This fox fairy is too inhuman

Chapter 58

The once prosperous Taoist temple has now been turned into a piece of wasteland... destroyed in the hands of its owner.

In the past hundred years of continuous repairs, the years have been engraved on every inch of bricks and tiles.

The green moss on the green bricks, the repeatedly added paint, the cauldron completely stained with incense ash...

That was the time that Ren Yidao missed the most.

Reincarnated as a demon with no relatives, it is impossible to say that Ren Yidao is not at all uneasy.

He accepted his identity as a fox demon.

Passive.

At the very beginning, Ren Yidao just wanted to survive.

He can only fight and kill the beasts in the mountains, and live like a hair and drink blood.

He hid in the mountains, evading hunters and staying away from human-inhabited areas.

As those days passed year by year, he gradually became stronger, and he who knew how to cast spells would no longer be frightened by ordinary beasts.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

Until one day, when Ren Yidao saw a withered skeleton that died tragically in the mountains because he got lost, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It was the first time in his two lives that he witnessed a human corpse, but he didn't have any emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Sympathy, sadness, regret... none of these.

Not only that, he even wanted to go up and take a bite!

!!!

Me, is it me?

The moment Ren Yidao realized that his thinking was very wrong, he only felt cold and creepy.

He no longer thinks like a human, but lives like a beast.

At that time, he was just a beast.

Ren Yidao understood that if he continued like this, he would gradually lose his humanity and completely turn into a fox demon.

He doesn't want to lose himself.

So, from that day on, he began to have constant contact with humans.

The first time I met the woodcutter, the first time I approached the hunter, the first time I helped a lost child...

Whether they are kind or vigilant, no matter how they treat themselves, Ren Yidao can get a sense of reality from them.

I am still a human being, not a fox.

He gained enough strength to maintain his humanity from that group of not-so-intelligent mortals.

Later, he received an unexpected surprise.

Mortals remembered him and passed on his deeds by word of mouth.

The hunters stopped raising their bows and crossbows after seeing him, the woodcutter would not run away in a panic, and even the young children no longer feared him.

They self-servingly gave Ren Yidao a new name - "Fox Fairy".

This fairy fox temple was built for him and he was enshrined in it.

This is Ren Yidao's first home.

This is where he no longer has to worry about humanity.

"call……"

Ren Yidao looked at the ruins and let out a long breath.

"After going round and round, did you end up back here?"

Slowly walking through the uncollapsed gate, Ren Yidao stepped on the ruins of Xianhu Temple.

He felt it quietly, looking for the breath that had been guiding him forward.

"……Um?"

But just as he was concentrating, he noticed two weak auras approaching.

It wasn't Beigan's imperial guards. After finishing the Shinto sect, they had returned to Tiancheng with Shi Anqi.

Walking towards the Fairy Fox Temple is a pair of grandparents and grandchildren dressed in sackcloth.

Ren Yidao didn't speak, but stood quietly by the wall, as if he was nostalgic for the past and the literati who regretted the present.

The old man took a look at Ren Yidao, and after finding out that the boy's clothes were not bad, he didn't approach him, but walked to the other side with his little grandson.

"Here, you clamored to come and see it. Are you satisfied now?"

The children's world is not so particular, and they let go of their hands and ran into the ruins, looking left and right.

Picking up a broken tile with a white fox painted on it from the pile of stones, he excitedly held it up to show off to his grandpa.

"Grandpa, look! It's a white dog!"

Ren Yidao:?

boy, what do you mean?
Although foxes are indeed members of the canine family, don’t talk nonsense!
Ren Yidao at the side didn't expect that he would be affected so soon, and was thinking about whether to give this kid a complete childhood, when his grandfather spoke up.

"Nonsense! Put it down!"

The old man's expression changed, he snatched the tile from the child's hand and placed it carefully on the ground.

He took his grandson and knelt down together, kowtowed to the Taoist temple, and said loudly:

"Lord Fox Fairy, forgive me! The child is ignorant and it's because of my lax teaching. Please don't blame him. If you are punished, please direct it at me alone!"

The child was taken aback by Grandpa's actions, so he started to cry and kowtow together as he held his head down.

Ren Yidao: "..."

He wanted to say something to the old man:
You don't have to have such a big reaction... Make me look like some kind of evil spirit.

Don't spoil my reputation!
I Ren Yidao has cultivated merits and virtues, how could I be angry with a child?
After kneeling for a while, the old man breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that nothing happened, and pulled his grandson to stand up together.

"Thank you, Lord Fox Immortal!"

Half-year-old children always forget about eating and not playing. After a while, the child forgot about the unhappiness just now.

He first pulled his grandfather's sleeve to wipe his nose, and then asked:
"Grandpa, what exactly is this place?"

The old man was also a little helpless, but he still explained:
"Here, it is the Fairy Fox Temple that enshrines Lord Ruishou Fox Fairy."

Blinking his big smart eyes, he asked curiously:
"Is Lord Fox Fairy real?"

"What nonsense are you kidding, of course it is true. In the past, the Fairy Fox Temple was very effective."

After rubbing the child's hair lovingly, the old man took his hand and walked away along the way, saying:

"Grandpa's grandfather once said that there was a severe drought one year and the lakes outside the city dried up. This is where they asked Lord Fox Fairy for help."

The child tilted his head ignorantly, and asked:

"Did Lord Fox Immortal take action?"

The old man smiled triumphantly,
"Of course, but Mr. Fox Fairy was just a little god at that time, without much mana. He prayed for rain on the top of the mountain for three whole days."

"By the time my grandfather and the others found him, Master Fox Fairy was already dying. It took him half a month to recover."

The moment the three people passed each other, the bouncing child seemed to feel something and showed a pure smile to Ren Yidao.

Meet each other and not know each other.

"Then why did Master Hu Immortal's house collapse? Is he not here?"

"Now that he is gone, He must have left secretly because he was afraid that we would be sad."

"Oh...then will He come back in the future?"

"Maybe, but no matter what, we have to rebuild the Taoist temple! We can't wait for Master Hu Immortal to come back and find that the Taoist temple is gone. How disappointed he should be."

Watching the two figures go away, Ren Yidao remained silent.

He didn't come back to his senses until the moonlight came and the bright moon was in the sky.

Ren Yidao realized something.

It wasn't the treasure that attracted him.

But one that belongs to him alone.

A pure faith that has been enshrined for hundreds of years.
