Chapter 231 Xilang's Wish
"What? Are you a fox demon raised by Pu Songling? What happened to Liu Quan Yagi is part of "The Mian Yue Jue"? That is the secret book created to turn you into a human being? You and Pu Songling's descendants are also looking for Liu Quan Yagi? You went to Guangxi Immortal Sword Hall and experienced its destruction? You had met Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants in Xianying Palace last night?" After listening to Chen Shuqing's story, Yu Xiangdi really couldn't believe his ears, and he breathed a lot of questions like a cannon.
It was really hard for him to imagine that the woman who happened to meet in front of him had so many interactions with him. Excited, he stepped forward, pressed Xilang's shoulder with both hands and asked anxiously: "Girl, do you know who the guardian of the Old Temple is? How is the sword technique?"
Peiruo, Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu looked at the scene in amazement, and Xilang reminded awkwardly: "Brother Yu, I am Xilang, Miss Shuqing is there."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. Looking at me, my emotions will be chaotic, and when I feel emotional, my ability to perceive Fengyu will be disordered." Then I turned my head to Chen Shuqing's side. I was about to reach out, but suddenly I was embarrassed to make physical contact. I retracted my hand and bowed, and said earnestly: "Let me give me some advice."
Chen Shuqing recalled the scene when he was seriously injured by Zhu Yeba last night. He felt scared and said in a deep voice: "The man called himself Zhu Yeba, an ordinary human, but his skills are indeed extraordinary. Just talking about swordsmanship, he looks a little higher than Zhu Shihua, the owner of the Immortal Sword Hall. If you get his true teaching, your strength will definitely be higher. But if you want to defeat a demon king-level opponent like the Black Mountain Old Demon, it will still be a dream in a short time. However, since we have a common goal, we might as well wait until the dispute between the two tribes of the turtle will end, and we will join us to do it together. I wonder what to do?"
Yu Xiangdi said happily: "Haha, it turns out that the enemy is a friend. If Miss Shuqing and Xiaoshu are willing to help, I will never ask for it. However, Liuquan Yamu is the relics of Mr. Pu Songling. Is the girl willing to..."
Chen Shuqing heard Yu Xiangdi's implicit voice, smiled and said, "It's okay, I need those pieces, just to make up the complete secret book of "Huanyue Jue" and become a human, so I can only use it once. After this lifelong pursuit is completed, you can take the piece that is circulated by your family by yourself. Before that, you can also temporarily store it on your body, as long as it is not in the hands of the demon world."
“That’s great.”
Next, the few people talked about some trivial matters on the journey, and when it was completely dark, they dispersed without any loss. Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu naturally could not sleep in the same room. Under Peiruo's arrangement, Chen Shuqing returned to the wooden house before resting, and Sun Xiaoshu moved to another room, explained some precautions, and went back to the base to rest.
At night, Chen Shuqing recalled the strange things she experienced this day, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a long time. She always felt that Pu Zixuan would not disappear from her world so unknown. The past they experienced together told her that they were too many things, and their separation was always short-lived. Perhaps just an inadvertent turn would suddenly appear in front of each other, causing all nightmares to dissipate.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuqing turned out of bed again, walked outside the house, and took advantage of the moonlight to move forward aimlessly. The vast Poyang Lake was calm at this time, and the reflection of the bright moon reflected the moon in the sky. If you look closely, even the starry sky in the sky appeared faintly on the lake. It was the good time for the clear and cool autumn, and Chen Shuqing couldn't help but walk to the lakeside and looked towards the north of the devil's waters, but the irregular shadows of the mountains and steep mountains had isolated Mount Lu from afar, and the aura of his sweetheart never appeared anywhere.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I met Pu Zixuan, I haven’t appeared alone at night. The dilapidated wooden house and pure nature, whether it was waiting for Mr. Pu Songling in the cave or living in a deep mountain hut, this feeling is so familiar for more than a hundred years.
"It's time to have a good conversation with me." Chen Shuqing sighed lightly, then retracted her gaze and looked at the lake again. The light was very dark, and Chen Shuqing couldn't see her reflection clearly, so she luckily gathered a ball of red light on her hands to illuminate her face in the water.
"Xiaojiu..." Chen Shuqing called out to the reflection in the water by imitating Pu Zixuan's name, and then gave herself a smile in response.
I was immersed in my own world, suddenly, the reflection in the water swayed violently until he was out of shape. A pair of crocodile eyes suddenly opened in front of Chen Shuqing. Then, his long mouth and countless bulging backs also surfaced, frightening Chen Shuqing backwards.
"Miss Shuqing, don't be afraid, it's me." The crocodile slapped the shore with its front paws, suddenly soared into the air, and changed into a young man wearing scales in the air, and then landed behind Chen Shuqing.
Chen Shuqing turned around and recognized that this was Xilang in Bai Tian. She was surprised and said, "Xilang, why are you here? What about the others?"
