One day at dawn, I woke up from under a large tree in a mountain forest, and the morning sun slowly pierced the dense fog in the forest, making the trees in front of me gradually clearer.

It's so beautiful here, the flowing water dumplings, the green mountains and green water reflect the flowers everywhere, and the faint mountains covered by clouds and fog like a fairyland can't be seen. There is a beautiful waterfall in the forest, which meanders down from a high mountain peak, splashing mist on the water.

I ran to the waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall to clean my face, plucked the goose swaying by the rock, and put the yellow and red wildflowers on my long black hair to decorate myself.

"Hey, who are you, how are you on my turf?" a nice, clear, but arrogant voice came from the trees.

I looked around in a panic, and when I turned around, I saw a young man with a flute not far away, dressed like a crown of jade, dressed in a white brocade robe, wearing a jade tiara, and his fluttering clothes were leaning on the tree pole and looking at me, his eyes as black as night showed surprised questions.

"Me?" I hesitated, I couldn't tell anyone that I was a little fox who had changed into a human form.

"What, are you dumb?" said the young man, impatiently and angrily.

"Oh me, my name is Shuoyue, I passed through here and was a little thirsty to get some water. "I looked at the sky, a faint full moon that was about to fade.

"Oh, where are you from? Don't you know that this is my territory? No one can come in without my permission, and the trespassers will gouge out his eyes. The young man said arrogantly and threateningly, with an attitude as if he was the owner of this land, and his cold momentum was fierce.

I am silent, this young man is so aggressive, it is better not to provoke.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Seeing that you are only thirteen or fourteen years old, how can you be in this deep mountain and dense forest?"

"Oh, I've come from a distant place, looking for someone. Looking at this seventeen or eighteen-year-old cunning boy, I couldn't help blurting out the truth, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

"Looking for someone?heh, who are you looking for?" a smug smile appeared on the young man's face.

I was silent again, and the young man was impatient: "What kind of person is he? Tell me, maybe I can help you find it." Have you heard of Xiyun Mountain? The city of half-immortals here is under the control of my Xiyun Palace, as long as it is in the realm of Xiyun Mountain, not to mention a person, even an ant, I can find it for you. ”

"City of Half-Immortals?"

"Yes, this is a city of half-immortals, and the people here are all half-immortals, and those who have been expelled by the heavenly court cannot become immortals, nor can they become demons, nor can they become adults. The young man looked disdainful and helpless, and said in a low but slightly proud voice: "We are half-immortal bodies born by immortals and mortals, Xiyun Mountain is a place that immortals can't control and humans can't touch, and people live in people who can live forever." ”

"Oh, I'm going to get out of here because I accidentally broke into the forbidden land because of something important, and I'm going to get out of here. "I can't help but panic, I heard that this Xiyun Mountain is inhabited by people with strange boundaries, each with strange abilities, isolated from the world but able to pass through the heavenly realm, it is a strange place to guard alone.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, you haven't told me what kind of person you're looking for!" said the young man urgently.

I couldn't help but think to myself, and inquired with hope: "When I first saw him, he was a young man in white clothes, with long black hair and a shawl, and a beautiful and long body, I remember his appearance, a young man as elegant and warm as a cloud, but I did not know his name and surname. Now that a thousand years have passed, I don't know if he still exists in this world. ”

"Oh, why are you looking for him, who is he?" the young man's eyes shone with stars.

"He once went to a lake, and he put a seal in the heart of that lake, and the lake was a sister of mine, because the seal made her unable to transform into a human form for a thousand years, so I came to find him and go back, so that he could break the seal for the lake. ”

The boy's eyes flickered, and he looked me up and down.

"What are you made of? Ordinary humans can't get in here. ”

"I,...... I'm a little fox. "I hesitated to identify myself.

"Haha. The young man couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you are really a simple little fox, and I was asked about your origin after such a while." ”

"Ahem," the boy choked on laughter,

"In this way, you go back with me, I can help you find the person you are looking for, if we can't find anyone in Xiyun Palace, I'm afraid no one in this world can find it anymore." ”

I hesitated.

"It's hard to find you looking aimlessly like this, you should have been able to transform into a human for some years, right? Are you still afraid that I will deceive you?" said the young man with some impatience and contempt.

"Hmph, I'm a thousand-year-old fox, how can I be afraid of you!" I thought to myself: "It's really not a way for me to find it like this, the lake has been waiting for more than a dozen spring and autumn seasons, and I can't let her wait for it anymore." It's better to go back with this young man, according to what he said, maybe you can find the cloud, it's better than me asking aimlessly in the world, even if there are any variables, I can easily get out of the way of a thousand years. ”

I nodded in agreement and walked with the boy.
