After hearing the old beggar's words, Zuo Dao couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he looked at the old beggar with a surprised face and said, "Could it be that you know the traces of the Vermilion Bird?" ”

When the old beggar heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "How can I know about this kind of thing." ”

Zuo Dao sighed: "In that case, then what can you do?" ”

Hearing this, the old beggar immediately got up from the ground and sucked the oil and water from his fingers into his stomach.

Then he said: "Although I don't know the traces of the Vermilion Bird, over the years, I have domesticated many birds to pick up some fallen copper plates for me. ”

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed on Mo Yang's face.

He immediately spoke: "No wonder you old guy nest here every day, and you don't go to beg, and you haven't starved to death yet, it turns out that you have such means." ”

The old beggar said with a disgusted face: "Go, go, the old man speaks, don't interrupt the boy." ”

When Mo Yang heard this, he immediately closed his mouth.

I only heard the old beggar speak: "Some time ago, the birds I domesticated moved a little, and it seemed that they wanted to leave here. ”

"If it weren't for the old man, I would have been skilled, and I am afraid that I would not have even been able to keep a bird by my side."

"The old man was thinking at the time, these birds were afraid that they had received the call of the Vermilion Bird and wanted to leave here."

"If this boy really wants to find the Vermilion Bird, you can go with the bird I domesticated, not to mention that you can find the Vermilion Bird 100%, at least there is a glimmer of hope."

"It's just that the old man has domesticated these birds for so many years, and we are like relatives ......"

Looking at the old beggar with a smile on his face and constantly rubbing his fingers.

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "Money is not a problem, how can you guarantee that your bird just wants to find Suzaku." ”

"As far as I know, there are not a few bird tamers in this desert city."

The implication of his words is very clear, others also train birds, how can they not find the Vermilion Bird.

How can an old beggar find a bird that he trained?

When the old beggar heard this, he immediately said with a proud face: "How can they compare with me, if they can receive the birds summoned by the Vermilion Bird, they must be wild." ”

"The birds they tame have already gone nine times out of ten, and they can't even do it."

"The old man's domesticated birds, although they are obedient, are not less wild at all."

As he spoke, he whistled directly.

Not far from the treetops, a flock of birds flew to its side, chirping and chirping.

Then a few birds flew in with a copper plate in their mouths and spat it into the old beggar's bowl.

The old beggar was overjoyed, and immediately touched the birds with a smile.

Said: "Good bird, really good bird of the old man." ”

When Mo Yang heard this, he looked envious.

If he had this kind of ability, he wouldn't have to squat in the city every day and look for a new guide to enter the city.

This time I met a high roller, who couldn't even take care of food and clothing before.

Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes.

The old turtle looked at the birds beside the old beggar with some curiosity, and said, "It's really wild." ”

Zuo Dao said in a low voice: "Senior, do you think you can find Suzaku here?" ”

The old turtle touched the beard on his chin and said, "Maybe you can give it a try." ”

If it were for him who had not been sealed and cultivated, where would he still need these birds.

Just when the divine consciousness is dispersed, it can cover the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.

Alas......

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said, "How can these birds be sold?" ”

The old beggar stretched out a palm with a smile and said, "This is the old man's relatives!" ”

"Five taels of silver for a bird, no bargaining."

When Mo Yang heard this, he immediately said angrily: "You old thing robbing money? ”

Five taels of silver is enough for him to spend half a year comfortably with a few younger brothers, who will use it to buy a bird?

As soon as the words fell.

Then he saw Zuo Dao directly throw out a silver ingot, and said, "Ten taels of silver, three." ”

The old beggar's face turned dark, and he said: "Childe, don't bring such a bargain, I have been domesticated for a long time, and I am like a relative, and I can definitely help you find the traces of the Vermilion Bird." ”

Zuo Dao glanced at the birds beside the old beggar and said, "Ten taels of silver, it is possible to buy one, and if it is more, it will not be cost-effective." ”

The old beggar struggled for a long time and said, "It's okay, who made the old man lack money." ”

He raised his hand and pointed lightly, only to see three fist-sized birds fly out and land directly on the left shoulder.

