Chapter 32: Three Gambles 9
Madame Grenade untied Zuo Kui's collar and gently stroked his neck.
There was a terrible scar, as if it had been cut off and rejoined.
"I thought I was going to exist for it." Madame Grenade stroked her scar and muttered, "Things in the world are really unpredictable. ”
Zuo Kui suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her with a frown.
He stared intently at Madame Grenade as if he wanted to penetrate her with his gaze.
Madame Grenade touched his forehead and rubbed it gently, trying to smooth his brow.
"Don't think about it." Lady Grenade said, "When you think of me, you will lose your current self." ”
"Don't you have an obsession? You don't want me to think of you? ”
Madame Grenade smiled, sat up, and strolled around the main hall.
"I've been here for thousands of years, and I've had confusion, longing, sorrow, resentment, all the emotions you can think of. Trapped by love, unable to extricate himself. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the door of the main hall, as if the light shining in from outside made her feel comfortable.
"When you've been through it long enough, you're going to get tired. Love and hate sink into the depths of the sea, and you are left with only the most primal longings and the transcendence that comes from thinking about the root of everything. ”
Mrs. Durian looked back at Zuo Kui, and the sadness between her eyebrows was heartbreaking.
But Zuo Kui couldn't feel his heart.
His head began to ache and get worse, and seemed to be about to crack.
Mrs. Grenade looked at her with sadness in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand to Zuo Kui and said, "Let's go." ”
Zuo Kui's head hurt so much that he couldn't think, and he tried to endure the pain and grabbed Mrs. Grenade's hand.
Mrs. Grenade took Zuo Kui by the hand and opened the door.
The attendants bowed, and no one looked up.
Madame Grenade stretched out her feet and stepped into the air, as if there was an invisible staircase there.
Zuo Kui followed her, and the two ran into the air.
The red clouds in the sky rained down a huge rainbow light, and Mrs. Grenade and Zuo Kui ran into the air to meet the light, rising higher and higher.
"Keep walking, and you're ready to go."
Lady Grenade pointed to the end of the light, her voice ethereal.
"Don't stop, or you won't be able to get out."
Zuo Kui listened and looked back at the floating island.
Everything is crumbling and shattering, like a castle made of sand by the sea, swept away by the waves.
Zuo Kui picked up Mrs. Grenade and ran towards the light.
Madame Grenade looked at his cheek and laughed again. Teardrops fell through the clouds and were illuminated golden.
"It's wonderful."
She stroked Zuo Kui's cheek and rested her head on his chest.
Zuo Kui stared and rushed towards the end of Guanghua, as fast as lightning.
The bonsai of the entire Durian Volcano Village exploded, and fragments of plants and soil flew in all directions, splashing Mrs. Mao's shop into a mess and filling the air with smoke.
People waiting outside took refuge.
A flame also splashed out of the bonsai and exploded in the air.
Zuo Kui jumped out of the firelight, causing a burst of exclamations around him.
He opened his eyes and slowly opened his palm.
There was a drop of jade there, crystal clear, red as fire, magnificent as a peerless beauty.
But Zuo Kui felt that it was more like a coagulated blood and tears, containing a thousand-year-old love that he didn't know.
Ignoring her messy storefront, Mrs. Mao rushed over excitedly and snatched the jade from Zuo Kui's hand.
She looked greedily at the jade, her eyes flashing green.
"Good! Good! can actually get the pomegranate fruit, worthy of the boss of the left! ”
Elder Mao laughed and said in a shrill voice.
Zuo Kui looked at her, frowning and silent.
"Please ask Mrs. Mao to come up with the third question." Zuo Kui said, interrupting Mrs. Mao's forgetfulness.
Mrs. Mao came back to her senses and sneered at Zuo Kui again. She took the jade in her arms and said:
"The third question is even simpler."
Mrs. Mao walked behind the counter, into the back room, and came out after a long time.
She held a petite coffin in her hand. The coffin is transparent, apparently a sub-crystal coffin.
Inside was a black cat that was as stiff as death. With its mouth open and its tongue out, it fell on its side in the crystal coffin, motionless.
Si Chen saw it and was taken aback.
Although it was a long time, he still recognized that this was the black cat he had fought against when he met Zuo Kui for the second time.
"Just ask Boss Zuo to help my son wake up." Mrs. Mao said.
There was another uproar in the crowd.
A boss in the front row hugged Zuo Kui and said loudly:
"Mrs. Mao, your son obviously failed to survive the calamity, so his cultivation was lost. As long as you absorb the essence of the sun for a few more days, you will naturally be able to return to the roots. If you let Boss Zuo save him now, wouldn't you want to force Boss Zuo's cultivation? ”
Mrs. Mao snorted coldly and said, "My son suffered such an ordeal, isn't it because Boss Zuo is not considerate?" ”
After a pause, she smiled sadly again: "Boss Zuo can also refuse, and I didn't force you, did I?" ”
Zuo Kui fell silent again.
This silence lasted much longer than the previous ones.
There was a lot of talk in the crowd. Mrs. Mao looked disdainful and ignored them completely.
Finally, Zuo Kui stood up straight.
The whites of his eyes vanished suddenly, and corpse qi came out of his seven orifices. The wind blew around him, rolling up the corpse's qi.
The corpse qi seemed to be conscious, and all of it gathered in front of Zuo Kui, condensed at one point.
That little bit gradually grew larger, and it became a clear black jade bead. The color of the jade beads is brilliant and exquisite.
Zuo Kui picked up the black cat and opened his mouth. He took a deep breath and blew the jade bead into the black cat's mouth.
What was amazing was that the brilliance of the jade bead was actually able to penetrate the black cat's body.
Everyone watched as the glorious outline of the jade bead walked through the black cat's body, slowly entering the abdomen from the throat.
The jade bead stopped in the belly of the black cat, slowly turning in a circle.
After a few moments, the black cat's body began to tremble. Finally, it opened its eyes, coughed violently, and squirted out the jade beads.
The jade bead dispersed into black qi and returned to Zuo Kui's body.
Zuo Kui's eyes returned to their original state. His body shook a little, and he barely stood against the wall, panting lightly.
The black cat also gasped, and it looked at everything around it, as if it was a little dazed.
Mrs. Mao picked up the black cat and burst into tears with excitement.
"Ahhh You're awake! Mother is almost worried about you! ”
Mrs. Mao said, took out the grenade fruit from her arms, and handed it to the black cat.
"Quick! This is the Grenade Fruit, what is the result of hundreds of years of cultivation after eating it? ”
The black cat looked at the grenade fruit, then at Mrs. Mao, and suddenly chuckled.
It grabbed the pomegranate fruit and jumped out of Mrs. Mao's arms.
Everyone was taken aback.
The black cat walked up to Zuo Kui and looked up at him.
Zuo Kui hesitated for a moment and took the pomegranate fruit.
Mrs. Mao saw it and roared like crazy:
"Little cub! What the fuck are you doing?! How much effort did the old lady waste to ...... for you?"
"Shut up!"
The black cat let out a loud shout, causing everyone to tremble.
Even Mrs. Mao froze.
"I'm sorry for your trouble, Mr. Zuo."
The black cat bowed deeply to Zuo Kui and prostrate on the ground.
