Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 88: Civil Engineering Four Fox Group

To Chen Ji, this was nothing.

These Peach Fairy ghost bodies are just the fragments left over from when they were chopped into several pieces earlier.

Thinking that Taoist Xiyun wanted to keep even the lightning-struck wood, and this was the better piece of broken wood from the Peach Fairy ghost body, he kept it all together.

I wanted to offer tea as a sacrifice just now, but I felt it was not solemn enough, so I added these broken wood pieces.

I also heard it when I was chatting with Lu Pan about the customs of the underworld.

Sacrifices offered in the human world can indeed be sent to the underworld.

However, depending on the sincerity and the value of the sacrifice, the underworld will also take a portion, which is considered as underworld tax.

If the value of the sacrifice is low, the underworld will not treat the recipient badly, but if the value of the sacrifice is high, then there will definitely be special treatment.

So Chen Ji gave it a try.

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice his or her entire life to eliminate demons is worthy of these Peach Fairy ghost bodies.

While thinking about things, he had already returned with the wind.

The traces on the mountain vaguely appeared before my eyes, and a small path had already taken shape.

After ten days, although the road was not too long, it was still nearly half a mile long.

At the edge of the stairs, several figures were busy working.

In addition to Bai Qi and Bai Ba, there were other foxes helping.

Chen Ji slowly stepped down and looked at them.

"gentlemen?"

"It's the master who's back!"

"Really sir?"

The foxes were a little stunned at first, but when the man in the wind landed on the ground and walked slowly towards them, they opened their eyes and looked over from afar, opening their beaks in surprise.

"It's me, I'm back."

Bai Qi stood up from the stone and was about to rush over, but then he stopped, brushed off the loose dirt and grass roots on his body, and then ran to Chen Ji and bowed.

"Sir, didn't you go down the mountain to teach Bai San and the others magic? Why are you back?"

"They have almost finished their studies, and just happened to have something to do, so they came to see you."

After the words were spoken, the little foxes widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Sir, are you saying that they have learned magic? And the art of shapeshifting?"

“I haven’t learned it completely yet, but it’s almost there.”

Chen Ji nodded and told them about the progress of the four foxes down the mountain.

"Bai Si actually learned the art of attracting lightning?"

"And Nineteen, will he transform too?"

"Bai Shi has actually figured out the secrets of weapon refining?"

"hiss!"

Several foxes gasped and looked at Chen Ji with resentful eyes.

"Sir, you are so partial!"

"You secretly took classes with them at the foot of the mountain, but you never thought that we were still there on the mountain, right?"

"We thought we were just going down the mountain to do some ordinary herbal remedy work, but we didn't expect it to improve our cultivation so quickly!"

Chen Ji was speechless.

I didn't expect that a fox would be jealous. I should explain it clearly.

Then he picked out the important things and explained them to them, even explaining the reasons for the progress of their magic and transformation.

"Besides, I returned to the mountain to continue teaching you."

"There's only three months left before the Fox School exam. They've done a good job with their coursework, so you guys need to hurry up too."

"It turns out that the master has not forgotten us!"

The foxes were overjoyed to hear this, and were so excited that they barked and raised their paws to express their gratitude.

Only after the foxes were happy did Chen Ji continue speaking.

"Didn't we ask Bai Qi and Bai Ba to repair the road? Why are you here to help?"

He recognized the foxes who were building the road together.

Bai Twenty-three raised his head.

"Bai Qi said that I learned the Great Strength Method and can help place the steps, which will speed up the process a lot."

"It just so happened that I had nothing else to do, so I came here to practice my magic. It really worked, and it seems to be much better than my usual spellcasting."

Bai Shiliu had half of his body buried in the rock, leaving only his furry head exposed.

"I practice the art of stone penetration. I can practice wherever I am. So I came over to help them find the cracks in the stone so that Bai Qi can open it."

"That's right."

Chen Ji nodded, thinking that it was an excellent combination.

White 16 exploration, White 23 loading and unloading, White 7 processing, White 8 logistics...

It does conform to standard procedures for civil engineering operations.

It would be a waste to use it for road construction.

It's a pity that civil engineering is considered government labor these days and is not used by ordinary people. Otherwise, if they learn the art of shapeshifting, they could be useful.

The thought flashed through his mind and Chen Ji shook his head.

It’s better to get down to business first, so he looked to the side and bowed respectfully.

"Senior Huai, if you can hear me, please tell the little foxes to come back to class."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, take your time. I'll go find the fox right away."

A sound came from underground in the distance.

In Chen Ji's eyes, there was indeed a big tree root shaking, as if responding to Chen Ji's salute.

"let's go."

Chen Ji then invited Bai Qi and the others to go back together.

"Sir, wait a moment."

Bai Qi stopped.

"Please, sir, take a look at the progress of our road construction using magic."

"Alright."

Chen Ji thought about the scene he had seen ten days ago, which still required his guidance. Looking at it again now, perhaps there would be changes.

Bai Qi waved his hand and called the other foxes to go forward and walk towards the stone-collecting site in the distance.

It was supposed to be a stone wall originally, but due to the impact of the stones they took while building the road, it has become bumpy and has a unique beauty.

"I'll go take a look first, please give me some advice, sir!"

Bai Shiliu walked to the edge of the stone wall, took a look at it, and then stepped in while holding the magic spell.

It was obviously a hard stone, but in front of Bai Shiliu, it was like air, without any obstruction or ripples, and he walked into the stone very naturally.

It's tea time.

A fox head popped out from the stone wall. It was Bai Shiliu. After seeing that the height was right, he stepped out again, but he had already turned around, as if he had turned around in the stone.

