"That's the meaning of the words. Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand with each other. However, during this period of time, the people around you will only encounter misfortune and not fortune," Tao Jiyuan said with an ugly look on his face. Everyone looked at Ren Baqian as if they were looking at a pile of feces.
Ren Baqian turned his head to look at the people around him and thought that this couldn't be true, right?
Then, he pointed to the distance with an innocent face and said, "There's a fire, let's put it out first."
"…"
Everyone turned to look at the kitchen that was on fire not far away, then turned to look at Ren Baqian and took another step back.
The guards in the distance had already rushed over to put out the fire.
Now, even Ren Baqian felt that it was too strange.
However, it could also be a coincidence. He hoped that was the case.
Otherwise, how could he return to the city with the attribute of a jinx?
Just now, it was only a very small earthquake that stopped in less than a minute. Everyone waited for a while, and seeing that nothing happened, they went back to rest in twos and threes.
Ren Baqian's residence was changed to the wooden house that Tao Jiyuan originally stayed in. Tao Jiyuan ran over to squeeze in with Teng Ji and the other winged cavalry warriors.
Now, he was unwilling to sleep in the same house as Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian slept in the house that Tao Jiyuan slept in previously. He was on tenterhooks for half a day, afraid that something would happen again.
After a long time, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, everyone started to pack their things and prepared to leave the mountain.
In fact, there wasn't much to pack. However, Teng Ji specially asked for a tree bark rope from the guards and tied it around Ren Baqian's waist.
If it was before, he would only be a little worried. However, after the incident with the bichi, his worry had escalated from a little to a lot.
If anything happened to Ren Baqian, they would really only have misfortune and no fortune.
As they walked out of the mountain, other than an extremely skilled winged cavalry warrior who walked in front of Ren Baqian and Teng Ji who followed behind, everyone else stayed far away. Especially Tao Jiyuan, he had already hidden at the back.
"I feel that there should be no problem. It's not like the grim reaper is here." They had already walked more than half of the mountain path. After the initial nervousness, Ren Baqian gradually relaxed.
Even if the bichi really brought bad luck to people, it wouldn't be so immediate and frightening.
However, Teng Ji didn't know what the grim reaper meant. His words couldn't make the other party relax.
"Sir Ren, as long as we leave the mountain, there will be no problems," Teng Ji said.
Ren Baqian and the others heaved a sigh of relief as they walked through this section of the mountain road while trembling with fear.
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be that serious." Ren Baqian turned his head and smiled.
Even though everyone said so about the bichi, Ren Baqian was still a little skeptical after the two incidents that happened last night.
Even though Ren Baqian had transmigrated and seen the kirin before, he still instinctively didn't believe in such mysterious things.
This was the result of the education he had received and the habits he had cultivated.
Just as Ren Baqian was speaking, a shadow suddenly covered his entire body. Teng Ji's facial expression immediately changed. He pulled out his long saber and leaped towards Ren Baqian's head. His speed was so fast that Ren Baqian almost didn't have time to react.
The people at the back could see a huge bird with a wingspan of seven to eight meters rapidly descending from the sky. It extended its sharp claws and pounced toward Ren Baqian.
Teng Ji slashed out with his blade and blood rained down from the sky. Soon after, the bird let out a miserable shriek and fell to the ground.
The entire bird's chest and abdomen were split open by Teng Ji's blade. The contents of the bird's stomach splashed all over Ren Baqian's head and face.
Ren Baqian happened to raise his head to look and was splashed by the liquid. He almost vomited.
"Sir Ren, are you alright?" Teng Ji turned around and looked at Ren Baqian after he landed on the ground.
Ren Baqian wiped his face, pulled out a handful of internal organs and threw them to the ground.
The stench went straight into his nose and his stomach felt like it was overturned.
"Water, water." Ren Baqian hurriedly shouted. Immediately, someone passed him a water bag and let him splash his face.
His body was still covered in blood, but Ren Baqian finally felt that he was alive again.
Just now, he almost thought that he was going to die from disgust.
He hurriedly found a small stream nearby, took off his clothes and washed his body. Only then did he stand there with his pants on and let out a long sigh.
"I'm sorry, Sir Ren. I was too anxious just now." Teng Ji cupped his fists and apologized.
"It's alright. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be in trouble." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"What kind of bird is that? It actually dared to capture a human. "While walking back, he asked.
"It's a flower eagle. This thing usually catches wild beasts in the mountains to eat. Occasionally, it will attack humans, but it's very rare. I'm afraid that Sir Ren's aura isn't strong, which made it embolden its courage to attack, "Teng Ji said.
"…"
Does this mean that I'm too weak and easy to bully?
Ren Baqian walked back and prepared to see what exactly the flower eagle looked like. When he reached the place, he saw that everyone was already plucking its feathers.
"Sir, you are in luck today. This flower eagle is extremely difficult to catch and its taste is even better." Tao Jiyuan stood at a distance and smiled at Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian was speechless. I was almost caught by this thing to eat and even got drenched all over my face. Is this considered a blessing for you guys?
Half of the feathers on this flower eagle's body had been plucked by the two winged cavalry warriors, but one could still roughly see its appearance. Its winged wings were seven to eight meters long, its body wasn't small either, it was at least two to three meters long, and its pair of claws were extremely strong. If it were to scratch a human body, it would probably leave a few holes.
As for its appearance, before its feathers were plucked, it should still be quite powerful. Anyway, it was now a feathered phoenix that was inferior to a chicken.
"Sir, there is this in its stomach." One of the winged cavalry warriors ran over and said to Teng Ji. He was holding something in his hands. After washing it with water, one could see that it was like colored sand.
"Sir Ren, keep this." Teng Ji had an envious look on his face.
"What is this?" Ren Baqian curiously took it and examined it in his hands. It was an extremely small granule that was only slightly thicker than sand. Under the light, it reflected a weak five-colored radiance.
"This is cloud crystal. As long as you add some of it when forging a weapon, an ordinary weapon will immediately become like a Heaven-grade weapon. Not only will it be able to cut through iron like mud, it will also have various other effects. This handful of cloud crystals is enough to forge a top-notch weapon. " Tao Jiyuan came over and looked at the thing in Ren Baqian's hands with an envious look. If this thing was in the hands of others, countless people would want to get their hands on it.
Unfortunately, it was in the hands of this person, so there was no need to even think about it.
Upon hearing this, Ren Baqian immediately found a bag and carefully placed these cloud crystals in it, afraid that he would miss out on any of them. At the same time, he ran over to the flower eagle's stomach that the winged cavalry warrior had cut open. It was at least the size of a few fists, and at this moment, it was completely empty.
Even though he had no use for this thing, it would be good to gift it to the empress when he returned. Or perhaps, he could sell it for a large sum of money. Or perhaps, he could bring it back to Earth for examination? Perhaps, it could even have a greater use.
"This cloud crystal is extremely rare, and I don't know where this flower eagle found it. Perhaps, it swallowed it into its stomach to aid in grinding and digesting its food. If we know where it found this cloud crystal, we might be able to find even more of it, "Teng Ji said somewhat regretfully.
