Maybe there was Xie Shuci's temperature on the porcelain bottle, he subconsciously gathered his five fingers and squeezed it tighter.

He should tell Xie Shuci that he doesn't need it.

He never trusted anyone, and he dismissed such behavior.

This kind of intimate behavior will hinder his path of cultivation.

Rather, the existence of Xie Shuci will hinder his path of cultivation.

Connecting with other people's spiritual knowledge will cause cracks in his Dao heart.

But, perhaps, after he suppressed his murderous nature for the first time, and used the universe mirror to look back at other people's time for the first time, cracks appeared in his Dao heart.

He should stop the loss in time and prevent anything that can affect him from happening.

Seeing that the little blind man hadn't spoken for a long time, Xie Shuci glanced at him cautiously, and found that the corners of his mouth were tight and his expression was gloomy. Xie Shuci gave a "click" in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Xie An...do you not like it?"

Xie An's palm tightened, almost crushing the porcelain bottle.

"No." He shook his head slowly, and put the porcelain bottle into his arms.

Xie Shuci nodded in doubt.

Xie An neither agreed nor refused.

He won't be connected with Xie Shuci's spiritual sense, because today they can't wait for the frightened feather bird to return to its nest.

The frightened feather bird will not return to its nest, the frightened feather flower will not bloom, and he will not be connected with Xie Shuci's spiritual sense.

There was a breeze on the top of the mountain, the sun gradually rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the bare ground.

At some point, more and more human beings gathered on the mountain. Xie Shuci lay comfortably on the ground, chewing sweet and sour preserved fruit, squinting at the sky.

Cloudless and clear sky.

There was a lot of voices and crowds around, which made him suddenly have a feeling of "climbing the heights", which was quite nostalgic.

The warm sun shines on the body, it doesn't look scorching, but it makes people feel bright.

It is rare for the crane to enjoy this leisurely time, lying on the ground and dozing leisurely.

The king turned into a puppy, lying in Xie Shuci's arms, stretched lazily, drowsy.

Xie Shuci crossed one leg, hummed a little tune, and was in a very good mood.

Xie An, on the other hand, quietly leaned against the tree behind them, bowing his head thoughtfully.

It is said that the frightened feather bird returns to its nest around noon. Everyone in the mountain found a place to wait patiently. Friends in twos and threes gathered together to play, and some even brought a chessboard to meet and play games together.

What's more amazing is that Xie Shuci is very comfortable eating and drinking here, and seeing other unprepared people are jealous, so those who are interested see the business opportunity, and after a while, they are selling candied haws and other snacks in the mountains. It was very lively.

But at half past noon, apart from the increasingly fierce sun in the sky, there was no sign of the frightened birds returning to their nests.

Those who were waiting on the top of the mountain couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Didn't it mean that the frightened feather bird returns to its nest at noon? It's already half past noon, why is there no shadow at all?"

"The last few times the frightened bird returned home was at noon, and it was never late."

"Wait a little longer."

At this moment, Xie Shuci saw a familiar figure sitting in an "open-top" carriage next to him.

The man waved the folding fan calmly, and sent the maid to the mouth of the crystal clear grapes that had been peeled clean.

Xie Shuci took a closer look, isn't this man the dandy who struck up a conversation with the little blind man on the way here?

The man seemed to have caught a glimpse of Xie Shuci and the two, his eyes wandered around Xie An ambiguously, and the corners of his lips raised maliciously.

Xie Shuci immediately became vigilant. He sat up and greeted Xie An: "Xie An, come here, don't stay too far away from me."

Xie An was taken aback, raised his brows slightly, and walked towards him slowly without asking why.

Xie Shuci patted the seat beside him, "Sit here."

With a serious tone, Xie An sat down.

When Xie An entered his safe range, Xie Shuci immediately looked over at the dandy, who leaned on the low table and looked meaningfully at him.

Write a letter of thanks to the two of them.

Xie Shuci immediately looked back, not to catch the little blind man's attention!

The dandy pursed her mouth and looked away indifferently.

The audience was discussing extremely enthusiastically, and the dandy said casually: "The frightened feather birds belong to the destiny. If there is a little trouble in the destiny, it will naturally be difficult for them to return to their nests."

After hearing this, Xie Shuci twitched the corners of his mouth, whispered: "It's a trick!"

Everyone looked sideways at him twice, seeing his cynical attitude, they didn't listen to his words.

The dandy didn't care too much, shrugged, bit off the grapes handed by the maid, and didn't forget to tease the maid until she blushed and her heart beat, and then she looked in the direction of Xie Shuci and the two.

