The cultivator who rushed down from the mountain road was not low, and Du Heng could not see his cultivation. He had a handsome face and a vast Taoist robe on him, making him look like a banished immortal. He had beautiful silver hair. When he rushed down from the mountain road, Du Heng felt in a trance that he saw Jing Nan or Feng Gui.

The visitor stopped in front of Du Heng, and he stared at Du Heng's backpack with disbelief in his eyes.

Du Heng looked at his expression and then looked at the snake body that was still twisting in front of him. He asked weakly: "That... this fellow Taoist, is this the snake you raised?"

Is he in trouble? Du Heng pinched the seven-inch snake inside Xiaoxiao's claws awkwardly. What a guy, the seven-inch snake's arms are thicker than Du Heng's arm. The big snake is heavy, and it can't stop its twisting body without some strength.

Du Heng carefully handed the snake to the monk: "Give it... I'm sorry, it seems to be almost out of reach. Look, can you still save it?"

The monk opposite looked at the crushed snake's head, glanced at it and said calmly: "It's hard to save the gods."

Du Heng wanted a crack on the ground to let him get in. After putting the snake on the ground, he solemnly saluted the monk: "I'm sorry, the matter is already like this. Let's discuss what to do?"

No matter who is provoking trouble first, it is an indisputable fact that the snake is dead now. Du Heng thought that if the other party was not too much, he could give out some spirit stones to resolve the matter. It is said that more things are worse than less, and he doesn't want to cause trouble. But if the other party is too much, he will not let it go.

Xiaoxiao exploded as soon as he heard this. He jumped out of the basket and burst into a shocking chirping sound. Du Heng didn't understand most of the chirping sounds of Xiaoxiao, but based on Du Heng's understanding of Xiaoxiao, he should be cursing.

The monk opposite looked at Xiaoxiao, who was scolding in surprise, and he actually smiled. After Xiaoxiao finished scolding, he said to Du Heng: "Is this your spiritual pet?"

Du Heng said: "He is my family, not just a spiritual pet." So don't think about using Xiaoxiao to compensate him for the snake. If you say it in detail, the snake will take action first. What's this? If you are not strong enough, you deserve it!

The monk saluted Du Heng: "I am Tai Shuhong, a disciple of the inner sect of the Beast Garden." Du Heng replied: "Du Heng, a servant in the Yishen Hall of Shenxiufeng."

Hearing Du Heng's identity, Tai Shuhong looked at Du Heng several times in surprise. He said in confusion: "With your cultivation level, why do you work as a traitor?" And he is also a traitor in the kitchen hall. Isn't this a traitor?

Du Heng smiled and said, "I originally wanted to be a disciple of the outer sect mission, but the sect didn't want it, so I could only sneak in and do a chore."

Tai Shuhong looked at the still-furious smile, and he sighed and said, "It's such a pity. With your level of taming spirit beasts, there is no problem in coming to our beast garden to be a core disciple."

Xiaoxiao stood on the snake and jumped to the feet. He heard Du Heng and Tai Shuhong chatting. He became even more angry: "Jiujiujiu!!"

Stop chatting, listen to him! He is the victim, okay? They should not be the victim just because he killed the snake!

Tai Shuhong looked at Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes: "What is his name?" Du Heng introduced: "His name is Xiaoxiao."

Tai Shuhong said: "Your Xiaoxiao is very powerful. The fourth-level Red Flame Mang on the ground is as powerful as a golden elixir monk. He crushed its head with one claw. When Xiaoxiao grows up, he will definitely become a very powerful spirit beast. Is he... the cub of the golden wings of the Great Phang?"

Du Heng looked at the poke on Xiaoxiao's head: "Ah... that's right."

Du Heng wanted to know why things turned out like this. As the miser, Tai Shuhong did not pester him and did not let him pay his life. Instead, he took out the Guoren, the feather tribe in the Beast Garden, who liked to eat, to entertain Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, a rude man, immediately stopped cursing when he saw Guoren. He squatted in Tai Shuhong's arms and touched him casually, touched him and ate the Guoren. His cheeks were round.

