Chapter 4: Lingering

The golden scales vaguely remembered the appearance of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range when the enchantment was broken, but the current Sealing Demon Mountain Range is long gone, except for the mountain-shaped landform, all the living beings in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range have long ceased to exist.

Before the barrier was broken, it was pitch black, but it was still a place full of life, but now this place is full of life, and all the plants, trees, and creatures have turned into dust the moment they come into contact with the sun, becoming a lingering mist between the heavens and the earth.

The golden scale was lying in the desert, and at the same time his soul was devastated by the purple sun poison, his skin was also turned to ashes in the warm sun, and the old man who had passed the sixtieth year fell beside the golden scale, looking at the inhuman-shaped golden scale and slowly stretched out his palm.

Thin lines of dark red blood swirled from the old man's palm, and then converged above his palm, condensing into a drop of dark red blood.

The old man squatted down and fed the mediocre blood in his palm to the mouth of the golden scale, and the blood in his mouth turned into galloping blood and filled Xue Yun's whole body in an instant.

The purple yang poison that destroyed the golden scales no longer existed, and the skin that had turned into fly ash before was also reshaped in an instant, and Jiushu, who was in the void space, looked at the soul body that had just condensed into half and quickly dissipated, revealing a sad and happy expression: "Xue Baishou, you dog, why are you everywhere?"

Without waiting for the golden scale soul body to completely dissipate, he escaped into the golden book again, and the golden book became more and more dim, and finally turned into a point of light and disappeared, and the pitch-black and void space returned to its original state.

The Golden Scale's soul body completely dissipated, and the Golden Scale himself regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes, then sat up from the ground suddenly, and touched his face and arms that had turned into ashes in horror.

"Hey, it's a dream!" Jin Liang relieved himself when he was sure that he was fine, and at the moment when he was relieved, the voice from behind him made him sweat coldly.

"Which little baby are you, what are you doing when you run to this Demon Mountain Range, aren't you afraid that the Demon Beast will eat you?" the old man said with a puzzled expression as he stood behind the golden scales.

Hearing this, Jin Liang turned his head and looked at the kind face of the old man behind him, and the panic on his face quietly faded: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that the monster will eat you?"

Although the old man in front of the golden scale is over the age of six, he looks like a dragon and a tiger, more than seven feet tall, with long gray hair and a shawl, an old but angular face, turbid eyes but as clear as a mountain stream, and the eyes of the ancient well without waves contain the sea of stars.

The old man pointed at himself and was stunned and laughed: "I, the monster eats me, little doll, are you sure the monster can eat me?"

Jin Liang was puzzled, but still pretended to understand and said, "Yes, you are too old to bite." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth couldn't help twitching, and then he looked at Jin Liang and said, "Boy, think clearly before you speak, I am a great benefactor who saved your life." ”

"Help?" Jin Liang remembered the scene when he bit his tongue and committed suicide earlier, and looked at the old man in front of him with a thoughtful expression: "You saved me? Could it be that you are a monk?"

"Monk?" the old man smiled evilly, "When did the monk have such great ability?"

"And who are you? Are you a ghost?" could it be that I'm really dead?" said Golden Scale, feared.

"Ghost?" the old man touched his chin and nodded, "That's fine." ”

The old man's words turned the panic on the golden scale's face into a faint sadness, and the old man looked at the golden scale and muttered softly: "There's no reason! There's no reason why the child who came out of the Demon City doesn't know me!"

The old man looked at the golden scales with a serious face: "Little doll, did you come out of the Sealed Demon City?"

Golden Scales looked a little lonely, raised his head and said softly, "What is the place of the Sealed Demon City?"

The old man already knew the answer from the mouth of the golden scale, but he still explained it to him: "The Sealed Demon City is the closest city to the Sealed Demon Mountain Range, and it is also within a radius of a hundred miles

The only city. ”

Jin Liang was puzzled: "Sealing Demon Mountain Range?

The old man was speechless, and he glanced at the golden scales speechlessly, and said speechlessly: "Little doll, you are not dead yet? I don't want to think about how to live well at a young age, and I don't want to live the word death on my lips, do you not want to live anymore, or has life lost its meaning?"

The big eyes of the golden scales stared at the old man and said seriously: "I'm really not dead?"

The old man became more and more speechless: "Really, seeing that you are stupid, I will be a good person to send you home in the end, and say! Where do you live?"

"My family lives in the Sealed Demon Mountain Range!Grandpa, can you really send me back?"

"Grandpa?" The old man looked at Jin Liang with a smile, and was about to say something, but his expression was dull for a moment, and then he raised his hand on Jin Scale's head and changed his words: "Don't recognize your relatives! I'm not your grandfather!"

"And you have to know that the Demon Sealing Mountain Range is the territory of the Demon Beasts, you are a human race, how can your home be in the Demon Sealing Mountain Range?"

Jin Liang said seriously: "My family really lives in the Sealed Demon Mountain Range!"

"At such a young age, who did you learn the ability to lie? The old man smiled faintly, and then said, "Since you live in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, do you know which clan is the strongest demonic beast in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range?"

"Of course I know, my mother said that our Heavenly Wolf Clan is the first Beast Clan in Kyushu, and the most powerful Beast Clan in the Sealed Demon Mountain Range is of course our Heavenly Wolf Clan. Golden Scale said proudly.

The faint smile on the old man's face disappeared without a trace, and the old man looked at the golden scale with a serious face: "Little doll, do you know that you are a human race?"

"Yes!"

"If you are a human race, how can you be a wolf person?"

Jin Scale's expression was gloomy and said: "I was abandoned by my parents since I was born, and my mother saw that I was pitiful, took me in and raised me, and gave me a name!"

"And who is your mother?"

