A big strange thing

In the next half day, Shi Yan and the others searched around the deepest part of the periphery, but did not meet the suitable spirit beast like in the morning. Even if they met, they failed to capture. Over the whole day, except for Zi'er's "Xiao Rou", only Xiao Li successfully captured one piece of flower cattail, the kind that had just transformed into wisdom.

"Xiao Rou" is actually the Qianqu Vine captured by Zi'er in the morning. When she saw that the Qianqu Vine was soft, she named it Xiao Rou.

Xiaoli's Flower Cattails play a complementary role with the mental method she practiced. Flower Cattails are different from Chettails. As a spiritual plant, Flower Cattails are more fleshy after being transformed into wisdom. They look like a cat curled up with lotus leaves, with a large flower fixed on the head and a cattail on the tail. Shi Yan has never learned the identification of the spirit beast, so he is not clear about its detailed information. However, from Xiaoli's oral description, he learned that this Flower Cattail is a first-class Flower Cattail. He has two skills to cultivate wisdom.

The first skill is [Scented]!

Xiangsu is a colorless gas that has a faint fragrance that can make you feel unconscious. Moreover, Xiangsu has another function, which is a hidden ability called aromatherapy. The fragrance emitted can heal different attributes depending on the spiritual power attributes used by Huacai. For example, if you are in fire poison, let Huacai take a elixir that can emit water attributes and let it activate water attributes. It can effectively cure fire poison damage, with extremely significant effects.

And its second skill is [Flying Needle]!

The flying needle uses the flesh spikes at its tail to shoot a flying needle to attack the target. This move combined with Xiao Li's [Flower Willow Yin] can be said to be a killing person invisible.

Mingxiang did not choose a suitable spirit beast, and Ye Yier came with her to try it. Shi Yan's goal was the fire-attribute spirit beast on the Red Lotus Volcano, so in the end of the day, only Zi'er and Xiaoli completed the expected goals.

At night, a bonfire was raised, Mingxiang took out the prepared Linglong hut. After reciting a spell, the Linglong hut, the size of a palm, was actually growing in the wind. After a moment, a hut that could accommodate seven or eight people was formed.

Shi Yan hunted some spiritual beasts that had not yet been transformed from wisdom, shaved them, skewed them with bamboo sticks, and put them on top of the bonfire to smoke.

Zi'er took out one kind of fine snacks from the treasure bag, including osmanthus cake, the treasure roast duck from the King of Daxianchu of Shangpinzhenlou, and the thousand-layer shortbread cakes baked with four-grade fire. They are all snacks with great reputation. The plates are filled with plates, and the colorful and beautiful look. Each one exudes an attractive fragrance, which makes people salivate.

Xiao Li found many mountain fruit mushrooms everywhere, put them in the soup pot, and simmered them slowly in a pot. The thick soup rolled up and down, and each time it rolled, it exuded a strong fragrance.

Only Ye Yier did nothing. She squatted here and drooled as she watched the barbecue, lying on the table, gulping at the table full of snacks, and smelling the strong fragrance of soup in the big pot.

He looked at Xiaoli with a gaze and kept asking, "Is it delicious?"

"Good Xiaoli, has the soup not yet been prepared?"

"Good Xiaoli, how long will it take?"

Xiao Li cut the mushrooms, threw them into the soup pot and stirred them, covered the lid, looked at Ye Yier who was looking around and smiled, "It's going to be done soon, wait patiently!"

Ye Yier nodded hurriedly, but her eyes never left the pot.

The evening breeze is blowing, with a little water vapor, giving people a comfortable feeling.

After working hard for half an hour, a rich dinner was finally completed. Several people sat around the bonfire and happily ate the rich dinner.

Ye Yier had been eyeing her for a long time. When she heard that the meal was on, she rushed down like a tigress, grabbed it and bit it. Look at Mingxiang, Zi'er and Xiaoli's small mouths and chewed slowly, and then looked at Ye Yier, which seemed to be reincarnated as a starving ghost. They were pleasing to the eye, while Ye Yier's meal increased her appetite. Although they were eating the same, they had different effects.

"Foodie!" Shi Yan was a person who couldn't stop talking. He was shocked by Ye Yier's eating habits just now. It took him a long time to react and spit out two words.

Ye Yier gave him a blank look, ignored his words, and buried her head in trouble. Maybe she was just idle.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the bushes on the right, but no wind was rising at this time. Shi Yan's eyes condensed and he glanced at Mingxiang. Mingxiang also heard the rustling sound of the bushes and nodded to Shi Yan solemnly. This was a signal. The two of them rushed out at the same time. The finger of the spiritual clever finger in Shi Yan's hand had condensed into shape. Mingxiang had already held her bell in her hand. It was definitely not a good thing to do. Is there anything that cannot be open and just, but needs to be sneaky?

"Who is it!" The two of them were very fast, so fast that even their own people couldn't figure out the situation, but after they arrived at the bushes at such a rapid speed, they found no trace of anyone.

Shi Yan and Mingxiang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. At this time, a rustling sound suddenly appeared in the small bushes on the right, and a snow-white figure came into the eyes of the two. "This... isn't this the little monkey?"

Mingxiang personally hugged the little monkey and immediately recognized it. After hearing what she said, Shi Yan looked a little like it. He ran over and picked it up, feeling that his hands were wet. He spread his palms and looked at it, shocked: "Why are there so much blood!"

Mingxiang came over and covered her mouth in surprise, "Why is it covered in wounds!"

