Early the next morning, I left the White Tiger Camp at night and went to the Kushui Temple in Xicheng, now Juyizhuang.

Because he was disturbed by a bunch of things before, he never bothered to come here to find Luhua, and now that he has finally escaped, he naturally wants to arrest this ambitious guy back as soon as possible.

Luhua is not just a chicken, but also a commemorative chicken.

It was transformed by a stone egg that he and Zhang Chun'er found when they were adventuring in the depths of Shanhaijian, and he has kept it by his side all these years, just to see Zhang Chun'er again one day in the future, and to give her the reed flower as a gift.

Ye Mo also knew that the reed flower that popped out of the stone egg was not a chicken, but he never knew what kind of spirit bird it was.

It wasn't until that day that he came out of the glazed sky, saw the reed flower that had changed greatly, only to find that it was actually a phoenix bird, when his father opened the furnace and cast a knife in the mountains and seas, he had caught a purple phoenix to sacrifice to the god of fire.

This bird is a bird of pure fire, transformed by yang essence, and its essence and blood can be burned forever, and it is the furnace protection artifact that swordsmiths dream of.

If he can find a suitable spirit in the future, with Lu Hua by his side, he will be able to cast Heichai into an artifact, and before he completely refines the "Falling Moon" into a life-saving object, he will really have a handy guy to defend himself, so as not to be as timid as he was when he faced Fan Yan.

Moreover, there is a more important thing, that is, the big jar of hanging money that inexplicably appeared in his Sumeru.

No need to ask, it must be the dry food that Lu Hua saved privately.

But the point is that he can't pick up a single one.

When I find Luhua, I have to think about it to see if this guy has any way to solve this matter.

The young man walked while thinking, and soon came to Ganlu Lane in the west of the city.

Like the rest of the city, the streets and alleys here have become much wider, and there are fireworks in the empty houses on the left and right sides of the temple.

Ye Yu came to the gate that was still being expanded and repaired, and saw that the guards were not as strict as when they followed Feng Monkey to Yizhuang outside the city, and some craftsmen went in and out, just shaking the token with the guards next to the door, so he also drew a scoop according to the gourd, took out the White Tiger Camp token, followed the feet of the two big men, and blended into the courtyard without much effort.

The main hall in the temple has been renewed, that is, there are still some craftsmen on the side of the bitter water well are busy, the old locust tree has withered branches and leaves, the tree is full of gold, and there is no original prosperity, giving people a bleak beauty.

At this time, under the tree was standing an old woman with a hunched waist, full of red hair, combing a thick braid that was a foot long, facing him sideways, playing with a little girl who looked about three or four years old.

The little girl was dressed in a gray cloth shirt, with two pigtails on her head, a strip of cloth on her pink little face, and a delicate little sword in her little hand, and was circling the old woman, trying to use the sword to pierce a golden bell tied to the old woman's braid.

Don't look at the young age of the girl, but her movements are extremely flexible, with a good light skills, and the flash and jump are like a small whirlwind.

But every time her little pocket sword stabbed out, it was a little short of the bell, and once in a while, the little girl would scream with excitement and let out a giggle laugh.

I have been in Taiping City for a long time, and I am not surprised by this kind of thing, so I didn't dare to get too close, I only looked up at the old locust tree, and I looked for a long time between the branches, and I didn't see the figure of Luhua, I was scratching my head a little, but I suddenly heard the little girl under the tree exclaim, "Master!" ”

The young man with the bamboo basket on his back was stunned, but he saw the little girl tear off the blindfolded cloth, pounce on him in the air, and crash into his arms, her little hands and feet were firmly entangled like an octopus, and she rubbed her head against his chest.

"You ......"

The night was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned on the spot, and a long-lost warm current suddenly rose in his heart.

Looking at the posture of the little girl who wants to drill into his arms, it is clearly the signature of Luhua.

"Luhua?"

Ye Mo held the little girl's arm in both hands, lifted her up in front of her, and saw her staring at him affectionately with two big teary eyes and a small mouth.

The young man was a little vacant, and said in surprise: "You, why did you become a sperm?" ”

The red-haired old woman saw Ye Yu and heard such words again, her face was slightly gloomy: "It's not Cheng Jing, it's a transformation, you are Ye Yan, my surname is Cui, and I am the housekeeper of Juyi Village."

