Chapter 1 Long-eared civet
"Someone has uncovered the notice!"
The originally calm streets and alleys of Glowing City exploded.
"Uncover the notice?" An uninformed person asked the person next to him, "What kind of notice?"
"You're an out-of-towner. The person next to him sneered and explained, "Of course, it's a notice to search for spirit beasts." Three months ago, the head of the Hanyu Sect, Ying Si Xianren, drove the crane west, and his daughter Xuyang Fairy temporarily took the position of the head of the family, but the long-eared civet cat that Ying Si Xian was very favored before his life also disappeared at the same time.
The monks of the Cold Jade Gate quickly dispatched and turned over all the horns within a hundred miles of the Glowing City, but they were stunned and couldn't find it.
Two months ago, a woodcutter found traces of a long-eared civet on a mountain eighty miles outside the city. The people of the Hanyumen immediately dispatched, but unfortunately they still pounced.
In desperation, Hanyumen posted a notice, promising that as long as someone can find the long-eared spirit cat, regardless of the other party's qualifications, they will be directly accepted as a personal disciple.
It's okay if you don't want to be a personal disciple, the notice of the Hanyumen is very clear, as long as you find the spirit cat, the personal disciple, thirty spirit stones, and equivalent property, you can choose one. ”
"Disciple!" the man exclaimed, "Fake, right?"
Everyone knows that if you are a disciple and have a respected status, you can not only have cultivation resources that ordinary disciples don't have, but you can also be vigorously cultivated by the sect.
As one of the twelve major sects officially certified by Qingshan Mansion, the treatment of the disciples of Hanyumen is naturally much better than that of ordinary sects.
The treatment of finding a cat and giving it to a disciple doesn't seem to be true no matter how you look at it.
"You think civets are so easy to find. The person next to him said with disdain: "Don't say it's you, I don't know how many monks in the entire Qingshan Mansion have come to look for it, let alone find the civet cat, even the trace of the civet cat has not been found." I'm not going to talk to you, I'm going to see the fun. ”
The man broke free from his entanglement, shouted, and ran toward the gate of the city.
At the gate of the city, the place where the notice was posted had long been surrounded and impassable.
In the middle of the circle, a young man dressed in animal skins held a notice in his hand, like a lamb surrounded by a pack of wolves.
This young man is sixteen or seventeen years old, and his body bones look very strong, if nothing else, he should be a hunter.
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, chaos began to appear on the periphery, and the crowd was pushed aside and someone came in.
The sharp-eyed man was surprised: "The girl in pink is one of the two personal maids of the Sunrise Fairy, but I didn't expect her to come in person." ”
The beast-skinned boy also looked intently, but at this time, a voice appeared directly in his mind: "Warning, the system prompts that seven monks will appear again within a hundred meters of the host, including one in the late stage of Qi cultivation and six in the early stage of Qi training." ”
The fur boy was stunned, and a green interface like a radar appeared in his mind, and on top of that interface, seven more points of light of different strengths were added.
"This system is a little sluggish!"
The young man couldn't help complaining, his name was Zhou Teng, he was originally from the earth, and a month ago, he came to this world by chance and became a hunter in Zhoujia Village, a hundred miles outside Yingfu City.
And the prompt voice in his head was the system he obtained after coming to this world, which was called the spiritual power WiFi system.
This system can not only sense all the creatures with spiritual power around him, but also automatically image and identify the characteristics and strength of these creatures, just like searching for hotspots on mobile phone WiFi.
It's a pity that he can only automatically sense a radius of 100 meters around him now. If he really becomes a monk, the range of automatic sensing can be expanded, and if there is a spirit stone, he can actively search, then the range of sensing can be increased tenfold.
Moreover, as far as he knew, the monks of this world did not have any powerful divine sense and the ability to think a thousand miles like the one mentioned in the novel.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It's right to think about it, if those monks had divine consciousness and spiritual sense, the civet would have found it a long time ago.
After settling down, Zhou Teng looked at the girl named Xiu'er.
The girl doesn't look big, she is in her cardamom years, her complexion is delicate, and she is as white as a porcelain doll, and she looks petite and cute against the backdrop of a pink skirt and shirt.
But Zhou Teng didn't dare to despise it, the system showed that this girl was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.
While he looked at Xiu'er, Xiu'er was also looking at him, and asked in a voice like a hundred spirits, "Who are you?"
"Boy Zhou Teng, I've seen a fairy. ”
His current identity is just a hunter, so naturally he has to speak in the same way as a hunter who has never seen the world.
