Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 70 Long Live the Fox King, Six Years

When Niu Yi returned to his hut, he opened the golden box and looked at the gold paper inside and was speechless again.

This is Brother Jinfu.
Niu Yi shook his head, took out the gold paper, unfolded it, and read the words on it word by word.

------

Dear brother Niu Yi.

I wonder how you're doing, brother? I'm worried about you. Over the years, I've traded extensively, making countless friends thanks to my fair dealings, but it was only when I met you that I felt a real affinity.

Recently, I was attending a banquet to celebrate the birthday of the Wansui Fox King in Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain. I also made a deal with the old Fox King and gave him some treasures that could increase his longevity.

Thinking of this long-lived Fox King, who was extremely wealthy and powerful, and became famous thousands of years ago, but now he only has a few hundred years left to live, it really makes the old brother sigh.

Back then, when I was just born, he was already a famous demon king. However, no matter how rich he was or how powerful he was, if he had not attained the great Dao, he would never be able to transcend and would eventually die.

Treasures are easy to obtain, but the right path is hard to find. I should share this advice with my dear brothers.

------

Niu Yi looked at the gold paper in front of him for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he put the gold paper back into the gold box and kept it carefully.

If I remember correctly, this Wanshou Fox King was the father of the Jade-faced Fox. When Tang Monk and his party passed by the Flaming Mountain on their journey west, this Wanshou Fox King had already died.

If one does not attain the Great Dao, will his life eventually end?
Niu Yi turned around and returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and entered a spiritual state of mind.

Niu Yi went straight to the central hall, lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully towards the ancestral tablet, inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner, and then walked out, ready to start today's lessons.

On Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Guangwu stood behind Taoist Guanghui, looking at Jiuling Yuansheng who was leaving with Tianzun Lion Slave, his eyes full of reluctance.

During this period of time, he got along very well with Senior Jiuling Yuansheng, who had a slightly lazy personality. For a while, he was really reluctant to see this senior leave.

But just as the senior Jiuling Yuansheng said, all good things must come to an end, and this day will always come.

Taoist Guanghui patted Guangwu on the shoulder to comfort him. At the same time, the voice of Taoist Guanghui sounded in Guangwu's mind, which made Guangwu's eyes light up.

"The lion's share of the meal is yours today."

Years pass by, time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shangtang Village, in the Liu family.

"Mom! I'm going out to play!"

A small figure, only about one meter tall, ran out of the Liu family's gate quickly, ignoring the adults chasing after him!

"Hey!! You kid! It's almost lunchtime! And you're still out playing!"

Bai Guiqin ran out with a spatula in one hand and a baby who looked only two months old in the other, but she could only see Liu Dongchen running away quickly.

"This brat!"

Bai Guiqin shook her head helplessly and quickly ran back to the kitchen.

The food in her pot is still cooking!
Liu Dongchen left the house and quickly left the village, running excitedly in the fields.

The child was thin and wore a slightly short cloth shirt. Even though he was only six years old, his cute face looked quite handsome.

The copper longevity lock on his neck kept swinging as he ran.

Shangtang Village has been settled here for six years, and everything has been put on track. At this time, the villagers are working in the fields. Every time Liu Dongchen passes by one of them, he will stop and greet loudly, and then run again!
"Hello, Uncle Li!"

"Okay, okay! What are you going to do, kid?"

"Let's go fishing in the creek!" "Hello, Uncle Wu!"

"Good good."

Wu Tie, who was plowing the land, responded subconsciously, then looked at Liu Dongchen who was running away and shouted:

"Hey! Xiaochen! Don't run out of the rope! Otherwise, be careful that your dad will come back and your butt will be beaten to a pulp!"

The fields are empty and only shouting can make the voices heard.

"Got it! Uncle Wu Tie!"

Hearing Liu Dongchen's response from a distance, Wu Tie shook his head helplessly.

How could that cute baby back then turn into such a naughty little monkey? Every day he either climbs up trees to steal bird eggs or goes down to the river to catch fish, and he never learns his lesson even after being beaten.

Moreover, the child has a unique personality. He is unwilling to play with other children of the same age in the village. He seems a little eccentric and causes a lot of worry to the Liu couple. However, the village chief always thinks that the child's personality is good.

Wu Tie lowered his head and hoeed the fields a few more times, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the direction Liu Dongchen was running, but in the end, he still picked up the hoe out of concern and planned to follow and take a look.

In the past two years, as the situation outside has become increasingly chaotic, many people have brought their families into this mountainous area, and many of them have appeared around Shangtang Village.

But don't assume that just because these people are seeking refuge, they are all good people. Even in Shangtang Village there are rogues like Xiang Feng, and there must be similar people in other villages. Moreover, there may not be any defeated horse bandits among them.
In the field, a figure wearing a conical hat also noticed this scene. He looked up and watched Wu Tie leave with a gloomy expression.

This person was Xiang Feng.

But only six years have passed, and this person's eye sockets have become dark, his face has become pale, and there are many more white hairs on his head. You should know that Xiang Feng is only thirty-seven years old this year, but at first glance, he looks like a man in his fifties.

On the other side, Liu Dongchen jogged all the way to the stream behind the village.

He glanced at the hemp rope wrapped around the tree across the stream and ignored it. Instead, he looked at the fish swimming in the gurgling stream with some excitement. He took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the stream.

Fortunately, the stream was not deep. When he stepped into it, only one meter deep, the water only reached his knees.

What Liu Dongchen didn't notice was that a black gas was swimming in the sky outside the hemp rope, slowly falling towards him. However, he was still concentrating on catching fish and didn't notice it.

"Fish, fish, come quickly~"

Liu Dongchen stared at the water surface, stood still, and did not act rashly.

Until a black fish slowly swam past his feet, Liu Dongchen suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the black fish with his quick eyes and hands!

"Crack!!"

Liu Dongchen looked thin, but he was very strong. He grabbed the black fish out of the water and watched it flapping in his hands with excitement on his face.

At the same time, the black fog in the sky slowly came above Liu Dongchen. At this time, Liu Dongchen seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked at the black fog in the sky in astonishment.

At this moment, the black fog suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Liu Dongchen!
Liu Dongchen had no time to react and could only watch the black fog rushing towards him at a rapid speed!
"Xiaochen!!!"

Wu Tie, who had just arrived here, saw this scene and his eyes were bloodshot! He quickly ran towards Liu Dongchen!
Although he didn't know what it was, it was definitely not a good thing! However, at the distance he was at, it was obviously too late to catch up!
"when!"

Just when the black gas was halfway towards Liu Dongchen, a green bamboo stick rushed out quickly, instantly pierced the black gas away and nailed it to a tree trunk not far away.

"Roar!"

The black gas was nailed to the tree by the green bamboo stick, and it actually let out a painful beast roar, then quickly dissipated.

Liu Dongchen and Wu Tie were both stunned by this sudden scene. Wu Tie looked at the familiar green bamboo stick and hurriedly looked in the direction where the green bamboo stick came from.

“My benefactor!!”
