Nine years of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty.

This year was the year when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, ascended the throne and became the famous Tang Taizong in later generations.

This year is also the year when Zhou Hongxian traveled to the Tang Dynasty and became a red fox on Taibai Mountain.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas? There are clouds in the Great Wilderness North Classic: "In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain name that is not salty, and there is the country of the Su Shen clan. "Before the Jin Dynasty, this mountain was called Buxian Mountain, and in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was also called Tutai Mountain, Taihuang Mountain, and then in the Tang Dynasty, it was called Taibai Mountain.

Taibai Mountain, in fact, is today's Changbai Mountain.

At this time, Zhou Hongxian was still lying on the edge of the waterfall in a daze, looking at his face in the water, which resembled Bomei's body shape, and his heart was at a loss.

The white fox, who was lying lazily basking in the sun on the big rock, said quietly, "Why have you been sullen? ”

Zhou Hongxian only raised his eyelids, too lazy to answer.

"Are you wondering why you're a fox and not something else?"

Zhou Hongxian looked up at the white fox in surprise and found that the white fox was also looking at him, but the fox's face showed a strange smile that looked like a human at this time: "Did I say yes?" In fact, not only foxes, but any living being will have such doubts when they first start their minds, they will wonder where they came from and where they are going, or remember what they have done all these years as beasts! Are you thinking about these things at this time, are you ashamed of your old muddy? ”

Zhou Hongxian thought to himself: "I'm ashamed of a yarn? I don't remember what my body has done before, I only remember what happened when I was a human being! He said, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

The white fox smiled: "What do I want to say?" I'm showing you the way, little fox, first you have to figure out what you want? ”

Zhou Hongxian didn't want to say authentically: "I want to be a man!" ”

"Okay, if you want to be a man, that's it! If you want to be a human being, prove that you have something in your heart, and if you ask for something, you will want to practice, and only when you practice at home can you become a human being, and even become an immortal in the end! ”

Zhou Hongxian was a little unconvinced: "How do I feel like you are engaged in pyramid schemes!" ”

The white fox was stunned: "What is a pyramid scheme?" I'm preaching to you! ”

Zhou Hongxian said: "Then the preaching has a hair-what's the use? ”

The white fox was a little angry: "I told you so much just now, it's all for nothing, right?" I've never seen a fox as stupid as you! ”

Zhou Hongxian said disappreciably: "Since you say so, does that mean that you have already attained the Tao?" ”

The white fox said with some pride: "That's nature!" ”

"There is no basis for your words, you become a person and show me!"

The white fox sneered twice, got up from the big stone and spun around, and a cloud of mist suddenly condensed around its body, and the cloud and mist dispersed, and then an old man walked out of it. The old man has white hair, wears a white costume robe, his hair is tied up, and a wooden hairpin is inserted on it, he looks like an old teacher in a costume TV series, but there is no trace of kindness between the old man's eyebrows and eyes, but is full of a trace of cunning and agility.

Zhou Hongxian lay in a big groove in his heart, thinking that this was not Crazy Zootopia, but chatting! He immediately pleaded with the old man, "Lord Fox Fairy, please teach me how to become a human!" ”

The old man smiled: "You want to become a human at this time?" ”

Zhou Hongxian nodded his fox head vigorously.

"Hehe, delusional!"

Zhou Hongxian said angrily: "Everyone is a fox, why can you change it, but I can't change it?" ”

"Heh, and a temper, but is this the attitude of asking?"

Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately obediently lowered his head: "Lord Fox Fairy, please teach me!" ”

The old man stroked his beard: "The son can be taught!" But it's not that I don't want to teach you, but that you are just starting to be enlightened at this time, and you have almost no Taoism, and it is absolutely impossible to change into an adult! ”

Zhou Hong said in his heart: "Trick me, right?" But he asked, "How deep is it to practice the Tao, and how long will it take?" ”

The old man glanced at him and said, "What's the hurry, listen to me slowly!" ”

Zhou Hongxian didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to wait respectfully for the old man to speak.

"We are like foxes, different from mortal cultivators, we only need chance, we need to go through three tribulations, but if there is one calamity, we will die!"

"One of them is called the human tribulation, after we wait for the beginning of the spiritual wisdom, we will encounter it when we are about 100 years old, and after the human tribulation, we can cultivate into a human body. But at this time, there is a weakness, that is, the foxtail is difficult to hide, and even mortals are difficult to deceive! ”

"The second is the earth tribulation, about three hundred years old, after the earth tribulation, you can use some eye blocking methods, such as many changes, such as five ghosts to move wealth, but at this time the fox tail is still difficult to hide, can only be used to hide the eyes of mortals, if you meet the Taoist, there is a possibility of being identified and killed!"

"The third is called the Heavenly Tribulation, which was encountered at the age of about 600, and after the Heavenly Tribulation, it can be reborn, not only can it use real spells, such as turning stones into gold, calling for wind and rain, but also really hiding the fox's tail! At that time, as long as you don't do evil, even if you meet someone who has attained the Tao, they will generally not embarrass you anymore, and you can walk freely in the world, just like an earth immortal! ”

Finally, the old man looked at Zhou Hongxian and said, "Do you understand?" ”

Zhou Hongxian listened to the clouds, but he understood at least one thing, which was also what he cared about, he said: "You mean to say that I will live to be a hundred years old, and I can only become an adult after the human tribulation, right?" ”

The old man nodded: "Yes! ”

Zhou Hongxian said: "How long will it take?" ”

The old man was surprised: "You have opened your mind, can't you even remember your age?" ”

Zhou Hongxian shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

The old man said angrily: "You are really a stupid fox, how can we foxes have such an alien as you?" ”

"Can I know where?" Zhou Hongxian secretly complained in his heart, but he said respectfully: "Please advise the fox fairy!" ”

"Everyone is a fox, don't call me a fox fairy in the future, call me a fox elder! Let me tell you, as a descendant of the fox clan, I have watched you grow up since you were born, you are no more and no less this year, just sixty years old! ”

After hearing this, Zhou Hongxian was surprised: "Then I have to wait another forty years to regain my human appearance?" ”

The fox elder glanced at him again: "You are so looking forward to what people are doing, if you don't have that blessing, then you will live to the end!" He wanted to say something more, but at this time, there was a sudden roar of wild beasts in the forest sea, and Zhou Hongxian asked: "What is this thing calling, it sounds weird!" ”

The old fox said angrily: "This is the fox song, you stupid fox, you yourself can't recognize such a scream?" ”

Zhou Hongxian shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

The fox elder then said: "This must be something happening in the fox clan, the fox king is gathering all the foxes, as a member of the fox clan, don't go quickly!" ”

Zhou Hongxian suddenly asked, "You are also a fox, why don't you go?" ”

The fox was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't have to go, but I can't go, I was drawn as a prison here, and Tianchi Waterfall is my cell!" Don't say anything else, go quickly, otherwise the fox king will be angry, and you won't be enough to die with a hundred lives! ”

Zhou Hongxian was taken aback, thinking to himself, is it so serious? However, when he first came here, he did not dare to hold it up, so he had to listen to the old fox's words, and he opened his legs—oh no, four legs, and ran towards the place where the fox chirped in the forest.

And after Zhou Hongxian left, the fox elder turned back into a fox body, it crawled on the big stone, looked at the direction of Zhou Hongxian's running, couldn't help but shake his head, and finally said to himself: "Obviously the most beautiful red fox in our fox class, but it's stupid enough to look like this, hey, I really have to ask for a lot of blessings in the future!" At this time, however, its voice was not like that of an old man, but clear, low, and magnetic, sounding like a male announcer on a radio station in later generations.
