fox repair

Seeing that Mo Chen had changed his mind, Feng Ling Beast couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and was glad that Ah Jiu persuaded Mo Chen.

It's not that she thinks that Mo Chen will be more confident in finding Guiling in the end, it's really a fluke in her heart, thinking that if Mo Chen can't find all the lotus petals in the end, she can also find a way to persuade him to ascend to the spiritual realm.After all, only by living can there be hope, and she is ready. If the fur fox is really stubborn, she will not hesitate to use Master Ningyuan's last words as a cover to trick him into ascending.

As for how the fox will react when he finds out that he has been deceived, Feng Ling Beast said that people have gone to the spirit realm, so what else can they do with her?

But if Mo Chen went to look for Gui Ling now, it would really be a disaster.

Naturally, Mo Chen didn't know what Feng Ling Beast was thinking, seeing the sudden change in the mad bird's attitude towards Ah Jiu, he was a little puzzled.

Ah Jiu was very sure that when he was in the restaurant, he saw the water in Mo Chen's eyes, the water was like tears, which moved his heart.However, Mo Chen's behavior returned to normal afterward, no different from before, except that he was worried that he would not be able to find the remaining snow lotus petals in time.This made Ah Jiu wonder if he had misread the scene in the tavern.

From the people in the city, we found out that the black wolf demon king is in a valley ten miles west of the city. Although there is a rough range, the valley stretches for hundreds of miles. Where is the cave where the black wolf demon king lives, and how many black wolf demons are there in the valley? So what about the black wolf monster's cultivation, Mo Chen is still not sure.For the sake of caution, he didn't intend to rush into the valley directly.

Standing in the middle of Fengyang city street, Mo Chen looked towards the direction of the city gate with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed slightly.

When the sun sets, the wolf demon will disturb, and if you catch one unlucky one, you will naturally know the information you want.

In order to prevent the black wolf demon from attacking the city, Fengyang City will be closed and locked every day.

After being locked, most of the wolf demons can be kept out of the city gate, but occasionally there will be fish that slip through the net, jump on the city wall to break through the defense line, and enter the city to eat the living.The people in the city were all panicked, kneeling down and praying that they could live through the night safely.It has been like this every night for nearly a hundred years.

Since Mo Chen had decided to sit on the sidelines, he was in no hurry to leave the city and sat down at a tea stall on the street.

"The Sansheng Stone of the Ning family must have returned to its original owner by now." Mo Chen muttered to himself while fiddling with the tea bowl.

Feng Ling Beast said: "Although General Xiao has a bad temper, he is righteous. The master gave him a life-and-death alliance to solve the problem of the Xiaoyao Valley tribe's fierce fighting and bravery. Return it to the Ning family."

Mo Chen nodded, but his eyes twitched slightly, and looked at Fengling Beast, "But for the Ning family, it's too cheap for them, don't you think?"

The phoenix feather beast turned its head silently.

too cheap for them?

Master, have you forgotten how you managed to get Qiankun into your hands?

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he could see what Feng Ling Beast was muttering in his heart, and said without any shame: "Although they gave me the universe, it is useless to me now, so I just give it back to them. In this way, wouldn't they take advantage of it?"

The phoenix feathered beast was silent, so what did the fur fox want to say?

Seeing the fox's radiance reappear in those peach blossom pupils that turned into human eyes, the Phoenix Feather Beast suddenly wanted to light a candle for Yunling Ning's family.

This fox is probably going to attack them again, the Ning family can wish for luck.

Mo Chen took out a piece of jade slip from the storage bag, and handed it to Feng Ling Beast with a letter written with his spiritual sense.

"Lingxi, now take this jade slip to Ning's house in Yunling and tell them that I want to borrow the Sansheng Stone. In addition, ask them to prepare materials that can reproduce the image of the Sansheng Stone. Afterwards, I will naturally return it to them together with the Qiankun Pan, which can be regarded as the rent for borrowing the Sansheng Stone."

Feng Ling Beast was stunned, and asked her to go to Yunling Ning's house now, so what should Mo Chen do?

