254 Receiving servants
"......" Chu Qiao was speechless, this is another public case that cannot be recovered!" Since you have been dead for hundreds of years, presumably the person who harmed you in the first place is also dead, so you don't want to be obsessed with this matter anymore, if you keep harboring hatred from your previous life, I'm afraid it will be useless for you to cultivate for another five hundred years! ”
"Nope! The wicked man is not dead! Jin Toad's voice became excited, "He is also a cultivator, it was he who coveted the spiritual weapon given to me by the immortal of Xuanji Pavilion, which seduced my wife and killed me, he got my spiritual weapon, he must have cultivated into a Yuan Baby, and now maybe he is still happy there!" And I can only hide under this mud and never see the light of day! How can I not hate?! ”
"You can feel it, with my current strength, I'm afraid there is no way to help you!" Chu Qiao said helplessly, "Even if that person is still alive, I don't know how strong my strength is now, I'm sorry, I can't help!" ”
"Shangxian!" Jin Toad pleaded again, "I've waited for more than five hundred years to wait for you, you can't ignore me!" ”
“……”
Nima, how familiar is this sentence? I've been waiting for my sister for 500 years...... Listen to it! And it was waited for by a toad for 500 years...... It seems that Tang Seng was lucky at the beginning, he was waited for by a monkey for five hundred years, and he was a powerful monkey! How did you become a ...... when you came to yourself? What about the toad?
This painful life!
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Chu Qiao spread his hands.
"You...... Take me out of here! Jin Toad's blood-colored eyes turned very pure red at this moment, like two rubies, and the place on his back that was smashed by Chu Qiao had also recovered, and he was full of golden light, but he was also ...... It's not that ugly.
"And then?" Chu Qiao looked at Jin Toad, still with a look of disgust. With a toad, it's always a loss of face, right?
"Uh...... Let me follow the immortals and cultivate together! I'll be your spirit animal! If you can follow the right path, then I can follow you on the right path too! Jin Toad's ruby eyes sparkled with a look of hope.
It seems that it still wants to cultivate the righteous path, otherwise, it would not have persisted for five hundred years, let alone ask Chu Qiao for ten drops of spiritual blood.
"You...... It's ugly. Although Chu Qiao was very reluctant to attack Jin Toad, she still couldn't help but say it, "Besides, I already have a psychic phantom beast all the time, and I don't need to get another spirit beast." ”
Jin Toad seemed to be very shocked, and his ruby eyes were full of loss, "Am I ugly?" The immortals don't want me to be your spirit beast, so let me be your slave! You be my master and let me follow you! I really don't want to stay here any longer! I will be absolutely loyal to you! I swear by the blood of my soul! ”
Hearing Jin Toad talk about this, Chu Qiao couldn't help but feel a little moved, "That's ...... Can you look a little better, can't you? You're so big and so ugly, taking you out will really make me lose face! ”
Jin Toad nodded hurriedly, "As long as the immortal accepts the villain, the villain can be sent by the immortal!" ”
"Then you make a blood oath first!" Chu Qiao hurriedly said.
Jin Toad didn't hesitate, his mouth opened, and a drop of essence blood as clear as red crystal spit out, suspended in front of Chu Qiao.
"This ...... Do you need me to make a blood pact with you? "Chu Qiao is very distressed about his own blood! Except for Mo Zixi's deception of a drop of his own blood, and the fact that he wasted a drop of blood when Jiu Cake made a blood contract with him, Chu Qiao really didn't want to give a drop of blood to the guy in front of him.
At least, not now!
"No, master! After the villain makes a blood oath, you take away the villain's essence blood, and you can be regarded as accepting the villain! Jin Toad was afraid that Chu Qiao would regret it, so he had already changed his words in advance, and said very carefully, "Master, believe the villain, this drop of essence blood also contains the soul power of the villain, if the villain dares to betray you, you only need to destroy this drop of essence blood, and the villain will be eaten by the blood oath and be wiped out immediately!" ”
"So ruthless? ......" Chu Qiao said in his heart, it would be good to accept such a loyal thug, "Okay, you swear!" ”
"The golden toad hereby swears that he will always be loyal to his master, live forever, and cannot rebel, if he violates this oath, he will be wiped out, and he will not be reborn forever!" The golden toad's voice sounded again, and the words fell, and a red light enveloped it and the drop of essence blood like red crystal, Chu Qiao knew that it was a symbol of the blood oath that had been fulfilled.
