In the courtyard study shaded by green bamboo, the paper-cut flowers on the window will cut the sunlight shining in into fine pieces, the rosewood table worth a thousand gold is complete with pen and inkstone, and the incense is curled in a half-person-high Tibetan bronze tripod next to it, blending with the ink fragrance, refreshing and refreshing.

The black-and-white pottery chain on the table was lying quietly, and the woman's expression changed behind the table.

The maid Qingzhu waited anxiously outside the courtyard.

"You, where did you get this black and white pottery, and you dare to deliberately hand it in front of my eyes?"

Ying Zhaojun's tone was full of murderous intent, and he was indescribably cold. These two pieces of black and white pottery Xun are birthday gifts made by her own hands to the seventh sister, which means to bless the slightly dull seventh sister to quickly find a wishful husband. These two Tao Xun Seventh Sisters never left their bodies, and they were buried together after death, how could they appear in the hands of this person now?

"It's a long story. Chang Xi could understand Ying Zhaojun's complicated mood at the moment, raised his hand to lay down a ban on isolating the courtyard, and slowly told the story of his acquaintance with Ying Zhiyu in the Huangquan realm.

As Chang Xi's last word fell, he took out a half-damaged array disk and handed it to Ying Zhaojun, who had fallen into a state of distraction, nostalgia and remembrance appeared on his face, and he said softly: "This is the array disk that Ying Zhiyu handed over to me back then to seal two crossing techniques, I used one when I crossed the edge of the two realms, and now there is still a crossing technique left in the array disk." I thought it was time for it to be returned to its rightful owner. ”

Ying Zhaojun only stared blankly at the broken array plate and the black and white pottery Xun, the two lines of tears flowed silently, she didn't raise her hand to wipe it, and let the tears wet her cheeks and clothes.

Then she tilted her head and bit her lip, remembering the last words that Seventh Sister had said before leaving.

In the future, you will only be left with Zhaojun, you must learn to be strong.

"So, are you from Kyushu?" After a long time, Ying Zhaojun calmed down, and then looked at Chang Xi and Yunmo's eyes were no longer full of murderous intent, but they were filled with unspeakable exhaustion and tiredness, which made people feel heartache and pity at a glance.

Chang Xi nodded, and didn't say anything else, the topic they talked about today was really heavy. Although the woman sitting across from them was the eighth princess of the Win clan, she also suffered the pain of losing her loved ones. Now that he handed over these two pieces of Tao Xun and the array plate to her, it was tantamount to revealing her past scars again, and the bloody pain was not something that every woman could endure.

Yunmo is much more pragmatic than Chang Xi, and has been cautiously guarding against this princess of the Ying clan, although this eighth princess was exiled to Quarry County by the Demon Emperor's mercy, but he may still be cut off from the royal family of the Ying clan, and maybe those maids outside have been placed as pawns to monitor this princess. They are now deep in the hinterland of the Demon Domain, and there will be no support, and the two of them can only sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship with caution.

Ying Zhaojun pushed back the remaining array plate with the supernatural power of Yue Xing and the black and white Tao Xun to Chang Xi, "Since it is something that my sister gave you, then you can take it away and don't let her down." Ying Zhaojun put his hand against his eyebrows and sent out an eviction order, "I'm tired today, I don't want to talk about other things, I'll talk about it another day." ”

Chang Xi and Yunmo glanced at each other, got up neatly, waved their hands to disperse the soundproofing prohibition outside, and Qingzhu, the anxious maid outside the courtyard, hurriedly rushed in, seeing that the princess's face was haggard and gloomy, and her eyes were like knives on the two of them.

"Qingzhu, arrange for the two of them to live in Youlanzhuang, you don't have to live in the florist's room, and then you can also step down, today I want to be alone and quiet. Ying Zhaojun glanced at Qingzhu and finished ordering, and then buried his head in the crook of his arm and lay motionless.

Qingzhu, who rarely saw the princess like this, didn't dare to bother anymore, and pushed and kicked Chang Xi and the two out of the study, and then carefully brought the door.

After everyone left, the shoulders of this woman who was exiled to the frontier by the Ying clan trembled slightly, and her uncontrollable tears wet her sleeves, and she was strong enough in the eyes of outsiders to still be unable to contain her longing for her sister. Crying may be the best catharsis.

Qingzhu didn't know what these two "gardeners" said to the princess, but they made the princess so haggard and tired, so she simply didn't bother to give a good face, and snorted coldly: "Our guards and servants in Youlanzhuang are all women, since you two are men, you can't live with us! ”

"And remember to me, this sea of orchids is the princess's treasure, you take care of it, naturally you will benefit from it. But if you don't take good care of it, let the orchid decay and wither, you just wait for the elders of the family to come and collect your body!"

