Fox Song

Chapter 26 Sadness
The scene before my eyes was truly shocking.

Yin Yue rushed down without any hesitation.

"Lu Wei!..."

Yin Yue’s face was pale and he shouted anxiously as he ran.

But apart from the whistling wind, no other sound responded to her.

Several adobe houses have been completely buried by rocks and soil that have slid down from the mountain.

The wide field in front of the house was mostly covered by dirt and rocks. The huge camphor tree next to the field had been crushed to the side, with only a small part of its thick trunk and dense crown exposed. The ground was littered with broken branches and leaves, a mess.

"Lu Wei!"

Yin Yue shouted unwillingly, but still no one responded.

She bent down to move the stones on the pile of earth, but after moving a few pieces, she felt tired.

She had just consumed too much spiritual energy and had not had time to adjust her internal breath. There were too many boulders and dirt sliding down the mountain, and it would be impossible to move them all in a short time.

She hesitated for a moment, a look of determination appeared in her eyes, and she silently recited the spell in her mind:

The true form of the celestial fox!

change!
She couldn't care less about anything else and revealed her true form!
Her bones crackled and she instantly transformed into a nine-tailed fox that was sixty or seventy feet tall, with its tail dancing like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

In the dark night, the fox stood out, its eyes dark and shining, like a star twinkling in the night sky. The fox was white, with fluffy and smooth fur. Its nine tails faintly exuded spiritual power, and its aura was amazing. One of the tails was milky white, and the other eight tails were silvery white, shining brightly, with a flowing metallic texture.

After Yin Yue revealed her true form, the nine fox tails behind her suddenly grew in size. Each one grew to be as thick as a water tank, and stretched out like the arms of an excavator.

The fox's tail waved and the earth and rocks rolled.

Relying on her strong physical strength, Yin Yue quickly dug to the bedroom where Lu Wei was. She carefully turned over the collapsed beams, and found that there was no one inside.

Could it be?

Yin Yue was stunned, and she hurried to search the house where she lived.

"Lu..."

After a few minutes, she screamed out, but she was choked with sobs.

When she went to explore the valley, she rolled up a quilt and turned it into her own appearance, then covered it with a blanket and put it on the bed. However, "she" could only make simple movements but could not speak.

Now, "she" was hiding quietly under a stone table, with an expressionless face, blinking at the silver moon.

"Her" body was intact and she had no idea what had happened.

Lu Wei lay on the table with his arms stretched straight. He actually used his body to protect the entire table, leaving a space.

Yin Yue carefully moved away the stones and clods of earth that were pressing on Lu Wei.

Looking at him covered in blood, she couldn't hold back her tears and they flowed like rain.

Suddenly, she thought of something——

She transformed back into human form and carefully transferred her spiritual power into it.

In her perception, Lu Wei's ribs were almost all broken, his internal organs were already in tatters, and it was obvious that he was dying.

Just when Yin Yue was feeling hopeless, she felt him move -

“Lu Wei!” “Lu Wei!”…

Perhaps, it was the constant nourishment of spiritual power, or perhaps it was Yin Yue’s urgent call that worked.

He suddenly coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and even half opened his eyes.

"Xiao Yue... is that you? Ahem..." He smiled and said slowly, "I'm glad you're okay..."

"Why are you so stupid?" Yin Yue held his hand and sobbed.

She could imagine the scene when the earthquake and landslide came and he rushed into the house but was unable to take her with him and had to hide her under the table.

Fate plays tricks on people, the truth is so cruel and full of irony. She originally told him that she was not afraid of landslides, she had magic, and the person he was protecting was a fake substitute.

However, at this moment, her heart was blocked, how could she say these words?
"What beautiful flowers..." Lu Wei said, "Good..."

"Um……"

But Yin Yue was shocked afterwards.

It was pitch black at this time, and Lu Wei, a mortal, could not see anything at all, let alone flowers...

"Lu Wei!"

