Chapter 34: The Cave Heaven
We returned to the lakeside deeply pampered by the moonlight, and the cold kiss marks were still there.
Next to the mirror-like lake, there was really a rockery, and Long Shao had hit it heavily that day. Yu Ge carried me around the rockery several times before I found the small hole that was hidden by weeds.
"I've been on the island for so many years, and I've never realized there is such a cave." Yu Ge said puzzled.
"Naturally, you have no way of realizing that this used to be the place where your mother and I practiced, and only the two of us knew about the island, so we made a very effective camouflage through the surrounding plants for safety." The woman said with a smile. "If I hadn't told you in advance, how would you have noticed this place."
Yu Ge cautiously took a few tentative steps, and as soon as he entered the cave, a warm wind hit him.
"Don't be afraid, just go inside." The woman said. "I'm too lazy to set up any traps in my cave."
Yu Ge moved down the rugged and winding road little by little, and the deeper he went, the more he felt the air getting hotter and hotter, as if he had melted into the earth's crust and fallen into the center of the earth.
"Izumi. If you bear with it a little longer, you'll be fine in no time. Yu Ge saw that I was still in unbearable pain, and unconsciously quickened my pace.
At the end of the dark corridor, a dazzling red light enveloped us for a moment, and we entered a very large space. I didn't expect that under this rockery, there was such a cave place, the walls around were constantly flowing with red magma, the ground was full of criss-crossing ravines, and the walls were full of birdman language. There are many ice-crystal-like flowers growing on the vermilion ground where the lava is constantly flowing, and between this fiery red, they are like dazzling crystals, and they are full of vitality in this place where ordinary living beings will dry up and die.
The scorching air made me sweat profusely, and the wounds on my body were even more painful. "Senior, you're not lying to us again, are you, how can this place treat burns?"
"I said yes, I can." The woman said impatiently.
"Senpai, we're here, and then what?" Yu Ge asked eagerly.
"You can untie that sachet and throw that red feather in a lava."
Suspiciously, Yu Ge took the sachet from me again and gently pulled out the red and yellow feather. "Izumi, this feather is really hotter than fire now." She hurriedly threw the feather into the lava beside her, and in just a few seconds, her hand was already red and swollen.
Zizizizi! The red feather instantly turned to ashes in the magma, emitting a puff of white smoke, and for a brief three seconds, a low groan came from inside, and then there was no movement for a long time.
"Senior! Predecessor! We shouted anxiously, because Bi Fang's behavior was so weird that we didn't know what she was going to do.
"That's it! It's noisy! The woman's voice suddenly came out of the magma, and then a flame rose into the air, and the flames flew in all directions, and a red bird flew out of the magma, and after landing on the ground, it instantly turned into a human form.
I saw her wearing a thin cyan white gauze and a white floor-length skirt that completely covered her legs, and her fiery red hair was coiled into a chic bun with a light blue belt wrapped around it. This outfit is indeed somewhat similar to the portrait on the Book of Mountains and Seas. The only place where there is some way out is Bi Fang on the portrait, with a sharp gaze and an unapproachable aura. And the one in front of us looks like she is pure and pure, pure and lovely.
Her fiery red eyes looked around, pursed her thin lips, and then stretched long. "I'm finally back, and I'm still comfortable at home."
"Senpai!" Yu Ge was thrilled to see her sudden arrival. "I didn't expect it to be you, senior."
Bi Fang frowned and waved his hand impatiently. "You guys are seniors, do you think I'm old? Call me senior again, and don't want me to save people. ”
"Senior, no...... So what should I call you? Yu Ge was a little overwhelmed.
"Hmm......" Bi Fang thought for a long time, Qiushui's eyes turned several times, and finally had an answer. Just call me sister, and you will all call me sister in the future. ”
"Sister?" Yu Ge was so frightened that he refused again and again. "This is absolutely impossible, you are our ancestor, there is a lot of difference between me and you, how can I be so light."
Bi Fang pursed his lips angrily and snapped his fingers, and the ground in front of us suddenly erupted with a cloud of magma, forcing me and Yu Ge to take a few steps back. "Isn't it funny that your mother calls me sister and you call me sister? What I hate the most is what kind of generational ethics. ”
Yu Ge and I looked at each other, Bi Fang's words and expressions, I really couldn't see the slightest bit of a god, it was really incomprehensible.
"Okay, little girl, I now order me to call my sister immediately, or don't try to save your sweetheart."
