"Hmm. Sun Wukong nodded. "You're finally awake. How's it going? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, yes, you've been unconscious, but you've made us anxious!" Zhu Bajie leaned his head over and said to Ruan Jiu with an honest face.

"Ah...... How long have I been asleep?" Ruan Jiu said in some surprise.

"Actually, it didn't take long, but your injuries have healed but you haven't woken up, and everyone is a little worried. Sun Wukong explained.

"Oh......"

Ruan Jiu gently rubbed her temples on both sides, and then a commotion caught her attention. When I looked up, I was surprised to find that the flat ground in front of me was densely packed with people. Looking in the direction of the ancient city, there is still a shadow of the city.

"It's ...... What's going on?" Ruan Jiu said in surprise.

Seeing this situation, Sun Wukong briefly told her what happened to her.

After listening to Sun Wukong's narration, Ruan Jiu nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, how did you know to attack that guy from the ground before?" Sun Wukong glanced at Ruan Jiu and asked.

Ruan Jiu touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I also thought of it temporarily. But I didn't expect it to work. ”

"It's a shame that you can think of this method, otherwise Brother Monkey and I wouldn't know how to get out!" Zhu Bajie said.

Ruan Jiu smiled indifferently, but then a trace of sadness flashed on his face.

Sun Wukong knew that she was feeling sorry for the people in the city, so he comforted her and said: "Heavenly Dao cause and effect, some things are not something we can control. What's more, they are all alive now, and as long as they live, there is hope. ”

Ruan Jiu glanced up at Sun Wukong, and a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Early the next morning

After saying goodbye to Meng Ge and the others, the five masters and apprentices embarked on the journey to the west again.

After last night's battle, everyone has consumed a lot, both physically and mentally. In order not to affect the future itinerary, Tang Seng decided to find a place to rest for the time being.

Since there were dense woods all around, everyone found a place to sit.

After eating something briefly, while everyone was there, Ruan Jiu took out the purple glass gourd that Taishang Laojun had given him before.

When Zhu Bajie saw the purple glass gourd, his eyes suddenly lit up: "What kind of treasure is this?"

Ruan Jiu just wanted to explain to him, but Sun Wukong on the side preemptively said: "This is given to Xiao Jiu by the old man, don't fight its idea." ”

Zhu Bajie was a little unhappy, but he twisted his body and said, "Of course I know that this is given to Xiao Jiu by Lao Jun, and I just asked casually." ”

Ruan Jiu smiled faintly, and then poured out three pills with a blue halo from the gourd. Ruan Jiu handed the three blue pills to Sun Wukong: "Senior brother, there are exactly three here." You, Second Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Sha should eat one by themselves. ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"What are you talking about? This is going to be eaten for us?"

Ruan Jiu nodded her forehead cautiously, indicating that she meant that.

Zhu Bajie didn't know these three purple pills, so he asked, "What is this?"

"This is the Dust Cleansing Pill, eating one can increase your cultivation for a thousand years. Ruan Jiu explained.

"One...... A thousand years?"

Hearing Ruan Jiu say that this small pill could actually increase his cultivation by a thousand years, Zhu Bajie was stunned.

"They don't do much to me. It's better to use it for you, so that at least it can strengthen some of our strength throughout the day. Ruan Jiu said.

Sun Wukong shook his head: "I don't need it, this thing is no different from beans to me." ”

"Isn't it useful?" Ruan Jiu frowned slightly.

Sun Wukong nodded: "I didn't eat it less in Lao Jun's alchemy furnace at the beginning, so you better keep it for yourself." ”

Ruan Jiu pondered for a moment, then handed the remaining Dust Cleansing Pill one by one to Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.

"Little junior sister, you better keep it for yourself. This thing...... It's not of much use to us. After Sha Seng finished speaking, he handed the dust cleansing pill in his hand back to Ruan Jiu.

Although Zhu Bajie was a little reluctant, he also knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.

"Well, you'd better eat it yourself. Your practice time is too short, and eating these things is good for you. Zhu Bajie said.

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to accept it, Ruan Jiu had no choice but to sigh.

"Well, since you don't want it, then there's no point in me keeping it. Just throw it away!"

After speaking, Ruan Jiu was about to throw the dust cleansing pill in his hand towards the woods.

"Don't throw it!"

"Wait!"

Her action immediately startled everyone. Sun Wukong frowned and said, "Do you know how precious this Dust Cleansing Pill is? There are countless people in the Three Realms who want to get it. And you want to throw them away?"

"Yes, little junior sister, this is a top-grade elixir refined by Lao Jun himself. Throw it away, whatever you say!" the sand monk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly.

Zhu Bajie was even more frightened into a cold sweat. I saw him carefully holding the Dust Cleansing Pill in his hand, for fear that Ruan Jiu's brain would be hot and snatch it and throw it away.

At this time, Ruan Jiu suddenly burst out laughing.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they understood what was going on.

"Okay, Xiao Jiu, it turns out that you are teasing us!" Zhu Bajie suddenly realized.

Ruan Jiu shook his head: "I'm serious. If you don't want to, then there's no point in me keeping it alone. In that case, it is better to throw it away now. ”

"You ......"

The crowd was speechless for a while. At this time, a soft Buddha horn came into everyone's ears.

"Amitabha, good, good!"

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said softly: "Since this is Xiao Jiu's heart, I think you might as well accept it as a senior brother." ”

Ruan Jiu smiled: "Master, it's still your best!"

Tang Seng smiled and shook his head: "Seeing that your brothers and sisters are so united and loving each other, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart." ”

Because of Tang Seng's persuasion, and Ruan Jiu is likely to really throw away the Dust Cleansing Pill.

So Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had no choice but to swallow the dust cleansing pill in their hands. Because Sun Wukong really didn't need it, this last dust cleansing pill was naturally eaten by Ruan Jiu himself.

Strange to say, this dust cleansing pill melts almost immediately in the mouth. Ruan Jiu originally wanted to taste what it tasted like. As a result, before she could react, the Cleansing Pill completely disappeared from her mouth.

Soon, Ruan Jiu felt a sudden warmth in the dantian. A powerful aura that had never been seen before quickly swept through the body.

In just a few seconds, the demonic power in Ruan Jiu's body had expanded by four or five times compared to before. Not only that, but her perception continues to grow.

Compared with Ruan Jiu's changes, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were much calmer.
