Young Master Su had a good night's sleep.
Because of his weak body, he always had fears at night, but today he slept particularly soundly and felt relaxed.
Just when he was about to wake up, Oliver felt something on his chest and pillow. It was quite heavy, and it was moving as quietly as a cat or dog, and it was chattering in his ear.
"Where is my Lord, where is my Lord?"
"The master was struck by lightning! The master was struck by lightning!"
"It seems to be all blurry and blurry."
"It fell from the clouds. Look for it, look for it."
The words sounded like a parrot that was just learning human language, with a clumsy tone and not very proficient.
"No, there's nothing outside."
There was a stutterer who followed suit, "No, no, no."
"Shut up, shut up, don't wake this guy up! Let's turn it over quietly."
So, Oliver vaguely felt that the warm quilt was gently turned up, and the wind entered her neck and feet. The draft in the early morning was so cold.
A few creatures were still pupating in his quilt, and even the bun on his head was carefully pinched by them.
"Hiss, no, it should be right here."
The search was unsuccessful and a few things began to sigh again.
"Oh, that's bad."
The big tongue also followed suit, "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no."
It turns out that the day when the dragon raises its head on the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the king of Jinshui completes his three thousand years of cultivation and leaps over the Dragon Gate to turn into a dragon.
The God of Water was born and raised by nature. He is a spirit in the water, the source of all rivers in the world. His true form is a red dragon carp. He has reached the last stage of the Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon, with dragon horns, dragon tail, dragon eyes and dragon scales. He is just waiting to leap over the Dragon Gate and be sealed in heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, the Water God had some bad luck. When he jumped over the Dragon Gate, he happened to be met with a burst of Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder. The purple thunder spread across the sky, with such force that it split the exhausted Jinshui giant carp into pieces, leaving it burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish was then beaten back to its original form and fell down from the clouds.
The monsters in Jinshui were originally intimidated by the thunder and the dragon gate and dared not come out of the water, but when they saw their Lord Shuijun falling down, they desperately ran out to look for him. Some were injured by the remaining thunder, and some were frightened by the dragon gate and revealed their true form, becoming stupid.
Seeing that it should have fallen into the mountains and river bank on the right side of the Jinshui River, the big and small monsters in the water came out one after another, taking advantage of the heavy rain to search hard.
But no one knew what the situation was with Shuijun. Perhaps to protect himself, he concealed his aura and no one could find him.
It was not until last night that several big monsters in the water felt the dragon energy slightly, which was quite similar to their masters' dragon balls!
The nearby little demon followed the ditch and pool water, searching hard all the way.
So, this morning, I went to the bed of Young Master Su in the Su Mansion...
However, demons do not easily reveal themselves. The spiritual energy of the human world is declining day by day. In the last days of the Dharma, cultivation is already difficult, and the Heavenly Dao is watching closely. Since ancient times, few great demons who were born in the human world to cultivate have had a good end.
Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world and are most favored by heaven. It is also the easiest for them to practice cultivation. However, the five aggregates of human beings are intense, and the seven emotions and six desires are complex. Most monsters are animals that have practiced cultivation, so their animal nature is difficult to conceal, and they have not experienced any etiquette education. After entering the world and transforming into humans as monsters, they cannot withstand human desires. Anyone who possesses a demon and causes cholera will be killed by a great monster or a Taoist priest in the world.
At this point, people did not know about ghosts and gods, and the two were rarely connected. Even the wise men in the world said, "If you do not speak of ghosts and gods, you will not be able to understand them."
Therefore, the little demons are very cautious.
Oliver, who was born ignorant of ghosts and gods, was frightened by the whispering in his ear and froze up, not daring to move. The little monsters also hid in a hurry, fearing that they would be exposed to the "human" after the man woke up.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a loud crowing of a rooster was heard in the morning light from Qionglin Town, and the roosters announced the dawn.
"Hurry, hurry, it's dawn!"
Oliver suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he heard a few "plop" sounds, as if these things jumped into the water and left.
So he opened his eyes, sweating all over, and wanted to call for help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Oliver opened her eyes, she met the eyes of a white and clean hexagonal giant salamander in front of her.
"Aaaaah!"
"Aaaaah!"
Oliver screamed after being frightened, and the giant salamander also screamed while shaking its pink and plump paws.
"Monster, monster, monster!"
