Chapter 178 Ziyunju
Coming out of the place similar to a shopping street, the Bauhinia elk car quickly took Xia Qiu and others to an open place. Xia Qiu can't help but think of the demon horse forest he has been to. Countless horses, bauhinia elk, antelopes and unnamed animals are leisurely gnawing the grass on the open grassland.
Xiao Libai couldn't help getting out of her arms and took the lead in flying out of the car window. No matter how Xia Qiu called its name in the back, he couldn't call it back. He watched it fly around in the sky and looked at other animals curiously.
"I almost forgot that you also brought this little guy!" Wuyou Shengtong said.
"Is it still far from the island owner's mansion?" Xia Qiu looked around, and the other side of the plain seemed to be close to the lake, so he asked him.
"Look up!" Wuyou Shengtong pointed his hand out of the window and said.
Xia Qiu poked his head out of the car window and saw that a house was built on a purple cloud hanging in mid-air. This is difficult for her. Since she entered the realm of soul separation, she has no strength at all. Instead, she has completely turned back to a mortal, so she asked helplessly, "Are we going to go here!"
"Exact! The mansion of Ouyang Xueye, the owner of Bauhinia Island, is called Ziyunju. You don't know that you can have a panoramic view of the whole Bauhinia Island from the railing of his house!" Wuyou Shengtong answered with infinite enjoyment. What he was most satisfied with was that he could enjoy the scenery of the island and the moonlight in the sky, and drink and chat with Ouyang Snow Night.
"It seems that you have to ask him to come down!" Xia Qiu thought for a moment and wanted to talk about it.
"What? Are you worried that you can't go up?" Wuyou Shengtong said and became happy. For a moment, he couldn't stop, and even laughed until he gasped.
Xia Qiu muttered in her heart: You can go up easily. Of course, you can't understand my distress.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the worry-free holy child left the soul boat, he seemed to have changed into a person. He, who was originally serious, suddenly became a urchin. He saw that Xia Qiu suddenly had a bad idea and decided to leave her under Ziyun for a while to make her anxious, so he said, "I can go up first!"
Then he jumped up and flew to Ziyunju and disappeared. Xia Qiu thought that he was just joking with her and would come back to pick her up soon, so she didn't take it seriously, but she waited a little but still didn't move at all.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes from a distance. She suddenly looked up and a man in white was riding on a jade steed horse and galloping this way. Under Ziyunju, he stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of the horse. He flew down from the horse's back and came to Xia Qiu without landing his feet. He put his arms around her waist and took her to the purple cloud.
The man in white let go of his hand on the cloud and shocked Xia Qiu. He thought he would fall from the cloud, but his feet steadily stepped on the slate hidden in the clouds. Seeing the two of them coming up, Wuyou Shengtong greeted her with a smile and said, "I still want to tease her a little and bring her up again. I didn't expect to meet you before I could introduce you."
"Who is this?" The man in white looked up and down at the little girl in front of him and asked curiously.
"Her name is Xia Qiu, and she is the party of Ouyang Xiaolun's blood alliance. I brought it to you. If you have anything else, you can ask her directly!" Worry-free holy child responds.
When he heard Ouyang Xiao Leng's name, the man in white's originally warm eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and his gray-blue pupils were like a lake at night. Xia Qiu was shocked from the first sight of him. In addition to looking older than Ouyang Xiao Leng, his figure was almost like a replica of him, and even his voice was extremely similar. But there is always a smile on his face, and his eyes are more gentler, but now his eyes are more similar to Ouyang Xiao Leng.
"Let's go first and talk about it!" The man in white raised his hand and said, signaling her and Wuyou Shengtong to enter the building like the cloud.
The word Ziyunju is hung on the main door of the building. As soon as you walk in, there is a spacious hall. The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple. There are two calligraphys hanging on the wall facing the gate. One reads "A cloud peak" and the other says "The most carefree in the wind." On the right side of the wall is a large portrait of a beautiful woman holding a baby.
Xia Qiu suddenly remembered that she had seen the man in white in front of her in a state of separation, and the mother and son in the painting. It is Ran Susu and Ouyang Xiao Leng's mother and son in the painting, and the man in white is Ouyang Xueye.
The man in white asked her and Wuyou Shengtong to sit down. As soon as they sat on the chair, they came out of a white-haired, white-browed and kind-looking old man from the door next to them. He held a tray in his hand, and when he walked to everyone, he took a cup from the tray and handed it over. The strange thing is that everyone gets is different. I don't know what's particular about it, or he just took it casually.
Ouyang Xueye took a white jade cup with no pattern; the worry-free holy child took a pure black wood carving cup; and for Xia Qiu was a plum blossom-shaped red jade cup. After filling everyone's cup with fragrant hot tea, he saluted and retreated to the door.
"I'm Xiao Leng's father, Ouyang Xueye. Now you can tell me why you came to Bauhinia Island!" After the old man retreated, the man in white asked. In fact, he doesn't want to talk. As long as you see their father and son, you will feel that there is no suspense that they are father and son.
Xia Qiu told Ouyang Xueye why he came to the infinite world. After listening to it, he was silent for a while and then said to Wuyou Shengtong, "Thank you, Shengtong, for taking such a big risk and bringing her to Bauhinia Island!" I have my own plan to do what to do next.
