the heavens

Chapter 235
Lu Fengqiu walked towards the mountains and fields, only to see glistening ghost fires emanating from the mountains and fields.

It's not surprising that this kind of will-o'-the-wisp appears in this barren mountain.

After all, this barren mountain is an excellent place to bury bones.

Xiaohua walked very steadily, even though the mountains and fields were ups and downs, she was still walking on flat ground.

Not long after walking, Lu Fengqiu felt the aura of some living people within a radius of fifty miles.

As soon as his spiritual consciousness spread out, he knew what this land probably was.

This is Xishan.

Lu Fengqiu remembered that there seemed to be a fox family in this western mountain.

That fox speaks people's words and reads sage books, but he is not an ordinary fox.

Thinking of this, Lu Fengqiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He patted Xiaohua, and then directed Xiaohua to walk towards the mountains.

Not long after, a pitch-black valley appeared in front of Lu Fengqiu's eyes. Standing outside the valley, he could clearly see a faint fire glowing from the center of the valley.

Lu Fengqiu drove Xiaohua towards the valley.

I saw a big bonfire burning in the middle of the valley, and beside that bonfire, there were probably dozens of foxes with snow-white fur sitting around.

The dozens of foxes were half squatting and half sitting, some were sitting on the ground, and some were sitting on wooden blocks.

The behavior of these foxes looks like humans.

One by one was holding the books, shaking their heads, making weird sounds, as if they were reciting, just like children studying in private schools.

Seeing this scene, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help smiling slightly, this is the one who is sensitive and eager to learn.

Lu Fengqiu jumped off Xiaohua's back.

He patted Xiao Hua on the head of the deer and told her to walk towards the group of foxes.

Xiaohua is very smart, and it is the first time she has seen a different kind of book reading like a human being.

Xiao Hua quickly ran to the campfire, chattering non-stop.

Xiao Hua's sudden arrival stopped the voices of the foxes from reading, and they kept chattering towards Xiao Hua.

Three young foxes let out a cry, dropped the book with their front paws, stretched their limbs, rushed over and surrounded the little flower, and squeaked towards the little flower.

Although Lu Fengqiu didn't understand the fox language, he could understand Xiaohua's meaning.

The three little foxes should be asking where the little flower came from.

Xiaohua was talking to those foxes, she came from far, far away.

As soon as the sound of the fox reading on this side stopped, a blunt voice came from the dark place of the campfire on the other side.

"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Shu, the three of you are the most naughty, and this Miss Lu probably didn't come in by mistake."

Along with the blunt voice, an old fox stood up from the dark place.

The old fox walked towards Xiaohua, cupped his hands and said to Xiaohua, "May I ask this girl deer how much she practiced?"

Xiaohua yelled at the old fox twice, and the old fox couldn't help saying: "It turns out that Miss Lu is the same age as Xiaosang, Xiaofei, and Xiaoshu."

At this moment, Xiaohua made two Yoyos towards the dark place at the mouth of the valley.

The old fox laughed when he heard it.

The old fox's laughter and voice were a bit weird, as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat, but he could still understand the words after all.

I saw the old fox clasped his hands in Lu Fengqiu's direction and said: "It turns out that there are distinguished guests here, and friends from afar. It's such a pleasure. This old man welcomes the distinguished guests."

The old fox behaved like an old pedant, but it reminded Lu Fengqiu of the Zhanger green snake he had seen in the world of Liaozhai. The old fox generally bowed to him.

Lu Fengqiu stepped out of the darkness.

The old fox was quite surprised by the elegant and quiet temperament, and the old fox thought in his heart why there was no sound at all when the Taoist priest entered the valley.

If Miss Lu hadn't reminded him, he really didn't know the existence of this Taoist priest.

However, the old fox has also seen the world. He met countless masters in the Great Chan Temple.

So the old fox didn't show much surprise.

On the contrary, he was quite respectful from the sidelines.

"There are very few outsiders in this valley. The Taoist priest's visit to the valley really makes the valley glow. I don't know the name of the elder? Who is it? How did you come to this valley?"

The old fox asked Lu Fengqiu politely.

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "Qing Yunzi, a poor Taoist, is an idle Taoist. He has nothing to do, walks in the mountains, and sees the sound of reading aloud here in the middle of the night, so he brought this little guy to see the world. "

The old fox turned to Lu Fengqiu and said: "It turns out that it is Taoist Master Qingyunzi. This girl Lu is quite intelligent. Although she can't speak human words yet, I'm afraid she is not far away."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly, he knew that these foxes are proficient in the method of refining horizontal bones, and he brought Xiao Hua here because he wanted Xiao Hua to learn this method from here.

Perhaps the old fox hadn't seen a foreigner for a long time, so he seemed quite excited. Without Lu Fengqiu's words, he introduced the origin of his family to Lu Fengqiu.

Although the old fox claims to be a foreigner and imitates human behavior in every way, compared with human beings, he is less defensive after all.

