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

The mountains and the sea in the east gradually showed a hint of paleness.

Tushan Yourong planned to take a short nap and wake up at dawn to experience the long-lost feeling of "opening her eyes in the morning light".

She said, "Dawn is the time of Shaoyang. You can try your luck. Maybe you'll be as lucky as last night and receive the spiritual energy of dawn right away."

"it is good!"

Chu Wuji wanted to say "Thank you for your guidance, fairy", but he was afraid that if he thanked her too much, the word "thank you" would become cheap, so he gave her a grateful look.

But the fox fairy ignored his gaze, stretched out her sexy and beautiful body curves, and then fell asleep holding the little white fox.

"...Is she planning to use this brief period as a ghost to witness the changing weather and the myriad changes of the human world?"

Chu Wuji kept the words in his stomach and didn't think about it anymore. He faced the direction of dawn, emptied his mind, and waited for the sunrise with full concentration.

The first rays of dawn are soft and not too dazzling.

Chu Wuji didn’t know if it was because he had received a ray of Taiyin Moonlight’s spiritual energy that tempered his eyes, but he discovered that the morning light was actually slightly purple.

The purple is very charming!

"I've never seen this before. Could this be the 'Purple Air Coming from the East'? It really is a wisp of purple air floating from the east of sunrise..."

Chu Wuji was surprised. In the past, he thought that many words were artistic and needed imagination to understand.

I didn't expect it to be all simple and concise sketches.

The little foxes did not see the so-called "purple air", and they all sat beside him, looking at him curiously.

Dawn is very short. In just a moment, the sun rises completely, and the light and heat gradually appear.

The little foxes were still waiting for Chu Wuji's special reaction to see what progress he could make.

Then, they saw Chu Wuji suddenly covering his eyes and crying out in tears:

"Why is it so dazzling!"

Tushan Yourong had rested for less than half an hour when she woke up, as if she had slept soundly all night. She was full of energy and looked at the sun with a happy expression.

After feeling the morning for a while, she finally laughed at Chu Wuji:

"The sun's aura is the most difficult to capture. After dawn, you must stop immediately. After that, you can only wait for dusk and sunset."

You didn't remind me beforehand. Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier...

Chu Wuji suppressed his complaints and asked:

"Fairy Tushan, are there any other things you should pay attention to? Tell me all at once!"

"Humans have a solar term clock, right?"

"Well, the Beginning of Spring, Waking of Insects, and Grain in Ear are used to guide farmers in farming."

After Chu Wuzhi finished speaking, he looked at the fox fairy curiously, not understanding why she brought up this.

"It may seem like a guide to farming time, but in reality, it also marks the subtle changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A day has morning and evening, each divided into twelve hours. A year has four seasons, each divided into twenty-four solar terms. If you are determined, you must constantly cultivate your body."

"..."

This is even scarier than going to school at 8 am every day and having full classes every day!

Chu Wu Ji decided not to make things difficult for himself for the time being. He would first train his eyes to be able to "see ghosts" before considering more things.

Pay attention to the three times of dawn, dusk and midnight, and just be a poop scooper at other times.

Chu Wuji waited until his eyes recovered, sat up straight, and asked:

"Fairy Tushan, I have something to tell you. I hope you don't think I'm being impatient... I promised to take good care of these little foxes, and I won't break my promise. But I want to find out the whereabouts of the Scorpion Demon."

The Scorpion Demon stole the godmother's virtuous body a few days ago. He couldn't have escaped too far, so he might have left behind all kinds of clues.

If he went out to investigate after a month or two, it would be winter and snowy by then, and the clues would have been buried under the thick snow. How would he search for them?

Tushan Yourong did not express dissatisfaction with his worries. She was tolerant but had her own requirements. She said:

"Yes, the conditions I offer will not change. I will guide you in your training for half a year, and you must also take good care of these little foxes.

If you can heal their teeth or store enough food for two years, it would be okay to leave early."

Chu Wuji nodded confidently:

"I promised Fairy Tushan what I would do. I will never break my promise, and I will not be perfunctory in fulfilling it!"

Tushan Yourong nodded slightly and waved her hand to indicate that Chu Wuji could move freely and did not have to stay here constrained.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Chu Wuji decided to go to Sanquan Market and buy some fruit. If he could buy saplings to plant, he wouldn't have to run so hard in the future.

