Hua Jiuxi and Xiang Ling came to an extremely steep place on the mountain, this place was surrounded by rocks, and the center was the shape of a round platform, which was also the only way to enter the main body of the cave. It was here that Hua Jiuxi felt two more kinds of demonic power.

One is very strong and powerful, the other is weak and soft.

Xiang Ling had already guessed that the huge demonic power came from her companion Jiaqin, but the other demonic power did not know who it was.

Hua Jiuxi hid his figure behind a stone more than one person high, turned his head and said to Xiang Ling: "I guess that Brother Jiaqin's kind of taciturn person is 'a minion in his belly', so we rushed up to disturb him, afraid that he would be unhappy - Xiang Ling, what do you say?" ”

What he meant by this was obviously to throw the pot to Xiang Ling, after all, the sky fell and it was high to resist, and a girl like Xiang Ling provoked Jiaqin, so the other party was embarrassed to even be angry.

Of course, Xiang Ling saw through these little tricks at once, and said bluntly: "Sir, you are so powerful in Qi Magic, don't you see that the demonic power is scattered, so he is neither sitting in meditation nor practicing now." It's supposed to be in a daze or something - besides, it's all about work, people, and you have to know the general situation. ”

"yes, yes, the dragon is bigger than the leopard." Hua Jiuxi's mouth was unforgiving, but his steps were cringe.

Xiang Ling led him through a number of rocks and came to the round platform.

Contrary to Hua Jiuxi's imagination, Jiaqin was not wearing that bulky fur coat now—he was now wearing a gray cloth gown, and his hair was not the unkempt appearance he had before. After combing it like this, Hua Jiuxi found that he was actually a rare handsome guy - at least the kind of heroism on his face was difficult for ordinary men to compare.

That kind of spirit, extremely not serious, not angry, but I feel very *, and at the same time there must be a little bit of "birth" flavor. Perhaps this is the role of practicing Buddhism.

And it seems that the age he presents is much younger than Hua Jiuxi's early senses. From a man in his thirties, he suddenly became a young man in his twenties. It's just that the muscles on the chest and abdomen that can be indented through the cheongsam are not quite commensurate here.

Jiaqin is now sitting on a flat rock in a semi-seated state, with one hand on his knees and the other holding an ordinary bouquet of flowers.

The bouquet was trembling in the breeze, and beside the bouquet was a little girl pouting.

The little girl was a little scared when she saw someone coming, so she quietly walked behind Jiaqin.

Hua Jiuxi glanced at the little girl, she was about six or seven years old, with blonde hair, and no one seemed to have a braid or anything for her. The facial features are cute, especially the eyes are full of aura. The girl's dress is also too casual - she is wearing Hua Jiuxi's clothes when she was a child, which has been around for more than ten years.

Seeing this, Hua Jiuxi's face turned red with embarrassment.

"It seems that what Zhan Po said before is true—they are really only women." Xiang Ling said softly to Hua Jiuxi.

Hua Jiuxi thought of where such a little girl came out, it turned out to be the little beast they had fostered at the Worm Heaven before. According to the information previously available and what Zhan Po said, in a very short period of time, this little beast was able to transform into a human form.

"So the corpse of the fat man I saw earlier - what a disguise, right?" Hua Jiuxi said, some scenes flashed in his mind that made him feel uncomfortable.

Xiang Ling nodded: "But if you are an expert like you, you are blinded - then the other party's methods are very good." ”

"So what? In the end, he still didn't save his life—" Hua Jiuxi said, "so it's better to learn some killing techniques to be practical." ”

Xiang Ling rarely denied Hua Jiuxi's words, she said: "No, the reason why that sandalwood beast was easily captured and killed is not because he can't do it himself. It's because his social connections are so simple that when something happens to him, no one knows about it, and no one comes to save him. Therefore, the more interests a person is involved, the more likely he is to save his life. ”

Hua Jiuxi himself liked this kind of repeated cross-examination dialogue, and immediately retorted: "It's not all right, you see those who know too many secrets - aren't they all killed by their own people?" ”

The two of them actually started arguing like no one else, Jia Qin had already heard it, he smiled slightly, thinking that this was really a pair of living treasures. He straightened up and jumped off the rock.

Jiaqin is not used to taking the initiative to greet people, Xiangling and Hua Jiuxi saw that the other party noticed him, and immediately stopped arguing and greeted Jiaqin separately.

Jiaqin replied and said, "But I'm sorry - you asked me to bring in some monks who can break the barrier, but I couldn't finish it...... Shame on you! His attitude was very sincere, and he bowed to the two of them slightly.

"Oh yes." Hua Jiuxi stopped Jiaqin with a soft voice, and stopped at the point.

"Fortunately, the problem has been solved." Xiang Ling stood aside and said, "That barrier has been broken by the little ones from the inside. And he even captured one of the enemy's young generals alive - something that even we adults couldn't do. ”

Xiang Ling praised Xie Xiaodi and the others a few words, and continued: "Big brother knows why we came in a hurry suddenly? ”

Jiaqin's eyes immediately widened, and he said, "It's not right to say 'visit', after all, I'm a guest here—the host is still an old man." ”

This was Xiang Ling's speechlessness for a while, so he saw Hua Jiuxi nodding his head when Jiaqin spoke.

"By the way, brother, how do you get along with my senior brother?" Hua Jiuxi took over and asked Jiaqin like this, he naturally had no bottom in his heart about what kind of answer he would get.

