Chapter 17: Ancient Behemoths
Li Wu didn't expect that the quirky girl in front of him turned out to be the daughter of the Eastern Fox Emperor Heavenly Demon Fox Monarch Moon Fox.
Because he inherited Chen Xianwu's memory, he still has some understanding of the world in front of him.
Around the Houtu Continent, there is a continent in the east, west, north and south, all of which are the world of the demon clan.
The Four Directions Continent, plus the Houtu Continent, which is located in the center of the Four Seas, is known as the Five Directions Continent.
Among them, the Eastern Continent is called the Shenlong Continent, which is the world of the Dragon Clan.
Between the Houtu Continent and the Shenlong Continent, there is also a huge island called Tianhu Island.
Tianhu Island is said to be an island, but it is only compared to the vast and huge Wufang Continent.
Strictly speaking, in fact, Tianhu Island is also a continent, but the area is smaller.
Sky Fox Island is the world of the fox clan, respecting the Heavenly Demon Fox Jun Moon Fox as the emperor, known as the Oriental Fox Emperor.
Li Wu asked with a smile, "Since you are the daughter of the Moon Fox, how can you be willing to become Luo Hongchen's spiritual pet?"
"It's a long story. β
Bai Xinyue said slowly: "Xinyue's family is a fire fox, only Xinyue is a white fox. Moreover, Xinyue's older brothers and sisters are born with human form, but Xinyue will not change. When I was young, I was playing outside the door, and I happened to be seen by the Holy Maiden who was passing by Tianhu Island on the Eastern Continent, and she liked me very much, so she wanted to take me as an apprentice. β
"So you said yes?"
"The Holy Maiden said she could help me learn to change and teach me spells. β
"Your father, as the Qianqiu Fox Emperor, is willing to give his daughter to others as a spiritual pet?"
"The reason why my father agreed to give me to the Holy Maiden is because the Holy Maiden is a goddess from the Heavenly Domain, and he is worried that angering the Holy Maiden will bring ruin to the fox clan on Tianhu Island, and on the other hand, because I will not change, I am worried that I will die young, and giving me to the Holy Maiden can save my life, which is also a helpless move. β
Li Wu asked again: "Since you are the daughter of the Moon Fox, why don't you have the surname Yue, but the surname Bai?"
"This is the name given by the Holy Maiden to Xinyue, because Xinyue is a white fox and the daughter of the moon fox. β
"You've been practicing for tens of thousands of years, and now you've learned to change, so it stands to reason that you should be an old fox now. Why do you still maintain the image of a girl, this can't be an illusion of your transformation, right?
"Who said this is an illusion? People have been like this since the day they learned to change, and this is the appearance of other people. β
"Then why haven't you aged?"
Although Li Wu has never seen immortals, he has also heard that even immortals will change, even if immortals have the ability to maintain their youthful appearance for a long time, but an adult will never maintain the temperament and demeanor of a boy and girl for a long time.
The Holy Child is a special case, although the Holy Child is an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, but it is still a spirit and is not a human at all.
Bai Xinyue said: "I don't know about this, Xinyue only knows that since I came here, the master has used the soul fixing technique on Xinyue, and Xinyue's appearance has never changed since then." β
"Can you tell me what kind of person Luo Hongchen is?"
"I'm sorry master, Xinyue doesn't know much about the Holy Maiden. β
"You've been with her for tens of thousands of years, how can you not understand?"
"Although Xinyue has been with the Holy Maiden for tens of thousands of years, the Holy Maiden often went out at that time, and Xinyue and the Holy Maiden really spent very little time together. And since she came here, the Holy Maiden has rarely appeared, and then she has not been seen at all. β
It seems that Luo Hongchen is not a competent pet owner.
"How long has it been since you've seen her?"
"It should have been more than 30,000 years since the last appearance of the Holy Maiden!"
"Don't talk about that. β
Li Wu could see that as the Holy Infant said, Bai Xinyue's heart was very pure, and he shouldn't know a lot of things.
Since he couldn't ask anything, he didn't want to continue to entangle, and said to Bai Xinyue: "Luo Hongchen has already transferred you to me as a spirit pet, and I will be your master from now on." However, I don't want to treat you as a spiritual pet, but I want to treat you as a human being, and promote you to be my handmaiden, are you willing to be my handmaiden?"
Bai Xinyue glanced at the handsome and dashing Li Wu, and said sheepishly: "Xinyue is willing, since the Holy Maiden left, Xinyue has not seen a living person for tens of thousands of years, and the master is still the first human to come here in tens of thousands of years." β
This Li Wu can understand.
A girl like a flower and jade, staying in this isolated space for tens of thousands of years, not even a person to speak, anyone will be lonely in their hearts, if he is replaced, he must go crazy.
Li Wu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, isn't there a little monkey here, why didn't it come to see me?"
Bai Xinyue said: "Master, the little monkey has come, and he is now waiting outside the main hall." β
"Then why didn't it come in with you?"
"The little monkey was ugly, and he did not dare to come in without the command of his master, for fear of frightening his master. β
Li Wu smiled disappreciatively: "What's so scary about a little monkey? I'm not that timid!"
"Since the master is not afraid, then Xinyue will go and call the little monkey in. β
"Okay, go and call him in. β
Bai Xinyue agreed, happily ran outside the main hall, and soon brought a black monkey.
