I Can’t Be a Sword God

Not long after, the sky began to rain lightly.

When he came to the front hall, Li Chu accidentally discovered that a pilgrim who had arrived earlier had already prostrated himself there.

It is slender, with white fluff, lying there like a fluffy snow dumpling. A pair of front paws are clasped under the head, and the eyes are closed, as if praying for something.

The one kneeling down in the hall to worship the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty was actually a wild fox.

Li Chu didn't bother it.

Animals have spirits and should be treated equally.

After a long time, the white fox opened his eyes, and looked at Li Chu with big warm and shining eyes, showing a trace of gratitude.

Li Chuchong nodded to it.

The white fox seemed to see that Li Chu didn't care about him, so he relaxed, got up, spread his paws reverently, and bent down to kowtow seriously.

So back and forth, three bows and nine knocks.

After paying respects, it took another deep look at Li Chu before turning around and leaving. The thick tail is attached to the back, but the movement is extremely flexible, and it disappears in two or three strokes, like a white light.

There was rain in the courtyard, and it was a bit muddy, but it passed lightly and deftly, without any mud getting on its body.

Although Li Chu felt that it was novel, he also saw a lot of strange things during this period, so he was not too surprised.

During lunch, he mentioned this matter to Yu Qi'an.

"Wild fox worship, it seems that it is about to transform into form, come to ask for the blessing of the Sanqing Patriarch, I may see it every day in the future." Yu Qi'an said leisurely.

Transformation is the first big hurdle on the road of cultivation for monsters. If you don't transform, you will always be a mountain spirit and wild monster, with the body of a beast, and you will not be blessed by God.

You must go through the baptism of the catastrophe and succeed in transforming into a human body in order to restrain your evil spirit and transform into a human body.

Human beings are the primates of all things, and there are many benefits to human practice.

"Is it okay?"

"Dare to come to worship Sanqing, which means that it is also a demon of integrity. It has never done any evil to others, so let it go. In the future, it will succeed in transforming and be friendly to people, which is also a merit for us."

"It's not easy to transform into a monster." Yu Qi'an sighed.

Some monsters that are born lacking in spirituality, such as plants, trees, mountains and stones, may take thousands of years to have an opportunity to transform.

And the fox family is born with psychics, and can transform into form after more than a hundred years.

But at the same time, the risk of facing catastrophe will also greatly increase.

At least 50% of the monsters will die in the catastrophe of transformation.

Therefore, there have always been many monsters in the mountains and fields that have been aged for a long time but still have their own bodies. They just dare not experience the thunder disaster. But if you don't change form and your realm is blocked, you can't increase your lifespan.

Those who accept the catastrophe usually find some ways to increase the success rate.

For example, worshiping Buddha in temples and worshiping gods in temples are common ways, which may add a little bit of luck, but they cannot play a decisive role.

In order to transform successfully, some monsters will throw themselves into the fairy gate, or follow the great supernatural beings.

Monsters with the protection of sects or great powers will get a lot of support when going through the catastrophe, and the chance of success will also be greatly increased.

As the saying goes, leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade.

And among the Twelve Immortal Gates there is a special letter of righteousness, which is to attract monsters with the method of sealing righteousness inherited from ancient times.

For monsters who have been sealed by Qi refiners, the probability of successfully crossing the tribulation can be as high as 80%.

However, the conditions for sealing the righteous sect are very strict. All monsters who want to be sealed must sign a blood contract, and they will be slaves in the door for a hundred years after being transformed. After a hundred years, you will be free.

Most of the Yaozu are born and raised, and they like to live an unrestrained life. But in order to survive the catastrophe, countless people were enslaved by the Fengzheng faction, which shows how attractive the shape is to monsters.

It was raining continuously, and few people would come to the Taoist temple—in fact, there were not many people who came on sunny days.

Yu Qi'an then told Li Chuduo something.

Li Chu was fascinated by the sporadic sound of rain.

"The Fengzheng Sect will send monsters to Chaoge City every year to make offerings to those court dignitaries in exchange for privileges that other immortal sects do not have. So in the past few years their power has grown bigger and bigger, and their disciples have received more and more monsters. There are more and more, and they are thriving." Yu Qi'an looked into the distance, twitched his beard, and said contemptuously: "I don't know how to cultivate, but I have a way of doing business."

"Send a monster?" Li Chu tilted his head, puzzled.

"Hey." Yu Qi'an smiled: "The big shot in Chaoge City, what treasure haven't you seen? But... I can't stand it."

A gust of wind sent the rain into the kitchen, which was cool and comfortable.

"Cat ear girl, vixen, mermaid..." Yu Qi'an muttered: "Who can't be tempted."

Li Chu blinked: "Cat, fox, fish?"

"There are also rabbit mothers and butterfly fairies. They are popular one after another. Recently, they seem to be popular with wings. When I was young, I went to travel and caught up with the popularity of femme fatales. Who didn't keep a snake in those years of court song dignitaries? Fine, I'm too embarrassed to go out."

"Huh—" Li Chu shook the rain off his body.

He always thought it was abnormal to keep snakes as pets.

Yu Qi'an seemed to see what he was thinking, and made a wave motion in the air with his arm.

"It's not a snake, it's a snake in human form. Its body is soft and slippery, as if it has no bones, and its tongue is eight inches long." He explained, and added: "It also has forks."

At this time, Li Chu heard footsteps in the front yard through the wind and rain in the backyard, so he stood up.

Yu Qi'an didn't hear footsteps, he didn't know someone was coming until he saw his apprentice get up.

But he heard it, and when Li Chu left, he was still muttering: "Snake letters all have forks, don't they?"

The meaning of the words probably means that this is nothing unusual.

"It's not uncommon to have a fork in a snake's mouth, but if it turns into a human, it will be... alas."

Looking at Li Chu's back, Yu Qi'an sighed slightly.

This apprentice is good at everything, respectful, filial, polite, and looks like himself.

It's just a little weird.

It was not so serious when I was a child, I thought it would be fine when I grew up, but who knows that it has become more and more serious in the past two years.

Daoist Yu pondered: "Is it time to find a marriage for him?"

...

It's just across the yard, and Li Chu didn't bother to open an umbrella. The stitches of the Taoist robes are dense and the fabric is also hard. When they reached the front hall, there were not many drops of water on their bodies, and they all fell off with a shake.

It is the loess paved in the backyard, and the shoes are a bit dirty.

He looked down, and the pilgrims who came also saw it, so he said with a smile: "I will pay you later, and I will also pave the backyard with green bricks for you."

Li Chu looked up at him and nodded.

The visitor was sitting on a futon, wearing a brocade black robe, a belt inlaid with flowers and jade, and the neckline was embroidered with gold thread. The appearance is also not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, and a rather heroic face.

This person is the seventh young master of the Wang family in Yuhang Town, named Wang Longqi, who is also Li Chu's old acquaintance.

Wang Longqi is considered a relatively kind person among the rich second generations in the local area. Although he is not motivated, he is not stubborn either. With such a family background and such an appearance, girls have always liked her.

He knew Li Chu also because of the girl.

Thanks to Feng Weimian for the 200 rewards.

I wrote too much in this chapter today, so I split it into two chapters...
