If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 632: Covering the Sky and the Moon
Xiaoyu wanted to continue to inquire about Fenglinzhou.

But Qingluan only knew that Fenglinzhou was, as its name suggested, the hometown of the phoenix and the unicorn.

He himself had never been to Fenglin Prefecture, but had only heard about Fenglin Prefecture from other phoenix-like divine birds on Cuiyun Mountain in Afang Palace.

He was very excited after hearing this and planned to save money to bribe the imperial steward so that he could finish his military service early and return home.

Well, that's right, this group of divine birds, like the Qin Dynasty people, were conscripted by the Human Emperor to serve in the Qin Dynasty for a limited period of time.

Those who have made outstanding contributions can end their labor early.

Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

At least it has become a reality for Emperor Ying Zheng.

Even Fenglinzhou, one of the "Ten Fairy Islands", was forced to offer its people to the Human Emperor: a group of baby birds and bird eggs.

At this time, Xiaoyu and the Qingluan messenger who carried her were essentially the same kind, both of them were "foreign talents" summoned by the Qin Dynasty to serve in the court.

It’s just that Qingluan is a bird, and Xiaoyu is a human.

But Qingluan is a divine bird, and its intelligence level is far above the human standard.

In addition to the Feng family, Fenglinzhou also has the Qilin beast.

Some senior generals of the Qin Dynasty, after having made outstanding contributions to the court, were even qualified to go to Fenglinzhou to choose a divine beast to mount.

For example, the famous god of killing Bai Qi rode a fiery unicorn.

It's a pity that Xiaoyu is a stingy person.

Qingluan refused to say anything more as he refused to give her a magical golden elixir as labor fee.

Well, the main reason is that Xiaoyu feels the price-performance ratio is too low.

She will arrive in Xianyang in two days and become a high-ranking official in the court.

As a high-ranking official in the Qin Dynasty, can't you see some common sense within the court?

If you can't see it, you can ask someone. Why spend huge amounts of money to talk nonsense with a bird?
To her, a golden elixir of the demon fairy at least represents a powerful magical power of the demon clan!

"Xiao Qiang, how do you feel now?"

Even after the Qingluan messenger despised her for being stingy and refused to pay any attention to her, Xiaoyu still felt uneasy.

"Master, I'm too excited now." Xiao Qiang said with a yellow dog head popping out of the jade bone bell, excited but lowering his voice, "As the saying goes, a toad wants to eat a swan.

I am a local dog, but now I follow my master and ride on the divine bird!
Riding a phoenix into the court, oh my god, today I finally understand the truth that 'when the master attains enlightenment, the yellow dog ascends to heaven'.

But what makes me even more excited is that after several years of absence, I can finally be by my master's side again and accompany him in his travels around the world~~Woof woof woof, master, I'm so happy~~"

And the master harvested a lot of demon pills this time.

It couldn't eat enough, so its owner let it absorb as much as it wanted, but it ate too much and couldn't digest it.

This is simply the happiest trouble in the world.

Xiao Yu said, "I'm not asking how you feel. After leaving Xishu and crossing the Liusha River, I suddenly felt uneasy, as if I was looked at by a goblin. Do you feel it?"

The excitement on Xiaoqiang's face disappeared. After carefully sensing for a while, he hesitated and said, "I don't seem to feel anything. Master, how do you know it's a goblin looking at you?

Back then, the master could see dozens of miles away at a glance. The Qingluan Imperial Envoy was a divine bird, and his vision was even sharper.

If there are demons watching from a distance, can they hide from your eyes?"

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "It's not directly with the eyes. Maybe he used the Qi-gazing technique or some similar magical technique.

Let alone dozens of miles away, when I was the prime minister of Western Shu, I could see thousands of miles away at a glance.

When they saw the evil spirits hiding in the market, they immediately shuddered.

I can sense their energy, which means their fate is about to end, and their energy and luck will suddenly end, so I feel something.

I feel a bit like them at this moment.”

Xiao Qiang lowered his voice, "Didn't you use the Village Girl Sword to conceal your own aura?"

Xiaoyu looked down at Qingluan, who was radiating fairy light and colors. She did hide her anger, but this guy didn't restrain himself at all.

