Chapter 6 Stopping the Floods
Yaohuan stretched out her hand to take it and said, "Thank you." You go out first. ”
"Well, if the high priest commands me, call me, I will be outside the door. ”
Yaohuan replied, "Okay." ”
Yaohuan picked up the bowl, ate two mouthfuls of porridge, and put the bowl down.
She tried, but the spiritual power in her body was less than one percent, and she was afraid that it would take a long time to recover as before, and it seemed that she couldn't do anything in the near future, and of course she couldn't return to the god realm.
She was a little frustrated, there was really nothing abnormal under the water, so what was the problem? Is the reason for the flood just because of the overflow of the Heavenly River in the Divine Realm?
She rolled over, put on her silk shoes, straightened her clothes, opened the door and walked out.
Before I knew it, I walked near the pavilion, and when I stopped in front of the swing, someone next to the pavilion said, "Are you awake?"
Yaowan followed the voice to the corner of the pavilion, looked at Xuan Xuan who was sitting on the steps and asked, "It's so late, why don't you rest?"
Xuan Ying stood up and saluted solemnly to Yaohuan: "I originally planned to say these words that day, but you fainted that day, and you couldn't hear what I said." The Baili clan has been affected by natural disasters for nearly ten years, and this time you have cured the flood, and you are the benefactor of my Baili clan, and I thank you on their behalf. ”
Yao Yao hurriedly said: "You don't have to be so polite, I just did my duty." ”
Xuan Xuan said again: "It may be nothing to you, but what you saved is the life of the entire Baili clan, and you should thank you, what do you like?"
Yaowan didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked, "Huh?"
Xuan Xuan seemed to be talking to himself: "I forgot, you are an immortal, what you want, the Baili clan does not seem to have it." ”
Seeing the distress on his face, Yaohuan smiled and said, "If you can't think of it, think about it slowly in the future, anyway, I will have to stay in the mortal realm for a long time." ”
Xuan Xuan couldn't think of any good ideas, so he had to respond.
Yaojuan returned to the original topic: "What are you doing here?"
Xuan Xuan said dejectedly: "My father's illness is serious again, and Bai Li's doctors are helpless. ”
The immortals in the divine realm rarely get sick and die, and Yaohuan has not yet tasted the pain of separation from her relatives, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a word that could comfort Xuanxuan, so she had to be silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xuan Xuan continued: "Will you immortals have troubles?"
Yaojuan nodded: "Everyone has troubles, and immortals are no exception. "Even immortals can encounter things that can't be solved by magic.
Xuan Xuan was quite touched: "If I can choose again, as long as I can be an ordinary person, I don't have to bear so many responsibilities on my shoulders." ”
"You don't want to be this prince?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to think for a moment, my father gave up his beloved woman for the throne, I don't want to be like him, and I don't start to regret it when I lose everything. ”
Yaohuan said: "The immortals of our god realm, before they become adults, they don't need to think about anything, even if there is a war, the elders of the clan will do their best to let them grow up safely, because as long as they live, the god clan still has hope." Parents in the mortal realm should be like this, when they are in danger, even if they fight for their lives, they will try their best to protect their children. ”
Xuan Ying chewed on these words, and a long-lost image seemed to appear in his mind: the young woman hid her child under the carriage, and then was killed, and then she fell beside the child, and with the last bit of strength, covered the cover that hid the child with her wide sleeves.
Seeing that Xuan Xuan's expression was a little strange, Yao Wan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xuan Xuan was silent for a long time before he asked, "What about you, are all the other immortals the same as you?"
Yaohuan replied: "The gods have their own personalities, have their own favorite things, and want to do what they like to do. However, I may be a little more unlucky than all of them, since ancient times, there have been no women in the Jinwu tribe, but if there is, they are all born and died in response to the catastrophe. My master often said that how much strength there is in the body, how much responsibility must be borne, this is the fate of people in the divine realm, so when people in the divine realm come out of their mother's womb, they will bear the responsibility, if nothing else, they will have to bear the responsibility for the rest of their lives. ”
Xuan Ying smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I'm not the worst person, and it seems that immortals are not a good errand." He raised his hand and pointed to the swing frame not far away and asked, "Have you ever been on a swing?"
