About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet
Chapter 62 Fox Demon
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Yang Yuyao left the inn and started wandering around the town. Although he had been wearing a mirage to disguise his true appearance, he did not want to be disturbed and used the technique he had just learned from He Qianqing to eliminate the sense of existence. In this way, even if he is very close to others, they will not be noticed.
Yutai Town is very small, and almost only mortals live here. None of the shops on the street were run by monks, so Yang Yuyao gave up his plan to supplement some materials and looked for a place that sold fodder. At this moment, He Qianqing sent a message back to him. He Qianqing asked him to take a closer look at these people in Yutai Town. Yang Yuyao did not need to take the initiative to talk to them, as long as he told him their special reactions.
"Master, are you trying to verify the innkeeper's words?" Yang Yuyao guessed, and after replying "Okay," Yang Yuyao paid more attention to the expressions of these people. As long as those people can't see him, Yang Yuyao won't feel any pressure to look at other people's faces.
The fact that Xuanzhenzong asked the officials in charge of the town to start looking for the families of the victims was probably known to most people in the town. Some of their faces were sad, some were anxious, and Yang Yuyao noticed that most of the people he saw in the town were women and children, as well as some old people. There are very few young and strong men.
"Hey, how pitiful, the eldest sister of the Li family's man is also in that painting."
"My husband is not here, but he hasn't come back for so long. I don't know if that's the case..."
"Auntie, when will daddy come back? Will he bring me candy?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, and he will be back." These people whispered, entangled between hope and despair. Yang Yuyao turned a corner and was almost at the entrance of the town, but he finally found a place selling fodder. Yang Yuyao removed his spell and walked towards the shop.
The person selling fodder was a woman who looked young, in her early twenties, wearing a blue cloth jacket, holding a two or three-year-old baby in her arms, sitting on a wooden stool, also with a sad look on her face. Seeing Yang Yuyao coming over, she stood up and forced a smile.
But soon, as a man carrying a package came towards here, the woman's face showed genuine joy. She even left Yang Yuyao as a guest, ran straight towards the man, and then threw herself into the man. in his arms.
"Hey, Ruru, what's going on?" the man asked with a look of surprise and confusion. "Why did you leave all the guests behind?"
"Zhuzi, I thought... Zhuzi you..." The woman clenched her fists and beat the man's chest, crying and laughing. And their children were hugging the man's legs tightly.
The man picked up the child, took the woman back to the shop, put down the package, asked Yang Yuyao what he wanted, weighed the fodder, and talked with his wife.
"The company where I was working had some problems with the supplier of materials, which delayed the construction period, so I was almost the last group of people to come back." The man said to his wife, who also climbed Panhu Mountain. Those who went to work only came back late due to various reasons. Three days ago, Yang Yuyao and the others were still driving down the mountain when they returned on the road. Therefore, they were lucky enough to escape the bandits and return to their families.
After the man finished speaking, the woman told about the situation of other people in the town. When she learned that she had gone out to make money with him, but those who had returned home before him had not come back yet, the man fell silent.
Yang Yuyao did not interrupt or ask questions during the whole process. Instead, after they finished chatting, he asked for their consent and recorded the conversation between the heavily accented couple and sent it directly to He Qianqing. Of course, if they disagreed, Yang Yuyao would The recording will be deleted and only part of the key content will be sent in text form. After paying the money and putting away the rations from Red Comet, Yang Yuyao decided to go to the town entrance to have a look.
Just like when entering Yutai Town, there were still people standing on both sides, looking eagerly. Now Yang Yuyao knew that they were waiting for their family members to return home. Due to poor communication, mortals basically had to rely on letters to convey information. Most of these people could not read a single Chinese character, so they did not know when their relatives would return home and set out on the road, and could only rely on past experience to judge. It would be better if Shang Ruo left as late as the man named Zhuzhu, but if he left early but no one came back, he was probably in serious trouble.
"As expected, they are left-behind women and children." Yang Yuyao once again confirmed this idea. In his original world, he would often see in the news how difficult it was for those left-behind people and how pitiful those children were. But after all, their world has mobile phones and the Internet, so they can be contacted almost at any time, and people who go out do not have such a high mortality rate.
"The cost is still a big problem..." Out of pity, Yang Yuyao began to think. It's like he thought about how to improve lighting for ordinary people but found that the cost of any method seemed to be beyond what an ordinary person could afford. Although he can draw a combination of runes with water to illuminate, this method cannot be replicated by mortals, and it is not easy even for monks.
Even if he draws a large number of illuminated runes and sells them at a very low price, the inability to replenish the consumed spiritual power can only turn these runes into disposable products. Besides, doing this is absolutely thankless. The true value of spiritual power is immeasurable. It's okay to give it away once in a while, but it's not worth spending a lot of money on it. To really solve the problems of mortals, we have to do it in a mortal way.
