CHAPTER XXXVII
Jialan couldn't believe that the mandrills, who were still poisoned by dung and stones, would have the ability to compete with the mountain ghost clan. The mountain ghosts now have more than ten times more people than the mountain mandrills, how can they have the confidence to fight with the mountain ghosts?
She thought for a moment and asked, "The mandrill has fallen and its spiritual power is weak, but the mountain ghost is in its prime. How do I know if you are lying to me so that I can lift the curse for you. 】
[Even if the mandrill falls, the mandrill still moves quickly, even if the mandrill can only use a very small amount of spiritual power, the mandrill still has the ability to kill half or even the entire clan of mountain ghosts. Mandrills can only poison but impaired intelligence now, and if you can't help, we can't betray our own people, and then it's not just about using poison. 】
Jialan was still a little skeptical about the truth of Huai Demon's words, but it was really the IQ that Shan Xiao showed on weekdays...... But there is no denying that the strength of mandrills with poison is beyond doubt.
[In the heyday of the mandrill, the patriarch could even compete with the mountain god. 】
【......】
So, is the Huai Demon showing off the mandrill's ability to me now, or is it saying that I, the mountain god, is too weak? Jialan was speechless.
[What will happen to you after the curse is lifted?]
Jialan didn't know anything about this, and she didn't know if the mandrill would regain its previous strength after the curse was lifted. She's just ignorant, but she's not stupid. In such a situation where everything was unknown, it was impossible for her to casually agree to Huai You's conditions.
And she doesn't know what the situation of the heavenly insects on the shore is, according to the Huai Demon, the mandrill has invaded the mountain ghost domain, and the insects should be in a passive position to be beaten, and she must find a way to hurry up. It's just that...... Mandrill really wanted something, and she couldn't sit idly by.
Jialan looked at the Huai Demon who had completed the transformation, he * his body, and he didn't know where to get a piece of cloth to surround the important parts.
[No matter what happens in the future, the Huai Demon promises that it will never threaten all the mountain spirits in Tongshan, including the mountain ghosts. 】
It is very risky to believe in the words of the Huai Demon, Jialan does not know what will become of the mandrill after the curse is lifted, and she does not know if they will do anything dangerous to Tong Shan, once the curse is opened, there is no going back.
Jialan looked deeply into the eyes of the Huai Demon, hoping to see something from them. She was very conflicted in her heart, according to the Huai Demon's statement, the mandrill had invaded, the wood had been completed, and now it was ready to fly, and if she didn't agree, she would lose both. The mountain lord is not there, Jing Mojun is not there, and no one can make a choice for her.
[My God, please believe in the Huai Demon. 】
After hesitating for a moment, Jialan finally nodded.
If the mandrill breaks its promise, I will brand the next curse on you. Jialan raised her chin and looked into the eyes of the Huai Demon and said firmly.
Don't look at the seriousness and majesty on her face, but her heart is so empty, God knows how she doesn't know how to curse.
Our people will remember that they will never break their promises. 】
At this time, Jialan suddenly came back to her senses, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "How can you represent a clan of mandrills?"
[Regaining freedom and dying has always been the wish of the Mandrill clan. At that time, those who should be sober will be sober, and we will keep our promises, and we will not disturb the ghosts in the slightest, as long as you can do it, we can do it. 】
Jialan gritted her teeth, [Okay, then you tell me what I should do. 】
After getting Jialan's permission, Huai Demon's serious and cold face suddenly relaxed. He smiled, his eyes filled with excitement, like the emotion of something out of reach when he finally grasped it in his hands, and he opened his arms to embrace Jialan.
Jialan didn't push him away, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged him back. She felt the strength of Huai Demon's arm gradually tighten, and her gaze looked through Huai Demon's shoulder at the few dead mandrills shrouded in white in the distance, but a little sadness suddenly welled up in her heart.
It turns out that the heavenly spring water is deadly to them? She turned her head to look at the side face of Huai Demon Junlang, could this be their antidote?
At that moment, even though no words appeared in front of her, Jialan still heard the voice of the Huai Demon.
He let go of Jialan and said sincerely: [The fundamental reason why my clan became a demon became the losing side when he competed with the mountain ghost for the favor of the gods, and the mountain god occasionally died because of the patriarch of my clan, and the god was moved by his true feelings and couldn't bear the death of his god puppet, so he punished our clan.
