Chapter 620 Red Fox and White Fox (VII)
"So, you used illusions to confuse a group of people, convincing them that the young master of the Zhou family has not actually passed away and is still alive in the world?"
Bai Hu sighed softly, and there was a bit of worry between his brows:
"But if you do this, won't those deluded people no longer be able to provide you with thoughts..."
Zhou Qiguang, transformed by the red fox, walked leisurely on the forest path, with a proud smile on his lips and laughed: "But what's the big deal?"
"What I lost was just the thoughts of the Zhou family's parents."
"But in this world, there are countless people who can provide me with the power of my mind!"
“And if this is the case, wouldn’t everyone get what they want and be happy as a result?”
As he said that, the red fox turned to look at the white fox, his eyes flashing with excitement:
"Sister, I'm afraid you can't even imagine... how wonderful it would be to transform into such a beloved young master of the Zhou family!"
When the white fox heard this, he tilted his head and sat on the ground thoughtfully. His eyes were vague and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing this, Red Fox also sat down cross-legged, with some emotion in his tone:
"I think of our past, we always became weak women, and we could only barely connect to one thought from our husband."
"Furthermore, because I don't have children, I will be bored by them soon and lose the source of my thoughts."
"Just like in the past few years, I worked hard to finally give birth to a third tail."
Red Fox slowly raised his head, his gaze penetrated the night and looked at the bright stars in the sky:
"Now... when I truly became the young master of the Zhou family, I deeply realized that my heart can not only be attached to my partner."
"It can also connect with family, friends, teachers, classmates... and even more people, thus providing us with thoughts!"
Red Fox's eyes flashed with excitement:
"This kind of efficiency is almost ten times faster than what I had in the previous decades."
Then, he turned to look at the white fox and said with a smile:
"Sister, you might as well give it a try. Maybe you can cultivate that ninth tail as soon as possible and become a fox fairy."
In order to convince the white fox, the red fox added:
"Sister, you just need to go to the paper shops and coffin shops in the city and take a look. There will always be people who are suitable for their transformation. You only need to find a suitable identity and you can easily get their thoughts. ”
However, Bai Hu stood up on his own: "No need, sister, I haven't transformed in a long time."
After saying that, she turned around and left the place, leaving Red Fox alone there, saying "Alas" and looking at her with confusion as she trotted to the edge of the woods.
At this time, a handsome young man happened to see the white fox running towards him.
The young man smiled immediately, then knelt down and gently touched the white fox's soft head.
Red Fox witnessed this scene from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, and murmured to himself:
"Is this kid really not afraid of monsters?"
In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, he sent a message to Bai Hu again:
"Sister, who is this guy? Why is he so close to you?"
When the white fox heard this, he smiled slightly and replied via voice transmission: "His name is Afu, and he is different from the ones I met before when I transformed."
"When I told him that he had saved me in his previous life and that I came here specifically to repay my kindness, he believed it without hesitation."
"You have to know that young people at this age are the most innocent. Their hearts are pure and flawless, and they trust others easily."
Bai Hu continued, "I got more thoughts from him than anyone I've met before."
However, Red Fox was a little disapproving and said scornfully: "What naivety? I think it's just stupidity. Maybe he will secretly report it to the government and come to arrest us in the future."
When Bai Hu heard this, he firmly replied through a message: "He... won't."
Then, she said seriously:
"Brother, you should just stop transforming into a young master of the Zhou family. Although you can temporarily gain some thoughts like that, it won't last long after all."
"Besides, there is always a certain risk involved in taking human form."
"The most important thing is to find the target with the true form. I feel like my ninth tail is about to be born."
Red Fox shook his head gently, with a look of disapproval flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "But... sister, you have to admit that human lifespan is so short and as fragile as bacteria."
"If it's just Ah Fu, you might not be able to grow that ninth tail you dream of until the day he dies."
When the white fox heard this, he remained silent.
Seeing this, the red fox continued to talk:
"Besides, the great scholars in the city are now full of praise for me and say that I have the talent of being a top scholar! They think so highly of me, how can I live up to their expectations?"
"After I am named on the gold medal list and become an official in the court, I will be able to connect to thousands of thoughts!"
"The efficiency of such a day is countless times more than what you, sister, as a Fu can provide in a lifetime!"
"When the time comes, I will also be able to cultivate nine tails and keep pace with you!" Red Fox said with confidence.
However, Bai Hu's voice sounded a little cautious and worried: "But brother, do you think... being the number one scholar is really a good thing?"
"One of our seniors was once the number one scholar among flowers. Although he received a lot of favors, according to his words, those days were too difficult. It is said that he had to deal with countless customers every day..."
Seeing this, Red Fox quickly called her out, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"Sister...you...don't you really think that the number one among flowers and the ordinary number one are the same thing..."
When Bai Hu heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked puzzledly:
"Isn't it the same thing? Aren't they all the best among human beings?"
After hearing this, Red Fox couldn't help but feel a little numb.
He shook his head and sighed: "Sister, haven't you gone to school or been exposed to human knowledge for more than a thousand years?"
Bai Hu was stunned for a moment, then said "Ah":
"No one wants me to go to school, so why should I go to school? We foxes don't need to learn human knowledge."
When the red fox heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of helplessness: "Oh my God! Sister, it seems that you don't understand human beings well enough, and you don't even know such basic common sense."
After hearing this, the white fox immediately retorted: "How come I don't understand humans? I have practiced more than you for more than a thousand years, and I know everything about humans."
Red Fox sighed repeatedly:
"Sister, I think you have wasted these more than a thousand years... The number one among flowers is not a good word among humans!"
"This is about the courtesan in the brothel. No wonder your senior finds life difficult. It turns out that she is the 'number one scholar'."
