Chapter Twenty-Three: Waiting for a Void
Seeing that I was left behind, I accelerated under my feet, and chased after him, gritting my teeth and bound to walk beside him! But no matter how hard I tried, I was always a foot away from him! After running for a while, my breathing was a little unsmooth, and I stopped in anger and stopped running!
But after I stopped, I was still a foot away from him, not far, not close, no more, no less... He must have done it on purpose to keep me from getting close... Could it be that the heart is weak?
I touched my chin, squinted slightly, and looked at his back, my pace steady, my back straight, and I couldn't see anything wrong.
"Emperor, how many immortals are cultivating on Qionghua Mountain?"
Since I am not allowed to come close, then I can find something to talk about, and if I don't believe it, I can't find a flaw.
"You're the second. ”
"What about the first one?" I asked casually.
... He stopped, looked back at me, said nothing, turned and walked on.
Huh?
Meaning, the whole Qionghua is only me and Liyuan? I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, laughed out loud, hurriedly covered my mouth, bit my fingers, lowered my head, and glanced up from the corners of my eyes, but fortunately he didn't pay attention.
In the blink of an eye, I came to the back mountain, the clouds surrounded like mist, surrounded the whole mountain, faintly the wind came from the front, whistling and hissing, the plants and trees were lush and strong, full of aura, and then there was a cliff, steep and sharp, and there was no bottom in sight.
"Come here. ”
I was still looking down on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly I left the abyss to speak, and I immediately turned around and ran towards him, and asked with a smile, "What does the emperor command?"
"Lend your spiritual power to use. ”
Liyuan was not polite to me, and before I could answer, he directly took my hand and covered it on top of a small sapling that was about to die, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and pure spiritual power was exported from the palm of my hand and injected into the body of the small sapling.
Gradually, the dry branches and leaves of the small sapling began to tremble, although it was extremely difficult and slow, but it was indeed absorbing the spiritual power I output, my eyes widened in surprise, and then I looked at Liyuan, his indifferent eyes flashed a trace of joy, although it was extremely shallow and light, but I really saw it, that fleeting different look.
"Emperor, this is?"
The spiritual power output only took a few breaths, and Liyuan stopped me from continuing, I looked at the little sapling, because the spiritual power was not absorbed enough, it was still the half-dead appearance, why did it suddenly stop me?
"You don't cultivate enough, you can't give too much. ”
... I silently, Emperor, are you still caring or are you making fun of me? sighed a little sadly, pursed his lips and glanced at him, touching the little white tiger in his arms, which was not noisy or noisy, it was a little gratification, just as if he was caring about me.
"In the future, if you give it a little spiritual power every day, you can help it survive. ”
Liyuan's eyes are serious, and his ink-stained eyes seem to be a deep pool that will indulge people, I looked back at him, nodded mechanically, and suddenly... I reacted, and immediately became angry, who taught you to make a beauty! Staring at Liyuan, he was expressionless......
Stomp your feet resentfully, no one asked you for help, so you agreed, too undetermined and unreserved!
"Why does the Emperor care so much about this tree?" I asked, angrily.
"This is the three-bead tree, the ancient sacred tree, and it is of the same origin as you. ”
I took a closer look, but I couldn't see that such a dry and decaying sapling was a sacred tree? Worse.
"And how did it wither like this?"
"That's what you bring back from the end of your life. ”
"That's... Did the Emperor send him back?"
Li Yuan nodded, "I sent it back, but it didn't get better, my immortal power is useless." ”
"So the emperor asked me to stay?"
Liyuan nodded again, but I was depressed to the extreme, thinking that I was letting me stay because I was a little different in his heart, but I never thought that it was for a tree!
"I need someone to take care of it. ”
What does it mean to be full of joy and wait for an empty place?
Liyuan said that he left, leaving me to sit sadly on the stone table, holding my chin and looking up at the sky, sighing faintly, and then chasing in the direction of Liyuan...
"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor Liyuan... You wait for me. ”
I struggled to keep up with him, and when I saw him stop in front of a room, I immediately followed him, winking and smiling at him.
Li Yuan still looked indifferent, and his thin lips lightly opened: "Why did you come with you?"
"Huh?" I winked innocently, "Doesn't the emperor teach Di Wu to cultivate?"
"The aura in the back mountain is abundant, which is beneficial to cultivation. ”
I lowered my head and crushed the ground on my toes, "But you're not here..."
He muttered quietly, he should not have heard, for a long time, there was no reply. I pursed my lips and raised my eyes, but I saw him staring at me, his eyes far and empty, as if he was lost in thought.
"The Emperor... Emperor?"
I raised my hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
He came back to his senses, his brows were tightly locked, and he glanced at me with deep meaning, I thought he had remembered something, and before the joy came to his heart, he was washed away by his words: "As a divine tree, the cultivation is so low, why can't you cultivate well?"
The feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made my heart feel very uncomfortable, and I knew that there was no contempt in his words, but... Listening to it inexplicably, I just feel wronged, Fu Yu has never said that my cultivation is low before......