Shi Yan looked carefully and found that it was indeed big and small, with dozens of scars on its body. "This..." Shi Yan frowned, confused, and asked Mingxiang, "We were right to cure it before!"

Mingxiang nodded, "Yes, when we left before, there was no injury on it. Why are there so many injuries on it now... now!"

"Take it back first!" Shi Yan said, and returned to the bonfire with Mingxiang.

"What's going on?" Xiaoli ran over and asked. Zi'er also looked at this place curiously. Only Ye Yier, who buried her head alone, didn't even have the ability to raise her head.

"It's the little monkey from before, it's covered in wounds." Shi Yan told them the matter.

"Hey? Didn't we cure it? Why is it injured all over again?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

Shi Yan shook his head, "I don't know, don't worry about these things first, let's cure it first. Look at it like this, it's quite pitiful."

"Yeah!" Mingxiang nodded, exerting the energy of Yulu, and Shi Yan took out Baiyu Pills, crushed them and took them into the mouth of the little monkey.

The little monkey's injuries were healed again, and the wounds all over his body completely healed. This time, Shi Yan even carefully checked them and found that there were no wounds.

"This time, let's let it stay with us first, and then release it when it is fully recovered. How about it?" Shi Yan suggested.

"Okay, I don't need it as a spiritual beast anyway, just as it's accumulating good deeds." Mingxiang brushed her messy hair and said with a smile.

Xiaoli said: "Yes, Sister Mingxiang believes in Buddhism, believes in the past and present lives, and pays attention to cause and effect."

Shi Yan was a little surprised. He knew Mingxiang for so many years and realized that Mingxiang believed in Buddhism. He always thought that those who believed in Buddhism were all Buddhists, and those who controlled animals were almost impossible to become interested in Buddha.

Mingxiang smiled bitterly, "I was just influenced by my family and didn't really believe it."

"Your family?" Shi Yan asked curiously. He had never heard her talk about her family's affairs in so many years. This was the first time he heard her talk about her family affairs.

"Yeah." Mingxiang laughed and said, "My family is a Buddhist family. Although I am not a monk or nun, the mental method passed down since ancient times is Buddhist scriptures. They have instilled the concept of Buddhist practice in me since childhood, so I believe in cause and effect."

Shi Yan asked curiously: "Then why don't you learn Buddhism, but instead learn to control beasts?"

Mingxiang's body trembled in vain when she smelled it. She seemed a little helpless, and she didn't even know where to put her hands.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a break first, I'll be busy tomorrow!" Shi Yan said.

"Oh, it's so boring!" Xiaoli pouted and muttered while leaving. Xiaoli is like a childish temperament, saying whatever she wants, so no one cares about what she says.

Zi'er also left, she patted Xiaoli's head, "You, you!"

Xiaoli didn't know what he was doing and looked at Zi'er innocently.

After the two left, only Shi Yan and Mingxiang were left here, but the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Shi Yan had to sigh, it seemed that Mingxiang was also a person with a story.

Mingxiang broke the deadlock and spoke first, "Shi Yan, thank you just now."

Shi Yan smiled and shook his head, "Everyone has their own stories. Some stories can be shared, some stories cannot, some stories can be told immediately, and some stories take time. As long as you understand these, I think everyone will have their own choices. Some people will hide the stories in their hearts, but that will only hurt themselves deeper. Perhaps, it will be much easier to tell everything."

Mingxiang was silent after hearing this. After a moment, she stood up and said, "Maybe, one day, I will tell you everything." After that, she left.

Shi Yan looked at her leaving back and sighed slightly.

Shi Yan held the little monkey and lay on the grass, looking up at the bright stars in the sky, dazed.

Ye Yier came to him and lay down. Shi Yan glanced at her, "You finally finished eating?"

Ye Yier didn't answer his words and stretched, "Ah, I'm so full. I've never eaten such delicious food there!"

"So you eat it voraciously?" Shi Yan teased with a smile.

"Hmph!" Ye Yier frowned her little nose, "We are different from your world. We show our true nature so that we will not hide it. It takes only a hundred years for a person to live for a lifetime. Why should we wrap ourselves tightly? Why not abandon all the shackles and live a life of good life!"

Shi Yan was stunned. Ye Yier's words made sense. Why should people always care about other people's eyes and restrain themselves? Living like this is entirely for others, not themselves. He looked at Ye Yier in surprise, and unexpectedly, she could say such words. He sighed slightly in his heart, but unfortunately, people in the world could not see so thoroughly, just like Mingxiang, just like himself, wrapping himself tightly, but alive, but he was already dead. What's the point of living like this!

The two looked up at the sky without saying a word. The wind blew the leaves around them, and the sound of insects roaring one after another, but it seemed even more silent.

"You said, my hometown will be one of the stars in the sky? You said, can I still go back?" Ye Yier murmured in a low voice.

"What?" Shi Yan asked without hearing it clearly.

Ye Yier shook her head, turned her back to Shi Yan, "It's nothing, I want to sleep here, can you accompany me?"

"Yeah." Shi Yan paused and nodded.

Ye Yier suddenly drilled into Shi Yan's arms. Shi Yan was at a loss and wanted to let go, but Ye Yier stopped him. "Shi Yan, hug me tightly, I'm cold!" As he said, his voice choked.

Shi Yan sighed, hugged her into his arms, and gently patted her on the back.

In this way, they hugged each other overnight, but nothing happened.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Shi Yan was pushed by Ye Yier.

Shi Yan rubbed his eyes and said in a daze: "What are you doing? Have you seen me still sleeping?"
Chapter completed!
