Hu Li look for the god mountain for days and she never see him for a long time. Fei appear with a solution and he told her the chant for it however once it root out of the mountain and land somewhere she wanted it to go, it will be there for a few hundred years before she can re-root it somewhere else. So she have to think carefully where she wants it to go.
One hot afternoon, a visitor came up to the temple for prayers. He is Hong Bang the son of Hong Hong. He is now older and have visible white hair. Behind him are some servants who is carrying some cook food and he is holding the hands of his six years old son. They take out the cook food and place it on the table in front of the portrait of the great white fox. Hong Bang remember that strange encounter with his father many years ago. Now he is older, he would like to come to pay his respect to the fairy lady who bless him. After being bless by her, unfortunate events seems to miss him by a hair. He always managed to escape and he is grateful for it. This month, he had send his father back to the village as his father is getting old and wants to live in the place where he grow up. Hong Bang send him home and make some adjustment for comfort. His father remind him to visit the fairy who is living up the mountains. Hong Hong is not able to go up because of his old age but his son is wiling to go there. Bring his son along is his ideal. He wanted to share this special encounter with the fairy. Just like many years ago when his father share the special encounter with him. As he climbs up those stairs, he feel that this will be a family ritual that every year, they all should do.
The servants who reach the top is awe at the sight of the temple. A big white temple with a hug tree. Stairs that lead them up there are clean and white. Who has been doing all the cleaning? Who have been climbing up to the mountains and praying to the deity. The two men ask each other as they sit on the bench watching the scenery. It look like the most beautiful sight of a painting.
When all the cook food are laid. The three adults and one child kneel on the floor and bow to the portrait. After that, he request the two servants to go walk around freely. They eagerly goes off as they saw a walnut tree nearby that they can harvest and eat it. After they are gone, Hong Bang bow to Hu Li.
"Respectful fairy lady. I am Hong Bang son of Hong Hong. I come to pay you my respect."
Hu Li open her eyes and look to see her visitors. She smile and stretch herself in the portrait. The little boy who sees this got afraid that he hides behind his father. Hu Li slowly step out of the portrait as not to frighten her visitors. When her feet touch the ground, the little boy who is hiding, takes a peek. He smile but he still hide behind his father's garments.
"You are back."
"Yes i am back. I am sorry i took so long to come here."
"Hmm... i understand. You bring all these?"
"Yes. I bring some cook food. I thought that you might be tired of cooking."
She laugh and walk quietly to the little boy.
"What is your name, little one?"
He look at his father and back to the pretty lady.
"My name is Hong Tian Ming. I am six. You are pretty."
They all laugh and Hu Li touch the head of the child. She smile as he reminds her of her son.
"Is Bai Lu...."
"Uncle Bai Lu is out travelling."
"That boy! Never visit me... Never mind. How is your father?"
"He is ... unwell and i bought him back to the village house to stay."
"Yes... he should be around this time.... unwell."
" Can you, will you..."
"I don't control dead. There is nothing i can do. I am sorry."
Hong Bang sigh and he knows more or less, she cannot do anything. After all she have given them a good blessing for this life. They continue to talk while the little boy ask she would like to hold his hand. The little one look at his father.
"Her hands are so cold! Like those jade!"
"I belong to the cold season. I have very thick fur to walk on snow."
"I want to see that!"
"When my son was your age, he sits on my back and i go run around in the snow. It delights him."
"He is such a lucky boy!"
"He is not not a boy now. He has grown up. Soon you will grow up too."
"Father! Is mother like this lady too?"
Hu Li look at Hong Bang. The man lower his head and have a sad expression on his face.
"My wife died many years ago. She had a difficult child birth for my Ming'er."
"Father said mother go up to the sky and join the stars. Is it true?"
"Yes, she join those many stars up above. She is watching over you."
The little boy smile and he walk outside with the adults. The sun is setting and the sky looks wonderful. A splash of orange and pink decorated the sky as it slowly turn dark. The servants are worry about going down the mountain in darkness but strangely enough before their eyes are lamps that light up along with the stairs. The little boy point exactly to the lamps. He ask why is it floating in the air.
"It is made with care from the fairy lady."
"Care? Can i make things float if i care about it?"
They laugh but not the servants who are nervous at that time. They are afraid of looking at the strange beautiful lady. She did not look like an human they see before. Her snow white skin and hair makes them afraid. Yet looking at their masters who are talking with her at ease, they decided to stand near the stairs just in case if they need to run. Hu Li understand the thoughts of those human see her for the first time. She smile to them.
"Don't be afraid. The next time when you come here. Bring some declious alcohol to drink. Siting by the tree watching the sunsetting with an alcohol in your hands, it is a good way to end the day."
The two men who is afraid to say anything just bow and stand there with their soft legs are shaking nonstop.
That night, Fei comes flying in a ball of fire. Again he lands perfectly in a human form. The two celestial beast watch the night sky and talk. While inside the temple, the new mountain god is feasting. Hu Li doesn't care for the present of another deity but she is concern that her temple will be messy. She scream at the sight of the empty plates and bowls that are thrown on the ground and oily hand prints are seen everywhere. Fei help to clean up fast with his magic but Hu Li have enough of that mountain god and complaint to Fei. At night, they begin to hunt for the mountain god who dare to disrespect the great white fox!
