Chapter 1700 The Boat in Desperate Situation (2)

"This is a story that the old fox often told in the past. There was once a boat that carried many people, walking on an endless river. There was endless food on the boat, there were endless scriptures, there were all the joys, and there were All hope, it just keeps walking, people keep coming in, and people are constantly being born on the ship, making this big ship more and more lively and peaceful, so much so that many people call this ship "The Big Ship". The ship is the other shore, because they feel that they already have everything on this ship and never have to go ashore again. This ship is their destination, and they will always drift with the tide..."

Old Phoenix really spoke like this, his tone was calm, and his face looked a little gloomy in the Immortal Palace.

Fang Xing, Kong Kong'er, Xiao Hu and others all listened quietly, and no one dared to interrupt him.

"But sweet dreams will eventually wake up..."

As Old Phoenix talked, his voice slowly sank. When it reached the lowest point, he suddenly said, and the expression on his face became a little ferocious: "There are more and more people on the boat. They are all They need to eat, and food grows on the boat. The more they eat, the more fragile the boat becomes. Some people eat too much food on the boat, and it becomes heavier and heavier. Finally one day, they discover a terrible The fact is that this ship can no longer carry these people and will capsize at any time..."

A little fox heard this and couldn't help but come close to the fox girl Xiaoyi.

But the fox girl Xiao Yi subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Fang Xing, as if she wanted to move closer, but in the end she didn't dare to move.

"Then what can be done?"

Old Phoenix murmured to himself and asked, with a strange expression on his face: "We can't all die together, so the person at the helm of their ship spoke. Since there were too many people on the ship and it was too heavy, then Throw some down..."

When he said this, his expression had become inexplicably gloomy, and his tone was calm, but it made people feel chilly: "So they started to throw some people off the ship, but after throwing some people, the ship still sank, so They began to throw more people away, one by one, throwing away the new people on the ship, and throwing away some useless people, but it was still not enough, so they began to throw away some people who were not with themselves. The people who stood aside were thrown away. The funny thing is that these people who had thrown many people away were still immersed in a ridiculous dream, saying that they could stay on the ship forever, so they called themselves eternal..."

"But in the end, they will still wake up from this dream, because they are throwing more and more people aboard, and even some of their own people who have agreed to stay on the ship forever have been thrown off by them, but the ship It still has to sink, why?”

When Old Phoenix said this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and his eyes swept over Fang Xing and others, as if asking.

But before Fang Xing and others could answer, he had already given the answer with a smile: "Because they themselves are the heaviest people, they have thrown away countless people, none of them can compare to one of their own toes. If the head is heavy, how can the boat not sink?”

This is indeed a simple story, but Fang Xing and others felt a little depressed after listening to it.

"They...why can't they eat less?"

Fang Xing, Kong Kong'er, and even the more mature fox girl Xiao Yi didn't speak at this time. However, among the bunch of little foxes, the little girl who was the plumpest opened her mouth in a cute way, looking at her He looked like he was really worried about the people on the boat, and even had some understanding. He said seriously: "Eat less, you will be lighter, and you can leave less people behind..."

"They don't dare!"

Old Phoenix laughed mysteriously: "If they eat less, they will become weak and be thrown into the water by other strong people!"

"Then they..."

Another little fox spoke hesitantly: "Can't they make the boat stronger?"

"Someone has tried it..."

Old Phoenix laughed: "But they all failed. The ship cannot be repaired because the speed of repair is far slower than the speed of destruction..."

A bunch of little foxes, you look at me, I look at you, but no one says anything.

For them, raising these questions is really difficult for them.

Moreover, they are both ice-snow and smart. Although they have not experienced much, they also vaguely understand that this story is not that simple.

After listening to this story, Fang Xing had not spoken a word until now, and he couldn't help but speak: "Has anyone ever tried to throw the strongest man into the water?"

"have!"

Old Phoenix spoke without hesitation: "Many people were not dead after being thrown into the water. They were filled with hatred and pain, so they decided to take revenge in order to save the people on the boat, so they arranged a great plan. Big plans..."

"If that's the case, then why does Qingqiu Fox King keep his greatest inheritance in Thirty-Three Heavens?"

After hearing this, Fang Xing frowned and suddenly asked in a deep voice.

