Chapter 6 Identification
As soon as the carp's words fell, everyone in the audience was taken aback.
I poked my head out of the Yuanfeng cuff and saw it clearly. But seeing that the delicate princess opened her eyes angrily and took the case. With a cry of "Damn blazing fox, how can this be justified!", he threw his sleeves away.
The dragon king frowned, and followed the princess out of the palace gate. Genfeng pressed my head back into my sleeve and followed closely behind.
Although I stayed in my sleeve pocket, I heard the name of the string, and my heart was galloping. There are surprises, there are excitements, there are apprehensions, there are worries.
The princess, the dragon king, Yuan Feng, and then counting the little carp leading the way and me in my sleeve pocket, a group of five people walked quickly to a place full of the sound of lightning. It must be the mercury cage that the little carp said.
I knew that the strings were here, and I desperately squeezed out of my sleeves, and finally squeezed out a gap so that I could see the outside world clearly. Seeing that I was so persistent, Yuan Feng didn't push me back into the wide sleeves.
Inside the mercury cage, a bright red fire spirit fox was half-suspended in the cage. Nine long, rich red tails were unbridled behind him, leaning up and opening their mouths to spit out fireballs. With a loud crackling sound like lightning, the tongue of scorching fire licked into the cage of the water column that shimmered with blue light. The streaks of blue light wilted like water snakes slashed by knives and axes.
And the fox's eyes were bloodshot, and although he was still alive, he could hardly hide his tiredness and haggardness.
There was an inexplicable pain in my chest, and I stared intently at the scorching strings, and I caught a glimpse of the five slender fingers in Yuanfeng's sleeves gradually clenching into fists.
"What does the princess want?" said Yuan Feng's cold voice with imperceptible anger.
The princess was right: "On the fifteenth day of March, the Burning String King broke into my palace and falsely accused me of arresting his maid. What else do you say, I've always been jealous of beautiful girls, I must have kidnapped the people in his palace!"
I remembered that day, it seemed that I was held by the palm of Yuanfeng's side, and was guarded by the hateful Doom Star Monarch near the Iron Plate Bridge in the East China Sea.
Princess Linglong snorted, and continued, "He said that he found his maid's red veil here, and that he was either tied up by me or by my men. It's really ridiculous, can I know if she is beautiful or ugly with my face covered, and I am still jealous?! Thinking that I am a dignified princess of the East China Sea, how can I be humiliated by a fox demon!"
The veil was indeed lost at some point. It should be that when Yuan Feng put me who turned into a white rabbit into his sleeve and came out of the Torture Demon Ding, he was not left behind here in the East China Sea. I don't want to track down the strings so far, no wonder he wronged this princess.
The fist in Yuan Feng's sleeve seemed to be tighter, but his voice was still calm: "Just because of the quarrel, you have used mercury to lock him up to this day? You and I have known each other for many years, why are you so ruthless...... Quickly released him and released him. β
The princess smiled coldly: "Yes, I have known each other for many years, and I have accumulated a lot of hatred, this time I will settle it with him! He actually dares to say that I am not worthy of you...... With that alone, I can't overstate that I'm going to kill him!"
"Are you going to let it go or not?" Yuan Feng's tone grew angry.
"Linglong, you have gone too far! you dare to imprison the Heavenly Burning String Divine Monarch without permission, why don't you hurry up and take the key to open the cage!" said the Dragon King angrily.
"Princess, hurry up and get the key to open the cage. If he burns it like this, I'm afraid the mercury cage will be destroyed......" The carp soldier cautiously approached the princess and reminded softly.
"I wanted to lock him up for a hundred days, but I didn't want to be angry for only ninety-nine days, but this fox demon couldn't bear it, and he didn't hesitate to show his true body and use his true yuan to break my mercury cage, which is extremely hateful!
After finishing her words, she raised her hand chanting a mantra, and her fingertips burst out of the Dao Dao water column and rushed towards the mercury cage, as if she was reinforcing the cage with true qi spiritual power. And the scorching fire does not show weakness, and the confrontation between water and fire is difficult to solve.
I suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and it turned out that Yuan Feng was waving his sleeves. When it landed, the wind swept the water, the tide surged, and everyone stood unsteadily. A spell flew towards the mercury cage with a blinding golden lightβ
"Broken!"
"Don't force it, prince-"
Before the Dragon King's words fell, the Yuan Feng broke with a short sound, only to feel the turbulent water around him explode. My heart fell instantly, my brain was white, and a stream of blood spread in my cavity, and I was unconscious.
