Becoming a Fox Immortal, Starting with Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Atop White Cloud Mountain, the immortals sleep in peace. Tu Wuyang was once a fox spirit of the mountains, with half a scroll of the Heavenly Book in his grasp. After many years of cultivation, he finally decided to descend the mountain, see the mortal world, experience all its many facets, and seek a chance to ascend to immortality. And so the fox wandered among mortals, stirring up one strange event after another as the stars descended into the world. Birds paid homage to the phoenix, fish transformed into dragons, and a thousand stars fell from the Ninth Heaven. Love between humans and ghosts, a general’s tears, and life and death rewritten in the underworld. He once sat debating the Dao with a living Buddha, and casually guided a top-ranked scholar who wanted to change the heavens. He felt the harsh winds of the northern frontier and drank wine from a luminous cup on the night before a general rode to war. He fished an old dragon from its slumber in Dongting Lake and climbed to the white jade palaces of the Ninth Heaven... But then, looking back in sudden realization, why do all the world’s countless immortal opportunities seem to come from me? ...There’s no deep-seated grudge or cutthroat scheming here. It’s simply the story of a fun-loving fox who enjoys a good spectacle and joining in the excitement as he wanders among mortals, makes friends everywhere, and accidentally rebuilds both Heaven and the underworld.
