Speaking of fox spirits, everyone may immediately think of the nine-tailed fox incarnate.

The jade-faced fairy girl is a nine-tailed jade-faced Xuanhu spirit, and was finally subdued by Lu Dongbin and cut off her eight tails. In fact, the fox spirit first appeared in the image of auspiciousness.

When Dayu, who controls the water, arrived at Tushan, he met a nine-tailed white fox, and later incarnated as a girl, named Nujiao, and married Dayu.

Dayu married the daughter of the nine-tailed white fox Tu Shan clan as his wife and gave birth to the first generation of monarchs of the Xia Dynasty.

The Chinese people worshipped foxes in the early days, which also stemmed from the concept of "animism" in primitive society.

The world worships it as a totem, an elf, and can cultivate immortals, the so-called "the old man of things, its essence is a human".

The nine-tailed fox can transform into a beautiful man and a beautiful woman, turning all beings upside down, and it is said that each tail has different mana.

It is recorded in the text: The fox is fifty years old, can change into a woman, a hundred years old for a beauty, a god and a witch, or for a husband to hand over to a woman, and can know thousands of miles of foreign affairs. Good charm, make people confused and demented, Chitose is with the sky, for the sky fox.

There is also a saying that "the nine-tailed golden fox of the sky is served in the Sun and Moon Palace, and there is a charm and a Jiao day, and it can reach yin and yang".

It is rumored that the fox can cultivate into a fine and turn into a human form, with great magical powers, and if humans are disrespectful to it, they will bewitch people and will suffer from it.

The people worship the fox fairy to avoid disasters and pray for peace. Later, the wind of worshipping fox fairies prevailed, and the legend of fox spirits was widely spread in the world.

The people are troubled by the fox god, and the sacrifices in the house are begging for favor, and the food and drink are the same as the people, and the people are not the same master. At that time, there was a proverb: No fox charm, no village.

The status of the fox is the most respected, and it has become one of the auspicious ones along with the dragon, the unicorn, and the phoenix, which is probably related to the fact that people like to go around and set up with immortals.

Others conclude that foxes have three virtues: a soft coat that conforms to the golden mean, a small front and a large back, which conforms to the order of respect and inferiority, and a head facing their own cave when they die, not forgetting their roots.

Following the right path, the fox spirit that cultivates and obtains results is usually called a fox fairy, on the contrary, the one who sucks the blood of people and practices in this way is called a fox demon.

Legend has it that when the fox demon gets drunk, it will show its tail. According to folk legends, the fox also has considerable wisdom, and will also practice the Taoist technique of tuna to cultivate himself, and after having considerable skills, he can transform the fox body into a human body, and he can cultivate the positive fruit, and he is included in the immortal class, which is called the fox fairy.

When the fox immortal cultivates, in addition to absorbing the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth, it also has to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, so when it cultivates the inner pill, it must face the moon at night, use a standing posture of a person, breathe into the air, and absorb the essence of the moon.

The fox is under the moon, looking up at the sky. When you exhale, there is a pill that comes out of your mouth and goes straight into the middle of the moon. When practicing the pill for the moon, it is easy to misunderstand that it is worshipping the moon from a distance.

This is exactly what the fox is practicing.

According to the Daomen, the inner Dan is the art of spitting and guiding, and the outer Dan is the art of refining the covenant of the Dan furnace.

And when the Tuna Technique is cultivated to a point, the energy in the body can be condensed and crystallized, like a golden pill in the body.

Legend has it that the inner pill of the fox fairy can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and eating it can increase the thousand-year-old Taoism, in addition, it also has the effect of resurrecting the dead, but if the fox spirit loses its own inner dan, it will lose all its power and return to its original form.

So how can a fox cultivate into a fine and an immortal?

To cultivate immortals, we must pay attention to fate, and second, we must pay attention to aura. Because the spirituality of the fox in the animal kingdom is first-class, there are many animals that have cultivated to perfection, and the one who is the best at it and the most likely to succeed in cultivation is the fox.

The characters are different, the fox is between the characters, the light is different, and the fox is between the light. The fairy and the demon have different paths, and the fox is between the fairy and the demon, so it is said that the fox is strange, and it is also common to meet the fox.

That is, foxes are between humans and animals, yin and yang, and fairy demons, that is, they are the closest to humans mentally, so they are most likely to succeed in cultivation.

Fox becoming a sperm is a long and complicated process.

If you can't cultivate in this life, you will continue to cultivate after reincarnation, and it can be said that the fox will become a spirit or an immortal, and it will take many generations of reincarnation and cultivation to succeed.

Their cultivation should be the cultivation of the soul and behavior, that is, the renunciation of evil and the practice of good, to do more good deeds in the world, and to actively help or benefit all sentient beings.

