"Curse!"

"There's nothing new."

"Monks believe this too!"

"Are you a monk halfway?"

…

Master Mingxi gave the two gossiping old men a hard look, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who also looked suspicious, "Why are you so anxious? I'll tell you the reason first."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang murmured, "Did you tell us to go back as soon as possible after watching it..."

"Tsk." Mingxi glared at the two of them - you two have learned the same thing, right?!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly stopped talking and asked the master, "What's the curse?"

"There is a legend that the ghost fox mountain god is very spiritual. Go to this temple at midnight and make three wishes to the ghost fox, and the wishes will come true..."

Before Master Mingxi finished speaking, Zhan Zhao turned his face and looked at the temple, "Is it really that spiritual? Then should I go and worship?"

Bai Yutang also nodded, that means - give it a try! If you don't pick up the body after worshiping for a year, I will give it a golden body next year!

Master Mingxi grabbed Zhan Zhao by the collar as he was about to enter the temple to worship, "Wait until I finish speaking!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Ming Xi.

"It would be okay if none of the three wishes come true, but if they all come true..." Master Tai said seriously, "there will be a big disaster."

Zhan Zhao became even happier after hearing this and was about to run to the temple.

Master Mingxi held on to his collar and refused to let go.

Zhan Zhao pointed at the ruined temple and said, "I tried it on the spot to see if it works! I'm going to test whether the fox is enough to be a ghost!"

Master Mingxi was so angry that his temper boiled up. He turned around and glared at Tianzun and White Dragon King - How could this child be so naughty?!

Both the White Dragon King and Tianzun look at the sky - they are not from my family.

The Fifth Master stretched out his hand, took Zhan Zhao's collar from Master Mingxi's hand, pulled him to his side, and nodded to Mingxi, indicating - from my family.

Master Mingxi glared at Zhan Zhao, "There have been many incidents in this temple. Don't rely on your martial arts skills to believe in evil. This is not a matter of strange power and chaos at all. It is complicated."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang inexplicably sensed some conspiracy, and asked, "What kind of complicated method?"

"This temple has a long history, and foxes have always been worshiped as mountain gods." Shitai explained, "I have been in Mingyang Mountain for many years. There was no such legend before. It only started to exist about twenty years ago.

.”

"Such a short time?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, thinking it had been a long time.

"Then someone made it up." Bai Yutang asked Ming Xi, "Does Master have any clues?"

Mingxi nodded, "Yes."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at her eagerly.

Master Tai coughed and pointed at himself, "I made it up."

When Master Tai said something, not only Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but also Tianzun and White Dragon King turned to look over.

After being stunned for a while, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said in unison, "Did you make it up?!"

Master Tai nodded.

Zhan Zhao was even more puzzled, why did he make up such a legend?

The master was also helpless, because at that time the master of Mingyang Temple was not me but my master. Although some women in distress had begun to be taken in at that time, the scale was not as large as it is now.

"The purpose of spreading this rumor at that time was to attract some women who were in trouble to make wishes." Master Mingxi explained, "If it was just that the wishes made at the mountain temple would come true, there would be many others.

People come here, for example, if they want to get promoted or make a fortune. They deliberately make the price bigger and more sinister, so that they can filter out many irrelevant people. Many women who are forced to do so will indeed come to make a wish, hugging and harming her.

The idea is that all the people who wish to die together will die together. Every night at midnight, I or some sisters from the temple will come, mainly to listen. It seems that the people who have made the wish have any difficulties. If they can solve them in secret, they will help solve them. If it doesn’t work, they will take the people up the mountain. Gradually,

Word spread that making wishes here was very effective...and more and more people came to send tributes, causing the fox to get fatter and fatter..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally figured it out. Dare to love is such a thing...

"In other words, there is no such thing as being punished for making a wish come true?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Master Mingxi nodded, "It didn't happen before."

Everyone frowned, "Before?"

"As I took over as the director of the temple, Mingyang Temple has grown bigger and bigger, and this forest is no longer so useful." Master Mingxi continued, "Occasionally, people who heard the rumors will still go in. But this forest is no longer useful."

The forest is actually very safe. Except for a few fat foxes being fed, there are no wild animals. The disciples of Mingyang Temple will go in every day to see if anyone is there. Originally, the rumors about this forest have gradually been forgotten...

…However, something happened sixteen years ago.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both listened carefully - what happened?

