Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

After talking about the Dragon Girl, the girls were all ready to focus on the beautiful scenery of Xiaoyao Valley. Chu Wuji's question brought their attention back.

Among the people sitting at the bottom of the pavilion, several eyes were focused on Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying.

The Crane Immortal flapped her wings lightly, moving her body leisurely. Her snow-white wings fanned out a comfortable breeze. She looked at the girl, and through the girl's body, she looked into the celestial fox within her.

Crane Hermit had noticed the existence of the Heavenly Fox from the very beginning, but the focus of the topic was not on it, and the Heavenly Fox had no ill intentions, so Crane Hermit did not ask any further questions.

"Is this the spirit of the ancestors, summoned back by some unknown sacrificial ritual? It's surprising that they were able to linger for so long."

When Chu Wuji heard what He Xianren said, he sighed in his heart that this old senior was truly an old senior. He could see so many things just by looking at him for the first time.

He first mentioned the fox tribe in Jieshi City, then directly stated his own difficulties, saying:

"I want to find a reliable way to let the Sky Fox Goddess 'live' peacefully, without being worn down by the loss of the unknown source. I tried to cultivate in other people's bodies a few times before, but there was no progress.

Although the Sky Fox Lady came here for revenge, she did not commit any murder. Even the revenge against the city lord was carried out by me!"

The Heavenly Fox Goddess did not continue to stay in Yun Qingying's delicate body. The girl's fox characteristics slowly dissipated, and a ball of light with a charming and elegant charm flew out and transformed into a fragrant and delicate fox beauty next to her.

Her red lips curled into a faint smile as she angrily blamed Chu Wuji: "Young Master, why do you sound like you're trying to clarify that I have no criminal record when reporting to the police?"

Chu Wuji smiled back and decided not to tease or joke with the Fox Goddess for the time being.

The existence of the immortal forces, from the cultivators and disciples to the elders and worshippers, may seem to have different temperaments, but they all have one thing in common: they will not bother with people with bad karma.

The existence of the Sky Fox Goddess is inherently strange and sensitive, so of course she has to help clarify her past.

Crane Immortal did not interrupt, and responded to the difficulty that Chu Wuji was most concerned about to the best of her knowledge. She said:

"A group of little foxes who can't even transform should not be able to summon the spirit of an ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's level under normal circumstances. In the past hundred thousand years, it seems that even the Seven-Tailed Fox Clan has become extinct, and the highest attainment is only the Six-Tailed.

That sacrificial technique is abnormal, and the person who spread that sacrificial technique is even more abnormal!"

After returning to the world, the Heavenly Fox Lady had indeed never heard of any fox demon cultivators who had transformed into human form. She sighed:

"I was just playing around when I broke through to the six-tailed level. Has the fox clan fallen to this point now? I thought there should at least be a hidden little fox fairy sanctuary or something like that."

Chu Wuji caught a piece of information and said with concern;

"Senior Tingqin, why are you so sure about 'the person who spread the sacrificial technique'? Couldn't the little foxes have had a fortuitous encounter and obtained it by chance?"

Crane Immortal passed the topic to the two elders of the Shenxiao Sect and said:

"You should know this, right?"

Chu Wuji was confused and looked at Ning Xianzhi and Jiuwu Taoist in doubt. They both nodded, confirming what Elder Xianhe said.

Ning Xianzhi's face was calm, and her speech was clear and concise:

"A while ago, many fellow Daoists who had been traveling abroad returned to the sect for banquets and casual conversations, and they all mentioned related matters. Similar situations have occurred in many places. Unknown sacrificial rituals have summoned the spirits of ancestors, who wreaked havoc in an area before disappearing."

Jiuwu Taoist was just watching the direction of Tiannu River, hoping that the Dragon Girl could bring back the wine as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, when the topic came to this, she added:

"Just before you, Wu Ji, set off for the Southern Heaven Kingdom, many old men in the sect came back and mentioned this matter, and they all sighed!

