Chapter 221 There is someone living in your heart
"Wow, what a cute little monkey~"
Seeing the giant ape showing its original shape, everyone was shocked. Tang Xuejian grabbed Sedum, stepped forward to stroke the little monkey's head, and said to Sedum, "It's so cute, don't hurt it."
The monkey demon was dissatisfied: "Don't touch my head! I won't grow tall!"
Sedum pouted, deliberately teasing it, imitating Xuejian's way of reaching out to touch it, the monkey demon jumped up in anger, grabbed Sedum's palm, and said anxiously: "Stop! You can't be humiliated, you can't be humiliated. Your subordinates, if you want to kill or cut, you will do as you please, but if you want to humiliate Lao Tzu, it is absolutely impossible!"
"Little monkey misunderstood, we are not going to take your life, but want to ask you for the earth spirit beads." Seeing the movements of the monkey monster and Sedum sedum, Zhou Ji's eyes were fixed, and he stepped forward to touch the monkey monster. Head, chuckled lightly.
The monkey demon jumped onto the nearby stone nimbly, put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't call me a little monkey! I don't change my surname when I go, and I don't change my name when I sit down. I'm the disciple of Li Hankong, a Bashu thief, Jingjing!"
As Jingjing said, he stretched out his hand and took it out from behind his waist, but he was stunned when he touched it, "Where are the things? Where are my things?" Jingjing turned her head to look behind her, and turned several times in the same place, searching up and down quickly Suddenly, it saw a bronze mirror-style communicator dangling in front of its eyes.
"Are you looking for this?" Zhou Ji smiled and threw the communicator to Sedum.
Jing Tian took it and saw that it was indeed the one that Xu Changqing gave him. He quickly reached out and touched his bosom, and was surprised to find that the communicator was gone, "Old Zhou, when did you steal it? I don't even know, you There is still this hand."
Jingjing was even more surprised than Sedum. It studied under the Bashu thief Li Hankong, and its "Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds Hand" is a unique skill. The treasure it just stole was stolen without anyone knowing. Looking at Zhou Ji strangely, he looked up and down and said, "Are you also Master's disciple?"
"I have never met your master, and we have been friends for a long time." Zhou Ji smiled lightly, showing a rare confidence and arrogance in him who has always been gentle and humble.
In Jingjing's view, a junior who is a junior is so arrogant, he pouted his neck and said stiffly: "This time it's because I'm not good at learning, it's not that the boss Feilong Tanyun is inferior to you."
"After studying for three hundred years, you are not good at it. It seems that your aptitude is nothing more than that." Zhou Ji glanced at the aggrieved Jingjing, then glanced at Jingtian, and said with a smile: "Brother Jing is deeply blessed and talented. He is extraordinary, he has never even fought against anyone before fighting with you, if you refuse to accept, you can pass this technique on to him, and it will also count as the grace of not killing just now."
Pausing for a moment, Zhou Ji said quietly, "The thief Li Hankong has been dead for three hundred years, and his reputation is long gone. Although you are his disciple, as a monster, you can only shrink here. If this technique is passed on to this little brother, it can be regarded as the continuation of the inheritance of the hero Li Hankong, and let the name of the hero reappear in the world."
"This" Jingjing hesitated for a moment, hammered his thigh, and said: "I never owe favors, boy, I think you are also destined to me, so I will pass on my master's unique skill 'Flying Dragon and Cloud Exploring Hand' to you!"
Jing Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Okay! Teach me!"
Jingjing nodded, asked Sedum to come over, said the formula in his ear, and asked Sedum to recite it. Jing Tian is proficient at calculating accounts, so her memory is naturally excellent, and she memorized it quickly.
Jingjing said: "Practice hard, don't lose my title as the boss."
Jing Tian nodded again and again, agreed, and learned thaumaturgy, Jing Tian suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and asked quickly: "By the way, do you know where the Earth Spirit Orb is?"
Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Earth Orb? It's useless, no one should think about it. It was snatched away by Guteng old monster long ago, and I don't know which tree hole it is hidden in."
Jing Tian said: "Tell me where the old man is, and we will find him."
Jingjing said: "It's useless to look for it, it has thousands of years of Taoism, it's amazing! Although he stands there without moving, his vine roots can extend thousands of miles, and they are more flexible than arms!"
"Thousands of years?" Zhou Ji said with a smile: "Since it is so powerful, of course we have to see it!"
"Cut~ I know that your stealing skills are extremely high, but the gap in cultivation cannot be filled by this skill." Jingjing curled the corner of her mouth and said disdainfully: "Stop bragging, you guys~ you can't beat it at all!" it."
