After having fun, the two lay quietly on the stone bed. The quilt was filled with dried flower petals. It was thick and fragrant. They could not feel the hardness of the stone nor its coldness. This is a fairyland on earth, Shen Yuanqiong thought vaguely. Bixiazi was beside him, within reach. He could hear the subtle and messy breathing, and smell the subtle body fragrance on his skin. What was she thinking? He couldn't guess. For a while, she seemed to be whispering in Shen Yuanqiong's ear. Her voice floated from a very far away place, was blown away by the wind, and turned into a few meaningless notes. His eyelids were astringent and as heavy as lead. He responded unconsciously a few times and quickly fell asleep.
I have never slept so soundly! Shen Yuanqiong was awakened by the bright sunshine in the morning. His eyes were filled with golden light, which made people cry. He quickly raised his hand to block his eyes, and subconsciously looked for the person he slept with last night, but was surprised that Bixiazi was not around! Is it an erotic dream? There are chirping birds outside the window, and the wind carries the breath of spring and summer, warmth and incense, which makes people's hearts jump for joy. He gradually relaxed, stood up and looked out the window, seeing Bixiazi's graceful figure. She was as clean as the clear spring in the mountains in early autumn. With a gentle wave of her hand, petals from the tree fell one after another, clinging to her body and turning into a gorgeous dress.
How amazing! Boil flowers for food, make beds with flowers, and make clothes with flowers. Even the most magnificent imagination in this world cannot guess! Shen Yuanqiong secretly rejoiced that the disaster was over, and it was a blessing in disguise. He came to this overseas fairyland, and everything in front of him was suddenly filled with a strange brilliance, which made him excited.
Bixiazi turned around, smiled sweetly, and waved to him. Shen Yuanqiong walked around to the courtyard as if possessed by an evil spirit, looking at her figure with burning eyes. Everything that happened last night was so vivid in his mind that he couldn't believe it. Bixiazi grabbed his sleeve and warned: "Although the "liquid of hundreds of flowers" can reshape the human body, it is not a long-term solution. It must be synthesized into an elixir to transform the man into a ghost and immortal, so that it can be restored once and for all. Without further ado, sir, please come with me and go to collect the stone heart flowers and open a furnace to refine the medicine. "
Shen Yuanqiong couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and followed her meandering through the flower trees. Bixiazi picked five-color petals from the branches from time to time, and cast a spell to attract the clear sweet spring, and gently kneaded them together to form a thumb-sized pill. He handed it to Shen Yuanqiong and motioned him to take it to satisfy his hunger. her gesture
It was so beautiful. At that moment, Shen Yuanqiong was in a trance. He didn't know whether the scene in front of him was really an illusion, or whether he was still in a dream and had never woken up.
Shen Yuanqiong swallowed the pills in a daze, and a warmth suddenly rose from his belly. Shen Yuanqiong suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic, and his limbs were full of vitality. He couldn't help but ask: "What kind of magic medicine is this?"
Bixiazi smiled and said: "This medicine is called 'Yangchun Pill'. It has the effect of warming the internal organs and resisting the cold. You will know its benefits later!" "
She led Shen Yuanqiong to keep walking westward, over mountains and ridges, as if walking on flat ground. The ordinary human body is as heavy as a mountain and cannot fly, but Shen Yuanqiong took "Liquid of Hundred Flowers" and "Yangchun Pills" successively, and felt that his body was as light as a swallow and his steps were as strong as flying. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, so he Even if you don’t want to be transformed into a ghost or immortal, you can still get immortality at your fingertips.
The flowers and trees gradually became sparse, and there was a cool breath in the air, which was refreshing and dazzling. After walking forward for a while, the surroundings became more and more desolate. There were hard rocks under our feet, and no grass grew. The cold wind howled by, as if we were falling from spring to midwinter, which caught us off guard. But Shen Yuanqiong did not feel cold. Instead, he felt that his internal organs were warm and his hands and feet were warm. Could this be the effect of the elixir?
Bixiazi seemed to have guessed what he was feeling, and explained: "The stone-heart flower grows in a very cold place. There is no grass growing in the place where it grows, and the drops of water turn into ice. Lang Jun got the "liquid of a hundred flowers" to cut off the hair and wash the marrow, and he was reborn, and he swallowed "Yangchun" Pill", I don't feel the biting coldness. If it were an ordinary person, I would have been frozen to death. "
Shen Yuanqiong's heart moved and he asked curiously: "What exactly is the Stone Heart Flower?"
Bixiazi said: "Master once said that the Stone Heart Flower is an immortal treasure that was born when the heaven and earth were first divided. It has many wonderful functions, which can be understood but cannot be explained in words. She asked me to stay on Luohua Island to take care of the Stone Heart Flower. When my husband from the previous life came, I took some essence from the flower heart to make elixir and turned him into a ghost fairy. At that time, I was confused as to why he was a ghost fairy and not an earth fairy. Only after I met you did I understand that my master has a sharp eye. , I have already calculated everything... this
What a fateful arrangement! "
For some reason, her words made Shen Yuanqiong feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't know where the resistance came from. After searching his intestines and stomach, he suddenly remembered the things he did when he was a child.
Shen Yuanqiong was only seven or eight years old at that time. He sneaked out to play in the wild without telling his parents, and watched dung beetles rolling dung balls vigorously across the mountains and ridges in search of their home. He holds the power of life and death, he controls its destiny, and he puts all kinds of obstacles in the way of the beetle. To the little beetle, rocks are mountains, broken branches are giant trees, shallow pits are abyss, and accumulations are The water is like a vast ocean, but the child squatting on the ground is like a god above him. He can turn his hands into clouds and rain, and his life and death can only depend on his thoughts! In the game of playing with the dung beetle, Shen Yuanqiong gained great pleasure, which is beyond the comprehension of adults. But now, he faintly feels the sadness of the dung beetle, which lies deep in his soul, like a poisonous snake entwining itself. His body and mind cannot be completely eliminated even if Bixiazi pledges her body to him.
Regarding the future, ShenYuanqiong had an ominous premonition.
Finally arriving at the other side of the island, Shen Yuanqiong heard the roar of the waves crashing on the shore. A towering cliff blocked the way, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he felt like a tiny ant. , stunned and stunned. Bixiazi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, waking him up from the shock. She pointed to a sunken stone nest and said, "The Stone Heart Flower grows there, do you see it?"
Shen Yuanqiong looked intently and saw a stone cave a few feet high, with a clear spring gurgling out. The cold air was rising, forming ice beads of different sizes and rolling down. They were pushed and rolled down the cliff, melting into several pieces. A mountain stream disappears into the cracks of the rocks. Three jade-colored flowers bloom on the edge of the cave, the size of a bowl. The petals have strong lines and clear edges, as if cut with a knife. The stamens are golden yellow, shrouded in a circle of faint brilliance. The most peculiar thing is that the stone heart flower has no branches, stems and leaves. It grows out of the stone, has deep roots and is integrated with the cliff.
Bixiazi formed a seal with her hands and recited a few spells in a low voice. The spring closed and the ice beads stopped rolling down. Three stone-heart flowers slowly rose from the cave, bursting out with a dazzling brilliance that made it impossible to look at them. A biting coldness hit his face, and the world seemed to freeze in an instant. Shen Yuanqiong couldn't help but take a few steps back, and a ball of heat rose up in his chest and abdomen, dispelling all the coldness. He glanced at Bixiazi and saw that her dress was fluttering. She was not disturbed at all. He knew that he had gone around the gate of hell. If he hadn't taken the "Yangchun Pill" earlier, he would have been frozen into a stick. Popsicle!
