Chapter 6: The Fallen Monster
"Young Master of the Yang Family in Chuiyun Town, it seems that he is a generation younger than you two by generation. He is two years older. He is also a famous genius with both gold and fire attributes!" Mei'er followed the young master to the east wing, and was no longer surprised by the young master's amnesia, adding: "But the cultivation speed is much slower than the eldest master. It seems that it has been two or three years in the late stage of foundation building. This time I am afraid I want to take the opportunity of competition to seek breakthroughs."
Similar to reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles in the previous life, cultivators from Qiyuan Continent seek breakthroughs and find opportunities mainly rely on going out to experience challenges. After reaching the bottleneck of cultivation, they look for strange opponents with considerable strength. Through actual combat, they can understand their opponents' cultivation methods and auras through actual combat, learn from each other, complement each other, which is a common practice method.
Of course, there is also a kind of experience that is not for the pursuit of breakthroughs. For example, Ma Xiang went out before. He just arrived at the Kan Killing Period and could not say that he was practicing the bottleneck, nor did he have any doubts about the skills he learned, but just to show off. It is roughly similar to the child-showing family in WeChat Moments in his previous life. He was very afraid that others would not know that they had a genius, and even if they traveled through mountains and rivers, they would send them to other people's doorsteps for others to take a look and praise.
If this one-on-one Golden Fire dual-attribute Yang Dianfeng may not be showing off. Before, Ma Xiang was away, the young master of the Yang clan stayed in Fenglin Town for ten days, which shows his determination to seek a breakthrough.
No wonder, in terms of physical cultivation, Yang Dianfeng, who is both gold and fire, is even higher than Ma Xiang, who is single-water, but his realm is one level worse. How can he be willing to do so?
"Everyone is a genius, when will it be my turn?" Ma Rui shook his head gently and complained casually. No matter what his previous life appears, there are always all kinds of geniuses around him, and he will always be the supporting role to accompany him.
"Young Master doesn't need it!" The maid followed Ma Rui and laughed: "Compared with them, the young master is more enviable! If you can live a comfortable and worry-free life, why do you have to work hard?"
Ma Rui smiled bitterly, thinking of the Maros's needs theory in his previous life. The maids and maids who lived at the bottom pursued Ma Rui's comfortable life. Ma Rui, who had enough food and clothing, wanted to pursue the recognition of others, while those geniuses pursued higher and stronger levels, and went up? I don't know... In short, as long as it is human beings, they always have unsatisfied desires, whether on Earth or Qiyuan Continent.
"Okay! I'll go back to the house to rest for a while. If I don't ask you, I won't be able to serve you." Ma Rui walked to the door, turned to signal Mei'er to leave, and touched his full belly. It was estimated that the large pot of pig intestine had not been digested in the afternoon, so he added casually: "I won't eat dinner anymore, so I'll refuse it together!"
After hearing what happened today, Ma Rui was even more eager to try to swallow the monster materials. Once the test was successful, he would be the one who was challenged in the future!
Mei'er already understood that it wasn't the young master who was dating her just now, but from the conversation between the two young masters just now, we can know that the young master had concealed some things from the eldest master. But these things were not hidden from Mei'er! It can be seen that Mei'er's weight in the young master's heart!
"Yes, young master." Mei'er nodded obediently and added a soft voice: "If you have something to do, you can call me any time you want!"
This is an active hint. What can I do if the maid is asked to serve the young master in the middle of the night? Apart from serving the bed, can I hide in the bed and play chess?
Unfortunately, Ma Rui had already devoted himself to the monster medicinal materials and did not pay attention to the expectant and shy expression of the maid when the door was closed.
Ma Rui opened the top bag of medicinal materials, and one or two rhinoceros horn powder was quite large. It covered the bottom of the bowl. After pouring half a bowl of tea, Ma Rui stirred it with his index finger for a few times, then picked up the bowl of turbid black and gray liquid floating, took a deep breath, frowned, raised his head and poured it into his throat.
The taste will definitely not be good. The fishy smell is accompanied by a faint smell of mold, which is astringent and choking.
Long pain is worse than short pain. It is like going to a university cafeteria to eat. Eating quickly does not mean that the taste is good. It is mostly to reduce the pain of the taste buds.
"Wait first..." Ma Rui rinsed his mouth after swallowing the rhinoceros horn powder, and muttered to himself.
Looking at the remaining medicine bags, I felt extremely conflicted. On the one hand, I hope to obtain the ability of the poisonous swamp heavy armored giant rhinoceros, and on the other hand, I hope that the rhinoceros horn powder will fail, so that I don’t have to swallow those two packets of terrible excrement! If even rhinoceros horn powder is ineffective, eating shit is effective, it is a ghost to see it!
The waiting time is the most boring. Ma Rui thought that in the novel, he seemed to have to practice luck in order to match the effects of the medicine, so he pretended to activate a few slight slights in his body.
