little spicy jiao

Chapter 97

Because Mo Jiaojiao got Jiaosheng's first mount, he happily rode the duck around the inn all night.

Afterwards, Dugujiu took a bath and saw the child's admiration, and took the duck for a walk on the street, fully satisfying Mojiaojiao's wish to dazzle the duck.

When the pedestrians on the street became less and Hai Shi was approaching, Mo Jiaojiao also took a nap on the duck's back, the man picked up the child, took the duck and went back to the inn.After going back, it is inevitable to take a bath again before resting.

In the next three days, the child stuck to his new playmate and played around in Huai'an Town.

After Shen Siyuan reconciled with Lian Yunshan, he also ran around with Mo Jiaojiao, living a very leisurely and comfortable life.

On the other hand, Dugu Jiu sneaked into the inn where Huai Mo was staying to investigate a few times alone, and found out the other party's next plan.

When Mo Jiaojiao really left for the secret realm, it was the day when Huai Mo returned to the secret realm with Tun Chu Sword.

Outside the town of Huai'an is the endless Luotuo Forest in the western part of the mainland, in which there are countless thousand-year-old trees, which can be said to block out the sky.

Dugu Jiu hugged the child and hid her figure, followed Huai Mo silently, all the way to the bottom of a huge locust tree in the middle of the forest.

The locust tree is lush and exuberant, with intertwined roots. Countless thick roots emerge from the ground, and then entangled and deeply rooted in the fertile land. The dense leaves block the scattered sunlight, and the forest is ethereal and silent.

Dugu Jiu raised her eyes and stared at Huai Mo standing under the tree in front of her.Standing on the left side of the young man was an unusually thick and tall man.

Looking from a distance, the man is hanging his hands in front of him with his hands bent, and a red sleeve can be seen hanging from the bend of his arms. He is obviously holding the Tun Chu Sword that has transformed into the appearance of Mo Jiaojiao.

Seeing that Huai Mo was facing the trunk of the big tree, he suddenly stepped forward slowly, put his hand on an inexplicably scorched spot in the center of the trunk, and pressed down heavily.

In the next moment, the scorched black place suddenly sunken downwards, revealing a simple hexagram plate.The hexagram plate was not embedded in the tree trunk, but suspended in it, slowly rotating in a strange rhythm.

The young man took out the dagger and scratched his fingertips, and tapped his blood-oozing thumb on the center of the rotating dial, and the dial instantly lit up, emitting a glaring white light.

When the burst of light dissipated, the hexagram disk had stopped spinning.

Afterwards, the young man changed his hand again, pressed on the hexagram plate, and slowly turned it.

Obviously, he didn't just blindly rotate in one direction, but turned upwards at a certain angle and then downwards at different angles. He went back and forth at least ten times in different arcs, and the hexagram disk suddenly issued a thin "click". With a beep, it sank into the tree again.

In the blink of an eye, there was a deafening loud noise from the center of the tree trunk, and then, a continuously rotating vortex suddenly appeared in the midair.

The young man took two steps back immediately, followed the tall and strong man beside him, got on the flying spirit weapon, flew into the air in one go, rushed towards the center of the vortex, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Dugu Jiu turned his head and looked at Shen Siyuan, nodded slightly, propped up the protective barrier with his thick true energy, raised his hand to cover Mo Jiaojiao's wide-open eyes, hugged the child and quickly rose into the air, piercing the vortex with a sword in one hand In the center, he withdrew the spirit sword with lightning speed and rushed in.

Shen Siyuan also followed closely behind. As his figure disappeared, the vortex circling in the midair seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. After a sudden rotation, it turned into countless dark spots of light and scattered in the air.

***

The towering ancient trees cover the sky and block out the sun.

In the deep and dense forest, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and casts mottled tree shadows on the ground.

In the middle of the forest, a tall and straight man dressed in black stood with his hands behind his back, his face was cold, his cold eyes fell on the huge deep pit in front of him, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

And in the deep pit directly in front of him, broken tree roots could be vaguely seen, and the exposed soil was dark and moist, looking like the traces left by the trees that originally grew here not long ago when they were uprooted.

A thin young man in a green shirt came from not far away, walked around the pit, raised his head and said, "Chongrong, this forest... looks exactly like the Luotuo Forest we just entered."

The summoned Dugu Jiu raised his eyes to look at the young man, and said indifferently: "Since this is the case, there should be a locust tree here. Shen Siyuan, I think this locust tree should be the body of the locust tree demon."

"Is this true?" Shen Siyuan looked at the deep pit in surprise, frowned after a while and said: "The place where the demon clan is resurrected should have its own body, that is, the body of the locust tree demon should be here, and this forest I have seen all of them, and there is no locust tree anywhere, when we came in, this was the only locust tree in Luotuo Forest. That’s it.”