Tai Shuhong held Xiaoxiao in his arms and was feeding him food. Du Heng squatted on the ground and peeled the snake.

Tai Shuhong said: "This Red Flame Mang is not right these days. It keeps running towards Shenxiu Peak. I didn't understand why it did this at first, but now I understand. It turns out that it wants to eat your Xiaoxiao. If it had known that it would be the end, it would probably hide away."

Du Heng folded the peeled snake skin and put it aside. He chopped off the snake's head with a knife while comforting Tai Shuhong: "Don't be too sad. Come to Yichen Hall later. I'll invite you to cook snake meat."

Tai Shuhong smiled and shook his head: "I'm not sad. I didn't like it very much. It was too greedy. Over the years, I have swallowed countless feather tribes in the beast garden. Some of the high-grade small feather tribes were harmed by it before they broke their shells. If the sect had not stipulated that cultivators who raised spirit beasts would not harm the spirit beasts, I would have done it long ago. Now that they died at the hands of the feather tribes, they would have avenged the previous small feather tribes."

Du Heng laughed: "What is this called? Retribution." No wonder Tai Shuhong is so easy to talk to and even gave him snake meat. It turned out that it was because he didn't love it.

Tai Shuhong gently touched Xiaoxiao's down: "Xiaoxiao is so well raised. Can I ask you how you raised it? There is also a cub with golden wings in the Spirit Beast Garden. It has been raised for more than two hundred years, but it is still weak."

Du Heng thought for a while and said, "Nothing special, but my family is not picky about food." As he spoke, he stuffed the snake meat into the storage bag. He dug a hole in the peeled internal organs and buried it.

He wrapped the snake head with snake skin, tied it with a rope and handed it to Tai Shuhong. Chi Yanmang's skin could make a very good magic weapon. He died of death, so he always had to leave something for Tai Shuhong.

Tai Shuhong took the snakeskin and stuffed it into his carry-on storage bag. He picked it up and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to get the ingredients."

During the conversation just now, Tai Shuhong understood why Du Heng came to the Beast Garden. Someone had come to the Beast Garden to ask for ingredients that spiritual beasts would not eat, but he drove them away because he saw it. Now seeing Du Heng, he felt that Du Heng was particularly close to him, and for the sake of laughing, he would also give some ingredients.

The Beast Imperial Garden is halfway up the mountainside of Shenzao Peak. There are eight or nine palaces of all sizes in the woods on the mountainside, and there are various spirit beasts in it. There is a corridor hidden in the clouds and mist on the upper side of the mountain leading to Shenxiu Peak. When Du Heng returns, he can take a shortcut from the corridor.

Tai Shuhong introduced: "There was no beast garden in Shenxu Palace. Sword cultivators who devoted themselves to practicing will rarely raise spiritual beasts." Du Heng looked at the endless palace and asked in surprise: "How did you raise it later?"

Tai Shuhong said: "That's because our peak master, the peak master has a close friend who loves spiritual beasts and raises a lot of spiritual beasts. After the close friend passed away, the peak master took over his spiritual beasts. Later, when he raised them, he had feelings, and then the current beast garden was found."

Du Heng sighed: "How many spiritual beasts are there in such a big garden?"

Tai Shuhong looked at Du Heng: "There are not many spiritual beasts, and we lack the experience in raising spiritual beasts. The spiritual beasts we raise are very cute. It is okay to act coquettishly and relieve boredom. When we encounter something, we are not as good as the spiritual sword in our hands."

While speaking, Tai Shuhong took Du Heng to the square of a palace in the middle. There was an ancient tree in the square. The branches of the ancient tree covered the sky and the sun. When you looked up, you would find that there were many birds on the tree. These birds were all green and colorful. Before you could get close, you could hear their chirping.

There are three large stone troughs under the tree, and there are many nuts piled up in the stone trough. The kernels are big and full, and there are also many spiritual rice and brown rice mixed in it.

Tai Shuhong said: "The bird food in the stone trough needs to be replaced every day." Spiritual beasts like to clean themselves and do not eat and pull them while eating like ordinary birds. Therefore, even if there is a surplus of grains in the stone trough, they are very clean.

