"You're Lord Qinglong......? Can you prove it?" the old man glanced at the Nine-Tails and Tengu, still unwilling to believe that the young man in front of him was Qinglong.

"Is this okay?" Gu Xiaobai took out the dragon jade and put it in the old man's hand.

The moment he came into contact with Long Yu, the old man's last trace of doubt disappeared completely, and he suddenly burst into tears and leaned down in front of Gu Xiaobai.

"Lord Qinglong, it's been a long time, it's been a long time!"

Gu Xiaobai hurriedly helped him up, letting an old man of this age kneel in front of him, Gu Xiaobai suddenly felt that his Yangshou had been taken away by the king of Hades.

"Don't be like this, you keep kneeling in front of me like this, it's just tormenting me. ”

The old man stood up tremblingly, he was already in tears, tears running down his furrow-like cheeks, the old man was very excited, and his body trembled slightly.

"You...... What's it called?"

The old man hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face and said respectfully: "The old man's surname is Huang, and his single name is a Xuanzi, which is the palm shrine of Lord Xuanwu, and he is ordered to guard the heart of Lord Xuanwu here. ”

Huang Xuan...... Xuanwu's heart?" The three of them looked at the huge heart behind Huang Xuan with strange expressions.

"This ...... Is it Xuanwu's heart?" Gu Xiaobai couldn't help but say in surprise with his mouth wide open.

"Well, Lord Xuanwu was too seriously injured back then, and he has been recuperating, and in order to ensure that his Qing cultivation is not disturbed, I have been guarding here. ”

Gu Xiaobai squinted his eyes and calculated, "So Xuanwu is nearby, but why did he put his heart here alone?"

Huang Xuan said proudly: "Because, the entire island of Japan is the body of Lord Xuanwu!"

"Whole ...... The whole of Japan?" The three of them were completely stunned, covering their mouths every day and exclaiming, even the always steady Nine-Tails couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise.

"Yes, Lord Xuanwu is in a state of cultivation, so he hasn't moved for a long time, that's why there are humans here, my lord, he has always advocated harmonious coexistence, so I didn't do anything about it, presumably Lord Xuanwu doesn't want to punish these humans for this. ”

"But that's too ...... It's too big, isn't it?" the three of them still couldn't believe it.

Gu Xiaobai suddenly turned around and asked, "Haven't you seen Xuanwu, is he really that big?"

Nine-tails shook his head, "The Xuanwu adults we have seen are not so big, but they are larger than elephants, but the current volume is really a little ......" Nine-tails couldn't think of any words to describe, and after thinking for a long time, he finally held back a "unbelievable." ”

"You don't need to make a fuss, Lord Xuanwu, he was rooted in this vast ocean in his early years, and he hasn't moved for thousands of years, and it's normal for all kinds of substances to gather around his body, of course, his body is not as big as the island of Japan. Huang Xuan explained.

"Doesn't that mean that if Xuanwu recovers from his injuries, as long as he turns over, Japan will cease to exist?" Gu Xiaobai asked.

"Uh...... You're right. ”

For some reason, Gu Xiaobai was secretly refreshed in his heart for a while.

"Lord Qinglong has worked so hard to find the old man, there must be something, right?" Huang Xuan asked first.

"Oh yes, I said, is there a way to let my feet rest for a while, and it's not a way to jump like this all the time. Gu Xiaobai has always maintained the posture of jumping on alternate feet, because the ground is too hot, he looked down and saw that Huang Xuan was also barefoot, but he could stand there casually, and he was very envious in his heart.

Huang Xuan shook his head, "This old man has no choice but to find a way to adapt to the temperature here, and the old man has been jumping like this for more than a year before he can barely get his feet used to here." ”

Gu Xiaobai waved his hand, signaling that he understood, "Then it's better to dance and exercise." We came this time, in fact, we have something to ask for, and we want to know the whereabouts of Suzaku. ”

When Huang Xuan heard this name, his pupils suddenly dilated, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

"What's wrong? Great War...... Is it about to start again?"

Huang Xuan's eyes were clearly full of fear, the war of a thousand years ago had tormented him to the point that life was worse than death, and he didn't want to experience it again in his long life.

"Don't get excited, it's not to the point of a big war, the reason is actually ......"

“......”

"I see, I didn't expect the bad relationship between Qinglong and Suzaku to continue, and you in this life turned out to be husband and wife......"

"So, do you know where Suzaku is?"

"Of course, if you want to find Suzaku, you only need to find the sycamore tree. ”

"Sycamore?"

"Yes, Suzaku not only represents the fire of the world, but also the king of birds, and the sycamore wood is a spiritual wood with dual-purpose attributes, so it is Suzaku's favorite habitat. ”

The three of them looked at each other.

"But where is the sycamore?" asked Tian Tian.

Huang Xuan touched his white beard, frowned and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure ...... either"

"This ......" Gu Xiaobai almost blurted out, didn't this old man say a lot of nonsense?

"I've been here for thousands of years, and I haven't been out a few times, the most recent one was ten years ago, thousands of years, the world has changed dramatically, the plane wood I knew back then is now gone, so you can only find it yourself. ”

Gu Xiaobai sighed, asked and asked, but still didn't get the answer he wanted, the so-called sycamore wood has fallen to for thousands of years, how to find it?

Simply a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Gu Xiaobai took out a world map from the ring and put it in front of Huang Xuan.

"Can you draw the approximate location?"

Huang Xuan's brows tightened, and he looked at it for a long time, it seemed that it was the first time he had seen the world map, and it was not easy to understand the current pattern of the world.

