Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 614: Old Talk

The Feather Scale Trial twenty-four years ago was the last one Wei Qingju had watched. The swordsman she had favored did not take the stage in the end. Later, after her death, he took the 23rd place on the Crane Ranking with only three years of cultivation in the Xuan Sect. If Ziliang was still alive at that time, he would probably think of the small garden in the bright spring that year.

"Before they finished deducing this [Mercury Hua Fu Raft] body, Wei Qingju died first, and all her inheritance was divided up. This Jiaojin bone eventually fell into the hands of Yu Sicheng." Pei Ye supported the jade tiger with both hands. "I was also thinking that this matter might require the help of the Immortal Terrace or Yangyi Tower. It is indeed difficult for you and me and the sword in our hands to break through this iron wall."

"Can Xu Chuo know someone from Yangyi Tower?"

"Anyway, let's ask her." Pei Ye said to himself, "Also, if they didn't have time to complete this purple gold body, then how did Yu Sicheng get it into his body?"

He was thinking about the round purple patch on the left cheek of the fox-faced eunuch.

"Did you forget that when we questioned Guo You last night, he kept shouting, 'Yu Sicheng, let me go.'"

"You mean, he fell into Yu Sicheng's hands... and handed over more than just "Finding the Ferry in Luochuan"?"

"No matter what, apart from Yu Sicheng, there should be no one in Daming Palace who knows this set of [Mercury Hua Fucha] bones better than him."

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

Indeed, no matter what the speculation is, and no matter how much damage his body is now, if he wants to move forward, he will have to face this immortal ghost bone again.

In the last fight, the opponent already knew his methods very well, but he still saw no hope of destroying the opponent.

If there is another fight, just as Yu Sicheng said, he will kill him.

He could not fight him head-on again until he had a chance to win, and he had to find the chance to win on his own.

——The somewhat shy, well-bred and gentle man with a slender figure and narrow shoulders was, of course, Guo You.

Pei Ye walked out of the spring garden and returned to the water's edge, the wet marks on his body not yet dried.

He sat down on a rock by the water. The spring scenery was like a dream, as if the fighting in the dark waters a few minutes ago was all yesterday. But when he lowered his head, he saw a picked Roselle peach flower quietly placed beside him, with the east wind gently pushing its petals.

"..." Pei Ye was slightly stunned. This time he politely picked it up and placed it on the wound on his wrist, letting it dissolve into the wound by itself.

Scales appeared on his wrist again. Pei Ye raised his head and the faint shadow appeared in his sight again. She was lying on the water with her arms and looking up at him, as if the entire surface of the pool was her desk.

Pei Ye stared at her for a while, and he noticed some similarities between her and the woman just now, but he did not mention it. He just asked curiously: "So you can pick these flowers? Then I can meet you, right?"

Danying smiled and shook her head: "I asked someone to help pick it."

"Ok?"

Danying cast his gaze towards the lake sand beside him, where an object half the size of his body was slowly arching up, revealing half of a face that made one's bones shudder with fear.

Or it is difficult to call it a "face", it is just a tumor that combines various functions - a single gray eye is hidden in the cross-shaped mouth at the top, with three gills on each side. The olfactory organ is probably the two small holes, and the mouthparts are tightly closed, like a flat wrinkled chrysanthemum.

Pei Ye subconsciously tightened his sword, and at the same time, the creature also shrank back in shock, its head mostly buried under the water, with its two sharp green claws blocking the front. At this time, Pei Ye saw the edge of its shell and guessed that the shape under the sand should be a spindle-shaped turtle.

"Toad." The black cat whispered.

Pei Ye suddenly remembered the supernatural storybooks and picture albums he had read in his childhood, and he suddenly understood something.

Legend has it that this monster, which lies in the water, looks like a three-legged turtle, with a mouth full of flesh like a bowstring, which can shoot sand. If a person's reflection is shot by it while walking by the water, he will develop an acute illness and die. In ancient and modern legends, it is also called "water fox" or "short fox". He can also recite a line from "Book of Songs·Xiaoya" "If you are a ghost or a snake, you can't get it"...