Ye Mo put down the reed flower, took her little hand again, and nodded slightly at the old woman: "Thank you for taking care of her these days, I'm here to take her home"

After speaking, he pulled Lu Hua's hand, turned around and walked out the door.

Lu Hua drooped her head, silently followed Ye Yan's side, and secretly glanced at the old woman behind her, with some reluctance on her little face.

A trace of coldness appeared on Granny Cui's old face, and she felt that Ye Mo did not know how to be polite, and a breath of yin and cold suddenly spread from under her feet, and the soft fallen leaves on the ground became cold and hard in an instant.

I only heard her say coldly: "Ta Dun is not a good place, I advise you to think about it, and also think about the little bean sprouts"

Nightmuffler stopped and turned back: "It's none of your business"

Granny Cui saw that the ten-year-old child in front of her was talking while pulling out a firewood knife from the bamboo basket, as if she wanted to do something with her, she sneered, and the braid on the back of her head shook in the air, like a scorpion tail.

Seeing this, Lu Hua hurriedly stretched out her little arms, supported her little hands, and stood in front of Ye Yu, looking at the old woman's eyes full of pleading.

Seeing this, Granny Cui's heart softened, and she was a little helpless: "Don't you want to know her current situation, why don't we sit down and talk, I like this little bean sprout very much and want to take her as an apprentice, but you are her master, and I still need to listen to your opinion"

Ye Yan frowned: "Accept apprentices? Do you just teach the kind of swordsmanship you just had? ”

Granny Cui shook her head, "Her talent is extremely high, she is a black phoenix with pure blood, she is the king of phoenixes, she doesn't need to cultivate like you human cultivators at all, just now she is self-taught, and it has nothing to do with the old body."

Yeyu was a little caught off guard by the changes in Luhua, and when she heard the old woman's tone, she was suspicious: "You are a demon clan?" ”

Granny Cui didn't answer, but just raised a hand, and a golden flame immediately condensed in the palm of her hand, like the tail feather of a phoenix bird, faintly exuding colors.

In an instant, the dead leaves on the locust tree above her head and the fallen leaves under her feet all silently turned to charred ash, drifting in all directions with the breeze.

Seeing this, Lu Hua's pink little face suddenly became extremely excited, and her big eyes stared directly at the fire, as if she had seen the most desired food, and her whole body began to emit black flames, instantly burning the sleeves on half of Yeyu's arms to ashes.

Although he felt a burning sensation, he didn't let go.

However, he was actually very shocked, the moment he saw the fire in the old woman's hand, he already knew that the old man in front of him was not easy to mess with, and it turned out to be the same phoenix clan as Luhua.

As far as he knew, there were five kinds of the Phoenix Clan, namely Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple, and White, and the old man was obviously the Red Phoenix Clan, the top existence in the Phoenix.

In the entire demon clan, there are only a few that can be compared.

Ye Mo hesitated a little, and secretly clenched the handle of the knife.

He didn't expect to meet such a powerful demon cultivator in Kushui Temple, originally he didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time, but looking at the posture in front of him, if he didn't fight, he was afraid that it would be difficult to take Luhua away.

"You should cherish this opportunity, she will only waste this talent by following you, but if you can worship your mother-in-law as a teacher, she will definitely be a great help to you in the future!"

At this moment, accompanied by a somewhat hoarse voice, a middle-aged man wearing a black hat and a crane suddenly walked out of the main hall.

It was Cui Santong, the big boss of Juyizhuang, who bargained with Yeyu that night and wanted to buy Luhua.

Ye Mo turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was standing on the steps with his back hand, and thought about it again: "What can she teach Lu Hua?" ”

Granny Cui smiled faintly and only said two words.

Returning to the senses.

Ye Yu's heart was suddenly shocked, although he was not a demon cultivator, but he was no stranger to the cultivation of the demon clan, because his mother was a demon clan, and he was also the top kind of existence.

The demon race is completely different from the human race, and attaches great importance to blood, and there are ancient, ancient, and ancient divisions.

Gaining great strength through "cultivation" similar to the human race is only the path that the ancient species with the lowest bloodline in the demon race will choose.

