Chapter 429: Telling others is like telling a grandson
Jixiang Mansion, in the inn.
Li Chu's body was sitting cross-legged, wearing a green Taoist robe, with his temples hanging down and his eyes closed, looking in a trance, looking somewhere between spirit and spiritlessness, so handsome and extraordinary that it was hard to describe, he really looked like a god.
Next to it, on the third floor, there grew a small glazed tree that was radiant with light. It was about six feet tall, just covering Li Chuchu's head. It stood quietly with its light flowing, pretending to be an ordinary tree.
It's just that a normal tree shouldn't be here, and it shouldn't raise its vines to threaten Dulanke when he approaches...
"I said, Senior Liu..."
Lao Du looked at the glass tree, scratched his head, and said, "Before Master left, he told us to keep an eye on his body and not let the tree do anything. But now it's clear that the tree is watching Master's body and won't let us do anything... What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Liu Fufeng spread his hands and said, "How should I know? Taoist Xiao Li left in a hurry. Who else can beat this tree except him? To be honest, even if Taoist Xiao Li was here, it's hard to say who is stronger between the two of them..."
"Of course my master is powerful and handsome." Lao Du said as a matter of course.
"Indeed, this is a very lethal advantage..." Liu Fufeng was speechless for a moment, and then said: "But in a battle close to the top level, you can't expect your appearance to play any important role."
"Is that so?" Old Du looked at the glass tree, which turned a deaf ear to the words of the two idlers and waved a crystal leaf next to Li Chu's face, obviously fanning Li Chu, "Why do I feel that it plays a decisive role?"
“…”
Liu Fufeng was speechless again.
After two lifetimes of cultivation, he finally encountered such an existence that subverted his worldview. It was indeed difficult for the old man to accept it. If he was really seventeen or eighteen years old, I believe he would be much more tolerant of the world in the future.
Just like Wang Longqi, although he is just an ordinary man, but after getting to know Li Chu, no matter how outrageous the things he sees are, he will just smile slightly and will never be surprised.
Oh, the existence that subverts Liu Fufeng’s worldview is not this tree, but also Li Chu.
After a pause, he took a deep breath and digested it all, then said, "Master Xiao Li said to keep an eye on the body and not let the tree do anything. Obviously, he has some other concerns. Now the tree's behavior is still at the daytime stage, so we don't need to be nervous."
"What if it gets dark later?" Lao Du asked worriedly.
"If it really wants to do something, can you stop it?" Liu Fufeng asked.
"I definitely can't stop you." Lao Du pinched his waist and looked frankly like he was a waste.
"Alas..." Liu Fufeng exhaled slowly, "I probably can't stand it either."
"We have to hold on even if we can't." Lao Du gritted his teeth.
"Master Du, do you know Master Li's childhood?" Liu Fufeng asked.
"Eh?" Lao Du was stunned by his turn, "What?"
"Because judging from his age, it seems like you have watched him grow up." Liu Fufeng said.
“Hehe.” Lao Du smiled sheepishly, “Although I am a year or two older than my master… one or two generations, I met my master quite late. If I want to know about his childhood, it seems that I can only go back to Deyun Temple to ask my master.”
"Oh." Liu Fufeng nodded.
"What do you want to ask this suddenly, Senior Liu?" Lao Du asked curiously.
"I just want to know..." Liu Fufeng said slowly, "When Taoist Master Li was a child, did he fall in love with trees?"
…
Li Chu did indeed return to Broken Monument Mountain in a hurry.
I was a little worried about my physical body, but the tree was still quite docile and hadn't shown any aggression. It didn't seem like there would be any problems if I left it there for a while.
His lifelong good brother Qi Shao, who had been doing infrastructure construction for Deyun Temple all day long, was now stranded on Broken Monument Mountain, surrounded by notorious traitors, like tigers and wolves all around.
