At this moment, I felt a chill behind me, and I immediately plunged forward again, diving into the snowy ground. Struggling to turn over, I found that the two night foxes had caught up with me.

  I thought to myself, "It's all over. That idiot must have run away with cold feet! How can he do this to me? Isn't this going to cost me my life?"

  I lay in the snow, the icy snow stimulating me to shiver, and the pain on my back and right hand came again, leaving me without the strength to get up. I bitterly smiled to myself: Is it that this time I really died young?

  The roof leaks and encounters continuous rain at night. When I was panting on the snowy ground, a severe pain came again from my back. It seemed that I heard my spine making a "cracking" sound, which almost made me faint.

  That night a fox trod on my back with one foot. I was really puzzled, why were they originally formless, but could tread on my back?

  My mouth involuntarily let out a miserable scream of "ahhh", as if my internal organs were going to be trampled out. This was probably the most intense pain I had ever experienced in my life. When people say that your brain goes blank when you're in pain, that's just nonsense. The beast's foot was still on my back, and my mind was filled with curses for its ancestors eight generations back.

  That mother fox walked in front of me, squatted down, and lifted my chin with her left hand. Although my face had long been numb from the cold, I could still feel the chill emanating from her hand, piercing to the bone.

  He said in a tone colder than ice and snow: "Mr. Yin Yang, you lost, go ahead and atone for my child first."

  She raised her right hand and slowly approached my eyes, I could vaguely see her sharp fingernails flashing with a faint blue light in the darkness.

  My right hand can't move now, and my body is still being trampled to the ground. I smiled bitterly, it seems that I really can only go this far.

  I closed my eyes and waited for the arrival of that moment of death.

  Just when I had given up all hope, a loud shout suddenly came from above the forest: "Wu Xu Ren Chen Jian Zhong Qiu, Gui Wei Ding Chou Yi Tong Xiong!! Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Jie Lin Zhen Qian Hang!! Kai Kai Kai!!!"

  That's Yi Xin Xing's voice!!!!!

  I hastily opened my eyes, only to see that the small blue lamp placed under the tree suddenly emitted a strong light, and around it, eight trees appeared with some steel-like objects wrapped around them, forming a circle. At this moment, I and the two night foxes were inside the circle.

  I'm not clear what formation this is, but from the words he shouted out, I heard that it's the famous 'Qimen Jiu Ziyue'!

  The so-called Qimen Jue, originated from Baopuzi's "Dengshu". Baopuzi said: When entering the mountain, it is advisable to know the secret blessing of Liu Jia. The blessing says: "Those who fight with weapons, all line up and advance in front." As long as you recite these nine characters for a long time, there will be nothing that can't be avoided.

  This sentence I think everyone should be very familiar with, because a long, long time ago, Japan came into contact with **** civilization, and those Japanese thieves stole many precious technological secrets from me, after returning to their country, they trained samurai with these secrets, and shamelessly called those who had only learned some superficial qigong techniques "x".

  But little do they know that the glow of fireflies cannot compete with the radiance of the sun and moon. How can the fake, superficial methods of plagiarism compare to the authentic, extraordinary skills of the genuine article? Moreover, it's laughable that they even got the basic incantation wrong, which is now familiar to many people as the nine-character mantra: "Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Zai Qian".

  The book returned to its rightful owner, and I heard the 'Qimen Nine Character Formula' and suddenly my hope for survival was rekindled. I cursed silently: Yi Xingxing, you bastard, why did you make your move so late? You almost got me killed.

  All I saw was the rope around us suddenly appearing, and those two night foxes suddenly covered their heads in pain and let out a mournful howl. The pitiful sound shook my eardrums, and the male night fox's foot on my back lifted off. I immediately felt much lighter, although it still hurt so much.

  I only heard a thud, and it seemed like something had fallen from the tree not far away. I looked up and saw that it was Yixing Xing. I thought to myself, "You're too sneaky", having the ability to hide in plain sight but instead choosing to climb a tree.

  He jumped onto the snowy ground, and under the faint light of the small blue lamp beside him, I saw his expression was stern, his left hand clenched into a fist and held up to his chest, while his right hand formed a sword shape and pointed at an eerie angle behind his left hand. Seeing that I had already escaped danger, he anxiously shouted at me: "Brother!! Can you still move?! If you can, hurry up and get out! It's dangerous!!"