The white fox was immediately stunned, a trace of confusion and confusion flashed in his eyes:
"So is there such a difference between the number one among flowers and the real number one? I thought they were the same concept, there was no difference..."
Red Fox listened to the side and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Sister, although you have been traveling around the world these years, it seems you have experienced too little."
"You are just satisfying your own selfish desires from those poor boys, thereby gaining some meager power of mind."
Speaking of this, Red Fox couldn't help but feel a bit regretful in his tone:
"It's just a pity that for so many years, I have always regarded your experience and practices as a guide and a treasure."
After hearing what Red Fox said, White Fox frowned and asked:
"Turtle pinch? Are you talking about pinching a turtle? What does this have to do with our topic?"
Just as he said this, Ah Fu gently picked up the white fox and said softly:
"Xiaobai, let's go home, it's getting late!"
When the white fox heard this, he sent a message to the red fox and said, "Brother, sister, take the first step! You have to take good care of yourself and don't expose your identity!"
After hearing what White Fox said, Red Fox waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go, go, I'm going back to prepare for the exam!"
After saying that, he softly "tsk-tsk", then turned back resolutely and strode towards the dimly lit city.
As he walked, he said to himself: "Sister, you don't understand humans at all!"
"You always taught me to do housework and serve my husband diligently every day. It seems that only in this way can I maintain my weak mind and prevent it from weakening."
"But now it seems that I only need to concentrate on studying and don't need to worry about the tedious housework at all. My mind has become more stable and even grown!"
"Moreover, the thoughts and feelings of my wife, parents, teachers, classmates, relatives and friends have not diminished because of my negligence, but have actually grown day by day!"
"In the past, sister, you always taught me to avoid foreign men, and never give or receive in private, in case someone catches me and ruins my reputation."
"So we are blocked from seeing and hearing, and we have no idea about the information in the human society outside."
"But now, when I go out, I can make friends with noble people everywhere, talk and laugh with them, and plan big things together. There is an endless stream of guests visiting my home, which is very lively!"
"In this way, there is nothing to hold on to, no criticism, and no pain to suffer. On the contrary, we can gain a deeper understanding of human beings and gain insight into their thoughts and needs!"
"Looking back now, those past days were a waste of time."
"Sister... take leave!"
…
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qiguang, who had successfully passed the examination, unexpectedly ushered in the examination.
With his unique talent as a monster, Red Fox has an amazing memory.
Although he dare not say that he has a photographic memory, he can remember everything he has seen almost once.
This ability undoubtedly provided him with great convenience in the process of preparing for the exam.
Although he had never had in-depth contact with the Four Books and Five Classics, which are regarded as Confucian classics,
But in just a few months, he relied on his own hard work and talent to understand and comprehend all these classic works.
Not only that, he also read the test papers of all previous examinations thoroughly, and was well aware of the test points and difficulties, and was confident.
And while he was preparing for the exam, his growing thoughts actually allowed him to give birth to a fourth tail. This progress far exceeded the previous decades of hard work.
Even the escort who sent him to Beijing this time provided him with a lot of thoughts invisibly.
This also makes Red Fox sometimes lament that in this era, it seems better to transform into a man.
Because as a man, he can walk in the world more freely, come into contact with more people and things, and thus absorb more power of mind.
If we really want to talk about some shortcomings after transforming into Master Zhou, there is one point.
That is, its rules are strict and cannot be exceeded.
Zhou Qiguang is a descendant of an aristocratic family and a scholar at the same time.
Every move he makes is watched closely by countless pairs of eyes.
And those cumbersome and complicated rules are like invisible shackles, restricting his behavior at all times.
Take this moment for example, Zhou Qiguang has just arrived in the capital and stepped into a bookstore.
On the dazzling bookshelf, his eyes were attracted by a strange book called "The Great Wilderness Scripture".
He carefully opened the pages and saw on the first page,
There was actually a record about the "Qingqiu Fox Clan", which immediately aroused his strong interest.
Before that, Zhou Qiguang had the honor to read some similar strange books.
However, the records of the Qingqiu Fox Clan in those books are often only a few words, briefly mentioning that they are good at illusions, and no other detailed descriptions.
Such brief records always left him feeling unsatisfied.
Just as Zhou Qiguang opened the "Great Wilderness Sutra" out of curiosity, the gentleman beside him suddenly made a move and snatched the book away from him.
Immediately afterwards, the teacher ruthlessly tore the "Great Wilderness Sutra" into several pieces, and while tearing it back, he loudly scolded Zhou Qiguang: "This has already reached the critical moment of going to Beijing to take the exam, how can you still have the heart to read it? This kind of idle book?”
""At this time, only by keeping your mind focused and working hard can you be named on the gold list and honor your ancestors! "
"Your father, Mr. Zhou, was once my senior brother, and you, Zhou Qiguang, are a scholar, that's why I give you such a heads up!"
"Otherwise, if you only know that if you finish talking, you will lose your reputation, achieve nothing, and the temporary prosperity of your Zhou family will disappear!"
After hearing this reprimand from his teacher, Zhou Qiguang immediately lowered his head: "Now that I know this, I will definitely concentrate on preparing for the exam and never let you down again."
Seeing this, the gentleman nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of relief in his tone:
"Well, the future is at your feet. How you choose is just a matter of your thoughts. I hope you can cherish this opportunity and don't let your future have regrets."
After his husband left, Zhou Qiguang sighed softly and thought to himself:
"Although there are quite a few books about our Qingqiu Fox Clan, most of them are just clichés and lack new ideas. In that case, don't read it!"
"When you are admitted to the imperial examination in the future, what kind of idle books will you not be able to read?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Qiguang raised his head and said loudly: "Seller, how much does this book cost? I will pay for it!" (End of Chapter)
