small sachet wrapped in layers of brocade.He tossed the sachet into my arms and said, "Take this token with you."TokenI untied the small sachet. The moment my finger touched its contents, I was jolted...I had heard that Old Madam Ma was formidable, a renowned expert in the superstitious practices of the north.
After getting to know her better, I realized that besides her own abilities, she also had a fox spirit residing in her body. For any difficult or tricky matters, she could call upon this old fox spirit for help.
The fox is one of the Five Immortals in folklore, but it is also divided into three, six, and nine ranks.
Every creature has a different fate and comprehension. For example, Xiao Nie can walk the righteous path, while other strange beings need to cultivate immortality, and most of them have fallen into the wrong way.
According to Xiao Nie, this old fox was formed from a gathering of evil spirits. I immediately understood why it could coexist peacefully with Old Lady Ma.
When this fox fairy died, she definitely wasn't whole. It seems the Ghost Princess only had her head and body could only be formed by the ghostly Qi of souls.
This old fox spirit's cultivation base is shallow. It worries that it will lose its dwelling and could be arrested by the underworld at any time, or even be blown to smithereens by an unexpected aura.
The little weasel didn't take it seriously at all. It was also quite wary of the little weasel, which is natural. It’s normal for a lynx to kill a fox.
This fox head belongs to someone. The original ghost is more obedient and grateful than this old fox fairy. I didn't intend to do something harmful like killing and robbing, and besides, the female fox is helping me with Qi Keqin's matter. How could I betray her by giving away her fox head while she's away
"...Mu Xia Qiao, my cultivation is not easy, these years I have helped many people, you just give me the fox head, when I find the next suitable house, I will return it to you, okay" The old fox fairy huddled under the bed curtain, pleadingly.
"This fox head belongs to someone else, I'm just keeping it for them. Don't get any foolish ideas... All things have their time, birth and death... Since Madam Ma has reached the end of her life, you should disappear as well." I raised my hand slowly and formed a seal.
Among the various methods of Daoism, Lei Fa ranks highest.
The thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth.
Therefore, thunder is the command of heaven, and all things in the three realms and nine worlds are subject to its mastery.
And thunder also represents the five viscera's qi. Therefore, the cultivation of thunder magic is also the cultivation of internal alchemy.
Even ordinary people often hear the curse "five thunders strike" against those who defy propriety, which shows how high the status of thunder magic is as a divine command.
I didn't study it carefully before, but after I got the Zixiao Ruyi, a divine artifact from the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, I went to study it properly.
The Palace of Nine Heavens' Response to the Yuan, King of Supreme Jade Purity.
With a tranquil mind, and great aspirations; with wisdom's power, we subdue all demons.
The index and middle fingers are bent upwards, the thumb firmly grasps the needle, and the ring and pinky fingers gently press down on the thumb.
The old fox fairy looked at my hand gestures slowly forming, and said in disbelief: "Shen Lei Jue! When did you have such Taoism! When I saw you before, your cultivation level was at most a hundred years—"
"How long has it been since we last met You bully the poor and the weak, but not the young... Besides, you're just a fox spirit with a little bit of Taoist power..."
The old fox spirit was utterly hopeless. Old Lady Ma had died, and it itself was a troubled soul, unable to find peace. Unlike the Ghost Princess who was full of eerie energy, it had no place to reside, leaving only one possible ending -
Xiao Nie's footsteps were light, like treading water and ripples, her figure as fast as lightning, rushing towards it!
I channeled my qi and focused on the angle of Xiao Ni's attack, reciting incantations to summon a heavenly thunderbolt. The glazed tiles adorning the house exploded in fragments, and the carved bedposts were struck by purple lightning, bursting into a shower of sparks.
The old fox fairy let out a shrill cry, roaring: “Quickly come people!! Quickly come people!!!”
The door behind me was suddenly flung open. Zhaojie burst in, clutching a black box. I thought she was coming at me, but then I saw my brother rush behind her and give me a sharp shake of his head.
What does this mean
My brother just went to look for Sister Zhao. Could it be that he wasn't going to stop those disciples who want to fight us
"Little Qiao," my brother called out in a cold voice, shaking his head at me with a grim expression.
I immediately retreated to the side, hearing Xiao Nie's startled roar, followed by Lao Huixian's scream.
The divine thunder's explosion ignited the bed curtain, a manifestation of divine fire, akin to the Crimson Lotus Inferno summoned by Jiang Qiyun, capable of incinerating all demons, fiends, and supernatural beings.
"Master!!" Zhao Jie cried out in alarm.
The old fox spirit, as if grasping a life-saving straw, desperately shouted, "Good disciple, quickly save me! I know you are the most filial! I will definitely pass on all my magical artifacts to you, all to you!"
"Master! Mu Yunfan said he emptied our basement - but don't worry about that, I got the fox head. You come in and hide quickly!" Zhao Jie hurriedly opened the lid of the black box.
Inside there was a white, ghastly skull.
Fox head
I frowned. The fox head was definitely inside my mahogany box, but what kind of skull was this
The old fox fairy was pleasantly surprised. It suddenly leaped out of the burning bed and flew towards Zhao Jie: "Good apprentice! You're still useful! Master's most precious artifact is hidden in the secret compartment, Mu Yunfan couldn't possibly find it!"
As it spoke, its form coalesced and it burrowed into the skull.
"Huh" The old fox fairy was stunned for a moment, and I saw its body being pulled into something with great force. Immediately after, it let out a strange cry!
"What is this!!! Ahhh!!! You, you—"
The sound abruptly cut off.
Sister Zhao closed the black box.
I glanced inside, and the box was filled with yellow talismanic scriptures for slaying demons and warding off evil.
Zhao Jie still had tears on her face, but a triumphant smile curled at the corner of her mouth: “ … Master, this is something I specially prepared for you… an urn…”
Those talismans belonged to the Shen family. It turns out my brother said he went to deal with these disciples, not to fight them, but to turn them against their master.
Sister Zhao is quite shrewd. She had already sensed the change in Old Madam Ma and knew that the tide had turned. It's better to cooperate with my brother, earn some magical artifacts, and continue to mix in this circle.
"Life is like a play, all depends on acting. Zhao Jie's performance as a two-faced, three-knife villain is truly authentic." My brother chuckled and teased.
"Well...thank you for taking me seriously...giving me a chance to live, how could I not cherish it" She laughed and threw the box onto the bed.
The fire grew increasingly larger, reaching the body of Old Mrs. Ma.
Miss Mu, I have offended you many times before. Fortunately, we haven't caused any major grudges. I hope you will show mercy and give me a way out... I will discipline my subordinates, severely punish Xi Linzhou, and never again oppose the Shen family or the Mu family!
She anxiously explained to me, wanting to clear the air about our previous unpleasantness.
Such a person, steps on the low and flatters the high, is untrustworthy.
"I know some things about the old fox spirit and this place's Old King, I'm willing to tell you everything, just please spare us—"to grasp the bamboo tube."Deliver this to Lian Long." Mu Wanchen gave a simple order, and the mountain hawk let out a long cry before turning and flying away.I was dumbstruck.Can this such "primitive"...
