After unexpectedly learning about the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, Zhang Xiu felt a strange feeling in her heart.
This thing was weird from beginning to end.
First of all, there is that mysterious expert. He can even predict that the person with the seven orifices and exquisite heart has arrived in Huainan. How can he not find the rabbit spirit eavesdropping?
Also, the speed at which this rumor spread was a bit too fast. From the hidden meaning of the snake demon's words, it seemed that the entire Jianghuai monsters had gotten the news.
If he were a rabbit spirit, he would have suppressed the news about the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures no matter what. He would secretly follow the master after he accepted him as a disciple, and then find a scapegoat to lure the master away. It would not be too late to obtain the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures. .
Seeing Zhang Xiu's frown, the snake demon stretched out her finger charmingly, poked him in the face, and said with a breath: "Friend, I told you such important news, how are you going to repay me~ "
Zhang Xiu came back to her senses, stared at her, and said hesitantly: "The sword has no eyes, is it okay if I beat you with my fists and feet?"
Snake demon: "..."
Seeing Zhang Xiu's serious consideration, she really had some doubts now. Zhang Xiu had been hiding in the mountains to practice, and accidentally damaged his brain...
She took a deep breath, calmed down her anger, and said angrily: "Let's talk about cooperation. How many hundred years have you been practicing?"
Zhang Xiu sighed and looked to the west with a reminiscence on his face, looking as lonely as snow, and said slowly: "Eight hundred years have passed since I became a disciple of Mother Bodhi at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain."
The snake demon's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "So, you have been practicing Taoism for at least a thousand years!"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "A mere thousand years of Taoism is not worth mentioning. I have a fellow disciple who has been practicing for eighteen hundred years. He is also in the city at the moment. I will introduce him to you later."
The snake demon was happy at first, then frowned and said, "It would be nice to have another powerful helper, but with three people, it would be difficult for the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart to separate, right?"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "It's a simple matter. Kill one of them and divide the remaining two in half!"
The snake demon was stunned on the spot. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked with some surprise: "You want to deal with your senior brother?"
Zhang Xiu stared at the snake demon with a bewitching smile on his face: "Eighteen hundred years of demon elixir, if it were you, wouldn't you be tempted at all?"
The snake demon's eyes suddenly turned into a pair of vertical pupils, and he pinched his orchid fingers enchantingly and chuckled: "You are so bad, but I like it~"
Amid laughter, Mrs. Xin walked up the stairs and was stunned when he saw Zhang Xiu and the snake demon sitting together.
"Ah, it's better to come early than to come by chance!"
Zhang Xiu spotted him with sharp eyes, stood up with a smile on his face, and introduced to the snake demon: "Madam, this is my senior brother. Senior brother has practiced with me for eight hundred years and has taken good care of me. It's me who My brothers and sisters, my beloved relatives and friends!”
Then he turned to look at Old Mrs. Xin and said, "Senior brother, this is my wife... uh, madam, what's your surname?"
Snake demon: "..."
Mr. Xin: "!!!"
Good guy, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Mr. Zhang is actually involved in the business of abducting monsters? !
If I had come a little later, this snake demon would have even dug out the snake gall and sold it!
After an awkward silence, the snake demon stood up with a forced smile and saluted Mr. Xin: "Qing Ling has met senior brother."
Mr. Xin recovered from the shock, nodded with a forced smile, pressed his hands and said, "No need to be polite, uh, brothers and sisters, please sit down."
With that said, the three of them took their seats one after another.
Zhang Xiu asked with a normal expression: "Senior brother, what news did you find out after you've been out for half a day?"
Mr. Xin glanced at the snake monster and saw that Zhang Xiu had no expression, so he said: "These monsters come to Huainan for the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures. I also found out that people with Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures will appear in Jinji Ridge today. There are already some little demons who have formed a gang and went to Jinji Ridge in advance to ambush."
Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "In this case, we should make some preparations in advance. Madam, you go home and wait. My senior brother and I will go find you later."
The snake demon glanced at Zhang Xiu and said reluctantly, "Mr., please be more careful." After saying that, he stood up and walked downstairs.
When the snake demon walked away, Zhang Xiu let out a sigh of relief and pulled off his clothes, only to find that the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat and became cold.
Mr. Xin asked with a confused look on his face: "Mr. Zhang, why did you get together with the snake demon?"
Zhang Xiu said depressedly: "It's unlucky. I didn't offend anyone, and I met her on the street. Fortunately, she mistook me for her kind, and even wanted to drag me to stay and fly together." …”
Old Mrs. Xin burst into laughter and said with a smile: "You are probably contaminated by her demonic aura, which attracted her here. Once the demonic aura on you dissipates, you should be fine."
Zhang Xiu hummed, and then said: "This thing about Qiqiao Exquisite Heart is a bit weird. I feel like it is a trap. Someone is secretly manipulating it to deliberately lure these monsters to Jinji Ridge."
Mr. Xin thought for a moment, raised his face and said, "No matter whether someone is behind it or not, the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart is indeed true. After I inquired about the news, I went to the Guanyin Temple to ask for a fortune, which confirmed the matter.
If the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures is eaten by an evil spirit, it will definitely give birth to a ferocious monster that will cause harm to the world. We must find the person with the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures in advance and send him away safely to avoid inestimable consequences. "
Zhang Xiu was slightly surprised for a moment and asked: "Is there anything different about a person with seven orifices and an exquisite heart? Otherwise, looking for one person in this vast sea of people would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Mr. Xin nodded and said: "The heart is the spiritual seedling of all things and the root of the changes in the four phenomena. People with seven exquisite hearts are generally born with intelligence and unparalleled abilities, and they will show amazing talents when they are young, full of poems and books. matchless."
"Mr. Zhang, you are a scholar. Do you know how many of these talented people in the world meet these conditions?"
Zhang Xiu frowned and carefully recalled the more famous talents in his mind. After a moment, his expression suddenly became strange: "Old man, how come the person you described sounds more and more like me?"
Mr. Xin: "@#¥%¥#@......"
After a period of silence, Mr. Xin showed a kind smile and chuckled: "Forget it if you can't remember it. Let's think of other ways!"
"..."
Looking at Mr. Xin with a kind smile on his face, Zhang Xiu's eyes gradually became unkind.
