After handing in the cub game

"Peacock? No one here raises this precious thing, and I haven't heard of anyone raising it in a village a hundred and eighty miles away."

A woman in her 50s put the water ladle back into the bucket, raised her hat, and waved her hands to the three people standing by the vegetable field, showing a vigilant look: "Young man, go sell it elsewhere." , I don’t raise it.”

Yan Jue was slightly embarrassed: "No, we are not selling. We heard peacocks singing on the mountain, and thought it was lost by the farm, so we came here to ask."

"Then there is no more. Our farm here only raises chickens, ducks and pigs, and no one builds the factory on the mountain. Not to mention the money for development, it is too much effort to send fodder, and it is a waste of gas money. .”

"Young man, where did you come from?" The aunt turned to the guest: "Did you come to Bali Mountain to play? Let me tell you, don't go to the mountains these days."

She also didn't understand why people would come to climb the mountain in the hot weather, but she still reminded her: "Have you seen the nursing home at the foot of the mountain, just walk there, don't go into the mountain. "

"Why can't you go into the mountains?" Zhang Zizhen showed the most well-behaved and kind smile to the aunt in his life, "Auntie, please tell us, we are from other places to play, we don't understand anything, is there any taboo?"

The aunt had been looking at the top of Zhang Zizhen's head, but now listening to him, she hurriedly added: "Well, we don't believe in religion either. The people in the town have said to believe in science, so we all remember it." Don't even think about it. Fudge me.

Zhang Zizhen: "..."

It's hard to be an orthodox priest.

Yan Jue let out a muffled laugh, took half a step forward to cover Zhang Zizhen's figure, and asked gently: "That's his personal hobby, and the wig he wears for photo albums is stinky. Auntie, is there any danger in the mountains?"

This reason is reasonable, the aunt seems to understand, but seeing Yan Jue's open and bright temperament and the silent Wen Xuyang's upright appearance, she is no longer so defensive, standing where she is and doing homework.

"Yes. Isn't it summer vacation? Some children come back from the city and insist on going to the mountains to play, clamoring to pick wild fruits and mushrooms. Where can there be mushrooms in summer? There are also some bubbles. Ah, what kind of wild fruit, nothing else to look at, but the child is curious about everything, anyway, the family all went."

Zhang Zizhen couldn't help answering: "And then?"

According to the general development of the plot, it must be that the family encountered some strange things and suffered misfortune, right?On his first day on the job, is his second job finally about to start?If you do one more thing, you will have a little more hope of being promoted, and you will be closer to various internal news.

"Then?"

The aunt didn't know how sinister Zhang Zizhen's heart was in order to get promoted, so she said calmly: "Then the family heard the wild boar's cry in the mountains, so they came back in fright."

"I heard from others that the family heard tigers and wolves howling and other wild beasts." The aunt looked disbelieving: "It's outrageous for me to say that, I have been married to Balishan for so many years, and I have never heard of it. I heard that there are tigers and wolves in the mountains."

"Be careful, because there is a high possibility that the wild boar will go down the mountain. You can't kill the wild boar alone. And isn't it said that the wild boar is a protected animal? If you hurt it, what will you do if you go to jail? If it hurts you , how do you call for help on the mountain?"

This awareness, these words, are deafening.

Yan Jue couldn't help praising: "Auntie, what you said is really reasonable. It's a big deal for a wild boar to go down the mountain. Have you notified the relevant departments to go up and see it?"

"As I said, some people went to see it, but after a few days of monitoring, nothing was found in the end. I can only remind everyone to be careful and not go to the mountains in the near future."

"Well, thank you, we must not go to the mountains. You are busy, we will go first."

They randomly found a tree and hid in the shade, and the three of them exchanged the information they got from the aunt.

"There is no farm, so is it a wild peacock?"

Wen Xuyang popularized science to Zhang Zizhen, who has no common sense: "It is impossible for us to have wild peacocks here, just like we will not have wild pandas here."

