The rest of the people stayed where they were, waiting for Yu Ling'er to come back. They waited for half an hour before Yu Ling'er arrived. Yu Ling'er lived up to expectations and got a token from the leader. This
The token is about the size of a palm, carved from white jade, with many complex patterns on it, as well as the three Chinese characters of "Leader's Order" with flying dragons and phoenixes.
At this moment, the Zhang brothers had returned to the woods and disappeared somewhere. Zhao Zheng and others remained where they were.
After Yu Ling'er came back, she briefly explained to Zhao Zheng and others the process of asking for the token, and then shouted to the forest: "Two guardians, I have asked for the leader's token, and I want to ask two more
The protector took a look at it."
As soon as he finished speaking, two weak strong winds stirred up in the forest, and then two figures jumped out from them and landed in front of everyone in an instant. They were the Zhang brothers from before.
Yu Ling'er stretched out her palm and showed the token she was holding tightly to the Zhang brothers. From the token, an extremely thin humanoid shadow floated out.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a humanoid aura from Jin Tai.
The white jade token may be fake, but this aura cannot be fake.
"Zhang Bing, Zhang Xue, that Pixiu cub is Zhao Zheng's pet, and it is also of great use to our sect. Let the two children, Yu Ling'er and Zhao Zheng, enter Yuxiang Garden and take away the Pixiu cub inside."
Jintai commanded in a leisurely manner.
Seeing Jin Tai's aura was just like seeing him in person, the Zhang brothers immediately changed their expressions, bowed respectfully, and responded: "As ordered, Master, we will let these two pass now."
Zhang Bing stayed where he was, and Zhang Xue led Yu Ling'er and Zhao Zheng to Yuxiang Garden. They walked through the woods and stepped over many strange rocks to the edge of Yuxiang Garden. All of them were tall.
Stones, the smallest of which are more than a foot high, completely surround this forbidden area, leaving only one entrance for entry. There is no door built at this entrance, so you can drive straight in.
In his last life, Zhao Zheng had been to this place many times, but this was the first time he came here. He slowed down and looked through the high gate into the Yuxiang Garden. He saw hundreds of flowers blooming inside.
, lined with green leaves, a beautiful natural scene, and a delicate fragrance wafts out from it, which makes people feel comfortable. Among the flowers and green leaves, there is a circular flower bed, about three feet in diameter.
On the flower bed, there stood a huge crane, with a wingspan of one foot, and an astonishing size. The appearance of this crane was the same as that of a red-crowned crane, but it was several times larger, and the crown on its head was not red.
The "red top" is a piece of beautiful green jade. This piece of beautiful jade is born from flesh and blood. It is transparent, natural and flawless. It is precisely because of this unique feature that this kind of crane got its name.
Jade-Crowned Crane.
Around the two big feet of the Jade-crowned Crane, there is a small, round figure with black and white hair. The distribution of white and black hair is very unique. The eyes are partly black, but the head is white.
He looks a little funny and very lovable. This little guy is the one who caused a lot of trouble.
In addition to Abao, there is also a strange plant growing at the feet of the Jade-crowned Crane. The roots and leaves of this plant are black, and they are as rich and ink-black as the color. Only the fruit growing on it is
White. There are three fruits in total, each with different sizes. The largest is no more than the size of a hawthorn, and the smallest is only the size of a fingernail. The fruit is round, with a smooth surface like jade, without anything extra, and looks like
Several pearls of extremely high quality.
This white fruit is the so-called Salivating White Jade Fruit. Taking this fruit can greatly increase a warrior's internal strength, and his cultivation realm will skyrocket overnight, saving him ten years or more of hard work. Salivating White Jade Fruit
The growth cycle is extremely slow, and the growth process is very special. The Jade-crowned Crane needs to pour the chewed juice on it to provide nutrients. Without the watering of the Jade-crowned Crane, this kind of fruit cannot grow. Therefore, the Jade-crowned Crane is not the same as the Saliva.
The fragrant white jade fruit grows together. Only in places where there are jade-crowned cranes can the best spiritual fruit like the fragrant white jade fruit grow.
