Chen Xiu came out of the back door of the Taoist temple and came to a small forest on the back mountain.

It was almost dusk, and a few rays of green fire in the woods were wandering.

When Chen Xiuyi approached, the green fires were like mice meeting cats, floating away quickly.

There are chaotic graves on the wild fox slope, and there are inevitably some strange things.

From a human perspective, it is terrible to hit a ghost.

But from the perspective of a ghost, it is not scary to hit someone.

As long as you are not afraid, you are afraid of ghosts.

After understanding this, the ghost will not be scary at all.

Chen Xiu caught up with the speed of a hundred meters of sprint and grabbed a green fire that fell at the end.

The green fire struggled in his palm a few times, and then dissipated.

As the green fire dissipated, some white light energy that others could not see entered Chen Xiu's body.

Chen Xiu looked at the depths of his consciousness. A bamboo slip that had not been engraved lit up a little more, and the remaining half was dark.

When this bamboo slip is completely bright, you can gain new poetry skills.

Picking poems and bamboo slips is not a casual draw, it requires a price to pay.

The price is emotion.

Poetry, in short, is an expression of emotion.

The logic is also very reasonable when exchanging poetry with emotions.

The emotional energy released by living beings when they die will increase the brightness of the bamboo slips.

When emotional energy accumulates to a certain level and the bamboo slips are completely bright, new verses can be drawn.

After Chen Xiu discovered the logic of changing emotions to bamboo slips, he also had a problem of killing and asked his master for advice.

Master said that after the death of sentient beings, they should have been reincarnated, but when something went wrong with the reincarnation process, they became ghosts.

In essence, ghosts are an intermediate state of life reincarnation and cannot be regarded as life.

Most ghosts stay in the world because of their deep resentment. To kill ghosts, they are sent to reincarnate quickly, and it is not considered killing.

After Chen Xiu understood his thoughts, all the ghosts near Yehu Po were affected. The ghost fire, the small earth ghost, and the red-light ghost were all made into experience, and some monsters that were not ghosts but harmed people were also eliminated.

Now, demons and monsters near Yehu Po are hiding when they see Chen Xiu, and it is much more difficult to get experience than before.

Chen Xiu made some experience and limped in the clearings in the forest. Every step was very careful, like an awkward dance.

This is the Yubu, a step method commonly used by Taoist priests in praying for divine rituals.

As a Taoist priest, Chen Xiu has to hurry up to vocational training.

Otherwise, if you always have physical salvation and have no appearance, customers will not be able to accept it.

Chen Xiuzheng was practicing and saw Li Nanxuan slowly stepping into the forest. He was about fifty years old, walking slowly and gracefully, as if every step he took, an invisible lotus grew under his feet.

Anyone who sees it, I have to praise you, what a fairy-like character, a god-like figure!

"Disciple, how are you doing today?" Li Nanxuan's soft voice blew like the spring breeze blowing on his face.

Chen Xiu reported on the process of the weeding demon.

"Yes, I was already killing dragons in the East China Sea at your age. I have to work harder." Li Nanxuan said casually.

Chen Xiu was very ashamed when he heard this.

At the same age, the master has slaughtered the dragon, and he is still using the grass demons. People are really incomparable to humans.

"Master, this is the reward for the weeding demon." Chen Xiu took out his wallet again.

"You keep it, I have never touched money, I have no interest in money." Li Nanxuan said lightly.

That full of master style almost suffocated Chen Xiu, who is worthy of being a master.

"Disciple, this is just the first step in your journey thousands of miles. You will encounter countless hardships and setbacks in the future. The only thing that can support you in the complete journey is dreams." Li Nanxuan looked up at the starry sky at 45 degrees, with a faint sadness on his face, as if he remembered the vicissitudes of the past.

"Master, I don't have much dream, I just have an interest in cultivating immortals." Chen Xiu said honestly.

