A group of little demons and three humans were standing in the middle of the mountainside. There was still half the way to the top of the mountain.
Luo Ma's eyes were complicated as she looked at the little snake demon with fur all over the head on the dozen or so steps. She hesitated to speak.
Seeing that the three people were being frightened by him, the little snake demon suddenly became arrogant. He raised his upper body, raised his head high, and shouted arrogantly.
"Hey, do you know where this is? This is Xiaoqingshan. Before you came in, did you sign the door sticker? Did you give a door-to-door gift? Did you ask for the owner's permission? Come in as soon as you say you're coming in. Do you really think that we don't exist?"
They kept asking, if only Yang Yanbin and Yu Peng were the only ones, they would really be intimidated. Of course, the King of Hell understands that it is hard to find a kid. If he didn't know the situation clearly, he might have been intimidated by a few people blocking the way. But There is also Luo Ma. Luo Ma is the real owner of this mountain. Although she has not been here for about a hundred years, it does not mean that the owner has changed here.
But Luo Ma didn't expect how this...snake demon appeared and survived here, and she didn't know how he got these little animals. There were no such things as little animals here before. Even if Yes, I was already eaten by that lazy guy on the top of the mountain.
It seems that a lot of things have happened here in the past hundred years?
Thinking of the cat on the top of the mountain, the cat guarding the ruined temple, Luo Ma seemed to have thought of something. She immediately looked at the little snake and began to feel a little bored.
"It must have been caused by that lazy cat acting like a monster. See if I don't beat you up soon."
Luo Ma thought this deep in her heart, and then continued to climb up the steps, not paying attention to the snake demon and several other little monsters at all.
When the snake demon saw that the woman was not frightened, but walked up, he was a little dazed, and then a little panicked. Especially when he saw the look in her eyes, he became more and more frightened and shouted hurriedly.
"Hey, stop, stop, I'm talking, don't you hear me? I...I...let me run!"
After saying that, regardless of the reactions of the other small animals, the snake demon slipped out and ran out, along the edge of the stone steps, into the forest on the nearby mountain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the other small animals were still in a daze state.
When Luo Ma saw the reaction of the little snake demon, she was stunned for a moment. No matter what she thought, she never expected that the little snake demon would be so unbearable. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, ignoring the few little snakes that were about to reach her. The animal did not look back at the two people behind it, passed between a group of stunned little animals, and continued to walk slowly up the steps.
It's just that Yu Peng clearly felt that Luo Ma's steps were heavier than before, but her speed was speeding up unconsciously.
The journey that followed was just like Yu Peng's feeling, with the speed gradually accelerating. It didn't take long for a few people to reach the door of the temple on the top of the mountain.
The temple is very dilapidated. The old brick walls and several decorative corners have fallen off or been damaged. The two wooden doors are also cracked with many gaps. Some of them are thick, and you can even see the environment inside the temple.
Luo Ma gently pushed open the wooden door. After the squeaking sound, a big gray-black cat heard the sound and flew out of the temple. Although it looked like it weighed dozens of kilograms, its steps were still brisk. Agile, standing inside the door, when he saw his master, his eyes filled with tears, and he flew into Ma Luo's arms, meowing and sobbing.
Luo's mother originally planned to scold it first, but when she saw it like this, she was filled with guilt. She immediately lost her temper, held the big cat in her arms, and ran her other hand along its fur, whispering comforted her and walked towards the temple
This temple seemed very big from the foot of the mountain, but after entering, Yang Yanbin and Yu Peng discovered that this temple was actually very small. It was surrounded by brick walls, and in the middle was a small room similar to the City God's Temple. There is a two-story attic. There is a bronze bell more than five meters high hanging in the building. Other than that, there is nothing else.
The moment he entered the temple, Yang Yanbin seemed to suddenly come to his senses. His whole body trembled, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He raised his head and opened his big eyes. He looked at Yu Peng in shock. In the blink of an eye, fine fluid began to ooze from his forehead. sweat
Mother Luo held the cat in her arms, walked to the front of the bronze bell, bent down and bowed three times, then turned around and faced the two of them for the first time, talking while turning around.
"Fortunately, you are still the eldest young master of the Yang family. After practicing for so many years, you are still just...fuck!~~~"
He leaned back and played a long note before it ended.
He stared closely at Yu Peng in front of him, refusing to leave.
The image of the originally lazy and noble lady was shattered the moment she saw Yu Peng.
After a while, he realized that Yang Yanbin had also reacted and reminded him in a low voice.
"Mom Luo?"
Luo Ma just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a daze.
"Damn, I haven't seen such a beautiful person here in hundreds of years. Come here, come over and let Aunt Tang take a good look at her."
Yang Yanbin was stunned, Yu Peng was also stunned, and Luo Ma also reacted later and was also stunned.
The three of us were more or less embarrassed.
It wasn't until a sharp meow came out that the embarrassment was relieved. The fat cat was a little at a loss. Looking at the owner holding him, he meowed several times with some grievances. Just now, Luo's mother was absent-minded, pinching the fat cat. The cat's hand is a bit heavy and it hurts a lot
Luo Ma coughed a few times and thought for a while before speaking to Yang Yanbin again, but obviously her tone was much better and softer than before.
