Chapter 142: Tempting the Void and the Truth
Chu Yingying looked at Lu Kongkong in the distance stupidly, she had never seen such a handsome man, his figure was taller and straighter than that of ordinary men in the Streaming Film World, although his eyes were sharp, but it did not damage his cold and resolute temperament at all
It's just that watching Qi Ning'an pull Lu Kongkong's arm and be coquettish, coaxed him to lower his head, and kissed him on the face, his face suddenly became soft, Chu Yingying lowered his head gloomily, and he still felt that the delicious coarse grain cakes had become tasteless
Qi Ning'an finally persuaded Lu Kongkong and agreed to take Chu Yingying to the Flowing Shadow Realm she said
It's just that when Doudou came back and a few people were about to leave, Chu Yingying looked around blankly and said something that disappointed Qi Ning'an
"I don't know which direction to go in the Shadow Realm, when I came out, I just buried my head in the front, and I didn't know the direction at all...... I...... I've never been out before, so, I don't know ...... either."
"Then why are you going out alone? Aren't you afraid of encountering man-eating creatures? ”
Lu Kongkong, who was walking behind Qi Ning'an and Chu Yingying, landed on Chu Yingying with a scrutinizing gaze
Chu Yingying tried her best not to be too nervous, and replied in a low voice: "We people in the Streaming Shadow Realm often go out, and I haven't heard of any man-eating beasts......"
Lu Kongkong was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced: "Do you often go out?" Why? ”
"Adults probably don't know that our Shadow Realm is a group of karst caves located at the foot of the limestone mountain, and if we live in the caves all year round, we may be hindered to our eyes, so we need to go up to the ground every day to hunt and gather food, so that our eyes will not degenerate and close......"
"I see, by the way, you said that the Flowing Shadow Realm is located in the Limestone Mountain, is that if you find the Limestone Mountain, you can find the Flowing Shadow Realm?"
Qi Ning'an asked excitedly, listening to Chu Yingying say that the Flowing Shadow World is actually located in the cave, presumably the landscape inside is definitely very different from the ground, if you can go in and watch it, it will be an eye-opener
"Theoretically, but there are a lot of peaks here, do you know what the limestone mountains look like?"
Lu Kongkong teased Qi Ning'an, and wanted to tease her, but Chu Yingying thought he was asking her, and said happily: "The limestone mountain is very recognizable, it is bare without any trees, and the height is only about half of the other peaks."
Lu Kongkong glanced at her and didn't speak again, Chu Yingying hung her head in embarrassment, not understanding what she said wrong, why did he look at her with a look that she had a lot of things to do?
Qi Ning'an didn't notice her abnormality, and her attention was focused on the peaks that were faintly visible in the distance, but the distance was too far, and the surrounding trees were very lush, even if she jumped in place several times, she still couldn't see if there were any so-called bare mountains there
"Doudou, you go to the front and take a look, where is the bare mountain, see that we go in that direction"
Doudou was not very reluctant: "Why did you let me go?" Wouldn't you let Lu Kong jump to the treetops and take a look? ”
Qi Ning'an rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "You can always find something along the way, I think your luck is better, good, go quickly!" ”
"Don't go, you let Lu Kong go, he grows so tall, he can see it by jumping on a tree casually, I'm so short, how far do I have to run to see clearly? I won't go."
Doudou said that he didn't want to run to the front to do coolies, and Qi Ningan was so angry that he was about to reach out to hit him, but he retreated and dodged
"Slightly...... Can't hit, can't hit."
Doudou stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Qi Ning'an, ran to Lu Kongkong's back, pushed him, and Lu Kongkong pushed the boat down the river and hugged Qi Ning'an, who rushed over
"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed for him, you wait here for a while, I'll go to the tree and see which direction to go"
Lu Kongkong secretly pinched Qi Ning'an's slender waist, and then under his angry expression, he flew up and jumped onto a big tree, then took a few steps forward, and quickly disappeared into the bushes
"You sit down and rest, I'll go get some water nearby"
Doudou was afraid that Qi Ning'an would trouble him again, so he stood far away, stretched out his hand to Qi Ning'an and begged for her water bladder, and quickly turned around and ran away after arriving
Qi Ning'an turned his head and beckoned Chu Yingying to sit down in place, and asked with great interest about the situation in the Flowing Shadow Realm
“…… I've grown so big, I haven't seen any man-eating beasts, and the same goes for everyone else, we have to go up to the ground every day to find fresh food, and hunt some pheasants and hares for meat, and those fish and shrimp in the rivers and lakes, oh, by the way, we have a special food in the Shadow Realm, and I must treat you to try it then......"
Qi Ning'an listened with relish, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of food?" ”
"Blind Fish!"
Chu Yingying said with a smile, Qi Ning'an felt that the name was a little strange: "Blind fish? Is it a fish that can't see with the eyes? ”
"That's right, this fish grows at the bottom of the cave group and has not been exposed to any light, so the eyes are degraded and closed, and the body gradually becomes crystalline, and it is the most delicious to eat before they have just degenerated and have not completely become clear."
