The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

Ji Xiaocai had a nightmare in a daze.

It was an old thing that he hadn't dreamed about for a long time.In the dream, the grassland of Fengming Mountain was still the same as the Xibi in memory, or it was not sure if it would be more colorful, so it made the blood flowing everywhere on the ground extraordinarily bright red.

The rain had stopped long ago, the sun was shining, and everywhere was brilliant. The blood beads hanging on the trees and grass were illuminated by the sun, and they refracted colorful lights. It was so beautiful, so good to see... scary!

Ji Xiaocai remembered that pair of cold white teeth, just a short distance away from her, his only brother was lying on the ground, covered in scars, and had already lost his voice.It seemed like he was the only one left in the world.

It's not as if, it's true that he's the only one left.

Ji Xiaocai thought, she had to fight, otherwise...

Ji Xiaocai fought hard, but it was useless. He was quickly defeated and even stepped on by the enemy.He felt the guy's hot breath hit his face wetly, and then he heard the guy ask, "Ghost?"

Ji Xiaocai's vision suddenly became blurred and then quickly became clear. He saw Gu Tailai's face a few inches above him.

To be honest, judging from such a close distance, Gu Tailai really belongs to the kind with outstanding looks.With handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, he is masculine and exudes a masculine aura. Compared with his overly delicate appearance, he is really enviable, but this does not include the fierce murderous aura emanating from Gu Tailai's face, especially the murderous aura Obviously it was aimed at Ji Xiaocai herself.

"Ghost?" Gu Tailai asked again.

Ji Xiaocai subconsciously shook her head.

"Demon?"

Ji Xiaocai nodded.

"kill!"

Ji Xiaocai jumped up suddenly, Gu Tailai's dagger was even faster, and it lay across his neck, exuding murderous aura.

Ji Xiaocai sat back down, sweating all over her head and body: "Daodaodao... Daoist, I am Ji Xiaocai."

Gu Tailai raised his sword eyebrows slightly: "Ji Xiaocai? I don't know." The blade approached another inch.

Ji Xiaocai really burst into tears: "Master Dao, I just... just saved you yesterday, no matter how angry you are, don't deny me!"

"angry?"

"Dao... Daoist, although I punched you last night, I also saved your life!"

"Hit me?" Gu Tailai stretched out his hand to touch the corner of his damaged mouth, moved slightly, and it really hurt a little.He raised his wrist lightly, and slowly pulled out the blade in an arc, Ji Xiaocai's strands of hair immediately fell on the festive red mattress, "Kill!"

Ji Xiaocai only felt that she had never been so vigilant in her life before Gu Tailai moved. He was already wearing the clothes of the newlyweds and rolled out of bed with a "chuck" sound. The sword came out, and he retreated to the door with great vigilance.

Gu Tailai was not in a hurry, he rolled down from the bed leisurely, his movements were chic and neat, exuding a powerful aura all over his body.While looking at Ji Xiaocai, he stretched out his hand to touch the whisk that was usually inserted in the back of his waist. When he found nothing, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and asked Ji Xiaocai: "Little monster, where is my whisk?"

"Fuchen?" Ji Xiaocai was also taken aback, "Responding... to the words of the Taoist priest, your Fuchen was thrown onto the roof last night when you were fighting with the inner demon."

That's right, the whisk is still on the roof. It's not that Ji Xiaocai doesn't want to help Gu Tailai take it off, but it took all his strength to get Gu Tailai back on the bed, and secondly... the pheasant , It can only flutter but not fly high.

Gu Tailai's eyebrows were twisted into a horoscope: "Demon?"

No matter how dull Ji Xiaocai was, she felt that something was wrong at this time, and asked cautiously: "Master Daoist, don't you remember what happened last night?"

Gu Tailai pondered for a while, then suddenly waved to Ji Xiaocai: "I'm just kidding with you, come here."

Seeing that familiar movement, Ji Xiaocai couldn't help letting go of her "thumping" heart, and took a step forward, but was dragged to her front by Gu Tailai's luck, with a hideous face Grabbing the collar tightly: "Little monster, you still want to lie! Look, I beat you to reveal your true colors!" After finishing speaking, a ball of gangster energy condensed in the palm of his hand, and he was about to slap Ji Xiaocai's heart.

