Chapter 142
When Ming Qiao learned the news, he was checking around in Lintian Sect.
He sat on the little cloud, with Lingsi beside him.
The two little ones were patrolling together.
"Ming Qiao, there are a lot more people in the clan than before."
"Yes, after the sect competition, some people came to sign up!"
Ming Qiao was extremely satisfied with the results of the sect competition.
They not only won fame, but also won money!
The bet he made with Lingsi was a huge profit.
When they went to collect the money, the thoughtful Ming Qiao specially called his grandfather to come along. With his grandfather protecting them, they were not afraid of not getting the money.
Thanks to Mingqiao's action, otherwise, if the two children went to collect the money alone, the money would never reach them.
Now that Mingqiao has money and many fellow students, he lives a happy life every day.
He was also enjoying the moment, and the voices of the disciples passing by him reached his ears.
"Did the Qin family really cut down the tree? Is there something wrong with their family?"
"I also think they are sick. Now it's impossible for people in the lower world to ascend."
"I heard that the origin of our sect seems to be called Cangxuan Continent. Is this place also in the lower realm?"
"right."
Ming Qiao pricked up his ears to hear the disciples' discussions, and he listened carefully to everything.
After he heard this, the happy expression on his little face disappeared completely.
“The big tree was cut down.”
He murmured in disbelief, "It was the big tree at the Ascension Place that was cut down."
Ling Si: “…”
Lingsi: “It should be.”
All those who ascended from the lower world ended up at that tree.
Rumor has it that this tree is the passage for people to ascend to heaven.
If the tree is gone, it means that the normal channel for ascension is gone.
Ming Qiao opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a long time before he digested the bad news.
"Duoduo, let's go find mom!"
Ming Qiao still has a bunch of people he cares about in the lower world, and he is still waiting for them to fly up.
Let him know now that the person he is waiting for may never come up again.
He was naturally anxious.
The little cloud knew that Mingqiao was anxious, so it whooshed away and became a cloud.
It sent Mingqiao back in the shortest time possible.
Mingqiao went back to find her mother, but Lingsi did not follow her.
He plans to go home first.
Little Cloud is very friendly to her baby's friends.
So, it poked Lingsi and asked Lingsi: "Do you want me to take you home?"
Lingsi shook her head: "No, I'll walk back by myself."
Little Cloud: "Okay."
It watched Lingsi go back, while it waited for the baby there.
In the hall.
Ming Qiao rushed in and asked Qing Heng anxiously, "Mother, has the place that supplies spiritual energy to Cang Xuan Continent been closed?"
The spiritual energy of the Cang Xuan Continent is thin, especially when it is adjacent to the Tian Jun Realm, the spiritual energy is pitifully scarce.
It was only after Qing Heng ascended that he understood more clearly—
He is not a cultivator from Cang Xuan Continent, so he lacks talent or hard work.
Instead, the overall environment of the Cang Xuan Continent is simply not sufficient to support the ascension of cultivators.
In order to bring more spiritual energy to the Cangxuan Continent, Qingheng, Wuye and others have been transporting spiritual energy down from several places that Mingqiao had found before.
And now, these places have all disappeared as the big trees broke.
They could no longer transmit spiritual energy downwards.
Ming Qiao looked at his mother's frown and guessed the answer.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Master uncle, elder uncle, and fellow brothers and sisters, what should we do?"
Mingqiao stood beside his mother's legs, raised his chubby face and asked eagerly.
Qing Heng patted his head and comforted him, "Your father and I are already thinking of a solution."
In order to prevent his cub from being too anxious, Qingheng simply picked him up.
"Aren't you playing with Lingsi? Where's Lingsi?"
"Lingsi has returned home."
Mingqiao buried her little face in Qingheng's arms and rubbed it hard.
He spoke in a muffled voice, still thinking about the Cang Xuan Continent.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Qingheng simply took him to the treasure house and asked Dalong to play with him.
The treasury that was originally filled with treasures has now been remodeled by Dalong.
This place doesn't look like a treasure house, but more like a playground for children.
It has to be said that Dalong's love for his grandson is obvious to the naked eye.
"Grandma, why isn't Grandpa here?"
