After a little research on the origins of those people, Qingyan felt a little sleepy. When it became quiet outside again, she felt that no one would come this time, so she yawned and prepared to sleep.

As a result, it felt like I had just closed my eyes for a while when I was woken up by a loud noise.

She almost sat up in shock, but was patted by Qingzhu comfortingly, so she didn't get up.

Without opening his eyes, he looked outside with his spiritual consciousness. First he looked on the street in front of the inn, but found nothing strange. Then he looked into the backyard, thinking that there might be a thief from behind.

Although the sound didn't sound like it was coming from the backyard, after all, there were jade articles on the six cars, so maybe it was a conspiracy of the thieves.

As a result, she found nothing strange in the backyard. She then opened her eyes and sat up. She looked at Qingzhu who was sitting up together and said to him: "There was a loud noise just now, right? I shouldn't be dreaming."

Qingzhu nodded, "Yes, I heard it too, it was a loud sound. I just used my consciousness to look at it, and I didn't find anything unusual."

At this time, there were voices coming from the rooms next door. When I listened carefully, I was awakened by the sound and were discussing this.

Qingyan listened to the sounds of those who were guarding the windows and looking at the rooms in the backyard. Unfortunately, they found nothing. They only stared at the backyard. As long as the backyard was fine, they couldn't see anything else. .

Qingyan was about to send a message to Chou Chou to see if it knew that Chou Chou had already contacted her first.

"You are all awakened. I have already investigated. It was a thunderstorm that just struck a willow tree by a lake in the north of the town.

The willow tree must have been hundreds of years old. It was quite thick and was split in half. Because there was no fire or anything, you didn't notice it. I only discovered this when my consciousness covered the entire Shayin Town. of. "

"Split a willow tree?"

Qingyan frowned. When she just checked, she didn't find that the weather was going to change again. At least it didn't look like it was going to rain soon. She didn't see lightning either. Why did such a big thunder suddenly come?

He also split a willow tree that was several hundred years old, which looked a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.

Another thing is that the willow tree is also called the shade tree. It is the place where ghosts like to live and possess. Couldn't that thunder just hit some kind of ghost? Then the spirit was in the willow tree.

Qingyan thought so and asked, Chou Chou replied, "Let's take a look again."

After a while, he replied: "It's true, I found a small tree hole in the center of the tree trunk, and there was a fox that was hacked to death."

There really is!

When Qingyan heard this, she also used her spiritual consciousness to explore it. Now there was some moonlight faintly revealed in the clouds. She could only vaguely see a big tree that was split into two halves, but the rest could not be seen. She was very curious about the fox. It looks like I can only watch it tomorrow...

wrong! If it is a vixen, will placing the corpse there attract other monsters? If other monsters eat the corpse or inner elixir, they will be able to cultivate themselves like a green bamboo.

She sent a message to Chou Chou: "The fox should be a monster that has already achieved Taoism, right? Its body is placed there, will it be eaten by other monsters?"

Chou Chou: "Yes, but the fox's Taoism was not high. He probably just entered the profession not long ago, and he probably didn't correct his path or follow the right path, which resulted in the death of people, so he was struck to death by the divine punishment."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows and guessed: "Did she turn into a beautiful woman to absorb people's yang energy?"

Chou Chou: "..."

Where did you learn this from? You know a lot at a young age.

"What's wrong? Isn't it? Then how can it harm people? It can't just bite them to death, right?"

When she didn't hear a reply, Qingyan thought she had guessed wrong and continued to guess.

Chou Chou sighed, and then replied: "The little fox was born no more than twenty years ago, and it has not been practicing for too long. Didn't I just say that it has just started, and it is still early to transform.

But if a demon wants to harm people, it doesn't have to change into a human being to do so. Even a little demon who has just gained some skills can easily kill ordinary people.

Such as causing accidents, or using innate magical powers, like foxes and weasels, their innate abilities are to confuse people and create illusions. As long as they confuse people, they can use the created illusions to make them commit suicide. "

Qingyan nodded, "I see. Is it really okay to leave the fox's body there? Do you want to put it away first?"

