclusion, and felt relieved.

"You scared me to death!" The man opposite sighed and finally said with a wry smile, "Girl, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Yin Yue did not answer. She looked around and found herself sitting on a pile of firewood. There was a big hole in the thatched roof above her head.

"Where am I?" she asked in surprise.

"In my woodshed," the man explained. "When I came, I saw you lying here. I was just about to see what happened to you, but then you woke up..."

"Woodshed?" She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When she and Lan Lan Xiaojing were traveling through the mountains and rivers, she had thought of many ways to enter the world in her spare time. She never expected that she would make her debut in this way in the end.

"Come, let me pull you up!" The man smiled and reached out his hand to her.

"Thank you! No, I can do it myself." She shook her head.

She supported herself on the pile of firewood with both hands and stood up, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body and almost fell down as she staggered.

The man had been watching nearby, and upon seeing this he quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders.

Yin Yue's face changed. After thinking for a while, she subconsciously let go of her clenched hands.

She endured the severe pain and let him support her as she slowly walked out of the woodshed.

She secretly groaned in her heart. She had not expected that the restrictions in the ancient ruins were so powerful that they almost paralyzed her. Fortunately, when she fell, the remaining spiritual power in her body automatically protected her body. Otherwise, she would have been injured if she had not died after falling from such a high place while almost unconscious.

After the man helped Yin Yue out, he let her sit on a wooden chair in front of the house.

After she sat down, she looked around carefully. She realized that she was at the foot of a mountain. In addition to the three houses in front of her, there were two or three low-rise mud-brick houses a few hundred meters away on the right.

The front yard is surrounded by green trees, with dozens of chickens and ducks roosting and walking under the trees, and the sounds of chickens and ducks foraging can be heard from time to time. The paths in the fields are intertwined, and the paths extend into the distance, with a few houses scattered around. The breeze blows gently, and the faint fragrance of the fields mixed with the soil floats in the air, making people intoxicated.

Undoubtedly, this is a small village in a remote area.

"Are you fleeing?" the man picked up a bench, sat down, and asked.

"Escape?" Yin Yue was stunned.

"Isn't it?" the man asked curiously, "There was a heavy rain last night, and it was said that there was a mudslide on the other side of the mountain, which flooded two or three villages..."

"Oh?" Yin Yue's face changed slightly, as if she remembered something, and then she answered, "I guess so..."

Is it? This is definitely not an answer. Seeing that she seemed unwilling to say more, the man thought he had touched the pain in her heart and apologized, "I'm sorry, I——"

"It doesn't matter." Yin Yue said lightly.

"I'll get you a basin of water to wash your hands." The man looked her up and down, then walked away.

Yin Yue looked at herself. Many places on her clothes were torn, and the left sleeve had a big tear. In order to facilitate movement, Yin Yue and her friends had specially prepared more clothes for ordinary people. Yin Yue also prepared three sets of clothes for herself, but unfortunately the other two sets were kept in the storage bracelet.

At this time, it is naturally impossible to take out the clothes, otherwise it would be too unbelievable.

Not long after, the man came out of the adobe house in front with a basin of water in his hand.

Yin Yue took the basin and a strange smile appeared on her face - the clear water in the basin reflected a face covered in mud and dust, with a few strands of grass roots tangled in her hair.

With this appearance and worn-out clothes, it is no wonder that he was mistaken for a villager fleeing from the disaster.

With the help of clear water, Yin Yue made simple modifications to herself and restored herself to the image of an ordinary woman.

Although she still looked like a country girl, she felt that she was not so annoying after all.

"I still don't know your name?" Yin Yue asked.

Only then did she come to her senses and looked carefully at the man in front of her.

The man had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing light-colored cotton clothes and a pair of army green flat shoes, with some dirt on the edges of his shoes. He was thin and didn't seem to be a farmer. Overall, he looked clean and neat.

"Lu Wei!" he said with a smile, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

"Reed?" Yin Yue followed along and nodded, saying, "This is a good name, easy to remember!"

Lu Wei knew that she must be thinking of that aquatic plant, but he didn't point it out, and asked, "I wonder what the girl's name is..."

Yin Yue thought for a moment and said with a smile, "My name is Hu Xiaoyue!"

……

The red Audi R8 Spyder slowly stopped in front of the Qinhuai Hotel.

A few minutes later, Zixuan and Xiaojing were already in the presidential suite on the 25th floor.

Shortly after leaving Lanlan Villa, Zixuan had already asked Lanlan to call the hotel and book a hotel suite in the car.

The two stood by the window of the viewing balcony, with their hands on the railing, quietly looking at the night in the distance.

At this time, the sky was dotted with stars, blinking constantly.

Looking out the window, the Qinhuai River in the distance is still as bright as ever. The glittering lines and patterns on the tall buildings across the river and the lights on the riverside change wonderfully, as if to show the unique charm of Jinling, a city that never sleeps.

"I finally understand why you went to Shuzhou so many times over the years." Xiao Jing sighed, "You can't forget him after all."

Zixuan remained silent.

"Do you love him?" Xiaojing suddenly asked.

Zi Xuan shook her head and said faintly, "I don't know either. Maybe I love her... maybe I don't love her..."

"I still remember clearly that when we sisters met in Shuzhou, you injured your own origin. You said it was the formation in the ruins..."

"It's not a formation." Zi Xuan said, "I was still thinking about going back at that time, so of course I wouldn't tell you this."

"Is that him?" Xiaojing asked doubtfully.

"How could he, a mere mortal, die if he had this ability?"

"Who is that?"

"The Corpse King and his ministers!"
