Taozi's words shocked everyone in the living room, including her uncle and grandpa. What followed was that she kept saying in a calm and steady tone: "Grandpa, do you still remember me?"
My great-uncle stared at Taozi. After a few seconds, his pupils trembled, "You are that...that..."
Taozi nodded.
"Follow me." My uncle's figure flashed, and he took Taozi and disappeared into the living room, leaving everyone inexplicable.
…
The next moment, Taozi and his uncle stood face to face on the top platform of the villa.
"What does the peach tree that the little white fox planted before getting married have to do with you?" the latter asked as if confirming.
Taozi said seriously: "I am the Taozi above. Before I met my cousin, I was always with my grandma..."
"Yes, I understand." My uncle closed his eyes. In his past letter, he knew that Mrs. Tian entrusted Zhao Fan with the peach demon who was always regarded as her granddaughter, but he thought it was just an ordinary peach demon and did not go there.
think.
I recall that when the nine-tailed fox was about to marry into the Zhao family, she planted a peach tree seedling on Penglai Island and cultivated it into a spiritual peach with a drop of her heart's blood. She told the Seven Immortals of Penglai that if she missed herself,
Just take a look at this peach tree.
Until the nine-tailed fox was persecuted to death by Shenjimen, the peach tree had only reached the flowering stage.
After that, the Seven Immortals of Penglai left Penglai Island one after another. Mrs. Tian loved the little white fox the most in her heart, so she was the last one to leave, because the only thing she missed on the island was the peach tree.
Mrs. Tian worked day and night under the peach tree to water it with magic power, and finally, a peach was born.
And that peach, after taking shape, turned into a demon.
In this way, Mrs. Tian regarded it as a symbol of some kind of continuation of the little white fox's life, and took the little peach demon with her to leave Penglai Island. When she met Zhao Fan, she felt that it was most appropriate to let Taozi follow him. After all, it was Zhao Fan's mother.
The fruit of the peach tree whose heart blood enters the Tao.
At this moment, Taozi wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "My demon body contains the blood of the spirit fox, so I can sense the location of my cousin, and whatever he goes through, I will have an inexplicable mind."
induction."
"But... little peach demon, why are you crying?" My uncle was a little confused.
"Crying happily." Taozi stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandpa, I'll go down and say goodbye to everyone, and then I'll take you to find your cousin."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside the yard later." My uncle nodded, but he intuitively felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Taozi's emotions were like a farewell of life and death!
…
Light footsteps sounded, and Taozi returned to the living room.
"Little Taozi, do you really know where the little master is?" Liu Wanfu asked excitedly.
Taozi nodded and looked at everyone silently, her eyes seeming to imprint these faces deeply into her mind.
"Gentle and cute little Taozi, I know you won't lie to us, right?"
"I understand Taozi's character. She won't make fun of this matter."
"We must find Brother Fan."
"As a reward, I will wash all the dishes and chopsticks from now on, and you will be the queen for one year!"
…
Everyone was talking half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Don't worry, I will let my cousin come back safely." Taozi also cried and laughed in response, but there was no sentence about coming back together.
After nearly twenty minutes, she took a deep breath and said, "I want to give you a hug, is that okay?"
"Wow, who did you learn to be so sentimental from?" Xiao Diao said as he rushed forward and gave her a bear hug.
"Eh? Be gentle, she is weak." Jiang Rao smiled and came to Taozi's side.
Gradually, Taozi hugged everyone in the living room except Chen Sanshao, Lin Longtu and others who didn't usually have much contact with each other.
"Well..." Taozi showed a satisfied smile. She turned around and said, "I'll go up to see Sister Qianqian, and then I'll go look for my cousin with my grandpa."
Everyone watched her leave.
Taozi went upstairs to Lin Qianqian's boudoir.
When he opened the door, Baby Dragon suddenly raised his head when he heard the noise. When he saw it was a harmless peach, he bared his teeth and smiled.
"Little Jiujiu." Taozi murmured in a low voice while stroking the baby dragon's horns, "I'm leaving today, will you miss me?"