Ji Xiaocai burst into tears, closed her eyes tightly, sucked her nose and sobbed: "Daoist, you can't do this! You obviously accepted me, and you can't kill me if you accept me! Why are you so unreasonable! I haven't done anything bad, and I haven't lied. My mother said that a lying monster can't be a big monster, so why do you kill me! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow woo woo woo—"

Cried for a while, but did not wait for Lai Gutailai's fatal blow.Ji Xiaocai opened her eyes cautiously, but saw Gu Tailai staring at her eyebrows.It was only then that Ji Xiaocai realized that at some point, the demon-receiving mark branded by Gu Tailai in the center of her brow surfaced again, and it was flickering brightly at this moment.

What a fool, this engraving is the best evidence that Gu Tailai has subdued him, proving that he, Ji Xiaocai, already belongs to Gu Tailai.But why didn't the engraving light up at first?

Gu Tailai seemed a little surprised, and pulled Ji Xiaocai forcefully to his eyes, their faces were so close that they almost touched each other's face, both of which were warm and moist.I don't know if it's because Gu Tailai, whose head is a little higher, can't step on the ground, Ji Xiaocai just feels that her legs are weak.

After watching for a moment, Gu Tailai murmured to himself, "It's really my engraving."

"Really, really." Ji Xiaocai nodded desperately, "Master Dao, you smell it, I don't smell like blood. Do you remember? North of Jiangcheng County, mass grave, I'm a vegetarian, I'm a vegetarian, and I can cook , I can do laundry, the Taoist said that I will follow you from now on!"

Sure enough, Gu Tailai put his nose close to Ji Xiaocai's face and neck and sniffed it carefully: "There is no smell of blood." Feeling uneasy, smelling his neck was not enough, so he tore off his bridal attire, and smelled all the way down to his stomach .Ji Xiaocai was nervous and scared, and she didn't know what other emotions were there. After being smelled by Gu Tailai for a while, her waist went limp, and she collapsed in Gu Tailai's hand, making a slight hoarse cry. Zhang's fair face was flushed.

"Gu Daoist!" The voices of two people suddenly sounded at the door, Ji Xiaocai was startled, and looked towards the door, only to see Zhao Yingluo and Huang Sheng, who had long thought to be dead, were standing at the door, staring at them dumbfounded.

"Dao... Daoist... Our husband and wife are just here to thank the Daoist for his kindness. We... didn't see anything, you go ahead." Huang Sheng, who was slightly pale, was the first to react, and embraced his wife I was about to bow and bow and leave.

"Stop!" Gu Tailai suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes." Immediately, both of them stood upright at the door again.

"people?"

Zhao Yingluo nodded.

"Demon?"

Huang Sheng nodded.

Gu Tailai said to Zhao Yingluo, "You go." Then he said to Huang Sheng, "Kill!"

Chickens fly and weasels jump.

Ji Xiaocai hugged Gu Tailai's waist desperately in the chaos, and shouted to Huang Sheng and his wife: "Go!" in an extremely impassioned tone!

Ji Xiaocai lit a small bonfire. In summer, it is actually very hot to be around the fire, but Ji Xiaocai has liked bright things since she was a child, especially flames. According to his mother, when he was a child, he even tried to jump on them. In the fire, if his eldest sister hadn't caught it back in time, Ji Xiaocai would have been a plate of roast chicken hundreds of years ago.

But Ji Xiaocai still likes flames, although it is dangerous, but looking at them gives her a sense of peace of mind, so she fell in love with cooking when she grew up.

After eating a few sweet potatoes, Gu Tailai leaned against the tree and meditated or took a nap, not sure if he fell asleep.Ji Xiaocai looked over through the light of the fire, and felt that the Taoist priest who always had a fierce face looked quite kind at this moment, even a little weak.

Two days ago, they ran out from Zhao's house in Fengtiao Town, because Gu Tailai seemed to not remember anything, not only Ji Xiaocai didn't understand the matter itself, but even the money to subdue the demon couldn't get it - of course In fact, not only did the demon not descend, but he also kidnapped the young lady and ran away, so the two continued to be poor, hungry and full, and rushed to Lin'an Mansion.For Gu Tai, people in that kind of place have a lot of thoughts, and monsters like it very much. Ji Xiaocai doesn't understand, but she has never been to a bustling town, so she happily follows.