It's impossible to stop a riot caused by the spirits of ancestors. Wuji, this is a rare and unexpected situation. It's not easy."

......Isn’t this an isolated case?

Chu Wuji was stunned, and Crane Immortal also gave him a look of praise and approval. She said in a gentle voice:

"These days, whenever I hear the word 'ancestral spirits' mentioned in a rumor, I become worried and anxious, because it inevitably brings with it the tragic consequences of human suffering.

It's truly amazing that someone like you, Qilin'er, could get along peacefully with the Ancient Sky Fox without causing any major disaster!"

Chu Wuji accepted the award, but he was not happy. He forced a smile and said:

"That's probably due to Madam Sky Fox's personal ability. Her realm is too high. Even if she has resentment and hatred in her heart, she won't be easily controlled by these emotions. It's not my credit.

Senior Tingqin, in your opinion, what should I do now... to help the Sky Fox Goddess escape her predicament? I don't want her to disappear from the world! Even if this method is considered a temporary solution, it's still not thorough enough.

Crane Hermit fell silent. She reviewed the long memories in her mind, searching for suspicious clues, trying to find some clues for the child.

If an ordinary mortal died and passed away not long ago, it would not be difficult for him to come back and say a few words, but in the end he could not resist the fate of disappearing.

Now, this nine-tailed celestial fox has fallen in the ancient times that are difficult to trace, and has surpassed the scope of known magic.

Even among the immortal forces, there are many cultivators who have no hope of breaking through, have exhausted their lifespans, and have passed away. If there really were such a powerful sacrificial technique, the immortal sects would have long ago relied on their foundation to invite these old friends back.

The replacement of the old with the new is the law of heaven and earth. Especially for those ambitious and greedy old things, if there were no limit on their lifespan, I am afraid that future generations would have no chance to succeed. The old people would definitely block the chances of the newcomers to surpass them.

"Eternal life and resurrection are the ultimate aspirations of those who transcend the mundane. The various things happening secretly in the outside world right now give us a whiff of this aspiration. This is probably the result of a covert attempt by some forces."

Chu Wuji frowned, savoring the other party's words: "Try secretly?"

"Yes, because the unrest and riots that occurred in various places all happened suddenly and ended suddenly. There was no follow-up and no connection between them.

So it's more like repeated attempts, practicing in various places to get familiar with the ability."

This was just a guess made by Crane Hermit based on appearances, but it was not groundless or nonsense.

The forces that transcend the mundane world seem to have great powers and can stir up trouble, move mountains and rivers, and are omnipotent. Their temperaments are unpredictable, but the goals and pursuits of these beings will become very "simple".

Nothing less than eternal life and resurrection.

The closer someone is to their death, the more likely they are to lose control and act madly. The old Dragon King's sudden death in the Nu River that day was a sign of this. Immortal cultivators are considered the best; most of them can maintain their original intentions, remain impartial, and pass away peacefully.

I have seen too many old people like Hexianren.

It just so happens that the unusual disturbances and riots in recent years have all involved a sense of "resurrection", but with the added disguise of "sacrificing the spirits of ancestors", it does not seem so obvious.

Chu Wuji thought of something and said seriously, "Someone is trying this, which means they have mastered this method. It could be an ancient spell or a peerless magic weapon, right?"

As long as he can find this group of people hiding in the shadows and take away their "methods", Chu Wuji may be able to completely solve the hidden danger to the survival of the Sky Fox Queen!

Suddenly, he found that several senior immortals were silent, and their expressions showed subtle helplessness.

"Wu Ji, what you just said smacked of stubbornness. If it fell into the ears of an immortal cultivator, it would be the beginning of your inner wandering. Don't say it again in the future."

Ning Xianzhi gently reminded her that the tone of this cold female immortal would unconsciously soften when she spoke to him.

Even though Chu Wuji had just made a rather taboo slip of the tongue, Ning Xianzhi still didn't lecture him harshly.

