Catching Monsters

Chapter 440 Brotherly Love
Sitting next to him, Qi Da asked curiously, "Sir, is it really as you say, that this formation can lure that evil creature here?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Yun's face as he nodded and explained, "This formation is a Taoist clone formation, a minor spell, but it just happens to be applicable to this situation."

Upon hearing this, Zidane's eyes also showed curiosity, as he didn't know much about Taoism.

Jiang Yun patiently explained, "To put it simply..."

Jiang Yun took out the fur of the Xingxing he was carrying, took out a yellow talisman, and wrapped the fur completely.

Then he slowly placed the talisman containing the hair into the center of the formation, followed by making hand seals and slowly chanting:
"Heaven and earth are in great light, and all things are born together. I attain the One True Self, and enter the Jade Court of the Inner Realm. The Void Emperor decrees that I may attain the True Self."

"The firstborn child of the Upper Yuan, the Three Primal Elements and Six Palaces. All the gods gather and merge into my body. I ascend to the Dipper Palace and enter and exit the Purple Court."

"Hurry up as a law!"

After saying that, a golden light shot into the talisman from Jiang Yun's finger.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow talisman gradually transformed into a palm-sized object, but its appearance was exactly the same as that of the Xingxing.

He sat in the center of the formation.

"Oh, Lord Jiang, is this really so amazing?" Qi Da's eyes lit up immediately, almost shining.

As he spoke, he prepared to reach out and touch the little Xingxing.

But he stopped halfway through reaching out: "Can I touch it?"

"Whatever," Jiang Yun smiled.

Upon hearing this, Zidane reached out and patted the monkey's head.

It's truly amazing; you can even feel the fur of the mythical beast.

……

On a beach in a coastal area, a Xingxing was lying on the sand, sunbathing. His fur was wet, clearly indicating that he had been washed in the water.

Although it was bloodthirsty, it disliked being covered in blood. After causing a ruckus in Nanping City, it came to this seaside.

In a distant, dense forest, more than a dozen Imperial Guards were watching it.

The Xingxing, who was lying on the beach leisurely sunbathing, suddenly sensed something.

Someone is touching their hair.

It instantly became ferocious, suddenly stood up from the ground, scanned its surroundings, and let out a howl.

……

Zidane, who was stroking the little Xingxing's fur, suddenly looked fierce when he saw the little Xingxing in front of him.

He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Sir, will I hurt it by doing this?"

"I hope this won't interfere with your plans, sir."

"Hey, sir, what are you doing?"

Zidane saw that Jiang Yun had taken out a tinderbox, then a piece of yellow paper, lit it, and used the fire to burn the palm-sized Xingxing.

"Sir, this is..."

"Come on, let's burn it for an hour first."

The monkey on the beach seemed to feel the intense burning pain coming from all around it. It stood on the shore, constantly emitting terrifying roars.

Then, as if sensing something, it slowly turned its gaze toward the direction of Nanjin Province. Then, it let out a howl, enduring the burning pain on its body, and rushed toward Nanjin Province.

……

While lighting a fire to burn the little monkey, Qi Da asked curiously, "Sir, what do you think is the purpose of Tuoba Anyi's visit here?"

"I'm not a fortune teller, how would I know?" Jiang Yun shook his head, but then, after a moment's thought, he stroked his chin: "But speaking of which, this person traveled thousands of miles to this godforsaken place..."

"Logically speaking, he is a Hu person who has been eyeing the Zhou state covetously. If he really wanted to cooperate with the rebels, he could have just come in his own name."

"There's absolutely no need to impersonate the so-called young master of the Xiang family; you'll still receive preferential treatment from the Demon Spirit Cult..."

"He must be doing something for the Demon Spirit Sect that would provoke their retaliation, which is why he's hiding his true identity."

At this point, Jiang Yun paused, stroking his chin: "Why would you provoke the Demon Spirit Sect's retaliation, and why are you unwilling to reveal your true identity?"

