Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 37 Encountering Little Monsters on the Road
When Qianqiu heard this, her heart sank a little, and she had a feeling of loss, and then asked, "Where did she go?"
"I don't know, this is also what Xiao Er told me, maybe you don't want to go with us. It can be seen that Yang Xian is a little lost.
Yang Xian's loss was not because of anything, but he felt a little lonely because he felt that he was missing a partner.
"You say, didn't I keep talking about her, so she would leave?" Qianqiu also sat down, looked at Yang Xian in front of him and said.
"I don't know, in fact, don't be a girl with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, that day we were chased to the street by Sun Ruoqi, she was afraid of our safety, and rushed over regardless of the danger. Although she didn't act anxious after your disappearance, I could tell that she was more anxious than I was. Brother Qian, if you meet another girl in the future, don't stimulate her anymore. Although I also think she has a secret, I don't think it's directed at us. Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu listened to Yang Xian's words, and felt a little guilty in his heart, since the incident at the small tea stall, he did have some prejudice against Bei Ling's character, and thinking back on the bits and pieces of the past two days, he was indeed a little excessive.
Treating this aspect of the essence of things, he is not as clear as Yang Xian.
At this moment, the wooden ladder clicked, and a person came downstairs, and the two of them saw that it was Guigongzi Yu Culture.
He changed into a white robe today, tied his hair in a bun, carried his baggage, and walked out without squinting.
Qianqiu watched him turn over and get on the horse, gradually walked away, turned around and said to Yang Xian: "Why is it so coincidental, that kid is also gone." β
"Brother Qian, let's go on the road too, I asked Xiao Er to prepare a lot of food, and there shouldn't be any hunger on the road." Yang Xian said.
"Okay, put it in my Qiankun bag first!" Qianqiu heard it and thought, "This old Yang is really a person who lives a life, and his heart is so careful!"
The wind and dust were flying, and Qianqiu and Yang first left Huanghu City and rushed to the Oriental Sect.
To the east of Huanghu City is the Holy Capital, and the Dongfang Mountain, where the Oriental faction is located, happens to form a triangle with these two main cities.
The two places are thousands of miles apart, and it does take some time to travel.
"Brother Qian, we must arrive at the Eastern Sect before the sixth day of the sixth month of the Holy Calendar to take the entrance test. Yang Xian said to Qianqiu while riding a horse.
Chiaki said, "That's still too late. β
Over the mountains, and across the large and small rivers and lakes, the beautiful scenery along the way continues, Qianqiu can relax and enjoy this great river and mountain.
γMending Heaven Valleyγ
On this day, the two entered a small valley, surrounded by trees, and only a path in the middle was passable.
"Brother Qian, there is a small hill ahead, let's find a place to rest and rest. My horse isn't your knife, it's too tired. Yang Xian suggested.
Qianqiu glanced at Yang Xian, and then looked forward: "Old Yang, let's go there to rest and eat something." He pointed to a rock, where there was no fallen leaves, and the mountain wind blew the rock clean.
"Well, good. Yang first agreed.
The two got off the horse, and Yang first found some food for the two horses, and when he came back, he saw that Qianqiu had already put out the food.
"Old Yang, you try this, the chicken leg I got in the back kitchen of that inn yesterday is fragrant!" Qianqiu beckoned Yang Xian while grabbing a chicken leg to gnaw.
Yang first wiped the sweat on his body, walked over, took one and said with a smile: "Although it's cold, it still smells very good!"
"It's cold, I'll go find some firewood, let's roast it!" Chiaki excitedly proposed.
Yang Xian nodded in agreement.
Chiaki tossed and turned a few paths, and finally got into the woods.
As he walked, he occasionally picked up a few branches and looked at them, and found that they were all wet.
"It seems that it has rained here two days ago, and the sun can't shine on it, and if you pick up such a branch, you won't be able to make a fire. Chiaki wondered.
Unconsciously, Chiaki walked out for a distance, and he was looking for dry firewood in the forest when he suddenly heard a voice, whining like a child's voice.
The sound came from a small bush, and Qianqiu felt the grass to find it, and said that someone should have left the child here, but he looked around, there was no road here, and there was no road here, and who would leave the child here.
Chiaki carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of her and found that there was a small monster lying inside, not a child.
The little monster is not big, the size of an ordinary puppy, it is pitch black, only the eyes are white, and the round eyes are inlaid on the uneven face like a jewel, and then look closely at its body, there are long and short black stripes, because the whole body is black, the stripes are only different shades of color, and you can't really see it if you don't look carefully.
It seemed to have eaten something, and had been hitting its throat with its front legs, whining, and rolling all over the ground.
"So ugly, what is this?" Chiaki thought the little monster was ugly at first sight, and couldn't help but think to herself.
After probing, the little monster has no aura emanation, it shouldn't be a spirit animal, but it doesn't look like an ordinary animal.
Chiaki looked at the little monster and found that it kept rolling, so she didn't care about the ugly things, and reached out to hug it, wanting to help it see.
At this moment, the little monster saw Qianqiu, hurriedly stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at Qianqiu with bared teeth, his throat was still bulging, and it looked like it was still very uncomfortable.
"Oh, I'm here to help you, what are you hiding?" said Qianqiu as she looked at the little monster.
