"This is Huaicheng."
The blue skirt and white blouse made the fairy girl's graceful figure even more beautiful. After taking the candy painting handed to her by the boss, Su Yuli turned on her tiptoes in front of Eluma, with a pair of smart eyes. His eyes were full of smiles, "The human court is prosperous, and the moon is in the star of Huaicheng. This is the most prosperous and prosperous area of the human court."
"The little girl knows a lot."
The elder brother who drew the candy man happily put the money into his bag. His dark skin had a radiance unique to working people under the sun. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is not only liked by those literati, but also by ignorant people like us. If this is your first time, little girl, then you are very lucky."
The sugar painting stall is very simple, with a slate, a few spoons, a bowl of sugar and a stove. It was clearly the dog days of summer, but this old man kept himself tidy. Whether it was the stall or himself, it was hard for anyone to feel bad about him. You know, in other countries, this kind of hawker stalls never care about hygiene. For this group of people, if they can earn three copper coins while cleaning up, they can not take a bath once a year.
Eluma, who has experienced several restarts, is no longer the ignorant envoy she once was. She has also learned to be aware of the subtleties while getting along with Zhou Li, Herinen, Magnum III and others. She can see the style of the human court and its prosperity from the faces of these people at the bottom of the human court. Even this kind of hawker knows how to clean himself up and retain his dignity, which is enough to prove that the development of human family has surpassed most countries in the outside world.
"yes."
Eluma's beautiful eyes showed indescribable emotions. She looked at this peaceful and peaceful city and the smiling people with mixed emotions in her heart, "It's such a good city."
Su Yuli seemed to hear Eluma's thoughts, but she did not expose it. Instead, she stuffed a glass-cup sugar painting into Eluma's hand, and said with a smile in her clear voice, "Eat some." Well, sweet things will make you feel better."
"Thanks."
Eluma took the candy painting and thanked her. The taste of the candy painting was very ordinary, just the sweetness of pure white sugar. But when Eluma walked on the clean and tidy city streets and walked through the lively and cheerful crowd, she felt that the sugar painting also had a different kind of sweetness. Beside her, the cheerful elf girl approached everything she could with curiosity. As a self-proclaimed otaku, Su Yuli rarely comes to such lively places except for the small courtyard called Renjianle.
Of course, this was not Su Yuli's original intention. She is a girl who likes excitement and crowds, which is evident from the fact that she likes to meet goblins in the courtyard for drinks. However, since she is the master of the Demon Court and her body contains the core of the Demon Court, leaving the Demon Court for a long time will cause the Demon Court to collapse, so Su Yuli rarely leaves the small courtyard. But this time, everything is different.
"I didn't expect this thing to have such an effect."
Su Yuli took out the yellow jade that Eluma gave her, put it in the sun and looked at the warm brilliance reflected in it. She marveled at it and said: "The stone of omniscience, listening to the name, I thought it was the kind of stone that is the most important thing in the world." As for the encyclopedia, I didn’t expect it to retain energy.”
"yes."
Eluma on the side also walked out of the confusion in her heart, looked at the jade, and sighed: "Victoria told me when she handed this jade to me. She gave it to me, but it does not mean that this jade will affect My destiny. I never thought that this prophecy would be fulfilled here."
The jade the two were talking about was the jade Victoria gave to Eluma when she left the Great Library. After giving the jade to Eluma, Victoria specifically told her that the jade would definitely play a unique role in unexpected places. At first, Eluma thought that this jade stone could show her the way, but what she didn't expect was that in the end, this all-knowing stone turned out to be a battery.
That's right, batteries.
Su Yuli's body contained the prayers from the Demon Court. These prayers condensed in Su Yuli's heart, and finally Su Yuli's wish transformed into the Demon Court and stood on the Three Eastern Courts. Therefore, the most essence of Demon Court is Su Yuli's wish. In other words, Su Yuli is a large battery that has been delivering nutrients to Demon Court. Once Su Yuli leaves for too long, the power supply will be cut off, and finally Demon Court will also Will fall into dusk.
So the question is, what exactly is the Stone of Omniscient? ,
"A jade without energy is indeed meaningless in the hands of others. But in my hands, it can store the prayers in my heart. Eluma, this friend of yours is really full of ideas."
