Chapter Eighty-Five: Overjoyed and True
Xue Ning hurriedly walked forward with Zijin in her arms, and saw that if she turned another corner, she could come to the back garden in her memory, but unfortunately, because there were chasing soldiers fighting along the way, coupled with the bumps of running, the little brother suddenly woke up at this time, and he who had just woken up, because of his physical discomfort, he opened his mouth wide and cried.
This sudden cry surprised Xue Ning, and even more so that the chasing soldiers nearby followed, a large number of people with torches, chased over, these pursuers were menacing, they ran and shouted, "This way, this way, don't let anyone go." ”
In order to stop Zijin from crying and not expose his whereabouts to the enemy, in a hurry, Xue Ning had to cover Zijin's mouth with one hand, but Rao was like this, and there was still a subtle cry coming out, although the sound was not loud, it was enough for those pursuers to follow the sound to find it.
Xue Ning hugged Zijin, inconvenient, ran for a long time, tired and out of breath, plus only one hand was used to hold Zijin at the moment, the physical strength was a little unbearable, seeing, the pursuers were getting closer and closer, hiding behind a rockery, Xue Ning, who had a little rest, didn't have time to think about it, so he ran towards the lake not far ahead.
She really had no way to escape, seeing that the pursuers were surrounding her from all directions, and they were about to surround her and Zijin and fight for each other, at this moment, it was really difficult for Xue Ning to fight against these pursuers on her own.
In order to survive, Xue Ning didn't have time to hesitate, so she plunged into the lake with her little brother, and the moment she jumped into the lake, there was a biting cold surrounding her, followed by the little brother choking on the lake, so he drank a few sips of water in a row.
Xue Ning, who stabilized her body in the water, hurriedly cast a spell to surround herself and the little brother with a water ball, helpless, she was not good at learning, tried a few times, but could not succeed, seeing that the little brother was about to be choked to death in the water, suddenly, she had an idea, remembering the transformation technique that the fox demon mother had handed over to her.
In order to save Zijin's life, she categorically couldn't surface at this time, because Xue Ning heard that there were countless people patrolling the water, searching for her and the traces of Little Brother.
Seeing the little brother struggling in the water, Xue Ning couldn't bear it, in order to save this poor child, she was not good at learning, so she could only rashly try to use the transformation technique taught to her by her mother.
She held her breath, mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, and then chanted words in her mouth, infused the spiritual power into her fingertips, and transmitted it to Zijin, who had passed out in a coma.
After the spiritual power transmitted by Xue Ning was quickly transported into Zijin's body, he saw a bright light flash on the surface of the lake, and Zijin quickly came back to life, but then he twisted his body, and turned into a red carp, swimming freely in the water.
Xue Ning couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when she saw Zijin smoothly transform into a fish, she swam around, leaning on the small fish, and carefully observing it.
The red carp in front of him was more than a foot long, with a long and beautiful tail, a body of red scales, as magnificent and gorgeous as a flame, its pair of eyes were black and bright, vigilantly looking in all directions, when it noticed the sound of arrows coming from the lake, it couldn't help but twist its long tail, and quickly swam towards the depths of the lake.
Xue Ning looked at her masterpiece in surprise, and followed closely behind the red carp, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
To make sure Zijin was okay, she swam ahead, approached Zijin, and gently called his name.
"Zijin, I'm Sister Xue Ning, now that you're safe, don't worry. ”
The little fish who heard Xue Ning's voice just swirled in the water, looked back at Xue Ning seriously, was indifferent, and swam straight forward.
Xue Ning, who saw this scene, was a little shocked, because she had just stared at the eyes of the red carp, and with her spirit fox's unique night vision skills, she found that although the eyes of the small fish were dark and bright, when she looked at people, she was indifferent and unfamiliar.
Oh no, could it be that something went wrong? Why didn't it answer my words, why did it look indifferent when it saw me?
Xue Ning had a lot of questions, and wanted to stop and ask Xiao Yu'er about it, but in order to escape, she had to race against time to take Xiao Yu'er to the river at the end of the lake in the distance.
Halfway, Xue Ning quietly surfaced from the water several times in order to ventilate and check the enemy's situation, and when she saw that there were no torches held by the pursuers behind her, and the noisy pursuit sound could no longer be heard in her ears, the tight strings in her heart relaxed.
In the river of the dark night, Xue Ning took Zijin, a changed little fish, to swim, just swimming, and a behemoth suddenly came out of the small fish, the monster was four or five times the size of the small fish, with a bloody mouth, revealing a mouth full of fine teeth, and biting straight towards the red carp.
The little red carp that Zijin transformed into sensed the danger and swam forward desperately, but Rao was like this, and he couldn't get rid of the big guy's interception.
