Chapter 160 The Fox Fairy Grandma Appears
They had heard of the Dragon King who had been sung many times in ballads, the Phoenix that appeared in Huai'an, and the terrifying Dream God in dreams. Now, appearing before them was the Fox King, full of the wild beauty and terror of animals.
That’s right, when several women from Lingzhou saw the nine-tailed fox, they buried their heads deeply in the ground. They have always believed in fox spirits.
Since ancient times, various customs have been passed down in various places. The differences between places and regions have led to different habits and lifestyles, which are different in Lingzhou from other places.
Most of the households in Beiyang are headed by men, who need to farm and do many other things. Huai'an has many merchants doing business, and there is also water transportation relying on Jianan and Anjiang, but the more remote Lingzhou is completely different from other places.
Lingzhou is actually somewhat similar to Yunhe. Yunhe is close to a river and then close to the grassland. There are many Huns there, and they worship the existence of the Wolf King, so wolf teeth have become a symbol of their power.
Yunhe is peaceful and full of various wild animals. The same is true for Lingzhou. Lingzhou is covered with mountains and forests. These mountains and forests are extremely terrifying and surprising. To put it bluntly, it is a place where snakes and insects run rampant.
This place has been inhabited by tribes for hundreds of years, most of whom live in the mountains. Women are the tribe leaders, and some are even proficient in medicine and poison. Some villages still have things like poison that sound scary.
It can be said that before Lingzhou became the fiefdom of King Gao Kun of Yin, women were not only more numerous than clan leaders, but even in Lingzhou, women had a higher status than men. No matter at any time, business or doing things were mostly decided by women. This was the unspoken rule of survival in the mountains.
As a result, King Yin Gao Kun came here. Not only did he ignore this rule, but he even began to pretend to be an ordinary person to deceive the women because he saw that the women in Lingzhou were all beautiful. The women of Lingzhou were inherently fierce, so it was normal for them to drug King Yin Gao Kun in anger. After all, the women of Lingzhou had the habit of committing suicide for love. If their lovers were unfaithful, they could kill them with poison, and the court would generally not care.
It was such a place. After King Yin officially came here, he was not only poisoned, but also began to suppress women. He did not allow women to go out, deprived women of their property, did not allow women to go out, and required men to be held in high esteem. Therefore, in the nearly ten years in Lingzhou, many women in Lingzhou withered like flowers. Not only were they killed by Gao Kun, but some were also killed by other men.
Originally, women were in power in Lingzhou, but men came to power later. So who was the one suffering?
Therefore, over the years, the women in Lingzhou have not had an easy time. The Qin family lives near the mountains and forests, so they are not affected much. It is not that women are inherently inferior to others. However, the women living in the town of Lingzhou have long been in dire straits.
They are deprived of the opportunity to go out, deprived of their family property, and are naturally bound to their homes. How painful is this for these flowers growing and blooming in the mountains?
So Qin Taohua actually saw many dead women, not only those killed by King Yin, but also those who died under King Yin’s political views and were killed by men.
The corpses of those women could probably be piled up into a mountain to bury those men.
The huge nine-tailed fox swayed its nine tails, and its eyes fell on King Yin, seeing his miserable condition.
King Yin has changed now. He is missing one of his eyeballs, and there is a blood-stained hole inside. When he saw the real nine-tailed fox with his other eye, he was so shocked that he was speechless. Perhaps it was because his tongue was broken that he could not speak.
Not only that, his body was covered in blood. All the visible skin was first burned by the branding iron, and then the skin was scraped and the flesh was peeled off, even the white bones were exposed.
He was in a miserable state. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died by now. However, King Yin, who was fed the magic medicine, did not die. He was still alive, living in extreme pain.
"Please, Fox Fairy, save all the women of Lingzhou! Kill King Yin! Stand up for all the women of Lingzhou who died unjustly!!!"
She couldn't stand it anymore! She couldn't stand being held down by a man anymore! She couldn't stand hearing that her best friend had been murdered after getting married anymore. Qin Taohua knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Liang Zhou was not like this originally. Just like in the Qin family, the head of the family is Qin's mother. Although Qin's father is now the head of the family under the policy of King Yin, in fact, it is still Qin's mother who is in charge of the Qin family. Otherwise, how could Qin's mother drug her son so easily?
Every woman in Lingzhou is capable of supporting a family.
Qin Lang naturally knew all this. He could see from his memory that before King Yin came, women in Lingzhou were even stronger, and there was a situation where yin was stronger than yang. However, this was normal. Lingzhou was an extremely yin place, and it was good to women, so naturally yin was stronger than yang.
It was because of this that Ling Zhou was able to survive and avoid extinction. However, with the arrival of King Yin, the status of women has plummeted. Qin Lang actually felt all of this.
He remembered that it was not like this when he was a child. When he was a child, it was his mother and aunts who were busy outside, and his father and uncles were busy in the woods or in the fields. It was women who could cook herbs, and men could not learn these things.
At this moment, Qin Lang understood what Qin Taohua meant. It turned out that Taohua wanted not only the death of King Yin, but also the death of the government orders issued by King Yin!
