Shen Yijin and Fox looked at each other and confirmed that there was no photo in the fruit plate before.

She walked forward to see what was in the photo.

In the photo, a long-haired man is holding a baby in his arms, and behind him is a newly cast bronze statue of a fox fairy.

The fox jumped onto the altar and also looked at the photo.

"This girl looks so familiar..." Although the man was the protagonist in the photo, the fox noticed the baby first.

Chen Yijin asked Bei Shitao to come over and take a look: "Taozi, look, is this a photo of you when you were a child?"

"Me?" Bei Shitao opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that this photo was related to her.

Looking closely, it seems that it really is me.

Bei Shitao subconsciously reached out to pick up the photo and take a closer look, but was stopped by Shen Yijin.

Chen Yijin: "Don't touch it, this photo just appeared, it might have been tampered with."

Bei Shitao withdrew her hand in fear.

The quilt wrapped around the baby girl in the photo was the same one that Bei Shitao had seen in the family album before, and her eyebrows and eyes were almost the same as her own.

Bei Shitao was certain that the child in the photo was herself. She frowned and said, "It's me, but I've never seen this photo before, and I don't know this man either..."

She had never heard that there was a man with long hair in the Bei family.

She had never seen this look before.

The fox then shifted its gaze to the long-haired man. The moment it saw the man's appearance, it immediately lowered its body and made a threatening sound.

Shen Yijin patted the fox's head to comfort him: "What's wrong?"

"He's the disciple from the Meteoric Sect who sealed me into a doll!"

As soon as he escaped from the seal, the fox saw the photo of his enemy and was afraid and angry.

Emotionally, the fox wanted to find the long-haired man and teach him a lesson, but rationally, it knew that with its current abilities, it could not beat the long-haired man at all, and might even be sealed away again.

The fox was in a complicated mood, feeling a little insecure. "The person who just came must be him! He noticed the seal was broken and came here specifically!"

Chen Yijin: "He is a member of the Bei family. Taozi, have you really never seen him?"

If the long-haired man in the photo had not had his face disguised, judging from his physiognomy, he and Bei Shitao were related by blood, and close relatives, not the kind separated by several generations.

Bei Shitao shook her head: "I really haven't seen him. Maybe he doesn't appear often."

Bei Shitao felt that her three views had been reorganized. She had read a lot of novels and was not surprised that there were cultivators like Shen Yijin in the world. However, there were cultivators in her family who had lived for more than a thousand years, and she had been held in the arms of someone when she was a child. This was beyond her understanding.

People like this in novels are usually in seclusion, so how do they have time to take care of children?

"Okay, let's ignore him for now." Shen Yijin thought, since this person didn't wait for them in the Fox Fairy Temple, he probably didn't want to meet them now.

Anyway, we won’t face each other in the short term, so it doesn’t matter if we put it aside for now.

I just don’t know if this photo has anything to do with them leaving this barren mountain.

The fox calmed down, the fear from the long-haired man in the photo gradually fading. He began to think about the connection between the Fox Fairy Temple and the desolate mountain. "I was drawn here by this temple. Maybe there's something here that's preventing us from leaving."

But in the Fox Fairy Temple, there is nothing else except the bronze statue of the Fox Fairy and the fruit plate on the altar.

Shen Yijin and the fox were thinking the same thing. She looked at the bronze statue of the fox fairy and suddenly said, "Shall we smash the statue?"

"What!" The fox almost choked on his saliva, "I don't agree!"

This is a bronze statue made according to its face. It cannot become an immortal for the time being, so before it becomes an immortal, it is good to use this bronze statue to deceive itself.

Bei Shitao: "I think it's okay! How do we smash it?"

"No, no, no, you think it's not possible!" The fox ran to Bei Shitao and pulled her trouser legs with his claws, trying to make her change her mind.

Bei Shitao bent down and picked up the fox, ignoring its protests.

Shen Yijin held up the empty fruit plate beside her: "Use this."

The fruit plate used to hold the tribute fruit was not big. Bei Shitao doubted whether it could cause any skin damage to the bronze statue if it was hit with it.

What's the difference between this and hitting a rock with an egg?

Bei Shitao was not optimistic and stood silently watching Shen Yijin's operation.

The fox in her arms was struggling and wanted to jump down to stop Chen Yijin from smashing the bronze statue, but it was afraid of hurting Bei Shitao, so its movements were relatively small. Bei Shitao stopped it from jumping.

Shen Yijin propped up the fruit plate in her hand, found the right angle, and smashed it down on the statue's head.

In just a moment, the bronze head of the fox fairy statue was separated.

The fox in Bei Shitao's arms stopped struggling and let Bei Shitao hold him limply. This reminded Bei Shitao of an emoticon - There is no emotion in my heart because I am already dead.

"Don't be so discouraged. Think about it, this bronze statue was cast for you by the person who sealed you. He must be against you, right? Then what good intentions do you think he had in casting this statue? Think about it this way, isn't it better to destroy the statue?" Bei Shitao held back her laughter and comforted the fox.

The fox was still listless and motionless.

Bei Shitao did not continue to comfort her. She walked to Shen Yijin and looked with her to see what was inside the bronze statue.

Bei Shitao stuck her head into the bronze statue and saw nothing.

But the expressions of Fox and Shen Yijin clearly indicated that there was something inside the bronze statue.

Unable to see anything, Bei Shitao was a little scared, and her hands around the fox unconsciously clenched: "What's inside this bronze statue?"

Shen Yijin had a complicated expression: “There’s a little fox’s soul inside.”

This little fox is so small that it looks like it is just one month old.

Shen Yijin looked carefully and found that the little fox looked very similar to the fox in Bei Shitao's arms. This bronze statue of the fox fairy might have been cast for the little fox.

The fox also thought of this. He was so sad that he almost cried and felt that he was a joke.

"How could this happen! What's the name of this Meteorite Sect disciple? I'm going to beat him up sooner or later!" The fox was furious.

Shen Yijin gently took out the little fox's soul and found that the little fox's soul was very weak and looked like it would dissipate at any time.

Sure enough, the Fox Fairy Temple is used to extend the lives of little foxes.

Thinking of the photo, with the long-haired man and the bronze statue of the fox fairy behind him, Shen Yijin suddenly had an idea and came up with a guess.

This little fox, could it be that he has something to do with Bei Shitao?

Shen Yijin looked at Bei Shitao, trying to find something in common between her and the little fox.

Bei Shitao felt uneasy when she looked at her: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

“You seem to be this little fox…” Shen Yijin discovered that Bei Shitao’s aura was the same as that of the little fox.

"Ah?" Bei Shitao was confused. How come she turned from a human into a fox after coming to the deserted mountains?

This species has changed for her...

She has been a human for more than 20 years, but she doesn't feel like a fox at all!
