Chapter 211 Playing with Fox

"It really opened my eyes." Simu shook his head. He was no longer afraid of Yan Xu and at the same time he let down a lot of his guard. After all, the person who was favored by these two great gods, although not as noble as a saint, was not a villain either. He also guessed the other party's intentions and was afraid that he was a guardian general trained by some family.

Both Buddhism and Taoism have guardian gods who are dedicated to killing, they are just called differently. However, they all need to go through the calamities of killing in the mortal world, so it is extremely difficult to achieve enlightenment. Without the awareness of sacrificing oneself to protect the Dharma, it is simply impossible to bear the burden, so they have a certain respect for them.

Four eyes were spying on him while their eyes were open. Yan Xu was not unaware of it, but he didn't care much because he would do the same if he were in his place.

Yan Xu had some understanding of Taoist Simu's character through film and television dramas, but even so, he only had seven levels of trust in him.

But Simu knew nothing about him and it was their first meeting, so it was normal and human nature for her to test him a little.

Of course, this was because Yan Xu knew what kind of person Simu was. If it were someone else, he would have taken action long ago.

Seeing Yan Xu's half-smile, Simu smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had discovered his little trick, so he hurriedly spoke.

"This fox demon has a lot of evil spirit, but it has no grudges. It obviously didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but it is still inevitable that it will suffer a disaster in the future."

When monsters kill people, no matter what the reason is, they have their own karma. That’s why only the immortals who are not personally involved in it are so concerned. Even if the incense is poisonous, it is much better than being entangled by karma.

"That's good. I can save its life." Yan Xu didn't care whether the fox demon had killed humans before. He had killed many. Not to mention that the other party was a demon and didn't need to abide by human rules.

Moreover, in Yan Xu's opinion, as long as no innocent people were killed, like the three horse thieves, he would not even look at it no matter how many of them died.

There is no way. There are just too many evil people these days, from those in power who do not treat humans as human beings to the farmers who work hard in the fields. If we follow normal moral standards, there are not many people who should not be killed. They are simply too numerous to be killed.

Yan Xu was not joking. Needless to say, the terrible things the Qing Dynasty had done were so deplorable that it was heartbreaking to see them sell their land for their own children. In order to maintain their rule, they did not hesitate to help foreigners squeeze out the last bit of value from their own people. It could be said that they had no bottom line.

Next, officials, warlords, landlords, businessmen, gangsters, sects, no matter which type, were all exploiting the interests of the lower-class people in various ways and did not care about the consequences at all.

Although the lower-class people suffer, they are not all innocent, at least according to modern laws and moral standards.

Lao Ma said that he didn't dare to stay overnight in an unfamiliar village easily, especially when he was alone. Not only was he afraid of not seeing the sun the next day, he was also afraid that his luggage, horse, and carriage would be gone early the next morning.

The worst thing is that when a person dies, no one knows where he is buried. It is useless to report to the police if something is lost because the other party has a villager who can testify.

Therefore, if a stranger entered an unfamiliar village, it was hard to say whether he could come out safely, not to mention that there were many bad habits during this period, such as drowning baby girls, eating the whole family and offering living sacrifices.

Even the drivers and boatmen had their own ways of doing business. It was a question whether a rookie could walk a hundred miles safely. That was why it was said that traveling far away was very dangerous these days, because there was no guarantee of life at all.

Even decades later, for a long period of time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, traveling long distances, especially to remote areas, was a very dangerous thing, because the more remote the place, the more closed it was, and the more closed it was, the less likely it was to reason, because they had their own set of rules, and it was useless to use moral laws to restrain them, so it was very common for long-distance drivers to be equipped with guns during that period.

But these days, just being alive is already a great effort, so many actions are really hard to evaluate. Yan Xu's moral bottom line has to be lowered as well, otherwise the number of people he could kill in Modou would be more than hundreds, or even ten times more.

"Tie it up yourself." Yan Xu shook his hand, and a blood-patterned chain dropped down and fell in front of the fox demon. Now it depends on the fox demon's choice. If it is tied up, it will lose its freedom but can survive. If it is not tied up, it deserves to be beaten to death. Who walks their dog without a leash?

Fox demons are never animals that would fight to the end. Even if they were stubborn enough to confront the earth, that was only when they were catching mice in the snow. So they tied the chain around their necks obediently and tried hard to learn from dogs, shaking their butts and their two tails back and forth, and swept the ground clean.

"Well, good, the road has become wider." Yan Xu smiled, and then touched Fury's head. It was furry and felt very nice, especially the big fox ears. But when he looked down, he wondered how he had such a curvy figure. The fat was accumulated in the right places. He was clearly a fox.

When Yan Xu was playing with the vixen, Taoist Simu beside him looked at him with envy. After all, this was his dream when he was young. However, after thinking of something, he frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then started to persuade him.

"Brother Yan, it's okay to play with a vixen, but don't be enchanted by her, especially the art of transformation. Those are all fake. It's better to get married and have children as soon as possible."

"No, the looks of my wives and concubines at home are better than this fox demon, which is not enough to make me obsessed. Besides, the strength of this fox demon is too weak. I am afraid that it will be made into a scarf in the blink of an eye." Yan Xu said, and the fox demon suddenly stiffened all over, and Taoist Simu was even more stunned, because they could hear that what he said was true.

"Brother Yan is very lucky, but this fox demon is entangled in karma. It will be difficult for him to overcome the calamity of transforming in the future." Taoist Simu couldn't interfere in Yan Xu's family affairs, but he knew that this guy knew what was going on, so he just shook his head and said.

"I am not very clear about this matter. Taoist Simu, can you explain it in detail?" Yan Xu asked with his hands clasped together.

"This is not a secret. Since Brother Yan wants to accept this fox demon, I will tell you in detail." After pondering for a moment, Taoist Simu told him in detail about the demon's cultivation.

Unlike humans, it is a hundred times more difficult for monsters to practice cultivation than humans, and the time required for cultivation is measured in hundreds of years.

For example, this fox demon has to practice for a hundred years before it can speak like a human, and it takes two hundred years for its form to begin to change, that is, to walk upright, and it takes three hundred years for it to transform into a human body.

These are what humans are born with, but monsters need to spend hundreds of years and go through hardships to obtain them, which shows how much God favors humans.

Moreover, this is a fox spirit that is good at transforming. If it were any other animal spirit, it would be even more difficult to change its form. If things go wrong, the transformation calamity may be overcome and the result may not be perfect, so it may become a half-orc with a beast head and a human body, and its practice will be ineffective.

It's bad enough that it's difficult to cultivate into a human form, but monsters will also face disasters every hundred years. For example, this fox monster, after practicing for three hundred years, will have to go through the disaster of transforming into a human form. Three thunders will fall from the sky, and the power of the thunder will increase or decrease with the merits and karma.
