Chapter 6 The first sight of the bridge
When the white fox heard this, he only felt new and interesting, and said with a smile: "This red-clothed Taishang Zhenren is really a person of temperament, but it is all wrong, even if it falls into the red dust, it will be a disappointment in the end." ”
Xian Dao asked, "What do you say?" ”
The white fox smiled and said, "I have practiced hard for thousands of years, read all kinds of life, and those stories of the wind and moon are all used by the storyteller to deceive people." Throughout the ages, all over the world, men are thin, and women are vulgar. Men and women, empty and lonely, drunk and dreaming of death, are all vain. The old way of life is indifferent to the love of the world. When the affection is like the depths of the sea, there is a new love and forgets the old love. It is difficult to buy true affection for a thousand dollars, and there is no money, no power, no kissing. Affectionate and hateful since ancient times, good dreams are the easiest to wake up. ”
Hearing this, Xiandao nodded and said, "Very much! Although you are a fox, you understand it more thoroughly than those red dust dreamers. I went down to earth this time to find the immortal body of a real person and bring him back to the heaven of hatred, so that he would not sink. ”
The white fox thought for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "If the immortal does not give up, the little immortal is willing to do his best to help you find the real person." I have many friends in Fanchen, such as Yellow Immortals, White Immortals, Willow Immortals, and Gray Immortals, all of which can help. Although they are not listed in the immortal class, they have great abilities in the world. ”
Xiandao hesitated for a moment, noncommittal, thinking that this white fox was willing to help, but it was not bad, after all, it was inconvenient for him to walk in the world.
The white fox asked again: "One day in the sky, one year on the earth, how long has the real person fallen into the mortal dust?" How old should I be this year? What are the characteristics of the immortal body? ”
Immortal Dao pinched his fingers and said, "The real person should be fifteen years old this year. As for the features...... Real people like red, and they will have a red birthmark after reincarnation. In addition, the common name of the real person in the mortal world also has a red letter. ”
The white fox smiled: "This is simple, I will let the yellow fairy and the gray fairy go door to door to investigate." ”
Immortal Dao knew that the yellow fairy and gray fairy in the mouth of the white fox were weasels and rat spirits, and he hurriedly said: "Don't frighten the people. ”
The white fox said: "Don't worry, the little fairy has his own measure, just wait for the good news!" ”
Xian Dao pondered for a while, and then said: "You and I are looking for it separately, I have a bottle of potion, if you find a real person first, be sure to let him drink it." As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, and in an instant, a white light appeared, and a glittering glass vase came into being.
The white fox took the treasure bottle, and he didn't know what the miraculous effect of the immortal's potion was, so he couldn't help but ask: "Shangxian, what will happen if you drink this potion?" ”
Xiandao shook his head slightly, and said: "This potion is called the water of forgetfulness and hatred, mortals who drink it will fall asleep for three days, and real people who drink it will be able to wake up from the dream of red dust, transcend the earthly world, get rid of the mortal womb, and return to the heaven of hatred." The real person is in his youth, and if he is delayed in the red dust for a long time, the six dusts will be filled with six roots. If you are unfortunate enough to fall into the poison of lust, the pain of lovesickness, wishful thinking, and lingering, the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save it. Therefore, this matter must be cut through the mess quickly. ”
The white fox was greatly surprised, holding the treasure bottle in his hand and looking left and right, only to hear the fairy Dao Lang say: "Stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival, you and I will meet here." In any case, I will keep my promise and help you break through the shackles of the world. After speaking, the fairy road fluttered away.
The white fox bowed to each other, and couldn't help but rejoice, sighing at today's unexpected fate. She suddenly thought of something important, and hurriedly shouted: "Shangxian, is the Lingshan Immortal Palace Taishang Zhenren a man or a woman?" ”
However, the immortal path has long gone, and there is no trace of it. She walked to the lake and saw her own reflection, an ugly woman. She shook her head and smiled: "It's really indecent to see a real person like this." Suddenly, the reflection of a young girl appeared on the surface of the lake, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like apricots, in the spring mountains such as jade, the clear spring was like a murmuring mountain forest, like a touch of color on the horizon, which was extraordinarily bright and moving.
