Chapter 142 Fish Disease; Lotus Seed Soup
The place where the small fish was placed was not by the lake, but halfway up the mountain.
This is the area where ordinary monks of Yuhuanchi live. Compared with the Jinhu Dormitory where only Ji Xueruo lives, the buildings here are obviously much denser. But fortunately it was already dark, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the lights were very sparse.
Even monks who are also Yuhuanchi are divided into three, six or nine levels according to their talent and cultivation. The immortals in Yuhuan Pond are collectively called the Jade Clan. In order to let all the tribesmen advance bravely, the ancestors of the Jade Clan do not care about the so-called division of the main family. As long as their surname is Yu, they can rely on their strength to fight for what they deserve in Yuhuan Pond. everything. It is said that Venerable Shenxi, one of the three masters of the family, walked step by step from the outer circle of Yuhuan Pond to the inner circle, and finally miraculously became the master of the family.
Ji Xueruo concealed her cultivation by relying on her specialized skills. Unless her realms were very different, it would be difficult to spot her, so her journey was smooth.
She also sighed secretly, perhaps because the Yuhuan Pond could not escape from the world and was protected by the formation to protect the pond, so she could not meet any gangsters with evil intentions at all, so the guard program in the pond That's why it's so sparse.
She pushed open the door, used the sound-swallowing technique to silence the sound of the door opening, and quietly walked in.
Unexpectedly, when you enter the door, there is a huge wooden basin. The wooden basin is filled with water, and the little fish wearing a thin shirt is lying quietly in the water.
She blinked her shining eyes, like two gems in the dim candlelight night. And the half of her lower body that was soaked in the water was actually much better than before.
This vigorous fisherman girl has a pair of slender and powerful legs. Now there is a fine black liquid spreading on the legs. There are still fish scales on the calves that have not faded, reflecting the glimmer of light in the water.
After carefully studying this late-night visitor for a while, Xiaoyu quickly put away his vigilance. She remembered Ji Xueruo's appearance, not only because Ji Xueruo had played her for a while, but also because this girl's beauty was unforgettable after seeing her.
"Sister Ji, you came to see me!"
Xiaoyu was a little surprised. She wrapped her clothes tightly and prepared to stand up from the water, but her legs were obviously not enough to support her movements. , just a little splash.
"Well..." Ji Xueruo closed the door and took a few more steps towards the wooden basin.
Being able to see Xiaoyu getting better, most of her worries were relieved.
"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I was sick before, I slept all day long, but now I can't sleep. "
"It seems that Yuhuanchi has done a good job in helping you recover." Ji Xueruo's voice was always cold, even if she expressed concern.
"Yes, I am really grateful to the immortal masters of Yuhuan Pond. I thought I would become such a monster forever."
Xiaoyu squeezed his little hand and looked like a Looking with lingering fear:
"But the most grateful ones are Grandpa and Sister Ji."
"No need to thank me, but your grandpa worked hard fishing for you. When you get better, you must honor him."
"Xiaoyu will do it!" Xiaoyu vowed and said, "After Xiaoyu turned into a monster, he even lost his mind. I was afraid that others would find out, so I asked Sister Ji to dress up in such a crude way like me. Now think about it , It’s really hard for Sister Ji.”
“Fortunately, Xiaoyu is also very beautiful.” It was a bit awkward for Ji Xueruo to comfort people, she added, “Besides, your grandpa and I are just friends. It’s just a deal, I can get your family’s heirloom after just a few days of acting, and I’ll make a lot of money.”
As she said that, she took out the necklace that Lao Yu gave her. Hanging on the necklace is an off-white lotus seed that is almost withered.
Xiaoyu glanced at the necklace and said sadly:
"That thing is actually of no use to us, but it is regarded as a treasure by our ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. Now think about it , It’s actually quite funny.”
“Why do you say that?” Ji Xueruo asked curiously.
Xiaoyu lowered his head and put his hand on his empty collarbone. Her grandfather gave her the necklace when she was three years old, and she grew up wearing it day and night. Now that the necklace is gone, she doesn’t feel lost, but feels relieved.
“The lotus seeds on the necklace are the fruits of the withering of thousands of lotus flowers in Yuhuan Pond. Every time they bear fruit, tens of thousands of lotus seeds are born. The immortals can’t use up these lotus seeds, so they throw them away. Isn’t it foolish and ridiculous to give a reward to a fisherman and make the ancestors of the Yu family feel flattered, and then they have been fishing conscientiously for more than ten generations? ”
Xiaoyu's voice was a little sad, but also a little excited:
"The immortal master who treated me told me that Xiaoyu has spiritual veins. When I am cured, I will be given the surname of Yu and stay in Yuhuan Pond as an immortal. Xiaoyu was very happy when she found out, because I no longer had to be a fisherman. My father and mother died of illness, but I still had to inherit the fate of the Yu family for their fishing achievements. The necklace is like a shackle, so that the Yu family can never leave the lake. Fortunately, Yuhuan Pond accepted me! From now on, there will be no Yu Xiaoyu, only Yu Xiaoyu!”
