Chapter 37: The Temple of Heart Nourishment

Tianhe carried the master and apprentice and quickly flew back to the Six Spirits Palace.

By this time night had fallen, the sun was setting, and a crescent moon hung in the western sky.

High in the air, Tianxue sat on the back of the crane and looked down on the entire Liuling Palace, only to see a large and small pavilion connected together, and there were forty or fifty of them.

"Master, it's getting dark, the Six Spirits Palace is so big, where can we find Yan Lao?" Tianxue pointed to the huge Six Spirits Palace under his feet and asked Leng Lonely.

"Let's go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, your uncle must be there at this hour. ”

After a few moments, the crane landed in a courtyard. The courtyard is not large, except for the main hall and the study on the north side, there are five wings in the east and west. The courtyard is full of evergreen flowers and plants, and the cobblestone path connects the houses in the east, west, north and south.

The baby girl in Leng Lone's feelings didn't know when she woke up, she grabbed his shirt a few times with her little hand, and said in a milky voice: "Godmaster, where are we? There is no smell of nightshade flowers here, and this is not Baihuayuan." ”

Leng Guqing touched the baby girl's little head and said, "Baby, the godfather and the fairy sister have brought you to find your second master, this is your second master's residence." ”

"Master, let me hug Xiaolian. ”

Leng Guqing nodded and gave the baby girl to Tianxue.

At this time, a man in white came out of the house and said to the two, "Senior brother, Xue'er, please come to the house." Senior brother must have come to me to know something about Changle Valley, right?"

Leng Guqing nodded silently, and walked towards the door with Tianxue and Yunyan.

The baby girl whispered to her in Tianxue's arms: "Sister fairy, is this fairy my second master?"

Tianxue nodded, and whispered to the baby girl: "Xiaolian, your godfather and your second master have important matters to discuss, and your child's family will be quiet for a while." ”

The baby girl pouted and stopped talking.

Entering the room, the furnishings in the room are far less luxurious than those of Baihuayuan and Yeming Palace, but they are very warm, and two oil lamps are lit on the table to illuminate the whole room very brightly.

The three of them sat around a large round table, and the little fairy boy next to them hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.

Yun Yan said to the little fairy child: "Tong'er, go and tidy up the study, and then clean the empty wing room in the west, Leng Gu Shangshen and Miss Xue'er will stay here tonight." ”

"Yes, Yan Lao. The little fairy boy obeyed the order and exited the room.

Leng Guqing didn't bother to take a sip of tea, and hurriedly asked Yun Yan: "Senior brother, have you gone to inspect the disciples of Changle Valley and come back? What is the situation there, is there a demon cultivating evil arts?"

Yun Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Senior brother, listen to me slowly, I returned to the Six Spirits Palace from the Cloud Appreciation Tower, and immediately sent two Dharma Protectors to Changle Valley. The two of them observed there for two days, and only returned to the Six Spirits Palace this afternoon, and the scene they saw there was exactly the same as in the bronze mirror, and Changle Valley had become a dead valley. The two also asked a few farmers at the foot of the mountain, and heard the farmer say that a month ago, five monsters came from nowhere in Changle Valley, the monsters were tall, blue-faced and red-haired, ugly and fierce, and often haunted after dark, specifically to catch young and middle-aged men, and the farmer also said that none of the people who were captured came back alive, and now the residents of the town dare not go out after dark. ”

Leng Guqing pondered for a moment and said, "Doesn't Senior Brother feel that things are very strange?"

"What do you mean, senior brother?"

"We only saw one demon star in the Star Lake, which was bigger and brighter than before, but there were five monsters in Changle Valley. The monster only came out after dark, and also captured the young man alive for food, which shows that the mana of the five monsters is not high, if the demon with high mana will not only come out at night, and generally disdain to devour the souls of mortals. ”

"What does Senior Brother mean is that there are more powerful demons behind the five monsters? Are these five demons just the minions of the demons? The demons behind them are the demon stars that have become bigger and brighter?"

Leng Guqing nodded, and said: "I have already ordered Beixuan and the four fairies to fly to Changle Valley tomorrow to catch demons, we will try to get rid of these five monsters first, and maybe we can lure out the demon hidden behind it." ”

"Well, let's do as my brother says. ”

Tianxue sat beside the two immortals, heard the words of the two immortals clearly, and suddenly said: "Master, uncle, who will be the demon hidden in the dark?

"Xue'er, you think so too?" Yun Yan and Leng Guqing said at the same time.

