Chapter 57: Sinking in a Dream and Encountering the Old Man Again
"It must be him! It must be him who took Lin Shuihan away!" Nan Kongqian said very firmly, "Could it be that he is really a 10,000-year-old tree spirit?" Luo Muli was very puzzled.
"Yes, for sure!" Nankong blurted out, "You think! He told you about this Qingdao Island! He was the one who came out in the middle of the night to row a boat to Qinghai to fish! Such a strange person! Do you think it might be an ordinary person!"
"Then what now? He must have taken Lin Shuihan to Ran Island! We have to find the location of Ran Island quickly!" Luo Muli began to get anxious, looking at the fog around him, he was clueless for a while, he didn't know where the old man had gone, and he didn't know where the so-called Ran Island was.
They walked for a long time on the Qinghai Sea, and they searched for a long time, but everywhere they went was empty, and they couldn't see half a figure at all, and gradually, the fog began to disperse, and Nankong was very happy when he saw this scene, thinking that when the fog dissipated, they could see everything on the sea.
But Luo Muli was very worried, looked up at the sky, and found that the sky in the distance had revealed some fish belly white, and a little red light began to emerge from the horizon, oh no! She began to get nervous, this is the day is about to dawn! Once the day dawns, the fog on the Qing Sea will dissipate, the sun will rise, and if this continues, the ice on the Qing Sea will melt!
At that time, she and Nankong will be finished!
"We have to find a place to settle quickly, otherwise when the sun rises, we will all fall to the bottom of the Qinghai Sea!" Luo Muli turned his head and said to Nankong, but at this time, the fog gradually dissipated, and everything around began to become clear, the two looked around, and finally saw Ran Island at this time, but that Ran Island was too far away from them, and they were confused.
The clouds in the sky were gradually dyed red, and the golden light instantly swayed on the surface of Qinghai Sea, and a burst of golden light was reflected on the ice, Luo Muli and Nan Kong Qian only felt that the ice under their feet began to crack, Luo Muli yelled that it was not good, and pulled Nan Kong Qian in the direction of Ran Island!
The ice under his feet quickly cracked, and there was a sparse commotion behind him, Nankong looked back and found that the ice in the distance had begun to melt, he was shocked, and he shouted with a shout of 'ah' and grabbed Luo Muli with his backhand and ran faster, but it was too late! The ice in the distance had spread to their feet in an instant, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the two of them fell into the sea in a hurry!
Suddenly, as if the east was rising, a golden light shone on the surface of the Qinghai Sea, sparkling waves.
At the bottom of the sea, Nankong Qian and Luo Muli struggled desperately, but they sank vigorously, as if they were about to sink to the bottom of the sea, Luo Muli's face was helpless and desperate, gradually, she gave up the struggle, chose to go with the flow, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea......
"Ning Xi!" Lin Shui Han was startled, waking up from the nightmare, in the dream, Ning Xi fell into a deep sea, she struggled powerlessly, wanted to go ashore, but it sank deeper and lower, he watched her fall but could not do anything...... It took Lin Shuihan a long time to come back to his senses from his dream, and after taking two breaths, he found himself lying in a strange place.
"Where is this?" he muttered to himself, confused, and found himself lying on a stone bench, surrounded by what seemed to be an old wood, utterly silent, except for the endless old trees, which overlapped and overlapped, and somewhat gloomy, and when he looked up, there were all intertwined branches.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a sound startled Lin Shuihan, he followed the sound and saw an old man standing there, looking at him with a smile, he immediately raised his vigilance and asked cautiously, "Are you?"
"Don't you remember me, kid?" said the old man, smiling and kind.
Lin Shuihan looked at his appearance and thought about it, and felt that he was indeed a little familiar,...... "Oh! I know!" He suddenly realized, "Are you ...... That old man in the North Barbarian!?"
"Remember?" The old man walked up to him and sat down to look at him, Lin Shuihan looked surprised, "Old man, why are you, why are you here? What kind of place is this?"
"This is where I live. ”
"Huh?" Lin Shuihan was a little surprised, "You live in such a place?"
"What, can't you look down?" the old man raised his eyebrows.
Lin Shuihan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm just surprised, old man, you are so old, why don't you stay with your family, instead, you will live in such a deep and gray wood." Lin Shuihan said as he looked around.
The old man sighed and said, "It's not for you!"
"For me?" Lin Shuihan was startled, and turned to look at the old man, "This, what does it have to do with me?"