Chou Chou: "I have already received it in the dimension. Not to mention anything else, the fur is much more beautiful than that of an ordinary fox. When I get back, I will make it into a scarf for you."

Qingyan's eyes lit up and she asked curiously: "What color is it?"

Chou Chou: "It's brown and red, and the fur is very thick. Although it was struck by lightning, the fur was not damaged. Only the top of the head is a little burnt. It will be repaired when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, I like it. I know that Chou Chou is the best. He always thinks of me first in everything. He is indeed the most powerful Zhu Yan."

While Qingyan was happy, she also didn't forget to flatter Chou Chou.

Chou Chou was very pleased with what he heard and said to Qingyan: "This mature fox fur not only keeps warm, but also has some defensive functions. It is invulnerable to water and fire. When Jin Yang comes back, he can draw some patterns on it for you. Maybe It can also be used as a wedding dress.”

Qingyan's eyes lit up even more after hearing this. She didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. If it could be made into a robe with defensive functions, wouldn't it be more secure in the future?

The two of them were discussing how to deal with the fox skin. Some people in the inn and outside couldn't sleep, especially those who were more curious. They couldn't sleep at all because of the loud noise and scratching their heads.

The third young master was one of them, and he wanted to go find out what was making the noise.

It was his guards who managed to stop him and separated the two of them to go out and have a look, so they didn't insist.

As for the outside of the inn, there are also people like this among the local residents in Shayin Town, especially the ones that are relatively close to the lake. Because they are so close, they don't dare to sleep without knowing anything about it.

A few of them had even gone there looking for them. Of course they were not alone. They had woken up several neighbors, and one person from each house came out, and several people carried lanterns and went there. Because we were closer, we not only heard the loud thunder, but also felt the vibration when the tree was chopped.

After all, it is a big tree that is hundreds of years old. If it is split open, the movement will not be too small.

Although there are no homes by the lake, there are people living not too far away, only about a hundred meters away.

So soon someone looked for it, but the fox's body had been cleaned up by Chou Chou in the space. Those people could only see a split tree, and nothing else could be seen.

When those people saw the chopped willow tree, although they had various speculations, they did not stay there for long.

After all, there was water all around, and it had just rained, so the ground was very slippery. It was not a safe place at night. If I fell into the water, I would be in trouble, so I hurried back after watching it.

Speaking of the two men of the third young master, they also went over there looking for the sound. Of course, they were not looking for the sound of the loud noise, nor the sound of the willow tree being chopped, but the town residents who went to check. the sound of.

The town was not very big, and the people over there were holding a few lanterns, so they could easily be spotted, so they followed them and took a look at the scene there not far away, one step ahead of those people. He left and soon returned to the inn.

When they came back, they reported the situation there to their third young master, and also told the third young master what those people had guessed about the chat.

After talking to his master and satisfying his curiosity, he waved his hand and sent him off to rest.

This incident made Qingyan regain her energy. She couldn't sleep for a while, so she just started chatting with Qingzhu.

The conversation was about the cultivation of monsters and monsters. In fact, Qingzhu couldn't explain this clearly. After all, it was only luck that allowed him to reach this level. The so-called cultivation was also directly accepted from the inheritance of other people's Neidanli. I really don't know how to practice from scratch. .

It was entirely due to luck that it encountered two opportunities, one was a golden toad and the other was a suspected inner elixir of a dragon. This kind of experience is probably not easy to come by once in a thousand years.

So the two of them were talking about this purely based on speculation. After a while, they couldn't continue talking.

Just when they didn't know what to do, they heard Chouchou message them saying that Jin Yang was back.

It's just that I spent a lot of energy after setting up the formation for a day, so I didn't show up at the inn and just rested in the space.

But it has returned to their side, so if they want to enter the space, they can do so at any time.

