Lu Jing and the others rushed to the valley in the back mountain, and they heard the chirping of birds a few miles away.
The nightingale has always been known for its elegant singing voice among all birds, and its calls are ethereal and changeable, fresh and spacious.
Coupled with the sound of gurgling water in the river valley, it can't help but make people feel refreshed.
Even Yang Tao, who had been having bad luck recently, felt much better after hearing the birdsong.
The three of them involuntarily quickened their pace, and soon saw Uncle Chen beside a large rock in front of the entrance to the valley.
Uncle Chen was now surrounded by many newcomers from the academy, all of whom were here to pick messengers. Yang Tao greeted them familiarly.
There are also many people who are secretly looking at Lu Jing and Xia Huai. The academy has not officially started classes, but both of them are already very famous. Needless to say, Lu Jing, Xia Huai has also alerted Guo Shaojian's secret power cultivation genius, and about There were a lot of rumors between the two during this time.
This made many young heroes who secretly admired this junior sister of Xijiang Pavilion feel sad.
As the freshmen surrounding Uncle Chen dispersed, it was soon the turn of Lu Jing and the others.
Uncle Chen took out three packages of dried scarab beetles and handed them into the hands of the three people. Then he took out three small pills and warned them.
"After entering, it's not just you who are choosing the messenger, but the messenger is also choosing you, so remember not to use force. Scarab is asking you to make good friends with the messenger.
"If both parties are satisfied, feed it the pill, then bite your finger and press it anywhere on the messenger's body. After that, you will be able to communicate with each other, and it will fly wherever you want it to fly.
"I say it again, don't use force, otherwise even if you get the messenger, it won't be obedient."
Hearing this, Yang Tao couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute, what if we run out of scarab beetles and still can't find the messenger?"
"Then come back tomorrow."
"What if I don't find it tomorrow?"
"This kind of situation is rare." Uncle Chen glanced at Yang Tao, "There are tens of thousands of nightingales in this valley, and there are all kinds of nightingales. There will always be one that can only catch your eye. If you can't stand it for two days, If you don’t pick it up, you have to examine yourself to see if there is something wrong with you.”
"Mainly, I haven't been very lucky recently. Even drinking cold water makes my teeth clogged." Yang Tao smiled bitterly.
"If this really happens, there will be a teacher who will help you choose the most docile nightingale, and then use magic to make it your messenger. However, in this case, the messenger's obedience will be slightly worse than the one you choose, but still It’s not much different.” Uncle Chen comforted.
The three of them got the dried beetles, put away the pills, and headed into the valley.
Along the way, the trees were densely shaded and the stream was clear. The morning light was cut into tiny pieces by the leaves and scattered on the water, shining with scales and ripples.
However, Yang Tao didn't have much time to appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment. His attention was basically focused on the branches and shrubs, looking at the nightingales perched there, as nervously as if he was choosing a wife.
Although they had just entered the valley not long ago, someone had already chosen a messenger.
That was a female disciple from Yunshui Jingci Pavilion,
She fed a gray-yellow nightingale and swallowed the pill, then gently pressed a little red color on the belly of the nightingale, and then the nightingale jumped on her shoulder.
And the female disciple of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion also happily fed her messenger and finished the remaining half pack of dried scarab beetles.
When Yang Tao saw this, he wanted to open his bag of dried scarab beetles, but when he reached halfway, he felt that he had just entered the valley not long ago and should walk further inside.
There are many people who have the same idea as him. After all, the number of scarab beetles is limited, and there is only one pill. Although no one has said that the nightingale that goes inside is better than the one outside, most people want more. Wait and see.
So the three of them continued to walk forward, and after walking for about two miles, they saw a dozen people gathered under an acacia tree not far away, holding up dried scarab beetles in their hands, vying to tease one on the branch. nightingale.
Just by looking at the nightingale's appearance, Lu Jing knew why this group of people were so enthusiastic.
Because the color of the nightingale's fur is very special, it is actually pure red, without a trace of color all over its body. The red bean standing on the acacia tree looks like a burning flame.
It was in sharp contrast to the other nightingales around him.
No wonder they are targeted by so many new students. After all, young people, who doesn’t want their messenger to be different?
It's just that the red nightingale, faced with so many feeds coming to the door, still held its head high, as if it was unmoved.
And its proud look not only did not make the people under the tree give up, but instead made them even more excited.
Everyone has the idea of getting this kind of nightingale to use as a messenger. After all, this bird looks so handsome. With this bird, even if you try to strike up a conversation with the girl you like, your success rate will be greatly improved. few.
After all, if you go directly to ask a girl out, you are likely to fail, but if you tell the girl you love, do you want to go to my room to watch the flying red fireworks, few girls can refuse.
Like the teenagers under the tree, Yang Tao and Xia Huai were fascinated by the nightingale after just one glance. They quickly took out the small cloth bag containing the dried scarab beetle.
However, Lu Jing hesitated but did not move.
He also thought the nightingale on the acacia tree was very handsome, but he still chose a messenger based on practicality. After all, he would rely on messengers to deliver messages in the future.
If the courier's appearance is too conspicuous, it will be unattractive, and it will easily be targeted by others, or even hunted by raptors in the wild. In contrast, Lu Jing still prefers couriers who are low-key but fly fast.
As for the advantage in front of the opposite sex... Who knows that he has a latent physique, his love luck is already strong enough, there is no need to rely on birds to attract marriage.
Seeing two more competitors coming, the teenagers under the tree were obviously more anxious. Some even couldn't help but use Qinggong and jumped up to the acacia tree, closer to the red nightingale.
However, when he put the dried scarab beetle to the mouth of the red nightingale, the bird not only did not eat it, but spread its wings and wanted to fly.
The people under the tree were dissatisfied and shouted, "Wen Erlang, don't scare this bird away!"
The young man named Wen Erlang had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this. Before he could open his mouth to argue, he saw that the red nightingale actually took off.
Now everyone was in a hurry, and they each used light skills to catch up with the bird. Of course, they all remembered Uncle Chen's instructions, and they only chased the bird and did not intercept it.
However, the red nightingale obviously didn't know their true thoughts. Seeing a group of people rushing toward it, it became a little anxious.
At this time, only three people were still under the tree.
