Chapter 4: Lonely Xiyao

In his sleep, Xuanwu Xiaoqing suddenly felt a blazing gaze fall on him, and he couldn't help but tremble and woke up. Suddenly, he saw that the young man who had fought with it yesterday was tiptoeing close to him.

Nie Li didn't expect this little turtle to feel so keenly in his sleep, and he caught his sneaky behavior right, and for a while, one person and one turtle stared at each other, dazed. Immediately, Nie Li saw Xiao Qing's whole body trembling, his short and thick limbs swaying back one after another, and he was immediately furious.

The young man thought to himself, Lao Tzu just saw that you looked earth-shattering, so he took a closer look at it, you are afraid of being like this, why don't you think that you are really greedy for Lao Tzu. With all these thoughts, the young man simply deliberately bared his teeth at the little turtle in a vicious manner.

"Let's go!" Xiao Qing was frightened, and retracted his limbs and head and tail into the turtle shell, completely shrinking, and gave Qiu Chi Yishi a blindness. Nima, Nie was annoyed, and stepped forward to turn Xiaoqing's turtle shell over like a prank, and stepped on its feet fiercely before relieving his anger.

The young man was not so gifted originally, but his ontological memory was sealed, even if it was the original adventure of Nie Li, only fragmentary memories remained. If the mind returns to the adolescent age, this shows such a stubborn character.

Nie Li was proud in his heart, but when he turned around, he saw Xi Yao standing not far behind him, his willow eyebrows upside down, his hands on his hips, and a pair of apricot eyes glaring at him viciously.

"Hehehe, you won't go back, aren't I bored, tease it!" The young man shrunk his neck and explained in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, I have something to do, you think you're all like you, so lazy to do it!" Xi Yao seemed to believe Nie Li's excuse of lying that he was bored, and raised the red cotton knot in his hand.

"What's in your hands?" Nie Li hurriedly diverted the topic, deliberately pointed to the knot in Xi Yao's hand and said.

"This is the wishful knot that Nuwa Niangniang passed on to us and other goddess officials when she was still in heaven, I ...... When you're bored, you'll often get through the knots! Xi Yao froze for a moment, and casually handed the knot to Nie Li to watch.

(The Ruyi knot, or Chinese knot, was developed from the Paleolithic knot, which became a mascot in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then evolved into today's decorative craft.) )

"What kind of rope is this?" Nie Li pinched the cotton rope in his hand and asked in surprise.

"Hee-hee, aren't they all around here?" Xi Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, pointing to the floating clouds around the island.

"Clouds? Sure enough, it's a fairy method! Nie Li's eyes widened, and then he looked at the delicate Ruyi knot, and couldn't help but admire, "Xi Yao is really a good craft, it takes a lot of time to make such a thing!" ”

"About seven days! I'll be here for about seven or eight days before someone comes to talk to me, and it's boring not to do that! Xi Yao's expression darkened, and her mood was depressed.

"Hehe, isn't there still me with you now?" Nie Li looked at Xi Yao's lonely expression, and hurriedly joked with a hippie smile.

"As soon as you receive a position from Heavenly Court, you always have to leave!" Xi Yao reluctantly smiled, "Don't talk about this, you have nothing to do when you're full, I'm here to find something for you to do, so you don't have to worry about Xiaoqing all day long!" ”

"What do you mean I think about Xiaoqing all day long, as if I have an adulterous affair with that dead turtle!" Nie Li muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Hee-hee!" Seeing that Nie Li said something interesting, Xi Yao was finally amused by him, her shoulders twitched with laughter, and she accidentally let the wide crown fall off, covering her delicate melon seed face.

"Haha!" Nie Li laughed.

"What a laugh!" Xi Yao hurriedly straightened the crown, a flush appeared on her face, and she looked at the young man angrily, "Tomorrow, I have a friend who comes here, he may have a little injury on his body, and he needs something to nourish." I only have clear water melons and fruits here, which is not suitable for him to eat, where do you go to the sacred tree, collect some nectar and come back! ”

"Has the Sacred Tree bloomed?" The young man asked curiously.

