You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 144 Choosing a Husband

Dove occupying magpie's nest?

Looking at the face on the lotus pond that looked exactly like the Bodhisattva, Zuo Chen's brows slowly furrowed together.

After thinking for a moment, he finally decided not to take action.

The other person's spiritual energy was really clean, and he didn't have any karma. He didn't look like a wicked monster. Zuo Chen wasn't the kind of Taoist who would get excited when he saw a monster. He should observe him for a while to avoid hurting a good person.

On the other hand, there was no movement from Jiu'e in Zuo Chen's sleeve.

Jiu'e was a very capable person when he was alive. Even if he is only left with thoughts now, he still has basic judgment ability.

If the one on the lotus pond was really a thief, then this thought would have popped up long ago and he would have rushed forward and exploded.

It is better to wait until the surroundings become quiet, and then go and ask this "great master" in person.

Led by the red-haired fox, Zuo Chen and his party sat on the ground at the fox banquet. There were no cups or plates here. The wine was poured on the spot by the fox-headed maid. Zuo Chen took a sip and found it unexpectedly delicious.

If you savor the flavor carefully, it feels like hundreds of fruits are competing for fragrance in your mouth.

It was a pot of excellent monkey wine.

Just as I was wondering where the foxes got this good wine, I suddenly heard a strange, slightly high-pitched voice next to my ear:

"How is it, Taoist? Is my wine delicious?"

When he turned his head, he saw the monkey who had just stuffed fruit into the young man's mouth coming closer to him.

He was wearing a coarse linen garment, and looked six parts human and four parts monkey. He held various berries in his hands and threw them into his mouth one by one, smacking his lips and saying:

"I have been picking the freshest fruits all over the mountains and fields, selecting the sweetest spiritual springs, and using these ingredients to make wine. It took me a long time! But I didn't expect that you, an outsider, would get the bargain."

He turned his head to look at Zuo Chen, with a hint of warning in his eyes:
"If you behave yourself, then you are a guest. After the banquet tonight, you can come find me and I will give you another pot of wine. But if you come here with the belief of slaying demons and monsters... don't blame us for being rude!"

When he finished speaking, Zuo Chen could see several unfriendly glances coming from the side.

The monsters that were playing with the little foxes before all gathered not far away, staring in the direction of Zuo Chen and his group, their eyes full of vigilance towards these uninvited guests.

Zuo Chen smiled helplessly: "It's a good day, I won't be so unromantic. Besides, I don't have any intention of slaying demons and monsters."

"That's the best." Monkey obviously didn't quite believe what Zuo Chen said.

The donkey next to him snorted after hearing the monkey's muttering, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Even if all of you here are tied together, you are no match for me. Even I, Master Donkey, may not be able to beat you. Who are you trying to threaten?"

The donkey's words offended the monkey, which immediately made him angry.

"You stupid ass! What do you mean? You're being treated as a mount and you're so proud of it!"

"Hehe, I'm just helping the immortal, it's fate. But you, a wild monkey, are running around all over the mountains. I'm afraid you don't have enough food to eat."

It was visible to the naked eye that the hair on the monkey's head stood up and demonic energy was leaking out. He clenched his fists and reached out to hit the donkey. The donkey was not afraid either. He stomped his two hooves on the ground and actually produced a few strands of true qi. His momentum was no less than that of the monkey.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Zuo Chen could only sigh helplessly. He waved his hand lightly, and his Taoist robe rose up without wind. The gentle wind blew and fell on the monkey and the donkey.

They were actually pressed so hard that they couldn't move!

"Don't argue."

The sound was like a bell, and the rage in the monkey's heart was instantly suppressed and disappeared.

He turned his head to look at Zuo Chen and was shocked.

This method...

Really awesome!
Is it the secrets that humans talk about or the so-called supernatural powers?
He no longer argued with the donkey, but bowed to Zuo Chen, then turned and left.

Zuo Chen turned his head to glance at Master Li, who immediately shrank his head and smiled awkwardly:
"Master, I just can't stand hearing that monkey showing off in front of you just now."

Zuo Chen knocked on Donkey Grandpa’s head.

"Don't be so angry next time. You have some experience in Taoism. If your temperament is not peaceful, it will be difficult to make further progress."

Hearing Zuo Chen's words, Donkey Uncle took it seriously and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had taken note of it.

On the side, the monkey ran to the other monsters, half bent over, and lowered his voice:
"The means are appalling, the methods are strange, but there is really no malice."

"These foxes are too careless. How dare they bring back anyone?" The wild boar put his hand on his forehead and sighed repeatedly. "I specifically told them that they can go out and capture people, but they must capture scholars and woodcutters. Anyone wearing armor, carrying a sword, or a Taoist priest should not be touched. In the end, they still captured a powerful king and brought a Taoist priest back..."

