Chapter 117: You Should Learn More from Your Third Third Shixiong!

"Heroes, spare it for now!"

The bean soldier holding a shield in his left hand and a saber in his right had just rushed forward, wanting to end this evil creature's life, when he was called out by Lin Jue. His figure paused, but he was not stiff at all, just turned around, and killed the fox soldiers beside him again.

These foxes were either already scared out of their wits or filled with grief and indignation; at this time, with the bean soldiers gone, they all became ghosts under the saber.

Lin Jue first took his sword to look at his own fox—

On the muddy, dead-leaf ground, in a small pit, a small pit that didn't catch the moonlight, lay a white fox, the contrast between black and white was distinct, and the fox was struggling to climb up.

Seeing Lin Jue, its expression froze, as if curious why he wasn't fighting the dog anymore, so it turned its head, looked around, almost figured out the situation, and then continued to climb out of the pit.

Shaking its head, somewhat dizzy.

Stumbling out two steps, it didn't fall, just shook its head again; perhaps it felt the problem was in its brain.

"Are you okay?"

"Ying-woo..."

Lin Jue didn't understand what it said.

Maybe it didn't know either.

Then he checked, saw it had no major problems, just a dizzy head, so he let it play drunken boxing here, and turned to walk to the side of the old fox with his sword.

The old fox had a broken tail, an injured hind leg, and was stuck with a few flying darts, its breath was weak, but it was still crawling on the ground, and had even crawled a distance.

The tenacious vitality of the yaoguai was vividly reflected in it.

Seeing Lin Jue come, it stopped.

There was still the sound of fighting around.

No need to turn its head to look, and it had no strength, but it also knew that it must be the two or three armored soldiers and the female Daoist killing its children and grandchildren.

Lifting its eyelids, this Daoist was covered in moonlight, the long sword in his hand was bloody, and also reflecting cold light, staring at it.

"I heard that you were divided into two sides in the past, often fighting, I suppose you surrendered to the Demon King, that's why you won, right?"

"You... want to say... what..."

The old fox was very weak, but saw through his heart at a glance.

In the legends of the world, fox yaoguai are often clever and exquisite, able to see through people's hearts and good at bewitching people's hearts. This is mostly true, but after they entered the evil path, even their own hearts were no longer transparent, naturally losing much of the exquisite ability. It's just that they are still clever.

"Third Shixiong is also a fox yaoguai, not young, I picked up this fox from the mountain, raised it with one hand, I would like to ask senior, do you know its origin?"

The old fox entered the evil path, but at this time the fox was about to die, and Lin Jue had something to ask it, so he casually took out two honorifics.

"I... why... tell you..."

"How about exchanging it for giving senior a quick death?"

"Hehehe..."

The old fox lay on the ground laughing, blood foam coming out of its mouth.

"Unwilling?"

"In the legends of the world... fox yaoguai are always... clever..." The old fox said intermittently: "The Daoist is kind-hearted... you won't torture me... not to mention you... raised a fox... your... feelings... even more won't torture this old body in front of it..."

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head helplessly, didn't say much, stood up, and lifted his sword.

The old fox closed its eyes.

Just as the long sword was about to stab down, it opened its eyes again, seemingly deciding to inform him after all:

"Although... foxes have many clans... categories... but this old body has lived for over a hundred years... whether it is an ordinary fox or fox yaoguai... I can still tell..."

"What do you mean?"

The old fox opened its eyes but didn't speak.

Resting for a moment, it opened its mouth, as if it had recovered a little, and actually shouted loudly:

"Quickly go and invite the Pear Ancestor!"

Lin Jue's eyes froze instantly.

The long sword stabbed down suddenly!

Puff! Ended its life!

Turning to look, the battlefield beside him was also nearing its end, most of the foxes were either eliminated or had fled.

"Pear Ancestor..."

Lin Jue thought about it.

Before in the temple, among the few sheets of paper he saw, it seemed there was one that said that there was a forest in a certain village where one could enter but not exit, and even pear trees came out to harm people.

If it was nearby...

Then the Daoist friends from Xianyuan Temple he met at dusk today should be the ones who went there.

They must have fought too, right?

Invite the Pear Ancestor? I fear the Pear Ancestor is also unable to take care of itself.

Lin Jue flicked the blood off his sword, seeing the three bean soldiers all walk back to his side, the junior sister also returned, his own fox had fallen heavily, still playing drunken boxing, but asking it, it was fine, which was quite magical.

"The fox yaoguai here have been causing trouble for a long time, harming many people, thank you three heroes for your help tonight!"

Lin Jue chanted incantations, first recalling all the arrows shot by the archer and putting them into the quiver to avoid loss and waste, then chanted again:

"Body returns to the spirit bean, soldiers return to the Great Wall."

The three bean soldiers shrank instantly, turning into beans.

Lin Jue took them back into his bosom, then looked at the distant village.

The village was quiet; if there were people, they must have woken up long ago, just not daring to make a sound.

If there were dogs in the village, they must have woken up too.

"Where are the house dogs in the village?

"Please come out for a meeting!"

Lin Jue exerted his magical power and shouted loudly.

The night was quiet, and the sound echoed in the mountains.

Before long, there was some rustling ahead, and pairs of yellow-green glowing eyes appeared in the moonlight, all hiding in the grass, quietly looking at him and then at the fox corpses all over the ground, shivering and not daring to make a sound.

