The roof of the house was made of ordinary thatch. Ji Hao estimated that the thatch had just been replaced with fresh thatch, that was why he could still smell the refreshing aroma of grass.
The yellow mud walls were mixed with some rice husks. The smell of the husks and the yellow mud was mixed together, giving off a very natural and pure smell. Although it wasn't as pleasant as the fragrance of flowers, sitting in the thatched cottage made one feel at ease.
The floor of the cottage was paved with flagstones. In the middle of the cottage was a zhang in radius large fire pit. A thumb-sized piece of fire magic crystal was piled in the fire pit, maintaining the temperature of the fire at all times. Large pieces of firewood were blazing, and a small water-tank-sized clay pot was hanging above the fire. The spring water contained in the pot had been bubbling happily.
Si Xi grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the pot in the corner of the cottage, threw them into two wooden cups, then sat back by the fire pit. He pointed his finger at the pot, and the boiling water in the pot flew up and poured into the wooden cups. Soon, two cups of tea with a nice aroma were ready. Si Xi handed a wooden cup to Ji Hao, grinned and said, "Kid, drink this. It's spring, I picked this tea from the mountain myself."
The spring water was sweet, and the tea had a nice aroma. The taste of the tea wasn't pure enough, but it was strong and hot enough. Once Ji Hao drank the tea, he felt a stream of hot air rush straight into his stomach. Soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Ji Hao's body.
"Uncle …" Ji Hao put down the teacup and bowed to Si Xi.
Si Xi put his hand into the burning ashes of the fire pit, and fished out a few mud balls from the ashes. He grabbed the glowing red mud balls and patted them on the flagstones beside the fire pit for a while. Then, he flicked his finger and the mud balls exploded, exposing the wild pigeons that were roasted in the mud balls with a nice aroma.
"Drink the tea and eat the meat. And, don't call me uncle. " Si Xi handed a roasted pigeon to Ji Hao, rubbed his smooth chin and said seriously, "Call me … big brother Si Xi! I'm still young, I haven't reached the stage of uncle yet! "
Ji Hao held the roasted pigeon in his hand and remained silent for quite a while. He stared at Si Xi, not knowing what to say.
He called Si Wen Ming uncle, but Si Xi was Si Wen Ming's biological father. How could he call Si Wen Ming 'big brother'?
Si Xi grinningly looked at Ji Hao, then quickly swallowed the two wild pigeons, including the bones and the meat. Only the pigeon heads, which didn't have much meat left, were thrown into the fire pit, letting out a sizzling noise. Satisfied, he picked up the wooden cup and took a big gulp of hot tea, then said with a smile, "Don't mind Wen Ming. He likes to be an uncle, so just let him be. You can call me Big Brother, we'll do our own thing. "
Letting out a hot breath with great effort, Si Xi grinned and said, "He hasn't been in the Magi Palace these days. There were some small movements in Liangzhu, so he brought some people over to guard against it. You are Ji Hao? I know you. Wen Ming told me that you're one of the children he wants me to take care of. "
Putting down the wooden cup, Si Xi said in a deep voice, "Is there any trouble? If it wasn't a big problem, you wouldn't have come looking for me. "
Even though Wen Ming had gone out for some serious business, he still remembered to ask his father to take care of him. Hearing this, Ji Hao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Calming himself down, Ji Hao told Ji Hao about how the six of them had gone out to help the Rong Mountain Clan develop a new territory, ended up falling out with the Rong Mountain Clan because of an Chaos magic crystal mine, and how they were framed by Prince Xu and Prince Wuyou.
"Elder Wulong and the others seemed to have been called to the Emperor's place for some business. I haven't been able to contact them these few days. Uncle Wen Ming said that if we encounter any trouble that we can't solve, we should come to Si Xi … Big Brother! "Ji Hao's mouth corners twitched. When he called Si Xi 'Big Brother', he didn't really mean it.
Si Xi grabbed another wild pigeon and ate it, then drank up all the tea in the wooden cup. He wiped his hands on his clothes, then picked up the confession written by Meng Ao and the other two elders, which Ji Hao had taken out, and carefully read it.
"Hehe, what a mess, what a bunch of bastards!" Si Xi gnashed his teeth and said, "Since the Magi Palace was founded, it has been for the sake of preserving the future of the humankind and continuing the civilization of the humankind. Therefore, all generations of human emperors have been devoted to the Magi Palace."
"But now, even the Magi Palace has become a filthy place, and even Meng Ao, that kind of bastard, has become an important person in the Magi Palace!" Si Xi punched hard on his own thigh and yelled angrily, "If this goes on, the humankind will perish!"
Ji Hao opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for quite a while.
Meng Ao framed him, but it didn't have anything to do with the future of the humankind, did it? However, if this was related to the style of the Magi Palace, it seemed to have something to do with the future of the humankind.
"We can't let these kids do whatever they want." Si Xi said coldly, "Do they think that the world is peaceful now? That's ridiculous. If it wasn't for that, if it wasn't for that, they would have forgotten about that horrible thing long ago, but I haven't, and our clansmen haven't. "
Si Xi abruptly stood up and shouted harshly, "Ji Hao, come with me, we're going to see Emperor Shun!"
Ji Hao was startled by Si Xi's move. He leaped up from the ground, looked at Si Xi in shock and said, "What? Brother Si Xi, you said … we're going to see Emperor Shun? You didn't say that? Emperor … Shun! "
Si Xi looked at Ji Hao in confusion, shook his head and said, "What's so strange about it? What's the big deal about seeing Shun? He only has one shoulder and one head, no more than one finger and three eyes than you. Is it really strange to see him? "
Before Ji Hao responded, Si Xi grabbed his shoulder and carried Ji Hao up, who was only as tall as his waist. He walked out of the cottage with big steps, then rose into the sky.
Ji Hao stared at Si Xi in shock. This was the first time for him to be carried up into the sky by a powerful being at the level of Magus King.
When Si Xi was flying, the natural power was calm and peaceful, which was completely different from Ji Hao, who was controlling the natural power and soaring in the air. Si Xi was purely relying on the great power contained in his body to reject the suction force from the earth, then using some kind of magical power, he was able to fly in the sky like a bird.
This was an instinct!
This meant that when a Senior Magus reached Si Xi's level, flying was just like walking, completely an instinct of his or her own. Without any help, he or she could freely travel through the air!
Ji Hao's mind was in a mess, and he thought of many things within a moment. He thought of dragons, who were born with the ability to fly in the sky, and phoenixes, who were born with the ability to fly all over the sky. Once a human being reached a certain level of cultivation, he or she would be able to fly in the sky. Was this an evolution, or the return of an instinct?
Si Xi's flying speed was incredibly fast, many times faster than Mr. Crow.
Within ten minutes, Si Xi flew to a beautiful area, landing in front of a large number of houses made of earth and wood.
Before Ji Hao had a clear look at the surrounding area, Si Xi dragged Ji Hao into a large wooden hall, which was large enough to accommodate ten-thousand people. Then, Si Xi yelled loudly to a middle-aged man, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, "Shun, someone has wronged my brother, what do you think we should do?"
Hearing Si Xi's bold words, Ji Hao almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