Zhang Zizhen scratched his head: "Could it be that I've been awake all night and misheard, so it's impossible to mishear several times, right? My memory is not that bad."

Yan Jue guessed: "Is it another animal called split fork, sounds a bit like it?"

"Why don't we go into the mountains and have a look?" Zhang Zizhen suggested: "I heard the sound very close last night. It should not be far from the nursing home. A person who can make such a loud call must not be too small."

"Did you forget that my aunt said that there might be wild boars coming down the mountain?" Yan Jue refused: "It's not that we have to go into the mountain, there's no need."

No matter what kind of animal that sounds like a peacock is, people live well in the mountains, so they don't have to go and find out out of curiosity.If you are unlucky and encounter a wild boar, there is nothing to say if you use a talisman to injure it in order to escape.

After all, they were rushing to go, so it can't be considered an accident.

Zhang Zizhen didn't have to know what it was, Yan Jue and Wen Xuyang both disagreed, so he stopped thinking.

It was getting late and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The three of them didn't go back to the nursing home anymore.

Zhang Zizhen didn't sleep all night, and now he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and simply went to catch up on sleep. Wen Xuyang went back to his room to deal with business and practice diligently, while Yan Jue stayed in the room alone, not knowing what to do for a while.

In the past at this time, he was always running around in various shopping malls or performance venues, and when he was suddenly idle, he was a little at a loss.Just like he just resigned from the company, he can sleep until he wakes up naturally every day, but his biological clock makes him get up on time at six in the morning, which is really uncomfortable for a while.

I have nothing to do, so I have to practice.

Sitting cross-legged, Yan Jue closed his eyes and calmed down.

When a loud bell rang, he opened his eyes and regained his senses. Apart from the blankness in his eyes, only the humming in his stomach was particularly uncomfortable.

"Teacher, I'm sorry." Ah Qing knelt down next to his hand on his lap with tears in his eyes, "I accidentally pressed it and don't know how to turn it off. I'm sorry, I woke up the teacher."

"It's okay." Yan Jue patted Ah Qing's head, "Why are you here? Didn't you..."

As he was talking, he picked up his phone and turned off the software that Ah Qing accidentally opened. Before he finished speaking, he stared blankly in place.

On the phone, the current time was clearly displayed as [-]:[-].

"Ah Qing, wait a moment."

Yan Jue only had time to say a word, then rushed out of bed, opened the curtains and looked outside, and then checked that the phone was normal. He couldn't believe it and said, "I've been asleep for so long?"

Although he did fall asleep quietly because he was too focused and relaxed when he was practicing before, it never took so long, from around [-] in the morning to [-] in the afternoon.If he hasn't shown up for so long, Brother Wen probably thinks something happened to him.

"Teacher?" Ah Qing looked puzzled at Yan Jue who was standing by the window in a daze, walked to the pillow and lifted up a piece of paper: "Teacher, an uncle left a note for you while you were sleeping." oh."

Yan Jue went to pick it up, moved his legs, and when he took a step out, he found something was wrong.

After sitting cross-legged for so long, his legs should have been as numb as yesterday, making people want to saw them off, but no, his legs were intact and relaxed, no different from usual.

Seeing that the teacher stayed in place again, still staring at her legs, Ah Qing scratched her head, wanting to call Nuoer to ask what happened to the teacher.

There seems to be something wrong with the teacher, it's broken...

"Hey Hey Hey……"

Ah Qing was frightened: "Teacher?"

Yan Jue rushed to the bed, picked up Ah Qing and rubbed it against his cheek, "Ah Qing, I have really started to practice!"

A detective once said: Eliminate the impossible, and the rest, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth. ①The reason why he sat cross-legged for so long is fine, it can only be because he didn't sleep before, but felt that the spiritual energy had entered into a samadhi!

Although he has not been able to fully engender his energy, he believes that he is not far from success.

