Chen Xiu came out of the back door of the Taoist temple and came to a small forest in the back mountain.

It was nearly dusk, and a few wisps of green fire were wandering in the woods.

As soon as Chen Xiu approached, those green flames were like mice meeting cats, quickly drifting away.

The wild fox slope is full of mass graves, and it is inevitable that there will be some strange things.

From a human point of view, it is scary to hit ghosts.

But from the perspective of ghosts, it's not scary to hit people.

As long as you are not afraid, what you are afraid of is ghosts.

After figuring this out, ghosts are not scary at all.

Chen Xiu caught up with the speed of a 100-meter sprint and grabbed a green fire that fell at the end.

The green flame struggled in his palm a few times, then dissipated.

As the green fire dissipated, some white points of light energy that others couldn't see merged into Chen Xiu's body.

Chen Xiu looked into the depths of his consciousness, and an unengraved bamboo slip shone again, and the remaining half was gray.

When this bamboo slip is fully lit, you will be able to gain a new verse skill.

Drawing verses and bamboo slips is not a casual draw, and there is a price to pay.

That price is emotion.

Poetry, in short, is the expression of emotion.

The logic of exchanging emotions for poetry is also very reasonable.

The emotional energy released when a living creature dies will increase the brightness of the bamboo slips.

When the emotional energy accumulates to a certain extent, the bamboo slips are fully bright, and new verses can be extracted.

After Chen Xiu discovered the logic of exchanging emotions for bamboo slips, he also struggled with the problem of killing, and specially asked his master for advice.

Master said that after sentient beings die, they should be reincarnated, but when something goes wrong in the reincarnation process, they become ghosts.

In essence, ghosts are an intermediate state of the cycle of life, and cannot be regarded as life.

The vast majority of ghosts stay in the world because their grievances are too deep, and the destruction of ghosts is to send them to reincarnate quickly, which is not considered killing.

After Chen Xiu's thoughts were understood, all the ghosts near the Wild Fox Slope were damaged, and what ghost fire, little earth ghosts, and red mang ghosts were all brushed into experience, and some monsters that were not ghosts but harmed people were also brushed up.

Now the demons and monsters near the Wild Fox Slope, seeing Chen Xiu hiding away, it is much more difficult to brush up experience than before.

Chen Xiu gained a little experience, and limped through the clearing in the forest, every step was very careful, like an awkward dance.

This is Yu step, which is a kind of footwork commonly used by Taoist priests in the prayer ceremony.

As a Taoist priest, Chen Xiu's vocational training must also be stepped upon.

Otherwise, it is always physical excesses, and there is no appearance at all, and customers can't accept it.

Chen Xiu practiced, and saw Li Nanxuan slowly walking into the forest, he was about fifty years old, walking slowly, and his posture was elegant, as if every step he took, an invisible lotus flower was born under his feet.

Anyone who reads it must praise it, what a fairy wind bone, a fairy character!

"Apprentice, how are you doing today?" Li Nanxuan's soft voice was like a spring breeze.

Chen Xiu reported on the process of the weeding demon.

"Yes, I have already slain a dragon in the East China Sea when I was your age, so you need to work harder. Li Nanxuan said very casually.

Chen Xiu was very ashamed when he heard this.

At the same age, the master has slain the dragon, and he is still brushing the grass demon, and he is really incomparable to people.

"Master, this is the reward of the weeding demon. Chen Xiu took out the money bag again.

"You keep it, I've never touched money, I'm not interested in money. Li Nanxuan said lightly.

The full demeanor of the master almost suffocated Chen Xiu, worthy of being a master.

"Disciple, this is only the first step in your journey of thousands of miles, there will be countless tribulations and setbacks in the future, and the only thing that can support you to complete the journey is dreams. Li Nanxuan looked up at the starry sky at a forty-five degree angle, with a faint sadness on his face, as if he remembered the vicissitudes of the past.

"Master, I don't have much of a dream, I just am interested in cultivating immortals. Chen Xiu said honestly.

"Great dreams all start with a small goal, the road to cultivating immortals is not a bright road, there are depravity, viciousness, and cruelty," Li Nanxuan stood with his hands in his hands, looking up at the starry sky: "But there is always a force that drives you to keep looking for the other side, this power comes from your original intention, I hope that five hundred years later, when you become an immortal, you can still remember this moment when you look at the stars with Master." ”

"Master, I will. Chen Xiu was moved.

Master's high ideological realm, when will I be able to reach it?

Chen Xiu was still reminiscing about his master's words, and heard Li Nanxuan smile and said, "The neighbor has started ...... again"

Chen Xiu followed his master's line of sight and looked at the opposite hillside.

I saw that on the hillside, six foxes lined up in a circle, standing upright like humans, their slender bodies facing the moon, constantly shaking, with a unique rhythm and charm.

The foxes are dancing, and not for the first time.

Every full moon night, the neighbors dance under the moon.

It's a jump...... Lord of the Shadow Stream?

Chen Xiu's heart moved, it was indeed quite similar.

At that moment, a dark cloud drifted in and obscured the moon, and the foxes stopped dancing.

"Nasty clouds. ”

Li Nanxuan frowned slightly, and casually flicked his hand to the sky.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if he did it, the dark clouds drifted away, and the bright moonlight fell on the foxes' faces again.

Chen Xiu was stunned.

The fox on the opposite hillside was also stunned.

After a while.

An old fox screamed twice, and then a little white-haired fox slipped down the hill and quickly rushed to Chen Xiu and Li Nanxuan.

It straightened up like a human, two paws at Li Nanxuan, and then one paw pointed at the opposite hillside.

"The little fox invited me to his house. Li Nanxuan laughed.

The little white fox nodded hurriedly.

really understood people's words, Chen Xiu was a little surprised.

"Apprentice, you can go to the neighbor's house on my behalf. Li Nanxuan smiled.

"Yes, Master. Chen Xiu nodded and said to the little white fox, "Can I go to your house?"

The little white fox's two dark and clear eyes were bent into crescents, revealing an anthropomorphic smile, which was endearing.

The body of the little white fox was like a ball of jumping white balls, and it led Chen Xiu to the opposite hillside.

On the hillside, the other five foxes also straightened up like people and waved at Chen Xiu, who also waved back.

The fiery old fox led by the red chirped, as if he was very happy that Chen Xiu returned the gift.

The old fox took Chen Xiu to the bottom of the hillside, through the dense bushes, and opened a ball of vines, and inside was a cave.

The entrance to the cave was very small, just enough for Chen Xiu to get into.

The first time I entered the lair of the demons, it would be false to say that I was not afraid at all.

But Chen Xiu was very bold, because the master was next door.

In case of danger, there is a master to cover him.

With Master's thorough cultivation, it is not a piece of cake to handle this group of fox demons.

A stone chamber was excavated in the cave, with a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench, which was no different from a human dwelling.

Although it was cleaned up, there was still a faint smell of foxes.

To Chen Xiu's surprise, there was a bookshelf in the corner of the stone room, and there were several books on the shelves.

The old fox lit an incense stick and put it on the stone table, and the smoke filled the room.

Then, Chen Xiu saw an old man in red appear out of thin air in the smoke.

"Xiaodao Chief, old man Qingqiu Song, this human form is my divine soul, I can't speak human words, I can only communicate with your divine soul, this sandalwood can protect my divine soul. The old man in red said with a smile.

"This method is convenient, my name is Chen Xiu, and my master's name is Cangsong. Chen Xiudao.

Li Nanxuan lived in seclusion, so naturally he would not use his real name.

Cang pine, a vigorous and upright pine, is very powerful when you hear it.

"Qingyun Guan Master is a real master, Chen Xiaodao is also a master of the famous teacher, and being able to be a neighbor with a virtuous master and apprentice is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. Qingqiu Song slapped his ass.

If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.

It seems that it is not easy for this old fox to invite himself to his house.

"Qingqiu's predecessors have a good reputation, I listen to the seniors' conversations, there are poems and books in my belly, not an ordinary demon clan, and it is also an honor for Xiaodao to get acquainted with my predecessors. Chen Xiu modestly glanced at the bookshelf next to him.

Looking at this old fox, he has lived for a hundred years to say the least, and it is not too much to call him a senior.

"Ah Xiu, take the 'Shangqing Vipassana Sutra' and show it to Daochang Chen. Qingqiu Songxi said.

The little white fox's round little body twisted, ran onto the bookshelf, and hugged a book.

Chen Xiu touched the little white fox's head, took the scripture, turned a few pages and put it down.

This 'Shangqing Vipassana Sutra' is a method of cultivation such as breathing and inward-looking, which belongs to the primer book for cultivating immortals, and there is nothing special.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the Taoist chief when I say it, the old fox just read this book, and learned a little bit of the truth of being a human being and the method of cultivation, the old fox is stupid, and he has been practicing for more than a hundred years before he can come out of the shell and communicate with the Taoist. Although the old fox is a demon clan, but he is dedicated to the Tao, never harms people, on weekdays and these fellow clans suck the essence of the sun and the moon, eat some wild fruits, and after a hundred years of trance, then the teacher came, the teacher is powerful, and he is more compassionate, and he has not embarrassed my nest of foxes, the old fox has always been grateful, but he did not dare to take the liberty of disturbing the teacher, until Chen Daochang came, he had the opportunity to get acquainted. Qingqiu Song said.

"The predecessors are too modest, the soul is out of the shell, it is a human monk, and it is also rare, the predecessors have good thoughts, and my master is also very appreciative, let me come to the door to see what the neighbors have to say. Chen Xiudao.

Most of the demon clans in this world are not good, and there are many cannibalisms.

Of course, human monks will not be polite to the demon clan, and they will be punished quickly when they encounter demons.

But Chen Xiu knew that this nest of foxes was just staying at home to cultivate immortals, and they had not harmed anyone.

As a modern person with a deep sense of equality, there is no discrimination against demons, and normal interactions are good.

"Don't dare, the old fox has a reluctance," Qingqiu Song said busily.

"Qingqiu senior, please speak. ”

"This 'Shangqing Vipassana Sutra' has three parts, the upper, middle and lower, and the old fox only has the upper part, so he wants to ask Chen Daochang to go to Hanjin City and purchase the middle and lower parts. Qingqiu Song said.

Chen Xiu quickly thought that Qingqiu Song was a demon clan, and it was very inconvenient to go to the county seat, in case he met a monk who wanted to kill a demon, it would be troublesome, so he asked himself to buy it.

Chen Xiu was a little embarrassed.

There are monsters everywhere in this world, and it's dangerous for a boy to go out.

Although the official road to the county seat has been peaceful, but the low risk is also a risk, what if a big monster falls on the day and just falls on the head?

Seeing Chen Xiu's hesitation, Qingqiu Song waved his hand, and two foxes approached him, holding a plate of golden beans with their paws and offering them to Chen Xiu.

"A little book money is not a tribute. Qingqiu Song said.

"No, it's just a gesture, why bother breaking the bank, besides, these gold are enough to buy a thousand books. Chen Xiu waved his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.

"Where is Daochang Chen, I wait for the fox in the mountains and wilderness, it is useless to ask for gold, the old fox has always admired the real person of the respected teacher Cangsong, this is a little heart, the old fox does not understand the etiquette of the human race, it is a little rude, but the intention is true, and I hope that Chen Daochang will not dislike it. Qingqiu Song said sincerely.

Bribing me to an innocent little boy who is less than eighteen years old?

Is that good?

That's great!

"What are the words of Qingqiu seniors, we are all neighbors, and the value is in love, so the trail is reluctant to make it difficult. Chen Xiu smiled and accepted the golden beans.

"Yes, yes, it's in love. Qingqiu Song also echoed and smiled.

Seeing that both of them were smiling, the little white fox also happily jumped on Chen Xiu's feet and rubbed on his calf.
