Chapter 302: A Night Visitor
In Yongchuan High School, the girls in the gymnasium are preparing for the high jump practice, and the red and white sportswear on their bodies faintly outlines the curves of their bodies when they are moving, so that the adolescent boys who are practicing at the other end can't help but take a few more looks.
Xia Qiu was among those girls, and she and Liu Lingmei were pressing their legs face to face and jumping up on the spot. As soon as she looked up, she could see Liu Lingmei's somewhat ruddy face, and then she couldn't help but straighten up and look around, who would have thought that she who was in a state of soul separation a few days ago and didn't know if she could wake up, would now be in physical education class like an ordinary high school student.
The memories of everyone in the class were tampered with by Ouyang Xiaoleng with hypnosis, so no one remembered that he and she had been away for so long, and in everyone's eyes, they seemed to come to school on time every day. Listening to their laughter made her feel relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be rejuvenated.
After the ritual was over, her soul was able to return to her body from the Soul Separation Realm, but it took her nearly three days to get used to it. Her body functions had not declined, but she always felt that it was very heavy to do anything, and it was even difficult to walk and talk, and she did not feel hungry, and she suspected that her sense of taste might still be in a state of sleep.
The first thing she was anxious to do after waking up was to go to Xianhequan Township to find out the situation of the Yuhe Immortal, Ouyang Xiaoleng saw that she had just recovered and her body was still weak, so she repeatedly stopped her, but she refused to let him or anyone else go instead of her, and then he had to agree to accompany her three days later.
The fog that had originally condensed on the surface of the lake in Xianhequan Township completely dissipated for some reason, and the reeds on the shore also withered, and the whole lake looked lifeless, and there was no past immortal energy. There was not a single cloud in the sky, not even a single crane could be found, and without their chirping, it was quiet and terrible. It seems to have become another place, a completely strange and desolate place in summer and autumn that had lived with the Feathered Crane Immortals on Immortal Island.
An ominous feeling welled up in her heart, and she and Ouyang Xiaoleng faced the direction of Immortal Island side by side, struggling that she didn't know how to get to the island. Suddenly, several black shadows appeared in the lake water in front of him. When they saw it, it turned out to be the group of giant monster fish that had been guarding the temple of the fairy lake in the lake before, and they were slowly moving closer to the shore and poking their big heads out of the water. Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't know what those giant monster fish were going to do, so he protected Xia Qiu behind him.
The scales on the strange fish were like armor, and they were neatly arranged as they swam. After the first one poked out half of its body, it opened its mouth and said, "Lord Demon King Fox, we have been waiting here for a long time. ”
"Oh? You've been blocking us from the water. Ouyang Xiaoleng said suspiciously.
"Before, we were ordered by the Divine Lord to guard the Immortal Lake Temple, and no one was allowed to approach. Later, the Divine Lord Red Scale was robbed of his body by Meng'er, and we were also under his control, and now Qingyun and his gang have been defeated by you, and after losing the Divine Lord, we have also become free. The strange fish speaks very slowly, and bubbles bubble in his mouth when he speaks.
"Can you send us to Immortal Island?" Xia Qiu asked tentatively.
"Of course, we can't get on land, so we don't know what's going on that island, maybe you can give us an answer." The strange fish replied to her, "Please come on our backs!" ”
"How do we know if you're still working for Qingyun?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng was still wary of these strange fish, in Xianhequan Township, he and Xia Qiu's strength could not be exerted, once they entered the water, it was their territory, in case this was a trap, the two of them would undoubtedly become a gluttonous feast for the big fish.
"Actually, we have something to ask the Feather Crane Immortal, I heard that he was the most favored spirit animal of Lord Qiansu, we want to ask him for help and then beg Lord Qiansu to send a new god lord to this Immortal Lake Temple. After Qingyun's destruction before, the seal in the temple is no longer very stable, and I am afraid that there will be dark power leaking out from inside and outside the source sin blood pool at any time. Big Fish explained slowly.
"Well, but remember! If you dare to deceive the two of us, someone will clean you up! Ouyang Xiaoleng put down his hand protecting Xia Qiu and warned them again.
"Yes!"
The big fish that had taken the lead turned around with its companions, but it and the other one still left half of its body on the surface, and the others sank into the water. Ouyang Xiaoleng helped Xia Qiu to the back of one of the strange fish, and he himself then jumped on the back of the other strange fish. Once they had gained a foothold, the big fish began to swim slowly towards Immortal Island.
Along the way, Xia Qiu's heart was beating extremely fast, and Ouyang Xiaoleng kept comforting her and said, "Don't be afraid! ”
"Thank you!" After Xia Qiu jumped to the shore, she said to the big fish that had carried her just now.
