Chapter 407 Amorous vixen!
After a short while, the big monk came back galloping. He was relieved to see Xin Zhen was still there. It seemed that he was afraid that Xin Zhen had secretly run away.

The monk stuffed a yellowed booklet into Xin Zhen's arms and said, "Take a look first, take a look first."

Xin Zhen was not polite at all. He sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to read a book on Taoism.

Xin Zhen flipped through it and looked at the monk with some surprise.

The monk did not look embarrassed at all, and said, "Don't talk about Taoism or Buddhism. As long as it is useful to the common people, we Buddhists are compassionate and will use it. It is not for personal profit, so I have a clear conscience."

Good guy.

This booklet is actually a booklet of fasting and offering rituals. It cannot be said that this thing is useless. It is indeed useful. The "fasting and offering rituals" recorded in it are certain regulations that the offering and prayer activities are based on.

Taoist temples hold ceremonies to celebrate birthdays and other events on the first and full moon days, important festivals, and the birthdays of their ancestors. These common rituals are all considered as fasting and offering sacrifices.

Holding a fasting and offering ceremony usually involves building an altar, setting up supplies, chanting scriptures, repenting, stepping on the magic circles, making hand gestures and reciting mantras, etc.

These things can indeed be used to exorcise ghosts and foxes, which is similar to the ghost-exorcism method taught by Shi Taipu. However, they have nothing to do with spiritual practice, and have nothing to do with the method of longevity.

Xin Zhen couldn't be said to be disappointed, but he wasn't surprised either.

This was expected. A fox demon could force the great Zen Master Fahua into this state, so this booklet couldn't be that great.

But Xin Zhen did want it. Although this booklet was nothing compared to the great inheritance, it was a good introductory book for someone like him who was eager to advance into the world of Taoism.

At least I can understand a little bit about how to deal with these monsters and demons, so that I won’t be as passive as before.

Seeing Xin Zhen flipping through some of the books and then falling into deep thought, the great Zen Master Fahua said nervously, "Donor Xin, do you think it's all right?"

Xin Zhen looked up at the great Zen Master Fahua, nodded and said, "Okay, but I hope the fox's strength is really as you said, otherwise I will turn around and leave. I can leave, but you can run away, but you can't run away from the temple."

The great Zen Master Fahua said repeatedly: "No, no, if I lie to you, I would be playing with my own life."

Seeing that Xin Zhen agreed, the great Zen Master Fahua quickly asked people to arrange for Xin Zhen to stay in the temple. He did not take the booklet back, but gave it to Xin Zhen as a default.

After Xin Zhen had his vegetarian meal, he hurried back to his room to study the booklet.

This booklet should not be a common item. It should be the notes made by a Taoist priest himself. It not only records many rituals, but also contains many of his own insights. It is very suitable for a beginner like Xin Zhen.

However, the Taoist's level is average, and he just copies others' ideas. He only knows how to do things to achieve the desired effects, but he has no idea why these effects occurred. No wonder the great Zen Master Fahua could only perform some rituals with this booklet in his hand, and was helpless when he encountered more powerful monsters.

That night, the great Zen Master Fahua invited Xin Zhen to his residence and waited for the fox demon to arrive.

The great Zen Master Huafa invited Xin Zhen to his residence, apologized to him, and then fell asleep.

Xin Zhen couldn't help but smile knowingly as he listened to the great Zen Master Fahua's snoring. This guy probably hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Xin Zhen ignored him, took a cushion, sat cross-legged, and placed the sword horizontally across his legs.

This is the new iron sword he bought a few days ago. The previous one was stabbed into the tiger demon's belly and cannot be found.

While listening to the noise outside, Xin Zhen was practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong in his body.

Although Xin Zhen was almost killed by the tiger spirit, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong was not useless. In fact, he was able to kill most of the minions, fight with the tiger spirit for a long time, and then seriously injure the tiger spirit. This was all thanks to the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. The Pure Yang Wuji Gong was not only not useless, but also very useful.

The biggest advantage of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is that it has almost no bottleneck. In his previous two lives, he practiced the Pure Yang Wuji Gong until he was over a hundred years old, but he still had not reached the top. If it were not for his limited lifespan, Xin Zhen suspected that he could have become a land immortal.

Of course, the land immortals in the world of martial arts are not the same as the land immortals in the world of gods and demons.