"Hey! What are you talking to it? You'll know if you've tried it or not?" Hong Kui heard that, her red hair flew out of thin air like a burning flame, her eyes were red, and she held a longbow in her hand. The ancient divine power emanating from his body made Jing Jing's scalp tingle.
Zhou Ji glanced at Hongkui, and raised his hand to flick her forehead. Hongkui subconsciously embraced her with both hands, and the red light of her flying hair went out and fell down naturally.
"What are you doing~!" Hongkui took half a step back and stared aggressively at Zhou Jixu's raised finger. Zhou Ji smiled and said, "It's just a disagreement, why should you look so murderous? Maybe that old monster Guteng is Won't you fight us?"
Turning around and asking Jingjing where the old monster Guteng was, everyone started walking towards the depths of the vine forest.
The vine forest was deep and deep. When they reached a stone platform, they were blocked by a large net made of vines and could not pass through.
Jing Tian said: "This road is blocked, what should I do?"
Xu Changqing said with a serious face: "The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger here. I think these vines are deliberately made by someone, trying to block us here."
"Then what should we do?" Jing Tian turned his head to look at Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji's eyes were bright, and he smiled lightly, "If someone blocks it, just cut it off."
"Stop! Do not hack!"
As soon as the words fell, an old voice was heard from the side, a green light emerged, and an old man was seen standing on a high platform.
Dressed in a green robe, with a complexion like a tree trunk, green vines growing on his head, and a cane in his hand.
"Surely this is Guteng old monster?" Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows.
Xu Changqing clasped his fingers and protected Tang Xuejian with Hongkui on the left and right, while Sedum held two swords and stood side by side with Zhou Ji, yelling: "Old monster Guteng, don't be arrogant, come down if you have the guts! Let's fight with Lao Tzu!"
The old man Guteng said angrily: "Why are young people so rude nowadays! The old man is old man Guteng, and he is a fairy; old monster Guteng is a demon, a fairy is a fairy, and a demon is a demon. The two are completely different. You don't even have the vision, haha Haha, young people these days are really outrageous."
"You still dare to call yourself an immortal while the evil spirit is still there?" Zhou Ji looked at Old Man Guteng with a smile that was not a smile, and Old Man Guteng was a little scared by Zhou Ji's eyes, but this is its home field, and the big Guteng forest is his body Therefore, even if you don't know what Zhou Ji has to rely on, you won't be too jealous.
"Little baby really doesn't know what to do. I'm blocking you because I don't want you to die in vain." Gu Teng's eyes swept over the crowd, as if he had a fairy-like and kind appearance.
Jing Tian didn't know the origin of the other party, but was bluffed by the old man Guteng, and begged: "Old man Guteng, it is a matter of life and death that we are going to find old monster Guteng, please give us a way!"
Xue Jian asked: "How did you win?"
"I can read minds, and I can guess what your hearts desire." Gu Teng laughed, and said with complacency: "If I guess right, you don't want to leave, stay here with me, an old man, anyway, I don't want to leave." I won't live for a few days"
Jingtian and Tang Xue were all happy when they saw each other, and they were about to agree, but they heard the second part of the old man Guteng's words, "I will be buried in the earth in another three to five hundred years, and then you don't have to accompany me anymore; if I I lost, everyone please."
Zhou Ji knew that Tang Xuejian had a special identity, and the old man Guteng didn't dare to tell even if he saw through it, so he laughed loudly: "It's only three to five hundred years, if we lose, I'll just stay here with you."
Old man Guteng's strokes of his beard froze suddenly, and even a white beard was pulled out.
Swallowing saliva secretly in his heart, the old man Guteng gave Zhou Ji a weird look, and his spirit kept warning, as if he saw a natural enemy.
"Old Zhou!" "Brother Zhou!"
Jing Tian, Xu Changqing, and Tang Xuejian hurriedly called Zhou Ji to stop, and Hong Kui next to her opened her mouth. Although she didn't speak, the burning red light in her eyes still expressed her inner anxiety.
The feeling of "natural enemy" is fleeting, and it is more of an illusion of "same kind".
Old man Guteng thought: "From now on, which one of you will come first?"
Jing Tian thought in his heart that no matter what he said, he just denied it.
So he held up the two swords, walked forward with a proud face, and said swaggeringly: "I am the protagonist, of course I will come first!"
