Start as a Temple Spirit

"Drinking at a wedding..." Wangyou's slightly pale face turned red with embarrassment when she heard that, and she glared at Yibao fiercely.

“Hehe, um… um, clan leader, Xiaoyou wants to join the alchemy workshop and practice with the third elder, what do you think…” Yibao turned into a fool and spoke hesitantly.

Hearing this, the old patriarch glared at Yibao and said unhappily, "For such a trivial matter, you can just take Xiaoyou to find Wangmu. Why bother with this? It really makes the old man happy for nothing. He thought there was wedding wine to drink."

"I said it, but Xiaoyou doesn't believe it. I can talk to the third elder." Yibao said aggrievedly.

"Hmm." Hearing this, the old patriarch looked at Wangyou and asked, "Nizi, don't you know Xiaobao's position in Forgotten Township?"

Wangyou shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Yibao had never told him about his position in the village, and of course he had never asked.

"Haven't you two known each other since childhood?" the old patriarch asked in surprise.

But the old man knew how the two met, and that was several years ago.

The story begins with a young man who lost his leopard while traveling with the hunting team. He bravely rescued a girl named Fox who had fallen off the mountain and was collecting herbs.

"Chief, we have known each other for a long time, but we rarely had contact, and the only contact we had was through messages sent by the hunting team. He never told me his position in the village, and I didn't ask," Wangyou explained.

"Oh" the old patriarch understood. The fool Yibao didn't know how to show his strength in front of the girl.

The old man couldn't help but glared at Yibao again, and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there, you idiot? Why don't you take Xiaoyou to find Wangmu?"

"Oh, I'll take him right away." Yibao said as he was about to reach out to hold Wangyou's little hand.

The old patriarch was very pleased to see this, but the result was that the hand that the leopard stretched out was stopped in mid-air by his beast, and he dared not move forward an inch.

The old patriarch was so angry that he wanted to beat him up. Seeing this, the person involved, Wangyou, was so ashamed that he trotted out of the yard.

When the old patriarch kicked at him, the leopard suddenly realized what was going on and started chasing after him.

"It really makes the old man worry." The old patriarch said with regret.

The eight people, Zhong, Xiao, Liang, Quan, Leopard, Bear, Wolf and Snake, were all comrades who fled to the Forgotten Township with the old patriarch.

Now their father is gone and their mother can no longer control them.

Therefore, the elders such as Yiwu have to worry about their children starting a family and building a career.

Especially Zhong, Xiao, Liang and Quan, who are all over 30 years old and have not yet married and had children, which makes Yiwu and others feel ashamed of their comrades.

"Chief, there is something I need you to decide." Yifeng walked over and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" the old patriarch came back to his senses and asked.

"They are all orphans." Yifeng uttered these four words heavily.

"What?" The old patriarch opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"We are just siblings and have no parents." Yifeng said with difficulty.

When resettling the refugees from Fox Village yesterday, Yifeng saw a woman holding a child. There was dirt on the woman's face, which made him misjudge that the person holding the baby was the mother.

However, he, who was in charge of registration today, realized that he was wrong. They were all siblings, and the elders stayed behind to cover their retreat. No one caught up with the evacuation team.

"Is there no mother?" the old patriarch asked with a glimmer of hope.

"No, the oldest girl is no more than eighteen years old." Yifeng nodded heavily.

When the old patriarch heard this, an indescribable tragic scene appeared in his mind. It was a group of women who bid farewell to their own children and turned around without hesitation to rush towards the hideous and terrifying ghosts.

It took him a while to come back to his senses and said, "Let the villagers adopt them. If they don't want to, the four of us will adopt them as our grandsons and granddaughters."

"Yeah," Yifeng thought so too. In this way, the orphans would have someone to take care of them and would not have to live in shacks, so they could better integrate into the Forgotten Town.

This kind of thing has happened before.

So it was not difficult to arrange, and the villagers were also willing to adopt orphans.

Those who did not want to be adopted, the old patriarch, Yifeng, Yijin and Wangmu, were adopted as grandsons and granddaughters.

Of course, all the girls recognized Wangmu as their grandmother, so that all four of them had grandsons and granddaughters.

The adoption and fostering ended in the evening, and the shack was subsequently demolished by the reserve forces. Of course, this is a story for later.

After leading the villagers to burn incense, the three-tailed fox entered the Taoist temple under the guidance of Xiaocao, who was dressed in yellow clothes.

"Gu" The three-tailed fox entered the dojo and looked at the lush greenery, the winding streams, the purple clouds of incense and wishes floating in the golden sky, and the dojo full of spiritual energy, and couldn't help but open his fox eyes wide.

This is the real Taoist temple. I used to live in a small temple.

When Xiaocao saw the three-tailed fox, he opened his eyes wide in shock and felt a sense of pride.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp" the three-tailed fox made a cheerful sound and ran towards the white palace, as fast as an afterimage.

Seeing this, Xiaocao hurriedly followed.

Shang Liangshan, who was practicing swordsmanship in front of the hall, suddenly saw a silver shadow approaching from afar, and realized that it was the three-tailed fox coming.

He stood with his sword drawn, looked at the three-tailed fox that stopped in front of him to pay respect, and said with a smile: "You're welcome. By the way, do you have a name?"

"Gugu," the three-tailed fox responded.

"Xiao Li? It's a very appropriate name." Shang Liangshan nodded and said to Xiao Li, "Your injuries have not healed yet, and you have reached the bottleneck of level five, so you should follow Xiao Cao and find a place to practice."

"Gugu" The three-tailed fox bowed to Shang Liangshan again, then clasped his fists towards Xiaocao.

Xiao Cao thought for a while and said, "Master, the boss and I are both practicing by the underground spring, where there is abundant spiritual energy, so I will take Xiao Li to the underground spring first."

"Not a bad arrangement." Shang Liangshan nodded, looked at Xiaocao and Li and said, "You are both my disciples. I hope you can love each other. Do you two understand?"

"I understand, gu." Xiaocao and Xiaoli nodded at the same time.

"Then you two go and have fun." Shang Liangshan waved his hand.

Xiaocao and Xiaoli bowed to Shang Liangshan and said goodbye, then walked towards the underground spring.

When the three-tailed fox saw the Purple Spirit Guards training in the orchard, it opened its eyes wide again and asked Xiaocao a question with a "cooing" sound.

Xiaocao did not hide it and explained the existence of the Purple Spirit Guards and the Dark Spirit Guards.

The spring water is clear, the grass is green, and the spiritual energy is abundant.

As soon as the three-tailed fox arrived at Diquan, he fell in love with this place and couldn't wait to find a place to practice.

The grass, which had completed its mission, saw that Fangkuai was practicing obediently beside his boss, so it also went to the old place to practice.

As night fell, when Shang Liangshan came out of the Huawai Taoist temple and invited the old patriarch to continue comforting the people, he learned that the refugees in Fox Village were all orphans.

Maybe it was because he had no body, or because he was a temple spirit, he just felt tragic and was not overly affected by emotions.

He chatted with the old patriarch for a while, and then they patrolled the village together to continue comforting people.

Then, they discovered that someone had secretly made an appointment with a girl to patrol the village.

"Old Patriarch, Seventh Elder." The leopard who was caught scratched his head embarrassedly and greeted.

"Old Patriarch, hello, Seventh Elder." Wangyou greeted with a red face.