"I just got some gold coins from Rat Taoist, so I'm going to Sanquan Market to do some shopping."

Shenxiao Sect, Dalei Mountain, Zhuyun Peak,

After Ning Xianzhi brought the Yun family mother and daughter to the mountain, he guided Yun Qingying in her practice every day. Yun Qingying had a solid foundation and made rapid progress, showing signs of rapid development.

Ning Xianzhi was often pleased with the outstanding performance of her disciples, but in her free time, she would often stand on the edge of the cliff, staring into the distance with an expressionless face, and it was difficult to tell what she was thinking from her expression.

On this day, the Drunken Taoist came riding on a cloud, looking very happy.

Ning Xianzhi thought she had found out the clue about the snake demon, but unexpectedly, the Taoist Jiuwu started to say:

"Xianzhi, the fox fairy wine that Sanquanwei recently opened tastes amazing! Come with me to buy a few more jars~"

Ning Xianzhi thought of what Chu Wuzhi said, that she had stayed in the mountains for too long and should walk around, but she really didn't feel like it at the moment and was afraid of spoiling her friend's interest.

She then said, "Qingying, you've just learned the 'Cloud Leaping Technique' recently. Accompany Senior Jiujiu to buy some wine as a practice."

According to the sect's seniority, Yun Qingying should call Jiuwu Taoist "Uncle Master", or at the very least "Elder", but Jiuwu Taoist thinks these titles make him sound too old, and doesn't like being called that, so he only accepts the title "Senior Sister".

But if Yun Qingying called Jiuwu Taoist "Senior Sister", it would be disrespectful to the elders. Calling her "Senior" would be the most appropriate.

Yun Qingying saluted politely, and then said:

"Senior Jiujiu, I'm not very familiar with the 'Cloud Soaring Technique', so I might fall behind and slow down the process. Please bear with me!"

Taoist Jiuwu waved his hand and said generously:

"Small problem, buy a jar of Fox Fairy Wine and bring it back for your master to taste, and make her regret it!"

Chapter 70: The young man has white hair, the young woman is worried

From the waterfall pool to Sanquanwei, there is no muddy road trampled by pedestrians in the past, and the whole way is mountainous.

Fortunately, Chu Wuzhi had walked this road twice. Although it was still a little unfamiliar, he was sure of the direction, so he just had to stride forward.

This time, Chu Wuzhi was accompanied by a few lively little foxes. He could take them to Sanquan Market to pick out some food that the tribe members liked to eat.

They set off in the morning, and Chu Wuzhi ran almost the entire way, which increased his speed a lot.

"If we keep running at this speed, we should be able to reach Sanquanwei just after nightfall."

Chu Wuji thought about it and decided to stop and go to the stream to drink water and rest.

He could hold on, but the little foxes were almost exhausted from running. When they reached the stream, they all fell down with their tongues hanging out. It took them a long time to recover, and they made a few complaining "hum" sounds at Chu Wu Ji.

Chu Wuji touched their bellies and couldn't help but feel funny:

"Is that how my aunt looked at me when I was chasing after the big white snake the other day?"

He muttered to himself and squatted by the stream to wash his face, only to find that his reflection in the water had grown white hair!

There are not just one or two white hairs. The roots and ends of the hair are basically white. Only the middle part is still black. The black and white alternate, as if it was deliberately highlighted.

"When did it appear? It shouldn't have appeared this morning, otherwise Fairy Tushan would have reminded me. I don't feel any discomfort..."

Chu Wuji guessed that this was due to the spiritual energy of Taiyin Yuehua. The spiritual energy that he forcibly took over was tempering and affecting his body.

"After a while, the black hair should grow back, right? When we get back, I'll ask Fairy Tushan."

Suddenly, the whimpering little fox next to him called a few times towards the other side of the stream and waved its paws, reminding Chu Wuzhi to look over there.

Chu Wuji took a few glances at it and didn't find anything worthy of attention.

He focused his eyes and tried to stare over there with the same eyes as when he was looking at the moon. Sure enough, he saw a few wandering shadows.

It turned out to be a hanged ghost. His tongue was extremely long, hanging down to his collarbone, and his face was dark blue. It was obvious that he died of suffocation. His eyes were dull and he looked confused, without any ferocity.

This is probably the remnant of the dead soul in the world. If you pretend not to see it, there shouldn't be any problem.

