Chapter 207 Xuannv 71
"Brother, you guys..." Jiaojiao's voice was trembling, and her eyes followed the little fox closely as it turned into smoke and disappeared. Her eyes were slightly red, and her heart seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, full of reluctance and melancholy.
"It's okay, he's just like that, don't worry about him." Zi Tong frowned slightly, but there was a bit of doting in his eyes. He also looked at the place where the little fox disappeared, and his eyes became deep and distant. "These years, if he hadn't been by my side, I really can't imagine what would have happened to me. He is like a lone lamp in the dark night. Although the light is weak, it is enough to illuminate the way forward for me in the endless darkness, supporting me through one moment after another when I was almost collapsing. Every time I wanted to give up, it was his seemingly careless but extremely firm company that allowed me to regain my strength."
"Brother, hold on, the dawn is coming, believe me." Jiaojiao eagerly grabbed Zitong's arm, her fingers turning white due to the force. Her eyes were wide open, the light in her eyes was like a burning flame, it was an unquestionable firmness, like the brightest star in the night sky, shining straight into Zitong's heart, trying to dispel the haze that followed him deep in his heart.
"Yes, I know." Zi Tong nodded slightly, his gaze retracted from afar and fell on Jiaojiao's energetic face, and a gentle smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Jiaojiao's head, his movements as gentle as treating the most precious treasure in the world. "You may not know my ability yet. I once saw a little fox in a vision of the future. It looked exactly like you. I know that it was you. Although I cannot fully understand everything you have experienced over the years, I can guess a little. You must have suffered a lot, just like I did when I was struggling on the road of cultivation. Every time I see you practicing alone in the corner, your thin but tough figure reminds me of myself in the past. How can I not understand the hardship of being bound by fate, restricted by blood, but unwilling to give up, and struggling to move forward?"
"It's not hard, brother. I'm doing well." Jiaojiao tried to raise her lips and show the brightest smile, but the smile was trembling slightly and tears were flashing in her eyes. She didn't want her brother to worry about her. Even though those days of cultivation were full of cold eyes and ridicule, and filled with countless falls and pains, she wanted to show her best side to her brother.
"Needless to say, I know. I've been through this before. I know how we with low bloodlines practiced. That feeling of difficulty is like walking through a bush of thorns, with every step bleeding. The feeling of being despised and laughed at is like a cold wind that stings our hearts again and again. So you, it's really hard." Zi Tong's eyes were full of pity. His hand was like a breeze, gently brushing across the fair hair. That movement was filled with endless tenderness and care, as if he wanted to pass all his warmth to this strong little sister, just like comforting a little beast that was injured in the wind and rain but was extremely stubborn.
Jiaojiao stood there quietly, frowning slightly, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, and murmured to herself: "The future? Can senior brother's ability be to predict the future?" This question kept circling in her mind, like a restless little bird, tickling her heart.
Zi Tong nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "It is foreknowledge, but this foreknowledge has helpless limitations. Facing the sufferings experienced by the Purple Fox Clan, it is useless. I can only vaguely sense that they have suffered, but I cannot know the specific circumstances, let alone predict how this suffering will develop. Fortunately, the ending is good, which can be regarded as a kind of consolation."
Jiaojiao pursed her lips, stared at Zitong without blinking, and continued to ask: "What about you, Senior Brother? Have you used this ability to see your future? And Master, what will your future be like?"
Zi Tong's eyes dimmed instantly, as if covered by a layer of haze. He took a deep breath and said in a cold and straightforward tone: "We have no future." These few simple words, like a heavy hammer, created a dead silence in the air.
Jiaojiao stood there in a daze, her face red and white, she felt that the question she had just asked was like a sharp sword, piercing her brother's heart, and the embarrassment instantly drowned her like a surging tide. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and she was very upset about her recklessness and ignorance.
