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

Chapter 63: Fox Fairy Phantom

Chu Wuji still remembered that the White Snake Aunt said "it will be over soon" and "I will find a place to bury myself at night."

There's a sense of a deadline; if things aren't done by then, something else will go wrong.

However, my aunt was busy with this wave of passing on merit and fortune until dawn the next day, and only stopped when she was satisfied. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Is it a different concept of time, or is it that the deadline is actually very loose and not that urgent at all?

Chu Wuji didn't have time to think about these questions, and fell asleep in the warm and soft embrace.

In the cave,

Aunt Qingshe helped Chu Wuzhi put on his clothes, then hugged him and let him rest more comfortably.

The girl felt a little guilty and wondered, "Why do I get so impulsive in things like this? I also blame this brat. Seeing that he was tireless and full of energy, I tasted him for a while longer..."

She finally understood why so many spirits were obsessed with this kind of practice, and why it was so easy to cause loss of life and leave behind piles of dry corpses.

It is indeed easy to miscontrol the "moderation" if you are not careful.

Fortunately, the elder sister White Snake accidentally obtained a ray of spiritual energy from heaven and earth when she was young, and she became intelligent early. She then led her younger sister in practicing, otherwise it would have been easy for her to fall into the wrong path.

If you have tasted the sweetness early on, how can you endure the loneliness to practice?

"Fortunately, this body of merit will be buried soon, and the luck will be replenished for this brat, so he won't be discovered by my sister!"

The green snake was now overwhelmed with thoughts, her heart was surging, she was sometimes panicked and sometimes ashamed, and she couldn't calm down at all.

Her gaze suddenly fell on Chu Wuzhi's sleeping face, and her mood gradually calmed down. Her tender hands caressed the face of this junior.

Chu Wuji has lived in the mountains for too long and has learned many of the habits and auras of wild beasts. Not to mention his martial arts skills, even his expression easily reveals his wild temperament of a wolf or an eagle.

This greatly affects his handsome facial features, and his temperament is too conflicting. If it weren't for his good looks, he would easily be mistaken for a bandit with evil intentions, and the way he looks at others would be a little strange.

Now that he was asleep, the green snake became more and more satisfied as it looked at him, and gradually accepted him as one of its own.

"Sister, you're so foolish! You threw away the body you've accumulated through your good deeds, and you let go of the child you raised so well... Luckily, I'm here to mend things!"

Aunt Green Snake secretly decided that even if her sister White Snake had other concerns, she would make the decision and bring Chu Wuji back to her side.

But at this stage, he really needs to be "free-range" for about half a year.

This is a long-term consideration.

Chu Wuji has just gained good fortune and luck. That invisible destiny will lead him to find the right "good things" and confirm the path of cultivation that suits him.

If the green snake stayed by his side, it would be like having an extra magnet around the compass. Luck would only bring Chu Wuzhi to find her, and that would be a waste of this opportunity.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Wuzhi woke up.

He immediately got up and checked his surroundings, and then met the indifferent expression of the aunt in the white dress, as if the previous passionate and confused feelings in the hot spring were all an illusion.

"Wu Ji, now that you're awake, it's time for me to leave. I've already passed on my merits and luck to you. Make good use of these six months. If you see Bai Sujin again in the future, don't tell her about what happened in the hot springs."

Aunt Green Snake solemnly warned that this matter must not be known to her sister White Snake!

"......knew."

Chu Wuji stopped saying anything to dampen his mood. After a few days of confusion, his aunt had pointed him in a new direction.

Practice well and accumulate spiritual power. Don’t wait for the godmother to appear. He can’t see anything and can only hear a voice.

"Aunt, as the instinctive will of this white snake, will you also manifest yourself in the future?"

"No, I'm almost gone. Luckily you woke up early, otherwise you would have to come and collect my body yourself."

The woman shook her head, but muttered in her heart: Next time we meet, you should call me Aunt Green Snake.

Chu Wuji had just woken up and wanted to chat more, but he suddenly thought of something and took out a handful of porcelain bottle fragments from his arms.

