Chapter 224 Compensation
A group of foxes all transformed into human forms, with varying levels of cultivation, from the highest being the Mahayana to the lowest being the Nascent Soul.
Perhaps the rule of Zhaoyao Mountain is that one can go down the mountain to train only after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
As soon as Wei Wenxin entered the room, he saw a group of eyes staring at him, or to be exact, staring at the little fox in his hand.
Wei Wenxin smiled slightly, put the little fox directly into her arms, and gently touched its back regardless of its trembling.
In fact, it was quite beyond her expectation that the little fox was not afraid of her killing him, but felt fear from the bottom of his heart just when he approached the mountain gate.
Growing up in the Wanjian Sect, Wei Wenxin had never felt so clearly what this huge force meant to a small and weak cultivator.
The red fox was born in Zhaoyao Mountain and had powerful elders to rely on, so he had the courage to plot against her.
This little fox was fearless and could negotiate with her calmly at first. However, once he found that things were out of his control, he immediately panicked.
The foxes in Zhaoyao Mountain were rare visitors, and it seemed that one of their own cultivators had abducted someone else's child. Taoist Master Qingxuan was very kind, not only preparing various high-level spiritual fruits and spiritual springs to entertain them, but also inviting several high-level cultivators to accompany them.
Wei Wenxin had seen a lot of the world, so he wasn't frightened by the situation.
After entering the door, she first bowed to her elders, then waited with a smile for everyone to introduce the group of foxes to her.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
After the greetings, Taoist Qingxuan immediately asked her to explain the situation.
Ling Cang was cursed, and Wei Wenxin did not try to make it hide, but let it pull the cart openly. The group of foxes caught up with it because they noticed the curse along the way, and they actually did not understand the cause of the incident.
Wei Wenxin did not exaggerate and simply told the story of what happened.
"I was originally going to Danxin Sect to buy elixirs, but I encountered this incident halfway. I was afraid of being retaliated by the fox elders who didn't know the truth, so I had to take this little guy and turn back first."
After saying that, he didn't make things difficult and just threw the little fox into the arms of Hu Sanlian, the leader.
It was the first time that Wei Wenxin saw so many foxes, and she couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
There are many storybooks in the world that always portray foxes as stunning beauties, but these foxes are not like that.
The most beautiful one is just pretty and charming.
One of them even has a big belly and chubby cheeks, which looks quite funny with its narrow eyes.
In the minds of the people, the fox clan is still a symbol of cunning and wisdom.
Not at all.
At least half of them look very honest.
After she told them what had happened, they asked the little fox and confirmed that Wei Wenxin was not lying. Hu Sanlian immediately offered compensation.
"My Zhaoyao Mountain is poor, and we have to rely on the whole clan to go out to work to feed the little fox. If we give you a group of fat chickens, we are afraid that you will get tired of eating them, so we plan to give you a Migu branch and remove the mark for your spirit beast."
Lost grain branches?
Wei Wenxin knew what it was as soon as he heard it.
"I have a good sense of direction, I don't need this thing."
Wei Wenxin was not satisfied with the compensation and naturally refused it.
She just couldn't believe that such a large race had nothing else except chickens!
"You probably don't know that my clan is good at illusions. This Migu tree is also the only spiritual root of heaven and earth in the entire Qinghuan Realm. It is not just a guide for people. Wearing it can also make you immune to all illusions and magic arrays in the world."
Afraid that she still could not understand the value of the Lost Grain Tree, another fox gently explained:
"This thing can break our own secret method. Normally, we would not give it to others."
Wei Wen hesitated, looked at his master, then at his uncle-master, and saw that they both had confused expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had never come into contact with this thing.
Most of the time, like Wei Wenxin, they only know some rumors that everyone knows.
Unexpectedly, Master Mingying nodded.
"Indeed, this Mi Gu tree is quite magical, and Zhaoyao Mountain rarely gives it away as a gift. More than 10,000 years ago, a senior in our Wanjian Sect had one, and when he ascended to heaven, he took it to the fairyland."
Wei Wenxin still didn't really want this, but seeing that the group of silly foxes were only busy amusing the child and that they were dressed very ordinary, she couldn't bear to force them, so she sighed and nodded.
"In that case, I will call my Bai Ze here, and you can help him remove the curse!"
Hu Sanlian touched the little fox's head, rubbed his hands, and smiled embarrassedly:
"You have to go back to Zhaoyao Mountain with us and soak in the pool of our sacrificial ground for 49 days, and then use our clan's secret method to do this."
