Chapter 044: Duchen Mixed into the Xi Palace
At the bottom of the West Sea, the wind guarded the barrier of the Xigong Palace, constantly looking, and when Duchen appeared in his line of sight, he bent down to worship, and before he could speak, he was helped up by Duchen. Du Chen looked eager:
"Have you made any new discoveries?"
Wind's hand raised and said:
"Tell Your Highness, someone from the Xigong Palace went out this morning. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming, and Duchen pulled the wind and hidden. The two women were dressed plainly, and the three men were dressed in black robes. The five people flew to the entrance of the palace, each of the five cut off their middle fingers and dripped the blood of their fingers into the enchantment, the transparent enchantment suddenly became shaped and cracked out of it, seeing that the five people were about to fly in, Duchen gave up the wind, turned into a small bee attached to the sleeve of one of the women, and flew into the Xigong with the five people.
As soon as he flew into the Xigong Palace, the barrier mouth was sealed. Duchen thought that it was so dangerous, but it was good to fly in with them. It's just that he thinks it's strange that after these five people cut their fingers, they all showed black-scaled fish tails, but the upper body was still a human body. What kind of race is this, like people but not people, like demons and not demons, he really hasn't seen it.
"Let's go to the Water Seeking Sect to ask for holy water to drink!"
One of the men in the middle suggested, and the other four followed him. Duchen inspected the Xi Palace, this palace located in the West Sea, not like other palaces under the sea, but like a city on earth. The barrier isolates the sea water, and in the Xigong Palace, there are pavilions and pavilions, and there are thatched huts and bamboo huts, which seem to have strict grades. On both sides of the road, there are rockeries and various ores, but there are too few flowers, if it is not for the mottled colors of the ores, it will be monotonous after all. The three or two pedestrians on the road were no different from the humans in the mortal world, but they were not surprised to see the five people jumping on the road, and they also took the initiative to say hello, so they were very curious.
The five men searched for water and found a hut with a lake outside it and a wooden boat parked on it. A white-haired old man was sitting by the lake fishing, and when he heard the sound, he turned around and raised his eyelids slightly, and said:
"Are you back?"
The man who took the lead took out a bag of things from his sleeve, and when the white-haired old man saw the bag of tea, he excitedly abandoned the fishing rod and walked over quickly, and he took the tea leaves. Then he did not know what was being said, and soon a bottle of holy water appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the man who took the lead, and walked happily back to the lake with the tea in his hand, and sat down on the stone to continue his fishing.
The man took the holy water he had given him, drank it, and recovered, and the other four did the same, and all of them recovered. The five resigned one after another, but Duchen did not leave, he recovered his body and stood in place.
Shui Zong seemed to be aware of it, and he didn't raise his head, and asked:
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Du Chen arched his hand and said:
"Stay and drink tea with your seniors. ”
Shui Zong thought this kid was very interesting, so he turned his head and glanced at him, he was dressed in a dark robe, his facial features were exquisite, but his expression was extremely soft. Xigong, except for his nephew Kitazawa, he has never seen a good-looking male merman, is it because he is old and can't keep up with the times?
"Little doll, what's your name, and who are your parents?"
"My name is Amu, my parents, and I passed away when I was a child. ”
A trace of distress flashed in Shui Zong's eyes, and he sighed:
"Another poor child, boy, come here, help me carry this basket back, and I will cook it for you tonight." ”
Du Chen obediently ran over and carried a fish basket for him, and followed him, although his hair and beard were white, but his spirit was strong, and his pace was very steady.
"Son, is there anyone else in your family?"
Duchen shook his head. Shui Zong patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I'm getting old, and I've stopped asking about the mundane affairs of Xigong for a long time. Don't look at this Xigong Palace, but there are more than 50,000 people, like you juniors, the old man really can't recognize whose child you are!"
"I'm getting old, and I've stopped asking about the mundane affairs of Xigong for a long time. Don't look at this Xigong Palace, but there are more than 50,000 people, like you juniors, the old man really can't recognize whose child you are!"
After saying that, he held his beard and smiled. Du Chen followed him into the thatched house, and saw that the furnishings in the house were minimal, but the windows were bright and clean, and they felt very comfortable. Shui Zong took the fish basket and went to the back yard to make a fire and cook.
Du Chen thought to himself that the appearance of this water sect before giving birth to holy water was a bit like Xue Qin weaving cloud brocade in Xiqiu, could it be that Xue Qin had some connection with this water sect?
He walked to the backyard and saw that Shui Zong was placing a convex lens-like ice cube on the ground, he recited a witch spell in his mouth, and a bright light appeared at the front end of the ice cube, which was facing the ice heart, and a point of light appeared in the ice heart and was cast on the ground, and Shui Zong placed some dead grass in the light spot, and recited the witch spell, and in an instant, the dry grass burned, and Shui Zong took the fire and put it into the stove with satisfaction, and began to cook.
Duchen felt that everything in the Xi Palace was really amazing, and he had seen the Water Sect chanting the witch spell to give birth to holy water, and chanting the witch spell to ignite the fire, so he felt that it should not be a strange thing for Xue Qin to weave cloud brocade, could it be that Xue Qin was really not the bloodline of the Heavenly Clan? He approached the front of the stove and lowered his head to help watch the fire, and the fire was burning vigorously in the stove.
"The mana of the seniors is really strong, can the seniors weave the clouds in the sky?"
"Heavenly clouds? ”
Shui Zong shook his head and flipped the fish in the pot with a shovel.
"Do you know that the seniors know who in the clan can weave cloud brocade?"
"I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have never heard of anyone who can weave clouds in the sky. Amu, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, I'm just curious. ”
Shui Zong smiled and replied:
"When I'm your age, curiosity is not small, child, curiosity is a good thing, don't let it be extinguished. ”
He lifted the lid of the pot, and the smell of fish slowly spread, Duchen felt that this kind of fish fragrance was a little more fragrant than the food in the Nine Palaces, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he was hungry, Shui Zong looked at his greedy appearance, and asked with a smile:
"Incense, huh?"
"Incense. ”
Shui Zong smiled with satisfaction, he suddenly liked this boy named "Amu" a little, maybe he had been lonely for a long time, once someone talked to him, he couldn't help but rejoice!
Shui Zong beckoned Du Chen into the house to sit, he was busy setting up the dishes and chopsticks, and specially took a bottle of old wine, poured two small cups, he was very happy today, Du Chen was a little embarrassed, he mixed into the Xi Palace, met him, he didn't doubt his identity, and he was so good to himself, he was somewhat ashamed.
"Senior, I'm good at cooking tea, I'll cook a pot of tea for you after dinner!"
