Chapter 19: Sentient Beings

Hearing that the foxes under the tree were going to see the tree and set up the pot, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning: "If the tree under my feet is sawed down, although the foxes have low skills, they still have to prevent them from rushing up. ”

Thinking of this, the young man pursed his lips, touched the hunting knife behind his waist, and tightened the strap of the scabbard on his left arm, ready to go down the tree to fight at any time.

After a short time, the foxes suddenly let out a cheer, followed by the sound of sawing trees.

Immediately after, there was a fire in the dense forest below, and the cauldron that could cook people had been set up.

"These guys want to seek death, are they afraid that the master's fox meat will not be enough?"

Seeing that the group of foxes under the tree were determined to embarrass themselves, Qi Jingzhi's eyes gradually turned cold, but there was no fear in his heart.

He laughed loudly under the tree: "Your strength is really small, and I haven't seen this tree shake for a long time!" If you haven't eaten dinner, there are still half foxes by the stream, so you might as well throw them into the pot and boil them, and come back when you are full of food and drink! ”

When the foxes heard this, they cursed again, and all kinds of foul language were not the same, and the sound of sawing trees became louder and louder.

The thick trunk swayed, and countless leaves fell down.

Qi Jingzhi hurriedly squatted down, hugged the branch with one hand, looked around, and silently estimated the distance between himself and the other trees around him.

Once the ancient tree under his feet breaks, he must quickly determine the direction in which the trunk is falling, and make a decision in a very short time, whether to jump on another tree first, or slide straight down the tree to fight to the death.

However, the young man waited for a long time, and the ancient tree under his feet just shook back and forth, but he didn't see the slightest intention of breaking and falling.

After a long time, Qi Jingzhi gradually became suspicious: "Could it be that the sawing tree is fake, and it is scaring people from beginning to end?" Are these foxes expecting me to jump off a tree and fall to my death? ”

He immediately pretended to be flustered, and shouted under the tree in a hurry: "You guys are so unreasonable! That red fox has repeatedly stolen the bait of my beasts, and I am a hunter, if there is always no harvest, will not the whole family starve to death? And now you are sawing trees against me, and you are so deceitful. No more stopping...... I'll fight with you! ”

It seemed that she heard the lust of the young man on the tree, and the second girl's voice became louder and louder, and she shouted reluctantly: "You splashed wood, stupid and stupid like a donkey!" Don't honestly learn from the old farmers to grow crops, and specialize in killing! How many relatives and friends in our family have been killed by thieves like you! ”

The group of foxes under the tree immediately echoed in groups, this said that the seventh uncle and grandfather were caught by the beast clip and broke his leg and died of pain, and the other said that the fourth aunt and grandmother ate poisonous chicken, and the hunter who taught the sky to kill the skin was picked, such as counting the reincarnation today, and was about to take revenge!

The second girl paused, and waited for the scolding of the foxes to stop for a while, and then screamed again: "If you obediently jump off the tree to lead the death, if not, close your beak and don't speak!" When we've sawed down the tree, we'll settle the score, you thief!" ”

Listening to the other party's scolding, the corners of Qi Jingzhi's mouth turned up slightly, and he no longer answered, but leaned on the canopy branch behind him, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He imagined himself as a white crane, with a slender neck and a bulging throat, while swallowing heavily and filling his lungs.

Gradually, the young man's breath became longer and farther, and the sawing trees and noisy sounds of the foxes under the trees disappeared, as if there was only one crane in the world, flapping its wings and gathering momentum, just when the time came, it would go up the clouds and soar into the sky.

Time passed little by little, and the eastern sky finally showed a touch of fish belly white.

Qi Jingzhi slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that the physical strength that had been overdrawn before had been fully recovered, and he could be called full of energy, and there seemed to be inexhaustible strength all over his body.

He listened attentively, and the sound of the foxes sawing trees was still there, but he was obviously weak, and there was no loud shouting and scolding.

The young man grinned, lowered his head and shouted under the tree: "The rules in the mountains are that the law of the jungle is that the law of the jungle is the strong!" was killed and eaten by others, it was a lack of ability and a matter of fate. Master, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, you disperse now, we can go our separate ways. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

These few words were shouted, and there was finally silence under the tree.

After a long time, the old fox sighed hatefully, and said with a crying voice: "I hate that I am too shallow, and I can't help you villain." My son, though he was a little stubborn, had already given birth to a spirit and became a sentient being, different from the beasts of the mountains. ”

"It's just stealing a few baits from you to eat, and it's not going to die anyway, is it? Even in the laws of your race, this petty theft is not a capital crime! ”

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi smiled dumbly: "I told you about the rules in the mountains, but you talked to me about the laws of the world." Your son didn't care about any law when he stole it, but I took it, and he opened his mouth to commit murder, and then I was killed by my bitter master. You just brought this lawsuit to the yamen, and it is also innocent! ”

Before the young man's words fell, the second girl immediately gritted her teeth and shouted, "Then didn't my brother die in vain?" How can there be such a truth in this world! ”

In the face of the enemy who killed his loved ones, there was not only bitter hatred in his tone, but also sadness and resentment that he was powerless to take revenge.

"Are there sentient beings?"

Qi Jingzhi sighed secretly, his eyes were like a deep pool, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.

He only groaned slightly, and then replied categorically: "It provoked me, but my ability is not good, so naturally I died in vain!" ”

"Since you claim to be sentient beings, you should know the preciousness of life and the difficulty of cultivation."

"If I stop there, I don't want to kill more. If you still want revenge, you have to wonder I cut the grass and eradicate the roots! That's all he said, Master Mo Dao didn't know what to expect! ”

As the young man said to Meng Fuzi, in life, there must be a difference between good and evil in your heart, as well as a distinction between enemy and self.

These foxes still care about family affection, and he is not alone, but now that the two sides have been married, it is really meaningless to talk about what is right and wrong at this time.

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar under the tree.

I only heard the old fox say slowly: "You all go home, the old body is here alone!" ”

Then there was another argument and noise, especially the voice of the second girl was the most sharp and high-pitched.

Qi Jingzhi listened silently on the tree, and in the end, the group of foxes under the tree was mostly lifeless after all, and they dispersed half-pushed and half-scattered.

The boy did not take this lightly, after all, these foxes are cunning by nature and good at transfiguring sounds, so they may not be willing to leave obediently.

He glanced up at the eastern sky, and saw that the white of the fish belly had turned bright red, and knew that the sky was about to brighten, and his heart was even more courageous.

The old fox under the tree, however, was already impatiently waiting, and urged in a loud voice: "Thief! Now that my family members are gone, and only the old man is left, you should have the courage to come down from the tree, right? ”

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi didn't talk nonsense, took a deep breath, and then took a step without hesitation, and the whole person fell down as lightly as a feather!

He was in mid-air, already holding the trunk of the tree with his backhand, and the momentum of his previous fall immediately slowed down, and then he slid under the tree unharmed.

As soon as he landed, the young man with his back against the big tree immediately drew his knife in his hand, swept his eyes, and had a general view of the situation in front of him.
