“Longhu Mountain,” Chen Ruoan replied.

"Longhu Mountain?" The Monkey King, having come from the Taihang Mountains, was unfamiliar with the terrain of Longhu Mountain, and asked again, "Why did you come here?"

"The elves are being squeezed, and their living space is gradually being compressed. If we don't stick together for warmth, we will perish sooner or later."

As Chen Ruoan replied, Jin Tong peered into the mist, but all he could see were shadowy figures, and he couldn't make out any clear shapes.

The monkey king pondered for a moment, then sent two monkeys to carry over a man whose leg had been crippled. He was tied to a thick, long tree trunk, and his mouth was wrapped with several coils of thorny vines.

"Since you have come from afar, we naturally cannot neglect you."

"Here, have some! This will be a good opportunity to prove whether you, fox, are a treacherous spirit sent by a sorcerer."

The fox opened its sharp snout, bit the frantically struggling man, swung him high into the air, and swallowed him whole. In the end, it only spat out a few pieces of wood chips and some vines.

"Strange. We both eat people, so why is your fox body so pure?"

"That is naturally..." Chen Ruoan was about to explain when he remembered the dry food hidden in his stomach and had a wicked idea. "I have a few phoenix spirit eggs here, which can allow me to enjoy my taste buds without being contaminated by the turbid air."

"Oh?"

"Brother Monkey, would you perhaps like to give it a try?"

"If you are willing to make the painful decision, then let my children try it first."

Chen Ruoan opened his mouth and exhaled mist, and several white jade eggs rolled onto the grass. Immediately, a monkey ran over and stuffed them into its mouth, shell and all.

A cool and refreshing sensation swept over the monkey's body, causing it to let out a soft groan.

"Do you feel refreshed after eating my food?"

"Squeak squeak squeak." The monkey nodded in agreement, a feeling of goodwill towards the fox quietly growing within it.

"very good."

The Monkey King continued to test him, and only after his doubts were dispelled did he part the mist in front of him to reveal his true face.

It is nearly three times larger than a typical macaque, with broad shoulders and back, muscular arms, and a mane like steel needles on the back of its neck.

Because of its advanced age, its ruddy face was wrinkled, its eyes were sunken, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

"Brother Fox, distinguished guest, distinguished guest indeed!"

The old macaque wanted to pat the fox on the shoulder, but the fox was so small that it would probably kill it with one slap, so it had to give up.

"I must thank Brother Monkey for the delicious food he prepared."

"What's with the formalities! You mere mortals, having only taken one more step than us, dare to call yourselves the most intelligent of all beings?"

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little. Since I attained Qi, I have been pondering a question: why is it that only humans cannot kill and eat meat? We are just following our own nature now."

Chen Ruoan smiled in agreement, stealing a glance at the forest outside. The figures moving through the dense woods had not yet disappeared, and the Qi on each figure was exactly the same.

I understand now. The monkey hair clone that can mimic the movement of one's own Qi, combined with agile and nimble movements, can indeed allow one to escape freely in the complex terrain of the mountains and fields.

The distance was too great for the fox's golden eyes to detect.

But one thing is certain: the little phoenix's egg will definitely fall into the belly of the original body.

The pheasant's magic lies in its eggs, not in itself. Once it realizes it has accepted being fed, the old pheasant will become the fox's good son.

The old macaque stared at the eggs on the ground, nodding repeatedly:

"Brother Fox is truly fortunate, having this opportunity to purify our souls. The more violent and addictive we become when we consume flesh and blood, the more we become. May I ask how you obtained this spirit egg?"

"Brother Monkey, don't forget, I am a fox."

"Oh dear!" The old macaque slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten that the fox was an expert at stealing bird eggs.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The old macaque did not consume the egg on the spot; instead, it carefully hid it away as if it had found a treasure.

This reaction was exactly what the fox had anticipated, because the old monkey in front of him was also a clone.

"Come, brother, this way please. Stay here for the night. My little ones are at your disposal. Don't underestimate them just because some of them are no good yet; they can understand a little bit of human language."

Chen Ruoan glanced at the monkeys in the forest: "Although Brother Monkey dislikes humans, he adopts the cultivation methods of extraordinary people."

"Hmph, it's because my monkey race has no decent lineage to leave behind. What are Danxia Great Sage, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Monkey King God? They're all just empty names. So I'll have to pave the way."

This dilemma is similar to that of the fox.

"You're going to teach all of these monkeys?"

"Of course, compared to what some people say about 'not passing on knowledge to anyone but the most accomplished,' I agree more with the idea of ​​'education for all.'"

Ok?

The fox tilted its head and looked to the side. Could it be that an old fox was also going to do something "new" like the old horse?

If the fox remembers correctly, the Jie Sect's fate seems to have been quite tragic.

Chapter 88 The Fox Mother?

In Ma Xianhong's view, the Shang-Zhou War was a struggle for the world, and the fighting between the extraordinary people behind it was actually caused by the different ideas of the two factions of extraordinary people on the matter of spreading the Dao.

Among them, the Chan Sect represents elitism, only willing to pass on the Daoist teachings to "perfected people" with profound roots and upright character;

The Jie Sect, on the other hand, advocates that all things, regardless of origin or species, have the right to cultivate themselves.

