Thousand Autumns

Chapter [-] The Huo Family Arrives

After Zhang Qiling brought Wu Xie back to the room, he dug out the bruises from Wu Xie's room and helped Wu Xie rub the strangle marks on his ankle.Sitting on the bed, Wu Xie supported his chin with both hands and watched Zhang Qiling rubbing his left foot seriously. He asked curiously

"Brother? What is a tree spirit body? Why did that tree demon go crazy like that because I am that wood spirit body?"

"The wood spirit body is a rare and special physique, also known as the five elements to the wood spirit body. People with this physique can absorb the wood spirit energy emitted by plants and transform it into their own spiritual power. In turn, through this Plants absorb the wood aura transformed by a person with a physique, and it will be of great benefit to the plants. This is a perfect mutual assistance relationship in a virtuous circle. The most important thing is that a person with this physique has an amazing self-healing ability. So, during that time, whenever your body felt uncomfortable, the plants in your home would undergo great changes. Then you were injured so badly by that mysterious corpse, and you were able to heal quickly, all because you were The reason for the five elements to the wood spirit body."

Zhang Qiling didn't tell Wu Xie that the most important thing was that Wu Xie had completely merged with the Companion Demon Grass, and that Companion Demon Grass was the key to all of this.However, the Companion Demon Grass has been the dream of many demon spirits and even some immortal cultivators since ancient times, and, as time goes by, some ordinary humans who are familiar with the secrets of the demon world have also begun to know the existence of the Companion Demon Grass. Grass is not only of great use to demon spirits and immortal cultivators, but also has unexpected benefits to ordinary people.

Wu Xie has always been simple-minded, if you tell him that there is such a heaven-defying existence in his body, he is not sure when he will be tricked by others.Once the news of the Companion Demon Grass reappearing spread, Zhang Qi thought about the headaches of those evil spirits who wanted to get the Companion Demon Grass and approached Wu Xie one after another, so it was better not to tell him.

Wu Xie's eyes lit up after hearing Zhang Qiling's words, and he happily asked

"Brother! Is what you said true! Then when I practice in the future, I just need to sit in a place with dense plants! It's just like cheating!"

"Well, the other foot."

Wu Xie gave Zhang Qiling another foot and continued to ask

"But it's not right! Brother, you said that this kind of physique has the ability to heal itself. Why is it that every time I get so miserable by you, I don't see him getting better the next day?!"

Wu Xie accused Zhang Qiling with a reddish face, but Zhang Qiling said without raising his head.

"That's because, subconsciously, you don't feel that it's a threat to you. You...don't resist yourself, so the ability to heal yourself won't appear."

"..."

Wu Xie's face became hot for a while, he pulled back his feet to prevent Zhang Qiling's suddenly hot hands from continuing to massage himself, Zhang Qiling looked up at Wu Xie and continued

"Last time you were injured by that mysterious corpse and Qi Yu, didn't you recover quickly? That's because of your special physique. But..."

"But what?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, curious about what he was going to tell him again, Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie's curious expression, suddenly he was in a good mood, he leaned in front of Wu Xie, Wu Xie shrank back in embarrassment, Zhang Qiling followed him up again, Wu Xie didn't press firmly, and lay down on the bed, Zhang Qiling knelt on Wu Xie's side, looked at Wu Xie in the air and said

"However, in fact, I was also curious about why you didn't heal quickly after being injured by me. After thinking about it, I realized that maybe you didn't think it was hurting you at all, and you didn't think about it at all. Over resistance, and very cooperative, so..."

"To shut up!"

Wu Xie interrupted Zhang Qiling's words in embarrassment, Zhang Qiling smiled faintly, leaned over and kissed Wu Xie's face lightly, Wu Xie froze for a moment, turned his body sideways to avoid Zhang Qiling's Burning eyes.Zhang Qiling lay on his side opposite Wu Xie, he propped his head with one hand, looked at Wu Xie and said

"Wu Xie, you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"You can't just tell others that you are a tree spirit body. Your physique is very useful to monsters, humans, and even cultivators. I'm afraid that some evil spirits with bad intentions will know about you. The specialness of the body will make you think, and when you meet those special powerful beings, they will eat you in one bite, and you will not know how to resist."

