Chapter 128: The Man in the Mountain
"You want me to surrender?
In the furious thunder, the beast spread its teeth and claws, but before it could stretch out, it disappeared.
Soon, the beast reappeared, and after a roar, it still pounced on Chen Cuo, but dissipated again halfway through.
After repeating this more than a dozen times, the beast finally settled down a little.
As soon as it appeared, it pounced on Chen Cuo, but with a gloomy face, it squatted up, staring at Chen Cuo with unkind eyes, a muffled sound of "hmm" in its mouth, a thunder explosion between its fangs, and black smoke billowing from its nostrils.
"It's hard to be reborn, you don't want to be reincarnated like this......" Seeing this, Chen Cuo tried to communicate.
As a result, before he finished speaking, the beast suddenly opened its mouth, and a cloud of lightning shot out, and then it was completely gone.
"I can't communicate for the time being, but I don't have to rush it. ”
Chen Cuo is not discouraged, it is unintentionally inserted into the willow, there is no need to be persistent, not to mention that seeking immortality is the right thing, if you can live forever, there is no shortage of time, and you can repeatedly "negotiate" with this beast.
"It took a night, I don't know what happened to the outside world, but Mohe was not touched, Master should not have been here......"
Just now he took the time to wake up and tidy up his belongings.
In the Qingliu Garden, Chen Cuo walked simply, waved his sleeves away, except for the pig turtle, he didn't bring anything, but there were also many things that were stored closely, the most important of which were small gourds, five baht coins, ink cranes and the annotation of "Nine Songs".
Just now, he pinned a trace of spiritual consciousness on Mohe, so that he was in Mengze, and he could also get information from the outside world in time.
However, when Chen Cuo left Mengze and opened his eyes, his heart suddenly tightened, and then he became vigilant, got up instantly, and looked towards one place.
At the door, a ten-year-old girl with a delicate face, a pair of big black eyes, smiled, and revealed two small dimples.
She was wearing a big red jacket and holding a black crane in her hand, and when she saw Chen Cuo looking over, she smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't be afraid, I am your senior sister, ranked ninth, and the road number is taunting." ”
After speaking, she let go of the ink crane and said, "This magic weapon is exquisitely refined, but your usage is too rough! But don't worry, senior sister, I have a set of control tricks, and I will teach you another day, so that you can control the magic weapon in the future, like an arm and a finger!" she pinched her waist.
Chen Cuo was stunned, caught the black crane, and saw the white jade hanging around the girl's neck.
Seeing this, the girl took two steps closer and said, "Don't be stunned, call Senior Sister to listen." ”
Chen Cuo saw it, and his heart was strange, you must know that his physical body is not very old, and he still looks like a teenager, but he is still older than this girl.
"Oh, I really didn't lie to you," the girl pointed to the white jade around her neck, "Our Taihua Mountain is not based on age, it is ranked according to the order of entry!"
Chen Cuo laughed when he heard this, and arched his hand: "Senior sister is too worried, there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, how can this senior sister not be called?"
"Okay, good," the girl's heart was full of joy, and her eyes bent with a smile, "Good junior brother, people look pleasing to the eye, and speak well, senior sister will not let you suffer." ”
Seeing this, Chen Cuo's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask the other party's age.
The girl looked up and said, "Senior sister just turned ten years old this year. ”
“......”
Xi Ran saw Chen Cuo's face, and said eagerly: "Don't think I'm taking advantage of you, senior sister, my Taoism is not inferior to you, I was picked up by the old man and returned to the mountain, I have built the foundation since I was a child, and now it is also the second realm!"
Chen Cuo heard this and nodded silently.
The confrontation between the north and the south, the wars are frequent, and the orphans are unknown.
Xi Ran guessed a few points, his smile remained unchanged, and said: "Although I haven't seen my parents, but in Taihua, there are old men, uncles, many brothers, and a few nephews, and now there are many junior brothers, and there are more relatives!"
As she spoke, she knocked on her head, and the words changed: "Patronizing and rejoicing, I almost forgot to get down to business, someone came to worship the mountain today, and the old man couldn't pull out of it, so he ordered me to come and see you, I came, first, to bring you food, and second, to bring you a few jade slips, let you take a look first, some of them are basic methods, and some of them are in and out of the secret realm of Taihua, and after reading it, Familiarize yourself, senior sister will take you to the book collection peak again, it's interesting over there, there are a lot of fun ones, and there is a big array inside, one of the five formations of Taihua, it is magical!"
With that, as soon as she beckoned, a crane fell, and put down the fruit basket she was holding, and there were two fist-sized green fruits inside.
"My companion fairy pet," the girl pointed to the crane with a look of showing off, "I heard that the junior brother also has it, so let the two families get close another day." ”
“......”
I really don't.
Chen Cuo silently picked up the fruit and took a bite, and immediately his mouth was full of fragrance, a clear stream went down his throat, and in a blink of an eye, he was all over the viscera, and immediately the five senses were clear and the viscera was comfortable.
He couldn't help but glance at the fruit again, and his eyes were full of amazement.
The whole fruit was green, like jasper.
