Chapter 25: Concealment
The house was in a mess, and Xinlan didn't think too much about it, so she could only wait until tomorrow to tidy it up.
The next day, Xinlan got up early and went to Her Majesty's residence to ask her about the energy fluctuations in her pineapple, and Her Majesty explained the reason to Xinlan very apologetically.
After the latter heard Her Majesty's detailed information, Her Majesty also took Xinlan to the entrance of the Library Pavilion.
Due to the disappearance of the Xuanmen, Her Majesty the Queen had no choice but to replace the original Xuanmen with the current bronze door.
"Are you saying that Li'er was absorbed by the Xuanmen here, causing the energy in her body to skyrocket instantly?" At this time, Xinlan stroked the edge of the bronze door with her right hand, and turned her head towards Her Majesty and asked.
"That's right, at the time... The pear looked very painful. Her Majesty continued: "No matter how close I tried, I was repelled by the energy fluctuations. ā
After hearing what Her Majesty the Queen said, Xinlan was silent for a long time, and kept checking several edges of the bronze door, and then, Xinlan's right hand was attached to the edge of the copper door, and then poured Yuan Li into the palm, her eyes slowly closed, and the halo from the palm loomed.
Long...
Xin Lan slowly opened her eyes, and withdrew the Yuan Force infusion in her palm, slowly put her right hand under her body, and muttered with a somewhat stunned expression: "Sure enough, it's Xuan Qi." ā
"Xuanqi?" Her Majesty continued to ask, "You mean, the Xuanmen is made of Xuanqi?" ā
"I'm not sure either, but there is still some lingering breath of the Xuanmen on the edge of this bronze door." Xin Lan slowly continued: "After I poured Yuan Force into it, I found that they could not be fused together, so I guessed that it should be Xuan Qi. ā
In the exploration of the Yuan Force, Xin Lan found that his Yuan Force could not be fused with the breath left by the Xuanmen, and because he only knew that there were only two aircurrents between the heavens and the earth, the reason why he could not be fused may be because the two aircurrents were different, so Xinlan was also in suspicion.
"Is the Xuan Qi you are talking about the Xuan Qi that Pears can absorb?" At this time, Her Majesty asked Xinlan slowly.
"How do you know?" Xinlan asked.
"After that happened, I asked Pear to tell me some of it." Her Majesty turned around and said slowly.
Xinlan was behind Her Majesty the Queen, thinking: "Li'er is the righteous daughter recognized by Her Majesty, and Her Majesty knows about her own situation, and it is natural that Her Majesty knows, but... As for what Her Majesty has in mind, it is difficult to know. ā
Seeing Xin Lan, who didn't speak, Her Majesty felt something, turned to Xin Lan and said: "You don't have to worry, Li'er is my daughter I recognize, no matter what kind of shortcomings she has, I will accept it, let alone reveal the slightest rumor, if it is an advantage, I should be even more happy, right?" ā
Xinlan quickly came to her senses and smiled at Her Majesty: "Your Majesty is too worried, I'm thinking... What else did Pear tell you? ā
Her Majesty is also a smart person, so she naturally knows that Xinlan wants to know what Li'er has told her, so that she can be a reminder and a warning.
"She also told me... The matter of the Divine Phoenix Order. Her Majesty said calmly.
"She even told you about the Divine Phoenix Order?" Xin Lan was a little surprised.
"That's right, she also said... Her mother-in-law is also a cultivator. Her Majesty said.
Xinlan bowed her head slightly and was silent, her brows were slightly furrowed, but she couldn't say that she was angry: "This girl..."
"Xinlan, in fact, these are nothing, the important thing is... What's in your mind? At this time, Her Majesty came to Xinlan's side and said.
"What can I think in my heart?" Xinlan tilted her head and said.
"Li'er hasn't cultivated the Divine Phoenix Order until now, I think... And the thoughts of your heart... It's a big deal, right? Her Majesty looked at Xinlan and asked again.
"Iā" Xinlan looked at Her Majesty, but didn't know how to reply.
"What? Or is it... Something unspeakable? Her Majesty said.
Xin Lan bowed her head slightly again and was silent, her lips were closed up and down, her expression was a little solemn, but after a while, Xin Lan said, "It's okay to tell you, it's just... You don't have to tell anyone about it, because it's related to the key to Li'er's cultivation later. ā
"I swear." Her Majesty slowly closed her eyes.
