Chapter Twenty-Three: Waiting for Him to Come Home

Speaking of sadness, Xuantie Tree's face was about to wrinkle, "Our Xuantie Divine Tree clan is already rare, and our cultivation speed is naturally slower than others, we have been growing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, there is no quarrel with the world, and we absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day to cultivate."

The expression on Xuantieshu's face slowly stretched out as he recalled the beauty of the past.

"But thousands of years ago, the emperor of the world suffered from a serious illness, and I don't know who said that the Xuantie tree is an ominous tree, growing on the dragon vein, and absorbing dragon qi every day. Such nonsense, the emperor actually believed it. ”

Recalling this, Xuantie Shu seemed to think of something quite hateful, and continued through gritted teeth, "In order to fear that his position as emperor would be unstable, he listened to rumors, and sent three thousand soldiers overnight to set a fire on Kunlun Mountain, wanting to burn my Xuantie Divine Tree clan. ”

Qin Jiu didn't expect that she would ask such a tragic past when she asked casually, she patted the trunk of the Xuantie Tree at a loss, and the Xuantie Tree relieved itself from the memories and calmed down slightly for a moment.

"On that day, the Divine Monarch passed through Kunlun, saw the fire on Kunlun Mountain, and summoned rain clouds, so that other creatures on Kunlun Mountain escaped a catastrophe, and brought me back from the mountain, and planted me on this Wufu Mountain, and it took thousands of years to grow into this current appearance, but all my other kind, because of a slander from others, they were all buried in the fire."

Qin Jiu comforted him softly, "Maybe there are still survivors on Kunlun Mountain at that time, if I pass by one day, I will definitely help you go and see."

Xuantieshu knew that she was kind, and nodded in response. It's just that I know very well in my heart that he was at the outermost part of the flame that day, and his roots were burned down.

It was also by being close to the Divine Monarch and being nourished by the Divine Qi that he could come back to life, not to mention those companions who were close to the center of the flames.

The sky was getting darker, and the temperature in the mountains began to drop, and Xuantieshu patted Qin Jiu's head, "Before it gets dark, go back quickly, it will be very cold later." ”

Qin Jiu came out in the afternoon wearing a thin dress, which would be a little chilly when she heard him say, she stood up and said goodbye to Xuantie Shu, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you another day." ”

Xuantieshu pointed to his own fruit, and asked Qin Jiu very enthusiastically if he wanted to take two back to eat at night.

Qin Jiu hurriedly shook his head, and Xuantieshu was a little disappointed, "Am I really so unpalatable?" ”

Qin Jiu nodded sincerely, "Sour." ”

"Then the one I gave you later should be a little special, right?" The Darkiron Tree still didn't give up, and then asked.

Qin Jiu followed the words and said, "Well, it's very sour. ”

Xuantieshu was completely disappointed, and hurriedly waved the branches, telling Qin Jiu to hurry back.

Qin Jiu took advantage of the fact that the sky was still a little bright, and groped his way back to the house. There was no light in the room, it was very gray, Qin Jiu didn't know where the light was, and he didn't find it after looking for a long time.

It was getting darker and darker, and Zhili still didn't come back, so Qin Jiu had to sit on the door frame, staring at the dark night and waiting for Zhili to return.

At this time, just after discussing things with the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven sent him to the gate of Heaven with a smile, and only after seeing him disappear in the distance did he touch his beard and walk back.

In the heavenly palace, there was no day and night, and when he left the nine heavens, he found that it was already nightfalling. He thought of Qin Jiu on the mountain, and his feet were a little faster, but with a stick of incense, he saw the peak of Wufu Mountain.

When he returned to Wufu Mountain, he saw that the house was pitch black, and Qin Jiu was leaning on the door frame and was drowsy at this time, when he suddenly saw someone coming from a distance, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked at the person carefully.

Seeing that Zhili was back, she suddenly smiled, and trotted from the door frame to Zhili, "Shenjun, you're back." ”

Zhili was slightly stunned when he saw the villain running over, in the past 10 million years, he has traveled to countless places, but for the first time, someone is waiting for him to return home.

Zhili thought of the appearance of seeing her fall asleep just now, guessing that she should have waited for a long time, and it is estimated that she had never used dinner, and at this time, seeing that she had not complained, but was very happy, she felt a little guilty in her heart.

"Why don't you go to sleep by yourself when you're sleepy?" Zhili asked as he walked into the room with her.

"Because I'm waiting for you to come back." Qin Jiu didn't think twice, in fact, it was mainly because she couldn't reach the stove, but she was embarrassed to say this.

Zhili felt warm in his heart because of these words, his long sleeves waved slightly, and the lights around him were bright, he lowered his head and asked softly, "You haven't used dinner yet, right?" ”

Qin Jiu didn't expect him to suddenly lower his head, his face looked more warm and jade in the light, she only felt that there was a starry sky hidden in his eyes, and now she was standing under this starry sky.

Qin Jiu was fascinated by beauty for a while, his heart was beating very fast, his face was flushed, he completely forgot what Zhili asked, and only stammered: "I... I'm hungry. ”

Zhili nodded and went out to the kitchen. I went to the market in a hurry that day, so I only bought some grains, and took some lotus seeds, barley and glutinous rice, and still boiled sweet porridge in the evening as in the morning.

I don't know why, thinking that Qin Jiu waited all afternoon, I always felt that a bowl of porridge owed her a little, after all, I really missed the time today.

Leaving her here, although on the one hand, because of the fall of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, she has nowhere to go, on the other hand, it is also for her own selfishness, wanting to confirm whether there are fragments of that person's spirit body hidden in her body, and in this case, she should take good care of her.

Zhili looked at the moon hanging high outside the window, and at this moment, he was afraid that there would be no shops open at the bottom of the mountain, he thought about it, his mind moved slightly, and his hand lightly tapped on the table a few times.

Qin Jiu smelled the smell of food in the house, quickly climbed off the stool, trotted to the kitchen, stepped into the kitchen door, and suddenly his eyes straightened.

I saw that the huge table was full of delicacies, which were steaming hot at the moment, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

Qin Jiu's brain didn't react, her calves had spontaneously climbed onto the stool and sat down, and when she saw her coming, she handed her the porridge in her hand, Qin Jiu quickly took it and thanked her, and then waited with a blank look to stop leaving and sit down.

Zhili pulled out the stool and sat down, signaling that she didn't have to wait for herself, and that she would use it herself. Qin Jiu was not pretentious, and raised his chopsticks to the rib clip he was thinking about.

The pork ribs on the table were full of color and fragrance, and Qin Jiu's chopsticks stretched straight towards it, and then went straight through it, touching the stone table below, making a crisp sound.

Qin Jiu's movements froze for two seconds, frowning suspiciously, and then shifting his target, stretching his chopsticks to another dish, still as before.

Qin Jiu leaned out hesitantly, and the whole person was half-lying on the stone table, and her small hand waved on the table a few times, only to see her hand go straight through the dishes that looked unusual.

Qin Jiu raised his head from the table and looked at Zhili with a confused expression, "Shenjun, haven't I woken up yet?" ”
