"Whew~" The black wolf who crossed the boundary of the Water Stopping Peak with Xuanyuan on his back noticed the pursuit of another person behind him, and actually sped up his pace and ran towards the top of the mountain.

At the same time, he rode a horse to chase after him, and Xuanyuan Jue, who entered the enchantment, realized that where the horse's hooves landed again, the scene changed abruptly. Different from the barren mountains and forests just now, in front of you, it is obviously a fairyland like a world away.

There was no time to stop, and now there were more important things for him to solve.

The black wolf that robbed his little brother, he must not stay!

It's still lightning, and it's on par with the chase, but it's just that it's always a few steps away.

"Huh? Brother!! Don't hurt it!! ”

Although it was bumpy and turbulent on the wolf's back, all the scenery around him was very blurry in Xuanyuan Qi's eyes. But the familiar figure not far away, she recognized, was her brother, who was aiming at the black wolf with an arrow and a bow.

I don't know if Xuanyuan Qi's voice became too small under the bump or because of other reasons, in short, Xuanyuan Qi pulled the bow in his hand for a full moon, as if he didn't hear what Xuanyuan Qi said at all.

"Whoosh!"

Sailor, super-flowing fire. An arrow flew into the star, and this arrow was about to hit the black wolf. Xuanyuan Qi's eyes also widened, and at this panicked moment, the black wolf struggled to leap high again. It didn't hurt a single bone and fell to the ground steadily.

And the arrow was hit in a basket that was suddenly thrown by someone.

"Oops, little black! You went out hunting and looking for food, how did you bring back two people? I'm telling you, you can't eat this on your back! ”

The owner of the basket is a female Taoist. She waved her hand at Xuanyuan to stop, and then nonchalantly pulled out the arrow from the basket and threw it on the ground.

The female Taoist boy touched the black wolf's head, dragged its ears again, and lowered her head without knowing what to say. I saw that the black wolf was carrying Xuanyuan Qi on his back again, not like a gallop all the way, steady and slow.

"Vomiting ......" calmed down from the bumps all at once, Xuanyuan Qi lay on the back of the black wolf, dizzy, and felt his stomach turn upside down, and he vomited breakfast directly.

Here, the female Taoist stranger curiously glanced at Xuanyuan Xuan's left eye, which was still wearing an eye patch. A pair of apricot eyes blinked, knowing that he shouldn't ask more, and at the same time didn't wait for Xuanyuan to speak, as if he knew what Xuanyuan was thinking, and solved his confusion.

"Xiao Hei is my younger brother, don't worry, he doesn't eat people. That little brother hurt his foot, so I asked Xiao Hei to take him to my master first. This guest, you and I are walking, not far from here, and we will be there soon. ”

Although Xuanyuan still had doubts in his heart, Xuanyuan Qi had been taken away by the black wolf, and now, he had no choice but to dismount, and let the female Taoist boy in front of him, who looked a few years younger than him, lead him to the road ahead.

The words of the female Taoist boy were indeed true, after getting off the horse, but after a few teas, Xuanyuan came to the bamboo house on the top of the mountain.

Hurriedly trotted into the yard, looking left and right, where is Xuanyuan Qi's figure? Ignoring the number of courtesies, Xuanyuan looked around the courtyard and ran directly into the bamboo house recklessly.

As for what it looks like...... When the owner of the bamboo house recalled with his unfortunate and unfortunate brother Yu Qinglin afterwards, he only said two words: Erhei.

"It turned out to be you, and you came early."

The owner of the bamboo house, the master of the female Taoist boy, casually reclined on a bamboo mat, with his back to the visitor, his head in one hand, and a glass of wine in the other, which was about to be put in his mouth.

Xuanyuan heard her words, and didn't know what she meant, and a voice of doubt immediately came out, "Huh? ”

Although the visitor had approached, the owner of the bamboo house had no intention of getting up, and was still lying on the ground, and she had eaten a glass of wine, and she stood there with one leg crossed.

"That's it, that little devil has a sprained ankle, so you can rest here until I tell him to take you back."

After speaking, the owner of the bamboo house got up, pointed to the couch on the side of Xuanyuan Jue, and then crossed the screen in the main hall of the bamboo house and left.

With the finger of the owner of the bamboo house, who had only turned his back to him, Xuanyuan Jue also noticed that the person on the couch was Xuanyuan Qi who he was worried about.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, don't be a picky eater! Shrewd! Also, the guest's horse cannot be eaten. ”

In the courtyard outside the bamboo house, the female Taoist boy tied the horse for Xuanyuan and put the basket aside. When she turned around, she took a plate of wild fruits from the side of the house and put it in front of the black wolf she called "Little Black" who was lying on the eaves with a "cooing" belly.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to think of something, so she picked up three wild pears from the plate and staggered into the house.

