Chapter 55: False, False, True, True
As the lord of the East China Sea and the head of the Dragon Kings of the Four Directions, Ao Fu, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, thinks that there is nothing in this world that can stump him.
Before her daughter Ao Shu ran away from marriage and eloped and her whereabouts were unknown.
This matter is disgraceful, and the two major Shangxian families have lost face because of this, especially Qishan. Although the patriarch Qi Kuan did not complain about anything, it did not mean that the other phoenixes in Qishan also did not complain about this matter, Qi Xinchen's father was the most respected elder in the pilgrimage palace, and after this incident, he was determined to have a grudge against the dragon clan, and he would have to throw a face at Donghai when they met in the future.
Ao Fu was disturbed by family affairs, and only felt the panic of staying in the Crystal Palace, so he simply put all his worries aside in advance, and went to Penglai to find his old friend Luoxian to drink and play chess, and he was right to adjust his mood.
Halfway through the wine, his daughter-in-law Qi Huang came up with a few dishes of appetizers made by herself, thinking that she would put things away and retreat, but she heard Ao Fu casually say to Luoxian that the East China Sea had searched the eastern and southern parts of the continent, and was preparing to carefully investigate the northwest, and it was bound to find out Ao Shu.
Qi Huang had already heard her brother Qi Feng say in the letter that although she was Qi Xinchen's cousin, she and Ao Shu were also close friends in the boudoir, so she didn't want the two who finally became dependents to be separated again, so she immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Huoshan, only hoping that the news could be passed on in time through the intermediary Li Shuyu. It's a pity that it was a step too late, when the letter was sent to Huoshan, Li Shuyu had already gone to Pingjiang with Ao Feng, and when Li Shuyu got the news, he was already far away from those two, and he couldn't catch up.
At the same time as Ao Shu's escape from marriage, it was mentioned in the letter, as well as the incident of Luo Lin walking with no sleeves. Qi Huang broke out in a cold sweat after reading the letter, and immediately burned after reading it, the walking of immortals and demons is a major event that subverts the Three Realms Gangchang, Luo Lin has not yet shown up, this matter is not conclusive at present, and she does not dare to leak the news in front of her in-laws.
Once the seeds of suspicion have fallen, they can sprout in the blink of an eye, and many things that she didn't care about before now seem to be full of doubts.
For example, the guest who has lived in seclusion at Shuijing Lake for many years.
"Mother, I went to the South Island today to pick flowers and passed through Shuijing Lake, and I happened to see the firefly fox fairy in the bamboo forest stroking the qin. ”
Qi Huang came to the cloud platform where the island owner's wife meditated and rested with a newly planted basket of flowers, and asked casually: "I don't know how long he has been living in seclusion in Penglai?"
The island owner's wife didn't open her eyes, she still closed her eyes and recuperated, and said lightly: "I can't remember this clearly, it was Lin'er who brought the firefly back at the beginning, and she must have been more clear in her heart." ”
Qi Huang almost thought that she had heard it wrong, she had always thought that the cultivation of the Firefly Fox Immortal in Penglai was the instruction of the tolerant and fraternity of the island owner, but it turned out to be the meaning of Luolin?
Besides, Li Shuyu said before that the Firefly Fox Immortal has some relationship with Sleeveless, and the reason why Sleeveless will cultivate the Ten Thousand Armies Listening to the Talisman to disturb the Three Realms is also very likely to be for the Firefly Fox Immortal......
Could it be that Luolin took the Firefly Fox Immortal in Penglai for the sake of Sleeveless?! What happened to her and Sleeveless, and what kind of feelings did she have for Sleeveless?
The more Qi Huang thought about it, the cooler her heart became, she decorated the flowers, left the cloud platform with a natural expression, and then went straight to Shuijing Lake. In the bamboo courtyard by the Shuijing Lake, the firefly fox fairy is sitting by the carp pond and playing chess alone, his back is straight, his eyes are focused, and his right hand holding a son is hanging in the air, and it has not fallen for a long time. Qi Huang observed on Xingyun for a while, and saw that he had no intention of stopping, so he simply jumped down lightly from the clouds, and landed on the opposite side of the chessboard, smiling lightly and saying to the stunned fox fairy: "It's not interesting to play chess alone, why don't I accompany you to play." ”
"Immortals?"
The chess pieces in the hands of the firefly fox fairy were frightened and fell, he was a little caught off guard, he didn't know what to do for a while, and was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Qihuang raising his hand.
"There's no need to be formal, I'm not the first time I've come back to you, so why be so polite. ”
Only then did the fox fairy sit down again, and said with a smile: "It's me who is too restrained." ”
Qi Huang watched the Firefly Fox Immortal carefully put away all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said in his words: "But I didn't come this time just to play chess. ”
"Oh?" Hotaru said with a look of deafness, "Are you looking for me?"
"It's not a big deal. Qi Huang picked up a black jade chess piece and rested it on the chessboard, and said lightly: "I heard my mother say today that it was Lin'er who took you back to Penglai to recuperate and practice?"
A trace of ripples appeared on the face of the Firefly Fox Immortal, but it quickly disappeared, he nodded, and said gratefully: "Yes, it was Luolin Shangxian who took pity on me and took me back to Immortal Island to practice." ”
Qi Huang keenly caught the ripples, and decided that he had some ulterior secrets, so he was naturally unwilling to let him go, and asked step by step: "The Emperor of Heaven has always pursued the principle of preferring to kill rather than let go, so there are many unjust prisoners in the water prison of the Heavenly Palace, and you are not the only one who has been seriously injured.