Qi Ning'an was curious: "The bottom? Is there still several levels in your Shadow Realm? ”
Chu Yingying nodded: "There are as few as three floors, and as many as six floors, but we generally live in places with two or three floors, so that it is not too cold, and places above the fourth floor, where the Lord of the Boundary Keeper and the Boundary Guard live......"
"Then what kind of person are you Guardians of the Shadow Realm?"
Chu Yingying hesitated for a moment, a little unsure: "I don't know, I haven't seen it, the Boundary Keeper of our Flowing Shadow Realm rarely shows up, and no one knows what he looks like and what his personality is.... But my grandfather once said that when he was very young, he had met the Keeper of the Realm once, and he had never talked to him, but he knew that he was a very gentle elder."
"Really? So mysterious? ”
Qi Ning'an touched his chin and began to guess the appearance of this fellow Guardian of the Shadow Realm
It's supposed to be an old man, right? If Chu Yingying's grandfather saw an elder when he was a child, he is very old now, and when he arrives in the Flowing Shadow Realm, it is necessary to visit this elder, after all, he should know more about the situation in the south
Qi Ning'an then asked Chu Yingying some more about the situation in the Flowing Shadow Realm, Chu Yingying answered patiently, and when the two were chatting happily, Doudou, who went to fetch water, came back
"How about it, did you find anything when you went out this time?"
Qi Ning'an couldn't help but tease him when he thought that he would gain something every time he appeared
Doudou rolled his eyes widely, handed her the water bladder, and replied weakly, "I didn't find anything, but,"
He looked at Qi Ning'an pitifully and said, "I found that I was hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”
Qi Ning'an was very surprised, Doudou had never shouted hungry, after coming out of the spirit world, he was not very interested in the food on the vast continent, except for some spirit grass, and the fruits brought out from the spirit world, he basically didn't eat much
There had always been a battle before, and after he cut those creatures, the spiritual power absorbed by the big knife should have turned into a full stomach, and she had never seen Doudou when he was hungry
It's just that now, why did he suddenly cry out that he was hungry?
Qi Ning'an took out some fruit from Nazhu and handed it to Doudou, he didn't pick it, picked up the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating, he reached out and asked Qi Ning'an for it
"Also, I'm hungry"
"No, I'll go over there with you to find out if there's any fruit to eat, right? Or, you wait for Lu Kongkong to come back, and he has food on him."
"I'm going to eat it now"
Beanie pouted, looking like he was hungry
Qi Ning'an had no choice but to say to Chu Yingying: "You sit here first, my brother and I will go find something to eat."
Chu Yingying nodded, I don't know why, I actually had some thoughts of hoping that they would go for a longer time
Qi Ning'an pulled Doudou, and after walking for a while, he turned to the back of a big tree, and after confirming that Chu Yingying should not be able to hear them, Qi Ning'an took out a dozen golden fruits from Nazhu and let Doudou put them in his Nazhu necklace
"When eating, remember to avoid strangers, you know? I don't know which foods you can eat and which you can't eat on the vast continent, and when there are no creatures for you to cut, you can eat the fruit first to satisfy your hunger."
Qi Ning'an glanced back at Chu Yingying's direction, and then admonished: "That Chu girl was very surprised when she first saw me taking things from Nazhu, and now we are not particularly clear about her situation, do you remember not to talk too much about us in front of her, understand?" ”
Doudou nodded, and couldn't help but laugh at her: "It seems that you have more words yourself, right?" I see you're having a good time chatting with her."
"What do you know, I took the opportunity to find out the news, if she is a citizen of the Flowing Shadow World, she must be very clear about all kinds of the Flowing Shadow World, on the contrary, if she is pretending, then between the words, there will be flickering words, contradictory to the situation"
Qi Ning'an sighed lightly, looked into the depths of the woods, and whispered again: "But at present, her performance is flawless."
"Oh, don't think about it so much, maybe she is really just an ordinary girl, besides, if she is really wrong, doesn't she still have land, air and air?"
Doudou didn't think so, just Chu Yingying's delicate and weak appearance, what could he do to them?
"Do you still want to eat the fruit?"
Qi Ning'an suddenly asked him, Doudou thought for a while, and was a little reluctant to eat: "That, keep it first, do you still have bread?" I want to try that, and every time I see you eating it, I always think it's delicious."
"Yes, yes, are you sure, you can eat that?"
Qi Ning'an was a little uneasy, took out a piece of coarse grain cake, and broke a small piece for him: "You eat a little bit first, if there is no adverse reaction, I will give you a little more"
Doudou took the cake and threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, smashed it a few times, drank two sips of water, waited for a while, blinked and said, "It's okay, it's just, it feels, it's not very delicious"
"As long as you can eat enough, do you still want to eat?"
Qi Ning'an shook the remaining coarse grain cake, Doudou just wanted to reach out to take it, but he shrank back halfway, holding his stomach, and his face changed greatly
"Oh no, my stomach hurts....."
