Chapter 30: The Blood of the Pine
"It's all here! All for you! Thank you for making my wish come true! Nuno handed the golden scales in his hand to Wu Ling
"No, no, it's me who should thank you!" Wu Ling looked at the five golden scales that Nuo Nuo handed over to her, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Alright, take this and save your friend!" Nono smiled softly, and his face looked a few years older, as if she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to be married.
"Thank you." Wu Ling clasped her palms together and held the five golden scales to express her gratitude again.
"But Nuo Nuo......" Xingyao suddenly asked, "How can you go back to the water like this?" ”
"No, I'm just temporarily in human form, I can still transform into a fish again, you guys go ahead! I'm going back to rest. ”
"Well, then you can rest well." Xingyao waved goodbye to Nono.
"Hmm." Nuno also waved his hand, lifted the corner of his skirt and turned into a ray of golden light and fell into the water again, leaving only a golden tail to flap on the surface of the water and disappear.
"Alas...... It's good that a lover is finally married. Xingyao stuck out his tongue, as if he was making a speech.
"Does Xingyao have a lover?"
Hearing Wu Ling ask like this, Xingyao was suddenly stunned, touched his head and smirked, "Where is there any lover!" Wandering between the emperor and the old ghost all day long, where is the time to find a lover! ”
Wu Ling raised her head, looked at Xingyao's clear black eyes, and wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back.
Just because the queen mother said that there are some things that should not be taken care of, whether the other party is a friend or a relative, if others don't want to say it, naturally don't ask.
"Let's go, let's go! Go and ask for a few drops of blood from Cangsong, and our mission will be completed! ”
There was a warm breeze, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional rustle of the wind blowing the leaves.
The pine mentioned by the ghost withered vine turned out to be one of the towering trees that Wu Ling saw when he first came here.
At this time, I saw a huge pine tree standing in front of Wu Ling and Xingyao, gently swaying with the breeze.
A young man dressed in green was lying under a tree, sleeping leisurely, almost becoming one with the tree.
"Shh......h He is Cangsong. Xingyao pointed to the man in green and whispered.
Wu Ling nodded in response, what flowed from this tree-turned boy was a trickle of green wood aura, darker than the color of any tree he had ever seen, and even much thicker than that on the Bamboo Demon Wind Cliff, obviously a high-level wood spirit.
His countenance can be called handsome, his facial features are delicate, perhaps because he was originally a tree, his complexion looks slightly darker than normal, a healthy wheat color, the muscles of his bare arms are well-proportioned and strong, and his hair color looks to be dark green, spread over the ground.
Xingyao raised his foot, walked over quietly as if he were on tiptoe, picked up a sage, and secretly swept it on the tip of Cangsong's nose.
"Hmm......" Cang Song muttered, wrinkled his nose, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly.
Xingyao pursed his lips and quietly turned to the other side, continuing to disturb people's dreams.
"Ahh
A huge sneeze sounded, and the whole earth even trembled for a while before it slowly stopped, Cangsong sat up with his arms in confusion, yawned a little, and looked at the two people in front of him sleepily, shaking his head, I don't know why.
"Brother Cangsong is well!" Seeing that Cang Song had woken up, Xing Yao hurriedly threw away the sage in his hand, and immediately began to greet Cang Song, who was still sleepy-eyed, with a hippie smile.
"Xingyao is good." Cang Song didn't seem to be displeased with Xingyao's impolite behavior, but smiled softly, raised his hand and grabbed Xingyao's soft black hair, and gestured to say hello.
Wu Ling looked at this man who had a smile on his lips since he woke up, and always felt that there was some overlap with Shuo.
In Wu Ling's impression before, Shuo was also so gentle, and his smile never left the man on his face.
"Oh, don't touch me with your rough claws." Xingyao struggled a few times at Cang Song's touch, cried out in displeasure, and looked at him with a frown.
"Hmm...... I call it a root, not a claw. Cang Song looked at his hand, smiled disapprovingly, and asked, "Why are you so disturbing people's dreams?" ”
Xingyao squatted down and sat on the ground, looking at Cang Song with a serious look, Cang Song saw that Xing Yao was so serious, and he smiled a little and listened quietly.
"That's right, this beautiful girl next to me is named Wu Ling, and one of her very important friends is possessed by a black spirit, and her life is in danger. And she's kind to me, and I have to help her. So we came to find the old ghost, but the guy said that he needed the spirit of water, the spirit of the earth, and the spirit of fire to save him, and the spirit of fire was this girl, and the spirit of water was the scale of Nuonuo, and now that he has obtained it, he can do it without a few drops of essence blood on your body, so ...... Give it to me? ”
After a long sentence, Xingyao took a breath, smiled and stretched out a thin white hand to Cang Song, it turned out to be a child begging for candy from his elders, a cheeky rogue fox.
Cang Song glanced at Wu Ling, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't see his thoughts, but his eyes sank secretly, and then he smiled again.
"Okay." Cang Song smiled and narrowed his eyes, and then agreed.
