Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 8: Facing the Ghosts and Gods
Chen Ji resisted the urge to check in front of the fox ghost, and returned to the room before opening the "Strange Stories" in his mind.

Sure enough, a new page appeared.

Mr. Fox

"A fox from Hejian wanted to join the Fox School and hired two students, Chen and Su, to teach. Chen was a human, Su a ghost. Chen annotated the words of the sages, and Su, who was unruly and unruly, became estranged from him. Later, when he heard Chen and Fox's lectures, he realized that Fox was not necessarily inferior to others. He was very ashamed of his conduct and words and asked for forgiveness. However, he forgot his words out of shame. From then on, Chen could see ghosts and gods."

Chen Ji took a quick glance and felt that it was no different from the classical Chinese reading comprehension he had done before, except that it was replaced by his own experience.

There is one interesting thing.

He thought Su Yu had really forgotten what he said, but he didn't expect that she was just forgetting on purpose because she was shy.

Really... well, at such an old age, it seems inappropriate to call her tsundere, but she can be described as an old and undisciplined person.

Chen Ji silently kept this in mind.

Since they are both Mr. Fox, they will inevitably have dealings with each other often in the future, so he must be made to remember this matter.

At the same time, I decided to carefully check the Strange Stories if there is any information in the future, in case I find any information that I missed before.

As for the last visible ghost, Chen Ji subconsciously chose to ignore it and even wanted to close his eyes.

There is no other reason.

At this moment, there was a translucent figure standing in his room, with his back to the wall.

And it’s not like Mr. Su who can only see it by actively showing up.

This ghost suddenly appeared in front of him after he read the strange story record, and even scared him to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was obviously already in the house.

Although Chen Ji has already accepted the existence of monsters and ghosts in this world.

But after all, humans and ghosts have different paths.

The first ghost he saw was also his colleague. With Miss Bai around, he didn't have to worry about his life and could treat it with confidence.

But this is different.

No one knows what a wandering ghost will do.

It just so happens that the two techniques that Chen Ji currently masters are also very embarrassing.

The language of birds and animals, and the ability to see ghosts and gods.

It might be okay to chat to relieve boredom and get information, but you don't know how to fight and have no ability to protect yourself.

Chen Ji just hoped that the other party was just passing by, otherwise he really didn’t know how to deal with it.

Just be afraid of something.

The ghost seemed to hear Chen Ji's thoughts. It turned around and stood beside Chen Ji, almost face to face.

Chen Ji only felt his heart beating faster and his pupils dilated unconsciously.

But after seeing that the ghost could only get close to him but could not overlap him after several attempts, Chen Ji calmed down and began to feel this new experience.

The temperature in front of me was a little lower, and the breath was different from my usual breathing, with something indescribable.

It was similar to the aura of an old man on his deathbed; there was a sense of decay and death that needed no further explanation.

"So this is what it feels like to face a ghost."

Chen Ji was thoughtful, but he didn't understand why the ghost was targeting him and had to hit his body.

It was obvious that all his efforts were useless, but the ghost's expression did not change at all, and he continued to repeat his previous actions.

"I'm so tired."

Chen Ji opened his mouth to test the ghost and found that it still hadn't changed at all, as if it hadn't heard the sound.

If you stand up and walk around, the ghost will follow you.

If you can't see it, it won't affect your normal life.

But it was right under his eyelids, and he could see it whenever he opened his eyes and turned his head, so Chen Ji felt a little annoyed.

I decided to go find Miss Bai to deal with this ghost.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw two foxes, Bai Qi and Bai Ba, coming together.

"Mr. Chen, you are still awake."

"I can not sleep."

"We thought so too. Usually, when a gentleman comes, he can't sleep on the first night, so we specially came to treat him to a midnight snack."

"By the way, I also want to ask you something."

A familiar fox came, and Bai Qi also knew some magic, so he could be considered a fox demon.

Chen Ji was not in a hurry to deal with the ghost following him, and planned to see what to eat for midnight snack.

"You came here empty-handed, how can you get midnight snack?"

"Here I am!"

Bai Ba moved his chubby body and shouted hurriedly.

Chen Ji looked carefully at its empty paws. "Is there anything?"

"Yes, please wait a moment, sir."

After Bai Ba finished speaking, he opened his beak and reached in with his claws to take something out in front of Chen Ji.

Soon he curled his eyes and said incoherently that he had found it, and then pulled out an exquisite five-layer food box.

It was clearly only the size of a thumb when it was in Bai Ba's mouth, but it returned to its normal size when it was shaken by the wind.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ji knew that Bai Ba's move was also a magic.

"Mr. Chen, this is a delicious midnight snack. I have been reluctant to eat it."

Bai Ba held the food box to take credit.

"..."

"If Mr. Chen is not satisfied, I have other food here."

Bai Ba put down the food box and added.

"No need... This is already good enough."

"That's good, I'll get something else."

Bai Bafu stretched out his claws and pulled out a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, followed by a low table, a wine pot, and wine glasses...

In just a few breaths, he took out a complete set of banquet utensils.

Chen Ji was dazzled by what he saw and finally understood why Bai Ba had such a fat body. It was completely like a fox-shaped treasure house.

After everything was arranged, Bai Ba began to transform.

But he was still inferior to Bai Qi, and Chen Ji didn't even feel much change.

Bai Ba's face and body basically retained the characteristics of a fox, except for a pair of hands that had turned into human hands, which he skillfully used to pick up food with chopsticks.

"Please forgive me for laughing at you, Mr. Bai. My Transfiguration is only in the bottom tier, the worst among all foxes. I really don't have any talent!"

Chen Ji clicked his tongue, feeling that what Bai Ba said was totally wrong.

This is not a lack of talent for transformation, it's a complete failure to allocate the focus of transformation.

The pair of hands that stretched out from the fox to pick up the food were works of art, worthy of praise from any opponent.

In contrast, the body can even be classified as sloppy.

But Chen Ji also became curious.

He saw the transformations of three foxes, but each one was different, and it didn't even look like they were taught by the same teacher. He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and ask what was going on.

"Actually, it was Miss Bai who taught me all this!"

The two foxes said in unison.

"Is that how you learned it?"

"No, it's just that Miss Bai said that changing into a form is a manifestation of one's thoughts. Just think of the form you like best and change into it."

"So what do you like?"

Chen Ji frowned. He really couldn't tell what Bai Qibaiba liked from this look.

"Knight!"

“Eater!”

The two foxes spoke at the same time.

Chen Ji suddenly realized and finally understood a little, but he was still curious why it turned out like this.

"I don't know about that. I thought a knight was like this, and that's how it became."

"Me too!"

"So you came to me, didn't you want me to teach you how to transform?"

"Yes."

The two foxes nodded quickly.

"The teacher said in class that he could also teach transformation, so we came here specifically to ask."

"Why not look for Miss Bai?"

Chen Ji asked.

"Miss Bai has already explained it to us, but we didn't understand, so we came to ask the master. If you still don't understand after the master explains it, we will go and ask Miss Bai again."

Chen Ji couldn't help but laugh.

I really don’t know whether to say this fox is smart or honest.

They clearly didn't believe that I, a person who couldn't practice cultivation, could teach them the method of transformation, yet they gave such a reason.

But I did say I would teach them, so I just said it.
