Chapter 88
Lin Changjing sat with the old man from sunrise to sunset. The old man stared at the water without moving, but he could sit still.Lin Changjing was anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb him. If this old man was really a Penglai fairy and made him unhappy, then the matter of picking fairy grass would be difficult.

Suddenly, the buoy on the water sank, and the old man quickly pulled up the line, good guy, a big fish three feet long!
"Quick, quick! Hold it for me!" The old man finally spoke.

Seeing this, Lin Changjing got up quickly, grabbed the branch that had been thrown on the ground before, and knocked hard on the head of the fish. The force was just right, and the big fish was knocked unconscious.The fish stopped struggling, and Lin Changjing easily dragged it ashore.

"Hehe, young man, do you have any tricks?" The old man stroked his beard and said again: "I can't lift this fish, so help me get it back."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Lin Changjing answered or not, he turned around and walked back.Lin Changjing hurriedly took off his coat to wrap the slippery fish, hugged it in his arms and followed the old man.

"Old man, are you the Penglai fairy?"

The old man ignored Lin Changjing and hummed a song to himself.Lin Changjing had no choice but to give up and continue asking.Following the old man to a small hut, the old man pointed to a large water tank in front of the house and said, "Put the fish here."

Lin Changjing put the fish into the water tank as he said, and heard the old man say, "Young man, are you literate?"

Lin Changjing was startled and nodded.

"That's great. My book boy just went home these few days. The books in my study room are in a mess. Go and help me put them away by category. Here, the study room is over there. Go there by yourself, the old man wants to go into the house and sleep."

The old man pointed out the direction to Lin Changjing and went into the house. Lin Changjing sighed and walked towards the place he pointed.

When he came to the old man's study, Lin Changjing was dumbfounded.The space inside the room is much larger than it looks from the outside, and a room full of books are flying around like birds!As soon as Lin Changjing's hand approached a book suspended in the air, the book slipped away from his face, and the other books did the same, as if he just didn't want to be caught back into the bookshelf by him.Lin Changjing looked around and found a bamboo pole leaning against the corner of the wall. He went over to pick up the bamboo pole, and knocked down the flying books like a bird.The knocked down books fluttered a few times on the ground and then became still. Lin Changjing picked them up and put them back one by one on the bookshelves corresponding to their categories.

It took Lin Changjing a long time to put all the books back on the shelf, and when he walked out of the study wearily, it was already dark.Back to the house where the old man lived, he heard the sound of snoring coming from the room.I think the old man has already fallen asleep, so don't disturb him.Lin Changjing turned back to the study, found the "herbs" book and looked through it, trying to find the record of the fairy grass he was looking for.Lin Changjing discovered that there are indeed some fairy grasses and fairy fruits that can instantly improve people's cultivation, but those things are very rare and rare.Lin Changjing continued to search, hoping to find the record of the fairy grass growing on Penglai Island, but a mellow voice sounded after hearing it.

"Well, didn't you find what you were looking for?"

When Lin Changjing turned his head, he saw the white-haired old man standing behind him.

"Old man, you are the Penglai fairy, right?"

Penglai Xianweng laughed and said, "That's right, it's the old man."

"Xian Weng, do you know what I'm looking for?"

Penglai Xianweng said: "Rongyue, the fox girl, has already sent me a letter to tell me about your coming here, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I don't have any fairy grass here that can instantly boost your cultivation."

"Immortal, what do you want me to do, just ask me, I must get the fairy grass and go back to save Aying!"

"Hmph, do you think the old man is lying to you? Silly boy, it is the fox demon who lied to you."

Lin Changjing was taken aback: "What did you say?"

The Penglai fairy sighed, and said: "The fairy grass and fairy fruit that promote cultivation are rare in the world, and they are hard to come by. Even Penglai Island, which is full of fairy grass, may not have it. If I really have those here Why don't the foxes come and ask for it themselves, and let you, a mortal who can't even land on the island, come and get it?"

Lin Changjing thought that Penglai Xianweng's words were reasonable, and he was puzzled: "But why did Sixth Sister lie to me?"

"They asked you to come, not because they expect you to pick the jelly grass back, but because they want me to give you another thing."

Lin Changjing was startled: "What?"

Penglai Xianweng waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about this matter tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, fairy! Why do we have to wait until tomorrow?"

"I have my own reasons, so don't ask more questions."

The Penglai fairy patted his gray beard, left Lin Changjing alone in the study, and left.That night Lin Changjing tossed and turned sleeplessly, and finally the next morning, he waited early outside Penglai Xianweng's house.After a while, Penglai Xianweng pushed the door out. He glanced at Lin Changjing and said, "Come with me."

