Chapter 1: The Secret in the Bamboo Basket

Next Chapter

On the land full of vitality, there is a group of continuous mountains located in the country of Qingqiu, although in the world, it belongs to the spiritual realm, and it is evergreen in the mountains for dozens of miles, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, precious medicinal materials and rare animals thrive in it. In a gentle valley there are five wooden houses.

All the wooden houses were made of half-meter-thick tree trunks. There are various small branches of different thicknesses inserted in the gaps, and they look very delicate. Occasionally, you can see small animals painted by children on the walls with black stones.

The courtyard is enclosed by a three-meter-high fence. Presumably to stop the beasts of the mountains. There were some greens planted in the fence wall, and there were a few chickens in the chicken coop next to it, a large rooster with feathers all the time, and four docile hens. In the upper room of one of the wooden houses there was a round chimney standing upright, and wisps of green smoke rose from it. Five children, four women and one boy, frolicked in the courtyard.

A handsome girl came out of the chimney room with a bamboo basket on her back, and the green smoke began to disappear gradually. She is wearing a coarse cloth shirt, is 1.3 meters tall and is just seven years old this year. She stood in the courtyard and sighed, and finally finished putting away the dishes and chopsticks. The other three girls watched her idle, biting their ears and discussing something.

Suddenly, the three girls surrounded her at the same time, and the girl with the bamboo basket on her back ran back and forth in the yard to dodge, and the other three girls kept tugging at the bamboo basket behind her.

The girl with the bamboo basket on her back has eyes like stars and moons, red lips and white teeth. The slightly pursed mouth looked a little naughty, and she pinched her waist with both hands and said angrily: "Shu Wei! You are still the eldest sister! If you take them to bully me again, I will tell my father!"

Shu Wei is the oldest of the children. She was dressed in a light pink silk dress, with a pearl hairpin studded with red gems on her head, pointing at her back domineeringly, and said a little domineeringly: "Shushu! What are you carrying a broken bamboo basket all day long? I really want to see what delicious food is hidden in the broken bamboo basket you have to carry when you sleep? Or is it funny, I don't want to share it with our sisters!"

Shu Shu's eyes suddenly became a lot darker, she bit her lip and said helplessly: "Good sister, this is really not something delicious, let alone a fun thing, I beg you, don't look at it...... Otherwise, my father will scold me. ”

Shu Wei stood there pinching her waist and pointed to the bamboo basket behind Shu Shu and shouted, "Shu Yao, Shu Xian, you two will work with me to get her bamboo basket down!

The two girls next to each other glanced at each other and walked towards Shu Shu with a grin. In fact, they have long been curious about why Shu Shu has to carry a bamboo basket every day, and now it happens that his father and mother are not around, so they can take a look.

The three of them squeezed Shu Shu into a small corner, and Shu Wei grabbed the bamboo basket and pulled it hard!

They wanted to laugh, but before they could laugh, their expressions were fixed on their faces. The bundle in front of him had turned into a snow-white fox, and nine snow-white tails were swinging in the air. Her dark eyes were very bright but a little more sorrowful, and she scratched her big white tail with her front paws and said, "Okay, okay, now you see what is in my bamboo basket? When Daddy comes back, I will say that you dragged my bamboo basket, not myself." See how Daddy punishes you. ”

The three girls glanced at each other, Shu Wei stepped forward and pulled Shu Shu and said with a smile: "Good sister, how did we know that you had so many tails behind your back, I thought it was fun or delicious! Okay, don't be angry, we all know that you are the best." Don't tell Daddy. ”

Shu Shu glanced at her and pouted and said, "I told you that it wasn't delicious, hey, now that the tail comes out, what should I do?"

The three girls laughed, and in an instant, the three girls also turned into three foxes, and they snuggled up to Shu Shu's side and looked at these nine tails, which was very rare, and they all rubbed around Shu Shu's tail curiously.

"Shu Zhu, it's so funny that you guy has so many tails hidden......"

"It's like, we're all one tail, you have so many tails, it looks so funny, you can't be a cat, right? Nine lives?......"

"Why are such fun tails hidden in a bamboo basket? Can't you put them away with a spell?"

Shu Shu looked at them helplessly, after turning into a human form, the nine tails were still stubbornly growing on the buttocks, floating around, she pouted and put the bamboo basket behind her back, and put her tails in one by one. Then he slowly spoke: "You all hurry up and become people, and when the old man and mother come back, you should be scolded again......"

The three cute little foxes immediately turned into three cute and beautiful little girls. They kept chattering around the bundle of questions that had already been asked. They all watched around her bamboo basket.

There were no less than a hundred foxes living in this valley, and they had seen them all with fur of all colors. But I have never seen a fox with nine tails. I saw just now that even her ears looked more graceful than other foxes.

Shu Shu suddenly sighed and said, "Hello, don't say it again...... I don't want that either. But my dad said that I was different, that by the time I was seven years old, I would have nine tails, and that my mana was too weak to hide so many tails, and that it was easy to expose myself. If the hunter who caught the fox saw me, it would be over, so my father made me a bamboo basket and told me to put my tail in and carry it on my back...... I'm miserable enough, and you're still making fun of me......"

Shu Wei immediately smiled and brought the other two little girls around and said, "You still look very cute with so many tails...... There's nothing wrong with that, when we've practiced enough, we'll go to the mountains and catch a little elf for you to come back, eating an elf can enhance your mana. It won't be long before you'll be able to hide your tail with mana. ”

Shu Shu's tightly frowning brows immediately relaxed, she looked at Shu Wei with anticipation, smiled and took her hand and asked happily, "Is this true? Can you really use mana to put away the tail? What kind of elf do you want to catch to be effective?"

Shu Wei took her hand off her arm, then patted her silk sleeve and nodded: "Of course this is true, don't you know that eating elves can increase cultivation, but don't eat meat, at our age, we can't continue to practice, we will become fox demons!"

As soon as the word fox demon was mentioned, the three smaller girls immediately retreated in fright, they had seen the fox demon. The sharp claws and vicious eyes made people feel creepy at a glance, so they didn't want to become like that.

Shu Shu took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "I heard my grandfather tell the story of the Heavenly Fox, I think we can all cultivate into the Heavenly Fox in the future!"

Shu Wei immediately laughed at her and said: "Tianhu, sister Xiaozhu, don't be delusional, do you know that there is not a single Tianhu in thousands of years, and our grandfather has never seen what Tianhu looks like, and he still wants to cultivate into a Tianhu, and we are already very content to cultivate into a fox immortal." ”

Shu Xian also nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Zhu, if you want to cultivate into a heavenly fox, it is not enough to rely on hard work, but also depends on the opportunity." We are very happy that we can cultivate into fox immortals, father and mother. ”

Shu Shu looked at Shu Xian, who didn't talk very well on weekdays, and lowered her head when she said this, she looked at the ground and said with some embarrassment: "If we can't cultivate the Heavenly Fox, it doesn't matter, we will definitely be able to cultivate into a fox immortal, and then we can have supreme mana to defend our Qingqiu." What a glorious thing that is......"

Shu Wei laughed and said: "Xiaozhu, you still want to think about how to catch elves and increase your cultivation, you can't even put away your tail and say that you are a fox fairy to protect Qingqiu, and if you say big things, the wind blows and blows your tongue away......"

The three girls laughed, and Shu Shu sighed helplessly as she looked at the green trees on the mountain and the sun on the branches. She knew that what they said was right, and now she hadn't even restrained her tail, and she was still saying big things to protect Qingqiu.

A crisp voice remembered: "Are you bullying Sister Zhu again?"
