CHAPTER XXIX
This time in the sky, it is different from last night's heaven.
Ao Ling shook his head, without the slightest restraint, turned into a prototype, and in an instant, a huge black dog with a body comparable to a house was lying on the beach, and the black beast pupils refracted a subtle red under the reflection of the sun.
Three human children stood beside the giant black dog, reaching out in amazement and touching the black fur.
Katsura Kotaro directly buried his whole body in the warm and soft fluffy hair.
"The oil is smooth and shiny, and it looks very good!" Sakata Gintoki patted Ao Ling's head and gently rubbed it, his face full of pride.
…… You really should have a dog.
Yoshida Matsuyo, Ao Ling's true feeder, twitched Sakata Gintoki's head and turned to the other two students, "Go up and show you the sea." ”
"Does it hurt if I climb up with my hair?" Katsura Kotaro leaned in front of Ao Ling and asked.
Ao Ling shook his head, "No." ”
"Wow, so you can speak human words!" I've never seen Ao Ling speak with a prototype, only listening to his whining Katsura Kotaro with a face full of amazement, and then he looked at Ao Ling's paw under his head, lifted it up with great effort, and happily touched the meat pad.
Climb onto Ao Ling's back and look down at his friend's Takasugi Shinsuke: ......
Unpromising.
"I'm not going to go on my back, I'm going to sit on my paws!" Katsura Kotaro hugged Ao Ling's left front leg tightly.
Yoshida Matsuyo sat on top of Ao Ling's head, glanced back at Takasugi Shinsuke and the lump of natural rolls rolling on Ao Ling's back, and patted Ao Ling's head, "Let's go, you can fly as much as you want." ”
Ao Ling stood up, glanced at Katsura Kotaro who was very consciously sitting on his paw and hugged his left front leg, and after taking two steps to make sure that no one would be thrown off by him and falling into the water, he took off directly into the air.
It was early afternoon, the sea breeze was dyed with a hint of warmth by the blazing sun, and in order to avoid causing any commotion, Ao Ling bypassed the direction of the fishing village in the distance and rushed towards the vast ocean.
Ao Ling had never seen such a wide surface of water—even in the Yellow Sea, he had never seen a sea of trees that was continuous and could set off green waves when the wind blew.
He was too weak before, so weak that he couldn't even master floating.
But after a short time, although he is not necessarily very powerful now, at least he has enough ability to protect himself.
"It's beautiful...... Katsura Kotaro lowered his eyes as he looked down at the sea below, which showed different shades of blue and green.
The fish are constantly jumping out of the sea and making beautiful waves, their scales shining brightly in the sun.
The school of fish was followed by a flock of seagulls, chirping and swooping down from time to time, grabbing a fish and swallowing it on its head.
Ao Ling looked greedy, and rushed over directly and opened his mouth, and ate several in one bite.
Sakata Gintoki patted off the bird feathers that fell on his body, "What should I do if I eat a bad stomach?" ”
"No, it won't." Ao Ling had never had any indigestion, he looked at the calm sea, and suddenly asked, "What is on the other side of the sea?" ”
"That's another empire, far, far away from here." Sakata Gintoki rubbed against Ao Ling's back and looked at the ocean below, "The ocean is the most extensive existence in this world, and the legend extends all the way to the sky and the boundary of the world." ”
When Takasugi Shinsuke heard this, he glanced at Sakata Ginshi, and said in his heart that now the world map is almost perfect, and this legend is really just a legend.
However, he still didn't expose Sakata Gintoki, for this classmate who has always been lazy, Takasugi Shinsuke generally slandered more than bluntly exposed.
It's a kind of alternative tolerance and attention - just kidding, he just wants to see how Sakata Gintoki can break around.
"Actually, it's a lot bigger than the sea." Yoshida Songyang sat on Ao Ling's head in a leisurely manner, his hands in his sleeves, squinting slightly with a shallow smile, "For example, the sky, for example, the universe." ”
Ao Ling moved his gaze, but no matter how he moved, he couldn't see Sakata Gintoki on his back.