"No, the sacred tree will only blossom and bear fruit in 10,000 years, and the day of the next flowering and fruiting is not far away! However, this time, the nectar that you went to collect was not from the sacred tree. Xi Yao stretched out a jade finger from the wide sleeve and shook it proudly, "The sacred tree absorbs earth and stones, and there are other exotic flowers and plants growing in some areas, so what you collect is the nectar of these exotic flowers and plants!" ”

"Where is the Sacred Tree where there are these strange flowers and plants?" Nie Li frowned and scratched his scalp.

"This ......" Xi Yao was stunned for a moment, put her jade finger into her mouth and held it, frowned and thought hard, and only bit her finger for a while, turned around and glared at Nie Li viciously, "Aren't you bored, just spend some effort looking for it!" ”

"Oh~~" Nie Li responded with a bitter face.

How did he know that Xi Yao had indeed personally looked for it before, but since Xiaoqing was born, she has been sending Xiaoqing to find it, and it has been a thousand years. This little lady has long forgotten where these strange flowers and plants grow. Originally, he wanted Xiao Qing to accompany Nie Li, but now it seems that Xiao Qing definitely refuses to leave him, lest Nie Li seize the opportunity to stew it into a pot of turtle soup.

"Some exotic plants are highly toxic and inedible. With this Wind Orb, I've cast a spell on it, and if there is the right nectar, the Orb will glow! Xi Yao took out a round white bead the size of a chestnut and a small clay pot and handed it to Nie Li, "The nectar obtained is in the clay pot, and when the clay pot is full, you can come back!" ”

Nie Li looked at the teacup-sized clay pot and smiled wryly, when will this be collected to be full. Fortunately, the days in the sky are long and the nights are short, one day is equivalent to three days in the world, and there is still a lot of time until tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about missing the friend who entertained Xi Yao. It's just that that person can make Xi Yao, who has an indifferent temperament, so attentive, which caused Nie Li's curiosity.

"The Wind Spirit Bead can resist the wind outside the sky, allowing you to resist the wind and reach the Divine Tree from the island!" Xi Yao's little face tightened, and she said seriously, "Go and come back quickly, remember not to linger and play on the way, forget the time!" ”

"Got it, I'm not a child!" Nie Li smiled bitterly, but Xi Yao's earnest advice warmed his heart.

Leaving the goddess official, Nie Li walked to the edge of this floating island alone, out of the range of the protective aperture. The fierce Gangfeng suddenly shocked his spirit, and the wind spirit bead in his arms immediately emitted a faint halo to surround him, avoiding the invasion of Gangfeng.

Nie Li suddenly had a feeling that this kind of extraterrestrial wind should not do him much harm, and maybe there would be some benefits. It's just that now that he is away from the Wind Spirit Bead, he can't reach the Divine Tree against the wind, so he can't complete the task, so he has to try again later.

When Nie Li was about to leave the island against the wind, he suddenly found a circle of big trees on the edge of the island, and small objects hanging from the branches under the trees, swaying at will in the wind. Looking at it intently, Nie Li found that these small objects were all wishful knots that Xi Yao had woven boringly on weekdays, and he was stunned for a moment.

This floating island is not big or small, and there are no less than hundreds of large trees growing on the edge of the island. These trees are probably more than 1,000 years old, and their canopies are like domes, with thousands of large and small branches, and almost every branch is covered with these wishful knots.

Nie Wei knew that these big trees should have been planted by Xi Yao, and maybe every time she was about to hang a big tree with a ruyi knot, she would plant another one. Looking at the circle of big trees on the edge of the island, and the wishful knots swaying in the wind, the young man suddenly felt a sour heart.

How many lonely days does it take to weave so many wishful knots, how helpless and boring it must be, in order to persist in such a boring work for thousands of years. Under Xi Yao's delicate face, there was a lot of loneliness and bitterness, looking at the wishful knots in the sky, Nie Li was once again stupid.

