The cave in the back mountain.
Taoist Qingyou brought Luo Qingzhou and the other person and soon met Taoist Yunshang.
Nangong Meijiao directly stated the purpose of her visit.
Taoist Yunshang glanced at the two of them and said apologetically, "Unless Young Master Luo comes in person, I dare not take you in. Senior Zhu Yan was still talking about Young Master Luo a few days ago, saying that he was not trustworthy and wanted to go down the mountain to find him... Miss Nangong, you should go and invite Young Master Luo."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at someone next to her.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and looked at Taoist Qingyou next to him.
Taoist Yunshang saw that they seemed to have something to say, so he paused and said, "Qingyou, you go first. I will accompany the two guests."
Taoist Qingyou agreed, lowered his head and retreated.
There were only three people left in the cave.
Luo Qingzhou then said: "Please don't blame me, senior."
After saying this, he sank his Qi into his Dantian and recited aloud: "The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and earth; the Great Dao is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things; I do not know its name, so I call it Dao..."
Taoist Yunshang's eyes gleamed, and he stood up from the mat, stared at him for a moment, then held his whisk in his hand, bowed his head, and smiled: "Young Master is indeed unpredictable, I am shortsighted."
Then he made an invitation gesture: "In that case, both of you please come in."
Luo Qingzhou bowed, thanked him, and followed behind with Nangong Meijiao.
Taoist Yunshang walked in front without saying a word. He soon led the two of them across the wooden bridge and came to Lingyuan Cave where Zhu Yan lived.
A solitary peak hangs in the sky, and white clouds float far away.
There is a world of its own inside the cave.
Taoist Yunshang opened the stone door and led the two people in. After walking for a while, the front suddenly became clear and a bright light appeared.
Then, a wild land with tall ancient trees and towering strange rocks suddenly appeared.
Taoist Yunshang stopped and said apologetically, "Mr. Chu, Miss Nangong, I can only send you here. You need to find where Zhu Yan is playing by yourselves."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Senior."
Taoist Yunshang nodded, turned and left.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while before walking forward with Nangong Meijiao.
Nangong Meijiao clung to him, looking around nervously.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "If the princess is afraid, go out with Senior Yunshang and wait. I will be back after I take the blood."
Nangong Meijiao immediately snorted coldly, puffed out her towering chest, and tightly gripped the whip handle at her waist, saying, "Who is afraid? There is nothing in this world that this princess is afraid of!"
“Squeak!”
At this moment, a monkey suddenly jumped over from the big tree above head, screaming.
Nangong Meijiao screamed "Ah", jumped on him, hugged his neck with her arms, clamped his body with her long legs, and her face turned pale.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and took a look.
The monkey squeaked again and jumped away quickly.
Nangong Meijiao was stunned on him for a few seconds before loosening her legs and arms and jumping down, saying in shame and anger, "Stinky monkey!"
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to say more, and said: "Let's go, there is a waterfall ahead, let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he directly took off the mask on his face.
Nangong Meijiao was about to get close to him when she suddenly saw his handsome face. She was stunned for a moment, snorted, and immediately walked a few steps to the side as if to avoid suspicion. She put on a cold face and ignored him.
After climbing over a hillside, the roar of a waterfall suddenly came from the front.
Looking up, a huge waterfall suddenly appeared!
The waterfall was as white as a silk thread, rushing down, dozens of meters wide and no less than a hundred meters high. Below it was a huge valley with lush grass and blooming flowers.
There are butterflies flying and bees collecting honey.
It's like a paradise.
Luo Qingzhou searched around the valley and then looked at the waterfall.
Several huge footprints appeared on the grass near the waterfall.
But the ancient ferocious beast didn't seem to be here.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the hillside, looked around again, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Senior Zhu Yan, I am here to visit you!"
The sound echoed in the valley and traveled far away.
Nangong Meijiao looked at the huge footprints in front of the waterfall, her heart trembled, and she involuntarily moved closer to him.
Luo Qingzhou held her hand and comforted her: "Princess, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Nangong Meijiao immediately broke free from his hand, glared at him and said angrily: "Don't touch me, men and women should not be intimate, you are not Chu Feiyang, don't think of taking advantage of this princess!"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"snort!"
Nangong Meijiao turned away, with a cold face, and ignored him.
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from behind!
Then, the ground shook suddenly!
