Jing Yuanyi tilted his head in front of her, followed her gaze, and asked with some doubts, "Little beauty, what are you looking at?" Even if someone of my extraordinary bearing stands in front of you, you can be distracted. β
Chu Ning turned around and asked, "When you came in, didn't you see anyone in the courtyard?" β
Jing Yuan raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: "Little beauty, with such big and round eyes, you won't be blind, right?" This courtyard is full of people, can't you see? β
Chu Ning raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, it was true that Jing's servants were still busy packing up their things, but she had just focused all her attention on Ji Chongguang and completely ignored these people.
Since Ji Chongguang came out of the realm of leaving the soul in the dungeon, the spell has suddenly become more and more unfathomable, maybe he used some special method, he just wanted to meet her alone. Thinking of this, her heart suddenly filled with an indescribable taste, she still wanted to see him, and she would be overjoyed by his sudden appearance.
Her arms hung down, her sleeves just covered her weak wrists, and even Chu Ning herself didn't pay attention to it, the invisible breath overflowed from her fingertips, and a clump of grass that had withered yellow at her feet regained its vitality, and a round dew dropped condensed on the tender green blade of grass.
Chu Ning shook his head, raised his face and asked, "You just said, where is the fun in Wocheng?" β
Jing Yuanyi stepped forward to hold her hand, and saw that she was obviously stiff, and let go without a trace. Chu Ning is a person who doesn't seem to care about anything, but in his heart he takes his feelings very seriously. From childhood to adulthood, except for Su Tianxin, not many people have really treated her well, so once someone treats her well, she has to hurriedly shrink into her shell like a turtle, not daring to get too close.
In the realm of leaving the soul, although she was half-pushed, she was also voluntary, and she didn't want to be involved with Jing Yuanyi anymore, that was really not her style of doing things.
What's more, with a quick glance just now, she already knew what she was thinking in her heart......
Jing Yuanyi looked at her in front of him, his expression was stunned, but he quickly restored the smiling expression on his face to no flaws, and took Chu Ning's sleeve and walked out: "There is a big tree in Wo City, take you to see it." β
Chu Ning was led by him and walked out behind him. She really couldn't think of anything beautiful about a big tree, how much it would cost in Dongqi, and no one would feel sorry if it was cut down to make tables and chairs. But she did want to come out to relax, and saw that Jing Yuanyi's movements had followed the rules, and she didn't want to be too unkind.
Wo City does deserve this name, compared to the Jing's full of wind and sand, it can be called rich here. Jing Yuanyi never stopped talking along the way, and he could pull out a lot of stories everywhere he passed. Chu Ning knew that he wanted to amuse himself, and although he listened absentmindedly, he kept reminding himself to raise his head from time to time, and to be kind to him, nodding or grinning.
I don't know how far I walked, Jing Yuanyi's noisy voice suddenly stopped, and his always smooth voice had a gentle meaning, and only spit out two words: "It's here." β
Chu Ning raised his head, and in front of him was an unnamed, almost sky-tall tree, with a canopy like clouds, covering half of the sky, and the trunk of the tree was made up of many tiny branches entwined together, almost three people hugging each other to encircle them. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, turning into a colorful light in mid-air.
She had never seen such a tall and dense tree, and it almost made people think that this was a good place to make a home. But for some unknown reason, all the leaves on the big tree were still, neither growing nor falling, and even when the wind blew, they did not shake in the slightest.
Jing Yuanyi stood beside her, looked up at the top of the treetops, and his voice became softer and softer: "This is Tongtianmu, do you know its origin?" β
Chu Ning shook his head, this tree never seemed to be recorded in any books.
"It's called Tongtian Wood, but it can't reach the sky," Jing Yuanyi stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the trunk, "Every Xuanniao has only one mate in its life, and if one of them dies, the other will carry its bones on its body forever, until one day, when a group of Xuanniao decides to stay somewhere, they will put these bones down." When the bones of the bird take root, a tree will grow into a heavenly tree, and every branch on the trunk of the tree was once a bird. β
Chu Ning listened attentively, not knowing whether she was charmed by his voice at the moment, or moved by this story, she said softly: "Legend has it that the Xuanniao clan is the god of war, and they have also helped the Great Zhou royal family to fight everywhere when the country was founded, and there are many people who died on the battlefield?" β
"During the founding war, a total of sixty-five people died." Jing Yuanyi's voice was a little hoarse, making Chu Ning almost suspect that he had heard it wrong.
