Chapter 2: First encounter with the North Poppy

Looking at it, the upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and the moon became more and more blurred.

I slept in a daze, and I felt like I was being picked up.

Frightened to wake up for a while, the sound of heartbeat and water mixed with each other.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and saw a man dressed in white, otherworldly, with apricot eyes like autumn water, with a high and soft nose, as if he did not eat the fireworks of the world.

The moonlight shines on his side face, warm as jade, and even more unparalleled in the world, my brother is already flying in Qingqiu, handsome, he is more handsome than his brother, more gentle, the breeze blows the hair, so that people can't take their eyes off, slender fingers are gently caressing my body.

I just stared at him blankly, if it was a human body now, it would definitely be drooling.

He said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Little fox, what's wrong?"

Then he pulled a white handkerchief from his sleeve and tied it to my injured foot.

Shaoyan, he said: "There are few multi-tailed foxes like you in the world, you come with me, and you will stay with you after you recover."

I looked at his face and rubbed my head gratefully against the hem of his shirt.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, only to see an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just let him hold it, but in fact, he didn't have the ability to escape. He was very gentle with my injured foot, for fear that it would hurt it when I walked.

After a long time, I tried to look outside through his arm. It should be the hour, the sun shines on a big stone door, the stone door is engraved with "midnight", but there is no extra decoration next to it, it looks neat and generous.

He raised his right hand and waved, and the stone door opened, but after entering, there was another world. The first thing that catches your eye is a lotus pond, all kinds of colors, in full bloom, and the lotus leaves in the middle are spraying mist like a fountain. In the middle of the lotus pond is a stone paved road, he walked into it slowly, the fragrance of flowers was fragrant, and it immediately made people feel refreshed.

After passing the lotus pond, I saw a woman dressed in green hurrying towards her, and only when she came to the man did she see her face clearly, this woman's face was small and round, her skin was fair, and there was a natural affinity on her face.

The woman arched her hand to the man and said, "Lord, Leng Yue is waiting for you in the Hall of Listening to the Wind."

The man nodded, glanced at me in his arms, gently stroked my head, and handed it to the woman in green, saying, "Take care of it, help it with some medicine on its wound, feed it something, and send it to Yuesheng Pavilion later."

"Yes, my lord, take the fox with your hands bowed and your head down."

The woman in green took me to a courtyard, put me in a cage, and then turned away. After a few moments, he brought a bottle of medicine and a plate of raw meat to him.

The green clothes carried me out of the cage, untied the handkerchief, and smeared the medicine.

Then, he picked up a piece of raw meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth.

Looking at the raw meat getting closer and closer, those lines are bloody, a burst of nausea, although it is a fox, I don't eat raw meat, A-Niang makes delicious food, and suddenly feels sad and homesick.

When the green man saw that I was not eating, he held my mouth and tried to force the meat to feed me.

It really scared me, and I subconsciously bit her, she instinctively let go of her hand, ran forward after escaping, and entered a courtyard in a hurry.

This courtyard is chic, there is a faint smell of sandalwood, there is a pavilion in the southeast corner of the courtyard, there is an ancient table in the pavilion, and the incense burner on the table rises like smoke.

There is a lotus pond next to it, it seems that the owner of this place is very happy, and there is a winding path in the northwest corner of the lotus pond.

When I saw that no one was chasing me, I curled up in the pavilion, because I was really hungry, I hadn't eaten for several days, and I had used all my strength just now, and my feet were oozing blood, and I really didn't have the strength to run again.

About an hour later, I heard a green-clothed voice outside: "Your Excellency, your subordinates have not taken good care of you, let the fox run into the Venerable Lord's Moon Rising Pavilion, please punish the Venerable Lord."

The man said, "It's okay, you go get some cooked food and medicine."

Although there was moonlight last night, I didn't look at it carefully, the man was dressed in white like snow, seven feet tall, and his facial features seemed to be God's favorite, which was perfectly arranged on this delicate face. The black hair is half bundled and half scattered, and there is a piece of white jade that is rare in the world around the waist, and there is a little red in the middle of the jade, which is translucent and moist, making the red more dazzling and charming.

He walked slowly towards me, looked at my feet, and then got up and walked out the door. Suddenly, he came in with a chicken leg and a medicine bottle.

Leaning down to me, he said, "Don't you like to eat raw meat, I brought you chicken legs." After speaking, he came over with a chicken leg. Really, this is the chicken leg I have ever tasted, and they all say that hunger does not choose to eat, and everything you eat is fragrant when you are hungry. After eating a plate of chicken legs in less than a while, he also had the strength to get up and rub on his legs. He touched my head and applied the medicine to it.

