Wet viviparity

Chapter 133: Treasures, Treasure Offering Monster

"Little Taoist!"

There was a gentle voice heard, followed by a fragrance.

Ji Ming touched his face and found it was damp, but without a trace of water.

The fragrance, the sound, and the bitter and damp smell were all brought up from the well by a gust of cold wind and brought specifically to him.

Looking at another stone niche, the calf was still sitting as steady as a stone statue, motionless, as if it was unaware of the means being carried out in the well.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to agree.

The wind blows again, and a gust of bitter and damp air comes again.

"Little Taoist, please give me some food. My child is very hungry."

Ji Ming turned a deaf ear to it and pretended to be in a trance.

A long time ago, when he first came, Shan Du mentioned the child in the well. Now someone mentioned it again. It was obvious that they were setting up a trap to lure him in.

"I have some money and pearls here. If you don't mind, I'll take them as payment for the food."

The cold wind blew straight up, and finally blew the beads up, right in front of Ji Ming. There was a hazy colorful light on each bead.

"A rare treasure among pearls."

Ji Ming was surprised. Even the master had never seen this thing before. It was only rumored to be circulated in the Dragon Palace.

He collected the precious pearls one by one, no less than twenty of them. He could no longer sit still, so he walked to the side of the well and looked at a large stone platform on the wall of the well.

There, a pregnant woman with her hair covering her face was pulling four or five naked children, looking eagerly expectant.

Ji Ming saw from the corner of his eye that the monk Huijin was clinging to the wall, trying to stay awake. He looked extremely skinny and did not have the energy he had a few months ago.

"It's a miracle that he managed to hold on for these few months."

Ji Ming thought to himself.

"Little Taoist, little Taoist, do you understand what the six Southern Dipper Spiritual Stele on the side of the well mean? Cover up the star map on the stele, and I will be able to send some food down."

The woman's skirt half covered her body, and her long hair was like weeds, but even so it could not hide her voluptuous figure.

She hugged her sons tightly and kept begging the young Taoist priest who was standing at the wellhead and looking down at her.

Ji Ming rubbed a shell pearl in his hand. It seemed that the woman in the well saw that he was young and had not experienced much of the world, so she acted out this sad drama for him.

But this play was full of loopholes. Just the line about covering the star map made Ji Ming unable to continue acting. This was not just bullying his young age, this was making a fool of him.

Ji Ming asked directly: "Does Xiao Qiulong have such treasures?"

Hearing the Taoist's words, the woman's heart sank immediately.

"The dragon son saw that we were suffering, so he gave us so many pearls. I just want the children to have a full meal. They haven't had any rice or water for a long time."

The woman wanted to continue acting.

The little Taoist priest by the well was as cold as steel, terrifyingly rational, and just stared.

The woman's eyes became fierce, and she strangled the children with her arms, causing them to twist and scream.

"Mountain Calf, is that so?"

In the stone niche, Shan Niu remained motionless in response to Ji Ming's question, just like an outsider.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Ji Ming lost interest.

A silver-gray circle of light rose behind his head, shining directly on the children in the woman's arms. In the circle of light, the children had fangs and green faces, and they were all in the shape of ghosts.

Several children covered their heads and jumped off the platform one by one. After a while, they were blown up again by the cold wind, and they looked like ghosts, crawling on the wall.

"The little Taoist is quite clever."

Seeing that she couldn't deceive the Taoist priest in the well, the woman changed her strategy.

"As long as you cover the spirit tablet and let me go, I will be a guest of honor at the Nanlao Sacred Mountain in the future."

Ji Ming, who originally didn't want to pay attention to this woman, asked one more question after hearing about Nanlao Sacred Mountain, "What does the Jackal Cave in the Red Stone Village of Nanlao Sacred Mountain have to do with you?"

Before the woman could speak, the thin monk Huijin spoke.

"There are five demon strongholds at the foot of Nanmu Mountain, each in charge of a different area of ​​Liling. They are worshipped as local gods by the local people of the mountain, and their traditions are very old. Chishi Village originally ruled the northwest of Liling, but because of the struggle with Panku Mountain, it had already declined thousands of years ago.

