Chapter 30: Entering the Earth Spirit

At the border to the north of Musha, we are separated from Yuanshui.

He will take the pivot and the hope of the tide earth for him, and go through the land of Musha. And I have come to understand the meaning of my travels – that I will always be on the path of love and freedom.

At the end of her farewell, Shu told me that one day she would return to Liuli Palace, because that was her home. I gave her the carpet that Xifeng's father, Zhai Li, gave me, hoping that she would have a safe journey. She took off the bracelet and put it on mine, it was a bond between our sister and brother, and we could feel each other's heartbeats even if we were thousands of miles apart. Eventually, she touched my head and smiled and burst into tears, something I've been through many times. But my heart still ached slightly when the pivot and the water turned around. I know it's an indispensable gift for my life. It gives me something to think about and hope for.

I watched as the figures of the two of them faded into view, and Dream and I stood side by side.

Then, I continued to walk north with Dream, Xifeng, and Demon. I don't know how long I walked, the surrounding scenery became more and more beautiful, maybe I stayed in Musha for a long time, the air and land of this land made people feel extraordinarily comfortable.

After a while, we came across a stream, which was far worse than the Milky Way and lacked dense perilla leaves, but the small stream was surrounded by long reeds.

The dream and the demon were particularly excited, especially the demon demon, since it had been injured twice in Musha, it had not been seen so happy for a long time, and its bulky body jumped into the small stream, almost blocking the entire water flow. I dreamed of it, and I couldn't stop laughing.

The stream breeze found wild fruits from afar and caught two fish from the stream to prepare a special dinner for us. We spent the night by the stream, and because we were in a very good mood, we leaned on the body of the demon and counted the stars for the night.

The next day, we continued our journey north, and soon we came to a strange wood, overgrown with stout ancient vine trees, whose branches were intertwined and intimately connected. When we entered the room, we found that the space inside was very low, and the sun had been blocked out of sight, only the sunlight sparsely squeezed through the branches of the ancient vine trees and sprinkled on the green grass. The feeling of stepping on it was soft, but the demon and the stream wind had a hard time walking. The wings of the stream wind are always pulled by the vines, and the demon, step by step, has to squeeze out the branches on its back while pulling out the feet that have fallen into the grass.

"Xiu, Xiu, I can't break free!" The stream wind behind me suddenly called me, and I turned back with the dream, and saw that the stream wind had been entwined by the ancient vine branches, and it kept rising, and those rattans suddenly seemed to be alive, and they kept winding towards the stream wind.

"Creek Breeze!" I immediately used my spiritual magic to conjure up a long sword and slash at the rattans, but it had no effect at all, and the vine branches of the entire ancient vine forest seemed to be commanded, half of them wrapped around the stream, half of them entangled me, and just like that, the streams were swept away under my nose, and there was no trace of them, and after a while, these rattans returned to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened.

I held my sword in my hand, looked at the few black feathers on the ground, and was extremely worried about the stream. Shouting at the stream wind in the depths of the ancient vines, but all around, there was silence, and the rattans seemed to be asleep, without the slightest movement.

What the hell is this place?" The dream was frightened, leaning on the demon and looking around.

"Let's go inside, the stream breeze must be inside!"

I held the dream in one hand and the sword in the other, watching the movements around me and telling the demon to cheer up.

After walking for a while, there was no trace of the stream wind, but the ancient vine forest seemed to have changed a little, the road was much wider, and there were many creatures constantly appearing, and the rattan was becoming less and less, and some cave-like houses occasionally appeared on both sides, and I don't know who lived in them.

Due to the accident with the stream, I had to be cautious and did not dare to disturb it for the time being. I could only look around, and suddenly, a very small bear came out of nowhere and pounced on the demon's head, blocking the demon's eyes. The demon was scared and ran around, and I didn't listen to the dream shouting it, just shook my head vigorously, but I couldn't shake off that thing, just when I was about to use spiritual magic, a childish call came:

"Xiao Diao, don't be naughty, come down." I followed the sound and saw that it was a child of about seven or eight years old, dressed in a very interesting way, but he did not look like an ordinary child.

Seeing that the thing on the demon's head was disobedient, the child folded his hands, and then pointed with the index finger of his right hand, and the thing called "Xiao Diao" suddenly slipped off the demon's head.

"You guy, you should be locked up, you finally slipped out, and you are still in trouble." The children complained about Xiao Diao and walked towards us.

Although he looked to be only seven or eight years old, his gait was steady, and there was no fear or surprise at the sight of us and the demons, which made me curious.

"I'm sorry to disturb you." He looked at the thing under his feet, and then looked up at me, his pupils as clear as the stream breeze.

"Kid, what kind of place is this?" I leaned down and tried to stay as tall as he was.

"I think you misunderstood, I'm not a child, I'm an adult, Xiao Diao is my gift for the coming-of-age ceremony." He still corrected me with a straight face.

"I'm sorry, I just got here, I don't know." He still seemed friendly, so I admitted my faux pas.