Wu Ling was shocked, she heard it right? Xingyao said earlier that the golden scales are the treasure of the fish essence, and it takes a hundred years for the essence blood of Cangsong to get a drop, how can it be so easy to give it to himself?
I saw him stretch out a hand, and with a slight stroke of his fingertips, he cut through the flesh of his index finger, and a few drops of green blood fell down, and turned into dark green beads when he landed.
Xingyao also picked up the beads as if he didn't believe them, and asked in surprise, "This is for me?" ”
Cang Song smiled and looked at Wu Ling: "I have a fate with this girl, and I will need the girl's help in the future, and I hope that I will not be stingy when I need the girl to help me in the future." ”
"It's nature." Wu Ling leaned over and saluted, and thanked Cang Song again: "Thank you, Son." ”
"Oh, don't be polite, let's take this blood, let's take care of this guy anymore, let him sleep until he grows old!" Xingyao shrugged his nose and grimaced at Cang Song.
Cang Song smiled softly again, waved goodbye to the two, and then tidied up his clothes and fell asleep on the ground, it was really like fainting, and the speed of falling asleep was not ordinarily fast!
On the way back, Xingyao jumped around with a smile all the way, and Wu Ling looked at him and felt happy for no reason.
"Here...... Are they all your friends? ”
"Yes! I was weak since I was a child, and I was sent by my father to the ghost withered vine to recuperate, and for three hundred years, I have provoked chickens and dogs, and the residents of this neighborhood have retreated. ”
Three hundred years, Wu Ling is staggering.
This Xingyao seems to be a naughty one, playing unregulated for three hundred years, and any place will be poisoned by him.
It's no wonder that Nuo Nuo didn't give him a small fish to eat as soon as he opened his mouth, and Xingyao should often throw stones into the water to beg for small fish.
It seems that only the kind of good-natured and quiet tree-like spirit creature like Cangsong can deal with it calmly.
There is also a ghost withered vine, and it can be seen that he also spoils Xingyao very much, but I don't know what conditions Xingyao agreed to in order to save Shuo.
"What is the matter that the ghost withered vine asked for, but it will cause you trouble?"
Wu Ling had been thinking about this matter in her heart before, and the ghost withered vine agreed to treat Shuo because Xingyao agreed to the condition of the ghost withered vine, but their words were vague, and Wu Ling didn't know what was going on and whether it would have an unnecessary impact on Xingyao.
Xingyao smiled, touched his head and said, "There won't be any trouble...... It's just a little quirk of that guy, can't say, can't say, haha! ”
Wu Ling nodded and smiled, and since Xingyao said so, she was relieved.
The people who want to come here are extremely kind, and the laughter is full of their sincere emotions.
On the next way down the mountain, Xingyao's mouth was like a valve that had been opened, and he began to talk to Wu Ling endlessly.
According to Xingyao, the place where they are now is no longer in the world.
It is a place called the Spirit Realm, this place is no different from the human world, except that the people who live here are some natural spiritual creatures, or animals from other worlds have cultivated into elves to live here.
People in the spirit world are usually gentle and lovely, and there are few people who are as naughty as Xingyao.
The change of seasons usually lasts for a long time, and probably a quarter in the spirit world can be converted into a year on earth, so now it's winter outside and summer here.
Wu Ling also learned from Xingyao's mouth that in addition to the human world and the spirit world, there were several different time and space, and there were many places that human beings had not touched, which made Wu Ling very surprised.
The other side of the spiritual realm in his mouth, called the opposite side, is a dark and dark place where there is no sunlight all day long, and there are usually elves who have made mistakes and been banished, as well as some demons.
Wu Ling wondered what the difference was between a demon and a goblin.
Xingyao's explanation is superb, saying that it is recorded in ancient books.
Heaven and earth are vast, all things have spirits, it is rumored that heaven and earth were once divided into nine worlds, where each other is born and restrained, complement each other, the nine worlds are indispensable, and the order is orderly.
The human world and the ghost world, people die and turn into ghosts, and ghosts die and reincarnate people, and life is endless.
The spiritual world and the demon world, all things are born when they meet spirits, and one thought is pure and turbid, which is the same root.
The fairy world and the demon world, the spirit creature soars to the immortal, and the monster is powerful as the demon, and it is incompatible.
The realm of gods and the realm of vanity, forgetting love and abandoning love as gods, resentment and falling into the dust as delusion, and jumping out of reincarnation.
Finally, there is the chaotic realm, chaos opens the sky, the inner system is controlled, the floating dreams are born, and the laughter is intoxicating to the world.
Chaos Realm ...... After Wu Ling heard about this chaotic realm, she felt that something was faintly wrong in her heart, but it was only like a gossamer, just for a moment, and she lost that feeling.
Listening to Xingyao's chatter all the way, he soon returned to the hut where the ghost withered vines.
Before he could enter the door, he heard a loud shout, and a large cloud of black gas seeped out from the crack in the cabin, followed by the hum of iron colliding!
"Oops!" When Xingyao heard the voice, he immediately put away his smile and rushed into the house!
