The two quietly returned to the small courtyard. At this moment, the chaos had turned into the room. The maids and servants went in and out, and they were busy carrying water and decocting medicine, but the courtyard was very quiet.
The cage for the "tiger" was placed in a corner of the courtyard, away from the main house. The yellow talisman was still attached to the animal's face, and the end of the talisman paper gently undulated with its breathing.
"Looking cute when you fell asleep," Mu Xiyun looked up at Gu Qingqiao: "Just like someone."
Gu Qingqiao smiled, stretched out his hand and embraced him and said, "I've never been good, I can't compare to our Mu Xianjun, especially..."
Mu Xiyuan bent his elbow and nudged him, turned his face to continue to look at the beast, but his ears turned red.
Seeing him like this, Gu Qingqiao stopped teasing him and observed it carefully for a while before saying, "Looking at the proportions of this animal, how does it feel like a cub?"
If there is a young beast, there must be an adult beast nearby. I don't know why this little beast was left alone.
Mu Xiyun looked back at the busy house beside him, then glanced at Gu Qingqiao again, hesitant.
Gu Qingqiao grinned and said, "You want to use this cub as bait to lure its parents out, but you are afraid of endangering the family?"
"Well," Mu Xiyun pondered: "If that Dalang was really swallowed by the soul, then the power of this animal to eat the soul is probably very strong. This is just a small beast, and it will attract big beasts later, don't worry. If it is this family, even other people in the town may suffer!"
"That's not difficult," Gu Qingqiao said with a smile, "Brother help you get the cage away."
After saying that, he got up and lifted the iron cage, and jumped out of the courtyard wall.
The two did not dare to stop in the town, so they took the iron cage out of the town and came to a clearing in the woods.
Putting the iron cage in the center of the open space, Gu Qingqiao carefully tore off the yellow talisman attached to the forehead of the little "tiger".
It didn't take long for the little "tiger" to wake up and start wandering restlessly in the cage.
Gu Qingqiao stretched his arms around Mu Xiyuan's waist and jumped up to a nearby tree. Sitting steadily on the branch of the tree, he took out his sleeve pocket, took out a few pieces of snacks, and carefully fed them to Mu Xiyun's mouth.
Reflexively opening her mouth to take in the snacks, Mu Xiyuan was surprised: "Why do you still bring food?"
"Not only food, but also drink." Gu Qingqiao then took out a jug from the Qiankun bag.
The two of them sat on a tree branch, drinking snacks and drinking wine, very relaxed and comfortable.
After half an hour, Mu Xiyun suddenly paused and looked at Gu Qingqiao. Gu Qingqiao waved his hand and took back the food. The two of them each looked for a tree branch to stand, holding their breath, and staring at the open space under the tree.
The bushes in the distance rustled and the bushes were violently separated. Not long after, a big "tiger" appeared in front of the two of them.
The beasts are tall and tall, with the same flat face, the same small eyes and big mouths, when all fours are on the ground, but this big "tiger" has a pair of feathered wings on its back.
When the little beast in the cage saw the big beast coming, it screamed, squeezed into the corner of the cage, and stretched out its claws to call.
The big beast came to the cage, touched the small beast's outstretched claws with its head, and licked the little beast's head. Then, it raised its giant claws and slapped the corner of the iron cage.
That's it!
Two figures were shot from the tree next to the clearing. Mu Xiyun unsheathed his long sword and slashed the front paw raised by the big beast; Gu Qingqiao shot with two knives, directly slicing the big beast's eyes and throat.
"Woo!" The big beast whined, and saw blood on its front paws and forehead at the same time. It took a step back, let out a roar, and rushed forward, rushing towards Mu Xiyun.
The long sword in Mu Xiyun's hand was woven into a sword net, and it was firmly guarded in front of his chest. He could only hear a few dings, and the animal's claws suddenly collided with the sword's edge, and sparks flew everywhere in the dark night.
Gu Qingqiao stepped forward, and the hilt of the short knife slapped the big beast's ears. The beast's ears are mostly the key points. If this is true, the big beast will be killed on the spot.
Seemingly feeling the crisis, the big beast twisted and rolled on the spot, and actually escaped from the two men's attack between the lightning and flint.
Another roar, this time it didn't attack, its small eyes fixed on Mu Xiyun.
Mu Xiyun only felt that there was a flash of light in his eyes, his mind suddenly dizzy, and his soul suddenly came out of his body, caught by the eyes of the big beast, and drifted towards it involuntarily.
Gu Qingqiao, who was standing beside him, saw that Mu Xiyun suddenly stopped moving, his face was pale and cold sweat broke out. Knowing that he must have been injured somewhere, he hurriedly threw a knife at the big beast and shouted: "Ayun!"
The knife headed towards the big beast's eyes, and the big beast shrank back and turned to force the blade.
Mu Xiyuan's spirit immediately broke free from control and returned to his body.
After staggering a bit, Mu Xiyuan finally recovered.
"Are you okay?" Gu Qingqiao asked.
"It's fine, don't look into its eyes!" Mu Xiyun replied.
The two waved their weapons and continued to attack the big beast.
The big beast had been injured before, and now he was fighting with people again, and he gradually felt that he could not bear it. A quarter of an hour later, it used all its strength to force the two back a few steps, immediately turned around and spread its wings, grabbed with both claws, and actually took the little beast into a cage and flew with it.
Mu Xiyuan threw out the long sword with the sword in hand, and immediately rose up with the sword. Pulling an ancient green bridge, the two immediately chased after the big beast.
