314 Cave of Fire and Ice
Faced with Bai Ling's series of questions, Meng Xiuyuan was unable to give an answer for a while.
Since he awakened Su Hui in this fairy sword world, it has only been two days, and the rapid change in the general environment has brought too many differences, so that he is still a little unable to adapt to it.
The problem of larks seems to be a contradiction between birds and people, but if you think about it carefully, it is far more than that.
When the surrounding insects, birds, beasts, grass and trees can give birth to spiritual intelligence, and turn into a demon clan with the same emotional cognition as people, the relationship between man and nature and all things has become an extremely complex problem.
Meng Xiuyuan's intelligence is limited, and in a hurry, it is difficult to completely sort out the key points.
Fortunately, Bailing's mind is simple, and sorrow comes and goes quickly. After Meng Xiuyuan accompanied her to bury the nest of several young birds together, she gradually came out of this negative emotion.
The loneliness brought about by being alone in this mountain for a hundred years made Bailing cherish Meng Xiuyuan's appearance very much.
Before dark, like a child taking her classmates home to play, she took the initiative to lead Meng Xiuyuan to see the beautiful scenery in the forest, and took out some of the worn-out toys that she cherished most on weekdays and were made by Mr. Bai more than a hundred years ago to share them with Meng Xiuyuan.
And when the night deepened, she turned into an enthusiastic host, carefully placed Meng Xiuyuan in the tree house for the night, and took out many rare and exotic fruits picked from the forest as a hospitality.
Meng Xiuyuan took pity on what happened to this little girl, and was moved by her innocent character, so he simply did not refuse her kindness and played with Bailing.
With the experience of being a junior uncle on Wudang Mountain in his early years, Meng Xiuyuan knows very well how to deal with such a teenager and girl who lacks an entertainment life.
Backgammon, spinning tops, stilts, cards, rattan balls, a little rough gadget made by Meng Xiuyuan casually caused Bailing to shout and indulge in it.
Throughout the night, Bai Ling's crisp laughter never stopped in the mountains and forests, and it was not until the sun rose that she was exhausted, and she and Meng Xiuyuan lay down to rest in the flower field under the tree house.
The mountain breeze caressed and blew away the fine sweat on his sideburns, Bai Ling looked at the blue white clouds above his head for a long time, suddenly turned sideways, and said slowly towards Meng Xiuyuan:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, can you stay, don't go.
Since the death of my eldest brother, I have lived in this Emei Mountain for a hundred years, but there is no day like last night.
I'm afraid that after you leave, I will be alone again, living alone in this forest for a hundred or a thousand years......"
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Bai Ling's eyes slightly hanging to the ground, as if he was afraid to look at him because of this excessive request, and he seemed to be a little nervous for fear of rejection, and he looked very pitiful.
However, no matter how much Meng Xiuyuan sympathized with this little girl, it was impossible to agree to her request, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so he simply said calmly:
"Bailing, I still have something to do, and I can't stay here for long.
But when I have time in the future, I will go back to visit you in this Emei Mountain. ”
Bai Ling was very disappointed at first when he heard this, but he didn't stay long but seemed to think of something good, suddenly got up from between the flowers and plants, and smiled at Meng Xiuyuan and said:
"Okay, then let's make a decision, you are not allowed to cheat.
After a few years, you're done and you've grown up, so you have to come back to see me.
When the time comes, the two of us will get married, and you will accompany me in this mountain forest......"
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle out loud when he heard this, he didn't take Bai Ling's childish words seriously, but asked her very curiously:
"Bailing, who taught you this so-called 'marriage' thing. Is that Mr. White?
Do you know what it means to be married? ”
Although Bai Ling is innocent, he is also clever, seeing Meng Xiuyuan's attitude, he immediately said angrily:
"I naturally understand what's so difficult about this, to look down on people less.
Brother Bai told me that getting married is two people who like each other, and they will be together forever.
I was too young to marry anyone.
Now, a hundred years later, I've grown up. You are a human race to grow fast, and in a few years, you will also grow up.
The two of us have so much fun, if we become relatives again, we can live happily together in this mountain forest......"
Speaking of this, Bai Ling looked at Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes changed slightly, and his voice became more serious:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, do you know, it's not easy to meet a person like you.
You're a nice guy and a fun guy and you're a pleasure to be with.
What's even more rare is that I have secretly examined that there is a very powerful life force in your body, stronger than all the demons I have ever seen.
You will definitely be able to live a long, long time, and stay with me for a long, long time, just like Big Brother Bai said, forever and ever......"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head lightly when he heard this, and the original smile on his face couldn't help but restrain a little. Although Bai Ling's words were very immature, they were still moving.
It's hard to imagine what kind of loneliness this little girl has endured in the past hundred years, so that she is so eager for the company of a person.
However, when Bai Ling saw Meng Xiuyuan's expression, he was a little misunderstood, and only felt that Meng Xiuyuan was rejecting her, so he immediately continued with a little anxiety:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, you don't always have to pretend to be an adult. I've lived for more than a hundred years, and I know so much more than you do.
Do you think that I am a demon and you are a human, so the two of us can't get married?
That's your mistake, humans and demons can be together.
About seven or eight years ago, there was a couple on this Emei Mountain, the man is a human, the woman is a demon, and they are all very powerful.
I met the banshee by chance, and the relationship was very good, in this Emei Mountain, her husband and wife only trusted me as an outsider, and once let me go to their cave as a guest.