The breath is still slim, but Ma Rui smelled a stronger pig iron smell, which means that the active breath will indeed make the taste stronger.
But the expectant sleepiness had not arrived for a long time. Ma Rui lay dryly on the bed, watching the moon slowly sticking to the right window frame from the left window frame, but still had no sleepiness, and his body had no changes, except... hunger.
Ma Rui walked out of the house lightly. He originally wanted to go to the kitchen to find some food, but remembered that he broke into the kitchen last time and wanted to cook orders by himself. When his father Ma Yue found out, he not only got angry and scolded him, but even almost fryed all the chefs!
That was the first time Ma Rui knew that "a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen" was not casually said in Qiyuan Continent, and he also understood why the chefs were so desperate when he forced himself into the kitchen...
In order to avoid causing trouble, Ma Rui decided to ask the maid to have some midnight snack.
It was already late at night, and the moon was like jade, and everything around was silent. Ma Rui was embarrassed to shout at the top of his throat, so he slowly touched the side room while it was dark and carefully pushed open the maid's door...
"Mei'er?" Ma Rui exclaimed softly, watching the girl lying quietly on the bed, without reacting for a long time, so he slightly increased the tone: "Mei'er!"
Still unresponsive, Ma Rui curled his lips, why did this girl sleep so hard! So he lifted his foot into the house and prepared to wake up the maid.
In fact, Mei'er woke up when Ma Rui pushed open the door. He heard the young master calling herself like a thief. He wanted to respond, but then he thought that the young master was testing whether he was asleep. Maybe... so he continued to calmly pretend to sleep, and his heart was beating like a jubilant rabbit, especially after the young master shouted the second time, he actually walked towards the bed...
Finally here! Mei'er seemed calm, and her heart had already started fighting with heaven and man. She wasn't she tangled about resisting or not, but was thinking about whether to continue to pretend to be dead and let the young master fiddle with it, or to use the methods taught by the old mothers to cater to please the young master?
Ma Rui's hand had reached the girl's cheek, intending to pat the sleepy maid lightly, but a moment before touching the girl's pink cheek, he suddenly stopped and turned his head in disbelief to look at the other side of the room: "Hmm?"
The moonlight brought a hazy blue light to the narrow room through the window. The direction Ma Rui was staring at was by the window. There was a bird that was extremely beautiful even at night. He was tilting his head in the cage and staring at Ma Rui with one looking sideways.
When I first entered the house, I didn't pay much attention. It was normal for the girl's boudoir to have some fragrance, but when I walked to the maid Mei'er, in addition to the faint burnt smell, I had to notice another clear orchid-like fragrance of flowers, which did not come from the girl's body, but emitted from the bird cage by the window!
The brother Ma Xiang gave the bird to Ma Rui, but Ma Rui was not interested and felt it was troublesome, so he handed the bird to Mei'er for raising it, so he hung it in Mei'er's room. And Ma Rui was extremely sure that the first time he saw this bird, there was no such strong fragrance of flowers!
How can a bird have the five elements?
Ma Rui was surprised and suspicious, especially when facing the bird's eyes that were bright as stars in the middle of the night, it seemed that both sides were observing each other?
At the third update of the night, the young master and a bird were staring at each other in a stalemate. Mei'er, who was pretending to be asleep, was breathing uneasy. She had already seen the young master standing by the bed through the cracks of her eyes, and even one hand was about to touch her face. She waited for a long time but didn't take the next move, which made the girl feel irritable!
If you want to kill or cut, you can at least give me a message! You have to do it as early as possible. Are you still waiting for dawn?
"Young Master!" In the end, Mei'er couldn't help it, pretended to wake up suddenly, and sat on the edge of the bed with a frightened look, full of bad intentions and anger: "What are you doing in my room!"
Mei'er was really angry! She wanted to drive this indecisive young master out!
"Is this bird... a monster?" Ma Rui had no time to respond to the maid's doubts and stared at the same cautious and quiet bird.
"Young Master, are you sleeping in a mess?" Mei'er was in a bad mood and was not polite to speak, and she directly ridiculed Ma Rui: "I touched my room in the middle of the night just to see the birds?"
Mei'er hates it! She wants to see other birds!
"Mei'er, go to the kitchen to find something to eat first." Ma Rui had no time to deal with the maid's rudeness, his eyes were still locked in the bird cage, and he took two steps back cautiously and leaned against the door.
Although the maid was full of anger, she still had to listen to the young master's instructions. Fortunately, the weather was not cold in the late summer, so she casually put on a long gown and ran out in anger.
Until the maid's footsteps went away, Ma Rui stood with his back against the door, and the room was quiet and silent, leaving only one person and one bird to confront each other. After hesitation, Ma Rui suddenly spoke: "Are you a monster?"
There was only a colorful bird left in the room, which was a living creature. It was obvious that Ma Rui was Yu Xiaoniao talking.
