Chapter 408: Begging disciples
Ding Xing originally thought that it would take at least several months for Fang Zhenyu and Li Jinxiu to complete his errand, but he found good news in just a few days.
This day.
All the monks from the nine sects of Tiandong rushed to the Diaobi Island station. Zhong Jianwei, the founder of the purple palace of Xuanqiong Sect, held a banquet and invited fellow Taoists of the nine sects to gather.
While Ding Xing was having a meal, Ding Yingnan came over to report that Li Jinxiu had already arrived at the cave of Qiongtai Sect.
Ding Xing immediately found an excuse to leave the seat.
When I entered the cave hall, I saw that in addition to Li Jinxiu, there was also an ordinary-dressed female cultivator standing in the hall. She was probably thirty years old, with a yin energy all over her body, like a corpse monster, and she had no style of a boy at all.
Ding Xingzheng was puzzled by the identity of this female cultivator, and saw her kneeling down, using a girl's tone, saying, "Go to the ancestor! The ancestor, the boy is a red boy!"
After saying that, he stretched out his right palm and wielded an unknown master hexagram. His body suddenly flashed, collapsed into a ball of red mist, dispersed and gathered, and turned into the young body of the blood inkstone beast.
Ding Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You can transform into a human body? But why does your human body exude such a strong corpse energy?"
He walked to the main chair in the hall and waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk!"
In fact, Ding Xing has always been worried that Red Boy no longer recognizes him, but Red Boy speaks as the "ancestor", and his doubts are instantly dispelled.
Red Boy's original body could not speak anyone else. When she showed her original body shape in front of Ding Xing and confirmed her identity, she immediately became the appearance of a female cultivator just now.
Still kneeling on the ground, he replied, "The child could not speak at first, but later he practiced the "Good Alchemy" with Mr. Zhu and learned the ever-changing magical powers. Now he can turn into fish, snakes, clams, turtles, and birds. There are thirteen kinds of changes in total!"
Her tone has a childish voice and a childlike temperament. She became more and more energetic as she spoke. After a while, she spitted out stars and flew around. "Old ancestor, the appearance you see now is the body of the Guangling corpse demon. As long as you change, the child can speak and become a corpse demon. It is because the people on the Diaobi Island are too talkative, and the child doesn't want to attract attention!"
Ding Xing secretly claimed to be strange. He knew many transformation powers, but often there was only one change, and it was strengthened on the basis of the human body. It was extremely rare for Red Boy to change the body shape at will, and the change was so large.
Ding Xing asked, "The Great Method of Begging Alchemy? You just used the demon clan's hexagram. This hexagram technique is the direct inheritance of the ancient demon clan. Do you know where that senior Zhu inherited the Taoist tradition? "
Red Boy was serious: "Mr. Zhu never mentioned where the Taoist sect came from. However, in daily life, when he guided the child's magic, he always mentioned, "As a beggar boy, how are you doing? Every time you say it, the child's head is big!" The child felt that his Taoist sect might be for begging for food!"
Ding Xing thought that this was a wise man, so how could the martial arts be obtained by begging for alms like monks?
He turned his head to see Li Jinxiu.
Li Jinxiu immediately shook her head: "Ce'er has also practiced the "Great Art of Begging for Alchemy", but that Senior Zhu did not talk about the origin of this magical power!"
Ding Xing pressed down and said nothing, "Where are compassion and Zhenyu? Why haven't they come back?"
Li Jinxiu replied: "Senior Zhu is in seclusion. He has set up a ban in the dojo. He needs a boy to preside over the presidency. The two of them cannot leave at the same time."
Ding Xing asked again: "Does Senior Zhu know that you recognize Psychia?"
Li Jinxiu's face was bitter: "Zhen Yu and I didn't see Senior Zhu at all. We went to the dojo to meet us, but were stopped by a group of clam demons. They were not yet intelligent and almost fought until Fang'er and the Red Child appeared!"
In Senior Zhu's temple, in addition to the two boys, there was also a group of clam spirit monsters. However, these monsters had low cultivation and were not as talented as Red Boy. Even if they swallowed the Transformation Pill, they would not be able to understand human nature.
Ding Xing couldn't help but frown: "So, did you take Red Boy out of the dojo privately?"
I thought she was so brave. If Senior Zhu was targeted, it would cause a lot of trouble for Ding Xing.
When her and her husband left a few days ago, Ding Xing ordered her to lead Fang Ceyin and Hong Chi'er together, and did this to facilitate the aftermath.
Because with the consent of Senior Zhu, even if Senior Zhu discovered the identity of Ding Xing and Hong Boyer, Ding Xing could defend himself by chance and inform Senior Zhu that he had no intention of taking Hong Boy away, which greatly reduced the possibility of a dispute.
But if only Red Boy comes to see Ding Xing, then Ding Xing will be suspected of abducting. Once discovered by Senior Zhu, he is very likely to attack Ding Xing indiscriminately.
Although Ding Xing is not afraid of Senior Zhu, he is not willing to make enemies with Senior Zhu at present.
Li Jinxiu understood the importance of this, so she quickly explained: "I don't want to secretly bring the Red Boy to see you. She insisted on coming here. I had told her that you were on Diaobi Island. Even if I didn't accompany her, she would come..."
Red Boy rushed to say, "Don't blame Aunt Fang, this is the child's own idea! The child is thinking about the three brothers and wants to see them. He will give them some food by the way, so he begged Aunt Fang to bring me to you!"
She said as she reached into the leather bag around her waist, touched it for a moment, and grabbed a handful of halo pearls from the bag.
These pearls are different from the spiritual beads circulating in the sea city. Their appearance is not monochromatic, but exudes colorful cloud-like spiritual patterns, which look rare and beautiful.
She stood up, walked up to Ding Xing's side, and stuffed the pearls into Ding Xing's hand: "This is Mr. Zhu's Huanyang clam bead. Eating one can last for at least 30 years. These are the ones that the child respects the ancestor!"
After stuffing it, he reached into his pocket and touched it, "These are for the brothers of the child! By the way, the four of us were separated back then, have you found the three brothers of the child?"
Ding Xing lowered his head and looked at the pearls in his hand. There were as many as seven.
Red Boy gave Ding Xing four pieces, each of the brothers. If so many clam beads were exposed to the sea market at this moment, it would be enough to trigger a big melee between Wan Xiu, but Red Boy gave it to Ding Xing like a snack.
Ding Xing first opened the ban in the cave, and then summoned Ding Xiaojin and Ding Xiaomo to meet Red Boy.
While waiting for the three demons to reminisce about the past, Ding Xing asked Li Jinxiu: "When will that Senior Zhu be closed? When will he come out of seclusion? Have you asked about the details from Fang Ceyin?"
Li Jinxiu truthfully revealed: "According to Ce'er, Senior Zhu only started seclusion three years ago. He had an explanation before seclusion that he could not disturb him unless someone attacked the dojo. As for when he would leave the seclusion, Ce'er didn't know."
She glanced at Hongboer and added: "Red Boy and Ce'er are regularly rewarded by Senior Zhu to return the clam beads. Even if these beads are given to outsiders, Senior Zhu will not care about them."
