In the northeastern suburbs under the snowy sky, in a large living room inside a villa, a double soft bed was placed in the center. A thin middle-aged man wearing a restraint jacket for mental patients was tied to the bed with five big ropes. The mans eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, and his mouth kept making a sound similar to an animals cry.

  As he drew closer and his features became clear, it was enough to scare someone out of their wits. This mans mouth and face were abnormally protruding, and he had actually grown a fox-like face. The corners of his mouth would occasionally spew out a liquid resembling ink, which would splatter everywhere, emitting a stench similar to that of rotting fish.

  In the living room, there were still dozens of men and women standing far away on one side. The eyes of these people were fixed on the thin man lying on the bed, but in their eyes, except for the fearful gaze, only two or three people showed a truly concerned expression.

  I and Sun Baozi were beside the thin man, I sat cross-legged at the foot of the thin man, with a black hood on my head, matching the lyrics in Sun Baozis mouth to make movements.

  The guy tied to the bed is the richest man in the local area, and hes a close relative of Sun Baozi - his name is Sun Liancheng. He can be seen in almost every profitable business in the local area. Dont look at him now, like a fox or not. Who would have thought that just half a year ago, this richest man was still a big fat man with all kinds of physical indicators exceeding standards, and he had to attend seven or eight dinner parties every day? Originally, his face wasnt handsome, but at least it looked regular. The reason why Boss Sun became what he is today starts from half a year ago.

  Half a year ago, Mr. Sun bought a piece of land in a remote mountain forest, planning to build a high-end resort far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The name of the resort had already been decided: "Paradise on Earth". However, just as the workers began excavating the foundation, they stumbled upon something extraordinary.

  When the workers were digging the foundation, they unexpectedly dug through a huge underground cave. Because of the large scale of this cave, it was initially thought to be an ancient underground tomb. At that time, the workers who participated in the excavation saw that it was easy and thought that since they had already dug so far, they might as well continue digging to see if there were any treasures buried inside, perhaps one day they could buy a house or land with the treasures found here.

  But after digging, it was realized that it wasnt that simple. Inside the cave, there were only tens of thousands of fox corpses and a stone monument with a fox head carved on it, nothing else. These tens of thousands of dead foxes were all stiff and dry, basically without any signs of decay.

  Some older workers on the scene were stunned, they were all local people from Northeast China, and had heard some stories about the five great immortals of Northeast China. With such a scene in front of them, anyone who saw it would have weak legs. At this point, none of the workers had any intention of working anymore. A few older workers found red ropes to surround the fox grave, then started burning incense and kowtowing to the fox grave. The project manager on site was the younger brother-in-law of Old Sun, he really couldnt order these workers around, so he could only call his brother-in-law to report what was happening here. However, on the phone, he didnt explain clearly, just saying that they had dug up a few foxes and all the workers on the construction site were scared, not daring to start work.

  At that time, Old Sun was already furious on the phone. Whats the big deal about a few dead foxes? Theyre not even human, so why did they have to stop work? After scolding his younger brother-in-law until he was speechless, he personally led a team to the construction site deep in the mountains and old forests.

  When Mr. Sun got off the car and saw the scene in front of him, he was also shocked to take a cold breath. Only then did he realize that his younger brother-in-law had not told him the truth on the phone. This was no longer just a matter of a few foxes. Even if all the foxes in the mountain were caught and thrown inside, it would still be impossible to fill this underground cave.

  However, Boss Sun was determined to continue being tough. This construction site would cost him nearly 100,000 yuan a day. Although Boss Suns family was wealthy and influential, they couldnt afford such a huge loss either. First, Boss Sun called over several foremen and had them arrange for people to dispose of the dead fox below. They found a place to bury it temporarily, then immediately had the workers resume work.

  However, after Old Sun finished speaking, the faces of these big workers suddenly didnt look good. After hesitating for a while, the oldest worker among them spoke up with a bitter face: "Boss, I dare not dig anymore. You also saw that there are at least tens of thousands of fox fairies below, and this place is called Xuanyuan Tomb. Disturbing these fox fairies is already a great disrespect. Now we should refill the soil here, sacrifice a few dozen chickens to appease them, and avoid being blamed by the fox fairies. Boss, its just troubling you to spend some more money and change places to continue our world outside of this one."

  "Dont drag me into this!" Old Master Sun glared at the old worker and shouted: "Its just a few dead foxes, you guys are taking it seriously. Change the subject - do you know how much money Ive spent here? Just fixing the road to get in, Ive already spent 6 million! And yet youre still talking about fox spirits, if there really is one, call out one or half of one and let me take a look!"

