Capítulo 835: Chapter 348: Eight Foxes’ Thank-You Gift (Part 4)
“The Zen Sect will take thirty percent, will the Fox Monk agree?”
Hu Yunshang was very willing, the Palm Ginseng is precious, and every extra portion left for the Fox Clan means another step forward on their path of Zen cultivation.
Now that the Fox Clan has several extra portions left, it’s a great boon.
“Thank you, Master, thank you, Master.”
Hu Yunshang was stunned. He initially came to give a gift, but Zhou Xuan turned around and gave him a return gift that was far more precious than his three baskets of Snow Mountain Palm Ginseng.
“Words alone are not enough. You simply carry my words to the Snow Mountain, and the Revolving Sect might not trust you. Let me draw a little picture for you.”
Master Wu Ya reached out, grabbed a leaf, and bent down to pick up a piece of charred wood from the ground — after the Xianhuo disaster, in Mingjiang Prefecture, charcoal was everywhere to be found.
He used the charcoal to draw three wavy lines on the leaf. Once he finished, the wavy lines turned into a flowing breeze, and holding the leaf felt like being caressed by a spring breeze.
This is one of Master Wu Ya’s Zen insights — the Wu Ya Spring Breeze.
“By seeing this spring breeze, it is like seeing my Wu Ya Zen. The people of the Revolving Zen Sect will believe your words. Go now, the Zen Sect will take thirty percent, and the Fox Clan will take seventy percent of the Mountain Palm Ginseng. This number, you must neither exaggerate nor underreport, as going against the Zen insight might bring about a deadly calamity.”
Master Wu Ya handed the leaf drawing to Hu Yunshang and said thus.
“Master’s personally pointed Zen insight, how would this little Fox Monk dare to act carelessly.”
Hu Yunshang hurriedly said again: “Master, great lords, the two of you have greatly aided our Snow Mountain Fox Clan. Once I return to the Snow Mountain, I will do my best to gather mountain treasures to express my heart.”
“There’s no need for that.”
Master Wu Ya and Zhou Xuan almost spoke at the same time. After they finished speaking, they both smiled. Master Wu Ya said with a smile: “We might meet again if it is destined; do not force it.”
“Elder Hu, go with peace of mind. With Ya Zi’s painting, in the future, the Revolving Zen Sect will surely not dare to exploit you. Quickly return.”
“Thank you, thank you both Masters.”
Hu Yunshang looked back every three steps, bowed once to express his intentions, and as for that leaf drawing, he held it tightly, as it contained the Buddha energy of the Fox Clan.
Once Hu Yunshang left, Master Wu Ya suddenly lifted his head, becoming Zhao Wuya again, and said with a split personality; “Brother Xuan, I smell meat on you, tell me, have you been eating all by yourself?”
“Eating all by myself?” Zhou Xuan said with a smile, “Seven State fox clans came to give me gifts of thanks, and all brought meat, like wild chickens and wild rabbits… Alas… piled like a mountain…”
“Will I catch a bite when I go back?”
“What do you mean catch a bite, change your bad habit of eating rice, you’ll be full eating meat.”
Zhou Xuan continued: “But it’s strange, the Fox Clan sent thank-you gifts, and all seven of the State fox clans came, except for the East Gate Mansion.”
His words woke Yun Ziliang, who had been napping in the painting, making him laugh.
“Xuanzi, have you gotten mischievous lately? You might not remember who sent you gifts, but you have a clear recollection of who didn’t come to give you gifts.”
“If East Gate Mansion doesn’t come, won’t you hold a grudge?” Zhao Wuya chimed in.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said: “What are you two thinking, the East Mountain fox clan of East Gate Mansion is the hometown of King Xishan and Sister Cui—The establishment of the Hu Sect is such a significant event, and it was spearheaded by Lao Xi and Sister Cui. The East Mountain fox clan ought to come to support it.”
The former King Xishan pretended to break away from the East Mountain Fox Clan to establish the Snow Mountain Fox Clan; what he sought was a future for the fox clans of the world. Now, if Hu Sect finally has a Tangkou and his family doesn’t come out to support… how sad would Lao Xi be?
“True.”
Zhao Wuya then realized, but changed his mind and said: “No worries, Brother Xuan, East Gate Mansion is one of the eight State capitals, the farthest from our Mingjiang Prefecture. Perhaps the East Mountain Fox Clan is still on their way.”
He had just finished speaking when suddenly, a flame of Dao Yan ignited in front of him and Zhou Xuan. The Painter emerged from the space: “Great Lords, I suppose you’re here to solve the matter of the Snow Mountain Fox Clan being exploited with Master Zhao, hurry, come with me.”
“What’s the matter, in such a hurry?”
“The East Mountain Fox Clan has arrived… The Hu Sect Tangkou is also about to light the first incense, everyone is waiting for you to attend the ceremony.”
“Then I must go.”
“You have to go, this time, the East Mountain Fox Clan has brought gifts, and they are very grand; they are the most distinguished of distinguished guests.”
“How grand?” Zhou Xuan, hearing of gifts, was curious to hear the list of gifts.
“Red Ginseng Child.”
“What? Say it again?”
Yun Ziliang jumped out of the painting with a swoosh, gently patting his ear, fearing he had heard wrong…