"Time is running out, and I don't want to go to Yunling in person again to waste my energy. You can go there while Ah Jiu and I are looking for the lotus petals in Fengyang City. Go back with the Sansheng Stone, so there will be no delay."

"But Master, I'm gone, you're alone..." Feng Ling Beast didn't bother to ask Mo Chen what he wanted the Ning Family's Sansheng Stone to do, but just glanced at Ah Jiu next to him, the bird's eyes clearly said distrust.

"It's just a transformed black wolf demon, so what's there to be afraid of?" Having said that, Mo Chen also glanced at Ah Jiu, "And isn't there still Ah Jiu here?"

It's more worrying than nothing.

Feng Ling Beast wanted to refute again, but Mo Chen had made up his mind, no matter how much she talked, it was useless, and finally he could only leave Fengyang City with Mo Chen's jade slip in his mouth, and fly to Ning's house in Yunling go.

Before leaving, Mo Chen left a sentence: "If they refuse to lend the Sansheng Stone, or they can't find the materials to restore the image, just say, I will come to the door to check it personally in the future, if it is not true...hehe .”

Shaking off a few pieces of red feathers, the Fengling Beast finally turned into a light and disappeared over Fengyang City.

Mo Chen and Ah Jiu sat by the tea stand with nothing to do, so they got up and left, looking for an inn to meditate and rest, but halfway through, Mo Chen suddenly noticed that there were people crowded not far away, and the smell of incense and candles wafted in the air.

Looking for the crowded place, a temple appeared in front of him.

Because he has traveled in the secular world, Mo Chen has also seen many temples. Ordinary temples can guess from the appearance only, and know which gods are enshrined.But the temple in front of me looks quite strange, it doesn't look like a Buddhist temple, nor is it a Taoist temple, and it has nothing in common with the earth temples that are common among the people.Ordinary temples would see some reliefs of ancient gods and beasts on the roof tiles, but this temple looked over, but found that there were no gods and beasts on it, but a dog-like thing with four legs and pointed ears carved on it.

"What kind of god is enshrined there?" Mo Chen stopped a person and asked.

"The two young brothers are foreigners, right?" The passer-by was not enthusiastic, and there was some worry in his brows, but he stopped and explained to Mo Chen, "The enshrined here is not a god, but a white fox."

arctic fox?

Mo Chen regained his spirits.

Good-looking people still have advantages. The passer-by was rushing to the temple, but when he saw the red-lipped and white-toothed boy, he looked at him eagerly.

"This is also a legend around Fengyang City. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the ancient city of Fengyang was attacked by black wolf monsters, and the people were in dire straits. At that time, the owner of an antique shop raised a white fox, which was regarded as a disaster at first. He almost found a demon catcher and drove him out of the city. Later, he found out that the white fox turned out to be an auspicious beast. The immortal who came down, the white fox was also a fairy beast he brought from the sky, as for whether the rumors are true, no one has verified. But since then, there has been a tradition of worshiping the white fox in Fengyang City."

Halfway through the speech, the passer-by suddenly sighed and shook his head: "However, as the legend goes on for a long time, the younger generations have never seen the black wolf demon again, so they gradually abandoned the incense in the White Fox Temple. , angered Lord White Fox, the black wolf demon reappeared in Fengyang City decades ago, causing disaster, but no white fox appeared to save the people from the fire and water. Oh, retribution, retribution..."

The passers-by explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and then they left. Holding the incense candles, they continued to rush to the White Fox Temple.

But Mo Chen stood on the spot, looking at the temple for a long time, slightly lost in thought.

"The owner of the antique shop this person is talking about is Ning Yuan's reincarnation?" Ah Jiu's voice brought Mo Chen back to his thoughts.

"Yes. It is the reincarnation of Ning Yuan." Mo Chen replied, thinking of the owner of the antique shop back then, his lips could not help but smile, and his eyes were full of memories and nostalgia.