"Ah Qing, are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?" Yan Jue put down the dizzy Ah Qing, took out a big box from the drawer and opened it, "Look, I brought many kinds, which one do you want to eat? "

Ah Qing looked at Yan Jue, put on a big smile when he understood, and said happily, "Congratulations, teacher, the teacher is awesome!"

The teacher told him why he changed his place to live, and he was very happy for the teacher when he heard the teacher said that his goal had been achieved.After being happy, he will worry about choosing what to eat.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and took a Yuhua stone: "I will eat this."

"good."

After unremitting efforts, after giving Ah Qing a taste of all the harmless ores that could be bought, Yan Jue found out the taste of different ores in Ah Qing's mouth.

Metals such as gold, silver and aluminum have a salty taste; jade and jade have a cool and sweet taste; Taste of astringency or bitterness; of course, no matter whether it is dyed or not, ordinary stones eaten by Ah Qing are the same as if they were not eaten at all.

As for the coal he was curious about, in Ah Qing's mouth, it was crispy and tasted like a salty cracker.Lingshi has a warm and sweet taste, and can provide Ah Qing with a lot of energy.

While Ah Qing was eating snacks, Yan Jue picked up the note left by Wen Xuyang.It said that he didn't see him when he was eating, and he couldn't get in touch with him, so he opened his door with the key. Seeing that he was practicing, he didn't bother him, and passed the note to Ah Qing.

How did Wen Xuyang know that he was practicing and not sleeping?Is there something else he doesn't know?

Thinking of this, Yan Jue asked Xia Xuyang's location, took Ah Qing in his hands and went to his room.As soon as he entered, Zhang Zizhen was there.

"Brother Yan, I heard you succeeded?" Zhang Zizhen wanted to poke a hole in Yan Jue's body, "What does it feel like to entrain Qi? Did you wash the tendons and cut the marrow to expel the dirt in the body like in the novel?"

"I'm disappointed, I haven't succeeded in enticing you yet." Putting Ah Qing on his shoulders, Yan Jue pushed him away and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard what Brother Wen said at noon, and when I saw him leave a note for you, I guessed that you would definitely come, so I waited here early in the morning." Zhang Zizhen's eyes were glued to Ah Qing again, "Brother Yan, Who is this……"

Yan Jue introduced the two of them to Ah Qing, and said simply: "This is Ah Qing. You can't tell anything about other secrets, and don't ask me. I won't say anything."

He sat down on the sofa, looked at Wen Xuyang and asked curiously, "Brother Wen, how do you know I'm practicing?"

"I called you a few times, and even pushed you, but you didn't respond. Guess." Wen Xuyang was equally curious, "Do you have any special feelings?"

Zhang Zizhen hurried over and sat down, listening humbly.Even though his eyes couldn't help but kept drifting towards Ah Qing's body, he looked at Ah Qing and hid behind Yan Jue's neck.

Holding Ah Qing to prevent him from falling, Yan Jue rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "I don't know either. When I woke up just now, I thought I fell asleep, but I realized that I was sitting cross-legged for hours. Ma, there is nothing unusual to guess that I am in meditation, not falling asleep."

"No more? Did nothing special happen?"

Yan Jue spread his hands: "No. Special things, maybe I can't feel them until I really get angry."

Zhang Zizhen was not disappointed either, he clenched his fist and said, "Very well, I'm going to sit cross-legged for several hours and work hard without numbness in my legs!"

Wen Xuyang glanced at him when he heard the words, and Yan Jue always felt that his glance was full of complaints about "this man is a fool".

"Brother Yan, can I stay in your room when I practice tonight? If you can enter meditation, it means that you have attracted aura. What if I can also take advantage of the trend and become enlightened?" Zhang Zi sincerely said: "I'll just sit On the ground, it does not take up space."

"Okay, Brother Wen can come too." There's nothing you can't agree to.

Wen Xuyang nodded: "Excuse me."

