Collect all nine fox tails to summon the dragon?

Chapter 80 Big Black Wolf [5]

"Little cage..."

"Little cage?"

"Little cage!"

For a while, Xiaolong felt that she had a long, long dream, and for a while she felt that she had walked a long, long way. This feeling was repeated again and again, like a dream but not a dream, just like when she was a child For a moment I feel like a fox, and for a moment I feel like a black wolf.

But whether in a dream or on the road that never ends, Xiaolong can hear Su Chi's voice, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes ethereal, sometimes real.

Su Chi, is that you?

Are you by my side?

But I can't see you.

I only saw a middle-aged uncle carrying a load of goods. He seemed to be in a good mood, and he was so happy when he shouted about his hand-issued cards, as if he never knew sorrow.

When the shopkeeper uncle wobbled past Xiaolong with his load on his shoulders, Xiaolong turned his head curiously, and found that the uncle had a big gray fluffy tail on his buttocks.

"Uncle!" Xiao Cage reminded, "Your tail is exposed!"

The shopkeeper looked back at his buttocks, and said with a smile, "It's really exposed." He raised his head and glanced at Xiaolong, and suddenly said, "Little girl, isn't your tail also exposed?"

Xiao Long also turned her head to look at her butt, and she saw a big black wolf's tail behind her. She was surprised: "Eh? When did I grow a wolf's tail?"

"You are a wolf, so it's only natural to have a wolf's tail?" The shopkeeper put down his burden, walked around the small cage, and said with a startled smile: "Speaking of which, why do you look a little like me in wolf fur? "

"Because my mother is in love with you, Uncle Wolf." Xiaolong blurted out this sentence, but he was dumbfounded, "Eh? Why do I know you?"

"That's right, when your mother was dying, I exchanged wolf's heart with her. I exchanged her to live forever, and she exchanged me for an adult. This is the fairest deal in the world." The shopkeeper laughed for a long time. , and then asked: "What are you doing in the Ten Thousand Monster Tomb?"

"I... I don't know... I walked here and came here." Xiaolong replied.

The shopkeeper seemed to have heard some joke, and he laughed loudly, "Where can you walk to Wanyaozhong? You want to come to Wanyaozhong wholeheartedly, and Wanyaozhong attracted you here! "

Xiaolong blinked and looked at the tail of the shopkeeper.

Uncle shopkeeper wagged his tail and asked, "You have a tail yourself, why do you keep staring at mine?"

Xiao Long said awkwardly: "Although I have a wolf's tail, I also have a fox's tail. I don't know. Am I a wolf or a fox?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Since you have a wolf's tail and a fox's tail, when you want to be a wolf, you become a wolf, and when you want to be a fox, you become a fox. Isn't that very simple? "

"It's not simple at all." Xiao Long shook his head and repeated timidly, "It's not simple."

"Why isn't it simple anymore?" Uncle the salesman renewed his courage, creaking and walking towards his own path, "Think about why you turned into a wolf, don't you know?"

Xiaolong turned her head to see the uncle peddler staggering away, and finally disappeared, and then turned around, but when she turned around, a cold and strange wolf face was close to her eyes, which startled her.

Xiaolong blinked, and recognized that this wolf face was himself—himself transformed into a wolf demon queen.

"Why should I become you?" Xiao Cage stared at his other self in the world, asked himself and answered, "Because I want to protect them."

Because I want to protect them, I need power - but with power, I will hurt them.

So, why do I want to be a fox?

Because when I become a fox, I can get along with everyone easily and happily, become their relatives and friends, and even fall in love with others—but not everything in this world is easy and happy, and people always have to experience hardships and challenges. Frustration, if I just indulge in the fox's good time, I can only watch them get hurt.

"Do I want to be a fox forever," Xiao Long asked the wolf demon who was facing him, "or become you?"

The wolf demon didn't answer her, but turned around, hunched his tall and rugged back, and walked forward slowly.

Xiao Cage looked behind him.

The old gray wolf who said everything was simple but passed on the most difficult things to himself has long since ceased to exist.

Xiao Long could only follow the wolf demon, and also walked forward.

The wolf demon took Xiaocang and walked down a small hill one after the other.

