Outside Wangxian Tower is a dense purple bamboo forest. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The cool breeze passed through the forest, blowing the cold sweat on Su Ji's forehead.

I don't know how far he ran in one breath, he really couldn't run, he went into the woods, leaned on a bamboo and panted, just hoping that Shopkeeper Xiao wouldn't chase after him.

After a gasp, he slowly looked up and began to feel a sense of dazedness. The bamboos in this purple bamboo forest look exactly the same, and they are even more dazzling than the Shenhou Mansion in the dense forest. He felt that if he continued to walk, he would definitely starve to death here because he got lost.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Xiao has not caught up.

Su Ji leaned on the bamboo, and the feeling of wine gradually came to his mind, making him vaguely sleepy. He braced his eyes hard, trying not to fall asleep. As the heavy breathing gradually lightened, the ears faintly picked up a sound. It was as if there was a person talking to himself somewhere in the purple bamboo forest.

The sound is getting closer and louder, but no one can be seen.

Su Ji began to feel uneasy, and used the fox pupil to take a fixed look, and found that there was indeed a vague figure in the distance, slowly coming this way.

As the figure gradually approached, Su Ji suddenly felt creepy, and the wine was suddenly lost with cold sweat!

The shadow is not a human, it is a monster!

The monster grew a leg, and it jumped and jumped, a little scary, and a little funny.

The sound of self-talk came from the monster's mouth. It had words, but it couldn't hear what was being said.

Su Ji lightly hid in the bamboo forest, and listened carefully, this monster was counting bamboo.

"Three thousand four hundred twenty-two, three thousand four hundred twenty-three, three thousand four hundred and twenty-four......"

The monster counted the bamboos intently, not noticing Su Ji's existence in the slightest.

Su Ji cautiously opened one eye, only to see that the monster was one and a half feet tall, and its whole body was covered with shiny scales. The head is like a camel, the neck is like a goose, the body is like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, the whiskers on the lips are like shrimp, the ears and eyes are bulging outward, and there is a tiger's single leg.

This monster is weird-looking and very funny. If it were normal, Su Ji would definitely be tempted to go over and see what it was, but now that he was on the way to escape, he just wanted to leave this purple bamboo forest as soon as possible, and he just hoped that this monster would pass in front of him quickly.

"Three thousand four hundred forty-seven, three thousand four hundred forty-eight, three thousand four hundred forty-nine......"

The monster counted the bamboos intently as it pointed with its pointed talon fingers. After counting the bamboos in front of Su Ji, the monster continued to walk forward.

Su Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the monster's footsteps suddenly stopped, and it began to sniff sharply with its nose.

Su Ji felt that something was wrong, so he immediately cut a gap with his foot and wanted to escape in.

Unexpectedly, he had just put one foot into the gap when the monster suddenly jumped over with a "whoosh" and lifted Su Ji into the air with one claw!

The Hongjun bell on the waist made a crisp sound of "jingle bell"!

However, the monster did not react at all.

Su Ji was stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while. This seemingly clumsy monster is actually surprisingly fast in action, even faster than anyone Su Ji has seen so far, and even Qingli is afraid of Hongjun Ling, this monster is not afraid at all!

The monster blinked its small eyes on both sides of its head, looked at Su Ji from top to bottom, and greeted politely:

"Woman...... Hello. ”

Su Ji was really a little crying and laughing, this monster actually called himself a "woman"?

"I'm a man! let me down!" Su Ji struggled and shouted.

The monster blinked, slowly put Su Ji down, and muttered blankly:

"I remember that only the Master and the woman would wear their hair in a drape. Not Master...... That's the woman. ”

Su Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Who is the master who dares to ask Your Excellency?"

"My master's name is Jiang Shang. ”

Su Ji was suddenly stunned, but he didn't expect this monster to claim that his master was Jiang Taigong. But after thinking about it, Su Ji recalled that when he was a child, he heard that Jiang Taigong seemed to have accepted a spirit beast like a tiger and a dragon as an apprentice.

What is the specific name of that spirit beast, Su Ji doesn't remember, he only remembers that the spirit beast is a different species born from the intersection of a dragon and a leopard in the Shaohao period, cultivating for thousands of years, collecting the aura of heaven and earth, and receiving the essence of the sun and the moon. It is said that two hundred and fifty years ago, during the period of the gods, the spirit beast once performed many miraculous feats, but unfortunately it was later killed by the giant Wu Wenhua.

Now that Jiang Taigong's spirit beast apprentice is dead, what is this monster in front of him now?

"May I ask your Excellency's name?" asked Su Ji.

"My name is Dragon Beard. ”

Su Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, as if yes, that spirit beast seemed to be called this name. He tied his long hair into a bun with a strip of cloth and said to the dragon-bearded tiger:

"Brother Long, please look, it's my man now. ”

The dragon's beard and tiger's eyebrows furrowed, he lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered:

"I remember that Shopkeeper Xiao seems to have said...... The man should eat the ...... immediately."

