Chapter 43: My Neighbor Totoro
If a person has been lonely for too long, and is still in a lifeless environment, when he suddenly sees a living creature, he will be very happy, and it is not an exaggeration to call the other person his relatives and friends, even if the other person is not human, it does not matter.
Wang Lung is like this, when he saw the four-pupiled chinchilla, the two seemed to be friends who had not seen each other for many years, Wang Lung couldn't wait to catch the four-pupil chinchilla in the palm of his hand, for fear that the other party would run away, and whether the four-pupiled chinchilla regarded him as a friend, Wang Lung didn't know, but he could see that the other party enjoyed his touch very much, and he didn't have much wariness of him.
This four-pupiled chinchilla does not pose any threat in Wang Long's eyes, in his memory, the four-pupiled chinchilla is a pet that many female cultivators like to keep in captivity, even if the other party can cultivate, its strength is only in the foundation building period, and the four-pupiled chinchilla that has reached the infant pill stage or above does not seem to have appeared in the classics.
It's just a pet, even if Wang Lung knows that the other party is made of crystal nucleus, he doesn't think it's a real demon beast, after all, in his cognition, not all demon beasts are aggressive, like the four-pupiled chinchilla There are many demon beasts that can be used as pets, just like ordinary people's cats and dogs, just a spiritual sustenance.
Once upon a time, Qing'er also wanted to raise a pet, for what kind of pet, Qing'er didn't care too much, whether it was a dog or a cat, Qing'er wanted to raise a few to play with her, but unfortunately Qing'er's wish never came true, and the reason was Wang Lung.
At the beginning, Qing'er once took in a stray dog, that was when the old ghost went out, a stray earth dog entered the bamboo sea, as if it was lost, just seen by Qing'er, the kind Qing'er took the stray dog in, but unfortunately a few days later, the old ghost came back from the field. As soon as I saw a dog infested, for some reason, that night, a plate of dog meat was placed on the table, for which Qing'er was sad for several days, and the old ghost was also very depressed.
Since then. Qing'er also raised chickens and ducks and other domestic animals at home, but unfortunately, the final outcome of those domestic animals was still on the table, and they still did not escape the poisonous hands of the old ghost, in fact, what Qing'er didn't know was that everything was not done by the old ghost, but the greedy Wang Lung secretly killed the dog and the chicken and duck, in Wang Lung's opinion, the old ghost didn't explain anyway. He was happy to see the other party carry the black pot, and when the old ghost was eating, he ate more than Wang Long, which was in line with the sentence, eating the shortest of others.
Wang Lung knew that Qing'er wanted to have a pet, but he never fulfilled that long-cherished wish, this time Wang Lung finally met the four-pupiled Totoro after being lonely for a long time, and the cute expression of the little guy made Wang Lung's love overflow. He felt that if he could get out. It would be a good gift to bring the four-pupiled chinchilla to Qing'er, after all, he and Qing'er had been separated for a long time, and they would be able to see each other soon after they went out, as for whether the experience could be passed or even continued, this question was naturally ignored by Wang Lung.
After playing with Totoro for a while, Wang Lung suddenly noticed a problem. He didn't have a storage spirit weapon for the spirit beast, and if he put the other party into his storage spirit weapon like this, he didn't know if the other party would be able to return to his original appearance after turning into a crystal nucleus, but if he ran around in this space with it, it would be somewhat inconvenient. It's okay if you don't do it with other demon beasts, but as soon as you start to do it, there is a chinchilla in your hand, which is somewhat troublesome, but he doesn't want to let go, in that case, the chinchilla will naturally leave, what gift to give to Qing'er at that time, thinking of Qing'er, Wang Lung thought of Xue Jiao again, it seems that there should not be only one gift to prepare.
Anyway, take Totoro with him first, if it really doesn't work, then let the other party go, and along the way, he can try to cultivate a relationship with Totoro, if the other party no longer leaves his side, when in danger, he can also rest assured to put Totoro aside, as for Totoro will encounter danger, Wang Lung didn't care, after all, he came to this space, and he hasn't seen the demon beasts transformed by the crystal nucleus will kill each other.
Holding the four-pupiled chinchilla in the palm of his hand, Wang Lung set off again, this time he did not enter the Red Flame Tree Forest in front of him, God knows how big this forest is, if he hadn't chased the strange snake last time, I think that forest would probably not be able to turn out for a while and a half.
In Wang Lung's opinion, this forest is very likely to be connected with the forest he entered, such a large area of forest is the first time he has encountered here, although he did not see the fog, but he had this idea in his heart, entering it was completely unable to see the front and no sense of direction, Wang Lung naturally did not want to try again, he decided to move along the edge of the forest, one is to see how big this forest is, and the other is to see if he can find the trace of the strange snake again.
