Origin Chapter 321: Cuckoo
Jiang Nan did not ask what was taken away. Since Wu Zhongyuan said that he was taken away by something, it means that he did not know what was taken away.
"How was it taken away?" Jiang Nan asked.
"It was robbed just like that." Wu Zhongyuan looked dazed. Before, he just felt a flower in front of him, and then Tieshu was gone.
The old blind man and the second child woke up when they heard the sound. The second child helped the old blind man over to ask what was going on. Wu Zhongyuan didn't fully recover until this time. It looked like that, but a flower in front of him indicated that something ran past. As for what it was, he didn't know, the other party was so fast that he couldn't even see the outline clearly.
"Brother, did you make a mistake?" The second child asked suspiciously. Although Dasha was far away, Huang Maoer was lying on his back near Wu Zhongyuan. , If something really ran past, Huang Mao'er couldn't have been unaware.
"What a mess, what can I be wrong about?" Wu Zhongyuan looked closely and looked for traces of his opponents. He seldom really liked anything. He really liked this iron tree, and he liked it from the bottom of his heart. It was taken away inexplicably, anxious and annoyed.
"Is it the red-haired fox in Kunlun Mountains?" Jiang Nan raised his hand and pointed to the west, "You used the medicine pill to deceive it before, and it came to trouble you when it woke up."
"No," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "That little fox uses teleportation. The thing that snatched the Tieshu just now ran from south to north. I can feel the force of the drag is relatively strong, definitely not. Little fox."
Seeing that Jiang Nan wanted to talk, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again and said, "I said it must not be it, that phantom seems to be white, and its body is bigger than the little fox, and even if the little fox wants to trouble us, You should also grab the soul stone, why are you grabbing the iron tree?"
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Jiang Nan did not insist on his guess any longer, and said in a harmonious voice, "Don't worry, calm down and recall carefully, what do you think the other party is? Is it a human or some kind of alien?"
Wu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and recalled, "I was standing just now. This thing can make me see a flash, which means that I am not very small, and it is very likely to be a human being."
"Since it ran in front of you, have you smelled any unusual smells and breaths?" Jiang Nan asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer the call immediately, and continued to close his eyes to recall. He seemed to smell something just now. Because the smell was very light, he couldn't remember what it was for a while.
"It's the smell of alcohol," said the old blind man.
Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan and Jiang Nan turned to look at him.
"In addition to the smell of alcohol, there is also the smell of ape," said the old blind man. "It is very likely that the one who stole the cycads is the hunchback."
"Huang?" Wu Zhongyuan repeated with a frown. The pronunciation of **** is the same as that of an orangutan.
The old blind man explained, "The scorpion is a wild beast. It looks like an ape, but it is taller than an ape. It has two white ears. It is cunning.
After the old blind man finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately. The language at this time has a certain difference in meaning from the modern language. Cunning is a neutral word, which means cunning and cunning, as well as clever and clever. Playing is not simply teasing others, but generally refers to greed for play, like playing games, and also likes to tease people. The coming event generally refers to what happened before. It can be seen that the coming event is that this wild and wild beast named 狌狌 has a special ability to know what a person has experienced before.
"Sir, have you seen this kind of beast before?" Jiang Nan asked.
The old blind man shook his head, "No, I have only heard some legends about it. According to legend, this creature had a large population before, and there were people who tried to tame it. However, although this creature was well-mannered, it did not obey discipline. If you use it for farming, you will destroy the plough. If you use it in battle, you will turn your back on the front line. If you harvest the city wall, you will burn the house. If you drive it out, you will trample the grain. suffer.”
After the old blind man finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "How fast can it run?"
The old blind man shook his head, "I don't know how fast they can run, but no one can catch up with them. If you want to catch them, you can only lure them with alcohol. This thing is addicted to alcohol, even if you know it's a trap, you can't hold it back. No matter how hesitating and hesitating, you will eventually fall into the trap.
At this moment, the second child noticed something, pointed to a drooping branch and shouted at Wu Zhongyuan, "Brother, come and see."
Wu Zhongyuan walked over quickly, followed the point of the second child to look at the root of the tree, and saw obvious nail scratches on the branch. Those scratches were somewhat similar to the five fingers of humans, and they should belong to some kind of ape. .
Seeing the scratches on the branches, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized. No wonder there were no footprints left on the ground. It turned out that this thing grabbed the branches and swung over.
These scratches also confirmed the old blind man's guess that it should be this strange beast called the hunchback who stole the iron tree.
Wu Zhongyuan stood on the tree and looked around from a height, but did not find the figure.
Jumped down from the tree and asked the old blind man, "Sir, in your opinion, why did this thing take away the iron tree?"
"Playing, it may also be a curiosity about the iron tree," said the old blind man, "Huang is not good at using weapons, even if he robs the iron tree, it is of no use."
Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan could not laugh or cry, "If it is not good for oneself, why harm others?"
The old blind man didn't answer the question. It is estimated that only the hunchback can answer this question, and it may not even be able to answer it himself.
Jiang Nan asked, "Sir, why did it find us?"
The old blind man shook his head and said, "I can't say, maybe it's because you see that the adult cherishes the iron tree very much, and deliberately seizes the iron tree to make the adult sad and angry. It may also be that you cut the iron tree before it saw it, and it has a heart for it. I was curious, so I looked for opportunities to take it away and explore it.”
