"Aunt Li, you are an old traveler. I have two questions I would like to ask you." Qin Yao suddenly said.
Aunt Li was still smiling from ear to ear, and her voice rose unconsciously: "You are too polite. Please ask me, but I will answer everything I know."
Influenced by her, Qin Yao couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and asked: "Auntie, have you ever heard of the Godswood Forest and Qilin Cave?"
He remembered that in Xianyi's original work, the five spirit beads were earth, thunder, wind, fire, and water.
Now he has collected the three spiritual beads of earth, thunder and water, leaving only the two beads of wind and fire that he has not yet obtained.
If nothing else, the Wind Lingzhu is at the top of the sacred forest, guarded by the mythical beast Golden-winged Phoenix; the Fire Lingzhu should be in the Qilin Cave in Dali, guarded by the mythical beast Fire Qilin.
The problem is that he only knows the place names, but does not know the approximate locations of these two places. Without guidance, it may be very troublesome to find them.
"I know about the Godswood Forest. I heard that there are phoenixes there. When I was young, I tried to go there, but unfortunately I found nothing. As for the Kirin Cave, I don't know about it. Although I have been to Dali, there is no way that the cave is hidden in the city.
Inside." Aunt Li said.
"It's okay to have the location of the sacred forest." Qin Yao smiled and said, "Auntie, is there a map here?"
"What kind of map do you want? Auntie is a living map." Li Xiaoyao smiled and said coquettishly.
Aunt Li knew that this guy was used to being wild, and it would be more uncomfortable to confine him in this small inn than to kill him, so she said: "Forget it, the inn is not very busy now anyway, I will take you there."
Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Stop saying nice things. If you really want to thank me, send me a big fat boy by this time next year." Aunt Li said angrily.
Li Xiaoyao scratched his head, unable to bear the topic, so he said instead: "How will the three of us get there? Riding horses or wielding swords?"
"Let's go on my servant god." Qin Yao said, taking out the three-pointed two-edged sword directly from his ear.
"Can we sit down too?" Xiang Liu's huge body and ferocious snake head flashed through his mind quickly, and Li Xiaoyao was both excited and frightened.
"Of course." Qin Yao said with a smile: "But in order to prevent scaring others, this is not a good place for Xiang Liu to show up..."
at the same time.
Shi Gonghu, who was living in the open air, took Tang Yu, A Nu, and a group of disciples into the Nanzhao King's city.
The informants of the Moon Worship Cult who were wandering around the royal city discovered them and reported them to the headquarters step by step, so that the leader of the Moon Worship Cult quickly received the news and appeared on the streets.
From the moment he appeared, wherever he passed, no matter who he was, everyone would drop everything they were doing and bow to him.
The whole world seems to have been pressed on the pause button, as quiet as a painting. It will not be until Baiyue walks out of this area that the people in this area will "come alive".
Finally, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult came to Shi Gonghu and his party, and the surrounding streets fell silent for an instant.
"Father, you are back." The two sides looked at each other, and the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult greeted him softly.
Shi Gonghu quietly looked at the former adopted son whose mouth was already full of beard, and took a deep breath: "Can't I come back?"
"Why not? Of course." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult said calmly: "I'm just curious about why you came back. In my expectation, even if you come back, you shouldn't be so upright."
Shi Gonghu: "I am selfless at heart, why can't I be honest?"
Moon Worshiping Leader: "In my opinion, selflessness is not a very good virtue. It was precisely because of your selflessness that I became what I am today; a bad person in your eyes."
Shi Gonghu looked directly into his eyes and said, "So, I'm here to bring order to the chaos."
The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult paused and slowly opened his arms: "This city and this country have completely surrendered to my rule. Foster father, what are you going to do to bring order to the chaos?"
Shi Gonghu said in a solemn voice: "Just because you call me foster father instead of...an old thief."
Baiyue was stunned and slowly lowered his arms.
"Give me and them a place to live. The environment should be better." Shi Gonghu pointed at Tang Yu, Anu, and the disciples behind him, and said unceremoniously.
Surprisingly, Baiyue was very respectful and turned around and said, "Follow me. I have a house outside the palace. It is cleaned every day, but I don't live there permanently. It is just for you to rest."
"Tang Yu, Xiaobao, it's so strange." Anu said softly, holding Tang Yu's lapel and walking slowly at the back.
"Shh." Tang Yu raised his right hand, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture: "Stop talking at this time, be honest."
At the front of the crowd.
