Chapter Twenty-Three: Meeting the Year Beast

The atmosphere of the New Year is always so good, you can sleep unscrupulously, or you can eat with snacks.

The fireworks outside the window resounded through the sky one round after another, and even the stars did not dare to come forward, but Rao was so, and the city's bright lights still made the whole night no longer lonely.

In order to watch the Spring Festival Gala, I went to buy two large bottles of Sprite and a case of beer in the afternoon, and also bought a lot of duck paws to make snacks by myself, not only that, but there are also melon seeds, candy, plums, oranges, sugarcane, etc. on the coffee table, in short, it is worth it to gain a pound tonight!

Ah Ying glanced at her phone from time to time, and I knew that she was waiting for Zihao's message. They have known each other for two years, and every year during the New Year, even if they are not together, they will say happy new year to each other, but this year there is no more, and there is no news.

I reached out and snatched her phone, and when she was surprised, I stuffed an orange into her mouth: "Why are you unhappy for the Chinese New Year? Are you thinking about him now, is he thinking about you?"

Ah Ying lowered her head while chewing on the orange. She was silent, but she knew that what I said was right, and that she hadn't come to snatch the phone back.

I looked at her appearance, distressed to death, this is my best friend, I usually feel too much to make her angry, when have I seen her like this?

But I couldn't be her boyfriend, and I couldn't give her one, so I got up and went to the kitchen, took out a cake from the cabinet and put it on the coffee table.

Ah Ying's eyes lit up and she looked straight at me.

"You were in the hospital on your birthday, so I didn't give it to you, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I made it in the afternoon, it doesn't look good, but it's all your favorite fruits, give a face and taste it?" I opened the cake box and looked at her with a smile.

Ah Ying looked at it and smiled, she smiled so beautifully, very sweet. "You remember, thank you. ”

"Thank you, but don't say the cake is not delicious!"

Ah Ying suddenly laughed and I was playing together, and after a while, there were several traces of cream on my face, fragrant, sweet and greasy, it smelled so good.

I didn't dare to mess with Ah Ying, she had only been discharged from the hospital for a long time, but she didn't dare to exercise vigorously, this kind of small game was just a taste. I handed Ah Ying a spoon to eat the cake and went to the bathroom to wash up myself.

As I was washing my face, I casually glanced out the window, and suddenly something caught my eye.

I leaned closer to the bed, and when I looked closely, it looked like a huge feline, jumping on the beams of the house, occasionally jumping into the middle of the road, and being frightened by passing passers-by, and quickly hiding in the shadows. And the reason why I noticed it was because it was definitely not an ordinary cat, its body was slightly glowing with golden light, and it was extremely holy, and it was the size of a tiger!

I took off my glasses, and the feline disappeared from my eyes, and when I put them back on, I saw it leap into the bushes of a tree.

"What is this?"

I wiped a handful of water droplets on my face with a towel, and wanted to go out to chase it, only to remember that my house was on the seventeenth floor, and if I jumped, I would become the first cultivator to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Just as I was about to condense a firefly to kill, the beauty suddenly jumped on the windowsill and blocked my view. "That's the beast, year. ”

"Nian?" I winked, "That's it...... New Year's Day?"

I am reminded of a legend that in ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian", which came out to spoil the crops at the turn of the old and new years. At the end of every year, people stick red couplets and set off firecrackers at the door of their homes, so that the "Nian" is so scared that they flee and no longer endanger people. People were glad to defeat the New Year beast, and the custom was passed down, that is, "New Year".

But I always thought that this was a legend, or was it the first time it was confirmed, and there really was a year beast?

The beauty nodded slightly and continued: "Every New Year, there will be auspicious births, and the New Year beast is the most common one, but in ancient times, people thought that it was a beast that harmed the crops, and used firecrackers to scare it away, and later it became a custom. In fact, the Nian Beast was a mount that the lucky star sat on in ancient times, and at this time of the year, it would go down to the earth to arrange good fortune. ”

"There is a legend that if you get the blessing of the New Year beast during the New Year, then the year will be smooth, safe and healthy, and if you are hit by the 'night', you will be unlucky for the whole year. The beauty looked at me: "So, 'Xi' is also a kind of beast, and it is the sworn enemy of 'Nian'." ”

"Oh, oh!" I really understood. "No wonder the names 'New Year' and 'Chinese New Year's Eve' actually mean to welcome good fortune and remove bad luck. ”

I had to look at the beast from afar, and sure enough, after being explained by the beauty, it suddenly looked much more pleasing to the eye, and I watched it almost slide off the roof, like a cute big cat that was dumb.

"Hey, is that human?"

Suddenly, I saw a figure jumping up to the roof from the side of the road, and then chased directly towards the year beast like a flying eaves in a martial arts drama.

I can see it all, and the beauty naturally sees it too. The beauty frowned slightly, a little uncertain: "Could it be that someone is hunting the Year Beast?"

"Hunting Year Beasts?

