Chapter 34 Chapter 34 My favorite child.
When Wen Jue left Qianji Divine Sect, he still felt complicated.
Although he said that even Fourteen, the first one summoned, could not threaten him, his heart was still empty.
He had clearly been 'special' for so many years.
Should I be angry?
It's hard to say. He is no longer at the age to compete with his fellow apprentices for favor.
Taking a step back, maybe Qin Zhou had other reasons for summoning Fourteen first...
Maybe it’s because Fourteen is not in good health... From the past, the village chief is always the first to notice the health problems of the villagers.
Although this ability sounds strange, it is true.
Wen Jue darkened his eyes.
It depends on whether he can take this step back and think about it.
Taking a step back, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Taking a step back...
Wen Jue clenched his fist.
…
The soul flew to the lower world unscrupulously again.
But when he reached the village entrance, Wen Jue stopped again.
Can these four words be used to describe the feeling of being homesick?
Wen Jue hesitated, a little afraid to push open the gate. His slender body stood there like a bamboo. The gate at the entrance of the village seemed to be a dividing line between thousands of years ago and the past.
There was clearly someone in there whom he longed to see.
Can……
Wen Jue was timid.
Wen Jue raised his hand and put it down again.
In the village chief's mind, his impression of him should still be Lu Yi.
He is not the oldest among the village apprentices, but he has the highest talent. Holding a sword and wearing white clothes, standing in the crowd, he must be the dazzling and brilliant Lu Yi.
Even if he was sent to the Immortal Sect to practice, Lu Yi could easily become the chief disciple of the Sword Sect.
Lu Yi who would never embarrass him.
Wen Jue lowered his eyes.
It would be better if we were not sure whether Qin Zhou was the village chief. Maybe in that case, he would not be afraid to open the gate because of these complicated emotions.
The ginkgo tree at the gate of the courtyard shook again, and its golden leaves began to fall again.
Spring goes and autumn comes, I really don’t know how old I am.
Wen Jue sighed.
At this moment, there was a slight creaking sound and someone pushed the door open from the inside.
Wen Jue suddenly raised his head.
Qin Zhou held the door frame with his hand, stood in front of him, and asked, "What are you doing outside?"
At that moment, it seemed as if the wind had stopped. Wen Jue didn't even notice the leaves falling on his sleeves.
Qin Zhou opened the door for him.
It seemed like a door that could lead from thousands of years later to thousands of years ago. The fire in my heart burned again, trying to burn away all the hesitation.
Facing Qin Zhou's question, Wen Jue raised his head and said to himself: "Look...look at the scenery for a while."
Qin Zhou:?
oh.
Qin Zhou closed the door and turned to leave.
“……” Wen Jue looked at the door that closed again and really wanted to kill someone.
Never mind, enough sensationalism.
This guy is just an unromantic bastard.
When I got closer, I found that the door was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap, as if it was left open specially for someone.
Wen Jue took a deep breath, and a sweet fragrance suddenly rushed into his nose.
A sweet smell wafted from the yard, mixed with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, forming an extremely special taste.
This is……
It was a very familiar sweet smell, but Wen Jue couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.
When I walked into the yard, Qin Zhou was sitting at a small wooden table, fiddling with something.
On the table were some familiar small wooden sticks, boiled syrup, and elixirs that had been refined to the size of rice balls.
Wen Jue knew what it was at a glance. He was very surprised. "Your medicine business can't continue. Are you going to set up a stall in the city to sell candied haws?"
"..." Qin Zhou's movements of coating the candied haws froze because of what he said.
Sometimes when Wen Jue speaks, there really isn't a trace of romance in his words.
"When dealing with the Nine-Bee Beast, I brought back some honey." Qin Zhou explained that the honey of the Nine-Bee Beast is not just honey, but essentially a kind of spiritual juice. It's just that the quantity is rare and the cost of obtaining it is too high, so it is considered a rare food ingredient.
"Nine-bee beast? The Nine-bee beast that is afraid of the poisonous smoke of stone hay?" Wen Jue was stunned for a moment, and finally understood where this familiar sweet smell came from.
As the villager with the highest martial arts value in the small mountain village, he often followed the village chief to go out for training when he was young, although most of the time he went to the wild to find materials for alchemy.
This Nine-Bee Beast really left a deep impression on Wen Jue, so much so that even now, when he hears the name, he can still recall the scene at that time.
At that time, Wen Jue was in the late stage of foundation building. In order to help him break through, the village chief set his sights on the legendary golden elixir spirit beast, the Nine Bee Queen.
Nine Bee Needles are a necessary ingredient for the Breakthrough Pill.
The process of obtaining the Nine Bee Needles was very smooth. After all, something like stone hay was nothing to the wealthy village chief.
But after removing the nine bee needles, if nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected happened.
The two had clearly walked out of the Nine Bee Beast's gathering area, but were still caught up by the Nine Bee Queen. The awakened Nine Bee Queen went berserk and rushed straight towards him.
Although Wen Jue was in the late stage of foundation building, he had the strength to fight against the enemy even if he was in the Jindan stage. The weapon he held in his hand was made by the village chief himself, and the armor on his body was also an absolutely powerful spiritual weapon.
But facing the violent Nine Bee Queen in the Golden Core Stage, he still lost. Every time he was close to death, he would be full of energy again as soon as he opened his eyes. The village chief would study the Nine Bee Queen's tactics, and he would regroup and continue to fight... This was probably the case, but Wen Jue could no longer remember the details.
I only remember that the Nine Queens fought for a long time. Finally, I found that the weakness of the violent Nine Queens was between her eyes.
In the end, he won, but he was also seriously injured and had to recuperate in the village for a long time.
