Chapter 64 Li Chu's Equality of All
The warm sun hangs high in the sky, the breeze is gentle, and the river water is sparkling like a jade belt.
This is the fastest waterway to Wangyu Village. The clear and crisp autumn weather is quite suitable for a boat tour.
On both banks, wild flowers were in full bloom, with birds flying and chasing each other among the flowers, and butterflies flying in pairs and dragonflies mating.
Although autumn is gradually deepening, the tail end of summer can still be vaguely seen in the mountains and rivers of the south.
A small boat was floating downstream, its light white sail fluttering in the wind, with a "King" character hanging on it.
The small boats and rafts along the river would give way to them when they saw them, and some would even call out and say hello. The Wang family was not some wealthy dog-eat-dog family that was unkind and had always enjoyed a good reputation in Yuhang County.
The fox girl Xiaobai held onto the side of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides with great interest. The river breeze blew up a few strands of hair, revealing her delicate ears and charming profile.
It's so beautiful.
Wang Longqi looked at it and sighed deeply.
"Honestly, Li Chu." He patted the little Taoist priest beside him, "I have never envied anyone since I was a child, but I really envy you."
Li Chu thought for a moment, "Are you scolding me?"
Wang Longqi put his hand on his forehead, feeling a headache.
However, he was already accustomed to Li Chu's unusual way of thinking, and was too lazy to explain. He turned around and started teasing the little fox.
He approached with what he thought was a very handsome move, and brushed his hair with his hand, "Little White Girl, when I saw this river, I suddenly remembered a poem."
The fox girl blinked her misty eyes and said, "What poem?"
Wang Longqi looked far away at the end of the water, "The orioles are singing, on the island in the river, there is a beautiful lady..."
The fox girl ignored him and came to Li Chu, smiling and saying, "Master, this is my first time on a boat."
She had been practicing in the mountains before, so naturally there was no chance for her to take a boat ride, so she was very excited.
Li Chu smiled, then looked at Wang Longqi who was still talking to himself over there, and asked, "He..."
"It's just a little sleight of hand."
The fox girl spoke modestly, but her tail unconsciously lifted up.
"You know illusion?"
Li Chu suddenly realized that it was the little koi's excessive weakness that gave him a stereotype and made him regard the fox girl as a mascot.
But the fox girl has been training step by step in the wild. If she didn’t have the ability to fight, it would be impossible for her to survive until now.
After all, it is a monster that has transformed into a human form after undergoing a tribulation. In ordinary mountains and forests, it can be considered a big monster.
"Hehe." The fox girl was a little shy and said softly, "Our fox tribe is famous for its talent in illusion."
Li Chu looked at the fox girl with some expectation: "Let me feel how powerful your illusion is."
If there could be one more powerful helper, this demon slave would make a lot of money.
In the future, the Taoist temple will have more business, and if there are things that cannot be handled, she can take charge of it on her own.
For a moment, Li Chu even thought about opening a branch temple in the future.
"good!"
The fox girl realized that this was Li Chu's first examination of her, so she immediately held her breath and took it seriously.
She looked straight into Li Chu's eyes, her demonic power condensed, and the mist in her eyes began to swirl, becoming more and more beautiful, as if hiding a brilliant galaxy.
After a moment of silence.
It seemed as if a crow was flying overhead, making a noisy sound.
Li Chu wondered, "Why are you looking at me? Start."
"Ah?" The fox girl blinked her long eyelashes.
Don’t you have any feeling at all?
She knew that Li Chu was very strong, otherwise she would not have come to acknowledge him as her master. But... even if her illusion technique, which she had used almost all her strength, could not confuse him, it could not even make him feel anything?
The fox girl clenched her hands into fists and silently encouraged herself.
No, if you perform so badly the first time, you will definitely fall out of favor in the future!
She mobilized the demonic power around her body, mustered up 120% of her energy, and almost stared into Li Chu's eyes.
Li Chu finally felt a layer of hazy mist rising from his eyes, as if trying to cover his eyes. He thought about it, and the mist dissipated lightly.
That’s it?
He was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still encouraged: "Not bad, keep up the hard work."
What he didn't know was that the fox clan was indeed gifted in illusion, and the fox girl's illusion was even stronger than the water ghost in the river that day.
But he is no longer the same person who intercepted the river and slayed the ghost. After killing the flying lion, his level has reached level 74.
