Chapter 199
[I didn't realize this before, but now that these four scenes are displayed side by side, I have a firm feeling that these four things will not appear only once…]
[The description of each lot seems a bit vague (honestly)]
[Tian Yan would not waste time and effort to create something unimportant, right? Just like the Kunwu Sword, it will definitely end up crying in the end, no matter what the way.]
The last four side-by-side pictures were in four different, thrilling tones. Yu Tu originally thought that Tian Yan would explain or hint at something further, but the comic only switched to a secluded wilderness in a blurry shot.
The first picture that appeared in the wilderness was covered with a language frame full of thorns.
"Wow! What is that!!!"
The shot turned to the person who was speaking. It was a Q version of Gu Hongying who was waving his hands wildly, almost to the point of leaving a shadow. Exaggerated tears were streaming down his eyes and his face had a miserable expression. After Gu Hongying's shadowless arm stopped, he was biting the little fox that had appeared at the auction house before on the tip of his thumb. Half of the little fox's body had taken shape, and the other half had merged with the red pattern on the mask in his right hand.
After blood beads appeared on Gu Hongying's thumb, the little fox turned his head and made a few "Puh, Puh, Puh" sounds, looking very disgusted. His raised face was full of disdain: "You bought me for 420,000, and you should be secretly happy. How dare you dislike me?"
"The mask is alive?" Gu Hongying had a huge "Shock" sign on his forehead. "Do I need to get a rabies vaccine if I get bitten?"
[The rabies vaccine is really enough! Oh, can you not be so weird in your thinking? Be careful that the little fox will get angry and beat you up! [Dog head.JPG]]
[In such an unscientific situation, we don't need to talk about science, right? [Hesitant to speak.JPG]]
[Although I should have made a profit by buying the little fox for 420,000, but as a working man, I felt my breath stop when I heard the price. Usually, when I read comics, I don't feel anything when I see millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, but a few hundred thousand, which is not too big or too small, really makes me feel involved.
A comic reader's words came true. The little fox was confused at first about what "rabies vaccine" was. After Gu Hongying explained it seriously, the mini red fox rolled its eyes. Then it put its front paws on the back of Gu Hongying's hand, revealing its entire body. It then jumped onto Gu Hongying's head with its hind paws and unilaterally ruffled his hair into a mess.
[I'm not surprised at all when they start fighting...]
[TuTu and the others beside them seem to have no idea how to start the fight hahahaha————]
[At this time, we need someone who can calm the whole place down! Show up! My dear wife!]
The comic lived up to expectations. Someone intervened in the "battlefield", calmly restrained Gu Hongying with one hand, and grabbed the little fox by the back of the neck with the other hand: "Stop."
The camera zoomed out further, and Buyehou appeared among them with a look of helplessness on his face. His left hand was holding Gu Hongying's crossed arms, and in his right hand he was holding the little fox that was grabbed by the back of the neck and was still showing its fangs and claws.
[Wife: It's really hard to take care of pups nowadays (subconsciously looking at Tutu), my pups are less of a worry.]
[Hahahahaha, are Yingying and the little fox three years old together? My wife has restrained the man and she still has to explain to both sides [pointing and gesturing.JPG]]
[Such a lively little fox is actually a bunch of memories?! The inner world is really magical!]
After this "farce", the cheerful and bright tone of the comics changed and gradually became darker. These pages of the comics no longer focused on Gu Hongying, but on Buyehou.
In the comic, Buyehou took off his monocle, revealing his entire face. Without the obstruction of the lenses, his beautifully shaped eyes seemed like a product of natural skill, sketched and painted with the utmost care, as if the spirit of mountains and rivers were all gathered in these eyes.
[Beauty! Face! Violence! Attack!
Ahhhhh, she is worthy of being my wife!!]
[Screenshot taken! This will be my phone wallpaper from today!]
[What the hell, will Tutu be this pretty when he grows up? Then won't I be able to have twice as many wives in the future?! [Little Shark lost in thought.JPG]]
[I can't imagine how sunny and cheerful I would be if such a day really came!]
[Thinking about it, I feel like the body spots I got at work have faded...]
Yu Tu: “……?”
He was also dazzled by the close-up of Buyehou, and he took a screenshot manually. The action of taking off the monocle was really handsome. He saved it and thought about it carefully, hoping to be more handsome next time (crossed out).
After the close-up, it was seen that Marquis Buye put on the mask with a white background and red patterns on his face. His previous elegance changed to a serious and gentle one with a hint of weirdness, which was another different style. Yu Tu had a deeper understanding of how big of a filter Tian Yan had cast on Marquis Buye.
