The master hurriedly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the voice, and saw Xiao Laodao leading Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Shiyi, and the little ghost monkey, not far from the bottom of the cliff.

The master hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern, "Brother Xiao, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Laodao replied: "It's okay, we just went up to the top of the cliff and chatted with Miss Lan'er and them a little more." ”

The master asked again: "How are the two of them, are they okay?" ”

Xiao Laodao replied: "It's okay, it's just that they didn't see that evil man, that guy should still be at the bottom of the cliff, after we come down, let them put the rope up, so as not to be climbed up by that guy." ”

As he spoke, the two sides bumped heads, Xiao Laodao looked behind my grandfather and asked, "I heard the monkey say that you found the nest of those gopher spirits, where are they?" ”

"Just in my ......" The master raised his hand, turned around and pointed behind him, and before he finished speaking, he was stunned.

"Where?" Xiao Laodao asked.

Seeing that the soil hole not far behind the master was gone, it became an earthen wall, and the master had to slowly retract his hand again.

"What's wrong?"

The master was stunned and said: "It's nothing, there was a soil hole on the cliff just now, but it is missing at this time, it should be an illusion......"

Xiao Laodao glanced in the direction that the master pointed out just now, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Brother, why do you always encounter illusions?" ”

The master shook his head lightly and said, "I have never met it in the past, and ......it has been since I met Brother Xiao's master and apprentice," he didn't finish speaking, he didn't want to continue talking, and instead repeated what the big white mouse had just said to him to Xiao Laodao.

After listening to this, Xiao Laodao was silent for a while, and finally said to the master: "Let's go, let's get out of here first." Saying that, regardless of whether the master agrees or not, Xiao Laodao greeted the two apprentices, turned around and walked back, and when the master saw this, he had no choice but to return with them.

After walking at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, Xiao Laodao in front finally stopped, Xiao Laodao turned around and looked at the cliff, put two fingers in his mouth, whistled twice towards the cliff, and soon, a rope came down from the cliff.

Xiao Laodao said to the master: "Brother, you go first, Miss Lan'er is worried about you above." ”

When the master heard this, he asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, are we going to leave here?" Xiao Laodao didn't say a word, and the master asked again: "If we leave now, what will happen to those rehmannia essences?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "Brother, don't worry, since we have promised others, we will definitely take care of it to the end, but now there are more urgent matters waiting for us to deal with on the cliff, and when the above matters are dealt with, we will come down to take care of their affairs." ”

Hearing this, the master hurriedly asked, "What's the urgency?" ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Don't ask so much first, you'll understand when you get up." ”

The master suddenly looked puzzled, walked to the rope, grabbed the rope and tried it, and was just about to climb up, the master turned his head coldly and asked Xiao Laodao: "By the way, Brother Xiao, what is the surname of the old brother on the cliff?" ”

"What?" Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Brother, you have a heart now, the old brother above is surnamed Qi, named Qi Wanshan, in order to pay off his son's gambling debts, he mixed with several tomb robbers, and later poisoned in the tomb, we saved him...... Right? Am I right? The master nodded, Xiao Laodao was really alert, and he knew what he meant when he heard what the master said.

"Don't worry, brother, this is not an illusion, we are all real people!"

When the master heard Xiao Laodao say this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, grabbed the rope and climbed up, and when the master climbed up, he felt that the people above were grabbing the rope and pulling it up, and he suddenly felt a lot easier. However, just when the master climbed to a height of two zhang, suddenly, the rope was suddenly loosened, and the master's heart suddenly sank, not good, the rope was broken!

Immediately after, the master's body fell down quickly, the master relied on a good martial arts, forcibly stabilized his body in the air, looked down at it, fortunately it was not too high, and then turned a heel bucket in the air, unloading part of the force of the fall, "poof", his feet hit the ground, and his body followed and squatted on the ground.

"Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Laodao shouted, and rushed to the master as soon as possible.

"Don't come here!" The master slowly stood up from the ground, Xiao Laodao suddenly stopped, the master glanced at him coldly, grabbed the broken rope in his hand and asked, "What's going on!" ”

Xiao Laodao looked at the broken rope and said, "Sure enough, it's the same as I guessed, brother, you show me the rope." ”

The master stood still and shouted coldly: "You first prove that this is not an illusion!" ”

Xiao Laodao stomped his foot, raised his hand and pointed to the broken rope in the master's hand, "Brother, don't worry, let's take a look at the broken rope in your hand first." ”

The master glanced at Xiao Laodao vigilantly, and then pulled the broken rope into his hand, and when he looked at it, he saw that the rope seemed to have been cut by someone with a sharp weapon, and the cutting surface was very neat, but who could cut the rope out of thin air in the middle of the cliff, could it be that there was still a person on the rope?