If you wait for idlers, no matter how hospitable you are, you won't be so eloquent when you meet for the first time.

But this also made Lu Fengqiu deeply feel what a pure and kind heart is.

The reason why people's hearts are so complicated is because they have been dyed in the big dye vat for a long time, so they have many thoughts.

And this pure fox family is like simple and simple mountain people isolated from the world, without so much thought.

The old fox invited Lu Fengqiu to sit down in front of the bonfire and talk freely.

Lu Fengqiu said: "According to Pingdao's knowledge, there are only a few of the fox clan who can read and understand. The pure fox clan must have gone through a lot of hardships to be able to be today."

The old fox's green eyes flickered, he could feel that Lu Fengqiu was not a simple person.

It may be a master of Taoism.

The old fox didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The old people once lived near the Dazen Temple in Zhongzhou for a while, and saw the monks in the Dachan Temple practicing chanting scriptures day and night. Over time, they also understood some truths, but the Dazen Temple The temple has been destroyed for many years, these years, wandering all over the world, it is true that there are some tribulations, but these tribulations will eventually pass."

Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly.

The old fox asked Lu Fengqiu some questions again.

I wonder if he is a Taoist figure.

But obviously, the old fox didn't find out.

On the contrary, Xiaohua on the side was playing with those little foxes, the little fox was holding a book and reading, and Xiaohua was yo-yoing from the side, his demeanor and behavior were quite like middle school students looking down on elementary school students.

Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiaohua's words.

This guy has been with him for a long time, so he can naturally recognize some scriptures.

When he was in the Mingyue World in the Qin Dynasty, this little guy followed him around in the library, and he also went to Xunzi's small bamboo forest building.

Lu Fengqiu never deliberately talked to Xiao Hua about these things.

There are many things that Xiaohua needs to understand by herself.

The books in the hands of those little foxes are nothing more than elementary enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic".

Xiaohua's mind was wide open, and she casually recited a few lines from Xunzi's Exhortation to Learning.

Such as "green, take it from blue, and green from blue; ice, from water, but colder than water." Such words.

Let these little foxes be in awe.

Squeaking around Xiaohua, it's like a little fan girl meeting an idol.

Xiaohua raised her proud deer head, showing off with a few little foxes.

The old fox was even more surprised when he heard Xiao Hua's words.

Seeing that those little foxes were too noisy, he trained them a few words.

"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, you are really rude in front of distinguished guests. After so long, you still can't get rid of your animal habits. It seems that we must find a gentleman to discipline you and let you know What is courtesy."

"Miss Lu has a lot of knowledge, you have to listen carefully to Miss Lu's lectures."

Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing watching the old fox scold the little fox, and listening to what it said that it was good to listen to Miss Lu's lectures. In the eyes of the old fox, Xiaohua has become a learned man.

Lu Fengqiu really didn't know what to say, looking at Xiaohua's proud appearance, this little guy hasn't been this happy for a long time, after all he is still a child at heart.

Lu Fengqiu looked at the old fox with a serious face, and Lu Fengqiu couldn't help saying: "Old Tu, why get angry."

"It's the nature of all creatures to like to play around, not to mention that they are just a group of young foxes."

"Although etiquette needs to be learned, there is no need to be so rigid. Everything must be grasped. It is not good to go too far."

After hearing this, the old fox couldn't help saying: "What Taoist Master Qingyunzi said is very true. In the past, there were sages who taught scriptures to fierce tigers and lions. The Taoist priest was a master of Taoism, and the girl Lu who taught him also understood the truth. If these little guys can have Taoism It is their good fortune to have such an expert to teach them a thing or two."

The old fox's words were ingenious, he first praised Xiao Hua, then Lu Fengqiu, and then elicited his own purpose, which meant that if Lu Fengqiu could give these little foxes a lesson, it would be a great thing.

When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

It's nothing to teach these foxes to read, the merit of enlightenment does not distinguish between humans and animals.

Lu Fengqiu saw that the little flowers were very happy, so he simply agreed to stay here for a few days to teach these little foxes some principles.

By the way, let Xiaohua learn the method of refining the horizontal bone from here.

Seeing that Lu Fengqiu agreed happily, the old fox was overjoyed immediately.

Let the little fox at the side come over and greet Lu Fengqiu.

Lu Fengqiu looked at those squeaking little foxes, and couldn't help but think that he would also have a day of reasoning with a group of foxes.

The old fox wanted to pay Lu Fengqiu, but Lu Fengqiu politely refused, and only said that preaching is for enlightenment, not for money.

Hearing this, the old fox felt more and more that Lu Fengqiu was a wise man.

……

Just when Lu Fengqiu and the old fox talked for a long time.

There was a gust of wind blowing from outside the valley.

A slim and graceful girl in a pink lady's attire appeared in front of the foxes.

The girl looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, she was gorgeous and irresistible, and she had a feeling that she couldn't stop.

Under the shadow of the bonfire, the girl's bright white teeth looked particularly alluring.

Beside the girl was a young man with a serious demeanor.

