Chapter 154: A Three-hundred-Year-Old Man
After Dongfang Shuo said goodbye, he left the palace with the white wolf.
And he had just walked out of the palace when Feng Hao appeared in front of him.
"Brother Zhao, I'll send you out. Feng Hao said.
Dongfang Shuo nodded: "It's okay." ”
"The back garden of the Fox Palace is beautiful, we walked from there. Feng Hao said, "The post house where the Fox Emperor's distinguished guests live is in the east of the city, and if you walk from the back garden, Brother Zhao can also save some unjust roads." ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded again, noncommittal.
Along the way after that, Dongfang Shuo passed by the patrolling guards more than a dozen times.
However, this also made him sigh a little, in this huge Fox Palace, the most are these guards, if there are no these guards, the entire Fox Palace will probably look empty.
And along the way, Feng Hao always talked to Dongfang Shuo about something that he didn't have, and he always felt that there was something, and he wanted to stop talking.
"Do you have something to ask me?"
Dongfang Shuo suddenly stopped and took the initiative to ask.
At this time, they have stepped into the back garden of the Fox Palace, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the four seasons are evergreen, if they are idle to walk in it and enjoy the beautiful scenery, it can be regarded as a great joy in life.
Asked by this, Feng Hao stopped and looked back at Dongfang Shuo.
"Yes, I have one thing along the way, and I want to ask Brother Zhao about it. ”
"Then you just ask. Dongfang Shuo looked at him.
Vaguely, he also knew what Feng Hao was going to ask.
"Are you and Dongfang Shuo really friends?" asked Feng Hao.
Sure enough.
Dongfang Shuo sighed in his heart.
For Feng Hao, Dongfang Shuo is the enemy's apprentice.
Not an enemy, but an enemy.
It was not Du Qingxue who really killed Feng Hao's father, but the mercenary old things of the Feng family. He once swore in front of Zhao Yihuo and in front of his father's tomb that he would let Du Qingxue kneel in front of the tomb to apologize.
He didn't want to kill Du Qingxue, but at the same time, he also deeply understood that Du Qingxue was an enemy. Du Qingxue's apprentice, of course, is also an enemy.
And Zhao Yihuo, who brought him hope, is a benefactor, and he has always admired and admired the most.
What a sad thing it is that enemies and benefactors are friends
"Yes. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded and said.
"Thank you for giving me such an answer. ”
Feng Hao exhaled a long breath and said with a smile, "Along the way, I was thinking about when to ask and how to ask, but I didn't expect you to find out first, Brother Zhao." Okay, I'm done with what I want to ask, let's go. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded.
The two moved on.
However, in this back garden, before he took a few steps, in a pavilion by an artificial lake, Dongfang Shuo saw a person.
It was a man dressed in plain white, with gray hair that was not entirely white, and silver threads fell all over his head.
The man looked at the lake, with his back to Dongfang Shuo and the others.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the back of that person, squinted his eyes, and asked, "This should not be a person from the fox clan, but a person from the human race, who is he?"
"I don't know his name, but the people in the Fox Emperor's Palace call him His Royal Highness. Feng Hao said, "He is the biological father of the new Fox Emperor. ”
"Biological Father"
Dongfang Shuo was stunned, "The demon clan and humans can also reproduce, won't there be problems?"
"Brother Zhao, you may have seen too much of those wild histories, the demon race and the human race can also reproduce, and there will be no problems. Feng Hao smiled lightly, "However, it's better not to ask more about the things in the Fox Palace." I'll just take you out. ”
"Feng Hao. ”
Suddenly, the one in the pavilion suddenly spoke, "This guest is the honored guest who ascended the throne this time."
As he spoke, he had already turned to face Dongfang Shuo.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo finally saw his face clearly, there were no wrinkles on his face, and he was still in his twenties, which was a little incompatible with his full head of crane hair, but it also had a vague difference in beauty.
"Yes, Your Highness the Old Man. ”
Feng Hao replied.
The old man walked out of the pavilion and said, "Feng Hao, I said, we are the same people, and we don't have to be so restrained in front of me. ”
As he spoke, he had already approached Dongfang Shuo's side.
His eyes looked at Dongfang Shuo politely and gracefully, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming from afar to help my fox clan." ”
"Your Excellency should also be a human race, why do you call yourself a fox race?"
"If you enter the fox clan, you are the fox clan, and it can be regarded as a fallen leaf and return to the roots, whether it is a human race or a fox clan, it is not so important. The old man replied with a smile.
Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips: "You don't look old, it's a little inappropriate to say that the fallen leaves return to the roots."
"Don't look like I look young, in fact, I'm older than you think. ”
When the old man said this, he laughed lightly, and then continued, "I still remember the last time I saw a human being, it was three hundred years ago, it was an elder of the eldest grandson family. This barren and desolate place is rarely patronized, and no one has been seen for three hundred years. ”
"Three Hundred Years"
Dongfang Shuo was shocked.