"Let me think about it, it's been too long, I don't know if I can remember. After speaking, Huang Xuan took the map and walked back, and by the faint light, he thought about it carefully.

"Can he really remember? After all, it's been thousands of years...... "Tian Tian said as he looked at Huang Xuan's back.

"Anyway, he's our only hope, and if he can't remember, we'll probably not be able to find Sister Xiangyu back. ”

Gu Xiaobai also looked at Huang Xuan's back, "Can't you find Xiangyu?" His fists couldn't help clenching, he felt the depressed feeling of having no strength but nowhere to show it.

Huang Xuan's sitting down was gone, Gu Xiaobai could only retreat into the passage first, the temperature there was slightly lower, as long as he wore shoes, he would not burn the soles of his feet, he asked the Nine Tails to guard by Huang Xuan's side, and notify him as soon as there was news.

At this time, Gu Xiaobai was sitting on the ground of the passage, he had already begun to adapt to the temperature here, leaning on him every day, looking at the faint light at the end of the passage in the distance.

"My lord, what if the old man really can't remember?" Tian Tian suddenly asked.

Gu Xiaobai hadn't thought about this problem yet, and he didn't know how he should face it, maybe if it was long enough, Long Xiangyu would completely disappear from his life, after all, life still had to go on, but every time he thought of Long Xiangyu's smiling face, he had a heart-wrenching feeling, he knew that even if he could forget her, it must be possible after experiencing unprecedented pain.

"Tiantian, do you like Sister Xiangyu?"

Tian Tian nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I like it, Sister Xiangyu is beautiful and gentle, the key is to be very good to Tian Tian and Lord Qinglong." ”

"If you had to choose someone to be with me, who would you choose?"

Tian Tian looked at Gu Xiaobai suspiciously, "Why can't we be together, aren't we all together now?"

"But this world doesn't allow such things to happen, I can only be with one woman. ”

Tian Tian pouted and thought for a while, and said, "Although Sister Nine-Tails also loves adults, I think she will also want you and Sister Xiangyu to be together." ”

"Why?"

"Because ......" Tian Tian suddenly covered her mouth as she realized that she had almost leaked her secret.

"Woo, no, I can't say, in short, Sister Xiangyu should be your best choice!"

Gu Xiaobai smiled bitterly and touched Tiantian's head, for some reason, Wang Meike's face appeared in his mind.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of living cold!"

This sentence made Gu Xiaobai very concerned, what kind of past did this woman have, and what sad past did she experience?

"Lord Qinglong, he seems to have remembered!" The call of the Nine-Tails came from the other end of the passage, and the two immediately ran over excitedly.

Returning here again, Gu Xiaobai still maintained a jumping posture to avoid suffering the soles of his feet, and at this time, Huang Xuan was holding the map and constantly drawing, as if he was measuring the length with his fingers.

"Huang Lao, is there a result?"

Huang Xuan squinted his eyes, kept drawing on the map, and from time to time pointed to a specific place with his index finger.

"My lord, it's been too long, and the old man has done his best, so I can only give a general place, please understand. ”

Gu Xiaobai had long expected that it would be a blessing for him to have a general direction.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you know the general location, I have my own way. ”

Huang Xuan's index finger quickly counted on a place on the map, and the eyes of the three of them focused on it at the same time.

"The United States?"

The place Huang Xuan pointed to was the United States, and it seemed that he was pointing to the center of the map of the United States.

"Yes, it's this country, if it's more specific, I think the probability of the west side will be greater, but more specific is less likely, and the rest may have to use your own strength to find it. ”

Gu Xiaobai took a deep breath, "It's okay, this is already a big help, I'll do the rest by myself." ”

Huang Xuan's old face flushed, he knew that his positioning was still too vague, if he looked for it like this, I was afraid that it would take a lot of effort, he thought about it and added: "My suggestion is to focus on a place with a higher temperature, of course it is not a temperature like the space we are in, the Vermilion Bird is the origin of fire, and the temperature is quite scary." ”

Gu Xiaobai thought in his heart, it couldn't be under the earth's crust, right? He knew that it was time to trouble Long Eryuan and them, and only by using their strength could he shorten the time of searching as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself, and there's one more thing, it's about that Asama shrine outside......"

Speaking of Asama Shrine, Huang Xuan's eyes couldn't help but show a helpless look.

"That shrine has nothing to do with me at all, and it has nothing to do with Lord Xuanwu, but seeing that they have always worshiped the Lord, I haven't said anything, and occasionally I will say a few words to them when I go out, and they are guarding Mt. Fuji, which can be regarded as a favor for me, and I am still very grateful to them from the bottom of my heart. ”

"They asked me to bring you a message and wanted you to go out and meet them. ”

Huang Xuan waved his hand and said: "No, you still have to guard the heart of Lord Xuanwu, this is my most important mission, please tell them, I understand their kindness, as for when to go, it depends on fate." ”

Gu Xiaobai nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't want to see it." I can't force you, then, let's go first. ”

The three of them leaned over to thank Huang Xuan, and when they were about to turn around and leave, the surrounding walls suddenly began to shake, shaking for a while, as if a terrible earthquake had occurred.

The eyes of the four of them focused on the heart in front of them at the same time, and they were surprised to find that the beating rate of this heart began to accelerate at some point, and the temperature around it dropped suddenly, and Gu Xiaobai could finally touch the ground directly with his feet.

"Again, time is getting shorter and shorter, great!" Huang Xuan shouted excitedly.