Qingyan and Qingzhu looked at each other, that's okay. Since I can't sleep, let's go into the space to play for a while and see how Jin Yang is doing.

So the two of them entered Jin Yang's space directly. They didn't see Jin Yang after entering, so Qingyan sent a message to the other party to ask.

Knowing that it had consumed too much and had merged with its clone for cultivation, I felt relieved.

The clone is the one who stays in the space and acts as the sun. When they are fused together and cultivated together, they will recover faster. Qingyan and the others will not disturb each other anymore.

After a while, Chou Chou and Huang Jin also came in. After saying a few words, Qingyan felt a little hungry. After discussing, they decided to make some midnight snacks.

So the four of them went to the mountains and the lake respectively. Qingzhu and Qingyan went to the lake to catch fish, and Chou Chou and Huang Jin went to the mountains to catch pheasants and hares.

They planned to get more meat to eat, but they had no choice. The dinner was really not that good, so they drank hot soup to keep their bodies warm, and the food was just make-do.

It’s not that the ingredients are not bad, it’s just that the cooking skills of the cooks in this inn are average, which is the level of home-cooked food, and the quantity is still small. The average person can probably eat eighty percent full, but they all have big appetites and only eat half of it. full.

The Yang family was there at that time, so they couldn't afford to add another portion, so they made do with it, thinking that if it didn't work out, Chou Chou would bring some snacks out for comfort at night.

Now that Jin Yang is back, they can cook and eat it now.

Qingyan and Qingzhu caught the fish with a dip net very quickly. They came back after catching five or six fish weighing one or two kilograms. They were going to grill them. Such a big fish was just right, but it was too big to be cooked well.

Not long after they finished packing the fish, Chou Chou and Huang Jin came back. They brought back a total of five wild rabbits and three hares, which were definitely enough to eat.

Pheasants and hares are meant to be grilled and eaten. Although beggar chicken is more delicious, it takes too long to cook, so it is better to grill it directly on charcoal and sprinkle with barbecue ingredients.

They made a fire pit directly in the open space in front of the yard and put the charcoal they bought before. It was easy to ignite and it burned red in a short time.

I added a shelf on top, and just put the chickens, rabbits and fish that have been packed up on it. Moreover, the pheasants are not very big, although they are fatter than the ones outside, each one only weighs about two or three pounds.

When they finished cleaning it, they split it in the middle so that it could be easily flipped and cooked.

When it was about to be roasted, I don't know if the fragrance spread too far. Not only were the four bears in the nearby cave attracted, but even the tiger family of three came for a stroll with Yuan Bao.

Not to mention the four bears, they live near the vegetable garden. The valley where the tiger lives is far away, so I don’t know how they smell it.

After asking Yuan Bao, I found out that they had been wandering around here before. Because Qingyan and the others had not come in for two days, Yuan Bao was a little worried, so he brought the little tigers over from time to time. The two big tigers came to look for the children. Didn't this just happen to happen?

Now that they are all here, we can't just let them watch helplessly. We have to give them a taste. However, they don't hunt many prey. These guys are big eaters, so we might as well let Yuan Bao take them to hunt again. Just bring some back and continue baking them when they are cooked.

Yuanbao and the others moved very quickly and came back in ten minutes. They shot ten pheasants and ten hares at once. Qingyan and Qingzhu continued to bake their food. Chouchou took the gold and four bears and made two more fire pits. , and picked up the pheasants and hares by the way.

After they were done, the ones here were also grilled. Four bears were given a piece of grilled fish, a tiger was given a piece of grilled chicken, and the rest was given to Qingyan.

Just let them taste it first. If you are used to it, wait for the ones that are baked again. If you are not used to it, you can put away the rest after they have finished baking them.

Originally, the little tiger was not included. After all, its teeth had not yet grown fully. Unexpectedly, the little guy became unhappy and kept moaning. Qingyan was so cute that she couldn't help it, and finally she tore a small piece of meat from it. , let it be held in the mouth and the head will act as a molar.
