Chapter 686: A Trip to the Swamp

"No kidding!" I was a little impatient, "Do you think you brought me to my current situation?" Don't be so presumptuous! The person who brought all this is ten thousand times stronger than you! ”

I was a little over-the-top, and even alarmed the bitter soup who was concentrating on the dictation of the scriptures.

"Why are you arguing?" Bitter soup asked.

I said, "Gillian still doesn't want to accept the help from below, saying that she doesn't want bad luck to hurt people again." ”

Kuyu looked at Gillian, pointed at me, and said in the language of this world, "Gillian, he, safe, reliable......"

Leo said: "It's like a hermit hero who entrusted his daughter to the hero before he died......"

Gillian looked sad and whispered, "Sage, I don't want to go on like this!" ”

Kutang didn't insist, just put down the scroll and quill, put his hands together in front of his chest, and said lightly: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Gillian said, "The sage is pious in his faith and powerful, but because I have become like this, why do you want to come here?" ”

I said, "Because I also have my faith...... However, since you are so determined, I will not force you, if necessary, just go to the city and find the new restaurant 'Otherworldly Food House', and they will help you......"

Gillian still didn't appreciate it, and just said, "I'll make my own decision, or, I'll go there to repay you, but not now." ”

"It's up to you." I say.

The atmosphere was cold again, and we sat around the fire, and the bitter soup continued to write, and Leo said, "Well, the scriptures seem to be not short......

I said, "You don't remember how many words?" ”

Leo said: "The Buddhist scriptures that have been circulated in the world, the least Heart Sutra has more than 200 words, a lot of thousands of words, and tens of thousands of words. ”

"What's the name?" I asked.

"Diamond Sutra." Leo said.

I finally got a little interested: "Isn't this the scripture for practicing vajra?" ”

Leo said, "Don't be complacent, who told you that the Diamond Sutra is the practice of the Diamond Body?" Most of the Buddhist scriptures talk about the cultivation of the heart and soul, and the physical cultivation is all external kung fu, and there are no Buddhist scriptures specifically about this. ”

I was a little depressed: "You mean, he wrote the wrong scriptures?" ”

"That's not what I mean," said Leo, "I'm talking about the earth when I came, and maybe these verses will have a strange effect in a world of elemental energy." ”

I said, "Are you uncomfortable if you don't talk around the corner?" ”

Leo said: "Well, if you don't talk around the corner, it's uncomfortable, just like you will die if you don't complain, it's all sick, the kind that can't be cured!" ”

I had to turn the subject to Gillian: "Are you here just to take care of him, or are you on a mission?" ”

"There is a mission, but also to find herbs." Gillian said.

"The herbs are probably useless," I said, "and his body suffers from ...... Well, he can only be cured if he gives up something himself, but unfortunately, he can't let it go, so whatever medicine you give him, for him, it will only aggravate his death. ”

Gillian turned to look at me, then shrunk back, hugged her knees as if she felt the cold, and buried her head in it.

Actually, the summer nights are not so cool.

"Your words pierce my heart again." Leo said.

I knew that piercing my heart probably meant breaking my heart, and I felt a little guilty, saying, "Don't blame yourself......"

"I didn't ......," said Gillian sullenly.

The atmosphere was cold again.

"Are you, Topic Buster?" Leo said teasingly.

I didn't give up and said, "What is your mission?" ”

Gillian said, "I'm done with the fish-man witch doctor. ”

It's cold again.

"Give up......," said Leo, "it seems that this little she-wolf is not easy to tame, take your time." ”

I said, "So you have times when you don't work." ”

Leo said: "It's not a harem, why am I so active?" By the way, the Five Ranger is a little worried. ”

I summoned the heron and wrote a note to the five rangers, and the heron flew over to deliver the message, and I said, "You sent Jixiang back?" Doesn't you think you're worried about them? ”

"They still have witches in their stomachs, what am I afraid of?" "I just don't want them to get in trouble." ”

I said, "Is there any danger around?" ”

Leo said, "Who can say for sure?" Why don't you do a divination? ”

I thought about it for a moment and did a divination.

