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

Chu Wuji wanted to go down and take a closer look, but before he landed, the fishing net of one of the Yanjia aircraft broke, and all the fish ran away. The workers were horrified.

"We just installed a new network yesterday, how come it's broken already? Did someone cut corners?"

"Hurry, hurry, someone who's good at swimming, go and reel in the hole and pull up as many fish as you can!"

"I have to work overtime to catch more fish, oh!"

Chu Wuji was silent. What was the big deal? He was just looking at it, and he didn't really cast the rod. He said depressedly:

"I haven't put much effort into spiritual cultivation, and I almost forgot about the existence of backlash."

Bai Sujin had a compassionate heart and could not bear to see the people working in vain, so she quickly pulled her son away from the lake, and the work below indeed returned to normal.

Auntie Qingshe took out the tiger seal and used it to dispel his bad luck, and asked curiously:

"Fishing doesn't count as spiritual practice, so how could it be affected?"

Bai Sujin reminded him, "Don't overthink it. Wuji was already like this before he was struck by the backlash of his fortune. But if you really want to dig deeper, he tends to enter a meditative state when fishing, similar to a cultivator's meditation. Perhaps that's the reason?"

The bird with lush green tail feathers continued to move forward and lead the way.

With the help of the speed of flying in the clouds, they soon arrived at the first ambush location, which was a very ordinary deep mountain forest, but there was no human habitation within a radius of 200 miles.

The Fox Goddess did not like this place to become a battlefield. She expressed her thoughts:

"Although this place is deserted, it's full of life and is home to many creatures. I can see several little creatures quietly cultivating at a glance. Let's change places."

"Can the cunning celestial fox also show mercy?" Aunt Green Snake was a little surprised, and she still spoke so rudely.

Bai Sujin agreed with the fox girl, saying, "As a habitat, this place is indeed superior, incomparable to ordinary forests. It's only slightly inferior to the secluded stream where Xiaoqing and I lived."

Chu Wuji laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's not like this is the only place we can use. Let the kingfisher continue to lead the way."

The kingfisher crossed most of the border of Tianji Kingdom in one day, and its wings were about to smoke.

It then led the way to two more locations, both of which met the criteria of being remote and reasonably suitable for the requirements.

However, Chu Wuji had said at the beginning that he would let Kingfisher set the destination as Kunlun Ruins, and look for those remote areas along the way, and unknowingly they were very close to Kunlun Ruins.

The impact of the Kunlun Ruins' boundaries is very clear. Even in the summer, the trees in the plain forest are covered with white frost.

This aroused everyone's curiosity.

Now that you're here, why not take a walk around Kunlun Ruins?

At the very least, you can pretend to be looking for tenants for the dojo and take a few looks inside.

The kingfisher chirped something, and Bai Sujin helped translate:

"It said that ten miles ahead would be the last town before entering Kunlun Ruins. If we want to stay overnight, we should stop here. If we go any further, it will be difficult to find a cave to shelter from the snow."

Chu Wuzhi glanced at the direction he came from. He walked and hurried along the way for three days in a row. He was already traveling very fast. It was time to stop and rest for a while.

Besides, Mrs. Jiang has been holding it in for several days, so it’s time to help her relieve it.

Under the "training" of the Fox Goddess, Mrs. Jiang's physical transformation has accelerated. She no longer has to spend time "opening the warehouse and releasing grain" every day like before, but she can still feel the increase every few days.

"Let's stay for a night and see if there are any good local food."

After Chu Wuji finished speaking, the white snake and the green snake returned to his sleeves and occupied their respective caves.

He and Mrs. Jiang landed a little further away, stood there for a while, waiting for the frost and snow to fall on their shoulders, and then pretended to be tired travelers and entered the town.

The stone tablet at the entrance of the town reads "Ganglie Town", and several abandoned armors are piled up next to the low city wall.

Chu Wuji focused his attention on hearing and caught several voices in the town.

Someone urged strongly:

"Believe me, these pigs can't be kept anymore. They must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise they will eat people!"

Chapter 364 Lu Guan Boy

Chu Wuji was eavesdropping with his ear tilted, and a beautiful green snake in his sleeve also poked its head out and listened with its "ear" tilted. The two people's movements were very consistent.

The Sky Fox Goddess doesn't have to go through so much trouble. She just needs to prick up her ears to hear everything clearly.

