Chapter 43 Accidental Collision
The rest of the people stayed where they were, waiting for Yu Ling'er to come back, and waited for half an hour before Yu Ling'er came. Yu Ling'er lived up to expectations, and sure enough, she asked for a token from the master. This token is the size of a palm, carved from white jade, with many intricate patterns on it, as well as the big characters of the three dragons flying and phoenix dancing.
At this moment, the Zhang brothers had returned to the woods, and they did not know where they were hidden. Zhao Zheng and others stayed in place.
After Yu Ling'er came back, she briefly told Zhao Zheng and the others about the process of asking for tokens, and then shouted at Lin Zhong: "Two Dharma protectors, I have asked for the token of the master, and I also asked the two Dharma protectors to look at it." ”
As soon as the words fell, two faint strong winds were set off in the forest, and then two figures jumped out of them, and they instantly fell in front of everyone, which was the Zhang brothers before.
Yu Ling'er stretched out her palm and showed the token she was holding in her hand to the Zhang brothers, only to see that in the token, an extremely thin humanoid phantom floated out, and the phantom was like a fairy wind bone, which was the same as the head of Jintai, and it turned out to be a humanoid momentum of Jintai.
The white jade token may be able to be faked, but this momentum cannot be faked.
"Zhang Bing, Zhang Xue, that Pixiu cub is Zhao Zheng's pet, and it is also very useful in this door, so let Yu Ling'er and Zhao Zheng enter Yuxiangyuan and take the Pixiu cub inside." Jin Tai's momentum commanded.
Seeing Jin Tai's momentum was the same as seeing him himself, the Zhang brothers immediately changed their colors, bowed respectfully, and responded: "Obey, master, let's let the two of them go." ”
Zhang Bing stayed where he was. Zhang Xue led Yu Ling'er and Zhao Zheng to Yuxiangyuan. Walk through this wood. Stepping on many strange rocks, we reached the edge of Yuxiang Garden. It is full of tall stones, the shortest of which is more than a zhang high, and encloses the forbidden land tightly, leaving only one entrance to enter. There is no door built on this entrance, and it can be directly entered by a long drive.
In the previous life, Zhao Zheng had been to this place many times, but this was the first time in this life. He slowed down. Through the high gate, I looked into the Yuxiang Garden. I saw that the flowers were in full bloom, the green leaves were shady, a beautiful natural scene, and a faint fragrance wafted out from it, which made people feel comfortable. Among the flowers and green leaves, there is a circular flower bed, about three feet in circumference.
On top of this flower bed, there is a huge crane with a wingspan of one foot. The volume is amazing. The appearance of this crane is the same as that of the red-crowned crane, but it is several times larger. And what is on the head is not a red "red crown", but a piece of turquoise jade. This piece of jade is conceived from flesh and blood, transparent and natural, and flawless. It is precisely because of this unique feature that this crane is named the jade-crowned crane.
Around the two big feet of the jade-crowned crane, there is a round and small figure, it has black and white fluff, the distribution of white and black hair is very unique, the eyes are black, but the head is white, it looks slightly funny, very flattering. This little guy is Po who caused a mess.
In addition to Bao, there is also a strange plant growing at the foot of the jade-crowned crane, the rhizome and leaves of this plant are black, and they are the rich black of ink, except for the fruit growing on it. There are three fruits, each of which varies in size, the largest being the size of a hawthorn and the smallest being the size of a fingernail. The fruit is round, the surface is smooth like jade, there is nothing superfluous, and it looks like a few pearls of extremely high quality.
This white fruit, which is also known as the saliva white jade fruit, taking this kind of fruit can greatly increase the internal strength of the martial artist, and the cultivation realm will skyrocket overnight, saving more than ten years or even more of hard work. The growth cycle of saliva white jade fruit is extremely slow, and the growth process is very special, requiring the jade top crane to pour the chewed juice on it to provide nutrients, without the water of the jade top crane, this fruit will not grow. Therefore, the jade-crowned crane and the saliva white jade fruit are born together, and where there is a jade-crowned crane, it is possible to grow the best spiritual fruit of the saliva white jade fruit.
