Three days later, Hotaru finally came out of the room.

Since she and Tanuki each returned to their palaces three days ago, she has been locking herself in the house, cultivating the spiritual power that she suddenly absorbed from the red spirit bead into a little bit to dissolve it, so that it can merge with her own spiritual power.

Now the ten thousand years of cultivation stored in that red spirit bead have been absorbed by her, but there is still a little spiritual power left that is a little difficult to dissolve, and even occasionally eats other spiritual power in her body.

But fortunately, those backlashes are not serious, so Nan Hotaru didn't care much about them.

According to the time in the mortal world, she and Ji Liuhuo have been separated from Ling Sushuang for almost a month, and I don't know how the two of them are doing now.

Nan Hotaru rubbed her somewhat sore shoulders and called the maidservant to invite the raccoon while she prepared lunch in the palace.

After Nan Hotaru had eaten and drunk enough, Tanuki also happened to walk in from the door, and when he saw Nan Hotaru, he couldn't help but be a little shocked, but his face was silent.

After Nan Hotaru pulled back all the maids around her, Tanuki took a step forward and saluted Nan Horu, saying, "Is there something wrong with the master looking for Tanuki?" ”

Nan Ying got up slowly and said, "Where are Ah Yan and Ah Li now?" ”

"Now the Green Dragon Divine Monarch and the White Tiger Divine Monarch are about to travel to Yuquan Mountain." Tanuki replied, "Is the master going to look for them?" ”

Nan Ying smiled and nodded: "Those spiritual power cultivations have almost absorbed for me, although there are still some that I can't absorb for the time being, but they are not enough for Ah Yan and Ah Li to perceive." Now that I have remembered who I am, it is only natural that I want to go with them. Besides, if I am not with them, how can I bring out the void? ”

Tanuki was a little puzzled, but still replied: "Okay, then I'll go and explain the matter, and ask the master to wait for a while." ”

After saying that, Tanuki got up and said goodbye, leaving the palace where Nan Hotaru lived to hand over some things about the demon clan in his hand. And Nan Hotaru looked thoughtfully at the back of Tanuki leaving, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, get up and go to pack the things she needed for this trip.

Yuquan Mountain is the dividing line between the middle and northwest of the mortal continent, and the mountain shape is dangerous, and the mountain is extremely high. Because Nan Ying and Tanuki didn't know where Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang were at this time, they had to wait for them together at the entrance of Yuquan Mountain.

When you enter the Yuquan Mountain Pass, you enter the northwest region.

Nan Ying lay on an auspicious cloud above the Yuquan Mountain Pass, chatting and waiting for most of the day, and finally waited for Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang, who came side by side at dusk.

As soon as Nan Ying saw the two of them, she regained her spirits, and immediately jumped down from the clouds and ran directly towards the two of them: "Brother Liuhuo, Sister Sushuang, you wait for me!" ”

Ji Liuhuo was the first to look at the sound when he heard the sound, and after seeing Nan Ying, who was running towards them with a small package on his back, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and stayed in place.

I don't know why, Ji Liuhuo only felt that the bad mood in his heart in the past 20 days or so suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was the unknown pleasure in his heart.

It's just that he covered it up very well and didn't let this joy be exposed. Instead, Nan Ying happily ran between him and Ling Sushuang, holding him with one hand and Ling Sushuang with the other, with undisguised joy in her voice: "Brother Liuhuo, Sister Sushuang, I finally found you." ”

Ling Sushuang frowned reflexively at the moment when she was held by Nan Ying, but she thought about the benefits of leaving Ziyu behind that Ji Liuhuo had told her before, and chose to be patient.

Ji Liuhuo told her that he had seen in an ancient book left by the ancient god Nuwa that the hosta flower was the natural enemy of the snake demon.

It is recorded in that ancient book that if you want to really get rid of the beetle snake, you must use the divine blade refined from the blood of the 10,000-year-old hosta flower to pierce the seven inches of the beetle snake. In the process of fighting with the beetle snake demon with the blade, it is best to have a 10,000-year-old hosta flower next to it to protect each other with spiritual power, so as to suppress the very snake venom of the beetle snake demon.

Therefore, even though Ling Sushuang was already dissatisfied with Zi Yu at this time because of the matter of the raccoon dog, he reluctantly endured it after considering that Zi Yu was still needed to get rid of the beetle snake demon.

Although Zi Yu only has a few thousand years of cultivation now, when it is time to fight with the beetle snake demon, it would be good for her and Beizang to spend thousands of years of cultivation on Zi Yu. At that time, the divine blade refined from Ziyu's blood by Ji Liuhuo will definitely be able to kill the void and avenge Nan Hotaru.

Thinking like this, Ling Sushuang completely suppressed the resentment against Ziyu in her heart, but she didn't know that the person who stayed by her side at this time was actually her best friend Nan Ying.

Nan Ying, who was on the side, noticed Ling Sushuang's absent-mindedness, and couldn't help but pull Ling Sushuang's sleeve a little nervously: "Sister Sushuang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Sushuang was pulled by Nan Yingyi and came back to his senses: "It's okay, why are you here?" ”

"I said I'd help you get rid of the snake demon together, so of course I'm here." Nan Hotaru said with a grin.

