C268 Fox Dragon's Nest
Not only did Huang Yan feel awkward, even Ye Hanluo and Liang Yiyi looked at Xiao Chen. They didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. No matter where they looked, they were all people. They were originally people, okay?
"Is it really a person?"
Xiao Chen's words were strange. The woodcutter's words were even stranger. Was he really human? It was as if he had never seen anyone before. It was as if he was not a human being.
"Is his brain broken?" Liang Yiyi asked in a low voice. Was he really a human being? Had she never seen him before?
"Are you guys human too?" The woodcutter seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Chen and the other two and asked the same question. Xiao Chen nodded. He was not unhappy with such a question. Instead, he nodded and answered with a smile on his face.
"How is that possible?"
The woodcutter didn't frown. It was as if he was thinking about something very difficult to understand. He felt that Xiao Chen and the other two were humans. This was a very complicated matter for him.
"What do you mean? Aren't we geniuses?" Liang Yiyi was straightforward. When she saw the woodcutter's appearance, she was a little angry. Her puzzled expression was scolding them.
"No, no, no. You guys misunderstood. It's just because we haven't been here for a long time. So I'm more curious. You guys came through the forest?"
The woodcutter waved his hand and said.
"Could it be that you can fly in?" Liang Yiyi said angrily.
"May I ask where you are?" Ye Hanluo asked the woodcutter. If Liang Yiyi continued to talk about this, she was afraid that she would attack. Ye Hanluo went up to greet him and asked.
The woodcutter's gaze swept across Ye Hanluo's body and his eyes lit up. "The appearance of an emperor. Miss is a member of the royal family?" This person said in astonishment.
Ye Hanluo looked at herself. She did not expect that this woodcutter would be able to see through her identity with just a glance.
"That's right!"
Ye Hanluo nodded and answered.
"This is Qing Qiu!" The woodcutter said and turned around a few steps. Before Ye Hanluo and the other two could react, he disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had never appeared before and had really disappeared into thin air. Huang Yan even rushed to the place where the woodcutter had disappeared. He looked around and saw that there was not even the slightest fluctuation in space.
"Young master, why is that?" Huang Yan asked.
"Since you are here, let's go. There are many interesting things ahead." Xiao Chen said with a smile. In Huang Yan and the other two's eyes, the woodcutter's movement technique was marvelous, but to Xiao Chen, it was nothing.
The four of them continued on their journey. After walking for a day, they saw a village. It was a village backed by a green mountain. The village was not big. There were about fifty households.
At the entrance of the village, some people watched as the hoe left. They wanted to get down to work. There were also people walking back and forth in the village. There were more than a dozen children playing at the entrance of the village.
"There is a village!"
Liang Yiyi pointed at the village in front of them and said. With a village, they would not stay overnight in the forest. The four of them came to the entrance of the village and looked at the four villagers in shock.
That's right, they looked exactly the same as the woodcutter. Each of them looked at them as if they were looking at something new. Liang Yiyi and the other two felt their hair stand on end. They were afraid that these people would pounce on them and eat them.
"What's wrong with the young master and the others? Could it be that they have never seen anyone before? " How is this possible? " Liang Yiyi asked in a low voice. These people were all people. Why were they so shocked when they saw them?
"This is a person?"
"Why would they come here?"
"Could it be that the sky is going to change? " Please bless us here so that there will be no disaster. " Many people saw Xiao Chen and the other three and immediately put their palms together and prayed sincerely.
"Master, why do I feel like we are the plague?" Huang Yan said in a low voice. It was not just a plague. In the eyes of these people, they were as terrifying as a plague.
"It's fine!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"Is there a chief here?" Xiao Chen stood at the entrance of the village and asked the villagers who were looking at them. Xiao Chen did not enter the village, but stood at the entrance of the village. He kept a certain distance from the village, as if he was alert of something.
"Young master, aren't you going in directly?"
"No need!"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Soon, an old man with white hair walked out of the village. The old man looked very old and had snow-white hair. He didn't have any black hair. He bent his body and leaned on his walking stick. He was wobbling as he walked. He felt like he was going to fall at any moment.
"Hello, I am the village chief here!" The village chief walked in front of Xiao Chen. His voice was very low and hoarse. It sounded like he was talking to Xiao Chen with all his strength.
Xiao Chen glanced at the village chief and smiled. He thought to himself, "You are a seven-tailed fox. You are trying to deceive me with a trick.
"I want to cross the village. Are you going to give way?" Xiao Chen asked. Liang Yiyi and the other two were curious. What kind of question was this? Just pass through the village? Why did they have to let them pass?
"Of course. Young Master can stay in my village for the night. We will be on our way tomorrow!" The village chief said.
The villagers immediately surrounded the village chief after he said that. They were so warm and hospitable that no one knew how to reject them. Rejecting them would hurt people's hearts.
"Young master?"
"It doesn't matter! I want to see what they want to do." Ye Hanluo looked at the villagers and suddenly felt that something was not right.
"Let's go into the village."
