Liuchun County is very close to Hexiu City, but only fifty miles away, and there are countless villages along the way.It doesn't seem appropriate to use the method of cultivating immortals to drive away.

Xie Changming rented a carriage and sent Sheng Liuyu up.

Sheng Liuyu hugged the cat, opened the curtain, looked at Xie Changming from inside, and asked him, "Aren't you going together?"

Xie Changming coaxed him: "Hey, I have something to do, I will find you in a while."

As for what it was, he didn't say.

Sheng Liuyu was startled and nodded.

Xie Changming seldom spoke in such a tone, he would not ask Sheng Liuyu to do or not to do something.

If most people keep pets just to get happiness from them, but Xie Changming is not like that. He pampers Xie Xiaoqi because its existence can make Xie Changming happy.

He doesn't even need to be accompanied, as long as Xie Changming knows that he is alive and well.

When Sheng Liuyu was a little bald, she was a very delicate and willful bird, but when she was a god bird, she was noble and reserved, and couldn't bear the domination of others.

But when Xie Changming speaks in a tone that needs him to be obedient, the little Changming bird will be obedient once in a while.

In the first life, Xie Changming noticed that someone had gone to Lingzhou, and when they were about to find them, they boarded the leaving boat overnight.

The boat was very small, Xie Changming hugged the bird, and said to it: "I found a blessed place, and when you get back to Yunzhou, you can go there and stay."

Xie Xiaoqi tilted his head and gave a "chirp", not quite understanding what he meant, and seemed to be asking Xie Changming where he was going.

Xie Changming smiled, did not answer Xiaoniao's question, and coaxed gently: "Be good, be obedient."

Xie Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Before he died, Xie Changming was not afraid, he was just worried about where this little waste would go.

He didn't ask Xie Xiaoqi to wait for him, he didn't say the deadline, he didn't say the reason, and he didn't think about entrusting this delicate bird to anyone.

For any one person, there are not many trustworthy people in this world.But for Xie Changming, such a person would not exist.

Even if there is, Xie Changming will not give his bird to anyone.

That's his bird.From beginning to end, it's all his.

After making the decision to raise birds, Xie Changming never made Xie Xiaoqi unhappy for more than half an hour.

But Xie Changming knew that when Xie Xiaoqi learned of his death, the tears she shed might fill up the lake in the blessed land.

In the bird life whose bald hair is not too long, Xie Changming is more important than fruits, tail feathers, gems, all the things he likes combined, and the one that cannot be lost.

When Xie Changming said he wanted to run for his life, Xie Xiaoqi threw away all the beautiful stones he had collected over the years, because those would take up space and slow down his journey.Even Xie Changming didn't have time to stop it.

If there is a kind of elixir in the world, the bird that eats it can forget its former owner and become a happy little fool again, waiting for adoption by others.

Xie Changming would not feed Xie Xiaoqi.

Even after death, he wants Xie Xiaoqi to remember himself.

He put Xie Xiaoqi in the blessed place, without telling it that he would die.Until one day, when Xie Xiaoqi finally wanted to break the agreement between them and was about to leave there, he learned the news of Xie Changming's death from the exit.

Because Xie Changming is a good breeder, but not a good person.

Always, always.

Xie Changming was slightly dazed, realizing that it was all in the past, and only he remembered it.

Sheng Liuyu stretched out his hand from inside the car, lightly touched Xie Changming's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Then you have to come earlier."

Xie Changming said, "Okay."

He gave the coachman enough silver and red envelopes, the coachman said excitedly: "Master, I will definitely send this young master there safely!"

The coachman got on his horse, raised his whip, and the official road was dusty, and he walked away after a while.

Xie Changming went to a secluded corner to do what he had to do.

The corpses of the Zhou family couple are a bit scary, but you don't have to do it yourself to collect the bones, and you can even rest elsewhere.Checking the water temple is indeed boring, but there is no need for Sheng Liuyu to leave.

