Chapter 263: The Yellow-Haired Fox
"The humble house is ugly, the seats are not complete, and there is no food and water to entertain guests...... "The middle-aged woman followed in, looking ashamed.
"Sit down, let's sit down and leave, don't bother." Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and used it as a seat, and the iron shoes immediately flashed out and retrieved the wooden box when he saw this, but after putting down the wooden box, he frowned, his wooden box had no lid.
"Sit down and talk, the two of us are cultivators, and we won't harm you." Zuo Dengfeng opened his mouth to the middle-aged woman who had been transformed into a fox, and at the same time, he turned over the wooden box of the iron shoes, and the iron shoes sat down with a smile.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman nervously sat on the wooden pier of the hall, it knew etiquette very well, and it sat sideways.
"What's your name?" Zuo Dengfeng waited for the other party to sit down and asked, because the other party was a fox, Zuo Dengfeng did not add an honorific title, but out of respect for it, Zuo Dengfeng did not rush to get those ancient books and bamboo slips on the table.
"Back to the truth, the concubine body is the illusion of a yellow fox, without a name or surname, and without a clan." The middle-aged woman got up and replied.
"Honestly, the two of us have never seen the alien Chengren, this time I just want to find out, there is nothing else, you don't need to be afraid." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down.
The middle-aged woman was relieved a lot when she heard this, and sat down slowly, the animal has the instinct to detect the other party's ability, and the instinct tells it that Zuo Dengfeng's cultivation is profound, and the evil qi is very heavy, so it accompanies 120,000 points of caution.
"You've lived a long life." Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"Back to the real person, the concubine should be ashamed to suffer for 800 years." The middle-aged woman replied immediately.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, the meaning of "dang" by this middle-aged woman is about, probably, this kind of animal can't remember how many years it has lived before it has its senses.
"When can I change my human form?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.
"Three hundred years ago." The middle-aged woman replied quickly, it had already determined at this moment that Zuo Dengfeng and Iron Shoes were not here to kill it or arrest it, but it was still worried about offending the two.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded again when he heard this, this fox had his sanity during the Song Dynasty, but it was not until the Qing Dynasty that Chengren could be changed, and animal cultivation was much more difficult than human cultivation.
"I want to see you for what you are, okay?" Zuo Dengfeng asked, he finally met the legendary fox spirit, he wanted to determine how the fox became Chengren, there are three most complete wild histories of foxes in history, one is Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", the second is Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", and the third is Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji", but no matter which wild history Zhiyi does not record the details of the fox becoming a human, this is exactly what Zuo Dengfeng wants to do today, he wants to find out the most mysterious details that his predecessors have brought in one stroke.
Zuo Dengfeng knew that his request was excessive, and letting the alien show its original form was like letting a human strip naked, so he added the word "yes" with a consultative tone at the end.
After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, the middle-aged woman looked embarrassed, but even if she didn't want to do it, she didn't dare to hesitate, she stood up from her seat and walked to the right side of the wooden pier, and said, "Please forgive the concubine for being rude" The original shape of the body was a yellow-haired old fox, nearly five feet long, several times larger than ordinary foxes, with a black snout and white whiskers, and fox eyes hanging obliquely, and the appearance was really terrifying.
"Oh, Amitabha." Iron Shoes hadn't been mentally prepared before, so he stood up in shock and took a few steps back, but fortunately he could see at night, and if he was a bystander, he would definitely be scared to pee his pants.
Zuo Dengfeng had been watching intently before, the middle-aged woman's original form was not slowly changing, the human head became a fox head, and the hands and feet became limbs, these changes were completed in an instant, and he didn't see the clues at all.
"No need to panic." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke.
"Amitabha, the old man is not panicking." Tie Shoe shook his head and took over the conversation, but he didn't know that Zuo Dengfeng's words were not said to him at all.
After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and extended the aura to hold up the yellow-haired fox, and fell down, after a rough estimate, the weight of this fox should be around seventy catties.
"It's a lot of offense, please return it to your body." Zuo Dengfeng Chong that fox made a low-specification Taoist chief salute, Taoist priests are divided into three specifications, low-standard is generally to the laity, the posture is similar to the arch of the hand, but the left hand is holding the right hand, the medium-sized chief salute is used with other Taoist priests, the left hand is erected on the chest, slightly bowed, the highest specification of the head is used for the elders, both hands clenched fists and bent down to bow their heads.
The yellow-haired fox was frightened by Zuo Dengfeng's back hair at the moment when it was held up, until Zuo Dengfeng put it down, it was relieved, lowered its head and ran into the east house with the clothes that fell on the ground, Zuo Dengfeng and the iron shoes both turned their heads to avoid suspicion, and after a while, the middle-aged woman dressed and returned, it only wore one piece of clothing, and naturally wore it quickly.
Zuo Dengfeng smiled bitterly when he saw this, he didn't understand it before, and he wanted to make it change again, so he could only give up when he saw this situation.
"Let's get back to our seats." Zuo Dengfeng prevented the middle-aged woman from returning to her seat, and at the same time raised her hand to extend the aura to hold it up again, and after trying it, she found that the weight had changed, and it weighed about twenty pounds after becoming a Chengren shape.
At this moment, the woman in yellow had already determined that Zuo Dengfeng had only come out of exploration and curiosity, so she was no longer nervous and let him weigh it.
"You showed how you did it before." Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden pier to signal the middle-aged woman to sit down.
