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

The Sky Fox Lady didn't hesitate at all and shook her head in refusal, "Forget it then. Just hearing about it makes me sigh. I don't want to witness the plight of the Fox Clan again."

You can tell by just looking at the reactions of the immortal cultivators nearby. When they heard the name of Xiaoqingqiu, they frowned and thought, looking confused. This shows that the immortal forces have not paid much attention to the fox clan today.

Moreover, Goddess Tianhu also has her own considerations.

It is difficult for a declining fox cultivation force to survive on its own. If they do not get close to the immortal forces, they may have some dirty dealings with evil cultivators to avoid making things difficult for Chu Wuji.

During the years she lived, her own branch of the Tushan clan of foxes was considered "family", so it was better for her not to worry about so many trivial things now.

If there are descendants of my enemies in Xiaoqingqiu, it would be even more disgusting to help them.

When the Tibetan Fox Ghost Cultivator heard Yun Qingying's words, he was stunned and asked hurriedly:

"Senior, you have such strength, don't you plan to revive the fox clan?"

"If you can't revive, can I still help you break the suppression of the thunder tribulation? I can just point out the mistakes you made in your cultivation, little Tibetan fox."

The Sky Fox Goddess' words were very straightforward. She mentioned the situation of the thunder tribulation and directly extinguished the Tibetan Fox's unnecessary thoughts. She no longer said any words of pleading.

As a fellow cultivator, the Four-Tailed Realm was not considered very impressive in the eyes of the Heavenly Fox Goddess, but she had all the necessary understanding of the ways of cultivation and knew that the plight of the fox clan was beyond human power to change.

If the Tibetan fox had that kind of romantic willpower to defy fate, it would not have resigned itself to its fate so early and transformed itself into a ghost cultivator.

While her peers have all died of old age, she can still travel around as a ghost cultivator. How wonderful!

The Tibetan fox ghost cultivator knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

The body of a ghost cultivator has great limitations, but if she can break through to the fifth tail under such circumstances, her lifespan will increase again, and she can live a carefree life for many more years.

The Fox Goddess still admired her mentality of "having fun after giving up" and pointed out some problems that the Tibetan Fox had when practicing.

With the same step of the exercise, some people can still perform it normally even if there are some problems, but the effect is always a little worse.

Just like a simple punch in boxing, some people think that it is enough to just swing the arm, but the actual trick is to use the lower body skills to generate force.

The waist and horse are united.

If it weren't for someone like Chu Wuji who could figure out the art of hunting just by observing the movements of wild beasts, then having a guide to give instructions would be very necessary.

There are many misunderstandings about details, and it is difficult for the parties involved to understand them if no one points them out.

The Tibetan fox ghost cultivator understood immediately and realized his own shortcomings in an instant, and then felt annoyed.

"If I had a master to guide my cultivation, I wouldn't have thought about corpse transformation. I'm afraid I could have made further progress."

But she was very open-minded, and her feelings of regret and annoyance soon disappeared.

"It's not bad now. If I had accidentally realized this detail, I would have had to practice diligently for many more years before accepting my fate and becoming a ghost cultivator. Now I've avoided taking a detour of over a hundred years and achieved my goal in one step!"

Aunt Green Snake listened to the female ghost fox talking to herself and couldn't help but change into human form. She gave her a thumbs up of admiration, then changed back into a snake and returned to Chu Wuzhi's collar.

At this moment, it was midnight.

The evil spirit became visible, the noise gradually rose, and the wild mountains and wilderness were gradually filled with the smell of the underworld.

The ghost market appeared.

Chapter 270 The Ghost on the Boat

It was as if the mist had dissipated, and the remote and cold mountain valley was gradually filled with a bright red light.

A dirt street about 300 meters deep with small buildings appeared out of thin air in front. Warm red lanterns were hung on the vendor buildings, many white oil-paper umbrellas were hung on bamboo poles, and fire pots were placed at intervals in the middle of the street.

The red tone is eye-catching, and it is so lively that it seems like there is a lot of traffic, but if you don’t pay attention, you will feel that it is a sea of ​​fire.

There are many tourists walking around in the ghost market, but there are few real people. Most of them are ghosts, some with long tongues hanging out, some with swollen eyes, some with lost heads... they are still in the state they were in before death.

There don't seem to be many independent cultivators or demons.

As soon as the two living people, Chu Wuzhi and Yun Qingying, appeared, they attracted a lot of attention. The ghosts stared at them, and many terrifying faces turned towards them.

But soon no one paid any attention to it anymore. Firstly, the square-faced Tibetan fox ghost cultivator was talking to the two of them, and secondly, the brother and sister seemed to know the rules.

The Tibetan Fox Ghost Cultivator received guidance from the Heavenly Fox Goddess. Even though she was ready to leave, she had to stay and act as a guide.

She reminded: "Don't make a fuss, ignore others and just go shopping. People just look unfriendly."

Chu Wuji nodded and asked, "What if an ordinary person accidentally enters this place?"

"If this ordinary person knows how to play dumb, he can still leave quietly. But if he gets scared and screams, he will probably be eaten by the ghosts."

"...That certainly doesn't look very friendly."

Chu Wuzhi complained without any unnecessary panic in his heart. If a ghost met him, it would be another matter who was afraid of whom.

He will have to be careful later on, so as not to accidentally bump into someone and send them to the afterlife, otherwise there will be trouble.

The Sky Fox Goddess "went offline", and Yun Qingying regained control of her body. She said to the ghost cultivator:

"You can be our tour guide for a while. What's your name?"

"Xiaofang." The square-faced girl responded.

Chu Wuji couldn't help but ponder her name. It was quite accurate and square!

Speaking of this fox clan, what is it? The few types of foxes I have seen before were all charming creatures with pointed muzzles, but the Tibetan fox looks so... steady.

Walking into the ghost market, it is difficult to estimate the number of tourists inside. Their movements are like ghosts, and their traces appear intermittently.

You may be watching a roadside stall from a distance one moment, and it may appear on your face the next.

I walked past several stalls that sold Yin-type herbs needed for ghost cultivation, as well as some daily necessities, mostly paper houses, paper carriages and the like.

The stall owner is just an ordinary ghost, his cultivation level is not very high, but he has a bit of evil spirit.

Seeing this, Chu Wuji was filled with doubts:

"Have these ghosts, which still retain consciousness, started their own lives? Why would they set up stalls?"

After all, they had entered an area where ghosts and monsters were concentrated. There were ghosts and spirits everywhere, so Chu Wuji didn't dare to whisper here.

He threw the conversation to the Tibetan fox Xiaofang and asked:

"What were you just looking for here? Is there anything interesting to see in this ghost market?"

"There are only a few areas where ghosts can roam and play. When they come across a ghost market, regardless of whether it's fun or not, they will come in and take a look around to see if there are any ghosts who are good at cooking and what to eat."

Bai Sujin had not had much experience with ghosts, so she asked curiously:

"Can't ghosts enter towns where humans live?"

"It depends on the country's strength. It's very difficult to enter a city that's too stable. It feels like there's a fire burning inside. If you pass by a wealthy family, you'll be burned by the incense smoke."

Tibetan fox Xiaofang also mentioned an interesting thing in the past.

In a desolate village in a small country, as the population gradually dwindled, ghosts gradually gathered. Finally, there were only two or three living households left in the entire village, and the rest were all ghosts. They would greet each other every day and pretend to be living people in their daily activities.

Until one day, a young Taoist priest passed by and quietly reminded those living people to leave. They still suspected that the young Taoist priest was talking nonsense.

How could such a big town have only a few living households?

As a result, when they returned to the village, it was empty and silent. Then they realized that what the little Taoist priest said was true. They were scared out of their wits and ran back to chase the Taoist priest.

Ning Xianzhi asked suspiciously, "From what you said, Xiaofang, you were there too, right? Did you not harm those living residents?"

"No, those ghosts just see someone's family member die, do a good deed to help with the burial, and then take over his identity, pretending to be alive and continuing to walk around the village."

"...What's the point of doing this?" Ning Xianzhi felt a little confused. It seemed quite boring.

"It's entertainment. Let's watch those few living people together and see if we can be discovered. It's like playing hide-and-seek. If a ghost loses its intelligence and wants to commit a crime, the other ghosts will stop it and help kill it."

Although having fun is indeed quite the style of the fox clan, this behavior is really weird and beastly.

It feels like I'm bored and crazy, forcing myself to have some fun.

It seems that ghost cultivators don’t have an easy time!

Tibetan fox Xiaofang pointed to a building with carved beams and painted rafters and introduced it:

"That's a ghost brothel, home to some unrepentant lechers. Ghosts go there for entertainment, but they can't really do anything. They mostly just live a life of drunkenness and debauchery, providing essence and energy to those female ghosts."

Chu Wuji looked up and saw through the figure on the paper window that the female ghost was catching the guest and smoking him. Strands of smoke flew into the ghost's mouth, and the guest's figure became increasingly thinner and finally disappeared.

This should also be a kind of salvation...

Because the group had no intention of shopping here, they passed by many stalls without taking a second look. This ghost market street, which was several hundred meters long, was about to reach the end.

Chu Wuji initially wanted to find some cultivation methods that could be used as a reference for the Sky Fox Goddess, but the ghosts here were too weak.

None of them has made any progress in spiritual practice, so it's not even worth asking about them.

"Xiaofang, who's the strongest here? Or, in other words, where's a good place to get intelligence? I want to know some rumors from the outside world."

Tibetan Fox thought for a moment and then looked towards a pleasure boat.

Yes, on this dry land, there is a pleasure boat standing by the road, blending into the street buildings that are as red as a sea of ​​fire.

"The owner of the pleasure boat possesses immense abilities. She can enter a bustling city and blend into the ranks of pleasure boats without being affected. She's probably the most powerful and knowledgeable person in this ghost market."

"Then is it convenient to board the ship directly?" Chu Wuzhi did not act rashly.

"It should be possible. I have never had any contact with the owner of the pleasure boat." Xiaofang's face showed an apologetic look.

Ning Xianzhi's clear eyes narrowed slightly, seeing through the owner of the pleasure boat and confirming that he was not a threat, she said:

"Just go aboard and ask her. She's a ghost living in this pleasure boat, 'coexisting' with it. No matter how powerful she is, she wouldn't dare to act rashly."

Chu Wuji turned his head and looked at the beautiful fairy who was hugging him from behind. Ning Xianzhi's beautiful face was close at hand, and her skin was as delicate as mutton-fat jade. Even at such a close distance, it was still flawless and crystal clear.

Chu Wuji almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but fortunately he stopped his arm in time and pretended to move his arm joints.

Ning Xianzhi's mother probably wouldn't mind, but the two elders in his sleeves would mind!

But no matter what, the feeling of being possessed by a female ghost is really reassuring.

Suddenly, a flattering female voice floated out from the pleasure boat:

"Dear guests outside, please come in. It's really creepy to just stand there without saying a word~"

Although both had a rather coquettish tone, the voice of the pleasure boat owner was more business-like compared to that of the Fox Goddess.

He was like a tired innkeeper who suddenly saw a new guest and immediately forced a smile to greet him.

Whether the smile is sincere or not is one thing, but at least the attitude is right.

Chu Wuzhi took Yun Qingying's hand and boarded the exquisite pleasure boat with her.

As soon as you enter the room, you will see small wild flowers hanging by the window and incense burning on the table, which is very elegant.

The owner of the painted boat floated down from the painting of a lady on the screen. She was a heavily made-up woman, dressed in a style a bit like an oiran, but her appearance... could only be described as gorgeous, not beautiful.

Because he was too thin, the skin on his face was almost skin and bones, and his cheekbones were prominent, even more angular than those of Chu Wuji!

Judging from the strength of her aura, it was surprisingly similar to that of the canteen manager in Xiaoyao Valley, only slightly inferior.

Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying sat down together, briefly introducing themselves without mentioning their origins and identities, and then asked:

"Master of the painted boat, how should we address you?"

The thin-faced woman sat down opposite and replied:

"Mentioning my name only reminds me of the sad things that happened in my life. So, I'll just call you the Painted Boat Ghost. I have a plate of tea and fruit here, but I'm sorry, I can't entertain your stomachs."

The food served by ghosts is indeed inconvenient to taste.

I feel more and more that Senior Jiujiu is really brave, running to the ghost market to find some wine to drink...

Chu Wuji went straight to the point and said:

"Painted Boat Ghost, from what this Ghost Fox Cultivator Xiaofang said, you've been active in many places. Have you heard of the frequent incidents of... ancestral spirits causing chaos?"

"Those terrifying beings that emerged from the sacrificial ritual?"

"Correct."

"There seems to have been a similar incident in Jieshi City. Someone witnessed a terrifying ancient fox fairy appear on the nearby mountain, but for some reason it disappeared."

Chu Wuji, Yun Qingying, and the existence hiding in the brother and sister, couldn't help but fall silent.

After asking around for a long time, I finally found out that it was my fault.

Chu Wuji showed a complicated smile and asked, "Besides this one, are there any others?"

The owner of the pleasure boat loved chatting. After her earlier anxiety dissipated, she started chatting with great joy, saying:
