Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 8 The Story of the Ugly Fox

Ye Beixuan pondered over it, if this monster really had never killed anyone, then all his great principles might not work.

The fox was waiting for instructions with expectant eyes, while the people in the temple looked pensive, but in fact their minds were already searching through thousands of online articles, their brains working rapidly.

Someone come save me? Break the atmosphere so I can transition.

Just when the fox was getting a little impatient and its claws were scratching the bluestone ground so hard that sparks flew, and Ye Beixuan didn't know how to start, two muffled "hmm" sounds came out one after another.

Looking closely, the two old men beside the statue suddenly covered their heads and struggled to get up. When they opened their eyes, there was fear in their eyes.

"monster?!"

"There really is a monster."

The two sudden shouts made the big fox so angry that it bared its teeth and opened its bloody mouth wide, as if it was about to attack.

When the two old men reacted and saw their children clearly, their faces quickly became alert.

Zhu Zhishan immediately stopped them and said, "Monster, don't hurt my daughter."

After saying that, he pushed out with his hot-tempered palms, and a stream of air flew out, with the power of his palms as powerful as a tidal wave.

He is indeed a master! Ye Beixuan secretly admired. This old man might be stronger than himself, but what's the use? The two reckless old men couldn't even deal with ghosts, let alone this big fox.

Sure enough, the fox demon just sneezed, and a stream of air swept over, instantly dissolving Zhu Zhishan's palm power. At the same time, the air flow continued to rush towards him with undiminished power.

"Be careful." Liang Mingshan also pushed forward with a palm.

boom! !

The two were swept up by the air flow and hit the wall heavily. They rolled several times on the ground and wailed in pain!
The big fox seemed to be wary of the statue or Ye Beixuan, and was quite restrained when attacking, and did not move forward to finish off the opponent.

This is the difference between mortals and monsters. Ye Beixuan was shocked. No, he had to rely on his mouth. He couldn't win at all.

"father"

"father"

"Monster, don't hurt my father." Although the scholar Liang Mingjue had never learned martial arts, he bravely picked up his weapon and prepared to resist.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" the big fox asked in surprise, and a human expression appeared on his ugly face with hideous scars.

"Huh" Ye Beixuan took a deep breath secretly. Fortunately, the two reckless old men bought him some time, which gave him a sudden flash of inspiration and he suddenly thought of how to trick it.

"Stop." A calm voice was heard, which was commonplace in the ears of the Liang and Zhu families.

But it sounded like thunder in the big fox's ears, and it immediately looked horrified.

"Sir, I'm sorry for being rude." The big fox actually stood up, imitating humans, and bowed with its claws as sharp as daggers.

hiss.
Although he secretly took a deep breath, he remained calm and said slowly, "Your Excellency said that you have never killed anyone, but your current behavior seems to be beyond my expectations."

"Besides, we clearly encountered two female ghosts earlier. Didn't you kill them and then hold them hostage to harm others?"

Ye Beixuan's idea was very simple, to guide it, but he must not ask her directly why she was trapped in love, otherwise it would damage his image as a master. Once it saw through his thoughts, he would probably have to go into the fox den and have kittens with it.

When the big fox heard this, his expression suddenly became impatient. In his haste to explain, his facial features began to twist, and his hideous scars shrank into a ball.

"Sir, you have misunderstood me." "Sir, you have misunderstood Sister Mei'er." A clear and pleasant voice came. Looking in the direction of the voice, a beautiful figure slowly floated down in front of the temple door. It was the female ghost named Zhao Yunge.

"Oh? You are here in the Black Mountain pretending to be herbalists and harming people. Is that true?" Ye Beixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, his eyes deep and cold, and there was a hint of ambiguous arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he knew everything.

【Ghosts and Gods Fear lv2 (10%)】This experience gain is really nice.

After the skill was upgraded, in the eyes of the female ghost and the big fox, his expression was like a shadow in the cold night, revealing endless majesty, which made their necks cold, their heartbeats accelerated, and they were full of anxiety, fearing that he would be angry.

"Sir," the ghost Zhao Yunge suddenly knelt down and said, "Please forgive Sister Mei'er! We tried to persuade her, but she was truly trapped by her infatuation."

"Oh? Why?" Ye Beixuan slowed down his tone, still looking like an expert.

I never thought that as a storyteller, I would actually listen to someone else telling a story one day.

Then the female ghost Zhao Yunge began to tell the story:

It turned out that the big fox was injured by a hunter's trap in the mountains before it transformed into a human form, and the scars on its face were caused at that time.

Just when the big fox was full of despair, a poor scholar who was taking an exam happened to pass by and rescued it. He took good care of it for a month and then let it go.

Ten years later, she transformed into a human form, and was filled with longing. She transformed into a woman and prepared to marry him to repay his kindness. However, she was injured by a hunter before her transformation, and the scar could not be removed, so she looked ugly and was rejected by the scholar.

But the infatuated fox girl was unwilling to give up on what she had decided in her heart, so she took out money to persuade the poor scholar to agree to spend the night with her.

Day after day, the fox girl's money became less and less, while the scholar became richer and richer.

In the end, the scholar began to dislike the fox girl and even asked someone to exorcise the fox while she was away. However, he found out that the other person was a fake Taoist priest who was beaten by the fox girl and ran away.

The fox girl was so sad that she took away all the scholar's property and returned to the mountains.

But this incident hurt her so much that even after a hundred years, even though the scholar had long since died, she still couldn't get over her love.

"Finally, I came to this Black Mountain in search of a scholar, hoping to find true love that would accompany me for a lifetime and resolve the grudges in my heart." Zhao Yunge knelt on the ground, forehead pressed to the ground, and said sincerely, "Sir, please have mercy on me and let me go!"

After a long while, Ye Beixuan slowly said, "Hu Mei'er is indeed a person of true character. She dares to love and hate. I admire her."

The female ghost and the big fox were delighted to receive Ye Beixuan's praise, but their happiness didn't last long as Ye Beixuan started asking questions again.

"I wonder how many scholars you've captured since coming to Black Mountain? And have you ever found true love?"

Now that I know the reason, it is easier to stabilize it. As someone who drank toxic chicken soup in the previous life, what I am best at is feeding spiritual chicken soup.

Although this question was simple, the big fox didn't know how to answer it.

After thinking for a long time.

"I don't know where to start answering your question, sir. However, after Mei'er came to Black Mountain, she seduced more than twenty scholars and tried to marry more than a dozen of them. But they all left me in the end. I never had true love. Today, I saw that this scholar Liang was deeply in love with her. I thought it must be true love. So, I... want to catch him to be my husband." The big fox explained in a hurried tone with a sincere expression.

"Mei'er doesn't understand why in human stories, fox spirits repaying their gratitude to scholars always live in harmony, but why am I the one being despised?"

Ye Beixuan gasped. Oh my goodness! She's forced to marry more than a dozen husbands, and now she wants to force someone else's husband in front of his wife. How terrifying! A fierce woman! No, a fierce fox.

He just wanted to find out why the big fox was trapped in love so that he could feed it some poisonous chicken soup, but he didn't expect that Liang Mingjue behind him was so scared that he turned pale and almost collapsed to the ground.

He was even more horrified, but also secretly glad that he was lucky enough to meet a master today, otherwise he would have to go into a fox den and give birth to little foxes.