Lu Wei's hand suddenly dropped, and Yin Yue saw that his pupils were disappearing.

Yin Yue stood up suddenly, and with a wave of her fingers, countless rays of light forming strange patterns shot into Lu Wei's mind.

Spirit Fox Seal!
This is the secret method of the Sky Fox Clan, which is said to be able to seal a person's consciousness.

However, even though Yin Yue completed the secret method, he stopped talking. As time went by, he showed no improvement.

His body gradually became cold, and Yin Yue's heart also became colder.

His vitality was lost too quickly, and even if she used secret techniques to seal his consciousness and temporarily retain his soul, it was of no avail.

She is not a doctor, nor does she know any healing spells. If Xiaojing were here, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope.

However, there is no if...

Yin Yue seemed to see Lu Wei's soul floating out of his body, rising higher and higher, and finally disappearing into the sky.

"Lu Wei!..."

She sat down on the ground.

……

"You've run so far away from home, aren't you afraid of dying in a foreign land?" she asked jokingly.

"What's there to be afraid of?" He replied, "Why bury my bones in my hometown? There are green mountains everywhere in life!"

"What kind of bullshit is this! I don't understand." she said.

"I have a cabinet of books, but you don't read them. Come, come, let me explain to you what these two sentences mean... Therefore, a poet named Tao Yuanming also said, "Relatives may still be sad, but others are already singing. What is there to say about death? My body will be buried in the mountains..."

……

The scenes of my past life seemed to come back to my mind again.

"What's the point of dying? My body will be buried in the mountains!" she murmured to herself.

Her heart felt as if it was pierced by a needle. She never expected that her old joke would come true.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a roar like a wounded wild beast was heard in the distance, and the sound was quite shrill.

Yin Yue heard it clearly. It was not the cry of a wild beast, but the roar of the general - but this roar was filled with resentment, pain and helplessness.

She was stunned for a moment, looking around -

There was no faint flashlight around, and except for the faint sound of hoarse sobbing, the countryside was still deathly silent.

The once warm and kind villagers were ruthlessly swallowed by the darkness like lambs to the slaughter.

Yin Yue picked up Lu Wei, bent down and placed him under the stone table, lying on the quilt that had returned to its original state.

Afterwards, she stood up and floated into the air. She gritted her teeth and swung her hands. A huge, extremely hot fireball condensed out and slammed into the mountain behind the house.
"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the mountain shook violently. Countless rocks mixed with soil rolled down like a torrent...

In the blink of an eye, the entire piece of land was completely buried by earth and rocks, forming a small hill, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

Standing for a long time.

Yin Yue turned and rushed towards the valley...

……

Late at night.

The lights of Jinling City outside the window are still dim.

Xiaojing looked at Zixuan who was lying quietly on the bed, silent.

She curled up tightly, like a frightened kitten in the dark.

"Oh——" Xiaojing let out a long sigh.

She had not expected that the unrivaled Princess Silver Moon of the Sky Fox Clan would actually be so weak and helpless.

You know, over the years, although Xiaojing and Lanlan were Yinyue's close maids, she had never caused them any worries.

But tonight is an exception.

When she recounted the past, she was very excited and couldn't control herself. Xiao Jing was worried and couldn't help but secretly hypnotize her.

Hypnosis is the last branch of the healing system, and every cultivator who is proficient in healing spells knows it. If it were any other day, this hypnosis would be nothing to Yin Yue. But now she was in a state of panic, her emotions out of control, and she was unknowingly deceived by Xiao Jing, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Before going to sleep, she still held the painting of "Flaming Red Lips" tightly in her hand. However, the paper of the painting was already wrinkled and there were even tear stains on it.

Xiao Jing silently looked at the painting and the sleeping Zi Xuan, her brows slightly furrowed.

Lu Wei died because of her, and she might feel more guilty than loving him. But Lu Wei has been reincarnated again after his death, and it seems to be endless. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
