34-The Deal with the Blue Bird

Outside the courtyard, Lu Li came again.

For seven whole days, he would come here basically once a day.

One is to discuss something with Xiao Ling, and the other is to come over to see Lao Niu's physical condition.

But Lao Niu's condition is getting weaker and weaker day by day, anyone can see that Lao Niu's life is not long.

Standing outside the courtyard, Lu Li remained silent.

He didn't know what to say to comfort Xiao Ling, so he just shook his head and turned to leave.

In the courtyard, Xiao Ling gently stroked the old cow's head.

In fact, he also understood, how could the old cow become a demon in just a few days? Everything is just his imagination.

The old cow's breathing gradually weakened, and when he opened his eyes, the turbidity in his eyes had disappeared and became clear.

His spirit seemed to be getting better, he leaned his head against Xiao Ling's body and kept rubbing, a bullish smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Ling's withered palm paused in the air, and he did not put it down for a long time.

A smile was forced on his face, and finally he put his hand on the old cow's head and stroked it slowly.

"Go to sleep, sleep will be fine."

The old cow's movements gradually became weaker, and the sound of breathing became inaudible.

Xiao Ling's eyes darkened, and his body trembled

undetectably, this moment still came.

Just when Xiao Ling fell into sadness, a voice broke into his mind.

"Boy, let's make a deal!"

Xiao Ling frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he softly said "OK".

...

On the morning of the eighth day, Lu Li came again.

He has already sent people to check all the places Xiao Ling gave, and will make a decision after arriving at the place according to the situation.

In order to ensure everything was safe, he specially sent three Grandmasters to Shilin City.

Talismans, military talismans, and imperial edicts should all be prepared in order to ensure that there will be no unexpected situations when the time comes.

After all, Stone Forest belongs to the border area, and there are many spies from other countries, so it is best to be well prepared.

According to Xiao Ling, this thing is related to Dayu's future, so Lu Li had to be more cautious.

The body of the old cow was still placed there in the yard, but Xiao Ling himself did not see the figure.

Lu Li sighed deeply, it seems that Xiao Ling still failed to save Lao Niu's life, maybe he was sad in the house after being hit.

It seems that cultivating the Tao is not a panacea!

Pushing open the courtyard door, Lu Li walked in gently and stood in front of the old cow, staring quietly at the old cow.

He didn't have much affection for Lao Niu, so he couldn't understand Xiao Ling's feelings.

A dead cow cannot be brought back to life, it is better to have someone bury the old cow as soon as possible.

He wasn't worried about Xiao Ling either.

With Xiao Ling's character, sadness was only temporary, and he would be on the right track soon.

It's just that I still need to ask Xiao Ling about how to bury the old cow, so as not to make him unhappy.

Looking down and seeing the old cow opened his big eyes and looked at him, Lu Li was taken aback for a moment:

"Did the old cow open his eyes just now?"

? ? ?

Lu Li suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and his hands and feet trembled slightly as if he couldn't control it.

Cheating, cheating?

He tentatively called out to the old cow:

"Niu, Uncle Niu?"

The old cow showed a standard cow-like smile, nodded to Lu Li and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"What are you talking about outside? Don't come in yet!"

Xiao Ling's voice came from inside the house, making Lu Li slightly relieved.

He looked at Lao Niu with a rather strange look, and he was sure that based on yesterday's situation, Lao Niu would definitely not be able to survive.

People die in the palace every year, no matter whether it is violent death or execution, he has seen many people even if they died of old age.

From the appearance of the old cow, one could tell that his lifespan was over, but he was still alive today.

And the mental head looks pretty good, without the cloudiness that would appear in the eyes of a dying person, on the contrary, it is very clear.

A sense of enlightenment appeared in Lu Li's heart, it seemed that Xiao Ling had not failed but had succeeded.

Just don't know what price he paid?

Slowly pushing open the closed door, Xiao Ling

appeared in Lu Li's eyes.

At the moment Xiao Ling is cultivating with a spirit stone in his hand, his appearance stunned Lu Li who entered the door.

It was not until a long time passed that Lu Li said dryly,

"Master, why are you doing this?"

In Lu Li's eyes, Xiao Ling was even older than yesterday, his face was wrinkled and mottled.

Eye bands are aggravated, forehead lines are increased, lines are connected into lines, and skin tone is dull...

From the perspective of a normal person, Xiao Ling has absolutely no reason to live.

Combined with the old cow who survived outside the door, Lu Li seemed to understand what happened.

"It just so happens that you are here, let's go to the treasure house again."

Xiao Ling still spoke in the same unhurried manner, as if he was indifferent to the passing of Shouyuan.

Lu Li opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he nodded in agreement.

It was still Xiao Ling who pulled Lu Li, went all the way in stealth, opened various traps and stood in front of the heavy gate.

"Don't go in this time, there may be unforeseen dangers."

Hearing Xiao Ling's order, Lu Li nodded and stood outside the door.

The transaction has already started, both parties should maintain the most basic trust and reduce unnecessary suspicion.

The most important thing is to be calm, no matter what happens to Xiao Ling at this time.

Lu Li believed that Xiao Ling was not an idiot, since he dared to do this, he must have a way to delay his death.

So, just wait!

The oil lamps above the head were lit one by one,

illuminating the dark treasure house.

Still on the previous road, Xiao Ling walked towards the depth step by step.

The black cauldron appeared in his eyes, but it didn't float in the air at this time, but fell into the incomplete wall.

Perhaps knowing Xiao Ling's arrival, Hei Ding slightly floated up to be at the same level as his sight.

"Boy, what do you think about what I said?"

Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "You know this is impossible!"

"So there's no need to waste effort."

Lan Que got angry when he heard the words, and said anxiously:

"Boy, there are some things that should not be

repeated again and again!"

"You lied to me last time, and I haven't even settled the score with you. How dare you play tricks on me this time?"

"Do you think I, Blue Bird, can't do anything about you?"

"Annoy the ancestor, the ancestor will risk his life not to make you look good, you are still a little tender to fight with the ancestor!"

"The ancestor has been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, and he understands countless secret methods and supernatural powers. Isn't it easy for you to catch a little energy?"

"And I taught you the secret method to save the cow, but I just ask you to send me a mortal, mere mortals don't know what you are hesitating about?"

Xiao Ling was silent for a while:

"You don't have much time, do you?"

The blue bird's face changed when he heard the words, but he rarely refuted.

He knew that Xiao Ling was not an idiot, he could tell from these two confrontations.

This damn qi-gathering boy is full of tricks, and he will fall into his trap if he is not careful, so it is useless even if he does not admit it.

Seeing that the blue bird was silent, Xiao Ling showed a faint smile:

"For the sake of helping me save the old cow, I promise to take you out."

"And I guarantee that you will not dissipate under the condition of my own safety."

"However, your request is definitely not acceptable!"

"First of all, I don't know the origin of your identity, and secondly, once you have a body, there are too many variables."

"I'm just a little Qi Qi, and I can't cope with too complicated a situation."

"That's why I'm really relieved that you stay in the black cauldron."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Lan Que said anxiously:

"How is this possible?"

"You all know that I'm about to dissipate, if I stay in the black cauldron, wouldn't I be close to death? "

In this way, what deal do I have with you?"

"Even if you take me out, what's the use?"

Xiao Ling sneered:

"Don't take me for a fool!"

"You have been sealed for thousands of years, and the Black Cauldron is like your home. How could you die?"

"Even if you break free from the seal and your vitality is severely injured, isn't it still dead?"

"I can provide you with resources to keep you alive, but it's best for you to be restrained by the black cauldron."

"This way I feel at ease!"
