Chapter 017: Encounter with a Little Demon
"Was it fifteen or sixteen times the last time you were here?" I asked deliberately.
He looked stunned and didn't answer.
I don't think he's going to be here alone in such a secluded and beautiful place. If the Spirit Bead Fairy had been here and revisited, she would have whispered to me that apparently she hadn't been here either.
"The Yoro flower grows in a very picky environment, blooming once every 20 years, and legend has it that it comes back every 20 years to see a deceased lover. He said to himself.
Could it be that it was the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon Princess who came with him last time?
This purple pond is hidden deep in the dense forest, if you don't know where it goes, it is difficult to find the location of the pond nearby, the pond is not large, but it is surrounded by strange flowers and plants full of life, and the water surface is covered with some lilac smoke. The purple pond seems to have been forgotten, hiding in a corner of the deep forest.
"Where's Yorohua?" I asked quietly.
"Don't make a sound, Lingzhu, didn't you say it before? The more rare the flowers and plants that bloom, the more spiritual, and they don't want to be disturbed, they will definitely bloom this year, and there is only one flower, and you must be patient to see them. The little white dragon whispered, looking intently around the pond, as if searching and waiting for something.
"How long does this flower last?"
"Seven days. ”
"Seven days?" I was taken aback, "It blooms once in 20 years, only seven days, I'm afraid it has already passed, how can it just coincide with its flowering period?"
"No, I've done the math, the last time I saw it was this time of season. The little white dragon said confidently.
"Well, even so, we can't stay too long, the master is still waiting for us to fetch water back. I said helplessly.
The little white dragon frowned, obviously bothered that he couldn't find Yoro right away, and he didn't want to miss its flowering season in vain.
At this time, Lingshi said to me: "I do smell a strange fragrance of flowers, very faint, mixed with the wind, you hurry up and use the spirit incense, it is made of thousands of essences, flowers will generally be attracted, will guide us to find it." ”
Sure enough, as Lingshi said, as soon as the spiritual incense came out, it dispersed in one direction, as if it was also absorbed by something, and the original smell was also admired and attracted to each other, no wonder it was said that the smell was similar, and we found an inconspicuous place by the pond along the direction of the fragrance of flowers.
What is surprising is that the flower is not inconspicuous at all, two layers of pink oval petals are elegantly opened, a long stamen in the middle is slightly purple, and the surrounding green leaves cover it, because the opening is relatively low, almost submerged in a vibrant grass, it is difficult to find it, but the closer you get to the flower, the more intense the fragrance of the flower.
Almost reflexively, I felt the scent of flowers and some kind of vitality rushing into my body, and the spirit stones were trying to absorb them.
"I need some time," Lingshi said, "its fragrance is relatively rare, it has been stored for twenty years before it opens once, and it is also very vigorous, I have encountered it before, this time it may take a little more time." ”
The little white dragon also seemed to understand the characteristics of the spirit beads, and said to me, "You stay here for a while, and I will send water to the master, and I will come over in half an hour." ”
Lingshi and I were both intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers and the vitality of the planting trees, completely unaware of the surrounding environment, until we heard a voice: "Hey, I obviously caught that fragrance, it must be around here." ”
"Invisible, fast invisible. Lingshi shouted hurriedly.
When it remembered that I couldn't be invisible at all, it sighed lamentingly: "It's over, it's troublesome." ”
The only thing I thought of was to restore the real body of the spirit stone and hide in the grass, but what was more risky to do so was that once it was discovered, it would be picked up by someone without any power, and there was no chance of rebellion.
Just as I was hesitating, two people, or demons, had already walked into my sight, and it was too late to transform.
The two were a man and a woman, dressed a little strangely, the man was gloomy, wearing a white cloth coat inside, covered with a big robe with white dots on a black background, and his demeanor was arrogant, like someone owed him dozens of pounds of pork;
When they suddenly saw me, they were also stunned, probably not expecting to meet other people in such a secluded place, "You, what kind of monster are you?" they asked almost in unison.
This is really the opening sentence of the most common words in the demon world, no matter what kind of birds and beasts, they will turn into human forms and wander the rivers and lakes, the longer they stay in the demon world, the more they feel that the human face is boring, and it has become a means for the demon gods to hide themselves, and they have long lost the existence of the true meaning of the human form.
"What are you?" I said. Although I don't know the bottom in my heart, I can't lose the momentum no matter what.
The banshee circled around me, as if sniffing something, and at last the two of them muttered a number of foreign words on the side.
Then the banshee said to me, "We are looking for a kind of yolo flower, which is rare to see, and we need to bring it back to our country." ”
"What country are you?" Datang doesn't look like they are dressed like each other.
"East Japan. ”
I looked up at the sky, searching in my mind for not very rich geographical knowledge, as if I had never heard of it, but the countries where Tang Seng wanted to travel west were also countries that I had never heard of.
The man saw me meditating and laughing at himself: "You naturally don't know, it's just a desert island, sparsely populated, full of desolation, near Datang." My name is the original pervert, and her name is Matsushita Nepot. “
I almost sprayed rice, and I was not rude, so I had to hug my fists: "Long admiration, long admiration, the two big names are really in love." “
Matsushita gave me a blank look and continued: "Our leader heard that after a thousand years, the country will not be there, so he sent the two of us to the West to seek the immortal scriptures, and on the way to step on some exotic flowers and plants to bring back, so as to enrich the fortune of the country. "It turns out that they also learn from the scriptures.
"How can this be? This flower is native to this place, and it will have withered long ago when you bring it back, and it will not hurt the life of the flower. "The nature of the spirit stone makes me unbearable to destroy life.
"No, no," Matsushita still smiled, "and when we dig it up, we'll freeze it with the roots and soil." ”
"Freeze?"
"Yes, that's it," she said, taking a breath and saying a foreign phrase, and her hands suddenly waved continuously, and a cold current immediately formed in the air, and then spun rapidly around me, and before I could realize it, I was already wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and it was getting colder and colder.
"Oh no," I cried out. I know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, but I don't know that they are so sinister.
"You're stupid, you're stupid," Lingshi scolded, "these two demons aren't good birds at first glance, and you don't even guard against her." ”
"Haha," Matsushita laughed, "the strange fragrance I just caught is emanating from her, and I don't know what kind of monster she is, do you want to chant a spell to make her appear in her original form?"
