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

Yun Qingying now understood that this guy was making plans for the future!

He calls me senior sister and I call him brother.

On the surface, Yun Qingying's seniority can suppress Chu Wuzhi, but in private, Chu Wuzhi can ride on her back!

Although she understood the reason, Yun Qingying still felt a little unhappy for some reason.

"I don't want to recognize any random brother, nor do I want to be sworn brothers." She spoke her heart out without mercy.

Mrs. Jiang was already wiping her sweat. If she hadn't been wearing embroidered shoes and was afraid of getting them dirty, the beautiful woman would have probably rubbed her feet against each other nervously.

If someone else were to face Yun Qingying's cold and stinky face, they would probably feel ashamed and give up.

Chu Wuji continued, "Didn't you say during the duel that you would let me take back the advantage I had?"

Yun Qingying really wanted to reply immediately, I helped you cure the little fox's teeth when we met last time.

But the girl was too honest to say such words, because she liked those little foxes very much and was willing to help from the bottom of her heart, not entirely out of favor for Chu Wuji, and besides, she was also using the little foxes to practice magic.

I am also a beneficiary, I can't use this incident to offset my debt...

Yun Qingying thought about it seriously and found that nothing could make up for it. Then she thought about the martial arts competition, which had always been a knot in her heart.

If we can even out the duel this way, that would be great...

Anyway, when Chu Wuji goes up the mountain to practice in the future, he will have to call me "Senior Sister"!

"Well, okay, let's just consider it as a sworn brotherhood." Yun Qingying was a little reluctant.

Chu Wuji was firm and proactive in arranging the follow-up, placing a few large tomatoes in front of her and saying:

"You don't have to address me as brother or elder brother. Just call me 'Brother Chu' as usual. I'll be more familiar and call you 'Qingying'."

After saying that, without waiting for Yun Qingying to express her opinion, Chu Wuzhi got up and went to the kitchen to roll noodles. The girl was stunned and felt as if she was being led by the nose.

But if you really want to talk about being at a disadvantage or being taken advantage of, she didn't feel it. It seemed that Chu Wuzhi had taken a big detour and simply changed "Miss Yun" to "Qingying".

Mrs. Jiang was also a little stunned. It was... settled already?!

She psychologically expected that Chu Wuji would most likely be rejected today, but if she mentioned it a few more times, her daughter would probably agree.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wuji's seemingly abstract start led to a complete success. Without giving Yun Qingying a chance to react, he pulled it off...

"Ahem, Qingying, just treat us as a better friend. When you feel tired and bored during your training, come and chat with Wuji and ask him to take you to see the little fox."

"......Um."

Yun Qingying nodded in agreement, because there was really no point in refusing. It was just that suddenly a man of the same age called her "Qingying".

Mrs. Jiang was afraid that her daughter would regret it, so she quickly mentioned the persimmons and said:

"Qingying, try a persimmon! They say it's been blessed with some kind of frost-induced spiritual energy, and it's incredibly sweet! Several shop owners wanted to buy some along the way, so take one back for Senior Ning."

The girl with delicate features and beautiful appearance looked at the plump big fruit and indeed saw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirling around, and it was the kind of spiritual energy that she was more familiar with.

Seeing that her daughter's attention had shifted to the persimmons, Mrs. Jiang told her about her experience.

After talking for a while, Chu Wuji came out from the kitchen, holding a plate filled with several bowls, and said:

"Yangchun noodles are here."

Madam Jiang had just tasted the noodles made by Chu Wuji and knew how powerful he was, but...

This time I really don’t understand!

Noodles, soup, and seasonings are all placed separately in different bowls. How do you eat it this way?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the Yun family mother and daughter, Chu Wuji explained:

"If the noodles are soaked for too long, they won't taste good. Separate them first. When the Immortal Master wants to eat them, put them together and heat them up." Outside. Skirt'1-0, 3.7; 7.4 (4.0.7:8

Madam Jiang obviously only knows how to make soup. She suddenly said:

"That's a clever idea. It took Qingying more than two hours to get here on a cloud! Not only is the soup cold, but the noodles are almost lumpy!"

That’s how food delivery works.

Chu Wuji was afraid that "simple heating" was too vague, like the vague words "a little water" and "half a spoonful of salt" in a recipe.

