Chapter 40: The Sleeping Jiao
Xun Yu walked into the Panlong Palace, and there were many candles in the hall, which were swaying around by the wind that poured in at the door.
He walked around the screen and walked towards the inner sanctum. In the center of the inner sanctum is a pool of water, bubbling with a white chill.
In the pool water, a dark and slender Jiao hovered at the bottom of the pool, motionless.
Behind him came a woman, with a white cloth covering her eyes, but she didn't hesitate in her footsteps, thinking that she was very familiar with this place.
She bent her knees slightly: "I've seen the emperor." ”
Xun Yu stared at the Jiao in the pond: "Is he still sleeping?"
The woman nodded.
Xun Yu squatted down, sat on the edge of the pool, and reached out to touch Jiao's horn: "Suiyun, how long are you going to sleep?"
The woman brought a jug of wine from the table beside her.
Xun Yu took the wine jug, stretched out his legs, leaned on the pillar by the pool, raised his head and took a sip, and poured half a pot into the Jiao in the pool water, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing.
Xun Yu stared at Chi Shui: "Qingyi, I saw a person today, who looks very similar to Yun, I thought he was awake." ”
Qingwei was expressionless: "I'm going to ruin his appearance." ”
Xun Yu smiled lightly: "You still have this temper." Not a human to be exact, it's a fox demon. It's strange to say, few mortal monsters have the ability to come to the Eight Desolations. Could it be that the fox demon is a descendant of your Xuanhu clan and has encountered a rare opportunity?"
Qingwei was very disdainful: "Little monster, how can you compare with my Xuanhu clan." ”
Xun Yu said lazily: "The Xuanhu clan was hit hard more than 7,000 years ago, and it has long been out of the stream, but your arrogance is still there, it's rare." ”
Qingyin is very sure: "The Xuanhu clan will eventually rise again." My sister and I were seriously injured back then, but we were able to be rescued from the pile of dead people by Suiyun, and I will never die, and one day I will ......"
The voice stopped abruptly, and she stroked the white cloth on her face, her expression seemed to be unwilling, resentful, and annoyed, which was very complicated.
She has long been blind, and she can't travel alone in a slightly unfamiliar place, so what qualifications does she have to talk about "there will always be a day"?
It's all to blame on Cheng Xuan and Cheng Su's pair of sluts!
Xun Yu sighed lightly: "Suiyun, this person is nosy, and he is also kind, not only has he saved your sisters, but whenever there is an injured or sick bird or beast in Qingqiangye, he will save it......"
"Every time I was punished, he would rush out and beat me up, and when I took the throne, he followed me loyally. I really don't understand why such a good person doesn't live long. ”
Qingyin has calmed down: "Who said he didn't live long, he just fell asleep." ”
Xun Yu frowned: "It is said that the Nine Yang Beads in the body of the Xuanniao have the effect of gathering yang energy and bringing the dead back to life. After he died, I dug one up for him, and I don't know what went wrong, he was resurrected, but he never woke up. ”
The green waist was separated by a white cloth, and he also looked at the pond, and his hand under the long sleeve clenched his fist tightly: "He will wake up." ”
Xun Yu stroked Jiao's forehead again.
For more than 7,000 years, he was about to get tired of waiting, but there was still a glimmer of hope, so he had to continue to wait tormentedly, helpless.
He stood up and stretched: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Cheng Xuan Cheng Su's sisters both appeared in the Jianqing Palace in Chouhua Mountain, and because they were saving soul bones, they shared the same body, isn't it interesting?"
Anger rose around Qinglu's body: "Didn't Cheng Su destroy his original god? A few days ago, I personally threw her body into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons...... And Cheng Xuan, didn't she become a mortal who died in the life and death? Why did these two sluts appear?"
Xun Yu smiled lightly: "What are you anxious about? Ashes and deaths, life and death, for them is still too light, don't you think the current situation is more interesting? Twin sisters, who should live?"
The green waist is still resentful.