"Okay...... You can follow me in the future. Chu Qiao's heart moved, and the drop of Jin Toad's essence blood disappeared into the ring on Chu Qiao's finger.
The golden toad immediately screamed happily twice, and its body quickly became smaller again, and in the blink of an eye, it became the size of a matchbox.
"Well, that's what it looks like...... Much cuter. Chu Qiao nodded.
Jin Toad seemed to be happy because of Chu Qiao's praise, and as soon as he kicked his foot, he bounced to Chu Qiao, and his voice was not so dull, "Master, take me away!" ”
Chu Qiao spread out his palm, and the golden toad jumped into Chu Qiao's palm, and Chu Qiao said to the golden toad, "If you follow me, I will promise you, no matter what realm I cultivate in the future, I will take you to cultivate together, and I will not leave you." ”
Jin Toad was stunned, and his ruby-like eyes finally showed a touch of emotion, "Thank you...... Master. ”
"Alright, let's go!" Chu Qiao casually put the golden toad in his backpack, and the golden toad poked his head out, "Master, the road is not easy to walk, let me come!" ”
As soon as Jin Toad's words fell, Chu Qiao found that not only did the mud under his feet begin to solidify, but the solidified soil also spread out, as if it had become a road.
The blue wolf and the others also came over, but they didn't dare to get close to Chu Qiao and Yun Mo.
If before, they just felt that Chu Qiao had some abilities that ordinary people didn't have, then now, they found that Chu Qiao and them were not from the same world at all! Chu Qiao is really the legendary god!
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Qiao smiled and put away the phantom feather, and the aura on his body dimmed at the same time, standing there indifferently, becoming the girl next door again.
"Chu Qiao, psychic, what kind of existence is it?" The blue wolf finally asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Psychic?" Chu Qiao smiled, "Actually, it's also human." Don't think of us as monsters or gods. It's just that we can see things that ordinary people can't see, and there are some powers in our bodies that ordinary people don't have, there are many layers in this world, not every ordinary person can come into contact with them, and there are many things that psychics have to do, and I can't describe them to you one by one. However, as you can see, I can help Youqing but my own wishes, and I can also let Brother Blue Wolf untie the knot, these things that ordinary people can't do, you have to do it with a psychic. ”
"But Chu Qiao, I have nothing to repay you." The blue wolf is colorful.
In the eyes of this former killer and current mercenary leader, the effort must be rewarded. Chu Qiao has no obligation to help him unconditionally, and he has no right to ask Chu Qiao to help him! He really wanted to let himself have the value of being used by Chu Qiao, so that he might be able to exchange for Chu Qiao's help, but now, he suddenly felt that he was very small, Chu Qiao's strength was simply unimaginable to ordinary people like him!
"Hehe......" Chu Qiao smiled again, "I do things, and I never think about who I want in return!" However, my reward is naturally arranged in the dark. If I can dissolve the resentment of Youqing, it will also be a kind of cultivation for me, and this will be my reward. ”
The blue wolf stopped talking, nodded, and took the rest of the wolves to protect Chu Qiao and the others, and walked along the solidified dirt road to the outside of the swamp.
"Quack, I can finally get out of this damn place!" Jin Toad poked his head out excitedly and screamed.
"By the way, those poisonous frogs you left behind......" Chu Qiao glanced at Jin Toad, now that he thought about it, those poisonous frogs should have fed on people or animals that had strayed into the swamp, and condensed that evil thing with their flesh and resentment.
They were all controlled by the golden toad, and now after the golden toad left, if those things popped up again, wouldn't it endanger one party?
"Master, you don't have to worry, as soon as I leave here, they will turn into a miasma and disappear completely!" Jin Toad hurriedly reassured.
"I said Jin Toad, you are so strong, why can't you leave here for so many years?" The five wolves on the side were bold enough to come up and talk to the golden toad.