A time was agreed, and after the matter was settled, Yan Jue could finally devote his attention to his stomach, went to the cafeteria to ask the chef to make some noodles, and after eating, he went back to his room to play games with Ah Qing and Nuo Er, Announced his good news.

Honestly, it's really hard not to share things like this.

In the evening, the three of them gathered in Yan Jue's room. The sofa was a bit narrow, so Zhang Zizhen and Wen Xuyang had to sit on the ground.Yan Jue was a little embarrassed to sit on the bed alone, but it was always a bit awkward to let the two of them come up. Anyway, there was a carpet on the floor, so he didn't say much.

According to the usual procedure, he carefully closed his eyes and imagined the location of the acupoints, calling for spiritual energy.I don't know how long it took, but when he was in a daze and was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt a few more firefly-like lights in front of his dark eyes after he closed his eyes.

He focused carefully, watching more and more fluorescent lights soberly.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a roar of a beast was like thunder, so close that it sounded in his ears. Yan Jue was startled, and opened his eyes to look out the window.

"tiger?"

The two people on the ground also got up with solemn expressions. Wen Xuyang walked quickly to the window to see what was going on outside, but he didn't expect to pull the curtains. A yellow cat jumped up from the window sill and jumped three meters away. The wall is gone.

At the same time, the lights in the nursing home were brightly lit, and human voices gradually sounded.

Zhang Zizhen's voice was a little weak: "Brother Yan, there is something wrong with my eyes, why did I see that the cat just now had three tails?" There is no place for the cat to stand outside the window, so how did the cat stand upright.

"You read that right."

Wen Xuyang, who was closest, said in a deep voice, "There are indeed three tails."

"Cat demon?" Yan Jue was surprised, "Is there a tiger screaming just now? There are tigers in Balishan?"

Wen Xuyang took out the phone contacts.After the roar of the tiger just now, the nursing home will definitely contact the people from the relevant departments, and he has to ask the above to intercept this matter before talking about it.There is nothing wrong with the tiger, if you accidentally bump into the cat demon, there will be an explanation.

Yan Jue thought of one thing inappropriately: "It turns out that what my aunt said, it is true that the family heard the tiger's cry."

"What time is it, Brother Yan, are you still talking about this?" Zhang Zizhen was excited: "The cat monster, that's a cat monster! How long has it been since the spiritual recovery, the three-tailed cat monster has already appeared."

After he finished speaking, he saw that there was no movement in the room, turned his head and saw that Yan Jue and Wen Xuyang were staring at him, and asked nervously, "Why, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"It is known that the original body of the cat demon must be a cat. Now that the spiritual energy has just recovered, a cat has cultivated into a demon and has grown three tails?"

Zhang Zizhen didn't understand: "What's the matter. Isn't Mr. Burning Wind still a three-tailed fox?"

Yan Jue: "...haha, yes."

Excuse me, unable to communicate.

In fact, Yan Jue is really not worried. The very well-informed officials will definitely catch the cat demon. At worst, there are various props on his side, and Zhang Zizhen, a Taoist priest, will not let him go.Tigers don't even have to be afraid.

Compared to these, he is more concerned about: "I just saw the aura."

Yan Jue described it, and said with regret: "Unfortunately, when I was trying to draw them into the acupoint, I was interrupted."

Zhang Zizhen didn't care about the cat monster anymore, he was as happy as he saw it.

Wen Xuyang frowned, and said hesitantly, "You also practiced yesterday, Young Jue. I went to watch the monitoring during the day, and there was nothing abnormal in the nursing home last night. Why did the cat demon come today?"

It's good that he came here to try to cultivate, but protecting Yan Jue is also his task, and checking the monitoring in the courtyard is one of the things he must do.

Yan Jue understood almost after he finished speaking: "Could it be because I have gathered aura?"

Wen Xuyang nodded: "Very likely."

"If that's the case, when our people come, won't I lure them here if I practice again? It's just a chance to catch a turtle in the jar."

If they want to catch the cat demon, they can only rely on themselves, and they must not let anyone guess that they may guess, and they have to experiment one by one.