After arriving in this world of gods and demons, perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy, the speed of practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong has increased greatly. I think the more I practice, the more special abilities will slowly emerge.

After an unknown amount of time, Xin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes. In the dark room, it was like a flash of lightning, which immediately woke up the sleeping Master Fahua. He asked, "Is that the fox fairy here?"

Tsk, during the day they called it a fox demon and a fox spirit, but now it has turned into a fox fairy. This great Zen Master Fahua is really well versed in human nature.

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Here it comes. Do you want to talk to it?"

The great Zen Master Fahua waved his hands and said, "I would like to talk to it, but it won't talk."

Xin Zhen nodded, thinking that there must be some unknown things in it, but it didn't matter. As the saying goes, you take money from people to help them get rid of disasters, so he wouldn't kill them right away. He would scare them first, and then everyone would know the situation when they sat at the negotiation table.

Xin Zhen stood up and opened the door. It was white outside. In the courtyard of the Zen room stood a graceful girl in white, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a very beautiful complexion and a temperament that was not like that of an ordinary girl. She was dressed in plain clothes, and the most eye-catching thing about her was the golden hairpin on her head.

Xin Zhen looked back at the monk Fahua who had spoken, and said, "You said that a rich lady in Xuzhou City was possessed by a fox demon. Are you sure it was a rich lady, and not a rich boy?"

The great monk Fahua smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, she is the daughter of the chief priest of Xuzhou City, named Fan Shiyi Niang. She is young and beautiful, and her literary talent is well known throughout the city. There is an endless stream of suitors coming to her house, but Shiyi Niang has never found a single one she likes.

Last year, during the Lantern Festival, the nuns in Shuiyue Temple held the "Yulanpen Festival". On this day, there were many prostitutes, and Fan Shiyi Niang ran into this fox... fairy, and this fox fairy entangled her.

Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Fan were just happy that their daughter had a female playmate to play with, but that day I saw it following Mr. Fan's family to worship Buddha, so I reminded Mr. Fan.

Fan Jijiu was horrified and begged me to help his daughter exorcise the demon. I didn’t think much about it and went to Fan’s house to set up an altar to exorcise it, but I didn’t expect…”

Master Fahua did not say the following words, but Xin Zhen continued in his heart: "...I didn't expect that my magical powers were not enough to drive it away. Instead, I angered it, so it entangled me..."

Xin Zhen found it funny in his heart, but he did not blame Master Fahua for being nosy. This was the rule of the human world. Humans and ghosts have different paths, and humans and demons also have different paths. Too much contact between humans and ghosts and demons would eventually be harmful to the human body.

When practitioners see demons and ghosts harassing humans, they usually warn them to leave, so this is not a big problem. However, this fox demon ignored this rule and dared to continue to harass after Master Fahua drove it away. This is against the rules.

Xin Zhen looked at the girl in white and asked, "Is what Master Huafa said true?"

The girl in white looked at Xin Zhen coldly with her peach blossom eyes and said, "Do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I don't mean to meddle in other people's business. I just want to talk to you about how to resolve this feud. We need to make it clear what's right and what's wrong."

Upon hearing this, the girl in white looked at Xin Zhen in surprise and said, "You want to reason with me?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "It is better to reason with others. Although humans are the mainstream of the world, all living beings have the right to exist in the world. Some conflicts can be resolved with reason, and they do not necessarily have to be resolved by force."

The girl in white looked at Xin Zhen in surprise and said, "You think you can't beat me, so you want to reason with me, right?"

Xin Zhen smiled when he heard that, and drew out his long sword. The long sword gleamed coldly in the snowy night. Xin Zhen said, "Want to try?"

The girl in white snorted and waved her sleeves. A strong wind blew up and all the thick snow in the Zen temple was blown away. For a moment, the Zen temple was covered in white and the girl in white was nowhere to be seen.

Xin Zhen snorted and rushed into the snow curtain. His speed was so fast that he seemed to disappear in the snow curtain in an instant. Xin Zhen broke through a passage in the snow curtain.

The great Zen Master Fahua tried hard to open his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what was happening in the snow curtain, but he only heard a tinkling sound of collision in the snow curtain, followed by a painful roar of a beast. Before the great Zen Master Fahua had time to be overjoyed, his eyes blurred and he saw that Xin Zhen was still in the same position, with not a speck of snow on his robe, and his sword was already in its sheath.

