After the young monk saw Cao'er, he glanced at the old monk quietly and lowered his head as if he hadn't seen anything.
"Where's the monkey?" Yu Sheng asked. Both of them had come down the mountain. There was no way the monkey could guard the temple gate alone.
The little monk pointed to the woods to the north of the stone bridge and said, "I am playing outside with my little grandson."
This reminded Yu Sheng of Aunt Ma. She came to Yu Sheng a few days ago and said that she wanted to find the bones of her grandson's father.
After hearing what Yu Sheng said, the old monk shook his head and said, "You can't go to the mountains and forests. Now is a dangerous time. That's why I came here today."
As he walked into the inn, Zhou Dafu and the five of them were sitting on the long table chatting. His aunt had just come out of the kitchen with a pot of wine.
"What happened in the forest?" He still missed his bamboo house for the rest of his life.
The house is located between mountains and rivers, it is spotless, and there are ponds and fish. This is a great happiness for the rest of the life that was unavailable in the previous life.
Although the golden carp in the pond cannot be eaten.
"Under the calmness of the mountain forest, the beasts are panicking and the demons are trembling." Although the old monk replied to Yu Sheng's words, it seemed more like he was talking to Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing stopped holding the cup and looked at the old monk in surprise, "What happened?"
"Remember the Taotie that appeared in the west of Dongshan Mountain a few days ago?" the old monk said. "There are rumors that it entered the mountains and came eastward."
The air was quiet for a moment, and Chu Ci and the other five people also raised their heads and looked at the old monk in panic.
Aunt Qing put down the wine glass in her hand, "How did you know this news?"
The young monk said: "The scorpion said that when we went back the day before yesterday, we met a lonely bird that had lost its flock and crashed into a cliff and died."
Monkeys have the ability to know where they are. After seeing this lonely bird, they suddenly panicked.
The little monk asked why it was so panicked, and the monkey said incoherently that the bird had traveled a long way to escape, and now it died alone because it was lost from the flock.
When the young monk asked why the birds were fleeing, the mongoose said that the birds saw monsters fleeing and learned that the Taotie was coming east, so they fled in the wind.
He just ran away too fast and lost contact with his companions and family.
In the inn where a needle can sound, the little monk's words are so frightening that Yu Sheng even hears his own heartbeat.
I don't know why the ghost fairy didn't deal with this bad luck, but a ferocious beast, Taotie, is coming to my door again.
Taotie and Qiongqi are both the four ferocious beasts, and they are existences that even ordinary sword fairies cannot defeat.
The long-haired ghost was trapped in Julong City for ten years, not because the city lord didn't do anything, but because he was really powerless.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and the air became solemn for a while. Only the young monk did not realize it.
He saw a piece of grass and a gourd coming in from the door, walking in the air out of thin air, and stood up in shock, "What is that?"
Zhou Dafu exclaimed, "Where, what, is it coming?"
It didn't matter that he stood up. Chu Sheng, who was sitting on the other end of the same stool, sat down on the ground and was hit by the stool.
"What's your name? It's still in the deep mountains and old forests." Zhou Jiuzhang said, leaning over to help Chu Sheng who fell to the ground.
Chu Sheng covered his butt, "Why is it always me who is unlucky when I'm with you?"
"It's not my fault." Zhou Dafu pointed at the young monk, "He was the one who was surprised first."
The little monk was aggrieved. Anyone who suddenly saw a piece of grass and a gourd floating around would be startled.
"Okay." Aunt Qing raised her wine glass again, "There is no movement here in the bamboo forest. This ferocious beast is at least thousands of miles away."
She drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Maybe it changed its route on the way?"
The old monk also said: "The birds just heard the wind and fled. Now is indeed not the time to panic, but it is better to be prepared in advance."
Chu Sheng carefully sat on the stool next to him, "This is one of the four ferocious beasts, and the city lord is not..."
Chu Ci kicked him, and Chu Sheng woke up and stopped in time, not forgetting to glance at Aunt Qing.
"Your Majesty, the King of the Eastern Wasteland, please don't be pessimistic. Taotie probably won't dare to come to the east of Dongshan." Chu Ci said.
