Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 64: Saint Xi Chen (4k large chapter)

Although Miss Bai does not recommend using this technique too often, Chen Ji did not use it to ward off disasters or misfortunes, but to open a forum to connect yin and yang and ask Lu Pan to do so, so it does not count.

Of course, Chen Ji did not have the list of items that Yan Chixia had purchased that day.

But the innkeeper is still there, so I just need to pay him some more money to buy him one.

"Oh, Master Chen, you are embarrassing me!"

In the inn, as soon as Chen Ji took out the silver, the innkeeper shouted and quickly returned it.

"You've gotten rid of the plague in town, and my business has recovered. I can't thank you enough, so how dare I accept your money?"

"Besides, if my wife knew about this, she might not let me sleep in the room tonight!"

"What does that matter?"

Chen Ji frowned, but was puzzled.

Someone nearby answered with a smile.

"His younger brother and brother-in-law drank together and provoked the plague ghost. If it weren't for Taoist Master Chen's intervention, I'm afraid they would have been extinct."

“Is that so…”

Chen Ji suddenly realized what was going on and accepted the thanks with peace of mind.

"I wonder when to send it to the Taoist priest? Where to send it?"

The shopkeeper asked respectfully.

"Just send it to Huxian Medicine Hall in the west of the city before the hour of You."

After saying that, he added.

"I'm currently seeing a doctor there. If you have any medical problems, you can go there. There's no sign at the door yet, so you might have to ask."

"must!"

After the shopkeeper agreed, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said. Who would agree to go to the pharmacy for no reason? Isn't this just cursing himself to be sick?

Fortunately, I thought of the reason as soon as I thought about it.

"It just so happens that the two of them at home are still a little weak. I'll take them to see Mr. Chen another day when he's free."

"Okay, but I'm not good at medicine. There's another expert who's here to see me. I can go anytime."

There were also many onlookers in the inn.

After knowing that Chen Ji was a master who caught the plague ghost, they all respected him. Now that they heard that the master could also treat illnesses, most of them began to think.

When traveling around the world, I always feel sick or uncomfortable.

In the past, I never went to the clinic, either because I was worried about money or because there was no good doctor to see.

Now that I have met a master who is seeing me, I am tempted to take a look.

I don't dare to expect to have a good relationship with a master, but it would be enough if I could cure my illness.

So someone borrowed a pen and paper and asked for the detailed address.

Chen Ji waited for them to remember everything, then went out to buy a jar of good wine and some snacks and dried fruits before returning to the pharmacy.

The fox who had gone out to buy things had returned and was telling Miss Bai about what he had seen and heard.

When they saw Chen Ji coming back, they first bowed and asked how he was, then looked at the things Chen Ji bought and stuck out their tongues.

They are not gluttons. Although they are not greedy, they also like delicious food.

Miss Bai looked at the wine and nodded slightly to thank Chen Ji.

Chen Ji put down his things and asked Hu what he had bought.

Bai San was holding a sugar painting in his hand.

"I saw that man drawing with sugar. He would draw whatever animal he wanted. So I paid him double the money and he drew a fox. It was really beautiful."

Bai Si was holding a few firecrackers.

"I saw someone getting married on the road and they put a few of these things there. I thought it was interesting, so I bought a few and wanted to see how it differed from the Lightning Induction Technique."

Bai Shijiu shook his head.

"I was so busy people-watching that I forgot to buy anything."

The same goes for Bai Shi.

"I watched the ironworkers forging iron, but I didn't buy anything. I did learn some techniques for forging iron."

After hearing how much money the foxes spent, Miss Bai nodded with a smile.

"Everyone's doing well. Those who bought things are doing well, and those who didn't are doing well too. I let you watch more people. Did you gain anything?"

The four foxes opened their beaks, not knowing how to speak.

After a while, they looked at each other, and then Bai Shijiu spoke first.

"After seeing so many people, I realized that people are indeed incredibly complex."

"The skin may look the same, but it has many faces."

"I've seen people who buy things and don't have enough money, and the sellers curse and swear. If they give more money, they laugh and flatter."

"If I were to change, I don't know what kind of change I would need."

The other three foxes simply nodded.

"Miss Bai, we think the same."

Miss Bai snorted lightly and looked at the three foxes behind her.

“It’s still like this!”

"You were so busy looking at the novelties outside that you even forgot about your business. If it weren't for Nineteen observing carefully, I don't know when you would have learned how to transform."

After saying that, he patiently taught the foxes the trick of transforming.

Chen Ji listened thoughtfully.

The fox's transformation is primarily about looking similar, but this is the lowest level of transformation.

It was just like the fox chariot at that time. If you thought it was fun, you could transform it, and even the hair on the head and tail could not be hidden.

It's not even possible to transform into a dead object, let alone a human form, which has many flaws. Bai Ba is probably the same.

If you improve a little, you will be able to fully understand the nature of the object you are transforming into, which will result in fewer flaws than before.

There may only be features such as fox tails or animal ears.

Some of the transformed monsters in Xiantai Mountain are probably of this level, that is, they only know the human form but not human nature.

