Chapter 213 Fairy Beast in the Lake
After relaxing, Xia Qiu only felt that her feet were weak. She didn't know how long she had been sitting on the ground before she reluctantly stood up. Using the plum blade as a crutch, she walked towards the edge of Qingmei Island step by step.
When she reached the shore of Qingmei Island, she could no longer walk. Rarely, there is a fine sand here, and the white gravel is crystal clear by the moonlight. Xia Qiu sat down under several coconut trees. The fruits of these trees are used to make coconut wine. The nearest winehouse floats with a strong coconut fragrance, which smells particularly comfortable. She couldn't tell why her sense of smell seemed more keen than usual when the soul was separated. She just wanted to sit quietly like this so that she could accumulate some strength to fly back to Bauhinia Island.
Although the flute that summoned the spirit horse still hung around her neck and did not disappear, she did not want to disturb the dragonfly anymore. She didn't know whether it had safely returned to its companions on the island. Recalling the fierceness of the war just now, it had suffered a lot with her. Tomorrow she had to comfort the meritorious minister.
After resting for a long time, she felt that she had some strength in her body, so she got up and tried to fly. It is not difficult to determine the direction of Bauhinia Island, because even if the souls are separated, they will still attract each other. As long as they fly along the feeling, they can definitely go back. It's just that it hasn't been long since she flew. She easily ran out of her accumulated strength. When she lost consciousness, she fell into the lake. The temperature in the water dropped rapidly, but Fortunately, she didn't feel suffocating.
She had no strength to go upstream, so she had to let herself sink. The scene on both sides of the bottom of the lake reminded her of the site of the mermaid residence under the lake of Dongyao Water City that she had been to. Unconsciously, she entered the cracks between the two peaks. Under the light of her pink spiritual fire, she could roughly see the stacked buildings on the two mountains. The square houses were one after another, which was very similar to Bauhinia Island, and there were long-dead Bauhinia trees with only black branches.
With the increasing distance between the water and the water, the weak spiritual fire in her body is gradually not enough to illuminate the surrounding scenery. The dark lake scared her, and a sense of loneliness came. She couldn't help asking: Am I going to die here? Obviously, he won the purple pupil monster that he thought he couldn't defeat at all, but he still couldn't escape such a fate?
At this time, a blue light suddenly flashed past her left. Although the light was not strong, it was particularly obvious because of the dimness of the underwater environment. She couldn't help turning her head to follow the light. In the blue light, it was clearly in the shape of a spirit horse. It was running down in the mountains at the bottom of the lake, as if chasing her. After the spirit horse finally paralleled to her, it jumped up from the mountain and swam in her direction.
As soon as it bottomed its head, it carried the position of her weak abdomen, and then took her back to the mountain and continued to run down the mountain road. She wanted to beg if it could take her back to the lake, but she could only spit out a string of blisters when she opened her mouth.
The temperature at the bottom of the water was getting lower and lower, and her consciousness became in a trance. I don't know how long it took to run by the suddenly emerging spirit horse, but her body suddenly warmed up, and her consciousness also recovered with this warmth. It has taken her to the bottom of the lake, which is full of many self-luminous plants, some like aquatic plants, some like mushrooms, and some colorful cotton-shaped flowers.
The spirit horse under him slowed down, and finally it stopped, as if it wanted her to get off her back. She thought it would be difficult to turn down from behind the spirit horse, but it was unexpectedly easy. When she got to the ground, she found that the spirit horse might still be a young horse, because it was much shorter than dragonflies.
She thought: It's hard for you to take me to run underwater for so long. You must be exhausted.
The little spirit horse arched her hand with its head, as if it had heard what was thinking in her line, and then it looked at her with its round eyes and blinked. She felt that what it meant was to follow her, so she followed it. The feeling of walking underwater is more relaxed than when walking in Dongyao, and with those densely growing luminous plants, the surroundings are no longer dim. Although she didn't know where it was going to take her, the feeling of following it gave her an indescribable reassurance.
She could clearly detect that the underwater temperature was getting warmer and warmer. Not far away, the entrance of a cave appeared in front of them. The little spirit horse walked towards the huge cave without looking back, and she had to keep up with it closely.
There is no water when you don't walk far in the cave. Not only that, it is much brighter here than outside, because there is a mass of white flame suspended in the cave. Those flames seemed to be self-conscious. They would lean over tentatively when she walked with it. At first, she was still a little scared, but they did not hurt her. They just turned around her body a few times and would automatically return to their original position.
