Little Peacock Raising a Snake

Chapter 30

The news of Qu Linyan's failure to seize the cold water on Qixia Mountain had already been sent back from the human world. Everyone said that Qu Linyan was seriously injured and fled, but no one knew where she had fled.

Some people guessed that the Niaozu had captured him secretly, but feared that the Jiaozu would retaliate, they did not deal with it publicly.Some people also speculated that she was seriously injured, and perhaps died in some corner where no one cares about.

Just like that, the dignified Jiao Clan patriarch disappeared for half a year, and when he came back, he brought a low-level Bird Clan monster by his side.

In the deep underwater karst cave, spiritual light like smoke flows through it, illuminating the wet and cold stone walls, and also adding a bit of color to the stalactites of different lengths.

The woman in white brought Qu Linyan to the entrance of the enchantment of the place of discussion, looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "The elders in the clan seem to be a little emotional, you..."

"It's okay, I have emotions too." Qu Linyan interrupted with a smile, and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking Xiao Ba back to my place to rest."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and stepped into the light gate in front of him.

……

The stone pillars in the cave are engraved with lifelike Panjiao, and on the east side of the cave wall, there is a high platform built with round stones. On the high platform is a cold jade chair.

Under the high platform, there were heated discussions.

"Acacia has dedicated the dream-weaving shuttle to the patriarch. The patriarch can easily hide his whereabouts. How can he be seriously injured and missing for so long without any news?"

"The patriarch left the valley this time and angered the fox and bird clans, but he did not bring back the spirit stone that saved the former patriarch, but he brought back a little demon from the bird clan. I am afraid that he is not greedy for the world of mortals."

"When will the patriarch be like the former patriarch and understand the priorities..."

Qu Linyan, who was always submissive in the past, felt a little ironic at the shameless words of the elders of the clan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help evoking a hint of irony.

She sat quietly in the position that did not belong to her, and looked indifferently at those clansmen who had always had the right to speak. You commented on her, until everyone finished talking about their dissatisfaction, she Then he asked nonchalantly, "Are you finished?"

The overly contemptuous tone changed Qu Linyan's usual posture, and the clansman's eyes were blank for a moment when they heard the words.

"It was you who urged me to leave the valley this time. The Bird Clan and the Fox Clan have always been friends. When you let me go alone to seize the human treasure, shouldn't you be aware of the consequences of this move?"

"Patriarch, we don't mean to blame you for this."

"En." Qu Linyan responded casually, yawned lazily, and said, "There is no need to explain anything, I understand that after so many years, I really haven't done anything well, there is nothing to deny about that. "

The elders heard this, and hurriedly stepped down the steps to Qu Linyan: "Patriarch, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are talented and intelligent, but your temperament is not good. As long as you concentrate, your achievements in the future will be higher than those of the former patriarch."

"No, no, I really feel that it is inevitable that I will be unable to do what I want." Qu Linyan said, "It seems that if I leave the valley this time, if I want to seize the treasure of the bird family, I must make up my mind to offend the fox bird Why don’t the elites of the two clans, or even the entire demon world, go there with me, instead of going alone?”

"This……"

"It was the same 500 years ago, and it will be the same 500 years later. I was the one who fought the war, and I was the one who fled. I was seriously injured and dying. Fortunately, the little mountain demon rescued me and came back alive after all the hardships. But no one cared about my injuries, and they all blamed me for not doing enough." Qu Linyan said, his eyes were cold, and he swept the clansmen in front of him one by one, "You keep claiming that I am the clan leader, but who really thinks highly of me? "

"Thousands of years ago, my sister went to the human world and never came back. Everyone of you wanted to save her, and everyone wanted me to save her, but who ever thought about it, what if I don't come back?" Qu Linyan said , laughed self-deprecatingly, "If I can't come back, I'm afraid everyone will start discussing who will be the patriarch in the future? After all, in your eyes, I am just a knife that can be pointed at, isn't it? A puppet with any thought?"

"Patriarch, you can't talk nonsense!"

"No one would want to save me, would they?" Qu Linyan stood up with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "My sister, I will save myself, no need to be urged by others. And I, after many times of life and death, understand that I have never done anything for you in this life. I lived it myself, and from now on, I don’t want to live for anyone again.”