If you become more proficient, you can probably transform into a human form, but you also have to pay attention to many taboos.

For example, a fox can easily transform into its original form if it greedily eats a lot of raw meat, does something bad and bumps into a talisman used to drive away evil spirits, or has lustful thoughts.

Only when one can change one's appearance at will like Miss Bai, without any worries, can one say that one has truly mastered the art of shapeshifting.

“It’s really difficult!”

"But after meeting so many people, I understand more than I did when I heard these things on the mountain."

"Let's go out and see some people tomorrow."

The foxes whispered.

"No need, someone should come here to see a doctor tomorrow."

Seeing that the foxes were confused, Chen Ji told them what happened in the inn.

"Sir, you are really capable. You have attracted people to your house just by doing this. This will prevent the fox from escaping."

Several foxes praised.

Chen Ji felt embarrassed and embarrassed.

It was obvious that he had caused trouble for the fox, but the fox still wanted to praise himself. He had a feeling he had never had before.

However, thinking that this was also the original intention of bringing the fox down the mountain, he slowly explained.

"It might be very busy. I wonder if it will interfere with your practice."

Then he looked at Miss Bai again.

"And over in Hejian Prefecture..."

"Master Hu has gone out to visit friends, so there's naturally no problem. Seeing a doctor here is also a way to establish a relationship, and that's what the Sun family is like."

"Besides, foxes are here to visit people. If someone comes here, it really saves us from going out, which is a lot more convenient."

"Mr. Chen, don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Miss Bai seemed to know what Chen Ji was going to ask and answered with a smile.

"That's good."

Chen Ji felt much more at ease.

"Is Taoist Master Chen here?"

Just as he was about to say something else, the voice of the innkeeper came from outside the door.

It turned out that all the things he had purchased had been gathered, and he delivered them personally.

"It's not even the twilight hour yet, so I shouldn't have delayed the Taoist priest's business, right?"

Chen Ji took the things, took a look, and found that nothing was missing and the time was even much earlier, so he bowed.

"It's just right, the shopkeeper is thoughtful."

"The inn still has business, so I'll go back first. If the Taoist priest has any other instructions, please send someone to pass them on."

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, not daring to stay any longer.

Chen Ji also knew that he was afraid that he would invite the judge again, so he did not force him to stay.

He returned to the house and told Miss Bai that he was ready, then rushed to the previous place to set up an altar to invite Lu Pan to show up.

Previously, when he saw others doing these things, it didn't take much time, but when he tried it himself, Chen Ji found it was still a bit cumbersome.

After a lot of effort, the altar and petition were finally prepared, and it was already midnight. Although midnight is the most yin hour, it is suitable for summoning the souls of the dead.

But Lu Pan is also considered a Yin god on earth, so the good time is after the You hour and dusk.

Chen Ji read the memorial, respectfully read out Lu Pan's name, and said that he had something to explain and would wait for a response.

Soon, black gas rose from the ground, revealing the figure of Lu Pan.

I feel helpless as soon as I open my mouth.

"Friend Chen, I've already given you my badge, so why are you coming to me so formally?"

"I have something serious to discuss with you, so I dare not be informal."

"Oh? What's that?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Pan asked seriously.

"There's a plague ghost haunting the town."

"Plague ghost?"

Lu Pan's hair and beard trembled, and his expression became more serious.

"Please tell me in detail."

Chen Ji then told everyone everything he had seen and heard since he came down the mountain, even explaining the incident of the academy detaining the plague ghost.

"You two are truly great!"

Lu Pan bowed and thanked him before speaking slowly.

"This place is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Lu. If this plague ghost really gets its way, I'm afraid it will be another catastrophe."

After saying that, he asked where the plague ghost was.

Chen Ji then took out a thatched figurine and handed it over.

"I don't know if it was raised by an evil cultivator or how it came to be. I'd like to ask Lu Pan to take a closer look."

"Okay, come out!"

Lu Pan waved his hand to remove the restrictions left by Miss Bai.

The plague ghost reappeared before his eyes.

The thick and insoluble smell of plague gushed out, and the plague ghost gritted its teeth and wanted to attack Chen Ji again.

Unfortunately, Lu Pan blocked all the means with just one finger.

The plague ghost was hung with iron chains all over his body, which made clanging sounds and he could not move. Even the gray-black energy was locked in his body and he could not use it.

"Good magic!"

Chen Ji looked on with envy.

This trick for dealing with evil spirits is actually much more powerful than controlling fire and capturing souls.

"The Ghost Locking Technique is something that all the Yin Messengers can do. I'm just more familiar with it. Unfortunately, it's a ghost technique, so I can't teach you."

"If you want to learn, you can only do so after you become a colleague."

Are you going to die too?

Chen Ji felt that he was not so envious anymore.

Moreover, Lu Pan was obviously much more modest. He was probably more familiar with the world than ordinary ghost messengers.

"After all, there are many inconveniences in the human world. I will take this ghost back to the underworld first, and wait for a moment."

Lu Pan grabbed the iron chain and returned underground. In less than half an incense stick of time, he returned with a much more relaxed look on his face.

