Chapter 45
The fact that Yun Gao was Mo Jiaojiao's stand-in was concealed by Dugu Jiu and Hong Yu Patriarch together, and even Fairy Hongyan didn't know about it.
Ancestor Hongyu originally advocated telling Fairy Hongyan about this matter, but he was busy thinking about the truth about the slaughter of Yinshen Valley that day, but he didn't realize it, and followed Chongrong Jianzun's arrangement in a daze, and found an excuse So he sent a letter to Hongyan, and successfully appeased him.
Waiting until sunset, the old man with long beard finally came to his senses, he realized that he had been fooled by Chongrong with the Biehe Sword again, but it was too late to repent, so he had to think about looking for another opportunity to tell Hongyan.
Mo Jiaojiao was ignorant, and even after hearing the conversation between the old man with white beard and Dugu Jiu, he didn't understand why, and just obediently ate the pastry in a foolish way.
After eating the lotus cake, he followed Dugu back to the Tianyahai Pavilion for nine days, and lingered for lunch before being sent to the bank of Ranyue Lake to take root and practice.
When the man woke up in the morning, he said he wanted to bathe him, and Mo Jiaojiao kept it in his heart.The child stumbled and was led to the lake by the tall man, his clear eyes swept across the steaming lake, and he stood obediently still.
Dugu Jiu leaned over and knelt on one knee by the lake, brushed his slender and white palm across the clear lake water, checked the temperature, but when he took it back, it was as dry as before.He looked up at the child in front of him, and said lightly: "I will practice here today."
Mo Jiaojiao pinched the little jade pendant around her waist, looked at the lake with round black eyes, and refused to move.
Dugu Jiu thought that the child was obsessed with the red clothes, so he raised his hand to take off the fluffy hat for him, and said slowly: "There are a lot of pepper red clothes, after today's transformation, this body will be cleaned by the paper boy , get a new one."
Mo Jiaojiao nodded his head slowly, let go of his little hand holding his belt, let the man untie it for him, and asked with some expectation: "Will Dugu Jiu give Jiao Jiao a bath?"
The big hand that was helping to unbutton the clothes stopped suddenly, Dugu Jiu raised his eyes to look into the child's black and innocent eyes, and said after deliberation: "You can go directly into the water after being burnt and burnt."
In other words, Cherry Pepper relies on the psychic liquid in the lake to cultivate, and does not need to bathe like ordinary people at all. Just change back to its original shape and jump into the lake to cleanse the dirt naturally.
"But..." Mo Jiaojiao frowned, glanced at the lake water aggrievedly, and argued: "Jiaojiao has turned into a hot pepper, so I have to take a bath. Last time I poured sweet soup, Dugu Jiu helped me wash it."
"En." Dugu Jiu responded noncommittally, and took off the red robe for the child, and swiftly untied the bellyband, took off the shoes, then quickly hugged the child, turned his back to the direction of the breeze, and put his arms around him. The soft dumplings were put into the warm lake water.
As soon as Mo Jiaojiao slipped into the warm water, he stretched out his small hand and grabbed the man's sleeve. He kicked the water curiously. Except for his head, the rest of his small body sank in the water, and he muttered: "Okay!" Comfortable."
"Yeah." Dugu Jiu was still holding the child under the armpit with one hand. Seeing that Mo Jiaojiao hadn't transformed, Fang whispered, "Pepper pepper transforms into shape, don't mess around."
Mo Jiaojiao shook his head unhappily, and said stubbornly: "Dugu Jiu said to bathe Jiao Jiao, so Jiao Jiao can't change his original shape."
"Why?" The man frowned slightly, his cold eyes and eyebrows were hidden in the lingering mist, making it hard to see clearly.
Angrily, Mo Jiaojiao stretched out his arm to pat the water, and complained: "Last time when Dugu Jiu washed Jiaojiao, Grandpa said you were washing vegetables, and Jiaojiao heard it."
Mo Jiaojiao was obviously very angry, his eyes that were moistened by the heat were wide open, and he looked very childish, he said stubbornly: "Jiao Jiao is not cabbage, Dugu Jiu doesn't want to wash vegetables. Jiao Jiao doesn't want to change form."