Then he said gently: "My name is Bei Poppy, I can't always call you a little fox, why don't I give you a name, he looked at the fox's tail, and called you Xue Qi", this is the first time I have heard his name.

Three months passed.

I'm getting acquainted with this place, this place is called Midnight Palace, and it's also a demon cult that the rivers and lakes talk about.

The courtyard where the North Poppy lives is called the Moonrise Pavilion, and no one else is allowed to enter, so it's usually only the North Poppy and me.

The green-clothed woman's name is Cuiyu, and she is the only female hall master of Midnight Hall, and she is also the one who takes care of the living North Poppy, and lives in Nanyue Pavilion.

The lord of the Midnight Hall is the North Poppy, the demon who wants to get rid of the righteous path and is fast, and there are two other hall masters, Leng Yue and Xuan Yin, who live in the West Moon Pavilion and the East Moon Pavilion respectively.

I haven't recovered yet, and I don't know when I will.

Just waited in the pavilion for the North Poppy to come back as usual.

Listening to the unhurried footsteps, I knew that the poppy was back, and I happily ran to him with my paws raised, because he was very bored in his absence.

He picked me up as usual and then ate together.

After the meal, Bei Poppy said to me with a doting face: "I'll take you to a place."

So saying, I walked down the winding path in the courtyard, and although I had been here for a few months, I had never been there on my own.

I first fluttered for a while, and then trotted behind the North Poppy, it was really a winding path leading to a secluded place, after the lotus pond walked, a sea of flowers showed in front of me, there were forgetful grass, there were flowers on the other side, there were rhododendrons...... Looking at this sea of flowers, I was so happy that I was rolling among the flowers.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back, and when I looked back, I saw a black leopard staring at me with light brown pupils, walking step by step.

I was so happy just now, I was so happy that I was skewering in the sea of flowers quickly, and I must have run away. Looking at the black panther nearby, his hands and feet were so frightened that he couldn't move.

The panther pounced so hard that I closed my eyes in fright, and then I felt my body float up. It turned out that he was already riding on the panther in the arms of the Northern Poppy.

Bei Poppy patted the panther and said, "Don't bully Xue Qi in the future."

The panther screamed, as if in agreement.

Bei Poppy touched my head and said, "It's okay, Xiao Hei won't hurt you next time." ”

After the panther brought us to the door of a cave, he leaned down to let the North Poppy come down and turned to leave.

Above the door of the cave is written the Yin Yang Cave.

There are two directions to the left and right to enter the cave, and the North Poppy walks to the right with the fox.

The more you go inside, the warmer it gets, and after walking about 100 meters, you can only see a pool of hot springs, steaming, like a fairyland.

This hot spring is formed naturally, and the entrance of the hot spring is a Bagua diagram, with hot water flowing into the left and cold water flowing into the right side, and then flowing into the pool after this gathering.

Bei Poppy looked at me and said, "Today we are taking a bath here, this is a sulfur spring, which is good for people and foxes." As he spoke, he unbuckled his belt to begin undressing.

I watched him take off his shirt and put it neatly on the stone, anyway, it was a fox body, then I admired this body, hehehe, I was making wishful thinking, but I was pulled back by a burst of aroma and body heat.

Looking at his straight figure and perfect upper body, like Qionglin Yushu.

I was shocked, ashamed, and my face turned red.

"Mother! What kind of scene is this, what am I doing, watching the man still take a bath with him? ”

It's really a shame to die, and immediately jumped out of that hot run.

I ran to the entrance of the cave and looked out, thinking that I couldn't run out, otherwise it would be miserable if I met the panther again, although the North Poppy said that it would not hurt me again.

I waited bored at the entrance of the cave, curious about what it was like to go to the left. So, I boldly walked to the left, where it was getting warmer and warmer, and here it was getting colder and colder.

Probably walked a few hundred meters, I saw an ice bed, there is a small stream next to the bed, the stream is cold and biting, although the ice bed does not melt, but the stream does not freeze, it is really a magical scene, this world is interesting.

The Linghu clan prefers a colder place, and the cold winter in Qingqiu is also very cold and cold, but for me, this cold is as comfortable as a warm spring.

Thinking that I would have to wait for the North Poppy to soak in the hot spring anyway, it was better to rest on the ice bed for a while. Thinking about it, he jumped on the ice bed.
