Chapter 306: The Fox Has Grown Up and Can Support the Family

The next morning, Wu Lingshi was invited to visit.

Perhaps he did not know that these "cultivation experts" like Lin Jue, when he came to send silver, all waved their hands and did not take it, and their daily life was simpler than Master Fan Tian Shi's, but in fact, they needed silver.

Perhaps he only thought that Lin Jue was making friends with Master Fan Tian Shi and Pan Gong, living in the same place, but only got a silver medal from the Juxian Mansion, while the other two were gold medals, so it didn't look good on the surface, so he wanted to accumulate credit to exchange for a gold medal worthy of his ability and status as soon as possible, or thought that Lin Jue just simply wanted to eliminate monsters for the people.

In short, after noticing this, he immediately took the recent events in the capital and came to invite the fox immortal of the Zhenren family to take action.

Most of them are small monsters and ghosts in the city.

After all, this is the capital, with a prosperous popularity, and the Guanxing Palace sits here. No matter how lazy the divine beings under Lord Tianweng are, they will not allow great monsters to make trouble in the capital.

So Lin Jue only let the fox take action.

A fox bigger than an ordinary mountain tiger by three points, even without any magical power or spells, without any divinity, just relying on claws and teeth for close combat, most small monsters could not fight it.

Not to mention that what the fox is good at has never been claws and teeth, but intelligence and a body of magical powers.

When it comes to ability, whether it was fighting with small monsters in the past or fighting with great monsters now, it has always been Lin Jue's good helper!

Going out to eradicate monsters is naturally easy.

For the first few days, the Ministry of Rites still considered Lin Jue's ability and reputation. Although they were small monsters, the tribute silver sent was higher than normal. However, Lin Jue soon found something wrong. After confirming with Master Fan Tian Shi and telling Wu Lingshi solemnly again, it was fine after that, and the last bit of miscellaneous taste belonging to flattery and fawning in the silver was gone.

Every day, Lin Jue would sit in the courtyard, meditate and cultivate, carve bean soldiers, study and gain insights into other spells, and occasionally cook tea, make food, play chess, and drink wine, only letting Fuyao run around outside to earn money alone.

The fox has grown up and can earn money to subsidize the family.

There is absolutely no guilt, only every day before the fox goes out, Lin Jue will discuss with it how to deal with the enemy and how to act. Sometimes Lord Luo is there, sometimes Master Fan Tian Shi and Pan Gong are there, and sometimes Daoist friend Wan even comes to visit, all centering on the fox, both discussing and giving advice.

When it returns, it tells them about today's events, a few words of flattery and compliment, or a few small suggestions.

Gradually to the mid-summer season.

In the courtyard in the evening, under the begonia tree, a cup of cold tea to relieve the summer heat, the leaves rustled, the light and shadow were mottled, the Daoist priest just sat at the table without moving, and there was a bit of the flavor of early strange stories.

Unexpectedly, there was a fox beside him, speaking human words:

"That is also a fox! But not the kind of fox Fuyao is, it is the kind of fox that is everywhere! It turns into a human, lives with humans, absorbs human essence, and turns back into a fox when it thunders!"

The fox is telling about today's events.

"Did it have a fight with you?" The Daoist priest sitting under the tree asked with concern.

"No fight!" The fox squatted on the ground, needing to look up at him to look him in the eye, "I turned into a big fox, and it was scared to the ground all at once, lying on the ground and shaking!"

"Fuyao is truly amazing." Lin Jue said, "During this period of time, just by scaring, you have scared away quite a few monsters and ghosts, right?"

"Quite a few!"

"Hmm..."

It seems that a fox with several tails has some status in the world of monsters and ghosts.

However, this is also normal. Not to mention the monster world, even in the mortal world, the rumors of the nine-tailed fox still exist to this day. If it were in ancient times, it was also a divine being widely worshipped by people. People die and become ghosts. As long as they still remember a few things from their lifetime, remember the rumors of the nine-tailed fox they heard, and remember that this is a fox immortal, even if they are ghosts, they will feel fear.

"Finally?"

"The person in black clothes put it in a cage and took it away!"

"That is a catcher, right?"

"Catcher!" The fox repeated, and said again, "Wu Lingshi said, send money for tea and water tomorrow morning!"

"Understood." Lin Jue said, "It seems Fuyao is getting more and more amazing."

"Understood!"

One person and one fox are very satisfied.

This is a fair exchange. Fuyao gives silver, and Lin Jue gives emotional value.

However, just at this moment, the fox suddenly turned its head and looked outside.

That side was just a clean white courtyard wall, but its gaze moved from right to left on the white wall, accompanied by a hurried sound of footsteps that gradually became clear. By the time the fox's gaze moved to the round gate, Wu Lingshi's figure also appeared in the round gate.

"Here to send money!"

The fox immediately turned its head to look at Lin Jue.

"No."

Lin Jue shook his head and said.

The fox was puzzled and tilted its head to look.

But seeing Wu Lingshi panting, his expression was also flustered and solemn, obviously there was an urgent matter. He walked to the courtyard gate, supported the round door frame with his hand, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door frame, when he saw one person and one fox at a glance. Lord Luo's figure holding a knife also appeared behind them at some point.

So he stopped the action of knocking on the door.

