Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

"Damn Taoist priest, have you found the wrong way?" The little Bifang on Daoyi's shoulder looked dejected.

Daoyi himself was not very strong, but he was still confident, "I followed the compass. This is our Jiuxiao Temple's ancestral inheritance. There can't be anything wrong with it!"

The man and the bird looked at each other in bewilderment.

In this damn place, they would rather go to the wrong place.

The little Bifang had already passed the excitement, but Dao Yi was so annoying that he didn't let it hide in the bag all the way, saying that he was looking for a companion to chat.

It likes fire, but without food, its joy is reduced.

I don’t know what’s going on in this place, the spiritual energy is so thin.

Without spiritual power, you can’t even find food.

No matter how delicious the preserved tortoise meat was, I got tired of it after half a month.

Jiu Niang was so hot that her fur was almost sticking together, so Daoyi threw her into a cloth bag to rest.

It was such a hot day, Daoyi didn't want to hold it and rest.

Taoyao supplied people and animals along the way. The spiritual energy in this area is thin, so it is now short of supplies. It lies on Daoyi's other shoulder, without any intention of moving.

There was no village in front and no shop behind. After walking for a while, there was still no one in sight.

One person, one bird, and one peach tree, they barely found a place to enjoy the cool air, and they all stayed there, and when asked, they didn't want to move.

Now we have found a place to rest, but what is more important is where to find food.

"Taoyao, do you think bird meat is delicious?"

  The peach tree is trying hard to take root underground and absorb some water:?

Unless it changes to the path of magic, why would it eat humans? Wouldn't vegetarian food be better? Even if it really falls into the path of magic, it still likes vegetarian food the most.

The little Bifang on the side was so hungry that his mind was not clear, but his body instinct was still there. Upon hearing this, he "whoosh" and ran away from the man and the tree.

"Don't even think about coveting my body, you stinky Taoist priest!" Little Bifang wrapped himself tightly with his wings.

Dao Yi: "."

  It seems like she didn't do anything to offend it, right?

As if afraid that Dao Yi would target it, the little Bifang stared at the cloth bag around her waist and came up with an idea.

"Little Taoist priest, you can tell fortunes, right? Why don't you tell us which direction we should go to find food?"

If they don't eat something, they might starve to death on the way before they find the people from the 'Five Character Tribe'.

It is indeed a divine beast, but it is just a weak cub. If it does not have food for a long time, it will fall into a deep sleep.

The more Little Bifang talked, the more reliable he felt. "Little Taoist priest, quickly tell me your fortune."

Taoyao had never seen Daoyi tell fortunes before, and she stared at her curiously.

Dao Yi sighed: "Where did the corpses in the old nest of the Five Characters in Yunwu Mountain go?"

Apart from the skulls of the Crown Prince and Pei Shisanniang, the 'Five-Character Tribe' had killed so many people that they couldn't find them even after searching the entire mountain.

Weren't they talking about food? Why did she suddenly ask this? Little Bifang didn't understand, but he thought about it for a while, "Maybe you two didn't look carefully enough, or maybe the 'pig' didn't tell you the truth."

Daoyi could see clearly that the people who were killed were in the depths of the cave where the Yellow-robed Venerable was, but when they went to look for him, they found nothing.

She sighed deeply, "The Five Characters really didn't give us a chance to survive, and didn't even leave us any monster corpses."

The little Bifang looked at her with horror. She wondered if the little Taoist priest had really fainted from hunger and was planning to attack it.

However, Tao Yao, who was quietly replenishing the groundwater nearby, figured out something.

It asked tentatively: "Master Xiaoyi, don't you want to tell fortunes?"

Dao Yi: "."

Daoyi was speechless.

She recalled that she had had her fortune told twice. No wonder the fortune teller couldn't tell her fortune. Each time, the fortune was vague and rough. The first time she had her fortune told, it showed that she would meet a noble person, but she ended up being arrested and thrown into the prison of Pu County. She did meet the noble person, but the way they met was a little undignified. The second time she had her fortune told, she honestly hid at Chen's house. The noble person, Wang Xuanzhi, came again and ruined the fortune she was telling. Not long after that, he resigned from his post. The two of them had been on the road, applying for fortune telling.

Lu Gua: Minor success, Lu Zhen is auspicious.

Another time, fortune-telling showed that Yang Tiangan stayed in the Wei family.

Hmm, I miss Xiao Tiangan a little. I wonder how he is doing lately.

Speaking of her benefactor, I wonder where Wang Xuanzhi is with the human bones and Xiaotong. As for Shi Yang and Fu Xi, they were said to be meeting at Qian Yong's house, but they had never seen them there. Even Lin Erbai was gone.

If I hadn't calculated their horoscopes, I would have known that their lives were safe.

It wasn't that easy for her and Wang Xuanzhi either.

The more Daoyi thought about it, the more he felt that it couldn't be calculated, and the more he calculated, the sadder he became.

She made up her mind and said to Little Bifang, "Little Fatty, you are a mature bird now."

Little Bifang tilted his head: "?"

"As a mature bird, it's time to learn to find its own food."

Daoyi pointed to the distance and said, "I see there seems to be a small forest ahead, maybe there is food in it."

The little Bifang jumped onto her shoulder, but she couldn't see it at all. Then it flew over her head, but she still couldn't see it.

  Finally, it flew into the air and saw a small black dot made up of only a few hundred trees.

Little Bifang really wanted to hit it on the head twice.

Daoyi patted his belly and touched Taoyao, "Little Fatty, I can't move right now, and Taoyao can't walk as fast as you, so our lives are in your hands~"

Little Bifang's words of refusal were stuck in his throat.

Although it felt something was wrong, it still resigned itself to flying towards that place.

Taoyao's soul rolled its eyes. What a silly bird it was. It completely forgot its skills.

As soon as Xiao Bifang left, Daoyi hooked his finger at Taoyao.

Tao Yao: “?”

Taoyao didn't understand, but it still stretched out a branch and placed it in Daoyi's hand.

Daoyi: "Taoyao, I asked you to put your ear close to me, where are your ears?"

The peach branch froze, then quickly stretched out another branch and put it close to Daoyi's mouth.

Daoyi mumbled something in Taoyao's ear.

After Taoyao retracted the 'ear' peach branch, a closer look revealed that the branch was straighter than before, and the roots in the soil were also a little deeper.

Daoyi was leaning against that strange tree, closing his eyes and seemed to be really asleep.

There are dozens or even hundreds of fruits on the strange tree, each of which is almost as big as a human head.

The peach trees faced the hot wind, shaking their branches, and their leaves soon closed, just like humans wilting due to lack of water.

The hot wind fluttered against every person and every tree, little by little, as if testing something.

Gradually, the wind was no longer just hot, but also stuffy, as if a person was thrown into a furnace with the doors and windows closed.

The sunlight shining directly on Daoyi and the others no longer had that scorching feeling.

The man and the tree seemed unaware of all this.

Until the little Bifang went out to look for food and flew back with an empty stomach.

Looking at the dark mass in front of it, it screamed: "Little Taoist!!!" (End of this chapter)
