Chapter 46: The Fruit of Eternal Life (14)
Ah Nian took advantage of Li Yingge and Li Yinyue's inattention to get up once, but as soon as he sat up, he was dizzy, so he had to lie back again, and soon fell asleep again.
At dusk, Ah Nian woke up, and opened his eyes in a daze to see a strange white shadow in the golden glow of the sunset, which suddenly frightened a spirit.
"Miss Ah Nian, don't be afraid, it's me. β
This hoarse and somewhat ugly voice Ah Nian was not very familiar, but she was very familiar with the tone of this voice, and she unconsciously calmed down. Ah Nianding saw it clearly, and in front of him was a person wrapped in white gauze who almost became a fat silkworm without even showing his eyes.
Ah Nian furrowed his eyebrows, "You ......"
"Ah Nian girl, don't worry, I'm actually fine now, but the trauma is more serious, and I have taken medicine, and the real person in charge said that it will only take two or three days to get better. β
Ah Nian sat up slowly, carefully looked at the big white silkworm beside the bed, how awkward it looked, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he didn't look at him.
"Originally, it wasn't very good-looking, and it was disfigured!" Ah Nian said as if he looked at the golden glow of the sunset outside the window.
"The real person in charge said that it will be fine, and it can be restored exactly the same as before. β
"I think it's not exactly the same, or let the boss make you look better!" Ah Nian said coldly. I'm still angry if I don't look at him now!
Zi was silent for a long moment, and asked in a cautious low voice, "Miss Ah Nian, are you angry?"
Ah Nian ignored it.
Zixu pondered for a moment, and then adhered to his recent comprehension of Ah Nian's style of acting, anyway, all the mistakes were his fault, and he said softly with interest, "I was wrong, okay, Ah Nian girl?"
"No!" Obviously, he couldn't show any expression now, but Ah Nian felt that he must be pitiful and aggrieved now.
Zixu was really aggrieved and complained, but he didn't indulge for too long, sighed helplessly, and quickly said, "I came to let Miss Ah Nian eat the fruit of eternal life." Otherwise, your Gu poison will attack again at night!"
Ah Nian looked at the head of the bed, only to find that there was a tray on the small table next to him, and a white fruit shaped like a duck pear was placed in it, but it looked like a jade carving, not like a real fruit at all. Ah Nian reached out and picked it up, but when he looked closely, he still felt that this fruit didn't look like it was edible, and he always felt that he would knock his teeth when he bit it.
"Eat, Miss A-Nian. Zixu urged.
Holding the fruit in her hand, Ah Nian felt an inexplicable trace of warmth in her palm, but it stands to reason that she can't feel the warmth and coldness. This fruit does seem extraordinary. Ah Nian glanced at him, and naturally she still couldn't see his appearance at this time, but she felt that he should be quite happy and excited, even happier than her as a client.
"You really got it!" Ah Nian sighed with emotion in his heart, but his tone was plain.
"That's right!" Zixu was obviously very happy.
Ah Nian was silent for a while, and then asked, "Zixu Daoist, who are you?"
"Huh?"
Ah Nian held the fruit in both hands and spun it around in his hands...... Asked seriously, "How did you get the Holy Medicine?" Why did Penglai suddenly change his mind?"
"This one...... It's a long story. β
"Then take your time. β
"Ah Nian, in fact, my throat hurts a little. β
"I can hear you. β
"You're willing to let me talk like that?"
Ah Nian watched him silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "I am willing, but I feel distressed." β
"I knew that Miss Ah Nian was kind-hearted. β
"Shut up!" Ah Nian was still annoyed.
"Good. As soon as he closed his mouth, Zixu said again, "Ah Nian girl, you eat the fruit first!"
Ah Nian glared at him fiercely, "You dare to say a word again......"
Zixu resigned himself to it.
Ah Nian looked at the fruit over and over for a long time, and finally held the fruit in both hands and fed it to his mouth, opened his mouth and bit it lightly-
"Miss Ah Nian, what's wrong?" Zixu noticed something was wrong.
Ah Nian came back to his senses, "As soon as I took a bite of it, the fruit was gone, as if it had run into my stomach." β
"Since it is an extraordinary holy medicine, it may be a little different from ordinary fruits. Zixu comforted.
Ah Nian felt a little hot in his chest without a heart at this time, and it should be that the effect of the medicine was starting to work......
"It should be!" Ah Nian was stunned after speaking, and then glared at Zixu, "Didn't you say that your throat hurts, so you don't want to speak?"
"I'm worried about you. Zi Xuan blurted out.
Ah Nian was silent for a moment and said softly, "I know." β
Soon, the feeling of fever spread to the whole body, Ah Nian felt comfortable and relaxed, and it seemed that the whole person was about to fly lightly, but not long after, her mind began to be a little groggy, and her eyes began to blur, and in a trance she saw some golden light overflowing from her body......
"Miss Ah Nian?"
Ah Nian heard Zixu's voice calling her urgently, but she was dragged into the chaos before she could respond.
In the mist, Ah Nian came to the peach blossom burning place again, it was still a beautiful day and a clear sky and a breeze, she stood in front of a mirror-like lake, stared at the lake for a long time, the lake reflected her figure, dressed in plain white clothes, without a trace of pattern or decoration, her long black hair was scattered almost to the ground, but her face was covered with a gorgeous golden mask, covering her face......