"Before I saw this child, I really couldn't figure it out. Now I finally know it. No wonder you, the Yang family, are willing to invest such a large sum of money, and that little plum. Although I have always looked down on him over the years, but The bet I made on him finally made me look up to him. When he comes back, please remember to go to his grave for me to place incense sticks and tell him that Luo Ma has forgiven him."
Yang Yanbin was confused when he heard this, but he still nodded.
Some of his original arrogance was knocked to the bottom at that moment. Only he knew what he had experienced along the way.
Luo Ma continued
"And you, you have passed the test. Although you relied on the little guy Yu Peng to accompany you along the way, it was precisely because of him that your journey was more difficult than I expected. You may be a little bit stronger, but don’t get too happy too early. In my eyes, it’s no different than not being strong at all.”
Yang Yanbin's head sank even lower. He bowed to Luo Ma respectfully and responded.
"Cheng'en Luo's mother agrees. I know I feel guilty towards Linlin and I have nothing to repay. I can only say sorry to you."
Seeing Yang Yanbin's reaction, Luo Ma sighed softly and said
"Okay, if I had known about you earlier, maybe my attitude towards you would have been slightly better. Even if I know now, it's too late, and there is no point or necessity. You can just do your thing with peace of mind."
Obviously, on the way just now, although Yang Yanbin passed the so-called test, his background was all known to Luo Ma, so his attitude towards Yang Yanbin suddenly changed.
Of course Yang Yanbin also understood, smiled bitterly, and nodded in agreement.
Good guy, I have hidden the secrets for so many years, and without knowing it, they were all exposed. How can I explain it to my father this time?
Now I can only pray that Luo Ma will not reveal this matter, otherwise, we will be in big trouble.
But then I thought about it, Ma Luo probably wouldn’t do such a thing. After all, the news was too shocking, it would easily shake the perception of the high-level circles, and the impact would be too great.
Following his worries, Luo Ma's operation completely made Yang Yanbin's heart drop.
Luo Ma raised her finger and pressed it on her temple, and then a shining gossamer of consciousness was pulled out. Luo Ma said as she drew it
"Don't worry, everything about that matter is here. Although Luo Ma can keep the secret, no one can guarantee whether there will be any mistakes. The best way to hide the secret is to let the secret disappear, so..."
Then, she controlled the divine consciousness hairspring with her fingers and threw it into the bronze bell. With the faint sound of the bell, the divine consciousness hairspring was shattered into pieces.
Obviously, Luo Ma was slightly injured by such an operation. She frowned and rubbed her temples for a while before she recovered and turned to Yang Yanbin and said
"You passed the test, which proves that you are quite capable. Even if Linlin didn't miss it, it's a good thing that your Yang family hasn't treated Linlin badly in these years. Otherwise, even if your father comes over, you won't be able to take it away from me. a little something”
Although his tone is still gentle, it is obviously a little stiffer than before.
Yang Yanbin and Yu Peng were both a little shocked by Luo Ma's manipulation. They were shocked not only by her methods, but also by her decisiveness.
The two of them lowered their heads in tacit understanding, each feeling shocked in their hearts.
Yang Yanbin didn't know what he was thinking, but Yu Peng was thinking that this method looked very powerful, but he didn't know whether it would be applicable to him. After studying it for a while, Yu Peng gave up decisively.
I can't forget the extremity realm, let alone the fragments of consciousness of the monster leader. Although I have built an extremely complex and huge maze defense barrier in the sea of consciousness, once I forget this, what if something happens accidentally? It's not worth it.
As for his other memories, there seems to be nothing to hide. On the one hand, they are not important. On the other hand, Yu Peng has a clear understanding and confidence in his own abilities. After all, no one or creature is strong. Those who can explore their own consciousness under the suppression of the soul-burning fire
Especially during sterilization, he was accidentally deceived. After the little boy broke through his conscious defense and discovered his secret, Yu Peng's defense in this regard can be said to be quite solid. Even that little boy now The boy met him again. Unless he planned to collapse Yu Peng's consciousness or destroy Yu Peng, he would not be able to break through his own consciousness defense so easily.
After a moment, Luo Ma turned around, bowed three times to the big bronze bell again, then casually pulled it forward, tore a hole in the air, and took out a round ball from inside.
The box is a spherical structure as transparent as water, but the material is unknown. It is more likely to be made directly of water. As Luo Ma moves, it will vibrate and ripple like water. Although it is transparent, you cannot see what is inside. what is
Yu Peng just glanced at it and lowered his head.
I came here with Yang Yanbin, but after all, this is an internal matter of the Yang family. I can't help but watch it. It's not that I'm worried about anything, I just think it's rude.
Yang Yanbin took it with both hands respectfully and carefully placed it in his personal storage space.
Luo Ma glanced at Yu Peng, thought for a moment, but still spoke.
"I won't tell you how to use it. I don't lack the means to come to your house, but I still have to tell you that such pure earth and water essence is hard to come by. Even I only have this one, so don't waste it. "
Yang Yanbin responded in a very solemn tone.
"Don't worry, Mom Luo, the Yang family knows what's right and what's important."
"Um"
Luo Ma also hummed, then turned her head, looked at Yu Peng, and asked
"There are always strange people and strange things in the world, but this is the first time I've met someone like you. It's an eye-opener."
