Chapter 194 Toad Island, Goddess Cult
The flying boat slowed down. Lu Chen looked behind him and saw a figure flying towards him. With a whooshing sound, he landed on the bow of the boat and said respectfully:
"Owner!"
Lu Chen looked at the person who came up and down, and saw that this person was in ragged clothes, with long and withered hair, his face and body were dirty, and he also exuded a strange smell. He was worse than a beggar. However, Lu Chen still looked at the person's head. The cyan tentacles and dark jade wings on the back recognized the other party's identity.
Locust banshee!
"Why are you following now?"
Lu Chen frowned, and the Locust Banshee quickly lowered her head, a little scared, and explained in a low voice: "That day, the master kicked the little demon out of the flying boat. The little demon was so flustered that he couldn't react. As a result, he ended up hanging on a big tree. , broke a wing and failed to catch up with the master in time."
"Why are you chasing me again?"
"The little demon has been recovering for half a day. He came after him after smelling his master's scent. He has been staying here these days."
Lu Chen looked at the locust banshee up and down and asked:
"Have you ever eaten anything? Have you ever eaten people?"
"Never!"
The locust banshee shook her head quickly, touched her withered belly, and said aggrievedly: "The little demon has followed the master's teachings. She has not touched a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice in half a month, and she has never eaten anyone."
Lu Chen did not believe anything, he took a step forward and ordered:
"Open your mouth!"
"Ah~~"
The Locust Banshee opened her mouth. Lu Chen pinched the corners of the other person's mouth, put his fingers in, and looked through the other person's mouth carefully. He saw that the uvula was white, the teeth were white, and there was no scrap of meat in the mouth. His expression softened a little.
Just as he was about to withdraw his fingers, his fingertips were suddenly caught in the other person's mouth.
"."
Lu Chen looked strange, and the Locust Banshee said pitifully:
"Master. Hungry."
After a while, the smell of rice appeared on the bow of the boat. The beggar-like locust banshee sat next to the table and quickly plucked the rice from the bowl, one bowl after another, without stopping, eating with gusto.
Lu Chen took the opportunity to ask:
"Why do you want to come back? There is no restriction from me outside and you are free. Isn't that good?"
The locust banshee swallowed the spiritual rice in her mouth and replied:
"There's nothing to eat outside."
"Aren't there any living creatures? Fish, beasts, and even humans can eat them."
"no!"
The locust banshee continued to shake her head and said without thinking:
"It's not as delicious as Lingmi, and it's not as fragrant as Host."
Lu Chen touched his nose and muttered:
"So, you are relying on me to find a long-term meal ticket?"
"Uh-huh!"
The Locust Banshee finally finished eating. She put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped her dirty face, nodded seriously, knelt down solemnly in front of Lu Chen, and looked up at him: "Master, the little demon just wants to serve by your side. , whether it is serving tea and water, washing and cooking, making beds and warming quilts, I can do it all, I just ask the master to take me in!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
After saying that, he began to kowtow, and his dirty forehead hit the deck again and again, making a loud banging sound. Soon it was covered with blood, but his expression was firm and did not stop at all.
"Get up!"
Lu Chen sighed, stretched out his hand to help the person up, and said:
"Follow me from now on and be a servant. Well, I have to give you a name. If you are a demon, just call me [Yaoyao]. I hope that as a demon, you can be a human being!"
"What's your last name?"
"The last name is Lu!"
"Woooooo~~"
The locust banshee burst into tears of joy and knelt down respectfully again:
"Lu Yaoyao thanks the master for the gift!"
After saying that, he threw himself in front of Lu Chen, hugged his legs, and started sobbing again. He cried so hard that Lu Chen couldn't bear it. He helped him up and comforted him:
"Okay, okay, don't cry. You're so dirty and injured. Go to the cabin and wash yourself up."
"Hmm~~"
Lu Yaoyao quickly put away her tears, tore off her tattered clothes in front of Lu Shen, shook them back and forth, then turned around and said:
"Master, then... did the demon go in?"
"Go!"
"Hmm~~"
Lu Chen waved his hand and steered the flying boat to continue heading north. Lu Yaoyao nodded and tiptoed into the cabin. After a while, he poked out a dirty little head and said with a grimace:
"Master, there is no water~~"
"trouble!"
Lu Chen was a little helpless, so he walked in, stretched out his hand, and streams of water gathered in the tub. Lu Yaoyao jumped in and started to have fun.
Lu Chen looked at the other party's clumsy look and wanted to laugh, then turned and walked out.
At this time, a weak voice came from behind:
“Master, Yaoyao doesn’t know how to take a bath~~”
Lu Chen paused for a moment, turned around, and saw Lu Yaoyao standing in a bathtub that was about half a person tall, erect and graceful, her hair was covered with crystal water drops, and she was dangling in front of her. Dang away, it is really charming, charming and troublesome.
