chewing dragon

Chapter 31

Not long ago, Qi Jingzhi peeled off the tiger's skin with a sharp knife, hung it on the stone steps in front of the temple, and pressed it with Jian Renshou.

This knife is contaminated with some divine power, in case the ghost boy returns or the tiger skin suddenly makes trouble, it can also have a suppressive effect.

But right now, the knife moved by itself, as if someone lifted the handle lightly and was moving the blade bit by bit.

As the young man focused his attention on the past, Jian Renshou's blade suddenly stopped, and then it floated up in the air, flying towards the platform above the steps.

Qi Jingzhi stood up abruptly, jumped up the stone steps in a few steps, and while leaping upwards, he drew out the sharp knife with ears.

At the same time, there was a loud noise above his head.

When Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes, he saw that half of the tiger leg that had been gnawed into pits came first, flew over with a roar, and slammed into the direction where Jian Renshou was.

The momentum of this half tiger leg was so vicious that Jian Renshou, who was hanging in the air, suddenly stopped, and then he swung his blade horizontally, as if he wanted to intercept it.

In the next moment, there was a bang, and the tiger's leg hit the knife firmly.

Jian Renshou's blade bent first, then flew out obliquely in a whirl, and was nailed to the beam above the palace door with a thud.

Qi Jingzhi was the closest, and he could clearly hear an imperceptible grunt of pain.

He immediately followed the direction of the sound and threw the sharp knife over without hesitation.

"Master, spare your life!"

A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, and rolled on the ground in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding the sharp knife with ears.

Before he could stand up, Qi Jingzhi's foot stepped on the chest of the figure, and his raised head knocked back to the ground with a bang.

Qi Jingzhi looked down, and found that the person standing on his feet was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, who was sculpted in pink and jade, and the shock on his face was still there.

The little boy just blocked a powerful tiger leg and was almost stabbed by a knife, but he seemed to be a normal person and yelled angrily: "Master, please spare me! I don't dare to do it again!" !"

Although he begged for mercy loudly, he tactfully did not make the slightest struggle, his big bright eyes wandered around, carefully observing Qi Jingzhi's face and the surrounding environment.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi sneered, refused to relax the strength on his feet at all, and scolded: "You are not old, but you are quite courageous. How dare you steal under the nose of the young master! Tell me honestly, but there are still others party?"

"It's gone. The villain was alone. He went into the mountains to pick some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. He lost his way for some reason and crashed into the uncle's house. All mistakes are the fault of the villain, but the villain I don't have much meat all over my body, and it hurts my teeth when chewed, please don't eat me, sir!"

Hearing what he said became more and more shameful, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but frowned and said: "What a mess, I don't know how to eat people, and this is not my home."

The little boy on the ground was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the tall and ferocious old Mandrill not far away, then turned back to the boy's face, and asked hesitantly, "You really don't eat people?"

Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt that he couldn't laugh or cry, but most of the shock and anger that had just risen in his heart dissipated.

He retracted the foot that was holding Xiaowazi, and warned: "I don't even tell you, you should know that there is that senior here, with your meager ability, you will never be able to escape!"

"Don't dare to run! Don't dare to run!"

Xiaowazi responded, and crawled up, while patting the dust off his body, he said quite familiarly: "My little brother's name is Jiao Yulang, and he was loved by friends in the world, so he got the name of flying squirrel. Brother what is it call?"

"Which one is Brother Ni? You can climb the pole!"

Qi Jingzhi jumped up, pulled Jian Renshou off the beam, picked up the sharp knife with the ear of the cow, and finally pointed to the bonfire under the stone steps: "Let's go there to talk."

Jiao Yulang looked at Old Mandrill who was sitting by the campfire, and asked incredulously, "You really don't want to eat me?"

Qi Jingzhi snorted, and said angrily: "I have enough meat at noon, let's see it at night!"

Hearing what he said, Jiao Yulang was not afraid anymore, and immediately walked down the stone steps with his head held high and his chest held high.

The little boy took two steps, seeing that Qi Jingzhi didn't keep up, he immediately lost his temper.

He stopped and turned around, smiled embarrassingly, and said respectfully: "Brother, please first!"

Qi Jingzhi didn't answer, just stared at him motionlessly.