There is only one reason to send the little Changming bird away: Xie Changming noticed the news of the demon clan.

It's about the Changming Bird.

The letter said that there are two everlasting birds in the world, not because the blood of the everlasting birds is noble and rare, but because the law of heaven can only allow two everlasting birds to exist.And generations of everlasting birds are all male, but they can still reproduce. Could it be that male birds can still lay eggs?Even if they could have children, with whom would they be born?

After leaving many doubts in the letter, the content ends here.

The last sentence is - if you want to know the funeral, you need to add money.

After reading it, the letter was burnt to a mass of ashes and leaked out from Xie Changming's fingers.

Xie Changming's face was cold, he didn't believe the nonsense about adding money.The matter of the Ever Bright Bird, if it hadn't lived long enough, it would be impossible for an old monster who could spy on the secrets of heaven to know about it.

Such a person would have no money?

Just to whet the appetite.

But Xie Changming still increased the money as promised.

Afterwards, Xie Changming returned to the alley and found someone to bury the bodies of the Zhou family couple.Since they came here as refugees and had no relatives in the city, Xie Changming gave the money and entrusted the burial to his neighbors.

The Water Temple is beside the Xiushui Lake outside the city.

It used to be a small temple donated by wealthy people, and only one statue was placed here.Later, with the incident of Zhou Xiaoluo, people in the county donated a lot of money and rebuilt the temple with the original statue as the center. They also invited the master in the mountain, together with his disciples and grandchildren, to come and perform the Dharma, praying for the spirit from heaven. , Protect believers.

But it's all useless.

Therefore, those rich and noble families are no longer willing to donate incense money, and the livelihood of the temple is maintained by the master going out to practice.

Xie Changming pretended to be a passer-by to pay homage to the Water God Temple, bought a little Taoist priest, and looked around the temple, but as expected, he didn't get any results.

The god statue that was treasured and protected was just a clay sculpture of wood, very fragile, as if it would crack if touched, without any divine power, it was just unfortunate that someone borrowed the name.

After doing this, in order to fulfill the promise that the little Changming bird would go early, Xie Changming flew away with magic power instead of taking a carriage.

The coachman said that the best restaurant in Hexiu City is called Yipinlou.

Xie Changming went there.

The lobby of Yipin Building was buzzing with diners everywhere, but the second floor was very quiet.

Xie Changming walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "Has a young master surnamed Sheng booked a private room?"

The shopkeeper has a deep memory of that person.

That Mr. Sheng looks like a fairy, and he is very domineering.He said he wanted a private room, but he had to wait for someone to come before he could order food, and that person was still dozens of miles away and hadn't rushed yet.

The shopkeeper politely declined.Their private rooms are very expensive and very popular, and they always wait for no one, except for those high-ranking officials, they never make such a special case.

However, he still succumbed in front of Yin Liang.

Xie Changming wanted to laugh a little, no matter where he was, a rich Fu Niao would never wrong him.

But unlike in the academy, what Sheng Liuyu squandered was the silver that Xie Changming gave him.

Calculated in this way, it can be used as evidence of raising birds in the future.

Xie Changming refused the lead of the waiter, and went to the private room on the second floor alone.

It is very quiet here, occasionally there is a low sound of pipa coming from behind a few doors.

Walking to the room Sheng Liuyu booked, Xie Changming saw that the door was ajar, with a crack, and a clear voice came from inside.

It is the waiter who is trying to sell the special dishes in the store.

"Young master, you only ordered a fried small yellow croaker and a few freshly fried seasonal vegetables, is there nothing else?"

Sheng Liuyu's voice was very cold: "No."

If it was in the academy, others would have understood the deep meaning of the little Chang Mingniao's words, and they would retreat voluntarily.But in the human world, on the other side is a waiter who wants to make money, obviously it's not that easy.

For some unknown reason, Xie Changming paused, stood at the door, and did not go in immediately.

