Chapter 56: The White Crane and the Black Crane
Dong Muya took another sip of tea, and then continued: "Okay, okay, get to the point!" Didn't the Feather Crane Immortal say that he was with Tianfu when he woke up? You see, here, where did the Celestial Runes come from and fall into the Demon Realm? ”
She flipped a page and pointed out a passage she had drawn with a highlighter.
"Divine Realm." Xia Qiu replied without thinking.
That's right, that's the first keyword! Therefore, the Feathered Crane Immortal and the Divine Realm must have some kind of connection! Looking at it again, this is a more reasonable statement, that is, among the many spirit beasts raised by the god Qiansu in his palace in the divine domain, there is a snow-white crane, only the red lotus-shaped imprint on the top of the head, it is gentle by nature, often dances, and is the favorite spirit animal of the gods. And among the spirit beasts, there is another black crane trying to steal the rune of the gods, that is, the rune, in order to increase his divine power when he was discovered by the white crane, in the competition both black and white cranes were seriously injured, and the white crane finally recaptured the rune but unfortunately fell with the rune, it is unknown whether it is alive or dead. I think this legend is very interesting, related to the Feather Crane Immortal and the Heavenly Fu waking up on Eternal Life Island together, is he the fallen white crane spirit beast? ”
Dong Muya skillfully flipped out a few places she had marked and read them out, and she only needed to read all the information once to remember the specific number of pages and lines.
Xia Qiu suddenly remembered the huge red headdress on the head of the Feather Crane Immortal, she hadn't noticed that it was in the shape of a red lotus flower, and the pair of huge white wings behind the Feather Crane Immortal also coincided with the information about the White Crane Spirit Beast found by Teacher Dong Muya, but then she had a bad premonition, and couldn't help blurting out: "Then could it be that it was on the verge of death when it fell to the demon realm, and it was the Heavenly Rune Ghost that extended its life by the gods, if it left the Heavenly Rune, it would ......"
"If he is really the White Crane Spirit Beast of the God Realm as rumored, then if it weren't for the Heavenly Rune, he would have died a long time ago, and the injuries on his body were fatal." The reason why Dong Muya went around in such a big circle to come to this conclusion was that he hesitated that Xia Qiu would be sad when he heard it.
Xia Qiu's eyes began to redden, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes, she felt that if it was really as Dong Muya had come to the conclusion, then she would not become one of the murderers of the Yuhe Immortal, because she was a part of the Heavenly Rune that maintained his life, she began to be a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know how to convey such news to the Yuhe Immortal.
"What is the deadliest weapon of the Black Crane?" Qianqi thought for a moment and asked.
"The man also provided this information, according to him, the feathers on its wings, which contained a poison that no one but the gods could solve." Dong Muya replied.
Qianqi suddenly turned to Xia Qiu with a smile, with the confidence that he already knew everything, making Xia Qiu stunned for a moment.
He comforted her, "Don't cry! Assuming that it was this poison that made the White Crane Spirit Beast on the verge of death, and that the Feathered Crane Immortal was precisely the illusion of the White Crane Spirit Beast, then there was another person who might be able to save his life! ”
Xia Qiu and Dong Muya asked in unison: "Who ?!!?"
Qianqi deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then replied, "Me! ”
"Oh, yes! The dragon's blood can solve the poison that other things can't solve, not to mention that Qianqi's father, the Amber Dragon King, is from the divine realm. Dong Muya was annoyed by her sluggishness, and patted her head lightly, just now due to her excessive mood swings, she actually forgot about the fact that Qianqi inherited the blood of the dragon god.
Xia Qiu also recalled at once that when she was poisoned by the water of the backwater pool, it was Qian Qi who saved her with his dragon blood.
"If this information and our speculation are correct, then my dragon blood is his antidote, without further ado, let's return to the demon world as soon as possible!" Qianqi proposed, seeing that Xia Qiu was no longer sobbing, he also became happy.
Xia Qiu didn't know what to say, it was obviously a promise he made to the Feathered Crane Immortal, but Qianqi didn't hesitate to promise to save his dragon blood for him. Dragon's blood is an extremely precious antidote, and after Qianqi saved himself with his blood, Grandpa Yong once told her that dragons, as one of the most noble animals, would never give their blood to others.
"It can be regarded as compensating for my previous misunderstanding of him, thinking about that person's background is really pitiful, and if he is really a white crane spirit animal, the Tianfu is the only thing that can relieve the poison on his body to maintain his life, and I will become one of the murderers who killed him if I took the Tianfu from him." Qianqi saw Xia Qiu's desire to speak again, scratched his head and said.
Xia Qiu nodded, she didn't expect Qianqi to think of a place with her, so she responded: "Hmm! ”
As soon as Qianqi returned to the Demon Realm King City with Xia Qiu, he sealed a bottle of his own dragon blood, and sent it to the whole town of Xianhe by the demon horse Qingcui together with a letter from her, in which the information about the white crane spirit beast obtained from Dong Muya was truthfully recounted.