One of the most important purposes of Zhao Zheng when he came to Taishan Sect was to obtain the Fragrant White Jade Fruit, so as to quickly improve his cultivation level. As soon as he saw the true form of the Fragrant White Jade Fruit, his eyes revealed a fiery color that could not be concealed.
He wished he could take it as his own right away. After looking at it for a few times, he moved his gaze away and instead focused on his troublesome little pet.
At this moment, Abao was playing coquettishly with the Jade-crowned Crane, circling around under the big feet that could crush it to death, and sometimes climbing up its thighs. The Jade-crowned Crane flapped its wings, frequently
Changing positions, he would occasionally raise his claws to catch Po, but he would not use too much force and skillfully grasped the balance. This beast was having a great time, and it seemed that he had not had enough. I really don’t know.
What method did Bao use to win the favor of the Jade-crowned Crane? If someone else or another strange beast had set foot here, he would have been attacked by the Jade-crowned Crane. Perhaps the Jade-crowned Crane thought that Bao was too young, so he didn't take him seriously.
Things happened and gave birth to a heart of pity for children.
"They are having so much fun, let's just let them play for a while. If we take Ah Bao away this time, the two of them may never see each other again." Yu Ling'er said with rare consideration.
"Well... okay. It's rare to see the Jade-crowned Crane so happy, so let the two of them play with half a stick of incense." Zhang Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. The two brothers protected the saliva.
Bai Yuguo has spent many years getting along with the Jade-crowned Crane day and night, and has developed feelings for the spiritual bird. He also hopes that the Jade-crowned Crane can have more fun. Besides, the time for half a stick of incense is not long, it only takes a short time.
The three of them stood at the entrance of Yuxiang Garden. They did not rush over to disturb the animals' play. They smiled and watched the animals having fun in the flower bed.
I saw A Bao swinging his four short legs and running around the Jade-crowned Crane, circling the Jade-crowned Crane in circles. As he ran, he suddenly ran to the side of the fragrant White Jade Fruit, raised his little head and looked towards
I picked up a fruit that was slightly taller than it and sniffed the strange aroma emanating from the fruit. It was probably thirsty from running away, or maybe it was a greedy insect attracted by the aroma, and opened its mouth to the smallest fruit among them.
He opened his mouth and took a bite.
The jade-crowned crane had just turned its huge body and saw this scene at a glance. Its smart eyes full of humanity suddenly showed a look of fear, and its pupils suddenly shrank. It raised its right foot and faced the ignorant Ah
Bao grabbed it fiercely.
The three people standing at the door all saw this scene, and they were all dumbfounded. Zhang Xue was even more frightened and turned pale, and quickly rushed forward. The only fault is that the Jade-crowned Crane's body was too big, and it blocked it just now.
The sight of everyone prevented them from seeing A Bao's movements clearly. Otherwise, as soon as they saw A Bao approaching the Salivary White Jade Fruit, they would immediately stop him. After all, the Salivary White Jade Fruit is one of the best in the Taishan Sect.
Even the leader is reluctant to eat the precious spiritual fruit.
This series of strange coincidences contributed to the scene in front of me. A Bao swallowed the spiritual fruit in one gulp. The jade-crowned crane grabbed A Bao and tried to stop him, but it was too late. Just before A Bao
The moment it was caught in the air, it had swallowed the spiritual fruit wholeheartedly.
The jade-crowned crane bent its long neck, grabbed Po in front of his eyes, glared at the latter fiercely, and shook his paws twice. Not only did this action fail to make Po spit out the spiritual fruit, but it actually
It was completely swallowed into the stomach, and he also burped a little and made a sound of "uh". When the jade-crowned crane saw this, he suddenly became furious and clenched his right paw suddenly. It had the ninth level of heavenly martial arts.
The power is enough to crush Po into pieces with one claw.
Abao didn't notice the danger at all, but regarded it as a game. He stretched out a pair of furry paws and touched the iron hoop-like claws of the Jade-Crowned Crane. It looked harmless to humans and animals, and was extremely well-behaved.
When the crane saw the coquettish A Bao, he was like a deflated rubber ball. His anger gradually subsided, his clenched paws gradually loosened a little, and his fierce eyes gradually softened.
It can be seen that the Jade-crowned Crane has given up his murderous intention and does not want to do anything to A Bao anymore.
