During the apocalyptic years of the Ming Dynasty, when the rich Wang family in Baiyun Town had white affairs, they invited two Taoist priests from Baiyun Mountain to do the ritual at home. An elderly Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest came. It seemed that the two were mentors and apprentices.
After finishing the ritual, the old Taoist was going to the town to visit his old friend, so he let the little Taoist go back alone. Without the shackles of his master, the little Taoist jumped and jumped, and walked around the market for a long time before walking back.
It was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the moon in the sky was as round as a silver plate. There was no one along the way, only the chirping of insects in the grass accompanied the little Taoist priest.
Not far away was a desolate cemetery. The little Taoist vaguely heard a slight noise coming out, so he hid behind a big tree not far away and watched. He thought he had encountered a tomb robber.
Soon after, he saw a small beast standing on its feet, like a human walking upright to a grave. Under the moonlight, the little Taoist priest found that it was a snow-white fox. He saw her standing on the grave, bowing to the moon in the sky, looking very devout.
Then the fox jumped from the grave into the grass, only to hear a rustling sound in the grass, and a moment later the fox came out again, and saw that it was covered with grass leaves, like human clothes, with a small red flower in each ear.
The fox took out a skull from behind, put it on his head, walked up to the grave, and knelt down on the moon.
Gradually, a mist emerged from the fox's body, and a silver-white elixir was spit out of his mouth, swallowing it at the moon. This action was done dozens of times. Suddenly, the fox rolled down from the grave, and when he stood up, he had become a tall, beautiful woman!
The little Taoist was taken aback when he saw it. This fox has become a spirit, what does he want to do when it turns into a human? Is it going to harm others?
At this time, the woman staggered and walked up. At the beginning, she didn't walk very steadily and her movements seemed very stiff, but after walking a few steps, she had fully adapted to the rhythm, and her twists and turns were no different from normal people.
The little Taoist priest was afraid that she would do evil and murder others, so he followed her from a distance, trying to find an opportunity to subdue the fox demon.
Along the way, the fox that turned into a woman stopped and walked. He was very alert and kept looking around. The little Taoist hid along the way, but fortunately he was not discovered by it.
I don't know how long he has been walking, but the little Taoist only feels that the surrounding environment is getting more and more unfamiliar. It seems that he never walked that road. He is already a little tired, and the night is already very deep.
Suddenly, a large mansion appeared vaguely ahead. Two large lanterns hung on the vermilion gate, and noisy voices came from inside, as if many people were gathering.
The woman knocked on the door a few times, and two big men came out. She whispered a few words in the ear of a big man, and then went into the yard.
There were so many people here, and if they fell into the fox's trap, the loss would be huge. He hurriedly chased after him, and the two gatekeepers looked very surprised when they saw him and asked, "Where did you come from?"
The little Daoist could only pretend to say, "I'm a Daoist from out of town, and I'm not familiar with the terrain here. Now that it's dark and I'm lost, I hope to stay overnight in your mansion. I don't know if it's convenient?"
A gatekeeper said, "Please wait a moment, I'll inform the master." After saying that, he walked to the courtyard, and looked back at the little Taoist halfway through.
After a while, the gatekeeper who reported the news came back. He smiled and said to the little Taoist, "Master, please!"
The little Taoist followed the gatekeeper into the lobby, and saw that it was resplendent and resplendent, with songs and dances rising. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sat on the main seat, and there were people drinking and having fun on both sides.
Looking behind the screen, the woman turned into a fox. In front of her was a guzheng playing a beautiful tune, which attracted the guests to clap and applaud.
Seeing the little Taoist come in, the master hurriedly pulled him to sit down and let the servant bring him fast food for him to enjoy. The little Taoist had something on his mind, so he didn't have the heart to eat, but kept looking at the woman playing the guzheng, always ready to subdue her.
After the song was finished, the owner was very happy and gave the woman a lot of money. He asked again, "Miss, this skill is really good, I don't know where you learned it from?"
The woman said shyly, "I was originally a peasant woman, just playing casually, sir laughed!"
The owner smiled and nodded, saying, "It's getting late, everyone should leave, go back and rest early!"
The woman said: "The little girl is really afraid of the dark. I wonder if Mr. can take the little girl in for one night. I will leave by myself after dawn."
The master said, "How difficult is this? I still have a lot of empty rooms here, so I'll arrange for someone to let you stay first."
The little Taoist priest saw that the situation was not good, and the fox must not have been at ease when he asked to stay overnight. He secretly took out a magic weapon from behind, and when he saw the woman turn around, he jumped out with a shout, and hit the woman in the head with the magic weapon.
Hearing the woman say "oops," the skull was hit to the ground and rolled into the dark. She also showed her original form, turned into a white fox, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and the little Taoist said regretfully, "She is a fox demon. When I saw her transform into a woman with a skeleton on her head, I knew that she wanted to harm someone, so I followed her all the way here."
The owner frowned and said, "Are you saying that the fox will transform into a woman after wearing a skull?"
The little Taoist said, "Indeed, that's a human skeleton!" After saying that, he lowered his head to look for the fallen skull.
At that moment, the lights in the room were getting dimmer and dimmer. The owner suddenly approached the little Taoist and said gloomily, "Little Master, stop looking for it. Is the skull you mentioned like this?"
As he spoke, he took something off his head. The little Taoist was taken aback when he saw that the master was holding a human skull in his hand, and his body gradually turned into a huge fox!
The little Taoist knew that something was wrong. As he was about to run, he was suddenly surrounded by guests. Just like the host, they took the skulls off their heads and turned into fierce foxes!
At this critical juncture, a golden whisk suddenly flew in from the window, which swept directly towards the foxes surrounding the little Taoist priest. Accompanied by the sound of foxes wailing, an old Taoist came in with a mahogany sword in hand!
When the little Taoist priest saw his master coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and was saved.
Besides, when the big fox saw the old Taoist, he turned around and wanted to run. The old Taoist chanted a spell, and the mahogany sword in his hand pierced the back of the big fox like lightning…
After cleaning all the foxes, the old Taoist took the little Taoist out of the big house. Not far from the door of the big house, there was a snow-white fox lying on the ground, which was also subdued by the old Taoist.
The little Taoist asked the old Taoist, "Master, didn't you go to visit your old friend? Why did you come here?"
The old Taoist said, "My old friend told me that there has been trouble with the fox demon in the mountains recently. I also thought that today is the fifteenth day of August, when the moon is at its fullest, and the fox demon will definitely come out to make trouble. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came over overnight."
The little Taoist priest was very touched when he heard that, and made up his mind to learn skills from his master in the future and do more good things for the people!