In the fog, I seemed to gradually become conscious, but I couldn't open my eyes, my mouth, or move my limbs. With the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, I struggled to perceive my surroundings and prayed silently that I wouldn't die like this.
For a long time, there was nothing but the sound of the waves.
What about them? Nobody came to save me, and did they want to die like this?
A rush of footsteps approached, and a warm hand caressed one of my forepaws, as if rubbing against my wrist. Suddenly, there was a circle of true qi around his wrist, and the people around him seemed to gasp.
Immediately after, the hair on the forehead was swept away by the man's hand, and he instantly felt the hand begin to tremble.
"Bing Ning?", was the voice of the fox. A light question that was not a question seemed to choke on the throat in an instant, ethereal and illusory, like a gossamer.
After a moment of silence, he said in a lighter tone: "It turns out that your real body is so white and lovely. β
An empty expression without wind and no waves, with a desolate meaning that seeps into the bone marrow, drips into the lungs.
Someone coughed, and it seemed that he was also injured, and his tone was unsteady. This man seems to be not far away. I tried to concentrate on the direction of the cough, and gradually felt that the man's even, soothing, elegant, long breath was slowly approaching me.
"My bad. The three words are splashed with jade, and there is no peace.
"It's your fault, you have a marriage contract, but you still provoke her. The fox's words were frighteningly calm.
Hey, until now, he still persistently believes that I love this Yuanfeng prince deeply.
There was a silent silence.
Just wondering how Yuan Feng was labeled as such a swinger, without giving any explanation, my stiff body fell into a warm embrace. A pair of cold hands gently caressed my face, cautiously, dreamy: "My fault, I will save you." β
The familiar embrace is full of the breath of the Yuan Feng. He hugged me, two fingers touched my eyebrows, and I suddenly felt a continuous spiritual power slowly enter my body. His aura was dense and gentle, and it only took a moment for him to enter my body, and I felt comfortable and peaceful.
The fox next to him also came closer, but his breath was disordered and complicated, and he didn't say a word.
As the aura entered my body, my mind became clearer and clearer. However, it may be because this rabbit body is not my own, no matter how hard I try, I can't move half a minute, and my eyelids can't open a slit.
"She's dead. The fox's voice was full of sadness.
"No, it won't. Yuan Feng's voice was hard to hide in firmness.
Hey, this confused fox is guessing all the time. I didn't want to explain it before, but now I can't explain it.
One drop, two drops, two drops of cool water slid down my cheeks. One drop landed on my lips and seeped into my mouth along the slit between my lips, and the tip of my tongue tasted a faint saltiness. I don't know if it was one of them who shed tears for me, or if one person distributed it just right. There was an unseemly joy in my heart, and I thought it was very strange.
Bursts of sleepiness struck, thinking that the true qi of the Wind God Prince actually had a hypnotic effect, which was truly incredible. Anyway, I can't move, and I can't die, so it's better to sleep first.
I slept uneventfully, except for a dream that was not very novel. The general content of the dream is that there is a soft voice that keeps begging me to give it something.
When I woke up, I saw an ivory-white sky dome with a faint white mist floating on it, surrounded by gusts of fresh wind.
I turned my rabbit neck, but I saw a young man in white sitting cross-legged beside me in the mist, his face was cold, his eyes were slightly closed, and his half-draped black hair had the shape of the wind.
It is the Genkaze.
I don't know what he was doing like this, but in the midst of my doubts, those eyes opened abruptly, and the sword shone like a sharp light, which really startled me.
He stretched out his hand, put his straight fingertips on my neck, and ordered without hesitation: "Hold your breath and concentrate, and the twelve days of internal fortune." βγ
As smart as I am, even if I am in the shape of a rabbit at this time, I can still do it. Yuanfeng's method was really effective, and I suddenly felt that the Lingtai was clear and my body was in good shape.
After a while, Yuan Feng picked me up like a baby and said softly: "I was careless before, I wanted you to see more of the outside world and improve your immortal spiritual power as soon as possible, but I didn't want to almost kill you." β
He put me back on the collapse, brushed the hem of my clothes and stood up, pinched his eyebrows, and said gently: "In the future, you will stay here to cultivate, and don't go out again until the time is ripe." β
I was shocked in my heart, this turned me into a rabbit, not to mention, is he still planning to put me under house arrest? Sure enough, he and his fiancΓ©e have the same virtue, and they like to lock people up. In this way, I and the fox king are both fallen people at the end of the world.
