The night had already fallen, and Cheng Xiaoxi was lying on the trunk of a towering tree, holding his head in both hands, his feet hanging down naturally, biting a thin branch in his mouth, and saying to the war spirit somewhere under the tree: "Senior, I'm hungry." ”

Somewhere in the shadows under the tree, there was a sound of turning over, and then a voice said angrily: "Don't you have long hands, don't you know how to catch yourself?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of "cooing ......" from the branches, and the war spirit raised his head, glanced at the tree obliquely, and then said helplessly: "After living for such an age, you are still the first person who can call me." ”

Watching the war spirits slowly get up, and then disappear into the night, Cheng Xiaoxi's heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, he had seen the three spirits, where they were as fierce as the legends, they were even more reliable than some people.

I didn't let Cheng Xiaoxi wait too long, and after a while, the voice of the war spirit sounded under the tree again, "Come down." ”

Cheng Xiaoxi climbed down the tree, the war spirit sat on the ground on its hind legs like a family dog, and in front of it were two huge hares, Cheng Xiaoxi smiled at the war spirit, and then picked up the hare and ran down the mountain, the war spirit looked around, and then quietly followed him.

When I went up the mountain, I found that there was a clear spring in the middle of the mountain, which flowed down the mountain stream and converged into a small pool at the bottom, which came in handy at this time. After the rabbit meat was cleaned, Cheng Xiaoxi found some dry grass and firewood to use as a fire for barbecue, the only regret was that he didn't bring seasoning or anything like that.

After Cheng Xiaoxi piled up the dry firewood, he looked at the war spirit, the war spirit rolled his eyes, and then his dark nose twitched, and a wave of heat erupted from his mouth, which ignited the firewood in an instant.

On the edge of the fire, looking at the gradually browned rabbit meat on the wooden frame, one man and one animal drooled for a long time, smelling the aroma of barbecue, and his heart was as impatient as a cat scratch.

Cheng Xiaoxi is not good at cooking, how do you know if it is cooked or not, until the fire gradually goes out, he still doesn't have much confidence in his heart, he tore off a hind leg and handed it to the war spirit, and whispered: "Senior, you taste it first." ”

The war spirit was very shrewd, where did he not know what he was planning in his heart, so he took a big bite and swallowed the rabbit leg whole, Cheng Xiaoxi stroked his forehead and sighed, while pulling the rabbit meat, he stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "No matter, no matter, protect, it is important to save your life." ”

After a storm and clouds, Cheng Xiaoxi patted his belly with satisfaction, he only ate half of the two hares, and the rest all went into the bottomless mouth of the war spirit, filling his stomach, Cheng Xiaoxi climbed the tree again, the war spirit was still lying under the tree, and one man and one beast spent the first night after leaving the southern Xinjiang in the wild.

......

In the early morning, the sun sprinkled on Cheng Xiaoxi's face through the gaps in the branches, the mountains and fields were heavy, he snorted "Ha Hu", and heard a friction sound in a daze, he rubbed his eyes, and then tilted his head to look under the tree, only to see the war spirit landing on his hind legs, and his two front paws scratched back and forth on the bark, and there was a sound that made people's scalps tingle.

Cheng Xiaoxi turned over and complained with a sad face: "Senior, you woke up so early." ”

The War Spirit looked at him, but didn't answer, and continued to sharpen its sharp claws.

After Cheng Xiaoxi got up, he sat on the trunk of the tree, and after being stunned for a while, he drew a stream of spiritual power from his waist to drain the dew attached to his body, and finally relaxed his waist, and then climbed down the trunk.

"Let's go, senior, we need to get the news out as soon as possible, otherwise the temple's goal is still in Wanze. ”

Zhan Ling looked at Cheng Xiaoxi's serious appearance, and somehow suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart, it seems that the old turtle's vision of people is indeed accurate, as early as so many years ago, he decided that Cheng Xiaoxi's heart was trustworthy, and he was even more willing to cultivate for a plummet, forcibly forced out his own spiritual yuan, and gave it to Cheng Xiaoxi to store spiritual power.

"Little friend, what are you doing this for?"