"kill?"

Jiang Yun shook his head. The Demon Spirit Sect had many experts, and with Tuoba Anyi's strength, he wouldn't be able to kill many people, and he would easily put himself in danger.

Why not let the experts from the Tuoba tribe handle this kind of thing?
What he was about to do was something the Tuoba tribe's experts couldn't easily do, so he had to risk his life and come alone. Steal something?
Thinking about all this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but shake his head, too lazy to guess anymore.

Not long after, Tuoba Anyi was also arranged to live in a side room here.

He wandered around the Daling Buddhist Temple for a while, then came to a side room to rest, and he specifically asked to stay next to Jiang Yun.

Once inside the room, he curiously pressed his ear against the wall, wanting to hear what Jiang Yun, that bastard, was up to in order to find out.

He was just sticking his butt out, leaning against the wall, eavesdropping.

He could only hear the sound of something burning next door. He frowned. What was Jiang Yun doing?

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Soon, Jiang Yun saw Tuoba Anyi, who was eavesdropping with his buttocks sticking out.

For a moment, Tuoba Anyi felt a little embarrassed. He coughed, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "Oh, brother..."

Jiang Yun walked into the house and said with a smile, "When does Big Brother plan to make his move?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"If you don't tell me, and I accidentally ruin your plans, don't blame me..."

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Tuoba Anyi couldn't help but curse him inwardly as a bastard, but what Jiang Yun said also made sense...

He didn't know what that bastard Jiang Yun was up to, and he was worried that he might ruin his plans.

Seeing the suspicious look in Tuoba Anyi's eyes, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Brother Tuoba has actually had some misunderstandings about me. We have sworn an oath of blood and become sworn brothers."

"I have always regarded you as a respected elder brother."

"It's just that due to some coincidences and unforeseen circumstances, my elder brother has developed some opinions about me."

"It's a pity that I've been in the capital all this time and haven't been able to come to the northern grasslands again to clear up these misunderstandings with you, my elder brother."

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Tuoba Anyi snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Yun, do you think I'm a three-year-old? You think I'd believe you just because you say a few words?"

Jiang Yun said sincerely, "Brother, we people from the Central Plains have an old saying: it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I don't have any direct conflict with you, brother; we're just serving different masters and have no choice in the matter."

"You'll understand when you see my actions later. These words come from the bottom of my heart, and I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you, brother."

Hearing Jiang Yun's sincere words, Tuoba Anyi remained silent for a moment before tentatively saying, "I have come here to take care of something."

Tuoba Anyi said, "If you can find a way to make a commotion for me tomorrow, I will believe what you say."

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "How much commotion does brother want?"

"The bigger the better."

Jiang Yun estimated the time...

Xingxing guessed that he would arrive tomorrow, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, brother, just watch how I perform tomorrow."

Seeing Jiang Yun agree so readily, Tuoba Anyi's heart stirred slightly. Was this guy serious?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then a warm smile appeared on his face: "Brother, it seems that your elder brother misunderstood you before."

"This is a huge misunderstanding."

The two held hands tightly, looking like brothers with a deep bond.

Of course, each of them had their own plans.

"Then brother, please rest first."

"Take care, my friend."

The smile on Tuoba Anyi's face vanished instantly after Jiang Yun left the house.

He quickly bent over and continued to lie by the wall, eavesdropping on the sounds from next door.

As Jiang Yun stepped out of the house, his smile vanished. He stroked his chin, wondering what Tuoba Anyi was up to.

No, I have to secretly follow my good older brother tomorrow and take a look.

As dusk settled, wealthy merchants continued to arrive and depart from the Great Spirit Buddhist Temple. Of course, according to the rules of the Demon Spirit Sect, most of these merchants were not allowed to stay overnight.

Jiang Yun was only able to stay here because of Tuoba Anyi's influence.

Everyone is looking forward to the Buddhist assembly tomorrow night.