  Mr. Sun became more and more excited as he shouted, and finally didnt care about the few foremen anymore. He took a few of his men to the warehouse, rummaged through it, and brought out two barrels of gasoline. Mr. Sun personally poured the gasoline on the dead foxes in the pit, and in front of all the workers, set fire to the tens of thousands of dead foxes, burning them into charcoal.

  There were indeed a few workers who wanted to stop Old Sun, but unfortunately they were all blocked outside by the people brought by Old Sun. Just as the foxes were about to be burned clean, a black smoke emerged from the charred body of the fox corpse. In just an instant, this black smoke covered the entire construction site.

  Apart from being a little scared, others didnt have any unusual feelings. They just heard that Mr. Suns location suddenly made a few mournful cries, and everyone didnt know what had happened. Fortunately, the black smoke came quickly and went quickly too. A moment later, the black smoke disappeared completely.

  After the black smoke disappeared, it was discovered that Old Sun had fallen to the ground. The muscles on his face were twitching non-stop, and his complexion had transformed into a fox-like appearance.

  At that time, everyone was scared by Suns strange appearance and looked at him from a distance without daring to get close. In the end, it was Sun Lianchengs younger brother-in-law who took out 100,000 yuan on the spot and bought a few brave men to carry Sun, rushing several tens of kilometers to send him to the local hospital.

  Such a disease, ordinary doctors cant diagnose it. The doctor on duty was also scared silly, and such a "disease" is not only untreatable, but also unheard of. In the end, it was the dean in charge who took a look, sweating profusely while pulling Sun Laos family members to the corner after they rushed over upon hearing the news.

  "Everyone is like this, and you still send them to the hospital. Does it make sense?" The old director had a tangled expression, as if he was about to say "Are you here to cause trouble?"

  At this time, Sun Laos family members saw Sun Lianchengs appearance and were basically scared silly. The oldest person present was Sun Lianchengs uncle. The old man had lived a long life and had some experience, so he arranged for someone to pull Sun Lao into the villa in the countryside. According to the intention of the Sun family, they wanted to pull him back into the luxurious mansion in the provincial city, but they were also afraid that if Sun Laos current appearance was taken by reporters and put online, it would be a huge scandal.

  So from that day on, Mr. Sun settled down in this villa. His relatives and friends didnt idle around either, they started looking for ways to solve the problem for Mr. Sun.

  In the eyes of locals, apart from jumping gods and Einstein, everything else is feudal superstition. Since Einsteins stuff doesnt work, lets invite the gods home.

  The Sun family was also a big household, and they found more than a dozen Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits for Old Master Sun. However, most of these priests took one look at Sun Lianchengs appearance and turned around to leave without saying another word.

  From start to finish, only two guys from nearby counties persisted, they didnt even see Suns face, but patted their chests and guaranteed that the gods would be exorcised. After seeing Sun Lianchengs appearance, they turned pale. The second god held the Wen Wang drum, closed his eyes and sang a few sentences before starting to foam at the mouth. He was still okay, the big god on the bed directly fell into Suns arms and started convulsing.

  But thats how it is, the two gods are still spitting out white foam while finishing this big god song. After they finished, Old Sun still had a sly face and burst into laughter towards the big god who was still trembling in his arms. The guys who jumped with Er Sheng first snatched the big god from the bed, then wiped off the white foam at the corner of their mouths, and said to Old Suns uncle with a sad face: "Boss, its not easy to earn money, can you give us some reward?"

  According to the rules, these two brothers should have been driven away. Originally, just giving them a couple of apples would have been enough to get rid of them. However, Sun Lianchengs uncle said: "Dont worry, Ill give you the money, you two are too damn professional..."

  Locals couldnt solve the problem of Sun Lianchengs possession, so his relatives had no choice but to seek help from other provinces and cities in hopes of finding a master who could perform the "big god" ritual. This led them to Xiao Heshang, an old man who even made a special trip to see Suns situation. However, the main familys requirements were too harsh, and apart from the "big god" ritual, everything else was feudal superstition that couldnt be used again to harm poor Sun Liancheng.

  Originally, Master Xiao was also able to help Boss Sun exorcise the evil spirit, but the other partys precondition of only wanting to jump into a trance and not wanting anything else made it difficult for Xiao and Shang. Seeing that the money in hand couldnt be ignored, after some thought, he came up with me and Sun Baozi.

