Will you encounter danger when traveling alone for the first time?
Beside the window sill of the mountain hut, Ran Sujuan's white jade-like right hand held her cheek, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought.
She always felt uneasy about her pure-minded apprentice, even though Liu Tiedan was no longer the stupid ten-year-old child, and had grown into a genius boy whose strength was almost catching up with hers.
"boom!"
A loud noise came from the bottom of the mountain, followed by a hot breath.
It's him?
Ran Sujuan looked sideways slightly, a complex color flashed across her pretty face, but the light in her eyes softened unconsciously.
She knew that it was Ghost Mandrill who had started practicing every day again.
Since Ran Sujuan lived here in seclusion three years ago, Gui Mandrill built a thatched house at the foot of the mountain and lived there talking to himself.
Ran Sujuan, who had a grudge, ignored him, and Gui Mandrill did not take the initiative to talk to her. The two of them lived in the middle of the mountain and the other at the foot of the mountain, and naturally became neighbors.
As a result, this man and woman did not communicate even once in three years.
On the contrary, if Liu Tiedan had something to do, he would go to find Ghost Mandrill to compete with him regardless of his ability.
When facing the guards of Prince Lu's Mansion, his fierce fighting style was honed from countless sparring sessions with Ghost Mandrill.
If Zhong Wen saw the way this man and woman get along now, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood and directly grab Guidao's ears and ask loudly: Where is the method I taught you to pick up girls? Let the dog eat it?
Three years ago, in order to get Gui Mandrill and Ran Sujuan to get over their bad feelings and get back together, he had come up with a lot of ideas, including some that were not suitable for children and would make even adults blush with heartbeat after hearing them.
Little did they know that Ghost Mandrill was an arrogant master. He came back from the lecture and was about to implement the tricks, but because these tricks were too gross, he couldn't lose face no matter what. He put it off for a long time and even put it aside, which eventually led to the current situation.
Embarrassing situation.
If there is any intersection between the two people now, it is that after every day, Gui Mandrill would quietly run to the mountainside and throw a bundle of firewood outside Ran Sujuan's wooden house.
Although Liu Tiedan himself practices fire-based skills, he can only create flames. It is too hard to rely on spiritual power to maintain combustion. For the master and apprentice, cooking, boiling water and keeping warm in winter
They all need flames, and firewood is really a necessity.
At first, Ran Sujuan was unwilling to use the things given by Gui Mandrill, but the other party did not discuss it with her, and just left a bundle of firewood at the door every day.
Day after day, more and more firewood was piled outside. Ran Sujuan had no choice but to find a way to use it.
The result is delicious!
From then on, Ghost Mandrill's status was promoted from neighbor to "woodcutter".
He has a soft mouth when eating people, but short hands when taking people. After using him so much firewood, Ran Sujuan naturally can't stand him coldly anymore and deliberately avoids him. Even if he accidentally bumps into him, the expression on his face has become much softer.
But from beginning to end, there was still no verbal communication between the two, as if there was an invisible wall between them, which was difficult to overcome.
The loud noise at the foot of the mountain gradually became fainter, and finally became silent, leaving only the rustling of leaves and the flapping wings of birds in the air.
Ran Sujuan turned her eyes and looked down at the road on the mountain intentionally or unintentionally.
She knew that it wouldn't be long before Ghost Mandrill would appear in front of her door carrying a bundle of firewood.
This is his daily habit and is unbreakable.
Sure enough, a small black dot appeared at the end of the line of sight, getting closer and closer, gradually revealing a slender black figure.
The moment she saw this figure, Ran Sujuan's cheeks were unconsciously stained with a faint blush, and her heart beat uncontrollably.
Perhaps deep down in her heart, her resentment towards this man has been almost eliminated. Moreover, in the past three years, even Ning Jie, the direct disciple of the Wen Dao Sage, has tried to persuade her many times, saying that she would not care about Gui Mandrill's behavior towards the Sage.
Out of spite.
Faced with a man who clearly has the cultivation of a saint, but can insist on guarding the foot of the mountain and bringing firewood up every day for three years, how can he be hated by others?
The figure of the mandrill had appeared less than ten feet away from the wooden house. Under her heavenly wheel-level eyesight, the streaks of firewood behind the man appeared so clearly.