On the top of the hill there is a peach blossom tree that is rapidly decaying and withering. From the root to the branches, to each peach blossom, it is a kind of death that is destructive, and no force can stop its demise.

Under the peach blossom tree, a young man in a state of embarrassment was digging the earth with all his strength, just like digging someone's ancestral grave.

"...Father?" Xiao Cage recognized the man.

There were two women at the foot of the hillside, one was crawling towards the hillside covered in blood, and the other was standing behind her with desolate eyes.

"Mom?" Xiao Cage looked at the woman behind him.

The earth shook, thousands of monsters howled, and the whole world seemed to be held in the palm of the hand by the god of death, kneading and crushing, and doing whatever they wanted.

"The Tomb of the Thousand Monsters is about to collapse." Xiaolong looked up at the Scarlet World without any panic, because she knew that there was a white fox buried under the hillside that once single-handedly created the Wonderland of the Thousand Monsters' Tomb, and there was also a white fox standing on the top of the hillside. The green fox who will finally give the true ending to the Wan Yao Tomb.

They are all legendary nine-tailed foxes whose strength is unparalleled.

Xiao Long looked at the tearful young mother beside him, feeling slightly puzzled.

The mother in her memory is a brave and fearless wolf demon. Although she is a half-monster, her strength, courage and calm wisdom have made her own legend. Since she was born in a small cage, she has been a god-like existence.

Xiao Cage had never seen her crying and helpless.

The wolf demon who brought the little cage here silently stood behind his mother. He looked down at his mother with a focused and compassionate expression, as if looking at his own past.

Xiaolong's mind had never been so confused. She felt that the headache was unbearable, so she pressed her head and squatted down on the spot.

All kinds of sounds rolled back and forth in her little mind. There were people talking, birds chirping and insects chirping, wild dogs chasing rabbits all over the mountains and plains, muffled thunder and rain, vehicles with their horns on and the TV on. Merchandise and music in commercials.

"Woo!" Xiaolong felt that the noise was unbearable. She covered her ears and opened her mouth wide in pain.

Who will help her?

Who will stop these voices?

A pair of hands covered Xiaolong's hands, covering her ears together with her.

All the voices of the world disappeared.

Xiao Cage raised his head in a daze.

Su Chi squatted in front of her, looking at herself casually, she said: "If you feel sorry for me, go face the wall and think about it, think about why a person who said he would protect me almost broke my arm in the end." neck."

Xiaolong remembered the conversation he had with Su Chi.

Sure enough, Su Chi pursed his lips, and said: "Although life in a cage is monotonous and depressing, at least it is safe, but it is impossible for a person to live in a cage forever, especially for those who yearn for a distant place." Su Chi pointed to Xiaolong and said, "Arm this place. The world is too big for a mind too small."

Just when Xiaolong thought that Su Zhi would not speak again, Su Zhi suddenly changed his expression and said seriously: "Xiaolong, injury will make people grow, but growth does not mean all injuries. The reason why you want to Come to Wanyaozhong, because this is the place where you were really born. Whether it is a wolf or a fox, the you that you look like now started to sprout from here, so you have to come back here. Before the meaning of the existence of the two forces, you have no way to control them, you can only be controlled by them!"

"What are you talking about?" The surrounding illusion disappeared, and they were still at the boundary line between hell and heaven in the Ten Thousand Demon Tomb, but Su Chi rushed to the dull-looking wolf demon as if he suddenly understood something, and pulled It spoke a long paragraph, but the little Taoist didn't understand it at all, so he walked over and asked, "In its current state, it can't hear what you are saying at all, and how do you know that what you said is correct?"

"Didn't you tell me?" Su Chi asked the little Taoist priest, "You said that the white bones on the hillside were nine-tailed foxes, didn't you?"

The little Taoist said depressedly: "It's a nine-tailed fox, yes, but..."

Su Chi then asked again: "You said this is the Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, but the people you see here are also demons, right?"

The little Taoist didn't understand what Su Chi wanted to ask, so he nodded and replied, "That's right, but..."

Su Chi didn't give the little Taoist priest a chance to ask questions at all, and asked again: "Then the person we saw selling cards earlier is also a wolf demon?"