In the comic, the hand that Buye had clasped on the mask gently put down, and the other hand was raised. The [antique fragment] that the four king lanterns were fighting for turned into wisps of smoke in the air without warning. Red lines entangled with green smoke floated and tore a gap in front of the eyes. The gap seemed to be black, and there seemed to be flowing stars. This irregular gap finally formed a long and narrow crack like a door, like an eye standing on the ground.
A strange black and red aura flowed out from the "eyes", one stream flowing towards the masked Hou Buye, and the other stream flowing towards Gu Hongying next to Hou Buye. Hou Buye dispersed the strange aura with ease, but Gu Hongying was hit directly, and had nine extra furry tails and a black aura.
[Okay, okay, after the Shirosawa Experience Card, it's the Nine-Tailed Fox Experience Card. Oh, these days are so colorful:)]
[How come you are the one who got caught again this time?! Although we all come from non-chief groups, you are the king among the non-chiefs?]
[I saw Yingying's ten-day experience record in Shirazawa before. Yingying used to step on her tail when she walked and pierce the door frame with her corners. Now she has learned to run through cracks with nine tails and run faster than anyone else... I actually feel a strange sense of relief?]
[Hahahahaha, you're used to such outrageous things, right?]
In the comic, Gu Hongying was the first to sneak into the rift, dragging his nine big furry tails. The others followed him into the rift, and in the end, only Buyehou and Yu Tu were left outside the rift.
[When my wife and son looked at each other, there was only one word in my mind—tacit understanding!]
[As expected of Tutu, who can say "I represent the owner" when his wife is out! Look at their tacit understanding!]
[When we were about to enter the void gate, my wife actually pulled the baby back and put me behind her. So cute!]
[Hahahahaha, how can I not spoil my own child! Don't forget your wife's true identity——]
When the vest and the original body embarked on the road in the void gate together, the comic readers became more active.
[I understand that you are worried about losing contact, but why do you have to walk a distance and touch the back of your hand? Just pull her! My wife is my child! Just pull her, what are you afraid of?]
[You can even let Tutumiao raise Xiaohui and open a teahouse for you when you go out. Now, can't you just pamper your child a little if he is afraid of the black? [I hate that iron cannot be made into steel.JPG]]
[Older people should learn how to express love. Look at how cautious our Dodder is! Honey, bring Dodder to me and I will teach you how to raise a healthy cub!]
[Hey, the guy in front, the abacus beads hit my face!]
The readers' activities continued until the end of the darkness behind the Void Gate, and then... they disappeared briefly.
What appears before your eyes is an extremely impactful picture. Even if it is just a work drawn by a brush, it still shocks you beyond words.
The blue-grey sky was without the sun or the moon, and the ground of the same color was covered with black cracks. The rich life of the earth was drying up and dying, leaving only a gray scene.
In the center of the blue-gray world, there stands a tower that seems to be corroded, with a few green threads clinging to it. Next to the tower, a cartoon indicates its identity—[Town Tower].
Marquis Buye stood at the foot of the tower. The smoke that had come in with him drifted onto the red tower wall, making a sizzling sound like corrosion. Marquis Buye placed his hand on the corroded area, and a light blue light overflowed from his palm, speeding up the progress. In such a dangerous place, he seemed to be a little distracted, but the mask covered his face, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
[What is my wife thinking about?]
[I feel like my wife is a little unhappy now, even though she was very happy outside the Void Gate...]
[I have a bold idea. Could it be that my wife knows what is locked up in the tower?!]
[Hiss——Don't rule out this possibility!]
The subsequent development of the comic seemed to verify the readers' vague guesses. When Gu Hongying shouted "Mom" and rushed over Buyehou, Buyehou grabbed his shoulder as if it was a conditioned reflex, and then... a drop of blood splashed into Gu Hongying's eyes, and the dark red in his eyes, which was almost black, quickly faded. A dazed look appeared on his face, and the camera of the comic pulled into his eyes, presenting a complete picture—
On the white mask with red patterns worn by Buyehou, the red patterns were raised high like sharp knives, cutting Buyehou's hand that was controlling it. Buyehou's palm was instantly covered in blood, and the bright red blood dripped onto the ground like beads, blooming into blood-red flowers.
[Ahhhh my wife is injured QAQ! How could my wife be injured by such a weird thing! ]
[Ooooooooooo, my hands are covered in blood, how painful it must be!]
[I felt like I was going insane. The first thing that came to my mind was, will my wife get hurt too?!]
[To be honest, I also...]