After entering the treasury, the cub who was taken over by Dalong looked a little better. He looked around but didn't see Shi Ze.
Dalong didn't know where Shi Ze had gone.
He growled at Qingheng, signaling Qingheng to go and do his own thing.
Qingheng looked at the cub sitting on the dragon's back, then turned and walked out.
The adults are very relieved to see Dalong taking care of the cubs.
"roar?"
Qiao Qiao, didn’t you see your grandpa?
After Qingheng left, Dalong couldn't help but asked Mingqiao.
He hadn't seen Shi Ze for two or three days.
Whenever Shi Ze went out, he would tell him, and no matter how late it was, he would come back and sleep on him.
He hasn't seen Shi Ze for several days now.
"I saw grandpa yesterday morning. I called him, but he didn't hear me and walked away again."
Ming Qiao said honestly: "Grandpa seems to be very busy these days."
He wanted to play with his grandfather, but couldn't find anyone.
The dragon and the cub look at each other.
Finally, the clever kid found out: "Grandma, are you missing grandpa?"
Dalong: “Roar.”
No.
Dalong answered so quickly that the smart boy's eyes narrowed.
"You just miss grandpa."
Ming Qiao was very confident. He held the dragon's scales in his chubby little hands. Although he had no experience in early love, he acted like a relationship mentor.
He said seriously: "Grandma, you like Grandpa very much too."
When my grandparents are together, grandma is always mean to grandpa.
He was also asked by Aunt Lingxing how he could have an egg if his grandparents had such a bad relationship.
He was stunned when asked.
When he came to his senses and told Aunt Lingxing that his grandparents actually had a good relationship, Aunt Lingxing still didn't believe it.
"Daddy said that if you like someone, you should be brave enough to express it."
"Grandma, if you like grandpa, you should let him know."
Although Ming Qiao's words fell into Dalong's ears, Dalong still said stubbornly -
I don't like Shi Ze at all.
Ming Qiao looked at his stubborn grandmother and sighed deeply.
"Okay, you don't like grandpa, so do you want to come with me to see grandpa?"
Dalong: “…”
Dalong didn't say anything.
Mingqiao curled her eyes and took the initiative to give Dalong a way out.
"Grandma, please accompany Qiao Qiao! Qiao Qiao wants to go find grandpa."
Under Mingqiao's "begging", Dalong finally nodded reluctantly.
He nodded, but how to leave in a low-key manner became a big problem.
"Grandma, how can you become smaller?"
"have no idea."
Dalong himself has also secretly tried hard. He is not a homebody and does not really want to live in the treasure house all the time.
He also wanted to go out, wanted to be smaller and go out in a low-key manner.
But he tried many times and failed.
Ming Qiao looked at his grandmother's huge body and fell into deep thought for a moment.
He pondered for a long time, and suddenly, a light bulb lit up in his little head.
"Grandma, there is a way. We can go ask other senior dragons!"
Of course, when it comes to questions about dragons, it is most effective to ask people of the same kind.
Mo Ge gave the ancient mirror to Ming Qiao. Now this small mirror has delivered a lot of supplies to the senior dragons in the abyss.
Mingqiao would often visit.
Under the guidance of his dragon predecessors, he also learned to fight using his dragon body.
He has mastered the moves like the fat dragon wagging its tail and the fat dragon rushing forward!
"Grandma, I'm going to ask the seniors, please wait for me!"
Ming Qiao did what he said. He took out a small mirror and shook it vigorously, then returned to the abyss where many dragon souls lived.
In order to entertain the big dragons, Ming Qiao gave them a lot of crystal balls.
Nowadays, all the dragons are addicted to watching football.
Their current hobbies are looking at the crystal ball and playing with the little fat dragon.
As soon as the golden little fat dragon appeared, all the big dragons flew out.
"Uncles, grandpas, grandmas, Qiao Qiao has a question for you!"
Ming Qiao, the little fat dragon, flew in front of the other dragons and looked like a little leader.
He asked everyone seriously: "My grandma can't become smaller. Do you know how to solve this problem?"
The dragons never ignore Ming Qiao's problems.
They thought about it seriously.