Moreover, Wang Longqi himself had no need to risk his life alone, as he was doing it to help the master and apprentice of Deyun Temple. Although after so much experience, everyone could no longer tell who helped whom more, but Li Chu still had a clear mind.
The dinner is coming soon, we can't just leave him there.
Back in the room at Broken Monument Mountain, Wang Longqi burst into tears.
"Li Chu...you are finally back."
"What's wrong?" Li Chu frowned, looking at him with an aggrieved look as if he had been molested.
He didn't seem to be injured.
Could there really be someone doing this on Broken Monument Mountain?
Come to think of it, if it was Broken Monument Mountain, it wouldn't be strange to do this.
The thought was fleeting. Li Chu retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Longqi again, and heard him answer: "Nothing serious, I was just scared, and... after you left, my identity was discovered!"
"What?" Li Chu's eyes focused on the sword.
If Wang Longqi reveals his identity, then in order to ensure his safety, the people on Broken Monument Mountain must not tell anyone else.
The safest way...
But the master probably wouldn't allow himself to do so, as he obviously had deep feelings for this rebel hideout as the founder.
But the bounties on these people are really high... No.
It's not about the money.
"But fortunately, the person who discovered it is not an outsider, but one of our own." Wang Longqi said again.
"One of our own?" Li Chu asked, "Who is it?"
"Do you remember the guy named Long Gang in Shenluo City?" Wang Longqi said.
"The heroes of Broken Monument Mountain are so infuriating?" Li Chu recalled.
"I think he has this nickname..." Wang Longqi muttered, "It's the one with a big head and a big face who doesn't look very smart."
"Oh." Li Chu nodded in understanding, and a figure came to his mind, "So it was him?"
"Yes, we overlooked that this guy has a dog nose." Wang Longqi said: "He smelled my scent, tricked his way into opening the door, and took off my mask as soon as he came in. Didn't you say that no one in Broken Monument Mountain is so bored... I didn't guard against it."
"Well...it's not your fault." Li Chu nodded and frowned, "It's just that the truth was exposed so quickly. If it spreads, then the things that the master has told us to do in Broken Monument Mountain will be difficult to handle. What is his attitude now? Should I talk to him?"
"Hehe, your brother is not a complete loser either. I have already subdued him with my eloquence." Wang Longqi said with a smile, "I persuaded him with emotion and reason, and he promised me that he would never tell anyone about this."
"Is it reliable?" Li Chu asked again.
"Don't worry, you didn't see how he looked when he left." Wang Longqi patted his chest and said, "He looks silly and doesn't seem like a liar. Besides, he's almost sworn an oath. If he tells anyone that he's a grandson, he won't even tell his parents or master."
"That's good." Li Chu nodded.
…
at the same time.
"Master, oh Master, you don't know what I saw!"
A cloud of fire fell from the edge of the cliff, and Long Gang hurried to meet it.
"Is that reasonable? Is that reasonable?"
"What's so urgent?" A sharp voice sounded, "Pull over to the side and don't block me from parking. If something gets bumped or stepped on, it's your fault and mine. If you say it's your fault, then you're a real man. If you say it's mine, I won't agree. All six horses are watching this. To put it in a good way, it's your fraud. If you don't pay for the death, I'll have the right to argue no matter where I go. If you get killed, it's fine. But if not, who will take care of you for the rest of your life? Do you have a wife and children? Even if you do, you're done for. Who will take care of your wife and children? Of course, I can take care of your wife, but I'm not responsible for the children... Unless you change your last name..."
The fire cloud fell to the ground and gradually dissipated. It turned out to be a chariot pulled by six winged fire dragon horses. Sitting on the chariot was a fat man in a black robe with small eyes.
"Alright, alright, stop reading." Long Gang pleaded with the driver in pain, "Master Monkey, you don't know what's going on. There's something wrong with that Wang Qi who went up the mountain!"
Long Gang's expression was so confident.
If Wang Longqi, who had just seen him swear, saw that expression, he would probably find it very familiar.