"This is the land of the spirits. I am the prince of the earth spirits, Kui Li! ”

"Earth spirits?" I suddenly remembered that Xifeng and I secretly saw in my father's study, the hundred tribes of the Ethereal Continent, it seems that there is a person called the Earth Spirit Clan, they are somewhat similar to the Yin Clan, and their bodies are short, but ......, the Earth Spirit Clan is remote and weak in the low places, and there is no threat at all, so why is the rattan so fierce before. Since he was a prince, he must have known where Xifeng went, so I told him what had happened in the ancient vine forest, and showed Xifeng's feathers as proof.

"Your friend is a flyer?" Kui Li stared at me closely, his previous friendliness disappearing, and his face suddenly became stern.

"No, he used to be the patron saint of the Eagle Clan, but now, it's just my companion, my most important friend!"

Kui Li looked me up and down again, and after a while, he said, "Come with him." He'll show me the creek wind. I was skeptical, and the long sword in my hand still hadn't been put away.

Dream and I followed Kui Li for a long time.

Along the way, I saw many spirit beasts and earth spirit people. True as the classical records, the Earth Spirit people are generally low, and the highest is only as high as my shoulders. Kui Li took us through a lot of detours, both sides are cave-like houses, Kui Li introduced to us, this is all the people who live in the earth spirit, the earth spirit people generally feed on flower dew, so the body is light, fast walking can jump, spiritual power is also obtained from the essence of plants, therefore, the ancient vine is worshiped as the guardian saint of the earth spirit.

No wonder, as soon as we entered the Earth Spirit Realm, we encountered that ancient vine forest. Kui Li explained to me that it was a defensive wall for the Earth Spirits, preventing foreign invasion of the Earth Spirits.

"Then why only catch the stream wind? Me and Xiu, but the demon is okay? "The doubts of dreams are also my doubts. Kui Li did not answer, and the dexterous figure moved forward quickly.

Dream and I had no choice but to stop talking and follow Kui Li forward, this way, I felt that the earth spirit was not so dangerous, but the worry of the stream wind was not reduced in the slightest.

Walking to a grassy slope, a huge cave appeared in front of me, and there were several huge ancient vine trees on both sides, and the dense rattan blocked the hole entrance tightly. I saw Kui Li put his hands together, closed his eyes and concentrated, and then, a faint blue point of light appeared on the tip of his right index finger, and Kui Li pointed towards the ancient vine branches, and those dense branches seemed to hear a command, and they were withdrawn to both sides.

Kui Li nodded to us, signaling that we could continue inside. When we reached the entrance of the cave, the ancient vines on both sides suddenly transformed into two servants holding contradictions, and their long brown beards fell to the ground.

"Venerable Prince Kui Li, you are back!"

"You know I'm out?" Kui Li stopped at their eyes, and then asked, "Does Father and Queen Mother know that I am out?" ”

"As Prince Ryle passed by, I heard the sound of the king's scepter on the floor of the palace. Big, big! The ancient vine servant lowered his head and said sincerely.

"Are you living a fool, saying this kind of thing in front of outsiders!" Xiao Diao at Kui Li's feet suddenly jumped onto the Gu Teng servant and tugged at his beard vigorously. Dream suddenly couldn't hold back, poofed, and laughed out loud.

Kui Li beckoned to Xiao Diao, "Forget it, don't blame him." ”

"Thank you, Honorable Prince Kui Li, I haven't seen you bring guests when I'm old." The old vine servant is still very sincere. Kui Li ignored him again.

When I entered the cave, I found that there was a cave here, the moss-paved road twisted and twisted, spiraling and extending to the depths, and there were countless small caves on both sides, and many pairs of eyes stared at me and dreams. After walking for a while, I came to a spacious place, which looked like a square or a place of worship or something, which should be a place where the Earth Spirit people gathered. Further down was a cell, where many people were imprisoned, and from a distance, those people were not dwarf earth spirits, and some of them had wings like the wind of the stream.

As I walked, I searched for the shadow of the stream breeze.

"Don't look, there's no friends of yours there." Kui Li's voice sounded, and I suddenly found that he was different from the outside, no longer modest and respectful, but more playful and arrogant. I looked at his sideways head and didn't argue. But the search did not stop. Kui Li continued:

"The people who have been imprisoned here are all Fei people for several years, and your friend has just arrived, and he will only be imprisoned here after being interrogated by the Earth Spirit King."

"Why?" I took the opportunity to find out why.

"Because the contradiction between the Fei Clan and the Earth Spirit cannot be resolved for a hundred years, and the two sides hate each other, in recent years, the Conquest between the Fei Clan and the Earth Spirit has been a little less." As he walked, he explained to us.

"So, my friend was captured as a flyer because he had wings, right?" I think I probably understood the reason for the accident with Xifeng, since those ancient vines are the defense of the earth spirits, so as soon as we stepped into the land of the earth spirits, they seemed to have received an order to capture the wind stream, and I, the dream, and the demon were safe and sound.

"Ouch! You are very smart! Kui Li stopped and looked at me, as if surprised.

"And where's my friend?"

"You have to ask the king?" A hint of indifference flashed in Kui Li's eyes.

"Take me to the king!" I asked him.

"Whoa! There it is. ”

I looked in the direction that Kui Li pointed, and in the distance, there was a golden throne.

We quickly came to the front.
