With a tiger in my heart, I smell Xinlan carefully

"Your ability to escape is indeed inferior to your ability to divination, Mr. Wanshun."

The tall and straight man stopped in the middle of the narrow path, covered in dust and tired, staring closely at the carriage in front of him, but his eyes were shining brightly in the dark night, as if he was ready to go wolf.

The coachman was already paralyzed on the shaft seat in fright, his body was shaking like a sieve, and he could barely hold his horsewhip.

There was a sigh in the carriage, and the curtain was lifted immediately, and it was Wan Shun, who had been missing for a long time, with a bloated figure and a crimson robe: "Chief Chen, it's been a long time. I already know why you came here. The only one Ask each other, your grievances and grievances, don't hurt others."

Xiaohu nodded and pouted at the coachman, he immediately understood, jumped off the carriage and walked away without looking back.

There are only two people left in the world here, they looked at each other for a long time but they didn't say a word.Wan Shun's escape route is all the way to the south, leaving the vast grassland in the north, where the meadow is embedded with the deciduous forest, the night wind blows the grass singing and the leaves singing, and the atmosphere is quiet and strange.

"Lord Wanshun, I don't intend to hurt you, but I have two questions, you must answer me honestly." It was Xiaohu who spoke first.

Wan Shun smiled when he heard the words, adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, and leaned against the side wall of the carriage with a very leisurely posture: "If you want to ask if I have anything to do with the attack on you, then I can tell you that it is indeed I who killed you." Reported the news to the Black Fox King."

Xiaohu raised his eyebrows: Are you really so honest?Is it awe-inspiring and fearless, or does it have other plans?

In fact, he has already guessed whether he was betrayed. Wanshun's confession is just a solid conclusion, and Xiaohu is of course more concerned about other things.He sorted out his thoughts, pursed his lips and said cautiously: "I know that your divination skills are extremely powerful—I'm sorry that I don't have any other words to praise you, and the person who is good at this is not with me right now—in short, I think The question I asked is related to fate, and you are the only person I can think of who can answer my question."

He lowered his eyes and fell into the memory: "I don't know if you still remember the girl who was with us, Hua Xiaolan, who should also be working for the Black Fox Gang now. Ten years ago, she was very good with me and Xiaolong My friend, I often go on adventures. Once she found a scroll of fragmented pictures, and excitedly wanted to find the legendary wheel of time..."

Xiaohu narrated in a low tone, his eyes were deep and no emotion could be seen.He was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't notice Wan Shun's expression changed from surprise to deep thought, and the whisper of "So that's it".

After briefly describing the miraculous incident when he was young, he raised his head and looked directly at Wan Shun, with a longing light in his eyes: "Can a person's fate be changed? If so, why can't we change it even though we saved Xiaolan?" Her fate today?"

Wan Shun also looked at him, and under Xiaohu's eagerly expectant eyes, he shook his head, and the expression on his face was not sure whether it was sarcasm or emotion: "Don't indulge in numerology at a young age, after all, the Tao is mysterious. I dare not say for sure, but if you want to know why Hua Xiaolan became the subordinate of the Black Fox King, I am very clear about it. It is definitely not destiny, but man-made."

Xiaohu didn't do what he thought, and said decisively: "All ears."

"1000 years ago, a peerless monster appeared in the Central Plains, raging everywhere and causing many crimes. The three monks of Shaolin Temple stepped forward to save the common people from the fire and water, and subdued the monster. It is said that if the monster reappears one day and wants to subdue the demon and do the right way, then It is necessary for the descendants of the three warrior monks to gather together to resist, and one is indispensable—this is the legend of the Black Fox King."

Hearing what he said, Xiaohu suddenly realized: "You mean the three of us are the descendants of those three warrior monks?"

Wan Shun nodded: "Sanzang didn't tell you because you were too young and not ready. And when you grew up, he disappeared."

"But the Black Fox King—" Xiaohu lost his voice halfway through speaking.

He wanted to ask how the Black Fox King knew about it, but he immediately remembered that the person in front of him was suspected of being loyal to the Black Fox King. Since Wan Shun knew it, it was not surprising that the Black Fox King knew about it.

Seeing that Xiaohu understood what he was thinking so naturally, Wan Shun couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "It's not my credit."

When he mentioned this matter, he also looked very emotional: "Ten years ago, I wanted to retire, and I was afraid that the emperor would fear that I would not let me go, so I found the Black Fox King. He promised to help me, but as a price, I have to enter Shaolin Temple, trying to find a way to confirm whether the three lay disciples named Hua Xiaolan, Chen Xiaohu, and Tang Xiaolong are the descendants of the three monks. I was curious at the time, there are many lay disciples in Shaolin, where did he come from such an accurate guess? Come here? But he only said that he once saw the future scene in the illusion. To be honest, I have never thought about the cause and effect of this, but after listening to you just now, I understand a little bit."

