Chapter 15: The Nightfire Tribe (I)
"Knock, knock, knock......"
Ji Chengche woke up to a slow and rhythmic drum beat, and found himself lying in a large palace.
The entire palace is carved with ice and jade, and the momentum is magnificent, which shows that he is still somewhere in the Northern Wilderness Ice Field.
Beneath him was a large jade bed, which exuded a cold aura that soaked into his body through the soft and comfortable velvet cushions.
A night pearl the size of a goose egg hangs high on the caisson at the top of the temple, and the hazy and slightly lilac light shines down, and the surrounding area is quiet and silent.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The sound of the drum sounded slowly and lowly, as if it came from within him.
Ji Cheng listened intently for a while, and finally determined that this was his heartbeat.
He was surprised to realize that there seemed to be an endless sea of ice in his chest, and with this heartbeat, the waves were surging and surging, and the long rivers were rushing along the meridians in his body, and the cycle was repeated, covering every corner of his body.
But the rivers and ice seas are completely out of their control, but flow naturally according to their own rhythm and routes, forming a wonderful inner world.
His heartbeat was so strong and powerful, every rhythm was like a volcanic eruption, releasing a powerful force that drove the sea and rivers to rush.
His senses of sight, hearing, and even all his senses were countless times more sensitive than before he woke up, and he could even clearly hear the sound of a breeze blowing the bed.
Ji Chengche couldn't help but reach out to his chest, and his fingertips gently stroked a scar that had just peeled off.
When he sat up, he saw that he was dressed in a white and silky underwear, a new set of clothes neatly arranged next to the pillow, and the leather bag containing the anti-heaven wheel and the inseparable silver dagger were also quietly placed aside.
Ji Chengche picked up the clothes and wanted to put them on his body, but with a little force, he heard a crisp sound of "snort", and one sleeve shattered into powder.
Ji Chengche was stunned, how could his strength become so strong?
He couldn't help but look at his hands carefully, only to find that there was a strange layer of strange light bubbling on his skin, but otherwise everything was normal.
Ji Chengche simply stopped dressing, and propped up the bed with both hands to prepare to go to the ground.
"Hmm-" With just a slight force, Ji Cheng's clear body flew up obliquely like a cloud, jumped up more than a foot high and crashed into the bed next to him, hurriedly grabbed it with his hands, failed to stabilize his body, but "snorted-la-" tore a large piece of bed curtain into wisps and shattered it in his hand, and his body fell back on the bed in embarrassment.
"This is the power of the Holy Dragon's Heart. It's a pity that you don't know how to use it yet, and the power you can show is not as good as just in case. ”
Emperor Xuanyuan's slender and white fingertips like mutton fat jade gently picked up the bed and appeared in front of Ji Chengqing.
"Grandma!" Ji Cheng called, a clear and warm smile on his face.
Emperor Xuanyuan didn't speak, his jade fingers coldly clasped Ji Chengqing's left wrist vein and groaned, and said slowly: "The degree of fusion between your body and the heart of the Holy Dragon is far beyond my expectations, the rejection reaction that could have been fatal is so slight that it is almost negligible, and the fusion of bloodlines in just three days has been nearly thirty percent, and it may not take a year to reach more than fifty percent." ”
Ji Chengche tilted his head and asked obediently, "This means that grandma, you have succeeded?"
"Hmm...... You're all right. Emperor Xuanyuan let go of his hand and said, "Go bathe and change your clothes first, eat something, and then you can return to the Nightfire Tribe." ”
"So fast?"
"I promised Mr. Big that I would return you in three days, and now that the deadline has expired, it is natural for you to leave. ”
Ji Chengche crawled with his hands and got out of bed cautiously, stretching out his arms as if he wanted to hug his grandmother but didn't dare.
She stood there, wearing a gorgeous and beautiful and cold silver sky fox mask on her face, hiding her true appearance in front of the eyes of the world, not angry and arrogant, full of the dignity of the king, which made people tremble and admire from the bottom of their hearts. And among them, even their own relatives.
"Grandma, why are you in the Northern Wilderness, are you here to save me?"
Emperor Xuanyuan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Yu Tian intends to accept you as an apprentice, if you go, if he dares to embarrass you, I will settle accounts with him." When you go back, you must sincerely seek advice and practice diligently, and you must not be lazy. ”
The way she speaks is always cold, but Ji Cheng clearly feels a burst of warmth in her heart.
"Grandma, will we meet again?"
Emperor Xuanyuan frowned, as if he was not used to answering such a warm question. In the Demon Clan, she is the supreme ruler, and she is also one of the ten saints in the world when she is placed in the Metaverse. For her, relatives can be had, but they are not necessary, and feelings are bondage, and letting go is more free.
"Yes. ”
"When?" asked Ji Chengche excitedly.
Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Don't ask any more questions, go take a bath!"
Ji Chengche was stunned, looked at Emperor Xuanyuan's face and pouted, "Grandma, I don't know how to go to the water room." ”
Emperor Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his jade palm struck lightly twice, and a hunched and aged Tsing Yi servant appeared outside the door.
"Dragon Boat Festival, take the little hall down to bathe and change clothes. ”
The old servant responded respectfully, and saluted Ji Chengche: "Your Highness, please come with me." ”
Ji Chengqing obviously couldn't adapt to the physical condition after the heart change, and when he landed on the first step, his body jumped up more than three feet uncontrollably, and he lost his balance in the air.
