One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 52: Fire Sparrow, Taoist Fox
Hu Rouji stood in front of the "Rest Cave" and looked into the canyon of the mountain. She saw a group of ghosts advancing on the top of the woods.

Hu Rouji didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. She brought her people here not because they had nowhere else to go, but because she knew that in a few days, the eldest princess of the fox tribe would marry the grandson of General Zhennan of Guangyuan Prefecture.

So the eldest princess would pass by here on her way to Guangyuan Prefecture, and she and her clansmen were waiting for her here.

Their branch was removed from the main lineage, but she was determined to return to the main lineage.

The eldest princess's mother is her sister. She usually has no chance to meet her. This is a rare opportunity. She not only wants to see the eldest princess, but also wants Yuping to be with the eldest princess.

The eldest princess married the grandson of General Zhennan of Guangyuan Prefecture, so if their branch settled here, it would not be far away and perhaps they could get some care.

At this moment, she looked at the team moving forward in the wind and rain, and knew in her heart that these should be the "ghosts" from Beiyin Mountain.

The ghosts in Beiyin Mountain have always been keen on going to those big cities. Different from the foxes who always like to admire scholars in the human world, they like to pretend to be gods in the human world so as to gain incense and improve their cultivation.

Beiyin Mountain, like Foxqiu Mountain, is part of Qianshan Kingdom.

The Beiyin Mountain is very large and has many caves, and there is a ghost in each cave.

Now, this group of ghosts came here.

Hu Rouji was a little confused as to why.

As far as she knew, the Princess of Fox Hill would marry the grandson of General Zhennan in order to ease the hostile relationship between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Qianshan Kingdom.

In the wind and rain, a group of ghosts carried a black sedan chair and walked with the wind and rain.

Amid the howling wind and rain, a group of ghost shadows moved forward flickeringly, with ghosts playing suona in front and behind.

The ghost team came from the opposite side of the river, passing directly across the river in the wind and rain, and when they were about to enter Wuze County through a hole at the bottom of the hillside, they suddenly stopped.

The curtain of the black ghost sedan was lifted, revealing a pale and thin face. He wore a black hat with two drooping ears and a silver square cloud mirror in the middle.

And in the cloud mirror on the hat, a blood-red eye suddenly appeared, staring at Wuze County in the rain and fog.

In his eyes, there was a faint red light in the rain in Wuze County. The red light was like a burning flame, and the strongest place was on the hillside not far away. The fire could not be concealed even in the heavy rain.

"How come there is a Chijun Temple in Wu Ze? No wonder my little brother didn't come to the mountain to find me for so long. I'm afraid he has been burned to death." The ghost like a scholar in the black sedan said coldly.

He looked at the hillside, his eyes filled with chill. He wanted to take advantage of the wind and rain to go up and take over the temple, but he held back in the end. He had important business to attend to in Guangyuan Prefecture this time, and he couldn't cause any trouble on the way.

Thinking of this, he said, "Change lanes."

He didn't dare to go through the county anymore, so he changed direction.

Zhao Fuyun first heard the suona sound stop for a long time at the foot of the hillside, and then there was no sound.

He didn't know where the other party had gone, but he was sure that he would never enter the county town. He believed that in the county town where almost every household invited the Red Flame God to live in, not ordinary ghosts would dare to enter.

At noon, the wind and rain stopped.

Zhao Fuyun opened the door and looked at the foggy river outside and the mountains shrouded in clouds. For a moment, he felt that the scenery here was exceptionally beautiful.

However, he knew that beneath this beautiful mountain and river scenery, there were many terrifying things, and he did not dare to explore further.

Time flew by. He cultivated the Jiehuo Zhensha every day and taught Yuping to read scriptures at night. When people went fishing in the Wuze River, they would often bring him fish to eat.

The anger emanating from the fire grew stronger and stronger, and he stayed in the temple every day.

On this day, a bird suddenly circled on the roof. The bird was fiery red all over, like a firefly.

It seemed to be testing something, and slowly, it landed on the roof, then flew under the eaves and drilled in through the eaves.

But as soon as it showed its head, it felt a strong sense of danger, a little fire was flying towards it, it flexibly retracted, letting the little fire miss. It flew out of the house in shock, hovering in the void, it felt angry, just as it got in, it smelled the strong aroma of fire, for it, this was like a fatal temptation.

Not everyone who smells the strange fragrance produced by this calamity fire will pay special attention to it. Only those who extremely hate it or extremely like it will pay attention to it.

It was attracted by the aroma of fire. After entering the temple, it felt the aroma of fire was more strong and delicious.

It barked twice in anger, and couldn't help but rush into the temple again, but this time it changed the direction.

However, just as it came in, a little fire shot towards it, so it shrank back and flew into the air outside, barking a few times to express its anger.

Afterwards, it drilled in again, but this time, it was greeted by a binding force. The flames that seemed extremely friendly to it suddenly became like enemies, quickly solidifying around its body.

It saw the annoying person in its eyes and stretched out a hand towards itself.

"Want to catch me, huh..."

It flapped its wings and pecked in the firelight with its beak. Zhao Fuyun felt a crack in his hand and the bird slipped out like a loach.

He even felt that the bird was a ball of fire.

It seems to be tangible, but when he captures it, it gives him a feeling of being both tangible and intangible.

He felt that the red bird was showing an escape technique. However, it was not the kind he imagined, which could turn into flames and travel a hundred miles in one breath.

But he was still very careful to guard against this mysterious bird.

There are so many rare and exotic animals in the world, and he doesn't know what kind of bird this is.

But no matter what kind of bird it is, it cannot eat its own fire.

After fighting with the bird for a whole day, it did not come in again at night.

However, in the evening, the little girl Yuping came to attend the class again. What Zhao Fuyun didn't know was that the firebird was lying on the roof tiles listening to him lecture on "Tiandu Mountain Basic Qigong Method".

After a day, it was indeed tired, especially after using the escape technique several times, it felt weak all over.

At first, it was just listening half asleep, but later, as it listened, it found that what the bad guy in the house said was very interesting. Many things that it didn't understand in its mind were suddenly clarified, and it felt as if everything was suddenly enlightened.

Unconsciously, the flames on its body shrank and became more solid.

There were stars in the sky, mountains, rivers, a temple, a flaming bird on the roof, and a little fox girl who had transformed into a human in the temple, listening to a young Taoist priest talking about the method of practicing Qi.

After a night, the morning sun shone on it, and its energy quickly recovered.

Then it kept going in, trying to snatch the fire to eat. Its instinct told it that eating the fire would be of great benefit to it, but it was stopped every time.

At night, it would listen to Zhao Fuyun's lectures here again.

Just like that, after about half a month, the flames on its body became more and more condensed, and the feathers that were originally like fluff turned into hard feathers.

Moreover, Zhao Fuyun has already talked about the theory of Yin and Yang and the Unity of Qi, starting from the method of practicing Qi.

Zhao Fuyun watched the flame change from pale to deep red, with all the colors blending into one.

He knew that the fire disaster had really happened.

The combination of evil spirits only needs the right time.