Chu Wuji was a little excited: "Now I can see ghosts too. Next time I run into someone who can cast spells, I won't be so passive and helpless!"

The "I can see ghosts too" in his words attracted the attention of the hanged ghosts, and several hostile exclamation marks seemed to appear above their heads.

"!!!"

When Chu Wuji saw the hanged ghost flying over from the other side, he quickly picked up a few little foxes and ran away.

*

Just as night fell, Chu Wuji successfully entered Sanquanwei.

Resting at sunset is the slow and leisurely tone of life in this market town.

Many residents went back to their houses to rest, shops were closed, and only a few people were chatting.

They looked at Chu Wuji with surprise at his return, but none of them came forward to talk to him, just a simple eye contact.

Chu Wuzhi went straight to the fruit shop and met the clerk again.

"Sir, didn't you say you were going to pay respects to your family? Your hair... Hey, I'm so sorry. The deceased wouldn't want the living to be so sad. It will shorten their lifespan!"

The shop assistant mistakenly thought that Chu Wuji was missing his loved ones while offering sacrifices to his family, and was so sad that his hair turned white overnight.

Chu Wuji was embarrassed to explain his eye training, so he could only acquiesce to the other party's misunderstanding with a subtle expression.

"When I was paying tribute to my mother, these little foxes kept me company. When I got closer, I realized their teeth had been pulled out. They couldn't hunt to survive, so they could only find fruits to eat. So I thought of getting some fruit trees to plant."

The shop assistant roughly understood the situation. He looked at the mouths of the little foxes and said regretfully:

"Young foxes still have a chance to shed their teeth, but adult foxes don't. They're lucky to be alive."

This shop assistant is secretly a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. He can directly use magic to cure these foxes, but he is afraid of being seen by outsiders.

It’s not that there is a taboo, but they are afraid that the tranquility of Sanquanwei will be disturbed.

Sanquanwei is secretly one of the secluded places for the disciples of Shenxiao Sect. Some disciples help the sect manage the medicinal fields, fruit trees, and brew wine here, which can be regarded as a secluded practice.

They are happy to see occasional passers-by visiting them, stop to chat for a few minutes, and listen to other people's life experiences. Even a chance meeting is a kind of fate.

But if the news gets out, there will definitely be a large number of mortals coming to join in the fun, and this place will become a bustling place for making money.

At that time, they will be forced to set up a barrier and hide for decades.

Therefore, the shop assistant planned to wait and cast spells on the little foxes while Chu Wuzhi was not paying attention.

"If you want to buy some fruit trees, that's fine. Come with me and I'll pick a few to plant."

Near the Fox Spring Winery, there is a fruit forest that was planted by the winery for making wine. Surprisingly, the fruit trees are evergreen all year round and ripen every season!

Chu Wuji had never heard of this kind of sapling. In his impression, fruit trees had to go through spring and summer to develop and only then could they have a good harvest in autumn, right?

The guy made up an excuse to explain it, but there was no way to verify it:

"I don't know why, but this orchard passed down from our ancestors is like this. I guess the fox fairy back then wanted to come here often to drink fruit wine, so he secretly used his magical powers, right?"

Chu Wuji suddenly realized that it made sense. It turned out that it was the work of Tushan Yourong back then!

He picked a few fruit trees and bought a jar of unopened fox fairy wine. He used the silver that the Rat Taoist showed him to pay the bill and then began to load these large items onto the cart.

It was a rare opportunity to come to the market, so Chu Wuji quickly bought some pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Otherwise, his taste buds would degenerate if he kept eating grilled fish without seasoning there every day.

It is worth mentioning that the grocery store did not sell pots and pans, so the owner directly took out the ones from his own kitchen and sold them to him. They were very new, as if they had never been used.

While loading the truck, Chu Wuji asked the clerk for information:

"Do you know where I can post a missing person notice or something like that?"

The shop assistant looked at Chu Wuji with sympathy and sighed at his miserable life.

What a miserable person they are! Their loved one passed away, their hair turned white overnight, and now they are asking how to find someone. I'm afraid that other relatives have been separated again.

None of the relatives around me are safe!

"If you're heading south, the best place to announce it is Lihuo Capital. If you're heading north, walk 15 miles along the main road and pass a pass to enter Yunze Township in Xiaoze Country."
