Chapter 780 Where Did You Hear It?

Once, Qi Tongwei went to a neighboring city for business. In order to take a shortcut, he somehow walked into a mountain path with few people. The surroundings were so quiet that it was a bit depressing, and there was only the rustling sound of his footsteps on the fallen leaves. As he walked, the sky gradually darkened, and thick fog spread out at some point, covering the entire mountain forest, and visibility was extremely low.

Qi Tongwei felt a little uneasy and quickened his pace. Suddenly, a faint sobbing sound came from not far away, as if someone was crying. He stopped cautiously and looked around, but found nothing. Just as he was about to move forward, the sound rang again, and it became clearer. Curiosity overcame fear, and Qi Tongwei followed the direction of the sound.

Behind a bush, he saw a little white fox. Its legs were caught in a trap, blood dyed the surrounding grass red, and its eyes were full of pain and helplessness. Qi Tongwei's heart softened, and he walked forward and carefully opened the trap, holding the little fox in his arms. The little fox trembled slightly in his arms, whimpering softly, as if telling him about its experience.

Qi Tongwei decided to take the little fox out of the forest and find a place to treat its wounds. However, when he walked out of the forest with the little fox in his arms and came to a nearby town, something strange happened. The originally bustling streets became silent the moment he saw him holding the little fox. People cast strange glances at him, and some even showed a look of fear and hurriedly hid in their houses.

Qi Tongwei was full of doubts and didn't understand why everyone reacted like that. He found an inn and wanted to stay there and treat the little fox's wound. But when the innkeeper saw the little fox, his face suddenly changed and he refused to let Qi Tongwei stay there and told him to leave immediately. Qi Tongwei had no choice but to continue looking for a place to stay, but no matter where he went, he was rejected the same way.

It was getting darker and darker, and Qi Tongwei was tired and hungry, but had nowhere to go. Just when he felt desperate, the little fox suddenly jumped out of his arms and ran towards an abandoned house outside the town. Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, but still followed it.

Arriving in front of the house, the little fox stopped at the door and looked back at Qi Tongwei, as if signaling him to go in. Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and pushed open the shabby door. The door creaked open slowly, and a stale smell came to his face.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state, with a rickety pavilion in the middle. The little fox ran straight to the pavilion, and Qi Tongwei had no choice but to follow him in. After entering the pavilion, Qi Tongwei found that there was a faint blue light inside, and some strange instruments and spells were placed around.

Before he could react, the little fox suddenly transformed into a girl in white in front of him. The girl had a beautiful face, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. "Thank you for saving me, Qi Tongwei." The girl said in a clear and pleasant voice.

Qi Tongwei stepped back in shock, "You...you are a monster?" The girl smiled, "Yes, I am a fox demon. But don't worry, I won't hurt you. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died."

Qi Tongwei finally understood why the people in the town were so horrified when they saw him holding the little fox. He regretted his recklessness, but now that things have come to this, he can only face it. "Then why did you bring me here?" he asked.

The girl's expression became a little serious. "This house was once the residence of a powerful Taoist priest. After the Taoist priest left, it became deserted. But I found some powerful spiritual power fluctuations here, which may be able to help you."

Qi Tongwei looked bewildered. "Help me? What can I do for you?" The girl looked at him and said seriously, "You are destined to encounter a disaster, and this disaster is related to your family heritage. I can feel that you are carrying some special mission. This house may contain clues to solve the mystery."

Qi Tongwei recalled the mysterious legends of his family and the teachings of his great-grandmother, and an inexplicable expectation surged in his heart. He followed the girl around the house and finally found an ancient book in a hidden corner of the basement.

The text on the book was obscure and difficult to understand. Qi Tongwei and the girl took great pains to decipher part of the content. It turned out that the book recorded an ancient mission about protecting world peace, and Qi Tongwei's family seemed to be the inheritor of this mission.

Just as they were concentrating on studying the classics, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the house. Qi Tongwei and the girl hurried out of the basement, only to see the residents of the town holding torches and weapons, surrounding the house.

"Monster, come out and die!" "Don't let the monster get away!" The residents shouted loudly and excitedly. Qi Tongwei realized that they were here to catch the fox demon.

The girl looked at the scene in front of her, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. "They misunderstood. I won't hurt anyone." She said helplessly. Qi Tongwei stood in front of the girl and said loudly: "Everyone calm down, she has no ill intentions."

However, the residents did not listen to his explanation and rushed into the house. Qi Tongwei and the girl were in a desperate situation. They tried to explain while dodging the attacks of the residents. But the situation became more and more chaotic and out of control.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei suddenly remembered some spells recorded in the classics. He tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body according to the methods in the classics, and unexpectedly it actually succeeded. He cast a protective barrier to protect himself and the girl.

The residents were even more terrified when they saw this scene, and their attacks became more fierce. Qi Tongwei felt that his spiritual power was gradually running out, and cracks began to appear in the protective barrier. Just when he was about to collapse, a familiar light descended from the sky.

The figure of the great grandmother slowly emerged, her eyes full of majesty. "Stop!" The great grandmother gave an order, and the residents seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

The grandmother looked at Qi Tongwei and the girl and sighed slightly, "This is all arranged by fate. Child, you are finally beginning to get in touch with the family secrets."

It was originally a good story that I didn't want to go back to. Why do you have to hold on to it? Are you sick? Don't dwell on it anymore. It's really disgusting. Don't dwell on these facts anymore. It doesn't matter.

Qi Tongwei looked at his great-grandmother, his eyes full of doubt and inquiry, "Grandma, what is the secret of this family? Why have I never heard of it?"

There really is no such thing as hearing flowers falling somewhere.
