Rebellious Contract Beast

Brilliant fireworks appeared in the sky and disappeared quickly, but this was not the last one. More fireworks exploded in the sky, and the bang-bang-bang sound echoed endlessly.

Tsurumi Chuyun on the bed put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked at the fireworks that were blooming outside in a daze.

call out!
boom!
Wow~
The fireworks in the distance didn't know how many times they sounded, but they finally stopped, and the land under the night returned to the tranquility it should have had.

Shen Yi retracted his gaze and continued to lie on the blanket.

Tsurumi Chuyun lay back, but she did not read any more, but looked at the brilliant lights outside in a daze, as if her mood had followed the disappearing fireworks.

After about four or five minutes, she must have thought about something clearly. She looked at Shen Yi and stretched out her little foot to touch his scales, and asked with a smile: "Xuanli Xuanli!"

"hold head high?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Do you want a late-night snack?" Shen Yi asked casually, without even opening his eyes.

"No, I just asked you if you were hungry."

"Why do you ask this?"

"I forgot to make alchemy today."

"If you want to practice, just get up and practice. When have I ever stopped you?"

"Do not want to."

"I don't want you to talk about this, so turn off the lights and go to bed."

"I still have some beast-enhancing pills, do you want to take them?"

"Bring it here." Shen Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at her seriously.

Now he feels more and more that the old witch is a bit weird today. Look at what kind of medicine she is selling in her gourd. Anyone who dares to tease him must make her cry today!
When He saw that Chuyun didn't know what he was thinking, he waved his hand when he heard that he wanted it.

"Here."

Shen Yi looked down and saw a bunch of pills on the blanket. The Yun Beast Pill and Pei Yuan Pill were mixed together. There were hundreds of pills in total.

"Eh~" Looking at these elixirs, he couldn't understand even more. Would the old witch really care whether he had taken the elixirs?

Normally, when the old witch forgets to make elixirs, she never asks herself if she is hungry. Even if she does think about it, it is because she is urging her to do so, and she reluctantly gets up to make elixirs.

Her behavior was indeed abnormal today.

Shen Yi's claws had nowhere to rest. He looked at the pills on the blanket and then at He Jian Chuyun's face, and his mind became even more confused.

"Eat."

"Wait a minute, you saved these beast-enhancing pills, right?"

"Well, all the beast-enhancing pills I saved are here."

"It's a holiday today? Are you so willing to do so?"

"No, but today is your birthday. I was in a hurry to prepare it, but you are not interested in preparing it, so I will just make do with it. This is all the elixirs I have."

"birthday?"

"correct."

"This..." Shen Yi was confused at first, and then suddenly realized that it had been a year since he came to this world. He had never told anyone about his real birthday, and the old witch didn't know either. It is said that the day when Jieming Dharmaji himself was born into this world is his birthday.

After realizing this, Shen Yi's eyes became complicated when he looked at He Jian Chuyun.

I'll go, old witch, don't play the emotional card.

He was speechless for a moment and could only shout in his heart.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, you have your heart."

"Hehe, as long as you are happy." After hearing Shen Yi's words, she breathed a sigh of relief and seemed much happier lying on the bed.

And Shen Yi sighed and threw the pills into his mouth one by one.

The atmosphere became quiet, and halfway through taking the elixir, Shen Yi said quietly: "Old witch, my birthday is actually not on this day."

"When was that?"

"This... I can't tell, even today." Shen Yi grinned. In his previous life on Earth, he was born after 00 and had a birthday on January th. People in this world use the lunar calendar, and the lunar calendar is very important to Shen Yi. It was strange and familiar at the same time, because he only used the New Calendar, and the lunar calendar was used by the older generation in previous lives. He didn't know which month and day of the lunar calendar January th corresponded to, so he couldn't answer it.

"uh-huh."

"By the way, when is your birthday?"

"It's over." When he said this, Tsurumi Chuyun had already turned his head back, looking at the ceiling as if he was in a daze again.

She suddenly remembered that when the Tsurumi mansion was not wiped out, she looked forward to her birthday every year, because she would receive many gifts on that day, and the third prince, whom she could not usually see, would show up to congratulate her.

