The moves of the Tiger Elephant Stick Technique don't seem difficult, and Xu Xian can probably imitate them based on the explanations with pictures and texts.
Throughout the afternoon, he basically devoted himself to expressing each move individually according to the descriptions in the ancient stick method books.
Although he couldn't perform a coherent set of movements, at least he was familiar with how to perform each movement.
Perhaps it was because there was enough spiritual energy in the Jinzhu space that Xu Xian didn't feel tired after such a long time, but was particularly energetic.
If his stomach hadn't started to protest, he felt that he could have practiced in the Jinzhu Space until midnight.
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking.
When Xu Xian opened the lid of the stew pot, the fragrance of chicken soup immediately hit his nostrils.
Before he could serve himself a bowl, the sound of flapping wings came: "Brother Xian, is the chicken soup ready? Give me some chicken."
Xu Xian turned to look at the parrot on his shoulder in surprise: "How can you and the chicken be considered cousins? How can you say this?"
The parrot immediately rolled his eyes humanely: "Brother Xian, I need to remind you again, I am different from it, completely different!"
Tilting its head, it continued: "What's more, the eagle also eats chickens. I am much nobler than the eagle. Not only chickens, but also eagles."
"Just you?" Xu Xian glanced at it sideways: "You want an eagle to eat you, but I can still believe you."
"Forget it if you don't believe me. I'm hungry. Get me some chicken. By the way, some chicken soup too. I need to replenish my body."
The parrot didn't explain anymore, just stared at the chicken soup in the stew pot and kept smacking its mouth.
"You really don't regard yourself as an outsider." Xu Xian complained and didn't care about it. The parrot was only a little bigger than his hand, so it didn't matter if he gave it some chicken.
However, when eating dinner at the dining table, Xu Xian was dumbfounded. He only moved his chopsticks a few times, but the bowl in front of the parrot had already bottomed out.
It raised its head and blinked: "Brother Xian, I'm not full yet, please give me some more."
"Haha, I didn't expect that besides being immoral, you are also just a foodie."
While complaining, Xu Xian served it a second bowl.
This time Xu Xian paid attention to the parrot while eating. He saw that as the little guy drank and pecked, the chicken soup in the bowl quickly decreased, and soon it bottomed out again.
Just as the parrot raised its head and looked at him again, he reached out and grabbed the parrot in his hand.
"You're not a big guy, how can you eat so much? Also, after two bowls of chicken soup, your stomach hasn't changed at all?"
He held it in his hand and turned it over and over again, then Xu Xian muttered in confusion.
"Let go!"
The parrot kicked its claws wildly, trying to break away from Xu Xian's hand: "Why are you so stingy? Why don't I just eat some chicken soup from you?"
Putting it back on the dining table, Xu Xian suddenly felt something in his heart. He glanced at it and asked, "By the way, does your little guy have his own name?"
"Name?" The parrot tilted its neck and said sternly: "You can call this handsome bird Wei Feng or Feng Huang. Of course, I prefer to call me Master Feng."
'Pah, pah, pah!'
"Who are you with? Who are you with?"
Xu Xian picked up the chopsticks and hit the parrot on the head repeatedly, which made the parrot's head buzz.
He didn't put down his chopsticks until the parrot bowed its neck obediently.
However, although Xu Xian started without hesitation, he was a little more thoughtful when he just heard the bird say the words 'Mighty Phoenix' and 'Feng Huang'.
The reason why he asked if the parrot had a name was because he wanted to know more about it.
Judging from some signs he found, this little guy didn't exactly look like a parrot. The reason why he subconsciously thought it was a parrot when he saw it for the first time was because this guy could talk.
But Xu Xian thought about it carefully and realized that in today's world, those who can talk are not necessarily parrots.
In fact, when he looked at the little guy carefully, he could still see a lot of differences with the parrot.
First of all, its beak is not as curved as that of a parrot, but appears straighter.
In addition, Xu Xian remembers that parrots have double-toed feet, but it’s obvious from the way this little guy holds his paws that they don’t.
Moreover, its four claws were not only sharp, but also pointed and slender in shape, with scaly black lines all over it. Xu Xian admitted that it looked a bit imposing.
Of course, it was impossible for him to associate this unseemly and somewhat wretched guy with the ancient beast.
'Could it be a hybrid?'
Looking at the little guy who was raising his wings and rubbing his head, Xu Xian's evil thoughts wandered away.
At the end, he filled another bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of the little guy: "Forget it, I'll call you Xiaofeng from now on."
"Don't think about it anymore? I'll call you Brother Xian, and you can call me Brother Feng, head office?" Xiaofeng said tentatively.
Xu Xian rolled his eyes: "No need to discuss!"
Only one hen was stewed in the evening. Xu Xian originally thought there would be some leftover, but it turned out to be almost not enough.
This made him realize that maybe the food he had brought back was only enough for three or four days, and he would have to stock up on more food for his home in the near future.
Xiaofeng naturally had no such problem. After eating and drinking, he flew to the sofa again, holding the remote control with his two paws and watching the video with relish.
Xu Xian was happy to be alone. After clearing away the dishes, he planned to enter the Jinzhu Space to continue practicing the Four Elephants Stick Technique.
But just as he walked to the room, Xiaofeng on the sofa suddenly stood up and jumped up from the sofa: "It's not good, Brother Xian, there is a monster!"
"What?!" Xu Xian was startled by its movement and immediately turned around.
Xiaofeng flapped her wings and flew to his shoulder, her little eyes staring in one direction: "There are monsters nearby, I can feel it!"
"Real or fake, where is it?" Xu Xian turned to look at it.
Although he was confused, seeing Xiaofeng's appearance, he did not dare to be careless and his body quickly became tense.
Xiaofeng raised a wing, pointed forward and said: "Outside, just outside the gate, very close."
Xu Xian looked serious, picked up the iron bar leaning against the wall and walked outside.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the hazy moonlight did not illuminate the earth, and it was almost pitch black outside the door.
Holding the iron rod, Xu Xian carefully came to the courtyard gate.
There was a light on the doorposts on both sides of the courtyard door. In order to see clearly what was going on outside the door, Xu Xian pressed the switch to turn on the light.
The illumination range of the light was not large, and it could only illuminate the area across the road outside his house.
But the moment the lights were turned on, a huge black shadow vaguely appeared in the grass across the road.
Under the shroud of darkness, Xu Xian could only see the rough outline of the black shadow, but could not determine what kind of creature it was.
However, Heiying's scarlet eyes, which exuded a faint light, were particularly eye-catching, causing his heartbeat to slow down for half a beat after seeing it.