The jade-crowned crane let A Bao go, but that doesn’t mean that Zhang Xue, one of the Ice and Snow Heroes, would let A Bao go. His responsibility is to guard the fragrant white jade fruit, and he will never allow this kind of spiritual fruit to be lost. Now A Bao will eat the spiritual fruit.
Yes, he has a responsibility that he cannot shirk, and he almost regrets it.
"You evil beast! Spit out the fragrant white jade fruit!" Zhang Xueduan shouted, raised a single palm, and struck Ah Bao's head in the air, intending to kill Ah Bao and then rescue the spirit fruit that had just been eaten.
Come out. If the remaining spiritual fruit can be rescued, it will at least alleviate some of his sins. He and his brother have been guarding this spiritual fruit here for more than ten years, and have been diligently protecting this spiritual fruit, for fear of something going wrong.
But I didn't expect that Abao would eat one in one bite today. How could he not be angry?
Zhao Zheng was also dumbfounded. He had no idea that Ah Bao would break into such a big trap. He was afraid that Ah Bao would make a mistake, so he didn't care much. He quickly chased after him and stopped him, saying: "Be merciful! If there is any mistake, I will be punished by you."
I'll bear it all by myself!"
It's a pity that Zhang Xue didn't take Zhao Zheng's words seriously at all, and Zhao Zheng's speed was more than a bit slower, unable to catch up with the furious former.
Seeing that Zhang Xue's palm was about to hit Ah Bao's head, at this critical moment, the jade-crowned crane suddenly made a chirping sound, stepped on the ground with one foot, flapped its wings suddenly, and fanned out with two vigor.
The wind blew Zhang Xue to a standstill in mid-air, and then he jumped up into the sky. It was obvious that the jade-crowned crane was trying to protect Ah Bao and did not want Ah Bao to be harmed.
"What are you doing? It ate the fragrant white jade fruit and committed a serious crime. Why don't you hand it over to me for disposal!" Zhang Xue fell to the ground, raised his head and shouted at the jade-crowned crane in the air.
The Jade-crowned Crane has extremely high intelligence, and its intelligence is similar to that of a teenage child. Although it cannot speak, it can understand most people's words and figure out Zhang Xue's meaning. It soars in mid-air.
In a roundabout way, it made a few chirps of different pitches to communicate with Zhang Xue and express its simple meaning. It made its position clear, not wanting Zhang Xue to hurt Ah Bao, and even begged for Ah Bao.
Affection.
Zhao Zheng and Yu Ling'er also rushed over at this time, and both spoke to dissuade Zhang Xue, fearing that Zhang Xue would lose his mind and kill A Bao.
"Shut up, both of you, and don't come even half a step closer to the flower bed, otherwise don't blame me for turning your back on me! It's all because of you two that the evil beast ate the spiritual fruit. Wait until the boss takes the blame.
After that, let’s see how you two end up!” Zhang Xue turned around and shouted angrily. The voice he roared actually formed an aggressive wave of air, blowing the flowers and plants on the ground flying in all directions, and Zhao Zheng and the two also
He was blown back a few steps.
The flower bed planted with the fragrant White Jade Fruit is the top priority of the Taishan Sect. If the two of them approach rashly, it will easily cause Zhang Xue to misunderstand. If Zhang Xue is irritated, it may even lead to death.
Zhao Zheng and the other two were careful to protect themselves and did not dare to approach rashly anymore, so they had to stand there obediently.
"Spirit Crane! Hand over that evil beast quickly. If you disembowel it now, it may still be too late. If you can take out the spirit fruit, you can at least give it to other disciples to eat to avoid waste." Zhang Xue raised his head and pointed at Yu.
Crane shouted.
"Ming! Ming! Ming!" The Jade-crowned Crane called several times in response, but did not put down Ah Bao. Apparently, he had not changed his mind and still refused to hand over Ah Bao to Zhang Xue.
Po was grabbed by the big claws and brought high into the sky. He seemed very uncomfortable. He waved his four short legs desperately in mid-air and bleated twice. He had no idea how far he had gone.
A terrible disaster.
Zhang Xue refused to give up and was still determined to kill Ah Bao and take out the spiritual fruit. But the Jade-crowned Crane refused and grabbed Ah Bao and kept flying in the air. The two sides could not argue and faced off for a long time.
