Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 71 Auntie, I finally see you again (please order first! Three-in-one!)

"Mr. Big, where are we going?"

Xiao An was held by Lu Chenran's hand, and his big eyes stared curiously at everything around him. He looked left and right, and he had never seen so many strange things.

"Let's take a casual stroll here first, and I'll be visiting the city lord's house later."

"Oh."

The layout of the ghost city is not much different from that of an ordinary city. There is one main road and dozens of small paths scattered on both sides of the road. If it is different, the things sold by these ghosts and ghosts at the stalls here are rather strange.

Not talking about daily wear, most of them are rare treasures from the mountains and wild places. There are also many antiques, but few of them are eye-catching. They are things that cannot be recognized on the title page of a golden book, and there is no use in holding them.

It's winter, and the most popular thing is some fresh fruits and vegetables. I don't know what magic methods are used to preserve these ghosts. The most outrageous thing is that there are people selling ashes, and there are quite a few ghosts around to buy them.

Of course, there are also shops that sell all kinds of food and meat. You don’t need to buy clothes, but you need to buy more meat. During this time, Hushan God followed you and suffered a lot of hunger.

Perhaps because of the scene just now, all the stall owners were very enthusiastic when they saw Mr. Lu passing by their stalls. Even if they didn't buy, they would give some to try, which surprised him.

Speaking of which, the cultures of humans, monsters and ghosts living in the Great Zhou Dynasty also have something in common. As for the large sums of money used in transactions, they are no different from those used by the common people. When she parted with the young prince, she left a lot for herself. It's enough to go to Beijing.

"Mr. Big, there is a bowl with long legs."

"It should be the bowl demon."

"Why doesn't it become human?"

"Maybe you don't like it."

"That monster is selling gourds. They look different from the green gourds. They have no eyes."

Qing Gourd stared, swayed, and said dissatisfied:

"Don't compare me with ordinary gourds. I am a fairy gourd."

Xiao An curled his lips and was about to argue with Qing Gulu when he suddenly looked not far away and said:

"Mr. Big, there are such beautiful things there."

Following Xiao An's line of sight, Lu Chenran looked towards the small stall not far away, a bit of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

‘There are actually people selling sword scabbards. ’

Lu Chenran subconsciously glanced at the water dragon floating behind him from the corner of his eye.

‘It’s time to match it with a better scabbard. ’

Thinking of this, Lu Chenran led Xiao An towards the stall.

The woman who set up the stall was somewhat plump. She tapped a piece of cinnabar at the corner of her eye. When she saw Lu Chenran's arrival, she was not surprised at all. She smiled and said:

"Sir, would you like to have a scabbard for the sword following you?"

Lu Chenran was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the landlady could actually see Shui Long Yin.

Nowadays, the immortal sword has a sword spirit. Since it is floating behind him, even the lowly demons and ghosts cannot notice its existence.

"That's what I thought, is there anything suitable?"

The woman glanced at him meaningfully, then took out several polished scabbards from behind her, handed them over, and said:

"Sir, please take a look. These are made of fine cinnamon wood and are suitable."

Lu Chenran lowered his head and looked at the scabbards.

The workmanship is indeed exquisite, and it still has the slightest scent of cinnamon. A quick look, and you know that it is definitely not an ordinary thing. It is obviously not on the same level as what other vendors in this ghost town sell.

After looking at it for a while, he pointed to one of the green-ink scabbards and said.

"May I take a look at it?"

"Please sir."

Lu Chenran picked up the green ink scabbard, and a stream of light floated out from the top of the scabbard. The water dragon roared around the green ink scabbard several times.

hum-

The sword trembled.

Then, in Lu Chenran's mind, the title page of the golden book slowly floated:

[Being associated with the cinnamon scabbard: (0/1)]

[Rabbit is also a fairy. Rabbit cuts down the osmanthus tree to make the scabbard, which is full of fairy spirit]

【.】

‘It turned out to be from the same person as that token? ’

When the woman looked at this scene, she slightly curled her lips and made a sound of joy.

Then his eyes looked lazily at the snow fox in Lu Chenran's arms, his red lips opened slightly, and his mouth was half-opened:

"Yisu, it seems that your Ran'er likes my 'scabbard' very much."

As the woman finished speaking, everything around her seemed to have stopped. The noisy street was silent at this moment, the sky and the earth were pale, and all the monsters and ghosts maintained the same posture as before, without moving.

Then——

A crescent moon ripples here like a jade hook, and the pure white world comes into view, as if it is covered with white silk, wrapped in layers, spreading all the way to the end of the field of vision.

I couldn't tell the difference between the roof and the entry and exit. It was completely quiet.

The surrounding fields were quiet, with no birds chirping and no one speaking. There was only one laurel plant growing in the lake, filled with the fragrance of cinnamon.

The plump woman's figure gradually transformed, and her appearance also changed, and then she was wearing a moon-colored skirt, lying on her side on the laurel.

The moonlight illuminated her face. She held a pot of green wine in her hand, leaning on her cheek, taking a sip, then pursed her lips, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the snow fox on the ground with a smile.

A burst of snow filled the air, and Yi Su's cheeks were slightly flushed. He frowned and looked at the woman on the laurel:

"Yuefu, what are you talking about? You are still the same rude person."

The rabbit jumped down from the osmanthus tree, stepping lightly on the lake water with his jade feet, stirring up ripples. His cheeks were flushed, he stretched out a jade finger, gently lifted the snow fox's chin, and exhaled like a orchid, with a wave of The unique mellow aroma of green wine:

"It's obviously your fault, and you blame me for it."

Xuehu's eyes widened, he snatched the wine bottle from her hand and argued:

"What did I think wrongly?"

Rabbit gave her a meaningful look.

Then, a look of joy appeared on his face again, and he said excitedly:

"It's rare that you remember my birthday. What? Did you take your family out of the mountains? Still can't afford it, are you planning to give me as your adoptive husband?"

"Tsk, don't tell me, this gift is quite original, so I accepted it."

Xuehu looked at the person in front of him, with a hint of annoyance on his face. He clenched his fist with his delicate hand and hit her gently:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I give Ran'er to you as some kind of child adopter?"

The rabbit clutched his belly and giggled, glanced at her, and laughed wildly:

"Aren't you the same as before? You're too gentle, Bao'er. What's there to be ashamed of?"

"What? Do you want to keep it for yourself?"

Before she finished speaking, Yi Su had already stood up. Obviously not wanting to discuss this topic too much, he rolled his eyes at her:

"He's still a kid."

There was silence for a while.

Xuehu looked at her and said softly:

"Aren't you in the East? Why are you here at Linjiang Crossing?"

The rabbit stretched out and lay lazily on the lake, pouting:

"It's so boring to be alone. I wanted to be closer to you. It happened to look good here, so I took it."

"Is the mirage also in your hands?"

"Ah."

"Ran'er is going to Beijing by mirage."

"Row."

After she finished speaking, Xuehu looked at the rabbit with a strange expression and looked up and down:

"Why don't you hesitate at all?"

"Why should I hesitate?"

"Don't you like to contradict me?"

"You are giving me Ran'er, I should be grateful."

"When did you say you were going to send it?"

The rabbit's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, looked at the snow fox, looked at her gentle cheek, and licked his lips:

"Then you brought him to me? You even sent him to me on my birthday."

"I accompanied Ran'er to Beijing to seek immortality. I was afraid that something might happen to him, so I followed him. I was just passing by."

"You don't remember my birthday?"

".forget."

"You - you just can't let go. What's there to say? What about going to Beijing to look for immortals? Don't you know whether there are immortals or not?"

"Maybe?"

"Then maybe-"

Rabbit turned away angrily, not looking at her.

I don't know if it's because she didn't remember her birthday, or she didn't prepare a birthday gift for herself, or maybe it's both.

Snow Fox secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent Ran'er away. Rabbit looked disappointed, but hesitant, not knowing what to say. After thinking for a while, he could only change the topic:

"I was absent from the birthday banquet. Don't you need to go?"

"The maid will go for me. You know I don't like this kind of excitement."

"So, the city lord those demons saw were all fake?"

"Ah."

"I have to leave first. If I leave for a long time, I will notice it later."

"Ah."

"Really gone."

"Ah."

Yisu sighed softly, then hugged the rabbit from behind and said softly:

"Angry?"

Snow Rabbit lowered his eyelashes and frowned lightly:

"We obviously picked them up together, but I left because of something."

"Feel sorry."

"There is no charge for the scabbard. I engraved it for him."

"Ah."

Rabbit waved his hand, and the illusion here disappeared.

The water dragon roared happily and circled around the green-ink osmanthus wood scabbard, followed by a sonorous sound.

The sword is sheathed.

This green ink scabbard seems to be tailor-made for it. It fits right into it and is more in line with the size than the original simple scabbard.

next moment!

In Lu Chenran's mind, the title page of the Golden Book floated faintly:

[Befriended the cinnamon sword scabbard, cinnamon grew on the moon, used it to perform illusions, and was invited to perform Yue Xiaoshu]

【.】

‘Yaoyue Xiaoshu? ’

What kind of magic was this made Lu Chenran dumbfounded for a while.

But he could feel Shui Longyin's mood. This joy did not seem to be fake. Then he raised his head with a smile and looked at the plump woman in front of him:

"Fellow Taoist, how did you sell this scabbard?"

I was already prepared to be hacked.

The woman looked at him with a complicated expression, and then waved.

The original scabbard on his waist flew into the woman's hand, and she said:

"I'm just exchanging it, not selling it. If the young master likes it, just take it."

"This"

Lu Chenran was a little surprised, but he knew in his heart that he had taken advantage of him. Just as he was about to say something, a rabbit half a man tall and wearing a festive red coat jumped towards him. He came over and said respectfully:

"Sir, my Lord is here to invite you."

The woman selling the scabbard waved her hand impatiently:

"Sir's business is important. If you regret it, just take it back and exchange it. I'm still here."

Lu Chenran took a deep look at her, and then bowed his hands:

"Then I'd like to thank fellow Taoist."

"You're welcome."

Then Lu Chenran looked at the red-coated rabbit in front of him:

"Please lead the way."

"Sir, there is no need to be so polite."

"It should."

Pulling Xiao An, he followed Rabbit and walked forward towards the city lord's mansion.

The snow fox in his arms suddenly gave Lu Chenran a strange feeling for some unknown reason.

He was secretly guessing something. Maybe the new lord of the ghost town had something to do with his aunt? Is that why you treat yourself extra favorably?

Nine times out of ten, that's it, I just don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, but seeing as my aunt doesn't show much resistance, I guess there shouldn't be any danger.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Chenran finally saw the City Lord's Mansion.

It was different from what he thought. It didn't look like a mansion, but more like an attic.

Half of the entire attic is on the ground, and the other half is built out of thin air on a tall laurel tree.

Looking around, the snow spreads out to the horizon. A group of white rabbits poke their heads out of the snow and stare at everything in front of them. Before they arrive, they can smell the scent of cinnamon. There are lanterns everywhere, and the lights are bright. The lake under the tree seems alive, with laurel leaves falling on it, like raindrops on the scales, and water lotuses blooming.

This doesn't look like a place where monsters live, it's a bit too beautiful for the time.

I followed the rabbit through countless flights of stairs.

These wooden pillars and handrails are painted with moon-colored paint, which is not dry and has a layer of amber luster, with some light osmanthus flowers on them.

In the hall, there were already many great demons sitting at the table.

The placement of the mats was based on their status. Lu Chenran was arranged to the right side of the city lord. This was the most elegant position. However, with the scene outside the city, there were many demons and ghosts on the mat. But they didn't say anything, they just whispered to each other and looked carefully at Mr. Foxqiu sitting at the top.

Before the host arrived, little rabbits came to the hall one by one, carrying trays of delicacies in preparation for the banquet.

All the monsters gathered around the banquet, which made Lu Chenran, who had been sleeping in the open air for a while, move his index finger:

Tonghua soft beef intestines, Qu Xun sauce, red sheep sticks, Sheng Ping Zhi, the Eight Immortals dishes were served steaming hot, and the fragrance filled the place for a while, but no one dared to touch it until the owner arrived.

After about a stick of incense, the host of the banquet finally came out.

He was wearing a bright red cloak and a veil, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, and he sat at the head of the table.