The white fox saw the beautiful posture in the water, and kept fiddling with it, indulging in his own beauty. She put the water of forgetfulness and hatred in her arms, and swaggered towards Fog City.
It is already a fragrant day in April in the world, and there is a beautiful spring along the way. As far as the eye can see, the peach and willow are green, the mountain flowers are about to burn, the warblers are dancing and the swallows are dancing, and the warm wind is wrapped in the faint fragrance of flowers and plants blowing gently.
Entering the city, standing on the arched bridge in the center of the city and looking around, the market is bustling and populated. Suddenly, there was a fortune teller sitting at the head of the bridge, who was about forty years old, short in stature, dressed in a gray robe, with a pointed face and round eyes, and a two-handed-figure mustache.
The white fox looked the fortune teller up and down, suddenly rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and smiled. But seeing that there were more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes in front of this person's stall, he said: "Mr. is a good man, he can predict the future, can help people find lost things, and can also help people bring treasures to others, and he is really the living god of wealth in the world." ”
The fortune teller squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "Come one by one." I am the reincarnation of the real person of the cave Xuanling Bao, the eye of heaven has been opened, and I have insight into the universe, as long as I pinch my fingers, I can know five hundred years and five hundred years. ”
The white fox stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's too real person, the little woman has seen the ceremony!" Please do a fortune for the little girl. ”
The fortune teller said in a muffled voice: "Bring the eight characters of the birthday." The white fox smiled: "My birthday is long." The fortune teller looked up and met the white fox. When he arrived, the fortune teller's face changed greatly, and he got up and waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Don't disturb peers! Don't disturb peers! ”
The white fox smiled and said in a low voice: "Gray Fairy, you are quite decent. ”
The fortune teller looked panicked, hurriedly cleaned up, and shouted: "Closed the stall, closed the stall!" Today's hour has come, the heavenly opportunity must not be revealed, and this celestial deity is going to retreat. Without waiting for the crowd to reply, he picked up a stack of his head and ran away.
The white fox stopped him and said with a smile: "Gray Fairy, don't run, I'm really here to tell the fortune." I promised an errand, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse? ”
The fortune teller said angrily: "I count fortune, you seduce a man, let's interlace like a mountain." ”
The white fox frowned, and said in a low voice: "If you don't help me, I will tell the people here that you are a rat spirit, specializing in stealing other people's granaries and ingots, and you stole everything that everyone lost!" ”
This fortune teller is not a real person, but a rat spirit who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and he lurks in the warehouse all year round, day and night, and his traces are unpredictable. However, this rat spirit does have the ability to predict the past, and if someone has a good relationship with him, he will help him steal the ingots. It's just that the white fox never expected that behind this rat's fine cultivation, he would set up a stall to do a fortune-telling business, and he thought it was really interesting, so he couldn't help but joke with him.
The gray fairy couldn't be entangled, so he said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
The white fox moved and whispered, "I want you to help me find someone." ”
The gray fairy asked, "What kind of man are you looking for?" ”
The white fox snorted and said in a muffled voice: "I'm not rare to be a man. The person I want you to help me find is the red-clothed Taishang Zhenren who hates the Heavenly Lingshan Immortal Palace. ”
When the gray fairy heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Immortal, I advise you not to provoke, aren't you afraid that the immortal will beat you back to your original form?" Your thousand-year-old ascetic practice is not easy to come by, and you must not mess with it. ”
The white fox knew that he didn't believe it and didn't bother to argue, so he told him about his adventure in the fairy road.
When the gray immortals heard this, they felt unheard of, and they practiced in the mortal world, and their long-cherished wish in life was to cultivate into an immortal body, ranking in the immortal class, who had ever heard that the immortals in the sky had to go down to earth to suffer. Although he felt absurd, he didn't dare to slack off, pinched his fingers, and lowered his head to think about it for a long time.
