Chapter 16: The Festival of Beggars

"Oh, Xiaobai, you're coming. In the room, Nansui was clasping his hands together and begging, his big watery eyes blinking pitifully, eagerly hoping that Tang Xiaobai would change his mind.

"Don't go. Tang Xiaobai closed his eyes and didn't look at her, just meditating and practicing.

"Your legs are almost good now, and you can walk without hindrance, why don't you want to come?" Nan Sui persevered and continued to shake her sleeves, "Xiaobai, good Xiaobai, come on, come on, I finally have a chance to go down the mountain, how can I just miss it?"

"Not interested. Tang Xiaobai was impatiently shaken by her, and finally opened his eyes, "You know all the water system techniques I taught you before?"

"Also... Not yet..."Nansui stuck out her tongue in a weak heart. Xiao Bai deliberately wrote out all the water system spells before and handed them to himself, and he had to practice them well. Unfortunately, those spells were so advanced that she couldn't even read some of them, let alone understand them. I don't know where Xiaobai learned about those strange spells.

"Then don't go and cultivate. Tang Xiaobai's face darkened. Nansui's qualifications are not bad, but it's a pity that she is too playful, if she still follows Han Xiangke's previous way and lets herself go undisciplined, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a big thing in this life.

"But... It's a begging festival... How can you cultivate the Begging Festival? Everyone doesn't practice... Isn't that the rule?" Nansui grumbled quietly.

"The rules also say that you should cultivate weekdays, have you listened?"

"No..."Seeing that the central plea was invalid, Nansui had no choice but to purse her lips and look at Tang Xiaobai's calm face aggrievedly. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly had another plan in my heart.

"Xiaobai..."Nansui approached her with a smile, smiling brightly.

Tang Xiaobai glanced at her and didn't answer.

"Xiaobai, were you too seriously injured by those Diao people before, so you didn't dare to go down the mountain with palpitations?" Nan Sui was triumphant in her heart, since she couldn't be soft, then she would make a move.

It's a pity that Tang Xiaobai saw through her thoughts at a glance, closed her eyes and said lightly, "Yes." ”

???

This is not the plot development that should be. Nan Sui looked depressed, and went to pull Tang Xiaobai's sleeves to be coquettish, "Oh, you just go, you can go, Senior Brother Fengji will also go, Senior Brother Jingyu will also go, everyone will go, when the time comes, there will only be two of us left in the Heguang Sect, and others will definitely laugh at you for being cowardly and not daring to go down the mountain." ”

Tang Xiaobai glanced at her.

As soon as Nan Sui saw that there was a play, he hurriedly added, "They will say that you are a turtle with a shrunken head, that you are bullied and afraid by the villagers under the mountain, and that you will laugh at you..."

"Alright. Tang Xiaobai sighed, Nansui's unstoppable tossing energy that didn't reach his goal was really helpless. "I'll go with you. ”

Nansui instantly smiled.

"But you'll have to learn hail before the sun sets. Tang Xiaobai added.

Nansui's expression froze on her face.

......

......

Fortunately, Jing Yu has returned. Nan Sui Mei Zizi thought.

Jingyu Lingbao is innumerable, and after hearing Nan Sui tell him about his troubles, he immediately took off the jade pendant that he had been carrying around his waist and handed it to Nan Sui, "You bring this." But, temporary, growing, spiritual. ”

Nan Sui was busy accepting it, so he went to pinch the hail in front of Tang Xiaobai, and it was successful.

Now that Xiaobai can be pulled down the mountain to see the temple fair with Fengji, Jingyu is absolutely indispensable.

The four of them went all the way down the mountain, but they didn't see the disciples of the sect, thinking that maybe they came out too late, and the others had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

Sure enough, when the four of them came to the temple fair, there were gongs and drums noisy, so it was not lively, and it seemed that it had been a long time coming.

Nansui curiously pulled a passer-by to inquire, only to know that this year's Qiqiao Festival was slightly different from previous years.

In previous years, the temple parade began in the evening, but this year, because the prefect was lucky enough to catch a barbarian demon that symbolizes love when hunting, in order to facilitate everyone's viewing, the time of the parade was simply changed to the morning start, and the demon was displayed at the front of the procession, for the street women to throw flowers to it, ask for a lottery.

Now that the parade is over, the demon stops in the center of the temple fair for everyone to watch.

Nan Sui hurriedly ran back to report the news after the investigation, and was about to throw flowers to the barbarian demon, but Tang Xiaobai didn't want to hear it but his face was solemn, "One barbarian?

Nansui scratched her head and wondered, "The other one, no one said..."

Feng Ji's expression was also a little heavy, "I'm afraid that the other one is nearby, now that there are so many people at the temple fair, if the demon doesn't care about killing it, I'm afraid it will hurt the innocent." ”

It turns out that Penglai Island was once a treasure land of the fairy family, and since God gave it to mankind, a large number of people have been moving in. Some of them are family members of immortal cultivators, and a large part of them are people who want to worship in the immortal gate.

These factors determine that the population of Penglai Island is mostly young people. Therefore, the annual Qixi temple fair is extraordinarily grand, even more than the Spring Festival. If there is really a demon at this time, there will be heavy casualties.

"But this is Penglai Island, there are many immortal cultivators, and it's too late for ordinary monsters to dodge, I heard that the barbarian is still in the shape of a bird, and has not yet been transformed, will you make too much fuss?" Nan Sui looked at Tang Xiaobai and Feng Ji in confusion.

Feng Ji sighed lightly, "If it is an ordinary demon, it is fine, but this barbarian demon is born with one eye and one wing, and if one is unfortunately dead, the other will not survive." Therefore, it has the reputation of the winged bird. ”

"Trapped beasts, still fighting. Jing Yu frowned.

"Not bad. Feng Ji nodded, "Although the brute is not a strong demon, if the fish dies and the net is broken, it is a danger that should not be underestimated." ”

After a few people said this, Nansui finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and was anxious, and hurriedly urged, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up and find that barbarian demon, now it can't fly, I think it's around here." ”

"No, I can't. Tang Xiaobai shook his head, "There are many people at the temple fair, and it is easy for a lone bird demon to hide." Let's go see the demon that is locked up now, and find a way to get it out of the crowd first, and then lure the other one out. ”

Jing Yu nodded, "I'll let you, Qing Geng, go and find it, the other one." As he spoke, he summoned Qing Geng, gave a few simple instructions, and took out four small bells from the storage bag and distributed them to everyone, explaining, "If you get lost, you can use it, this bell will guide the way." ”

After making complete preparations, the four of them finally set off and walked all the way in the direction of the surging crowd. Soon the black iron cage separated by a fence in the center of the temple fair was discovered.

The iron cage was huge, and the platform below was already full of flowers, and the number of them almost overwhelmed the entire cage. In the cage was a bird, about two feet in size, fiery red and gorgeous, extremely beautiful, but with only one wing and one eye. At this moment, it is biting the cage in fear, and blood is already oozing from both sides of its beak, thinking that it has been struggling for a long time.

The people on both sides were still cheering for it, and the louder they cheered, the more the caged birds trembled with fear.
