Chapter 8: A Chance Encounter with the Spiritual Heart
The temperature at night gradually decreased, Xuan Qi, who had just eaten roast rabbit, fell asleep lazily, and Yingxue couldn't stop the tiredness and slowly entered the dream. Xuanlong looked at the fire alone, draped his clothes on Yingxue's body, and added some firewood from time to time to prevent Xuanqi and the others from catching a cold, the saber was placed next to it, and from time to time it emitted a trace of purple light, Xuanlong still didn't know how to take a nap occasionally, but he woke up again after a while to see the situation of Xuanqi and the others. Everything was calm again, and the firelight filled this small piece of heaven and earth with a warm picture.
The early birds squeaked. The firewood had been burned out, and the sun's rays slowly moved and shone on the camp where they were camping. The first to wake up was Yingxue, who saw Xuanqi lying on the ground in the shape of a big character, drooling, and I don't know what kind of dream he had, or he was reluctant to give up on yesterday's barbecue. Turning his head to look at Xuanlong again, wearing thin clothes, leaning on the back of a tree, only holding a sword in his hand. Obviously, he stayed up late at night yesterday to fall asleep, and the tiredness on his face had not yet left his face. took off Xuanlong's clothes and gently draped Xuanlong. Stretching his waist, he passed by Xuan Qi and wanted to kick him hard, but he still took it back, and went to the front.
"The sun is all on my buttocks." Xuan Qi rubbed his eyes, stood up in a daze, and patted Xuan Long's head with a "snap".
"Dragon, do you have anything to eat? I am hungry. Xuan Qi yawned and asked the sleeping Xuan Long.
I saw Xuanlong dodge and punch Xuan Qi in the back, hitting Xuan Qi, still sleepy, and when he was about to draw his sword, he found out that it was Xuan Qi who was making trouble here.
"Ouch hey!! You're going to murder your siblings! It's so heavy. Xuan Qi looked aggrieved, and tears of pain were about to pop out.
"Where's Yingxue? Where did she go? Xuan Long saw that in addition to the ashes burned by the fire, only the two of them were left in the open space, so he asked anxiously and didn't care how Xuan Qi was beaten.
"I don't know, I just woke up, I didn't pay much attention, I'm so hungry. What, that princess-tempered guy is gone? Only then did Xuan Qi reflect.
Xuanlong looked melancholy, he just fell asleep for a short while, and the person was gone, not to mention looking for the Ice Leaf Grass, now that everyone is lost, what else are you looking for. Xuanlong felt very uncomfortable, he was very worried about what would happen to Yingxue.
"Then can we slip away and not have to be with that crazy woman anymore?" Xuan Qi quipped.
"Oops! Why are you hitting me again, I'm just kidding. As soon as Xuan Qi finished speaking, what he ushered in was Xuan Long's punch, which smashed on Xuan Qi's head without weight.
"It's back to you. Don't forget that Pharmacist Ying is kind to us, have you forgotten how Uncle Luo taught us since childhood? Let's go, let's go find her together. After speaking, Xuanlong carved a few big characters on the ground: "If you come back, wait for us in the same place." ”
Yingxue also didn't want to disturb their dreams, she could understand Xuanlong's tiredness, as for Xuanqi, she should have ignored him a long time ago. So she couldn't bother the two of them in the morning, and out of curiosity she wanted to see what was nearby, to see which way to go, and to see the scenery. She didn't expect to bring these troubles to Xuanlong. After all, this is the first long trip in her life, and she doesn't know how harmonious the relationship between the three of them has become on the road in the future, and small fights are also common.
Xuan Qi followed behind Xuan Long, swaying the freshly plucked branches leisurely, humming a little song that he didn't understand, Xuan Long was used to these completely ignoring Xuan Qi's existence. Xuan Qi is a naughty little kid in the hearts of Xuanlong and Yingxue. Before the accident happened, Xuan Long still knew that Xuan Qi was still quite reliable when he encountered danger. Perhaps it was the reason for the seal, Xuan Qi thought that as long as Xuan Long was there, nothing dangerous would happen. That's why he was absent-minded during this time, and his naïve character was also leaky without a hint of concealment.
Yingxue walked and found a small fork in the road, faintly heard the sound of the water, and couldn't help but walk along the path.
"Wow, what a clear river." There are also bright flowers next to it, which also add some color to the river. Yingxue exclaimed, squatted by the river and held some water to wash her oily face. A long hair drifted away in the breeze and was reflected on the river.
The center of the river is bubbling at the moment, and from time to time fish jump out of the water and form a circle against the bubbling center, and more and more fish gather here.
Yingxue shook off her white face after washing her face, and the water droplets that were thrown off looked extremely shiny like crystal through the sunlight.
At this time, Yingxue noticed the movement in the center of the current, but the fish swam down with the current, and the bright sunshine, the blue light of the water in the center of the fish, the flowers and plants by the river, and the air became exceptionally fresh. Yingxue felt curious, puzzled by this strange phenomenon, she had never seen the true spiritual heart, as for the mercenary group Deng Yong's spirit tiger did not show its true body, the blue light it emitted could only be seen by its owner and people of extraordinary strength. For the current three-legged cat's kung fu of Yingxue, forget it. She was also wondering, could there really be a spiritual heart in this river?
After walking along the river for half an hour, I turned a detour, and in front of me was a sinkhole-like lake, surrounded by mountains, and there was only a gap in the river entering, I don't know why, the river water was gathered here, but the water level was more than an inch long. The flowers on the edge of the lake are varied and colorful, the surrounding walls are covered with luxuriant branches, and all kinds of birds are also circling on the lake, and the newborn birds occasionally poke out the leaves to show their fluffy heads, and chirp a few times and then shrink back. The surface of the lake is covered with blue light like dandelions, and the whole space is scattered with blue crystal-like droplets. Seeing all this in front of her, Yingxue was extremely surprised, her face was full of joy, she didn't have to guess that this place was definitely not a place where mortals lived, such a large space, full of magical power, presumably this was the home of the spiritual heart. At this time, Yingxue was intoxicated by this heavenly beauty, and she was also excited about her inadvertent intrusion into the place where the spiritual heart lived.
Yingxue knitted a wreath and put it on her head, at this moment she is like an angel, her every move is like an innocent girl, like a princess in a fairy tale, as if this beautiful scenery was specially designed for her. Jumping through the flowers, he was about to come to a rattan grass bridge made of artifact power. A red light flashed in front of him, and two giant lobsters appeared. There was a shocking sound.
"Just a human being has accidentally entered the holy land, don't leave quickly, be careful that your life is not guaranteed!"
The rattan grass bridge leads to the center of the lake, and as soon as the words fell, a round dragon-like spiritual heart popped out from the center of the lake, and the lower body and eggshells did not fall off, only revealing small soles and dangling tails. As soon as he took a step forward, he lay on the ground with a "snap", his eyes were wide open and he looked straight at Yingxue, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was smiling at Yingxue. Then he stood up again and patted the eggshell with his little dragon paw, which was as cute as a fallen child slapping the dirt on his body.
Yingxue's eyes did not blink, the joy in her heart had surpassed the threat to her caused by the two superstar lobsters in front of her, and she looked at the cute little dragon with full attention.
"Is this the heart they've been looking for?" Yingxue asked herself in her heart.