This was broken into pieces by the big white snake's tail sweep, and there was a pill among the fragments.

This is the Black Jade Soul-Restoring Pill given by the old imperial physician. There was originally a crack on it, and now there are a few more scratches on it.

"It is said that the old emperor of the Lihuo Dynasty relied on this pill to maintain his consciousness and clarity of mind before his death. Auntie, would you like to try it?"

The green snake looked at the pill expressionlessly, first swept away the broken pieces of the porcelain bottle to prevent Chu Wuzhi from scratching his hand, and then swallowed the Black Jade Soul-Restoring Pill neatly, without feeling any special medicinal effects.

But it’s better to eat it, so that Chu Wuji won’t be reminded of the person when he sees the thing in the future, and can concentrate on thinking about cultivation.

Chu Wuji scooped up a handful of water for the woman to help her swallow the medicine, and asked with concern:

"Auntie, how do you feel?"

The green snake gathered up a strand of black hair, bent down slightly, drank a sip of water from his palm, and said:

"The pill seems to be of some use. I can chat with you for another hour."

This was of course Green Snake's nonsense. She did feel the effects of the medicine, but there was no special effect.

Chu Wuji was relieved but also felt regretful:

"It's truly a pill for the emperor; it actually comes in handy. However, this crack significantly reduces its effectiveness; it only lasts for an hour..."

Hearing this, the green snake was still thinking about whether to give him another two hours, but finally gave up the idea and said:

"It's not necessarily that the medicine's effectiveness has been compromised. The emperor has a mortal body, while I have the body of a great demon. We can't generalize."

"Right."

Chu Wuji nodded, thinking it made sense.

He did not continue to indulge in it, but instead took the time to inquire about information related to cultivation. He did not expect these few words to lay a foundation, but only wanted to gain more common sense.

"...Aunt, if after six months, I still haven't gained any spiritual power and miss my mother's apparition, when will she appear next?"

If you spend half a year wandering around with your merits and luck but still can't find the path to cultivation, then your bad luck is really too bad.

However, if such a situation really happened, the Green Snake would definitely take him back. Since he could not find his own opportunities in the human environment, it meant that he was suitable to stay with the demon clan.

The green snake stroked his head, continued with a cold face, and lied:

"This means that the fate between you and Bai Sujin as mother and son has completely ended."

"No!" Chu Wuzhi was anxious.

Aunt Green Snake couldn't help but snickering maliciously when she saw his reaction. She softened her tone and said:

"Don't worry too much. Just let things take their course. If you don't encounter any opportunities, there will be a guaranteed one in six months."

"Can opportunities be guaranteed?!"

"You think this is the accumulated merit and fortune of hundreds of years, there must be something extraordinary about it!"

......

An hour passed quickly.

Aunt Green Snake was too lazy to look for another Feng Shui treasure land for burial. She thought this waterfall cave was a good place and suitable as a burial place for this body of merit.

I happened to experience a few unforgettable days here, which is also a commemoration.

She dug out a rock from the ground, leaving a new big hole next to the hot spring pit.

Then, she used magic to carve out a sarcophagus, a sarcophagus with no opening, completely sealed.

In order to prevent Chu Wuji from missing her too much and secretly opening the coffin and doing some unspeakable evil things.

"Auntie is going to bed. You are not allowed to chisel open the sarcophagus and do bad things. Understand?" Green Snake warned seriously, not laughing with him.

"......Yeah." Chu Wuji nodded bitterly.

As he watched with a sense of loss, the graceful body of the woman in the white dress turned translucent, and she walked into the sarcophagus and slowly lay down.

There was absolutely no movement.

Chu Wuji leaned against the stone coffin and sat there for a long time, without saying a word, in a daze.

Sitting there until midnight, he suddenly woke up, splashed cold water on his face, and said to himself:

"Half a year isn't a long time. I can't just sit here and waste my time!"

Then he left the cave, woke up the sleeping mountain dog, asked the little animal for directions and left.

The mountain dog, whose sweet dream was disturbed, cursed at first, but when he found that the two-legged beast in front of him actually brought some cooked fish, he immediately became flattering and personally led him to find a way out of the forest.

