When I became a Jade-faced Fox

The next evening, as the sun set, the Fox King and his family of three came to the Nongzu Temple.

The family of three paid their respects to the statue and offered fruits. Yu'er was still wondering where the fruits came from since her father had never been out of the house. It turned out that they were the ones she had planted on Jilei Mountain. A faint sound came from her throat.

Madam lit the incense ball. After adding tea leaves, the scent of the incense ball was slightly bitter, then sweet, refreshing and invigorating, which made Yu'er's nose move slightly and she sniffed again and again.

"Yu'er, watch carefully." The lady was seen dancing in the fragrance and smoke. The dance was not as charming as the ordinary fox dance, but solemn and holy. "This is a sacrificial fox dance. It is performed only when there is a large-scale sacrifice. Study it well!" The fox king reminded Yu'er in her ear.

The more Yu'er watched, the more absorbed she became, as if many mothers were dancing around her and her father. When the lady finished dancing, Yu'er was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.

The Fox King waved a hand in front of Yu'er's face, trying to bring her back to her senses, but it was of no use.

"You little fox, wake up! Come back to your senses!" The lady tapped Yu'er on the head.

"It hurts!" Yu'er held her head.

"Yu'er is still young and her mind is unstable. She is bound to be immersed in it. You don't need to wake her up." The Fox King did not stop his wife's behavior, but his tone was still biased towards Yu'er.

"So, quickly think of a way out for her. As a fox, it's quite embarrassing to be deceived by illusions." The lady said with a wrinkled nose.

"You are as old as she is." The Fox King smiled and shook his head.

When the incense balls burned out and the family of three were about to leave, the sky was full of twinkling stars, and it felt like they were getting closer and closer. When they got closer, they realized that they were fireflies all over the sky, surrounding the family of three.

Yu'er was very happy, as fireflies were rare. Fireflies floated like small silver lights. Yu'er stretched out her hand, and one or two landed on her hand. Her crisp laughter spread throughout the temple.

No one noticed that the family of three and the tea tree that quietly opened its eyes to watch the fireflies, and after the statue of the ancestor of agriculture had a flash of light, it returned to peace.

"Chashu, I may have to leave soon, we may meet again if we are lucky enough!"

"Little fox, see you again if we're lucky!"

In the next few days, the Fox King and his wife ran into the deepest part of the nearby mountains, and Yu'er sat at the entrance of the cave waiting for them to come back.

"Is the princess anxious?" Li Nu and Qing Yu stood on Yu'er's left and right respectively.

Yu'er shook her head. "My parents were either out or in seclusion. I don't know how many times this has happened. I'm just a little worried."

Xiongshan-Shennongjia has been a paradise since ancient times. In the previous life, there were news reports of wild men. I think there are many powerful monsters here. It is not easy to fleece others on their territory, so I didn't bring Yu'er with me.

"My lord, save me!" A little man with a khaki body, about the size of a palm, and green leaves on his head shouted.

The Fox King and his wife had bad thoughts, so they immediately stepped back and no longer cared about the villain.

After the fox king and his wife went deep into the cave, they moved very carefully. If they met a spiritual being, they would exchange it with others if they wanted something. Seeing countless medicinal herbs, such as Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, Pinellia ternata, and Polygonum multiflorum, the couple was very tempted, but they were not greedy. They took some of them and left the seeds behind.

It was not until I saw that little man, who looked like the spirit of plants and trees, that I wanted to go forward. However, I ended up causing misunderstanding, so I shouted, "King, save me."

I saw a white light approaching quickly in the air, and after landing, it turned into a white tiger with hanging eyes, with a strong aura. Then it transformed into a white-haired man, and the little man also jumped into his hand.

The Fox King frowned secretly. This tiger was probably about to reach the Xuanxian realm. If he was alone, he could still fight with it. However, Hong Shao had just entered the Dixian realm for less than a hundred years. What should he do?

The Fox King took the initiative to step forward and bowed.

"Meet the tiger."

"Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoist. I wonder where you two are from and what you are here for?" The white tiger also returned the greeting.

"We came from the west and lived in Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain. My wife, children and I wanted to return to our clan, and we thought we had to bring some things back so we could face our elders. We came up the mountain to look for some medicinal herbs, but just now..." The Fox King's tone was very warm.

"Hahaha, so that's it! This is Xiao Huangjing. He just transformed into a human form not long ago. Before, some villagers came into the mountain and almost dug him away while he was sleeping, so he is extremely timid." Baihu laughed.

"What do you two want? I do have some collections, but we have to reciprocate!"

I thought there would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events. The Fox King and his wife looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Of course." But he was still cautious, worried that it would be dangerous to follow him. Unexpectedly, Baihu took the initiative to propose a deal on the spot.

"I know you two have your concerns. Let's make a deal. It won't delay your return home."

The Fox King and his wife had been in the mountains for a few days and had gained something, except for Polygonatum odoratum. They looked at the villain eagerly.

"Tiger, can you please ask that young friend, I want some Huangjing of good years, and I want to exchange it with Yuehua and Cordyceps."

"I have some here. They are given to me as a gift from him. Take a look and pick any one you like. By the way, we produce a kind of chicken blood plum blossom jade here. I wonder if you two are interested in it." Baihu flipped his hand, and a piece of jade appeared in his hand.

The surface of this jade is bright red, in the shape of large clusters, like a bunch of plum blossoms in full bloom, which is very eye-catching. In addition, the name, chicken blood, how can a fox not like chicken! It is perfect for giving to the younger generation.

The Fox King did not hesitate, "To be honest, Tiger King, we also have jade where we live, but it is mainly blue-white jade. If you like it, we will exchange it with jade. If not, we have something else."

The Fox King waved his hand and several pieces of fine green-white jade fell to the ground. The lady thought for a moment and took out a piece of sugar-colored jade. The jade was fine and translucent.

The transaction was a happy one for both the host and the guest.

"You two can still stay here, but please make it clear in advance that you can't force your way in. I'll take my leave first." Baihu said goodbye in a hurry.

The Fox King and his wife liked a few old ginsengs, so they exchanged them for a piece of gold ore. The White Tiger lives in the west and has the spirit of gold. For him, gold ore is the best choice for tempering the body or refining magic tools.

"This mountain is so rich!" After the white tiger left, the lady held the fox king's hand and looked around.

"Yes, not only is there abundant spiritual energy, but all kinds of medicinal herbs and minerals are everywhere. But we are still missing something." The Fox King thought of the tea tree in the Nongzu Temple.

"What's missing?" The lady looked at the Fox King with a hint of confusion on her face and her eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

"tea!"

"tea?"

"Yes, let's look for any tea trees that have become spirits in the mountains."

"Isn't that tea tree in the Nongzu Temple okay?"

"After all, those that grow naturally are the best. That little tea tree has at least gained some popularity."

Finally, they gathered all the things and the family set off.