Old man Guteng nodded, glanced at Sedum, and said, "You love your father's Yong'an Dang, your friend Maoshan, and the girl Xuejian and sister Solanum nigrum next to you, right?"
As soon as this remark came out, Sedum's head buzzed, and it turned red. She looked at Tang Xuejian subconsciously, and quickly waved her hand and said, "No! You are talking nonsense! I don't! Who would like this unruly, capricious young lady with a dead temper? Pig woman!"
"Dead Caiya!" Tang Xuejian also felt her cheeks burning at this moment, but seeing Sedum's frenzied denial, she also stepped on Sedum's foot fiercely in anger.
"Hehehe~ It seems that I am right." The old man Guteng continued, "You still love antiques, and the magic sword and demon-suppressing sword you carry on your back are your favorites."
Sedum was told to break his heart, and now he was so ashamed and angry that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
The old man Gu Teng looked at Xu Changqing next to him, and said with a smile: "You long for immortality and becoming a fairy, but these desires are brought to you by the education you have received since childhood, not what you really want in your heart."
Xu Changqing shook his head and said: "Senior, you are wrong. Changqing is a monk. The way of immortality is what Changqing has pursued all his life. Even if there is no teacher's teaching, Changqing will definitely embark on this path."
The old man Guteng continued: "Immortal Dao is just a way to fill the emptiness in your heart. It can be a fairy, a Buddha, or human love. It just depends on how you choose in the end."
"The heart is empty." Xu Changqing was speechless, he suddenly thought of the purple girl named Zixuan, she told him many things, about his past life, about their past.
Said that one broke the defense and the other, Zhou Ji was a little dumbfounded, thinking that this old man really has something.
When Old Man Guteng turned to Solanum nigrum, he saw a red light swish away from the corner of the skirt, and at the moment when red and blue alternated, he could vaguely see a pair of flustered red pupils.
"Yeah~" Solanum nigrum raised the corner of the blue skirt, and looked at the surrounding scene a little cutely, completely unaware of what happened.
Old man Guteng looked at Solanum nigrum's pure and clean eyes, and said with a smile, "Little girl, what you desire most is to be by your brother's side."
Before Solanum nigrum reacted, the old man Guteng continued with a serious expression: "It's just... the one you love may leave you one day."
Jing Tian no longer admits to the old man Gu Teng, but he still believes in him a little bit in his heart, turning his head to look at Solanum nigrum, and softly said: "Sister, don't worry, I will always be with you."
A red light ignited from the corner of the skirt, and quickly spread upwards. Hongkui slightly nodded at Sedum, and turned to glance at Zhou Ji.
Old man Guteng narrowed his eyes, and said several times, "Weird."
After pondering for a moment, Old Man Guteng frowned and said, "There is a person in your heart, and what you long for is to wake her up."
Zhou Ji was stunned when he heard the words, Hongkui and Sedum were also stunned at the same time.
Ever since they met Zhou Ji, they had never heard Zhou Ji mention this matter. Even though Solanum nigrum knew him eight hundred years ago, they only knew that his chest was full of evil spirits, but they didn't know the origin of this evil spirit. .
A complex expression flashed in his eyes, as if a dancing flame gradually dimmed and extinguished.
The red light gradually faded, and Lan Kui looked at the remaining red light at the corner of the skirt with a sense of loss, watching it fade into sky blue little by little.
"It's just that your heart is full of regrets. Even if you complete this one, you still have other regrets. You are eager to complete it."
"You got the answer right." With his palm lightly placed on his heart, Zhou Ji smiled and took a step back noncommittally.
Tang Xue, who had only one seedling left, glanced at the black nightshade that had turned back into blue, and then at Zhou Ji, suppressing the gossip thoughts in her heart, and said distressedly: "This is all right, let him guess it all, can it be possible?" Are you really letting Daxia Zhou stay here for three to five hundred years?"
"What are you afraid of? We still have a secret weapon!" Sedum whispered something to Tang Xuejian, then raised her head and said, "Old man, can you guess what it is thinking?"
Tang Xuejian summoned the jacaranda, but the old man Guteng revealed its origin at a glance, and said that what it desires most is that the world loves all things in the world and follows the laws of nature; and it most wants to protect the girl Xuejian beside him.
Finally, when it came to Tang Xuejian, the old man Guteng didn't dare to tell the truth after all, so he made a mysterious calculation for a while, and then took the initiative to admit defeat.
"Old monster Guteng is inside, and the things you want are also inside. Everyone, please." After the old man Guteng said, with a wave of his right hand, the big net made of rattan disappeared immediately, revealing the original path.
