Xiao Yao sighed: "I don't know, if I hadn't stolen Yushan, if I had been growing up in the palace, I think I would definitely hate you, but I have sold charcoal, pulled fiber, sold wine, raised horses, worked as an account housekeeper, and worked as a doctor...... I used to be one of the people of the world bathed in the glory of the Yellow Emperor, and I felt your warmth, so I can't hate you completely. Zhuan once hated Zhu Rong who took the lives of his parents, but in the end, for the sake of the people of the Central Plains, he spared Xiao Zhurong. Probably just like Zhuan Xuan is said, in this world, some men are only born for a family, and some men are born for a family, and you and Zhuan Xuan are both born for all the people in the world, for the thousands of charcoal sellers, slender men, and wine dealers in the world...... You must give up your personal feelings and do what is right. Grandpa, you don't even need to ask me if I hate you, because whether I hate it or not, everything has already happened. ”

On the red water, a merchant ship engraved with the emblem of the Gaoxin Qinglong Department was moving smoothly.

In the cabin, the white-haired Emperor Jun rested on the couch, Bei Shu and Jing stood aside, and Xiao Yao sat on the side of the couch and presented a bowl of soup to Emperor Jun.

After Emperor Jun finished drinking, he said coldly to Xiao Yao: "After I help you take out the Zhuyan Flower, you will get off the boat." ”

Xiao Yao knelt down: "My father was seriously injured because of me, I want to take care of ......"

Emperor Jun didn't wait for her to finish, then said impatiently: "I said, it has nothing to do with you, this is what I owe to Qingyang, Changyi and Xuanyuan Wang Ji, and it has nothing to do with Chiyou, and it has nothing to do with you!" Speaking of which, Chiyou once seriously injured me, and I still have a grudge against him. ”

Xiao Yao is very sad, is it that the thousands of favors since birth, the desperate protection in the desert, are they just because they owe their uncle and mother? Isn't it because of her at all?

Emperor Jun stared at the peach blossom birthmark on Xiao Yao's forehead, with mixed feelings in his heart, the scene of Ah Heng tearfully sealing the Zhuyan flower was still in front of him, but he was separated from his life and death forever. He stretched out his hand and stroked it between Xiao Yao's forehead, a red light flashed, the peach blossom birthmark disappeared, and a delicate peach blossom fell on Xiao Yao's hand.

Emperor Jun closed his eyes and said to Bei Shui, "Send them out." ”

Bei Cheng politely asked Xiao Yao and Jing to leave, and Xiao Yao had to kowtow three times, and then He Jing went out of the cabin.

The three of them stood on the deck, watched the water and sky clear, and there was no one around, and asked: "Thousands of years ago, Your Majesty's spiritual power was already recognized as the first in the Great Wilderness, and for thousands of years, the only person who could hurt Your Majesty was Chiyou, but this time, Your Majesty returned with a serious injury. I'm not trying to find out what's going on, I'm just wondering, do I need to be on guard?"

Xiao Yao said: "It hurts Your Majesty...... It's not people, it's the desert. ”

I know the thousands of miles of desert in the north of Chishui. When he was young, he also had a moment of excitement and crossed the desert with his partners to compete who could kill the drought, but as a result, several people almost died in it, and he was deeply impressed by the horror of the desert. However, since yesterday, it has rained heavily in the desert, and the harvest spirit power is so strong that you can naturally feel the terrifying heat disappear, and when you think about the arrival of next spring, this desert will be verdant, and sooner or later it will become lush.

He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that as a courtier, don't listen to what shouldn't be heard, and since Emperor Jun wasn't hurt by someone, he breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his laughter. He smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to keep the two, but ......," he pretended to be helpless, "Anyway, let's say goodbye, and when the two get married in the future, I will bring a generous gift and come to the door to congratulate." ”

Xiao Yao's several sorrows were all taken away and ran away, and he smacked him: "I am in a high position, but I am not serious!"

Jing's mount, the White Crane, was summoned and wandered around the ship. Jing said goodbye to Bei Shu, grabbed Xiao Yao's waist and jumped on the back of the mount, and the white crane swayed a few times, and disappeared into the sky.

Jing asked Xiao Yao: "Are we going back to Shennong Mountain, or are we going to the East China Sea?"

Xiao Yao looked at the burden on Jing's back and said, "Go to Jiuli." "My father and mother's only wish before their death was to be an ordinary couple and stay together until they were old, but unfortunately they could command thousands of troops, but they couldn't give themselves a home.