Yaohuan shook her head.
Xuan Xuan said: "When I was young, my father made this swing with his own hands, I would come here to play almost every day, my father watched the music in the pavilion, at that time, no matter how high the swing was, I was not afraid, because I knew that my mother was behind me, and I never sat on it since my mother left." ”
Yao Jiao looked at Xuan Xuan, wanted to speak and stopped, Xuan Xuan seemed to be different from the other mortal people she saw in Baili, he seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets, Yao Jiao thought about the appearance when she first saw him, and the way he was drunk that day when she unintentionally saw him, and the way he was worried today, these people are all him, but none of them seem to be the real him, she began to be a little curious, what kind of person is this mortal in front of her?
Yaowan lay on the couch, always remembering what Xuan Xuan said, Xuan Xuan is only a teenager, if he is in the divine realm, he is still an underage immortal, his mother died early, and his father will die soon, what he will face is an unknown future, and what he will take is a road full of thorns and bumps.
But now only she knows the condition of the White Bird King, if she tells Xuan Xuan the truth, she is entrusted by the White Bird King, and even if Xuan Xuan knows it, he is a mortal, and he is powerless to change anything;
Yaojuan fidgeted, and when it was close to dawn, she squinted and slept for a while.
After dawn, she quickly got up and took out the medicine in the baggage, this medicine is called Ganmu, which is a precious fairy grass in the divine realm, she found a bottle from the Yam Dock of the Qiang, and asked the master for it, as long as the white bird king eats it, no matter what kind of disease, it will be cured immediately.
When she went out with a porcelain vase and was about to go to the palace of the White Bird King, Bai Qi ran over out of breath, and when she saw her nervous look, she thought something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Qi calmed down for a long time and said: "Yesterday, the disease doctor said that the king's illness needs a herb as an introduction, so he was born on the cliff not far from the Oak Mountain. ”
Yao's heart is bad, Luzhi Mountain is a subject country of the Demon Realm, the fief of the three princes of the Demon Clan, Xuanxuan went to Luzhi Mountain at this time, if it is discovered by the people of the Demon Clan, I am only afraid of more than one auspicious.
Yaowan said calmly: "How far is that place from here?"
Bai Qi replied: "It seems to be dozens of miles away." ”
Yaohuan closed her eyes and tried it, although her spiritual power had not recovered much, but the remaining spiritual power should be enough for her to go back and forth to the mountain.
Yaojuan pulled Bai Qi and handed her the medicine bottle in her hand: "This is the medicine that can cure the Baili King, you quickly take it and let him take it, I will go to find Xuan Xuan immediately, no one can leave here before we come back, do you understand?"
Bai Qi said with some worry: "But high priest, the wounds on your body are not healed yet." ”
Yaojuan said: "It's okay, I'll bring Xuan Xuan back safely, you go quickly." ”
After Bai Qi left, Yao Jiao went in to change into her clothes that were convenient and neat, hid the fire spirit beads in the box, and closed the door of the bamboo house and came out.
When driving the clouds, she obviously felt a little powerless, and almost fell off the clouds several times, and when she finally persevered to the place Bai Qi said, she was already sweating profusely.
She leaned against a large rock on the cliff and rested for a long time before she could regain her breath.
Looking around, she didn't see Xuan Xuan's figure, this is the place of the demons, she didn't dare to make too much noise, alarmed the people in the demon clan, she drove the clouds around a few times, and finally saw a figure on the stone on the edge of a cliff full of thorns, Yao Wan drove the clouds over, and fell to Xuan Xuan.
When Xuan Xuan raised his head, there were several more blood marks on his face and neck, and the clothes on his body were also torn, he didn't seem to think that his embarrassed appearance would be seen by Yao Jiao, and his expression was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Yaohuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally found you, I found the medicine to cure your father." ”
Xuan Xuan said happily: "What you said is true, have you really found the medicine that can save my father?"
Yaojuan nodded weakly: "Yes, get out of here quickly......"
