little spicy jiao

Chapter 39

The Tianyan Sword Sect is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, but the main peaks have different scenery.Bounded by Xiaori Peak, the main peak where the patriarch Hongyu lived, the southern face is full of flowers, grasses, and warblers, such as Yanhui Peak where the patriarch Hongming and his disciple Liu Guang lived; All he knows is Tianyahaige, the territory of Chongrong Sword Master.

When Mo Jiaojiao lived in Yinshen Valley when he was a child, it was like spring all the year round in Yinshen Valley, and it never snowed.

Every morning, the child would be woken up by the roar of the cannibal flower elder who sounded like a bell, and then he would follow the owner of Yinshen Valley out of the cave with small steps in a daze.The old and the young, from the south of the valley, walk to the northernmost Zangshu Pavilion to attend classes, day after day, year after year, without interruption.

And today is Mo Jiaojiao's first morning after leaving the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Dugujiu had previously told the child that he would take him out after dinner, and Mo Jiaojiao had been looking forward to it.After the two of them finished their breakfast, the child dragged the man's sleeves and walked around in the library, talking without saying a word.

Dugu Jiu is taller than ordinary people, and Mo Jiaojiao, who is ten years old and frail, only reaches the man's waist standing behind him.The figure with black hair and black robe walked slowly among the bookshelves, and the child also stumbled along, staring at the neatly arranged books on the shelves with dark eyes.

"The owner of the valley used to have a lot of books." After following for a while, Mo Jiaojiao staggered with his left foot and bumped into Dugujiu's back. Looking up at the rows of books, he said seriously:

"The owner of the valley takes Jiaojiao to the school every day, but the library is far away from Jiaojiao's sunset lake. It takes a long time to walk, so the owner of the valley puts the books in the school. The elder said that the school is too far away, it's not good, Gu Don't go so far when the owner is old, the owner of the valley will not listen."

"Why don't you listen?" Dugu Jiu took out a book of cultivation techniques and asked with his head bowed.

Mo Jiaojiao kicked his feet in black and red boots, and muttered: "Master Gu said that Jiaojiao can't even walk, so he needs to practice more. Walk every day, and he will get used to it after a long time."

Hearing this, Dugu Jiu glanced at the child's hand grabbing his sleeve, recalling the number of times Mo Jiaojiao stumbled while walking in the past two months, and couldn't help but doubt the practicality of what the owner of Yinshen Valley said. "Why does Jiaojiao always trip over?"

Mo Jiaojiao looked down at his own toes, frowned, and said honestly: "Jiaojiao's roots are just a lump, and I can't walk steadily. The elder said that I only have one foot."

"Huh?" Dugu Jiu looked at the child's feet, and suddenly recalled the appearance of the bouncing cherry pepper that had turned into its own body. He thought that the bouncing and walking of the little pepper was because he was too naughty, but it wasn't?

Plants have always had many roots, and ordinary plant demons can easily maintain their balance and walk freely.Mo Jiaojiao's body roots are tangled up, if the child still retains the habit of being a cherry pepper after transforming, then it is reasonable to be unstable.

"Let's go." After thinking for a while, the man put the book back on the shelf, turned around and walked out slowly, "I'll take you out to digest food."

"Where are you going?" Mo Jiaojiao pulled his ink-colored sleeves and followed step by step.

"Jiaojiao has been walking for ten years, so let's continue walking." Dugu Jiu said calmly, "Walking every morning is also beneficial to your practice."

Unlike most monks who retreat and advance, monster races are born and raised between heaven and earth, so they should go out frequently to practice.

The man's words obviously pleased Mo Jiaojiao. The child recalled the scene when Gu Zhu took him out, and hurriedly walked a few steps and followed crookedly, his eyes full of joy and anticipation.

***

From the top of Tianya Haige Peak, along the mountain road around and down the mountain, passing by the Xiaori Peak of Hongyu Patriarch, the man raised his eyes and glanced at the quiet main peak. He did not intend to bring the child in, but only led him all the way to the south and go.

The mountain road was not very easy to walk. Mo Jiaojiao stumbled and staggered while walking. He grabbed the man's sleeve and kicked stones on the ground from time to time. Whenever he almost tripped, he was picked up by the hat and stood firm again, continuing to move forward.

The child followed along excitedly, his round black eyes happily looking at the beautiful or magnificent scenery in all directions, and he asked various questions curiously.However, gradually, as the road traveled became longer and longer, Mo Jiaojiao, who was eager to try, became quiet for some reason, and only focused on walking.

When the two arrived at the medicine garden where Lianyun Mountain's daily cuisine was served, the round and round child in red clothes had completely stopped talking.He raised his head and glanced at the well-planned medicine garden in the medicine garden, then looked back, stared down at the flowers at his feet, and didn't move.

Seeing the child's low interest, Dugu Jiu's expression didn't change, and he asked slowly, "Do you want to go in and have a look at Jiaojiao?"

Mo Jiaojiao slowly shook his head, he let go of the hand that was holding the other party's sleeve, his two fleshy little hands were clasped together, he squatted down, resting his soft white chin on his knee, motionless.

Dugu Jiu frowned slightly, he glanced at the surrounding environment, but didn't find anything that might cause the child's discomfort, he was speechless for a moment.