They knew about the situation of Mingqiao's grandmother, Sang Yu.
The reason why Sang Yu gets bigger or smaller is actually his physical condition.
But Sang Yu's physical condition couldn't be adjusted in a short time...
The little fat dragon was waiting eagerly.
Under the gaze of the little fat dragon, the giant dragons, who did not want to disappoint the little fat dragon, racked their brains to think of a solution.
They thought about it for a long time.
The patient little fat dragon waited, turned in circles, and played with his tail.
It's so boring just waiting like this.
He didn't want to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the thoughts of his elders.
"I have an idea!"
A big dragon suddenly spoke, and his sudden voice scared the little fat dragon who was playing with his tail.
The frightened little fat dragon spat out the tail that he had bitten.
He flew to the red dragon and asked expectantly, "What's the solution?"
"Sang Yu is just too lacking in strength, but our dragon bones still have some strength left."
"Until Sang Yu's power returns, we can lend him our power."
They originally relied on their own little strength, and from time to time they would condense into a physical entity so that they could fight with each other or bump into rocks and trees to pass the time.
Now that they have something as beautiful as a crystal ball, they can sit in the cave and look at it.
They don't really need anything physical.
"Qiao Qiao, come with me."
The giant red dragon led Ming Qiao and took him to the dragon bone habitat.
He wanted to use the power of the dragon bones to give to Ming Qiao.
The other dragons followed.
The dragons watched quietly, not one of them objected.
Time passes by little by little.
The red dragon used some unknown secret technique to slowly draw out the power from its bones.
He concentrated all these powers on a stone. The stone looked ordinary, but it was related to the demise of these dragons.
"Let Sang Yu keep this stone safe."
The red dragon warned: "If the stone is gone, we will be gone too."
Ming Qiao: “!”
After hearing that, his fat paws were really a little hesitant to take it!
"Here, take it too."
The red dragon forced the stone into Ming Qiao's hands, and then asked Ming Qiao: "Are you in a hurry to go back? If not, we will take you out to play for a while."
"I don't want to play for now. I want to go back to La. I want to take grandma to find grandpa."
"All right."
The red dragon didn't try to persuade him to stay. He looked at Ming Qiao and hesitated for a moment. Then he asked, "How is your grandparents' relationship?"
"OK."
Ming Qiao replied casually that he felt the question was a bit strange.
The next second, the red dragon said something even stranger.
"Well, if they have a good relationship, Qiao Qiao, you should not sleep with them at night."
"If you want an adult to sleep with you, you can come find us."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao was puzzled: "Why?"
Why can’t he sleep with his grandparents!
The red dragon's eyes were vague and its roar was a little unclear.
"All of our dragons are dead. Since your grandmother can lay eggs, let her lay a few more."
"And your father and mother, do they plan to have a second child?"
These dragons of the dragon clan, after having died for many years, actually began to induce the birth of surviving dragons.
Ming Qiao was too small and just managed to dodge this wave.
He did escape, but his father, mother, and grandparents all did not escape.
These dragons also knew that laying and raising dragon eggs was not an easy task, so they also promised: "We can help raise the little dragons."
Mingqiao was choked up.
"My father said that we don't want a second child because it would be difficult for him and mother to raise me."
Mingqiao is in poor health. From the time he was born till now, he has been on the verge of death countless times.
Wu Ye took great pains to raise him.
It is very difficult to raise such a weak cub, and Wu Ye and Qing Heng have no plans to raise another one.
Even if the second cub is a healthy one, they are unwilling to have it.
All they need is Ming Qiao.
"I don't know whether grandma still lays eggs. I'll go ask her."
"Okay, don't ask too directly, just ask in a tactful way."
"Yes! I'll be tactful!"
Ming Qiao said goodbye to the dragons, waved his claws, and went back.
After returning, Ming Qiao changed back from a little fat dragon. He put the stone in a sachet and hung it on the fat dragon.
"Grandma, try changing again."
"roar."
good.
Dalong tried to shrink again. And this time, his huge body really began to shrink!
Dalong stopped only after shrinking to the size of chopsticks.
