Although Chu Zhen didn't see the face of the other party very clearly, he could really feel the aura of stagnant water on the other party's body.

That kind of pool, which is like the bloodiest in hell, seems to be calm, but actually hides a strong sense of death and a chilling darkness.

There was a vague fragrance floating in the air, a very faint fragrance of pills, and when it invaded the tip of the nose, it seemed to carry a kind of astringent breath of death.

Chu Zhen thought that the owner of Chunxiang Pavilion would be someone he knew, but he didn't expect it to be the person standing at the door.Now that I think about it carefully, many side details also more or less hinted at the identity of the other party.

The flowers and plants blooming at the same time in the yard are obviously not in the same solar term, and the two plasters in Tong Xiang's hand that have a quick repair effect.If their maker is a 'person' who has been refining various elixirs for a long time, some doubts would make sense.

Because he is a tree demon, he has a natural affinity for plants, and because he is a highly skilled alchemist, he has the ability to refine pills with strange effects.

Chu Zhen looked calmly at the man in the backlight.After the initial surprise, the emotions have already adjusted.

"Long time no see." Chu Zhen spoke first.It was a very common greeting, natural, but not familiar, which kept the relationship between the two parties at a safe distance.

The man in the backlight did not respond to Chu Zhen's words, but walked in directly from the door.The man walked not slowly, step by step, each step was very steady.As the opponent continued to approach, the scent of medicine in the air became stronger.

Compared with the scent of pills mixed with a faint smell of blood from the other party's body when they first met, the blood in the scent is almost inaudible at this time.

Correct and handsome facial features, pale and bloodless skin, lifeless eyes, and faint blue blood vessel lines on his face.

Muhuai, the tree demon who was hunted down by Taishang Laojun himself after escaping from Sun Wukong, met in such an environment after they had spent several months.

This reminded him of Amu Guhan's description of Mu Huai in the Confucian Fantasy Kingdom. Now it seems that his guess about the opponent's strength was not wrong.When Mu Huai was fighting Sun Wukong, he might not have used his real strength. As for the reason why he didn't use his real strength, it might be restricted by something.

He doesn't want to think about why the tree demon captured by Taishang Laojun himself is safe and sound. It looked like this on the surface before, and it appeared here.

Use the theorem of the background theory of Journey to the West to guess, Mu Huai, which side is behind him?

At that time, he thought that Muhuai arrested him and Sha Wujing because of his Taoism, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

interesting, really interesting...

Chu Zhen smiled suddenly, and an elusive emotion appeared in his dark eyes.

Mu Huai glanced at Monkey King blankly, and after turning his gaze back and forth between Monkey King and Chu Zhen, he also smiled.Compared to the clearly visible smile on Chu Zhen's face, he just twitched the corner of his lips slightly, mechanically and lifelessly.

"Ah! It's you! That monster!" Tang Seng's cry broke the slightly weird silence, and because he was too surprised, he bounced off the stool directly.

"Amitabha, you were not taken away by the Taishang Laojun, how could you be the boss here!" Tang Seng's face was unbelievable, and the whole person was already in a state of fog.

Mu Huai just glanced at Tang Seng indifferently, and then turned his gaze to Chu Zhen and Monkey King, with an indifferent light in his red pupils, and said slowly in a slightly hoarse voice: "Fate is a very wonderful thing. , whether it is a chess piece that keeps going every step of the way according to the original track, or an ignorant prisoner who is deeply trapped in the emotional swamp, after the two are marked with the same mark by a hand that can be called nothingness, at a certain time, they will meet each other It's only natural."

"So this is fate..." The smile on Chu Zhen's face grew stronger.He is sure that this is definitely the longest sentence he has ever heard Mu Huai say.

Leaving aside the mysteries hidden in the words for the time being, the attitude you should have should be displayed.

"Sit." He made a gesture of invitation to Mu Huai, signaling him to take the seat opposite to him.The attitude is natural as if this is his home, and Mu Huai is just an ordinary visitor of his.

After Muhuai sat down, Sun Wukong asked: "Longjing or Biluochun?" At the same time, he picked up the empty cup placed on the table without haste, as if he was a master, and he sang with Chu Zhen, which was quite similar. A bit like an ordinary couple.

Muhuai raised his eyelids, and when Chu Zhen and Sun Wukong thought he would not answer, his lips moved and he uttered three words: "Biluochun."

Chu Zhen raised his eyebrows, and when Monkey King was pouring tea for Mu Huai, he said to Mu Huai like an old acquaintance: "You seem to have changed a little."

Not only has it changed a little, it is quite different from the taciturn, gloomy Muhuai he remembered a few months ago.

