Although it was dark night, Zhao Ran's eyes were very different from ordinary people's. He immediately saw that the black shadow standing on the treetop was a golden pheasant. So he breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled, secretly thinking that he was really scaring himself.
This golden pheasant is very big and plump, with several long tail feathers trailing behind it. It glows with colorful lights under the moonlight and looks very beautiful. Zhao Ran was thinking about how to catch this golden pheasant and barbecue it.
, he saw it flapping its wings and flying down from the treetops. The place where it landed was only about ten feet away from Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran was overjoyed, stood up slowly, and said: "Hey, hey, hey, don't be afraid, there is delicious food here, hey, hey, hey..." While bending towards the golden pheasant, he took a piece of dry food and broke it into pieces.
Chop it into pieces and throw it in front of the golden pheasant.
The golden pheasant looked down at the dry food scraps thrown at its feet, then looked up at Zhao Ran, who was getting closer, and couldn't help but take a few bites...
Seeing that the golden pheasant did not escape, Zhao Ran secretly thought that there was a roast chicken to eat this time. Just when he was about to duck and pounce, he suddenly heard the golden pheasant say: "Gee, it's not delicious."
Zhao Ran slipped and sat down on the ground, staring at the golden pheasant with his mouth open, thinking, this is really a demon, and it is a spiritual demon!"
Zhao Ran once heard Zhuo Tengyi say that at the beginning of a monster's spiritual practice, it has no spiritual intelligence and behaves in a muddle-headed manner, relying entirely on instinct. After cultivating spiritual intelligence, it will be like a human being, able to think, behave, and know.
Advance and retreat, clear root and fruit, the monsters at this stage can be called spirit monsters, and even Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, two Huangguan-level monks, find it difficult to deal with them.
Zhao Ran sometimes thought that his old donkey should be a spirit demon because it could understand human speech and its own thoughts and emotions. It was not difficult at all to communicate. With the old donkey's ability, Zhao Ran was very good at it.
I have seen poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, and even ordinary monsters in the swamp. They can be kicked away with just one kick. It is quite powerful. But even so, the old donkey can't speak human words.
to the point where the golden pheasant in front of me can actually speak. Isn't it more powerful than an old donkey?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but look back at his old donkey, and saw that the beast had shrunk behind Zhao Ran at some point, his head drooped, his eyes full of fear.
Zhao Ran thought to himself that this guy seemed to have no hope and could only rely on himself, so he thought about it. He quietly took out two talismans and held them in his hands. One was the Divine Sky Five Thunder Talisman, and the other was the Divine Walking Talisman. The tactical plan was very
Simple, throw thunder and escape!
When I was looking for a good opportunity to "throw thunder", I heard the golden pheasant speak again: "Gee, is there anything else delicious?"
Zhao Ran was stunned and replied: "Would you like barbecue? Oh, you are a vegetarian. Sorry..."
"Gee, who said I'm a vegetarian? I also eat bugs. But bugs are not delicious."
Zhao Ran patted his forehead: "Sorry, I was so nervous that I forgot about this...here, this is barbecue..."
The golden pheasant pecked at the roasted meat a few times, pecked the roasted meat into pieces, and swallowed them one by one. Then he said: "Gee, it's delicious. Do you have any more?"
Zhao Ran took out the last piece of barbecue and threw it over: "It's the last piece... so what? It's too late, so I won't accompany you. I'm going home first. See you later." After that, he turned around.
, if you lead the old donkey, it will run away.
Unexpectedly, the golden pheasant refused to let Zhao Ran leave, and fluttered its wings and landed in front of him: "Gee, don't leave yet."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "It's really late. I'm afraid it will disturb your rest. I'll come visit you another day."
The golden pheasant said: "Gee, you can't leave. I haven't eaten enough yet. What will I eat if you leave?"
Zhao Ran was shocked and said: "I can't eat it. I am the master of Wujiyuan. If you eat me, you will get into trouble!"
The golden pheasant said curiously: "Gee, who said they want to eat you? Just wait here, I will be back soon..." After that, he fluttered his wings and flew away.
As soon as he saw the golden pheasant leaving, Zhao Ran turned over and got on the donkey's back. The old donkey carried Zhao Ran and ran away. Zhao Ran was in shock on the donkey's back. He patted the donkey's head and said: "Brother Donkey, you are not righteous, you were hiding behind me just now."
later."
"Angang..."
"Stop calling, call that chicken over, you and I will die!"
"hold head high……"
"Don't scream..."
Just as he was "turning in", a black shadow passed over Zhao Ran's head and hit hard in front of the old donkey's running route. The old donkey roared twice, raised its two front hooves high, and made an emergency stop.
Stopping, Zhao Ran managed to avoid falling.
Zhao Ran took a closer look and saw that what hit the ground was a wild boar. Just as he was thinking about it, the golden pheasant fell from the sky and landed on the wild boar carcass. He asked: "Gee, didn't I tell you to wait? Run away.