……

"Hey!" Nie Li stomped vigorously on the sturdy branches of the Divine Tree under his feet, and exhaled a turbid breath. Xi Yao did not guess wrong, the young man walked against the wind for the first time, and his childlike heart rose, and he played in the wind for a while before he recalled her entrustment and landed on the sacred tree with unfinished intentions.

Nie Li put away the Wind Spirit Bead and began to search for the existence of strange flowers and plants in the Divine Tree. However, after a few hours, he could not find even half a trace of the strange flowers and plants, and suddenly sat down on the branches of the sacred tree with some frustration.

The scenery around the sacred tree is good, but it is too quiet, except for the sound of the wind, there is no movement at all. If he stays here for a long time, I'm afraid it will really make him crazy, no wonder Xi Yao will weave wishful knots day after day for a little pastime. Nie Li only stayed here for half a day, and he was very sympathetic to Xiao Niang's daily situation.

"Huh!" Nie Li's nose suddenly flapped a few times, and he smelled a faint fragrance. "It's a floral!" The young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the place where the fragrance of flowers wafted in.

Cutting through thorns in the thick branches of the Divine Tree, Nie Li turned a branch and suddenly saw a cloud of flowers and green emerald in front of him. The branches of the sacred tree here are slightly flat, and some soil has been accumulated, and under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the sacred tree, a small flower bush grows. There are also a few large, colorful bees above the flowers, busily collecting honey.

"Finally found it!" Nie Li was overjoyed, carrying a small clay jar, and ran to the front of the flowers in a few steps.

First glanced at the Wind Spirit Bead, and found that the Spirit Bead was indeed exuding a misty aura, Nie Wei knew that the nectar here should meet the requirements of Xi Yao's little lady. As soon as he opened a flower, the young man's face was wrinkled.

The center of the stamen is only a shallow drop of juice, or not a drop yet. I'm afraid that after collecting this flower, it has only just filled the bottom of the clay pot, and if you want to fill the clay pot, you will have to search for at least a dozen more flowers.

"Buzz!" Just as Nie Li was distressed, a big bee flew over and stopped on the stamen that the young man had opened. The thin mouth tube is like a long whale sucking water, quickly absorbing the nectar droplet.

Nima, dare to grab things from Lao Tzu! Nie Li was already distressed in his heart, but when he saw this big bee's behavior, he was immediately furious, and slapped the big bee away.

"Whoa!" The big bee crashed into the sturdy branch and turned into a mass of minced meat. The innocent death of his companion immediately angered several large bees who were collecting nectar nearby, and they all buzzed and pounced on Nie Li.

These big bees absorb the aura of the sacred tree day and night, not only are they much larger than the bees in the world, all of them are the size of peanuts, but they also have a lot of spiritual intelligence, if it is not too short lifespan, even the possibility of becoming a demon is possible.

"Hey, hey!" Nie Li sneered twice, if these bees were a whole nest, he would still be afraid of two points, but now the big cats and kittens together are only five or six, for him, it is just a piece of cake.

"Bang Bang!" Nie Li didn't use the slap again to prevent being stung by bees, and the two swords danced in front of him into an afterimage, five or six big bees, and several were eliminated by him in an instant, leaving only one or two to see that the momentum was wrong, turned around and flew away, and fled for their lives.

"Let you be arrogant, now all the nectar belongs to me!" Nie Li didn't chase after him, and turned to look at the flowers triumphantly.

Suddenly, the corner of the young man's eyes swept to the bee corpse on the ground, and he was in a daze for a while, and then slapped his head, "You idiot, if you don't dig out the honey, what kind of nectar do you pick!" ”

Nie Li immediately looked up and looked around, and quickly spotted two big bees fleeing in the distance. Suddenly, a lewd smile appeared on the young man's face, and he shook the dream of Ysera behind him, disappeared, and followed the two big bees that fled in a panic.

PS: First of all, the glutton's update for the past two days, apologize in advance, Xiaojuan has just started, and it takes a little time to think about the plot story and sort out the story line. And then there are the previous chapters, there is a lot of foreshadowing, everyone take a closer look, hehe!
