Chapter 153: Finding a Companion
"What should we do?" The horror cave is halfway up the Ghost Mountain. After several trips to the strange tree, they really have no strength left.
"Let's take a break first!" Fang Ci said helplessly. Although he still had strength, who could guarantee that Baoban and Erguiyan would still be there after going to the Terror Cave this time?
"Haha, with Lord Sanbaoban's help this time, the evil ghosts on the mountain will not be able to escape!" The administrator is very excited now, as if his long-cherished wish has finally come true.
"Mr. Administrator, why do you hate this ghost so much? Has it caused any trouble to the village over the years?" Fang Ci couldn't help but asked.
"No, but a ghost is still a ghost after all. Leaving it on Ghost Mountain will always be a hidden danger!" The administrator said confidently, as if he was the embodiment of justice.
"Then how can you be sure that the ghost is really bad? Did it really come down the mountain to attack the village? Did Sanbaoban really fight the ghost to protect the village?" Seeing the administrator's expression, Qishu probably knew the truth of the matter and couldn't help but speak up for the 'ghost'.
"Of course, this is a legend passed down from generation to generation in our Beishang Township. How could it be false?" As Baoban's number one fan, the administrator was so angry that his beard almost blew off when he heard Qishu dared to question Baoban's deeds.
"But the ghosts have been in the mountain for hundreds of years and have never come down to cause any harm, and Sanbaoban made a mess of Baoban Plaza and Beishang Center on the first day of its resurrection, right?" Qishu asked stubbornly.
"This... This must be because the masters were too impatient to defeat the evil spirits. This is just a necessary loss to eliminate the evil spirits!"
Seeing the administrator gritting his teeth when he mentioned the "evil ghost", people who don't know him might really think that there is some irreconcilable hatred between him and the "ghost".
"But is the story circulating in Beishang Township necessarily true? Could it be that Sanbaoban did something bad that caused Erguiyan to become furious and come down the mountain to fight them?" Seeing that the administrator was still wrongly accusing Erguiyan, Qishu could no longer bear it and told the truth he knew.
"Erguiyan? Is this the name of the ghost? It really sounds full of evil!" Hearing the name Erguiyan, the administrator became even more excited.
"Since you are outsiders and are not familiar with the history of our Beishang Township, I will not pursue you this time. But if you dare to slander Lord Baoban again next time, pack up your things and move out of my community center immediately!" After saying that, the administrator left angrily.
"But..." Seeing this, Qi Shu wanted to continue chasing and saying something, but was stopped by Fang Ci.
"He won't believe anything we say!" Fang Ci shook his head at Qi Shu.
"I know, but I'm really angry!" He knew the truth, but no one believed him when he told it. This frustrating feeling was about to drive him crazy.
"If I'm not mistaken, the green child that Xiaoqing chased that day must be Erguiyan. It seems that they must have had contact before. Now we should find Xiaoqing first. Well, I have a feeling that Erguiyan must be with them now!"
"Well, let's go back to the town first!" After being annoyed by the administrator's words, Qi Shu suddenly seemed to have endless strength. He pulled Fang Ci and walked towards Cuilv Town at the foot of the mountain.
"Ms. Qishu, Mr. Fang Ci, have you seen the Three Treasures?" Fang Ci and Qishu had just arrived in the town when they ran into Xiaoqing and the other two who were in a hurry.
"No, we just came down from the Northbound Center. Did anything happen?" Fang Ci asked when he saw the anxious looks of the three people.
"The Three Treasures are evil. Hundreds of years ago, they wanted to steal Ergui's mask and were defeated by Ergui. Today, after they revived, they stole the mask again and went to the Terror Cave to seek revenge on Ergui. If we hadn't arrived in time to drive them away, Ergui would have been in great danger!" Xiaoqing trusted Fang Ci and the others very much and told them what she had encountered today without reservation.
"We have to help Erguiyan get back the mask and bring the three companions to justice to clear Erguiyan's name!" Xiaoqing said, and Danyu on the side continued indignantly. When she thought of the injustice that Erguiyan had suffered over the years, she was so straightforward that she wanted to tear the three companions apart with her bare hands.
"Please let us help as well!" After hearing what Xiaoqing and Danyu said, Qi Shu, who understood what happened, immediately took the initiative to say.
"But~"
Because he was not familiar with the two people, there was obvious hesitation on Wu Li's face.
"Please let us help. To be honest, we came to Beishang Township this time to help Eguilang clear his grievances." Seeing this, Fang Ci said to the three people sincerely.
"Eh~?" Hearing Fang Ci's words, Xiaoqing and the other two cried out in surprise at the same time.
"Mr. Fang Ci, you also know about Erguiyan?"
"Of course, but before that, I want to confirm that Eruption is with you now, right?"
Hearing Fang Ci's question, Xiao Qing and the other two looked at each other hesitantly. Finally, Xiao Qing nodded to the two and said to Fang Ci, "That's right, but because the people in the village are very afraid of the evil spirit, it didn't follow us into the village but waited outside the village."
"Huh, I finally found it!" After getting the answer he wanted, Fang Ci let out a long sigh.
"Tao Dai Lang, come out and meet everyone!"
Under the surprised gazes of Xiaoqing and the other two, Fang Ci unzipped his backpack and carried out Tao Dailang, who looked ashamed.
"Mr. Fang Ci, what is this?" Danyu asked directly in confusion when she saw Fang Ci suddenly take out a timid-looking elf from his backpack.
"Its name is Tao Dai Lang. The reason why Sanbaoban tried to steal the mask of Erguilang was because of its instigation."
"Momo~"
Hearing Fang Ci bring up what happened back then again, Tao Dailang lowered his head even lower.
"what!!!"
Hearing Fang Ciyu's shocking words, Xiaoqing and the other two immediately took a few steps back unconsciously, while reaching for the Poké Balls at their waists.
Seeing the three people's big reactions, Fang Ci hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this guy has realized his mistake now. I brought him here this time just to apologize to Er Guiyan in person and help Er Guiyan clear his name."
"Do you know how much pain and grievance Erguilang has endured over the years? Do you want to put an end to all of this with an apology?" Upon hearing Fang Ci's words, the taciturn Wu Li suddenly exploded. Looking at Tao Dailang who lowered his head, he clenched his fists tightly, with his nails almost embedded in his palms.
"Of course I know all this. Although it's better than nothing, Tao Dailang and I will spend our entire lives atoning for the mistakes it made back then."
"Momo~"
After hearing Fang Ci's words, Tao Dailang finally raised his head and looked at Fang Ci, and the tears in his eyes instantly burst out like a flood.
"Mr. Fang Ci, can you tell me what is going on?" Xiao Qing was confused again about what happened between Tao Dailang, Sanbaoban, Eguilang and Fang Ci.
"This is what happened..." Qi Shu took the initiative to speak when he saw Fang Ci comforting Tao Dailang who was crying like a child.
As Qishu's beautiful voice told the story, their encounter with Eguilang at the claw machine, the riot at the Niaoguang City Airport, and the story told by Teacher Leihe, all the stories related to Tao Dailang were clearly presented to Xiaoqing and the other two.
After hearing Qishu's words, Xiaoqing and the other two were all sighing, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"In short, we must help you find the three companions. With Tao Dailang here, we will definitely make them apologize to Eguilang in front of all the villagers!" Fang Ci held Tao Dailang and bowed deeply to the three of them.
"We've made it clear in advance that whether or not to forgive them is a matter of evil!" Wu Li's tone was still tough, but he finally agreed to Fang Ci's request.
"Then let's split up and find out where Sanbaoban is!" Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, Xiaoqing smiled and clapped, and took the initiative to propose.
"it is good."
Seeing the sincere smile on Xiaoqing's face, Fang Ci seemed to understand why so many people were so optimistic about her and liked her.
The five people split into three groups and dispersed in different directions. About twenty minutes later, they gathered again in front of the square in front of the community center.
"We just asked the villagers and they said they saw Ji Zhiji flying towards Guishan!" As soon as the five of them gathered, the straightforward Danyu couldn't wait to speak.
"We also asked and heard that someone saw Gouzan dog running towards the Paradise Wasteland in the northwest direction!" Qishu continued.
"Well, I also asked about Yuan Zengyuan running towards the vine garden in the southwest." Xiaoqing said finally.
"So what should we do now?" Now that we know the location of the Three Treasures, we need to formulate the next action plan.
"Then why don't we just split up..."
Just when Xiaoqing was about to express her proposal, Tao Dailang, who had finally stopped crying in Fang Ci's arms, suddenly jumped out.
"Momo~"
Looking at Tao Dailang's determined eyes, Fangci seemed to understand what he meant: "You mean you want to find Ji Zhiji first, and then go find the other two companions with Ji Zhiji?"
"Momo~" Tao Dailang nodded heavily.