To tell the truth, since he woke up, he has already decided in his heart that it may be difficult to find the strange snake, if he does not leave the grassland, there is still hope, but now he doesn't know where the grassland is, not to mention that this space is unimaginable, with the distance he has run, at least dozens of the size of the earth, with his own strength to find the trace of the strange snake, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
If you can't find the strange snake, there is no hope of going out, but Wang Lung doesn't quite think so, the current time has long exceeded Arlinn's deadline, maybe they won't find themselves in a year, but what about ten years, Wang Lung doesn't believe that the old ghost can sit still, and there is no danger in coming to the Pure Land by himself, this is what Arlinn said, and he also stipulates half a year, if he doesn't return to Earth for a long time, it will definitely cause the speculation of those guardians, after a long time, maybe the old ghost can't appear directly in the Pure Land, what about their parents, their ancestors, they won't watch themselves trappedγ
Go out, you must be able to get out, it's just a matter of time, as for the success or failure of the experience, just let it go, even if it fails, Wang Lung believes that as long as he succeeds in building the foundation, he can enter the miracle space, and the final result is the same, although it is a pity to do that, but this is also a matter of no way, who let him be trapped.
It's long, it's long, it's impossible to describe how long this forest is, because Wang Lung didn't enter the interior of the forest, he didn't know how deep the forest was, he just followed the edge of the forest on the periphery, and this was the conclusion he came to after walking for a month, if you count the distance, the length of this forest can circle the earth twice, and there is no end in sight.
During this time, Wang Lung not only did not encounter too much trouble, but also became friends with the four-pupil chinchilla, and the other party had accepted him as the master, and when Wang Lung fought with other demon beasts, the four-pupil chinchilla would obediently stay aside and watch.
It's a good start. At least Wang Lung himself thinks that being able to give a four-pupiled chinchilla to Qing'er will definitely make Xiao Nizi happy for a long time, as for Xue Jiao's gift, I'm afraid I have to look for it slowly, but Wang Lung doesn't have much confidence that he will find a suitable gift. He still doesn't know what Xue Jiao likes, and he can't even fully confirm whether Xue Jiao likes him or not.
Falling in love is a matter of both parties, in Wang Lung's opinion, it is right that he likes Xue Jiao, he really wants Xue Jiao to marry him, but what does Xue Jiao mean, Wang Lung has never asked, Xue Jiao has never expressed, it turns out that Wang Lung is still worried about his age. will become an old virgin, but as his strength enters the period of enlightenment, after having a thousand years of life, he finds that compared with the age of a thousand years old, he seems to be a child.
Xue Jiao wants to marry, Qing'er will definitely not be left behind, as for Qing'er's thoughts. Wang Lung never worried, as long as he hooked his fingers. Qing'er can't wait to post it to him, this is not Wang Long's arrogance, but there is no doubt about it.
After a month of getting along with the four-pupiled chinchilla, Wang Lung finally knew what the strength of the other party was, this four-pupiled chinchilla had not yet reached the level of a cultivator, but it was also stronger than him. It is estimated that the cultivation is in the late stage of comprehension, but the aggression is negligible.
If the demon beasts in this space determine their strength based on the size of the crystal nucleus, then the crystal nucleus of the four-pupiled chinchilla is estimated to be smaller than the crystal nucleus of the fire spirit beasts he collected, after all, the strength of those fire spirit beasts has reached the foundation building stage, these are Wang Lung's own guesses. The crystal nucleus in the body of the four-pupiled chinchilla cannot be seen with the naked eye alone, and the appearance of the other party is no different from the four-pupiled chinchilla, if it is not in this space, put it in the miracle space or the holy source system, it is the four-pupiled chinchilla.
It's a pity that even if the illusion is re-like, its body is not the four-pupil chinchilla, in terms of spiritual wisdom alone, the four-pupiled chinchilla in Wang Long's hand and the real four-pupiled chinchilla can not be compared, according to the classics, although the four-pupiled chinchilla's cultivation will not be too high, but the spiritual intelligence is very high, after reaching the foundation period, can understand the words of the person and complete the master's instructions, if the owner is not in a good mood, the four-pupiled chinchilla will also comfort the owner in his own way, that is a very spiritual pet, is one of the pets that many female cultivators like to keep in captivity.