I don't know what kind of expression Yinshi will have when he is slapped in the face by the teacher, Ao Ling thought.
The answer is that there is no expression at all, and Takasugi Jinsuke looked at Sakata Gintoki, who climbed back on Ao Ling's back, lying on his back and closing his eyes as if he was about to sleep like this, and he wanted to kick him into the sea to feed the sharks.
is such a stinky little ghost who is too lazy every day to be praised so much by Teacher Songyang!?
Takasugi Shinsuke was not convinced.
"Ling, you should go to the universe and take a look." Yoshida Matsuyo suddenly spoke, "The earth is not suitable for your growth. ”
"Hmm." Ao Ling responded, and calculated in his heart, "Wait a few more decades, and I'll go and see." ”
Why wait for decades, Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro are not very clear, but Sakata Gintoki and Yoshida Matsuyo are very clear.
This youkai has a bond here, and wants to stay on Earth and wait until Yoshida Matsuyo and Sakata Gintoki die before embarking on a journey.
Sakata Gintoki opened his eyes slightly, as if he had been stabbed by the sun, and raised his arm to his face, covering his eyes.
Yoshida Matsuyo was also silent for a long time before he sighed lightly, "If you are on Earth, you can't get out of your childhood for decades. ”
"Isn't there a night rabbit on Earth?" Ao Ling didn't say that he could continue to drink Yoshida Matsuyo's blood, and he also felt that it was not a problem to rely on the teacher all the time.
Regarding how to improve his strength, Ao Ling still has some ideas.
He can also find a way to catch a few high-level monsters to eat, and even if the strength is enough, he can go and tear a few night rabbits to try.
"There are generally no night rabbits on Earth." Yoshida Matsuyo shook his head, not going to go any deeper into this topic, he looked around, caught a glimpse of a small black dot on the horizon not far away, and patted Ao Ling's head, "Turn around, don't go to the west." ”
"Huh?"
"Legend has it that there is an undersea dragon palace in the west, where the dragon god sits in charge." Yoshida Songyang smiled nonsense, "You are a little monster, maybe you will be accepted as a divine envoy directly by the gods." ”
Ao Ling was stunned, "What is the divine envoy?" ”
"He is a servant of the gods." Yoshida Matsuyo replied extremely crisply.
No, the messenger of the gods is clearly a messenger of the gods...... Takasugi Shinsuke glanced at the foolish teacher Matsuyo, and listened to the rejection of this identity by Ao Ling, who was completely fooled, and finally chose to be like Sakata Gintoki, close his eyes to cover the dazzling sunlight, and pretend that he had fallen asleep.
They wandered around the sea for an afternoon, and finally found a small island, where Ao Ling caught a few big fish, had a picnic happily on this small island, and finally returned to his residence with the gorgeous sunset on his back.
Sakata Gintoki and Takasugi Jinsuke slept all afternoon, and after cleaning up the bedding that was hanging in the yard and the remaining things that had not had time to tidy up in the morning, they were still energetic and practicing knives in the yard.
Katsura Kotaro sat on the side dozing off with Ao Ling, who had turned into a little milk dog, holding Ao Ling's front paws with both hands, even in a daze, he always pinched the soft meat pad intentionally or unintentionally.
The room lit up with a warm orange and yellow light.
Ao Ling's ears on the top of his head twitched, and he turned his head to look at Yoshida Matsuyo, who was lighting the lamp in the room and looking at the parchment, and then licked his paws, listening to the sound of Sakata Gintoki and Takasugi Shinsuke waving their knives, and his head fell and he dozed off.
……
Late at night.
Ao Ling opened his eyes and looked at Yoshida Songyang, who quietly walked out of the courtyard with the back of his neck, his eyes swept over the knife hanging from Yoshida Songyang's waist, licked the tip of his wet nose, and stared at Yoshida Songyang with black eyes without blinking.
It wasn't until they had walked far away that Yoshida Matsuyo put Ao Ling down and pulled out the parchment that he had read countless times.
