Chapter 9, The First Encounter in the Red Forest (8)

She didn't know where Li Qi was going, so she just led Li Qi to follow him, but Li Qi didn't say a word all the way.

Yue Yue really felt bored, so he began to bombard Li Qi's ears like a talisman.

"My brother and Yue Yulei haven't eaten yet, right? I heard my brother say that it depends on your arrangement, you can't withhold their food!

Also, are you really a fairy who doesn't need to eat? Won't you be hungry?

Have you really lived here all along? But let me tell you, I used to go to the city and eat Western pastries, and they were delicious!

You haven't eaten it before, right?

When I go out another day, I can ask someone to buy some back and give you a taste, and I promise you'll find it delicious, too! ”

"My brother said, you ......" Yue Yue paused.

"You've lived thousands of years, really?"

"Really"

Yue Yue was also ready to continue to exert the power of her three-inch incorruptible tongue, but she didn't expect Li Qian to actually answer her question.

She didn't react, and as soon as she let go of her hand, she saw that Li Qi had already taken two steps forward.

"Alas! Uncle, you wait for me! ”

Yue Yue hurriedly trotted to keep up and continued to grab Li Lot's sleeve, originally ready to let him shake it off once, but this time Li Pick didn't move, but let her grab it.

I guess I felt that it would be useless to get rid of it, so I just let myself hold it, Yue Yue thought.

But he said that he really lived for thousands of years, but Yue Yue still didn't fully accept it, thousands of years old, it is estimated that the bones have turned to ashes, how can he still look like a teenager?

Could it be that he is some kind of goblin? Shouldn't all immortals be white-bearded old men?

And this person doesn't look like a god, does he?

"You say you really lived for thousands of years? Then I can't call you uncle, I want to call you ancestor?

And what are you a god for? Are the gods as good-looking as you? ”

Yue Yue herself didn't know that she would praise people one day, she had been so proud since she was a child, and she would never do it if she praised others.

But that's how she blurted it out, and she was still an eccentric person who didn't know anything about it, and she was still in such an environment and state.

There was a hint of banter, but she never said anything about someone being good-looking or someone smart.

She heard her own words, and they all fell into deep suspicion.

It seems that since she entered the Red Leaf Forest, there have been so many things that can make her self-doubt, is it because she is in such an environment that she has never seen before?

Or is it because you hear these things that you never dared to think about?

Thinking about it, Yue Yue stopped talking, and he didn't see any reaction from Li Yue.

In this way, the two men walked forward in silence, and only the footsteps of the two were left in the hallway.

After a while, the two came to the door of the room where Yue Yue was sleeping, and Yue Yue suddenly thought of Li Qian pinching his head with his hand last night, so much strength, how powerful are his fingers?

Thinking about it, she let go of the sleeve of Li Sign's sleeve with one hand and reached for his exposed palm, wanting to see why his fingers were so strong.

Yue Yue's speed was extremely fast, and he raised his hand in front of him to observe it, but Li Zhu was caught off guard by this action and didn't react for a while.

When Yue Yue had already raised his hand, he only listened to him, "Let go!" ”

But Yue Yue could already see the details of his hand at this time, she didn't look at her fingers, but was attracted by another phenomenon:

I saw that from the place where Yue Yue's thumb touched the back of Li Jian's hand, Li Jian's hand quickly faded to both sides, becoming like the skin of a dead person.

Yue Yue was shocked by this scene, and was at a loss for a moment, Li Qian quickly withdrew his hand.

Yue Yue came back to his senses and looked, only to see that his hand had returned to the bloody appearance it had just now.

"How...... What's going on? Yue Yue asked with a little stammer.

Li Qian just looked at his hand, then at Yue Yue, and said, "You are wrong." ”

Mistaken? How could it be wrong? When you are blind?

It was as if his blood was hiding from his own hand, as if a flaming match had suddenly been put into a pile of ants, and then the ants had scattered as if they had fled.

Can't gods come into contact with people? Because the blood of immortals is afraid of mortals? Yue Yue was puzzled, but he didn't hesitate and continued to follow Li Qi.

Further on, there is the road with a fork in the road.

Yue Yue followed Li Zhu to join the first one who came from this side, and walked forward about a dozen steps, but saw that there was a fork on the left and right in front of him, because the stone room of the corridor was now all lit up, Yue Yue could clearly see the end of each road.

And the strange thing is that the end of these two sides of the road is not a white marble room like the one Yue Yue has visited, but directly a wall.

Li Qi took the lead in walking into the stone path on the right, and Yue Yue also followed.

After walking a distance, Yue Yue saw clearly that there was not nothing here: at the end of the corridor, there was a pool of water hollowed out downward, the same width as the left and right walls, but extending outward from the end about two zhang long.

Yue Yue suddenly thought of the cold canal she saw in the woods, could it be that there was an underground river under the ground in this forest?

"Are these two pools connected underneath?" Yue Yue asked.

"Yes" Unexpectedly, Li Qian actually answered her question, "put your hand in".

"What?"

Yue Yue didn't understand why Li Zhu would let her put her hand in the pool, she was afraid that something like Yue Yulei would suddenly scratch her finger after taking it.

But what can she do now? Q: Why?

Try it, she thought, crouching down and holding out a hand into the water.

"Another" Li Tie spoke again, and asked Yue Yue to change his hand!

Yue Yue let out an "oh", retracted the hand he had just stretched out, and put his other hand into the pool.

The same coldness spread from her hands to her whole body, and she couldn't help but shiver again.

