Chapter 55: Going to meet an old friend
The Demon Lord raised his hand to take the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp. He turned it upside down provocatively and then coldly said, "If he doesn't leave, I'll leave."
Jian Lin was dumbfounded, "Master Demon Lord, where are you going?"
"Guanlan Sect, go and do business." Demon Lord nailed the bamboo branch into the wall again, turned around and strode away, leaving only one sentence, "You two, let's play together, please forgive me for not accompanying you."
"Wait!" Jian Lin threw the medicine bowl to Xie Jin and hurriedly chased after him, "Master Demon Lord, I am loyal to you, don't abandon me!"
Xie Jin held the medicine bowl and was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand to pick up the hem of his robe and followed after him, "Lord Demon Lord, I'll go with you!"
Demon Lord always does things neatly. He said he was going to Guanlan Sect and would set off that night.
This time, Jian Lin had experience. He rushed back to the side hall and packed up his clothes, jewelry, Tao Niang's favorite story books, various odds and ends, etc.
Panting, she ran back to the Demon Lord's study, and happened to bump into Xie Jin, who was also panting.
The two looked at each other and smiled, deciding to follow the Demon Lord closely from now on, for fear that the Demon Lord would leave them alone.
After knocking on the door and entering the study, they found that the Demon Lord was not there. The two of them were so excited that they immediately ran back and went straight to the Demon Lord's bedroom.
Fortunately, before they went in, they heard the nagging voice of the chief manager, and the two of them were completely relieved.
The two pushed the door open and went in, rashly and stumbled. The Demon Lord glared at them with disgust and said displeasedly, "There are no rules, why are you making a fuss?"
Jian Lin was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that the Demon Lord in front of him was the real Demon Lord.
It turned out that the Demon Lord was changing his clothes. He took off his black robes and replaced them with ordinary light-colored coarse sermon robes.
It's like a high-ranking big shot who suddenly changes his personality and wants to visit privately incognito. That kind of reverse charm is really attractive.
The chief manager found another piece and said, "Hey, Lord Demon Lord, please hurry up. These are all old clothes. If you don't wait for another day, I will send someone to make a few new sets."
"No need, old clothes are best." Demon Lord put on a black belt and an off-white and yellowish coarse cloth robe, looking at the bronze mirror, "This is good, like a casual cultivator who has achieved nothing.
.”
Jian Lin disagreed. The coarse linen clothes could not hide his air of demeanor. One look at the Demon Lord and he knew that he was a strong man and a big shot.
"Jian Musheng, please change," the Demon Lord tilted his head and showed a critical look, "This time is not like going to the demon world. People's hearts are unpredictable. Let's be careful and pretend to be casual cultivators. Don't wear such nice clothes."
Jian Lin nodded in agreement and immediately went back to change clothes.
Seeing that the Demon Lord ignored him, Xie Jin proactively said, "Then I'll pretend to be the Demon Lord's servant. I'm really good at this!"
"Xie Jin," Demon Lord stopped him and said seriously, "You don't have to. After leaving Demon Sect, we parted ways, and you have more important things to do."
Xie Jin also put away his joking expression, his eyes filled with sadness, "Demon Lord, I...I want to follow you."
Demon Lord raised his arm, held Xie Jin's shoulders tightly, and said softly, "Xie Jin, you are smart, smart, and prudent. You are a right protector who can act independently. It's unfair for you to be a servant by my side. Demon Sect needs you more."
.”
"I..." Xie Jin's eyes flashed and he said aggrievedly, "Lord Demon Lord, we grew up together, and I was originally your servant."
"No, you are my brother," Demon Lord patted Xie Jin on the shoulder and suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you dare to cry, I will throw you out directly."
Xie Jin held back his tears, gasped, and after some struggle, he said angrily, "Master Demon Lord, then you have to promise me one thing. Next time you get hurt, don't show off, and you must inform me as soon as possible."
The corners of Demon Lord's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of endearment in his tone, "Okay, I promise you, I will!"
Xie Jin felt a little better now. His expression softened and he showed a relieved smile. Forget it, just leave. He was used to it after so many years.
There are two protectors of the Demon Sect, the left protector is in the light and the right protector is in the dark.
Xie Jin spends most of his time incognito, acting alone, enduring endless isolation and loneliness, but for the sake of the Demon Lord, he is willing to endure it.
As night fell, the three of them quietly left the Demon Palace in the darkness.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, they switched to riding horses. After two hours of riding, they reached a ferry and were about to part ways again.
Demon Lord and Jian Lin went south to leave the Demon Realm, while Xie Jin wanted to stay in the Demon Realm to complete the mission.
Although they only got along for a few days, Jian Lin had already regarded Xie Jin as a friend. At this time, he felt reluctant to let go and secretly gave him a bamboo tube.
This is the unique contact method of the Demon Sect. Put the letter paper into the bamboo tube and use the magic breath to activate it, and the message can be sent to the other bamboo tube.
As for how much he can send, it all depends on his personal ability. As powerful as the Demon Lord, he can send it to the entire Demon Sect at will.
Jian Lin, who has just started learning, can only use a specific twin tube to transmit, which is the simplest primary version.
Jian Lin shook the bamboo tube in her hand and said to Xie Jin, "Mr. Xie, I have news for you. You must keep my twin tubes carefully and don't lose them."
Xie Jin showed an understanding smile and said, "I understand. I'm waiting for the good news from Miss Ngabo."
