The door of the Zhong family's courtyard opened, and through the eyes of the old mandrill, Zhong Ming saw the woman he was thinking about again.

The most kind mother in the whole world stood in front of Zhong Ming.

At this time, Zhong Ming had a thousand words to say in his heart, but this was just a memory, and he couldn't open his mouth or speak.

All that, only regrets.

Dressed in plain linen clothes, Zhong Xiuniang still had that heart-warming smile on her face, and when she saw the old mandrill, her eyes were slightly surprised, and she actually covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhong Xiuniang didn't make a sound, just pulled the old mandrill up.

Zhong Ming could feel that the old mandrill was in a nervous mood at the moment, he grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked, "Teacher, what do you think I look like?"

Zhong Xiuniang replied with a smile: "Of course you are a person, but this head is bigger, and your arms are longer, maybe you can become beautiful if you grow longer." ”

Today, Lao Shanxiao came to meet Zhong Xiuniang, not only to meet his teacher and repay the kindness of his professors for many years, but also to beg for silence.

Begging for a seal is a step that must be taken by the mountain spirits to transform into shapes, and it has always been like this.

Generally speaking, begging for a seal is a successful cultivation, and a spirit in human form can be transformed into a humanoid spirit to ask passers-by what they look like.

If passers-by say that he is like a person, he can stabilize his Dao heart, turn into a human form, and from then on, he can concentrate on asking questions and cultivating.

If passers-by say that he is a monster, then the Dao heart of this spirit will be chaotic, and most of them will not be able to cross the barrier of transformation.

In the final analysis, the so-called begging for a seal is a step towards the human image and the pursuit of perfection.

As the spirit of all things, human beings are the most spiritual in heaven and earth in their form and words, so the spirits have been cultivating for a long time, and they are only close to people.

Only when they get close to the human form can they be qualified to ascend to the higher path of immortality.

As far as cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao are concerned, human beings have a more unique foundation than other living beings.

Lao Shanxiao succeeded in asking for the seal this time, the Taoist heart is stable, and Zhong Xiuniang has made great contributions.

Even if Zhong Xiuniang knew that the person who came was not an individual, she had never discriminated against Lao Shanxiao, and she would implement the education to the end.

"As long as you are eager to learn, anyone can learn. ”

Zhong Xiuniang said so that day, and she also gave the old mandrill a name, named Yaya, which means tooth and tooth.

Over the years, Lao Mandrill has also changed from babbling to a Confucian spirit that is not inferior to ordinary scribes, and he is very satisfied with this name, which represents the hardships of his education.

The picture began to blur at this point, and the white light in front of Zhong Ming's eyes gradually disappeared.

When Zhong Ming opened his eyes again, the old mandrill was already standing with his hands in his hands, he turned his back to Zhong Ming, and said in a deep voice: "Yaya, let me not forget my original heart, and always maintain the idea of practicing literature, I like this name." ”

"I miss my mother. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhong Ming bowed his head and said.

Since he came from his previous life, Zhong Ming's biggest regret in his heart is that he didn't see the gentle mother in his memory.

In the previous life, there was no mother, and in this life, I finally had a mother, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes.

Maybe this is what the old blind man once said to Zhong Ming: You are a lone star, destined to be lonely all your life.

The old mandrill raised his huge head, looked up at the bright moon that appeared from time to time, and sighed: "I miss the teacher too......

One of the things I could do the most I could do since I became sensible was failing to save my teacher's life. ”

It's silent again, one person and one monster, looking up at the starry sky, and thinking of the same gentle woman in his heart.

After half a sound, the night wind blew the smell of corpses and blood again, and the old mandrill suddenly came back to his senses.

The old mandrill slowly turned around and said, "Zhong Ming, I saved you to repay the teacher's teaching, and now that you are fine, I will also leave." ”

"Why are you leaving?"

Zhong Ming frowned, didn't he stay in the hill for a few years, and he just left?

"The immortal of Bai Yujing just now wants to kill you, I persuade him not to listen, and I can only kill him.

