1168. Tomb of Tusi King (110) Fox Kings Fight
How can one become the beast king - the fox king?
This cannot be achieved by strength. Throughout history, foxes that have cultivated to the Tao are basically called fox fairies, fox elders, and fox great-grandmothers. The title of "king" is special. In ancient times, there was a legend that Qin Shihuang named the tiger the king of beasts, and there was also a legend that Liu Xiu named the tiger the beast king.
It can be seen that most beast king titles are obtained by "conferring". Not only emperors can confer the title of beast king, but gods can also. Seeing the little fox Wei Xun trembling, it is suspected that Yi Ling's brother is going to control its body from a distance again. An Xuefeng asked Wang Pengpai to hold the little fox tightly to prevent it from running around after being controlled, and at the same time thought of Yi Ling's brother leading a team to explore the Tibetan sacred mountain.
Tibet... Some memories flashed through An Xuefeng's mind. He remembered that when he was in Tibet, he had heard some stories from the local elders. One of the stories was called "The Blue Fox Becomes the King". In fact, similar folk tales and legends can be found everywhere. Most of them are about foxes falling into a dye vat and being dyed into different colors. When the animals in the forest see it, they don’t recognize it and are surprised and awed. They don’t know it is a fox and are careful and respectful.
The fox takes the opportunity to show off its power. In the end, either a rain washes off the color or the fox calls and is heard by the animals. In the end, the deceived tigers, lions, and elephants will be furious and kill the fox. It is probably to warn people to learn lessons and not be like foxes. These stories are similar, and at most the stories vary slightly due to different local cultures.
There is a part in the story of the blue fox told by the Tibetan old man that makes An Xuefeng remember it clearly. It says that after the fox is dyed blue, it looks like a sapphire shining in the sun. When other animals see it, they are surprised and ask its name. The fox said, "My name is Jiazhuo."
Jiazhuo means "will become Emperor Shi". When Emperor Shi heard it, he felt that this name was predestined with him, so he named the blue fox the king of beasts.
They don’t have an emperor who can make the Beast King, but the gods have seen two of them. The Salt God and Thunder God were both defeated by them, so they can be used again. Now, letting the ‘God’ make him the Beast King is the fastest and most stable, and the most within their power. It’s a pity that the red maggot disappeared after the wooden boat was smashed by the sun bird, and the butterfly wings that were drained of Thunder God’s power also disappeared. It must have escaped.
But they still have the beads left by the Salt God after his death.
The big red fox’s pointed snout rubbed his shoulder blade. Although his clothes and luggage disappeared after he turned into a fox, several special items that An Xuefeng carried with him were still there. Under the thick fox fur on his left shoulder was a salt bead as small as a grain of rice and a gray and dull token. There was a dark orange pattern on the skin under the fox fur on his right shoulder.
At first glance, it looked like a scar, but in fact, An Xuefeng knew that it was his scimitar, but it couldn’t be used in the current fox state.
The salt bead was still there, even if it was a token of God. Li Jun can become a so-called believer of the Salt God with the vague power of the God in the eye of the Salt God. He can also pretend to be a Salt God with this Salt bead. As long as there is a Tima to "communicate" with the God and convey the God's intention. He will soon be able to obtain the title of "Fox King" canonized by the Salt God.
The Salt God is dead, so you can convey it as you want!
It's a pity...
Looking at the little red fox that was firmly squeezed into the crevice by the gas tank fat fox and stopped struggling, noticing the faint blue-purple light flashing in its eyes when it looked up and the indifferent and cold eyes that were completely different from before, An Xuefeng had a headache and was a little alert.
It's really unlucky. Wei Xun happened at this time, and Yi Ling was not with them. If it is true that according to Yi Ling, it was his brother's will that overwhelmed Wei Xun, would it hurt Wei Xun? Why choose this time? Did he sense Wei Xun's current weak state? How long will it last? Will this control end automatically at a certain point or must the big brother withdraw himself to end it?
After all, in the scene replay, Wei Xun's current state is not able to stir up trouble and is still easy to control.
An Xuefeng comforted himself and thought, cheering up and trying to be polite to the little red fox.
"嘤嘤."
After all, this is Ling's elder brother. Although he is a very dangerous person according to Ling's description, he also made no secret of his importance to his brother. If possible, An Xuefeng would still like to be more friendly.
