Make home in the bird's nest

Shitou is actually very serious. After finding a way, he sat for a whole morning and even forgot his lunch.

In order to allow Shi Shi to practice better, he also made Wu Li for lunch. After he was done, he asked Shi Shi to come down to eat, and then found that his tableware was missing.

Shi Shi was thinking about the eggs, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Seeing Wu Li walking around in the kitchen, he asked, "Wuli, why don't you come to eat? The dishes are getting cold."

"You eat first, I'll come later." Wu Li's anxious voice came from the kitchen, and then there was another "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sound of turning over debris.

Shi Shi took a mouthful of rice and walked into the kitchen with the bowl in his hand.

"What are you looking for? Look after dinner!" Shitou said.

Wu Li squatted under the cupboard and rummaged around. When he saw the stone coming, he gave him a guilty look and said sullenly, "The wooden claw you made for me is gone. I washed it last night and put it here."

Shi Shi also came over to have a look, seeing that Wu Li was in a hurry, he smiled and said, "Forget it if it's gone, I'm making one for you."

Wu Li squatted sullenly for a while, then stood up and walked towards the stone.

"Hee hee...it's okay, come on, I'll feed you." Shitou and Wu Li walked to the open-air dining table, and held Wu Li's bowl in front of him.

Wu Li's complexion improved a lot, his heart was finally not in vain, and he opened his mouth to swallow the food brought to his mouth.

Shitou continued to practice in the afternoon, and Wu Li saw that he had mastered the method, so he went out to look for spiritual herbs.

There is no shortage of spirits in the Fairy Spirit Valley. Wu Li brought back a hundred-year-old spirit-gathering grass that night, and the effect was immediate after taking it to Shi Shi. People who had never practiced Shi Shi felt that they had absorbed a lot more aura.

In the following days, Wu Li found a variety of herbal medicines. In contrast, Juling grass is currently the most helpful to the stone.Juling Grass is also quite common in Fairy Spirit Valley, and Wuli would bring back a decades-old Juling Grass every day.

The cultivation speed of the auxiliary stones with spirit grass is also far lower than that of ordinary black birds. These stones do not know, but he also feels that he is very useless. Sometimes he is not sure whether the spirit energy he feels really exists, not his. illusion.

Wu Li thought for a while, and took the stone out of Fairy Spirit Valley, so that he could feel the aura of ordinary places.The aura of the Fairy Spirit Valley was several times stronger than the outside world, and the stones really couldn't feel anything outside, so I was sure that I didn't feel wrong.

After a month like this, Shi Shi managed to find the threshold of the first level of Qi refining with the help of the spirit grass.

Wu Li became more and more anxious, hardly leaving home during the day, looking for better treasures of heaven and earth all day long.

Shi Shi calmed down, and wrapped the bird's egg between his legs, and it took a long time before he knew it.

On this day, Shi Shi was meditating seriously as usual, when suddenly he felt his thigh was rubbed by something, and squeezed against his thigh a few times, his pants seemed to be wet.

Shitou closed his eyes and was slightly stunned. Thinking of something, his body suddenly stopped, and he immediately opened his eyes and quickly lifted the quilt.

A wet little black bird came into the stone's eyes.

"My God...Wuli! Wuli!" Shitou yelled in surprise, only then remembered that Wuli was not at home.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" The soaked little bird of prey stood up tremblingly, looking pitifully at the stone and chirping. His eyes hadn't opened yet, and his bright yellow eyelids were covered with transparent mucus, which made him look good. Pitiful.

"Ah, my dear." Shito carefully picked up the bird, and the first impression was that it was quite heavy.The feathers on the chick's body were all wet, Shi Shi picked up a towel and covered him.

The little black raptor struggled to get out of the towel, and gently pecked at the stone's hand with its bright yellow translucent beak, as if begging for food.

Stone sensed the child's desire, looked around, and for the first time was dissatisfied that there were no insects in the tree hole.

"I don't know if the newly hatched bird can eat millet, so I'd better wait for Wuli to come back and ask!" Shi Shi hugged the bird like a baby, and shook it apologetically: "Little bird, wait for Daddy to come back." I'll give you something to eat."

"Chirp~chirp~" The baby bird's voice was also soft, kicking its tiny legs and thumping in the bosom of the stone.

Seeing that the child didn't like being held by him like this, Shitou quickly changed the way of holding him, supported him with two arms, then looked down at the remaining eggs, and found that they were shaking slightly a few times.