"Great dreams start with a small goal. The road to immortal cultivation is not a bright path. There is depravity, viciousness, and cruelty," Li Nanxuan stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the starry sky: "But there is always a kind of power that drives you to constantly search for the other side. This power comes from your original intention. I hope that five hundred years later, when you become an immortal, you can still remember the moment when you look at the stars with your master."

"Master, I can do it." Chen Xiu was moved.

When will I reach such a high level of thought in Master?

Chen Xiu was still savoring the master's words, and heard Li Nanxuan laugh and said, "The neighbors are starting again..."

Chen Xiu followed the master's sight and looked at the opposite hillside.

On the hillside, six foxes lined up in a circle, standing upright like humans, with their slender bodies shaking towards the moon, with a unique rhythm and charm.

The foxes are dancing, and it's not the first time.

On full moon night, neighbors dance under the moon.

Is this the Lord of Shadowflow?

Chen Xiu's heart moved, and he really looked very similar.

At this moment, a dark cloud floated over the moon, and the foxes stopped dancing.

"Hate cloud."

Li Nanxuan frowned slightly and flicked at the sky casually.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if he made a contribution, the dark clouds floated away, and the bright moonlight fell on the foxes’ faces again.

Chen Xiu was stunned.

The fox on the opposite hillside was also stunned.

After a while.

An old fox called out twice, then a white-haired fox slid down the hillside and quickly rushed to Chen Xiu and Li Nanxuan.

It straightened up like a human, bowed to Li Nanxuan with two claws, and then pointed one claw to the opposite hillside.

"The little fox invites me to visit his house." Li Nanxuan laughed.

The little white fox nodded quickly.

Chen Xiu was a little surprised that he could really understand human words.

"Disciple, please visit my neighbor's house on my behalf." Li Nanxuan smiled.

"Okay, Master." Chen Xiu nodded and said to the little white fox: "Can I go to your house?"

The little white fox's two black and clear eyes bent into crescent moons, showing anthropomorphic smiles, which are adorable.

The little white fox's body was like a jumping white ball, and he took Chen Xiu to the opposite hillside.

On the hillside, the other five foxes also stood up like humans and bowed to Chen Xiu, and Chen Xiu bowed back.

The fiery red old fox in the lead screamed, as if he was very happy that Chen Xiu returned the gift.

The old fox took Chen Xiu to the bottom of the hillside, passed through dense shrubs, and opened a ball of vines, which was a cave inside.

The entrance of the cave was very small, just enough for Chen Xiu to get in.

It's fake to say that it's not afraid of it at all.

But Chen Xiu was very brave because his master was next door.

In case of danger, a master will provide him with a guarantee.

With Master’s cultivation of heaven and earth, it’s not a piece of cake to control these fox demons.

A stone chamber was dug out from the cave, with stone beds, stone tables, stone benches, and no difference from human residences.

Although it was cleaned up, it still had a faint smell of foxes.

What surprised Chen Xiu was that there was a bookshelves in a corner of the stone chamber, and several books were placed on it.

The old fox lit an incense stick and placed it on the stone table, and the smoke scattered indoors.

Then, Chen Xiu saw an old man in red floating in the smoke out of thin air.

"Tao Master, my husband Qingqiu Song, this human form is my soul. I can't speak human words, I can only communicate with your soul. This sandalwood can protect my soul." The old man in red said with a smile.

"This method is convenient. My name is Chen Xiu, and my master's name is Cangsong." Chen Xiu Dao.

Li Nanxuan lived in seclusion in the world and naturally did not use his real name.

The pines, the vigorous and tall pine, are very powerful at first glance.

"The Master Qingyun Temple is a truly master of enlightenment, and Master Chen Xiao is also a master of disciple under the famous teacher. Being able to be neighbors with wise masters is a blessing for me to cultivate for several lifetimes." Qingqiu Song flattered.

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for.

It seems that it is not easy for this old fox to invite himself to visit his house.

"Senior Qingqiu is too famous. I heard from my seniors that I have poetry and books in their hearts. It is not an ordinary demon clan. It is also a honor for Xiaodao to be able to meet with his seniors." Chen Xiu looked modest and glanced at the bookshelf next to him.