There was some contempt in his eyes, Xie Shuci didn't like it, he frowned, picked up a piece of preserved fruit, and handed it to Xie An's mouth, "Eat!"

His tone was even close to an order.

Dandy's eyes suddenly deepened.

Xie An raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care about his tone, and opened his mouth to roll the preserved fruit into his mouth.

Seeing this, Wan Dan's expression froze for a moment, and then became mixed.

Although the frightened feather bird did not return to its nest, this was a rare scene in ten years, and everyone did not leave with a glimmer of hope.

Naturally, Xie Shuci didn't leave either, he wanted Xiao Xianlan and Xie An to see how Jingyu Blossoms were blooming.

So everyone continued to wait on the top of the mountain. The king fell asleep comfortably. After waking up, he pestered Xie Shuci to play and throw stones. He didn't know what it was thinking. Learn some dog virtues.

Xu Shi was bored waiting in the stands. In the afternoon, Luo Xianyu and others found the place where Xie Shuci was, and sat together.

Luo Xianyu was wearing a veil so that her face could not be seen clearly. Little Lian and Little Xianlan followed her from left to right.

"Brother Xiaoci, we are too bored up there, so I came to play with you." Xiao Xianlan said with a smile.

Xie Shuci waved his hand and called a few people to sit down, jokingly said: "Are you looking for me to play? Are you looking for me or the king?"

The little girl and Xie Shuci were not polite, they hugged the king into his arms, rubbed his neck, "Your Majesty!"

The king stuck out his tongue out of face, and rubbed the little girl's neck obsequiously.

Little Lian looked at the pile of snacks on the ground, and said with a sneer, "You really know how to enjoy it."

Xie Shuci smiled: "That must be."

The appearance of Luo Xianyu and Little Lian attracted the attention of many passers-by, so they looked at Xie Shuci even more curiously, especially when they saw that Xie Shuci was sitting next to a man who was even more otherworldly than Luo Xianyu, He straightened his eyes immediately.

"This kid doesn't look like a rich and powerful person. Why do good-looking people like to surround him?"

"Hey! You can't be judged by appearances. Haven't you seen that Xianyu girls are courteous to him?"

"Don't you know? He was wearing the token of Joyous Union Sect yesterday."

"Joyous Union Sect? Miss Changxuan's sect? But didn't I hear that Joyous Union Sect only has female disciples?"

"You are stupid, the person who can make Miss Xianyu and Little Lian treat each other differently must be Miss Changxuan's so-and-so!"

The passers-by were discussing with their eyes wide open, and suddenly saw the silent young man next to the boy looking up at them.

It was clearly just an empty look in their eyes, but they couldn't say anything else, they closed their mouths resentfully, and turned their heads away.

The dandy in the carriage looked at Xie Shuci and the others with great interest.

Leaning halfway in the maid's arms, with a look of drunkenness, he said with a smile and a sigh: "When Patriarch Helian of Luofang City fell, Ye Changxuan also participated in it. I heard that at that time there appeared in the city a The mysterious Pill Cultivator, although there is no portrait of him to the outside world, but it is said that he is dressed in ordinary clothes and has a dignified appearance. He is accompanied by a young man who is extremely handsome, and he is called a brother to the outside world..."

"Ye Changxuan is a woman who doesn't like soft and hard things, but is willing to hand over the token to a man who is ordinary except for his appearance. One can imagine his identity." The maid behind her echoed.

Dandy let out a muffled laugh, his eyes full of interest, "Not to mention him, the handsome young man next to him is really not simple."

The maid frowned, "How do you say that?"

"Separation of soul and body."

"Seize the house?"

"Not like. I can't see the reason, I can only explain that his cultivation is far above mine."

When the maid heard this, her expression froze, and her face suddenly turned serious, "The one in the younger generation is far better than you, you mean the one from the Xiao family..."

"No, although I haven't met Xiao Xunsu, I know that at his age, even if his cultivation is much higher than mine, he shouldn't be so high."

This kind of situation made him feel unfathomable.

But the more this happened, the more interesting he found it.

"I worked so hard to get out of the Buddha Realm, but it was not in vain. This trip was worth it."

Xie Shuci didn't pay much attention to the conversations of the people around him, and was chatting with Little Lian at random.

After hesitating in his heart for a long time, he asked, "I heard before that your Flower Building is still looking for a young lady?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xianlan and the king in her arms all looked at Xie Shuci in unison.

Xie Shuci smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, I want to try."

"you?"