It's just that in this world, perhaps because of the spiritual energy and monks, it is clear that human beings have a longer history than his original world, but the development of productivity is so slow. Thinking about his original world, it took humans thousands of years to go from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, then to the Steam Age, and another hundred years to enter the Electric Age to the Information Age they were in. Productivity grew like an explosion, and it was getting faster and faster. But this world, if we only look at mortals, can probably be compared to the Iron Age. Yang Yuyao has never studied sociology. He doesn't know whether this result is caused by the fact that even if they cannot use spiritual power, these mortals are accustomed to relying on spiritual power and do not want to make progress. If that's the case, if these people don't feel they need to accept change... then why should they bother to think about it?
"Xiao Yao, you did a good job." A message from He Qianqing suddenly popped up in Xunlian. It seems that he and the monks of Xuanzhen Sect are still continuing to investigate the matter of bandits and ghost weapons. In a flash, Yang Yuyao walked out of the town.
Yang Yuyao, who remembered that he had promised He Qianqing not to leave the town, immediately turned back, and then his eyes fell not far away. A ball of red was dazzling in the snow. Although it was a little far away, Yang Yuyao still Based on his memory of seeing the animal world, he determined that the red mass belonged to a red fox.
"Fox? Or fox demon?" Yang Yuyao walked over. The animal didn't look like it wanted to escape at all, but it wasn't dead yet. Yang Yuyao could still see its body rising and falling weakly, as if it was suffering from pain. Seriously injured. Yang Yuyao felt it carefully and didn't feel a trace of evil spirit. This seemed to be an ordinary fox. Yang Yuyao hesitantly stretched out his finger and poked it gently. The red fox's body shrank back where it was poked and made no further movements. Yang Yuyao put his whole palm on it, and it felt great. The furry body exuded a temperature higher than the human body, and it felt very comfortable to the touch.
Yang Yuyao took out a healing charm and treated its wound. Then he used the cleaning technique to clean it and then picked it up. The fox did not struggle or wake up. It felt warm when he picked it up, which had a hand-warming effect. very nice. Yang Yuyao decided to use it as a hand warmer. If it gets better, let it go. If unfortunately it doesn't, I heard that the fox skin is quite valuable.
Even if Yang Yuyao hugged a fox, it did not eliminate his sense of existence. The residents of this small town are still not surprised. Even if Yang Yuyao has been walking on the ground like them, the completely different feelings between monks and mortals can be seen by anyone with a little experience. In addition, most monks like to raise strange spiritual beasts, so it is normal to hold a fox.
Compared with these mortals, as a monk, Yang Yuyao's thinking was not that of a monk. He felt that foxes were relatively rare pets, so when he walked, even if others did not look at him strangely, he still deliberately chose a place to avoid other people's sight. After hiding in a deserted corner, he allowed himself again, even The fox disappeared from existence, jumped up, escaped from the light, and then returned directly to his room in the inn through the unlocked window.
Yang Yuyao locked the window and called the waiter to bring him a brazier. His hands holding the fox were warm. No wonder those girls in the original world liked to hold a hand warmer in winter. It was indeed very comfortable. Monks are more tolerant to cold and heat than ordinary people, but that doesn't mean they can't feel hot and cold, and unless they have a special constitution, they won't feel comfortable.
The texture of fox fur is not generally good. No wonder fur coats are so popular. Even in this world, fox fur and mink are the most popular winter must-have items. Yang Yuyao even felt a little tired as he hugged the fox. Such a warm feeling really makes people want to have a good sleep.
"But this fox isn't really dying, is it? It's been so long since he woke up?" Yang Yuyao was a little confused and wanted to turn the fox over and check again whether the wound was really healed. At this moment, the fox woke up, turned around, and glared at Yang Yuyao. Then, a pretty woman suddenly appeared in front of Yang Yuyao, her charming eyes like silk. , can draw out the soul of a man. Yang Yuyao, who didn't like to be in close contact with others, was frightened. He retracted his hands, causing such a graceful beauty to fall to the ground with a slap. Only then did Yang Yuyao realize that it was the fox, and his face turned red after realizing that he couldn't feel the demonic energy on it, but it was a demon that could already transform.
"Oh, how can this young master be so cruel? It hurts me so much when he falls!" The fox turned into a beautiful woman complained tenderly, but Yang Yuyao unceremoniously picked it up with his spiritual power and took it to the place. Went in the direction of the door.
"Since you're awake, you can leave. Why don't you see me off." Yang Yuyao opened the door and threw the fox demon out. After closing the door for a while, he realized that there was a familiar face standing outside the door. Then quickly opened the door again. Before he opened the door, the fox demon who was thrown out of the door could not stand for a moment and knelt on the ground. He raised his head and met He Qianqing's appraising eyes.
"What a handsome man!" The fox demon blushed and her heartbeat quickened. She had never seen such a handsome man before. She was distracted by the sight of him, but then she felt great fear. She recognized that he was a man. She is a monk, and she is extremely powerful. He can destroy her with just a raise of his hand! Although the human monks are quite friendly to their demon race, this one does not seem to be so. The fox demon trembled and leaned toward the door, wanting to return to Yang Yuyao's side, even though she didn't know why she had such an idea. At this time, Yang Yuyao happened to open the door again, so the fox demon leaned back and leaned on Yang Yuyao's legs. Yang Yuyao was frightened again and jumped back. The fox demon lost its support and fell on its back and was knocked down again.