"Fairy?" Xiu'er Wan'er, after realizing that she was out of shape, said: "Don't be polite, just call me Xiu'er." ”
Zhou Tengyi shouted: "I've seen Miss Xiu'er." ”
Xiu'er nodded and asked, "Are you really sure you can find the spirit beast?"
Zhou Teng bowed his head and replied, "As long as you tell me the approximate location of the lost spirit beast, I will be fifty percent sure." ”
Xiu'er Lian moved lightly, looked around Zhou Teng carefully, and reminded: "Spirit beasts are not comparable to ordinary beasts, and your hunting methods may not work." ”
The onlookers also had this idea, and there was a boo, the spirit beast is a demon beast with spiritual intelligence, and its intelligence is no worse than that of humans, so it is not easy to find.
"The kid understands. ”
Zhou Teng explained again: "My ancestors have always been hunters, and the hunting and tracing methods are also different from ordinary hunters. ”
At this point, he didn't lie, almost all the people in Zhoujia Village hunt for a living, and they are even more familiar with the art of tracking, but his methods are more labor-saving and accurate.
Hearing him say this, Xiu'er nodded lightly.
In the past few days, all the methods that should be used have been used, and all the places that should be found have been searched, but they can't find it, so it doesn't hurt to let him try.
As soon as he gestured to the Hanyumen disciples beside him, Xiu'er Yu stepped a little, went up to the roof on the side, and then swept towards the city gate like a dragonfly.
The two disciples stepped forward, one left and the other right, holding Zhou Teng's arm, and swept out.
"This is the monk!"
Listening to the whistling sound in his ears, Zhou Teng couldn't help but be fascinated, especially when he saw the pink-clothed figure in front of him, which was even more pleasing to the eye.
He knew that this was not flying, it was gliding, just like a martial arts master, he needed to borrow strength to sweep a long distance.
The group soon left the city, grasslands and streams, mountains and rivers, and forests, as if walking on flat ground, flying directly past.
In this way, it took about half an hour, to the foot of a mountain, Xiu'er did not stop, the shadow of a longitudinal, like a pink butterfly rising into the air, tapping the tip of the tree, the tip of the tree bent by the force, and when it bounced back, the fairy shadow had already swept towards the top of the mountain.
The other disciples did not cultivate enough, so they could only carry Zhou Teng to fly between the mountains and thorns.
When they arrived, Xiu'er was already standing on the top of the mountain, the breeze blowing, and the green silk was flying, like a fairy descending to earth.
Seeing that Zhou Teng had arrived, Xiu'er opened lightly: "The last location where the civet cat was found was here, but that was two months ago. ”
Since the traces of the civet cat were found here, not only the people of Hanyumen, but others have turned over here, but they have not found it.
Zhou Teng looked around, and saw that the mountains overlapped and the veins were continuous, and he frowned slightly, the environment was more complicated than he imagined. And after so much time, I don't know if the spirit beast has fled to other places.
Not in a hurry to look for it, he turned his head and asked, "Miss Xiu'er, dare to ask what this long-eared civet usually eats, or what kind of environment does it like to stay in?"
"Why do you ask?" Xiu'er wondered.
Zhou Teng explained: "That's right, the habits of animals have their own laws, and we hunters generally look for wild beasts according to these hidden laws. ”
When the monks heard this, they suddenly realized.
Xiu'er's eyes flashed, and she had a little more expectation for Zhou Teng, and replied: "The long-eared civet cat is different from ordinary spirit animals, although it does not eat meat, its appetite is extremely picky, it only likes to eat some fresh rhizomes and some young leaves and green shoots, and it likes to stay in the shade on weekdays and rarely moves." ”
Zhou Teng's jaw was headed, and he knew it in his heart. But there is still a problem, he is just a mortal, such a large mountain range, walking on his legs, I don't know how long, so I asked again: "Miss Xiu'er, can you please take me to fly between the mountains like just now." ”
"This ......"
Xiu'er was a little embarrassed, but except for her, no one else here had this ability at all, and seeing Zhou Teng's serious appearance, she didn't bother anymore and nodded: "Okay." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the vast mountain range, and asked a little old-fashioned: "Little brother, you are a tracking expert, so where do we start to find it?"
"Little brother?" Zhou Teng was speechless in his heart, too lazy to complain, and after a slight groan, he said: "Since the long-eared civet likes to eat fresh tubers and loves shady places, if it is really in this mountain range, it will definitely find a place to hide in the shade."
In the shade, the light is insufficient, the moisture is moist, and it is most suitable for the growth of wild mushrooms and ferns. ”
Zhou Teng has lived in the countryside for a long time, and he still understands this common sense.