He shook his thin and small body in disbelief, and his roar seemed to become weaker as his body shrank.
"roar."
It worked.
After he roared, the tiny dragon body coiled around Ming Qiao's wrist.
Ming Qiao touched the shrunken dragon and felt it was magical.
"Grandma, this way I can take you out to play!"
Ming Qiao cheered, and ran out impatiently with the dragon coiled on her wrist.
The dragon and the cub originally wanted to find Shi Ze.
But Sang Yu changed his mind temporarily.
He finally got the chance to go out and take a look. Compared to Shi Ze who hadn't been home for three days, he wanted to see the new things on the street more.
Mingqiao is a filial boy. He takes his grandmother with him, not only looking around the streets, but also shopping everywhere.
Sang Yu was very interested in the snacks, small toys, or even some colorful and inexpensive decorations sold in the shops on the street.
Ming Qiao paid for everything he was interested in.
The adult and the child strolled on the street until evening. They did not go home for dinner, but instead ate two bowls of noodles on the street.
"Grandma, are you full?"
Ming Qiao chose a corner where there was no one. His little body shielded his grandmother and he was not afraid at all that his grandmother would be seen.
The little dragon that had just finished sucking noodles now looked thick in some parts.
This part is probably the stomach.
"roar."
I’m full.
Xiao Xilong had been eating all sorts of things all day, and now with a bowl of rice noodle soup, he was completely full.
After Mingqiao finished feeding Grandma Xilong, he started to take her to find Grandpa.
Grandpa is not at home and there is no one in the room.
Ming Qiao wanted to look for him somewhere else. The dragon on his wrist moved: "I can find him. I'll show you the way."
Sang Yu and Shi Ze formed an ancient bond of love.
In addition to living and dying together and transferring pain, this heart-to-heart bond also allows one party to sense the location of the other.
Shi Ze originally thought that he was the only one who could use this last function.
He didn't expect that Sang Yu would use it now.
Following Sang Yu's directions, Ming Qiao took a long time to get there.
Fortunately, there is a little cloud to take him flying, otherwise he would have spent even more time.
"Baby, we're here."
The safe and reliable little cloud also issued a reminder after arriving at the destination.
Ming Qiao jumped down from the cloud.
This place is remote and hard to find, but a brothel was built in such a hard-to-find place.
That’s right, it’s a flower house.
The brothel was dim and shadowy, and many graceful figures were emerging not far away.
Ming Qiao knew this kind of place.
This is a bad place to learn!
Daddy said that we should stay away from places like this.
"Is Grandpa here?"
Ming Qiao asked blankly, "Should we go in?"
Sang Yu stared at the brothel in front of him with a serious gaze, and his whole body tensed up.
He knew where this was.
In the past, he had seen places of romance.
"Enter."
Xilong squeezed out a word. He wanted to take a good look at how happy Shi Ze was here.
Ming Qiao keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
He opened his mouth and said weakly: "Grandma, why don't we wait for Grandpa to come out by himself."
Sang Yu didn't have the patience to wait.
His eyes were still fixed on the brothel, but at least his mind was a little clearer.
"Qiao Qiao, you wait outside."
Sang Yu didn't let Ming Qiao in because he knew the place in front of them was not suitable for children.
"Duoduo, keep an eye on Qiaoqiao."
After Sang Yu gave Xiao Yunduo some instructions and repeatedly asked Ming Qiao to stay outside and not run around, he flew out from Ming Qiao's fat wrist.
He flew straight into the brothel.
Ming Qiao watched him fly in, squatted down, and waited outside obediently.
I don’t know how long I waited.
Mingqiao's legs were numb from squatting.
"Duoduo, help me, help me."
Ming Qiao frowned, looking as if he had eaten bitter herbs.
Little Cloud grabbed him and tried to pull him up.
But Mingqiao's legs were so numb that he felt sore and painful when he moved a little.
The little cloud and the little cub were pulling each other outside. In the sky, a bright moon was hanging high early.
Maybe it’s because there are no adults around, or maybe it’s because I’m in an unfamiliar place.
Mingqiao always felt that the moonlight was desolate and cold.
He finally overcame the numbness in his legs, but his grandparents in the brothel had not come out yet.