Half a day later, the white crane flew to Jiuli, legend, here is full of miasma poisonous insects, fierce birds and beasts, the property is very barren, there are two famous things, the first is Chiyou, the second is Gu art, all notorious.

Xiao Yao is here for the first time, but because of her mother's narration, she feels very familiar - Chiyou Village, White Altar, Peach Blossom Forest, Green Bamboo Building, she even knows that the Green Bamboo Building is hung with Biluo curtains.

Jing followed the caravan of the Tu Shan clan to Jiuli, and several big villages knew about it, and drove the white crane to fly towards Chiyou Village.

Xiao Yao saw the white altar at a glance, not because it was magnificent, but because the whole village was full of small and simple bamboo buildings, only this altar was made of large white stones.

Xiao Yao jumped off his mount and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar altar. The quaint altar reveals the vicissitudes of time, and the wind chimes made of white animal bones hang around it, making a pleasant jingling sound. Thousands of years ago, my mother and father had heard it here.

Several wizards walked over, looking at Xiao Yao and Jing vigilantly, and a slightly older wizard said in a stiff original dialect: "Outsiders are not welcome here. ”

Xiao Yao said in a blunt Jiuli dialect: "My father is from Jiuli. ”

The expressions of several wizards softened a lot, but maybe they were bullied too much, and they were still very vigilant, and the wizard who asked just now asked in Jiuli dialect: "Where is your father?"

He ...... Dead!"

Xiao Yao looked at Jing, Jing took off the burden on his back and handed it to Xiao Yao, who held Xiao Yao in his arms: "I brought him and my mother back, I think they are willing to come back here." ”

The wizards looked at the burden in Xiao Yao's hands, and there was deep sadness in their eyes. Because Jiuli is a pariah, men are born slaves, and women are born slaves, and every twenty or thirty years, the boys and girls of Jiuli are sent out of the mountains to become slaves, and most of them are gone and never returned home.

The wizard asked, "Which village is your father from?" But we can sing a soul-attracting song for him, and you scatter his ashes around his stockade, and he will come home. ”

"He's from Chiyou Village, I want to ......" Xiao Yao looked around, pointed to the peach grove on the hillside southeast of the altar, and said, "He and my mother's home is there." ”

Several wizards changed color in horror, and just as they were about to drive the Gu worms to attack Xiao Yao, an old man with gray hair shouted, "Stop!"

"The Witch King." The wizards respectfully stepped back.

The Witch King walked to the altar and looked at Xiao Yao carefully: "Are you sure your father and mother lived there?"

"My mother said that their bamboo building is not far from the altar, in a peach blossom forest, and only that hillside has a peach blossom forest nearby."

The Witch King chanted a long list of Gu spells, and the old man's voice was subdued, as if he was singing an ancient ballad, Xiao Yao had recited it, but she never knew that she could chant like this, and she sang along with the Witch King.

Tears appeared in the eyes of the Witch King, and several wizards behind him all looked at Xiao Yao in horror and awe, this Gu curse song was composed by the most outstanding Witch King of Jiuli, and only the Witch Kings of the past dynasties could completely chant it.

There was a precedent for snakeberries, Xiao Yao was not surprised, nodded to the witch king, and walked towards the peach forest.

The witch king said, "Girl, do you know that the hillside is the holy land of the Jiuli tribe? Chiyou was enshrined there, and for thousands of years, only Chiyou and his wife, Xiling Witch, lived there. ”

Xiao Yao's footsteps stopped, it turned out that here, the identity of the mother was only the father's wife. After a moment, she continued to walk towards the hillside: "Now I know. ”

"What do you call a girl?"

"Xiling Jiuyao."

Xiao Yao is Chi You's daughter is the matter of Chi You's daughter is in a big uproar outside, but because of the high mountain and dangerous roads, the Jiuli clan and the outside news are not connected, and they don't know the external affairs, at this time, the witch king is particularly excited, and after watching Xiao Yao and Jing's figures disappear into the peach forest, he ordered: "Summon all wizards and prepare for a big sacrifice." ”

Before coming, Xiao Yao thought that the green bamboo building in the peach blossom forest should be very dilapidated, or even collapsed, but he didn't expect that the green bamboo building was intact. The surrounding bamboo fence is neatly trimmed, and around the fence, it is full of colorful flowers: roses, morning glory, peonies, magnolias, purple jasmine...... There were two wooden barrels beside the well, half-hanging, as if the owner would come back at any time and fill a bucket of water.

Xiao Yao gently pushed the door open and walked in.

