Ning Shezhen also saw the situation in the room, he was shocked and curious, his mind was full of thoughts, he sat back in the room and thought for a long time.
Just as he was thinking, the four fox girls suddenly pushed open the door. Ning Shezhen looked at the four girls and asked,""Four ladies, what's the matter?"
The four women looked at him, their eyes red. They wanted to say something but stopped. Suddenly, they ran away together. Ning Shezhen was surprised when four strangers came in with ropes in their hands. Ning Shezhen instantly understood that the Fox Sacrifice had begun.
Ning Shezhen allowed the four women to tie him up, but asked,""Ladies, I will go to the Fox Sacrifice now. I wonder if Lady Azurefox will be exempted?”
"I don't know. The Cave Master wants to go to Resentful Fox Valley with Miss Qing Hu."”
Ning Shezhen couldn't help but jump up and shout,""No, Lady Azurefox can't go to the Fox Sacrifice. It's all my fault!”
The four women held Ning Shezhen and said,""All of this depends on Cave Master's decision, it's not something we can decide.”As he spoke, he escorted Ning Shezhen out.
The four women who were guarding Ning Shezhen earlier actually had feelings for Ning Shezhen now. Even though they were usually at loggerheads, Ning Shezhen had previously helped them fend off the woodcutter, and they usually addressed him as elder sister. Seeing that he was about to go for the Fox Sacrifice and would definitely not return, they all felt lost.
One of the fox girls was the most sensitive and could not help but shed tears. She was afraid that the white fox would hear her, so she held it back.
Seeing Ning Shezhen come out, she held back her tears and wanted to speak, but she choked and couldn't say anything.
Ning Shezhen's heart was also moved, and he immediately suppressed his sadness and said,"Ladies, I'll go now. Thank you for taking care of me these days. Goodbye.”
The four vixens were reluctant to part, but there was nothing they could do. "Young Master Ning, take care of yourself." A fox girl finally said.”However, she soon realized that she had said the wrong thing and turned around to cry non-stop. Ning Shezhen was pushed forward by the woman behind him.
Soon, they arrived at the cliff above the Resentful Fox Valley. It was the cliff that dozens of foxes had jumped off that night. There were already many people waiting around. Altars were set up and spirit banners were placed. It really looked like they were about to perform a ritual.
A moment later, a group of women slowly walked out of the forest. It was Azurefox, and she was also being escorted over.
"Lady Azurefox, how did this happen?" Ning Shezhen hurriedly cried out. Why won't they let you go? You are innocent."
Azurefox's eyes were filled with sorrow." Noble Son Ning, Master didn't ask me to sacrifice myself, but I can't watch you jump down." I've implicated you."
Ning Shezhen hurriedly said,"Don't be silly, I did this willingly." Lady Azurefox, you must let it go. I don't regret it at all. If you can be safe, I won't hesitate to sacrifice you to my fox.”
Azurefox shook her head in pain.
Spirit music suddenly sounded. There was the sound of a suona horn, and the sound of a large drum and copper gong shook the sky. A group of martial artists, accompanied by a white fox, slowly walked forward.
Everyone looked at Ning Shezhen curiously, wondering what kind of show was going to happen in White Fox Cave.
The white fox arranged the people and walked forward solemnly. She chatted with the purple fox in private for a while and then slowly walked to the altar. With her back to the crowd, she faced the Resentful Fox Valley and burned incense to worship the sky three times. She closed her eyes for a moment and turned around to sprinkle a large bowl of blood in front of Ning Shezhen. Then, she said in a deep voice,""Push the offerings into the valley."
Azurefox still had a glimmer of hope in her heart as she desperately pleaded,"Master, he's innocent. Let me do it!”Azurefox struggled forward to pull Ning Shezhen back.
"Azurefox, this is Master's order," said the white fox coldly. He is a sacrifice and has offended the Spirit Fox Valley. I have to make him forgive me.”
"Master, no…" Azurefox said in pain.”
"Cave Master, since I've been holding back until now, I'll naturally jump down." Ning Shezhen suddenly asked. However, if you can survive this jump, you will no longer have the right to make things difficult for me and Lady Azurefox!”
The white fox said coldly," On this cliff, there are no vines to borrow strength from, nor are there any trees that lean out for you to borrow strength from. Even a fox will die if it jumps down. If you really survive, I will naturally not make things difficult for you."”
Ning Shezhen nodded.
"Young Noble Ning, you can't jump! You can't jump!" Azurefox cried out. If you jump down, you will definitely die!"
Ning Shezhen looked down the cliff and said,""Lady Azurefox, don't worry. I won't die so easily. I've already lived for eighteen years. I've long regarded life as extremely precious. I want to work hard to live on.”
Azurefox looked at Ning Shezhen doubtfully. He really didn't know what he could rely on.