He took Yun Qingying to the back kitchen, pointed to the temperature of the fire in the stove, and used the pulse rate to measure the time, teaching her in detail what "simple heating" was.

......

We had originally planned to just meet for breakfast and say goodbye, but before we knew it, it was already noon and the mist on the mountain had melted.

This time, Chu Wuji didn't run back like a fool. He asked his sour-faced sister "Kaiyun" to take him back to the waterfall pool to save time and effort.

It only takes a cup of tea!

Chu Wuji really began to doubt his life. What was the point of running back and forth?

Cardio for fat loss? Or step count?

"The waterfall pool over there is where the little foxes live."

Chu Wuzhi pointed to the front and said that he did not see the big fox fairy. He guessed that after Madam Jiang left, she turned into a human form and returned to the cave.

Yun Qingying looked over from a high altitude and saw a few small white dots jumping around by the pond, as well as an open-air stove, which was probably what Chu Wuzhi used for his daily life.

Yun Qingying had no intention of going over. She was afraid that Rua Fox would forget the time, so she had to return the food box to her master Ning Xianzhi as soon as possible.

Preparing to say goodbye, Yun Qingying said calmly:

"Then, when I think about calling you 'Brother Chu,' it adds a layer of meaning, and it feels awkward... Next time I want to see you, can I just come to this waterfall pool?"

Chu Wuzhi has already completed the little fox base. Now that the eye tempering is basically complete, he will definitely set off and will not stay for long.

"I'll be leaving here in the next couple of days to run some errands. Come whenever you want. The little foxes might still be a little scared of you, but they all know you."

"...?"

The girl with skin as white as snow turned her head and frowned at Chu Wuzhi. Her black hair swayed in the rustling autumn wind, and she looked a little lonely.

"When can you finish your work and come back?"

"...Uh, not sure." He smiled apologetically.

Chu Wuzhi also wanted to return to this small base as soon as possible. Although he had not stayed here for a long time, many memorable things happened here.

What's more, he relies entirely on his feet to travel, and the time for route planning is quite tight, so he can't afford to spend a few days running back to check on his nest when he has nothing to do.

Yun Qingying was silent for a while. She found that this guy was really annoying!

She just said that "Brother Chu" had become difficult to pronounce, but she didn't say she didn't want to call him that or that she didn't want to meet him anymore...

The girl pursed her lips and didn't say much in the end. After bidding Chu Wuji farewell with her eyes, she boarded the cloud and prepared to fly away.

Seeing Chu Wuji standing there watching her and her mother leave, Yun Qingying hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said goodbye:

"Brother Chu, brother... Ahem, see you next time, see you on the mountain!"

"Well, see you on the mountain next time with Qingying~"

"Xianzhi, this is it. I heard that many years ago, there was a White Snake Temple here, and a battle between a monk and a snake demon took place there."

Taoist Jiuwu told Ning Xianzhi the information he had obtained.

All I can say is that people who are looking for alcohol everywhere are indeed unusual in their intelligence channels.

A while ago, she went to some friends' wineries as a routine to "visit" them, and ordered some vintage wines. By the way, she asked about the rumors about snake monsters, and learned about the old story of the White Snake Temple.

She recently brought Ning Xianzhi here for an on-site visit to confirm the situation at the place where the White Snake Temple legend took place.

The two learned about the experience roughly from the county annals and the mouths of some long-lived elderly people.

The written records in the county annals cannot be fully trusted, because they involve the political achievements of officials and are definitely written from a perspective that is favorable to the officials at the time.

However, by comparing the information from multiple sources, we can basically get a pretty good idea of ​​the situation.

"The White Snake Temple...the white snake that attacked the two people at that time, and it also had merits and incense on it, is most likely Bai Sujin."

Ning Xianzhi murmured.

After more than ten years of being exposed to wind and rain and without anyone repairing it, the White Snake Temple has basically lost the scene of its former prosperity.

The bricks and tiles on the roof, the tables and incense burners inside the house, everything that could be used or sold disappeared, most of them taken away by the people.

A section of the wall collapsed, leaving wind blowing in from all sides, and only some insects, rats, cats and dogs stayed inside.

The temple is very dilapidated, and the local customs have also become "shabby".

Originally, the local area had good weather, good governance and harmonious people. Every household lived and worked in peace and contentment. Even if they didn't get rich, they had no problem having enough food and clothing.