"The teacher will take you to find the treasure." Yoshida Matsuyo patted Ao Ling's head, "Get bigger." ”
Ao Ling replied, and after making his body bigger, Yoshida Matsuyo jumped up easily—completely different from the action of climbing up with his hands and feet in front of the three students during the day.
As if he had lost some of the traction of gravity, he easily jumped onto Ao Ling's back, which was about three meters high.
It's as light as a cat on a tightrope.
Ao Ling was accustomed to this, and when Yoshida Matsuyo taught him swordsmanship, his body style, steps, and momentum and angle when swinging his sword were completely opposite to the image he usually showed.
Regarding the strange behavior of this big monster, Ao Ling didn't ask about it.
But Yoshida Matsuyo was reluctant to say it, and also warned him to let him talk less and listen more, and it was better to listen quietly than to get to the bottom of it, so as not to annoy people.
In the face of this big monster who took care of him a lot and accepted him as a disciple, Ao Ling was very convinced, so whatever Yoshida Matsuyo taught him, he listened to and believed, and Yoshida Matsuyo's teachings and admonitions were clearly remembered by him.
So much so that Ao Ling doesn't seem to know much about this person now, except for knowing that Yoshida Matsuyo is a big monster who mixes very well in the human world.
For these things, Yoshida Songyang didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't want him to ask, so Ao Ling only listened to Yoshida Songyang when he was willing to say it, and obediently didn't ask.
"Go west." Matsuyo Yoshida said.
Ao Ling stood up and was stunned, "You said there were gods there this afternoon......
"Liar." Yoshida Matsuyo greeted the sea breeze at night and said with a smile, "The teacher is also a man with a lot of secrets." ”
Ao Ling glanced at the courtyard in the distance, and rose directly into the air, not caring about whether the human body could withstand it as much as during the day, and turned on the full horsepower, but in just two or three minutes, he glimpsed the small black spot that Yoshida Matsuyo saw in the afternoon.
"Are there really no gods?" Ao Ling is still a little cowardly, for him, the gods are the same existence as those big monsters who are malicious to him and stronger than him.
Such an existence will drive the youkai who are weaker than themselves as slaves.
"If you're a god, I guess it exists, but there's certainly not one here." Yoshida Matsuyo patted Ao Ling's head soothingly, "After all, before I met Ah Ling, I never believed in the existence of monsters." ”
Ao Ling swayed towards the small island and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you believe it?" Teacher, aren't you? ”
Yoshida Matsuyo just smiled and didn't speak.
He really can't be called a monster, and in fact, the celestial people are not the monsters in Ao Ling's cognition.
It's just that Ao Ling has always believed in this, and he is not ready to correct this little monster's worldview, and it won't affect anything anyway.
After getting along for so long, Yoshida Matsuyo was very sure that Ao Ling should be a little cub who accidentally left the hermitage of the youkai, ignorant, pure, and ignorant of the outside world.
He was lucky enough to pick up this little monster.
Yoshida Matsuyo watched Ao Ling land, opened the parchment and looked around against the moonlight, then beckoned to Ao Ling, pointing to his feet, "Dig." ”
Ao Ling, who was sent by his own teacher, snorted and dug out a huge deep pit, and then touched a very hard and cold thing.
Carefully sweeping away the sand and dirt on it, revealing a heavily rusted lock and a thick-looking piece of iron.
- Looks like the entrance to a cellar.
He turned his head to look at Yoshida Matsuyo.
Both of them don't need much light to be able to see at night, and when Yoshida Matsuyo stopped Ao Ling's movements, he jumped directly into the deep pit, slashed the iron cable with his sword, and directly opened the entrance that only allowed one person to pass through.
A smell that had been precipitated after the space had been closed for a long time came straight to him, Ao Ling turned into a human form and frowned, "What's inside?" ”
"It's the treasure of the Dragon King's Palace." Matsuyo Yoshida said, stepping down the stairs.
Ao Ling squatted on it and hesitated, then jumped down as well.
When he walked down a few flights of stairs and saw the whole cellar in the darkness, his steps froze.
- This is a huge armory.
