Chapter Twenty-Six: Shi Xiu's Secrets

Early in the morning, Murong Feng slowly opened his eyes. It was discovered that the others had begun to pack their bags and prepare to continue their advance into the depths of the forest. I have to say that yesterday's battle with One-Eyed gave everyone a lot of confidence. After all, as a hunting ground specially opened for cultivators in the Qi cultivation period and foundation building period, there were not many high-grade spirit beasts in the first place. Since they were able to defeat One-Eyed, it meant that in this dense forest, there would not be any spirit beasts that would cause them too much trouble.

Just as everyone was about to set off, Shi Xiu, who had always been silent, suddenly stopped everyone. Shi Xiu pursed her lips a little dry, clenched her hands into fists, and looked like she wanted to say something. Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shi Xiu meaningfully, sighed, and didn't say anything.

"Brother Shi, what are you calling everyone to do?" Seeing that Shi Xiu stopped everyone, but didn't say anything, Li Huanguang stepped forward and asked.

"I don't want anything else from this hunt, I just want the tiger's bones and demon pills. Shi Xiu didn't dare to look at Li Huanguang, so he could only lower his head and reply with a stammer.

"What does Brother Shi mean by this?" Hearing Shi Xiu's words, Li Huanguang replied a little unhappily. Although the team received a lot of goods yesterday, but most of them were second- and third-grade spirit beasts, and all the materials together were not as good as any of the materials on the five-grade jungle tiger, and the most useful thing on this jungle tiger was the tiger skin, tiger bones and five-grade demon pills.

"Brother Shi, don't be in a hurry. We've only been in the hunting ground for a day, and when the winter hunt is over, it's never too late for us to part. Maybe when the time comes, Brother Shi's income will be much greater than the tiger bone and the demon pill. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, Zhang Beiyan hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game.

"No matter what we hunt in the future, I don't want it, I want this tiger bone and demon pill. Shi Xiu didn't appreciate the steps given by Zhang Beiyan, and still bowed his head and insisted on saying.

"Brother Shi, you are simply unreasonable now!" Li Huanguang said angrily. Then he twisted his head to the other side and didn't look at Shi Xiu.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, only to see her staring at Shi Xiu first, and then looking around at everyone. His lips were closed, and he kept stamping his feet, trying to open his mouth to say something, but the words that came to his mouth were swallowed again.

After struggling for a while, Chu Xiaoxiao finally spoke: "Give the tiger bone and demon pill to Shi Xiu, even if the two of us get it, if we don't have much harvest in the next few days." I don't take a penny from Chu Xiaoxiao!" Chu Xiaoxiao let go of her red little hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Xiaoxiao's statement surprised Murong Feng. After all, the nickname of "Chu Pixiu" is known to everyone in the entire Guiyi Sect, and no one knows it. On the issue of money, Chu Xiaoxiao has never let anyone, even if it is a weasel before, he does not dare to take advantage of Chu Xiaoxiao every time. Let "Chu Pixiu" not take benefits, it is more difficult than the sun rising in the west.

"Count me in, this tiger bone and demon pill are counted as the three of us, if we don't have much harvest in the next few days. I, Murong Feng, don't take a penny!" Murong Feng, who had been sitting by the tree pranayama, also spoke. After all, Shi Xiu is his roommate, and when he first came to return to a home, he also borrowed his own rations. As for Chu Xiaoxiao, Murong Feng had long regarded her as his brother who shared life and death. Now even "Chu Pixiu" can give up what he gets in order to help Shi Xiu, why can't he do it.

"This, the two of you are a little out of sight, after all, we lived and died together yesterday, and we can be regarded as friends of fate. In this way, no matter what the harvest is in the next few days, the tiger bone and the demon pill are all three. Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiao and Murong Feng had already spoken to such an extent. Li Huanguang didn't want to continue to entangle, so he said loosely.

"Yes, yes, a few people value peace. This tiger bone and demon pill. We don't want it. Zhang Beiyan also agreed.

After distributing the supplies, everyone packed their luggage and prepared to continue their journey, the hunt of the day was quite smooth, and when they set up camp in the evening, the five of them hunted more than forty second-grade spirit beasts and seven or eight third-grade spirit beasts. It's a pity that these things together are still not as good as a five-grade demon pill or that tiger bone, after all, it is a hunting ground for low-level cultivators. If there are five-grade spirit beasts everywhere, how can anyone dare to come to hunt.

In the evening, Murong Feng was still sitting under a big tree to rest. Although after last night's recuperation, his injuries are no longer serious. But it's not a cure after all. During the day, he participated in another day's hunting, and if he did not breathe in time, he was very likely to fall ill. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless, and as soon as he set up camp, he immediately adjusted his breath.

Just as Murong Feng was breathing, he suddenly felt a smell of meat in front of his nose. Murong Feng opened his eyes and saw Shi Xiu sitting down beside him with two pieces of roasted beast meat. Shi Xiu saw Murong Feng open his eyes, so he put the end of one of the branches strung with animal meat against Murong Feng, and after Murong Feng took the branch, Shi Xiu suddenly said, "Thank you." ”

"Everyone is the same door, and it is appropriate to help each other, but I don't know why you want this demon pill and tiger bone. Murong Feng asked.

Shi Xiu didn't answer Murong Feng's question, he just ate the beast meat by himself.

"If you don't want to say it, you won't say it, and I'm not the kind of curious person. Seeing that Shi Xiu didn't answer, Murong Feng gave himself a round and began to eat meat.

"To save my parents. Hearing Shi Xiu's words, Murong Feng put down the beast meat in his hand, only to see that Shi Xiu had already put the beast meat in his hand aside, staring at the fire in the distance and said.

"My family was not wealthy, and a few years after I was born, there was a sudden drought, and the grain harvest in the fields failed. So after hearing that I had a talent for cultivation, my parents gave me to a cultivator who was passing by my house. And that cultivator led me to the Guiyi Gate. ”

"You were picked up?" Murong Feng said as he looked at Shi Xiu, and then felt that his words were a little indecent, so he smiled apologetically at Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu didn't care about Murong Feng's words, and continued: "Our Guiyi Sect is just a small sect, and there are not many people who are willing to join the sect to become a registered disciple. ”

"The children I brought back that year, in addition to me, there was also Xiaoxiao and a person named Liu Nanchun. The three of us are all from a bitter background, because we were brought back, so we eat the least, do the most, and are not less bullied, I remember Xiaoxiao said at that time, I must earn enough money, live in the biggest house in the future, and eat the best things. ”

"Later, we built the foundation together and hunted together. It wasn't until he met One-Eye two years ago that Liu Nanchun died under One-Eye's mouth in order to save me and Xiaoxiao, and in the end he didn't even find the body. And after returning from the hunt, I also knew that my parents went into the mountains to collect medicine in order to supplement the family, but they fell into the cliff, and the bones of the two were shattered, leaving only half their lives. Speaking of this, Shi Xiu's voice trembled a little, and after a pause, he continued to choke and say.

"Fortunately, I have many brothers in my family, and my parents are not short of care, but because of the serious injury, I can only rely on the spiritual power in the spirit valley to maintain my life. For the sake of my parents, I gave up my qualifications to be promoted to outer disciples and looked around for ways to restore them. Until a few days ago, Sun Haoran, the most famous traveling doctor in the south, passed through my village and prescribed a prescription for my parents, but this medicine must be tiger bones and the elixir of five-grade demon beasts. ”
