Brilliant fireworks appeared in the air and quickly disappeared, but this was not the last, and then more fireworks exploded in the air, and the sound of thumping echoed non-stop.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo on the bed put down the book in his hand and turned to look at the fireworks outside in a daze.

Shout!

Bang!

Boom~

I don't know how many fireworks rang off in the distance, but they finally stopped, and the land in the night returned to its original tranquility.

Shen Yi retracted his gaze and continued to lie on the blanket.

Tsurumi Hatsuru lay back, but she didn't read anymore, but looked at the brilliant lights outside in a daze, and it seemed that her mind had gone with the disappeared fireworks.

After about four or five minutes, she should have figured out something, looked at Shen Yi stretched out her little foot and touched his scale armor, and asked with a smile: "Xuan Li Xuan Li!" ”

"Aang?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Would you like a late-night snack?" Shen Yi asked casually, his eyes never opened.

"No, I'm just asking if you're hungry."

"Why do you ask this?"

"I forgot about alchemy today."

"If you want to practice, you will get up and practice, when did I stop you?"

"I don't want to."

"I don't want you to say this, so turn off the lights and go to bed."

"I still have some Beast Pill, can you eat it?"

"Bring it." Shen Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at her very seriously.

He now feels more and more that the old witch is a little weird today, look at what kind of medicine she is selling in the gourd, as long as she dares to play tricks on herself, she has to make her cry today!

And Tsurumi Hatsumo didn't know what he was thinking, so when he said yes, he waved his hand.

"Whoa."

Shen Yi looked down, there were a bunch of pills on the blanket, and the Beast Danpei Yuan Dan was mixed together, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"Huh~" Looking at these pills, he couldn't figure it out, would the old witch really care if she had taken the pills or not?

On weekdays, the old witch forgets alchemy, and never asks herself if she is hungry, even if she remembers, she is the result of being urged by herself, and she reluctantly gets up to alchemy.

Today's performance was indeed abnormal.

Shen Yi's claws had nowhere to put them, he looked at the pill on the blanket, and then at Tsurumi Chuyun's face, and his mind was even more confused.

"Eat."

"Wait, you saved these Beast Pills, right?"

"Well, all the Beast Pills I've saved are here."

"It's a holiday today? Are you so willing? ”

"No, but today is your birthday, and the preparation is in a hurry, but you are not interested in the preparation, it will be all right, this is all the pills on my body."

"Birthday?"

"That's right."

"This ......" Shen Yi was confused at first, and then suddenly realized, calculating the time, he has been in this world for a year, he has never told anyone about his real birthday, and the old witch doesn't know, for her, the day she was born in this world is her birthday.

Reacting to this, Shen Yi's eyes became complicated as he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun.

I'll go, old witch, don't play the emotional card.

He was speechless for a while, and could only shout in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, you have a heart."

"Hee-hee, it's good if you're happy." Hearing Shen Yi's words, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and she seemed to be a lot happier lying on the bed.

And Shen Yi sighed and threw the pills into his mouth one by one.

The atmosphere quieted down, and halfway through the pill, Shen Yi said faintly: "Old witch, in fact, my birthday is not on this day. ”

"When was that?"

"This ...... I can't say it, even today. Shen Yi bared his teeth for a while, he was born on the earth in his previous life after 00, his birthday on January 8th, and the people in this world use the lunar calendar, and the lunar calendar is strange and familiar to Shen Yi, because he only uses the new calendar, the lunar calendar is used by the older generation in the previous life, and he doesn't know the corresponding month and day of the lunar calendar, so he can't answer.

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, when is your birthday?"

"It's already gone." When he said this, Tsurumi Hatsukumo had already turned his head back, and looked at the ceiling as if he was in a daze again.

She suddenly remembered that when the Tsurumi Mansion was not destroyed, she looked forward to her birthday every year, because she could receive a lot of gifts on that day, and the third prince, who she couldn't see on weekdays, would also show up to congratulate her.

I don't know when she forgot about this important day.

It was supposed to be the day of her birthday, but it passed very plainly, and she didn't even remember what happened that day, as if she was just messing with Xuan Li?