"Fuck me? Didn't I become a Tang monk?! Anyone who sees me wants to eat me!"

"Well. That's what it means. So, you are not allowed to talk about your special physique everywhere."

Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie seriously, Wu Xie curled his lips and nodded and said

"Well, I see."

Hearing Wu Xie's serious answer, Zhang Qiling nodded reassuringly. He put down the hand supporting his head, reached behind Wu Xie's neck, pulled Wu Xie into his arms and closed his eyes.Wu Xie leaned against Zhang Qiling's chest for a while, and suddenly asked

"Brother, have you ever thought about eating me? It should be good for you if you eat me, right?"

"Oh~"

Zhang Qiling gave a short laugh, Wu Xie raised his head to look at Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling still had his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, he hugged Wu Xie into his arms and said,

"I thought about it, but I ate it in one bite. I'm afraid you can't bear it. So every time I eat it several times."

"..."

This time, Wu Xie's face turned dark, and Zhang Qiling knew that this was not what he was asking, so he kicked Zhang Qiling, turned his back and didn't want to talk to Zhang Qiling.Zhang Qiling pulled the quilt over the two of them and hugged Wu Xie from behind.Wu Xie snorted coldly, but obediently leaned into Zhang Qiling's arms.

Early the next morning, before Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling woke up, Wu Sanxing came and knocked on Wu Xie's door. Wu Xie impatiently grabbed the quilt and covered his head.Zhang Qiling slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Wu Xie who had covered himself tightly, took the clothes at the bedside, put them on casually, and went to open the door.

"Eldest nephew! Eldest nephew! Are you awake? Get up soon, I have something to do with you! Eldest nephew! Big...Zhang...Brother Zhang! Why...why is it you?"

Wu Sansheng, who was knocking on the door, was taken aback by Zhang Qiling who suddenly opened the door and stood inside. Zhang Qiling was still buttoning his shirt. Wu Sansheng accidentally saw the unicorn tattoo on Zhang Qiling's chest, but he just After taking a glance, he didn't dare to look any further, he looked at Zhang Qiling a little restrained and asked

"Brother Zhang? Why are you here to open the door? Where's Wu Xie?"

"Still sleeping."

"Why are you still sleeping?"

"I was hung up and thrown by that willow tree demon a few times last night. I'm a little tired. What's the matter?"

"I... I actually wanted to ask him something, but since you are here, I should be more sure about it."

“…”

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, nor did he intend to let Wu Sansheng go in and sit down to talk, but just looked at Wu Sansheng indifferently, Wu Sansheng stood outside the door awkwardly and continued talking

"Last night... I heard the willow tree demon shouting before he died, Wu Xie is the 'spiritual body of the most wood', I want to ask you, he...he is really the legendary five elements to wood Spirit body?"

"Ah."

Zhang Qiling hummed lightly. Hearing Zhang Qiling's confirmation, Wu Sansheng was so excited that he almost rushed into the room to check Wu Xie's physical condition himself, but at least he was still clear-headed. He looked at Zhang Qiling excitedly.

"Zhang... Brother Zhang? Are you really sure that Wu Xie has this kind of physique?"

"Ah."

"Then... after Wu Xie... will he be able to achieve the legendary practice of using vegetation as a medium to directly absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the vegetation and turn it into his own spiritual power in the cultivation of spiritual arts?"

"Ah."

Still cherishing words like gold, Zhang Qiling didn't want to say a word at all, he hadn't woken up yet, yet he had to stand here for a long time and listen to Wu Sansheng say some irrelevant things here.

"Great! With this almost cheating cultivation method, Wu Xie will be able to completely master some secret skills passed down from ancient times by the Wu family in the future. Our Wu family..."