When Wan Shun said this, he glanced at Xiaohu whose face was turning pale, the corners of his lips curved like a smile and a sarcasm.

"You said that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures piled up in the place where you rescued Hua Xiaolan. That should be the Infernal Abyss, where the Black Fox Gang stores the looted property. The three of you strayed there by mistake. At first, you didn't attract attention, but The four-hour trek has already approached the core. So when you and Tang Xiaolong find the Wheel of Time, you must be followed by members of the Black Fox Gang—or even, the one who followed you in should be the Black Fox King."

Xiaohu obviously couldn't accept such a fact for a while, he immediately questioned: "But if we enter the wheel of time separately, how can we ensure that the people who follow us are the same as what we see?"

Wan Shun was indifferent to Xiaohu's excitement, he just took out half of a pancake from his bag to satisfy his hunger, and then continued leisurely: "The wheel of time has both Yin and Yang sides, from Yin to Yang to the future, from Yang to Yin to the past Regardless of the time difference, you are going to the same future, that is, the future where the Black Fox King rules the world, so what difference will there be?"

So Xiaohu lost his voice.

"This broken thing is harder than a rock..." Wan Shun chewed the cake and muttered, "In short, the Black Fox King knows that his great career will be smooth sailing, but he is not sure what Hua Xiaolan's existence means to this. But the fact that the three of you were separated and he was unstoppable reminded him of the legend of the descendants of the three warrior monks. It happened that I went to the door at that time, and he appointed me to go to Shaolin Temple to verify his identity. guess."

I see……

Xiaohu wryly smiled and chewed on the truth that was ten years late: I never thought that Lan was targeted by the Black Fox King because of the negligence of himself and Xiaolong... I never thought that what I thought was changing the future was actually creating the future... …

Wan Shun knew that he was not having a good time at this time, so he stopped talking and concentrated on gnawing on the frozen mustache in his hand that was hard as a stone.

Of course, today's Chen Xiaohu is not what it used to be, so Wan Shun didn't wait too long before he recovered: "I still have a few things I don't understand, I hope Master Wan Shun can clarify my doubts for me."

"It's not easy for Chief Chen to be sober after knowing that his young friend has fallen into the devil's way because of his evil."

Wan Shun's sarcasm made Xiao Hu frowned fiercely, and he pursed his lips tightly, trying to calm himself down: "If I don't offend you, I still want to know why, as the imperial fortune-teller, you would The Black Fox King works, and depending on how familiar you are with the Black Fox Gang, it is obviously not something that will happen overnight."

"Why?" Wan Shun asked back, as if he had heard something extremely funny.

Maybe it was because the mustache was too choking, so he took out his wine bag and took a few sips until his cheeks were flushed before looking at Xiaohu again: "If there is no Black Fox King, what do you think I am a mountain villager? Become the imperial fortune teller?"

Xiaohu realized that this should belong to Wan Shun's story, so he apologized first: "I understand, how offensive."

"Why? I've held back this matter for a long time. It's okay if you want to know. I'll release it." Wan Shun looked indifferent. He poked his head out of the carriage, looked around pretendingly, and then lowered his head. The voice asked: "Do you know that the Black Fox King took a woman and was reborn?"

Xiaohu nodded: "I know."

"That woman...is my wife."

"--what?!"

Xiaohu's shocked speechless reaction obviously pleased Wan Shun. He laughed out of breath for a while, then stopped smiling abruptly, lowered his eyes and began to mutter to himself——

"Our two families have lived on that mountain for generations. I am a fortune teller like my father, and she is a salary worker like her father. The magic town clock is considered a sacred object in the village, and it is unavoidable to worship it on New Year's Day. What happened? That day was no different from usual, but I waited for a long time at home and couldn't see her back, so I had to go up the mountain to look for her, but..."

He paused, and then the corners of his lips raised a self-deprecating arc, "It should be said that when the Black Fox King just escaped from the Town Demon Clock, he was quite kind and easy to get along with. He told me very politely that my wife is dead. , he is willing to pay some price to compensate me, but I have to tell him everything about the Town Demon Clock—after that, and as you know, I learned innate divination, gradually became famous in the world, and finally entered the palace, Become the imperial fortune teller."

"So, I owe everything to him, so why is it so strange to be loyal to him? Is Chief Chen satisfied with this answer?"

Xiaohu nodded in agreement.

He went on to ask: "The second question, if the black fox king's arrest of fortune-tellers was to pave the way for you to escape from the court, but you pretended to be arrested and used the book of power as a bait to eliminate the black fox king's plan. What's going on, can you sneak into the Shaolin Temple?"

