Fire and theft prevention

Water root?

"The water spirit root removed by the spirit washing grass?" Mu Qingjia said in amazement, "You still have the water spirit root? Still in Gaotu Mountain? No, the most important thing is, will it cause damage to the body if you suddenly take it back?"

"You have too many questions." Huo Wei raised his eyebrows.Although he reproached so much, the corners of his lips raised an arc.

"Then you answer one by one." Mu Qingjia pressed his shoulders, "You actually want to hide such an important matter from me, you really... deserve a beating!"

Huo Wei looked at his brother's anxious appearance with great interest, and said: "After cutting off the water spirit root, I kept it together with the master's sword and put it in the hub of the mountain guard formation. The hub is somewhere in the mountain .”

Mu Qingjia bit the corner of her lips and said, "If you take it back...will it be dangerous?"

"It's easy." Huo Wei said.

"Don't lie to me." Mu Qingjia raised his eyebrows and stared at him in warning.

"I didn't lie to you." Huo Wei said indifferently, "Returning to the dantian is risky. But with my current cultivation base and aura control, it's easy."

It turns out that this is what the junior brother has been trying to hide from him, return to the water spirit root?

"It's really crazy." Mu Qingjia felt a headache, rubbed his temples and said:

"How to use the Xiling Grassland has one or two records, but the spiritual roots that have been removed after returning to their positions are still spiritual roots with mutually restraining attributes. It is really unprecedented. No one knows what will happen—Awei, you What do you think?"

Huo Wei stared at him with mysterious eyes, and asked, "What do you think?"

Mu Qingjia was slightly startled, but saw Huo Wei took his hand and pressed it on the Heshi bracelet.

The Heshi bracelet is responsible for neutralizing and releasing the fire aura, and the fire aura that has nowhere to rest in the meridians will flow into it.Mu Qingjia could feel the hot fire aura rising up, and the soul-returning wood's natural fear of the fire of the butterfly.

When touching Huo Wei's body, he could never avoid the pain and fear.

But if the water spirit root is taken back and the fire spirit energy is suppressed again with the water spirit energy, this natural suppression will be weakened.

They can touch each other seamlessly.

Mu Qingjia probably understood what his junior brother was thinking.

His fingertips trembled, he restrained his instinct to avoid, squeezed the bracelet tightly with his backhand, and said seriously: "It's not necessary."

"The Heshi bracelet is a creation of Lelu. You met Lelu, and the Heshi bracelet is suitable for me. It was specially prepared for me by you." Huo Wei said decisively, "So, your love for Xiling The disadvantages after that are clear."

"So what?" Mu Qingjia bit her lips and said, "It's enough to have the Heshi bracelet. It won't cause a fire."

Before he finished speaking, a cluster of golden flames rose from his wooden fingernails.

"...It doesn't matter if it burns." Mu Qingjia painted the talisman to put out the fire, and added expressionlessly, "Anyway, it can be exchanged if it burns."

"Not enough." Huo Wei stared at him, "My emotions are still hard to control. And—"

He stretched out his hand, pulled Mu Qingjia's trembling fingertips from the heat and released the bracelet, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"When you regain your sense of touch, you will only be unable to bear my temperature even more."

"You think too much, Ah Wei..." Mu Qingjia still wanted to defend himself.

His expression was almost pleading. Huo Wei knew that his senior brother could laugh even when the world was falling apart, but when he faced him and couldn't convince him, he would fade his smile and show such a fragile look.

He has rejected such Mu Qingjia twice, and now it will be the third time.

The past two times were for hatred and power, but this time it will be for cherishing.

At this moment, the raging fire surging in Huo Wei's heart was stronger than the raging fire in Dantian.There is regret in it, and there is also the emotion that gradually settles down after a long period of ignorance.

He took Mu Qingjia's hand, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him closely.

"I want to always—use this posture to fill the rest of my life." He said in a deep voice, "There is no barrier, no grudge. Until the end."

When their chests touched, the flames burned from one heart to the other, and there were two sincere hearts beating opposite each other.

Although they don't use lovebirds, their hearts are connected at this moment.

"Awei..." Mu Qingjia softly called out to him.

Huo Wei waited for his decision.

"I respect your decision." Mu Qingjia finally raised his head and said firmly, "But when you retrieve the water spirit root, I must be by your side."

That pair of amber peach blossom eyes are rare serious, although not as soft as when smiling, but they do not have a power that shakes people's hearts.

Huo Wei's eyes widened slightly, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he lost all his language ability in an instant.

He stared blankly at those two light-colored soft lips, and slowly lowered his head.

"Awei?" Mu Qingjia suddenly heard a little distressed, "Why, don't you agree to this?"

He couldn't see the expression of his junior brother now, he just thought it was the other party's sluggishness and hesitation.

Huo Wei blinked, straightened his back quickly, then let go of the embrace reflexively, and took half a step back.

Those words were blurted out just now, and wanting to do something absurd was also impulsive.Now he is more awake, staring at those eyes, and looking back at what he did and said, he only felt reckless, his face turned red and turned white again.

Even though Mu Qingjia couldn't see his junior brother's face, he could still feel the rising flames in his dantian.

He just realized something, smiled and said: "Just now I said it with tenderness, but now I'm not... ashamed."

Huo Wei coughed lightly, and said indifferently: "You think too much."

Mu Qingjia snorted happily, but saw Huo Wei's ears twitch slightly, and turned to look at the silver laurel tree behind them.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit." Huo Wei said, "Come out."

From under the thick silver laurel tree surrounded by five people, a person slowly walked out.But the person who "eavesdropped" looked even more embarrassed than the one who had been smashed, with a fragmented expression on his face.

