There was a moment of silence in the bamboo house.

"Okay then." Ming Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "It's not a secret, although the Five Spirit Beads are the treasures of the Nuwa clan, we have lost it for many years, and there are very few records about its usage. ”

Xia Jie also understood that Ming Yuanqing was not lying, so he said indifferently: "I can understand, no matter how much is left." ”

"Yes!" Ming Yuan Qingtou agreed, and then her fingers closed, and Miao Jiang's unique mana fluctuations appeared between her fingers, and she wanted to pass on the gong to Xia Jie, but he raised his hand to stop him: "I'm afraid this won't work, your strength can't break through my divine sense, is there a paper record or something?" I'll just see for myself. ”

Hearing this, she reacted and was stunned: "When my senior sister and I went out of the mountain, the Lunatic Sect had already ravaged the entire Nanzhao, and the Wuyue Sect no longer existed, so I'm afraid I can't find the relevant classics...... Then I'll write you a copy of it. ”

"I'm in trouble." Xia Jie agreed apologetically, it was very convenient for him to pass on his divine thoughts, and he could also open his divine sense to Ming Yuanqing, but if her strength couldn't even break through the instinctive reaction of the Five Elements Array in her body, it would be very helpless.

And at this moment, by the holy lake, not long after the Witch King Zhao Ye and his party left, two sneaky figures came here.

These two figures are none other than Zhao Ling'er and Anu.

"Princess, this is the place where the queen suppressed the water demon beast back then, and the very tall stone statue is the witch queen's mother." Anu held her heartily, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, for fear of meeting someone from the Lunatic Cult.

She knew very well who the queen was back then, and she was naturally worried that the Moon Worship Sect Master would have ill intentions towards the princess, so she didn't want to bring Ling'er here, but she couldn't resist Ling'er's pleas.

"Mother's ......"

Although Ling'er is not familiar with the world, she also guessed the truth from the words of Anu and the Jiujian Immortal family, as for her father, after all, he is a living person, and it may take some preparation to meet, but it is very simple to pay tribute to his mother.

So after asking Anu, she learned that her mother had turned into a stone statue and stood in the holy lake forever and ever.

Ling'er looked at the humanoid stone statue that was almost as tall as a mountain with tears in her eyes, her face could not hold a smile for a long time, her body was weak, and she was half-leaning on Anu's arm and sobbing continuously.

The stone statue is very realistic, and the expression between her eyebrows shows the posture of a living person, but the corners of her head and mouth, eyes, and the tips of her nose and shoulders are all covered with moss, engraved with the changes of ten years.

And such a scene falls in Ling'er's eyes, and there is no doubt about the barren mound covered with dry grass, and the clearer the stone statue, the more worrying it is.

The cold stone statue gradually merged with the gentle and kind woman in my memory.

As Ling'er's heart stirred, the power of Nuwa in her body gradually changed, and the dream snake state of the Nuwa clan was about to come out! And when Nuwa's power continued to fluctuate, the stone statue of the Holy Lake had an unprecedented change.

"Ling'er, you're back......"

A buzzing female voice sounded in the ears of the two, startling Anu and making Ling'er's crying sound pause.

The female voice continued: "Child, you've worked hard these days......

The two of them looked up along the source of the sound, only to see that the stone statue was actually moving its lips, and it turned out to be Qing'er's stone statue talking?!

If this scene happened in the eyes of mortals, I was afraid that the stone statue would be regarded as a monster, but Ling'er and Anu had learned Miao Jiang's spells since childhood, and they had a strong ability to accept these supernatural things.

And Qing'er, as a descendant of Nuwa, turned into a stone statue conversation, which is very ordinary.

Ling'er wiped the tears on her cheeks and choked up: "Mother, Ling'er misses you so much." ”

The stone statue's lips moved slightly, and its voice lived up to the woman's delicateness, with a heavy echo, but it could still make people hear its care as a mother.

"In these days when you are growing up, your mother has not been by your side, and I can't see you growing taller and improving day by day. I can't see your innocent smile, I can't hear your voice......"

"Mother, look." Ling'er held back her grief and tried to make a smile.

But what made her unacceptable was that the stone statue did not show affirmation, but continued to take care of herself: "Ling'er, in fact, you have done a good job. Nuwa's path is not easy to walk. We are the descendants of Nuwa, all the people are our lives, our children, and their suffering will only make our hearts ache......"

"Mother? What are you doing? Why ......"

After listening for a while, Ling'er's eyes couldn't help but shed two more lines of tears, she had already discovered the strange place in it.

"Princess...... This should have been just a passage from the Queen...... She, she's no longer there......" Anu, as a bystander, discovered this as early as when Ling'er was talking to the stone statue, but he didn't want to poke Ling'er's last thoughts.

"No, it's not. This is the mother, the mother is not dead......"

Ling'er kept shaking her head with her eyes closed, bursting into tears.