After a while, after waiting for all the demons to sit down at the table, she stood up, raised a glass of wine in front of her, laughed and said:

"Thank you all for coming to congratulate me on my birthday. I am also here for the first time, and I need to take care of you all in the future." "You don't need to be restrained and chat around the table. If you are drinking in a group, you can have a drink first!"

"."

After the words fell, the 'city lord' drank a full glass of wine.

The big demon present also consciously picked up the cup and toasted to drink together.

After a glass of warm wine, the atmosphere here became warmer.

In the hall, a group of dancing singers came, the sound of the harp was loud, and the hall was filled with candles, making it look red. The scorching fire sent out tiny sparks.

It was only then that Lu Chenran felt that the eyes that had been staring at him were a little less, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao An sat on his lap, and while eating the dishes, he did not forget to feed the Hushan God at his feet:

"Big cat, you eat too."

"My tiger wants to eat that venison."

"Which one is venison?"

Hushan God straightened up, arched his back, pawed at Lu Chenran's legs with his two front paws, and sniffed:

"Give that plate to Wu Hu."

"Mr. Big still wants to eat. I'll give you some green vegetables."

Tiger Mountain God: "."

From the corner of his eye, Lu Chenran glanced at the lord of the ghost city not far away from time to time. He wanted to go to Beijing to ask for help from him, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Just then.

The dance in the hall ended.

During the dinner, an old turtle was the first to stand up. Holding a shiny bead in his hand, he walked towards the city lord and saluted loudly:

"I have met you, sir. I heard about your birthday banquet. I specially prepared one of these clam beads and gave it to the city lord as a token of my gratitude."

The city lord nodded lightly, then motioned to the maid next to him to take the clam bead and put it aside:

"The Qingshui River God is interested."

The old turtle quickly lowered his head and suppressed the joy in his heart:

"As long as adults like it."

The first person to send a congratulatory gift can always leave some impression in front of this adult.

Immediately afterwards, another snake demon stood out from the banquet, with narrowed triangular eyes and a scarlet tongue. He took a step forward, holding an exquisite wine pot in both hands, and gently opened the lid of the wine pot. There is a fragrance that permeates the air:

"I've seen you, sir. The wine in someone's hand is condensed by moon dew. It took ten years to receive this pot. It's cold, but it's still cold, but I can calm down. I'm congratulating you on your birthday as a birthday gift to show my sincerity."

The city lord nodded and motioned to the rabbit beside him to take the pot of moon dew:

"Have a heart."

As these two people presented their gifts, the entire hall suddenly rang with a steady stream of voices.

One by one, the big demons scrambled to take out the rare treasures they had prepared and presented them to them, hoping to impress the new lord of this ghost town.

The city lord also accepted it all, his expression remained calm.

Not long after, all the demons and ghosts in the entire hall were also sent away.

The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Mr. Foxqiu, who was in the chief position, feeling a little agitated——

‘This Mr. Lu was personally invited by the Lord of the City. I don’t know what gift he brought to you. ’

‘Brother Turtle, do you know the details of this gentleman? ’

‘I don’t know, and I don’t know where I practice’

‘He looks no different from an ordinary gentleman. Does Brother Snake know the depth of his conduct? ’

‘What do you think that can make an adult right like this? ’

‘That’s right. ’

'.'

Whispers kept coming, Xiao An shook Lu Chenran's arm and whispered:

"Mr. Big, we have not prepared any gifts."

Lu Chenran thought for a while, rubbed Xiao An's head, then stood up slowly, put down the wine glass in his hand, then bowed his hands to the city lord, and said with a gentle smile:

"Lu has met the Lord of the City and all fellow Taoists."

"I am an ordinary mortal, I am lucky enough to be able to see you all at this legendary Linjiang River crossing today, and to drink wine here with all my Taoist friends."

"Your birthday gift really shocked Mr. Lu. As the saying goes, 'wine is tasteless without the moon, and the scenery is not beautiful without the moon.' Today, all Taoist friends are here."

Lu Chenran turned his head to look at the city lord, bowed and continued:

"Although there is fine wine, it is a pity to be in the pavilion without the company of the clear moon."

All the big demons looked at each other, not knowing what Mr. Fox Qiu was going to do.