Your mother, Aunt Qiao, is a disciple of the demon in the Jackal Cave in Chishi Village, and this one is a demon in another large village, "Xuanshi Village."

"Haha~"

The woman laughed out loud, with a look of intimacy in her eyes.

"Good boy, I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. Speaking of that Aunt Qiao, I have some impression of her. She was the disciple of the Earth Jackal Patriarch, but unfortunately she ended up with a wild man."

At the end of her speech, the woman realized that she had said something out of turn and laughed awkwardly.

Ji Ming ignored the woman from Xuanshi Village and looked at Monk Huijin, saying, "I've thought it through."

In response to Ji Ming, Monk Huijin remained silent again. Although the monk's will was shaken by the harsh environment underground, he backed off when the time came.

The woman on the side was chattering non-stop, trying to establish a relationship with Ji Ming.

After a long time, when Ji Ming sat back in the stone niche and continued to meditate, the woman stopped talking and it seemed that she had given up.

A long time, several days or even weeks, passed in meditation.

The constant wind and snow on the peak had blurred Ji Ming's time. Only the old man Yuan or Wei Wulan who came to chat from time to time could let him know the exact time.

Here, Ji Ming fell into the dilemma of lacking the resources for practice.

With only one precious pearl left in his arms, Ji Ming had a vague idea of ​​meeting the little Qiulong.

However, Shan Du's indifference and the woman's intentional display of precious pearls made Ji Ming think more, so he gave up the idea of ​​contacting Xiao Qiulong.

"roar~"

After an unknown amount of time, a clear dragon roar echoed in the well, waking Ji Ming up.

In the nearby stone niche, the mountain calf had disappeared. It was unknown whether it had returned to the main hall or gone somewhere else. Ji Ming did not care.

After some time, Ji Ming became more and more sad as he sat in the niche.

In fact, the monthly salary from Huoxu Cave was not enough for him now. It was all used up not long after it was issued.

Under the pillar door, a stealthy figure approached.

Ji Ming was feeling distressed and annoyed, and was shocked to hear that someone had broken into the well. Without asking any questions, he directly sacrificed the White Bone Heart Bead. The sneaky figure was so scared that he rolled on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The younger one is here to offer treasures."

The figure held a rectangular sandalwood tray, which was covered with a red silk cloth, and there was a faint glow of precious light under the cloth.

The figure that was walking away turned out to be a wide-mouthed toad monster with a collar tied around his neck and two small hand forks hanging on his waist, looking like a warrior.

The silk cloth was opened, revealing a pile of precious shell pearls on the plate. The light from the pearls gathered together, illuminating the mouth of the well.

The Toad Monster simply put down the tray without saying anything, and retreated quite consciously, leaving behind only a plate of precious pearls to illuminate Ji Ming.

"There is a master behind Xiao Qiulong!"

Tielao Temple, inside the West Garden Zen Room.

A green-skinned Yaksha sat on the futon, scratched his wet, algae-like hair, and asked in a positive tone, "Do you accept it?"

The Toad Monster cupped his fists and flattered, "With the Yaksha King's clever plan, that little Taoist priest will be bribed by us sooner or later like a mountain calf."

"Do not."

Yaksha shook his head and said, "Shan Du is not a successful example. Although he was bribed, he asked us to 'not involve him' as a prerequisite.

And it is almost impossible to rescue the dragon without involving the mountain calf guarding the well."

"Then will this work?"

"This is different. For a junior at the second level of Qi Refining, even if he grew up in Huoxu Cave, has he ever seen so many treasures in his life?!
Besides, a righteous young man like him loves face the most. If we send him trays of treasures, will he have the nerve to refuse us in the end?!"

The Toad Monster flicked his long tongue and said worriedly, "If he takes the treasure and doesn't help us, then what will happen in the end..."

"No hurry, no hurry, first courtesy, then force."