Although he didn't know what Li Qi wanted him to do, it seemed that it was just like the canal in Lin Zaili, and it wouldn't be dangerous to her life.

It's just that it suddenly occurred to her that her own blood was difficult to dissolve in that canal at that time, and it should be the same here, and she looked into the water.

This hand is the one that was scratched by Yue Yulei.

When she saw it, she was shocked: she saw that her wound was gone!

She suddenly thought that the same was true of the canal in the forest at that time, a big opening, which also disappeared after touching the water!

She suddenly got up and turned her head to ask Li Qi.

But the moment she got up, maybe it was a temporary brain deprivation caused by the sudden squatting just now, she felt a burst of dizziness, her eyes went black, and she fell backwards.

She felt her whole body sink downward.

Suddenly, it seemed that Li Tie rushed over and grabbed her clothes and took her with him, but it seemed that Li Tie didn't grasp it, and Yue Yue continued to pour towards the pool.

At the moment when she fell into the pool, her eyes could see some hazy scenes, but she saw Li Zhu's figure also rushing downward.

Then, there was a mess of falling water.

Yue Yue suddenly fell into the water and naturally didn't react, the water was so cold that she felt a tingling pain all over her body, the water poured in from her nose, she wanted to breathe, but when she opened her mouth, there was a big mouthful of water pouring in, she couldn't adjust, she could only let the water pour into her mouth.

In a trance, she felt as if someone had grabbed her arm, lifted it up, and then lost consciousness.

In the dream, Yue Yue saw the red maple leaf forest again, saw a person in white waving towards her in front of her, saw him hand her a cup of orange-red tea, and heard him say a word, but she still couldn't see his face clearly.

But this time, Yue Yue actually felt a burst of indescribable emotions, obviously not sad but wanted to cry, I don't know if it was everything she had suffered here in the past two days that caused her to be emotionally depressed.

She woke up

But it wasn't like last time, but when she regained consciousness, she felt a burst of fragrance, which was the taste of the glass of water that Yue Ling handed her after eating!

She searched for the source of the scent, only to find that it came from her own mouth!

She swallowed, making sure the scent wasn't smelling, but felt inside her body!

She blinked vigorously to see clearly: she was lying on the ground by the pool, her clothes were all wet and stuck to her body, and Li Zhu, who was sitting next to her, looked at her expressionlessly, and her clothes were all wet.

It seemed that Li Qian jumped in and scooped himself up, Yue Yue thought, but why did he put himself on the cold ground like this?

Although it was summer, the clothes were soaked and still placed on the jade floor, which was indeed a little cold.

Suddenly, Yue Yue sat up, leaned over and poked her head towards the pool next to her, and the ghost made a fool of her hand scoop a handful of water and began to drink, sure enough, after taking a sip, she felt the fragrance again, but when she sniffed it with her nose, she couldn't smell anything. Coincidentally, she thought, there is still a smell in the world that can only be felt by the body.

"What kind of water is this? So amazing? ”

She poured out the water in her hand and turned her head to look at Li Ti.

But she suddenly realized that just now she and Li Qian both fell into this pool, wouldn't that be equivalent to drinking the bath water of herself and Li Ding?

Thinking about it, I don't know if it was because of the cold, she shivered.

"Seven Star Pond Water" Yue Yue is used to saying a lot of things by herself and Li Yue doesn't answer, although this is not the first time Li Yue has answered her, Yue Yue was still stunned for a moment before reacting.

Suddenly, I thought of the altar that I have to go to every year on Bishan, and the name is called "Seven Star Terrace", is there a connection between these two places?

"Does the Seven Star Terrace on Bishan have anything to do with this Seven Star Pool?"

"The red leaf forest is raised by the water of the seven star ponds, leading it to the cold canal, passing through the seven pools, passing through the five mountains, converging in Bishan, taking the sky as the sacrifice ground as the platform, saying that the seven stars gather in the place, and the solid saying is the seven star platform.

And the water of the Seven Stars Pond can heal the Holy Spirit, and it is called the water of holy cold.

This is one of the Seven Star Pools, Kaiyang Pond. ”

Yue Yue was stunned, she didn't expect Li Qian to say such a long thing at all, she opened her mouth, but forgot what she should say.

After sorting out the words I just heard that I couldn't understand for a while, I heard him say this, that is, the Seven Star Pond is an underground river system under the red leaf forest!

Why is it so difficult to understand, fortunately, Yue Yue has read through ancient books since she was a child, otherwise she definitely knows nothing about this sudden "old old saying".

"Don't you talk like we do? How do you speak? ”

Yue Yue looked at the strange person in front of him, is it a god?

Is it really an ancient god? Is it because we lived in the past that we can't adapt to the way people speak today?

Li Jian's long black hair, because it was wet, was all stuck to his back, and Yue Yue looked uncomfortable.

I thought that I must take this "old guy" out to see the outside world, especially in the city, where there is electricity, there are many beautiful clothes and shoes, and there are many delicious snacks......

"Uncle Li, can I cut your hair?"

Yue Yue seems to have become accustomed to calling this thousand-year-old immortal "Uncle Li", it seems that only this title will not make Yue Yue feel uncomfortable, but it is very suitable for all the characteristics of this person.

She thought, this person is good-looking, but the fly in the ointment is the waist-length hair like a "cancer of the old society", she feels annoyed as a woman, if it is cut short, then this uncle will go out and "overwhelm the Quartet".

Yue Yue looked at Li Sign, staring at his abyss-like eyes, waiting for his answer. She believes that this time she can also get a reply.

Sure enough, I saw that Li Qian also looked at Yue Yue's eyes and said, "Okay"
