Time passed rapidly in the process of Yang Xiao's recuperation, and in a blink of an eye, the coldest season passed quietly, and the snow on the ground gradually melted. Some small animals also emerge from the snow to start a new round of foraging.

As a result of eating the Falcon family, Yang Xiao was able to survive the coldest winter. In the years that followed, the hunt became less difficult.

And during the period of recuperation, he also has a general understanding of this Taoist temple near his territory, this Taoist temple is not big, there are only about a dozen people, half of them are children and miscellaneous servants, there are three or four disciples, and there is a rather old Taoist, the old Taoist rarely shows up, but one day it is about the beginning of the Spring Festival, the old Taoist ti slipped out of the deep courtyard slowly, and took a few disciples to burn a few pillars of incense in the temple, sacrificed to the sky, and beat gongs and drums until midnight.

After coming to the Taoist temple, Yang Xiao naturally wanted to steal something, and he hoped that if the old Taoist opened the altar one day, he would use the Rong Dao trick to eavesdrop and eavesdrop nearby.

Although he has this idea in his heart, the reality is not allowed, he is a owl, a nocturnal creature, during the day he is not only not energetic, but even blind, whether the old Tao preaches the scriptures during the day, whether he teaches the cultivation method, Yang Xiao does not know at all.

He only knew that the female tree spirit was going to drill into the old Taoist room every once in a while.

After the heart-eating banshee returned to the Taoist temple, she seemed to be a different person, looking both honest and well-behaved, and every day she only knew how to run behind her brother and master's ass with low eyebrows, as if even the boy in the pulp clothes could bully her.

It's just that this makes Yang Xiao a little impatient, he doesn't mind waiting, but he doesn't want to kill time aimlessly, this old way doesn't preach at night, just messing with that monster, how can he get the means to transform into shapes?

Yang Xiao had the intention to search for the temple, but he was cautious by nature, and he didn't know the bottom of the temple, so he didn't dare to do it easily, but he kept observing outside.

That night, Yang Xiao caught a mouse from the field, sat in the nest on the trunk of the tree, and as usual, watched the Taoist temple in the distance while eating.

At this time, the door of the Taoist temple was quietly pushed open by a handsome young man.

......

"Senior brother, do you have to go?"

Someone hid in the door and asked timidly.

"Senior sister, my Yin Fu Gong has now been cultivated to the seventh layer, and even the master said that I can be alone in the future, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, and you wait for my good news." The boy said calmly.

The door was quietly pushed open, and a woman timidly turned out with her skirt in her hand. Yang Xiao fixed his eyes and looked at it, hey, who else could it be, it was the banshee who ate her heart and liver last time, I saw that she had changed into green clothes again, with two balls on her head, and she looked a little simple.

Yang Xiao ate rat meat, calculated the time, and couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

From the death of the first leopard, to the death of the snow ape, and then to the death of the embryonic man, it came almost every other month, and now another month has passed since the death of the man, and this old tree spirit is afraid that he is not ready to eat people again, and he is acting here.

"Senior brother, Senior Brother Wen said the same thing last time. His Yin Fu skills are no worse than yours, but... But—" said that, the woman's eyes moistened.

Hearing that name, the young man's face darkened, but then, a faint pride appeared on his face, he pulled the long sword in his hand into a sword flower, and said: "Senior sister, don't worry, first, my skills are deeper than my senior brother, and second, I have a family heirloom swordsmanship to protect myself, and the idle spirit can't hurt me." ”

"Brother, when you say that, Senior Sister is pleased, but... There was such a big thing last time, senior sister... Senior sister can't rest assured that you can't stop you. ”

The young man's body trembled slightly, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand.

"Senior sister..."

The tree spirit dodged the boy's hand, and his face was slightly red.

The young man immediately put down his hand, stood up straight, and said, "Don't worry, senior sister!" I'm going to get that dry willow back! You and Master are waiting for my good news! ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves, took his sword, and strode down the mountain.

But he didn't take two steps, but the tree spirit rushed out in small steps, grabbed the young man's arm, and said, "Senior brother..."

The young man didn't look back, and said strongly: "Senior sister don't say anything, I will decide!" ”

The woman said lightly: "Fool, it's late at night in the forest, and there are many spirits haunting, so let the senior sister accompany you, and take care of each other." ”

The young man looked back at his senior sister, and his expression was a little stupid.

.......

