Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 315 Xu Xuan Returns
"Xu Xuan!" Qiu Chuji said a name directly.

"What? Who?" The old fox had a puzzled expression on his face, just like it was real.

Qiu Chuji waved his sleeves and condensed a chair with the power of wood, then sat down with his arms and legs spread out. Then a furry fox tail appeared in his hand, and he just stroked it, occasionally pulling out one or two hairs from it, pinching them between his fingertips and examining them carefully, as if he could see something.

The old fox's brows twitched when she saw Qiu Chuji's behavior. Although the tail was not hers yet, she had already taken a fancy to it and regarded it as her own.

Now that Qiu Chuji was holding her in his hands and playing with her, even with her experience and shrewdness, she felt ashamed and angry.

Every time Qiu Chuji pulled her hair, she felt a phantom pain in her tail.

As the owner of Baoqingfang, the old fox is also an expert in refining magical weapons, but what she can refine can only be regarded as "tools" in the conventional sense. Qiu Chuji uses the Dayou Five Elements Wheel as the basis, consumes elixirs as energy, and directly turns the virtual into the real. The method he uses is more like "creation".

There is an essential difference between the two.

So, it’s not that the old fox doesn’t want to refine a tail for herself to make up for her defects, but she really can’t do it.

For a magical weapon like the Dayou Five Elements Wheel, no one would think that it is easy to form, right?

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" The old fox stomped his little feet on the ground, baring his little canine teeth, and looked at Qiu Chuji with a ferocious look. Seeing that Qiu Chuji's expression did not change at all, he restrained his expression.

"Okay! I remember him, a poor mortal who turned from a human into a monster for a snake monster."

"But his soul has already been scattered. If you want to find him, you have to ask the Lord of Mount Tai. There is no file on his soul-collecting in the underworld!" The old fox still wanted to pretend. She had been planning this game for the White Snake for five hundred years. This was already her second life. When the layout of this life is completed, after another thousand years, the third life will be complete. This game of three lives, which she had planned for fifteen hundred years, was finally completed.

Of course, her plan did not target the White Snake itself. At most, she knew some inside information about the monks and took advantage of it.

There is big reincarnation and small reincarnation between heaven and earth.

The small cycle of reincarnation is very simple. A person has three souls and seven spirits. After death, the heavenly soul returns to heaven, the earthly soul returns to earth, and only the life soul combines with the seven spirits to enter the underworld and enter the cycle of reincarnation. After drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, the past is forgotten. However, there are always exceptions for billions of living beings. Occasionally they may have a fortuitous encounter and awaken their past and open up their wisdom. In this way, the past and present life are combined into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Just like a flower that blooms in different colors, it is still the same flower. Although its appearance has changed, its spirit remains the same.

The great cycle is the law governing the operation of all things in nature. Broadly speaking, it is like the life chain or the food chain. Among countless coincidences, at some point in time, there will always be a flower that looks the same as the flower that withered many years ago.

But there is actually no necessary connection between them.

Xu Xuan's soul has been destroyed, and Bai Suzhen is looking for the so-called reincarnation. In fact, from Bai Suzhen's point of view, it is a way to seek self-comfort and liberation.

Originally, when she found Xu Xian, she could only say "You look just like me".

In fact, Xu Xuan is Xu Xuan and Xu Xian is Xu Xian. They look the same, but their personality, memory, character, and even their spiritual core are all different.

Apart from their appearance, they are two completely unrelated people.

But there is an old fox who deliberately arranged it...that's another story.

"I know that you made a deal with him five hundred years ago. You changed his demon body for him, but what did you take from him?"

"Let me think... are they the two souls of heaven and earth?" Qiu Chuji chose to directly expose the old fox's excuses and lies.

He has an open hand, so no matter what kind of rhetoric he uses when talking to this old fox, it will be useless.

If this card can impress the old fox, the deal can be done. If it fails, then we can only make more changes and use violent means.

The nine-tailed fox is powerful, but the eight-tailed fox with one tail broken is not that powerful... Besides, the fox clan has never been known for its outstanding fighting power. When fighting against an old fox like this, it is often best to play straight and use brute force.

The old fox's expression froze, he looked at Qiu Chuji seriously, and sniffed again.