Shitou was excited, and hurriedly took out the eggs and put them on the hay, and picked out the eggshells.Originally, I wanted to throw away the eggshell, but suddenly felt reluctance to part with it. After all, it also fell from my own stomach.After hesitating for a while, the stone put the eggshell next to the bird's egg.

When Wu Li came back, his expression was agitated, and when he entered the tree hole and found that the stone was practicing unruly, he immediately put on a straight face.He gave up his own practice for Shitou's cultivation, but Shitou didn't work hard, and he didn't make any progress for so many days, so why didn't he feel anxious or angry.

Before Wu Li had time to say anything, Shi Shi turned his head with a smile: "You are back, come and see, the birds have broken their shells!"

"Chirp~"

"Chirp~"

As if to confirm Shi Shi's words, the two chicks cried out at the same time, and the soft voice made people's hearts soften.

Wu Li was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the bird's egg had been born for two months, and it was time to hatch.During this period of time, I worked so hard on the stone that I forgot about the children.

Wu Li was overjoyed immediately, and walked over quickly: "Let me see, are they all out?"

"There's one more." Shitou made way for Wu Li, and pulled him down to squat down: "It's a good thing you came back early, let's watch the third child hatch together."

"Yeah." Wu Li's nerves, which had been tense for a month, temporarily relaxed. He took a bird from the hand of the stone, and gently touched his head. It felt so small that it would break if he pinched it hard. , the movement couldn't help but become softer.

Shi Shi tilted his head to look at Wu Li, and was suddenly touched by Wu Li's serious and careful expression, and couldn't help being stunned.

Having been with Wu Li for a year, he has seen more of his cruelty, bloodthirsty, and violence. After coming to the Fairy Valley, he began to become gentle, but it is also rare. This is the first time he has seen such a tender side of Wu Li.He has always regarded Wu Li as an adult and relied on him. In fact, in the final analysis, Wu Li is only two years older than him, and he is also a new father.

Wu Li seemed to have a feeling, holding the child and looking at Shi Shi, seeing him looking at him affectionately, his heart throbbed, and he couldn't help feeling distracted.

Wu Li quickly came back to his senses, and said sternly: "It's just spring, and I'm in love again. We can't have children this year, you have to hurry up and practice."

Stone:"……"

"I... no!" Shitou blushed, his eyes were erratic.

Suddenly, the bird egg made a crisp "click" sound.

Shi Shi seemed to have found a savior, and quickly pointed to the bird's egg and said, "Look, the third child is out!"

"Chirp~" The third child got his head out of the eggshell, closed his eyes and yelled at the stone, stepped on the eggshell and staggered out, turned somersault accidentally, and immediately stood up writhing, The trembling body also has great strength.

Wu Li hurriedly scratched off the mucus on the chick's body with his nails, glanced at the stone and said, "You concentrate on practicing during the day, and we are doing what you like to do at night."

"What do you like to do?" Shi Shi looked at Wu Li suspiciously, and when he got the answer from his eyes, blood rushed straight to his head.

"I..." Shitou wanted to cry, but he was ashamed, but it was undeniable that he really liked it, so he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he lowered his head and steamed his face into crab red.

Wu Li just pretended to be a stone, rubbed his head comfortingly, and took out a fist-sized snow-white fruit from the ring: "I went to Mount Baitou today and found a thousand-year-old snow vine, eating it can make you feel healthy." Improve your cultivation for ten years."

"Really?" Stone took it and put it under his nose to sniff, as if he could still smell the snow.

"What about you? Let's be half of each other." Shitou said.

Wu Li lowered his head and embraced the three little birds, teasing them casually, saying: "I don't need it, it won't help me much."

"Really?" Shi Shi looked at Wu Li suspiciously.

"Well, my cultivation base is relatively high, so it doesn't have that much effect on me." Wu Li quickly changed the subject: "It is said on the jade paper that if you can eat the rhizome of snow vine, you can reshape the tendons and open up the veins. Improve the efficiency several times." As he spoke, he frowned, his eyes were dim, and he lowered his voice unconsciously, "It's a pity that there are snow monkeys guarding there. I only took the opportunity to steal a few today, and you eat one a day. , I'll go get it in a few days."

Wu Li secretly swore in his heart: He must get that snow vine root!

"Is it very powerful?" Shito asked worriedly, "If it's dangerous, don't go there. Safety is the most important thing."

Wu Li's brows loosened, and his eyes softened: "I know, I want to protect you, don't mess around, you eat Xueguo quickly."

Stone heaved a sigh of relief, and obediently took a bite of the fruit.The taste of snow fruit is also the same as that of snow water, with a faint sweetness that seems to be absent. The flesh is cold and ice, and it melts in the mouth.