Heavy snow fell to the ground. After a while, the great Zen Master Fahua saw the girl in white standing in the yard. However, her face was full of fear and there were two pools of tears in her eyes, which would fall silently in the blink of an eye.

The great Zen Master Fahua probably understood that Xin Zhen had the upper hand in the fight in the snow, but he didn't know what Xin Zhen had done to make a little fox so scared and ashamed?

Bah, this beast!

The great Zen Master Fahua despised in his heart.

I only heard Xin Zhen say in a deep voice: "Can we have a good talk now?"

The great Zen Master Fahua looked at the girl in white with concern. The girl blinked her eyes slightly, and tears fell like beads.

Ah, what a beast!
Suddenly Xin Zhen snorted loudly, and the great Zen Master Fahua felt as if someone had struck a bell beside his ear. He woke up immediately and looked at the girl in white with some fear.

The charm of this slutty fox is really powerful. I fell into its trap again without knowing it!

However, the girl in white was unaware of this. Her ability to charm people was innate, and sometimes she could charm everyone without deliberately using it.

The girl in white said sadly, "I and Fan Shiyi Niang were in love with each other, and this bald donkey had nothing to do with it. But he came to destroy the relationship between me and Fan Shiyi Niang for that thing. After Fan Shiyi Niang knew that I was a fox, she was shocked, frightened and sad. Now she is sick in bed and will not live long. Do you think I am angry with this greedy bald donkey?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "It is indeed inappropriate, but now that Fan Shiyi Niang is ill, shouldn't we solve her illness first? Otherwise, if she gets hurt, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

The girl in white choked up and said, "Mrs. Fan Shiyi doesn't want to see me now, and it's difficult for me to save her. Otherwise, why would I come to bother this old bald donkey!"

Xin Zhen nodded and looked at the great Zen Master Fahua and said, "Master, this matter still depends on you."

The great Zen Master Fahua heard the string and understood the meaning, and said, "Let's go to Fan Jijiu's house immediately to treat Miss Fan, but this girl, Fan Shiyi Niang, doesn't want to see you..."

The girl in white started to shed tears again when she heard this.

Xin Zhen said quickly, "Why not ask this girl to disguise herself as my servant and go with me to see Fan Shiyi Niang? Then I can have a good talk with her and clear up the misunderstanding!"

The girl in white's eyes lit up when she heard this. She turned around and became a handsome little book boy. She asked Xin Zhen, "Is this okay?"

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded: "It couldn't be more appropriate."

The great Zen Master Fahua hesitated and said, "Then Miss Fan is probably really ill. Although I know some skills in praying and performing rituals, I have not learned much about medical skills..."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have learned the art of Qi Huang quite well, and Miss Fan should be worried. When the time comes, this... Yes, what is your name?"

The little servant said, "My last name is Feng, and I am the third child in the family. You can call me Feng Sanniang, sir."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "When Feng Sanniang and Miss Fan have resolved their grievances, the disease will naturally be cured by 70%. The remaining 30% will only be a matter of conditioning, which is not a big problem."

The little book boy looked excited.

Xin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "After I solve the problem of Fan Shiyi Niang's illness, you will stop bothering Master Fahua, okay?"

The little book boy nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

Master Fahua whispered, "But it's not good for demons and humans to have long-term contact, otherwise Fan Shiyi Niang will be harmed. Although she got this serious illness, it's mostly a mental illness, but it may not be unrelated to her long-term contact with you. If you want her to get better, you shouldn't have any more contact with her."

The little book boy glared at the great Zen Master Fahua.

Xin Zhen looked at the great Zen Master Fahua with some surprise. Although this monk was greedy for money, his heart was not that bad. If it were an ordinary person who had been entangled by a fox spirit for so long, now that he could escape, he would naturally not want to care about anything.

But the great Zen Master Fahua still cared about the young lady of the chief priest's family even though the fox spirit might be angry. This alone shows that the great Zen Master Fahua did have some Buddhist compassion.

Xin Zhen looked at the little book boy, who stood there blankly for a while, tears dripping down his cheeks. After a long time, he slowly nodded and said, "After I have made an agreement with Eleventh Lady this time, I will never see her again."