There is an incense case futon in the main hall, and there is a wood carving portrait of Chi You hanging on the wall, he is dressed in a red robe, stepping on Dapeng, and roaring for nine days.

Xiao Yao put the burden on the incense table, looked up at the portrait for a while, and said to Jing with a smile: "This is my father." ”

Jing knelt down and kowtowed three times, and put on three sticks of incense.

Xiao Yao leaned in front of the window, looked at the peach blossom forest, and said: "The moment I pushed the door just now, I had an illusion, as if my father and mother would answer as soon as I raised my voice." ”

Jing walked behind Xiao Yao and hugged her: "Are you tired?"

Xiao Yao half-closed her eyes: "It's a little tired, I'm not as strong as I appeared, all the abuse, contempt, hostility...... I feel it all. ”

"It's been more than 70 years, but sometimes I still feel pain and humiliation when I see the scars on my body," Jing said. It is normal to have feelings, to feel pain, to feel sweetness, to prove that our hearts are alive. ”

"That being said, I wish I could be stronger."

"It's normal to cry when you're sad and escape when you're in pain, and a moment of weakness doesn't mean you're not strong, but you're recuperating from your wounds and accumulating strength."

Xiao Yao smiled: "Okay! With your words, I can comfortably indulge myself in weakness!"

Jing also smiled and took her hand.

From the direction of the altar came a low and melodious chant, and Xiao Yao said, "Someone is singing, what are they doing?"

"Sacrifice. I think they're welcoming your mom and dad home. The Jiuli people's view of death is different from that of the Central Plains, they believe that life comes from heaven and earth, and death is not the end, but a return. "The song comforts the dead and guides the souls, with vicissitudes but no sorrow.

Xiao Yao listened silently for a while, and picked up the burden on the incense case - it contained soil, which Xiao Yao specially dug when he left the desert north of Chishui.

"Jing, borrow your mount."

The white crane flew over, and Xiao Yao sat on the white crane's back.

The white crane rose into the air, and Xiao Yao saw the altar, where more than 20 wizards wore simple and solemn sacrificial robes, singing and dancing in front of the altar. They also saw her in the air, but they didn't care, still singing and dancing.

The white crane slowly swirled around the mountains and rivers of Jiuli, and Xiao Yao opened the baggage, which contained the soil from the peach blossom forest, perhaps because of the fallen flowers that had been soaked for hundreds of years, the soil was a crimson color.

Xiao Yao grabbed a handful, spread out his palms, and let the mountain wind blow the dirt away.

The red earth drifted away in the wind, like a little blood falling into the mountains and rivers.

The witch king led the sorcerer, bowing and singing at the same time.

Many years later, there is red maple like blood in the mountains of Jiuli, its shape is correct, its color is burning, and there are often green vines climbing and born. I don't know which wizard said it, the red maple is made of Chiyou's blood, and the Jiuli people have passed it down from generation to generation, and they regard the red maple as a sacred tree.

When Xiao Yao woke up, it was almost noon.

She looked at the sun in disbelief: "How long have I slept for so long?" You don't call me either. ”

Jing set the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It's rare that you have a good night's sleep, of course, you have slept enough." In the past year, even if Xiao Yao smiled, there was a trace of sadness hidden in her eyes, and now, she finally got her heart knotted and slept steadily, of course Jing couldn't bear to wake her up.

Xiao Yao sat in front of the desk and buried himself in eating.

After Xiao Yao finished eating, the two walked in the mountains, Xiao Yao always felt that every place was familiar, and told Jing about his father and mother intermittently.

When the two of them walked to the white altar, they saw the witch king sitting under the green bar, drinking absinthe.

Xiao Yao stopped, thought for a while, and said to Jing: "You go back to the bamboo tower first, I have something to say to the witch king in private." “

Jing didn't leave: "Do you want to ask the Witch King about the Gu in your and Xiang Liu's bodies?"

Xiao Yao was distracted, and said embarrassedly: "I don't want to hide it from you, I just don't want you to worry." ”

Jing said, "If you don't let me know anything, I'll be worried, let me go with you, okay?"

Xiao Yao nodded.

Seeing Jing and Xiaoyao, the witch king invited them to drink tea together.

Xiao Yao took a sip of absinthe tea and said, "I have a friend named Snakeberry, and I want to ask the witch king which village she is from?"

The Witch King said, "It turns out that you are the one who knows Gu magic and is kind to Snakeberry, and she is dead. Snakeberry is my mother's eldest sister, my mother was supposed to go outside, but at that time my mother already had a lover, just pregnant with me, my aunt replaced my mother, went outside to be a slave, thank you for letting her return safely. ”

Xiao Yao silently poured a cup of absinthe tea to the ground.