There was not a single stone fragment on his body. After shaking himself off, he spoke slowly.

"Two feet deep, six feet up, and a foot and a half down. There's a big crack there, so you can take some rocks."

Bai Qi nodded and pointed to perform the wall-opening technique.

All I could hear was a crisp, crackling sound coming from the rock wall, like a jade chain breaking. Before I could even think about it, a huge rock slowly slid down the mountain wall and lay flat on the ground.

"Sir, it's my turn!"

Bai Ba shouted and jumped forward, opening his mouth wide and actually swallowing the entire stone wall.

But the appearance finally changed a little.

The fox changed from a slender one to a round one like a balloon, with even its mouth protruding as if it was holding something.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Bai Ba mumbled and shouted incoherently.

Before Chen Ji could react, Bai Qi understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly to make way.

Then I saw Bai Ba simply curl up his limbs and bury his head into his body, just like a real ball.

Bai Qi hurried forward and pushed Bai Ba.

A fiery red ball of fur rolled forward. When it reached the place, Bai Qi pulled Bai Ba's tail, and Bai Ba opened his mouth.

"vomit!"

The huge rock fell to the ground.

Chen Ji opened his eyes wide, feeling that this method was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Sir, we are going over there, please come with us."

"it is good."

Chen Ji was not in a hurry to ask Bai Ba how he transported the big stone like this. He would explain it later anyway, so he just watched the techniques of Bai Qi and Bai Twenty-three first.

Bai Qi walked forward and stood beside the stone, raised his paw to look at the surface of the stone, and waved gently.

A crack appeared in the stone, and then Bai Qi stepped forward and kicked hard on the side, successfully creating a standard stepping stone.

Then he looked towards the steps at the bottom of the road.

"The pits we dug earlier are still there, so we won't dig any more this time."

"Twenty-three, it's your turn!"

The other foxes looked at Bai Twenty-three.

"Got it, here I come!"

Bai Ershisan stood up from the ground, sat down cross-legged, hugged the fox claw and chanted a spell in a low voice.

A moment later, a ray of light flashed across Bai Ershisan's body.

He stood up straight like everyone else.

He raised his paw, placed it on the stone, exerted a little force, and actually dragged the stone towards the dug pit.

In front of the pit.

Bai Ershisan used both claws to lift the steps at the same time, then he aimed at the right spot and threw them in.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, a new section of the road down the mountain appeared.

"All right."

Bai Ershisan clapped his hands and waited for Bai Qi to use his magic to cut the boulder into the appropriate size and drag it back into the pit.

Even the remaining gravel was not spared and was scattered along both sides of the steps.

After doing this, his body trembled and returned to its previous state. He took a breath and stuck out his tongue.

"That was a close call. I only lost my strength after releasing all the stones. Otherwise, you would have been watching the fox die!"

Chen Ji shook his head, feeling that Bai Ershisan was indeed as cunning as a fox.

It was clearly his own magic that dissipated, but he pretended that he couldn't hold on. If he were to really fight with someone, he could deceive the other party.

But for the fox, it's probably useless.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ji knew he was wrong.

Bai Ba took out a roast chicken from his mouth reluctantly, swallowed his saliva and sighed.

"It's good to practice magic, but you can't eat roast chicken. This is the last one."

As he said this, he generously shared the chicken legs and butt.

"Come on, come on, Twenty-three, you've worked hard. These are for you to eat and restore your strength!"

Then he held up another big chicken drumstick and asked Chen Ji.

"Sir, would you like some chicken legs?"

"I'm not hungry yet."

Chen Ji touched his stomach and found that the mutton offal soup had not been completely digested, so he was indeed not hungry.

"Then let's eat first. Casting magic is really tiring!"

Bai Ba shouted and shared the remaining half of the chicken with Bai Qi and the others.

Several foxes, without any distinction between each other, bit into the chicken and exclaimed that it was indeed delicious.

Only then did Chen Ji understand why Bai Ershisan pretended to be exhausted.

It’s really nice to get an extra chicken butt.

Chen Ji didn't think this was taking advantage.

Compared to the other foxes, Bai Ershisan's magic that affects the body is indeed more tiring.

He only ate a chicken leg and a chicken butt, and didn't touch the rest.

It is indeed a smart fox.

Bai Qi was eating with his mouth full of oil, and couldn't help asking Chen Ji and the others how their magic and road-building skills were performing.

The other foxes slowed down their movements and were also concerned about Chen Ji's evaluation.

"It's really good. The mountain range is well-shaped, the transportation is well-made, the wall opening is well-made, and the placement is also very good."

"I'm just a little curious, why did Bai Ba roll over?"

"Hmm... this is..."

Bai Bayi swallowed the roast chicken in his mouth in one gulp, and then talked about the key point with Chen Ji.

"This stone is too big. After I swallowed it, I couldn't move on my own and had to be pushed by someone."

"I feel like I still can't eat something this big."

"Then why do you still want to eat it?"

"Thinking about what you said before, I realized that practice is the key."

"Seeing that Bai Qi and the others have improved their skills, I wanted to try practicing. It really works. I couldn't swallow it at all before, but now I can move it. Once I become more proficient, I should be able to move it freely."

"As long as it works."

The fox had finished eating the roast chicken.

Chen Ji looked at the time and asked them to go back to class together.

After a while.

The foxes have gathered in the library.

Chen Ji looked at the fox and nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone's cultivation and Taoism have improved.

Although they are a little worse than the foxes at the foot of the mountain, it is not their problem, but because the teacher did not give the lecture.

But after today, I should be able to make up for it.

Chen Ji silently used the climbing technique, just like that day, and spoke slowly.