Although the four-pupiled chinchilla does not have the strength to attack, but it can become a cultivator also has certain special features, the most significant feature is its eyes, if the cultivation is lower than the four-pupil chinchilla, if you are not careful, you will fall into the illusion released by the other party, although the illusion is not very powerful, it is easy to be broken, but the price of a loss of mind is unbearable for a cultivator, and it is very cute, in the eyes of most cultivators, it does not pose any threat.
In Wang Lung's opinion, even if the four-pupiled chinchilla reaches the strength of a cultivator, the other party is not a real entity, and whether he can release the illusion is still between the two, for him, the four-pupiled chinchilla in his hand is purely a pet.
At this time, Wang Lung was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, the four-pupiled chinchilla was obediently curled up in his arms, not far from Wang Lung's side, there was an endless forest of red flame trees, he walked for more than a month, and still did not reach the end of the forest, from the beginning to the present, he has not stopped to rest, he is not an iron man, and now his physical strength has long been unbearable, and he is meditating and recovering.
Suddenly, Wang Lung's closed eyes opened at once, and the four-pupiled chinchilla in his arms seemed to know his master's thoughts, and at the same time that Wang Lung opened his eyes, the four-pupiled chinchilla also raised his head, but it did not look at Wang Lung, but looked up at the sky.
The originally calm and waveless sky, although it was still hazy, but the pale red haze began to roll slowly, as if guided to roll in one direction, the speed was not fast, even slower than the clouds on the earth by half a minute, but it brought a huge shock to Wang Lung.
What the hell is going on, why has the sky changed, he has been here for more than a year, and the calm sky has never moved, like a pool of stagnant water, but now it is the opposite, is there a demon beast advanced?
Such a change Wang Lung can only guess at the advancement of demon beasts, after all, he doesn't know much about this place, don't look at it for more than a year, but he hasn't been able to explore the edge of this space, there are many unknown things he is not familiar with, causing changes in the heavens, it has been recorded in the classics, most of them are caused by the promotion of cultivators, treasures or other reasons, it can be said that there are very few.
Seeing that the direction of the rolling fog in the sky was the direction he was going to go, Wang Lung looked at it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, so he didn't pay attention anymore, looking at the speed of the rolling clouds overhead, the location that caused this celestial phenomenon was estimated to be far away from him, even if he went at full speed, he might not be able to catch up, not to mention what if he arrived, in case it was a dangerous place, wouldn't he be in a trap.
People have curiosity, Wang Lung is no exception, he should continue to meditate to recover his strength, but after the celestial anomaly, his mentality could not calm down, so he had to give up, fortunately, although his physical strength at this time was not exhausted, but it had also recovered eighty percent, and the direction where the celestial anomaly was located was exactly the direction he was heading, so he decided to continue to walk in that direction, it was good to be able to see it in the distance, even if he couldn't see it, he didn't force it, he was worried about it, and he was worried about his own safety, very Mao Dun's psychology.
What Wang Lung didn't know was that this celestial phenomenon was not generated by this space itself, but by external factors, and it was the masterpiece of Firefly Birch and Huang Yan.
Outside the space, inside the Tianyang Spring, the firefly birch was lying calmly in the Tianyang Spring, and Huang Yan was beside it, looking at the situation, the two of them seemed to be ready, and they would release Wang Lung at any time, but looking at Huang Yan's expression, he was still worried.
Seeing that Huang Yan didn't make a move, Firefly opened his eyes and said: "The eldest brother asked the younger brother to wait quietly in Tianyang Spring for a day, thinking that during this time, the eldest brother has already contacted the master, since the eldest brother came over and didn't say anything, it seems that the master didn't say anything, it should be acquiescing to the younger brother doing this, what else does the eldest brother have to worry about." β
Huang Yan sighed lightly and said: "Yes, when you left yesterday, I had already contacted the master and his wife, but I haven't received a reply until now, I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong, it should be the master They are having something important, and they can't be separated for a while, or you wait, brother, wait for the master to reply, if the master allows, the brother will not stop you." β
Firefly said: "Big brother, why deceive yourself, with the magical powers of the master and his wife, there are a few people in the miracle space who can trap them, you tell the master about this, even if it is an important matter, the master will definitely let you drag me before he can make a final decision, and now the master has not replied, it's just that it's not good to make a choice, don't let the master be embarrassed." β
Looking at Firefly's firm face, Huang Yan sighed and said, "Okay, I hope your decision is right, but the ugly words are ahead, everything I said yesterday, you have to listen to me, and you can't take risks." β
Hotaru nodded and said, "Don't worry, my own life is clear in my heart." Seeing Huang Yan nodding, Hotaru continued: "Let's start, I have already let go of my divine sense just now, you can ban it." (To be continued......)