The little Taoist was completely stunned this time, "How do you know?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Su Chi's face glowed with a look that she hadn't seen for a long time. She said happily and firmly: "The illusions we have seen are illusions summoned by Xiaolong based on the memories of the Wan Yao Tomb! She She is looking for answers, and she is also passing on clues to me, she knows that I am by her side, so she wants me to help her!"

The little Taoist was at a loss as to what to understand, so he could only ask: "Then what you told her just now is for..."

"Go back to the source!" Su Zhi said firmly: "I once told Xiaolong that to become strong, her heart must be firm first. Qian Fan also said that Xiaolong's mother exchanged with the wolf demon before she died. Because of this, her mother actually has no heart, and because of this, Xiao Cage also felt that she lacked something since she was born. Xiao Cage turned into a wolf demon in order to save Su Qiu, and this time she couldn't control herself from becoming a wolf demon again. Back to the fox, this problem that has troubled her for more than 20 years has reached the point where she cannot escape, so she chooses to face it, that's why the wolf demon came back here!"

Su Zhi spoke quickly, but the little Taoist still didn't understand, so, "...and then?"

Su Chi didn't talk to the little Taoist anymore, but returned to the wolf demon, held its face in his hands, and said firmly, "Xiao Long, I know you can hear my voice, talk to me!"

---

"Xiao Long, I know you can hear my voice, talk to me!" Su Chi, who was squatting in front of him, was still talking, as if he would never stop until he got a reply.

Xiao Cage opened his mouth and asked hoarsely, "...Say...what?"

"Say whatever you want." Su Chi said happily.

Xiaolong looked around her, the whole world was blank, she thought for a while, and finally said: "... Su Chi, I saw my mother, she was the same age as you are now, only 20 years old, He hasn't turned into a wolf demon yet, he's still just a human being."

Su Chi nodded and asked, "What do you think of her?"

Xiao Long thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and said dejectedly: "...she is very sad."

Su Chi touched Xiaolong's cold and frustrated face, and said softly, "I know why she is sad, because there are too many things that she can't do anything about, so she is sad."

Xiao Long nodded, and let out an extremely aggrieved "hmm".

Su Chi asked distressedly, "Xiao Long, what are you confused about?"

"...Su Chi...I used to think that I liked being a fox, but if I really liked the fox myself, then I wouldn't become a wolf demon...Whether it's a fox or a wolf demon, it's actually my own Choose..." Xiaolong spread his hands, sobbing and said: "I like myself who was liked by everyone when I was a fox, but I also hope that I have the power of a wolf demon. I don't want to be like my young mother, I can't do anything about many things, but I don't want to become a brutal and violent wolf demon and hurt you."

Su Chi wiped away tears for her, and smiled softly: "Fool, who said that when you were a fox, everyone liked you? I didn't like you at first, have you forgotten?"

When Xiaolong heard this, he was even more sad.

Su Chi smiled and said: "Fool, who told you that when you become a wolf demon, you will definitely hurt us? Didn't I follow you here safely all the way?"

As soon as Xiaolong was reminded, he quickly grabbed Su Chi's hands, checked her up and down, and was relieved when he found that there was indeed no missing arm or broken leg.

Su Chi thought this behavior was so silly and cute, she leaned over and hugged Xiao Long, and said with a smile: "This matter is neither as complicated nor as simple as you think. Everyone wants to keep their childhood forever All the good qualities you have in life, but everything you face after you grow up will force you to change, such as study, employment, salary, promotion, marriage, mortgage... Everyone has learned to hide the knife with a smile, learn to intrigue, and learn to bow down, but what can you do? Behind these people who have learned to separate themselves, there must be someone they are trying to protect, and someone who can keep their childlike innocence. In this world, many babies are born every day, and many old people pass away. In this life, people will inevitably hurt someone, and they will always protect someone carefully."

"I seem to understand what you mean." Xiaolong said softly: "I shouldn't force myself to choose between a fox and a wolf demon. After all, whether it's a fox or a wolf, it's actually me."

Don't reject the black precipitation because of the purity of white, and don't deny the brightness of white because of the silence of black.

Su Chi rubbed her hair, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile, "...fool."
