Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Missing Spirit
"What, am I saying something wrong?" Qi Lu said quietly.
"The spirits of the fifteen main gods of Kunlun have all disappeared from them, isn't this sin big enough?" The beast's expression was solemn, and there was no ordinary friendly posture.
"No, it's not something we did!" "It's none of what I do!" ”……
The sound of the women's justification suddenly sounded in the room, and the girl who was a little less timid was already in tears, which made Qi Lu unbearable to pay attention.
"Beauties are quiet!" Although the beast's words were light, the room immediately fell silent, but Qi Lu turned his head sideways, he had already sensed from this detail that the beast seemed to be very authoritative here.
Lao Wu suddenly asked, "What do you want to do with these beauties?" ”
"It's not that I want to, but I have to uphold the will of the Emperor of Heaven." The beast's tone softened again, "Until this matter is revealed, they can only stay here and wait for the fate." ”
"The will of the Emperor of Heaven?" Lao Wu said with a smile: "Joke, since the main god is no longer in their body, how do you know His Majesty's will?" ”
"Lord Tianwu, in the midst of the mirror, the will of the Emperor of Heaven is omnipresent."
"yes, then why didn't I feel it?"
"Come on, you will soon be able to feel the glory of the Emperor of Heaven."
"Look at what you say, if you weren't a famous liar, I would almost believe it."
"Haha, Lord Tianwu, you really know me too well. Isn't there a saying in human beings that seeing is believing? If you stay in the mirror for a few more days, you'll be able to tell for yourself whether what I'm saying is true or not. The beast put on a well-behaved smile, "But don't discuss these disappointments for now, as the contact between you and the Immortal Venerable, I should solemnly welcome the two of you to the Guanghan Palace." ”
After speaking, he walked up to the gods. It was only then that the kneeling gods dared to rise from the ground and respectfully obey the instructions of the beast.
"You go and report to the Immortal Venerable first, and the two adults and I will arrive later."
"Yes." Several gods pushed open the door and leapt into the air, heading straight for the highest palace on Mount Kinabalu.
"Do you want us to walk to the Guanghan Palace?" Lao Wu shouted angrily.
"Of course not, how dare I snub the two adults." The beast smiled and beckoned to the sky, and suddenly the sky was bright and clear, and several cranes pulled two agarwood chariots from the clouds slowly and landed in the courtyard outside the door.
"Get in the driver!" The beast bowed.
"This is also ...... It's so grand! Old Wu's tongue stretched out, you must know that in Kunlun Divine Mountain, only fifteen main gods are qualified to ride the Agarwood Ring, and he can't believe that he can enjoy this kind of treatment now.
The beast replied disappreciatively: "Follow the customs, if the two of you are more restrained, it will be out of sight." ”
"Wait!" Qi Lu spoke suddenly.
"What, are you going to see you too?" The beast grinned and said, "My lord didn't have any shelf before. Could it be that in these days in the world, have you also learned to pay attention to etiquette? ”
"Not really." Qi Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that there are some things, I want to ask them clearly now, so as not to have time to ask later." ”
"My lord, I will answer without reservation."
"These women...... When did you find out that the spirits of the Lord Gods had disappeared from their bodies? ”
"Well, I knew that the adults would be eager to pursue these mysteries." "The exact time was the night I went to Death Valley to meet you. ”
"Can you tell me exactly what's going on?"
Before the beast could speak, Lao Wu impatiently grabbed the conversation and said, "Hmph, it's useless to ask!" Do you know if what he said was true and what he said was false? ”
Hearing Lao Wu's obviously hostile words, the beast didn't care, and he said in a soft voice: "What Lord Tianwu said is extremely true, about the mysterious things that happened that night, it is more appropriate for the person concerned to answer. ”
Qi Lu nodded yes and turned his gaze to the girls in the room. "Can you tell me what happened that night?"
Zhao Xiaohong stepped forward and said: "We don't know what's going on, we were fine before we fell asleep that night, and when we woke up the next morning, the sisters found that their bodies had returned to normal." ”
"Don't you feel anything out of the ordinary?"
"No, I don't feel anything." Zhao Xiaohong lowered her head and replied, although she still didn't know the origin of Qi Lu and Lao Wu, she had already noticed from the conversation just now that the identities of these two strange men were extremely noble, so she unconsciously showed a little humility between her words.
"However, according to the gods on duty that night, there were colorful divine lights flashing in the courtyard, which lasted for less than a second and then fell silent." The beast added.
"Ah, such a thing?" Qi Lu asked: "Did Chang'e send someone to check at that time?" ”
"No, this kind of auspicious omen may happen at any time in the immortal realm, so the gods will not take this matter to heart."
"So, it wasn't until the next day that Jinghua Shuiyue found out about the disappearance of the main god?"
"Yes."
"Presumably, Jinghua Shuiyue still has no clue about this strange thing, right?" Lao Wu interjected coldly.