Ning Shezhen turned around and closed his eyes. He didn't want to die. Even when he was whipped by Li Mingkai and ridiculed by Li Yue, he had never wavered in his determination to live. Even when he was pulled into the sky by the giant eagle, he had never given up. Even when he was caught by the white fox, he still tried his best to escape and live. He wanted to live!
Life was given to him by his parents. He had to cherish it and live well. His life was not complete yet!
However, could he really survive by jumping off the cliff? He didn't know that the cliff wasn't high, but it wasn't a problem for someone to fall to their death.
Just as the white fox had said, there was nothing on the cliff that could be used as leverage. There were only some weak grass and bare rocks. There was a thin layer of grass below, and in the grass were the bones of the dead fox!
Ning Shezhen shivered. Could he really be lucky enough to not die? That was only to comfort Azurefox.
However, Ning Shezhen still had a glimmer of hope.
How could he minimize the damage to his body? His head must not land first, but his feet? At most, he would only be crippled. At least he would still be alive. As long as his brain was still there, he could still think of something. If he fell straight down, would his leg bone go all the way to his shoulder? Thinking of this, Ning Shezhen was a little afraid. He should lean his body sideways and let his legs land on the ground first, then his buttocks. With his legs on the ground, perhaps he would have a one percent chance of survival.
Ning Shezhen made up his mind and opened his eyes.
The white fox said coldly,"Push him down."”
The group of martial artists behind him laughed as they watched the scene before them. Which one of them had never killed someone before? An unknown person like Ning Shezhen was not even worth mentioning in their eyes. They only felt that it was a novelty. Sacrificing a human to a fox? Interesting.
However, life was Ning Shezhen's, and only Ning Shezhen cherished it.
The two fox girls pushed Ning Shezhen to the edge of the cliff and untied him, not afraid that he would escape.
Azurefox shouted at the top of her lungs,"No! Don't push him down! Young Master Ning, I'm the one who harmed you!"”
She struggled and struggled, wanting to hold Ning Shezhen's hand.
Ning Shezhen turned around and gave her a comforting smile. He felt two hands pushing him hard, and he immediately flew out. How do you control your legs to land first? Ning Shezhen, who was in mid-air, tried his best to straighten his posture.
"No!" Azurefox screamed and jumped off the cliff!
The White Fox could not help but gasp. The women of White Fox Cave could not help but go forward to take a look. The group of martial artists were also surprised.?Why did Azurefox risk her life to chase Ning Shezhen down the cliff?
Because Azurefox had been running before she fell, she fell extremely quickly. When Ning Shezhen heard the scream and turned around, he saw Azurefox beside him. He was shocked and grabbed Azurefox, and the two of them fell together!
Azurefox smiled at Ning Shezhen without any regret. At this moment, a strange warm current flowed around the two of them.
All of a sudden, a black shadow swooped down like a falling star!
Someone exclaimed,"What a big eagle!"”
The giant eagle stretched out its legs, and Ning Shezhen and the other two felt their vision turn black. Then, they felt a sharp claw grab their shoulders, causing them to feel pain. The two of them were only a foot away from the ground, but the condor brought the two of them back into the sky!
The people on the ground were dumbfounded and exclaimed.
Ning Shezhen never thought that he would be brought into the air by the big eagle again. At this moment, he was not frightened at all. Looking at the tiny mountains and rivers on the ground, he felt a sense of shock as if he had survived the death. It was good to be alive.
Ning Shezhen turned to look at Azurefox, but her eyes were tightly shut.
"Lady Qing Hu, Lady Qing Hu," Ning Shezhen called out.”
Azurefox's eyes were still closed, and her face was filled with fear. Her lips were purple, and she was unable to speak.
Ning Shezhen knew that she was afraid and said,""Lady Azurefox, don't be afraid. We're fine now. When we first met, I was brought here from the northeast by this big eagle. Nothing happened along the way. Lady Azurefox, we are safe."
Azurefox's eyes remained closed as she panted."Will you really not fall?"
"Yes, as long as we hold on tightly to the bird's legs, we won't fall down."”
Azurefox felt slightly relieved.
After a while, Azurefox suddenly asked,"Why did this eagle capture us? Is it trying to save us?”
"I don't know either," said Ning Shezhen. However, I don't think it has any ill intentions. Just bear with it for a while.”
The two of them comforted each other and were not very afraid.
After flying for an hour, the condor finally slowed down and descended to the ground. It was looking for a flat place to put the two of them down. The ground was filled with rocks and a small lake. In front of it, there seemed to be a place full of unknown flowers.
The condor seemed to have made up its mind to descend there.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry. Ning Shezhen couldn't help but look over and then exclaimed,""Lady Azurefox, it's a crane!"
Azurefox had been comforted by Ning Shezhen, who had been holding her other hand tightly. She was no longer afraid and looked over.
As expected, a huge, tall, and graceful red-crowned crane with distinct black and white was flying over from not far away.
