Chapter 135 A Story

What was written in the letter?

No one knew.

But no one broke the silence.

Everyone simply continued to listen.

The beggar smiled, took out a half-burnt piece of white paper from his bosom, and slowly said,

"In the letter, seven words were written: 'Down through the ages, only scholars are unfaithful.'"

As he said this, the beggar wept. His eyes were red, and tears fell, but soon he shook his head and laughed.

"Yes, since ancient times, only people are unfaithful. The most unfaithful... hahaha, hahahaha!"

He laughed and cried at the same time.

No one knew why he was like this.

But Lu Changsheng understood everything.

The bonfire burned, and the enchanting woman also laughed.

Her laughter was like silver bells, but filled with mockery.

"Yes, since ancient times, only scholars are unfaithful, so is it that people's hearts are sinister, or are demons terrifying?"

She continued to ask this question.

The old monk shook his head and didn't even say Amitabha.

The brawny man with a beard closed his eyes and remained silent.

But, at this moment, the beggar looked at the enchanting woman, his old eyes gradually becoming clear.

"Miss Qing'er, for fifty years, you haven't killed me, appearing in front of me all the time, just wanting me to live in pain. I understand, and I know. I always want to end my life, but you always save me."

"Actually, I didn't betray her heart, but she died because of me. For fifty years, I have suffered all kinds of torment. Miss Qing'er, if you really have resentment, then kill me."

The beggar spoke, saying this.

For a moment, everyone except Lu Changsheng was surprised.

No one had thought that this beggar was the scholar in this story.

"Hehehe, I won't kill you. I want you to suffer day and night, only in this way can you repay my sister's life!"

The enchanting woman said coldly.

In an instant, the merchants and others were all terrified. The word 'sister' made them realize that this enchanting woman was truly a demon.

"Evil creature! How dare you!"

The brawny man with a beard stood up immediately, holding a Daoist book in his hand, emitting a blue light, wanting to subdue this demon.

"Amitabha, well done, well done."

The old monk also spoke, and in an instant, the demon subduing staff in his hand emitted Buddha light, illuminating the mountain temple.

The enchanting woman's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

However, at this moment.

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, directly suppressing the Buddha light and Daoist light.

"Unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

Lu Changsheng spoke, and his one sentence suppressed the brawny man with a beard and the old monk, preventing them from moving.

And the enchanting woman was very surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Changsheng was also a cultivator, and his strength was very strong, easily suppressing these two cultivators.

In an instant, the enchanting woman knelt in front of Lu Changsheng and slowly said,

"I beg the immortal to uphold justice."

She was very smart, not continuing to attack, but letting Lu Changsheng uphold justice.

Inside the mountain temple.

Lu Changsheng looked at this enchanting woman, then glanced at the beggar, and finally shook his head.

"You are too persistent. Your sister's death has caused you to develop a demon in your heart, but all right and wrong have a cause, and then a consequence. The death of the white fox was caused by you, not by him. Do you understand?"

Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.

In an instant, the latter was stunned. Her beautiful face revealed an angry expression.

"It was clearly him who killed my sister, why is it me? All of you humans are like this, clearly doing your own deeds, but wanting to slander others, using the phrase 'acting on behalf of heaven' to cover up all your evil deeds, hahaha! Hahahaha!"

The woman laughed loudly, and the look in her eyes towards Lu Changsheng, in an instant, was filled with anger.

However, Lu Changsheng sighed.

"Then let me tell you a story, listen to it."

His tone was calm.

Then he slowly said, "Fifty years ago, there were two foxes, a white fox and a green fox, who depended on each other for life. They were spirits of heaven and earth, and were together from birth, so the relationship between them was deep."

"But one day, they encountered cultivators chasing them. The white fox was injured to save the green fox, and finally escaped to a scholar's home. In fact, long before, the white fox had known this scholar. The white fox often watched the scholar from a distance. This time, she escaped to the scholar's home."

"The scholar was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he gave her the only food left in his home. The two lived together, but three years later, the green fox woke up from cultivation, transformed into a human form, and found the white fox, only to find that the white fox had fallen in love with the scholar."

"At that time, the green fox felt hatred and jealousy. In order to break them up, the green fox made the villagers slander the scholar. If he didn't pass the imperial examination, the scholar was forced to take the examination because of rumors. And the green fox used magic to bewilder the chief examiner, making him a top scholar, and then making the current princess fall in love with someone she shouldn't have loved."

"The green fox thought that doing this would break them up, but what she didn't know was that the white fox was always waiting in the humble house, while the scholar often stood in front of the princess's mansion, gazing at the starry sky."

"The green fox persuaded the white fox to leave, but the white fox refused the green fox. At that moment, the green fox was enraged with jealousy. She told the princess about the white fox, and that princess, although she didn't love the scholar, she was a princess, and she would never allow her man to have another person in his heart."

"So the princess, in cooperation with the emperor, asked the scholar to retrieve the white fox's blood."

"At that time, the green fox thought that the white fox would be disheartened, but what she didn't expect was that when the white fox and the scholar met, they both understood each other. In the end, the white fox's inner demons deepened, and she transformed into the scholar, leading troops, and killing the white fox."

"However, before the white fox died, she saw that this was not the scholar! This was the green fox."

Lu Changsheng finished telling the story here.

In an instant, everyone in the mountain temple was completely stunned.

The scholar was stunned.

The monk was stunned.

The brawny man was stunned.

The merchants were stunned.

No one would have thought that this story would be so tortuous.

The green fox was also stunned.

"The story is good, but... if that's the case, why would the white fox write that sentence?"

The green fox smiled lightly, saying this.

Yes, if that's the case.

Why would the white fox write 'Down through the ages, only scholars are unfaithful?'"

The elderly scholar also didn't believe it. He looked at the half-yellowed letter in his hand, filled with doubt.

The letter couldn't be fake, it was written in her own hand.

And Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

In the end, he waved his hand.

In an instant, the half-burnt letter was restored to its original state.

A line of words appeared on the white paper.

"Down through the ages, only scholars are unfaithful, but Bai'er knows that you have not betrayed me. This life's love is broken. If there is a next life, Bai'er is willing to transform into a white fox again, to accompany you."

At this moment.

The scholar's tears fell, and his body kept trembling. He didn't cry out, as if suffocating.

He bent over, his heart aching like a knife, making him involuntarily bend over.

Pain!

His heart was aching!

And that enchanting woman was stunned in place.
