Chapter 54 Yunlou Meeting, the invitation fails to win the spirit monkey
"Hmm."
Qing Gourd shook his head and then continued:
"But if you want to figure it out, you have to wait for another day or two, and wait until these three gourds are completely mature."
Fairy Lingyue had explained this to Xu Taiping before.
After waking up this time, her remnant soul will use this green gourd as a residence to slowly nourish her soul, and she will no longer need to rely on the earth fruit.
"Xiao Taiping, although I don't know the specific treasures in the other two gourds, the auras they emit are very powerful. There may be a surprise this time."
Fairy Lingyue then said with a hint of excitement.
"I also think there will be surprises."
Xu Taiping also nodded. He was also looking forward to the treasures that would be born after the second fruit of the Earth Fruit.
After conversing with Fairy Lingyue about some of the confusion surrounding his practice over the past few months, Xu Taiping returned to the house and played a few games of chess with the little monkey, and then returned to the bedroom to continue his evening practice.
Now he doesn't want to waste any time.
When Xu Taiping started practicing, the little monkey Ping An became very obedient and started playing alone in the yard. He imitated Xu Taiping's postures and punched, and climbed up and down the old banyan tree. He had a great time.
.
"Gulong..."
When it was almost dark, the little monkey's stomach started to feel upset.
The mountain ape eats a lot. Even if he eats a whole roasted lamb leg for lunch, he still feels hungry at this time.
However, even though it was so hungry that it was weak, it still did not disturb Xu Taiping. It just hung itself on the tree with its tail and swayed back and forth, while it kept reciting the Three Character Sutra taught to him by Xu Taiping:
"At the beginning of the monkey, the nature was good, the nature was similar, the habits were far apart, yellow mutton, big chicken legs, roasted bear paws..."
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Just when the little monkey couldn't help but want to grab a handful of leaves and stuff it into his mouth, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.
The little monkey twitched its tail, and its body
He swayed and landed on the branch. He used his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked outside the courtyard. Then he saw a middle-aged man in a blue shirt standing at the door.
"Excuse me, can little friend Xu Taiping be at home?"
A middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"Chiji..."
The little monkey jumped down from the tree, jumped up to the top of the courtyard gate, and then made dancing gestures towards the middle-aged man.
"Little monkey, is your master in the courtyard?"
The middle-aged man smiled at the little monkey.
Hearing this, the little monkey suddenly spoke up. He seemed to be able to speak human language, and immediately shook his head and said:
"No, go away. Xu Taiping is not interested. He is not interested in Yunlouhui."
It has just learned human language and can only speak some short sentences.
"That's it..."
The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, with an imperceptible cunning look flashing in his eyes, then he raised his head again and looked at the little monkey and said:
"Little monkey, I have two spiritual peaches here, do you want to eat them?"
As he spoke, he took out two fist-sized juicy peaches from his wide sleeves.
A unique aroma of spiritual fruits spread in the area the moment the two spiritual peaches were taken out.
"Chiji..."
Smelling the fragrance of the spiritual fruit, the little monkey couldn't control himself and started squatting there scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Little monkey, if you want to eat, just come out and get it yourself."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he picked up one of the spiritual peaches and ate it deliciously.
"Chi chi chi..."
Faced with the temptation of a middle-aged man,
The little monkey Ping Ping wanted to jump down several times, but when he thought of Xu Taiping's previous warning, he finally endured it. After pointing at the middle-aged man and shouting, he returned to the banyan tree in the courtyard.
.
"That's all, I'm too lazy to tease you. I'll give you the spiritual peach. You can get it yourself."
The middle-aged man smiled upon seeing this, then placed the spiritual peach on the ground, then turned and left without looking back.
"Chiji..."
When the little monkey saw the middle-aged man leaving, he immediately hung one hand on the branch and swung it to the edge of the roof tiles of the door like a swing.
"grumble?"
After looking around and confirming that the middle-aged man was really gone, the little monkey felt relieved, jumped to the ground, and then quickly picked up the spiritual fruit on the ground.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to be invisible and appeared beside the little monkey out of thin air.
"grumble……"
Before the little monkey had time to scream, the middle-aged man caught him and slapped him unconscious. .??.
"Little guy, if you don't eat the toast, I can only treat you with a fine drink."
The middle-aged man glanced at the plaque "Green Bamboo Residence" above the courtyard door, flicked his hand, and shot a dart out of his sleeve, hitting the plaque directly.
And above the dart, there was a letter inserted.
After doing all this, the middle-aged man disappeared into thin air again.
…
"Little friend Taiping, if you want to get your spiritual pet back, come to Taoyuan Ridge within three days and meet Jian Yuan at Yunlou."
When Xu Taiping saw this letter, it was already a stick of incense.
He had just reached a critical moment in his practice. He was so immersed in it that he failed to pay attention to the situation outside.
"I am only in the Open Door Realm, and I have nothing to do with the Yunlou Society. Why would they do this?"
Xu Taiping, who was walking to the medicine garden while reading the letter, was a little confused.
"What's wrong Taiping?"
At this time, Xu Taiping was already standing in the medicine garden, with the gourd vine next to him.
"A guild of casual cultivators named Yunlouhui kidnapped the little monkey and asked me to visit his mansion within three days."
Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue what happened today, as well as the invitations that Yunlouhui had extended to him during this period.
"They are probably interested in the medicinal materials in your medicine garden."
Fairy Lingyue is indeed an old Jianghu, and she immediately thought of this possibility.
"There is a possibility. All the medicinal materials planted in my medicine garden this year are precious medicinal materials."
Xu Taiping nodded.
"Taiping, don't worry. Since their purpose is the medicinal materials in your medicine garden, they will not harm Taiping before meeting you. Tonight, these three gourds will be fully mature. You first take the treasure and increase it by one."
As a guarantee, I will accompany you to Taoyuan Ridge when the time comes."
Fairy Lingyue suggested at this time.
"Well, that's all."
Xu Taiping nodded.
This was also the reason why he didn't rush out and came to this medicine garden just now.
…
Late this night.
When the moon reached its zenith, with a "snap" sound, the green gourd where Fairy Lingyue lived fell first from the gourd vine.
Then Xu Taiping saw the fluorescent green gourd floating straight towards him.
"Xiao Taiping, you have to help me take care of my residence from now on."
Fairy Lingyue's playful voice sounded from the gourd, and as the mouth of the gourd opened, a somewhat transparent figure floated out from the gourd.
