Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises.

Chapter 13 Fox Fairy Statue, Tombstone

Qin Jiang was slightly startled and his breathing became a little disordered, but then he adjusted his breathing in an instant.

As expected, there is a vixen! And in human form!

Drawing out the black water and holding it in his hand, he slowly mobilized the internal energy in his body and observed the structure of the mine through the bronze mirror.

Now that he had killed two vixens, he had formed an irreconcilable feud and had no other choice.

Soon, his internal energy accumulated to its peak. He rushed out of the corner and stepped on the wall of the mine. His legs bent like springs and then straightened instantly, and his body rushed towards the female figure.

Just as he was about to strike with his knife, he suddenly realized that this was not a woman at all, but clearly just a female statue.

He flipped his body, leaped and landed lightly on the ground without making any sound.

He looked at the statue. It was larger than an ordinary person, about two meters tall. Its clothes were painted with colorful paints, and its face looked lifelike.

Looking around, there are several tables and chairs, which are very clean, just like the main room of an ordinary person's home.

The source of light in the mine cave comes from a few sticks of white wax. The wax used to make candles has a slight fragrance when it burns.

There were several wooden boxes placed in the corner. I walked closer and opened them gently, revealing some palm-sized pieces of blood-red metal neatly stacked inside.

Blood gold!
He picked up a piece and weighed it. It weighed ten kilograms! This palm-sized piece of blood gold alone was almost as heavy as his black water.

Putting down the blood gold and gently closing the lid, he looked inside the mine and a wooden door appeared before him.

He looked back at the statue, thought for a moment, walked over, and raised his hand to place it on the hem of the statue.

No potential points.

He withdrew his hand with some disappointment, holding the black water in one hand and the bronze mirror in the other.

He slowly approached the door and carefully extended the bronze mirror.

What I saw through the bronze mirror was not the bedroom I had imagined, but a row of stone tablets. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

I walked in with some surprise and saw a row of stone tablets, a total of seventeen.

Walk forward and examine the inscription on the stone tablet.

The zither and the harp are still there but the strings are broken, but the voice and appearance are no longer there but the tears are hard to dry.

Xia, the former Li's name was Heng Gong. He was originally born in the fourth month of the Dingwei year and died in the twelfth month of the Guimao year.

My husband is the son of Yingsheng and the grandson of Chaohuan. I am writing this inscription on your tombstone. Who knows how miserable I am? I have no hope. I lean against your tomb and prostrate myself before your tombstone, shedding tears in vain.

Are you missing your husband?
Qin Jiang looked at the other tombstones with puzzled eyes. Seventeen husbands?

There is a tombstone but no grave, so is there no body left?

I gently stroked the tombstone with my fingertips. There was not a speck of dust on it. It was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.

But who would come here?

"Son~"

Just as he was wondering, a charming voice sounded from behind him, which made him startle and he suddenly slashed behind him with his knife.

His internal energy surged, the light of a knife appeared, and his body turned towards the door.

Swish!
The knife flashed through the air and slashed on the door frame, leaving a mark.

"My lord is so majestic~"

A charming laugh was heard, and Qin Jiang looked carefully, and two unexpected figures appeared in front of him.

It was exactly Xian'er and Yu'er in the fox spirit's illusion, but at this moment, the hems of their skirts seemed a little illusory. They were not walking on the ground, but floating an inch above the ground. Through the illusory skirts, one could see the gravel behind them.

The knife he had just swung went straight through the two men's bodies without causing any harm.

"What are you guys?"

Blackwater fell to his side, ready to attack at any time. Xian'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sir, don't be nervous. After you killed the two fox demons, my sister and I were freed. Now I still have a thought, just want to come back to see you gentlemen."

Qin Jiang's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. Demon?

"What is your relationship with those two fox demons? Are you talking about the owners of these tombstones?"

Xian'er nodded slightly, her red skirt fluttering in the wind, "My lord, have you ever heard that a tiger can turn a human into a ghost if it eats a human?"

Qin Jiang looked at her, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.

"The mountain king can turn into a ghost after eating people. My sister and I are not much different from the ghost, so we have no choice but to obey the fox demon's orders.

My sister and I are originally from the Lin clan of Yanzhou Prefecture. We passed through this place with our family caravan more than sixty years ago, but unexpectedly we met our deaths at the hands of a fox demon and became its accomplices.

As for the young men that Xian'er mentioned, they were the owners of these tombstones. They were all unfortunate people who were lured here by my sister and me.

Seventeen of them, all husbands who had worshipped heaven and earth with us. After the death of the husbands, my sister and I erected this tombstone without a grave.

Speaking of this, Xian'er and Yu'er looked lonely. Those gentlemen were all very good people. If it weren't for that fox demon, why would it have come to this?
Qin Jiang's eyes were indifferent, without any emotion. "You just said that you are going to be freed. What do you mean?"

Xian'er smiled bitterly, "In less than a moment, my sister and I will disappear and go to the illusory reincarnation."

She looked at the tombstone with her eyes lowered, filled with an indelible sadness.

"It's just a pity for you gentlemen. After being devoured by the fox demon, your souls were scattered and you couldn't even enter the reincarnation cycle."

Qin Jiang said nothing after hearing this and walked aside silently.

Xian'er smiled slightly, like a beautiful peony in full bloom.

She and Yu'er looked at each other, took out a handkerchief from their arms, and the two girls floated to the tombstone and gently wiped it.

After a while, after wiping the last tombstone, the figures of the two women gradually became blurred, and dots of fluorescence dissipated from under their skirts.

Xian'er looked at Qin Jiang, "Sir, the night is long and the fire is dim, so my sister and I will go now. It's a pity that I was unable to form a good relationship with you."

As soon as the words fell, the two women's figures suddenly shattered and turned into fluorescent dots and dissipated.

A jade pendant appeared in his palm, and Qin Jiang looked at the two women who disappeared with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Reincarnation, is there reincarnation in this world?
Shaking his head and putting away the jade pendant, he returned to the mine and walked to the wooden box containing the blood gold.

He tore off half of his sleeve, took out ten pieces of red gold, wrapped them up and carried them behind his back.

One hundred pounds is not too heavy, and the size is just right so it won’t affect his movements.

If there are too many, he will have to let go of some. The location of the mine is already within the Dahei Mountain. When he goes back, he must ensure that his own strength will not be affected.

He walked to the corner of the mine, looked back at the statue, and then left without looking back.

Soon, it was almost evening when we passed through the dense black forest and walked out of the Great Black Mountain.

By the time he returned to Black Mountain City, it had already become completely dark.

There were still a large number of refugees outside the city gate, but they were all sitting there powerlessly, without any sign of life.

As we walked into the city, we saw more refugees on the streets. I didn’t know if they came from other districts.

After walking through the street and arriving at the fence, there was no one guarding it. No one knew where Wang Dali and the members of the Red Tiger Gang had gone.

He took the blood gold off his back and held it in his hand. He first went to Liu's blacksmith shop to exchange it for silver. The other party did not give him cash, but silver notes.

This was a good thing for him. Although it was the end of the dynasty, it was not yet to the point where money houses would lose their credibility. In comparison, silver bills were more convenient to carry.

When we arrived at the clinic, lanterns had already been hung outside the door, but the red light could only illuminate an area of ​​less than ten meters.

Walking into the clinic, the old doctor was sitting quietly in front of the hall. When he saw Qin Jiang coming back, he smiled slightly, as if he was waiting for him.

"But you have already mastered the third level of the Five Animal Play?"
