Xie Danzhu was lying on the slanted trunk of the dragon claw locust, his calves hanging down and swaying, very pleasant, he used to like to climb to sleep on the dragon claw locust in his back garden in the small town of Shitian, and felt that it was more comfortable than the wooden bed at home.

After coming to Zixia Mountain last summer, Xie Danzhu found that the dragon claw locust in the spirit weapon workshop and his family were like twins, and when winter came, the dragon claw locust in the spirit weapon workshop also did not lose leaves like his evergreen dragon claw locust, and the senior brothers in the same workshop also felt a little strange, saying that in previous years, the leaves of this dragon claw locust would fall bare in winter, why is it as evergreen as a pine and cypress this year?

However, the senior brothers have seen a lot of all kinds of magical things, what is it that a tree does not shed leaves, it is not a serious thing, only Xie Danzhu is full of curiosity, and he wants to go home to verify and verify, is it the dragon claw locust in his back garden that followed him here?

"Woo-woo-woo-"

Xie Danzhu suddenly heard an eager "woo" from under the tree, and immediately raised his head to look down, a snow-white little fox circled around the roots of the dragon claw locust tree, looking up at the pointed little head, and the eyeballs seemed to be inlaid with two purple gems.

This is the purple-eyed snow fox, Xie Danzhu followed his fellow senior brother to visit the Spirit Beast Academy, and I heard that the fur of this little beast is very popular with the rich in the world, and the jewel-like purple eyes of the snow fox are also the material for refining some kind of elixir-

The little fox who was in a hurry under the tree wanted to climb up the dragon claw locust, but suddenly planted a heel backwards, and seemed to be unable to get close to the dragon claw locust, the little fox got up, the two hind legs were upright, and the front paws were intertwined, as if to make a move, and the mouth also made a "woo" wail-

"The little fox will make a move, this is fresh!"

Xie Danzhu jumped down from the tree lightly, squatted down to look at the little fox, and asked, "You escaped?"

The little fox seems to understand human speech, and his little head is little by little.

Xie Danzhu had already heard someone shouting outside the courtyard to catch the purple-eyed snow fox at this time, it turned out that this little fox had really escaped, and the beasts were also afraid of death, staying in the spirit beast courtyard sooner or later to be skinned and gouged out of their eyes, it was really miserable.

This little fox is very cute, and it is not easy to escape from the Spirit Beast Courtyard, Xie Danzhu decided to save it, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Come, I'll take you and hide in my room-"

The little fox's little head shook continuously, and he raised his head and screamed at the dragon claw locust.

Xie Danzhu asked, "Do you want to hide in a tree?"

Xiaohu nodded hurriedly, and then "poofed" into Xie Danzhu's arms.

Xie Danzhu immediately used his hands and feet together, climbed up the dragon claw locust, and before he could sit down, he heard a chirp, and a big black bird flew up above the spirit weapon workshop, and after a little circle, he swooped towards the dragon claw locust.

Xie Danzhu screamed "Oops", this is the Iron Clawed Falcon, it must have come to capture the little fox, what can I do, there is nowhere to hide!

The five disciples of the Spirit Beast Academy, accompanied by Xu Zhi, came to the front yard of the Spirit Artifact Workshop, and saw the iron-clawed falcon hovering over a dragon-clawed locust, and the disciple surnamed Xue said: "That cunning beast has hid in the tree, there is an iron-clawed falcon, where else can it hide!"

Several people strode under the tree, and Xu Zhi saw Xie Danzhu sitting on the trunk of the dragon claw locust tree, so he asked, "Danzhu, did you see a purple-eyed snow fox?"

Xie Danzhu said: "No, I didn't see it." ”

The disciple surnamed Xue looked at the hovering Ironclaw Falcon and beckoned, "Your name is Danzhu, you come down first, so that the Ironclaw Falcon can pull out the fleeing snow fox." ”

Xie Danzhu rubbed it down, and then looked at the iron-clawed falcon, it was still only hovering one zhang above the canopy, and the five disciples of the Spirit Beast Academy looked at it for a long time under the tree and didn't find that there was a snow fox on the tree.

The disciple who had tamed the Ironclaw pursed his lips and ordered the Ironclaw to pounce, but the Ironclaw only circled around the top of the tree, seemingly unable to find a target to pounce.

The disciple surnamed Xue frowned and said, "Impossible, where can I hide!"

Xie Danzhu said on the side: "This senior brother, I have been on the tree just now, and I didn't see any purple-eyed snow foxes - will I run away somewhere else?"

The disciple surnamed Xue said, "Since the Ironclaw Falcon is hovering here, it means that the evil beast is here—"

Before he could finish speaking, the iron-clawed falcon suddenly burst into the air in fright, and then sped away in a southward direction.

"I really ran away, chase after it, follow the Ironclawed Falcon-"

The disciple surnamed Xue hugged his fist at Xu Zhiyi, and led the other four out of the Spirit Weapon Workshop and hurriedly chased south.

After Xie Danzhu and other senior brothers Xu Zhi also left, they climbed up the dragon claw locust again, and took out the snow-white little fox from the recess of a tree branch, the little fox's body was motionless, only the jewel-like purple eyes were dripping, looking at Xie Danzhu.

