"Thick-soil-"
The earth and stone puppet speaks very slowly, and seems to pause before speaking, as if he wants to think about it first.
This made Yang Junshan a little stunned. Compared with the clever boy who was almost no different from a normal person, the performance of the boy in front of him was really poor.
The boy who was throwing a mulberry up high and then catching it easily with his mouth seemed to understand what Yang Junshan was thinking. While chewing the delicious mulberry, he smiled and said: "As long as you throw those two colorless crystal stones If you leave it to Lao Tu, he will speak and do things much more efficiently. Don't underestimate Lao Tu, this guy is quite capable, although he is a little bit worse than this boy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Junshan took out two colorless crystals, one large and one small, which he had obtained from the ancestor of the Tao realm stone demon Mo Ling, and said: "Think of it, the boy is already the same as thick soil, well, thick Fellow Taoist Tu has already said it, so I won’t say anything more. If fellow Taoist accepts employment and works for me, then I will naturally offer you these two crystal stones.”
The moment the earth and stone puppet saw the colorless crystal, Yang Junshan clearly saw that the huge stone head of the earth and stone puppet collapsed due to excessive twisting. The "crack, bang, bang, bang" sound even made Yang Junshan It felt like his whole head was going to burst next, but the two stone bead-like eyes could actually emit light like night pearls when they rotated.
"Accept it, but count the time!"
A dry sound like the friction of sand and stone came from the mouth of the earth and stone puppet.
The reception boy on the side was eating happily, his lips were dyed purple by the juice of mulberries. Hearing this, he said: "If you don't want to, I won't come. But since you want to accept the employment, there must be a time limit, old man." After all, Tu is a member of the Immortal Palace, so he can’t take away a Dao realm puppet with just two crystal stones.”
Yang Junshan nodded, thought for a moment, but did not ask about the hiring time. Instead, he asked: "Then how long can these two crystal stones support the normal actions of fellow Taoist Houtu?"
There were too many mulberries in the boy's mouth, which made him speak a little slower. The thick earth puppet next to him already said slowly: "Two-hundred-years!"
The lead boy hurriedly swallowed what was in his mouth, but it was too late to stop the thick soil puppet from telling the truth, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Yang Junshan, who was on the sidelines, already understood and said: "Then, fellow Taoist, I will work for you for a hundred years, how about it?"
"Twenty-ten years!" the thick-earth puppet said slowly.
"Only accepting employment for twenty years?"
Yang Junshan frowned, and saw that the thick soil puppet nodded too much, its chin hit the collarbone directly, and knocked down another stone chip, saying: "Twenty years is too short, no matter what, what I have in my hands is However, it is possible to maintain Taoist friends for two hundred years, but Taoist friends lack sincerity."
The neck of the thick earth puppet "squeaked" and twisted towards the boy, saying: "He said it, listen to him, me!"
Yang Junshan's eyes were fixed on the mulberry in the hand of the boy, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, eating other people's fruits is the shortest, not to mention that he was eating other people's fruits and scheming with his companions. This was somewhat unjustifiable.
I don’t know if this puppet body knows how to be embarrassed. He smiled at the boy and turned the mulberry in his hand before disappearing. He said: "Don’t blame this short time. Although the two things you provided can make the old man happy." The earth can last for two hundred years, but that is only under ideal conditions, but why would you hire an old person to fight with others to protect you
Under this situation, the two hundred years will definitely shrink, and it will shrink significantly, not to mention that the old-fashioned people are at risk of falling completely. "
After saying so much, the boy who took the lead felt very embarrassed. He changed his tone and said, "Of course, this time is not non-negotiable. How about thirty years?"
Yang Junshan snorted coldly and said: "Small injuries and small damage, as long as I can do it, I will naturally repair it for him. However, considering the risks involved, I will deduct twenty years for you. Fellow Taoist Houtu will do eight things for me." Ten years is enough, and the extent of the concession is much more generous than that of you, my Taoist friend."
"Okay, okay, who told this boy to be greedy and eat your fruit, then fifty years can't be less. After all, the old man is a creature of the fairy palace. Now that he is down and out, no one will notice, but he can't be saved. It may be discovered someday, and the risk is not small, so please be considerate."
Jieyin Tongzi bargained with Yang Junshan, but the Houtu Puppet stood aside without saying a word, obviously agreeing with all the decisions made by Jieyin Tongzi, which made Yang Junshan understand that Jieyin Tongzi probably had a high status among their kind.
"Fifty years? Whatever, just fifty years!"
Yang Junshan secretly thought that exchanging two crystal stones for a Dao realm puppet to protect him for fifty years would not be a loss, but he still said: "But the ugly words are ahead, how can you guarantee that you will abide by the agreement? If you leave early, or maybe When I encounter danger, if I apply oil on my soles, I won’t even have a chance to reason.”
As soon as Yang Junshan finished speaking, without waiting for the boy to answer, the thick-earth puppet beside him suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud roar, and punched the ground with his fist. He seemed very excited.
"Don't be angry, I'll tell him, I'll tell him!"
The lead boy hurriedly stepped forward to appease the thick-earth puppet, then turned around and said seriously: "Don't worry, we are puppets, and we are born to follow our mission until death without regrets. Although you are just an employee, the old-fashioned mission will still be there. It worked until he died."
Yang Junshan actually saw firmness in the eyes of the puppet body that led to the boy, so he nodded and said: "I believe it, and please forgive me for what I said before, because I didn't take the two of you seriously." You should think of yourself as a puppet instead of a human being and a fellow Taoist."
The trace of dissatisfaction in the boy's eyes disappeared immediately. He turned back to the thick soil puppet and said: "This little guy is pretty good in general."
The two crystal stones in Yang Junshan's hand slowly flew towards the thick soil puppet.
Two spaces were split between the eyebrows and the chest of the thick soil puppet, and two colorless crystals were included in each. Then a large number of stone chips on the thick soil puppet's body began to peel off, and the originally rough body began to become much smoother. The joints that were once stuck became freer, and the movements became smoother. The entire puppet's body seemed to have been reborn in an instant.
"good!"
A low voice came from the mouth of the thick earth puppet, and his speech was obviously much more coherent, but his speaking speed was still very slow: "I feel that my power is back!"
At this time, the thick earth puppet looks like a "person". Of course, it is still a stone "person", which is still very different from a real person. It is like a beautiful stone sculpture resurrected.
"Thanks!"
Houtu actually turned his head and said to Yang Junshan this time.
"You're welcome, you and I just do what we need."
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment, and then said.
The thick-earth puppet nodded towards the boy and said, "Then, what should I do next? Follow you all the time?"
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to speak, the leading boy said first, "Lao Tu is too conspicuous. If you are sure there is no danger or Lao Tu can appear by your side in time, in the end, it is better not to let him follow you."
