Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 9
  Sunlight shines through the crane paper windows and shines on the curtains.

Lu Chenran silently put the mugwort in his bag, looked at the young prince and said:

"Your Majesty, Lu Chenran, has a clean character. The young prince can just call me Brother Lu."

"."

The young prince curled his lips, clapped his hands and said leisurely:
  "Isn't it true that as a foreigner from a mortal world, you have a fairy spirit floating in the air and are not stained by the world of mortals?"

"What a good name. I wonder which master named Brother Lu."

"."

Lu Chenran was a little shy for the first time and said softly:

"My aunt got it for Lu."

Hearing this, Xue Hu's tail swayed a little contentedly.

The young prince was stunned for a moment. Seeing his expression, he just thought about it and figured it out. Then he said with a half-smile but not a smile:

"It seems that Brother Lu and Auntie have a very deep relationship."

He didn't want to make a fuss about Lu Chenran's aunt, so after a pause, the topic changed, and Youyou said:

"I heard that Brother Lu went to Beijing to seek immortality? I wonder how much Brother Lu knows about this?"

"."

Lu Chenran thought for a while, and then said:

"Lu only knows that the immortals from Shangjing Mansion will go down to collect disciples on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. I don't know the details yet. I wonder if Brother Li knows anything about it?"

"."

The young prince gave him a meaningful look and slowly said:

"It seems that Brother Lu knows very little about the origin."

Hearing this, Lu Chenran paused and said quickly:
  "Brother Li, please give me some advice."

The young prince straightened up on his knees, brushed his hem, stood up slowly, and said softly:
  "In order to achieve the cause of ascending to immortality through the dragon veins of the Great Zhou Kingdom five hundred years ago, the true immortal made an agreement with the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to hold a sermon at Mount Buxian for one hundred and eight hours on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"All living beings in the world, regardless of religion or class, can climb mountains and listen to the Tao. But how many times a true immortal can preach, even the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty does not know."

"."

This news was really unexpected, but Lu Chenran still caught a key word from it:
  "Education without distinction? Brother Li means that besides humans, there are other types of aliens who can climb mountains and learn the Tao?"

"."

The young prince looked at him meaningfully and nodded:

"No matter what it is, as long as you can reach the top of Mount Buhan, you can hear it."

"Everyone in the world knows this. It seems that Brother Lu has stayed in the mountain for too long and is not well informed."

"."

Lu Chenran hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said:

"Then which immortal sect does this true immortal come from?"

The young prince was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with some confusion:
  "Xianmen? What is Xianmen?"

"There is only one true immortal on Bulham Mountain in this world? How can he come to the immortal sect to talk about it?"

"."

Lu Chenran was stunned on the spot.

He silently digested the news he knew today, and after chatting with the young prince for a while, he stood up and left.

The young prince's voice came from behind:
  "Brother Lu, please pack your bags, the Shenshi caravan will set off for Shangjing Mansion today."

"Hoo!"

The sparrow's slender feet flicked forward, and its body suddenly spread out like a ball of ink. It shot past the pine branches and rushed down. Its head accurately aimed at a grass seed on the snow.

Lu Chenran sat silently under the pine tree, the title page of the golden book slowly flickering in his mind, and for a long time, a touch of handwriting slowly emerged.

[Becoming associated with Aiguai: (2/10)]

【.】

He breathed a long sigh of relief and moved his legs, which were a little stiff and numb.

At this time, footsteps sounded frequently behind him. Lu Chenran turned around and saw Uncle Wang saying apologetically:
  "Mr. Lu, what a coincidence. The caravan was about to set off, but something happened."

Then, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear:

"It's really because the northern snow tiger is not very cooperative, but please don't worry, sir, it won't take long."

"."

Hearing this, Lu Chenran patted Xue Ji on his body and smiled at Uncle Wang:
  "No problem."

With that said, he picked up his luggage, held the snow fox in his arms, and walked towards the cavalry.