Without waiting for Xuan Xuan to answer, Yao Yao's body fell straight down, Xuan Xuan's eyes were fast, and she hurriedly reached out to pull her, and Yao Yao hung on the edge of the cliff.
Xuan Xuan grabbed Yaohuan's arm with both hands, and after a while, the sweat on his forehead fell on Yaohuan's clothes one by one, he looked very difficult, but he still pulled Yaohuan tightly to prevent her from falling.
Yaowan thought for a while, looked at Xuan Xuan and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I am an immortal, even if I fall, I will not fall to death, you hurry up and let go, otherwise you will also fall." ”
Xuan Xuan shook his head: "You ran out of spiritual power a few days ago, no different from mortals, if I let go, you will definitely be thrown to death." ”
Yaohuan patiently persuaded: "What I said is true, I still have the divine power to protect the body, even if I don't have spiritual power, I won't die if I fall, you believe me." Yaojuan was half-hung on the cliff, and under Xuanxuan's pulling, she dangled on the cliff, and her bones hurt.
The green tendons on Xuan Ying's forehead flared up, and he said with difficulty: "Don't speak, save some effort, I'll pull you up." ”
Seeing that Xuanxuan refused to let go, she let go first, she gathered strength, and when she was about to fly up, Xuanxuan, who saw Yaojuan falling, jumped down.
Yaohuan was confused in her mind, she didn't seem to understand the situation, she tried to reach out to pull Xuanxuan, but she couldn't control the force of the two people falling, and the two fell to the bottom of the cliff like meteors.
Yao Yao thought to herself, it's over, falling from such a high place, Xuanxuan's flesh and bones will be broken, and she will be able to return to the god realm soon.
Yaohuan couldn't imagine what kind of terrible scene she was going to face, so she couldn't help but close her eyes, and after a long time, she felt that she fell lightly to the ground, and when she opened her eyes, in addition to the safe and sound Xuanxuan, there was also a person standing in front of her.
The man was dressed in a dark robe, with a green jade whistle hanging from his waist, and carefully looked at Yao Wan and Xuan Xuan with a pair of sharp eyes.
Only then did Yaojuan realize that she and Xuan Xuan could return to the top of the cliff safely, it should be the man in front of her who saved them, she cautiously looked at the unknown man and said, "Your Excellency came to the rescue, thank you." ”
The man nodded lightly: "You're welcome, girl, what are you two doing here?"
Yao Yaohan said with a smile: "That's the case, my father is sick, my second brother and I came to this cliff to look for a taste of herbs, I don't want the mountains here to be steep, one didn't stand firm, and almost fell, but fortunately, there was a son to rescue." ”
The man stared at Yaohuan carefully, as if he wanted to confirm whether her words were true from her expression, and then he looked at Yaojuan with a frank face and said, "I see, I'm familiar with this place, do you want to send the two of you out?"
Yaohuan hurriedly shook her head and refused: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, we can go out by ourselves." "This is the realm of the demon race, the man in front of him doesn't seem to be weak in cultivation, and he said that he is very familiar with the mountain, if he is not a member of the demon race, he must also hook up with the demon clan, and walk with him, isn't it a tiger companion?
The man glanced at Xuan Ying and said, "I think the two of you seem to be injured, and I should send you out in the wilderness here, it's just a matter of raising your hands, and the two of you don't have to shirk anymore." ”
Xuan Ying just wanted to refuse, but Yao Juan grabbed Bai and said: "Since this is the case, then it will be bothering the son." ”
Xuan Xuan looked at Yao Juan with a puzzled face, his brows gradually furrowed, he felt very uneasy when he stood with the man in front of him, as if something bad would happen, he didn't understand why Yao Juan didn't reject the man.
The man's expression was relieved, and he stared at Yaojuan and said, "The girl is injured, the mountain road here is difficult to walk, so carry the girl on your back." The man also seemed to be suspicious of their identity and purpose.
Yao Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh?"
Xuan Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Yaojuan and bent down and said, "Don't bother, I'll carry her." ”
Yaohuan looked at the blood oozing from her ankle, and in the current situation, there seemed to be no better choice, she climbed up along Xuanxuan's back, lying motionless on his shoulder.
