"Is Xiaoju here? Where is it?" Miyou tentatively greeted Xiao Yining in the direction he was facing: "Hi, Xiaoju!"
Although she is a very talented person, and she has also got a master who said "the future must be able to see images and hear sounds", but Miyou is still a "little deaf and blind" in practice. Although the calculation is very accurate, it is invisible. Also not smellable. Except for Hu Zangzang, her own fox fairy whom she had seen in her dream, Mi You had never seen any other fairy family.
"Xiaoju sends you hello." Xiao Yining relayed for Hu Xiaoju.
The imperial edict issued by the great fox fairy Hu Yichen in the name of Empress Taishan is called Huxian Ling. All the fox fairies in the world will not be dissatisfied with seeing this decree as if they were seeing the empress of Mount Tai.
"The last time I saw a fox fairy was fifteen years ago, during the great earthquake." Hu Xiaoju wagged her tail and recalled, "I hadn't tried a fox fairy at that time, but all the other great fox fairies in my family had gone."
Xiao Yining was curious: "Was it the Xchuan earthquake?"
Hu Xiaoju nodded, and said in a soft voice: "At that time, whenever there is a catastrophe in the world, the immortals who have joined the ranks will go to fight the disaster and save others, and cultivate themselves."
Hearing this, Xiao Yining was a little frightened, and quickly made a calculation: "Is there any disaster recently?"
"No, no." Hu Xiaoju was afraid that she would misunderstand, and quickly denied: "This time it is because the Fox Fairy Collection is about to reopen, and there is a shortage of manpower. The Great Fox Fairy is merciful, so that us little foxes who are still inexperienced can also join us. Join in the fun, practice and play without delay."
Xiao Yining breathed a sigh of relief, but he had a new curiosity: "What is the Fox Fairy Collection?"
Mi You, who watched Xiao Yining chatting with the air for a long time, was in a hurry: "What is Fox Fairy Collection? What are you talking about? Take me one and take me one! The children also want to get in the car!"
Xiao Yining burst out laughing, and Hu Xiaoju's furry fox face also squinted and grinned.
"Take you, take you." Xiao Yining hastily recounted the content of the chat to Miyou one by one.
Hu Xiaoju waited for her to finish speaking before slowly telling the two girls about the Fox Fairy Collection.
"The Fairy Fox Fairy Market is actually an ordinary market. Or, in the beginning, it was a human market..."
Many years ago in ancient times, the immortals all yearned to become human. At that time, the goal of practice was to become an adult first, and then to attain Taoism and immortality. In the fairy family, because of their cleverness, the fox fairy and the yellow fairy are the easiest to get close to human beings and get the emotions and desires of human beings, so they have various methods and channels.
During the holidays, or on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there is always a bustling market in the world, and there will be fox fairies who have practiced for a long time and have advanced in the crowd to join in the fun, and maybe they can make good friends. edge.
However, it is difficult for a fox fairy who has not yet attained the Dao to change seamlessly. The market during the day is always easy to be seen through. If you are not careful, the excitement is not there, but you become a crowd yourself, and your cultivation is ruined by humanity.
Later, in the year of disaster, there was a ghost market in the world.
The so-called ghost market is also called night market or dark market. Usually open in the middle of the night, when the sky is dark and it is difficult to distinguish pedestrians. Because of the bad morals, most of them, whether they are selling or buying, do not want to be seen by others, and only want to secretly trade for a chance.
The things in the ghost market are mixed, good and bad, and it is difficult for people who come to the ghost market to distinguish ghosts, which is convenient for these non-human aliens to mix in.
Some immortal families are kind, and even though the outside world is chaotic, there are always some good things in the deep mountains that are beyond the reach of human beings, so they are generous. There are even some fairy families who give benefits to many people in order to form a good relationship.
Near Shanhaiguan, there is a fox fairy who has practiced for thousands of years and almost became a fairy. He is one of such fairy families.
At first, the people in the ghost market thought they were lucky after getting food and medicinal herbs for their lives. Later, they gradually heard that every time the ghost market had people gain something here. As a result, the ghost market here in Shanhaiguan has become a fixed and open market. Every midnight on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, many poor people come here regardless of the long distance, just to gain something in the troubled times.
Later, this fox fairy who had practiced for thousands of years took his young granddaughter to visit the ghost market. It was as generous as ever, choosing a few kind-hearted stall owners to make a deal, and gave several times more than that.
The stall owners were grateful to Dade. One of the young men came here after walking for a few days. His old mother was seriously ill. It was a time of troubled times and disasters. All the supplies of the pharmacy were confiscated into the army. The young man wanted to ask for help. medicinal materials. The fox fairy was grateful for his filial piety, and put down a century-old ginseng during the transaction.
How can such a good ginseng be exchanged for the few trading items brought by the poor!
The young man was grateful to Dade and remembered it in his heart. In the dark, he held up the candle placed in front of the stall and shone forward, trying to remember the sign of the benefactor so that he could repay him in the future.
In the dark night, illuminated by the dim candlelight, the fox fairy's brown robe almost blended into the night, covering all the appearance features.
The young man was secretly disappointed. Unexpectedly, the little granddaughter brought by the fox fairy was naughty and tripped on the ground, so a small piece of fluffy fox tail was exposed under the robe, and the young man saw it squarely.
Surprised and delighted, the young man closed the stall and returned home with the old ginseng. After healed his old mother, he came to the ghost market diligently every month, and every time he carried a basket of mud bricks he beat and dried.
In this way, day after day, after many days, I built a small temple at the starting point of the ghost market with the mud bricks I had carried, and spent a lot of money to find a scholar to write the three big characters of the Temple of the Fox Immortal. One stroke after another, it was depicted on the temple.
Since then, the story of the fox fairy helping the world has spread, and the market here has been called the fox fairy collection.
The fox fairy who saved countless lives also received the sincere gratitude and the incense of offerings from the world, and soon he was able to cultivate to the right fruit and became a real fairy.
"The collection of fox fairies has lasted for a long time and has always existed. In the past, there was a fixed place in Shanhaiguan, and there would be other places when it was busy. But later, as the forests became fewer and fewer, humans explored deeper and deeper. The resources in the mountains are no longer so rich, and the things that ordinary little fox fairies can trade are not so rare, and the matter of the fox fairy collection has become a legend."
Hu Xiaoju sighed: "What's more, the technology is so developed now, even the night market is usually brightly lit, and some people even bring various video recording equipment, unless they are a highly cultivated fox fairy, It's too easy for the little fox fairy to be exposed. So decades ago, the big fox fairy issued a fox fairy order, prohibiting righteous fairy families from going to the human market without authorization, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Xiao Yining nodded in approval, and then sighed.
Miyou has a different opinion: "Why are you hiding it? It's okay to show your tail openly, people nowadays will just think you are doing cosplay, right?"
Xiao Yining's eyes widened, feeling that his thinking and pattern had been opened.
Hu Xiaoju nodded: "That's right, because of this, the Fox Fairy Collection is going to reopen this year."