Gu Tailai never touched him again, although he sent Ji Xiaocai around the same way, but he never mentioned the word "kill", but Ji Xiaocai felt that Gu Tai's gaze was still unfamiliar to him, as if eight days had passed. Blank, Gu Tailai got to know him again.Thinking about it this way, it reminds me of the night when the Zhao family killed the heart demon, Gu Tailai's movements also became strange and sluggish, and I can't help but wonder if Gu Tailai was seriously injured or possessed by a heart demon that day. So much so that I forgot all the things of the past few days?

The chirping of various insects echoed in the silent woods, which made Ji Xiaocai feel as if he had returned to his hometown, but his home was not only like this, there were more trees and higher mountains, and many Among the beasts and birds, some are friends, and some are enemies. No matter where they are, if they think about it now, they are all missed.

Ji Xiaocai suddenly felt his nose a little sore, he was homesick...

Suddenly, a yellow bird flapped its wings and flew in front of Ji Xiaocai. With its messy creases and light flapping movements, Ji Xiaocai recognized at a glance that it was the paper crane used by Gu Tailai and his younger brother.

"Junior Taoist priest, are you looking for Taoist priest Gu?" Ji Xiaocai asked in a low voice, glanced at Gu Tailai, but found that he had really fallen asleep at some point, and his long and thick breathing could be heard in his ears.It seems that it is really not an illusion. Gu Tailai seems to be always tired these two days, and his vigilance is much worse than before.

"He fell asleep." Ji Xiaocai said.

A surprised "Yi" sound came from the paper crane, it flapped its wings, and flew to Ji Xiaocai's head to stop.

"Little chicken, did something special happen these two days? 』

Ji Xiaocai felt that it was strange to hear other people's voices coming from her head, and she was quite dissatisfied with the title of "little vegetable chicken", but she didn't dare to scratch the paper crane, so she could only let it jump around on top of her head.

"Gu Daoist seems to have been injured two days ago when he caught the demon."

"Injuried? ’ Gu’s voice became even more surprised, and he was silent for a while before opening his mouth again, ‘It shouldn’t be, could it be...cough cough, little rookie, is my senior brother a little strange these two days? 』

Ji Xiaocai nodded her head for a long time before realizing that she couldn't see it there, and said quickly, "Hmm, that's strange. The Taoist priest seems to have forgotten many things."

"What did he forget? 』

"that is……"

"That's what..." Zhihe suddenly made a struggling sound of being grabbed by the throat, and then fell silent for a while.

When Ji Xiaocai looked up, she saw Gu Tailaisen standing in front of her with a cold face, holding a crushed paper crane in her hand.

"Dao... Daoist..." Ji Xiaocai shrank back subconsciously, but Gu Tailai didn't do anything to him, threw the paper crane into the fire, and went back to sit down.

The tongue of fire danced "beep beep bobo", swallowing the paper crane completely, and Ji Xiaocai's heart also beat heavily.

He has always felt that Gu Tailai is like a mystery. He is very powerful, and it is easy to kill demons and demons, but he is also very weak, and he can't even bigu. There are many inexplicable things in him. I don't know why Gu Tailai brought himself by his side.But Gu Tailai did accept him, accepting such a useless self other than being able to cook and do housework, even though he has always looked at him inquiringly these days.

Suddenly something was thrown in the air, Ji Xiaocai was in deep thought, when she was hit straight, she hugged her head on the spot, and a wild fruit fell into his arms, bright red color, exuding fragrance.Ji Xiaocai was a little dumbfounded, Gu Tailai was already eating another wild fruit: "It's for you." He said, "Of course, you can eat it or not."

Ji Xiaocai said thank you, picked up the fruit, wiped it carefully, and then put it to her mouth and took a delicate bite.

Gu Tailai let out a "chi" and said, "You really look like a girl, you are timid and have so many messy rules."

Ji Xiaocai's face turned red immediately, and she retorted: "I'm not a girl, I'm a man, and I will definitely become a big monster in the future!"

In fact, Ji Xiaocai also knows that she is indeed a little too weak. Although the pheasant family is very weak, timid and sensitive by nature, or because her father passed away early, her only brother was away very early, and the four older sisters and mother in the family were also very weak. With an overly strong relationship, Ji Xiaocai will appear weaker than other members of the same family, so that he is often bullied, but he still yearns for one day he can become a big monster that shakes the world, so his mother let him go out to experience, He also packed his bags and went, never thinking about whether it would be dangerous to set foot in this world with his little pheasant essence.