The old beggar said, "These three birds are very obedient, and I hope that the son will treat them better." ”

Zuo Dao looked at the three birds on his shoulder, and a touch of surprise flashed on his face.

This seems to be more obedient than the peregrine falcons domesticated by the Jinyi Guard.

He said, "How?" ”

The old beggar put away the silver weakly and said, "You only need to release it when the son leaves." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao nodded slightly, but it was simpler than he imagined.

Forthwith.

He and the old beggar inquired about the situation in the Great Xuan Dynasty again.

What he didn't expect was that this old beggar knew a lot about many places in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Even a lot of rumors can be said one or two.

If it weren't for the fact that the old beggar was covered in rags and exuded a rancid smell all over his body.

He thought he was talking to some well-informed old pedant.

At nightfall.

Mo Yang stood aside a little anxiously, and some wanted to urge Zuo Dao and the two to return to the inn.

But he didn't dare to speak.

After all, this was the only high roller he had ever met, and if he had done evil.

How do you do this job?

He didn't talk to the old beggar for too long, so he took advantage of the night to walk towards the Tongfu Inn.

After returning to the inn, Mo Yang left on his own.

Zuo Dao looked at the three birds on his shoulders with some curiosity, and said, "Senior, can you see what is so strange about these birds?" ”

The old turtle glanced at it and said, "It has been domesticated by special means, so it's nothing special." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, although he was still a little curious in his heart, he didn't say anything.

Early the next morning.

Under the leadership of Mo Yang, Zuo Dao and the two of them purchased a lot of materials in the city.

At noon, the meal was served.

After a meal.

Zuo Dao casually threw a tael of silver to Mo Yang, and said: "You alone rely on luck, you can't support so many people, go and take them to learn a craft, in order to survive in this world." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yang looked at the one or two pieces of silver in his hand, and his face was a little ruddy.

Then he kowtowed to the left.

Said: "Thank you, Childe." ”

When he looked up again, he saw Zuo Dao and Lao Gui already riding in the direction of the city gate.

Then I saw seven or eight sallow young children running over, chattering around Mo Yang and talking about something.

In fact, when he saw the old beggar yesterday, Zuo Dao found out about it.

His divine sense could spread out for tens of feet, and he was naturally able to perceive everything around him.

Even during today's meal, he could faintly hear the sound of someone swallowing in the corner.

This is also the reason why Zuo Dao would throw a tael of silver to Mo Yang before leaving.

He's not a bad guy, but he's not that bad either.

After walking out of the city gates.

Zuo Dao whispered to the three birds on his shoulder, "Go." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the three birds on his shoulders suddenly flutter their wings and fly high, heading into the distance.

Zuo Dao directly slapped two light suits on the two of them, chasing the birds and running wildly.

Speaking of which, the talisman he asked for from Zhao Tong was almost the same.

If there is a chance in the future, I will have to invite Zhao Tong to have another meal.

After all, although this thing is not very powerful, it is still very useful in some aspects.

The two horses galloped until evening, and then let the three birds come down on the left side.

Although these three birds were not domesticated by him, his spirit was strong enough to be able to sense it.

There is still a long, long way to go to the destination they are going to.

After all, the place where Suzaku is is not something that can be found in a direction, and these three little guys need to lead the way.

At night.

The two led their horses to a small village on the side of the road.

Although there are hundreds of miles between Mocheng and the next city, some villages and towns can still be found at night.

As soon as the two entered the village, they felt that the village was dead silent.

Zuo Dao frowned slightly.

Could it be that the demonic turmoil of this Great Xuan Dynasty is also very serious.

He could sense that it was inhabited, and it must have been just after dinner, so how could there be no movement at all.

Zuo Dao led the horse forward and knocked on the door of a farmer who looked good.

There was a knock on the door.

But I only heard a small sound from inside, but no one came to open the door.

The old turtle glanced at him and said, "There is a demonic aura here, and the people here should also know it, I'm afraid that no matter how much you knock on the door, they won't open it." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao directly turned over and jumped into the courtyard wall and came to the door where he heard the movement.

Raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was a suppressed whisper from inside, obviously startled.

Zuo Dao said: "We are not bad people, we are just passing by here at night, and if we want to spend the night, we can give money." ”

I don't know if it's the charm of silver, or if I know that I can't hide from it.