Yuan Feng summoned a little immortal attendant and ordered: "Ye Yu, from now on, she will be under your care, be careful." After speaking, he walked away.
Looking at Ye Yu, who is not tall and not very old, but has a gloomy face and a calm temperament, I am sad for a while when I think of the secluded rabbit life after that.
General History of the Six Realms, Complete Book of the Six Realms, Romance of the Six Realms, Encyclopedia of the Species of the Six Realms, Biography of the Gods of the Six Realms...... Since I can only move around in this wing room and in the courtyard outside the door, I calmed down and carefully studied these scroll books that Yuan Feng brought, which was bigger than the body of a rabbit, and gained a lot.
This Night Feather is really a well-trained and excellent immortal attendant. Even when he saw my rabbit reading books tirelessly, there was nothing strange on his face, and he silently took me the book and put the book according to Yuan Feng's instructions. I never saw him ask Yuan Feng more, and he could only hear the simple words yes, okay, Your Highness, understand, these words burst out of his mouth.
Although Yuan Feng no longer takes me out with him, although he doesn't accompany me as much as he did in Huoyun Palace at that time, he will definitely find time to visit me every day.
He would sometimes bring me official documents, still carry me to his lap, and then bury his head in the work of the official case.
I think the incident in the East China Sea last time made him a little too cautious, and he didn't even let me go to other places in the Xuanqiong Palace, preferring to take the trouble to move the official documents from the study here, and every time he left, he would lay several enchantments outside the courtyard gate.
Of course, he didn't just come to work on his own. In addition to teaching me some cultivation techniques, he often wrote down some Brahma mantras, unphased heart sutras, brakes and other pieces of paper and handed them to me to read, so that I could memorize them.
Hey, it's not a difficult thing for me, but how ridiculous it is for a rabbit to endorse it. Even if I took it to heart, I couldn't speak, and I couldn't let him check my schoolwork.
Every time before writing down something to be memorized, he would politely ask, "Did you remember everything you wrote last time?" and without waiting for me to nod and shake my head, he began to write new notes on the paper.
The days passed smoothly and straightforwardly. Except for when night falls, I still miss the scorching strings, and I still worry about the frozen sky, and the rest of the time is also calm and peaceful.
Will String think I'm dead?
Even though Yuan Feng and Burning String seem to have a good relationship, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Feng will not let him come to see me for some reason.
As for Yuan Feng, why did he treat me like this? Just because he was righteous and awe-inspiring, he felt that as the prince of the Heavenly Realm, he should protect the Frozen Heaven City? As a son and as a courtier, shouldn't he obey the words of his father and drive me out of the Heavenly Realm? Why is all this? The mystery in my heart is snowballing bigger and bigger.
It is no exaggeration to say that even though I am a rabbit now, even though I am born with immortal roots, I still work hard in my cultivation. Every day, I look forward to the early improvement of cultivation, the early breakthrough of this rabbit body, the early spiritual power, the immortal skills are so superb that I am not afraid of anyone recognizing me. I am the Heavenly Cold Ice that they are bent on finding and extinguishing!
When the time comes, I will go to the grandfather of the Buddha of the West Heaven to ask me why I was made, why I have a wound on my forehead, why those people who go to heaven and earth will kill me, why do you want to hurt my frozen elves, why?
The sea has become a mulberry field, and the mulberry field has become a sea, changing and changing, and there is nothing new.
Autumn grass grows on the moon every year, and the sun sets in the building every day, the clouds and water are slim, and a hundred years pass by in a snap of a finger.
I, even though I am still the flawless plush white rabbit, am no longer the weak rabbit that can be seriously injured by a mere splash in the East China Sea!
Today, the future looks at me.
Just after the scorching sun, the twilight is like a bat pouring out of its nest, and it is overwhelming.
It may be that the Yuan Feng today and the future make me feel that this night is coming so quickly and turbulently.
Instead of going to sleep in a plush cot, as I usually do, I went out into the courtyard and sat down under a pear blossom tree. There is also a rippling blue water with the shadow of the moon under the tree.
This pear blossom tree is fresh and dusty in the daytime, like a young man in white standing between heaven and earth. Sometimes looking at it is like seeing the same dusty, white Yuan Feng.
