Chapter 674: The Heart-Draining Fox Demon

A child died in the village and the funeral was held according to the rules.

Mianmian's parents stayed with Mianmian and did not dare to leave her even for a moment.

"My dear, I heard from Liu Zhuzi that Ermao's mother went crazy. She beat and scolded the children whenever she saw them, blaming the children for not saving her Ermao. Our Mianmian should try to go out less."

"That's right, that's right, husband. I feel like our Mianmian...may really..."

The couple looked at the little kid quietly eating the biscuit and sighed at the same time.

My daughter knows it herself. She is a chatterbox and always has a sweet smile on her face. At the age of less than 4, she is also a little adult at home. She will help move stools and sweep the floor. She is lively and cute.

But ever since that day when my daughter went out to play with the other kids and was betrayed by Ermao, she stopped talking and was in a daze from time to time, looking like she had lost her soul.

The couple were not fools. If they thought about it carefully, they would know what happened! When Ermao was killed that day, the daughter might have seen it from the side. The daughter was very good at climbing trees. She might have been hiding in the tree waiting for Ermao to find her, but she witnessed the fox demon committing the crime from the tree.

The fox demon didn't find their daughter and kill her together. It was already a blessing for their daughter. The couple was very grateful and naturally didn't ask their daughter any more questions.

With both parents by her side, Mianmian finally recovered from the shock of that day.

On the day of Ermao's funeral, several Taoist priests from Bixia Temple came, both old and young.

The village chief asked everyone to be present, including the children.

Mianmian held her father's hand on the left and her mother's hand on the right, and followed them out of the house.

As soon as she was held in her father's arms and saw the Taoist priests standing next to the village chief, she grabbed her father Su Senqi's collar tightly, shrank in Su Senqi's arms and dared not speak.

Su Senqi frowned and glanced at his wife.

These days they have been staying at home with their daughter, and in order to make her happy, they have taken her around the village. But now, the Taoist priests from Bixia Temple have come to the village, and their daughter's mood has become strange again!

Su Senqi didn't dare to think about what this meant.

He could only cover his daughter's face with his big hands, trying his best to prevent his daughter from seeing the Taoist priests and avoiding attracting their attention.

"Everyone in Xinghua Village, the injured fox demon caused chaos a few days ago and hurt the children in our village. The Taoist priests are here to apologize to us. They also caught the fox demon. Look, it's this fox demon."

As they were talking, two young Taoist priests brought up a large iron cage.

There was a piece of black cloth on top of the iron cage. When the cloth was lifted, a huge fox was revealed inside.

Foxes are considered big if they are the same size as the dogs in the village. But this red fox is particularly large, and its fur is abnormally red. Its animal eyes swept across the villagers in fear, and then stared at the Taoists with resentment.

"What a huge fox! This must be the fox demon that ripped out the heart, right?"

"Mother Ermao, the Taoist priest has avenged Ermao for you."

"Yes, yes, people from the Ermao family, please thank the Taoist priest."

Once the fox demon was eliminated, the village returned to normal. The villagers thanked the Taoist priests of Bixia Temple and kept bowing to them.

When Mianmian heard someone talking about the big fox, she quietly raised her head from her father's arms and immediately met the fox's gaze.

She had been very sharp-eyed and had seen at first sight that the fox's skin was torn apart. The dark red was not just the color of the fox itself, but also the color of coagulated blood, just like the blood that flowed out when Ermao's heart was ripped out.

The little kid became more and more frightened and continued to bury his head in his father's arms, trying to find comfort from him.

At the villagers' compliments, the Taoist priests covered the cage again.

The one standing in the middle waved the whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Bixia Temple serves the country and the people. It is our duty to eliminate harm for the people. You don't have to be polite. But the world is like this now. After catching one monster, there is still a second one. I, Wuchenzi, am also worried. I am worried that if a second monster appears, the village will be hit hard again."

After these words were said, the villagers who were originally happy to see the fox demon being caught, suddenly became unhappy again.

Yes, if there is one monster, there will be two. If there is another one in the future, who knows which family in the village will be unlucky. This time, Ermao's family lost Ermao, but what about next time? Who knows, it might be your own child who dies.

"Master, please save us."

"Yes, Taoist priest, please think of a way to protect our village. We will offer you incense money every year."

"The Taoist priests are kind-hearted people, they will definitely not leave us alone, right?"

Wu Chenzi of Bixia Temple listened to the villagers asking for help, stroked his beard and gave a suggestion: "Our Taoist temple has always been recruiting disciples. Only children who are predestined with Taoism can have the honor of becoming a member of the Taoist temple. I see that your Xinghua Village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Maybe there will be children who are predestined with our Taoism. If you are willing, let us accept the children as disciples. In the future, it is only natural for Bixia Temple to protect Xinghua Village."

Upon hearing this, the villagers became excited again.

Taoist Wuchenzi wanted to accept disciples, so would their children have the opportunity to become Taoist priests? How wonderful it would be to become a Taoist priest. The incense of Bixia Temple is so strong, and the Taoist priests are all handsome. At least they will not treat their children badly in terms of food, right? Someone asked this question: "Taoist priest, if I am lucky enough to become your disciple, I should not be short of food in the future, right?"

The Taoists looked at each other, Wu Chenzi smiled compassionately: "Of course there will be no shortage, but..."

"Master, what other conditions do you have?"

Wu Chenzi said: "Once you become a disciple of my Bixia Temple, you will cut off your mortal world and have no connection with your biological parents from now on."

This is what it means to sever ties with your parents.

Some people who dote on children couldn't help but hug their children tightly.

If the child grows up and no longer has eyes for his biological parents, then sending him to become a Taoist priest is useless! They still need to rely on the child for their old age!

The family with the most children in the village couldn't wait: "Okay, okay, Taoist priest, do you want a boy or a girl? Since we have severed the parental bond, isn't it the same as selling the child to you? You have to pay for it, right?"

Wu Chenzi flicked his whisk and said, "Wulian Tianzun, if the children enter the Dao sect, Bixia Temple will give you a severance fee. How can this be considered selling children?"

The severance fee! Some people who were short of money also followed up with the question: "Excuse me, Taoist priest, how much is the severance fee?"

Wu Chenzi smiled: "One tael of silver."

One tael of silver is not much for farmers to earn, so if they live frugally, one tael of silver can last them for a year.