"Presumably Li'er also told you simply, the two qi between heaven and earth, right?" Xinlan turned to face out, and after speaking, she turned her head and asked.
"That's right." Her Majesty said slowly.
"She may not have told you everything, so I'll tell you more." Xinlan faced the sky and said slowly.
Her Majesty didn't speak, just lowered her head slightly, and then looked at Xinlan's back again.
"There are indeed two kinds of qi in this heaven and earth, but... Xuan Qi is not as abundant as the vitality, the absorption of the vitality is the stream, the absorption of the vitality space in the absorption of the vitality, due to the abundance of the vitality, so that in the process of absorption, there are not too many obstacles, with the absorption of the absorption of the space of the vitality, it will be easy to guide out that small part of the Xuan Qi, but absorb the Xuan Qi... But it's different. ā
After Xin Lan finished speaking, he said slowly: "When absorbing Xuan Qi, you must be able to absorb Xuan Qi while guiding out the Yuan Qi, if you accidentally or forcibly absorb a trace of Yuan Qi when absorbing Xuan Qi, it will make the cultivator's own ontological qi flow disordered, which will lead to going mad, serious... He died violently on the spot. ā
"Died violently?" Her Majesty was very surprised when she heard Xinlan finish speaking.
"That's right, that's the main reason why I didn't teach Li'er to cultivate the Divine Phoenix Order for a long time." Xinlan turned to look at Her Majesty and said.
"I see, it's really hard for you." Her Majesty looked at Xinlan with some relief.
"It's not a lot of work." Xinlan continued: "The pear is still too young, and it is important to absorb Xuan Qi... It's not the best of times. ā
"It does make sense, if the pear is absorbing the vitality, I think... You've taught her a long time ago, haven't you? Her Majesty smiled.
"Of course, if it was Yuanqi, I would have started teaching Li'er when she was three years old." Xinlan also said with a wry smile.
"Li'er can have an Aunt Lan like you who thinks about everything for her, I believe... She won't let you down. Her Majesty grabbed Xinlan's skillful hand, looked at the latter, and said with relief again.
"There is another thing, because Li'er absorbed the Xuan Qi in this Xuanmen, it caused the Divine Phoenix Order in the body to break through the blockade last night." Xinlan said slowly again.
"Is it dangerous for her?" Her Majesty said nervously.
"She doesn't know yet." Xin Lan shook her head slightly.
"As long as there is no danger, let's not tell her about it just yet." Her Majesty said slowly.
Xinlan smiled at Her Majesty, but did not speak.
The two also chatted here for a few times, and soon, Her Majesty the Queen and Xinlan also left the library because of a clear understanding of the matter, Her Majesty the Queen returned to the main hall to deal with important matters in the imperial city, and Xinlan returned to her residence, but when she came back, she found that Pineapple was not in the room, so, under the guidance of the maid, she learned that Pineapple was playing at Elder Xuansi.
......
At this time, under the traction of Elder Xuansi, Pineapple came to a lively place in the city, where the population is dense, and some children are playing happily in their respective alleys, and there are many fancy utensils and interesting and beautiful things in the road.
Just as Pineapple and Elder Xuansi passed by, the people here respectfully bowed back to the two, and Elder Mo behind Elder Xuansi also followed behind the two, quietly watching Pineapple and Elder Xuansi wander around holding hands and holding small hands, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind Elder Mo, with neat and upright steps.
And just as a few people were strolling and walking, and looking at the excitement around them, Pineapple turned her head, raised her little head slightly, and asked Elder Xuansi, "Grandpa Xuansi, I have a question for you." ā
"Just ask." Elder Xuanji said casually.
"You said you're a lot older, why... Why do you have such a long beard on your face? Pineapple looked at Elder Xuansi and asked with cute eyes.
"Uh... Well..."After thinking for a moment with some inexplicability, Elder Xuanji straightened his white beard with his right hand and continued: "The old man is old, so his beard naturally grows fast. ā
"That's... Grandpa Genji, how old are you? Pineapple asked again.
"Hmm... The old man is now one hundred and sixteen. Elder Xuanji replied slowly.
"Huh?" Pineapple was surprised and continued to be cute: "So old.... Immortal? ā
"What?" Elder Xuansi suddenly asked without reacting.
Pineapple quickly covered her small mouth with her hand, stared at her with wide eyes, and stared blankly ahead for a moment, then quickly turned to Elder Xuansi, and apologized: "I'm sorry Grandpa Xuansi, I said the wrong thing." ā
"Oh... It's okay, it's okay. Elder Xuan Si waved his hand and continued, "I am indeed an old... immortal..."
