Chapter 83 Transit Station
The formation of Mucheng Xizhen can be described as a legend. A little snake fled to a small tree when it was chased, and from then on it was accompanied by the tree.
The oak tree in the world can grow up to 20 or 30 meters, while the white oak tree in the wooden city is more than 50 meters high, but it has been thousands of years, and the little snake has long been as big as a dragon. The little snake has grown into a giant snake and has its own city. No one dares to bully it, and the little tree that once served as it has also become the object of its protection.
I heard that the material analyzed by Dong Muya in the array in Mucheng is most likely to be the coffin of the city owner Xizhen, and the two elders in the demon world felt slightly sorry. They had the honor to see this mysterious city owner once. He was really a peerless monster, with phoenix eyes, a goose egg-like face, and a man's hair combed into a man's style to reveal the beauty on his forehead. Although she has unparalleled beauty, she does not like red clothes and arms. She always wears men's clothes. When she comes out of the palace, she will wear armor. As a city owner, she does not take a sedan chair or car, but drives a demon horse alone.
Both men and women are attracted by her beauty and temperament, but the strange thing is that although countless monsters have gone thousands of miles to Mucheng to show their goodwill to her, she has never liked any of them. In addition, her unwillingness to socialize with people and the rule of not allowing outsiders to enter the city for more than three days made her labeled as a quirk.
In the Yuheng Hall of Chenji Palace, Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qianqi meet and prepare to go to Mucheng Xizhen together. Originally, I was not going to let Queer go with me on this trip, because she had just arrived here after all, and her identity was not very clear, but he still followed.
In fact, Ling Yu did not want to get involved in the struggle between them and Qingyun. Previously, he was overwhelmed by righteousness because of a momentary impulse. As a result, he lost the place of living in the dungeon. This time, he finally came to Wangcheng and settled in the Chenji Palace. He didn't want to make the same mistake again. But the thought that if he didn't go, it was equivalent to giving up the opportunity to get along with Ouyang Xiaoling to Xia Qiu. On balance, he still decided to go with them.
Mucheng Xizhen is in the easternmost part of the demon world, and he will pass Dongyao on the way, so several teenagers plan to settle down in Dongyao halfway. Xia Qiu had never been in Dongyao before, but he just heard Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qian Qi mention it. The buildings in the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the dreamy Amber Dragon Palace, as well as the unrivaled relationship between the Amber Dragon King and his wife, have long been full of expectations.
This time, before leaving, Ouyang Xiao Leng sent a stone demon to guide the sparrow to the demon horse forest to find his own demon horse, which was a small but strong gray demon horse.
Are you sure this is a horse? Why does it look a little like a donkey?" Qianqi joked that he had been a little hostile to Queer after calling Xia Qiu an ugly girl in the dungeon, and now he finally found an opportunity to make fun of her.
Although Lingyu was angry, he still pretended to be delicate on the surface and said, "I think my little gray is quite cute. What do you think of the demon king brother?"
Ouyang looked at him coldly and ran forward on his demon horse without any doubt.
Xia Qiu felt that Xiaohui looked very aura, especially those eyes, which were very similar to sparrow's, so she said slightly, "It's about the same size as my green, just right for you!"
Ling Yu could see that she was praising his Xiaohui from the bottom of her heart, but she still answered her a little arrogantly: "Well, my Xiaohui must run faster than your green!" Then he chased Ouyang Xiao Leng.
Although Xiaohui is not as fast as a few demon horses, his endurance is amazing, and his personality is also a little naughty. He often suddenly slows down while running, or changes the direction to make trouble for other demon horses. Lingyu is more sure why it will choose himself. It really has many similarities with him.
They successfully arrived at the ferry outside Dongyao City, and Sanmu personally came to greet them. The small ferryboat slowly sailed into Dongyao City in the green water. When the ship docked at the dock, the last time I came, the mermaids who had seen Ouyang Xiao Leng as the welcome company were waiting there again.
When the two mermaid Yingbinsi saw Qianqi, they almost squatted and half knelt down to meet him. When they arrived at the side of the boat, they stretched out their hand to help him ashore, but they were pushed away by Qianqi.
"Young master... You are back!"
After everyone came ashore, the mermaid who called the carp at the beginning was so excited that he half cried and half sang.
"Didn't I just leave for a short time?" Qianqi looked at the others and reminded him in a low voice in embarrassment.
"The old minister knew his mistake. It's my fault that I was so excited to see the young master! Demon King Fox, young master, please get in the car!" As Li said, he politely invited everyone to the car pulled by the jade-scared horned beast.
According to the original plan, several teenagers will rest here for one night. Xia Qiu and Ling Yu are most interested in the lively scene on the street outside the window. Although the street of Dongyao is not as wide as that of Yongchuan, it is also because of this that the commercial street here is more prosperous and noisy. All kinds of novel things are sold in the shops, which is dazzling.
Before Xia Qiu saw enough, the car had arrived at the Amber Dragon Palace. This palace is really like a dew dripping on a lotus leaf, and like a pearl embedded in emerald. The Amber Dragon King stood in front of the main door of the palace and waited for the arrival of the demon king fox Ouyang Xiao Leng. When the car carrying several teenagers stopped in front of him, he and the demon servants around him saluted deeply at the same time.
They were invited into the palace, walked down the stairs and came to the legendary Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake. The lake, which was isolated by demonism, rippled outside the corridor, bursting with waves of light, and all kinds of fish swimming in the water from time to time. Ling Yu snuggled close to Ouyang Xiao Leng and did not give anyone a chance to approach him until they sat in the main hall of the Amber Dragon Palace.
