Chapter 35: The Bird
Duckweed made the three of them invisible and blew a breath. In just half a moment, a huge white-feathered bird came from the sky, and it was magnificent.
Gusu, who was originally windless, is now cool.
Xiaowa, Ah Lian, including the general were stunned, and everyone looked at the white bird and stayed in place.
Only the duckweed cloud smiled lightly and hid the bird, so he smiled and said to the little baby: "Let's go, let's finish this business first, and then rush back to sleep well." ”
Regardless of the shock on Xiaowa's face, duckweed lifted the woman onto Xuanniao's broad back. The little baby then went up and asked, "Sister, where are we going to leave this woman?"
"I don't know, but it's better to stay away. lest she run back to Gusu and spoil me and Alian's appetite. Duckweed said lightly.
"Mercy...... Isn't she dead?, can she stay alive?" asked the little baby suspiciously.
"It couldn't have been. But it is precisely because of her good sister that her soul has been trapped in the pond, and she can't even die. The demons could not find her soul, so they crossed her name off the book of life and death in order not to be punished. ”
"Sister, how did you know A-Lian?" Xiaowa continued.
Duckweed smiled: "A month ago, I wanted to buy a bowl of mung bean water to drink. I happened to pass by the General's Mansion and saw that there was a lot of resentment inside, so I came to see it alone at night. Ah Lian was very pitiful and very happy, so I helped her. Of course, she also gave me a large sum of silver, much more than her sister had given me. ”
The Xuanniao let out a long cry and flew smoothly and quickly to the clouds. The little baby was so frightened that she clung to the bird and shrunk into the bird's feathers.
"Don't be afraid, I'm very skilled. A gentle, strong man's voice came from beneath her.
Xiaowa didn't react for a while, "Hey?", and said to duckweed: "Sister, why did your voice become like this?"
Duckweed grabbed Ah Qiao with one hand to prevent her from struggling too hard and falling, and covered her mouth with the other hand and smiled: "I didn't speak." I'm afraid the little baby heard it wrong. ”
Xiaowa scratched her head, she heard someone talking just now. She thought hard about it, but she still didn't come up with any clue, so she had to grasp Xuanniao's back.
Before she knew it, she was asleep. In the dream, she was lying on top of a giant marshmallow, warm and soft.
She felt very relieved.
When she woke up, in a daze, she heard two people talking.
"It's been a hard trip, you better go back to Kunlun Mountain. It's just that the world is not as good as Kunlun Mountain, there are many sinisters, and you shouldn't stay here. "It's my sister's voice.
"Master, it is precisely because of the sinister world that I want to leave the two of you with you. There's always a companion along the way. "It's the voice I just heard. Xiaowa suddenly woke up and hurriedly opened her eyes.
I saw a tall man in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground and talking respectfully to duckweed.
Duckweed looked at the little baby with a smile and said, "Don't I have a companion, this little girl is very good, she can talk to me enough." You have already cultivated to become an immortal, there is no need to call me master again, and there is no need to follow me to cultivate anymore. ”
The little baby blushed a little and was very embarrassed. I heard the man still say paranoidly: "Master, I said back then, I will always be with you." It doesn't matter if you become an immortal or a demon, even if you become an evil ghost, I will always be with you. ”
"Xuanniao. Duckweed didn't feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly interrupted: "But I can protect myself, and I don't need your protection." ”
"That'...... Master, you just summoned me. You need me. The man bowed his head and said.
Duckweed coughed twice in embarrassment and laughed, "I'm used to having a mount, you can't let me walk so much barefoot." However, I still don't feel at ease when you come to the world, so you better go back. I'll call you again next time there's a time like this, and you're flying fast anyway, and it won't be long before you come over. ”
Xuanniao did not speak, and seemed very sad.
Xiaowa couldn't help but interject: "So you were the Xuanniao just now? God, sister, you actually have a mount? Can I still sit in the future?"
Duckweed patted her little head melon and said indifferently, "I can't." ”
"Master, I can also be like you, and accompany you in this human world as a human being, and I promise that I will never cause trouble. Kunlun Mountain ...... Master, I have already told the Queen Mother that I am going to the East China Sea to cultivate for hundreds of years, and now that I go back, don't I lie to her with my heart?"
Duckweed was speechless, and then said slowly: "Aren't you lying to her if you don't go back?" Xuanniao, you're good now, aren't you?" Don't think that you are so great when you cultivate to become an immortal, you even lie to the queen mother. When the time comes, I won't blame you. ”
"Master," Xuanniao half-knelt on the ground, "don't worry, generally speaking, it is you who cause trouble, and I will clean up the mess." ”
Xiaowa couldn't hold back her laughter, and duckweed knocked Xiaowa's head a few more times.
Xiaowa covered her head and said, "Sister, can't I laugh yet?"
"You can laugh, but you can't laugh at me. Duckweed's expression was indifferent, but her clothes were fluttering, and she turned her head to Xuanniao and said, "Follow me, but not with a mortal appearance." ”
"Why?" Xiaowa and Xuanniao were puzzled and asked in unison.
"I'm a female Taoist priest now, even if I take a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, I also have to bring a young man with a good demeanor? Am I crazy or are you crazy? At that time, people will think that a family of three will come out to hang out, not a female Taoist priest with strong spells. Duckweed rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
"Then, Xuanniao can't follow us with his true body. That's horrible, too. I'm afraid that within half a month, Xuanniao will have to be captured in the palace and become a tribute or delicacy. Xiaowa expressed her opinion suspiciously.
Duckweed couldn't help but knock on Xiaowa's head again, and scolded with a smile: "Xiaowa, you have been following me for so long, can you be smarter." The bird is an immortal who casually becomes a bird, an insect, or an animal that follows us. ”
"That's too embarrassing. Xiaowa muttered, feeling very upset for Xuanniao.
"It doesn't matter. Xuanniao smiled very contentedly, and expressed his gratitude to the little baby with his eyes, "I can become a vase or something." As long as I can be by my master's side, it's okay if I'm wronged. ”
Xiaowa really couldn't help but wonder if this Xuanniao was a masochist, obviously so good-looking in human body, but he was willing to be a vase.
"Sister, are we going to be three of us together for the rest of our journey?" asked Xiaowa with her head raised.
Duckweed nodded and said with a smile, "Sort of." Not three of them, though. It's just one person, one immortal, and one demon. ”
"No matter how many people are on their journey, Xuanniao will always accompany the master. With that, the bird turned into a lantern, and the duckweed lifted it up and walked in the direction of the inn.
It's almost dawn.
