I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

[I fought with Qiu Daxian the other day, he was very strong.]

When Qiu Daxian attacked the little girl, he was repelled by Xiaobai in the form of a relic.

Xiaobai highly recognizes the strength of this great demon!

But, such a powerful monster was solved by a bunch of mortals with short sticks?

The moment the loach was dragged down the mountain, everyone else was just shocked, but Xiaobai and Qingjiao were horrified!

"Master Qiu is strong, but didn't Tangtang say that there is a net covering Dajin?"

Tangtang finally realized that Xiaobai and Qingjiao were frightened. She stood on tiptoe and patted the hand of the White Bone Goddess, then turned around and touched Qingjiao's head.

"It's okay. Don't be afraid. As long as we don't do bad things, the government won't hurt us."

Tangtang's comfort seemed to have no effect, Xiaobai and Qingjiao still looked worried.

Finally, Xiaobai took the initiative to communicate with the dragon.

[If the government officials can beat Qiu Daxian to death with a stick, they can also beat us to death.]

[I think that we should not continue the internal fighting under such circumstances.]

...........

Xiao Qingjiao also hates Xiaobai.

If they hadn't seen Qiu Daxian's miserable condition, the two of them would definitely have continued competing after the half-time break.

But the death of Qiu Daxian caused a huge shock to Xiaobai and Qingjiao. After both sides calmed down, they felt that it was not a good idea to continue like this.

【Temporary settlement?】

After a moment's silence, the green dragon let out a low dragon roar.

"That's great. We should all be united and friendly."

Xiaobai and Qingjiao finally stopped fighting, and Tangtang was very happy.

"From now on, we are all friends. Haha, Tangtang, let me give you a name."

The little girl stared at Qing Jiao and pondered for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "Let's call him Xiao Qing. What do you think?"

After hearing Tangtang calling "Xiaobai, "Xiaobai" for a long time, Qingjiao felt that "Xiaoqing" was also okay, and was no worse than "Xiaobai" anyway.

So it nodded to the little girl.

"hey-hey"

Tangtang was happy on her own, while the White Bone Goddess and the Green Dragon could not wait to enter the training mode.

Of course, based on previous experience, Xiaoqing only started to absorb energy after the White Bone Goddess truly entered into a state of meditation.

"..."

Due to various delays, this was Xiaoqing's first attempt after learning the Qigong technique.

I have to say, the effect is excellent!

But because it works so well, it feels a little off.

After all, according to what the crane demon said, the efficiency of the Qi-gathering technique can only be considered acceptable after one has cultivated a perfect human body.

Chapter 044: Almost Holy

Tangtang ran back first, and soon Li Xingwen also set out on the return journey with Shan Yunhe.

Along the way, the engaged couple seemed a little silent.

"Alas, I didn't mean to take credit for it. It was really hard to say at the time."

The man and the monster were actually not on the same channel. Li Xingwen was reflecting on himself, while Shan Yunhe was thinking about the big loach, so it took her a moment to react.

"Xingwen, don't think too much. If it weren't for what you said, Tangtang wouldn't have been able to convince the county magistrate."

Shan Yunhe comforted him with a few words, but Li Xingwen still couldn't let it go.

"There was an incident before (the Red Embroidered Shoes Case), and the situation was not good at the time. My well-read cousin just thought it was over, and it was all thanks to Tangtang taking the lead that the problem was finally resolved satisfactorily."

Afterwards, Li Xingwen reflected on it and vowed to learn from the little girl's spirit of getting things done as soon as they are said.

The results of it?

"This time I encountered Qiu Daxian gathering a crowd to cause trouble. Although I saw the situation clearly, my first reaction was that I couldn't solve it. I just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible."

The scholar looked grim. "If it weren't for Tangtang's determination to plead for the people, if the situation continued to deteriorate, the surrounding villages would have been razed to the ground by the soldiers! Hundreds of lives, I could have saved them with all my courage! But in the end, I did nothing."

The county magistrate also praised him for his unity of knowledge and action, but in fact, the only one who truly integrated knowledge and action was Tangtang.

"I have always thought highly of myself, but it was not until today that I realized that I am just a poor scholar who has a lot of knowledge but can't accomplish anything!"

Even if he passes the imperial examination, can he really benefit the people in the future?

At this moment, Li Xingwen fell into deep self-doubt.

.....

Seeing his beloved one so devastated, Shan Yunhe couldn't help but recall the time when he taught the little girl the art of Qi gathering.

After thinking for a moment, He Yao completely understood Li Xingwen's feelings and knew how to truly comfort him.

"Xingwen, do you think Tangtang is a very powerful person?"

"Not only is she amazing, but she also practices what she preaches. What she does is close to sainthood!"

Li Xingwen said seriously: "If she was born in that era when saints emerged in large numbers, Tangtang might have been an unprecedented female saint."

Haha, that's right.

Shan Yunhe smiled and said, "So, Xingwen, don't compete with Tangtang anymore. Although this time it was all thanks to Tangtang, your insight also played a big role."

