What kind of Journey to the West is this?

Yanxia was shocked.

Can I even imagine this myself? My innate holy body was deceived!

Seeing it crying pitifully, Yanxia took out a bottle of Liuwei Dihuang Wan from the Xumi mustard seed and threw it to the little panda, saying soothingly:

"Don't be afraid, this is a long-term illness. I'll prescribe you a course of treatment."

She added: "Remember to eat more walnut kernels when you have time. This is good for your condition."

The red panda nodded with sobs, "You are such a good person. I will lead you to find the Queen."

Hu Asi couldn't help but watch, but he was a ghost, and no one could see him floating in the air.

Xue Shier watched the whole thing, then came up to An Yanxia and asked, "You are so amazing, Taoist priest!"

The girl was happy to be praised.

Xue Shier asked again: "So what kind of disease is this? I didn't even realize it."

"?"

"what happened?"

"It's okay... Remember to eat some walnuts too."

...............

Passing through the lush bamboo forest, you will reach Dongbo Pond.

The three characters of Dongbotan come from the inscription written by a scholar of the previous dynasty when he lived in seclusion on Wuhe Mountain: "Fish and dragons weep in the ancient cave, ghosts and spirits are sad in the cold waves."

The water in the pond is clear and cold. On the small rocky beach on the shore, there is a woman with a bun in a bun, wearing a bamboo-green ancient costume, a wide robe and big sleeves.

Throw down a handful of rice grains, and a group of fish will gather and scramble for the food.

"The guests have arrived."

Zhu Que smiled and looked back.

An Yanxia and Xue Shier walked out of the dense bamboo forest, and suddenly felt enlightened. Then they saw the Bamboo Cutter Goddess waiting for them.

When the red panda saw the Bamboo Cutter Goddess, he cried out, "Goddess, I will never steal your bamboo shoots again!"

"What mistake have you made again, you idiot?"

The Bamboo Cutter said something angrily, but seeing that the little panda didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any more questions. He rubbed its head and said, "Practice well."

Then he looked at Yan Xia, "I sensed An Jiuku's presence and knew it was An Jiuku. An Jiuku was attacking Huilong Peak before, so I couldn't leave Dongbotan. I hope An Jiuku will forgive me."

The Bamboo Cutter Goddess is a spirit of the bamboo forest and cannot move.

Yan Xia wasn't here to ask for blame, so she smiled and said, "Your Highness, you saved the monsters in the mountains at Dongbo Lake, which was already a relief for the suffering."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the Bamboo Cutter Lady asked:

"An Jiuku didn't come to me to talk about this, did he?"

"This needs to be said by Xue Shi'er."

Yanxia invites Xue Shier to come out of seclusion.

This matter was finalized by Xue Shier, so naturally it is Xue Shier's turn to negotiate with the Bamboo Cutter Queen.

There are three main contents:

An Yanxia wants to gather the monsters from Wuhe Mountain and hopes to ask the Bamboo Cutter Goddess to do some mass work.

The way to gather monsters was to set up a school and educate them. Those who succeeded in their studies could decide whether to stay or leave. Those who stayed could take the exam under her guidance to become a parade god, or they could become auxiliary gods in the various government offices of the City God's Mansion. This was also a way for them to have a proper path.

Finally, it discusses the treatment of Bamboo Cutter Lady, the rights and obligations of all parties, etc.

Xue Shier had been reciting it for the whole morning and could now speak it fluently.

The Bamboo Cutter Lady pondered and said, "I roughly understand what you mean. However, I'm afraid this kind of educational work is not easy to carry out."

"An Jiuku wants to take this opportunity to make more contributions, right?"

Yan Xia didn't hide her feelings and nodded, saying, "Educating monsters is just as great a merit as educating ordinary people. I'll be reporting to the heavens in two months, and I hope to include this in my report."

Taketori sighed and said, "Teaching monsters is easier said than done. Not only are the monsters of Wuhe Mountain feral and difficult to teach, but even if we could teach them, where would the money come from?"

"Let's not even talk about the firewood for cooking and daily food. We can be self-sufficient in the mountains. But who will pay for the school building and the tuition for the teachers?"

The Bamboo Cutter Goddess is kind and compassionate, and often helps small monsters, no matter how big or small, and is very generous.

But when it comes to expenses, this lady seems to have turned into a demon, calculating every penny.

The Bamboo Cutter Lady that Xue Shier knew was always generous and never asked when to return the money she lent.

When she saw this side of the Bamboo Cutter, she couldn't help but regret stealing bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest before.

Yan Xia said, "This is my idea, so I'll pay for it. Don't worry."

"I can't let it go."

The Bamboo Cutter Lady shook her head and said, "An Jiuku, you said money matters are easy to handle, but what about human matters?"

"If we want to set up a school, we shouldn't teach the Four Books, but we should also teach some principles of conduct and the Thousand Character Classic, right? At least there should be a few scholars."

"It's indeed easy to find scholars outside the mountains; they're everywhere. But they're all mortals, and the mountain roads are bumpy and difficult to navigate. Furthermore, they're teaching a bunch of monsters. I'm afraid the teachers will all run away in less than a month."

"If we don't look for scholars outside the mountains, we can look for them inside. But how many people in the mountains have read poetry and books? Even if we scrape the ground three feet, we still can't find a single one. So I say, this matter is not easy to handle."

This is indeed a difficulty.

An ordinary teacher would be scared to death if he came here, let alone teaching students.

Yan Xia said calmly with a smile, "The old fox fairy from Qinghu Slope has already promised me that I can be a teacher at the academy."