Bai Yujing is dead, they will inevitably send someone to investigate, I can't stay in this hill......"

Lao Shanxiao sighed: "I have long been successful in learning, and I have passed the threshold of asking for seals, and I have reached a certain realm, according to the Taoist realm, I am also an infant realm, I should have gone out for a walk a long time ago, and it is also a good thing that I can go out today." ”

Zhong Ming was surprised, he didn't expect that Li Que, who seemed to have boundless immortal laws, was actually killed by the old mandrill.

In the final analysis, it was all because of Zhong Ming, and he was ashamed: "Tooth senior, it was Zhong Ming who caused you trouble." ”

The old mandrill chuckled: "I'm just repaying the favor, not about trouble." ”

After speaking, the old mandrill took out the hair on his chest, and a knuckle-sized white jade bead was taken out of the dense hair.

"Here's to you. ”

The old mandrill handed the beads to Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming took the beads, frowned and looked at them, and asked, "Senior, what is this?"

"I was lucky enough to get this bead a few years ago, I call it the Moonlight Pearl, and the reason why I can open the spiritual wisdom is because this thing can absorb the moonlight and transform it into spiritual energy...... That is what you martial arts practitioners call true qi.

I'm leaving, thinking about it, and there's nothing to give you, so I'll give you this bead as a thought. ”

In this way, isn't this bead a treasure that can speed up people's search for qi?

Zhong Ming didn't dare to accept such a baby, not to mention that he was not related to Lao Shanxiao, even if he was related to him, he was embarrassed to accept this kind of baby.

How can you easily receive this favor?

Zhong Ming hurriedly pushed Yuehuazhu back: "Senior Yaya, this is your treasure, I can't accept it." ”

In fact, there is another reason in it, Zhong Ming is smart, a smart person thinks a lot, and his nature is also suspicious, and he also thinks that the old mandrill is deliberately testing him.

The old mandrill bared his teeth and said angrily: "If you give it to you, you will take it!" The teacher taught me that the grace of dripping water should be repaid by a spring, and I must repay this kindness. ”

Seeing the angry appearance of the old mandrill's grinning teeth, Zhong Ming didn't dare to say the word "no" again, so he could only reach into his arms and pick up Yuehuazhu.

After putting away the beads, Zhong Ming asked again: "Senior, dare to ask where are you going on this trip?"

"Go to the Suiyun Mountain Range, three years ago, the sky descended to the Immortal Palace, and we people with Dao hearts learned more news than you.

I listened to the birds flying from the Suiyun Mountain Range, there is a fairy palace in the Suiyun Mountain Range, called the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, in which the fairy fruits are everywhere, and the strange beasts are running, which is the peach blossom source where the spirits gather.

I want to go there and look for my kind. ”

The old mandrill looked at the Suiyun Mountains in the south, and he longed for it.

Zhong Ming hurriedly said: "That's really a great place, I hope the journey of the Yaya seniors will be smooth." ”

"Lend you good words. ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Shanxiao waved his hand, and the demon wind rose, and he turned into a scholar who was very similar to Zhong Ming, but his face was more handsome than Zhong Ming's, and more like Zhong Ming's mother.

Probably in the heart of the old mandrill, the great Confucianism in the world should be the appearance of Zhong Xiuniang.

The old mandrill was a neat fellow, he said that he walked and walked, and his steps seemed slow, but he was a few feet away, and he disappeared into the night after only a few steps.

"Zhong Ming, that Bai Yujing's immortal is domineering, if you can't stay in the border anymore, go to the Suiyun Mountain Range to find me!"

The night wind blew, and the old mandrill was gone, leaving only his voice drifting in the distance.

"Thank you, senior, for the point!"

Towards the night in the distance, Zhong Ming made another gesture.

It wasn't until there was no more sound in the distance that the bell got up.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ming came back to his senses from the dream-like encounter, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Nianchen lying on the ground.

