Chapter 37 Three-in-one [including thanks 95,000, 100,000...

The next morning, Yan Luoyue did not cry or make a fuss, and obediently followed Yan Yu to the incubation room.

However, Yan Gan, who had gotten up early to see her off, was reluctant to leave. He tried several times to keep Yan Luoyue at home, but was finally ruthlessly suppressed by Yan Yu, who had already made up his mind.

"If you miss your sister, just come to the incubation room." Yan Yuhun said nonchalantly.

Yan Gan's expression was heavy, as if he had already imagined the scene of himself being surrounded by a group of aunts and ladies.

Yan Yu didn't take Yan Gan's reservedness, which was typical of a young boy, to heart.

As soon as she brought Yan Luoyue to the incubation room, Yan Luoyue was surrounded by a group of turtle women.

With her lovely appearance and the ability to change shape at birth, Yan Luoyue became the most dazzling star baby in the whole room.

It was still the familiar earthen kang, with women sitting and chatting beside it, and the kang was covered with little turtles.

Their round carapaces are only the size of a one-dollar coin in their previous lives, and their bodies are incredibly mini and cute.

Hundreds of little turtles were spread out on the kang mat, and there was still plenty of room.

Seeing Yan Luoyue coming, the women happily stroked the kang a few times.

They pushed away a dozen little turtles to the left, and pushed away a dozen little turtles to the right. After they made room, they placed Yan Luoyue's cradle neatly in the center.

One of the women tucked Luoyue in lovingly:

"When children learn to transform, they always imitate me and their father. But how can adults and children be the same? I can't bear to count the number of times I failed."

"Now that Luoyue is here, when they see her appearance, they will know that they should transform into a doll, which will save them a lot of trouble."

At this moment, Yan Luoyue finally understood why she was so popular.

It turns out that in this world without preschool education, she is still a precious teaching aid.

On the kang mat, the little turtles carefully circled around Yan Luoyue.

They opened their small eyes full of curiosity and looked at Yan Luoyue carefully.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound, and some little turtle blew a bubble at Yan Luoyue!

This broken saliva bubble was like the sound of a starting gun, instantly awakening the instincts of the other little turtles.

For a moment, the sounds of "pop" and "pop" surrounded Yan Luoyue in 3D, and the sound never stopped.

The little turtles were happily blowing bubbles and crawling towards Yan Luoyue, their little paws making clacking sounds on the kang mat.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

She recalled the fear she had experienced when a few little turtles climbed up on her together.

This time, there were a lot of turtles on the opposite side, a whole group of them.

All the newborns this year are sleeping on this kang.

Although he kept shouting in his heart "Don't come over here", the development of the situation obviously did not go as Yan Luoyue wished.

As the joyful crawling of the little turtles approached, she could almost hear the simultaneous broadcast in her mind:

Report - In my dialect, the moon has been surrounded by little turtles.

The enemy little turtle was climbing towards Yan Luoyue's feet.

The nearest saliva bubble of the enemy turtle is only one centimeter away from our Fangyan Luoyue!

Faced with the contrast of outnumbering enemies and overwhelming power, Yan Luoyue looked around and finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, and turned his cheeks into a round white ball.

——“Pah.”

Yan Luoyue blew a huge bubble that was bigger than the little turtles' shells!

The little turtles tilted their heads back and stared blankly at the transparent bubble of saliva, forgetting even to blink, the whole turtle was stunned.

…

While the little turtles were curiously studying Yan Luoyue, Yan Luoyue was also carefully observing their body structures.

Just like the little turtles will imitate her and transform into human form, Yan Luoyue also needs to refer to their appearance so that she can become a real little turtle.

Although she has not yet achieved cultivation, the matter of transformation has nothing to do with cultivation.

The reason why the demons are different from the beasts is that they are born with two forms.

In addition to their own demon form, the demon race can try to transform into human form from birth without any cultivation.

Just like a human baby can learn to sit up, roll over, and crawl when it grows to a certain age... For the demon race, transforming into a human is as natural an instinct as eating and drinking.

Logically speaking, turning into a turtle should be easier than turning into a human.

Therefore, a situation like Yan Luoyue who learned to become a human before learning to become a turtle is as incredible as "learning to eat before learning to breathe".

Yan Luoyue had been learning how to transform into a turtle all morning.

Perhaps it was because he lacked some spirituality in the way of change. Yan Luoyue made many attempts, but there was no sign of success.

During this period, Yan Luoyue's biggest progress was learning how to shrink her neck.

It was not until Yan Yu finished the work at hand, picked up Yan Luoyue and fed her the prepared powder paste that Yan Luoyue realized that the whole morning had passed like this.

Seeing Yan Yu feeding Yan Luoyue porridge, the women came over.

"Hey, this child transformed so early, what do you usually feed her?"

"Here, just soak this in warm water and feed it to me."

Yan Yu generously showed off the "milk powder bag" she carried with her.

The cloth bag was very clean, only the size of a sachet, and contained half a bag of off-white snowflake worm powder, enough for Yan Luoyue to eat for a day.

The aunties and aunties took a few bites and praised Yan Yu's cooking skills. Some of them were even more enthusiastic and took the initiative to suggest to Yan Yu:

"Having only this flavor every day, Luoyue must be tired of it, right? I still have some dried red worms from last year that have not been ground. I'll send you a bag tomorrow so you can have something different to eat."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have dried fat caterpillar powder at home, so don't be polite to my aunt."

"We also have..."

"I'll bring you some tomorrow..."

The women talked affectionately, and some of them pinched Yan Luoyue's little face, which was so tender that it looked like it could drip with water, pursed their lips, and made sounds like teasing a little baby.

"Let me see. Hey, our little Luoyue hasn't grown teeth yet. Don't worry, when our little Luoyue grows teeth, Auntie's house has the most fresh stink bugs. They are fat and plump, and they are full of juice when you bite them. I'll grab a handful for you as a snack every day, okay?"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Listening to the various dishes being announced, Yan Luoyue, who was originally trying her best to eat with a spoon in her mouth, suddenly fell into a daze.

No, no, no, aunts, you are too polite. She really can't bear such rich love from an elder.

No wonder Yan Gan was unwilling to come to the incubator. She thought it was because the young man couldn't bring himself to do that. It turned out that this place was such a scary place...

Normally, when babies are surprised, they will open their mouths unconsciously, but this time, Yan Luoyue kept her lips tightly closed.

Thinking of a future filled with all kinds of insect powder, she subconsciously crossed her arms and made a big cross with her two chubby little arms in front of her chest.

————————————

Yan Luoyue originally had the habit of taking a nap.

But today, she was so frightened by the enthusiastic aunts and uncles that she couldn't fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see many colorful insects flying around in her vision, and she could hear the comments of the ladies: "plump and tender", "full of fat and fragrance", "full of springiness", "long aftertaste"...

“…”

Shivering silently, Yan Luoyue opened her eyes and decided not to take a nap this afternoon.

She chose to continue practicing transformation, numbing herself with endless failures.

Having encountered so many setbacks, Yan Luoyue's mind became empty unconsciously as he practiced, and his thoughts ran as far as a wild horse.

Suddenly, a slight heat flow, completely different from the previous one, appeared out of nowhere. Yan Luoyue immediately felt her heart warm up, and she actually found a hint of strange feeling.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, experiencing the special feeling just now, Yan Luoyue suddenly realized.

——No wonder the demons always say that their ability to transform is “like instinct” when describing it.

It turns out that the power of transformation is like the law of nature, it is a natural and logical thing, and it only requires a little bit of natural coincidence.

On the contrary, the more you force it in your heart, the harder it will be to achieve.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Luoyue relaxed his limbs and imitated the state of being trance-like and slightly sleepy just now.

After putting aside most of his thoughts, it seemed as if a force from deep within his blood was surging. Yan Luoyue did not force it, but let it flow out naturally.

While he was drowsy, the sensation on Yan Luoyue's back suddenly changed.

She opened her eyes as if to wake up, looked around, and confirmed what had just happened.

——It is obvious that she has mastered the secret of transforming into a turtle. Well, she means, part of the secret of transforming into a turtle.

So, at this moment, Yan Luoyue's limbs and head have not changed, but his body has turned into a round shell.

In other words...

Well, yes, imagine a little turtle with its carapace on the ground.

Yan Luoyue is now in a position with her four legs facing the sky.

…………

That afternoon, as the sun was setting, Yan Yu moved a plain white stone into the incubator.

The stone is oval in shape, fine in texture, and has a very smooth surface. From a distance, it looks like a turtle egg that has been magnified hundreds of times.

It was also on this afternoon that Yan Luoyue finally saw what the legendary "bloodline test" was all about.

The women who had been sitting by the kang and chatting and laughing before went up one by one, casually making a few cuts on the back of their hands and wrists, leaving a red mark that had just touched the oily skin.

