Volume 4 Huameng Burst Chapter 4 Spirit Beast (2)
The chief catcher saw that both of them were carrying swords, although they were dressed nobly, but their faces were quite dusty, and they must have really been a bit of a "door" way, so they finally nodded and agreed.
The first thing Xuanji did when she got the deposit was to pay for the wine, and the bartender let go of Yu Sifeng angrily, and said sharply: "Count you as acquaintances!" The next time you dare to eat the overlord meal, Lao Tzu will interrupt the loneliness of the two of you little ghosts! With that, he scolded and walked away.
Xuanji frowned and looked at his back, and said in a low voice: "This person is so annoying, he still has to be so arrogant after paying." ”
Yu Sifeng straightened out the neckline that was caught by him, smiled lightly, and said, "Look at me, fix him." ”
He took out an iron marble from his arms, pinched it between his fingers, and was about to pop it out, but Xuanji hurriedly grabbed it: "Don't, he's just an ordinary person, how can you eat and play it!" Yu Sifeng's marble can smash the glass vat, she knows very well, if it is smashed on that person, she is afraid that she will break her muscles and bones.
He shook his head, flicked his fingers, and with a "pawn" sound, the marble fell to the ground, and then bounced back, hitting the man's knee. He screamed, fell to the ground, and it took him half a day to get up, look left and right, and not know how he fell, and finally he could only go back to the tavern with a curse.
"Falling on him, this is a return gift for him offending you and me." Yu Sifeng smiled slightly, with a hint of naughty taste hidden in his eyes, very childish.
Although Xuanji took down the notice and got the deposit, the chief catcher was still very worried about the two of them, and when he heard that they were going to Pingliang immediately, he immediately gathered people and horses, and selected four loyal subordinates to follow them, obviously taking care of them. It's surveillance.
"This goes to Pingliang, there are official roads all the way, and the horses are galloping. It can be there in one day. The strange fire is up to the two little heroes. The one-month period expires. This matter has not been resolved, so the deposit can only be returned to the ya'men in trouble. ”
The head catcher said very politely, in fact, the time given above was within half a year, but he always felt that these two young people were liars, and the first impression was not good. So only give them a one-month period, and if it doesn't work, then obediently pay back the deposit and leave.
Yu Sifeng hugged his fists and said: "Don't mention the miscellaneous matters for the time being, please also explain the strange fire in detail, so that we can understand the situation." ”
The chief catcher didn't expect him to ask such a question, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he explained the situation in detail.
It turned out that the strange fire did not appear in Pingliang for the first time, according to the locals, a few days ago at night. There was already an out-of-phase appearance, and the fire on the top of Longshou Mountain in the east was full of fire, all the way to the sky. It looks like a fire has fallen. The next day, someone found that the entire Longshou Mountain had been burned in half, and the huge black burn marks spread down from the top of the mountain. It looked like the flame would move on its own. All the way to the west, passing Longshou Mountain. (16K, computer station. Updates are the fastest). High mountain, along the Jing River came to Pingliang. The reason why the people of Lutai Town are so afraid is because they are too close, and they don't know when the strange fire will burn to their own 'door'. Yu Sifeng heard that he was 'groaning' for a long time. Xuanji tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Sounds like a big monster, the kind that breathes fire." ”
Yu Sifeng frowned and stared, unable to think of a huge demon, which one was with fire. Besides, when he said this, the place that had been burned by fire was so terrible, and it was not an ordinary flame. Could it be that some divine beast in the sky can't borrow the aisle of the world?
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the chief catcher only said when they were cringe, and said: "This matter is indeed strange, if the two of you are inconvenient, ...... it."
Yu Sifeng smiled and waved his hand, "Adults are too worried." Now that the notice has been lifted, we will not leave Lutai Town until we resolve the matter. He looked back at the four catchers sent out by the chief catcher to help, and said, "It's best to bring two bags of water with the four of you, and please pick the fastest horse with you." Nothing else needs to be prepared. ”
The four said yes and asked, "Do you want to go now?" Lead two more horses to the two little heroes? ”
Xuanji and Yu Sifeng looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer, walked to the entrance of the ya' gate, and then turned around and said, "No, let's go to Pingliang first and wait for the four." "After that, the sword flew up at the entrance of the big 'gate', and disappeared in the blink of an eye, so shocked that everyone rushed to the 'gate' to look, and then they realized that the two of them were really immortal cultivators.
In fact, it was not allowed to fly in public, for fear of causing a sensation, but the two of them were annoyed that the other party underestimated themselves, and they all thought of 'showing' their hands to each other. ”
Yu Sifeng also felt that it was fun, they were all young people who were used to 'sex', and this play was just a small test.
Lutai Town and Pingliang are not far away, and the two of them have arrived almost in the blink of an eye. Xuanji saw that there are many farmlands here, as far as the eye can see, there are paddy fields and muddy fields, so the head catcher said that Pingliang is a granary, and it is not false to specialize in producing grain.
At this time, it was the afternoon, the hottest time of the sun, and the two walked on the ridge for a while, without any shelter, only hot and sweaty. Yu Sifeng took a breath and sighed: "It's strange, Pingliang has never been so hot in summer here, it's just breathless." ”
Xuanji's face was even hotter, she looked around, sniffed with her nose again, and then said: "I don't seem to smell demonic energy, but this kind of heat is not the same as summer geothermal energy, and the earth fire burns the heart, which should have something to do with the strange fire." ”
When she saw someone on the ridge opposite, she immediately ran over and asked, "May I ask where there is a strange fire around here?" ”
The man was caught off guard and someone from behind him suddenly rushed up, so frightened that he staggered, and the hat on his head also rolled down, 'exposing' his silver beard, which turned out to be an old man. Yu Sifeng hurriedly hugged him and said softly: "I'm sorry old man, I scared you." ”
As soon as the man raised his head, the two of them were stunned, it turned out that his beard was white, like silver frost, but his face was young and immature like a young man, and his eyebrows were slanted and flying, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were clear, and he was actually a beautiful man with a cold face.