After eating the fruit in twos and threes, Shi Shi suddenly let out a muffled snort.

"What's wrong?" Wu Li asked anxiously, putting the little bird aside.

"I don't know, it's so hot." Stone held his stomach and said with restraint.He only felt an extremely cold and powerful air flow rising from his body, and his abdomen was so cold that it became hot, which turned into a burning sensation.

"Meditate, dissolve it." Wu Li said anxiously, reaching out his hand to touch the stone's forehead, the tentacles were cold, but the stone screamed hot.

"Yeah." Shi Shi immediately sat cross-legged, with his hands on his knees naturally.

The cold current in his body churned endlessly, and Shi Shi felt that his internal organs were almost frozen, as if an invisible big hand was holding him.Closing his eyes, following Wu Li's usual method of guiding him, he ran tremblingly for a week, and the extremely cold air turned into powerful spiritual energy, rushing into his dantian like a tide.

It was only then that Shitou recalled in a daze that he had eaten Xueguo. This practice method of soaring aura was what he usually felt after taking medicine, but this time it was dozens of times stronger than usual, no wonder he couldn't bear it for a while.

Shitou calmed down and resolved it methodically.

"Jiujiu~" There are a group of hungry and crazy chicks walking towards the stone, Wu Li impatiently put them outside the nest, put the eggshells in front of them, and said coldly: "If you are hungry, you can eat it." Eat eggshells."

"Chirp~chirp." The chick's first call was soft and waxy, and Wu Li hit it hard on the second call. He quickly shrank his neck and obediently gnawed on the eggshell.

The tree hole finally became quiet, with only the pecking sound of "da da da". After a while, the chicks finished eating the eggshells, and there was no sound at all.

A cold air emanated from the top of the stone, and the face that had been turned pale by the cold gradually recovered its color, but it was as white as ice and snow, without a trace of blood. From time to time, fine sweat condensed, but hoarfrost formed on the hair.

Wu Li took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Shishi's face, and found that the temperature of Shishi was lower than before, and his heart was raised.It was because he was too impatient, but fortunately, Shishi was already proficient in luck, otherwise he would definitely explode and die.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky gradually darkened.

The chicks who had eaten all their shells yelled again, with their heads up and their mouths open, chirping, chirping, and a huge bright yellow beak could be seen all over the bird's head.

"Don't make noise." Wu Li said sharply.

The chicks immediately closed their mouths, and the three little ones shrank together.The temperature in the tree hole was much lower than at noon, and I don't know if it was because of the darkness.

"Why are you so fierce to them, and let them eat eggshells." Shitou opened his eyes and smiled lightly.

Wu Li was overjoyed: "You succeeded?" As he spoke, he quickly grabbed Shi Shi's hand, and said pleasantly: "The second level of Qi refining, and he has been promoted to two levels." Easy to succeed.

"Really?" Stone felt refreshed, without a trace of fatigue, and his vision was unprecedentedly clear. Even though it was dusk, a strand of spider silk in the corner of the tree hole could be clearly seen.Well, go get it off later.

It's just... the stone moved its nose, where did the strange smell come from?

Wu Li smiled and said, "This is the filth in your body."

Stone dazedly wiped his face, his hands were greasy, and when he looked down, it was completely black.

"It's so dirty." Stone pulled up his sleeves and looked at it. There was even a layer of disgusting dirt on his arm, and he turned around shyly: "Don't stare at me."

Wu Li smiled for the first time in a month, and said softly, "I'm going to boil the water."

"What about the little birds? You haven't fed them yet, have you?" Stone reached out to pick up a baby bird, and touched his stomach, which was flat, and his heart ached.

Wu Li glanced at them, felt a rare sense of guilt, and said, "I'll find food for them tonight."

Hearing Wu Li's hard work, Shi Shi felt even more sorry for Wu Li. He had really worked so hard during this time.

After taking a bath, the stone feels lighter in the body.At night, he and the three children were alone in bed, and Wu Li went out to find food suitable for the chicks.

The children were so hungry that they howled once or twice from time to time.Shi Shi wanted to comfort them, but when he coaxed them, he barked even more vigorously, so he had no choice but to ignore them and lie on the bed with them in his arms.

At the end of the moon, Wu Li came back with a bag of big, fleshy worms.

The stone woke up the drowsy little birds. When they saw the wriggling long strips, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and they silently turned their heads away.

The chicks were full, and the three little birds huddled together and soon fell asleep.

