Lin Rufei rarely felt that Gu Xuan would show such a fragile appearance. Although he didn't know what happened, Lin Rufei chose to trust him unconditionally. He stood silently on the spot, and Gu Xuandu put his weight on himself.
He Jitian's movements were extremely fast, and he had already dug out most of the roots of the Shuji tree. Although the He family was heartbroken when they saw this, no one dared to step forward to stop them. They could only watch He Jitian dig out the Shushu tree little by little. However, when most of the Shuji tree was dug out, the golden iron-gold walnuts turned into golden sparks and slowly fell off the Shuji tree. Everyone was shocked when they saw such a spectacle. However, what surprised them was still to come. This spectacular spark of fire seemed to have life, gathered in one direction, and finally landed on the scene. Next to a certain person, that person is a distinguished guest who only arrived at He's house yesterday... Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei was also shocked by this scene. More than a hundred iron and gold walnuts all turned into sparks and fell on his head and shoulders. Before he could react, they quickly merged into his body. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and Xinghuo returned to the shape of a walnut in his palm. Lin Rufei looked at the walnut in her hand, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. He raised his eyes and saw that the He family members were all staring at him, but there were surprises, doubts, and some traces in their eyes. of badness.
Although He Jitian, who was holding the shovel, showed a little surprise, he quickly recovered his calmness. He continued to wave the shovel in his hand like no one else was around, and continued to dig the soil. came out. The Shujishu, which was not too big in the first place, fell to the ground, accompanied by the low weeping sound from the He family crowd. Some young wives from the He family watched helplessly as their most precious tree was dug up by the roots, which was unacceptable for a while.
He Jitian naturally heard it, but he was still unmoved, and continued to dig down hard. The soil layer gradually disappeared, and a blood-red box was exposed from below. He Jitian saw this The red box was obviously relieved for a long time, dropped the shovel in his hand, and carefully took out the red box.
"Father, what is this?" He Jiyi was still calm, not startled by the strangeness present, and asked after seeing the red box.
He Jitian didn't respond. After he took out the red box, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully wiped the dirt on the red box. Everyone thought that his next move was to open the red box, but he didn't mean to open it at all, but walked to Lin Rufei with the red box in his hands.
At this time, Lin Rufei's whole body was covered with sparks. At first glance, it looked like a glowing golden figure. When he saw He Jitian's movements, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "He Family Head?"
He Jitian smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, accept it."
Lin Rufei said, "But..."
"This is your thing." He Jitian said, "Although I don't know who you are, according to the ancestor's teaching, this thing should be yours."
This is very strange. Lin Rufei stood here clearly, but He Jitian said that he didn't know who he was. Lin Rufei was a little hesitant, but He Jitian's eyes were very firm, as if Lin Rufei wouldn't leave if he didn't take it, Lin Rufei had no choice but to stretch out his hand and take the red box over. The red box is very heavy, and I don't know what is inside. Lin Rufei thanked He Jitian in a low voice, but He Jitian waved her hand and said that these are the rules in the ancestral teachings, and it is what their He family should do, so that Lin Rufei does not need to thank him.
"It's getting late, let's go." After He Jitian finished all this, he seemed to be a little tired, so he asked the He family to leave, and told He Zhiyi to send Lin Rufei back to the resting place.
Lin Rufei wanted to decline, but He Zhiyi put her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "It's about time, Young Master Lin, don't be polite." Then she lowered her voice, "You look at these people too. It's safer for me to see you off." The eyes of the He family wanted to swallow Lin Rufei alive, although they tried their best to suppress it because of He Jitian, it was already very obvious.
Seeing this, Lin Rufei did not insist any longer.
He Zhiyi sent Lin Rufei to the door, watched him enter, and then turned to leave. After he left, he saw He Jitian standing not far away. He Jitian was still holding the shovel in his hand.
"Father." He Zhiyi walked up to He Jitian and called out, "Young Master Lin, what is the origin?"
He Jitian took a deep look at He Freehand and said, "Do you know where Tianjun went last year?"
"Didn't Tianjun break through the void and go away?" He Xiyi frowned, "What does father mean by this?"
He Jitian shook his head: "This matter is extremely secret, and very few people know about it. The ancestors of our He family knew a thing or two because they were close friends of Tianjun."
