the fox besides the mountain stands and sorrow deep and long
with a caring heart and hope will wish for her savior to belong
with a steadfast heart that seeks the path to rise and journey far
yet fate unknown her and draws near before it sees the star
according to ancient text
a fox of this for 100 years can transform into a human game
the knowledge of happenings a thousand miles away
after a thousand years
they can communicate with the ones above and become a fox immortal
there was once a young fox
who harbored a deep aspiration to become a fox immortal
from a very young age driven by the stream
it practiced diligently and tirelessly
never allowing itself to rest in its quest for knowledge
Young Foster frequently sought advice from its kin
asking how can I become a fox immortal
some experienced fox guys respond responded with cautionary wisdom
saying becoming a fox immortals no easy feat
each year the lady of the Mount Thai holds a rigorous examination
and only those who demonstrate exceptional skill in both arts and philosophy
can ascend to mortality
those who fail the examination are destined to remain as ordinary wild foxes
forever barred from achieving immortality
the young fox asked but how can I excel in arts and philosophy
I don’t even have anything to write with
the fox guy replied once you can transform
you can take the form of a beautiful woman or a handsome man
and go to human town to study and learn
but remember this the lady of mount I oversees all foxes
and despises those who seduce and consume humans
you must know that absorbing human essence
is the quickest way for y’all guys to become powerful
if you wish to become a fox immortal
this path is forbidden
and you must set off on a much more perilous and arduous path
Young Fox said I understand now
but I am not afraid of the perils and ordeals
I will discipline myself and I will follow the path true to immortality
from then on
the UN Fox relied solely on the essence of the sun and the moon for cultivation
decades paths and past in the mountains
as she gradually acquired the ability to transform
she often approach human villages to observe their way of life
one day it accidentally stepped into a hunter’s trap
and was rescued by a young scholar who took it home
bro that’s awful