Suddenly, a large blue bird with gorgeous wings flew in, and its reflection crossed the lake, falling behind her, and a young girl called behind her, "Niangniang-"
She didn't look back, she seemed to be very familiar with the girl behind her, and said softly, "I need to wait a little longer." β
"Although it is not a trivial matter for Lord Feng to wake up today, there is no need for Niangniang to wait here in person. β
"It's not necessary, it's just that I think. She looked up at the peach blossom forest across the lake, "I've always been idle, and I don't have anything else to do." β
"It's Qingluan's mouth!"
"I used to be the only one here, and it was very cold, but with you and your bird clan coming, it is finally more lively. β
Qingluan thought that Niangniang didn't like to be lively. β
"If it's always lively, it's boring, just like I used to be lonely and lonely every day. β
Qingluan understood. β
"She sent you when she said you were clever and likable, but she was right. β
"It's good if Niangniang doesn't get tired of Qingluan. β
She smiled very lightly and said nothing.
The two of them stood by the lake one after the other, and passed silently for a long time, until the surface of the lake, which had no waves as if it had been frozen, began to wave......
"The phoenix is coming out!"
As soon as Qingluan's slightly excited words fell, a red fire rose from the lake, and the lake and the sky were instantly dyed red, the wind was fierce, and the peach blossoms flew all over the sky...... Suddenly, a big golden bird with gorgeous wings with fire light flew out of the lake, the original blue sky and white clouds also turned golden, countless various birds flew from all directions, and the Qingluan behind her also turned into a bird and went to the sky...... The glow poured above the clouds, and the birds and chirpings swept through the peach blossom forest and went to the wider world......
She kept staring at the golden phoenix flying and circling in the sky, until the birds finally dispersed, and the golden phoenix fell and turned into a woman in red. The woman's appearance is scorching, heroic and gorgeous, but her expression is as cold as frost, as if it is a contradictory fusion of fire and ice.
The woman saluted neatly and generously, "Chi Ji thanks Niang Niang for taking her in for many days!"
She nodded, "I'll take care of what you left behind." β
The woman in red stood up straight, "Since I gave it up voluntarily, then I don't want it." Mother, don't bother. β
She smiled faintly again, "If you want to take it back one day, you can come and get it at any time." β
The woman in red silently said, "Thank you, Niangniang!"
She only nodded.
The woman in red looked behind her, and only nodded, didn't say anything more, and then changed into a red light......
She finally turned around and wanted to leave, Qingluan suddenly asked, "Niangniang, what did the Phoenix Lord leave behind?"
"You want to know?"
At this time, she saw Qingluan's appearance, a pretty and slender girl.
"I'm just curious. Qingluan lowered his head in fear and said, "Qingluan is talking too much again!"
"Birds are really curious. She doesn't want it, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. She said in a calm tone, "There is ice under the lake that seals her heart. β
Qingluan's face turned pale, "Heart, can the heart leave the body?"
"Your heart can't, she can. Because she is God. β
"God does not die without a heart?"
"If God has a heart, he will have love, and if he has love, he will die!"
Qingluan was puzzled......
She was suddenly very sad, and that sudden and intense sadness pulled Ah Nian out of her dreamβ
"Miss Chu?"
Ah Nian woke up, opened his eyes and saw a familiar face, his heart was still full of unexplained sadness, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist and hot......
"Miss Chu, what's wrong with you?
Ah Nianding saw that it was Li Yingge who was talking, and Li Yinyue was still standing next to her.
"It's not a nightmare!" Ah Nian brushed away the sadness in her heart and immediately sat up, Li Yingge and Li Yinyue didn't stop her this time, the two just helped her.
Ah Nian saw that the room was bright and the windows were still backlit, it should be before noon, so he asked, "I slept for a long time?"
Li Yinyue replied, "You slept for three days and four nights. β
Li Yingge nodded in agreement, and added, "The Void Daoist has been guarding you for the past few days, and he just left." β
At this mention, Ah Nian remembered important things, "How is his injury?"
"Don't worry, it's all right!" Li Yingge replied very quickly, "There are definitely not a lot of them everywhere." Our Penglai has spent so much on him, if we can't cure him, where will our Penglai's face be put in the future?"
Li Yinyue suddenly remembered something, and immediately said, "His injuries are all cured, but he suddenly told the head of the house before that he would let the head help him look better, and I almost doubt that he hurt his mind." β
Better looking? Ah Nian also felt very inexplicable.
"I wondered before, Zixu Dao is not ugly, why does he suddenly want to be good-looking?" Li Yingge stared at Ah Nian tightly, "But then I knew!"
"What?" Li Yingge meant that it was clearly related to her. Ah Nian suddenly remembered that he had scolded him when he was angry with him. Was it because of her words that he ran to ask the master? Is he really stupid or really crazy?
Ah Nian pondered for a while, Li Yingge suddenly hugged the mirror again, and the mirror looked at Ah Nian, "Come, take a look!"
Ah Nian looked into the mirror and was stunned for a moment, "Who is this?"
"You!"
"Me?"
Ah Nian tentatively raised her hand and touched her face, and the movements of the person in the mirror were the same as hers......
"How did I become like this?" Ah Nian became even more terrified after confirming that the person in the mirror was indeed him.
"You've become pretty, very pretty. Li Yingge praised again and again, "You were not as good as me and Ah Qi before, but now you are more beautiful than us!"
Li Yinyue didn't speak, but her eyes also agreed with Li Yingge's meaning.
Ah Nian was still staring at herself in the mirror, she knew that what Li Yingge said was not a compliment, she had indeed become very beautiful, so beautiful that she felt that it was someone else and not herself......
