I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 5: Dedicated to Chao Yuan and respectful to Beidou

On the other side, Xu Jia used the method of "returning to the sun", palm to palm, sole of foot to sole, to protect a trace of life fire, while thinking about the future.

"The last person who resurrected a corpse was Tieguai Li. Since I have resurrected my life, I must practice the immortal way well and cannot waste it. There are actually fox demons in the villages and fields. There must be many people who practice. I want to combine it with the previous life. Practice experience, refer to the authentic methods of this world, and work hard to achieve true results. Don't be fooled by the man named Huang and continue to find discounts from him..."

"It took a lot of effort to cultivate Xiao Zhou Tian in my previous life, but I suffered the loss of not having resources and famous teachers. Later I got resources, but I was very old. I still relied on hard work and perseverance to reach the state of holding the elixir."

"This life has a better start than the previous life. I can only say that I am somewhat prepared, and the cultivation environment is not bad. However, the cultivation is convenient, and there is no way to check all the information online like in the previous life..."

"If I want to practice with peace of mind, I still need someone to protect me and help me practice peacefully. I also need someone to support me so that I won't be burdened by the world."

Xu Jia thought for a long time, and as of now, he only came across a litter of foxes among the candidates to protect the Tao.

It's hard to say anything else, but although I've only known him for a short time, this mixed-haired fox is of good quality.

Not a bad job.

It would be better to use shamanism to make a contract with him, set up a hall, do some work, and recruit some wild fairies to do things for the family.

However, the physical body must first be recuperated and rejuvenated.

This body has died once and its internal organs have lost its vitality. Even if it can be resurrected through the corpse, it will still be short-lived if it is not taken care of properly.

Xu Jia is quite proficient in medical skills, but he believes that it will take a long time to adjust, which can be as short as a hundred days, or as long as several years, before he can carry out internal training.

Moreover, conditioning the body, not only in the early stage, but also in the later stage when the hundred-day foundation building is completed and the refining of Qi begins, it is quite expensive.

If this body's family is only moderately wealthy, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it.

Even if you don’t eat ginseng, stew donkey hide gelatin, or drink deer blood, there is no steamed and dried wild Polygonatum sibiricum. At the very least, you need to polish rice and noodles, raise them carefully, kill a chicken or a fish every few days, and stew it into soup. Boiled into porridge, it first strengthens the spleen and stomach, and then transports and transforms it through the spleen and stomach to strengthen the whole body.

These all cost money.

Xu Jia thought to himself, but his mind was not very drained. After all, he was a ghost immortal for many years and was very energetic.

Soon the rooster crows at dawn and there is light outside.

It's just that the sun didn't shine in, but instead some insects and other creatures became active and climbed onto Xu Jia's body. Xu Jia didn't move and drove them away. He only turned himself into a dead wood pile and remained motionless.

As I calmed down, I heard various sounds outside.

This wild temple stood beside the road, and all Xu Jia could hear were the sounds of walking footsteps, or the pawns of peddlers driving carts and selling pulp.

When the furry fox left, it peed around the temple. The odor in its urine could fascinate those who approached, and it could also warn and deter some wild beasts. For a while, no one noticed that there was someone in this wild temple who wanted to come in and take a look.

Soon, the sun passed and the shadows passed, and time passed by sitting there. At dusk, there was even more silence.

Dusk is the "unlucky time" when people and demons come together. The people all went home one after another, closed their doors, and would not move around at will.

The fire of life borrowed from the fox is becoming more and more critical. Before Xu Jia came back to life, he had not had water or rice for seven days. Now that another day has passed, his words are dry.

Even if the life fire continues to rise, the oil is almost exhausted and the lamp is dry, and I am about to starve to death.

Fortunately, the mixed-haired fox arrived in time, and several large foxes with bald tails, orphaned testicles, lame legs, and immature foxes came in with things in their mouths.

It was something like a lamp, and it had been used for a long time. The soot and grease on it turned into a stubborn black color. The stained black smoke stained the fox's fur.

Seven in total. As soon as these lamps came in, Xu Jia felt a little warm. Although they were not lit, it felt much brighter. What he saw in his eyes was a warm orange tone.

The foxes put down the lamps and ran away. After a while, they came back again with bowls in their mouths.

The old miscellaneous fox transformed into an old lady. When he touched these bowls, he filled them with rice or beans, totaling seven bowls.

"Are you still alive?"

Seeing that Xu Jia had not spoken a word for a long time, and his vitality was almost gone, the bastard fox was afraid that Xu Jia would faint and pass out, and the ritual would not be completed.

"It's okay, I can hold on." Xu Jia's voice was only breathy, without any real sound, and his voice was like a mosquito.

But I still need to ask the furry fox to relax a little and be conscious.

"When the time comes, I will support you and I will bow to you. I will say something and you will say something too. You must be sincere. If you don't have the strength to speak, just say it silently."

"The gods we are going to pay homage to are the great sage Beidou Siming Qiyuanjun in the sky. They are in charge of the fate of all the beings in the world and cannot make any mistakes."

Xu Jia said yes. He knew some rituals better than a furry fox. Huang Zhenren, the director of Dongkong Qingling Palace, said that the world of reincarnation is under the jurisdiction of heaven and earth. There is no big difference, so worshiping gods should be done accordingly. The rituals have also basically changed little.

The ceremony was held in this temple. The mixed-haired fox ordered the little foxes to lower the weeds so that the light of the stars and moon could shine in.

Then he lit the lamp and arranged the shape of the Big Dipper.

He also placed seven bowls of rice and three bowls in front of Xu Jia, with three sticks of incense inserted in each.

Four bowls were placed at the four corners of the temple, with only one stick of incense inserted.

The old miscellaneous fox burned some more yellow paper and lit two candles at the entrance of the temple.

Xu Jia saw some clues. This old bastard fox knew how to "safely protect the house".

The incense was lit, and Xu Jia smelled it. Although it was uncooked rice, it had the aroma of rice, and his stomach started to growl.

Hungry made Xu Jia stare at the three bowls of uncooked rice in front of him. If he didn't have enough self-control and lack of strength, he might just grab the uncooked rice into his stomach.

Raw rice is not suitable for human consumption, which shows that Xu Jia's current essence is still a "ghost" and has not become a human.

The lamp was lit, and the dim firelight lengthened the shadow, but when it fell on Xu Jia, there was no shadow.

The old lady who transformed into an old bastard fox looked at the dark clouds in the sky outside... and her face turned gloomy.

"I can't see the stars today, what should I do?"

"The clouds are rising due to water mist. The stars are just blocked, not that they are no longer in the sky." Xu Jia said with difficulty: "I will try no matter what."

The old furry fox thought about it. He was not only able to transform into a human form at night with stars. He could also cast spells through skeletons during the day and go to the market. The ceremony also included a visit to Beidou.

I'm afraid I was so flustered and anxious just now that I forgot about this for a while.

So he supported Xu Jia and bowed in worship, and made a sharp tone like a child's laughter: "I am determined to go to the Yuan Dynasty, respect Beidou, beg to protect my life, and see no weapons, evil, evil, and all kinds of suffering, I will give you one more If you have 1800 merits, you will always be supported by good stars."

Then he bowed and bowed to the ground.