Seeing the girl appear, the old fox couldn't help standing up.

He said to the girl, "Concubine Yuan, you are here."

As soon as the girl arrived, the three little foxes called Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Shu surrounded her, obviously they were very familiar with the girl.

The three little foxes chattered non-stop with the girl, and at the same time pointed to Xiao Hua and Lu Fengqiu to the girl.

The girl heard the words and said to the old fox: "It turns out that a foreigner has arrived. It seems that Mr. Tu is one step late."

Hearing this, the old fox couldn't help laughing and said: "Concubine Yuan came just in time, I will introduce you, this is Daoist Qingyunzi, Taoist Qingyunzi is pedantic about heaven and man, and he promised to preach to these little fellows, which saves me a lot of trouble." Please trouble Concubine Yuan."

Hearing this, the girl smiled and said: "No trouble, no trouble, no, I just found a gentleman, but I didn't expect Tu Lao to move faster than me."

The old fox said: "I also stumbled into it by mistake. If it wasn't for Qingyunzi's long journey through the valley, where would the old man go to find such an expert as Qingyunzi?"

The girl heard the old fox calling Lu Fengqiu one by one, and looked at Lu Fengqiu.

She saw that although Lu Fengqiu was sitting there, she seemed to have a feeling that she was about to fly away at any time, and that feeling made her feel very weird.

That girl is not an ordinary person. She claims to have seen many powerful people in the world, but no one has ever given her such a feeling.

She didn't know what was on her mind, she bowed slightly to Lu Fengqiu, and said, "Concubine Yuan has met Daoist Qing Yunzi."

Lu Fengqiu looked calm and nodded slightly towards her, but his eyes fell on the young man beside Concubine Yuan.

This Concubine Yuan is one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals in the world, the imperial concubine of the current Emperor Dagan, and the princess of the Yuantu Dynasty in the north, so she can be considered a number one figure.

That boy must be Hong Yi.

At this time, Hong Yi was wearing a green shirt, with delicate features and a slightly thin body.

But there is an unyielding energy between his brows and eyes. At this time, Hong Yi is still a young man who is dedicated to seeking justice for his mother and realizing his personal ambitions.

As the son of luck in the current era of the Yangshen world, Hong Yi is indeed outstanding.

Although Lu Fengqiu didn't have a good impression of Hong Yi, he didn't have any bad feelings either.

People's fate is in their own hands, and Hong Yi has taken an unusual path.

Hong Xuanji's way is to preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires. The relationship between Hong Xuanji and Meng Bingyun was originally a transaction. Both of them had ulterior motives, and they didn't really come together because of friendship.

Hong Xuanji wanted to obtain something that was too superior, while Meng Bingyun wanted to use Hong Xuanji to sharpen his Dao heart.

It's just that Meng Bingyun got into the drama too deeply and couldn't extricate himself, and finally ended up dying, which is actually his own fault.

Hong Yi's ability to live up to now is due to Hong Xuanji's contribution. A tiger's venom does not eat its children. At least the current Hong Xuanji has absolutely no intention of killing Hong Yi.

Hong Yi struggled to control his own destiny, and repeatedly touched Hong Xuanji's bottom line, which made Hong Xuanji feel murderous.

The conflict between the two is irreconcilable, unless Hong Yi is willing to be mediocre for a lifetime.

As the positions of the two changed, Hong Yi finally embarked on the road of patricide.

One wants to kill the son, the other wants to kill the father.

Hong Xuanji is a master of Confucianism, while Hong Yi studied poetry and books since childhood.

But in the end it went to such a human tragedy.

Some things, no matter what, cannot be done.

This is the degree, there is a degree in everything.

Concubine Yuan's eyes fell on Hong Yi who was at the side, and she said loudly: "This is Hong Yi. Originally, I wanted Hong Yi to teach Xiao Shu and the others how to read. Now it seems that I can only let him go back."

As she said that, Concubine Yuan said to Hong Yi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I trouble you to make this trip for nothing."

Hearing this, Hong Yi looked at the dozens of foxes and murmured, "So you asked me to teach these "monsters"?"

Concubine Yuan smiled.

"Whether it's a human or a demon, it has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao."

Hong Yi didn't care, anyway, he just came over to have a look.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Hong Yi said.

At this time, Lu Fengqiu said: "Since the little brother is here, why bother to leave in a hurry, meeting is a fate, how about sitting down and listening to the reason?"

"The Daoist asked me to listen to the truth?"

Hong Yi stopped and looked at Lu Fengqiu in surprise.

He could see that this eloquent priest seemed to be deliberately trying to keep him.

Looking at Hong Yi, Lu Fengqiu had a whim, meeting is fate, and people's choices will change due to changes in the environment.

Hong Yi is the son of luck in Yangshen World, maybe he can change something about Hong Yi.

Lu Fengqiu looked at Hong Yi with a slight smile, nodded and said: "The truth becomes clearer as you speak, and the unity of knowledge and action will make you your own way."