"The fact that Wu Xie is the most wood spirit body cannot be leaked out."

Zhang Qiling's faint words extinguished Wu Sansheng's high emotions, he looked at Zhang Qiling blankly, wondering why Zhang Qiling would say such a thing.Zhang Qiling straightened his shirt buttons, looked at Wu Sansheng and said

"You Wu family has been exorcising demons for generations. You should know that the wood spirit body is very attractive to some monsters, especially the monsters of plants and trees. If Wu Xie's wood spirit body is leaked, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be those who want to do it for you." It will be very troublesome if monsters who have obtained his pure wood spirit power come to him."

Hearing what Zhang Qiling said, Wu Sanxing immediately realized, he nodded repeatedly and said

"Yes, yes! I was only thinking about the benefits of Wu Xie's physique to him, and I almost forgot about it. Fortunately, Brother Zhang, you reminded me. Now that I have confirmed that Wu Xie has this physique, I will tell my second brother , Let him remind everyone present last night that Wu Xie must not leak the fact that Wu Xie is the most wood spirit body!"

"Ah."

"Then...you...you first...I'll send someone to call you and Wu Xie after breakfast later."

Wu Sanxing really couldn't say that Zhang Qiling should go back to sleep again, because Wu Xie was sleeping there, two big men, and it sounded awkward to him to call Zhang Qiling back to sleep again.The two were silent for a while, Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Sansheng and then turned back to the room, Wu Sansheng hurriedly turned and left Wu Xie's yard to find Wu Erbai.

When Zhang Qiling returned to the house, he was going to lie down on the bed and sleep for a while, but Wu Xie woke up unexpectedly. He looked at Zhang Qiling and said

"Brother? Did my third uncle come to wake us up?"

"Ah."

"Then let's get up, or later he will say that I am still sleeping late at my age."

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling nodded, and helped Wu Xie take his clothes from the bedside table and handed them to him. Wu Xie took the clothes and put them on and got up. He took Zhang Qiling to the bathroom behind his yard to wash up, and the two went together The lobby is up.

Wu Sansheng went to Wu Erbai's yard but didn't see Wu Erbai. The servants in Wu Erbai's yard told Wu Sansheng that people from the Huo family had arrived, and Wu Erbai took Pan Zi to the front yard to pick up the guests. After Wu Sansheng heard this, he hurried to the front yard.

Mrs. Huo, the head of the Huo family, brought Huo Xiuxiu and others to the Wu family's land, preparing to participate in the evening sacrificial ceremony.Mrs. Huo kept saying enviously that the Wu family had a promising descendant who was able to summon the Wu family's guardian animal. The Wu family was destined to be proud in the world of exorcism.When everyone sat in the hall, Mrs. Huo looked around, as if she was looking for someone, but she turned her head disappointed. She looked at Wu Erbai who was sitting beside her and asked:

"Why don't you see that young master of your family? It's amazing to be able to summon the Suzaku mythical beast. Even this year, he's about the same age as our Xiuxiu, right? Are you dating someone?"

"puff."

The first half of Mrs. Huo's sentence made Wu Erbai very happy, but the second half of the sentence made Wu Erbai spit out the tea out of his mouth.Mrs. Huo looked at Wu Erbai sullenly, was there anything wrong with what she just said?Why is the head of the dignified Wu family reacting like this?It's so unfashionable.Huo Xiuxiu who was standing aside covered her mouth and laughed

"Grandma, Brother Wu Xie has someone he likes. Don't keep thinking about finding someone for me. It's not like your granddaughter can't get married."

"You girl."

Mrs. Huo dotingly accused Huo Xiuxiu, then turned to look at Wu Erbai who had already wiped off the tea from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and continued to ask:

"Why doesn't your young master come out to meet the guests? Are you afraid that summoning the Suzaku beast at night will consume too much energy and you are resting?"

