Chapter 52: First Encounter
In the land of yellow sand, somewhere underground in the main hall.
"My lord, I wonder if our previous agreement can still be counted?"
Below the main hall, a young man in a white robe said lightly. The man's expression was indifferent, and he held a blue ink folding fan in his hand.
Above the white-clothed young man, a middle-aged man in black armor slowly walked down the stone steps. The man was burly, and his blue-black eyes emitted a burst of essence in the firelight.
"You have always been true to your word, and I still know that. The middle-aged man said slowly.
"Oh, the king is familiar with us. The young man in white smiled.
The black scorpion waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will naturally help you get what you want." But what you promised me ......"
"This king can rest assured. ”
The young man in white took out a palm-sized cyan brocade box from his arms.
"In order to show our sincerity, the pavilion master specially asked me to hand over this thing to the king first. ”
The black scorpion's eyes lit up, and a brisk stride rushed in front of the man in white. Then he snatched the mirror box in the other party's hand.
The young man in white didn't care, he still stood there and shook the folding fan in his hand.
The black scorpion opened the brocade box tremblingly, and when it saw the contents clearly, it finally let out a sigh.
"How is it, is the king still satisfied?" said the young man in white with a faint smile.
The black scorpion carefully put away the brocade box, looked at the young man in white and said, "It is worthy of the Wujie Pavilion, and he found the things so quickly." ”
"If the king desires something, let us try to find it. ”
"Haha!
The black scorpion was in a good mood and said to the young man in white, "Please rest assured, Your Holiness, it will only take seven days...... Three days later, I presented the crape myrtle stone with both hands and handed it to His Holiness personally. ”
The young man in white put away the folding fan: "Okay! Then I'll wait for the king's good news." ”
After sending off the white-clothed boy, the black scorpion took out the brocade box again.
"I didn't expect that Wujie Pavilion really had some ability, and they really let them find it. The black scorpion caressed the surface of the brocade box, and his eyes were full of joy.
At this time, the little demon in charge of intelligence on the side couldn't help but ask: "King, do you really want to give them the crape myrtle stone? That's a lady's thing, I'm worried about ......."
"What crape myrtle stone? It's just a broken stone. It's just that the lady still thinks it's a baby!" said the black scorpion with a disdainful face.
"That's what I said...... But will she give it to us?" the little demon was still a little worried.
The black scorpion waved his hand: "I have my own way over there, when I catch Tang Seng, don't talk about crape myrtle stone, even if I ask her for a few more treasures, she will be willing to give it to the old man!"
After that, the black scorpion looked at the little demon: "How are the people outside?
"The king doesn't have to worry, as long as Tang Seng and the others enter this sandy land, there is no possibility of escape. ”
The black scorpion nodded: "Tell me to go down and let everyone above be smarter." If I mess things up, I'll be the first to kill them!"
"Yes, King!"
......
At the moment, in the corridor of the outer hall. Two strange-looking little goblins were staring at the ground with a bewildered expression.
"Brother, did you say we caught the wrong person?" said one of the little demons with a green tentacle on the top of his head, frowning slightly.
"Hmm...... Isn't that right?" replied the youkai with an extremely long ear, somewhat uncertain.
"The king asked us to arrest Tang Seng, but I heard that Tang Seng is a monk. This girl...... No matter how you look at it, it's not a monk, right?" said the tentacle demon to himself.
"It's all your fault, and you rushed to catch it before you saw it. How's it going? Got the wrong catch?" grumbled the long-eared goblin.
As soon as the tentacle demon heard this, he immediately became angry.
"Okay, you still blame me? If you hadn't been urging me in the back, would I have been in such a hurry? It's obviously your fault!"
"No! it's your fault!"
......
Just as the two were arguing, a white figure suddenly walked behind them. Seeing that there were two little demons blocking the road, the young man in white raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What's the matter, you two?" the young man asked in a voice.
This sudden voice directly startled the two little demons. When they saw a human standing behind them, the two couldn't help but show their fierce faces.
"Humans?"
"Let's catch it first!"
"Hey...... Listen to me. ”
However, without waiting for the young man in white to explain, the two little demons quickly rushed towards him. Looking at this posture, I want to knock down the young man in white at the same time.
"Alas......"
The young man in white sighed, and suddenly raised his right hand. The folding fan in his hand clicked on the foreheads of the two little demons like a dragonfly.
In an instant, the two little demons fell to the ground on their backs as if they had been frozen.
"Listen to my explanation, why don't you listen?" the young man in white shrugged helplessly. However, just as he was about to leave, his eyes swept the ground. As a result, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned at a glance.
"Is that her?"
The young man in white grinned with interest, and when he saw that the person on the ground was still unconscious, he stepped forward and gently fanned her face.
After a moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you awake ......"
Before the young man in white finished speaking, he saw a white light flash in front of him. Fortunately, he reacted extremely quickly, and his body flashed backwards before he could dodge the blow.
Ruan Jiu stared at the figure in front of him with a wary expression, secretly surprised in his heart. The moment she woke up just now, she saw a person staring at her, and the most important thing was that the person was only less than half a meter away from her. In an instinctive reaction, she slapped the other person directly in the face. Although it didn't hit in the end, at least it successfully forced the opponent backwards.
"Who are you?" Ruan Jiu secretly glanced around, and found that he was actually in a corridor, and his heart couldn't help but be even more surprised. Memory, I seem to have been sucked into the sand by a force. How did you wake up and end up in such a place?
The young man in white looked at Ruan Jiu with interest, and suddenly came directly in front of Ruan Jiu.
"I say, are you just so thankful for your savior?"
"Life-saving benefactor?" Ruan Jiu was slightly stunned.
The young man in white smiled and pointed to the two demons on the ground who were still unconscious, and said, "Look, in order to save you, I fought a battle to the death with them. ”
Ruan Jiu was slightly stunned, she thought that the other party was joking. But when she looked at the two monsters lying on the ground, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, the young man in white looked very hurt.
"Alas...... That's it, no one believes in doing good deeds now. Then he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. ”
Ruan Jiu thought about it and finally decided to choose to believe the other party.
"Well, I was abrupt just now. Thank you for saving me. ”
The young man in white smiled faintly: "It's just a trivial matter." By the way, how did you get caught by them?"
