Wet viviparity

Chapter 27 Robbery, determination
Worshiping the moon to attract spirits, and practicing magic in the wind, Ji Ming's life became regular.

In compliance with the agreement with the Blood Goddess, Ji Ming's correspondence with Madam Zhang gradually became less frequent, but it was not completely absent.

Most of these few letters allude to the centipede fairy's breeding.

In addition, while he was practicing in seclusion by the pond, two foxes came to visit him.

They said that Master Tu had already completed the blueprints for the crossbow and hoped that he would return to the society as soon as possible and contribute some more ingenious items.

As a reward to Master Tu, the incident in which Ji Ming secretly helped Shu Si to escape can be treated as if it never happened in the society.

Ji Ming didn't know where the matter had been leaked, and the biggest possibility seemed to be that Mr. Bonni.

Although it has been imprisoned for a hundred years, it can still exercise its authority as a mountain ghost, controlling the birds and beasts in the mountains to serve as its eyes, ears and hands.

Ji Ming once killed his arm (Dao Hou) and forced him to reveal the method of helping Shu Si escape the disaster. He must have been greatly humiliated, so he had been intending to take revenge.

Ji Ming will keep this matter in mind for the time being and make up for it later.

Now Master Tu is asking for something clever, Master Bo Ni is harboring evil intentions, and the witch sees him as a thorn in her side. In this small Hengshan Mountain, he is already entangled in cause and effect.

No wonder mountain spirits and ghosts have to live in the mountains for hundreds of years. Once they go out of the mountains, if they make the slightest mistake, they will have no place to stand.

Ji Ming ignored Master Tu's call and drove away the foxes in front of him one by one.

He could barely remember how to make a repeating crossbow, so how could he offer any other ingenious items?

A few days later, Ji Ming received the news he had been longing for: the iron-backed centipede had been bred and sent back from "Panku Mountain".

"It's time to act!" Ji Ming thought.

I don’t know when it started, but Mrs. Zhang Xinmei rarely went to the pond anymore, and became more interested in practicing meditation at home.

The witch has been watching Madam Zhang's recent behavior and feels that although the demon's brain isn't very good, it is a trustworthy demon.

Just as the witch was thinking this, a crow carrying a letter flew straight into her home in Shibai Village without any cover.

"It's the messenger of that evildoer!"

The witch's bamboo stick was about to break, and she could only watch the crow fly towards her.

Not only was the Blood Goddess stunned, but even Madam Zhang, who lived under the same roof, was equally stunned. They all felt as if a crow had mistaken the recipient of its letter.

The fortune-teller was quick to pick up the letter and glance at it quickly.

Two things were written in the letter in crooked Papai.

One is that the demon said that he had fulfilled his promise and hoped that the witch could help him get rid of the addiction. The other is that he hoped to borrow the iron-backed centipede.

The Blood Goddess's face was not looking good. She had no intention of letting the other party go. She just wanted Xinmei to completely cut off the connection with the demon, and then secretly send others to get rid of the demon.

But what she didn't expect was that the demon would actually run into her hands today.

Taking another look at the location agreed upon in the letter, it was Luoxi Peak, over a hundred miles away. The demon seemed to be staying far away.

After the witch left, Madam Zhang under the eaves saw another crow flying over, a huge crow with an extremely handsome appearance and huge body.

As the giant crow landed on the ground, it blew a Taoist robe with it and pounced directly onto the robe, transforming into a Taoist priest in the gloomy wind.

Madam Zhang had a complicated expression on her face. She knew that Ji Ming had led the witch away because he must have something to ask her.

"You don't want your life."

Madam Zhang was kindhearted after all, so she went out to look around and said, "Although Shibai Village is located in a remote area, there are still some unconventional ways, or some Taoists from our area walking around in it.

Your transformation is not complete, so it is inevitable that your demonic nature will be revealed and seen by others."

Ji Ming felt the long-lost care and felt warm in his heart. He just said that he would leave later, and then got straight to the point: "I don't have much time left. I came here just to borrow something from you?"

"Iron-backed centipede fairy!"

"you know?"

Madam Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "I am not blind. Before you distanced yourself from me, you wrote to me for a long time to inquire about the Iron-backed Centipede. How could I not have guessed it?

