Chapter 5: A Chicken Feather (1)
I heard that something big happened in Qingqiu recently.
Emperor Gongjing, one of the twelve emperors of Qingqiu, will marry his daughter to the Tushan clan next door in a few days. It is said that the little daughter of Emperor Gongjing is as beautiful as a flower, and it seems that the monarch of the Tushan clan is not shallow.
Tushan is not far from Qingqiu, and the fox clan of Tushan has a longer history than the fox clan of Qingqiu. But many years ago, a sudden natural disaster almost wiped out the fox clan in Tushan, and now there are very few left. In order to keep their clan alive, Tushan's fox clan also knew that Tushan's power was not as good as before, so he took the initiative to show favor to the Qingqiu fox clan and let Qingqiu and Tushan marry. The inheritance of marriage has been passed down for thousands of years.
The Ahri that Yue Zhuoxian said was naturally at a loss, after all, it didn't go out of the door of the house, and it had never been anywhere, let alone that Tu Mountain. Ahri only knew that the second task that the master asked him to do this time was to send a letter, and the object of the letter was the daughter of Emperor Gongjing.
The daughter of Emperor Gongjing had a falling out with Emperor Gongjing a few days ago because of her stubborn temperament, and went to the mortal world by herself. Yuezhuo also instructed that on the occasion of the wedding, this matter must not be known to others.
On this day, the Moon Burning Immortal summoned Ahri to him.
"Apprentice, what about your first task, the completion is not very ideal, if it weren't for the help of the teacher, your life would have been saved a long time ago. So, you must complete this mission properly!"
The earnest appearance of the Moon Burning Immortal made Ahri wonder why he had suddenly changed his sex, but he handed it this thing, and Ahri instantly destroyed the idea.
"Chickens.... Chicken feathers...."Ahri stretched out his two small palms, looked at the one lying quietly in the palm of his hand, and was speechless.
Yuezhuo's face was smeared with a scarlet color, and when he was nervous, he bit the tip of his index finger, "It's not chicken feathers, it's for the teacher..."
Ahri's heart is in full swing at this time, what kind of medicine is the master selling in the gourd...
"Good boy, if you give this token to Emperor Gongjing, he will understand everything. By the way, this time the teacher can't help you, you have to do the rest by yourself. ”
Yuezhuo said a word, and went to drink with the Immortal Weng.
One word from the master, two lines of tears from the apprentice.
Fortunately, Master Yuezhuo used immortal magic to draw a real-time map for Ahri, on its small palm. Otherwise, the little fox really doesn't know what to do. Once you get lost, open your palms at any time, and there is a novice guide to watch.
Turning around, Ahri came to the temple of Emperor Gongjing.
As soon as he was about to enter, he was blocked by two four-tailed silver foxes at the door.
"Where did the little hairy fox come from, dare to break into the emperor's temple. ”
There are two four-tailed silver fox generals in front of the Gongjing Temple, who are stationed at the temple gate on weekdays. However, Emperor Gongjing has always been a bad interpersonal relationship, and they have been stationed for thousands of years, and they have not seen any great immortals come here. Today, this little monster who doesn't know the height of the sky is also a sight to behold.
Ahri flattered and said, "Two fox masters, I am Ahri, a disciple of the Moon Burning Immortal in Hehuan Cave, and the master ordered me to come and ask to see the emperor." ”
Master Yuezhuo explained in a thousand ways that no one could tell him about the letter unless he saw the emperor.
"What Moon Burning Immortal, I haven't heard of it, I think you are changing your method and want to break into the temple, hurry up. ”
The majestic Silver Fox General naturally won't be easy to get started, and he has been a gatekeeper for hundreds of years, how could he easily open the door of the temple after listening to the words of the little demon, not to mention, they have never seen any Moon Burning Immortals.
The two silver foxes showed their glowing four-tails, and this formation was about to give the order to expel the guests. Ahri's hair stood on end. Master Yuezhuo was really unreliable, and he didn't help say hello before he came, causing himself to suffer a dumb loss.
Ahri suddenly realized, they said that they didn't know any Moon Burning Immortal? Master didn't take a chicken feather as an arrow for himself, and at this critical juncture, he didn't want to joke with the life of the apprentice.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Ahri raised his little palm tremblingly, and the chicken feathers were still swaying in the air, "You... You see, this... It's a token..."
