"Rank 10 spirit beast?" Yang Xian was obviously puzzled by this question.

Chiaki nodded seriously.

"Brother Qian, where did you hear the news? Rank 10 spirit beasts only exist in legends, and no one in this world has ever seen them. Yang Xian said with a smile.

When Qianqiu heard Yang Xian say this, he asked again: "Old Yang, the tenth-level spirit beast is just a legend?

Yang Xian also nodded seriously and said: "As far as I know, the most powerful spirit beast in the world now is the ninth-level spirit beast Qianji Beast of General Dongbai in front of the palace, Your Majesty's ninth-level Demon Demon Golden Dragon and the ninth-level spirit beast of the head of the four major sects, all in all, there are only a few ninth-level spirit beasts I know, as for the tenth-level spirit beast, I am afraid that no one has really seen it with their own eyes for thousands of years." ”

"There are only six ninth-level spirit beasts?" Qianqiu asked in surprise.

Yang Xian smiled: "That's definitely more than that, it's just that there are only a few ninth-level spirit beasts I know, and I still need to read more and have more knowledge." ”

Qianqiu glanced at Yang Xian: "Don't don't, don't read anymore, if you read again, you will really become a nerd, your knowledge is enough, you know a lot more than me." ”

"Brother Qian, there is no end to learning. Yang Xian did not refute, but said that there is no end to learning.

Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian quietly, he still recognized Yang Xian's learning spirit in his heart, but he didn't read much since he was a child, so he didn't have much interest.

"Brother Qian, just now you said that there is a tenth-level spirit beast, have you ever seen it?" Yang Xian asked.

Qianqiu shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but the elders in the family have talked to me, and it is said that the Fire Phoenix is one of the tenth-level spirit beasts." ”

Yang Xian nodded again and again as if he had gained some great knowledge: "Then according to what you say, maybe a level ten spirit beast really exists." ”

Qianqiu thought to herself: "Of course it exists, there is no reason for the master to lie to me, besides, the names are so detailed, as if I have seen them with my own eyes, and what do you say about the Kyushu wolf ...... in the Northwest Wilderness"

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden loud bang on the side of the street, and the two of them were startled, and hurriedly looked vigilantly, but no one was injured.

Unexpectedly, after the loud noise, people began to applaud, fold their hands, and close their eyes to pray for blessings.

The people who made the loud noise were dressed in brightly colored costumes and hats in the shape of various animals.

They all bow to the people and return the courtesy.

"It seems to be a warm-up for local customs. Yang Xian said.

Qianqiu nodded, Yang Xian guessed very accurately in these aspects, and what he said was also very correct.

Sure enough, after a few streets, there was also this kind of loud noise similar to a cannon battle, and people accepted it with a smile on their faces, praying for blessings, as if they were frightened by the loud noise, which was good.

Qianqiu and Yang first followed the local customs, and also silently prayed and prayed.

The two of them walked around the street for a long time, bought a lot of things, and returned to the county office It was already approaching evening.

Master Hu happened to be talking to a team of officials, and when he saw Yang Xian and Qianqiu coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "The two virtuous nephews have gone out for a walk, how about it, we are quite satisfied with the customs of Huoshen County." ”

"Satisfied, very characterful. Qianqiu replied with a smile, "Master Hu, I don't know something, why someone made a loud noise every other way on the street, and the people were very happy, what kind of custom is this?"

Master Hu laughed and explained: "This is to prepare for the fire god sacrifice ceremony for a while, and the whole county will have to make one hundred and eight rings, and the ceremony will start after the ringing." Every sound has a good meaning, so the people will pray for their own blessings. ”

"I see, it really makes sense. Yang Xian and Qianqiu said.

"Then let's go, the ceremony should be fast, and you can have dinner after the ceremony, and you can wronged the two virtuous nephews first. Seeing that the two of them were very interested in this, Master Hu stretched out his hand to invite.

Qianqiu and Yang nodded first, and then went to the scene with Lord Hu.

Turning around, the group arrived at an open space in the middle of the county, and the scene was already crowded with people.

In the middle of the ceremonial arena stood a long wooden pillar, surrounded by a flaming carpet that crossed the height of the house, and on top of it hung a red flower ball.

The officials separated the people so that Lord Hu could go in for the ceremony, and Lord Hu wanted to invite Qianqiu and Yang Xian to come forward, but the two politely refused.

The two felt that at this time, they should let the people of Huoshen County preside, and as outsiders, it was inconvenient for them to occupy too much attention.

Seeing that the two of them were so persistent, Master Hu could only give up.

Master Hu walked to the center, stood on a platform, just in front of the wooden pillar, and asked the master standing next to him in a low voice: "Master, what is the ring?"

"Back to my lord, the hundredth ring. Master replied patiently.

Just when the hundredth and first loud bang sounded in the county, Lord Hu began to speak.

But Qianqiu and Yang Xian couldn't understand a word, like a spell or a word, the people knelt down one after another, and the two people who shouted in their mouths couldn't understand it.

"It's probably their local language. Yang Xian frowned and said.

Qianqiu watched everyone kneel, and then asked Yang Xian: "Shall we kneel or not?"

"I just asked Master Hu, don't kneel, just stand and pray for blessings. Yang Xian said.

"Delicate, old Yang. Qianqiu raised his eyebrows and praised Yang Xian.

Sure enough, a considerable number of people at the scene did not kneel, but just looked at Master Hu with their hands folded.

