"The calamity-causing heavenly thunder is inherently incompatible with demons. Over the past thousand years, after each calamity you have experienced, some of it has accumulated in your body. Now that it has all erupted, it will not only destroy your cultivation, but in serious cases, it will shatter your demon elixir and cause your body and soul to disappear..."
Lu Liangsheng mobilized the spiritual energy in the foothills to spread along the fox's internal organs, nourishing them inch by inch. With his other hand, he pinched the spell of Qiankun Zhengdao to draw the remaining power of the heavenly thunder out of her body bit by bit.
"… The Mysterious Heavenly Thunder cannot be removed without an authentic method. Of course, a body of righteousness can also nourish the injury and slowly repair it. You don't know any of the three, and you still dare to think of transcending the calamity and becoming a celestial fox."
With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the pain in the internal organs that felt like being burned by fire and struck by lightning gradually eased a lot. Although the damaged demon pill could not be restored, at least without any injuries, repairing the demon pill did not seem so difficult.
Feeling the magic power passing through her body, Yanzhi couldn't help but let out a low moan from her tightly closed eyes. With her slightly closed eyes, the moonlight fell like water on her concentrated face. She watched quietly for a long time. Lu Liangsheng said a few words gently and looked at her. Yanzhi quickly closed her eyes and moved her head slightly to turn her face away.
"Sir... there is a reason why you can become an immortal."
"What?" The scholar smiled, retracted the lightning that was drawn out from his fingertips and turned it into air.
"Nothing... nothing... Mr. Lu, is the fairyland beautiful?" Realizing that she had said too much, Yanzhi quickly shut her mouth. Lu Liangsheng, who was pointing his finger at her head, didn't think too much about it. "I didn't even think about going to the fairyland. I just took a look from afar. It was just like that. There were mountains and waters floating on the clouds, and cranes and phoenixes flying everywhere. When I went up, the group of gods I had offended before were guarding there, staring at me covetously. Fortunately, I took the wrong road, otherwise there would be another troublesome fight when I got there."
Listening to the scholar's seemingly relaxed words, Yanzhi grinned slightly and couldn't help but chuckle. Then she remembered something, opened her eyes again and looked around, but did not see the little figure she had been longing for day and night.
Seeing her expression, Lu Liangsheng knew the longing contained in her eyes, so he told her the fact that "Boundless Mountains and Seas" could not be opened. After all, there was no need to hide such things. If not handled properly, it might backfire and make things worse. People might think that he, Lu Liangsheng, had some evil intentions and harmed her son's life. This kind of thing was something that scholars had seen a lot of during their travels during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
After hearing the whole story, Yanzhi's eyes were somewhat disappointed. She looked at the moonlight and just sighed. She did not have the outburst that Lu Liangsheng had thought before. After a moment, she lowered her gaze to Mr. Lu in front of her.
"The reason why your book cannot be opened, could it be because of the lack of spiritual energy in this world? After the opening of the heaven and earth, there are fewer and fewer people practicing Taoism in the world, and many spells that rely on spiritual energy have become ineffective one by one. Even the magic weapons are not as powerful as before. Perhaps your book senses the lack of spiritual energy in the world and dares not open it without permission, for fear of affecting the small world inside."
The red fox, who had little experience and knowledge when she lived in Xiaoquan Mountain, has become as knowledgeable as Lu Liangsheng after so many years. In fact, the time she has lived is longer than that of the scholar.
Lu Liangsheng nodded. He thought about what she said during the time he stayed in Nanguan City, but he just couldn't come to a conclusion.
The spiritual energy guided was almost exhausted, and the scholar took back the spell, and also took back the other hand that was pulling the thunder, and smiled: "Humans are living creatures, there will always be a way. This book is not opened, which means that it is for the protection of the living creatures inside. I will explore it after dealing with the current matter."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I have waited for so many years, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer."
"To comfort you, I am also comforting myself. I was also anxious because I couldn't open the book. Haha..."
Yanzhi looked at the smiling scholar. The smile on his face made her feel most at ease over the years. He was much more reliable than that of Taoist Sun.
It was the same when I took Mingyue to become an apprentice. The mother and son had no one to rely on. It was the gentleman in front of me, who smiled the same way as he did back then, that made the journey smooth for the mother and son.
