(I'm sorry, but I feel a tingling in the back of my head for the past two days.) The update time in the morning has been temporarily reverted back to noon, so please forgive me. ）

It was already dawn, the young man had already rushed to the road in the early hours of the morning, and the people resting next to him were still asleep, completely unaware of the events of last night, Zhou Bai said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and set off again with Hongyu.

"Why did you lie to that young man?" asked Ruby.

"Murder pays for life, and evil will be punished. Zhou Bai said coldly, "Look at that young man's cowardly personality, if he returns to his hometown, he will definitely not be able to do it." I threatened him with the story of the ghost, and when he returned to his hometown, the neighbors in the village would be afraid of the spirit and would try their best to avenge the dead girl. ”

"Maybe somebody will get hurt and even go to jail for it, but I think there are things that have to be done. Recalling a case in his previous life in which he swallowed his anger because he was afraid of power, Zhou Bai couldn't help but add.

Along the way, passing through several town markets, Zhou Bai found that the Buddhist temples had been abandoned, but Taoist priests frequently appeared in front of the people, drawing talismans to cure diseases and drive away evil spirits, which was highly sought after by the people.

Running around the road, when he arrived in Yellowstone City, Zhou Bai was really tired of the daily barbecue melons and fruits, and smelled the faint aroma of bean curd in the city, Zhou Bai decided to rest for a few days before setting off, and Hongyu agreed with both hands.

Looking at the red jade who volunteered to lead the way, Zhou Bai couldn't help but be speechless, is this still the red jade who didn't drink, eat, sleep or sleep at the beginning?

Although Huangshi is a small city, it is also very prosperous, Zhou Bai was just about to keep up, but found that the figure of red jade had disappeared in the crowded crowd, with the flow of people, Zhou Bai was pushed to a strange place, red bricks and white tiles were full of people, Zhou Bai looked at the small temple in front of him curiously, the little fox dared to build a temple in the land of Bingtun to seal the gods, it was really interesting.

Before arriving at the temple gate, I smelled a strong smell of incense, the outer wall of the small temple was obviously recently painted, and the blackened wall was faintly revealed under the snow-white lime powder, it seems that the temple has been built for a long time.

"The scholar is from out of town, right?" A 'Taoist priest' wearing an obviously homemade Taoist robe stopped Zhou Bai, his black and thick hair draped over his shoulders, and a Taoist bun on the top of his head, looking decent. The slender hanging horn eyes and the cunning philistine's eyes rolled back and forth, not knowing what to think about.

Zhou Bai looked at the 'Taoist priest' suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"Poor Dao has been practicing for decades, and the Tao is profound, and such a trivial matter can be known by pinching your fingers. The Taoist priest shook his hand and whisked the dust, and white smoke filled his surroundings, like a cloud of mist, which looked unfathomable. "Come to meet the old Xian'er Temple, you need to prepare cooked meat and high-grade sandalwood, there is just a volume of the best sandalwood here in the poor road, I see that the scholar and I have a fate to give it to the scholar, how about it?"

Zhou Bai secretly said in his heart, this product actually has a lot of appetite, and it is not a one-shot deal.

The Taoist priest looked confident, as if he had a chance to win. How could Zhou Bai let him get his wish, and the matter of Jiangcheng made him learn a truth.

The game is out first. Only by jumping out of the other party's structure can the other party be passive.

"What the Taoist chief said is very true, but why is the Taoist chief's hair so slender and slender, like a woman's hair?" The Taoist priest's face stiffened, and this scholar observed it carefully.

"It's obviously a Taoist robe, but it looks like a Buddhist robe has been restructured. Seeing that the long fingers are slender and do not stick to the mud, they must be extremely handmade, right?"

"No need to say it again!" the Taoist priest looked indignant, "I don't see through it, since I don't want to get married to me, just leave." Is it the work of the saint's son to be so sneering?" he brushed his sleeves away, with an expression that could not be carved out.

Mixed into the crowd with his head held high, turned around and was nowhere to be found.

