Wet viviparity

Chapter 131: Apologize, Lock the Well
A pair of palms were stretched out in front, with white palms and clear lines.

Both palms have six fingers, and each finger bone is clearly visible. If you look at the palms against the light, you can see the jade-like bones in the flesh.

Under the thousand-year-old plum tree, Susu stared at the hands intently, feeling a little complicated.

In the past, she had looked down upon Jin Tong in front of Ling Gu, but unexpectedly, everything he showed was just the result of deliberately concealing his shortcomings.

How old was the other person, perhaps fourteen or fifteen, and he had been hiding in the cave for three or four years without her noticing.

The master stared for a while, his expression did not change.

"When Fei Hu sent you to me and you took shelter in my cave, I knew there must be some secrets about you, but I didn't expect you to be the celestial being who came to earth.

This six-fingered celestial being is quite interesting.”

The master's words were light and seemed to be intentionally trying to lightly touch upon the matter.

Susu felt a little jealous. The master was always strict with people and things, but he didn't expect that he changed his attitude towards Jintong. Perhaps the master himself didn't even notice this attitude.

Ji Ming looked guilty and said, "The master treated me sincerely, like a son and a nephew, but I kept it a secret until my enemy showed up.

I came here today to ask for punishment and to leave the cave. Jin Tong has no face to stay here any longer."

Seeing Jin Tong's serious tone, the master sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this?"

Ji Ming shook his head and bowed again.

His move is certainly a step forward by retreating, but the punishment for himself must be real and there can be no compromise. This is a gesture of admitting one's mistakes.

If you are lenient with yourself in this matter and leave a knot in the master's heart, it will be a loss.

The old ape came to the old plum tree, took a look at Ji Ming, and then said to the master: "Master, the thief monk has been escorted to the Locking Well of Cold Ridge Peak.

I have asked the mountain god, he is a monk from Heshanfang, with the Buddhist name Huijin, and he was able to climb Zirong Peak through the way of Zhong Chengzi. "

The Locking Well that Old Ape mentioned is an ancient well from the Tianzhou period. No one knows who dug it, but it leads to the underworld and the underworld. Later, it was used by many immortals in Jiheng Mountain as a place to lock up demons and suppress evil.

Monk Huijin was dropped into the Sin-Locking Well. In order to prevent his body from falling into the underworld, he had to cling to the wall of the well, suffering the pain of the cold wind scraping his bones every day.

"The monk came here to seek revenge. He fought in front of the cave and caused trouble. He was imprisoned in the well for a year and a half."

As he spoke, the master looked at Ji Ming, his tone slowed down, and he said, "There are many criminals and demons imprisoned in the well. Since you asked to be punished, I will punish you to guard the well for two years.

Two years later you will leave Huoxu Cave on your own. Once you have accumulated 300 good deeds, you can return to the cave."

The old ape was a little anxious. He and Jin Tong got along well. He said, "The Cold Ridge Peak where the Locking Well is located is extremely cold. And because a "Little Qiu Dragon" has been locked in the well recently, there are often monsters breaking into the well. Is it too risky for Jin Tong to go there?!"

"Jin Tong, what do you say?"

the master asked.

Ji Ming said without hesitation: "I'll go guard the well."

The master was very satisfied with Jintong's attitude of admitting his mistakes. He admitted his mistakes without any hesitation. This was the character that the disciples she taught should have.

Unfortunately, this disciple and she were only related in name only. Thinking of this, she felt a little resentful towards Taoist Feihu.

"Bring me the dirty gold bottle!"

The master said to Su Su who was standing beside him.

The master took out a plum branch stuck in the dirty golden vase and said, "This thousand-year-old plum branch has been kept in the vase for a long time. It can sweep away evil and also lend me the magical power of "the sky is round and the earth is square."

You keep it for now, and if you are really defeated, use this treasure."

Ji Ming took it respectfully. The branch of the thousand-year-old plum tree above his head trembled slightly, as if it was dissatisfied with the master's act of lending it to him.

The master smiled at the plum tree and said, "You have practiced Taoism for a thousand years, but you are so stingy."

Ji Ming and Yuan Lao returned to Tougu Garden together, and on the way, they asked about the situation of the Locking Well on Hanji Peak. "There are many demons and evil spirits imprisoned in the well. Not only the immortals on our Zirong Peak, but also the cultivators from other peaks will capture demons and evildoers and send them to the well one by one.

Anything that has been sent down has never come out.”

"What about Monk Huijin?"

Elder Yuan gave Ji Ming a reassuring look and said, "For a mere Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator to be able to survive a full year underground is already a great feat."

Then the old ape whispered, “I heard that before Madam Nanhua Huode ascended to heaven, she locked up many giant demons in this well.

Those giant demons and monsters did not dare to come out and face the lady, and their bodies fell into the underworld, while their souls turned into ghosts and gods, and established many foundations in the underworld."

"What happened to the little Qiulong?"

Jiming asked.

“There are some evil spirits with deep backgrounds in the well. They always have some remnant followers outside. Occasionally they come to the Cold Ridge Peak to open the well and save people, but this is rare.

Only the little Qiulong is the son of a real dragon in Tianqing Dafang.

For some unknown reason, he ran to the foot of Jiheng Mountain to play and drowned the people in the town. Therefore, he was captured by an immortal on the peak and thrown into the well.

This dragon is very much loved by the real dragon. If this weren't the Jiheng Mountain, the dojo of Lady Nanhua Huode, the dragon would have come here in person to dig the well instead of just sending some small fish here."

"Without Meizhi, can I handle those small fish?"

"This"

The old man thought about it seriously for a while and said, "It's hard to say."

It is hard to say whether this statement was made to save Ji Ming's face or was really true. Ji Ming probably believed it was the former. After all, the minnows of a real dragon were definitely not ordinary fish.

The old ape thought that Ji Ming was worried and said, "Not to mention that you have the plum branches to protect you, there is a "mountain calf" guarding outside the well, so you don't need to worry.

Just remember one thing, when a demon breaks into the well, be careful not to get hurt by mistake. If all else fails, use the master's magical powers to get back."

Ji Ming was not worried, he was just thinking about Su Luozi.

Monk Huijin disappeared at Zirong Peak in Jiheng Mountain. Once Sulazi got the news, he would definitely find him as long as he continued to investigate further.

He has nothing to do for now, but he can't always rely on the master for shelter. In three years, he will have to go to Taiping Mountain to take the examination to become a Taoist disciple.

The only solution now is to trouble the old Taoist to think of a solution.

As time went on, he clearly felt Su Luozi's pressure.

The incident involving Monk Huijin was definitely not an accident. Wherever he could not see, that Surabaya must have been making other efforts to find him.

Ji Ming cannot count on Suluozi's laziness or stupidity.

Or if he completely relies on Master Feihu's arrangement, he also has to think of a way to counter it.

It would be difficult for him to counterattack by himself. The master would protect him, but he would most likely not help him counter Suluozi. There was almost no power he could borrow.

"Little Qiulong?"

Ji Ming was shocked by his own absurd idea. He actually wanted to take advantage of a dragon son who was eager to escape from trouble.

However, the monk Huijin imprisoned in the well is an opportunity. As the second disciple of Surazi, this monk must know Surazi's enemies and even his weaknesses.

After giving some instructions to the two boys in the garden, Ji Ming wrote a letter of confession and threw it into the water at the foot of the mountain, asking the river god and earth god in the water to deliver it to Heguan.

Then he packed up his luggage, brushed the plum branch, and the ground under his feet seemed to shrink continuously and flow into his heels. Ji Ming took a step and arrived at the peak of the mountain where the wind was fierce.