At this juncture of stalemate, a wisp of green smoke emerged from the token in Yu Ling'er's hand. The green smoke rolled and transformed, forming the phantom of Head Jintai.
"Zhang Xue, don't force Linghe anymore. Now that the matter has come to this, let the cub go. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. He is just a cub. He doesn't understand anything at all. All emotions are there.
But it can come this far
, and accidentally ate the spirit fruit under the watchful eyes of so many people, it seems to be fate. As the fragrant white jade fruit melts when exposed to water, it is estimated that there is nothing left now. Even if you kill it, you still have to kill it.
No fruit. In this case, why not
As a favor, Tathagata got this Pixiu cub for free. After eating this spiritual fruit, it should be able to grow a lot, saving ten years or more of growth time, and let it become stronger quickly.
It is Zhao Zheng’s pet,
And Zhao Zheng is the elder of our sect and has made many contributions to our sect. Letting this cub grow up as soon as possible will also be beneficial to our sect. It is better to be open-minded about everything and don't force it." Jin Tai
Said leisurely with a strong momentum.
At a certain distance, the aura can communicate with the main body's mind. Through this aura, the head of Jintai has understood the whole process of the matter. What this aura says is actually his own meaning.
Zhang Xue's expression changed when he heard this, and he wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, losing his aggressive momentum. He didn't have to listen to what others said, but he had to listen to the words of the leader. He gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
He made a noise and said unwillingly:
"We brothers have been guarding here for more than ten years in order to protect this spiritual fruit from loss for our master. So many outstanding people in the sect have not been able to eat this spiritual fruit, but now it is cheaper.
We brothers are really unwilling to accept this evil."
"Zhang Xue, your brothers' contribution to our sect is indispensable. I see it all, and I am really grateful in my heart. But no matter how distressed I feel, everything is irreversible. Even if I kill this little Pixiu cub, what can I do?
What do you think? As of now, let's just look at it a little bit. It's possible that it only ate the smallest spiritual fruit, and there are two spiritual fruits that are close to maturity safe and sound. The loss is still within the tolerance range." Jin Tai consoled him with an imposing manner.
.
"Oh, time is also destiny. I really didn't expect that the spiritual fruit would be eaten by an evil beast under my nose." Zhang Xue looked up to the sky and sighed, maybe he was scratching his head.
Under the abbot's guidance, Master Jintai finally saved A Bao from his sin and saved his little life.
Zhao Zheng experienced a false alarm and breathed a sigh of relief, but then his mood changed drastically and became very complicated. Of course he was happy that A Bao was safe and sound. Moreover, A Bao also ate a spiritual fruit, and under the power of this spiritual fruit
, it will definitely be improved quickly and have strong power early. This is also a happy event, and it is a huge happy event. But while he is happy, he also has some jealousy. He has tried his best and failed to get it.
Of the spiritual fruits, Po actually ate one easily, what a twist of fate. This is in line with the old saying, if you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you do not intend to plant willows, they will create shade!
As the person involved, Abao was completely ignorant of this and had no idea what was going on. From its perspective, he was just greedy and ate a delicious fruit.
Seeing that Zhang Xue stopped shouting about killing Ah Bao, the jade-crowned crane landed on the ground again, but it did not land near the flower bed, but landed farther away and put Ah Bao down. Now
I'm afraid no one will dare to put A Bao near the Salivating White Jade Fruit anymore. God knows if it will also eat the other two spiritual fruits.
"Thank you, Master, for not killing me. Abao is my pet. It ate such a precious spiritual fruit. The responsibility lies entirely on me. I am willing to bear all responsibilities, whether it is punishment or meritorious service." Zhao Zheng said to Jin Tai.
He gave a deep bow and said, "A Bao has eaten the spirit fruit, so naturally he, the master, has to take the blame."
"Pixiu cub is ignorant, so I can't blame you. Besides, you have made many great contributions to our sect. Paying the merits to the sins can offset this sin. You don't have to feel guilty, as long as you continue to do so in the future
Just work for the Taishan sect." Jin Tai comforted him with a kind aura.
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness." Zhao Zheng said gratefully. (To be continued)
