Chapter 229: A Place Outside the World
After a month's long journey, Lin Yuelan finally arrived at the realm of the legendary spiritual realm, only to see a red and steaming peach forest surrounded by green mountains in front of her.
Xuan Mingzi reported the latest journey, "Lin Shizi, in front of you is the outer mountain guard of our realm spirit domain, and you will enter the realm spirit domain after passing through the mountain." ”
Lin Yuelan looked at the peach forest and was stunned, but just let out a faint "oh".
Along the way, he didn't say much, his expression was indifferent, and the good mountains and rivers along the way also lost their taste in his eyes. Xuan Mingzi was always chattering in his ear, and when he was bored, he should be relieved of his boredom, and he should understand those anecdotes in the realm spirit realm, and when he was annoyed, he would "snap" on Xuan Mingzi's little buttocks, which was not a few taels of meat, and told him to shut up.
"Let me tell you, that peach blossom forest, but it was planted by the Holy Maiden of the Open Domain of our realm spirit domain, there was only one tree back then, and now thousands of years have passed, and now it has become a peach forest, which is spectacular." Xuan Mingzi said proudly.
Lin Yuelan's face still had a faint expression and a layer of sadness, when he looked at the peach forest just now, he remembered the scene on the night of Qiqi, when he was the matchmaker and the sea of flowers was the scene where he swore to marry Situ Nanyun, and the peach blossom forest that night was a witness to their marriage.
And now, they have never seen each other again for the rest of their lives, and all the good things in the past no longer exist, and it has become a dream. Knowing that the purpose of this trip to this spiritual realm is to forget all the past, so that he will not spend the rest of his life in pain and loneliness, but he still can't forget that dream, even if he doesn't touch it and deliberately forgets it, but it is there and the longer it lasts, maybe he won't forget it in this life.
"Remembering Sister Yun'er again, right?" Xuan Mingzi tilted his little head to look at him, "I'll tell you, when you see the Holy Maiden Xuan Ling'er, you won't miss her." ”
"Why?" Lin Yuelan was poked at the center of the matter, and asked with a pretending to be careless.
"Because Xuan Ling'er is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Xuan Mingzi's eyes shone with admiration.
"In my eyes, Yun'er is the most beautiful." Lin Yuelan shook her head and said disapprerovingly.
The Seventh Elder looked a little worried along the way, kept silent, and did not say anything to interrupt Xuan Mingzi's tireless speech, but walked in the front with interest, avoiding the opportunity to face Lin Yuelan directly, he was really a little afraid of seeing Lin Yuelan.
At this time, he had reached the entrance of the Realm Spirit Domain, and glanced back at the slow steps of the two of them.
"Don't be grinding, Xuanmingzi, come in quickly." The Seven Elders finally spoke up.
"Seventh Elder, who told you to go so fast? The spirit stone is here, and you can't get in in a hurry. Xuan Mingzi buried Xuan Qing's stuffy gourd-like face and grimaced at him.
A lotus-shaped mountain stretched in front of the three of them, and they saw that the mountain peaks spread out like lotus petals, and a layer of flowing white clouds floated on them.
Xuan Mingzi took out the realm spirit stone that he had been playing with for several days in his coat pocket and handed it to the seventh elder Xuan Qing. I saw Xuanqing's fingers in the void a few times, and a stone gate with eight strange patterns appeared in front of the mountain, and he put the realm spirit stone on one of the patterns of the stone gate, and the stone door automatically opened.
Xuan Mingzi led Lin Yuelan in, and after Xuan Qing's break, he did the same thing as before, and the stone gate outside disappeared immediately.
"Next, we have to pass through a void area, where the airflow is a little unstable, Lin Shizi is the first time to arrive, and he is not familiar with the situation there, you have to hold on to Lin Shizi's hand, so as not to be swept away by the airflow and not trapped inside." Seventh Elder Xuan Qing said to this Xuan Mingzi seriously.
Although his words were said to Xuan Mingzi, they were actually said to Lin Yuelan, where can a child of Xuan Mingzi grasp the hand of an adult, implying that he should grab Xuan Mingzi's hand, lest they be swept away by the air current, and they can still walk to the exit with the help of Xuan Mingzi.
"Seventh Elder, why don't you join us?" Xuan Mingzi pierced him in a word.
"Ahem, I'll open the way ahead." Xuan Qing made up a reason in his heart.
He couldn't hide what he said, but he didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and said unrelentingly: "Where do you need to open the road, as soon as a person stands on it, he will naturally float into the void." ”
Seeing that Xuanqing was silent, he squeezed his eyebrows and added to him, "You don't dare to face Lin Shizi, right?" ”
Lin Yuelan glanced lightly at Seventh Elder Xuan Qing's uncomfortable face faintly revealing red light, "Let's go, Xuan Mingzi, I'll just grab your hand." ”
The Seven Elders activated the mechanism, and the soles of the three of them suddenly hung in the air, sending them to the Void with a strong force.
Lin Yuelan saw that her body was floating rapidly, and after a while, she entered the white and empty world around her, with a slight wind, but not to blow people away, and her body automatically floated in one direction, which seemed to be an invisible passage.
In less than half a pillar of incense, they walked out of the void area, and then their bodies slowly descended, landing in front of a stone gate, the seven elders opened the stone door, and the three of them walked in.
Lin Yuelan was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and let him walk all over the beautiful mountains and rivers of Tianyan, but he had never seen such a beautiful place, how could there be such a fairyland-like place in this world?
I saw that the sky here is blue and transparent, as soft and delicate as silk, infinitely extending into the distance, the white clouds are swimming wantonly, changing the form without restraint, the air can be seen everywhere flowing and changing colorful light, and the peach blossoms in front of you are scorching, this piece of red stretches for dozens of miles, so beautiful that it is like a dream, as if it is left in the clouds on the edge of the sky.
He looked back, the stone gate behind him was gone, replaced by a verdant green mountain, and a clear lake reflecting the mountains and rivers, and he was a little surprised, as if he had come to this world from the sky.
When he was stunned, a small colored cloud suddenly flew towards him, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a bird with colorful cloud wings.
"It's a cloud butterfly." Xuan Mingzi's words reached his ears in time.
The corners of his mouth rarely overflowed with a smile, "The name 'Cloud Butterfly' is very interesting. ”
Then, as if to answer his confusion, Xuan Mingzi said to himself: "There are two gates in the Realm Spirit Domain, one is the door to the outside world, and the other is the door to enter the Realm Spirit Domain from the void zone, these doors are invisible to others and cannot be found, only the seven elders can use their mana to find these two gates, and only they can enter and exit freely. ”
"I see." Lin Yuelan nodded, thinking in her heart what kind of formation this must have made it so.
Walking in the peach blossom forest that is as beautiful as a fantasy, no matter how bad the mood is, people also have a sense of relaxation and happiness. Lin Yuelan looked at this piece of romance, and then looked at the layers of falling red like peach blossoms underground, and frowned slightly, "Looking at the peach blossoms blooming so red on the tree, it is the peak season of peach blossoms, how can such a layer of falling flowers fall?" ”
"This underground layer is perennial falls, our peach blossoms here do not rot all year round, people often say that this is the essence of the peach blossom fairy, so it will not rot, they finally turn into incense powder and scatter into the air." Xuan Mingzi replied.
"The peach blossoms bloom for a long time, they only fall once a month, and now it's not time to fall, so if you look at it at that time, you can see the beautiful peach blossom rain, but it's beautiful."
"Also, let me tell you, many of our sisters here use these peach blossoms to sew quilts, or make clothes and skirts or something, which is beautiful." He then said with joy.
For some reason, Lin Yuelan suddenly thought of Situ Nanyun wearing a peach blossom skirt and nodded, "Well, it's very beautiful." ”
After the peach forest, there is a fruit forest with colorful fruits, the strange fruit forest Yuelan has never heard of, never seen, and then, across a few small wooden bridges with a strange appearance of a small river with crystal clear bottoms, you will begin to see people.
Lin Yuelan looked around, only to see that the houses here are very special, some are like a mushroom, some are like a big bamboo shoot, some are decorated with colorful bird feathers, like a bird perched quietly, some are planted with green vegetation on the roof, as if it is a small window open in the mountains, some are rolled up high, like the tail of a squirrel, some are cracked, like the back shell of a turtle, some are like haystacks, some are like beehives, and there are peach blossom houses and apricot blossom houses decorated with petals and grass......
In Tianyan, she is used to seeing square houses, and when she sees this kind of quaint and unique house, Lin Yuelan is really eye-opening.
Seeing Lin Yuelan's surprise, Xuan Mingzi began to popularize knowledge for him again, "Look, our house here is much more interesting than your Tianyan's square house, and your house is the same, it's really boring, our house here, as long as you can imagine the shape, we can build it, and if their owners are bored, they can change it again in the second year, it's very fun." ”
Lin Yuelan was noncommittal, he only thought it was interesting, but he didn't think it was very practical. If you change the shape of the house every year, it really seems to be idle and have nothing to do. The feather house, which was as beautiful as a peacock, could be described as ingenious and gorgeous, but he only thought it was funny to live in such a house, and how many feathers did it have to collect to build a feather house? I'm afraid it will take more than ten years of hard work, and if I don't do anything else in these ten years, I will collect feathers, what a waste of time, it's really a bit crazy, he shook his head.
As if seeing his question, Xuan Mingzi then explained: "The people of our realm spirit realm have no time to worry, the average person has a lifespan of more than two hundred years, and the time is so long, if you don't spend some time building a house, isn't that life very empty and boring?" ”
Xuan Mingzi's casual appearance made Lin Yuelan angry.
What is this place where mortals live? Why do people in the Spirit Realm live in such a good place and have such a long lifespan? The life expectancy of ordinary people is more than 200 years, which is a life span that is difficult for people from the outside world to achieve? Then here are like the seven elders who are cultivating, so isn't their lifespan going against the sky?
"The Seven Great Elders are all hundreds of years old now, the youngest of the Seven Elders is less than two hundred years old, and the Great Elder is nearly four hundred years old." Xuan Mingzi continued.
Lin Yuelan was silent because he suddenly thought of another question.
If he also lives for such a long time, wouldn't the second half of his lonely life become indefinitely long, if so, it is better to die early, and would rather be reincarnated as soon as possible to find his Yun'er.
