Chapter 4: The Nine-Tailed Fox
Baihui Mountain is located in the southwest of Liuchun City in Beixiao Kingdom, is a mountain that is not big or small, although it is not as tall as Taihua Mountain, but it is also a place outside the world where a hundred flowers contend, it is full of countless flowers, such as a sea of flowers. Therefore, Baihui Mountain is a very famous place to enjoy the scenery, where people come and go, endlessly, and there is the reason why Huaxian Shangxian Temple is also here.
On the way, Chu Ling said: "Your Majesty, it's still early, you can accompany your mother to see the scenery in the south." ”
Ye Qingya said happily: "I haven't been to Liuchun City for a long time, this time I have to have enough!" "It's like a child who has never seen the big world.
Yan Changzong suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little funny, because his unconscious daughter-in-law was too noisy, and he was fine in private, but there were still people next to him, although they tried their best not to laugh, but anyone could see it.
Yan Changzong coughed his throat, "Ah Ling, you and Chun'er will explore the path first, and we will arrive later." ”
The two who were named immediately nodded and left quickly.
Although it was a way to explore, it was just to be sent away, but Chu Ling knew it in his heart and always kept a certain distance from Yan Changzong.
When passing by Liuchun City, you will see the apricot blossom tree that has been vigorous in Liuchun City for thousands of years, as well as the sleepless city that is thousands of miles south of Liuchun City, and the Wangxian Tower that is high in the clouds in the sleepless city.
The mountains and rivers along the way and the local lively markets all seem to be so peaceful and joyful.
When she came out of the Xinghua Building, the little girl also took a few more pieces of apricot blossom cake from the table, stuffed them into her pocket and said happily: "I also want Daddy and Mother to taste it." ”
In the shouts of everyone looking at the sky, the little girl raised her head and said happily: "Brother, look! That's the Emperor's Golden Feather Eagle! Wow! It's so big! ”
The boy was also looking up, and his eyes once again showed a sense of obsessive yearning, until the golden feathered eagle disappeared into the sky, and then took the little girl's hand and left.
The Golden Feather Eagle arrived at the foot of Baihui Mountain after a while, and because Yan Changzong didn't want to alarm too many people, he let the Golden Feather Eagle land in advance, and then simply loaded onto Baihui Mountain.
Ye Qingya was arranged in a sedan chair and carried by four men in coarse linen clothes, who had been picked by Chu Ling locally.
Yan Changzong and Chu Ling were walking in front, while Tao Chun'er was chatting with Ye Qingya next to the sedan chair. On the way up the mountain, there are a hundred flowers, insects and birds singing, and many tourists are also laughing and laughing. At mid-noon, when the group came to the top of the mountain, there were already many people waiting in line here in front of the Huaxian Immortal Temple, because there were many people, and the two of them needed to enter the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Chu Ling bought incense on the side, and when Yan Changzong and another family went in together, Chu Ling stepped forward with a smile and said to them politely: "I hope this brother will forgive me, my master doesn't like others to be around when he prays for blessings, and he bothers you and your wife to enter after my master comes out, I thank you here first." ”
The middle-aged man in front of Chu Ling was dressed in brocade clothes, and his wife was also graceful and luxurious, presumably a rich and powerful family.
As soon as Chu Ling's words came out, the man said with an unkind face: "Why do you go first?" I don't like others on my side either, can't we ...... you first?"
Before he finished speaking, a yellow spirit bead appeared in Chu Ling's palm, this bead was much more expensive than real gold and silver, and a yellow spirit bead was worth a thousand taels of gold.
The man controlled his greedy eyes and wondered: What do you mean by this? ”
Chu Ling still smiled politely: "If Brother Tai makes my master first, this Huang Ling Bead will be yours." ”
The man was surprised, "Really? ”
Chu Ling said with a smile: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse. ”
The man excitedly said, "Please! ”
His wife was also very happy at this time, and the man didn't wait for Chu Ling to take Huang Lingzhu in front of him, so he stepped forward and took it, very excited.
The others were also very angry when they saw this, and hated that they were unlucky and could not be in the same group as the rich man.
The man took Huang Lingzhu and said: "Everyone says that the flower envy temple of Baihui Mountain is extremely effective, and it is a good place to pray for blessings and peace. ”
Ye Qingya walked out of the sedan chair and covered the bright sunlight with her hands, Yan Changzong came to her side and held her shoulders and smiled: "Qingya, let's go in." ”
The scale of this temple is not too large, the inside is paved with marble blocks, and the stone statue of the fairy is greeted by the flower envy, and the offering table has already been filled with a dazzling array of offerings, and the incense burner in the middle is also slowly rising smoke.
Ye Qingya looked at the stone statue of Hua Xian Shangxian and admired: "It turns out that Hua Xian is so beautiful, just by looking at her stone statue, you can know that she must be a beauty!" ”
I saw that this stone statue was lifelike, a jade belt passed around the shoulder, like the dawn of the wind and the moon hanging in the air behind him, even if it was carved in stone, it is not difficult to imagine the detached immortal posture of Hua Xian.
Yan Changzong helped Ye Qingya kneel on the futon, and he stood behind her with his hands folded like Ye Qingya.