Xun Yu strolled out of the Panlong Palace: "Don't kill them, I'm still waiting to see a good show." By the way, remember to spread the word. Cheng Su's enemies may be favored by Cheng Xuan, and most of the people who follow Cheng Su also have relatives who died at the hands of Cheng Xuan, let these people seek revenge and see how they choose. ”
The night is slightly cool. He walked towards the Temple of Infinity.
Passing by a cluster of flowers, the purple and red flowers bloom in the night breeze. There was a slight noise on the path behind the flowers, and several maids were chasing a child of five or six years old.
The boy was very dexterous, dodging left and right, giggling, and refusing to go back with the maid.
A rare warm smile appeared on Xun Yu's face, and he called in his mouth: "True." ”
Xun Hanzhen ran over and crashed into Xun Yu's arms, and the sugar content in the little milk voice was very high: "Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!"
Xun Yu picked him up, weighed the weight in his hand, seemed to be very satisfied, and said softly: "Naughty again?
Xun Hanzhen pouted: "I'm not sleepy, I don't want to sleep." I'm playing hide and seek with Bai Ze. ”
Xun Yu tapped his forehead: "If you don't sleep, you'll be stupid!"
Xun Hanzhen didn't believe it: "In the past, you lied to me, saying that if you don't sleep, you won't grow tall, but I sleep obediently, and I still can't grow tall for thousands of years." ”
Several maids lowered their heads when they heard this, not wanting to attract Xun Yu's attention.
Xun Yu still smiled: "What's so good about growing up? You have always been my younger brother like this, isn't it?"
Xun Hanzhen tilted his head and thought hard: "When I grow up, I am also the younger brother of the fourth brother." ”
Xun Yu shook his head: "If you grow up, we won't be able to be brothers well." ”
Xun Hanzhen didn't seem to understand why, Xun Yu didn't explain, and walked towards Jinlan Hall with Xun Hanzhen in his arms, and several maids followed from a distance, not daring to come forward to disturb.
The Jinlan Hall is located on the east side of the Zaowei Palace, which is a little far away from the Wuji Hall where Xun Yu lives.
There are many children's toys in the hall, and the decoration is very childlike.
Turning into the inner sanctum, I saw a small lion-shaped beast with a snow-white body and goat horns running up and down.
Xun Hanzhen immediately broke free from Xun Yu's arms and hugged the little beast: "Bai Ze, why are you here? I thought you were hiding in the garden." ”
That Bai Ze just rubbed Xun Hanzhen's cheek with his soft head, very meekly.
Xun Yu picked Xun Hanzhen up and threw him up a few times dotingly, making Xun Hanzhen giggle.
Only then did he put him on the bed: "Don't be naughty, rest early." ”
The wrist swiped across the quilt, leaving a faint red mark. Xun Hanzhen immediately lifted the quilt and grabbed Xun Yan's hand: "Fourth brother, are you injured?"
Xun Yu looked at the pinhole on his wrist, which was very small, but he kept bleeding.
He stroked it casually, and the wound was gone.
Xun Hanzhen still looked very worried, and hurriedly ordered the maid to get gauze and medicine.
The warm color on Xun Zhen's face is even better. He patted Hanzhen on the back: "It's okay, don't worry, look, it's all right." ”
Xun Hanzhen's face was full of displeasure: "Who injured the fourth brother? I'm going to beat him." ”
Xun Yu seemed to think of something, and asked softly: "If someone Han Zhen likes very much injures the fourth brother, will you still beat her?"
Xun Hanzhen replied very seriously: "Yes, no matter how much you like the person, it is not as important as the fourth brother." ”
Xun Yu covered him with a quilt and patted his stomach: "Fourth brother believes in you." ”
Xun Hanzhen is still a child after all, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes after being slapped a few times, and muttered half-asleep and half-awake: "Fourth brother, do you know? ”
Bai Ze understands the words of the people and knows the future, which is a well-known thing in the Eight Wildernesses.
But this Bai Ze is different, its vocal cords have been injured and are almost broken.
After being brought back to Qingqiang by Xun Hanzhen, he became Xun Hanzhen's best playmate and listener, every time he heard Xun Hanzhen speak, he would shake his head, nod his head, and jump in response from time to time, but he never spoke.
