Chapter 2: The Fox of the Valley
Lu Fengqiu walked towards the mountains and fields, only to see a glittering ghost fire emanating from the mountains and fields.
It is not surprising that this kind of ghost fire appears in such barren mountains and mountains.
After all, this barren mountain is an excellent place to bury bones.
Xiaohua walked very steadily, letting the mountains and fields rise and fall, and still walking on the ground.
It didn't take long for Lu Fengqiu to feel that within a radius of fifty miles, there was a little breath of a living person.
As soon as his divine sense spread, he knew what this realm was.
This is West Mountain.
Lu Fengqiu remembered that there seemed to be a fox clan in this western mountain.
The fox is a human speaker and reads the books of sages, but he is not an ordinary fox.
Thinking of this, Lu Fengqiu's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, he patted Xiaohua, and then pointed Xiaohua towards the mountain.
After a while, I saw a pitch-black valley appear in front of Lu Fengqiu's eyes, and standing outside the valley, he could clearly see that there was a faint fire in the middle of the valley.
Lu Fengqiu drove Xiaohua towards the valley.
I saw a large bonfire burning in the middle of the valley, and next to the bonfire, there were probably dozens of snow-white fur foxes sitting around.
The dozens of foxes, half-squatting and half-sitting, some sat on the ground, and some sat on wooden piers.
These foxes behave like humans.
Holding books one by one, shaking their heads, making strange sounds, as if they were reading, as if they were children reading in a private school.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but smile slightly, this is what is sensitive and studious.
Lu Fengqiu jumped off Xiaohua's back.
He patted Xiaohua's deer head 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 person reading like a human.
Xiaohua ran to the bonfire with a smoke, and she kept talking.
Xiaohua's sudden arrival made the voices of the foxes stop reading, and the words squeaked towards Xiaohua non-stop.
Three young foxes screamed, dropped their books with their front paws, stretched their limbs, and scurried around the little flower, squeaking at it.
Although Lu Fengqiu didn't understand the fox language, he could understand Xiaohua's meaning.
The three little foxes must have been asking where Xiaohua came from.
Xiaohua said to the foxes that she had come from far, far away.
As soon as the sound of the fox reading stopped here, a stiff voice came out in the darkness of the campfire over there.
"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, the three of you are the most naughty, this deer girl shouldn't have broken in by mistake."
With the stiff voice, I saw an old fox standing up from the darkness.
The old fox walked towards Xiaohua and arched his hand towards Xiaohua, "Dare to ask this deer girl how much she cultivates?" ”
Xiaohua said twice to the old fox, and the old fox couldn't help but say: "It turns out that she is the same age as the deer girl and Xiaosang, Xiaofei, and Xiaoshu." ”
At this moment, Xiaohua whispered twice towards the darkness at the mouth of the valley.
When the old fox heard this, he laughed.
The old fox's laughter and speech were a little strange, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, but he could understand the words after all.
I saw that the old fox arched his hand in the direction of Lu Fengqiu and said: "It turns out that there are distinguished guests here, and there are friends from afar, and they are very happy, and the old man welcomes the distinguished guests." ”
The old fox behaved like an old pedant, but it reminded Lu Fengqiu of the two green snakes he had seen when he was chatting about the world, although the green snake did not understand human language, but he had wisdom, and when he left, he also saluted him like this old fox.
Lu Fengqiu walked out of the darkness.
The elegant and tranquil temperament surprised the old fox, and the old fox even thought in his heart, why didn't this Taoist master make any sound when he entered the valley.
If it weren't for the deer girl reminding him, he really didn't know about the existence of this Dao Master.
However, the old fox has also seen the world, and in the Great Zen Temple, he has seen many masters.
So the old fox didn't show much surprise.
On the contrary, he was quite respectful on the sidelines.
"There are few outsiders in this valley on weekdays, and the Taoist chief comes to the valley, which really makes the valley shine, I don't know the Changzun number? Who is the people, how did they get to this valley? ”
The old fox asked Lu Fengqiu politely.
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "Poor Dao Qingyunzi, is an idle Taoist, idle and idle, walking in the mountains, seeing that in the middle of the night, there is still the sound of reading aloud here, so I brought this little guy to see the world." ”
The old fox said to Lu Fengqiu: "It turns out to be Qingyunzi Dao Chief, this deer girl is not shallow, although she can't speak yet, but I'm afraid it's not far away." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he bowed slightly, he knew that these foxes knew how to refine the horizontal bones, and he brought Xiaohua here to let Xiaohua learn such a method from here.
The old fox may have not seen outsiders for a long time, so he seemed quite excited, and without Lu Fengqiu saying more, he introduced the origin of his clan to Lu Fengqiu.
Although the old fox prides himself on being a foreigner and learns people's behavior everywhere, he is less defensive than people.