"The Master dotes on them too much. They don't know the evil in people's hearts. This is a good thing."

"That's true."

At this point, Dang Lujun, who had been sitting silently beside him, suddenly asked:
"Tell me, is that Taoist the immortal who threw the mountain down a few days ago?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the words discussed by the other monsters got stuck in their throats and they couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

In the end, it was the tiger who started the fight:

"There are very few humans in the deep forest. A Taoist priest like this is accompanied by a donkey with the same strength as us... the possibility is very high."

"Should we be more respectful then?"

"I think we should stop making trouble in front of others." Several monsters were still allergic to the Taoist's identity. After thinking it over, they felt that it would be better for them not to look for Zuo Chen.

……

The monkey and the donkey were making a lot of noise, and Hu Wen, who was pretending to be dead, also heard the quarrel, so he raised his head and looked sideways in the direction where the sound came from.

He saw Zuo Chen at first sight!
A feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart, and Hu Wen began to wriggle on the ground, moving towards Zuo Chen.

But he was tied up tightly and his mouth was blocked by an apple, so he couldn't move fast just by rubbing like this.

When I was halfway up, I suddenly heard a fox cheering not far away:

"The young lady is coming out!"

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the sedan chair, even Hu Wen who was crawling on the ground.

I saw foxes playing musical instruments and singing, flanking the road on the left and right. There were gongs being played over there and drums being played over there. Soft female singing drifted out from the sedan chair on the wind:
"Today is a beautiful day, and I invite you to come. Let's sing and dance happily, and I hope you will feel relaxed."

A bare hand stretched out from behind the red curtain and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

But at a glance, the person in the sedan chair was not a beautiful girl, but a pure white fox.

Hu Wen just took a look and was a little dazed.

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful fox.

It was not how shiny the fur was, nor how beautiful the body was. If he had to say, Hu Wen only felt that the white fox's face was extremely charming. Although it was a fox, in a trance, he seemed to see a beautiful woman sitting in the sedan, lying lazily on her side, with only a hint of seductive eyes, which was captivating.

He was so absorbed in watching the apple that the apple in his mouth rolled to the ground, but his mouth was still open.

With a smile in his eyes, the white fox jumped down from the sedan chair and landed lightly on the ground.

She first glanced at the many fox fairies in front of her. The foxes that had already transformed but were wearing messy makeup immediately surrounded her and posed coquettishly in front of the white fox, as if hoping that the young lady would look at them more.

The white fox looked at their pitch-black skin with disdain, flicked its tail and walked past.

After walking around twice more, he suddenly found Zuo Chen who had been sitting next to him.

The white fox stared straight at Zuo Chen and raised its head as if wanting to take a closer look.

Zuo Chen reached out and touched his chin.

It seems that this fox has good vision.

Then Zuo Chen saw that the white fox was suddenly frightened by something. It cried out softly, took two steps back, huddled into a ball, and trembled with fear.

"Taoist, you are so handsome, and you can scare foxes. You look like a mountain, and you look like fire and light. I dare not be with you. I feel numb and uncomfortable."

Zuo Chen: “…”

No, I am such a gentle, peaceful and kind young man, what is so scary about me?

Caiyi couldn't help but giggle quietly while covering her mouth.

As a result, after taking a look at Caiyi, the white fox quickly shook its head:

"You're a little scary, too. It's too hot, and there are so many people around. It's dizzying. I won't choose you either."

Caiyi stopped laughing halfway through.

It was Zuo Chen's turn to be happy.

After bypassing Zuo Chen and his companions, the fox looked left and right, and finally saw Hu Wen among the pile of monsters.

With a cheer, he ran over there quickly.

He ran to Hu Wen, circled around him twice, and said happily:

"This guy is handsome and not scary! Let's choose him!"

Hearing what the white fox said, the surrounding foxes cheered as well. Like a wave, they gathered around Hu Wen, who was still bewildered, and lifted him up.

Hu Wen was shocked: "Hey! What do you want to do?!"

Without giving Hu Wen a chance to resist, the foxes threw him up and down and caught him again:
"The young master has been chosen! The young master has been chosen!"

Only Hu Wen, who was tied up like a worm, was left screaming in the air.

Zuo Chen glanced at the unfortunate young man, and felt that the foxes were really happy and cheerful. It would be a bit unromantic if he went up to them now, so he decided to wait until the foxes finished making trouble before going over to save them.

"Although they are a bit noisy, they don't have any bad intentions. I hope you don't mind."

Suddenly, a woman's voice came next to Zuo Chen's ear.

Looking sideways,
The Bodhisattva who had just been lying on the lotus pond was now standing barefoot beside him, looking at the playful foxes with gentleness in his eyes.

Feeling Zuo Chen's gaze, she lowered her head and looked at Zuo Chen.

Smiling slightly:
"Fellow Taoist, long time no see."