"Shh--" Xilang used gesture to signal Chen Shuqing to lower his voice and said, "The grandmother has woken up. I came up quietly with the elder to see you without hiding it. During the day, I don't have the chance to chat with you alone. In fact, I still have a lot of things to ask you..."
Chen Shuqing instinctively thought of something and replied: "Xilang, it's impossible for us."
Xilang smiled and said, "I know that I have no intention of obeying the marriage of my grandmother. Each of us is free, not to mention that I already have a lover."
Chen Shuqing's heart was relieved and asked with a smile: "Oh? Who is it? I won't introduce it to my sister."
Xilang was silent for a moment and asked back, "I'll ask you first, Sister Shuqing, the grandmother said you are very beautiful, but I can't see what "beauty" is, can you see it?"
Chen Shuqing smiled knowingly and said, "Whether you look beautiful or not is the standard in the world. When I was young, I couldn't tell at all, but everyone said I was beautiful, so I just took myself as my standard. When I was in my forties or fifties, I gradually made some judgments. For us monsters, it is very difficult to distinguish these concepts... Xilang, are you still a young monster?"
"Well, I'm only seventeen years old. But if you talk about the word "beauty", the only thing that makes me feel this way is a girl named Navi."
"Oh?" Chen Shuqing said curiously, "What does that Navi look like? Are you big eyes, slender mouth, and slender body?"
Xilang shook his head and smiled sadly, "I'm going to tell you, Navi is a girl from the Crown. One day, I came to the land and wanted to see how big the world is. Unfortunately, if our Crowns stayed on the land for twelve hours in a row, they would die of water. So, I walked a long way, and when six hours arrived, I hurried back. As a result, on the road, I met a Crown girl, who had the same dream as me, but fainted on the side of the road due to lack of physical strength. So I carried her back and agreed with her that one day we would overcome the limitations of twelve hours and I would take her to the ends of the world."
"It's really a romantic relationship. But can you intermarry between the two tribes?"
Xilang nodded and said, "Once upon a time, our turtle tribe was indeed an xenophobic race. At the bottom of this lake, there were about two thousand turtle tribes living, but most of them were wild monsters or semi-opened monsters. Their vision was only this poor Poyang Lake. After Elder Peiruo had wisdom, he knew that the world was bigger than we imagined, but he was worried that the outside world would attack us Poyang Lake, so he opposed us intermarriage with foreigners. On the contrary, Madame Marsha was more open-minded.
She also wanted to know the truth of the world, but the conceivable way was not to develop into the outside world, but to advocate attracting foreign races to Poyang Lake and marry us. Therefore, I planned to show my relationship with Navi to her and ask her to testify for our marriage. I believe that my grandparents will definitely support us very much. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two races has deteriorated so much over the past year. If a war really starts, Navi will become my enemy!"
Chen Shuqing sighed, "So that's it. I thought that you two tribes are really incompatible. It turns out that there are still young people like you who yearn for peace."
Xilang raised his head, looked at Chen Shuqing's eyes sincerely, and asked with hope: "Sister Shuqing, you said that Mr. Pu Songling had written a story about our race. Did the story say that we really can't stay on land for twelve hours?"
Chen Shuqing really didn't expect Xi Lang to raise this question, and was stunned for a moment and recalled: "I am familiar with "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but the description of the turtle tribe in the article "Zhu Po Long" does not mention this twelve-hour issue, maybe the sir doesn't know either. But why did you ask me? Can't you understand your own body?"
Xilang smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that when I said twelve hours, my ancestors have educated the next generation since ancient times. Therefore, the tribe members agree with it, and no one has touched this red line. However, when I stayed back to the lake for twelve hours in a row, I felt that everything was normal and there were no bad signs, so I had some doubts about this."
Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "Then I'll just try again?"
"Forget it." Xilang shook his head and said, "It's almost a war. Now that Navi is gone, how can I have the heart to do these experiments? In fact, I still don't understand the problem. During the day, you said that a naturally formed lake should not shrink so quickly. I also took this sentence to heart, because I have always suspected that there were some bad people who were striking behind their backs and trying to drain the water of Poyang Lake, so that our tribe members would become extinct from now on!"
Chen Shuqing was stunned, her eyes widened and asked, "Is it a turtle?"
"No, the turtle tribes also have the saying that they cannot go ashore for twelve hours in a row. Therefore, if they do this, it will definitely be a loss-making approach. They will not be so stupid."
"Why do you think this way?"
"That's because..." Xilang said, "Forget it, I discovered some strange situations around Poyang Lake. However, I still need to take some time to prove the truth. When I have a preliminary answer, I will come to communicate with you again. It's getting late, so I have to go back to avoid being discovered by my grandmother. Sister Shuqing should also take a break soon."
"Okay, if there is anything to do with my sister, please speak up." After saying that, Chen Shuqing watched Xilang walk towards the lake. Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted, "Wait a minute, Xilang."
Xilang turned around and asked, "Is there anything else for Sister Shuqing?"
Chen Shuqing smiled slightly and said, "If you follow the standards of the world, Xilang's appearance is also a beautiful boy."