The golden toad turned his small body, and his eyes the size of a small mung bean glared at the five wolves, "I was killed by someone back then, and my body was abandoned here, because I took away the body of this golden toad, so that I could continue to live, but my body is under the mud, and my soul is also forbidden, imprisoned here, if there is no master to take away my essence blood, I can't leave this swamp at all!" ”
"Could it be that in the past five hundred years, only a group of us have passed by here?!" Yun Mo on the side couldn't help asking.
"Not really!" Jin Toad said quite arrogantly, "Even if I want to leave this ghost place again, I won't easily commit myself to an ordinary person and be a slave to an ordinary person!" Only a god like my master is qualified to be my master! There was once a wizard here who discovered my existence and wanted to take me as his spiritual object, huh...... He also wants to accept me with his little bit of Taoism?! I swallowed him in one gulp! ”
"You've killed a lot!" Chu Qiao glared at Jin Toad, who was boasting triumphantly, and Jin Toad immediately shrank his body into his backpack, "I usually don't harm people's lives!" That man offended me first! I promise you, master, never to do anything wrong again! ”
"Hmm." Chu Qiao nodded, "That's right...... Your tongue ......"
Chu Qiao had just cut off Jin Toad's tongue with Jing Hong, and now that he thought about it, if Jin Toad had no tongue, would it have an impact on his cultivation?
"Don't worry, master, my tongue will grow!" Jin Toad said, "Jin Toad is also a spiritual object, although it is far inferior to an ancient spiritual object, but a broken tongue is not a big deal, at most half a year, you can cultivate another tongue." ”
"That's it......" Chu Qiao put his mind at ease, speaking of which, this life is really dramatic, just now I fought to the death, and now I have become a master and servant.
The next road was very fast, but in half a day, this group of people walked out of this swamp, and when Chu Qiao looked back again, he found that the swamp behind him really rose up a cloud of black gas, and it seemed that the evil frog inside had turned into a miasma.
The blue wolf and the others took out the map and instruments again, determined the direction, and continued to walk forward.
It was night, everyone began to set up a simple tent, now there is no car than before, the materials prepared on the car are very rich, now everything can only be simple, the five wolves took the three wolves to hunt a few game, roasted and ate for Chu Qiao, everyone sat around the fire, and they would not feel cold.
What makes the blue wolf and others strange is that the forest tonight is particularly quiet, and there is not even the sound of insects around, you know, in such a tropical primeval forest, there are a lot of poisonous insects, especially at night, which makes people unguardable!
"Tonight...... Won't those snakes come again? The five wolves came to Chu Qiao's side and asked in a low voice, "Why is it so quiet around?" It's really frightening. ”
"No, it won't." Chu Qiao said disappreciably, took a bite of the compressed biscuit in his hand, and then took a sip of water.
"Chu Qiao, don't be careless! Last time we were besieged by snakes, it was so quiet! The five wolves continued.
"That's not the case this time!" Chu Qiao laughed twice, pointed to the little golden toad who was lying beside him and stared at him curiously, "It's there!" It's more effective than anything that repels insects and animals! ”
The five wolves' eyes widened, and they looked down at the little golden toad, "It? ”
"Hehe, don't heal the scar and forget the pain! Have you forgotten how powerful it is? Chu Qiao couldn't help but tease the five wolves and said, "Don't underestimate it, if you are angry, it will swallow you!" ”
The five wolves left Chu Qiao's side, "Miss, I'd better stay away from you!" It's too dangerous! ”
"Quack-" Jin Toad shouted very cooperatively, and the sound of rustling immediately sounded in the depths of the forest, it should be that some beasts who were secretly peeping this way heard Jin Toad's voice and fled in a hurry.
Everyone laughed, and the five wolves squatted in the distance with some annoyance, blowing their beards and glaring.
This night, it was really quiet, Chu Qiao slept until dawn, and then everyone began to pack up their things and continue to walk towards the cabin.
After walking for about two or three hours, the blue wolf came over and said to Chu Qiao, "It should be almost there, should we ...... Take a break and then go over? ”
"No need." Chu Qiao said in a deep voice, she looked ahead, and saw that not far away, there was indeed a looming black gas. Then she pointed in that direction and said, "Is the wooden house there?" ”
The blue wolf nodded, "It should be there." At the beginning, in order to find out where the shadow was hiding, I bought off the people of Qianjilou, and the address they gave me was here. When I came, I surveyed all the places around here, and made sure that only the Shadow was hiding here, so I was familiar with this place. ”
"Perhaps, she is here alone, just waiting for you to seek revenge!" Chu Qiao said lightly.
