Something seemed to have happened on the outskirts of the city, Jiang Li, who was out buying breakfast, heard from the peddler.

"Monk Baizang has returned and lives in a temple on the outskirts of the city."

Today's fried cakes are soft and delicious, and the outer layer is golden and shiny.

Jiang Li: "Do you live with Monk Zhishi?"

While filling Jiang Li with oil cakes, the peddler said, "I heard no, I don't know why Zhi Shi kicked him out, and found another place to live."

It seemed that it had nothing to do with him, and Jiang Li no longer asked this monk Baizang.

April went out with Xiaowei Dan early in the morning, and hadn't come back in the evening, which was unexpected by everyone.

Jiang Li stood outside the door of the South Hall and waited.

March: "Isn't something wrong in April?"

As soon as Sanyue finished speaking, Jiang Li saw a flock of birds popping out of nowhere in the sky and spreading out in all directions.

Jiang Li: "I have left my soul."

Gu Qing heard what Jiang Li said, and went out of the door to ask: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Li shook his head, his eyes were a little dull.

April finally came back late at night with injuries all over her body.The red blood stains all over the snow-white skin startled everyone.

Sitting weakly on the chair, Siyue slumped back and hurriedly waved her hands, "It's not my blood."

Jiang Li: "What happened in the outskirts of the city?"

Si Yue raised her head and did not answer Jiang Li, her eyes unintentionally glanced at Gu Qing.

Jiang Li turned to Gu Qing and said, "Go to the backyard to warm up some food, I probably haven't eaten in April."

After Gu Qing went out, Si Yue immediately pulled up Jiang Li's clothes and said eagerly, "Monk Baizang massacred foxes on the outskirts of the city. Many family members and friends were killed by him. Wang went out to take revenge and hasn't returned yet."

Jiang Li remembered what the peddler said during the day, "Why did he kill the fox?"

April shook his head, and March said aside: "I heard that he has been to many places, and every time he went to a place, he killed us monsters in the name of eliminating demons, regardless of right and wrong, and executed them regardless of whether they hurt anyone or not." .”

But Qiyue shook her head and said, "It's not about killing all monsters, only foxes."

Jiang Li: "Only kill foxes?"

March and April also looked terrified, April: "Who did you hear that from?"

July: "It's the crazy fox you often talk about. It escaped to Sansuke from other places. It told me that it was frightened mad during that massacre."

No one spoke anymore, Gu Qing brought some leftovers from the kitchen in the backyard, Si Yue ate some and went back to the room.

March and July also left in silence.

They seemed to have dodged a bullet by staying in a brothel, but none of them were happy.

A sorrow greater than death hung over them.

Powerlessness.

Jiang Li was still thinking when he was sitting on the roof, why did Monk Baizang only kill foxes?

Gu Qing: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Li suddenly turned his head and saw that it was Gu Qing, "I didn't even hear you coming up."

Gu Qing: "It's not that I have a low voice, it's that you're preoccupied with what you're thinking about."

With that said, Gu Qing took down the jug from the tree, weighed it in his hand, and handed some more to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li waved his hand.

Gu Qing: "Is there something to worry about?"

Jiang Li looked into Gu Qing's eyes.

Gu Qing: "When I handed you wine for the first time, you said that you had something on your mind, and the more you drank, the more sad you became." Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Jiang Li: "How long has it been?"

Gu Qing raised his head and poured some into his mouth with the jug, swallowing it with a gurgling gulp. "It's been a month."

Jiang Li: "It's been so long since I took over the South Pavilion."

Gu Qing: "Although a month is not long, I think that everyone in the south hall is already a family with me." Gu Qing stood up, leaning against the tree, and looked at Yanming Lake. "I can feel that my family is having difficulties, but I don't know why they don't want to tell me, maybe it's because I'm useless."

Jiang Li looked up at Gu Qing in surprise, the moonlight was blocked by the canopy, and Gu Qing was immersed in darkness.

Gu Qing: "But they told you, didn't they?"

Gu Qing came out from the darkness, the cold moonlight finally shone on him, but Jiang Li didn't feel the coldness.

Gu Qing looked down at Jiang Li: "If you have the ability to help them, go ahead and do it."

Jiang Li opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Qing patted Jiang Li on the shoulder, "Don't feel guilty for hiding it from me, I can feel it's for my own good."

After finishing speaking, Gu Qing slipped the flagon down.

Jiang Li took off the wooden rabbit pendant from his waist and put it on the tree, but after a while, the rabbit pendant turned into a white rabbit.

The white rabbit is jumping between the branches, and sometimes it will pick the green leaves to eat.

Jiang Li: "Even you don't know what to do?"

The white rabbit glanced at the leaves, then at Jiang Li, "You only know how to make medicine, but you don't know how to use mana, how can you resist Bai Zang?"

Jiang Li looked back at White Rabbit, "Is there any medicine that will stop him from slaughtering foxes once he takes it?"

White Rabbit: "Unless you kill him, if he and the fox can only keep one side alive, who will you choose?"

Jiang Li lowered his head.

White Rabbit: "Because you have a good relationship with the fox, so you don't hesitate to kill the monk? Can you judge whether one party should die or not based on the distance between you and the fox?"

