The Scorpion King screamed, and then placed the object in Qinghuang's palm. It turned out to be a lotus root several feet long. The object was completely white, with no trace of mud or filth. It looked extremely strange.
"What a fragrant lotus root, are you giving it to us?" Ruotao and Xiao Hei laughed in unison: "Qinghuang, please accept it quickly. This is a good gift."
"Hey, you guys are really thick-skinned. This is someone else's stuff, how can you ask for it?" Although Qinghuang said this, she had already put the lotus root into her sleeve.
After giving away the lotus root, the Sand Scorpion King seemed to feel that the gift was a bit too light, so he pointed to a lotus pod stretched out near the lotus and whispered a few times: "Squeak, squeak, squeak."
This time Ruotao saw the opportunity very quickly, "Qiang!" The thunder-swallowing blade was unsheathed and sheathed like lightning. She immediately cut off the lotus pod, and then caught it in her hand. She said: "Thank you, thank you, then I'm welcome."
"Well, you're really rude." Qinghuang and Xiaohei originally wanted to reach out and take it, but unfortunately, the little ghost took the lead.
"Chi chi chi." At this moment, the white-browed old monkey saw that the lotus pod looked good, saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he wanted to touch it.
"Pah." Ruotao hurriedly laughed and knocked off its outstretched paw: "Why are you so anxious? When I return to the tree house, you will be indispensable."
…
After a short while, they said goodbye to the Sand Scorpion King who had given him a great gift. Ruo Qinghuang and the others returned to the sand dunes where the leprosy rhinoceros freely ate thorns and ferns, and drove them back to the vicinity of the ancient cypress tree house.
"What?!" After listening to everyone's story, Guan Heng suddenly turned over from the wooden chair and sat up. He said, "Hey, you have such a wonderful adventure and you didn't call me? You three sisters are a bad example."
"Fuck you." Qing Huang poked the other person's forehead with his index finger angrily: "You don't even know how badly you're injured. If we take you there, we won't be able to take care of you along the way."
"What you said seems to have hit me harder..." Guan Heng said with a sad face: "How can I be so weak? Look..."
As he said that, he shook his arms as if he was still unconvinced, but who knew that the golden thread on his thoracic spine was touched all of a sudden, causing Guan Heng to grin and gasp in pain: "Hiss... Ouch..."
"Oh, look, is it affecting the wound again?" Seeing this scene, Qing Huang pressed him back on the wooden chair with some distress: "Lie down well."
"I don't want to lie down now." Guan Heng complained: "At least let me taste the piece of white lotus root you brought back, okay?"
"Huh, that's what you're after." Qinghuang's face sank and she said, "What a beautiful idea. I haven't eaten it yet, so how could it be your turn?"
"Okay, Qinghuang, stop joking with the young master." Ruotao came in holding a tray at this time: "Look, the lotus roots have been cut. Everyone, come and eat."
"Okay." Guan Heng and Qing Huang hurriedly gathered around, scrambling to grab the lotus root slices.
"Hey, Ah Heng, you'd better wash your hands first and then eat, otherwise you'll get a stomachache."
"Huang Niu'er, why don't you wash your hands?" Guan Heng threw a piece of lotus root into his mouth and chewed it. He said with a smile: "In my opinion, you just want to get rid of me. Let's really do it." Go wash your hands and come back, and you will have already eaten all the lotus root slices on this plate."
"What are you talking about? Don't be ashamed. A grown man is still arguing with me. Do you want me to know?"
"That's not possible. Everyone is equal when it comes to delicious food. Whoever grabs it faster will eat more."
Hearing the words of Guan Heng and Qing Huang, two weird foodies, Ruotao raised her forehead and sighed: "Who are these people? If I hadn't given Xiao Hei, Tungui Miao, Xiao Bai and Lao Hou their share in advance, If we reserve it, it will probably be snatched away by you long ago."
However, the white lotus root sent by the Sand Scorpion King was crisp and sweet, which made people have endless aftertaste after eating it. Guan Heng sat on the wooden chair and sighed softly and said: "Oh, it's a pity that there are too few. If only I could eat more." Two slices, that’s good.”
"Hey, don't be dissatisfied." Qing Huang said with a smile from the side: "How do you say that... By the way, eating bran when you are hungry is as sweet as honey, and eating honey when you are full is not as sweet. It's a good thing. If you eat it endlessly all day long, you will get tired of it, right?"