The warmth she felt just now came from this cave. She couldn't help guessing that the cave itself might be a living being, because she could even hear the sound of her heart beating, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
The little spirit horse has taken her to the deepest part of the cave, which is much wider than the place they just walked through. On a high platform, a huge white spirit horse is lying there with its eyes closed to rest, and there are many white flames on its head similar to those seen by Xia Qiu. But when she looked carefully into the white flames, she was surprised to find that there was a young spirit horse in each flame. Although they were of different colors, they were all asleep like little angels.
The white spirit horse with closed eyes and felt her arrival. She opened her eyes and stood up from the high platform. Now she realized that it was much taller than she thought, and its back was about three meters high. It lowered its head and reflected her face in the huge pupil. Just when Xia Qiu was at a loss, it began to open its mouth and speak.
"Are you a human? It's really strange to be able to come here with your own spiritual power!"
From her voice, this is a female spirit horse. Its manners and speech reveal a noble temperament, which makes Xia Qiu in awe. She replied, "Yes! Excuse me, what is this place? And you are..."
Before she finished speaking, the female spirit horse said, "This is called the spiritual hole, which is the place where the spirit horse was born. I have been here before the infinite heaven was formed. My name is Silver, the mother of all spirit horses, and can also be called the fairy beast in the lake! Then who are you?"
"My name is Xia Qiu. As you said, I am a human being. For some special reason, I have to flee to this infinite heaven to join the owner of Bauhinia Island, who is also a former demon king fox Ouyang Xueye." Xia Qiu responded respectfully.
"What a little girl with a strange experience! I didn't expect that my shy son Huixing would lead you here. It is much weaker than my other children since it was born, so it is quite inferior. Even if it is an adult, it is still far less than its brothers and sisters, so I left it by my side.
Yin looked at the star gently, as if it was a treasure in front of her. Xia Qiu could see its special love for the star. Although it was the first time she saw the mother of the spirit horse, she boldly pleaded: "I fought with a purple pupil monster when the soul was separated. Although I was lucky enough to win, I also used all my strength. Later, I unconsciously fell into the lake. Fortunately, I was saved by Huixing, but I had to return to Bauhinia Island!" I hope you can help me!"
"No wonder I feel inexplicable ** on the lake tonight. So that's it! Originally, I didn't want to have anything to do with the things on the shore. Seeing that you and Huixing are predestined, I will make an exception to help you once!" After saying that, Yin spit out a bead surrounded by a white flame. It seemed that the shape of the bead was no different from that of a pearl, about the size of a thumb cover, and it could float in the air wonderfully. Yin looked at Xia Qiu and continued, "Swallow this bead that contains part of my spiritual power. It will definitely help you regain the power to return to the lake."
Xia Qiu looked at the bank gratefully and said, "Thank you!"
Then he took the bead from the air and swallowed it without hesitation. The bead slid down her throat with a faint fragrance and warm smell. Soon, she felt bursts of heat all over her body from the inside out. While the heat expanded, she also felt an unprecedented force growing rapidly in her body.
"Now you should be able to go back to the shore. Huixing takes you between the two peaks you pass when you fall!" Yin said with a smile in his eyes and corners of his mouth.
It looks so kind, as if Xia Qiu is also her child. Xia Qiu guessed that every time Yin sent his children away, he probably looked like this.
After saying goodbye to Silver, she followed Huixing back to the position between the two peaks. Huixing's eyes were full of reluctance. This was the first time it came into contact with the soul from the land. The girl in front of him gave it a gentle feeling, just like the pink spiritual flame emitted by her body, which made it naturally put down its original defense against the outside world. Perhaps after that, it will also have courage. Say goodbye to your mother and go to the world on the shore.
Xia Qiu stretched out his arm to put his arm around Huixing's neck and rubbed his forehead with his cheeks. Tears couldn't help flowing from his eyes and scattered into the lake. If it hadn't been for its help, she might have died alone in the cold lake. Unable to speak, she could only express her gratitude to it with such movements.
After a while, Huixing arched her and tried to tell her that the time for parting had come. She let go of her hand, nodded to it, and then swam to the lake above her head. Only then did she find that the beads given to her by silver not only gave her the spiritual power to rush to the surface of the water. She only gently pedaled up and swam far away. In a short time, she came to the lake.
The feeling of seeing the seven-color moon again can't be described in words. She jumped out of the lake like a dolphin and flew into the air, and the power in her body was still gushing out, which also made her spiritual fire more and more powerful. Bauhinia Island is right in front of her. She really wants to quickly return to Ziyunju's own ** and return to Xiaolibai's side. For her at this moment, what could be better than there?