The Demon Lord stood on the bow of the boat, urging ruthlessly, "Okay, hurry up!"
Jian Lin smiled at Xie Jin, turned around and quickly got on the boat. The ferryman pushed the oars, and the boat turned around and went downstream. She waved fiercely at the shore, unwilling to stop until she was sore.
"Okay, it's so dark, he can't be seen long ago." Demon Lord said lightly, but he still stood on the bow of the boat, looking back in the direction of the ferry, unwilling to look away for a long time.
It wasn't until the fog began to form on the river in the middle of the night that the two of them got into the canopy of the boat, swaying around and meditating to rest.
Jian Lin seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. She didn't know why, but her mind was filled with the shadow of the Demon Lord wearing a light-colored Taoist robe. She always felt very familiar, friendly, and fond of him.
Suddenly, the boat swayed, and Jian Lin woke up, just in time to see the Demon Lord sitting opposite, with his hair in an ordinary loose bun, adding a bit of bohemianness.
Jian Lin wondered, wasn't this the Demon Lord? How could he seduce her so much just by changing his clothes? Did she prefer white clothes? She didn't even know she had this hobby!
How strange!
The night passed quickly. In the morning, the sun passed through the thick fog and shed a bluish-white light. The air was particularly biting and cold. Jian Lin stepped out of the boat canopy, stretched out his arms and took a deep breath, and found that they were drifting along a mountain stream.
Looking up, the mountain walls on both sides were smooth, as if cut by a knife. The top of the mountain was rugged with strange rocks and the scenery was beautiful. Jian Lin was stunned for a moment. The natural scenery was so beautiful.
The fog gradually dissipated, and the Demon King came out and stood on the bow of the boat with her. Suddenly he turned around and said to the boatman, "Sir, there is a shoal ahead. You stay there for a while, and we go out to do something."
The old man wearing a bamboo hat nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and continued to paddle the boat without stopping.
Jian Lin asked curiously, "Why, where are we going?"
"I'm going to visit an old friend," Demon Lord clasped his hands behind his back and told her sideways, "Don't talk nonsense then. This old friend of mine pays great attention to rules. If he gets angry, I won't be able to stop him."
Jian Lin didn't believe it and thought the Demon Lord was trying to scare her, but she still agreed obediently and told her not to talk nonsense. It was right after all.
We soon arrived at the shoal, which was covered with small, smooth stones. When you step on them, they will make a crisp sound, like stepping on fallen leaves, which is particularly pleasant and pleasant.
Before Jian Lin had enough of stepping on it, the Demon Lord didn't even say hello. He directly put his arms around Jian Lin's waist and led her to step on the cliffs and fly to the top of the mountain.
Before Jian Lin could react, he had already reached the top of the mountain. Looking down, he saw a huge basin, which was covered by a dense jungle. The trees were extremely prosperous and crowded together, like a huge broccoli.
The Demon Lord seemed to be looking for something, but remained silent as he jumped down the mountain with Jian Lin.
This was much more exciting than going up the mountain. Jian Lin held her breath and hugged the demon tightly. He stretched out his toes a little, stepped on the branches of the dense forest, quickly crossed the center of the basin, and landed in a corner in the southwest.
They fell straight into it, the leaves rustled, startled a bunch of birds, and finally landed steadily on the thick branches.
Jian Lin only felt that the scene in front of him changed rapidly, from water scenery, to mountain scenery, and now to the jungle scenery, in just a few moments.
"Okay, you can walk the rest of the way by yourself," Demon Lord let go of her and jumped to the next branch first. "Don't miss this good opportunity to practice Qing Gong. Follow me."
Jian Lin hesitated to speak, and finally sighed helplessly. The dog man made his own decision, but he was right, and she had no reason to refuse.
Holding her breath and concentrating, running her magic breath, and pointing her toes, Jian Lin quickly caught up with the demon king. Soon she adapted to this feeling and transformed into a human ape, Tarzan, enjoying the feeling of flying.
The more he flew, the happier he became. When the demon king braked hard, Jian Lin almost rear-ended him.
"Why did you stop suddenly?" Jian Lin slowly stood up.
"I found my old friend," Demon Lord replied softly, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Jun Huaiyin, I'm Mo Yan, I'm here to visit, long time no see."
Jian Lin looked in the direction of the Demon Lord, filled with doubts. Where is the person? Is she blind?
At this moment, a big tree in front of him made a rustling noise, its branches suddenly rose up, and a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the furrowed bark. He opened his mouth and made a low voice, "Little friend Mo Yan, long time no see.
"
Jian Lin's eyes widened in disbelief. Is this a tree man? He is so tall. He must be more than fifty meters tall!
"Who is this?" The tree man looked at Jian Lin with dark eyes.
Jian Lin immediately came to his senses, immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and said politely, "Jian Musheng, I have met Mr. Huaiyin."
"Nice to meet you," the tree man replied slowly, and suddenly raised his arm. Along with the sound of other trees breaking, a rough tree finger stretched out in front of Jian Lin, "This little friend, for some reason, you gave me a kind of
A very familiar feeling.”
Jian Lin was stunned for a moment and then thought of Tao Niang. Are they all tree demons or gods? There may be some connection between them.
She looked at the Demon Lord uncertainly and asked with her eyes, can she release Tao Niang to meet with Lord Huaiyin?
