This downhill path was not steep but rather long, Xiao Hui walked for a long time, it should be deep into the underground of Majestic Fox Mountain. It was also at this moment that Xiao Hui suddenly stopped in his tracks. Somewhere in the distance, a faint red light suddenly lit up.
The monkey stood in the passageway for a while, seemingly hesitant. After a while, it turned back to look at the path it had come from and scratched its head, as if hesitating whether it should go back and inform its master. However, the red light in front of it seemed to be tempting it, flickering gently.
Finally, after the monkey squeaked twice, it carefully moved forward.
As it neared that red light, the faint smell of blood in the path, slowly became stronger, Xiao Hui's expression also became nervous, stretched out its nose to sniff the air, its eyes bewildered. But in the end, the red light was right before it, it still moved forward.
Finally before the red light, it was actually another entrance of this tunnel, Xiao Hui peeked out from here and with a leap jumped out, the next moment, the monkey was already on a large road that was several times wider than the previous tunnel, other than the tunnel that Xiao Hui came in from, there was another tunnel that was connected to it, just beside the tunnel that Xiao Hui jumped down from but it was equally dark and gloomy, not knowing where it led to. And on the other side of the main path, it was completely different from the darkness in the tunnel, it was very bright, especially the red light flashing, flashing incessantly at the end of the main path, it seemed like what Xiao Hui saw from afar in the tunnel was this scene.
There was still no one around, even at the end of the bright red light, there were only flashes of light and no strange sounds. Xiao Hui sniffed the air, the smell of blood, was so strong that it would not dissipate. And after a moment, Xiao Hui's eyes suddenly froze, landed on the entrance that it had just entered from, the original green stone wall, without knowing when, had turned dark red, and the water slowly dripping from the damp places on the wall, in the light, looked extremely red, like fresh blood.
One drop, one drop, slowly dripping down!
The golden eye on Xiao Hui's forehead gradually brightened, after staring at that blood bead for a long while, it slowly turned around, looked at that flickering red light in the distance, after a long while, the monkey once again strided forward, walked towards that direction.
The red glow flickered strangely, as if it had a mind of its own. It gently breathed out and gradually expanded, engulfing the figure of the monkey that was slowly walking over.
It was already late at night, although one could not clearly feel the change of day and night in the Majestic Fox Mountain cave but outside the cave, the night sky was dotted with stars, starlight twinkling, like countless days of the past spilled over, also in the dark and barren Majestic Fox Mountain, illuminated some places.
Under the starlight, suddenly a white figure floated over from afar, light and graceful, looked weightless, like a leaf in the wind, blown over by the night wind, slowly landed on the Majestic Fox Mountain peak. Borrowing the faint starlight, this white graceful figure turned over, delicate eyebrows and watery eyes, fair skin, a faint seductive charm that made one's heart palpitate, lingering between her eyebrows, it was the Nine-tailed celestial fox Xiao Bai.
Right now, Xiao Bai's eyebrows were slightly frowning, her face also had a rare solemn expression, she stood on the Majestic Fox Mountain peak, the night wind blew gently, the surroundings were barren, not a single tree could block the wind, her robe fluttered, revealing her voluptuous and alluring figure. Xiao Bai slowly looked around, the Majestic Fox Mountain now, everywhere were rocks and gravel, not to mention trees, there was not even a single weed.
Looking at this desolate scenery, who would believe that just a few decades ago, this was still a beautiful place?
Others did not know but Xiao Bai knew, because the area around Majestic Fox Mountain, was where the fox demon clan ancestors originated and lived, she grew up here, the mountains and rivers, every grass and tree, to her, were all different from other places.
However, all of that had mysteriously disappeared at some point in time. All that was left was the desolation in front of him.
Xiao Bai slowly crouched down, stretched out her fair hand, gently grabbed a handful of soil, no, it should be sand, the Majestic Fox Mountain ground was cracked, leaving only gravel. The hard gravel spread out in her delicate hand, Xiao Bai carefully looked at the gravel in her hand, a strange glint flashed in her eyes, as if trying to see something from this small gravel.