My clan has been imprisoned in the waters for more than 400 years, and the reason why our clan has been struggling to support is not to continue the bloodline, but to have been looking forward to the return of the patriarch, even if we can no longer recognize the appearance of Yan Xiaojun as a demon body, but the wordless waiting has always been rooted in our hearts, we can't bear to forget, and try our best to live just because the clan has not yet appeared in the Yan Xiao that makes us complete.
The hatred of the killing has brought us too much pain, and our race has come to an end, and the last hope is to have the good things again.
My God, if you eliminate our obsession, our people will willingly die in the world. 】
Huai Demon's words were sincere, but Jialan only noticed one sentence, "The beauty of the past - Yan Xiaojun".
【......】
Jialan understood, Huai Demon wanted her to make them another smile.
How is this possible!
She has never seen Yan Xiaojun at all, and she doesn't know how to make mandrills!
I always feel that I am threatened. If I don't grant you the fulfillment of your wishes, will I rise up and resist?
[You're really embarrassed for me. Jialan smiled bitterly. [The invasion of mandrill is imminent, how can you ask me to make you a smile now?]
God doesn't have to be in a hurry, as long as you promise, the contract will be established, as long as you complete it within a hundred years. 】
Another hundred years, and in a hundred years, she has so much to do.
The golden light flashed, and the contract was established.
Jialan covered her face, always feeling that this matter revealed a strange atmosphere.
Huai Demon looked up at Jialan, who was gradually rising, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a satisfied smile. The lower half of his body gradually shattered, scattering into tiny pieces and merging into the water, the other mandrills shattering faster than him, their hands clenched at each other loosened by the partial fragmentation, and the rest of their bodies were scattered by the current and the speed of their disappearance accelerated.
Huai Demon took one last look at his companion and closed his eyes.
This ending is already the best for us who grew up in an ugly environment.
Jialan looked down and watched them gradually disappear into the water, the golden pattern in her palm faintly flashed, in fact, the invading mandrill and this group of mandrills who came to her were in the same group.
Adjusting the tiger to leave the mountain, first move with reason, and then know with affection, she stroked the palm of her hand, and it seemed that she had unknowingly fallen into their trap. Signing a contract is unexpected, but isn't it also the duty of a mountain god to help them?
As she got closer to the water, Jialan sped up her swim and wanted to get ashore as soon as possible. At this time, she noticed that the hot temperature behind her was becoming hotter and hotter.
The bubbles around her flowed back quickly, and suddenly Jialan heard a crisp "click", as if something had cracked.
After this sound, the heat gradually faded and the normal temperature returned.
Jialan's hair stopped a few steps away from the water in a daze, and froze.
She was a little afraid to be sure if she was broken, and after some mental struggle, she finally made up her mind and slowly stretched her hand behind her back.
At this moment, a hand grabbed her waist and lifted her up, and she broke through the water and was taken to the shore by the owner of the hand.
"God, how do you feel?" asked anxiously as the Celestial Worm took the lead in coming ashore, hurriedly pulling a piece of clothing and draping it over Jialan.
Jialan waved her hand at him after seeing that it was the Heavenly Worm, and suddenly forgot all about what had just happened, she pulled up her collar and went ashore with the help of the Heavenly Worm.
It seems that the most important thing at the moment is to see if the mandrill has withdrawn from the mountain ghost domain, and how many casualties there are among the mountain ghost clan.
Jialan was about to let the Heavenly Worm dress her when she saw the Heavenly Worm kneeling in front of her, and her cold voice was trembling: "God, the mountain mandrill took advantage of the chaos to raid the Mountain Ghost Domain, and the Heavenly Worm didn't know what the situation was outside, but ...... Bei Zi died, Wen Yuan was injured, and Ziling Chuanlian and Shi Nan were missing. ”
Jialan's hand straightened her collar for a moment, but her heart was unusually calm. She looked down at the insect, his clothes damp and dripping from his black hair. He seemed to have been soaked in the water for a long time, and the skin on the back of his hand had turned white, and in some places had even molted.
The insects are very embarrassed at the moment, and they are no longer as elegant as before. Jialan couldn't see what expression he had on his face at this time, maybe he was still so calm and light, and his performance at the moment was all asking Jialan to rescue his companion. They are her servants, and she will save them no matter what, there is no doubt about it.
