Daoist Tian didn't intend to go in and disturb these people, so he continued to walk forward.

Some distance ahead, the number of victims sitting on the side of the road against the wall gradually increased, most of them were yellow and thin, and they looked like they had lost their souls, as if they had lost their confidence in life, and they were in a panic and could not live all day.

This place was also familiar, he had come here before in search of a fellow believer in this place. However, the Qinghong Daoist has passed away, so he is empty, just chatting with his son for a while, which can be regarded as a good conversation.

But if it's here, because of the more mixed situation, maybe the possibility of the bird demon hiding here will also be small......

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly paused, looked back, and saw only the bungalows behind him and the people who were like walking corpses, and there seemed to be nothing particularly noteworthy.

"Strange...... Who is it......

He had just sensed as if someone was secretly watching him, which alerted him immediately.

Since someone is eyeing him, then he is not in a hurry to leave, and maybe he can find any clues.

Behind him, in the narrow alley around the corner, a boy in a somewhat shabby linen dress was shrinking his head in fear, trying to completely hide himself behind the wall, for fear that he would be discovered.

"It's dangerous...... This Taoist priest didn't expect it to be quite powerful, and he was almost discovered! He gasped twice and patted his chest, as if the look on his face was still saying "so dangerous."

After a long time, he said to himself with some uncertainty, "You should go...... Do you want to take a look? ”

With this in mind, he tried to look around to make sure of the other party's whereabouts.

However, when he just poked out, he happened to meet a face that seemed to be smiling, and seemed to be trying to see what tricks he could come up with.

The boy was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a moment, but then he was so frightened that he screamed and staggered back two or three steps, and he didn't know what to stumble and fell to the ground with a thud, rubbing his elbow with a bitter face: "Pain, pain, pain, ......"

But soon he reacted, and he didn't care about the pain in his body, and raised his head to look at the young Taoist priest in front of him in some panic: "You, you...... Why are you here? ”

"This question should be asked to you!" Daoist Tian took two steps closer and reached out to pick him up from the dirty ground, and asked with some amusement, "What are you going to do with me?" I'm not a dragon lord, so I don't have any tribute for you to eat! ”

This boy is the guy he met last night who dared to steal tribute at the Dragon King Temple. Because although he is not very old, he is very righteous and knows how to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, so Daoist Tian still has a good impression of this child.

"I'm ......," the boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm not here to ask you for food." I just happened to see you walking around like looking for something, so I wanted to follow you to see if I could help. ”

As soon as he raised his eyes, he noticed that Daoist Tian looked suspicious, he patted his chest vigorously, and said loudly as a little adult: "Don't look down on us because we are children, we are very righteous!" Yesterday we were in the same boat, so we can be considered friends! ”

"Fellow ......" Daoist Tian was a little speechless, but thinking that this kid probably hadn't studied seriously, he didn't continue to care about these things, but asked curiously, "Then if I want to find something, can you help?" ”

"Absolutely!" When the child saw him admit himself, he put on a very confident look, "We are very comfortable here, because we are young, many adults will not pay special attention to us, and we are also clear about some things that others don't know, and we have found the right person to find out the news!" ”

"But if you can find it, this ...... Give us some hard money too! The boy said confidently.

"Of course." Daoist Tian smiled and immediately asked, "Then have you ever seen a very beautiful bird here?" It's not the ordinary kind, it's something special. ”

"If you have any clues, you can get food from me."

"Birds? Is it the kind that flies in the sky? "The boy doesn't seem to understand, this is a request that he has never heard of, but it sounds quite simple, so he might as well inquire about it. It's more interesting than asking the rich about the gossip in their homes.

"And if there's news, where are I going to find you?"

"I'll be here today, if there's any news, come here and find it."

……

It's just a little unexpected that he gets the clues much faster than he thinks.

"You mean, you've ever seen a beautiful bird?"

When the sun was about to set, it was still the alley where no one was around, this time in addition to Daoist Tian and the boy, there was another little girl who was brought over who was snorting and a little timid, looking at the strange Taoist priest in front of her with big round eyes, and then quietly hiding behind the boy, only half of her small head was exposed, and she was very afraid of life.

However, Daoist Tian remembered that yesterday the little girl was also among the people who were stealing tribute.

"Well......" she replied in a childish voice as thin as a mosquito, "I have seen the bird several times, but only at a very late hour, not only by me, but by several of my brothers. ”

"Well, why haven't I seen it?" The boy looked puzzled.

The girl covered her mouth and smiled: "Because brother, you sleep so hard every night, you can't wake up no matter how you push, of course you can't see it!" ”

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment and snorted.

However, Daoist Tian's attention was already attracted by what the girl said, and he asked, "Tell me the specific situation again!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of baked cake that was intended to satisfy his hunger and handed it to the other party, as compensation in exchange for clues.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw this piece of biscuit, which was already cold but still looked delicious, and as if she was afraid that he would regret it, she quickly took it and hid it in her arms, and then whispered: "The first time I saw that beautiful bird was a long time ago, and it was also very late. I've been wanting to take another look ever since, but it's rare......"

"It wasn't until about a year ago that the bird reappeared, and it appeared so many times that I often looked up at night when I couldn't sleep hungry and could not sleep, and I would be more comfortable when I looked up......"

"That bird was the prettiest I've ever seen! And it seems to be able to understand human speech, and when I look up at it on the ground, it hovers twice above my head as if comforting me......"