...It's just that letting the fat fox hold the little fox is not friendly in any way. There is no way, this is Wei Xun's body after all, and it is so weak now. If it weren't for the other party's identity and occupying Wei Xun's body, An Xuefeng would not have the current attitude.
"嘤嘤嘤."
So the big fox softened his voice and tried to express a pleasant tone. The little fox looked at him there with an expressionless face, and when An Xuefeng stopped talking, he suddenly snorted.
Very unfriendly.
"嘤嘤嘤."
An Xuefeng pretended not to hear and called the little fox in a low voice. It was probably just some polite greetings. Putting aside the identity of Brother Yi Ling, the fact that someone could control Wei Xun's body like a puppet made An Xuefeng full of hostility, but he concealed it very well and didn't show it. Lu Shucheng and Wang Pengpai couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and whimpered in their throats like threats.
It seems that the longer you become a fox, the more beastly you will be.
An Xuefeng was very skilled in the confrontation between animality and rationality. While he was thinking about how to help Wang Pengpai and the others find a rational anchor, he grinned and glared at them. His gaze was still very intimidating. Wang Pengpai and Lu Shucheng stopped talking. One of them held down the little red fox tightly, and the other stood guard beside him with a fierce look. With An Xuefeng's big fox head, the three foxes squeezed the narrow stone crevice tightly, making it impossible for the little red fox to observe the surroundings.
But just from the shrill screams of the corpse flying fox outside and the pollution that shook like waves, Ximingren knew that they had definitely entered Wuluo Mountain.
And it should not be a mountain that entered from the outside to the inside step by step. This is at least the inner circle of Wuluo Mountain.
Why is the progress so fast? Did Yi Ling leave some tricks in the mountain in the past, or did the mountain god bring Miao Fangfei and the others directly into the mountain? Even the corpse flying fox had to hide. After turning into a fox, I am afraid that even the power was sealed, and the memory was not restored at all. Otherwise, why would he greet him in such an attitude?
Hearing An Xuefeng's fox call was like mental pollution, which made him sick.
He was disgusted by the two looks, and Xi Mingren closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power circulating in the puppet. In Gannan, he had just led the team over the mountains and arrived at Nian Baoyuzhe, and was about to find the big demon who was defeated and sealed by metaphysics and transformed into a black yak. But suddenly, he faintly sensed that the energy radiated from the sun in the depths of his eyes was increasing.
He is the sun god, and he is most sensitive to the changes of the sun, especially now that the "sun" is his younger brother. Xi Mingren immediately understood that Yi Ling had a high probability of having a new identity of the sun, and the strength of the puppet forged with the sun crystal as the sun bird state and the sun crystal would increase greatly. This is a good opportunity - the puppet is updated and replaced, which is bound to cause some mismatch with the soul spirit inside. After a period of running-in, there will be no big problem, but for Ximingren, he can take advantage of this opportunity to leave an indelible mark on the puppet. Even if An Xuefeng and others recover their memories in the future, it will be impossible to erase it.
But this kind of delicate operation must always be in a stable environment. After pulling the passengers of Xuanxue Fengdu to the Nianbao Yuze rest area, Ximingren released the passengers to let them explore freely and left directly. In fact, the energy from the sun's radiation suddenly weakened. It took only a few dozen minutes from sensing the change over there to his departure. However, Ximingren carefully sensed it again, but he only felt that the sun's power was extremely weak as if it was suppressed, and it was difficult to detect and capture!
Is the sun being assimilated, so the power is temporarily restrained and weakened?
Is it directly targeted by the mountain god of Wuluo Mountain or the chieftain king, and the newly assimilated sun suffered a heavy blow?
But when Xi Ming Ren took control of the puppet again, felt the puppet's current state, and saw An Xuefeng and the others' current fox-like appearance, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
Could it be... the moon?
Yi Ling was transforming the sun into the moon, or had he found an opportunity to control the sun and the moon together?
Most of the folk legends about foxes and other mountain spirits and wild monsters are related to the moon, and the puppets built with the sun crystal as the core are now even more restrained in power, almost making Xi Ming Ren, the sun god, unable to sense the residual heat of the sun.