As soon as the barely detectable blood energy touched the smooth surface of the stone egg, several rays of light emitted from the white stone embryo.

The light steadily shone onto the kang, illuminating the carapaces of several of the little turtles.

Then, the woman withdrew her hand with a smile, walked quickly to the kang, and put her little turtles into her pocket.

She greeted everyone happily.

"I'm going to take the kids home first!"

"Go ahead, go ahead, his aunt."

"Don't forget to weave the mat tomorrow."

Tomorrow morning she would bring in more little turtles to look after along with the other newborns in the tribe.

After some time, when the tribesmen can easily pick out their own children from a group of little turtles that look similar, Yan Yu won't have to ask for the appraisal stone every day.

The golden-red shadow of the sun was almost halfway below the horizon.

In the incubator, the women took their own children away, and the number of little turtles left on the kang became fewer and fewer.

Until the last yellow-shelled turtle was happily put into the arms of its mother, and the hatchery was finally clean.

The kang that was crowded with people during the day, with aunts and uncles sitting on the edge and little turtles crawling on the kang, is now empty.

Yan Yu exhaled slowly, finally finishing a day's work. She felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and immediately stood on tiptoes, stretching her waist happily.

The raised limbs had just been stretched halfway when Yan Yu's gaze drifted to the kang.

In the very center of the kang, a set of baby blankets were neatly placed there.

However, the cradle was empty.

“…”

Yan Yu suddenly remembered that she was on duty today with her child.

So, now that the guard duty is over, what about the children she is taking care of?

——Where is Yan Luoyue?

Blinking in confusion, Yan Yu instantly thought of several possibilities.

She subconsciously lifted the soft blanket and turned her head to look in the direction of the door, as if waiting for someone to come back with the baby. She apologized sheepishly, "Oops, I took the wrong child."

But the next second, her fingers touched something hard.

Yan Yu lowered his head abruptly, and then his eyes widened in surprise!

I saw a small and exquisite turtle with a light green shell and no bigger than a coin, holding a corner of the hairpin in its mouth.

It was trying very hard, arching its back a little bit to crawl out of the cradle.

As if it felt the corner of the quilt was suddenly lifted, the little turtle stopped moving all of a sudden.

It bit the hairpin and slowly raised its head. Its round black eyes were like two black beads.

They seemed to be saying: Other little turtles have been taken home, will you come and take me home?

Yan Yu called out tentatively: "...Luo Yue?"

The little turtle nodded slowly.

Yan Yu happily picked up the little turtle!

"Luoyue, you have learned how to transform!"

"Sister, you have successfully transformed into a turtle!"

Two greetings rang out in the house at the same time.

Yan Yu and Yan Luoyue looked in the direction of the second sound, only to see Yan Gan standing on the doorstep of the incubation room with a smile on his face.

Oh, he came half an hour earlier today, and the ladies hadn't left yet.

The young boy was shy and felt guilty. He was too embarrassed to admit that he was there to pick someone up, so he had to hide here and there, dodging the cats for most of the way around the tribe's territory.

Yan Gan walked forward with a smile, took the little turtle from Yan Yu's hand, held it in his hands tenderly, and looked at it from left to right.

As he watched, Yan Gan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Hiss... Sister Yu." Yan Gan called out to the person next to him hesitantly, "Come and take a look..."

"Hmm?" Yan Yu didn't understand what he meant.

Yan Gan hesitated and said, "Look here at the back. Um, has my sister not learned how to change her tail?"

Yan Yu flipped it back and forth twice: "It seems that the tail is really missing."

Yan Gan whispered: "...Ahem, this, it's not like, my sister shouldn't change."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yes, in addition to the carapace, turtles also have small tails.

She was so busy turning her limbs into claws that she accidentally forgot about the tail!

On the next day, Yan Luoyue came to the school for class as usual.

Generally speaking, the first class in the morning is a literary class, which is used to explain the essentials of cultivation and the moral principles that monks should follow.

But today, before the first class started, a petite nun with a cute baby face walked into the classroom.

Yan Luoyue recognized at once that this female teacher was one of the teachers in charge of the Yuanzi class, Feng Xiaoyuan.

Feng Xiaoyuan walked quickly forward and whispered something to the teacher.

After hearing this, the other party showed understanding.

He glanced in the direction of Yan Luoyue, nodded with a smile, and gave this class to Feng Xiaoyuan.

Eh, is it related to her? Yan Luoyue blinked slightly in confusion.

Feng Xiaoyuan walked to the middle of the classroom with a smile on her face and clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention. She was born sweet and playful, and when she smiled, a deep swirl appeared on each side of her cheeks.

"Okay, I'll borrow a class from your Mr. Ma today, and I'll talk to you about the demons and the demon sealing."

Thinking of the look Mr. Ma gave her before he left, and the keyword "demon clan" mentioned by Feng Xiaoyuan, Yan Luoyue suddenly understood: this added class was indeed related to what happened to her yesterday.

To apply an example from modern society, when the local school heard that there was a fugitive on the run, they held a class meeting and lecture on "sex" for all students.

Feng Xiaoyuan did not try to be mysterious, nor did she give everyone a dry history lesson. At the beginning, she used a very clever question to introduce the topic.

The question is: "Does anyone know why there are so many demons in the major sects in the human world today?"

This question is very interesting, and Yan Luoyue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In theory, the world of immortal cultivation is a general term for the human world, the demon world, and the devil world.

The distribution of these three small worlds is roughly like a Chinese character “品”, and they are connected by passages.

However, the passage between the human world and the demon world is relatively narrow, and there are various natural disasters and storms on the road, making it difficult to enter or exit.

Therefore, before the "War to Subdue Demons" broke out in the past, the exchanges between the human world and the demon world always used the demon world as a transit point.

But after the battle against demons, the human world and the demon world joined forces to fight against the demon world and sealed the entrance to the demon world.

Without this convenient passage, travel between the demon world and the human world becomes difficult.

Normally, in this situation, the demons living in the human world are likely to be discriminated against and become marginalized figures.

——According to Yan Luoyue, there are indeed idiots in the world who treat monsters as beasts or pets.

However, most of the sects in this world not only do not discriminate against the demon race, but also accept them as their disciples as usual. In addition, there is even a group of demons who become the "dharma-transmitting disciples" of the sect and master the important scriptures of the sect.

In theory, this is a development that goes against common sense.

Yan Luoyue thought in her heart while turning her head to look at her studies.

Some of them looked as confused as himself, but some, such as Sang Ji, looked suddenly enlightened.

Feng Xiaoyuan noticed Sang Ji's expression and stood up to answer.

"Sang Ji, what do you think?"

Sang Ji stood up and smiled, then answered nonchalantly, "Because the demon race has strong vitality, lives long, and gives birth to many children."

“…”

For a second, Yan Luoyue felt that Sang Ji had been too naughty recently, even to the point of being naughty in class.

But at a moment, Feng Xiaoyuan nodded: "That's right."

...What, such an absurd reason is actually true?

As expected, only literary works need to consider logic. Reality is even less logical than fiction, right?

Feng Xiaoyuan didn't smile. She tightened the corners of her lips, and even her sweet and lovely face became serious.

"Three thousand years ago, the demonic disaster broke out. The demons invaded our human and demon worlds in large numbers, so the human and demon races formed an alliance and joined forces to fight the demons. History calls it the Battle of Subduing the Demons. This battle lasted for 150 people."

"At the beginning, the alliance of the two races suffered a series of defeats. Many monsters were unstoppable, and countless humans and monsters suffered from the monsters."

"By the fifty-eighth time, the human and demon races almost thought they were doomed to fail. It was at that time that the two races exchanged a large number of people as reserve forces."

According to Feng Xiaoyuan's story, the human and demon races exchanged their best children not as hostages, but to pass on the civilization of this world.

It is said that at the most critical moment, the two tribes were even ready to break out of the boundaries from the human world and the demon world respectively.

The vast world outside is so boundless that no one can predict what he will encounter, and no one can guess how long he will wander.

Under the premise of making the worst expectation, the demon clan sent disciples to join the human clan sect and memorize the human clan classics.

This is because the offspring of the demon race tend to have longer lifespans, stronger bodies, and more time.

This can ensure that after the Breaking Boundary Plan is launched, even if there will be thousands of wanderers, future generations will have greater energy to resist danger.

He will record and pass on the history and skills he possesses like a torch.

The reason why humans joined the demon tribe was because they had better creativity and comprehension.

These people more or less mastered the knowledge of refining weapons, refining pills, formations, drawing talismans, medical practice... etc., which could ensure the richness of the population to the greatest extent.

Such preparations are still for the purpose of continuing the existing history.

The spirit of civilizational inheritance was defended to the extreme at this moment, even transcending racial differences.