The Witch King said, "Listen to Snakeberry, you want to know how to get rid of Lover's Gu. ”

Xiao Yao glanced at Jing quickly, and said weakly: "When I was out of the Gu, I didn't know that there was such a strange name. ”

Jing said with a smile: "It's just a name, why bother to explain?"

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! It's just a name. ”

The Witch King coughed and said solemnly: "Lover Gu, as the name suggests, there is a pair of male and female Gu worms, the male and female Gu of the middle Gu are connected in lifelines and have the same mind, one person is hurt, the other person will also hurt, one person will be injured, and the other person will also be injured." ”

Xiao Yao said: "I know all of this, what else?"

"In the eyes of outsiders, Gu art is mysterious and vicious, but in fact, it is just the medical skills and self-defense techniques accumulated by our Jiuli clan from generation to generation. There are many poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, and miasma, and in order to survive, our ancestors have been trying to understand and control them for generations. Gu art is known for its viciousness, but in fact, we use Gu to save people more. Lover's Gu connects the two people's lifelines, that is to say, even if one is seriously injured, as long as the other person is vigorous, he can let the seriously injured person survive, this is an excellent thing, even if it is difficult to raise, there should be many people who want to raise it, but why has there been few people to raise it?"

Xiao Yao asked, "Why?"

"The solitary yang is not born, the solitary yin does not grow, the beneficial side of everything must be harmful, the greater the benefit, the greater the harm, and the same is true for lover Gu. It can make lovers communicate with each other and connect their lifelines, but Lover Gu is like a lover in love, with a changeable temper, it is very difficult to control, Gu worms are very easy to regurgitate, once they attack, both of them will die, so Lover Gu also has a name, called Broken Gu. ”

Jing looked at Xiao Yao in shock, and Xiao Yao hurriedly said, "Where is it so terrible as he said?" It's been seventy or eighty years, and I haven't been doing well?"

The Witch King changed color in horror: "Isn't your Gu planted for this son?"

"It's not."

The Witch King had a strange face and asked Xiao Yao, "Can you let me take a look at your Gu worms?"

Xiao Yao nodded.

I didn't see any movement from the Witch King, I thought it was using the Gu worm in his body to look. The Witch King frowned and muttered, "It's indeed a Lover Gu!" How is that possible?' There is a lover who raises a lover Gu, and a person who breaks his intestines becomes a broken gut Gu', Lover's Gu is different from other Gus, you have to be willing to plant Gu, if he is not your lover, how can you plant a Lover's Gu for him?"

Xiao Yao said: "You are not as good as your ancestors, and you are too rigid about the experience of your predecessors." Born in the mountains, the tiger is the king of beasts, but if it is longer than Douding, it is just a larger wild cat. Gu worms are not dead things, so Gu magic is unpredictable. ”

The witch king was puzzled in his heart, but Xiao Yao's lover was obviously the son beside her, and some words were not good to say, so he had to say perfunctorily: "What the girl taught is that the Gu worms in the girl's body are indeed different from ordinary Gu worms, and I think the girl and that person have something special." ”

Xiao Yao sighed: "He is very special!" Since Zhong Gu, she could only feel her, but she never felt him.

Jing asked eagerly, "How do you solve the Gu?"

The Witch King's face wrinkled, and he said, "Either live with one heart or die with centrifugation, once the Lover Gu is planted, it cannot be solved." I just wanted to say that this is also the reason why very few people raise it, only some stubborn women will raise this Gu, and even if they cultivate, it is difficult to find a man who is willing to grow Gu. ”

Jing was stunned, and after a while, he slowly asked, "If one of the people who planted the Lover Gu dies, what will happen to the other?"

The Witch King sighed: "Our Jiuli song says, 'The sycamore on the ground is old, the bird in the sky does not fly alone, and the mandarin duck in the water will die.'" ’”

Jing looked at Xiao Yao in a daze, and grabbed her hand suddenly.

Xiao Yao smiled and grimaced at him: "Don't worry! The Witch King's words cannot be taken seriously. The witch king said, only lovers can grow lover Gu, I have nothing to do with Xiang Liu, we still planted lover Gu. The Witch King also said that once planted, there is no way to solve the Gu, but don't forget, I planted this Gu first, didn't Xiangliu help the Gu solve the Gu?"

Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right! The Gu of the Xuan is solved!"

