The world in this part of the world is dark and uncertain, as if it were outlined by hair dipped in thick ink. The positions of the four people should be roughly in the air, but there is a bottomless void all around, ethereal and formless, with countless ink pens. The "long yarns" outlined by the pen are curled up and entwined with each other, which are probably the clouds here.
"Look for the villagers. They shouldn't have gone far." Ge Yuan raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and lightly swiped his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to be illuminated and sparkling. Wang Xiang carefully discovered that there was a thin, glowing object attached to Ge Yuan's finger, and he quickly thought of the flying knife that was formed from the flying sword.
"Huh? It's strange, why can't I see them?" Ge Yuan was looking for the movements of the villagers, but his back was hurriedly poked by a kite more than a dozen times. It turned out that Ge Yuan was looking down with all his heart, and he didn't realize that something had floated in front of him.
Kite and the others didn't make a sound, they were completely attracted by the novelty of the thing.
Ge Yuan looked up and saw an eccentric little guy floating in front of him. This little guy was in juvenile form, wearing a "snowstorm hat", big black velvet "leather boots", and a connected black coat. "shawl", simple and cute, round body. It's just that this guy looks human. Lying in the void, holding up a chimney leisurely, with two white whiskers next to its nose, it took a puff of the chimney, shivered, and then exhaled white smoke, its big belly slowly smoothed out, and its body He gradually lay flat in the air, feeling quite at ease.
"What is this?" Ge Yuan said to himself, "Could it be a demon beast that has attained enlightenment?"
Du Xiaoyue pulled Ge Yuan's clothes and whispered: "I once had a strange book at home, which also recorded some strange stories. This should be an ancient beast called '芊', which ordinary people like to call It's a 'panda', it loves green bamboo and dragon meat, and it was once the mount of an ancient sage."
"Hiss...that's strange, why haven't I seen it before?" Ge Yuan counted with his fingers, "I have seen as many strange books as you. There is no such book among the beast tribe."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a response, but it was not his companion who responded, but the panda smoking a pipe.
"Of course, hiss...vomit...I'm not a beast."
"Who? Who is talking! Speaking... human language?" Kite and Du Xiaoyue poked their heads behind Ge Yuan, looking at the floating panda suspiciously.
The little thing was rolling around like a carp, swimming nimbly around the four of them, and said: "You guys are a bit interesting, you are very different from the humans in front of you, hiss... vomit... ..."
The kite choked on the smoke and knocked a few times. Wang Xiang was annoyed and stretched out his hand to strangle the panda's throat, but he didn't expect that it was unexpectedly sensitive and didn't even touch a hair.
"You are not a beast, then what are you?" Ge Yuan couldn't detect its origin, as if what he saw was just an illusion.
"Hiss...spit..." The panda tapped Ge Yuan's shoulder with the chimney and said, "Here's a reminder for you, boy, gossip makes a living and I am the key."
Ge Yuan subconsciously answered the words: "Movement causes earth to change, and silence causes...ah? Are you...an auspicious beast?" Ge Yuan's thoughts were racing in his mind, and then he said in surprise: "'Rat Disaster'! You are..." 'Rat disaster'!" Then he suddenly became enlightened and clapped his hands and said happily, "I have been wondering, 'Four Square Chess' can be said to have covered most of the algorithms seen in the world, and the 'rat' symbol has never been a bad luck sign, 'rat' To take the lead in reincarnation, he has always been able to turn evil spirits and prevent disasters. He has the appearance of a hero. At the same time, he also inherits blessings for thousands of years and opens up great fortunes for future generations. Those whose hexagram is 'Rat' will suffer first and then get great blessings. But disasters can be remembered first, It's a disaster, but it's also a rat, so you must have luck and luck to change your destiny. And the only thing in this world that can change your destiny is..." He glanced back subconsciously, "There are only auspicious animals. OK, OK, everything will happen from the beginning. Auspicious beast, we are blessed on this trip."
"Hiss...spit..." Although the panda's body is young, his expression is old, "Why are you so excited? If you can't fulfill my request, I will become a disaster star."
"You have..." Du Xiaoyue lowered her head, "What are your requirements?"
"Answer me a question." The panda lay in the air, holding his head with one hand and tapping the chimney with the other, "Who are you?"
"I am Ge Yuan, a native of Huaxia. I studied under Taoist Priest Longhu Mountain. I started training at the age of nine. I became famous at the age of eleven. I was invincible at the age of thirteen. I traveled to various states at the age of fourteen. I have left home far away at the age of twenty." Ge Yuan looked towards the panda. Bye, then a golden magatama appeared on his body. The panda took the chimney and tapped it gently. The magatama shattered into green air, and Ge Yuan suddenly felt refreshed. He understood that he had passed the test.
"My daughter Du Xiaoyue is from Huzhou. She was originally the daughter of the city lord. However, natural disasters struck and her family was destroyed. She went to sea at the age of fifteen and became a slave in a foreign land. She was rescued by her companions. She became acquainted with the Doranrak Pirates and gained strength. Although My companions have traveled here." Magatama did not appear on Du Xiaoyue's body for a long time. Obviously the panda was not satisfied. Du Xiaoyue hesitated for some time and suddenly said: "I got the chance of a ghost baby again in Tianshan Mountain." After that, the panda appeared on her body. After picking up the golden magatama, she also passed the test with a tap from the panda.
"Little girl Kite, Wangxiang and I are both..." Kite was a little worried. But the panda suddenly choked on the smoke. After coughing a few times, he took the chimney and knocked it quickly towards the kite. Golden magatama appeared on the heads of the kite and Wangxiang, and with two crisp sounds, they both turned into green air. . The panda ghostly made a hissing gesture towards the two of them, seemingly not wanting them to say anything more.
It swam around the four of them lightly again and said: "The second thing, hiss...spit...give me something that has the deepest bond with you."
"Huh?" Ge Yuan touched his chin, thinking about which treasure he liked to collect the most. But the chimney had been placed on top of his head. When the chimney left, a piece of spiritual energy was sucked out of his mind. Then the panda sucked away the spiritual energy of the remaining three people. It might be a memory, or it might be a piece of spiritual energy. All emotions are integrated into the chimney. Then, the panda took a hard sip, exhaled a thick smoke, and said: "Let's go, let's pass this test. Remember to come to me when you want to leave."
"We can still leave!" Kite said happily, "That's great." Then he turned around and looked at Wangxiang happily. For some reason, Wangxiang felt that Kite's eyes were very different from before. It wasn't that he was unfamiliar, but more real. , the kindness made him a little shy.
The panda snorted and disappeared in a flash, and the ink gauze unfolded in front of the three people, revealing the scene underneath.
