Chapter 118 You should learn more from your senior brothers! "Please spare it first, sir!" The bean soldier, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, rushed forward to kill the evildoer, but was stopped by Lin Jue. He paused, but did not stiffen at all. He turned around and attacked the fox soldier beside him. These foxes were either already frightened out of their wits or filled with grief and anger. Once Dou Bing left, they all became dead souls under the sword. Lin Jue first picked up his sword and went to look at his own fox—— There was a small pit in the mud and dead leaves. In the dark pit, where no moonlight could reach, lay a white fox. The contrast between black and white was clear, and the fox was struggling hard to get up. When it saw Lin Jue, it was stunned for a moment, as if it was curious why he was not fighting with the dog. So it turned its head again and looked around. After it had almost figured out the situation, it continued to climb out of the pit. I shook my head and felt a little dizzy. It stumbled forward two steps, but didn't fall. It just shook its head again, perhaps thinking the problem was in its brain. "Are you OK?" "Woo..."
Lin Jue didn't understand what it said. Maybe it doesn't know it itself. He then checked it and found that it was not seriously injured, just a little dizzy, so he let it fight with its drunken boxing there and walked to the old fox with his sword in hand. The old fox had a broken tail, injured hind legs, and had several darts stuck in its body. It was barely breathing, but it was still crawling on the ground and had even crawled some distance. The monster's tenacious vitality is fully reflected in it. When it saw Lin Jue coming, it stopped. The sound of fighting continued all around. It didn't need to turn its head to look, and it didn't have the strength to do so, but it knew that it must be those two or three soldiers and Kun Dao who were killing its children and grandchildren. When he raised his eyelids, he saw the Taoist priest covered in moonlight, with a bloody sword in his hand that also reflected a cold light, staring at him. "I heard that you were divided into two sides before, and you often fought with weapons. I guess you won because you joined the demon king, right?" "What... do you want to say..." The old fox was very weak, but he could see through his heart at a glance. According to rumors, foxes are often clever, able to see through people's hearts and bewitch people. This is mostly true, but after they have entered the evil way, even their hearts are no longer clear, so naturally they have lost many of their clever skills. But they are still smart. "Senior, you are also a fox demon, and you are not young anymore. I picked up this fox from the mountain and raised it by myself. I would like to ask you, do you know its origin?" The old fox had gone astray, but at this moment the fox was about to die, and Lin Jue had something to ask it, so he casually uttered a few respectful words. "Why... should I tell you..." "How about giving Senior a quick death in exchange?" "Hehehe..." The old fox lay on the ground, laughing, with blood foaming from his mouth.
"Don't you want to?" "According to rumors... fox spirits are always... smart..." The old fox said intermittently: "The Taoist is kind-hearted... you won't torture me... Besides, you... have a fox... you... have a relationship... so you won't torture me in front of it..." "..." Lin Jue shook his head helplessly, without saying anything more, he stood up and picked up the sword. The old fox closed his eyes. Just as the sword was about to stab, it opened its eyes again, as if it had finally decided to tell him: "Although... foxes have many clans... categories... but I have lived for hundreds of years... I can still tell whether it is an ordinary fox or a fox demon..." "What do you mean?" The old fox opened his eyes but said nothing. After a short rest, it spoke, as if it had recovered a little, and shouted at the top of its voice: "Go and invite Rizu!" Lin Jue's eyes immediately narrowed. The long sword suddenly stabbed down! With a puff! The life is over! Turning around, he saw that the battle around him was almost over, and most of the foxes had either been killed or had already fled. "Li Zu..." Lin Jue thought about it. Among the several pieces of paper I saw in the temple before, there seemed to be one that said that there was a forest in a certain village where one could not enter but exit, and that there were even pear trees that grew out to harm people. If it were nearby... Then those fellow Taoists from Xianyuan Temple whom I met at dusk today should be going there. Most likely they fought, right? Invite Li Zu? I'm afraid Li Zu can't take care of himself. Lin Jue shook the blood off the sword and saw that the three bean soldiers had walked back to his side. The little junior sister had also returned. His own fox had fallen badly and was still practicing drunken boxing, but it was fine when he asked about it. It was quite magical. "The fox demon has been causing trouble here for a long time and has harmed many people. Thank you three warriors for your help tonight!" Lin Jue chanted a spell, first calling back all the arrows shot by the archers and putting them into the quiver to avoid loss and waste, then he chanted: "Return to Lingdou and the soldiers to the Great Wall." The three bean soldiers suddenly shrank and turned into beans. Lin Jue took it back into his arms and then looked at the village in the distance. The village was very quiet. If there were people there, they would have woken up long ago, but they just didn't dare to make a sound. If there were any dogs in the village, they would surely have woken up. “Where is the dog in the village? "Please come for a moment!"
