Chapter 31: Flying Rats
Not long ago, Qi Jingzhi peeled off the tiger skin with a bull's ear sharp knife, dried it on the stone steps in front of the palace, and pressed it with fried life.
This knife is contaminated with some divine power, and it can also have a suppressive effect in case the ghost boy goes and returns, or if the tiger skin suddenly behaves.
But now, the knife actually moved on its own, as if someone had gently lifted the hilt and was moving the blade little by little.
As the young man's gaze passed, the blade of the fried life suddenly slammed, and then it floated up in the air, flying towards the platform above the steps.
Qi Jingzhi stood up suddenly, jumped up the stone steps in a few steps, and pulled out the ox ear sharp knife while jumping upward.
At the same time, there was a sudden loud wind above his head.
As soon as Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes, he saw half of the tiger legs that had been gnawed and pitted first, and flew over with a roar, crashing straight into the direction where the fried life was located.
The momentum of this half of the tiger's legs was too fierce and vicious, and the fried man who was hanging in the air suddenly paused, and then the blade of the knife was horizontal, as if to intercept it.
In the next moment, only a bang was heard, and the tiger's leg smashed firmly into the knife.
The blade of the fried life was first bent, and then it flew out diagonally with a whirl, and nailed to the beam above the temple door with a bang.
Qi Jingzhi was the closest, and he clearly heard an imperceptible snort in his ears.
He immediately followed the direction of the sound and threw the ox-eared knife without hesitation.
"Uncle spare his life!"
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, rolled on the spot in embarrassment, and narrowly avoided the bull's ear knife.
Before he could stand up, the figure was stomped on his chest by Qi Jingyi, and his head slammed back to the ground with a thud.
Qi Jingzhi looked down and found that the person under his feet was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old baby, who looked pink and jade, and the surprise on his face was still gone.
This little baby blocked a powerful tiger leg, and was almost stabbed by a knife, but like a person who had nothing to do, he shouted angrily: "Uncle spare your life!" The little ones don't dare anymore! ”
Although he begged loudly for mercy, he did not make the slightest struggle with great interest, and a pair of big bright eyes wandered around, carefully observing Qi Jingzhi's face and the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi sneered, refused to relax the strength on his feet, and scolded: "You are not very old, but you are not too bold, you dare to steal under the nose of the master!" Honestly, but there are still comrades? ”
"It's gone, the villain is lonely, he went into the mountains to pick a few wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, but somehow he got lost, and he crashed into the uncle's house. All the mistakes are the villain's fault, but the villain doesn't have a few taels of meat all over his body, and he chews very toothy, uncle, don't eat me! ”
Listening to what he said, the more unpleasant he became, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning and said: "What a mess, I don't know how to eat people, and this is not my home." ”
The little baby on the ground was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the tall and vicious old man not far away, turned back to the young man's face, and asked in a somewhat hesitant tone: "You really don't eat people?" ”
Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt that he was laughing and laughing, and the anger that had just risen in his heart dissipated most of it.
He retracted the foot that was stepping on the little baby and warned: "I don't say that you should also know, with that senior here, with your little skill, you will definitely not be able to run!" ”
"Don't dare to run! Don't dare to run! ”
The little baby answered, got up numbly, patted the dust on his body, and said very familiarly: "The little brother's name is Jiao Yulang, and his friends in the rivers and lakes love him, and he has the name of a flying mouse." What is my brother's name? ”
"Which one is your brother? You're going to climb the pole! ”
Qi Jingzhi jumped up, pulled the fried life from the beam, picked up the ox ear sharp knife, and finally pointed to the bonfire under the stone steps: "Let's go there and talk." ”
Jiao Yulang looked at Lao Xiao, who was sitting by the campfire, and still asked with some uncertainty: "You really don't want to eat me?" ”
Qi Jingzhi snorted and said angrily: "The meat at noon is enough, I'll see it at night!" ”
Hearing him say this, Jiao Yulang was not afraid, and immediately held his head high and walked majestically down the stone steps.
The little baby took two steps, and when he saw that Qi Jingzhi didn't follow, he was deflated again.
He stopped and turned around, smiled, and said respectfully, "Brother first, please!" ”
Qi Jingzhi didn't answer, just stared at him motionlessly.
