Chapter 434: Learning Illusion
"Grandpa! Grandpa is back!" Brother Ruthless immediately woke up excitedly, and he tore off the jar that was fastened to his head and jumped out of the earth.
"No one ......" There is no one else in the cave except himself, and the wind outside the cave is still there, and there is no trace of anyone coming at all.
"Grandpa, are you back? Grandpa...... Mr. Bai...... Was that you? I was under the jar...... Grandpa ......" Brother Ruthless ran to the outside of the cave and yelled at the woods for a while, but no one responded to him except Lin Tao.
"Did I hear it wrong?" he scratched his head while talking to himself, and shook his hand again in a daze and went back to sleep, "I obviously heard Mr. Bai and my grandfather talking just now...... Don't...... It was because I slept on the ground on the first day that I had this strange dream...... It shouldn't be my grandfather, how can someone as open-minded as my grandfather sigh......"
When Brother Ruthless walked back to the cave to sleep, two old men appeared under a tall ginkgo tree in the woods, they looked at each other, and sighed at the same time, the clouds in the sky flowed, and one of them covered the moon, and when the sky and earth suddenly darkened, the two old men disappeared......
Day 2, Day 3...... As the days passed, Brother Ruthless studied harder and harder, and Bai Bizhu's attitude became more kind and serious. When he stopped deliberately making things difficult, Brother Ruthless quickly absorbed the knowledge he had learned in the past with his intelligence and understanding.
"Sir......" When Bai Bizhu finished his day's lessons and was about to leave as usual, Brother Ruthless stopped him.
Bai Bizhu has always been unsmiling, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Sir," said Brother Ruthless, plucking up the courage to ask, "Do you know when my grandfather will be back?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"No, it's nothing, I dreamed of my grandfather the day before yesterday, so I just asked. Brother Ruthless was afraid of Bai Bizhu in his heart, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
"I don't know, I'll come back when it's time to come back. Bai Bizhu coldly shook off a sentence and turned to leave.
"Doesn't this mean asking in vain...... Brother Ruthless stuck out his tongue in the direction where Bai Bizhu disappeared, pouting, "He also said that he was a friend of his grandfather, he had a straight face all day long, and he didn't even have half of his grandfather's harmony." ”
Brother Ruthless lay on his back on the ground bored, grabbed a grass leaf and bit it in his mouth, pillowed his head with his hands, and looked at the blue sky and the fluttering white clouds: "Why doesn't Grandpa come back soon, I still want to learn illusions and show off to him......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of "bang" and "bang" from the bushes, and Brother Ruthless thought it was some kind of beast, so he immediately jumped up and made an attack posture.
"Ahh
"Donkey!" Brother Ruthless excitedly pointed at the animal and shouted, "I know you, you are a donkey!"
"What's wrong with the donkey?" a strange question came from the donkey's direction.
"Talking donkey!donkey demon!" Brother Ruthless corrected his answer.
"Who's a youkai? you're a youkai!" the voice became angry, and a child stepped out of the bushes behind the donkey. He was dark-skinned, wore a hat on his head, and held a whip in his hand.
"A person!" exclaimed Brother Ruthless in surprise.
"You're only a judge!" The kid saw that Brother Ruthless was a monster, so he didn't dare to come over for a while, but just stood not far away, pulling his neck and shouting.
"Then be alone......" Brother Ruthless immediately corrected, he looked at the child curiously, "Man, what are you doing? Is this donkey your prey? Give me a little to eat, will I send you a pheasant?"
He licked his lips as he spoke, and there was a great advantage on the ground, that is, the variety of food was much more abundant than that underground, and he really wanted to taste what it was like to have freshly slaughtered donkey meat.
"What kind of donkey, it's a donkey, can you speak? You don't want to eat our donkey! Our whole family is counting on it to grind!" the child roared and flashed his whip, "Don't come here, or I'm welcome!"
In the country of Qingqiu, humans and youkai are used to living together, and they are not afraid of each other, this kid is obviously not very afraid of Brother Ruthless, and he is ready to fight this monster who only wants to eat his donkey for 300 rounds.
"People are so stingy. Brother Ruthless pursed his lips and sat under a ginkgo tree to cook pheasant soup and tea to roast a wild wolf, but he still glanced at the donkey a few more times unwillingly.
The child led the donkey around the woods a few times, and it seemed that he was lost, and when he heard a few tiger roars in the distance, he immediately trembled with fright, and leaned towards the ruthless brother without obeying the call: "Hey, big brother monster, do you know how to go down the mountain?"
"I don't know, I haven't gone down the mountain," Brother Ruthless replied honestly, "why don't you fly down?"
"Fly?"
Brother ruthless made a flap of his wings to demonstrate.
"I'm not a monster, how can I fly?" the child scratched his head, "We humans can't fly." ”
"Whoever said it, my grandfather will fly. ”
"Your grandfather is a monster!"
"He's human. ”
"Liar, it's impossible, only youkai can fly," the child said, looking at the claws, tail, and red eyes of the ruthless brother, "I know you're a monster!"
"I also think you're a co-worker!, too, and you look like a co-worker!" Brother Ruthless also replied.
"Co-work...... It's a kind of monster, right? I've seen it, it's beautiful and powerful, if only I could be like them. "The human child is full of longing for the power of youkai.