"It sounds... like nothing special. I thought I might run into a ghost, or at least have some fun." The fox girl sighed regretfully.

Pigs eat everything. Sometimes when they are extremely hungry, people may accidentally fall into the pigpen and be eaten crazily. This is not uncommon.

If a rabbit gets anxious, it will bite off the feeder's fingers.

Mrs. Jiang hadn't reacted yet. Her attention was still on the name of the town. She said:

"Ganglie Town, isn't that wild boar? It seems there are a lot of wild boars around here. Maybe this whole town relies on raising pork for its livelihood."

Chu Wuji responded to the beautiful woman with his gaze and praised:

"Mrs. Jiang likes to study local industries and other subjects? We were just thinking about whether we should go and read some gossip~"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, not daring to accept the compliments. She glanced at the town streets in front of her. It was quiet and the population was estimated to be less than 300 people.

The town's streets are dirt roads without stone paving, and the houses don't have any distinctive features.

After all, it is a remote town, and the people do not pursue luxurious decoration of their houses. Their money and ability are limited, and no one will see it even if it is decorated. It is enough to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Where can we hear gossip in such a quiet town? It seems that there are no storytelling shops in the teahouses." The beautiful woman looked around but did not see any similar restaurants.

"Let's go and take a look. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we might not be able to see the excitement of the locals."

After Chu Wuzhi finished speaking, he locked the approximate direction through hearing, and took Mrs. Jiang's hand and moved forward. In an unfamiliar place, it is necessary to walk faster.

The arm that Chu Wuzhi was holding hands with happened to be the burial place of Aunt Qingshe. She leaned her head out and looked at the woman's white wrist, feeling conflicted.

She really wanted to bite it because the vixen was inside her body, but her body was Madam Jiang, so it was difficult to bite it.

The town is not big. After walking for a while, the voice of persuasion became clearer and I could hear it without concentrating.

Chu Wuji pointed to a pig farm in front of him and said:

"It's right in front. I've walked all the way here, and the number of pedestrians I've seen is not as large as the number of people gathered here."

There is no gatekeeper here. People coming in and out are local people and merchants who come to choose pigs.

At that moment, a young man with tanned purple-black skin was kindly persuading the pig farm owner.

"Just now, when you were feeding the pigs, I knocked on the iron basin and seven or eight pigs looked up and glared at you. You can't keep these pigs anymore! They're prone to problems!"

There were people watching nearby. I guess people here are bored all year round, so they all came over to watch the fun, and many of them were drinking and eating melon seeds.

The locals are not curious about outsiders and seem to be accustomed to the coming and going of merchants.

Chu Wuji pretended to be burning with gossip and approached to ask:

"What's going on?"

To gather intelligence in other places, one has to pay favors, but when it comes to gossip, it is an exception. The enthusiastic masses are simply eager to share and can't help but want to.

"A boy named Lu Guan passed by, bringing a girl named Lu Kai from the same village. They said they were going to the Great Snow Mountain to seek immortals and learn from a teacher. They had run out of money, so they helped out here to earn some food."

"We've only been working for three days, and today he suddenly started making a fuss, saying he couldn't keep the pigs... that's what he just said."

"We've been raising pigs in Ganglie Town for so many years, and we've never heard of the taboos he mentioned. It's normal for the pigs to look up at you when you beat the gongs and drums, isn't that normal?"

Chu Wuji simply responded twice. After hearing other people's gossip, he had to give some reaction:

"Maybe it's because of different customs. Maybe they have these taboos about pigs there?"

He walked a few steps away to avoid being dragged into endless gossip by the enthusiastic people.

Bai Sujin whispered, "Now that you mention it, I remember there were some rumors that pork butchers have some taboos. They can't kill five-toed pigs. If they do, they have to stop using their knives and change their profession, otherwise they will be in big trouble."

Aunt Green Snake had an impression of this. She had heard similar rumors in her early years:

"When a pig is being fed and it looks at people, it means it has awakened its intelligence and is about to kill. I think everyone says that, but I haven't paid much attention to it."

The Fox Goddess laughed in surprise and said, "It's not a pig demon that has become a spirit. Why is there so much to it?"

She really had never paid attention to these things. No matter how abnormal the pigs were or how vicious their behavior was, they were not in her eyes and posed no threat.

Mrs. Jiang still had the mentality of a young woman from a mortal family. She was a little afraid of these strange rumors that sounded inexplicably scary.