Is it Muhuai's nature, or other reasons?

As the tea was poured out slowly, a faint fragrance of tea permeated the air, subtly blending with the scent of the medicine on Mu Huai's body.

Mu Huai took the tea from Sun Wukong's hand, his eyes collided with Sun Wukong's in the air, and after a second, the two moved away as if nothing had happened.Mu Huai looked at Chu Zhen, and said in a slightly dry voice, "You have changed a little."

Tang Seng, who was unintentionally ignored by the three people, looked at the three people sitting around the wooden table with some horror at the moment.Although the picture now looks very natural and harmonious, like an old friend who hasn't seen him for many years and finally meets and expresses his heart, Tang Seng feels that it is inexplicably weird and dangerous, with a feeling of cold swish, accompanied by a trace of There are faint depressions and undercurrents.

Wujing, Master misses you so much_(:_」∠)_

"I believe we will have a very pleasant conversation next." Chu Zhen's feeling has always been accurate, and Mu Huai's identity is by no means as simple as an ordinary tree demon.He knew a lot of things that they didn't know, but they were crucial to them. Letting them wait here might not just be unilaterally preparing to do something to them.Just like what the other party said after coming in, there is the same mark between them that can be called hypocrisy.

The relationship between them and Mu Huai is an enemy rather than an enemy, a friend rather than a friend.

Under this relationship, both parties can try a certain mutual utilization but win-win model.

Muhuai took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "Of course." After a pause, he said again: "I will answer your questions, whether they are true or not."

True or not?

Can it be understood as half-truth?

After thinking about it, Chu Zhen said directly: "Gao Cuilan knows you?"

"know."

Sun Wukong asked: "You taught her Taoism?"

Mu Huai slowly turned the teacup, and replied calmly: "I taught it."

Chu Zhen and Sun Wukong looked at each other thoughtfully.

He remembered that the time when he entered this body was not too long after the Gaojiazhuang incident. In addition to subduing Sha Wujing, he experienced the old mother of Lishan and three Bodhisattvas testing his Zen mind and some little monsters until Later, I met Baigujing and Muhuai.In fact, this period did not last long, not even a month.

If Mu Huai started teaching Gao Cuilan Taoism after Zhu Bajie left Gao Laozhuang with Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, even if Gao Cuilan was talented, it would be impossible for Gao Cuilan to learn such profound Taoism in a short period of time, let alone defeat him easily. Win Sha Wujing.Unless Mu Huai continued to teach Gao Cuilan Taoism in a hidden place after he escaped from Monkey King.

There is also a possibility that after Muhuai escaped, he deliberately went to find Gao Cuilan, and then began to hand in Gao Cuilan's Taoism.

The latter is okay, it can only show that Muhuai was defeated by Monkey King, and specially followed their identities to investigate their past.Through this investigation, I found out that Gao Cuilan was there, and then carried out a series of plans, including today's meeting, trying to use Gao Cuilan's hatred for Zhu Bajie to achieve a certain purpose.

But if it's the former, things are much more complicated.That shows that their encounter with Muhuai was a purposeful and planned encounter from the very beginning.

Of course, there is another possibility that Muhuai's words are not true.

At the very beginning of the conversation, Muhuai pointed out that the truth of what he said was uncertain, but it was easier for the listener to fall into a psychological dilemma of falsehood and truthfulness.

It is a very smart monster, with strategy, good at hiding, calm, and powerful enough.

When Mu Huai first appeared, he also lamented that a rebel boss like Mu Huai should not have appeared at that time.

Thinking about it now, the appearance of the other party at that time was like when the protagonist was fighting monsters in the game, those big bosses who either showed their backs, or made a sound, or flashed a frightening side in the dungeon.The only difference is probably that the wooden locust brush has existed for a little longer.

Sure enough, his intuition was correct, Mu Huai would meet them again, at a certain time and place.

And now, is the best proof.

It's a wonderful thing to think about.

Although Chu Zhen's mind was full of thoughts, it was only a few seconds in reality.

Mu Huai looked at Chu Zhen quietly, his eyes were as calm and deadly as ever, but if you look closely, you will find that the dark and unclear emotions in the depths of those red eyes are inadvertently revealed, indicating that he is not actually at the moment. It's not as peaceful as it looks on the surface.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Mu Huai said, because of drinking tea, the originally slightly dry and hoarse voice was also a little clearer. "Your doubts are far more than that."

When he said this, he didn't have any elements of contempt, as if he was just stating an ordinary fact, without any other emotions.

Chu Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and stopped beating around the bush, but directly asked a question that he cared about most——

"Who is behind you?"