"Uh, Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I..." Jiaojiao spoke with difficulty, her voice as small as a mosquito. Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes were full of self-blame, but the following words seemed to be pressed heavily on the tip of her tongue by a huge rock, and she couldn't utter them. She kept blaming herself in her heart, why can't she speak so well? This extremely stupid question is like an ignorant child rubbing salt on an adult's wound, cruel and accurate, so childish and ridiculous, and so hurtful and hateful.
"It's okay, Jiaojiao," Zitong frowned slightly, then relaxed, with a barely perceptible bitterness in his eyes. He waved his hand gently, as if to dispel the awkward and heavy atmosphere in the air. He tried to raise the corners of his mouth upwards, pulling out a slightly far-fetched smile, and said in his usual gentle voice: "Everything in the world is destined, I will be fine." His words were like a gentle breeze, carrying the power of soothing, trying to dispel Jiaojiao's full of guilt and uneasiness, just like every time he made a mistake in the past, Zining always used tolerance to tolerate his unintentional mistakes.
“Jiaojiao, you have been here for a long time. The past is like a passing cloud. There is no need to dwell on it anymore. Our gaze should be firmly directed towards the distance, because only by looking forward can you go further in this long journey.” Zi Tong looked at Jiaojiao deeply and said seriously, his eyes full of concern and expectation.
"Everything he said before was true, but he didn't tell you everything. Now, let me fill you in on the details." Zi Tong looked at Jiao Jiao intently, with an unquestionable seriousness in his eyes.
"Okay, senior brother." Jiaojiao's expression was stern. She knew in her heart that she had indeed stayed here for a long time. If she delayed any further, it might arouse suspicion from others. It was time to make plans early.
"Bai Zhi doesn't know of my existence, he only knows the situation of another person. Every time he meets Bai Zhi, that person comes forward to deal with it. What I can tell you is only the part I know, and the rest of the way is up to you." Zi Tong said slowly, his voice echoing in the air, and there seemed to be a solemn atmosphere quietly spreading.
"Jiaojiao, you have to know that there are still old, weak, women and children in our Purple Fox clan trapped in that mysterious secret realm. I know in my heart that although Bai Zhi has not found a way to open the secret realm, I have no idea about the survival of the people in the clan. This is like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart." Zi Tong frowned, his eyes full of worry, "The blood of the Purple Fox clan is the root of opening the secret realm. This is the secret of our clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. However, it is not easy to find the secret realm. You must wait for the red moon to appear. The red moon is different from the ordinary moonlight. It carries a mysterious power. Only when the red moon hangs high in the night sky can you act. At that time, you must rely on the jade pendant given to you by your master. The jade pendant has a magical guiding power. You can find the location of the secret realm by following the direction it guides. And when you arrive at the entrance of the secret realm, you want to enter To enter, you only need to use your blood. The blood of our Purple Fox clan has a wonderful connection with that secret realm, and your blood is the key to it. Once you enter, the clan members will see the purple jade pendant given to you by the master, and they will know your identity. That is the symbol of our identity and the bond between us and the clan members. "Zi Tong took a deep breath and continued, "However, you must remember that as long as Bai Zhi is alive, you must not expose the existence of the secret realm, let alone come out of it. We can't let him know this secret, otherwise everything will be doomed. Also, don't think about revenge for us, everything we do is voluntary, we only hope that you and other living people will not be blinded by hatred, don't let hatred dominate your lives, and live your own days well, this is what we most want to see."
"Senior Brother, I understand what you mean. I really just want to go and see how my clansmen are doing, but not now. I know now is not the time." Jiaojiao looked at Zitong with a firm gaze and a steady tone.
"Well, I always knew that you were a steady child, but I have kept these words in my heart for too long. I still want to say a few more words, and I hope you can really remember them in your heart." Zi Tong looked at Jiao Jiao, his eyes full of trust and relief.