Thinking about it now, that life was considered the most stable life Ning Yuan and he lived in. They lived in the space between the pillows for more than [-] years. Ning Yuan taught him many secret recipes for refining pills, which provided him with a lot of support for the smooth formation of pills. help.

Before this life, Ning Yuan was the Prince of Liang, and he spent very little time with him, not even seeing him before his death.Later, Ning Yuan was a tomb robber. After meeting, in order to remove the demonic energy contaminated in his soul, he spent days and nights in the space in the middle of the pillow to make medicines, so that he died of illness in a young age.Later, Ning Yuan was entrusted to be born in an antique dealer's family for the first time, but unfortunately was murdered by Gui Ling and died of injustice.

After this life, the demon catcher, the master of Tianji sect, the master of Lingfei Valley, Mr. Yin and Yang, and finally became the patriarch of the Qingluan Town School. None of them died in their lifetimes, and they all experienced extreme pain and torture.

Thinking of this, Mo Chen couldn't help feeling distressed secretly, always feeling that Ning Yuan was too unlucky.

Walking into the temple, Mo Chen wanted to see how the world enshrined him, so he looked up at the statue on the altar, and when he saw it, the originally melancholy and sad emotions in his heart immediately disappeared and were replaced by anger.

That ugly and stupid dog with four pointed ears is actually a fox?Anyway, it should be painted with a layer of white paint and then released!

When Mo Chen thought of the relief sculpture he saw on the roof just now, he was as narcissistic as he was, and immediately became very angry.

It's wishful thinking to want to be blessed by him without distraction!

If Ah Jiu hadn't stopped him, Mo Chen might have rushed up and smashed the statue with his palm.

After finally suppressing his anger, Mo Chen came out of the temple with a sleepy expression, looking at those people who kept prostrating to the statues, feeling very powerless.

"What's the use of that?"

Mo Chen's words are purely a sigh, lamenting the ignorance of the world, blindly worshiping the gods, but they don't know that what they do is useless.

Unexpectedly, Ah Jiu heard it from the side, but said to Mo Chen: "It's useless to them, but to the master, these incense offerings are very beneficial."

"Oh? What kind of saying is this?"

"Ah-Jiu is just speculation. Whether it makes sense or not is up to the master to decide."

"Well, let's hear it."

"People in the world worship gods from all walks of life. Why did this act come about? Has the master ever thought about it?"

"Burning incense and offering candles, prostrating three times and kowtowing nine times is naturally to ask the gods to bless you."

"Then why would you be blessed by the gods if you did this?"

I never thought about it.Although Mo Chen now knows the magic of immortality, he is not a god, and he can't ask the gods himself, how can he know what the gods think?

"It's too early to be unprofitable, and so are the gods. The world builds temples for the gods and offers incense, and the gods will bless them with good weather and get what they want, so as to encourage them to continue to burn incense and prosper the temples. From this point of view, this move is undoubtedly It is beneficial to the gods. Think about it again, master, whenever someone in the secular world asks for prayers, what is the sentence that is often heard?"

At this time, Mo Chen was completely attracted by Ah Jiu's words. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "Sincerity makes spirit?"

"Yes. Sincerity leads to spirit. That is to say, what the gods seek is the sincerity of ordinary people. In other words, what they value is this obsessive belief. The gods have transcended the six realms of reincarnation. , and may not even have an entity anymore, so what is most important to them?"

Mo Chenru was enlightened, and immediately said: "Spiritual thoughts!"

"That's right. That's why Ah Jiu speculates that the gods will be strengthened by the offerings and beliefs of the world. Therefore, the people in Fengyang City enshrine their masters. To them, it is useless if the master does not come here in person. But to the master But it is beneficial. Although the master has not yet ascended to immortality, he is a cultivator after all, and he also possesses spiritual thoughts, and the power of spiritual thoughts will also prosper due to these incense."

Mo Chen felt that Ah Jiu's conjecture was not delusional. He really felt that after coming to Fengyang City, his spirit was much better than before, and the power of his soul did not seem to be weakened as fast as before. Knowing the reason for this, it was only because he hadn't fought anyone for several days and his physical strength recovered well, but now that he thought about it, he felt that it made sense.