"Does the emperor also think that Di Wu is embarrassed?"
I actually don't want to cry, I was ridiculed by the fairy world Xianliao, and I was embarrassed by Yao Hua, I have never been sad, but his words made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I blinked, lifted my sleeve and wiped it casually, turning my head to the other side to keep him from seeing.
“... No shame. ”
He slowed his voice and spoke to me.
I stiffened my head and caught a glimpse of the stunned and helpless meaning in his gaze, I sniffed, "Then why did the emperor say that?"
"Didn't you come to Qionghua just to increase your cultivation? ”
It's not for cultivation, I flattened my mouth, but I didn't dare to say it to him, at least not now.
"Doesn't the emperor teach me to cultivate?"
I took advantage of his soft-heartedness at the moment, secretly usurped the corner of his sleeve, and waited slowly when he would let go of his hand.
"There are ancient books and secret strategies in the library cabinet, you can look at them as you like. He motioned for me to look at the other attic, and although he frowned and glanced at my hand, he didn't take it away...
"Di Wu's qualifications are very poor, what if there is something I don't understand?"
“... Come to the temple and inquire. ”
He pondered for a moment, and finally said the answer I wanted, and I smiled happily, "Thank you, Emperor!"
He bowed his head and entered the hall, I held the little white tiger, and went to the library with joy, raising the corners of his mouth all the way, and his eyes were clear.
"Little tiger, how can you sleep so well?"
I touched its little head and tried to shake it awake, but it kicked its limbs impatiently, glanced at me with sleepy eyes, and closed its eyes again... I'm stunned, Shicai, is it despising me?
Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you will be called Xiaobai in the future!"
I laughed evilly twice, and flicked its head lightly with my fingers, who made you despise me? For the time being, there is only the share of being bullied.
God's library is different... As far as the eye can see, a dazzling array of books neatly piled up in the entire space, a small couch, a several, a screen, simple furnishings, incense burners curling green smoke swirling, fragrant and elegant, extremely comfortable environment.
I randomly drew a book, opened it, and introduced the ancient beasts.
Bai Ze, Kui, Phoenix, Qilin, 梼杌, 犼, Chongming Bird, Gluttony, Philip, Zhuqian, Chaos, Qingji......
Phoenix, suddenly remembered the last time I met the Feng brothers and sisters, they were really like fire, I shrugged my shoulders and continued to read.
"Emperor, Emperor!"
Holding the ancient book, I lay at the door of Liyuan and called out.
"What?"
"I don't understand..."
"Come in. ”
I trotted in, put the ancient book in front of his eyes, and said: "This is it, the book says that the phoenix is an ancient divine beast, if it can be cultivated into a human form, it should be the honor of the gods, then why is there no god in the phoenix clan today?"
"Now the phoenix clan is just the bloodline of a god, and the bloodline is very sparse, and there is no phoenix condensed into a godhead. Li Yuan's gaze on the chess game skimmed over the ancient book and explained.
"What about those gods of the Feng Clan?"
"Silence is gone. ”
Is it death? the death of God.
"Is it because of the war between gods and demons in ancient times? Don't they have any blood left?" I propped my cheeks and propped myself on the table.
"Hmm. ”
“... Well, that...?"
"Huh?"
Seeing that I knew everything, Liyuan hummed lightly, I touched my nose, my eyes turned several times, and I still didn't think of it... What to ask next.
In fact, I just wanted to find an excuse to get around him......
"Can the Emperor help me see what is going on?"
I suddenly lifted the little white tiger and put it in front of his eyes.
"How?"
"It's been sleeping all the time, from the time Master gave it to me until now, is it unwell, or sick, or is it injured?"
Because there was indeed some worry in my heart, my tone couldn't help but be a little urgent, Li Yuan stretched out his hand, the white fingers were distinct, and stroked it over, and the gentle fairy power swam around the little white tiger, it sighed comfortably, turned over in my palm, and continued to sleep......
I looked at Liyuan's hand and was stunned, the appearance in my memory, slender and good-looking, I would be slightly strained when holding me, the only time I shook hands, the warm palm, the temperature that I still coveted in my sleep. I twisted my head, stopped looking, exhaled deeply, pulled a smile at the corner of my mouth, and turned back again, Li Yuan had already withdrawn his fingers.
"No problem. ”
He looked at the game again, his eyes cold.
"Oh..."I let out an 'oh' in disappointment, because I really couldn't find a reason to stay, so I stood up stupidly: "The emperor... Xiaoxian continued to read. ”
"Go ahead. ”
Actually, you can save it... I looked at him expectantly, but I didn't see him raise his eyes, only to see the ink and green silk falling to the ground.
Silently shrugged his nose at him, turned around and walked out, turning back three times in one step... I didn't hear him speak until I walked out of the door, "Alas", I sighed, the road is long...
Not to mention picking up his clothes, it's hard to get close to him...