For a moment, the clansmen all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"From now on, it doesn't matter if you obey me or not, I will only do what I want to do, and no one has the right to force me to do anything!" Qu Linyan said, his eyes were sharp and decisive, and the Yu clan members were surprised In the gaze, slowly walked down from the high platform.

The tribe subconsciously made way for her, and no one said anything for a while.

Before Qu Linyan left, an elder suddenly said: "Patriarch, there is one more thing... The Fox Clan sent someone here earlier, saying that... all the clans in the demon world are one, and the patriarch is eager to save people. Originally, the matter of Qixia Mountain should not be pursued."

"What you said, it seems that my Jiao clan has admitted that the demon world regards their fox clan as their respect. I also want to thank the fox king for his noble hand?" Qu Linyan turned around and smiled when he heard the words, looking at the elder and said, "If you don't mention it, I will forget that the Jiao clan has made many enemies for thousands of years, and the tolerance of each clan to us is getting lower and lower. I want to join the demon clan. You can weigh one or two in your heart in your free time. If you disagree, Don't tell me, just leave by yourself."

"Patriarch, this is impossible. The gods and demons look down on our monster clan. If we take refuge in the demons, it is tantamount to relying on others..."

"The demon world is no longer what it was 2000 years ago. No matter how powerful a clan is, it will one day bow to the co-lord of the demon world. With the fox clan's attitude, how long can we be free?" Said sarcastically, "Whose fence is not a fence?"

If she insisted on keeping Fu Xiaoba by her side, she would have to face the heavens after all.

Even if the Jiao Clan is attached to the Fox Clan like other races, the Fox Clan will not fight against the Heaven Realm for her.The same attachment, but the people of the demon clan gave her a good enough promise, why would she want to see the face of the fox clan?

Qu Linyan walked out of the oppressive place, looked down and saw Fu Xiaoba squatting beside the wall, and heard her footsteps, immediately raised a pair of clear and bright eyes, and blinked at her a few times.

Qu Linyan squatted down, took Fu Xiaoba's hand, and asked softly, "Why are you squatting here? Didn't I ask someone to take you back to rest first?"

Fu Xiaoba shook his head and said, "I want to wait for you to go back together."

Qu Linyan smiled for a moment, the haze in his heart seemed to be pushed away by this simple sentence, and gently pulled Fu Xiaoba to stand up from the ground.

"Ah..." As soon as Fu Xiaoba stood up, he fell into Qu Linyan's arms unsteadily, subconsciously raised his head to reveal a pair of innocent eyes, and shrunk his mouth in embarrassment, "I... my legs are numb .”

"Do you want me to carry you back?" Qu Linyan asked.

"I can walk by myself!" Fu Xiaoba blushed slightly, half leaning against Qu Linyan, stretched out his hand to rub his calf, but his feet were still numb.

"Let me hug you." Qu Linyan said, with a little effort in his arms, he hugged Fu Xiaoba, turned around and left.

The physique of the Jiao people has always been stronger than many races, and they are born with great strength. Qu Linyan used a blunt weapon like a long mace since he was a child, and it is no problem to lift a thin woman.

Being hugged by Qu Linyan like this, Fu Xiaoba showed a demented look, staring blankly, subconsciously reached out and hooked her neck.

"No one has hugged me like this before." She looked at Qu Linyan with wide eyes, her cheeks were already flushed.

Hearing this, Qu Linyan raised his eyebrows, and said triumphantly, "I'll take off anyone's arm other than me who dares to hug you like this!"

At this point, Qu Linyan's steps were slightly stagnant, his eyebrows were furrowed for a moment, and he asked jealously: "When you were still a peacock, how did the turkey hug you?"

"Grab the neck." Fu Xiaoba responded.

"Huh?" Qu Linyan couldn't help being taken aback, "I'm just asking casually, I don't intend to do anything, so you don't have to lie to me."

"What are you doing to lie to you?" Fu Xiaoba couldn't laugh or cry for a while, it was really unnecessary to be jealous of Fu Zhuochen.

God knows how complicated Fu Xiaoba's mood was when Qu Linyan asked this question. The complicated mood was not because he cared about his brother's arm, but because he couldn't help feeling sorry for his own neck.

There is probably no brother who is more exaggerated than Fu Zhuochen. He usually grabs her by the neck, pokes her wings with a bamboo pole, drives her to a certain direction, and never hugs her even once.