The little monster was uncomfortable, and he didn't have a good time, so he went to pound his neck.
Qianqiu quickly carried it over, and as soon as his hand touched its throat, there was a round object, and then he slapped it hard, and the bulging object actually went down his throat.
The little monster broke free and kept spinning in place, whining at Qianqiu from time to time.
"You don't want to spit it out, do you......" Chiaki looked at the little monster in embarrassment, her stomach flashing brightly, and she felt as if she had misunderstood what it meant.
But soon, the little monster stopped screaming, and just stood with its eyes wide open, staring blankly at Chiaki.
Qianqiu saw that the little guy was fine, looked at the firewood in his hand, and said that it should be enough, so he said to the little monster: "Since you are fine, then I will go, you are careful." β
He got up and left, and before leaving, he glanced at the little monster, and found that the little guy was still standing dumbly looking at him, so he turned back with confidence and looked for his way back.
"Old Yang, I'm back!" Qianqiu held a small bundle of dry firewood, drilled out of the woods, and shouted happily to Yang Xian not far away.
Yang Xian had already picked up a few stones, set up a platform on top of the big rock, and was waiting for Qianqiu to come back at this time.
"Thousand Brothers......" Yang first saw Qianqiu coming over and agreed, but then stopped talking, he saw that there was a black puppy following Qianqiu, but it didn't look like a dog if you looked closely.
When Qianqiu got closer, Yang first took the firewood and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qian, did you come back from picking up a puppy?"
When Chiaki heard this, she looked back and saw that it was a little monster who followed.
He squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand, and beckoned the little monster to come: "Can't you find your way?
The little monster hesitated for a moment at first, then slowly walked over, squatting not far away and looking at Qianqiu.
Qianqiu saw that the little guy was still a little scared, so he stood up and said to Yang Xian: "When I went to collect firewood, I met it, and I choked on eating, so I helped it." Old Yang, what kind of animal is this, do you know?"
Yang Xian looked at it for a long time and shook his head: "This is to forgive me for being lonely, I have never seen this kind of animal." β
Qianqiu didn't recognize Yang Xian when she heard it, so she didn't care anymore, and roasted meat with Yang Xian.
After roasting for a while, the aroma of the meat wafted up, and the golden meat pieces squeaked with oil, and Chiaki sprinkled some chili powder on them, making the meat pieces even more attractive.
Qianqiu picked up a skewer of meat, blew it, sniffed it again, took a careful bite, and then rolled the meat pieces back and forth in his mouth: "It's hot, it's hot, but it's fragrant." β
He shouted but laughed, and the meat tasted very good.
At this time, the little monster saw Chiaki eating meat, kept sticking out his tongue, and his eyes opened wider.
Qianqiu saw it at a glance, and said to Yang Xian: "I think it should be a relatively rare dog, hahaha." After saying that, he walked over with a meat skewer, broke a small piece, and fed it to the little monster.
When the little monster saw it, he hurriedly swallowed it, and quickly looked at the meat in Qianqiu's hand.
"Okay, okay, it's all for you, I like to eat it. Chiaki smiled and handed the rest of the meat into the little monster's mouth.
After Chiaki finished giving it, he was ready to go back and get a new string.
The little monster also wagged its tail and followed.
"Do you still want to eat it?" Chiaki looked back and saw it coming again.
The little monster seemed to understand, and nodded desperately.
Qianqiu then took another bunch, blew it, gave it to it, and said, "Eat slowly." β
Yang Xian watched Qianqiu feed the little monster, and also took a piece to feed it, but the little monster didn't appreciate it, and didn't even look at the meat that Yang Xian handed over.
"Brother Qian, it seems that this little guy likes you very much, but I won't feed it. Yang Xian also smiled.
Chiaki looked at the little monster and gently touched its head, the little monster ate the meat, squinted its eyes, shook its head, and seemed to enjoy it.
The meat was almost eaten, and the two dismantled the table, took water to extinguish the fire, and sat for a while.
Chiaki squatted and looked at the little monster carefully, and found that it looked really strange, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't find an animal that could match it.
"Brother Qian, we have to go, and we must get to the next village or city before dark, so that we can avoid staying overnight in the mountains. Yang first opened the map and looked at it and said to Qianqiu.
Chiaki asked, "Where are we now?"
"We just came out of the Demon State, and this place should be ...... Mending the Sky Valley. Yang looked at it first and replied.
"Mending Heaven Valley?" asked Chiaki.
"The place where Nuwa cultivated the Heaven Replenishing Stone is said to be named, but it should be a local legend, half-truths and half-truths, no one can say. β
Qianqiu looked around for a moment and said, "I see that this Mending Heaven Valley is located at the junction of the Good God State and the Evil Ghost State, and the aura is quite sufficient, there should be many spirit beasts." Maybe this little guy is a spirit beast cub. β
"Brother Qian, don't think about it so much, I think this little guy should be a strange ordinary animal, and there are no aura fluctuations on his body. Yang Xian said.
"That's right. That little one, you're well fed and drunk, we're leaving, be careful yourself. Chiaki touched the little monster's head and said.
The little monster looked at Chiaki and stood still.
"Let's go!" Chiaki swiped the knife.
The wind and dust are flying, and the two are on the road again.
Yang Xian inadvertently glanced back, and then said to Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, it's coming up." β
