Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 38 was blocked by Huoshen County
Qianqiu immediately reined in the horse, watching the little monster stride on his short legs behind him, and try his best to catch up, looking at it, he couldn't bear it.
After a while, the little monster finally caught up, gasped for breath, and crouched not far away to watch Qianqiu.
Qianqiu got off the horse, walked over, picked up the little monster, looked at its well-behaved appearance, and felt a little unbearable: "Are you thinking about me?"
The little monster nodded desperately.
Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, Yang Xian smiled and said, "The little guy is destined for you, Brother Qian, if you don't want to bring it." There's nothing wrong with the little guy, he just eats a little more. ”
Chiaki looked at the little monster, took out a contract charm from her arms, and aimed it at it.
The strange thing is that there is no change in the contract symbol, and the little monster is about to bite when it opens its mouth.
"Eh, this can't be eaten. Chiaki took back the contract charm and said to the little monster.
"Old Yang, it really likes to eat. Chiaki smiled and carried it on the horse.
Chiaki wanted to hold it with one free hand, but who knew that the little monster struggled out and jumped on the head of the knife, and its little head shook forward, as if to call Chiaki to set off.
"Eh, it's strange, the knife isn't annoying! If something else was so fuss about it, it would have turned the sky upside down. Qianqiu looked at the little monster with teeth and claws and Yang Xian said.
Yang Xian smiled and said, "Maybe the little guy is not heavy." ”
"I see you're so dark, and it's as slippery as cloth to the touch, so I'll call you black cloth. Chiaki looked at the little monster and said.
When the little monster heard this, he waved his ears and jumped and jumped.
"Okay, if you agree, Heibu, let's go Lao Yang. Chiaki happily touched its head and set off again.
The knife ran fast, but the black cloth stood on it and didn't shake at all, moving with the horse's body.
"Lao Yang, you see, Heibu really has some ability. It can even ride a horse!" Chiaki looked a little stunned.
Yang Xian said: "Everything has a foundation, no matter what, the more it adapts to you, the easier it will be for you." Thousand brothers, in front of you is Huoshen County. He finished speaking, pointing to a point not far away.
Chiaki followed the look, and saw the city wall not far ahead.
After a while, the two arrived at the gate of the city, and three gilded characters hung high above the gate: "Huoshen County".
Many people gathered at the gate of the county seat, and people came and went on the official road, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were checking the people entering the county one by one, and after confirming that there was no danger, they were released into the county seat.
"Hey, you two boys, get off your horse and dismount!" An officer and soldier saw Qianqiu and Yang first riding over on horseback, and pointed with their hands.
Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu, and neither of them knew who he was talking about, because there were a few horseback riders next to them.
"Don't look at it, what are you looking at? There is money to pick up, the master is talking about you two boys. The officer and soldier walked up to the two men.
The officers and soldiers looked closer, they were not tall, with long faces and pointed noses, and they looked at the two with disdain with their slanted mouths.
Qianqiu and Yang Xian got off the horse, Yang Xian looked at the officers and soldiers and said politely: "This brother, I don't know what's going on?"
"What's the matter? Look at you two boys, you don't look like good people, who are your brothers? Where are you from? What are you doing in Huoshen County? Say it quickly. The officers and soldiers circled around Qianqiu and Yang Xian, and kept looking at the two of them, and two officers and soldiers behind saw that their boss had stopped them and followed.
Qianqiu was furious when he saw it, so he said: "This official, we are from Huanghu City in the Evil Ghost State, we are looking for people in the north, we will go to the city for one night, and we will leave tomorrow morning." ”
"Shut up, the official is also called by you?" A soldier in the back stepped forward and scolded, "This is our Yan Ye, the commander of the Beicheng City, Yan Ye!" He raised his eyebrows, crooked his mouth, and said arrogantly, as if the world was his.
"Go, go, go. Yan Tongsi walked over and kicked away the little soldier, "Lao Tzu Xing will not change his name or change his surname, Yan Youlong." ”
Qianqiu and Yang Xianxin said, who cares what your name is, we just want to enter the city.
Yan Youlong continued: "There are no good people in the Evil Ghost State, you know? The bandit leader caught last month is from the Evil Ghost State. If you two want to enter the city, you can pay a deposit of twenty taels to ensure that you two will not do anything bad. ”
As soon as Qianqiu heard it, he understood that this Yan Tongsi saw that they were outsiders and wanted to get the toll.
Yang Xiangang wanted to say something, but Yan Youlong glared: "If you don't make a counteroffer, you can't lose a penny!"
Yang Xian heard it: "Yan Tongsi, I have to pay a deposit when I enter a city? It's convenient for you......."
"Shut up! I, Yan Youlong, a gentleman, say a word, it's hard to chase a horse! I am upright, and my sleeves are clean! How can I give you this opportunity! Twenty taels is twenty taels, if you don't give it to me, get out." Yan Youlong turned around and left.
At this time, a group of people ran out of the city, the leader was wearing the county magistrate's hat, presumably the county magistrate of Huoshen County, he saw some people surrounded here, and then came over, and said: "What's the matter?"
Yan Youlong hurriedly ran over when he saw that the county order was coming, and replied respectfully: "My lord, the two Diao people are making trouble, and I am about to drive them away." ”
The county magistrate with a serious face looked at Qianqiu and Yang Xian who were standing in the distance, drove their horses over, and when they got closer, their expressions changed, and they immediately got off the horse, and hurriedly came over and grabbed Yang Xian's hand: "Yang Xian's nephew, why did you come here?"
Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, he was not the only one who was stunned, Yan Youlong and the soldiers under him just now were also stunned.
Yang Xian took a look, saw the person in front of him clearly, and said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Ling Zun's health is okay, since the last time the Holy Capital was separated, I'm afraid it's been three years. Master Hu said excitedly.
Yang Xian nodded, not as excited as Lord Hu, and replied politely.
The two exchanged a few words, and Yang Xian introduced Qianqiu to Master Hu: "Uncle, this is my good brother, Qianqiu." ”
Master Hu only glanced at Qianqiu, reached over and symbolically patted Qianqiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Oh, oh, Qiangongzi, dignified, Jiangmen Huzi, Jiangmen Huzi." After speaking, he began to pull Yang Xian and continue to say something else.
Qianqiu raised her hand, feeling helpless and funny, and said in her heart: "This Lord Hu...... Let's do a full set of dramas. ”
"Come, prepare two upper rooms for your guests. You guys will stay in the county office tonight, and let's attend the ceremony together in the evening. Master Hu beckoned his subordinates to come over and said to the two of them.
Yang first looked at Qianqiu and asked Lord Hu, "What ceremony?"
Master Hu said: "The two virtuous nephews don't know, at the end of May today, Huoshen County will worship the God of Fire. ”
"Vulcan?" Chiaki asked again.
"A phoenix fairy bird born from fire. Haven't you heard of it?" this time it was Lord Hu's turn to wonder, "What our Vulcan County has worshiped for generations is the Fire Phoenix Immortal Bird. ”
"Born from the fire...... Chiaki pondered for a moment, why did he seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Yang Xian on the side didn't take it to heart and nodded slightly.
The group went home.
Qianqiu walked past Yan Tongsi, who was trembling and bent over, stood up, and asked with a smile, "Yan Tongsi, do you still need twenty taels?"
"Adults don't remember villains, where is this Qiangongzi, you and Yang Gongzi are rich and noble people at a glance, and you don't need twenty taels. Yan Tongji smiled all over his face.
Master Hu on the side heard the conversation between the two, glared at Yan Youlong and said, "You wait, see how I clean you up." ”
Then they entered the county of Huoshen.
Entering the county seat, Qianqiu found that the streets and alleys here are very distinctive, every household hangs a red phoenix bird of a puppet at the door, there are also many small shops on the street selling all kinds of small objects about the phoenix, and what is more conspicuous is the bucket that can be seen everywhere on the street, which is full of water, presumably to prepare for extinguishing the fire, it seems that the people of this county love fire and respect fire, and are also afraid of fire.
After entering the county office, Qianqiu returned to the room first, leaving Yang Xian and Master Hu to talk again.
When he got off the horse, the black cloth liked to squat on Chiaki's shoulder, and Chiaki felt that it was not heavy, so he followed it.
Back in the room, Qianqiu poured two glasses of water, one to the black cloth, and drank the other cup by himself, suddenly thought of it, slapped the table, and said to himself: "Reborn in the fire, fire phoenix, it shouldn't be the tenth-level fairy beast fire phoenix that the master said." ”
As soon as the words fell, the black cloth drinking water on the side raised his head and looked at Qianqiu, and whined twice.
"Black cloth, you drink water. Qianqiu thought it was choking, so she touched its head and said.
After a while, Heibu drank some water and fell asleep on the table.
Qianqiu looked at the little guy and shook his head helplessly: "You eat and drink, and you will sleep after drinking." ”
He took the black cloth aside, covered it with some quilts, and went out to find Yang Xian, it was not too late now, and he intended to find Yang Xian to go out for a walk, buy some food, and eat it on the road tomorrow.
When I walked to the county hall, I happened to meet Yang Xian coming out of the inner room.
"Old Yang, are you done talking?" Qianqiu asked as she looked at Yang Xian, who looked tired.
Yang wiped his sweat first, and then hammered his back: "Master Hu is so good at talking, I'm too tired to do it, and he still wants to continue to talk to me." ”
Qianqiu smiled: "Lao Yang, it seems that your father is very big, Lord Hu can't wait to stick to you when he sees you." ”
Yang Xian smiled bitterly: "Brother Qian, you can joke, my father's official worships the four products, and he is just an ordinary official in charge of grain and grass in the Holy Capital." ”
"Sipin, isn't this a big official?" Qianqiu said in surprise.
"Don't talk about this, Brother Qian, what do you want to do when you come out?" Yang asked first.
Qianqiu took out the Qiankun bag and shook it at Yang Xian: "Isn't this looking for you? Our reserves were almost eaten up by the black cloth. ”
"Go, I happen to be a little hungry too. The two hit it off, and then left the county office and entered the main street.
On the street, the two talked while strolling.
Qianqiu asked first: "Lao Yang, do you know the fire phoenix?"
"I don't know much about the fire phoenix, I remember that when I was a child, my husband once mentioned that it seems to be a high-level spirit beast. Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu thought to herself, Yang Xian, a person with a full stomach of ability, didn't know the situation of the fire phoenix, which showed that few people should know about the top ten immortal demonic beasts, but after a comparison, the master knew so much about immortal demonic beasts, how could she know so much?
"Old Yang, have you heard of the ten most powerful immortal demon spirit beasts in the world?" Qianqiu raised his eyebrows at Yang Xian and said.