"Whoa-"

Fierce roars of tigers resounded from the convoy, and countless birds jumped up in the surrounding pine forest and flew away. The horses that were moving forward were frightened by this terrifying pressure and fell to their knees, burying their heads in the snow, and stopped moving forward.

There was silence all around, except for the low-pitched snoring of tigers and the leisurely strolling in the courtyard with their flesh pads squeezing the wooden boards and their limbs intertwined on the ground.

The escorts and porters of the caravan did not dare to express their anger. They tightly grasped the weapons in their hands, huddled together, and stared closely at the wooden cage not far away.

Lu Chenran looked over from a distance and saw an eye-catching snow tiger with a huge head and a body of more than ten feet in a cage.

The white hair and black lines, the rough king character on the forehead, hide the muscle mass, and the veins beat steadily and powerfully.
  "Everyone, be careful. This tiger is in a cage and cannot hurt anyone."

"Let's gather around."

"."

"Ouch-"

The only response to these traveling merchants was the low roar of the tiger.

The atmosphere was suffocating, and everyone's faces were covered with beads of sweat.

"Who dares to touch this tiger if it doesn't cooperate?"

"It wasn't so scary when we caught it."

"For such a big tiger, I don't know what the prince's palace in Beijing wants it to do?"

"I heard that in Guanzhong, there are people who drank eighteen bowls of wine and killed a tiger with bare hands. I don't know who made up such an unrealistic story."

"."

Lu Chenran glanced at the cage and walked slowly towards Xue Hu.

The lingering wind blows slowly, the pine branches sway, the fox fur flutters slightly in the wind, and the sunset leaves behind colorful snow shadows.

Uncle Wang glanced at Mr. Lu who was walking away, and was shocked. He quickly spoke to persuade:
  "Master Lu, the snow tigers in the north are very dangerous. If ordinary people can't get closer than ten feet, there will be panic and tiger roars. Master, it is better to get on the horse and leave this place with the young prince first."

"."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Mr. Foxqiu had already arrived in front of the cage, within an inch of his distance.

Seeing this scene, the porters and escorts around them had goosebumps on their arms, their hairs stood on end, and their faces looked anxious:
  "hiss--"

"Master Lu, be careful."

"Mr. Lu, it's too dangerous there. Please step back quickly."

"."

But no one dared to step forward to stop him at this time.

"Roar-o-"

The hearts of all the escorts were almost in their throats.

however--

The snow tiger with round eyes and angry eyes trembled after seeing Mr. Fox Qiu, and then he took a few steps back towards the cage with his tiger paws a little guilty.

The tiger's body was blocked by the cage, and it had no way to retreat. It landed on all fours, like a big cat, squatting on the spot awkwardly and whimpering a few times symbolically.

The beard trembled.

"woooooo"

Perhaps it was an illusion, but for the first time, the traveling merchants noticed a bit of flattery in the pupils of the snow tiger.
  But they don't know that in the eyes of everyone, Mr. Lu is just a fake person.

——The snow fox lay lazily on his shoulder, but its fox eyes stared at the snow tiger coldly.

In Lu Chenran's mind, writing slowly floated on the title page of the golden book:
  [Becoming acquainted with the God of Hushan and Hushan: (0/30)]

[Snow Tiger on Fox Mountain (Tao Xing San Jiazi) often comes out with a snow-clad futou holding Chen Yi. At night, the lights shine brightly on the thin forest, and those who see it think they are mountain gods. If it wants to eat people, it turns into a tiger again and roars forward]

【.】

He sat next to the cage, stretched out his hand, and patted the tiger's head. His expression was gentle and his voice was slow and steady:

"Stop yelling, let's go to Beijing together."

"Okay? Be obedient."

"."

Xue Hu opened his mouth, rarely stuck out his tongue, and breathed out:

"Woooo-"

After doing all this, Lu Chenran slowly turned around, with his expression as calm as ever among everyone's dumbfounded eyes, as if he had done something insignificant.

He silently sat on the carriage where the cage was, adjusted the shawl on his shoulders, and said softly:

"Everyone, it's time to go."

"There will be heavy snow tonight and the mountain roads will be difficult to walk on. We need to leave early."