Jiuwu Taoist was more straightforward. She said:

"Just keep it to yourself, don't say it out loud. Others will hear it and then they'll have a reason to cause trouble for you!"

Aunt Qingshe was puzzled. Shouldn't she use some sage's teachings to persuade Chu Wuji to calm down at this time? She asked in confusion:

"You said it's taboo, but from what you said, it seems like you are teaching Chu Wuji to do bad things secretly. Are you still teachers in the immortal sect?"

Crane Immortal felt it was difficult to explain clearly to Green Snake, so he simply said:

"Let nature take its course. A cultivator's pursuit of immortality and rebirth is just like a mortal's pursuit of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and the seven emotions and six desires. It's all natural, so how can it be suppressed?"

Aunt Green Snake was even more confused after hearing this:

"The pursuit is the same, and you don't advocate suppressing this kind of thinking. Then what is the difference between immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, and evil cultivators?"

It was rare for the Sky Fox Lady to hear Green Snake ask such a tricky question, but the answer was not difficult. She said:

"Green Snake, you might as well look at your sister, White Snake. Her style of doing things is the answer."

"...style of doing things?" The girl in green dress seemed to be thinking about something.

Chu Wuji wanted to joke with his aunt, but since he had only gotten a few clues, he didn't want to distract himself and continued to ask:

"Senior Tingqin, how do we find this force behind this incident? Do you have any direction?"

He Xianren shook his head. "Your two teachers in the Divine Sky Sect are both well-known figures. A lot of information cannot escape their ears. If they don't know, I won't know it in depth."

The best advice she could give was to spend more time in various immortal sects. Wherever a major event occurred, the local immortal sect would definitely know the most.

The ideas that Jiuwu Taoist gave him earlier were also useful. He would go and contact those big monsters and old masters when he had the chance.

The drunken Taoist priest's sitting posture had unconsciously become lazy, like a sleeping arhat, with her head propped up and lying on her side at the table, wishing she could find a pillow. She remembered something:

"If someone was involved in the little fox's sacrifice, then that force should now be mixed up in the Demonic Sect. Back then, the entire Jieshi City was eaten away by the Hehuan Sect's people, leaving me with not even a jar of wine!"

Chu Wuji held his forehead and thought deeply.

Did the people in the Hehuan Sect deliberately instigate the Jieshi City Lord to surround and kill those little foxes in order to stimulate the little foxes to accumulate resentment and successfully perform the sacrifice technique?

"The Jieshi City Lord's favorite concubine at the time, the woman from the Hehuan Sect wearing a fox fur coat, seemed to have been beaten to death by me..."

But even if she was beaten to death, it wouldn't mean anything. Being a favorite concubine must be done by low-level disciples. There is no way the people hiding in the dark would do it themselves. They would probably make sure that the ancestor's spirit was successfully sacrificed and then run away.

"As for the demonic forces, I don't know much about them, so it's difficult for me to offer any insights." Hermit Crane was powerless to do anything about it.

Chu Wuji was silent for a moment, and the scene he saw in Jintai Temple emerged in his mind.

In the scene reappearing from the Heavenly Fox Goddess, the Holy Lady He Huan was working with the White Peacock of the Divine Water Sect, and a woman in a black dress disguised as Bai Sujin. They were the ones who orchestrated the tragic massacre at Jintai Temple...

Perhaps through the line of Fu Guanyin, I can contact the White Peacock of the Shenshui Sect and indirectly learn more about the inside story of the Demon Sect!

"By the way, I can also ask that woman in the black dress what she's doing pretending to be my White Snake Mother. It could easily get her into trouble!"

Chapter 248 Demon Cultivator, Black Snake and Scorpion

This part of the discussion was an additional topic, and we didn't continue after we had almost finished talking about it.

You can't chew too much, so just review what has been agreed upon.

The Crane Immortal generously gave the guests some privileges, allowing them to visit various places in Xiaoyao Valley, even the more secluded places.

She is not the real head of Xiaoyao Valley, but she still has some say.