As expected, the two Silver Fox Generals burst into laughter.
Attracted by the laughter, several four-tailed silver foxes came, and Ahri saw that the situation was not good, and fled in a hurry, hiding behind a large tree not far from the temple.
The little heart was still pounding, the beads of sweat on his head were not stopping, and Ahri stretched out his little palm, but he couldn't reach the handful of hairs on his forehead that were soaked with sweat.
"It's dangerous. Ahri sighed.
At this moment, Master Yuezhuo's harmless face appeared in Ahri's mind, and he was still encouraging it.
Ahri was angry and waved wildly with his small fleshy palms, and the figure of the master disappeared.
"It must be that these little demons don't have eyesight, and the fox eyes don't know Mount Tai, and when Emperor Gongjing entertains me, it's too late for them to stammer!
Ahri secretly made up his mind that he must meet Emperor Gongjing.
Ahri thought to himself, although he had not been cultivating for a long time, he was petite and cute, and he was still confident that he could complete this kind of sneaky thing, oh, no, it was this kind of secret and great exploration task.
The hateful four-tailed foxes are still guarding the temple door, but they have already startled the snakes, and there were only two four-tailed foxes guarding the door, but now it is good, and a few more have come.
In desperation, the little fox's round eyes rolled and she had a plan. opened the palm map given by Master Yuezhuo. However, the guide on the map disappeared when it reached the Tribute Mirror Temple. Still, it seems that something is glowing.
Ahri took a closer look, and it turned out to be a small golden dot on the map, where he was under the big tree at this time. There's also a small line on the map: Here's a clever idea.
So Ahri immediately began his old business, digging holes.
Sure enough, the little fox knew that the master had not deceived it, and that there was a token buried here.
This token was given to the Moon Scorching Immortal by the Emperor of Gongjing a thousand years ago, but it has not been used for thousands of years. Yuezhuo Immortal rarely comes to this Tribute Mirror Temple, although he and the Tribute Mirror Emperor are also close friends who talk about everything, but between the hobbies of the two, they really can't get together.
Over the millennium, there has been less interaction with each other.
I looked through the map in my pocket and found that there were many places along the way with small golden dots. Ahri regretted it, blaming himself for not looking carefully for a moment of carelessness and missing it, who knows if it was a lot of unknown treasures.
I had to wait until I completed the task and then went back the way I came, to see if I could find the treasure.
Ahri took the token and swaggered to the temple again.
Before the silver fox could speak, Ahri flashed a golden token. The silver fox general, who was originally a majestic face, changed his face in an instant, and looked at this cowardice, it was really useless.
"It turned out to be the emperor's honored guest, and it was rude. ”
As soon as the temple door opened, Ahri's paw hit the ground, and when he turned back, he was gone.
Huh, the fox guarding the door is gone?
Ahri looked around, but there was really no shadow at all. I don't know where I am, is this still the Tribute Mirror Temple? Ahri's mind is full of question marks about who I am and where I am.
"Tanuki~"
A voice called, a voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere, but it was very unfamiliar.
"Tanuki~~"
Ahri realizes that she is not in the temple she has just entered. The surroundings were barren and ethereal.
"Don't be afraid, there is nothing here, and all things are born in the heart, and they are born without ending. ”
I don't know who is speaking, Ahri tightens the small cloth bag he is carrying, and thinks to himself, it's over, it's really a hell of a place where it's nothing.
I saw wisps of green smoke floating around, only it swirled in place, and the green smoke turned into an old man, with yellow beard, carrying a familiar wine jug, smiling in front of Ahri.
"Your master really can't let you go, so let me help you here. With that, he took a sip of wine.
"Are you?"
"The raccoon dog is really talented, and she can recognize the old man at a glance, no wonder the Moon Burning Immortal loves you so much. ”
Ahri's heart blossomed, and it turned out to be a helper sent by the master! Although he had never seen the appearance of a fairy, the master usually said a lot of bad things about him, such as not paying back the money he owed, drinking and playing tricks, having more white hair than a beard, not liking to take a bath, and even having a knotted beard, otherwise he would be recognizable at a glance.
But looking at the appearance of the immortal, it doesn't seem to be as bad as the master said!
