Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 144: The Great Road to Fight
Heart Moon Fox Clan.
Xia, the leader of the Heart Moon Fox clan, was wearing a fiery red brocade robe. At this moment, he looked at the two Taoists in the hall with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's not that my clan refuses intentionally, but this matter is of great importance, and the ancestor of my clan is in seclusion, this..."
"Alright! Chief Xia, there is no need to refuse. Do you really think we don't know that the old man from your clan is away all year round and doesn't dare to come back, let alone talk about clan affairs.
Last time you wanted to lead your clan to join the Qingqiu Fox, you didn’t even inform that old fellow of your clan!”
Yu Ding rudely interrupted his speech with a rather dissatisfied tone, staring at Patriarch Xia fiercely.
Xiaotian lay at his feet, grinning cooperatively and barking in a baby voice.
Patriarch Xia felt a little embarrassed when his lie was exposed. He looked helplessly at the little fox lying in Mingyu's arms.
How could this girl tell everything? Otherwise, how would the other party know such a secret?
The little fox buried its head deeply in Mingyu's arms, its snow-white fur tinged with pink.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, how can you speak to Patriarch Xia like that?" Mingyu reprimanded Yuding.
Then he looked at the Heart Moon Fox Clan leader Xia with a bright and sunny smile:
"Patriarch Xia, the establishment of these twenty-eight constellations is in accordance with the laws of nature and beneficial to the prehistoric world. Whether it is for my heaven or for your clan, the benefits clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
The key is for the stars to return to their positions and guard the four directions to complete the four constellations. This is a real and great achievement. At that time, Heaven will surely reward you with luck and merit.
With this good fortune and merit, not to mention that your clan will prosper from now on, at least it can reduce your clan's karma and allow your clan's ancestor to return to his homeland."
The Xinyue Fox Clan was caught up in the previous calamity, and the karma they owed was not small. The ancestors of the clan died one by one, and the only remaining ancestor did not dare to come back, for fear that his own strong karma from heaven and earth would make the already bad situation of the Xinyue Fox Clan even worse.
Hearing this, Chief Xia loosened his clenched right hand hidden in his sleeve and let out a long sigh.
A fox dies on the hill where it was born!
These five words are deeply engraved in the blood of all foxes in the world.
Although Chieftain Xia felt resentful towards the previous generation of ancestors who insisted on entering the calamity, leading to the decline of the Xinyue Fox Clan.
But if we can welcome the ancestor's return openly, even if he has run out of energy, it is much better for him to transform himself into a god in his hometown than to die in the foreign land.
Seeing that Chief Xia was still a little hesitant, Yu Ding was about to start playing the villain again, but Mingyu shook his head to stop him.
It's almost there.
“Chief Xia, think about it. If your tribe joins our Heavenly Court and is ranked among the twenty-eight constellations, you will help the Heavenly Court stabilize the four directions and complete the number of the four constellations.
Firstly, you can obtain the protection of my Heavenly Palace, and secondly, you can continuously earn merits, which can relieve your clan’s worries about karma and the troubles caused by external enemies.
Your old ancestor who has run out of energy may have a chance to continue his journey. By then, your clan may have a great power to protect it. If so, why not do it?"
Mingyu did her best to play the role of the red face .
Patriarch Xia remained silent.
After a while, he said, "It's not that I don't know how to appreciate your kindness. What you said is very clear. But to be honest, my clan has made a mistake once in the last calamity, which led to the current situation. Therefore, my clan does not want to be involved in the waves of the prehistoric world again."
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
The benefits of joining the Heavenly Court are indeed real, but the dangers are also real.
Everyone in the prehistoric world knew that the Heavenly Court was blocked by the Immortal Court when it was first established. If there were not many people who wanted to cause trouble for the Immortal Court and helped the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court would have been destroyed in that battle!
What's more, the relationship between the demon clan and the witch clan is not very good, so most of the forces in the prehistoric world are not optimistic about the demon clan's heaven.
When Yu Ding heard this, he sneered and said with disdain, "It turns out that you, as the head of the clan, are also so naive!
Not to mention the internal and external troubles of your clan, even if none of these existed, do you think that your clan could escape all karmic disasters by closing off the mountains and forests and hiding from the world?
Don’t want to get involved in the chaos?
Fellow Daoist, don't forget that the prehistoric world has never been peaceful for long. No matter what, we cannot escape the word "fight"! "
The great way values struggle. These are the four words that Yu Ding has realized most deeply during his travels in the ancient world.
Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with all races, fight with yourself.
If you don't fight, it will be difficult to make progress. You deserve to fall behind, deserve to be beaten, and deserve to be crushed to ashes!
Therefore, Yu Ding felt that the statement of the Heart Moon Fox Clan leader was both ridiculous and pathetic. His purpose of escaping was not wrong. In the great strife of prehistoric times, there were many people who had this idea, but could they escape?
If we don’t fight, where do the three innate races come from? If we don’t fight, how can we be called the ancestors? If we don’t fight, how can our race survive in the world?
If Patriarch Hongjun does not fight, how can he "lie high in the ninth heaven, and attain the truth of Taoism on his cushion?"
Mingyu touched the little fox in her arms, looked at Patriarch Xia seriously and said:
“Chief Xia, I know your clan does not want to participate in the disputes between heaven and earth, but as Daoist Fellow Yu Ding said, some things cannot be avoided just because we want to. Otherwise, we would not have climbed the mountain.
To put it bluntly, your tribe is in a difficult situation right now, and the result of surrendering to other forces is definitely not good. The rejection of the Qingqiu Fox Tribe is a good example. "
Patriarch Xia looked very lonely when he heard this. He pursed his lips and said, "Is surrendering to the Heavenly Court the best outcome?"
Mingyu shrugged, "It's not the best, but it's definitely not bad. Whether in the short term or in the long term, this is a win-win situation.
As for other risks, I don’t think that Chief Xia will only think about the gains without thinking about the costs.”
At the end, Mingyu looked away with a mocking look.
Patriarch Xia coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Of course not, of course not."
"So, what does Patriarch Xia think?" Yu Ding raised his eyebrows, quite impatient.
"Since you two have said so much, I would be ungrateful if I disagree." Patriarch Xia took out the clan seal and stamped it on the contract handed over by Mingyu.
Then they made an oath between heaven and earth on the spot and announced that the Xinyue Fox Clan would join the demon clan's heaven.
"That's great. Three thousand years later, I hope you will come to the Heavenly Palace to report on your work as promised."
Mingyu put away the contract with a smile and patted the little fox's head.
"Okay, little one, I have to go too. I hope we can meet again in three thousand years."
The little fox quietly looked at Chief Xia, then nudged himself in Mingyu's arms, "Master Lingzun, can I go with you?"
"Of course!" Mingyu ignored the dark face of Patriarch Xia.
This time the little guy has made a contribution.
When Chief Xia saw them leaving, he seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Fellow Daoist, regarding the twenty-eight constellations, I know that my clan is very suitable for the position of the Seven Eastern Constellations."
"Oh? Which tribe? "
"To the west of my tribe, there is a tribe called: Tail Fire Tiger!"
Mingyu nodded, "Great kindness, I will give you a reward!"
"I dare not, I dare not." Chief Xia smiled.
As the two sword lights shot up into the sky, the smile on Patriarch Xia's face became even more intense.
"Old Huo, we agreed to share the happiness. You should enjoy the feeling of suppressing your clan with the sword!"
Thinking of the Taoist priest with a ferocious face who defeated his entire clan with just one sword, Patriarch Xia felt heartbroken.
