If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 433: The Way of the Fox

Zhu Lian looked up at Xiao Yu and said, "Niu Er is a bully in Xinghua Village. He bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. He doesn't care even if they are from the same village or neighbors."

Xiao Yu said: "I also know something about Niu Er. He is not only a bully of men and women, but also a robber who hides his identity and specializes in killing people and robbing goods.

Many merchants from other places were targeted by him, and after leaving the city, he killed them and robbed them of their money."

Zhu Lian was shocked and said, “I only saw that his face was hideous and he was surrounded by the resentful aura of the dead, so I guessed that he must have killed someone in the past.

But I didn't expect that he was actually a bandit who robbed people on the road.

Sure enough, I was right to act decisively, otherwise my husband might have been murdered by him."

Xiao Yu asked, "He and Master Su are from the same village and have known each other for many years. Why did he want to harm him? Was it because of you?"

Zhu Lian explained: "It's not just because of me, Niu Er originally coveted the little sister of the Su family and wanted to marry her.

My husband and mother-in-law knew what kind of person he was, so naturally they were extremely unwilling to do so.

Niu Er, however, was shameless and often waited near Su's house, trying to tease Su Xiaomei.

My husband even had a few fights with him.

It’s a pity that my husband is in good health but has never practiced martial arts, while Niu Er is proficient in boxing and kicking.

When Zhu Lingjun was still around, Niu Er didn't dare to go too far.

Zhu Lingjun was very strict in managing the officials in the yamen, and would always handle the grievances of the people impartially.

The notorious reputation of "Zhu Yitai" and "Qidawan" is well-known even in Xinghua Village."

Xiao Yu was surprised: "How can Zhu Yitao manage the affairs of the village? There are three elders in the village!"

“The political power should not go to the countryside” is no longer just a slogan for her who has lived in this era for half a year.

When it comes to rural affairs, it is definitely more useful to find the village elders than the county magistrate.

Even the affairs in the county town can be interfered by the village elders.

Because many of the clerks in the county are "local talents" recommended by village elders.

There is a pavilion every ten miles, and ten pavilions form a village. In an area of ​​a hundred miles, the authority of the village elders is quite considerable.

Bai Zhulian said: "Of course my mother-in-law and husband went to see the head of the pavilion and the village elders.

They would also scold Niu Er harshly.

But after Zhu Lingjun passed away, the new Lord Li even openly demanded bribes and beat the person who filed the complaint as if he were a murderer.

The yamen runners all saw what Lord Li was doing.

The strict and prudent atmosphere of the past is gone.

In the past, when county officials inspected the countryside, they were all well-behaved and honest, and did not dare to do anything wrong.

Now, whenever an official came to the village, he would ask for money and would go to the villagers' homes to drink and eat meat.

Niu Er often entertained the officials who came to inspect the area with good food and wine, and even asked the head of the pavilion and the village widows to drink with them.

Xiaoyu inexplicably thought of Chao Gai, the "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King" in "Water Margin".

The "life script" in Niu Er's mind seems to be similar to that of Chao Gai.

It’s just that for the same script, some people played it as Chao Gai, while others played it as Niu Er.

Bai Zhulian continued, "Niu Er is already a bully in the village, and now he is showing off his power.

After I married into the Su family, Niu Er saw me and set his sights on me again.

Whenever I go out, or my husband goes out, he will definitely come and bother us.

One time, my mother-in-law was so angry that she went to see the headman again.

The headman's surname was "Su", and he was my husband's relative. Yet he actually advised my mother-in-law to keep the peace.

However, the village elder, even though his surname was "Niu", was still fair and scolded Niu Er several times.

But the village elder lives in Taoyuan Village next door and is very old, so it is not easy to invite him over.

Niu Er was able to receive the message in advance and escape immediately, waiting for the village elder to leave before returning home.

Afterwards, Su Tingzhang blamed my husband for causing trouble for no reason. "

Having said that, we should get to the point, but Bai Zhulian showed hesitation again.

She was not hesitant about whether to continue, but how to strike the right balance.

Well, the following plot is a bit exaggerated.

The old man said, "Fairy Yu is so righteous that she will do justice for you. What are you afraid of? Tell me everything Niu Er did."

Bai Zhulian lowered her head and whispered, "Once, I was carrying a basket to dig radishes in the fields outside the village. Niu Er rushed out and knelt down before me. He said that I was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven and that there was nothing about me that did not fascinate him.

He begged me to have mercy on him. He really loved me and while he was saying this he held my legs and kissed and licked me. I was furious, but then an idea flashed across my mind and I came up with a plan that would solve the problem once and for all.