What are you doing here? This wild boar was just caught and cooked for me to eat in your own way."
"Ah? Ah... what, don't you want to eat barbecue? I'll come here to pick up some firewood, haha..."
"Gee, go back, I'll pick up the firewood, and you can just grill the meat."
As soon as Zhao Ran heard that he was going back, he had the idea of fighting in his heart. He kicked the old donkey and whispered: "Let's fight!" He wanted to join forces with the old donkey. He first threw the Five Thunder Divine Night Talisman,
If the enemy is seriously injured, then go up shoulder to shoulder. If the enemy is fine, add a magical talisman to the old donkey and run away together.
But who would have expected that the old donkey's response was just "Ang", and then he turned around obediently and walked back along the original path. Zhao Ran was so angry that he cursed in his heart, "You courageous beast."
But since the old donkey refused to cooperate, he had no choice but to submit obediently and was "escorted" by the golden pheasant back to the pond. The golden pheasant grabbed the huge wild boar and circled above Zhao Ran's head with such dexterity that Zhao Ran calmed down.
I thought, maybe it makes sense for Lao Lu not to dare to take action. At present, I can only take one step at a time and watch one step at a time.
Back at the pond, Zhao Ran started working as a butcher, skinning and removing the hair, and roasted the wild boar on the campfire. An hour later, the pork was roasted, and the rich aroma of meat filled the mountain col. The golden pheasants kept clucking.
, whirling around the campfire excitedly: "Gurgling, it smells so good, gurgle..."
Most of the huge wild boar went into the belly of the golden pheasant, leaving only one leg for Zhao Ran and the old donkey. Zhao Ran and the old donkey ate half of it, and while eating, they watched the golden pheasant having fun in front of the campfire.
"This chicken is crazy..."
"Angang..."
"It's a pity that we don't have any wine. How about we try to get it drunk?"
"Angang..."
"Is it that delicious? Why don't I think so."
"Angang..."
"Go and tell it that roasted chicken is actually better than roasted pig."
"hold head high--"
"Just kidding, why are you staring at me?"
…
Zhao Ran and the old donkey were chatting helplessly when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. Zhao Ran, the old donkey and the golden pheasant all looked towards the place where the sound came from. Not long after, they saw two Taoist priests riding tall horses, coming from the mountain col.
The outside turned in.
Zhao Ran was overjoyed and shouted: "Uncle Da Zhuo, Uncle Xiao Zhuo, it's me, I'm Zhao Zhiran from Wuji Academy!"
The two Taoist priests who came were none other than Huang Guan, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, two Taoists from the Huayun Hall who had been separated from Zhao Ran for a few years.
Zhao Ran had finally met his relatives. Just when he was about to complain, he saw the two Taoist disciples saluting the Golden Pheasant in unison: "I've seen the Master of Five Colors!"
The golden pheasant was pecking at a wild boar rib and said, "Gee, are you here? Well, there's still half a pig leg. You brothers can divide it up and do it yourself. I'm busy, so I won't say hello."
The two of them thanked Zhao Ran without going to get the pig leg, and came to Zhao Ran. Zhuo Tengyi asked: "Martial Nephew Zhao, was it you who sent the communication talisman?"
Zhao Ran was already a little dumbfounded and said dryly: "Hey..."
"What happened?"
Zhao Ran swallowed, carefully pointed to the opposite side of the bonfire, and said: "That... chicken demon is not a demon?"
Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi looked at each other and understood immediately. Zhuo Tengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Is it because of the Master of Five Colors that you sent the communication talisman?"
Zhao Ran recounted the story in detail and asked: "This chicken, uh, what kind of master of five colors is this chicken?"
Zhuo Tengyi pulled Zhao Ran away and explained in a low voice: "The Master of Five Colors was originally a golden pheasant with five colors. Later, for some unknown reason, he obtained the method of cultivation and became a spirit demon. Changchong Mountain is where he lives.
Shifang Jungle doesn’t know about this, only Huayun Pavilion knows about it, but I didn’t expect you to come here after you became the master of Wuji Academy.”
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked, "Aren't we going to catch this monster?"
Zhuo Tengyi smiled and said: "I told you years ago that most monsters do not disturb the human world. Since they do not disturb the human world, they cultivate on their own. What does it have to do with you and me? Why should we catch it? Furthermore, this master of five colors is pure
My spirit is clear and my mind is extremely kind. Have you passed by Qianshan when you came? Do you know how there are such good fields and water in this mountain? They are all protected by these masters of five colors."
Only then did Zhao Ran suddenly realize, and said angrily: "I told you earlier, it would have been a waste of time without mentioning it, and I have been worried all night."
Zhuo Tengyi also found it funny and said: "It has been practicing here for a long time. Who knew you could actually see through its traces? I really have nothing to say."
Zhao Ran looked through the bonfire and saw Zhuo Tengyun respectfully talking to the golden pheasant. Remembering that he had planned to catch it and roast it before, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster.
