The Portal of Wonderland

Seeing Chongwu's huge figure gradually disappearing into the lake, Shi Mu couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

He pondered for a while, just as he was thinking whether to wake up the child, the eyelashes of the child in front of him trembled, and he woke up slowly.

Wake up, wake up! Shit, look quickly, this little guy is awake! Cai'er jumped up and down on Shi Mu's shoulder, shouting excitedly.

I saw it, I don't need you to remind me. Shi Mu gave Cai'er a helpless look, and said.

Cai'er, on the other hand, was very excited. She flapped her wings and flew in front of the little boy, and said, Little brother, you look so cute. How did you come here? Do you want me to take you home? ...By the way, the thing in your arms looks very troublesome, do you want me to keep it for you?

Uh... Cai'er, be more honest... Seeing this, Shi Mu was speechless for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled it back, throwing it on his shoulder.

Oh, stone, what are you doing, it hurts! Cai'er shouted.

But the toddler didn't speak, with a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his white and tender arms like lotus roots, and sat up from the golden lotus, with a pair of dark eyes, which looked full of aura, on Shi Mu and Cai'er. Look back and forth.

A moment later, he suddenly raised his hands, held the golden lotus seeds in his arms, and handed them to Shi Mu.

Is this... for me? Shi Mu was slightly taken aback.

The young boy still didn't speak, but his face seemed to be smiling brighter.

Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, but reached out and took the golden lotus seeds.

I saw that golden lotus seed, only the size of a baby's fist, the whole body is round, and there are some fine diamond-shaped patterns all over it, but it doesn't seem to be carved by man, but it seems to be made naturally.

In addition to the strong metallic original force, there are faint streaks of sharp aura mixed in.

Shitou, look at the Tianlianxin from earlier, I kept it for you all the time, see if you can... Caier shouted hastily.

Seeing his mouth watering, Shi Mu shook his head helplessly, and with a casual throw, a golden light flew out of his palm immediately.

Cai'er was overjoyed when she saw this, she flapped her wings, and immediately flew over, swallowed the golden light with her mouth, and swallowed it without much chewing.

Then, it flew back to Shi Mu's shoulder, smashed it, and said with some dissatisfaction: This golden lotus seed looks so pure in spiritual power, it's just average after eating it, it's not as good as my own. Some spiritual materials I found taste good.

In fact, he didn't know that what Shi Mu threw out was just a top-grade metal spirit stone, and the real golden lotus seeds had already been put into the storage ring by him calmly.

You rascal, you always eat jujubes whole, how can you taste the taste, some are picky? Shi Mu scolded with a smile.

It's not that Shi Mu is stingy and refuses to give the golden lotus seeds to Cai'er to eat, but the golden lotus seeds are the origin of the metal, and they are the key to Shi Mu's cultivation of the Nine Turns Mysterious Art, so it is really impossible for Cai'er to eat them .

Shi Mu could only decide to use it to make up for Caier when he got some other high-quality spiritual material in the future.

Seeing that Shi Mu accepted the golden lotus seeds, the young boy smiled even more, he opened his two small hands, and stretched out his two white and tender forearms like lotus root segments, as if signaling Shi Mu to pick him up.

The behavior of this young child is really unusual, Shi Mu is really a little unpredictable.

But judging from the current situation, this little guy didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and hugged him, and put him on the lotus leaf beside him.

What's your name? Who are you? Shi Mu stared into the boy's eyes and asked seriously.

The young boy just smiled slightly, and looked at Shi Mu with a pair of black and clear eyes, without the slightest dodge, but also without the slightest intention to speak.

Originally, if the boy's eyes were averted, Shi Mu could at least know that he was hiding something from him, but it happened to be a naive look that could not understand the words at all, which made Shi Mu a little at a loss as to what to do.

Then why did you appear in this green lotus? What relationship do you have with Patriarch Baiyuan? Shi Mu continued to ask.

The toddler listened, but just continued to smile slightly, as if he didn't understand, and didn't respond at all.

Cai'er flew down from Shi Mu's shoulder, and flew around the toddler, giggling, and said, Shitou, you've been messing around for a long time, this is a fool.

After hearing this, Shi Mu raised his hand and gave Caier a chestnut.

Hey, Shitou, why did you hit me? He doesn't say anything, and he doesn't blame me. Cai'er cried out feeling aggrieved.

Seeing this scene, the toddler actually puchi and burst out laughing.

Good you little brat, so you're not stupid, you actually deliberately watched Caiye's jokes, to see that Caiye didn't punish you. Cai'er danced her wings and shouted angrily.

Cai'er, don't mess around. Shi Mu reprimanded in a low voice.

Okay, I don't care, I'll give you a stone!

Cai'er didn't really bother with a child, after being told by Shi Mu, she flapped her wings and landed on the lotus leaf beside her, looking at her reflection in the pool. .

Shi Mu asked patiently for a long time, but no matter what he asked, the young boy either responded with a blank face, or smiled a few times, but still couldn't ask anything.

