Chapter 4: Artifacts
Seeing that the Xuan Ape didn't dare to act rashly, the fire dragon breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this little fate had been picked up. At this time, the fire dragon carefully observed the young child who was held hostage by himself, and saw that his peach face was like a flower, his eyes were like hanging beads, and his teeth were like braided shells, and he was really a little person with a pink carving and jade pecking. Although the child was entangled by the fire dragon, he did not feel suffocated at all, but was excited because he had never seen such a big snake, and clapped his hands happily. Seeing this, the fire dragon's anger has also decreased a lot in the past few years, and he can't bear to entangle him to death like this, and unconsciously loosen the restraint on children.
Seeing that it did not harm the innocent, the ape knew that it had a good conscience, and secretly happy for it in his heart, after all, the two divine beasts had lived together for hundreds of years, and although there were fights from time to time, they were also good friends. Thinking of this, Xuan Ape was a little ashamed in his heart. For so many years, the fire dragon has taken good care of himself, and today he actually moved the idea of getting rid of it. At the same time, he was also surprised by the cultivation of the fire dragon. If it were only about fighting, the fire dragon was no longer its opponent, but in other respects, the ape felt that he was far inferior. Speaking of the grasp of the surrounding things, the Xuan Ape is known as "Listening to the sound of thousands of miles", and this child is close at hand, but it does not notice it in the slightest, with this, the Xuan Ape admires the fire dragon.
Yun Zhong didn't know what the two divine beasts were thinking in their hearts. He had seen a lot of animals in the village before, such as chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., and he had also seen some snakes, but it was the first time that the whole body was red like the fire dragon, and it was the first time that he was so thick, and he couldn't help but be a little curious. And the fire dragon entangled in the clouds was a little crying and laughing.
Seeing that the fire dragon had no intention of harming the child, Xuan Ape was happy in his heart. Although the two divine beasts have high mana, they can't transform into human form, and naturally they can't speak human words, they can only communicate with their divine senses. "Fire Dragon Daoist, it is not easy for you and me to cultivate, don't hurt the innocent, lest you fall into the demon path. "The dragon knows it's right. Divine beasts and demonic beasts are just a thought. Demonic beasts have no scruples and act according to their own preferences, while divine beasts are bound by precepts. One of the most important precepts is that humans cannot kill the primates of all things at will.
Thinking that he had almost broken his vow, the fire dragon was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Although the difference between the Divine Beast and the Demonic Beast seems to be only one word, there is actually a big difference between the two. Divine beasts are admired by all the people, and can use the power of everyone's faith to practice, while demonic beasts are not only spurned by people, but once they are classified as demonic beasts, they are always in danger of being hunted by immortals. Despite this, the fire dragon did not dare to let go of Yun Chong. Because it knew that it was not the opponent of the ape at this time. If it waits for it to let go of the child, maybe the ape will kill the killer, and it will be too late to regret it. But they didn't dare to hurt the child, so the two divine beasts could only stalemate like this.
The ape knew that the initiative to break the situation was on its side, and it didn't want to actually kill the fire dragon. "Fire Dragon Daoist, you and I have practiced together for hundreds of years, and it is beneficial to each other. As long as you promise me that I will not persecute other living beings in the future, we will still be good friends and friends in the future, how about it?"
Now, the fire dragon also knows that this is the best way, and wants to put the child down at the same time.
Yun Chong had already found that there was a "monkey" in front of him, and he had always wanted to go up and touch it, but this big "snake" had been pestering him, and he couldn't break free, so anxious that he almost began to cry. Suddenly, the big "snake" let go of him, couldn't help but laugh, staggered to the "monkey", and stretched out his hand to pull the big furry hand of the ape. After all, the ape is a divine beast, and as soon as he saw Yun Chong's movements, he knew his intentions, so he put him on his shoulder and held it with one hand, for fear that he would accidentally fall off. The ape was tall, a head taller than an adult man, while Yun Zhong was thin enough to stand on its shoulders.