I pushed him away and told him that there were too many people there during the day and that we could find a deserted place another day. He agreed happily.

I gathered some herbs in the woods and concocted a medicine that would cure internal heat and sores on the back.

Before going to see Niu Er, he poured the medicine into the water, soaked his feet for a while, and then secretly forced the fox poison into his feet.

Fox poison is harmful to humans, but it smells sweet and delicious to mortals.

As soon as Niu Er saw me, he couldn't control himself anymore and once again knelt on the ground, hugging my legs.

It's like eating licorice and yu ju, and unbuttoning his pants——"

"Ahem, I understand. You don't have to explain it in such detail." The old man waved his hand, looking a little embarrassed.

In fact, within the fox tribe, there is no taboo at all regarding matters between men and women.

Sisters and brothers often exchange experiences and discuss their thoughts.

Experienced elders will also teach the younger generations the pleasures of sex and how to endure a good sexual intercourse.

But there were outsiders present at the time, and he was a male elder, so it was not convenient for him to listen to these details. Although the old man understood them immediately, he had even been a playboy when he was young and had had countless similar experiences.

Bai Zhulian looked at Xiaoyu, who had a wooden expression, and said seriously, "I didn't really let Niu Er succeed. I was releasing evil spirits to harm people."

——You’d better not let Xiao Su know about this, otherwise he will be so jealous of the evil spirit you let out that he will feel bitter.

Xiao Yu asked: "Why don't you just stab him to death with your sword?"

"You can't kill people!" The old man said with a serious expression, "It is much more difficult for aliens to achieve enlightenment than humans. Once they lose their essence, they will definitely damage their own enlightenment and gradually be no longer tolerated by heaven and earth."

He turned around and looked at Bai Zhulian sternly, and shouted, "Have you forgotten the family motto of our Bai family? Once you harm someone, you no longer belong to our 'Qingqiu Bai family'!"

Bai Zhulian's face turned pale, her knees softened, and she slid off the chair and knelt on the ground, resting her forehead on the ground, crying out, "Grandfather, please be merciful. I have no choice but to do this.

Niu Er has been harassing my granddaughter, trying to prove her innocence and kill my husband.

And I haven't killed anyone yet.

Niu Er just had a boil. He can still be saved."

Xiaoyu looked at the white bead curtain, then carefully looked at the old man's expression.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether they were acting in front of her.

But whether it was acting or not, she didn't think Bai Zhulian did anything wrong.

If it were her, she would have chopped off Niu Ergou's head with one sword long ago.

"Don't be angry, Old Man Bai. I was just protecting myself. Even if I killed Niu Er, it was only natural."

She stepped forward and helped Bai Zhulian up. The old man said bitterly: "The immortal road is difficult. If aliens want to pursue the great way, they must abide by strict rules.

What is natural and right for humans is an unforgivable mistake for our fox tribe.

Just like today.

If the person attracted by the pearl curtain was not the sensible Fairy Yu, but someone else, this matter would be difficult to resolve.

A virtuous Taoist priest would certainly not approve of Niu Er's evil deeds, but would investigate the cause and effect and put the blame on Zhu Lian.

Humans and demons have different paths, and the marriage between Zhu Lian and Su Xipo should not have existed.

Zhu Lian's methods are more like those of a demon than a human.

When goblins encounter problems, they always try to use magic or strange remedies to solve them.

There is no law or system in the hearts of goblins.

But the world has its own laws and rules. The correct approach to the pearl curtain is to rely on wisdom and follow the grand and dignified way.

For example, keep an eye on Niu Er, and when he harms someone, rescue him and let the rescued person go to the government office to sue Niu Er.

For example, if stolen goods were found in Niu Er's house, Su Xipo would be asked to report him to the government office.

Western Shu followed Qin law and had laws that required neighbors to supervise each other and reward those who reported crimes.

Even if you don't want to cause trouble, you can ask others to report Niu Er, such as the officer who drank with Niu Er.

Maybe some of them are Niu Er’s accomplices, but it is impossible that all the officers are Niu Er’s accomplices.

These secret matters are very difficult for mortals to investigate.

Zhu Lian is a fox girl who is about to achieve Dan Condensation. Isn't it easy for her to do such a small thing? "

Old Man Bai looked at his granddaughter and said, "Just because we can't charm people and lose our roots doesn't mean we can't use magic to achieve some legitimate goals. The key lies in the word 'moderation'.

If Niu Er provokes you, you can do something about it.

If Niu Er didn't provoke you, you wouldn't care even if you knew he was murdering people and robbing them.

