Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mantis Arm Blocks the Car
Wu Ma was taken aback, but soon understood what happened, this old woman was the Lingzhi Fairy, she used her body to heal herself, and she was so greedy that she hollowed out her body, making her age like this overnight.
"Did the way I look now, scare you?" asked the Lingzhi Fairy.
"No, you will always be so beautiful, but I am too greedy and do not know how to control it, so I hurt you. Wu Ma Xin said, taking her into his arms and gently stroking her dry silver hair. He was full of gratitude and guilt at the moment, and he didn't know how he could make it up to her.
The Lingzhi fairy grinned and smiled on her shriveled lips and said, "What's the matter?
Wu Ma looked at the aging Lingzhi fairy in front of him distressedly, nodded very seriously and said, "Yes." ”
Lingzhi Fairy sighed and said, "The biggest shortcoming of your Wuma family is that you have a pair of eyes that allow people to see through their hearts. Child, Duanguo is not as simple as you think, and Shenzhou is not as simple as you think, you have to learn to protect yourself. ”
One sentence made Wu Ma's heart even more distressed, it was he who made her change from a fairy to an old woman, and the tone that seemed to be an elder heard in her ears, and it was like a silver needle piercing her heart.
"Haha," the Lingzhi Fairy laughed, coughed several times in succession, smoothed his breathing for a while, and then said slowly, "You are terminally ill, only the power of Lingzhi in my body can save you, and this is the fastest way." You don't have to blame yourself, every time I save someone like this, I will run out of energy, I will grow old overnight, and it will take a long time to recuperate before I can regain my youthful and beautiful skin. ”
"Every time?"
"That's right, this is the third time, and the last time was for Wu Ma Pingchuan. ”
Wu Ma was stunned for a moment.
"Actually, I'm an old woman, so are you a lot more at ease, in terms of seniority, you should at least call me grandma. ”
Lingzhi Fairy looked at Wu Ma Xin with a bewildered expression, and said with a smile, "Do you suddenly not know how to face me?"
Wu Ma Xin didn't speak, but his expression was already acquiescing, and he didn't know if he should withdraw his hand holding her.
"What you can't understand is just the ethics and logic of you dogs, in fact, these are nothing, I am just a grass, a grass that can cure diseases. Lingzhi Fairy got up from his body and slowly got dressed, "Because you are a member of the Wuma family, you have your mission, you can't be tied to the love of children, let alone trapped in Lunchang's obedience, one day you will understand all this." ”
The Lingzhi fairy said, got up and left, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
This is the second time Wu Ma Xin has heard someone call him Earth Dog, and he can't help but think of Long Yiyi again, remembering their agreement, and not knowing if he can still go to the appointment as scheduled.
Wu Ma Xin supported his body with his hands and wanted to sit up, but he felt weak in his limbs, so he had to lie down again, and unconsciously closed his eyes again.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn. Wu Ma Xin felt that his body was much lighter, and with his hands propped up, the whole person flew up, almost using too much force and lying forward. Stabilizing his body, he couldn't help but be surprised when he had such skills. When I looked down, I found that the arrow hole on my body was gone, and Lingzhi was really a miracle medicine for resurrection, but it was just ...... He couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Wu Ma Xin walked out of the house, and the people who were originally chatting and practicing in twos and threes glanced at him, and continued to do their own things, although there was only one eye at each other, but it could be seen that their eyes were very complicated, there was jealousy, regret, and anger, but there was no malice, and there was no surprise.
Wu Ma Xin walked in front of the thin old man, and said with a deep salute: "In Xia Wu Ma Xin, dare to ask the senior's surname?"
The thin old man's nose "snorted", but he didn't pay attention to it, and the whole person disappeared into the soil and disappeared in an instant. The white fat old man on the side said with a smile: "We are just a group of old children, you ruined our favorite fairy, can you give you a good face." ”
Wu Ma Xin hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The younger generation didn't do it intentionally, it was really unintentional." ”
The fat old man laughed and said: "We naturally know, otherwise we would have turned you into powder a long time ago, but he has a small heart and can't get over this hurdle in his heart, and it will be fine in two days." ”
"Yes, yes. Dare to ask the seniors their names?"
