Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 94 Two Jars of Wine

"The Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple sent a message via bluebird, saying that an honored guest will be arriving, and asked Taoist priest Xiyun to go back and prepare quickly."

"I just happened to have a sudden inspiration and thought that something must be happening on the mountain, so we came back to take a look."

"What a coincidence."

Chen Ji looked at them with a smile and was about to tell them about the changes that had taken place on the mountain in the past few days.

I noticed that their eyes had lit up.

"Senior Huai! Have you transformed?"

Chen Ji turned around and found that Senior Weng Huai in straw raincoat was walking towards him from a distance, and each step he took was several feet away.

He looked at Miss Bai and the foxes with a smile.

"By chance, I got some help from Mr. Chen."

Senior Huai did not hide anything and told the truth about Chen Ji's lecture and how most of the foxes on the mountain had sudden enlightenment. He also said that he had a feeling in his heart and set out to transform.

The four foxes at the foot of the mountain listened in astonishment, their beaks wide open.

"Teacher, you're really biased! You give lectures on the mountain and they all have sudden enlightenments. Why don't you have the same intentions down there?"

Before Chen Ji could speak, Bai Qi and the others took the initiative to join in.

"You've all been hogging the teacher's time for so long. Now that he's finally back on the mountain to give a lecture, isn't that enough?"

"Besides, you've all transformed and mastered the techniques, so we're just getting started."

“You have a problem!”

"It's obviously you who have the problem!"

"It's you!"

"you!"

……

The little foxes haven't seen each other for some time, and their seemingly childish quarrels are actually a sign of their very good relationship.

After a few words, they made eye contact and started playing together and walked away.

Miss Bai then looked at Chen Ji with a half-smile and asked him what kind of adventure he had had in the past few days in the mountains that could make so many foxes have sudden enlightenment.

"I've seen the changes in them, and it's not something that can be explained simply by teaching them well."

"I just happened to learn how to use the art of establishing words from Mr. Su, so I used it with the help of my sage talent."

"The talent of a saint? No wonder!"

Miss Bai was no longer surprised when she heard this.

She was also present when the saint bestowed talent. She knew that the saint liked Chen Ji, but she was still a little curious.

"If you're not a Confucian cultivator, can you use the art of establishing words?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because Mr. Su taught me well. I learned it just by listening."

Chen Ji smiled slightly and looked at Mr. Su.

Miss Bai also looked over with her peach blossom fox eyes, and when she saw Mr. Su's expression, she suddenly understood.

"I was wondering why the gentleman looked different today than usual. It turns out he had a great opportunity."

"It seems I'm late."

As he spoke, he also took out a piece of Peach Fairy ghost body.

Mr. Su's expression froze and he bowed solemnly.

"Thank you Miss Bai for remembering me, but I already have this piece given by Mr. Chen, so I dare not ask for more."

The white girl smiled and shook her head.

"Sir, there's no need to refuse. You've taught Fox for many years, relying on Senior Huai to gather Yin and prevent it from disintegrating. Although Fox has also found some treasures to help you maintain your soul, it's far less than what you've given."

"Although this piece of Peach Fairy Ghost Body is precious, it is not very useful to a fox. It is better to help you cultivate."

"If you achieve success in your cultivation in the future, please look after our clan."

"Miss Bai, what you said really embarrasses me."

Mr. Su waved his hands hurriedly.

"Even if I become a ghost immortal, I am still their teacher. Why ask for a name? I should take care of them."

"Besides, now that Mr. Chen is here, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to take care of him. Maybe in the future, he will have to rely entirely on this little bit of incense."

"Mercy, mercy!"

"I've heard that the monsters in Xiantai Mountain get along well with each other, but I didn't expect it to be so harmonious. It's much better than our Taoist temple."

"There aren't many places like this in this world. It's really a great place for cultivation."

Amidst the casual conversation, Taoist Xiyun's voice was heard, with a look of envy on his face.

"No wonder there are practitioners like Mr. Chen and Senior Fox. Fellow Daoist Fox is truly extraordinary."

Then he looked at Senior Huai and bowed.

"This must be Senior Huai, right? I've heard of your great name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to have transformed. Congratulations."

He said and thought about it.

"I don't have any other gifts, so I'll give you a bottle of spiritual wine. It was brewed by Master using spiritual herbs and rice. It tastes good and can also improve your cultivation."

