A few people talked and laughed, and returned to Lengxiang City, a border city in the north.In fact, although Mei Yanxue is honored as the master of the northern border, what he commands is only Shuangwei City and Fengxue City.There are other city lords in the other cities in the northern border.But Mei Yanxue's high reputation, benevolence and righteousness, open-mindedness, and extraordinary demeanor, she faintly has the tendency to dominate the northern border.Several other city lords are also convinced by him, but they are always used to come to him to discuss and decide on some matters.

The owner of Lengxiang City loves plum blossoms, and plum trees are planted all over Lengxiang City. When the plum blossoms bloom, the whole city seems to be soaked in a faint fragrance, so it is called Lengxiang City.

He has always respected Mei Yanxue, and naturally he is also very enthusiastic about Mei Yanxue's younger brother Feng Jue. Seeing that Feng Jue likes to go hunting here, he donated a Lengxiang Bieyuan in the city to Feng Jue as a guest house.

Feng Jue had someone prepare a banquet in another courtyard, invited Xue Buji and his brothers to sit at the table, and gave away all the prey he had hunted in the past few days.Xue Buji gave back the black pearl as a gift.

In fact, Xue Buji was very depressed, he and his junior brother were still barefoot, and their clothes were nothing more than ordinary cloth shirts, this letter sent so many prey, why didn't they prepare two pairs of leather boots for them.

He didn't know that Feng Jue and Ji Lao had regarded them as peerless masters, and they all secretly thought that masters must be different, bare feet in snowy days might be their unique demeanor.

Feng Jue asked people to put the black pearl away properly, and was very happy. After three rounds of drinking, Feng Jue's face was flushed, and his eyes were already a little drunk.

He leaned against Xue Buji's face and said with a smile: "Senior, do you know that apart from these prey, what other treasures have I caught?"

Xue Buji smiled and said: "What else can I have? I can't even shoot down all the dragons and phoenixes in the sky, right?"

Feng Jue waved his hand and said triumphantly: "If there really are dragons and phoenixes in this world, I can get them of course! But this time, what I got is another rare thing!"

Xue Buji showed interest, and asked: "Then please ask Young Master Feng to open our eyes!"

Just as Ji Lao was about to stop him, Feng Jue pushed him away, and said with a smile: "The two seniors are all of us!"

"Seniors, the place where the beast is locked up is a bit far away, let's go there in a carriage, please!"

Xue Buji really got a bit of curiosity when he stepped on, and he and Jiang Haixi followed Feng Jue, all the way out of the other courtyard, and got into the carriage.

As soon as the cold night wind blows, Feng Jue's wine sobers up a bit, but the interest on his face is still undiminished, he is very proud, it seems to be the temperament of a teenager, he can't help showing off when he has a baby.

"Seniors, you don't know. I came here to hunt in the wilderness this time because of this legendary treasure."

"Since it is a legendary fetish, it must be a spirit beast. I don't know what it is?"

"Flame Beast!" Feng Jue raised his eyebrows, looked at Xue Buji, and pretended to be mysterious: "Seniors, I wonder if you have heard of the Scented Rat?"

Xue Buji thought to himself, I have not only heard of it, but also seen it. He nodded: "It is said that this smelling mouse has a very long nose, which can be used to find treasure. But in fact, what this smelling mouse smells is that of the flame beast. Smell, this flame beast likes to keep pearls and gems in its mouth."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Feng Jue and Ji Lao were startled.Feng Jue shouted: "Seniors, that's exactly the case! Have you ever seen a flame beast?"

Xue Buji didn't know that these were all his guesses.Since Feng Jue mentioned Flame Beast and Wenxiang Mouse, the giant beast he saw that day must have been Flame Beast.Could it be that such a mountain-like flame beast could be caught by Feng Jue?

How can it be?

Xue Buji nodded, thinking to himself, not only have I seen the Flame Beast, but I have also dug his earwax, I'm afraid your jaws will drop if I say it.

Feng Jue bowed and said: "Senior is indeed a senior. Alas, when I saw senior make a move, it was something I had never seen before. Originally, I also wanted to find a rare treasure to show to senior, but I didn't know it was just a class. .”

"The Flame Beast is as big as a mountain. It's quite remarkable that you can catch such a huge monster. I don't know how you caught it?"

Hearing these compliments, Feng Jue cheered up: "It's going to be half a year ago. Half a year ago, my senior brother, the master of the northern border, had two servants who were ordered to pick up my senior brother's nephew to the northern border. Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the way, the boy went to see the King of Hades, my senior brother and the two servants came back crying, and complained to my senior brother, I don’t remember anything else, I just remember him saying that when he met a mountain-like man The wild beast ran like the wind, and ran to the horizon in an instant, and the short-lived boy fell off the cliff at the horizon and died."

Xue Buji was shocked when he heard the words, and he exchanged a glance with Jiang Haixi.They have been away for 11 years, but he remembers it clearly. Every day, he will carve a horizontal line on the tree trunk, and every seven days, he will carve a vertical line. He will never remember it wrong.Why is it that this decision is clearly about their business, but it was half a year ago?

"This mountain-like beast must be the Flame Beast, right?"

"Exactly! I heard what these two people said. A while ago, I brought people to this wasteland in the northern border, and searched carefully. The hard work paid off, and I found it."