Lu Chenran waved his right hand lightly, and a stream of watery aura filled the entire hall.

"I just invite Qingyue Yiyuan to help me enjoy my life."

"."

Invite the moon?

These words and the truth shocked the demons here. The moonlight outside is very bright tonight. Could it be that the moon outside invites people into the hall?

If this gentleman didn't talk big words, his Taoism would probably be incomprehensible.

However, there are also demons and ghosts who don’t believe it. Which one of you here has not practiced Taoism for thousands of years? But if you say you can invite the moon, this is too false.

At this moment, the Rabbit Maid, who was pretending to be Yue Fu, looked at Mr. Huqiu blankly for a while. According to the instructions of the Lord of the City, she only had to take her place until the end of the banquet. Although Mr. Lu himself did not know his origin, it was obvious that Sir Take it very seriously.

He just held his breath and stared at the hall seriously.

Then.

Sonorous——

There was a sound of sword sound.

In full view of everyone, a fairy sword floated behind Mr. Foxqiu, and then flew out on its own.

"Immortal sword?!"

Everyone was very surprised when they saw this, and they all gasped, not knowing why for a moment.

The old turtle stared at this scene blankly.

It couldn't feel any connection between this sword and Mr. Lu, but there was an inexplicable meaning in its eyes.

A man who has no moral character and is just like an ordinary gentleman has a fairy sword.

No further explanation is needed next.

Isn't this a return to nature?

'I'm afraid the person in front of me is really a wise man.'

‘If Mr. Lu can give me some pointers, maybe——’

Just when everyone is thinking.

The next moment.

The candles in the entire hall were extinguished, and the entire hall suddenly fell into darkness.

The water dragon chanted in a circle in the center of the hall.

Then, the snow-like moonlight flowed down the hall quietly like soft water, and a round moon flew into the sky.

[Gui grows on the moon to cast illusions]

[Yueyue Xiaoshu]

As warm as fluorescence.

The gauze lanterns are everywhere, like dots of caterpillars, slanting with infinite brilliance.

The moonlight in the hall is covered with moon dew, which ripples in the glass of wine, causing ripples to spread like shaking.

The waterfall-like moonlight is a picturesque scene, and it is also picturesque here. It is misty in the night, making people's hearts shake.

A full moon.

"What a beauty"

The little rabbits sitting in the corner holding plates all raised their heads, looked at the bright moon in the palace, and sighed.

"Old Turtle really opened his eyes today."

"Yes, Mr. Lu! It's so beautiful."

“But I always felt like something was missing.”

The snake demon raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the palace, held up the wine glass in his hand, stuck out his tongue and spoke.

"What's missing?"

Leopard Head also scratched his head.

Foxes can also perform this kind of illusion, but compared to the bright moon, the big demon present is more surprised by the fairy sword with circles drawn on it.

On top of the laurel tree outside the attic.

Yue Fu was lying on his side on the tree trunk, holding a pot of green wine, his eyes narrowed, half-way drunk, lazily staring at everything happening in the hall.

The city lord inside is fake, and she never likes to participate in such activities.

She focused her eyes on Mr. Hu Qiu, who was in the chief position, looked at him for a few times, then smiled, leaning on her cheek, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Then, he saw a moon, faintly appearing in the hall.

Is this the birthday gift that little guy Lu Chenran gave me?

She blinked, then chuckled, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she chuckled:

"Although this birthday gift is a coincidence, I like it very much."

Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the hall, thoughts were flying in his eyes. Then after thinking about it, he spontaneously pulled out two hairpins and threw them from the laurel tree to the clear moon hanging high in the hall.

Tan opened his mouth half-open and whispered softly:

"It's a pity that the moon is beautiful, but it's a bit cold and missing something."

The next moment.

The moonlight hanging high in the hall was caught by the hairpins from the laurel, but I saw a beautiful woman emerging from the light. At first, she was no bigger than her stature. When she fell to the ground, she was no different from a real person, slender and slender. The waist is beautiful, the plain gauze is floating, like clouds and immortals, singing and dancing

Looking at this scene, the demons and ghosts gathered together in the hall, their eyes were blurred, and they couldn't help themselves when looking at the beauty's grace.