One of the most important purposes of Zhao Zheng's coming to the Taishan Sect was to obtain saliva white jade fruits, so as to quickly improve his cultivation. As soon as he saw the true body of this saliva fragrant white jade fruit, his eyes showed an unconcealable fiery color, and he hated to take it for himself immediately. After a few glances, he looked away and turned to his little pet that was causing a headache.
At this moment, Po was playing with the Jade-crowned Crane, circling around under its big feet that were big enough to trample it to death, sometimes climbing up the thighs. The jade-crowned crane flapped its wings, frequently changed its posture, and occasionally raised its claws to catch Bao, but it would not be too hard, and it skillfully grasped the proportion. This beast and beast had a lot of fun, and it didn't seem to have enough fun. I really don't know what method Bao used to win the favor of the Jade Crowned Crane, if it was someone else or other strange beasts set foot here, it would have to be attacked by the Jade Crowned Crane. It may probably be that the jade-crowned crane saw that Ah Bao was too young, so he didn't take it seriously, and gave birth to a heart of pity.
"They're having so much fun, let's let them play for a while, and if Po is taken away this time, the two of them will probably never see each other again." Yu Ling'er said with rare thoughtfulness.
"This ...... All right. It's rare to see the jade-crowned crane so happy, so let the two of them play with half a pillar of incense again. Zhang Xue hesitated slightly, but finally agreed. The two brothers have protected the saliva white jade fruit for many years, get along with the jade-crowned crane day and night, and have already developed feelings for the spirit bird, and they also hope that the jade-crowned crane can have a little fun. Besides, the time of half a pillar of incense is not long, that is, a short period of effort.
The three of them stood at the gate of Yuxiangyuan, not in a hurry to disturb the frolicking of the birds and beasts, and laughed at the birds and beasts messing around on the flower beds.
I saw Ah Bao throw off his four little short legs and run around the jade-crowned crane, circling the jade-crowned crane. It ran and ran, and suddenly ran to the saliva white jade fruit, raised its little brain melon to look at the fruit that was slightly taller than it, and sniffed the strange aroma emanating from the fruit. It was probably thirsty, or perhaps it was hooked by the aroma and opened its mouth at the smallest of the fruits. I took a bite down.
The jade-crowned crane had just turned its huge body at this time. I saw it at a glance. The smart eyes full of humanity suddenly showed a look of horror, and the pupils suddenly contracted. It lifted its right foot and grabbed at the ignorant Po.
The three people standing at the door also saw this scene, and they were stunned one by one, and Zhang Xue was even more frightened, and hurriedly rushed forward. If you want to blame it, the body of the jade-crowned crane is too big. blocked everyone's sight just now, causing everyone to fail to see Ah Bao's movements clearly, otherwise, as soon as they saw Ah Bao approaching the saliva white jade fruit, they would immediately stop it. After all, the saliva fragrant white jade fruit is a top and one spirit fruit treasure in the Taishan faction, and even the head of the sect is reluctant to eat it casually.
This series of coincidences contributed to the scene in front of him, Ah Bao swallowed the spirit fruit in one gulp, and the jade-crowned crane grabbed Ah Bao and tried to stop Ah Bao. But it was too late, at the moment when Po was caught in mid-air. It had swallowed the spirit fruit.
The jade-crowned crane bent down its long neck, grabbed Ah Bao in front of him, glared at the latter fiercely, and shook his paws twice, this action not only failed to make Ah Bao spit out the spirit fruit, but swallowed it completely into his stomach, and also hiccuped a little, making a "uh" sound. Seeing this, the jade-crowned crane was immediately furious, and its right claw suddenly clenched a little, it had the power of the Nine Heavenly Martial Artists, and under one claw, it was enough to pinch Ah Bao into pieces.
Po didn't notice the danger coming, but took it as a game, stretched out a pair of furry claws, and touched the jade-topped crane's iron hoop-like claws, which looked harmless to humans and animals, and extremely well-behaved. When the jade-crowned crane saw the coquettish Bao, it was like a deflated ball, his anger gradually suppressed, the claws he clenched gradually loosened a little, and the fierce gaze gradually softened. It can be seen that the jade-crowned crane has given up his murderous intent and doesn't want to do anything to Ah Bao anymore.
