Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 83 The Biggest Fist

"Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, guests are here, please don't lose your manners."

At this moment, an old and hoarse voice said.

The voice spoke slowly and did not sound like a human voice, but it was speaking human words, which seemed very strange.

The voice came from the mouth of an old fox. His hands were bent, and his body was standing like a human. He walked towards Fang Han and Hong Yi.

In Hong Yi's opinion, this old fox didn't look like a fox, but more like an old scholar in the countryside.

A fox that speaks human language is undoubtedly a demon.

"Mr. Tu."

Princess Yuan spoke, looking delighted.

Although she is the "Fragrant Fox King", one of the eight great demon fairies, she also came out of this group of foxes.

"demon"

Hong Yi was shocked. The one who could speak human language was exactly the same as the fox demon recorded in "Notes from the Thatched Cottage". It seemed that the woman in red was also a demon.

I really don't know why this little Taoist priest didn't react much. Could it be that he was in cahoots with the demons?
"A sage once said that as long as a scholar has an upright heart and a righteous mind, even demons and ghosts will find it difficult to invade him. I have been familiar with the books of sages since childhood and have never done anything wrong, so naturally I have nothing to fear from these demons! Moreover, these demons may not be harmful to humans."

Hong Yi was having a lot of random thoughts in his mind, but he slowly calmed down when he looked at these fluffy little foxes that looked like snowballs.

"Don't be afraid, young master. We are not man-eating monsters! You only need to teach these relatives of mine how to read and write, and I will give you ten taels of gold every month."

Seeing that Hong Yi was a little nervous, Princess Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"I am truly delighted that you two have visited my humble abode today. Although we are a different species, we must understand that all living things have spirits. We, the pure fox clan, are not unintelligent beasts. We also understand reason and reason. We are what you humans call 'barbarians', not the evil demons that people imagine us to be."

The old fox called "Tu Lao" said that he could also see that the young Taoist in front of him wearing a water and fire Taoist robe was not simple, so he explained seriously.

"That's true."

Fang Han nodded. There are countless creatures in the world, no matter whether they are human or monster, as long as they know right from wrong, understand reason, and have a kind and righteous heart, there is no need to be afraid.

At this moment, the foxes have also gathered around.

"Young Master, since I've decided to hire you as a teacher for my relative's family, I'd like to test you. What's the biggest thing in the world?"

Looking at Hong Yi, Princess Yuan asked.

"Of course, truth is the greatest. If you have truth, you won't be afraid wherever you go!" Hong Yi said without hesitation. He was well-versed in the books of sages and believed that if he had truth, he wouldn't be afraid to travel around the world.

"What a great truth!"

Princess Yuan nodded. Hong Yi's words actually helped her resolve one of the knots in her heart.

She and Bai Ziyue, the White Ape King, one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, cultivated in the same mountains for sixty years, developing feelings for each other, but ultimately falling in love. Later, she attained the status of a ghost immortal, then reincarnated as a daughter of the Yuantu royal family. In pursuit of the Wenxiang Sect's "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance," among other reasons, she ultimately chose to marry into the Daqian Imperial Palace. The Daqian Empress's power was not uncommon; she was descended from the Qingzhou Ji family, a powerful descent of Ji Zi, one of the Hundred Sages. Without Ziyue's covert support, which deterred the Qian Emperor and Empress' forces from acting rashly, she would have been unable to hold the fort alone.

"Young Master, what you said is very true. Whether it's sages or philosophers, the most respected thing is truth! This is also the foundation of the emperor's rule."

Mr. Tu also said.

"Brother Han, what do you think?" Yuan Fei couldn't help but look at Fang Han again.

"Hmm~ What Brother Hong calls reason is merely a tool for maintaining rule and ensuring national stability. If you ask what's most powerful in this world, it's undoubtedly the fist! There's a famous saying in my hometown: 'A weak nation has no diplomacy; a strong fist is the only way to achieve truth.' It means that if a nation is weak, no other nation will want to befriend it. Only when a nation is strong will its reason be heard. Otherwise, shouting at the top of your lungs will be useless. The succession of dynasties has never been achieved through reason alone."

Fang Han said, "The ancient Holy Emperors were feared because they possessed unparalleled strength. The rulers of a country were noble because they possessed a powerful army, which was the source of their nobility. The same is true for some gods and Buddhas, as they possess unparalleled power. Rather than saying that they fear truth, it's better to say that they fear power. This has been the case throughout history! People, or even all the spirits in the world, will only fear the strong, not the weak; they will only listen to the words of a strong person, not the cries of a weak person, no matter how reasonable their words are."

This is what was meant by "power comes from the barrel of a gun" and "weak countries have no diplomacy" in previous lives. Reality is already so cruel, not to mention the even more cruel world of cultivation.

"Fang Han, you're right! Emperor Huangquan has this kind of thinking. As long as you're strong enough, nothing can be worthy of our awe, not even the immortals in the heavens! The reason they joined forces to kill the emperor when he was teaching and ascending to heaven was because they were afraid that the emperor would threaten their rule. How despicable! If you ever become an immortal and reach a higher level, you must tear their ugly faces apart~"

After hearing Fang Han's words, Yan said hatefully.

His cultivation has recovered a part, and he can now practice independently. When he has nothing to do, he practices the Huangquan Sect's magic, and he doesn't feel bored.

On the other side, Fang Han's words immediately made Yuan Fei's eyes light up and her heart surge.

Even Old Tu was astonished when he heard this. He did not expect that this little Taoist priest of the human race could see the essence of the world so clearly.

"Sir, your words are truly enlightening. I'm grateful for your guidance!"

Mr. Tu bowed and a more intelligent light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes! Brother Fang is right. Although the truth is great, only the 'fist' can maintain the existence of the truth, otherwise the previous dynasty would not have perished!" Hong Yi said thoughtfully.

"My dear brother, your words have inspired me. In this world, strength is what matters. If I didn't have the strength, I wouldn't be known as one of the 'Eight Great Demonic Immortals in the World', and no one would respect me. Even the concubines in the palace would use all kinds of conspiracies, poisons, and assassinations to win favor, which is outrageous. If I didn't have the strength, I would have been killed by some vicious people long ago." Princess Yuan sighed.

When it comes to fighting, the fights between humans are the most brutal. Without power, even if one holds the greatest truth in the world, he or she may end up being a victim.

After a conversation, Fang Han, Hong Yi and Mr. Tu became familiar with each other.

In the valley, beside the campfire, many little foxes were sitting on specially made small benches, learning to read and write under the guidance of Hong Yi.

These foxes seemed to be pure foxes of a different species, their bodies as white as snow, without the fishy smell that other foxes had.

Princess Yuan was talking with Mr. Tu and the three little white foxes, reminiscing about the past.

"I wonder if sister knows how to practice martial arts and the art of the soul?" Fang Han couldn't help but ask when he saw Princess Yuan walking towards him.

Since he had recognized this fairy sister by chance, Fang Han naturally wanted to learn from her.