She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a jar as big as a teapot. She said, "Could your dog treasure Black Mountain be used to store things from the world of the living now?"

"No. Goubao has suppressed quite a few ghosts, most of which were left behind by the master who failed to deal with them."

After a pause, Xiao Qiang added, "By the way, Niu Er is dead. His crime of murder and robbery was exposed, and it should be Bai Zhulian from Xinghua Village who did it.

Niu Er, together with more than 20 villagers, seven officials from Tianmen Town, and three clerks from Yingxiang Prefecture were all taken to Caishikou and executed.

Originally, Magistrate Li of Tianmen Town wanted to suppress this case.

He is totally incomparable to Zhu Yitai, who does not even try to hide his corruption and abuse of power.

However, Tianmen Town and Yingxiang Prefecture were the most prosperous places for commerce. When the news spread, the merchants were not happy.

Niu Er specializes in killing foreign merchants, and it is them who are being harmed!
In the end, even the imperial court was alarmed, but Magistrate Li had a strong background. His last name was "Li", which was... well, in front of you, background and so on are useless."

Xiao Qiang tilted his head to look at his master, with a strange expression on his dog face, "No matter how strong his background is, it is not as strong as the master's iron fist. If the master kills him, the people of the whole city will cheer!"

"I'm not specifically targeting corrupt officials. I'm killing him because he killed people." Xiao Yu said.

If we really want to "fight tigers", probably 70% to 80% of all officials in Western Shu will be gone.

Xiao Qiang said: "I caught Niu Er's ghost. He wanted to become a fierce ghost, but he was executed by the court, and his evil spirit and resentment were suppressed. He had the intention, but not enough "qi".

Now he has been trained by me into a 'Five Elements Ghost Envoy'.

Can perform the transportation technique to help transport things.

In order to help him accumulate good karma, I often teach him how to "reward the good and punish the evil".

He would transform into a ghost, scare and beat up street bullies of his kind, and send some money to poor and lonely families.

I don't know how much effect it has.

If the master needs someone to run errands, he can call on his general. "

"I don't need to run errands now." Xiao Yu patted the jar in his hand, "This is called 'Yao Huan San'! Try to see if you can refine it into the Yin energy in your body." "What is Yao Huan San used for?" Xiao Qiang asked.

"It's poison. It makes the goblins die happily. After you refine it, you can inject the venom into the enemy's body when you bite them." Xiaoyu said.

"How do I refine it? This is poison, not the essence of heaven and earth!" Xiaoqiang said.

"Do you still remember the 'Poison Hand Yama' Hao Ruhai? He used the method of practicing poison skills to refine it.

Of course, you are a demon ghost, and your body is Black Mountain, so you cannot practice in the ordinary way."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then came up with an idea, and continued, "Your dog treasure at least developed his Qi channels in the Black Mountain, right?"

Xiao Qiang said: "The Qi channel has always been there, and now it is even stronger."

Xiao Yu said: “You opened up another poison vein in the Goubao Black Mountain, just like the mineral veins under the mountains in the human world.

A mountain can contain many kinds and veins of minerals.

You used the poison technique to cultivate a poison vein in the Black Mountain, which will not affect your fundamental method.

It can only be considered a technique.”

As she spoke, she had quickly come up with a set of "Black Mountain Poison Vein Method" in her mind.

Xiao Qiang was both happy and worried about the new method. "Master, I am not as gifted as you. I can't immediately build a poison vein in the Black Mountain!"

Xiao Yu opened the lid of the jar a little, "Come in first and soak in it. Refine as much as you can. If you can't do it, put some poison on your teeth and keep some poison in your mouth.

If we really encounter an enemy later, it might be able to have some effect."

"Okay~~" Xiao Qiang turned into a wisp of black smoke and went into the jar.

Xiaoyu put the jar back into her sleeve.

After thinking for a while, she took out a small package from her sleeve again.

Inside was an off-white, wide-sleeved robe.

The dog-meat Taoist priest helped to deal with the stomach and skin of the toad spirit, and Sister Cui'er sewed the clothes for her.

According to the request she put forward that year, the sleeves of the plain and elegant black robe or Taoist gown must be wide enough.

