Chapter 112: The Merit Stolen
Without the incense and offerings, Hu Yunrong's body was already at the end of its strength. This time, she used all her spiritual power to eliminate the impact of the plague on the villagers at the foot of the mountain. The plague subsided, but her body also completely collapsed.
The moment the immortal power was exhausted, Hu Yunrong turned back into the appearance of a fox. Its fur became dull and its pupils lost their luster.
Before he could say his final goodbye, Hu Yunrong lost his breath.
After Chen Yijin and Bei Shitao distributed the last of the medicinal herbs to the villagers and returned to the mountain, Hu Yunrong was already dead.
The fox stood beside it, shedding tears silently.
"It's not safe here. Let's take its bones and find a place to hide first." Shen Yijin had no time to be sad. The people from the Meteorite Sect who were concerned about the fox fairy's bones might show up at any time. Before that, they had to hide Hu Yunrong's bones in a safe place.
As a fellow demon, the leader of the spirit cat tribe was the first to sense Hu Yunrong's death. He rushed over and, after hearing what Shen Yijin said, suggested, "Go hide with us. Our tribe is in a special location and is blessed by the heavens. It's hard for outsiders to find us."
The civet cat clan and Hu Yunrong are old friends. Even if they can't do anything else, they can at least collect Hu Yunrong's body.
Chen Yijin accepted the suggestion of the civet cat chief. She collected Hu Yunrong's bones and followed the civet cat chief back to the civet cat tribe.
In the tribe, the civet cats were all saddened by the death of Hu Yunrong.
The clan leader found a place with the best sunlight in the clan and wanted Chen Yijin to bury Hu Yunrong there.
Shen Yijin put down Hu Yunrong's skeleton and dug a pit with Bei Shitao and the civet cats.
The pit has been dug and is ready for burial.
The leader of the Civet Cat Clan looked at Hu Yunrong's skeleton and suddenly exclaimed, "It seems that there is still some residual soul of Hu Yunrong on this skeleton!"
What!
Bei Shitao quickly threw away the shovel in her hand.
"Really? Is it possible to repair this part of the residual soul? What should we do?" Bei Shitao's eyes sparkled as she looked at the civet cat chief with anticipation.
The leader of the Civet Cat Clan carefully studied Hu Yunrong's current situation, and finally sighed deeply: "No, this remnant soul is too weak. Any means of nurturing it will cause it to dissipate, unless there is a bloodline of the same origin..."
However, Hu Yunrong's bloodline had long been cut off, and it had no relatives.
After hearing this, Bei Shitao quickly turned to look at Shen Yijin.
Shen Yijin suddenly realized that she finally knew why Bei Shitao had Hu Yunrong's bloodline.
Only in this way can Hu Yunrong's soul be nurtured.
"There is a way, but you need to separate a part of your soul." Shen Yijin said.
Bei Shitao didn't hesitate: "Same as before? I can do it!"
Shen Yijin: "Think it through, this is more painful than soul fusion."
Bei Shitao didn't say anything, but her determined eyes said it all.
Shen Yijin took a step forward in silence and used her spiritual power to split Bei Shitao's soul. She found the part of the soul that had just been fused and split it again.
After getting the divided soul, Shen Yijin squatted down and merged it with Hu Yunrong's residual soul, and then divided it into two.
Chen Yijin merged half of it with Bei Shitao's soul again, letting Bei Shitao raise it with her own soul, and gave the remaining half to the civet cat chief.
"After that, Bei Lanshan will come to find you. You give him this half soul, and he will know what to do."
The leader of the civet cat tribe had no idea what Shen Yijin was doing, but he solemnly agreed to it.
Shen Yijin's eyes fell on Hu Yunrong's skeleton, and thinking of Bei Lanshan's character, he didn't plan to bury Hu Yunrong in the civet cat tribe's land anymore.
She picked up the skeleton again and said to the leader of the civet cats, "Bei Lanshan is a man of character. If he knew that you buried Fox Yunrong, he might be angry. I will hide it under the waterfall not far from the Fox Fairy Temple. If he comes looking for it, you can tell him that it was me who did it. He should not bother you anymore."
After saying that, Shen Yijin flew to the waterfall holding the skeleton, leaving Bei Shitao and the fox in the civet tribe's land.
Fox looked at Shen Yijin's departing figure and finally understood one thing.
It turns out that it was not sealed by accident.
Hu Yunrong is the person that Bei Lanshan holds dearest, and it was the one who sent Hu Yunrong a death ultimatum.
Bei Lanshan must have hated it for indirectly causing Hu Yunrong's death, so when he encountered it later when it knew nothing, he sealed it.
Shen Yijin buried Hu Yunrong's bones deep in the waterfall and sealed them with a formation. After doing all this, she returned to the shore.
Chen Yijin didn't know whether the people from the Meteorite Sect found Hu Yunrong's bones later. Even if they did, she believed that Bei Lanshan would get them back.
She followed the same path she came from to the civet cat tribe's territory. On the way, she passed by the Fox Fairy Temple and discovered that the temple, which had been intact just now, had now turned into ruins.
It was the villagers of Qianfang Village who took the lead in destroying the Fox Fairy Temple.
"What the Immortal said is indeed correct! It was this fox fairy that caused us to be infected with the disease! Now that the fox fairy is gone, our disease will be cured!"
"We shouldn't have built a fox temple for this harmful fox. Who knows how many people it has harmed in the past!"
"Perhaps the Sun family kid was harmed by it. This fox is no match for the immortal. With the immortal's protection in the future, our lives will definitely get better and better..."
The villagers left, chatting and laughing, with a longing for the future.
Chen Yijin stood quietly in front of the Fox Fairy Temple, feeling deeply sorry for Hu Yunrong.
Hu Yunrong gave so much for the villagers, but in the end, the villagers thought that it brought the plague, mistaking it for an accomplice and benefactor, and even destroyed the Fox Temple like this.
If Hu Yunrong knew the ending would be like this, she would definitely be heartbroken.
After Hu Yunrong died, Shen Yijin thought they would go back a thousand years later, but after living in the civet cat tribe for more than a month, her cultivation had been raised to the Nascent Soul stage, but there was no sign of going back a thousand years later.
Unable to return to a thousand years later, the fox was a little worried: "Will we never be able to go back?"
Although the environment was good a thousand years ago, if it had stayed here, it might have become an immortal soon. But there is another self here after all. If it is here, what should the self of a thousand years ago do?
"It should be soon." Shen Yijin's fortune-telling ability improved along with her cultivation. She calculated that Bei Lanshan should be back soon.
Perhaps they would have to wait for Bei Lanshan to come back before they could go back a thousand years.
Over the past month, the villagers living at the foot of the mountain have long forgotten the Fox Fairy Temple and the fox fairy on the mountain. The fairy has completely become the spiritual pillar of the villagers.
The Meteorite Sect failed to take away Hu Yunrong's bones, and no one knows what they will do next.
Shen Yijin guessed that they would get the answer to this matter after they returned a thousand years ago.
The two men and the fox stayed in the civet cat's territory for another half a month.
Early in the morning of a new day, the little civet suddenly came to inform them that Bei Lanshan had returned.