At this time, he was no longer too lazy to ask using the words in the story, but asked directly.

When Old Phoenix heard this, he laughed: "Because he was worried. Even if those people who fell into the water worked together and they did it and threw the strongest person on the boat into the water, the boat would still be damaged. , it will still capsize, and everything will happen again. He is afraid that his descendants will be too weak and will be thrown into the water by the new helmsman of the ship..."

After hearing this sentence, Fang Xing stopped talking, and his whole face became very strange.

At this time, Old Phoenix also looked at him with deep meaning.

The two people's eyes intertwined for a few seconds, and they looked at each other quietly, but in the end no one spoke.

A slight sense of depression lingered in this palace for a long time.

At this moment, Kong Kong'er also turned to look at Fang Xing, as if he wanted to ask something, but didn't say anything. He just frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Old Phoenix and said in a deep voice: " Senior, his descendants will not be easily thrown into the water again. Now is not the time to consider this issue. What is needed now is for everyone to do their best to drive the strongest person on the ship into the water. Otherwise, sooner or later everything will be over. The ship will sink, and everyone will lose hope of getting on board again..."

When he said this, he paused lightly and whispered: "So... where is the last inheritance of the demon world now?"

The question finally returned to its original point, and even Fang Xing couldn't help but raise his head and look at Old Phoenix.

"You are a smart monkey!"

Old Phoenix looked at Kong Kong'er, praised him, then looked at Fang Xing, seemed to ponder for a moment, and laughed softly: "Since you dare to ask this question in front of him, it means that you believe him, then I also I won’t hide it from you anymore. That old fox abandoned his reputation and even risked being scolded by future generations for thousands of years to preserve his inheritance. Here he is..."

"it's here?"

As soon as these words came out, the little foxes all became energetic.

Fang Xing's eyes also lit up. Although his mood was still very heavy, he glanced around subconsciously.

"What you can't see now, because the door hasn't been opened yet..."

Old Phoenix laughed softly, his smile seemed a little mysterious.

"The key..."

Kong Kong'er and others all remembered what the old Phoenix had just said, and their hearts moved slightly.

"You have brought the key back..."

Old Phoenix gently raised his hand, holding a mask in his palm.

Kong Kong'er and Fang Xing were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the green fox ghost face was the key. The Qingqiu Fox King really made a big circle, first sending the key back to Tianyuan, and then Asking Tianyuan's heir to send it back, and then asking Old Phoenix to wait here, telling the heir that this is the key, no matter how you think about it, makes people feel a little overly cautious...

"How do you open that door?"

Kong Kong'er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked this question.

This was also the sentence that the little fox, Fang Xing and others were most concerned about, and all eyes turned over.

"I won't tell you now!"

When Old Phoenix heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter, making everyone present feel their hearts sink.

But before they could ask, Old Phoenix had already said the answer himself: "The old fox has risked his reputation, and I have risked almost everything to retain the inheritance. How can I hand it over to you so easily? Especially when the person who brought this key back was actually just a little fox who had just formed a golden elixir and not even an immortal infant? Haha, if you want this inheritance, it’s not that simple. Go and prove it first. The ability to inherit this side, if these descendants simply don’t have enough ability to retain these inheritances, then it is better not to give it to you, because getting the treasure will only make you die faster..."

"this……"

Kong Kong'er, who was a little angry at first, fell silent after hearing this, seeming to acknowledge the truth.

So after being silent for a while, he just asked directly: "How to prove it?"

There was a trace of murderous intent in the eyes of the old Phoenix, and his voice became cold: "Old Fox had no choice but to accept the invitation to enter the eternal fairy palace. However, in the demon world, there are really scum who betrayed the demon clan and transformed into He had been a big shot for thirty-three days, but no matter what his methods, the old fox still used tricks to kill them one by one. However, he had not killed them all. There was an evil beast who was the Demon King at the beginning, and he surrendered. Emperor Cang opened the gate to the demon world, and the old fox tried his best to force him to leave the Great Cangtian, but he is still alive and well now, you go and kill him!"

Kong Kong'er heard this and grinned: "Who is it?"

Old Phoenix's voice was cold and cold, and he suddenly raised his voice: "One of the Six Demonic Heavens, the Demon Lord of the Great Hell Heaven is holding a corpse in his arms!"
