Chapter 52: The Poles of God and Demons
Pingjiang State, which is also located on the Pingsui Plateau with the Tunwa Mountains, should only be regarded as a small country in terms of land area, because of the steep terrain, unlike the Central Plains countries that have land suitable for farming, so most of the people live in the mountains, and the population is relatively sparse.
In order to avoid being recognized, Ao Shu imitated Li Shuyu, who turned into a fairy child living in Zixiao Palace, and turned into a dark-skinned Pingjiang boy, who got up early every day to go out hunting with the villagers, and lived alone in a wooden house built on a big tree at night.
Suppressing the divine power is abnormally exhausting, except for a few times during the day to hide her identity and go out, the rest of the time she sleeps in the house, even so, she still feels more and more tired, and a little relaxation may show back to the prototype.
Half a month has passed since such a tired day, and just when she was about to lose her breath and couldn't take the initiative to run to Qingpu River to pull out Ao Feng's ink to scold him, Li Shuyu took a pack of Da Bu Dan and turned into her window at night.
"Shangxian?!"
Li Shuyu looked at Ao Shu, who was almost integrated with the night, with a shocked face, and said extremely sadly: "I thought there were briquettes piled up on the bed, and you were too cruel to yourself!"
"What's this. β
Ao Shu lit the lamp and said with a smile: "The whole village is full of briquettes, and I am the only one who is a snowball, so it's strange if I am not suspected." β
"That's right. Li Shuyu laughed a few times, put the big tonic pill in his arms on the wooden table, and said: "I heard Huan Yi say that it is extremely hard for you to cover up your divine power, so I turned over some nourishing and healthy pills from Master's Danku, although it may not have much effect on your divine body, but it is better than nothing." β
Ao Shu couldn't laugh or cry a little: "You stole Zixiao Zhenjun's elixir, and you are not afraid that he will blame it?"
"I wish he had come and blamed me. β
At the mention of Zixiao Zhenjun, Li Shuyu instantly wilted, and said dejectedly: "Master has been in retreat since the day Luo Xi Yuanjun was reinstated, and the entire Zixiao Palace is lifeless, and the brothers and sisters have knelt outside the door for three days, and the master is so determined that he can't come out." Luo Xi Yuanjun didn't feel good in his heart, he didn't even enter the door of Zixiao Palace when he returned to the Heavenly Palace a few days ago, he only hurriedly went to report the battle on the front line to the Emperor and left. β
"It's not easy for the two of them. Ao Shu sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "I don't know how long I have to wait, and I don't know how long I have to wait, and I don't know how long I have to wait." β
Li Shuyu stopped the hand of pouring the bottle, she was not very good at comforting people, and she held back for a long time before she said carefully: "Shangxian, I have been investigating around the Qingpu River for half a month, your brother is determined to trap the big brother of the river god, and the formation set up can't even escape a water flea." I discussed it with Huan Yi, and he said that he could only continue to hold his troops, and he would have to wait a little longer. β
Thinking of her domineering and tough brother, Ao Shu immediately lost her temper, she raised her hand and slapped it on the table, the wooden table immediately cracked into several petals, and the bottles and cans that Li Shuyu rested on the table also fell to the ground with a clang.
"Up...... Shangxian?" Li Shuyu hurriedly squatted down to pick up the bottle, glad that there was a straw mat on the ground in this room, otherwise the bottle would be broken, and even if these big tonic pills were picked up, they didn't want to feed them into their mouths.
"Brother is always like that. Ao Shu was very angry, the young man's emaciated chest rose and fell violently due to anger, she gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Since he was a child, he has been embarrassed by his cousin everywhere, just because he is the son of Heijiao, and he also said that as long as he has Heijiao's blood on his body, then it is only a matter of time before he falls into the devil." β
Li Shuyu didn't comment on Shangxian's family affairs, so he only whispered and said: "I also think that Brother River God is innocent, and his background is not something that he can decide." β
"I know that he feels sorry for me, after all, I have my aunt's experience, but my cousin has been coldly looked down upon and excluded since he was a child, and when he was young, he even drank bone wine to forcibly change his bone meridians in order to prove that he still had half of the dragon bloodline. The more Ao Shu thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she couldn't help crying: "He was so good-looking." β
"Shangxian ......" Li Shuyu looked at the young man with a briquette crying in front of her, and she didn't feel good in her heart, she scratched her head a little helplessly, and hesitated and said, "Why not...... Why don't I go to Qi Xinchen for help?"
"Him?!"
Ao Shu's voice instantly raised, and she glared, "What are you looking for him to do!"
Li Shuyu raised her hand to signal her to be calm, and explained: "He actually always knew that you didn't want to marry him, and he personally went to find the eldest brother of the river god, saying that he was willing to help the two of you elope." β
"Really?" Ao Shu looked puzzled, "Once my escape from marriage is exposed, the most embarrassing thing is him, and the Qishan clan's face is not honorable." β
"Hmm......" Li Shuyu thought for a moment and said tentatively, "It's just my guess." Perhaps, he truly loves you...... So he wants you to be with someone you really like rather than marrying him. β
Ao Shu didn't answer, she looked at the jumping lights, and after a long time, she lowered her eyes and said, "Who knows......"
After putting away the elixir brought by Li Shuyu in a bamboo box, Ao Shu took her out of the wooden house and walked all the way to the cliff full of precious herbs.
The moonlight was still bright tonight, and they walked along the narrow mountain road, picking as they went.
