Chapter 71: Sea Spirit Leaves
"Impossible, right? There are still people in this world who can destroy the Witch King's Gu poison?" Sun Li couldn't believe it, in his mind, Kong Dexin was a god-like person, although he was doing things for the Sun family and a servant of the Sun family, it didn't affect his status in Sun Li's heart at all.

"I can't find out why. Moreover, the Gu poison has been removed, and the Gu worm is also in a half-dead state, which is so powerful. It's good that I didn't die completely, otherwise I would have been devoured, the Gu worm has been taken back by me, and our plan has completely failed. Kong Dexin said with palpitations.
"It's so serious?Except for the eight guards in the Heavenly King's Mansion, we can't provoke any powerful people? Could it be ......? Sun Li suddenly thought of someone and exclaimed.
"I hope it's not him, otherwise if there is another Gu worm counterattack, I won't die and I won't have half a life. The more people talked, the farther and farther they went, slowly beyond the scope of Xiang Qingxi's divine sense.
"Gu worms, what is it?" Xiang Qingxi sat in the courtyard and didn't move, Sun Li's conversation with them caught his attention, "It turns out that the Heavenly King was killed by these few people, and it is really terrible that a heaven-level master actually killed an ordinary person." When he was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the door of the bedroom of the king, he looked up, only to see a group of people exclaiming at the door of the bedroom, after a while, the crowd dispersed, and the source of the exclamation was actually the king, the old man who had been bedridden for more than half a year, trembling and walking out by himself, staggering like a toddler, everyone looked at the old man in surprise, with tears in their eyes.
"Benefactor?" As soon as the Heavenly King walked out of the bedroom, he saw Xiang Qingxi sitting in the courtyard through the cracks.
Seeing the old man walking towards him, still calling his benefactor in his mouth, Xiang Qingxi looked left and right, as if he was indeed calling himself, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said, "Old man, are you calling me?"
"Hmm......" The old man was about to kneel down after speaking, but Xiang Qingxi and the others supported him.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Qingxi didn't let go of his hand, but tilted his head and asked the old man.
"Ahem...... Cough...... I just want to kowtow to the benefactor a few times, the great kindness of the benefactor is really beyond retribution, if it weren't for you, there would have been no Celestial Empire and the Li family a long time ago. "The old man who has been hanging water for a long time said that he has some confidence in it.
"Hehe, old man, are you serious?" Xiang Qingxi smiled bitterly, "I saved your granddaughter, but you don't need to kowtow in person to thank you, right?"
"Benefactor, I'm not talking about my granddaughter, I'm here for myself, for those who survived that war, cough ...... Cough...... I would also like to thank you for your kindness to me once again. ”
"Ahem......" Xiang Qingxi looked left and right, a little embarrassed, also cleared his throat, tilted his head lower, looked at the old man's eyes and said, "Yes, again, old man, you must have remembered something wrong, right?"
"I'm not mistaken, benefactor, let's go sit over there. The Heavenly King straightened up the slightly hunched back, said solemnly, and then shook his fingers and pointed to the place where Xiang Qingxi was sitting just now.
With everyone looking at each other, Xiang Qingxi helped the old man sit on the stone chair in the courtyard.
"Ahem...... Sixty years have passed, and your appearance has not changed," the old man sighed as he sat down, "You made the dish I ate today......, right?" Cough...... The taste hasn't changed, it's still the same, and the ambiguous feeling after eating it is exactly the same. ”
Liu Shengnan covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Grandpa, sixty years? ”
"Don't think I'm old and confused, I'm very sober," the old man turned his head and suddenly saw Liu Shengnan, raised his finger and said, "It's you?" and glanced at Xiang Qingxi again, "You? You are all so young?", his eyes swept around again, whether standing or sitting, and only after reading did he withdraw his gaze.
"Huh?" Liu Sheng was also confused, looked up at Xiang Qingxi, Xiang Qingxi shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, pouted, and did not speak.
"Benefactor, I'll show you something, see if you remember. After that, the old man trembled and took off a red rope from his neck, and at the bottom of the rope was tied an emerald green leaf, to be precise, it was a green leaf that had not dried up, but was still fresh, "I don't know if the benefactor still remembers this leaf?" The old man looked at Xiang Qingxi a little nervously.