Xiao Yao smiled and shook Jing's hand: "Don't worry, there is no absolute thing in the world, the predecessors can't solve it, I'll solve it." She made a heroic appearance and said to the Witch King, "When I find a way to solve the Gu, I will teach it to you, and it will be regarded as repaying your ancestors for teaching me the kindness of the Gu technique." ”

The witch king smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "The Jiuli clan is a pariah, and their ability is limited, but in order to protect the girl, you can do whatever it takes, please don't say anything in return in the future." ”

This is the first time that because of his father, he has received kindness from others, and Xiao Yao's heart is very complicated, and he is reluctant to refuse: "Thank you." ”

Xiao Yao looked at the peach forest, and Jing asked, "Do you want to stay another night?"

Xiao Yao shook his head: "Everything to be done is done, let's go back!" I'm afraid that at this time, Xiaoxiao has already found out that the little girl on the ship is fake. ”

Xiao Yao said goodbye to the Witch King and said to the Witch King: "Now the monarch of Xuanyuan is His Majesty the Black Emperor, he is different from the previous emperors, in his eyes, he does not distinguish between the noble and the inferior by race, and does not respect the inferior by birth. Please give him some time, he will definitely cancel Jiuli's lowly status. ”

The Witch King did not say anything, bent down and saluted, and said, "Girl, take care!"

Xiao Yao and Jing returned to the bamboo house in the peach forest and cleaned the house.

Xiao Yao said, "You can go." ”

Jing leaned on the white crane and waited outside the house, deliberately staying for a while, so that Xiao Yao could say goodbye to her parents alone.

Xiao Yao stood silently in front of Chi You's portrait for a while, and said softly: "Father, mother, I'm leaving, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." ”

She turned around and ran out, showed a big smile to Jing, and said happily, "I'm going to the East China Sea to find Xiaoxiao and Miao Pu." ”

When she returned to Tu Shan's ship, Xiaoxiao had already found out that Xiao Yao on the ship was a puppet, but she couldn't figure out where Xiao Yao had gone, so she could only order the ship to wait in the East China Sea.

Seeing Jing and Xiao Yao descending from the sky, Miao Pu was almost crying with joy, but Xiaoxiao, as usual, calmly saluted Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao leaned over to Xiaoxiao with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, if my brother is angry, I will take care of it." ”

Xiaoxiao didn't say thank you, nor did she say that she didn't have to, but asked calmly: "Is Miss going back to Shennong Mountain?"

Xiao Yao looked at the blue sea, silent, and said after a while: "I want to stay on the sea for the night." ”

At night, the waves crashed against the boat, and the sound of waves came one after another.

Xiao Yao couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so she simply got out of the bed, put on her clothes, and walked out of the cabin.

The breeze is blowing, a bright full moon hangs in the sky, and the sea is sparkling, very quiet and beautiful.

It was under this sea that she lay in a white seabed, sleeping for thirty-seven years. No one knows how Sang-ryu saved her, and no one knows the changes in her body, and every time she asks, she says that she has been sleeping and doesn't know anything, but she knows in her own heart that her body has his blood flowing in her body. Right now, the longing for the sea is surging in her body. In the past, she also loved water, but that feeling was completely different from what she feels now. Back then, the sea was the sea, she was her, and now, she is the daughter of the sea, who can drive fish, understand the song of mermaids, dive to the deepest bottom of the sea like a fish monster, and swim faster than dolphins.

With just one vertical jump, you can jump into the sea and swim happily. Xiao Yao just didn't want to, clenched his fists tightly, and competed with himself.

The merman's song came from the end of the sea, Xiao Yao's heart moved, standing on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, and saw that under the silver moonlight, someone in white clothes and white hair came with sparkling waves.

He didn't speak, Xiao Yao didn't speak, the two of them were on a boat, under a boat, listening to the merman's song together, the song was like a heavenly sound, floating away on the vast sea, ethereal, pure, touching the heart, like an affectionate call in the dark, like a sigh when the soul was ecstatic, so that the soul sank with the song.

When the singing stopped, Xiao Yao whispered, "It's so good!"

Xiang Liu let out a faint "hmm".

