Chapter 226 It’s coming, it’s coming
Zhaoyao Mountain is extremely primitive. The houses are simple wooden ones, the roads are dirt trails trampled by foxes' paws, and all the utensils are extremely primitive, with basically no magical instruments.
Ling Cang's soft foot pads stepped on the road without making any sound. Wei Wenxin felt relaxed and happy while walking on the road.
It feels like coming from a big city to a small mountain village.
Even the market that I saw before was just a shed built with various kinds of wood. There was a wood stove in the shed, which was used to cook food, instead of a spiritual stove.
Looking at those transformed demons, they are all dressed so simply.
It seems that what they said before about the fox tribe having no money was true.
The group soon arrived at the place, which was an empty valley with a pool at the bottom and a large altar beside the pool.
Behind the altar are densely packed small graves.
Obviously, the monsters buried here are not all great monsters with top-level cultivation.
Wei Wenxin brought Ling Cang here after going through the sect's upper echelons, but she was still very careful and checked carefully before letting Ling Cang jump in.
At this time, a group of transformed monsters wearing black and white robes were ready on the altar.
Wei Wenxin waited obediently on the side, not doing anything else, just standing there watching.
I saw the group of big monsters began to dance and sing as they danced. The singing was very melodious and made people drowsy.
Wei Wenxin bit the tip of her tongue and immediately came to her senses, but Ling Cang had sunk completely to the bottom of the water.
Seeing this, Wei Wenxin was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hu Sanlian.
"Be patient, everything is fine. This pool of water can not only wash away the curse on it, but also strengthen its physique, so it needs to be fully immersed in it."
When one’s cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual energy in the body will circulate on its own and one can stay submerged in water without having to worry about drowning.
Wei Wenxin extended his spiritual sense and saw that Ling Cang was indeed calm, so he returned to his original position.
It only took a quarter of an hour to finish singing a song.
Hu Sanlian brought her a bunch of food, told her to come back at the same time tomorrow, and left with a clear mind.
But when she left, she smiled and called her "Aunt", which made Wei Wenxin's face turn red immediately.
That night, Wei Wenxin stayed by Ling Cang's side and never left.
Even if it breathes steadily.
When Ling Cang woke up and saw her, he felt relieved, but his stomach suddenly rumbled.
It didn't bother to be polite with Wei Wenxin. It first asked for a lot of food, and then cleaned out a huge pile of filth from its body.
Wei Wenxin felt disgusted even from the distance when he smelled it, so he threw a storage bag to it and turned his eyes away.
The next day, the demons came again, looked at the sky, confirmed the time, and danced and sang again.
Ling Cang sank to the bottom of the water again and fell into a peaceful sleep.
When it woke up, it opened its eyes and saw Wei Wenxin, and its eyes became softer and softer.
This went on until 49 days later, when the fox tribe announced that the curse on Ling Cang had been completely lifted. Wei Wen was overjoyed and immediately asked to leave.
The reason I’m saying goodbye is not to leave, but to remind these foxes - what about the compensation they promised me?
The fox demons did not want to keep her.
It was Hu Sanlian, whom she was most familiar with, who came over with a smile and led her the way.
"Grandpa Tree Spirit said that if you can truly love and care for the cub and treat the spirit beast as a partner, you can get a branch from it. Please follow me, fellow Taoist."
Wei Wenxin really wants to go home and meditate now. She has been bored these days and has figured out something, which she plans to try out when she gets home.
Without any hesitation, he followed with Ling Cang.
After being washed by the "holy water" of the fox clan, Ling Cang's physique was greatly strengthened. Now he was full of energy and ran around Wei Wenxin at least thirty times along the way.
Wei Wenxin really wanted to slap it, but after thinking it over she decided not to.
The man and the beast followed Hu Sanlian out. After they left the valley, they walked along the ridge for half an hour. They saw a gentle slope in front of them with only a lonely tree on it.
