Time goes back to five days ago.

The noise in the dining hall dispersed, and all the disciples of Dazhu Peak began to return to their houses.

They did not take the topic of "Xiaofan taking over the kitchen" seriously. After all, Zhang Xiaofan still had to do the homework of chopping bamboo, and he would have to wait until the three-year period expired.

When it gets late at night, the door of the last house on the left opens.

Du Bishu slowly poked his head out, looked around and observed for a while, and after confirming that no one came out to check, he tiptoed towards the opposite side.

Just as I walked to the row of houses opposite, the door of one of the houses quietly opened a gap.

Du Bishu immediately stepped forward and squeezed in, closing the wooden door smoothly.

"Sixth Brother..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, luckily there is no one next door to you." Du Bishu made a silent gesture to stop Zhang Xiaofan from speaking loudly.

After that, he walked all the way to the bed, lifted up the quilt on the bed, and threw it on the innermost side.

"Come, take the oil lamp and get into bed!"

Du Bishu said hello, stretched out his hand to untie the curtain on the outside of the bed, took off his shoes and got on the bed.

What is this doing?

Zhang Xiaofan was confused, but still followed the other party's instructions, not forgetting to bring the oil lamp on the table.

"Sixth Brother, why are we sneaking around?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Du Bishu sighed earnestly, took out a hand-drawn map of Houshan from his arms and unfolded it.

"As long as you have your own animal pet, and if you secretly work hard and work hard, you will be a blockbuster, and you will definitely make Master take a high look."

These words spoke to Zhang Xiaofan's heart. He quickly nodded in agreement and looked at the map spread in the middle with the dim oil lamp.

…

In this way, the two of them muttered for nearly half an hour, and finally settled on the next plan.

Next, it’s time to show off her true character.

Du Bishu was about to lift the curtain and get out of bed, when he looked up, he happened to see the ball on Zhang Xiaofan's neck.

Blood-eating beads?

Estimating the time, the ban should be lifted soon. Should I remind him?

Du Bishu hesitated for a moment, then pretended not to care and pointed at the ball.

"Junior brother, your beads seem to be a little faded, right? It wasn't like this before."

fade?

Zhang Xiaofan took off the ball bead from his neck in confusion, put it under the oil lamp and examined it for a while, then responded in an uncertain tone:

"It seems so. I don't quite understand. Sixth Senior Brother, please help me take a look."

After saying that, he also sent the ball forward.

"Then do you feel something is wrong?" Du Bishu took it casually, intending to take the opportunity to observe it.

"Ouch!"

But before he could hold the ball (blood-devouring bead) firmly, a strong stinging pain suddenly came, and the ball was tossed on the bed.

Zhang Xiaofan was also startled and quickly turned his head to check.

I saw an obvious round hole wound in the palm of Du Bishu's right hand, and bright red blood beads were seeping out from there, with a faint tendency to roll towards the beads.

call out!

Before the two of them could react, the drop of blood jumped out instantly and sank directly into the ball that was still rolling on the bed board.

The light cyan surface of the round bead flickered for a while, and the rolling frequency accelerated a bit, as if to express a joyful emotion.

Moreover, the broken wound on the palm of the hand continued to ooze blood.

Du Bishu hurriedly removed his palm and blew the rolling ball to one side. He was still shouting in fear: "You are such a bad bead, you are sucking my blood again and again. You are so stingy!"

Seeing this strange situation, Zhang Xiaofan immediately dodged to the inside of the bed and got out of the way of the rolling ball.

"Sixth Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the beads?"

While speaking urgently, he tugged on the string threaded through the beads.

After making sure that there was nothing unusual, Zhang Xiaofan picked it up.

At this moment, there is only a very thin layer of green light left on the surface of the round bead, and a conspicuous strand of blood is wrapped around it, like cracks.

The green energy hidden in it rotated rapidly, and the Buddhist mantra swastika on the surface blocked it time and time again, but it was already at the end of its attack.

"Junior brother, it's nothing serious. However, this bead is a bit evil. It seems like there is something living inside, and it is wrapped with some kind of forbidden spell. It has not hurt you yet. If something goes wrong in the future, remember to come to me."

There are some things that Du Bishu cannot tell.

Unsurprisingly, both the Blood-devouring Bead and the Soul-Capturing were destined by Zhang Xiaofan. Although he had a narrow escape from death, he still survived in the end.

But now, due to his own intervention, something might have changed. For this reason, he could only pay more attention.

"By the way, during this period, you should eat more meat that replenishes blood, such as pig blood tofu and duck blood vermicelli soup. Well, you should be able to eat it as you grow older!"

Du Bishu warned half-jokingly, got out of bed and left with some worries.

After sending the other party out, Zhang Xiaofan really couldn't figure out the intention of the sixth senior brother, so he simply hung the ball back around his neck and fell asleep.

…

Time goes back to the present.

"Sister, why are you here?"

A cry of joy brought Du Bishu back from his memories, and he pretended to be practicing his sword and passed by.

In the place where Zhang Xiaofan was cutting bamboo and doing homework.

Tian Linger stood tall in red clothes, with her hands on her hips, making an angry expression. Of course, the person she was angry with was not the junior brother in front of her.

"Junior brother, I went to Tai Chi Cave to practice for a few days, and you were bullied like this. Tell me, who is it?"

He spoke in an old-fashioned tone, as if he was coaxing a child.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Du Bishu's position hesitantly, wondering whether he should tell the truth.

But such a small move immediately caused Tian Linger to misunderstand, and she immediately looked over with an angry look.

Du Bishu immediately shrank his neck, and his movements with the sword were somewhat panicked.

At this moment, a pine cone fell from a high place and hit Tian Linger on the back of the head with great precision.

"Ouch! Who is attacking me?"

"Sister, that's it! Chase after it!"

In fact, the moment Zhang Xiaofan took a peek, he knew that he had made a mistake. Now that there was a monkey coming to the rescue, he still couldn't make changes.

His expression was very angry, and he raised his arms while shouting angrily.

Tian Linger was just about to find someone's bad luck when she heard this shout, rubbing the back of her head and looking in the direction of Zhang Xiaofan's finger.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

The gray monkey arrived as promised, wrapped its long tail around the bamboo branch, and kept laughing while hanging upside down. Still holding five pine cones, it was still laughing wildly, but this time the target was Tian Linger.

As for why the target was changed, God knows.

Thinking of the circular bruises on Zhang Xiaofan's face, Tian Linger reacted instantly and dared to blame this gray-haired monkey for causing trouble!

But why did Xiaofan look at Senior Brother Bishu just now?

This idea just flashed in her mind, and she didn't bother to think about it carefully. She shook her hands and arms, and a red shadow quickly shot out, shooting straight at the gray monkey high up.

At the same time, Tian Linger made a slight move and stepped on the red shadow.

He rose up in the air, formed claws with his five fingers, and grabbed the gray monkey with lightning speed.

The reaction was so fast, which shows that her practice in Tai Chi Cave during this period was quite effective.

Unexpectedly, this gray monkey was so smart that he threw out the pine cones he grabbed. Then his tail wrapped around the bamboo branch loosened without any warning, and his whole body fell downwards.

What a coincidence, this happened to avoid Tian Linger's many back-ups.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was standing on the ground, immediately pounced on him, but before he could get closer, the gray monkey stretched out its long arms, grabbed half of the bamboo trunk and swung it steadily to another bamboo.

In the distance, Du Bishu also noticed the movement here, patted the soul-capturing cup behind him, and let out a loud shout.
Chapter completed!