"Give." The female Taoist boy was hearty and generous, and stuffed the two older wild pears into the hands of Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan. There is another one, the female Taoist boy rubbed her black Taoist robe casually, and put it into her mouth.

The female Taoist boy chewed a few "crunch, crunch" crisp sounds, and the two people who took the fruit also bit the fruit together.

......As soon as he took his mouth, the juice of the fruit broke out wantonly in Xuanyuan's mouth, but it was sour and astringent, and he felt that his mouth was full of sourness. But when he saw that there was nothing unusual about the big and small ones on this side, he frowned slightly, and ate the remaining half of the fruit in his hand without changing his face.

The fruit of the same size became much larger in Xuanyuan Qi's much smaller hand, but even when she was eating the fruit, it couldn't stop her from calling people "sister" sweetly without seeing it.

"Good sister, why is your brother called 'Little Black'?" As he spoke, Xuanyuan pointed to the black wolf lying under the eaves outside the house, holding a plate of fruits with his two front paws and eating broken fruits all over his face.

The female Taoist boy smiled, threw the last bit of fruit in her hands into her mouth accurately, and then touched the back of her head.

"He was still young when he was brought over by my uncle, and he was often held in my arms or in the basket behind him, and I saw that he was dressed in shiny black hair, so I gave him the name 'Little Black', but now it seems that he may have to change his name to 'Big Black'......"

I don't know what the reason is, although Xuanyuan Qi and the female Taoist boy are a few years apart in age, they hit it off at first sight and chatted happily.

"Eh, by the way, there is a lotus pond behind this house, and the red carp in the lotus pond is very beautiful. Now is the time, and it's time to feed them. Would you like to come along? ”

It's hard to resist the hospitality, coupled with Xuanyuan Qi's playful nature. Even if Xuanyuan just wanted to stay where he was, waiting for another person in the bamboo house owner's mouth to pick them up, he couldn't resist Xuanyuan Qi's pitiful appearance.

Without saying a word, Xuanyuan picked up Xuanyuan Qi on his back, and followed the female Taoist to the edge of the lotus pond behind the house.

When I didn't come to the Zhishui Peak where the bamboo house was located, Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Qi were located in the deep mountains and forests of the northern suburbs of the poor winter and strong winds. If there is any difference between this water-stopping peak and the deep mountains and forests, the most obvious point is that it is like an early summer scene.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Qi took off the heavy fur on their bodies early in the morning, and only wore a civilian clothes on their bodies. However, under Xuanyuan Xuan's thick black coat, there is not only a casual clothes, but also a layer of close-fitting soft armor in addition to the casual clothes, which is no wonder he looks a lot bloated during winter hunting today.

The three of them, who were still regarded as children in terms of age, sat side by side on a bamboo mat by the lotus pond, and Xuanyuan Jue, who was wearing a soft armor, was quite out of place.

Here, the female Taoist boy took the basket from the front yard. In the basket, in addition to the herbs she had just taken out and were waiting to be dried, there was also half a basket of steamed buns.

Each person has a steamed bun, and at the same time, the female Taoist boy said a word to the two people next to him as if she was telling her own little black. "It's for feeding the fish." He began to patiently demonstrate to them again.

"The steamed buns have to be pulled off with the tips of your fingers and made to the size of mung beans. It can't be too big, these carp can't eat it in a few bites, and it can't be too small, as soon as it is small, it will soak in the water, and they can't eat it. ”

The head is the Tao, and the female Taoist child's hand did not stop, I saw her rubbing the steamed bun a few times, raising her hand, dotted with stars, and the general-sized steamed bun crumbs were thrown into the lotus pond by her.

As the female Taoist boy threw it several times in a row, Xuanyuan Jue was surprised to find that a group of red carp swimming half-hidden and half-visible on the water surface were actually lined up in a Tai Chi figure.

Here, Xuanyuan Qi naturally noticed the changes in the carp, and felt very novel in his heart. The two little hands couldn't help clapping, and they couldn't stop shouting: "Sister is amazing!" ”

Just when the three of them looked at the red carp in the lotus pond and couldn't take their eyes off it. From behind came the voice of the owner of the bamboo house, helpless and headache.

"Fei'er, you go to the foot of the mountain to find your confused uncle and bring him over, but he is trapped again."

Hearing the master's command, the female Taoist boy immediately got up, covered her mouth and smiled softly, and then jumped and ran to the front yard again, lying on Xiao Hei's back. It's just that Xiao Hei didn't get up, and his eyes were closed, as if he had just carried Xuanyuan Qi over and used his strength, and now he was very reluctant to use the idea of this female Taoist boy wanting to use it to walk down the mountain.

Seeing this, the female Taoist boy gently stroked the fine hairs on Xiao Hei's ears with her hand, lowered her head, and lied to her own Xiao Hei with a voice that others couldn't hear clearly.

