Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 773: Fate of the Fox

Zhang Chengzu has no memory of King Mara, and because Xinjue is afraid of King Mara, he only picks out good things to say to him, and his words are not objective.

From Hou Laodao, Zhang Chengzu learned about King Mara's past, and that his ancestor General Zhang had killed King Mara. He also learned that in order to resolve King Mara's curse, Xinjue, Hou Laodao, and General Zhang had guarded his soul for generations, causing him to reincarnate repeatedly, but each time he achieved nothing and died in depression. Until this reincarnation into the Zhang family, he had gradually seen the way forward and had the opportunity to make further progress.

"An opportunity to make further progress?" He repeated, staring at Hou Laodao, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It means that I failed at the last moment. It means that I have saved him with the method of rectifying my mind in every life. I can see the changes in this life. Even if I cannot fulfill my long-cherished wish in this life, I can find a new way and be completely liberated in the next life."

Xinjue's eyes and hands were a little dazed, and he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Taoist Hou asked, "Why did he reincarnate in the Zhang family in this life? He has a deep foundation in cultivation in this life. He is born with the seeds of cultivation, and he also has a pair of spiritual eyes. Do you know all this? Have you ever thought about why?"

"How long has it been since you had a good chat with us about these things? In the past hundred years, you have only been in and out in a hurry, and disappeared after helping King Mara to reincarnate. Xinjue, your Zen mind has long been broken, and your faith has long been shaken!"

Xinjue felt cold all over, and when he looked at Zhang Chengzu again, his eyes and hands no longer showed any emotion.

"Zhang Chengzu, if you are unwilling to return to the right path, kill me, follow Xinjue to practice, and awaken the power of the Golden True Nature King. After you recover from your injuries, you will become one and indistinguishable from each other. You can become a fourth-grade master in one fell swoop, saving yourself countless hard work."

"If you want to get rid of the hatred from four hundred years ago and cultivate your roots, you should practice with me, suppress the power of the Golden True Nature Ming Wang, and be your Zhang Chengzu. But this is difficult, more difficult than expected. For four hundred years, your roots in cultivation have always been poor. You would have achieved something in this life, but there is a demon sleeping in your body. This will probably be more difficult than any time in the past four hundred years."

If Zhang Chengzu had the memory of King Mara, if he could recall the four hundred years of fruitless hard practice, he might be shaken at this time. But he did not have these memories. What he remembered most clearly now was that he had illegally robbed the fox book from the fox, and when he was practicing Taoism, he entered the Jinpo Palace and was instructed by the immortals that he could practice under Taishan after getting the fox book back.

Now two people came out and said that he was the reincarnation of Mara King, and that a murderous, evil and terrifying Ming Wang was sleeping inside him. They asked him whether he wanted to follow the headless demon to practice and become Ming Wang, or follow the old Taoist priest who was wearing shackles and looked like he had escaped from prison to practice and enter the right path. The key point was that what they said was true, which made Zhang Chengzu have no choice at all.

Zhang Chengzu stammered for a moment, still unable to forget the immortal god of the Jinpo Palace, so he expressed his thoughts: "I have already promised the immortal god in the moon that I will take back the fox book and become a disciple of Taishan. I cannot practice with you."

Xinjue was stunned, and Hou Laodao was also stunned.

"fox……"

"Why a fox?"

Taoist Hou thought of all the events that had happened in recent days. Because of the change in the fox book, Zhang Chengzu entered the Taoism with fox magic. Although they realized it later and made peace with the fox fairy, they were obviously one step too slow. Before the fox fairy took back Zhang Chengzu's magic power, he had already turned into the Golden True Nature King.

Xinjue even said, "But the Lord just fought a battle with a fox demon, and has a life-and-death feud with the fox fairy."

"Ah?" Now it was Zhang Chengzu's turn to be stunned.

When Taoist Hou heard this, he looked at Zhang Chengzu again and suddenly something happened in his mind.

He bit his finger and barely drew a talisman on the shackles. He then used the talisman to calculate Zhang Chengzu's face and his destined fate.

He originally thought that the fox fate would block his path to righteousness, but he did not expect that the fox star would shine brightly and bring good luck.

“Hahahaha, good.” Taoist Hou looked disheveled, but he gathered his spirits. He looked at Zhang Chengzu with burning eyes and said, “You want to take Fox Book as your master and become Taishan’s disciple, but the Golden True Nature Mingwang in your body wants to kill the Fox Fairy. This couldn’t be more clever.”

"We have been running this training bureau for four hundred years. The hatred of life and death and the grace of extradition are entangled between you and me. It is better to fulfill this fox fate." Hou Laodao looked calm and determined. "I will only teach you to practice and pass on the method of rectifying your mind. I will not accept you as my apprentice. If you want to worship under Taishan, wait until you have achieved success in practice in the future, and then go to worship Taishan."

Xin Jue looked at Taoist Hou and didn't know what to say for a moment. With Taoist Hou's level of cultivation, he could only take out Zhang Chengzu as his disciple at most. Now he was teaching cultivation without accepting any disciples. Not only would he pass on his master's magical powers to others, but he would also cut off his master's inheritance.

Are you willing to do this?

The gaze of Taoist Hou met that of Xinjue Mushou, but Mushou's gaze shifted away involuntarily, unable to meet the sharpness in Hou's eyes.

Taoist Hou was willing to give it up. Not only was he willing to give it up, he was also very calm about it.

Zhang Chengzu looked at Hou Laodao in surprise. Hou Laodao smiled kindly and said, "Child, let's find a populated place to rest up first. When you have sorted out your mind and body and can calm down, I will pass on all my cultivation to you."

Zhang Chengzu was speechless.

Xinjue didn't know why, so he didn't stop them. He just followed Hou Laodao and Zhang Chengzu, like a shadow illuminated by the moon.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Zhang Chengzu couldn't sleep. Everyone in Chengyang Village was immersed in the thunder. No one was willing to press down the fox's overly fluffy fur, so naturally no one could sleep.

The monks in Mirror Pagoda Temple escaped death, but the Nine Mirrors Pagoda was completely destroyed. The Buddha statues in the pagoda were burned by the evil fire and their faces and expressions could not be identified. Naturally, no one could sleep there.

In the Xia Pi City God Temple, the temple keeper is in a coma. The Xia Pi City God and all the ghosts are imprisoned in the ghost prison. Although the monsters guarding the prison have disappeared, no one has released them from the outside, so they still cannot get out.

The City God lost his seal and his magic power was sealed by shackles. Taoist Hou was taken away by Xinjue and never returned. He was filled with anxiety.

He kept his eyes open and waited until dawn. Finally, Zhang Chenghuang heard footsteps and voices outside the prison.

"My lord, I will lead the way."

The door of the prison was opened, revealing the light from outside and casting a slender figure inside.

Five strong servants wearing five-colored scarves entered one after another, and after examining the dark prison, they found that there was no threat, and then they invited him, "My lord, there is no one guarding it."

Then a slender figure stepped out from the light and, led by a strong servant, walked all the way to the prison door where Zhang Chenghuang was imprisoned.

Zhang Chenghuang looked up and saw an immortal in red clothes and a jade crown, playing with a divine seal in his hand. He smiled and said, "City God, you have suffered."