Cheng Xiaoxi stopped quite unexpectedly, he looked at the battle spirit, his resolute face was filled with a layer of unknown brilliance, and said: "After all, Southern Xinjiang is where I grew up, there are my masters and brothers, my relatives and partners, and there are precious memories worthy of my life. ”

Looking back at the south again, Cheng Xiaoxi turned his head and walked forward firmly, behind him, the war spirit followed step by step, a man and a beast dragging a long shadow in the sun, striding towards an unknown tomorrow.

There is a town two hundred miles northwest of Qinglong City, called Fengwu, this city has a long history, after countless years of repair and reinforcement, now the city wall stands, the tower is towering, the southern army has always been here to train recruits, so the defense is extremely strict. Cheng Xiaoxi and the War Spirit went straight to this place after leaving the endless mountains, intending to leak their whereabouts so that the temple's eyes could be diverted to themselves.

A man and a beast stood outside Fengwu City openly, and they didn't care about the guidance of passers-by, so even the soldiers who were checking at the city gate also paid more attention to them, just because this combination of man and beast was really eye-catching, so people couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.

The human race in the Shenzhou continent is prosperous, and rare birds and beasts often only appear in the poor mountains and bad waters, and rarely appear in human cities.

Unlike what Cheng Xiaoxi thought, he was not pursued by the soldiers of Fengwu City after he appeared, everyone only regarded them as lively, and no one thought of their identities at all.

After standing for a while, Cheng Xiaoxi saw that the soldiers at the city gate still did not move, so he set off and walked towards the city gate, since no one recognized them, why not go into the city and make a fuss, so that it will always attract the attention of the temple!

"Senior, it doesn't seem that your prestige is very big, and no one can recognize it. ”

As Cheng Xiaoxi walked, he turned his head sideways and spoke to the battle spirit, and after a little effort, the two arrived at the gate of the city.

In front of the wide city gate, several soldiers immediately stepped forward to interrogate, Cheng Xiaoxi could only make up a false identity to fool, seeing that the soldiers were suspicious, and then he blinked, secretly stuffed a silver ticket, several soldiers rushed up, and after carefully checking the face value of the silver ticket, he smiled and got out of the way.

"Buy some wine for the brethren. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi patted his shirt and walked into the city gate while arching his hand, the war spirit saw that it was so easy to enter the city, and immediately gave Cheng Xiaoxi an approving look, Cheng Xiaoxi smiled "hehe", his pace suddenly accelerated, and then he entered the city.

Facing the city gate is a square, covering an area of dozens of zhang square, the ground is made of wide white stones, there is a stone statue of a man standing in the middle of the square, the angry eyes give people a sense of majesty and solemnity. Looking down, I saw that the stone statue man had his left hand behind his back, looking free and easy, and his right hand was holding a bronze tripod the size of a grinding plate, the color was simple and deep, and the wall was also carved with patterns.

Somehow, Cheng Xiaoxi looked at the stone statue, and suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, he always felt that the eyes of the stone statue were staring at him, and when his face changed, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears.

"Don't keep staring at the stone statue, this statue implies a holy thought, if you look at it for a long time, the body of the holy statue will also feel it. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly retracted his gaze, and his body involuntarily retreated several steps, he thought to himself that the Holy Venerable was really powerful, a stone statue could also hide mysteries, and its divine thoughts were even more powerful, and it could even be separated from the body.

Bypassing the square, Cheng Xiaoxi looked at the streets left and right, and finally chose a restaurant near the square, a young man led him up to the second floor, Cheng Xiaoxi ordered a few dishes at random, and sat down near the window.

The war spirit jumped onto the chair next to Cheng Xiaoxi in style, smelling the smell of wine in the air, and then it turned its head and looked at the young man beside it, and the eyes of the two beasts also showed a longing light.

Cheng Xiaoxi understood the meaning of the war spirit, and hurriedly shouted to the little guy who had already walked to the stairs, and said loudly: "Little brother, add another pot of good wine!"

"Great!"

The little guy answered enthusiastically, and then disappeared into the corridor.

After the little servant left, the war spirit dared to speak, only to see it put its head flat on the table, and said with a confused look in his eyes: "The most praiseworthy thing about human beings is that they can create fine wines that are as clear as jade. ”
