Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 612: Yique Huanyuan (Part )

In a peaceful and quiet area of ​​water, Pei Ye slowly landed with the somewhat listless black cat and leaned against a large rock.

Since transforming into a cat, Black Chi has never been exhausted to such an extent.

Pei Ye gently stroked its ears. He himself was almost exhausted and had little energy left.

The cool and smooth water grass brushed against his cheek. He pulled off a bunch of it and wiped the blood on his skin. "Are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury." The black cat licked its drooping paw, which was covered in blood.

Pei Ye sat up cross-legged, trying to straighten his overloaded body: "Tell me, how could such a person have an opponent in Daming Palace?"

The black cat licked its paws and said nothing.

Yu Sicheng is indeed like an iron wall.

It stood in their way too abruptly and forcefully, cutting off all clues leading to deeper places.

Pei Ye originally intended to cut the Gordian knot on this matter. He did not expect others to be unaware of his entry into the palace, nor was he prepared to play a game of hiding and intrigue with the shadows within the palace walls.

Sometimes it is really necessary to sneak in alone, but now he has brought the Yanjian Order to investigate openly. It is difficult to do secret things with a bright candle, so it is better to do everything openly.

In this palace where the mysterious spiritual energy is forbidden, there are not many people and things that can stop him, and His Highness Jinyang's desire for the truth is a strong enough support.

Until he found out about Yu Sicheng.

Just as he was not afraid of exposing his purpose, the purple-robed eunuch seemed unafraid of people knowing that all this was related to him. He lived in this palace so calmly, casually wiping away the swords pointed at him.

Of course, he cannot be defeated in a verbal fight, and he is not in the court. It seems that there is little hope for a physical fight.

Pei Ye looked ahead silently, thoughts turning constantly in his mind. The tiny schools of fish tentatively swallowed and bit his flying blood fragments.

At this time, a gentle voice came from the side: "If you don't drink a flower, you will become deaf and blind again."

Pei Ye looked up in surprise, only to see the vague shadow sitting on the high stone again, leaning his hands on the stone and looking down at him.

There was still no face, let alone expression, and it was so vague that it seemed as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Pei Ye raised his hand and looked at his wrist, and the scales on it were indeed very light.

"..." Pei Ye stood up with the help of the stone wall and looked around, "Where are the flowers?"

"Can't you smell it?"

Pei Ye raised his nose to explore, frowned and shook his head.

Shadow seemed to be amused by him with a "puff", but the laughter was also very faint, as if in another world. She jumped down and floated in the water: "Then follow me."

She swam very lightly and nimbly, like a graceful jellyfish. Pei Ye picked up the kitten and followed her, constantly searching for the way through the grass.

"Hurry up and catch up." She turned and called softly while swimming, "When the scales on your wrist are gone, it will be difficult to find them. You can only swim while smelling with your nose - we don't keep puppies in the water."

"..."

After passing two tall rocks, the faint shadow finally stopped there, waving its sleeves faintly and waved to him.

Pei Ye indeed began to feel that his vision was becoming increasingly dark and narrow, his ears and body were becoming dull, and the shadow also faded away. She seemed to be saying something, but Pei Ye could no longer hear it clearly.

He swam forward with all his might, raised his hand and grabbed the beautiful Roselle peach on the stone. This time he did not wait for it to react, he picked it up and put it into his mouth. The gray shadow seemed startled and seemed to wave at him.

In just two breaths, the vision turned from dark to clear, the five senses became clear, and the body became familiar with this water area again.

The faint shadows in front of my eyes solidified again, becoming clearer, and the barrier disappeared. What I heard was a half-silver bell-like surprised laugh: "Oh, how did you chew it!"

"What's wrong?" Pei Ye stopped taking the last few petals in his mouth, "Didn't you say to drink it?"

"I'm not really asking you to swallow it. The wood peach is a spiritual creature that grows in water and scales. It enters the body through blood." Shadow stopped laughing. "But the effect is the same anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Pei Ye then chewed and swallowed the petals in his mouth, then looked down at his wrist and saw that the scales had grown back again.

"I'm sorry." He apologized, "I came in recklessly. If there are any rules here, please let me know and I will pay attention."

