Chapter 39: The Pearl Country
Qingmei recognized that Hua Ting was wearing the clothes of the Fog Hidden Sect, and stood on Hua Ting's side with Chu Xiqing, and at this time, the two stopped arguing when they saw someone coming. The person opposite www.biquge.info the Pavilion was dressed in the costume of the Sword Qi Sect, holding a long sword with white light in his hand, and seeing that Hua Ting had a helper coming, he angrily flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Chu Xiqing waited for Hua Ting to take the initiative to speak, but he didn't expect to see Hua Ting still looking at a vermilion stone in his hand in a daze, so he had to ask himself first, "Uncle, what about the others?" ”
Hua Ting came back to his senses at this time, "I was separated from your master, how can you be with the disciples of Hua Getang?" ”
Chu Xiqing talked about what happened, and Hua Ting glanced at the two of them appreciatively, "I didn't expect your experience to be very exciting." ”
Hua Ting didn't say what happened just now, and continued to walk forward with Qingmei and Chu Xiqing. After walking for a while, the number of peach blossoms became smaller and smaller, and Chu Xiqing vaguely saw that there was a desert in front of him.
"Uncle Shi, are we not going down the wrong path?" Chu pointed out worriedly.
"There is no right or wrong route here." Hua Ting finished speaking and did not answer.
If you practice qi above level 3, you don't feel the sun and hunger, but Chu Xiqing feels uncomfortable with thirst because of the scorching sun at this time, and the beads of sweat can't help rolling down, and then you can see that your eyebrows are like this. Chu Xiqing pinched a spell and wanted to summon the clear spring of the water system to relieve it, but found that his spiritual power was empty. Finding her making the spell Qingquan kindly remind, "Don't be busy in vain, we can't use spells here." ”
Could it be that you have entered a phantom array again? Chu Xiqing felt a burst of irritability in her heart, since she entered the Peach Blossom Forest, she didn't know what was true and what was fake. Leaving a trail of footprints in the desert, where even the ability to use magic weapons was lost, the three of them could only slowly toss and turn.
At this time, the sun was in full bloom, Chu Xiqing was already exhausted, and suddenly saw an oasis in front of him, and immediately looked at Hua Ting inquiringly, and Hua Ting walked over silently. In the center of the oasis was a small lake, obscured by the green shade hanging from the shore, and the three of them observed for a while, and only then picked up the water and began to drink it under Hua Ting's safe gaze. Chu Xiqing felt that she had never been so embarrassed, thirsty, hungry and tired, and there was no appearance that she was not stained by the world. The scenery here is good, although the lake is not big, but it seems to be bottomless, the line of sight leaves the lake and goes up, as far as the eye can see, it is a beautiful purple fruit, the signal from the stomach makes her want to pick, she looks around for a long time, and makes sure that there is no danger, she pulls out the flying sword on her waist to reach the fruit. Then she heard a small voice: "Don't go fruit picking." A head popped out of the inlet in the distance, startling Chu Xiqing, and immediately raised the sword to his chest.
A man from a distance swam over, and it was a mermaid to be exact, with the lower half of his body in the shape of a fish, and the scales of the fish showed a bewitching luster in the refraction of the sun. Chu Xiqing raised his eyes and looked, only to find that Hua Ting and Qingmei were talking, with their backs to here. She is the first time to see the real merman, only in the ancient books have read about them, this is an ancient creature, kind nature, kind face, living in the rivers, lakes and seas, the tears that fall will become pearls, because of this reason, the merman almost suffered a catastrophe, under the leadership of an ancestor, they went to the deeper and farther waters, and no longer easily appeared in front of everyone, in front of this merman at this time is really weak but cowardly looking at himself.
"Don't tell anyone, I won't hurt you." The merman's voice was small and weak, and he seemed to be very scared, and that pleasant voice made Chu Xiqing relax his vigilance somewhat.
"Why can't you pick fruit?" Chu Xiqing was very curious.
"That can't be said, you are passers-by, from the Peach Blossom Forest?" The merman asked again.
Chu Xiqing nodded, "Why are you here?" ”
"I live here, I am familiar with every plant and tree here, please leave as soon as you drink water, otherwise, you will run into trouble." After the merman finished speaking, he swam away.
Chu Xiqing wanted to stop the merman but found that he couldn't see the other party's figure, and the speed was really fast. So he walked quickly to the side of Hua Ting and the two of them, and was about to tell about the adventure just now, when they heard a loud noise, the calm lake suddenly parted from it, and on a huge mussel shell sat a beautifully dressed merman, with a long fish tail still immersed in the water, and his waist was very straight, and he looked proudly at a few people on the shore, "Hello guests, I am the messenger of the Pearl Country, our queen predicted the arrival of several people, and ordered me to welcome a few guests to the Pearl Country." ”
Troublesome! Chu Xiqing's mind instantly flashed a reminder from the merman, she wanted to remind Uncle Shi and Qingmei to leave here quickly, but she heard that Hua Ting had already promised the other party, and the three of them were stuffed into a clam shell and went to the dark underwater kingdom together. The moment the mussel shell opened, Chu Xiqing saw a gray city, the light here was very dim, and the mermaid tails swaying back and forth, looking at them curiously. This is the underwater pearl country, the merman made a blister for the three of them, Chu Xiqing found an opportunity to get to Hua Ting and Qingmei, and avoided the merman's surveillance and said the adventure just now.
Hua Ting's good-looking brows furrowed, and finally he only said, "I know in my heart, and I am ready to escape at any time." ”
Qingmei reversed the play mentality just now, and began to look around cautiously, the mermaids here were in a hurry, as if they were preparing for something, the tall buildings in the distance flashed with white light, and Chu Xiqing faintly heard the moving singing from there. Under the guidance of the merman guide, they walked towards the tall building in the distance, and when they walked nearby, they found that there were flowers in the water, and the color of those flowers was fiery red, which had a strong contrast with the softness of the water. The flowers bloomed in a whole circle around the tall building, trying to fully embrace the tall building.
Chu Xiqing originally thought that they were going to the top of the highest building, but they didn't expect to be taken underground, where there was a spiral down the stairs, and when they came to the end, there was a huge room with a long table in it, but the table was empty, and at one end sat the merman queen with a white veil. The reason why she is recognized at a glance as the queen of the mermaids is because she wears a heavy and dazzling crown on her head. The queen made no sound, and the servants beside her invited them to sit down at the dark stone table, and brought a plate of food, which turned out to be flowers outside the tall building.
The queen stretched out her hand and motioned for everyone to eat, Chu Xiqing looked at Hua Ting for a while, before she dared to eat those weird foods, although she was really hungry, everything here was full of weird atmosphere, if it weren't for Hua Ting saying that the peach blossoms would not hurt people's lives, she would definitely not eat at the risk of offending the queen, and quietly looked up, she found that the queen just watched them eat, and did not move the chopsticks, and the veil was attached to her face without moving, as if it had not moved for thousands of years.