Seeing this, Jiao Yulang's little face collapsed, and he no longer dared to bargain, so he moved towards the bonfire step by step.
Lao Xiao didn't even look at the little baby, but was learning the previous Qi Jingzhi's barbecue movements, gently flicking the tiger's leg with one finger, and his expression was also extremely focused.
Qi Jingzhi took Jiao Yulang to sit down by the bonfire, stared at him and said, "I won't hide it from you, this senior is on an errand under the mountain god seat here." Since you know some ways of cultivation, you should know the truth that ghosts and gods are difficult to deceive. Let's talk about it, how to get into the mountain? How can I find here? And why steal? ”
Hearing this, Jiao Yulang immediately looked puzzled, and instead of answering, he asked, "Mountain God? There is no mountain god in the whole Linshan Mountain? Komatsu Mountain is also a lineage of Lin Mountain, how can there be a mountain god? ”
Old Xiao Deng turned his head and glared at the little baby with a pair of strange eyes.
Jiao Yulang was excited, and said in his heart: "I know!" The old-timer's hair is gray, presumably the longevity is extremely long, and he must be the god of the old man of the mountain god! ”
Lao Xiao grinned, turned his head again, and continued to concentrate on roasting the meat.
Jiao Yulang shrunk his neck, and immediately explained: "Don't hide it from my brother, the younger brother can get the name of the flying mouse, firstly, he knows how to hide his body, and he never leaves a trace when robbing the rich and helping the poor, outsiders don't know, and they think I can fly." ”
"Second, the little brother is the best at treasure hunting, regardless of whether it is hidden in the wall, or buried in the ground, once the little brother arrives, he will be able to dig it out, and this mouse word comes from this."
When it comes to stealing and digging holes, this little baby is getting more and more proud, and his face is full of pride.
Qi Jingzhi heard it in his ears, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
Jiao Yulang saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly put his little face on the board, and said solemnly: "The little brother has always only stolen rich and unkind people, or he is looking for those ownerless wealth to spend, this time I entered the mountain, and I also heard that Xiaosong Mountain has good feng shui, and there are many ancient tombs in the mountain, so I came in to try my luck." ”
Qi Jingzhi pointed at himself and sneered: "Only steal for the rich and unkind? ”
Jiao Yulang smiled embarrassedly, and said weakly: "This deep mountain and wild temple, full of blood, the younger brother only treats the elder brother as a human ......."
Qi Jingzhi froze when he heard this, and after thinking about the scene in front of him carefully, he couldn't refute it for a while.
He simply skipped this section and said in a deep voice: "Don't mention this first, and then explain your own affairs!" ”
"Yes! The younger brother also found this ancient temple by mistake, and immediately had a whim, knowing that there must be a treasure in the temple. I searched for a long time by myself, and unfortunately I saw my brother and this old-timer, as well as ...... Brother's sword. ”
When he said these words, Jiao Yulang had a rare clear eyes and a sincere face: "The younger brother was blind, thinking that his brother was not a human, and he said in his heart at that time, how could such a treasure fall into the hands of aliens?" Only then did he risk his life to steal his brother's sword. ”
Qi Jingzhi looked at it coldly, and felt that this little baby didn't look like a clever deception, so he immediately nodded and said strangely: "This knife looks nothing more than a better ornament and a sharper blade, how can you conclude that it is a treasure and are willing to take a great risk to steal it?" ”
At this time, Jiao Yulang was a little strange: "Brother doesn't know, this knife is obviously an extremely precious spirit pattern ancient weapon?" ”
Qi Jingzhi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I haven't been on the path of cultivation for a long time, and I really don't know. ”
Jiao Yulang was even more surprised: "When my brother chased after me, his body was so fast, like a bird predatoring, and his fists and feet were also powerful, even if he didn't use thaumaturgical secret methods, he could make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes with martial arts cultivation alone." It's only been a long time since I practiced...... Is that three or five years? ”
When it came to the four words of thaumaturgical secret methods, the little baby couldn't help but glance at Qi Jingzhi's left hand cuff.
Qi Jingzhi saw it in his eyes and shook his head quietly: "I haven't been practicing for less than a month. ”
Hearing this, Jiao Yulang, whose eyes were confused, raised his head suddenly, already dumbfounded.