"It's not that I saw that your kid was wearing a wooden ring and was pitiful, so I want to help you find another person!" the old man said very indifferently, but Lin Shuihan was dumbfounded, and felt very helpless about it, "No, it won't!"
"Of course! I care about that!"
The old man said very seriously, but Lin Shuihan didn't understand, and said very embarrassedly: "Old man, you are really stubborn......
"But I've found it!" the old man approached Lin Shuihan with a smile and said in his ear, "Her name is Bai Ningxi, isn't it?"
Lin Shuihan's heart trembled when he heard these three words, then lowered his eyes and shook his head, "No, it's not, her name is Mu Li, Luo Mu Li." ”
"Then you have been calling Ning Xi just now!" The old man looked at him very puzzled, then stood up and walked towards the depths of the woods, Lin Shuihan saw him go and immediately chased after him, and asked at his side:
"Grandpa, how did I get here?"
"Your friend sent you here. ”
"Then where is my friend, why didn't I see it?"
"You'll see it soon on the way here!"
"But......" Lin Shuihan just wanted to speak, the old man tore a branch from the tree and handed it to him, he was puzzled, "This is?"
"Let's try it, can you set it on fire?"
"How is this possible?!" Lin Shuihan waved his hand, "Grandpa, I'm a person, I don't know any spells!" As soon as Lin Shuihan finished speaking, the old man stuffed the branch into his hand, but in the blink of an eye, the branch rose white smoke, and then quickly ignited the flames, Lin Shuihan was shocked, and immediately threw away the branch, with a stunned and panicked look, the old man looked at him calmly, looked at him thoughtfully, and then cast a spell to extinguish the flame, and then continued to move forward.
Lin Shuihan saw him leave and chased after him, "Grandpa, what's going on?"
"It's normal, when you fall asleep, your whole body is hot, like fire, if it hadn't burned out my wooden bed, how could I let you sleep on a stone bench!"
"This ...... What the hell is going on?"
"How do I know, I guess it's because of your own physique, whenever you're about to die, your body burns brightly, like a bath in fire. When the old man said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Shuihan very interestingly, approached him with a smile and said, "Hey! This is quite similar to that divine beast phoenix, phoenix nirvana, reborn from the fire!"
Lin Shuihan gradually slowed down when he heard this, and the old man's words began to echo in his mind, 'Phoenix Nirvana is reborn from the fire...... Could it be that he is a phoenix?
"How is this possible?!" Lin Shuihan felt very incredible, when he saw that the old man was about to disappear when he walked away, he was anxious again, and hurriedly chased after him, "Old man, wait for me!"
"Grandpa, do you mean, I'm a phoenix?"
"I didn't say that, I'm just making an analogy. ”
"Then why did my body get so hot like fire, and I almost burned that branch just now!"
"Oh, it's just a twig, what's the big deal!"
"That ......"
The two of them are like this, you say a word, I say a word, one after the other, shuttle in this woods, this forest seems to be boundless, how can you not see the end, the woods are lush, looking from afar, like a dark green deep sea, boundless.
On the other side, on the shore of Ran Island, Nan Kongqian and Luo Muli finally swam ashore, but fortunately, the two of them knew some water nature, so they would not be drowned in the Qinghai Sea.
The two of them were wet, and Nankong was the first to go ashore, turning his head to see Luo Muli's situation, but when he saw that she was wet all over her body, he immediately turned around, and was stunned for a moment at a loss.
Luo Muli was not so restrained, seeing that he turned around and froze in place, he took advantage of this time to wring out and tear off part of the skirt under his clothes, and wrapped it around his upper body as a shawl, and then tidied up his wet hair, and then walked to Nan Kongqian's side, glanced at him, and said softly: "Let's go." ”
Nankong looked at Luo Muli's back, and suddenly felt that she was really fearless, if it was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be stunned in place and at a loss, and she could actually think of tearing off the hem of her skirt and wrapping it around her upper body, Nankong Qian shook her head, and couldn't help but sigh, she really deserves to be the eldest lady of the Silk Pavilion!
The two of them walked on Ran Island one after the other, and walked in an old forest for a while, Luo Muli suddenly heard a strange sound, and immediately stopped, and Nan Kongqian immediately became vigilant behind her, "What's wrong?"
"It seems that someone ......," Luo Muli said quietly.
"Could it be Lin Shuihan?" Before Nan Kongqian's words fell, Lin Shuihan walked out of the woods, and was immediately overjoyed the moment he saw Nan Kongqian and Luo Muli, "You are here?"