The waiter in the shop said enthusiastically: "Young Master, our food is different from other's. It's delicious. Judging by your appearance, you must be from a big place, and you may not like our city. But you are wrong. , our place is not too big, but it has something new.”

Sheng Liuyu: "..."

The waiter in the shop beamed with joy: "For example, you must have never tasted a freshly roasted peacock. This peacock is raised on a nearby mountain. It has plump feathers and soft skin. It is a must. Our chef can also slaughter it on the spot at your place. The feathers are plucked and made..."

Sheng Liuyu: "...shut up."

For Sheng Liuyu, what the shop waiter said was a bit scary.

The Changming bird itself is also a bird, with green feathers all over its body and a long tail trailing the ground. It is somewhat similar to the peacock in the secular world.The shop waiter not only let Sheng Liuyu eat the peacock, but also let him watch the peacock being skinned and plucked. Isn't this not fratricide, it is really too cruel.

Xie Changming pushed the door and entered, and said to the waiter: "You go out first."

The waiter said: "I..."

Xie Changming said, "Go out."

After the waiter went out, Sheng Liuyu stood up and rushed to Xie Changming's side.

He blinked and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Xie Changming wanted to laugh a little: "I heard you were frightened by mortals?"

Sheng Liuyu immediately retorted: "How can I be scared!"

Anyway, he couldn't admit it.

Pausing for a moment, he became a little aggrieved again: "... people in the mortal world are so much crueler than people who cultivate immortals, you have to be..."

His tone is very cute, like a complaint after being bullied.

After Xie Changming finished listening, he asked him again: "Why didn't you stop that person?"

Sheng Liuyu sighed softly: "He is a mortal, if he uses a little illusion, his fragile soul can't bear it."

The lifespan of a mortal is like a mayfly and a tall tree compared with that of a divine bird. A mortal is very fragile and easily dies.

Sheng Liuyu has a bad temper, but she doesn't even dare to use illusion to ordinary mortals, for fear of shocking their souls, she treats them very carefully.

Xie Changming knew that the little Changming Bird had always been sympathetic to the world.

But most people in the world don't cherish it, just like just now, Sheng Liuyu had already refused, but she still wanted to talk a lot more, just to earn a little more money.

Xie Changming felt that this was a waste of the kindness of the little Changming bird.

Protecting Shengliuyu is much more difficult than protecting Xiaobald.

Xie Changming sometimes doesn't know what to do, but he enjoys it.

Afterwards, Xie Changming reprimanded little Pili who only knew how to be hugged, and didn't even know how to help the master drive people away.

Little Piley was very unconvinced, but he didn't argue wrongly again.

Because it is a kitten who is very aware of current affairs and has already seen the current situation clearly.Although Sheng Liuyu is a divine bird with a noble status, he has been raised by Xie Changming all the time, and is confused by Xie Changming's gentle appearance, not knowing his inner horror.

But it is just a kitten, there is no way to expose Xie Changming's true face, and he can only accept the reality that Xie Changming is his real food and clothing parent.

After eating in the restaurant, Xie Changming received a message from Mr. Xu.

He talked about Zhou Xiaoluo's situation, and after a day and a night of observation, he concluded that Zhou Xiaoluo's soul had not been completely swallowed, and was still struggling. As long as external force intervened, it was possible to separate the two groups of souls and return his body to Zhou Xiaoluo.

Xie Changming didn't do any research on the matter of the soul, but just listened.

Finally, Mr. Xu said: "It is rumored that in Lingzhou overseas, there is a herb called Lihuncao, which may be useful. But how to get to Lingzhou, the book..."

Xie Changming interrupted him: "I know, I'll go."

Mr. Xu was quite surprised: "At first I thought you were an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, but later I didn't. Now it seems—"

Xie Changming cut off the connection with the jade card to prevent him from saying anything more outrageous, and then said to Sheng Liuyu, "Do you want to go to Lingzhou?"