I guess so.

"It's over...... No, aren't you answering the wrong question? I ask you when your birthday is! ”

"Why do you ask this?"

"Don't say it."

"Okay, I'll say, the fifth day of May next year."

"Tut-tut."

"Xuan Li, what gift will you prepare for me tomorrow for my birthday?" Tsurumi Chuyun leaned half of his body to the side of the bed, looking at Shen Yi's eyes shining.

The other party glanced at him and said angrily: "You don't feel embarrassed to ask like this?" ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

"It's almost, don't expect too much from me, I may forget it then, and prepare a gift for you, huh~ Do you want an immortal weapon?"

"Yes!"

"Dream on, you still want immortal weapons for these pills, tsk~"

"Then I'll refine more for you tomorrow, if you're not satisfied with what you want, just say it, I'll buy it for you."

"I want an elixir, the kind that can increase cultivation for thousands of years."

“…… Do you think I look like an elixir? ”

"Like."

"Then you've eaten me."

"That's what you said?"

"Hmm...... Yes! ”

"I'm moving!"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! ”

"Forget it, for the sake of you giving me my birthday, I won't get you today, sleep."

"How can there be such a thing as you~"

“……”

The night passed quickly.

Early in the morning, Shen Yi rinsed his mouth and spit out the water into the basin, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the bamboo tube on the table.

"Why did you get this thing out again?"

Tsuru, who was concentrating on alchemy, saw Chu Yun and said without looking back: "I'll take it out and see if it's inside." ”

"And then?"

"No response."

Shen Yi stretched out his claws and pinched the bamboo tube and shook it twice, but there was indeed no response.

"Hey, is the black son in there still there?"

“……”

"Okay, don't you say anything, huh? I'll burn it for you right now. ”

Da-da-da-da!

"Isn't this still there?"

Tsurumi Hatsumo glanced back and didn't say a word.

The evil in the bamboo tube seems to eat hard rather than soft......

At this moment, Wu Gong's shout came from downstairs.

"Little girl! Girl! You've packed up and it's time to go! ”

"Oh! Here it comes! Seeing Chuyun, Crane hurriedly responded, got up and used his spiritual power to take out the pill refined in the Dan furnace and handed it to Shen Yi, then put away the Dan furnace, took the bamboo tube containing the evil spirit, hung it around his waist at will, and hurried out with Shen Yi.

At the back door of the restaurant, Wu Gong and the four of them had already packed their luggage and waited, and as soon as he saw Chuyun coming out, he rode on his horse and said, "Let's go." ”

"Follow me, let's go in the direction of the South Gate."

"Are you familiar with the road?"

"We haven't been there, how do you know? However, Lao Zhang and I have just inquired about it, and we have been going to the southwest, Jinxizhuang, and we will be able to reach Jianmen Pass the day after tomorrow. ”

"Who are those who arrested you, have you inquired?"

"Nope."

"What's the matter, Lao Tzu is out of the Sword Gate, even if the Great Sedum falls, what does it matter to us?"

"Amount."

“……”

The distance between the back gate of the restaurant and the south gate of the capital is not far away, and the five people rode horses for a while.

It's just that the moment he saw the city gate, Wu Gong's face changed, and he pulled the reins to stop the horses under him.

"Why are there so many defenders?"

I saw that the city gate was full of soldiers in armor, all with serious faces and unsmiling, and all caravans and pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate were stopped and interrogated without exception.

There were too many soldiers, and they only saw part of them, and there were many more outside the city gates, and there was a sense of murder in the air.

Normally, the defenders of the city would not conduct such a stern examination of passers-by, which is obviously unusual, and a few people instantly realized that it could be because of what happened yesterday.

However, no one gave them an accurate answer, Wu Gong frowned and looked at it for a while, then dismounted in the distance, and then motioned with his eyes for the others to also get off the horse.

"Little girl, you wait here, let's go over and have a look."

"I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's go."

After a brief exchange, the five of them approached the city gate as if they had nothing to do, but they didn't get too close, stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate, and chatted naturally against a wall, while several people observed the situation at the city gate.