Ji Xueruo’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. The aura erupting from this dark-skinned fisherman surprised her but also made her familiar.
It turns out that such a weak little girl also wants to change her own destiny.
“Congratulations to Xiaoyu, but don’t be proud of being able to practice. You have just walked to the door.”
“Yeah, I will definitely do it! I will also become Sister Ji is such a powerful and beautiful fairy! And then she wants to bring Grandpa in too!” What's your disease?"
"They say it's called fish disease. In addition to me, two maids in Yuhuanchi also had this disease before, and they all recovered."
"Is it turning into a fish? Do you know the cause of this disease?"
The little fish shook his head, "They don't know either."
"I don't know the disease, so how did they cure you?"
"The lotus seeds of these jade lotuses in Yuhuanchi are an elixir for detoxification. I take one every day, and the disease naturally gets better. It's just that It will take some time to fully recover. "
Lotus seeds... Ji Xueruo looked at the lotus seed necklace in her hand. In the past, the Yu family regarded it as a family heirloom and could not bear to eat it. Now the little one looks at it. The fish was readily available, so no wonder she felt such a big gap.
"Xiaoyu, do you still remember how you got this strange disease?"
When Xiaoyu was sick before, he was in great pain, often in coma, and had no way to communicate at all.
Xiaoyu pondered for a while and replied: "Xiaoyu really didn't know. At that time, he only knew that he was sick and felt uncomfortable lying in bed. He kept wanting to drink water, but he couldn't get enough. . In the end, I could only soak in the fish cellar and ended up like that."
"This disease is really unheard of..."
"Sister Ji, don't worry, Master Xian. Tell me that they also take this disease seriously and will definitely figure it out soon."
"I hope so."
Ji Xueruo sighed, if Xiaoyu also recovers. , the hangnail that could not be pulled out completely healed. In this fairyland-like Yuhuan Pond, is she really too suspicious...
"Sister Ji, have you finished what you have to do when you enter Yuhuan Pond?"
"It's almost there, there are still a few days left." Ji Xueruo nodded.
"Okay! Yuhuan Pond is really great!" Xiaoyu cheered.
"Yes." Ji Xueruo responded softly, and then said, "Then you have a good rest. I will come to see you in two days. When you recover, I will give you some gifts to help you reach the immortal path as soon as possible. "
"Thank you, Sister Ji! Sister Ji, you are so kind!"
Ji Xueruo just nodded and finally turned around to say goodbye to Xiao Yu, then disappeared into the night.
The little fish is still sitting in the wooden basin. She ran her hands over the scales on her calves, and the black blood seemed to swim and gradually spread to her feet.
Behind her, Yu Zhen walked out quietly, like a ghost gradually taking shape in the dark night.
"Xiaoyu did a good job, this is your reward."
Yu Zhen slowly opened her hand, and in her palm were three fresh white lotus seeds, which exuded a refreshing fragrance. Refreshing aroma.
Xiaoyu was frightened by the visitor. She guessed that Yu Zhen would come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
"Master Zhen." Xiaoyu saluted respectfully.
Yu Zhen hummed, walked to the wooden basin, looked at the small fish’s nimble legs covered with black blood vessels and scales, her eyes became more and more obsessed:
“It’s growing more and more. It’s even more beautiful...”
“Master Xie Zhen praised me, it’s all because of Yuhuanchi. But it’s just that I lied to her like this...does it really work?”
“But you did? Which statement is false?!" Yu Zhen's voice suddenly turned cold as ice. He glared at Xiaoyu, "Or do you think in your heart that this is really an illness?"
"Xiaoyu doesn't dare? !”
The little fish’s beauty suddenly turned pale, and he was about to struggle up and kneel down. Yu Zhen held her shoulders, making her unable to move.
"Don't move when you are still in the critical stage of transformation!"
Yu Zhen's tone was so cold that it made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave. He sighed again and said softly:
"Xiaoyu, don't forget that when you were three years old, your grandfather knelt on the board of the boat and begged me to take you into the Immortal Sect, but you had no spiritual veins, so I rejected him. Now you suddenly have spiritual veins, You have to know that this is not a disease, this is a gift given to you by the water god."
The little fish trembled all over and nodded.
