Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

"say what?"

"Is it okay not to go?"

"This is an order from the butler."

Xu Jiu always felt that something was wrong, which made him very uncertain, and said nervously: "My brother is here, I can't leave him here alone."

Ali was surprised: "Your brother? Why didn't I know you had a younger brother?"

"Uh," Xu Jiu knew that poor families in the wasteland would not raise so many children, especially those of his parents' age. "This is really my younger brother, who was entrusted to me by my uncle wandering in the wilderness."

Ali was curious, and went straight into the castle: "Where is it?"

Before the other party was about to break into the bedroom, Xu Jiu hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be so loud, he is sleeping."

Ali looked at the frail young man in front of him, and joked, "Such a baby, can't it be your son?"

Xu Jiu nodded: "Yes."

Ali looked at him with slanted eyebrows: "Come on, you have to grow it longer."

Xu Jiu looked at the other's strong chest and thighs, and walked into the room with a wooden face.

After entering the room, I found that the child had already got up, and was with the little bear facing the dough, with his hands around the bear's neck, his feet on the bear's body, and his little face next to the big bear's head.

"Fatty."

The child looked up at him, and of course saw Ali behind him.

Xu Jiu also looked at Ali.

Ali pondered: "In this case, let's take him to the manor together, and I will ask the cook to take care of him."

Xu Jiu was in a dilemma.

I don't know what happened to the manor this time, so I rashly brought Pangpang there, what if something happens?And the child's identity has always been Xu Jiu's favorite. When he picked it up, the child was dressed very well, and his appearance and living habits did not look like those of a poor family. He was probably a descendant of a nobleman. An adult's embrace is a very sacred thing. If a child is found alive, it will be a disaster for both of them.

In his heart, he didn't want to take the child out, but Pangpang was so small, it was not safe to stay in the castle by himself.Ali didn't know what Xu Jiu was talking about, so he asked anxiously, "Will you go?"

Xu Jiu bent down and faced the child face to face: "Fatty, brother is going out, will you come with me?"

The child looked at him questioningly.

"Go to a place with a lot of people," Xu Jiu swallowed, "it may be the same as where Fatty lived before."

The child was ignorant, and then lowered his head.

"Fatty, are you going with brother or not? If we go, we'll have to leave."

The child's voice was soft and waxy: "No."

"If you stay at home, you can't run around alone." Xu Jiu looked left and right, "Brother will lock the gate of the castle before leaving, and Pangpang wants to eat and go to the kitchen, so you can't run around in other places, you know? ?”

The kid nodded.

Xu Jiu locked the door anxiously, and got into the carriage with Ali.

"Is that really your uncle's son?"

"Huh? That's right!" Xu Jiu replied loudly as the carriage ran up like thunder.

"Tsk tsk, your uncle must be as thin as you!"

"what?"

"Look at that bastard, if your uncle can regenerate, he will definitely not be left behind! Returning to the embrace of Lord Beast God, and becoming a strong warrior in the future is the mission of us barren people!"

Xu Jiu: "..." You said directly that it would be better for him to die, I understand.

The two talked and drank ashes, and drove all the way into the central area of ​​the manor.

The central urban area of ​​Dutu Manor is very large, and it is the only large town nearby, divided into inner city and outer city.The gate of the outer city is the gray wall that Xu Jiu saw when he fetched water last time. The number of houses around the wall increased significantly, and they were scattered around the wall like wild mushrooms.

The outer city gate is a large circular arch, and there are guards wearing the badge of Dutu Manor in front of the gate.Ali's carriage was very eye-catching. The guards with weapons on both sides looked at it from a distance and let it go. The carriage rattled through the lively crowd and drove straight forward.

After entering the city gate, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, the crowds were dense and bustling, and the bustle and bustle of the city was everywhere.Scattered and simple houses were replaced by rows of buildings. The small buildings have different shapes, but the stones are all regular and huge stones with different colors, but the layout is integrated, showing the unique grandeur of the desert. Magnificent beauty.Looking around, the houses are patchwork, high and low are full of pointed eaves, and the windows are decorated with glass pieces of different colors, which are shining and reflecting in the sun, which is quite exotic.

There are various shops on both sides of the road, which are open for business, and there are still people setting up stalls on the side of the road. Because the carriage is too fast, it is impossible to see what is on display.

In the city, a carriage driveway was specially set up for the manor. The avenue is wide, which is different from the carriages and horses on the street. There are copper bells hanging on the carriage that the two are sitting on, and they jingle all the way, attracting many admiring eyes.

Xu Jiu pointed to the tallest black spire in the distance: "Is that the manor?"

Ali nodded proudly: "Yes! That's where the garden owner lives!"

The towering castle looks like a wind blade piercing into the sky, and the black tower is majestic and terrifying, as if overlooking everything.

The carriage took another half an hour to arrive at the manor. It was far away from the hustle and bustle, and it was located alone on a half-mountain peak. The buildings surrounding the main castle were scattered and dazzling, like the golden sand accidentally spilled by the beast god.