"Well, she knows she can't escape my assassination!" There was a gleam in the wolf's eyes, and there was a slight chill in that gleam, did he remember the heartache of being betrayed by the shadows again?
"Let's go!" Chu Qiao beckoned, and everyone walked in the direction of the hut.
"Huh...... Jin Toad popped out of his backpack again, "How can I ...... How do you feel a strange aura? ”
"What is it?" Chu Qiao asked without looking back.
"Hmm...... It looks like the breath of the wizard I swallowed in the first place! Jin Toad thought for a moment and said, "Ahead is the wizard's lair?" That wizard is pretty good, let's go see if he has any good stuff left. ”
The golden toad's small eyes flashed red, and there was a look of anticipation on the toad's face.
"What good can a wizard leave behind?" Chu Qiao said disdainfully, "Especially the wizard who can't even beat you......"
Jin Toad's fragile self-esteem was hurt again, and he said depressedly, "It's because the aura on his body is very evil, and he can't be as wise and martial as you, master, and he can destroy my poisonous frog at once...... He was poisoned by my poisonous frog, so naturally he was no match for me, and if he wasn't poisoned, I might not be ...... Not his opponent! ”
"Oh?" Hearing Jin Toad say this, Chu Qiao suddenly became interested, if it was really as Jin Toad said, this wizard was still quite powerful!
"In the end, although I swallowed him, he also hurt me, and I didn't recover for a long time!" Jin Toad continued.
"Could it be...... That wooden house, left behind by the wizard who was swallowed by the golden toad? Chu Qiao looked at the black qi in the direction of the wooden house, and guessed in his heart, if this is the case, then everything can be explained!
"Let's go! Check it out. Chu Qiao said in a deep voice, "Maybe, it will really surprise us!" ”
Everyone continued to walk forward, and they could already see the wooden house in the distance, but Chu Qiao stopped, pointed to a place and said to the blue wolf, "Brother blue wolf, did you bury the shadow in that location in the first place?" ”
The blue wolf was stunned for a moment, and a very shocked look appeared on his face, "You...... How do you know? That's where ......."
The place Chu Qiao was referring to did not have any traces of man-made, like other places, covered with decaying and rotting leaves, and the small wooden house not far away was about to collapse, many places had collapsed, it should be that after the shadow died, no one had come again.
"Of course I do." Chu Qiao could see that the black qi that was like nothing was emanating from that place, so it must be the place where the blue wolf hastily buried the shadow.
Chu Qiao walked over and asked a few wolves to cut the place open, just a few times, a bone that had not yet rotted was exposed, the blue wolf did not bury the body of the shadow deeply, but also had that intention - waiting for the beast to come and bite the body of the shadow!
Looking at the bits and pieces of bones dug out by the five wolves and the others, Chu Qiao judged that the body of the shadow was indeed torn apart by the beast.
"No skulls." Chu Qiao stood aside, ignoring the pungent rancid smell, and said calmly.
Ah Sheng, who was hiding on the side, couldn't stop being nauseous and vomited, and several wolves couldn't stop scanning Chu Qiao with their eyes, how could she look at these broken bones very calmly?
"yes, no skulls found." The five wolves said, "Could it be that he was dragged away by some wild beast?" ”
"Gather up the bones." Chu Qiao commanded.
"What are you doing with this?" The blue wolf on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"A good burial." Chu Qiao glanced at the blue wolf very strangely, "Do you want her bones to be exposed like this?" ”
"Hmph, that's light on her! She deserves it! This is her retribution. The blue wolf glanced at the blackened bones in disgust, the poison that the shadow had eaten was very strong, until now, these bones were still black, and a bullet hole could be seen in the shoulder blade, which should have been left by the blue wolf in the first place.
"Brother Blue Wolf, do you still want to help Youqing?" Chu Qiao frowned.
Although this shadow is indeed very hateful, but now that people are dead, what is the point of doing to her bones? What kind of bones and ashes, what kind of digging up graves and whipping corpses, are all the behavior of the second goods!