"Hmm, Hailing Leaves, old man, where did you get this thing?" Xiang Qingxi took the leaves, activated the Eye of All Things to check, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
In fact, Xiang Qingxi's heart was already turbulent, "A leaf is also a saint-level thing, where is this sea spirit tree?"
"Haha, ahem...... Cough...... I'll just say, you are really my benefactor, and you are the only one in the world who can know this thing, benefactor, are you okay?" The old man excitedly grabbed Xiang Qingxi's hand and stood up and knelt down.
"Alas......" Xiang Qingxi hurriedly helped the old man up again and said, "Old man, don't kneel anymore, even if I am your benefactor, I don't need you to kneel to me, okay? You are so old, I really can't afford it." Stop kneeling, can you tell me about the origin of this leaf? And I really don't remember what you said. ”
"Benefactor is the name of the worker?" asked the old man, sitting down again.
The old man's words caused a huge shock in Xiang Qingxi's heart, and he thought, "The surname is the name of the worker, the name of the worker, the name of the worker, the old man, is it the Tianzun of the worker?"
"No, my name is Xiang Qingxi. He replied.
"No, then how did you know this Sea Spirit Leaf?" the old man frowned, looked at Xiang Qingxi and continued to ask with some doubts.
"I don't know how I know this, I just know it but I don't know where it came from, just like I know chopsticks but I don't know where it came from. This statement had been in his mind when he had used up the Eye of All and decided to say the leaves of the Sea Spirit Tree.
The old man didn't say anything after listening, and after taking a deep look at Xiang Qingxi, he lowered his head and sat there blankly, as if he was recalling something, and everyone looked at the old man quietly without bothering. After a while, the old man slowly raised his head, as if he was explaining the future, "My days ...... It shouldn't be much, cough ...... Cough...... I can't wait any longer for him to come to me, Xiang Gongzi, can I ask you for something?"
"Okay, you say. Xiang Qingxi sat up straight, looked at the old man who was almost in his twilight years, and said solemnly.
"Ahem...... Cough...... You come with me," the old man stood up and pulled Xiang Qingxi slowly towards the bedroom, and said casually, "You stay here." ”
After the old man entered the bedroom, he ordered someone to close the door, leaving only Xiang Qingxi, and then walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine, tried to straighten his waist, stretched out his hand and twisted the ever-bright lights on both sides, only to see the stone slabs on the ground creaking upward, and then separating to the left and right, revealing an entrance with steps.
The old man motioned to Xiang Qingxi to help him down, and the two walked down the steps step by step, at the end of which was a small room, which was empty with only a square marble table, and on top of the stone platform was a red box and a luminous bead, probably because it had not moved for a long time, it had already been covered with dust, and the old man wiped off the dust on the box with his sleeve, and then gently opened the lid of the box, revealing the brocade silk inside, which was wrapped in a small piece of wood.
"If anyone recognizes this Sea Spirit Leaf again and tells him where he came from, please pass this on to him, ahem...... This is my benefactor let me keep it, he said that the leaves of the sea spirit tree will not wither for ten thousand years, can make me healthy, all diseases will not invade, but this piece of wood said let me collect it well, said that after sixty years, there will be a person who knows the leaves of the sea spirit tree to take it away, counting, this year is almost a full sixty years, I don't know if the person he said is you, but please help me collect it, because my time is short, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the person the benefactor said. The old man trembled with both hands and wrapped the brocade silk and handed it to Xiang Qingxi.
"I've always worn this leaf close to me, and I've never left me, and I haven't had any illness in the past sixty years, cough...... Cough...... , Only this year, the health has been bad, I want to keep it useless, now I give it to you, as a reward for my granddaughter's life-saving grace, please don't shirk. The old man said solemnly.
"Old man, I don't need this, you can keep it. Xiang Qingxi hurriedly refused.
"Don't you even give an old man a chance to express his gratitude?" said the old man unhappily.
"Old man, I think you need this thing the most, and besides, your illness will soon be cured, believe me. Xiang Qingxi said with a smile.