"The people of the mountains and wilderness have no name, only a nickname that is easy to feed. The fat old man said, "My name is the river monster, and that dry and thin man is the wild donkey elder." ”
Then he pointed to the old man of the Black Tower and said, "He is an iron man." He pointed to the old man in the green robe and said, "He is an old farmer chopping wood." He pointed to the old man in the distance with red eyes and fire all around him, and said, "He is a fire monster." ”
The river monster came to be interested, and pointed to the people further away and introduced: "This is the Flower Saint, that is the Sea Swallowing Dragon King, that is the Golden Bone Fairy, and the one holding the wine bottle is a drunkard, called a difference." That one is Ye Wugen, that one is the Tiger Skin Demon Monk, that one is the Hornless Dragon, that one is the Wood King, and that one is the Meat Oil True Monarch......"
Wu Ma Xin frowned when he heard this, but he remembered everything, it seems that the Lingzhi Fairy not only cured his arrow wounds, but also improved his facial features and six senses.
"Thank you, seniors. Wu Ma bowed deeply and said, "Dare to ask the seniors, there are so many masters here, what is the place?"
The river monster said with a smile: "This place is called Empty Mountain, it is an enchantment laid by your grandfather back then, isolated from the world, and only our group of old monsters depend on each other. ”
"Senior, why did my grandfather open up such a place?"
"Back then, your grandfather led the water demon to start a flood, raging and destroying the world, if it weren't for these barriers, I'm afraid we would have disappeared long ago. The river monster said this, and said no more, as if caught in the memory of the past.
Wu Ma Xin didn't dare to say anything to disturb, but just stood aside respectfully.
"Hahahaha. An old monk came from a distance laughing and clasped his palms together, "Master Wuma, how are you recovering?"
Wu Ma Xin recognized that this person was the tiger skin demon monk in the mouth of the river monster, and hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted: "There is a senior, I feel that I have been healed, but she is just a Lingzhi fairy, she ......."
"It doesn't matter, you see. The tiger-skinned demon monk said with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and several old men were carefully putting an old woman dressed in white into the square pit on the ground, and slowly lifting the soil with their hands.
"Fairy. Wu Ma Xin didn't expect that the Lingzhi Fairy would die in order to save himself, and ran madly towards the dirt pit, and the Iron Skin Sanren heard the wind and flicked his sleeves back, Wu Ma Xin was smashed upside down by this gust of wind and flew out, hitting the tree on the side, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The tiger-skinned demon monk walked a few steps quickly, picked up Wu Ma's heart, and said with a smile: "Why don't you listen to me, the fairy is not dead, Lingzhi needs to draw nutrients from the soil, so it is for her to rest and recuperate, and she can recover in less than three thousand six hundred and fifty sunrises and sunsets." ”
"I see, I was reckless. Wu Ma said ashamedly, and there was another chest pain.
"If you care, you will be chaotic, and those who become big things can't worry too much. The river monster said, "It's true that the Iron Skins are a little heavier, but he has no ill intentions, so he doesn't need to take it personally." ”
"Thank you seniors, you understand. Wu Ma said with a long heart.
The river monster smiled and pointed to the Gao brothers who were dragging a fat wild boar in the distance and said, "Come on, let's celebrate." ”
"Celebrating?"
"Yes, every time the Lingzhi Fairy is reborn, it will be twice as beautiful, and of course it is worth celebrating. ”
It was so subtle that Wu Maxin felt like his head was being shaken like a slurry that kept shaking.
The wild boar was quickly roasted, and more than twenty old men sat around, tearing meat and drinking, as if they were having a holiday, and Wu Ma Xin also sat in the middle, sandwiched between the Gao brothers and the river monster.
Gao Guotian tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Wu Ma Xin, and whispered: "You are all blind, we are not surprised." ”
"That is, they stay here all year round, and they are bored, and it is natural to be excited to see you as an outsider. Gao Potian also said.
The tiger skin demon monk picked up the wine bowl and said: "We saw the descendants of the Wuma family, but lost our beauty, this is the heavens warning us not to be greedy, the Buddha said, 'Emptiness is color, color is emptiness, don't say, don't say', haha, come, do!"
