When Qianqiu heard this, his heart sank a little, and he felt a sense of loss. Then he asked, "Where did she go?"
"I don't know. This is what the waiter told me. Maybe he doesn't want to go with us." It was obvious that Yang Xian was a little disappointed.
Yang Xian was disappointed not because of anything, but because he felt a little lonely because he was missing a partner.
"Tell me, did she leave because I kept talking about her?" Qianqiu also sat down and looked at Yang Xian in front of him and said.
"I don't know either. In fact, this girl is so talkative. That day we were chased by Sun Ruoqi on the street. She was afraid of our safety and rushed over regardless of the danger. After you disappeared, although she didn't show much anxiety, I could tell When she came out, she was more anxious than me. Brother Qian, if you meet another girl again in the future, don't irritate her anymore. Although I also think she has a secret, I don't think it is for us." Yang Xian said.
After listening to Yang Xian's words, Qianqiu felt a little guilty. Ever since the incident at the small tea stall, he had indeed become somewhat prejudiced against Bieling's character. Looking back on the past two days, he felt that he had gone too far.
Regarding this aspect of the nature of the matter, he is not as clear-eyed as Yang Xian.
At this moment, the wooden ladder made a clanging sound, and a person came down from the upstairs. When the two of them saw it, it was none other than your noble son, Yu Wenhua.
Today he changed into a white gown, tied up his hair in a bun, carried his baggage, and walked out without looking back.
Qianqiu saw him get on his horse and gradually walk away. He turned around and said to Yang Xian: "What a coincidence, that kid is gone too."
"Brother Qian, let's go on the road. I asked the waiter to prepare a lot of food. I shouldn't be hungry on the way." Yang Xian said.
"Okay, put them all into my Qiankun bag first!" Qianqiu thought to himself after hearing this, "This old Yang is really a person who lives his life, he is so considerate!"
With the dust flying, Qianqiu and Yang Xian left Huanghu City and rushed to Dongfang Sect.
To the east of Huanghu City is the Holy Capital, and Dongfang Mountain, where the Oriental Sect is located, happens to form a triangle with these two main cities.
The two places are thousands of miles apart, so it does take some time to travel.
"Brother Qian, we must arrive at the Eastern Sect before the sixth day of the sixth lunar month to participate in the entrance test." Yang Xian said to Qianqiu while riding his horse.
Qianqiu said: "That's not too late."
Climbing over high mountains and crossing large and small rivers and lakes, the beautiful scenery along the way is constant. Qianqiu can take some time to appreciate these great rivers and mountains.
【Butian Valley】
On this day, the two entered a small valley, surrounded by trees, and only a trail in the middle could pass through.
"Brother Qian, there is a hillside ahead. Let's find a place to rest. My horse is not your knife. It is very tired." Yang Xian suggested.
Qianqiu glanced at Yang Xian and then looked forward: "Old Yang, let's go there to have a rest and eat something." He pointed to a rock. There were no fallen leaves accumulation there, and the mountain wind blew the rock clean.
"Yeah, okay." Yang agreed first.
The two got off their horses. Yang first found some food for the two horses. When he came back, he saw that Qianqiu had put out the food.
"Lao Yang, try this. The chicken drumsticks I got from the back kitchen of the inn yesterday were so delicious!" Qianqiu greeted Yang Xian while grabbing a chicken drumstick to chew on.
Yang Xian wiped the sweat on his body, walked over, took a smile and said, "Although it is cold, it is still very fragrant!"
"Cold? Let me find some firewood, let's bake it!" Qian Qiu's proposal.
Yang Xian nodded and agreed.
Qianqiu wandered through several paths and finally got into the woods.
As he walked and picked up a few branches while walking, he found that he was very humid.
"It seems that it rained here two days ago, and the sun can't shine. If you pick up such branches, you won't be able to make a fire." Qianqiu wondered.
Unknowingly, Qianqiu walked some distance away, and while he was looking for dry firewood in the forest, he suddenly heard a voice, chirping like a child's voice.
The sound came from a small bush. Qianqiu felt for the grass and looked for it. He thought to himself that someone must have left the child here, but he looked around and saw that there was no road here at all. The barren mountain Wild Ridge, who will leave the child here.
Qianqiu carefully opened the bushes in front of him and found that a little monster was lying inside, not a child.
The little monster is not big, about the same size as an ordinary puppy. It is completely black, except for its eyes, which are slightly white. The round eyes are like gems inlaid on the uneven face. If you look closely at it, you will see long and short hair all over it. Because the black stripes are black, the stripes are only different in color, and they can't see it without looking carefully.
It seemed to have eaten something. It kept hitting its throat with its front legs, chirping and rolling all over the ground.
"It's so ugly, what is this?" Qianqiu thought the little monster was very ugly when he first saw it, and couldn't help but think to himself.
After exploring, the little monster does not have aura, it should not be a spirit beast, but it doesn't look like ordinary animals.
Qianqiu looked at the little monster and found that it kept rolling, so he didn't care about the ugly thing and reached out to hug it, wanting to help it.
At this moment, the little monster saw Qianqiu, hurriedly stood up, and stepped back a few steps. He looked at Qianqiu with his teeth, and his throat was still drumming. It should still be uncomfortable.
