Dusk had passed, and the night was getting darker. A dozen miles away from Chen Qianfan's residence, the cave was as cold as an ice cave.
Mr. Bai curled up in Su Si's arms, feeling so confused for the first time.
There must be something terribly wrong with its abilities, but it just couldn't figure out which step went wrong.
Was it when you left the Chigou Sect
The Chi Gou Sect took it as their mission to explore all the great tombs in the world, and they were particularly respectful of matters of fortune. On weekdays, when they went to the tombs, they would bring even ordinary animals to ward off evil spirits, and if they caught monsters with special powers, they would provide them with good food and drink.
Bai Ye was found by the Chi Gou Sect's branch temple in a restaurant and offered to the main temple. He was born with a strong intuition and was able to exorcise evil spirits and avoid danger, making him a "living magic weapon" of the Chi Gou Sect.
The main altar of the Chihgou sect is located in the northwest desert. It is dry and arid, but it has its own clear pool. It sleeps on the freshest and cleanest straw and eats the tenderest grass leaves and fish fry. Those small-time tombs of princes and nobles are not even worthy of asking it to take charge.
Mr. Bai thought he could live a comfortable life.
A few months ago, after happily twisting the servant, it suddenly had a bad premonition - the feeling was complex and dense, and it was hard to explain. It always felt that it wanted to leave this place, but it didn't know where to go.
So it had no choice but to lie dejectedly in its nest, using its small head to think hard about its life.
Unexpectedly, that night, a pair of evil black hands reached into the goose house. Mr. Bai was furious and just as he was about to turn around and twist the man, his mouth was caught by a rope. He frightened the whole goose and was stunned - this bastard was clearly well prepared!
But this well-prepared bastard had a good appearance and good kung fu. He picked it up quietly, with the sharp blade at the edge of its neck.
Mr. Bai did not struggle, but its fleshy tentacles raised an edge and vaguely felt the man's luck.
Although Mr. Bai always looked down on people, his brain was not as good as people's. At that time, he opened his eyes wide and made a simple and direct judgment - this place was ominous, and this person was lucky. Then just follow him, what's there to hesitate
Follow the wrong person and you will have a barbecue in a restaurant; follow the right person and you will enjoy a delicious meal.
However, since its "new slave" joined Kushan Sect, it has not encountered any good things. The bad luck of this group of humans almost made it doubt its life. Fortunately, everything went smoothly for the time being, and the group did not encounter any major disasters. Su Si became more and more lively, and its premonition was not wrong.
Until now.
At this time and place, its "eating and drinking" condition is extremely bad, and it is about to die.
Su Si was huddled in a corner of the cave, his lips were blue and purple, his face was pale, and the blood on his clothes had frozen. A few steps away, a body with a miserable death was lying on the ground, and the Mishan Sect uniform on the body was in tatters.
Mr. Bai was held tightly in Su Si's arms. There was rarely any sternness in his eyes, only worry.
Su Si smiled and rubbed his chin against its head.
"You're not very good at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune... But you've helped me a lot. Everyone has their own destiny. I'm afraid I can only support you up to this point."
Bai Ye twisted his body anxiously, trying to break free from Su Siyou's cold embrace. He kept barking while thinking, trying to find out where he had led the wrong way.
According to its intuition, both of them should survive.
Is today special
This morning, Master Bai sensed an extremely strong aura of evil, so he stepped on and twisted Su Si to wake him up, intending to rescue his servant.
Just as it expected, Su Si put on his clothes and chased out with murderous intent.
After several months, Master Bai knew that his servant, Su Si, was always vigilant and never left his butcher knife. He was also very eager to survive and would definitely be able to walk out of the snowfield alive.
The most convenient thing is that Su Si is quite calm and cruel, and never does anything that is useless. It's not that Su Si has never used other humans before, but he is better than anyone else at withdrawing in time.
What a stable and useful job.
Mr. Bai’s premonition really came in time. Just as Su Si found the goose monster running away, he saw a large group of monsters.
After finding fresh human flesh, several little demons left their team and rushed over. Su Si lowered his eyes, and the meat-cutting knife flashed, and blood immediately splattered all over the ground.
So far, everything was normal. Next, the calm human seemed to have made a wrong decision.
Seeing the danger in front of him, Su Si did not run away. He kicked away the demon corpse at his feet and was attracted by the broken talisman on the demon's skin.
As the young leader of the Chi Gou Sect, Su Si did not need to learn how to cast spells or draw formations. But he had to learn all the basic formations commonly used by enemies and the evil and strange arts commonly used in tombs.
"Before, I just thought this ghost painting was annoying, but now I should thank that old witch."
Su Si picked up the inconspicuous pale piece of paper and placed it in his palm to examine it carefully.
"You called me out for this? ... It's just a simple array-breaking technique. But someone deliberately tore the talisman into snow, which stained the monsters, and hid the technique in the monster's aura."
"You want to weaken the defense array without anyone noticing? Well, the headmaster and Senior Yin should be fine over there..."
Lord Bai blinked his eyes, waiting eagerly for Su Si to take him away - the goose monster didn't understand any magic spells or formations, he only knew that the evil spirit of this place made the goose feel upset.
If it were any other time, Su Si would have already run away. But now he stood there, mumbling incomprehensible words like "chasing the murderer" and "breaking the formation".
It didn't save him just to be in a daze!
Master Bai was so angry that he twisted Su Si's calf. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold and Su Si was not wearing thin clothes, so he could only flutter his wings anxiously.
"hold head high!"
