The owl stretched its long wings and glided under the morning glow of the heavy snow, and its huge wings were dyed a fiery red.

Looking at Anxi City, which is getting closer and closer, the city, the streets, and the pedestrians like ants gradually come into view, and the mood is quite agitated.

At this moment, the senior brother Liu Zai, who was sitting in front, gently knocked the green owl's back three times and signaled to land.

After half the incense, the group fell to the ground in a mountain col more than ten miles north of the city.

The sky and the earth were white, and dozens of crooked stone houses were scattered scattered in the col.

Liu Zaijiang chose the place where he settled on the high hill outside the village.

He jumped into the snow first, cleared a clearing, and then cast a spell to shoot You Dashan on it. Seeing that Youli looked at himself with a puzzled face, he asked with a smile:

"What do you want to ask?"

You Li motioned for the young owl to forage for food on its own, and then expressed his doubts:

"Senior brother, although we have initially left the battlefield, why don't we hurry up and enter the city?

Liu Zai searched back and forth for something as he cleared the withered bushes buried under the snow and said:

"Don't worry. With Zhai seniors and Qin seniors, plus the ambush of the flying cavalry battalion, there is not much of a problem. The serious thing is that the people behind have not yet come to meet, and the senior brother has to find out what the name of this treasure is. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked strange and muttered to himself:

"Although the status of our master is not small, but if you put those two big guys who are not good-tempered together at one time, Rao is no matter how big his old man's face is, he will be consumed sooner or later. We've got to hold on tight. ”

You Li was a little speechless when he heard it, and he was able to invite Zhai Moqing and Qin Fuxiang, two masters with outstanding combat power, and they all relied on the face of the master? You are such a loser, aren't you afraid that after the master and his old man get out of the customs, the whole world will chase you and cut you?

complained in his heart, and he still cleaned up a few designated locations according to his senior brother's instructions.

Then, Liu Zai shot several golden talismans one after another towards those places, forming a large array of golden talismans.

After doing this, he clapped his hands and explained:

"The nine-yuan return to the rune array version, the condensing pill period, the effect is worse than the genuine version laid out with a specially refined magic weapon, but it can also initially isolate all the qi from the outside world, and it is still no problem to barely hold a stick of incense. ”

Seeing him so solemn, you can't help but look forward to what will happen next.

Liu Zai stopped talking nonsense, and directly took out the skin bag covered with white fur, cast a spell, chanted a spell, and injected mana, and the skin bag, which was originally only a little slightly beating, immediately became restless.

After a few breaths, the moment Huo Ran opened the skin, a black shadow flew out, fleeing straight into the distance. However, it crashed into the transparent array wall of Jiuyuan Gui that emitted a faint golden light a few zhang away, and there was a loud "bang", which echoed endlessly within the large array.

The black shadow was blocked, and he didn't give up, and continued to flee in other directions, but it hit the formation wall again and again, making a sound, so that You Dashan, who had been in a state of false sleep refining his mind, became unconscious in a daze.

The flying speed of that black shadow was extremely fast, and it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye with its free cultivation. So, he released his divine sense and tried to track down his figure.

Just when his divine consciousness covered the entire large array, the black shadow that did not hit the south wall and did not look back suddenly realized that it was actually an attempt to escape, and it shot straight towards him.

Youli was bluffed, and was about to retreat to dodge, but Liu Zai held down his shoulders and froze in place, unable to move.

"Senior brother, ...... you" After he panicked for a moment, he immediately realized his senior brother's intentions, so he stubbornly stood motionless and obediently became a target.

In less than two blinks, the black shadow came in an instant, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, but after a few breaths, he felt that nothing had happened.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the senior brother stopped in front of him with one hand, and he was holding a struggling living creature tightly in his hand.

Wandering out of the dark breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and then went around to the front, seeing the thing more realistically.

I saw that thing, about three feet long, the thickness of the arm, the whole blue-black, one end of the long hair, curled like auspicious clouds, at this time just like a snake python curled up, the end of the miracle.

"It's ...... How does it look a bit like ......"

Liu Zai asked with a smile, "Like what?"

You Li glanced at it again, and said in an uncertain tone, "A bit like the tail of the dragon genus?"

Liu Zai smiled: "It seems that I still have a little knowledge." ”

You Li rolled his eyes: "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?"

Liu Zai encouraged: "Touch and see." ”

"Huh?" Youli looked at him with a puzzled face, a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

"Let you touch it, it's just a tail, can you still open your mouth to bite you?"

I used myself as a target just now, and this time I want to use myself as a guinea pig again? The tail was also like a thing, which had been quiet because of the exhaustion of the struggle, but now it seemed to be stimulated, and it struggled again, and the intensity was even greater than before.

At the same time, the left waist was hot, and the close-fitting beast sac became restless.

Liu Zai seemed to have expected it, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, open the beast sac." ”

Letting go of the divine sense prohibition of the beast sac, Liu Zai probed his divine sense, and took out a palm-sized golden scale from it.

After that, the golden scales sensed the breath on the tail, and the golden light flashed, directly shrinking to the size of ordinary fish scales.

Liu Zai immediately let go of his hands and let the two things move independently.

The next moment, the scales flew to the left of the tail that was lying in mid-air, and flew around several times before confirming what was going on, and flew straight to an inconspicuous gap above it.

After the remnants of the scales returned to their positions, the originally irritable tail immediately released a wave of excitement, as if it was happy that the scales on its body had been lost and regained.