"Let's sleep too, you are exhausted today." Shitou went up to help Wu Li undress, but Wu Li avoided him.

"No, I'll go out and take a shower." Wu Li avoided Shi Shi's hand, went to the closet and found a suit of clothes.

Shitou: "It's too late, don't wash today."

"I'll be back soon." Wu Li said to the stone, walked to the tree hole, and jumped down with his clothes in his arms.

Shi Shi chased to the entrance of the cave and watched Wu Li's figure go away quickly.

Strange, didn't you just wash it yesterday?Usually, Wuli only washes once every three or four days, but he forced her to do so, why is she so diligent today?

Shi Shi's body was still cold, when a gust of night wind blew, the hairs all over his body stood up instantly, and he shivered.

Shi Shi trotted back to the bird's nest, and shivered into the quilt, he was really cold to death today.

"Chirp~" A little bird moved, found a comfortable position in the bosom of the stone, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shi Shi also quickly fell asleep. In a daze, he felt the damp Wu Li slip into the bed, moaned softly, turned over and hugged Wu Li, and fell asleep more securely.

The next day.

"Today we learn to fly." Wu Li landed on the top of the tree with a stone, serious and authentic.

"Fly...fly?" Shitou looked at Wuli in astonishment, and pointed to himself: "Me?"

Wu Li looked at Shishi seriously and said, "I've thought about it, but if you can control the airflow, you can fly. You can start to learn to control the airflow at the second level of Qi Refining. Shitou, you should find out how you feel first."

"I..." Stone stood crookedly on the branch, holding Wuli's arm tightly, looking up, suddenly dizzy, and his voice trembled: "I...I can't do it, I can't do it again. No wings."

"Don't you have wings, brother?" Wu Li asked patiently.

Shi Shi thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "Okay then, I'll try, don't let go."

"Okay." Wu Li said, "Close your eyes and keep your balance first."

"Ah."

From then on, Shitou's schedule had an extra hour of standing tree homework.

The chicks who have just hatched are the least hungry, and they start to quarrel an hour after they are full.

"Wu...Wuli~, you said to stand for an hour, the time is up." Shi Shi tremblingly said: "The children are also hungry, you go find food for them, I will go inside and meditate."

Wu Li looked at the sky and flew down with his arms around the stone.In the afternoon, Shi Shi took another snow fruit and successfully advanced to the third level of Qi Refining.Taking the last snow fruit on the third day, there is no advancement, it just consolidates the realm.

Seeing that the children were growing up, they finally opened their eyes after half a month. Their dark eyes were as bright as dots of ink.

It was already March in Yangchun, and the Fairy Spirit Valley became lively, with restless birdsong coming from all directions.

Wu Li was also restless.

On this day, the family lay on the bed in the bird's nest early.Wu Li and Shi Shi lay side by side, and the three little guys fell asleep at their feet.

"Stone, are you tired today?" Wu Li asked.

Shitou: "I'm not tired."

Wu Li gently stretched out his wings and placed them on Shishi's chest.Stone opened his eyes and breathed slowly.

After a while, Wu Li asked in confusion, "Why don't you touch me?"

"What am I touching you for?" Shi Shi suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He had indeed touched Wu Li's wings, and Wu Li was later dubbed lewd by Wu Li.Last autumn, Wu Li also often asked him if he was tired, and he was not happy after asking, which made him puzzled for a long time.

Wu Li was bored for a while, and suddenly said slowly: "It's spring now."

"I know." Shitou smiled: "The weather will be warm soon, we can go out to buy, the condiments are all used up, and the vegetable plots that have been tidied up can also be bought and planted. Hehe, this time we can buy There are many, and you can put back the storage ring.” After entering the second level of Qi Refining, he was able to use the storage ring, which made Shi Shi excited for several days.

Wu Li's face turned dark immediately, and he suddenly turned over and pressed against the stone, looked at him with burning eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "It's spring now!"

Shitou's heart beat faster: "So?...Spring!" Shitou's voice suddenly raised his voice: "You don't know...that, do you?"

Wu Li glanced at Shi Shi fiercely, bit Shi Shi's mouth, and didn't look at his innocent expression. He pulled Shi Shi's clothes impatiently, and said angrily: When it's mating season, this stupid stone is still silent Yes, I'm really pissed off.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu whoa!" Shitou heard the "chirp" sound of the chicks in a trance.

Afraid of disturbing the children, the stone did not dare to move around, and accepted Wu Li obediently.

The next day, Wu Li felt refreshed all over, Shi Shi practiced hard for a month and a half, and finally had a half-day vacation.