The jade-crowned crane let go of Ah Bao, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Xue, one of the two heroes of ice and snow, will let go of Ah Bao, his responsibility is to guard the saliva white jade fruit, and never allow this kind of spirit fruit to be lost, now Ah Bao has eaten the spirit fruit, he has a responsibility that he can't shirk, and his intestines are going to regret it.
"Evil beasts! Quickly spit out the saliva white jade fruit! Zhang Xue snorted, raised a single palm, and volleyed at Ah Bao's head, intending to kill Ah Bao, and then rescue the spirit fruit that had just been in the stomach. If he could salvage the remaining spiritual fruits, at least some of his sins would be alleviated. He and his brother have been guarding this spirit fruit here for more than ten years, and they have been conscientiously protecting this spirit fruit, for fear of making a mistake, but he didn't expect to be eaten by Ah Bao today, so how could he not be angry.
Zhao Zheng was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Ah Bao to break into such a big basket at all. He was afraid that Ah Bao would lose, so he didn't care much, so he hurriedly flew up and chased after him, and stopped: "Be merciful!" Whatever is at fault, I am the one to bear! ”
It's a pity that Zhang Xue didn't take Zhao Zheng's words seriously at all, and Zhao Zheng's speed was more than a star and a half slow, and he couldn't catch up with the former under the anger at all.
Seeing that Zhang Xue's palm was about to split on Ah Bao's head, at this critical moment, the jade-topped crane suddenly made a crane chirp, one foot on the ground, and his wings slapped suddenly, fanning up two strong winds, blowing Zhang Xue in mid-air to a standstill, and then jumped into the air. Obviously, the jade-crowned crane is trying to protect Ah Bao and does not want Ah Bao to be harmed.
"What are you doing here? It has eaten saliva and committed a great sin, so don't you leave it to me to deal with it!" Zhang Xue fell to the ground and raised his head and shouted at the jade-crowned crane in mid-air.
The jade-crowned crane has a very high level of intelligence, and its wisdom is similar to that of a teenager, although it can't speak, but it can understand most of the people's words and can figure out what Zhang Xue means. It took off in mid-air and made several crane chirps of different levels to communicate with Zhang Xue and express its simple meaning. It made its position clear, didn't want Zhang Xue to hurt Bao, and even interceded for Bao.
Zhao Zheng and Yu Ling'er also rushed over at this time, and both spoke out to dissuade Zhang Xue, for fear that Zhang Xue would lose her mind and kill Bao.
"You two shut up for me, don't go even half a step closer to the flower bed, or don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone! It's all because of the two of you, that's why the evil beast ate the spirit fruit, and after the boss blames it, let's see how the two of you end! Zhang Xue turned her head and shouted angrily. The sound he roared out actually formed an aggressive wave of qi, blowing the flowers and plants on the ground in all directions, and Zhao Zheng and the others were also blown back a few steps.
The flower bed planted with saliva white jade fruit is the top priority of the Taishan faction. If the two of them approached rashly. It is easy to cause Zhang Xue's misunderstanding. At that time, if Zhang Xue is stimulated, it may even cause death. Zhao Zheng and the two of them didn't dare to approach rashly anymore, so they had to stand in place obediently.
"Spirit Crane! Hurry up and hand over that evil beast, if it is too late to disembowel it now, if you can take out the spirit fruit, at least you can give it to other people to eat, so as to avoid waste. Zhang Xue raised her head and shouted at the jade-crowned crane.
"Naru! Toll! Toll! The jade-crowned crane called several times in response. But he didn't put Ah Bao down, obviously didn't change his mind, and still refused to hand Ah Bao over to Zhang Xue to deal with.
Po was grabbed by the big claws, and was carried high in the air, looking very uncomfortable, waving his four little short legs desperately in mid-air, and bleating twice. It had no idea what terrible it had done.
Zhang Xue was unrelenting, and was still determined to kill Ah Bao and take out the spirit fruit. But the jade-crowned crane insisted on refusing, grabbing Ah Bao and flying in mid-air. The two sides are at loggerheads. The confrontation lasted for a while.