  At that time, the Folk Belief Bureau had been disbanded for more than half a year, and my and Sun Qiangs folk religion workshop had also been in business for some time. Shao Yiyi and Huang Ran, Meng Qiqi and Zhang Zhiyan also joined one after another, but it was still just starting out. In the past when I was at the Folk Belief Bureau, I was used to waiting every day for paranormal events from all over the country to be reported. Now that I have to go out and find business myself, I know the difference between state-owned and private enterprises. Plus, I also have to support Yang Jun and Yang Xiao, these two good-for-nothings, which makes it even harder to make ends meet.

  When the Folklore Bureau was disbanded, Sun Baozi went to great lengths to bring Er Yang to the Folk Religion Workshop. He had thought that as long as he had these two brothers by his side, no matter how dangerous the situation, they would be able to handle it with ease. If all else failed, there was still Wu Rendian, a powerful deity, but Sun Baozi still felt a little intimidated by Wu Rendian, and it was better not to provoke such a god-like figure if possible.

  After haggling with Xiao Shang, Sun Wuzi took the job and received a payment of 370 yuan. This small matter didnt require Er Yang to take action personally, so after making some preparations, I, Sun Dawei, and Huang Ran set off for Boss Suns villa.

  After arriving at the local place, we didnt go to see Suns family directly. Instead, we hid in the hotel and studied the knowledge of jumping gods for a whole night. Although I had seen a few scenes of jumping gods when I was young, it wasnt until I entered the Civil Affairs Bureau that I realized those people were basically all fake gods who cheated money, but why did I vaguely remember that among these fake gods, there was also Xiao Shang...

  Its said to be a crash course, but in fact, its just finding a bunch of books and videos about jumping gods to watch. Including the archival materials taken from the data room before the Civil Affairs Bureau was abolished, but time is too tight, Sun Baozi has no interest in textual materials, he just guards the computer and watches videos about jumping gods all night.

  After watching, Sun Baozi began to arrange the roles between us. The second god who was responsible for speaking and singing was none other than me, I just had to sit honestly on the bed and play a little trick with Sun Baozi. Then wait for the right moment, take advantage of when people around are not paying attention, and solve Sun Bosss trouble.

  Huang Ran is in charge of driving, if we cant handle it, just pull him out, after all, Huang Wei Chang was also the last big boss of the Religious Committee before, such things wont be difficult for him.

  The next morning, the three of us arrived at Old Suns villa. Since we had already made contact beforehand, although the many relatives in the Sun family were a bit skeptical about my and Sun Baozis age, Old Sun had been ill for almost half a year, and if things continued like this, he would really be close to death. Now it can only be said that a dead horse is being used as a living horse doctor, let us try, anyway, its already come to this, whats the worst that could happen?

  It was still Uncle Sun who personally took me and Sun Kuai to the house of Sun Liancheng. After entering, I saw a huge fox lying on the body of the man on the bed at a glance. When this fox saw me and Sun Kuai coming in, it raised the corner of its mouth and actually made a cold smile.

  But in an instant, the foxs expression changed, its eyes fixed on the two short swords inserted at my waist, called Sin and Punishment, which were obtained from Wu Renyis greatest enemy. Although they had not been used many times, this fox clearly showed fear towards these two short swords. Knowing what youre afraid of makes things easier...

  After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Sun family, Sun Baozi immediately made a guarantee: "Everything is on our brothers shoulders, Im not saying, as long as its not the nine-tailed fox Su Daji reborn, we cant escape our brothers palms, right?"

  When he said the last sentence, Sun Baozis tone was not as confident. Afterwards, when things were over, he told me that his Tianyan ability was too weak and could only vaguely see a misty thing on Mr. Suns body, and what he said at the end was to ask if I had any confidence.

  I nodded and replied to Sun Baozi: "A small fox, no big deal."

  After my words, Sun Baozis heart fell to the ground, and after speaking nonsense for a few more sentences, we changed into our spirit-jumping clothes. I got onto Sun Bosss bed, and when that fox saw me approaching, it first opened its mouth to threaten me nonstop. Seeing no effect, as I continued to get closer, this fox actually pried open Sun Bosss mouth, stuck its head in, and with a whoosh, its entire body slipped into his.

  This process was just a blink of an eye, and when I wanted to stop it, the fox had already completely drilled in. Its body was huge, but unexpectedly, after drilling in, Old Suns body didnt change at all.

  Things have gotten a bit troublesome now, I can only take it one step at a time...