There was a sound of movement in the room.

I saw that the door was opened a crack, and a middle-aged man with a sickle stood inside the door.

Through the crack in the door, after seeing that Zuo Dao was a person, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said through the door: "Where are you from?" ”

Zuo Dao said: "From Mocheng, I want to go to the royal capital of Daxuan to have a look, passing through here, the night is already dark, so I came to bother." ”

After saying that, he directly took out a penny of silver and threw it through the crack in the door.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man carefully picked up the silver, and then opened the door and walked out.

opened his mouth and said: "Please forgive this son, Lijia Village is not peaceful during this time, and I dare not make a disturbance at night." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao asked, "But what happened in the village?" ”

The middle-aged man walked to open the door and welcomed the old turtle in, and said: "During this time, the village can always hear strange screams at night, and many people's captive livestock have disappeared inexplicably. ”

"A few days ago, a villager who went out to pee at night disappeared from his home for no reason, leaving only a pool of blood."

"So now everyone in the village is in danger, and they dare not move at night."

Zuo Dao frowned and said, "Why didn't you report to the official?" ”

The middle-aged man closed the courtyard door and said helplessly: "I reported to the official, and the catchers have also come to check, but what can I do if I can't find out?" ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed even more, and then took the two of them directly to a side room, and said: "The two guests will stay here tonight, there is everything in it, and the night pot is also there, and if you hear any movement at night, remember not to go out." ”

Immediately, he trotted all the way to his room and closed the door directly.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then said: "I will spend one night here tonight, and I should be able to go to the next city tomorrow afternoon." ”

The old turtle didn't care, let Zuo Dao directly take out a table of banquets, light the oil lamp and start eating and drinking.

It was late at night.

Zuo Dao suddenly opened his eyes, and a sword pill suddenly flew out of his body, which was obtained in the secret realm of the Dragon Palace.

The sword pill turned into a silver light, and directly broke through the window paper and flew outside.

The next moment.

I heard a scream from outside the courtyard wall, and then I saw the sword pill flying again.

Zuo Dao pushed open the door and jumped out of the courtyard wall, only to see a long snake corpse lying on the ground.

It's just that unlike other monsters, this snake's head has a human face, which looks quite weird.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao said with pity on his face: "I can't add food." ”

If this snake is an ordinary snake demon, it would be fine, but why does he have a human face and a human head?

As if hearing movement outside, the middle-aged man secretly opened the crack in the door.

I happened to see Zuo Dao jumping in from outside the courtyard wall.

He immediately whispered, "This son, what have you discovered?" ”

He can see that this son who dares to rush to the night road is a master of art and bold.

Heaven is not afraid of the earth.

Even if I said that there were monsters harming people recently, it was still so inappropriate.

Zuo Dao glanced at him and said, "There is a snake demon who has targeted my horse and was slaughtered by me. ”

After that, he went straight back to his room.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened and his face was full of horror.

He struggled in the room for a long time, and then he had the courage to open the door and come out.

But halfway through the door, he was stopped.

There was a sound of argument in the room, and then it slowly stopped.

It was early the next morning.

When the sky is bright.

There was an exclamation outside, followed by a series of shouts.

The middle-aged man walked out with his family, only to see a long snake corpse lying outside the wall of his courtyard.

The length of the snake's body was just above its own courtyard wall, revealing a human head.

This made him exclaim.

Then I heard someone say, "Good girl, this is the evil spirit who has been doing trouble in the village during this time?" ”

"No wonder I've been hearing from my son lately that there are women staring at him outside the wall at night, it turns out to be this kind of monster."

At this moment, Zuo Dao and the two had breakfast and led the horses over.

He actually wanted to dispose of the monster's corpse last night, but after thinking about it, if these villagers didn't know that the monster had been removed.

I don't know how long I have to be afraid, so I simply left the monster corpse.

Today, although these people are not very bold, they will not run away when they see the corpse.

And the middle-aged man thought of what Zuo Dao said last night.

When he spoke, he said: "Big guy, this is the son who got rid of the snake demon for us, thank you quickly." ”

When the people heard this, they were amazed.

But he still thanked him: "Thank you for this son." ”
