Chapter 70: Second Senior Brother
It turns out that many of the rumors are deceptive, such as...... The back pond in the palace of the city lord of Huanglong City.
Zhao Yan, who successfully knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion and received a courteous reception, threw more than a dozen stones of different sizes into the pond one after another, but except for being splashed on his face, he didn't see any other bullshit.
"Second Uncle Zhao, how can you believe that boring rumor? If this pond is really as magical as the legend, it must have already been filled with stones, where can you wait for Second Uncle Zhao to come?"
Chu Chengyuan, who was swept out of Langhuan's Mansion and will follow Zhao Yan from now on, said so.
"Nonsense, if someone throws it into the water, can't someone fish it out?
Zhao Yan seemed to be very reasonable about this, but in fact, if he thought about it carefully, he naturally couldn't believe it, so he casually picked out Chu Chengyuan's flaws.
"Second Uncle Zhao, what does this matter have to do with crows drinking water?"
This Chu Chengyuan is a good boy who is studious and inquisitive.
"Is this...... Actually, it's an allusion, or a little fable. Said that once a thirsty crow accidentally found a bottle with half a bottle of water, and after finding that he couldn't drink it even if he tried his best to probe in, the crow crow cleverly thought of throwing a stone into the water bottle to make the water gradually rise to drink water, but sadly, the poor crow eventually died. β
Zhao Yan's anti-soul chicken soup skill was released again, and he casually adapted the originally inspirational crow drinking water into a dark story.
"What are you for, Second Young Master? Didn't the crow already think of a way to raise the water level in the bottle with a stone?
Another curious baby. The little maid named Xia Hua couldn't help but questioned it.
"What does Cheng Yuan think is the reason?"
Zhao Yan asked the newcomer. Trying to get closer to Chu Chengyuan in this way. And by the way, we will investigate the thinking ability of others.
"Did the crow collapse from hunger and thirst before the water rose to the surface of the water?"
Chu Chengyuan replied.
"It's a pity that the answer was wrong. Zhao Yan crossed mercilessly, and then announced the standard answer: "Because halfway through, the crow was surprised to find that the place where it was holding the stone was the sandy land by the river of a rushing river, so this crow died because of excessive shame, vomiting blood and hatred." β
"Poofβ"
It was Jiang Xinyue who made this strange sound.
No way. It was really Zhao Yan's "ending with hatred" epilogue, which made Jiang Xinyue can't help but think that what I heard some time ago was said to have spread out of Song Shizhang, but the original author is indeed the story of Zhao Yan's blacksmith father who died with hatred.
"The second uncle really tactfully warned the little nephew, don't just stare at a corner of things, but look at the overall situation?"
Chu Chengyuan, who didn't know the story of the blacksmith's father who ended up with hatred, asked thoughtfully.
"You can understand it this way, after all, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand ...... Monkey King. β
Zhao Yan shrugged his shoulders. Then he almost slipped out, after all, he didn't plan to "adapt" foreign masterpieces, and the reason was very simple, because it was too troublesome.
"What's the Monkey King of a thousand? Isn't the Great Sage Grandpa only seventy-two changing? Grandpa Dasheng can also pluck monkey hair......"
As soon as Monkey King was mentioned, Sun Tianyang, a fanatical fan of Monkey King who regarded him as an idol, suddenly came to his senses.
"Incisive!"
Chu Chengyuan praised loudly. He didn't find Zhao Yan's flaws, but just because Zhao Yan's sentence looked ordinary. But under the careful tasting, it is full of philosophical words and admiration.
Young Master Ben should reply, "What's incisive, this is a fart!" Then come to the philosophical words that the money is not spent when the person dies, and the person who is not dead after the money is spent, so that the prestige of Young Master Ben in the heart of this child can reach worship?
Forget it, anyway, the prestige worship is also looking for a quartermaster in the place, buying a thousand gold horses or somersault clouds.
So Zhao Yan didn't squeak in the end, but accepted Chu Chengyuan's praise calmly.
"Erlang, it's a little late, we should set off to rush back to Shilipo. β
Jiang Xinyue looked up at the red-filled sky, and then suggested.
"Second Uncle Zhao......"
Chu Chengyuan also wanted to say something more.
"Shhhhh Remember the boy, call me from now on, call me...... Master. β
This Chu Chengyuan, in the future, is going to follow this young master, learn all kinds of knowledge, as well as the transformed outlook on life and the world, let him call the master, but it is also natural.
Zhao Yan thought so.
"Master, is this kid my second senior brother of Lao Sun?" Sun Tianyang looked Chu Chengyuan up and down, and then pursed his lips with a little disdain: "Cut, it's really the second senior brother, although he has finally changed his appearance now, he is weak, and even you are not as good as you, Master." β
Zhao Yan glared at Sun Tianyang, this mouthpiece ability to pull hatred is simply increasing day by day.
Moreover, even if you are a veteran Journey to the West fan, you can't bring it so deeply!
"The little nephew obeyed. β
It was Chu Chengyuan who bowed and accepted Zhao Yan's suggestion, and set the status of master and apprentice with Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan nodded, and took the lead in walking towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone naturally hurried to follow, and after Zhao Yan threw stones many times, there was no vision of the back pond, and everyone abandoned it without hesitation.
As a result, no one saw that when Zhao Yan and his party stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, the back pond, which had already been calm, suddenly rippled round after circle.
In the center of the rippling ripples, the back of a girl sitting on the grass appeared from blur to clarity.
The back of the girl in this pond did not wear even the slightest bit of clothing, but unreservedly showed her white and tender skin that could be broken like mutton fat jade, as well as the youthful breath that came to her face.
The most eye-catching thing is in the girl's vest. It was a crimson dragon with a stripe that saw the head and tail in the clouds, but had two huge wings.
If you look closely. You can even see that above the head of the crimson Ying Dragon, there is a lupine scarf sitting cross-legged. There is also a leisurely young man leaning on a long sword beside him.
If Zhao Yan could see that sword, he would be surprised to find the sword tattooed on the girl's back and the Eight Desolations Exorcism Sword he had...... Same!
The tattoo on the back is too realistic and eye-catching, so even if anyone really sees this scene, they won't notice it anymore - among the girl's long loose hair, there are suddenly two small sharp horns, poking out like a newborn lotus.
This girl is not human.
Then, the reflection in the water exists for about ten seconds. Gradually blurred and eventually idle, and the rippling blue waves on the water surface also returned to tranquility.
......
Fortunately, in the back pond of the city lord's mansion, it didn't take too long, and Zhao Yan and his party finally rushed out of Huanglong City before the city gate was closed.
"Forty miles away, I don't know if Lu Dao can return to Shilipo before the moon climbs into the sky. β
Amid the creaking closing of the city gate, Zhao Yan looked in the direction of Shilipo. A little expression of concern.
"Master, don't be afraid, with my grandson here, even if thousands of demons and ghosts run out to walk at night, they will never let them damage half of your hair, master!"
Sun Tianyang patted his chest. The mighty posture of the great sage in his mind was expressed ten out of ten.
"In a peaceful and prosperous world, where are there so many demons and monsters. β
Chu Chengyuan, a new tenant. Adhering to the spirit of Zi Bu silent, strange and chaotic, he was alarmist about Sun Tianyang. Doubts were expressed.
"Hey, second junior brother, you've changed your appearance. Have you forgotten the things in the mountains and wilderness? There are indeed very few big demons with demon pills, and those little demons who only know how to drink blood, eat and drink dew are not as many as they want!"
Sun Tianyang scoffed at Chu Chengyuan's questioning, as a senior old monster, it had too much say in this kind of thing.
Don't talk about other places, but it's just that on the Songhai Mountain, where Sun Tian has stayed for more than 100 or 200 years, the number of monsters and monsters is not more than thousands?
It's just that, just like Sun Tianyang said, most of them are little demons who can't speak human words, and there are really not many big monsters with strength like him.
And ordinary little monsters, in the eyes of humans, are just smarter and stronger beasts, of course, they can also be called psychic beasts.
"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, our demon clan just doesn't want to make it difficult with others, otherwise as long as we assemble, who can stop it? Do you want to turn into dung?"
Sun Tianyang said to Chu Chengyuan in a threatening tone.
"This world is already the world of the human race! The monsters, gods and demons are offending our human race, but they are just going against the sky, even if they are rampant for a while, they will eventually end up in a dead end, no matter how many there are, why should they be afraid? Can they surpass the thousands of people of our human race?"
Chu Chengyuan is a young man after all, so he couldn't help but argue fiercely, and revealed his tendencies to be the same, this kid is clearly a chauvinist of the adult race.
"Ten thousand people are a fart! You kid, haven't you seen those really powerful monsters, they can swallow three or five hundred people in one bite, and ten thousand people are enough to eat for a few days? Even if it is my old grandson, if I initiate sex to eat people, hehe...... "Sun Tianyang has already scanned Chu Chengyuan, and then continued to intimidate the children: "Boy, just like you, my old grandson can eat one and a half in one meal!"
"Monkey, you dare to speak so loudly, but it's just because you haven't seen the real powerhouse in my human race! The so-called powerful monsters you are talking about can stop the martial saints and martial immortals a few times? Moreover, at the beginning of the "Journey to the West" written by the master, it was said that the Yellow Emperor was a Jedi Tiantong and brought some of the strong people of the human race to heaven, if the demon clan dared to brazenly start a war against the human race, did you ever think that the heavenly court would react?"
Chu Chengyuan's debating ability is quite good, not to mention the proficiency of attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and even the "Jedi Tiantong" with Zhao Yan as the background of Journey to the West when he opened his mouth is also regarded as the basic plate for the human race to stabilize the demon race.
"Hmph, who said that the Heavenly Court is the exclusive respect of the human race? The great sage of our demon clan, there are still countless officials in the heavenly court!
Speaking of using "Journey to the West" as an argument, Sun Tianyang is naturally not afraid, although his research on Journey to the West and the gods in Journey to the West is superficial, it may not lose to Chu Chengyuan.
Who said that Nuwa Niangniang is a demon ancestor, when Nuwa Niangniang first created people, she was made of water according to her own appearance, don't you understand what this means?"
Chu Chengyuan retorted.
"Ha, you kid is really not small, you dare to fight with my grandson for this kind of thing, aren't you afraid that Nuwa Niangniang will cut it down and kill you, a bad descendant? Remember, Master's Journey to the West clearly states that Nuwa Niangniang is a human body snake tail! What does a human body snake tail mean, um?
Sun Tianyang was furious, he began to bare his teeth, and squatted on the ground with his pirated golden hoop stick.
"Who told you that the human body is a demon? Nuwa Niangniang is called a human ancestor in the book, don't believe it, go back and find this "Journey to the West" yourself!"
Chu Chengyuan straightened his small body, looking like he was going to fight Sun Tianyang to the end.
"Ah, what a harmonious sceneβ"
Zhao Yan, who was sitting sideways in the carriage, changed to a more comfortable position, and hummed the melody of Ode to Joy through the window lightly.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at Zhao Yan, who was listening with her ears sideways, and almost added fuel to the fire, and then shook her head helplessly.
Jiang Xinyue didn't notice that the originally bright and bright moon was unconsciously covered with a layer of shadows, and a colored aura of ultraviolet red appeared around it, and finally turned into a hazy and weird hairy moon. (To be continued......)
