Chapter 138: Master Bai Fourteen
A fox cry rang out, sounding especially eerie in the dead of night.
The already panicked villagers were even more frightened, scattering in all directions, the scene turning into complete chaos.
The disheveled peasant woman was kicked to the ground by Lu Bai, rolling two circles. When she crawled up, fox-like facial fur had already grown on her face.
Master Tao came back to his senses, cupping his hands toward Lu Bai with lingering fear.
“Thank you, Young Master Lu, for the rescue.”
Lu Bai returned a mild smiling face, then inquired.
“You should be able to deal with it, right?”
To be honest, he had no experience dealing with such bizarre immortals and still had to rely on professionals.
Moreover, the current situation was actually far from optimistic.
One could notice that the three apprentices’ incense temporarily trapped the gray-skinned fox, but once the incense in their hands burned out, it would surely face revenge from the gray-skinned fox. And this fox spirit in front of him did not look like an easy one to deal with no matter how one saw it.
Realizing this, Master Tao no longer hesitated and gritted his teeth: “There’s one more method. Could I trouble Young Master Lu to protect the altar for me?”
Lu Bai nodded: “Then hurry up.”
He had no method to deal with immortals, but delaying time should not be a problem.
Upon receiving the reply, Master Tao’s actions showed no hesitation whatsoever.
He sat cross-legged, took out a white thorn nearly twenty centimeters long from his bundle, and bit it with his teeth.
He placed a porcelain bowl in front of him, cut his fingertip with a dagger, flicked a few drops of blood into the bowl, then added a piece of smoked dried meat, and finally lit three incense sticks in front of the bowl.
With the preparatory work done, Master Tao’s complexion turned solemn: “Ancestors sit in the center, with words to speak to all. Each hall offers immortal lists, cultivation on the immortal path is no easy matter, do not let evil thoughts ruin your cultivation…”
Lu Bai glanced at him but did not pay too much attention, keeping most of his focus on the fox spirit in front of him.
Fortunately, the other side also seemed unable to gauge Lu Bai’s depths and did not launch an attack rashly.
He was naturally happy with this, preferably confronting directly until Master Tao finished his ritual.
However, the peasant woman probably knew what Master Tao was doing and suddenly reached out to tear off her upper garment.
She smiled coquettishly: “Why go to such trouble, Young Master? This isn’t our first time crossing paths.”
“That’s how it is.” Lu Bai brushed it off casually.
The peasant woman suddenly changed her expression to sobbing, occasionally taking two steps toward Lu Bai’s position.
“We have no grudge, Young Master. Why not let me go?”
Lu Bai twisted his neck and took a proactive step toward the peasant woman.
There was nothing particularly remarkable about it, yet it forced this fox spirit to halt.
“Young Master only knows how to bully me.”
The peasant woman cried pear blossoms with rain but still dared not try to make a move.
It was simply that she could not figure out what was up with Lu Bai at all.
He clearly looked like an ordinary human, yet she could not entrance him no matter what, and with that fearless due to backing attitude, something was off no matter how one thought about it.
And after delaying for this amount of time, it was already enough for Master Tao to enter trance with the incense topping.
“…Star shines on the fortune star high above, one day the true fruit will overflow the hall.”
Master Tao bit tightly on the long thorn in his mouth: “Fourteenth Master, come out. I have something to discuss with you.”
The next second, his head suddenly drooped down, stopping abruptly just before smashing into the incense.
“Chirp chirp~”