"People, people, people!"
Surprisingly, no one in the house woke up. Instead, a big turtle kicked Jaxon, who was sleeping outside the bed curtain, away, quickly got on the bed, grabbed the giant salamander and ran away, cursing as he ran, "You fool, everyone is awake, why are you back here!"
The little salamander's eyes were filled with tears from fear, and he couldn't speak clearly, "I, I, I."
Oliver sat up disheveledly from the bed, his head buzzing, but he did see what the giant salamander was doing.
That little fat white guy came back to tuck himself in.
Aren't monsters supposed to be savage and have green faces and fangs? But seeing a funny giant turtle pulling a crying giant salamander in front of him, Oliver wasn't so scared anymore.
It seems like, monsters, there is nothing special about them, this is all just a mess...
As a result, the young master's arrogance came up and his courage grew. He immediately raised his hand and slammed the bed.
"Stop right there! Who are you and why are you breaking into my tent?"
When the big turtle saw that something was wrong, he turned around, blew a puff of smoke at Oliver, and chanted a sleeping spell.
Oliver remained unmoved and continued to glare.
"?"
The turtle blinked, exhaled another puff of smoke, stamped his feet hard and chanted a sleeping spell twice.
Oliver didn't change at all.
The turtle got anxious and spoke in human language, "You, are you a human? Why aren't you cursed?"
Oliver had no idea what curse it was. He only knew that the monster was calling him a non-human.
"You are not a human being."
But just as he said this, the young master sucked his teeth, thinking that his brain was filled with blood and he was confused. These two were not human beings. So he simply got angry and called the servants and maids to catch the monster.
The turtle saw the situation and realized that there was no way out. At dawn, the sleeping curse would be lifted. The man's shouting would alert the whole prefecture, which would be bad. It would cause chaos in the prefecture and town. Moreover, this place was a neighbor of their Qionglin Town on the Jinshui River. If their masters found out about it, they would dig out their own turtle shells!
So he hurried forward to apologize to Oliver, "Sir, please don't blame me, sir, please don't blame me, listen to me in detail."
Oliver looked at a turtle standing on the ground, carrying a large shell on its back, bending over to greet him. He felt a little frightened. Although the two did not look scary, the turtle's behavior was extremely human-like, which was also frightening.
"You, you go stand at the door and talk." But stay away from me.
Oliver grabbed the scratcher under the bed and waved it around, pretending to protect herself.
The turtle was very polite, fearing to scare this "person", so he pulled the giant salamander and stood obediently at the foot of the wall, quite far away from Oliver, giving the pink and tender little human boy a chance to catch his breath and relax.
Monsters are always proud of being able to take human form, so they also appreciate the appearance of humans.
In their eyes, the young master of this family is handsome!
"Xiao Ke and this little newt are originally aquatic creatures that practice in Jinshui. They have no ill intentions here. They are here to find our master. If we are to be honest, we are still neighbors. I hope you can give us some convenience and not alarm the mortals on earth."
Oliver had lived for more than twenty years and had only read about strange and bizarre stories in storybooks. This was the first time she had seen one with her own eyes, let alone talked about it!
So he also had mixed feelings, but the little thing in front of him made him more curious than afraid.
"Is there really a demon in the world? I am not dreaming, am I?"
As he spoke, Oliver pinched his thigh subconsciously, and then let out an "ouch".
It hurts, I’m not dreaming.
The giant salamander also recovered, but he was not speaking fluently, "Can we, can we, leave now?"
Oliver looked at the fat, white giant salamander sobbing and felt a little soft-hearted. It looked, it looked quite cute.
"So, did you find it?"
The two little demons looked at each other, shook their heads blankly, and sighed, looking quite pitiful.
By this time it was already daybreak. Jaxon, who was unconscious under the bed, moved his legs, as if he was about to wake up.
Oliver looked at the two little monsters holding hands at the foot of the wall, sighed, and put down the tickler he was holding up for self-defense.
"If you don't harm anyone, maybe I can help you look for it in my house or in town."
When the two little demons heard this, their eyes lit up. Although they were afraid of involving "humans", the aquatic creatures did not dare to show up in the human world during the day. Their adults were in a critical situation and must have fallen nearby. So they didn't care about much else. The turtle nodded his head, and the pink horns on the giant salamander's head trembled with joy.