The corner of Xie An's mouth sank, "Xie Shuci!"

"Hey, listen to me first. I just want to experience the experience. I'm a showman without selling myself. To be honest, my talent is definitely something you have never heard of or seen before!"

Luo Xianyu looked at him in surprise, and immediately said to Xiao Xianlan: "Xianlan, take the king to play somewhere else."

Xiao Xianlan didn't know why, but she nodded obediently, and left with the king in her arms.

"Oh?" The king looked at Xie Shuci suspiciously in her arms.

What to sell? What are you selling? Can the baby buy it? Although the baby has no money.

Facing the strange eyes of several people, Xie Shuci smiled naively: "Didn't it mean that the Flower Building has some hard-to-serve masters? Let me go, and I will definitely serve you well."

Little Lian looked at him strangely, "You're a Pill Cultivator, you don't make alchemy well, what are you doing in our Flower Building?"

"I'm not, I want to experience life and earn some money by the way. Besides, there are people from all over the world in your Flower Building, maybe I can sell a few pills."

"Are you short of money?"

"There is no shortage, but I have to support a family of four, Xie An and I, the king and the crane. Xie An and the crane are easy to kill, but the king can't. It eats a lot. I have to prepare for the future."

"No need." Xie An shook his head resolutely and refused.

Xie Shuci didn't follow him this time: "I don't make money, let's drink northwest wind together."

"I……"

"Don't tell me you are rich. If you are rich, how can I not know? Unless you deliberately hide it from me and don't trust me."

"..."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shuci blinked his eyes, "Besides, I think it's quite fun."

Little Lian and Luo Xianyu exchanged glances.

"You really want to try?"

"Ang, why did you lie to me?"

"How long are you going to work?"

"A month or two, by the way, I heard that you guys still have room and board."

"Yes."

Luo Xianyu couldn't listen anymore, and sighed: "Master Xie, I have decided to listen to you and take the Juling Pill with Xianlan. How about this, I will buy the Juling Pill you refined for thirty taels of silver One, I will buy as many as you refine."

"Ah..." Xie Shuci was not happy after hearing this, "But, I really want to try."

And alchemy is really tiring.

Luo Xianyu: "..."

Xie An: "..."

Are you honest about the money? !

Little Lian slapped his hands and settled down: "Okay, food and housing are included, and the monthly salary is fifty taels."

"Thank you Little Lian, I will report to the Flower Building in two days."

"Little Lian." Luo Xianyu frowned in disapproval.

Xuan's friend, and those guests are extremely tricky, besides, Mr. Xie is the benefactor of the two sisters, how can he...

"It's okay." Little Lian blinked at her, "Young master just wants to have fun, if you want to leave or stay, Flower Building will never force you."

After talking with Little Lian and the others, Xie Shuci went back to lobby Xie An.

"Little blind man?"

Xie Shuci saw that his expression was not very good, so he called out tentatively.

Xie Anli ignored him, and the line of his lips was tightly drawn.

"Oh, why are you so angry? Are you saying that I can't just sit around and play with you all day? After all, I have a family. I have to support you, the king, and the crane. I don't need money. .”

Xie Shuci sat beside him and bumped into his shoulder.

The corner of Xie An's mouth twitched, "Are you doing it to make money?"

"Of course!" Xie Shuci said confidently, "Of course, some of the reasons may be to see the world, but my main purpose is definitely to make money."

"Do you know what the little boy is going to do?"

"I know, eat and drink with me and then perform a show or something."

"What if there is something else?"

"What else can I do? I'm a performer, not a prostitute."

Xie An pursed his lips, "Didn't you want to be with Luo Xianyu?"

Hearing this, Xie Shuci's expression became a little weird, and he gave Xie An a strange look, "Why do you think so?"

"Didn't she want to make a promise with her body? It just so happens that you stay here with her, and I will take the king away."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Dude, you heard this all.

"Didn't you hear it all? People just appreciate me, they don't really want to marry me."

"If she wants to marry you, will you marry her?"

Xie Shuci was helpless: "Didn't I say it all, I want to seal my heart and love, I just have you, I don't need others."

Saying the last sentence, Xie Shuci is selfish.

After he finished speaking, he watched Xie An's expression carefully, trying to see some clues from his face.

Xie An's eyelashes like cicada's wings trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Xie Shuci was also taken aback for a moment, and then added casually: "I have you, the king, and the crane, that's all. You and the king are hard enough to take care of, and I can't afford to have one more person."

Xie An frowned suddenly, with a displeased expression on his face.