Chu Wuji couldn't think of where to go for a stroll for a moment, and Taoist Jiuwu acted as the leader with the flag, and suggested going to the cafeteria to see if the sword cultivators had brought back the food, so Chu Wuji followed them.

However, all he could think about in his mind was what they were talking about, and a thread became clear before his eyes.

This thread isn't a major clue; it's just a direction to move forward. Having a general direction makes it easier to get back on track if you stray.

Continuing to rely on the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers to practice is an obstacle that cannot be avoided. Previously, I focused on the mountains, and now with the addition of rivers, progress should be faster.

As for cultivation, he can only treat it as a daily homework and approach it with a normal mind. He may have to devote more energy to various intelligence from the outside world and pay close attention to major changes.

The best scenario would be to actually catch a sacrifice that happened not long ago and try to confirm on the spot who was responsible.

They probably want to resurrect some ancient great man, but sorry, Chu Wuji has to try his best to fight for it and help the Sky Fox Queen to grab this opportunity!

"Before, I heard that Fu Guanyin would return to confront the White Peacock after her wings matured, so I had to accompany her on another trip to the Western Regions."

"The Western Regions are in chaos, full of mixed people. I'm going to use the White Peacock to find the Holy Lady Hehuan and see if she knows anything about this."

"I kind of regret that I didn't tie up Saint Hehuan when I met her a few times before..."

I have to say, this is really the most annoying thing for Chu Wuji right now!

The regret brought by "missing the opportunity" is so strong, just like the big fish biting the hook and then escaping. Fortunately -

He is now a man who has caught a dragon!

"Young Master, what are you mumbling quietly to yourself? I can only see your lips moving, but no sound is coming out!"

The Fox Goddess turned back into a cat-sized fox body and was held in Yun Qingying's arms as she came to Chu Wuji's side.

An imperceptible expression of immersive joy appeared on Yun Qingying's cold little face. She was enjoying the feeling of holding the beautiful, furry white fox. Little did she know that she had invisibly become the mount of the Heavenly Fox Goddess, responsible for carrying her around.

Chu Wuji wanted to take the Sky Fox Goddess, but the girl refused to let him. She tightened her arms a little more, protecting her from him.

"Okay, okay, then Senior Sister Qingying, hold her first." He replied to the girl, then looked at the Sky Fox Goddess, "I was just regretting that I didn't tie up that Hehuan demon girl after encountering her several times."

Yun Qingying didn't have a good impression of the Hehuan demon woman. She frowned and asked, "Why did you tie her up?"

"To interrogate for information, about what I just discussed with Senior Tingqin. If the Hehuan Demon Girl had been kidnapped before, we could have just pulled her out and questioned her in detail!"

"That's true. It's a pity indeed." Yun Qingying nodded.

She had little experience since she came down the mountain, and was not aware of many of the things Chu Wuji had experienced. When she heard him suddenly mention the Hehuan demon girl, she thought it had something to do with men and women.

However, Yun Qingying had just learned that there were so many major events happening in the outside world. The sacrificial chaos that occurred in various places resulted in the tragic deaths of lives... These were things that were rarely heard of in the sect.

From what fellow disciples had heard, dealing with small demons causing harm to people was the norm, while attacking demon lairs was a rare occurrence.

Chu Wuzhi, on the other hand, always picks big things to deal with. I have never heard of him dealing with any little monsters... No, it seems he has.

Before he started to temper his physical body, he had already come into contact with things like cat spirits, Kumantongs, and rat Taoists. As he made some progress in tempering his physical body, the troublesome people he encountered became even more formidable.

When I think about it this way, I still admire his luck!

"Oh, they're back! There are two big fat dragons!" As soon as the Taoist Jiuwu landed on the Canteen Fairy Peak, he saw the figure of the swordsman from Xiaoyao Valley.

They came in groups, some of them carrying the corpse of a huge dragon, flying over from afar. Their clothes were a little disheveled, and many of them were injured, but the faces of each sword cultivator were filled with the simple joy of a good harvest.