"This little goblin!"
Lu Chen sighed secretly, walked forward and asked:
"Baixue didn't teach you how to take a bath?"
"No!"
"Where are the four goblins?"
"They taught Yaoyao a lot, but they didn't teach you how to take a bath."
"What have you been taught?"
Lu Yaoyao tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied seriously: "Sister Ya taught me tongue skills, Sister Qingji taught me waist skills and dolphin skills, and Sister Qing taught me singing. Like this, woo~~ Ah~~”
"."
Lu Chen looked at Lu Yaoyao who was showing off boldly, with a speechless expression on his face, and ordered:
"Okay, sit down quickly."
"Hmm~~"
"Wow~~"
Lu Yaoyao sat down in the bathtub, and Lu Chen began to help her clean up. She was tall and tall, and could be compared to the Peacock Empress among the other girls. Her figure was also very good, even though it was not as good as Yu Linglong and Tong Xin, it was not far behind. There were too many, so Lu Momo washed them in silence, but Lu Yaoyao could not stand still, shouting:
"Here, here, uh-huh, and here!"
"Yes, that's right there!"
After replacing two buckets of water, Lu Chen had a thorough look at Yaoyao, and he did not reject him. Since he planned to keep the person, Lu Yaoyao was actually a candidate and would become one of his Taoist companions sooner or later.
It's not that Lu Chen is greedy, it's mainly because he wants to upgrade the Jade Girl Cave Mysterious Sutra.
The general trend is the general trend.
Have to do it!
However, this girl's temperament is undecided now, so she can't praise it too highly. She has to make adjustments before she can use it comfortably.
After taking a clean water bath, Lu Yaoyao, who had never seen any big scenes, fell into the tub. His hands and feet were sore and his body was weak. Lu Chen took him out.
Scrub clean and go to the inner room.
"Owner."
Lu Yaoyao huddled in Lu Chen's arms, her beautiful eyes were like water. She could almost predict the big events that were going to happen next. Her heart was full of expectation and pride, as if she saw the position of [Mother] waving to her. For a moment Somewhat dizzy.
"boom!"
Lu Chen threw the other party on the wooden bed, threw a Taoist robe on the other party, and ordered:
"Put it on yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cabin.
"."
Lu Yaoyao was almost stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He frowned, looked downcast, sighed, and tossed and turned. Finally, he cheered up and clenched his fists to encourage himself:
"Lu Yaoyao, you have to work hard!!!"
Lu Chen looked at the picture in his palm, shook his head, laughed, and murmured:
"It's true that he has a pure heart."
"I'm afraid I won't be lonely anymore!"
The Purple Jade Flying Boat went all the way north, and before noon, it flew to the Akutagawa River and appeared above Toad Island. Lu Chen stood on the bow of the boat, leaning over and looking at the small island two miles around, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and then stepped on it lightly The flying boat landed on the island, intending to stay on it for a day.
Pass through [Tibetan Mountain] and [Sea of Fog].
The purple jade flying boat slowly landed on the periphery of the island. Lu Chen jumped off the flying boat and walked step by step to a tomb overgrown with weeds.
"Wait for me~~"
Lu Yaoyao, who was wearing an ill-fitting Taoist robe, jumped off the flying boat and caught up with Lu Chen. He looked at the tombstone and said doubtfully:
"Master, whose tomb is this?"
"You can't read?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Lu Yaoyao nodding, Lu Chen explained: "This is my tomb. Hong'e erected it for me. It has been several years now and I don't want to tear it down."
Lu Yaoyao was surprised and said:
"Older than me?"
"You're only a little bit older!"
Lu Chen laughed dumbly and stretched out his hand to hit the opponent on the head. Lu Yaoyao felt the pain, covered his head and said with tears in his eyes:
"Master bullies Yaoyao~~"
Lu Chen ignored the other party's coquettishness and walked away. Lu Yaoyao quickly followed.
dance to tune.
Bounce.
From the island to the underground, from the cave to the meditation room below, Lu Chen kept walking, step by step, explaining a few words from time to time, saying that he had caught a mirage frog here, that was the place where he once practiced, and about this formation. It's called [Mist Sea Hidden Mountain Formation], and the underground one is a first-order water attribute spiritual vein.
Lu Yaoyao showed admiration and asked seemingly ridiculous questions from time to time.
The two stopped in the training quiet room. Lu Yaoyao couldn't wait to reach out and touch the spiritual spring, and said with a wry smile: "Master, there is nothing."
"of course not."
Lu Chen smiled and explained: "This water spirit vein was used when Hong'e broke through it. The spiritual energy was overdrawn. It will slowly recover in the next few decades, and it will be difficult to condense spiritual objects in a short period of time."
"Oh~~"
Lu Yaoyao seemed to understand, and asked with her little face raised:
"Master, won't you take away the spiritual veins?"
"No need!"
Lu Chen shook his head and explained: "The Mist Sea Hidden Mountain Formation still needs this spiritual vein to support its operation. Without the spiritual vein, it will be difficult to maintain the formation. Toad Island will also appear in the outside world, and there is no guarantee that it will not be occupied by others."
Moreover, the first-level spiritual veins are of little use to him, so there is really no need to take them away.
"Oh~~"
Lu Yaoyao nodded and followed Lu Chen out of the quiet room. Then the two of them cleaned the cave again. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chen took out the kitchen utensils he brought with him and started cooking. He explained a few words from time to time. Lu Yaoyao listened carefully. I will try it occasionally.
After the food was cooked, the two of them sat down at the stone table.
Lu Yaoyao looked at Lu Chen's bowl full of dragon tooth rice, and then forgot to look at his own small bowl of first-order ordinary spiritual rice. He frowned for a while and said aggrievedly:
"Master, I want to eat cornstarch rice."
"Haha~"
Lu Chen smiled and said leisurely:
"You just cleaned the cave today. It will be good if you can have spiritual rice to eat. Just be content."
"Alas~~"
Lu Yaoyao sighed, puffed out his cheeks, and plucked the rice from the bowl. He frowned for a while, then cheered up and said, "Master, Yaoyao will work hard this afternoon."
"I am looking forward!"
"Master, have tea!"
"good!"
"Master, can I help you rub your shoulders?"
"Can!"
"Master, do you want to take a bath?"
"OK!"
In the afternoon, Lu Chen took a bath in the Akutagawa River. It was very pleasant. Lu Chen swam in the water like a mermaid, sometimes rubbing his back, sometimes rubbing his shoulders, and he was busy non-stop.
In the evening, Lu Yaoyao finally ate the jade rice that she had been longing for.
That night, Lu Chen rarely practiced, but was guarded by Huniu. He slept on the same stone bed where Fang Yuqi had slept. Early the next morning, Lu Chen woke up and found that there was an extra figure in the brocade quilt.
It was a Lu Yaoyao who was wearing no clothes.
Lu Chen held up the other person's cheek and saw that the other person's red lips were swollen for some reason. He asked knowingly:
"How is this going?"
"."
Lu Yaoyao's face was filled with grievances, and she buried her head in Lu Chen's arms, looking quite shameless in front of others. Lu Chen laughed and said meaningfully:
"I have been busy for most of the night, and there is no credit but hard work. I will give you an extra meal this morning."
"The master is bad~~~"
After breakfast, Lu Chen boarded the flying boat again and was about to continue heading north when a small figure suddenly emerged from the long hair. Meng Yao rubbed her big eyes and followed a strand of long hair to fall on Lu Chen's shoulders. She pouted her little figure. Mouth:
"Brother, it's tickling~"
Lu Chen held Meng Yao in his hand and said strangely:
"Where is it itchy?"
"here!"
Meng Yao pointed to his little ear. Lu Chen asked Meng Yao to turn sideways and looked carefully. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he blew a few breaths and said warmly:
"Better?"
"It's still itchy."
Meng Yao shook his little head, put on a serious face, and said seriously:
"Yao Yao's ears seem to have bugs and they are buzzing."
Lu Chen didn't think Meng Yao was talking nonsense. He took a deep breath, opened his mouth and exhaled, and a mouthful of mana surged out, flowing into the opponent's body along Meng Yao's little ears, flowing back and forth, over and over again, but still found nothing unusual.
Meng Yao said happily:
"Stop ringing, little bug stops ringing!"
When Lu Chen withdrew his magic power, Meng Yao's face fell and she pouted:
"Brother, the little bug is buzzing again~"
Lu Chen frowned slightly and warned, "Yao Yao, please calm down first and listen carefully to what the sound is."
"Oh~~"
Meng Yao nodded his little head, sat cross-legged in Lu Chen's palm, then closed his big eyes and listened carefully. After a while, a voice came from his little mouth:
"The great and supreme God"
"Great and supreme goddess, you give us life, food and clothing, and wisdom. You are the only supreme god in the world. You walk in the world, and we are loyal to you, grateful to you, sacrifice to you, and serve you. As for you, please save your people!!!"
"Please save your people!!!"
"Please save your people!!!"
At the same time, in the Yefang City dozens of miles north of the Akutagawa River, a massive sacrifice was being held under the towering statue of the goddess.
Five birds and six animals.
Cigarettes curled up.
The bamboo joints crackled and roared in the flames. The warriors beat the ear-splitting drums, roared, swayed and danced. There were many believers around them who bowed their heads and worshiped. On the central round platform, twelve young people were sitting cross-legged. The girl, in the middle position, is a woman in black with a black veil covering her face.
When the sacrifice stopped for a moment, the woman in black suddenly opened her eyes, surprised and happy, and shouted:
"Lanpo Lanpo, I finally sensed the goddess!!"