Jiaqin thought for a moment and said, "I said three words—and then I was gone." I'm in this cave, I'm sitting in meditation or something, and when I'm thirsty, I'll pick a few wild fruits. The old man was bent on fiddling with his insects, birds, flowers and trees, and the two of us really didn't have much communication. ”

Hua Jiuxi nodded, this was normal, and pointed to the little girl and asked, "Is this our Zhantan Beast?" ”

Jia Qin nodded and said, "That's right, this animal seems to be able to transform into a human form without cultivation. Within two days of you leaving, she'd grown this big, but since then, the rate of growth has come to a near standstill - it seems to be in sync with a normal human child. In addition to providing him with food and clothing, the old man let the child run around the mountains......"

Hua Jiuxi frowned and said, "What kind of line is this?" The old man didn't care. ”

Only Hua Jiuxi could criticize this, and the other two people should not have heard it. Jiaqin continued: "I kept an eye on her to prevent the enemy from chasing her—but I never looked after a child. But this little girl is actually very obedient. ”

The little girl saw that two adults seemed to be talking about herself, so she quietly leaned over and listened. When she saw that the pair of brothers and sisters were not fierce at all, they were much kinder than the strange old man, so she let down her guard a lot.

"Hu Su, is this your name?" Xiang Ling bowed down and asked the little girl in a low voice.

The little girl nodded.

"I started it." Xiang Ling said.

The little girl didn't react in any particular way when she heard this, but said, "Thank you, sister." ”

Hua Jiuxi listened to it with a burst of curiosity, so she asked, "Don't you ask about your parents and other things?" ”

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't—what do you ask?" People like us are born naturally from heaven and earth, and there is no mother. ”

This seems to be some kind of self-contained memory and knowledge, Hua Jiuxi was impressed for a while, and continued to ask: "Then what do you know what you were born for?" ”

"To make incense for the Buddha." Hu Su replied without thinking, "Big brother told me a lot of stories about Duofo—"

Xiang Ling couldn't see that this rough man was a good hand at coaxing children, so he glanced at Jiaqin through his glasses. Jiaqin's face was a little unnatural - this kind of period that does not conform to his design, it is best not to publicize it to the public.

"Straight to the point, man." Hua Jiuxi said, "The reason why we returned to this mountain is because—"

"The big bird." Jiaqin spoke up in advance.

Hua Jiuxi was startled, and immediately nodded, it seemed that Jiaqin had already encountered the strange bird.

"When you came to me before, you said that a big bird suddenly dropped an enchantment at the school—but I didn't think I'd meet it on this hill soon." Jiaqin's tone was very long—as soon as Hua Jiuxi heard it, there was a story in it.

"I'm going to pour a few cups of tea, and we'll sit down and talk slowly." He left alone, giving Jiaqin some time to organize the language.

After the footsteps of Hua Jiuxi disappeared.

"Is there a war?" Xiang Ling asked softly.

"Hmm."

"Not hurt?"

"Obviously."

When Hua Jiuxi came back with tea, he saw that Xiang Ling and Jiaqin were still talking to each other, every word you say to me, every sentence is just a few words. However, it can be seen that the expressions of the two are relaxed when they talk - the relationship between the two of them seems to be very harmonious.

But Hua Jiuxi was embarrassed to ask what was going on.

Even if Hua Jiuxi suddenly appeared, the two did not feel anything unnatural, but directly continued to include each other in the conversation.

Jiaqin placed the teacup on one of his stone tables (there are flat stone platforms here and there that can be used as stone tables) and sat down with Hua Jiuxi.

Xiang Ling hugged Hu Su on his lap, and Hu Su did not have a unhappy expression.

"Ah, sister, the scent of you—it's real." The little girl looked up at Xiang Ling and said, her eyes showing an expression like that of an ordinary greedy child seeing candy.

"Is there any fake?" Xiang Ling asked rhetorically.

Hu Su shook his head slightly and said, "Of course, some perfumes are made with impurities of water and very inferior flowers, which are fake." Sister, the fragrance on your body is not. ”

"So can you guess how many herbs are in there?" Xiang Ling asked her.

Hua Jiuxi also listened with his ears, because although he knew that Xiangling's perfume used fifty-three kinds of raw materials, he didn't know the specific name of each one, and he had the opportunity to learn about it.

Hu Su sniffed it twice, and blurted out a string of vanilla names, some of which Hua Jiuxi had heard of, and some of which he had not heard.

There were one or two names among them, and Hu Su hesitated for a moment. It can be seen that she is indeed distinguishing these scents by herself, rather than reciting them from memory.

When Hu Su finished saying these fifty-three names, even people like Xiang Ling, who rarely made a fuss, couldn't help but praise her: "Amazing, where did you know the names of these vanilla?" Can you remember it as soon as you are born? ”

Hu Su smiled: "Yes, after I learned to speak, the names of these herbs came out of my head one by one." ”

It's just that she was born for too short a time, and she didn't swallow much incense, so the Titian on her body is still not very strong.

"Because of this endowment, I will be targeted by the enemy." Jiaqin said.

Hua Jiuxi patted his head, naturally knowing what Jiaqin meant. Is there anything important to the Oriental monsters in this mountain, just a lonely old man—they have come so tirelessly, naturally for this sandalwood beast.

"Brother Jiaqin, you can start talking about the ins and outs of this matter." Hua Jiuxi said earnestly.

Jiaqin nodded: "After I went to the Snow Mountain to invite someone, I went straight back to my home, and there was nothing unusual along the way-"
