Qianqiu immediately reined in his horse and watched the little monster striding his short legs behind him, trying hard to catch up. Seeing this, he couldn't bear it.
After a while, the little monster finally caught up, panting, and squatted not far away again looking at Qianqiu.
Qianqiu dismounted, walked over, picked up the little monster, and looked at its cute appearance, feeling a little unbearable: "Are you thinking of following me?"
The little monster nodded desperately.
Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, who smiled and said, "The little guy is destined to you. Brother Qian, why don't you take him with you. There's nothing wrong with the little guy, he just eats too much."
Qianqiu looked at the little monster, took out a contract talisman from his arms, and pointed it at it.
The strange thing is that there is no change in the contract talisman, and the little monster opens its mouth to bite.
"Hey, you can't eat this." Qianqiu took back the contract talisman and said to the little monster.
"Old Yang, it really likes to eat." Qianqiu smiled, hugged it and got on the horse.
Qianqiu originally wanted to hold it with one free hand, but who knew that the little monster struggled out and jumped on Xiaodao's head. His little head shook forward, seeming to tell Qianqiu to start.
"Hey, it's strange, the knife is not angry at all! If other things had made such a fuss about it, it would have gone crazy a long time ago." Qianqiu said while looking at the little monster and Yang Xian who were showing their teeth and claws.
Yang Xian smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the little guy isn't heavy."
"I see you are so dark and feel as slippery as cloth, so why don't I call you black cloth." Qianqiu looked at the little monster and said.
When the little monster heard this, he wiggled his ears and jumped up and down.
"Okay, assuming you agree, Heibu, let's go, Lao Yang." Qianqiu happily touched its head and set off again.
The knife ran very fast, but Hei Bu stood on it and did not waver at all, moving with the horse's body.
"Lao Yang, look, Heibu is really capable. He can actually ride a horse!" Qianqiu looked a little stunned.
Yang Xian said: "Everything has its foundation. No matter what, the more it adapts to you, the easier it will be for you. Brother Qian, the front is Vulcan County." After he finished speaking, he pointed towards something not far away.
Qianqiu looked along and saw the city wall not far ahead.
After a while, the two arrived at the gate of the city. Hanging high above the gate were three large gilded characters: "Vulcan County".
A large number of people gathered at the gate of the county town. People were coming and going on the official road. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were checking the people entering the county town one by one. They were released into the county town after confirming that there was no danger.
"Hey, you two boys, dismount and dismount!" An officer and soldier saw Qianqiu and Yang Xian riding over and pointed.
Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, and Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu. Neither of them knew who he was talking about, because there were several people riding horses next to them.
"Don't look, what are you looking at? There is money to pick up, what Grandma is talking about the two of you." The officers and men came to the two.
The officer and the soldier came closer and saw that he was not tall, with a long face and a long pointed nose. He looked at the two of them disdainfully with a slanted mouth. After comparing it again, he found that his official hat was different from that of other soldiers. He should be a small chief guarding the city. .
Qian Qiu and Yang first got off the horse. Yang Xian looked at the officers and soldiers politely and said: "This brother, don't know what happened?"
"What's the matter? You two guys don't look like good people. You are so mean-spirited. Who is your brother? Where are you from? What are you doing in Vulcan County? Tell me quickly." The officers and soldiers circled around Qianqiu and Yang Xian. He paused and looked at the two of them. Two officers and soldiers behind him saw their superior stopping him and followed him.
Qianqiu was caught in his heart, and said, "This official, we came from the deserted Shanghai city of the evil ghost state.
"Shut up! Is that what you called me?" A soldier from behind stepped forward and cursed, "This is our Master Yan, the Commander-in-Chief of the North City, Master Yan!" He raised his eyebrows, tilted his mouth, and spoke arrogantly, as if the world It was his general.
"Go and go." Yan Tongshi walked over and kicked the soldiers with one foot.
Qianqiu and Yang Xianxin said, who cares what your name is, we just want to enter the city.
Yan Yulong continued: "There is no good person for evil spirits, do you know? The robbers caught last month were from the villain. If you two want to enter the city, pay twenty -two margins to ensure you The two will not do anything bad. "
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu understood that Yan Tongsi wanted to get tolls because they were outsiders.
What Yang Xiangang wanted to say, Yan Yulong stared at: "Don't pay for a bargain, it's not a penny!"
Yang Xian heard this: "Yan Tongsi, do you need to pay a deposit to enter a city? I have never heard of it. It's convenient for you..."
"Shut up! I, Yan Youlong, a gentleman, say that a horse is hard to catch! I am upright and have a breeze on my sleeves! How can I give you this chance! Twenty taels is twenty taels. If you don't give it to me, get out of here." Yan Youlong turned around and left. .
At this time, a group of people ran out of the city. The leader was wearing a county magistrate's hat. He must be the magistrate of Vulcan County. He saw some people gathered here and came over immediately, saying: "What's going on?" thing?"
When Yan Youlong saw the county magistrate coming, he hurried over and replied respectfully: "Sir, two unruly people are causing trouble. I am about to drive them away."
A serious county magistrate looked at Qian Qiu and Yang Xian, who were standing in the distance, drove the horse over, and when he saw it, his expression changed, and he immediately took the horse and hurried to hold Yang Xian's hand: "Nephew Yang! Why are you here?"