“Very young and fresh taste!”

"Your soul is not old, but your body is made of natural materials and treasures, full of infinite mysteries..." As he spoke, the old fox couldn't help but lick his tongue.

Qiu Chuji's current body is a lotus root body that he got from the Five-Colored Golden Lotus bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although it is not the original body of the Five-Colored Golden Lotus, the spiritual lotus root it gave birth to is also an extremely rare treasure in this world. "It seems that a great immortal in Kunlun Mountain told you some secrets."

"Whatever! Whatever!"

"I planned for three lives. Originally, I just wanted to use the affinity of three lives to refine a piece of Three Lives Stone to exchange for a portion of Three Lights Divine Water to heal old injuries."

"Now that you have given me a tail, I have hope that this injury will heal on its own. So I will hand over the rest of Xu Xuan's soul to you!" The old fox saw that Qiu Chuji was not able to get into the conversation with her, so she could only say this helplessly.

Qiu Chuji asked, "Where is Xu Xuan's earth soul?"

The old fox said: "Of course it has been handed over to him in this life!"

"Since you came to me to ask for Xu Xuan's soul, you must want to cause trouble for the monks. I don't need to tell you who Xu Xuan's reincarnation is!"

Qiu Chuji did not respond to the old fox's words, but just showed his fox tail and wanted to barter immediately.

The old fox then took out a jade box and handed it to Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji took the jade box, sensed it with his soul for a moment, and saw a lot of Xu Xuan's memories, and confirmed that this was Xu Xuan's soul.

Then, he handed the fox tail in his hand to the old fox.

The old fox held the fox tail, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to refine it, but then stopped, put it away, and knocked the pipe on the armrest of Qiu Chuji's chair.

"Since the transaction has been completed, then... you should leave!" The old fox was ready to see him off and didn't want to keep Qiu Chuji any longer.

Qiu Chuji looked at the jade box in his hand again. Although he knew that this old fox must have another trick up her sleeve, he did not bother to argue with her at this moment. Instead, he followed her wishes and left Baoqingfang first.

After Qiu Chuji left, the theater that originally stood by the West Lake suddenly shrank into a speck of dust and disappeared without a trace.

However, this sudden change did not attract the attention of any passers-by on the West Lake.

They seemed unaware of this, nor did they seem surprised at all.

Although foxes are not good at fighting, they have many tricks and methods to save their lives and escape.

It seems mysterious and extremely difficult to deal with.

But in the eyes of Qiu Chuji, who has already gained a preliminary grasp of the five elements, they are just some tricks.

Now he has important things to deal with. When he is free, Qiu Chuji can deduce a large number of similar tricks and means by using the changes of the five elements. These can be used to support his combat power. They cannot promote his cultivation, but they can be used to facilitate his daily life and to bluff people, which is extremely useful.

After Qiu Chuji obtained Xu Xuan's soul, he was still not in a hurry to look for Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Instead, he followed Xu Xuan's memory and flew to Bashu, preparing to find some traces of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave left over from the past. There, he would use the Five Elements Wheel as a tool and the elixir as a sacrifice to reunite Xu Xuan's soul, rebuild his body and soul, and bring him back to life.

This move went very smoothly.

The main reason is that Qiu Chuji has extraordinary resources, so it is not difficult to do this.

Xu Xuan was a person whose soul was scattered, and there was no record of his name in the underworld of the small cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, Qiu Chuji's resurrection of a person whose soul was scattered five hundred years ago in this place with the underworld did not count as interference with reincarnation, and did not cause any stress response from the underworld.

On the contrary, for those souls that have passed through the passage to the underworld and reincarnated, or are currently being punished in the underworld and waiting for reincarnation, it would be much more difficult for Qiu Chuji to resurrect them.

Consumption is only a small problem; challenging the system is the difficulty.

Xu Xuan slowly opened his eyes from the top of Yunshan Mountain. The last scene in his memory was him holding Xiaobai in his arms in the wind and snow.

"Xiaobai!" he shouted, and then he saw Qiu Chuji, who was wearing a Taoist robe, standing in the strong wind facing the light.

"Taoist priest?" Xu Xuan immediately tensed up all over. After all, in his memory, Taoist priests were not good people.