I didn't compete with Tangtang, it's just...

"Look!"

Looking in the direction of the girl's finger, Li Xingwen saw two elderly people drying persimmon cakes.

"Tangtang? Such a small person actually dares to go to the county government to plead for the people. We must bring some delicious food back to make her happy."

If he were to be honest, Shan Yunhe would never dare to set foot in the county government office.

The courage shown by the little girl this time was beyond her imagination.

"Persimmon cakes, okay, buy some back!"

Li Xingwen is usually a bit stingy, but this time he decisively paid out of his own pocket and bought a lot of persimmon cakes to bring back for Tangtang.

"Thank you, cousin~"

The persimmon cake was very fragrant and sweet, and the little girl enjoyed eating it very much.

"By the way, Sister Shan, Tangtang wants to tell you something in private."

Ok?

The so-called whispers are naturally Xiaoqing’s business.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Tangtang asked Xiaoqing about the strange things that happened during her practice.

"Tangtang, you have a friend who hasn't cultivated a human body, but has a very high efficiency in collecting Qi?"

Shan Yunhe stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked with a strange look on his face, "Is your friend a Qilin, a Phoenix, or a Dragon?"

.....

There are three kinds of monsters in the world that cannot cultivate into human bodies, but their energy-gathering efficiency is incredibly higher than that of human cultivators.

What’s more special is that due to their extremely rare number, they were regarded as auspicious signs by different countries before the Jin Dynasty unified the world.

"Xiaoqing, come out."

After Tangtang greeted her, a green snake poked its head out from her sleeve.

No, not a snake, it has claws.

"..."

Shan Yunhe and Xiaoqing looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, the former coughed and said, "It looks like a dragon, but why doesn't it have horns on its head?"

"Hey, does the dragon have horns on its head?"

Seeing the crane demon nodding repeatedly, Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "It may be because Xiaoqing is still young. When it grows up, it will have horns."

Shan Yunhe wasn’t particularly clear about matters concerning dragons, so he just took it as the truth since the little girl said so.

So she cleared her throat and talked about three auspicious beasts in the world. Tangtang felt happy and regretful after hearing that.

"What a pity! Tangtang wanted to see what Xiaoqing would look like after she emerged as a human."

The green dragon didn't feel any pity. After finding out the reason, it quietly retreated.

"Tangtang, is it uncomfortable to have a dragon wrapped around your arm?"

Shan Yunhe imagined that there was a cold and slippery poisonous snake wrapped around his hand, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on his body.

"Haha, Xiaoqing is Tangtang's friend, just get used to it."

It is indeed a little uncomfortable, but Xiaoqing actually doesn't like turning into light and flying into Tangtang's body.

There was no other way. In order to maintain the atmosphere of unity and friendship within the team, the little girl could only try her best to get used to it.

.....

In the next few days, Tangtang tried to teach Xiaobai and Xiaoqing the method of automatically operating the Qi-gathering technique for twelve hours while traveling.

However, like Shan Yunhe, neither of them could grasp the essence of it.

Although they cannot automatically collect gas, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's gas collection efficiency is higher than Tangtang's.

Therefore, as long as you persist in practicing hard every day, the final results will not be too bad.

【...】

In the dead of night, Shan Yunhe quietly climbed out of the window and quickly left the inn.

These past few nights, while Tangtang was sleeping soundly, she would sneak out of the room, and no one knew where she was going.

Whoosh——

Not long after the crane demon left, a relic rushed out of the window.

Seeing Xiaobai chasing after him, Qingjiao also quietly crawled out of the quilt and followed.

In terms of flying speed, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are currently not as good as the crane demon.

Fortunately, Shan Yunhe's destination was not far from here, so the two of them did not lose him.

"Tsk, how come you guys are here today?"

The giant crane asked with a hint of displeasure as it hovered over the county government office.

【curious】

Xiaobai's Buddha light formed words, and Qingjiao nodded repeatedly.

"I just came here to try my luck and see if I can get a good blood meal."

It turned out that in the past, if a big monster was killed by the government, the county magistrates of various places would hand it over to the Tianshi Sect for handling.

But now that something has happened to the old Taoist priest, the local county magistrate may not do so.

If they don't find a professional to handle it, what are they going to do with that fat and big loach?

[Maybe he will eat it himself?]

"No, no, no, that's a great immortal. Who would dare to eat it? What if I get sick from it?"

Shan Yunhe said expectantly, "If it were me, if I didn't know how to deal with it, I would definitely go back to where I came from."

Chapter 045: Grievances

No wonder it came here every night, it turned out it was eyeing that big loach.

But, in a place like Dajin, is it common for big monsters to eat other big monsters?

Xiaobai Foguang asked his doubts in words. When Shan Yunhe saw it, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"How can it be common? I don't normally have the chance to eat other great monsters. And did you misunderstand something? I am not of the same species as that loach. Is it strange for a crane to eat a loach?"
