Chapter 727: Fox Dojo
After leaving Fox Hill, not long after, an old woman came slowly towards us, leaning on a cane and holding a black umbrella.
She seemed to be completely undeceived by the form-shifting technique, and she saw right through the fox group. She walked straight towards them, causing the fox group to become a little agitated.
Senior Sister Fox didn't make any move until the old woman entered the group. Then she greeted her and said, "It's Ma Shenpo."
Ma Shenpo said, "I have been summoned by the Fox Talisman and am heading to Longpan Mountain."
Senior Sister Fox said, "Then come with us."
Ma Shenpo didn't say much, she just walked silently in front of the team, and the shock of the intrusion was quickly soothed.
One of the foxes didn't recognize him and asked, "Isn't this a human?"
"You're not a local fox in Wu Ning, are you?"
"no."
"No wonder you didn't recognize her. She's Ma Shenpo, a famous witch in the county. The people of Wuning worship the Goddess of Mount Tai, and she's definitely played a role in that."
"No wonder she came too."
Ma Shenpo actually heard it, but did not respond.
Walking all the way to Longpan Mountain, gradually more foxes from the villages joined them.
“A lot of new faces.”
"Don't be afraid. We are students who have graduated from the Fox Academy. After graduation, we will serve as subordinate gods to the village gods."
"Oh, Ma Shenpo, it's been a long time since we last met."
Unconsciously, there were more and more foxes in front of the team. Those foxes that had already left their training knew each other and were chatting and laughing along the way. They looked quite accomplished, which made the other foxes in the team envious.
"Ma Shenpo, do you know why the Master summoned us?"
Ma Shenpo recalled: "The last time I received a fox talisman was when he just took office. I didn't go that time."
The fox who had experienced this personally shuddered and said, "No way?"
He looked around and asked, "Hey, has anyone disregarded the law and done anything illegal recently?"
"I don't think so. We are at least semi-public officials. It's definitely not us."
"Neither did I. Although I was only practicing in the village community, I didn't harm anyone. I paid for the two eggs I ate."
"Tell me quickly, what happened back then?"
The fox said, "At that time, the Master took charge of the Wuning County Fox Association and summoned the foxes with a fox talisman. He punished many wicked foxes. Some of them killed people and had their heads chopped off on the spot by the Master."
"No way? Master is so approachable?"
"It's true! You guys didn't do anything wrong, did you?"
For a moment, the foxes all looked inwards. One fox, with its legs trembling, said, "It's over. Last time, someone peed at the door of my fox cave, and I poured feces on his door in the middle of the night. I hope I won't be punished."
"Ugh! Who wants to hear this kind of thing?"
Several foxes were discussing in whispers, but only Ma the witch had a sullen face and didn't say anything.
A fox noticed and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," said the witch Ma, "I just hate rainy days. In the past, I would stay indoors and worship the gods on rainy days."
"I hate rainy days, too. I remember a few years ago when it rained so heavily that it seemed as if the sky had collapsed, and many people died. If the Master hadn't taken us in and taken us to the Fox Courtyard for shelter, I'm afraid I would have drowned too."
"Yes." Ma Shenpo clenched her cane and said, "I almost... died."
Looking at the gloomy sky, Witch Ma suddenly had a guess in her mind and muttered to herself, "Could it be related to the rain this time?"
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
A long line of foxes passed through the woods and farmlands, through the ridges on the ridges, and through the villages with smoke rising from chimneys.
Everything was blurry in the rain. Occasionally, someone saw something and thought it was dazzled or a miracle.
After all, in Wu Ning's area, few people don't know the story of the Fox Messenger.
If it was unavoidable, a fox would step forward and comfort them, saying, "Don't be alarmed. We are here to meet you at Longpan Mountain, ordered by the Fox Master of the Heavenly Fox Court under the command of the Taishan Queen Mother."
In this way, we passed through mountains and forests, went in and out of villages and fields, and entered Longpan Mountain.
A bright red carp's head popped out of the Yudai River, glanced at the surface, and cried out, "Wow, there are so many foxes! What is Brother Mingfu doing?"
She turned her head and called out into the water, "Fuluo, let's go play with Brother Mingfu!"
Fuluo broke through the water, poked his upper body out and lay on the surface, saying, "No, it's obviously a fox gathering. Let's go and disturb their business."
Yu Shiyi Niang said, "That's right, let's go after the meeting is over!"
Fu Luo reminded him, "The rest period ends tomorrow."
"I can't hear you!"
As soon as we stepped into Wuhuan Peak, the rain curtain was isolated from the sky.
The mountain path was dry, and a faint fragrance transformed into a thin mist curtain, enveloping Wuhuan Peak. The outer layer of the mist curtain was raindrops falling on it, turning into a finer mist.
Passing through the thick outer fog and entering the warm fragrant mist inside, it is as if heaven and earth have changed and you have stepped into another world.
Erqiu and Sanqiu exclaimed, "Is this the dojo?"
The fox next to him immediately squeezed over and asked eagerly, "Do you know?"
Erqiu and Sanqiu felt a little uncomfortable and said, "When we were mopping the floor for the Master the other day, he told us that he wanted Master Wu to come back and set up the Daoist temple."
"Why are you able to mop the floor for the Master? Damn it, I want to go too!"
"We don't know either. The steward asked us to go."
Walking in the fragrant mist, I felt light and healthy. Amidst the hustle and bustle, I was almost at Shouyue Tower.
The five ghost gods have towering figures and transform into ghosts and gods, standing in front of Shouyue Tower.
The foxes were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and sat quietly on the cushions in front of Shouyue Tower.
Kang Wen walked out of Shouyue Tower and said, "It's still early, there's no need to be restrained. You can explore this mountain temple on your own."
The foxes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wuhuan Peak is guarded by the Five Ghost Gods, and is infused with Gong Mengbi's Taoist magic and supernatural powers, showing all kinds of supernatural phenomena.
After the foxes dispersed, they explored everywhere. One of them discovered that there was magical power hidden in the soil and rocks. If they reached out and pressed on them, a stone lotus would grow on the stone.
Erqiu and Sanqiu stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the rising clouds and mist, and they saw that something seemed to be moving in it.
Daqiu blew over in one breath, blowing away the floating smoke, and then he saw what seemed to be a huge platform in the fog.
Daqiu said, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them mustered up their courage and jumped out of the cliff, landing on a platform in the clouds, their feet feeling soft yet firm.
But as soon as they stepped on it, the platform began to vibrate.
The three Qiu screamed in panic. The clouds and mist were rolling under their feet, and they could not see what was real or fake. They dared not move, and they could only feel a violent sense of being lifted up.
Uncontrollable exclamations were heard from the mountains. The three Qiu turned around and felt that they were getting farther and farther away from Wuhuan Peak.
A high-pitched long roar came from their side. They looked around and found that the clouds had turned into a flying dragon. They were landing on the dragon's body, tumbling in the sea of fog.