Xiao Chen stood at the door and asked the chief for the password to enter the village. Since he had gotten the password, he naturally did not need to be restrained. In fact, the password was not important to Xiao Chen. However, Ye Hanluo and the other two people beside him, Xiao Chen decided that it was better to be safe.
Entering the village, After entering the village, the environment here was basically the same as outside. There were three thatched huts, some of which were slightly richer, and some of them had rooms in the courtyard.
"Young Master, you can stay here!" The village chief brought Xiao Chen and the other three to the entrance of a courtyard. Inside was a very ordinary thatched hut.
"That's right." Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"If you need anything, just say it. We will arrange it for you." The village chief was very respectful to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at the village chief and the villagers around him. The four of them looked like they were looking at something new.
"How about this? I'm a pampered person. I have to cover my body with the skin of a fox more than three thousand years old when I sleep. I also need to cover my body with the skin of a fox for five thousand years. Also, give me a fox fur coat for each of these two girls. I want the skin of a young fox. It's still snow white. I can't mix a little bit of mixed fur with it. How about it?"
Xiao Chen said.
When everyone heard this, their faces turned extremely gloomy. There was anger in their eyes. They felt as if they were going to swallow Xiao Chen whole and skin him alive.
"Young master, you must be joking. We don't have anything like this here!" The village chief said with a smile.
"It's best not to! I also hope not to." Xiao Chen patted the village chief's shoulder and said. The villagers went back to their own homes in the middle of the night, leaving only Xiao Chen and the other three in the thatched cottage.
"What does young master mean by what he said during the day?" Huang Yan asked. Why did Xiao Chen's words make everyone nervous? They felt uncomfortable all over.
"Because this is a fox's nest!"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Fox's nest?
Ye Hanluo and the other two were stunned. They looked outside and saw nothing special. Why did it suddenly become a fox's nest?
"Really?" Liang Yiyi asked.1
"Of course it's true. Didn't you hear any woodcutter say this is Qing Qiu? Don't you know about Qing Qiu's Fox Clan?" Xiao Chen looked at Liang Yiyi and said. The Fox Clan was an ancient race that had been passed down for a long time. Among the hundred races, the Fox Clan was a very mysterious existence.
"World Tower?"
Liang Yiyi suddenly realized that Bai Qingqing of the World Tower was a member of the Fox Clan. Liang Yiyi slapped her forehead. She did not expect all of this to wait here.
"Young Master, why are they looking at us like this?" Liang Yiyi asked Xiao Chen.
"What will happen if you see a fox?" Xiao Chen asked back. The three of them were stunned. There was no need to say that. A fox was their prey in their eyes. Of course, they wanted to kill it. Thinking of this, the three of them broke out in cold sweat. It turned out that the four of them had become the prey in the fox's eyes.
"This?" Liang Yiyi did not believe it.
"There is nothing to doubt. When humans kill foxes, foxes can naturally kill as well. This is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the cycle of karma!" Xiao Chen said very calmly.
"Young Master, then aren't we in great danger?" Huang Yan said.
Since these foxes could transform into human form, they must be powerful. What should they do now that they had fallen into the nest?
They were surrounded by enemies.
"Didn't I give them some warnings during the day? I believe they will think twice before doing anything. Otherwise, I will have a good fox fur coat." Xiao Chen never cared about danger.
"Did the ancestors of Ye family come here before?"
Ye Hanluo said calmly. There was an emperor of Ye family who went deep into the Eastern Mountain. In the end, he was the only one who survived and died when he returned to the palace.
"That's right! All the karma is here. We can settle everything here. Something must have happened between your ancestors and the Fox Clan back then." Xiao Chen said.
No wonder that woodcutter found out that Hanluo was a member of the imperial family and disappeared immediately. I'm afraid that it has something to do with your ancestor! " Liang Yiyi clapped her hands and said. This explanation could explain why that woodcutter fox was so abnormal.
Xiao Chen nodded. Liang Yiyi's words made sense.
"Then what happened between our ancestor and Fox Clan? Is it hatred? " Then why did the Fox Clan open the World Tower in the capital of Shenglan Ancient Country, and the Ye family never interfered? " Ye Hanluo said.
"Take it slow!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and said. If he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he could not rush. He needed to peel off the cocoon and understand the matter bit by bit.
The four of them chatted as they knocked on the door. The sound was like death approaching. Liang Yiyi and the other two's expressions changed drastically. Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "There is no need to be so flustered. Even if they are capable, I have a way to resolve your young master. Go and open the door. " Xiao Chen pointed at Huang Yan and said.
After all, apart from Xiao Chen, Huang Yan was the only man here.
Huang Yan took a deep breath and slowly walked to the door. He raised his hands and felt extremely nervous.
This was a fox's nest. If he was not careful, he would be killed. He did not know what tricks these foxes were playing. It was rumored that foxes were very strange.
Huang Yan opened the door and revealed a smile. However, this smile was stiff as if he was crying.
"What do you want? "If there's nothing else, we need to rest. Please go back!" Huang Yan swore that he had never spoken like this in his life. He had never been so nervous. It was too exciting.
"We are here to look for young master!" The village chief squinted his eyes and said.
