Ma Xiaohai opened the gate, and twenty or thirty villagers rushed in, surrounding Shi Jian and Mao Xiaofang, and squeezing Yu Dachu and Lei Xiu aside.

"Master Mao, Shi Daochang, there is a strange bird at the entrance of the village."

Shi Jian knew that the spirit bird was here, but it came too early, and the follow-up plots seemed to be in advance.

Mao Xiaofang asked, "What kind of strange bird?" ”

"A white parrot."

"Since this bird came, my cows have been in heat, sows are not worthy, dogs do not watch the door, chickens do not lay eggs, and they all run to the entrance of the village and cry at the strange birds."

"It's annoying to death when it's late all day."

"Master Mao, Shi Dao Chief, please help drive away the strange birds."

Mao Xiaofang and Shi Jian glanced at each other and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Shi Daoyou and I will go to the entrance of the village to have a look and find a way to get rid of the strange birds." ”

"Great, with Master Mao and Shi Dao Chang making a move, Gantian Town will soon be able to restore peace."

"yes."

Mao Xiaofang instructed Ma Xiaohai, Yu Dachu, and Lei Xiu to take the guys, and the group went straight to the entrance of the village.

I saw that the people at the entrance of the village were surrounded like a wall, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, a large number of domestic animals and poultry gathered, barking at a tree on the side of the road. There is a white parrot perched on the tree, motionless, like a sculpture, with indifferent eyes and a proud posture, quite a divine horse.

"Spirit Bird!" Shi Jian said.

Mao Xiaofang tilted his head and asked, "Do you know the origin of this bird?" ”

Shi Jian opened his mouth to speak, and several villagers who could no longer stand the noise of livestock and poultry carried brooms and long sticks, and rushed towards the spirit bird with a fierce momentum.

The spirit bird was frightened, lost its previous composure, spread its wings and fluttered, and immediately the wind was fierce. The wind was so strong that wherever it passed, the air twisted, the sand flew away, and the grass and trees broke. The villagers belched and screamed, their eyes blinded by the sand, and their bodies were blown to the ground by the strong wind, and one by one they rolled away in reverse.

"Xiaohai, Ah Chu, Ah Xiu, save people."

"Yes, Master."

The four masters and apprentices stepped forward, the wind was blowing, as if touching a strong wall, and the march was difficult, and the villagers on the ground retreated in panic.

"Evil animal, Hugh is arrogant!"

Shi Jian raised his hand, and a colorful glow flew out, resembling colored yarn, eating the sun, glowing, and wonderful. Feeling threatened, the spirit bird fanned wildly with its wings and claws off the branches, wanting to blow away the cold divine light with a strong wind.

The cold spirit light is so wonderful, unmoved, scattered on the ground, turned into a hundred and ten colored silks, wrapped around the claws of the spirit bird, bound the wings of the spirit bird, Shi Jian pulled the color silk, the spirit bird was thrown into his arms like a milk swallow returning to the nest, and he struggled endlessly.

The spirit bird was captured, the livestock and poultry under the tree immediately made a mess, and the villagers who watched the excitement also panicked, catching chickens and catching pigs, and the scene was chaotic.

There was nothing wrong with Shi Jian and Mao Xiaofang, and the five of them returned to Fuxi Hall.

Shi Jian casually threw the spirit bird on the table, the spirit bird's claws and wings were bound by colored silk, unable to stand firmly, unable to fly, and fell down, half a sound did not get up, only stared at Shi Jian with those bird eyes.

"Uncle Jian, the birds are staring at you."

"This bird is very spiritual." Mao Xiaofang said in surprise.

Ma Xiaohai asked: "Uncle Jian, you just called it a spirit bird, what is its origin, how can it have such a high mana?" ”

Shi Jian looked at the spirit bird, and said with a strange look: "It is the spirit bird of the Spirit Sect, and it has lived with the previous Spirit Sect Leader for a long time. Influenced by its spiritual power Dao method, it has become a climate. ”

Mao Xiaofang said strangely: "How can the Spirit Sect's spirit bird be in Gantian Town?" ”

"Xiao Fang, have you forgotten, the Spirit Sect Leader has been dead for ten years, and a new Sect Leader has not yet been elected."

"What do you mean......"

Yu Dachu said impatiently: "Master, Uncle Jian, what kind of dumb riddles are you playing, what kind of Spirit Sect Master, what has been dead for ten years, we can't understand it at all." ”

Mao Xiaofang reprimanded: "If you don't understand, read more books." ”

Shi Jian said with a straight face: "I originally planned to leave today, but the spirit bird is here, and presumably the people of the Spirit Sect are also on the way here." There were many suspicions about the death of the leader of the Spirit Sect back then, and the suspicions on Ba Si Pa have not been cleared up so far, if he is really the murderer of the leader of the Spirit Sect, he will send someone to Gantian Town at this time, I am afraid that Gantian Town will be bleeding like a river. ”

Mao Xiaofang nodded silently, his heart was heavy, Lei Gang's matter had just passed, and the Spirit Sect Spirit Bird was here again, Gantian Town was really full of disasters and difficulties.