However, what is desperate is that the stone statue's voice continues: "Xiaoyao, and Brother Xia, I hope you can also understand that although Nuwa's road is a bitter road, the most bitter thing is not the pain of flesh and skin, or any calamity, but the most bitter thing is the loneliness. ”

"Lonely ......," Anu murmured, leaning her head against Ling'er, and comforting:

"Princess, the witch queen saved the people of Nanzhao with Nuwa's fraternity, but the people didn't understand her and didn't agree with her, this road was the loneliest, the loneliest, and finally ...... Therefore, Anu begs you, don't listen to this, don't listen! Don't go down this path. ”

"But as long as you have the people you love the most to support you, all bitterness will turn into sweetness, and all bad luck will turn into blessings. "If there are people who know the inside story, they will understand the meaning of Qing'er's words.

Qing'er's understanding of Nuwa's way is also due to the sword saint's dial, and her favorite is Yin Ruozhuo. So although this road is full of bitterness and suffering, there is still someone behind her who silently supports her.

Ling'er listened to her mother's words and Anu's persuasion, and she didn't know how to choose.

She looked at the lifeless stone statue stupidly, and whispered with a dull expression: "The people of Nanzhao Kingdom...... Nuwa's Road ...... Who's going to tell me, what the hell am I going to do? ”

Anu hugged her tightly, not knowing what to do, she could only keep patting Ling'er's back and whispering to her not to cry, her movements were as gentle as when the holy aunt coaxed herself.

……

Wait until the sun moves from the center to the west.

After lunch, Li Xiaoyao was just about to go up the mountain with Mo Yixi to practice spells, when he saw the depressed Ling'er and the sad Anu and returned to the bamboo house.

"Ling'er? Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Li Xiaoyao had never seen Ling'er like this, and his heart suddenly palpitated, and he rushed up with an arrow.

"Brother Xiaoyao, Ling'er is fine......" She raised her tear-stained face, squeezed out a smile, and shook her head.

Li Xiaoyao's hand froze in mid-air, and he looked at Ling'er, who pretended to be strong, and was shocked for a moment.

Mo Yixi frowned, and found that something was wrong, he paced over, looked at Anu and said, "Girl, what's the matter?" ”

"It's none of Anu's business, it's the witch queen, she ......" Anu explained anxiously, but Ling'er continued to walk forward, she shook her face at Mo Yixi as if she was angry, and quickly followed, walking towards the inner room.

"Hey, she's ...... The Witch Queen? Mo Yixi was stunned, he looked at the two girls in a daze, completely unclear what was going on, and Anu's sentence of queen made him even more confused and couldn't figure out the doorway.

At this moment, no matter how exquisite the practice of spells is, Li Xiaoyao's interest can't be aroused, and Mo Yixi has no idea of guidance, the two glanced at each other, and followed into the bamboo house.

"Oh, interesting, the power of the five spirit beads ......"

Xia Jie was looking at a few pages of stationery full of words, and suddenly he turned his head to look at the door, two familiar figures came in, and the sluggishness on Ling'er's face startled him, and he subconsciously put down the paper and stood up.

"You guys, what's going on?" Ming Yuanqing on the side was also surprised.

For a while, the two people in the room plus Mo Yixi outside the door, four pairs of concerned eyes shrouded the two girls at the same time, Anu rubbed the corners of her clothes at a loss, and Ling'er suddenly relaxed as if she had returned to the safe zone.

After communicating, everyone knew the reason.

The reason for Ling'er's gaffe, in addition to the sadness that Qing'er has become a stone statue, is also the doubt about the identity of her own Nuwa's descendants, as well as her fear of the future.

Whether it is her mother's teachings or Grandma Jiang's respect and care, Ling'er has always felt that she is happy, and it is a noble mission to be a descendant of Nuwa.

But today, when she saw Qing'er's stone statue and the scene of the holy lake withering, she couldn't help but think of the people of Nanzhao who surrounded the palace and wanted to kill her.

Coupled with the tragic end of Qing'er's betrayal and separation, and the sadness revealed in Qing'er's words, this undoubtedly made her feel an indelible mustard.

"Ling'er understands the words of my mother, and she is willing to try, but ......"

After Ling'er calmed down, she sat at the table in the bamboo house with a circle of people, and kept shaking her head and said: "But when Ling'er thinks that she will become a cold stone statue, she will die, and she will never see you again, I, I am afraid......"

Perhaps in the plot, she experienced Li Xiaoyao's 'betrayal' of amnesia, and after the great love remarks of the Sword Master comparing love to hair, etc., she will give up her life for the great love of the world.

But now, she is just a girl who has just been out of Xianling Island for just over a month.

She was only seventeen years old, and at the moment of death, she was only eighteen. This should have been in the mood for love, but because of the Nuwa blood in her body and the power of Nuwa in that body, she was asked to take on the responsibility of the world and give everything. And he didn't give her a choice, which was a bit unkind.
