The door is not locked. Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open.

There is no light in the house, and people who have fallen asleep will not light it. In the darkness, he saw many pairs of blue eyes, all turned to him. It's like a group of ghost fires floating in mid-air.

"Brother Lin, are you here to visit me?" a voice sounded from the darkness, still with a smile, "Are you unable to sleep and want to come to me for a candle night talk?"

It was naturally Xu Xiaofei who spoke.

He stood on the edge of the bed in disheveled clothes, as if he had gotten up from the bed in a hurry, but his expression was very relaxed, and he did not look panicked at all.

If you change to someone who doesn't know the inside story, you hear the screams in the middle of the night and rush to the rescue, but you see him like this, and you may be angry to death when you hear such heartless words.

Fortunately, Lin Yan is not an ordinary person, he also smiled and said, "I really can't sleep, because there seems to be a ghost next door." ”

"So you heard that?" Xu Xiaofei was a little embarrassed, his voice was lower, and he was a little more apologetic, "Actually, I was really startled when I first woke up, and when I woke up, I found that I was making a fuss, but it was just a room of little foxes." ”

There are indeed many foxes in the house, but I am afraid that there are hundreds of them, and there is no place to put their feet on the ground. There was also one of the smallest, who was climbing up along Xu Xiaofei's arm, trying to climb on his shoulder, but seeing that it was about to slide down accidentally, Xu Xiaofei also reached out to support its buttocks.

"It's just a room of little foxes?" Before Xu Xiaofei could finish speaking, the eldest white fox suddenly waved his tail and said in a crisp voice like a little girl, "If you think so, don't cry for a while." ”

The moonlight shone on its hairless body, and its pure white fur flowed with a sparkle like snow and silver. When the fluffy tail waved, three phantoms suddenly branched out, swaying behind him like a light veil.

"Four-tailed fox?" Xu Xiaofei was taken aback, but he recognized it, "I've heard someone tell a strange story. A scholar missed a stay in the wilderness and was looking for a place to stay together, but he met a brightly lit house and a beautiful girl to greet him...... cough, I later found out that the beautiful girl was a fox demon and had three tails. It is said that the deeper the fox demon's cultivation, the more tails there are, and you have four tails, isn't it ......"

"Yes, three tails can turn into a human form, and if it is four tails, you and I are not a match for one finger of hers. "Lin Yan said.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xu Xiaofei's amnesia is so wonderful, he doesn't know all the things he should know, and he remembers a lot of inconsequential things.

"Or do you have eyesight. The four-tailed fox glanced at Lin Yan appreciatively, "I was going to look for you when something happened here, but since you are here, let's go together." We are all under the seat of the spirit fox of the Xiaoyao Sect," a trace of sternness could be seen on her fox face, "The old ancestor heard that you are discussing the Xuanzhen Sutra every day, let me ask you, do you have the heart to worship my faction?"

Seeing that both of them said "yes", they nodded, and said, "The ancestor likes fresh and hot young people the most." She said she could introduce you if you wanted to come. However, I don't accept those with too poor qualifications, she asked me to assess you first, if your qualifications are not good, then you can only be sorry. ”

"How to assess?" Xu Xiaofei asked.

The four-tailed fox didn't answer, opened his mouth, spit out a jade bottle, two jade plates, and several things floated in the air, and Qi Er floated to the two of them.

"There are two Essence Yuan Pills in the jade bottle, one for each of you. The four-tailed fox said, "The Essence Yuan Pill can temporarily store a spiritual power in your dantian for you to use spells. Of course, this spiritual power is not obtained by hard practice, and it will be lost after a day or two. ”

"What is recorded on the jade plaque is the simplest Heavenly Fire Mantra, give you a stick of incense time to practice, and then use the Heavenly Fire Mantra to win over the fox I sent, even if you pass the guò assessment. ”

This is called "beginner teaching". Lin Yan listened to her and thought to herself.

As the first level faced by the player, the difficulty is not great, and the main thing is to familiarize the player with the combat system. If you can't even pass this level, the game "Sword and Spirit" will enter the shortest ending - the protagonist leaves the Easy Sect after recuperating from his injuries, and he doesn't go far and collides with a huge monster head-on...... As soon as the screen went black, I hated it.

With Xu Xiaofei's talent, he thought he could pass this level.

"May I ask one more question," Lin Yan said, "Will you personally play during the assessment?"

"Of course not, your opponent is only two foxes at most. The four-tailed fox shook his head, "Otherwise, don't talk about a stick of incense, even if you are given a year, it will not be enough." ”

She was telling the truth. Lin Yan put his mind at ease, it seems that even if he, a traverser, intervenes sideways, the difficulty of the plot is still within a reasonable range.

Lin Yan had carefully passed through the foxes all over the ground just now, walked to Xu Xiaofei's side, and poured him another Essence Yuan Pill in the jade bottle. At this time, he could feel that although Xu Xiaofei didn't say anything for a while, his breathing became a little shorter, as if he was a little nervous.