Xue Ning, who was leading the way in front, suddenly turned around, and saw the behemoth, and was about to pounce on Xiao Yu's son, he was taken aback, in order to save Xiao Yu'er, in a hurry, Xue Ning didn't have time to turn around, so he jumped in front of Xiao Carp with his body, blocking the monster's big mouth swallowing Xiao Yu'er.
With both hands, she firmly supported the upper and lower lips of the big fish, preventing its giant teeth from biting down and hurting the small fish and herself.
But the big fish was hungry, and when it saw its prey about to reach its mouth, it refused to let go of such an opportunity, and it swung its body desperately to make a huge splash in the river, and at the same time it drank the rushing river water with its mouth, trying to wash the prey stuck in its mouth into its stomach.
In order to get out of the mouth of the big fish smoothly, she replaced her hand with her foot, supporting the monster's mouth, and then suddenly took out the phoenix hairpin that the queen mother wore before her death, and stabbed it towards the position of the strange fish's eyes.
The monster was blinded by Xue Ning's lightning speed, and the pain was unbearable, and it jumped wildly on the water.
Xue Ning was afraid of hurting Zijin, so she hurriedly called out to Zijin, "Xiao Yu'er, get out of the way and swim forward! Don't stop!" Xiao Yu'er heard Xue Ning's order, and in order to save her life, she swam forward desperately.
Xue Ning and the blind strange fish fought in the water for a while, the fish was pierced by Xue Ning, and finally had no physical strength to do evil again, so he hurriedly ran for his life, Xue Ning didn't dare to fight, so he let go of the monster that bred in the river.
Defeated the strange fish, Xue Ning hurriedly looked around for the trace of the little fish, but she swam around in the water, looking everywhere, and couldn't find the figure of the little fish's son, probably the strange fish just now frightened the little fish, so that the little fish fled forward in a panic, lost her way, and couldn't find its trace.
The huge river, the turbulent river, and the dim light in the river, Xue Ning, who couldn't find Xiaoyu's son, almost cried in a hurry.
She was afraid that she would lose the little fish, and she was even more afraid that there were other unknown monsters hidden in the river, which would pounce on them at any time and eat them in one bite.
The anxious and helpless Xue Ning swam forward in the water for a long time, looking for a long time, but could not find any trace of the little fish, so anxious that he couldn't help crying in the river.
Her cry alarmed a pair of looking figures in the distance, and the figure ran towards Xue Ning in surprise while calling Xue Ning's name.
It was Sister Ziyan and Zimo, the two of them were safe and sound, led away the pursuers, and came to find her and Zijin.
Thinking of this, Xue Ning, who was full of tears, was so excited that she raised her arms in the water and shouted, "Sister Ziyan, Brother Zimo, I'm here." ”
Ziyan and Zimo, who heard the response, quickly came, and when the two of them saw Xue Ning alone, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is the little brother?"
Hearing the inquiry, Xue Ning, who was blaming herself and scared in her heart, couldn't help crying, "Sister, it's me who is useless, I accidentally lost him just now." ”
"Lost, let's go into the water to find it. "Thinking that the little brother is still young and not accustomed to water, falling into the water, after a long time, he will inevitably have many dreams at night, and there will be accidents. Ziyan urged anxiously.
Before they had time to take off their clothes, Ziyan and Zimo both plunged into the water and looked around in the water.
Suddenly, Purple Smoke heard a strange sobbing sound not far in front of her in the water, which seemed to be a cry for help, and it was like the faint cry of a frightened child. Hearing the sound of Ziyan, he quickly beckoned everyone to swim over, and soon, Xue Ning and Zi Mo, under the leadership of Ziyan, passed through the sparse aquatic plants and came to a backwater bay, where Xue Ning was pleasantly surprised to see that the little brother who had turned into a small carp was deep in the package of aquatic plants, constantly struggling and crying.
Seeing this, Xue Ning hurriedly swam over, separated the aquatic plants wrapped around the little carp, and hugged it into her arms.
The three of them took the little carp to a safe place to meet, and then stopped, Xue Ning deliberately put it into an independent small pond in order to ensure the safety of the little carp, and then went ashore, she looked at the little carp in the water and explained to Sister Ziyan and Brother Zimo, "Sister Ziyan, Brother Zimo, my spell is low, last night when I was chased by the pursuers, during the escape, I hurriedly cast a spell and turned the little brother into a carp, but just now I tried to unravel this spell, but found that I could not restore him to a human at all by relying on my own spiritual power, Sister Ziyan, Brother Zimo, you two help me quickly take a look, what is wrong?" Xue Ning asked uneasily.