Taking the jade back into her arms, Su Yuli sighed with emotion. Yes, the essence of this jade is actually an empty stone. According to common sense, to exert the power of this stone requires a powerful energy source, and generally speaking, this energy source will be Victoria, which means Victoria will become the energy of this stone. But this time, Victoria did not charge the jade, but handed the empty shell to the other party.
This is a very magical phenomenon. Jade has no energy. Su Yuli supplied Yaoting’s prayers as energy to the jade, and the two of them did not ask about the jade. This resulted in the jade’s energy flowing continuously and being unable to consumption. And the Demon Court's prayer contained in this jade will eventually return along the original path, that is, return to the Demon Court.
After sighing at Victoria's wisdom, the two also came to the most prosperous area of Huaicheng - Yuhu Garden. This is a complex of buildings built on a lake called "Shangyu Lake". Most of the buildings are wide courtyards with glazed gold tiles, embroidered boats and painted boats, and most of them are covered with lotus paintings.
"The last time I came here was the three-court meeting held by that boy Ying Ji. If we just talk about the scenery, it's not much in front of the Fairy Forest, but if you include these painted boats and brocade buildings..."
Turn your wrist, snap your fingers, and a ray of sunshine flows in the center of the lake. The girl with a tall figure and a beautiful face had her eyes wandering, and her gentleness even calmed the surface of the lake. Su Yuli gently held her delicate and white fingertips as green as green, and a rainbow-like long bridge slowly appeared in front of the two of them.
The lake blue skirt is like gentle waves on the water, the hosta ties up the long silky hair, and the slender ponytail makes the woman's original delicacy fall on top of her handsomeness. Su Yuli is a scholar and a poet, but she does not have the weakness and entanglement of a scholar at all. Instead, she is generous and grows as proudly as a green lotus. She tapped her toes and landed on the Rainbow Bridge, stretched out her hand, leaned over slightly, and said to the surprised Eluma:
"This is Thirteen Miles from Hongqiao. This is the respect paid by the Human Court and the Demon Court to you and Your Excellency Zhou Li. Please come with me, Lord Divine Envoy."
The rainbow on the blue waves, the beautiful jade-like girl under the sky, and the water and sky are connected together. The beacon fire was not lit, and the blood color gradually faded. Eluma's blue eyes, which were originally stained red by the war, also returned to their former clarity at this moment. After the haze in her heart dissipated, Eluma, who had always been worried, finally smiled.
She stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the white palm. The black embroidered skirt she had already put on was also dyed with a warm light in the sun, and the black mist in Eluma's eyes was also dimmed with a touch of softness. She walked slowly onto Hongqiao and walked side by side with Su Yuli. At this moment, when two picturesque women step onto the road to Hongqiao, it is a beautiful scene that only exists in books.
The talented scholars and beauties on the painting boat not only looked surprised when they saw this scene, but even stumbled out and took out their brushes and paper to record this moment. The reason why it is called Yuhu Garden is because Ying Ji, the master of the human court, once visited this place in person to talk about the future with the masters of the demon court and the fairy court. And the way they go to the so-called "fairyland" is this Hongqiao. At this moment, the legendary Hongqiao appears in front of these literati. Isn't this a huge temptation?
Of course, Eluma and Su Yuli didn't know what happened in Yuhu Garden. The moment they stepped into Hongqiao, they had left the Three Eastern Courts and entered a wonderful world.
Lines and dots intersect with each other, and weird words circulate in every corner. Eluma and Su Yuli walked on the bridge, whose color gradually faded away, leaving only black and white, heading towards the world that the long bridge led to.
"Among the three courts of humans, immortals, and demons, the human court has the most interactions with the outside world, because we all know that the three eastern courts are just a continent in the world of Gaia, not all of them. Standing still will only lead to self-destruction, so someone must take the responsibility to communicate with the outside world. Responsibility for communication.”
Maybe the bridge was too long, or maybe Su Yuli was a fairy who couldn't stop talking. On this colorless road, Su Yuli began to talk about the Three Eastern Courts.
"As for our Demon Court, it's more interesting."
Su Yuli clasped her hands behind her back and danced lightly. From time to time she would look back at the lines that appeared on the road, "As for Ren Ting, the craftsmanship is good, and the poems written by the literati are also okay, but they are only good and okay. We fairies Well, most of them don’t like to interact with people, that is, they are a bit of a homebody.”