Where did he know that Gantian Town in the original time and space was much worse than now, Cixi made trouble, Cixi made trouble with Lei Gang, Lei Gang made trouble with the moth demon, Moth Demon made trouble with evil ghosts, evil ghosts made trouble with blood demons, endlessly.

"Shi Daoyou, what are you going to do with the spirit birds?"

"You can't let it go, let it go and then attract livestock and poultry, it's the villagers who suffer, let's raise it first."

Ma Xiaohai asked with interest: "Uncle Jian, do you say that the food eaten by spirit birds is the same as that of ordinary parrots?" ”

"This ......" Shi Jian said uncertainly, "You feed everything, try it." ”

Ma Xiaohai said with a smile: "I have already raised Ah Xiu's Xiaobai, and I will raise another white ...... Hey, what a coincidence, they're all white. ”

"yes, that's a coincidence."

Lei Xiu proposed: "Why don't you call the spirit bird Xiaobai?" ”

You're a waste!

Shi Jian complained secretly, and the spirit bird that fell on the table also rolled his eyes, looking disgusted.

Mao Xiaofang coughed lightly: "A spirit bird is a spirit bird, so there is no need for other names." Fuxitang is fine, you go to the newspaper office to see if A-Ning needs help, and if so, stay and help her. ”

Yu Dachu said happily: "Master, Uncle Jian, I'm leaving." ”

"Wait for me, I'll go too." Lei Xiu hurriedly stood up.

"Senior brother?"

"Go ahead, I'll study the parrot's recipe."

"It's boring!"

Unable to leave for the time being, Shi Jian didn't waste time, said to Mao Xiaofang and Ma Xiaohai, sneaked into Cixi's tomb, and began to practice the Earth Method.

The five elements of Maoshan method, the two elements of fire and wood have been small, to the extent of condensing the law. According to the way of the five elements, wood gives birth to fire, and fire gives birth to earth, and it will be easier to practice the earth practice method next.

Moreover, the earth corpse has the effect of assisting in the cultivation of the Earth Movement Method, coupled with the Great Five Elements Rotation Formation Technique that has been refined into the Spirit House, with a three-pronged approach, the cultivation speed of the Earth Movement Method may be faster than that of the Thunder Method.

Approaching the meal, Shi Jian returned to Fuxi Hall from Cixi's tomb, and saw Ma Xiaohai with a sad face in the kitchen, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaohai, what's wrong?" What about your master? ”

"Master helped people look at feng shui." Ma Xiaohai said embarrassedly: "Uncle Jian, I can't raise a spirit bird." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't eat anything."

"Don't eat any of them?"

Ma Xiaohai counted his fingers and said: "I have fed rice, millet, rice husks, fruits, vegetables, and all the food I can find, but the spirit bird just doesn't eat it, and I don't drink water." ”

Shi Jian glanced at the spirit bird that was pretending to be dead, and said with a smile: "It's quite virtuous, you cook, I'll feed the spirit bird." ”

Lifting the claws of the spirit bird, he walked into the hall. After sitting down, Shi Jian grabbed a handful of rice and put it next to the spirit bird's beak, and the dead bird didn't even open its eyes, let alone eat.

Replaced by chopped seasonal fruits, the spirit bird was still indifferent. After trying all the food, Shi Jian finally understood Ma Xiaohai's depressed mood.

"Feed you one last time, if you don't eat again, I won't care about you, starve to death, starve to death, anyway, you will die, die early and be reborn early."

Taking out some of the remnants of the Divine Tree of Life from the spirit house, the spirit bird seemed to sense something, moved its body, opened its eyes, and stared at the wood residue in Shi Jian's hand with burning eyes, with a little eagerness and eagerness.

Shi Jianle was happy, "Your spiritual sense is keen, and you know that this is a good thing. ”

Put it next to the beak of the spirit bird, this time it doesn't need to be fed by Shi Jian, it pecks with its beak, and it makes a loud sound, like a cheerful music.

Shi Jian stretched out his hand and gently stroked its feathers, and said softly: "Follow me in the future, there will be wood to eat every day." ”

"I know that you can understand people's words, your former master is dead, and the people of the Spirit Sect sent you out to find the spirit child, in fact, they are using you, once you find the spirit child, not only will the spirit child be in trouble, but you will also die. Because someone doesn't want the spirit child to recover the memories of his past life, understand? ”

The spirit bird had finished eating the wood slag, and its eyes were fixed on Shi Jian, as if listening intently. Seeing that Shi Jian stopped, he hurriedly pecked the table with his beak.

"You foodie!" Shi Jian scolded with a smile and grabbed a handful of rice and gave it to it, "You are still young, it is not easy to digest just eating wood, you have to eat some grains, otherwise you will be malnourished." ”

Do you talk to spirit birds about malnutrition?

The spirit bird looked at Shi Jian for a while, and ate a few grains of rice with interest, even if it was only a few, it was enough to make Ma Xiaohai stunned.

"Uncle Jian, how did you do it?" Ma Xiaohai stood at the door and asked.

Shi Jian replied: "It's very simple, just feed it wood." ”

"Eat...... Eating wood? Ma Xiaohai was stupid, "Do parrots eat wood?" Or does the spirit bird like to eat wood? ”

The spirit bird squinted at him, thinking to himself about this second fool.