Zhong Ming squatted down to explore Zhang Nianchen's breath, and found that his breath was only a little weak, which should have been told to him by Brother Long Hu, and only those who practice martial arts will suffer internal injuries.

With the only true qi in his body, Zhong Ming explored Zhang Nianchen's dantian and found that his dantian was empty, which was also the reason why Zhang Nianchen fell unconscious.

Although Zhang Nianchen is a person of Taoism, the essence of cultivation is similar to that of martial arts people, and he also cultivates true qi in his body.

A person who has been injured internally should have been recuperated by someone who also has internal strength with his true qi, but the true qi in Zhong Ming's body is also depleted, and he is powerless.

Zhang Nianchen was fine for the time being, the injury would not hurt his life, and Zhong Ming didn't want to treat him immediately, so he picked up Zhang Nianchen and hurried to the mud village.

The corpse qi was not suppressed, but the corpse tide still broke out, and he had to return to the village first before Zhong Ming felt at ease.

trotted all the way, and when Zhong Ming panted and ran back to the top of the hill, he saw a pool of blood on the ground.

The blue brocade robe fragments, the blood stains are still fresh, and there are ice crystals on the surrounding weeds.

This should be the place where Li Que died, but the body is missing, and only blood-stained clothes remain.

Zhong Ming didn't know that Li Que had been eaten by the old mandrill, so he spitted: "If you want to kill me, you deserve it!"

With a little breath, Zhong Ming didn't dare to stay, the tide of corpses was surging under the mountain, and he had to hurry back to the village.

Zhong Ming couldn't run fast with Zhang Nianchen on his back, and when he came to the bottom of the mountain, he was too tired to walk.

He could only sit down and rest for a while, and it was at this time that he noticed a flickering light in the grass not far away.

The golden and green lights complemented each other, and Zhong Ming's eyes narrowed: "How does it look like something in an old gourd?"

After putting Zhang Nianchen away, Zhong Ming pulled out the Jue Xiang knife and slowly approached Huaguang.

When he looked around, he saw the old Taoist priest Zhang Daozhen sitting in the grass, and the golden and green Xuandan revolved around the old way.

"What an old Taoist!"

Zhong Ming suddenly showed joy, he thought that Zhang Daozhen died in the tide of corpses.

In fact, it is not, it seems that Zhang Daozhen's face is just a little weak, he breathes slowly, and is obviously still alive.

Zhong Ming wanted to move forward, but he didn't want the two-colored Xuandan to suddenly accelerate, and hit Zhong Ming with the sound of breaking the air, if it wasn't for Zhong Ming's vigilance and hiding quickly, he would have to be smashed by Xuandan's head.

There was no way, Zhong Ming could only shout: "Zhang Daochang! Zhang Daochang! Wake up, something is wrong!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Daozhen stood up suddenly, his hands were still pinched, but he didn't have eyes, and he couldn't tell if he woke up from the two big holes.

He woke up, coughed twice, and Zhang Daozhen asked, "Zhong Jushi, what's wrong, so flustered?"

After speaking, Zhang Daozhen withdrew his fingers, pulled out the jade gourd and took back the hovering Xuandan.

Seeing that Lao Dao was indeed fine, Zhong Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Dao Chief, you don't know that the little immortal official of Bai Yujing just now chased after us and wanted to kill us." ”

Subsequently, Zhong Ming told Zhang Daozhen what had just happened.

After hearing this, Zhang Daozhen was thoughtful, and he muttered: "No wonder this corpse can't be suppressed, it turns out that someone is making trouble." ”

Lao Dao's brows frowned, he pinched his fingers for a moment, and said anxiously: "This place is not suitable for a long time, it is a great omen for us and others, I am afraid that there will be disasters next, we should leave quickly." ”

Zhong Ming also nodded quickly, this ghost place has made him fed up with his sins tonight, and he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

So Zhang Daozhen fed Zhang Nianchen a pill to ensure that Zhang Nianchen's internal injuries were safe, Zhong Ming picked up Zhang Nianchen again, and the three of them went to the mud village.
