There was silence in the cave.
No response.
Only the chirping of insects and birds in the surrounding mountains and forests made the mountains and forests even more peaceful during the day.
"what happened?"
I frowned slightly.
"Did we encounter any danger? It's impossible!"
"With Bai Su's tyrannical demonic energy... Even if she is a rabbit, even if her strength is catalyzed by the mysterious black plant at the bottom of the river, her fighting awareness and skills are weak. But there should be nothing in this forest that dares Did you take the initiative to provoke her?"
Various thoughts flashed through my mind, and I shouted a few more times.
There was still no response from the cave.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth, lift up the vines at the door and walk in.
Of course, just in case, I already had a talisman in my hand.
Once there is a situation, attack and exit the cave immediately...
Fortunately, there is no danger.
After I walked into the cave, I found that although it was empty, Bai Su and Hui Hui were not there. But there were no signs of fighting around.
Just when he was wondering, there was a rustling sound from the entrance of the cave.
"Is something coming?"
I was startled and became alert again.
Look back.
I saw the vines hanging down like a curtain at the entrance of the cave swaying a few times, and a huge white rabbit jumped in. There is also a gray fox on his back.
The fox's two paws are still holding a pile of herbs like a human.
Isn’t this exactly Bai Su and Hui Hui!
When they saw me, they were slightly startled.
Then Hui Hui on Bai Su's back immediately squeaked excitedly, jumped directly to the ground, and placed the herbs held in his two paws on the ground.
The man stood up, waving his two little paws and gesturing towards me.
And in my mind, a little boy's voice also sounded.
"Brother Wu, have you come to see me and Sister Susu? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much."
I reached out and rubbed its furry head and smiled in response.
"Then did you listen carefully to your sister Su Su's words? Don't go out and run around, and practice in the cave."
Hui Hui nodded vigorously, indicating that he listened to his sister's words.
"Hello, Mr. Wu."
Bai Su also greeted me.
While I nodded with a smile, I also looked at her belly and hind legs.
The long and narrow wound has basically healed, and there are even new granulations on the edge of the wound, and fine hairs have begun to grow on the surface...
I feel a little emotional.
"The recovery ability of a monster at your level is really amazing. For such a serious injury, the wound was rotten and inflamed before. After cleaning it, it actually took a few days to recover to this point."
As I said that, I shrugged pretending to be a little frustrated.
"Well, it seems that the remaining anti-inflammatory drugs I brought specifically for you are of no use."
"Mr. Wu, don't say that. I'm really touched that you can think of me so much. Bai Su really doesn't know how to repay your kindness and care."
The big white rabbit also stood up like a human, putting its two big furry paws together one behind the other. He actually performed a human salute.
I smiled and waved my hand: "I'm just kidding. It's a good thing that you can heal yourself so quickly. It's better if you don't need anti-inflammatory drugs."
At the same time, I felt happy.
It's such a bargain to be able to owe such a powerful monster such a huge favor!
Even though her combat power may be weak and inconsistent with her actual realm, she is still much more powerful than ordinary monsters...
"Brother Wu, Sister Susu and I just went out to collect herbs. We found some precious herbs. Do you need them? Take whatever you like!"
Huihui pointed at a pile of herbs on the ground, standing like a human with his two little paws on his waist. Said very generously.
I laughed.
Continue to smile and caress the dog's head...oh no, it's the fox's head.
He said: "No need Huihui, I don't know herbal medicine myself. I took the precious herbs you and Miss Bai gave me last time and gave them to my parents. I don't need them yet."
But Bai Su next to me held a few herbs in her mouth, put them in my hand, and said at the same time.
"This is seven-leaf chicken heart grass. It can quickly stop bleeding and eliminate swelling and pain. It also has the effect of removing some corpse poisons and ghost poisons. Mr. Wu, you can take some with you."
When I heard it, I felt that the effect of this thing was really useful!
So I accepted it.
"Then, I would like to thank Miss Bai for her kindness. How should I take it?"
"It's very simple, just eat it. Just now, Mr. Wu, you said that you don't know much about herbal medicine, so this kind of seven-leaf chicken heart grass is the easiest to take and the most useful to you."