Gu Tailai looked at him through the firelight for a while, and finally smiled slightly, took out something from his bosom, and said to Ji Xiaocai, "Go on." The thing drew an arc and landed in Ji Xiaocai's open palm , it was the piece of jade pei that was almost pawned off before.

Ji Xiaocai was stunned: "Master Dao, this jade pei should be some token, you should cherish it, don't let me take it so easily."

Gu Tailai said "Oh?" and asked, "I said I want you to be it?"

"Well, when we were in Fengtiao Town."

Gu Tailai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I won't be a man in the future, because I leave it to you."

Ji Xiaocai let out an "oh", and reacted belatedly, her raised eyes were full of question marks.

Gu Tailai threw the fruit core aside casually: "Leave it as a mark for you, if I want to kill you again in the future, you are here..." He pointed at the center of his eyebrows, "If there is no light here, just show me this A piece of jade pei."

Ji Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Gu Daoist, were you injured at that time? Why did you suddenly seem to not remember anything? And you were obviously about to defeat the demon at that time, why did you suddenly fall? defeat?"

Gu Tailai didn't answer right away, he poked the bonfire with a stick, emptied the firewood, watched the smoke go out, and then said: "Some things are better not to know than to know, and, in the future, if my junior brother asks you anything, you don't want to Promise, be smart, understand?"

Ji Xiaocai nodded blankly.

Gu Tailai lay down against the tree, closed his eyes, "Go to bed early, and hurry up at Yinshichu tomorrow morning."

Ji Xiaocai looked at the extinguished blue smoke, but still couldn't turn the corner.

Gu Tailai added another sentence: "Ji Xiaocai, you are really weak." Before Ji Xiaocai could reply, he whispered, "But you are quite likable, thank you for protecting me."

It took Ji Xiaocai a long time to understand the meaning of that sentence, and she was so ashamed that her neck turned red all of a sudden, and it took a long time before she dared to answer: "No...no, in fact, Daoist Priest, you are also quite..."

Gu Tailai was already snoring slightly.

An inexplicable emotion flashed across Ji Xiaocai's face, like regret, and soon, even he himself didn't notice it.

Go all the way north, see all the prosperity into Lin'an.

As the capital of this dynasty, Lin'an City has a prosperous atmosphere that cannot be exhausted on paper and pen.

Ji Xiaocai followed Gu Tailai step by step, with her eyes fixed on the peach blossoms, willows, greens and romantic charms everywhere, distracted, she wished she could just hang out in the middle of the street and see enough from morning till night.Gu Tailai was not in a good mood, he stood by the Longjin Bridge, took out his money bag, poured the bottom of his pocket on his palm and counted it, three copper coins, and bought a piece of sesame seed cakes, besides, he couldn't do anything else.

Gu Tai came to look at the bridge south market, then looked at the sky and thought for a while, then waved to Ji Xiaocai.Ji Xiaocai had only taken two steps forward, when Gu Tailai grabbed his collar and leaped into the air, landed on the roof beside him, and began to tear Ji Xiaocai's clothes furiously.Ji Xiaocai quickly understood, pressed her hands on her collar desperately, and yelled endlessly: "Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao, don't do this, the sky is bright and bright, it's so dignified!"

Gu Tailai looked around, although the ridge of the roof is high, because there are restaurants and teahouses on the second and third floors, he can indeed see it. Right now, there are a few curious heads poking out from the windows to stare at. The two of them stared straight at him, but he coldly swept them away, and then they all shrank under the window sill, but they still showed two bright black eyeballs furtively.Gu Tailai gritted his teeth and said "trouble", and carried Ji Xiaocai to jump a few ridges with ease, to a dark place, hiding under a big tree, and drew a Dao talisman in the air, using the invisibility technique, and then stopped , said to Ji Xiaocai: "I come or you come by yourself?"

Ji Xiaocai put on a bitter face: "Master Daoist, isn't it, come again?"

Gu Tailai showed him the purse: "There are three coins left, you can figure it out."

Ji Xiaocai was still babbling, but seeing Gu Tailai's face sink, she hurriedly shook off the package she was carrying behind her back, and began to pull out her belt to take off her coat, took off one piece, folded one piece, and put it aside neatly, It looks like something that is sold in a store.Ji Xiaocai was still embarrassed when she took off her underwear, and said to Gu Tai, "Please trouble the Taoist priest to turn around."

Gu Tailai said with a straight face: "Everyone is a man, so why not be embarrassed, besides, I have watched you several times when you are naked!"