As he upgraded, the improvement in his spiritual power was obvious, but the improvement in his soul was not so obvious, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But in fact, his soul has become much stronger.
It’s still the metaphor of mountains and water.
For Li Chu, who was at level 71 at the time, the fox girl's water might be able to moisten the foot of his mountain.
For Li Chu now, the fox girl's water is too little, not enough to make him feel anything.
Although Li Chu spoke politely, the fox girl was sensitive enough to sense that the man in front of her was disappointed in her.
She felt she had to say something to win him back.
So she took the initiative to ask: "Master, when are we going to sign the spiritual contract?"
"Spiritual contract?"
"It's the ceremony that all demons must go through to recognize their master. Simple ones include the spiritual oath, and complex ones include the spiritual contract. Some even have to carve a curse on the demon pill..."
The fox girl's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She was also very afraid of these rituals.
In order to prevent the demon slaves from attacking, the methods that the cultivators came up with were absolutely harsh. Even the simplest spiritual oath was enough to make the demons dare not resist the orders of their masters.
Li Chu shook his head: "I don't need these."
In fact, there was something else he was embarrassed to say.
I also won’t…
No one taught him these things. When the little koi first recognized its master, neither of them knew what to do and simply called him master.
Yu Qian'an, the only one who knew the matter, refused to say a word for some reason.
"But……"
The fox girl was a little hesitant. She didn't know why, but she seemed to be vaguely expecting Li Chu to impose some restrictions on her.
Previously, she thought Li Chu had forgotten about it and was happy not to have to go through all this. But Li Chu never mentioned it, which made her a little panicked.
After thinking for a while, she said faintly: "Are you not going to accept me? Did I not satisfy you just now?"
"Hmm?" Li Chu frowned: "Why do you say that? Since I promised to take you in, I will not regret it."
"But how can this be possible..." The fox girl lowered her head, her tail swaying nervously, "There is no restraint at all. Aren't you worried that I will turn against you in the future?"
Li Chu smiled and asked, "Can you?"
"Probably not." The fox girl said weakly.
Li Chu asked again: "Who told you about these rules of recognizing the master?"
Logically speaking, the fox girl grew up in the mountains and shouldn't be so clear about human affairs.
"She is a fox demon sister I know." The fox girl said, "She originally recognized a cultivator as her master. After a hundred years, the cultivator died, and her spiritual contract was naturally dissolved, so she returned to the mountains. We became good friends, and she told me a lot of things about the human world."
"After a few years in the mountains, she couldn't stand it anymore. She said it was too lonely here and the bustling human world was more interesting, so she left again."
"She said that to acknowledge a master, you have to sign a spiritual contract, and then the master will teach you magical powers, give you magical tools, give you spiritual medicine, and help you practice. You have to obey all the master's orders, such as fighting and sleeping with him..."
There were some things she was too embarrassed to say.
That sister also said that to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his kidneys…
Li Chu raised his hand to stop her.
"I don't know what other people's rules are, but this is the rule of my Deyun Temple."
His tone was gentle yet firm.
"I will treat each of you monsters equally and as my friends. If I need your help, it is not an order, but mutual help. You can also ask me for anything you want. If you feel that my request goes against your wishes or principles, you can refuse it. I will not force you. However, if you do something that goes against my principles, I will not be partial to you."
"The most important principle here is not to harm others, just like I won't allow others to harm you."
"All things have spirits, and all beings are equal."
These words seemed to overturn the fox girl's cognition. After a long while, she was still in a daze.
She thought about Li Chu's words over and over again, and her eyes slowly brightened.
Li Chu said again: "Let's solve Wang Longqi's illusion first."
"Yeah." The fox girl nodded obediently.
She waved at Wang Longqi, and Wang Longqi's eyes dimmed. He suddenly found that the fox girl in front of him had run to Li Chu at some point.
His mouth was dry but he was full of energy. "Miss Xiaobai, I have another song of Jian Jia..."
The fox girl blushed and ran into the cabin.
“Hehe.” Wang Longqi smiled: “She must have been fascinated by my talent after listening to me recite more than 200 poems.”
Li Chu smiled and nodded.
The happiest people in the world are always fools.
Thanks to "知黑守白66" for the 100-yuan reward, thanks to "晓凛mk" for the 500-yuan reward, and thanks to "轻松的青松" for the 2,000-yuan reward.
