When Xiao Yuan walked out of the night market, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and a thin layer of mist was shrouded in Xizi Lake. The West Lake in the dark has lost its charm during the day, and the black and oppressive lake water is very mysterious, and the bottom of the lake seems to have a mysterious power as if it is awe-inspiring.

Xiao Yuan walked slowly along the lakeside, where there were tourists carrying lanterns and scholars sitting on the ground. A few painting boats on the lake slowly moved forward, faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, it seemed to be "Man Tingfang", Xiao Yuan took out the roast chicken and ate it while walking, today's chicken legs are both tender and beautiful, Xiao Yuan was in a very good mood, hummed a few words, went out of tune very much, and it was so bad that he laughed at himself.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan heard a very soft laugh, it was the voice of a little boy. Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, but there was no one around, and he must have heard it wrong. After singing two more sentences, the child's laughter was extremely clear, and it sounded crisply behind him, and Xiao Yuan looked back and saw that there was no one.

Xiao Yuan yelled: "Who?" Seeing that there was no response, Xiao Yuan thought to himself which bear child must be playing tricks on himself, raised the chicken leg in his hand, took a big bite, and said viciously: "Laugh again, I'll bite your neck like this!"

When she returned to Yixian Pavilion, she had even chewed the chicken bones. She licked her hand contentedly and entered the door.

In the Yixian Pavilion as usual, the aroma of wine is coming, the spring is strong, and the guests and beauties are already drunk and hazy. Xiao Yuan walked upstairs.

Although the downstairs is noisy, the upstairs is very quiet, Xiao Yuan pushed the door open, wisps of smoke floated out of the copper tripod in the room, Xiao Yuan "Ah...... Yes...... Ahh

"Sister, you smoke such a strong incense again. It's floral, I love the one that was smoked with pears yesterday. It smells delicious, and it seems that everything in this room is delicious, even the tables and chairs. ”

A woman in the room put down the "Movement Collection" in her hand and raised her head. Although Xiao Yuan calls her sister, the two don't look like each other at all. Xiao Yuan is very ugly, with a roe head and a belly as big as a drum. The woman is very charming, her skin is like condensed fat, her eyes are like autumn water, and she has a charming body and a state of captivating the country and the city.

The beauty covered her mouth and smiled: "When will you become more elegant? Yesterday's smoked was called 'Jiangnan Li Main Account Incense', which is fruity, and today's is called 'Rejuvenating Plum', which is floral." It was created by the famous minister Han Qi and passed on by the university scholar Su Dongpo, which is very rare. ”

"Why should you be elegant? Wenya is not a roast chicken. According to me, Sister Yaoqing, you learn every day, and you have to learn everything, will you forget your roots?"

"I would rather be born as a human being, and it is better to be born more than a hundred years earlier so that I can meet Liu Lang. ”

Xiao Yuan chuckled: "If Liu Sanbian really saw you more than a hundred years ago, he would have to be scared to death, and you looked similar to me at that time......

It turned out that Xiao Yuan and the woman named Yaoqing were not humans, but two spirit foxes outside Zhenjiang City. A fox can become a woman at the age of fifty, a beauty at the age of a hundred, and a thousand miles away from the world. Every 100 years old to give birth to a tail, to a thousand years old ten tails and one tail, if you live to 10,000 years old can communicate with the sky, called "sky fox". This Xiao Yuan is exactly fifty years old, and he has just been able to transform into a human form, but Yaoqing is already three-tailed, and his mana is very high.

The place where the two foxes live is called Yinshan, and this Yinshan is buried with a celebrity, who is the "white-clothed prime minister" Liu Yong. For a hundred years, Yaoqing has often seen Qingming and New Year's Day, and the women of Qinglou near and far are dressed up beautifully, go to Liu Yong's tomb to pay respects, and hold a "hanging willow meeting". Three months ago, Xiao Yuan overheard rumors from the girls who participated in the "Hanging Willow Meeting" that "Cloud Pupil Beads" appeared in Lin'an Mansion, so Erhu decided to go down the mountain to find pearls.

The world only knows that the "Cloud Pupil Pearl" is an extremely precious and valuable night pearl, but they do not know its origin: fifteen years ago, the ancient treasure cloud pupil was shattered by thunder in Maoshan Mountain, and a very small fragment fell into the water and was swallowed by a giant mussel, and the pearl in the abdomen and the cloud pupil fragment dissolved into one, and then became the cloud pupil pearl. After the giant clam was caught by fishermen, the cloud pupil beads were resold and disappeared. If a cultivator eats this bead, he can immediately increase his thousand-year-old Taoism, rank in the immortal class, and be the treasure that everyone in the Three Realms strives for.

After going down the mountain, Yaoqing incarnated as a woman in the Qinglou, living in the place of Goolan, claiming to the outside world that she did not sell her body, and did not like gold and silver, but only loved pearls. Although she does not sell her body, she has been practicing Taoism for three hundred years, and with the beauty of the fox spirit and the charm of the blood and blood, the men of Lin'an City are fascinated and famous. Qing Yao also received a lot of pearls, but none of them were cloud pupil beads.

