Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 66: A Little Help (Please Read)

After writing down what I would ask Mr. Su about when I returned to the mountain.

The front yard wasn't too busy.

Chen Ji then asked the foxes to come over to give lectures, intending to test the effectiveness of the climbing technique.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you going to preach to the fox? I wonder if I can watch."

Taoist Xiyun stroked his beard with a smile, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"I have no problem, it depends on Miss Bai..."

Chen Ji looked at the smiling figure beside him.

"Of course, I can. It's a good opportunity for you to ask Taoist Xiyun to take a look at Fox's studies. If there are any problems, they can be corrected in time."

"With Senior Fox watching over me, there won't be any problems. I want to learn from Chen Daoyou how to preach, so I can talk to those useless disciples when I go back."

"You are too kind, Taoist priest."

Chen Ji waved his hand and looked at Bai San and the others again.

Although the class location changed, Fox's interest did not diminish.

They became even more excited to see people watching, and sat down in rows to ask what Chen Ji was going to talk about.

"Let's talk about transformation."

After Chen Ji finished speaking, several foxes showed puzzled expressions.

"Sir, you can't transform, but can you still talk about transformation?"

"I haven't understood what Miss Bai said yesterday. I wonder what you are going to say?"

"Perhaps he wants to analyze people with us? If we understand their thoughts, we should be able to grasp them more quickly."

The foxes discussed.

Chen Ji's mind flickered, and he continued to talk about people's thoughts based on what Miss Bai had said yesterday.

"Foxes have purer emotions. They don't seem to have any other emotions besides joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

"It's good when practicing, but it's weak when it comes to understanding people's hearts."

As Chen Ji spoke, he was still thinking about how to use the copy.

But suddenly a flash of inspiration came to me.

Looking at the four foxes in front of him, he actually had the idea that as long as he spoke, they would understand.

So I began to tell the story tentatively.

“If you want to transform people, you must understand their emotions.”

"Emotions, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, greed, anger, ignorance, and arrogance... even the relationships between people are difficult for a fox to understand."

"For example, the businessman Bai Shijiu saw yesterday despised the poor and loved the rich, and Fox should not have that either."

"Indeed not."

Bai Shijiu nodded seriously.

"Sir, why are people like this? If you can't make a business, why not just give up? Why do you look down on poor people?"

"If he doesn't make money, he can't survive."

"There are wild fruits in the mountains, and you can hunt, and water is free. How can you not survive?"

"Because humans want different things from foxes..."

Chen Ji said slowly.

As for the deeper differences in worldly situations, it is difficult to explain them to Xiaohu.

If your knowledge is not enough, you cannot understand such profound content. It is enough to understand these and learn the transformation.

But I can give an example.

"If you were to continue living like those ignorant foxes, would you be willing?"

Bai Shijiu shook his head and then nodded.

"I think I understand, sir."

She practiced the Dream Marrying Technique and had considerable talent, so it was not surprising that Chen Ji could understand all this.

Bai San and the others hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"I seem to understand a little bit."

"Ji, Mr. Chen's explanation is obviously more difficult than Miss Bai's, but I actually understood it."

"It turns out that to transform, you need to understand people's emotions first. No wonder it's so difficult for foxes to transform."

"Sure enough, what the master said is true. It is easier to understand the transformation after going down the mountain."

The foxes were sad.

Bai Shijiu even moved his eyes slightly, took off the illusion talisman, and restored his fox form.

Then he frowned hard as if thinking about something, squeezed his body hard, and slowly got up from the ground.

He turned into a peddler with a fox head and a human body.

A pair of red eyes looked at Chen Ji with a sharp tone.

"Sir, you are also a scholar, how can you buy something without paying?"

"Done?"

Bai Sandeng Fox opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Obviously, Bai Shijiu's transformation was still in the bottom grade yesterday, but with this level of strength, he would be rated as upper-middle even if he entered the Fox School.

In just one night, he almost crossed three major levels.

How did the gap between foxes become so big?

No! It wasn’t overnight. I suddenly had an epiphany after listening to Mr. Chen’s lectures.

They all looked at Chen Ji.

"How can you hide your secrets, sir? Why haven't we realized how to transform?"

"I don't know that."

Chen Ji shook his head.

"Maybe you haven't seen enough people. Do you need to go check on more people?"

"Is that so?"

"Then we will carefully observe the person tomorrow and strive to transform as soon as possible!"

Several foxes swore solemnly.

Miss Bai looked at Chen Ji thoughtfully, but did not speak in a hurry.

Taoist Xiyun frowned.

In his eyes, what Chen Ji said was not profound, and was even very simple.

But unexpectedly, the fox actually understood and successfully transformed.

This cannot be explained by simple intelligence.

After all, shapeshifting is a profound art. He usually talks to the young Taoist priest about even breathing techniques for a long time. If they knew that foxes could learn shapeshifting so quickly...