Liu Zai stood next to Youli, and the surprise on his face was no less than that of Youli.

"Senior brother, just now this is the return of the object to its original owner?"

"I don't know. It's just that when I first got the skin that sealed this thing, all the emotions it released in it pointed at you—where did you get these scales?"

"What I looted on the Fog Demon Ridge seems to be the three-legged golden toad. Hidden along with this scale, there is also a scroll of animal skin documents, the text on it is incomprehensible, I rubbed a copy before and gave it to Kunyu Dao Chang. ”

When Liu Zai heard this, he frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said:

"I just said why I didn't hear the slightest news from Wu Desi, it turned out to be for Uncle Kunyu. As for the old Taoist's slamming the door, he will definitely not share it with Wu Desi for the first time, and he will give it to his senior brother to ponder for a while. ”

You Li was speechless for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was still too naïve. Unexpectedly, the immortal cultivation forces that both belong to the imperial court, the Daolu Academy and the Wude Division are really not as united as they seem.

So, he took out the paper and handed it to Liu Zai.

Liu Zai watched the scroll for more than ten breaths, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Youli had already taken precautions and caught him in time.

"This kind of text that can be directly fragmented by people is really unheard of and unseen. You say this is the three-legged golden toad thing, is it some kind of orc script? Is this effect that makes humans look dizzy, is it some kind of encryption technique?"

"I think so too. ”

Liu Zai looked at the tail that was suspended in mid-air and didn't want to move, muttered for a moment, and then handed back the animal skin document to Youli and instructed:

"You keep this paper first, this is your trophy, you decide what to do with it. ”

You Li hesitated, and didn't want to take over, but thinking that this thing might have a direct relationship with the origin of the jade pen, and figuring out the origin of the jade pen, it is very likely that he will find out his own life experience, so he decisively put it away.

"I'll go back and rub a copy of the text on it. ”

Liu Zai nodded: "It's okay." And regardless of whether the things recorded above are valuable or not, the accumulation of these bits and pieces alone is the foundation of the sect in the future. ”

I really have a sense of ownership, brother in charge. You Li teased in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being beaten.

After discussing this, the tail that was finally "complete" flew in front of the free eyes without warning.

Seeing this, Liu Zai was about to take action to protect one or two, but was stopped by a free stretch of his hand.

"Wait, brother, I can feel that it is not hostile. ”

"It's independent?"

"It's not an independent consciousness, it's more like some kind of instinct. Is it because I helped it recover the broken scale?"

Seeing that the tail began to circle around, Liu Zai said thoughtfully:

"It's not impossible. Since it approves of you, you first stabilize it. To be on the safe side, I'll seal it up first. ”

Before the words fell, the slender tail flicked coldly, and it actually whipped Liu Zai directly.

Liu Zai reacted very quickly and stopped him in time to avoid the embarrassment of being slapped in the face, but a shallow mark was left on his hand.

You Li couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Zai's face darkened, looked back, and analyzed: "Is it because I said I wanted to seal it?"

"Smack", another crisp sound.

It's just that this time Liu Zai was on guard and directly cast a spell to block it. He shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It seems that those two words really can't be mentioned—what did the Sau Sect do to it before? How can this remnant, who has not yet given birth to spiritual intelligence and has independent consciousness, be so repulsed by those two words?"

Before the words fell, the third crisp sound sounded again.

Seeing this, You Li finally couldn't help but gloat: "Senior brother, it seems that it is not just those two words that cannot be mentioned." ”

Liu Zai's face was dark, and he was about to use force on the tail, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

"Senior brother, since you don't know the specific situation, how did you organize this treasure hunt?"

Liu Zai cleared his throat and said mysteriously: "This is the highest level of secret mission issued by the capital. ”

Tilting his head, he asked, "From the palace?"

"Sort of. Liu Zai obviously didn't want to talk about this matter, glanced at You Dashan, who was still practicing pranayama not far away, and continued with a voice in his heart:

"Senior Brother can't reveal too much to you. Knowing too much isn't good for you either. As you may have guessed, Senior Brother, like Master, has been in Wudesi. Now that I have advanced to the Jindan stage, I have agreed that as long as I achieve this spiritual attainment, I will be able to leave the Wudesi on my own. And the current task was actually taken over by me before I left the capital, and I hadn't held Dan at that time, so this was the last task of Senior Brother Wu Desi's career. ”

Suddenly, he asked again: "So, this tail should be returned to the capital?"

Liu Zai said: "Originally, I did plan to do so. But to be honest, it's a bit hesitant now. ”

"Because of me?"

Liu Zai said with a smile: "According to my inference, this thing seems to involve the blessings of a country, which can enhance the fortune of a country, and is a must-have thing for the imperial court." And you are a body of luck, and if you can grow this body, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. ”

In addition to being grateful, he was also quite inspired, and guessed:

"Could it be that this tail is really a relic of a real dragon?"

"Who's to say it's not? Even if it's not a true dragon, it's most likely a dragon. The true meaning of luck contained in the latter, although it is far less than the former, but there is one counts as one, this kind of auspicious beast involving the way of fortune and luck must be more and better, no one will want it because it is too little. ”

While the two of them were concentrating on talking, You Dashan, who had been sitting silently, suddenly got up at some point, quietly walked to Youli's side, and reached out to grab the dragon's tail.
