Xuanyan Palace;

Cheng Zhaozhao walked on the flat avenue, followed by two dolls with small arms and legs.

"You really don't need me to hug you?" Cheng Zhaozhao turned his head and asked the two dolls.

Rongqi shook his head: "No, my father said, a manly man, go your own way." ”

Zelin ran 'hu', didn't care to answer, and didn't stop to wait for him until he surpassed the molten qi.

The two dolls quickly ran past Cheng Zhaozhao.

"Auntie, what kind of place is this, so big, so quiet, there is no one. ”

"This is the Xuanyan Palace, this is the main avenue of the Xuanyan Palace, and the surrounding halls and floating halls are the places where the palace masters of the Xuanyan Palace have lived in the past. Cheng Zhaozhao glanced at the surrounding halls shrouded in shadows.

This place has always been so quiet, and it is rare for so many people to visit it.

"Also, you should call me senior. ”

"No, I have many seniors, and my aunt only has one. Rongqi shook his head: "Or does Auntie not like us to call you Auntie?"

"Your Uncle Junsu's Taoist companion is Auntie, you can call me Aunt Zhao in the future. ”

"But Grandpa Zeng said it was an aunt, and it was an aunt. Is Great-Grandpa lying to us?" Rongqi turned his head and stared at her aggrievedly.

Zelin on the side pouted, as if he was about to cry at any time.

Cheng Zhaozhao has no experience in dealing with children, and when he saw their expressions, he waved his hand at the moment: "Okay, okay, whatever you call it." ”

Now they are still young, and when they grow up, many things will be understood.

The quiet Xuanyan Palace, echoing with the voices of the three of them, reached the door of Ji Junsu's main hall.

"This is where your uncle lives. ”

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Molten Qi kicked his calves, ran to the tall gate, and knocked: "Uncle open the door." Auntie is here. ”

The corners of Cheng Zhaozhao's mouth twitched slightly: "Why don't you say that you came by yourself." ”

"Uncle hasn't seen us again, what if we don't know each other?"

"I've never seen you, and I don't recognize you yet. ”

"It seems to make sense. Rongqi shouted again: "Uncle open the door, Rongqi is here." ”

"Zelin is also here. Not to be outdone, Zelin shouted.

There was a bustle outside the main hall, and the door of the main hall finally opened slowly.

Rongqi saw the person who came and immediately pounced on it, hugging Ji Junsu's calf: "Daddy." ”

"Stupid brother, it's uncle. Zelin was also stunned for a moment before reacting.

After all, Ji Junsu and Duan Fu look very similar.

Rongqi raised his head, looked at it for a long time, and then hugged it tighter: "Uncle, I'm Rongqi." This is my brother, Zelin. ”

Ji Junsu was held by the little doll, his body was a little stiff, and he looked at Cheng Zhaozhao a little helplessly.

Cheng Zhaozhao spread his hands: "It was Grandpa Ji who brought them here, and I can't help it." ”

"I mean, help me get him away. ”

When Rongqi heard this, he was anxious: "Uncle, you want to drive Rongqi away, you hate Rongqi......"

"Wow......"

Zelin saw that Rongqi was crying, and he also sat on the ground and sobbed.

After all, Ji Junsu was a teacher, he smiled helplessly at Cheng Zhaozhao, lowered his head and picked up the melting qi, stepped out of the door, and pointed to the halls opposite: "Do you want to know what is in those halls?"

Molten Qi blinked and looked over: "What's there?"

Cheng Zhaozhao picked up Zelin and followed behind them.

"There are treasures. ”

"Really?" Molten Qi's eyes widened, and even Zelin's eyes lit up.

"Yes, a lot, my uncle went on an expedition alone when he was a child, hunting for treasures. ”

"Then I'm going too. ”

"I'll go too. ”

"Okay, you two brothers go treasure hunting, whoever finds it first will be made for him in a while." Cheng Zhaozhao said and put Zelin down.

......

Sunset.

Cheng Zhaozhao and Ji Junsu sat on the high steps of the main hall, looking at the two dolls running around in the hall not far away, each holding two luminous stones in their hands.

"They're quite bold. ”

There is no sunlight in the main hall group, and the light at this time is even more dim: "If it was when I was a child, I would definitely not dare to go." ”

Cheng Zhaozhao still remembers that when she was so old, she was still wandering around with Cheng Zheng, and at that time she played hide and seek with some children, and she didn't dare to hide in the dark.

"Because they know we're here. ”

Indeed, as soon as the two dolls turn around, they can be seen. Because they are in the brightest place of the Xuanyan Palace.

"When you were a child, were you scared?" asked Cheng Zhaozhao.

Ji Jun looked back and nodded calmly: "I'm afraid." I'm afraid I'll get used to it, though. ”

"I heard Grandpa Ji talk about when you were a child, and he said that he only prepared the necessary food for you, and asked a turtle to bring it to you every day. Sometimes as soon as he prepares, he prepares for a year or two, there are not many varieties, I'm afraid you're tired of eating, right?" Cheng Zhaozhao looked at Ji Junsu deeply, feeling that his childhood was almost spent in the dark.

Ji Jun traced his gaze away and fell into memory: "Once, grandpa forgot to come back. I was hungry for days......"

Cheng Zhaozhao's heart tightened: "What happened later?"

“...... The turtle carried me to Daping Village. It was a child at the entrance of the village who gave me a steamed bun to eat. That's the best steamed bun I've ever tasted. ”

Cheng Zhaozhao looked at Ji Junsu's eyes: "Why have I never heard you mention it?"

Even Grandpa Ji never told this story.

"Grandpa blamed himself very much, and his head turned white overnight. Since then, he has not gone to the Pure Dust Temple again. When he saw that I liked Daping Village, he built a courtyard around the pine and cypress. The pines and cypresses became a cash cow, and they became our home. ”

"What about saving your child?"

"He became my first friend. ”

"Your friend, what's his name?"

"Ah Yue. His father was a teacher in the village, and he later became a teacher......"

In Ji Junsu's account, Ah Yue is the only person in the village who clearly knows that their identities are different.

Immortals are different, when Ah Yue returned to old age for a hundred years, Ji Junsu was still the same teenager.

Many years later, Ji Junsu became a teacher in the village.

It's just that Ji Junsu never made friends with the mortals in the village again.

Books became his best friend.

Cheng Zhaozhao couldn't imagine the helpless feeling of watching her friends grow old slowly, because her young friends, Shao Jie, Shao Feng, Liu Fatzi, and Qingmu...... They are still active everywhere, even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, there is always a time to meet.

No wonder, Grandpa Ji said that Ji Junsu is the loneliest.

"By the way, what about that turtle? How come I've never seen one?"

"The pear blossom tree at the entrance of the village. It was buried there. ”

"Huh?"

"The Xuan Tortoise is the guardian beast of the Xuan Yan Palace, and it cannot leave the Xuan Yan Palace. Ji Jun looked back at the pond not far away: "It exhausted all the spiritual power and took me to break through the prohibition of the Xuanyan Palace...... Ah Yue and I buried it at the entrance of the village with our own hands, and later, a pear tree grew there. ”