However, the Ironback Centipede Immortal has been severely damaged due to breeding, and is being kept in the flesh by my mother-in-law. Even if I wanted to lend it to you, I can’t do anything about it.”

"Do not!

I don't need you to lend it to me, I want my mother-in-law to deliver it herself." After saying that, he whispered something beside Madam Zhang, causing Madam Zhang to laugh and said, "I really don't know in which life I have committed this sin that I have to play a trick with you."

"Don't worry, my lady. I will definitely repay you in the next life." Ji Ming laughed.

Madam Zhang thought it was just a joke and glared at him sadly. Then she stood under the eaves and looked out from afar.

"My mother-in-law has really come back!"

After a while, Madam Zhang said in surprise.

Outside the house, the Jade Blood Witch came back and left. The trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain could not be hidden from the old woman, not to mention that Ji Ming deliberately revealed some flaws.

When her mother-in-law came closer, Madam Zhang followed Ji Ming's instructions and pretended to be panicked.

"Hurry up!" Madam Zhang exclaimed, rushed out of the eaves, and looked from afar, "Grandma is back, you go back to the mountain for a while, I will send the iron-backed centipede to you tomorrow."

When the witch heard this from afar, wrinkles on her face almost gathered together.

It was obvious that Madam Zhang was deeply in love. If I were to break them up, I would probably be resented by this beloved disciple for the rest of her life.

The only solution now is to lend the Ironback Centipede out temporarily.

Then, he would find an evil disciple from a side sect, or a Taoist from the immortal sect, and kill him early in the name of slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

When the witch returned home, she saw the demon sitting calmly on the cushion in the house, as if he had predicted all her actions.

Restraining the malice in her heart, the witch dug two fingers into her palm, pulled out the twisting iron-backed centipede, and threw it directly into Ji Ming's arms.

"What a weirdo! Why do you have to ask my disciple for the centipede fairy? Just tell me directly. How can I refuse you?"

Ji Ming knew that the witch would not attack him in front of Madam Zhang, but would instead act magnanimous and kind.

I'm afraid that the witch has cursed him hundreds of times in her heart.

He put the iron-backed centipede into his sleeve, not afraid that the witch would command the centipede fairy to poison him. This might just be what he wanted.

When Ji Ming was about to leave, Madam Zhang supported the witch and called him, saying, "From today on, our friendship is over and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

The witch was very pleased to hear this, and felt that all her patience and efforts were not in vain.

"it is good!"

Ji Ming nodded happily.

Carrying the iron-backed centipede in his sleeve, Ji Ming returned to Hengshan.

The iron-backed centipede looked limp and weak. It seemed that after breeding and laying eggs in "Pan'u Mountain", it had indeed exhausted its vitality.

After borrowing the iron-back centipede, Ji Ming did not end his life hastily.

Nowadays, he no longer dares to collect energy at will, and even rarely sets foot in the secular world, for fear of accidentally attracting the Taoists walking in the secular world.

As for "illusion", there is no foundation at all. Going further is meaningless and a waste of time.

The current situation is just like the two bat-owl monsters who died at his hands.

Those two monsters sought after the young master simply to seek shelter and a chance to enter the spiritual world, but in reality they were just slaves and thugs in the society.

Even though Ji Ming has a small status in the community and has some influence in front of the master, that is just a trick, like water without a source or a tree without roots.

Although Ji Ming was grateful for the trust of Old Master Hu, he always had a clear understanding about this point.

The foundation of this world is extremely low. If one wants to achieve something, one must go through numerous disasters, endure all kinds of hardships, and have one's bones and flesh broken apart and reshaped before there is even a slight chance of success.

Having said that, since I have the precious eyes, why should I suffer such a disaster?

Since I became an adult, I have never believed in nonsense like suffering can lead to success. The only benefit of suffering is that it makes you painfully sober.

All he has to do is to use every opportunity of reincarnation in the most correct and appropriate way, ensuring that he gains something in every life, which will serve as accumulation for his immortality.

The most correct and appropriate thing to do now is to rob.

Who to rob?

Of course it was the broken-bellied Bonig in the old temple. I had disliked him for a long time, and now he deserved this disaster.