Seeing this, Jiao Yulang's face collapsed, he didn't dare to bargain any more, and moved towards the campfire without stopping.

Old Mandrill didn't even look at the little boy, but was imitating Qi Jingzhi's barbecue action before, gently moving the tiger's leg with one finger, with an equally focused expression.

Qi Jingzhi took Jiao Yulang and sat down by the campfire, stared at him and said, "I don't want to hide it from you, this senior is working under the seat of the mountain god here. Since you know a little about cultivation, you should know the truth that ghosts and gods cannot be bullied. Tell me, how did you get into the mountain? How did you find this place? And why did you steal?"

Hearing this, Jiao Yulang immediately showed doubts, and asked without answering, "Mountain god? There is no mountain god in the whole Linshan Mountain? Xiaosongshan is also a branch of Linshan Mountain, so how can there be a mountain god?"

The old man turned his head immediately, and stared at the little boy with a pair of strange eyes.

Jiao Yulang was excited, and said in his heart: "I know! The old man's hair is all white, and he must have a very long lifespan. He must be the god of the old mountain god!"

Lao Man grinned, turned his head away again, and continued to concentrate on roasting the meat.

Jiao Yulang shrank his neck, and immediately confessed: "I'll tell you the truth, brother, the reason why I got the title of Flying Mouse is because I know how to hide my body. When I rob the rich and donate to the poor, I never leave any traces. Outsiders don't know. Thought I could fly."

"Secondly, my younger brother is best at hunting for treasures. It doesn't matter if it's hidden in the wall or buried in the ground. As soon as my younger brother arrives, he will be able to dig it out. This is where the word mouse comes from."

Talking about the matter of stealing and digging holes, the little boy became more and more complacent as he talked, his face was full of pride.

When Qi Jingzhi heard this, his brows gradually frowned.

Jiao Yulang saw that his face was not right, so he quickly turned his face hard, and said solemnly: "Little brother has always been stealing for rich and unkind people, or looking for unowned wealth to spend. This time I went to the mountain because I heard that Xiaosong Mountain has good geomantic omen. , there are many ancient tombs in the mountains, so I came here to try my luck."

Qi Jingzhi pointed at himself, and said with a sneer, "A person who only steals to be rich and unkind?"

Jiao Yulang smiled awkwardly, and said in a weak voice, "This is a wild temple in the middle of the mountain, and the ground is full of blood, I only think of my brother as not a human..."

Qi Jingzhi paused when he heard the words, and thought about the scene in front of him carefully, but he couldn't refute for a while.

He simply skipped this section, and said in a deep voice: "Let's not mention this, and then explain your own affairs!"

"Yes! My younger brother also found this ancient temple by accident, and immediately had a whim, knowing that there must be treasures in the temple. I searched for a long time alone, and by chance, I saw my brother and this old man, and ...the treasured sword of my brother."

When he said these words, Jiao Yulang's eyes were rare and sincere, and his face was sincere: "Little brother was blind and thought that brother was not a human being. At that time, he thought in his heart, how could such a treasure fall into the hands of a different kind? That's why he risked his life." , to steal brother’s sword.”

Qi Jingzhi looked at it with cold eyes, felt that this little boy did not seem to be cheating, nodded immediately, and said in surprise: "This knife looks like it has better decoration and sharper blade. How can you tell it is a treasure? Are you willing to take a huge risk to steal?"

Now Jiao Yulang was a little strange: "Brother, don't you know that this knife is obviously a very precious ancient spirit pattern?"

Qi Jingzhi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I have only embarked on the road of cultivation for a short time, and I really don't know."

Jiao Yulang was even more surprised: "When my brother chased me, his body was so swift, like a bird preying on him, and his fists and feet were also powerful. Even if he didn't use thaumaturgy and secret techniques, he could still make a name for himself in the world with his martial arts cultivation alone. Come on. I have only practiced for a while...is that three years or five years?"

When it came to the four words thaumaturgy and secret method, Xiaowazi couldn't help but glance at Qi Jingzhi's left cuff.

Qi Jingzhi saw it, and shook his head calmly: "I haven't practiced for less than a month."

Hearing this, Jiao Yulang, whose eyes were wandering, suddenly raised his head, already dumbfounded.