After all, he has always hoped to worship the immortal gate, and this heart of seeking the Tao is also sincere.

Lin Yan suddenly asked again: "There is one more thing to ask for, what will happen if we lose?"

"If you lose," the four-tailed fox grinned, revealing a mouthful of cold teeth, "then I'll eat you." ”

She bared her teeth, but her words were cheerful, sounding like a smiling little girl.

Lin Yan knew that she was joking, and he looked at Xu Xiaofei again.

Xu Xiaofei was obviously stunned when he heard this: "Ah, you eat people?"

He seemed to really believe.

Without waiting for the four-tailed fox and Lin Yan to explain, Xu Xiaofei smiled again: "We will never lose, but it's a pity that you don't have this opportunity! I don't know if you've ever heard of such a thing? I once beat a butcher, and all the rich people in the city asked him to kill pigs, because he knew a little magic - a little magic, and he could psychedelize the mind of a pig, and the pigs that he killed by his hands all died happily with a chirp. Everyone said that the meat of a pig that died like this should be better. ”

"So I think my own meat must be better than most people, because I have a good day. ”

The four-tailed fox didn't seem to have seen anyone like him, so he was stunned when he heard it, and then said, "I'm kidding, you're a guest of this sect, how could we eat you." ”

Lin Yan had already heard that he was talking nonsense. After talking like this, Xu Xiaofei's feelings were also much calmer, and his breathing was calmed down again.

Compared to appearances, this person may be surprisingly reliable.

"Is it, really don't eat it?" Xu Xiaofei said, "I'll just say that you don't look like a beast at all, how can you eat people?"

He didn't have enough of the nonsense, and turned to Lin Yan again: "You look at me like this, do you think I was talking nonsense just now? In fact, there is some truth in those words!" he smiled and said, "By the way, your meat should also be delicious, because the meat of good-looking people will be delicious." ”

He looked at Lin Yan with bright eyes, and he looked very sincere.

"What should you say to your confidante, what are you going to do with me?" Lin Yan glanced at him and said lightly.

This guy is flirting with girls...... But it's me. Lin Yan really wanted to take out a small notebook and write down a "favorability towards the protagonist -5".

"I don't have any confidantes," Xu Xiaofei said busily, "If you don't like to hear it, I won't say that next time." ”

"Ahem," the four-tailed fox probably also felt that he couldn't look directly at the stirring in front of him, flicked his tail, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, "It's not too early, let's talk less, if you don't have any other questions, start the timer now." ”

A stick of incense time, by no means very generous, Lin Yan heard this, and immediately sat on the spot, Xu Xiaofei also smiled, obediently shut up, and sat down cross-legged beside him.

After taking the Essence Yuan Pill, countless tiny heat streams poured out from the limbs and gathered into the dantian.

According to the jade plate, Lin Yan visualized a star map of the firebird Vermilion Bird in his heart, guided the spiritual power to flow out of the dantian, ran on the meridians corresponding to the star map for a week, and then sent it out.

The spiritual power injected into the body of this Essence Yuan Pill was still quite jerky at the beginning, and the more it run, the smoother it became, and by the last stroke of the Vermilion Bird Star Chart, it was already as fast as lightning.

Lin Yan opened his eyes, his palm flipped upward, the fire flashed, and a faint and gorgeous blue fire floated above his palm.

Almost at the same time, Xu Xiaofei also woke up from meditation, opened his mouth, and ignited a large burst of flames! When the two of them were settled, a group of little foxes gathered over, probing their heads to look at them like clay carvings and wood sculptures, Xu Xiaofei suddenly spit out fire, and immediately scattered in fright.

"Hahaha!" Xu Xiaofei said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I should have said it in advance!"

"Do you think you're very powerful? Empty and impure, I think your fire can burn a few mosquitoes to death at most. "Lin Yan poured cold water.

His friendship with Xu Xiaofei is not deep, and Xu Xiaofei makes him lose a few words from time to time.

"Even if I can only scald mosquitoes," Xu Xiaofei was unconvinced, and leaned over to look at the blue fire he held in the palm of his hand, "With such a small fire, can you bake an egg?"

There was a smell of burnt paste in the air.

"You're right," Xu Xiaofei looked down at his dark fingertips, blew two breaths at it, and muttered to himself, "Your fire is indeed much more condensed and more powerful...... Concise...... You need to be more condensed......"

His eyes were empty, and he seemed to realize something again.

Lin Yan didn't bother him, closed his eyes and meditated, and practiced the Heavenly Fire Mantra a few more times. Of course, he was already familiar with this most basic spell, and the so-called practice was just to show others.

When the four-tailed fox announced that "a stick of incense has arrived", Lin Yan was still calm, and Xu Xiaofei looked eager to try.

"You look like you're confident. The four-tailed fox smiled as he looked at him.

"Of course," Xu Xiaofei said, "I've learned a new spell, and I can't wait to try it out - you and your ancestor should take a good look at it!" As he spoke, he picked up the cloth bag that was reclining on the side of the bed and pulled out the contents of it.