A few hawkers next to him grabbed Zhou Bai and said, "Childe is really discerning, this Lai Changpi is a liar here." "This old man used to pretend to be a monk and deceive outsiders here. "Recently, after the demon monk was destroyed, he saw that the monk was not good, so he changed his monk's robe and became a Taoist. "Even the hair was brought from somewhere else. ”

"Childe must be more vigilant and careful when he goes out. ”

"yes, yes. Since Childe has come to our Huangshi Old Xian'er Temple, let's go in and worship casually. Lao Xian'er is not a liar, she has great skills. ”

Zhou Bai's expression froze, pushed away the bustling vendors, and walked into the small temple with an expressionless face.

If you know a liar, why not say it earlier?

This is human nature, although Zhou Bai is depressed, he will not blame them, everyone has their own life, if the hawker tells him in advance, he will definitely be retaliated against by the old lai, since this old man has been mixed here for a long time and is not controlled by the government, he will definitely face some characters.

When you go out for life, why bother to ruin your own peace for others?

No matter the past or the future, the past life and the other world, the people at the bottom all think like this, this is the sinking of the mortal world, and they cannot be transcended by being trapped in it.

Ignoring the unhappiness in his heart, as soon as Zhou Bai entered the gate, he saw a five-foot-high clay statue standing in the temple, with a thin body, slightly hunched over his waist, like a thief's eyebrows, and his eyes made people feel that he was not a good person at a glance, his eyes were round, and a tear was painted on his face, as if he was pitying the common people.

The slender arm is put one hand behind the back and the other on the shoulder, like Timmy carrying food.

Zhou Bai suddenly felt that something was wrong, he was obviously a fox, but he didn't have the slightest demonic spirit? If he was a reigning god, why didn't he care about the fraud outside the door?

Walking to the wall, a mural attracted Zhou Bai's attention, and through the mural sacrifice, Zhou Bai understood the origin of the old Xian'er Temple here.

Turning around and bowing slightly to the statue, Zhou Bai stepped back and went out.

After asking the old man next to him and learning about the bean curd shop in the city, Zhou Bai went around several streets before he saw the red jade that had eaten five large bowls again.

"Why are you here?" Hongyu licked the remaining bean curd from her mouth with an intoxicated face, "Did you go to see the fox spirit?"

"You know?" Zhou Bai looked surprised.

"As soon as you enter the city, you will know that the aura is so obvious, but it is indeed an extremely rare means to dissolve the demonic qi and achieve the gods. Hongyu glanced at Zhou Bai. "How's it going?

"......." Zhou Bai snatched the bowl from Hongyu's hand and took a sip of the most famous bean curd in Huangshi, well, it tastes really good. Especially with a sweet daughter fragrance, cough .....

"Since you know it's a male fox, don't tease me. Zhou Bai said with a straight face. "In the past, the locust plague in the south was everywhere, and there was no harvest near Huangshi, and a fox who went down the mountain to experience passed by here, and felt the suffering of the people, so he stole grain from the granaries of various places with the magic method, scattered porridge during the day, and stole grain at night. But I don't know that when the locust plague has started, how can it only exist in Yellowstone?"

Hongyu frowned, this should be an unsolvable situation. Locusts are natural disasters and are haunted by gods, so the world is called the locust god, although it is a Shinto and a demon, how can a fox who goes down the mountain to cultivate his heart fight.

Finally, one day, it found that it had stolen all the surplus grain from all over Jingzhou. Zhou Bai couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he said this, I'm afraid this is also the doom of its ending.

Hongyu opened her mouth and wanted to ask, "Then next year's grain seeds...", but was interrupted by Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai continued. "Before the plague of locusts had dissipated, the fox was caught by officials and soldiers sent from all over the country. Stealing granary grain seeds, the people of Jingzhou were furious. At the head of this Yellowstone city, in front of thousands of people, the fox was beheaded and executed. ”

"When the people dispersed, the Yellowstone refugees gathered the remains of the fox and quietly built a small temple to thank the fox for saving his life. Hundreds of years have passed now, and all parts of Jingzhou have forgotten this past, but this small temple is still located here, and it has been repaired and reorganized in everyone's field of vision. ”

"Is this fox's behavior right or wrong?" Ruby frowned.

"I don't know. Zhou Bai smiled wryly.

He knew that he didn't have any right to judge whether what the fox did was right, and if he were a fox, he would have made the same choice.

Zhou Bai said in a deep voice: "The fox is dead, although there is a god but there is no god, under the thick gathering of incense is the people's will, which is also the reason why the incense is strong here." ”
