He still clearly remembered that his aunt walked directly into the sarcophagus with ease. In the outside world, this was considered an extraordinary ability to "fly into the sky and hide in the ground", but she did not bother to show off and treated it as natural as breathing.
If my aunt wanted to leave secretly, she certainly didn't want him to find out, so she wouldn't have left this small hole...
Someone else stole my godmother's virtuous body?!
Chu Wuji couldn't imagine who would do such a thing.
Suddenly, the figure of the widow in the medicine shop appeared in my mind. She gave a prescription for a tranquilizing soup, which attracted a female ghost to possess the godmother's body that night.
Afterwards, Chu Wuzhi went to the pharmacy again, but there was no pharmacy there at all. It had been abandoned for a long time.
"...Could it be the widow from the drugstore?"
Chu Wuji ran out of the cave again and came to Tushan Yourong. She was still sitting on the big rock. Seeing Chu Wuji's reaction, she knew that there were probably some other interesting things to unfold.
"What do you want to ask me? Do you want to know who did it?"
"Yes, it seems that a thief stole my mother's body... When Fairy Tushan came here, did you find any suspicious clues?"
Chu Wuji expressed his thoughts just now and judged that his godmother would not pretend to be dead and leave on her own.
Tushan Yourong jumped up, her figure as graceful as a dancer. Her jade feet landed on the pool of water. She took a few light steps, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and walked delicately towards the cave. The waterfall at the entrance of the cave automatically parted to welcome her in.
A little fox wanted to imitate the fox, but it jumped lightly and fell into the water with a "splash", struggling miserably.
Chu Wuzhi picked up the little fox and ran into the cave.
"Your godmother has placed restrictions at the cave entrance and inside the sarcophagus. The aura of both is the same. These are the restrictions that you can't see~"
As Tushan Yourong spoke, he used magic to condense an ethereal and illusory little fox. The little fox swept its big tail at the entrance of the cave, and a layer of broken light curtain barrier emerged.
The light curtain showed a bright green color.
"This is not a barrier of my own, it is merely to make it visible so that you can see it more easily."
The magical little fox jumped near the sarcophagus again and continued to swing its fluffy tail. A similar emerald green barrier appeared on the sarcophagus, covering the surface of the sarcophagus.
"What are these restrictions for? To prevent harassment?"
"Of course, if this restriction isn't broken, even if someone passes by here, they won't even be able to see the cave entrance behind the waterfall. They'll only see a layer of stone wall. But this restriction won't protect you. And precisely because it doesn't protect you, you can't see or touch it."
......Before my aunt entered the sarcophagus to sleep, she warned me not to come back unless necessary. Her warning was so stern and earnest, but this forbidden barrier did not defend me at all.
She must have anticipated that I would come back to sweep the grave, and was worried that I would get anxious because I couldn't find the entrance to the grave?
Chu Wuji touched the small hole on the sarcophagus and felt a little angry:
"Fairy Tushan, who is that intruder here? Can you reveal this thief's whereabouts?"
The fox girl, who was full of charm and amorous feelings in her every move, shook her head helplessly and spread her hands regretfully:
"That person erased his traces. Very cautious... huh?"
Tushan Yourong suddenly discovered a new clue. She pointed to the top of the stone wall. After receiving the order, the little fox jumped into the air and shook its big tail. A row of dotted footprints became clearer.
Although the thief erased his traces of approaching the sarcophagus, he ignored the footprints when entering the cave.
Tushan Yourong followed this row of footprints out of the cave and finally caught some remnants of breath that had not yet been wiped out.
She further restored the aura, and a woman's face appeared.
Chu Wuji recognized her and found out that she was the widowed proprietress of that strange pharmacy!
In the afterimage, the widow proprietress was looking in the direction of the waterfall cave. She suddenly transformed herself into an inconspicuous little scorpion and crawled all the way towards the cave.
Tushan Yourong showed a playful expression:
"It turned out to be a scorpion demon. Its target was even clearer than when you peeped at me bathing earlier. It went straight for the sarcophagus~"
The holes on the sarcophagus were most likely caused by the scorpion's tail.
Chu Wuji was silent for a long time, and then he thanked Tushan Yourong:
"Thank you for the guidance of Fairy Tushan. My thoughts are a little confused, so I'll go outside and calm down for a while..."
He came to the pond and sat down, feeling a little complicated.
Having experienced two similar situations of his godmother being possessed, he is now extremely suspicious.