Jialan understands the meaning of death, just like a rabbit, only a shell remains, and the spirit body disappears forever, never to return.
She understood the feelings of the insects, but now she was a little distressed for some reason.
She crouched down and hooked the hair scattered on her cheeks to the back of her head, and the worm's body froze for a moment, not daring to look up.
She looked at the helpless Celestial Worm and said calmly: "No matter whether they live or die, they are still my servants, and I will not leave them." ”
Six acolytes, she seldom could name them, even after twenty years. But after decades of getting along, Jialan has not had no feelings for them, she is not an untransformed spirit stone, since she has a divine body, she will have emotions in itself.
Jialan saw that there were many large and small scars on his hands, and after being run by the hot spring water, the surrounding area began to turn red, and the wounds also turned pale pink.
Jialan pressed the Celestial Worm's shoulder to make him look up, her palm gently conveying warmth, and she reassured him, "Don't be afraid, I'll find them." ”
The heavenly insect looked at Jialan's determined gaze, and the flustered heartbeat seemed to calm down.
Ziling was his friend since he was a child, and when he woke up in such a difficult situation, he thought that they were in the same situation, and the heavenly worm couldn't imagine that Ziling would die like that......
Although they had been trained for more than 200 years to serve the mountain gods, they had never seen mandrills act like this.
The mountain lord and the elder are not there, and the patriarch is afraid that he will not be able to arrive at the first time, and the heavenly insects are afraid that there will be an even more tragic scene outside the Tianquan Stream.
However, the truth is not what he thought, outside the Tianquan Stream, it seems to be swept by a strong wind, and the mandrill only did something to smash and rob without hurting the mountain ghost, but Beizi's death is particularly abnormal.
Jialan was glad that she had made the right choice, and she later figured out that the mandrill's plan this time was not to attack the mountain ghost domain at all, but to get a promise from the mountain god, for which they had carried out such a careful plan, even the spirit veins could be affected by it, and the power of the mandrill should not be underestimated.
And the Huai Demon ...... Jialan didn't know what his position was in the clan, but at least he should be able to speak, or maybe this plan was the one he led, after all, not everyone can break into Tianquan Stream.
It was only an hour after leaving the Tianquan Stream, and Jialan saw Ziling and the three of them in the Fang Palace.
It turned out that Jialan and the heavenly insect disappeared in the water, and after thinking about it, the three of Ziling decided to split up to find the mountain ghost who could take charge and go to Tianquan Stream, but they were stopped by the mountain mandrill on the way, so they missed it.
After Lan Jun returned, Jialan told him about the contract. Lan Jun was shocked by the mandrill's resourcefulness, he didn't believe that the mandrill had the ability to shake the spiritual veins, maybe everything was just a coincidence. It's just that he can't ignore the contract that Jialan signed with the mandrills, that is, they must return them a patriarch.
In a hundred years, they simply couldn't cultivate a patriarch for them, let alone the patriarch of the Mandrill clan. If the mountain ghost is used, not to mention that the mountain devil is unwilling, the mountain ghost cannot be willing to become a member of the mountain mandrill.
How can this be good.
The picture suddenly stopped at the moment when Lan Jun shook the fan, and the next second shattered and transformed.
Jialan slept on the couch, her hands folded on the side of the pillow. The rumbling sound in her ears made her frown in her dreams, as if someone was whispering her name.
Soul Eater on the pool
Moonsilk slid down the red rope and wrapped around Jialan's waist, re-hiding in her body.
The memory formation was disturbed, the pool water was tumbling, and Jia Lan was half-open, as if she was looking at the misty water vapor above.
The memory has not yet returned to completeness, but the dream is slowly collapsing, Jialan is slowly withdrawing from the memory, time passes quickly, many characters change and jump, she can only remember those scenes and cannot inherit the past feelings.
She remembered that Mu Qing became the patriarch of the Mandrill Clan, that the Heavenly Worm tried the law and was eaten by a falling bird and died, that Ziling died in Shangzezhuang, and that Qing Lantern shattered the last faith of the Buddha because of love and hate......
Shaodian thought that Jialan would not have an accident if she was in the Soul Eater Pool, and she just had to wait quietly for her transformation, and time would return a complete Jialan to them at that time.
It's just a moon filament, and it disrupts everything, and Jialan will wake up soon, not the old Jialan, but the new Jialan.