  Nonsense, of course I knew it was dangerous, but you said it would be easy. Now I'm all battered and bruised. My right hand is out of commission for the time being, and my back is almost crippled. I tried twisting my waist slightly, fortunately it didn't break, so I used my left hand to support myself and gritted my teeth as I struggled to get up. But after taking only two steps, the pain was too much and I collapsed to the ground again. This injury is just too severe.

  Looking ahead, Yi Xin Xing was also struggling, his whole body trembling as he maintained the pose. It seemed that activating this formation wasn't easy, and sustaining it was even more difficult. He gritted his teeth and shouted at me: "Hurry up, I won't be able to hold on for much longer!! Get out!! Fast!!"

  The two night foxes beside me were still kneeling on the ground, covering their heads with their hands and crying out in pain. I gritted my teeth and thought to myself: "You think you can just crawl out of here? Why don't you come and try crawling for a bit?"

  But I also know that I must climb out of this small circle, otherwise, when Yi Xingxing can't support me anymore, I will definitely go bankrupt.

  So I gritted my teeth and crawled forward on the ground like a worm, inch by inch. When faced with life and death, one wouldn't care about what others think of their appearance anymore, although thinking back now, the pose I was in while crawling on the ground at that time wasn't very good-looking.

  Just as I was about to crawl out of the circle, I was discovered by the mother night fox who was in agony and screaming. It also struggled to crawl towards me. It seems that it really didn't want to let me go so easily.

  I didn't dare look back at its venomous gaze, my heart full of longing to crawl out quickly, this was truly a deadly snail racing.

  But after all, our physical structures are different, it's obviously crawling faster than me, seeing that my upper body has already crawled out of the circle, it grabbed my left foot in an instant. Holding on for dear life.

  Honestly, I almost cried out loud, this is too torturous, why do I always encounter such unexpected things at the last minute? But I couldn't care less anymore, my desire to survive fully stimulated my potential, and I used all my might to crawl outward.

  It's possible that the Qimen formation weakened its strength, or it's also possible that I unleashed a burst of potential and managed to crawl out. Its hand was still tightly grasping my left foot and was pulled out of the circle as well. The five fingernails pierced through my pants, showing no intention of loosening up.

  Yi Xin Xing saw that I had already crawled out of the circle, and suddenly he was overjoyed. He shouted: "Imprisoned by ghosts, don't be reckless! All eight doors, transform into fierce gods!! Open open open!!!"

  Only to see that the mother fox let out another mournful cry, and within the circle, its hand seemed to be cut off by something with a swift and clean motion. The severed hand quickly dissipated into nothingness. I turned my head towards the circle with great difficulty, only to see that the two night foxes were no longer holding their heads in pain as before, but had regained mobility, yet they let out even more mournful cries, somewhat like roasted sweet potatoes, with green smoke rising from all over their bodies.

  They wanted to break out of the circle, but when they ran to the boundary of the circle, it was as if they were blocked by an invisible wall and could only scratch in mid-air with a painful and unwilling expression. The mournful cries were endless.

  I let out a sigh of relief and crawled to Yi Xin Xing's side. Although it was cold, he was sweating profusely and panting heavily. However, compared to his expression earlier, he looked much more relaxed now.

  It must be that this formation wasn't fully activated just now, I remember the "Sanqing Book" records that controlling a formation that hasn't been fully activated is extremely exhausting, unexpectedly this old fellow is quite particular about it, because if he had come up and fully activated the formation from the start, those two night foxes would have definitely fought to the death with me.

  I struggled to get up and leaned against the big tree beside him, my whole body feeling like it had come apart. I asked him: "Yi Ge, thanks to you, this array of yours is really formidable... what's it called?"

  He saw that he had successfully controlled the two monsters, and while continuing to urge the formation method, he said to me: "This is the 'Ghost Prison Gate' formation. It's the most powerful formation I can use when I'm the first to go."

  Here's an introduction to everyone, what is '囚鬼换凶门'. In the following days, I asked Yi Xinxing, and it turned out that Qimen technique includes the most array methods, and this '囚鬼换凶门' is one of the many Qimen techniques.