"Oh, I want to help you, what are you hiding?" Qian Qiu looked at the little monster.
The little monster was so uncomfortable that he didn't care about Qianqiu and just went to mess with his own neck.
Qianqiu quickly picked it up with quick eyes and hands. When he touched its throat, he found a round object. Then he patted it hard and the round object actually went down the throat.
The little monster broke away, and he kept turning in place, and he screamed a few times towards Qianqiu from time to time.
"You won't want to spit it out ..." Qian Qiu looked at the little monster embarrassed, and his belly shone, and he felt that he seemed to understand it wrong.
But soon, the little monster stopped barking and just stood there, eyes wide open, staring at Qianqiu blankly.
When Qianqiu saw that the little guy was okay, he looked at the firewood in his hand. He said that he should be enough, so he said to the little monster, "Since you are okay, then I am gone, you are careful."
He stood up and left. Before leaving, he took a look at the little monster and found that the little guy was still standing blankly looking at him. He turned around with relief and found his way back.
"Old Yang, I'm back!" Qianqiu walked out of the woods holding a small bundle of dry firewood and shouted happily to Yang Xian not far away.
Yang Xian had already picked up a few stones and built a platform on the big rock. He was waiting for Qianqiu to come back.
"Thousand brothers ..." Yang Xian saw Qianqiu coming over and agreed, but then stopped his mouth. He saw a black puppy that followed Qianqiu, but if he looked closely, he didn't look at it. Like a dog.
When Qianqiu approached, Yang Xian took the firewood and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qian, did you pick up a puppy?"
When Qian Qiu heard it, looking back, it turned out that the little monster followed.
He squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand, and called the little monster over: "Can't you find the way? Why are you following me?"
The little monster hesitated for a while at first, then slowly walked over, squatted not far away and looked at Qianqiu.
When Qianqiu saw that the little guy was still a little shy, he stood up and said to Yang Xian: "I met it when I was collecting firewood. It choked on food, so I helped it. Old Yang, what kind of animal is this? ,do you know?"
Yang Xian looked at it for a long time and shook his head: "I have to forgive my ignorance. I have never seen such an animal."
When Qianqiu heard that Yang Xian didn't recognize it, he didn't care anymore and started grilling meat with Yang Xian.
After roasting for a while, the aroma of the meat wafted up, and the golden meat pieces were sizzling with oil. Qianqiu sprinkled some chili powder on top, making the meat pieces even more attractive.
Qianqiu picked up a skewer of meat, blew on it, smelled it again, took a careful bite, and then rolled the meat back and forth in his mouth: "It's so hot, so hot, but it's so fragrant."
Although he shouted, he smiled, and the meat tasted very good.
At this time, the little monster saw Qianqiu eating meat, sticking out his tongue, and opened his eyes even wider.
Qianqiu saw it at a glance, and said to Yang Xian: "I think it is a relatively rare dog, hahaha." After saying that, he walked over with the meat skewers, broke off a small piece, and fed it to the little monster.
The little monster looked at it, swallowed it hurriedly, and quickly looked at the meat in Qianqiu's hand.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you. I quite like it." Qianqiu smiled and put the rest of the meat into the little monster's mouth.
After Qianqiu finished giving it, he was ready to go back and get a new bunch.
The little monster also followed, wagging its tail.
"Do you still want to eat?" Qianqiu looked back and saw it following again.
The little monster seemed to understand, nodded desperately.
Qianqiu then took another bunch, blew it, gave it to it, and said: "Eat slowly."
Yang Xian watched Qianqiu feeding the little monster, and also took a piece to feed it, but the little monster didn't appreciate it and didn't even look at the meat that Yang Xian handed over.
"Brother Qian, it seems that this little guy likes you very much. Even if I feed him, he won't eat." Yang Xian also smiled.
Qianqiu looked at the little monster and gently touched its head. The little monster ate the meat, squinting its eyes and shaking its head, seeming to enjoy it.
When the meat was almost done, the two dismantled the table, put out the fire with water, and sat for a while.
Qianqiu squatted and looked at the little monster carefully, and found that it looked really strange. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find an animal that matched it.
"Brother Qian, we have to set off. We have to get to the next village or city before dark so that we can avoid sleeping in the mountains overnight." Yang Xian opened the map and looked at it and said to Qianqiu.
Qianqiu asked: "Where are we now?"
"We just left the Evil Ghost State. This place should be... Butian Valley." Yang looked at it first and replied.
"Bu Tian Valley?" Qianqiu asked.
"It is said that the place where Nuwa cultivated the Sky-Mending Stone, hence the name. However, it is probably just a local legend. It is half true and half false. No one can say for sure."
Qianqiu looked around and said: "I see that the Butian Valley is located at the junction of the Good God State and the Evil Ghost State. It has plenty of spiritual energy. There should be many spiritual beasts. Maybe this little guy is a spiritual beast cub."
"Brother Qian, don't think so much. I think this little guy is a strange ordinary animal, and there is no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body." Yang Xian said.
"That's right. Little guy, you have eaten and drank enough. We are leaving, so be careful." Qianqiu touched the little monster's head and said.
The little monster looked at Qianqiu and stood still.
"Let's go!" Qianqiu urged the knife.
The dust was flying and the two were on the road again.
Yang Xian accidentally looked back and said to Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, it's following."
