Facts have proved that Wen Jiu was right.
She and Tu Moxue crossed the stream on stones, followed each other through a sea of dense flowers, and finally met the legendary Emperor Xiu.
According to records in the book, fifty miles to the east is the mountain called Shaoshi, which is covered with hundreds of grass and trees. There is a tree on it, and its name is Dixiu. Its leaves are like poplars, and its branches have five branches. It has yellow flowers and black solids. Those who obey it will not be angry. (1)
To put it simply, Dixiu is similar to Yang Shu.
Its branches cross each other and stretch out in all directions, and it also bears yellow flowers and black fruits.
Legend has it that as long as you take the fruit of Dixiu, you can stay calm and forget all your worries and sorrows.
Wen Jiu didn't know whether those legends were true, but she had no intention of studying the truth at the moment.
Because the Emperor Xiu in front of her was much bigger than the poplar tree, and the trunk was so thick that it was shocking.
She felt that if she walked around Di Xiu, it would probably take seven or eight minutes.
The branches of Dixiu are crossed and stretched into the distance, and the tree roots are also twisted and protruding from the ground.
The lush branches and leaves almost covered the blue sky, causing the sunlight to be scattered into bunches of broken light.
That little bit of light fell from it and reflected on the dew-filled flowers, instantly creating a bright rainbow.
The extremely thick tree roots protrude from the ground, allowing all kinds of small animals to play on them.
There are squirrels holding gray mushrooms, sika deer resting under the trees, and even lively little rabbits.
She could feel the oncoming vitality just by standing there.
"This is Emperor Xiu," Tu Moxue looked at the towering tree with respect, "It's a pity that he fell into a deep sleep and can't chat and play with us."
Hearing this, Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "He will also chat and play with you?"
"Of course I will!" the other party replied confidently with his hands on his hips, "I was hugged by Di Xiu when I was a child! He even sang me a lullaby!"
Before she could continue to ask questions, she suddenly saw a cloud of mist coming.
Seeing this, Tu Moxue couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master Mirage?"
As the other party's words fell, the cloud gradually condensed and took shape.
"Little Rabbit, long time no see~ Little girl, long time no see you too~" Mirage Xinghe still maintained a half-human and half-fog state, looking very strange.
Fortunately, Wen Jiu had already gotten used to it after these days of training. She just glanced at Mirage Xinghe and then looked away.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the other party had changed a little, and seemed to be less irrelevant.
Tu Moxue bowed respectfully, "Master Mirage, long time no see! I came here to make an oath with Master Wen in front of Emperor Xiu."
He explained his purpose to avoid any misunderstanding by Mirage Xinghe.
"Oh?" The other party suddenly flew in front of him, "Why don't you tell me why you made the oath?"
After hearing this, he looked at Wen Jiu first, and then briefly explained the whole story.
Fortunately, Mirage Galaxy did not suddenly convulse like last time. The other party just pondered for a moment and then floated in the direction of Di Xiu.
Upon seeing this, he knew that Mirage Xinghe agreed.
So he quickly grabbed Wen Jiu and ran towards Di Xiu.
But as they moved forward, the animals followed curiously, as if they were coming to watch the fun.
"Don't mind, these are ordinary cubs without intelligence," Tu Moxue thought for a while and explained to Wen Jiu in a low voice, "Although the cubs born to us monsters are all monsters. The second generation, but there are always some cubs who fail to inherit the talent of the demon race."
"Children like these will usually be eliminated by the demon clan, that is, they will be classified as ordinary animals without their demon status. Later, the Guhuoniao clan couldn't stand it anymore, so they took these cubs back to raise them."
"You also know that birds have to build nests to live in. Dixiu is a rare good-tempered wood spirit in the world, so the bird's nest is placed on Dixiu's head, and these cubs live nearby. Got off."
He explained in a low voice while walking forward, and unknowingly he reached the foot of Emperor Xiu.
Looking at the tall and erect Di Xiu, he couldn't help but have red eyes and a sore nose.
In the past, the Jade Rabbit Clan could rely on Dixiu, but now they must work hard to protect themselves, and even work hard to protect the entire Dixiu Valley.
Although he thinks there is nothing wrong with such a change, after all, the Jade Rabbit Clan really should learn to fight. If they continue to be weak, they will face destruction.
But he still hopes that Di Xiu can wake up soon. The other person is a memory that can never be erased in his heart, and he is also a supreme existence that cannot be replaced by any demon.
Wen Jiu looked at the towering trees in front of him, feeling a sense of awe.
Just when she wanted to bow to show respect, the mirage galaxy floated out of nowhere.
"Why do you look more familiar to me the more I look at you?" The other person swayed left and right like a wisp of smoke.
Hearing this, Tu Moxue shrugged helplessly, "Master Mirage, you just met her yesterday, of course she will look familiar."
He was used to Mirage Xinghe's intermittent amnesia, so he didn't find anything strange.
Unexpectedly, the other party landed in front of Wen Jiu, sniffing left and right like a slut.
"Master Mirage! Please keep a safe distance!" He quickly ran over to squeeze out of Mirage Galaxy, and opened his arms in a protective gesture, "No matter what, Master Wen is a girl, you can't offend her like this!"
After saying this, Mirage Xinghe raised his eyebrows with interest, and then floated towards Dixiu's tree branch.
After he found a comfortable seat and sat down, he cast his eyes on Wen Jiu, "Have I seen you before?"
"...Yes, we just met yesterday," the other party had a look of helplessness on his face, "Didn't you hear what Chief Rabbit said?"
When he heard this answer, he couldn't help but chuckle, "I have intermittent amnesia, but I'm not deaf. What I'm asking is, did the two of us meet before, a long, long time ago?"
To be honest, Wen Jiu was confused by Mirage Xinghe's question.
How could she have seen each other a long, long time ago? She had never been to Desolate Star a long, long time ago.
Wait, did she really never come?
Seeing that she had been frowning and not replying, Mirage Xinghe suddenly floated down from the tree branch and once again came close to her and sniffed around.
"It tastes exactly the same," the other person half-squinted his eyes as if he was remembering something, "it's light and sweet, like grapefruit."
Hearing this, Wen Jiu's brows almost knit together.
She first took a few steps back to distance herself, then raised her head to look at Mirage Xinghe and said, "Let me tell you the truth, in fact, I have also lost my memory."
