Chapter 83 Guess Who I Met
Not long after, Hu Zijun returned on a cloud, carrying a dying three-tailed red fox in one hand and the corpse of a huge red snake in the other.
The three-tailed red fox exuded a foul odor and its fur was mottled, as if it had been burned. It looked somewhat pitiful at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist! It turned out that there was a boa demon behind that. It lured the foxes from the Red Plain Cave to work for it. Now that it has been exposed, it has swallowed three of the evil foxes and tried to escape! Unfortunately, the other two foxes have turned into pus in its stomach, and only this one has a higher level of cultivation and is still alive. Look, the corpse of the boa demon is already here."
As he said that, Hu Zijun threw the giant snake to the ground. With a thud, the snake's corpse fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
After landing, Hu Zijun discovered that Baili Shuang's junior sister was gone, and there was a young man beside her. There was even a faint demonic aura lingering around the young man. He was a little puzzled and asked, "This fellow Taoist... is he also a disciple of the Taiyin Sect?"
Jin Li greeted him and said, "Hello, fellow Taoist. I am a demon cultivator from Xizhu Hill. I just have a history with the Taiyin Sect disciples who were captured in Sanshi Cave, but I have not joined any sect."
When Hu Zijun heard this, his expression became much colder and he just nodded in return.
Baili Shuang saw that Hu Zijun was quite snobbish and looked down on wild demon cultivators, so she quickly took over the conversation and said, "Daoyou, you have a high level of cultivation! You killed the evil demon so quickly! I just don't know what will happen to this fox demon? To be honest, this fox demon kept humans captive for food, and the village it destroyed was blessed by our Taiyin Sect and has been worshipped by the Taiyin Goddess. As a disciple, I have to give an explanation to the sect."
Hu Zijun said: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. When we return to Chiyuan Cave, the elders will use the soul-searching technique to investigate this evil fox. If she is really guilty of a heinous crime, she will definitely not be spared!"
Baili Shuang frowned and said nothing when she heard this, but Jin Li suddenly asked, "What is considered a heinous crime?"
Hu Zijun released the pressure of the demon cultivator unhappily and said coldly: "Daoyou usually practice in Xizhu Hill, why do you want to care about what happens in my Chiyuan Cave?"
Jinli's Taoism was far inferior to Hu Zijun's, and he could not hold on any longer and turned into his original form.
Seeing this, Hu Zijun sneered and said, "I was wondering what it was, it turns out to be a yellow-skinned rat!"
Baili Shuang quickly came to the rescue and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu, please don't vent your anger on those evil monsters. I see that Fellow Daoist Jin's path of cultivation is quite correct and is very compatible with Taiyin. I have already invited him to join my Taiyin Sect."
Hearing this, Hu Zijun withdrew his pressure: "Taiyin Sect?"
Baili Shuang nodded and said, "That's right. I haven't had time to explain to you yet. Although we are still a sect under the name of Guangcheng Sect, we have already agreed with Guangcheng Sect that we will change from a sect to a sect in the near future. When the sect's founding ceremony comes, we will invite you to come."
Hu Zijun thought about it and suddenly said, "That's right. You worship the Supreme God of the Moon, and Guangcheng Sect worships the Star God of Jiaomu. It's really hard to put them together."
Baili Shuang raised the banner and said, "That being said, we in the Taiyin sect actually also worship Jiaomu Xingjun. After all, Lady Taiyin and Jiaomu Xingjun are both considered star gods."
Hu Zijun laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's true. I'll wait for your post then!"
"Of course!"
…
After a few polite words, Hu Zijun took the three-tailed fox and flew away on a cloud. Jin Li asked in dissatisfaction, "Daoyou, that fox demon ate Taiyin... a disciple of Taiyin Sect! Can we just let it go?"
"It can't survive. Even if the elders of the Chiyuan Cave Clan are willing to keep it, Xinyue Xingjun will not keep it."
