Chapter 256 The Key to the Heart: Get
"Well, I'm the same as you. At first, I felt that my body was very heavy in this world. Later, when I was on the rooftop, I began to try to fly, but I didn't succeed. Then I found that the demon power could not be exerted. At that time, I knew it." After listening to Qianqi's words, Ouyang Xiao Leng also said his feelings.
"Haha, you don't want to jump from the rooftop, do you? But then again, if there is no demonic power, won't we fall? I don't know if we will die in this world? A terrible idea similar to dying in this fictional world suddenly surged in Qianqi's mind.
Ling Yu has been walking silently behind the two people. Their dialogue kept getting into his ears, but it couldn't get into his heart. Although he looked like Ouyang Xiao Leng and others before, he was also concentrating on looking for the key to the heart, in fact, he enjoyed the dream world and even didn't want to return to reality.
Such a calm and comfortable life is exactly what he dreams of. There are parents who love him and a stable place to live. He can go to school like an ordinary boy, and even have his own circle of friends, and Xia Qiu also exists in this world. Even if he understands that she and everything is just a dream, he still feels happy. This happiness is like the sunshine he sees on the rooftop. Warm and comfortable.
Ouyang Xiao Leng noticed the strangeness of Lingyu, so he deliberately slowed down and asked when he was side by side with him, "Are you okay? Do you still feel in a trance?"
"No, I'm fine!" Ling Yu pretended to smile easily, but he didn't want to look at Ouyang Xiao Leng's eyes, because the loneliness in his eyes was too obvious. He knew that Ouyang Xiao Leng's intelligence had already seen through his mind. Moreover, he also understands that this is just his temporary extravagance and greed, but it is unrealistic. They must get the key to the heart and return to the Xianhu Temple. The real Xiaqiu is still waiting for them to save.
At this time, it was getting late. The street scenes on both sides of the road leading to Xia Qiu's home were no different from those in their images. Except for the occasional sound of pedestrians passing by them and the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind, nothing could be heard.
Walking to the big tree not far from the door of Xia Qiu's yard, Ouyang Xiao Leng couldn't help looking at it a few more times. That was the place where he had waited for Xia Qiu many times. When they came outside the courtyard, they happened to meet Xia Qiu's grandfather. At a glance, he recognized these teenagers as Xia Qiu's classmates and waved to them.
Although it is clear that everything they see now is just an illusion in the dream world, the three teenagers still seem a little embarrassed when they meet Xia Qiu's grandfather face to face. After a few seconds of hesitation, Ouyang Xiao Leng greeted him first and said, "Hello, Grandpa!"
"Hello! You are here to find Xiaoqiu, right? I'm going to call her for you!" Xia Qiu's grandfather smiled kindly and opened the small iron gate of the yard for them.
Ouyang Xiao Leng waited for a while in the yard, and Xia Qiu pushed the door and came out. She looked at the three teenagers in front of her, blinked and asked, "Oh, why are you here?"
Looking at her up close like this, Ouyang Xiao Leng's whole body trembled because of excitement, and his nose was also a little sore, and the warm tears almost came out of his eyes. He couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch her cheek, but he took it back and said, "We need your help!"
"Oh? What can I do for you?" Xia Qiu asked them blankly.
"About the key!" Ouyang Xiao Leng answered.
"Well... the key, the key to the heart?" Xia Qiu lowered her eyes and whispered. But when she said these words, it seemed that a switch in her body was suddenly pressed, followed by the light in her eyes. She pretended to be angry and glanced at Ouyang Xiao Leng, "Why did you suddenly mention this again? I remember that when I talked about the legend of Yinyue Lake before, you laughed at me for thinking that there were really fairies in that lake!"
"We believe it now. Maybe the fairy in the lake really exists, and the key!" Ouyang Xiao Leng looked straight at her and said.
"I, I saw the fairy more than once when I was a child. Although my memory is a little blurred, I'm sure that what I saw is her!"
Xia Qiu's words made the three teenagers who were at a loss feel like seeing the sun, and they were suddenly full of hope.
"Really?!" Qianqi grabbed her shoulder excitedly and shook her to ask.
"Well, maybe she will appear again sometime!" Xia Qiu smiled and nodded to him.
"Can you go to Silver Moon Lake with us?" Ouyang Xiao Leng seized the opportunity to ask her.
"Now?" Xia Qiu put away his smile and asked them.
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that the three teenagers couldn't help nodding, not as if they were joking, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! Wait a minute, I'll go in and talk to my grandparents, and also take a coat!"
In this way, Ouyang Xiaolleng and Xia Qiu walked to the Yongchuan Forest together. Along the way, she usually talked to them and talked about almost all the topics in the school. Because now they all have false memories of living in this world at the same time, it is not difficult to communicate with her. As they talked and laughed, they had crossed the path in the Yongchuan forest and reached the silver moon lake in the depths of the forest.
