After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

The golden eagle stretched its neck and shook its head, grunting unwillingly before it caught the small red stone in its beak.

Then, it spread its thick and dense wings, flashed, and with a strong push of its claws, it immediately rushed into the air.

The young man raised his head and watched the golden eagle fly away. When its figure became a small black dot in the sky, he withdrew his gaze.

He held his injured right rib tightly, lowered his head, turned around, and staggered into the cave.

He went back to the corner, sat down, and swallowed with the taste of rust in his mouth, leaning against the wall of the cave.

The cave was a bit off, and the light from outside could not reach the corners. In the dim light, the young man slightly raised his chin, his features were cold and sharp.

After a long while, he moved and looked down at his open palm. In his blood-stained palm, there lay a jade pendant stained with blood, delicate and warm, with excellent texture.

The jade pendant is engraved with a pattern of a golden phoenix spreading its wings, which symbolizes good luck and family expectations.

Thinking of the person who gave him the jade pendant, no, the person who forcefully stuffed the jade pendant into his hand, the young man's eyes moved.

He slowly closed his palms and swallowed hard, trying to swallow the bloody smell in his throat.

He must not die here!

-

"My God, what kind of monster is this?" When the villagers saw clearly that the monster that was catching the sheep was a huge black shadow, they suddenly became panic-stricken.

If an adult goat can catch such a huge monster effortlessly, then it can also catch and eat humans, right?

In the middle of the night, if they get up to poop, will they also be captured by monsters?

This monster appears at night now. Will it come out to hunt for food during the day in the future?
The villagers were very uneasy, and when they looked at Shao Yin again, they all looked at her with hope and pleading: "We beg the immortal to help us get rid of this monster."

Shao Yin agreed to help the child find the sheep.

Now that we know the whereabouts of the sheep, it is not easy to leave immediately. Spending half a day on this matter, if it is not resolved satisfactorily, it will always be a waste of time.

It’s not like I’m afraid of that dark shadow.

"Yes." She nodded.

The villagers immediately bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal!"

It turns out that I met a kind-hearted immortal!

In this case, the masked man in the black robe was probably a person with an ugly face but a kind heart. They were quite disrespectful to him just now.

Some people moved stools, some served tea, and some killed chickens and geese to entertain people.

Shao Yin flicked her sleeves and said, "We cultivators have long stopped eating food from the mortal world."

He turned around, threw out the flying sword, and went to find the monster that caught the sheep.

Elder Jin threw out his flying sword without saying a word.

"Gah-"

But at this moment, a big bird flew over from a distance. How big was it? It looked like a round plate even before it came close.

"The monster is coming! The monster is coming!" Upon seeing this, the villagers immediately shouted in fear and hid in all directions.

Shao Yin raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky: "You came just in time! It saves me the trouble!"

If it didn't appear, she would have to go through the trouble of looking for it.

In an instant, the flying sword soared into the air and rushed towards the sky like a meteor.

Elder Jin has always been cautious, fearing that there might be other tricks. He stared at Shao Yin while emitting his spiritual sense.

Shao Yin had no worries and flew straight into the air. When she got closer, she recognized that the big bird was an unusually sized golden eagle.

"How brave!" She flipped her hand, grabbed a rope, and threw it towards the golden eagle, "Is this your back garden?"

The rope in her hand was the immortal rope that the monks of Zixiao Palace used to capture her. It was broken by the spirit boat, but it was not shattered. It was twisted and twisted, just right to be used as a rope to tie people up.

We haven’t had time to tie up the people yet, but it would be the same if we tied up the golden eagle.

The golden eagle was holding a ruby ​​in its mouth and was flying towards the family who was catching the sheep. Unexpectedly, a female cultivator flew up from the ground and tried to catch it when she saw it!

"quack--"

The golden eagle turned flexibly, flapped its wings, and immediately turned around and flew away.

“Where are you escaping to!” Shao Yin followed with his sword.

Elder Jin looked up at the sky and saw a man and an eagle flying away quickly. He immediately picked up his sword and chased after them.

This little brat may be smart, but he is still young after all and has not seen many methods of evil practitioners.

"Immortal! Immortal!" The two men left as soon as they said they would. The villagers were terrified and kept shouting loudly.

Elder Jin didn't even turn his head and was gone in the blink of an eye.

"This..." Everyone was terrified, uneasy, and looked around in confusion.

Is the immortal leaving now? Are there any other monsters coming?

"Third girl, how did you meet the immortal?" At this time, someone walked up to the little girl from the Wang family.

The little girl blinked her eyes and answered, "I was looking for my sheep, but I got lost. I sat on the ground crying, and then the fairy appeared."

Just like that? Everyone was inevitably surprised, but seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, they couldn't help but sigh: "You girl, you are really lucky."

How many people never see an immortal in their lifetime? She met one at a young age. The immortal was kind-hearted and helped her find sheep.

"Thanks to the third girl!" someone said thankfully.

If she hadn't met the immortal, when would they have known that there were monsters coming in and out of the village?

the other side.

Shao Yin had already thrown the rope onto the golden eagle, but the golden eagle was so strong that it kept rushing forward even though it was flying crookedly.

She followed behind without striking with the sword.

This golden eagle looked huge and had stolen sheep before. But if it had never eaten people and only ate livestock, there was no need to kill it.

The golden eagle was flying hard in front.

"quack--"

Finally it flew close to the cave, and it cried loudly, as if calling its companions.

Shao Yin raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

However, even after the golden eagle fluttered to a stop and stood outside the cave, no companions came out to help.