While speaking, a servant cleaned out the kernel and spiritual rice in the three stone troughs. Du Heng estimated that the remaining birds in the three stone troughs had enough food.

The servants put the replaced bird food in the basket, then replaced it with fresh spiritual rice and nuts. Tai Shuhong said to Xiaoxiao, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiaoxiao nodded quickly: "Jiujiu." This guy was cursing before, but he had already gotten along with Brother Tai Shuhong.

Tai Shuhong smiled and put Xiaoxiao on the stone trough: "Eat." The servants all saw Tai Shuhong's smiles as if they were ghosts, but Du Heng didn't think there was anything wrong. Tai Shuhong is such a beautiful person, and it looks good when she smiles.

Du Heng asked casually: "Where are those bird foods replaced?" Tai Shuhong said: "Leave it to the servants to handle, do you need it?"

Du Heng's head was the same as Xiaoxiao. Why not? There are so many nuts and so many rice, and you can cook porridge when you go back and wash it.

Tai Shuhong said to Du Heng seriously: "From the future, I will have someone give Xiaoxiao food every day, okay? As long as you ask me to see him, is that okay?"

Du Heng smiled and said, "It's okay not to send food. You can watch it anytime if you want. We Xiaoxiao like new friends the most."

Xiaoxiao, who had a mouthful of nuts, raised her head and made a blocked chirping sound, which was considered to be Tai Shuhong's new friend.

Tai Shuhong showed a shy smile: "That's good."

Xiaoxiao was stuck in the stone trough. Not only did he quarrel, he was also placing things into his storage bag openly. Du Heng knew what he was doing at a glance, and Xiaoxiao was bringing snacks to them every year.

Tai Shuhong said to Du Heng: "Let Xiaoxiao eat here, I'll take you in to get some food."

This time it was Du Heng's turn to be surprised: "Hey? Haven't you given it to me?" The nuts and spiritual rice in the stone trough were already allowed to make Du Heng a lot of rice.

Tai Shuhong said calmly: "Those are snacks eaten by the feather tribe. Not all birds eat nuts and spiritual rice. More birds and spiritual beasts eat meat."

Du Heng followed Tai Shuhong's footsteps and entered the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he heard the barking of dogs and tigers. The sounds were close at hand, but Du Heng looked around and saw only the gorgeous palace. Not to mention tigers, he didn't even see a tiger hair.

Tai Shuhong suddenly stood still: "Wait a moment." Du Heng only felt a strong wind slid past in front of him. At some point, Tai Shuhong had already held a golden sword in his hand. The sword seemed to have cut something. The gorgeous palace in front of Du Heng twisted like a phantom and disappeared.

What appeared in front of him was a vast forest, with wood spiritual energy coming towards him, and Du Heng felt that every pore was comfortable. However, before he could take a few more breaths, a colorful tiger eight feet long jumped out of the forest.

The tiger roared towards Du Heng, and Tai Shuhong swayed and blocked Du Heng. A powerful sword energy swept away, and the giant tiger that flew into the air fell to the ground, with his two ears pressing on his scalp.

Tai Shuhong said: "Get out, this is a guest."

The giant tiger shook its tail and looked at Du Heng angrily, then retreated to the side. The huge tiger was as well-behaved as a kitten.

Du Heng couldn't help but applaud Tai Shuhong: "It's so awesome!"

Tai Shuhong's cheeks were slightly red, and he said subtly: "Only. Come with me."

After advancing along the path in the forest for a while, he saw the same stone trough under the big tree, but this time the stone trough was enlarged several times, and there were not nuts, but various animals piled up inside!

Among them are small tender chickens with hair, whole pigs, sheep and cows stabbed on the neck with blood. It is worth mentioning that these pigs, cows and sheep are all artificially domesticated by Du Heng, rather than the mountain ointment and Kui Niu he ate before.

Tai Shuhong said to Du Heng: "This is the ingredients I just changed into this morning, and you can take half of them."