When Xia Qiu put the bottle containing the dragon's blood and her own handwritten letter into the bag on Cuicui's back, watching it gradually disappear from sight, her mood was still uneasy, and she could only silently pray that everything would really be as they had analyzed, and that this precious dragon's blood would not only relieve the great poison that still remained in his body, but also soothe his heartache with this letter.
After the Feather Crane Immortal left the Immortal Island in the summer and autumn, he fell into a dormant state, and the whole island had become barren with him, except for the flowers that surrounded the stone pavilion where he lived still bloomed. He couldn't remember how long he had been asleep, but he couldn't wake up in a trance, and he was like a lonely ghost in the places he had been to and had never been to in the demon world.
For him, letting her return to Yongchuan is not mixed with any selfish purpose, even if she can't fulfill her promise to help him find the past that belongs to him, it doesn't matter, just because the days with her have become the best picture since he can remember, even if he dies like this, what's the big deal, he has no memory, his body is empty, and it is so painful to fill it only with empty and lonely time.
When he was leaving somewhere in the demon world, he was awakened by the cranes, which had been very noisy since early this morning. It took him a great deal of effort to open his eyes, perhaps because he had slept for so long, that everything in front of him was a little blurry, and a crane with a brocade bag jumped gracefully in front of him, and handed him the bag in his mouth, which was more like a dream than when he was gone.
"Didn't it come from Xia Qiu?"
The Feathered Crane Immortal muttered to himself and took the bag, which weighed a little in his hand, and he untied the rope on it, and inside the bag was a letter and a silver bottle. He put the bottle aside first, folded and folded the letter, the letter was handwritten by Xia Qiu, her handwriting was completely different from the impression given by her appearance, the pen was strong and powerful, he couldn't help but smile when he saw it, it was really like a person, isn't it such a tough character under her weak appearance. In the letter, she detailed everything she had learned from Dong Muya about the past that might have been the Feather Crane Immortal, and told him about the possibility that drinking dragon blood might save his life, and at the end of the letter was an apology for taking the Celestial Talisman away from him without knowing the truth, and greetings to him. This was the first letter he had received since he could remember, and the faint friendship mixed with the scent of ink was so warm.
Without hesitation, he unscrewed the silver bottle, drank the dragon's blood inside, and then got up and walked down the stone pavilion from among the cranes surrounding him, even if the dragon's blood could not save his life, he wanted to say goodbye to the island that had been with him for a long time. He stepped on the large withered vegetation of the island, and after a few steps he became more and more weak, and fell to the ground as soon as his feet became weak.
I don't know if it's the effect of dragon blood, he felt that his body began to heat up from the inside out, and that force broke the blood pulse that had been unobstructed in his body for a long time, and although he was constantly sweating, his body felt more and more relaxed. In fact, his intuition told him that the white crane spirit beast in the divine realm that Xia Qiu said in the letter was himself, and the fragments of his memory were turned out from the depths of his mind little by little in the fainting, and it turned out that they never disappeared, but just hidden. The lotus pond where he danced for the gods when he was a white crane spirit animal, and the tenderness in his eyes, the longing that was stuck in his body turned out to be not for this forgotten long memory, but the tenderness that he did not have later. He suddenly understood why he was so attracted by Xia Qiu's gaze, because when she looked at him, her eyes revealed exactly the tenderness and compassion that seemed to be copied from Qiansu.
On that day, he did sink to the bottom of the lotus pond in the battle in order to stop the black crane's plan to use the celestial rune to gain great power. In fact, he should have discovered the changes in the black crane a long time ago, they were originally brought into the divine realm by the gods together, and they also had a deep friendship because of their companionship all day long. But Black Crane is different from himself, he is not willing to be trapped in the divine realm as the pet beast of the gods, but he does not resist, perhaps it is for this reason that they are gradually estranged.
Black Crane Kai has been soaking his feathers with the poison concocted by the flowers and seeds of wisteria vines, and the poison on his body is caused by that, although he stopped him from snatching the heavenly talisman at that time, but what happened to him later is unknown to him.
Falling into the demon realm and having a poison in his body, he survived with the power of the Heavenly Rune, and the Heavenly God must have forgotten him, right? That's why I didn't come to look for him. He awoke in sorrow, his face full of tears, and found that the withered flowers on the ground where he had fallen had come back to life, and he sat up and continued to walk on the island, his steps becoming stronger, and the vitality of the plants on the whole island was revived with it.
Immortal Island was reborn with him, and this second life, which he knew was given to him by her and her companions, along with the past he had been looking for, was full of sadness, but the final ending was unexpectedly beautiful.
