I don't know how long I swam, but the scenery at the bottom of the Huaishui River was good, but I didn't see anything unusual at all. Tao Yao suddenly felt a little out of strength and wanted to swim back, but before she could swim to the riverbank, she had already fainted. Her body floated down with the river. Suddenly, an old turtle swam out of the water, shook his head at Tao Yao for a while, Tao Yao's body sat firmly on the turtle shell, and the old ghost swam deeper with her body.

The old turtle looked huge, and the turtle, no matter what kind of species, even if it was a sperm, grew very slowly. Just looking at the shape of this turtle, it is at least more than 10,000 years old. Its speed in the water is not slow at all, and its posture is graceful and comfortable, like this underwater gentleman.

"Mother, I've brought her back for you. ”

"Well, thank you. During this time, I will be called Mrs. Koi. ”

"Yes, Lady Koi. The old turtle changed his words quickly, and he didn't ask why. It twisted its short neck and looked at the person on its back, "And what about her?"

"It's still some time before she wakes up, so put her on the stone bed over there!"

"Eh" The old turtle carried her to the side of the stone bed, and put her firmly on the stone bed with a jolt.

I don't know how long it took, Tao Yao woke up slowly, and she was stunned the moment she opened her eyes, "Hey, it's not that narrow mountain road." Until it was confirmed that this was true and not a dream, Tao Yao burst into ecstasy. She jumped off the stone bed at once, and anyway, she finally got out of that plane, and that cookie-cutter life almost drove her crazy. She looked around, and it seemed to be underwater. There's a lot of pretty coral, shell decorations, and some pretty algae floating around outside. In addition to these, the most around is white veil, which is decorated on the pillars and window lattices, like a crystal castle in a dream. She walked over and took a closer look, and it was not an ordinary white yarn, but a shark yarn. Shark yarn has always been precious, except for the shark people who can use shark yarn so luxuriously, there are probably only some immortals with strong immortal law. Thinking of this, she was overjoyed, maybe this immortal could help her, if not, it would be good to show her a clear path.

Tao Yao completely fell into her own imagination, and didn't notice that behind the layers of white veil, a woman slowly walked up. She had only a hairpin of red coral loosely inserted on her head, and her hair fell down and draped over her shoulders. There is no powder on the face, but it is unforgettable, with red lips and bright teeth, and bright eyes and a light smile. Wearing a dress made of white gauze, the lotus step was lightly moved, and the skirt was glowing with colorful streamers.

"Woke up?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind her, Tao Yao was startled, and when she looked back, she was even more surprised. The person in front of him has a stunning appearance, and the only person who can be compared to it today is the Nuwa Niangniang of the Nine Heavens. It's just that Nuwa Niangniang has always been cold, and the person in front of her has a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"Sorry to interrupt. Did you save me?" Tao Yao thought that if she fell into a coma not because the hour had come, then it must have been caused by being in the water for a long time. If no one rescues him, he is afraid that he will already become a lonely soul under this water.

"So to speak. ”

"Thank you immortals for saving me, may I ask where is this?" Although she asked, Tao Yao also had a guess in her heart, but she was not very sure, after all, she would be in the same place every time she woke up before, but this time it was different. She didn't know if it was she who really got rid of it, or if it was just because she was here that made a difference.

"This is the bottom of the Huaishui River, my Koi Palace, people call me Mrs. Koi, you can also call me that. ”

"Mrs. Koi!" Tao Yao bowed respectfully. Tao Yao couldn't hide her words, and then she expressed her doubts, "I still want you to tell me something." When I was on it before, I woke up in the same place every day, met the same people every day, and happened the same thing every day. But why did I wake up differently this time? ”

"This Huaishui River runs through ancient and modern times, and it is naturally different from other places. It is not subject to any outside influence. As you said, you're supposed to be trapped in a chaotic plane. ”

"But that's the case, you know?" This kind of thing is unbelievable, if it weren't for Tao Yao's real experience, she would not believe it if she only heard others talk about it, but she didn't expect this koi lady to be surprised at all.

"Nature knows. This Huaishui River connects multiple time and space, normal, chaotic, and dislocated, and I have met people like you in tens of thousands of years. "Mrs. Koi still has a clear smile on her face when she talks about this, as casually as she says, 'It's so nice today'.

"Is there a way for me to go back?" As soon as the words came out, Tao Yao also felt a little anxious, so she had to wait for her answer in embarrassment.

"Where?"

Tao Yao was about to say something when she was interrupted by Mrs. Koi.