The Firefly Fox Immortal was silent for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "This is probably only known to the Immortal herself." ”
The more she avoided the important and light, the more Qi Huang was sure of her inner guess, she knew that the firefly fox was determined to conceal it, and his mouth would definitely not be able to pry open today, so she didn't continue to ask, only gently threw the chess pieces in her hand in front of the firefly fox fairy, got up and said coolly: "It's okay, I'll always know." ”
The last time Li Sixiu left Penglai, he looked weird, and he didn't even show a trace of affection for the ancestor Firefly Fox Immortal, Li Shuyu didn't say it clearly at the time, but Qi Huang could learn more or less from Qi Feng's past letters that Li Shuyu and Li Sixiu, the two little foxes from Lingyuan, were not very close to the Firefly Fox Immortal. Beasts are the most sensitive to bloodlines, especially foxes who live in small groups in the spiritual abyss, and they value blood relatives even more, so how can they be wary of firefly fox immortals......?
The sudden thought made Qi Huang feel excited. As far as she knew, the Firefly Fox Immortal was just a mountain wild fox before his ascension, and although he was protected by Lingzhi and ascended, his mind was not enlightened, so he couldn't speak and do things like a human immortal. The Emperor of Heaven has always looked down on the beast immortals, and almost all the beast immortals after the ascension were thrown to the purple pole immortal Weng for education, and the firefly fox practiced at the purple immortal Weng for a hundred years after the ascension, and then he was given an errand to be responsible for the trivial chores of the heavenly palace, so why did he behave decently and talk in the first year of coming to Penglai, and even had the elegance of playing chess and stroking the qin?
Yes, if Sleeveless cares most about the Firefly Fox Immortal, then now the Firefly Fox is quite courteous in Penglai's peace of mind retreat, he will not come here to accompany him, nor bring him back to Sanssouci Valley, but will involve the Three Realms in the war because of a misjudgment of the Emperor earlier, which is unjustifiable anyway.
In other words, this firefly fox is not a real firefly fox, and the real firefly fox is probably ......
"No......" Qi Huang shook his head, overturned his guess, and said to himself: "The Firefly Fox Immortal has entered the immortal register, and life and death are recorded. Besides, if he is dead, why does Luo Lin still toss this fake, who is she trying to deceive with this fake?"
Sleeveless, but Sleeveless had already begun to cultivate the Ten Thousand Armies' Listening to the Talisman, and it was obvious that Penglai was a fake; the Heavenly Emperor had many suspects in the water prison, and it was impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to care about the life or death of a little beast god; Lingyuan Fox, those little beasts that might never come out of it in their lifetime, Luo Lin would not take it seriously at all......
Unless......
Unless the disappearance of the Firefly Fox Immortal is directly related to her, this must not be known to Sleeveless, so the Emperor of Heaven has become her scapegoat. In the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven, the firefly fox made a small mistake and was imprisoned, but fortunately Luolin took pity on him, and now he is still living in Penglai. In the viewless view, the Emperor of Heaven has killed the real firefly fox, but he asked Luo Lin to use this fake to hide people's eyes.
In this way, all of Luo Lin's strange actions can be explained, why she suddenly showed great mercy to help the "Firefly Fox Immortal", and why she did not hesitate to attack the Heavenly Palace.
If this is the case, then Luo Lin is the main culprit that caused the dispute between the Three Realms.
In order to confirm this suspicion, Qi Huang must immediately find the real Hotaru who is missing, and with her knowledge of Luolin, Luolin is extremely controlling, and will definitely hide important things within her control. The demon world is not her territory, and hiding in the demon world will definitely be discovered by the sleeveless; although the human world is vast, there are many living beings, and they may be exposed at any time; that is to say, the three worlds of heaven and earth can really make Luolin feel at ease, only Penglai is the only one who can really make Luolin feel at ease.
Penglai is divided into inner islands and outer islands, and the outer islands are divided into four islands, east and west, north and south, the island owner Qilin lives on the inner island, and guests and creatures such as herons and beasts live on the outer island. Luolin's residence on the inner island is a beautiful attic, which she built on the center of the lake with immortal power a few years before she married Qihuang to Penglai. There is an enchantment outside the attic, and birds, animals, flowers, birds, insects, and fish are not allowed to enter, even the owner and his wife have never entered.
Although Qi Huang and Luo Lin have known each other since childhood, and they are also Luo Lin's sister-in-law in terms of family relations, but since Luo Lin fought Qi Feng at her wedding that year, her relationship with Luo Lin's sister-in-law has not been very harmonious, even if they eat at the same table, they don't say a word. So it was the first time she had been close to Luolin's attic, and she didn't know anything about the situation inside the barrier.
Stopping outside the barrier, Qi Huang told herself for the last time that once she touched the barrier, there would be no turning circle between her and Luolin, and whether or not she could find the Hotaru Immortal, this sister and her would be on opposite ends of the enemy.
"Seven flowers are absolutely dusty, now. ”
A rope full of golden flames and shining with colorful divine light emerged from Qi Huang's palm, and she took a deep breath, threw the rope into the air, and shouted "Break"! The enchantment shrouded outside the attic was instantly like a glass that had been hit hard, and it was torn apart and turned into silver smoke and scattered.
"What's wrong?"
Thousands of miles away, the sleeveless turned his head and asked Luolin, who suddenly stopped descending to the clouds: "There are chasing soldiers?"
"Nope. Luolin's beautiful face was covered with frost, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly, "It looks like I'm going home." ”
"The Owner found out that you were with me?" Sleeveless raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. Luo Linpi smiled and didn't smile, "That sister-in-law of my family seems to have touched something that shouldn't be touched, I have to go back and have a good talk with her." ”