Sometimes, this pear blossom falls in the blue water like a small white boat, and it also reminds me of the peach blossoms in the Huoyun Palace, where the peach blossoms and flowers are intertwined with the pink clouds to form a painting and the color is integrated.
Since I can't sleep, I just close my eyes and recuperate, maybe I'm not just closing my eyes to recuperate, but waiting for the wind.
It seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, and I can hear faint footsteps. I gladly obeyed the prestige. But I was disappointed to see the thin and gloomy Night Feather, with a face that was even more gloomy than usual, walking towards me.
He picked me up very calmly and carefully, and whispered: "Your Highness was attacked in the study today, and I was not lightly injured, so I can't come to see you." β
I was stunned, with a hint of puncture pain.
I don't know when I didn't resent him for making me what I am now, but I looked forward to seeing him every day. I still miss the strings every night, but the interdependence of a hundred years, today's abnormal future makes me miss the white clothes even more.
How could he have been attacked? Did someone from the Demon Realm find out that I was here? Was he injured because of me?
I couldn't ask any more questions, so I had to let Nightfeather put me back on the cot.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless, and a dream from a hundred years ago is also a reality. It's still the soft-voiced girl's voice, breathing like a gossamer, intermittent.
"Give it back to me...... I'm dying...... Bingning, Bingning, please, give me ......"
How did this guy know that my name was Bingning?
In fright, I jumped out of the small bed, lit a candle with my spiritual power, and looked around, but there was nothing.
"Help me, Bing Ning, please, give me back ......" The eerie, thin voice continued.
All I could do was find a rash standing on my rabbit's skin.
"Who are you!" I was startled by the sudden voice! I was able to speak! Perhaps, I had already cultivated to speak, but I didn't know it and never tried. Now, because of a momentary hurry, I blurted out!
At this point, I was glad that I could speak, and I was still trying to find the source of the soft voice. I concentrated and used my spiritual power to try to open the eyes of heaven to find it, but my spiritual power still did not reach that realm, and I still couldn't see anything.
"Who are you, manifest!" I said urgently.
"I'm invisible, I'm dying, Bing Ning, save me, please. β
"You don't tell me who you are and how can I save you?"
"I'm Bai Zetu, what you're wearing is my clothes......" Gossamer's voice choked up.
I was so shocked that I had never worn a dress since I became a rabbit, and she meant it......
"You're the owner of my white rabbit body?!" my voice trembled with surprise.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo woo...... "The girl didn't answer, but she began to cry." I panicked for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Yes or no? You escaped from the Demon Torture Ding, and you want your body back?"
"I, my name is Bai Zetu. Before, before, they all called me, Xiaobai...... I, I shouldn't, shouldn't have left the house. No, no, shouldn't leave the Demon Realm...... I, I'm in trouble. I killed a mortal by mistake, I didn't mean to, I ......"
Listening to this story that has no beginning and no end and is incomplete, I roughly know that this rabbit demon wants to be put into the torture demon ding by Emperor Wuyang because of his trouble. By chance, she should be unlucky to be cute, but I took a fancy to her......
In any case, it was up to me to start her situation. I feel sorry for using her body for so long and making her so weak. His tone slowed down: "Is it possible that if I return this body to you, I can save you?"
"Hmm...... Is that okay?" asked the girl timidly.
Actually, I don't know if it's okay or not, one thing, I don't know what level my current cultivation has reached, and whether I have the strength to face the outside world with my true face. Two, I really don't know how to do it, strip the fur from the body and return it to her. β
"Tell me, how do I give you my body back?"
The girl didn't answer, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly a white light shot in her face, not into the center of her eyebrows.
The head seemed to explode into a flower, and it was still the girl's voice, but this time it was no longer intermittent, but asked in a sonorous voice: "Bingning, are you willing to return this body to me?"
The ghost makes the god send, and without thinking, he is willing to blurt out the word. It is also unclear whether the answer is based on reason.
It was chaotic, confused, hazy. When I opened my eyes again, everything around me seemed to suddenly become a lot smaller. A small white rabbit was jumping around me excitedly at my feet.
"Great, great, thank you, thank you, Bingning, thank you!"
Ignoring her thousand words, I rushed out of the room, ran to the clear water under the pear tree, and bent down to look at the water with trepidation.
Under the moonlight, the woman in white has a fluttering fairy robe, her face is like a lotus, and her skin is like condensation.
It's beautiful, but it's not me.