Standing on tiptoes and curiously looking at the twisted lines on the side, Su Yuli continued: "But, fairies generally live a long time, but our minds are still delicate and our emotions are rich, so we will always understand a lot of art or art in our long life. Literature. For example, our paintings often hit people’s hearts the most because we have experienced too much and seen too much. Even if we rarely go out, in the long dimension of life, we have also seen too many human joys and sorrows. , and finally hide it all in my heart."
"So, our Demon Court is a business card of the Three Eastern Courts. If you want to understand the Three Eastern Courts, you will look for traces in our Demon Court's books."
After passing through an arch that looked like it was made of lines, Su Yuli tilted her head, smiled mysteriously, and said softly: "As for the Immortal Courtyard, it has never appeared in the outside world."
The so-called immortal has the word "human" and the word "mountain". If you press the mountain on the desire of the human heart, you can become an immortal.
"Immortals are different from gods."
Stepping on the curved text on the side, Su Yuli leaned back, stood firmly on a point, and then said to Eluma: "Gods have their own missions and their own desires. They want to collect faith. Growing your own sect is different."
Gently jumping to Eluma's side, Su Yuli gently rubbed her fingertips, and the rainbow that lost its color slowly flowed, "Xian is a human being, a person who is strong and suppresses the desires in his heart. This is what Xian has for himself. Description and evaluation. They are very powerful, far more powerful than anyone imagines, but they choose to put down all desires and emotions and raise the mountains one after another in their hearts."
"Why would they do this?"
Eluma is a little puzzled. She has seen people who hide their desires deep in their hearts, just like Don Quixote. It is impossible for her not to like eating delicious food and wearing luxurious headdresses, but she suppresses them with her kindness and purity. By living with these things, she was also suppressing her desires. However, these immortals chose a closed path and even closed their own feelings, which Eluma couldn't understand.
"Why?"
Su Yuli raised her eyebrows and tilted her head. After thinking for a moment, Su Yuli said softly: "Because of fear."
"Um?"
Eluma was stunned. She couldn't understand Su Yuli's words for a while.
fear?
"Yes, fear."
Seeing Eluma's doubts, Su Yuli nodded, repeated her words, and then said softly: "A kind of fear buried deep in the heart. Immortals have long understood the laws of all things, growth and death, birth, old age, sickness and death, Everything rotates slowly in the unequal equality. Just like the grass will turn into ashes, and the ashes will fall to the ground to become nutrients and raise new grass, equivalent substitution, all things are conserved, this is the law."
"However, the world of Gaia has lost its rules."
Stretching out her hand and looking at the power in her hand that definitely did not belong to her, Su Yuli said with a complex expression: "Human beings have magic energy, but magic energy does not obey the rules at all. It is not conserved and even exceeds the scope of what this world can bear. . Human beings clearly have the power to transform, but they constantly use it in wars with each other."
"The Immortal once said that the world is like a bottle. Everything in the bottle is fixed and the capacity of the bottle remains unchanged. However, the magic energy is like external water constantly flowing into the bottle. Not only do we not consume this water, but crazily hit others on the head with water. Sometimes, we used water to eliminate the inhabitants of another bottle, and seemed to get more land. But the bottle was so big, but the water kept flowing. In the end, this The bottle has no choice but to die."
"The immortals had fear in their hearts, so they made a decision. They wanted to go to the bottle's pass and find the source of the water that continued to flow into the bottle."
"Then... stand in the world that no one can see, holding on to the heaven and the earth."
Reach out and push open the non-existent door.
A paper.
A piece of paper with a fairy drawn on it.
"This is the Fairy Garden."
Looking at the stunned Eluma, Su Yuli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a strange element in her voice. It's just like···
Word.
Yes, words. Obviously he heard the other party's words, but those words also appeared in his eyes. These words seemed to be bound in a frame that no one could see except Eluma, reminding Eluma what the other party said.
Wait a moment.
Eluma was suddenly stunned. She found that the words she was thinking seemed to have turned into words and appeared around her. She turned her head but saw nothing.
"That's right, now, you and I are just words and pictures on paper."
Opening her arms, the girl in the painting has a simple smile, and her voice is full of excitement, "A piece of paper, a piece of paper that exists in the cracks."
"Welcome to the Fairy Garden."
