Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 724 Fire Comes

Chapter 724 Fire Comes

Beilai Daxian is a person of temperament, with some of the heroic spirit of a female hero, and is good at the magic of gold and fire among the five elements.

But even a cheerful person like her pursed her lips at this moment, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

The foxes were learning how to drive fire. The bonfire in front of the altar was burning fiercely. The oil of the pine wood produced a rich and fragrant aroma under the catalysis of the flame.

The fire for the bonfire was taken from the incense burner on the altar, and the scent of incense remained.

The foxes gathered around the campfire, each with a thin, dry pine branch in front of them.

All they had to do was use magic to take out flames from the campfire and light the pine branches in front of them.

But at this moment, most of the foxes were staring at the campfire with a distracted gaze. The warm flames and pleasant pine scent made them relax, but it was easy for them to relax too much and turn into little animals warming themselves by the fire.

The disadvantage of adjusting the order of the Nine Methods is that there is not enough time to lay a solid foundation for training Qi and nourishing the spirit, resulting in slow progress in the subsequent practice of escape techniques and self-defense methods.

Cultivation is not an easy thing.

Just like being a person, knowing yourself, knowing others, and knowing the relationship between people is a lifelong task. People spend their whole lives dealing with the relationship between themselves and others.

From the perspective of spiritual practice, understanding the relationship between man and heaven and earth and learning to get along with heaven and earth are also eternal lessons.

For the little foxes, they have no way to understand the world on their own and can only borrow from the experience of their predecessors.

It is like a parent pointing to a stranger and saying, this person has a good heart and is a good person, we can get along with him. When he comes, we should treat him with delicious food and good wine, listen to his words, tell him about his troubles. If he has difficulties, we should help him, and he will also help us.

This is what the Immortal Beilai is doing now. Based on the experience summarized by his predecessors and his own actual practice insights, he is teaching the fox how to make use of different spiritual inspirations between heaven and earth.

However, if the foundation of practicing Qi and nourishing the spirit is not solid, the experience of predecessors will be greatly reduced.

Gong Mengbi walked to the side of the Immortal Beilai, who nodded to him.

Looking at the foxes in front of the altar, some of them have already succeeded. These people have practiced a little before entering school, and they know some tricks such as fanning the dark wind and lighting the will-o'-the-wisp. They can easily complete it based on their old experience.

Some foxes gradually figured it out, using their meager magic power and weak spirit, following the Taoist teachings of the Great Immortal Beilai, and could barely feel the strong fire, causing the flames in the bonfire to jump slightly. However, they could not tell whether the flames were jumping naturally or they had already achieved some results.

Most of the foxes were already distracted and were simply enjoying the joy of the campfire.

Gong Mengbi picked up a pine branch, walked to the campfire, and brought the pine branch close to the campfire. Soon, the pine branch was ignited and a faint smoke floated up.

"To light the pine branches, just get close to the flame." Gong Mengbi said.

Master Gong came in person, and the foxes all looked at him.

"If the flame is a person, it is beckoning me to come closer, and when I come closer, the pine branches will catch fire."

"If I don't move, how can I light the pine branches?"

Beilai Daxian understood and said, "Then I'm afraid the flames need to get closer to you."

Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "That's right."

A fox bravely asked: "How can I get the fire closer to me?"

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Your name is Gan Rou, right? Can you come over to my place for a moment?"

Gan Rou didn't know why, and walked to Gong Mengbi nervously, saying, "Master..."

"You're already close." Gong Mengbi's eyes were filled with comfort and expectation, and he said, "You're so close to me."

"But this is because the Master asked me to come here. How can a flame come here if it has no ears or legs?"

Gong Mengbi pointed at the Immortal Beilai and said, "Mr. Beilai has ears and legs, so why is Gan Rou the one who came here instead of the Immortal Beilai?"

"Because the Master called my name."

Gong Mengbi said: "Yes, you didn't come to me because you have ears and legs, but because I called your name."

Gan Rou's head began to feel dizzy. She asked, "But fire has no name?"

Gong Mengbi said: "You have already said the name of 'Flame'."

"but……"

"Try it first, call it first."

Gan Rou had no choice but to raise a pine branch and shout at the campfire, "Flame!"

The bonfire leaped, but there was no response.

Gan Rou had no choice but to look to Gong Mengbi for help.

Gong Mengbi raised the pine branch in his hand. The flame on the pine branch had gone out. Half of it was burned off, and now there was still a spark flickering in a dim light. "Why isn't yours lit?"

Gan Rou racked her brains and said, "It has no ears, so it can't hear me calling it. But when the Master called me, I heard it."

"Yes, but how can we make it hear it?"

Gan Rou didn't know.

Gong Mengbi looked at the Immortal Beilai and asked, "How did Mr. Beilai teach you to drive away fire?"

Gan Rou said: "Mr. Beilai asked us to sense the fire and use magic power to induce it."

Gong Mengbi looked at Gan Rou, his eyes fixed on her, making her feel the feeling of being watched, and then called her name: "Yes, Gan Rou, please go back."

Gan Rou turned around uncontrollably and returned to her seat. When she stood still, she suddenly came to her senses: "Master, what just happened was..."

Gong Mengbi laughed inexplicably and said, "That was the Gan Qu Jutsu just now."

Gan Rou's head suddenly buzzed. She was a little at a loss, feeling shy and surprised, but what came to her was more of an inspiration.

She looked at the fire, stared at it, mobilized her spirit, conveyed her command, and the magic power naturally followed. When she opened her lips to call, but no sound came out, her lips opened and closed, saying, "Fire!"

The bonfire was jumping, and it seemed that a hot breath was flying out from the bonfire and condensing on the pine branch in Gan Rou's hand.

There seemed to be a very slight sound like the sound of flowers blooming, and green smoke came out of the pine branch in Gan Rou's hand, and a spark came out, swaying gently in the night wind.

"I succeeded!"

Gan Rou's cheerful voice rang out. She held up the pine branch in her hand and jumped excitedly. The flames on the pine branch swayed up and down, but they glowed and radiated heat firmly.

"Wow!"

All the foxes who had failed came over to watch, asking in unison, "How did you do that, Gan Rou?"

"why?"

"what happened?"

She suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at a fox in front of her, and said, "Ning Dai, come here!"

Ning Dai said "eh" and walked to Gan Rou.

Gan Rou laughed loudly and said, "You have been hit by my Qu Ning Dai technique!"

Gan Rou waved the pine branch in her hand and said proudly, "Think about it carefully. The Master has already told us the secret!"