The merman's singing voice is the sound of heaven, but there are few people in the world who can hear it, at this moment, Xiao Yao feels that her heart and Xiang Liu's heart is infinitely close, and it seems that there is nothing to say. Xiao Yao said: "My father is Chiyou. ”

A smile flashed in Xiang Liu's eyes, "I'm Chiyou's daughter" and "My father is Chiyou" seem to have exactly the same meaning, but their attitudes are completely different. "I am Chiyou's daughter" is just a statement of fact, maybe helpless, or even resentful, but "my father is Chiyou" has recognition and intimacy. Xiang Liu said: "When I first met you, your name was Min Xiaoliu, then your name was Gao Xin Jiu Yao, and now you are called Xiling Jiu Yao, if there is a fourth name, I am afraid that others will not be able to remember it." ”

Xiao Yao laughed, immediately covered his mouth, looked back, and saw that he didn't alarm others, so he replied sharply: "It's only three, even if there is a fourth name in the future, you have nine heads, and one head remembers half of it, so you can remember it casually." ”

Xiang Liu stared at Xiao Yao coldly.

Xiao Yao said without fear: "If you dare to do it, I will dare to scream!"

Xiangliu smiled and said, "Why should I do it? Your father is Chiyou, and some people are making trouble for you. ”

Xiao Yao laughed: "I just went to Jiuli, and the Witch King explained to me in detail the Gu in our bodies, I can't remember anything else, but I remember it very clearly, this pair of Gu worms live and die together, you and my lives are connected, if I have trouble, you don't want to escape!"

Xiang Liu looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, without the slightest surprise.

Xiao Yao reacted and said in surprise: "From the beginning, you knew that this was a Gu, right?"

"So what?"

"The Witch King said that the lover Gu is 'the peasant's in the sky does not fly alone, and the mandarin duck in the water will both die', if I die, can you live?"

"Why don't you ask the other way around, if I die, can you live?"

Xiao Yao said angrily: "No matter who dies or lives, I don't know, that's why I want to ask you, you tell me!"

The smile on Xiang Liu's face was very evil, and he said helplessly, "How can I know? You've also learned Gu arts, but it's the first time I've played Gu. However, don't worry, when you and I die, won't you know the result?"

Xiao Yao was so angry that she wanted to jump: "You can solve the Gu of the Xuan, you must know how to solve the Gu, don't you want to solve the Gu?"

Xiangliu smiled and said, "I don't want to!"

Xiao Yao asked helplessly, "What do you want?"

Xiang Liu's body sank inch by inch towards the sea: "In addition to strange goods, what else do you think I can do?"

"Hey! Don't go!"

Xiao Yao climbed over the railing and wanted to jump into the sea to chase Xiangliu, but a pair of hands grabbed her back.

"Let go of me......" Xiao Yao struggled to turn around, and when she saw that it was Jing, she immediately obediently dragged her back to the deck by Jing.

Xiao Yao cautiously asked, "When did you get up?"

Jing said, "It's been a while." In fact, he couldn't sleep all the time, and he knew it when Xiao Yao walked out of the cabin. It's just that Xiao Yao obviously wanted to be alone for a while, so he didn't bother her.

From the very beginning, Xiang Liu knew that he was on the side, and the ban he set up did not allow the people on the boat to hear Xiao Yao talking to him, but he let Jing hear it.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was going to chase Xiang Liu, Jing couldn't tell why, so he rushed out without thinking about it, and grabbed Xiao Yao, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

Xiao Yao said: "Xiang Liu just came, I asked him how to solve the Gu, but he refused to tell me. ”

The uneasiness in Jing's heart dissipated.

Xiao Yao said dejectedly: "My mouth is not as vicious as him, my spiritual power is not as high as his, and he eats the poison he makes as jelly beans, and every time I see him, I am bullied by him." ”

Jing smiled and asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

Xiao Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, and shook his head: "Between you is business, and between me and him is a personal enmity, one thing is the same thing." ”

Jing nodded with a smile and praised: "If my mother is still here, when I hear this, I will definitely praise my good daughter-in-law." ”

Xiao Yao smiled and thrashed: "Who wants to be your daughter-in-law?"

Jing pulled Xiao Yao into his arms and hugged him tightly: "You are not allowed to be someone else's daughter-in-law!"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and quietly fell into his arms.

Jing looked at the quiet and mysterious sea and whispered, "Xiaoyao, leave tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

"Where else do you want to go?"

"Let's go back to Shennong Mountain!"

When Xiao Yao returned to Shennong Mountain, he deliberately picked a morning.

In the morning, he had to deal with political affairs and didn't care about her.

The Yellow Emperor was plowing in the field, and when he saw Xiao Yao and Jing, he put down his medicine hoe and walked over.

Jing saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yao and I are back." ”

The Yellow Emperor said: "You left in the summer, and when you came back, it was already autumn, and I think you have traveled a lot of places and done a lot of things. ”

Xiao Yao heard what the Yellow Emperor said, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger, and said: "Grandpa, it's not about Jing, I ...... it."

