Chapter 228 Xiaoqing: Master Liansheng, do you like it?
The entire body is clear emerald green without a trace of other colors, as if it was carved from a whole piece of fine jade.
Bamboo leaves are green.
Xiaoqing's original form before becoming a demon should have been this kind of highly poisonous snake.
"No need to hide, come out."
Pinggong Qianye smiled and whispered. Soon, Xiaoqing, hearing the noise, crawled out of the tree hole, quietly poked her head out, and looked around through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Seeing that the person coming was indeed Pinggong Qianye, her amber snake pupils revealed joy, and her body gushed out of the tree hole like a pool of green lake and swam to Pinggong Qianye's feet.
"Master Liansheng, are you here specifically to save me?"
"Shan Tong asked someone to call me and told me that you were in danger."
Pinggong Qianye squatted down, stretched out his palm, and let Xiaoqing climb onto his palm.
Xiaoqing rubbed it with her head first, then climbed onto the palm and coiled her body quite gracefully.
"A terrifying creature has entered the forest, searching for something everywhere, causing unrest in the entire forest."
"Sister Bai always likes to join in the fun, so she followed over to check it out, and then she was attacked by that creature."
"The magic frog protected us and left us alone. Sister Bai and I were forced to separate."
Xiaoqing gave a brief account of the whole incident.
"What kind of creature is that?"
"He looks human, but inside he has become something horrible."
Xiao Qing said, shaking her little head slightly, "He seems to be able to control the void. This is how Sister Bai and I were separated."
Control the void?
Pinggong Qianye had only encountered one monster that could merge into the void. That was when he was fighting the giant toad and using the Toad God Demon Pill to fish. He caught a monster that could merge into the void.
Any existence that can master the power of the void is very scary, or at least difficult to target.
"Why did he attack you?"
As soon as Pinggong Qianye raised this question, Xiaoqing's eyes instantly became watery, as if filled with tears, "He, he wants to pull out my teeth..."
This turned out to be the reason. Ping Gong Qianye smiled and said, "Come, let me see."
Xiaoqing cooperated and opened her mouth. Her head was not big, and the two fangs on her upper jaw were obviously much smaller than those of other snakes.
They look like two little baby teeth of a child, very cute.
Pinggong Qianye stretched out his finger, probed gently, and touched the two fangs.
The pointed fangs are so sharp that you can feel them when you touch them, and a gentle bite will go deep into the flesh.
In just that instant, Xiaoqing's entire body went limp, and her eyes, filled with both shyness and joy, stared at the monk in front of her with infinite tenderness.
After checking for a while, Pinggong Qianye withdrew his fingers.
It would be more accurate to say that the man wanted Xiaoqing's venom rather than her teeth.
Xiaoqing, who was slowly recovering, twisted her body slightly and said rather plaintively: "He said that I must be very poisonous because I am so beautiful."
"What kind of perverse logic is this? I'm pretty and kind, how can I be evil?"
"I've become a demon, and I don't like fighting. I'm just pretty. Is it a sin to be pretty?"
Xiaoqing complained a lot, but Pinggong Qianye discovered that she actually cared a lot about and liked the comment that she was beautiful.
"Master Liansheng, do you also think I am beautiful?"
"Of course you are beautiful. You are the most beautiful snake I have ever met."
"Really?" Xiao Qing twisted her body happily, her tail sweeping back and forth uncontrollably, but she didn't want to show her joy too much and seemed a little coy.
"real."
"Master Liansheng, do you like it?"
Xiaoqing stared at the handsome monk in front of her with her beautiful snake eyes. She felt that her cold body was emitting a heat.
It was like a pot of cold water being roasted by firewood. It changed from being cold to being warm, and finally almost boiling.
"You."
Pinggong Qianye chuckled and shook his head, stretched out his finger, gently tapped Xiaoqing's head, then stood up and took her to look for the missing mountain rabbit.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Xiao Qing, there are many kinds of liking things, such as loving things, loving people, loving friends, loving relatives, etc."
"If you like it, then you like it. Why do you have to divide it into so many categories?"
"Because people are complex, the words they create are becoming more and more complex."
Pinggong Qianye paused and said with a smile, "For example, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, what do you think these words represent?"
"A sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick."
"This is only the most superficial meaning of the words. In human society, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick have other opposite meanings."
"With such complicated words, can you humans tell the difference?"
"It's hard."
"Then why do you humans make speech so complicated? Each word has one meaning, so there won't be confusion."
“That’s a good question.”
Along the way, Pinggong Qianye explained to Xiaoqing a lot of things about the human world.
This makes me feel like I am the teacher in class, and Xiaoqing is the diligent and inquisitive student.
He often says things that make people laugh and cry, and sometimes he also says things that make people think.
On the way, they encountered many little monsters who were intelligent but could not speak.
They seemed to have their own language that was unique to the monsters, and only Xiaoqing could converse with them fluently.
During the conversation with these little monsters, we learned that the terrible creature had left the nearby mountains and forests and went to other places.
One of the ginseng plants buried deep in the ground quietly popped its head out and told Xiaoqing the news it had overheard.
Xiao Qing translated it briefly and said, "When that person was talking to himself, he mentioned that he wanted to collect some extremely poisonous things in order to make something terrible, and he also mentioned Tokyo."
Is that Shirakawa Ming?
Pinggong Qianye thought for a moment and then locked onto Baichuan Ming.
Although he has not yet mastered the ability to see destiny, it can sometimes trigger some special feelings.
Moreover, Akechi Mitsuhide once told him that Shirakawa Meiru suddenly left Tokyo and his whereabouts were unknown, and Shirakawa Meiru once said that he wanted to destroy Tokyo.
It seems that he is not a cruel and brutal person. Last time he let Monk Mingbai go, and this time he also let Shantu and Xiaoqing go.
Otherwise, with his ability to control the void, it would not be difficult for him to catch Mountain Rabbit and Xiaoqing.
He is like a ghost walking in the world with an empty heart, who needs to rely on some things to maintain his sense of existence.
Destroying Tokyo may be his long-term goal.
In a sense, he is the evolved version of Mitsuhide Akechi. He needs to find something to do so that his mind will not be too empty and affect himself.
Xiaoqing asked many little monsters who already had some intelligence, and only with the reminder of a sparrow flying in the air did she know the approximate direction of the mountain rabbit.
Finally, Pinggong Chiye followed the scent on the grass ball and found the mountain rabbit in a nest of wild rabbits.
"..."
Pinggong Qianye looked at the nest of shivering wild rabbits from afar and tried his best to hold back his laughter.
Xiaoqing on my shoulder laughed so hard that she fell down, twisting her body back and forth, trying her best not to laugh.
I saw that among a nest of all gray-brown wild rabbits, there was a little rabbit with pink fur, which was particularly conspicuous.
Next to the rabbit hole, there were two wild boars digging the ground.