"I don't know what Mother's name is!" Golden Scale shook his head slightly, and then said proudly, "But I know that Mother is the strongest person in the Heavenly Wolf Clan, and the Great Elders all call her Queen Wolf!"

When the golden scale's voice fell, the old man stayed there, and after a long time he came back to his senses and crouched down on his knees: "Will you leave with me? I know your mother! I can take you to her!"

The old man's words made Jin Liang extremely excited, and he grabbed the old man's hand and nodded violently: "Yes! willing! willing!"

The old man took the golden scale's hand and helped him up, then asked, "What's your name?"

Jin Liang said with a happy face: "My name is Jin Scale! This is the name my mother chose for me!"

"Huh!" the old man sneered, but there were tears in his eyes, and just as the old man's tears were crumbling, he turned around and walked forward.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what are you laughing at? Isn't that a bad name?" said Goldscale, trotting forward.

"There's nothing bad about it, it has nothing to do with your name, it's just that I'm old, and I always remember the past, remember the immature and pretended mature faces, and I can't help but laugh when I think of their past troubles. ”

"Them?"

"Yes!

The Sealing Demon Mountain Range occupies a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is the largest Demon Beast Mountain Range in Fengxun Prefecture, fortunately, the place where the two of them were located before is close to the edge of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, otherwise the two of them are afraid that they will not be able to walk out of the lifeless desert for half a month.

After walking for more than an hour, the two of them finally walked out of the Sealed Demon Mountain Range, and saw the green mountains and green leaves, but now the golden scales were sweaty and hungry, their legs were sore and painful, and every step was very difficult.

Another hour passed, and just when Xue Yun was so tired that he was about to fall to the ground, the old man patted him on the shoulder, looked at him and said excitedly:

"Let's go, I'll take you to see something good!"

After the old man finished speaking, he left the avenue and climbed a hundred zhang high mountain on the side, the mountain path was rugged, the trees on the mountain were sparse, the three-foot weeds were luxuriant, and there was a flat place on the mountainside, and in the flat land, in addition to the three-foot weeds, there was a four-foot green leaf and white flower.

A gray-brown boulder resembles the eye of a mountain, falling higher on the hillside behind the green leaf white flower, about ten zhang away from the green leaf white flower.

The old man turned his head sideways, looked at the golden scales beside him, and said softly: "Do you see that green leaf white flower? ”

The hungry Golden Scale licked his lips and said, "What's the use of the Pregnant Thunder Flower?"

The old man nodded slightly: "Pregnant Thunder Flower is a kind of medicinal herb that can be eaten, but it is only effective for a special part of people. Herbs can be used to heal wounds, and can also be used to improve cultivation. The higher the vintage of the medicinal herb, the greater the value! This pregnant thunderflower is 300 years old, which can be regarded as a relatively precious medicinal material, but it is of little use to us. The old man said.

"Then what are we doing here?" the boy said softly.

"Although the Pregnant Thunder Flower is of little use to us, there is something around the Pregnant Thunder Flower that is useful to us. The old man said mysteriously.

"What's that?"

"Thunder Leopard! A kind of magical beast, extremely fast! As long as it helps, we will be able to return to the Sealed Demon City in less than an hour! You stay here and don't move, I'll lure him out!" After the old man finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the location of the pregnant thunder flower.

The old man came to the side of the pregnant thunder flower, stretched out his hand to make a flower picking action, and at the moment when his hand was about to touch the pregnant thunder flower, a black shadow rushed out from behind the gray-brown boulder on the hillside and rushed towards the old man, the old man tapped the ground in front of his feet, and retreated violently.

"Boom" The black shadow fell to the earth and rocks and flew sideways, and where the old man was standing before, the ground sank three feet, raising bursts of black smoke.

The nine-foot-long, five-foot-tall Thunder Leopard, with a dark green body, was staring at the old man viciously with fist-sized eyes, silver light flashing between his hair, and the sound of 'crackling' was incessant.

The old man was calm and calm, and he did not flinch in the face of such a fierce beast.

Seeing this, Lei Leopard felt that his majesty was lost, and he was angry, and he raised his giant palm and slapped it at the old man, like a sharp claw like a sword blade, and he wanted to pierce the old man's head.

The old man did not move, but there was a momentum that spread from his body, and before the claws of the thunder leopard slapped on the old man's body, his limbs were weak, and he was paralyzed to the ground like mud.

The old man looked at Lei Leopard and said lightly: "As long as you obediently listen to me, I will neither pick that pregnant thunder flower, nor will I hurt you." ”

Although the thunder leopard is not as good as the old man, it is also one of the best magical beasts in this mountain forest, although it has not turned into a human form, but it has given birth to spiritual wisdom and can understand human speech, although it does not know the purpose of the old man, but it still nodded in horror.

"Come here!"

Lei Leopard got up, completely devoid of momentum, and came to the old man in a gray manner.

"Get down!"

Lei Leopard did not dare to resist, prostrate on the ground, very obedient.

The old man turned around and beckoned to the golden scales: "Come here!"

The golden scale trotted to the old man's side, looking at the monster crawling on the ground with a surprised face, the old man picked up the golden scale and put him on the back of the monster, and said, "Hold on to its fur!"

"Yes!" the golden scale nodded, and then his small hand gripped the thunder leopard's fur hard.

The old man jumped up, landed on the back of the thunder leopard, grabbed the tight animal skin of the thunder leopard and said, "Take us for a ride, I won't hurt you······!" Hey, hey, hey!"

The old man's laughter made Lei Leopard shudder, he didn't dare to resist at all, so he could only let go of his previous coercion and be willing to be a mount.

"Let's go!" the old man's voice fell, and Lei Leopard didn't dare to slack off and rushed out instantly.