For a moment, Mu Qingjia thought that it was the junior sister, but when that person walked out, it was Gu Xiao who had gone and returned.

...It's a bit embarrassing for the younger generation.

The two elders were embarrassed at the same time, one pretended to tidy up his clothes, and the other touched the almighty Underworld Butterfly Sword, with a murderous expression on his face.

"Huo, Uncle Huo. And Uncle Mu." Gu Xiao struggled to put his expression back into ice cubes, "I, this junior didn't mean to hear, nor did I intend to disturb. This junior..."

Mu Qingjia forced herself to come out of the deadlock, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay. Huo Wei listens to you once, and you listen to him again, it's even."

Gu Xiao and Huo Wei looked at him together with cold eyes.

After Mu Qingjia finished speaking, he realized that the joke was not funny at all. He felt his scalp explode, and coughed a few times.

In the end, Gu Xiao regained his composure, as if nothing had happened, saluted respectfully, and said:

"The Grand Competition of the Immortal Alliance is coming, and because of the rumors about the two senior uncles, the master still needs to receive guests, so he can't get away for the time being, and the younger generation will welcome and serve him. Please forgive me, the two senior uncles."

He said it lightly, but after the news spread from the Fuyu Waterside Pavilion, the monks who came to the Immortal World of Kyushu for the resurrection of the soul-returning wood and the method of longevity did not know how many people there were.

And the ones who are under the public's criticism are their junior sisters and Shui Jingzhe, the head of the Lingao faction.

Even if the junior sister had resentment towards them, Mu Qingjia would not find it strange.

"Of course." He felt sad for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Your master may have suffered a lot in order to cover our eyes and ears.... I am really an incompetent senior brother."

Huo Wei shook his head lightly when he heard the words, and then said to Gu Xiao: "You don't need to serve, you just go and practice yourself."

After the scene just now, Gu Xiao knew that Huo Wei was telling the truth, so he handed the two of them a jade slip and said: "This jade slip contains the map of the current Lingao sect and the sign of the restricted area, and there are no disciples intruding on it. , the two masters can revisit the old place, rest and enjoy it."

"When did Mount Gaotu have a restricted zone?" Mu Qingjia was a little surprised.

"My master doesn't know something, but it belongs to the land of the mountain god Xingru." Gu Xiao frowned and said, "It is rumored that Xingru doesn't like outsiders to disturb him, and if he gets angry, he will eat... and hurt the lives of the disciples in the sect."

Mu Qingjia laughed when he heard the words: "He doesn't even bother to eat flowers that fall in the dust, so why would he eat people whose turbidity is not clear?"

"That's the best." Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that what Master said is true, and the masters will not conflict with Xing Ru."

He paused and then said: "This junior declares that he is closed to the outside world, and the rest of the sect will not go to this junior's residence. So if the masters have any needs, just go here and tell this junior."

After saying that, he exchanged greetings with Mu Qingjia, bowed and said goodbye.

Mu Qingjia secretly thought that this nephew was too knowledgeable, turned to Huo Wei and said with a smile: "Ah Wei, what's the next plan? Go get the water spirit root?"

Huo Wei shook his head, and said: "When the Immortal Devil Tribulated, the land moved and the mountains moved. The sword company and the water spirit root left by the master have long since disappeared. I still need to ask my junior sister myself."

Mu Qingjia browsed the large piece of uninhabited restricted area surrounded by ink on the jade slips, and said, "Then let's go..."

"Here." Huo Wei pointed to one of the pools.

The green shade on Mount Gaotu is probably because there are two springs in it, one is cold, named Qiangshui; the other is scorching hot, named Tushui.The two springs converge into two slightly larger lakes, which are embedded in the mountain like two tears. One name is Qinghu Lake and the other is Yanhu Lake. Both of them were created by the sword venerable. The training ground of Gen Jianxiu.

And the small pool that Huo Wei selected is the closest to the birthplace of Tushui. There are hot springs flowing all year round. It used to be a resort for the four brothers and sisters to rest and recuperate after being injured or tired.

"Soaking in... hot spring?" Mu Qingjia laughed a little tremblingly.

In the past, it was nothing to be honest with each other. Even when the younger sister couldn't take care of herself at the age of three, the two young boys helped her to take a bath together.It wasn't until Huo Wei was 14 years old that he realized that he was ashamed and no longer willing to bathe with his seniors.

However, after so many years and so many things, when it comes to bathing together in hot springs, I always feel...

Mu Qingjia took a peek at the junior brother who was bowing his head in silence, and then glanced at the erratic flames in his dantian, and immediately confirmed that his junior brother was thinking the same as him, and felt his face was burning hot.

"Forget it." Huo Wei said hurriedly, "You heard wrong."

"No, it's not." Mu Qingjia reflexively said, "We have been traveling all the way, and Ah Wei also has old injuries, so we should go to have a good rest."

Then carefully observed Huo Wei's flames, and added: "...Is that right?"

The author has something to say:

OOC Small Theater:

Gu Xiao (black under green, vicissitudes of life): If you ask me what regrets I have in my life, I regret why I participated in the private affairs of the two masters back then.They harp and sing, if there is something, it is your wish, so what does it matter to me?

And the problem of the junior sister: when the junior sister was sent by the family, she was very young (I will talk about it later), only about two or three years old, and she couldn't bathe herself at all.Of course, the master doesn't know how to bathe children, so he was raised by the two brothers as his own sister or even his own daughter since he was a child.

Even though Mu Qingjia was only ten years old at that time.