At first glance, when he saw this "little monkey", Li Wu's eyes straightened.
I saw that what Bai Xinyue brought in was a black-haired silver-backed ape, more than two feet tall.
Where is this Nima a little monkey, it is clearly an ancient giant beast!
Seeing this huge silver-backed ape, although Li Wu was a little scared in his heart, he had to pretend to be the calm appearance of the master.
Li Wu said to Bai Xinyue: "Xinyue, you stand by my side." β
Bai Xinyue was very obedient, and climbed the steps to stand beside Li Wu.
Li Wu looked at the little monkey below, and pretended to ask Bai Xinyue lightly, "Xinyue, why did he grow so big?"
Bai Xinyue said: "Back to the master's words, Xinyue heard the Holy Maiden say that the little monkey was indeed just a cute little monkey before entering this space, and then because he stole some heavenly treasures, his body suddenly grew up, and he grew like this." β
Li Wu joked: "Does he have a good temper and doesn't bite people, right?"
Bai Xinyue ran down the steps, took the little monkey's hand and said with a smile: "Master, don't look at the little monkey being tall and mighty, in fact, his temperament is very docile, and he never bullies other small animals." β
"That's good, that's good!"
Li Wu let out a sigh: "Then can he understand human speech?"
Bai Xinyue said: "The little monkey not only understands and speaks human words, but also changes. β
Li Wu was very interested and asked the little monkey: "Little monkey, if the deity guesses correctly, your current appearance should be your true appearance, right?"
In order to elevate his identity, Li Wu began to call himself a deity in front of Bai Xinyue and the silverback ape.
This can not only make him look more unfathomable, but also make Bai Xinyue and the little monkey feel a little awe of him.
The little monkey replied, "Yes, master, the little monkey is what the little monkey is now." β
Li Wudao: "Then can you show your Dharma appearance for the deity to see?"
The reason why Li Wu let the little monkey show his appearance was because he didn't want to face a terrifying giant beast all day long.
The little monkey was very obedient: "Master, the little monkey will follow the master's instructions and show the appearance of the law." β
After the little monkey finished speaking, a black mist instantly rose around his body, and his tall body was shrouded in black mist in the blink of an eye.
By the time the fog had cleared, the tall silverback had transformed into a stupid-looking majestic man.
Li Wu smiled and bowed his head at the little monkey and said, "Isn't it very good, little monkey, the deity likes the way you are now, and you must always maintain the current appearance in front of the deity in the future, so don't show your true appearance." β
Although the little monkey who shows the appearance of the law is more than a zhang tall, it is still a lot taller than a normal person, and it is still as tall and powerful as a King Kong Arhat, but it is a person, and under the stupid appearance, there is a bit of Xiong Daxiong Er's naΓ―ve appearance, which looks cute and cute, and it looks not so terrifying.
The little monkey nodded and said, "Yes, the little monkey obeys the master's orders." β
Li Wu looked at the little monkey, touched his chin and thought about it: "Little monkey, your body is so powerful and majestic, it doesn't hurt for the deity to call you a little monkey as your master, it's not appropriate for outsiders to call you like this." Now that you have recognized the deity as your master, the deity is obliged to give you a new name that suits you. In this way, you will be called Sun Tiangang in the future!"
"Sun" is the homonym of "Tan", and "Tiangang" is the meaning of "King Kong in the sky".
Don't say it, the little monkey was originally an ape that looked as powerful as a King Kong Arhat, and the name Li Wu gave the little monkey, whether it was a surname or a first name, was quite suitable for the little monkey.
"The little monkey has a name, and the little monkey has a name!"
When he got a new name, the little monkey was so happy that he couldn't help but dance with his hands.
Li Wu could see that although the little monkey had learned to transform into a human form, his spirituality had not yet been fully enlightened, and his IQ was not half a star worse than that of the eccentric Bai Xinyue.
Bai Xinyue was also very happy, and immediately went to make a fragrant tea for Li Wu, and also brought two small cakes.
Li Wu picked up the teacup and tasted it, and found that this tea could actually wake up and refresh the mind, which was absolutely extraordinary.
After drinking tea and eating cakes, Li Wu asked Bai Xinyue and the little monkey to take him on a tour inside and outside the courtyard.
He found that around the courtyard, in addition to planting some exotic flowers and plants, some edible spiritual plants were also planted.
After the visit, the three masters and servants returned to the main hall.
Although Luo Hongchen is likely not to come back, Li Wu can completely take Luo Hongchen's bedroom as his own.
But Li Wu thought about it again and again, and in the end he still didn't occupy Luo Hongchen's bedroom, he always felt that it was not good to do that.
In the end, Li Wu asked Bai Xinyue to rearrange a room as a room for him to rest temporarily.
After tidying up the bedroom, Bai Xinyue asked Li Wudao: "Master, will the Holy Maiden come back?"
Li Wudao: "The Holy Maiden is busy with affairs, she is stumped by some things in other places, and it is estimated that she will never come back, even if she wants to come back, it may be hundreds of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years later." β
In fact, Li Wu didn't know if Luo Hongchen would come back, let alone when Luo Hongchen would come back.
But in order for Bai Xinyue and the little monkey to obey him with all their hearts, he must cut off their illusions.
