Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Chapter 376: It's an Old Friend

"Of course the Fire Spirit is trapped."

Xiao Shui murmured to himself. The house to the north of the Xiao Mansion was where the head of the family lived before, but it was now strictly guarded by monks.

He walked all the way to the former meeting room, and after pushing open the door, he saw a dark and empty space inside.

Everything that was once decorated with carved beams and painted buildings has now been replaced by cold stone pillars, of which there are many.

There is an altar in the center, which Han Yu must be quite familiar with.

Isn’t it exactly the same as the one in the underground palace?
There was a large tripod on the altar, and chains extended from the dragon-imprisoning pillars around the tripod to trap it.

The flames in the cauldron flickered constantly. From a distance, it looked like fire, but up close, it was constantly changing shape.

When Xiao Shui came in, flames suddenly rushed up, as if trying to break free from the restraints, but as soon as they touched the chains, they could only wailing and falling down again.

After struggling in vain for several times, the flames finally retreated helplessly. Only then did a fiery red... duck appear!
Even though he had seen it many times, Xiao Shui still felt it was a bit eye-catching every time he saw this duck.

"As a fire spirit, don't you think it's unreasonable for you to turn into a duck?"

Ducks and fire don't go together well, okay?

Except for roast duck.

The fire spirit made two crackling sounds, but it didn't seem to be relieved. It stuck its head out of the cauldron and kept calling out to Xiao Shui.

"Quack quack..."

"Are you sure you won't help me?"

Xiao Shui glanced at Yatou and continued to ask.

"Quack quack..."

"It will do you no good if you continue like this."

"Quack quack..."

When it came to this, Xiao Shui obviously couldn't continue the conversation. How could he continue the conversation when his mind was filled with the quacking of ducks.

The fire spirit seemed to have noticed this as well. Its neck stiffened and a stream of sparks shot out from its beak.

After Xiao Shui took it with his hand, the sparks quickly penetrated his body and his face lit up with joy.

"Are you willing to help me?"

"No, Old Duck just thinks you don't understand, so scolding you is not satisfying."

At this moment, the sound coming from the fire spirit was finally no longer the quacking of a duck.

But it was no better than the quacking of a duck. After Huo Ling confirmed that Xiao Shui could understand it, he started cursing again like a machine gun, without stopping for a moment.

"Son of a bitch……"

"Damn it..."

"damn thing……"

All kinds of abusive words kept coming out of the other person's duck mouth.

After a quarter of an hour, the Fire Spirit finally stopped talking with satisfaction.

After the other party vented his anger, Xiao Shui spoke calmly, "What do you want in exchange for helping me break through to the fourth level?"

"Tsk tsk!"

The Fire Spirit shook his duck head and said sarcastically, "The great old duck never accepts coercion. There is no way the old duck will help you. Forget it!"

Xiao Shui was not surprised by its answer, as this was not the first time they had such a conversation.

"I've told you many times that this is not good for you."

"If you want to break through, let the old duck go first."

The Fire Spirit said so.

"That's impossible. You know I can't let you go. The most I can do is to make you suffer less."

Xiao Shui shook his head and refused directly.

"Then there's nothing to discuss. Don't even think about finding the old duck's true form to threaten him."

The fire spirit retracted its head with a huff. It was no longer interested in talking nonsense. It was simply wishful thinking for this stupid human to gain benefits from it.

"No, your true form has been dug out."

When Xiao Shui opened his mouth unexpectedly, the Fire Spirit jumped up in fright, but was finally pressed down by an unknown force.

After a while, the duck head appeared again, and a pair of green bean-sized eyes stared straight at Xiao Shui and spoke viciously.

"Which wicked bastard dug out the old duck..."

...A-choo!

When the night wind blew, Han Yu sneezed unexpectedly. Not only him, but a group of old men from the Nine Sects sneezed one after another.

"This is not a good sign!"