"But there are three rules: no scaring, no harming, and the third one..."
Looking at the little demon's expectant eyes, Oliver made up his mind, "Third, tell me about the demons!"
The two monsters were a little embarrassed and didn't want to reveal it. Oliver thought the little monster was not scary and looked quite innocent, so he continued to coax him, "I'm not in good health, I don't have many friends, I don't like to go out, I keep my mouth shut, I swear to heaven, I won't reveal it."
When Wang Ba heard that it was a swearing to heaven, he immediately felt it was safe. After all, for them, monsters, nothing was more serious than swearing to heaven. Once they broke the contract, they would either be entangled by inner demons or be struck by lightning.
So, after Jaxon woke up in a daze, he saw his son wearing only a single layer of clothes, leaning on the window and looking out at the pond in the yard, with a look of excitement and curiosity on his face.
Oliver also felt a secret joy when he saw the two little monsters diving into the pond with a "plop".
He has been alone for too long.
With such a weak body, he might die at any time. He hoped to understand the world, to see and hear more. Even if he got it from the mouths of two little monsters, he would cherish it very much. Monsters, I guess, that is also an extremely magnificent world.
However, when Oliver turned around and returned to his couch, he paused.
He seemed to hear someone laugh in his ear, a deep voice, but when he turned around and looked around, there was nothing.
Only the wind blew the curtains, and his servant's face, which had just woken up and was still dazed with marks, could be heard.
After the Su family had breakfast, Oliver started looking everywhere in his own yard. He was a man of his word, and since he had promised to help someone look, he would do his best.
He just kept muttering while searching, "A giant red-gold dragon that shines brightly? That's funny, right? If it really fell into my house, the whole house would collapse. How could I not find it?" The little monster was also stupid. Why was he rummaging in his bed?
Jaxon woke up from the ground in a daze in the morning and saw that something was wrong with their young master. Not only did he look very energetic, but he was also looking for something everywhere in a daze.
"Master, what are you looking for? I'll call someone to help me."
Oliver waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I just want to move around, I'm bored."
Jaxon nodded. He was also very happy. Today, their young master not only stopped coughing, but also seemed to be less afraid of the cold and could walk around, as if he had taken some magic medicine overnight.
"The Taoist priest is right!"
Oliver listened in confusion and turned to look at his servant.
"As expected, water brings life. It will be fine if it rains next time, young master."
Oliver also felt very comfortable and energetic today. He originally wanted to say that Taoist priests were all nonsense, but when he thought that there were even monsters in this world, he thought that Taoist priests must be really capable.
Before the master and servant could finish their conversation, someone knocked on the door.
"Jaxonzi, open the door. I have an invitation for the young master."
When Oliver heard that it was Mr. Jiang, she went to open the door herself.
Jiang Li saw Oliver open the door himself and said, "Ouch!", "Master, don't catch a cold."
"It's okay. I'm fine today. I just came out for a walk."
The old man saw that indeed, their master's sickly face was rosy today. It must be the old ginseng that the eldest young master bought from the palace at a high price that took effect!
After a while of greeting, Master Jiang handed the red invitation to Oliver, "This is Master Su Ming from our clan. He will be getting married in three days. The old master and the eldest master are not here. If you are feeling well, you can go and watch the fun. It will also be considered as a courtesy for our clan members. There will be a banquet in Denggao Pavilion tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"
Oliver nodded quickly, "Go, go, go!"
Jiang Li nodded, and went back to arrange the carriage and other accompanying personnel, making sure that the young master was well prepared and safe.
Oliver seldom goes out. Denggaoge is a well-known restaurant and he has wanted to go there for a long time, so he happily went back to the room to prepare.
But when passing by the small pond in the courtyard, he paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something. He asked Zhan'er to prepare some food and snacks, and placed them under the layers of lotus leaves, saying that they were for offering sacrifices to the gods.
Wait until the night is deep and the mansion is quiet.
The fat paw of a giant salamander rustled onto a piece of spring cake, quietly clenched it, and with a "splash", it grabbed it back into the water, and then swam away happily.
Before long, all sorts of little claws stretched out from under the shade of the flowers and leaves in the pond, and the pretty little treats were carefully looted.
Among the little demons who came out to look for their master, there was a rumor that there was a young master in Qionglin Town who was handsome and a very kind person!