The vast majority of demon clans improve their abilities through "sacrifice" and "return to the gods".

Among them, sacrificial training is the most common, which refers to a cultivation method that integrates and absorbs the natal talent of demon beasts by killing powerful demon beasts.

And the return to the gods is through the sacrifice to the powerful three ancient ancestors, through a set of extremely special secret rituals, to communicate time and space, please descend divine power, so as to awaken the hidden in the deepest part of the bloodline Zu Teng to strengthen his own secret method.

"Why?"

Ye Yu suddenly spoke, staring at Cui Santong who was looking down on him.

"Why don't you come in and talk about it?"

Cui Santong smiled and raised his hand.

Ye Su groaned slightly, put the black wood back behind his back, and walked slowly towards the main hall.

Granny Cui hid her burning hand behind her back, and beckoned to Luhua with a deep smile.

Ye Mo looked at the little girl who was looking up at him with longing eyes, and felt a little helpless, so she opened her hand easily.

The little girl swooped to the bottom of the tree, circled around Granny Cui, and grabbed left and right.

Ye Yan came to the hall that had been converted into a living room, and did not sit down, but after Cui Santong closed the door with his backhand, he turned around and said: "Cui Da is in charge, let's get straight to the point."

Cui Santong looked up and down curiously, and said: "Originally, I wanted to take her as a spiritual pet, which is just complementary to the exercises I practiced, but I didn't expect that this little guy had eaten a lot of money and scum before, and soon after I brought him to the Baiju River, he turned into a person, and his spiritual wisdom opened early, and he refused to recognize me as the master, so I could only retreat and find my mother-in-law to teach her, the two of them belong to the same clan, and they get along very well, now if you can agree to her to worship under Granny Cui's knees, then we are a family, and what I ask for is also very simple, I just want to wait until she is successful in cultivation, and break the prohibition of a Xuan Realm for me."

Ye Mo thought for a moment and said, "Is it really that simple? ”

Cui Santong smiled: "Tong Suo is not bullied"

"Will the reed flower be in danger?"

"Of course there is, but I can promise you that it won't hurt her, otherwise my mother-in-law wouldn't spare me."

"Why do you have to do it?"

Cui Santong shook his head, just smiled and didn't answer, the meaning was obvious, this was a secret.

After hearing the two words of the old woman, he had already decided to change his plan, and said after a while: "You just said that she ate a lot of money scum, is it those copper coins that fell under the tree?" ”

"Not bad"

"I once watched her pecking copper coins under the tree, but those coins are very strange, they seem to be there, but they can't touch them, they can't pick them up, what is it?"

"Have you ever heard of the legend of Kusui Temple?"

Nightshade nodded.

Cui Santong put his hands behind his back and said: "Those money are all prayer money thrown by the people of the ancient city when they came to the temple to ask for blessing water, and each one carries the heavenly wish of the old monk Huaigen."

"You mean that Luhua ate the Liuli Tiantian Dao fragments before?"

Cui Santong nodded, but a hint of different color flashed in his eyes.

Ye Yan saw that he was testing him, and he must have been the same as Fan Yan, but he didn't know the specific situation that day, but he didn't care.

But it is not good to ask further about this matter, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

"I need to think about it", Ye Mo decided to retreat.

Cui Santong smiled: "Yes, but don't let your mother-in-law wait too long"

Yeyu nodded, opened the door of the main hall, came to the old locust tree, grabbed the reed flower that was still running around, took her little hand, and walked straight towards the temple gate without saying a word.

Granny Cui's face was a little cold, but when she saw Cui Santong nodding lightly, she didn't say anything more.

When the night was gone, Cui Santong slowly came to the tree and said respectfully: "Mother-in-law, don't read it, within three days, he will definitely send the little bean sprouts back."

Granny Cui snorted coldly, her eyes were a little gloomy: "Where did you come from, a wild boy, you don't know the rules so much"

Cui Santong shook his head: "It is said that it has something to do with Yueyinmen, and it seems that I still know some of the inside story below, which is very interesting."

Granny Cui sighed again and turned around and walked to the backyard.

"Tee, don't make me wait too long"

Cui Santong nodded humbly, put his hands into his sleeves, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The general trend is about to change, I can't wait long."