Ji Xiaocai's face was flushed, she twisted the skirt of her clothes with her fingers and said, "Please turn around, Taoist priest."

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Tai frowned and turned around. After a while, he heard the sound of clothes falling behind him, and Ji Xiaocai said: "Okay." The sweat towel expertly covered the lower half of his face, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Xiaocai struggling endlessly in a pile of clothes again.

Gu Tailai slowly collected the folded clothes, carried the package on his back, watched Ji Xiaocai's futile struggle again with gusto, and finally rescued Ji Xiaocai before his eyes burst into tears, and hugged him in his arms.

"Didn't I tell you to change after you take it off? Are you still missing one or two pieces?"

The brightly colored pheasant shook its feathers shyly in Gu Tailai's arms, and its already red face became even redder.Ji Xiaocai shyly covered her eyes with her two wings.

Gu Tailai couldn't help but smile inwardly, and touched Ji Xiaocai's neck and back. Because she was stroked to a comfortable place, Ji Xiaocai involuntarily let out a cooing sound from her throat.Gu Tailai stopped his hand and said with a smile: "You guys are quite good at enjoying it." Looking around, he seemed to be talking to himself, "Where are you going to sell today? Or is it a vegetable market? "

Selling, of course, is selling one's body, but what is being sold is not Gu Tailai, but Ji Xiaocai. Of course, it's not selling the body in the sense of romance, but the real body.

Because he was too poor and could not steal, Gu Tailai stared at Ji Xiaocai ferociously for a long time one day when he was very hungry, and then he came up with the idea of ​​"there is no one before, and no one will come after"-selling demon chickens!

But when he was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, was so hungry that he was dizzy, and when the branches were regarded as noodles and the table was called a hoof, Gu Tailai revealed his true form to Ji Xiaocai and sold them in the market at a high price.Ji Xiaocai's original form is beautiful, although the price is high, people often look at it, but no matter how fancy it is, it is used for cooking in the vegetable market, once it is really used for cooking, Ji Xiaocai will really It became Ji Xiaocai.

Of course, Gu Tailai would not really ask Ji Xiaocai to cook, as long as he was bought back.Once the money is in hand, Ji Xiaocai will use black magic to escape back when there is no one around in a dark and stormy moon, which will become what Gu Tailai called "robbing the rich and helping the poor".The idea is wonderful, but Ji Xiaocai is soft-hearted, always worrying about whether she will hurt the cooks and handymen if she runs away for no reason, so every time she has to run all the way back trembling in the original pheasant shape, for fear that no one will see her.

Then, since you saw it, you will naturally be chased.You must know that pheasants can't fly high, so Ji Xiaocai often runs with her two paws out in front, flapping her wings, followed by a bunch of hounds chasing desperately.There are often idlers and children who think it's fun, and run together without asking questions.

At this moment, when Ji Xiaocai heard Gu Tailai say the word "vegetable market" again, her head "buzzed", her thin neck shook desperately, and she strongly objected!

Ji Xiaocai was afraid of the vegetable market, where there was the smell of blood and the corpses of animals that had been killed, Ji Xiaocai took a long time to recover every time she went there.

Gu Tailai also probably knew what Ji Xiaocai was afraid of, thought for a while, and suddenly closed his escapism and jumped down, grabbed an old man beside him and asked, "Please tell me, old man, there are so many people in front of Zhuque Bridge today, what kind of grand event is there?"

Gu Tailai was tall and big, with fierce eyes, half-covered at the moment, the old man was so frightened that he thought he was going to block the road and rob, and almost ran away, but Gu Tailai held his shoulders calmly and couldn't move. , could only tremble and said: "This... my lord, today is the day when Xiangguo Temple opens the trading of surnames, so anyone who does business, and those who have rare things at home all go there."

Gu Tailai said "Oh", rubbed his chin, and asked, "Old man, do you think my pheasant might sell for a good price there?" Saying that, he put Ji Xiaocai on the ground.

Ji Xiaocai remembered Gu Tailai's words "be more flexible", quickly flapped her wings, walked a few steps gracefully back and forth, stretched her neck, smoothed her back hair, and looked around with a pair of flexible and bright black eyes.

The old man finally felt relieved, and looked at Ji Xiaocai up and down.But this pheasant has a beautiful body and bright colors, especially the part from the neck to the back is full of various colors, the bright blue, bright green and snow-white ones are very beautiful, and the tail feathers are long and dense. Like a cattail fan.The old man looked at it for a long time, and said straightly: "Okay, good pheasant, I think this is much more beautiful than the peacock sold in the market last time, it will definitely sell for a good price!"

