Chapter 24 Returning Home
"Suzaku, you're awake!" Gu Peng had just put the salt away, and when he looked up, he saw the Suzaku with a complicated expression in the corner, so he took a large bowl of broth and handed it to Suzaku, "Taste it, it should taste good." ”
Suzaku was distracted, startled by Gu Peng's voice, and when he saw that it was the master, he quickly took the bowl with his wings, and he was indeed standing aside in fear, but he was not in a hurry to eat.
"Suzaku, you did a good job this time, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do!" Gu Peng patted Suzaku on the shoulder and said sincerely, at that time, Gu Yue's situation was in crisis, even if he wanted to ask Xiao Kun to make a move, I was afraid that it would be too late in time, but fortunately, Suzaku burst out in time and saved Sister Gu Yue at the last moment.
"This unicorn fruit is yours. Gu Peng flipped his palm, took out a jade box, opened the lid, and there was a red spirit fruit lying quietly inside, and a burst of rich fruity fragrance came to his face.
Seeing Gu Peng take out the Qilin Fruit, Suzaku's eyes straightened, his heart pounded wildly, his breathing became short, and his voice became trembling: "Master, do you really want to reward me with such a valuable spirit fruit?"
After all, Suzaku is from a big family, so he naturally knows the value of the unicorn fruit, and in the past, only when the patriarch was on his birthday, he once received a unicorn fruit from the unicorn clan, and the patriarch who received the gift was so excited that he almost didn't jump out of the chair.
Suzaku is only in the early stage of the royal rank, with the unicorn fruit, it will soon be able to enter the middle of the royal rank, and the unicorn fruit is also a healing elixir, as long as the Suzaku swallows the unicorn fruit, it will not be long before it will grow bright and bright feathers again, these are almost no less than a rebirth for the current Suzaku, how can it not be excited!
"Of course, do you want it? Then I'm going to take it back!" Gu Peng said jokingly.
"I want it!" Suzaku was afraid that Gu Peng would regret it, so he swallowed the unicorn fruit in the box with one mouth, if it wasn't for the fear of biting Gu Peng, it would probably swallow the box together.
Suzaku swallowed the spirit fruit, and hurriedly lay on the ground to refine the spiritual power in it, and at the same time felt more grateful to Gu Peng in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that he must be more loyal to his master in the future, solve problems for his master, and repay his master's kindness to it.
"Dapeng, I also want to eat unicorn fruit!" Xiao Kun appeared beside Gu Peng at some point, looking at Suzaku with envy.
As soon as Gu Peng turned around, he found that Xiao Kun's mouth was full of oil, dozens of cauldrons had been empty in the blink of an eye, and even the broth had been drunk by Xiao Kun, so he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and couldn't help but reward Xiao Kun with a big chestnut, and said, "You big gluttonous cat, didn't you give you two unicorn fruits just now?"
Gu Peng had just ordered the returning Qi Lao to pick the remaining two Qilin Fruits, the Qilin Ancient Tree seemed to recognize Qi Lao, neither said anything, nor did he stop it, now the two spirit fruits were carefully stored in the space ring by Gu Peng, just sent out a Qilin Fruit, and now there are only two left in his hand.
Originally, Gu Peng planned to give Sister Gu Yue a unicorn fruit, but she resolutely refused, according to her words, one was enough to support her cultivation for a long time.
Gu Peng was not a greedy person, he felt that good things should be shared with friends, but Xiao Kun's stomach was a bottomless pit at all, and he also had to think about his future cultivation, so he was very hesitant to give Xiao Kun Qilin Fruit again.
"Dapeng, the Qilin Fruit is useful for the recovery of my divine power, and it is still a little close, I will be able to recover to the Emperor-level Divine Beast, as long as one is good. Xiao Kun also saw Gu Peng's hesitation, and felt a little aggrieved, so he had to explain.
After Gu Peng heard this, he was both happy and ashamed, happy that Xiao Kun's strength began to recover, and ashamed that he misunderstood Xiao Kun, and thought that he was greedy again!
Gu Peng flipped his palm, took out a delicate jade box, took out the unicorn fruit in it, and gently stuffed it into Xiao Kun's mouth, and then gently touched its head, Xiao Kun seemed to enjoy Gu Peng's touch, and buried its head in Gu Peng's arms.
At this time, Qi Lao stared at the Qilin Ancient Tree with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Old friend, you have been with the old man here for so many years, I didn't expect you to have already given birth to Lingzhi, but why didn't you tell the old man?"
