Chapter 509 The Secret of the Fox Fairy
Why do you think so?
I was somewhat curious about Long Nier's assessment.
"Those fox spirits were invited to Windsor Mansion for worship, not imprisoned within Windsor Tower. No one stopped them from absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. The excuse that they couldn't absorb the essence and were forced to kill and steal souls is just that—an excuse!"
"Long Nier said coldly."
"I suspect that, having witnessed the hustle and bustle of the world and been influenced by wine, women, wealth, and power, he lost control of his true nature, which led him to commit murder and steal souls!"
Long Nier expressed her judgment.
"That's possible!"
I nodded and asked, "And then, how was it resolved?"
"Because the news of the fox spirit killing people spread so widely that major newspapers rushed to report it, and the whole of Hong Kong Island knew about it, the building's business declined day by day. The building's upper management had no choice but to once again seek out that master and ask him for help!"
At this point, Long Nier paused and said, "Of course, there's another theory, that the one they invited wasn't the original Taoist priest!"
"And then?" I asked.
"After investigating, the master said that the seven fox spirits in the building were killing people and stealing their souls. They had already completed their cultivation. If they are not dealt with, they will cause even greater disasters. Not only will ordinary people suffer, but those in high positions will also be affected!" Long Nier said slowly.
"Ni'er, I know the rest without you having to tell me. Those higher-ups are afraid of being implicated, so they asked that master to get rid of those fox spirits, right?" I said.
"About the same!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "There are many versions of this story. For example, the master's cultivation was insufficient, so he only sealed the seven fox spirits on a marble wall in front of the building. After the sealing was completed, someone saw a row of fox head marks appear on the wall!"
"After the news spread, citizens flocked to the building to see the fox head, and the building's upper management didn't stop them, happily using this method to attract attention!"
"Later, after the hype surrounding the fox spirit killing people subsided, a paranormal radio program on Hong Kong Island received a tip from a listener who said he was an employee of Windsor House and one day went to the top floor of the building to cool off, where he unexpectedly discovered a hidden children's playground."
She asked the security guard, who explained that the playground was for children who had been killed by fox spirits.
"Because the program was broadcast live online, it generated a lot of buzz about Windsor House after it aired!"
"Was that intentional?" I said.
"I don't know if it was intentional or not, but this is the most widespread theory, and it doesn't end there, there's more to come!" Long Nier said.
"There's more to it?" I was a little surprised.
"Um!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "Later, a sorceress from Taiwan named Aunt Xue was appeared to in a dream by a fox spirit, who said that her child was sealed in Hong Kong and asked her to go to Hong Kong to rescue the child!"
"Could these so-called children be those fox spirits from Windsor Mansion that kill and refine souls?" I said.
"That's right, it's those seven fox spirits!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "So, Aunt Xue came to Hong Kong Island, rescued the seven sealed fox spirits, brought them back to the island, and released them into the Fox Mountain!"
"Is this true or false?" I asked.
"The rumors outside are quite detailed, and this Aunt Xue is very famous in Taiwan. She's even been on a Taiwanese paranormal variety show!" Long Nier said.
"By the way, which mountain did you mean by Fox Mountain?" I asked.
"Yangmingshan!"
"Long Nier said."
"It is said that there are nearly three hundred fox spirits on this mountain, and almost every single one of them is supported by someone!"
Long Nier continued.
"Are they all being cared for?"
I thought of a possibility and asked, "Ni'er, there must be celebrities from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong who are supporting these fox spirits, right?"
"Is there even a need to think about this?"
Long Ni'er scoffed and said, "As far as I know, Sister Helen has a source of support!"
"Helen is awesome! She has connections with kids from Siam and fox spirits from Taiwan!" I joked.
"I'll go find Helen one of these days to scout things out and see who's gone through her to Yangmingshan to summon the fox spirit!"
After making fun of him, my gossipy side kicked in.
"Brother, the Windsor Mansion matter isn't over yet!" Long Nier said.
"Is it not over yet?"
My train of thought was brought back to reality.
"It's not over yet!" Long Nier shook her head.
"Is there more to the story?" I asked.
"It's not the inside story, it's another version of events, or rather, it's what the Xuanmen (mystical sect) says!" Long Nier said.
"What's the inside story within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?"
I immediately perked up. "Tell me, what exactly happened!"
"The beginning is largely the same, but the difference is that after the fox spirit murder case broke out, the master who was invited did not think of suppression first, but extermination!" Long Nier said.
"Ni'er, I felt uneasy listening to this. The fox spirit murder case has killed a lot of babies. If Lin Pangzi and I were to take over this job, we would definitely figure out how to kill those fox spirits as soon as possible. If we can't kill them, we'll call for help. Aren't there still Master Liu and the others?" I said.
"According to information circulating within the Xuanmen sect, that master did the same thing. He couldn't defeat the seven fox spirits and was seriously injured. Later, he found a fellow cultivator, and after a great deal of effort, just as they were about to kill the seven fox spirits, an unexpected turn of events occurred!"
When Long Nier mentioned this meal, she started to keep everyone in suspense again.
I didn't dare say anything more, and instead asked cooperatively, "What happened?"
"People from Taiwan have arrived!" Long Nier exclaimed.
"That Aunt Xue?" I asked.
"no!"
Long Ni'er shook her head and asked, "Brother, do you know where the foxes of Yangmingshan come from?"
"I don't know!" I shook my head.
"Do you know who's in charge of the foxes on Yangmingshan?" Long Nier asked again.
"I don't know!" I shook my head again.
"The Way of the Celestial Masters!" Long Nier said.
"The Celestial Masters Sect?" I was a little surprised.
"That's right, it's the Celestial Masters Sect!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "Yangming Mountain is the Taoist temple of the Celestial Masters sect. There is a Fox Spirit Hall on it, which specifically manages the fox spirits on the mountain!"
"Ni'er, do you mean that at the crucial moment, it wasn't Aunt Xue who saved those seven fox spirits, but a Taoist priest from the Celestial Masters sect?"
Hearing this, I immediately understood.
"right!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "According to what's been circulating within the Xuanmen sect, the two masters were already exhausted from dealing with the seven fox spirits. When that Taoist priest from Taiwan appeared, they were powerless to resist and could only let him take the seven fox spirits away!"
"Isn't this just a case of the monsters with powerful backers being taken away, while those without backers were killed?"
This result reminded me of certain details in "Journey to the West".
"You could say that!" Long Nier nodded.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
I said.
"Because the one from Taiwan comes from the Celestial Masters sect and has a powerful background, the two masters from Hong Kong, even if they disagree, have no choice but to swallow their anger. It's precisely because they disagree that this matter has come to light!"
"Long Nier said."
