Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 26: My Heart Is Like the West River
Born in the water town of Jiangnan, it goes without saying that Ying Lili has had a good swimming ability since childhood. However, the strange thing is that as soon as her body sank into the "Hanxing Pool", the surrounding water seemed to be separated by an invisible force, and a path naturally formed on both sides of Ying Lili's body!
What was even more surprising was that at this moment, a faint silver light shrouded the entire body of Ying Lili, and that silver light seemed to be overflowing from the palm of her hand. Ying Lili subconsciously spread out her palm, only then did she discover that a dragon scale had appeared in her palm at some point.
The dragon scales, which were as big as a fingernail, were now emitting a dazzling silver light, separating the bone-chilling pool water from Yinglili's body.
This is something from the Ruoye tribe! Fish scales from the Ruoye people!
But who gave it to him, and when?
Gong Lili subconsciously turned around to look at Wei Xingying, and Wei Xingying naturally saw the dragon scale in her hand. The surprise in his eyes was no less than hers. His throat tightened and two words escaped from his lips. Gong Lili could naturally hear them clearly with her excellent hearing, but she was stunned on the spot, staring at the palm of her hand stupidly, unable to speak for a long time.
uncle.
Long Yu... Is this Long Yu's scale armor? No wonder it's shaped like dragon scales. But when did he give it to me? Why don't I remember it at all? Could it have been when we parted in Yonghui City?
Ying Lili vaguely remembered that when they parted in Yonghui City that day, Long Yu had seriously asked her to stretch out her hand. After she stretched out her hand, he suddenly put his hand on her palm, but she didn't see anything. She thought he was teasing her and never thought about it deeply.
Was it then? Was it then that he quietly imprinted the dragon scale that belonged to him into her palm?
Ying Lili remembered the legend about the Ruoye tribe. According to the legend, if young men and women of the Ruoye tribe fell in love, they would give each other their fish scales as a token of their love.
What was the meaning of Long Yu giving her his own dragon scale so quietly?
Pinglili is a smart person, so he naturally understands what this means.
Is he expressing his feelings to her in this silent way ?
Long Yu, he was always such a considerate man. He would rather keep everything hidden deep in his heart than embarrass her...
Thinking of that best friend who looked down upon the world and treated her with such tenderness, her heart ached. She could give her life for him, but she could not give him what he wanted.
It was a strange coincidence.
She and he, after all, could only stay in that position of being close yet distant...
For some reason, two lines of clear tears quietly slid down her cheeks. She felt Zeze beside her gently pulling her, and Pinglili quickly retracted her inappropriate feelings. Facing Zeze's concerned eyes, she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of that old friend."
Wiping the tears from her face with her backhand, Pinglili quickly shook off the sudden sadness in her heart, and took Zeze to dive down along the deep hole he had pointed out just now. When they came to the whirlpool that Pinglili had discovered with the Life Skill before, Pinglili held Zeze's hand tightly again. She had dived into the deep pool in the Mingyue Canyon of the Shen family before, and had encountered such a whirlpool before, so she was familiar with it and had some experience.
At this time, huge turbulent whirlpools were swirling back and forth beside them. Wherever the dark whirlpool passed, it was like a tornado had passed by. It was similar to the situation last time. Ying Lili relied on his memory and learned the way Yan Xiaoxiao made seals at that time. He made seals with one hand. Then, as expected, a dazzling pillar of light like a star gradually appeared in front of the two of them. The high-speed water flow outside the dark whirlpool suddenly underwent a slight change. Time seemed to stand still and no sound could be heard. The star-like pillar of light was like a huge axe that created the world, forcibly diverting the swirling water flow.
Done!
At this moment, a dark crack suddenly appeared between the separated water flows. Without hesitation, Ying Lili pulled Ze Ze and jumped into the dark crack together. In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Gong Lili opened her eyes again, she found herself and Ze Ze lying in a huge and dry cave.
Looking up, I saw a gap the size of a face above my head. Maybe Zeze and I fell from that gap?
If you look more closely, you will find that there is a vortex stirring constantly above the gap, but the strange thing is that not a drop of water flows out of the gap.
What is going on?
Ping Lili suddenly remembered the magical caves mentioned in the fantasy martial arts novels she had read in the present world. Could it be that she also had such bad luck?
I just don't know if there are any rare treasures hidden in this magical cave? Suddenly I remembered that the purpose of my trip was to find the maid in green. My mood suddenly darkened. It seems that there is no hope for rare treasures. The old witch probably has one.