“This is just a necessary process of transforming from a mortal to an immortal. Don’t be afraid, accept it, feel its beauty...it’s what turned you into this, isn’t it?”
Yu Zhen is an elegant and handsome middle-aged man. Half of his face is covered by a dark shadow. He stretches out his fingers and rubs Xiaoyu’s face intoxicatedly:
“You used to be exposed to the wind and the sun. , how come you have such delicate skin? Haven’t you always felt inferior to being dark? It doesn’t matter, if you become a fairy, you will become as fair and flawless as them, and become a fairy sought after by thousands of people..."
< br>The trembling of the little fish gradually subsided, and its two straight legs were tightly together.
"Besides, don't you want your grandfather to also receive the gift of the Water God? He is very old. If he doesn't become an immortal, he will be buried..."
Yu Zhentuo He held Xiaoyu's chin and raised her head. Xiaoyu slowly raised his eyes, with an extremely firm look in his eyes.
Yu Zhen looked at her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
He gently opened Xiaoyu's mouth, and Xiaoyu couldn't wait to stick out his tongue to reach for the three lotus seeds, as if he was addicted.
...
The night sky is like a black sea, silent, vast, and mysterious.
Ji Xueruo walked along the wooden path with very gentle steps. She didn't understand that Xiaoyu was fine, so why was she still worried?
If Yuhuanchi really wanted to harm her, she would have no capital to resist in the opponent's territory.
She sighed lightly. At first she was a little proud, thinking that she could see through the secrets of the Yuhuan Pond. Only now did she realize that she had thousands of years of talent, and she couldn't see through it.
Now, she just hopes that Lotus Root Heart will mature as soon as possible, and then return to the Snake Clan with Lotus Root Heart.
She looked up at the sky. The stars and moon were dim tonight.
The mountains in the distance are faint, like clouds, and like floating pavilions in the sky. There are immortals living in the floating pavilion, and there is a little orange-red firelight...
"Holy girl, you are looking for me here so late just to release the sky lanterns?"
You Su stood beside the rocks, and a bright orange-red color could be seen in his pitch-black vision.
The candlelight in the sky lantern was very bright, and it also imprinted a layer of blush on Yudie's extremely beautiful face, making her look like a goddess walking out of the candlelight.
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?" Yudie asked playfully.
You Su responded silently. Perhaps it was because she had been suppressed by this world for so long. The saint was far more lively and delicate than he thought. It could even be said that she was a bit naughty.
You Su rarely refuses the saint's request. He always has a feeling that this young girl in her prime will die soon. Her beauty seems to have a kind of magic power, and people can't bear to watch her wither with regret.
“I read in a book that there is a custom of setting off sky lanterns in the world. Every New Year, people in large and small towns will set up sky lanterns in unison. They write down their wishes and sustenance. Up there, they can reach the dome with the sky lanterns and let Heaven fulfill their prayers. Master You, will you let go of the sky lanterns? "
"I am a practitioner and I don't believe in these things."
< br>"What's wrong with practitioners?" Yudie and Yousu were no longer as polite as they were at the beginning. She sneered, "Just because you are practitioners, you should respect the way of heaven, right?"< br>
"The saint is right." You Su had no intention of refuting.
“I made this sky lantern myself based on the instructions in the book. I don’t know if it can really fly.”
Ever since she lit the candle, Yudie has been holding down the sky lantern intentionally or unintentionally. She doesn't dare to know the answer to the question too soon.
"This one can't fly. Just make another one. It will fly eventually." You Su comforted.
Jade Butterfly glanced at him, feeling a little sad, "But for it, it only has one chance to take off, right? Although the flying lantern behind it is also called a sky lantern, it is not it anymore."
You Su listened and said nothing.
This girl is very naive, but she often expresses some emotions in a mature way. In and out of her words, it always makes people feel that she is hinting at her own destiny - for example, the white dragon carp cannot swim out of the Yuhuan Pond, and cannot fly. Wishing lamp in the sky.
“Young Master You, I’m going to put the sky lanterns on the cliff in front. Thank you, if it weren’t for your company, I would never have been allowed to come here.”
“ In fact, the saint doesn't need to put it in such a high place. If you put the sky lantern in Xiaochi Palace, it will fly as well. He put his hands on his hips and pursed his lips.
You Su hummed softly, and Yudie smiled, with the curve of her mouth as perfect as a crescent moon.
She was barefoot and stood on tiptoes step by step towards the edge of the cliff. She was born with a pair of legs like a peerless dancer, as straight and slender as two pieces of jade chopsticks.
The cliff wind howled, and the sound of beating leaves in the forest could be heard.