The squatting child buried his head and rubbed his forehead against his knees, curling his fluffy temple hair even more.He clasped his hands together and pressed on his abdomen, and waited for a while, seeing the man standing aside with a cold face and no response, he couldn't help but flatten his mouth in grievance, and said softly: "Jiao Jiao is tired, don't go."

If it were someone else, seeing the child say this at this moment, they would definitely pick him up, pat him, and take him back to rest.However, Dugu Jiu's eyes were clear, his face was very solemn, and he said solemnly: "There is still a quarter of an hour, after this journey is completed, the demonic power of Jiaojiao Dantian can complete the last cycle."

Hearing the sound, Mo Jiaojiao shook his head, feeling even more aggrieved. He pulled out his two hands stuffed in his stomach and hugged his knees. The little red ball squatted and refused to move, and said in a coquettish voice: "Jiaojiao won't leave. Hug. Don't move."

The man looked indifferent, unmoved, just looked at him with his head down.To Dugujiu, it is obviously not as important as practice when the child acts like a baby to make him happy.

Mo Jiaojiao didn't get a response, so he stretched out his hand to grab the fur ball on his boots, frowned sadly and said: "The owner of the valley will lead me when he takes Jiao Jiao out, Dugu Jiu will not lead me. Jiao Jiao is tired, Gu Zhu can't hug me, and Dugu Jiu can't hug me either."

As Mo Jiaojiao spoke, he choked with grievance, and said angrily, "Jiaojiao, don't go out for a walk. You don't hug Jiaojiao."

Dugu Jiu, who was standing with his hands behind his back, was really wronged at this moment.The man intends to promote the child's spiritual progress by getting close to the creatures of heaven and earth, but the child happily followed him out to make up for the regret that the owner of the Yinshen Valley never hugged him.

All children yearn for closeness and love, Mo Jiaojiao walks the whole way full of expectations, but the lonely and cold man not only refuses to lead him, even he is unwilling to hug him when he is tired.

Dugu Jiu pursed his thin lips, looked down at the sulking child, his eyes were dark, he paused, bent one knee and squatted down in front of the child, pressed his big palm on the fluffy black head, and gently rubbed kneaded.

The child felt relieved after being rubbed, looked up at the other party, stretched out his hands reluctantly, and repeated it again, in a thin voice, "Hold Jiao Jiao."

Now he is protected by the Great Wilderness Circle, and he is much smarter. With red eyes, he pitifully and ferociously "threats": "Dugu Jiu doesn't hug Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao will block the door here and won't leave."

"...Stupid." Dugu Jiu reprimanded him in a cold voice, he had no choice but to hold the child under his armpit, hugged him, and pressed him into his arms.

Mo Jiaojiao stretched out his arms to hug the man's neck, and asked persistently: "The owner of the valley can't hold me. Why doesn't Dugu Jiu not hold me? Elder Cannibal Flower said that children in the secular world are held every day, Jiaojiao If it’s a cabbage, no one will hug it. Why am I a cabbage?”

The child said what was on his mind as foolishly as a bean, but Dugu Jiulian was pure and innocent, and slowed down his voice: "That man-eating flower demon lied to you." After finishing speaking, he didn't explain the reason anymore.

Mo Jiaojiao is still too young, bringing the child back to Tianya Haige to raise him personally is already spoiling too much, and it is not a good thing.However, he couldn't rest assured that he would hand over Jiaojiao to others to teach him.Now the world of comprehension is full of dangers, and children have no power to protect themselves, so they should not be taken lightly.

Unexpectedly, Mo Jiaojiao didn't seem very convinced after listening to the other party's answer, because the child remembered that the elder of the cannibal flower had sworn that if he made a false statement, he would starve for three months, but he believed what Dugu Jiu said, after much deliberation, The child rubbed his eyes blankly, then lay in the man's arms in a daze.

Dugu Jiu didn't want him to get to the bottom of it, so he carried him into the medicine garden and went straight to the deepest part.

After walking for a while, the neat medicine garden disappeared, replaced by a vast green grassland.

Mo Jiaojiao looked around unconsciously, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on one place, and he stopped moving.

He stared blankly at the things that appeared in his field of vision, tilted his head strangely, then opened his mouth tentatively, and let out a soft cry: "Baa."

In the next moment, an equally soft but more real "baaaaaa" came from the direction the child was facing.

Dugu Jiu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the place where the voice came from, and remained silent.

But Mo Jiaojiao was happy. He looked at the white sheep yelling "baa baa" in novelty, raised his hand and patted Dugu Jiu's arm, and demanded: "There are lambs here, Jiao Jiao wants to see the sheep." .”

The eagerness to be lively and clever has completely disappeared from the clingy and pitiful appearance just now.

Dugujiu was noncommittal, just picked up the child's hat and put it on for him, then put him down, indifferently watching the child run wildly towards the white and soft sheep, the tassel pendant hanging from his body made a melodious ding-dong Voice.Looking closely, Mo Jiaojiao's steps are still crooked, without making any progress, but running extremely steadily.

Perhaps, to teach Pepper to walk does not require such a painstaking plan. Sometimes, all he needs is a sheep.