"..." Dugu Jiu obviously never thought that the child would keep Hongshan's jokes in his heart, and believed them to be true, so annoyed that he refused to take form.He looked down at the child in the lake who was slapping the water and venting his anger. After pondering for a moment, he explained: "Hong Shan was just joking with you."
Mo Jiaojiao pursed his mouth tightly, paddled his hands, and finally said softly after a long time: "What the old man said is true, Jiaojiao is a cabbage. So don't change your form."
Dugu Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, so he simply sat down cross-legged by the lake, still supporting the child's body with his powerful palms, his eyes were deep and cold, and he didn't show any emotion.
Mo Jiaojiao couldn't understand the man's emotional changes, he swam a little towards the lake, grabbed the other's sleeve with one hand, and grabbed the green grass with the other.Who would have thought that the ink-colored smooth sleeve would sink into the water after being pulled by him, smeared with wet marks, the child hurriedly let go of his hand, and pushed the sleeve to the shore.
He secretly glanced at the man's expression with some anxiety, and said without confidence: "Jiao Jiao didn't do it on purpose."
Dugu Jiu kept watching the child's movements, heard that the soft black hair was covered with a big palm, rubbed it lightly, and retracted it again.He didn't let go of the palm holding the child, but asked in a low voice, "Why are you naughty?"
With Little Cherry Pepper's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to take a bath so persistently.Mo Jiaojiao always plunged into the water whenever he saw it, how could he be so coquettish and delay for a long time.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Mo Jiaojiao's eyes turned red. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and the red eye sockets became even redder. The child seemed to be throwing a tantrum, and kicked the water angrily. : "After hearing Jiao Jiao's words, Dugu Jiu knows that there are many Mo Jiao Jiaos in Yinshen Valley, so he won't like Jiao Jiao in the future."
Mo Jiaojiao wiped away the smudged tears from his eyes, and said in a pitiful voice, "Jiao Jiao is not a good boy, the owner of the valley used to take another Mo Jiaojiao to buy candied haws, and if he didn't take me, Jiao Jiao would have to write a lot of words." , I was about to cry, but the owner of the valley and the elder said it was for my own good. Jiao Jiao is still sad, I am a bad boy."
The soft and aggrieved voice resounded by the silent lakeside, and then gradually disappeared into nothingness.
Dugu Jiu pursed his lips slightly, his face was indifferent, he pondered for a moment, stretched out his other hand to hold the arm of the child in the lake, with a slight force in his hand, he lifted the child out of the water and pressed him into his arms.
Then, the man stood up with the wet child in his arms, and slowly stepped into the warm lake water.
The crystal clear water spread over the man's calf, dipped over his knee, and finally stopped at his chest.
He unskillfully took a soft handkerchief, soaked it and pressed it on the child's weak back, scooped up the water and wiped it carefully, his expression and movements were meticulous.
He actually went into the water to bathe Mo Jiaojiao.
"Peppers are good."
A calm and calm voice sounded in his ears, Mo Jiaojiao let go of the hand holding the man's clothes in a daze, clenched his small fist shyly, and said guiltily: "Jiaojiao knew he was wrong."
It was true that he had asked the other party to go into the water willfully at first, but the child always wanted to come out as soon as he came out, but it was just because of anxiety.But Dugu Jiu really complied with his request.
"There will be no other dolls." The cold male voice sounded again, Dugu Jiutuo turned around with the child in his arms, wiped his soft stomach, and said firmly: "Jiaojiao did nothing wrong. The owner of Yinshen Valley As well."
Mo Jiaojiao was stunned for a while before he realized, and repeated: "Is Jiaojiao right? Neither is the owner of the valley."
"En." Dugu Jiu finished wiping the child lightly, then led the people to the shallow water, found a higher stone and sat down, let Mo Jiaojiao sit on his lap, and continued soaking in the spiritual liquid.