The Jie Sect's "education for all" coincided with Lao Ma's ideal of transforming extraordinary people and eliminating differences through the Body Cultivation Furnace. However, Lao Ma led people into the world of extraordinary people but never paid attention to their personal character cultivation. In the end, he only gathered a motley crew.

It must be said that teaching without discrimination is a great act of compassion, but spiritual practice is a path against the will of Heaven.

The fact that all beings are different yet the same is the source of the destruction of religions.

When the mind is not in accordance with the law, disaster strikes; when the root is not in accordance with the Way, death ensues.

If humans are like this, then it goes without saying that a group of beasts, born with murderous, hungry, and wild instincts, are even more so.

The monkeys leaped and frolicked among the branches, making a racket. Chen Ruoan glanced at the monkey king and chuckled, "These monkeys have a bright future with you."

The old macaque bared its teeth, revealing a cunning and wild air, and replied:

"I think you should find a few clever female foxes and let them give birth to a few litters of fox cubs for you. In the future, you will have the opportunity to gather together with the young people who have the opportunity to obtain Qi. If you raise them well, they will definitely be able to help you achieve great things."

Chen Ruoan replied, "That's a good suggestion."

"Hey!" The old macaque chuckled, and tried to pat the fox on the shoulder again, but as it stared at the small fox, its face darkened.

"Brother Fox, since you can swallow a person whole, your true form must be far more enormous than what we see now. Why don't you reveal your true form to me?"

Chen Ruoan explained gently, "It's not that I intentionally deceived you, it's just that I've always been used to showing myself in this cute and petite fox form. This appearance is most likely to attract those who are powerless against fluffy and adorable creatures, making them willingly come to my door and obediently enter my fox's mouth."

Upon hearing this, the old macaque shook its head repeatedly, sighing with envy, "Having a handsome appearance is truly an advantage!"

If it had the elegant and handsome appearance of a golden monkey, it wouldn't have to do this arduous task of hunting and foraging every day.

Who wouldn't want food delivered to their door if they didn't want to sit still?

"Could you change your form so I can see you?" the old monkey asked again.

"of course."

Chen Ruoan deliberately lowered his body, and after the transformation, his fox body was about the same size as the old macaque.

"it is good!"

clap clap clap!

The old macaque finally had a chance to pat the fox on the back.

"Brother Fox, stay here. From now on, stay in the mountains and we'll discuss important matters together!"

The old macaque invited him sincerely, and unable to refuse his hospitality, Chen Ruoan rested at Yuhuangou and spent the night there.

The valley is not a place of spiritual beauty that can absorb the moonlight. Once night falls, the forest becomes so dense that it blocks out the sky, and there is not a trace of moonlight. It is gloomy, cold, and silent all around.

The fox's golden eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, silently memorizing the surrounding mountain terrain.

The next day, when they met the old macaque again, it was still transformed from monkey hair. This monkey's supernatural powers were very subtle. The Qi imitated by the monkey hair could not be detected under the "Observation Method".

On the third day, Chen Ruoan asked about the egg's effects.

The old macaque didn't eat the eggs; what it said came from the monkeys under its command.

Without firsthand experience, it only speaks flowery words and empty rhetoric, failing to touch upon the key points.

Chen Ruoan listened without saying much, and gave him another egg.

···

On the fourth day, Chen Ruoan slowly asked, "Brother Monkey, how do you feel inside?"

The old macaque's eyebrows relaxed, his face beaming with delight, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

"According to the cultivators among men, there is a cool and refreshing feeling in my limbs and bones, and a wisp of Qi descends from the top of my head, falls over the twelve steps of the tower, and stops steadily in my abdomen."

what--

The fox let out a long sigh, stroked its head with its paws, and then tucked its ears behind its back.

It's the fourth day, and I've finally eaten.

"Monkey, it wasn't for nothing that I fed you and took good care of you for three days." Chen Ruoan patted the old macaque's shoulder, leaving a fragrance as a mark.

"Why does it suddenly feel so disgusting?" the old monkey asked, startled.

As soon as the fox reminded him, the "phoenix egg's" magical powers began to subtly activate. The fierce light in the old macaque's eyes disappeared, and the fox became a creature that was both approachable and terrifying in its eyes.

What the hell is that?

The monkey's old eyes suddenly narrowed as painful memories of his childhood flooded back.

Its childhood was not pleasant. In its memory, its mother repeatedly pressed it into the mud and ground it, pushed it into the pool to drown, or dragged it along the mountains by its tail. It survived several near-death experiences and was almost turned into a fashionable "handbag".

Having lived for so many years, I have no idea what maternal love is, but why do I feel such an absurd tenderness at this moment, and almost blurt out "Mom" to the fox in front of me?

"You're trying to play dirty tricks on me!"

The old macaque suppressed the strange emotions in its heart, bared its teeth, revealing a mouthful of dirty, sharp teeth, and became enraged.

"If you can't even control a little bit of ferocity, then don't dream of founding a sect."

"You really are a treacherous spirit!" the old monkey roared. "Don't think you're the only one hiding; I wasn't raised on bananas either!"
