The old monster of the Purple Mountain doesn't seem to be able to walk easily (or he won't need crutches anymore), what means of transportation will he use to get there? Perhaps, you imagine some kind of divine beast and monster mount, or at least an all-powerful dragon, but such a legendary figure actually walked back on his three legs!

"Your home shouldn't be far away~~"

Tao Xiaozhi thought that for such an old man, if he walked back, it should be very close to home, but after walking for half an hour, he found that his idea was too naïve!

Strange old man is strange old man, what kind of thing can't be done!

The best answer to such an old man is not to answer.

Therefore, Tao Xiaozhi could only follow him.

I don't remember how many hills and rivers I have climbed, because it was all dark. However, the strange thing is that there seem to be many unknown beasts in the surrounding darkness, as long as they see the fire on the old man's crutch, they will avoid it from a distance, and hide in the darkness to watch, just like seeing the ghost fire! It seems that the old man still has a certain deterrent power.

"How long will it take to arrive?" Tao Xiaozhi couldn't help but want to know again.

The old man still didn't say anything, just walked until he came to a place that Tao Xiaozhi was relatively familiar with—the cave where he and Amu lived! What did the old man want to do when he brought him here?

The old man said, "Go in." ”

As soon as Tao Xiaozhi entered, he saw a friend he was relatively familiar with in the past few days - the monster that was neither a snake nor a dragon, a monster that almost killed him!

The old man said: "It's called the dragon worm, it's been a long time, say hello to it, but be careful of the fangs, give it a piercing but the gods can't save you...... The last time you just licked his tongue, he was going to soak in the turtle pond for so many days......"

Guilin Pond is also the so-called "pit", is this the name given to it by those "title parties"?

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why did you bring me to see it? You don't want to introduce it to me, do you......?"

The old man said, "Tonight...... No, before dawn, it's either you or it who walks out of this hole - of course you and it can stay in it if you don't want to go out......"

The meaning couldn't be more obvious: a man-beast war is about to begin!

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I'm not stupid, why fight with it?"

The old man said, "Don't you want to go and see your friends?"

The implication couldn't be more obvious.

The old man walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave, then turned back and said, "Remember, it must be over before dawn, or you will never find me, and you may not even see your friends." ”

The old man walked out of the cave and brought in a large rock (heavier than an elephant lifted it for him with ease, just like you pick up an apple) and blocked the hole!

The cave was not pitch black, with a dazzling red light, and the occasional fire erupting from the two small heads on its shoulders, accompanied by the sound of water droplets and heartbeats like dripping blood.

He had nothing on his hands - if anything, only cold sweat and fear! Or, a little bit of faith, but no faith! He had faced many such threats of death, but it was not that the feeling of death became numb, and each time it remained as fresh as it was the first time. This is a good thing, because every time he was able to break free from the god of death. But will he be able to escape this time? Or maybe you sweat for him!

Then, he took a deep breath - ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The old man lay down on the stone that blocked the entrance to the cave, and extinguished the fire of his crutches, for he wanted to admire the change of light in the sky before and after dawn, or if he wished, to climb a little higher to see the sunrise, than to let the newly formed droplets of water on the rock run behind him.

The sky gradually changed, and this process of change taught him to enjoy it so much that he almost forgot what he was about to do: by this time, the corner of the sky was already red, and the dawn had come!

He yawned, shook his head, sighed, and jumped down and started - "Old ghost, open the door!"

The old man was furious, and with a wave of his cane, he smashed the big stone, and the stone turned into tofu!!

"What a rude guy, is that what you call the old ghost?!"

Or, what you want to see is: Tao Xiaozhi is covered in blood or scars, ragged, exhausted and half-dead, but maybe a little disappointed or surprised, he is still the same as when he went in, he has not changed at all, and he still has that classic signature smile on his face!

Of course, the old man was surprised, and he even forgot the anger just now, as if he had another understanding of the person in front of him.

The old man looked out like a cave, but it was pitch black. Then he said, "You killed it?"

Tao Xiaozhi shook his head.

The old man said, "It killed you?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "Are you okay?"

The old man said, "You didn't kill her, it didn't kill you, what is this?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's nothing." ”

The old man said, "Are you kidding me?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Or it's a tie." ”

The old man said, "Oh?" was it surprise or question, or maybe he didn't even know it.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "And I became friends with it-"

"Friend?" said the old man, pouting his chin, "you mean, you tamed it?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You can also say that......"

The old man said, "I don't believe it!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Even I don't believe ...... myself"

The old man said: "It is an unruly fellow, one of the most difficult animals in the world to tame, except for me, there are not many people in the world who can tame it......"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I just said that I became friends with it." ”

The old man said, "Then let me see your friendship!"

Tao Xiaozhi whistled into the darkness, and then the dragon insect twisted his waist and came out, and the red light on his neck didn't even dare to emit the slightest, just like a child who had done something wrong was standing by his father's side!

What's wrong with it? Did you take the wrong medicine? Or did the old man think he had taken the wrong medicine?!

Tao Xiaozhi whistled again, pointed to its two little heads and said, "Spitfire!"

The two little heads immediately erupted two small tongues of fire, like two large candles, and almost burned the old man's beard!

"Friend, well done!" Tao Xiaozhi stroked the three heads one by one, if it wasn't too heavy, he still wanted to pick them up!

"Now you believe it, old ghost!" Tao Xiaozhi smirked.

The old man waved his cane, knocked Tao Xiaozhi's head violently, and said angrily: "Tell you not to be so rude!"

Then he said, "By the way, how did you tame it?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "I didn't tame it. ”

The old man said, "Of course I do! How did you become friends with him?"

"Hmmm......"

The old man tugged at Tao Xiaozhi's clothes like a child who wanted to listen to the story, begging bitterly! Why did his mood change so much, what a strange old man!

Tao Xiaozhi thought for a while and said, "Then can you do what you promised me?"

"What's the matter?"

"Take me to meet my friend. ”

"Of course!" said the old man, "taming it is much better than killing it, not everyone can be friends with dragon insects! You are so powerful, even if you don't say it, I will help you lead the way for free!"

"Okay, I'll tell you when I see my friend!"

"Okay, you walk slowly, slide ...... carefully"

“......”

"Can you reveal a little bit first, my brain is very flexible, and I can understand it at a point......

“......”