Yan Luoyue listened with a sigh.

The reason why the demon clan appointed him as a disciple to pass on their teachings was actually this. This certainly sounds quite unexpected, and even funny.

But once you trace back to the historical reasons, it's really hard to laugh at.

If you put yourself in that situation, you can imagine how desperate and dangerous that moment must be.

And how bleak and sad the situation was at that time.

Feng Xiaoyuan said calmly: "Fortunately, I won that decisive battle."

One step at a time, one step at a time. As a result, the human and demon races had a chance to catch their breath and got the first chance to gain a firm foothold.

Over the next few decades, the two tribes gradually gained the upper hand. In the end, at the cost of countless sacrifices, all the demons were driven back to the demon world and the passage between the two worlds was sealed.

Having started with this topic, Feng Xiaoyuan went on to talk about the main types of demons.

During the war against demons, the human race and the demon race suffered great losses, and only then did they discover that the demon race had quietly spawned many strange species.

For example, there is a type of monster called "Heteromach".

This kind of monster is both male and female, and feeds on flesh and blood. As long as they devour enough flesh and blood, they can give birth to monsters continuously.

And what is very strange is that the monster born from a heterodemon is not necessarily a baby heterodemon.

It can be a "mud diamond", a "green mane demon", a "roller beast" and so on.

What kind of monster it can give birth to depends mainly on what it eats.

In the war against demons, 80% of the demons encountered by the monks were almost all born from heterodemons.

There is also a kind of monster that feeds on memories, called the "Puppet Master".

He can eat the memories of living beings, and then use the puppet strings that extend from himself to turn the living beings into puppets and control them.

When the most skilled puppeteer controls the puppet, even the puppet's parents and spouses cannot notice anything unusual.

This kind of monster was so troublesome that for a while it even caused a trend of everyone in the world of immortal cultivation to feel insecure.

The "chaos" caused by the puppeteer several times have caused suspicions of conspiracy among the human and demon camps.

The third type of monster can devour the cultivation of monks, absorb the monks' attacks, and then release the absorbed energy to the enemy in the form of explosion or other attacks.

It is said that there is a very special monster that seems to feed on emotions and likes to play with its prey. However, there are very few records about this monster.

The above four types are relatively representative and highly special monsters.

As for the large armies of monsters, most of them are similar to monsters, either with strong physiques or amazing magical powers, which is nothing unusual.

Having said this, Feng Xiaoyuan paused, turned around and hung a painting on the wall.

The painting depicts a monster with a green face, fangs and unusually large eyes. The image looks very familiar.

Yan Luoyue thought about it carefully and remembered that she had seen this painting before.

In the red jade slip on the bulletin board, there was once a wanted order for a monster escaped, and the portrait in it seemed to look like this.

It was not until today, after listening to Feng Xiaoyuan's explanation, that Yan Luoyue finally said, "It turns out that this is the so-called "heteromagnetic demon".

Feng Xiaoyuan said seriously, "I suspect that this monster may be lingering near Yunning Lake recently. If anyone finds any trace of the monster, do not move rashly and report it immediately to the elders of the tribe or to you gentlemen."

"No matter what, there is one thing you must never forget. That is..."

Before Feng Xiaoyuan could finish speaking, the students in the classroom had already understood what he was saying and joined in.

Except for Yan Luoyue, who Ji was too young to have heard of, almost everyone said in unison: "——The demon-killing mission is complete!"

"That's right." Feng Xiaoyuan sighed softly, "Okay, I'm going to class."

Not long after Feng Xiaoyuan walked out of the classroom, Yan Luoyue caught up with her.

Hearing the hurried and light footsteps behind him, Feng Xiaoyuan turned around, half bent over, and looked at Yan Luoyue inquiringly.

"It's Luoyue, what's that?"

Yan Luoyue raised his head, widened his eyes and said, "Sir, did you go looking for those two monsters in Chunzhuo Mountain yesterday? Did you find them?"

She also has Xiao Ming's water tank, which is inserted into the monster's corpse.

Feng Xiaoyuan frowned and shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't find the two monsters you mentioned."

As if she was afraid of hurting the child's feelings, Feng Xiaoyuan quickly added: "The teacher believes that what you said is true. But who knows who found the bodies of the two monsters first and took them away."

"The person who took the monster's body away must have noticed my approach. He left in a hurry and didn't clean up thoroughly..."

Recalling the scene she saw at that time, Feng Xiaoyuan muttered to herself. Halfway through her speech, she realized that she had said too much.

She smiled and patted Yan Luoyue's head affectionately.

"Okay, go back to class, the teacher will protect you."

"Wait!" Yan Luoyue stopped Feng Xiaoyuan again.

"Mr. Feng, you deliberately put up that wanted warrant in class today. Is it because those two monsters are the offspring of the big monster on the wanted warrant?"

Feng Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I have this conjecture."

Watching Feng Xiaoyuan's back going away, Yan Luoyue was slightly absent-minded.

Call it intuition or prejudice, but the image of the Lu family appeared in Yan Luoyue's mind again.

Feng Xiaoyuan said that the characteristics of the flesh and blood eaten by the alien demon will appear in the offspring.

The Lu family secretly purchased poison, and the two lynxes were poisonous in nature.

And that little green snake, its gaze can paralyze people, maybe it's also poisonous?

Yan Luoyue thought about it for a while and decided to tell Jiang Tingbai about her doubts.

After all, Mr. Jiang had said before that he could cut the Lu family mansion into eight pieces with one sword, so it should be no problem to follow the clues and find out the truth about the monster.

——————————

As a result, when I arrived at the office, before I could say a few words, a crying, swollen and purple face suddenly appeared in front of me.

Yan Luoyue was startled.

She carefully identified for a long time before she recognized the meatball who jumped up and cried as soon as he stepped into the door. It turned out to be Brother Tang.

Yan Luoyue realized later that Sang Ji and Yan Ganshou were really cruel.

Because now Brother Tang is so bald that he doesn't even have a single nose hair left!

Yan Luoyue: “…”

It's okay if it's just a rumor, but I wonder if Brother Ji and his people have done the job of plucking chicken feathers with hot water, otherwise how could they be so skillful.

She had heard about the outcome of Tang Ge's treatment.

The first and most common one is to find the parents.

After discussing it, the teachers unanimously decided to expel Tang Ge from the school.

Even according to modern practice, parents are the best choice for children who drop out of school at such a serious age.

Secondly, Brother Tang’s cultivation level in the academy was the intermediate level of Qi training, while Mr. Wang only had the entry-level level of Qi training—that is, the level he had when he first entered the academy.

In Mr. Dong's words, he has "the heart and nature of a tiger or a wolf, and a rotten tree that cannot be carved."

This decisive way of dealing with the matter showed that the school and Brother Tang were no longer related.

Finally, the teacher posted a notice on the bulletin board on the grounds of the school.

This blue jade slip clearly stated that Brother Tang was an abandoned disciple of the academy, with a narrow mind, partiality, cruelty, and no use at all. He had been expelled from the academy and would have no further contact with the academy in the future.

The school was established by the Guiyuan Sect and its influence is very strong.

Once this notice was released, it almost meant that no reliable sect would be willing to accept him as a disciple.

In other words, the best way out for Brother Tang in his life might be to stay in the clan and do odd jobs.

Obviously, Tom and his parents have realized how serious the consequences of this announcement will be.

So Tang Ge’s family beat him up all night last night, and today, Tang Ge just came home and he started crying so hard that his sleeves were covered with snot.

"Sir," Brother Tang begged with sobs, "Mr. Jiang, please forgive me. I was just playing with little sister Luoyue. It was nothing serious. I didn't mean to hurt her."

Yan Luoyue: "Hey, you are so polite to say that."

The call of "Little Sister Luoyue" gave her goosebumps all over her body.

Brother Tang wiped his wet face and gave another example with sobs.

"Didn't Sang Ji just play a joke on the cub? Why can't the school treat me with kindness?"

Hearing this, as a cub, Yan Luoyue glanced at Brother Tang coldly.

——Sang Ji was a man who did not take the seriousness of his actions seriously, but he did not have any bad intentions.

If Yan Luoyue's health bar had not been abnormally short, she would have just fallen flat on her face.

But Tom...

Yan Luoyue admired his aggrieved face with surprise and found that this boy really had no idea what he was doing.

Obviously, Jiang Tingbai was not going to tolerate Brother Tang's sophistry.

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and a faint silver-white sword light flashed through his eyes.

At that moment, a powerful pressure instantly descended upon Brother Tang's back, and the chilling aura made Brother Tang fall to his knees on the spot.

On this day, Brother Tang recalled the fear that Jiang Tingbai had forced back to his original form.

He trembled and called out timidly, "Sir."

Jiang Tingbai asked calmly: "Why are you here?"