"There seemed to be some conflict when you met just now. Now I have told it that I will not shoot you again." Danying rested his chin on the water with both hands. "I asked it to bring a flower. Otherwise, you will become blind again when you get into the water and you will not be able to see me."

"Thank you." Pei Ye took a look and found that the arched sand had completely disappeared. Pushed by the waves, no trace of it could be seen anymore. Apparently, for this gloomy water monster, it would be too much torture to show its head for even a moment longer.

"So it listens to you so well... can it see you?"

"Of course." Danying smiled, "You're the only one who can't see me."

"I can also keep seeing you - if you are willing to give me another flower to eat in a moment."

"No, the next one has to pay."

Her laughter was indeed as clear as a bell, and very pleasant to the ear, which made Pei Ye feel inexplicably relieved. He smiled and said, "Luo Weiyou, you led me here, so do you know what the three people in the garden are talking about?"

"Aren't you talking about that iron skeleton?"

"What about deeper ones?"

Danying shook his head.

"You are the one who came from the shore, yet you ask me."

"You seem to know everything about this place, so I asked you." Pei Ye said, "I thought you had some deep meaning in bringing me here."

"There's no deep meaning. Didn't I tell you at the beginning that I don't like those people coming in here?" She tilted her head slightly and looked at the boy on the shore, her voice calm and pleasant.

Pei Ye suddenly felt inexplicably that if this face could be seen clearly, it would definitely have beautiful eyes.

"Do you want to... go with me to take a look?" Danying thought for a moment and said to him.

"Ok?"

"The Old Temple of Luoshen, the place those people have always wanted to enter."

"..."

"But you can't go in either. You can only watch from outside like that guy."

"it is good."

"Come on then."

The light shadow leaned back slightly and sank into the water like a fish. Pei Ye stood up with his sword in hand and also dived in.

This time he didn't need to close his eyes. Just like when he was looking for the Luoshen peach before, a faint shadow wandered in front of him to guide him, and occasionally looked back to see if he was following.

Pei Ye didn't know which road she took him. There were rising upstream currents and soft grass valleys, but he never saw Yu Sicheng again.

Yu Sicheng had resolutely stopped him here, and the future was all dark and unknown to him, but now the light shadow brought him in. There was nothing special, after crossing the grass valley, there was another high mountain...Yique Huanyuan, Tonggu Jingshan, Pei Ye didn't know where he had passed by and how long he had gone deep.

Until he saw a curtain of water that seemed to be hanging from the sky.

This was probably the end of everything. The twelve upstream currents that flowed far away originated from here. Looking back in the direction in which they extended, they were winding in the dark waters like ribbons. And at this starting center, these upstream currents merged and surrounded each other like softly rolled up ribbons. If the winding twelve upstream currents were a beautiful flower, then they had arrived at its pistil.

Pei Ye stood at the bottom of the quiet and dark water, quietly looking up. The wonders surrounded by these water ribbons that were nearly a hundred feet wide were like layers of blooming pale chrysanthemums. The hazy water curtain blocked all sights into the depths, and also blocked all attempts to move forward.

The light shadow stopped here, leaning against the gently hanging water curtain. Pei Ye glanced at her and tried to swim further in. The hanging stream did not stop him. He waved his arms and swam through it... Then he was stunned to see the light shadow leaning against the water curtain.

The posture hadn't changed at all, but everything seemed to be turned around.

This was still the place where he had just stood and looked up.

Danying pointed at his chin and smiled, "Huh? How come you swam in with your feet at the back and swam out with your head at the front?" "..."

"This is actually not the old palace of the Goddess Luo." Danying said.

Pei Ye looked at her.

"Legend has it that the goddess of Luo River lives in a place that no one can find. If she hadn't opened the door, no one would be able to enter." Dan Ying also looked up. "Even if a giant beast suddenly came here and drank up all the water, there would be no palace inside, so you don't have to try to pass through it."

"The residence of the Goddess Luo is in another world that no one can reach. The only thing that must be mentioned here is its gate and walls."

"Door wall?"

"Well, you ate my Roselle peach, you can close your eyes and take a look."