"Haha, it's so funny. I won't get tired of anything I eat." Guan Heng said unconvinced, then touched the wound on his body and suddenly said "Eh" in his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Qinghuang, Ruotao and Xiaohei, who were holding Tungui Miao, asked in unison: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, the golden shuttle has become smaller again. This time I seem to have found the reason." At this point, Guan Heng gently opened the skirt of his coat and said, "Look, what's wrong with this golden shuttle?" The same place?"
"No."
Qinghuang took the lead to step forward, then touched it with his hand, and then continued: "It's still the same as when you were injured. The wound gradually healed under the repair of the five elements' spiritual energy, and the golden shuttle was first embedded in the 'Nine Transformations Gathering' Spirit Armor', and then nailed into the bone seam near the thoracic vertebrae, and cannot be easily pulled out."
"By the way, that's it, everyone, come here." Guan Heng waved to the three women and said, "Look, has the Nine-turn Spirit Gathering Armor on me changed?"
"Huh?!" After hearing this, Qing Huang's expression suddenly changed, and then she discovered that there was a significant difference in the other person's armor.
"It's weird. I was worried about your injury before, so I never paid attention to the changes in the Spirit Gathering Armor. Why, why are there so many weird patterns on it?" Qing Huang said with a bit of consternation: "Also, it looks like there are some strange patterns on it. look familiar……"
"That's right." Guan Heng flicked the Spirit Gathering Armor on his body, and then said in a deep voice: "Is the newly added pattern exactly the same as the one on this golden shuttle?"
The eyes of the three women suddenly widened, and they all said in unison: "Yes, that's it."
"Oops." Qinghuang suddenly said with a bit of panic: "This golden shuttle is the demon soldier of the evil king of all nightmares. I don't know what weird and vicious things are inside. You must take off the spirit-gathering armor. one……"
"Wait a minute. If there was really any danger, wouldn't I be dead a long time ago?"
Guan Heng saw that she was a little too nervous, so he comforted Qing Huang and said: "Besides, we noticed it when I was injured. The evil spirit of this half of the golden shuttle has completely disappeared, and it does no harm to me. It's just that I found that this golden shuttle The missing part is integrated with the Spirit-Gathering Armor."
Ruotao asked anxiously at this moment: "Sir, will the fusion of the golden shuttle and the spirit-gathering armor be good or bad for you?"
"You ask me? Then who should I ask? The Nine-turn Spirit-Gathering Armor was forged by the Spirit King. I'm afraid only he can see the clues." Guan Heng spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. .”
"What I'm saying is that now my adoptive father is far away in the spirit world. We can only find a way to solve this unknown change and crisis ourselves." Qinghuang looked at the golden shuttle near Guan Heng's thoracic spine again at this time. Asked: "Do you really not feel any pain now?"
"Yes." Guan Heng touched the front end of the golden shuttle slightly at this time, and he continued: "It doesn't hurt or itchy, but it is stuck very tightly. I think part of the tip of the golden shuttle is still embedded in the bone seam. So I can’t take off the Spirit-Gathering Armor for the time being, but..."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "Based on the speed at which the golden shuttle shrinks and merges with this armor during this period, it is estimated that it will disappear after a few more hours. At that time, we will first remove the spirit-gathering armor. Take it off and make other plans.”
"Okay, let's do it like this." Qinghuang immediately sat next to Guan Heng, and she said softly: "Then I will keep guarding you."
"Oh, it's not like..." Guan Henggang wanted to say this, but suddenly he changed his mind: "What a good opportunity, it would be good to enjoy a relaxing moment with Qinghuang like this, although I think the golden shuttle and the spirit-gathering armor There’s no danger anymore, haha.”
"Then you guys can rest here." Ruotao grabbed Xiao Hei's hand and said, "Come on, come with me to see the Xuanling Flowers and the others."
"Why do you have to let me go again... Mom..." Before Xiao Hei could finish his words of complaint, Ruotao had already covered his mouth and forcibly dragged him outside.
Guan Heng in the room thought to himself: "Hey, it's better if no one bothers you. After the golden shuttle and the spirit-gathering armor leave, I will try with Sister Huang to see if the 'body functions' are fully restored."
At this moment, the top of the treetop. Xiao Hei threw away Ruotao's hand angrily and said, "Why don't you let me finish what I'm saying? I..."
"Okay, okay, I admit that I was reckless when I pulled you out without permission."
Ruotao quickly said a kind word to apologize to the other party, but then immediately changed the subject and said: "But you also saw that the young master's injury has not fully healed yet. You were chirping next to him. If you accidentally disturbed him, how could you? Aren't you going to get scolded again? I'm doing it for your own good too."