After letting go of Yun Chong, the fire dragon wanted to leave here and return to the cave where he cultivated. When he walked not far behind the ape, he glanced back at the ape who was having fun with Yun Chong. Suddenly, an evil thought came to my heart. If at this time, if the Xuan Ape is not guarded and burns the Xuan Ape to death with the Samadhi True Fire, then he will have no opponent in this Qingyun Mountain in the future, and he will have no fear. Together, this thought grew uncontrollably. Just as the fire dragon made up his mind to make a move, a sudden bell sounded like a heavenly sound came from the front. The fire dragon's body shook violently, and he woke up from his fantasy. At this time, the fire dragon had already walked out of the verge of going mad and really embarked on the path of cultivating the gods, and couldn't help but hurry up with the sudden ringing.
"Xuan Ape Daoist, just now I had a sudden demon in my heart, and I almost burned you to death, and I almost fell into the devil's way, I'm really ashamed. ”
The ape had never been close to humans, and when he saw Yun Zhong so likable today, he didn't pay attention to the abnormality of the fire dragon. When he heard the fire dragon say it, he woke up, afraid of his negligence, and happy for the fire dragon to stop the precipice.
"It's a great luck that Daoyou can rein in the precipice, and from then on, there will be no demons, and the future cultivation will naturally sway upward. ”
The fire dragon was anxious to know what kind of treasure it was to make it lost, "Just now, the backlog of demons in my heart was getting heavier and heavier, and I suddenly heard a crisp ringtone, and I realized that I almost made a big mistake. I don't know what treasure my friend has gotten recently, can I let you look at it next. ”
After hearing this, the ape was confused. "I didn't hear any bells, and I didn't have any treasures, how can you say this?"
If it were someone else, the fire dragon would definitely think it was lying, but it knew what the ape said and believed it, and never lied. Is there someone else around, this is also impossible. If someone is nearby, they will definitely not be able to hide the ape that can listen to the sound of thousands of miles, and besides, he has not smelled the smell of other animals. In addition to himself and the ape, only the little child waving his hands was left in front of him. Thinking of this, the fire dragon said, "Could it be this little kid on your shoulder?" ”
The Xuan Ape looked at the fire dragon and should not be panicked, but he really didn't hear any bells, but the divine beast of "Listening to the Sound of Ten Thousand Miles" couldn't hear the sound of the things around him, if this was transmitted, I was afraid that no one would believe it. Could it be that there really is something in this little kid? It's unlikely. Among the many abilities of the ape, treasure recognition and treasure identification are also one of them. If it is true, then his stunt actually failed two times in one day, then he is not a divine beast, and the Xuan Ape can't help but start to doubt.
Xuan Ape took Yun Zhong off his shoulders and put it on his hands to look at it, but Yun Zhong was very uncooperative and twisted around, as if he didn't like to be studied like this. When he saw the bracelet on Yun Chong's hand, he said in his heart, could it be it? Carefully looking at the bracelet in front of him, he saw that there were eleven bells next to the bracelet. The strange thing is that no matter how Yun Zhong moves around, the bell on the bracelet does not make any sound. Xuan Ape said in his heart: It seems that this bracelet is a little strange.
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Ape guessed a possibility. To confirm this possibility, Xuan Ape asked, "Can Daoist friends still hear the bell now?"
The fire dragon also felt strange that since he had repented, the bell had suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared. "No, no bells at all. Do you already know the reason in your heart?"