Don't look at the huge beast, but its flying speed is not slow. Mu Xiyun Yujian failed to catch up in a short period of time.
After chasing and escaping for more than a hundred miles, the situation in the air rose.
A large dark cloud was approaching, with lightning flashing in the cloud, which was obviously a precursor to a storm.
Mu Xiyun gritted his teeth and urged the sword, trying to catch up with the big beast before entering the rain cloud.
The big beast was obviously thinking the same way, flapping its wings faster, trying to hide in the dark clouds.
A burst of dazzling electric light slammed down from the cloud, hitting the forehead of the big beast.
In the air, the two saw the big beasts and the small beasts plummeting to the ground. Before deciding whether to stop or chase, the second electric light was already blowing towards them.
"Be careful!" Gu Qingqiao hugged Mu Xiyun's waist and shouted in the hunting wind.
Mu Xiyun Yujian turned sharply, barely avoiding the lightning, and saw that the third lightning was about to take shape.
Without thinking about it, he turned around and rushed to the ground.
At this moment, the two of them were above a valley with dense trees under their feet. Thunder and lightning were still chasing them. Gu Qingqiao then shouted in Mu Xiyun's ear: "Go down to the tree, and then fly horizontally, be careful not to touch the trunk!"
Mu Xiyun nodded silently.
"Crack!" A large tree was struck by lightning, and the sturdy trunk was split in half, igniting a raging fire.
The two had reached the jungle at this time, no longer worried about being chased by lightning, and only accelerated to escape from the fire. Fortunately, a heavy rain poured down a moment later, dousing the fire, otherwise, this piece of forest would have been burned.
After a stick of incense, Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao stood under a big tree, soaked all over. Seeing that the two of them were all covered in mud and water, their faces were black and gray, and under the scouring of the rain, their faces were black and white, and they all laughed.
Gu Qingqiao wiped Mu Xiyun's face with his sleeve and smiled, "They've all turned into little cats!"
"Aren't you?" Mu Xi also raised her sleeves to wipe his face.
The two of them wiped away, the more they wiped, the more smudged it became. When they looked more closely, they found that the sleeves were covered in muddy water.
It's been a few days since autumn, and the autumn rain is getting cooler. Guqingqiao found a big tree with dense branches and leaves, built a shelf with a few sturdy branches, covered a large amount of banana leaves, and made a simple shed.
Pulling Mu Xiyun under the shed and holding him in his arms, Gu Qingqiao pressed his face and asked, "Is it cold?"
Mu Xiyun turned his head and pecked his chin, "It's not cold, I don't know where those two beasts went."
"The big one was struck by lightning, and if it didn't die, it was seriously injured." Gu Qingqiao retracted his arms and hugged Mu Xiyun tighter, saying, "As for the small one, it might fall off the cage. It's hanging on a tree. Look for it when the rain stops."
The heavy rain was still pouring, and there were occasional raindrops falling under the shed, but the two hugging people didn't care, they warmed each other with their body temperature, and quietly waited for the rain to stop.
After another hour, the rain gradually stopped, and the two walked out of the small canopy. Mu Xiyun applied a cleansing technique to remove the dirt on the two of them. Just as he was about to knead the method to dry the clothes, Gu Qingqiao took out two low-level fire talismans.
Mu Xiyuan: "...Are you planning to take revenge on me?" Apparently, she had thought of using a low-level fire talisman to dry clothes for Gu Qingqiao in the cave at the top of Lingshan Mountain.
Gu Qingqiao laughed: "I don't dare, I just want to try it."
However, Mu Xiyuan didn't give him this chance. With a little use of his spiritual power, he dried his clothes and slapped Gu Qingqiao on the back. Just as he was about to output spiritual energy, Gu Qingqiao grabbed his hand. "Don't use your spiritual power indiscriminately. When you fought against that big beast just now, you consumed a lot of spiritual power, making your face pale!"
As he said that, he used his spiritual power to dry the clothes, and then put Mu Xiyun's hand in his arms to warm it.
"Hey, if you didn't tell me, I forgot," Mu Xiyuan said, "that fierce beast can indeed capture its soul. At that time, when I saw its eyes, the spirit immediately left the body. If you hadn't forced it to close its eyes and turn its head, I don't know if it will hurt him."
Gu Qingqiao clenched his arms when he heard the words, and Mu Xiyuan's unstable soul had always been a big worry for him.
Mu Xiyun didn't care, and continued: "In this way, this kind of beast may live by devouring the soul, and there are so many people in the town, the reason why the little beast will attack the Duan family's big man is probably because the big man is because of The treatment of the plague has opened the door of the gods, and the soul and the body are inseparable, and it is easy to be extracted and swallowed."
"That's right," Gu Qingqiao sighed: "Mortals open the gate of God, and there are fewer restrictions on the entry and exit of the soul, and maybe the soul escapes at some point. It is indeed a big hidden danger. I hope it is as Miss Luo said, and it will only have an impact of three months. ."
Mu Xiyuan tilted her head and thought for a while: "After we leave the mountain, we still have to send a message to the inn of Jinjin Pavilion, and let Hundred Flowers City take more precautions, so as not to attract fierce beasts and hurt the residents."
Gu Qingqiao nodded.
The sky is already bright now, and the sky is as blue as a wash after the heavy rain. The two stepped over a large tree that was lying down, and Gu Qingqiao suddenly made a "huh".
"What's wrong?" Mu Xiyun turned to look at him.
Gu Qingqiao turned around and looked around, then stepped forward to touch the trunk of a big tree, and hesitantly said, "This is the Valley of Witch Doctors!"
