There are foxes

Li Xiaojiu looked at those vegetarian meals and found it difficult to swallow.

The reason why it was hard to swallow was not because he didn't like vegetarian food or had any opinion on vegetarian food.He has a problem with Hu Sui, a certain kind of unfairness: Why can Hu Sui and his gang eat meat when he is a vegetarian here?

Then Hu Sui and the others can eat meat, why should he be a vegetarian?

Li Xiaojiu felt it was very unfair.

So he told Li Chengqi about Hu Sui and the others eating meat.Ling Chenyu next to him said: "We advocate vegetarianism, but we don't object to them eating meat. As long as they don't eat it in Baihuazhou, they can eat whatever they want."

Strictly speaking, Hu Sui and the others were not Taoists. They studied under Taoism, but they were regarded as government officials. There is no government official in any department who can only be vegetarian.They entered Baihuazhou to learn skills, and the purpose of learning skills is to serve the country, not monks.They neither cultivate immortality nor seek longevity, and it is not appropriate to ask them to strictly follow the principles of Taoism.As long as they don't mess around in Baihuazhou, the holy land of Taoism, everything else is up to them. This is the consistent purpose of Baihuazhou.

But Li Xiaojiu followed Li Chengqi, as a Taoist priest, he naturally had to abide by the clear rules and precepts, and he didn't dare to disobey them.

Li Xiaojiu was very depressed.

There is nowhere to vent his depression, so he can only think about Hu Sui bitterly, and from time to time a sentence pops up, demoting Hu Sui to nothing.

"Among the students in the same period, he has the worst grades, right? He draws the ugliest talisman seals, and he doesn't know anything about divination. How many points does he have left? Thirty? 35? He will have to leave when he gets zero, right? Uncle, you have always acted according to the rules, you won't keep him when the time comes, will you?"

Li Chengqi was indifferent and alienated, relatively speaking, he was kind to Li Xiaojiu, his nephew, and loved him.But this time Li Chengqi told him with certainty: "This person must be kept."

Ling Chenyu couldn't bear to look at Li Xiaojiu's face, Li Xiaojiu said: "Uncle, you want to keep him, I know why, isn't it because he looks like an old friend of yours? I can understand what you do , But what about him, why did he apply for training and pretend to be a rabbit spirit? Do you think he wants to learn Taoism during the past few days in Baihuazhou? He must have other purposes. You have forgotten many The goblin pretended to be a student and came to learn Taoism, but in the end it came to assassinate you?!"

No matter how much Li Xiaojiu said, it was useless, Ling Chenyu pulled him out and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

Li Xiaojiu didn't smoke, so Ling Chenyu ordered one himself, took a sip, and asked, "Why do you dislike Hu Sui so much, is it just because you suspect that his motives are impure?"

"I don't know, anyway, I get annoyed when I see him. We have been enemies for several lifetimes."

Ling Chenyu laughed, and Li Xiaojiu said: "Really, there is me without him, and there is him without me." As he said that, he tore off the scarf from his head and held it firmly in his hand.

You Qi became even angrier when he thought that Hu Sui was eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Hu Sui and the others found Xiaoyaoju and ordered a table of dishes. This restaurant really lived up to its reputation, and the lotus leaf chicken was a must.When Hu Sui left, he was still a little unfulfilled, planning to bring one back to Baihuazhou.

"This can't be right. Baihuazhou is a sacred place for cultivating Taoism, and meat is not allowed." Zeng Wen reminded him.

"Take it secretly, the sky doesn't know, the earth doesn't know, what are you afraid of, I don't want to live forever to be a god, and I'm not afraid of collision."

Immortals don’t care about mortal affairs in principle, and they won’t be easily cursed or bumped into. They are all people who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Like mountains and seas.

Fortunately, it was cold, and he was wearing thick clothes for this trip, so he took off his coat and wrapped the lotus leaf chicken.

In the afternoon, everyone went to climb the mountain to see the sea of ​​clouds, and he didn't go either. He took a late sleep in the small hotel next to him and was falling asleep when there was a sudden noise outside. When he got up, he heard someone shouting outside the window: "Oh my husband, come out and take a look, the Sanqing Temple is on fire!"

When Hu Sui heard this, he quickly slipped out of bed and ran outside to have a look, only to see the sky full of flames in the direction of Sanqingguan, which was more dazzling than the sunset glow in the west.A woman next to her was taking pictures with her mobile phone: "Oh my God, it's so scary, I want to take a picture and send it to Moments!"

"That's an ancient temple that has been around for hundreds of years, wouldn't it be completely burned down?" A man shouted.

Hu Sui didn't wear any shoes, so he ran out barefoot until he got close to Sanqing Temple, and then he let out a sigh of relief.It was not the Sanqing Temple that caught fire, but the commercial street next to the Sanqing Temple. Because there were many tourists, when the fire started, everyone fled, but a few people were injured during the escape.There was wind on the mountain, and the fire was uncontrollable when it burned. It burned several shops in a row. Hu Sui didn't dare to get too close, so he went up the stairs and walked in the direction of Sanqing Temple. When he reached the gate of Sanqing Temple, he saw Li Cheng Qi and the others, just as he was about to go up to them, he suddenly heard a cry of exclamation behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the flames in the burning place were suddenly swept up by the wind, leaping upwards, followed by a "bang" There was an explosion, and there was a scream from the crowd. Someone in front had already pressed his shoulder. Hu Sui turned his head and saw that Li Chengqi had already walked up to him, with a rather surprised expression on his face. He hurriedly looked back, Immediately stunned.