Looking around, the walls were all made of white jade, which made the cave look extremely bright. There was no feeling of darkness and dampness in the underwater cave as I had imagined before.
Is this place a natural formation or man-made?
At this moment, I felt my palm move slightly, and then a low voice came: "Sister Lili, look, what is that?"
Following the direction of his finger, I saw a faint light not far ahead.
"There is a light ahead. Let's go and take a look." Ping Lili stood up hurriedly, holding Zeze's hand, and walked carefully towards the light. She tried to use the Life-Spirit Technique, but found that her Life-Spirit Technique seemed to have no effect. Could it be that these four walls could block spiritual power?
But there seems to be no way back at this time. The only choice is to move forward. No matter what, since it has come, we will accept it.
After walking about ten feet, the light in front of them became softer, and suddenly a huge stone wall over eight feet high appeared in front of them. The stone wall, as smooth as white jade, was flashing with a faint white light.
It seems that this is the end?
But Yinglili always felt that something seemed wrong.
She stretched out her hand cautiously and touched the stone wall lightly. As soon as her fingertips touched the stone wall, she was frightened by a pair of inky "eyes" that suddenly appeared on the stone wall and took several steps back!
"Oh my god, what is this!" Just as Pinglili was stroking her chest to calm herself down, Zeze shook her hand off and pressed herself against the stone wall: "Master! Master, it's me, Zeze!"
Master? He called those inky eyes Master?
Ying Lili's mouth dropped open. She had imagined countless times before what the stunningly beautiful Zhuo Ao maid in green would look like now. Perhaps she was still as stunningly beautiful as a secluded orchid in a valley, or perhaps she had already become as old and wrinkled as Wei Xingying, or perhaps she was a middle-aged woman with a lingering charm...
But I never expected it to be like this.
A stone wall, a pair of eyes, not to mention human figures, not even a ghost was seen. What is going on?
She was about to speak when the other party's voice reached her eardrum first. "You're finally here."
The cold female voice was exactly the same as it was five hundred years ago.
But why did she say that? Did she know I would come?
At this moment, a blinding beam of light shot out from the stone wall. Ping Lili quickly reached out to block it, but was still a step too slow. The white light shot straight into Ze Ze's brow. Ze Ze let out a cry, and then his small body leaned straight back. Ping Lili quickly reached out to hug him, holding him in his arms, and shouted angrily at the inky eyes on the stone wall: "They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Ze Ze is your apprentice after all. How can you, as their master, do this!"
"I just let him sleep for a while. I want to be alone with you." The voice was very calm. Ying Lili doubtfully used her hand to check Ze Ze's breathing and found that he was fine as usual, as if he was really asleep. Only then did she reluctantly feel relieved, but she did not dare to be disrespectful anymore and still held him tightly in her arms.
"Ahem, how did you know I would come?" Ying Lili cleared her throat and tried to calm herself down.
"Do you think that if I hadn't deliberately released spiritual energy for this kid to detect, you would have been able to find me?" The words spoken in that cold voice were still the same as those of that day, leaving people speechless.
Ping Lili laughed awkwardly. It turned out that it was not Ze Ze's intuition that was amazing, but the other party deliberately wanted her to discover her. So, what was her purpose?
"Well, since you, senior, deliberately wanted to lure me here, don't beat around the bush and tell me what's going on?" At this moment, Ying Lili suddenly calmed down a lot. Since the other party deliberately wanted to lure her here, he must have something to ask of her. In this case, everything would be much easier.
"You are a lot smarter than you were five hundred years ago. No wonder Mo Wutian couldn't do anything to you."
After hearing this, Ying Lili's heart skipped a beat. No wonder Mo Yi's father suddenly changed his mind in Shamo City. It seemed that this woman in green knew a lot of things. Could it be that she was a coward who asked him to kill herself?
But, I have no grudge against her, so why would she do this?
"You want to kill me?" She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness seeped out of her golden brown eyes.
Yinglili has never been a broad-minded person, never. On the contrary, she is very vengeful and will never let go of any grudge.
"Well, I have thought about it before, and for many years, but now I have changed my mind." The other party was more straightforward and had no intention of hiding anything, or perhaps, he was not afraid at all.
"Reason?" Gong Lili thought to herself that she had no grudge against her, and even Yao Ji had only met her a few times during the Yonghui competition. In fact, there was no resentment between them. Why did she not only want to kill her, but also think about it for many years? To make someone "concerned" about her like this, she should at least know the reason.
"Because he gave Yonghui City to you." This soft sentence made Ying Lili speechless again, and he suddenly felt a sense of both laughter and tears in his heart.