Yanzhi tried hard to force a smile towards the scholar. She finally asked about the matter that had been on her mind for thousands of years. Although the answer was not satisfactory, there was still hope. Then, the fatigue after nourishing her body surged up from her limbs like a tidal wave. She closed her eyes calmly and gently, and her consciousness fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Liangsheng stroked the smooth crimson fur and looked at the nine fluffy tails hanging down on the ground. It was indeed a nine-tailed fox. He had seen a record of it in the Shanhai Tuzhi Mountain Scroll before. The fox demon that he took in out of pity could live to this day. He couldn't help but laugh. It was not just Yanzhi. The white hen in the family and the old donkey beside him had also become demons. Even the Painted Skin had become spiritual after being influenced by daily reading.
'You say you are a god, but you actually raised so many monsters... Hehe.'
His fingertips stroked the crimson fur, and the elegant and slender fox body glowed, shrinking to the size of a kitten. The nine tails turned into one, and Lu Liangsheng picked it up and held it in his arms. He looked in a certain direction, following the fluctuations of the master's and the Taoist's magic power, and walked into the night.
…
In the wild mountains and wilderness, the night wind blew the drooping branches, and at the end of the muddy road below, the roar of car engines came from afar. Soon, two jeeps were speeding, shaking and rolling over the bumpy road, rolling up a series of mud and throwing it to the rear of the car, or on the windshield of the rear car. The open shed was hung with camouflaged branches and leaves. At this moment, someone stood up behind a car behind, looked back, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Did you hear any strange sounds?" Looking at the figure behind him speaking in Western words, his companion with his back to him shook his head, raised his gun, closed his left eye and aimed through the scope. With the help of the night vision function, he could clearly see the end of the muddy road in the past. He looked left and right, his tense expression relaxed, and he smiled and patted the man just now.
"There's nothing behind it. Now that the mission is accomplished, you should relax."
Tap tap… tap tap tap…
As they were talking, along with the roar of the engine, there was also the sound of horse hoofbeats. The person who was talking was stunned for a moment, looking at the darkness behind him, and hurriedly lowered his head to confirm. In the green night vision sight, he saw a black shadow speeding towards him on the muddy road between the shade of trees on both sides.
"It looks like a horse..."
The hoofbeats also attracted the attention of the other people in the car. Another figure stood up, raised his gun, looked through the scope, and frowned: "Why... it looks like a donkey?"
“Can a donkey run that fast?”
In the jeep in front, the burly man sitting in the back seat opened his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the sound came from. At the same time, he saw the vehicles behind suddenly start shouting in panic.
"That thing is catching up!"
“Overtake us…” “It’s a donkey!”
The driver could not help but look in the rearview mirror. On the side of the narrow dirt road, a dark shadow was rapidly approaching in the mirror. In the blink of an eye, it became blurred in everyone's sight. When they could see clearly again, they saw a jeep driving side by side. In the peripheral light of the headlights, they saw an old donkey with its tongue hanging out. Then, it suddenly turned its head to look at them.
Ah ah~~ ah~~
With a neigh, the old donkey suddenly turned around with its front legs on the ground, raised its hooves, and kicked in front of everyone in the car. There was a loud bang, and the hoof prints covered the car door. The terrifying force instantly tore the car body and shook the frame. The figures on it screamed "Ah--" and the jeep rolled over sideways. It rolled and bounced a few times with the remaining force. Another loud bang was heard, and it hit a big tree that three people could hug together. The whole car disintegrated instantly. People's bodies were thrown out and smashed into a bloody mess. No one could see their appearance. Some were thrown into the air, and their bodies were pierced by branches and hung on the branches, shaking back and forth.
The burly man looked back at the first jeep that was still speeding ahead, and his eyelids twitched. In his cognition, how could a donkey have such terrifying speed and strength? Could it be a mutant species
Just as the thought flashed through my mind, the subordinate driving in front suddenly shouted.
“There’s someone ahead!!”
In the bright light of the car's headlights, a figure in Taoist robes was standing with his hands behind his back. About seven or eight meters in front of him was the road. The short figure was wearing flippers and looking up at the night sky with his toad face.
"It's up to me."
Just as he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew over his head, making Toad Taoist stagger all over. The oncoming jeep passed directly over him and sped past his head.
The burly man in the car stared at the Taoist priest who was becoming clearer and clearer in the light.
"Bump into it!"
He said.
