Chapter 72: Yao Chi is in Trouble (3)
Mu Hongjia went back to Qingqiu Mountain to report, while Hua Rong was responsible for escorting Xie Qian and Mu Chengye to Yaochi.
Sitting in the clouds, looking at the rapidly moving mountains and rivers below, Xie Qian had worry on his face. She didn't know if everyone was already in danger, or if it was just a false alarm.
Mu Chengye's eyes glanced over, and seeing that she was so nervous that she could barely sit still, she shook her head helplessly. He walked up to Xie Qian, pressed her to sit down, and persuaded, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to protect your Sister Luyu when I go back this time." ”
"I know, I know, but I'm just scared." Xie Qian was already incoherent when he spoke. She didn't dare to think about what Yao Chi would encounter, and she couldn't concentrate in her head.
Mu Chengye saw that she seemed to be ready to stand up again, so he could only change the topic and said, "I'm more curious about what this Sister Luyu in your mouth is?" As he spoke, he sat cross-legged beside Xie Qian.
She raised her confused eyes and thought for a while before she spoke: "Sister Luyu is a coriander flower demon, and I was born in coriander, so my name is Xie Qian." ”
He had heard all of this before, so he motioned for her to continue.
Xie Qian followed the train of thought and realized that he didn't actually know about Lu Yu. She has guarded Yaochi for many years, and her true identity is actually a mystery.
Some demons say that she has been cultivating for thousands of years, and some say that she is just very talented, but in fact she has only cultivated for less than a hundred years.
On weekdays, she doesn't smile and hardly interacts with the people in Yaochi. is alone, but he uses his own strength to protect the entire Yao Chi.
There is an enchantment around Yao Chi, which is conjured by her power. The people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. Everyone lives peacefully, and only when they encounter some problems, they will go to him.
Now that I think about it, there was no sign of the destruction of the barrier on the day Mu Ruan entered Yaochi. Then he disappeared silently, as if he had never appeared.
His demon pill is so important, and Lu Yu seems to be unconscious, which is unreasonable.
Mu Chengye just listened casually at first, but he didn't expect to hear something that made him care about later. He frowned and thought about Fang Cai's message, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then he asked, "Have you ever seen Sister Lu Yu recover from her own body?" ”
Xie Qian thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and said, "No." And most of the time, she doesn't look like a youkai, but more like a mortal. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Chengye suddenly became interested.
Xie Qian didn't care about it before, but it happened that he followed Mu Chengye out of Yaochi recently, saw the life outside, and found that these habits were very similar to Lu Yu's daily performance.
She knew all the movements outside the Yao Pond, and every year she would spend half a month going to the mortal world to find something. No one knows why she did this, but she would come back from the mortal world with a relieved smile on her face.
Hearing this, Mu Chengye seemed to understand something. He and Hua Rong glanced at each other, never thinking that there would be an unexpected gain this time.
After a day's flight, several people entered the Kunlun Mountains in the evening. Countless youkai live in caves, and when they see the clouds flying in the sky, they are so frightened that they hide themselves in the depths of the cave.
They landed on the mountain road, looked through the caves one by one, and finally found Qingbi.
Qingbi saw that it was Xie Qian who came back, and immediately greeted her excitedly, grabbed her arm and trembled, "What are you doing when you come back now?" ”
"I know Yaochi has encountered some situations." Xie Qian's voice trembled slightly, "Are you all okay, have you all been kicked out by Sister Luyu?" ”
Now it was Qingbi's turn to be surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Xie Qian didn't know how to explain it, but now that he saw that the situation was consistent with the puppet's narrative, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. She winked at Mu Chengye, and then the three of them went to Yaochi exquisitely.
The barrier here is much harder than the previous one, but there are still a lot of scratches on it. Xie Qian knew that he should not be able to break it, so he simply bit his finger and pressed it on the enchantment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her fingers got closer, her entire body was wrapped in a puff of black smoke, and then the whole person was sucked into it!
"Coriander!"
Mu Chengye shouted and reached out to pull Xie Qian, but she was sucked in too quickly. His fingers brushed over her arm, and he watched as she entered the barrier.
He hurriedly gathered his strength to attack the barrier, but to no avail.
"Don't look, come and help!" Mu Chengye turned his head to look at Hua Rong and said with a frown.
Hua Rong didn't move, but sighed helplessly: "Fifth son, I think you must have understood, this time I'm afraid it was Senior Lu Yu who deliberately let Miss Xie come back." That puppet was obviously made by Lu Yu's predecessors. ”
"That demon pill belongs to our fox clan, why can't I go in?" Mu Chengye said this, and his hand slammed the enchantment. Obviously, he could have followed in, but only the butterfly was allowed in. Mu Chengye was unwilling, but to no avail.
Hua Rong raised his eyelids to look at Mu Chengye, and said expressionlessly: "Providence is like this, the fifth prince doesn't have to be angry." ”
That's right, it's just that the strength of the butterfly demon is so weak, it will definitely make the demon pill fall into the hands of the bad guys. When the time comes, a big battle between heaven and earth will not be avoided.
And Xie Qian, who was sucked into the Yao Pond, didn't know what was going on outside, just looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze. It's completely different from before, it's full of withered plants, and there's no life at all.
The water of Yao Pond flowed quietly, glowing with a dim light.
Xie Qian was inexplicably flustered, clenched her fists and shouted tentatively: "Sister Luyu." ”
There was an echo in the empty Yao Pond, and everything seemed so weird. She stopped in fear and looked around with her eyes wide open, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, she would be attacked by something.
Suddenly, a cyan figure slowly fell from the sky, with a hint of tiredness in its delicate face. Lu Yu is still extremely beautiful, but it has been reduced a lot, and her clothes are hanging on her body and fluttering in the wind.
"Sister Luyu, what's wrong with you?" Xie Qian asked nervously and took two steps forward.
Lu Yu didn't move, stood in place and stared at Xie Qian for a while, and then said slowly: "In this way, you should know about swallowing the spirit by mistake, right?" ”
"Got it......" Xie Qian lowered her head in frustration, "and I also know that the person was deliberately put in by my sister." ”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and sighed, and then said: "Listening to your words, I think I have already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight." I'm not actually a coriander flower demon, these coriander flowers are just my tricks. Now the power is declining, so it is withering. ”
The speculation was confirmed, and Xie Qian's breath became short. She gritted her teeth, and finally couldn't help but say, "So, the mortal woman Mu Ruan likes is you?" ”
