Shen Luo, Hu Bugui, and the others bade farewell to the King of the Green Hill Kingdom and Advisor Su before leaving the palace.
"Mi Su, your Green Hill Fox Clan seems to be very dissatisfied with the humans and the immortals," Shen Luo said.
"This … Sigh, how should I put this? Our Green Hill Fox Clan has been a firm ally of the humans since ancient times, right? "Mi Su thought for a moment but still did not know where to begin, so she asked in return.
"That's right." Shen Luo nodded.
"However, I don't know when it started, but the humans gradually treated our alliance as nothing and began to categorize us as demons. I don't know when it started, but the humans took it for granted that we, the Green Hill Foxes, should live in the Valley of Morning Sun. They started to restrict and target us, not allowing our clan to spread to other places. "Mi Su's expression became serious as she spoke.
Shen Luo heard this and was slightly touched. This was because, from his subconscious, he also believed that the Green Hill Fox Clan should live in the Green Hill region.
It was nothing if one person thought this, but when this thought became the consensus of the human race, the situation was different.
"The Tang Empire's borders have been expanded to the outside of the Chaoyang Valley. No matter how many generations our clan has reproduced, our clan's land is limited to the Chaoyang Valley. Once we leave, we will be violating the Tang Empire's borders. Under such circumstances, not only the elders in the clan, but also many of the youths in the clan have developed dissatisfaction with the Tang Empire, the humans, and even the immortals, "Mi Su said.
"Humans and demons have different paths, humans and demons have different paths!" Hu Bugui heard this and muttered.
Shen Luo heard this and fell silent. He sighed softly in his heart.
"Actually, not everyone is like this. At the very least, the King and some elders are still unwilling to go to war with the humans. After all, this rare peace is more important," Mi Su said with a smile.
Shen Luo could also see this point. This was a manifestation of the Green Hill Fox Clan's compromise.
Soon, the three of them returned to Advisor Su's residence.
"Misu, Granny Qiu and the others are your retainers, right?" Shen Luo asked.
"Yes. My parents passed away when I was young. It was Granny Qiu and the others who took care of me while I was growing up." Mentioning this, Mi Su's mood became a little gloomy.
"Since we are already here, can you take us to their residence?" Shen Luo asked.
Mi Su thought for a moment and said, "Their residence … Okay. We can go there before grandma comes back."
Under Mi Su's lead, Shen Luo's group of three quickly arrived at a side courtyard of the mansion.
The courtyard wasn't big, but it was very clean and tidy. The furnishings in the house were also very simple. Shen Luo and the other two didn't spend much effort to explore it, but the result was that they didn't find anything.
Shen Luo was not surprised by this result. He did not have much hope in the first place.
In the evening, Mi Su treated Shen Luo and the other two to a fox feast. They also temporarily forgot about the unhappiness during the day.
When the full moon rose above the treetops, Mi Su yelled that she wanted to take Shen Luo and the others to see the Hidden Moon Lake.
Shen Luo and Hu Bugui couldn't refuse her kindness. They could only be dragged out of the door by the little girl.
Under the moonlight in the Green Hill Kingdom, the stone buildings everywhere reflected a hazy glow. There were only a few lights in the city. There were very few pedestrians on the streets. It was very quiet.
As Shen Luo walked, his mood also relaxed a little.
The three of them went out of the city gate with the warrant that Mi Su took from her grandma. They walked all the way into a coniferous forest.
They passed through the tall and dense coniferous forest. Before they walked out of the forest, they saw a sparkling white light in front of them. They quickened their pace and rushed over.
The moment they walked out of the coniferous forest, their vision suddenly opened up. A shallow beach paved with white pebbles appeared in front of them.
After the shallow beach, there was a vast lake. It was shaped like a crescent moon and reflected the moonlight.
The full moon in the sky was reflected in the lake. It didn't cast a round reflection. Instead, it seemed to be broken into pieces, turning into countless light traces that covered the entire lake.
A gentle breeze blew across the surface of the lake, causing fine ripples to appear on the surface of the lake. The moonlight that was scattered on the surface of the lake began to sway along with it. As the sparkling light shone, it was reflected on the mountain wall on the other side of the lake.
The mountain wall seemed to have been cut by a knife or an axe. It was flat and smooth. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it seemed to have turned into another lake. It contrasted well with the full moon in the sky and the moonlight in the water.
Shen Luo noticed that on the mountain wall, there were three big words engraved. It was the name of the lake: "Hidden Moon Lake".
"Mi Su, this water area is not small. It should be enough to be called a lake, right? Why is it called Hidden Moon Lake? "Shen Luo asked.
"This place wasn't called Hidden Moon Lake before, but Qingqiu Lake. It echoes the Qingqiu Mountain behind it. Later, a human swordsman came to our tribe as a guest and changed the name." Mi Su said.
"How can there be such a guest who changes the name of the host family's territory?" Shen Luo laughed.
"I heard from Granny Qiu … she said that the human swordsman was very ambitious. He said that he had seen a lake very similar to Qingqiu Lake in Yunzhou of the Tang Dynasty. The water area was ten times larger than this one. It was called Hidden Moon Lake. The scenery here is not bad. It can be called Hidden Moon Lake. After that, he used the strength of alcohol to carve these words on the cliff wall. "Mi Su paused and said.
"No wonder these words don't look like gold or stone carvings. Instead, there are faint remnants of sword Qi." Shen Luo clicked his tongue.
Mi Su sighed and said, "Sigh, at first, the clan members were very angry. But who asked that man to have such an outstanding appearance? That day, his clothes were whiter than snow, and he had an indescribable air of elegance. Many young ladies in the clan secretly fell in love with him. After he left, they secretly called it 'Quiet Moon Lake'. Gradually, the name Green Hill Lake was forgotten."
"This lake is shaped like a crescent moon and is full of moonlight. It is more charming than the true moon in the sky. This name is not bad." Hu Bugui also looked at the three big words and praised.
The three of them looked at the lake and the moon, enjoying a rare moment of peace. Shen Luo's expression suddenly changed.
He turned his head to look at Hu Bugui beside him and found that there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"This aura … seems to be the same as that of the giant fox shadow that caused a ruckus in Chang 'an." Hu Bugui frowned.
"What are you talking about?" Mi Su asked with a puzzled expression.
"Over there," Shen Luo did not answer, but his eyes suddenly focused and looked at the mountain peak far behind them.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately extended his body and chased in that direction.
"Brother Shen, you can't go over there …" Mi Su was shocked and hurriedly shouted.