The spirituality of foxes is manifested in the fact that they know chance and coincidence.

Some people understand that they need to rely on external forces to help and cultivate, such as absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to attain the Tao in order to become immortals.

Legend has it that foxes have to go through at least 500 years of cultivation before they can take on a human form, such as a stunning beauty or a white-bearded old man.

They tend to hide in the shade to rest during the day, and when they come out at night, their eyes will emit a faint green light at night, which is the main manifestation of cultivating into refinement.

Only those who have been constantly tempered can finally become fox spirits, and those who continue to cultivate can become fox immortals.

So how does the fox fairy cultivate?

Some people say that it takes a long time to spit out the old and accept the new after a long day, month, and night. That is to say, the fox has to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for a long time before it can finally attain the Tao and become an immortal.

As for the fox immortals after they have become adults, they are also divided into levels and levels, which requires the length of time they have cultivated themselves and the opportunity for self-cultivation.

Every time a certain Taoist was a friend of an ordinary fox spirit, every time the fox spirit chatted with him, he always advised him to cultivate the Tao, saying, "We have worked hard for one or two hundred years before we can cultivate into human bodies, and experience food and drink, men and women, birth, old age, sickness and death like you human beings." Only then can you continue to cultivate to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You are now a human body, which is equivalent to most of your success, and you are still so muddy, you would rather die with the grass and trees, which is a pity. ”

Regarding the process of cultivation and upgrading, as well as the advantages of human beings over fox spirits, there is a saying that "fox students persuade people to cultivate immortals". That is, the fox is the most difficult to learn immortals. Learn the human form first, and then learn the human language. Those who learn the language of birds must learn the language of birds first, and those who learn the language of birds must learn the language of birds from all over the world and Kyushu; they can do anything, and then they can speak for people and take on the form of a human being, which has been a merit for 500 years. People learn immortals, and they have 500 years less work than heterogeneous immortals. If nobles and scribes learn immortals, they will save three hundred years of merit compared with mortals. The great rate of learning immortals, thousands of years to become, this theorem also. ”

In order for a fox to cultivate, it must first learn various bird languages, and then it can learn human language on this basis and transform into a human form, which will take five hundred years.

To put it simply, foxes have to struggle for five hundred years before they can drink tea with humans, and it is important to note that not all foxes are qualified to cultivate.

Only by passing the qualification examination can the fox cultivate immortals.

Taishan Niangniang holds a qualification exam every year, and only foxes who are proficient in arts and sciences can become students.

If you don't pass the test, you will be a wild fox, and you can't cultivate immortals. In other words, the cultivation of animals is included in the daily management system of the prefecture.

In addition to exams, laws and various rules and regulations also restrict the cultivation of fox spirits.

Therefore, there is a saying that "when there is a conflict between humans and foxes, humans plan to go to the land temple to sue the fox spirits".

The fox spirit once explained the constraints they were subjected to when cultivating: the most spiritual fox is to use the Taoist Inner Dan method to cultivate, "talk about the purpose of the dragon and tiger, ** convince the qi, bait the sun, moon and stars, and use the inner knotted golden pill";

If it weren't for Linghui, and he didn't dare to risk the punishment of heaven, he could only take advantage of people's sleep to absorb people's breath, just like bees collecting honey, which would not damage the flowers, and he could slowly level up.

The vixen must not only abide by the laws of heaven, but also respect the laws and authorities of the world.

There are white fox spirits who claim to be more than 1,000 years old, with white beard and hair, and often turn into human form, wear the same clothes as people, and mingle with people.

Because they are very familiar with each other, everyone thinks it is a white-bearded grandfather, and they don't think it's different.

Once the king came to ask for rain, and the vixen disappeared for several days, and did not reappear until the king returned to the palace.

Someone asked him, "Where can you hide when the king travels, with the protection of his ministers, and even the ditches and caves guarded by the gods?"

It smiled: "The monarch's move, the goblins in the entire north of the mountain have to be avoided, and I ran to Mount Tai to hide in the cave in one go." ”

For the management of fox spirits, there is "the fox is born with the qi of heaven and earth, which is originally a thing in the yang world, and its nature is yin, so it haunts impermanence and is unpredictable." God does not punish him, because he has not yet committed the sin of killing. However, in order to harm the people, the officials should drive them away. And do not know its nest, from the city of the city, and drive away, the fox has nothing to hide".

Although the Heavenly Realm allows foxes to cultivate, if they disturb the normal order of life in the world, the officials should punish them, and at the same time, the city gods in the underworld also need to cooperate with the laws of the world to abide by the law.

The cultivation of the fox spirit is not the same as the leveling of the game, in addition to the above rigid management system. Their own moral cultivation is also very necessary, and it can even be said that their emphasis on virtue is even stricter than that of human beings.
