Chapter 810: Fourth Master: You’ve Worked Too Hard
After saying that, the Fourth Master picked up the warm wine and slapped the giant python again.
The giant python was knocked onto the rocks again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Fourth Master quickly flew out of the cave with the warm wine.
After coming out, he quickly found a stone and blocked the entrance of the cave tightly.
Just as the two were about to flee, they noticed that several figures had suddenly appeared around them, rushing towards them one after another.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and said, "Mountain monster?"
"How can this be some mountain monster? This... this is simply the living dead!"
Wen Jiu was also shocked. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a group of people who were neither alive nor dead. It just so happened that the left half of the face of the person in front of him seemed to have been scratched by something, and the skin was still drooping. His stomach suddenly churned and his face turned even paler. "Master, how could this happen?"
The Fourth Master's brows were furrowed. "This is by no means a simple matter. Quick! Jiu'er, come up!"
The next second, he took out his magic weapon, pulled the warm wine behind him, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Not long after they left, the entrance of the cave exploded with a bang.
The giant python, as thick as two men, emerged from the cave and circled the mountain several times. Seeing no one, it roared in anger. Its massive tail smashed the surrounding zombies into pieces, leaving them in a bloody mess. However, they seemed unconscious and remained frozen in place.
The giant python's eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.
He angrily slammed his body against the mountain, making bursts of roaring sounds.
After a while, it also quieted down, tilted its head back and hissed out some strange syllables.
At the same time, at the other end of the mountain range, a fair-faced boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting quietly.
He had red lips and white teeth, and was a handsome man. His robe was spotless, and his slender white fingers were fiddling with a string of Buddhist beads at a steady pace.
In a trance, his fingers paused, and his beautiful eyes suddenly opened.
There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his sparkling eyes. The next second, he slowly stood up, picked up the bowl beside him, and walked out of the cave slowly, step by step.
…
"Master, that was a close call. They didn't catch up, did they?"
Apart from the forest, Wenjiu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"It's okay, don't worry." The Fourth Master touched Wenjiu's head, and then took out the marrow-cleansing grass from his arms: "Jiu'er, take what you want."
Wen Jiu took it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally got it. I don't know if these are enough for me."
Xiao Jin said that this marrow-cleansing grass is different from other things. If it is put back into the space rashly, its medicinal properties may change.
Wenjiu then asked the Fourth Master to pick only one flower stamen that could be used as medicine.
Leave the rest aside to provide a way out for the future.
However, thinking of the giant python today, Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown. "Master, I've really broadened my horizons today. It's a good thing you came with me. If I were alone, I might have ended up in the python's belly. The rumors are true. I didn't expect that there would be a strange beast guarding the treasure of heaven and earth."
"I should be thanking you. You saved me in the nick of time again."
The Fourth Master glanced at Wen Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, so, the treasures and various rare medicinal herbs you gave me before, were all obtained with such hard work?"
After hearing this, Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment. When she looked at the Fourth Master again, she found that he was looking at her with heartache. He even took her in his arms and patted her shoulders carefully, looking very distressed.
"Girl, how much hardship did you endure to get these things?"
Wen Jiu blinked his eyes: "Uh... Master, it's not too hard for Jiu'er."
The most difficult time has long passed. Speaking of which, the most difficult period was the time when we were worried all day long, afraid of being strangled to death, right?
Now, the person who wants to strangle me has given me the most comfortable life.
Tsk tsk, life is so unpredictable.
"Jiu'er, remember, never go into such a dangerous place for me again." This girl did so much for herself.
The Fourth Master had thought he was just going up the mountain to pick a herb, but he hadn't expected to encounter so many difficulties. The little girl hadn't mentioned a single thing from beginning to end. For a moment, the Fourth Master felt a warm sensation in his heart.
Wen Jiu looked at the Fourth Master, who seemed to be very touched, and blinked: "Master, well, I'm really sorry..."
"Don't say anymore, I understand." The Fourth Master squeezed Wenjiu's delicate and boneless little hand and said, "If something like this happens again in the future, you must let me stay by your side. Do you understand?"
Wenjiu blinked: "Oh, okay."
The Fourth Master exhaled a breath, and finally couldn't help but put his hand on Wenjiu's head: "My wine always impresses me.
Not only does he know where the genius and treasure are hidden, he also knows their nature. It's truly amazing.
You...are you really from a Chinese medicine family?"
After the Fourth Master said this, he couldn't help but want to slap himself in a trance.
Could it be that he didn't even know this girl's background? That would be really stupid of him.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Master, wait a minute, I have something for you."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
Wenjiu stuffed the grass back into the space, then quickly returned to the space. He gritted his teeth and exchanged a hundred days of life value for an introductory manual on cultivation.
Then, he came out of the space and stuffed the book into the Fourth Master's arms.
The Fourth Master took a look at the thick book in front of him and was stunned for a moment: "This is..."
Wen Jiu just said: "Master, when you finish reading this, you will be more knowledgeable than Jiu'er."
The Fourth Master took one look at the tattered book and was a bit skeptical about it. But the things Jiu'er gave him seemed to be good.
He immediately patted Wenjiu's head and said, "Okay, I'll take a look when I get back."
"Well, okay." Wenjiu nodded with a smile.
"Let's go." The Fourth Master increased his pace.
After entering the yard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the child was still in the side hall and had not come out, they returned to the main hall with peace of mind.
[Master! I was so worried about you when you came back. That giant python was so scary!]
Wen Jiu took off the mask on his head and untied the scarf. Then he rolled his eyes at Xiao Jin and said, "But you have been staring at me at home?"
[I'm worried about my master, how could I not watch? And those living dead, how come there are so many of them all of a sudden?]
When Wenjiu talked about this, he couldn't help but frowning. He glanced at the Fourth Master beside him. Seeing that the Fourth Master was in a trance, Wenjiu subconsciously helped him unbutton his clothes.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
The Fourth Master glanced at Wen Jiu in a trance, frowned and said, "I'm thinking about those mountain monsters..."
Halfway through his words, the Fourth Master's voice suddenly stopped.
Wenjiu looked over and saw the Fourth Master put his finger to his lips, made a hushing sound, and pointed out the window.
Wenjiu blinked and looked out the window curiously.
"Brother, did you see that? I'm tired!" Sanbao was supporting Dabao, and sweat was oozing out of his little head.
"Hush, keep your voice down!" Dabao glared at his brother and said in a low voice, "Don't let Ama and E'niang find out! Go any higher, he won't be able to see!"
Erbao was carried up by Sanbao and Dabao in a daze. He blinked and glanced at his brothers: "Actually, I can carry you up here together to watch."