After a while, she slowly closed her palm, clenched it into a fist, and gently loosened it. The sand quietly slid down from between her fingers, but in the air, it was blown away by the night wind from afar, reflecting a faint light under the starlight, disappearing into the dark distance under the curtain of night.
The gravel here, was no different from other places.
Xiao Bai slowly stood up, looked up at the starry sky, the starlight shone on her, like a gentle hand gently caressing her, comforting her.
She frowned slightly, pondered for a long time.
Suddenly, her eyes widened as if she had thought of something. However, she didn't make any big movements. Instead, she strangely lifted her leg and stomped heavily on the ground like a little girl in the secular world when she was angry and acted like a spoiled child.
[Pu!]
A deep muffled sound, sounded in the night wind, drifted with the wind, a wave of dust rose and then gently settled down in the wind. The next moment, suddenly from the ground below Xiao Bai's feet, a strange sound was heard, continuous and uninterrupted, rang for almost half a cup of tea's time and then gradually calmed down.
Xiao Bai's lips curled, her white body like duckweed, like being lifted up by the wind, extremely graceful but her pair of watery eyes, only stared at the ground below her feet, the next moment, her body in the air, suddenly spread out her sleeves, brushed towards the ground.
The brushing force was not small, even a few sharp whistling sounds were heard in the night sky, when the sleeves brushed past the ground, immediately sand and stones flew, dust flew. Whitey, who was in mid-air, did not stop. It waved its sleeves continuously. After waving seven times, the smoke and dust on the ground had already formed a small gray tornado. It was filled with gravel and sand. It rotated rapidly and swept up under the starry night sky.
Xiao Bai lightly whistled, her body abruptly pulled up by more than ten feet, under the starlight, her white figure floated like a fairy, dazzling and with another kind of seductive beauty. As her figure rose, the tornado formed by the sand was suddenly pulled up by an invisible force, but it suddenly blew in the opposite direction of Xiao Bai. The wind speed was so fast that in a short while, the wind pillar mixed with countless sand had completely fallen into the distance. Rumbling sounds continuously came from the darkness, presumably the sound of those stones smashing on the ground.
And under Xiao Bai's feet, where the original Majestic Fox Mountain peak was, a six chi wide, ten feet deep large hole, Xiao Bai's movements were able to dig such a large hole in the hard as iron mountain peak, this skill was already shocking but with her thousand years of cultivation as a nine-tailed celestial fox, it was not unexpected.
However, Little White clearly did not come to the top of the mountain to dig a hole in the middle of the night out of boredom. She slowly descended from mid-air and her eyes never left the hole. Her white figure directly floated into the deep hole. Once in the deep hole, Xiao Bai's descending speed immediately became extremely slow, as if there was something invisible supporting her body under her feet, and she also stared intently at the walls of the huge hole, using the faint starlight in the sky, focused.
Fair slender hands, pressed on the rough stone wall, formed a sharp contrast, a strange feeling but Xiao Bai did not seem to notice these, she only followed her own hands, followed her body as she slowly descended, carefully looked at the walls of the hole.
Reflected in her eyes, was a greenish grey stone wall, rough and hard, cold to touch. Then, as Xiao Bai's body slowly descended, her eyes also slowly descended, descended one chi, it was still greenish grey stone, no change at all, the same as the mountains above and in this world.
She continued to descend, her fair hands on the rock wall, gently descended, two chi deep, it was still the same greenish grey hard rock.
Three chi …
Four chi …
Five chi …
There was no change, it was still that hard rock, the cold feeling seemed to have been passed down for thousands of years, now suddenly seeing the light of day, from the rough surface of the rock wall, coldly exuded.
Xiao Bai's face did not have any expression, her body still gently descending, the next moment, suddenly, her eyes lit up, her body shook in the air, stopped.
On the rock wall six feet above the ground, next to her white palm, finally, the first abnormality appeared on the hard rock.
A faint red mark, like a tiny blood vessel, appeared on the rock.
