Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 6 The curtain is like ink
  As night falls, the snow becomes increasingly dense.

The already cold Shitou County is getting more and more chilly.

Lu Chenran leaned against a pine tree that blocked the wind, opened his eyes, and woke up leisurely.

The snow fox in his arms seemed to sense his subtle movements. It touched the ground with its front paws, stretched its back paws and stretched its back lazily. Then it turned in a circle, first licked the hair on its neck, and then He curled up and changed into a comfortable position, intending to continue falling asleep.

Around Lu Chenran, the cedars seemed to be more lush, and from time to time, flocks of birds flew around, chirping and chirping, embedded in the snow-colored ink painting.

The writing on the title page of the golden book floated slowly in his mind:

[Befriending the Northern Snow Fox: (3001/3300)]

【.】

"Has it been three hours already? It's time to go to the young prince's place for dinner."

Lu Chenran breathed a long sigh of relief, reached out and patted the snow fox that had just found its position in his arms:
  "Xiao Yi, wake up, get up and go back to sleep."

"."

The sleepy Snow Fox was picked up with a confused look on his face and placed on his shoulder.

Lu Chenran picked up his luggage and walked on the snow. The snow was very heavy. Thanks to the warm fox fur on his body, it was not a big deal. If an ordinary person stayed in such a snowy day for a whole night, he would probably have to do it. Frozen to death.

After walking along the official road for a while, Lu Chenran finally saw some bonfires in the distance.

When I got closer, I found that the horse team from Baili had built a shelter to cover the snow, and a group of people were sitting around a bonfire to keep warm.

When Uncle Wang saw Lu Chen alone, he smiled at him, then waved to him, gesturing for him to sit down next to him.

The porters on the side glanced at Lu Chenran, and even though they were drinking and eating meat, they didn't take this young boy seriously.

When Uncle Wang saw Lu Chenran coming over, he handed over a wine bottle and said with a kind smile:
  “Sir, it’s snowing so hard, maybe you’ll get frozen, right?”

"Take a sip of wine and warm yourself up."

"."

Since you are going to Beijing to seek immortality, there is no guarantee that there is something strange about you. It is always good for you to make friends with such people.

A man who has been traveling around the world for many years would never touch wine without knowing the details. However, Lu Chenran did not refuse. He took the wine gourd and took a small sip, then returned the gourd to Uncle Wang. Thank you. A smile:
  "This trip is a long one, so Lu would like to thank Manager Wang in advance."

"."

Lu Chenran's act of trust obviously attracted the favor of other travel traders. One of the tall and thin men raised the wine gourd in his hand and introduced:

"Where did the young master come from?"

"My name is Zhang Tieniu, and I'm a guy from Shangjing. We rough guys are following the Prince's Mansion on this trip, mainly to send a Northern Snow Tiger to the Prince's Mansion."

"That tiger was really big. Five or six people worked together to catch it and put it in a cage over there."

"."

Lu Chenran's hands were burning, and after hearing this, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.

Northern Snow Tiger?

There is a tiger on Fox Mountain. This tiger is nearly one foot long and extremely ferocious. Not to mention five or six people, but a dozen or so people are also feeding him. How did he catch these people?
  Shaking his head not to think about it, he smiled and said:
  "Those who came down from the mountain are going to the capital to seek immortality. They have to follow the caravan along the way. They all depend on you."

"."

Hearing this, the surrounding merchants became interested and gathered together, carefully looking at the handsome young man in fox fur, and talking all over the place:

"Seeking immortality? That's amazing."

"Isn't that just like the young prince? If you really win the favor of an immortal, you are no longer a mortal."

"I've only heard of immortals and immortals, but I've never seen one."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled lightly, touched the snow fox on his shoulder, and fed her a fruit:

"I'm just seeking a chance to be a fairy. Only one person in a million can truly be admitted to the Immortal Sect. Where did Mr. Lu get such luck? He's just unwilling to give in and wants to try to settle a knot in his heart. The same goes for seeking immortality. I want my aunt who raised me to have a stable future."

"."

Xue Hu narrowed her fox eyes, glanced at him, and secretly spit in her heart:

——To put it nicely, if you were a mortal, your aunt would be dead in the ground by the time you came back from seeking immortality.

The strong man glanced at Lu Chenran, took the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and echoed with emotion:
  "It's really difficult for us men, especially when we reach middle age."

"There are parents in high school above, and there are wives and children below. The burden of the whole family rests on my shoulders. Otherwise, who would be willing to tie their heads to their belts and do this escort business?"

"."

Everyone sighed. Just at this time, a gust of wind and snow came, tearing the tarpaulin like flying and rolling up snowflakes.

A graceful figure in white clothes appeared slowly, with snow-white cotton shoes lightly dotted. Her legs were like strokes, and her waist seemed to be lingering in the wind. Her strength was full of strength, and she could say what the beauty of the country is. I want to be so charming.

Lu Chenran subconsciously looked at this handsome man.

If it were Blue Star, such a perfect person would have an exclusive title—boy and girl.

"Little prince!"

"The young prince is here?"

"."

Everyone stood up and greeted the man in white shirt.

"You don't have to stand. You can talk about your business. Sit down."

Li Zijun smiled at everyone. Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Lu Chenran, he walked over and sat next to him. He took over the conversation and nodded in agreement:

"It's really hard for men. Women want stability. Men can give women stability, but they can't just give themselves stability. They spend most of their lives running around and working hard. That's the case with my father."

"."

While talking to himself, his body moved towards Xue Hu on Lu Chenran's shoulder without leaving any trace.

Xuehu glared at the young prince, jumped down from Lu Chenran's shoulder, and curled up into his arms. Seeing this, Li Zijun sat back angrily, picked up the wine gourd, looked at everyone and said:
  "Everyone has worked hard along the way. I would like to propose a toast to you all."

"."

As soon as the words fell, I drank a glass of wine.

His face is extremely handsome, but his face turns red after drinking, like a white jade stained by the clouds, like the person in the painting.

"drink!"

The atmosphere gradually became heated, and everyone started drinking, guessing and gambling again.

The moon is about to rise, and the curtain is like ink.

"His repeated..."

Suddenly, the shrill neigh of a horse echoed around the fields, startling the silent night.

"Clang-"

The escorts and porters gathered together were instantly alert. The long swords slung around their waists were immediately unsheathed, and they surrounded the young prince in the center, staring around with serious faces.

"Don't mess up the formation and protect the young prince!"

"."

Li Zijun frowned and looked around:
  "what's the situation?"

Roar--

A roar came from a distance.

Dozens of horses seemed to have encountered something terrifying, or perhaps due to oppression in their blood. Each one of them knelt on the spot, lowered their horse's head, and trembled.

Uncle Wang held the long knife tightly in his hand, and the torch he held in his hand made half of his face as cold as ice. He tentatively moved forward step by step and shouted:

"What is it? You're just pretending to be a ghost!"

"Get out!"

"."

Roar--

Uncle Wang responded with a roaring voice that was even louder than before, and then fell into a deathly silence.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish."

The cold wind became stronger and stronger, and the flames on the torches flickered out.

The low roar of a wild beast gradually came from far and near, mixed with a deep roar.

Lu Chenran squinted his eyes and looked into the distance through the darkness illuminated by the torch.

In my mind, the title page of the golden book slowly floated, and then the title page opened automatically.
  He took a deep breath and looked at the people around him:

"Shh, it's coming."

"."