"We'll be waiting here!" The big fish temporarily sinks its body into the water and stands still.
The moment they stepped on Changsheng Island, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was pleased to know that the island's plants were still thriving, with verdant leaves and colorful flowers. She remembered that the plants on the island were somehow closely related to the life of the Feathered Crane Immortal, and she began to believe that he must still be alive.
She and Ouyang Xiaoleng held hands and ran towards the stone pavilion in the center of the island, only the white chair was left in the stone pavilion standing alone in the center, and the red hair ornament of the Feather Crane Immortal on the chair was placed there in a regular manner, but there was no shadow of him.
"Where the hell has he gone?" Xia Qiu muttered to herself.
"Maybe he just went somewhere with the crane......
Ouyang Xiaoleng felt that it might be better not to see the Feather Crane Immortal, thinking that this would mean that he still had a glimmer of life, and the current Xia Qiu might not be able to accept any blow for the time being.
"It must be like this!" Xia Qiu responded, her eyes full of hope again. She decided to take the hair ornament of the Feather Crane Immortal from the chair, "When he comes back, he should know that someone has come to look for him, right?" ”
After returning to Wangcheng Yongchuan, Ouyang Xiaoleng returned to the world with Xia Qiu, she could feel that after all the previous things, his desire to protect her was unprecedentedly expanded, and he almost did not leave her. He did not run away from her gaze, but often carefully observed her face, sometimes taking her hand and saying nothing, just staying quietly for a while, only in this way could he be reassured, he had to make sure again and again that she was there, beside him, and that none of this was an illusion.
Although when Xia Qiu returned home, for her grandparents, she only returned from school as usual, she still couldn't help but burst into tears and hugged them tightly. While recuperating in the Demon Realm, her lost appetite finally revived when she smelled her grandmother's soup, and she touched her gurgling stomach and laughed knowingly.
The room was spotless, grandma should help her clean it every day, before going to the Chi Mir dungeon, the little fox doll that Ouyang Xiaoleng gave her in the video game center was also lying quietly at the head of her bed, she buried her face in the quilt, smelled the smell of the pure cotton cloth on the quilt being sunburned, and soon fell asleep with peace of mind.
Half-asleep and half-awake, there was a rustling sound in her ears, at first she thought it was the sound of rain, but after listening closely, it was not like it, her heart sank, wondering if it would be Qingyun or his subordinates who appeared again. Quietly summoning the plum blade, always ready to greet uninvited guests outside the window.
The window was opened from the outside, and she squinted her eyes and pretended to be asleep, when she saw a tall figure jump in from the window, dressed in black and without any weapon in his hand. He settled on her desk, then onto the ground, and finally to her bedside, and turned his face closer to her.
She raised the plum blade in her hand against the man's neck and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" Qingyun sent you? ”
The man raised a hand, she thought he wanted to fight back, but she didn't expect that he just lit a demon fire, and through the light of the demon fire, her face was reflected, and she recognized his Qingyun general Blackfall at a glance.
"Why did you find here?" Xia Qiuqi asked.
"I know it must scare you, but I'm not here to hurt you, but I'm asking for something." Blackfall raised his hand and took a few steps back.
"Wait for me on the rooftop!"
Xia Qiu intuitively felt that Blackfall was not lying, if he really wanted to harm her, he should have done it just now, with his ability, she would be easily caught by him if she was unprepared.
"Good!" Blackfall nodded and flew out of the window.
Xia Qiu got up and found a coat, and also jumped on the desk, it was a strange feeling to use the window as a door to enter and exit, but now she couldn't care so much. She flew from the window to the roof, where Blackfall waited as she had requested.
"Tell me, why did you come to me?" Xia Qiu still held Mei Jian tightly and asked.
"You've said something in Chimere that I've been concerned about, and it's been a while, but I'd like to ask you why you said that?"
"What did I say?" Xia Qiu had no impression of what Blackfall had described.
"You seem to have become a different person that day, and what you said may have something to do with my background."
"Do you remember what happened before I said those words?"
"Come to think of it, you and I are fighting, and my Blackfall knife has hurt you."
Xia Qiu frowned, thinking that in order to be able to remember the events of that day, he couldn't let him go to him again, so he said, "Borrow your Black Fall Knife and don't play any tricks!" ”
Blackfall silently summoned his Blackfall knife and handed it to Xia Qiu with two hands. The moment Xia Qiu touched the blade of the Black Fall Knife, her body felt an electric shock, and then she realized that she could be separated at any time. Although she knew in her heart that it was extremely dangerous to fall into a state of detachment in front of the enemy, she was powerless to stop it.