If it weren't for the help of this fox fairy, Chu Wuji would never have known that the thief was the Scorpion Spirit. Then, after a while, if he met his "godmother" somewhere else again, wouldn't his previous experience be repeated?
My godmother’s virtuous body is really like a delicious steamed bun, everyone wants to “steal” it!
"This is really too exaggerated. After my mother completed her merits, she was first possessed by a female ghost, then by my aunt, and now the Scorpion Demon is trying to cause trouble..."
Could it be that on the day the Scorpion Demon gave her the tranquilizing soup, she had already set her sights on her godmother's virtuous body, but was intercepted by a female ghost, so she failed to succeed and has been delayed until now?
"I don't know what this Scorpion Demon's motive is for having been planning this for so long!"
However, among this series of strange and chaotic events, one thing is certain - his aunt would not lie to him!
"Aunt is telling the truth about my mother's instinct as a white snake. What she says is absolutely true. My mother, Bai Sujin, has now achieved perfect merit and is ranked among the immortals. She will appear in person in half a year."
"The theft of the body of merit will not affect the appearance of my mother Bai Sujin."
"But as a son, I absolutely cannot tolerate anyone stealing my mother's body! It's my responsibility to settle the score with that scorpion demon."
The scene of fighting with the Rat Taoist last night emerged in Chu Wuji's mind.
I can break the Rat Taoist's arm with one punch, but when the other party starts to cast spells and use magic weapons, I have no way to stop him!
Chu Wuji suddenly discovered that after his godmother gradually withdrew from his life and stayed away from him, he encountered trouble more frequently.
I've been in trouble lately, and I can only sit there and stare blankly, worrying about the problems I've encountered, but I can't find a solution.
It's good to be distressed. If his aunt hadn't told him the truth that the female ghost was pretending to be Bai Sujin, he would probably still not know what happened and would have been fooled the whole time!
"Coming and going, it all comes down to the word 'Dao Xing'. Cultivation is the most important thing!"
Chu Wuji pondered for a long time, stood up again, and planned to ask the fox fairy about cultivation, and began to practice immediately.
But I saw that Tushan Yourong had rested at some point. She was lying on a rock beside the pond, as if she was lying on a chaise longue, with her beautiful eyes squinting as she took a nap, her posture elegant and graceful. A group of little foxes gathered at her feet, curling up their tails and taking a nap together.
"..."
Chu Wuji looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. It turned out that he had been in a trance for so long.
After all, it was not a good idea to disturb him, so he could only sit cross-legged and wait.
......
As the afternoon sunlight gradually turned orange and evening approached, the coolness of the autumn night had already blown into the air.
Tushan Yourong woke up, and the little foxes beside her woke up too. They stretched themselves, shook their fur, and looked very comfortable.
She looked at the direction where the sun was about to set and said:
"I haven't had a nap in a long time, especially sleeping until the evening. I always feel a little special."
Chu Wuji glanced at the setting sun and echoed, "I feel as if I've been through another world, looking around blankly, and then loneliness surges in my heart."
Tushan Yourong's fox eyes flickered with interest and surprise:
"Yes, you hit the nail on the head. It felt like I had a long dream, and when I woke up I couldn't tell which side was the dream... You must have been waiting here for a long time. What did you want to ask? About the Scorpion Demon?"
"It's about cultivation. I want to start practicing now."
Chu Wuji stated his request directly and clearly, and Tushan Yourong also put away her playful nature and did not keep anyone in suspense, but responded concisely and clearly.
"Yes, but I'm afraid that after you've progressed a certain distance in your cultivation, you'll have no way to improve further. It's like finding a manual, practicing diligently for years, and suddenly discovering that the rest of the manual has been lost."
Chu Wuji remembered the concerns his aunt had mentioned. She was worried that the demon race's cultivation was not suitable for humans and would not allow him to go far, so she hoped that he would use his merits and luck to seek opportunities.
"Fairy Tushan, are you saying that the demon race's cultivation methods are unsuitable for humans? Then can I seek out the White Tiger Mountain Monarch? She's an auspicious and benevolent beast..."
Tushan Yourong misunderstood Chu Wuji's meaning, thinking that he had naturally labeled some demons as good or evil in his mind, and asked unhappily:
"Is Baihushanjun not a demon? Then do you think I am a demon or a good omen?"
Chu Wuji quickly waved his hands and explained:
"I don't have that kind of thought. I was raised by the demon tribe, and my godmother is a giant white snake. But she didn't teach me how to practice. She felt that the demon tribe's practice methods were not suitable for me, and wanted me to learn other methods."