Hearing this, Pineapple turned her head slightly, her eyes seemed to be a little flustered, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, which was very embarrassing.
And Elder Mo and the soldiers who were behind Elder Xuansi were smiling in a sullen voice, and their faces were red from holding back laughter, for fear of laughing out loud.
With the protection of the elders of Xuanji, Pineapple played in the city for a long time, sometimes running into the alley, laughing with her peers, sometimes coming to the crowd, watching others in the talent show, very exciting, and very happy.
The sunset was about to set, and Pineapple was also a little tired from playing at this time, so she returned to the palace with Elder Xuan Si and others.
On the steps back into the air, Xinlan was standing on the top of the steps, waiting for Pineapple.
"Aunt Lan." Pineapple trotted quickly up the steps and smiled at Xinlan.
Xinlan looked at the trotting pineapple, smiled slightly, and when the latter came to her side, she said angrily: "Don't you want to come back?" ā
"No, no." Pineapple waved her hand quickly and said coquettishly.
"Miss Feng." At this time, Elder Xuansi came behind Pineapple and smiled.
"Elder Genji." Xinlan bowed her head slightly.
"There is no need to blame Her Royal Highness Li'er, it is the old man who wants her to play a little longer." Elder Xuanji explained.
"There's really Elder Lao Xuansi." Xinlan said.
"Where, Her Royal Highness Li'er is very well-behaved, and the people in the city love her very much, and they all play very well with her." Elder Xuanji smiled.
Xinlan looked at Pineapple with a smile, but did not speak.
"Okay, Your Highness Li'er, I have been safely delivered to you, and the old man is fortunate not to be dishonored, so he will leave first." After Elder Xuanji finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Seeing Elder Xuansi leave, Xinlan quickly returned to the dormitory with Pineapple, washed the latter, changed clothes, and then asked the maid to bring some desserts.
Looking at the pineapples that were a little gobbling up, Xinlan also knew that the latter must be crazy and happy during the day.
And in Xinlan's heart, the reason why the latter is like this may be that he does not know many circumstances about himself at present, such as the departure of Fengchen, the disappearance of his brother, and the suffering of his mother.
But for Xinlan, these... Say no, no, no, no, he is also on the verge of hesitation, but Xinlan is very sure in his heart, if he says it, maybe for the latter, it is a kind of respect and an attitude, but not to say, this matter can't be hidden after all, one day, Pineapple will know, it's just that this day is a day late for Xinlan, after all, Pineapple at this time is not yet eleven years old.
"Eat slowly." Seeing that Pineapple was a little choked, Xinlan quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Pineapple, and said gently.
"Aunt Lan, did you do this? It's so delicious. Pineapple laughed as she ate.
"I didn't do it, Her Majesty sent it." Xinlan said slowly.
"The Queen Mother?" Pineapple continued, "How does she know that I like desserts?" ā
"I told her." Xinlan smiled.
"Aunt Lan, haven't you always told me, saying...."Before Pineapple finished speaking, Xin Lan hurriedly said: "I told you not to tell your secrets to others easily, but you also have to remember that it depends on the person, and it also depends on the person, understand?" ā
"Hmm... I understand, it's like I told my mother that I can only cultivate the Divine Phoenix Order, but I didn't tell her that I was wearing the Divine Phoenix Jade Phoenix bracelet of the Divine Clan on my right hand, right? Aunt Lan? Pineapple smiled slowly.
Xinlan was very pleased to stroke the delicate little face of the pineapple, her eyes were very happy, very satisfied, it seems that the pineapple now began to understand the importance and secondary truth of some things, Xinlan also began to have some plans in her mind, and this plan may be related to the cultivation of the Divine Phoenix Order.
After Pineapple was full, she chatted with Xinlan a few times again, among them, Pineapple asked about Fengchen and Fengyi, but Xinlan still didn't say a word, and the latter also felt very lost as Xinlan changed the topic again and again.
And Xinlan naturally has some plans in her heart, but for her, this plan is for the sake of pineapple, but as for the future, what kind of thoughts will pineapple think after she knows about it? This... No one knows.
The night was late, and after Xinlan comforted the pineapple to sleep, she quickly came to the room, but she was not ready to sleep, but came to the water spring outside the house, looking at the starry sky above, looking very lost and haggard.
"Sister, what should I do?" At this time, Xinlan faced the sky and said slowly.