"Bah!" Wan Shun spat out the beard that was about to choke him to death when he heard the words, and seemed to be very indignant, "The original plan was absolutely seamless. I thought that the Queen Mother would go to Shaolin Temple in the name of praying for blessings. At the same time, the Black Fox King I began to arrest the fortune-teller everywhere, and after I heard the news, I was captured by the black fox soldiers and disappeared logically. But the prince! That arrogant boy!"

When he said this, he spat on the ground again: "He thought that he could subdue that demon with mere explosives, so he sent Wang Daosen and a bunch of big-headed soldiers to accompany me to show off. Later, Sanzang and you three The kid got involved again. Fortunately, the Black Fox King unexpectedly and patiently accompanied me through the whole scene, and I finally had the opportunity to enter the Shaolin Temple. I was thinking about using tracking and eavesdropping or something like that method, but fortunately, you three boys came to me for divination, and I asked Sanzang straightforwardly, the right time, place and people, it was effortless."

Xiaohu faintly felt that the Wanshun in front of him was far from what he remembered. Not only was he overly lively, but what he said often made him have the urge to beat others violently.But he still managed to calm down.

After taking a few deep breaths, he asked again: "The last question, since the plan failed, how did the emperor let you go?"

Wan Shun didn't reply right away when he heard the words, he finally finished eating the deadly mustache, and after drinking a few sips of wine, he raised his head and looked at Xiaohu with a bit of slyness in his eyes: "The golden cicada escapes its shell."

Xiaohu wondered, "Why?"

Speaking of this, Wan Shun seemed quite proud, and said with a smile: "When I returned to the court, I lied that I was seriously injured in the fight with the Black Fox Gang, and I could no longer divination. Of course, the emperor has nothing to do with a useless person." reason to stay."

"But why doesn't the emperor think that you lied in order to return to hermitage, and then became angry and killed you?" Xiaohu wondered.

Wan Shun laughed again: "Of course it is possible. So just in case, with the help of the Black Fox King, I changed my appearance with another person. Even if the emperor wanted to kill him, he would not take mine." Fortunately, he did not kill them all, but let me go to Wala as a small official to fend for myself. This is also considered an iron rice bowl, so I didn't run away, and stayed in Wala with peace of mind. If it wasn't for General Tang When the documents are handed over to the mansion, they may die here forever."

"That's how it is... Wait! Changed appearance?!"

Xiaohu widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard the words, and the person on the opposite side finally laughed and fell on the carriage: "Hahahaha, Chief Chen's reaction can't be said to be unpleasant, that's right, I'm not Wan Shun, the real Wan Shun met a long time ago At that time, I was let go by you."

Being calculated... Thinking of the coachman who ran away, Xiaohu almost gritted his silver teeth.

The author has something to say: If you have already read this chapter, then it’s okay to read some of the author’s original settings|????)っ?

In fact, it’s a setting, it’s just that the author has cleared up the bugs in the article that don’t match the original work, it’s a personal fault, but for those who are more serious about love, this is just a little bit of filling in the incomplete worldview of the Chinese kid, and it’s actually very interesting clatter--

1. The principle of the wheel of time traveling

The travel setting of the wheel of time is made up by the author. If you look carefully, you will find that the tiger and dragon travel in the same direction as the animation, so here is the bug of this article.

2. Why do fake Wanshun talk so much nonsense with Xiaohu?

Because Zhen Wanshun sold the whereabouts of Xiaohu and Xiaolong, he didn't know if the Xiaohu he found would take his anger out on him or even kill him, so he left a fake delay.But how does this fake Wanshun know so many things?Half of it is what Wanshun told him, and the other half is what will be written in the following chapters

3. Why write Wanshun's past

In the world view set by the author, the black fox king was defeated by the god king, and the three monks subdued the demons were the lies of the god king whitewashing peace.But in the 18th episode of the animation "Ghost House", the biggest fear in the black fox king's heart reflected by the ghost who can understand the weakness of the human heart is the three monks, because they are the ones who defeated the black fox king. contrary to established worldviews.

So the author wants to write about Wanshun's past.

In the author's setting, the black fox king sealed his power and memory after being defeated by the god king, which means that he did not know his identity after escaping from the magic clock, so he wanted to ask Wan Shun if he escaped The first person to see after leaving the seal.All he knew about himself was what Wan Shun told him most, except for what he would slowly remember as his strength recovered in the future.However, Wanshun's ancestors lived on the mountain where Zhenmo Bell is located. The legend of the three monks defeating demons has been passed down from generation to generation, so the half-amnesiad Black Fox King thought that the three monks were the ones who defeated him back then.