Lin Jue gathered all his magic power and shouted loudly. The night was quiet to begin with, and the sound almost echoed through the mountains. After a while, there were some rustling sounds ahead, and pairs of eyes flashing yellow-green light appeared under the moonlight. They were hiding in the grass, quietly looking at him and the foxes on the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound. Sure enough, there was a live dog. How pathetic... Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh, then he said seriously: "People raised you to guard the house, but the foxes became spirits and possessed by demons. There were too many of them, so it's not your fault that we couldn't defeat them. However, the main culprit of the fox demon has been eliminated by us, and most of the foxes have died here. It's time to be proud of yourself. "Some wild foxes have escaped and fled into the forests. It is not easy for us Taoists to track them. This is your expertise, so please help us. Go and bite them to death, which will be considered as fulfilling our duty to protect our family." Lin Jue pointed at the two old fox corpses on the ground, bowed to them, thought for a moment, and added: "These foxes all have a dead smell, a foul odor, just like the foxes on the ground. If you encounter one that doesn't have that smell, you can let it go." The local dog is smart, you look at me and I look at you. There was silence for quite a while. At some point, a low roar seemed to be squeezed out of the throat. Gradually, it turned from one roar to two roars. As the roars increased, the volume also increased, and gradually it became a roar. "Wang Wang Wang..." A large number of dogs barking were heard. The group of dogs rushed to the nearest fox corpse, sniffed it, turned around and rushed towards the forest in anger, vying with each other and looking very aggressive. Lin Jue looked down—— The fox at his feet stopped his drunken boxing and instead ran to the nearby old fox, lowered its head to sniff it, then raised its claws to hit it. "come back." The fox looked up at him, then retracted his fist, walked back to him, and lay down as usual, licking his paws and washing his face with them, doing the same movements as the cat in the temple. There was a rustling sound nearby... The old man pushed aside the thorns and walked out. "Is the old man okay?" Lin Jue saluted him. "That's great." "it's okay no problem……" The old man's steps were unsteady, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed extremely shocked. Although he had just hidden deep in the forest, the moonlight was bright and clear, allowing him to see a little bit even with his dim eyes. Moreover, the explosion of fire, the curses and shouts of killing could probably be heard throughout the mountain, not to mention the fox corpses and scattered weapons on the ground. "Gods..." I feel ashamed when I think back to when I was in the Taoist temple and I looked down on these two Taoist priests because they were young. "Thank you, God!" The old man, whose age was unknown, bowed deeply to them.
"No need to be polite, old sir." "Since the village is peaceful now except for the goblins, I would like to invite the two Taoist priests to rest at my home. You can also have a hot meal tomorrow." "No hurry, no rush..." Lin Jue frowned and thought about it. What was the name of the village where the tree demon was? It seems to be called Gongcun? "Excuse me, old man, is Gong Village nearby?" "Gongcun? Gongcun is not close, but not far either, about 20 to 30 miles away." The old man looked at them, "Do you want to go? I can take you there tomorrow!" "really……" Lin Jue thought about it for a moment. Judging from the old fox's tone, this "Li Zu" seemed to be more powerful than them? I wonder how the fellow Taoists in Xianyuan Temple are doing! "We are in a hurry, and it is dark and the roads are slippery. There is no need to bother the old man. Just tell us how to get there." "Okay." The old man thought about it and realized that he was not able to see clearly at night due to his blurry eyesight and would be a burden to them. He pointed ahead and said, "There is a small river at the entrance of our village. There is a path beside the river. If you follow the path downstream, you will reach Gong Village. Gong Village is also full of pears." "it is good!" As they were talking, the fox had already gone into the mountain, found the old man's mule that had run away in fear, and led it back. Lin Jue helped the old man onto the mule and walked forward. After sending him into the village, they said goodbye to him. The two brothers and sisters turned back and walked to the river, heading downstream. "Brother, that fox can spit ice. It would be great if we could learn it." "What time are you still thinking about this?" "Brother, my clothes are torn." "Yeah……" Lin Jue looked at her in the moonlight and saw that her robe was tattered, especially on her back, where many places were strips of cloth, revealing the skin underneath. Some of them were bruised, and some had shallow bloodstains. I think they were all caused by the fox soldiers who chopped her down and turned her into a stone sculpture. After all, even if the foxes were weak, a knife would leave marks on the stone. But she said nothing, only said that her clothes were torn, but did not mention a word about the injuries on her body. It seems like I can't feel it either. "Junior sister, in this day and age, the path of cultivation also requires injuries and sufferings..." Lin Jue took off his clothes and put them on her. "Thank you, Senior Brother!" The little sister seemed not to hear what he said, and just asked, "Senior Brother! Why did the fox call you despicable?" "Who knows?" "What did you do with it?" "We beat it."
"Oh……" The junior sister looked solemn and was thinking seriously. It must be that the senior brother used some intelligence and the fox was unwilling to lose to him. He was also jealous of his wisdom, so he spoke rudely. I should learn more from my seniors! "Your clothes are suitable for repairing roads in the mountains. With your messy hair and dirty face after repairing the roads, the only thing missing is a broken bowl." “Stone dust isn’t dirty!” "Ha ha……" Under the moonlight, the two men held swords and headed towards Gong Village.