Sure enough, there were still living dogs.

Truly cowardly...

Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh, then straightened his expression:

"People raising you was originally to watch the house and guard the courtyard, but the foxes became spirits and entered the evil path, and there were many of them, so it's not your fault that you couldn't fight them. However, at this time, the main culprits of the fox yaoguai have been eliminated by us, and most of the foxes have died here, so it is time to hold your heads high.

"Some wild foxes ran away at this time and fled into the mountains and forests; it is truly not easy for us Daoists to track them. This is your specialty, so please help and go and bite them to death, which can be considered fulfilling your duty to protect the home."

Lin Jue pointed to the two old fox corpses on the ground, bowed to them, thought for a moment, and added another sentence:

"These foxes all have death energy on them, which is a kind of foul smell, the same as the foxes on the ground; if you encounter those without this smell, you can let them go."

The local dogs were clever, looking at each other.

They were actually silent for a long while.

I don't know when, there was a low roar, as if squeezed from the throat. Gradually, one sound became two, and after there were more sounds, the volume also became louder, gradually becoming a roar.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

A large area of dog barking sounded.

This group of dogs rushed to the nearest fox corpse, sniffed it, turned their heads, and rushed into the mountain forest full of anger, scrambling to be first, their momentum fierce.

Lin Jue lowered his head to look—

The fox at his feet was no longer playing drunken boxing, but ran to the nearest old fox, sniffed it, lifted its claws, and beat it fiercely.

"Come back."

The fox looked up at him, then stopped boxing, walked back to his side, lay down as usual, licked its claws, and used its claws to wash its face, its movements the same as the cats in the temple.

There was rustling beside...

The old man pushed aside the thorns and walked out.

"Old sir is fine." Lin Jue bowed to him, "It's good that you're fine."

"Fine, fine..."

The old man's steps were unstable, his eyes widened, seeming extremely shocked.

Although he was hiding in the depths of the mountain forest, the moonlight was bright and clear, allowing his dim old eyes to see some things. Not to mention the explosion of flames, the chanting and shouting sounds were probably heard all over the mountain, let alone the fox corpses all over the ground and the scattered weapons at this time.

"Immortals..."

Thinking that when he was in the Daoist temple, he had looked down on these two Daoists because they were young, he was truly ashamed.

"Thank you, immortals!"

The old man, I don't know how old, bowed deeply to them.

"Old sir, no need for such courtesy."

"Since the yaoguai and spirits have been eliminated, the village is also peaceful, so please let the two Daoists rest in this old man's home, and tomorrow, we can have a hot meal."

"No hurry, no hurry..."

Lin Jue frowned and thought.

What was the name of the village that had the tree demon?

It seemed to be called Gong Village?

"May I ask old sir, is Gong Village nearby?"

"Gong Village? Gong Village is not close, but not far, about twenty or thirty miles away." The old man looked at them, "Daoist wants to go? This old man can take you Daoists there tomorrow!"

"Sure enough..."

Lin Jue thought for a moment; listening to the old fox's tone, this "Pear Ancestor" seemed to be fiercer than them?

I don't know how the Daoist friends of Xianyuan Temple are doing!

"We are in a hurry, the night road is slippery, no need to trouble the old sir, just tell us how to go."

"That's fine." The old man thought for a moment; his eyes were dim, and he was afraid he wouldn't see clearly at night, and he would drag them down, so he pointed ahead, "There is a small river at the entrance of our village, there is a small path by the river, follow the small path by the river downstream and you can go straight to Gong Village. Gong Village is also full of pears."

"Good!"

While speaking, the fox had already entered the mountain, found the mule that the old man had run away in fear, and led it back.

Lin Jue helped the old man onto the mule and walked forward.

Sending him into the village, he bid him farewell, and the senior brother and junior sister turned back and walked downstream along the small river.

"Third Shixiong brother, that fox has the magic art of spitting ice, if only we could learn it."

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about this?"

"Third Shixiong brother, my clothes are torn."

"Is that so..."

Lin Jue looked at her by the moonlight, seeing her Daoist robe torn to pieces, especially on her back, many places had become cloth strips, revealing the skin inside, some with some blue and purple, some with shallow blood marks; he thought it must have been caused by the hacking and beating of the fox soldiers after she fell to the ground and turned into a stone statue just now. After all, even if the fox's strength was weak, if a knife hacked on a stone, there would be marks.

But she didn't say a word, only saying her clothes were torn, but didn't mention the injuries on her body at all.

It seemed as if she couldn't feel it.

"Junior sister, in this day and age, the path of cultivation also involves injuries and suffering..."

Lin Jue took off his clothes and draped them over her.

"Thank you, senior brother!" The junior sister seemed not to have heard his words, just asked, "Third Shixiong brother! Why did that fox call you despicable?"

"Who knows?"

"What did you do to it?"

"Won the fight against it."

"Oh..."

The junior sister's expression was solemn, thinking seriously.

It must be that the senior brother used some intelligence, and the fox lost to the senior brother, was unwilling, and jealous of the senior brother's wisdom, that's why it spoke rudely.

I should learn more from the senior brother!

"Your clothes are suitable for repairing roads on the mountain, plus your messy hair and dirty face from repairing the road, you're only missing a chipped bowl."

"Stone dust is not dirty!"

"Hehehe..."

Under the moonlight, the two held swords and went toward Gong Village. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
