Chapter 996: Monster Hunt (34)
Chapter 996: Monster Hunt (34)
The old Taoist priest was already somewhat confused, but he still remembered to stick to his point of view.
"Master Xuan Yi's words make sense, but a human and a demon falling in love, this... how can this be possible?"
Xuan Yi asked in return: "Why not?"
The old Taoist priest argued, "The love between a human and a demon is against the will of heaven."
Xuan Yi continued to ask: "What is the way of heaven?"
The old Taoist priest was speechless.
Xuan Yi looked like a master, "Heaven means the way of benevolence. Although I practice the way of ruthlessness, I always keep the word benevolence in my heart."
The old Taoist nodded slightly and said, "I am grateful for your guidance, Master Xuanyi."
Xuan Yi waved his hand, "Master Li, there's no need to be so polite."
The old Taoist priest raised his whisk and said, "One more thing. Master Xuanyi, do you know where those people who were kidnapped by the fox demon are?"
Xuan Yi looked at Yue Rong, who reluctantly pointed to the north of the fox cave and said, "It's all inside."
The old Taoist priest hurriedly walked in the direction Yuerong pointed.
After the old Taoist priest left her sight, Yue Rong helped the unconscious Gu Jin up and bowed to Xuan Yi, saying, "Thank you, Master Xuan Yi, for your help."
Xuan Yi nodded in response.
He didn't want to save Yuerong, he was just afraid that if Yuerong died, no one would want Gu Jin. What if Gu Jin fell in love with Yunshen...
When the old Taoist priest and a group of "pig heads" with bruised faces and noses came out, Yue Rong had already helped Gu Jin to heal his wounds.
The old Taoist priest walked towards Xuan Yi and said, "Master Xuan Yi, forgive me for being blunt, but why do you have the aura of a cat demon?"
Xuan Yi gathered his sleeves and said, "I caught a cat demon earlier, but because it was kind, I didn't kill it. I want to take it back to the temple to practice."
The old Taoist frowned, "Master Xuanyi, this is inappropriate."
Xuan Yi asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
The old Taoist priest looked very serious, "How can we, the Taoists, practice together with demons?"
Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Master Li, there is no difference between humans and monsters. Humans are divided into good and bad, and monsters are also divided into good and bad. There should be no discrimination in the path of cultivation."
The old Taoist priest disagreed, "How can we, the demon catchers, get involved with demons? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Xuan Yi retorted with a guilty conscience: "Master Li, please be careful with your words. How can cultivation be compared with fooling around?"
The old Taoist knew he had spoken out of turn and said nothing more. Little did he know that his unintentional words hit the nail on the head for Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi left the fox cave, and the old Taoist priest took the hostages back to Ningyuan County.
After leaving Ningyuan County, Xuan Yi originally wanted to take Yun Shen back to Qingxin Temple, but was forced to change the route just as he set out.
Something happened in Ning'an County, the neighboring county of Ningyuan County. When the magistrate of Ning'an County heard that Xuan Yi had come to Ningyuan County, he asked Magistrate Li to convey a message to Xuan Yi, inviting him to go to Ning'an County.
Xuan Yi took Yun Shen to Ning'an County.
Magistrate Wang of Ning'an County was even more enthusiastic than Magistrate Li of Ningyuan County. As soon as Yun Shen and Xuan Yi arrived in Ning'an County, Magistrate Wang sent a team of people to greet them, and the scene was comparable to that of a top scholar's parade through the streets.
Xuan Yi was invited into the sedan chair. Yun Shen crawled out from Xuan Yi's sleeve, turned into a human form, and sat on Xuan Yi's legs.
The four people outside the sedan chair felt that the sedan chair suddenly became twice as heavy, while Xuan Yi, the person in the sedan chair, felt as if he was floating.
Xuan Yi subconsciously raised his hand to hold Yun Shen's waist, "Why... did you come out?"
Yun Shen naturally put his arm around Xuan Yi's neck, "It's stuffy in my sleeves, I came out to get some fresh air."
Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't want to stay in my sleeve, then hide your evil spirit and stay by my side."
