"Meow..." Huang Xiu'e gestured to Jiang Lu and told him how hard it was for her to find the place.
Listening to her story, Jiang Lu sometimes smiled, sometimes worried, and sometimes distressed. Only after listening to the end did he let out a long sigh of relief and asked the others: "Did anyone understand? What is she saying?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"Ah, you pretended so seriously that I thought you really understood..." Dong Wanggong complained.
"You don't understand. All we need to communicate is a glance." Jiang Lu lifted Huang Xiu'e and shook her: "Don't you think so?"
"Meow!"
"Did you just say 'your mother'?" Jiang Lu asked.
"You understand now, don't you?!"
"Anyway." Jiang Lu changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Although I don't know how she found me here, I believe you have seen that I didn't lie to you before. She can indeed travel through space at will. And it's not just Yuanshi Tianzun's magical power. She can even travel through the spiritual realm and our real world."
"Yes." Scythe nodded: "I suspected it was the cat you carried with you on Mount Gaishi."
"In that case, can we let it take us out first?" asked Xuannv.
"Of course." Jiang Lu put Huang Xiu'e on the ground and pinched her tail: "E'e, it's up to you."
Huang Xiu'e understood Jiang Lu's meaning and suddenly grew bigger, revealing her true form as a cat-bug.
"So it's a cat-and-mouse bug." Queen Mother Xi was well-informed and suddenly realized, "You really have a connection with this species. There are cat-and-mouse bugs around you at all times."
"Of course not." Jiang Lu puffed out his chest proudly, and then asked, "Who goes first?"
"What, who comes first?"
"Go in." Jiang Lu spread his hands helplessly: "We can only hide in its belly, otherwise it won't be able to take us out."
"Uh...will this really be okay?" Xuannv said with some disgust.
It can be said that as cute and lovable as Huang Xiu'e's golden tabby appearance just now, she now looks as ferocious and terrifying.
Perhaps only Jiang Lu would find this twisted and extremely ferocious beast cute.
"It's okay, it's safe. Let me show you." Jiang Lu said, raising his hand to Huang Xiu'e: "Open your mouth!"
Huang Xiu'e opened her bloody mouth, and between her lips and teeth, the sharp teeth were intertwined, like a forest of the sharpest swords. The sharp tips of the teeth flashed with cold light, as if they could even cut through the soul.
Looking inside, it was pitch black like an abyss, and one could not help but feel the fear spreading in one's heart, as if the gates of hell had opened, with eerie white light flickering in the bottomless darkness.
Then, Jiang Lu stood directly next to its mouth and put half of his body in.
"Look, it's very peaceful..."
Click!
Huang Xiu'e closed her mouth, and when she opened it again, there was a row of big holes on Jiang Lu's body.
"Oh, you little brat." Jiang Lu wiped the lotus root water off his face and scolded, "Although it's my fault that I forgot to tell you that I don't have the healing power now and can't play like this, but you can't be so excessive. If I hadn't turned into a lotus root, wouldn't you have bitten me to death? Then you will regret it and have no place to cry."
"Woo~" Huang Xiu'e then realized that Jiang Lu could not recover immediately, and immediately began to whimper like a child who had done something wrong.
"What's going on with this strange warmth..." The performer quivered and complained, "Isn't that how you guys usually get along?"
"Okay." Jiang Lu patted Huang Xiu'e's tongue full of sharp barbs and said to everyone, "Safe!"
Although they felt even more unsure after watching the demonstration, with Xiwangmu and Hong Yi, two people who absolutely believed in Jiang Lu, taking the lead, the others still reluctantly got into Huang Xiu'e's belly.
After Jiang Lu was the last one to go in, Huang Xiu'e closed her mouth and jumped with all her might.
Boom!
Huang Xiu'e, in the form of a cat-worm, came out of the glass ball and directly stepped on the cabin, collapsing it.
"Meow!" Huang Xiu'e screamed towards the sky, causing the forest to tremble.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun in the ruins still did not respond.
But Taoist Yuzhu and his two disciples who were still watching from a distance were the first to see it because they were always looking towards the wooden house.
Taoist Yuzhu slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I said there must be something incredible here!"
Chapter 371 Your Parents Don’t Want You Anymore
Huang Xiu'e stood on the ruins, and her roar, more ferocious than a tiger's, caused the fallen leaves to fly everywhere.
Cat head, spider legs. From the moment it appeared, the environment became gloomy and mysterious, and the surroundings were filled with thick fog. Its existence itself seemed to be a curse to the world.
A pair of deep green eyes seemed to be able to peek into the depths of a person's soul, and the golden fur sparkled brightly in the dim light.
Eight slender legs moved slowly in a strange rhythm. Each leg was covered with tiny and hard golden bristles, ending in claws as sharp as needles.
Even the wooden house and the abandoned fields were turned upside down by it. As for the spirit tablets of Pangu the Great and Taiyuan Holy Mother, they were nowhere to be found.
Yuanshi Tianzun was buried in the ruins, with only half of his head exposed, but his eyes were still closed, his face was peaceful, as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.
