Chapter 8: The Bright Moon Branches

Jiuyou was frightened, and subconsciously poked the Netherworld Book with her index finger, and the Netherworld Book sent her back to Yinghua Temple.

Because of this accident, Jiuyou didn't have the slightest confusion when he just woke up. She floated to Shen Yuan's room, and the bed was empty. Then I went to the room of the industry, and the industry fell asleep and snored like thunder.

She came to the bedside and heard him talking in his sleep. One moment it's "Don't catch me, I just want others to give me a magic weapon", and the next moment it's "Pig's trotters are delicious".

Jiuyou saw him appear by the Jasper Lake, and when he contacted her situation after waking up, he guessed that he might be imitating himself and exchanging magic weapons by throwing himself into the lake.

But he doesn't seem to know how to swim at all, otherwise he wouldn't need to do mental construction; He hasn't ventilated the news yet, and the situation is not the same as Jiuyou's.

"Children, Dong Shi Xiaofeng has never had good results."

Before leaving, Jiuyou persuaded bitterly.

***

"You're here."

When Shen Yuan turned around, what he saw was Jiuyou floating in mid-air, with his small hand sandwiched in the Underworld Book.

Seeing him looking at his hand, Jiuyou hurriedly took it out, "Ah this, just in case, haha." ”

Shen Yuan's eyes showed appreciation. After the "Great Transformation of the Living Person" just now, Shen Yuan probably knew the role of the Hades Book. After this, it is good to be vigilant at all times.

"How did you know I was here?" Jiuyou was curious about why Shen Yuan found here.

Shen Yuan pressed a handful of bangs that Jiuyou had raised high: "Because I heard you say something strange." ”

Jiuyou thought of what he said when he stopped Ye Yan from jumping into the lake, and he knew it.

Kuo Fan was still reluctant to go to the Jasper Lake, Jiuyou could only ask Shen Yuan, and solemnly reminded him, "If I want to jump down again, you must hold me." ”

Shen Yuan was puzzled: "You mean, it turns out that you were not pushed down, but jumped by yourself." ”

"It seems that this is true, but the internal reasons are complex, and I only have some guesses, which need to be verified now."

Shen Yuan still didn't understand what the logical order was: "Jump down, what's the picture?" ”

Jiuyou patiently explained: "It just so happened that no one came to pick me up, it just happened that I was alone by the lake, and it happened that Su Youjun was distracted by something else, and I just happened to fall into the water...... Don't you wonder why there are so many just right? ”

"And now, with you and me, how do you verify your guess?"

"The first step, of course, is to verify that I can still jump."

Jiuyou looked at the lake, and the water was as calm as it was for the most part, with no strange ripples.

"I don't mean to jump."

"Strictly speaking, it's not you who controls your position right now, it's me."

"That makes sense, then you can put me by the lake."

After Shen Yuan did so, Jiu You stroked smoothly. The stagnant water was stirred, the water rippled away, and after a moment it returned to normal.

Jiuyou withdrew his hand, and was about to ask Shen Yuan to try it too, but suddenly his body was out of control, and he was about to fall into the lake again with his hands in the water.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan kept staring at her, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately grabbed one of her hands that was still exposed, and at the same time cast a spell to calm the water.

Shen Yuan was originally the elf who held the water, and Hu Shui also listened to his words, and took the initiative to hold Jiuyou up, so that Shen Yuan could save her smoothly.

Jiuyou crawled away for a distance in shock, "Shen Yuan, it's good that you're here, otherwise I'll go down again." ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Yuan grabbed Jiuyou's arm, and seeing that she didn't look like she was injured except for her sleeves being wet, he relaxed and returned to the lake.

Jiuyou thought about it, there was Shen Yuan, in fact, she didn't need to be afraid at all. If she has been so afraid of falling into the water, how can she find out the cause of falling into the water?

"Shen Yuan?" Jiuyou called him behind his back.

Shen Yuan turned around and listened to Jiuyou's suggestion, "I still think there may be something strange at the bottom of the lake. I think you must have a way to get the two of us into the water safely and explore the bottom of the lake, right? ”

"Yes. I came from the Styx, and I used to go freely. ”

"Great! In that caseβ€”"

Jiuyou stretched out his arms, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Hug!" ”

Shen Yuan smiled lightly to meet her request, came to the lake, and after casting the spell, the two disappeared into the water.

***

I don't know what kind of spell Shen Yuan cast, Jiuyou didn't feel the coldness of the lake until he reached the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake was not as full of silt as she had imagined, and there was a gentle path to follow.

After walking along the only path for a while, the two found nothing out of the ordinary. Jiuyou asked Shen Yuan, "When I was rescued by you, was there anything abnormal around?" Whether it's a person or a thing? ”

Shen Yuan replied: "There is indeed a strange thing. After Master and Brother rescued you, they said, 'Starfall is not a good sign.' ”

"Starfall? Meteor? ”

Jiuyou was stunned. Isn't a meteor just a meteorite, and how big is the meteorite, can she not know? If Jasper Lake had been hit by a meteor, it would have long since ceased to exist, right? How can there be no trace at all?

Hasn't the underworld been calm for many years since the civil war, and if it was suddenly blown up by a meteorite falling from the sky, it wouldn't be so calm, as if nothing had happened, right?