Do you want to invite him in for a cup of tea?
Such an idea came to Ran Sujuan's mind inexplicably.
Perhaps because of Liu Tiedan's absence, this was the first time in three years that she took the initiative to change the status quo and ease the relationship with the other party.
Little did he know that although Tiedan was young, his mind had grown significantly in the past three years, and he had already seen through Ran Sujuan's true intentions.
Don't look at it, he always overestimates his ability and goes to fight with the ghost mandrills shouting and killing, but in fact he has got rid of the unrealistic illusion of his master.
This time he took the initiative to run errands on a long trip.
In Tiedan's view, if he continues to be a light bulb, in another ten years, this awkward couple will not be able to say a word. If they want to reveal their true feelings, they don't know that they will have to wait until the year of the monkey.
Just when Ran Sujuan was thinking a lot, Gui Mandrill had already arrived in front of the wooden house. As usual, he took off the firewood on his back, glanced at the window intentionally or unintentionally, then slowly turned around and returned in the direction he came from.
.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ran Sujuan felt anxious, her lips parted slightly, and she almost blurted out the words to save her.
However, I don’t know why, but the words came to my lips, but I couldn’t say them out loud.
Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.
It’s not much different than a day or two.
Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she sighed softly. With her delicate mentality, she finally chose to retreat.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The figure of the mandrill gradually faded away. Just when she thought it would be another ordinary day, a white shadow suddenly flashed across the mountain forest.
Ran Sujuan instinctively looked up and saw a white figure hanging quietly above the ghost mandrill.
This person looked to be about thirty years old, with fairly regular facial features, but the big aquiline nose on his face looked very out of place.
Looking at this stranger, Ran Sujuan couldn't help showing surprise on her face.
It should be noted that the mandrill who has lived at the foot of the mountain for the past three years is not just a "woodcutter".
It is precisely because of his existence that no outsider has ever been able to enter the mountain for more than a thousand days, and Master Ran Sujuan and his disciples were able to live a peaceful and tranquil life in seclusion.
Now, someone actually broke into this place brazenly, and stood majestically on top of the ghost mandrill. Even though this person had the ability to fly in the air, Ran Sujuan still sentenced him to death in advance in her heart.
She knew that with Mandrill's violent temper, this intruder in white who behaved recklessly would definitely end badly.
"I didn't expect that in this barren mountain, I could actually meet the descendants of the Dark Flame Dragon God."
Unexpectedly, before the mandrill erupted, the man in white actually spoke first, "Little guy, what's your name?"
Judging from the fact that he is almost the same age as Demon Mandrill, he has the tone of an old-fashioned senior, and actually refers to this hot-tempered saint as "little guy".
"What's my name? It's none of your business?" A look of violence flashed through Gui Mandrill's eyes, and he grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, "If you are sensible, get out of here!"
If it had been in the past, he would have rushed forward and punched the opponent so hard that his parents didn't even recognize him.
This shows that these three years of seclusion have made his character much calmer.
"What a grumpy little guy."
The man in white was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "He is indeed the descendant of the Dark Flame Dragon God. Even his temper is similar."
"What a bullshit dragon god, I don't know you." The impatience on Ghost Mandrill's face became more and more impatient, "I only know that if you don't get out of here, you won't be able to leave alive."
"Oh? Do you have such a skill?" the man in white said with great interest, "I really want to see it."
"Why bother?"
The cold light in Ghost Mandrill's eyes flashed away, and he sighed softly, "Isn't it good to be alive?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already appeared in front of the man in white. His right hand turned into a claw and he clawed hard at the man's face. His movements were so fast that they were almost teleporting and could not be caught with the naked eye.
Show mercy!
Ran Sujuan was shocked and almost blurted out these four words.
However, the image of Ghost Mandrill pushing her away fiercely and rushing towards the Wen Dao Sage with a murderous look on his face suddenly appeared in her mind. She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart and swallowed the words on her lips.
However, the next scene completely subverted her understanding.
The man in white raised his right hand and easily caught the demonic mandrill's violent claw.
Then, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Demon Mandrill in the abdomen with lightning speed, kicking him violently away and hitting the ground with a loud "bang".
A crater several feet deep was actually knocked out of the hard mountain surface. Dust and smoke billowed for a while, making it difficult to see the scene clearly.