"Chirp chirp..." Baby Long nodded confusedly.
"Huh." Taozi leaned down and kissed its forehead. Then she stood up straight and looked at Lin Qianqian on the bed quietly. She thought to herself: "What kind of pain does a person have to go through to be like this?"
Lin Qianqian's unchanging and empty eyes seemed to have lost her soul, without any fluctuations.
And her hands were still tightly protecting her lower abdomen. Even with pliers, she could only break it, but couldn't force it open!
"Sister Qianqian, cheer up..." Taozi closed her eyes and prayed a few words, then lowered her upper body and hugged her.
The next second, she turned around and walked out of the door, disappearing into the corridor with the sound of footsteps getting further away.
…
Outside the No. 7 house, the door opened with a creak.
My great-uncle, who was smoking silently, looked up and saw Tao Zi coming out. He threw away the cigarette butt and stood up and said, "Little Peach Demon, you don't want to tell me what you are hiding in your heart?"
Taozi was startled, shook her head and smiled: "I don't plan to."
"Then let's set off." My great-uncle casually threw out a piece of wooden golden roc, and then it turned into a roc in mid-air that was as big as a helicopter, spreading its powerful wings.
This is the palace secret treasure whose quality is second only to the large coffin. He originally planned to give it to Zhao Fan as a gift after he opened the first sacred treasure.
My uncle grabbed Taozi and jumped onto the back of the golden roc.
Taozi, on the other hand, turned her head and looked reluctantly at the No. 7 house diagonally below, then turned back with tears in her eyes and pointed in the direction, "Fly that way."
In the past, she had been following Mrs. Tian, living a boring life day after day. During the time after she left with her cousin, she had many firsts of various kinds, and she lived a fulfilling and happy life.
Now, it's time to say goodbye to all of this. Even if Taozi is reluctant to part with it, she knows that what she is about to do is much more important!
…
The golden-winged roc soars above the clouds at a speed that is almost phantom.
I don't know how much time passed, but Taozi sensed it and said: "We're almost there, fly to the right."
"Let me see where this is..." My uncle looked down and said in surprise after a moment: "We have entered the southern boundary. This is completely different from Guantou Cliff."
However, he did not doubt it.
Because among the precedents in history of falling into Guillotine Cliff, there are even precedents of corpses appearing in foreign lands.
Next, under Taozi's guidance, my uncle fine-tuned the position three times.
"Just along this direction, a hundred miles ahead, is where my cousin is." Tao Zi felt relieved.
"become!"
The great-uncle drove the golden-winged roc with all his strength, eager to reach the destination immediately. He was puzzled and depressed, as if the cause and effect between him and Zhao Fan had been completely cut off. He tried all his methods on the way, but could not touch him at all.
A wisp, even if it is destroyed by Longyang Golden Pill, it won't be so bad, right?
Soon after, the Golden Winged Greenhouse swooped down.
We landed in a deserted grand canyon. The grass on the ground was very sparse and there were rocks everywhere.
My uncle and grandpa looked left and right, but there was no sign of Zhao Fan, so he turned his attention to the little peach demon.
Taozi closed her eyes and moved step by step, finally standing on the edge of the canyon. There was a large, bottomless crack at the bottom, and the light was very poor.
She said in an extremely sure tone: "Grandpa, my cousin is down there."
My uncle looked at the big crack, pondered for a few seconds and then nodded: "Let's go down and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably sacred golden light appeared in his palm. After wrapping Taozi, he grabbed her wrist and jumped into the gap between the canyon.
As it continued to descend, the gap gradually narrowed, and in the end it was just a gap that even a person could not pass sideways.
Surprisingly, on the other side of the narrow gap, there was the sound of the river and a little sunlight. Although it was dim, it was not as dark as a lack of visibility.
Granduncle and Taozi stopped on this side, leaning nervously and expectantly in front of the gap, looking down into it.
It was a piece of dark green grass.
And on the grass, there was a young man lying, who seemed to be dead or sleeping. His tattered clothes were stained red with large blood stains, and there was a shocking large gash in his abdomen, which was rolled outwards...
