After three days later, Hu Li understands that she have done something that she shouldn't done. She accepted it and follow Di Jun. Once again she bid goodbye to her friends. Dong Mei, Dong Wan and Yang Yang watch them leave. DI Jun open a portal and they walk into it. Inside, the wind is hallowing loud and the floor is rough. Hu Li walk along the path with Di Jun till they come to an opening. Outside, are tall grasses and she follow Di Jun. They keep walking as the fire flies fly around them. The crickets are singing loudly. She see two white figures standing in a distance. As they approach, it turn out to be Fei and Bai Xuan. In Bai Huan's hand she is holding a scroll. She smile and ask Hu Li if she is fine now.
"Yes master, I am fine."
"Good. Let me tell you where are you now."
Hu Li see there is a temple behind them. She look at Fai who looks disappointed. The wind blows gently as Bai Xuan talks.
"This is mountain TaiHuan. Those humans who want to come to this temple to pray have a long way to walk and climb up this mountain. This temple is to pray for health and studies. Some many pray for a good marriage and a healthy child. I am going to imprison you inside this scroll. Every mid night you will have till before the sunrise to walk around. When you exceeded the time, it will drag you back into the scroll immediately."
"What will this temple be called?"
"The white fox temple. Your little friends will be joining you. I think you will remember them."
Two men appear in front of the temple. They bow to everyone at presence. They look at Hu Li and smile.
"Master! Remember us?!"
"Crazy how she remember when we don't have a human form the last time we met. Hmm i am Loon Tong! You remember the name rite?!"
"Loon Tong and .. Han Kong?"
The two boys cheer and clap their hands. Bai Xuan smile and continue what she is going to say.
"They are wiling to take care of the temple while you serve your imprisonment time. I will leave everything in their care. This temple is not easy for an human who wants to climb up here. Coming here, Hu Li if they pray to you, you can grant them the wish or ignore them. It is up to you."
"Master Bai Xuan, when is the sentence over?"
"When a thousand have come here to pray to you. "
"Master! You said it is not easy to get here, how can it be a thousand people??"
She smile to show her deep dimples. She look at Hu Li with the thunder in her eyes.
"That's why it is a punishment. It is an easy punishment compare to others, this is nothing. I will need you to return to your beast form. It will be a good time for you to think over things and control your urge to do things without thinking. It is also a good time to practise your power. To absorb the power of nature. You are a giver of life, you can do more."
Hu Li doesn't under the last part but she doesn't feel like asking too much question. She look at Fei with those sad eyes.
"I will visit you when i don't have much to do."
"I will check on you from time to time, Hu Li."
"Grand master, how would any human knows about this place, if it is so difficult to come here."
"There are humans who are climbing the mountains for rare herbs. They will come across this temple. Our little monks here will tell them about the place and if wishes of good will are granted more people will try to climb up the mountain to get to this temple. "
She look at Hu Li and smile and unroll the scroll. Like previously it is an empty scroll without words nor drawing.
"I don't need words to trap you in here. Go inside voluntarily. "
Hu Li look at Di Jun and Fei before she morph to a fox. She become a white fox with eight tails. Her snow white fur stands out in the dark green grass. The translucent green jade on her forehead is glowing. Her eyes are line with red eyeliner. Some parts of her face and body have pearls stick on her skin. Her nails are red and sharp. Her eight tails, only the biggest tail have a red tint on it. She look at the scroll with her electrical eyes. She closed and take a deep breath. Hu Li open her eyes and look at Bai Xuan. She leap into the scroll. Bai Xuan look at the scroll with Hu Li moving inside. She caste her spell and the scroll fly up the sky and enters the temple. The little boys soon follow by running up the stairs. The three watch them enter the temple for far.
"No one will steal the scroll?"
"I doubt it."
"I have the spell that the scroll cannot leave this mountain. Nor Hu Li can walk far away from the scroll."
The night goes on till the morning arrives. The temple is now a solid body with a goddess living in there. Outside the stone guards of two foxes stay put with an arch stone gate. On top of it the word 'Temple of the white Fox' hangs with golden ink on it. The time of quietness begins for Hu Li.