"Those mysterious things you saw at the end of the blood pool are by no means ordinary objects. Look, they are actually the dragon scales of Mo Yuan and Yao Guang. Each dragon scale is shining with a mysterious and ancient light, as if telling the glorious and powerful power of their former owners. There are also Zhe Yan's phoenix feathers. The colorful colors on the phoenix feathers are still gorgeous and dazzling. Even if they are separated from their owners, they still exude the nobility and majesty of the phoenix. There is also Donghua's hair. The hair is like the toughest silk thread, but it contains endless divine power. Each strand seems to hide a mysterious world. It is no coincidence that these things appear at the end of the blood pool. They are Bai Zhi's deprivation of Qi. "The evidence is as solid as a mountain of iron." Zi Tong's face was serious, with deep worry in his eyes, "You didn't act rashly at that time, which was an absolutely correct choice. You have to know that Bai Zhi is a shrewd and ruthless person. No one knows how many vicious and cruel restrictions he has imposed on those precious things. Those restrictions are like bloody mouths hidden in the dark. Once ordinary people get close, they will be swallowed up in an instant and fall into endless disasters. Therefore, the only thing we can do now is to find a way to guide Mo Yuan, Yao Guang, Zhe Yan and Dong Hua to come here. Only they have the ability to deal with these mysterious things that are closely related to themselves."
Zi Tong frowned slightly as he spoke, and paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, before continuing, "Besides that, there is one more thing you must pay attention to, and that is about Bai Qian. Over the years, Bai Zhi has mentioned Bai Qian many times in front of me, and every time he mentioned this name, his eyes and tone changed subtly. This always makes me feel uneasy, and I always feel that there is a huge problem with Bai Qian. This problem may be like a bomb buried deep in the dark, which may detonate the entire situation at any time and become a key factor affecting the fate of all of us."
"Brother, I have also discovered some clues. Not long ago, I met Bai Qian by chance, and the scene at that time shocked me greatly. I found that the merit and luck on her body was in an extremely strange state. The merit and luck that should have surrounded her and protected her seemed to have lost control, and they were constantly flowing in all directions. But the strange thing is that at the same time, a large amount of merit was continuously absorbed by Bai Qian like a rushing river. This phenomenon is really too abnormal, as if Bai Qian is a special merit transfer station controlled by someone. There must be a conspiracy that we have not yet discovered, and the reasons behind it may be more complicated than we imagined." When Jiaojiao heard Zi Tong mention Bai Qian, she hurriedly told Zi Tong about the strange scenes she had seen before. Her eyes were full of vigilance and confusion, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
"I have never encountered the situation you described before. However, judging from various signs, one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, Bai Qian might be a magic circle used by Bai Zhi to steal merit. There is also an even more terrifying speculation that Bai Zhi may have stolen the soul of a certain powerful person and attached it to Bai Qian's body. But, which powerful person has such vast merit that can withstand Bai Qian's continuous consumption? This is really puzzling." After listening to Jiaojiao's words, Zi Tong frowned and quickly stated his judgment, his eyes full of anger and worry about this evil behavior.
"If all this is true, then Bai Zhi is unworthy of being a father! How could he use his own daughter so cruelly and treat her as a tool for personal gain?" Jiaojiao said indignantly, with anger flashing in her eyes. She felt extremely disgusted with this behavior that went against human ethics.
“That’s why I said this is just a guess and there is no conclusive evidence yet. After you go out this time, you must observe Bai Qian’s every move carefully. If you are lucky enough to meet the old immortals Mo Yuan, Yaoguang, Zheyan or Donghua, you can take out the token given to you by your master. When they see the token, they will naturally believe what you said. Maybe they can find some clues from it and solve this mystery.” Zi Tong instructed Jiaojiao with a serious look, knowing that this matter was of great importance and could not be sloppy in the slightest.
"I know, don't worry, senior brother." Jiaojiao answered seriously after hearing Zi Tong's words.
"Then you go out. Don't come here for a while and practice well." Zi Tong said as he waved his hand and cast a spell to let Jiaojiao go out.