Baili Shuang was quite surprised by Jinli's attitude, thinking that this golden-haired bamboo raccoon demon seemed to be very close to humans, and wondered what the reason was. Jinli was a little unconvinced: "Xinyue Xingjun... would actually pay attention to this matter?"
Baili Shuang asked, "Why do you think Chiyuan Cave is called 'Chiyuan Sect' outside, and even has a reputation that surpasses Qingqiu Country, which is known as the country of all monsters?"
"This...I really don't know."
"It is precisely because the Heart Moon Star Lord is not only the ancestor of all the foxes in Chiyuan Cave, but also lives in seclusion in the cave all year round to control all the foxes. Although she is a fox demon who has achieved the Tao of the Stars, she has learned from the human race in every aspect. All the foxes in Chiyuan Cave must learn to read and write, distinguish right from wrong, and cultivate the Tao and morality. Under such circumstances, no matter how protective Chiyuan Cave is, it will not let the fox demon go."
"I see, that fox demon is indeed hateful! I heard that she was so bold as to keep human villages captive and feed on them?"
"Exactly."
Jin Li was extremely surprised: "She is not afraid of God's punishment!"
The "divine punishment" that Jinli mentioned was not a curse, but a real "divine punishment", which manifested itself in the form of heavenly tribulation, thunder tribulation, cessation of cultivation, inability to attain enlightenment, etc.
These "divine punishments" not only affect man-eating monsters, but also monsters that eat monsters. However, there is no conclusion as to whether or how it will appear.
For example, wild beasts in the mountains, before they awaken their minds and spirits, will not be punished by heaven if they eat woodcutters or hunters who stray into the mountains. Some accomplished demon cultivators will not be punished by heaven if they kill and devour other demon cultivators who are competing for their territory, or cultivators who come to covet their demon bodies.
However, many little demons, in order to quickly improve their cultivation, deceived their own kind or humans into being eaten, but they suffered "god's punishment" when they were trying to overcome the tribulation, and most of them lost their souls.
Although it is entirely up to luck whether or not "divine punishment" will befall you, those who, like Yun Guanxia, keep human villages in captivity and engage in long-term cannibalism will inevitably be punished by "divine punishment."
Baili Shuang also guessed: "I'm afraid he has some magic weapon with him."
Jin Li was silent for a moment, then said, "To cultivate one's character, one must first cultivate one's character. To be greedy for fame and gain, to harm others and enrich oneself, is not the right path."
Baili Shuang couldn't help but look at Jinli a few more times. This kind of cognition didn't seem like something a wild demon cultivator could comprehend on his own. He became more and more determined to recruit him, so he repeated the same old tune and invited Jinli to join Taiyin Sect, fearing that the other party would go back on his word after a while.
Jinli kept his word and said that he would sort things out with the younger generations. The man and the demon agreed to talk in detail in a few days.
After Jinli and Baili Shuang parted ways, he was so excited that he rushed back to Xizhu Hill by digging the soil at the fastest speed in his life.
"Sugar cane! Sugar cane, sugar cane! Guess who I met!"
He pushed a handful of dirt out of his head and crawled out of the hole at Zhuxian's feet, chattering non-stop: "I met the disciples of the Taiyin Sect and the stinky fox from the Chiyuan Cave!"
Zhuxian shook the sugarcane leaves above his head, looked at Jinli who looked embarrassed, and waited for what to come.
As expected, Jinli continued mumbling, "The troublemakers in the Three Stone Caves turned out to be the fox demons from the Chiyuan Sect! Oh, there was also a snake demon, but the snake demon was killed by the fox demon named Hu Zijun who came to the Chiyuan Cave to clean up the mess. I think Hu Zijun wanted to protect his own fox, but was defeated by the brats from the Taiyin Sect. That's right! I was planning to go to the Taiyin Sect... well, it should be called the Taiyin Sect. I didn't want to go either, but the price they offered was too high, ten Taiyin essences a month at least! Do you think I can afford it!?"
"Hiss - do you think they will accept the bamboo spirit?"