Xuan Ape didn't answer, Deep Hand wanted to take off the bracelet from Yun Chong's wrist, but he couldn't take it off, the bracelet seemed to be connected to Yun Chong's body flesh and blood. So I had to hold the bracelet on Yun Chong's wrist with my hand and try to put my divine sense into it, but I didn't expect that there was really something else in the bracelet. Each of these bells is a space, and the aura inside is intense, almost physical. If you cultivate here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing that it didn't speak for a long time, the fire dragon asked, "Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"
The ape was so excited for a moment that he forgot about the existence of the fire dragon. Hearing it ask, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Fellow Daoist, you and I will come and go." The bracelet on the child's wrist is actually a rare artifact, and only those who have demons in their hearts can hear the ringing. ”
When the fire dragon heard this, his heart turned out to be like this. Hearing the Xuan Ape's voice again, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked: "Daoyou doesn't want to kill this kid and snatch the artifact." ”
Xuan Yu knew that it had misunderstood his thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Daoist friend guessed wrong. This artifact is connected to the flesh and blood of this little child, and even if he is killed, it is impossible to obtain the artifact. As the saying goes, the only artifact in the world is the virtuous. Even if we take it, I'm afraid we'll only get into trouble. ”
The fire dragon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't trying to snatch the artifact. He had just gotten rid of the trouble of the demons in his heart, and if the ape really wanted to snatch the artifact, then he would have to meet it in battle. "Why is that fellow Daoist so excited?" Knowing that it wasn't trying to snatch the artifact, the fire dragon also felt as if a boulder had fallen to the ground in his heart.
"The twelve bells on this bracelet are twelve spaces, and the aura inside is as rich as an entity, if you and I cultivate in it, wouldn't it be faster to achieve positive results. ”
The fire dragon also came to the side of the ape to probe his divine sense into the bracelet, and when he found that it was so, he was also very happy. Although Qingyun Mountain's aura is also rich, it is too much worse than the inside of the bell. But it remembered another thing, shook its head and said, "I'm afraid that we won't be able to get out of this Qingyun Mountain." "Qingyun Mountain is actually much bigger than it looks from the outside, but it has been set up by people and can't be seen from the outside. The place where Yunqing hunts on weekdays is just a drop in the bucket of Qingyun Mountain. In other places, it is impossible for him to get in even if he wants to, even the divine beasts such as the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon are trapped inside and can't get out, how easy is it for a mortal in Yunqing to talk about it recently?
Xuan Ape knew the fire dragon's concerns, and said nonchalantly: "Daoist friends are not confused. You and I are still trapped in this formation, and we can't get out for hundreds of years. And this kid didn't have any signs of mana on his body, how could he enter the mountain guarding array. ”
The fire dragon also felt strange in his heart, yes, how did he get in. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Is it because of this bracelet, this bracelet can actually break through the mountain guarding array?"
Xuan Ape said, "I think there is only one explanation. ”
The fire dragon suddenly remembered something, and said, "When you and I were fighting just now, it seemed that in addition to this child, there was another creature, which seemed to be a red-tailed squirrel. ”
The ape thought for a moment, radiated his senses, and soon found the red-tailed squirrel hiding in his hollow.
The red-tailed squirrel just saw that the two overlords of Qingyun Mountain, Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon, were competing, and wanted to persuade Yun Chong to leave that dangerous place, but who expected that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, but Yun Chong was not afraid at all, and lay behind the tree to peek at the wonderful battle between the two overlords. The red-tailed squirrel was not as bold as Yun Chong, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to his tree hole and hid, hoping that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon, who were praying to God and Buddha at the moment, did not see it. The Xuan Ape usually takes care of these low-level divine beasts, and that's it. But the fire dragon often finds excuses to oppress them, because the other party's mana is higher than his own, so he has to endure it. If the fire dragon knows that it is peeking today, he may turn into a burning squirrel.
While the red-tailed squirrel was gnawing on the pine cone and congratulating himself on running fast enough, a voice suddenly came to his head, "Squirrel, how did you bring that kid in just now?" This sound almost caused the red-tailed squirrel to choke to death by the pine cone that had just been put into its mouth, and after coughing violently twice, the red-tailed squirrel looked around nervously, and found no sign of other creatures, and then put his hanging heart down again.
Chewing on the sweet pine cones, the red-tailed squirrel thought about the sound just now, it seemed to be the voice of the big brother of the ape, could it be that the big brother of the ape won the fire dragon? Thinking of this, the red-tailed squirrel couldn't help but laugh with joy. But another voice rekindled the heart it had just put down.
