Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao heard this and patted the water bag on his waist with a playful look on his face.

"Mr. Shi, if you are thirsty, you don't need to pick any green plums. I have ready-made clear water here."

Shi Jie's face was embarrassed and he explained,

"Actually, my mouth is a little tasteless, and I want to pick some green plums to relieve my craving. Do you want them?"

This is the truth. The vicious and stubborn person also likes wine and meat, and likes to sing and watch operas. This is a hobby.

Not every martial artist is like a madman, putting all his energy and mind on martial arts.

Shi Jie likes green plums, or sour plums. It is not so difficult to understand when he says it. At most, it is a little embarrassing.

After all, he usually has the style of a master, but he is greedy like a child, which is really embarrassing.

But everyone has his own weakness. When he sees green plums, he eats them. This is a habit that Shi Jie has developed since he was young. He has been with him for so many years and can't change it, nor does he want to change it.

Meng Zhao nodded, and in the dimming light, he looked at the lush green plum forest and said, "Okay, then please ask Mr. Shi to pick some green plums for me and Uncle Zhong to quench our thirst." Before Shi Jie finished listening, he had already rushed out like a monkey, looking impatient and frivolous. Lu Zhong stepped forward at this time, and saw that Meng Zhao looked at Shi Jie with a solemn and worried look, and his lips moved, and he said in a secret voice, "Master, don't worry, this green plum forest was transplanted by an old fruit farmer with 30 years of experience. It cost a lot, and the soil on it was turned over and kept perfectly. He can't see any clues." Meng Zhao didn't think there was anything perfect in the world, and there were no clues. He could only say that he did his best and left it to fate. This time, he came to Longshou Mountain with Shi Jie and Lu Zhong to take Tu Xiu's treasure. It was a great risk, but it was also a last resort. After all, according to Shi Jie, the door to the secret realm of Dongtian must be opened with more than two keys.

Otherwise, Shi Jie would have opened the treasure long ago, and there was no need to tell Meng Zhao about it, causing so much trouble.

Judging from the power ratio alone, he, a post-natal person, basically has no sense of existence. Lu Zhong is old and his cultivation is not as good as Shi Jie's, so he and Lu Zhong together are not Shi Jie's opponent.

Besides, the relationship between the two is also superficial, and if the other party attacks him, he will definitely not be soft-hearted.

Of course, it is not impossible to find other masters of the Meng Mansion to protect him, but in this way, it is bound to reveal the matter of Tu Xiu's treasure, which is a dilemma. After weighing the pros and cons, he still gave up.

In the case that his own strength is not as good as the other party, Meng Zhao naturally has to focus on the crooked way.

Before being taken away by Jiumo Luo, the demon bat told Meng Zhao with hatred that Shi Jie liked sour plums and would eat them whenever he saw them. Sour plums are also called green plums, so Meng Zhao spent so much effort to transplant a green plum forest to plot against Shi Jie.

As for whether it would succeed, Meng Zhao did not dare to guarantee it, but looking at Shi Jie's performance, he was 50% sure.

Not long after, Shi Jie rushed back with a cool breeze, and spread out the leather in his hand with great interest, revealing the moist and shiny green plums hidden inside.

His eyes were fiery, but he seemed very cautious. He first picked two big ones from the inside and gave them to Meng Zhao and Lu Zhong, and then said a little hurriedly,

"Meng boy, try it quickly and see how it tastes?"

Sure enough, even though Shi Jie had this flaw, he was still very vigilant and did not take it rashly. Instead, he let Meng Zhao and Lu Zhong taste it first before he was willing to eat it.

This is also an old hand. In the most difficult times in the past, in order to avoid poisoning, they often only drank water that others had drunk and ate dishes that others had eaten. Although it was not very hygienic, they had to do so for the sake of life.

Like sharing green plums, it was just a small matter.

Meng Zhao's expression did not show any abnormality. He calmly took the green plum, threw out a silk handkerchief embroidered with his name from his sleeve and wiped it gently, then opened his mouth and took a bite. The juice splashed out and was clearly seen by Shi Jie.

"Well, it tastes good, sour and sweet, Mr. Shi, you should try it too!"

Shi Jie did not start, but watched Lu Zhong also stuffed one into his mouth, and then he was relieved and enjoyed the first delicacy that he must eat with interest.

Meng Zhao and Lu Zhong tasted it and exhaled, and their hearts were much more at ease, of course, it was mainly Lu Zhong.

In his opinion, this green plum is an extremely important back-up for this trip. If it succeeds, Meng Zhao's safety will be greatly guaranteed. If not, even if he gets the huge treasure, he is afraid that he will not be able to enjoy it alive.

Meng Zhao was different. The green plum line was only his secondary guarantee, his real trump card. He had kept it since the moment he rescued Shi Jie, but he didn't tell others.

After pausing for about two incense sticks, seeing Shi Jie picking green plums three times in a row, and not getting enough, Meng Zhao had to remind him,

"Mr. Shi, it's getting late, shouldn't we set off and do business?

Anyway, this green plum forest grows here and can't be moved away. When you come back, you can pick as much as you want.

At worst, I'll hold a celebration banquet when I return home, and you can enjoy whatever you like, Mr. Shi, is that okay?"

Shi Jie realized that he had wasted some time, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He said,

"It's my fault. Let's set off now."

But just as he was about to leave, he stopped again for some reason and said,

"We are about to reach the ninth peak. The gate to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm is at the top of the peak. Before we go there, I have a few words to remind you.

First, only those who hold the treasure key can enter the secret realm. So, Mr. Lu, if we really get there, I can only trouble you to wait outside. Meng and I will go in first."

"You don't have to worry about Meng's safety. The key in our hands is no different from scrap metal in this world.

But once you enter the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, you can use this treasure key as a medium to control the power of heaven and earth in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, just like a master.

So Therefore, Meng has the ability to protect himself, you can rest assured. "

Shi Jie first reassured Meng Zhao and Lu Zhong, and continued, "Second, I want to say that the secret realm of Dongtian is too mysterious. We don't know what dangers and traps there are. The treasure map in my hand is not complete, so after entering, Meng, you can't act on your own. You must follow my arrangements in everything, so that you can get the most benefits. "

When the matter came to an end, Shi Jie also revealed the bottom line and admitted that the map in his hand was incomplete, which was contrary to what he said to Meng Zhao before that he had a complete map in his hand.

But at this moment, there was no time to pursue these.

Lu Zhong's thin and old face wrinkled into a ball, and just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Meng Zhao.

He looked at Shi Jie, who seemed innocent and kind-hearted, and smiled gently, trustingly, "Okay, I trust Mr. Shi. If we work together, we will both benefit. If we separate, we will both suffer. Now that we have entered the secret realm, please give me more advice." The three of them discussed these things and without further delay, they hurried to the ninth peak at lightning speed.
