Li Hongzhong was in the study, moving the portrait of the previous lord hanging on the wall. With a flick of his hand, a cabinet was pushed forward. The brownish-red lotus pattern box inside is exposed. Then I picked it up and put it on the desk, only to see that there was a white crystal-style stone after opening, and the stone base was a lotus-shaped gold pattern, which was very beautiful and chic.

"This thing is so pretty." Ye Xiaomu watched fascinatedly.

"Come, Xiaomu, drop a drop of blood on the stone." Li Hongzhong took out a small dagger from his waist and handed it to Ye Xiaomu to hold.

"Still dripping blood?" Ye Xiaomu, who was afraid of injections since he was a child, asked nervously.

"This spirit stone, if the blood of the person being tested can be absorbed into it, and emit different lights. It means that you have spiritual power in your body. If you're afraid of pain yourself, I can help you bleed a little. Before Ye Xiaomu could react, Li Hongzhong had already snatched the tip of the dagger in Ye Xiaomu's hand and gently stabbed Ye Xiaomu's finger. Ye Xiaomu frowned in pain, but he still dripped the blood on his fingers onto the stone. Then the three of them watched nervously.

The spirit stone immediately sucked the blood inside, and slowly emitted a faint green light from it. At this time, Li Hongzhong excitedly held Ye Xiaomu's hands, and tears were about to ooze out of his eyes.

"It's really a dark green wood spirit breath, great, Xiao Mu, we are going to go to the Wood Kingdom Palace in the past two days, your spiritual power is still low now, I have to report to the lord of the country, let him send someone to escort you to the Five Elements Hall to learn the arts, and now there are fewer and fewer people in my country who know wood spells." The spiritual power of other wood people is cyan, only you are green, and you can also speak the language of a hundred beasts, maybe you are really the reincarnation of a wood spirit. ”

The others who were looking for Ye Xiaomu didn't know at this time that the person they were looking for had been automatically sent to the door. Everyone's thoughts also came to mind. But there are also people eyeing this side~

"You two will stay here for the next few days, and I will tell you anything until I have someone inform the king to come back." Li Hongzhong commanded.

At this moment, one of the attendants walked to the door and shouted at the closed door, "Lord Qiqi City, the Lord of the Water Kingdom has arrived." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot about it. Let's go, I'll take you two to meet someone. After speaking, he took the two of them with both hands and walked forward.

The two of them had a helpless look on their faces, feeling that this city lord was very familiar, and this was too enthusiastic. And there's another girl in the pull? It's not that he was excited and forgot that Ye Xiaomu was a woman.

When the three of them arrived at the main hall, Mochen was already waiting on the seats! His eyes were staring at Li Hongzhong holding Ye Xiaomu's hand, and his face was displeased. Li Hongzhong seemed to feel a chill in his body, so he let go of the hands of the two.

"Huh?? This is not Brother Mo, why did you also come to the city lord? Ye Xiaomu saw Mo Chen, and it was called excited. I feel like I'm quite close to a handsome guy. Whether it was the rich brother before, or the current one, who looks at his status quite high. This time the crossing is okay, not lazy. In this era, there are quite a lot of beautiful men.

Ye Xiaomu: It would be nice if Xiaobai was there. Suddenly, I miss Xiaobai.

In modern times, Ye Xiaomu and Bai Yuerui can be described as authentic rotten girls. Whether it's a TV series, a novel, or an anime, as long as they are handsome, they can talk for most of the day! There are also all kinds of photos, posters, comic books, etc.

"Brother Ye is also here, it turns out that Brother Ye was in a hurry to leave just now, and he came to see the city lord!" Mo Chen said with a gentle smile on his face to Ye Xiaomu.

Li Hongzhong: Am I dazzled? This guy actually laughed? Is there a mistake in describing this person outside? What is expressionless? Cold as frost? The big devil who kills people without blinking? Ya, look at his eyes now that they can soften the water, and he looks like a little daughter-in-law. Wait~~~ Does he know that Ye Xiaomu is a girl? But he just called him Brother Ye, he shouldn't know!

