Chapter 60: First Come, First Come
There are two places in Lingyuan and the outside world.
One is the gap in the valley that Qi Feng accidentally passed through when he fell from the heavenly realm, this gap is thousands of feet from the bottom of the Lingyuan, only one person can pass through, and it is hidden in the forest, and few people can notice it unless they deliberately look for it;
Li Sixiu was originally the next village head, so he naturally knew about the secret passage.
At the beginning, he was driven out by stealing Lingzhi and demonizing, but now he was embarrassed to swagger back from the cracks, so he had to go to find the secret passage that he had only heard of but had never seen, and wanted to sneak back to the small courtyard of the sixth uncle to inquire about the old ancestor Firefly Fox Immortal.
It's a pity that the entrance and exit are too cleverly hidden, and it took Li Sixiu a month to investigate all the water sources near Lingyuan, but he couldn't find a place to enter, and he was giving up on himself and wanted to go back to Camel Mountain to seek Meng Ke's help, but he was hit in the head by a scroll that fell from the sky, and plunged into the stream.
"Poofโ"
He spat out the water he choked on in his mouth, looked up and asked vigilantly, "Who!?"
All he answered was the sound of running water and the chirping of birds.
"Scrolls?"
Picking up the scroll that fell into the stream but was not wet at all, Li Sixiu looked it up and down carefully for a while, and saw that the shape and color of this scroll were extremely elegant, and the green jade was the shaft and the splendid embroidery was paper, and he guessed that eighty percent of it was something from the Heavenly Palace.
Since it is from the Heavenly Palace, the messenger can only be Li Shuyu.
Choosing a shade tree to sit down, Li Sixiu tore off the small seal attached to the scroll, carefully spread the scroll on his lap, and the rows of delicate and delicate small characters slowly appeared in front of his eyes, but his face instantly darkened half.
Because he grew up in the small valley of the countryside of Lingyuan, neither Li Sixiu nor Li Shuyu had read any books, and they didn't read much, so this scroll was quite difficult for him to read. He reluctantly gnawed down a letter half-guessed, and roughly understood that Li Shuyu wanted to entrust him with an important matter, and the matter happened to be related to Lingyuan, although he didn't understand the specific details of the matter, but he clearly saw the words "the best of both worlds".
Since you can have the best of both worlds, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
So he didn't think about it, he seriously rolled up the scroll and put it away, and simply set off back to Camel Mountain.
As a result, he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was a handsome young man who he had never seen before.
"You're Li Sixiu?"
In the cave of the mountain god, Huan Yi threw all the remaining herbs in his hand into the mortar in one go, got up and dusted off the grass residues on his body, put on the prince's usual shelf, and said without much ups and downs: "Come in." โ
Li Shuyu, who was sweating hard and pounding the medicine, couldn't get used to him setting up a shelf, smashed the medicine pestle, and said angrily: "Why did you throw it all down, the previous one hasn't been ground yet!"
Li Lanjing happened to come out with the freshly cooked mountain soup, and when she saw Li Shuyu losing her temper with Huan Yi, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and scolded her: "It's not big or small! How can you talk to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Li Sixiu originally thought that the young man was just Meng Ke's guest or Li Shuyu's junior brother in Zixiao Palace, but he didn't expect it to be Huan Yi, the prince of the Heavenly Palace, and he was a little at a loss for a while. Although he didn't do a bad thing after becoming a demon, as the saying goes, fairies and demons have different paths, plus a lot of beams knotted by the Emperor of Heaven and the sleeveless, I want to know that Huan Yi will not give him a good face, so he immediately turned around, ready to give up Li Shuyu's plan of "the best of both worlds".
"Where are you going?"
Seeing that he wanted to run, Li Shuyu quickly picked up the small bamboo basket containing medicinal herbs in his hand and threw it over, the small bamboo basket crossed a graceful arc in the air, and finally accurately covered Li Sixiu's head. The latter was suddenly grabbed by his head, his vision darkened, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground in a daze like a zombie.
"What are you running?"
Li Shuyu trotted over to help him take off the bamboo basket, and said a little funny: "I haven't said what I want you to help me with!"
"He's afraid of me. Huan Yi stood in place with his hands in his hands, raised his eyebrows and said: "After all, there is a conflict between the fairy world and the demon world now, even if I am in a bad mood to kill him, it is completely reasonable." โ
"Who is afraid of you!" Because he was ridiculed by Qi Feng too many times before, what Li Sixiu couldn't stand now was that others said that he was timid, so he immediately got up from the ground, and shouted with his neck stalked: "Isn't it the prince of the heavenly realm, what's the big deal!"
"You really deserve to be Lishuyu's childhood sweetheart, you don't have much ability, but your mouth is very powerful. "Huan Yi thought that your Lingyuan fox was really cheeky, but he still chose to leave a trace of dignity for Li Sixiu, lest he really be angry and pick on him, then he would have to find another way to settle Ao Shu and Ao Feng.
Li Shuyu, who was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the excitement and gloating, was suddenly named, and immediately changed his face, and shouted with his neck stalked: "Who are you talking about!"
Li Lanjing looked at the two younger brothers and sisters who had not grown up since they were young and had stalked their necks in a hurry, shook their heads and sighed helplessly.