What the Black Fox King fears most is the person who defeated him back then, so it is reasonable for him to see the three monks in the ghost house: that is what he thought, not the fact.

4. Explanation about the timeline

In the first episode of the animation, Xiaolong's father said, "In the past two days, there have been many gangsters claiming to be loyal to the Black Fox King and making trouble everywhere."

In the last episode of the animation, Xiaolong once said that Wan Shun had told his fortune for him when he was a child.

However, in the author's setting, Wan Shun made his fortune after the Black Fox King escaped from the seal, so there is a problem of time inconsistency.

Let's start by saying "the last two days".

In the first episode, the Black Fox King Duoshe was reborn, and then Sanzang took Xiaolan to Kaifeng, and Fu Yin said that "the Black Fox Gang has risen recently". The time interval seems to be very short, but it is actually unreasonable.

The Black Fox King wants to build a team that can make waves, such as the "last two days" explained in the lines, it is impossible. After all, the time is too short. In terms of thinking in real life, I want to get enough masks and uniforms And weapons are very difficult, and when the Black Fox Gang appeared, they had neat uniforms and complete weapons, which must have gone through a process of development.So you might as well call Mr. Fu Yin's lines as "the last two years". The two-year period is enough for the Black Fox Gang to grow.

Next, let's talk about Xiaolong's "childhood".

The ages of the three protagonists are all around 12 years old. For the sake of the timeline in this article, I set this 12 years old as the initial age in the animation, which is the age of the three protagonists at the beginning of the first episode.

The passage of time is not specifically explained in the animation, but there are still changes in seasons, so I set the winter clothes once as a year has passed. In the animation, the winter clothes were changed three times in episodes 3, 17, and 19. According to the tree planting problem Based on the algorithm, we know that the time for the 26 episodes of animation is about 4 years.That is, when they met Wan Shun, the three protagonists were around 16 years old.

Before the story begins, the Black Fox Gang developed for two years, and if Wan Shun started to develop after the Black Fox King broke out of the seal, then it is still possible to become a fortune teller with a reputation enough to alarm the emperor in one year, then at this time Xiaolong is 11 years old.

So when Xiaolong was 16 years old, he talked about Wan Shun's fortune-telling for his 11-year-old self, and it was reasonable to call it "when he was a child".

Finally, declare the ages of the three protagonists in this article.

According to the author’s algorithm, the three protagonists were about 16 years old in the last episode, and “ten years” was mentioned more than once in this article, because the author set the initial time of this article to be the time when the animation ended ten years later.

So at this time, the three protagonists are all about 26 years old.

5. The whole process of Xiaolan being captured in this article

This chapter is a bit messy, but it’s actually explaining why Tiger Dragon travels back to save Xiaolan through the wheel of time, but Lan still works for the Black Fox King ten years after this timeline.

Because I am afraid that some comrades may be more entangled, so I will sort it out for everyone. If you are not interested, you can skip this paragraph:

The three of Hu, Long and Lan strayed into the Infernal Abyss, which attracted the attention of the black fox soldiers. When the two of them entered the wheel of time, the Black Fox King followed closely. He saw that he would rule the Central Plains in the future, and at the same time, Lan became his subordinate. This incident made him suspicious of the identities of the three monks Hu Longlan, so he appointed Wan Shun to go to Shaolin Temple to verify whether Hu Longlan is the descendant of the three monks.

In order to help Wan Shun escape, the Black Fox King wanted to arrest the fortune-teller, which made the prince come up with a plan to use Wan Shun and the second volume of the power book as bait to eliminate the Black Fox King.During the implementation of the plan, Sanzang and Hulonglan accidentally got involved, the Black Fox King pretended to be subdued, and Wanshun was sent to Shaolin Temple after being injured.

Hu Longlan and the others asked him for fortune-telling, and he pretended to be mysterious and said "", and then pretended to ask casually when the three of them walked away and Sanzang and Wang Daosen entered the room, "The three of them are the descendants of that hero, right?" , Sanzang agreed, so the fact that Hulonglan was a descendant of the three monks was confirmed, and Wanshun's mission was completed.

So the Black Fox King got the message that his hegemony would come true in the near future, provided that the descendants of the three warrior monks could not unite against himself.

So the Black Fox King decided to use Ji to accept Lan as his subordinate. This is what he saw in the wheel of time, so he thought it was in accordance with the destiny.When Hulong Lan went out to explore Hongshan (the southern section of Taihang Mountain, it is indeed a volcano), he designed to let Lan fall into the magma, and faked the illusion that Lan was dead, but his original power was the most yin fire, so Lan who fell into the magma had no hair No injuries.After that, he made Lan take Wangyouguo, which made Lan forget everything about the past.In order for Lan to leave his familiar environment, he moved the Black Fox Gang to the south.