After looking at it for a while, Wu Gong asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Are there any acquaintances over there? ”

"No, boss, it's all people I don't know." Wu Sheng opened his mouth to respond, and their eyes were always on the soldiers who were checking their household registration.

Whether they can go or not depends on their faces, it is easy for Tsuru to see Chuyun, after all, she got the identity of "Mu Yinxiang" to be genuine, and Wu Gong and they can't, the household registration on their bodies is fake at a glance, which is usually used for perfunctory.

"Boss, what now?"

Wu Gong shook his head, there is a chance that this situation is because of them, but after looking around, he did not find that the cultivation was too strong, and those few strong people were not here yesterday.

After thinking about it, it should be that those people suspected that they and others might appear in the capital yesterday, so they let these soldiers investigate, but it was only suspicion, this can be regarded as the only good news, but he is not sure if there is one, after all, now is not the time to use his senses indiscriminately to investigate.

Wu Gongdun felt troubled, and originally wanted to go to other directions to have a look, but he quickly dispelled such an idea, the south city gate is like this, and the exit of the city gate in other directions is probably exactly the same situation, and it will only be a waste of time in the past.

"Little girl, I remember that you have the seal of the Dajing Mansion on your household registration, why don't you go over first?"

"So what are you going to do?"

"Let's find another way."

"Don't do anything stupid."

"No, no, now you have seen the situation, it is not easy for us to go out, rather than delay you here, it is better for you to set off first, it's a big deal that we will meet in Jiangzhou." Wu Gong said helplessly, of course they know that breaking out is the stupidest way, so many soldiers, choosing to break in is simply sending them to death, there were so many things yesterday, they want to leave the capital, the safest way can only be to wait for the turmoil to subside.

Listening to Wu Gong's words, Tsuru saw Chuyun's brows furrowed, and just as she was thinking hard about the way, the bamboo tube that she hung on her waist suddenly remembered a "da-da-da" sound, which was very urgent.

The eyes of several people were attracted by the bamboo tube.

"What sound?"

"It's this bamboo tube."

"Why does this bamboo tube ring? Is it a ritual weapon? ”

Tsurumi Hatsuun hurriedly took off the bamboo tube and explained, "Oh, this bamboo tube is not a magic weapon, but an evil cult that I caught earlier. ”

"Evil? When? ”

"It's still in Beiting City."

"Why did you bring this with you?"

"Well...... I was going to get rid of it, but I put it in the storage space and forgot about it. ”

"Oh, what's in there?"

"Ordinary people like to call it the black son, have you ever heard of it?"

"Black son, of course I've heard of it, how did you catch it?"

"Let's talk about this later." Tsurumi Hatsuun stepped aside and shook the bamboo tube twice, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

Dada!

The bamboo tube shook more rapidly, and in the consciousness space, Shen Yi couldn't help but say: "We can't hear it talking inside, you want to find a way to make it speak." ”

Tsurumi Hatsumo blinked and glanced around, at this time it was making a fuss inside, as if it was a little inexplicable.

As if thinking of something, she asked the bamboo tube not very surely, "Do you have a way to help us?" ”

Dada~

The voice from inside was still hurried, and the evil seemed desperate to prove something.

"Don't worry, according to what Xuan Li told you yesterday, if you ring once, if you don't, you will ring twice."

Before the words fell, the bamboo tube sounded "da".

Seeing that Chuyun was silent, Tsuru looked at Wu Gong and the others, and they hurriedly asked, "How can the evil in here help us?" ”

"I don't know." Shaking her head, Tsurumi Hatsumo glanced at the soldiers who were checking the pedestrians at the city gate, she probably understood something, took out the flower hairpin, bit her index finger and poked a hole in the bamboo tube, I don't know what she was doing, in short, she finally wiped her own hole in the bamboo tube, and there was a faint wind sound inside.

"Alright, you speak now, we should be able to hear you."

The bamboo tube was quiet, and after a while, a strange voice that seemed to be a mixture of male and female voices, neither male nor female, came out, but it was very weak.

"I can help you get out of the city, but you have to promise me that after I help you, you must let me go."

"......" (end of chapter)