It exudes a faint spiritual light, with black lines on its branches, and its leaves are large, like the paws of some kind of bird, with a thick layer of white hair on the surface. This is a species that Wei Wenxin has never seen before.
When she arrived at the Migu tree, even though she had been allowed to pick a branch herself, she still did not do it. Instead, she respectfully bowed to the tree as a junior:
"Junior Wei Wenxin greets Senior Mi Gu."
Mi Gu Shu didn't expect that she would actually salute him. After hesitating for a while, he finally showed up.
Noticing a pair of feet in front of him, but not hearing anyone talking, Wei Wenxin looked up and saw a male cultivator in front of him. He had a round face and round eyes, and looked very shy, like a little deer.
He quickly lowered his head and saluted again.
Since they are intelligent creatures, it would be very rude to rashly cut off their branches.
Besides, it was the foxes who talked about getting a branch of the mirage tree, and the tree spirit didn't promise it in person.
Wei Wenxin couldn't ignore its wishes and planned to ask it in person, but Mi Gu didn't give her a chance to hesitate. He shook it lightly, pulled out a black hairpin from his head, and handed it to her:
"Here, this is the branch I promised you."
In case she didn't know what it was, he explained, "This is a large piece that was broken off when it was struck by lightning a few years ago. I refined it into a magic weapon. It's easy to carry."
Wei Wenxin didn't say anything, she just tied her hair into a bun and inserted the hairpin firmly on her head.
Her favorite hairstyle on weekdays is a high ponytail, but it is not impossible for her to change her hairstyle in the future.
"Thank you, senior!"
Mi Gu felt reluctant to let her go only after he gave her the hairpin. Without saying much, he waved his hand and let her go.
Wei Wenxin left the mountain and walked along the mountain path towards the mountain gate.
As she was about to leave Zhaoyao Mountain, she felt that this trip had been incredibly smooth and the process had been incredibly simple.
Even though she went to Tianji Sect, she met Lu Zhijin, a very good friend with whom she could talk!
I haven't made any friends here.
Wei Wenxin suppressed the regret in her heart and came to the mountain gate. She was about to go straight into the boundless sea and then go back to the sect when she saw a white fox flapping its four fiery red claws, stumbling over and crying while hugging her legs.
"Grandma, please don't go! Wuuuuu!"
Wei Wenxin picked it up and saw that one of its hind legs was broken.
No wonder you were staggering when you ran just now.
Wei Wen thought to himself, who are you?
Others don’t know who the great aunt is, and don’t you, little fox, know about it?
The little fox had no choice. It was not born in the clan land or from a prominent family. Instead, it was a wild fox, a "hybrid" born from a red fox and a white fox.
Because of his great talent, he received more resources from the tribe as soon as he went up the mountain, which naturally brought hatred.
Two fists cannot beat four hands. There is really no other way. It decides not to suffer a loss in front of it.
In the past, it would not have dared to pester Wei Wenxin, but during this period of time, it would sneak to the altar every day to take a peek, and seeing that she was actually guarding the Bai Ze closely, its heart immediately came to life.
Life now is not as good as I imagined.
Instead of enduring endless exclusion here, it is better to just follow Wei Wenxin.
What about going to show her the mountain gate?
It seems that the Wanjian Sect is not as scary as it imagined!
Then it transformed itself into the appearance of a little girl, hugged Wei Wenxin's neck, and cried loudly:
"Grandma! I don't want you to leave! If you want to leave, take me with you! Woo woo woo, they hit me! Hongyan is in so much pain!"
Well, after knowing it for so long, I only found out that its name is Hongyan.
Wei Wenxin was so confused!
It was fine, and when it didn't come back, it kept making a fuss about wanting to come back. Zhaoyaoshan spent a huge amount of money to bring it back, but now it's making a fuss about leaving again!
She just gave herself the title of "Great Aunt" on a whim, and now she really has become a Great Aunt!
How can this be good?
Do you want to take it with you?