"If you want to go back to the plane you were in, just go ashore. But if you want to return to this time and space that originally belonged to you, I advise you not to be delusional, this matter is as difficult as the sky. ”

"Is it as hard as the sky?" Tao Yao repeated her words, inexplicably a little excited. She didn't care about the literal meaning of Mrs. Koi, but thought of another meaning beneath the words. It's just hard, it doesn't mean it's not. Tao Yao thought that this was about the best news she had ever heard.

"Yes, but there are always some people who are delusional. Look at that!" Lady Koi pointed to the fluttering algae outside, "and the only reason why they are so lush is because of the white bones of those fools buried underneath. ”

Mrs. Koi's fluttering words made Tao Yao feel cold, and when she just woke up, she still thought those algae were beautiful.

Tao Yao looked at her with some suspicion.

"Don't look at me like that, that's not my credit. I just couldn't bear to let them get eaten by the fish, so I buried their corpses underneath."

Tao Yao didn't think that burying it under it would be much better than making fish feed for algae. Because eventually, even the bones will be turned to ashes. She looked at the fluttering algae, so lush, she didn't know how many people were buried underneath. She thought that maybe there was no shortage of idiots like her in this world. But even if you really want to be a member of this white bone in the future, it is better than being greedy for life and dying in this strange time and space for a lifetime.

"And let me know that if I am really unfortunate enough to be one of them, it will be my calamity, and it will be good to be able to add some scenery to this palace. Tao Yao only thought for a moment and then made up her mind.

"If you insist, I will not stop you. But I can only help you show you the way, whether you succeed or not, it depends on your creation, it's just ......" Mrs. Koi glanced at Tao Yao, but smiled silently.

"Just how?" Tao Yao knew she was waiting for her to ask.

"But I won't tell you until you have not repaid me for your life. ”

"Uh......" Tao Yao didn't want to repay the favor, but when she heard her say it so openly, she felt a little incredible. After all, Mrs. Koi gives her the feeling that she is not the kind of person who will beg for favors.

"Why? you don't want to?" Mrs. Koi looked at her with an eyebrow.

"No, no, naturally, I am willing. Madame and I have been gracious, and I should repay it. If Madame needs my help, I will do my best. Tao Yao said and saluted again.

She didn't notice the triumphant smile on Mrs. Koi's face when she lowered her head.

"You have a good rest now, someone will arrange for you tomorrow. After speaking, without waiting for Tao Yao to answer, Shi Shiran left.

Although Tao Yao was full of doubts, but she thought that there was hope, although this hope was still very slim, her heart was still grateful.

On the second day, before Tao Yao got up, the old turtle came,

"Get up, get up!" the old turtle lay on Tao Yao's bedside, poked his head to look at Tao Yao, who was still sleeping, and called out to her.

Tao Yao fell asleep late the night before, so she slept very well at this hour. The old turtle shouted twice and found that there was no response, so he increased the volume. "Wake up!!!"

Tao Yao heard the voice and sat up from the bed abruptly. Then he turned his head and saw the black ** looking at himself with his eyes rolled, "Mom!" was so frightened that he fell off the bed all of a sudden.

"You girl, do I look so scary, old turtle?"

In fact, it's no wonder that Tao Yao is not so timid. But she woke up yesterday and didn't see the old turtle, she wasn't familiar with it, and now she woke up and saw a strange head next to her bed, no matter how strong the person in her heart was, she couldn't stand it.

Hearing the old turtle's words, Tao Yao slowly got up from the end of the stone bed, only to find that the opposite side was not a monster, but a turtle.

Tao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her chest and stood up, "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't wake up in a groggy state just now, and I was startled when I was suddenly woken up." ”

"Alright, well, let's get to work! Madame asked me to call you. ”

After saying that, the old turtle turned around and walked out, and Tao Yao followed behind him, chatting with the old turtle at the same time.

"Do you know what Mrs. Koi told me to do?"

"You'll know when you get there!"

Tao Yao looked at the huge old turtle in front of her, and couldn't help but think in her heart, "How many years have you to live this?"

"I've been an old turtle for at least tens of thousands of years, and I can't remember how much it is, I'm old and I don't have a good memory. ”

It turned out that Tao Yao accidentally said what was in her heart. "Then I have to call you Grandpa Turtle!"

I have to say that Tao Yao's words are very good, and the old turtle laughed. "Old turtle, I have no children and no daughters in my life, and now it is good to have a granddaughter!"

"Grandpa Turtle!" Tao Yao originally just thought that it was so much older than herself, and it was polite to call it grandpa, but now that she heard it say that, she screamed a little more sincerely.