Maybe outsiders think Ma Rui is crazy and actually talks with a bird, but Ma Rui has to be so cautious because he is very afraid now. The fragrance of flowers emitted by this bird is stronger than the sea breeze emitted by his brother Ma Xiang. In other words, this bird is likely to be a monster above the Dan stage!
And how could a monster of this level be locked in a bird cage made of bamboo strips? There are only two possibilities: either Ma Rui was wrong, this is an ordinary pet; or the bird deliberately pretended to be a pet and hid it from everyone!
Ma Rui didn't think that the five elements he had obtained would make mistakes, so the situation in front of him would be very bad. This bird is not only a monster, but also has intelligence and can actually conceal its identity!
The dark room was like a stagnant scene, so quiet that Ma Rui's heartbeat could be heard. Time passed by minute by minute, and the bird in the birdcage still did not respond. He kept staring at Ma Rui with his head tilted, and his eyes were not fluctuating.
Could it be that he was wrong? Ma Rui sniffed his nose again, and the smell was still the same, and it was definitely not an illusion.
I looked back at the outside of the house and probably the food was cold and Meier needed to reheat the dishes and would not come back for a while.
Ma Rui's eyes gradually became colder, and the fear just now turned into greed. He smacked his lips: "It should taste good. The bamboo sticks are ready. I'm sorry if I don't bake them!"
After Ma Rui said this, the bird finally reacted, flapping its wings violently in the cage, making a cooing sound like a dove.
"Hmm? Don't pretend anymore?" Ma Rui's cunning eyes shone. As expected, this bird is not only a monster, but also has intelligence. Otherwise, it would not be so strategic and deliberately hides in this slender bird cage.
The colorful birds also knew they had been fooled! The human in front of them didn't even move his pace, keeping half a room away from the cage, but in fact they didn't dare to come forward and get close, let alone eat!
The bet is right! Since Ma Rui can smell that this is a monster above the Killing Phase, no one dares to really try it, he will just cheat out of nothing. Even if he fails, there will be no loss. Once he succeeds, it will be very exciting!
"Do you need me to open the bird cage?" Ma Rui narrowed his eyes and stared at the bird with a little horror in his eyes.
I didn't look at it carefully when I accepted it before, and I felt it was just a playful bird similar to a macaw. Now, I look closely at the bird's body looks a bit like the previous life's Hooho, with much brighter colors, blue-green tones on the main body, green-yellow at the tips of the wings, and huge crowns of purple-red alternating purple-red. The whole body dyed the colors of the rainbow all over.
At this time, the bird heard Ma Rui's words and showed a human-like meditation movement. He tilted his head slightly and blinked his eyes, and then shook his head humanely.
"No need?" Ma Rui was also surprised. Pet dogs with well-trained past lives may not be so magical and can communicate with humans!
Dear!
It seemed to be to prove its strength, the little bird, which was a little larger than its fist, suddenly stretched its neck, pecked a bamboo stick in a bird cage, swayed its head and threw the fragments away at will, and then looked back at Ma Rui like a demonstration.
"Then what are your intentions?" Ma Rui's eyes became hot. According to the plot of the novel, the monster refused to leave. Could it be that he discovered that there were secret treasures and other things in the Ma clan? Or was Ma Rui full of secrets?
The bird shook its head.
"You can understand, but you can't say it, right?" Ma Rui realized that the little bird might not imitate human language like a parrot.
The bird nodded.
"Have you discovered some secret treasure?" Ma Rui could not suppress the excitement in his heart and took two steps forward.
The bird still shook its head.
"Is it to guide me?" Ma Rui's eyes shining.
The bird still shook its head.
"Are you looking for something?"
"Are you looking for someone?"
"Are you here to spy on the intelligence?"
Ma Rui asked almost all the plots he could think of. The bird shook his head from beginning to end, making Ma Rui worried whether the bird would shake into a concussion.
"Are you really just a pet?" Ma Rui sighed. He had a rare chance to encounter a spiritual monster, but he couldn't even ask why!
For the first time, the bird nodded.
"Damn!" Ma Rui was furious, what's the matter! He yelled fiercely: "I'll bake you and eat it!"
When it comes to eating, the bird immediately showed a timid expression, his eyes became frightened, and he moved his way into the cage a few steps. It seemed that he was really worried that Ma Rui would eat it.
"Young Master, your midnight snack!" Mei'er finally brought her food. Although she was complaining, she still tried hard to prepare delicious hot soup for the young master in the middle of the night. According to the young master's strange request, she added less salt and honey. A midnight snack was a shame in the midnight snack world.
Unfortunately, Ma Rui was fully focused on the bird cage, and he was completely unaware of the maid Hua's thoughts. He didn't even look at the food. He just picked up the bird cage and ordered casually: "Take it to my room, I'll take this bird away first."
Mei'er sighed softly, and just now she figured it out in the kitchen. It turned out that she was all self-indulgent. The young master had never cared about her at all. It was just a misunderstanding. How could the noble young master fall in love with a poor and humble maid? He was not even qualified to treat it as a toy.