The two of them could hardly stand and were almost thrown into the air.
Suddenly, there was a heavy breathing sound and a terrifying and fierce aura behind me!
The two of them immediately turned around and looked.
A huge monster, nearly a hundred feet tall, was bending over and looking at them with its scarlet eyes wide open, with a ferocious and hideous expression on its face!
This monster had snow-white hair and red skin, and was like a giant ape. It had a bloody mouth with exposed fangs, huge claws and feet, bulging muscles, and cold, bloodshot eyes.
A fierce and terrifying aura suddenly rushed towards the two of them and instantly filled the entire valley!
Nangong Meijiao opened her eyes wide, and stood there stiffly, motionless and dumbfounded, as if her soul had been scared away at that moment.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly shouted: "Senior, it's me! Do you still recognize me?"
Zhu Yan bared his fangs and roared. He glared with his bloodshot eyes and clenched his huge fists, saying, "I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes! You broke your promise. You said you'd come to me as soon as possible, but you're only here now. I'm going to beat you into dust with one punch!"
As he said that, he raised his huge and ferocious fist!
Luo Qingzhou immediately said: "Senior, I have been feeling unwell recently and have been recuperating at home. As soon as I recovered, I came to see you. I am not going back on my word. If I lie, God will strike me with lightning!"
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing next to him, glanced at him.
Zhu Yan still clenched his fists, snorted coldly through his thick nostrils, and said with glaring eyes: "Anyway, you are late. If I don't listen, I will beat you into slag with one punch!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Senior, how about this, I will tell you more stories today, okay?"
Zhu Yan immediately said: "Three days and three nights!"
Then he raised his big thumb and said, "No, ten days and ten nights!"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior, I am just an ordinary person. If I don't go back to sleep at night, my body will definitely not be able to bear it. We humans have a saying that staying up late is harmful to the body and may even cause sudden death. If I hurt myself or die suddenly, who will tell you stories in the future? Without me, wouldn't you be lonely and bored in the future? So senior, I can only tell you stories for one day at most. When it gets dark, I will go back to rest."
Zhu Yan was immediately furious: "Boy, how dare you negotiate terms with me?"
Then he opened his bloody mouth, revealing his cold fangs, and let out a deafening roar!
Nangong Meijiao was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body went limp, and she almost couldn't stand.
Luo Qingzhou took out the black wooden stick and said fearlessly: "Senior, if you bully me and want me to die suddenly from staying up late, I will rather die than surrender! Even if it costs me my life, I will use this golden cudgel to make you bleed!"
Zhu Yan looked at the stick in his hand, and his ferocious face twitched. He immediately thought of the severe pain that the golden cudgel had brought him that day. The toe that had been broken by the stick twitched involuntarily, and he said in shock and anger: "You dare to threaten me! You are courting death!"
“Swish!”
Luo Qingzhou waved the wooden stick in his hand, and the stick seemed to have a spirit. With a "whoosh" sound, it suddenly became longer and instantly turned into a thick wooden stick over ten meters long!
“Sizzle—”
A streak of purple lightning suddenly appeared on the wooden stick, looking extremely ferocious!
Luo Qingzhou opened his mouth, a little confused.
When Zhu Yan saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He took a step back involuntarily and said angrily, "Boy, is this how you humans treat your elders? Where is your upbringing and character?"
Luo Qingzhou was worried, but he clenched the stick in his hand, pretending to be ready to die. He said excitedly: "Senior, I have already said that I will tell you a story for a day. After I have rested, I will tell you again next time. Do you understand that a steady stream of water will last a long time? But you are so aggressive that you insist that I stay up all night to tell you stories. You are repaying kindness with enmity. You want me to die, how can I not resist? Even ants try to survive, let alone a man of eight feet tall!"
When Zhu Yan heard what he said, and saw that he was not afraid of death, his momentum weakened immediately, and he said, "You just came now, and made me wait for a long time! One day is not enough, at least three days! I will allow you to rest at night, you can rest here, and you can continue talking after dawn, how about it?"
Luo Qingzhou pretended to think for a moment and said, "No, in three days, my voice will become hoarse and it will be too harmful to my health. I would rather die than surrender!"
Zhu Yan immediately clenched his fists and said angrily, "Boy, don't push your luck!"
Luo Qingzhou immediately took a step back and said, "Senior, how about this? Two days! Two days! What do you think?"
Zhu Yan stared at him with scarlet eyes. When he was hesitating, Luo Qingzhou said again: "Senior, it is impossible for me to remember all the stories so clearly. What if I don't remember them and my story is not exciting? Wouldn't it be unfair to you? In two days, I have told all the stories I remember. When I go back and remember the rest, I will tell you again. Wouldn't it be better? Do you know that slow cooking over low heat can make delicious food? You like to listen to stories, don't you like to listen to the most exciting and heart-wrenching ones?"
After saying this, Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment, then he retreated all his fierce aura, snorted, and said, "Boy, then two days will do, but during these two days, you have to tell me a wonderful story, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
Luo Qingzhou immediately put away his stick and said, "Of course, it will be exciting. But... Senior, I came here this time to ask for some blood from you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan immediately started cursing, "Damn it, I knew you had bad intentions towards me and had other plans! Last time you broke my flesh, I was in so much pain, and you actually want to do that to me again this time? You're dreaming!"
Luo Qingzhou looked at it and stopped talking.
Zhu Yan glared at him angrily and asked, "Why, if I don't give you blood, you're not going to tell the story?"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "I dare not. Even if you don't give me blood, I will still tell you."
Zhu Yan stared at him for a while and cursed, "Damn it, if I don't give you blood, I guess you won't speak your mind. Anyway, I can't hear you, right? You despicable and shameless boy, you are unworthy of being the descendant of the Great Sage!"
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said respectfully, "Please help me, Senior."
Zhu Yan glared at me, slammed his fist on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Here you go! Here you go! If you just talk nicely, I'll give you my other foot, too!"
Then he trembled and said, "But you have to be gentle, kid. I am afraid of pain. You have to be gentle, understand?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately said happily: "Don't worry, my king, I will be gentle!"
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation and opened her mouth slightly: "..."
Zhu Yan then pointed at her and asked, "Boy, who is this person? Why is he different from the one you brought last time?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Last time it was my wife, this time it's my fiancée."
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by fiancée?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and explained, "She is about to become the younger generation's wife, but she has not yet completed some necessary processes."
After hearing this, Zhu Yan clapped his huge hands and laughed, "I understand. You two haven't mated yet, but you are about to mate with her, right?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the side: "...I guess so."
Zhu Yan chuckled, showing his fangs, and said, "Boy, you are so good at playing tricks. Last time you used a sword, this time you used a whip, will you use a gun or a knife in the future?"
Luo Qingzhou's lips twitched and he said, "No..."
Zhu Yan curled his lips and said with disdain: "But your vision is really too poor. The two spouses you chose are both extremely ugly. I don't know how you could bear to do it."
Then he quickly pulled out a huge piece of jade from his arms, bent down and handed it to him, saying, "Come here, boy, let me show you the beautiful photos of my beloved concubine!"
Luo Qingzhou looked at the enlarged version of the communication certificate in his hand with shock on his face. A huge portrait appeared on the surface of the certificate!
—That’s the head of a female gorilla!
The female gorilla had her mouth wide open with a hideous smile on her face. Her nostrils could accommodate her entire body. Her nose hair was exposed, and her fangs were yellow and thick. She looked black and old, extremely ugly and ferocious!
"Oh—Senior, your beloved concubine... is indeed extremely beautiful, unparalleled in the world! My wives and concubines are not as good as her!"
Luo Qingzhou almost vomited, and immediately cupped his hands, his face full of envy and twitching expressions.
Zhu Yan laughed heartily, his face full of pride, and he was very pleased with his flattery. He waved his hand and said, "Boy, don't be discouraged. As long as you serve me well, I may give you my beloved concubine to play with for a few days if I am happy."
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly shrank and his eyes widened.
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing by, suddenly covered her stomach, squatted on the ground, lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and made a suppressed "hissing" sound from her mouth.
"Bang!"
Zhu Yan suddenly leaped into the valley behind the two men, then squatted on the ground with his head parallel to the two men, and said impatiently: "Boy, I can't wait any longer, tell me the story of the Great Sage! The Great Sage has suffered so much injustice, it's best to beat that thief bald donkey to death with a stick!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "That won't work, that's his master, he actually loves his master very much in his heart."
As soon as he said this, Nangong Meijiao, who was standing next to him, suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
