Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Chapter 362: 【Nine-tailed fox is not a fox】

  Chapter 362 [Nine-tailed fox is not a fox]

  Fang Chang looked in a certain direction and said with a smile:

"The goods on your carriage were lost just now, and it wasn't that they were patronized by thieves when you were staying. Just now, when the thieves were stealing, I just happened to see them. Just notice it."

  The people in the convoy and the onlookers expressed disbelief.

   After all, in broad daylight, no matter how good your skills are, you can still steal the goods from the carriage tied tightly with oilcloth and rope under the eyes of everyone? This is beyond common sense. As for the legendary ghosts, gods and demons, no one has ever seen them, so naturally they cannot be counted.

  But then, they heard Fang Chang say:

   "He hasn't gone far, you wait for me here, and come when you go down."

   After all, the white-clothed man in front of him floated away at the speed of the rumored top Jianghu master, and he was dozens of feet away in an instant.

  Everyone was overwhelmed by this "extremely handsome kung fu", and immediately believed it.

  The team steward was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Let's wait here, this one just now is not an ordinary person."

  Everyone obeyed, and many passers-by who were not in a hurry also decided to continue watching.

  However, no matter the people in the convoy or the onlookers, they all sneered at the statement that the convoy steward was in charge. After all, with the ghost-like agility of the man in white, who can't tell that he is not an ordinary person? But it was the fact that the team steward had just vented his anger on his staff, which made everyone look down on him.

  In order not to shock the world, Fang Chang didn't let go of the speed too much, he just pressed the limit that the Jianghu people could do, followed the breath he had noticed before, and kept chasing. When he got to a position where the people on the official road couldn't see, he suddenly increased his speed.

  So his whole body, like a wisp of smoke, chased far away in an instant.

  A monster carrying a package on his way happily was also caught by the back of the neck and lifted up.

  But it is a monster that has already transformed into a slender girl, carrying a large package that does not match her body shape. Being lifted up suddenly, she kicked her legs a few times in the air, but only stepped on the air. In great horror, she cried aloud:

"let me go!"

   So she was let down and fell to the ground.

  As soon as her feet touched the ground, the monster immediately wanted to run away, but she immediately realized that the existence that could quietly come behind her and lift herself up... couldn't run away.

  She stopped her momentum, turned around, with an apologetic smile on her face, and begged for mercy.

   It seems that she is also a demon with a lot of life experience. Knowing how to deal with this situation can reduce the risk.

  Fang Chang didn't care about this, he said directly:

   "You stole the goods on the car just now, right?"

  The girl shook her head, nodded again, and said with a bitter face, "It's me..."

  Then she threw the big package behind her on the ground. The package was not tied tightly, and it was shaken apart, revealing the contents inside. It was the cargo dropped by the convoy just now.

   People steal and get.

  Fang Chang didn’t rush to get to the point, but asked the transformed monster in front of him, “What kind of monster are you?”

   "Nine-tailed fox." The girl said.

   Without waiting for Fang Chang to ask further questions, the girl showed her original shape with a slight shake.

   So this is the Nine-Tailed Fox... Fang Chang thought to himself. He has read many descriptions in various classics and natural history, but the words are often concise and there are no pictures.

  Now I can see with my own eyes that the prototype of this monster is actually a red panda.

  It has only one tail, but there are nine rings with different fur colors on it, that is, "nine tails". From what Fang Chang saw, the aura on this monster's head was clear and there was no evil, which showed that he usually did not do evil, and he didn't know why he was stealing like this today.

  Just listen to the nine-tailed fox demon say:

"My name is Qingyu, I have no surname, and I come from Qingtu Mountain in the south. There are many of the same kind there, and the local humans also call us 'nine-section fox' and 'nine-tailed wolf', but almost all of them are ordinary beasts. Dozens Years ago, due to fate, I suddenly developed my spiritual wisdom, and after going through hardships, I successfully transformed into a form, so I wandered around the world."

   Then she regained her human form and bowed her head in silence.

  Seeing that Qingyu made a confession so readily, and cooperated so well, it was hard to persecute her. Fang Chang shook his head, then asked back to the topic:

   "Your cultivation base is not low, why do you want to steal other people's goods? What is the reason here?"

   Qingyu saw the white-clothed practitioner, his tone was calm and not violent, knowing that he was not in danger of his life today, he also relaxed and became more courageous. She gave a slight salute, and still said to Fang Chang with a little uneasiness:

   "I know this is wrong, but there is nothing I can do..."

  The little nine-tailed fox babbled on for a long time, and Fang Chang understood after listening. Since the demon took shape, he came to live in the human world according to the instructions, and experienced the vast world. As a result, he was thin and small, lacked the means of making a living, and lived in poverty.

   As a result, the neighbors encountered difficulties, and the two neighbor boys she had befriended also fell ill. She was very anxious, but she was not experienced enough and couldn't think of other ways, so she had no choice but to focus on stealing.

  She stepped on the spot for a few days and chose the caravan on the official road in the distance.

  According to what the monster said, she thought that the convoy would always have to travel a long way back, as long as the lost goods were not too many, and she didn't have the energy to pursue them too much.

   That's why she didn't choose to attack those rich and powerful people from all over the place, because she was afraid that the other party would keep finding her after all. After all, although her skills were quite good, as long as she acted, there would be clues, and it would be bad if she missed.

   It turned out to be a car bandit.

  Fang Chang secretly thought that her idea was correct. If she didn't meddle in her own business, the convoy would eventually leave, and if she lost it for some unknown reason, it would definitely become an unsolved case in the end.

   Seeing that she was telling the truth, he gave the Nine-Tailed Fox admonishment, his face paled in fright and he nodded repeatedly.

   Then Fang Chang opened the package, took out two large pieces of silver, and said:

"Here, take it, exchange this, and treat them. Don't do evil again in the future. You must know that evil has a beginning, and it will be difficult to end. It will only get deeper and deeper in the future, and it will eventually lead to big crimes." Wrong, it’s hard to turn back. I will take these stolen goods back and return them to their original owners, so let’s go.”

  Nine-tailed fox Qingyu took the silver, beamed with joy, and thanked her repeatedly.

  Fang Chang simply packed up the scattered packages on the ground and held them in his hand, but saw that the nine-tailed fox demon opposite him did not leave, but stared at his hand, and murmured in a very small voice:

   "Furoshiki—"

"oh."

   Fang Chang tore off the wrapped cloth and threw it back to the monster in front of him, still carrying the goods. Qingyu immediately took it, and fled in a flash with the speed of running away before, and disappeared after turning a few turns.

   Shaking his head, Fang Changxu returned to the official road with the stolen goods he had found.

   The crowd who didn’t stay here and waited to see clearly, he threw the goods he was carrying on the ground and said:

   "It's back."
