Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 314 An Old Fox

The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is fine, and the mountains are misty and strange when it rains. If I were to compare the West Lake to Xi Shi, she would look beautiful with light or heavy makeup.

Qiu Chuji was wearing a green Taoist robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, a whisk in his hand, and a wooden sword on his back. He walked slowly along the beautiful West Lake with a clear goal.

The White Snake and the Green Snake have already stolen the magic herb, which means that the story of the Legend of the White Snake has gone halfway and has reached a very critical turning point. If Qiu Chuji wants to intervene and change the underlying tone of the story, he has to do something ruthless.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the two snakes drown the province and after a fight with Fahai, the whole "story" will be concluded.

No matter what the origin of the White Snake in the Legend of the White Snake is or who taught it, the key is not this, but what kind of truth it reflects and embodies.

Five hundred years ago, Xu Xuan transformed into a demon and died in order to save Bai Suzhen.

Five hundred years later, Xu Xian also blew the flute powered by essence to save Bai Suzhen, temporarily blocking Fahai, but his soul also flew away.

This is cause and effect, reincarnation, and even fate.

Although Taoists also talk about these things, they never believe in them, let alone indulge in them.

Qiu Chuji took action and directly "captured" the entire White Snake family. This is certainly a solution, but it is too abrupt and too rough. On the surface, the mission was accomplished, but the South Pole Immortal would definitely not be satisfied.

That Schrödinger's Daluo would definitely not be satisfied either.

The Immortal of the South Pole went through so much trouble and used the experience of one world to test Qiu Chuji, but this was not the way to let him do things.

In his hand, there was a bunch of elixirs rolled up into a string. The tremendous energy in them was being slowly extracted by Qiu Chuji and injected into the Dayou Five Elements Wheel. In his other hand, there was an object that seemed real and fake, successful and unsuccessful, just like a living thing, absorbing this huge energy.

Soon, Qiu Chuji stood in front of a theater. The exquisiteness of this theater was out of tune with the other buildings on both sides. It was daytime and the lights were not on, so the exquisiteness and splendor of this theater had not been revealed to one tenth.

Qiu Chuji knocked on the door, and a toad statue next to him suddenly stuck out its tongue and stared at him with green eyes in a very weird way.

Qiu Chuji took out a magic pill and put it into the toad's mouth.

Not long after, the door slowly opened, and a shadowy figure shrouded in a black robe floated out from the door. He seemed a little uncomfortable with the scorching sun during the day, and a black mist rose from his body, covering most of his figure.

"Please come in, distinguished guest!" The shadow's voice was cold and desolate, as if it came from the underworld.

Qiu Chuji, however, showed no fear at all. He strode in, passed through the relatively "normal" lobby, and walked along a corridor. It was as if he had walked into a different space, and everything began to distort and change.

Riding on the box ladder, going down, it seems like going deep into the ground, but in fact it is going further into a different space.

This place is like a space sandwiched between multiple worlds. With Qiu Chuji's decent sensitivity to time and space, he can capture the aura emanating from more than one world.

After walking across a long bridge that spanned the darkness, a treasure house standing in the darkness and dim yellow lights appeared before Qiu Chuji's eyes.

A charming girl holding a long pipe was lying on the armchair with her feet on the desk, looking very lazy.

Her childish appearance could not conceal her charming temperament. The strong contrast was enough to make those weak-willed male creatures become shaken.

"Look, look... who is looking for me again?"

A flash of red light appeared, and the girl appeared beside Qiu Chuji. She turned her head suddenly, and her pretty face turned into a fox face with an evil aura. She sniffed at Qiu Chuji, and then jumped away. "Kunlun Mountain, the smell of a stinky Taoist priest!" After turning back into a girl, the old fox's voice was still charming.

"I don't want to do business with you. Leave now before I change my mind!"

As he spoke, his expression changed again, a fox face appeared, and his voice became deep and cold: "Otherwise... you won't be able to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji calmly took out a furry tail, waved it in front of his eyes, and then put it back into the wooden box containing the elixir.

"Tail!"

"Haha... a tail!"

"You cut off one of my tails, and then took another one and appeared in front of me. Do you want to humiliate me?" This old fox, who had lived for who knows how many years, seemed to be enraged all of a sudden. She completely turned into the form of a fox. Eight real tails stretched out and swaggered behind her. Only one illusory tail drooped behind her without any real existence, making her form incomplete.

The nine-tailed fox is the pinnacle of evolution of all fox practitioners and can also be regarded as the ancient "god race". Of course, in the ancient times, the human race was weak. At that time, whether it was a monster, a witch, a spirit, or even a real innate god, they could all be regarded as "gods" and worshipped by some tribes.

As we all know, later on, some of them were included in the diet, some declined and mostly disappeared in the long river of history, and some were incorporated and became vassals.

"Look carefully, this is not your tail!"

“It’s a pendant that can help you cover up the defects on your body and also help you recover a certain amount of skills. Although it may not be as good as a normal nine-tailed fox, at least no one... or foxes will look at you with discrimination.” Qiu Chuji was not at all afraid of the anger of the old fox in front of him.

He is also experienced and knows very well what is bluffing and what is real ruthlessness.

Ever since the old fox smelled the lingering scent of Kunlun Mountain on him, she had lost the courage and intention to take action.

Otherwise, wouldn't she be afraid that the Kunlun Mountain monster-hunting team, led by the real man Lu Tong, would come directly to her doorstep?
"Who dares to look down on me?"

"I'll eat him!" The old fox bared his teeth, seeming to be a little out of control.

Qiu Chuji did not take it seriously. His soul was sharp and he could feel the greedy gaze of the old fox staring at him. He had a great desire for the fox's tail.

A nine-tailed fox's tail, even if it is an external tail, is not so easy to refine.

It is not only a symbol of the fox clan's strength and status, but also a reflection of the depth and realm of cultivation.

The closer it is to the number nine, the greater the weight the tail needs to bear and the greater the power it needs to contain.

If Qiu Chuji did not have the Five Elements Soul and the Great Five Elements Wheel, powerful magic weapons that balance the five elements and transform the void into the real, he would not have been able to refine this fox tail based on the Yuan Qi from the twelve elixirs.

Although it seems that Qiu Chuji did not spend much time to create it, the prerequisites for it were quite harsh.

Not to mention anything else, if those twelve elixirs had not been refined by the Wuliang Immortal of Kunlun Mountain using the Tianyuan Ding, an ordinary practitioner would have to spend hundreds of years to refine one, and might not even succeed.

Fifty years of skill may not sound like a lot, but that is the fifty years of skill of an immortal, not the fifty years of skill of an ordinary mortal or an ordinary practitioner.

"What do you want?" Seeing that Qiu Chuji's expression had not changed, and his breath was as round as ever, and his soul's five elements were complete, the old fox retracted his claws and fangs, then changed back into the appearance of a girl. He held the pipe in his mouth, took a puff of smoke, and exhaled a puff of smoke. The entire space began to flip and change violently. The originally dark and cramped environment was suddenly filled with the fragrance of flowers and became open and bright.