  After I sat down, Sun Baozi began his performance. This chubby guy first beat the Wen Wang drum for a while. Unexpectedly, in just one nights time, he was able to beat it with such skill and rhythm that it was almost indistinguishable from the drumming I heard when I was young watching people perform the "dà shén" ritual. Even the Sun family members surrounding us couldnt help but nod their heads in approval.

  After a burst of Wen Wangs drumming, Sun Baozi opened his mouth and sang a sentence. After this loud singing, I almost fell off the bed, he was singing "Er Ren Zhuan" or "Ma Guo Fu Kai Dian".

  After the two sang this sentence, the faces of the surrounding crowd changed on the spot. Almost everyones eyes turned gloomy and began to glare, looking like they would rush over as soon as someone took the lead, and give me and Sun Baozi a good beating. Im not afraid of fighting, but starting a fight for a widows horse...

  Just as the situation was about to get out of hand, Sun Lianchengs uncle, the oldest among them, spoke up: "Everyone be honest for now! Let them finish their ritual first, and well talk after that. If Liancheng wakes up, everything will be fine; if he doesnt wake up, Ill break these two bastards legs!"

  After finishing the sentence, the noisy voice slowly subsided, but everyones eyes were still staring at me and Sun Baozi with a fierce gaze. Fortunately, Sun Baozis psychological quality was excellent, as if nothing had happened, he still had a smiling face, and suddenly turned the lyrics to jumping gods again.

  After a few opening remarks, Sun Wukong sang the main verse: "Ive come to invite the immortal family——first, I invite Yuanshi Tianzun!" Following Sun Wukongs words, I straightened my body and made a gesture with my hands. Sun Wukong invited two more immortals in succession, and each time, I followed his words and made various gestures.

  This opening was ordinary, and the noise from the onlookers also decreased a lot. However, the bad luck just happened to be with the fourth fairy who was invited out. When singing to this point, Sun Lianchengs mouth suddenly opened, and a fox head came out of it, calling out to Sun Baozi, attracting his attention. After a person and a fox stared at each other for an eye, before I could take action to pull it out from Sun Bosss mouth, the fox quickly retracted its head again.

  After a glance at the fox, Sun Baozi suddenly opened his heavenly eyes and saw the true form of the fox. He couldnt help but shudder. Although we had seen such scenes many times before, for some reason, after exchanging glances with the fox, Sun Baozi forgot the lyrics that followed. His mind was a complete blank. Originally, he just needed to casually mention a few divine names to get through this section, but now his mind was empty and he couldnt think of any gods or Buddhas at all.

  After humming and murmuring for a few sentences, this guy finally started making things up: "Invite Jay Chou to sing..."

  As soon as the words came out, everyone including me was stunned. The people behind heard the new phrase and their eyes were all staring at me, looking at my reaction. After holding back for half a day, I finally stretched out my hand to gesture and hummed a sentence vaguely: "Quickly... quickly use the nunchucks - hmm-hmm-ha!"

  As soon as he saw me, Sun Wukong continued to fabricate: "The fifth request is for the Song familys sound..."

  "Spicy... Spicy Girl... Spicy" — Sun Dasheng, damn it!

  When Jay Chous name was mentioned, the people behind thought they hadnt heard clearly and didnt know which new great god this Mr. Zhou was. But Song Zi and others heard it clearly, especially after this sentence of hot girl, let alone the relatives and friends of the Sun family behind, even the usually calm Uncle Sun Liancheng couldnt sit still, the old man directly jumped up from his chair, pointing at me and Sun Baozi with a trembling finger and shouting loudly: "Cut them off!"

  "Boom!" With a loud noise, almost all the Sun family members, regardless of male or female, rushed over. Just as they were about to rush in front of me and Sun Baozi, the foxs head re-emerged from Sun Lianchengs mouth. This time I was prepared, and just as it poked its head out, I stretched out my hand and grabbed the foxs neck in a flash, pulling it upwards and yanking the entire fox out of Sun Lianchengs mouth.

  The moment I pulled out the fox, my other hand had already drawn the guilty sword from behind my waist and stabbed it into the foxs heart in an instant. With a swift stroke downwards, the whole thing fell to the ground. The fox struggled with its four legs in mid-air, but could not resist, and finally let out a miserable cry "Ah!"

  This cry was not only heard by me and Sun Baozi, but also by the crowd of Suns family who had rushed to our front. The few people in the front row were so frightened that they sat on the ground, and then everyone saw a dead fox appear in my hand.
