In the deep mountains surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, there is a mysterious open-air cave. The entrance to the cave has been eroded by time and has mottled traces. There are overgrown weeds and vines climbing wildly around it, as if telling an unknown story. Inside the cave, there is a nine-tailed fox named Qingci sealed.
Qing Ci has fur as white as snow, and nine tails hanging softly behind her, each one containing powerful spiritual power.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, Qingci is trapped in this small place, feeling the changes in the outside world.
Qingci would shout "Save me" at the entrance of the cave every day. These two simple words were full of her desire for freedom. Day after day, year after year, her voice changed from crisp to hoarse, from strong to weak, but she never gave up. She has shouted this sentence for more than a hundred years.
Until that day, a vigorous young general, Shen Yi, passed by this place while chasing the remnants of the enemy's army in the deep mountains. Shen Yi was wearing a silver battle armor, with a tall and straight figure, and his eyes showed perseverance and determination. Just as he passed near the cave, a faint cry for help came into his ears.
Shen Yi was startled, reined in the reins, and carefully identified the source of the sound. He followed the direction of the sound and finally found Qing Ci sealed in the cave. Looking at the beautiful but sad nine-tailed fox in front of him, Shen Yi felt pity and broke the seal.
Qingci slowly stood up and stretched his body that had been imprisoned for a long time. She looked at Shen Yi, her eyes full of gratitude: "General, thank you for saving me. I am a nine-tailed fox. I can do three things for you in return."
