Chapter 42: Friends Reunited
What returned to Camel Mountain earlier than Lishuyu was an edict in the hands of Shenwei Xingjun.
Luo Xi Yuanjun didn't seem surprised by this, she took the military order and the troop transfer tiger talisman as usual, thanked the Emperor for his grace, and said that she would return to the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible.
Lilanjing hid quietly in the cave, and when Shenwei Xingjun left with a group of heavenly soldiers, she walked out lightly.
On the big stone outside the cave, Luo Xi Yuanjun sat quietly with some distraction, and the golden edict and the troop transfer tiger talisman shining with divine light were casually put aside, obviously not taken seriously by the master.
"Are you going back?" asked Lilanjing.
"Yes. Luo Xi Yuanjun chuckled, "I just started to get used to dismissal, and now I'm going to be reinstated." ”
Lilanjing couldn't laugh, she was also a woman, she knew Luo Xi Yuanjun's mood at the moment, but she felt that it was superfluous to say anything, so she just walked over and sat down on the stone bench at Luo Xi Yuanjun's feet, and quietly washed the corn.
"Sister Lan Jing, I have led the army to fight for so many years, and I thought that there was nothing to be afraid of in heaven and earth, but in the fifty years that I was trapped in the Guiyuan Taixu Realm, I was afraid every day. Luo Xi Yuanjun's hand resting on his lap clenched quietly, "If I die, what will I do, senior brother." ”
"It's a good thing to feel scared, only when you are scared will you have concern, and if you have concern, you will cherish yourself more, and you will want to come back. Lilanjing looked up at her and said softly: "Yuanjun, even if it is for Zixiao Zhenjun, please return it safely." ”
When Lishuyu rushed to the camel mountain, the first thing that caught her eye was the figure of Lilanjing and Luo Xi Yuanjun nestled next to the big stone in the cave, she stopped the clouds that were about to land, and looked at them from a distance through the hazy fog on the top of the mountain, only to feel that the box in her hand weighed a thousand catties.
After hesitating, Luo Xi Yuanjun had sensed her, and quickly lifted his head from Lilanjing's shoulder, inadvertently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and raised his head to shout to her: "Come down quickly." ”
Li Shuyu was shocked like a child who eavesdropped on the secret of an adult and was caught, and hurriedly descended from the sky in front of Zixiao Zhenjun, and shouted "Yuanjun" with a little weakness.
"Zixiao Zhenjun asked you to come back. Li Lanjing looked at the box in Li Shuyu's hand and asked her, "What did he explain?"
"Master said that this is all the Dulu Jindan that he treasured, let me show it to Yuanjun, saying that it should be useful for you to take it. Li Shuyu handed the box to Luo Xi Yuanjun and whispered, "Master, he ...... Very sad...... I don't dare to come and see you in person......"
Luo Xi Yuanjun took the box, gently stroked the delicate carvings on the box with great care, and said softly: "I know." ”
Li Shuyu and Li Lanjing glanced at each other, and the sisters remained silent while having a very tacit understanding.
That night, Bi Yan, who was dressed in military uniform, came to Camel Mountain with Luo Xi Yuanjun's armor and all weapons, and went to suppress the Red Python clan that had broken out in advance without even eating dinner.
Zixiao Palace has been silent since the Mandate of Heaven was issued, Zixiao Zhenjun suddenly retreated, and the brothers in the palace all relied on Qiuchen to appease them, Li Shuyu didn't want to go back to see each other's sadness with them, so he simply lived in Huoshan again.
Seeing that she didn't think about tea and dinner, she didn't say a word, and she didn't see the noisy and lively state of the past, so they couldn't help but become more and more worried, and they didn't allow her to think nonsense in the hole, so they stuffed a big bamboo basket into her arms as soon as it was dawn, and asked her to go to the mountains and forests to pick up wild chestnuts, and she could come back when she was full.
Li Shuyu did not object, returned to the normal body of a girl, and went down the mountain early in the morning with a big bamboo basket on her back, without saying a word "no".
The camel mountain is lush with trees and many wild beasts, but the beasts have long known that Lishuyu is the sister of the mountain god, so they are all extremely close to her, and when they see her enter the mountain, they all happily surround her.
"Ah Yu Ah Yu, you didn't go to the Heavenly Palace, why did you come back so soon?"
A little yellow fox who had accompanied Li Shuyu to pick herbs and mushrooms came up to her and asked curiously, "What's so interesting about the Heavenly Palace?"
Li Shuyu was in no mood to answer her, and said weakly: "It's nothing, I'm homesick, so I'll come back." ”
"Since you're always homesick, why do you want to go back?" The other red fox looked puzzled: "I heard that your master is a great immortal monarch, won't he be angry?"
"Master is in retreat, and he doesn't bother with me at all. Li Shuyu found a comfortable lawn and sat down, absentmindedly picked a flower and pinched it in his hand, and muttered: "Ah Feng doesn't bother to pay attention to me, if I was useful, otherwise I wouldn't have come to pick up chestnuts at this juncture." ”
The onlookers looked at each other, not knowing what she meant.
"As I said that, on the way we came, I heard a word from the sparrows, saying that they had seen a suspicious person enter the mountain. ”
"Suspicious?"
Li Shuyu immediately came to his senses, frowned and asked, "Where did you see it?"
"The back hill is where you were caught by the net last time. ”
The corners of Li Shuyu's mouth twitched, and his heart said that you would be able to show the way.
Throwing the basket to the animals to help them pick up chestnuts, Li Shuyu turned back into a fox and went to the mountain where he landed on his first visit. She now knows the topography of the camel mountain by heart, and it is completely easy to find the fastest path.