Xiaoyu put on the new clothes.

"Master Yu, don't blame me for saying that. Although you are from a small foreign country, you have been a great man who served as the 'Prime Minister' after all. Don't be so petty."

Qingluan didn't say anything just now, but he heard everything that happened on his bird's back clearly.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoqiang's private whispers could not be hidden from Him at all.

Xiaoyu was about to speak when she suddenly felt something was wrong, but for a moment she didn't understand what was wrong.

She opened her "magic eye" and her pupils flickered with a faint light. She looked around and saw nothing unusual. She looked down and saw nothing unusual. She looked up at the sky and it was still pitch black.

"No, the moon and stars in the sky are gone!" Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Qingluan also glanced upwards at the night sky. The sky above her head was pitch black like a curtain.

He laughed in a clear voice, "I just said you were petty, and now you are acting foolishly. There are clouds in the sky, and the clouds will block the starlight and moonlight."

"There was moonlight and starlight before," Xiaoyu said.

The louder Qingluan laughed, the more he said, "Haven't you heard of 'the sun shines in the east and the rain falls in the west'? The east and west sides of a mountain may have different weather conditions. How fast are we going?

From the time we left Yingxiang Mansion to now, we have traveled three or four thousand miles!
If the weather remains the same, it would be abnormal.

We guess that this place just happened to encounter the "plum rain" season.

During the plum rain season, the rains continued for more than half a month, with no sun in the day and no stars or moon at night.

Xiao Yu felt anxious, so he stood up from his cross-legged sitting position, leaned over to the bird's neck and looked down, asking, "Have we entered the Mianyan Mountains? Do you know where the place is below?"

"It seems to be the 'Yellow Wind Ridge' east of the State of Ba." Qingluan said.

"It sounds familiar. How can a mountain be this big? Even if you fly so high, you can't see the end at a glance!" Xiaoyu said.

"Hey, you've never been far away, so you don't have any knowledge, right? The Yellow Wind Ridge stretches for more than 800 miles, so it's also called the 'Eight Hundred Mile Yellow Wind Ridge'." Qingluan said with a smile.

"Oh, now I remember, isn't the 800-li Yellow Wind Ridge the lair of the goblins?
You damned bird, how could you be so blind as to throw yourself right into the mouth of the demon king!" Xiao Yu stomped her feet and cursed.

The Qingluan messenger was furious and was about to shout a few times when suddenly a chill hit his heart like a hurricane.

He raised his head suddenly, his bird face turned pale, and he continued to scream, but the content of his scream had changed, "Ah my, you owl-tongued Feather Phoenix Fairy, you really provoked the Demon God~~"

There is absolutely no acceleration process.

The next moment, Qingluan turned into a beam of green light, so fast that Xiaoyu's vision became blurred.

But she was stable on the bird's back and was not thrown out.

"It's stable!" She squatted on the bird's back, looking at the moonlight and starlight that were pouring down again, and let out a long breath. "Your Excellency, I am an ignorant barbarian. I dared to doubt your speed just now. I was wrong. I admit that my tone was a little - rough~~ It's catching up again, you hurry up, ah, it's catching up~~"

Qingluan was moving very fast, so fast that she couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Xiaoyu estimated that the speed was definitely over 10,000 miles per hour.

But she had only taken two sentences to say that a ray of golden light had already appeared above their heads.

The golden light exploded and turned into a black shadow that covered the sky and the sun, once again shrouding the moonlight and starlight in the sky.

“Yu Fengxian, where are you escaping to!” The black shadow let out a cry that “truly pierces the clouds and splits the rocks.”

Xiaoyu's eardrum was almost ruptured.

"Damn it, the Golden Eagle King, must be the 'Golden Eagle King Covering the Sky'."

Xiaoyu's head has turned into a dragon head, and he uses the body of a black dragon to perform the ancient dragon magical power of "Searching for Spirits and Catching Pulses".

The purpose of searching for spirits and catching veins was originally to find water veins in rivers and determine the underwater position. At this time, she was using this magical power to find the source of water.

"Your Excellency, fly to the southeast, turn quickly!" she shouted anxiously.