"Well... actually there are no rules, but my flowers are so beautiful... Forget it, just don't do anything bad." The shadow floated upwards and sat on the top of the stone again, with his hands on his sides, his calves hanging down, looking at somewhere unknown.

She seemed to like this movement very much, and she looked almost exactly like the Roselle peach with the flowing ribbons.

"What counts as doing something bad?"

“Just like those guys.”

Pei Ye thought for a while, but his tired body made him sit down under the stone: "Don't you like people coming in?"

Shadow looked up and thought for a moment: "Some people can come in, but others can't."

"May I come in?"

Shadow smiled: "You can't either, it's just that I like you more."

"..."

"I don't think you can beat that guy."

"Yu Sicheng?"

"Is that his name? Anyway, he beat you so badly." Danying lowered her head towards him. She had no face, but seemed to be smiling.

It was indeed miserable. Now his whole body was in pain from the inside out. That was the price he paid for his risky attempt. Pei Ye was still correcting his muscles and bones that were dislocated after the vibration. He looked up and said, "My name is Pei Ye. May I ask your name?"

"My name is..." Danying raised her head and thought for a while, but finally tilted her head, "I forgot."

"..."

"Names are used to address each other." Shadow didn't care much. "I live here alone, so I don't need a name. If anyone sees me and wants to call me by that name, they can do it."

"Then, what should I call you?" "I don't know either." Danying looked at him with some interest, "What name are you going to give me?"

Pei Ye was slightly startled. He had no intention of choosing a name, as that would be somewhat presumptuous. He was just asking... After thinking for a moment, he said, "The name should be one that you like. What do you like best?"

"Well... I like everything." Danying tilted her head and said, "You know, at the beginning, there was nothing here, it was dark and empty, with only me and these flowers. Later, grass gradually grew, small fish were born, and some other things were moved in. Maybe there will be small turtles and crabs in the future. Watching them multiply and grow little by little, I am very happy..."

She raised her head and said, "I like living freely here the most."

"Hmm..." Pei Ye thought for a while, "Since you like to be friends with fish and shrimp, why not call you 'Fish Lover'."

Black Cat calmly interrupted: "Wandering on the lakes and seas without getting stained by the dust on the shore can be called 'worry-free' or 'not envious'."

Danying tapped her chin gently: "But I am not completely free of worries. Sometimes some of the small fish will die, sometimes I feel bored, and sometimes those people will come in and be quite annoying."

Pei Ye immediately said, "Then let's call it 'Weiyou'. How about 'Luo Weiyou'? It sounds nice."

The black cat was silent.

Danying tilted his head and smiled: "Sounds good, then I will call it this. Thank you two for giving me a name."

"You can also take it yourself." Pei Ye wiped the residual blood on his forearm and smiled, "Take as many as you want, and then use whichever one you feel like every day."

This statement was quite novel. Danying thought about it with interest for a while, then nodded solemnly.

Then she stopped talking and was quiet for a while. She lowered her head and looked at the cat and the boy who were licking their wounds. She smiled and said, "If you want to defeat him, you have to go east."

"Ok?"

"There are places in the spiritual realm where small islands will grow."

"Small island?" Pei Ye paused.

"A place surrounded by water is an island." Danying said, "Outside, when the soil rises, it becomes an island. Here, it's the other way around. When the water dries up in some places, an island will be left behind."

"..."

"However, you have to step into the Yique Huanyuan Valley again. You just stepped on the front of Wuxiao, and now if you go from the back, that person won't be able to see you." Danying said, "You have already taken Luoshenmutao, so just follow the light you see when you close your eyes and swim forward."

There were too many words in this sentence that Pei Ye didn't understand. He stared at the shadow sitting on the stone in a daze: "Speak slowly, what is 'Wu Xiao', what is 'Yi Que Huan Yuan'... Can you tell me where this place is?"

"Hmm? You didn't know that?" Danying raised her head. "Go behind Yique, cross Huanyuan, pass Tonggu, Lingjing Mountain, and go further, and you will reach Luochuan. Twelve silk ribbons flow into twelve clear streams, surrounding the center like a flower. No living creature without permission can enter... This is a place that water spirits avoid, and it is also the path to the old temple of the Goddess of Luo River."