If you are waiting for idlers, you will be hospitable, and you will not be like this when you meet for the first time.
However, this also made Lu Fengqiu deeply feel what a pure 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 a lot of thoughts.
And this pure fox clan is like a simple mountain people who are isolated from the world, and they don't have so many thoughts.
The old fox invited Lu Fengqiu to sit down in front of the bonfire and talk eloquently.
Lu Fengqiu said: "As far as the poor Dao knows, there are only a few people in the fox clan who can read and understand, and the pure fox clan can have today, presumably after a lot of hardships." ”
The old fox's green eyes flashed, and he could feel that Lu Fengqiu was not a simple person.
It is possible to be a master of Taoism.
The old fox did not hide it, and said directly: "The old decay clan has lived near the Zhongzhou Great Zen Temple for a period of time, and watched the monks in the Great Zen Temple practice and chant the scriptures day and night, and over time, they have also discerned some truths, but the Great Zen Temple has been destroyed for many years, and over the years, there are indeed some tribulations in the four seas, but these tribulations will always pass." ”
Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly.
The old fox asked Lu Fengqiu some questions again.
I want to know if he is a figure of some Taoist school.
But apparently, the old fox didn't inquire.
On the contrary, the little flowers on the side were playing with those little foxes, the little foxes were holding books and reading, and the little flowers were constantly on the side, and the demeanor was quite like the taste of middle school students looking down on primary school students.
Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiaohua's words.
This guy has been following him for a long time, so he can naturally recognize some scriptures.
When he was in the Mingyue World of Qin Shi, this little guy didn't follow him in the library building, and Xunzi's bamboo forest building, this little guy didn't go less, and he was familiar with some Confucian scriptures.
Lu Fengqiu has never deliberately talked to Xiaohua about these things.
Many things need to be understood by Xiaohua herself.
The books in the hands of those little foxes are nothing more than some elementary enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text".
Xiaohua was full of wisdom, and casually read a few sentences in Xunzi's persuasion.
Such as "green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water. Words like that.
It made these little foxes in awe.
squeaks around the little flowers, just like a little fan girl seeing an idol.
Xiaohua raised her proud deer head and played with a few little foxes.
The old fox was even more surprised when he heard Xiaohua's words.
Seeing that the little foxes were too noisy, he reprimanded the little foxes.
"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, in front of your guests, you are really rude, after so long, you still can't get rid of the habits of beasts, it seems that you must find a gentleman to discipline you, so that you can know what etiquette is."
"The deer girl is not shallow in knowledge, you have to listen to the deer girl's lectures."
Lu Fengqiu looked at the old fox and reprimanded the little fox, and listened to what it said to listen to the deer girl's lecture, and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Fengqiu really didn't know what to say, looking at Xiaohua's proud appearance, this little guy hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he was still a child.
Lu Fengqiu looked at the old fox and raised his face, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but say, "Old Tu, why be angry. ”
"It's the nature of all creatures to like to play, not to mention that they are just a group of young foxes."
"Although the etiquette has to be learned, there is no need to be so rigid, everything must be grasped to a degree, and it is not good to be too late."
When the old fox heard this, he couldn't help but say: "What Qingyunzi Dao Chang said is very true, in the past, there were sages who gave lectures to the tiger and lion, and the Taoist chief was a Taoist master, and the deer girl who taught him was also well-versed in the truth, if these little guys could have a master like the Taoist to teach one or two, it would be their blessing." ”
The old fox said this cleverly, first praised Xiaohua, and then praised Lu Fengqiu, and then led to his own purpose, which means that if Lu Fengqiu can guide these little foxes one or two, it will be a good thing.
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
It's nothing to teach these foxes to read, and the work of education is not divided between humans and beasts.
Lu Fengqiu looked at Xiaohua very jubilantly, and simply agreed to come down and stay here for a few days to teach these little foxes some truths.
By the way, let Xiaohua learn the method of refining the horizontal bone from here.
The old fox was overjoyed when he saw Lu Fengqiu's promise.
Let the little fox on the side come over and greet Lu Fengqiu.
Lu Fengqiu looked at those squeaky little foxes, and couldn't help but think that he didn't expect that he would also have a day to reason 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 edification, not for money.
When the old fox heard this, he felt more and more that Lu Fengqiu was a master.
……
Just when Lu Fengqiu and the old fox talked for a long time.
A fresh breeze came from outside the valley.
A slim and graceful girl dressed in pink ladies appeared in front of the foxes.
The girl looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, gorgeous and incomprehensible, and there was a feeling of being addicted.
Under the light of the campfire, the girl's bright teeth were particularly attractive.
Beside the girl was a young man with a rather dignified demeanor.
When the old fox saw the girl appear, he couldn't help but stand up.