"Okay, just do as you say!" Although the blue wolf was not convinced, he knew that what Chu Qiao said must be reasonable, and he didn't dare to talk to Chu Qiao, so he followed a few wolves to clean up the bones of the shadow, and then according to Chu Qiao's instructions, set up a fire, cremated it, and put it in the jar found from the wooden house.
After doing all this, Chu Qiao walked into the simple wooden house, which only had two rooms, one was a bedroom and the other was a place to stack things.
Chu Qiao walked into the bedroom, there was only a simple wooden bed inside, and on the shelf next to it, there were some yellowed and broken books, the words on those books were strange, Chu Qiao didn't know, called Ah Sheng to see, Ah Sheng didn't know either, people were illiterate, and after going out, because of their livelihood, they learned some simple words, such strange words, everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never seen it, it was like tadpoles one by one.
What interested Chu Qiao the most was that there was a shrine-like platform in the middle of the bedroom, on which was placed a carved wooden object.
"What's this carving?" Chu Qiao looked at the wood carving and pondered, because no one took care of it, this wood carving was also so decayed that he couldn't see what it was.
But after seeing this wood carving clearly, Ah Sheng knelt in front of the shrine with a "plop", kept kowtowing and praying, saying words that Chu Qiao and they couldn't understand, chattering, looking very pious and very excited.
The five wolves were impatient and wanted to pull Ah Sheng up, but they were stopped by Chu Qiao.
After a long time, Ah Sheng ended this worship ceremony, stood up, and respectfully withdrew.
"Brother Asheng, is that your god enshrined?" Chu Qiao saw that Ah Sheng was finally over, so he asked.
Ah Sheng said, "Miss Chu Qiao, that's the common god worshiped by all the people in our forest!" Our great god of prajna! ”
"This place is dedicated to your common gods, so this wizard must also be from your forest, right?" Chu Qiao couldn't help asking, "Well, the wizard who can make Jin Toad feel very powerful can't be an unknown person, Brother Asheng, what are the legends about powerful wizards in this forest?" Let's hear it. ”
A Sheng had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Miss Chu Qiao, the affairs of our clan cannot be spread outside, and you are not from our clan...... It's not good to know! ”
"Haven't you been banished? Still abide by the rules of the Mao? The five wolves on the side couldn't bear it and said, "Whatever Chu Qiao asks, you can quickly say something!" Your patience is very limited! ”
Ah Sheng was so frightened by the five wolves that he looked at the five wolves timidly.
Chu Qiao also glared at the five wolves silently, was this guy a bandit or a hooligan before?
"Brother Asheng, although the words of the five wolves are not good, they are also telling the truth, you have been expelled, you don't have to abide by those things!" Chu Qiao persuaded.
Ah Sheng smiled bitterly, "I also understand this truth...... But I'm afraid ......"
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid of being cursed!" Ah Sheng looked at Chu Qiao even more difficultly, "Miss Chu Qiao...... The curse of the Great Witch is very spiritual, they are all messengers of the god of Prajna, and they have the power of the god of Prajna in their bodies! We must not break our oath, or we will be cursed and die a miserable death! ”
"A messenger of God?" Chu Qiao smiled, "Not yet...... was swallowed by the golden toad into his stomach. The god of Prajna did not come to their aid! ”
As soon as Jin Toad heard Chu Qiao mention himself, he quickly poked his head out, revealing a golden little head, and with a "quack-" sound, Ah Sheng was so frightened that Ah Sheng almost knelt down.
"Only those who truly worship God can receive the power of God! If you rebel against God, you are not a messenger of God! God won't care about them! In order to be able to know something useful from Ah Sheng's mouth, Chu Qiao did not hesitate to start pretending to be a god stick, "This big witch obviously betrayed the will of God, so he will be punished by God and swallowed by the golden toad, so he is no longer a divine envoy, you can rest assured and boldly say something about him!" ”
Ah Sheng was stunned by Chu Qiao's words, and subconsciously felt that what Chu Qiao said was very reasonable! The fear in my heart has gone a little.
"There are three of the most powerful witches in our forest...... I don't know which one of them is this great witch......" Ah Sheng finally spoke, "However, the nearest village from here is Tumeng Village, maybe...... That's the ......."
"Which one?" Chu Qiao asked eagerly.