I have to say that this rabbit demon Bai Su is still a thoughtful and considerate person... Oh no, you monster!
Since the anti-inflammatories were of no use to her, I took out some snacks.
"This is for Huihui to eat and play with. A normal snack for human children."
"Yeah! Thank you, Brother Wu."
Hui Hui looked very happy.
He directly took a pack of snacks, tore it open with his sharp claws, put it in his mouth and ate it.
Bai Suze talked to me about going outside Xiaowan Village and continuing to explore the mysterious and strange things at the bottom of the river... She said she could follow her to see what was going on.
I sighed and said.
"After I returned home, I discussed this matter with my master in detail. Judging from my master's behavior, she should know some details about that thing."
What? !
Bai Su was overjoyed and said quickly.
"So, Mr. Wu, you already know what that thing is at the bottom of the river? That's very good. If you investigate like this, you may get twice the result with half the effort. At least you have a target."
"I don't know. My master refused to tell me. She just told me very seriously that that thing was not like a human thing, it was terrifying. It is definitely not something that I can get away with now."
I explained to Bai Su with a wry smile.
"What's more... my master also said that that thing is not fully mature yet. So it only appears occasionally, and some of the breath it emits is smelled by our river gods and the spirits and corpses in the river, and they swarm madly. And it’s coming.”
"According to my master's guess, it will take two or three years for that thing to mature. As for what to do then? She said we'll see when the time comes. If she is willing to take action, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Although I don’t know what kind of practice and realm my master is, I feel very confident about her!
Well, Lao Cao is more at ease... In his eyes, my master is almost as praised as a god.
In any case, this matter is probably coming to an end for the time being.
"I see……"
Bai Su seemed thoughtful after listening to it.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again.
"So, the broken black leaf I swallowed was just the immature part of the mysterious thing? And after I swallowed it, I gained at least the level equivalent to the monster's forty years of serious cultivation."
Speaking of this, a look of horror flashed across her bright rabbit eyes.
I also reacted immediately.
Suppose that thing is really some kind of weird and magical black plant... It's just an immature larvae, and eating it directly will have such incredible benefits. If it matures, what terrifying effects it will have!
It’s scary to think about it!
There was another moment of silence.
It was Bai Su who spoke first.
"Mr. Wu, I thought about it seriously. Although your master with great powers said that the thing is not mature yet, I think we should examine it more carefully? Maybe it has not completely disappeared."
When I heard what she said, I felt it made sense.
When I went to that river bay before, I mainly relied on Li Miao, the body hunter, to sneak into the underwater river bottom. And there was no information at that time, and his eyes were completely dark.
Now we already know a lot of information, and we have such a powerful monster to help us. You can try it again!
Even if the master said, that thing will probably disappear soon, and it will take two or three years to mature. But we can also learn more first, right? After waiting two or three years like this, I will be more prepared...
"Miss Bai is right! If you are interested, of course we can go together again. You must be well-informed by following Mr. Bai, the Feng Shui master, and maybe you can see different things at a close distance Come."
This rabbit monster was raised by a Feng Shui master and is no ordinary wild monster!
Her understanding of some Feng Shui patterns and mountain topography may be more advanced than mine at present - after all, I have only learned Feng Shui for a short time.
Even with the help of these two Feng Shui secret books, "The Burial Sutra" and "The House Sutra", no one like a great demon who has followed the Feng Shui master since childhood would have a profound understanding.
After I agreed to go to Jiangwan City to investigate again, Bai Su said that she planned to leave this place with Hui Hui. Move to the mountains outside Lianghe Town.
In this case, it is closer to us. If necessary, we can meet every day. If anything happens, we can take care of each other.
When I heard it, I was overjoyed!
"Is there such a good thing?"
I was so excited.
I thought it would be good enough to have a big demon "ally", but I didn't expect that they would be willing to move to Lianghe Town. Stay with us and help each other.
Bai Su looked at me, with a human smile in her bright red eyes.
"I don't know, would Mr. Wu agree with us coming to Lianghe Town to be neighbors?"