"That's true, so Immortal Venerable is very annoyed by this matter, and the two adults have been delayed in coming, so she has been meditating in the palace for the past few days and entered the realm of meditation."
"Does Chang'e want to find clues through her divine sense?"
"Yes, but so far, nothing." The beast paused, raised its beautiful eyebrows, and said, "But fortunately, the two adults have arrived in the fairyland, and I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to solve this mystery." ”
"Alas, I said you can't praise me so much in the future!" Hearing this untraced compliment, Lao Wu's vigilance against the beast had slowly relaxed unconsciously.
"So let's ask the two adults to go to the Guanghan Palace as soon as possible to meet with Immortal Venerable E, so as to arrange the next plan of action."
"Okay." Qi Lu and Lao Wu responded in unison, if something like this happened, there was no need for them to delay time.
Just when Qi Lu was about to go up, he suddenly felt that someone was gently pulling the placket of his clothes, and when he looked back, Zhao Xiaohong was staring at him with a pair of big watery eyes, and he couldn't help asking, "Miss Zhao, is there something wrong with you?" ”
"You, are you familiar with the owner here?" Seeing Qi Lu nodding yes, she hurriedly whispered in a pleading tone: "Then when you see Immortal Venerable, can you do me a favor and ask her not to imprison us here like prisoners?" ”
Qi Lu smiled slightly, nodded and agreed to her request. He understood Zhao Xiaohong's mood very well, even in the fairyland, losing freedom was a very painful thing.
The breeze was gentle all the way, the beast was like a coachman leading the way in front, and the crane flew slowly behind, leading the two to the Guanghan Palace. Qi Lu, who was sitting on the agarwood chariot, had a solemn face and fell into contemplation.
In his mind, he could roughly judge that when the courtyard where the woman lived was lit up with colorful light that night, it was the time when the gods and spirits disappeared, but what was the reason for this? Qi Lu was puzzled.
If the gods left on their own, what was their purpose? The time of the dawn of the gods was approaching, and the Emperor had no reason to allow the gods to act rashly; If someone hijacked the gods of the gods and forced them out of the host's body, then an even stranger question ensued, that is, who had such super strength to hide from the eyes of the gods and do such a rebellious thing?
The more Qi Lu thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became, and when he came back to his senses, the chariot had fallen to the ground smoothly, he got up and saw that the writing on the low palace turned out to be the Sifang Station, and he immediately turned his head and asked the beast: "This is not the Guanghan Palace!" ”
"This is the daily resting place of the two adults." There was a sly glint in the beast's eyes.
At this time, several cranes also spread their wings and flew high, and in the blink of an eye, they burrowed into the clouds and disappeared, Qi Lu's suspicion in his heart became even thicker, he frowned and said, "Then when will we go to Guanghan Palace?" ”
"Immortal Venerable is trying to talk to the Heavenly Emperor through meditation at the moment, so let's not disturb her for the time being."
"In that case, then why did you just urge us to meet with Chang'e?"
The beast lowered its head and laughed, but its expression contained a sense of arrogance. "Now that the two adults have arrived in the fairyland, they should return to their original appearance. Therefore, the contact time with humans should not be long, which will lose the identity of the gods. ”
Qi Lu suddenly became angry, and he said coldly: "According to what you say, have I wasted more than a thousand years of time in front of me?" ”
"My lord, you are embarrassed for me to ask such a profound question." At the embarrassing moment, the beast used a coquettish tone to resolve the embarrassment in front of him.
At this time, the palace door was opened, and several young fairies came to guide them into the room to rest. The beast was also afraid that Qi Lu would be unable to cope with it if he asked again, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.
Lao Wu sneered and watched the beast turn into brilliance and leave, but Qi Lu looked a little upset. The two of them followed the fairy into the room to rest.
Before I knew it, it was dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun was obliquely reflected on the edge of the window, and the fairy who served Qi Lu smiled softly, picked up the bowl of mixed fairy tea, and put it on the jade table in front of Qi Road.
Qi Lu retracted his thoughts slightly, and then took the white jade cup, his tentacles were cold, like holding a piece of cold ice. His heart sank, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at the fairy in front of him, his skin was better than snow, his black hair was like ink, and his eyes were faintly cold like ice, and he was stunned for a moment.
"My lord, can't you get used to drinking?"
"Oh, that's not it." Qi Lu staggered his gaze, and lost his mind for a moment. He finished drinking the tea with a cup, and the slightly hot liquid flowed down his throat into his abdomen, but he inexplicably felt a slight coolness in his body.
When Qi Lu put down the white jade cup, a thought also came to him spontaneously, and he decided to go to Guanghan Palace alone to meet Chang'e now, because there were some things he just wanted to tell this old man.
So he pushed the door and walked slowly up the white and crystal stone steps under his feet, and the fairy who served him did not stop him, but closed the door for him and quietly disappeared.
