Chapter 22: Aunt Herring

"Sister Ling Ran, where should we go?" Little Tail asked again, his eyes blinking.

I came back to my senses and sighed, "I don't know. ”

"Huh? So what to do? ”

"Take one step at a time, it's still early before dawn, go to bed first." I said, leaning against the stone wall and closing my eyes. Little Tail just wanted to ask something more, but when he saw me like this, he was silent, and fell asleep on tiptoe into my arms.

No matter what time of day, as long as you close your eyes, time always flies. It was as if in an instant, the sun fell to the ground, crept into the hole, and enveloped us. I felt the light outside my eyes, moved my eyes, and opened them. The fire had been extinguished, leaving only fine ashes, and some lilac smoke floated slightly in the sunlight.

I gently moved my little tail to the ground. After resting for half the night, my physical strength had fully recovered, and I went out of the hole to try the spell, and my strength not only did not decrease, but improved. I can't imagine that this spell is like a brain, and the more you use it, the more powerful it becomes. So, I used it a few more times to blow up the dust everywhere before I would stop.

Looking through the smoke and dust, in the distance, a person rushed in.

"Old Moβ€”it's not good!" It was a thunderbolt, he hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "Brother He, Brother He, he was caught, life and death are uncertain!" ”

Like a thunderbolt slashing the heavenly spirit cover, I was at a loss, and I was stunned for a long time before I remembered to speak, and my tone was suppressed and panicked: "Where is he now?" ”

Pin Qilei pointed behind him: "Xiangshui, in the river we crossed yesterday." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I went into the cave and picked up my little tail, and decisively ran to the water: "Save people!" ”

Pin Qilei looked at me, the corners of his mouth rising inadvertently.

When I was about to reach the water, I realized that something was wrong, and without saying a word, I stopped, and hit me with a thunderbolt, and complained very dissatisfiedly about my actions.

I stared at him and asked, "Rushing water?" You mean to say that the mirage caught him? ”

"yes, not really!"

"Why did it arrest him?"

Pin Qilei said helplessly: "After you drove us away last night, he wanted to go back, but he was blocked by the water, and the kid scolded the river, and the mirage came out of the water and brought him to the bottom. ”

"Oh, that's right." I pretended to suddenly realize, and then turned puzzled, "However, when I saw it yesterday, your spell seems to be dozens of times higher than mine, why don't you save him and find me instead?" ”

Pin Qilei immediately replied: "I don't know how to water, if I know how to water, I won't go down long ago!" ”

I nodded and smiled. This set of rhetoric is really convincing. Pin Qilei kept looking at me, and when he saw me smiling, he was very puzzled: "Why are you ...... Laughed? ”

"Back to me, he saved me from my downfall, and now I can finally see his embarrassment." I paused and said nonchalantly, "By the way, take this opportunity to repay his kindness." ”

Ji Qilei's expression was natural: "Yes, yes, let's go and save people." ”

"Let's go." I lifted my foot and took a half step forward, and then I took it back, and I was like, "I don't know how to water, I almost drowned in water." ”

"Can you compare what you used to be to what you are now? You now have the mana of the Kui Ladle Immortal in your body, and you can't use it however you want. Hurry up, why don't you just wrap yourself in an air mass underwater? You absolutely can. ”

I stepped onto the shore. The water is murmuring eastward, the mist on the water surface is slightly purple, and the reeds on both sides of the river move slightly with the wind. The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the inside. I couldn't imagine what would happen to He Yunwei at all, and I didn't dare to think about it. The only thing he can do now is cast a spell and go into the water to rescue him.

I handed the little tail to Pinchilei, and the little one lazily half-squinted and asked me where I was going. The mirage spell was above me, and I couldn't guarantee that I would return safely, but I couldn't bear to lie, so I replied that I would be back soon. Before I could finish, it fell asleep again. That's fine, needless to say.

I jumped into the water and cast a spell with my hand, and the red dots of light in my hand flew and spread out in a circle, forming an oval-shaped air mass that protected me inside. As if I were on the ground, I slowly walked to the bottom. The water is very deep, and as you walk, the sunlight is completely gone, but your feet have not yet reached the bottom. I stretched out my palm to create a ball of light, and although the red light was not as bright as a candle or firewood, I could barely see.

I don't know how long later, a light appeared under him, covering almost the entire bottom of the river. Descending further, it was found that it was a palace, and the entire palace was built of night pearls and fluorite, which was jeweled and magnificent.

Almost there! I couldn't help but speed up, who knew that when I was five feet away from Miyagi, a purple light appeared, and at the same time, my body seemed to be struck by lightning, paralyzed, and trembling. I held my nerve and cast a spell to fight against it, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was bounced out, and my whole person swirled like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the bottom of the water.

In order to prevent foreign invasion, the leader of his clan likes to set up an enchantment on the periphery of his residence, and what I just encountered should be the enchantment of the Mirage Clan.

I scrambled to my feet and cast the spell again, ready to break through the barrier. However, just like just now, not only did it have no effect, but it hurt all over the body.

No, come again!

"A bold mortal, with the kung fu of a three-legged cat, dares to spread wild in front of my Xuanzi Palace City!" A little demon walked out of the barrier, holding a steel fork and dancing his teeth and claws.

I saluted and said respectfully, "A friend of mine was arrested because of a misunderstanding, can you be accommodating and let me go in to save him?" ”

"Whew! Those who are caught here have made a big mistake, and they can only be spit out of bones, go and go, the master is busy, and he has no time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't want to end up like him, go quickly. ”

"Yes, excuse me." I pretended to give in, took a few steps back and turned away. Then he hid in a hidden place while he wasn't looking, and eavesdropped on the spell inside.