"So that's what you mean..."
Tushan Yourong could probably understand the white snake's thoughts.
The demon race only needs to taste a wisp of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to have enough lifespan to practice.
Don't rush.
The human lifespan is really short. Although it is said to be a hundred years, only a few can actually reach the age of sixty, and the energetic years are only about ten years. The rest of the time is spent on decline, and there is not enough energy to practice.
Hurry!
However, one must not be impatient when practicing cultivation, as problems will arise if one is impatient, so very few people can become cultivators.
It is so rare that many ordinary people may never see an immortal flying in the sky once in their entire life.
Tushan Yourong's fox eyes shone with golden light, as if she could see through everything about her prey, emitting a captivating majesty. She carefully looked at Chu Wuji and murmured:
"Back in the day, I could see through you at a glance and tell you which path to take... Your spirit, energy, muscles, bones and skin are all in good shape. Your body is comparable to that of a wild beast in the mountains. It would be a shame if I didn't put in some effort."
"I will use the White Fox Clan's body-building methods to help you hone your physical body and blood. I'm not seeking to achieve the legendary 'body sanctification,' but simply to delay the decline of your blood and energy. Being energetic is essential for cultivation."
"The most important thing is that the results of polishing your physical body and blood can be seen in a short period of time. Even if I lose your guidance in the future, it will not affect your subsequent practice."
Chu Wuji believed that this fox fairy would not give him a perfunctory recommendation, but he had many questions and asked:
"Physical cultivation? Physical sanctification? What is that?"
Tushan Yourong saw that Chu Wuji really didn't know any relevant common sense, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The White Snake mother who raised you really doesn't say anything at all. She's just waiting for you to use your merits and luck to find an unlucky master?"
The cultivation methods of each race are different. The human race’s cultivation model has basically been figured out, and it is all in those holy places and major sects.
We cannot say that the cultivation methods of these major forces are necessarily the "version answers", but they are definitely not far off.
Ordinary cultivators confirm their talents and qualifications when they are young, and then begin to prepare for practice in this area and lay the foundation.
While you are still growing up, you should first strengthen your body, open up your spiritual meridians, qi organs and acupoints, and lay a good physical foundation for subsequent cultivation.
Generally, when the development is completed, one stops tempering the physical body and enters the stage of formal practice wholeheartedly, delving into the exercises, comprehending the great principles, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and using the spiritual energy to nourish the physical body.
This is the cultivation trajectory of the human race. Each force has its own understanding and adjustments, and there are slight differences.
However, a few people took a different approach and directly trained their bodies, trying to make their bodies comparable to ancient beasts like Kunpeng.
It is easy to narrow the path at first glance, but some people's talents can only be cultivated in this direction. God has given them vegetables but not rice, so what can they do?
Chu Wuji started practicing late, and his natural luck didn’t seem to be that good, but his physical energy and blood were amazing.
His prime years are destined to be longer than those of ordinary people, and he has a strong physical foundation, making him the most suitable person to expand his advantages in this area.
Try to maintain sufficient energy and vitality before finding a spiritual guide who can provide long-term guidance.
Chu Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and asked:
"The conditions for cultivation are so harsh, even a single mistake is unacceptable. How did the first practitioners learn how to cultivate? Who guided them?"
Tushan Yourong said as a matter of course:
"Luck is guiding them, just like the anglers by the river. Those with good fortune will catch fish without even trying to avoid them; those with poor fortune will sit there until they die without a fish biting."
Chu Wuji was silent for a moment, then asked:
"If I strengthen my body and blood, how can I deal with those invisible spells?"
"Eyes are also part of your body. If you don't train them, how can you see those things?"
The charming fox girl pointed at her eyes and demonstrated it herself. Normally they were brown, but suddenly they turned into golden animal pupils.
She further explained:
"Through physical training, all the necessary abilities are present, but the effect is a little less pronounced. Just like someone who tries to catch fish when they can't, at least they can fill their stomach. Or like a forced, unsweet melon, at least it can quench their thirst."
"Fairy Tushan, please don't say that. One of my friends is about to be defeated..."
Chu Wuji looked miserable. He suspected that the fox fairy had made such an analogy on purpose.
However, after being explained in such a simple and easy-to-understand way, he finally understood how to proceed on the path of cultivation.
For half a year, just mindlessly stack your own stats, and you won’t go wrong!
It’s no problem to return to practicing Taoism when there is a new opportunity!
Chu Wuji was not just excited, he remembered a very important thing:
