Chapter Thirty-Nine: Finally Coming True But Grounded
"Sister Ying'er, grandmother told you to go back!" After a while, the girl in pink also looked for her along the unique mark made by Xuanying.
Hearing this, she wiped away her tears, faded out of her own long and profound memories, and said lightly to the woman in green who was still holding her:
"It seems that the plan will not work out. Ying'er, let's go back. ”
"Sister Ying'er, I did exactly what you told me. I took your form seriously, and faked your voice to feed my grandmother gel. I thought it was seamless, but before I could speak in front of my grandmother, she saw through it and scolded me, saying that I would ask me to go back to you. ”
The girl in pink fell and came to Xuanying's side and explained to her aggrievedly.
"Shadow, this has nothing to do with your transformation technique, this was originally the guess I wanted to make. I stay in this sea of flowers, one is nostalgic, and the other is waiting for you. If you don't come for an hour, it proves that my grandmother can't detect my whereabouts. The plan is business as usual. And so you came......"
Wanying looked directly at the pink-clothed girl's pupil and said coldly.
"Are you saying that Grandmother set up a tracking spell on you early on? Oh, I thought it was all about me who broke you. But don't blame your grandmother, she cares about you out of sheer concern. The shadow's eyes flickered, and the look of guilt was completely gone.
Wanying was silent, neither sure nor negative, and after a while, she waited until the tingling pain in her body had faded a lot, and then she cast a Teng technique and slowly rose into the air, still saying coldly: "Go back." ”
After about half an hour, the three of them returned to the courtyard of Lingxu Palace.
This courtyard that lasted for 400 years, the architectural furnishings have not changed, only the green plants in this garden can no longer be called green plants, the trees are bare, the vines are bare, the grass is gone, and the fairy land is also bare.
Such a lifeless scene reflects the physical condition of the palace god - the time for the goddess of the egret to return to the dust is close at hand.
"Sister Ying'er, how is Grandmother?" Ying'er asked as she walked towards the main hall as she helped Wan'er.
"I was about to say it, she was angry, this time is different, Sister Ying'er should be careful. ”
After Ying'er finished speaking, she immediately took a step, ran to the depths of the hall first, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Grandmother, grandmother, be relieved, Sister Ying'er is back, back!"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Xu Yu hummed, stretched his face, and opened his eyes hard, but he still only saw nothingness.
The old goddess of Lingxu Palace is not decently old, her skin is so loose that it can't be looser, and her hair is so white that it can't be whiter. The five senses are almost gone, and only the ear and tongue are still slightly used.
"Ying'er, Ying'er, I really want to kick you to understand, but, but I can't lift my legs. Shadow, for me, for me, hit her hard, hit her!hey, hey!" Xu Yu's unusually solid voice made it clear to everyone inside and outside the door. All three of them shuddered: it seems that the grandmother is really angry this time.
After the shadow was excited, she looked left and right and did not dare to act rashly, she secretly wondered: how could she make the order she gave at this time?
Xu Yu was sitting now, and she didn't hear the movement immediately, and she wanted to stand up and do it herself, but she tried to move her legs with all her strength, but she didn't move.
"Grandmother, grandmother, don't be angry, Ying'er is not good, Ying'er shouldn't sneak out without knowing you, but I have received his favor for 400 years, and I have suffered from him for 400 years, and this favor can finally be cleaned up in pairs, so I can't wait for the birth of my true body today. I want to get back what belongs to me and serve my grandmother wholeheartedly!"
The sound of the silk lingering came, and he slipped out with a "plop" and knelt in front of Xu Yu.
If the hour comes, and Shadow does not come back from her, she will really follow what she told Ying'er beforehand: Shadow dragged her grandmother for three hours, and she hurried back to Yunfu to find him, begging him to get her things back no matter what, and convert them to Grandmother—I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late!
She leaned half of her body on her grandmother's trembling legs, and stretched out her hands to hold her grandmother's tangled and angry cheeks: "Grandmother, I'm sorry. ”
"You coax me, you pry them to coax me together! You are completely useless when I am confused, aren't you? You have just been born restless and disobedient? How many times have I said, I don't want your methods, I don't want to be young! I voluntarily return to the dust to find your grandfather, why bother to take the risk of provoking him in advance!"
Xu Yu didn't know where to fight the mental strength, not only pierced Wanying's mind at once, but she also said so many words without beating for the first time, and finally struggled to raise her arm and cut off Xuanying's hand:
"Ying'er, Ying'er, come, Guan Ying'er's grounding for forty-nine days! If you dare to detain her for one day, I will drive you out of the palace, and don't recognize me as a grandmother again!"
"Yes, Ying'er knows her mistakes, Ying'er knows her mistakes! Grandmother, collect your breath, beware of the loss of what little cultivation you have left, and Ying'er will go back to the bedroom!"
The corner of her eyes never left the two sisters, and seeing that they were going to do it eventually, she smiled coldly, took the first step to hide her face and retreated, and quickly walked back to her bedroom.