Sure enough, he had no defense, lest I would not hear him, and recited the incantation aloud, so I took it to heart. After a while, I came to the barrier again, and recited the incantation he had just said, and sure enough, the barrier opened a semicircular door, and I was able to enter.

As soon as I entered, three little demons came to meet me, they were holding bamboo baskets, talking as they walked, and between their words, they seemed to talk about He Yunwei. I quietly followed, and through a few words, I learned some about the situation: it turned out that He Yunwei was arrested for disrespecting the mirage, the only king of this river, and it was difficult to escape death, but under the repeated pleas of the princess of the mirage, he was saved.

I rejoiced as I followed closer.

The three little demons separated when they arrived at a coral garden, concentrating on the corals. Suddenly, the three baskets were filled with colorful colors, and they returned satisfied. I followed closely, turning around and coming to a small and chic courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of falling things in the house, followed by a nice gentle female voice: "The water repellent pill I specially gave you is not for you to lose your temper, you ...... like this"

"You let me go!" An angry roar interrupted her words, and this voice was He Yun's worry.

People saved you, and you still don't know what to do, I thought with a smile.

The woman's voice was more than a few tones: "He Yunwei! Don't bite Lu Dongbin, if I wasn't in a good mood today, I wouldn't have bothered to save you, an unlucky ghost. ”

"Will you save me? It's just an ulterior motive......" His words came to an abrupt halt, replaced by the muffled sound of his body hitting the wall.

"He Yunwei! I told you, why are you so stubborn! Do you really not want to live? ”。

"That's right! You killed me! He Yunwu shouted, and then, his voice turned to a whisper, "Maybe this way, she will worry about me." ”

The second sentence was so low that I tried to hear it but couldn't hear it clearly. But the woman's voice next made me hear it very well.

"She? You mean...... The guy outside the door? ”

Hearing this, I was shocked, and when I looked around, the three little demons who had just picked coral pounced violently, broke my protective air mass, grabbed me with my backhand, and sent me into the house. I immediately held my breath, but within a moment I felt very uncomfortable, and my face turned red.

And at this moment, Princess Qing seemed to be on purpose, pacing in front of me. After a few back and forth, he picked my jaw and prepared for questioning. I looked at her, and it only felt familiar, but I didn't show it. And she was shocked, opened her mouth, and shouted for a long time: "Quick, give her water pills!" ”

After taking the water pill, it was like returning to land, the discomfort quickly disappeared, and there was even some physical and mental relaxation. Princess Qing's eyes were full of tears, and her trembling hands held my face: "Sister, I haven't seen you for fifteen years, why did you become like this?" ”

"Sister?" He Yun was shocked, "Lu Ran, you? You guys? ”

Princess Qing waved her hand and ordered someone to take He Yunyou away. He Yunwu kicked and refused to obey, but was finally dragged out.

I gently pulled her hand: "Although I also look at your face, we don't know each other. ”

"No way, your appearance is obviously ......" she shook her head with tears in her eyes, and then remembered something, "Yes, yes! That kid said your name is Ling Ran, Mo Ling Ran! Sister Shu once said that she was going to name her daughter Ling Ran. Ling Ran, I'm your sister's youngest sister Lihui, Aunt Hui! ”

Mother's sister, no wonder it looks familiar, but ...... It's better to be cautious after all.

Seeing that I was unmoved, she took a few steps back and said weakly: "Yes, you don't remember, and you can't remember...... By the way, how are your parents? ”

I bowed my head and took off the Soul Comb. If this person were really my aunt, he would have recognized it and would have understood what I was implying by doing so.

Sure enough, she covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and tears poured down her face. She reached out to look at the comb, but when she touched it, she turned to my hand and clenched it tightly: "Good boy, you take it, you wear it." ”

I put back the comb and made sure that she was my aunt, and then I said slowly: "I have never been to the top of the red maple mountain before, but I went up by chance that day, and there is a house there, maybe it is the former residence of my parents, right?" Without waiting for her to answer, I continued, "I fell asleep in the house that night, and I dreamed that both my parents had died because of the burden of the monarch of the White Republic, and now all kinds of evidence show that the dream was true. ”

"Lu Ran, you have to be more detailed." Aunt Ei said eagerly. So, I told her everything about that dream.

After hearing this, she nodded again and again: "Yes, our herring clan can indeed store memories in a certain place and give dreams to designated people." So, what do you plan to do in the future? ”

I stared into the distance, my eyes fierce: "Of course, blood debt and blood repayment." I don't care what the reason, his surname is pinned to kill my parents, and I want to let his son die too. ”

"Ran." Aunt Ei looked at me worriedly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Hui, I'll be fine. The only thing I'm worried about is my friends. Based on my assumptions, I am not going to bring his son back to life, and I will definitely threaten my friend's life. And now, my biggest friend is He Yunwu, and I hope that Aunt Hui will help me take care of him. ”

Aunt Hui said: "Silly boy, I am afraid that your little thoughts have already been seen through by the thunder, and letting you save He Yunwei is to test your mind, once you have affection, he will hold him in his hands at all costs." He has a lot of mana, don't talk about me, even my father-in-law can't beat him, it's useless for me to take care of it. ”

"But ......"

"Besides, you are not a pleasure-seeker at all, and if you want to go to that worry-free country without a friend, your purpose is really doubtful." Seeing that I was silent, she continued, "Lu Ran, I see that the kid is infatuated with you, and he is willing to do anything for you, so why should you bear all this yourself? ”

"Aunt Hui, I don't want others to be involved, and besides, this involvement is involved in my life." I exclaimed.