"Former ...... No, Sister Bi Fang...... Please, save him. Yu Ge lowered his head and saluted Bi Fang, pleading sincerely.
"Hey, hey, okay, the little girl is really obedient." Bi Fang listened to this sister, and his mood suddenly became cheerful. "You lay him flat on the floor, and I have a way to save him."
With that, Bi Fang walked to the stone wall of the cave, plucked a lot of ice crystal-like flowers from the cracks in the stones, and then walked up to me and began to hold the petals vigorously. "This is Ice Grass, and the reason why they are able to live in such a hot environment is because their physique is completely compatible with flames."
The pale blue liquid in the petals was slowly dripped onto my wound, and I suddenly felt a piercing coldness.
"Ahh I screamed in pain, the pain of the icy juice was no less painful than the burn before, and the cold that penetrated deep into my bone marrow made me almost pass out.
"Sister Bi Fang, is this really feasible......" Yu Ge saw my distorted expression, and became uneasy again.
"Little girl, why are you so mother-in-law, you are really exactly like your mother." Bi Fang glanced at her disapprerovingly. "I've lived for tens of thousands of years, and I must know much more than you do."
Two distinct pains flowed through my body, and the hot and cold sensation made me gradually numb, and the whole person was fluttering, as if flying, and I couldn't feel anything.
In my eyes, the flames and frost collided violently, and slowly, the burning sensation seemed to really disappear.
"Yuge, I seem to be really much better." I tried to move, and my limbs slowly became conscious.
"Great!" Yuge hugged me excitedly and cried with joy. "Thank you, senior......, no, thank you, sister."
"Hahaha." Bi Fang stroked the walls around him, pacing around him leisurely. "I'm gracious to you now, and you have to do me a favor."
This Bi Fang's temperament is really eccentric, who knows what she will come up with to embarrass us, this favor will definitely help her, but she is still really a little reluctant.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight, only to stay in this cave, there is a big secret waiting for you to unravel in this cave." Bi Fang suddenly became serious and said to us seriously.
Yu Ge and I nodded, this is not a difficult thing, and the battle has just ended, and the birdmen on the island should all be capturing those fishmen who survived the thunder and lightning by the sea, and we have no intention of participating in it at all.
"Also, I think that old horseshoe crab will not die, he will definitely be caught, and tomorrow you must try your best to save him, and then bring him to this cave." Bi Fang said.
"Huh?" Yu Ge and I exclaimed in unison. "This ......"
This favor is simply our lives, we all know that Yuge and their people have a feud with those fish people, we just won a big victory, everyone is escaping death, and we can't wait to break Na Ah Wan's body into ten thousand pieces immediately. At this time, it is really harder for us to save him than to ascend to the sky.
"Sister Bi Fang...... How is this possible, not to mention that my mother will not agree at that time, I don't think the entire birdman clan will agree. Yu Ge said with an embarrassed face.
"I don't care what method you use, since you can even crack the spell of the Birdman Clan, can't you do this little thing?" Bi Fang did not give us a chance to compromise at all. "That Ah Wan and I are the key to solving all misunderstandings, you must save him."
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? ”
Bi Fang let out a long sigh. "There are a lot of misunderstandings, misunderstandings between two races, misunderstandings between two people, and the mystery of some people's backgrounds."
Yuge and I froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
"Little girl, they all say that you are an illegitimate daughter, don't you want to know what your background is?" Bi Fang smiled at us a little provocatively. "And, young man, don't you want to know why your blood is able to mingle? You must know that even if they are all birdmen, not close relatives will have rejection, how can you be a birdman and a human to merge? ”
These words made Yu Ge unable to sit still any longer. "I want to know! Sister Bi Fang, tell me quickly. ”
"Tomorrow, if you bring that Ah Wan here, the truth will naturally be revealed." Bi Fang yawned and slowly walked towards the exit. "It's really annoying that these people's messes will eventually have to be cleaned up by my sister and me."
"Sister...... I don't understand, you are so profound, why don't you go and save the horseshoe crab yourself, but let us go?"
"Hey, I have more important things to do." Bi Fang has already walked to the cave**, and further on is the road when he came. "I haven't been back to the island for so long, and I want to take a good look at it again."
Dazzling fireworks suddenly ignited on her body, and she turned into a red firebird, spread her wings and flew out at once.
"Also, you must not tell anyone that I'm back."
