Chapter 71 Sacred Heart Lotus
This night was very peaceful. In the morning, Qingling got up and stretched comfortably. After this night, she knew that Cang Yi really didn't have any evil intentions towards her, and she was more safe and bolder, and her expression was much happier than last night.
Early the next morning, when they got up, Cang Yi and Qingling both felt very relaxed and happy. Qingling is because there is a person around him who can protect himself. And Cang Yi did obviously feel that since Qingling was around, his heart had been purified more. The heavy feeling of the magic sword around is being alleviated, and the longer you stay with Qingling, the more obvious this feeling will be.
Two people go on their way in the morning. When Qingling saw A Xue, she seemed to like it very much. And A Xue also seems to like Qingling very much, even surpassing Cang Yi.
Cang Yi sighed, which may be the reason why these two lives are very pure, and their hearts are more connected with each other.
It's still the same problem. Qingling refused to be touched by a man, so she didn't agree to ride on the same horse as Cangyi. In this way, Cang Yi can only let Qingling ride a horse and walk by himself.
But in general, it's still a good thing. Qingling rode on A Xue's body and could see that the horse was affected by the magic sword yesterday, and the dark clouds above his head were gone. It was very pleasant and ran quickly.
Cang Yi has magic boots at his feet, and he can keep up with this horse for a while.
Along the way, the two slowly began to get acquainted with each other, and Qingling's vigilance of Cangyi became weaker and weaker.
The two chatted happily, so that Qingling told Cang Yi about her background.
This girl has lived in a large family in Mingli City since she was a child. The family gave birth to such a child as Qingling, so they loved the child very much and never let him touch a man.
Her mother told her that she was born to be the purest holy heart girl, so her innocence was very precious. She can only dedicate her kiss to a man in her life. Once she gives it, she is that man and can't regret it. If a second man really makes her lose her purity, her life may be in danger.
In fact, she was born with a major mission. Her mother didn't tell her exactly what it was. Maybe her parents don't fully know, but just tell her that when she grows up now, she must do an important thing.
But what she didn't expect was that just after her 18th birthday, a group of people suddenly came to her family. These people are very evil and want their parents to hand over Qingling. But as a parent, how can you give your only daughter to these villains?
In this way, her parents hid Qingling in a very safe place, but all her family members were killed by the whole family because of this incident.
Qingling escaped alone, but those people still chased after him. When hurting Qingling's family, the fireman also died a lot in the battle, and finally there were only four people left. These were the four people with high interest.
Qingling originally thought that she must not be able to escape, but she didn't expect to meet Cang Yi by chance, which saved her life.
After listening to this, Cang Yi really feels that there are all strange things in this world. Thinking about it, this girl is also pitiful. She will encounter such a big bondage in her life. I just know what her mission is. Now that her family has been killed, can she still successfully complete that mission?
Of course, Cang Yi himself was not alert to this girl, and also explained to Qingling the specific situation of his task this time. And told her how important she was to herself.
Although Cangyi is powerful, after all, he is not as pure as Qingling, and he still has a certain fear of this magic sword. But Qingling is different. She is a sacred heart girl. This sword will never have any influence on him, and it can also help people nearby and mitigate the impact of this sword. However, when she meets the enemy, she needs the protection of Cangyi.
Two people marched to a sparsely populated place. Cangyi really got a little lost. After searching for a long time, he finally found a guy like a beggar. His face was dark, and he couldn't see what it looked like.
Anyway, it's not easy to meet a person. Cang Yi quickly asked for directions like this person. Not bad. The beggar really knew the way. For example, Cangyi asked for some money, so he told him the route.
"In fact, if you want to reach Shijian Valley from here, there are two roads to go. One road is rugged. You have to cross three mountains to find the next town. When you find a town, you can inquire about it. It's easy to go down. Otherwise, you walk from the east, where there is a very wide river. If you find a boatman, the ferry will be much faster. It depends on which road you choose. The beggar explained to them.
Does that need to be said? Of course, Cang Yi and others chose to cross the river. Even if there is no boatman, this A Xue can walk on the water, but Qingling can't ride on a horse at the same time as himself, so he can only run twice.
After watching Cang Yi and others go far away, the other three people hiding in the dark came out. The leader said happily to the beggar, "Changhai, you did a good job this time. Since they chose to cross the river, no matter how powerful the guy is, he can only be buried at the bottom of the river. Hahaha."
Changhai also immediately complimented: "Brother Gaoli, you are really smart. In this way, we can solve them without any effort and hide the sword safely at the bottom of the river. At that time, how happy will the king be when he hears this news?