After the White Snake Temple fell into ruin, the casino used this incident to advertise and attract people to gamble, saying that it was a shortcut to becoming rich and powerful landlords.

Because of hundreds of years of peace and stability, many families had surplus food savings. For a time, countless people were tempted by the evil spirits, but they all gave up their gambling addiction and lost all their surplus food.

The only one who gets rich is the casino dealer. He knows when to stop making money and runs away after making a profit, for fear that the people will use the same force to destroy the casino as they did the White Snake Temple.

In an agricultural society, to put it bluntly, people depend on the weather for their livelihood. The occasional drought or flood is a disaster for the people.

Within two years, a dragon appeared here and a flood occurred. Before the people could escape the shadow of the casino, the flood destroyed their harvest.

If the higher-level prefectures and counties had not come to provide disaster relief, the number of people who starved to death would probably be countless.

As for now, this place has become a collection point for incense for Buddhist temples, and people rely on offering incense money in exchange for peace.

The monks in the temple wore golden robes and rode in golden nanmu carriages, while the people outside were starving and skinny.

The temple's abbot claimed that this was the karma accumulated by the people from offering sacrifices to evil spirits more than ten years ago! Now was the time to cleanse this karma. The more incense money one offered, the more sincere one's heart, and the faster one would atone for their sins.

Before Ning Xianzhi came here, he had been thinking that if Bai Sujin had done anything wrong here, he would just punish her. But he had never expected to see this scene...

The Jiuwu Taoist had lost all interest in drinking and shook his head.

"This damn place... Counting five hundred years ago, looking five hundred years forward, there will never be the peaceful days we had under the White Snake's protection again. Tsk tsk tsk!"

*

After finding out about the past of the White Snake Temple and learning about Bai Sujin's experience, Ning Xianzhi did not find any further clues.

Bai Sujin seemed to have disappeared, but for the next ten years, she mostly traveled around with the child.

Ning Xianzhi and Jiuwu Taoist returned to Shenxiao Sect together, and Jiuwu Taoist followed them into the house.

When Yun Qingying saw her master coming back, she immediately followed the "simple heating" method to heat up the bowl of noodles and brought it to Ning Xianzhi.

"Wow~ Qingying can cook? Let me help your master taste the saltiness first!" Taoist Jiuwu was surprised. He took the Yangchun noodles and prepared to try a small mouthful of noodles and a big sip of soup.

She has a very good relationship with Ning Xianzhi and doesn't mind this kind of sharing.

"This was made by Chu Wuji, who went up the mountain with me. He also brought back a few 'Frost Spiritual Persimmons' for Master to try."

Yun Qingying was about to tell him the whole story of their meeting, but Ning Xianzhi immediately used the "immobilization technique" to freeze the Drunken Taoist.

Ning Xianzhi, who had an ethereal temperament, took a persimmon and stuffed it into her friend's mouth, then snatched the noodles from her hand, thus lifting the "immobilization spell".

Jiuwu Taoist was relatively indifferent. He was content as long as he had something to eat. He didn't care much about his friend's "stinginess" and just muttered:

"Xianzhi, why are you still protecting your food now?"

Ning Xianzhi found another jar of wine and silenced his friend's resentment. He seriously questioned Yun Qingying:

"Qingying, where did you meet that child?"

Chapter 78: Fox Fairy Mount

Yun Qingying had previously promised Chu Wuzhi to keep his whereabouts secret, and even took an elective course on "social etiquette" from him.

However, now that Chu Wuji had left to attend to his important matters, Yun Qingying had also planned to inform her master in advance, so she no longer concealed the truth and told him about the encounter she had a while ago.

Yun Qingying felt that she and Chu Wuji had met several times and had been together secretly for a long time, but when she talked about it with her master Ning Xianzhi, she found that she had only spoken a few words about these three meetings.

After no news from him, we met by chance on a moonlit night. A young man with white frost on his hair was pushing a cart and sitting by the stream, quietly wiping away tears of longing for his family.

They agreed to meet four days later. Chu Wuzhi took the mother and daughter to see the big tree full of little white foxes, and then helped the little white foxes treat their teeth.

"...The last time we met, Chu Wuji said he had taken care of the little white foxes' future lives and that they no longer had any worries. He was going out on business and would not be returning to the waterfall pond in the near future."
