Chapter 278 The fickle Qingsong "Forget it, let's go back first. ...
"Forget it, let's go back first." Ye Lu packed himself up and looked at the ghost scholar opposite him who had a worried look on his face, especially the bird in the ghost scholar's hand. It was almost flying over. Fortunately, the ghost scholar was there to stop it.
Ye Lu felt that the evil poison surrounding him had disappeared, so he reached out and caught the bird flying towards him.
Ye Lu put the little bird A Xi on his shoulder.
Ye Lu continued, "I don't think we can find any other clues here. Let's go back and see what's going on with this vine. I hope Qingsong can figure out something else."
After hearing what Ye Lu said, the ghost scholar agreed with it very much.
As for the gap, the two men were not worried at all about being snatched away by others. Just the strange aura that could be seen in the gap and the bad luck in the strange aura were not something that ordinary strange warriors could withstand. Even Ye Lu couldn't get in, so no one else could get in either.
"Sure." Qingsong has always had great insights into plants. Even if this pearl vine is not the strange plant they expected, Qingsong will definitely be able to get some clues they want from it.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar did not stay in this forest for too long.
Ye Lu set up a barrier at the edge of the gap. Unless one has extremely strong ghost power or is particularly proficient in formations, he or she will generally not be able to see the gap through the barrier, preventing any ghost beasts or wild beasts from accidentally entering. When they come back, a powerful and formidable enemy will emerge from the gap.
After doing all this, Ye Lu let go and stepped back.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar hurried back to Chongshan. Once there, Ye Lu didn't even go to the two-story building halfway up the mountain. He rushed straight to the top of the mountain to look for Qingpine.
The ghost scholar followed closely behind.
Under the huge pine tree is a small forest. The thick pine needles are all dropped by the pine tree last time. As an innate spiritual plant, it rarely sheds its leaves unless it wants to. This small piece of world under the tree is filled with powerful wood-attributed power and vigorous vitality. Any animal will not hate such a vibrant environment. There is a small pit not far under the pine tree, and in the pit is a small glowing grass.
The zhi grass stretched its body wantonly under the green pine, and special spores with terrifying vitality and strange power floated from under the umbrella. Not far away, there were a few small silver-haired rabbits lying on the ground with a dazed look on their faces, approaching the zhi grass cautiously, for fear that the timid zhi grass would be frightened and run away.
Unfortunately, the hurried footsteps coming down the mountain made the umbrella of the grass vibrate, and it didn't have time to retract its magical power. As soon as the umbrella closed, the whole grass disappeared without a trace.
The silver-haired rabbits looked up again, but there was no trace of the grass in front of them.
Qingsong's spiritual consciousness was smiling at the scene in front of it in its main body. This was the scene it loved to watch the most in its life. It didn't even need to sense its spiritual consciousness. As long as it saw Zhicao running away in panic, it would know that someone was coming.
Not only its companion, Zhicao is timid but not too afraid of A Lu. On the contrary, it is quite dependent on him. It doesn't matter if Ye Lu comes alone or with the ghost scholar, little Zhicao is not afraid.
Except for the little bird.
The little bird-man hasn't arrived yet. As long as a little breath is revealed, the small grass will surely disappear quickly. The bloody smell and evil spirit are too heavy. Just getting close to it is a burden to a small spiritual plant like grass.
"As soon as I saw Xiao Zhicao leave, I knew you were coming." Qingsong's consciousness floated from its main body to the air, looking at the three people coming up from the mountain with a headache, and then Qingsong's consciousness's gaze fell on Ye Lu: "Why did you come back so quickly this time? Did you encounter any problems along the way?"
Ye Lu must have left Chongshan as he had told Qingsong to look for new ruins. After all, Qingsong had to coordinate all the strange plants in the entire mountain range, and Ye Lu must have gotten Qingsong's consent, as he had a lot of things to do.
Qingsong knew how long Ye Lu would be away, but it was less than half of the agreed time.
