I pinched my hand deliberately and found that it didn't hurt. I thought this must be a dream again. Hu Lingshang liked to find me in this way. It's just that she hadn't come to see me for a long time. I don't know why she came again tonight. She must have something to do with me, and she might have set up some puzzles for me unintentionally. But since it was a dream created by her and she specially invited me, I couldn't refuse, so I went downstairs and went outside the courtyard.
I saw her wearing a purple dress and a long shawl, looking at me with a smile on her face. The moonlight was hazy, but it only made her face look fair and delicate. Her pretty face had some of the beauty of a fairy from heaven. Her every frown and smile was radiant, and I couldn't take my eyes off her. Although I knew she was not a fairy, my heart beat faster and my face became hot unconsciously because of her otherworldly beauty.
Although it is a long skirt, the upper body is only covered by the shawl, and the rest of her willow waist, jade neck, tender shoulders, and even thin and white arms are all revealed. This is even more charming, and I fall deeply at a glance.
But since she came to see me, it is impossible that she just came to tease me. She is not that kind of person. After several contacts, I know her character to some extent. So I coughed, tried to regain my attention, and said, "Is there something you want to talk to me about, Miss Lingshang?"
At this time, I saw Hu Lingshang walking towards me, and she stroked my face with her translucent white fingers. Unconsciously, she was behind me, put her face close to my neck, and sprayed orchid fragrance into my ear. Her soft voice made me feel itchy and numb. Then she said softly, "It's okay. Can't I come to see you, young master?"
Although I knew it was a dream, the teasing still made me feel aroused and my face couldn't stop blushing. I didn't dare to speak for a while, as I was afraid that it would be embarrassing if I broke my voice.
She smiled coquettishly, her voice was particularly pleasant, ethereal and agile, yet infinitely soft, and she said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came here this time because I really have something to talk to you about. I just want to tell you that the girl has [Dao Fu] in her soul and [Kai Yuan] in her body. She has two treasures, so she is really not easy to deal with. There are now six of the Eight Treasures of Taiqiong Cave, and each of them has incomparable magical powers. None of them is easy to deal with, let alone two of them. It is even more difficult to underestimate her. I am afraid that it will become a big problem over time."
At this point, I couldn't help but be shocked. I knew that she had the ability of Daofu. At that time, she offered her soul to Daofuhui, who was the guy who called himself Longhu Jushi. After that, her soul consciousness was transformed into gray powder, which was part of the ashes. She voluntarily joined the Black Phantom Cult, but later killed "Daofuhui" herself.
But how could it still have the ability of Kaiyuan? After all, the Kaiyuan worm was extremely fragile. At that time, its abdomen had been smashed by me and it died. How could it jump onto Yingchun's body again? Could it be a mistake?
But I also figured it out. Hu Lingshang would never come here for fun for no reason. What she said just now must be that she felt her survival was threatened, so she came to me to join forces. Otherwise, she would never have the leisure to come to me to play. So her ambiguity was fake, and her intention to join forces with me to protect her own interests was real. However, this way of communication is really special.
"You must be mistaken. I have personally smashed the Kaiyuan worm to death to prevent it from creating monsters and harming the people. I can understand that Song Yingchun has the power of Daofu, but to say that she has the ability of Kaiyuan is a fantasy. How can a dead thing be resurrected?" I said.
"Although the insect is dead, Kaiyuan may not be destroyed. Daofu can transform souls and consciousness. Miss Song can use a little bit of the transformation power to transform Daofu's soul into gray smoke and dust, and use it for herself, just like Daofu intended to transform your soul into gray smoke and dust before. It's the same principle. That's why she can obtain the power of Kaiyuan. Otherwise, how could she communicate with the hyena people so easily? It's all relying on Kaiyuan's ability to recognize spirits and change the tone of her voice." Hu Lingshang said.
My mind buzzed. I had never thought of this. At that time, I thought that the Kaiyuan worm was dead, and I was mostly considering Yunwen's feelings, so I didn't think about it anymore. I never thought there was such a possibility, and Song Yingchun actually got the advantage! But how did Song Yingchun know the ability of the Kaiyuan worm?
Then I immediately thought of the ugly wooden monster. Before he was resurrected, he was a mermaid. The mermaids have always been on good terms with the hyenas and often do business with them. Maybe the mermaids have always known about the existence of the Kaiyuan worm, so when the ugly monster passed by there and encountered the corpse of the worm, he must have told Yingchun about it. So when Yingchun was invited by the Hyena Queen that night, she not only picked up a token left behind by the Black Knight monster, but also picked up the body of the Kaiyuan worm. She used the ability of Dao Fu to merge its soul into her own.
No wonder her voice can produce mixed sounds, and she can communicate with the hyena people, and her orders are given accurately when she gives them. This is not achieved through language training, but depends on the ability of that insect.
"So, you are not only here to warn me, but also hope to join forces with me to deal with her, right?" I asked.
Hu Lingshang took her fair little hand back from my neck, and teased me gently with both hands. She gently held my neck with her right hand, and said, "This little Miss Song has started to cause trouble for me. Recently, the hyenas have come to spy outside the West Camp City and injured my foxes. I'm afraid they will invade my fox territory in the near future and use their huge killing weapons to deal with us. It's not easy for foxes to survive, so I really need your help, Zhou Lang. This time I just hope to save my foxes and let them survive."
"Has she made her move?" I asked.
Hu Lingshang nodded and said, "Yes, just two days ago, I wanted to find Miss Song to argue with her, but the city was heavily guarded, and I didn't know where she was hiding, so I didn't find her and she was almost shot by the killing weapon, so I fled in a hurry."
I sighed. I didn't expect things to have come to this point. When we were chatting in the past, we talked a lot about the situation in Xiying City and revealed the location. I also said that the nine-tailed white fox lived in seclusion there. At that time, we were just chatting casually and I didn't think that this day would come. Instead, all this information was used by Song Yingchun.
As the saying goes, righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control the army. If someone like Song Yingchun is neither righteous nor kind, how can the fox tribe survive if they really start a war? There will be corpses everywhere!
Those red foxes have been kind to me. They died for me once, and another time when I was on the verge of death in Xiying City. It was they who guided my bardo body and allowed me to return to human form, which counts as saving my life twice. Moreover, although the nine-tailed white fox saved me for a purpose, compared to the purpose, saving me from danger every time was a great favor.
With that in mind, how could I have known about this situation and turned a blind eye to the victims?
Besides, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be interdependent. Once all the foxes in Xiying City are strangled, the next one to come will inevitably be our post station. As a former special forces soldier, I know a little about the military tactics and strategies that are related to soldiers. Since I know about them, I cannot stand idly by. I am clear about this reminder and intention, and I will certainly not sit idly by.
"Miss Lingshang, I don't know where you are now, but what you said is our common disaster. It cannot be solved by a simple discussion between you and me. Therefore, I think you should take the time to come here, and we can discuss a solution together. First, I think detailed deployment and strength in numbers will be better, and it will be better to gather everyone's wisdom; second, I also have a girl who escaped from Song Yingchun. She is her biological sister. She may know more about the situation over there, which will facilitate our communication and arrangements. What do you think?" I asked.
She smiled sweetly, her watery eyes revealing endless deep meaning, and said: "I think Zhou Lang probably wants to see me, so he said this. However, I have agreed and will come to visit later. I look forward to meeting you!"
She turned to leave, but then turned back and said, "When you get serious, you are really manly, and your wisdom makes me ashamed."
After saying this, she floated away and dissipated into smoke in the dream.