Qu Linyan is really the first person in this world to hug her, and also the only one who has ever hugged her, but it seems disgusting to say such words, so Fu Xiaoba is not ashamed to speak.

She quietly stared at Qu Linyan's slender eyes, then suddenly narrowed them, unable to conceal the joy in her heart.

"What are you doing looking at me?" Qu Linyan asked with a smile, with a bit of narcissism in his tone.

Fu Xiaoba just turned his head and looked away, but didn't answer - he just looked at you twice, to see how beautiful you are.

Seeing that Fu Xiaoba ignored him, Qu Linyan didn't ask any more questions, just hugged her and walked towards home.

Fu Xiaoba couldn't hold back his temper. Seeing that Qu Linyan really didn't talk to him anymore, he quickly strangled her neck until she turned her eyes to him again, and then asked in a low voice, "I see when you came out , your complexion is not very good... Is it because the tribe is criticizing you again?"

Qu Linyan was silent for a long time, and smiled at Fu Xiaoba, indifferently said: "Xiaoba, don't worry, I have made up my mind, I will change my way of life from now on, as long as you stay by my side , Others’ criticism is nothing to me.”

Fu Xiaoba blinked half understandingly, leaned his head lightly on Qu Linyan's thin shoulder, and said softly, "It's good that you're fine."

Qu Linyan looked down at Fu Xiaoba in his arms, and couldn't help asking: "I'll take you to see Ah Qing, okay?"

"En!" Fu Xiaoba nodded lightly.

***

Behind the deepest stone wall of the underwater cave, there is a hidden place blocked by many barriers.

Qu Linyan made seals with both hands, cast a spell to open a small entrance, turned around and held Fu Xiaoba's hand, and walked in together.

It was a cave covered in ice, the walls were icy blue, and the cold air flowed in the air like smoke, a bit like a dream.

In the middle of the cave, there is a bed made of black ice, and a woman who has lost all vitality is lying on the bed.

Guided by Qu Linyan, Fu Xiaoba walked to the Xuanbing bed, saw the woman's face clearly, his nose was sore for a moment, and tears welled up in his red eyes.

This is Ah Qing, the woman in the dream who protects her and Qu Linyan everywhere.

This woman named Qu Muqing was originally such a gentle person, with every frown and smile she looked like a banished fairy, worthy of all the good things in the world.

But it was such a person, before she could really meet her, she closed her eyes and fell into a long sleep, her complexion pale as paper.

Fu Xiaoba raised his teary eyes and looked at Qu Linyan seriously: "Xiao Hei, I can see the day when she wakes up, right?"

"Yes." Qu Linyan stroked her cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "I said before, she will definitely like you very much, just like in a dream."

"En!" Fu Xiaoba nodded emphatically, leaned over to the edge of the cold bed, stared at Qu Muqing's cheek for a moment, then frowned and said, "Ah Qing, Xiao Hei and I are waiting for you to wake up, why don't you wake up?" You must wake up..."

The tone was childish and full of anticipation, as if waiting for a long-lost old friend to reunite with him.

After saying that, she got up and tugged on Qu Linyan's sleeve, and the two walked out of the icy cave together.

It's just that at the moment when he walked out of the blinding barrier, Fu Xiaoba opened his eyes and saw the woman in white from earlier.

She saw a trace of disbelief in the woman's gloomy eyes, as if she was asking, but she didn't say a word.

Fu Xiaoba turned his head to look at Qu Linyan in a daze, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Qu Linyan gently pinched the back of Fu Xiaoba's hand, signaling her not to be afraid, and raised one hand, and in the next second, the Dream Weaving Shuttle reached the palm of her hand.

She took two steps forward, handed the dream-weaving shuttle to the woman in white, then looked up at the stone wall behind her as if nothing had happened, and said: "I haven't been back for a long time, I miss her a little."

The woman took the dream-weaving shuttle and frowned slightly: "Ayan, you brought outsiders into the forbidden area of ​​the clan."

"Xiangsi, Xiao Ba is not an outsider." Qu Linyan said earnestly, "She will be my wife, someone who I will hold in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life and regard her as a treasure."

Hearing the words, Acacia couldn't help being surprised, her eyes stared at Fu Xiaoba for a long time, and then slowly said: "It's just because she saved you?"

