"By the way..." I roughly guessed that the Bird clan must have experienced some mishap, which is why it is so quiet here, but I still want to confirm with Qinghe... "You are the only one left in the Bird clan now. Yet?"
"They all followed the Yuanchu people to other worlds. In this dimension, there should be... only me, and him..."
"Him? Chi You?!"
I knew they must be related! He is actually from the Bird clan!
Qinghe nodded.
"Are you staying in this dimension because of Chi You? Then why have you been staying under that tree? Instead of monitoring Chi You..."
"I chose to stay because of a man from the early Yuan Dynasty. I followed his words and deeds, and abided by his truth... He didn't ask me to guard Chi You, he just asked me to wait for the flowers to bloom. The person who arrived..."
"What's his name?"
"You mean, that person from the early Yuan Dynasty?"
I nodded.
"He has had too many names, or rather, he has no names..."
"I have also been to the world you lived in before, but when I went there, only my spirit body went. At that time, my spirit body was born in a desert tribe."
I instantly felt like I had been struck by lightning from head to toe! !
I thought of the song that Qinghe sang under the moonlight... Why does it sound familiar to me... That's because I have really heard it!
That was the tune that lingered in my ears when I was lying in a boat coffin in the desert...
My memory began to be confused again, as if a picture flashed before my eyes, like scattered beads, but the pictures I saw could not be coherent. I knew that we were very close. As long as I found and threaded all the beads That line, I can know the huge secret behind it!
"I heard you hum a song before at the lake. Can you sing it again? I feel that the tune is familiar." I wanted to make sure that the song Qinghe hummed was the song I sang at the desert camp. The song I heard while taking refuge in the ship's coffin!
"I'm afraid not, there's no time."
"Why?"
"he came."
Qinghe looked behind me and said, I turned around, and the ghostly lantern swing landed on the central platform behind me at some point! The person standing up above was none other than Chi You!
"Zhang Xiyuan, is it so fast that what I say has no effect?" Chi You was still wearing a gray robe. His eyes were fixed on me, making me feel uncomfortable.
Indeed, this time I forgot what he said and let go of his dove, but Qinghe took me so far away. Could it be that Chi You put some kind of tracker on me? Can you keep up with this?
"I didn't mean it." I stood there helplessly, scratching my head. Originally I wanted to say that I had no choice but to be brought here by Qinghe. Then I thought about how the relationship between the two people was unusual. Maybe If there is any resentment, I want to put all the blame on Qinghe. Wouldn’t that just add fuel to the fire?
"Then tell me why? You are so brave now." Chi You's tone was very calm, but the calmer he said this, the more unsure I was...
"You said you would come to me at dawn, but you didn't come even after dawn. Then, that, that, that's none of my business!" I started to mess around.
"That's all, come with me now!"
After Chi You finished speaking, he was ready to grab my collar!
"Wait a minute!" Qinghe had been silently watching me and Chi You tugging, and now he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Where are you taking him?" Qinghe said, holding one of my arms.
"Humph." Chi You snorted coldly. He didn't even look at Qinghe, but he didn't let go of his grip and held on to my collar!
The two of them secretly compete with each other, which is really painful for me! These two people didn't know what they ate when they grew up, and they were really strong! Soon the fragile robe on my body was overwhelmed and shattered into pieces under the strong force of these two people. In an instant, the air around me became quiet.
A true man acts according to right and wrong, regardless of profit or loss; whether he is good or bad, regardless of success or failure; whether he considers eternity or a lifetime. But the last time I, Zhang Xiyuan, was in such a mess, if I think about it carefully, it was still the last time. Chi You turned his face away and did not look at me. Qinghe, on the other hand, stared at me intently.
"Have you seen enough?"
I simply turned around and faced Qinghe. She didn't hear me at all!
"I said, have you seen enough?"
Only then did she realize that I was talking to her...
"Ah? I've seen enough, I've seen enough... No, who's looking at you? Tsk~" She changed the subject, turned her head to the side casually, and combed her feathers with her hands.
I looked around, but I couldn't find anything to cover my body!
Now that the matter has come to this, the best way not to embarrass others or embarrass yourself is...
"Okay, okay, you can't see me wearing clothes, right?" I waved my hand and just walked around openly.
"You...you, hurry up and find some clothes to put on. This is the treasure palace of our Bird clan. How do you behave like this?" Qinghe saw me walking on the central platform as if there was no one around, and became anxious.
"Do I want to look like this naked? Aren't you two the culprits?" It's so baffling! I questioned Qinghe with my hands on my hips.