"Makes sense!" Xiu'er's big eyes flashed, eager to try.
Without delay, he instructed the other disciples to follow, and he carried Zhou Teng in one hand, and with a shake of his body, he jumped down from the top of the mountain, stepped on the treetops several times, glided like an eagle falcon, and landed on a shady mountainside.
As soon as he landed, Zhou Teng leaned down, pretended to twist the soil to look at it, sniffed it again, and then leaned on the ground and listened.
In fact, the system was used to search for a range of 100 meters around, but except for Xiu'er around him, the system did not sense the existence of other spiritual creatures.
After standing up again, he shook his head at Xiu'er.
Xiu'er didn't talk nonsense, and carried him again to fly between the mountains.
Time passed little by little, from the beginning of the relaxed freehand, but after searching dozens of mountains, Xiu'er Feng's eyebrows furrowed, her breathing was a little short, and her whole body was drenched in sweat.
The spiritual power on the monk's body is not unlimited, and if you use up one point, you have to replenish it, if you don't use the spirit stone, if you want to replenish the spiritual power consumed, the whole process will be very long.
And at this moment, at least half of the spiritual power on her body has been consumed, and if it drags on, it will take at least a few days to recover.
Zhou Teng was also a little embarrassed, and the fragrance on Xiu'er's body was sent by the breeze from time to time, making him restrained. He was even more anxious, if he couldn't find the spirit beast, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to enter the Hanyu Gate.
In this world, without the blessing of the immortal cultivation forces, it must be much more difficult to cultivate immortals by yourself.
"Warning, alert the host that there is a creature with spiritual power in front of it, and its strength is unknown. ”
When they fell to the ground again, the system suddenly reminded that a small spot of light flashed in front of the search map in Zhou Teng's mind.
"Found it!"
Zhou Teng was ecstatic, but he was silent on the surface, twisted a handful of soil and smelled it as before, and listened to it on the ground. Secretly observing the point of light, the image of the magnified interface is indeed a cat-like creature.
"Did you find anything?"
Xiu'er saw that he had been on this mountain for a lot longer than other mountains, so she couldn't help asking.
"It's a bit of an eyebrow. Zhou Teng made up a reason: "This mountain obviously has the smell of alien creatures, I don't know if it's the long-eared civet you are looking for." ”
"Can this smell too?" Xiu'er was stunned, a little skeptical.
The valley, the stream is quiet, and the ancient trees cover the sun on both sides, and from the top of the mountain, it is impossible to find that there is no cave here.
Xiu'er carried Zhou Teng and floated over, and after landing on the ground, she asked, "Where is the civet cat?"
"In front. ”
Zhou Teng pointed to the depths of the valley and took the lead in going inside, and Xiu'er immediately followed.
The search for the location of Tuna's point of light was finally fixed in the deepest part of the valley, where at the end was a pool of turquoise springs.
A long-eared cat-like spirit beast was lying on a boulder of the spring, stretching its waist lazily.
As soon as the two approached, the civet sat up alertly, staring at the path ahead with blazing eyes.
"It's really there!"
Xiu'er saw the long-eared civet next to the spring at a glance, and immediately cheered.
When the long-eared civet saw Xiu'er, it lay back again, with some disdain in its eyes, it was obvious that it knew Xiu'er.
But soon, it stood up again, its whole body arched, its pupils widened, and it looked at Zhou Teng who had just walked in disbelief.
"Don't come here. ”
Xiu'er waved her hand at Zhou Teng and reminded: "This cat doesn't like strangers the most, don't be scared away by you anymore." ”
But soon Xiu'er was slapped in the face.
The long-eared civet stared at Zhou Teng for a while, then opened its paws, walked with cat steps, and came to his feet. Sniffed tentatively, meowed a few times, and rubbed Zhou Teng's legs affectionately, and kept circling him.
"This ......"
Xiu'er was a little dumbfounded, this long-eared civet cat was difficult to get close to even her and Shizhen except for the Rising Sun Fairy, how could she be so intimate with a mortal.
Hanyu Peak.
The clouds are misty, the strange rocks are craggy, the hanging springs and waterfalls, the deer chirp and the cranes chirp, and the pavilions and pavilions dot the mountains, just like a picture of the blessed land of the fairy cave.
The peak is surrounded by deep clouds and mist, and a huge bluestone stands out and hangs in the air.
On the boulder, a girl in white stood with her eyes on the sea of clouds, clear and beautiful, her shirt fluttering, and her clothes fluttering, she was the acting head of the Hanyumen, the Xuyang Fairy.