"I know, let's find the person who cast the spell." Su Si glanced at it. "The spell is unsolved, and Chen Qianfan's protective formation won't last long."
"Ang!!!" You know nothing, who cares what they do!
However, Su Si simply tightened his clothes, wrapped Master Bai in his outer robe, and followed the path of the monster army.
… Never mind, it doesn’t care. Anyway, it didn’t sense any ominous signs of trouble, so as long as it and its servants didn’t die, it wouldn’t matter if it delayed a little longer.
Mr. Bai was very unhappy.
Of the three people from Kushan Sect, only the one with red eyes looked like a human being, and the remaining two were weirder than each other. Su Si had no fresh grass carp fry, nor his own clear pond. It was hard to figure out why he was attached to Kushan Sect.
After half a day, Su Si successfully found the remote caster, but that person was more alert and stronger than they thought.
The two fought for three hours, and Master Bai hid behind a huge rock in the cave the whole time, trembling with fear - apart from predicting good and bad luck, he could only twist people, and didn't even have half a natural magic. Any random spell could kill him instantly.
What's more, the spells exploding in front of it were more than it had ever seen in its life.
Its servants used up all their strength to kill their opponents. But when the enemy fell, Su Si was also covered with wounds and could barely stand.
Under normal circumstances, such injuries would not kill him immediately, but this was the deserted northern land, and even a living person could freeze to death, not to mention being seriously injured.
Mr. Bai was almost frightened by Su Si's situation.
The slaves were already dying, and it was trapped alone in the ice and snow, with its life uncertain.
But it still couldn't sense the ominous aura. Was it because its tentacles were frostbitten? Was it because it was too cold here, and it was weak and hungry, lacking in energy
"Ang! Ang!" Mr. Bai stumbled towards the corpse, jumping on it and shouting.
According to Su Si's personality, he should go and gnaw on the corpse. If he could force himself to eat something, he might have more strength to hold on.
But Su Si just shook his head tiredly.
"They will definitely come to find me. Unfortunately, the monster group can't disperse for a while, and this place is hidden. The earliest they can come is after sunrise... Even if I eat human corpses, I won't live until sunrise. I don't want them to see my disgusting appearance."
He exhaled a breath of cold air and even revealed a weak smile.
"Besides, even if I want to eat, I should eat you first."
“… Ang!” What a bastard! This is absolutely treasonous!
"Mr. Bai, come here." Su Si's voice suddenly became steady.
Mr. Bai stomped on the ground and walked over as majestically as possible. Before it could stand firmly, a warm object appeared on its body. It looked down and saw a warm red jade.
"I found this on that bastard. It's probably one of those little things they use to warm their fingers. Put this on and go away... anywhere."
"hold head high?"
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. It is as cold as an ice cellar in here. How could this person be willing to give away such a treasure
"You are small, you can't rely on this thing to save your life. In my situation, it's useless to just warm my fingers... I don't want to live for a moment."
Su Si seemed to have figured something out, and his smile became even brighter.
"Doesn't this sentence sound like 'hero'?"
What a mess! Master Bai had a warm jade hanging on his chest and tried to twist Su Si's hand.
However, Su Si did not respond. He half-closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was resting or had lost consciousness. Mr. Bai rubbed his head against the man's palm, which was cold.
This isn't how it should be, it thought dully.
Maybe it should stop here, maybe it is not wrong, maybe there will be a turn for the better. It has lived for so long by warning of good and bad luck and leaving everything to fate. As long as it finds the right human slave to rely on, it doesn't need to think about anything or do anything.
Its capabilities have never been wrong.
Considering this, Master Bai tried to twist Su Si again. Su Si still didn't respond. It hung its head and sat there blankly.
Su Si had very little chance of survival and he was really about to die.
Maybe it should listen to him, leave here, and find the next lucky person to eat and drink for free. Even if its prediction is wrong by half, at least its own life is not in danger.
But Master Bai was still a little unhappy. The warm jade on his chest made him feel uncomfortable.
Su Si must have come here alone because he saw it was so quiet along the way, right? What exactly is its ability...
never mind.
Mr. Bai stretched his neck, shouted loudly, and his two fleshy tentacles drooped completely.
It no longer wants to think about whether it has the ability or not, or whether the situation is good or bad. Those things are too complicated, and it makes its head swell. There is nothing wrong with being a goose. If you get benefits, you should return benefits. Being a goose also requires morality.
Bai Ye flapped his wings and rushed out of the cave. His body was white, and once he stepped on the snow, only his orange beak and paws were left. The wind and snow stopped for a while, and there was silence all around. Bai Ye's feathers puffed up, and he ran to the most open place, raised his head and shouted non-stop.
It was thirsty from barking, so it lowered its head and ate a mouthful of snow. It didn't know how long Su Si could hold out, nor did it know if there was anyone around. It just barked like a curse, and the more it barked, the more tired it became, but also the more refreshed it felt.
If it doesn't want to die, it will cry until it has just enough strength to save its life. In this way, it can leave this northern land with its head held high.
If it owed a servant a favor, wouldn't it be very embarrassing
Bai Ye didn't remember how long he had been barking, he was a little dizzy from the noise. He only remembered that when the dark clouds dispersed and the stars appeared, a pair of feet stopped in front of him.
It raised its head and saw a young woman wearing a dark red cape, with delicate makeup and scorching eyes.
"What am I? It turns out to be a little goose demon."
She said with a smile, stroking the small silver whistle around her neck.
On one side of her shoulder, three fat sparrows huddled together, tilting their heads curiously.