"Red-tailed squirrel, tell me how you brought the little ones in. ”
This voice made the red-tailed squirrel's heart tremble, because it was clearly the voice of a fire dragon in Qingyun Mountain. Could it be that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon have reconciled again?
The red-tailed squirrel was thinking endlessly, and at this time, the black ape and the fire dragon had already arrived in front of the red-tailed squirrel's tree hole with Yunzhong. Seeing that the red-tailed squirrel didn't answer him, the fire dragon couldn't help but be a little angry. Although the demons in my heart have been removed, anger is still inevitable.
"Red-tailed squirrel, didn't you hear me?"
"Don't frighten the squirrels. I think it's usually freaked out by you, so I didn't answer for a while. ”
The fire dragon thought about what he had done in recent years, and smiled in his heart, maybe this red-tailed squirrel was really frightened by himself.
The Xuan Ape has a high prestige among the divine beasts of Qingyun Mountain, and it is most suitable for it to ask questions at this moment.
"Squirrel Daoyou, did you bring this kid in?"
Only then did the red-tailed squirrel understand that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon were not guilty of coming to Xingshi, and seeing that although the Fire Dragon's tone did not change, his expression was very different from before, and he thought that the Fire Dragon had really changed his ways, and his mood slowly calmed down, and he hurriedly jumped out of the tree hole and stood beside the two giants.
"No, I just walked around the mountains to see if there was any good fruit. As I was looking, I saw the little kid staggering along, and I didn't know how he got in. I also wondered how he got in. ”
The Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon are both happy in their hearts, it seems that this bracelet can really break through the mountain guarding array, as long as they stay inside, they will definitely be able to get out of Qingyun Mountain.
Yun Zhong has been standing on the shoulder of the Xuan Ape, just now the Xuan Ape's figure flashed a few times and flew far away, Yun Chong was both envious and excited in his heart, feeling as if he was driving the clouds and fog. This time, I saw the red-tailed squirrel that accompanied him again, and my heart was even happier, and I was really lucky to encounter so many interesting things today.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhong jumped off the shoulder of the Xuan Ape with a jump. Xuan Ape was still immersed in the excitement of being able to leave Qingyun Mountain and see the outside world, and he didn't notice Yun Chong's movements at all. When Yun Chong fell to the ground, he found that he was scared into a cold sweat, if Yun Chong accidentally fell to his death, then their hope of getting out of Qingyun Mountain would be empty again. At the same time, I felt incredible, looking at Yun Chong's appearance, he was only about a year old, and the shoulder of the Xuan Ape was about one meter seven or eight from the ground, and it was a miracle that he jumped from such a height unharmed. Xuan Ape thought about it, this child can carry an artifact, so it is understandable that there are some unusual actions and abilities of ordinary people.
After Yun Zhong jumped down, he went straight to the big tail of the red-tailed squirrel, and his body was vigorous, like a martial arts master who had practiced martial arts for many years. The red-tailed squirrel seemed to see through his intentions, and as soon as he slid to the side, he was secretly happy, when he suddenly felt as if his tail had been caught. Looking back, Yun Zhong was grappling happily and proudly holding his red tail. It turned out that Yun Zhong already knew that the red-tailed squirrel would slide to both sides, so he deliberately left one side for it to escape, and then turned sideways violently, and finally grabbed the big fluffy tail, where could he not be happy.
The red-tailed squirrel shook its tail and wanted to scratch Yunzhong's nose, but Yunzhong had already known that it would come to this hand, and grabbed the tail of the hand fiercely to prevent it from shaking, so that the red-tailed squirrel had nothing to do, so he had to look at Yunzhong with watery eyes, as if begging him to let go of his hand. Yun Zhong finally caught the red tail, where would he let go so easily, and raised his head high just to not look at the pitiful appearance of the red-tailed squirrel.
Seeing this scene, the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon were all happy in their hearts. They are all divine beasts that have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and the things they have seen except for low-level divine beasts like red-tailed squirrels are towering ancient trees, they have never seen humans at all, let alone such a humanized scene.
