The Suzaku Immortal is hatching again

After the maid retreated, Gu Linghan walked around the screen and walked to the shelf.

With his arms around, he held the hot stone in his arms and walked towards the bathtub.

Firstly, he knew that he just got rid of a little sweat and wanted to wash the stones; secondly, as a firebird, he had been dissatisfied with the temperature of the bathing water for a long time.

For ordinary people, the water temperature is slightly warm, which is enough for bathing, but for Gu Linghan who has never liked water, it is far from enough.

As soon as he had an idea, he thought of using this self-heating stone as a heat source to heat the bath water.

With a "plop", the stone was lifted over the edge of the bucket and fell into the tub, and then, with a "boom", the stone sank to the bottom.When sinking into the water, some fine and dense air bubbles appeared on the stone body, and then floated to the surface of the water.

Gu Linghan glanced into the bathtub, and then began to undress.

First the outer robe, then the girdle, gradually layers of clothes fell on the painting screen.

When the obscene clothes and trousers also fell on it, Gu Linghan, who was ready, supported the side of the bucket, raised one leg, and turned over into the bath neatly.

While the water splashed, he didn't notice that there were more bubbles emerging from the water.

Sitting in the bathtub, Gu Linghan felt the temperature of the water gradually rising, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, thinking that the stones sent by his senior brother were really useful.

He recalled the scene of absorbing the spiritual power just now. Just now, he released the spiritual power towards the little stone, but the little stone ignored him. When his spiritual power was exhausted, the other party immediately sensed it, and instantly released the surging spiritual power, making him Absorb it yourself.

It seems that only when the spiritual power is exhausted, the little stone will help him.

Gu Linghan felt that this stone was extremely spiritual, and he couldn't help wondering, is it really not spiritual?

However, I don't know what happened in the mortal world, the aura is so thin.

Gu Linghan frowned and pondered, even the most absorbing self was hard to use.

The thinness of aura has no effect on human races, orc races and other viviparous races except that it will reduce their probability of forming a demon core.

But for the Sparrow Clan, there is only one dead end.

All the sparrows in the world are oviparous, and the young are all hatched from sparrow eggs.For the young chicks, this eggshell was supposed to protect their way of life, but because the aura in the world was getting less and less, the aura couldn't penetrate the eggshell, so the way of life became a way of death instead.

The birth rate of the Finches is getting lower and lower, and some species are almost extinct.

Gu Linghan was the only Suzaku in the world, and as the guardian of the sparrow clan, he naturally couldn't just let it die.

The innate spiritual fire contained in his body is a sharp weapon to help finches hatch, and Suzaku has the ability to guide, which can help people breathe out spiritual energy and become immortals.

However, there are many types of sparrows in the world, and they are scattered all over the world. He really can't take care of it all by himself, so he thought of a way.

He borrowed the identity of the emperor to transport all the famous eggs of various ethnic groups to the palace, and each ethnic group had a resident official in the palace, who were placed in different palaces in the harem.In order to deceive the public and avoid causing turmoil in the world, Gu Linghan had to use the name of concubine as a coordinator of various ethnic groups.

The hatching period of the sparrow tribe is mostly one month. After such an arrangement, at least each race can be guaranteed to receive the spiritual power of the Suzaku once a month. The surging spiritual power brought by the Suzaku is enough to make them hatch and take shape.

Although these measures are fundamentally palliative, not the root cause, at least they can solve the urgent need.

This is why the world said that Emperor Xuanqing was not taboo between men and women, and was licentious.

Thinking of this, Gu Linghan could only sigh secretly, who would know how sad and wronged he was!

He put his dissatisfaction behind him, and now he thinks about taking a comfortable bath.

Gu Linghan closed his eyes, stretched comfortably, and slowly stretched his limbs.The feet soaked in the water moved slightly, and accidentally touched the stone that he had immersed in the water.

His skin was attracted by the heat from the stone body, he raised his legs unconsciously, and put a pair of jade feet on the hot stone.

Suzaku loves heat, and although the temperature is not as good as that of Tanggu 1, which was bathed in ten days, it is not easy to have such a comfortable bath in the mortal world.

At this time, he discovered that huge bubbles began to appear on the surface of the water at some point, and the water in the tub had already boiled.

Gu Linghan was startled, and quickly moved his feet away from the stone.

This temperature is not hot enough for him, but if the maid who is waiting outside to serve him finds out and sees himself sitting in the boiling water intact, he may be scared to death.

He stood up from the water and found that the room was already steaming, as if he was on top of a cloud.

While jumping out of the water, Gu Linghan pulled the outer robe on the side to wrap it up, trying to quickly fish out the stone, otherwise the water might not be able to stop boiling.

But he saw that the bathtub he had just left began to tremble under the drive of the boiling water, and with a bang, the iron bucket hoop broke, and the wooden boards in a circle were scattered and smashed under the impact of the water flow. on the ground. .