As long as it sees Jizhiji, it is 100% sure to convince it to take it to find the other two companions.
"Well, let's go find Ji Zhiji first!" Since Xiaoqing has chosen to trust Tao Dailang, she might as well choose to trust him to the end. It's getting late now, and the strength of Sanbaoban is not weak. If we split up into three groups, we may not be able to take them down. It would be a waste of time for five people to go together. If we want to solve this problem today, Tao Dailang is the best solution.
"Wuli and Danyu, you guys take good care of Erguiyan here. I'll take Mr. Fang Ci and Miss Qishu to look for Jizhiji first!" Xiaoqing turned around and said something to Danyu and Wuli, then took out a Poké Ball that looked a little different.
"I'll leave it to you from now on, Gulerton!"
"So~"
Fang Ci and Qi Shu were both startled when they saw the big red lizard suddenly appear in front of them.
"Mr. Fang Ci, Miss Qishu, please come up quickly!" Sitting on Gulden's back, Xiaoqing immediately extended her hand to the two of them.
"Okay, okay!"
After being frightened by Gulden's aura just now, Fang Ci realized that Gulden's expression was very friendly. He felt relieved and carefully sat on Gulden's back holding hands.
"So~"
After the three of them were seated firmly, Gulden jumped off from the spot, spread his feathery wings filled with primitive and savage energy, and glided towards the Ghost Mountain with the wind.
"Xiaoqing, is this Gultun?" Fang Ci asked curiously, looking at the mighty Gultun under him.
"Ah, Gulton is the elf entrusted to me by Dr. Olin." Xiaoqing replied with a smile.
"Dr. Olin? Is that the Dr. Olin who researched and invented the titanium crystal beads in Area Zero?" Qi Shu said excitedly when he heard this. You know, this name is a legend in the Padia area.
"That's right." When Xiao Qing mentioned Dr. Olin, he lowered his head with some disappointment, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"So, does that mean Gulden is also an elf from Area Zero?" The excited Qishu did not notice Xiaoqing's little emotions.
"Yes, there are many Pokémon in Area Zero that have never been discovered before. It is said that they are all Pokémon that came to the modern era from other times with the help of the time machine invented by Professors Olin and Fortu. We generally call them paradoxical Pokémon, so Leton is one of them." Xiaoqing answered patiently after cheering up.
"Paradox Pokémon? It sounds very interesting!" It was the first time that Fang Ci heard this name, and he couldn't help but become more curious about Area Zero.
"Xiaoqing, you have been to Area Zero, right?" When mentioning Area Zero, Qishu suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, but we entered without permission, and when we came out we were scolded by Chief Ye Ci and King Xin Li." Xiao Qing said a little embarrassedly.
"Then..." Qi Shu wanted to ask something else after hearing this, but Gulden under her suddenly trembled and interrupted her.
"We found Jichiji!"
Noticing Gulden's abnormality, the three of them looked down hurriedly and found Ji Zhiji taking a nap at the entrance of the Lengshui Cave in Guishan Mountain.
"Chirp~"
Sensing the breath of Gulden in the sky, Ji Zhiji woke up immediately and turned around to dive into the cold water cave.
"Momo~"
Just as Ji Zhiji turned around to escape, a very familiar voice suddenly came from above. Ji Zhiji hurriedly looked back and saw his master Tao Dailang flying towards him with red eyes.
"Chirp~"
Seeing Tao Dailang, Ji Zhiji immediately stopped and flapped its wings to greet Tao Dailang.
"Chirp~"
Coming in front of Tao Dailang, Ji Zhiji handed the red mask of Erguiyan to Tao Dailang like offering a treasure.
"Momo~" Seeing the mask handed to him, Tao Dailang shook his head gently, making Ji Zhiji panic instantly.
"Chirp~"
Ji Zhiji couldn't understand why Tao Dailang suddenly lost interest in the mask that he once loved so much.
"Momo~"
Tao Dailang explained something to Ji Zhiji, which made Ji Zhiji immediately lower his head in disappointment.
"Momo~"
Looking back at Fang Ci above, Tao Dailang knew that the most urgent task now was to find Gouzan Dog and Yuanzeng Yuan, so he shouted to Ji Zhiji.
"Chirp~"
Hearing Tao Dailang's request, Ji Zhiji did not hesitate at all. He carried Tao Dailang on his back and flew straight towards the northwest Paradise Wasteland, just like he did hundreds of years ago.