The drenched clothes on his body were not very comfortable, but Dugu Jiu has always been self-confident and respectful, and did not intend to take them off, and there was no trace of discomfort in his eyes, and he was still calm.
Mo Jiaojiao didn't notice it. After he got the affirmative answer, he frowned and remembered that the spiritual power contained in the lake water gradually penetrated along the surface of the body along with his unconscious breathing, absorbed by the meridians, and condensed. Formed into a stream of spiritual energy, it circulated slowly.
Dugu Jiu's big hand placed on the child's dantian keenly discovered the vortex of spiritual energy circling upwards, and the icy true essence was released at the same time, assisting the demon power in Mo Jiaojiao's body to suppress the sky fire and ensure his safety.
Everything went smoothly without Mo Jiaojiao's unconsciousness. After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out. He loosened his frown, clumsily climbed up on the man's lap, turned around and sat on his knees, leaning on Dugu Jiu's chest Looking intently at the other party's long and deep eyes.
The child's whole body was soaked in hot water and turned red, and the soft and curly black hair on his head was even more limp by the steam, sticking to his forehead, water droplets flowed down a strand of black hair stuck to his forehead, itching The child raised his hand to touch his forehead, then pulled his own hair.
Dugu Jiu noticed his movement, opened her eyes and saw Mo Jiaojiao stretching out her white hand to grab the curly black hair, as if she was trying to pull the soft hair off, she hurriedly raised her hand to grab the little hand, and held it for him. Brush black hair behind ears.
Mo Jiaojiao felt better, so he exhaled, and said troubledly: "Jiaojiao doesn't like soft hair. Guzhu has very little hair."
"The owner of the valley is getting old." Dugu Jiu replied casually, the bald appearance of the owner of Yinshen Valley appeared in his mind, and he frowned slightly.
Mo Jiaojiao lay in the man's arms, after thinking for a while, he used the demonic power to wrap himself, slowly turning into the original shape.
The little cherry pepper fell onto the man's lap, and stood up unsteadily again.Mo Jiaojiao said in a low voice and excitedly: "Jiaojiao has melted into shape, I am obedient."
"En." Dugu Jiu's voice was steady.
Mo Jiaojiao became happy.The child was very lively when he didn't get into the horns. He waved his long branches in the water, and then tried his best to jump up, but he was still submerged in the lake without his head popping up. He turned his head and looked around. It was only then that he realized that he seemed to be too short, standing on the man's lap, he couldn't reach the water surface at all.
"Dugu Jiu, I'm scorched in the water and can't get out." Little Pepper asked for help in a soft voice.
The man remained motionless, closing his eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Mo Jiaojiao stepped on the firm knees of his head and jumped again, and the leaves also stroked slowly, nestling in the lake water foolishly, completely forgetting his experience of surfacing the water last time.
Dugu Jiu didn't say a word, just settled down silently, his powerful consciousness covered the entire Ranyue Lake, and he could see all of Cherry Pepper's clumsy movements.
Mo Jiaojiao didn't jump up for a long time, so he stopped to think seriously. He hung down the branch to look at his roots, and then waved the leaves to paddle in the water. The fabric on the man's lap, no wonder he couldn't jump out.
With some shame, the little pepper quickly retracted the soft roots, waved the leaves and swam to the surface of the water easily. It quietly approached Dugujiu, looked into the man's eyes, and was relieved when he saw that the other party hadn't moved. Pretending nothing happened, he happily swam to the center of the lake.
One person and one pepper stayed at the bank of Ranyue Lake for a whole afternoon. When Mo Jiaojiao had swam enough, he urged Dugu Jiu to hug him to take root, and obediently sat in the mud by the lake for two hours.
Until dusk fell, Dugu Jiu still hadn't woken up from the sedation. Little Pepper nestled in the soil, feeling bored, so he listened to Bie Hejian muttering while practicing.
As the sky got darker, the little cherry pepper became more and more sleepy, and the soft branches wobbled, unable to support it and fell to one side.
A slightly cool palm stretched out from the side at the right time, holding the small and exquisite cherry pepper, and kept the same posture until dawn.