Recalling back then, his soul was eroded by demonic energy, and Ning Yuan spent a lot of energy trying to get rid of this demonic energy.In this life of the owner of an antique shop in Fengyang City, Mo Chen was afraid that Ning Yuan would be exhausted from making medicines like before, so he dragged him away from picking spiritual herbs to make medicine in the space between the pillows. He brewed an elixir for exorcism.But the strange thing is that at that time, he obviously stopped taking medicine, but the power of the primordial spirit was getting stronger day by day, and the ray of magic energy hidden in the primordial spirit was also weakening little by little.

Thinking about it now, if it is really as Ah Jiu said, it should have something to do with the temples dedicated to him that sprung up at that time.

Thinking in this way, Mo Chen looked back at the ugly white fox temple again, feeling rather complicated.

Regardless of whether the pious prayers of these mortals will strengthen his primordial spirit power, these people will not be able to waste their time in vain. Now that they are here, simply showing up for a while will make them feel that incense money is not enough to beat dogs with meat buns.

The evening is always very short. It feels like the fiery red clouds are just burning half a cup of tea in the sky, and then it gets dark in a blink of an eye.

All the people in Fengyang City shut their doors, and even the windows were locked with thick wooden boards. The whole city was so quiet that there was no sound, if not for the city guards and patrol teams composed of civilians walking back and forth on the streets from time to time, they would still be here. Thought it was an empty city.

Mo Chen and Ah Jiu didn't want to disturb the guards, so they found a high pavilion in advance, guarded the roof, and paid attention to the movement outside the city.

However, until midnight, there was no trace of the wolf demon.

Tired of waiting, Mo Chen yawned, leaned against Ah Jiu, leaned against it, slid down again, rested his head on Ah Jiu's legs, and simply lay on the roof tiles, looking at the starry sky.

The moonlight was just right, and the silver light poured on the two of them.

Mo Chen just lay on Ah Jiu's lap, raised his hand, took off the mask on Ah Jiu's face, looked at him, touched his face lightly with his hand, then closed his eyes, like a blind man touching an elephant. Dian Dian traced Ah Jiu's face with her hands, from the eyebrows to the eyes, then to the bridge of the nose, and finally touched the cool and soft lips, tapped her fingertips lightly, and did not move.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and an inexplicable emotion swept over him. Mo Chen suddenly smiled, then grabbed Ah Jiu's hand and covered his eyes.

During this period, Ah Jiu remained silent, letting Mo Chen fiddle with her, until her palms covered Mo Chen's eyelids, and after a while, she felt the warmth of her palms.

With a slightly startled expression, Ah Jiu raised her hand, and found that the corners of Mo Chen's eyes had slipped with tears, rolled down her cheeks, and penetrated into her hair.

"Master, why are you crying?" Ah Jiu could only feel that Mo Chen's tears were in his palm, as if they could burn his skin all the way to his heart.

"Is that so, I cried?" Mo Chen opened his eyes, blinked, and then smiled.

Ah Jiu was silent, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Mo Chen's eyes.

Mo Chen looked into Ah Jiu's eyes, looked at each other for a moment, then smiled again: "I really cried, I didn't even notice." After speaking, he sat up, wiped his face carelessly, and turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate , avoided answering Ah Jiu's question, but changed the subject: "Are those black wolf demons coming tonight?"

He really had a crow's mouth, before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sentry warning from the city gate in the distance, and frantically waved the torch to signal the wolf monster to attack.

The earth trembled, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of horses galloping, and the ups and downs of wolves howled from far to near.

The guards patrolling the city drew their knives and sticks and rushed to the gate of the city to support them.

Ah Jiu stood up on the roof, and stretched out a hand to Mo Chen, "Master, let's go."

Mo Chen looked at Ah Jiu's outstretched hand, grabbed it without hesitation, and was pulled up by him.

Tonight, let the people of Fengyang City watch the white fox appear again.
