Chapter 16 Heshan Taoism



Ever since he met that dissolute young man and returned to the county government office, Su Rui has lost his appetite.

Sometimes I regretted not chasing after him and asking him if he wanted to be my disciple. Then I started to worry about him being a bad person and getting ripped off. My emotions kept fluctuating, and I had no interest in practicing martial arts.

That night, after hastily finishing his practice of "The Golden Light Pupil of the Maori", he came to the kitchen in the backyard.

At this time, the little fox demon had already prepared the ingredients.

I don’t know where it got the ingredients from. It has been eating chicken since the first day I met it. According to the way it eats, all the chickens nearby would have been eaten by it long ago, but tonight’s ingredients are still chicken!

This fox loves eating chicken and never gets tired of it!

Suri plans to make one of her specialties tonight - chicken stewed with mushrooms.

The little fox demon had prepared the ingredients yesterday, and he only needed to kill the chicken and cook!

Before crossing over, Su Rui would occasionally cook for himself, and when he ate out, his favorite dish was this Shandong dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms. Although he had never made this dish himself before crossing over, he had eaten pork even though he had seen pigs run, so he could still make it!

Besides, chicken is delicious when stewed, and mushroom soup is naturally sweet. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people risking their lives to eat wild mushrooms, because they are so tempting to the taste buds.

Su Rui didn't recognize the mushroom that the little fox demon brought. Its color was not bright, and the little fox demon repeatedly assured him that it was not poisonous. Only then did Su Rui dare to put it into the soup!

A quarter of an hour later, when Su Rui opened the lid of the pot, he almost drooled because the aroma was so tempting!

Su Rui, a gourmet, was in such a state, and the little fox demon was even more unbearable. He no longer cared about the heat and stretched out his claws to pick up a chicken leg and started to chew it.

Suri almost vomited after eating chicken these days, so he didn't touch the chicken. Instead, he scooped a bowl of soup and mushrooms and ate it slowly.

The fox demon, feeling somewhat satisfied after gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly said to Su Rui.

"What do you want to ask?"

"You can tell me now! Seeing you seem hesitant to speak all night, you must want to ask something!"

Su Rui laughed awkwardly and said, "You figured it out!"

"Today I met someone who seems to be able to shrink the earth into an inch. I want to know, are there really sword immortals in this world?"

The little fox demon nodded, as if reminiscing, "When I was young, I once saw a Taoist priest flying on a sword. His speed was faster than lightning and he disappeared in a flash. So, the sword immortal you mentioned definitely exists!"

"I also heard my grandfather say that he saw a battle between sword immortals. The scene was like... He used a poem called "Sword Immortal" to describe it: Sword energy spans thirty thousand miles, and a single sword light chills nineteen states!"

"I loved the last line of the poem so much that I remember it very clearly!"

Su Rui, upon hearing this, was filled with yearning. He had dreamed of immortality before crossing over, but his previous world was materialistic, with legends of demons and monsters relegated to fiction. But here, they existed in reality! This was the most appealing aspect of his journey through time!

"Is this how you demons practice?"

Su Rui was unable to calm down for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered that the fox demon in front of him was also a cultivator, so he couldn't help but ask.

"We, the demon clan with roots, practice inherited skills. These inherited skills are innate and will automatically awaken when we reach a certain age or level of cultivation. However, most little demons need to learn from a master, first cultivating the human form and then practicing the skills!" said the little fox demon.

"I am a little demon with roots. The skills I inherited from my bloodline can reach the highest level, allowing me to cultivate into a nine-tailed celestial fox and become a demon fairy! But this kind of demon skills are not suitable for human practice!" The little fox demon knew what Su Rui was thinking and added one more sentence.

"It really doesn't work..." Su Rui let out a sigh. The glimmer of hope in his heart eventually turned into disappointment.

"but……"

The little fox demon struggled for a moment, glanced at the lost Su Rui, gritted his teeth and said:

"I do have a heretical technique for refining corpses, but it's not very powerful, and practicing it is quite cruel and bloody, and has never been tolerated by the righteous. If you want to practice it, I can teach it to you, but you must first swear an oath!"

Su Rui couldn't help but perk up a little after hearing this, and asked, "Can you tell me about the origin and content of that unorthodox technique?"

The little fox demon nodded and said slowly, "I got this Taoist technique from a Heshan Taoist disciple. Rumor has it that the Heshan Taoist masters over 300 kinds of unconventional Taoist techniques, and this corpse refining technique ranks around 150th among all the Heshan Taoist techniques. So, this Taoist technique isn't very popular and has limited potential! However, as far as I know, there are also very powerful corpse refining techniques, such as the corpse refining technique of the Miao family in western Hunan, which can produce a golden armored corpse! And it's rumored that a major demon sect has even produced a flying zombie called the Drought Demon. Once the Drought Demon appears, it will scorch the land for thousands of miles, which is very terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, Su Rui thought to himself, "This Heshan Dao corpse refining technique doesn't sound very advanced, but I have no other choice now. Let's see how the situation develops. If the conditions aren't too harsh, then it's okay to practice it. I'll upgrade to a better technique when I find one! If the conditions are too harsh, then I'll put it aside for now. I'm only nine years old anyway, so I can wait! I can't spend the rest of my life surrounded by corpses!"

After making up his mind, he nodded to show his understanding and asked, "What is this Dao oath you're talking about?"

"The Taoist oath is an oath made by those who practice Taoism. It is witnessed by the way of heaven. Once it is violated, there will be punishment from heaven!" The little fox demon knew that he was Xiaobai, so he introduced him to him.

"What is the content of the oath..." Su Rui asked again.