"You actually imagine co-workers!" Brother Ruthless swallowed his saliva and looked at his child in disbelief, "Co-workers are the most shameless, bad, cruel, and despicable...... What are you doing like them?"
"Who said that?" the child gave him a blank look, "The co-workers I have seen are obviously very kind, and they also help Aunt Lin treat her injuries, and they are also very fair when doing business, and the people in our village like them very much!"
"You will be cheated, stolen, and robbed by co-workers!"
"I don't believe you!" the child looked at Brother Ruthless, "People have always been kind to us, but you want to eat my donkey!"
"I haven't eaten again," Brother Ruthless pulled a wild wolf leg and stuffed it in his hand, "Come, give it to you, I'm also very good to you, right? Don't trust Gonggong in the future." “
The child generously ate the roasted wolf of the ruthless brother, drank a few bowls of pheasant soup, and drank his tea, before wiping his mouth and saying, "I still believe in Gonggong, and you won't take me down the mountain." “
"You actually cheat to eat and drink!" Brother Ruthless's eyes widened, humans are really cunning, fortunately my grandfather is not like this.
"You're not human! You don't smell the same as your grandfather......!" He suddenly remembered something, sniffed hard, suddenly pointed at the child and jumped up, he pulled the child's ears and mouth hard to check, "Tell me, what have you changed!"
"Ahh
"You're not human!" Brother Ruthless stared at him.
"You're not human!" the child instinctively took this as an insult.
"Of course I'm not!" Brother Ruthless showed him his paws, "Tell me!"
"I'm human!"
"It's not!"
"I don't think I'm human!"
"Taste!"
The child was so frightened that he rushed out of the way and hid behind the donkey: "What do you want to do? What do you mean? Let me tell you, if you eat me, my mother will not let you go!"
"Who's going to eat you! I mean the smell, you're so far from my grandfather's! so you're not human at all!"
"Your grandfather is not human! He is a monster like you!"
"My grandfather is human!"
"No! he must look like you. ”
"He's a man!"
“……”
Just as Brother Ruthless and the human child were arguing without conclusion, a sparkling fire appeared on the hillside, and the voices of people were heard: "Li'er, Li'er......"
"Li'er...... Where are you?"
"Li'er ......"
"I'm calling you. "Brother Ruthless pushed the donkey as if nothing had happened.
"It's calling me!" the human child stomped his feet angrily, "I'm called Li'er, it's called Donkey!"
The ruthless brother scratched his head in confusion.
"Dad, mother, third uncle, fifth aunt, second brother...... I'm here!"
With a wave of his hand, Brother Ruthless used a spell that sent Li'er's voice out with the wind, reaching the ears of those holding torches.
"Li'er...... My son......"
A large group of people came here and surrounded Li'er and the donkey, and several of the women even cried, and Li'er pointed to the crowd of people about how she chased the frightened donkey into the mountains and forests, how she got lost, and how she met this monster.
"He also gave me wild wolves and pheasants, but he said he wasn't a monster!" he introduced Brother Ruthless to everyone.
"Thank you, Mr. Yokai, for taking care of the children in our village. A man who looked like a leader came up and saluted Brother Ruthless.
Brother Ruthless hurriedly returned the salute, and it was the first time in his life that he was called "Mr.". It was the first time he had dealt with so many humans, and he wanted to make a good impression on them, after all, they were his grandfather's kind.
"You are so polite, we are all people of this land, and it is right to help each other. Brother Ruthless returned the salute to the man very politely.
Everyone stepped forward one after another and said a lot of words of gratitude to Brother Ruthless, one of the men insisted on inviting Brother Ruthless to the village to entertain him, and after Brother Ruthless refused, he had to give the donkey named Li'er to Brother Ruthless.
Although Brother Ruthless was still salivating at the donkey just now, he was embarrassed to ask for it now, so he pushed it again and again, and the humans led the donkey to leave.
"By the way," Brother Ruthless remembered one more thing, and shouted to stop the humans, "Your village usually trades with co-workers, right?"
The atmosphere in the crowd immediately became solemn, and it was a long time before a human replied, "Yes." ”
"I think you are all good people, so I want to remind you that Gonggong is a terrible and cruel monster, you must not be deceived by them!"
Humans, you look at me, I look at you, and laugh together.
"By the way, you're ...... Thank you for the reminder, but for us, co-workers are good friends and trading partners, and we also treat your people as good friends. I beg your pardon for not participating in comments about each other between your two races. The chief-like man saluted Brother Ruthless again, and then walked away with his people.
"What do you mean?" Brother Ruthless really didn't understand, he sniffed the smell left by the humans again, how strange, how could their smell not be human?
"Grandpa will come back and ask him, maybe? Maybe it's a special breed, one day, two days, three days......" he began to snap his fingers, "why hasn't Grandpa come back?"
Brother Ruthless held his breath and watched Bai Bizhu swing his sword and stab at the place where he stood. Bai Bizhu's sword was fast and ruthless, and there was a sound of wind hanging under the sword, and it went straight to Brother Ruthless's chest.
Not to mention that Brother Ruthless can't use "dodge" to deal with this attack, even if he is really allowed to hide, he will definitely not be able to dodge this move with his own skills, so Brother Ruthless closed his eyes, chanted the spell of illusion, and the long sword passed through his chest, and his body involuntarily trembled.
When Brother Ruthless used the illusion, of course Bai Bizhu couldn't see all this, he put away his sword and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you did it." ”