She doesn't know when she started forgetting this important day.

The day that was supposed to be her birthday passed by so easily that she couldn't even remember what happened that day. It seemed like she just had a little fight with Xuan Li?
probably.

"It's passed... No, didn't you answer the question incorrectly? I asked you when your birthday was!"

"Why do you ask?"

"fine."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, it's the fifth day of May next year."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Xuanli, what gift will you prepare for me on my birthday tomorrow?" Hejian Chuyun leaned half of his body to the bedside and looked at Shen Yi with shining eyes.

The other party glanced at me and said angrily: "Aren't you embarrassed to ask this?"

"What's so embarrassing about this?"

"That's about it. Don't expect too much from me. I might forget about it by then and prepare a gift for you. Hey, do you want the immortal weapon?"

"sure!"

"Go ahead and dream, you still want an immortal weapon with these pills, tsk~"

"Then I will practice more for you tomorrow. If you are not satisfied, just tell me what you want. I will buy it for you."

"I want the elixir, the kind that can increase my cultivation level for thousands of years."

"...Do you think I look like an elixir?"

"picture."

"Then you eat me up."

"Is this what you said?"

"Um... ah!"

"I'm starting!"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

"Forget it, for the sake of celebrating my birthday, I won't do anything to you today. Go to sleep."

"There's no one like you~"

"..."

The night passed quickly.

In the early morning, Shen Yi rinsed his mouth and spit the water into the basin. His eyes were immediately attracted to the bamboo tube on the table. "Why did you take this thing out again?"

Tsurumi Chuyun, who was concentrating on refining the elixir, said without looking back: "I'll take it out and see if it's inside."

"Then?"

"no response."

Shen Yi stretched out his paws to pick up the bamboo tube and shook it twice, but there was indeed no response.

"Hey, is the black son still there?"

"..."

"Okay, don't say anything, right? I'll burn it for you now."

Da da da!
"Isn't this still there?"

Tsurumi Chuyun looked back and didn't say a word.

The evil spirit in the bamboo tube seems to be more stubborn than soft...

At this moment, Wu Gong's shout came from downstairs.

"Little girl! Little girl! You've packed up, it's time to go!"

"Oh! Here it comes!" He Jian Chuyun responded quickly, stood up and used his spiritual power to take out the elixir refined in the alchemy furnace and handed it to Shen Yi. Then he put away the alchemy furnace, took the bamboo tube containing the evil spirit, and put it in After hanging it casually around his waist, he hurried out with Shen Yi.

At the back door of the restaurant, Wu Gong and his four friends had already packed their luggage and were waiting. As soon as He saw Chuyun coming out, he mounted his horse and said, "Let's go."

"Follow me, let's go towards the south gate."

"Are you familiar with the road?"

"We have never been here, how do we know? But Lao Zhang and I just went to inquire about it. Keep walking to the southwest, towards Jinxi Village. We can get to Jianmen Pass the day after tomorrow."

"Have you found out who those people who arrested you are?"

"No."

"No matter what, if we leave Jianmen Pass, what does it have to do with us even if the Great Sedum falls?"

"Uh-huh."

"..."

The distance from the back door of the restaurant to the south gate of the capital city was far, and it took the five of us on horseback a short time to get there.

But when he saw the city gate, Wu Gong's expression changed, and he pulled the reins to stop the horse underneath him.

"Why are there so many defenders?"

I saw soldiers in armor everywhere at the city gate, all with serious faces. All caravans and pedestrians entering and exiting from the city gate were stopped for interrogation without exception.

There were too many soldiers, and what they saw was only part of them. There were more outside the city gate, and the air was filled with a chilling air.

Normally, the defenders in the city would not carry out such strict interrogations of pedestrians. This was obviously unusual. Several people immediately realized, could it be because of what happened yesterday?
However, no one gave them an accurate answer. Wu Gong frowned and looked at it for a while, then dismounted from the horse in the distance, and then used his eyes to signal the others to dismount.

"Little girl, wait here while we go over and take a look."

"I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's go."

After a brief exchange of words, the five of them approached the city gate pretending to be idle, but they did not get too close. They stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate, leaning against a wall and chatting about home affairs naturally. Several people were observing the situation at the city gate.