I quickly said: "Welcome, very welcome!"
"However, I am a little worried. Will the mages from other professions in Lianghe Town or nearby agree? If they mistakenly think that Hui Hui and I are monsters and are here to cause trouble, it would not be good to have a conflict."
Masters, Taoist priests, those who eat food from underworld people...these are common names for ordinary people to refer to the folk dharma lineage, which is probably what we as practitioners mean.
Of course he is not afraid of Bai Su's strength.
But as a demon pet raised by a Feng Shui master, a good demon is still unwilling to cause misunderstandings and conflicts with other practitioners.
I immediately slapped my chest.
"This is nothing! The old man from the coffin shop I live with now is a well-known coffin bearer in several nearby towns. He is also a senior mage. Just let him inform the surrounding area. Also Yuan Fei and Li Miao are both quite prestigious. Miss Bai, just rest assured."
With my guarantee, Bai Su was completely relieved.
She told me to go back to Two Rivers Town first.
She and Huihui tidied up the cave first and sorted out their things. Then after it gets dark, come to the coffin shop to find me late at night.
After all, she is too big. If she is not rushing late at night, she will cause unnecessary trouble if ordinary people see her!
I told Bai Su the approximate location of the coffin store, played with Hui Hui for a while, and then left first.
This trip home for the National Day was quite rewarding!
Not only did he learn some information about the mysterious thing at the bottom of the river outside Xiaowan Village, he also gained the friendship of a great demon with whom he was closely related.
Well, I even went to the Xia Family Courtyard and had a battle with the evil spirit corpse.
The battle process was very dangerous, but it also made me grow a lot!
…
After leaving Bai Su's cave, I walked towards Lianghe Town.
The country roads during the day are also very quiet.
But occasionally you can meet people from other villages going to town, and you can also see farmers cultivating in the fields on both sides.
It has a very rustic feel.
So sometimes, I think it’s quite magical when I think about it.
It's obviously the same place, the same scenery.
Ordinary people will feel beautiful during the day and feel terrifying at night...
It’s really interesting!
Around dinner time, I returned to the coffin shop in the east of Lianghe Town.
Just stepped through the high threshold and entered the house.
I smelled a strong fragrance in my nose!
Obviously, it was Wang Hu who was cooking dinner - since the last time he ate the noodles he made, Lao Cao had completely left the cooking to him.
In return, the solid soul incense will be lit for Wang Hu to eat. Enhance the strength and power of his soul.
"Oh, it smells so good! Uncle Tiger is making dinner? It looks like I came back at the right time."
I spoke loudly.
Then I saw three people coming out of the back room.
Lao Cao, Li Miao, Yuan Fei.
Lao Cao looked at me, pretended to smile and cursed.
"You guy, did you come back at this time on purpose? Want to give me an extra dinner? Wang Hu just made enough for three people. You can eat at your age, but we can't have enough."
I pursed my lips: "Old Cao, you are too stingy! In the worst case, I will pay for it and go to the nearby vegetable market to buy two kilograms of meat for extra meals."
Hahaha!
All four of us laughed.
After laughing, I curiously asked Yuan Fei, why is he here?
Li Miao is here, it's normal.
After all, this was an appointment made long ago.
Today we will gather together again in Lao Cao's coffin shop to read the contents of the copy of "Fubei County Chronicle" sent by Boss Duan.
Yuan Fei shrugged helplessly.
"I went to Xinyan Town next door to perform a ritual ceremony. I happened to pass by, so I stopped by. Unexpectedly, I saw Brother Li Miao here. He is a well-known corpse collector nearby, and I usually have something to do. I heard it. It’s just strange that he came to Boss Cao’s coffin shop.”
"After some inquiry, I found out that you have encountered such weird and wonderful things recently! It made me full of curiosity."
"And listening to what you are discussing, it is very likely that it has something to do with the demon who killed the demon tree before. Since I was involved in that matter, there will be no more... Anyway, the debts are too heavy, If there are too many lice, don’t worry about them biting you.”
From what he said, he probably wanted to join the gang too.