Jing said, "Xiao Yao, I will tell Your Majesty." He obviously knew that Xiao Yao didn't want Xiao Yao to have anything to do with Emperor Jun again, and he also knew that if he directly proposed to see Emperor Jun, he would definitely oppose fiercely, and it was difficult for Xiao Yao to see Emperor Jun, so he used the excuse of playing in the mountains and rivers to deceive the two Majestians, which is a big taboo, but in order to help Xiao Yao untie the knot, he will do whatever it takes, even if he wants to be hostile to the two emperors!

Xiao Yao didn't know how much risk Jing took for this trip, but she knew that Jing had deceived the Yellow Emperor, so she said to Jing: "This is our family matter!" I'll tell my grandfather and brother myself!"

The Yellow Emperor said: "Xiao Yao is not wrong, this is our family matter. Jing, you go back first!"

Xiao Yao smiled at Jing, signaled that it would be okay, and let him leave.

Jing saluted the Yellow Emperor and left.

The Yellow Emperor washed his hands, sat down under the porch, and sipped a bowl of half-cold tea.

Xiao Yao knelt down and sat opposite him, only to feel all kinds of complicated feelings, and for a while he didn't know where to start, "I...... I went to the desert north of Chishui and met my mother. ”

The tea bowl in the Yellow Emperor's hand shattered suddenly, and he couldn't say a word, and after a while, he asked, "Is it painful for her to go?"

Xiao Yao's eyes were sour, and she said in a low voice: "For my mother, it is painful to be alive." ”

The Yellow Emperor lowered his head in pain, and after a long while, asked, "Xiao Yao, do you hate me?"

"You actually want to ask, does my mother hate you? She didn't say it, but I think that after so many years, she has understood that it is inevitable that Xuanyuan will replace Shennong, and the fate of my mother and my father will be doomed on the night they meet. You are like the sun, shining brightly on the earth and blessing all things, but those who are too close to the sun will be burned. ”

"Do you hate me?"

Xiao Yao sighed: "I don't know, if I hadn't stolen Yushan, if I had been growing up in the palace, I think I would definitely hate you, but I have sold charcoal, pulled fiber, sold wine, raised horses, worked as an account housekeeper, and worked as a doctor...... I used to be one of the people of the world bathed in the glory of the Yellow Emperor, and I felt your warmth, so I can't hate you completely. Zhuan once hated Zhu Rong who took the lives of his parents, but in the end, for the sake of the people of the Central Plains, he spared Xiao Zhurong. Probably just like Zhuan Xuan is said, in this world, some men are only born for a family, and some men are born for a family, and you and Zhuan Xuan are both born for all the people in the world, for the thousands of charcoal sellers, slender men, and wine dealers in the world...... You must give up your personal feelings and do what is right. Grandpa, you don't even need to ask me if I hate you, because whether I hate it or not, everything has already happened. ”

Xiao Yao stood up: "I'm going to take a shower and change clothes." By the way, if you're mad at me, you'll have to be on my side. As for why the desert in the north of Chishui suddenly changed the sky, you can explain it to him! My mother is his aunt, and he should know the truth. She really didn't want to experience that heart-rending pain again, so she chose to see the Yellow Emperor first.

The voice of the Yellow Emperor came from behind him, and Xiao Yao stopped.

"Back then, I did force your mother to go to the battlefield, but I just wanted her to consume the morale of the Chiyou army, and when the morale was low, I would lead the surprise soldiers to raid. I really didn't expect her to use the power of the sun in her body, let alone the power of the sun so terrifying, when I found out that your mother had changed, I regretted it at the beginning, it was too late. Xiaoyao, I have taken advantage of countless people in my life, but I never thought of sacrificing my daughter's life to achieve my ambition. ”

Xiao Yao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I believe that Zhen Yao will definitely believe it too." ”

In the evening, when Xiao Yao came to the top of the small moon, Xiao Yao sat on the swing frame under the phoenix tree, swaying with and without a pair.

Zhen Xuan's face was not good, and he stared at Xiao Yao fiercely.

Xiao Yao didn't see it, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "Grandpa has something to say to you!"

Zhen Yan didn't leave, looked Xiao Yao up and down, hurriedly walked over, held Xiao Yao's head with one hand, and touched Xiao Yao's forehead with the other: "Where are the peach blossoms on your forehead?"

Xiao Yao pointed to a small peach hairpin on his finger bun: "Here." ”

"How so? Master helped you break the seal?"