Divination showed that the trip would go well.

Next, I just had to wait for Kuyu to finish the scriptures.

However, the awkward atmosphere made me a little uncomfortable.

After a long time, Gillian spoke again: "What are you doing here?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I'm here for a mission, which is to eradicate the mutant fishmen who are active in this area. ”

Gillian looked up and said, "The mutant fish-man has been killed by me. ”

"Huh?" I was a little surprised.

"It's a fish-man who can use magic and has reached the low-level Monster level," Gillian said, "I was originally just a fish-killer but I didn't expect to encounter a mutated fish-man, otherwise before, I might not be able to beat it, but since I practiced the martial arts given to me by the sage, I have a certain resistance to the magic element, and I can easily kill the mutant fish-man." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice," I said, "you've helped me with my mission, thank you!" ”

Gillian took out a pale blue fish scale about the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex from the package and said, "These are the scales on the head of the mutant fishman, which are the source of the elemental energy in its body. ”

"Look, that's a side quest reward, right?" Leo said.

It's just a pity that I'm not satisfied with such a "reward".

Gillian handed me the scales and said, "If that's part of the reward, I don't think a hundred more times is enough." ”

I said, "You want to repay me a hundred times?" ”

Gillian said: "No, I won't, presumably you won't come here all day long to do these difficult tasks, with your strength, the Mage Tower is estimated to recruit you, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult for me to repay you, I am struggling with this matter." ”

I shook my head and smiled and said, "I never thought you would be such a stubborn person. ”

"Don't you know now?" Gillian said, "Do you regret saving me at the time?" ”

"It's all your own imagination," I said, "I was just doing it out of kindness, and by the way, I was causing trouble for the wolf clan or something." ”

Leo said: "Well, you are already unchanging and your heart is not beating when you tell a lie now, and people who don't have polygraphy and divination have no way to take you at all!" ”

I said, "Don't say it so ugly, and I'm not exactly here for the side quest rewards. ”

"It's shameless, but I appreciate it! This is the quality of a mature person! Leo said, "Why not bring a piece of beauty and kindness to the world and get benefits at the same time?" ”

"You're talking more and more weirdly." I say.

"If you can keep up with me." Leo said, "Actually, you should have called the Five Ranger just now......

"There's no need," I said, "Gillian wouldn't have accepted their kindness anyway, or she would have teamed up a long time ago, and I'd not have seen it until she had been dead for a long time." ”

Leo said: "You really dare to guess, forget it, I'll study the magic skills first, whether he is called flickering or teleportation, I have to take it, and you can talk to the little she-wolf slowly!" ”

I complained, "You don't give me ideas either...... and he ignored me.

Gillian was silent again.

It took a long time for her to say again: "You seem to know divination?" ”

I thought she had just seen me doing divination, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She said, "Well, you can do a divination for me, and if it proves that I do not carry the curse of bad luck, then take your advice and do things for you." ”

I didn't expect things to go this way.

I tried to convince her several ways, and complained that Leo refused to help, but I didn't realize that the solution was actually on me......

"Good!" I said, "If you prove that you don't have a curse on you, go and work in my shop!" ”

Gillian said, "Yes, but I will accompany the sage through the last days of his life. ”

"Of course," I said, "I'll be with him, after all, he and I can communicate normally, don't we?" ”

Gillian said, "Please start." ”

I said, "For a more accurate divination, please give me a hair, or a fingernail or something." ”

Gillian pulled a handful of hair from next to her ear and handed it to me.

I said, "More ......" but looking at her serious expression, I didn't say anything more and began to do divination.

After a moment, I smiled.

"How?" Gillian also seemed to realize the result, and asked, "What do you say about divination?" Is there really no curse? ”

I smiled and shook my head: "No, you have!" ”
