Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 504 - The Bewitching Lark
Chapter 504 The Bewitching Lark
The atmosphere is subtle and complex. Monsters and the three of Lin Luoran are all waiting near the light door.
The crystal has been taken out again long ago. This place is now warm again, which remains unchanged throughout the year. The hoarfrost on the moss disappears and the moss turns green.
How to do?
This is the common question in the mind of the monsters and the three of Lin Luoran. It is a pity that the two sides just made peace not long ago, and the atmosphere is so serious that they can’t talk casually for a while.
Monsters and cultivators can skip meals. However, Liao has a long lifespan but he is actually the same as a mortal. After running for life for so long, Liao’s stomach growls when no one makes a sound.
He feels very embarrassed. Lin Luoran takes out some fruit and throw them to Liao. The fruit is fleshy with soft skin. After one bite, the fragrance of fruit fills the surrounding area. The lark turns its head. Its round eyes roll a few times, and then it lowers its head and combs the feathers on its wings.
The lark doesn’t run around with an unhumanized body like other monsters. It still has its original body with a beautiful crown on the head and a small and conical mouth. Its wings are long and pointed while its tail is a little short. Its grayish appearance has nothing to do with beauty or deterrence. Only its voice is excellent. It talks endlessly, but it is not annoying.
The bird is looking at Lin Luoran secretly, and Lin Luoran is also looking at it.
Compared with those monsters, the lark looks very weak. However, it can stay here safe and sound. No one can deny its wisdom. Its words are sharp, but Lin Luoran always feels that they are the protective color of the bird.
These monsters have plenty of time to think about it, but Lin Luoran doesn’t, because cyan little fox is still in the hands of “blizzard”. No one knows how long the animal trap Liao threw out casually can stand.
The three of them absolutely have no way to reach the ice peak by themselves. However, how can monsters unite?
The lark on the opposite side is looking at her secretly again. Lin Luoran thinks for a while and takes a handful of cherries out of space with sweet potato leaves. She doesn’t say anything. Others only think she takes something out of the storage space. Although the cherries are a little bigger and reddish, they are nothing strange in the eyes of these monsters.
However, after Lin Luoran invites the lark to taste the cherries produced by space, she actually gets in touch with the lark.
Lin Luoran is surprised by the bird’s wisdom hidden under the twitter. As soon as she begins to talk, the lark interrupts her plan of encouraging the monsters to act. It eats the cherries while talks about ancient legends casually.
“The Green Mountains world used to be the home for all races. However, now it’s a rare thing that a human race appears.” The lark spits out a cherry pit. It looks around for a while, and then lowers its voice to whisper in the ear of Lin Luoran, “Monsters look down on the mountain outside, but I heard that an evil spirit is suppressed there.”
Evil spirit? Lin Luoran rolls her eyes to the lark. Even the cultivators of the Gathering Vitality period is afraid of that thing. How can it just be an ordinary evil spirit. Soul and spirit are the weakest. When White Fairy was under the abyss, it was even afraid of the Taoist wind. Common soul and spirit can not even withstand a Fire Ball spell from cultivators. Compared with cultivators pursuing Tao of nature, Taoists who hunt ghosts just play some little tricks.
But what the lark says is also a clue.
Liao comes forward brazenly, “Then maybe the thing suppressed there is my old acquaintance.”
Speaking of this, he takes a sneaky look at Baojia and then sits down seriously.
Lin Luoran suddenly thinks of something. Liao came here earlier before them, and he is an old monster who has lived for countless years. Although he does not have any personal ability, he is never an “illiterate” in knowledge… If you must compare him to something else, you can say that it is a mobile library of the world of cultivation.
Why is Liao taking a peek at Baojia? If the group of “blizzard” under the altar is an old acquaintance, it can only be Liao’s old acquaintances. How does it have anything to do with Baojia?
Lin Luoran shakes her head, trying to shake this absurd idea out of her mind. Liao then silently mouths words to her.
After guessing for a while, she finally catches the silent syllable that Liao doesn’t utter… Kuizang? What the hell! Lin Luoran has nothing to say with Liao. She turns her head and talks to the lark again, and then she is suddenly stunned.
