Chu Nan thought for a moment and said, "I guess Master Wei Yu and fellow Daoist Mo have separated, and we have divided our forces into two groups."
After saying that, a group of people quickly divided into two small groups, determined the direction, and were about to pursue them. When one of them passed by, he kicked the green wood sword stuck in the grass and twisted it, which happened to turn the direction back.
"This sword?" Qin Fei frowned, "Who left it? Is that Lan Shu the real person or Fellow Daoist Mo?"
Chu Nan frowned: "Fellow Daoist Mo and the others, how could Lan Shu leave any traces after being hunted down?"
Qin Fei nodded. The atmosphere of Lan Shu was completely gone here. He didn't understand why Mo Huai and the others wanted to stick swords here, so he said: "It's important to catch up with Fellow Daoist Mo and the others."
After the people left, Yunli was about to step forward to mess up the direction of the sword again, when Weiyu came back.
Looking at the kicked sword, he frowned. Judging from the remaining aura around him, Lan Shu had not come back. The ones who came here were monks from their four major sects.
After a while, Mo Huai also turned around, and the two of them discussed the Aoki Sword. They were not sure whether the Aoki Sword had changed direction, so they simply continued looking based on their feelings.
Yunli shrugged. This matter is causing a lot of trouble. Sure enough, as long as there are enough people with different ideas, things will be like a wild horse running wild. No one knows how it will develop.
This time, Master Wei Yu and Mo Huai chose to go to the west and the other to the north.
The corner of Yunli's mouth twitched. Didn't they have the direction of south in their concept?
Forget it, she couldn't stay here for too long, and she didn't want to bump into anyone. Otherwise, if she went out without being poisoned, how could she explain to the people staying outside.
This is the southern part of the swamp, close to Qinyun Temple. Thinking of Huanshi Ling, she simply left the swamp. Time was short and she couldn't do anything else, but it was still possible to confirm whether the three waters were connected.
After leaving the Misty Swamp, the swamp outside was no different from the swamp inside. Except that there was no pervasive miasma, the two were completely from the same source. Even in the corner to her right, there was a bay of water that was half inside the Misty Swamp and half outside.
There was even a fish swimming happily in the water outside, leaving a trail of water behind it.
Yunli stepped into the swamp with one step, and used water magic to raise water columns. He threw out a bowl to catch the poisonous water, then turned around and came outside.
She knelt down and poured a few drops of the poisonous water in the bowl into the fish's water.
The cheerful figure of the fish froze, jumping around in the water, splashing water on her face.
She leaned back and wiped the water from her face. When she looked again, the fish in the water turned sideways and floated on the surface.
"died?"
After murmuring softly, she stretched out her fingers to touch the fish. As soon as she touched the fish's body, the fish suddenly came back to life. It swung its body violently a few times and returned to its joyful state.
Yunli stared at the fish in the water and fell into deep thought. Just now, the fish stiffened, indicating that the water in the misty swamp on the other side was indeed poisonous.
In the same water area, half are poisonous and half are not. How is this possible?
Moreover, the poison that can poison a foundation-building monk inside cannot even kill a fish outside. Why?
Could it be that just a few drops are not toxic enough?
She was so cruel that she poured all the water in the bowl into the water.
However, this time, the fish in the water were not affected at all, as if the water she poured was pure water, and they were still swimming happily.
Yunli's eyes widened, unable to believe what she saw. She was stunned for a moment. She got up again and rushed into the swamp to get water and repeated the previous procedure.
After a while, she came to the conclusion that the water just taken out of the misty swamp was indeed poisonous, but as time passed, the poison disappeared for no reason.
What made the poison disappear?
She frowned. The connected areas and underground water sources were basically connected, so not only this swamp, but also the other three sides should be the same. Once out of the misty swamp, the toxicity of the water flowing out quickly disappeared.
People have lived in the northeast and south for generations. If the water was poisonous, it would have been discovered long ago.
What is not in the Misty Swamp, but is available outside?
She looked around. Generally speaking, sunshine and wind were possible. The misty swamp was filled with miasma, and there was no sunlight. There was no sunshine and no wind. However, there was not always sunshine and wind outside the swamp.