Xie Shuci pretended not to see it, and said, "Okay, I know what to do and what not to do."

He lowered his eyes, turned his head away, and sat back opposite Luo Xianyu.

Xie Shuci really wanted to slap himself, what he said just now was too obvious, what if the little blind man noticed something? This is not self-inflicted humiliation!

Xie Xiaoci, you can't control your own thoughts, can you also control your own mouth!

However, that irrational hope always pops up inexplicably.

The same goes for the little blind man, always saying and doing things that are easily misunderstood!

"Thank you young master?"

Seeing that Xie Shuci's expression was not very good, Luo Xianyu asked in doubt.

Xie Shuci came back to his senses and looked at her in confusion.

Luo Xianyu laughed, shook her head, and said nothing.

"Oh." Xie Shuci nodded, but his emotions are usually revealed on the surface, and it is easy for others to see his thoughts.

"By the way, the book says that the low-grade Juling Pill doesn't need to be taken in advance, and it can be effective in a short time, but the maintenance time is also very short, and the effect is less than a quarter of an hour." Xie Shuci said.

Luo Xianyu nodded, "That's enough."

Not long after, Xiao Xianlan returned to them with the king in her arms.

Xiao Xianlan sat beside Xie Shuci with her head downcast, and muttered, "I heard from them that the frightened feather bird will not come back."

"Wait a little longer."

As time goes by, the sky is getting darker and darker, the sun is only half of the body outside, the clouds in the sky are like a fire, and the beautiful clouds are like the cheeks of a girl when she is shy.

More and more people returned, and in the end only Xie Shuci and a small number of people stayed.

Xiao Xianlan and the others were called back to the stands, and there were a few scattered people around Xie Shuci, who didn't have much hope for today's frightened bird to return to its nest.

After finishing that sentence with Xie An, Xie Shuci seemed to avoid him a little bit, feeling a little depressed, and didn't want to talk to him.

Although Xie Shuci knew that his thoughts and actions were wrong, he just couldn't restrain himself, and he was unhappy if he didn't get a response.

The crane lay behind them, and Xie Shuci leaned on the crane's belly, staring at the sky in a daze, without saying a word.

The king guessed that he was tired from playing with Xiao Xianlan, so he fell asleep soundly in Xie Shuci in his arms.

Xie An sat on the other side, probably sensing Xie Shuci's depressed mood, and looked in Xie Shuci's direction.

There were sparse human voices around, and the cool evening breeze brushed their cheeks.

"Are you unhappy?" Xie An asked suddenly.

Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him, feeling a little depressed in his heart, the little blind man likes to beat around the bush when he is angry, how could he be so direct at this time.

Xie Shuci let out a weak "hmm".

Xie An pursed his lips slightly, "Did I make you unhappy?"

Looking at Xie An's serious expression, Xie Shuci's mood became complicated. Basically, because he didn't get the emotions he wanted from the blind man, Xie Shuci was unhappy, but this had nothing to do with him, and he was not needed what to change.

So, Xie Shuci shook his head, "No."

"Why is that?" Xie An asked.

Xie Shuci didn't want him to think too much, put his knees on his knees, put his elbows on his knees, and rested his chin on his palms, and said vaguely: "We came here to see Jingyuhua, but we didn't see anything. I also specially refined Juling Pill for you and Xiao Xianlan, I want you to see it too, but now I can’t see anything, of course I’m not happy."

Xie An was silent, lowered his eyes, and said: "Perhaps what that person said is true. The frightened feather birds belong to destiny. If destiny encounters a little trouble, they are temporarily asleep and will not appear."

"What kind of trouble can Tianming encounter?" Xie Shuci muttered, he looked at the sky, "It is the way of heaven, it is the ruler of the world, can there be any problems that it cannot solve?"

"some."

Xie An lowered his eyes, and lightly brushed his hands on the peach branches around his waist, "Wait a little longer, maybe if you want to see them, they will come."

Xie Shuci was amused by him, "My idea is so clever."

If he was so clever, he would have known better not to be an up master, and just go buy lottery tickets.

Even if it was to make him happy, Xie Shuci's mood improved a lot, and he joked: "Sincerity makes spirit?"

The corner of Xie An's mouth raised, "Don't be sincere, if you want to see it, it will come naturally."

"You, why did your mouth suddenly become so sweet?"

Xie An smiled, but didn't speak.

"Wait a little longer." Xie An said.

After finishing speaking, he was probably tired from sitting, so he got up and leaned against the big tree not far behind Xie Shuci.

