PNB Chapter 54 The Elder of the Fox Clan
Chapter 54 The Elder of the Fox Clan
Maybe Yan Yi knew that Xiao Ling wanted to settle accounts with him, so he didn't see anyone for several days. When I asked the servants of the Fox family, they all said that the second young master Yan went out in the early morning and came back at midnight, wearing a salty sea breeze Smell, as soon as he stepped into the door of Hu's house, he looked left and right, looking like he was carefully picking someone up, then turned into a fox body, and quickly fled back to his room.
However, on this day, Yan Yi took the initiative to find her.
Yan Yi walked lightly to the arched door of the other courtyard, and poked her head in furtively, for fear of being discovered.His eyes locked on Lin Zhen who was sitting on the stone bench reading a book, and then he looked around, and when he was sure that Xiao Ling was not in the courtyard, he dared to open his mouth and hiss: "Lin Zhen——"
Lin Zhen turned a page of the book, the sound of flipping the book just covered Yan Yi's call.
Yan Yi touched the arched wall with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and continued: "Lin Zhen—Lin Zhen—"
He whispered, it sounded like some lonely ghost was calling the name of the heartbreaker, especially resentful.When Lin Zhen heard this voice, she felt goosebumps, and a chill ran up her spine.
He closed the book and looked back, seeing Yan Yi hiding behind the wall, he laughed and said, "So it's you, I thought—"
When Yan Yi saw Lin Zhen, he was about to expose him, so he rushed up quickly, covered Lin Zhen's mouth with one hand, and put his hand in front of his mouth, making a silent movement, with a serious face, and his brows were wrinkled nervously stand up.
Yan Yi approached Lin Zhen, and said in a low voice, "Lin Zhen, come out with me for a while, don't let Canglong know that I've been here."
At this moment, there was only a "creak", and the door of the room was pushed open.
Standing on the stairs, Xiao Ling watched Yan Yi cover Lin Zhen's mouth. Seeing the two of them getting so close, his face instantly became like the twelfth lunar month of winter. the chill.
His voice was gloomy and cold: "Yan Yi, what are you doing?"
Yan Yi's movements froze. In fact, when he heard the sound of the door opening, his heart skipped a beat.
He screamed in his heart, he didn't read the Huangli when he went out, how could Xiao Ling, King Yama, see such a scene?He quickly stopped, took a few steps back, and smiled at Xiao Ling: "No, it's nothing, Lin Zhen and I are just messing around."
Xiao Ling said: "If you want to play around in the future, you can find me."
Yan Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't dare to bother you. Since you are the one below, you must need more rest!"
It was fine if he didn't talk about it, but when it was mentioned, Xiao Ling's expression became even more unpredictable.
Although Lin Zhen was embarrassed, he was still happy. He let out a "poof" laugh, and turned to Xiao Ling and said, "Did you hear that? Go back and have a good rest."
Xiao Ling said: "Brother, do you want me to recharge my batteries for tonight?"
The smile on Lin Zhen's face froze, he turned his head, coughed lightly, and said to Yan seriously: "Don't mention this matter again."
Yan Yi was startled, what's going on right now?In his opinion, Lin Zhen is like a little husband who fears guilt, while Xiao Ling...Yan Yi carefully raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Ling, and was unexpectedly gouged out by that icy cold gaze, his heart trembled, A word flashed through his head: shrew.
This impression was deeply engraved in Yan Yi's mind, so many years later, when he knew the truth, he was shocked as if his ethics had been reversed, and he couldn't fully accept it until a year and a half later.
Of course these are all for later.
Lin Zhen asked: "Are you here to see me? What's the matter?"
When Yan Yi was asked by Lin Zhen, he realized that he had something serious to do. He responded several times and said, "That's right. You Shun told me that there is an old man in the Presbyterian Church who wants to see you."
"see me?"
"No!" Hearing this, Xiao Ling hurried down the steps and stood in front of Lin Zhen, "The devil knows what those old foxes in your family are planning?"
Yan Yi scratched his head, with a embarrassed look on his face: "Uh, actually, I don't want to...you know, Lin Zhen...he has a very special status. I don't know who those old guys beat What's the idea, don't catch Lin Zhen as a drug introduction..."
Xiao Ling's face changed, and his vigilance became even more vigilant.
Lin Zhen was stunned, never expecting that she had such an effect.
Seeing this, Yan Yi hurriedly waved his hands to clarify: "No, no, I'm just joking! Although they are very cunning, at most they think about it in their hearts and dare not put it into practice."
Lin Zhen thought of You Shun taking the scales and dragon's blood while Xiao Ling was asleep, and couldn't help feeling that the credibility of Yan Yi's words was lower than the possibility that Xiao Ling would not squeeze him tonight.
"Oh, how should I put it..." Yan Yi thought about the words, "The elder who wants to see Lin Zhen this time is quite special. I have never seen him when I grow up, and there is no rumor... Ah no, I can't say no , I heard from my brother before that it seems that the elder is not from our fox clan."
Xiao Ling said with a cold face, "If you don't go, you won't go, no matter how much you say, it's useless."
"Xiao Ling, please don't interrupt, I remember, that person told You Shun, after telling you his name, maybe you will come to see him voluntarily." Yan Yi looked at Lin Zhen, paused, and then He said two words.
