It sounded like a muffled laugh, as if he didn't expect Xie Bai to recognize the right way at all.
Xie Bai unceremoniously patted it on the forehead, and just when he raised his hand to throw a piece of black mist across the river again, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the ground beside his feet, there was a brown-black mass on which there was still some With a hint of aura that seems to be absent.
He stepped aside and squatted down, hesitated for a while, but lowered his head with a little disgust and wrapped his hands with black mist, then picked up the brown-black mass, and twisted it on his fingertips. The scorched black part disintegrated into ash when he touched it, and finally only a small brown piece remained.
This is obviously a used piece of paper that was burned by someone with a spiritual fire, but I don't know if it was careless or something interrupted it halfway, so that it was thrown on the ground before it was burned. There is still so little left. dross.
Xie Bai looked at the fragments in his hand, which were no bigger than a fingernail, and for a moment couldn't tell what kind of paper it was before it was scorched by the spiritual fire.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to be dumbfounded in the fine snow, so he raised his hand to collect the fragments first, and then took the little black cat through Yin Gate and crossed the river, one person and one cat arrived at the small island in the river in a blink of an eye.
The island looks small from a distance, but even smaller up close. It is said to be a small island, but you can walk to the end in about ten steps, but it is just a mound protruding in the middle of the river. There are some dry reeds growing sparsely here, with long yellow leaves drooping on the top of the poles, covered with a very thin layer of snow.
As soon as Xie Bai landed here, he felt that the whole mound was a bit weird. When he walked around the edge, his steps would involuntarily become a little heavy in some places, as if he was being pulled towards the ground by some invisible thing.
He walked around twice and identified two such points, one in the center of the mound and one on the edge. And the place on the edge happened to be far away from the shore, and if I'm not mistaken, it was the "Fisherman crossing the west bank" written on the note.
"I found it." He scratched the little black cat's head, explained to it, and then raised his hand and snapped a long and thin reed. Holding one end of the reed pole with his fingers, he tried to pat the river surface twice with the end of the dead leaf, and then turned his wrist again and again.
I saw the river water on the edge of the mound suddenly turned up a big snow-white wave, as if trying to push up the things under the river.
And in fact, it was true. When the two big waves turned over, two lively fish and a dark thing were pushed ashore.
Xie Bai took a step forward, picked up the live fish and looked at each one.
The two live fish had strange appearances, their whole bodies glowed with black and shiny water, they looked so slippery that they had almost no scales, their whole bodies were completely black even their bellies, except for a white hair embedded in their heads. fisheye. What's even more strange is that only one side has grown, and the other side doesn't even have eyes.
This fish, Xie Bai, obviously saw quite a few, and he didn't look surprised at all. He lowered his head and stroked the fish belly lightly with his fingertips wrapped in black bandages, then squatted down and rinsed the two fish cleanly in the river water, and then slapped Xiao Hei with a "snap". In front of the cat, he said: "I untie the spirit bondage for you, come and eat."
Little black cat: "..."
After untying the spirit bondage, the little black cat can really move.
Of course, its body had already been shaken by this simple and crude food, and it became stiff like a coffin board. It was so hard that it didn't react at all to jump. It fell to the ground purely because Xie Bai lowered his hand, and it rolled to the ground naturally.
Xie Bai has never raised any living things in his life except himself and Yin Wushu. Of course, the actual meaning of the first half of the sentence has to be said.
In short, no matter how unknown the origin of this little black cat is, it is also the first pet that Xie Bai has kept so far. Everything is difficult at the beginning, this saying is very tragically confirmed by Xie Bai. The little black cat squatted in front of the two black strange fish that were bigger than it, with a tiger face, as if it wanted to strongly condemn Xie Bai.
However, all Xie Bai's attention was on the black lump in his hand, and he didn't notice the cat's eyes at all.
He didn't really just use the reed pole to fish for the fish just now, he rushed to fish for the information about the demon corpse, but in the end he caught two live Yin fish and a black lump of unknown origin. The former is because it has the same original shape as that demon corpse, as for the latter...
Xie Bai knocked on the hard black lump, then raised his hand to peel it off, peeling off a layer of skin from it.
Once the skin is peeled off, the core inside is immediately exposed. Xie Bai took a closer look at the grain and decided it was a piece of willow.
And the shape of this willow is very interesting, with a square top and a sharp bottom, like a piece of artificially cut wooden nails. If a piece of wood falls into the river, it will float on the surface of the river, but this willow square nail is wrapped in a layer