Nan Ying said, and without saying anything, she pulled Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang towards Yuquan Mountain together.

And after the three of them disappeared together for a long time, Tanuki came down from the auspicious cloud that Nan Hotaru was riding on. He looked at the direction in which Nan Hotaru and the three of them left, with a shallow loneliness in his eyes.

Somehow, Tanuki suddenly remembered that when he and Nan Hotaru came to Yuquan Mountain by clouds before, Nan Hotaru would peek at him from time to time along the way, at first he didn't know why, but then he finally couldn't help it after many times, and asked Nan Hotaru thoughtfully: "The master has been looking at the raccoon dog, but what's wrong with the raccoon dog?" ”

Hearing this, Nan Ying hurriedly shook her hand, lowered her head as if she was a little weak-hearted, and then raised her head to look at him again, with a little apology in her eyes: "Tanuki, you know, Ah Yan and Ah Li are dissatisfied with you now, if you appear with me, I am afraid that they will ......"

"Please rest assured, the raccoon dog is only secretly protecting each other, and will never appear in front of the Blue Dragon Divine Monarch and the White Tiger Divine Monarch."

Tanuki replied casually, enduring the bitterness in his heart.

He never thought that one day he would be a burden to Nan Hotaru.

He thought that Nan Ying would detoxify him at the expense of himself, and he also entrusted him with the extremely important hosta, because he was different in Nan Ying's heart after all.

But he forgot that Nan Ying and Dong Yan and Xili and Beizang, the four of them have known each other for tens of thousands of years, protected and helped each other, and experienced so many ups and downs together, even if she gave him the hosta handed over to her by the ancient god Nuwa for safekeeping, it can be said that he is just one of her pets after all.

It's a pet, not a close friend, so even if she hides her identity from the three of them, in her heart, he will never be as good as the three of them.

Tanuki covered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, then took out a small wooden box from his arms. The wooden box was very simple, but the lid was carved with a dumb fox and a lifelike flower.

This small wooden box was carved by him and Ziyu together. It was his birthday at that time, and he asked Ziyu for a gift she had made herself, and then Ziyu made a small wooden box by herself, and carved a fox on it.

Zi Yu's manual work is not very good, the fox was carved by her very clumsy, and his stupid appearance is not as handsome as one-ten-thousandth of his.

But he loved this little wooden box very much, in the days when Ziyu sneaked into the mortal world, every time he wanted to find Ziyu, he would turn out this wooden box to comfort himself, and after a long time, he felt that the fox on the wooden box was very lonely, so he carved a flower in front of the fox.

This wooden box, speaking of which, is probably the only gift that Zi Yu gave him with his own hands.

Tanuki lowered his head and gently stroked the fox on the wooden box with his thumb, and found the button to open the wooden box.

I saw that on the flannel cloth in the wooden box, a thin rope with a small golden bell and a white jade bone fan were carefully placed. Tanuki looked at the string for a long time, and suddenly laughed dumbly.

The string was the one he had brought back from Arnold not long ago, and the jade bone fan was something that Nan Hotaru had just given him.

Nan Hotaru said this when she handed him the fan, she said, "This jade bone fan was bought by Huan Ah Yan and wanted to give it to Ah Yan when I thought of myself as Ziyu. Although it was said that it was me when my soul had not awakened, I still felt twisted, and I always felt that someone else was coveting my Ah Yan, but if I threw it away like this, I always felt that it was not good. ”

Nan Hotaru said and glanced at him carefully, and hesitated: "Tanuki, I remember that you have always wanted this fan before, why don't I give it to you, how about it?" ”

Nan Hotaru seemed to be very afraid of making him sad when she said this, but she didn't know that he would not be uncomfortable because of these things for a long time. So he thanked Nan Ying with a smile and took the jade bone fan from her hand.

When Nan Hotaru gave him this fan, it was like giving out a hot potato, and after sending it, the whole person relaxed. But Tanuki remembered that Ziyu was so precious that he was reluctant to let him take a look at it, as if he was afraid that he would snatch it.

And it was at that time that Tanuki Zhicai really realized that Ziyu had really left and would never come back.

Tanuki looked at Nan Hotaru in front of him, in the past, her soul had not yet awakened, and when she was making trouble as Zi Yu, he often felt a little trance when he looked at her face, and he felt in a trance that Zi Yu was actually Nan Hotaru. But now that he looked at Nan Hotaru's face, he would no longer feel that Nan Hotaru was Ziyu.

She was just Nan Ying, so even though she was still tossing and turning around Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang as Zi Yu now, she could abandon the things that Zi Yu treasured.

But it doesn't matter, Ziyu is cherished by him alone, and that's enough.

Tanuki slowly closed the wooden box and put it back in its place, closed his eyes and woke up, and then raised his feet and walked in the direction where Nan Hotaru and the others had left.

Now they are located in Yuquan Mountain, after crossing Yuquan Mountain, you can reach Longmen Town, ten miles outside Longmen Town is the first big pass in the northwest Yumen Pass, after passing the Yumen Pass, and then through a poplar forest, the silver moon city outside the poplar forest is the end of the trip.

And according to Nan Hotatsu's guess, nine times out of ten, the void turbidity is hiding in Silvermoon City.