"This flame beast is as big as a mountain, how did you catch it?"

"Ji Lao said that this flame beast must be very greedy for gold, silver and jewels in its mouth. I ordered someone to prepare a batch of jade and pearls, smeared it with a strong anesthetic powder, and sprinkled it in front of the flame beast. The beast was really fooled, and put all these jade and pearls into his mouth, and as expected, he passed out before he could hold on for a while."

Xue Buji couldn't help admiring Ji Lao's cleverness, and sighed: "It seems that no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as he grasps the weakness, he will be able to catch him easily."

When Ji Lao heard this, he didn't know what to think, and finally said: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing."

The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and it was already far away from Lengxiang City. When it arrived at a wilderness, the carriage stopped once, and it turned out that someone was guarding the entrance of the wilderness.Elder Ji stretched out his head and made a face-to-face meeting, and the guards immediately let him go.

Going forward, there is a wilderness all around, with some vegetation growing sporadically.Not far away is a bare mountain, like a straight javelin, pointing bare at the sky.

The carriage stopped by the mountain peak, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi got out of the carriage, followed Feng Jue, and walked up the mountain.The two of them were still barefoot, the rock was covered with ice, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi could only use their internal strength to step on it, and the ice melted and smoked, which made Feng Jue amazed.

After Feng Jue drank, Elder Ji ordered someone to support him, and managed to climb up the peak.Xue Buji and the two of them, neither blushing nor out of breath, followed behind them and walked up to the peak.

I saw a continuous wilderness in the distance, covered with ice and snow, reflecting light under the light of thousands of miles of stars.The stars hang down all over the field, the cold wind blows, and there is silence between the sky and the earth. With the reflection of the snow, Xue Buji sees a "high mountain" surrounded by dots of torches in the distant wilderness. The torches form a large circle, enveloping this Mountains surround it.Look carefully, this "mountain" is still struggling, but no sound can be heard.

The distance is too far, and the human's cries and sounds cannot be heard clearly. As for the flame beast, because it still has jewels in its mouth and refuses to spit it out, it can't make a sound either.

Xue Buji clicked his tongue twice, and sighed: "I didn't expect Young Master Feng to really be able to imprison this ancient beast in a cage. It really is a hero born of a boy."

Feng Jue boasted: "Seniors, don't look at this beast's obedience now. It is actually very difficult to deal with. I tied it up with fifty fine gold iron cables, and sent another five hundred people to guard it day and night. It was really exhausting. Time consuming."

Xue Buji was suspicious, and looked at Jiang Haixi, feeling uncertain.Xue Buji suggested: "It's not interesting to watch the fire from the other side. Why don't we take a closer look?"

Feng Jue hesitated for a moment, probably unwilling to lose face in front of Xue Buji, took a few people down the mountain, got into the carriage again, and galloped away to the wilderness.

When he got close, there was a bloody smell in the wind, Xue Buji thought that someone had been scratched by the flame beast, he lifted the curtain to look, but he saw the bloody body of the flame beast, which was tied to death by several fine gold iron chains nailed to the ground.

Every time the flame beast struggled, the wound burst open. No wonder there was such a strong smell of blood here.

It turns out that this is what Feng Jue meant when he said that the flame beast was trapped by fifty fine gold iron cables!

Both Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi could not bear it.Although the flame beast was huge, it was not fierce. He and his junior were not injured except for being sprayed by it when they faced the flame beast.

Xue Buji's doubts deepened.What exactly did Feng Jue capture the flame beast for?As he said, catching this flame beast was time-consuming and labor-intensive, if it was just for bragging and showing off, the gain would not be worth the loss.He must have other intentions to catch the flame beast.

Seeing the flame beast sobbing, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi got out of the carriage and stood in front of the mountain-like body of the flame beast. They still had to feel their own insignificance.Here is a black muddy field, the snow has been swept away, and there are dots of torches burning all around. The guards in armor are in groups of ten, patrolling and guarding back and forth.

It's just that some of the large and small wounds on the flame beast's body had begun to rot, which made the two of them gasp.Feng Jue followed and said with a smile: "Seniors, no matter how rare this beast is, it is just a beast after all. Don't feel sorry for it."

Xue Buji clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head: "Young Master Feng, all things have spirits. I wonder what you plan to do by arresting this flame beast?"

Just as Feng Jue was about to speak, Elder Ji took a step forward and said, "Young master, if you talk too much, you will lose your words."

Feng Jue was silent for a while, probably already half awake from the wine, so he obediently restrained himself from talking.Xue Buji saw that he couldn't find anything out, so he smiled apologetically: "I was the one who was abrupt."

At this moment, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi looked up in horror, only to see that the mountain-like body on top of their heads moved, and the flame beast struggled to stand up.

Ji Lao hurriedly pulled Feng Jue back, Feng Jue shouted: "Tie it up quickly, don't let it break free!"

The people on the side stepped forward quickly, pulling the fine gold iron rope with both hands, causing the flame beast to be in constant pain and bleeding like a burst of blood.

The Flame Beast braced itself up and raised its palm. This big palm almost covered the clouds and the sun. When it was lifted up, blood was still dripping from the gaps between the soles of its feet, as if it was raining red all over the sky, which made everyone panic. I was stunned.