The demon servant served hot tea and fruit to relieve the fatigue of the teenagers running all the way. The Amber Dragon King also sat on his throne and talked happily with several teenagers. He paid special attention to the human girl Xia Qiu, because Qianqi had mentioned her to him more than once. As a father, he could easily feel his son's deep affection for her.
This human girl has a different temperament. She always smiles and her eyes are clear. Although she is slender, she is not weak. As a human, the tenacity in her bones is pitiful. He finally understands why her son likes her.
"Father, have you heard about the blue snake Xizhen, the owner of Mucheng City?" Qianqi remembered that he had never heard his father talk about the city owner in the past, and now it was a good time to ask him.
"She once invited me to Mucheng and had a short contact with her!" Amber Dragon King thought for a moment and wanted to answer. After all, it was a long time ago.
"What kind of person is she? It's hard to find records about her everywhere!" Qianqi continued to ask.
"She can be said to be a heroine. Although she is a woman, she manages the whole city in an orderly manner, and with her strength, she has made Mucheng Xizhen stable for thousands of years!" The amber dragon king's eyes showed admiration.
Before we talked for a while, the banquet had already begun. At this time, in order to give a few teenagers more time to rest, the mermaids were not arranged to perform songs and dances for them, but just asked them to help toast. Yu Chan begged the mermaid in charge of the song and dance department to allow her to be sent for a long time. She held the plate put into the wine pot and wine glass and jumped to the main hall like a bird. The joy in her heart was full of words. Finally, she had the opportunity to see Ouyang Xiaolen, the teenager she was longing for. How could she not make her happy?
When he came to the Amber Dragon Palace again, Ouyang Xiaon was suddenly brought back to his first scene here by memory. When watching the mermaid dancer perform, he actually had the illusion that she was also in it because he missed Xia Qiu, and then thought of it, he was a little shy.
He looked at Xia Qiu through Lingyu and saw that she was holding a wine glass and listening carefully to what the Amber Dragon King said. He hasn't looked at her side face so carefully for a long time, but it's not because he was angry with her or something. Maybe it was the thought of sucking her blood when he was seriously injured and weak that made him distant from her intentionally or unintentionally. And when he looked at her so quietly again, his whole heart felt like it was going to melt.
Yu Chan always surrounded Ouyang Xiao Leng to drink wine for him, but found that his eyes had not stayed on him for a moment. He just stared at the other side in a daze. She couldn't guess that he was looking at the sparrow or Xia Qiu, but felt that his eyes were full of gentleness that had never been revealed to her.
After being full of wine and food, everyone was led to the guest room to rest. After bathing, Xia Qiu still remembered to go to the corridor to see the scenery at the bottom of the lake. She stretched out her hand and could reach into it through the lake blocked by the boundary. The lake in winter is particularly cold, but it also has a more watery feeling. Once you put your hands in it, people don't want to take it out anymore.
At this moment, Queer appeared beside her. In fact, Ling Yu wanted to find Ouyang Xiao Leng, but he met Xia Qiu on the corridor, and he had to stop.
Xia Qiu felt that this was a good time to figure out the questions in her heart, so she turned back and said to him, "I don't know what kind of hardship you have, and I don't know if it's appropriate for me to ask you like this, but I already know you... In fact, you're not a girl!"
Ling Yu stared at her with wide eyes, as if he were looking at a monster. He thought he did not show his feet in front of her, and why did she guess? He suspected that she might be cheating himself, so he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What are you talking about?" I don't quite understand!"
"First of all, I have to say I'm sorry to you. I have a special ability called soul separation, that is, my soul will leave the body and act alone from time to time, and so far my ability cannot be completely controlled by myself. It should be said that I didn't mean to spy on your secret, but I inadvertently saw the fact that you were a boy!" Xia Qiu said calmly. She felt that since she wanted him to solve the doubts in his heart, she should not cover it up from him.
"Have you told others?" Lingyu asked.
"No, I think you must have some difficulties, so I shouldn't have explained this to everyone." Xia Qiu looked straight into his eyes and said word by word.
"Since you know my real body, isn't this your best chance? Don't you notice my intention against Ouyang Xiao Leng? What are you waiting for if you don't eradicate my competitor now? It is difficult for Lingyu to understand the way of thinking of the human girl in front of her.
"I think everyone may have their own side that they don't want others to know. And I don't want to use my words and deeds to influence Xiao Leng's choice. Even if he chooses you instead of me, I can only bless him!"
Hearing Xia Qiu's resolute answer, Ling Yu still couldn't believe it and asked, "Blessings? I don't believe that human beings have such a mind!"
"This does not mean how broad my mind is. This is simply because of my feelings for him. As the party of his blood alliance, I hope to be his pillar, and I must support all his decisions for this!"
Xia Qiu's words had an unprecedented impact on Ling Yu. Because he understood the girl's feelings, he knew how much the girl in front of him liked the new owner of the demon world. Her feelings for him have reached a degree of selflessness. For the first time, he was no longer jealous of this girl, but began to envy Ouyang Xiao Leng. Why has no one ever liked him like this?
"I will find an opportunity to tell the truth!" After a moment of silence, Lingyu said, and then told Xia Qiu his real name: "My name is actually Lingyu!"
"Lingyu, what a good name. It's more suitable for you than the sparrow!" Xia Qiu smiled with relief, and then turned his eyes to the lake.