It is not taboo to drink wine and eat meat, and it is indeed a demon monk.
"!" the river monster chimed in.
The old man of the Black Tower took the wine bowl and drank it all, but his face was always dark: "The clansmen are suffering, but I am shrinking here beyond the reach of the whip, I am already anxious, and now I see that the descendants of the Wuma family are so weak, how can I see hope." ”
"Alas," Elder Wild Donkey sighed, "we can only suffocate to death in this empty mountain. ”
Several old men who were originally excited also fell silent.
Wu Ma Xin didn't know what they meant, as if he was their hope to get out of this place, but he killed their hope. He was indeed too weak, he didn't see any masters at all, and he was already embarrassed in the face of a few cannon fodder runes.
"Everything has its own providence, Wu Ma Pingchuan was incomparably powerful back then, but what happened to the result? Maybe he can do it instead, this is to create people. ”
"Providence," the old farmer who chopped firewood was the first to respond, "Let's gamble and set up a thousand catties." ”
The old men became excited again and shouted loudly.
"That's right, four or two thousand pounds. ”
"Yes, rats eat elephants. ”
"That's it, a wooden building. ”
Wu Ma's heart suddenly felt embarrassed, the wind in the mountains and fields was really strong, and he didn't even care that he was on the spot, alas, but in front of them, he was indeed as weak as an ant.
"Alright, give him one, mantis arm block the car. A shrill voice said.
"Haha, you drank too much of the Hornless Dragon. The river monster laughed.
"No, no," the shrill voice sounded again, "Are our old bones vegetarians, even a praying mantis, we have to let him raise his arms and smash the cart." ”
"That's right, the mantis arm blocks the car!"
"Haha, I'm going to block the car with my mantis arm!"
"Boy!" the Golden Bone Fairy grabbed the witch horse's heart and said, "From today onwards, you will be ours." If you can't learn, let the Gao brothers go out and catch a girl, leave you a seed, and then bury you alive. ”
The wild boar on the fire made a "sizzling" sound, and Wu Ma Xin felt that he was no different from it.
"Haha," the river monster laughed, "don't listen to him, come on, show your skills first." ”
"This ...... The younger generation does not dare. ”
"You earth dogs just have a lot of rules, what dare not, let you shine you will shine. "I'll count to three, and if you don't do it, I'll pinch you into powder." ”
Wu Ma Xin hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Then you will be offended." With that, he took a few steps back, flipped his hands, and the silver needles were immediately struck, and there were five in the upper, middle, and lower parts.
The iron man didn't move at all, stretched out his hand at will, and the silver needle was directly sucked into his palm: "Are there any other means?"
"Alas, you haven't even learned one ten-thousandth of the master's skills, and if you meet a master of Chixian Shenzhou in the future, you won't even have any bones left. The Golden Bone Immortal shook his head and sighed.
"The junior is fortunate enough to get the secret book of Master Yiku's from the medicine king's seniors, but it's just ...... I can't understand it at all, so I can't cultivate. ”
"Oh, show me. ”
The Golden Bone Immortal looked at Master Yiku's secret book and said regretfully: "You are really holding a golden bowl to eat, and you are tyrannical and ruined, it is too violent." ”
After sighing, the Golden Bone Immortal patted Wu Ma's heart heavily and said, "That's it, you can practice now, I'll watch from the side." ”
The river monster and the old farmer who chopped wood also surrounded him, and the monster shouted: "Alas, I said that the Golden Bone Fairy, finally came to a fun place, everything belongs to you, we have to come together." ”
"His small body, if you come together, it will be wasted, let's pick out five people, it's already very good that he can stand it. The Golden Bone Fairy said faintly.
The old monsters looked at each other, but they didn't object.
"Who do you choose?"
"Of course it's the old rules, rely on your ability!"
"Okay, come on. The old men rolled up their sleeves and looked eager to try. The Gao brothers are not qualified to play, and they stand far behind with Wu Ma Xin.
"I'll be the referee. The tiger-skinned demon monk's voice was like a bell, "Prepare for the field!"