Shopkeeper Xiao?

Su Ji was stunned again, could it be that this monster of bamboo was a forest keeper sent by Shopkeeper Xiao? Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Su Ji hurriedly pulled off the strip of cloth in his hair.

The dragon's bearded tiger eyes showed a fierce light, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that Su Ji had turned into a loose hair again.

"Hey, you were a man just now, why did you become a woman again?"

Su Ji looked up at the sky and replied: "Everything in the world is changing, all seasons are changing, and people are also changing. Women, in particular, are fickle animals. ”

"Like...... Makes sense. Master always told me that if you are ugly, you should study more. ”

The dragon bearded tiger nodded stupidly, and his two paws clapped his hands like applause.

Looking back at the shopkeeper Xiao who didn't chase after him, Su Ji rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"Brother Long is not ugly. Your dignity is unprecedented, especially your two beards, long but not pointed, straight but not curved, are simply the best in the world. ”

Hearing that Su Ji was praising him, the dragon beard shook the long beard on the side of his mouth proudly, and said with a smug smile:

"Hey, hey, shopkeeper Xiao said the same thing. ”

It's Shopkeeper Xiao again. Su Ji didn't expect that Shopkeeper Xiao would actually deceive this spirit beast with rhetoric, and let it, a spirit beast from two hundred and fifty years ago, guard the bamboo forest.

Su Ji asked, "Didn't the shopkeeper Xiao teach you, how to deal with a weak woman who is lost?"

The dragon bearded tiger nodded, scratched his head again, and smirked: "You have to treat women well." ”

"What's a good way?"

Long Xuhu replied with a humble face: "Strip the woman's clothes...... Take it back. Shopkeeper Xiao wants to invite her to the house for tea. ”

The corners of Su Ji's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Drink tea...... Do you need to strip naked?"

"Shopkeeper Xiao said that when drinking tea, you must calm your mind and remove all worldly distractions, so you must 'see each other sincerely'. ”

Su Ji smacked his tongue, and the seemingly polite shopkeeper Xiao turned out to be a sanctimonious and well-dressed beast.

The dragon bearded tiger seemed to have already seen that Su Ji was about to slip away, and at the moment when Su Ji's body just moved, he suddenly hooked his clothes with his claws!

Su Ji gasped, he didn't expect that this stupid monster was not only agile, but also able to predict the prophet, even Jiang Xuan, who had been in a hundred battles, could not strike as preemptively as it.

Seeing that the dragon bearded tiger was about to cut his clothes with his claws, Su Ji hurriedly stopped loudly:

"Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, you don't want to drink tea with Shopkeeper Xiao?"

"Who said that? I like tea the most, but I have to ask you a question first. ”

"What's the problem?" asked the dragon-bearded tiger, tilting his head.

"I want to ask Brother Long this year?"

"Kneel watch?"

"How long have you lived?"

The dragon bearded tiger was stunned for a long time, wrenched his claws, and began to count them one by one:

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ......"

When the count of "eight" suddenly stopped, and the dragon bearded tiger let out a long sigh.

"Why don't you count?" asked Su Ji curiously.

The dragon's beard and tiger looked embarrassed and sighed: "There are not enough fingers......

Su Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud, he couldn't imagine that Jiang Taigong, who was a god in the past, actually accepted an idiot as an apprentice, but if you think about it carefully, it is no wonder that except for Jiang Taigong's senior brother who has not seen it at present, whether it is the fierce and vicious Jiang Xuan, or the sloppy Taijia Zhenren, they are not normal people with good rules.

Sighing secretly, Su Ji really didn't want to talk to this idiot, so he smiled:

"Since we don't have enough claws, why don't we count the bamboos here. I don't think you're as old as the bamboo here. ”

"How do you know?" asked the dragon bearded tiger, unconvinced.

Su Ji looked at the dragon beard and tiger, and couldn't figure out whether this monster was really stupid or fake.

"Don't believe me? ”

The bamboos in this purple bamboo forest are criss-crossed, densely packed, not to mention a stupid idiot, even Jiang Taigong is afraid that it will be difficult to count clearly.

Long Xuhu looked bitter and said pitifully: "You must not lie to me, the person who deceived me last year is still in my belly." ”

Su Ji secretly sneered, if this monster is not fooled, then this monster's demented appearance must be pretended.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine......"

The dragon bearded tiger actually counted it out of his mind!

Su Ji shook his head, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was really a big forest, and there were all kinds of monsters, and he really met an idiot who was amazing.

The dragon bearded tiger counted the bamboos intently, completely unaware that Su Ji had left.

Su Ji felt that this dragon bearded tiger was really funny, but it was also really elusive. But now he didn't have the heart to think about the dragon and the tiger, because there was a bigger problem waiting for him to solve. How do you get out of this weird purple bamboo forest in front of you?