The white fox said: "Where can you count the real person?" ”
The gray fairy asked, "Do you know whether a real person is reincarnated as a male or a female?" ”
The white fox shook his head blankly.
Gray Immortal Zhengse said: "The local people are all people in the market, ordinary people, immortals will never be reincarnated in general, looking at the fog city, only one family surnamed Bai is a wang family, with a great ancestral style, and a deep understanding of etiquette and righteousness." The lord of this family is a former detective, who once served as a hand-picked patrol according to the imperial history, and is an official and upright, and a first-class character of a fairy. However, he was not flexible, offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and was dismissed. The Bai family is not engaged in production, and the business disdains flies and dogs, and gradually there is no longer the situation of the past. This old man is now half a hundred years old, poor and sick, and has only one son under his knees, fifteen years old, surnamed Hongyan. ”
When the white fox heard this, he said happily: "There is a red letter in the name, it is this person!" ”
The gray fairy said: "There is another family, which is a new star here......"
The white fox was impatient and interjected: "Thank you, Brother Mouse!" I'm going to visit the Bai family! ”
The gray fairy hurriedly said: "Slow! Don't be presumptuous! Although you are deeper than me, you are not as sophisticated as me. In the past, when the old man of the Bai family was glorious, his family was like a market, and everyone in the neighborhood and alley wanted to get close to his family, but now his family has lost its power, people go to tea and cool, relatives and friends avoid it, and no one wants to interact with his family. The Bai family is often deserted, and if you come to the door suddenly with a strange woman, you are not afraid that people will suspect that you are a vixen? ”
The white fox was stunned for a moment, undeniable, and said, "So what?" There is no delay in this matter! ”
The gray fairy looked the white fox up and down, and said with a smile: "Every day Bai Gongzi must pass through this bridge, you are born charming, and Bai Gongzi is the age of Sichun, it is better to take the bait with a wish." As he spoke, he moved to the white fox's ear and whispered in his ear.
When the white fox heard this, he smiled: "This method is wonderful!" ”
The next day, the white fox sat at the head of the bridge in a tulle dress, pretending to cry, and suddenly let out a wail. Passers-by passed by, puzzled, and asked, "Why is the girl crying here alone, and where are her parents?" ”
The white fox wiped his tears and replied with pretended pity: "My parents are businessmen, and when I passed through here, I met a robber, the goods were robbed, and my father and mother were killed. ”
The businessmen saw that she was as beautiful as a fairy, charming and moving, and they were all moved. Some gave her clothes, some gave her money, and invited her to live at home. In an instant, the entire arch bridge was overcrowded. The white fox and the gray fairy looked at each other in amazement, and looked around, where can they still find the white prince?
This matter is getting worse and worse, and some people want to forcibly take away the white fox and occupy it. The white fox was anxious and angry, and turned around and scolded: "Your bad idea! "However, the gray fairy is long gone. She hurriedly cast a big illusion, and in an instant, a white light appeared, and everyone couldn't help but cover their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, the white fox jumped into the lake and fled.
One day later, the white fox came back to his senses and thought to himself, everyone in the world is greedy for beauty, so he didn't get anything yesterday.
So, the white fox turned around and turned into a ragged beggar. She came to the bridge again, and the plan was repeated, and she sat on the side of the road and wept. Passers-by saw that it was a sloppy beggar, and no one took care of it, so after a few days, only some leftovers were delivered.
On this day, the sunset hangs in the west, the moon is on the tip, it rains misty, the moonlight on the lotus pond under the bridge, and the fish play with the lotus. The white fox was so disappointed that she couldn't help but look at the lake under the bridge, and in the reflection, she suddenly saw a white-clothed figure standing in front of her.
As soon as the white fox turned around, he saw that it was a young man, with phoenix eyes and high nose on his immature face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a red spot in the center of his eyebrows, he was a completely beautiful man, and the white fox couldn't help but look stunned.
I only heard the young man say warmly: "Little brother, if you don't go home so late, is there no place to live?" ”