Yaoqing was anxious, Xiao Yuan was very comfortable, it was greedy by nature, except for satisfying the appetite, other things were extremely lazy, especially cultivation, often fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. It's good wine, and it has to drink a few glasses when you can't cultivate without the moon, and you have to drink a few glasses when the moon comes out to celebrate the moon. There are many delicious foods and wines in Lin'an City, and there are many Goulan Washes everywhere, Yaoqing sent her out to find out the whereabouts of the beads, and she walked around in Lin'an City from morning to night, eating not the same, playing not the same, every time she went out, she ate with a big belly and came back with a shiny face. Gradually the abdomen is half a foot wider. The skill is even worse, and the changing humanoid is neither human nor fox, and it is extremely ugly.

Yaoqing and Xiao Yuan's parents have returned to heaven, the two foxes depend on each other by chance, sisters are commensurate, Yaoqing loves Xiao Yuan very much, and it is not easy to scold her, when she sees her, she just shakes her head and sighs, there is nothing she can do.

Yaoqing saw Xiao Yuan teasing herself, and said angrily: "You have only been here for a few days, and the flamboyant tongue in the world learns very quickly." ”

Xiao Yuan said in a rough voice: "I don't want to learn people! Human beings are really cunning. Today, I went to the small shop where I am used to buying roast chicken, and the store actually sold the yellow finch I bought for 40 yuan for me!"

Yaoqing laughed while listening: "This store is really not kind, but buying low and selling high has always been the rule of doing business." And then you paid forty wen?"

"Naturally, no. Xiao Yuan was very proud: "I took a hundred wen to the young man who sold the yellow finch, and asked him to pickle eight yellow finches to Yixian Pavilion in a few days, co-author, co-author, co-author, co-author, co-author?"

"Less than thirteen wen. ”

Xiao Yuan remembered the names of those delicious dishes that the boy said, and his saliva flowed: "That boy will cook a lot of dishes! When we go home, we must bring this kid back." Sister, when are we going home?"

"Wait until you find the cloud pupil bead. ”

Xiao Yuan became irritable: "Sister, we have searched all over this Lin'an, Yun Tongzhu is afraid that she is not here, it is better to go home and rest for a few years before looking for it, of course, in addition to those many years, you have to catch a cook who can make roast chicken and make wine." I now have to walk with my tail between my legs every day, and my legs are bleeding and I am very tired.

Yaoqing smiled slightly: "You've only been tired for a few days? They human beings, from the time they were born, they have to learn to be a human with their tails between their legs, and they have to wear layers of masks to be human beings for the rest of their lives, and they will not take off until they die, isn't it much harder than you?"

Xiao Yuan pouted and said, "Then why do we still want to cultivate to adulthood?"

"Only by cultivating as an adult can you further cultivate into an immortal. ”

"I don't think there are many human beings who have become immortals. ”

Yaoqing didn't answer this question, and walked to the window: "Look at the splendid prosperity of this Lin'an Mansion, how can we imagine it in the mountains and wilderness and remote forests? Even if you can't become an immortal, it's not much better to live in this paradise on earth than in Yinshan?"

Xiao Yuan is rough and arrogant by nature, and always looks forward to returning to Yinshan to live a free and easy life, seeing Yaoqing's words, it seems that he is going to live here for a long time. opened his mouth wide, didn't know how to answer, and had the intention to divert the topic, so he shouted at the door: "Ah Huang, Ah Huang, come in!"

Outside the door, a turtle man trotted in and pushed the door in, and asked the beauty: "Miss Yaoqing, what do you want to tell the villain?"

Xiao Yuan beckoned, "Come here, let me see your tail." ”

Ah Huang said inexplicably: "What tail?"

Xiao Yuan grabbed behind him, and Ah Huang jumped up in pain: "Miss Xiao Yuan, why are you rude to the villain?"

Xiao Yuan frowned and said, "No?" and reached out to pull Ah Huang's face: "Let me see your mask." ”

Yaoqing is the big cash cow of Yixian Pavilion, Xiao Yuan's servant is the master, although Ah Huang is in tears, he doesn't dare to move: "Oh, my mother, it hurts the little one, what mistake did I make again?"

Xiao Yuan laughed when he saw his embarrassment.

Yaoqing lightly covered her jade face with a fan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, you are messing around again, let him go!"

Ah Huang wiped away the tears on his cheeks, changed his face in a blink of an eye, and chuckled: "Miss Yaoqing, there is a Ji Gongzi from Lingnan, I heard that the girl loves pearls, and she specially brought the treasure 'Cloud Pupil Pearl' to meet her, and she is waiting in the side hall now, will the girl see it?"

Xiao Yuan and Yaoqing exclaimed at the same time, "What did you say?"

Yaoqing immediately realized her gaffe, and asked in a whisper, "Is it Yun Tongzhu?"

Ah Huang shook his head: "What Ji Gongzi gave to the girl, how can the little one be blessed?" I heard Ji Gongzi say that this jewel bead is full of diameter, the light at night is as bright as the moon shining indoors, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is very comfortable to put in the hall. ”

Xiao Yuanwei screamed and was about to go downstairs.

Yaoqing hurriedly grabbed her, Ah Huang only felt that the black shadow flashed twice in front of him, thinking that he was dazzled, and looked closely, Yaoqing and Xiao Yuan were still standing in place.

Yaoqing said softly: "Then you can invite Ji Gongzi to go upstairs to see you." ”