Xie Shuci didn't take his words seriously, he is not a child, he thinks that he can achieve whatever he thinks, so if he wants to be a little blind...

Although, Xie An said this to make him happy, and Xie Shuci was really happy after hearing it.

Then, wait a little longer.

When Xie An walked under the tree, a hole was cut in the palm of his right hand by the distorted airflow, and blood gushed out. He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shuci in front of him. Xie Shuci was half lying on the crane's belly, and did not Discover what's going on behind you.

Xie An knelt down halfway, blood spilled on his robe.

The sleeping king woke up instantly when he smelled a sweet scent. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and look towards the source of the scent. The crane was just like him, and was stunned at the same time. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, there was an ice streak in the void. A powerful and cooling voice sounded: "Don't move."

The movement of the king and the crane turning their heads stopped at the same time.

The king looked at Xie Shuci, and found that no one could hear the voice except himself and the crane.

Xie An pressed the wound on his palm to the rough ground, and the blood was silently swallowed by the ground bit by bit.

"boom"

A sound similar to a human heartbeat sounded.

The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.

The few people who stayed on the top of the mountain looked up at the same time as the pedestrians driving on the mountainside and not far from the foot of the mountain.

The strange wind blew up the sand and gravel on the ground, and everyone had to cover their eyes with their sleeves. The strong wind rolled up a cloud of sand and dust, floating in the air like a thick fog.

"How is this going?"

"Oh my god..."

In this chaotic scene, only Xie An, like a rock, pressed his palm to the ground, the blood in his palm was continuously swallowed by the ground, and a faint golden light flickered at the connection between the palm and the ground.

The more blood the earth swallowed, the wilder the wind became.

Xie Shuci was blinded by the strong wind, and the earth seemed to come alive, trembling like a heartbeat.

On the top of the mountain where the wind was raging, an extremely powerful spiritual force surged from the ground. This spiritual force has a shocking power, like a heavy mountain standing in front of everyone, making people feel awe.

That powerful spiritual force formed a layer of golden film covering the ground, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The strong wind blowing on the mountain suddenly stopped, and the top of the mountain returned to calm.

Xie An withdrew his hand back, his face was snow-white, and cold sweat ran down the corner of his forehead. After repairing the wound on his palm with spiritual power, he was in a daze. He raised his eyes and saw Xie Shuci in front of him. He wanted to leave In the past, the body has no strength.

He sat down against the trunk of the tree, took out the small porcelain bottle given by Xie Shuci from his arms, poured out the pitted medicine inside, and swallowed it.

Just when everyone was wondering, a long and distant bird song came from the ground.

A big bird wrapped in fire feathers broke through the golden light on the ground, appeared out of thin air, and flew high into the sky.

The soaring flames illuminated half of the sky. It spread its wings, and the fire feathers dragged two flames across the sky. Its mouth made a sound that seemed to come from ancient times, full of traces of time, and hit everyone's hearts hard.

"It's a frightened bird!"

"The frightened bird is back!"

"Oh my god! The frightened bird is really back!"

The second frightened feather bird flew out from the ball of golden spiritual power.

Their feathers are like burning flames, hovering on the top of the mountain, illuminating the night sky like day.

Xie Shuci watched this scene in disbelief, and slowly stood up from the ground.

Before everyone could react, the third frightened bird flew into the sky again.

The high-pitched birdsong can be heard very clearly even in the distant Tianzhu City.

In the stands, everyone seems to have realized this.

Luo Xianyu took out a pill from her bosom and let Luo Xianlan eat it.

Although Luo Xianyu didn't understand why, she still ate it obediently.

With the appearance of the frightened feather bird, the dry land seemed to be springing up with dead trees. Bunches of green grass emerged from the ground and quickly spread past the feet of everyone. In the blink of an eye, the ground was already full of greenery.

The constantly gushing frightened birds hovered in the sky, dragging the flames all over the sky. Wherever they passed, the dead trees and trees came to life, opened the fresh and tender green branches, and withered in an instant, forming blossoms. Flowers full of fire.

The trees on the mountain were lit up one by one, and the firelight of the sky and the earth complemented each other, as if bathed in a sea of ​​fire.

The flowers are blown by the wind, fluttering and falling.

It's as beautiful as a fantasy.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xie Shuci's scalp became numb.

It's so beautiful, it's indescribably beautiful, whether in reality or on the Internet, Xie Shuci has never seen anything more beautiful than the picture in front of him.

"Little blind..."

Xie Shuci turned around and looked at Xie An behind him, his voice suddenly stopped.

Xie An leaned against the blooming frightened feather tree, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