Mingqiao and others were sleepy.
"Baby, sleep on me."
The sweet little Yunduo came over and volunteered to be Mingqiao's bed.
Ming Qiao really didn’t know when his grandparents would come out. He looked at the little cloud and slowly climbed onto it.
It was not until the second half of the night that the brothel caught fire.
In the firelight, Shi Ze's figure finally appeared, holding a small dragon in his hand.
He pinched the back of Xiao Xilong's neck, not allowing Xiao Xilong to escape.
The little dragon's scales were flushed, and the whole dragon was extremely agitated.
"Be good and behave yourself."
Shi Ze reminded quietly, his face also turning a little red.
He came to the brothel only because it was the Qin family's hidden territory.
On the Qin family's territory, he slowly trapped some of the Qin family's people who had seized Sang Yu's power and conducted experiments on them.
He was verifying which method could allow them to return their power.
His methods were cruel. These days, this place was more like hell than a brothel.
As for those beautiful figures in the brothel, they are nothing but a decoy.
His verification was effective, but at the last moment, Sang Yu broke in.
Not only did Sang Yu barge in, but he also misunderstood him.
There was friction between the two of them, and those people from the Qin family took advantage of this opportunity and actually tried to escape.
They were tortured so badly that when they were about to escape, they exploded.
There's no use breaking out.
Shi Ze would not give them a chance to escape.
They had trapped his dragon for many years, and he was always the man to repay an eye for an eye.
The chaos created by the Qin family was quelled.
It was during the chaos that something small happened to one of them and the dragon.
Sang Yu's teeth pierced Shi Ze's skin, and his ambergris poured into his skin.
Shi Ze was used to being bitten, and also used to some of the effects that ambergris brought to him.
In the past, although Shi Ze felt a little strange, he was still able to remain stable.
He had never thought before that he could do such intimate things with his dragon.
Now that he has become enlightened, ambergris has become a powerful medicine for him.
He couldn't help it, so he grabbed the dragon that was biting with its fangs and bit back.
As the two people bit each other, the effect of ambergris seemed to have spread to Sang Yu.
Sang Yu also felt a little uncomfortable.
Finally, Shi Ze hurriedly brought the dragon back.
Passing by the door.
Shi Ze also picked up the sleeping cub.
Xiao Yunduo is not familiar with Shi Ze, but he knows that Shi Ze is his grandfather.
He followed Shi Ze, hoping to get the baby back to raise him himself, but he failed.
Wait until I get home.
Only then did Shi Ze return the baby wrapped in clothes in his arms to Xiao Yunduo.
"Take Qiao Qiao to bed and don't come to the treasure house."
"Don't come tomorrow either."
After saying these two sentences, Shi Ze held his dragon and entered the treasure house.
After he entered, he sealed the treasure house.
That night, the wandering kid slept alone.
He slept in You Qing's room, covered with You Qing's quilt.
Surrounded by You Qing's lingering scent, he slept soundly.
In his dream, he also dreamed of You Qing.
He dreamed that You Qing was playing with him.
The next day.
Ming Qiao opened his eyes after a good sleep and found himself on You Qing's bed. He murmured and called him brother.
"Brother, hug me."
He called out twice, but before he could get a hug, he came to his senses.
"Baby, your brother is not here."
The little cloud that was used as a pillow on the bed spoke up in time: "I brought you to sleep last night."
"All right."
Ming Qiao rubbed his eyes and said in a disappointed voice.
He sat up, crossed his fat legs, and counted the days since his brother left on his fingers for a long time before getting up.
After counting, he said with resentment on his face: "Brother lied to me."
He said he would come back early, but there has been no news since then.
Mingqiao kept talking about her brother for a long time before she climbed out of bed, dressed herself, and went out to find the adults.
Today's breakfast was not eaten in the treasure house. The whole family had it in the dining room at home.
Ming Qiao looked at his grandparents who hadn't come out for breakfast, and Xiao Pang was puzzled: "Where's grandma?"
It’s okay that grandpa doesn’t eat on time, but grandma is always very active when it comes to eating.
"cough."