Brother Tang said in a mournful voice, "Please, sir, can you ask the school to retract the notice? I know you can."

"Once this notice is released, the entire Yunning Daze, or even the entire Central Plains, will definitely abandon the students. But the students still want to go abroad to study!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tingbai shook his head, with deep disappointment in his eyes.

He said: "There is the Snowland in the far north, the Hongtong Palace in the far south, and the Fanyin Temple in the far west. If you really have this heart, you can continue to seek the truth despite all the difficulties and hardships."

"But if you don't have sincerity, you will only flatter your superiors and throw away the lives of young children at will, and you will be smug and not feel ashamed!"

Jiang Tingbai slightly emphasized the last half of the sentence.

In one second, Brother Tang, who was timid, frightened and guilty, trembled with fear.

He turned into his original form again - a pheasant with all its "feathers" plucked out.

Brother Tang begged for mercy in fear, "Ohhhh! Ohhhh!"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yan Luoyue pinched the bridge of her nose and endured for a moment.

After a while, she picked up a piece of thin straw rope that Mr. Jiang used to weave things, rushed over, and tied up the pheasant's pointed beak with it.

"Sir, I'll compensate you for using your rope later."

"No need." Jiang Tingbai said sadly, "I just rubbed this with some weeds I pulled from the backyard of the school..."

…………

Only after she had asked Brother Tang to leave the door and heard his footsteps getting farther and farther away did Yan Luoyue turn around and look at Jiang Tingbai with a smile.

She sincerely sighed: "The teacher is kind-hearted. At the last moment, he was still willing to teach him once."

Jiang Tingbai shook his head and gently tidied the corner of his robe.

"If he can hear that I am teaching him, then I have taught him. If he still can't hear it, then he has just learned how to kneel."

"That's a skill." Yan Luoyue said sincerely, "Before today, I've never seen a chicken kneeling."

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

The students are indeed cute, but not very good. Their way of thinking often reflects the gap between humans and monsters.

Jiang Tingbai didn't let Yan Luoyue interrupt him any further, so he reminded her, "Why did you come to see me?"

Yan Luoyue came back to her senses and recounted all the details related to the Lu family.

"Lu family..." Jiang Tingbai thought, "I understand. I will check it out."

Yan Luoyue quietly fanned the flames.

"That sword technique that came down from the sky and could split the Lu family into eight pieces with one sword...!"

Jiang Tingbai smiled helplessly: "I can't do this without evidence."

Yan Luoyue still felt unwilling: "Then, can't we use some quick means to find out if there are any monsters hiding in Lu's industry?"

Jiang Tingbai thought about it, and soon asked Yan Luoyue to sit on the chair opposite and taught her seriously.

"I can investigate whether the Lu family is hiding monsters. I can't do the 'quick method'."

He put emphasis on the word "quickly", obviously understanding Yan Luoyue's plan.

Before the little girl showed disappointment on her face, Jiang Tingbai spoke in a calm voice.

"The premise for maintaining order is that most people are willing to 'obey the rules' and 'preach the truth'."

"Today, I can sneak into the mansion of the Lu family because I suspect that he is hiding a monster. Can I use the same reason to sneak into the mansions of the Li family, the Wang family, etc. in the future? What if I don't find the monster, but find his secret skills? Who in the entire cultivation world can endorse my justice and selflessness?"

Precisely because one sword can break everything, Jiang Tingbai cannot swing this sword lightly.

Jiang Tingbai is a swordsman, and his sword power is strong enough to make it easy for him to break through everything.

Jiang Tingbai's sword intent was also kind enough, kind enough to make him understand how difficult it would be to repair it after it was "broken".

After this conversation, Yan Luoyue understood. She had grasped what Jiang Tingbai meant.

"I see, sir, you value both substantive justice and procedural justice."

However, Yan Luoyue is different. Her moral bottom line is far from being that high.

Not that she was going to do anything bad.

But, she refined a compass specifically for finding her pet snake, so that's normal, right?

In the end, there was no need to reply. I found Lu's house right away. There should be nothing wrong with that, right?

——————————

At this moment, a conversation about monsters was taking place in Mr. Lu's study.

The chief monk stood respectfully in front of Lu Jindu.

At his feet lay the corpses of two monsters, one red and one purple. They were the two bald lynxes that Yan Luoyue had encountered in the cave earlier.

The chief monk bowed deeply to Lu Jindu.

"My Lord, the two monsters that escaped a few days ago have now been found."

Lu Jindu nodded indifferently, indicating that he had already said it.

"How's it going? Have you sorted it out?"

Out of trust in his trusted aide, Lu Jindu spoke in a very calm tone when he asked this question.

There was not a trace of murderous intent in the tone of Patriarch Lu.

At this moment, except for the chief monk, no one could hear the bloody implication of annihilating all the interested parties hidden in the four words "destroy the head and the tail".

The chief monk hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth with reluctance, reporting in a low voice.

"Who killed these two monsters and reported it to Guiyuanzong Academy?"

"When I led people there, I ran into the disciples of Guiyuan Sect who were rushing over... Since this has already been known to Guiyuan Sect, I didn't dare to reveal any traces."

"What? How did you get the disciples of Guiyuan Sect?" Lu Jindu was finally surprised. "No, you just said that these two monsters were already there before you arrived?"

"Yes, please take a look. There is a hairpin in the wound. I suspect it is a refined magic weapon."

The chief monk bent down and showed the wounds of the two monsters to Lu Jindu.

Once the stiff fur was turned over, the strong smell of blood from behind the corpse came to my face.

Lu Jindu frowned in disgust. But the moment he stared at it was enough for him to see clearly the wooden hairpin that had penetrated into the wound on the lynx's waist.

Without saying a word, the chief monk just pointed at the hairpin, pulled it out, cleaned it, and presented it to Lu Jindu.

Lu Jindu pinched the hairpin between two fingertips and looked at it with disgust, then curled his lips.

"It's just a little thing that's slightly beneficial to the blood. It's not the work of some inferior weapon refiner."

The leader hurriedly asked, "In your opinion, is the method used to make this hairpin similar to the method used by the grasshopper boy to make the storage bag? Could they have been made by the same person?"

As if he was afraid of hurting his eyes, Lu Jindu leaned back and looked at Mu Zan again.

"Not a person." He answered casually, "Those storage bags are made in a very artificial way, without any soul, but the craftsmanship is still acceptable."

"As for this hairpin, it is a crude thing and not worth mentioning... They are different in their own ways and could not have been made by the same person."

After hearing what he said, the chief monk felt relieved immediately.

The cave was not well ventilated. When the chief monk was examining the monster's corpse, he had smelled a familiar pungent odor.

It was a kind of... a kind of... a smell of shame that he would never forget for half his life!

Therefore, the chief monk specially gave the hairpin to Lu Jindu for identification, just to prevent it from being related to that damn grasshopper boy.

Now that the Lord had confirmed it himself, the chief monk felt relieved.

The master might be frivolous and have little experience in dealing with people, but he has never made a mistake in refining instruments and is a genius in the world.

After all, Grasshopper Boy is an instrument maker, so he wouldn't use a rotten hairpin made by others to comb his hair.

He smiled and said, "You are wise. I thought that even though the guy was lucky enough to kill the monster, he would not have any great power. He even used such a tattered hairpin. He must have fought to the death."

The chief monk took the hairpin as he spoke.

He held the plain wooden hairpin in his hand and took another look at it.

For a moment, the chief monk was stunned.

Strange, why does this hairpin look familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before?

Frowning, the chief monk searched his memory for a long time, but still could not remember the relevant fragments.

"... Lao Lu, Lao Lu!"

Finally, it was the master's louder voice that brought the chief monk back to his senses.

Lu Jindu said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? You didn't even hear me calling you several times."

The chief monk said hurriedly, "Ah, I just thought this hairpin looked familiar... What can I do for you, sir?"

Lu Jindu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You go first and try to keep an eye on Gui Yuanzong's movements."

"yes."

After bowing, the chief monk left the master's study.

He held the hairpin in his hand, still unable to figure out who the owner of the hairpin was.

However, since the hairpin looks familiar, it means I have seen it before.

Combined with the appearance of a monster corpse in the wooden hairpin and the familiar stench that permeates the cave...

Haha, this person was able to obtain information about the monsters that escaped from the main family. He must be a spy sent by another family, or an ambitious internal spy.

As for that stench...

Tsk, someone has already investigated the true identity of "Yan Cao", but chose to betray his master and cooperate with him.

This stink bomb must be the benefit that person got from that grasshopper boy.

The leader monk didn't know what he was thinking. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

After staring at the wooden hairpin in his hand for a moment, the leading monk suddenly made a move.

If Yan Luoyuechang saw this scene again, she would smile and sigh on the spot, thinking it was wonderful.

It was to the point where she would frame the chief monk whenever she thought of this operation in the future.

Because the chief monk personally inserted Xiao Ming's water tank into his own hair.

At this moment, the chief monk thought grimly: Well, let him try and see which expert will show strange expression when seeing this hairpin.

Since this person dared to betray the Lu family, he used this hairpin to take the monster's life.

Then he should be prepared for this hairpin to take his life!

"Wait a minute." Lu Jindu suddenly called his loyal subordinate.

He asked in confusion: "Why is your nose bleeding?"

Chief monk: “…Ah?”

…………

Only after seeing the chief monk leave with his own eyes did Lu Jindu turn the switch of the desk.

Along with the clicking sound of the spring, a three-foot square entrance appeared on the wall behind him.

From the entrance to the secret room, before reaching the last few steps, a strong smell of blood and fetus hits my face.

Lu Jindu adjusted his expression, walked up the stairs, and put one hand behind his back.

In the deepest part of the secret room, a huge green-faced, fang-toothed monster was lying on a pile of brocade.

Its abdomen was bulging like a drum, and its purple-red nipples were swollen to the point of bursting, revealing its thin skin and lilac-colored blood vessels.

There is no need to look for a picture, any student who has just finished a class can recognize that it is the big demon on the wanted list!

This is a heteroseraph!

"..." After taking a deep breath, Lu Jindu smiled at the alien demon and said, "How do you feel today?"

If the leader were a monk, he would probably be surprised by his master's overly easy-going attitude.

The alien demon turned half over on the embroidered mattress and spoke in human language.

The sound it makes sounds like sharp nails scratching across quartz, with an irritating sharpness that makes people want to cover their ears on the spot.

The half-mother demon said lazily, "What do you think?"

As it spoke, it cast aside its sickle-like, hooked feet and gave birth to two fist-sized young monsters in front of Lord Lu.

Upon seeing these two monsters, Lord Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He collected them as modestly as possible, pinching them with his bare hands and putting them into his storage bag while they were still fresh.

But no matter how graceful the movements were, they could not conceal Lu Jindu's urgency and impatience.

When the alien demon saw him like this, it started laughing strangely.

Its voice is already shrill, but now it tries to pretend to be motherly and imitate the tone of a loving mother.

"That's right. You provide me with food, and I provide you with food. If you eat my child, your cultivation will rise greatly, and you will be as happy as a god. What's wrong with that?"

Such a tone and such content sounded like something inhuman was stuffed into a human body, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

However, Lu Jindu actually laughed along.

"You mean - are you going to eat it today?"

Following the fingertips of Master Lu, one can see a cage in the corner of the secret room.

The grating of the cage was so dense that one had to strain one's eyes to discern the coiled little snake in the dim light.

The snake's body was a clear green color that could not be concealed by the blood.

The alien demon snorted, either out of pride or anger.

"Soon, as long as you provide me with more poison, I can eat it right away."

Lu Jindu said hurriedly: "Of course."

The alien demon's eyes turned, and she said to Lu Jindu in a stern tone, "Go to hell, are you willing to cooperate now?"

Although the green snake is small, its venom is strong.

The alien demon was reluctant to eat all the delicious food at once.

Although it is a monster, it also vaguely understands sustainable development.

For example, wouldn't it be better to raise this little snake and let it willingly hand over its scales and flesh on a regular basis?

Although Lu Jindu treated the alien demon with respect, he was not stupid.

He paused noticeably, then smiled and said:

"After we caught it this time, the seal on it loosened a little, and it can now speak a little... Didn't you talk to it?"

Upon hearing this question, the All-Mother Demon snorted for a long time from all eight air holes on her body, including her nostrils and the back of her head.

It stretched out its sickle-like hooked legs, gave birth to a monster's head, and kicked the cage hard.

"I did say that, but what did it say to me?"

The cage shook, and the seriously injured green snake in the cage woke up.

Without even opening its eyes, it spoke human language in a skilled yet clumsy manner.

The reason why it is said to be skilled is that similar things must have happened in the secret room many times before.

The reason why it is clumsy is that this little green snake has not spoken human language for a long time, and its pronunciation is still unfamiliar.

The little green snake said, "Fuck you, I'll fuck your legs."

Heteromorph: “…”

Lu Jindu: "..."

To be honest, this cannot be called human language, this is insulting language.

Lu Jindu walked to the front of the cage with a calm smile, and bowed slightly in a condescending manner.

The little green snake was holding something. At first, Lu Jindu thought it was just some ordinary cotton wool.

He observed it carefully for a while before realizing that it should be a ball of silk ribbon, but because it had been wetted by the blood of the green snake so many times, its original color could no longer be seen.

Lu Jindu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "As long as you are willing to be a donor, you should have all the toys like this."

"If.you.could.match.something..."

At one moment, Lu Jindu suddenly stopped talking.

The reason why he pronounced the second half of the sentence so stiffly was certainly not because he wanted to pronounce each word with a single emphasis, but because...

But because damn, the little snake was looking at him with its eyes open!

The little green snake's eyes were as dark as the night, and there was no telling what kind of magic was hidden in them. Not only did Lu Jindu feel indirectly paralyzed, but his speech was also stuttering!

Angrily kicking the cage, Lu Jindu walked away in anger.

"Since you have a way to take it, I can't stop you!"

When he passed by the alien demon, the demon had just given birth to a child.

This living monster was not round like the one provided to Rujindu, but looked like a bald lynx.

The alien demon lazily stretched out its neck, broke the little monster's head with one hand, then folded it and swallowed it in one gulp without chewing it.

Lu Jindu slightly emphasized his tone and warned: "The people of Guiyuan Sect have already discovered what's going on. You'd better be careful and eat what you should eat. Don't let it have a chance to escape."

"I understand." The Heterodon swung its tail impatiently. "Giving birth to a useless child like this will waste all my accumulated poison power. Hurry up and collect more poison for me. I can't do you any good."

"Don't worry, I'll find it."

Lu Jindu's figure left the secret room, and the heterodon stretched out its long claws, knocking on the cage in the corner of the wall, making it clang.

The Allopath's tone was very flirtatious, like an otter playing with its prey that couldn't escape.

"It is said that snakes are born with an instinct to distinguish prey. They use the length of the prey to estimate whether it is edible, and use the smell to estimate whether the prey can be balanced. Do you have this instinct?"

The little green snake didn't know how to do it.

This time, he didn't even swear.

The little green snake spit out its tongue.

It carefully rolled up the ball of fluff whose true color could no longer be identified, lowered its small snake head, and then remained motionless.

It was not until much later that such anecdotes became widely circulated in the world:

It is said that every time the snake lowered its head, its shy and humble smile actually represented an unpredictable response.

Just like... right now.

——What do you guess?

——Do you believe I can check you?

....

The next day, the great elder set up a grand buffet.

This banquet was filled with toasts and many guests.

Not only did all members of the tribe, regardless of gender, age or status, attend the event, but many old friends of the other monster tribes near Yunningze, such as the partridge, giant salamander, red crane, etc., also received invitations.

Even people like Shen Jingxuan who accidentally entered the Turtle Clan's guesthouse, as well as some merchants and monks who stayed in the Turtle Clan before entering the mountain, were all invited to the table.

This is of course not only because the Great Elder is popular with Guigui and has a big reputation.

Moreover, the turtle tribe has not been so prosperous for many years, and everyone wants to take the opportunity to liven up the event.

After all, they are turtles, with long life spans, and a dozen or so years won’t be enough to make them disappear.

Humans also have the custom of celebrating birthdays on every fifth or tenth birthday.

But in the turtle tribe, on birthdays, unless it is a 20th or 50th birthday, the family usually gets together and has a meal.

As for weddings and such...

According to Yan Yu's verification of the old almanac, the last time the Turtle Tribe held a large wedding banquet seemed to be more than 300 years ago.

Therefore, this banquet was extremely grand. As long as they were relatives or friends of the Turtle Clan, they were guests and could all take a seat.

For example, Sang Ji.

Although there is not much interaction between the black-nosed crocodiles and the turtles.

However, he has always been on good terms with the siblings Yan Gan and Yan Luoyue, so he also came to attend this banquet.

Sang Ji was used to coming to play with the Yan brothers and sisters on weekdays. He was very familiar with the Turtle Clan’s territory and knew which door to open for everyone.

Because of this, he also had some understanding of the situation within the turtle tribe.

Sang Ji touched his chin, looked at the red banner unrolled in front of the banquet table, and raised the first question of this meal.

"According to what is written on the banner, this is the 1,801st birthday banquet for your great elder?"

But as far as Sang Ji knows, hasn't the Great Elder of the Turtle Clan lived for at least 1,900 years this year?

Did he remember it wrong, or is the secret of your turtle tribe's eternal youth lies in this: every time you live a year, you can grow backwards for at least a hundred years?

Facing Sang Ji's doubt, Yan Luoyue and Yan Gan looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Gan patted Sang Ji on the shoulder, motioned his brother to come closer, and whispered to him the whole story.

Sang Ji suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. It turns out that the birthday banquet is just a name."

But he still couldn't understand: "If that's the case, why is it 1,801 years old? Isn't 1,800 years good? It's a perfect birthday!"

Yan Luoyue added solemnly, "That's because the Great Elder's enemy only lived to be 1,800 years old."

As mentioned, the Great Elder is holding a special banquet today to celebrate his 1,801th birthday. The purpose is to keep the celebration low-key and not show off his gloating.

Secondly, it is to say - hahahaha, none of you can survive me!

Sang Ji: "...As expected of you, the turtle clan."

After this move, Sang Ji suddenly felt refreshed and amazed, and even his outlook on life was greatly broadened.

The Turtle Clan is located at the intersection of the Yunning Mountains and the Demon Realm Seal.

Over the years, the turtle monsters have been welcoming and entertaining monks from all over the world, and they have long been planning to set up banquets.

It can be said that there is not a single dish in this buffet that is not delicious.

For a moment, everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate heartily, making sure that everyone enjoyed the meal.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Yan Luoyue and the other three children were full. The protagonist of this "birthday party" was late.

Sang Ji waited for half a cup of tea before the great elder walked up from the bottom step to the three-step red carpet stage.

He couldn't help but lower his voice and whispered to Yan Luoyue and Yan Gan.

"Wait, I just realized, you guys are eating in the wrong order, right?"

Generally speaking, whether it is a red or white party or a New Year's toast, doesn't the host want to make a speech before the meal starts?

Waiting until everyone has finished eating before starting to eat, what kind of thing is this?

When it comes to this question, Yan Gan and Yan Luoyue look at each other tacitly.

The next second, the brother and sister sighed at the same time: "You...you will know it soon."

Sang Ji: “???”

What does it mean?

Soon, Sang Ji understood why such an arrangement was made.

Because the Great Elder spoke first and said the first words of the day.

He said: "Thank you all for coming today."

Sang Ji: “…”

In order to express his seriousness, the elder spoke with great concentration when pronouncing each word.

This means that he speaks even slower than usual.

Sang Ji watched with disdainful eyes: when the great elder finished his first sentence, some people at the table had already picked up their chopsticks out of boredom.

By the time the great elder finished his second sentence, a drunk guest had already fallen down under the table, snoring loudly.

As for what happened after the great elder finished his third sentence...

I'm sorry, Sang Ji didn't finish the third sentence.

Because at that time, he had already fallen asleep with his head tilted and hanging on the chair along with Yan Gan and Yan Luoyue!

Before falling asleep, Sang Ji murmured in a daze, "As expected, as expected... of you... the Turtle Clan."

When Yan Luoyue woke up the next day, there was a rustling sound around her.

Everyone rubbed their sleepy eyes and smiled at each other: it turned out that they all just woke up not long ago.

This was expected and Yan Luoyue was not surprised.

What surprised her was that half of the guests were covered with a small floral quilt and holding a small pillow in their arms.

The quilt and pillow were actually the same ones that Yan Luoyue got when she first talked about it.

This alone is enough to show that the Great Elder is experienced and well prepared.

It is worth mentioning that although only half of the people present were covered with quilts, it was not because there were not enough quilts.

It was because of the great elder, who slowly covered everyone with the quilt. He covered it all night long, and when everyone woke up, the quilt was only half covered!

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Sang Ji woke up at about the same time. He was also clutching a small floral quilt tightly in his hand, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of shock.

"As expected of you, the turtle clan!"

Judging from his expression, this meal brought a profound (and outrageous) understanding, which will probably be engraved in the young man's memory for a long time...

——————————

Last night, everyone fell asleep after being talked by the great elder.

Although the elder was kind enough to cover them with a small floral quilt, their sleep quality was poor after spending the night on the chair.

Considering that Yan Luoyue is still a little turtle and is still in a very important growth period, Yan Yu specially wrote a leave note for Yan Luoyue and asked Yan Gan and Sang Ji to take it to school.

Yan Ganyi directly expressed his envy at this arrangement.

"I'm sleepy too, Sister Yu, can't I ask for leave?"

Yan Yu looked at his cousin coldly.

You know, not long ago, when Yan Gan just entered school, he told her confidently, "School is good, it's very different from the tribe. As expected, big kids go to school, and if you don't go to school, you are not a big kid!"

The words are still ringing in my ears, but what about my positive attitude towards studying? Was it eaten by the great elder?

Yan Yu laughed, thinking that she already knew it.

"It's not hibernation time now, what's the point of me writing a note for you? If you want to ask for leave, go and see your parents and write it."

After dismissing Yan Gan lightly, Yan Yu turned to Sang Ji, and his expression became much gentler and more polite.

"I don't think these two kids thought of this before they invited you to their house. Do you want a note to ask for leave? If you need one, I'll write it down and let my brother take you over as well."

Yan Gan widened his eyes and protested loudly: "Sister Yu, this is not true!"

Sang Ji glanced at his buddy, smiled evilly, and said deliberately:

"No, it's not hibernation now. Sister Yu, why should I write a note for leave? If I want to ask for leave, I can ask my parents to help me write it."

Yan Gan's eyes widened immediately because of this backstab: "Dude, this is not true!!!"

The two brothers went to school noisily.

Yan Luoyue was left alone at home, but she was not idle either.

Yan Luoyue slept for an hour to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

It was a sunny day and the time was leisurely, which was perfect for Yan Luoyue to carry out some meaningful activities - for example, refining a guiding compass.

These days, Yan Luoyue has collected a lot of handy materials in Yingcai, Yuemingji and even Zhaoxinju, and just arrived at the strange fire of heaven and earth "Falling Flowers" the day before yesterday.

Everything is ready, the east wind is coming, and Yan Luoyue is full of confidence in the process of refining the weapon.

She summoned the pink fire of peach petals and let it stand prettily on her fingertips.

Then he placed all the necessary materials in front of him, picked up each one, and introduced them to Fanfan one by one.

In the game "One World", there are two main ways to control the strange fire.

One tendency is to cultivate the strange fire as combat power, and the player uses one or several special mental methods to erase the consciousness of the strange fire.

From then on, the player can manipulate the strange fire as if it were his own arm, and can also train the strange fire into a special attack method.

However, once the player does this, the alien fire will always remain in the original state when it was captured.

The power and ability of the alien fire no longer change.

The second way is to cultivate the alien fire as a pet, assistant, or even a partner.

This method allows the alien fire to absorb enough experience and energy during the process of refining instruments or elixirs, and gradually grow.

Based on the different positions of exotic fire, players have different ways of nurturing exotic fire.

There are people like Yan Luoyue, who, as long as they have similar personalities, are willing to rummage through all kinds of broken baskets, and then slowly teach the materials one by one when refining the weapon.

There are also people who just buy a spirit ball, put the strange fire inside it, and don't take it out until it is needed.

Once upon a time in the game, Yan Luoyue knew a local tyrant.

Even though he didn't make weapons, Bhutanese medicine, or fight with strange fire, he still found many weapon makers and made dozens of sets of clothes with strange fire.

——Clothes made of special materials specially made for different fires!

As one of the weapon refiners who received the order from the rich man, Yan Luoyue couldn't help but ask the other party, wanting to know what he regarded the strange fire as.

Could it be a goose or a female goose?

This makes sense logically.

As a result, the rich are indeed rich.

He confidently told Yan Luoyue: Nuannuan! Of course he is raising her as Nuannuan!

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Back to the present, Yan Luoyue asked herself, probably she couldn't treat the strange fire as warmth.

But whether it is to help the exotic fire improve in the refinery or to explain the material characteristics for the exotic fire, Yan Luoyue is willing to do it.

After briefly introducing the materials to be used, Yan Luoyue worked with the strange fire to run the guiding formula for refining the device.

When everything was ready, Yan Luoyue held his breath and concentrated, a look of concentration appearing on his face.

She sat cross-legged, pinched her fingers, raised a pink flame in the air, pointed at the furnace, and shouted softly, "Go!"

The next second, the entire furnace was illuminated, and the flames were reflected in Yan Luoyue's bright eyes.

She methodically put the ingredients into the furnace one by one.

Compass refining begins.

…

It took two and a half hours before the fire in the furnace went out.

While the pink flame is smelting the materials, it is also nourished by the materials.

This has given it a lot of experience.

Although this was its first time to refine a weapon, because of Yan Luoyue's proper guidance and the excellent quality of the weapon, the size of "Luoyingpinfen" was obviously larger than before.

The little flame was so excited that as soon as it came out of the furnace, it swayed and jumped in front of Yan Luoyue like a disco.

Not to mention, it actually had a pretty good sense of rhythm, and Yan Luoyue consciously clapped his hands twice with it.

It was not until he almost sang the tune of "Tie the Horse" that Yan Luoyue came back to his senses. He coughed lightly and checked the finished product in the stove.

In the smelting furnace, a red compass lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

There are pointers and grooves on the compass. Just put the corresponding objects into the grooves and the pointer will automatically lead to similar breath.

Under the sunlight, dark light flowed on the red compass, and the three-element pattern explained its identity as a spiritual magic weapon.

The quality of a magical instrument is closely related to the material, the quality of the flame, the level of the refinery, the skill of the refiner, and the technique of the refiner.

If someone said outside that a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage could actually refine a spiritual-grade magical weapon, he would probably be laughed at loudly by many people.

Even the young master of the Lu family, a recognized genius in refining magic tools, could only refine spiritual magic tools during the foundation-building period, and he could not succeed every time.

If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage could easily refine a spiritual-grade magical instrument, then, what kind of superb techniques and skills would she have to make up for the damage done to her cultivation? !

Yan Luoyue picked up the compass without blinking, held it in her hand and looked at it, feeling that she was not disappointed.

After a little searching, she came up with a name.

"Well, let me think... I am a little cutie for refining your strange fire, and I am also a little cutie for needing you to find a snake. I am also a little cutie for being a little shameless."

"Well, let's name this compass 'Little Cuties'!"

Don't ask why Yan Luoyue always gives a name to each new piece of equipment he refines.

The question is just a bad taste of gamers.

Yan Luoyue opened the handkerchiefs that had been wrapped several times, revealing a small snake scale hidden inside.

Even though it has been out of the body for a long time, the snake scale is still emerald green and crystal clear, like a beautiful jade.

There is a cool green color condensed on the surface of the scales, which makes people unable to help but fall in love with it.

Yan Luoyue carefully moved the snake scales to the compass groove, and the next second, the compass needle suddenly started spinning wildly.

With each breath, the pointer turned gradually and steadily, pointing firmly in one direction.

"Red..."

When refining the "little cuties", Yan Luoyue's pointer appears in different colors to express the distance of the breath.

Among them, from near to far, the seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, in order.

And the meaning of red is close at hand.

Seeing the color of the pointer, Yan Luoyue was a little surprised and a little surprised.

Could it be that after the little snake quietly slipped away, it never left too far, but always lingered nearby?

If this is true, Yan Luoyue would have one less reason to investigate the Lu family.

But if the little snake can live safely and freely, Yan Luoyue will be truly happy for it.

Following the compass, Yan Luoyue quickly found the end point of this journey: a courtyard outside the Turtle Clan.

The moment I looked up at the gate of the courtyard, long-lost memories gradually awakened in my mind.

Isn't this the courtyard where she first met the little green snake? It's the one used to entertain passing monks.

In The Story of Falling Moon, the little green snake first escaped from this courtyard, right?

A premonition gradually arose in his heart, but Yan Luoyue's expression remained calm.

Following the guidance of the compass, she came to a corner, dug the ground, and soon found a snake scale buried under the soil.

It was a light green piece, small and delicate, exactly the same as the one that Snake left a message on.

But there is no little snake here.

"That's actually the case." Yan Luoyue finally figured out the connection and whispered to herself, "It looks like this scale was left by the little snake."

She remembered that it snowed the day after the little snake escaped.

This snake scale was probably covered under the snow at that time, and was washed to the corner of the wall by the melting snow in the spring, and was gradually buried by dust.

Until today, it was rediscovered by Yan Luoyue, just like picking up a lost story in the cracks of time.

Shaking his head slightly, Yan Luoyue thought half-jokingly: The little green snake left a scale in the yard, and then left another scale on his desk... This is the second time, are the scales so easy to fall off?

She had only experienced domestic cats shedding hair, but had never experienced wild snakes shedding scales.

However, this is different from the scene where the furry people are flying.

Yan Luoyue imagined the ground covered with shiny scales, and thought she looked pretty good!

Putting the second scale into the compass groove, Yan Luoyue moved the pointer again.

"Okay, after all, we still have to go to Ruyi City to take a look... Well, let's go to the school first and call Mr. Jiang."

In this way, once the guess is confirmed, they can skip the intermediate links and kill and bury the criminals immediately... Well, Yan Luoyue meant that in this way, the malicious software can be nipped in the bud.

————————————

The bright moon shines over the nine provinces, some are happy while others are sad.

When Yan Luoyue was refining a spiritual magic weapon and using a compass to find the direction of his horse, there was a completely different scene in the underground secret room of the Lu family in Ruyi City.

On the walls of the underground secret room, more than a dozen spirit beads were inlaid as energy day and night lanterns, but the brightness was adjusted to the lowest.

This is because there is a lack of lighting in the Demon Realm all year round, and there are very few sunrises in a day. In the case of Oita, there is only a bright moon hanging in the sky.

The brightness is close to the moon's, which is the brightness most monsters like.

In such a dim secret room, everything seemed to have a frightening color.

Even if it was just a long shadow reflected on the wall, it seemed to be rendered like a butcher's knife.

Or maybe, it was the shadow of a butcher's knife.

The alien demon, who was well-fed in a pile of brocade, left its comfortable huge and soft place at some point.

It dragged its long body, still secreting amniotic fluid, and circled around the corner of the wall.

The alien demon raised its sickle-like forelimbs and kept fiddling with the cage lock. Occasionally, it poked it into the keyhole teasingly, making a clicking sound from the spring.

This is of course unnecessary, but it's part of the fun of monsters.

It's like a squirrel marking its own pine cones and burying them in the soil.

The same is true for this heteroseraph.

It would frequently take its food out of the cage, hold it in its palm or on the ground, look at it, and fiddle with it to make sure it was still fresh before putting it back into the cage.

Because the species of heteroseraphs naturally like to do this.

This lock was only replaced three days ago, but the lock core has been rusted by the Heteromorph. All the previous locks have suffered the same fate.

Last time, it was the broken lock that gave the little snake in the cage a chance to escape.

But with the experience from last time, the Allosaurus would not allow the little green snake to escape under its nose even if the cage door was wide open.

The little green snake was apparently already familiar with the process of the alien demon checking food, and was fed up with it.

He coldly lifted the nictitating membrane on his eyelids.

The dark pupils, like obsidian, reflected the purple shadow of the alien demon, and something slowly slid out between its legs.

There was a strong fishy smell in the air, a mixture of the monster's amniotic fluid and smelly blood. It was the Allopathic Demon that had given birth to another useless monster cub.

The alien demon's sickle-like forelimbs hooked through the little monster's body.

It put the newborn thing to its mouth, without chewing it, and swallowed it with a gurgling sound, then swallowed the food into its stomach.

Not until the entire set of movements was completed did the Heteromorph react. A twisted look of ecstasy appeared on her green, fanged face.

"Wait, you just...did you fail to..."

From giving birth to swallowing the food, it did not feel the slight numbness during this process!

Does this mean that it has the necessary conditions to completely digest the food and swallow it?

The next moment, the alien demon stretched out a long stream of sticky saliva, which flowed from the corners of its mouth where its big teeth protruded all the way to the top of the cage.

The crystal green little snake noticed the threads of saliva and shifted its body in disgust.

He flipped open the nictitating membrane and took a deep look at the alien demon.

This glance only made the other party laugh uncontrollably.

"It's ready to eat... I don't feel any pain or itching at this glance. It doesn't feel any pain or itching at all!"

Almost impatiently, the matriarch used the hook of her sickle to unlock the lock.

It dragged the little green snake out of the cage, grabbed the bloodstained body of the snake, and placed it on the wider part of the sickle's front limbs.

You know, this little snake monster's scales and flesh contain a poison that is difficult to detoxify.

This is also why this one chose poison as its food and was so obsessed with it.

In the past, the Heterodon would not dare to approach the little snake with its bare front claws.

Because in a very short time, the venom of this little green snake caused a large area of ​​the alien demon's skin and flesh to rot.

But today, whether it was because the little green snake was too weak or because the alien mother demon ate the poison, the quantitative change finally turned into a qualitative change.

The alien demon held the little snake demon in her hand and kneaded it into a round shape and flattened it for a long time, but it only caused the alien demon's skin to itch slightly.

The alien demon danced wildly in ecstasy and muttered to herself.

"It looks like the food will be ready soon. We can start eating now... slurp slurp... Such a good tonic..."

"Hey." It suddenly pressed its yellow eyes close to the little green snake's head, "I'll ask you again, do you really not want me to raise you?"

The green snake hissed slightly, and its pale pink tongue moved rapidly in and out, as if it was mocking someone without stopping.

He answered this question for the umpteenth time with the same answer.

"Fuck your legs, old man."