"Oh, I see, let me try it. Hearing Xue Ning say this, Ziyan hurriedly came to the side of the small pond with confidence, condensed the spiritual power of many years of cultivation in his fingers, and recited words in his mouth, "...... However, when Ziyan poured all her spiritual power into trying to restore the little brother, she found that the red carp in the water still retained the appearance of a fish.
"No, there must have been an accident, and I can't restore it with all my strength. Ziyan sighed and said.
"Let's try it out with the three of us. Zi Mo hurried over and called on the three of them to work together to complete this matter, although the three of them are all low-level spirit foxes, and their spiritual power is not high, but the spiritual power of the three people together, it should be more than enough to complete this kind of transformation spell.
However, when the three of them gathered their spiritual power and cast it on the little carp, the miracle did not appear.
Looking at the helpless and lonely little carp in the water, Xue Ning was very anxious, she couldn't help but blame herself, "It's all my fault, last night the ghost didn't know what spell he used to break the spell to transform the little brother into such a shape, but he couldn't solve the spell, hey, if he has always been like a fish, how should we get on the road"
"What's so so difficult about this? I'll go to the bazaar and buy a bigger water jar, and put him in it and keep him with me, for we can't leave him young and helpless in the wilderness and ignore him." Zimo said reasonably.
"Well, it seems that this is the only way to make a decision, but it is very inconvenient to carry a water jar along the way, but there is no better way to choose. Ziyan reluctantly agreed.
Ziyan and Zimo made up their minds, so they decided to set off immediately and go to the market to find a suitable water altar to hold the little fish, afraid that the little brother would encounter danger in the waterhole alone, and when the two left, they told Xue Ning, "Sister Xue Ning, you are here with the little brother, we will go back when we go, if you meet someone here, remember to hide first." ”
Xue Ning nodded in agreement, and watched her sister and Brother Zimo walk into the distance.
Since the two left, the lonely and bored Xue Ning thought that because of her own mistakes, she had turned the little brother into a little carp, and she couldn't come back, and she felt very guilty, so she came to the pond and talked to the little carp.
"Zijin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my bad that turned you into a little fish. ”
"Zijin, are you talking to me?" The little fish swimming in the pond heard Xue Ning's words, swam over gently, poked his head out of the water, and asked.
"Yes, you can actually speak, Zijin, you are the little brother, have you forgotten who you are?" Hearing that Xiao Yu'er could speak, Xue Ning didn't mention how happy she was, but when she heard him question what her name was, Xue Ning was confused again, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"I'm Little Brother, what is Little Brother?Who am I?Where am I?" The little Brother in the pond suddenly became stupid and asked Xue Ning a series of questions. These questions startled Xue Ning, she was so frightened that she hurriedly squatted down, reached into the pond with her hand, touched the little fish in the pond, and said to herself in surprise, "Strange, the little fish has a normal body temperature, could it be that he had a fever yesterday and burned his head? If the little brother becomes a fool, what should I do? If I meet the third elder brother, I and Sister Ziyan and Brother Zimo, how should I explain it? Hey, it was in vain that the queen mother had a good heart towards me, I didn't expect that I would do such a stupid thing." ”
Thinking of the third elder brother's life-saving affection in the past and the kindness of the queen mother to take him in and treat her, and thinking of the joyful scene of the little elder brother getting along with him, Xue Ning's mood at the moment was extremely sad.
She really can't accept that a lively child, a child who talks and laughs, has become such a stupid appearance.
However, for now, the tragedy has been cast, the palace has been slaughtered by gangsters, the queen mother died tragically, the third elder brother does not know what happened, right now, he is the closest and most reliable relative of the little elder brother, although Xue Ning is sad, but she also has to strengthen her belief that one day she can cure the third elder brother and let him transform into a human again.
Thinking of this, she straightened up, touched the tears on her cheeks, and said to the little fish in the water, "Little brother, don't worry, Xue Ning will definitely not leave you alone, Sister Ziyan and Brother Zimo are about to go to a distant place to learn art, if we find the master, we must ask him to help you untie the spell on your body and let you change back to your original form." Xue Ning lowered her head, and before she finished speaking, suddenly, she felt a flash of golden light in front of her, and the fish in the pond suddenly disappeared, replaced by a familiar little brother standing by the pond.
"Sister Xue Ning, I've changed back. The little brother in front of him was so surprised that he recognized Sister Xue Ning, so he stretched out his arms in surprise and pounced on Xue Ning.
"Zijin, is that you? Xue Ning heard the familiar voice of the little brother calling her, she was very excited, and hurriedly greeted the little brother, holding the little brother tightly in her arms, and the tears of joy couldn't help but flow down again.
"Zijin, you scared me to death, I thought you would never be able to change back, forever to be a fool fish, now it's okay, you finally changed back by yourself, and you still keep your memory, it's really good. ”