He lightly pushed away Yu Sifeng's support, picked up the hat on the ground, looked back at it, and said in a low voice: "I don't know much about this matter, I'm just a passerby." ”
Say just turn your face and leave. Xuanji was stunned: "How can he ...... I thought it was an old man. ”
Yu Sifeng Shen 'groaned' and said, "I have heard that there is a disease. Young people also grow gray hair, and gradually the skin on their faces becomes whiter...... It's rare and scary. Maybe this person is a ...... We've been rude. ”
After speaking, something suddenly came to mind. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "No! He's not! ”
Xuanjiqi said: "What is not? ”
Yu Sifeng couldn't answer. turned his head to look for the figure of the man, but saw that the ridge was empty, and there was still half a figure! The man just now obviously didn't go far, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Xuanji also noticed that something was wrong. Hurriedly said: "Why is he gone?!" There's no place to hide! ”
Yu Sifeng said: "Look at it, the weather is so hot, we are all sweating, but just now I looked at that person, his face was clean and clean, and there was nothing." What's more, although he said that he was a passerby, you can see that he has baggage? It's a little weird to think about! ”
What's more, it disappears into flat ground in the blink of an eye. This person must not be simple.
"Si Feng, do you think he will have something to do with the strange fire?" Xuanji walked around, making sure there was no place to hide. I had to come back and ask him. Yu Sifeng shook his head: "I don't know...... Forget it, let's move on. Find someone and ask again. ”
The four catchers in Lutai Town didn't eat or drink, and they were quick to whip up. Finally arrived in Pingliang in the evening, and at this time Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had already found the farm. I asked about the strange fire in detail.
The local old man said that he burned the fields of Lijia Village last night, and according to this trend, he should leave Pingliang Town tonight and go to the woods near Huangniao Pozi outside the town. Therefore, tonight, the girl and I will stay at the Yellow Bird Slope, and trouble the four of us to watch the movement of the four outside the woods, and if there is any abnormal movement, we will immediately release early warning bombs to inform us. ”
After speaking, Yu Sifeng gave each of the four people a slender firecracker-like thing and taught them how to use it.
When he heard that only the two of them were going to deal with the strange fire, he couldn't help but worry: "Don't you need our help from the girl and the child?" It's just the two of you...... This one...... Too dangerous. ”
Yu Sifeng shook his head and said: "This matter is not something you can deal with, if you insist on going up, you can only die." Peace of mind, we have our own countermeasures. Brothers, please hang the water bag on your body at all times and do not throw it away. ”
Everyone had already seen their swordsmanship in Lutai Town, so where would they doubt it, and they nodded busily at the moment. While talking, the owner of the farmhouse who stayed in the house sent wine and food, Pingliang is a large grain-producing town, and the dishes are not unusual. Everyone ate for a while, drank the two jars of wine, and looked up to see the moon in the middle of the sky, but they did not feel as cold as water at night, but became more and more hot, and the clothes behind them were wet.
An old man from the master's house sighed: "It's almost time, it's so hot, and after a while, it will be so hot that no one dares to go over to see what is going on, but they are afraid of being burned." ”
A gust of wind blew in the window, which was also hot, not only did not eliminate the heat, but became even more suffocating. Xuanji was about to roll up her sleeves and fan the wind, when she suddenly heard a clear roar from a distant place, like some huge animal roaring, but it was not unpleasant, clear and pleasant.
The old man pointed out the window in shock and said hurriedly: "It's here!" Firelight! ”
Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see that in the distance, thousands of bright red flames rose into the sky, piercing the night sky. The fire was shining brightly, and it really looked like a fire had fallen. Yu Sifeng slapped the table, and the six people flew out of the window and ran towards the yellow bird slope that emitted firelight.
Xuanji was the most anxious, couldn't wait to run, when the sword flew up, Yu Sifeng hurriedly 'handed over' the four catchers to say a few words, and the sword followed. As soon as I arrived at the heights, I saw everything in my eyes, and the woods in the Yellow Bird Slope had really burned, raging flames, several 'desires' to burn the sky, and the 'color' of the flames was more bright red and bright than the ordinary fire, no wonder half of the sky was brightened.
Seeing that in the dazzling firelight, there seemed to be some huge thing of the same color slowly moving, almost the size of half a forest, Xuanji couldn't help but 'gasp' and said lightly: "What is that?" ”
Before the words fell, he heard the thing let out another clear cry, followed by it, and flew up lightly from the ground, two pairs of huge earth fire wings, and countless fire points splashed down. Yu Sifeng saw that the thing had wings and was shaped like a bird, but he dragged a huge thick snake tail, and his brain was like lightning, and blurted out: "It's a snake!" Divine beast Teng Snake! ”
Xuanji didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already chased after the sword, and he 'pumped' out the 'jade', and with a "hum" sound, it made a pleasant sound, and the sword qi was full, pinching a sword trick for her, and swinging it out. In an instant, countless silver-colored sword qi hurriedly 'shot' towards the huge and beautiful fire beast, it obviously didn't expect someone to attack from behind, it was hit by the sword qi, hissed, turned around in the air, suddenly landed, and disappeared.
"Catch up!" Yu Sifeng screamed.