As far as Dongfang Shuo knows, the lifespan of ordinary demon clans is only more than three hundred years, and at most no more than four hundred years. And it is not easy for human beings, ordinary human races to reach the age of 100, and even if it is the cultivation of the Heavenly Heaven in the refining period, it can make the longevity skyrocket, but it is only one more Jiazi.
There has never been a human being who can live to be 200 years old.
And the one in front of him is at least three hundred years old
"Surprised, isn't it?"
The old man smiled and said, "Although the depths of this yellow desert are genuine, not a mirage. In the bitter cold, there can be spring as well. ”
As he said this, he picked up another flower.
Without waiting for Dongfang Shuo to speak, the old man continued: "It's just that after a long time, spring will wither one day, flowers are like this, and everything in the world is like this." ”
He put the flower in front of the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "But the world is not unforgiving, and the withering of flowers is so that new flowers can bloom in the same way." And so on, that's the beauty of this world. ”
Dongfang Shuo listened to him quietly, but he didn't know how to answer.
Even, he didn't understand what the guy in front of him was talking about.
"It's normal not to understand. ”
He put the flower back, and the flower and the stem coincided perfectly, as if they had never been plucked, "I just haven't seen anyone for too long, and I can't help but say a few more words." You can go now. ”
With that, the guy turned around and walked in the direction of the gazebo again.
Looking at his back, Dongfang Shuo was always a little confused.
"He's always been like this, and there is no deep meaning in his words, they are all inspired by feelings, you don't have to guess. Feng Hao said, "Let's go, I'll take you out." ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded.
Subsequently, Dongfang Shuo and the white wolf were extinguished, and they continued to follow Feng Hao.
After that, there was no more episode that befell Dongfang Shuo's body, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the side gate of the Fox Palace.
Although this door is not comparable to the main gate of the Fox Palace, even if it is talked about alone, it can be called majestic and magnificent.
And inside and outside the palace wall and palace gate, there are also guards of half-step kings, and there are also high-grade spirit crossbows that are not obvious in secret.
After leaving the Fox Palace, Dongfang Shuo didn't want to wander around here.
Although the Fox Emperor has insight into everything that happened in Qingzhou, she has never personally left the Huang Mang Desert to find out, and she has never seen it with her own eyes, and she will never be able to see the prosperity of Qingzhou only by word of mouth.
Her complacency about the Fox Imperial City stems from her ignorance of the prosperity of Qingzhou.
To tell the truth, even if you walk on the Kangzhuang Road in the imperial city, as far as the eye can see, there are pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and jade buildings, and pedestrians come and go endlessly, Dongfang Shuo still can't feel the word prosperity.
He didn't want to see much of such an imperial city.
In the blink of an eye, he landed crookedly and found the location of the Guike Post House with the white wolf.
The aunt named Abi has also been waiting here for a long time.
"Auntie, I'm tired. ”
Dongfang Shuo went up and back, and arched his hand.
"If you come to the Fox Imperial City, you are a distinguished guest, but Zhao Gongzi should not think that he is a distinguished guest, so I will not be angry with your title. Abi's face was obviously a little cold.
After all, we have to get along for a while, and of course Dongfang Shuo doesn't want to offend this person.
"Then according to the custom, let's call you little sister. Dongfang Shuo said.
Ah Bi glanced at him and said, "The people who will take care of you in the next few days are all fox women, do you call them all young sisters" She sighed inadvertently and said, "My name is Chu Abi, you can call me Sister Bi." ”
"Okay, Abi. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded in response.
"You"
Abi frowned, and raised his hand to fight.
But as soon as she raised her hand, she paused, and withdrew her hand as if she was worried about something.
"I can't beat you, I won't beat you. But for the next few days, it's my people who will take care of you, so you'd better be obedient and understand," Abi asked.
Dongfang Shuo shuddered coldly: "Understood, understood." ”
Then, he asked, "But Abi, you also seem to have quite a status in the Fox Emperor City. ”
"It's none of your business. ”
Saying this, Ah Bi walked towards the post house, as if leading the way.
Dongfang Shuo was helpless, and after signaling the white wolf to extinguish it, he immediately followed.
"Speaking of which, Abi, your fox clan is surnamed Ji and Chu, did you learn it from the human race" Dongfang Shuo asked out of curiosity.
Abi didn't look at him, continued to lead the way, and said, "That's not a surname, it's a name." I just think that your human surname is poetic, so I used it. ”
"But your name isn't poetic at all. Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes.
These words made Abi give him a cold look, and after he softened with his expression, she continued to lead the way.
Turning his head, Dongfang Shuo was taken to his room.
After the door of this room is closed, almost all breaths and sounds are isolated, and there is a purification array in the room, which can not only ensure the ventilation of the house, but also make the temperature not high or low just right.
In such an environment, Dongfang Shuo also slowly relaxed himself.
Now that you're free, it's time to think about your own business.
First, it's about taking stock of what you've gained these days.
