Chapter 32: Supporting the Immortals
Red Fox’s request is actually not excessive.
The forest area on the eastern outskirts of Yuncheng was originally such a feng shui treasure land full of spiritual energy—
The lush vegetation here, with flowers, stones, reeds and leaves, forms a natural spiritual energy formation that is endless and it is a good place for cultivation.
Five hundred years ago, a black fox took form here, and the vegetation was affected by thunder and lightning. The law of thunder and lightning remained on it for practitioners to understand.
Finally, if this place is not developed, it is indeed a pure place to escape calamity.
But now, it’s all gone.
After hearing what Red Fox said, Shen Qinghe thought for a moment and discussed:
"I will arrange for people to search for the same Feng Shui treasure land all over the country. If I find it, I will buy it at a big price for Senior Fox to practice, how about it?"
Hearing this, Red Fox rolled his eyes again and sneered:
“Naive! Do you think Feng Shui treasure land is so easy to find?”
“I’m afraid that before you can find it, the thunder tribulation of my transformation will come. I have no spiritual energy and no understanding of the law. I am asked to go through the thunder tribulation with my bare hands. Do you want me to die?”
“To take a step back, even if you find a treasure land, I’m afraid that place already has an owner.”
“The creatures raised in the treasure land generally develop their spiritual wisdom relatively smoothly. A powerful dragon can’t overpower a local snake. You want me to compete for territory with others?”
Shen Qinghe was scolded twice by the red fox. He had no choice but to look at Pei Anzhu for help.
Master Pei is very capable, and these two-tailed foxes are very good in her hands. There should be a solution, right?
Mrs. Shen also spoke:
“Master Pei, please help us no matter what. I know it’s tacky to talk about money, but if this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will definitely reward you heavily.”
Pei Anzhu didn't mean to take advantage of Qiao and want to raise the price, but she didn't interrupt after she asked Red Fox to communicate with Shen Qinghe.
Now that people ask her questions, she naturally wants to help solve the problem.
What’s more, talking about money is not vulgar.
Although Pei Anzhu is not short of money for the time being, who would complain about having too much money?
After all, she still has to fulfill the original owner's last wish, buy a house in a big city, and provide for the old Taoist priests in their old age. How can the money she has now be enough?
So she smiled and said:
“Actually, there is no other way.”
As soon as these words came out, the Shen family couple and the red fox looked at her in unison, with expectation in their eyes.
She didn’t show off and said directly:
“Perhaps, Mr. Shen, would you like to try to support the family immortals?”
"Providing support to the family immortals?" Shen Qinghe was stunned, "What does this mean?"
Pei Anzhu explained:
“All things have animism, and there have been many folk stories about animals repaying kindness through the ages, which in turn gave rise to the folk worship of animals, the most important of which is to make offerings to family immortals.”
“There are generally five families of family immortals, namely the fox immortal, yellow immortal, white immortal, willow immortal and gray immortal. They represent foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and mice respectively.”
“The red fox in front of you has developed spiritual wisdom, has two tails, can speak human language, and has a high level of cultivation. Apart from not being transformed, it can already meet the requirements of a family immortal.”
“If you choose to support the family immortal, I can make a contract for you both.”
After saying these words, before Shen Qinghe could express his position, Red Fox exploded first:
"Are you kidding? You want me to be their family fairy? They ruined my cave and opportunities, and I still have to protect his whole family? I won't do it!"
Shen Qinghe had also heard about supporting family immortals before.
Providing support to a family fairy is equivalent to enshrining a protective deity at home. The presence of the family fairy can protect the family's success and safety.
To be honest, he also felt that Master Pei was too whimsical.
This red fox clearly wants to collect debts from him, so how could he be willing to become the Shen family fairy?
Pei Anzhu lowered her head and looked at the fox in her arms. Its fur was soft and soft. She couldn't help but stroke it twice more and spoke again;
“Why are you so anxious? I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
"Little fox, your biggest wish now is to transform. The biggest obstacle to transformation is the fear that you will not be able to survive the thunder tribulation." "Then do you know what kind of person can best survive the thunder tribulation?"
Red Fox snorted coldly and said:
“You still need to ask? Everyone knows that those who cultivate the power of merit are the easiest to survive thunder disasters.”
"It is said that God has the virtue of good life, and practitioners should do more good deeds and accumulate more merits. When passing through the thunder tribulation, the way of heaven and the thunder tribulation will also be mindful of the merits and virtues, and open up the net!"
On the contrary, if you do too many evil deeds, the thunder disaster will be more serious.
Tiandao will not allow evildoers to become immortals or gods and control too much power, because that will be a disaster for the people of the world.
This made Pei Anzhu think of his own thunder disaster.
She is the reincarnation of a good person from the tenth life, and she is truly a body of merit. In addition, she punishes evil and promotes good, and follows cause and effect. Logically speaking, thunder calamity should not be difficult for her.
But she ended up in another world because of that thunder disaster.
What is the reason for this?
Doubts flashed through her heart, and then she was deeply suppressed in her heart. I am afraid she needs to find a way back before she can figure this out for herself.
What needs to be resolved now is the grudge between Red Fox and the Shen family.
Pei Anzhu said to Red Fox:
"Since you know that merit is the most beneficial to surviving the thunderstorm, you should not refuse. Because Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen have great merit."
It is difficult to find a good person in ten lifetimes, but good people in two or three lifetimes are common, such as the Shen family and his wife.
"When you become their family immortal, you don't just have to pay. They also have to support you." Pei Anzhu added, "They can provide you with the power of merit and the power of faith. These two things are not as good as your own. Is the Law of Thunder useful?”
"Support me with the power of merit?" Red Fox was stunned, "Huh, merit is such a precious thing, how could they be willing?"
Shen Qinghe and Mrs. Shen looked at each other and expressed their opinions quickly:
“We are willing.”
“Although we are not cultivators, and we don’t know what the power of merit refers to, doing good deeds and deeds is what my wife and I have been insisting on over the years.”
“If doing this can make up for the loss I caused to Senior Fox, then we are willing.”
The red fox wanted to agree immediately, but he endured it and said:
“You must think clearly! The power of merit waxes and wanes. If you give it to me, you will have less.”
“If I need too much to transform, your merits may be exhausted by me, and you won’t be able to have a good pregnancy in your next life!”
Hearing this, Shen Qinghe smiled:
“This life is not over yet, so why bother thinking about the next one?”
“What’s more, according to what Master Pei said, merit can be accumulated. At most, my wife and I will just do more good people and good deeds for the rest of our lives.”
Red Fox saw that Shen Qinghe sincerely agreed with this plan to support the family immortals, and was not reluctant to give up his own merits. He thought about it, nodded and said:
"If this is the case, then I am willing to become your family fairy."
After the words fell, the Shen couple breathed a sigh of relief and showed a comfortable smile.
"Now that the deal is settled, let's go back." Pei Anzhu said, "I will help you both form a contract, but you need to prepare some things in advance."
“Thank you, Master Pei.” Shen Qinghe bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Pei Anzhu hugged the fox and walked towards where the Shen family parked their car.