The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult moved his ears slightly, listening to the conversation between the two of them, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.
Although the two people's whispers were very quiet, they did not say any valuable information.
But he was very attentive and could see many things just from the attitudes of the two people, such as hostility, fear, forbearance, ulterior secrets, and ulterior motives.
But that's okay.
Since they want to play, then just accompany them.
Take a good look at what kind of drama they are singing!
Two days later.
Godswood.
Along with the appearance of a golden flame that burned most of the forest, the gleaming phoenix was forcefully beaten back to the crater by a terrifying hydra monster, and lay flat on the magma.
"Hand over the Wind Spirit Pearl and I will spare your life."
Xiang Liu looked down into the volcano and said coldly.
The golden-winged phoenix continued to absorb the fire energy from the magma to replenish its mana, and screamed: "The Wind Spirit Pearl is inside this volcano. If you are able, come in and get it yourself."
Qin Yao flew up, slowly landed on Xiang Liu's head, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you use the Wind Spirit Pearl to practice?"
Golden-winged Phoenix wanted to delay time and regain energy, so he said cooperatively: "No."
"Since you can't, then why are you guarding this spiritual bead?" Qin Yao asked.
"Of course, it is to prevent people like you with ulterior motives from getting it." Golden Winged Phoenix said righteously.
"Why do you think I have ulterior motives?" Qin Yao was puzzled.
The golden-winged phoenix asked, "Which good person would accept an evil beast as a spiritual pet?"
Qin Yao laughed dumbly: "Have you never heard of Buddhism? They have many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who accept evil monsters from the world as mounts. On the one hand, it is to prevent them from continuing to do evil, and on the other hand, it is to enhance their own strength or leg power."
"There are no good people in Xitian." This golden-winged phoenix treated everyone equally and said flatly.
Qin Yao was stunned.
Is it really okay for you to say that?
etc……
Qin Yao remembered that in the TV series Fairy Sword, the golden-winged phoenix that took Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er to Fairy Island was summoned by Lin Qing'er.
This time point is later than the time when he and Uncle Jiu traveled through time. Even if there is any causal relationship and any butterfly impact, it must be from the time point when they traveled back, not forward.
In other words, the golden-winged phoenix may have established a relationship with Lin Qing'er at this time. With Lin Qing'er's relationship and Nuwa's blessing, it really doesn't need to be afraid of Xitian Buddhism.
"Bah!"
At this time, the golden-winged phoenix continued to be filled with energy from the magma, its neck roared, and it rushed out of the crater to fight for its life with Xiang Liu.
"Fenghuang, do you know Lin Qing'er?" Qin Yao suddenly shouted loudly.
The golden-winged phoenix, which rushed towards Qin Yao with thunderous momentum, suddenly froze in the air and said in shock: "You also know Lin Qing'er?"
"It's more than just acquaintance." Qin Yao said with a strange expression: "She and I are somewhat related."
Golden-winged Phoenix paused slightly and said suspiciously: "How do you know that I am related to Lin Qing'er?"
"Of course she told me accidentally, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to fight with Xiang Liu just now." Qin Yao explained.
This explanation made sense. Phoenix believed it and said slowly: "Even if you are a relative of Lin Qing'er, I can't give you the Wind Spirit Pearl easily."
Qin Yao's eyes flashed and he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't trust me, but you should trust her biological daughter, right?"
"Biological daughter?" Phoenix asked, "Where is she?"
"In Jinling City, I can take you to find her right now." Qin Yao said without hesitation.
Phoenix thought for a while, then gradually calmed down the flames outside his body, and said: "You guys sit on my back, and I will take you to Aurous Hill..."
"Ah?" Aunt Li blinked in the woods, feeling very suddenly: "I want to go to Jinling too?"
Qin Yao put away Xiangliu, flew on Phoenix's back, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to go see your niece-in-law?"
"Yes, why don't you want to?" Aunt Li said without thinking.
"Then let's hit the road, Xiaoyao, bring your aunt up." Qin Yao waved.
A few days later.
late at night.
The gleaming golden phoenix descended from the sky and fell into the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, causing a sound of window openings.
Soon, Zhao Ling'er, Nanny Zheng, and several servants walked out of the room and came to Fenghuang.
"He is indeed a descendant of the Nuwa tribe." Golden-winged Phoenix stared at Zhao Linger and said.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Qin Yao confused: "Brother Qin, what is it?"
"He is your mother's friend." Qin Yao flew down with Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Li, and introduced Aunt Li to Ling'er.