Tianxue nodded lightly and said, "When I first met my master, I remember that my master said that more than 10,000 years ago, there was a fierce battle between our Immortal Clan and the Demon Realm, and it lasted for more than a hundred years before it ended. The three gods in the ancestral hall were sacrificed in that war, and they died with many demons, killing the demon king's family of four in exchange for peace in the fairy world and the mortal world. The youngest son of the demon king was escorted by a powerful ghost to escape from the demon world in advance, and ran to the underworld to take refuge, but was not killed by the three gods. Now that the Demon King's youngest son, Blood Thousand Silence, has become the new Demon King, he is bound to come to find trouble with the Immortal Clan and avenge his family. ”

Leng Guqing gave Tianxue an approving look and said: "Xue'er is right, the demon behind the five demons may not be Blood Qianxi, but it must have nothing to do with him." ”

Yun Yan said: "It seems that the war between the Immortal Clan and the Demon Realm is about to break out again, and we should be ready to face it." Oh, by the way, it's getting late, Xue'er and the little doll in your arms must be hungry, right? What do you want to eat? Uncle Shi asked someone to make it for you. ”

Without waiting for Tianxue to speak, the baby girl in her arms began to mumble: "Second master is so good! I guess the fairy sister must be hungry, sister, she likes to eat red date cakes and drink lotus seed porridge, I can do all this, I can make it for her, don't bother others." ”

Yun Yan looked at the baby girl and asked Leng Guqing: "When did Senior Brother adopt a little goblin again, did you pick it up from the street?"

Yun Yan knew that Leng Guqing saved the white fox thousands of years ago, and took the little fox back to Caiyun Mountain to adopt it, thinking that the baby girl was rescued by Leng Guqing and brought back to the mountain to adopt the goblin like the white fox.

Leng Guqing shook his head and said, "No, this child was adopted by Xue'er." ”

Tianxue hurriedly explained, told the **** thing on the star-picking floor, and said: "Uncle Shi, Xiaolian really knows how to cook, where is the kitchen? ”

"On the east side of the courtyard, next to the firewood house, is. ”

"Got it, I'm taking Xiaolian to cook, do you want to cook more?

Leng Guqing smiled faintly and said, "Your uncle and I are used to skipping meals, Xue'er and the baby just have enough to eat, don't worry about me and your uncle." “

Looking at Yun Yan again, he also smiled and nodded to Tianxue.

Tianxue and the baby girl were having dinner in the kitchen, and the little fairy boy knocked on the door just now and walked in, and said to Tianxue: "Hello Aunt Fairy! I have already cleaned the guest room on the west side, and the quilt and hot water for bathing have also been prepared for Aunt Fairy, and Aunt Fairy can go over to rest after eating." ”

Tianxue smiled: "Thank you! ”

"Aunt Fairy, eat quickly, if you need anything, just greet me." ”

"Okay, I see, you go back and serve the two gods. ”

Fairchild turned and exited the room.

After eating and taking a bath, when she came out of the bathtub and was about to go to bed, she found that the baby girl had fallen asleep sitting on a chair. Seeing the baby girl sleeping so soundly with her head tilted, Tianxue felt very funny, thinking that this child was really greedy and could fall asleep sitting on a chair.

Tianxue carried the baby girl to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and let her sleep next to her.

In the middle of the night, I felt so hot in the snow and hazy that I felt like I was next to a fire. Thinking that the room was on fire, she hurriedly opened her eyes and looked around, and found that there was no fire in the house. When she saw the baby girl lying next to her, she was startled, only to see that the baby girl's face was flushed, her whole body was hot, her lips were dry, and she was shaking.

"Xiaolian, Xiaolian, what's wrong with you!" Tianxue shouted a few times, but the baby girl still closed her eyes and did not wake up.

Tianxue said to herself: "Why did Xiaolian suddenly become sick like this? No, I have to go to the master quickly and ask the master to find a way to treat Xiaolian." ”

Tianxue didn't care about putting on her outer clothes, pulled a cloak and draped it over her shoulders, put on her pajamas and ran out of the room, hurriedly walked to the door of the study, knocked on the door a few times, and shouted in a low voice: "Master! Master, wake up." Xiaolian is suddenly sick, so let's go see her. ”

As soon as Tianxue's words fell, the door to the study opened.

"What's wrong Cher, why did the baby suddenly get sick?"

Tianxue was about to cry, shook her head and said, "I don't know, Xiaolian is hot all over her body now, and she looks very sick." ”

"Xue'er, don't be afraid, let's go! ”

The two hurried back to Tianxue's room.

Leng Guqing carefully observed the baby girl, then took off the belly pocket on the baby girl's body, and saw two dark red marks on her stomach.

"Master, what kind of illness does Xiaolian have, is it from the wind cold and fever?"