The fox raised its gaze; the setting sun cast golden light, and every bamboo stalk and every leaf was projected as a shadow onto the white wall, which set it to thinking.

"Came early to send money!"

"No."

"In a hurry to send money!"

"No."

"Someone came to send money!"

"Neither."

Lin Jue answered while standing up.

This fox is truly stubborn. Because it opened its mouth first and said "Here to send money", even if it saw that it was dusk rather than morning, saw Wu Lingshi's anxious face, and saw that Wu Lingshi came alone, no matter which point could explain that he was not here to send money, it still had to stubbornly link it to "sending money".

It is a stubborn fox.

And in front, Wu Lingshi raised his hand to salute them, but was too tired to straighten his waist. He opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was dry and hoarse, plus he was panting heavily, so he couldn't say anything at all.

He had to arch his hands and bury his head, which counted as a salute.

"Lingshi, please come in, drink a cup of tea, and then speak slowly."

"Good..."

Wu Lingshi walked in quickly. Seeing Lord Luo handing him the teapot, he took the teapot, first saluted and thanked Lord Luo and Lin Jue, then raised his head and opened his mouth, lifted the teapot, and poured the tea into his mouth from a distance.

After a few gulps, the tea flowed down his neck.

He only felt the tea was clear, light, and fragrant, and extremely cold, just right for relieving the summer heat and thirst. After a few gulps, he felt much better.

"Your body needs exercise!"

"Needs exercise!"

Lin Jue and the fox said one after another.

"Many thanks, Lin Zhenren. Zhenren's guidance is correct!" Wu Lingshi said while holding the teapot with both hands and putting it back on the table, and then said to them: "Something big is bad! The subordinate just received news that a powerful monster came to Jinping County in the northwest, not only robbing the road and cutting off the path, swallowing living people, but also slaughtering officials and guards, and even the postman couldn't send the letter!"

"Eh?"

Lin Jue and Lord Luo both had their expressions frozen, and looked at each other.

This is Qin Zhou, the hinterland of Great Jiang, where the capital is located, not the north. I am afraid such things haven't appeared for many years, right?

Had to persuade him not to be anxious and speak slowly.

"Wasn't there a rainstorm for several consecutive days last month? The rainstorm caused disasters in various places. Some roads were blocked, serious villages were washed away by mudslides, and even more serious, the entire city was flooded. Every summer, the water disaster in Jinping County is very serious.

"Since last month, Jinping County has lost contact with the capital. We only thought the road was blocked at that time and didn't think it was anything, but it hasn't recovered until today.

"Yesterday, the subordinate also heard some adults say, don't let there be a rebellion in the northwest.

"Until today, just now, a group of people in rags came to the capital. I don't know how they mixed into the city. Half of them were promoting in the busy market, and half of them knelt in front of the yamen and the palace. Only then did we know that Jinping County actually had a powerful monster.

"That monster is arrogant and fierce. It is said that on the first day it entered the city, it slaughtered all the officials and guards in the city, then cut off the road, sealed the city and raised people. Those people luckily escaped a disaster, and after thousands of hardships, they ran to the capital to report."

Wu Lingshi said, taking a long breath.

Lin Jue listened, his brows tightly locked:

"Northwest..."

Lord Luo said coldly: "Look at what you have managed this world into? Such a big thing as people being sealed and raised by monsters, actually needs people to run to the capital to report before you know it! And the people don't even dare to report directly to the government, but have to promote in the busy market!"

Wu Lingshi had nothing to say; this is not something he can manage.

"In short, the capital is already in an uproar. The people in the city are panicked, discussing it endlessly. The yamen and those above are also very anxious, and the people of Jinping County are kneeling at the yamen gate, refusing to leave!" said Wu Lingshi. "The Daoists of the Star Gazing Palace and several lords are all worried, fearing that the demon king in the northwest has the intention to invade the human world."

Lin Jue and Lord Luo did not speak for a while, both pondering in silence.

"Do you know what kind of monster it is?" Lin Jue asked.

"Those people don't know. Only people say they heard wolf howling, and some people say they saw the monster turn into a bird and fly away." Wu Lingshi said.

"Isn't the Juxian Mansion having some capable people confronting that monster king in the northwest?" Lord Luo asked, "Why don't they know about this?"

"The Juxian Mansion does have a few Heavenly Masters and True Lords seeking ways to eliminate that monster king in the northwest, but they are in another direction, and that monster king had never touched Jinping County before." Wu Lingshi said.

"It seems that it also knows how to use schemes." Lin Jue said.

"It's not just that. I once heard that troubled times produce demons, and demons, monsters, and ghosts all like to borrow the momentum to rise." Lord Luo analyzed, "It may also be that there was a natural disaster this year, and Jinping County did die quite a few people, and that monster took advantage of this opportunity to occupy it and invade the mortal world."

Both of them understood.

Even so, for a monster to dare to do such a thing, it must have seen that the mortal dynasty has reached its end.

"Lin Zhenren, the subordinate can't explain clearly. At this time, the people of Jinping County are still kneeling at the yamen gate and the palace gate, saying that if the imperial court doesn't send troops, they won't get up. Please go and see!" Wu Lingshi said anxiously.

The two people looked at each other slightly.

Sure enough, this is the only way to make this imperial court and yamen anxious now. ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