"The old temple of the goddess of Luo River..." Pei Ye murmured twice. At this time, he thought of the crazy Guo You and the "Searching for the Ferry in Luochuan" he mentioned.

Danying turned around and smiled at him: "Okay, if I continue talking to you, your new peach will wither again, so you should go first."

Before Pei Ye could answer, she leaped into the water again and disappeared without a trace of her.

Pei Ye tried to close his eyes as she said, and sure enough, a moment later, a strange pulsation emerged from his blood, and some faint blue light spots actually emerged in the dark vision, attracting him in a psychedelic and beautiful way. It was as if closing his eyes really entered a dream.

This is a very novel experience. It is obviously not visual, nor does it come from smell or hearing. It is more like a message conveyed by the water because we are all in the water.

The sense of direction in his mind seemed to start to reverse again. He swam towards the direction of the light, unable to touch the entangled water plants or bump into the rugged rocks.

Gradually he felt the rise and fall again, and he couldn't help but start to worry that he would suddenly be faced with Yu Sicheng's heavy spear. Now their condition could no longer withstand any fight.

But this worry never came true. He swam quietly. The whole world seemed to consist of only him and this dreamy and winding path. The bright halos on the road always represented a new Roselle peach. He replenished the scales on his wrist with them. He didn't know how long it had been, but when he swung his hand upwards again, it suddenly came empty.

The forearm that was stretched out felt strangely heavy. It should have been a very familiar feeling, but at this moment it made Pei Ye seriously stunned.

air.

When they had just fallen here and were being chased by the mermaids, he and Black Cat tried several times to find what they were looking for. They tried to swim upstream, tried to return to the surface of the water not far away, but it was always just endless water; they tried to go in one direction, but could not see the boundary either.

They had thought there was only endless water.

Pei Ye floated to the surface of the water, and the light from his translucent eyelids made him open his eyes. The kitten was on his shoulder, and they were completely stunned.

In the bright and clear spring light, the warm breeze gently caresses my cheeks, light white clouds float on the surface of the pond in front of me, and eider ducks disturb the waves. Looking further ahead, there is a small forest and a pavilion. The peach blossoms are reflected in the water, blooming like a painting.

Pei Ye felt as if he was dreaming of Xunfang Garden that night. He raised his hand and picked up a pink petal on the water surface, watching the moist feeling soak into his palm and the fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

The light voice like a flower rang in his ears again. Pei Ye turned around and saw the misty shadow lying on the water with his arms, half of his body exposed like him.

"You are the first person to come here except me," she said.

"What is this place?"

"I don't know either." Danying shook her head slightly.

"..."

"If you want to beat that guy, go ashore and listen." She tilted her head to look at the boy, holding her chin and smiling, "Pei Ye, nice to meet you, I wish you all the best."

Pei Ye said nothing as she disappeared before his eyes. He raised his hand to take a look and found that the scales on his wrist had indeed disappeared completely.

Pei Ye dragged his heavy body ashore. It was indeed a bright spring scene. He once again experienced the feeling of entering the Fantasy Tower that night. This was a not too large garden, with buds on both sides of the road, birds singing, and a grand and neat layout... He looked down at the road under his feet. It was a neat and clean white, all paved with neatly cut marble.

The style was familiar and unique, and he had only become familiar with it in the past few days - this was the style within the walls of the Daming Palace.

It’s just that the fish, birds, flowers and trees here grow freely, with peach branches extending out and flowers spreading and blooming, unlike the outside where they are trimmed into a neat shape.

This small forest was not very big, and Pei Ye only walked a hundred steps or so before he stopped.

He stood under the shade of the trees, looking at the warm spring grass in front of him. An elegant figure in a light shirt and long skirt was sitting at a table. The top was light blue with a pattern of birds holding pearls drawn with fine gold thread, and the skirt was bright gold, gradually dyed into sandalwood color.

She tilted her chin and flipped through an album on the table, her fingers twirling three hollow golden incense balls that should have been tied around her waist, like three round little bees.

There were two people kneeling respectfully in front of her desk, one behind her with his back straight, and the one in front of her leaning forward slightly, seemingly talking to the woman.

Their figures were very faint, far inferior to the person seen in Huanlou, and only slightly better than the woman who just disappeared.