"...Okay." The Allother Demon nodded, with saliva already forming a large pool on the Arthropod's chest. "Well, thank you for the treat."

The next second, it opened its mouth to almost 360 degrees, just like the "slit-mouthed woman" in a ghost story.

The Heteromorph used the sharp sickle head to pick up the emerald and translucent snake body, and swallowed the little green snake directly as if drinking a sip of soup or swallowing a grain of rice!

——————————

On the way to the school, Yan Luoyue happened to meet Shen Jingxuan.

After being expelled from Shuilian Temple, Shen Jingxuan currently has no particular place he wants to go.

It just so happened that the turtle tribe had a connection with Buddhism, and she came here by chance.

At Yan Yu's request, Shen Jingxuan decided to stay in the Turtle Clan temporarily.

Seeing Yan Luoyue going out alone, Shen Jingxuan naturally had to ask her a question.

She said she was going to school. Shen Jingxuan thought about it and felt that the child should not go far away alone.

"I have fought before. The school is far away, so I'll take you there, okay?"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yan Luoyue refused several times but to no avail, and finally, she still refused to let Shen Jingxuan see her off.

But to be honest, considering Shen Jingxuan's amazing sense of direction, it's hard to say who will take whom this time.

At least, Yan Luoyue is now considering: First, where to leave Shen Jingxuan.

Otherwise, Yan Luoyue was really worried. She had just gone out with Mr. Jiang, and when she returned to the academy, she learned that Shen Jingxuan was missing...

However, the wisdom of this decision soon became apparent.

Not long after Yan Luoyue and Shen Jingxuan left the clan land, a gloomy, cautious and experienced middle-aged man blocked their way silently.

Shen Jingxuan did not know the leading monk, but Yan Luoyue's eyebrows jumped.

She shifted her gaze nonchalantly, trying to get away from the chief monk quietly.

But the next moment, the leading monk moved and blocked the two of them again.

Shen Jingxuan asked, "I wonder what you have to teach me, benefactor?"

The chief monk turned a deaf ear to this and stared straight at Yan Luoyue, revealing a smile of sudden enlightenment.

"So it's you...little girl, I'll remember you."

When he looked at Yan Luoyue, the leading monk finally remembered where he had seen the wooden hairpin.

Back then at the Yueming Fair, he was actually fooled by this girl who pretended to be stupid. It was really like hunting geese for years, but ended up being pecked in the eye by the geese.

Yan Luoyue still looked ignorant. The chief monk sneered and inserted a hairpin into his hair in front of her.

Yan Luoyue: “!!!”

This is her...Xiao Ming Reservoir!

Also, this guy is so bold that he even dares to wear Xiao Ming's reservoir on his head?

As the thought crossed his mind, Yan Luoyue couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.

Although this strange color was fleeting, as the leader of the Foundation Establishment Stage monks, he had already accurately captured this clue.

He chuckled hoarsely: "You really do recognize this hairpin. I'm not mistaken, you were the one wearing it at the Yueming Gathering."

Finally, he found someone who was related to the real boss. All his investigation was worth it!

After setting his sights on the demon clan, the chief monk accidentally learned a piece of news: not long ago, at the Talent Competition, the Canglang Sect had distributed a thousand storage bags as registration gifts.

With such a large number, how come no one has told us where the Canglang Sect purchased it?

The person who doesn't sell Canglang Sect storage bags is the same person as the one who sells Yijian Sect storage bags?

Following this clue, the leader monk learned that before the storage bag, the Canglang Sect had once encountered a magical medicine called "Little Turtle Paste".

Huh? Turtle?

To be honest, up to now, any news about the demon race can touch the sensitive nerves of the chief monk.

Soon, the chief monk found out that his mother's name "Ercabbard" was actually a vulgar name chosen by many demon tribes, and the turtle tribe happened to be one of them.

The chief monk: "..."

Your mother! Your mother!

At first, he thought that "Ercattle" was equivalent to "Erwa" and "Erlang" in the human race.

Who would have thought that "Ercattle" could actually correspond to the human race's "Ergou"!

This bumpy and difficult experience of searching for someone is hard to recall.

At least for now, the chief monk feels sad just thinking about it.

The chief monk followed the clues and found out, based on the keyword "turtle", that there was indeed a turtle monster studying in the school run by Gui Yuanzong.

It is said that this turtle demon had a good relationship with Jiang Jianjun of the Guiyuan Sect, and was even taught by him privately, a "Tun Tu Jue".

Until this moment, everything has finally come to light and the truth has been revealed.

It turns out that the mysterious weapon refiner who was always covered in a black robe, young and promising, completely inhuman, and who had lent the wooden hairpin to his sister, was none other than the young man who had met her once at Yueming Collection - Yan Gan!

After confirming this, the leader's heart was just like the name of this little bastard.

——Fuck!

When the chief monk mentioned the word "hairpin", Shen Jingxuan subconsciously glanced at his head and recognized the wooden hairpin that was wedged into the monster's corpse.

“…”

The next moment, Shen Jingxuan placed one palm in front of his chest and chanted a Buddhist name.

"Amitābha Buddha, there is no need to explain, I already understand. You are here to cause trouble, right?"

It was the first time for the chief monk to hear such a mix of Buddhist verses, and he was stunned for a moment.

Just when he was distracted for a moment, Shen Jingxuan's fist was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and it was already in his face in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jingxuan pressed forward, his tongue like spring thunder, a layer of light golden light appeared on his skin:

"Nun Ming, let's be honest. I was the one who killed the monster. Why are you here making trouble for a little girl?"

"...You killed him?" The leader sneered and glanced at Shen Jing's dark forehead.

"It's not that I look down on you. Little Master, you are a nun, why do you wear a hairpin?"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

It is said that one should not scold bald people in front of monks.

This chief monk actually asked about the hairpin in front of the nun, which really made Yan Luoyue realize what a low-sounding way of speaking is.

...Couldn't he be more roundabout and ask Shen Jingxuan indirectly how many years it had been since he became a monk?

While Shen Jingxuan and the chief monk were fighting, Yan Luoyue took the opportunity to take out his communication stone.

After the communication stone was "broken" last time, Yan Luoyue added another one, and added Jiang Tingbai's communication stone in at the first opportunity.

There are thousands of roads, but safety comes first. Once there is danger, shaking people is the most important thing.

As soon as the communication stone was turned on, Yan Luoyue rushed to the other end of the stone and shouted: "Sir, help me--!!!"

Her enemies stripped her of her identity and came after her!

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was not difficult for the chief monk to deal with Shen Jingxuan.

Although the little nun's punch was powerful, it only caused him some minor scratches.

Instead, it was Yan Luoyue's words that distracted the leader monk even more.

To be honest, this familiar feeling, without any pretense at all, instantly reminded the leader monk of some classic scenes.

For example, someone who had just been rescued picked up his robe and ran away, looking very much like the ostrich black robe weapon maker...

Is this a family tradition, or...?

Before the leader monk could figure out the key point, Shen Jingxuan attacked with another punch.

The chief monk's eyes turned sharp and he pushed the little nun away.

He was just immersed in his own thoughts and didn't deal with it seriously. Didn't this ignorant little nun think he was weak and could be bullied?

Now, Yan Luoyue had already called for reinforcements, and he didn't have much time left, so the leader monk became ruthless.

He first burst out ice blades like knives all over his body, cutting through the golden light protecting Shen Jingxuan's body and forcing the man to retreat two steps.

Immediately afterwards, the chief monk stretched out his arm, intending to grab Yan Luoyue and bring him over.

No matter who the black-robed weapon refiner is, he is related to this little girl and cannot be separated!

Buddhist disciples have always been compassionate.

Once he captured this little girl, the little nun would be nothing more than a piece of living meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered and dealt with by him.

And he just had to escape before the reinforcements arrived.

In a flash, the plan took shape in the leader monk's mind.

His plan was not unsophisticated, nor was it ruthless, and it was extremely feasible to implement.

If there was any surprise, it was that he miscalculated two things.

The first thing was that because Shen Jingxuan acted too quickly, he didn't have time to pull off the hairpin on the leading monk's head.

And now, Xiao Ming's reservoir suddenly began to deduct his blood.

It was not until the nosebleed started to flow that the chief monk realized something was wrong.

Wait, didn’t it always take a quarter of an hour after I wore the hairpin before the damage started to appear?

Why is it so much earlier now?

Yan Luoyue: Silly, because you have entered combat mode.

The second thing was that the little girl with a childish face did not wait foolishly for him to reach out and catch her.

She suddenly took out a beautiful necklace of the same type as the one on her neck - this necklace was actually elastic and instantly became as big as a hula hoop, directly putting the chief monk inside!

Yan Luoyue issued a final warning: "I advise you not to act rashly, or I will fall flat on my face!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you!"