"Put it on quickly, it's too indecent." Chi You transformed into another robe from nowhere and threw it on my head. This skill is so useful. When did I learn this skill? When I go back to the world where I live, won’t I make a fortune?
I adjusted my robe, but Chi You and Qing He didn't speak, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
"Okay, what do you say now?"
"Come with me quickly." Chi You pulled me to leave, but Qinghe grabbed my arm again.
"Where are you taking him! Are you going to help you do those dirty things again?!"
When Chi You heard this, his men were stunned, and the two fell into a stalemate again.
"Stop, stop, stop, I finally put it together, are you two ready to tear it apart for me again?"
After Qinghe listened to my words, the hand holding my arm turned into a tight hug.
"Is it a good thing that he is following you and guarding a bunch of gaudy golden ruins here?"
"What can you teach him? Refining elixirs? Dreaming? Has he wasted his whole life in this cage?"
"You yourself know that he is different from us now. Time means nothing to us, but it is different to him, and it will kill him. What are your intentions? In just a few decades, it is like a flower blooming. It's like a fall, and it will pass quickly. The next time we have such an opportunity, it may take another 3,000 years."
It was the first time I saw Chi You, who cherished his words like gold, say so many words in one breath, every word was precious, and Qinghe couldn't refute even half a word of what he said.
I saw hesitation and hesitation on Qinghe's face, she seemed to be giving up...
"But..."
"There is no but. Every second you waste now, you are slowly killing him." Chi You coldly knocked back Qinghe's words.
"No! Listen to me. I don't deny that what you said makes sense, but no matter where he goes, I will follow him! Guard him!" Regarding this matter, Qinghe's tone was extremely firm.
"Then do whatever you want, the legs will grow on you."
Chi You was minding his own business and sat on his lantern swing. Moto and Yusuke also transformed into the lantern swing, and I sat down comfortably.
"Where are we going now?" I asked Chi You.
"You'll know when we get there."
The blue crane was flying not too far or too close beside me. After a while, there was a continuous mountain forest under us. Ever since I was bitten by poisonous insects in the Centaur tribe, I have always been a little repelled and afraid of this kind of dense forest. .
"It's right here, let's land."
As the height continued to decrease, my eyes seemed to be covered with a thick veil, "What's going on?" Why is there such a big smoke here!
"Don't make a fuss, just follow up." I could tell from Chi You's voice that he should be in front of me on the left, so I moved in his direction step by step.
I groped with my hands in the thick fog, "What are you doing in this damn place? You should tell me first!"
But no one on the other end responded to me.
"Where are you!"
There was still silence all around, and I started to panic...
Since I can't see the way out with my naked eyes...then I can only...use my spirit body!
I simply sat cross-legged, concentrated on my breathing, and was ready to withdraw from my spirit body, and that’s when it happened! A pair of strong hands pulled me up from the ground from behind!
"who?!"
Just as I was about to speak, a hand covered my mouth.
"Stop talking." What came in his mind was Qinghe's voice.
"What on earth is going on?" I quickly asked what was going on now, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
"I don't know either, but I feel that there is a strong force around us, very close by. I'm afraid it's coming with bad intentions!"
"What is it?" Qinghe's hand grabbed the wound that Can Gang left on my arm. There was thick venom on the surface. She put it under her nose and smelled it. Her expression began to change drastically, especially her pupils! It continued to shrink violently, and finally, the entire pupil turned into a thin line!
Could it be that he was poisoned by snake venom? !
"Are you... okay?" I carefully conveyed the message to Qinghe, but I found that there were fine green hairs on her forehead and ears!
The expression on her face was very dull, and from time to time her head would turn 360 degrees, extremely fast!
"Don't scare me..."
"Don't worry, she's probably hungry." Chi You's powerful voice came into my mind.
"Are you hungry?" I was puzzled. Qinghe had stayed in that bottomless underwater cave for 3,000 years. He shouldn't have become hungry so easily... Besides, she didn't mean that the food she had in the cave was... Are they those crystal stones? What did you see that caused such a big reaction?
"She smelled your scent, so she was hungry. To be precise, it was the smell of your arms."
"Oh?" I was even more surprised. The venom on my arm looked like yellow snot. Is Qinghe's preference so special?
"So, you are still far behind. When you look at the problem, you can only see the present, and you can only see the surface. You only see her as beautiful, and you are kind to those fishmen. You must think she has a good heart. Good, but you can’t see the past or the true body. Do you know what she ate for food in the past?”
"Don't say she is a cannibal?"
"Haha," Chi You sneered, which made me shudder, "She loves food even more than people."