"You also heard, the master said that the uncle is here, he must have brought the roast chicken again, if you don't go, then the two chicken legs will belong to me this time!"

Tried a hundred ways, the female Taoist child tried many times. As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Hei opened her eyes, and the pair of ears that she usually likes to play with were also pricked up. The next moment, Xiao Hei had already carried the female Taoist boy and hurried down the mountain.

The owner of the bamboo house did not seem to be as hospitable as his own precious apprentice, and Xuanyuan remembered that since he came to the present, this master had only spoken two words together.

Even if he is a Taoist who escapes the world, he naturally does not want to pay much attention to his own worldly people.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! ”

As the pieces of steamed buns that were almost the size of a dragon's eye were thrown into the water one by one, the carp in the lotus pond not only did not swim in a different direction as the naughty little ghost wished, but all of them scattered all at once, avoiding far away, as if they were afraid of being smashed by this large piece of steamed buns.

"Alas...... Monkey business! Look at you, you've scared the fish away! ”

Just now, he had been staring at the school of fish swimming according to the pattern of Tai Chi, and Xuanyuan gradually became distracted. It wasn't until he was so troubled by Xuanyuan Qi who was sitting next to him that he was suddenly shocked. Although he wanted to be disgusted, when the words came to his mouth, he softened, and the hand he raised only flicked Xiaodouding's forehead lightly.

"Qi'er didn't mess around, just now that sister used her usual feeding method to make these carp swim as she wanted, I used my method to ......"

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Qi threw a handful of steamed buns in a row. However, apart from the new ripples, there was still no carp swimming.

Xuanyuan smiled dumbly and touched his little bean's head. I took the remaining half of the steamed bun from her hand, little by little, and kneaded it into the size of a mung bean as carefully as the female Taoist said.

Unlike the female Daotong, Xuanyuan did not throw the steamed buns up, but popped out among the lotus leaves like a little sporadic light rain. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a few red carp came out from under the lotus leaves, poked their heads out of the water, and ate the steamed bread crumbs.

"Qi'er, you see, although you were so fierce before, you scared the carp, but as long as you soften your temperament after scaring them, like this, give them a little sweetness, they will be obedient to you again, and obey your words."

Listening to Xuanyuan Xuan's ulterior words on the edge of the lotus pond outside the house, the owner of the bamboo house shook his head, put down the wine cup in his hand, and the five slender fingers of his left hand, which were covered by a black glove, lightly tapped back and forth on the bamboo slip in front of him in turn.

"Even if it's a carp that has lived long enough, it's just for the steamed buns in your hand, it doesn't matter if you're a yaksha or a fairy."

The left hand picked up a wolf hair that was resting on the ground, and the owner of the bamboo house wrote only a few strokes on the bamboo slip and put it down again, picking up the wine cup.

A pair of eyes that even if they are closed, they know that they are extremely good-looking, although they don't know anything else, but everything inside and outside the house, even if it is a leaf floating on the ground in the nearby bamboo forest, can't escape the heavenly eye hidden in a bamboo leaf-like vermilion mark at the center of her eyebrows.

Outside, the conversation between Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan continued. Although it was a conversation, the person who spoke was always Xuanyuan alone.

"You see, for them, this steamed bun is everything to compete for, but the steamed bun is only a little bit, so those small fish can only be squeezed far away."

In the lotus pond, the fish all came out of the lotus leaves, and because of the few steamed bread crumbs on the water surface, they were squeezed into a ball, and their tails made the water surface sound from time to time.

It wasn't a cruel sight, but when Xuanyuan looked up at his brother, he found that the grim smile appeared on his face again.

This smile is the third time she has seen it now.

The first time was the night they arrived at the camp after the assassination, and she was so worried about him that she went to look for him, and found that he had drunk too much liquor and was sitting there alone, with such a smile on his face.

The second time, not long ago, when she was celebrating her birthday, the emperor's uncle ordered someone to send a basket of fresh and fatty crabs. He smiled as he watched the crabs in the basket step on each other, scrambling to climb upwards in vain.

The third time, Xuanyuan Qi always felt that there was something wrong with this smile, but he couldn't say it.

"Alas...... These stupid fish, who have lived for hundreds of years, are still being played like this by teenage children. ”

The owner of the bamboo house shook his head and muttered in his heart. I was about to pick up the pen again and write down something on the bamboo slips, but I was suddenly stunned by a bright light outside the window.

"How...... How come?! ”

Outside the house, the dazzling glare came from a blood lotus in the lotus pond. And this blood lotus, a moment ago, was still a flawless white lotus.

The white lotus turned into blood, and a cyan glass bead emerged from the lotus heart.

Xuanyuan Qi probably wouldn't have thought that all the demonic variables in front of her would rise from a drop of blood that she had just thrown off by her fingers that had been cut by the hole in the basket.

The fateful catastrophe caused by her will also be ended by her own hands.