Walking through the dense grass and shrubs, Li Shuyu carefully watched the movements around her while pricking up her ears to look for the traces of the incoming person, she was now much better than before, so she was not too afraid.
While running, he suddenly heard the fluttering of the wings of a frightened bird not far away, and Li Shuyu immediately stopped his rapid pace and approached slowly with light hands and feet.
"Ah, he's so good-looking!"
A bird flying over Lishuyu's head suddenly said.
Li Shuyu thought that she had misheard, and was about to stop the bird and ask, when she heard two birds flying by exclaiming: "It's so beautiful!"
Li Shuyu was confused, and was hesitating when she heard a "Shuyu" explode in front of her, and then after a series of branches breaking, a snow-white and beautiful silver fox appeared in front of her.
"Sixiu?!"
Li Shuyu was completely stunned, why should the guy who should be an empty shell protector in the demon world appear in Camel Mountain?!
"Great, I smelled you, but I didn't expect to actually come across it. ”
Li Sixiu and Li Shuyu touched their noses, stretched out their tongues and licked her face, and said happily: "We really have a heart." ”
"What are you doing in Camel Mountain?" asked Li Shuyu.
"That's a long story. Li Sixiu looked at his fur that was scratched by the branches, and said helplessly: "Let's change places, there are too many branches here, and they may be injured." ”
Taking Li Sixiu back to the tree where he was resting, Li Shuyu and Li Sixiu all turned into human forms and sat down on the lawn, and the onlookers were taken away by Li Shuyu, leaving only some fresh mountain fruits and half a basket of chestnuts that had been picked up.
"Say it. Li Shuyu took out a few chestnuts and put them in the palm of his hand, roasted them in the palm of his hand, and then handed them to Li Sixiu: "Say while eating, you should be hungry too." ”
Li Sixiu looked at the flame in her palm, and it was particularly unpleasant: "You used to be the same as me, and you didn't like hot things the most. ”
"Who taught me that I'm a firefox now? Li Shuyu didn't want to talk to him about this, so she brought the topic back to the point: "What the hell is going on?"
"I came to Huoshan just to see you, I thought you were still in the Heavenly Palace, and I wanted to ask Sister Lanjing to pass the word for me, but I didn't expect to meet you directly. Li Sixiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I hope you can ...... Accompany me to meet someone. ”
Li Shuyu raised her eyebrows: "Who?"
"Firefly Fox Immortal. ”
"Firefly Fox Immortal?" Li Shuyu was a little surprised: "Why did you suddenly think of going to see him?"
"The King...... The matter of the sleeveless refining of the Ten Thousand Armies Listening to the Talisman has spread, and the people in the demon world are now panicking, and they are all worried that their clan will be implicated, a few days ago I heard that the medicinal fields of the Baicao Immortal Clan were occupied, and the clansmen of the Baicao Clan with spiritual blood were all used as fertilizer for the Immortal Grass. I'm very worried about Lingyuan, Firefly Lingzhi is a treasure of the Three Realms, if Sleeveless hits the idea of Lingzhi, then Lingyuan will soon become the second Baicao. And ......"
Li Sixiu's voice was a little tight, he looked at Li Shuyu's eyes, hesitated for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I wanted to go to Sleeveless to ask for my resignation, and I happened to hear him talking to a woman in the dormitory, and the words mentioned the word Firefly Fox Immortal. I have a hunch that the rebellion launched by the sleeveless should not be to conquer the Three Realms, and the reason may be ...... Related to the Glowing Fox Immortals. ”
Suspecting that the big devil who everyone in the Three Realms is shouting and fighting now has a leg with his ancestor, it is definitely uncomfortable for Li Shuyu to understand Li Sixiu's desire to speak and stop. Teng Xiu once said that as long as Li Sixiu had the blood of the Yinghu Immortal on his body, Sleeveless would never let him have an accident, and Sleeveless did not hesitate to take in the demon-turning Li Sixiu, not to mention, and also gave him the artifact Hidden Moon Wheel, appointing him as the protector of the Dharma with low demonic power, and he could love the house and Wu to such an extent, if it wasn't for the deep feelings for the Yinghu Immortal, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it.
Therefore, Li Sixiu's speculation is not impossible.
"I heard that the Yinghu Immortal lives in Penglai, and Penglai is the residence of the Shangxian Qilin, and I can't see him as a little fairy in the Heavenly Palace, so I can only ask Ah Feng to take us there. ”
Hearing her mention Qi Feng, Li Sixiu's face instantly drooped, as black as the bottom of a burnt pot in the kitchen of Camel Mountain.
"I don't want to see him. ”
"If you don't see him first, you won't see the Glowing Fox Immortal, and you won't get the answer you want. Li Shuyu peeled a ripe chestnut and threw it into his mouth, and said while eating: "Otherwise, I will go with Ah Feng, and you will wait for my news in Huoshan?"
Li Sixiu was even more reluctant: "Then how can it be done, the Yinghu Immortal is my ancestor, I have to ask him these questions, how can I let that foreign bird do it for me!"
Hearing him say "Outer Bird", Li Shuyu was instantly amused, and the mood that had been depressed since the morning was finally relieved a little.
"Get up. ”
Li Shuyu stood up with the basket, pointed to the deep forest and said, "Accompany me to pick up chestnuts." ”
Li Sixiu cherishes his fur and doesn't want to go: "What chestnuts are you picking up on this joint." ”
"I have to ask you Sister Lan Jing. Li Shuyu pointed to the basket on his back: "If you don't pick it up, we won't have anything to eat." ”
Li Sixiu: "......"