A beautiful green snake hid in the tree, watched Chu Wuzhi's figure disappear, and finally used magic to cover the entrance of the cave before leaving to find her sister.

......

Two nights later, the quiet waterfall pool suddenly echoed with a woman's sad humming, ancient and distant.

The ghost of the fox girl lingered nearby, with eight beautiful and attractive snow-white tails floating behind her.

Soon, a group of distressed little foxes arrived here one after another. They were thin, their fur was stained gray by dust and mud, and many of the foxes had marks of burning on their bodies.

It seemed that they all followed the fox girl.

These little foxes had their teeth pulled out and had no ability to hunt. During the long journey, they could only pick up fruits and steal eggs and bird eggs for food. Occasionally, the fox girls would bring them food.

Suddenly, the little foxes discovered that there were many fish and shrimps floating in the pond, and they were cooked fish and shrimps.

They were overjoyed, thinking it was a gift from their ancestors. They excitedly raised their little paws, wagged their tails, and prayed for blessings and expressed their gratitude to the lonely eight-tailed fox girl.

The fox girl ignored the little foxes. She looked around in confusion, as if comparing the environment with her memory, trying to find more familiarity.

His eyes inadvertently revealed endless loneliness.

Her gaze finally fell on the entrance to the waterfall cave. She frowned in confusion and muttered to herself:

"Strange! My former cave was a hidden gem, undiscovered for hundreds of years. How come someone broke in just these few days?"

Not only was the pond outside the cave boiled into fish soup, but the cave where she had been in seclusion was actually used as a cemetery for storing coffins.

It's really depressing.

......

Chu Wuzhi walked around the market town thirty miles away, inquiring about the surrounding environment and the country it belonged to, while selling his prey to make money.

He knew that he shouldn't be obsessed with his godmother's remains, but he should at least send some fruits and vegetables back as a sacrifice on the seventh day.

"I'll go back on the seventh day and put some fruits there. After that, I'll leave here. There's absolutely no time to delay!"

Chapter 64: I still have to go back and pay my respects

According to my aunt, my mother has completed her merits and is now among the immortals, so it is not appropriate to wait for the "first seven days".

But my godmother’s body has been buried, so I still have to bring some fruits and vegetables to pay tribute to her as a token of my appreciation.

Anyway, Chu Wuji is not sure where to go to seek immortality in the future, so he can just use these few days of waiting for the "first seven days" as a time to sort out his thoughts.

Half a year is not a particularly long time. Chu Wuji also takes time to travel, so he cannot try and error everywhere. It would be better to have a general direction and ideas.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. My aunt said before she left that if this good fortune and luck can't save me from bad luck, I can still wait for the guarantee in half a year."

On the way to this town, Chu Wuji had been thinking about what his merits and fortune were like.

Since he couldn't see with his eyes, he felt uneasy and always felt empty. But when he thought about the opportunity that could be triggered in half a year, Chu Wuji suddenly felt that this merit and luck were very real!

"It's time to go out for a walk."

Chu Wuji stretched, walked out of the simple inn, and went out to order fruits and vegetables.

This town is called Sanquan Town. Its geographical location is rather awkward. To the south is Lihuo Country, and to the north is Xiaoze Country. It is located in the mountains of the border area. The national boundaries are blurred and it is difficult to tell who is in charge of it.

Anyway, in the official feng shui map of Lihuo Kingdom, this is the territory of Lihuo Kingdom, and the feng shui map of Xiaoze Kingdom also says that this is its territory.

There were conflicts, but no fighting.

Because this place is too poor, with little arable land, few minerals, and inconvenient transportation, it can only grow fruit. It is difficult to station troops and set up camp here, and it is difficult to govern.

Sanquanwei is named after three clear springs.

The water is clear and sweet, especially suitable for making wine. Now three wells have been built and shared by the people in the town.

Due to its small scale and permanent population of less than a thousand people, many items have to be pre-ordered, otherwise others may not prepare so many fruits, let alone put them on the shelves.

It would be a shame if the items were not sold and rotted away.