He Zhiyi stared, feeling that his father's words touched an unspeakable truth.
"Tianjun did step through the void." He Jitian said, "but he didn't leave."
"Then where is he now?!" He Zhiyi asked excitedly.
"I don't know." He Jitian said, "This is the biggest secret in the world. Even the head of the family doesn't know it. He only knows that Tianjun hasn't left, but he doesn't know where he is."
He Shiyi showed a confused look.
"But the things buried under the tree should be related to Tianjun." He Jitian said.
"So this Young Master Lin is also related to Tianjun?" He Jiyi captured the hidden meaning of He Jitian's words.
He Jitian nodded.
He Shiyi showed a thoughtful look.
Lin Rufei entered the room and put down the red box in her hand. Gu Xuandu sat beside the red box, stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the red box for a moment. Lin Rufei said, "Is it yours in the box?"
Gu Xuan nodded.
Lin Rufei said, "Open now?"
Gu Xuandu said, "Well."
Lin Rufei felt a little nervous for some unknown reason. The red box was not locked. There was only a metal clasp. It could be easily opened by raising his hand. It's even heavier than expected. He pursed his lips slightly, showing a tense look, but he didn't make a move.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan laughed, he hugged Lin Rufei gently from behind, took his hand, and said, "What are you afraid of, Xiao Jiu, I'm here."
Gu Xuandu's body temperature passed through Lin Rufei's body through the thin clothes. He calmed down and hummed, as if he was not so panicked, so he stretched out his hand and opened the clasp on the red box. There was a soft click, and the red box opened. When Lin Rufei saw what was inside, he was stunned.
In the red box, there was a pair of broken skeletons. On the top, was a pale white skull. The skull was covered with scars. One of the scars even ran through the entire top of the skull, almost splitting the head. The other bones on the underside of the skull were also broken and could not even find a complete bone. Lin Rufei stared at the fragments of the skeleton, her nose suddenly sour, and tears fell. He was a little dazed, and after a while, he realized that he was crying.
Gu Xuan, who was behind him, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and his tone was a little helpless: "What is Xiao Ji crying for?"
Lin Rufei said, "No... I don't know... I just want to cry." He felt so bad in his heart that he even choked up when he spoke, "It must be very painful."
"It really doesn't hurt." Gu Xuandu rubbed the top of Lin Rufei's head with his chin, as if trying to appease Lin Rufei's sadness, he said, "Really, I won't lie to you."
Lin Rufei said, "Stop talking."
Gu Xuandu was about to say more, but Lin Rufei interrupted him roughly, he said, "Don't talk about it! How could it not hurt!" He pointed to the wound on the skeleton, "It's all hurt like this, how could it be possible? It doesn't hurt!"
Gu Xuan stopped talking.
"What happened to you, and what does it have to do with me?" Lin Rufei said, "Senior, when will you be willing to tell me?"
Gu Xuandu remained silent.
Lin Rufei suddenly let go of her strength, covered her face and stopped talking. He really had nothing to do with Gu Xuandu who refused to cooperate, but Gu Xuandu laughed, turned her head and touched it gently with her lips. Touching Lin Rufei's auricle, he said warmly, "Xiao Jiu's helpless appearance is really nostalgic."
After he finished speaking, he touched the bones in the red box with his fingertips. As soon as the bones were touched by Gu Xuandu, they turned into golden rays of light lingering around his whole body. He closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh, with a look of relief.
Lin Rufei watched from the side, Gu Xuandu's red dress was more vivid, and his expression was a little more agile, as if the faded paintings had added a little more ink.
After doing all this, Gu Xuan yawned and asked if Lin Rufei was sleepy.
Lin Rufei said, "No."
Gu Xuandu said, "Xiao Jiu is mad at me."
Lin Rufei did not speak with a cold face.
Gu Xuandu said, "Don't be angry anymore."
Lin Rufei said, "I said I'm not angry."
Gu Xuandu laughed, and the laugh became louder and louder. Lin Rufei frowned and looked at him before he stopped and said, "No, no, Xiao Jiu is obviously angry, how can I laugh." Even so, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Lin Rufei had a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't do anything about him. Gu Xuan seemed to be easy to talk, but he was actually very stubborn in his bones. Usually, he said it was good, but in fact he still went his own way.