He said to the girl, "Concubine Yuan, you are here." ”
As soon as the girl arrived, the three little foxes named Xiaosang, Xiaofei, and Xiaoshu surrounded them, obviously very familiar with the girl.
The three little foxes squeaked with the girl non-stop, and pointed to Xiaohua and Lu Fengqiu to the girl.
When the girl heard this, she said to the old fox: "It turns out that a foreigner has arrived, and Tu Lao seems that I am a step late." ”
When the old fox heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Concubine Yuan came just in time, the old man introduced to you, this is Qingyunzi Daoist, Qingyunzi Daoist is a pedantic celestial, and promised to preach to these little guys, but it also saves trouble Yuanfei." ”
When the girl heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, no, I just found a gentleman, but I didn't expect Tu Lao's movements to be faster than me." “
The old fox said: "I also stumbled by mistake, if it weren't for the long distance of Qingyunzi Dao through the deep valley, where would the old man go to find a master like Qingyunzi Dao Chang." ”
The girl heard the old fox call Lu Fengqiu one by one, and looked at Lu Fengqiu.
I saw that although Lu Fengqiu was sitting there, she seemed to have a feeling of fluttering at any time, and that feeling made her feel very weird.
The girl was no ordinary person, she boasted that she had seen many powerful people in the world, but no one had ever given her such a feeling.
She didn't know what she thought of in her heart, she bowed slightly towards Lu Fengqiu, and then said, "Concubine Yuan has seen Qingyunzi Daoist. ”
Lu Fengqiu's face was calm, and he bowed slightly towards her, but his eyes fell on the young man beside Concubine Yuan.
This concubine is one of the eight great demon immortals in the world, the imperial concubine of the current Emperor Daqian, or the princess of the Northern Yuantu Dynasty, but she can also be regarded as the number one person.
That young man must be Hong Yi.
At this time, Hong Yi was wearing a green shirt, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his body was slightly thin.
But there is a momentum between his eyebrows and eyes that he will not admit defeat, and Hong Yi at this time is still a teenager who is bent on seeking justice for his mother and realizing his personal ambitions.
Hong Yi, as the son of luck in the current era of the Yang God World, does have something extraordinary.
Although Lu Fengqiu didn't have a good impression of Hong Yi, he didn't have any bad feelings.
The fate of people is in their own hands, and Hong Yi has taken an unusual path.
Hong Xuanji's Tao is to save heaven and destroy people's desires, and the relationship between Hong Xuanji and Meng Bingyun was originally a transaction, both of them had ulterior motives, and they didn't really go together because of friendship.
Hong Xuanji wanted to get some things from the Taishang Dao, while Meng Bingyun wanted to sharpen his Dao heart through Hong Xuanji.
It's just that Meng Bingyun was too deep into the play and couldn't extricate himself, and finally ended up dead, which was actually self-inflicted.
Hong Yi can live until now, Hong Xuanji has made great contributions, tiger poison does not eat children, at least the current Hong Xuanji definitely has no intention of killing Hong Yi.
Hong Yi struggled to control his own destiny, and repeatedly touched Hong Xuanji's bottom line, and Hong Xuanji had murderous intentions.
The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, unless Hong Yi is willing to be mediocre for the rest of his life.
With the change of their positions, Hong Yi finally embarked on the path of killing his father.
One wants to kill his son, and the other wants to kill his father.
Hong Xuanji is a master of science, and Hong Yi has studied poetry since childhood.
But in the end, it led to such a human tragedy.
There are some things that cannot be done anyway.
This is a degree, and there is a degree in everything.
Concubine Yuan's eyes fell on Hong Yi on the side, and said loudly: "This is Hong Yi, originally I wanted Hong Yi to teach Xiaoshu and them to read, but now it seems that he can only let him go back." “
Saying that, Concubine Yuan said to Hong Yi: "I'm sorry, little sir, I'm bothering you to run for nothing." ”
Hearing this, Hong Yi looked at the dozens of foxes and muttered, "So it's these "demons" that you asked me to teach? ”
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 to take a look.
"In that case, then I'll take my leave."
Hong Yi said.
At this time, Lu Fengqiu said: "Since the little brother is here, why should he leave in a hurry, the meeting is fate, why don't you sit down and listen to the reason?" ”
"Daoist Leader asked me to listen to reason?"
Hong Yi stopped and looked at Lu Fengqiu in surprise.
He could see that this talkative Taoist seemed to be deliberately trying to keep him.
Lu Fengqiu looked at Hong Yi and 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 the Yang God World, maybe he can change something about Hong Yi.
Lu Fengqiu looked at Hong Yi and smiled slightly, and said: "The more you say the truth, the clearer it becomes, the unity of knowledge and action will become your own way." ”
