Chapter 3: Spirit Beasts (1)

The next day, the two left Golmud, flew straight to Qingyang with their swords, looking for Liu Yihuan. Originally, Yu Sifeng had decided that Liu Yihuan's character must have stayed in Qingyang for the sake of the world of flowers and flowers, but he did not know what to do this time. Liu Yihuan was indeed not in Qingyang. She asked the brothel madam and said that he had not appeared for several months. They were idle and didn't know what to do next.

"Why don't you go back to the Shaoyang Sect first? I want to see Linglong." After leaving the gate of Jiaohongfang, Xuan Ji immediately proposed.

Yu Sifeng thought in her mind that there were four months before the hairpin conference, so it would be too early to return to the Shaoyang Sect now. Moreover, the upper and lower parts of Shaoyang must have complained about Zhong Minyan now. With Xuan Ji's temperament, he would definitely be depressed when he heard those rumors, and both sides would be unhappy.

"Don't you want to find a spirit beast?" he said with a smile. "I know there is a mountain to the west called the Mountain of Beasts, which has many demons. Let's go there and take a look and choose."

Xuan Ji's eyes lit up immediately, "Okay... But didn't you say that you can't hurry when choosing a spirit beast?"

Yu Sifeng coughed and said with a smile: "You can't hurry. It's better not to go over and take a look. If you have the chance, you will encounter your own spiritual beast when you turn your head."

Xuan Ji was startled. It turned out that she heard "beheading" as "beheading" and was confused about whether to give up the spirit beast if she wanted to behead her head. Since she wanted to behead her head, why did Dad Si Feng and others still keep their heads on their necks with a spirit beast? It's really strange...

"Why are you in a daze? Let's go." Yu Sifeng called her.

Xuan Ji chased after him and said repeatedly: "Will you go now? Wouldn't you find a restaurant to have a meal first?"

After the meal, when the two of them flew to Zhongbeast Mountain with their swords, Xuan Ji suddenly felt that the scenery below was very familiar. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Ah! Lutai Mountain! Si Feng, do you still remember? We have been here!"

Yu Sifeng nodded, and both remembered the scene of catching monsters with adults four years ago. At that time, both of them had a very bad first impression of each other. Yu Sifeng even scolded her for being a villain, but she had no good expression when she met. I don’t know when it started, but he didn’t want to leave her anymore. The relationship is always so wonderful. He was only thirteen years old at the time, and perhaps he never thought that the girl who almost strangled Xiao Yinhua to death and insulted Lizegong’s mask when she made him scold her in her stomach in the end she became a woman who was more important than her life.

"You are smiling so weird." Xuan Ji was extremely surprised when he saw his sarcastic smile.

Yu Sifeng rubbed her face, pulled out of her memory, and suddenly said, "Let's go to Lutai Town to have a look! Let's go! Let's drink the fruit yellow!"

After saying that, he lowered the cloud head first, Xuan Ji hurriedly chased after him, only to think that he was a little weird today, but he couldn't tell what the weirdness was.

Lutai Town is the same as four years ago. It is a quaint town with many amateurs and stalls on the streets. Although it is not as prosperous as the city like Qingyang, it has a comfortable atmosphere. Xuan Ji followed Yu Sifeng with a smile, shuttled through the crowd, buying steamed cakes, buying candy people, and buying meat buns. He walked all the way to the county government office. The two stopped tacitly, remembering that there was a large glass jar here, and they saved the Tingnu.

Xuan Ji laughed and said, "I still remember that time, you and Senior Brother Six would not go the nervous road. It seemed like you did a bad thing the first time."

Yu Sifeng's face turned red and she spat: "Don't talk nonsense! In the end... it's not up to me."

Like all young people, he likes to take credit for himself. Xuan Ji smiled and said, "Without me and Senior Brother Six, you can't save Tingnu alone. A bragging guy!"

Yu Sifeng grabbed her hand and walked past the county government. She remembered that beautiful afternoon when the three children became heroes, released the suffering mermaids and laughed loudly by the lake. They also said that they would be good brothers and good friends for life. No matter what they encountered, they would not separate and hurt each other. How happy they were at that time, they didn't know how to worry and were looking forward to growing up. But once they knew that they would not be happy when they grew up, would they still look forward to growing up?

He looked down at the hand holding Xuan Ji. He used to have two hands on it, and the four children laughed like fools. Now, one of them is unknown in life and death, and the other has left. Things in the world are so impermanent that they always do not follow their wishes. Only the two of them are left. Can they still retain the joy of their childhood?

"Si Feng, it's here." Xuan Ji's voice pulled him back to reality. When he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the tavern they went to last time. The yellow fragrance of fruits was overflowing throughout the street, and he would get drunk after smelling it.

The two of them ordered a jar of fruit yellow, put on two plates of wine and food, and sat by the window chatting. The little silver flowers in Yu Sifeng's sleeve smelled the fragrance of wine, and they were ready to move. They poked out a head and touched it back and forth on the cup, as if they were eager to try it. Xuan Ji smiled and dipped some wine with chopsticks and sent it to it. She didn't prevent it from biting it, she quickly let go and said with a smile: "Oh, can you swallow the entire chopsticks?"

Yu Sifeng gently pulled out the chopsticks, touched Xiao Yinhua's head, and said, "This thing is not a good thing to you, don't be greedy."

