Xu Ran couldn't figure out whether it was because of his arrival that the plot changed.
In the original work, it was clearly after Sedum's arrival that he came to the ancient vine forest to look for the spirit bead, and he came here before Sedum, but he learned from the gorilla that the spirit bead had been snatched away.
"Is it a man or a woman who stole the spirit pearl?" Xu Ran asked.
Xu Ran now suspects that it was Wan Yuzhi who stole the spirit bead. Wan Yuzhi is a fox who fell in love with humans and lives in Anning Village in human form. Wan Yuzhi's husband Gao Yong was poisoned by water.
Only the Earth Spirit Pearl can solve it.
So Xu Ran suspected that Wan Yuzhi had taken away the Earth Spirit Pearl, but there was another person who was also the target of Xu Ran's suspicion.
That is Luo Rulie, the master of Perak Hall.
Just when Jingtian was about to get the Earth Spirit Pearl, Luo Rulie rushed out and snatched it away. Fortunately, this gorilla was a disciple of the Bashu thief Li Hankong, and he had learned the sacred art of thieving, the Flying Dragon Cloud Detector.
Although the Earth Spirit Pearl was stolen from Luo Rulie's hand, the gorilla was beaten to death by Luo Rulie.
"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me." Gorilla Jingjing seemed to be full of hostility towards humans now, and said angrily, then turned around and jumped, grabbed a vine with both hands, climbed up quickly, and soon
Disappeared from Xu Ran's sight.
Xu Ran touched his chin and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason. He flashed towards the cave of the old monster Gu Teng, and finally saw a huge tree stump.
This tree stump is so huge that it needs at least two or three people to surround it. It is connected to countless vines and covers the entire mountain wall.
It's just that the tree stump is now withered.
"This is the old monster Guvine." Xu Ran looked at the huge tree stump with some surprise.
He recalled in his mind that it was the old monster Guteng, but it had no breath of life. In other words, the gorilla Jingjing did not lie to him. The old monster Guteng was dead, and the Earth Spirit Pearl was also robbed.
"Forget it, go ask Old Man Gu Teng," Xu Ran said to himself, and then appeared at the place where Old Man Gu Teng lived.
"Is Old Gu Teng here? This junior has a request, can you come out?" Xu Ran looked around and spoke loudly.
Old Man Guteng and Old Monster Guteng, although they live in similar places, are two people. Old Monster Guteng is a demon, and Old Man Guteng is a fairy.
However, Xu Ran disagreed. Although Old Man Gu Teng claimed to be an immortal, it was just his own imagination.
call!
There was a gust of wind blowing around for no reason, and countless leaves were emitting light and drifting in the wind, and then gradually gathered into an old man.
Old Man Guteng was about 1.5 meters tall, very short, with an old face. He was covered with a layer of bark and had a cane. He looked at Xu Ran and said in an old voice: "Young man, what do you want me to do?"
.
"Do you know who took away the Earth Spirit Pearl?" Xu Ran raised his head and asked.
While speaking, he had a slight sense of the realm of Old Man Gu Teng, and smiled with relief in his heart. As expected, Old Man Gu Teng was not as strong as he thought.
The other party's strength is estimated to be similar to that of the Fifth Elder of Shushan.
"Young man, why should I tell you?" Old Man Gu Teng asked, holding his cane and looking at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and said: "Although you and Old Monster Gu Teng are immortals and demons, and are neighbors to each other, even if they are enemies, and have been neighbors for hundreds of years, don't you have any feelings at all?"
"Old monster Gu Teng is dead, don't you want to help him take revenge?"
"Hahaha"
Old Gu Teng touched his beard and said with a smile: "Young man, you are so loud. Do you know who killed old weird Gu Teng? Let's forget about revenge."
After the old man Gu Teng finished speaking, he shook his head regretfully.
"Do you know who killed the old monster Gu Teng?" Xu Ran narrowed his eyes.
"Haha" Old Man Gu Teng just smiled and did not answer.
"Young man, please leave. No matter what your purpose is for wanting the Earth Spirit Bead, give up. Don't lose your life for the Earth Spirit Bead." Old Man Gu Teng looked at Xu Ran and said.
"What if I have to let you tell me about the Tu Lingzhu?" Xu Ran looked at the old man Gu Teng and said, with an unquestionable meaning in his tone.
This is not because Xu Ran is arrogant, because in the plane of "Sword of Immortal III", his strength is definitely at the top level, and there are very few people who can defeat him, probably only the mysterious Emperor of Heaven in the God Realm.
Even the current Mo Zunzunlou can only overwhelm Xu Ran, but cannot defeat Xu Ran.
Before the Evil Sword Immortal was born, Demon Zunzunlou was absolutely invincible.
So Xu Ran was confident that no matter who stole the Earth Spirit Pearl, he would be able to get it back.
"Young man, do you insist on having your own way? In that case, let's make a bet. If you win, I will tell you who killed the old monster Gu Teng. If you lose, just leave," said the old man Gu Teng.
"Okay, what kind of bet do you want to make?" Xu Ran asked.
In fact, he already knew in his heart that Old Man Gu Teng was just guessing what he was thinking.
Because old man Gu Teng has a magical power, which is mind reading, and he can read people's inner thoughts.
"I can guess what you are thinking at this moment with just a few fingers. Give me two breaths. If I can't guess what you are thinking, you win. If I guess it, you lose." Sure enough,
, Old Man Gu Teng looked at Xu Ran and said.
"Then you guess" Xu Ran smiled.
"Okay." Old Man Guteng nodded slightly, then raised a dry palm covered with bark and began to count.
At first, the old man Gu Teng still had a confident expression, but soon he was stunned, and then he thought high and deep, his brows furrowed, until finally, the old man Gu Teng shook his head regretfully.
"Young man, you won, but I can't see through your heart." Old Man Gu Teng looked at Xu Ran and said.
"It's strange that you can see through it," Xu Ran said in his heart.
In fact, Old Man Gu Teng's mind-reading ability is nothing more than mental power invading the mind, thereby guessing what he is thinking in his heart, but his strength is so much higher than that of Old Man Gu Teng.
Moreover, Xu Ran's mental power is also very strong. It is impossible for Old Man Gu Teng to read his mind.
"Since you admit defeat, tell me who stole the Earth Spirit Pearl," Xu Ran said.
"The person who stole the Earth Spirit Pearl is Luo Rulie, the master of Perak Hall," said the old man Gu Teng.
"This little guy stole the Earth Spirit Bead." Xu Ran was a little surprised and said, "With your strength, you should be able to easily defeat Luo Rulie. You were nearby and just watched Luo Rulie steal the Earth Spirit Bead and kill him."
The old monster Guteng is dead.”
"No, no," the old man Gu Teng slowly shook his head and said: "This is the Gu Teng Forest, my place of retreat. If an ordinary person comes to disturb my purity, I will naturally keep him here to keep me company for hundreds of years."
.
"But Luo Rulie himself has transformed from a human into a demon, and behind him, there is a demon king." Old man Gu Teng paused here, his eyes full of fear: "I felt the aura of the demon king, so I could only let it go.