"The old Taoist priest can also make wine?"

Before Senior Huai could speak, Mr. Su snorted coldly.

"Why did you say no when I asked?"

Taoist Xiyun smiled and bowed.

"Senior Su has misunderstood me. I really didn't know how to make wine back then. It's only because you left that I wanted to learn how to make wine."

"It took a lot of effort to learn how to brew wine that ghosts can drink. In order for Senior Su to drink it, Master even found a lot of ghosts at the foot of the mountain to taste it. Unfortunately, Senior Su never came back..."

"There's still a jar sealed in the mountains waiting for Senior Su to taste it." "That's reasonable. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow to taste it and see if the old master's cooking skills have declined."

Mr. Su was still stubborn, but he felt warm in his heart and asked Taoist Xiyun to sit down.

"When an old friend comes here, I can't fail to express my gratitude, otherwise when I see the old Taoist tomorrow, he will accuse me of being stingy. Please let me go and come back."

Mr. Su sank into the ground and disappeared.

At this time, Chen Ji was somewhat envious of the ghost's characteristics.

Born close to the underworld, even without any magic, one can still possess abilities similar to escape techniques.

But he knew that he couldn't say this to Mr. Su.

Otherwise he would definitely say something.

Are you envious? It's exchanged for life.

Just as he said to Yan Chixia that day.

After the thought came to his mind, Chen Ji became curious about what Yan Chixia was doing now and how his swordsmanship was going.

It's been almost a month since we last met, so this trip up the mountain is a good opportunity to go and see him.

Just thinking about it.

Mr. Su has returned.

I don't know how he brought out a jar of wine, which was placed on the ground along with his body.

"This is the Flowing Light Wine I asked another demon to buy for me. I originally bought two jars, intending to bring them to your master to drink with. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to do so."

"Everyone is here tonight, so drink one jar first. Then go find your master tomorrow and drink another."

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Senior Su."

Taoist Master Xiyun bowed and said "mercy", then sat down cross-legged.

Miss Bai called out and the little fox went to bring fruits and dried meat, and then they sat and talked until dawn.

Humans, demons, ghosts, and foxes are all so happy.

Wait until the first ray of dawn falls in the morning.

The mountain breeze blew, and the front of Qingfeng Temple was already full of Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest in charge of reception looked at the white-bearded old Taoist priest beside him and saluted respectfully.

"Grandmaster, why are you waiting here before daybreak?"

"The last time the town supervisor came to invite you down the mountain to exorcise demons, there wasn't even this much fanfare."

"The governor certainly doesn't deserve this kind of pomp and ceremony."

The old Taoist smiled slightly.

"Besides, they came to ask us to exorcise the demon, so they should be the ones to be polite."

"Is it that a distinguished guest is coming to burn incense? I heard from Taoist priests in other temples that when wealthy families come to burn incense and perform rituals, they spend hundreds of taels of silver each time."

There was a hint of envy in the young Taoist's words.

The old Taoist still shook his head.

"He is a distinguished guest, but he is not here to burn incense."

"What is that for?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the young Taoist priest behind him with a smile.

"I have invited some fellow Taoists to discuss the Dharma with you."

"On the law?"

The young Taoist priests curled their lips and lost interest.

But the next second, when he heard the old Taoist's words, he pricked up his ears and looked in surprise.

"This time, my fellow Taoist is a fox."

"A fox can also discuss the Dao?"

The young Taoist priests opened their eyes wide, unable to believe it.

The old Taoist smiled slightly and did not explain. He just looked up into the air and spoke slowly.

"Look, they're coming!"

The young Taoist priests looked up.

A talisman ship slowly descended from the sky, and sure enough, there were many foxes sticking their heads out.

When the talisman boat landed, he saw that the person controlling the talisman boat was Taoist Xiyun, and he hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

"Hello, Master!"

When he saw Chen Ji again, he remembered this Taoist friend who could spit fire and bowed to him again.

"Chen Daoyou is friendly."

Then he looked at the fox ghost following behind them, but didn't know how to greet it.

It was Bai Shijiu who watched the young Taoist priests stand up and bow first.

"Hello fellow Taoists."

The other foxes finally reacted and hurriedly followed suit, clasping their paws in salute.

"It really is a fox?"

Only then did the young Taoists believe that what the old master said was true.

But he just stood there in a daze.

How can they discuss the Dao with the fox?