Little Yinhua only tasted a drop of yellow fruit, and was very dissatisfied. He hissed and spitted out a letter, which looked very cute. Xuan Ji supported his chin and teased it, and asked, "Si Feng, how did you find Little Yinhua to be a spirit beast?"

"Actually, I didn't plan to find it." Yu Sifeng patted the little Yinhua. It was unwilling to get back into its sleeves and shrank into a ball. "I was originally interested in a more ferocious snake demon. Because it was too powerful, I couldn't subdue it, so my master said he would catch it for me as my spiritual beast. As a result, the snake demon was extremely spiritual. After being defeated by the master, he didn't eat or drink and died in a few days. Seeing that it had left an egg, I picked it up. It was the little Yinhua."

Xuan Ji's eyes shone and said strangely: "That little silver flower will become a very powerful snake monster in the future... No, a spirit beast?"

Yu Sifeng nodded with a smile, "It is only a child now, and it will be considered a qualified spirit beast in a few years." Xiao Yinhua crept around his sleeve, obviously not satisfied with his words, which meant that it was not qualified now. He comforted his hands gently and said softly: "But this child is already very capable now, and he will definitely become the best spirit beast in the future."

Little Yinhua calmed down and enjoyed her master's caress. Xuan Ji looked at the interaction between the master and the spirit beast with admiration, hoping that she would also quickly find a powerful person, like Little Yinhua and Si Feng, with deep feelings.

The two of them drank and chatted, and before they knew it, they drank half of the jar of fruit yellow. They were talking about their own interesting things when they were young, but suddenly they heard a buzzing downstairs. They were stunned and were very familiar with the sound of Bangbang. Last time when the county government grabbed the Tingnu and showed it to the public, they also beat the buzz like this.

The two of them leaned out and saw that there was a crowd of people in front of the county government. It turned out that there was a new notice posted on the notice board, with a bright red background. I don’t know what it was written. The onlookers talked about it and sighed: “The feng shui has been bad in the past two years, and disasters have been coming. It has only been a few years since the monster’s eating people, and another strange fire has emerged…”

The two looked at each other and immediately jumped down the window. Xuan Ji touched the purse, which was deflated and there were only a few copper plates left. She turned around and looked at the tavern guiltily and said, "I'm drinking the king's wine for the first time."

Yu Sifeng subconsciously pulled into her arms, and her purse was empty. They looked at each other awkwardly for a while and decided to drink Bawang wine and sneak away.

The notice was not about Lutai Town, but about the recent fire in Pingliang, a neighboring county. The ten-mile farmland house was burned to the ground overnight and turned into sand. The entire farm was burned all over, and half of the person survived. The yamen could not find out the reason, so they had to issue a notice and asked the expert to come and reveal it.

When Xuan Ji saw that the silver reward was 600 taels, her eyes lit up. She had always been used to being a young lady and had never tasted the taste of cash shortage. Now the two of them had empty wallets. Not to mention eating, they couldn't afford to stay in the inn. She didn't like to sleep in the open. On weekdays, she had to choose a clean and comfortable one even if she stayed in the inn. It would be difficult to move without money.

She raised her hand and opened the notice. When people around her saw her a timid little girl, they were very brave and exclaimed. Yu Sifeng had already figured out her thoughts. Although she felt that she had not investigated the situation clearly, she was a bit reckless in revealing the notice, but she also went with her. Xuan Ji herself had a very powerful fire control technique. When encountering strange fire, she must have been her appetite.

The commotion outside the door naturally alarmed the chief constable in the yamen. When he came out, he saw that Xuan Ji had revealed the notice. He was stunned and said, "Girl, this is not a joke. What can a daughter like you do?" It turned out that when he saw Xuan Ji's lips and white teeth, and his clothes were exquisite, he thought that a daughter from the family had come out to play. He was curious to join in the fun, "This may be done by a monster, so girls, don't be impulsive."

Xuan Ji didn't care about his misunderstanding, so she just raised the notice, pointed to a line of words on it, and asked with a smile: "Don't you really give it to it now?"

The notice said, "The deposit is 50 taels, and it is given in advance. So she took it off so quickly, for fear that someone would rob him of 50 taels. The chief constable was stunned again and was about to nod, but suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Two little kids who eat the King's meal! Don't run away! Stop for me!"

Everyone turned around and saw the bartender in the opposite tavern chased out and rushed towards the two young men who had revealed the notice. They grabbed Yu Sifeng's neckline and cursed fiercely: "Which little bastard is this uneducated! You can't pay for the wine, so don't think about leaving today!"

Yu Sifeng and Xuan Ji were both embarrassed and had nothing to say for a moment. The Chief Constable saw this momentum and already understood it in his heart. He immediately sneered: "The yamen notice is not a joke! Girl, pay the wine first! You are very brave to do such a deception at the yamen!"

Xuan Ji said anxiously: "Of course I have the ability to solve the strange fire, it depends on whether you dare to believe me! The cultivator is out and short of money for a while. What a big deal? I will make up for it when I have money!"

The chief detective laughed and said, "Your little plan is nothing more than cheating this deposit of fifty taels. But I want to remind you that if you can't solve this problem, you still have to pay it back to the yamen for a lot of money."