Unless you happen to encounter it and have the ability to protect and hide yourself.

In short, when you leave the mountains and enter the human world, you have to treat yourself as a real person.

It is difficult to change the fox nature immediately, but this itself is the path of cultivation to refine the mind in the world.

If you are in the mortal world and still think of yourself as a fox, then what are you doing in the mortal world?"

After saying this, the old man waved his hand, asked his granddaughter to leave, and ordered the servants to bring new tea and fruit plates.

Xiaoyu and Old Fox were the only ones left in the room.

Xiaoyu understood that the old fox wanted to have a deep conversation with her.

“The elder’s teachings to Sister Zhulian just now made Xiaoyu admire him and gain a lot from him.

However, Xiaoyu also had doubts in his mind, why is it so difficult for aliens to achieve enlightenment?
To be honest, I have also had some adventures.

I was taught seriously by a powerful person for a period of time, but he only asked me to cultivate my mind and did not tell me anything about the precepts. "

She had to pretend again.

Otherwise, I can't explain why I don't know the common sense questions at this time and in the future.

——The almighty one only taught me how to train my mind and said nothing else.

What Xiaoyu said is not wrong.

She really wasn't pretending.

——Sure enough, as I expected, this Yu Fengxian could say “the elixir is almost ready”, so she must have been guided by an expert.

The old man understood and said with a smile: "I am just making a wild guess, there are probably two reasons why the powerful one didn't tell you these things.

First of all, Fairy Yu is intelligent and has noble character.

Unlike my dull granddaughter, who needs to be severely whipped to adapt to humanity.

There is no need for you to give additional instructions to Fairy Yu, you are now on the right path."

Xiaoyu liked to hear this, but she didn't think that if she encountered the same situation, she could do things more "properly" than Bai Zhulian.

She would swing her sword and chop, regardless of the laws and rules of the world.

"Secondly, Fairy Yu is a human, and we are demons."

The old man sighed, "The 'immortal' is the 'human' on the 'mountain', not the demon on the mountain.

To become an immortal, you must first be a human being.

We, the alien race, must abide by the rules of humans when we become immortals.

Even aliens cannot become Daluo Jinxian.

The rules set by the leader of the Human Religion are particularly strict for aliens. "

——It turns out that he is extremely strict, and no one dares to say bad things behind my back.

Xiao Yu murmured in his heart and asked, "Aliens cannot become Daluo Jinxian, is this the rule set by the Three Pure Ones?
But I heard that many demon kings are more powerful than golden immortals and can devour 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals!"

The old man pondered and said, "The laws are divided into ancient and modern ones. The five immortal laws of 'Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghost and God' today are all laws of the human race.

Heavenly immortals and golden immortals are also mainly targeted at the human race.

But this does not mean that different species cannot achieve similar levels.

Whether it is aliens or humans, the cultivation of immortals is nothing more than three major directions: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining emptiness into the Tao.

Attaining the Great Dao is the highest realm of immortality.

To achieve the Great Dao, one must be a Xiantian Immortal and then a Golden Immortal.

Before the Battle of the Gods, the Jiejiao sect led by Master Tongtian taught everyone without discrimination, and those who were different could be promoted to Golden Immortals without any hindrance.

But after the Battle of Conferred Gods, almost all the sects and Taoist methods in the world were founded by disciples of the Human Religion, and the Celestial Immortal Method began to become the "only right way".

Even the aliens began to learn the immortal methods, imitated the immortal methods, and called themselves "immortals."

He sighed with a complicated expression, "The so-called 'demon fairy' is still a fairy!

You should know that in ancient times, the demon race mainly cultivated great supernatural powers, and divided the realms into "demon gods" and "demon saints."

Xiaoyu seemed to be thinking about something.

She still remembered that in her previous life, when discussing the Battle of the Gods on the Internet, most people sympathized with the Jiejiao.

I think Tongtian Jiaozhu is upright and loyal, Laozi is an old scoundrel, and Yuanshi Tianzun is an old shameless person.

The disciples of Jiejiao are all righteous, while the disciples of Chenjiao are all hypocrites.

Now she has a different understanding.

Perhaps the Patriarch Tongtian, who advocates "teaching without distinction", is truly upright and honest, while Laojun and Yuanshi are somewhat shameless.

But the problem is that Laojun and Yuanshi are biased towards the human race!

The two saints Laojun and Yuanshi must have something to ask of the human race.

No one would do anything that has no benefit.

But it is better for these two big guys to sit on the side of the human race than on the side of the demon race.