It was indeed a little late, and Lin Rufei also felt tired. After a simple wash, he went to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, his mind was full of bones. He knew that when he asked Gu Xuandu about it, Gu Xuandu would definitely not tell him, so a thought popped into his mind, and he fell asleep drowsily.
The next day was still a hot and sunny day. Lin Rufei got up early and ate the breakfast brought by Floating Flowers listlessly.
Seeing that Lin Rufei was in a bad mood, Fu Hua hurriedly asked him if he was uncomfortable.
Lin Rufei shook her head: "Maybe it's too hot."
Fu Hua said: "The weather is indeed a bit hot. I went to the He family to ask for some ice cubes, and I can make some mung bean soup for the young master to drink?"
Lin Rufei said, "I have no appetite."
"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat." Fu Hua was a little anxious, "Young master is not in good health, how can you do it if you don't eat."
Lin Rufei responded perfunctorily, and Fu Hua had to sigh when she saw this.
After eating, Lin Rufei went to find He Jitian. This is the way, the eyes of the He family all fell on him. Most of their eyes were complicated, curious and hostile. This is normal. Lin Rufei didn't take it to heart either. When Lin Rufei found He Jitian, He Jitian was still eating breakfast, and the He family's breakfast was also unusual. When He Jitian saw Lin Rufei coming, he warmly greeted him to sit down. Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch He, I have something to talk to you in private."
"Oh, okay." He Jitian waved his hand, and the servants and family members beside him left sensible.
Lin Rufei said, "I don't know if the owner of the He family knows that the red box you left for me last night belonged to whom?"
He Jitian said, "What's wrong? There's nothing bad in the box, right?"
Lin Rufei shook her head.
"Oh." He Jitian said, "Although Zu Xun didn't write it, I guess that the red box should be left by Tianjun."
"What? Tianjun left it?" Lin Rufei asked curiously.
He Jitian said: "It's just my personal guess, because the Shuyu tree is a gift from the Heavenly Lord to the He family. In this case, the things buried under the Shuyushu should also come from the hands of the Heavenly Lord."
Lin Rufei frowned.
He Jitian said: "What's wrong?"
Lin Rufei suddenly thought of the countless statues of Tianjun in red in Dajing. He did have this idea in his mind at that time, but he thought it was too absurd, so he forgot it. Who knew that when he came to He's house and encountered this matter, this thought came to his mind again. Although it was a bit incredible, he always felt that this was the answer.
"It's alright." Lin Rufei hesitated, "Does the owner know, where did Tianjun go back then?"
He Jitian shook his head and said he didn't know.
Lin Rufei had no choice but to give up. The whereabouts of Tianjun were indeed a mystery. He Jitian didn't know, and it was normal. Lin Rufei remembered the broken skeleton and said, "Tianjun... have you ever been injured?"
"Injured? How could Tianjun be injured?" He Jitian laughed when he heard Lin Rufei's question, "Tianjun has been cultivated in the ten realms, and no one in the world is invincible. Under the head of the Ten Thousand Demon King, who in the world can hurt such a person?"
This is indeed the case. He Jitian's description is not an exaggeration. The power of the Heavenly Sovereign is heard all over the world, and there are traces of him everywhere in the world. This is the case with Dajing, and so is the He family. Almost every top cultivator family will have inextricable links with Tianjun.
What He Jitian said was true, but if Lin Rufei's guess was right, why was the skeleton so broken? Lin Rufei fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lin Rufei didn't speak anymore, He Jitian didn't rush, and continued to happily eat his braised noodles. His appetite is very good, and the way he eats noodles inexplicably makes people feel very appetizing. Lin Rufei was watching from the side, but He Jitian was a little embarrassed to be seen, wiped his mouth and said, "Young Master Lin, would you like to have a bowl too?"
Lin Rufei said, "No need, I just ate it."
"It's alright, just have a small bowl and have a taste." He Jitian said, "This is made by my wife, and it tastes very good."
Lin Rufei said, "Then... just a small bowl?"
He Jitian smiled and greeted his wife to come over and serve a small bowl for Lin Rufei.
So the two began to eat noodles together.