Pei Ye was startled and closed his eyes in front of the flowing water… then he raised his head slightly and stood still.

Indeed, the grand and quiet beautiful silk flower had disappeared, and even the sound had disappeared from his ears. It seemed that he was the only one left in the whole world.

He stepped on the ground and looked up in front of him. It was indeed a pale red and slightly old courtyard wall, standing quietly in the drizzling spring day. A few cold blue flowers were swaying in the corner of the wall, and the gauze ribbons were fluttering slightly.

Pei Ye walked forward subconsciously, but after only a few steps, he found that he seemed unable to get close to it.

He opened his eyes and was back in the water realm.

"You are now in front of the steps of the Goddess Luo." The shadow said in a gentle voice, "If you want to pay a visit, you must wait for Her Majesty Luoshen to summon you."

This tone pulled Pei Ye out of his daze, and he smiled: "Luo Weiyou, aren't you Luoshen?"

"..."

"I don't know either." Luo Weiyou jumped onto the rock and shook her legs, "Sometimes I think I might be... Oh, how could you tell me what I was thinking? It's so annoying."

Pei Ye smiled: "Everyone can see how proud you are."

"..." Danying turned her body and looked away, seeming a little shy.

After her gaze moved away, Pei Ye restrained his smile and looked at her quietly. In fact, he knew that the dead could not be resurrected, and no matter whether it was an illusion or a dream, it would only be beautiful for a moment. But he still couldn't help thinking that this magical place might have some magical magic that could revive a dead soul again, even if it had lost all its memories...

Many people, living or dead, known or unknown, will be comforted by this.

He was also willing to make friends with her.

The figure on the stone was embarrassed for a moment, then he looked away and admitted it generously: "Well, that's what I think. I am always free here, every living being listens to me, and I know a lot about things here... You two came to my territory, didn't I treat you well enough?"

"Pretty good."

"Yes. But I don't like going to the shore, and I don't like strangers coming down from the shore." Her voice became calm again, and she looked towards the distance where they came from again, "Except..."

She didn't say anything else. I wonder if she couldn't remember it either.

Pei Ye also leaned against the stone. The two of them and the cat sat quietly for a while. Pei Ye suddenly raised his head and whispered, "Luo Weiyou."

"Ok?"

"Well, are we friends?"

"..." Ishigami Danying moved his body, "You are so abrupt, how long have we known each other... For now, let's just consider us half friends."

"Well, I'll be leaving in a moment. Do you have any gift for me?"

"what?"

"Your Rosewood peaches," Pei Ye said, "seem to be quite a few. Can I have a few more?"

Black Cat also whispered at this time: "You just said you were entertaining both of us, but in fact you were only taking care of him, not me. Just give him my share."

"..." Danying was a little confused, "Do my flowers smell good?"

"No, because I am carrying the 'Dantian Immortal Cultivation Method' you mentioned." Pei Ye said, "This is a great tonic for me."

"..."

"..."

"Then I'll give you five."

"How about twenty?"

"Ten at most!"

"Twelve, the same number as Xiao Liu. It's a good number and shows the generosity of the Goddess of Luo River."

"..."

"Ok?"

"Okay, I'll ask the little fishes to go pick them."

"Thank you, Goddess Luo, for your kindness!"

"Hmph. How long can you stay here?" Danying asked.

"About three-quarters of an hour."

"Oh."

After a while, some fish as big as half a palm swam over, holding jade-like fluorescent blue flowers in their mouths. These were probably the largest ones here. Danying gently stroked their foreheads one by one and asked them to place the flowers in front of Pei Ye.

"Now we are just half friends." Danying said.

Pei Ye grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, then grabbed the rest and ate it all in one bite.

Danying watched in silence.

"I won't eat your food for nothing." Pei Ye swallowed the twelve flowers, then stood up with the help of the stone and the sword.

"There are about two quarters of an hour left." He lowered his head to wipe the sword and said, "In the second quarter of an hour, I have to rush to the place where I leave the mirage. In the first quarter of an hour, I will help you kill all those who want to come in from outside."

"Including the fish?"

"…hide from him."