"Well, forget it, what you said makes sense."
When she said this, Xiao Hei lost his temper. She sat down on the ridge of the roof and suddenly sighed and said: "If you want to know whether my brother-in-law can fully recover, it will take at least a few hours. It's really boring. Tuntun, Xiaobai, don't you think so?"
The two cats lay down next to Xiao Hei and curled up, barking lazily, seemingly noncommittal. After all, for these lazy cats, just taking a nap in the sun would pass in the blink of an eye.
"Boring? No way."
Ruotao said at this moment: "Have you forgotten? We have found three materials before, including ancient sand viper fangs, desert red thorn cuckoos, and black veined mines in the forest on the mountainside of Xuanxuejian. Bai Weng said that these three materials Mixing these materials together, he can create a roof that attracts rain clouds and thunder.”
"Ah, that's right." Xiao Hei was already lying on the ridge of the roof, using his hand as a pillow to feel listless. After hearing this, he immediately turned over and sat up. She continued: "Taotao, do you want to..."
"That's right, it's idle anyway. Let's go find Bai Weng and ask him to modify the roof ridge. Then we can attract the rain clouds."
Ruotao said with a smile: "In this case, the 'Thunder-inducing Golden Cone' in your hand will be useful, even for Xiaoyan..."
"Huh - swish swish -" Before she could finish her sentence, the subtle airflow and wind surged around the little black necklace, and the soul of Yu Leiyan came out, and it said: "Hey, hey, I seem to hear Someone is talking about me, what’s the matter?”
"We are going to find Bai Weng to make a roof that can attract rain clouds. Do you want to follow us?" As soon as Ruotao said this, Yu Leiyan immediately replied: "Of course, since it is related to summoning rain clouds and thunder, I I’ll definitely go with you.”
Xiao Hei said happily: "Okay, let's go." Just like that, the two girls and Yu Leiyan happily ran to the lower level of the tree house.
"Grandpa Bai Weng, are you there?" Hearing Xiao Hei's crisp voice, Bai Weng immediately opened the door and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, everyone come in."
"Grandpa, is the roof ridge we commissioned you to build that can attract rain clouds completed?"
Hearing Xiao Hei ask this, Bo Weng's old face suddenly showed a hint of apology: "Well...I'm sorry, there was a little problem before, so I haven't finished it yet."
"ah?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hei and Ruotao looked very disappointed. Bai Weng was a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Actually, it's just a few small processes, and then there are the twigs and branches that I plan to use as the final material. I haven’t chosen the root yet, it’s just a small matter, don’t worry, after tonight, it will be completed.”
"Wait a minute." Ruotao suddenly thought of a question, so she said, "Grandpa, you said you wanted to use twig spiritual roots as the material, why haven't you chosen it yet?"
"Hey, you guys don't know something."
Bo Weng had a headache when he said this. He said: "Originally, I have selected all the materials. It is near an oasis less than five miles away from here. There is a branch of my spiritual root there. It is strong and durable. I asked Gu Sangnu went to get it, but this girl didn't come back for an hour, wasting all the time."
At this point, Bai Weng paused for a moment and continued: "I think Gu Sangnu may have been entangled in some trivial matters, so she planned to use other spiritual root branches as materials, but it was difficult to choose. No, I haven’t made a choice until now.”
Hearing this, Ruotao's heart moved slightly, and she said, "Grandpa, have you ever thought that maybe something happened to Gu Sangnu and she couldn't come back?"
"It's impossible. When I sent her out just now, I specifically told this girl to be careful of the evil monsters around her, and asked the giant bee to accompany her." When he said this, Bai Weng was also suddenly startled. : "Don't let it really happen again, right?"
Xiaohei was a little anxious at this time. He stretched out his hand to hold Ruotao's skirt and said, "Taotao, let's go find Gu Sangnu quickly. I think she may be in danger."
"Without further delay, let's go quickly." Xiang Bowen asked where Gu Sangnu went. Ruotao hurriedly pulled Xiao Hei out of the study room, and the two of them mounted Rong Xuan's corpse horse and galloped away in the dust.
…
On the other side, Gu Sangnu and Giant Bee really encountered trouble in the oasis. The time goes back half an hour when they first arrived here.
"Oops." Gu Sang Nu jumped from the giant bee's back to the ground, then took the oasis water and threw it on her face. She said, "It's so comfortable, so comfortable. We should play here for a while longer. "chapter;
