On the Correct Eating Posture of Jindan

Jin Zhen was silent for a while, and finally said: "Although the five of us have settled in the Devil's Realm, the scene of the Zhuolu War will never be forgotten. In the first few hundred years, I once wanted to return to the mortal world to give The idea of ​​their revenge, I built a palace in the devil world, put the weapons of Xingtian and the others inside, and painted the scene of their death in a mural, just to remind myself not to forget this pain. That period During the days, I often sat there and meditated, recalling the scenes of the year, and recalling the moments when the brothers were together. Until one day, I suddenly thought of something. The night before the Zhuolu War, I went to Chi You While discussing things, when I passed by Houqing’s camp, I saw two figures in his tent. Judging from their figures and sounds, they should be Houqing and Kuafu who had just returned from the pass. When I came out of Chiyou’s At that time, I saw Hou Qing outside the tent. He seemed to have just come back from the outside, and his expression was a little strange. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but that day when I was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I didn't know why a flash of light flashed in my mind. The war is imminent, but Hou Qing left the barracks at night, which is really against common sense."

Xiao Jiu raised her head in surprise, looked at Jin Zhen and said, "Do you suspect that it was Hou Qing who tipped off Huang Di's party that night?"

Jin Zhen was silent for a while, then nodded, and said:

"At first I just had such an idea, but then the more I thought about it, the more suspicious it became. The whereabouts of the Xingtian team must have been leaked, but only ten of our brothers knew about it. The abnormal situation, I suspect more and more that there is something wrong with him."

Xiao Jiu's eyes widened, and he asked, "So you went to the mortal world to find him?"

Jin Zhen nodded: "I want to ask whether he betrayed us back then."

The little prince was in a complicated mood, and there was a hint of distress in his bitterness. He never thought that Jin Zhen's purpose in looking for Hou Qing would be like this.He thought for a while and asked, "Do other people know about your suspicion?"

Jin Zhen shook his head and said, "At first it was just my suspicion, and I didn't tell Fei Lian and the others. After waking up Houqing, I don't want to mention this matter again."

Xiao Jiu felt his head was full of black lines, and said, "So you have been reincarnated for thousands of years, and you went to him without doing business, just to ask him such a question, and there was no more after the question? The two of you were together that day. You have been eye-to-eye in Qingyuan Cave for so long, did you just ask this sentence? Did he betray you?"

Jin Zhen looked into Xiao Jiu's eyes and said, "Houqing told me that he went to see Houtu that night, and Houtu called him out under the pretext that the nanny who raised Houqing was critically ill. After visiting the nanny, the woman had obvious chest injuries and fell into a coma. According to Hou Tu, her heart and lungs were injured by a wild beast. Hou Qing stayed for about half an hour, and then returned to the camp. Any information about the next day's battle, when I saw him, he just came back, and he told me that he didn't see any other brothers except me that night. That is, I passed by his camp earlier Of the two figures I saw at the time, one of them was indeed Kuafu, but the other was not Houqing. Gou Chen from the Yellow Emperor's side was good at changing his appearance. Yin Ling once told me that when he escaped into the Yellow Emperor's camp, He was captured by Gouchen Dizang. At that time, Gouchen mentioned the word Wuhouguan. These three words were exactly the pass opened by Gonggong and Kuafu. The name Wuhouguan was deployed by Chi You. It was taken randomly at the time, only a few people knew that, after contacting all kinds of signs before and after, it should be that Hou Tu transferred Hou Qing out of the camp that night, and then hooked up the fake Hou Qing to sneak into the camp, just in time to meet the person who just came back. Kuafu, I got the news of opening the pass from Kuafu."

The little prince was stunned, opened his mouth slightly, stared blankly at Jin Zhen, and after a while, said:

"how could this be……"

Jin Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head: "Hou Qing didn't intend to betray us, but when the enemy was in front of him, he acted emotionally, even if it wasn't his subjective actions, but his negligence caused fatal consequences, Zhuolu Not to mention the outcome of the great battle, after all, even if our plan is successful, the outcome will be unpredictable if the situation on the battlefield changes suddenly, but Xing Tian's death was indeed caused by him."

The little prince had mixed feelings. He had many brothers, and he had a very good relationship with them. He could feel that the relationship between the ten demon gods that Jin Zhen talked about was just like the relationship between himself and his brothers.I am lucky, the princes of the Dragon Palace are very good friends, although occasionally there will be friction and fights, but they are forgotten when they wake up, they are still good brothers who love each other.Now is the era of peace in the Three Realms, and there are few wars, so the dragon sons will not face the situation of life and death.Xiao Jiu felt that it was hard for him to imagine seeing his brothers injured or killed in battle. He nestled in Jin Zhen's arms, thinking of the tragic scene during the Zhuolu War, thinking of Jin Zhen watching his good brothers die tragically one by one In front of his eyes, the little prince felt that his heart was going to die of pain.

And in comparison, Houqing's incident is even more disturbing.Xiaojiu's heart suddenly surged with heat, he sat up straight, stretched out his hand to touch Jin Zhen's face, his expression was serious, his eyes were full of kindness, and he said seriously:

"Jin Jin, you have suffered all these years. Although you have lost a few good brothers, don't forget that you still have me. I will love you very much. I will take care of you wholeheartedly instead of Chi You and the others. Well, I will try my best to love you, and strive for more love than the sum of the few of them, so don't be sad anymore."

