Guest arrived at 4:49
"I am Jinglu." The round-faced senior looked very gentle: "Come in, I've heard of you, you're a disciple of Master Yu Xia, right? You're really lucky, this time's matter was too dangerous. You and Master Jinghai just said goodbye when the demon arrived, if you were late by one step, you would have been in danger."
Autumn nodded slightly.
Jing Lu couldn't help but pat her head: "Don't be afraid, this place is safer than anywhere else. Because Huang Zhanglao is refining equipment here, we're all surrounded by earth fire energy, and monsters don't like this smell... I heard that in the past, when they caught a monster, some would cut off its head but it wouldn't die, so they'd put it in the refining furnace and refine it into ash..."
……
Qiu Qiu felt that this Master Jing Lu was a bit too talkative, and his words were simply endless. Moreover, his topics were extremely erratic, making people often jump along with him - just when they finally managed to catch up with him on one frequency, he would switch channels again.
"Huang Zhanglao lives in the main courtyard, don't go disturb him if you have nothing important..."
However, the elder rarely shows up in daily life, he is always traveling outside collecting various materials.
Autumn nodded slightly.
"Jingyue Shixiong is a great person, very considerate of his fellow disciples. If you ask me, it would have been better if you had stayed with us from the start. Lianhuafeng is too far away, and Yuanshui Zhenren... well, not to speak ill of him, but he's somewhat lacking in magnanimity."
"Sister, when did you become an apprentice?"
"Right, I heard that Master and Uncle Master have already trapped the demon with their magic treasure."
"You can stay here for now, Sister."
Thank goodness that sentence finally came back. Qiu Qiu curiously grasped the words he had just said: "Has that demon been caught?"
"It's not caught, it's trapped." Jing Lu patiently explained to her little junior sister: "You also know that the demon has no physical form, right?"
"Yes." This was something she had seen with her own eyes, looking like a wisp of smoke - what would it feel like to touch? Was it like water or silk? Or perhaps like semi-transparent jelly?
"So there's no way to kill it." Jing Lu drew a picture: "For example, look at my arm, it's plump and tender. If you stab it with a sword, what will happen?"
"To be honest, it will hurt."
This three-year-old kid also knows it.
"Exactly, that's the problem. This demon doesn't have a physical body, it's just like a shadow. Try cutting your own shadow in half with a sword, can you do it?"
Of course not.
No need for Qinglu to explain further, Qiuqiu understood.
"So I heard that it was trapped with a Fa Bao and couldn't escape, but for the time being, it wouldn't die either."
There are many ways to kill monsters, and Jing Lu just mentioned that even the earth fire used for refining equipment can burn some monsters to death.
But this question was soon answered by Qiū Qiū.
The demon's rebirth is no small matter, especially one of this caliber. Where did it come from? How did it attach itself to Jing Fei's body? Does it have any accomplices? There are many questions, and simply trying to extinguish it won't solve the problem.
This also involved Zhang Yang Zhen Ren, after all, the matter occurred on his turf, and Zhang Yang Zhen Ren had to give Li Shui Jian Pai an explanation.
However, this also involves Wulou Mountain. Zhangyang Zhenren is from Wulou Mountain. The old and young of Wulou Mountain are all good at practicing alchemy and making medicine. In terms of strength, they cannot be compared to Xiuyuan Mountain. However, Xiuyuan Mountain also has many places that rely on them, and the relationship between the two sides can be said to be very subtle. The current leader of Wulou Mountain is Changxiu Shandu, who has a good relationship with Xiuyuan Mountain.
The demon's appearance is something that should be reported to them for both emotional and rational reasons. With the demon trapped here, Yu Qing Zhen Ren has already sent out a notice.
In short, monsters are meant to be killed, but they can't be killed that easily.
Although I know that the master and elder's handling is not wrong, this matter cannot be taken lightly. The origin of this demon must be thoroughly investigated, and if it has accomplices, it will be even more unbearable.
But for some reason, Qiuqiu's heart kept surfacing with a sentence: The night is long and the dreams are many.
It's just her feeling, no evidence, no reason, and even if she says it out loud, nobody will listen to her.
Although the demon was caught, Qiuqiu didn't let her guard down. The small furballs were still safer in their bottles for the time being. Da Bai and Erbai were released from the乾坤袋 to get some air and eat something. When Jinglu came in, the two of them tried to hide, but their movements weren't quick enough. Jinglu saw the two rabbits tied behind Qiuqiu's back, with only their upper bodies covered up, while their plump buttocks and short tails were exposed. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and after laughing for half a day, she finally asked: "Sister, where did these rabbits come from?"
Qiu Qiu admitted: "I raised them." He then dragged out the couple who had abandoned their child: "To pay respects to Master Jinglu."
Dà bái èr bái hěn tōng líng xìng, xiàng mó xiàng de gěi jìng lú zuò yè, xiǎo yàng ér bié tí duō méng le.
Translation:
The big white and the second white are very spiritual, they give Jinglu a salute in a cute way, don't even mention how cute the little ones are.
Jing Lu smiled and stroked the rabbit's ears: "Really obedient, can't be young anymore? Rarely so clever. What do they eat? I'll find some yellow pine seeds or something to send over later."
"Big brother, why did you come so late? Is there something going on?"
Jing Lu suddenly remembered that he had something to attend to, and slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I completely forgot. Huang Zhanglao is back, let your Shifu go over for a visit."
When living in someone's house, one must meet the host at least once.
Qiuqiu put away Da Bai and Erbai, then followed Jinglu to see Old Man Huang.
With the psychological preparation of having met Wei Lao before, Qiuqiu felt that any elder would definitely be stern and serious with a face full of killing intent, only treating those close to them with kindness. But Huang Lao was not at all what she had imagined. In fact, if Jing Lu hadn't said this was Huang Lao, Qiuqiu really thought he was just an ironworker from the foot of the mountain in He Shan Town! Just look at those thick arms, his robe puffed up like a drum, it felt like they would burst open with just a bit of force - Qiuqiu wasn't exaggerating when she said that those arms were as thick as her waist. And then there was his face, red and radiant with a beard that reached down to his chest, his hair messy and unkempt with some suspicious grey dust stuck in it, who knows if it was a copper pin or something else just casually stuck in, from head to toe he...he didn't look like an elder at all.
"This is the quiet autumn? Always busy, didn't have time to see you." Old Huang patted himself a few times, couldn't find anything and said with some embarrassment: "Didn't prepare any gift for meeting you either."
The elder Qiu was so generous and open-minded that he didn't know what to say, but the elder Huang said with a big smile: "Your master used to come to my place often when she was still on the mountain, from time to time making some medicinal wine. Since she left, I haven't had any more, and before I knew it, she had already taken in an apprentice."
This topic is a bit off the track, but Autumn actually likes to hear people talk about her master. Now that they can't meet in person, she feels close when others mention him.
But just as he was about to begin, someone outside said, "Elder, you have a visitor."
Old Huang was taken aback: "Who would come at this hour?"
Qiu Qiu was also taken aback by her.
Something just happened on the mountain, so it's unlikely that outsiders would come at this time.