The four people laughed at the same time.
Cangyi and Qingling didn't go far, and they really saw a very wide river. The river is so wide that you can hardly see the opposite bank.
For good weather today, the water surface is very stable, so it is much safer to cross the river. The strangest thing about this river is that there are many lotus flowers floating on the surface of the water, and the flowers are also extremely large.
These lotus flowers are scattered in the river, but in the middle of the river, there is a lotus flower densely. This makes Cang Yi and others strange.
Lotus flowers have always grown in lotus ponds. How can lotus flowers grow in such a deep and wide river? Imagine how long the stems would grow from the bottom of the river and float on the water!
However, the two people did not want to think deeply about this problem, but they felt that these lotus flowers were really beautiful. It is also a rare good thing to enjoy such a beautiful scenery along the way.
What's more smoothly is that they actually saw a boatman in a hat not far from the river bank, sitting leisurely on their wooden boat and taking a nap.
This is a long boat, but the water surface is so calm that it is absolutely no problem to carry the two of them.
It's better to have a ferry than to use A Xue to take them over.
Cang Yi walked towards the old boatman and asked politely, "Mr., can we take your boat to the other side?"
The old boatman, who was half lying on the boat resting, heard Cang Yi's voice and looked up at the two people. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, you two are interesting. Half of them are pure and incredibly pure, while the other half are evil. The evil is simply uncomfortable. You two are really interesting. It's the first time I've seen you for most of my life. If you want to take a boat, yes, then come up."
Hearing this, Cang Yi was also surprised. It seemed that the boatman was not an ordinary person. His details were suddenly felt by him. However, seeing that the old man didn't look like a bad guy, the two of them got on the boat.
In this way, Cang Yi and others took the boat to the other side of the river. Similarly, the sword should not be too close to the boatman. Qingling sat at the end of the boat with a sword and A Xue, while Cang Yi and the old uncle sat at the other end.
This boatman is very enthusiastic and willing to chat with these two young people. In this way, they enjoy the beautiful scenery in the river while chatting with the elderly without feeling lonely.
Gradually, they talked about the topic that Cangyi was most interested in. Why does such a big river have a lotus flower?
As soon as he talked about this topic, the boatman's uncle showed a very depressed expression.
It turns out that the lotus in this river is indeed not an ordinary lotus. They are called holy lotus flowers. It is said that more than ten years ago, this lotus was still a magical medicinal material that can cure all diseases. Therefore, there is a village not far from this place called Changshou Village. People in the village often live long because they can eat the lotus here. But just 18 years ago, a thief suddenly came here and stole the most precious lotus here, called Sacred Heart Lotus.
This Sacred Heart Lotus is the core of all lotus flowers. Since the loss of the core lotus, the other lotus here has lost its function of curing all diseases.
The old man asked Cang Yi and others to observe the lotus carefully, and then said, "Have you seen it? The lotus here is now sparse, but it was not like this in those years. The lotus is very dense. Looking forward, is it only the small piece in front that is relatively dense?
Cang Yi and Qingling wanted to look at it from a distance, "Yes, uncle, the front is really dense. What's going on?"
The old man said, "That is where the Sacred Heart Lotus used to be. Up to now, it can still be relatively dense, but it is far worse than before.
Hearing this, Cang Yi and Qingling were very angry, "Old man, the guy who stole the Sacred Heart Lotus is really bad. Does the people in your village hate him now?"
The old man showed an expression of atmosphere, "Why not? Our whole village hates him so much. Especially for me, when my wife was seriously ill, I came here to pick a lotus flower. However, on that day, the thief stole our Sacred Heart Lotus. I watched him take it away, but I couldn't catch up with it. Soon after that day, my wife passed away. Do you think I can not hate that person?
Cang Yi and Qingling sympathized with the old man's experience and said a few words of comfort to him.
The old man continued: "For good luck, we are not too unlucky. That day, thanks to me finding the guy in time, the guy knew that he had been found and failed to take away the whole Sacred Heart Lotus in a hurry. He only pulled out the flowers on it and left the roots in the water. I simply dug out the root of the Sacred Heart Lotus and took it home to take good care of it. Finally, the effort pays off. After 18 years of growth, the Sacred Heart Lotus finally has signs of blooming again this year.
Cang Yi said with admiration, "Old uncle, you are really a kind-hearted person. This is also a blessing in misfortune. Will your village become a veritable longevity village from now on?
The old man sighed and said, "What can this do? Even if I have the Sacred Heart Lotus again, I can't bring my wife back to my life.
