Chapter 24 [Fox Valley]
"Hey, what are you doing hiding, and I won't eat you."
Fang Chang stepped forward, stretched out his hand to push aside the grass nest, and pulled out a trembling fox from it.
When the little fox was pulled out, he tightly covered his eyes with his front paws, as if he was afraid to watch the tragedy that followed.
Seeing the fox like this, Fang Chang almost laughed out loud.
Yun Zhongshan is really rich in products, even the little demons that have become fine are rich.
This fox's cultivation is not bad. Fang Chang took a closer look and saw that it had refined its bones and could speak human words. It is a little surprising that this kind of half-big fox can reach this level.
In the vast world, there are all kinds of wonders, but it is not out of the ordinary.
Seeing that the person holding him was silent, the fox slowly let go of his claws, then bowed in mid-air, and at the same time screamed in a not-so-fluent language: "There is less meat!"
Fang Chang laughed out loud.
It is estimated that it saw the situation where it hunted rabbits before, and was frightened.
After all, a live rabbit was held down by a human right in front of his eyes, and then died, and the speed of the human was absolutely unstoppable by himself. The scene is powerful for this little-informed half-fox, who realizes that he seems to be in danger.
Seeing the human being stroking his fur and laughing, the fox was even more frightened, and shouted loudly while bowing:
"There is an old man!"
Fang Chang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat Kai Hui's creatures."
Hearing this, the fox's body softened, and then he felt that someone had put him on the ground, so he turned his head and glanced, remembering the person who just lifted his neck, and then spread his legs and ran towards the depths of the valley.
The intelligent birds and beasts are completely different from ordinary beasts.
Whether they have just awakened from ignorance, or have refined their bones to be human-speakable, or have acquired a human body, all of them no longer belong to the original species—although there is no reproductive isolation in the original form.
For Fang Chang, hunting and eating meat is normal. After all, his practice of nature needs to be close to nature, but it is by no means an extreme environmentalist.
This "nature" is more inclined to comprehend the world in accordance with the heart.
Such as spirit beasts, although they seem to be very nourishing on the bright side, eating them or even killing them for no reason is also detrimental to cultivation.
Gain because all living beings who have enlightened wisdom in the world have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. If they communicate, they will be entangled in cause and effect.
Similarly, monsters cannibalize people.
As human beings who are blessed by heaven and earth and born with spirits, they are entangled by thousands of dense causes and effects. If monsters kill more and eat for a long time, they will be haunted by hostility, and their spirituality will be blinded until they go crazy and can never escape.
Seeing the little fox running away, Fang Chang turned around.
On the hillside in front of him, Zhang Shanshen was walking down slowly with a cane, and said with a smile:
"Shangxian really has a kind heart."
Seeing Zhang Shanshen walking freely and energetically, Fang Chang bowed his hands in salute, and greeted him: "It turns out that Zhang Shanshen is in person, but it seems that he has finished his rest?"
"I would like to thank Shangxian for this matter. People from Linxi Village specially came to worship. During this time, there was a lot of incense, and the little **** was able to recover quickly."
This is very close to the hillside where the mountain temple is located. The mountain **** let Fang Chang pass by, sat down on the two big rocks where he usually stayed, and said with a little apology: "I have been bedridden recently, and I haven't been able to collect some snacks. I have nothing. It can be used as a treat."
Fang Chang asked curiously: "The chestnuts and pine nuts Zhang Shanshen used before are very good, but there are many pine trees nearby, but he has never seen a chestnut tree. I wonder where the mountain **** picked them?"
Zhang Shanshen pointed out:
"Counting from here to the north, the fifth mountain is full of chestnut trees. The mountain is not high, and the mountains separated from here are not low, so it cannot be seen from here."
After chatting about the geography in the mountains for a while, Fang Chang said:
"This Yunzhong Mountain is really a place of beauty. The little fox just now seemed to be born not many years ago, and he became wise. Although I haven't seen many monsters, I know this is a miracle."
"This." The mountain **** laughed dumbly, "There is indeed a reason for the fox's situation, and I happen to know it. Anyway, there is nothing wrong, why don't you come and visit with me?"
Fang Chang gladly accepted the mountain god's invitation.
The two went together and came to a valley northwest of the mountain temple.
This place lives under the hillside full of tall and luxuriant green pines, with dense grass, but the land is quite dry due to the sun. It is also a good place to live for the mountain creatures.
The mountain **** walked to the entrance of the valley, paused his crutches, and shouted towards the valley: "Is Hu Feng's old friend in the mansion? The old Zhang Zeqing is here to visit."
After a few breaths, Gu Li responded with a hearty and sharp voice, but he was short of breath: "Of course, Zhang Shanshen will wait for a while, and I will come out to greet you."
After a while, two foxes, big and small, came out from the valley.
The little fox next to him was the one that Fang Chang had caught just now, and now he was a little timid after seeing Fang Chang.
The other fox is much larger than the other foxes, with soft and golden fur, only four feet are black, but it is obviously old, and it is quite inconvenient to move, and it needs the help of the little fox.
"Rare guest, er, this is..." Compared with the little fox next to him, this old fox is obviously more knowledgeable. After seeing the situation around the two of them, he immediately came over and said: "Little demon Hu Feng, bring Sun Hu Yun to see this As an immortal, I have seen God Zhangshan."
"Your name is also Yun?" Fang Chang waved his hand in return, then looked at the little fox beside him and said.
Seeing that the mountain **** next to him was curious, he smiled and explained: "There is a little monkey with an enlightened spirit on the fairy habitat cliff. He refined the horizontal bone a few days ago and came to visit him. So I named him Sun and named him Yun. Met another Hu Yun."
The little fox's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. The old fox pushed twice and had to salute apologetically.
The mountain **** introduced: "Hu Feng is a fox demon. He helped me a lot in the past. We always see each other every two years. The little one next to him is his grandson Hu Yun. Hu Feng, this is Fang The Immortal Elder lives on the Immortal Habitat Cliff not far away, and he is a true Immortal with Taoism."
Hu Feng, grandson and grandson invited one person and one **** into the valley, and took out sweet and sour berries to entertain them.
During the conversation, Fang Chang learned that Zhang Shanshen noticed that Fang Chang had captured Hu Yun not far away, and was about to come up to plead for mercy. Fortunately, Fang Chang just picked up the little fox for a look, and then let it go. This made the mountain **** breathe a sigh of relief.
Hu Feng, an old vixen, has been a demon for a hundred years, and now he is old and dying.
Regarding this matter, the old fox is very open-minded:
"Everything in the world cannot escape aging and reincarnation. There is an end to the world, let alone the next little fox demon. The biggest regret is that I never got a human body, but this is because I missed the Dao."
"I only wish to be reincarnated as an adult in the next life, to enjoy the prosperity of the world of mortals, and if I am lucky enough to take the road of cultivation again, that would be the best. It's just that my hundreds of younger generations are all muddle-headed fools, only this Hu Yun is more upbeat and successful. .”
"In other words, this is my only descendant. I hope Zhang Shanshen will take care of you and me because of our friendship. As for after death, I have mentioned it many times. Hu Yun, remember, I was buried in the nearby field of flowers. The hillside of flowers, this is my hometown and the place where I grew up, I hope my life will end in this beautiful place."