"how?"

"We've confirmed that it's indeed the shadow of the plague ghost under the Plague God's seat, and someone is indeed raising it. We need to inquire more about the details, but I'll leave it to the Lord of the Mansion to worry about."

Lu Pan breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the past, we always dealt with the little ghosts. Now that we have finally encountered a difficult big ghost, it is his turn to deal with it."

"President Lu is really free and easy."

Chen Ji smiled and shook his head.

I think the atmosphere in the underworld is pretty good. It would be nice if I were lucky enough to become a colleague in the future.

"I won't be idle for a few days. With the plague ghost appearing, I'm afraid the other demons and evil spirits will also be restless. I'm afraid we'll be busy from now on."

Chen Ji didn't know how to respond.

The only thing that can keep the underworld busy is probably the large-scale death of people in the human world.

At this moment, even if I sigh that it is fate and this is how it is, I still feel extremely heavy.

After these eight words, there may be countless corpses scattered all over the ground, it is a terrible tragedy.

"Never mind, I can't talk about this matter. But I owe you something, and I finally brought it here today."

Lu Pan waved his hand and took out a jade gourd from his arms and handed it to Chen Ji.

"Three Yuanhun Pills."

"The pills made with Naihe River water mixed with the essence of Jiuquan are beneficial for cultivation."

"Thank you, Lu Pan!"

Chen Ji didn't know whether the elixir was good or not, but he thought it was good when he heard that it was beneficial for spiritual practice.

However, Miss Bai's eyes flickered, and she was quite emotional.

Lu Pan looked at Chen Ji again.

"I've found the squirrel demon ghost I mentioned last time. I've also asked about the cultivation method. I'm currently sorting it out. Once it's ready, I'll have the ghost messenger deliver it directly to you."

"So fast? Thank you so much for troubling you, Pan Lu!"

Chen Ji himself didn't expect this matter to be so convenient.

I thought there would be other twists and turns.

"It's just a record of a demon cultivator, what could be wrong with it? If there's nothing else, Lu will go back."

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Ji hurriedly called Lu Pan and took out the jade gourd given by the mountain god.

"President Lu invited me to drink moon wine, and I will return the favor to Pan Lu with earth wine."

"Earth Spirit Liquor?"

Doubt appeared in Lu Pan's eyes.

Chen Ji then gave a detailed introduction to the mountain god regulating the earth's veins to brew wine.

After hearing that one could sense the earth's veins and strengthen the body, and that the alcohol was powerful, Lu Pan couldn't help but be tempted and poured out half a cup to taste it.

After a while, his hair and beard fluttered in the wind, and he shouted "good wine".

But he shook his head with regret.

"Without a human body, I can't feel the full impact of this wine. If this is the case with fine wine, I'll die early."

"I wonder what this mountain god's cultivation level is. Is there any possibility... that he could be my colleague?"

"puff……"

Even though Chen Ji already knew Lu Pan's temperament, he couldn't hold it back after hearing this.

Everyone around Lu Pan is good, except that he likes to recruit people to be his colleagues!

However, I still explained the situation of the mountain god truthfully.

"The mountains are used to cultivate spiritual wisdom? Then there is no hope."

Lu Pan sighed.

"If nothing unexpected happens, a mountain monster like this could live for ten thousand years. Back then, Tai..."

"So many of the monsters I've seen are dead. Only the mountain monster is still alive. He's lucky."

Chen Ji heard that this was not what Lu Pan meant, but he did not dare to ask more.

Things that even Lu Pan doesn't dare to say are either secrets or heavenly secrets. There is no benefit in knowing them.

So they respectfully sent Lu Pan back to the underworld.

He took back the pills and prepared to tidy up the altar, but heard Miss Bai sighing behind him.

"I knew you were lucky, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky. I'm so envious!"

Chen Ji was confused and asked for advice carefully.

Then Miss Bai explained to him.

"The Yuanhun Pill is a famous medicine in the underworld. It has great benefits for the soul. If the soul is injured, as long as it is not destroyed on the spot, it can be saved."

"A normal practitioner taking one can also condense their soul and spirit, making them immune to ordinary illusion and soul attacks."

Only then did Chen Ji realize the value of the elixir and felt grateful for Lu Pan's effort.

With a thought, he calmed down and looked into his mind.

As expected, a new chapter has been added to the Strange Stories.

"Plague Ghost"

"Mr. Chen, also known as Mr. Fox, was a virtuous man who lived in the town. One day, he was returning home with a fox. He heard that a plague ghost was causing trouble and the townspeople were seeking help. He went to the academy to investigate. At night, the plague ghost arrived and tried to harm people. Chen and the fox captured the ghost. The sage was pleased with Chen and gave him a gift of talent, allowing him to be published."

Chen Ji turned over a new leaf.

After understanding the function of the art of Dengchao, he realized that the talent was not given to him by the saint to suppress the plague ghost.

But because he saw that he was taking the trouble to teach the fox, he thought it was in accordance with the will of the saint, so he helped him.

Then he came to his senses, looked towards the academy and bowed, with a lot of feelings in his heart.