"Your Highness, be careful, let's go with the old slave. The Dragon Boat Festival seemed to be standing in place and did not move, but his hand grabbed Ji Chengche and walked out.
Emperor Xuanyuan watched Ji Chengche and the Dragon Boat Festival walk away coldly, his eyes brushed over the leather bag and the silver short sword beside the pillow, and said to himself in an inaudible voice: "Against the Heavenly Wheel, Longyang Sword...... Could it be that Cheng Cheng is really a person in 'three words and two beats'?"
Ji Chengche didn't hear what Emperor Xuanyuan said, he took the Dragon Boat Festival hand to the water room, was served comfortably took a hot bath, changed into a set of soft and fitting new clothes, and suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.
After bathing, the Dragon Boat Festival took Ji Chengqing to dine.
I hadn't eaten for a few days, and Ji Chengche obviously felt empty in her stomach, but she couldn't arouse interest in the fragrant food on the table.
Seeing him knocking on the table with his hand, he frowned and had no appetite, and said with a slight smile: "Your Royal Highness, the Holy Dragon's Heart in your body eats and drinks all day long, and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth to nourish it, even if you don't eat or drink for three or five months, it's a common thing." ”
Ji Chengche suddenly realized, and said with a more and more sad face: "But in the future, if I face so many delicious things, but I don't have a little appetite, it's too abnormal, I'll eat some more, right?!"
Although a lack of appetite is the same as a lack of appetite, a lack of appetite does not mean that there is no appetite. When Ji Chengche finally decided to eat appetizers, he was surprised to discover another magical power of the Holy Dragon Heart, that is, the outrageous absorption and refining ability of his body now, no matter how he ate it, he didn't feel like it was holding up.
When the table full of plates was swept away, Ji Chengche held his bulging belly and walked out cautiously, asking as he walked, "Grandpa Dragon Boat Festival, are you alone here?"
The Dragon Boat Festival tried several times to get Ji Chengche to remove the word "grandpa" when addressing himself, but he never succeeded, and Wen Yan replied: "This Northern Heavenly Palace has a total of one hundred and thirty-six servants, and there are also some peripheral guards. If His Highness is in need, the old slave can summon them to come and pay a visit. ”
Ji Chengche shook his head and said, "Don't bother, I'll just ask casually." By the way, thank you Uncle Chef here for me, especially the bowl of Biluo Su Moon Soup, which is really the best in the world. ”
The Dragon Boat Festival bowed and said: "Since this is the case, the old slave will reward him on behalf of His Royal Highness." ”
Ji Cheng said strangely: "You ...... for me Reward him, why?"
Dragon Boat nodded and replied: "Your Majesty issued a holy decree before leaving, and has given the Northern Heavenly Palace to His Royal Highness. The old slave is still the head of the palace, and he should do his best to plan and share his worries for His Royal Highness. ”
"Grandma is gone, but I haven't said goodbye to her yet!" Ji Chengche was taken aback, and his heart was refreshed.
After a long time, Ji Chengche thought that the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival seemed to say: When grandma left, she gave this Northern Tianxing Palace to herself, so now this is his......
But what do you want such a big palace for?
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I can't ask for it." There are so many people in the palace, I can't afford to raise them. ”
Dragon Boat smiled and said: "Your Majesty's decree that every application of the Northern Heavenly Palace will be paid by the inner treasury, and Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it." However, most of His Royal Highness will live in the Northern Wilderness for a while, if there is something inconvenient for him to come forward, and the old slave needs to do it for him, you just have to tell it. ”
He continued: "There is another thing to teach Your Highness that there is a four-story Pure Moon Pavilion in the palace, and each floor treasures the thousand-year-old supreme divine skill of my demon clan. However, your cultivation is still shallow, and you must wait until you are promoted to the realm of splitting mountains and opening mansions before you can enter the first layer of the pavilion. ”
Ji Chengche knew that the Dragon Boat Festival was polite, why his current cultivation was "still shallow", he just hadn't started at all, and there were still 108,000 miles away from "still shallow".
He went back to the house to tidy up a little, packed his bags, and prepared to meet Mr. Big and Ju Chongde.
Seeing that Ji Chengche had no intention of visiting and inspecting the Northern Tianxing Palace, the Dragon Boat Festival was not reluctant, but simply introduced the general situation of the palace to him.
Everything stopped, and Ji Chengche followed the Dragon Boat Festival to the teleportation circle of the Northern Heavenly Palace.
Dragon Boat Festival said: "Your Royal Highness, the demon night is waiting for you at the other end of the teleportation circle. He will escort you to the Nightfire Tribe, but you need to keep your mouth shut about the Northern Heavenly Palace. ”
At the moment, Ji Chengche stepped into the teleportation array, and the surrounding magic patterns were swirling with brilliance, and the stars in front of him were in a trance, and they were already thousands of miles away.
Demon Night was really guarding the other end of the teleportation circle, and when he saw Ji Chengqing coming back, he let out a sharp whistle from his mouth, summoned two snow horses with a divine body, and said, "Little boy, I will send you to see Ju Chongde." ”
Ji Chengche was engrossed in controlling the majestic and surging power of the holy dragon in his body, and sat on the snow horse and walked all the way south under the escort of the demon night.
A few hours later, the Changbai River Valley was in sight, and the demon night no longer moved forward, bowing down to Ji Chengche to say goodbye and leave.
Ji Chengche hit his horse forward, and saw that the valley mouth had been reopened up a passable path, and two snowman-like figures, one large and one small, stood at the crossing and waited, it was Ju Chongde and Lin Yin.