Lin Zhen was stunned, and then asked Yan Yi to repeat the name three times before confirming it. He sat on the stone bench and fell silent.
Yan Yi looked puzzled and astonished, even Xiao Ling was a little surprised.
After a while, Lin Zhen raised his head, his dark eyes were shining with determination, "Take me there, I will go alone."
Xiao Ling wanted to follow him, but was rejected by Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen said: "A Ling, if this person is really the person I expected, then he is my savior. I must see him, and then a Have a good talk with him."
When he said this, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, calm and steady, with a hundred years hidden in his eyes.
Xiao Ling was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was no longer simply Lin Zhen, the elder brother of the Lin family village.
He is Duli, who could have looked down on the earth and despised the sky.
So he could only let go, and said in a low voice: "Brother, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back here."
That person does not live in the big house of the family.
Yan Yi took Lin Zhen out of the gate, boarded the Hu family's carriage, and headed north.Yan Yi explained that that person has always been a mystery, except for the elders, no one knows where he lives, and the patriarch should know, but he is only a temporary substitute for Yan Jiu, and You Shun and the others never told him.
"You Shun asked me to take you to Beixi Mountain—it's at the northern end of Shengfeng, and it won't be long. Then he will take you to find that so-and-so in person." Yan Yi looked at Lin Zhen with a solemn expression, and pressed his curiosity Unable to bear it, he said, "Hey, can you tell me who that person is, you know him?"
Lin Zhen shook her head: "It's not considered acquaintance, but... you better stop asking me, I'm thinking of words."
"Okay, I won't ask." Yan Yi shrugged, and then joked, "Isn't it your lover? You didn't see Xiao Ling's expression, like an abandoned dog, pitiful, Hahaha what a joy!"
Lin Zhen smiled, noncommittal to Yan Yi's description.
Soon the carriage drove to the foot of Beixi Mountain, Lin Zhen got out of the carriage, Yan Yi said to Lin Zhen in the carriage, "I'll go out for a few laps, and I'll come back to you in three hours."
Lin Zhen nodded, then turned and walked forward, and soon he saw You Shun standing at the mountain pass, still with a shrewd smile on his face.
He took Lin Zhen into the mountain, and after asking about Xiao Ling's situation in a caring manner, he didn't say anything more.In the end, it was Lin Zhen who spoke first: "How did he become the elder of your fox clan?"
You Shun led the way ahead, without any hesitation in his tone, he confessed frankly: "Foxes are naturally clever and cunning, the world knows it, and we fox demons also understand this. If there are too many smart people together, they will cheat each other. What's more, it's a fox demon? So after the reunification of the fox clan, a council of elders was set up, and there must be several demons from other races participating in the council of elders, which can be regarded as a restriction."
"However, with the fusion with the fox clan, the blood of the foreign clan gradually became impure. In the end, only a line of pure demon blood of the foreign clan survived, so he became the only elder of the foreign clan in our clan."
Lin Zhen listened, and suddenly asked, "Is he alright?"
You Shun laughed two or three times, but implied helplessness, and just said: "It's good to survive."
"I... always thought he was dead."
You Shun looked back at Lin Zhen and said, "Don't say it was you, even we thought he was dead at first."
As he said that, he looked at the sky again. The mountain was not high, and the sky was as clear as blue. He murmured: "What do you think is the situation now? The heavens and monsters are all messed up."
"It's messed up?" Lin Zhen pondered over You Shun's words.
"That's all, I'm just disturbing myself." You Shun shook his head, and then walked for a while, leading Lin Zhen into a cave.
There are lights hanging on the walls of the cave, illuminating the supposedly deep road.
Gusts of wind blowing from the cave, cool and lonely, made Lin Zhen feel anxious.
After walking in the cave for an unknown amount of time, You Shun in front of him suddenly stopped, and said loudly, "I brought him here for you. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, please tell him quickly."
The cave was empty, but Lin Zhen heard the sound of heavy breathing, as if he was dying of illness, as if he was dying at dusk, dying, dragging his last breath, just to see the waiting person for the last time.
You Shun sighed, turned around and patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder, and said, "I'll wait for you outside the cave."
Lin Zhen stared silently at the large mass of gray lying in front of him under the dim light.
In memory, it should be a body with shiny black fur, which can hide itself in the dark night, and be proud and heroic in the white snow.
But now, it is as gray as dead, colorless, if you don't look carefully, it looks like a big ball of rotten cotton wool.
The gray mass moved, then struggled to stand up.
It was a giant dog as tall as a cave, with haggard hair, haggard and sickly, already a sickly old look.
He used to be so strong, able to break through the fire of the sky, run across the marshes and shallows, and lead Lin Zhen to escape for 72 years.
Lin Zhen's heart trembled, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He only heard a voice that had experienced many vicissitudes from the giant dog's body: "I really have no strength, and I can't turn into a human body to see you. I hope you don't take offense."
Lin Zhen moved his steps, walked up and stroked the giant dog's front legs, and said with emotion: "Lingxi, long time no see."
Ling Xi let out a weak laugh, "Du Li, seeing you as a grown-up is not in vain for the past 20 years I've lived on."
The dog demon Lingxi, Ye Yu's most trusted confidant, and the only alien elder of the fox clan.
The benefactor who once endured the pain and led Lin Zhen to run for 72 years.