Ye Qingya closed her eyes and said silently in her heart: "May the Immortal be able to bless the child in my belly with peace and security, and bless Changzong and Beixiao Kingdom with all the best." ”
Although everyone in the world knows that these ancient immortals have long since returned to the void, for them, these immortals have not really left, but are just one with this heaven and earth.
When they were doing all this, they didn't know that there was actually a person in the temple, a nine-tailed fox to be exact.
Ever since Yan Changzong and Ye Qingya came in, there was a small stone in the stone statue of Hua Xian Shangxian that suddenly burst into divine light, but no one else could detect it.
But Ah Jiu knew that this was the seven-colored glazed heart that gathered the power of all immortals 100,000 years ago, and it contained the power of heaven and earth. She still remembered the last time Hua Xian Shangxian appeared in front of her eyes......
"Xiao Jiu, now the immortals are about to return to nothingness, and so am I, and I don't need to say the reason anymore, I think you all know, this seven-colored glass heart is now handed over to you, and you will guard and find its owner. I know that this task is a bit reluctant for you, but now your cultivation is already an existence of a near-immortal, but you are difficult to understand people's hearts, you have always been by my side and never left, but there are many troubles in the world, and you can only rely on yourself to solve them in the future......"
"Remember, this heart is very important, and even the basis for the survival of the world to come, and it must be accomplished at all costs! It's really hard for you......"
Ah Jiu has never forgotten what Hua Xian Shangxian confessed to herself, in the past 100,000 years, she has traveled to all corners of the world in Middle-earth, but she has never found that destined person. Several times she thought she had found it, because the seven-colored glass heart in her hand had also burst into light, but it was only for a moment, and this heart returned to its cold appearance, like a small stone like a thousand years of ice with nowhere to place.
In the long years in the world, she also knows a lot and learns a lot, she is used to seeing the deceit of the world, the warmth and coldness of people, the joys and sorrows, the change of dynasties, she has also eaten many delicacies in the world, and has also drunk the dream of the North Curtain City. She has been to Liuyun Mountain, where peach blossoms bloom for 7,000 miles, Sunset Lake in Qixia Mountain, Luoshen Peak in Luoshen Lake, and Nanyu Kingdom to the south of it, as well as Boundless Island in the Pure Dust Sea, Panlong Peak in the Streamer Sea, Lingshan and Tianwaitian, the southernmost Lingshan and Tianwaitian in the world, and the northernmost Wuxin Sea......
A thousand years ago, when Ah Jiu returned to Baihui Mountain, he finally went to Xinghua Street in Liuchun City. She saw that he was still telling about those old things from 100,000 years ago, and Ah Jiu said with disdain: "You have said that it has been almost 100,000 years, isn't it annoying?" It's just that your restaurant here has changed again, and it looks a little more than before...... What is that sentence called, anyway, it has a little taste, it seems that you have grown in taste over the years! ”
Wu Junyan watched her sitting on the apricot blossom tree, eating apricot blossom cake with one hand and drinking the dream of three thousand with the other, and greeted her cordially like a relative who had not seen her for ten thousand years: "Ah Jiu, are you okay all these years?" ”
It has indeed been 10,000 years since they last met, it was 15,000 years ago, and now that the two meet again, Wu Junyan does seem to be very excited to reunite after a long absence.
But when these words came out of his mouth, Ah Jiu, who had been eating and drinking to the fullest, choked all at once, and she turned her head to see Wu Junyan with eager care in her eyes, and her expression suddenly became as if she had seen a large piece of greasy pork belly.
Ah Jiu waved his hand again and again: "Get out, you seem to have seen a loved one who has been dead for many years come back to life again, is it so exaggerated?" ”
Wu Junyan laughed, "Is there one?" ”
It's just that Ah Jiu still saw that his limit had come, although the apricot blossom tree was still full of vitality and brilliance, but the internal exhaustion still couldn't hide from her.
Ah Jiu was a little overshadowed and said: "Old Wu, it has been more than 100,000 years since Shangxian left, you are my only friend in this world, and you can also be said to be half a relative. ”
She chattered nervously again: "It's half of it, although you and I have not become immortals, and we may not be able to become immortals in this life, but I still don't want you to die, although I am fortunate to get the infinite time given by the immortals, but the main thing is to fulfill the last wish of the immortals." I've been physically and mentally exhausted for the past 100,000 years, and if I don't have you to talk to me anymore, then how lonely and lonely I should be alone!"
Wu Junyan listened to her sad words about all this, not sad but happy, laughed and said: "Your acting skills are also unbearable with me, it is inseparable!" ”
Ah Jiu smiled embarrassedly: "Is there one?" ”
Although both of them are very clear about the fundamental situation of the facts, and both understand each other's thoughts, they have never broken this friendship for thousands of years in the end.
That night, they drank a lot of late in Xinghualou, just like this wine called a dream of three thousand, Ah Jiu turned into the original form like a dream and lay on the top of the apricot blossom tree, Wu Junyan also returned to the body, and then a doppelganger stood behind it, a tree and a fox were just like that night 100,000 years ago, the moon was still so round and so bright, and the person who was back then would never be seen again......
Leaving Xinghualou, Ah Jiu returned directly to the starting point Baihui Mountain, the place where everything began, walked into the stone statue of Huaxian Shangxian, turned into the original nine-tailed fox appearance, and lay quietly in his arms The silent little stone.