"Great, it's you!" At this time, Shao Yin had already seen the dead goat's body in front of the cave entrance. Over there, the golden eagle called several times, but no one who could speak human language came out. It immediately became anxious and lowered its head to go into the cave.

In a moment, Elder Jin arrived. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and rushed towards the cave.

This golden eagle is pretending to lure them into the cave. Humph! What a petty trick.

"I have seen many such inferior methods."

As he raised his hand and blasted forward, a rumbling sound was heard, and the cave collapsed instantly, with rubble and soil falling down.

From inside the cave, the golden eagle's "ga ga" sound was heard, sounding anxious and panicked.

"Stand back." Elder Jin ordered.

If there is someone behind the golden eagle and the cave collapses, that person will know that his plan has been exposed, and will most likely become angry and make a desperate bet.

Stand back to keep yourself safe.

Soon, the rumbling sound gradually stopped, the cave collapsed completely, and the tall figure of the golden eagle appeared.

There were piles of large and small pieces of stone around it, and its feathers were gray, but because its body was covered with iron feathers, it was not seriously damaged.

At this moment, its posture is a little strange.

"Ga ga?" the golden eagle called softly, with indescribable tenderness.

Shao Yin was startled and looked at Elder Jin beside her.

What's going on? Could this golden eagle be a mother? Was all this happening because of the cub in the cave?

Elder Jin frowned, said nothing, and just looked at it intently.

At this moment, the golden eagle carefully spread its wings, revealing the group below.

"Is it a person?" Shao Yin asked in surprise.

I saw a person hiding under the golden eagle's wings.

A person covered in blood.

"Ah?" Shao Yin wondered why she always met people covered in blood. This was the second one.

In order to see more clearly, she flew forward a little.

The man seemed to be unconscious, and did not look like he was hit by a rock. There was not even a speck of dust on his body. It was obvious that the golden eagle had protected him in time.

I just don't know who he is? Why is he so nervous about the golden eagle? Was it him who instructed the golden eagle to steal the sheep?
"Pah." Elder Jin took out a rejuvenation pill and flicked it into the bloody man's mouth.

To ask him questions, he needs to wake up.

"Ga ga!" When the golden eagle saw this, it immediately thought that they had done something bad to the bloody man. Its iron feathers exploded instantly and its cry was extremely fierce.

"What are you yelling about!"

Elder Jin shouted coldly, and the monk's pressure dissipated, immediately pinning the golden eagle to the spot. Its feathers folded up and it began to tremble.

Soon, the bloody man woke up.

"Cough, cough, cough." He first spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly opened his eyes, and seemed stunned when he saw the situation he was in.

Then, he looked past the golden eagle and scanned the surroundings. He saw Elder Jin and Shao Yin.

His pupils dilated instantly, then suddenly contracted, and he sat up immediately.

But his injuries were too severe, and the rejuvenation pill only made him wake up, but could not heal all his injuries. This sudden movement made him frown in pain.

He covered his right ribs, took a breath, and then slowly straightened up and looked at Shao Yin: "You, why are you here?"

"Do you recognize me?" Shao Yin of course noticed his strangeness and asked with raised eyebrows.

The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to answer like this. Thinking of something, his expression became dull and his eyes became indifferent: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

got the wrong person?

Shao Yin touched her chin and looked at him, feeling that he looked familiar.

Boy. Looks familiar.

Seriously injured, the golden eagle is guarding him...

She gradually came up with a guess and took a look at the map. As expected, the red and green dots overlapped.

"Did you raise this golden eagle?" She pretended not to recognize him. He didn't say anything anyway. She pointed at the golden eagle and then at the goat at the entrance of the cave. "It stole the sheep raised by the villagers."

Ye Chen lowered his eyes, stretched out his scarred hand with distinct knuckles, gently stroked the golden eagle's belly feathers, and said lightly: "It didn't mean it. I have asked it to send compensation."

"Really?" Shao Yin raised her eyebrows and looked at the golden eagle.

The golden eagle cackled a few times and gently nudged Ye Chen with its big head. Its movements were somewhat childish, making people inexplicably feel that it was aggrieved and acting coquettish.

Soon, Ye Chen listened to its explanation and changed the hand that was stroking its belly feathers to slapping it: "Why are you so careless?"

I was so nervous that I swallowed the ruby?
What should I do now? Wait for it to come out? I'm afraid it will be too late.

Go pick the gems off the umbrella handle again? I'm afraid that this girl, who says she likes him and refuses to break off the engagement with him, but doesn't recognize him, will recognize the umbrella.

She didn't recognize him, but she might recognize the umbrella. Ye Chen lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I'm sorry. But we will compensate the owner as soon as possible."

Shao Yin said nothing and looked at Elder Jin.

There was no need to embarrass him. He was so badly injured, and the golden eagle didn't look ferocious, most likely it was just protecting its master.

Elder Jin had the same idea as her, and said hoarsely, "No need for that. Tell your spirit pet not to show itself to mortals unless necessary."

Mortals are fragile, and this golden eagle is so huge that it will only cause panic.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

However, a weak but firm voice came from behind: "Ajin and I did not mean to scare others."

The pale-faced young man actually supported the golden eagle and slowly stood up. He was thin and had a beautiful figure. Even though he was dressed in rags, he looked extraordinary.

His face was covered in blood, but his eyes were bright: "We will compensate."

As he spoke, his eyes were determined, and a trace of his peripheral vision fell on the side of the man in black robe.

He didn't know what had happened, but since the golden eagle had alarmed two monks, it must have caused quite a bit of trouble.

Even though he had fallen to such a state, he never thought of being irresponsible.
