Chapter 416: The Function of the Red Thread, Leaving the Mountain to Seek the Path

Under the nine-foot-tall statue of the innate nine-tailed fox, the two transformed figures appear extremely small.

After offering incense to the nine-tailed fox ancestor, Tu Shansu asked, "Hongchen, can you tell me in detail the purpose of the red thread?"

Hong Chen nodded: "Of course it's fine."

The two of them each took a cushion and sat opposite each other.

Hong Chen said: "Master Fox, you should have heard of the red string of marriage?"

Tu Shansu nodded and couldn't help but look at his wrist again.

Hong Chen pulled up his sleeves to reveal the red string wrapped around his wrist, "This red string is similar to the legendary red string of marriage. However, due to my limited strength and realm, the red string is far from being as magical as the red string of marriage."

Tu Shansu nodded first, but then shook her head: "With a body that is not immortal, you have refined something that is a heavenly calamity. There is no doubt about your ability. Since a heavenly calamity has descended, this red thread must be extraordinary."

"Master Fox, you are too kind."

Hong Chen said modestly, and then told the story slowly.

"This red thread currently has four functions. Each function can help the Tushan Fox Clan who controls the red thread to improve their magic power and realm, because it itself is a way of cultivation.

First, judging fate. As the name suggests, if two people hold one side and truly love each other, there will be a vision.

Second, cut off the fate. There are good fate and bad fate in marriage. The red thread can cut off the bad fate, but it is very costly for the person holding the thread. And if the good fate is cut off, it will backfire and even endanger one's life.

Third, finding a relationship. Helping others find their own marriage partner, but it is difficult to do this, it requires understanding the way of marriage, and requires great magical power, and the red line can only give a general direction.

Fourth, continue the relationship. "

At this point, Hong Chen suddenly stopped, and Tu Shansu asked, "What's wrong?"

Hong Chen shook his head: "In fact, I wanted to refine the red thread in the beginning just to continue the relationship, so judging the relationship, cutting the relationship and finding the relationship were all unexpected surprises. But now that the red thread has been refined, I understand that continuing the relationship is much more difficult than I thought."

Tu Shansu thought about it, looked slightly surprised, and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean by continued relationship?"

"All creatures are subject to the cycle of life and death. Drink a bowl of Mengpo soup on the Naihe Bridge and forget all the past."

Tu Shansu suddenly understood and asked in surprise, "Do you want to continue your relationship in another life?"

"Yes. Only by continuing the relationship across generations can Tushan remain invincible and become a holy place in the hearts of countless people with love and affection. Helping others is helping yourself. This is the only way to offset the debt of luck. At the same time, it also allows humans and other races to accept and even respect the Tushan Fox Clan."

"What a great vision..." Tu Shansu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a while, "If you succeed, no one in the world will dare to offend my Tushan Fox Clan anymore."

Hong Chen smiled and raised his wrist. "Unfortunately, the method of renewing the relationship is too difficult. If you want to break through the obstacles brought by reincarnation, you can't do it with just the red thread. So currently, only the first three functions can be used."

Although Tushan Su was disappointed, she encouraged him positively: "Even if we can't continue the relationship, just judging, cutting and searching for relationships are already amazing. Love is the most beautiful and the most vicious thing in the world. If we have the help of the red thread, the Tushan Fox Clan will surely rise."

Hong Chen then said, "But such a rise will also bring great dangers. Judging the fate will definitely offend people, and the same is true for cutting off the fate. Finding the fate itself is difficult to do. Although continuing the fate will also attract people's covetousness, as long as it succeeds, others will not dare to offend easily. In the long run, the hidden dangers will disappear. Therefore, I do not recommend the first three methods as the main ones, and I do not recommend telling them now."

Tu Shansu was very smart and quickly understood his thoughts.

"This... no wonder you just said that it was just a good start. Then, how long will it take to continue the relationship?"

"I don't know. But I am going to leave Tushan and go to the human world. The love, hate and hatred in the human world will help me understand the way of marriage. I heard that some people's love is predestined in their previous lives. Even if they reincarnate again and again, they will always be together. This must include a method that can help other people continue their love."

"Are you leaving Tushan?" Tushan Su was shocked again.

Hong Chen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Fox Lord. With my current strength, as long as I don't expose myself, there are only a few people who can see my true identity."

"But there are many powerful people in the world, and even real gods. If you meet them..."

"Even if I encounter a god, I have the ability to protect myself. Fox Lord, don't forget that I came out of the divine stone."

After hearing this, Tu Shansu finally stopped trying to persuade her.

"Well, you are not an ordinary fox, and I cannot stop you from going according to Tushan's rules. When will you set out?"

"Just tomorrow."

"Then come to the Nine-Tailed Temple tomorrow and I'll take you there."

"Okay." Hong Chen stood up and walked away. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around, taking off the bronze ring: "I almost forgot, I'll give this back to the Fox Lord."

Tu Shansu took it, touched it to another ring on her hand, and handed it back.

"I took away my magic weapon and put some spirit stones and other magic weapons in it. Just consider it as a thank you gift from the Tushan Fox Clan to you in advance."

"This……"

"Take it, it's all you deserve. I'm just afraid I haven't given you enough."

"Not less, not less. I'll take it. Thank you, Master Fox!"

"You are Welcome."

Back in the yard, Hong Chen looked at the bronze ring again and couldn't help but be amazed.