When Qingheng heard Mingqiao's question, he was suddenly choked for some reason.
After he was choked, Wu Ye immediately stroked his back.
"Slower."
Wu Ye whispered to Qingheng while taking Qingheng's water cup to the side.
He straightened Qing Heng's back and then looked at his son.
"Your grandma will eat later."
Wu Ye didn't say anything too specific. After he finished speaking, he changed the subject: "We are going to see the big tree later. It is the big tree at the place of ascension. Do you want to see it?"
"want!"
Ming Qiao replied loudly: "I want to go!"
Wu Ye nodded, picked up a small bun for his son, and told him to eat well.
Mingqiao ate the buns and looked at her father with her beautiful round eyes.
Although Daddy looked normal, Ming Qiao could feel that -
Daddy doesn't seem to be in a very good mood.
He ate another bun, but his clever little head still couldn't figure out why Daddy was not in a good mood.
Soon, the cub, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was carried out of the door by his father.
Although he has Little Cloud, he would rather sit in his father's arms than Little Cloud.
"Daddy."
On the way, Ming Qiao touched his father's eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Are you still unhappy?"
Wu Ye: “…”
Wu Ye still wanted to deny: "Daddy is not unhappy."
Ming Qiao shook his head: "Daddy is lying."
After he shook his head, Xiaopang held his daddy's face in his hands, pouted his lips, and gave his daddy's handsome face a kiss.
"Don't be unhappy, Qiao Qiao will kiss you."
Wu Ye's brows relaxed a little when his son kissed him with his saliva dripping from his mouth.
With Mingqiao's coaxing, Wu Ye's mood was not as bad as before when they arrived in front of the big tree.
Qingheng and Wuye have both been to the big tree at the place of ascension.
Ming Qiao was here too.
Looking at the ancient tree that was once so tall that you couldn't see its head, it is now cut in half.
The vitality of the ancient tree is gradually fading away.
Mingqiao twisted her little butt and broke free from her father's arms.
After he came down, he walked in front of the ancient tree.
"Daddy, can it be saved?"
This is the passage to ascend from the lower world, and Ming Qiao still wants to save it.
Wu Ye squatted down and stood beside his son.
He reached out and touched the dry bark of the ancient tree: "It's hard to save it."
He has not lived as long as this ancient tree.
With his strength, he couldn't save the ancient tree.
The Zhuling people also came and were studying the ancient trees.
The breaking of the ancient tree was shocking and unexpected to most people in the Tianjun Realm, but it did not affect them.
They didn't need the tree.
It is Mingqiao's family who need this tree, as they have ties with each other in the underworld.
"Qiao Qiao, we're going to stay here for a few days. If you want to go back, I can have someone take you back anytime."
"I'm not going back."
Ming Qiao put his chubby hands on the old tree and said firmly, "I will go back after I have repaired the tree."
Mingqiao didn't want to go back. He stayed at the scene and didn't make any trouble.
He is a good boy and rarely causes trouble for adults.
The place where the ancient tree is located, the nearest populated area, is a small village.
They live a little bit ahead of the village.
The adults took turns trying to save the tree, and Mingqiao was not idle either.
He would boil water for the adults to drink, and then make a fire to bake steamed buns for them to eat.
After a while, he ran over, inserted two small branches in front of the ancient tree, and placed a bowl.
There was steamed corn bread in the bowl.
This posture is like offering sacrifice.
But in fact, it was not a sacrifice, but Mingqiao inviting Dashu to dinner.
"Grandpa Tree, you have lived for a very long time, can you become a spirit?"
Mingqiao thought about her brother Guoguo.
Brother Guoguo is a little grass. When he was not feeling well before, it was not enough to just drink water and bask in the sun. He also ate a lot of food to nourish his body.
Therefore, eating is very important to the body.
When Mingqiao served food to everyone, he would put some food in the bowl in front of Dashu.
The adults saw it but didn't stop it.
Nightfall.
The adults, tired after a day of work, fell asleep. Ming Qiao, who was sleeping like a piglet, seemed to be poked in the butt in the middle of the night.
He frowned, scratched his butt with his chubby hands, turned over and continued to sleep.
The author has something to say:
