destiny [ancient]

The Southern Wilderness is a vast desert, and its length and breadth are tens of thousands of miles. Most of the 72 tribes in the Southern Wilderness live along the Huai River, except for their guard bases.

Although Ji Hui figured out a safe place, she encountered huge troubles when building a house.

The small courtyard he built back then was, after all, located in the southern capital. Craftsmen and slaves could be found easily, and stone and good wood could also be exchanged for purchase.

Therefore, at that time, he only gave instructions, and other matters would naturally be taken over by someone.

now……

After knocking down three stone walls, Ji Hui decided to try with mud walls first.

An hour later...

Peacock crawled out of the mud, became angry rarely, and pointed his ass at Ah Hui.

Ji Hui looked at the muddy mud with some helplessness between her brows.

"The stone house is damp and the mud house is fragile, so why not build a wooden house." Ji Hui felt that her decision to build a two-bedroom house could be put on hold for now.

"That's about the same," Peacock looked at his muddy body and threw some of it on Ah Hui's body. Seeing that he was helpless and not angry, he hummed, "I want you to bathe me first."

Ji Hui looked at the pool of grass not far away, picked up the stupid bird, undressed and went into the water.

The two tossed in the water for half an hour before getting up from the water.

"The water is too cold." Peacock was a little regretful, and his passion was extinguished a lot.

"Shut up, if you don't build a house, let's sit in the open air today." Ji Hui and Peacock looked for wood separately.

Another hour passed...

The thick wooden boards cut into strips were evenly inserted into the ground at a distance of two meters. Peacock trimmed the top and began to build the beams.

But the beams keep rolling down.

The peacock thought about it for a long time, then turned into a sparrow and went to watch other houses, coming and going quickly, and finally the beam stopped rolling down after the wooden plank made a recess.

Both of them were very satisfied, and Ji Hui didn't even throw him away when the peacock kissed him, leaving saliva on his face.

Once the big frame is done, the rest is not difficult. The shingles can be easily made by both of them, it just takes time.

Soon, it got dark.

The peacock gave Ah Hui a surprise. He weaved a nest from the extra branches of the wood, and found a large group of birds, and filled the nest with feathers.

"Sleep here." The peacock proudly opened its tail and invited him into the nest.

Ji Hui stared at the huge bird's nest that was big enough for two people to roll over, and said in a low voice, "Put it in the room."

The peacock happily dragged the nest into the house.

In birds, this is the last step in courtship, and it is an important etiquette comparable to human marriage.

The next day, the two began to cut wooden tiles. Wooden tiles have always been difficult for craftsmen to cut out with dragon spar or bronze knives, so the price is expensive, but this is not a problem for the two of them. Peacocks also carved a lot of wood on each tile. The way Ah Hui and himself are lingering, thinking how cool it is to be able to look up at the results of their battles when they are in the nest with Ah Hui...

It's a pity that it was discovered, one third of the tail feathers were lost, the carved shingles were also confiscated, and they were driven to sleep on the tree at the door at night...

Big losses, lessons...none.

On the third day, the two worked together and finally built a small wooden house.

"It's a pity that it's not a stone house." Ji Hui was not very satisfied, but she still planned to go back and explain to her younger siblings, so she moved here.

"Ah Hui, why do you have to use stones to build your house?" Peacock couldn't understand, "Wood is airy and comfortable, and it's easy to build. Why not?"

"On the day you break the egg, there is fire in the wood. Hit and fire are incompatible. If you live in a wooden house, it is easy to catch fire." Ji Hui squeezed his claws, with a calm expression, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved up.

"You just said that you like it just because you are worried about the fire in the wooden house." After knowing that it was not because of the poor construction, the peacock instantly glowed, "Why do you have to be afraid of the fire? You and I, are you still afraid of the flames? Besides, I have been acquainted twice for a lifetime, and now we already understand architecture, and building another one is just a matter of convenience.”

"That's right." Ji Hui hugged the bird into his arms, "With you by my side, where can I not be home, I am too worried."

-

When she returned to Nandu's home, Ji Hui's expression turned cold.

His house was already surrounded by guards, and his younger sister Ji You was standing next to the third prince Ji Lan with a panicked expression.

Ji Hui inspected the little girl for a breath, and after confirming that he was fine, she stretched out her right hand, and before Ji Lan could say a word, the skirt of the clothes and herself were already in Ji Hui's hands.

"What are you doing here? Where is Ah Huan?" Ji Hui asked.

"I'll ask you that." The captured man threw out his right fist, wanting to swing it on Ji Hui's face. The violent force made a crackling sound in the air.

Ji Hui just pinched his collar and shook it slightly, her hair was full of secret energy. Like countless times before, there was a series of creepy crackling sounds, and the man in front of him collapsed to the ground with a painful expression on his face.

A guard behind him stepped forward and skillfully began to connect the staggered joints for him.

"Ayou, what happened?" Ji Hui turned to ask her sister.Before he left, he gave each of them a communication talisman. Whenever there was danger, as long as he thought of it, the talisman would generate itself, and he would feel it, but he hadn't felt it for the past two days.

"I don't know," Ji You bit her lip, almost crying, "Ah Huan said he has something very important to go out for a few days, so I don't want to tell you. Then I heard that Ganguan Something happened there, and Ji Zhen took people to check it out, but he never came back. Just now when Ji Lan came over, he said that the blood of the royal family was needed to open the gate, so I thought of Ah Huan..."

When she said "Qianguan", the peacock on Ah Hui's shoulder narrowed her eyes slightly...

In the realm of the ten directions, he almost surrendered his life last time before he broke through the "Gen Palace", one of the outermost nine palaces

It shouldn't be the Yaozu. After all, such a big event, the Yaozu knows, it is impossible not to ventilate themselves.

That is, the civil strife in the human race, and they used such important things as bargaining chips?

"Dry" is one of the gossip. Once it is broken, the enchantment of the entire Southern Wilderness will lose its effect, just like a hole in the bottom of a wooden barrel will make it difficult to hold water.

The boundary of the ten directions will retreat to the north of the Huai River, and my monster race will not be able to decline in the level of the human race in the southern barren land... What a great opportunity.

After Ji Hui heard what happened, she remained silent, but she flicked her finger on the astrolabe.

A drop of blood flows out, and the blood veins pull, pointing out the direction on the plate.

Ah Huan, it is indeed in the direction of Qianguan.

"Ji Hui!" The third prince who fell on the ground sat up with difficulty, with a gloomy expression, but he still held back the humiliation and said, "It was my fault that I humiliated you so much back then. I can cut off my hands now to let you vent your anger. As long as you go to Ganguan to save my elder brother. The formation has been activated there, I can’t wait for the number of spells, only you know how to break the formation. Although I am sorry for you, my elder brother has never been sorry to you. Back then your mother was sick and sick , if it wasn't for the eldest brother to help you find the medicine, how could your mother live for so many years?"

"Noisy!" Ji Hui picked up the astrolabe, turned around and went out immediately, "Tu Qin, help me take care of my little sister, I'll come back as soon as I go."

"I understand." The peacock immediately flew up from his shoulder and landed on Ji You, but he couldn't help but say, "Go and come back."

"I know." Ji Hui's figure had disappeared into the void.

The peacock's eyes dimmed.