Donghuang Suddenly Receives Jade Talisman: Chapter 115 [The Old Fox Immortal of Zhongzhi Village]

The old fox fairy is a big monster in Wuhe Mountain. He gathers people to practice at Qinghu Slope and is also a fox fairy who is good at taking exams!

All the elements are here!

The only problem is that this old fox fairy is a bit arrogant.

To be precise: looking down on people.

Perhaps he felt that he had swallowed a few volumes of poetry and books, and that he possessed a noble character, unlike ordinary monsters. He was similar to Kong Yiji, corrupt and clumsy.

The Bamboo Cutter Lady was obviously also aware of the old fox fairy's temper. She was surprised and said, "This old fox is actually willing to agree to condescend to be your teacher!"

Hu Asi looked left and right, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Xue Shi'er had little contact with the old fox fairy, but he knew the fox's stubborn temper and was also confused.

How come I didn’t know that the old fox fairy agreed to be your teacher?

Xue Shier instinctively felt that An Yanxia was lying.

Yan Xia smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold. If Lady Bamboo Cutter doesn't believe me, tomorrow morning I will invite this old fox fairy to Dongbo Pond to discuss the establishment of the academy."

The Bamboo Cutter Lady was also skeptical and somewhat confused.

But after thinking about it, Queen Bamboo Cutter couldn't think of any benefit from An Yanxia lying to her.

If it is a lie, it will eventually be exposed. It will be useless if there is no teacher in the academy. What is the point of lying?

She nodded and said, "If the old fox fairy is really willing to come and discuss the affairs of the academy, then I will support you unconditionally."

"Then please wait a moment, Madam!"

"Waiting for good news."

Yan Xia clasped Yin and Yang in her fist, said goodbye and left.

After leaving Dongbo Lake and passing through the dense bamboo forest, Xue Shi'er and Hu Asi still couldn't figure out:

When did the old fox fairy agree?

Xue Shier had never heard An Yanxia and Yu Qinghuai talk about this.

Hu Asi was even more puzzled. He had followed An Yanxia for a long time and had never seen that distant relative have any contact with this wicked Taoist priest.

"Why has the old fox fairy changed his temperament?"

Xue Shier couldn't help but asked.

Yan Xia said happily, "You can't stop taking the medicine! I'll make you a can of Six Walnuts when I get home."

"What do you mean?"

"The old fox fairy never promised me that!"

Yan Xia held her forehead and said, "I was just trying to trick Taketori, how could you take it so seriously?"

The snow lion was shocked. Is it possible to play like this?

The most important thing is:

"But the old fox fairy really didn't agree to your request! He definitely won't go to Dongbo Pond tomorrow!"

Xue Shier felt that An Yanxia was playing with fire.

She knew the old fox fairy's temper. It would be more accurate to say that she was a reincarnated donkey rather than a fox spirit.

This old fox fairy was able to take the Yue Mansion examinations for fifteen consecutive years. He failed every time during the forty-five years, but he took the exams every time. This shows his stubborn temper.

Hu Ah Si also understood a little and commented, "Then you really said the wrong thing. I think you will be laughed at tomorrow."

Yan Xia said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry. I have plenty of means and methods!"

Xue Shier didn't believe it.

She thought that An Yanxia was a Taoist priest and a girl who had never even taken the imperial examination. How could she have the means and methods to deal with corrupt scholars?

Indeed, everyone has their own expertise. He may not be good at dealing with the miracle doctor or the official An Yanxia, but how about dealing with the corrupt scholars?

Wow, it’s a perfect match for your major!

Who hasn’t gone through three years of college entrance exams and five years of simulations?

Yan Xia smiled mysteriously and asked, "Xue Shi'er, do you know Tang poetry, Han fu, and eight-legged essays?"

...............

Wuhe Mountain, Qinghu Slope.

This Qinghu Slope is adjacent to the official road and is more than 40 miles away from Cangzhou City. There are rare grasses in front of the slope to provide shade, and exotic flowers cover the back of the slope.

Crows and tits were flying about, wild cranes and monkeys were howling, elk were walking in pairs on the hillside, badgers and foxes were walking in pairs in front of the farmyard.

A good house: with cypresses overhanging the gate, near green hills, with whitewashed walls and brickwork surrounding it. The hall is magnificent, and the building is quiet and peaceful.

Xue Shi'er was surprised and said, "It really is a wealthy family."

"What kind of wealth is this? Back in the day, I had the Su family kingdom, with mansions as numerous as clouds, countless immortal peaks and caves, tripods, jade, gold, and pearls! That was truly magnificent!"

Hu Asi looked down on him, thinking he was just a local tycoon.

Xue Shi'er crossed his arms and asked, "How have you ever seen it? Wasn't the Su Kingdom destroyed during the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"Back then! Back then!"

"Oh, your last name is Hu, and hers is Su. How could you say they were related back then?"

This cat specializes in exposing other people's sore spots.

Hu Asi was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Yanxia tied the silk thread, and Hu Asi rolled over in pain.

She shook her head and said, "Stop bickering. Save your energy for meeting this old fox fairy."

After saying that, Yanxia and the others flew up into the clouds and landed on Qinghu Slope.

When we found the manor, we first saw a gatehouse with a plaque hanging on it, inscribed with three large characters:

Zhongzhizhuang.

As soon as they landed, a big fat fox sensed their presence and ran out happily.

The fat fox looked carefully and seemed to be born with clairvoyance. He spotted Hu Ah Si and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Hu Si! What's wrong with you?"