Gu Tailai hurriedly hit the snake and put it on the stick: "Old man, do you want it? Only 20 taels of silver."

The old man was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands: "This old man can't afford it, my lord, you'd better go to the Xiangguo Temple for a while, there are many nobles in this city, they love all kinds of interesting things, you go there , It’s definitely worth the trip, not to mention 20 taels, 200 taels may be offered. Besides, if you have time, you can still go around, there are so many novelties.”

Gu Tailai resentfully went to hug Ji Xiaocai again, saluted and said, "Thank you for your advice, old man." He ran towards Xiangguo Temple without touching the ground.

Gu Tailai found an empty seat in Xiangguo Temple and squatted down, then put Ji Xiaocai on the ground and let him move freely.

There is the sound of buying and selling everywhere, all kinds of rare birds and animals are displayed in the market, dogs are barking and birds are singing, it is very lively.In comparison, Gu Tailai's booth looked deserted.He was born tall and tall, and his face looked so gloomy, but now he was wearing a half-face scarf and wearing a Taoist robe squatting on the ground, which made him look even more weird, so that there were crowds of people in front of other people's doors, and he alone was blank. What came out was like a restricted area, and the business on both sides was affected. If you want to move the land and have nowhere to go, you can only curse bad luck in your heart.

Ji Xiaocai also carefully asked Gu Tailai why he had to cover his face every time he went out to do business. At this time, Gu Tailai glanced at him coldly and refused to reveal any inside information. Ji Xiaocai could only secretly speculate whether it was Gu Tailai. Tailai was afraid that doing this business would affect his teacher's reputation, so he needed to put on a little disguise?But this doesn't make sense, if you are really afraid of affecting the reputation of the teacher, why don't you take off your Taoist robe and come again?However, it is really a problem that Gu Tailai only has two Taoist robes to change in turn.After much deliberation, there is no conclusion, so I can only give up.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaocai was born really well!

Although no one approached to inquire about the price at the beginning, because Ji Xiaocai's original shape is really beautiful, so that the surrounding birds pale in comparison, those who love to watch birds secretly peep at Ji Xiaocai, just waiting When someone opens their mouth first, they will rush forward.Ji Xiaocai has been sold a few times, and she has figured out this reason, so she kept Gu Tailai's advice in mind, and just jumped up and down leisurely in the sun, flapping her wings from time to time, brushing her back hair, or simply lying down, lazy. Lazily basking in the sun.

Gu Tailai didn't yell, just squatted there, as if he was looking at Ji Xiaocai, and seemed to be in a state of tranquility, one person and one bird, so quiet to the extreme, it made people's hearts itch even more.Finally someone couldn't bear it, stepped into the restricted area, and asked, "How do you sell this bird?"

As soon as this person opened his mouth, it seemed as if he had broken a taboo. A group of people surrounded him with "hula la" all around. It's not as good as it is, and I said, brother, where did you get this bird? Is there anything special about it besides being beautiful?There were also people who deliberately suppressed Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai, saying that this bird is so weirdly beautiful, the feathers must not be dyed, and it will be gone when it rains later.

Gu Tailai waited for everyone to say something in turn, then stretched out his finger and made a two-character comparison. He still remembered that the old man said that 200 taels could be sold.As a result, a bunch of them exploded.

"2000 taels, this is really black-hearted!"

"Hey, Brother Wang can't even afford 2000 taels. I heard that your mother-in-law has recently collected all the money you paid for the flower wine."

"2000 taels, I think it's worth it even if you double it."

"Since that's the case, why don't Brother Ge buy it for 4000 taels?"

"Your brother's words are wrong. If it's just that the feathers are beautiful, I don't think this pheasant is worth 4000 taels."

Ji Xiaocai's eyes widened. After going to the market so many times, it was the first time she knew that she could still be worth so much money!In the past, in the vegetable market, those cooks and handymen only talked about his price by the catty, and hung him on the scale every time to weigh him. Ji Xiaocai's feathers were beautiful, but the weight was not heavy, so the highest price was five taels of silver. , This change of place actually turned so many somersaults! ?He turned his head to look at Gu Tailai, the Taoist priest wearing a sweat scarf seemed to be a little startled, but this expression can only be seen by Ji Xiaocai who has been with Gu Tailai for a long time, others only think that face Still stiff and motionless.

