little spicy jiao

In the depths of the dense forest, the long daylight is blocked by layers of leaves, and the eerie silence spreads slowly like flowing water, even the usual birdsong and rustling of leaves disappear without a trace.

When Dugu Jiu and Shen Siyuan tried their best to find Mo Jiaojiao's figure in the secret world of Senhai outside the dream, the unconscious child fell into a dream again, returning to the time when he was just three years old.

At this moment, under a tall plantain tree, Mo Jiaojiao, a chubby boy in a thick red robe, was sitting foolishly on a large green leaf, holding a bright red rattle in his hand.

He first blinked his round and bright black eyes ignorantly, looked around slowly, then lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the tender white arms like lotus root joints and the fleshy dimples on the back of his hands, and kicked again. Kicking her little feet, tilting her head in a daze, she opened her mouth and let out an "ah".

But no sound came out.

The child widened his eyes in fear, raised his hand to touch his throat, opened his mouth again, and called out silently: "Jiujiu."

After discovering that he was really unable to speak and his body became smaller, the child flattened his mouth in frustration, and his big eyes soon turned red.

However, he didn't cry either, he just pulled up the little red cap on his robe and put it on his head in aggrieved manner, shook the rattle again, pursed his mouth, and awkwardly climbed up from the leaves.

It was dark green as far as the eyes could see, Mo Jiaojiao stood quietly against the tree trunk holding the rattle, lowered his head to touch his neck, but he did not find the Buddhist beads given to him by the ancestor Hong Ming, nor the whistle given to him by Dugu Jiu After He Tingfeng, only the longevity lock that he wears all year round is left.

He stroked the delicate and cool longevity lock, then groped his wrist, but couldn't find the familiar storage bracelet, and then groped his waist, but couldn't find the storage pouch containing the rhubarb and dagger, but luckily the Chaotian pepper jade pendant was still there.

Holding the jade pendant, the child heaved a sigh of relief, looked up at the extremely familiar forest, and muttered silently: "Why did Jiao Jiao come to Jieli again? Jiujiu disappeared..."

Mo Jiaojiao held the rattle hesitantly, and took a few steps forward timidly, but quickly backed away, his round eyes fixed on the nearby trees.

After a while, the woods were still silent, so he took a deep breath, patted his small chest childishly, and said silently as if comforting himself: "Jiao Jiao, don't be afraid. The trees are not moving, unlike dreams, there will be no The dryad came to beat me."

After repeating the two sentences several times, Mo Jiaojiao finally calmed down.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, spread out the palm of his left hand, closed his eyes, slowly mobilized the few demon powers in his body, merged with the sky fire, and slowly condensed three small green cherry peppers in his palm, then opened his eyes , stuffed the cherry pepper into the pocket on the robe, patted and said:

"If you have chili peppers, you won't be taken away. Jiao Jiao will definitely beat them. Then...then find Jiujiu to heal your throat, yes."

As he said that, the child finally looked around, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he held a green pepper in one hand and a rattle in the other, with his crooked fingers sticking to his stomach, and walked crookedly. Slowly walk in the opposite direction to the woods.

It was not easy for him to walk, he stumbled and kicked tree roots floating on the ground from time to time, he tripped twice along the way, his knees hurt, but he didn't cry, he just got up obediently , Slap off the fallen leaves sticking to the body, continue to move forward firmly.

I don't know how long it took to walk, until Mo Jiaojiao's legs were so weak that he couldn't lift it up, and he finally reached the edge of the forest safe and sound.

This place is completely different from the lush and dense forest. There are plants blooming with various flowers everywhere, and there are even butterflies fluttering gently on some brightly colored flowers.

Mo Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, he stood aside and watched carefully for a while, then walked through the dense flowers without hesitation, and walked to the edge of a spiritual grass with pink flowers in the front left.