Chu Wuji suddenly smiled, feeling that his group was indeed tired after two days of traveling. Several people with cultivation skills actually paid attention to the folk rumors among the pork butchers.

He directly asked several great monsters around him to see if any of the numerous pigs in the pigpen had awakened their spiritual intelligence.

Aunt Green Snake’s answer was decisive and she simply said “No”.

The Sky Fox Lady seemed to be trying to pick a fight, and argued, "Perhaps something dirty drifted into the piglet when it was born. In the absence of spiritual energy, the pig can just play dumb. How can we tell if it has any intelligence?"

Chu Wuji was afraid that his aunt would suddenly bite Madam Jiang's wrist, so he stuffed his fingers into her mouth and said, ignoring her protests:

"Let's go and find a place to rest. There are merchants coming and going here, so there should be small restaurants and inns."

Chu Wuzhi and Madam Jiang left the pig farm. A half-grown white pig pushed aside the other pigs and went to the trough to grab food. It quietly raised its creepy eyes and stared at the people beside the pigpen.

Under the influence of this pig, several other pigs began to look up and stare at people.

Staring at people seems to increase appetite.

The people outside the pig pen were completely unaware of this. The pig farm owner felt helpless about the young man's persistence and said:

"These pigs are all taken. How am I going to explain myself if I kill them now? Are you going to ask me to pay you? This is the livelihood of Gangli Town, and you want me to kill seven or eight at once? Who can resist?"

The worker who was carrying the feed continued:

"Who cares if this pig wants to eat people? When it's killed, just give it a splash of boiling water and a beating with a big stick. And how can you let it do what it wants?"

Lu Guan, a young man who was temporarily earning money, also understood the boss's difficulties. It was all about livelihood and he could not afford such a huge loss. In his hometown, this Tai Sui pig could only be offered to the City God to ward off disasters.

Kid Lu Guan decided not to say any more, as talking too much would be annoying.

I glanced down inadvertently and saw a few pigs staring at me with ferocious looks while eating.

"Look, he's staring at me again!"

As if they were teasing each other, when the pig farm owner and others looked over, all the pigs were eating with their heads down in unison, like tigers and wolves, afraid that they would not be able to compete with other pigs. How could they raise their eyes to stare at people?

They looked at the young man helplessly, without saying anything, but it seemed as if they had said everything, very impatient.

Lu Guan wanted to argue but was speechless, so he could only remind:

"If the night watchman hears any strange noises in the pigpen, or the pigs suddenly squeal for no reason, he must not enter the pigpen. They are trying to lure you in!"

The guys at the pig farm were so confused by the kid teaching them how to raise pigs that they were tired of hearing him. They just waved their hands:

"Alright, alright. Where are you from? Even raising pigs has so many taboos and dogmas."

"We've been raising pigs in Ganglie Town for generations, and we've seen drunks fall into the pigpen and get eaten."

The pig farm owner was not just disgusted. He did feel that this foreign kid was a bit annoying, but he mostly just gave him reminders and did not rashly do anything out of line.

Let's just assume he means well.

The boss took out two strings of copper coins, stuffed them into Lu Guan's hand, and said generously:

"Since you've been working diligently these past few days, I'll give you some extra money for your travel expenses. When you've had enough fun, go home. Seeking an immortal and becoming his disciple is nothing. It's even more illusory than those taboos you just mentioned!

Don't make the elders in the village worry about you. Just go to that place and you'll be able to fulfill your dream of becoming a god."

......

Chu Wuji wandered around for a long time and finally found a small restaurant in the town. The restaurant mainly served stewed dishes in a small pot. Similar eating habits can be easily seen in cold places.

The only dish you don’t see often on the menu is probably cold noodles.

After the cold noodles were served, Lady Fox took advantage of Madam Jiang's beautiful body to taste the noodles and asked in confusion:

“Why are cold noodles hot?”

Normal cold noodles, it seems the soup is cold but the noodles are freshly cooked.

But the restaurant owner also serves as the chef, and he doesn't know that much. This is a recipe he learned from outside and was added to the menu because it looked simple.

Hearing the diners talking, he laughed and said:

"It's summer now, so it's already warm. If it were winter, the soup would get cold in no time. That would be authentic cold noodles!"

Chu Wuji laughed and gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up.

Aunt Green Snake gently bit the younger generation and reminded him to pick up some noodles and feed them to her:

"Let me have a bite while it's hot, otherwise it will really become cold noodles."