"What will it do with the iron tree?" Jiang Nan asked.
"It's hard to say, this thing is not very permanent, and it's not deliberate. No matter what you do, it's just a whim," said the old blind man. "It's boring after research and may be thrown away."
Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan frowned. He thought that the second child was already cheap enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone even more cheap. Do it the way.
"Sir, what did you mean when you said it can speak human language?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Can it speak human language, or can it understand human language?"
"It's unknown whether it can be spoken or not, but it is certain that it can be understood." The old blind man replied.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "It must not have gone far at this time. I shouted a few times from the heights to see if I could lead it back."
Seeing that there was no objection, Wu Zhongyuan jumped up, returned to the top of the tree, and shouted, "Huang, do you understand human speech?"
He used the jigging method, but I don't know whether the strength of the jigging was not enough or the chuan had gone too far. After shouting, he did not show up.
Wu Zhongyuan asked the old blind man under the tree in a low voice, "Sir, what is the mind of this thing?"
"Although it is cunning, it is still an anomaly," said the old blind man.
Wu Zhongyuan knew what to do, and raised his voice again and said loudly, "The scorpion can't run so fast, it must have been snatched by the little fox that can move instantly. Let's go, let's go to Kunlun Mountain."
After Wu Zhongyuan said that, there was still no abnormality around.
After pondering for a while, he gestured to the three of them, and when they boarded Dasha, he was given a lift to the sky. Since this thing likes to tease people, it will definitely not let him get what he wants, no matter what. Whatever he wants to do, he has to do it the other way around. If the hunchbacks are still nearby, he has to let them see that they really want to go to Kunlun Mountains.
After Dasha took off, the hunchback still didn't appear, so Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to jump up on Dasha's head.
At this moment, a gray-haired monkey suddenly swayed not far to the north. In fact, this thing is not a monkey, but it is not like an orangutan, but a kind of between monkeys, orangutans and baboons. A kind of ape, the two white ears also confirmed that it is the chuan the old blind man said.
Huang **** grabbed the vine and held it high, raising his right hand high, in order to show everyone the iron tree trunk that had been polished and smoothed by Wu Zhongyuan.
After proving to everyone that Tieshu was in its hands, the chuan hid in the forest and disappeared.
"Brother, what should I do?" asked the second child.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. What he was most worried about was that after robbing the Tieshu, he would run away. As long as it was still nearby, there would be the possibility of regaining the Tieshu.
Thinking of this, I ordered Dasha to fall to the ground.
After returning to the ground, Jiang Nanchong Wu Zhongyuan whispered, "You try to keep it, I'll go get some drinks and come back."
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I just killed the Ziqi master of the Bird Clan, you are going to the Bird Clan at this time..."
Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, the old blind man interrupted him, "Five hundred miles to the southeast is Qingxu, which is the same existence as Goat Valley and Yinma River. You can go there to get drinks."
"I'll try to get back before sunset." Jiang Nan said, raising his spirits so high that he turned into a green luan in the air and flew to the southeast.
Shortly after Jiang Nan left, Huanhou appeared. Across a small stream, Wu Zhongyuan and others were on the east bank of the lower reaches, and Huanhou was on the west bank of the upper reaches, sitting on the tree of a big tree, fifty miles from Wu Zhongyuan and others. Zhang or so.
Wu Zhongyuan has seen the appearance of this thing before, but this time he is looking at the eyes of this thing, the eyes are the windows to the soul, through the eyes, you can roughly see the nature of the thing, the eyes of the eagle contain many kinds of Emotions are four-point curiosity, three-point pride, two-point laughter, and one-point contempt.
Wu Zhongyuan can understand the latter emotions, but what makes him puzzled is that Tieshu doesn't seem to be interested in Tieshu, but is very interested in him, and occasionally looks at Huang Maoer and Dasha from the corner of his eye. Apparently, it had never seen either of these animals before.
Chen may understand human speech, but it doesn't seem to be able to speak, otherwise it wouldn't just keep looking at him and keep silent.
At first, Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why, but he finally realized that the animal can know the past, and he lived in modern times for more than ten years before him, and he may be very impressed by the things he has experienced. Interest, maybe because he can't see through what he's been through before.
When Huanxuan cast a curious look at Huang Maoer again, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly had a plan and hurriedly hugged Huang Maoer in his arms.
Seeing him like this, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the scorpion, and then there was a little more evil in the eyes.
"Give me back the stick and I'll treat you to a drink." Wu Zhongyuan delayed the time while confusing the enemy.
After Wu Zhongyuan said that, Huanxuan showed contempt, leaned on the branches of the tree, and swayed the iron tree trunk that had been cut into sticks.
"Sir, does he really understand human speech?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at the old blind man.
The old blind man hasn't spoken yet, and the second child said from the side, "Brother, you should be able to understand from the look on his face."
Wu Zhongyuan's move was just to delay time, and he didn't suspect that Huan Huan could not understand human words.
With the lessons learned from the past, the second child has learned to be smart this time. As soon as Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand, it handed over the lynx dragon stick.
Wu Zhongyuan took the lynx dragon stick in his hand, turned his head and said, "I'll exchange this stick with you."
Chen snorted and spit at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't intend to exchange it with it at first. Seeing it like this, he handed the lynx dragon stick to the second child, and then hugged Huang Mao'er nervously, with a look that was afraid that the eagle would come and **** it...