"Yes~ I knew that Brother Mo, you also came here, so I came with you." Ye Xiaomu quipped.

"Hahaha, you didn't say it, I didn't ask, but we can still meet it, which proves that we are really destined." Mochen then laughed.

The two subordinates behind him also looked puzzled: Is this still the high lord? ? If you hadn't followed it all the time, you would have thought it was a change.

"You two know each other??" Li Hongzhong asked suspiciously.

"On the one hand, I feel that I can talk to Brother Ye quite well."

Two subordinates: I didn't say anything, where can I talk?

"By the way, Brother Mo, why are you here?" Ye Xiaomu asked.

"The day before yesterday, I went to the city lord to borrow a pair of danqing, and now I will return it." After saying that, take out the picture scroll.

"Oh, what kind of picture is it, let Brother Mo come and see it in person? Can you show me? Ye Xiaomu said curiously.

"Do you ~ want to see it? Give, take. Mochen generously handed it over.

Li Hongzhong: This painting is obviously mine, but it feels like ink dust. Besides, Ye Xiaomu, doesn't this painting look the same as you, what is there to appreciate~~~

"Can I watch it? Thank you then. Ye Xiaomu took the scroll, and when he saw a woman standing on the bridge. The face shape is very similar to herself, and she is also a rare beauty, but Ye Xiaomu feels a little more delicate. Thinking back to the time when Mo Chen was drinking, he looked so sad, I am afraid that this woman has a lot to do with him.

Ye Xiaomu: If I wear the same clothes, I'm afraid he will mistakenly think that I deliberately attracted him.

"This picture is the same person as the woman in a painting in the city lord's study, right?" Ye Xiaomu asked as if he was looking at a stranger.

"That's right, it's the same person, Ye Zi, the lord of our wood country." Li Hongzhong replied.

Li Hongzhong: That is, you in your previous life, although there are not many people who know about reincarnation, but the cronies of the Lord of the Wood Kingdom still know something.

"Brother Mo, could it be that you have known the Venerable Lord of the previous Mu Kingdom before?" Ye Xiaomu asked sadly.

"I didn't know each other, but I heard a lot from the previous Shuizun. I'm just curious to take a look. Mo Chen replied covertly, after all, the inheritance of memories is not known, and even the Lord of the Water Country does not know. Each lord is in retreat for several months after selecting the person of the lineage, and outsiders are not aware of what is going on.

In this continent, Lingzun has the blessing of spiritual energy, and his lifespan is longer. Some of them have been cultivated for hundreds of years. In short, the stronger the spiritual power, the longer the lifespan. And the inheritance method of each lord is different: some are about to pass away after inheriting another person, they have no memory of the previous lord, but they will have some special feelings (such as Jinzun Su Rin night, Huozun Lingxiao); Some are the Venerable Ones who come back in another way after the death of the Venerable Lord (such as Ye Xiaomu), and some are Venerable Ones who can still survive after the inheritance but retain a small amount of spiritual power, unless they give up their lives and cultivation (such as ink dust). In addition, the Venerable who has not yet found the inheritor can rejuvenate himself as long as he cultivates without retreating, and lives for thousands of years (for example, Tuzun Peng Ziran now looks like he is 15 years old). The person who inherits is a person ordained by God, not a random choice. A thousand years ago, it was someone who wanted to change his life against the sky and destroy the five elements of yin and yang, so he fell into the current situation. The green of the plants is gone, and the growth of the grass and trees is very slow, and the food chain is unbalanced, and the animals that feed on grass starve to death, and the number of animals that feed on meat is also less. Humanity as the supreme ruler is also inevitably affected.

"City Lord, this painting will be returned to you, I still have something to do to go to the Wooden Palace. I won't stay long. Mochen said.

"Such a coincidence? We also have something important to go to the palace? Ye Xiaomu said happily.

"Oh? Then let's go together tomorrow. Mochen said.