At this stalemate, from the token in Yu Ling'er's hand. A wisp of green smoke came out, and the green smoke rolled and transformed, forming the phantom of the head of Jintai.
"Zhang Xue, don't persecute Linghe anymore, since the matter has come to this, let go of the Pixiu cub. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, it's just a Pixiu cub, they don't understand anything at all, and everything is excusable. It was destined to be able to come here, and eat the spirit fruit by mistake under the gaze of so many people. The saliva white jade fruit melts when it encounters water, and it is estimated that there is nothing left now, even if you kill it, you will not get the fruit. In this case, it is better to have a favor and cheapen this Pixiu cub. After eating this spirit fruit, it should be able to gain a lot of growth, saving it more than ten years or even more growth time, so that it can become stronger quickly. It is Zhao Zheng's pet, and Zhao Zheng is the elder of the sect and has made many contributions to the sect. Let this Pixiu cub grow up as soon as possible, which is also good for this door. It's better to see a little bit of everything, so don't force it. Jin Tai's momentum said leisurely.
The momentum can communicate with the ontological mind at a certain distance, and through this momentum, the head of Jintai has understood the whole process of the matter, and what this momentum says is actually what he meant.
Zhang Xue's expression changed when she heard this, and she wilted like a frosted eggplant, losing her aggressive momentum. He can not listen to other people's words, but he must listen to the words of the master. He gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth and crunched, and said unwillingly: "Our brother has been guarding here for more than ten years, in order to protect this spiritual fruit from loss for the master, so many outstanding people up and down the door have not been able to eat this spiritual fruit, but now they are cheap for this evil obstacle, our brother is really unwilling." ”
"Zhang Xue, your brother's contribution to this sect is indispensable, I see it all in my eyes, and I am really grateful in my heart. But no matter how distressed you are, everything is irretrievable, even if you kill this Pixiu cub, what can you do? For now, let's look a little more away. Simply what it ate was only one of the smallest spirit fruits, and the two spirit fruits that were close to maturity were safe and sound, and the losses were still within the range of bearing. Kim Tae's momentum comforted.
"Alas, time is also fate. I really didn't expect that the spirit fruit would be eaten by a vicious animal right under my nose. Zhang Xue looked up to the sky and sighed, but she was afraid that she had the heart to poke herself.
Under the abbot of Jintai, Ah Bao's sins were finally relieved and this little life was saved.
Zhao Zheng experienced a false alarm and breathed a sigh of relief, and then his mood changed sharply and became very complicated. Po is safe and sound, and of course he is happy. Moreover, Ah Bao also ate a spirit fruit, under the medicinal power of this spirit fruit, it will definitely be able to be quickly improved, and it will have great strength early. This is also a happy event, and it is a great event. But while being happy, he also gave birth to some jealousy. He couldn't get the spirit fruit with all his efforts, but Ah Bao easily ate one, which was really fateful. This responds to the old saying, if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you will not plant willows and willows without intention!
Bao, who was the person concerned, was at a loss to understand what was going on, and in his opinion, he was just eating a fragrant fruit.
Seeing that Zhang Xue was no longer shouting to kill Ah Bao, the jade-crowned crane fell to the ground again, but instead of landing near the flower bed, it landed farther away and put Ah Bao down. Now I'm afraid that no one will dare to put Ah Bao near the saliva white jade fruit, God knows if it will eat the other two spirit fruits.
"Thank you for the grace of the head not to kill, Ah Bao is my pet, it ate such a valuable spirit fruit, the responsibility is all on me, I am willing to take all the responsibility, whether it is punishment or meritorious service." Zhao Zheng bowed deeply at Jin Tai's momentum. Ah Bao ate the spirit fruit, so naturally he, the master, had to carry the black cauldron.
"Pixiu cub is not sensible, and I can't blame you, besides, you have made many meritorious contributions to this sect, and you can offset the sins this time. You don't have to feel guilty, as long as you continue to work for the Tarzan faction in the future. Jin Tai's imposing words soothed.
"Thank you for your kindness." Zhao Zheng said gratefully. (To be continued......)