Jiang Li: "But Monk Baizang seems to be a bad guy."

White Rabbit: "But I heard that this Bai Zang is very pitiful to the poor peasants, and he often donates the money he earns from doing things to the poor."

Jiang Li seemed to have heard some incredible news, he stared at the white rabbit with wide eyes.

Jiang Li: "So why did he kill the fox?"

The white rabbit stopped talking and concentrated on eating the leaves in front of him.

Jiang Li stayed on the roof for a while, then picked up the white rabbit. The rabbit that was still alive and kicking just now turned into a pendant, and Jiang Li hung it around his waist.

The kitchen in the backyard was on fire again, and April stood at the window of the house to see the rising smoke.

"Today's moon is a full moon!" Gu Qing filled the wine from the lobby, climbed up to the roof, hung the wine pot on the tree, and took the half-eaten leaves from the branches.

……

Before dawn, April was waiting in the lobby, and the rest of the people hadn't woken up yet.

When Jiang Li came out from the backyard, he saw that April had turned into its original form - a white fox.

Si Yue motioned for Jiang Li to ride on, and took Jiang Li and galloped out the door.

Jiang Li: "I think it's a bit ostentatious. Others will be shocked when they see it."

April: "Ordinary people can't see me in my original form."

Jiang Li: "...Then don't you think it's more frightening for them to see me floating in the air?"

April:"……"

What can still comfort Jiang Li is that April's speed is really fast, and the journey that originally took an hour took less than a stick of incense.

When Jiang Li got off his back from Si Yue, he was still thinking that he could flash in front of them fast enough so that his face wouldn't be seen.

The grass and fields on the outskirts of the city are full of dead foxes, and some even nine-tailed foxes cannot escape this fate.

The early farmers couldn't really see the fox's corpse. They walked past the corpse talking and laughing without any fear.

Baizang was standing in the middle of the grass, holding a magic staff in his hand. When the peasants saw him, they greeted him and followed him in reciting "My Buddha is merciful".

They couldn't see the nine-tailed white fox under the staff.

Si Yue's body froze when she saw the white fox.

Although Jiang Li couldn't judge the fox by its original shape, he knew that the white fox was the king of April.

The white fox is dying, and if you get close, you can find that one of its tails has been broken.

Before Jiang Li recovered from the huge shock, he felt a gust of wind nearby, and then a white shadow flew out like an arrow.

Siyue pounced on Baizang, and inserted its sharp teeth into Baizang's arm, Baizang swung his arm in pain, and Siyue was thrown aside.

The white fox under the staff struggled a bit, and one of its tails was immediately crushed by the staff.

Jiang Li thinks that the seven-tailed white fox is actually good, as long as he can survive this disaster.

Jiang Li came out from behind the boulder, "My Buddha is merciful, Bai Zang."

Baizang's eyes did not fluctuate, and he replied, "My Buddha is merciful, the poor monk has never seen you, are you a nearby resident?"

Jiang Li didn't answer but just approached Baizang.

Bai Zang: "The poor monk lives in the Wubei Temple not far away. Donors can come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."

Jiang Li: "How respectful? With the killed fox?"

Bai Zang's eyes suddenly became sharp, he picked up his staff and pointed at Jiang Li: "Who are you?"

Jiang Li pulled off the pendant from his waist, "If I were a fox, would you kill me too!"

The pendant turned into a wooden sword, and the bell made a crisp sound, and the trees and grass on all sides became terrifying under the blowing of the strong wind.

Birds' calls suddenly sounded from the woods, and flocks of crows flew up into the sky, covering the sun that had not yet fully risen.

It was dark again.

However, Bai Zang's staff began to flash red, and he rushed towards Jiang Li with the staff. Before Jiang Li could react, the wooden sword in his hand flew out to fight Bai Zang.

The wooden sword was difficult to identify in the dark, and from a distance it looked like Baizang was the only one wielding his staff.

Jiang Li took out a elixir from his bosom and fed it to Wang, then ran to the other side to help Siyue up, and handed all the elixir in his bosom to Siyue, asking him to eat it for every fox.

But the staff flew directly towards him.

Jiang Li's back was directly hit by the staff, and he didn't stand up, lying on the ground.

Si Yue ran to Jiang Li's side and asked worriedly, "Jiang Li?"

Jiang Li bared his teeth, "I'm fine."

The wooden sword came to his senses, and swished back to Jiang Li's hand.

Bai Zang picked up the staff and approached with a vicious look: "If you are a fox, of course I will kill you."

With a sword in one hand, Jiang Li got up from the ground, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth when he struggled up.

The staff in Baizang's hand was still glowing red, as if he was even more excited when he saw the blood.

With the strong wind blowing everywhere, Bai Zang used his stick to face Jiang Li, and charged forward with a stride.

Jiang Li was startled, his feet were unsteady, and he sat down on the ground.

When the staff was only an inch away from Jiang Li, Jiang Li picked up the wooden sword and pointed it at Bai Zang.

A hoarse voice sounded, "I've been thinking, why do you want to kill your own kind?"

Bai Zang's eyes widened.