Wei Wenxin didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and she couldn't help but frown. Hu Sanlian rubbed his hands again, and then explained to her gently: "Our curse rarely needs to be solved, so the process is a bit cumbersome..."
The curse that was set at the cost of the fox clan's flesh, blood, and soul can only be lifted by going to the place where the ancestors are buried and letting the deceased souls rest in peace.
Very reasonable, absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Wei Wenxin was so conflicted.
After finally going out, she immediately ran into trouble. She was about to stay home, but someone told her that she had to go out again and it would take quite a while.
Wei Wenxin had no choice but to call Ling Cang over.
Ling Cang licked his lips while eating the honey, and he felt good when he thought of the group of angry spirit bees.
As soon as I entered the door and saw this scene, my eyes widened immediately!
When he heard that he had to go to Zhaoyao Mountain again, he immediately became unhappy!
Because it is the time to harvest spiritual honey recently, if you want to eat the freshest spiritual honey under the noses of the spiritual bees and make them crazy at the same time, you only have a few days.
It doesn't want to go out.
"Can't you just say hello and let your fox see me instead of making things difficult for me?"
As long as the fox tribe doesn't take action, whether it is marked or not, other people can't see it and it won't affect its life.
Hu Sanlian rubbed his hands in embarrassment again: "There is no way. Many of the seniors have left the mountain for who knows how many years. I don't know where they have settled. How can I notify them?"
Seeing that neither the man nor the beast wanted to go, Hu Sanlian looked at the little fox anxiously:
"Moreover, in order to make the Migu branch, Fellow Daoist Wei must go back with us, meet the tree spirit in person, get its permission, and pluck it from the tree with his own hands. Only then will it be effective."
"In other words, if the tree spirit doesn't give it to me, your promise will be empty words?"
Wei Wenxin was very perceptive and immediately discovered the loophole.
"This, this... As long as you are not a bad person, Grandpa Dryad will agree."
If anyone could break branches off the tree and harm them, they would rather die than give them away.
On the contrary, it will directly destroy the tree.
Even if it cannot be destroyed, it will be imprisoned and no one will have the chance to touch it.
Seeing Wei Wenxin's eyebrows raised, Hu Sanlian knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly added:
"We also produce precious jade in Zhaoyao Mountain, which can be used to make jewelry. If you don't get the Migu branch, we will replace it with something else and let you choose it yourself in the treasury."
Having said that, Wei Wenxin had no choice but to pack up and set off again.
When they went out and stepped onto the floating platform, Wei Wenxin took out the carriage and arranged Ling Cang to pull it. Just as he was about to go in, a little fox appeared in his arms.
"Our shuttle is not comfortable to sit on, so please ask Brother Wei to take it with you."
Seeing so many foxes transformed into their original forms and crowded on the same five-person shuttle, Wei Wenxin's eyebrows jumped and he couldn't help but complain:
"Those two fox elders from the Piaoxue Sect look quite wealthy! They even have a mustard seed hut! How come you are in such a miserable state?"
Hu Sanlian and others were very anxious, and rushed out as soon as they got on the shuttle.
They didn't hear what Wei Wenxin said, but the little fox raised its red paws to rub its face, squatted on the low table, and said calmly:
"Because the two seniors are the most famous pair of profiteers in Zhaoyao Mountain. Humph, you wouldn't have eaten their expensive meals, right?"
As soon as it left the Wanjian Sect, it immediately put on its disguise again, and Wei Wenxin ignored it.
But it's hard not to feel a little pain in my heart.
Because she did spend a lot of spirit stones there.
Thinking that the spirit stones all belonged to Hua's Qiu Tianlu, he suddenly felt relieved.
Never mind, that chicken is indeed delicious!
However, when she arrived at Zhaoyao Mountain, she realized that she was wrong.
In the gathering place of the fox clan, there was steamed chicken everywhere, the same as the one she had eaten in Piaoxue Sect, but it only cost thirty spirit stones.
When I opened the lid of the pot, it was still a whole one!
Sure enough, sometimes rumors are not without reason.
Zhaoyao Mountain is an interesting place. I will take you there tomorrow. Good night, friends. I am going to peel bamboo shoots and cook them, or they will be overcooked tomorrow. I have a friend who loves peeling bamboo shoots, so I am following him.