She frowned, bit her lip, and asked another question, "Did that sorrowful gentleman say that he was dragged by something?" ”

"I asked Master this question. The master said that at that time, Su Youjun saw an old man who was in his heart, and immediately chased after him. After knowing that this was the reason, Master forgave him and was very emotional. ”

"It sounds like a lover who has been separated from Su Weijun for a long time, and suddenly at this moment, he reappears......"

All kinds of phenomena show that all questions should be answered only after knowing who Su Yujun's lover is.

Jiuyou boldly guessed that this mysterious and disappeared lover would be the reason why Su Youjun looked crazy?

She was about to tell Shen Yuan her guess, but when she saw Shen Yuan, who was releasing spiritual power illumination from her palm, she suddenly reminded her, "There is something ahead." ”

Jiuyou was placed next to the "thing" by Shen Yuan, and she couldn't help but reach out and poke it.

It was a baby with her eyes closed, and in such an environment, her body was actually warm, indicating that she was living a good life.

It seems that it should be a newly born water spirit. The aquatic plants wrapped around her, and she clenched her little fists, as if to show her extraordinary fate.

Jiuyou hesitated to take her back to Wangyoushan. Elves can naturally grow up by absorbing spiritual power, unlike human cubs. The jasper lake also leads directly to the spiritual veins of the underworld, and the spiritual power is abundant. Even if Jiuyou doesn't care about her, she can grow up healthily.

But at this moment, the elf's body loomed, and soon, her body went from translucent to completely transparentβ€”that is, vanished.

Jiuyou was shocked and hurriedly asked Shen Yuan to take him away.

If you stay in the water for a long time, it will disappear, and you have to do it?

Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan.

After Shen Yuan took her out of the lake, he dried the clothes of the two with his spiritual power, and comforted her, "It's a good thing to know that you're afraid." If you can't find the reason, you still don't want to come here alone in the future, if you don't get rid of the danger, it will eventually be a hidden danger. ”

Jiuyou lay down abruptly, looked at the "sky" covered by dark clouds in the underworld, and sighed, "Okay, third senior brother." Got to know the third senior brother. ”

Shen Yuan shook his head and sat down beside her. This little junior sister will also call him senior brother when he is not serious, and at other times, he will call him by his name.

"Shen Yuan, has anyone ever told you that your name is not good."

Shen Yuan didn't hear Jiuyou come to such a sentence, and thought that she had just learned the art of mind reading, and was about to explain that the name had no choice, so he heard her whisper, "It's easy to live with a cheap name, why don't you give you a cheesy nickname?" ”

Shen Yuan didn't say anything, and waited for the little junior sister to "give a name".

"Let me think about ......" Jiuyou recalled the poems he had learned, and the sentences that fit the current situation are, isn't it, "The bright moon is not a branch and a magpie, and the breeze is chirping cicadas in the middle of the night." Then I'll call youβ€”"

Shen Yuan smiled and waited for her to call herself a magpie, or a cicada, but he didn't want to, and when he heard her voice change, he said, "Xiao Ming!" ”

If it was Ye Yan or Blazing Yang here, it was estimated that they would be able to go on the spot and protest.

It's a casual name, isn't it?

But Jiuyou was faced with the abyss that was not alarmed, and for the nickname that did not meet expectations, he just nodded, and there was no follow-up.

After all, he didn't have much reaction to the fact that he was given a name by his little junior sister, which was already very unreasonable.

"I'm such a genius! I can actually think of a nickname that is so close to your temperament! ”

"Oh?" Shen Yuan asked rhetorically, "What kind of temperament do I have?" ”

Jiuyou praised Shen Yuan with all kinds of gorgeous words: "Graceful, magnificent, and ...... Yushu in the wind"

Shen Yuan bowed his head without surprise and flicked the grass on the ground.

"......" Jiuyou misunderstood what Shen Yuan meant, patted his arm and said, "It's okay, everyone will grow up." ”

Speaking of this, she thought of Shen Yuan's fate.

She has always avoided thinking about this problem by herself, which is an ostrich mentality, and does not want to let herself be overly anxious, resulting in restraint and blockage of thinking.

But she really had to do something, like make some plans.

She looked over Shen Yuan's head, as if she saw a countdown clock hanging above him. The hands ticked and ticked, without stopping for a moment.

"Everyone will live a long life until they become immortals." Jiuyou touched Shen Yuan's face, and the feeling was still the same as when they first met.

"I know your life, and you will all live well. I mean, no matter what, I'm going to help you get rid of the bad things, so don't be too anxious and think I'm a burden, and wait until I grow up and get stronger, and then make a decision, how about it? Is it okay to agree, Xiao Ming? ”

When Shen Yuan listened to the first half of what she said, he was already serious. When I heard her say that she was a burden, I suddenly felt sad.

"How can you be a burden? You were saved by me, and I will keep you safe. ”

"So that's what you said to Little Butterfly?"

"What?"

Jiuyou pointed to the butterfly hairpin above his head.

Shen Yuan reacted and said helplessly, "It's just a little demon on one side." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiuyou nodded, "The 'fate' that is wonderful, I understand." ”

Shen Yuan didn't want to explain more, but just lay on the grass.

When he said this, Jiuyou suddenly thought that if he followed the emotional line in the book, Shen Yuan would die. So, if one day, she can only keep one of Shen Yuan's life and Shen Yuan's love, when the time comes, how should she choose?