After watching for a while, Wu Gong asked in a low voice: "How is it? Are there any acquaintances over there?"

"No, boss, they are all people I don't know." Wu Sheng responded, while their eyes were always on the soldiers who were checking household registration.

Whether they can leave or not depends on their faces. It's easy for Tsurumi Chuyun. After all, the identity of "Mu Yinxiang" she made is genuine, but Wu Gong and the others can't. Used at once.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Wu Gong shook his head. In all likelihood, it was because of them that such a situation occurred. However, after looking around, he did not find anyone with too high a level of cultivation. The few powerhouses from yesterday were not here either.

After thinking about it, it should be that those people yesterday suspected that they and others might appear in Dalan City, so they asked these soldiers to conduct an interrogation. However, it was just suspicion. This was the only good news, but it was unclear whether he was there or not. I'm not sure, after all, now is not the time to randomly use senses to investigate.

Wu Gong suddenly felt troubled and originally wanted to take a look in other directions, but he quickly gave up the idea. The south city gate was like this, and the exits of the city gates in other directions were probably in the same situation. It would only be a waste of time in the past.

"Little girl, I remember that your household registration has the official seal of Dajing. How about you go there first?"

"Then what do you do?"

"We'll find another way."

"Don't do anything stupid."

"No, no, you have seen this situation now. It is not easy for us to go out. Rather than delaying you here, it is better for you to set off first. At worst, we will meet up in Jiangzhou." Wu Gong was a little helpless. Said, of course they know that forcing their way out is the stupidest way. There are so many soldiers. If they choose to force their way out, they are simply going to die. There were so many things happening yesterday. If they want to leave the capital, the safest way is to It’s time to wait until the storm subsides.

Listening to Wu Gong's words, Hejian Chuyun frowned. Just as she was thinking hard about a solution, the bamboo tube hanging on her waist suddenly made a "ta-da-da" sound, which was very urgent.

Several people's eyes were attracted by the bamboo tube.

"what sound?"

"It's this bamboo tube."

"Why does this bamboo tube sound? Is it a magic weapon?"

Tsurumi Chuyun quickly took off the bamboo tube and explained: "Oh, this bamboo tube is not a magic weapon, it contains an evil spirit I caught before."

"Evil? When?"

"When we were still in Beiting City."

"Why do you carry this thing with you?"

"Well... I originally wanted to get rid of it, but I put it in the storage space and forgot about it."

"Oh, what evil is inside?"

"Ordinary people like to call it Black Son, have you heard of it?"

"Black son, of course I've heard of him, how did you catch him?"

"Let's talk about this later." Tsurumi Chuyun walked to the side, shook the bamboo tube twice, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

Da da da da da!
The bamboo tube shook more rapidly. In the space of consciousness, Shen Yi couldn't help but said: "We can't hear it talking inside, so you can find a way to make it speak."

Tsurumi Chuyun blinked and glanced around. At this time, it was making noise inside, which seemed a bit inexplicable.

As if she had thought of something, she asked the bamboo tube uncertainly: "Can you help us in any way?"

da da da da~
The voice coming from inside was still urgent, and the evil spirit seemed eager to prove something.

"Don't worry, as Xuanli told you yesterday, if it's you, ring once, if it's not you, ring twice."

Before he finished speaking, the bamboo tube made a "click" sound.

Seeing that Chu Yun was silent, He looked at Wu Gong and others, and they hurriedly asked: "How can the evil spirits here help us?"

"I don't know." Shaking her head, Tsurumi Chuyun took another look at the soldiers checking passers-by at the city gate. She probably understood something, took out the flower god hairpin, bit her index finger and poked it on the bamboo tube. There was a hole, and she didn’t know what she was doing. Anyway, she finally put her hand on the hole on the bamboo tube, and a faint sound of wind came from inside.

"Okay, try speaking now, we should be able to hear you."

The bamboo tube became quiet. After a while, a strange sound that seemed to be mixed between male and female came out, but it was very weak.

"I can help you get out of the city smoothly, but you have to promise me that after I help you, you have to let me go."
