(2) Defrauding the peach

The emperor thought that she was frightened by the imperial spirit in her body, but the other party propped up the table with one hand and tilted his head and said, "Tianjun, why don't we gamble on a game?" ”

"The old rule, I play black," she said, lifting the small bamboo basket at her feet and placing it on the stone table, her hand gently patting the bamboo lid on it, "If I win, the contents of this basket will be mine." ”

He glanced at the bamboo basket and thought to himself that the treasures of the world were all gathered in this imperial city, what rare objects had not been seen? Today, I was aroused by this mediocre basket, and responded with a smile: "I don't mind playing a game with you when I have nothing to do." ”

Knowing that he would not accept her gift no matter what, he led himself to play chess with a radical method, and if he won, then he must accept this gift. If he loses, it is a default that his skills are not as good as others, and in this way, he is in a dilemma.

It's quite clever, but if she thinks that he will obediently obey in this way, then she is too naΓ―ve.

After a game, although she played in a disorderly manner, she pressed step by step, and it seemed that he really underestimated this woman. The white chess piece in his hand was uncertain for a while before falling steadily.

Chu Jiu raised her chin, picked up a black chess piece and brushed it in front of his eyes, just as a white piece in the chessboard turned black, she "slammed" the black piece in her hand.

"Hahaha I won," Chu Jiu picked up the basket on the side, lifted the bamboo lid and took out the contents directly, "So, the peach of the Golden Mother will be mine." ”

"But the rumored Yaochi Golden Mother of Yushan?" He looked at her and nodded proudly holding the peach, and tepidly picked up a white piece and fell, "Even if you secretly change me a chess piece, this game of chess is destined to be a draw." ”

Chu Jiu, who was seen through the trick, held the peach and gnawed it, and wiped his mouth with a thin sleeve in the other party's stunned eyes, "This peach is very sweet, I finally tasted it today." ”

After he saw her eat and wipe it clean, he actually threw the nucleus into the bamboo basket. Such arrogant behavior made him stand up and glare angrily.

"This peach must have been given to me by the Golden Mother of Yaochi," he got up and lifted the bamboo basket, regardless of whether there was a Golden Mother of Yaochi in this world, and handed the basket to the woman who was leaning on the stone table, "Even if I can't go to Yushan, with her old man's magical powers, she should know who swallowed this peach." ”

"If you dare to bet with me, you can afford to lose, not to mention that you are still a heavenly monarch, and you are even more worthy of your word." She crossed her hands on her hips, raised her head confidently and snorted coldly, "Even if the old man Jin Mu knows about this, since we have won a draw, it is fair to leave this nucleus to you." ”

He was almost persuaded by her, although it was a crooked reason, but if you think about it, there is something useful. Just as she was about to ask something, she turned into a blue bird, her whole body shining with emerald light, and her tail reflected a blue and purple circle.

"Yue Bird, do you want to go or not."

As she spoke, her phoenix-like tail delicately circled the stone pillar, stretched her thin neck to the top of the pavilion, and only said, "Tianjun, we will come to see you again when we are free." And he disappeared along with the blue-blue feathers.

Only the sound of ringing and dingdong was left in this pavilion, stirring a layer of familiar and infinitely wanting to get closer in his heart.

"I don't remember, I forgot about such a big rich man, it's infuriating."

Chu Jiu knocked on his knees, his lowered head suddenly propped up with one hand, stared at the emperor with bright eyes, took off the jade pendant on the emperor's waist in the air, and said while taking a closer look: "However, since Tianjun, your old man knows me, in order to prevent the queen from cheating, it must be the same to take the medical fee from you." ”

"That's the peach pit you left behind that day, and now it's taller than you. The lessons from the past are here, and you don't forget to calculate me in your little head," the emperor looked at the jade pendant she held in her hand, smiled helplessly, and looked at Chu Jiu, who was obsessed with wealth, and pointed to the dead tree, "I didn't expect to see you again, I am very happy." ”

"It's just a dead tree, even if it's real, without the water of Yao Chi, I'm afraid that the fruit will not be a peach."

"This tree blooms and bears fruit every three thousand years, even if it is planted, how can I be fated to see it in just a few decades in the world," the emperor's hand slowly ran the hair on his face, and his eyes pressed a few horizontal lines, "Chu Jiu, if you see her, let her come back, I will be in the situation for decades at most." ”

"Who? Do I know each other? ”

"It seems that you really don't remember," the emperor turned around, and the hand behind his back was tightly grasped and released, "On that day, she should have come with you to bring me a peach, but she hid on the top of this pavilion, so she thought that you were the only one who came." ”

"If I settle the queen's account in a while and send some delicate and rare gadgets, I can consider it," Chu Jiu took a few steps forward, looking at the distant back and puffing out his cheeks, "I really said that I am really like a blue bird sitting down by the golden mother of Yaochi." ”

At this time, Tan Yingkong, who went there, happened to find Yuexia Palace and turned over towards the pavilion.

"Ah Jiu, I'm relieved to see that you're fine." His blue eyes were full of anxiety, and he ran over and grabbed her hand and dragged it into his arms, "That black Gu spider led me all the way to the moat and disappeared, I was worried that she would turn the tiger away from the mountain and harm you, so I rushed back." ”

She was buried in his arms, listening to the slightly faster heartbeat, and her own heart began to follow his rhythm, and her cheeks flew into pink halos.

"Sister Ben is fine," she didn't have enough confidence so she pushed him away and straightened her expression, "but she went to great lengths to lead you to the moat, isn't there something strange and precious hidden in that river?" ”

"I see the Valley of the Clouds, right at the source of the moat," he looked nervous, and in a panic the half-raised hand clenched into a fist and fell back to his waist, "I'm afraid that something big will move the Valley of the Clouds from the Valley of the Clouds to the feet of the Son of Heaven, and I have to go back and take a look." Just ......"

"Empty, haven't you forgotten that Sister Ben is a cultivator, those demons and monsters have to back down three points when they see me, you better go back and worry about your own people," she interrupted him, using her fingers as a knife to cut off a yellow talisman in her hand, and handed it to him with the half of the talisman that floated down, "This tracer talisman is half of us, and we can sense the direction of the other party at that time." ”

"However, my heart is still up and down," he grabbed her hand, as if catching a fleeting firefly and holding it tightly, "Ah Jiu, aren't you as good as me?" ”

"Sister Ben has finally made a breakthrough, so naturally she has to stay and check carefully," she took the opportunity to stuff the half of the yellow talisman into the placket of his wide robe, "Besides, I haven't confiscated the consultation fee, and no fool in the world will miss so many silver taels in vain." ”

"You are a little money fan, you really can't afford to lose at all," he sighed, and put her hand on his heart, "Don't force yourself, when I come back, I'll clean up this group of demons and monsters for you." ”

Tan Yingkong shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked a few steps before Chu Jiu pulled his sleeve, and when he turned around, he saw her rarely and seriously: "Do you know that the fire you used in the Silver Rat Cave that day was not an ordinary thing, but the three-flavor true fire in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun." ”

"It's just a move that can be made, don't worry."

He patted her on the shoulder and flew towards the west, her hand empty, and she was still looking in the direction of Yuexia Palace when she was far away, until her eyes fell on the lonely dead wood, and her pupils dilated suddenly.

They led the empty space back to the Valley of the Clouds in a twist and turn, and the rest of the story could only be old things that she couldn't remember. Don't think that she won't dare to move if she seals her spiritual sense in the dead wood, since she has entered the tiger's den, she really can't help herself if she doesn't catch a tiger cub.

Thinking of this, she swept her eyebrows, the red rope in her hand came out of her hand, and the blue feathers split the dead tree in two from above. I saw a small pink ball fly out of the trend and fly into the distance.

The orb traveled eastward along the moat until it was not far from the point where the river emptied into the sea, and flew straight towards the tower in the sea. In such a vast ocean, Chu Jiu couldn't help but pat his heart, and followed the rose-red ball to the top of the tower.

I saw that on the top of the spire, a woman holding an umbrella and standing barefoot on the extremely sharp tower needle, with her head up and her eyes closed, the corners of her clothes hanging down peacefully, and the wind passing, which could not be seen by the eyes of mortals. As soon as the orb approached her, it shattered into ten thousand points of light, circled around her, and then fell into the body of the rose-clad woman.

Chu Jiu just stared blankly in mid-air, and there was no trace of intent in his heart to prevent this woman from waking up. I saw that the man put one foot on his knee, one foot on the top of the tower, and as soon as his foot fell, the three thin jade bracelets on his ankle made a very nice sound.

The voice, she was sure, must have been heard before. The indescribable familiarity made her even more desperate that the woman had woken up.

The man's eyelashes moved, and the corners of his calm mouth immediately formed a line, throwing the umbrella in his hand, and said angrily: "Chu Jiu, look at the good things you have done." I've worked hard for twenty years, and now you've messed with it. ”

Chu Jiuyi took over the "hidden weapon", raised his umbrella to block the wind and fell to the tiles on the top of the tower, looked up and said: "They went to great lengths to let me find your spiritual sense, if I don't let you out, won't their deployment behind them be chaotic." ”

"You brainless idiot, you can't tell that this is the Solid Spirit Array," the man pointed at Chu Jiu below, his face full of anger, "Can't you see such a big hole in this Zhenling Tower?" ”

As she spoke, the man turned his face away, the wind began to blow across her neck, her long black hair began to float in the afterglow of the sunset, the corners of her rose-red clothes floated up with her raised feet, and a beautiful ring sound sounded again, and her memory began to turn.