[It’s so strange. When I was reading comics before, I never thought that a character would never get hurt…]
[Maybe it’s because Buyehou is mysterious and powerful as soon as he appears, and problems can be easily solved as long as he is there, so he is particularly reliable and trustworthy, so——]
[He is a human being, not a god. How can he not get hurt? I am so heartbroken.
Yu Tu looked at these comments and suddenly closed his eyes. He felt energy. Although it was not particularly pure, the amount was huge. It was flowing into his body in strands, and there seemed to be more to come.
Are heartache, worry, and concern also a form of energy?
The Lord of Buye can get hurt and bleed. Building on his previous display of "omnipotence", this will only make his image more flesh and blood?
Yu Tu suddenly realized something.
He quickly flipped the comic to the back, and sure enough, after the confrontation in the town tower, he used energy to seal the hole caused by corrosion, and after Gu Hongying carried his mother and the original body and rushed out together, the comic actually used interlaced expressions.
One set of shots shows Gu Hongying and his team struggling to find a way out in the spreading black cracks, and the other set shows his confrontation with the Fallen Nine-Tailed Fox.
In the rolling black and red breath, the giant fox lowered its head. The little fox formed by the memory ball had been bitten and swallowed. The tip of the giant fox's nose twitched, and its eyes were cloudy and bloody:
"Big Tea Tree, thousands of years have passed and you have become much weaker."
[Drag the prophet in front of me out! My wife actually knows this big fox!]
[Thousands of years have passed—I told you! My wife has lived a very long life indeed!!]
[If my wife’s strength is still the weakened version, how much stronger would the full version be… I can’t imagine!]
[No, calling my wife Big Tea Tree? Is that polite?]
[I advise the comic fans above to delete their comments. I am crying like a dog now after reading the comments later...]
Yu Tu sat up from the recliner. He remembered that when he had come across the information about the phoenix on Mount Sitai, he had thought that the comics would include the past of Marquis Buye. However, it did not. Tian Yan only hinted that Marquis Buye had a close relationship with the phoenix, but there was no mention of Marquis Buye's past.
In the updates since then, whenever the past of Buyehou is involved, it is either mentioned in a seemingly plausible way or cleverly avoided with other plots. No one's past is avoided in the comics, except Buyehou's.
Sometimes Yu Tu even doubted whether Buyehou really existed. If he existed, why did he have no past? If he didn't exist, why did so many people know him?
Everything is full of strange contradictions.
The Fallen Nine-Tailed Fox obviously knows the Nevernight Marquis, so will there be any reference to the past in this update?
Yu Tu's heart sank after he flipped through a few pages. What made the readers sob in the comic was not the memories between Buye and the Fallen Nine-Tailed Fox, but the same seemingly plausible inducement and avoidance of other plots as before.
When Buyehou asked Jiuwei why he called him "Big Tea Tree", Jiuwei narrowed his eyes and said, "You really don't remember anything, Jiamuying."
Yu Tu remembered that when Jiuwei said this, he looked hideous and terrifying, with the malice unique to a monster. But in the comics, Jiuwei, which had become a monster, actually had a somewhat "human" look after clever treatment.
[I felt something was wrong before, so my wife must have lost her memory!]
[Help! My bad premonition has come true QAQ! I said my wife must have paid a heavy price to live for such a long time, so how much does she still remember? She seems to still remember her previous life!]
[Help... The memory of death suddenly attacks me! Wuwuwu, don't mention Zangsheng!]
The comic happened to insert some memories at this time, not of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but the scene of Buyehou carrying the little red fox at the auction.
The reaction of the little fox formed by its memory proved that it did know the Lord of Buye—the Lord of Buye in another identity.
[Is Jia Muying another identity that my wife has used?]
[They are all just a bunch of memories, but I am still jealous. My jealous wife has a new cub...]
[Did you see the note? Fallen monsters don’t have human emotions. The little fox is obviously a memory that was separated and carefully preserved… It feels good to think about it TAT]
[Save your tears, my fellow comic fans. I will update later. I am crying so hard that I am about to flood the Golden Mountain!]
In the comics, Lord Buye did not fight with the fallen Nine-Tailed Fox. The terrifying monster stared at Lord Buye and said that it was acting coquettishly.
Then, the Nine-Tailed Fox became smaller, and it invited Buyehou to follow it. The comic strip took on a depressing tone, and became like an old photo from many years ago, blurry, yellowed, and a little distorted.
In this distorted color tone, Kyuubi's eyes swept across the messy first floor. It walked on the stairs, and the terrifying feeling disappeared as it became smaller. On the far right of the second floor, there was a wooden round table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a lounge chair on the right, a rocking chair on the left, and a simple round stool facing the floor-to-ceiling window - this was the best preserved corner of the entire second floor.