He Jitian asked Lin Rufei why he suddenly mentioned Tianjun and whether the contents in the box had anything to do with Tianjun. Lin Rufei's answer was vague, saying that he didn't know if it was related, and then asked He Jitian why he thought of giving him this thing.
He Jitian said that this was the ancestral teaching, and the ancestors of the He family said that if someone can induce the Shuyushu to give out a hundred iron-gold walnuts, then they have to dig out the things under the Shuyushu and give it to that person. He just didn’t expect this person to be Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei thought to herself that the person might not be herself, but Gu Xuandu, who is invisible to everyone...
However, the taste of this braised noodles is really good. The noodles have a glutinous texture and a rich soup base, which is very different from the noodles that Lin Rufei has eaten before. Lin Rufei was brought by He Jitian and took a few more bites. After learning something else with He Jitian, there was a loud noise outside the door.
He Jitian's expression changed. He was about to stand up and run away with the bowl in his hand, but the door had already been knocked open. Yesterday, someone with whom Lin Rufei had a relationship broke in and grabbed what he wanted. He Jitian, who ran but didn't run away, panted, "Patriarch He, you are finally willing to see me!!!" This person was the one who wanted to see He Jitian yesterday but was stopped by his servant. Thinking of him coming again today, he even broke in.
He Jitian gave the servant a bad look, and the servant said indifferently, "I... I didn't expect him to dare to rush in."
"Patriarch He, what do you mean!" the man said angrily, "Don't you want to worry about us? That monster is still eating people!"
He Jitian said: "Who said I don't care, didn't I send someone here? The injured disciples of the He family are still lying on the bed, do you want me to take you to see them?"
The man said: "They were injured because they were not good at learning. You can't just leave us alone because of this!!"
He Jitian said: "I can't control it, I can't control it." He waved his hand, "This monster is too powerful, who can beat it." Although he was pretending to be afraid, anyone could tell from his tone Hear the sarcasm.
The man's face froze, and he said bitterly: "Patriarch He, you are not being kind, that monster ate so many innocent passers-by..."
"Innocent passers-by?" He Jitian sneered, "I said Taoist Chen, other people don't know, am I still not clear? It did eat people, but it didn't eat a few innocent passers-by."
The visitor who was called Chen Daoren by He Jitian looked slightly stiff.
"You deliberately released news, didn't you just want to create panic?" He Jitian waved his hand in annoyance, "We don't use the He Family as you want. I haven't seen you for a few days, so I just left some for you. Face, don't give your face shame."
"You... you!!!" Taoist Chen's face was ashen, as if he did not expect that He Jitian would suddenly tear his face with him.
"But it's not impossible if you want us to help you." Just when Chen Daoshi thought that there was no turning point in this matter, He Jitian changed the topic again.
"What do you want?" Chen Daoshi asked.
"Don't you know what I want?" He Jitian said, "Naturally it's the thing that makes the monster refuse to leave."
Taoist Chen said embarrassingly: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
He Jitian waved his hand very ruthlessly: "Futon, see off."
The servant who was called the futon rushed in immediately, and rolled up his sleeves to force Chen Taoist out. Taoist Chen was taken aback by the momentum of the futon, and hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, Patriarch, Lord Patriarch, don't be in such a hurry, we can still discuss it!"
"There is nothing to discuss, either hand over something or leave immediately." He Jitian said coldly.
"Hand over... You can hand it over." Taoist Chen gritted his teeth, "Just, you have to promise to destroy that thing."
He Jitian said: "This is nature."
Taoist Chen said, "Then I'll bring the things over in the afternoon! You have to keep your word!"
He Jitian said: "Our He family has always spoken."
Taoist Chen snorted, turned around and walked away, He Jitian stared at the back of Taoist Chen with a bad expression and disappeared, and then spit viciously towards the ground: "What a rotten Taoist, you can eat that too. Yes, don't be afraid of breaking your teeth!"
After finishing speaking, I remembered that Lin Rufei was still beside her, and her face quickly filled with a kind smile, saying that Nephew Lin was not frightened.
"No, no." Lin Rufei waved her hand, indicating that she was not that vulnerable, and asked what happened.
"Hey, that's a long story." He Jitian said, "It's all because these stupid Taoists are too greedy and cause trouble that shouldn't be caused." He briefly described it, and Lin Rufei knew what happened.