The man didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them lightly, he followed the two of them dozens of paces away, always keeping a distance from them.
Yaowan didn't dare to be careless, she pricked up her ears and carefully paid attention to the movements of the man behind her.
After walking down the mountain for a long time, Xuan Xuan quietly asked, "Who is he?"
Yaowan turned her head slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the man not far behind her, and replied, "I don't know, it doesn't seem to be a mortal." I'm so spiritually out that I can't see it. ”
Xuan Xuan said: "He doesn't look easy to deal with, be careful, and after going down the mountain, immediately find an excuse to get rid of him." ”
Yaowan nodded lightly, and thought that Xuan Xuan couldn't see it, so she hurriedly agreed, "Okay." ”
Xuan Ying carried her on his back for a long time, and when he was about to reach the border between the white bird and the demon race, he raised his head and asked, "Is he still there?"
Yaowan turned around, but the shadow of the person was gone, she hurriedly reached out and patted Xuan Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Let me go, he's gone." ”
Xuan Xuan didn't stop: "It's almost here, you're injured, I'll help you walk very slowly." ”
Yaojuan no longer speaks, she has never been a fairy who likes to cause trouble to others, if she gets off Xuanxuan's back at this time, then as Xuanxuan said, she has to help her walk slowly, she is an immortal, and today she has become a burden to a mortal, it is really a creation and making people!
When they walked to the bamboo fence of the Baili tribe, everyone looked at the embarrassed two people in confusion and began to whisper.
Xuan Xuan walked unhurriedly, and just walked to the bluestone road in front of the bamboo house in Yaojuan, someone walked quickly, looking at him wearing clothes, like an attendant in the palace of the White Bird King: "The prince is back?" The White Bird King summoned Prince Xuan Xuan and asked Prince Xuan Xuan to go with his subordinates. ”
After speaking, he raised his head, stared fixedly at the concubine on Xuan Xuan's back, and greeted politely: "I have seen the high priest." ”
When Yaohuan heard this, she hurriedly got off Xuan Xuan's back and said to Xuan Xuan: "Then you go quickly, I'll go back by myself." ”
When Yaojuan turned around, Xuan Xuan suddenly said to her back, "Thank you." ”
She paused for a moment and looked back at him.
Xuan Xuan continued: "Thank you for the medicine you found for your father, and thank you for running to the mountain to save me today, regardless of the danger. ”
Yaohuan smiled and continued walking.
Before Xuan Xuan left, he turned around and glanced at Yaohuan several times before turning around and running towards the sleeping palace of the White Bird King.
When Yaowan arrived at the bamboo house, she saw a familiar figure, she stared at his back for a long time, and then said with some uncertainty: "Qin Bi?"
Qin Bi is the only son of Qin Gang and Yun Zhongjun, and he grew up with Yaowan on the Shanqi Mountain, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood.
He turned around and stared at Yaojuan with his slender eyes under his sword eyebrows for a long time, and when he saw the gloomy aura on Yaojuan's body, the expression on his face changed from shock to suspicion: "What's wrong with you?"
Yao smiled wryly and did not give any explanation.
Qin Bi looked at Yao's expression, and suddenly realized: "You used the Fire Spirit Bead to cure the flood of the white bird?"
Yao Wan smiled helplessly: "Now I am an immortal without magic spiritual power, maybe even weaker than these mortals." ”
Qin Biao was surprised: "Why, I see that you seem to be very happy." ”
Yaohuan said: "Naturally, if I have no spiritual power, I can only be like these mortals, waiting for your immortals to protect me, I don't have to worry about other things, I am relaxed, what's wrong?"
Qin Biao took out a bag from his sleeve and said, "The spiritual power that has been cultivated for 30,000 years is gone in an instant, and you are still laughing? You are really optimistic, my father is not worried about you, so he asked me to come down and take a look, I took some immortal medicine, you can watch and eat it." ”
Yaowan took the bag and said happily: "Your medicine is really timely, thank you." She opened her bag and asked nonchalantly, "When are you going back?"
Qin Biao asked, "Where are you going back?"
Yaohuan raised her head and said, "Go home!