But later, for some reason, the two of them disappeared and never came to look for me again.
But if you do not believe, I will show you that I have not lied......
The faster Bai Ling spoke, as if he wanted to do everything he could to make Meng Xiuyuan believe her words.
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't bear it when he saw this, and immediately interrupted in a warm voice:
"Bailing, I'm sorry, I can't marry you.
But I promise you that in the future, when I am successful, I will find a way to gather your soul and get out of this mountain forest.
When the time comes, you can go wherever you want, and you will never be lonely again......"
In fact, he did not say this to prevaricate and comfort, but really had some plans.
The fusion of the soul of the hundred spirits with this mountain forest can be regarded as a relatively rare situation, and it is relatively difficult to deal with. But there must be a way to save her.
On Xianling Island in the East China Sea, there lives Zhao Ling'er, the daughter of the witch queen. Meng Xiu is far from public and private, and he will definitely have some contact with this Nuwa's descendants in the future, and it will be a casual matter to ask her for a favor at that time.
is also a descendant of Nuwa, Zixuan once divided a person's soul into two, creating two completely different individuals.
Even if Zhao Ling'er is young and her means are not as good as her grandmother's, it should not be too difficult for Bailing to collect some remnant souls from this mountain forest after Nuwa's divine power awakens.
Meng Xiu looked at Bai Ling from afar, and said something earnest. Bai Ling seemed to be moved by him, and was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked in a low voice for a while:
"Xiao Xiuyuan, you just said that you have something to do in a hurry, do you want to learn any skills?
You're so good, why waste your time on these things? ”
Meng Xiu saw Bai Ling change the topic, only to feel that she was explained by herself, and immediately said with a smile:
"There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and my current little skills are naturally not enough.
But don't worry, in a few years, I will find the method of condensing the soul for you. ”
Bai Ling thought for a moment before he looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said seriously:
"In that case, Xiao Xiuyuan, would you like to stay with me for two more days.
I have a gift for you, and you're sure to come in handy! ”
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, and simply responded.
It doesn't matter if Bailing really has something to give him or just wants to keep him for two more days.
It just so happened that Meng Xiuyuan needed some time to sort out the five spirit spells. It is also convenient to meditate in this mountain forest for two days.
……
In this way, Meng Xiuyuan temporarily settled in the tree house.
That Bailing was a man of his word, and he didn't pester Meng Xiuyuan to play with him during this period, but went out before dawn every day, and he didn't know what he was busy preparing for.
Meng Xiuyuan gradually got better because of his cultivation, but he didn't have the heart to ask more, thinking that Bailing had lived in this forest for more than a hundred years, and there would be no danger, so he only occasionally told him not to be too tired, and then immersed himself in his inner world again.
Until a few days later, things changed dramatically.
When Meng Xiuyuan was sitting cross-legged, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and just got up and went out, but saw a big bird that was not lightly injured landing outside the tree house.
As soon as the big bird saw Meng Xiuyuan appear, it immediately spread its wings and flew towards the depths of the mountain forest. Seeing this, Meng Xiu understood that the birds in this forest had a close relationship with Bailing, and that something must be wrong, so he hurriedly chased after him.
The big bird flew extremely fast, bypassing one mountain after another, and soon led Meng Xiuyuan to the depths of Mount Emei. Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan's figure was swift and far beyond ordinary people, so he barely lost it.
Half an hour later, I saw the big bird suddenly hovering in the air three times, and then suddenly accelerated, slamming into a steep and uneven bare mountain wall, as if it wanted to kill itself.
Meng Xiuyuan knew that there must be something strange when things were abnormal, so he hurriedly took a closer look, and saw that the big bird's body was empty, and it actually got into the dense rock wall.
Seeing this scene, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly felt in his heart, only saying what kind of cave should this place be, someone deliberately cast a spell and hid it.
It's just that unexpectedly, when Meng Xiuyuan chased him closer and touched the mountain wall, he only felt that his hand felt firm, which was no different from an ordinary mountain, and it was not a trick.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he had no choice but to imitate the big bird and rush towards the mountain wall.
The next moment, Meng Xiuyuan only felt a flower in front of him, and suddenly found himself in another space, surrounded by rock walls, slightly dark, but there was no trace of the big bird.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan had no choice but to move forward, and immediately walked straight along the tunnel under careful guard.
After a while, when Meng Xiu walked to the end of the tunnel, the front gradually lit up, and his body was immediately shocked. The spectacle in front of him was far beyond his expectations.
As far as the eye can see, it is a large lake with many lotus flowers growing on the lake, but there is a thick snow covering the water surface from time to time.
What's even more unreasonable is that the snow and ice under your feet are heavy, but the air here is very hot and dry, as if you are in the Gobi Desert.
Such a contrast between cold and hot shows that this place is by no means a worldly place.
Just as Meng Xiuyuan was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard a birdsong overhead, and it was the big bird that had led him here just now that flew over again.
If you look closely, you can see that the beak of the bird is holding two twin lotus flowers, one red and one blue, which looks different.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't need to deliberately perceive it, he could perceive that these two lotus flowers contained a very huge amount of spiritual power, far from being comparable to any kind of heaven and earth treasure he had seen in the past.
And more importantly, from the two lotus plants, Meng Xiuyuan could faintly detect the breath of a hundred spirits.
This chapter was written a little unwell, even later, and the word count is small, sorry.