Facing the puzzled looks of Yu Sheng and Chu Sheng, Bu Ju explained to Chu Ci, "Yangzhou is near the East China Sea, and that is the territory of the King of the Eastern Wilderness."
"Although she is the king of the Eastern Barren, she is no longer the king of the cities in the fourteen states of the Eastern Barren. She will still care about this ferocious beast." Zhou Dafu said.
Bu Ju smiled and said, "Don't forget that the King of the Eastern Wilderness once roasted gluttonous rice over a fire and complained that its meat was too sour."
"Taotie must know this story. I don't think it dares to go near Yangzhou City and the East China Sea." Bu Ju said.
Chu Sheng was astonished when he heard this. Taotie feeds on all living beings. The king of the Eastern Wilderness actually roasts Taotie over fire. He is really a super foodie.
Seeing Yu Sheng clicking his tongue next to him and even showing a look of disgust, Aunt Qing lifted her leg and gave him a kick.
"What?" Yu Sheng covered his butt in confusion.
"I was frightened by Taotie," Aunt Qing said.
This excuse is not good at all. Yu Shengxin said that Taotie is here, and you can run away as soon as you step on the sword spirit. You are not from Fujian, and Taotie is still chasing you and biting you?
I have to run away for the rest of my life. After all, a man born for the God of Cooking will inevitably be captured by Taotie and brought back to work as a cook for the village.
"Humph." The system was very disdainful of Yu Sheng's boastful words.
I ignored it for the rest of my life, thinking about the possibility of riding a sword with my aunt to the end of the world.
I heard that my aunt has a friend in Fairy Mountain. Maybe it would be good to escape there, but I don’t know if that friend is a boy or a girl.
If you are a man, it is better not to run away, and the town and the inn cannot be moved, and it is difficult to leave your homeland. The wilderness is so vast, and this is the only home.
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng became worried again, "The King of the Eastern Wasteland said that the meat is sour, and he definitely doesn't like to eat it. Is there any reason why Taotie wouldn't dare to eat it?"
Zhou Dafu thought so.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Aunt Qing said, "No one is allowed to spread this news today."
She looked at Chu Ci and the other five, her eyes under her eyebrows showing a warning.
"Don't pass it on, don't pass it on, absolutely won't pass it on." The five people nodded in agreement.
Yu Sheng glanced at his aunt, saying that she was not a family and would not enter the same house. He also used this trick to deal with Po Meng.
"Do you think there are magic weapons in the bamboo house that can stop the ferocious beast?" Yu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"What magic weapon? You've already collected it." Aunt Qing walked towards the wooden ladder, "Come up, I have something to tell you."
Yu Sheng followed, "I have to be more careful from now on and don't attract Taotie just because the food is delicious."
"Don't worry, Taotie likes to swallow you more than food." Aunt Qing said.
Hearing this, Yu Sheng said, "Then I can't take a shower now. I'll try to stink myself up."
"Go, don't let Taotie smoke your aunt to death first." Aunt Qing said with disgust.
After going up to the attic, Aunt Qing said, "As for you, one thing you have been focusing on recently is to quickly find the bronze mirror."
"Bronze mirror?" Yu Sheng looked at the luminous pearls on display, "Why did you charge me to find them?"
"Actually, it's the same. Why don't you leave the money you collect here with me?" Aunt Qing said.
I was speechless for the rest of my life. I could only say: "So many people can't find the bronze mirror. Where can I look for it? Maybe it's not in the lake."
"It's more likely to be a lie. What fool would use such a precious thing and then throw it back." Yu Sheng said.
"Impossible, your mother..." Aunt Qing felt something was wrong when she said it. She just couldn't stop the car and could only turn. "She's just lazy."
Yu Sheng looked at Aunt Qing in surprise, "You actually scolded me, not only me, but also my mother."
"No, that's not what I meant," Aunt Qing took Yu Sheng's hand and hurriedly explained. Yu Sheng turned her right hand over and quietly held the jade hand in her palm.
"It was my slip of the tongue just now." Aunt Qing explained, but she didn't know it.
The surprise and grievance just now were just Yu Sheng's show. Now he didn't listen to Aunt Qing's explanation and only felt the warmth in her hands.