"It's... too fierce!" Taoist Yuzhu couldn't figure out Huang Xiu'e's background, and his expression was somewhat solemn: "I have never seen such a fierce beast, and I don't know where it came from."
"That kitten..." Zhu Zhen asked timidly.
Taoist Yuzhu sighed: "Most likely it's gone."
"But I still haven't seen the ancestors?" Lu Qing looked around and finally found Yuanshi Tianzun in the ruins: "Wait, there seems to be a young man there."
Looking in the direction she pointed, Taoist Yuzhu also saw him.
But when she saw his appearance clearly, she was shocked: "This...this is..."
"Who is this?"
"Is this... Yuanshi Tianzun?" Taoist Yuzhu was shocked.
“But doesn’t the Yuanshi Tianzun in the portrait look like an old Taoist priest with a white beard?” Zhu Zhen shook his head. “And he looks just like an ordinary person, with no spiritual power fluctuations at all.”
"No, Tianzun's image is not fixed. He has three different faces: young, middle-aged, and old."
Taoist Yuzhu explained:
“Although everyone who has seen him will not be able to remember what he looked like afterwards, and the image of him in their memory will become a blur, I will never forget this kind of temperament in my life.
It seems that there is no fluctuation of spiritual energy in him, but in fact it is because he has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and he himself has become a part of the law.
That's why he was able to restrain all his aura and blend into one with the world. He sat there, as ordinary as a stone. Perhaps you would not notice him if you walked past him. If your senior sister had not noticed him just now, I might have found it difficult to find him there.
This is an extremely high state of mind. I am deeply impressed by it. I was fortunate enough to have seen the Heavenly Venerable at the Yaochi Festival of the Patriarch. I am sure he is right!"
Lu Qingshen nodded in agreement: "If I hadn't looked over it inch by inch, and then realized that the collapse of a certain place didn't make sense, as if something was missing, and looked carefully for a long time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found him."
"Yes, it's this feeling that makes me subconsciously ignore him."
Taoist Yuzhu said with a little awe:
"It's like seeing a flag flying alone. When you realize that it can't fly without a flagpole, you will find the flagpole under the flag. It's such a strange feeling."
"But didn't we come here to follow Jiang Lu? Why is the old man Tianzun here?" Lu Qing was puzzled.
"Yeah...that doesn't make sense."
Taoist Yuzhu was also a little confused:
"The fact that we have followed the clues and found this place means that he must be related to the disappearance of the ancestors.
But even though he does have the great magical power to move the entire Kunlun Mountain, why would he do this? He has almost no contact with our ancestor, and they are both powerful beings in the fairy world, so there should be no hatred between them. "
"None of this is important. The key is where are the ancestors?"
"I don't know..." Taoist Yuzhu had no clue at all and speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with the ferocious beast he raised?"
"He raised this beast?"
"probably."
Taoist Yuzhu nodded:
“Although I have never heard of or seen it, but look, it has even torn down the house, but Tianzun is still calm and composed. It can be seen that he is very doting and indulgent towards it. Otherwise, how could he just ignore it?
Even if she wasn't his pet, I think there must be some kind of close relationship between them."
"Makes sense."
They agree with this statement.
The reason why the Three Pure Realms are called the Three Pure Realms and why Yuanshi Tianzun occupies a dominant position among the Three Pure Realms are all manifestations of his status in this world.
What could possibly move him?
Even if she wasn't relying on his preference, she must have some kind of inseparable connection with him.
"Could it be that it ate Kunlun Mountain..."
Before Lu Qing could finish his words, he saw the ferocious beast on the ruins suddenly open its mouth as big as the abyss, and then spit out several people.
"...?"
Lu Qing uttered the last word, and then showed a surprised expression: "It's Jiang Lu and the others!"
"Ancestor!" Taoist Yuzhu clenched his fists excitedly.
But she remembered something and her expression immediately became serious again.
“If it was really eaten by a ferocious beast, then this ferocious beast might…” Although he said a ferocious beast, his eyes were looking at Yuanshi Tianzun.
Whether it was the ancient beast that had the ability to eat the Queen Mother of the West, or Yuanshi Tianzun who had an ambiguous attitude towards this, all of them made him feel terrified when he thought about it carefully.
On the other side, Jiang Lu and others who had just landed didn’t understand the current situation.
It took less than a minute to appear directly from the snowy mountains into an unfamiliar forest. It was really too shocking.
But they still remembered that they were captured by Yuanshi Tianzun. The first thing they did was to subconsciously keep motionless in the position they were in when they landed and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Turning his head and taking a few glances, Jiang Lu discovered that there were only broken walls and ruins behind him. He couldn't tell what the original appearance of the building was. In short, they were all destroyed by Huang Xiu'e who revealed her true appearance.
It seems that Yuanshi Tianzun is not here, otherwise the real person who caused such a big commotion would have appeared long ago.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't notice was that Yuanshi Tianzun was actually sitting not far from him. Even his eyes had passed over him several times, but he just didn't see him.
This is true for him and for everyone else.
Perhaps only Queen Mother of the West and Hong Yi felt that something was strange, but like Jiang Lu, they had preconceived ideas like "If he was there, how could Huang Xiu'e be so presumptuous", so they ultimately failed to find him.
