"First! Why did you just go between the two of us? Are you using us as an obstacle for you to run away? ”

A chill burst out of Xiao Xia's eyes, looking directly into her eyes, as sharp as a cold light piercing, and the cold voice without a trace of temperature continued: "Second! Why do you step on the armrest in front of my palm and blaspheme the deity? ”

When the woman heard this, she instantly felt as if she was in a snowy realm in thin clothes, and her body trembled involuntarily, and the person in front of her seemed to be not a person, but the Nine Nether Emperor in a black robe.

"The last one! Why are they chasing you? What do you have in your arms? ”

Xiao Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the woman's pale cheeks, he could feel that the thing in her arms must be far above the trunk of the Imperial God Tree, otherwise that group of middle-aged men would never be so desperate to chase her, unless this thing was very precious.

"This ....." The woman gritted her silver teeth, obviously hesitating about something, but finally replied truthfully: "I don't know what this is, but I heard them say that this is the heart of the Imperial God Tree, so I stole this thing." ”

"What did you just say?! The heart of the Sacred Tree? ”

The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector, who was sitting at the door eating a meal, sucked in a green vegetable, heard the woman's voice, his figure flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes shining brightly, and he was shocked in disbelief.

Xiao Xia looked at the two of them without moving, but the strange fluctuations in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"The heart of the sacred tree is stronger than the trunk just by hearing the name."

He didn't say anything, he stood still, listening to the woman's words.

"yes!"

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "It's just that I didn't expect them to move in the room, otherwise they would have found out that things were stolen." ”

"Then you also saw it, and it was because they wanted to chase me that I had no choice but to pass between my seniors and your friends, and I also had to step on the handrail and use light skills to escape."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head helplessly, and then put on a look of wanting to kill, swallowed her saliva in fear, and looked at Xiao Xia in a black robe.

"I see!" Xiao Xia nodded heavily, and was about to say something, when the Southwest Venerable Realm Protector in front of him suddenly spoke excitedly one step ahead of him:

"Where's the heart of the god tree? Show me! ”

The face of the creature seemed to be full of the four big words "hunger and thirst", staring at the woman on the bed with fierce eyes, like that man.

The woman slowly took out a palm-sized white jade box from her arms, and handed it to him with trembling fingers.

"Not bad!" The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector gently held the white jade box in his hand and said appreciatively: "Originally, I thought that they would not be able to preserve such treasures, but now it seems that these juniors are not useless. ”

"Don't be rambling, open it up and take a look!"

Xiao Xia urged impatiently, there are so many words about this thing, isn't it obvious that he is forcing himself to make a scene......

"It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry...", the Southwest Venerable Realm Protector pursed his lips and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

Although he said that, he quickly opened the white jade box, and in the box, a fist-sized bead-shaped piece of wood was lying quietly on the golden brocade cloth, and it didn't look like anything special.

"This is the heart of the Mijin Tree?" Xiao Xia frowned, and couldn't help but wonder, "Are you sure?" ”

"Is this broken wood the heart of a tree?"

The woman was stunned and said, she couldn't have imagined that what she had stolen was such a thing, which looked like a wooden ball in the temple.

"That's right!" The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector didn't care about Xiao Xia's suspicions at all, nodded with a firm expression and said: "The Imperial God Tree is plain in nature, it likes to grow in the barren land where Liao is uninhabited, its tree appearance is no different from ordinary trees, it is not good to be ambitious, if you are not a person who really understands it, even if you stand in front of the tree, you may not know that this is the Imperial God Tree." ”

"It's because its heart of the tree combines these characteristics that it's very ordinary, like a wooden ball."

The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector touched his chin and pondered for a moment before explaining to the two of them.

"So what's the use of it?"

Xiao Xia looked at this wooden ball, and what he was most concerned about was the use of the heart of the Imperial God Tree, which was practical.....

"Purpose?" Hearing this, the Southwest Venerable Realm Protector smiled, looking very obscene, and said: "It has many uses, such as being used to make high-grade weapons, and for example, it is used to refine the high-grade elixir "Imperial God Barrier Breaking Pill", and then it is used to make fire, etc., these are its uses. ”

"It's a lot, but.... As for what you mean by starting a fire? Is it used for cooking? Xiao Xia couldn't help but complain, he can understand the first two, but what the hell is the fire in the back?

"That's right! It's just to make a fire! The flame born from the heart of the Imperial God Tree is even hotter than the Danhuo, and it is the flame that the Onmyoji who is proficient in the alchemy profession dreams of, otherwise you think it is really cooking? ”

The Southwest Protector shook his head quite amusedly, even if it was cooking, it was not a delicacy in the world.

"However, the only pity is that there are almost very few onmyoji who are proficient in the alchemy profession in the current Lower Land Realm, but it's a pity that this Imperial God Tree Heart is gone."

The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector looked at the sky with a regretful look and sighed, if it was more than one hundred and fifty years ago or half a month ago, even if he couldn't find those few elderly onmyoji who were proficient in the alchemy profession, he could also hand over the Heng Lao Club in exchange for points, but now, it was mostly tears.

"In that case, then give it to me!"

After Xiao Xia heard his words, his eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze flickered, and the heart of the Imperial God Tree was in his hands, alchemy, he wouldn't! But Ling Daozi will!

"Whatever~" The Southwest Venerable Realm Protector waved his hand indifferently, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Anyway, it's useless for me to take it now, if you have a better use, then you can take it." ”

"Don't worry!" Xiao Xia patted him on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned manner: "I won't treat you badly!" ”

"We'll see." The flame of enthusiasm of the Southwest Venerable Realm Protector was extinguished, and he returned to his usual lazy appearance: "I'm going to eat." ”

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and devoured them for a while, and after filling his stomach, he lay on the bed, squinted, and gradually fell asleep.

At this time, Xiao Xia suddenly turned his head to look at the woman who was also sitting on the bed and said coldly: "Thinking that you are an unintentional move, the deity will not pursue your offense." ”

"Let's go!"

Xiao Xia waved his robe, and the door of the room automatically opened to welcome the woman out.

"Get out now, they'll kill me."

As soon as the woman walked to the entrance, she seemed to remember something, and after a pause, she turned back to Xiao Xia with a look of fear on her face.

"What's my business?" Xiao Xia said indifferently: "If you don't leave, it will be too late for me to regret it." ”

The woman's face changed, and when she was about to walk out, suddenly a shadow appeared at the door, it was Uii Jingxin with an aggrieved and angry face!

"Who is this woman?"