Under the cliff, the carved towers and the Yuhuan Pool all fell asleep in the quiet night.
Because You Su was standing behind her, she boldly stepped directly to the edge of the cliff.
The sand and stones at the feet rolled down and hit the mountain wall with a slight sound. Yudie's face turned crimson, not because of shyness, but because of the excitement in her heart.
She rarely had the opportunity to stand in such a dangerous place. Looking at the small things at the foot of the mountain, she actually had the urge to take off.
Yudie held the sky lantern wider than herself with both hands, and then smiled at the sky:
"Young Master You, in my world, you either bloom or wither. So, it either falls to the ground and breaks into pieces, or it goes straight up to the sky. Now, do you understand why I put it here?"
"It will rise into the sky."
"I think so too."
Yudie smiled wildly, her black hair draped like a waterfall, and she let go of the hand holding the sky lantern.
But the next scene made her beauty pale. The lamp had no intention of rising that day. She could feel a faint lift when she pressed it to the ground just now.
I didn’t expect that this lifting force was just an unrealistic fantasy. After it really left the ground, the gravity of the sky lantern itself was like a leg pulled by fate, making it fall endlessly.
Yudie couldn't believe the failure of the sky lantern, just as she didn't want to admit that she would never be able to fly out of this exquisite birdcage.
Her eyes instantly became determined. She leaned forward and stretched out her hand, trying to save the sky lantern!
But she can't save this sky lantern that she made with her own hands and that contains her endless thoughts, just as she can't save herself.
The sand and gravel under her feet did not support her from making such an action, and her figure seemed to be hanging in the air, about to fall towards the cliff!
She looked straight at the earth, and her tears stopped in the air at that moment.
That's it...let's end it...
A strong sense of exhaustion surged into her body, making her body, as light as a willow leaf, as heavy as a stone.
At the critical moment, a generous and strong hand wrapped around her waist.
She turned back in surprise and looked at You Su's face, which was still bright in the dark night:
"Young Master You..."
"Holy Girl, do you really want to die!"
You Su said this almost roaringly.
Yudie didn’t know why, but the hand on her belly gave her a great sense of peace of mind. She couldn't tell whether she was trying to save the lamp, or whether she was confident because she knew the young man behind her would definitely come to save her.
Her eyebrows suddenly shone like stars:
“I don’t want to die now, please save me, Mr. You.”
The hand suddenly tightened, You Su Jianmei Frowning tightly, he squeezed out a few words in a cold voice through his teeth:
"It won't happen again!"
The strong wind poured into their robes, blowing the fluttering skirts and black silk into billows on the lake. of waves.
Jade Butterfly had already let go of the sky lantern. They fell faster than the sky lantern. In her opinion, the sky lantern really flew.
She opened her arms, and the pink sleeves fluttered, like a butterfly spreading its colorful wings.
"Young Master You! It's so high, we won't fall to death!"
Yudie was so excited that she didn't seem to be worried about her own life or death.
"We will all die, but... it will never be today!"
You Su holds Jade Butterfly in one hand, and has unsheathed his sword in the other hand, inserting it on the rock wall to cushion the fall. momentum. The Mo Song Sword made an excited sword cry, and fleeting sparks burst into the air.
You Su is not in the Feather Realm, so of course he can't fly, but as a Lingtai Realm monk, he can't do anything, not to mention, he also masters the Ruyi Wind Control Technique.
He has always used the technique of controlling the wind ladder, and now the technique of controlling the wind finally comes in handy.
They keep falling, but they don’t look like helpless flying catkins, but like fallen leaves lifted by the wind.
Jade Butterfly has never felt so happy. If she could, she would fly in the sky forever.
...
"Young Master You, I'm coming in."
Yu Meng carefully clicked the screen.
"Yes."
You Su closed his eyes and soaked in the warm pool, relieving himself from the fatigue of taking the Saint on a "flight". Every pore on his body greedily absorbed the water from the pool. of nutrients.
Perhaps the saint had already thought about what would happen next when she took him to the cliff.
She retaliated to experience the excitement that she had never tried before, but she suffered a lot from Yu Su, who was her companion.
"Young Master You, it's really hard to play with my young lady." Yu Meng said with a smile while putting the medicinal materials into the water for You Su.
“The saint regards me as a friend, this is what it should be.”
Isn’t it because of the transaction?
Yumeng smiled knowingly:
"Young Master You, this is the lotus seed soup that the lady personally cooked for you. It is very good for your health. She specially told me to let you drink it while it is hot."< br>
As she spoke, she took out a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup from behind her.
In the small white porcelain bowl, the lotus seeds are crystal clear.
