Chapter 5: Chance Encounters
In the "Like Clouds" inn, Chu Bofan looked at the large bag of things on the table and laughed softly. I saw him take out a black-brown stone box from it, put it in front of him, and then gently lifted his sleeve robe, revealing the six-winged flying goose picture. After staring at it for a long time, Chu Bofan showed a smile on his face, stretched out his thumb and slowly wiped the totem, and the precious six-winged flying goose in Hu Kang's eyes slowly faded. After a while, Chu Bofan raised his right hand and looked at his smooth wrist, and fell into calm again.
After a long time, Chu Bofan put the black-brown stone box in the palm of his hand and said, "With you by your old ghost's side, there is a lot less trouble in doing things, but I am curious about how you made Hu Kang of the Wanbao Pavilion pay attention to me, and why did you make me tattoo the six-winged flying goose picture?" Chu Bofan was full of questions and couldn't wait to ask.
I saw a black light flash, and a fist-sized silver light flew out of the stone box, and on top of it was a strange beast the size of an inch with strange horns!
"Chu Doll, as the saying goes, Jiang is still old and spicy, the old man, as three thousand years ago, this Ten Thousand Demon Valley Lord of the Human World, Yin Xiaozi, invaded Hu Kang's sea of consciousness to obtain some useful information, and then affect his mind is just a matter of hand. The old man's triumphant voice came from mid-air.
When Chu Bofan heard this, he couldn't help but feel speechless for a while, how could he forget that this old boy was an immortal cultivator back then, and most of what he said was true. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a little more desire and ambition for immortal cultivators.
Chu Bofan paused, not paying attention to Yin Xiaozi, he poured all the things in the bag on the table, and looked through them one by one.
"Wanxing Sand, shaped like gravel, collected on a hundred-zhang high cliff, is a first-class demon beast -- the feces of the iron-toothed bird and its companion demon beast -- the corpse of the rodent insect after combining, in the dense environment of the fire spirit formed a metal refining material, and this Wanxing sand is full of red stars, presumably the iron-toothed bird is about to advance, well, this is an unexpected surprise. ”
Chu Bofan looked at the handful of white gravel in his hand, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he continued to look through the goods on the table.
"Jin Lan wood, iron gall flower, movie star grass. ”
After about half an hour, Chu Bofan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Half-leaved bamboo, apparently collected in a hurry before it blooms, the year is a little lacking, but it should be enough. However, the most important red ginseng has not lost its chain, and it only needs to be about 50 years old, but this red ginseng has been more than 100 years old. Chu Bofan looked at a red herb in his hand and said happily.
"With these things, I can also refine some self-defense things, let's make a seven-star arrow crossbow first, but this alone is still not enough, let that silver Xiao Zi refine some poison for me and smear it on the arrow." ”
As the sun sets, the last rays of the sun shine on the sky above Ludan City, reflecting on the various colored glazed roofs, reflecting scattered light, just like a fairyland on earth.
Chu Bofan didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of this exotic country, he had more important things to do at this time, that is, the whereabouts of the red-clothed guard he was looking for, and he found the fox demon by touching the melon.
I saw him dressed in black, sitting in the hall of the "Like a Cloud" inn, casually using dinner, his eyes looked at the passers-by from time to time, and a trace of impatience flashed on his face. But at this moment, a gray-robed man caught his attention, and after a little hesitation, he walked towards the door.
Sun Split is the small leader of the city, and since his parents died when he was a child, he learned early to survive in this difficult world. Forced to live, he joined the army at the age of fourteen, and by this time, he had been thirteen years, and he had been in the army, enduring hardships and flattery. Only then did he get the appreciation of a thousand-commander, and he married his righteous daughter to him, left and right, and promoted him, so that he could get the beauty of the leader of the city.
He looked up at the beautiful night scene of Ludan City, and remembered the flowery wife and five-year-old daughter at home, Sun Split couldn't help but involuntarily speed up his pace and strode in the direction of returning home.
Unbeknownst to him, a ghostly figure followed him like a shadow, walking the same path.
Time flew by, and after a quarter of an hour, Chu Bofan stopped in front of a house with two big red lanterns, and after looking around, he escaped into a secluded alley. When he came out, he had a black scarf over his face. After a slight pause, he took a few steps backwards behind him, and then climbed onto the roof of Sun's house with a somersault.
"Chu Doll, it seems that the old man is not mistaken, the breath of this fox demon is getting denser and denser here, and the trace of demonic energy that was originally on the body of the red-clothed soldier seems to be carried from here. In Chu Bofan's arms, Yin Xiaozi's voice came.
Chu Bofan didn't answer when he heard this, but silently lifted a piece of green tile and looked down.
In the room, Sun Split held his five-year-old daughter in his arms, singing nursery rhymes softly, and the girl in his arms laughed like silver bells from time to time. Next to Sun Lie was a beautiful woman in a red Luo skirt, laughing lowly.
Chu Bofan couldn't help but feel a colic in his heart, once upon a time, his family was also so harmonious, his father would always sternly hold a ruler and urge him to look at the thick ancient books, although they were strict, but they loved themselves very much, every night, a family of three would share the joy of family like this, and the mother always chuckled in a low voice. Chu Bofan couldn't help but be stupid. Two lines of clear tears slowly crossed the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this, Yin Xiao Zizi just remained silent and waited quietly for Chu Bofan.
After a long time, Chu Bofan covered the green tiles and asked Yin Xiaozi in an indescribable voice, "Where is the fox demon?"
"There is no fox demon here, but in that girl, the fox demon aura is the strongest. You. It's okay. ”
"It's okay, let's go. With that, he jumped off the roof.
The cold moon pass poured on Chu Bofan's body, for a long time, for a long time.
On the empty street, only Chu Bofan's elongated shadow was left, and the lonely back gradually disappeared into the depths of the cold street.