"Is Lin Qing'er okay now?" Golden Winged Phoenix asked.
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and sighed: "My mother went to Yuanjiang with Senior Jiujianxian to explore the Immortal Mansion, but she has not returned yet."
"What happened? Why do you want to go to such a dangerous place?" Golden Winged Phoenix asked.
Zhao Ling'er was about to tell everything about the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult.
"I'll go to Yuanjiang to find your mother." After hearing that Xiang Liu couldn't defeat the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, Golden Winged Phoenix immediately gave up the idea of showing off and said in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute..." Qin Yao raised his hand and said, "Before leaving, can you leave the Wind Lingzhu behind?"
Golden-winged Phoenix looked at him, then looked at Zhao Ling'er, and asked in a solemn voice: "Girl, what is your relationship with him?"
Zhao Ling'er's cheeks turned red, but she knew what the phoenix meant, so she suppressed her shyness and said, "I am his fiancée."
"Fiancée, fiancé..." Golden Winged Phoenix hesitated for a moment and said, "This status allows me to inherit the Wind Lingzhu."
After saying this, it opened its mouth and spit out an orb that released bluish-white light and slowly fell towards Qin Yao.
Qin Yao took the orb in his hand and watched the phoenix quickly turn into light and go away, feeling suddenly strange in his heart.
Inexplicably, I feel like eating soft rice...
"Bad boy, where is your wife?" Seeing Qin Yao get a treasure because of his fiancée, Aunt Li immediately raised her elbow and poked Li Xiaoyao.
"She's not here. How about I take you to find her tomorrow morning?" Li Xiaoyao rubbed the ribs that were hurt by her collision and silently distanced herself from her.
"Okay." Even though Aunt Li was anxious, she also knew that it was not a good idea to disturb people's dreams at night.
"Aunt Zheng, please arrange a room for my aunt." Seeing that she agreed, Li Xiaoyao immediately said to Aunt Zheng.
Aunt Zheng nodded slightly and came to Aunt Li with a smile on her face: "Please follow me."
"Sorry to bother you," Aunt Li said politely.
After Shao Qing watched the two people leave, Li Xiaoyao took out the water spirit bead from his arms and handed it to Qin Yao: "Dao Zhang Qin, do you think this bead is what you need?"
"Exactly, thank you, Xiaoyao." Qin Yao reached out to catch the orb and thanked him sincerely.
"I've seen you outside, I've seen you outside."
Li Xiaoyao smiled and waved his hands: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go back to sleep. My aunt will definitely wake me up early tomorrow morning."
"No more, go ahead." Qin Yao smiled.
"I have obtained four of the five spirit beads, and there is still one left."
After Li Xiaoyao left, Zhao Ling'er took the initiative to hold Qin Yao's hand: "Let's go find the last one together."
Qin Yao held her hand instead and made his promise for the first time: "After settling the matter of worshiping the moon, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, three letters and six engagements, eight sedans... I will marry you."
"Really?" Zhao Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up, as happy as a child.
Qin Yao couldn't help but laugh, and held her hand tightly: "Of course it's true, a promise worth a thousand gold!"
Zhao Ling'er smiled brightly: "Let's go find the Fire Lingzhu now, I can't wait..."
In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
Dali, Yunnan.
Qin Yao and Ling'er walked hand in hand through high mountains and consulted countless woodcutters and passers-by in the mountains, but they never got any information about Qilin Cave.
"Does it mean that we have to take Li Xiaoyao with us?"
At sunset, Qin Yao and Zhao Ling'er sat on the top of a mountain, with the sky above their heads filled with red clouds. They watched the sunset gradually set and murmured softly together.
"What?" Zhao Ling'er didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.
Qin Yao pursed his lips and said: "I say, we may not have a chance with this fire spirit bead."
"How could it be?" Zhao Ling'er said gently: "This is just a small test. After all, if we take away the Fire Spirit Pearl when we arrive, there will be problems if it goes smoothly."
Qin Yao laughed and said, "You have actually learned to comfort people."
Seeing him smiling, Ling'er also laughed and said with some pride: "It seems the effect is not bad."
"Pretty good."
Seeing her pretty face so close at hand, Qin Yao's Adam's apple squirmed slightly, lowered his head, and slowly approached her.
Lin Qing'er said that you can't have sex before getting married, but she didn't say that you can't do anything before getting married.
Such a beautiful scene on such a beautiful day, with a beautiful lady smiling all over the city. If we remain indifferent, wouldn’t we be disappointed?