Chen Ping and the two brothers: Your lord, your sword flight will not be in time, why do you have to wait for tomorrow to set off?? We don't dare to ask, we don't dare to say~~

"Mmmm, we'll see you at the city gate tomorrow."

"Xiaomu, you two should rest here tonight. Tomorrow I will go out in a carriage. Li Hongzhong said.

Li Hongzhong: Why didn't Mochen fly first by himself? If I had the Spiritual Sword, I would have taken them away.

As the lord of a city, Li Hongzhong is a person with insufficient spiritual power, and he has relied on physical skills to get to where he is now. Fortunately, there are Keqing who knows other spells at home to guard. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get to where we are today.

"No need, Li Wei and I have already booked a room. Thank you, Uncle Lee. Ye Xiaomu said.

"Then how can it be done, you are ~~~" Li Hongzhong saw that there were other people and it was not easy to continue.

"Xiaowei, where did you book a room? I'm going to get someone to guard it now. Li Hongzhong asked Li Wei.

"Which inn are you ~ in?" Mo Chen looked at Ye Xiaomu with his eyes and asked.

"Breeze Inn." Ye Xiaomu replied happily. I don't know why I have a strange liking for ink dust. It's as if you've found something you've lost.

"Coincidentally, so did I." Mochen replied.

Two subordinates: Lord? Aren't we staying at Heyue Restaurant?? When did it become the Breeze Inn?

Mochen's two subordinates, Chen An and Chen Ping, looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes made eye contact with each other.

Subordinate Chen An: The lord wants to live in Qingfeng Inn, I'm afraid it has something to do with Ye Gongzi, let's go and book a private room later, right?

Subordinate Chen Ping: Well, the master has a habit of cleanliness, and he has to let people clean up first.

Subordinate Chen An: Wait until you go out, I'll let someone arrange it.

"Why don't you all stay for dinner?" Li Hongzhong said hospitablely.

"No, thank you, uncle, I'm going to leave tomorrow, and I still have things to pack in the inn!" Ye Xiaomu replied.

"Sister Ye~~~ Brother Ye is right." Li Wei was afraid that people would see through it and say something wrong, so he quickly changed his name. Because now Ye Xiaomu's identity is inconvenient to be exposed.

Unexpectedly, he was listened to by the ink dust next to him.

Ink Dust: Sister??? Will he be a woman? I've got to find out tonight, and I'm not going to let her get hurt again in this life.

Mo Chen's eyes when he looked at Ye Xiaomu also changed from gentle to affectionate.

"Ahem~ That~ Xiaowei, Xiaomu, you two go back and be careful. I'll get the luggage and wagons ready for tomorrow's departure. ”

Li Hongzhong saw Mo Chen's strange eyes, just like the feeling of staring at the cabbage at home, which was very awkward. How can you say that Mu Zun is an inviolable existence in the wood country. Of course, the Lingzun can also be married. But the Five Elements Kingdom was generally not willing to let two of them together. After all, if one side has too much power, it will harm the interests of the other country. That's why the Venerable Ones of the previous life were used by people with hearts and caused tragedy.

"It's not early. City Lord Li, see you at the city gate tomorrow! Brother Ye and I went back first. Mochen said.

"Uncle, see you tomorrow." Ye Xiaomu and Li Wei said in unison.

"Good. Rest early tonight, and I'll have you both picked up tomorrow. Li Hongzhong said two words heavily, the meaning was obvious enough, referring only to Li Wei and Ye Xiaomu. As for Mo Chen, he could have done without a carriage! I didn't want the two Venerables to get too close. His nephew is also very attentive to Ye Xiaomu. It's not a problem to be a few years younger.

If Li Wei knew his uncle's thoughts, he would be embarrassed, because he just regarded Ye Xiaomu as his sister, and Mu Zun's status was noble, and not everyone was qualified to be worthy. It's already an honor to be around. How dare you think of anything else~

A few people said goodbye to Li Hongzhong and walked in the direction of Qingfeng Inn.