She looked up at the tree again, and countless branches were entwined, far more than sixty-five. She stretched out her hand to touch the trunk of the tree, but she wondered if she had suddenly hallucinated, and the crown of the tree seemed to have countless thick green leaves, and between the branches, there was a faint chirping of birds and the laughter of children.
Chu Ning retracted his hand, and when he looked up again, everything was calm again.
When I returned from Tongtianmu, the sky had already darkened, and I had just cleaned up and stopped, and I was very tired from my worries and Chu Ning, and I just wanted to rest early.
Chu Ning lay on the bed, staring at the curtain above his head, but he couldn't sleep for a while. The little question about the carriage before setting off was obviously that Xi Tao deliberately wanted to make trouble for Forget Worry. If Xi Tao seems to make sense out of hostility to the new housewife, then the last time she forgot to worry about being kidnapped, it is very likely that she did it.
Thinking of nothing, she turned over and saw someone sitting on the edge of the bed, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Just as he was about to get up, the man had already come up. Chu Ning's heart was beating suddenly, she really didn't expect that Ji Chongguang would break into her bedroom directly.
Her face was hot, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she simply kept her mouth shut and kept silent.
But Ji Chongguang became more and more arrogant, directly pressed half of his body to the bed, and reached out to touch Chu Ning's cheek.
The moment his palm touched his cheek, Chu Ning's heart suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning, and he raised his hand and pushed away Ji Chongguang in front of him.
Ji Chongguang didn't speak, he still refused to give up and continued to come over, Chu Ning pointed at the lamp holder with his hand, and a cluster of flames immediately jumped on the lampstand, just lighting up the whole room.
Chu Ning looked at the person in front of him, his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were all familiar from the past, and asked coldly, "What are you doing again?" β
Ji Chongguang's voice sounded hoarser than usual, a little like being hoarse by the wind and sand: "I miss you, come and see you, can't I?" β
Chu Ning just wanted to say that he was sleepy, but his mind moved, and when the words came out, he changed: "What about your spirit pet?" I also bought peaches outside today and left them for him to eat. β
Ji Chongguang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I came to see you at this time, and I will bring it again tomorrow." β
Chu Ning lay down angrily, covered his head with the quilt, and said coquettishly: "Then you will come back tomorrow, I will be tired to death today." β
Her eyes wide open under the covers, listening intently to the movement outside. Ji Chongguang's pets are rarely brought out, and not many people have actually seen them. However, his things have always been excellent, this nine-tailed spirit monkey is also a precious species recorded in the list of famous beasts, unlike ordinary monkeys, they do not eat peaches, because this monkey's five senses are particularly sensitive, and the tiny hairs on the peach will make it sneeze constantly, and in severe cases, it will block breathing.
That person's repeated performance today had already made Chu Ning suspicious, so he deliberately used this to deceive him, but he didn't expect to be tried out by her, this person was not Ji Chongguang.
Who would that be......
Chu Ning clung to the quilt, knowing that a quilt was not much better than nothing for two people who knew magic, but he still had a glimmer of hope that he could rely on this quilt to block the people outside.
After a short silence, "Ji Chongguang" outside spoke again: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." Then there was the sound of Suosuo's clothes rubbing and footsteps.
After a long time, Chu Ning poked his head out of the quilt and let out a long breath...... I almost suffocated under the covers.
The room was empty, and the fake Ji Chongguang was still very considerate, and extinguished the fire on the lampholder for her, probably really believing that she was tired and wanted to go to bed early.
Chu Ning couldn't sleep anymore, this situation was too weird. She remembered that Forget Worry had said that on the night when the newlywed cave room was robbed, the facial features of the people who went in looked very similar to He Zhen, but their demeanor and movements were not so similar, so they were seen through by Forget Worry.
She has always felt that the main envoy who robbed her worries should be for the purpose of competing for favor, either Yurong or Xi Tao, so what is the purpose of appearing with her this time?
Early the next morning, Chu Ning rushed into the room of forgetting worries with two dark blue eyes, told her about this strange situation, and finally asked tentatively: "You say...... Is there a spell that can change your appearance? β
Forget the worry is very calm: "I've never heard of it, generally speaking, the origin of any magic is just to control things, not just do whatever you want. β
She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Ning, only to feel that Chu Ning's face was abnormally red today, and even the whole person was twisted, so she asked jokingly: "As for being afraid of this?" Although the facial features look very similar, we can see that this person has changed his appearance twice. β
Chu Ning twisted his fingers and twisted them, put them to his ear, told her what happened in the underground palace later, and asked in a voice as small as a mosquito: "That...... I just want to make sure that the one in the realm of leaving the soul should be ...... I can't have a problem......"
