Chapter 291: Protecting fellow villagers or being condemned by both gods and humans?
"The back mountain?" Wang Baoguo was stunned, then frowned slightly, "It's still more than half a month before the day of worship, why did she go so early?"
The middle-aged woman called Wang Baoguo's second uncle shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe the old woman knew that she didn't have much time left, so she wanted to pay her respects earlier. After all, she lived with those two disaster stars day and night."
"Cuihua!" Wang Baoguo glared at the middle-aged woman fiercely. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly noticed that Ning Changge was looking at his niece with curiosity.
Subconsciously, Wang Baoguo thought that Ning Changge wanted to know who the person who suddenly came was, so he pointed at the middle-aged woman and introduced her with a smile: "Ning Shangxian, this is my younger brother's child. I watched her grow up since she was a child. She..."
Ning Changge waved her hand to interrupt Wang Baoguo, but her eyes were fixed on Wang Cuihua. She asked curiously, "You said they went to the back mountain, and your second uncle just said they went to worship. What exactly is going on?"
This Ning Shangxian is so handsome... Wang Cuihua secretly swallowed her saliva, then bowed slightly and said truthfully:
"Replying to the Immortal, our Caomiao Village is the closest to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range among the nearby villages. There are many hills around it, but the most famous one is the Fox Hill behind the village."
"From a distance it looks like a real fox howling towards the sky, so the villagers named it Qingqiu Mountain, but..."
At the end, Wang Cuihua suddenly left a suspense: "But I know that this is just a trick used by the village elders to deceive the children. In fact, there is a big secret hidden in it."
Qingqiu Mountain, isn't that where Si Niang told me Miss Huang appeared last? Si Niang said it was near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. I didn't expect it to be behind Cao Miao Village. It was easy to get. It seems that my previous guess was right. Da Bao Shu would not let me take the task of leading the team for no reason... Ning Changge thought secretly in his heart, and his face showed an even more curious look:
"Tell me about it, Aunt Cuihua."
Wang Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "Well... Actually, it is said that many, many years ago, there were not three demon kings in the Wanshou Mountain Range, but four demon kings. The eldest of the four was not the current Lizun Kuanghu, but a thousand-year-old demon fox. This Qingqiu Mountain is her home. There are tens of thousands of foxes living on the mountain, and it is known as the [Holy Land of the Fox Clan]."
"Later, someone unknown what happened, the foxes on the mountain suddenly died inexplicably, and even the thousand-year-old demon fox disappeared all of a sudden. There are several rumors about her disappearance, but the most reliable one is that she did something that was outrageous to both humans and gods, and incurred the wrath of heaven."
The thousand-year-old demon fox mentioned by Wang Cuihua couldn't be Miss Huang, after all, she had fled to the East Wasteland... Ning Changge frowned slightly and said, "Did she offend the heavens?"
"Yes." Wang Cuihua nodded and said, "There are several elderly people in the village whose ancestors have lived here since that time. They have passed down from generation to generation that on the night when the thousand-year-old demon fox disappeared, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and they could vaguely hear people cursing and laughing and the angry roar of the fox."
At this time, Bai Xian'er, who had been playing with the big yellow dog guarding the door, suddenly said, "Aunt Wang, it sounds like the thousand-year-old fox demon was fighting with the monks, but she was no match for the humans and was killed by them, so she disappeared overnight and you couldn't see her."
I think so too... Ning Changge nodded in his heart.
Generally speaking, thunder tribulation will only occur when one is transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven. Of course, special cases are not excluded, such as Ning Changge's golden elixir thunder tribulation. This is an extremely rare example. After all, the "Tao Te Ching" that can make a person invincible in the same realm is not a joke!
Secondly, there are the thunder tribulations caused by techniques or formations, such as the Qingyun Immortal Sect's "True Art of Controlling Thunder with the Divine Sword". It is said that after practicing it to perfection, the immortal sword can draw the nine-fold heavenly thunder. One divine thunder can shatter even the darkness.
As for the formation to attract thunder, the one Ning Changge was most familiar with was the "Tian Gang Divine Thunder Subduing Demon Formation", the most famous and most lethal formation in the Beidou Domain. Concubine Huang Qing died in these densely packed purple-black divine thunders.
Wang Cuihua looked at Bai Xian'er, shook her head and said, "Fairy, I don't know about this. After all, it's just a rumor, and there's no way to verify whether it's true or false."
"But we all believed that this thousand-year-old demon fox had offended the gods, because that night the sky was filled with dense purple-black lightning."
"Normal lightning is white, how can it be purple and black? I think that demon fox did something against the will of heaven and angered the heaven."
Purple-black divine thunder... Ning Changge's pupils shrank suddenly: "Wait! Aunt Wang, what did you just say?"
Wang Cuihua blinked and said, "That demon fox did something so evil that it angered the heavens."
"It's not this sentence, it's the previous one." Ning Changge felt that he had heard something extraordinary.
Wang Cuihua replied to Ning Changge: "How can there be purple-black lightning? Aren't all lightning white?"
"I didn't hear it wrongly, it was really a purple-black divine thunder! Could it be another Tiangang Divine Thunder Demon Subduing Formation?" At this moment, Ning Changge inexplicably recalled the tragic scene when Concubine Huang Qing was struck by the divine thunder.
Wang Cuihua suddenly looked at Ning Changge curiously and said, "My Lord, is there something wrong with what I said? I have never seen purple-black lightning before."
It shouldn't be possible. After all, Xiao Yanji said that she destroyed the formation by self-detonation. There's no reason for the people from Beidou Domain to come here to build a formation again. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Or maybe it's just a rumor like Wang Cuihua said. Who knows whether it's true or not? But just in case, we still have to go to the back mountain of Cao Miao Village to take a look... Ning Changge quickly analyzed all the possible answers in his mind, and at the same time, he shook his head and smiled:
"No problem, go on."
"Then, Immortal, let me continue." After receiving Ning Changge's affirmative answer, Wang Cuihua continued, "In fact, there are people who have different opinions from you, Immortal. It's just that you think it was a magic spell, but she thinks that the thousand-year-old fox disappeared to protect the villagers. If she hadn't used her body to block the lightning, the villagers would have been struck to death."
Ning Changge's brain suddenly twitched for no apparent reason: "Could the person you are talking about be the Grandma Li who went to the back mountain to worship, and the person she was worshipping was the thousand-year-old demon fox?"
Wang Cuihua nodded and said, "Yes, Granny Li worships once every two and a half months, rain or shine, even in the cold winter and snow. The villagers have more or less advised her not to go to the mountains where there are wild animals, but she insists that people should not be ungrateful."
At this point, Wang Cuihua suddenly sighed: "Alas! This weird and stubborn old woman, doesn't she understand that those who are not of our race must have different hearts? We should be thankful that those scary and ferocious monsters don't eat us. How could they protect us?"