It turned out that the group of Taoists stole a few things belonging to the demons from nowhere, annoyed the demons, and the demons could not enter the Taoist temple where the Taoists lived, so they blocked the only way for them to come out. At first, Taoist Chen came to the He family to ask for help, but the He family didn't think much of it. Hearing that they said that the demon cultivation base was only in the third realm, they sent a few disciples over there. Who knew that those disciples were all severely injured, although they did not It took his life, but he also needed to rest for a long time. After this incident, He Jitian also noticed that something was wrong. After careful investigation, he found that he was trapped by this group of Niubi Taoist priests. To put it bluntly, they took all the benefits, but they had to clean up the mess by themselves. .
Although He Jitian is rude, he is not a brainless person. After inquiring from various sources, after confirming that the group of demons can only attack Taoist priests, he simply left them for a while and watched them anxiously. In order to force the He family to take action as soon as possible, the Taoists began to spread rumors of demons attacking passers-by, so that people who did not know the situation did not dare to go that way.
He Jitian saw it in his eyes, and he was in no hurry. Their He family lived on Shiren Mountain anyway, and they didn't move even if they made irresponsible remarks at the bottom of his mother's mountain.
After listening to Lin Rufei, she also felt that this group of Taoist monks was a bit too much, but this group of demons and beasts was brave enough. This is the central area of Yaoguang Continent. There are countless powerful monks. Packed up.
"But what exactly did the Taoists take?" Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Can you make these demons so crazy?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely a good thing." He Jitian said, "If Young Master Lin has nothing to do, just join in the fun."
Lin Rufei smiled and said yes, he has grown up so big, and he has never seen a demon with his own eyes.
The group of Taoists didn't know how long they had been blocked, but they did look very anxious. After noon, they hurried up from the bottom of the mountain in a hurry, just in time to meet them having lunch. This angel He Ji was so bad that he didn't even call him to eat, so he let him stand by and watch, and only called him in when everyone had almost eaten. Chen Dao's morale was not good, but he didn't dare to offend He Jitian. He could only grit his teeth and say, is the He family head full? Do you want to eat two more bites.
He Jitian patted his head and said that you are right, I am really not full, so I will go in and eat two more bites. After speaking, he turned around and left, rounding Chen Dao's morale eyes.
Lin Rufei looked at him and thought it was really funny. He Jitian's appearance of bullying people was really funny. But it's no wonder that he didn't want to give Chen Daoshi a good face. Those He Family disciples who were seriously injured were still lying on the bed and couldn't get down.
Although Chen Dao was about to vomit blood, he had no choice but to ask others, so he stood under the sun for a while, just when Lin Rufei thought he was about to faint, He Ji genius called people to call him. When he came in, he seemed to be kind enough to let the servant bring mung bean soup, saying that it would be for us Chen Daochang to cool off from the heat.
Where did Taoist Chen drink, he threw the things He Jitian wanted on the table and said, "Take it! I hope you will do what you say and solve those things as soon as possible!"
He Jitian brought over what Taoist Chen had thrown out, opened the bag and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed: "How did you get this thing!"
"Bought it." Chen Daoshi said, "If someone sells it, we will buy it!"
"Why would anyone sell this!" He Jitian looked ugly, "Do you know what this is??"
Taoist Chen said, "Isn't it just the eggs of a few demons? Could it be that Patriarch He has never even seen this?"
"Yes, it is indeed a demon's egg." He Jitian gritted his teeth, "But do you know that this is a king-level egg?"
Taoist Chen was stunned for a moment, and some did not react: "The egg of the king level? What do you mean?"
He Jitian laughed in anger: "Do you know the Seven Kings of Bie'e?"
Taoist Chen said, "I know."
After the King of Ten Thousand Demons was beheaded, the forces of the Bie Continent were divided, and later became the Seven Kings.
He Jitian said, "Hey, the son of the Seventh King is in your hands!"
Taoist Chen shook his hands, his face as pale as earth: "He, He Patriarch, don't make fun of me."
"Joke?" He Jitian said, "Do you think this joke is funny?"
Taoist Chen cried in fright on the spot: "I, I don't know, someone really sold it to me..."
The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: If you hide it from me in the future, I will break your bones!
Gu Xuandu: Guess how this box of bones was broken
Lin Rufei: …