When the loud bang reached the hundredth and eighth, the flower balls on the wooden pillar suddenly exploded and turned into a bright fire.

The people hurriedly got up and looked at the flower balls and cheered.

After a while, out of the burning fire came a bird, growing bigger and bigger, until it flew into the night, and flew farther and farther until it was out of sight.

"Is it a spirit beast? Lao Yang!" Qianqiu was stunned, he didn't expect such a play.

"Yes!" Yang first sensed the aura of spiritual power coming from the flying firebird, and replied, "But it won't exceed the second level." ”

Qianqiu looked at the firebird that was flying farther and farther, and said to Yang Xian, "Is this what they call the god of fire?" ”

"That's right, that's the god of fire, the fire phoenix, she left home and went to pursue glory again, which will bless our Funing in Huoshen County with good health!" A young man on the side heard Qianqiu's question, so he kindly replied.

"Fire Phoenix!" Qianqiu said excitedly, but he thought about it, it might not be the Fire Phoenix, otherwise how could the spiritual power be so low.

"Brother Tai, do you Vulcan appear in the red ball every year and then fly away?" Yang asked the young man first.

The young man looked at Yang Xian and Qianqiu with a smile and nodded: "Every year, the fire god will come, and it will fly away when June comes." ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he was a little excited in his heart, whether it was a real tenth-level spirit beast and a fire phoenix, at least there were some clues now.

"Brother Qian, what are you thinking?" Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu and frowned, but smiled.

Qianqiu pulled Yang aside first: "Let's go back first, and I'll talk to you about it later." ”

Yang Xian nodded, and then went back to the county office with Qianqiu.

Back at the county office, the two went back to the room, and the black cloth had not woken up yet.

Qianqiu looked at the black cloth, poured two glasses of water on the table, handed one to Yang Xian, and then said, "Old Yang, this fire phoenix may be real." ”

"Why?" Yang Xian heard a little strange, and said in his heart, could it be that the legendary tenth-level spirit beast really exists.

Qianqiu took a sip: "I don't know if it's accurate, the legend says that the phoenix will be reborn after death, once a year, and the spiritual power of Pannia is low, but as long as it rests for a while, its strength will soar, and it only takes an hour to recover all its spiritual power." ”

"You're saying that we just saw that the legendary phoenix was reborn, it's incredible. Yang asked again.

Qianqiu pondered for a moment, and then continued: "What do you think, what spirit beast has spiritual power just after birth?"

"No, the newborn spirit beasts are busy gathering their spiritual energy so that they can live. It's too late to consume spiritual power, so how can there be time to accumulate spiritual power. Yang Xian said.

"That was ..... just now," Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian meaningfully.

Yang Xian suddenly realized, and even stood up: "That spirit beast was born with the spiritual power of a first-level spirit beast! It is impossible to change to another spirit beast!"

"That's right, so I think that one just now might really be a tenth-level spirit beast Bathing Fire Phoenix. Chiaki said.

Yang thought for a while, and then sat down again: "Brother Qian, in fact, these are the speculations of the two of us, as long as someone summons a fire-type bird spirit beast from the contract talisman and burns the flower ball, the effect will be the same." ”

When Qianqiu heard it, what Yang Xian said was not unreasonable.

"Maybe we're a little preconceived. Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu and said.

When Chiaki thought about it, she also felt that she was making a big fuss, and that kind of effect was really easy to create just now.

Yang Xian stood up, patted Qianqiu's shoulder, and comforted him who was a little lost: "It's okay, Brother Qian, I still want to believe you." Rest early, tomorrow we have to hurry, not far from the Eastern Mountain. ”

Qianqiu stabilized his mind and nodded at Yang Xian: "It's okay, Old Yang, go and rest, I want to study the contract talisman." ”

"Okay, I'll go back to reading the book and rest again, see you tomorrow. Yang closed the door first and walked out.

Qianqiu stood up, looked at the black cloth that was still sleeping, kept snoring, and touched its head: "Little guy, you sleep so well." ”

Then, he sat cross-legged, took out the Heart Demon Bead, put it in the palm of his hand, and then began to meditate and cultivate.

It only took a while, and Chiaki was sweating profusely, and he opened his eyes to rest for a while.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Heibu had woken up, and he was standing in front of him at the moment, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't take his eyes off the heart demon bead, and it was still sticking out its tongue, as if it couldn't wait to swallow the heart demon bead in one gulp.

The black cloth head is facing forward, and when he opens his mouth, he is about to eat the heart magic bead.

Qianqiu withdrew the Heart Demon Bead with one hand, took out one hand and picked up the black cloth, and said, "You little guy is too greedy, if you eat this, I will fight with you." ”

The black cloth seemed to be very dissatisfied with Qianqiu's behavior, and kept swinging his four legs.

"I can let you go, but you can't fight my mind again, you know?" said Chiaki, looking at the black cloth and lighting up the Mind Orb.

Heibu listened to Qianqiu's words, and suddenly stopped making trouble, looked at Qianqiu with both eyes, looked at each other for a while, and actually nodded.

Chiaki was a little surprised, and slowly put down the black cloth.

The black cloth fell on all fours, and he didn't look at the heart demon bead in Qianqiu's hand again, so he threw himself on the table, took an apple in his mouth, and hid to the side to nibble on it.

Qianqiu looked at the black cloth eating the apple, looked at the heart demon bead with a serious expression, and thought: "The eyes of the black cloth looking at the heart demon bead are different from looking at other foods, it is clearly a look that you want to get, is there any secret to the black cloth." ”