At this time, Gu Tailai suddenly stood up, lifted his feet, but a crane soared into the sky abruptly, and rose and fell in front of a dried fruit stand in the crowd, dropped the only three coins, and scooped up After doing a lot of work, he fell back with a "wow", coming and going in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this move, and no one reacted for a long time.

Gu Tailai scattered the dried fruits he bought on the ground, a dozen or so in total, and rolled them on the ground.Gu Tailai: "Xiaocai, just now they said how much they would pay to buy you?"

Ji Xiaocai understood, jumped aside, took out two dried fruits with her beak, and put them aside.There was a low "ah" sound from all around.Gu Tailai asked again: "How many came out later?" Ji Xiaocai took two more dried fruits in her mouth, put four dried fruits together, Ji Xiaocai flapped her wings, and there were exclamations from all around.But before it was over, Gu Tailai asked again: "How much do you think you should be worth?"

Ji Xiaocai was really not sure how to deal with this issue, she secretly glanced at Gu Tailai, but Gu Tailai remained steadfast.Ji Xiaocai thought for a while, jumped into the pile of dried fruits, took a piece, turned her neck to look at Gu Tailai, but Gu Tailai still hadn't changed, so she took another piece, and looked back at Gu Tailai.

There were exclamations from all around: "Look, this pheasant is so smart, it can read numbers and read the owner's face."

Amidst the surprise, Ji Xiaocai saw that Gu Tailai nodded slightly, and was about to come back bouncing back, but heard a voice: "My young master bought this pheasant, and the price is 8000 taels." The servants pushed aside the crowd and walked out, followed by a young man in brocade clothes.When the people everywhere saw the two master and servant, they started discussing one after another.

"It's from Prince Jing's Mansion."

"It's the little prince of Prince Jing's Mansion, 8000 taels, 8 taels is not a big deal!"

"Hey. Didn't something happen to his family in front of the battle? The prince and his wife are looking for life and death, so they still have time to buy birds?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I just found a coquettish concubine, and the backyard is on fire, what are you shouting about! Can you provoke Prince Jing's mansion?"

Although the young man was talked about by everyone, he had a calm and clear attitude, but his servants were glaring at the people around them, and they glanced at them one by one, with the words on their faces, "Remember you grandsons of the bastards, I'll come back and settle accounts with you."

The young man walked up to Gu Tailai, bowed slightly to Gu Tailai and said, "Brother, I want to buy your magic chicken for 8000 taels. I wonder what you want?" Without waiting for Gu Tailai Lai replied and added, "It's up to you to choose whether you want bank notes or cash!" There was a lot of shouts from all over, and the young prince's move was straightforward.

Gu Tailai took a look at the visitors, for the first time, he didn't speak up immediately, but seemed to be looking at something from top to bottom, but Ji Xiaocai was excited, 8000 taels, enough for them to eat! ?

Ji Xiaocai loves to cook and has always been a gourmet. She pays a lot of attention to food and drink. Although it is okay for her to be a vegetarian or even not to eat, she always has a heart to study food tirelessly. After following Gu Tailai, she only Being able to suppress this extravagant hobby, now that he heard the bid of 8000 taels, he felt that all kinds of ingredients were shaking in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but rushed to the little prince's heels, but Gu Tailai grabbed it back and brought it back. in hand.

Seeing that Gu Tailai was silent, the little prince thought that he still felt that the money was too little, so he thought about it and said with a smile: "Well, I also know that you have a deep relationship with Ai Niao, brother, I will add another 1000 taels, and another Give Xiongtai a few novelties, what do you think, Xiongtai? No one in Lin'an Mansion is willing to pay such a price!" These are already threatening words, and Gu Tailai will not sell them. No one dared to buy it again.

Gu Tailai was still hesitating, but Ji Xiaocai became impatient, flapping her wings to get out, squatting on the little prince's shoulder by herself, the others couldn't help laughing when they saw it, and said "a good bird chooses a tree to live in" is indeed a sentence the truth.The little prince also smiled triumphantly, and said to his servant: "Mo Shu, you give the money to this brother, see if he wants cash or bank notes, leave your address, and send me the money the next day." A few Nanyang gadgets from the house were also sent to him." Without looking at Gu Tailai, he was about to walk swaggeringly, but unexpectedly, Gu Tailai grabbed his wrist.