He first put the cherry pepper in his hand into his pocket, then silently picked off one of the pink flowers in front of him, brought it to his mouth, took a few bites of the petals, and ate the flower. Bowed at the spirit grass, took a step back, and said silently: "I'm sorry, Jiao Jiao didn't mean to eat your flowers, but I'm afraid of being caught, eating this will make me stronger."

After speaking, the child turned around and walked out of the woods through the flowers.

Just like in the dream in memory, there is an endless snowfield beyond the dense forest.

Mo Jiaojiao stared blankly at the flying snow falling in the air for a while, and suddenly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, rubbing the already red eye sockets into redness, then put down his hands, took steps carefully, and walked away. Into the vast snow.

***

On the other side, Dugu Jiushang, who had an insight into the law of the passage of time in the secret realm, stopped walking, stopped at the edge of the forest, slowly closed his eyes in the silence, and listened for a while.

After a while, the man opened his eyes, glanced indifferently at the spiritual grass all over the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Jiaojiao is calling me."

"Really?" Shen Siyuan hurriedly stopped when he heard the words, turned around and asked, "Can you determine the direction from which the voice came from? Logically, there is a gap between the secret realm and the dream realm, so where the anxious voice comes from, It should be the entrance of the dream."

"It's in the depths of the dense forest." Dugu Jiu frowned and thought for a moment, then flew towards the previous position with one step.

Shen Siyuan followed closely behind, and the two soon came to the edge of the deep pit.

However, unexpectedly, all the broken tree roots in the mud pit disappeared without a trace, replaced by a dark green slender figure.

At first glance, the figure looks like a human boy, but when he gets closer, he finds that the boy's lower body is not legs, but twisted tree roots.

Dugu Jiu glanced indifferently at the silver-haired young man, flipped his palm, and casually released the Biehe Sword, which was bursting with sword intent.

In the blink of an eye, the dazzling sword light pierced through the condensed enchantment of monster power, and cut off a strand of white hair from the young man with lightning speed, hanging on the white neck.

The young man seemed to be very surprised by the clanging spirit sword beside him. He turned his head and glanced at the Biehe sword that was threatening him, and then looked up at the solemn black-clothed sword fairy. A faint smile came.

He moved the roots of the tree and walked a few steps in the deep pit. He looked up at the condescending man, and then at the surprised young man beside him, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect to see you here. Long time no see, Chongrong, Shen Siyuan."

"You..." Shen Siyuan's hanging hand trembled for a moment, then clenched tightly. He stared at the young man, and asked in a daze, "The locust tree demon?"

Unexpectedly, the young man rolled his eyes in displeasure when he heard the words, and said: "Shen Siyuan, I have a name, Huai Mo, don't call me the locust tree demon locust tree demon every day, I am one of the top elders in Yinshen Valley anyway, What's the difference between calling me that and calling me a normal little monster?"

"It's really you." Shen Siyuan rubbed his face dumbfounded, and said, "We originally guessed whether you had left the Senhai Secret Realm, but we didn't expect you to still be here."

"I am resurrected here, so naturally I want to stay here." The white-haired young man smiled, and was about to continue talking, but saw the spirit sword hanging by his neck flying away from him, and at the same time, a deep and melodious male voice followed It sounded, with heavy coercion.

"Acacia tree, do you know where Jiaojiao is?"

The locust tree demon put away his smile when he heard the sound, looked at Dugu Jiu with a stern face, and said seriously: "I know where Jiao Jiao is going. He is in the dream at this moment. However, I can't find him in my dream. Chong Rong, since you and Shen Siyuan are here, can I guess that Guzhu's plan has come true? You came here together to understand the secret realm of Fengsenhai?"

"You can say that." Dugu Jiu nodded slightly, and said: "I will follow your substitute into the secret realm, firstly to unlock the secret realm, secondly, Jiaojiao has been looking for you."