It should be the moon. Yi Ling has the authority of the moon, and it also affects the puppet. The sun and moon of Iceland are originally from Mars, and the sun and moon of the Tujia people were originally from the sun. From the same origin to the transformation, it is a good opportunity. There are three-legged golden crows in the current hotel, but no one has occupied the identity of the moon. When Yi Ling completely masters the transformation of the sun and the moon, Zhou Xiyang's so-called sunset Yu Yuan may not pose much threat to him.
Many thoughts flashed through Xi Ming Ren's mind, and he left a lot of marks in the puppet without mercy, and then gathered his spirit and disconnected. When Yi Ling completely transforms, the sun fragments in his puppet core will also transform. The sun and the moon are two poles of the same origin but completely opposite. He is the sun god, but not the moon god. The remaining spiritual power in the past will probably be completely eliminated.
But the engraved mark will not.

"Hmm?"
An Xuefeng, who was always paying close attention to Wei Xun's situation, noticed that the little red fox trembled and completely softened. When he opened his eyes again, he had restored his original expression. Except for looking a little tired, there seemed to be no other problems.
But An Xuefeng was keenly aware that something was wrong. There was something wrong with the power aura on Wei Xun's body. It seemed that something had changed. It was hidden very deeply and difficult to dig out thoroughly, which made An Xuefeng feel a sense of urgent crisis in his heart.
There was no time to delay. He only let Wei Xun, who was tired and overdrawn, rest for a quarter of an hour. While the Black Mountain turned back into the Green Mountain, An Xuefeng quickly caught some birds and squirrels, and got some berries and wild flowers as tributes. Lu Shucheng and Wang Pengpai helped dig the soil and piled up a small and flat earthen platform in the shortest time. Then he asked Yi Ling to hold a simplified sacrifice as Tima and grant him the status of the beast king on the grounds of the word of God.
He killed the Salt God, which in itself obtained the full recognition of the God - recognizing that he was a human, a tiger, and a fox beast king, which were essentially the same. The dead God would not raise any opinions, so there would be no problem. When Wei Xun sang the divine song and barely held the simplest sacrifice, when the God recognized him as the king of beasts, An Xuefeng suddenly felt that the power that was originally sealed in his body loosened.
He still couldn't turn into a human or a white tiger, but his fighting power was no longer that of an ordinary fox, and he had some of the hard power when he turned into a white tiger in the past. These forces are far from enough to fight against the mountain god or the chieftain king, but it is much easier to deal with another "fox king".
That’s right, An Xuefeng, the incarnation of the fox queen, is more in line with the reenactment and has obtained more information—the fox king who was originally going to marry the white fox fairy in this scene reenactment is still there, and An Xuefeng is equivalent to the foreign fox king.
And there is only one fox king. Before choosing a new queen tonight, these two fox kings must have a life-and-death battle!
This is a grand event for the fox clan. All foxes will come to watch the battle to welcome the old king or the new king. Even the white fox fairy clan on the moon will stop for the fox king and watch this fight!
White fox fairy, a clan.
Plural white fox fairies!
That’s Yi Ling and the others! Finally getting the exact news, An Xuefeng’s heart finally relaxed, his tight heartstrings loosened, and his stomach started to growl.
Gurgle... Gurgle...
All the red foxes present were starving, and their eyes were red when they stared at the berries and flesh used as sacrifices. But under the intimidation of Team An, everyone suppressed their appetite. Lu Shucheng was particularly affected by this kind of pollution, but after being beaten by the big fox, he became completely obedient. This is how the relationship between wild animals is.
Fighting with Lu Shucheng was just a warm-up. It gets dark early in winter. This is in the mountains, and there is pollution related to darkness, so it gets dark even faster.
When it was just getting dark, An Xuefeng suddenly looked into the depths of the dense forest vigilantly.
"Hu——"
A long breathing sound came from the depths of the dense forest, hoarse and thick, like some giant breathing, creepy, and the darkness was stirred like fog, layer by layer, revealing the reflection of the green eyes of the beasts like fireflies in the dark.
This is the breathing of the fox king, the fox king has arrived with its clans!
"Hu."
The big fox also exhaled, shook its fur and stood up, his eyes burning. Wang Pengpai and Lu Shucheng guarded it on the left and right, and behind them were three fox cubs, who were also very imposing.
In terms of fighting, they have never lost to anyone!