"..."

This is all right, there is no need for him to destroy the corpse, Gu Linghan thought dully.

Hearing the movement in the hall, the maids and eunuchs rushed to the palace regardless of the emperor's order, but saw that the inner hall was in a mess.

His Majesty the Emperor was only wrapped in a robe, with wet hair, and stood barefoot on the ground. The bathtub beside him was torn apart, the floor was covered with water, and the hall was steaming with mist.All the servants looked at everything in the hall in astonishment, and couldn't guess what happened just now.

Gu Linghan gathered the skirt of his clothes, "The wooden barrel is not strong, next time tell the workshop to make a strong one. I won't pursue it this time."

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and clean up."

The stunned servants came back to their senses. Someone took a dry handkerchief to help the emperor wipe his dripping long hair, someone tidied up the scattered boards, and someone set up a hoop on the ground and rolled out.

At this time, the eunuch who was in charge of clearing the wooden planks saw a big stone on the round wooden plank at the bottom of the barrel, and asked subconsciously, "Why is there a stone here?"

"Oh, this is my stepping stone." Gu Linghan said calmly without even looking at it.

.......

At this time of chaos, an eunuch came in to report.

"Concubine Ye please see me."

Concubine Ye's name was Ye Xi, and she had been Gu Linghan's right-hand man before he ascended the throne.But he happened to be the best person in their clan, so the position of reception officer also fell on his shoulders.

But only the emperor's concubine can live in the palace, so Gu Linghan can only wrong Ye Xi and give him a concubine.

Gu Linghan nodded, "Xuan."

"Biography Ye Concubine Empress."

Outside the palace gate, Ye Xi was still unaccustomed to hearing this name, his back stiffened, and his steps were somewhat unnatural.

After he entered the hall, the two eunuchs on duty at the door whispered to each other.

"Concubine Ye is very cold, she doesn't care about people."

"Really? I think Niangniang has a round face, and Yuxue is cute."

"You don't know, this empress has another identity before she enters the palace. She is the leader of our majesty's assassins."

"God! You really can't judge people by their appearances."

.......

Inside the gate of the palace, Ye Xi, who had gone far but had excellent hearing, silently defended herself in her heart. The leader of the killer was not considered as the leader of the hidden guards.

Gu Linghan waited for a long time before the case, but did not see Ye Xi approaching, suddenly realized that he had forgotten his habits.

He raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the cleaning was almost done, so he raised his hand and screened the servants back.

Sure enough, it took a while.

A black shadow flashed into the hall quickly and appeared in front of him, but it was a few feet away from where he was.

......

Gu Linghan looked at Ye Xi, who was obviously relieved in the distance, and remained silent.

After entering the palace just now, Ye Xi looked at the servants who were in a mess in front of him in astonishment. He didn't expect that there would be so many people inside, and he was terrified.

So he quietly leaned against the wall, lowered his head, and waited for the crowd to retreat before he went in to face the saint. Fortunately, the emperor knew about his problem a long time ago and would not blame him.

Gu Linghan sighed, and asked, "During these days, what abnormalities have you found?"

"The subordinate is incompetent, and there is nothing abnormal."

Gu Linghan waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "It's not your fault. Now that it's the season, I won't send you tasks."

He was a little thirsty after taking a bath, took a sip of tea, then looked at Ye Xi who was standing a few feet away from him, and said, "Get ready, I'm going tonight In your night palace."

Ye Xi nodded when he heard the words. At this moment, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be something flickering beside the emperor.

"Huh? Why is this stone still glowing?"

Coincidentally, at this time, the painter brought by Eunuch Qian also arrived. Because he was ordered by His Majesty and Eunuch Qian led him, he did not report.

This man was new to the palace and did not understand the rules. He looked around and found that the red light flashed on the stone on the shelf in front of him, and it actually glowed by itself.

Gu Linghan put down the teacup in his hand and coughed lightly.

Eunuch Qian understood immediately, and said, "The emperor is the real dragon emperor, what treasures will His Majesty have, so why make such a fuss!"

The painter also knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly admitted his mistake, "It's the officials who talk too much."

"Just draw yours, don't worry about the rest, you don't see anything."

"Yes." The painter hurriedly set up the easel, not daring to raise his head again.

Gu Linghan didn't care about the two of them any more, but was really curious about Ye Xi, and immediately asked, "You are so far away from me, can you hear what I said?"

Ye Xi finally looked up at him, blinked her round eyes and nodded, "Yes."

Gu Linghan smiled and shook his head, although Ye Xi had a baby face with round eyes and such a fearful personality, but he was a very capable assistant to him.

Not long after, Ye Xi and the painter retreated one after another.

In the huge palace, only Gu Linghan and the stone were left.

Gu Linghan stood in front of that stone for a long time, finally poked it, and said, "Why don't you shine in front of me? Is it because I use you as a stepping stone, so I'm angry?"