They all laughed and said:

"This is right! It tastes right."

"Mr. Lu, what a trick!"

"Look at the dance, look at the dance, this dancer is still beautiful!"

"Mr. Lu is such a master, I have only seen him in my life."

"."

Accompanied by the dance of the woman transformed by the hairpin, the sound of the konghou and the melodious sound of the flute echoed here.

The ancient sound is eighty-eight, and the sound of the flute is the most subtle.

This sound is like an arrow piercing the sky.

The sound of the piano in the moonlit night is extremely ethereal, and the moonlight shines on the reed mat.

On the laurel tree not far away.

Looking at the women singing and dancing in the hall, Rabbit raised a satisfied smile on his lips, nodded, and took a sip of wine:

"This is right!"

"With the moon, how can there be no dancing?"

Then he squinted his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and looked towards the fox-furred man in the hall.

Lu Chenran stared blankly at the woman who suddenly appeared in the hall. This was not her own illusion. Then he noticed something and looked outside the hall.

On the laurel tree, the woman in the moon-colored skirt held a wine gourd and blinked at him. Then she stretched out a green jade finger and gently placed it against her lips. Her eyes gradually narrowed and she said: A 'shhh' gesture.

After leaving a smile, it turned into a line of green smoke, filled with cinnamon fragrance.

‘Who is that woman? ’

Lu Chenran blinked his eyes, a little confused for a moment.

Is it the city lord? Then who is this person sitting next to him?

The snow fox in his arms stared blankly at the scene in front of him, thoughtfully.

——Obviously, it is not the scene of the woman dancing under the moon, but the scene of Ran'er and the rabbit looking at each other.

‘That rabbit is actually flirting with him right under his nose? ’

An indescribable feeling emerged in my heart for no reason, a sudden pain, and a little panic, especially after seeing the rabbit.

‘What does the rabbit want to do? ’

It's dawn, it's bright.

A feast ends in farewell.

All the demons and ghosts were all in a state of excitement and said goodbye to each other in a drunken state.

Lu Chenran had a plum in his mouth and drank a lot of wine. Although he was not drunk, his mind was inevitably a little groggy.

Little An was arranged to sleep in the guest room one by one. Xiao An shared a room with the God of Tiger Mountain. Perhaps because of the Lord's instructions, the little rabbit did not forget to take off the green gourd that Lu Chenran was straddling his waist. Put it in Xiao An's room.

Lu Chenran felt a little tired. Looking at the big bed in front of him, he lay down on it with Xue Hu in his arms and closed his eyes.

The bronze goose fish lamp next to the bed shines with light, and the crane paper window appears watery white.

The faint scent of mustard floats, everything is quiet and comfortable.

After a bumpy ride, Lu Chenran fell into a deep sleep within a few moments.

The snow fox slowly crawled out of his arms, a touch of snow-colored mist appeared, and then a beautiful silhouette slowly appeared, its eyes gently gazing at this familiar sleeping face.

"Ran'er."

Yisu whispered to himself.

Just looked at it for a long time.

The red lips curved and gave him a sweet smile, like spring breeze and rain, wrapped in countless tenderness, but this smile was mixed with a flavor that she herself could not understand.

The early sun rose, and the orange-red sunlight shone on her cheeks. The long eyelashes cast shadows in the fox eyes, quiet and peaceful.

Perhaps it was because the sudden appearance of the rabbit gave her an inexplicable sense of crisis and touched her heart, or perhaps the rising sun at the moment was too warm, causing her thoughts to sprout many things that she had never thought of before.

‘What a child-bride! ’

That rabbit is so brave.

Yisu thought so.

She finally reached out her hand and tentatively touched his cheek.

Lu Chenran woke up.

suddenly.

He rubbed his eyes and stared blankly at his aunt who suddenly appeared in front of him - even though he was just pretending to be stunned.

"Auntie?"

What followed immediately was a sense of surprise that was beyond words:

"Auntie, I finally see you again!"

"."

Yisu's hands froze on his face.

ps: I forgot to divide the content of the four chapters into chapters, so I simply posted one chapter together! There is another update later. I am too sleepy and want to go to bed.

(End of this chapter)