At this time, I heard Xiao Laodao say: "This is someone who doesn't want us to go up, at least they don't want you to go up, if you believe the old brother, throw the rope to me and let me see." ”

The master looked at the rope, then looked at Xiao Laodao, raised his hand and threw the rope to Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao took the rope, and before Xiao Laodao checked, there was a shouting of the showgirl from the top of the cliff, although there was a big urn sound, but he could barely understand what was being shouted, so he heard the showgirl shout: "Brother Bingshou, is it you, why is the rope broken, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Laodao took the opportunity to say to the master: "Brother, you have heard it, if this is an illusion, can it be so real, don't worry, this is not an illusion, we are all real people!" As he spoke, Xiao Laodao looked down at the rope in his hand, and then said: "Judging from the broken end of the rope, it looks like it was cut by a sharp weapon, if I guess correctly...... It should be the rehmannia essence that did it. ”

When the master heard this, he showed a look of disbelief, and asked coldly: "Why are you so sure, is there any evidence?" ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "Brother, don't you still believe me, then let me ask you, what kind of weapons did they use to kill the gopher spirits you killed?" ”

The grandfather replied: "I didn't use weapons. ”

Xiao Laodao nodded, "That's it, their weapons are teeth, they can't look down on other weapons at all, if they want to break the rope, they will definitely bite with their teeth, and now this rope is neat, and it is not a tooth bite at all." ”

The master said: "That doesn't prove that it was done by Rehmannia Essence, the previous illusion was done by that white mouse, and now it's ...... What if you're a gopher in the cave and you're trying to confuse me? ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly showed a wry smile, "Brother, if we are really transformed by those gopher spirits, then why should we confuse you, just attack you and kill you?" ”

The master thought about it, and what Xiao Laodao said was right, but why didn't the big white mouse attack him before, and why did he take his children and grandchildren back into the hole? Does it serve another purpose?

I heard Xiao Laodao say again: "You dragon slayer hero is full of evil spirits, and just now you killed a few gopher spirits to raise your prestige, and those goblin spirits are reluctant to let you leave." After a pause, Xiao Laodao then said: "I said that there is an urgent matter above, let you go up first, in fact, it is just an excuse, there is nothing at all above, I just want to see if you can go up, whether someone will leave you behind, at the moment, brother, I guessed right, and those rehmannia essence don't want to hurt you, otherwise, when you are about to climb to the top, you will cut the rope, no matter how capable you are, you will have to fall into a waste if you don't die." ”

After Xiao Laodao finished speaking, the master pondered in his heart, and what he said was right, but at the moment, whether it was real or illusory, whether it was a gopher spirit or a rehmannia spirit, the two of them didn't seem to want to be enemies with themselves, right now, as long as they calmed down, took a step by step, and saw what they wanted to do!

Thinking of this, the master cupped his fist and arched his hand to Xiao Laodao, and said politely: "Brother Xiao, I misunderstood you, Brother Shicai, and I hope Brother Xiao will forgive me." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly waved his hand, "Brother, what you are talking about, it's okay, let's come all the way, there are more spirits than in Journey to the West, or what I said, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you did the right thing!" ”

The grandfather asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled strangely and said: "Didn't the white mouse say it, the rehmannia essence guards an immortal spring, and I think that the evil Taoist priest is also here for this spring, so let's ...... Back in the valley, each of us drank a sip of spring water, if the rehmannia essence is given to us to drink, we will help them, if not, then we will not care about the idle affairs between them. ”

When the master heard this, he was confused, could it be that it is really not an illusion right now, just Xiao Laodao's character of not getting up early if he is not profitable, and if he does not take advantage, he will suffer a loss, and those brutes can't learn it.

At this moment, the girl on the cliff shouted again, Xiao Laodao hurriedly gave Xiao Chujiu a look, Xiao Chujiu pulled his throat and shouted towards the cliff: "Miss Lan'er——, don't worry——, Liu Daxia is fine——, when we finish the following things, we will go up to you——! ”

Xiao Chujiu shouted, and Xiao Laodao added: "Miss Lan'er, see if there is any rope in the bread, and continue the rope a little more......

The girl above agreed, stopped shouting, and the master and a few people immediately lit two torches and walked down the bottom of the cliff again.

After walking a short distance, the stone cave leading to the Rehmannia Valley appeared on the cliff wall. Everyone stopped at the entrance of the cave, and Xiao Laodao said to everyone: "Let's try this cave first, if it can't get through, go back to find that path." After speaking, Xiao Laodao held the torch with confidence and walked into the cave first.

Subsequently, everyone rushed in, turning around in the cave, after a while, everyone came to the exit, and saw that the outside suddenly opened up, and when they looked at it, not far away were small houses with sharp roofs like grain stacks, Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled when he saw this, turned his head and said to everyone: "Cheer up, immortality is already within reach!" ”

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Laodao, and he looked at Xiao Laodao's eyes at this time, it was 100% not an illusion, it was definitely Xiao Laodao himself! The master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone quickly got out of the cave, but before they could approach the dwarf village, the three old dwarves actually came out of the village, just the three of them, and there was no one around.

The old dwarf in the middle looked at the master and said: "This little brother really deserves his reputation, and when he raised his hand, he killed the three evil rats, and I am grateful to the old man." ”

Without waiting for the master to speak, Xiao Laodao said: "Three old immortals, let's not be polite, open the skylight and say something, dare to ask the three, the rope of Yashan was cut by you, right?" ”

The old dwarf on the left hurriedly bowed sixty degrees, "It was cut off by the old man, and I have to do it, and I hope that a few nobles will not be angry." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, glanced at the master, and seemed to say, look, I'm right.

Xiao Laodao said: "How can we be angry with you, not angry, but...... A few of us returned to the valley, and the three of us must have known what we were here for, right? ”

"Clear, clear." The old dwarf in the middle said, "If a few nobles can save our people from danger, what is the value of a little spring water, a few people, please come with us......"