Qianqiu watched it for a while, and the one was not only one of him. Yan Yulong and the soldiers under his hands were also stunned.
At a glance, Yang Xian looked at the person in front of him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Is it okay to make Zun's body? Since the last time, I am afraid of it for three years." Master Hu said excitedly.
Yang Xian nodded, and he was not excited and answered politely.
The two exchanged a few words, and then Yang Xian introduced Qianqiu to Mr. Hu: "Uncle, this is my good brother, Qianqiu."
Master Hu only glanced at Qianqiu, reached out and patted Qianqiu's shoulder symbolicly, and said with a smile: "Oh oh oh, Qian Gongzi, the instrument, the door tiger, the door tiger." After that, he He began to pull Yang Xian to continue talking about other things.
Qianqiu raised his hands, feeling helpless and funny, and said in his heart: "This Mr. Hu... he must have a full set of performances."
"Come on, prepare two upper rooms for the distinguished guests. You will stay in the county government office tonight, and we will attend the ceremony together in the evening." Master Hu called his men over and said to the two of them.
Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu and asked Master Hu: "Ritual? What ceremony?"
Lord Hu said: "The two nephews did not know. At the end of May today, Huoqian County will worship the god of Huo."
"Vulcan?" Qianqiu asked again.
"The phoenix bird that was born out of the fire. Haven't you heard of it?" This time it was Mr. Hu's turn to wonder, "It is the fire phoenix bird that our Vulcan County has enshrined for generations."
"Born out of the fire..." Qianqiu thought for a while, why he seemed to have heard this name before.
Yang on the side didn't take it to heart and nodded slightly.
The group then headed back home.
Qianqiu walked past Yan Tongsi, who was trembling and bent over, stopped, and asked with a smile: "Yan Tongsi, do you want another twenty taels?"
"Adults don't remember the faults of villains. What are you saying, Mr. Qian? You and Mr. Yang are very rich and noble people. You don't need twenty taels." Yan Tongsi smiled with a smile on his face.
Lord Hu on the side heard the dialogue between the two, staring at Yan Yulong and said, "You wait, see how I clean up you."
Everyone then entered Vulcan County.
Entering the county town, Qianqiu found that the streets and alleys here were very unique. Every household hung a puppet red phoenix bird at the door. There were also many small shops on the streets selling various small items related to phoenixes. The conspicuous is the bucket everywhere on the street, which is full of water. Presumably it is to prepare for the fire. It seems that people in this county love fire and fire, and they are afraid of fire.
After entering the county, Qianqiu returned to the room first, leaving Yang Xian and Master Hu to chat.
When he got off the horse, Black cloth liked to squat on Qianqiu's shoulder. Qianqiu felt that it was not heavy.
After returning to the room, Qianqiu poured two glasses of water, gave a cup of black cloth, drank another cup by himself. Suddenly, when he patted the table, he said to himself: "Rebirth of the fire, fire phoenix, shouldn't it be a master? The tenth-level fairy beast is said to be bathed in fire phoenix."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heibu, who was drinking water at the side, raised his head and looked at Qianqiu, and whined twice.
"Black cloth, you drink well." Qian Qiu thought it was a little bit stunned, and then touched it.
After a while, the black cloth drank some water and fell asleep on the table.
Qianqiu looked at the little guy and shook his head helplessly: "You eat and drink, and then sleep after drinking."
He took the black cloth aside, covered him with some quilt, and went out to look for Mr. Yang. It was not too late now, so he wanted to go out for a walk and buy some food to eat on the way tomorrow.
When I walked to the main hall of the county government office, I happened to meet Yang Xian walking out of the inner room.
"Lao Yang, have you finished chatting?" Qian Qiu asked Yang Xian, who looked tired.
Yang wiped his sweat first and then gave himself a slap on the back: "Master Hu is so good at talking. I am exhausted, and he still wants to continue talking to me."
Qianqiu smiled: "Lao Yang, it seems that your father is very powerful. When Mr. Hu saw you, he couldn't wait to stick to you."
Yang Xian smiled bitterly: "Brother Qian, you are joking. My father is a fourth-rank official and is just an ordinary official in charge of food and grass in the Holy Capital."
"Fourth rank? Isn't this considered a high official?" Qianqiu said in surprise.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Qian, what do you want to do when you come out?" Yang Xian asked.
Qianqiu took out Qiankun's bag and shook Yang Xian: "Isn't this looking for you? Pull you to buy some food on the street. Our reserves have been eaten by black cloth."
"Let's go, I happen to be a little hungry." The two hit it off and immediately left the county government office and entered the main street.
On the street, the two of them talked while shopping.
Qianqiu asked first: "Lao Yang, do you know about Yuhuo Phoenix?"
"Fire Phoenix? I don't know much about it. I remember my husband once mentioned it when I was young. It seems to be a high-level spiritual beast." Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu thought that even a capable person like Mr. Yang didn't know the situation of Yuhuo Feng, which meant that few people knew about the top ten immortal monsters. Then he thought about it, but the master knew so much about the immortal monsters. How could she know so much?
"Old Yang, have you ever heard of the ten most powerful immortal and demonic beasts in the world?" Qianqiu raised his eyebrows at Yang Xian and said.