"Well, is this just a hand-on! Besides, it's not difficult for me to bring her in, but how can you let her out later?
"Yes, I don't have any particularly good ideas now. I can only take one step at a time!"
Xia Qiu thought to herself: How can he say such an important thing so ambiguous? If she can't return to her own body within the deadline told by the Yuhe Fairy, it is equivalent to death and eternal separation from Ouyang Xiao Leng and her family.
She was thinking about it, but Ouyang Xueye suddenly turned to him and said, "Have a good rest today. I'll ask Elk Immortal to take you to your room later."
At this time, Xiao Libai flew in from the outside and suddenly got into Xia Qiu's arms. Xia Qiu touched its belly and was obviously much rounder than just now. He guessed that it must have gone for food by himself.
"Did you bring a child with you?" Ouyang Xueye looked at Xiao Libai curiously and asked.
Xia Qiu nodded and was worried that he would object to leaving it here.
Unexpectedly, he asked excitedly, "Do you know what this creature is called?"
She shook her head and continued to listen to him.
"It is an extremely rare unicorn rabbit. This kind of creature only exists in the world of soul separation. The number is rare and extremely afraid of life, so it will not appear in front of the soul of the dead. The reason why it likes you so much may be because you don't have the smell of the soul. Take good care of it. It is likely to become a pretty powerful guy! Did you name it?" Ouyang Xueye asked.
"Well, I call it Li Bai!" Xia Qiu nodded and answered.
"What a good name! Little pear white!" Ouyang Xueye sighed and waved his hand to greet Xiao Libai. It felt like a big child.
Xiao Libai was obviously a little wary of him and refused to approach him, but tightened his body and opened his eyes to observe his every move. Xia Qiu kept stroking its little head, which made it gradually calm down. Finally, he no longer avoided the hand stretched out by Ouyang Xueye, let him scratch his neck and let out a satisfactory purr from his stomach.
"I'm afraid Xia Qiu is also tired. I won't bother you today!" Wuyou Shengtong decided to leave earlier.
"Okay, I'll buy you a drink some other day!"
After Ouyang Xueye said that, he sent the Wuyou Holy Child out of Ziyunju, and Xia Qiu also followed them. After sending away the worry-free holy child, Ouyang Xueye called out the elk fairy again, and then said to Xia Qiu, "Usually, most of the time, he is the only one in this Ziyunju except me. Now it's good. You can have a lot of fun when you come to me!"
Xia Qiu nodded to the elk fairy and said, "Hello!"
The elk fairy didn't say anything, but silently nodded in response to her.
"The elk fairy is the longest-lived bauhinia elk on the island. He has stayed on this island for much longer than I have been on this island. He knows many things in the infinite heaven, but unfortunately he can't speak!" Ouyang Hongye said with a little regret.
"So it is." Xia Qiu nodded thoughtfully and answered.
"Although I still want to hear you say more about Xiao Leng, you don't have enough spiritual power. You must be tired after the previous tossing. Let the elk fairy take you back to your room to rest! He can also take you around Ziyunju by the way, so that you can get familiar with the environment here. After saying that, Ouyang Xueye asked the elk fairy to lead Xia Qiu out of the hall and walk in.
After entering the first door, there is a courtyard. The flowers and pools in the courtyard are all filled with purple smoke, which looks like a dream. When passing by the pond, Xia Qiu looked inside. The lotus leaves in the water were swimming with several small red and white fish. The snow lotus planted in the courtyard must be due to Ouyang Xueye's missing for Ran Susu.
Going forward is another building. The building is divided into three floors. The first floor has no wall supported by four columns, and there are stone tables and stone chairs for eating in the middle. On one side, there is a guqin on the low table, and behind the guqin is a rattan screen with no words and flowers. On the other side of the table, there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and behind the table stands a row of shelves that are also made of rattan. The shelves are full of all kinds of books. The platform extending directly ahead leads to the end of Ziyun, where there are low tables and low stools. The tabletop of that table itself is a chessboard. This is the place where Ouyang Xueye usually entertains Wuyou Shengtong for drinking.
After visiting the first floor, the elk fairy led Xia Qiu to the second floor. Fortunately, there were stairs here, otherwise she would be in trouble again. As soon as the stairs came up, there was a square hall. There was a sliding door in each of the four directions, southeast and northwest. The elk fairy opened the one on the right and pointed in. Xia Qiu guessed what he meant, but she still asked just in case.
"Do you want me to live here?"
The elk deer nodded and watched her enter the room. After saluted her outside the door, he gently helped her get the door and leave. She began to carefully observe the place where she was going to live during her stay on Bauhinia Island. As soon as she came in, she was facing a large window across the whole wall. Under the window, there was a row of benches against the wall. The window was to be pushed open horizontally. She tried it. After pushing the bed, she could just sit on the bench and enjoy the scenery outside the window. There is a separate bathroom on the other side, but she studied for a long time and didn't figure out how to release hot water.
From the stairs in the room is a bedroom with windows on three sides. The furnishings in the bedroom are also quite simple. There is only a large bed with curtains on all sides and two cabinets, but it doesn't matter, because she doesn't have any luggage at all in this world.