Taoist Xiyun shook his head and dared not think about it!

"Does Taoist Master Xiyun have any advice?"

Chen Ji noticed the movement and asked slowly.

Taoist Xiyun shook his head repeatedly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I really don't know what to say..."

"Being able to help the fox understand the key to transformation in such a short time, you truly deserve the name Mr. Fox."

"If there's a chance someday, I'd like to ask you to give a lecture to the young Taoists at Qingfeng Temple."

"It would be best to bring these fellow foxes with us, so they know that there are always people better than you, and there are foxes too."

"Naturally."

Before Chen Ji could answer, Miss Bai nodded in agreement.

"It's not good for the little foxes to practice in seclusion."

"It would be great if we could get the foxes to discuss Taoism with the young Taoist friends from Qingfeng Temple. We should wait until they can transform into human form before going, so as not to scare the Taoist friends' disciples."

Taoist Xiyun shook his head and laughed again.

"Ever since they learned about Fellow Daoist Chen's situation, they've been wanting to go see the little fox cultivating Taoism. They shouldn't be afraid."

"That's good."

Chen Ji was listening from the side and found it interesting.

The scene where the little fox talks to the little Taoist priest about Taoism is really interesting.

But what is more interesting now is the art of copying.

He said this only to give them a better understanding of the image of man.

Chen Ji did not expect that Bai Shijiu could complete the transformation.

From nothing to something, it is in line with the meaning of enlightenment in the art of copying.

I just don’t know if it’s because each round of preaching can only enlighten one fox once, or if the other foxes are indeed less intelligent.

You'll have to try it again later to find out.

Well now.

After Chen Ji finished his lecture, he had other things to do, so he arranged for Bai Shijiu to talk to them about the key to transformation.

They all started from not being able to transform to transforming. I'm afraid what Bai Shijiu said is easier to understand than what Bai Girl said.

"Understood, sir."

Bai Shijiu stood up and shared with Bai San and the others.

Miss Bai watched the little fox start to study, and then called Chen Ji and Taoist Xiyun to go out.

"It just so happens that you are here, and I would like to ask you for a little help with something."

"Oh? I wonder what could possibly be causing Senior Fox to find it so difficult that he wants to come to me?"

Taoist Xiyun looked at it carefully.

"I would like to ask the old abbot to submit a petition to the Five Mountains Emperor in a few years to confer the title of the Mountain God of Xiantai Mountain."

Taoist Xiyun paused, as if he didn't hear clearly.

Say something merciful.

"I'm really old now. I misheard Miss Bai's story and appointed her as the Mountain God. This is too..."

"You didn't hear wrongly, fellow Daoist. This is indeed the case."

Miss Bai said seriously.

The courtyard became quiet and even breathing could be heard clearly.

Chen Ji shook his head, not understanding why Miss Bai wanted to talk about this now.

Matters should be done in secret, but will be ruined if they are revealed.

What's more, it is too hasty to consider the issue of the official document when the mountain temple has not even been built.

After a while, Taoist Xiyun slowly spoke.

"Is that so... May I ask why?"

Miss Bai then told the story of Chen Ji planning to become the god of the mountain.

Taoist Xiyun looked at Chen Ji in amazement.

"I thought you were just Mr. Fox before, but I never thought you would actually do something like this. You're really not simple."

Chen Ji felt a little embarrassed.

This behavior might seem rebellious to the Taoist priest. If he doesn't agree, he can only find someone else...

"Why don't you agree?"

Taoist Xiyun had a smile in his eyes.

"The opportunity to be crowned a true god might not come once in thousands of years."

"The method proposed by Daoist Chen is indeed possible. I think Master will not refuse."

"If you're ready, just tell us."

"It's just a petition, it won't have any impact on us. If it succeeds, it will be a good thing."

"If you want to repair the temple statues, there are fellow apprentices in the temple who have learned it and can come and help."

Chen Ji stood there in a daze, not expecting Qingfeng Temple to be so supportive of this matter, and he felt some strange emotions.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to ask why this temple agreed to this matter when it clearly offers sacrifices to the gods?"

"really."

Taoist Xiyun laughed heartily.

“How many people in this world can truly catch a deer? They don’t realize they dream of being a fish all day long.”

"Our lineage of cultivation emphasizes following fate. If this really works, it means that the mountain god's destiny lies with us."

"If it doesn't work... there's no such thing as guaranteed success in cultivation, so it's normal."

Chen Ji was stunned.

I didn't expect that Taoist Xiyun would be as free and easy as a demon.

He was just too suspicious before.

But it’s better this way. At least I can start doing what I promised to the mountain god.

Chen Ji also looked forward to what the day would be like when he was finally canonized.

Even if it doesn't work, it should still be interesting, right?