"Xiao Yao, please explain." He Qianqing looked coldly at the woman in scantily clad clothes, with most of the northern hemisphere exposed, and said.
"I..." The fox demon spoke tremblingly, wanting to defend herself, but He Qianqing's eyes swept her away and she closed her mouth sadly.
"This is a fox demon," Yang Yuyao said straight to the point. "For some reason I couldn't feel her demonic aura. When I saw her, she was in her prototype state and was injured. I thought she was an ordinary fox. I just wanted to pick it up to warm my hands, and then she suddenly transformed."
"Young Master, no one will believe your explanation! Even if you are telling the truth. The powerful ones are very confident and will not accept such things that go against their knowledge!" The fox demon shouted in his heart. , but she didn't dare to make a sound at all, or even raise her face. She was worried that if she made any unnecessary movement, she would be skinned and peeled by the handsome and extraordinary monk. "But what is the relationship between these two people?" the fox demon guessed quietly.
"Fox demon?" He Qianqing frowned slightly and looked down at the young woman. Indeed, even he could not detect the slightest hint of demon in the woman, as if she was really just an ordinary woman with a beautiful appearance. But after further investigation, some clues emerged. "This fox demon is not very strong. He must have just transformed. Yet he can hide his demonic energy so well. It's really strange." He Qianqing thought to himself in surprise and said at the same time, "How did you hide your demonic aura?" ? Be honest and don’t force me to search for souls.”
"I actually believe this explanation," the fox demon thought to himself in astonishment. At the same time, he did not dare to delay and quickly replied, "The reason why I can do this is related to an opportunity I had. I once offended someone unintentionally. I met a demon who, although I immediately apologized to her, was not forgiven. Instead, I kept chasing me and wanted to kill me. During a serious injury, I accidentally fell into a small secret place and fell into a daze. This happened after I swallowed a pill. I don’t know what kind of pill it was, and why I could hide the evil spirit in my body so perfectly. If the two immortal masters don’t believe it, I am willing to take two immortals with me. Master, go to that little secret place to check."
After the fox demon finished speaking, she turned around to face Yang Yuyao, and suddenly she kowtowed to Yang Yuyao with all her strength. She knelt so hard that the ground made a thumping sound, and her forehead soon kowtowed. There was a pool of blood.
"Thank you to the immortal master for saving my life. I dare to ask the immortal master to continue to protect me and let me escape from this place. I am willing to become a slave and serve the immortal master!" The fox demon kept kowtowing, as if he was extremely scared. As soon as you stop, you will be rejected.
"I wanted you to go but you came to beg me instead, and even if you wanted to hug me, you found the wrong person..." Yang Yuyao murmured in his heart, wondering why the fox demon chose to beg him instead of He Qianqing. , even if he closed his eyes, he knew that He Qianqing was stronger.
"Who are you hiding from? The demon clan you have offended?" Yang Yuyao asked. When the fox demon was telling the story, he caught the key word demon that appeared frequently recently.
"It's her, the immortal master is wise!" The fox demon raised his face slightly and looked at Yang Yuyao with tearful eyes, and then lowered his head. She knew that the handsome and tall monk was more powerful. If she were a slave, according to her past preferences, she would be more willing to serve the handsome monk. However, for some reason this time, her intuition made her feel that it would be better to choose this ordinary-looking young monk.
"How did you offend her? She was the cause of this injury?" Yang Yuyao asked. Since this demon mentioned the demon clan, he had to get as much information as possible. He Qianqing also had the same plan, so he indulged Yang Yuyao and asked. "Do you want to kowtow again?"
"Exactly, it was her fault that I was seriously injured this time. I tried my best to escape here." The fox demon finally stopped kowtowing, but the floor was already stained red with her blood. "The reason why I offended her was because I accidentally bumped into her true appearance. That day, I just went to the river to wash up as usual, and happened to see a tightly wrapped figure coming to the river. , happened to take off the wrapped face towel. I immediately felt that this person was in danger and wanted to retreat, but I was discovered by him, and he attacked me mercilessly. Fortunately, I was good at escaping, so I was able to get away with it. Escape. It was because I was almost killed by him that I realized that she was actually a demon."
"You mean, that demon wrapped his whole body tightly?" It was He Qianqing who asked this time, "Do you dare to swear an oath of heaven to prove that everything you said is true?"
"I am willing to swear an oath of heaven to prove what I said." The fox demon said immediately, his eyes full of expectation.
"Okay." He Qianqing waved his sleeves, wrapped the two of them with spiritual power, and brought Yang Yuyao and the fox demon to an open space on the outskirts of Yutai Town. "You swear here." He Qianqing looked at the fox demon and ordered.