Qingzhu dropped the cruel words, turned around, and left only the two of them with a graceful back of leaving.

Yunmo was a little puzzled and said, "Did we recruit her to provoke her?"

Chang Xi spread his hands, in the end, a woman's mind is unpredictable.

Since there was no accommodation, the brothers had to do it themselves. The two secretly cut a few treasured green bamboos that grew gratifyingly, and the second senior brother's method of cutting bamboo was very neat, but when he really had no experience in wild life, he built a bamboo house, and he seemed clumsy, so Chang Xi had to take a shot, and the two bamboo houses were completed.

When they arrived at the Realm of Refining Void, the monks had already cleared the valley, and it didn't matter if they slept in the open. But Chang Xi didn't want to let the Five Organs Temple be idle, so he carried a fishing rod made of green bamboo and fished next to the Listening Tide Pavilion. As for why he didn't go to the Tingchao Pavilion and sit comfortably and wait for the fish to take the bait, it was because Chang Xi observed those servants and maids, except for the particularly favored Qingzhu, no one else had ever entered the Tingchao Pavilion, and he wanted to come to it to be a place where Ying Zhaojun was alone, so he wouldn't touch that moldy head.

The second senior brother stood beside Chang Xi with a lack of interest, looked at the lake water that reflected the color of the sky without shock, frowned and said, "Isn't it too slow to fish like this, why don't we use some water system spells to blow him up, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"

Chang Xi looked up at the second senior brother angrily, can it be a little more vulgar?

The experience when he set foot on the road to seeking immortals alone is still there, Chang Xi is naturally immortal, and he caught a few fat black fish in a single meal. The second senior brother only saw the little junior brother skillfully remove the scales, remove the gills and cut the belly and wash it, and then took out a big black pot and a dazzling dozen things from the storage bag that he had never seen before.

Yun Mo was surprised to pick up the stem of a verdant bamboo, the top was like a green leaf, the middle was like a white jade, and the smell was spicy, he shook the things in his hand and asked Chang Xi, "Little junior brother, what kind of rare spirit plant are you, how come I have never seen it before?"

"Second Senior Brother... That's not a spirit plant, that's a green onion..."

Yunmo continued to pick up a piece of something on the ground that tasted more spicy than green onions, shaped like antelope horns, and asked without giving up, "This thing has a strange appearance, it should always be a spirit plant, right?"

"Second Senior Brother... That's not a spirit plant, that's ginger..."

"Then this thing that looks like a fairy bird's egg cracked into eight petals... It's supposed to be, right?"

"I'm sorry, second senior brother, that's not it, it's called garlic. ”

Yunmo sat slumped on the ground, although he still didn't understand what onions, ginger and garlic were, but he knew that he was really embarrassed this time.

The bonfire was lit, Chang Xi skillfully chopped the green onion and ginger and garlic pot with sword qi, and suddenly the thick aroma wafted out, and a few slightly pickled black fish rolled into the big black pot with the clear lake water, and the second senior brother sat on the wooden pier while controlling the temperature of the bonfire, while watching the little junior brother fly with his fingertips as if arranging a formation, throwing the same novel things he had never seen into the soup, and the fresh fragrance of the thick white soup was straight to his second senior brother, who was famous in the mountains behind the green clouds.

Chang Xi covered the pot and waited for the boiling soup to taste the fish, and said with a smile: "Second senior brother, you don't know that these things are normal, these things called condiments of mine are essential in the world." Qingyun Mountain is an immortal sect, and it is one of the top five sects, so naturally it will not use these worldly things. ”

The second senior brother nodded and shook his head suddenly, staring intently at the gurgling big black cauldron, and said with a smile: "Just with the taste of your pot of boiled fish, it is even more tempting than those top-level medicinal foods on Danshen Peak." ”

The lid of the pot was lifted, and the fresh fragrance of the fish soup boiled into a thick thick float in the air, and the two brothers squatted beside the pot and held bamboo chopsticks to feast.

Compared to the colorful food in Kyushu, the plain diet in the Demon Domain is a little untouchable, not to mention that these fat black fish are cooked by Chang Xi himself, even if he accidentally eats his tongue, it is not surprising.

Chang Xi waved to the hesitant young maids, and generously let them also try their own craftsmanship, and immediately two or three twisted and pinched over, Chang Xi used the bamboo tube section to make a bowl, each of them gave a full bowl, the fresh and fragrant fish soup entered the throat and stomach, several maids were immediately completely conquered by the delicious taste of the tongue blooming, and their eyes were bright and they couldn't wait to finish drinking the fish soup in the bamboo tube.

There was a lot of fun around the bonfire, and Qingzhu looked at the two not far away, smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the shade again.

