He hid the medicine in the treasure chest of the dressing table, but he was seen by the little man. He wanted to steal the undead medicine and become a fairy.

Three days later, after the squad, the crowds went out to hunt, and the phoenixes pretended to be sick and stayed. Shortly after the group went away, Peng Meng held the sword into the backyard of the house, and forced him to surrender the undead medicine. I know that I am not a phoenix opponent. When she was in a crisis, she took the opportunity to turn around and turned to open the treasure, and took out the undead medicine and swallowed it. When I swallowed the medicine, the body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew to the sky. As he was worried about his husband, he flew to the moon closest to the world and became a fairy.

In the evening, after returning home, the maids cried out what happened during the day. After he was shocked and angry, he took the sword to kill the evil spirits.

Then he was surprised to find that today’s moon is extremely bright and bright. And there is a swaying figure that looks like a cockroach. He desperately chased the moon, but he chased three steps, the moon retreated three steps, he stepped back three steps, the moon went into three steps, no matter what, he could not catch up.