So just as Qin Taohua expected, the huge red nine-tailed fox king swayed its nine tails and emitted a thick red mist.
He slowly walked in front of the people, and then walked through the crowd with his huge claws. The tail that accidentally swept over everyone was soft, but it made people feel inexplicably addicted, and there was a little bit of coldness that made people get goose bumps.
"Lord Yama, listen to my command. A woman from Lingzhou has died unjustly. She begs for help. By the order of the Fox King of Qingqiu, I will raise her spirit to comfort the departed soul!!!"
The strange and gloomy voice of the Nine-tailed Fox King seemed to come from his head. Not only did everyone in the Yin Palace hear it, but all the people who were sleeping in Lingzhou suddenly woke up and heard the voice of the Fox King.
A red mist began to spread out from Prince Yin's Palace.
"What's that noise?"
The man who woke up asked his wife beside him, but his wife looked serious.
"It's the Fox Fairy Grandma... The Fox Fairy Grandma has appeared."
The man's face turned grim for a moment, then he hugged his wife's arm and remembered the word "Qi Ling".
"Nothing will happen..."
As he asked, he felt that the originally dark sky outside turned red, a strange red, and he smelled a strange fragrance, a strong fragrance.
"Rhino horn..."
The woman smelled the odor instantly, then her face changed drastically. She stood up and rushed out frantically without even bothering to put on her clothes.
When the woman's husband saw her like this, he hurriedly followed her and grabbed her when she was about to go out.
"You can't go out! King Yin said that women in the city cannot leave the house, otherwise they will be arrested!!!"
The man had a very good relationship with his wife. Although King Yin had been here for many years, the man had never thought of suppressing his wife. He just didn't want her to be hurt, so he wanted to stop her now.
But the man's wife laughed.
"There's no more King Yin! The Fox Fairy Queen has spoken up for the woman from Lingzhou. You smell it! It's the scent of rhinoceros horn! Burning rhinoceros incense can communicate with ghosts!!! I want to go to the cemetery! I want to find my sister!!!"
In the thick red fog, the woman showed a trace of sadness. She knew a lot of strange things, but she was not afraid.
The man couldn't stop his wife in the end, so he could only say.
"Then I'll accompany you, we'll go together! Even if something happens, I'll die with you!!!"
The man and the woman originally lived in Quzhong County where the Yin Palace was located. Buried in the desolate cemetery of Quzhong County were women killed by the Yin King. Many of them were even women from Quzhong County. It was just that the Yin King did not allow the bodies of these women to be taken away, so they could only be thrown into the desolate cemetery. They were abused during their lifetime and could not return home after death. It was extremely pitiful.
The two men opened the door and rushed out, but they could not see anything on the street, only thick red fog. Even with lit lanterns, visibility was extremely low.
Even so, both the man and the woman were very familiar with the way to the desolate tomb. The woman's sister was met by King Yin on the road, abducted and taken to King Yin's palace where she died. It had been eight years since this incident, but the woman still couldn't see through it, so she always secretly went to the desolate tomb to offer sacrifices at night.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to feeling her way along this road, even if it is invisible or dark.
But this time, it was completely different. When the woman and the man came to the desolate grave together, the scene they saw was unbelievable and they were speechless in an instant.
What was originally a deserted graveyard was now surrounded by red fog, with black figures wrapped in the red fog. The slender figures were extremely stiff, and even had a strong earthy smell on their bodies. The woman instantly broke down and burst into tears.
"Little sister! Little sister, are you there?! Little sister! It's me! I'm here to look for you! Can you come home with me?"
Even though they had been separated by eight years, the woman still couldn't let go of her sister. She resented herself countless times for not taking good care of her sister and letting her be killed by King Yin. At this moment, all she saw were corpses rising from the dead, and each figure was the woman killed by King Yin.
These women crawled out of the desolate graves one by one, their bodies covered in mud, their wet hair draped behind them, and their terrifyingly pale faces that could give people nightmares all night long. Some of the women's bodies had even begun to rot due to the passage of time, and many insects were falling from their bodies.
Such a nightmarish scene did not scare the man and the woman. The woman noticed that the team seemed to be heading towards Prince Yin's Palace, and she kept calling her sister's name.
"Little sister! Little sister, where are you!!! Can you please come and see me!!!"
She cried and begged, and among the many upright corpses, one finally walked towards her slowly and swayingly. When this corpse walked towards the man and woman through the red mist, it revealed that face.
After eight years, the corpse had decayed to a certain extent. The flesh on the face had been corroded by insects, revealing the horrific white bones. Insects were constantly falling from her body, but just by looking at the appearance of the bones, the woman recognized that this was her sister.
"Little sister..."
She rushed over without hesitation and hugged the skeleton woman in her arms without any fear.
"Little sister... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
I didn't protect you well, I'm sorry...
The woman's tears fell on the skeleton, and the skeleton standing there patted her sister's back with its hands that had little flesh left.
"Don't be sorry."
The skeleton made the voice of her younger sister, which made the woman burst into tears.
Then the woman heard her sister's voice speaking again.
"Sister, we are going to take revenge, revenge..."