In addition, for people who were poisoned and came out, the poison on their bodies did not dissipate like the poison in the water, even on the corpses. What is the reason for this?
After thinking for a long time, but still having no clue, she got up and headed south.
When the sparkling lake appeared in her field of vision, she exhaled softly. Sure enough, Falling Star Lake and Misty Swamp were connected.
At this time, the sun was passing over the treetops, and the tiny rays of sunlight were shining on the turquoise lake. The waves were sparkling, as if the water was covered with a layer of shiny broken silver, or like crumpled green satin.
She stretched her body and walked lightly on the lake water to Qinyun Temple on the other side of the lake. After a brief search, she came to the place where she found the Huanshi Ling in her memory, and found nothing unusual.
Standing on the edge of the lake and looking over, the lake surface reflecting the sunlight was a bit dazzling. Her eyes were scanning back and forth on the lake surface. She even put her consciousness into the water to investigate a little bit. She found nothing else. However, there were several bones at the bottom of the lake, and another human body. Next to the bones stood a huge stone, which was obviously someone who had been killed.
She secretly sighed in her heart: Taoism is not clean either, there are disputes everywhere.
"Princess, please slow down!" A young woman's clear voice came from behind.
Yunli was stunned and ducked behind a tree.
In the scattered woods, a four or five-year-old girl wearing aqua blue brocade clothes emerged. When she heard the shouts from behind, her watery eyes rolled around, and she squatted behind two lush peach trees. Next, her white and tender little hands brought all the peach blossoms scattered around to her feet, and some of the petals were stepped on by her feet.
Yunli frowned and used a wind spirit technique to blow away all the petals under her feet.
The peach blossoms flying around attracted the attention of the woman in azure clothes who was chasing after her. She walked behind the tree and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the little girl squatting on the ground with a depressed look on her face.
Seeing the woman's face clearly, Yunli was stunned. This was Qinghe, the maid of the Princess Mansion, Lu'e's younger sister. Eight years later, the little girl back then had grown up, and her face could vaguely see her former appearance.
She stared blankly at the little girl squatting behind the tree, thinking of the princess' voice just now, was this little girl her sister? !
Qinghe knelt down, helped the little girl wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Princess, why are you here? The princess is looking for you."
Yunli's eyes lit up, her mother was here too! She clenched her fists excitedly and looked back into the depths of the peach forest, but saw no one coming.
She turned to look at the little girl under the tree again. She smiled sweetly and pointed to the tree above her head, "Let me see if there are any peaches."
Qinghe was happy, "The flowers have just bloomed, and the peaches are still early."
After hearing this, the little girl pouted unhappily and muttered: "How long will it take to wait?"
Yunli smiled, my sister also likes peaches.
After tidying up the little girl, Qinghe pulled her to stand up, "Let's go back first and be careful where we step, don't step on the petals."
The little girl looked at the petals all over the ground, raised one foot, shook it, put it back again, and asked seriously: "Then where should I step?"
Yunli moved her fingertips lightly, and another breeze blew by, picking up the petals on the ground and clearing a path.
"This wind is really timely." Qinghe murmured, pulling the little girl towards Qinyun Temple.
After they left, Yunli controlled the flying peach blossoms to gather in a pile under the tree, and then followed them.
As they walked, the little girl suddenly raised her head and asked curiously: "Why can't you step on the peach blossoms?"
Another maid from the front breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them, and replied: "Princess An Yue will feel sorry for her. In the past, when she saw these scattered peach blossoms, she would pick them up and pile them under the tree."
"Sister?" The little girl tilted her head, with a look of disbelief on her face. "My mother said that my sister was very naughty in the past. She had done things like lifting tiles and fishing in rivers, and she had done many dangerous things."
Yunli's face was full of black lines when she heard this: Mother, why do you want to blackmail me in front of your sister? My image! Also, when I destroyed the flowers, I only managed to kill a few pots.
Qinghe explained with a smile: "Princess An Yue is normal to other flowers, but she cherishes peach blossoms very much and is reluctant to hurt them at all."

All the way to immortality