The Qilin Ancient Tree shook its branches, making a rattling sound, and then the old man's voice suddenly sounded: "As a tree spirit, the old tree likes a quiet and peaceful life the most, and does not like to talk or disturb, everything just follows its natural nature. ”
Qi Lao understands that what the Qilin Ancient Tree is talking about is the truth, and the elves born from flowers and trees are almost all of them of this temperament, and they even hope that they will not be disturbed by anyone, and they will stay in the same place quietly for the rest of their lives, and spend their lives without waves, this is their greatest wish.
Qi Lao sighed lightly and said, "The Qilin clan has always worshiped the Qilin Tree as a sacred tree, I wonder if you would like to move to Qilin Mountain with the old man in the future?"
The branches and leaves of the Qilin Ancient Tree trembled, and the old man's voice sounded again: "There is no need to be like this, the old man thinks that this place is very good, at least it is quiet enough, and now that the Qilin Fruit is gone, it will not be disturbed by people for at least a thousand years, and the old tree can have a good rest." ”
Qi Lao didn't force it anymore, sighed, and turned into a red light and flew into the Qilin knife in Gu Peng's space ring.
Gu Peng stewed another pot of Jiaolong meat, and after sharing Gu Yue's bowl of broth, the rest all went into his stomach, after all, he was kidnapped without eating at night, and he was already hungry all night, not to mention that this Jiaolong meat melts in the mouth, full of fragrance, it is really the best delicacy in the world, Gu Peng ate with a mouth full of oil, took the handkerchief handed by his sister and wiped his mouth, Gu Peng began to search for the remaining treasures in the Qilin Cave.
Gu Peng first returned to the middle cave to dig up all the spirit stones inside and put them into the space ring, and then took away the teleportation spirit mirror, this kind of running artifact may come in handy at some point, Gu Peng carefully searched the three holes more than a dozen times, and even the copper coins that fell in the stone cracks did not let go, since raising the divine beast Xiao Kun, Gu Peng has tried his best to make money, but it is not enough to spend, and now he is in the place of hidden treasure, how can he miss the opportunity to search, Gu Peng even untied the money bags of the dead guards of the Qin family and the Zhou family, of course, Zhou Li and Qin Wolf's wallets were also taken away by him, anyway, they are not good people, Gu Peng didn't have any psychological burden with their money.
If it weren't for Sister Gu Yue still being present, Gu Peng would have wanted to pull off the clothes on Zhou Li and Qin Wolf, after all, they were wearing top-grade silk, and they could exchange a lot of money for a pawnshop!
When Gu Peng's eyes swept over the Qilin Ancient Tree, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked towards the Qilin Ancient Tree.
"Don't come here, the old tree is not interested in you!" The Qilin Ancient Tree noticed that Gu Peng's eyes were glowing green, and he suddenly felt cold, and the old man's voice suddenly sounded again.
After a while, the Qilin Ancient Tree wanted to cry without tears, and all the golden leaves on its tree were taken away by Gu Peng, the reason was that because they looked too much like golden leaves, Gu Peng, who was searched for treasures and red eyes, was not left to pick them all, and at this moment the Qilin Ancient Tree suddenly became bare, only the blood-red branches swayed in the wind, and it looked extremely desolate.
When Gu Peng finally determined that there were no treasures in the Qilin Cave, he sat on Xiao Kun's back with Gu Yue and flew towards the ancient garden quickly.
As for the Vermilion Bird, it was a king-level divine beast after all, and it could fly on its own, and it landed in the courtyard of the ancient garden with Xiao Kun behind it.
At this time, the sky was just cloudy, so no one found Xiao Kun and Vermilion Bird, otherwise it would definitely cause a sensation, Xiao Kun and Gu Peng said hello, and turned into a golden light and flew into Qingshui Lake, while Suzaku lay in the courtyard and continued to refine the spiritual power of the Qilin Fruit, Gu Peng and Gu Yue both went back to their respective rooms to rest.
"Bang!" "Bang!" There were two muffled sounds, and the Qilin Ancient Tree threw Zhou Li and Qin Wolf, who still had a trace of breath, out of the cave, and then the falling rocks of the entire cave gathered together and blocked the entrance of the cave, completely sealing the entrance of the Qilin Cave, and then the Qilin Ancient Tree completely fell into a deep sleep. Thousands of years later, when the unicorn fruit ripens again, perhaps there will be another dispute here.
"Whoosh!" An old man covered in blood and pale face staggered to Zhou Li and Qin Wolf's side, and flew in the direction of Qingshui Town with them to chat about "The Legend of Dapeng" with more like-minded people, WeChat attention to "excellent reading literature", talk about life, and find confidants~