There are no civilian residences near the main manor, only a wide Shinto path leading directly to the castle, and there are a pair of huge stone beast statues every 50 meters on both sides of the Shinto path.Those wild beasts are not like any one Xu Jiu has seen, but they have the shape of ancient legends, such as human-faced beasts, three-headed snakes, one-legged birds, etc. The shapes are exaggerated and gorgeous. Each stone statue is nearly two stories high. It's carved out of a whole boulder.

There is silence and solemnity on the Shinto, only the sound of the wheels rolling by.

Xu Jiu suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, like lament and sadness, as if being brought into the past that had been scattered into dust by these ancient gods.Ancient and sad, like the pulsation at the moment of human birth, although it is not felt, it has been integrated into the flesh and blood.

"Hey, here we are." Ali jumped off the carriage and pushed Xu Jiu.

Xu Jiu suddenly came back to his senses, with a nasal voice: "Huh?"

Back at the manor, Ali couldn't help tensing up, and his tone became rigid: "It's here."

It was only then that Xu Jiu realized that the two of them had come to the main hall through the long forehead divine way, and there were four attendants in purple clothes standing on both sides, one of them was in charge of receiving Xu Jiu, the other was going to report, and Ali pulled the carriage down the side road .

This hall is shaped like a temple, with long colonnades on both sides and aisles inside.The attendant who received Xu Jiu had a round face with a rosy complexion, his hair was tied behind his ears, and his eyes seemed to be smiling at any time. He directed Xu Jiu: "Please follow me."

They entered the promenade from the left, and quickly walked into the interior of the manor. On both sides were neatly carved white gatehouses. They turned again and appeared in an open hall. Walking in from the hall, exiting the main entrance, they walked onto a bridge. .

Xu Jiu was stunned.

Under the bridge is a whole piece of light blue and pure sea water!

It is blue, with golden light shining, and it is clear to see all kinds of swimming objects and strange rocks on the bottom of the sea.

Seeing Xu Jiu's shocked look, the attendant pursed his lips proudly, not only did not urge him, but even waited for him specially.

"Is this the sea?"

"Hai, what is that?" The attendant was puzzled.

"Not the sea?" Xu Jiu murmured, subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he could hold a handful of sea water, "Then what is this?"

"This is the galaxy." The attendant explained word by word, "My lord collected all the blue stones to make the galaxy. Isn't this like the starry sky at night?"

Xu Jiu shook his head.

"It's like the night, look at the gemstones in the ground, the night will become a star map, exactly the same as the sky in the wasteland."

Xu Jiu murmured, not knowing whether it was joy or disappointment.

No matter how close the habit is, this world still has nothing to do with the original one, and even the occasional surprise is a coincidence.

The two continued to walk forward on the long stone bridge, with the misty and vast galaxy under their feet.

When he fell to the ground again, the attendants led Xu Jiu into a room, and then retreated.

In the house, another attendant in purple invited him to sit down.

"Guests please wait."

Xu Jiu sat quietly on the white jade carving chair, feeling like Lin Daiyu entering Jia's mansion, no, it should be Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.But after being overwhelmed by Xinghe, he felt that the decoration in the house was more ornate, but nothing special, but calmer.Xu Jiu didn't look around and drank slowly the water brought by the attendant.

After drinking a glass of water, I saw a tall and straight man walking in from outside.The man was wearing a full white suit, with densely embroidered purple flowers on the collar and cuffs, but he didn't look feminine, but instead reduced his overly aggressive temperament.

The visitor wore half-length chestnut hair, his facial features were thick and thick, and fine wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. He said to Xu Jiu, "I am the first-class attendant, Qing Kong."

Xu Jiu hurriedly leaned over to return the salute: "Lord Qing Kong."

Qing Kong looked to be in his early thirties, and he looked at Xu Jiu indiscriminately: "Do you know why I invited you here?"

Xu Jiu answered politely: "My lord, I don't know."

There was a deep smile at the corner of Qing Kong's mouth: "Master Steward heard that you are very popular with animals, and it just so happens that the claws of Yunban at home have grown, please come and trim them."

"what?"

Qing Kong saw his incomprehensible look, raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"Your Excellency, you want me to repair Yunban's claws?"

"En." Qingkong nodded, and ordered the attendants beside him, "Take him to the backyard."

……

Xu Jiu was ignorantly taken to the lower part of the black main building. The environment here is very quiet, covered with trees carved from whole pieces of jade, with clear veins in the leaves, exuding a warm luster under the sun.A string of purple flower bells is tied to each tree. When the wind blows, the green leaves jingle, and the wind chimes are crisp and bright, as if falling on the heart.

Such a generous local tyrant would have sighed at another time, but now he is all focused on the top of a jade tree.

Lying on it was a big fat cat, big and fat, about the size of a medium-sized Samoyed.

Are you sure it's a cat?

The attendant pointed: "That's Yunban."

Xu Jiu closed his jaw that was about to drop in shock: "Cut its claws?"

The attendant nodded and handed him a pair of scissors: "Pay attention to the tree of the owner of the garden, each leaf is specially carved by craftsmen from the imperial city for good luck."

...So, you called me all the way to cut the cat's paws, are you sure you're not messing with me?