After she finally calmed down, she felt a lot of pain in her knee.
She bent down and rubbed her hands for a while before it was relieved, and she lifted her long skirt to expose her knees, and the pain was already red and swollen: "Real body, it's pain." ”
She straightened up, opened her palm and shone again and again at the light of the window, no longer as clear as before, pale and bloodless skin, delicate and shiny: "The real body is opaque." ”
She ran to the bronze mirror and looked at it, and it was a real human form: a beautiful face, a slender figure, and a gentle and gentle temperament.
Wanying was really amazed by such a self: "The real body is beautiful." ”
"Gollum~Gollum~. - A sound in her stomach that she had never felt before: "The real body, it's hunger." ”
Wanying pressed her squeezing her shriveled stomach, and the feeling of hunger for the first time made her dizzy. Uncomfortable, she curled up in the corner of the bed and closed her eyes to rest. The first time she felt so stiff that she turned over and curled up over there, and after a while she rolled over and curled up back here.
She didn't know how long it was, but she always felt that this time it was a long time, and there were footsteps outside the bedroom, and she waited motionless for someone to speak.
"Sister Ying'er, we both forgot that after you have cultivated your true body today, you will need three meals, and meals and water are indispensable. If you are hungry and thirsty for a long time, you will die, oh, bah, bah, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said such unlucky words!"
"Sister Ying'er, you also know that my sister is really not good at cooking, I barely made some pancake soup, and the taste is not as delicious as what you make for us on weekdays. Then you will eat some of it, and in the next dozens of days, you will be wronged. It was the voice of the shadow that spoke later.
"How's Grandmother? She sat up and poked her head out of the window, looking at the sisters with hope.
When the two sisters saw this, they came out of the door to the window where she was leaning.
Sister Ying'er didn't answer her first, but deliberately put the food box on the table next to the window in the bedroom first, and only after withdrawing her hand did she shake her head at Wanying and sighed:
"Hey, that's it. My grandmother only ordered me to invite the queen of heaven to come over on the evening of the forty-ninth day anyway. I've been guessing for a long time, but I haven't guessed what kind of medicine is sold in her old gourd?"
"In our opinion, my grandmother has always been arbitrary. Although we are the immortals cultivated by the egret she personally promoted, and have served by her old side for more than 200 years, she has never said a word to us from beginning to end. But Dudu always has tricks that can't be taught to my sister, endless gossip, and endless advice. Hey, people of the same clan and different clans can't match my sister's relatives after all. ”
Ying'er's deliberate ignorance, deliberate clichés, and Ying'er's inadvertent jealousy and dissatisfaction are all in the bottom of Ying's eyes. She is very clear about what their sisters do, say, think, and think.
Two hundred years ago, when these two sisters of the Zhengxian rank first came, the words of the grandmother's secret teaching clearly echoed in their ears:
"Ying'er, you must know that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others. Just now, I talked to the queen of heaven to talk to myself, and between the words, I was concerned about whether you were alone here, and I replied yes, so I asked for these two kindreds. But it's not that you can't do it, on the contrary, you do it very well. This time, leaving them is really to train your ability to see, recognize and use people, and you must always empathize to read the hearts of others. ”
She knew her grandmother's good intentions, but she really couldn't make up for her insincere hypocrisy and inconsistent pretentiousness,—— she didn't want to deceive people anymore.
"I can't eat this food if I take it. Wanying smelled the burnt smell coming from the food box and shook her face directly. If you forget something, you will be deliberate, if you can't do it, you will be lazy, and if you can't do it, you will not want to.
The shadow who was debunked but thought she was doing a good job, only when Wanying was in a bad mood, she hesitated a little, but also said something "real": "Sister, eat some, we can't communicate with grandmother and queen of heaven when we are hungry." ”
"Yes, yes, the queen of heaven can tell us to take good care of you!" Ying'er echoed casually.
Wanying couldn't stand their fake faces anymore, she picked up the food box and forced it to the one in pink clothes, and closed the window with a "clang", blocking her and them as quickly as possible.
But she was not angry, angry, or angry, she only had a slight loss, and in the past 400 years, her grandmother had taught her great forbearance, tolerance, and patience.
When they were gone, she flicked her fingers and cast a spell on her ear as usual. When she was done, she was dizzy and hesitant, so she had to stumble back onto the couch again, and just close her eyes she overheard a few conversations that were fading away.
"Phew, she really thinks she's a princess, she'll stretch her face with us all the time, as if we all owe her, if it weren't for the queen's decree, why would we lower our status and serve her, a goblin who is not like a fairy!" Shadow's voice.
"Sister, what do you say her original form is? What is she going to Yunfu to get back? Is she really going to make that old thing young again? If you want to say that we are of the same race, she never eats fish and insects. If you want to say that it's not our own race, but there is still some smell of our blood, is it really as this old woman said that she is a special, rare species?" Ying'er's voice.