"Just kidding, I guess he's still sleeping in. I'll ask someone to wake him up to see the guests. It's really rude, the host is still sleeping when the guests come early in the morning."

"No way, we came too early. By the way, has Yuchen come here already? I heard from Lianhuan that Yuchen came to watch the ceremony as a representative when they explained the house?"

"Well, Yuchen and Xiaoxie came back together. They both have the same virtues, so they probably haven't woken up yet."

"Young man, it's okay to sleep a little longer. They are usually so busy. Our Xiuxiu is usually at home and I have to remind her a few times before getting up."

"Grandma, how can you say that your granddaughter is lying in bed in front of others like this?"

"What other people, your Second Uncle Wu is not an outsider."

"Second uncle, what about my third uncle, he came to my room to look for me just now, why is he gone now?"

Everyone was talking, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling walked in from the door, Wu Xie looked at the outsiders in the hall in embarrassment, and wanted to leave, who knew Mrs. Huo saw him coming in, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Just as I was talking, the man came, still as handsome as before, Wu Xie, come, come, grandma, come and have a look."

"Xiaoxie, hurry up and meet Mrs. Huo."

Wu Xie cautiously walked up to Mrs. Huo and called Grandma Huo. Mrs. Huo looked at Wu Xie, murmured something in a low voice, "It's a pity that there is someone I like", she sighed and turned her head to continue. Talking to Wu Erbai, who would have thought that she saw Zhang Qiling who had been following Wu Xie with his face paralyzed and silent. Mrs. Huo's eyes lit up and asked Wu Erbai

"Who is this? He looks even more talented, with a calm demeanor. Are you talking about someone?"

"puff."

Wu Erbai, who just took another sip of water, spit out again, holding the teacup, he glanced at Mrs. Huo, then at Zhang Qiling, completely at a loss as to how to strike up a conversation.Wu Xie blushed and looked at Mrs. Huo, and finally knew what she meant by the phrase "It's a pity that I have someone I like" just now. Is she here to see her grandson-in-law?Somebody told her that she has someone she likes and cut off her thoughts, and now she fell in love with Zhang Qiling again.Wu Xie's temples were throbbing crazily. If Mrs. Huo knew that Zhang Qiling also had someone he liked, and that person was still Wu Xie, she wondered if she would be fainted by fright.At that time, the head of the Huo family came to participate in the Wu family ceremony, but they were frightened and fainted, and they didn't know how to explain it to others when it spread.Huo Xiuxiu who was on the side was afraid that her grandma would continue to ask about something, so she interrupted Mrs. Huo

"Hey! Grandma! Are you telling people everywhere that your granddaughter can't get married? This person also has a crush, you! Don't inquire about it."

"Look, look, the two big boys already have someone they like, and you, a girl, are still not sure, how can I not worry about it. If you don't find someone as outstanding as you, They were all snatched away."

"Second...Second Uncle, I'll go find my Third Uncle. Grandma Huo, I...I'll leave first. "

The corners of Wu Xie's face and mouth began to twitch uncontrollably. He stood up and wanted to leave, but he was so nervous that he tripped over the corner of the table and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Qiling hugged his waist, and Wu Xie panicked. He took Zhang Qiling's hand and prepared to run out of the hall in embarrassment.

"Hey! Brother Wu Xie, next, Fatty asked me to bring you a gift, saying that it is thank you for your help last time."

Huo Xiuxiu suddenly stopped Wu Xie from behind, and threw something to Wu Xie, Wu Xie subconsciously reached out to take it, it was a delicate candy box, Wu Xie wondered how the fat man sent himself this?Such a small box was not enough for him to eat, but he still put it in his pocket, thanked Huo Xiuxiu and pulled Zhang Qiling out of the hall.

"This kid is still clinging to his third uncle just like when he was a child."

"Oh... yes, yes."

Wu Erbai nodded in embarrassment and agreed. It wasn't until Mrs. Huo asked about the situation of the Suzaku mythical beast that Wu Erbai returned to normal and told some information about Suzaku.