The elder of Qinglan Sect rubbed his nose and said, "I, a dignified Transcendent Realm cultivator, have started to sneeze. I feel like I won't live long. How about you guys give up and give me some pills first?"

"I don't want to compete with you. I'm mainly afraid that you will go to visit my grave in a few years, and I can't bear to lie in the grave and see you sad."

"I don't believe you. If you say that, the one from Piaomiao City must have died before you. His life span is even shorter than yours."

Elder Luo also rubbed his nose and spoke.

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, could only respond with a dark face and a cold snort.

"That guy is much cuter at times like this, and quieter than you guys."

He looked meaningfully in the direction of Ou Mingdong, where the chief elder of Wushuang Tower looked like a corpse again.

"What do you want to do, old monk?"

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City had just spoken when he saw the old monk walk over and sit cross-legged in front of everyone's stunned gaze.

The sound of chanting gradually drifted out, and it lasted for a while before he stood up contentedly.

"I found out that my old friend had died so many times, but I never recited the sutras for his soul to be reborn. This is really a sin."

A group of people shouted "good guy".

If the Grand Elder of Wushuang Tower were to be resurrected, he would definitely fight with you immediately. Who are you cursing at if you recite the mantra for rebirth in front of his "corpse"?
They are all restless guys. Rumor has it that the older they get, the younger they become. This is fully reflected in this group of people. Han Yu's mouth twitched, and he felt that these old guys were like children.

"Forget it, there's no need to wait, seniors, go and have a rest!"

It's already this late, the spirit's worries should have come true.

If the Fire Spirit can't come now, then he won't come.

As for the elixir, Han Yu calculated the time and it would take about five days for it to arrive.

If you still can’t find the Fire Spirit’s body within five days, you have to get rid of the elixir quickly.

The old men are not afraid of this side effect, but he is.

They all have disciples and grandchildren serving them. After a few years, they become "sensible". After another seven or eight years of playing, they "grow up". Finally, they have twenty years of life left.

But he is different. He is a loner. If he starts over from scratch, he will have to play in the mud and pee on the kang, and waste more than ten years of his time.

The crowd quickly dispersed. Since Han Yu was sure that the Fire Spirit could not come, who would want to stay with a broken stone?

After the room was empty, the entire shed suddenly became extremely quiet.

The moonlight gradually became hazy, and when a dark cloud passed by, it cast a long shadow on the ground.

The shadows stretched out, creeping along.

When he got outside the greenhouse, he kept jumping sideways under the cover of shadows.

The whole process took place without any sound.

However, the shadow did not choose to enter. Instead, it just paused for a moment and then turned around and left.

All this seemed to be done without anyone noticing, but some people were alarmed.

Han Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the shadow. This pattern seemed familiar. Was it a ghost-type technique?
No difference!
Yes, it is exactly the same as Bai Bufen’s ghostly body movement. No, it should be even better.

Someone who could come here quietly and leave quietly with such superb means could not be a simple person.

"Why don't you chase?"

The spirit of the weapon asked Han Yu in confusion. Even if the other party's movements were secretive, if Han Yu was determined to chase him, the other party would definitely not be able to escape.

"That's not necessary."

The purpose of chasing is to find out who the other person is and what his purpose is.

But the fluctuations on this guy were like fluorescent light in the darkness, there was no need to guess who he was.

"There are only two fire-type magical powers in Minzhou City, one is me and the other is him."

The shadow is indeed imperceptible to everyone. Without any sound, I am afraid that even those old men in the Transcendent Realm may not be able to detect it.

What's more, this guy used the shadows cast by the clouds under the moon as cover from beginning to end. It can only be said that his methods are indeed much more clever than Bai Bushen's at the beginning.

The most fatal point is that he happens to have innate magical powers, and Han Yu's sea of ​​consciousness happens to have a spirit that can smell innate magical powers.

"So now that we know it's our old friend, Master Xiaoshui, is it still necessary to chase after him?"