"His Royal Highness Huan Yi is here to get down to business this time, so don't make trouble with the two of you. She put the soup bowl on the stone table and said coldly, "Otherwise, you won't have to eat later." โ
Li Sixiu and Li Shuyu were immediately silenced.
Turning the page over the stubble just now, the three of them sat down at the stone table again, Huan Yi took out the illusion scroll from his arms and put it on the stone table, and said, "I invite you to come over this time, I want to ask you to take this scroll to Lingyuan." This scroll is my magic weapon, and the inner illusion realm can contain all things, and now there are two injured great immortals resting in it, and they need to be sent to Lingyuan for recuperation as soon as possible. Shu Yu can't go back because of the broken fate, and it's inconvenient for me to show up in Lingyuan, so I can only ask you to help with this. โ
"Me?" Li Sixiu raised his eyebrows, "I made a mistake and was kicked out of Lingyuan, and Shuyu didn't tell you?"
She said. Huan Yi's face did not change, "I also think you are not very reliable, but she insists on asking you to send it." โ
"I'm not going. Li Sixiu snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I have no obligation to run errands for Tiangong, what is the best of both worlds, it is completely framing me to suffer." โ
The green tendons on Li Shuyu's head jumped, and he raised his foot and kicked Li Sixiu's calf.
"Shhh
"Do you know what a roundabout strategy is, the village chief could have driven you out for stealing Lingzhi, and now he can welcome you back for the sake of the two immortals in this scroll. Li Shuyu clapped a few palms on the table, hating iron and steel: "Think about the time when my brother-in-law came to Lingyuan to ask for marriage, and when Ah Feng accidentally fell into Lingyuan, when the village chief didn't welcome him with a smile. If he knew that you were going back with the two great immortals to recuperate, he would definitely be too late to be happy, where would he drive you. Take advantage of this opportunity, you apologize to the village chief, turn the past directly, and the conflict between your grandfather and grandson will be resolved!"
She said it very reasonably, even Lilanjing was a little shocked, she didn't believe that her sister could think of this link, and subconsciously acquiesced that these were all Huan Yi's ideas. So she immediately poured a full glass of fruit wine and sent it to Huan Yi, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for bothering you." โ
Although Huan Yi couldn't figure out why she was suddenly so polite, she still accepted the wine and accepted her gratitude.
Li Sixiu also thought about it with Li Lanjing, he thought seriously for a while, and chose to put the scroll away in his arms, and his attitude towards Huan Yi was much more relaxed than at the beginning.
"I'll admit it's the best of both worlds, I'll send it, thanks. โ
With that, he got up and said goodbye to Lilanjing, and politely declined the invitation to stay for dinner.
Li Shuyu sent him outside the cave, and opened his mouth to say a few more words, but when he looked up, he found that Li Sixiu had unconsciously become taller than before, and the childishness between his eyebrows and eyes had faded completely.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her staring at herself, Li Sixiu was a little uncomfortable, raised her hand and touched her face, and said to herself, "Could it be that something is stained......"
"Nope. Li Shuyu chuckled a few times, "I just feel that you seem to have grown up." โ
Li Sixiu's face darkened: "I'm already older than you." โ
"That's right. Li Shuyu nodded, "Greet the village chief and the elders for me." โ
"Hmm. Li Sixiu responded in a muffled voice, and waited for a while to see that Li Shuyu was not going to say anything else, so he snorted coldly and left the main peak of the camel mountain with the wind.
Huan Yi stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the two of them say goodbye, and unconsciously thought that if it was Qifeng who was separated from Li Shuyu at the moment, would she still be so indifferent and careless.
"This kid is also pitiful. He suddenly spoke up and said coolly: "I obviously grew up with your childhood sweetheart, but now I can only give you to others, and I don't know what it feels like to be in love for many years." โ
"Your Highness Huanyi, not everything has to be said to come first and come first. Li Shuyu watched Li Sixiu's figure disappear into the clouds on the top of the mountain, and said lightly: "When you have a princess in the future, you shouldn't say this kind of thing to me." โ
Hearing her mention the princess, Huan Yi's face immediately fell, and his words just now were not so much unfair for Li Sixiu, but more like out of some unauthentic selfishness. He didn't want to admit this selfishness, he couldn't tell anyone, the more he wanted to ignore it, the more it took root in his heart, making him feel the struggle and confusion that he had never felt before.
"You're right, I should have a princess. He walked up to Li Shuyu, sneered and said, "But I'm not very good at looking at women, I wonder if you have a suitable candidate to recommend to me?"
Li Shuyu just said casually, she didn't expect Huan Yi to really pick up the topic of the princess, but she didn't know how to answer for a while, she went back and forth several times in her mind about the few poor fairies she knew, and then asked cautiously: "Chanmeng fairy?"
Huan Yi: "I don't like crying women." โ
Li Shuyu: "...... Immortal Monarch?"
Huan Yi: "Older women don't like it either. โ
Li Shuyu: "...... Water Birch Fairy?"
Huan Yi: "Naughty women don't like it even more. โ
Lishuyu was sullen, and couldn't help but say: "I don't like this or that, I don't think you need to look for the princess, just cut your head clean and go to the West Heaven Bliss." โ