Jiuwei introduced this place softly, but when he jumped onto the rocking chair piled with toys, everything turned to dust. Memories were like these rotten woods, fragile and vulnerable.
Its crimson eyes stared at the scattered powder. The distortion of the comic became more serious. Kyuubi's sigh was clear: "Look, in time... everything turned to ash."
"Big Tea Tree, you have completely forgotten." Kyuubi's tail hung lifelessly on the ground, covered with dust. There seemed to be tears in its eyes, but it seemed to be just an illusion. "When I called you like this before, you had already picked me up and combed my hair."
[What the hell! What the hell! The more I watch this, the sadder I get———]
[Ahhh, wuwuwu, it has already said so, it cannot be made more explicit! Honey, why don’t you pick up the little fox and comb its fur!]
[Time has changed, nothing is left, only memories remain... Are you going to kill me with a knife, my friend?]
[Wuwuwuwu what is this? It's a knife! It's a knife!! (Screaming)(Pierced by the long knife)(Walks to the end)(Still a knife)(Goes crazy in the dark)(Drags everyone to death)]
The Nine-Tailed Fox slowly stood up, and as its size grew, the distorted color tone disappeared in the frames. The memories were fragile and had to return to reality eventually.
The Nine-Tailed Fox bared its fangs and bit the person in front of it. It came out of its past memories, but the person in front of it did not, so its fangs bit through the arm of Buyehou, drawing blood.
The Buye finally took action, and the aftermath of their fight turned the carefully guarded corner into dust, leaving nothing behind.
[Honey, don’t resist passively. It’s no longer the little fox it used to be! Fight back! Fight back quickly!]
[Don't dwell on the past, it's a strange beast, not a nine-tailed beast! Honey, wake up!]
[It's not holding back. If you don't resist, you'll die! Attack it! Attack it!]
The readers' anxiety could not be conveyed to the comics. They could only watch as the wounds on Buyehou's body became more and more. With the last blow, Buyehou fell out of the floor-to-ceiling window. Everyone thought that Jiuwei would chase him out, but it didn't. In the comics, Jiuwei and Buyehou met eyes through the huge hole in the second floor. Jiuwei's eyes were cloudy and scarlet, with blood on his teeth and claws, but Buyehou's eyes were slightly red.
[Wife...did you remember something?]
The silver-white formation climbed up the dark red wall like a vine from the rusted bottom of the tower. When the silver-white light was about to cover the huge hole, the nine-tailed fox on the second floor moved its ears. It took one last look outside, turned around and walked back into the tower.
When they were fighting before, the mottled white mask fell in the corner of the second floor. Nine-Tailed Fox dug the mask out from the rubble, picked it up and walked to the window. The window was all silver and white, and nothing could be seen.
After staring at it for a while, Kyuubi threw the mask into the silver-white light. The formation shattered the mottled mask into pieces, turning it into a puff of red smoke.
It lay prone on the ground and stopped moving. At the same moment, Buyehou, who was about to leave the Gate of Void, looked back suddenly. His eyes were empty, with nothing in them.
The silver light grew stronger and stronger, and the town tower turned into a reverse cage. The void began to disappear from the first floor all the way to the corner of the second floor. The black void climbed up the nine-tailed beast's tail and left it forever in the darkness.
After leaving the Void Gate, Hou Hun had wounds all over his body, with blood gushing out as if it was about to run out. There were claw marks from his right shoulder to his heart, a bloody mess.
The comic page moved to Buyehou's hands, which were tightly grasping Yu Tu's arm, as if he would disappear from sight if he let go.
Tian Yan once again portrayed the eyes of Buyehou, but this time it was no longer the same as before. It seemed that all the beauty of the mountains and rivers was gathered in his eyes.
This time, his eyes were dim, distracted and dazed.
Buyehou tightly grasped Yu Tu beside him, his appearance reflected in his eyes, as if this was his last anchor, holding him back in this world.
[The last page made me dumbfounded! Tian Yan, you old thief, come out and die! Why did you stab me with a knife! Tell me why you stabbed me with a knife!!]
[No wonder the film focused so much on my wife’s eyes in the beginning, just to give me one at the end???]
[I feel like a knife rack filled with knives...]
[Tian Yan, are you going to kill all my wife's old friends one by one? Make him sad over and over again? ! [Completely crazy.JPG]]
[Tian Yan, where is your conscience when you torture my wife like this? Hey Xiao Hui?!]
[Tianyan, are you asleep? I can’t sleep (smile)]