  Qimen formation is different from Fu Zhen, it needs to go through many complex procedures and calculations to set up the formation, according to the combination of Tian Gan Di Zhi to launch, the requirements for the formation are not low, of course, its power is not comparable to that of Fu Zhou. Just like this "Captive Ghost Exchange Gate".

  The so-called "Captive Ghost" is also known as "Prison", which is one of the lonely spirits. Calculating the position of the Captive Ghost for each hour is not something that ordinary people can do, it requires calculating through solar terms, heavenly stems, earthly branches, and environmental factors, which is extremely complicated. After calculating the position of the Captive Ghost during the array deployment, a simple eight-door shape must be drawn using yellow horsehair rope, and then the practitioner uses his energy to activate it, driving the Captive Ghost to trigger one of the eight doors, the most evil door, once opened, can summon the power of twenty evil spirits. When I listened to Yi Xin Xing explaining this to me, my head was spinning, this is too complicated, how can I believe that this usually silly-looking Yi Xin Xing's brain is so brilliant? Is this what we call a "genius idiot"?

  The book returned to its rightful owner, I leaned against a tree with exhaustion and asked him: "When will they be able to be beaten into dust?"

  Yi Xinxing's hands didn't stop, and I replied in my mouth: "It's almost done, it should be done in less than five minutes. By the way, are they the night foxes you mentioned? Are there only two of them? Is there any remaining evil spirit?"

  I gazed at the two night foxes struggling in the formation and sighed, saying: "There's another smaller one over there that I've already wounded. It won't last much longer."

  Yi Xinxing said fiercely: "That's just right, after killing these two monsters later, we'll directly capture that little monster and eradicate it completely."

  Just as I was about to say "That little demon won't live much longer, let him fend for himself", the two night foxes in 'Captive Ghosts Exchange Gates' heard Yi Xingxing's words and went crazy, scratching against the invisible wall with all their might while banging their heads against it. Especially the mother night fox, she was hoarse from screaming as she desperately tried to crash out of the formation. But every time they crashed, the green smoke emanating from their bodies grew more intense, clearly they had reached their limit. Yet, her eyes still welled up with tears as she continued to crash again and again.

  I'm stunned, what is this? Is it a survival instinct? Is it the last struggle of a monster?

  For some reason, my heart was suddenly filled with sorrow.

  That is motherhood.

  It is the maternal instinct of a mother who hears her child in danger and rushes to it without thinking.

  Looking at it, I actually cried, tears streaming down my already numb face. Although the monster and human are different, this maternal love is the most real. It was clearly a life, why did we, these yin-yang masters, have to cruelly kill this mother?

  Is it wrong for her to just want to protect her own child?

  We just want to protect our humanity, is there anything wrong with that?

  What is justice? Who can tell me? ? ?

  "Yi Ge!!!! That's enough!!!!! Stop it!!!!! It's already enough!!!!!"

  Yi Xinxing saw the appearance of that night fox, and her heart was also somewhat uneasy. After all, a mother who couldn't even save herself still wanted to rescue her own child, which would move anyone who saw it.

  Yi Xinxing, although seemingly lacking in common sense, actually had a good heart. He withdrew his gesture, sighed and said to me: "It's useless, they've already been bitten by the evil spirit's power and will soon be completely destroyed."

  Tears are still streaming down my face, and my chest feels like it's been stuffed with cotton balls. I watch as the two of them struggle to crawl out of that circle, trembling as they inch their way towards their children.

  Is this the outcome I wanted???? Is this justice????

  Why am I so conflicted at this moment, why such confusion.

  At this time, a cry like a madman came from afar. Looking up, I saw that the little night fox was running towards me. It saw its parents lying in the snow and suddenly froze.

  And at this moment, both of us felt like a criminal and stood there in a daze.

  Actually, when I wrote this chapter, my heart was also very uncomfortable. It's not that I intentionally made it melodramatic, but some topics just don't have answers, and some things can't be clearly divided into right or wrong. With tears in my eyes, I finished writing the last few lines, and couldn't help but feel that maternal love is truly a great thing. As for what happens next, I'll reveal it to everyone tomorrow. I believe I can come up with a reasonable answer. Here, I continue to ask for votes, thank you all for your support.