"She didn't just save me." Qu Linyan said, turning his head to look at Fu Xiaoba, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to melt ice and snow at that moment.

Fu Xiaoba tilted his head and stared at Qu Linyan in a daze. After a long time, he heard her say: "If I hadn't met her, I would have almost forgotten what it feels like to be alive."

At that moment, Fu Xiaoba felt the corners of his eyes sore, as if nectar was dripping down his heart, ushering in a season of warm spring and flowers blooming.

She looked back again, only to see Xiangsi with lowered eyebrows, silently passing the two of them, followed by a white aura, sinking into the wet and cold stone wall behind her.

On the way back, Fu Xiaoba held Qu Linyan's wrist tightly, and asked worriedly, "Is Miss Acacia not welcoming me?"

"How could it be? She is the only person in the entire Jiao clan who cares about me these years..." Qu Linyan said, raising his finger to scratch the bridge of Fu Xiaoba's nose, and said with a smile, "She is very nice, It’s just that I’m not very good at expressing my inner thoughts, and when you get to know each other well, it won’t be the same as before.”

Fu Xiaoba nodded seriously, pondered for a moment, and asked: "I can sense that Xiangsi is not from the Jiao tribe, but my cultivation is too low to sense what race she is."

"Flower family." Qu Linyan said, "She used to be a teardrop flower blooming on the cliff of the Valley of Sad Souls. Suddenly, one day, someone died from calamities, and the demon blood watered the stone wall where she took root, allowing her to bloom. With spiritual wisdom, he cultivated into what he is today."

"Tear marks?" Fu Xiaoba was a little puzzled, "What kind of flower is that, why have I never heard of it before?"

"Tearstain is an extremely rare magic flower in the world. It only blooms on cliffs and cliffs. It is as white as snow, as graceful as a cloud, and contains poison. Although it does not hurt people, it is better than all poisons in the world."

Fu Xiaoba asked curiously: "Since poison doesn't hurt people, why is it better than all poisons in the world?"

"The poison of tears is not in the body, but in the gods." Qu Linyan said, "It is rumored that this flower can awaken the pain that people do not want to remember in the depths of their hearts. It is like a needle prick or a knife cut. Touching it hurts so much that it breaks down and dies."

Qu Linyan said that no matter how beautiful such a magic flower is, people dare not approach it.

At first, that tear stain was in human form, wandering in the Valley of Sorrowful Souls, anyone who saw it would be afraid to avoid her, only Qu Muqing would not avoid her.

Qu Mu lightly said that everything in the world has a spirit. Once the spiritual wisdom is opened, good and evil only lie in the heart. Snakes and scorpions can still be good with one heart, let alone a weak flower demon?

Later, Qu Mu easily brought the tear stain back to the clan.

"Then why is she called Acacia?"

Qu Linyan couldn't help being silent, and along with the out-of-focus eyes, his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and said: "She took it for herself. At first, no one knew why. It wasn't until my sister left that I realized... It turned out that it was a part of her that was deeply hidden in her heart, and it was hard to move for a long time." Think about it."

"Thousands of years ago, she spent half her life cultivating to keep her sister's soul in the world. For thousands of years, she has continued to use her own spiritual power to keep her sister's body from decaying, just for a tiny glimmer of hope... …even though she and I both know it's going to be hard."

Even if the soul is still there and the body is not decayed, it is difficult to revive a person who has been dead for thousands of years.

"But over the years, whenever I was so tired that I was about to give up, as long as I looked back and saw that she was still trying her best to guard that icy square inch, a new ray of hope would be rekindled in my heart."

Even in the past 1000 years, every ray of sky they glimpsed was so far away, no matter how narrowly escaped death, no matter how bruised and bruised, as long as the lovesickness did not give up, she did not want to give up.

As far as she is concerned, Xiangsi and her family are looking forward to her saving Qu Muqing, but what Xiangsi gives her is not like pressure, but more like a companionship.

Because she knew that what everyone in the Jiao clan wanted was a good patriarch, as long as they could make the Jiao clan better, anyone could do it, and Qu Muqing was not the only one.

She knew that among the entire Jiao clan, only she and Xiangsi were the ones who really cared about Qu Muqing.

Only they will do their best for it.