Dugu Jiu nodded slightly, his eyes shifted from the deep pit to the lush forest, and his voice was low and depressing, with hidden hostility.

"In the dream of Jiaojiao, he should have appeared in the forest as soon as he entered the dream. However, I have searched all over the secret realm, but I have never found Jiaojiao's figure. Tingfeng Bei is safe and sound, obviously Jiaojiao is in the secret realm."

"I suspect that Jiao Jiao was hidden because he fell into a dream." Shen Siyuan sighed worriedly, took out the hexagram plate and looked at it for a while, then asked suddenly: "Chongrong, the moment Jiao Jiao entered the vortex , is he conscious?"

"No." Dugu Jiu frowned slightly and denied: "Jiaojiao has the protection of my true energy, and has not touched the vortex, but the secret realm seems to have a great influence on him. Before I passed through the vortex, he fell into a coma .”

"Sure enough." Shen Siyuan nodded, raised the hexagram plate to face the north, and said: "My ability has no effect here. It is the junction of dream and reality, Jiao Jiaoding has already entered the dream, and we still stay outside the dream, or the intersection, so we can’t find him.”

Dugu Jiu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment when he heard the sound, the dark and narrow eyes slowly congealed.

He looked up and looked around, and went straight to a nearby lush tree, looked up at the faint sunlight shining down from the top of the tree, condensed his true energy with his fingertips, and flicked it out.

Seeing the snow-colored ice lotus formed by the condensed true essence jumping lightly into the air, and disappearing without a trace in the sunlight in the blink of an eye, Dugu Jiu retracted his gaze, continued to walk, and came to another big tree.

The man raised his hand and summoned the Biehe Sword, flew up with one foot, held the sword with one hand, and slashed in the air without hesitation, the dazzling sword light streaked across the air.

In the next second, the black figure floated to the ground, and the big tree behind him also fell down, leaving only a round tree stump in place.

Dugu Jiu turned around and walked to the wooden post, looked down at the growth rings on it, and said in a deep voice:

"Shen Siyuan, your ability can only peek into the future?"

Shen Siyuan walked up to the man's side in puzzlement, nodded and said: "Naturally. What happened in the past is an established fact. No matter how powerful the master of this sect is, it is impossible to grasp all of them. Only uncertain things in the future can be predicted one or two times." .”

Dugu Jiu looked down at the growth rings on the tree stump, and said in thought: "It has been two hours since I entered the secret realm from the Luotuo Forest, but I have noticed that the sunlight here has not moved in the slightest. Here The tree rings are also too young, and the shape of the tree is very different, and the gap is at least 500 years."

"This...you mean, the time here is still?" Shen Siyuan subconsciously squeezed the dial in his hand, and said in disbelief.

"Well. To be precise, the time in the Senhai Secret Realm stays at a certain point in the past." Dugu Jiu replied firmly, and casually threw the Biehe sword in his hand to Shen Siyuan, "Look at Biehe."

Shen Siyuan hurriedly took the spirit sword, and after examining it carefully for a while, he said in surprise: "Why is the fringe of the Biehe Sword turning red? I remember that it was wearing a black fringe before entering the secret realm."

Just as he was speaking, the spirit sword held by the young man broke free suddenly, and flew into the air, facing Shen Siyuan obliquely, the sword body clanged, and the jet-black sword energy continuously overflowed from the sword body, it was a sign of extreme anger .

In the silent woods, only Bie Hejian shouted sharply: "Crow's mouth! How dare you appear in front of me? The last time I cheated Master Jian, I haven't settled with you yet. You should be dishonest and stay in Yinshen Valley to retire. , actually ran to the sword master and dangled around again, did you want to play tricks again?"

When Shen Siyuan heard this, he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Bie He, what are you talking about? Isn't this... Isn't it what you told me when we met 15 years ago? Are you sleepwalking?"

Dugu Jiu raised his hand to hold the handle of the Biehe Sword, retracted the furious spirit sword, and said: "My cultivation level has gone back to 15 years ago. The dark wound that was healed by Jiaojiao with peppers has also returned to the past. Inside. Shen Siyuan, don't you understand?"

"So that's how it is..." Shen Siyuan looked at the other party in astonishment, and murmured: "No wonder the curse in my body disappeared without a trace after entering the secret realm. The curse in the body cannot take effect. If the time of the secret realm is indeed stuck 15 years ago, then I really did not get the curse of heaven at that time."

The young man touched his heart with his hand, checked it again, suddenly his face darkened, he raised his head to look at Dugu Jiu, and said in confirmation:

"If everything went back to 15 years ago, wouldn't Jiao Jiao also go back... when he fell into a dream at the age of three?"