Sunset over the West Mountains.

Mao Xiaofang, Yu Dachu, and Lei Xiu came back one after another, Ma Xiaohai served the food, and the five of them sat around the table for dinner.

After dinner, it was already dark, Shi Jian suddenly said to Ma Xiaohai, Yu Dachu, and Lei Xiu, who were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Xiaohai, Ah Chu, Ah Xiu, boil the pot of water, wash a few cups, and entertain the guests in a while." There are more guests coming. ”

Ma Xiaohai and the three of them felt inexplicable and nodded in response.

Mao Xiaofang asked, "Are they coming?" ”

"Here we are."

Shi Jian stroked the spirit bird, the colored silk on its body disappeared immediately, the spirit bird flapped its wings and flew up, and there was no strong wind, only to hear Shi Jian say: "Go and wait on the tree where you landed before, and bring them to Fuxi Hall." ”

The spirit bird fluttered out of the Fuxi Hall.

The lower string hung diagonally, the night was dark, and on a mountain road leading to Gantian Town, several Spirit Sect disciples hurriedly walked the night road.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Atisha, the leader, stopped and looked up at the spirit bird in the tree, a smile on his face.

"It's a spirit bird!" Shamon said happily.

Atisha nodded slightly, and suddenly saw the spirit bird fly away, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Keep up with the spirit bird." ”

"Yes."

Everyone followed the spirit bird to Fuxi Hall, the door of Fuxi Hall has been opened, Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu are waiting at the door, and they see Atisha from afar.

"Buddha Amitayus!"

"My master and Uncle Jian are already waiting in the hall, all masters, please come in."

Atisha and Shamun looked at each other, both a little confused.

"Thank you!"

Stepping into the gate, Atisha and the others saw the spirit birds falling on the dead branches in the courtyard at a glance, and then turned their eyes to the hall.

"It's him!" Atisha's heart was shaken.

Shi Jian said with a smile: "Atixia Daoyou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't you know Shi and Mao Xiaofang Mao Daoyou?" ”

The corners of Atisha's mouth twitched, and he walked into the hall with a hard head, and saluted: "Amitayus Buddha, how are the two Taoist friends?" ”

"We were so good. Several Taoist friends came from afar, and they worked hard all the way, Xiaohai, Ah Chu, pour tea for everyone. ”

"No need......

"Don't like Mao Daoyou's tea?"

"Of course not."

"Sit." Shi Jian pointed to the stool opposite and said.

Sha Meng and the others had never seen Shi Jian and Mao Xiaofang, and they were very unhappy with Shi Jian's domineering words and deeds, so that they made themselves look like the host of Ba Sipa, and dared to give orders to Atisha.

Just as Shamun was about to speak, he was surprised to see Atisha sit down obediently, his face showing a bit of helplessness and awe.

Who is he?

Glancing at Atisha, Shi Jian casually asked, "Are the Spirit Sect Leader and the Eight Sipa Protectors okay?" ”

Atisha felt as if the stool was full of needles, and he couldn't sit still, and said with a dry smile: "Daoist friends and nobles have forgotten things, my sect leader passed away ten years ago. The Grand Presiding Officer of the Phags-pa is no longer a Dharma protector, but the Regent of the Spiritual Sect. ”

Shi Jian patted his head and said to Mao Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, this person can't accept old age, I'm only fifty years old, and my memory is getting worse and worse, what about you?" ”

Mao Xiaofang replied seriously: "I'm pretty much the same." ”

Ma Xiaohai, Yu Dachu, and Lei Xiu turned their heads, their shoulders swaying slightly.

"It's been ten years, has the murderer of the Sect Master of the Spirit Sect been found? Phags-pa served as the regent, so his suspicion was cleared? ”

"Don't talk gibberish......"

"Shut up." Atisha scolded Shamon and saluted: "Amitayus Buddha, rumors are rumors after all, and they should not be true. ”

"I hope so." Shi Jian smiled and said meaningfully: "The Spiritual Sect is a great sect in the spiritual world, and it has always been the most rule-abiding, Gantian Town is the territory of Mao Daoyou, and Lingnan is the territory of the Maoshan faction. ”

"Amitayus Buddha, thank you for the suggestion."

"Drink tea."

A quarter of an hour later, Atisha and the others walked out of Fuxi Hall, and Shamon couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person?" ”

"People from the Maoshan faction."

"I know he's from the Maoshan faction, and he's said it several times."

Atisha sneered: "There are not many people in the Maoshan faction who are so arrogant, he calls himself Shi, can't you guess it?" ”

Sha Meng took a breath and whispered, "Shi Jian? ”

"That's him."

"How could he be in Gantian Town? And how could a spirit bird bring us to meet him? ”

Atisha said irritably: "How do I know, this person is very evil and ruthless, and he called us over tonight, just to give us a dismount." ”

"With him, the regent has explained the ......"

"Be careful." Atisha glared at Shamon and said in a low voice, "Inform the Lord Regent and ask him to decide." ”

"What about us?"

"What to do, what to do."
