Chapter 723: Fire Comes

But even someone as cheerful as her pursed her lips at this moment, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

The foxes were learning to control fire. The bonfire in front of the altar was burning fiercely, and the pine wood oil produced a rich and fragrant aroma under the catalysis of the flame.

The fire for the bonfire was taken from the incense burner on the altar, and it still had the scent of incense.

The foxes gathered around the campfire, each with a thin, dry pine branch in front of them.

All they had to do was use magic to take out flames from the campfire and light the pine branches in front of them.

But at this moment, most of the foxes were staring at the campfire with distraction. The warm flames and pleasant pine scent made them relax, but it was easy for them to relax too much and turn into little animals warming themselves by the fire.

The disadvantage of adjusting the order of the nine methods is that there is not enough time to lay a solid foundation for practicing Qi and nourishing the spirit, resulting in slow progress in the subsequent practice of escape techniques and self-defense methods.

Practicing Buddhism is not an easy thing.

Just like being a person, understanding oneself, understanding others, and understanding the relationships between people is a lifelong task. People spend their entire lives dealing with the relationships between themselves and others.

In terms of spiritual practice, understanding the relationship between man and heaven and earth, and learning to get along with heaven and earth are also eternal lessons.

For the little foxes, they have no way to understand the world on their own and can only borrow the experience of their predecessors.

It's like a parent pointing to a stranger and saying, "This person has a good heart and is a good person. We can get along with him. When he comes, we should treat him with delicious food and fine wine, listen to him, and share his troubles with him. If he has difficulties, we should help him, and he will help us.

This is what the Great Immortal Beilai is doing now. Based on the experience summarized by his predecessors and his own actual practice, he teaches Fox Boy the method of making use of the different spiritual opportunities between heaven and earth.

However, if the foundation of practicing Qi and nourishing the spirit is not very solid, the experience of predecessors will be greatly reduced.

Gong Mengbi walked to the side of Beilai Daxian, who nodded to him.

Looking at the foxes in front of the altar, some had already succeeded. These had already practiced a little before entering school, knowing some tricks such as fanning the dark wind and lighting will-o'-the-wisp, and they easily completed them based on their old experience.

Some foxes gradually tried to figure it out, using their meager magical powers and weak spirits, following the Taoist teachings of the Great Immortal Beilai. They could barely sense the fervent fire, causing the flames in the bonfire to dance slightly. However, they couldn't tell whether the flames were already dancing or if they had already achieved some results.

Most of the foxes were distracted and were simply enjoying the joy of the campfire.

Gong Mengbi picked up a pine branch, walked to the campfire, and brought the pine branch close to the campfire. Soon, the pine branch was ignited and a faint smoke floated up.

"To light the pine branches, just get close to the flame." Gong Mengbi said.

Master Gong came in person, and the foxes all looked at him.

“If the flame were a person, it was beckoning me to come closer. When I came closer, the pine branches ignited.”

"If I don't move, how will the pine branches catch fire?"

Beilai Daxian understood and agreed, "Then I'm afraid the flames need to get closer to you."

Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "That's right."

A fox bravely asked, "How can I get the fire to come near me?"

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Your name is Gan Rou, right? Can you come over to my place for a moment?"

Gan Rou didn't know what was going on, so she walked up to Gong Mengbi nervously and said, "Master..."

"You're already close." Gong Mengbi's eyes were filled with comfort and expectation, and he said, "You're so close to me."

"But this is because the Master asked me to come here. Flame has no ears and no legs, so how can it come here?"

Gong Mengbi pointed at the Immortal Beilai and said, "Mr. Beilai has ears and legs, so why is Gan Rou the one coming here instead of the Immortal Beilai?"

"Because the Master called my name."

Gong Mengbi said: "Yes, you didn't come to me because you have ears and legs, but because I called your name."

Gan Rou's head began to spin. "But fire doesn't have a name?"

Gong Mengbi said: "You have already mentioned the name of 'Flame'."

"but……"

"Let's try it first. Let's give it a try first."

Gan Rou had no choice but to raise a pine branch and shout at the campfire, "Flame!"

The bonfire leaped, but there was no response.

Gan Rou had no choice but to look at Gong Mengbi for help.

Gong Mengbi raised the pine branch in his hand. The flame on the branch had gone out, half burned away, and now there was still a spark flickering in the air. "Why didn't yours light up?"

Gan Rou racked her brains and said, "It has no ears and can't hear me calling it. But when the Master called me, I did hear him."

"Yes, but how do we make it hear?"

Gan Rou didn't know.

Gong Mengbi looked at the Great Immortal Beilai and asked, "How did Mr. Beilai teach you to exorcise fire?"

Gan Rou said, "Mr. Beilai asked us to sense the fire energy and use our magic power to arouse it."

Gong Mengbi looked at Gan Rou, his eyes fixed on her, making her feel the gaze, and then called her name: "Yes, Gan Rou, please go back."

Gan Rou turned around uncontrollably and returned to her seat. When she stood still, she suddenly came to her senses: "Master, what just happened was..."

Gong Mengbi laughed inexplicably and said, "That was just the Gan Qu Jutsu."

Gan Rou's head suddenly buzzed. She was a little at a loss, feeling shy and surprised, but what came to her was more of an inspiration.

She looked at the bonfire, staring into it, summoning her spirit, conveying her command, and her magic power naturally began to flow. When she opened her lips to call out, but no sound came out, her lips opened and closed, saying, "Fire!"

The bonfire was dancing, and it seemed as if a scorching breath was flying out from the bonfire and condensing on the pine branch in Gan Rou's hand.

There seemed to be a very slight sound like the sound of flowers blooming. Green smoke came out of the pine branch in Gan Rou's hand, and a spark came out, swaying gently in the night wind.

“I did it!”

Gan Rou's cheerful voice rang out. She held up the pine branch in her hand and jumped excitedly. The flames on the pine branch swayed up and down, but they were firmly emitting light and heat.

"Wow!"

Those foxes who hadn't succeeded all gathered around to watch, asking in unison, "How did you do that, Gan Rou?"

"Why?"

"what happened?"

She suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at a fox in front of her, and said, "Ning Dai, come here!"

Ning Dai said "Hey" and walked to Gan Rou.

Gan Rou laughed heartily and said, "You've been struck by my Qu Ning Dai technique!"

Gan Rou shook the pine branch in her hand and said proudly, "Think about it carefully. The Master has already told us the secret!"