Seeing the two of them walking downhill one after the other, Yang Xiao on the trunk of the tree stood up, shook his wings, and crossed the night sky, silently reciting the fusion path in his heart, while quietly following the young man and the tree spirit.

He didn't care how many people the dryad was going to eat, or what she wanted to do. At the moment, he is still in a state of ignorance of the world, as long as he can get more information, he will not let go of any opportunity.

Unlike the man last time, this time the young man next to the tree spirit was quite silent, he neither flirted with the tree spirit nor talked to her, but just held a sword and a jade shovel, poked the ground from time to time, and sniffed the smell of dirt.

The woman's demeanor was also completely different from the last time, she followed the boy step by step, and after the boy sniffed the dirt, she asked a question or two with concern, and after having an answer, she continued to move on.

If the boy accidentally touched her, she would even flick her hand away as if she were electrocuted, her face slightly red, and her eyes dodged.

That look stunned Yang Xiao, who followed behind.

Mo said that he had only been a person for 20 years, and even if he was a person for another 200 years, he felt that he would not be able to catch up with the acting skills of this tree spirit.

But the boy was a studious man, and every time he reached midnight he began to take out a silk book, spread it out on his knees, and study it carefully, and when he was done, he would take his sword and dance in the woods.

Yang Xiao looked at this young man in the dark, and felt that he was a serious protagonist, and couldn't help but be interested in the silk books he had been studying.

One night, when the two men had reached a place about a hundred miles from the valley where the bones had been piled up last time, the boy stopped again and danced in the forest with his sword.

After some dancing, the woman took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of the young man, and the young man hurriedly thanked him, took the handkerchief, and wiped it himself.

"Senior brother, you are working so hard, but you are doing nothing." The woman asked softly.

The young man said: "My father spent a lot of money to send me to the master, I can't live up to his old man's expectations, and when I return from school, I will also kill the evil for my hometown father." ”

"Poof."

The woman chuckled.

"Senior sister, why are you smiling?"

"Nothing. It's just that if you return after completing your studies, our fate will be over. The woman lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows and said, "Senior sister doesn't have your talent, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the teacher so soon." ”

The young man looked at the woman in a daze, and the cold moonlight shone on the senior sister's face, which was white and pink, like a flower.

"Mu... Senior Sister Mu..."

He said in a trembling voice.

"Huh?"

The woman snorted.

"If I leave the division, senior sister... Can my sister accompany me back like this? ”

The woman shuddered, raised her head, looked at him in disbelief, and said lightly: "Senior brother..."

"Senior sister, I will take care of you."

The boy said nervously but firmly, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembling with excitement.

The woman's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said as thin as a mosquito: "You have this heart, it is excellent..."

"Senior sister..."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and grabbed his senior sister's palm, his face excited. The woman didn't resist, but turned her head sideways, not daring to look at the boy.

Yang Xiao silently watched this scene from a distance, sneering in his heart, I was afraid that this young man would die soon, but I don't know how this woman will return to the mountain gate this time, last time she killed a pervert, this time she killed a nerd, she can't faint on the mountain gate every time.

It's just that when this young man dies, he can't leave without taking anything like last time, and the silk book on the young man's body is something he fancies, maybe there is a record of the method of cultivation.

Yang Xiao was wishful thinking in his heart, but at this moment, a piercing chirp came from the sky: "Gaha-Gaha———"

Yang Xiao frowned, turned his head, and saw an owl about his size in the tree next door, which was blowing up its fur and staring at him angrily.

Yang Xiao secretly scolded in his heart, he was watching the drama and was about to reach a climax, and a stinky owl ran out, is this fusion trick really no way to take these things that are born to grow?

The owl didn't care what Yang Xiao thought in his heart, and when he saw that someone had broken into its territory, it fluttered its wings and screamed loudly, pulling dung on the trunk of the tree while screaming.

"Gaha-"

Yang Xiao also yelled at the owl, signaling it to hurry up and get out, so as not to hinder itself from picking up the leak.

However, the owl was enraged, spread its wings and showed its claws and rushed towards Yang Xiao.

......

Under the tree not far away, the young man was startled, pushed the woman away abruptly, pulled out the matching sword at his waist, and stared straight at the place where the voice came from.

Instead, the woman gently grabbed the young man's palm and said, "Senior brother, don't be nervous, it's just two quarreling night owls, probably grabbing territory." ”

The young man didn't relax because of this, he frowned, and said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Senior sister, we... It's better to get out of here quickly, I always feel that this forest... It's a little weird. ”
