Chapter 774, Qilin Guard

Seeing that Luo Xiaocheng seemed to be sad in his heart, and regularly remembered his deceased wife, Luo Xiaocheng has always been a free and uninhibited reckless man. When Luo Xiaocheng was with everyone, he was like a strong backing most of the time. He never hides behind something. But when everyone dispersed, he liked to find some eaves and rooftops to drink alone with the moon. Ran Qianluo had seen him crying over the moon more than once, and he wanted to speak repeatedly, but he felt that it was inappropriate. After all, a man like him is unwilling to show his weakness in front of others. But his mood can be understood.

The bleakest thing in this world is that two people who love each other forever and never see each other again.

In fact, after his feast and laughter, only he understands how many sad tears are hidden. But he is also a person who is unwilling to accept his fate. He traveled all over the world, from south to north, stepping on every inch of the land of the Earth and Shenzhou. The Arctic Ice Field, the Restless Valley, every time is an escape from death, just for the sake of a short seven-day encounter with his deceased wife. For these seven days, he has paid an infinite amount. Ran Tianluo lamented in his heart, if there is such a person who cares about him all the time, no matter the vicissitudes of life and the difficult road ahead, he will unswervingly pursue the moment of reunion. What a blessing that would be. In fact, Luo Xiaocheng is also a person who really knows how to love. And his love is as steady as Mount Tai.

"The eldest brother thinks of his sister-in-law again. ”

Luo Xiaocheng didn't answer, looked at the place where the sky and water met with shadows, and said gloomily: "Many years ago, Wanzhen didn't know where she heard that pearls were produced in Xichuan Qiongchi, and at that time we were traveling north of Lingnan, so she wanted to come here to find a big pearl, saying that it was useful. So I came with her. At that time, Qiongchi remained the same as it is now, and it did not change at all. In search of that pearl, I swam through almost every body of water. He smiled suddenly, as if the sweet things of the past sounded.

After searching for more than 200 pearls in a row, she finally jumped out of them the pearl that she was most satisfied with, which was a red blood pearl. It was not the largest or the most valuable of the two hundred pearls, but she chose it alone. ”

Ran Tianluo asked curiously, "But why is that?"

Luo Xiaocheng smiled, took out a small bag from his body, and then took out a paper bag from the small bag, and the four corners of the paper bag were revealed, and then he finally saw the contents of the paper bag. It turned out to be a bloodstone jade pendant, and the red color of the jade pendant was very uniform, which was really rare. And the carving is exquisite. Luo Xiaocheng stroked it lightly and handed it to Ran Tianluo, who took it carefully, only to see that the side book of the red jade pendant had two seal characters, one was 'Luo' and the other was 'Xia'. And the rope beneath the bloodstone was adorned with a blood-red pearl.

Luo Xiaocheng said: "I didn't expect that she asked for pearls to make this for me." ”

"This must be my sister-in-law's love affair with you. She smiled slightly, carefully handed it back, Luo Xiaocheng took it back, and nodded. I took a closer look, then gently wrapped it in paper, put it in a bag, and put it in my arms.

"The past is still vivid. Luo Xiaocheng smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about it, it's important for us to hurry." Don't mention these trivial things. ”

Ran Tianluo nodded and said, "My sister-in-law must be very happy, because there is someone who loves her so much." She's been so lucky. ”

Luo Xiaocheng smiled and waved his hand, noncommittal.

Qin Ji looked at the calm lake and said to everyone: "Brother Luo Speaking of pearls, I remembered one thing, if you find a gift in this Qiongchi, then entering Shennong Valley will be much smoother." ”

Han Lun said strangely: "Isn't this Shennong Valley the residence of the great god Shennong, and this god also likes to receive gifts?" ”

Qin Ji said: "It's not for Lord Shennong." You have the right to wait. She walked slowly towards the void of Qiongchi with her ten fingers slightly open, and the ends of her slender nails turned into seven long silver threads. The silver thread stretched into the water, Qin Ji's dress fluttered, and the seven silver threads were used as seven strings, just listening to its gentle plucking, a splash of water burst on the water surface, and the originally calm water suddenly became extremely uncalm. After a while, they saw a large piece of black spreading up from the bottom of the water and waiting for it to surface, and everyone saw that it was actually a large piece of swimming fish, of different sizes. But no matter how big or small the fish are, they all have a pearl in their mouths. As the fish dispersed, she walked out of the water and chose among the eager fish. Soon, she picked a pearl the size of a lychee from the mouth of a large carp. The pearl was pinkish-white with a hint of rose. It is the best of pearls.

After Kotohime retrieved the pearl, the fish suddenly plunged into the water again and scattered. The water surface was also quiet in an instant. Han Lun applauded and said, "The carp offering pearls, today is really a long experience." ”

Qin Ji smiled: "It's just that I understand the language of fish, I asked them to do a favor, but it is also the creatures here who give Qin Ji this face." She slowly spread her hand and said, "That's it." You don't know, there are four exits in Shennong Valley, and the one we are going to face is the entrance to the west, and the entrance is guarded by the divine beast unicorn. This unicorn in the west is a good edible pearl with a very unique taste. If you can satisfy the taste of the divine beast, it is naturally not difficult to get in. ”

Suddenly, she put away the pearls, and the group headed east again. The lake and the mountains, the water and the sky are connected, the distant mountains are hazy, hidden in the line. The swimming fish embroidered the blue sky and floating clouds on the water, but the breeze blew and the mirror lake was slightly wrinkled. It is more than 100 miles wide. The group lingered in the beautiful scenery, and unconsciously slowed down, until they flew up to the clouds, and then increased their speed.

When we arrived outside Shennong Valley, it was almost sunset. The remnant sun shines obliquely, far and near, very wonderful, and the entrance of Shennong Valley is also incomparably majestic, and everyone can't help but marvel when they see it.

The entrance of Shennong Valley is in a deep mountain canyon, and there is a stone statue carved on both sides of the canyon entrance, which is more than dozens of zhang high, and the whole mountain is carved, and it is a huge thing. The statue is for two old men, kind and majestic, standing opposite each other, the staff in their hands crossed under the sky, looking along the light of the slanting sun, only to see that the staff is already a blur, but the edge is shining, more magical.

When the group walked into the canyon, they saw that the trees on both sides were lush and leafy. The view above the canyon is obscured by trees, leaving only a glimmer of sky in many places. As Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" describes the Three Gorges, it says: "The two sides of the strait are connected with mountains, and there is no place for them; "It's no different from ice here.

After walking in this canyon for a long time, I saw that the light was getting darker and darker, firstly because the trees here were getting more and more lush, and secondly, it should be completely sunset outside. This valley was full of strange rocks and strange trees, and it was difficult to walk on a soul beast, so a few people entered on foot. Anyway, they have already arrived at the door, and they are not in a hurry at this time. What's more, Kotohime is not a stranger to this place, and there is no need to worry about getting lost. In Ran Tianluo's world, there is no day and night, because day and night, like night, are just a gray and white world outlined by lines in her eyes, but at night there is no need to worry about not being able to see the road. So even at night, the group didn't stop, but continued to walk inside.

After a while, if there was a light in the distance ahead, everyone saw this light, and they had an expectation in their hearts, maybe it was the real entrance. Speed up and approach the light. When they got closer, everyone realized that it was not the entrance. It turned out to be a unicorn beast wrapped in a silver light cluster. The unicorn was playing with some glowing elves around him at night, and when he saw that his movements were extremely fast, his body moved, and suddenly he jumped from the valley to the tree in the mountainside, pacing slightly, and his body moved again, and as if he was changing shapes, a phantom shadow dispersed like smoke, and the unicorn had already pounced on the elf under its claws. It stuck out its tongue and brushed the pixie's fluff, its paws retracted, and it arched its mouth with a childlike grin. The elf had flapped its wings and flown away, and the unicorn leaped to its feet and pounced on the other elf.

Everyone watched from afar, and saw that he was having a lot of fun. It's like a child's heart. Such a childish beast is rare. Everyone slowly approached, not yet alarming the Qilin Rui Beast, but not wanting to alarm the surrounding elves. When the elf saw someone coming, he immediately turned into white light and fled in all directions. The unicorn beast immediately put away its joking demeanor and shouted: "What kind of person, Shennong Valley is important, mortals, please return quickly." ”

The unicorn's voice is very well-behaved, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child who has not lost his childishness. But the voice was very loud and could be heard for ten miles.

"Lord Qilin, we have come from the realm of Hongya, and we have important things to do in Shennong Valley. Kotohime said slowly.

"Hongya Realm, are you gods?" the Qilin looked at the six people, shook his head and said, "No, no, none of you are gods. When he saw Kotohime, he suddenly paused again and said strangely, "Hey, I seem to have seen you." But I forgot when I saw it. ”

Qin Ji bowed and said, "Lord Kirin has a good memory. The last time I came here was hundreds of years ago. At that time, I came with my master, Mr. Hong Ya. ”

Qilin thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I think about it, it's really you, that old man with a long beard and eyebrows is fun, hey, why didn't he come?"

Qin Ji said: "The master has traveled all over the world, and I don't know how many years it will take to come back. Qin Ji arched her hand and said, "Please take a closer look at Lord Qilin, these people are not ordinary people." Kotohime vouches that there is indeed something wrong with entering the valley. ”

Qilin looked at everyone again, his eyes fell on Luo Xiaocheng's body, and said strangely: "Shennong's descendants, hey, it's the first time I've seen Shennong's descendants in so many years." ”