"I heard from the villagers that there are the most medicinal herbs in this area, but I don't know which ones are useful, since you are here, pick more and go back, and you may be able to use them when refining apricot lindan." β
Li Shuyu actually didn't recognize it all, but she still knew a few flavors, she picked a lot of them in one go, thinking about picking them first, and then turning around and taking them back to the camel mountain for her sister Lilanjing to distinguish.
The two unknowingly traveled a long way, Li Shuyu was worried that Ao Shu was tired, and took the initiative to say that she had picked enough, and wanted to send her back to the wooden house to rest, but Ao Shu shook her head and said that she couldn't sleep because of something in her heart, and wanted to go to the top of the mountain to have a look.
Li Shuyu summoned his own little broken clouds, and took Ao Shu to the top of the mountain, and the two of them lay on the soft lawn on the top of the mountain, each with their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
In silence, Li Shuyu suddenly noticed a powerful force passing under her, she immediately sat up, turned her head and wanted to ask Ao Shu if she felt it, but saw that Ao Shu sat up one step ahead of her, her dark face was tense, and her eyes were rare solemn and fierce.
"Shuyu. She looked at the bottomless cliff at her feet and whispered, "There are great guests here." β
Li Shuyu swallowed a few times nervously, and asked in a low voice, "Is it your brother?"
"Nope. Ao Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said meaningfully: "It's the person my brother is looking for." β
"Sleeveless?!" Li Shuyu exhaled in a low voice, "Has he been hiding here?"
"No, he's just arrived......" Ao Shu felt the air blowing from the bottom of the cliff, and when she smelled a familiar breath, her eyes suddenly widened, and she murmured in disbelief: "Why...... Why is there still a fairy ......?"
"Immortal?" Li Shuyu's expression was not much better, she looked at the black cliff, and frowned: "Could it be that an immortal monarch has caught up with him?"
"It's not an ordinary immortal. Ao Shu turned her head to look into Li Shuyu's eyes, and said in an accentuated tone: "Penglai's divine breath, clear and pure, and the golden unicorn's divine breath is purer, so the immortal below is Luolin." β
Li Shuyu's mind was like fireworks exploding, why did the immortals who represented the auspiciousness of the Three Realms walk with the evil gods of the Three Realms? Did they come to hunt him down? But there was no breath of war under the cliff. Is it tracking? When tracking, you should hide your mind...... Or is it ......
"Immortals. Li Shuyu's hands and feet were cold, she raised her hand to the cliff, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it ...... Is she on that side......"
"I don't know. A hint of pain flashed in Ao Shu's eyes, "But I hope not." β
Gods and demons are originally two poles, and if the two poles are chaotic, then the Three Realms will be violently turbulent.
"Shuyu, you quickly leave this place and go and inform Qifeng of this. β
"Then you ......"
"Rest assured. Ao Shu gently held Li Shuyu's right hand and said in a low voice: "They just passed by here, and the aura has begun to dissipate, and they continue to go to the east, I guess they are going to the Valley of No Return." Shuyu, as a dragon immortal, I should have chased them to defend the peace of the Three Realms, but at this moment, I only thought that this was the only chance my cousin and I could meet. β
Once the matter of Sleeveless and Luolin is revealed, Ao Qi will definitely have no time to take care of it, and Ao Feng can also take this opportunity to leave Qingpu River to meet her. As an immortal, she was supposed to protect the Three Realms, but she chose selfishness at the moment, and responsibility became a shackle and was heavily buckled on her heart.
"Immortals. β
Li Shuyu gently shook her back and said softly, "Even if there is no you, I believe that your brother, Ah Feng, and Luo Xi Yuanjun will definitely protect the beings of the Three Realms." Although my mana is low, I will also take your heart with you to protect them well. β
The bottom of the cliff was quiet again, and only the coolness of the night remained in the air flow blowing from below, Ao Shu quietly looked at Li Shuyu's soft and simple smile in the moonlight, and for the first time truly understood why Qi Feng liked her.
Seeing Lishuyu ride away in the clouds, Ao Shu stepped on the mountain road back to the cabin alone, and the smell she had just smelled lingered in her mind, lingering for a long time.
Because of the small age difference, she, Qihuang and Luolin have known each other since childhood, and the three elders have a deep relationship, so they have met quite a lot. Unlike the gentle and polite Qihuang, Luolin has always been a little self-assured, except for Qihuang, who is also a thousand-year-old auspicious with her, no other fairies have ever gotten any good looks from her. Especially Ao Shu, because of the good relationship between his brother Ao Qi and Qi Feng, he is still close to Qi Feng, and some people with long tongues and good deeds have to say some gossip behind their backs, most of the gossip is nonsense, just listen to it, but it is not so simple to spread to Luo Lin's ears. As her fiancΓ©e, she felt that she couldn't hold her face, so she directly asked Qifeng and Ao Shu if they had an affair in front of all the immortals on the day of the banquet, and directly taught the two to lose face, and the Penglai Qilin couple couldn't get off the stage, and they didn't have the face to contact Qishan and Donghai for a long time.
Since then, Ao Shu has seen Luolin taking a detour, and if Luolin participates in the Shangxian Wine Banquet, she will definitely find an excuse to refuse to attend. As time passed, Luo Lin and her were basically strangers, and it wasn't until she went to the Heavenly Palace Hall for the matter of the silver wolf clan some time ago that she and Luo Lin had a conversation again.
"Inexplicable. β
Ao Shu looked up at the east where her breath had disappeared, and Nan Nan said, "What the hell are you...... What do you want to do......"