The little foxes looked at his hand curiously, until they saw that it was nothing more than a wooden sword, and the sound of squeaky laughter suddenly flooded the room.

The four-tailed fox couldn't help but remind: "My Sky Fox clan has tough fur, better than gold and iron, not to mention wooden swords, even iron swords and steel swords can't penetrate it." ”

In other words, the novice trial can only use the newly learned Heavenly Fire Spell, and cannot hold a kitchen knife in hand and slash indiscriminately.

"Thank you for reminding me, even so, you can use a sword to block, right?" Xu Xiaofei held the wooden sword and glanced at Lin Yan, "You will stand behind me later, I will resist their attacks for you, I know a little swordsmanship, it is always easier to deal with them." ”

Lin Yan didn't say anything this time, only said, "Then please leave it to you." ”

The room where Xu Xiaofei lived was not small, but it was obviously cramped when used as a battlefield. A group of people came to the courtyard. This courtyard is paved with bluestone, quite spacious, and the four-tailed fox swept its tail and lit up the stone lamps lying in the flower beds on both sides: "Let's start!"

It ordered three more one-tailed foxes and two two-tailed foxes to come into play, and the other foxes stepped aside.

As soon as he entered the battle, Lin Yan found that Xu Xiaofei's skills were better than what he claimed. He breathed fire and swung his sword to slash the claws of the foxes, moving quickly and busily. It's a pity that the sword was just an ordinary piece of wood after all, and after a few blocks, it broke into two with a "kara".

Xu Xiaofei was slightly stunned, and saw that a two-tailed fox was about to scratch his chest, Lin Yan raised his hand, and the fire in his palm was like a small arrow, and it swooped into the fur on its chest.

Both of them had a good grasp of the Heavenly Fire Spell, and it didn't take long for the foxes to be defeated.

Both sides looked wolf-like, with scorched fur on one side and tattered clothes on the other. The four-tailed fox chanted a spell, and the fragrant green rain fell from the sky, pouring everyone on their heads. In the blink of an eye, all the wounds were healed.

"Congratulations to the Tong Guò assessment, I will go back to report to the ancestors. The four-tailed fox nodded approvingly, and added an additional sentence, "Your cousin today is quite talented, you can come to me more often in the future to practice spells, I usually stay in Yuling Peak." ”

It shook its furry ears and said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't told you my name yet, the fox demon also has a human name, my name is Yuyu." ”

"Okay, I'll definitely talk to you in the future!" Xu Xiaofei said briskly.

Yu summoned a cloud and led the fox pack to fly away.

Lin Yan knew that her final invitation was actually a hidden task - if she went a few more times and showed her excellent in the competition, she could also make a contract with her and take her as a spiritual pet. A growable four-tailed fox is a very effective partner in the early stage of the game, and it was not until the later stage that the protagonist had a unicorn, chaos and other divine beasts, and was replaced.

Yuyu said this to the two of them, and this opportunity also fell on the two of them at the same time. However, as the left protector of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, the spirit beast spirit pet Lin Yan has seen a lot, and he hasn't taken it to heart just a four-tailed fox.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin!" After the four-tailed fox Yu left, Xu Xiaofei didn't care that he didn't wear an outer robe, and his inner clothes were torn by fox claws, and he walked around the courtyard several times in a row, "We're all going to worship the Loose Sect and start the path of cultivation! Are you very calm?"

Lin Yan just smiled when he heard this: "Well, we will be the same door in the future." Good junior brother, call senior brother to listen. He said softly.

"But you—you're not necessarily older than me!"

"If you just agreed, you won't recognize it?"

"Why don't you admit it," Xu Xiaofei said immediately, "Master...... Hello brother. ”

"Good. Lin Yan responded casually, and said, "I think the head of the sect will summon us tomorrow, you might as well think about it tonight, what are you going to cultivate, and which way to go? There are also many ways to cultivate immortals, you can learn swords, academic methods, alchemy, and formations...... Although I have not cultivated the Tao, I know that it is best to specialize in one subject. If you have to swing your sword and cast a spell like you just did, it will be difficult to do both. He glanced at the half-cut wooden sword broken on the stone floor, and Xu Xiaofei also followed his gaze.

Although it is inevitable that he will become an enemy in the future, Lin Yan doesn't mind calling him a few words now, anyway, Xu Xiaofei's future master will definitely say these words.

"That being the case, then I will learn the sword. I love swordsmanship and have always been eager to master it. Xu Xiaofei didn't think much about it, and asked Lin Yan again, "What about you?"

"I study alchemy. ”

"Have you already thought about it?Okay, then let's work hard together!"

If there was wine at this moment, Lin Yan had no doubt that he would pull himself to have a drink.

"Well, an effort. Lin Yan's reaction was much colder than his, "It's not dawn yet, I'll go to sleep again, and you can go back to your room to rest." Then he turned and went back to the house.

Even though he said this, he also knew that tonight, Xu Xiaofei would probably have a hard time sleeping.