Ye Lu was a little helpless: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, but there was an accident on the way, so I can only come back first." As Ye Lu spoke, he shook the heavy A Xi bird in his hand, motioning Qingsong to look at one of the culprits. When they rushed back from the Baiwulin Mountains before, Ye Lu had nothing in his hand, and the A Xi bird couldn't wait to fly from his shoulder to Ye Lu's hand, as if it was determined to take it over.
Ye Lu looked at the little bird with its knife-like eyes erect, and after thinking again and again, he decided to just offer his hands honestly. It felt good.
Qingsong's spiritual gaze indeed fell on Ye Lu's hand. In fact, Qingsong's gaze had swept across the red-feathered bird ball in the companion's hand more than once when Ye Lu and the others came up. A bird with such fluffy feathers is very rare.
"Is this the return of ancestral blood?" Qingsong's tone was a little surprised at first, but after pondering for a moment, he smiled slightly. Obviously, Qingsong also recognized who this red-feathered birdie ball belonged to.
"You look much more obedient now than before." Qingsong's tone was much gentler than before, and there was a slight smile on his face when he commented on Ah Xi's birdie.
Qingsong...it turns out that he loves the cubs more. When Ye Lu heard Qingsong's unusual words, he thought for a moment and soon came to his mind with certainty.
It is obvious that Ximingren often came to Qingsong to practice in the past, especially during the period when his bloodline was suppressed. Ye Lu even strictly ordered Ximingren to go to Qingsong to get some wood spirit energy whenever he had time to prevent the evil energy in his bloodline from breaking through his head. In all these meetings, Ye Lu had never seen Qingsong give Ximingren a good look.
Qingsong's attitude towards the ghost scholar is much gentler than that towards the playful man.
Ye Lu had some guesses at that time, and now his guess has been proved. It is very likely that Qingsong just does not like the attributes of the Ximing people, and always feels that the Ximing people will burn their own leaves.
It's no wonder Qingsong would think too much. It's because the lineage of Zufeng is not very peaceful. The golden-winged Peng bird is famous for its violent temper. If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on Ah Xi's ancestor for being immoral.
Ye Lu never expected that Qingsong Youtian would be so kind to Ximingren.
"!" Ye Lu was deeply shocked.
Qingsong's spiritual consciousness could only sense the shock in the companion's heart, but it couldn't sense anything specific. It wouldn't actively sense the companion's thoughts. Qingsong's spiritual consciousness was flying in the air, looking up and down at the red birdie ball in Ye Lu's hand.
After a moment, Qingsong's consciousness returned to its original position. The surrounding area was filled with a mysterious power of wood attribute. A green mysterious power accompanied by the breeze sprinkled on the bird Ah Xi. The latter immediately chirped in comfort, and the feathers all over its body became visibly fuller.
Seeing this, Ye Lu became more certain of his initial speculation.
Qingsong...just prefers cubs.
This time, Qingsong actually took the initiative to give his magical power to Axi the bird.
Qingsong paused, and forced himself to look away from the red-feathered bird ball, while telling himself in his heart that this bird was a bad bird that could spit fire and thunder, and would definitely burn the tree canopy, so it could not be kept.
"It's okay, it's just a bloodline problem. As long as there is enough magic power, it will grow back." Qingsong tried his best to say this as calmly as possible.
"Thank you." Ye Lu said to Qingsong sincerely. The strange power just now made the mood of the A Xi bird in his hand more stable.
The blood vessels did not start to become violent.
"You're welcome." Qingsong said calmly: "You came back just for this?"
"Of course not only that." Ye Lu shrugged: "If it's just Ah Xi's matter, it's fine. It doesn't matter if he comes back earlier or later."
After Ye Lu finished speaking, he turned and looked at the ghost scholar.
The ghost scholar immediately understood Ye Lu's meaning. He took out the wooden box from the spiritual space and opened it, revealing the dark green rattan core inside.