Yan Jue patted Zhang Zizhen on the shoulder, "Do you have any talisman seals that can trap living beings? If you have any, quickly look for them, and if you don't have them, quickly draw them. You, the only Taoist priest, are useful."

"That's right." Zhang Zizhen slapped his forehead, "Grandma, I'm also a civil servant, so I have to work so I can't watch the excitement. Brother Yan, Wen, I'm going back to make preparations!"

After the people left, Yan Jue came to Wen Xuyang: "Zhaofeng has something to do and hasn't come back yet, tell me what you need later."

He didn't doubt Zhang Zi's true ability, but just in case.

After the staff of the nursing home knocked on the door one by one to appease everyone's emotions, a helicopter arrived not long after.

For the sake of safety, Wen Xuyang asked Yan Jue to stay with him. Now that his own people came, he took him and Zhang Zizhen down to pick them up.

At night, the view is limited and it is still in the mountains. To find the tiger, professionals need to follow the tiger's whereabouts to confirm it. It is easier to catch the cat demon.

It's just that this matter can't be done in a nursing home, so they have to go up the mountain together.

Zhang Zizhen and Wen Xuyang walked in the front. He had a mahogany sword in one hand and a talisman in one hand. He was wearing a bun and wearing protective clothing with night vision goggles. Stay and look at him.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition, Yan Jue uncomfortably supported the night vision goggles he was wearing, trying to distinguish the road under his feet from the black and white scene.In his arms was something like a gossip plate.

That is a portable enchantment specially sold by Tianchen Continent to mortals, and it can be activated immediately by tearing off the talisman paper on it.The effect is not large and the range is not large, and it cannot block the attack. The only function is to make the sound and scene in the enchantment blurred and not spread out.

Just right for them to use now.

After a group of people came to an open space, Yan Jue chose a place to sit down, activated the formation disk and began to practice.The soldiers formed a circle with their backs to him, and Zhang Zizhen held his breath while holding the talisman, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

At first there was only the sound of chirping insects in the forest, but as time passed, the chirping of cicadas suddenly sounded in the forest.The meowing didn't last long, and after one or two short meows, the roars of dogs, peacocks, tigers, and even unknown beasts got closer and closer.

In the mountains and forests late at night, being surrounded by the roars of beasts is definitely a psychological test.

Suddenly, Zhang Zizhen's eyes froze, and he raised his hand to move the talisman to the left.

After the sharp meow of the cat, the people wearing night vision goggles saw a wild cat of unknown fur, with only one eye in the center of its head, and three tails behind it, lying down towards them three meters away. bared his teeth.

Zhang Zizhen hurriedly urged the talisman to attack the monster. Every time a spark ignited, an invisible rope would wrap around the monster.

Seeing that the monster was almost unable to get up under the pressure, it still struggled desperately, using its paws to keep throwing around trying to escape.Every time it opened its mouth, the forest became more and more lively, and the sounds of any animal could be heard.

Zhang Zizhen was sweating profusely, and he stuffed the Taomu sword into the hand of a soldier beside him, and quickly formed seals on his hands to gather the ropes made of talisman papers together until the monster's four claws were stuck to his body strangely, and he could no longer move. He was relieved.

Going forward, he covered the monster with a black cloth, wrapped it up and stuffed it into the iron cage brought up by Brother Bing. Zhang Zizhen wiped off his sweat and smiled triumphantly: "I caught it, luckily I didn't disgrace my life."

"Brother Yan, Yan..."

Wen Xuyang covered Zhang Zizhen's mouth, "Look carefully, don't disturb."

Only then did Zhang Zizhen realize that Yan Jue, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a painful expression on his face with his brows tightly frowned, and there was more sweat on his face than he had been busy with, as if washing his face.

His eyes lit up: "This is, are you going to successfully entrain your breath?"

He was wrong, he was not the chosen one at all, but brother Yan was.