Because after he saw the flame rising, it suddenly transformed into a fire fox, jumped all the way along the burning eaves, and then disappeared in an instant.

Even Hu Sui was dumbfounded at this moment, what kind of operation is this? !

There was a strange omen near the Sanqing Temple, and they couldn't go back to Baihuazhou under the watchful eyes of everyone. Li Chengqi immediately asked Ling Chenyu to investigate thoroughly.The place where the fire was on fire has already subsided. The sky is dry and the things are dry, and the wind is strong. It burns quickly and only the ruins are left.The crowd of onlookers hadn't dispersed yet. Ambulances and fire engines came. Several people suffered minor injuries. A girl was the worst with serious burns and was quickly carried away by the ambulance.

After a while Ling Chenyu came back, bringing a three or four year old child with him, who was carved in pink and jade, even though his body and face were covered with dirt and black, he could still see his fair and tender appearance, he was just walking with a limp .

"Little Er?" Li Xiaojiu came out and asked.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, Li Xiaojiu said: "He is the second child in their family, I recognize him, I was the one who arrested them, and I let him go."

"Why are you arresting them?" Hu Sui asked.

"I think their family is acting suspiciously, like some goblins with malicious intentions, so just arrest them."

Hu Sui hid behind Li Chengqi: "Then why did you let them go?"

"I think they are not bad-hearted, they are good monsters, so let them go."

What a willful little princess!

Li Chengqi frowned, and asked Ling Chenyu: "The Firefox just now, is he?"

Ling Chenyu nodded: "This little monster is still young, and I recruited them all when I caught them."

He said to the little boy, "Tell me again what you just told me."

The little fox named Xiao Er was not very old, but he looked very winkingly, and bowed to Li Chengqi, and fell on the ground to tell the story of the future.

It turned out that after the vixen family was freed, seeing that there is a lot of aura here, and the Sanqing temple has a real god resident, the fox father of this little demon thinks that staying here to practice, even listening to the evening drum and morning bell in the temple every day will help his cultivation. So the family lived in an idle house at the back of the commercial street. All the adults in the family went to the mountains to pick up fruits that day, leaving the little demon to sleep late at home, not wanting to be awakened by the sudden explosion. He was already in the flames, he was frightened for a moment, and he was in a hurry to escape, which is why he made such a big commotion.

"But this fire is so strange," Xiao Er said, "It seems to trap me, and I couldn't get out at first."

Seeing that the child was cute but articulate, Hu Sui liked it very much, and hurriedly said to Li Chengqi: "The child is ignorant, he must be frightened, Li Bu, don't punish him."

For any kind of creature, the number of spirits is directly proportional to the number of groups. Now there are pitifully few foxes in this world, and only one in ten thousand can become spirits, so it is even rarer. In ancient times, most fox spirits It was almost extinct during the Gui Chou Rebellion.This is the first time Hu Sui has seen a strange vixen since he was so old, and he felt a sense of racial intimacy, so he pulled the little fox and wiped his face.

"I also think this fire is strange," Ling Chenyu said, "I just went to look at the place where the fire was on, and the fire couldn't be extinguished at all. It was clearly a ghost fire, and it burned up completely."

Li Xiaojiu sneered and said: "Then I want to see what kind of ghost is so desperate to act wild near Sanqing Temple."

When Li Xiaojiu and Ling Chenyu were going to find out what happened, Hu Sui was a little moved and wanted to follow them to see how they hunted ghosts. Li Chengqi said, "You've been outside for a long time, haven't you had enough shopping?" ?”

Hu Sui said: "But I want to follow them to see how they catch ghosts. Don't I want to do this in the future? Let's see how they do it first, which is also learning! It just so happens that Xiao Er's family will come back later for sure." I want to find him, and I'll send him back."

Li Chengqi pondered for a while and said, "Let's go together."

Hu Sui happily hugged Xiao Er in his arms. It was probably a racial reaction. Xiao Er was very close to him. He was only the size of a three or four-year-old child, and weighed thirty catties at least. He carried Xiao Er for a while. , turned around and saw Li Chengqi with his hands behind his back, walking in a very old-fashioned way, so he asked him: "Do you want to hug?"

Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment, knowing that Hu Sui was tired from holding him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Hu Sui handed the second child to him. Li Chengqi probably had never held a child before, so he didn't know how to hold a child at all, and his expression and posture were quite awkward. He will suffer!"

Xiaoer hurriedly said: "I can walk by myself... I'd better walk by myself..."

"You can hold him with one hand, let him sit on your arm, and support his leg with the other hand." Hu Sui showed him a demonstration as he spoke, and now Li Chengqi finally hugged him correctly, and Hu Sui again Said to Xiao Er: "I see that your shoes have burnt holes, and you must have burned your feet. You can't walk anymore. I'll buy some medicine later and wipe it for you. Your Uncle Li is very strong. He is a grown-up. It's easy to hug you, it's easy to hug you!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqi glanced at him, didn't speak, and walked forward with Xiaoer in his arms. After walking for a while, he suddenly asked:

"How do you know I can be hugged by an adult?"

I didn't expect Li Chengqi to be serious about what he said to a child. Hu Sui turned around and asked, "Can't you hug it?"

Li Chengqi hid his eyes again and said, "It's easy to hug."

However, this question and answer always feels a little strange.It seemed that Hu Sui had seen him hug an adult, and his answer seemed to be admitting it.Li Chengqi felt a little strange, so he coughed and said: "A gentleman does not spit falsehoods, just tell me frankly, I don't know."

"……what?"

"I've never hugged an adult before, so I don't know how to hug or not..." Li Chengqi looked straight ahead and said seriously, "But it should be possible to hug."