"Grandpa is waiting for you, and he will tell you what's going on."

"Wait for me!" He let go of Xiao Yao and walked into the house quickly.

It wasn't until it was dark that he walked out

Xiao Yao was still sitting on the autumn afternoon shelf, playing with a smoked ball in her hand, causing fireflies to fly around her.

He walked over and sat down on the grass.

Xiao Yao threw the smoke ball to Zhen Yao, and Zhen Yao threw it back to her, and the two of them teased the fireflies to fly to Xiao Yao for a while, and flew to Zhen Yao for a while. In the dark night, it is as if you have seen countless streamers galloping.

Xiao Yao laughed, and Zhen Yao laughed too.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect my aunt to be alive...... I should go with you. "My aunt went from death to life, and from life to death, and the pain that Xiao Yao endured was unimaginable. Every time he was in the most pain, Xiao Yao was by his side, but when Xiao Yao was the most painful, he was not by her side.

Xiao Yao played with the smoked ball, and fireflies lingered and fluttered around her: "No one thought that even my grandfather and His Majesty Emperor Jun were not sure that my mother was alive." Don't worry about me, I'm really fine, I always hated my mother for abandoning me before, every time I think about her, I feel very empty in my heart, and now I understand that my mother and father love me very much, although they are no longer there, but every time I think of them, my heart is very full. ”

Zhen still has no way to forgive herself, and when Xiao Yao is displaced, he is not by her side; When Xiao Yao was imprisoned by the nine-tailed fox, he was not by her side; When Xiao Yao went to see her aunt, he was not by her side, and Zhen Yao really wanted to slap herself twice.

Xiao Yao tilted his head and looked at Zhen Xuan: "You don't get angry with me anymore, do you?"

"No, I'm angry with myself, so I won't talk about it before...... But now, I should be with you. ”

"You are His Majesty the Black Emperor, there are too many things to do, it is impossible to accompany me to wander around, I know your heart is enough!"

Zhen Xuan was silent, and sadness gradually filled his heart, he owned the world, but there was no way to accompany Xiao Yao to browse the world!

"颛顼?" Xiao Yao threw the smoke ball at the smokeball, and the fireflies flew towards him.

In the little streamer, his face was clearly visible. It's all sad and helpless. Zhen Xuan said: "I really hope that I can accompany you to the mountains and rivers like Jing, dispel your depression, and accompany you to see your aunt." ”

"It really doesn't matter! I'm fine!"

He stared at the sky above him and suddenly asked, "If my father and my mother hadn't died, what would we be doing now?" What will I be like?"

Xiao Yao was stunned, wanting to think about it, but she didn't have a clue: "I don't know, maybe it's like now, one is sitting on the swing frame, the other is sitting on the grass, talking and playing with fireflies." What do you think?"

He threw the smoked ball to Xiao Yao and said, "I will be like my father, I will only like one woman in my life." I will play the flute for her, build a swing for her, help her with her thrush, make rouge for her, and I will take her back to Ruoshui, marry her under Wakaki, and stay with her for the rest of my life, no matter what happens, I will accompany her.

It should have been a very sad topic, but Xiao Yao held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, burst out laughing, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I don't want to laugh, but I ...... Really...... I can't imagine it...... If you do this, what will happen to those women on top of the purple gold? Who should they marry?"

He burst out laughing.

Xiao Yao couldn't see his expression clearly, only felt that there was sadness and anger hidden in the laughter, and hurriedly threw the smoke ball towards Zhen Xuan: "Zhen Xuan?"

Zhen Xuan caught the smoke ball, in the light of the fireflies, his expression was very normal, full of smiles, as if he also felt that what he said was ridiculous, Xiao Yao put his mind at ease.

Zhen Xuan stood up: "I'm going back, you also hurry up and rest." ”

Xiao Yao jumped off the swing frame and asked cautiously, "Brother, you won't be angry with Jing, right?" He was just there to help me. ”

While tossing the smoked ball, he said, "It's me who didn't take care of you, what does it have to do with him?"

"Will you punish Xiaoxiao and Miao Pu?"

"You ask this, obviously because you don't want me to punish them, so I won't punish them."

"I knew you wouldn't be angry!" Xiao Yao smiled sweetly and walked towards the house, "I'm asleep, see you tomorrow." ”

"Xiao Yao!"

Xiao Yao turned around and looked at Zhen Yao with a smile.

Zhen Xuan stared at her for a moment, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, he smiled, and threw the smoked ball back to her: "See you tomorrow." ”
