"Master, it's a little strange.”
The young girl first nodded, then shook her head.
"But even if things are a little strange, what's the point? It was just a group of demons learning the knowledge of mortals. It was not a big deal.”
Upon hearing this, the crippled Daoist reprimanded him with a straight face.
"You little girl, you're really too spoiled. It's fine if you're unwilling to walk like a mortal, but now you don't even care about the knowledge of a mortal. Did she really think that she was extraordinary after being called fairy by the outer sect's errand boys?”
He rarely said such harsh words. The girl was shocked, but she felt more wronged. Her eyes immediately filled with tears.
Seeing this, the crippled Daoist shook his head and sighed.
All these years, he had pampered this girl too much. He had even neglected to discipline her, causing her to have some arrogance that she should not have.
Therefore, he suppressed the pity in his heart and continued to speak with a straight face.
"Ning 'er, you have to remember that when you were young, you were just an ordinary mortal. Although you entered the sect and gained cultivation, you shouldn't forget your roots…Forgetting your roots will cause you to lose your mind, and it will be very difficult for your future cultivation path. I can't see any disadvantages now, but after a hundred years, a few hundred years, you…"
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and his heart suddenly ached.
A few hundred years…
A few hundred years?
At this thought, the thought of continuing to teach him a lesson dissipated once again, and his voice softened.
"Forget it, master won't say anything more…It's just that you can't underestimate the knowledge of mortals. Regardless of whether you're an immortal or a mortal, the principles of the world are always the same. This 'Thousand Character Classic' is especially extraordinary.”
The girl's long eyelashes were still wet with tears. Perhaps she had sensed the pain that the lame Taoist had shown earlier, but she obediently didn't mention what had happened before and asked curiously.
"How is it unusual? In my opinion, it's just a general principle.”
The crippled Daoist sighed.
"Yes, it's just an ordinary logic. However, to be able to combine information about astronomy, geography, history, ethics, society, and so on into a mere thousand words, and to be able to rhyme every word so well, it's not something that an ordinary person can do.”
"Master has traveled the world and read countless scholars 'articles, but in the past hundred years, there has been no one better.”
"Although it's just an enlightening article, it can be said to be a heroic article that will last through the ages. If it can be spread, it will definitely benefit the world!”
Daoist Cripple was a knowledgeable person, and he knew very well the importance of the Thousand Character Classic to enlightenment.
Although the young girl didn't understand it, she still nodded to show her approval.
"If this essay was circulated in some aristocratic family, I wouldn't care so much. But it's actually from the hands of a group of little demons, that's too strange!”
The crippled Daoist could not hide his curiosity.
The girl pursed her lips and recalled her master's surprised expression when she heard the group of little demons recite the article in an orderly manner.
"That's why I'm not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, I want to figure out this matter.”
the crippled Daoist said.
"But what's so difficult about this matter? It was obvious that there was someone behind the little gremlins. Someone must be deliberately teaching them.”
The young girl asked in puzzlement. How could her master not know about something that she could see at a glance?
"There are people, but it depends on who they are.”
A solemn look flashed across the crippled Daoist's eyes.
"At first, I thought that this group of little demons was just lucky and had obtained a famous poem from somewhere. Later, after following that little white fox, I found out that what they learned was brought from Little Ning County by the fox generation.”
"Master, do you mean that there are cultivators in Xiao Ning County?”
" Yes, and they aren't ordinary cultivators. According to my observations, the writings brought by the fox generation from Xiao Ning County all contain Dao Qi, which has benefited these little demons greatly. The demonic Qi has weakened by 30% in the past few days.”
"Why did that cultivator teach these demons?”
"Hehe…This is what I'm puzzled about. Even if cultivators raise demons, they are only guardians, mounts, and spiritual beasts. However, this person is actually teaching these demons as if he is teaching his disciples.”
The girl looked at the crippled Daoist's serious expression and suddenly understood.
"Master is worried that this person's background is not right, so he carefully inquired!”
The crippled Daoist smiled and said.
"My Danxia Mountain is located in the east. Although Little Ning County is remote, it is not far from Danxia Mountain. There is actually such a strange and extraordinary Dao friend at the door of my house. How can I not get to the bottom of it?”
The girl nodded.
"The person who caused the spiritual energy storm a few days ago was probably this person.”
The crippled Daoist recalled for a moment, and his expression became even more solemn.
"That's probably the case…This fellow daoist's behavior is strange. He's involved with the demon race, and he's living in a mortal city. It really makes me feel uneasy. If it wasn't for the Dao Qi in his article, I would have suspected that he's a demon with an ulterior motive.”
After hearing what he said, the girl realized the seriousness of the matter.
The article had "Dao Qi", but it did not mean that he was a good person. She was still clear about this simple principle.
"Then Master, what should we do next? Capture these little demons for interrogation?"
The crippled Daoist shook his head.
" I've been observing this group of little demons for a few days, and they didn't do anything out of line. They don't have any murderous aura either, and they don't seem to have harmed anyone. Reading all day can be considered a good deed. It seems unreasonable of me to capture them just like that. Besides, if I touch them, it'll easily alert that fellow cultivator. Therefore, I can't do such a reckless thing…Since that fellow cultivator lives in a human city, why don't we directly ask the City God? Perhaps we can get something out of it.”
The two of them set off and soon arrived at the City God's Mansion of the Underworld.
Mortals couldn't enter the netherworld, but the crippled Taoist was a Taoist, so it wasn't difficult for him.
He immediately took out his Daoist Seal to prove his identity and let the messenger of death report to the City God.
A moment later, Xiao Ning County's Shing Wong charged out angrily.
"The one who came is Daoist Master Limp of Danxia Mountain? Alright, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I've long wanted to settle a score with you!”