Seeing this, Shi Mu could only choose to give up in the end.

He reached out and stroked the young boy's head, stood up, sighed softly, and looked around.

Cai'er, we've been wasting a lot of time here, let's go back to the Qinglan Holy Land. Shi Mu glanced at Cai'er who was not far away, and said.

Cai'er, who was staring at the water with self-pity at the edge of the lotus leaf, immediately responded when she heard this, Okay, I've been away for so long, and I miss that fat guy Qi Feng. By the way, Shitou, our new cave Is there a spiritual spring? I still want to catch the spirit of the spiritual spring or something.

There is no spiritual spring. There are some spiritual waterfalls, but if there is any spirit, you have to go back and find it yourself. Shi Mu replied.

Hey, leave it to me! By the way, what are you going to do with this little guy? Cai'er fluttered her wings a few times and landed on Shi Mu's shoulders. side, asked in a low voice.

This child was born leaning on the lotus in the heavenly lotus pond occupied by monsters. The origin is not simple. Since it was transformed from the seed given by the ancestor of the white ape, it should be inseparable from it. I think it's better to stay here for now. Chongwu and the others won't sit idly by, let's come again when they grow up a bit later. Shi Mu said after pondering for a while.

After Shi Mu finished speaking, he took Cai'er to turn to the direction he came from, and flew away through the air.

As a result, just as he turned around, the toddler suddenly followed up and hugged his calf.

Shi Mu turned his head to look at him, and saw that the boy's arms were tightly wrapped around his calves, and he refused to let go. His heart moved, and he asked, Why, do you want to follow me?

The toddler still didn't speak, but this time he seemed to understand it, and nodded emphatically, the smile on his little face faded a bit, and he looked more solemn.

To be honest, my side is very dangerous now. If you follow me, you will also be in danger. If you stay here, Chongwu and the others will take care of you. Shi Mu shook his head and said.

After hearing this, the young boy shook his head more resolutely, and the hand holding Shi Mu's calf tightened a bit.

Shitou, I think this little guy is quite pitiful, why don't we take him with us! After all, we also took things from him. Cai'er said.

Also.

Shi Mu felt a little helpless, so he leaned over and picked him up, planning to take him back and put him in his cave first.

With a wave of his palm, the Dragon Feather Speeding Car appeared on the pool with a flash of brilliance.

Shi Mu jumped onto the flying car, put the child on the flying car, took out several spirit stones and embedded them in the disc at the front of the flying car, a golden light flashed on the flying car, and a cluster of light curtains emerged, covering the whole The body is wrapped in.

There was a flash of light on the Dragon Feather Speeding Vehicle, and it sped away beyond the sea of ​​fog.

Although Cai'er has lived for more than a hundred years, or even longer, she still has a child's heart. She was quite dissatisfied with this young child before, but after going back and forth, she quickly reconciled with him.

Along the way, it doesn't matter whether the young children understand or not, but they just chatter non-stop.

The toddler played well with Cai'er, although he still didn't speak, judging from the occasional laughter, he was obviously very happy.

Cai'er didn't come to make trouble for Shi Mu, which really let him relax a lot, and concentrate on controlling the flying car to fly in the sea of ​​fog.

A moment later, after the speeding car flew out of the sea of ​​fog, its surface was more radiant, and its speed soared again. With a whistling sound, it gradually rose into the sky, and flew out of the hidden lotus star.

...

Dongshengxing, the main hall of Qinglan Holy Land.

The main hall is deep and dark, but inside it is brightly lit.

On the main seat facing the gate of the palace, sat an old man with white eyebrows cross-legged, with his eyebrows drooping and his eyes looking straight ahead, but he was the master of Qinglan Holy Land, Master Su Sheng.

On the left and right sides of where he sits, there are four red sandalwood chairs side by side. Yue Hufa, who is in charge of the Discipline Hall, Elder Nangong, who is good at alchemy, Lotus Fairy, and Guan Shanhai sit next to each other on the left, while the four chairs on the right The chairs were all empty, no one sat down.

Below it, there are more than 20 carved sandalwood chairs along the two sides of the main hall, which are full of people.

Among these people, apart from the holy elders of Qinglan Holy Land, there are also several holy-name disciples of Qinglan Holy Land.

Their cultivation is only slightly lower than the eight guardians.

However, there were three people sitting on the three chairs closest to the Eight Great Elders, and they were not wearing Qinglan costumes, but Li Chenzong Taoist robes.

The leader of the three was wearing a purple Taoist robe, with short purple beards protruding from his face like steel needles, exuding a fierce aura all over his body.

If Shi Mu was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this person is one of the eight temples of the Lichen sect, the master of the Zhenlei temple, Ji Wentian.

The two people sitting in the lower seat are also of the holy rank. One of them has three long beards falling down on his chest, looking like a fairy, while the other has a bow beard and a slightly dirty Taoist robe, which looks a bit sloppy . (To be continued.)