After that, for three days, the door of the courtyard study was not opened, and only Qingzhu occasionally went in to deliver some food that the princess loved. Chang Xi and Yunmo are not too idle, after all, their identities are gardeners. Chang Xi manipulated a small array to rain on the orchids every day, and out of his understanding of the sword qi, Chang Xi simply manipulated the sword qi to swim in the sea of flowers, cutting off pests and weeds without harming the rhizomes of the flowers and leaves. As for the flower fertilizer, he doesn't have to worry about it, there will always be some devils who don't know the depth to make trouble, and finally they are caught by a group of maids who are not shallow in cultivation and make flower fertilizer to nourish the earth.

In addition, Chang Xi and the second senior brother both live a relaxed and comfortable life, nothing to do, Bu Buyun watering, fishing a few black fish to boil the pot at meal time, and then going to the green bamboo forest to dig a few young bamboo shoots that have just been drilled out after the rain to match, the life of the gods is nothing more than that.

Until the early morning of the fourth day, Qingzhu came to the bamboo house and asked them to meet the princess.

Coming to the original study, Ying Zhaojun, who had obviously cried more than once in the past few days, had slightly red eyes, and the two who were just florists sat down directly, but Qingzhu didn't have any strange expression on his face, but walked over and closed the door of the study.

Ying Zhaojun explained to the two brothers: "Qingzhu is my personal maid, and she can be trusted. In fact, all the maids and servants in this Youlan Village are sisters who grew up together when I was young. They can all be completely trusted, but because this matter is far-reaching, and it is inevitable that there will be many people, so it is good that only the four of us know about it. ”

Since it came to this, Chang Xi naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Ying Zhaojun looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You two are millions of miles away from Kyushu and go deep into the Demon Domain, if you only have the cultivation of the God Realm, I won't believe it if you die." ”

"The princess is as wise as a torch. Chang Xi smiled slightly, and together with the second senior brother, he lifted the qi restraint on his body, and suddenly the coercion belonging to the Refining Void Realm was stirred.

Qingzhu's breathing stagnated for a moment, and his face was shocked, is it really refining the virtual realm?

Ying Zhaojun nodded imperceptibly, these two people were unsurprisingly cultivators of the Void Realm. After all, from the border pass of the northern region of Kyushu to the quarry county in the northwest of this demon domain, it is a million miles at every turn, and along the way, not only have to avoid the blockade of the vanguard guard army, but also have to fight wits and courage with many secret spies.

The reason why it is impossible to be the power of the iQue Realm is too simple, but in order to reach the iQue Realm, all those who cultivate are the masters of the top forces on one side, just like the Demon Domain, the sect leader of the Demon Sect of the Deer Mountain, Yi Duzi, and the Batuo Army God who sits in the rear of the demon army. It seems that their top-level existence is a strategic force of deterrence, and it is easy not to move.

As for why the two of them were obviously from the Qingyun Mountain of the Upper Five Sects of the Righteous Dao Famous Sect in Kyushu, but they were able to manipulate the demonic qi with ease, she was very smart and didn't ask.

What she should know and what she shouldn't know, she knows in her heart.

Ying Zhaojun leaned forward slightly, crossed his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Since my sister was entrusted to you on her deathbed, I guess Chang Gongzi had some thoughts in his heart when he came, right?"

Chang Xi nodded, "Don't hide it from the princess, when my senior brother and I first entered Quarry County, we were robbed and dragged up the mountain by many demons of Zhulu Mountain, and we accidentally learned from a protector of Zhulu Mountain that the Ying clan was secretly monitoring you. ”

"The secret surveillance of the Ying clan's royal family, me?" Ying Zhaojun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "A down-and-out person like me who was kicked out of his home and exiled to the northwest, what value is there worthy of being monitored?"

Yunmo looked directly at Ying Zhaojun's eyes, and said in a straight voice: "The battle for succession." ”

Ying Zhaojun was stunned again, and soon the shrewd eighth princess reacted and sneered: "I see, I think it should be my three good brothers who are worried that I will be co-opted by one of them, so they let the Dragons Organization secretly spy on me." ”

Qingzhu, who was quietly hanging his head on the side, suddenly realized in his heart, and then he understood why the little devil who came to harass and provoke and did not measure himself has increased recently, it turns out that those guys are cannon fodder sent by the Monster Organization to spy on the news!

But Ying Zhaojun quickly frowned, looked at Chang Xi and Yunmo, and asked suspiciously: "But what do these have to do with me, a down-and-out princess?

Chang Xi's eyes were scorching, and the body sitting on the chair also subconsciously leaned forward, looking directly at Ying Zhaojun's eyes that were seven points similar to Ying Zhiyu, and said word by word.

"Because according to my plan and that of my senior brother, I need you to participate in the princess!"