"It's no wonder that I heard the call of my people that day. It turns out that the law of resurrection has really taken effect." The locust tree demon nodded a little funny, then took a few steps back, leaned over and bowed to the two, and said solemnly:

"On behalf of the entire Hidden God Valley family, I would like to thank you for doing your best to help the Yaozu complete the plan... It is really not easy to break through the trap set by the Valley Master and accompany Jiao Jiao to the secret realm."

"What to say and do, this is our obligation." Shen Siyuan waved his hand, and said: "Jiao Jiao is trapped in a dream now, can we really not go in to find him? Time stops here Fifteen years ago, Jiao Jiao was three years old at the time, and we were worried that he would experience what happened in his dream again."

"This... there is no way for the time being." The smile on the locust tree monster's face disappeared completely, and he shook his head heavily. He was obviously extremely worried, and he was uncontrollably curling his falling white hair tightly around his fingertips, and closed his eyes. Close your eyes and say:

"Jiaojiao's dream, I already know from the double. To be honest, those doubles... We didn't expect the method of resurrection to have such a bad effect. Back then, Guzhu only knew that this method could help us resurrect, so that Protect Jiao Jiao again and walk safely all the way, who would have thought that...

However, fortunately, this time I found the trace of the substitute in time, so when Jiao Jiao fell into a dream, I put a restriction here to seal all the tree demons that survived in the dream, so Jiao Jiao should be in no danger now. "

"You mean, you can indirectly control the tree demon in the dream?" Dugu Jiu frowned sharply, and what he said hit the nail on the head.

"Exactly. Because the leader of the Senhai Secret Realm is me. Although this place is divided into two spaces because of the existence of a double, namely the anxious dream and the reality we are in, the dream also belongs to the Senhai Secret Realm, so since After I wake up, the control of both sides will completely return to my hands."

The locust tree demon slowly chanted a spell as he spoke, and a huge green glowing magic circle immediately appeared under his feet.

He raised his finger and pointed at the formation, and said: "Chongrong, you should recognize this formation, the Slaughtering Blade, you taught me how to set it up back then. The double was afraid of my existence, and tried to sneak attack when I just woke up I took the place, but was almost killed by me. Afterwards, I fell into a deep sleep due to lack of strength, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the secret realm.

Thinking about it now, he should have gone out to catch Jiao Jiao. After all, only when Jiao Jiao comes here, the dream will reappear. He is now huddled in the dream, lingering on his last breath, and I have controlled those tree demons again. I think it is temporarily impossible to harm Jiao again. burnt.You can rest assured. "

Hearing the words, Shen Siyuan quickly changed the Tun Chu Sword into Mo Jiaojiao being brought into the secret realm, and said: "Then Huai Mo hid in the dream, and Jiao Jiao is also in it. If he finds that Tun Chu Sword is not Really Mo Jiaojiao, isn't Jiaojiao in danger?"

"Tun Chu is the same as Bie He, and has returned to the appearance of 15 years ago." Dugu Jiu said in a deep voice: "The substitute should have discovered Tun Chu's identity."

"It's hard to be sure." The locust tree demon twitched his hair heavily with his fingertips, raised his eyes and said: "I still have one thing that I don't understand. Because, in fact, the monster clan in the forest sea secret realm... In other words, the tree demons were all sealed here when the continent was divided, otherwise, there would be no need for Jiao Jiao to unseal the secret realm.

The strange thing is that the tree demon has been sealed all the time, but there are a bunch of identical tree demons in the burning dream... And I can be sure that they are not substitutes. The only tree demon who used the resurrection method back then was me one.So, where did the dryad that hurt Jiao Jiao come from?Chong Rong, maybe only you know. "

"En." Dugu Jiu replied in a low voice, staring down at the magic circle, his brows and eyes were as cold as frost, and said firmly: "All evildoers stem from the malice of the substitute and the fear of Jiaojiao."

When the dreamer is an innocent child with no power to protect himself, the endless nightmare will only intensify instead of pity.

Then only the fearless can break all illusions.

"This seat has already mastered the method of entering a dream. Waiting for Jiaojiao to call this seat again is the best time to enter a dream."