Looking at the loving eyes of the person in his arms, and hearing this touching and shocking confession of true feelings, Jin Zhen's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, he lowered his head, and silently hugged Xiao Jiu tightly in his arms , whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Jiu, thank you. It's great to meet you in the mortal world."

The two embraced affectionately. At this moment, there was no longer any gap between the two hearts. Instead, the affectionate bond of caring for and cherishing each other was replaced.

After the collision of souls, the two resisted the urge to collide physically and continued to return to the previous topic.

Xiao Jiu blushed, thought for a while, and asked:

"Jin Jin, how do you plan to deal with the matter of the Empress Dowager in the future?" The little prince's eyes showed deep worry and melancholy, but he completely lost the previous jealousy. After listening to Jin Zhen's narration, he had already Just ignore the fact that Houqing is still a hidden love rival. In his simple mind, as long as Jin Zhen doesn't like other people, that's enough. Care more, on the contrary, there is a strange sense of glory bursting out...

Therefore, there was no trace of sourness in Xiao Jiu's words, and Jin Zhen said:

"As I said before, I will not mention this matter again in the future."

Xiao Jiu tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "But, don't you have a good relationship between the demon king brothers? This matter is very important, is it really good to hide it from them like this?"

Jin Zhen smiled, but the light in his eyes was mixed with a trace of pain. He said slowly:

"The failure of the Zhuolu War is a wound that will never die in the hearts of all of us. The corpses of Xingtian and Kuafu were extremely miserable. That scene has long been engraved into the depths of our memory like a brand. Ping Yi returned to the Demon Realm After that, nightmares would wake up every night for thousands of years, and Fei Lian, who was originally sunny and bright, changed his temperament drastically. He was taciturn and hadn't smiled for a long time. , This is also the reason why he wandered around the world all year round. He and Xing Tian bickered all day long, but the relationship between the two was the deepest. Yu Lei... well, he is an exception..."

Jin Zhen sighed, and continued: "It has been more than 8000 years since the Zhuolu War, and the pain in everyone's heart has finally been slowly faded away. If you know about this, the dusty memory will be awakened again What can they do if they know? Kill Houqing? Ten thousand years of disputes, what's the point? Knowing the meaning of Chi You's last words, fame and wealth, and things outside of the body are all floating clouds. In any case, only those who can survive will know the value of life and feelings. In comparison, everything else is as insignificant. As for Hou Qing, He has been asleep for thousands of years, and now that he knows the truth, he also bears a huge guilt in his heart. I believe his heart is more painful than anyone else. I will not kill him, but I will not forgive him either."

Jin Zhen stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Jiu's hair, and said in a deep voice: "All of us, including Hou Qing, have experienced the edge of life and death. Only by living a good life can we be worthy of those brothers who died. In this case , don’t open the wounds in the hearts of my friends. Maybe one day, Houqing will take the initiative to tell them that this is his business. What I can do is to cherish the present and the people around me.”

Xiao Jiu raised his head and stared blankly at Jin Zhen, with admiration and doubt in his eyes. After a while, he said:

"Jin Jin, your tone is like that of Master Xuan Wu, you are not possessed, are you? You are not going to leave me to become a monk, are you?

Jin Zhen hugged him and said with a smile: "If you continue to pretend that you don't know me, I might really go to become a monk in despair."

When Xiao Jiu heard the words, she immediately opened her mouth and said: "It's all the meaning of the queen mother and the emperor brothers. The moment I regained my memory, I wanted to find you. Do you know how difficult it is to act in front of you every day?" ? Sometimes I have to pinch my thigh secretly to restrain my urge to fall into your arms."

Jin Zhen lowered his head and kissed Xiao Jiu's forehead lightly, and said, "I understand, it's hard for you these days. Your family members are very... powerful, and I know they love you very much. The matter of Hou Qing has been explained , now let's plan the future of the two of us, do you want to follow me back to the devil world or go to the mortal world?"

Xiao Jiu remembered what the queen mother said to herself, thought for a while and said: "Let's go back to the mortal world. The queen mother said that I am a dignified prince of the Dragon Palace and cannot rely on others to support me. I have to be self-reliant. I can only be a rice bug when I go to the devil world. At least I still have a job in the mortal world, I can continue to go back to filming, I quite like this job. And the most important thing is, there are a lot of delicious food in the mortal world that I haven't eaten yet."

Jin Zhen: ...

That last sentence is the point.

Jin Zhen nodded, and continued: "That's fine, but I have recovered my identity as a Demon Lord. There are still many things to deal with in the Demon Realm, and I need to go back often to check on it later."

Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "Go back to your mother's house? I'll accompany you."

Jin Zhen: ...

It seems that it is time to find time to talk about this appellation issue.

Jin Zhen picked up the donut box on the table and said to Xiao Jiu:

"Eighteen branches have been opened in the Devil Realm, and the reviews have been rave. Fei Lian is very satisfied. Let me recommend some special things in the mortal world. I plan to introduce this in the next step."

While Jin Zhen was speaking, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Jiu.

The little prince took a closer look, and his face turned red. The thing in Jin Zhen's hand turned out to be a pair of his own pigtail underwear.

He grabbed the underwear and buried his head in Jin Zhen's arms, and Jin Zhen's voice sounded in his ear:

"Fei Lian has already asked people to work on the marketing plan. This time, the budget given by the Ministry of Finance of the Demon Realm is double that of M's Dessert Shop. Well, the initial plan is to open [-] branches first."

The little prince gnawed on Jin Zhen's chest with a red face, and sighed silently:

Is it really nice to have such a willful old Gong...