"Because it's a rui beast, cultivators have a lot of uses for getting rui beasts, refining tools, alchemy, and improving cultivation are all reasons. Beauty said.

"How can this be true! This is a blessed beast!"

I snorted and shook the towel in my hand, grabbed a coat from the room and ran out.

"Xiaobai, what are you going to do?" Ah Ying saw that my face was not good, and hurriedly asked.

"Hit someone!" I scolded and went straight out.

"Remember to start the live broadcast!" said the beauty who jumped on the couch and said behind me. Ah Ying looked at the beauty, her face was inexplicable, the beauty grabbed a duck claw with her paws, gnawed slowly, and then said: "The cultivator of the third grade, she should be able to fight." ”

So Ah Ying silently took my mobile phone stuffed into the crack of the sofa, clicked on the mushroom, and waited for me to broadcast live.

"It's still the same as before, causing trouble, and the so-called sense of justice is full. The beauty also came to Ah Ying's side, waiting for the live broadcast to start.

I remember what the beauty said, so I opened the live broadcast room as soon as I got downstairs.

"HELLO BABIES, I DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO COME TO THE LIVE BROADCAST AGAIN FOR THE NEW YEAR, RIGHT? ”

So I rode a battery car to chase the New Year Beast, and at the same time told the audience all the causes and experiences I saw.

[Nian Beast?Is it really fake?Is there really such a thing?]

[Even the ghosts have been seen, I think the anchor can understand it when he sees the year beast!]

[Haven't you caught it yet? I've never seen the Nian Beast! It turns out that the Nian Beast is a blessing, the anchor must catch up and rescue the Nian Beast, and give you a little flower!]

[The anchor himself said that he just suspected that person was hunting the Year Beast, or maybe he was just curious to catch up and take a look? But praise for the spirit of the anchor, the rocket goes!]

With the direction in my memory, I increased my horsepower to chase after it, and after chasing three streets, I could vaguely see two black shadows jumping on the roof of a small community.

"Found it!"

I immediately chased in the direction of the Nian Beast.

[Wow, is that really a year beast? From a distance, it looks like a big cat all the time!]

[The one in the back is a cultivator? Can fly the eaves and walk the wall, how can you have to transform into a god, right?

After chasing for more than ten minutes, I found the Nian Beast and the cultivator in the botanical garden. The Botanical Garden, which is the Botanical Garden opposite the Jinghui Hotel, the place where Hood Town got married.

I pulled the battery car to the side, climbed over the fence, spread my legs and chased after it on the steps, where the Nian Beast and the cultivator were by a lake in the valley. Because today is the Chinese New Year and the botanical garden is closed, there is not even a single person inside except for the street lights that are automatically lit by solar energy.

My run startled the birds perched on the edge of the lake, exposing me at once, and both the Nian Beast and the cultivator looked directly at me.

I took a breath and stood still about ten meters away from them, then I looked at the Nian Beast and the cultivator.

Looking at the Nian Beast up close, it is bigger than the tiger, its back is almost as high as my shoulders, it looks a little like a lion, but there are auspicious cloud lines on its forehead and body, and the faint golden light in the night is emitted by this auspicious cloud pattern. Obviously, this is a very fierce and domineering beast, but those eyes are extraordinarily black and bright, just like Samoyed's big eyelids, which makes people feel very good at once.

I even felt that standing so close to it made me feel like I was blessed with it, and I couldn't tell what was wrong, but I felt that even my breathing became easier.

And that cultivator is wearing a night suit, which is almost exactly the same as in the costume drama, and even the appearance is no different: black clothes, black turbans, black gauze to cover his face, and a steel knife shiny, he is simply a standard killer! Even my live broadcast room is full of complaints.

[This guy is okay, right? I've watched too many TV series, right?

[Now many TV series don't dare to shoot like this, okay?]

[Is this guy running too much in the crew? ]

[666, isn't this more exciting than the Spring Festival Gala?

[There's nothing wrong with Lao Tie upstairs, I'll take my sister to watch the live broadcast together!]

I looked at the man in black and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

The man in black glanced at me up and down, probably not expecting to be bumped into by someone, and his anger overflowed: "You are a mere second-class person, and you dare to disturb my good deeds?"

I was stunned, yes, I don't even know his cultivation, am I looking for death? Is it too late to leave?

Who didn't hear the words that the beauty muttered when I went out?

At this time, the voice of "the most pet baby" came from my earphones: "Don't be afraid, anchor, he has just broken through to the third grade, and the clothes on his body are a three-grade magic weapon, which can be supported by the wind." Have you refined the dragon whip I gave you? If you do, you can just test the power. ”

With the reminder of "the most pet baby", I was immediately full of confidence. The beauty once said that the aura in the body of a cultivator of the third grade is 1,200 breaths, but there are 1,800 breaths in my body!

Immediately, I also grinned and laughed: "Sanpin is amazing, the old lady is the most disgusted with people like you, I think I am very powerful, but in fact, I am only a paper tiger!"