"Suddenly, a police officer from the Yamen of Daming Prefecture came to investigate a case that may be related to this forest." Master Mingxi continued, "There is a very famous study in Daming Prefecture, Chen's Study, have you heard of it?

"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded, Zhan Zhao had also heard of this name.

Bai Yutang seems to know better, "Chen's Study is very famous, it is a private school. There are various famous writers and tutors in the study, which lays the foundation for students. Nine out of ten students who come out of Chen's Study are capable

Those who enter Taixue will basically serve as officials in the court or become famous, so many descendants of famous families will be sent to Chen's study to lay the foundation."

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "I think I've heard of it..."

Tianzun also heard it and came over to look at his disciple, "Did you still hear clearly? Did you ask about it?"

The Fifth Master nodded, "My eldest brother asked me to inquire before and wanted to send some children from Xiankong Island who are very good at studying there."

"Did you go there later?" Tianzun was curious, "Doesn't it cost a lot of money to study in this study?"

"If it's just money, then it's not a problem." The fifth master shook his head, "The families of the children on Xiankong Island are all from the Jianghu community, mostly boatmen and fishermen. Chen's Study requires that the family must be from a scholarly family, and their fathers are great talents.

Or he is an official in the court and has a good reputation. For example, Bao Yan will definitely be able to get in, but Pang Yu will definitely not be able to get in."

Zhan Zhao shook his head after hearing this, "Does that mean even Lin Xiao can't enter?"

"Not to mention Lin Xiao, even Xie Yan doesn't want to enter. Chen's study is not short of money at all, and merchants will be looked down upon." Bai Yutang smiled, "Of course, if someone is willing to help write a letter of introduction, it is still possible, for example

Someone like Mr. Bao or my father."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Then why not let Uncle Bai help write it?"

"I asked my dad to help, but he got very angry when he heard it. He said, "What a shabby study to study in? Can't a child who runs a boat study well in a study? What's wrong with his parents being fishermen? Whose family has no family members?"

Are you going to cross the land? Don't go to that shabby place!" Master Wu shrugged, "So my father asked a group of friends to set up a small study room on the island and teach the students himself. Wang Lin and the others were all taught by themselves on Xianggong Island.

, didn’t he also go to Taixue, and he is still versatile in both civil and military affairs.”

Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement, "Bao Yan didn't go into that study either. He studied with his mother since he was a child. He's still a great talent, right?"

Ming Xi looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were chatting among themselves and coughed lightly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"A student from Chen's Academy is missing." Master Mingxi continued, "That student's surname is Wang. It is said that he is the student with the worst grades in the study. Chen often eliminates some students with poor grades to avoid affecting the study.

Reputation, and it can also increase competition among students in the study."

Zhan Zhao frowned when he heard this, and winked at Fifth Master - Fortunately, the children on Xingkong Island didn't go to the study room, it was too scary.

The fifth master also nodded in agreement.

"The police officer who was in charge of investigating the case told me that the prince was thirteen years old, and he heard the legend of Ghost Fox Forest from somewhere, so he went to the temple in the middle of the night and made three wishes. I came with him

The boy said that his three wishes were: first, he wanted to get the first place in the study and impress his teachers and classmates who looked down on him. Second, he hoped that a student who had been bullying him could get the last place in the examination. Third, he wanted to get the last place in the examination.

A wife who always treats him badly can be unlucky."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. After all, they were only thirteen years old. They came here in the middle of the night to make such childish three wishes, and they didn't wish to get the top prize in the exam. It was not easy for them to come here.

"Then have all his wishes come true?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Master Mingxi nodded, "It's all happened. He really got the first place in the exam. The classmate who had been bullying him got the last place in the exam and was kicked out of the study. Then the wife who was not good to him was paralyzed after being hit by a carriage.

bed and never got up."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned - the result was quite serious.

"Then what?" Tianzun and White Dragon King were also a little interested, "Then the child's wish came true, but then he disappeared?"

Master Mingxi nodded, "And I haven't found it yet."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned, "But this legend was originally made up by you, Master Tai..."

Master Mingxi sneered, "So! The three wishes that the young master fulfilled and his final disappearance should have nothing to do with this temple! Something else must have happened."

Everyone nodded.

"However, this incident is just the beginning." Master Mingxi sighed, "What happened after that became more and more evil."
