Chapter 175: Unraveling the Mystery
"It's her." Li Daoxuan said, staring at the portrait closely.

"Have you seen her?" Gong Youwei asked curiously.

"Yes, a fox that turned into a vengeful ghost." Li Daoxuan said in a heavy voice, "I have seen her before when I went to Jinling last time. I didn't expect her to appear here."

"Did you have any relationship with her? Why did she say that?" Gong Youwei asked puzzledly.

"I don't quite understand why she said that. Back then at the Zhang family, she was killed by my magic weapon. I looked at it specially at that time, and she was indeed dead. I just never thought that she would appear here again and walk into the house openly." Li Daoxuan clenched his hands unconsciously and spoke with extreme caution.

It was impossible for him to forget the incident with the resentful fox. After all, that incident was a setback for him. It also made him realize that he could not act recklessly relying on his unique way of viewing illusions. Things in the world would always be beyond expectations.

"When you saw her, did you really not notice anything unusual about her?" Li Daoxuan wondered. Gong Youwei was a fairy, and her perception was far superior to that of ordinary people. Judging from the wet palm prints on the table, she was obviously not a human. Why didn't she notice anything unusual?

"Yes, really not." Gong Youwei moved her ears and replied after thinking for a while, "If she was dead, how could she appear here? I'm afraid she is not really dead."

"Yes, I am also very curious about why she appeared here. Now it seems that the fox cry that Yanming mentioned before may be related to this resentful fox." Li Daoxuan sighed and calmed his mind, and began to analyze, "This resentful fox was originally resentful because its heart was cut out. I thought it would return to dust after its revenge. I never thought it could still exist in the world and even appear here."

"Why was this resentful fox's heart cut out?" Gong Youwei asked curiously.

"This matter has to start with the Zhang family's affairs"

Li Daoxuan told Gong Youwei exactly what happened in the Zhang family. He said that the young master of the Zhang family actually believed in a folk remedy and dug out the heart of a fox in order to cure Grandma Zhang. What was even more coincidental was that the fox happened to be intelligent and the young master of the Zhang family met it.

Under such circumstances, the tragedy happened.

After talking about what happened in Zhang's family, Li Daoxuan was silent.

He is still brooding over this matter. What happened was too unscrupulous. In the end, not only did he fail to save Grandma Zhang, but he also caused her family to be completely destroyed.

Gong Youwei lay on the table, shaking her bunny head, with a bit of confusion in her big eyes: "I don't quite understand. I really don't understand."

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Li Daoxuan asked curiously.

"According to what you said, the yellow fox jumped onto the carriage of Mr. Zhang to avoid being caught by the evil guy. And how did Mr. Zhang happen to know the secret recipe of using fox heart to cure diseases? And who was the evil guy who suddenly caught the yellow fox in the temple? Why did he catch the yellow fox? And who gave Mr. Zhang the secret recipe? It was neither too early nor too late, and it was not a coincidence that the yellow fox just happened to get on the carriage of the Zhang family? You know, the yellow fox recites scriptures in the Da Baoen Temple every day, and the masters in the temple should know something about it. But why did he let this evil guy catch the yellow fox in the temple? Don't you think it's very strange?" Gong Youwei analyzed the Zhang family's affairs, unraveling the clues and narrating them bit by bit.

The more Li Daoxuan listened to Gong Youwei's analysis, the more he felt that what she said made sense.

Why is it such a coincidence?

Why was it this yellow fox that transformed into the evil ghost and resentful fox?

If the young master of the Zhang family went to the temple to pray for his mother, he would definitely know that killing is a taboo in Buddhism.

Since you had worshipped the Buddha, why did you immediately take out the yellow fox's heart as a medicine?

Li Daoxuan listened carefully and became more silent.

There are so many intricate connections involved, and with Gong Youwei's analysis, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a sense of conspiracy.

"What's more, the yellow fox was resentful, and it happened that a girl from a family was drowning. Have you ever thought about investigating this girl? Why did she drown? Why did she come to the place where the yellow fox's body was dumped and drown? Although I am just a rabbit and my brain is not very smart, I know that there must be something wrong with this matter."

Gong Youwei's words made Li Daoxuan feel like the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining, but the clouds seemed too thick. When he pushed them away a little, another layer of clouds immediately covered them. But no matter what, although Li Daoxuan felt that there were many doubts before, now he can understand it a little.

It was just as she said, the Zhang family's affairs were definitely not ordinary. It was rare for a yellow fox to have intelligence, after all, birds and beasts could become monsters if they had intelligence.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary birds and beasts to develop intelligence. Gong Youwei was born with intelligence only due to great luck.

This yellow fox can worship Buddha and recite scriptures, so it is not far from practicing and becoming a spirit.

If there really is someone behind all this, it would be quite difficult to find such a yellow fox.

Furthermore, this incident happened in the Da Baoen Temple, which is a large temple in Jinling. There must be many masters in charge of it. They would not have failed to notice the yellow fox that came day after day, and they would not have allowed the evil man to catch foxes in the temple.

In this case, there is indeed another mystery behind this matter.

This resentful fox appeared in Lijia Village, probably for some other purpose.

"So maybe this was man-made?" Li Daoxuan looked at Gong Youwei and said to himself. "The fox is a great fairy among the people, and we met a fox in a Buddhist temple. Ordinary people are all in awe of it, but this evil man dared to do evil things. If this was really man-made, this yellow fox might have been deliberately caught up with the carriage of the young master of the Zhang family."

"I'm afraid there's a conspiracy. I have to be careful." Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice, "The area around Jiangning Prefecture has probably become a place of trouble. I always feel that something big will happen here sooner or later."

Big things, big things. Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly stopped, and he seemed to suddenly think of something, his expression froze.

"Jinling is Nanjing. Could the major events in Nanjing be the major events that will happen decades later?" He had a complicated expression, and the scenes he had seen in his previous life kept flashing through his mind.

The countless dead souls and the inhumane disaster were all gathered in his memory like a movie, and he seemed to understand what this big event was.

"Could it be that the disaster that was destined for Jinling was caused by this reason? No. It is not certain yet." Li Daoxuan calmed himself down. He could not let his past memories interfere with him. "The huge woman encountered in the tomb, and the cause of death of Li Changde's two sons"

"Have you thought of anything terrible?" Gong Youwei asked with some concern when she saw Li Daoxuan's face turning pale and sweating profusely.

"Well, I thought of some things I don't want to recall." Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

His mind is in a mess now, and everything before his eyes is like a fog.

"Let's not think about the Zhang family's affairs for now, and start with some trivial matters in the village." Li Daoxuan now knew that his whereabouts must have been known by someone with ulterior motives. Li Tian and Li Yue, whom he met yesterday, should also be "living people". They might not have deserved to die, but died because of him.

"This is my karma." Li Daoxuan now understood a little.

When he helped Li Tian up that day, he was hit on the back by something, and the clay doll was shattered into pieces all over the ground.

Was it a warning from the clay doll? If he hadn't intervened, would the two have been drowned in the water?
Someone in the village warned him not to meddle in other people's business. After all, only one child had died in Lijia Village since the strange things started happening.

But just a few days after he came back, two young men died.

"Warn me?" Li Daoxuan thought of the yellow fox appearing in his home, and a trace of anger began to rise in his heart. "You want me to give up? Ha, dream on."

He looked at the sun outside the window and clenched his hands into fists.

"In that case, let's have a fight."