The vine core is cylindrical in shape, and when the wooden box is opened, a strong and mysterious force permeates out.
The two silver-haired rabbits that were originally lying quietly on the ground suddenly looked up and looked straight at the ghost scholar... and the wooden box in his hand.
The next second, a silver figure flashed by.
The ghost scholar's expression didn't change. He grabbed the two silver rabbit heads with one hand and stuffed them into his arms. The wooden box in his other hand didn't move at all.
"Why are there only two of them on the mountain? You have another brother?" After doing all this, the ghost scholar still had time to lower his head and ask the silver-haired rabbits.
"Chirp..." The two silver-haired rabbits have become accustomed to the way this two-legged beast treats them. They did not resist and stayed in each other's arms very obediently. Only when they saw the wooden box moving away from them did they make anxious sounds.
The ghost scholar blocked their sight directly and said helplessly: "I can't give this to you to eat." After all, it is a special strange plant.
If it's weird, I would be even more afraid.
"There is another one at Wutao's place." Qingsong replied to the ghost scholar. The silver-haired rabbits are quite special. The three of them are very kind to them. They didn't give them names because these three only recognize the name Silver-haired Rabbit.
"What is it doing over there in Wutao?" Ye Lu was also a little surprised.
Qingsong replied calmly: "Because Wutao gave birth to a new peach, it has set its eyes on it."
After hearing this, Ye Lu also had a headache.
Qingsong's words meant that the rabbit had most likely been staring at the peach and would not run far away. One could imagine how big the commotion was over at Shuifu Mountain.
"I'll let Laurel call them back now." Ye Lu felt that the medicine-pounding rabbits wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer, so he had to wait for Laurel to show up.
After saying this, Ye Lu talked to the laurel tree on the other side of his spiritual consciousness, wanting the laurel tree to call back the little rabbit on the top of the Shuifu Mountain on the other side.
"Huh? Really? Can't I eat it?" Laurel asked doubtfully on the other side.
"You can't eat fruits without magic power." Ye Lu said with certainty: "Yuegui, call them back quickly, really? Don't you usually feed them magic food? Don't think I don't know that you have been secretly feeding them leaves and golden kumquats."
The laurel tree smiled guiltily: "Isn't this what it likes? Besides, they didn't really eat it. It was just looking at it!" As it spoke, the laurel tree felt a little justified.
Of course, the laurel tree also obediently called back the companion spirit beast from Shuifu Mountain.
Ye Lu and the other two saw a silver flash as fast as thunder appear halfway up the mountain. It floated on the top of the mountain reluctantly for a moment, then, as if it had made up its mind, flew back to the laurel tree halfway up the mountain.
Seeing this, Ye Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew how much effort the laurel tree had put into giving birth to these three little ones. It had to have all the luck and the right time and place. It took so much hardship to give birth to them. If it were now, under the same conditions, Ye Lu wouldn't dare to say that the laurel tree could still give birth to three companion spirit beasts at once.
Because the laurel tree doted on the three little rabbits, Ye Lu turned a blind eye.
But doesn't that peach have any magical power? Why would the silver-haired rabbit pay special attention to that peach and look like it really wants to eat it? Once the crisis is resolved, Ye Lu regains control of his mind and starts to speculate.
These silver-haired rabbits have very special talents. They complement the laurel tree. Not to mention, their ability to sense moonlight is also very strong. Ye Lu secretly tells them to worship the Moon Rabbit in his heart. It's a pity that the three silver-haired rabbits only recognize the name Silver-haired Rabbit.
In addition, the three Moon-Worshiping Rabbits are extremely picky eaters and will not buy anything unless it is very good. Anything that they can patiently guard must be a rare treasure in the world.
Could it be that there was something special about the new peaches bred by the black peach? Ye Lu couldn't help but start to imagine.
"Where did you find this vine?" Qingsong's words interrupted Ye Lu's thoughts. He turned his head and looked over, just in time to meet Qingsong's serious expression.