To reward him, the village chief used the honey of the Nine-Bee Beast to wrap him in candied haws.
"What kind of candied haws is this? It looks weird." Lu Yi, with a pale face, looked at the candied haws given by the village chief, hesitating whether to eat it.
He likes to eat candied haws, but the candied haws in front of him looked a little strange.
The outer shell was coated with golden sugar, but the coating had not yet been evenly coated. The inside was dark... a pill, right? A mixture of medicinal and sweet smells rushed straight into my nose.
It's nothing like the candied haws that the village chief usually gives out.
The village chief swore: "It's delicious."
"You promise?"
"Um."
As a result, Lu Yi took a sip and his face wrinkled. "Village Chief, does the medicine have to be so bitter?"
"If the pill is sweet, it should be called a sugar bean pill, not a medicine."
“…”
At that time, Lu Yi could not refute.
But after that, all the pills that the village chief made for him were sweet without exception.
Even now, when I can still see the candied haws wrapped in the honey of the Nine-Bee Beast, my tongue seems to recall the bitter and sweet taste of that time.
"Aren't you going to look for the materials to break through the foundation building, why are you going to fight the Nine Bee Beast?"
Wen Jue moved a stool and sat down, watching Qin Zhou skillfully wrap the sugar coating. He held the thin wooden stick with both hands and gently twisted it in his palms, and threads appeared on the surface of the sugar coating.
After not seeing him for so many years, did he practice the art of coating the sugar? The sugar coating was even stringy.
"It was delivered to my door. I thought I would use the breakthrough pill for the Jindan stage in the future, so I took it." Qin Zhou handed the wrapped candied haws to him.
Wen Jue took it without hesitation.
As soon as I took a bite, my mouth was filled with sweetness.
The honey of the Nine-Bee Beast is sweet but not greasy, and is truly the best sweet product.
Wen Jue was satisfied that he still brought him candy when he went to find a material for the elixir. But before he swallowed the food in his mouth, he froze, looked at Qin Zhou who was staring at him, and silently slowed down his chewing speed.
"You... can also wrap the candied haws by yourself... haha..." Wen Jue asked with a dry laugh.
Qin Zhou nodded, "In the past, there were children in my family who loved to eat it."
Wen Jue:!
Who is he calling little boy!
"Do you have children at home..." Wen Jue asked tentatively.
"Yes." Qin Zhou nodded, "Many."
Wen Jue played with the stick of the candied haws and glanced at him casually, "Which one do you like best?"
Qin Zhou looked at him and curled his lips, "The one who likes to eat candied haws the most."
Wen Jue stood up suddenly, at a loss: "Haha."
"It's delicious." Wen Jue ate silently. The one who likes to eat candied haws the most has become a demon! Wen Jue said in a desolate way.
"Yeah." Qin Zhou was silently coating the sugar on the side.
Once all the honey candied haws are stringed together, the process is finished.
Qin Zhou wrapped all the prepared candied haws in oil paper and put them into a Qiankun bag.
"Why are you pretending?" Wen Jue asked while chewing the crispy candy coating. Isn't that for him?
"I'll pay it every seven days, didn't you say that?"
Before Wen Jue could reply, Qin Zhou said, "It's not good to eat too much candy. Leave it with me first."
His words were apparently very calm, but gradually they overlapped with the faceless person in his memory.
The tone of the village chief who always controls him.
Wen Jue held the candied haws in his hand and was speechless for a moment.
Qin Zhou's identity had long been revealed, but he kept using some flimsy excuses to refute it because he was afraid.
He was afraid that when he met this person again, he would not know how to face him.
What scares Wen Jue even more is...
Mingming had thought about it tens of thousands of times. If he came back, he would strangle him hard or lock him up... He would make him suffer a little, and then throw the hairpin in front of him and ask him where he had been all these years.
In fact, we should ask why we summoned Fourteen but not him...
But now, just a candied haws, a memory, and the call of "little friend" can make him happy.
Totally useless.
Wen Jue's silence prevented Qin Zhou from continuing.
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. I'm going to prepare to make the elixir." Qin Zhou packed up his things, stood up and walked into the house.
The Foundation Establishment Pill needs to be refined. Now that the Nine Bee Needles are in hand, he is considering refining the Golden Core Stage Breakthrough Pill as it will be needed sooner or later.
"Go ahead." Wen Jue took a vicious bite of the candied haws in his hand, pulling the sugar threads out long. He stared at Qin Zhou, chewing him as if he wanted to chew him to pieces.
It would be fine if he wasn't the first one, he would just wait and see when this person would summon him.
It can't be the last one!
Wen Jue's eyes were deep. He would keep staring at him before summoning him!
…
Wen Jue's sight was blocked outside the door.
The box placed in the corner of the house is particularly eye-catching.
Qin Zhou knew what was in the box.
A piece of armor with a hole cut in it.
He found the armor while sorting out his belongings shortly after returning from the border.
At the belly of the armor, a palm-sized piece had been cut off. A piece of armor that happened to be missing a piece in the middle was something that anyone would not be able to help but take a second look at.
The person who cut off the armor quietly pushed it to the bottom of the box.
Do you think he won't turn it over?
Qin Zhou sighed.
In particular, the missing piece in the middle happens to be the part engraved with the sect's logo - it is the Thousand Machines Divine Sect where No. 14 is located.
So, Wen Jue probably went to look for Fourteen.
I thought something different would happen when I came back.
He also prepared candied haws for the occasion.
In the end, I still don’t want to recognize him.
After finding Fourteen and confirming his identity, he still didn't want to recognize him.
There was no expression on Qin Zhou's face, and his eyes were dark, as if it was a silent, dark night with an impending storm.