Lin Changjing followed the Penglai fairy to the flower garden where he first landed on the island, where the butterfly spirits were still gathering nectar and morning dew yesterday.

"Hee hee, he's back!"

"I knew he would come back to see me!"

"He came back to find me!"

"No, he came looking for me! Looking for me!"

Penglai Immortal coughed and said, "Stop making noise! ​​Has Jie Konglu turned into something?"

"Okay, okay, just right!"

The little butterflies turned and flew in one direction, followed by Penglai Xianweng and Lin Changjing.The little butterflies flew to a waterfall and danced in a circle against a piece of ground.After flying for a while, the ground gradually opened a small hole, and a spherical thing appeared in the hole.The butterfly spirits danced around the ball again, and the ball slowly opened from the top, split into several petals, and a small bottle stood in the position of the "flower core".

With a move, Immortal Penglai took the small bottle into his hand.He said to Lin Changjing, "This is what the fox girls asked me to give you."

Lin Changjing looked at the small bottle and wondered, "This is it?"

"All empty dew. After one bottle, all thoughts will be empty, and you will lose sight of the person who is deeply rooted in your heart."

Lin Changjing was stunned. He looked at the bottle and shook his head, "Impossible...how could they let me drink this?"

"Young man, your lifespan is only a few dozen years, why bother to be entangled in a word of love? The fox demon asked you to come to me because I hope you can let go of the past and start over."

Lin Changjing shook his head and said: "I appreciate the kindness of Xianweng, but I don't know how to drink it. I don't want to forget her just like this. Although my life span is short, if I devote my whole life to it, it may not be the end of my life." Can't find a way to help her. She's not someone who gives up easily, and I won't give up on her easily."

The Penglai Immortal sighed, "Young man, is it worth it?"

Lin Changjing smiled: "Two people fall in love with each other and have gone through the ups and downs together. Where do we need to ask if it's worth it?"

Lin Changjing bid farewell to Penglai Fairy, returned to the fishing village and bought a local horse, and planned to return to Temporary before making plans.When I stopped at a teahouse on the way, I heard an unexpected news.

"Guest officer, are you going to Linyao?" the tea waiter asked.

Lin Changjing nodded: "Exactly."

"Oh, guest officer, I advise you not to go!"

Lin Changjing was puzzled: "Why?"

"You don't know, do you? A monster that eats people has appeared in Linyao City recently, and many people have died in the city. It is said that none of the people sent by the government to track down the murderer came back alive, but think about it, how can people fight against monsters? ?”

Lin Changjing didn't finish his tea, so he threw down a few copper coins and got on the horse. He turned his head to thank the tea waiter, and then rode away.

Ye Tianheng turned over, feeling the discomfort of being pinched by something, he opened his eyes in a daze, and sat up suddenly.what happened?He was obviously in the palace, how could he end up in this wilderness?Surrounded by thorny weeds and crawling bugs, it looked extremely disproportionate to Ye Tianheng in dragon pattern pajamas.

"Your Majesty Qing Huang, are you awake?"

Ye Tianheng was startled when he heard a human voice suddenly. He turned his head and saw a man with a strong figure standing behind him. His face was hidden in the shadow, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you?!" Ye Tianheng was shocked.

"Your Majesty has never met me, but he has actually dealt with me for a while." The man said.

Ye Tianheng stood up and walked a little closer, only to see that it was a man with sharp eyes, but he was sure that he had never seen this man before, because this man is the kind of person that people will never forget once they see it.

"Don't play sloppy with me! Who are you?"

"Haha! Qinghuang really has the air of a king, and he can still be calm in such a situation. But no matter how calm you are in front of others, you must be very anxious in your heart, right? People in this city are dying one after another, but you are helpless , the newly obtained throne is not easy to sit on, right?"

This person hit Ye Tianheng's mind, but he still couldn't guess the identity of the other party, which made him very angry: "Who are you? What is the purpose of bringing me here?"

The man didn't answer.Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes and rushed towards the man's back.Ye Tianheng was shocked when he saw this, but it was too late to scream, just when he thought that the black shadow that jumped out was about to throw the man down, he was surprised to see the black shadow jump over the man's head and rush towards him!
Ye Tianheng gasped, and instinctively took a step back, but his footsteps were unsteady, and he fell among the grass.But the black shadow didn't touch him, but fell to the ground in front of him.Ye Tianheng's heart was beating wildly with fright, and he saw that the thing in front of him was a wolf with bared teeth and fierce eyes!Suddenly, he thought of a murder case that happened in the city recently, those people who looked like they were bitten to death by wild animals... Could it be? !