The girl stared at it, swallowed her saliva, and said: "This is the Crystal Crystal Fruit, the mother tree was planted in the Qin period, it bears fruit every ten years, and there are thirty-six trees in one tree, which can consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, open up the spiritual wisdom, and it is very precious. ”
"Master bothered," Chen Cuo's heart warmed, and when he saw the girl's appearance, he handed over the remaining one and said, "Senior sister is hard, let's eat one too." ”
Xi Ran licked his lips, turned his head suddenly, and said, "I won't eat it, I'm tired of eating it for a long time, you are a junior brother, you eat!"
Chen Cuo smiled dumbly.
Xi then took two steps back, turned his face sideways, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and eat, after the Biying Spirit Fruit is ripe, it will be frozen with cold jade, once it is unsealed, no one will eat it, and it will turn into clear qi after two hours, if you don't eat it again, it will be wasted!"
Chen Cuo saw that Xi Ran's mind was very strong, and he was no longer hypocritical, he swallowed it all, and immediately filled his stomach with a clear stream, circulating hundreds of limbs.
Xi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face again, and said, "Hurry up and breathe and breathe!" The words fell, and he smacked his lips.
.
.
"Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for a few years, the last time we met, it was still too clear, alas, it's really hard to explain......"
Bamboo forest houses, the windows are bright and clean.
Dao Yinzi sat opposite a thin old man, who was talking with emotion on his face.
This old man has a fairy wind and bones, a crane hair and a childish face, and a crown and a broad belt, like a famous man.
There were two people standing behind him, a man and a woman, the man in his thirties, with a majestic bearing and a long sword on his back, and the woman in her twenties, with a beautiful face and a colorful veil.
Dao Yinzi smiled and said: "It's been some years, but junior brother, you are in Chang'an, close at hand, if you want to visit, you have already come, and you are here today, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, this time into the mountain, where did you come from?"
"I can't hide anything from Senior Brother," the thin old man sighed: "Since Senior Brother asked, I will say it bluntly, the root cause of this is because of a promise from Senior Brother Yan Yinzi." ”
Dao Yinzi's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded: "Yes, he mentioned this matter, saying that he lost to you in a game of chess five years ago, and he made a promise." ”
The old man said: "Senior Brother Yan Yinzi said, allow me to use the Four Elephants Array once." ”
Seeing that Dao Yinzi was smiling and silent, he said, "I know that this array is arranged by the immortals themselves, and once it is driven, it has many wonderful uses, so I have always remembered this matter." ”
Dao Yinzi said with a smile: "Then the junior brother should also know that this formation moves, not to mention that it has to be cultivated by the earth's veins for three years, and now the formation map is newly turned, and the junior brother will come back in three years, and the poor road will be kept for you." He saw that the old man's expression changed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, if my generation makes a promise, I will not break it, otherwise my Dao heart will be dusty." ”
The old man came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I also noticed the operation of the formation diagram and hurried over. To tell you the truth, after that day, I had the idea of accepting apprentices, but Jia'er was hard to find, and I finally met the two of them, and I also promised to their families to let the two of them enter the battle together to temper ......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the man and said, "This is the same clan and cousin as the disciple Li Yu of the senior brother, and he is the son of the late Duke of Longxi County, who was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Tang Guo, and will be out of town next year." He pointed to the woman again, "This woman is from the Dugu clan, and she is also a big family, if she doesn't enter the Tao, she will die next year." ”
Dao Yinzi nodded, and said: "The disciples of the junior brother are really from extraordinary backgrounds, either rich or expensive, and the power is not small, Taihua Shan is in the surrounding realm, and he also knows the difficulties of the junior and younger brothers, but now the innate aura does not exist, and the poor Dao is heartfelt, but also powerless." ”
"Then can you let the two of you practice in the mountains for a while?" the old man got up and arched his hand, "Taihua Treasure Land, full of mysteries, can get one or two experiences, and the previous promise will be cleared." ”
The two disciples also solemnly bowed, and the man looked at Dao Yinzi even more carefully, his eyes fiery.
Dao Yinzi shook his head and said, "A promise is gold, how can you change it?"
"Then this ......" the old man's face was ugly, "Please also ask the senior brother to look at the friendship between the two families and be accommodating!"
Dao Yinzi said: "If you let you leave like this, maybe you will have a grudge in your heart." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "Where does the senior brother say, if it doesn't work, the senior brother will take them back." ”
When the men and women behind him heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads, and the man was even more anxious.
Dao Yinzi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Even if you don't hold grudges, but you have an agreement with the mortal court, the people of the Zhou Kingdom say that I am not close to people in Taihua Mountain, and it is troublesome to toss on the side of the mountain, so it's better to do this......"
When the old man heard this, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said, "It's all up to the senior brother's arrangement." ”
Dao Yinzi said with a smile: "At the beginning, it was you and the poor Dao junior brother who played a game, now, it is better to let the two newly recruited disciples also play a game, if your disciple wins, the poor Dao allows the two of them to practice in the secret realm for three years, but if the poor Dao disciple wins, you don't have any complaints, come back in three years, how about it?"
The old man's face was happy, but he still said: "Senior brother and apprentice must be extraordinary......
"It's just a game, although it's not an ordinary chess game, but it has nothing to do with cultivating for Taoism," Dao Yinzi put away his smile, pointed to his chest, and said lightly, "I care about my heart!"