Du Heng smiled and said, "No one can use half of it. I can't be grateful if I can give me a pig."

Tai Shuhong looked at Du Heng seriously: "It is a waste not to take it away. Yesterday, most of them were left. The meat is not as good as nuts, and it will break if you can't finish it. Instead of wasting it here, it's better to take it away and make something for Xiaoxiao to eat."

It was hard to refuse the kindness. Du Heng raised his face and dragged two pigs, three sheep and a cow. He thought that his cafeteria would not have to worry about the ingredients in the past two days. He just regretted that the room where the ingredients were stored in Shenxu Palace did not have the same time stagnation function as his refrigerator, otherwise he could drag it back more.

Du Heng held Tai Shuhong's hand and was grateful: "Uncle Tai, you are so good. Can I invite you to go to Yichentang for lunch at noon?"

A thin blush appeared on Tai Shuhong's face, and the exiled immortal-like man was so shy that he stuttered: "Can you go tonight? Something happened at noon."

Du Heng gave a thumbs up: "We must come tonight, I will let Xiaoxiao pick you up at that time."

When he heard that Xiaoxiao was coming to pick him up, Tai Shuhong smiled even deeper: "I'll just go by myself. Don't let Xiaoxiao come, it will be very dangerous."

Time is urgent, and Du Heng has to go back to make lunch. Tai Shuhong sent Du Heng and the others to the edge of the corridor, and he cared for him: "After passing the corridor, it is Shenxiu Peak. After you go there, you can go to Erchen Hall. I will keep the ingredients for you in the morning, and you just remember to come and pick it up."

Du Heng nodded repeatedly: "I remember. Come and have dinner tonight!"

The clouds and mist on both sides of the corridor were covered with deep clouds. When I looked down, the timid people were shaking their legs. Du Heng sighed that the people who built the corridor were so powerful that they could be built!

After walking for a while, he turned around and looked behind him. Tai Shuhong was still standing in the same place and looking at Du Heng and the others' backs. Du Heng waved to him, and Tai Shuhong turned around and left.

Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao, "He must be very lonely." For some reason, after seeing Tai Shuhong, Du Heng felt that he was very lonely.

Xiaoxiao burped with the smell of nuts: "Jiujiu." He will not be lonely in the future. Xiaoxiao decided that he would come to the beast garden to accompany Tai Shuhong more when he has time in the future, just for the delicious food given by Tai Shuhong. This deal is also cost-effective!

There was actually a pavilion in the middle of the corridor! There were two people in the pavilion. Du Heng looked closely and saw that one of them was an acquaintance.

He was amused: "Jiang Shangzhou! I got the ingredients!"

Jiang Shangzhou was leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, and there was an old man with a crane-haired and young face sitting next to him. Seeing the old man, Du Heng respectfully saluted: "Good sword immortal."

Jiang Shangzhou was unhappy: "Why do you call him the Sword Immortal when you see him, and call me my real name when you see me? You are different treatment." Du Heng glared at Jiang Shangzhou. He, a young man, was so embarrassed to compare with the old Sword Immortal?

Look at this old sword immortal, there is a faint sword energy lingering all over his body. This is a master who has reached a certain level of cultivation.

The old sword fairy smiled and touched the white beard. He looked up and down at Du Heng: "You are the little Du mentioned by Yizhou? Well, you are a good person. Are you from Shenzao Peak?"

Du Heng smiled and said, "Yes." Du Heng looked at Jiang Shangzhou with a smile. It turned out that Jiang Shangzhou had such a cute nickname?

The old sword fairy nodded with a smile: "Okay." He stood up and said to Jiang Shangzhou, "I won't say much to you, you can do it yourself."

Jiang Shangzhou rolled his eyes: "I understand."

The old sword fairy smiled and said to Du Heng: "I have time to come to Shenzao Peak to play." Du Heng nodded: "Okay."

The sword fairy disappeared into the pavilion as soon as she swung her figure. Jiang Shangzhou snorted: "Pretending, Du Heng, don't pay attention to him. By the way, have you got the ingredients?"