"Concentrate and meditate, think where your heart goes, and be sincere and benevolent." The middle-aged woman sat down and opened her mouth, and she was still sitting diagonally, but Zuo Dengfeng no longer thought that it was a simple etiquette to sit reclining at this moment, because there was a vacuum in its clothes.
Zuo Dengfeng frowned when he heard this, the words of the woman in yellow can be summed up as 'I want to change', such an answer did not satisfy Zuo Dengfeng, after changing from a fox to Chengren, not only the shape has changed, but even the weight has changed, which is not in line with Western science, since it cannot be explained by Western science, it can only be found from the traditional point of view.
"The old man is going out and waiting for you." Iron shoes stood up and walked out with the wooden box when Zuo Dengfeng groaned, there were three reasons why he was in a hurry to go out, one was that he had seen the fox become a human, the second was that the clothes worn by the fox were too exposed, and the third reason was the most important, he poured out the boss when he took the wooden box, and he was very uneasy when the boss was with Thirteen, although Zuo Dengfeng had already admonished Thirteen, but after all, Thirteen had a criminal record, and no one dared to guarantee that it would not relapse.
"When you change, you can have an aura to run." Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the iron shoes, then turned back to the middle-aged woman and asked.
"What is Reiki?" The middle-aged woman asked suspiciously.
"The invisible qi that travels through the meridians in the body." Zuo Dengfeng explained that this yellow-haired fox has no race, it is a single jumper, and its ability to become a spirit is not caused by the cultivation of aura, but because it has become a spirit for a long time, so it does not understand what aura is.
"What are meridians?" The middle-aged woman asked again.
Zuo Dengfeng shook his head helplessly when he heard this, he was here to find answers, not to be a teacher.
"Don't be alarmed, come, show your form." Zuo Dengfeng grabbed the other party's wrist with his hand, and at the same time opened his mouth to relieve the tension of the middle-aged woman.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman began to nervous again, because the position where Zuo Dengfeng grabbed was its vein, and the vein gate was restrained and could not escape, and after being stunned for a moment, it could only reappear in its original form.
At the moment when the yellow-haired fox appeared in its original form, Zuo Dengfeng felt the violent fluctuations of the aura in its body through its veins, this fluctuation was like a storm crashing on the shore, extremely violent, far from being able to withstand by human meridians.
"Human." Zuo Dengfeng closed his eyes and spoke.
After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, the yellow-haired fox turned into Chengren again, and Zuo Dengfeng had the answer in his heart, the animal change is to change the bones and body with the help of aura, which is a very painful process, fortunately, their sensitivity to pain is far lower than that of humans, so they can endure the great pain brought by the change.
In addition, the change of its weight is also caused by the aura, although the aura is invisible, but there is substance, after the change into a human, the aura with the expansion of the body caused by the increase in weight, in fact, these animals with the Tao can not only become Chengren, but also become other animals after figuring it out, they may like to become Chengren for two reasons, one is to change the human form after the convenience of their practice, the second reason is that they feel that human beings are the most powerful.
"Is it painful when you change?" Zuo Dengfeng let go and asked.
"Bearable." Middle-aged woman picks up clothes to cover her body.
Zuo Dengfeng saw that it was ashamed, so he waved his hand at it, signaling it to go to the East House to put on his clothes, the middle-aged woman walked away sideways, Zuo Dengfeng casually took the paper books on the table, these books are extremely old, most of the book covers are missing, the binding line is broken, and the paper has begun to melt, if it weren't for the dampness in the mountains, I'm afraid it would have been broken and invisible.
There are already three paper books, a "female ring", a "Book of Filial Piety", and a "internal training", these are the books that the ancients often read, nothing more than to persuade women to follow the four virtues, and persuade men to obey their parents, Zuo Dengfeng is not interested in this kind of book, and after a few glances, he put it back on the table, and then picked up the bundles of bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips also have three bundles, the ordinary two bundles are Underworld, that is, the words that praise the deceased, similar to the surname of the inscription, these bamboo slips have begun to blur after the cinnabar handwriting has begun to blur.
"Where did you get these bamboo slips?" Zuo Dengfeng rushed out of the middle-aged woman who walked out of the east room and asked, this middle-aged woman who changed from a yellow-haired fox may have been to a human-inhabited area before, otherwise it would not be able to speak human language, let alone understand words.
"The concubine saw it in the cave before, and after settling here, she brought it back." The middle-aged woman replied.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, ancient tombs were generally built relatively wide, foxes and other animals like to dig into the tomb to live inside, these paper books and bamboo slips, and even the clothes it wears are all brought out of the tomb.
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she walked into the West House, Zuo Dengfeng picked up the same bamboo slips as the Qingshui View recorded the Yin and Yang life and death recipes, and spread them out to read, this bundle of bamboo slips may have been read by the middle-aged woman before, and the order of rolling them up was reversed, Zuo Dengfeng saw the names and cents of the weight of some herbs after spreading it out, and after thoroughly spreading it out, he found that it was recorded in some pharmacies that treat common diseases, and the content was plain.
"Real person, please use it." The middle-aged woman took out a few dried fruits from the West House and put them in front of Zuo Dengfeng.
"Where did you get this bundle of bamboo slips?" Zuo Dengfeng nodded and then spoke, although the content of this bundle of bamboo slips was plain, but the handwriting was very familiar to him, this was the handwriting of Wu Qingzhu, the master of Wu Xinyu......