Xiao Bai stared intently at the tiny red mark for a long time, suddenly her lips curled into a sneer and then her body slowly descended, her eyes still staring intently at the rock wall. As expected, as her figure gradually descended, more abnormalities appeared in front of her, the greenish grey rock that should have been harder the further down she went, now the deeper the cracks on the rock wall slowly increased and the colour of the rock also gradually deepened, slowly turning red, the red marks increased, the colour also became darker and darker. After reaching ten feet deep, Xiao Bai slowly turned and looked, in front of her, was already a dark red rock wall, thick cracks could be seen everywhere, and around her, the rock wall was no longer cold, instead it gave off a thick smell of blood.
That ghastly blood red, that kind of horror that was about to devour people!
Xiao Bai's eyes revealed an unconcealable look of disgust. With a cold snort, her figure moved and her white figure soared into the sky. She flew out of the cave and landed on the ground beside the deep pit. The starlight in the night shone down and once again landed on her white figure. Like water, it washed away the nightmarish scene from before.
Xiao Bai's face was indifferent, took a deep breath, faced the night breeze from afar, looked up at the sky. The next moment, she suddenly laughed coldly, quietly muttered to herself, "For thousands of years, there are always some people who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, want to do some stupid things, what will happen to them, let us see together, heh heh heh heh …"
The ice-cold laughter gently drifted in the night wind, drifting away with the wind, not knowing which corner of the world it drifted to. And under the curtain of the night, under the starlight, that beautiful white figure, still stood at the peak of the mountains, facing the wind, with a bit of breathtaking beauty, standing alone and lonely.
This late night, it seemed like there were also many people who could not sleep, as if something was lingering in their hearts and there was an inexplicable feeling, people always had some indescribable feeling.
In the Majestic Fox Mountain cave, Ghost Li and Mr Ghost were still concentrating on the astrolabe, they had already reached an extremely crucial moment, with Mr Ghost's profound knowledge, he had already managed to deduce a few of the ancient characters on the astrolabe, although he had yet to understand the astrolabe's mysteries but clearly it was already much better than before.
And in Ghost Li's nervousness, suddenly he sensed something, his eyes left the astrolabe for a moment, looked around, saw that it was empty, Xiao Hui had gone somewhere to play or perhaps found a place to sleep. A flash from the corner of his eyes, landed on the scroll beside him, was silent for a moment, seemed to recall something, a faint smile revealed on his lips.
Just that this smile although warm but disappeared very quickly, he gently shook his head, as if throwing away something that he should not be thinking about right now and then went back into that profound astrolabe.
In another place in the belly of Majestic Fox Mountain, in a quiet cold stone room, smoke gently drifted. BiYu was still sleeping quietly, and beside her, Ghost King quietly sat upright.
Grey hair hung down from his head, reminding him that he was already old, and the person sleeping beside him, made his heart ache even more. In such a late night, like the countless nights in these ten years, he did not feel sleepy.
He quietly waited, waited for dawn, waited for tomorrow, maybe, tomorrow, everything would really change!
His hand, unconsciously clenched, clenched into a fist.
Far away a thousand miles away, the same lonely and quiet night.
High up in Qing Yun Hill Small Bamboo Valley, the night wind howled, the bamboo swayed, Lu XueQi slowly sat up from the bed, this night, for some reason she could not sleep.
Tossing and turning, for whom?
She gently got off the bed, did not wear shoes, just walked barefoot on the ground, a chill came from the soles of her feet, the ground was as cool as water. She walked to the window and stretched out her hand to push it open. The starlight that filled the sky flowed like ripples and instantly spilled in, causing her beautiful face to shine even more brilliantly.
Lu XueQi quietly gazed at the stars in the horizon, motionless.
In such a late night, the person far away, was he also under the starry sky?
That faint starlight, did it also spilled on him?
She quietly gazed at the starry sky, did not move again, like, she was also anticipating something.
The starlight was faint but seemed eternal and unchanging, seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, seeing through gratitude and grudges, love and hatred.
Maybe, tomorrow will be better ….
In her heart, she quietly thought like this.
Tomorrow, what would it be like?
Nobody knew.
