Candles creaked in the small room.

Taishang raised his head slightly, and his gaze fell directly through the window to the monkey on the balcony in the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

"Is that so, old man?"

"Huh?" Turning around, Taishang saw the wind chime sitting in front of him pointing to the runes on the bamboo slips and asked.

Reaching out to pick up the bamboo slip, Taishang squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, stroked his long beard and said, "It still needs to be changed here." 'Even' should be replaced with 'no', otherwise the circle will be wrong after two months of operation, and it will be troublesome to repair it at that time. Not so on this side, a 'revelation' should be added. If the two 'palaces' are used together, if there is no 'enlightenment', they will conflict with each other. I said, little girl, these should be the basis of the magic circle rune technique, didn't your master teach you?"

With that, he handed the bamboo slip back.

"Nope. Feng Chime took the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "The master said, the road to cultivating immortals, first Ming Dao, and then learn the technique." These magic circle sigils are nothing more than supplements, and they don't matter. Wind chimes are far from the time to start learning this. Fortunately, I read some books on this subject in my spare time on weekdays, otherwise I wouldn't understand the wind chimes you just said, sir. ”

"That's how your master taught you? Hehe, it follows the ancient style, and there are very few people who teach apprentices like this now. As he spoke, Taishang raised his head and looked in the direction of the balcony, and thought silently: "How come this apprentice from the same master is so far behind? ”

By this time, the monkey on the balcony had long since left.

The towering gates slammed open, accompanied by the sound of chains grinding. The drawbridge was slowly lowered. The monkey strode out.

A breeze swept through. Roll up a little dust.

On the other side of the moat, covered with sharpened stumps that had not yet been diverted, the hydra stood alone.

Compared to the huge suspension bridge that is five feet high, the naked figure looks extremely thin, and if you meet someone you don't know, no one can imagine that this is the incarnation of an ancient beast.

At this moment, the nine-headed insect didn't look like the playful look when they first saw it, but was a little more worried and haggard.

Even when he was trapped yesterday, I didn't see him like this, which couldn't help but make the monkey have a trace of doubt.

Seeing the monkey come out, the nine-headed insect hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The nine-headed insect has seen the Monkey King." ”

That's polite...... It's a bit like a hydra.

"What? Are you really in love with me here? Let you go. Come back?" the monkey smiled sadively and walked up to him.

The guards on the city wall behind him were on guard, and countless pairs of eyes were vigilantly staring at the two people in the open space outside the city gate.

The nine-headed insect took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, hesitating and whispering, "I heard that you have a peach here." ”

"Peach?" the monkey raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the hydra and asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"It doesn't matter where you heard it, right? Ming people don't say secret words, and you don't deny it. ”

There really are no impermeable walls in this world.

The monkey lowered his head and twisted his wrist guards, and said leisurely, "What? ”

"Yes, I want to ask you for one. ”

"You shouldn't need it yet, right?

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

"Ask me for something and let me leave it alone. Then I don't care. With that, the monkey turned around and was about to enter the city.

See this. The nine-headed insect was shocked, and hurriedly walked in front of the monkey: "Don't go yet." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he could already hear the squeak of a bow drawn from the head of the city behind him, and the crossbow arrows emitted a cold light in the night and pointed directly at his back.

The monkey smiled and stared at the nine-headed insect and said, "Then you say, who is the peach going to give it to?"

"Here, for my father-in-law. The hydra gritted its teeth and replied helplessly.

"To your father-in-law, the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King?"

"Yes, it's the Dragon King of All Saints. ”

"How long does he have left?"

"Today, I caught a few enlightened Taoist monks, saying that their longevity is about to end, and they have two months to live at most. ”

"Two months?"

If there are only two months left, it is no wonder that the hydra is in such a hurry. Now it is still far from the peach banquet, no matter what method is used, let alone a monster, even if he is an immortal, it is difficult to get a peach within two months.

How superb Li Jing's wrist was at the beginning, didn't it take a year or so to get a hundred peaches?

If you want to get a peach from the peach orchard, not to mention whether the queen mother agrees or not, it has been more than two months just to go to the registration queue and wait to meet the queen mother.

As for Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit, not everyone can get it.

The monkey nodded silently: "It's really urgent." But this thing is very precious, and you and I can't talk about friendship, what are you going to exchange it for?"

"What do you want?" asked the hydra rhetorically.

"I really don't want anything, or rather, I really want something you can't afford anyway. ”

Hearing this, the nine-headed insect was already a little impatient, he turned his head and pointed to the fleet of the South Heavenly Gate on the horizon and shouted, "I can help you catch Nezha too, or if you want to grow the Heavenly King, you can do it." How's it going, two, I'll catch it now, as long as you agree!"

This is already the highest price he can offer.

The hydra's eyes widened and he stared at the monkey.

If you want to directly defeat the enemy general among the 180,000 heavenly army, let alone the nine-headed worm, even if you add the monkey, the two Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators attack at the same time, and they dare not guarantee that they will succeed. It's even more likely to fail, and it's not surprising that one accidentally loses himself to it.

But the question is, do monkeys need this?

Saying this, it can only mean that this nine-headed insect has been messed up.

After a long time, I saw the monkey smile faintly and shake his head slowly.

The hydra was a little deflated, and clenched his fists tightly.

In fact, before he came, he had expected that he might be rejected outright, but that feeling of aggrieved still made him want to turn into a demon body and burn the entire demon city now.

But he can't, not to mention whether the monkey will let him do this, the key is that once he does this, then Pan Tao won't even think about it.

Gritting his teeth, the nine-headed insect said in a low voice: "Then, what do you have to do to give me a peach?"

"I won't hide it from you, I still have sixty-five peaches in my hand. ”

"Sixty-five!" the hydra was taken aback.

"Yes, sixty-five. Those are all intended to be used to reward the demons who have made meritorious contributions in Huaguo Mountain. ”

"Then how about me joining your Huaguo Mountain? With my ability, I should be able to get one, right?"

"You heard clearly, it's the 'meritorious demons', not the 'demons'. Even if you join now, will you be able to make enough contributions in two months?" The monkey stared at the nine-headed insect and said slowly: "Huaguo Mountain is not my own Huaguo Mountain, these sixty-five peaches are considered public property." ”

The nine-headed insect sneered: "What about monsters and public property, don't be perfunctory with me, what conditions do you want to open directly." I don't believe that my nine-headed worm is not worth a peach!" (To be continued......)