Thousands of bottles of pills remained untouched, and spirit stones were piled up into mountains, numbering in the millions.

Nearly a hundred magic weapons are arranged neatly, each with different shapes and functions, and are very complete.

At this moment, Hong Chen suddenly had no complaints about the identity of the Nine-tailed Fox, and he finally understood the meaning of the four words "prominent family background".

The Tushan Fox Clan sealed themselves off from the outside world during their heyday, and the amount of spiritual stones and magic weapons they accumulated was incalculable. The Tushan Fox Clan did not really never go out, after all, there were some things that Tushan did not have but only existed in the human world, and at this time, powerful and prestigious Fox Clan elders were needed to go out and purchase them.

Generation after generation, things were moved back home from the outside world, and the accumulation since the Shang Dynasty was calculated. Moreover, Tushan had never been harassed by war, so there was almost no consumption.

I can’t imagine how rich the Tushan Fox Clan’s treasure house is.

Millions of spirit stones and hundreds of magic weapons are probably just a drop in the bucket.

At this time, Tushan Xiaoxiao came in with a tea tray and said with a smile: "Master, please have some tea."

Hong Chen came back to her senses, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "Your life as a maid will end tomorrow, are you happy?"

"Ah? Really?" Tushan Xiaoxiao was even happier.

"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Leave? You want to leave Tushan?"

"Yes."

Tushan Xiaoxiao blinked and immediately asked: "Can I..."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Chen said, "No."

Tushan Xiaoxiao suddenly collapsed.

"You are too weak. If you go out casually, you will be discovered. Then a large group of people will chase you, shouting to exorcise demons. Unless you die, they will not let you go."

Tushan Xiaoxiao immediately changed her mind: "Then I'd better not go out. Tushan is very good. I haven't even finished walking through Tushan."

"You are a teachable kid." Hong Chen nodded, took out some elixirs and spirit stones from the bronze ring to help him practice, and also picked out a bead magic weapon and placed them on the table. "You have followed me for so many days, so you should take these things. When you become stronger in the future, I will take you out to play."

Tu Shan Xiao Xiao naturally refused. After Hong Chen persuaded her several times, she finally accepted it and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master. I will work hard to cultivate and repay you in the future!"

Hong Chen laughed: "Okay, I'll wait. You go back!"

After Tushan Xiaoxiao left, he called Laolang again and gave him some elixirs, spirit stones and magic weapons, saying, "I am going to the human world. If you mix with the human race, you won't be able to transform. You'd better practice hard. When you can transform to cover up your demonic aura, it won't be too late to come with me."

Old Wolf naturally agreed.

After closing the door, Hong Chen sat cross-legged in meditation.

The ball of golden merit floated in his sea of ​​consciousness, and its unique aura kept his mind clear at all times, even increasing the speed of mana circulation and spiritual energy absorption when he was practicing.

But the effects of merit are obviously more than that, but he has no way to explore it at the moment.

Under the illumination of the immortal light, Hong Chen's comprehension of the Tao was greatly improved, and he was almost only one step away from the final stage of achieving the Tao and overcoming the tribulation.

The improvement of his Taoism also allowed Hong Chen to naturally comprehend the second half of the "Swordsmanship" that had been difficult to understand before.

The first half of "Swordsmanship" records the external alchemy flying sword technique, while the second half records the internal alchemy sword technique.

Inner alchemy, the human body is regarded as a small world, following the principle of the unity of man and nature and the correspondence between heaven and man. The body is used as the cauldron, and the essence, energy and spirit are used as medicine, through which the energy is refined into elixir.

The saying “Once I swallow a golden pill, I realize that my destiny is not in the hands of God” refers to the art of inner alchemy.

In the way of the sword immortal, inner elixir obviously has a new meaning.

The second half of "Swordsmanship" is extremely mysterious and obscure. Even if one can occasionally decipher it with the help of immortal light, one still needs to work hard on one's own to fully understand it.

Hong Chen calmed his mind and concentrated on his comprehension, and the night passed quietly.

The next morning, Hong Chen first returned the borrowed books to the Fox Clan's library, then turned and went to the Nine-Tailed Temple.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Tu Shansu, there were a bunch of elders who came to see him off.

Surrounded by the elders, Tu Shansu first handed a piece of animal skin to Hong Chen with great care.

"This is a treasure map of the human world. The things hidden in it have long been known to us. You are going to the human world. If you have time, you may explore it. But remember that life is important and you must not be reckless."

Hong Chen took it and said, "I remember it!"

Then, he held in his hand an exquisite white jade pendant carved into the shape of a nine-tailed fox.

"If you encounter danger outside, you can inject your magic power into the jade pendant or simply break it. Then we will be able to sense it in Tushan Realm and rush to rescue you in time."

Hong Chen bowed his head: "Thank you, Lord Fox and all the elders, for your kindness! I will definitely find a way to help the Tushan Fox Clan resolve this difficulty!"

Immediately, Tu Shansu stood under the statue of the innate nine-tailed fox and cast a spell. The innate nine-tailed fox suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a magical mirror that was shining with fairy light.

Hong Chen stepped into the mirror and his eyes suddenly blurred.

After his vision was restored, he had arrived in an unknown forest.

Looking back, there was no trace of the magic mirror, which shows how secretive Tushan is.

He looked around, chose a direction at random, and started walking.

Soon, Hong Chen was on the official road, and a city suddenly appeared in front of him.

According to passers-by, this place is Yuzhou City.
