Hexu Mountain is gentle, except for winter, it is full of ice and snow. In other seasons, the trees are evergreen and lush, and the air can smell the scent of unknown flowers.

I feel that after spring, the weather has suddenly warmed a lot, the air is humid, and it is very fresh.

Next to the stone steps of the Cloud Palace, there are fragrant small yellow flowers, dotted with thousands of threads.

Qingyun saw that Du Ruo was worried all the way, and wanted to take her back in the clouds, but Du Ruo insisted on walking back, so he could only follow silently.

The Falling Cloud Hall was hidden in a faint mist, and when you looked up, you could only see a rough outline.

Du Ruo has been thinking about that Xuanyi. She was sure that he was the father of the Xuangui on Yaoguang Mountain, and those dark eyes couldn't be wrong.

She was a little uneasy, she felt that Xuanyi was an unkind monster, if he knew that Fat Tiger not only killed his youngest son but also took out his demon pill to eat, he would not let him go.

That Xuanyi is an untransformed monster, but this Xuanyi is not.

She felt that she should ask Qingyun about Xuanyi. "How many years has that Xuanyi been cultivating?"

Qingyun had already guessed that Du Ruo would ask him. So it's not surprising. "If I'm not mistaken, it must have been more than 4,000 years. ”

Du Ruo was a little surprised, she thought that Xuanyi was the same as a fat tiger, but he had been practicing Taoism for more than a thousand years. Now hearing Qingyun's answer, she couldn't help but worry again. "Do you know how high his cultivation is, and how is it compared to Xiao Heibi?"

Qingyun glanced at her with his spare eyes and said, "Although Xiao Hei is an ancient beast tengu, he is still young, but he is only more than two thousand years old, so he is naturally not that Xuanyi's opponent. Besides, that Xuanyi is the grandson of the divine beast Xuanwu, so he can naturally be regarded as a divine beast. ”

Du Ruo nodded, and the worry between his expressions became stronger. Since Xuanyi can be sure that she has crossed paths with that Xuanyi, if she sees the fat tiger, she will definitely be able to detect that something is wrong.

Qingyun saw that she had been silent, and knew that if he didn't take the initiative to ask, she would definitely not take the initiative to tell him the cause and effect. "But what happened?" Qingyun asked her.

Du Ruo glanced at him, she actually didn't want to tell Qingyun what happened in Qiandeng Town. Although Xuanyi also respectfully called Qingyun an emperor, he was obviously not as respectful as the previous monarch. I think he must have something to rely on to be able to do this. If it was because of her relationship that the relationship between Qingyun and Xuanyi was destroyed, it was not the result she wanted to see.

She shook her head and said, "It's out of the way, I'm just a little curious." Since he is a divine beast, why doesn't he stay in the heavenly realm with Xuanwu?"

Qingyun glanced at her suspiciously. He knew she must be hiding something from him. But he didn't follow in. "Although the descendants of the divine beasts are different from the mortal beasts, they are not born as gods and immortals, they still have to go through the same arduous cultivation as other monsters, and only when the opportunity arises can they attain the Tao and ascend to heaven. After a pause, he continued: "However, since they are the descendants of the Divine Beasts, they are naturally born with spiritual intelligence, and they will inherit some characteristics of the Divine Beasts. ”

Qingyun didn't ask her what was going on, he thought she would say it if she wanted to. If she doesn't want to say, she won't answer even if she asks forcibly.

The two of them walked slowly in the thin mountain mist.

There is a medicine field on the gentle slope of His Highness Luoyun. This was opened by Qingyun many years ago, I never thought that he had disappeared for more than ten years, and the ridges in this medicine field were still neat, next to each other, not like no one took care of it.

There are a lot of herbs growing lush in the medicine field at this time, Du Ruo has lived in the medicine collection village for a few years, and naturally recognizes a lot of herbs, but she doesn't know any of them in this medicine field.

She was a little curious, she remembered that when it snowed before, all the flowers and trees had withered, and this herb had supposedly died a long time ago, but why it had all grown now.

Qingyun glanced at her, she was crouching in front of an herb with a small green fruit growing on it, and she seemed to be very interested in the small fruit.

"This is nightshade fruit, which can help uncivilized monsters open up their spiritual wisdom. ”

Du Ruo raised his head and looked at him, his eyes a little surprised. She has read relevant records in the classics of the Luofu sect, for ordinary animals, the difficulty of cultivation is second, and the most difficult thing is how to embark on the road of cultivation. Man is the spirit of all things, the pride of the sky, born to open the seven orifices, enlighten the spiritual wisdom, animals are different, they are born chaotic, unless they are ordered by a superior or by chance to take some kind of elixir to open the spiritual wisdom, otherwise they will always only live the most instinctively. And this nightshade fruit is one of the rarest elixirs that help to enlighten.

I never thought that this medicine was planted in the field.

"A few years ago, I gave the medicine fairy Baopuzi a few long-lost ancient prescriptions, and he gave me a few bags of nightshade seeds as a gift in return, which has been more than a hundred years, and it is estimated that it is almost ripe. Qingyun replied lightly, he seemed to be able to guess Du Ruo's doubts forever.

Du Ruo nodded, thoughtful. This kind of seed was obtained from Ge Xianweng, but it makes sense.

Fat Tiger and Xiao Hei seemed to hear the conversation outside the Luoyun Palace, and rushed out of the hall.

Although the fat tiger is not as rare as Xiao Hei, it retains the pride and dignity unique to cats, so it runs elegantly.

Xiao Hei was different, his two long black ears jumped uncontrollably in the air as he ran wildly. He seemed to be happy, his mouth was wide open, and his long tongue flew to the back of his head with the arc of running.

Not far behind them was a small red figure. The figure was extremely fast, as if it was flying low, and it seemed unusually light and elegant.

Fat Tiger ran to Du Ruo's side, gently rubbed her hand with his head, and called out coquettishly, "Sister." ”

Xiao Hei glanced at Qingyun, not like other dogs who saw their masters, and pounced on them frantically. He looked very interested, just wagged his tail happily, and sat quietly beside Qingyun.

The clouds also appeared.

She still wore a red gauze dress like that day, and her expression was full of joy.

She looked at Du Ruo first, and then respectfully said: "Caiyun has already told Grandma that tomorrow I will be able to gather the patriarchs of all clans to go to the Shenyin Platform to welcome the emperor back to the demon world." ”

Qingyun said lightly: "No need, I have something important to leave Hexu Mountain for a few days, let's discuss it when I come back." ”

With that, he led Du Ruo slowly in the direction of the Falling Cloud Palace. When he walked to her side, he said again, "You don't want to come to this Falling Cloud Hall in the next few days when I'm away, I will set up an enchantment before I leave, if you don't know that you broke in by mistake and got injured, you will be wronged." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Hei and Fat Tiger immediately followed.

Caiyun's face was red and white for a while, and there was both grievance and hatred between his eyebrows. If it weren't for that woman, she felt that Qingyun wouldn't have done this to her.

She turned around and watched the two of them gradually walk away, her eyes full of disgust and jealousy.