"No, the baby is not sick. Look, Xue'er looks, the baby has two more fairy veins here. People in the immortal realm, whenever a new immortal vein grows in their body, they will consume a large amount of spiritual energy, and it is normal to feel unwell at this time. ”

"Immortal vein, is the master talking about these two red lines?"

Tianxue hurriedly looked at the place where Leng Guqing's fingers were, and saw that there were two long red lines on the baby girl's belly that extended to her neck. On closer inspection, the two red lines glowed reddish, and the color seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Leng Guqing nodded and said, "Yes, this red line is the immortal vein." The immortal vein is not blood, it is true qi, it will slowly grow branches, and after a few days, it will spread all over the body, and then the red color will slowly fade until it disappears. ”

Tianxue was still not at ease, and asked again: "So, is it because of this that Xiaolian's whole body is hot?

"Xue'er don't worry, the baby will not be in danger, but she is still young, and the aura on her body is very weak, and she can't do without the red lotus that gave birth to her. It must be very uncomfortable for her to be so hot, so Cher should go outside and get a basin of cold water to help her wipe her body. ”

"Okay! I'm going to fetch water. ”

Tianxue hurriedly ran out with a basin, and after a while, she entered the house with a basin of cold water. She kept wiping the baby girl with a towel dipped in cold water, but the baby's condition did not improve much, she still couldn't wake up, her body was hot and her face was red.

Tianxue hugged the baby girl and said anxiously: "Master, Xiaolian is still not good, what should I do?"

"Quickly put her down, and let the teacher lose some internal strength for her. ”

Leng Guqing's eyebrows were furrowed, he didn't expect the baby girl's situation to be so serious, so he hurriedly put his hand on the baby's chest, gathered spiritual power in the palm of his hand, and slowly transmitted it to the baby girl.

Tianxue sat on the edge of the bed and watched the master heal the baby girl, not daring to blink her eyes. Time passed little by little, the baby girl's fever slowly subsided, and her little face returned to its previous whiteness.

Seeing the baby girl turn from danger to safety, Tianxue's hanging heart finally let go.

Tianxue brought a cup of hot tea and said, "Thanks to the master for helping to heal Xiaolian, it got better so quickly, Xue'er thanked the master for Xiaolian." The master must be tired, right? Drink a cup of hot tea to warm up. ”

Leng Guqing took the teacup and drank it and said: "It's okay to be a teacher, Xue'er doesn't have to worry about being a teacher." It will be bright in a while, you haven't slept since you were a child, you must be tired and sleepy, and sleep with the baby for a while. The immortal veins on Xiaolian's body have not yet grown, and this situation will appear in the future, so let the white fox send her back to the Star Picking Tower after dawn, and let her sleep in the buds in the future. As a teacher, I was also a little tired, so I had to go back to the house to rest. ”

"Okay! Just listen to the master, after dawn I will take Xiaolian to find the white fox. ”

Leng Guqing got up to leave, Tianxue sent the master outside the door, and saw that the sky in the east had turned slightly white, and the sky was really about to brighten.

I slept for a short time in one night, Tianxue was really sleepy and tired, and after sending the master away, she went back to the house and fell asleep without taking off her clothes.

I don't know how long later, when she woke up, she saw that the sun had entered the room through the window. The room was very bright, and Tianxue guessed in his heart that it must be three poles outside.

The baby girl lay beside Tianxue, touched her face with her little hands, and said, "Sister fairy, get up, let's go outside to breathe." ”

Tianxue glanced at Xiaolian and was surprised to find that she had grown a little taller overnight, and it looked like she was a year older. Seeing her smiling so happily and as lively and lovely as before, it seems that her illness is completely cured.

"Xiaolian, let me see your belly. Tianxue was curious, wondering if the fairy veins on her body had grown a little longer like her arms and legs.

Xiaolian looked puzzled: "What are you doing with my belly? What's wrong with my belly?"

Tianxue told Xiaolian what happened last night.

Xiaolian wondered even more: "I was sick last night? Why don't I remember?"

"You were in a daze, you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed, how would you know what was going on?"

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and I heard the little fairy child ask, "Is Aunt Fairy awake?" I have prepared breakfast for my aunt in the kitchen, and my aunt can get up and eat. ”

Tianxue felt a burst of happiness, but she didn't expect that someone here specially prepared breakfast for herself, and hurriedly responded: "I heard it, thank you!"

Thinking that he would go to the white fox for a while and ask him to send Xiaolian back to the Star Tower, Tianxue quickly dressed Xiaolian, combed her hair again, and took Xiaolian to the kitchen after washing.