Xie Danzhu was very happy to be able to save the little fox, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, those people who came to arrest you have run away." "The hand stroked the back of the little fox, and the fox's fur was fluffy and smooth, like silk satin.

One person and one fox stayed in the tree for a long time, and when it got dark, Xie Danzhu said: "Little fox, hurry up and run away while it's dark, run outside Zixia Mountain, be clever in the future, don't let people catch you-"

This little fox was really refreshing, and he slipped out of Xie Danzhu's hand and jumped off the ground.

When Xie Danzhu leaned over to look, he saw a small white shadow quickly disappear into the darkness.

......

In the evening of the next day, Xie Danzhu heard from his senior brother Xu Zhi that the Spirit Beast Academy had not captured the purple-eyed snow fox that had escaped, Xie Danzhu nodded secretly, it seemed that the little fox had escaped from the mountain.

Every time he comes back from workout, Xie Danzhu always goes to rest on the dragon claw locust, smelling the faint green fragrance of the dragon claw locust, and the tiredness and fatigue will be swept away, and today is no exception.

As soon as he climbed the trunk of the slanted tree, suddenly a white shadow flashed, and a little beast with snow-white fur appeared in front of Xie Danzhu's eyes, with round purple eyes crystal clear, standing firmly on the branch on all fours, it was yesterday's little fox.

"Ah, Xiaohu, why didn't you run away, and you're still here?" Xie Danzhu was surprised and delighted.

Xiaohu couldn't answer, just tilted his little head and looked at Xie Danzhu very seriously.

Xie Danzhu stroked the little fox's head and said, "You have to be careful, it will be miserable if someone else finds out - by the way, do you want to eat?"

The little fox shook his head.

......

In this way, the little fox took this dragon claw locust as its nest, leaving early and returning late, Xie Danzhu was also used to it, with such a little beast by his side, the heavy and dull spiritual weapon workshop career was also more vibrant.

Early in the morning, Xie Danzhu was running on the mountain road by the side of the courtyard, and saw a fat figure coming up from the bottom of the mountain from a distance.

The fat dun replied: "Danzhu-Danzhu-", and quickened his pace.

Tang Xing and Xie Danzhu are fellow villagers, or playmates who grew up together, both of them came to Zixia Mountain last year to become outer disciples, Tang Xing was assigned to Linggu Garden to plant Linggu, Tang Xing was very depressed, he followed his parents to farm at home, but he didn't expect to enter Zixia Mountain or farming!

A total of three people in the town of Shitian were selected as disciples of Zixia Mountain last year, in addition to Xie Danzhu and Tang Xing, there is also a Fei Tianyue, the son of the town mayor Fei Man, Fei Tianyue was very lucky to become an inner disciple, in the past, Fei Tianyue looked down on people with wealth and power, and after becoming an inner disciple, he was even more angry, in front of Xie Danzhu and Tang Xing, he proudly said that his father was a hero, which meant that his father was the mayor of the town, and he managed one side, and now he has become an inner disciple, and he still gets ahead-

Linggu Garden is far away from the main peak of Zixia Mountain, there are more than ten miles away, after becoming a disciple of the outer sect of Zixia Mountain, Xie Danzhu and Tang Xing, the two young partners, rarely met each other for the last time, Tang Xing came to discuss with Xie Danzhu about returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and they have been away from their hometown Shitian for a year.

The two young partners agreed to apply to their respective senior brothers to return to their hometowns, and if there were no accidents, then they would leave for Ishida in three days, and make an appointment to meet at the foot of the main peak of Zixia Mountain.

The next morning, Xie Danzhu asked his senior brother Xu Zhiyu to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives, Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Well, Danzhu has been in the mountain for a year, and there are ten days of family leave according to the regulations, and tomorrow I will go to the elder of the inner gate to receive two hundred low-grade bronze spars for you-" paused, and then said: "Danzhu has done a good job in the workshop this year, and it is very rare to be able to make spiritual weapons on his own, so let's see if I can apply for a reward of twenty low-grade bronze spars for you." ”

Xie Danzhu said happily: "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Before noon on the third day, Xu Zhi really applied for a reward of twenty low-grade bronze spars for Xie Danzhu, and handed them to Xie Danzhu together with the two hundred low-grade bronze spars in his portion.

Xie Danzhu is very happy, it is the first time he has earned so many bronze spars when he grows so big, and he can't wait to return to Shitian immediately, and hand over these two hundred and twenty low-grade bronze spars to his father, please don't run around with the merchant in the future, and his son can earn money to support his father-

Xie Danzhu knew that he was a picked child, and he was found by the Fengxi River when his father got up early to pick up the merchant to sell, according to his father, his little face and body were very scary at that time, and it took three days to slowly subside after taking him home, so he named him Xie Danzhu.

A few months old Xie Danzhu appeared by the river, there is nothing to show the identity of Xie Danzhu's biological parents, and I don't know why Danzhu was abandoned, there is only one strange thing, that is, since Danzhu was adopted by Xie's father, there is an extra dragon claw locust in the back garden of the Xie family out of thin air, and the dragon claw locust does not grow slowly, but as soon as it appears, it is five or six zhang high, with lush branches and leaves, and the crown of the tree is like a green umbrella.