The sun has completely fallen to the horizon, and there are countless projections of stars on the lake with the moonlight. There is no wind in the forest, and there is silence around, so that people standing here can't help but have the illusion of time stagnation.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Xia Qiu's face, who led the way for Ouyang Xiao Leng. She said to the three of them quietly, "I'm here to see her!" And it's strange that she looks like me!"
Ouyang Xiao Leng intuitively felt that the smile did not belong to Xia Qiu. Because she never showed such a ghostly look, she asked loudly, "Who are you?"
She did not answer, but walked back quickly in the direction of the lake.
"Hey!"
Ouyang looked coldly at her feet and was about to step into the water. He stretched out his hand to hold her, but found that the whole lake suddenly formed a thick layer of ice. She turned around and began to glide towards the center of the lake, making all kinds of ice movements from time to time. Occasionally, she stopped and then waved to them as if she wanted them to keep up with her.
"Look, the surface of the lake is similar to a mirror now." Qianqi jumped to the surface of the lake as he spoke.
"I think it's more like your eyes!" Ling Yu turned to Ouyang Xiao Leng and said.
Indeed, when the night sky is reflected on the condensed mirror of the lake, the gray-blue light is just like Ouyang Xiaolen's eyes.
The girl pretending to be Xia Qiu stopped somewhere in the center of the lake. They took a few steps to her. Under the surface of the ice, they finally saw the shining key. Looking down, they found that the Fairy Lake Temple was also under the ice.
"That's it!" Qianqi lay on the ice and exclaimed.
"Finally found it! But how can I take it out?" Ling Yu also followed Qianqi's side.
And Ouyang Xiaoxian looked at the girl pretending to be Xia Qiu and said, "I guess you are the god of the Xianhu Temple!"
The girl who led them listened to him, raised her hand and half covered her mouth and smiled. Then she nodded and said, "I'm right!"
"Why don't you just give us the key? You have to make so many famous things!" Qianqi got up from the ice and asked her angrily.
The god of the Xianhu Temple put away his smile, bit his lip and said, "Because my body has been occupied by the dream ears of the four gods, and the real soul no longer exists because of the evil power of the blood pool. What you see is just an illusory shadow created by myself with the last trace of mana, and the key to making me appear is the dream demon's bead. The illusory I used the beads of the tribute Dream Demon from you to create this world. I have been waiting for the key of my heart to be handed over to you!"
"So that's it! But when we first entered the world, why didn't you give us the key immediately? Ouyang Xiao Leng still couldn't understand the intention of the fairy in the lake.
"It's not that I don't want to, but because the world is completed by the power of the dream beads. Here are the rules here. You have to rely on yourself to realize that I am not Xia Qiu, so that I can explain my true identity and give the key to you. This is something I can't control and change!" The god of the Fairy Lake Temple said helplessly.
"Why did you think of turning into summer and autumn?" Ouyang Xiao Leng continued to ask.
"When I was attacked by Qingyun, I met two other people with him. I recognized one of them as the god of the earth temple, but I had never seen the other girl. Later, I learned from them that the girl was very important to you, so I thought of simply turning into her. She was Xia Qiu. The god of the Fairy Lake Temple told her the story of transforming her into a summer autumn appearance.
"According to what you just said, you have..." Ouyang Xiao Leng suddenly paused.
"Yes, I'm dead! To be precise, my soul has completely disappeared, and all that remains is the body that no longer belongs to me! They used a large amount of blood and corpses to loosen the seal on the source blood pool, which also made me have to appear and fight with them. Unfortunately, Qingyun has several powerful subordinates, and he has the help of the gods and demons. How can I be their opponent? In the end, he was not only defeated, but also forcibly thrown into the blood pool of source crime for soul exchange. Although I tried my best to persevere, the dark power in the blood pool of sin is too strong. My soul was swallowed up uncontrollably, and finally I had to hand over my body to others.
Speaking of this, two lines of tears rolled down from the eyes of the God of the Fairy Lake Temple, which made people feel heart ache.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have doubted you just now!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter!" The god of the Fairy Lake Temple stopped his tears and stretched out his hand to suck out the key under the ice with his last strength. At the same time, her body began to gradually become transparent. She handed the key to Ouyang Xiao Leng and continued, "Take it and save your friends!" Please also help me protect the source of the blood pool of sin. If the power that exists there is used by the evil, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
Her voice is getting weaker and weaker, just like her increasingly unsustainable body, constantly disappearing.
"Thank you!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said loudly to her.
Seeing that the god of the Xianhu Temple was completely hidden in the air, the hearts of the three teenagers standing on the ice surged with unspeakable grief.