Liao is not talking about “Kuizang”, but Gui Zang!
Old acquaintance, Baojia, the Green Mountains—there is an old saying from Gui Zang·Qishi, “Chiyou came from Yang River with eight arms, eight toes, and sparse hair. It reached Jiunao to get Kongsang. However, the Yellow Emperor killed it in the Green Mountains.” How can she forget this?!
In the legend of Huaxia, the Yellow Emperor tribe lived in Kunlun Hill with the nine-tailed fox “Lu Wu” as their god of protection protector.
In addition to ordinary mortals, the Jiuli tribe and the Dongyi tribe also live here. They also worship nine-tailed foxes as the god of protection.
When the mist is unveiled, thoughts can easily diverge from a certain point. Lin Luoran narrows her eyes and thinks a lot. Baojia is a descendant of the Jiuli tribe. The fake saintess is “the saintess of the Jiuli Tribe”. Nine-tailed fox is the protector of the Jiuli tribe… No wonder when the fake saintess was about to leave the earth with jade stairs, she wanted to take the cyan little fox with her… Although cyan little fox didn’t know her, the fake saintess had probably known its family.
Chiyou came from Yang River… The Yellow Emperor killed it in the Green Mountains.
Is it possible that the “blizzard” running out from the altar is related to Chiyou?
—or maybe it’s Chiyou!
Liao winks for some reason. If the thing comes out of the altar is actually the ancestor from the family of Baojia, this matter may have something to do with Baojia—however, if Lin Luoran and Liao make a mistake in judgment, Baojia’s life may be in danger!
Lin Luoran hesitates and Liao’s eyes roll quickly. He tries his best to please Baojia. Baojia touches her own face—there is nothing dirty on her face but she always feels that the two people stare at her with a weird look.
Seeing Lin Luoran’s hesitation, the lark is anxious, but it doesn’t show it on its face. It jumps back to the monsters.
As a lark with extremely bad natural abilities, it can be the bird it is now not only because of excellent lucky chance but also its wisdom.
Lin Luoran is here just for saving cyan little fox. However, for these monsters living in the Green Mountains, they will really be dead if the vegetation withers.
Stared at by Liao, Baojia is fidgeting. She runs into the forest with an excuse for breathing fresh air. Someone breaks the silence, and the monsters begin to chat loudly. Some are irritated and say that they can kill all the way to the peak of the Green Mountains. Some say they can work together to break the boundary of the Green Mountains and then go to the human world… Lin Luoran does not refute the opinions. She only calmly tells them the current status of the earth. Monsters are now even more anxious.
They can’t move further nor step back. Does the Tao of nature want to kill all monsters of the Green Mountains?
Lark tilts its head and gets an idea. Taking advantage of the monsters’ commotion, it sneaks along the direction of Baojia.
…
Nolan…wrong, her name is Qin Baojia.
A finger-wide blade of grass entangles her fingertips. Even if she doesn’t admit it, she can’t change the fact that “Nolan Mancia” and “Baojia” are the same person.
“Bao” and “Jia” both have very good connotation in the language of Huaxia. Her birth must be a treasure for the Qin family. She has completely forgotten her history. About this, Baojia feels afraid and envious at the same time. She has been with Lin Luoran in Nami Star so she knows how much Lin Luoran values her friendship with “Qin Baojia”. She is very envious of “Qin Baojia” having such a friend. However, she just wears the shell of “Qin Baojia”, and the core and personality are completely different.
It is not difficult to know from Lin Luoran’s description that “Qin Baojia” is a reckless and enthusiastic person, like fire. However, “Nolan Mancia” is ignorant of her new life. She drifted across the stars and then was adopted. She has no way to be a reckless person.
Does she deserve the friendship of “Qin Baojia and Lin Luoran”?
The grass blades are rubbed by Baojia and now it’s hard to tell they are blades. Light in Baojia’s narrow eyes flashes. Her Snow Sword suddenly unsheathes and cuts to a big tree aside. The blue light disappears, and there is a sharp cry of a bird from the dense branches.
“You!”
A few feathers fall down with the leaves. The lark is very angry.
Baojia stands there holding the sword. She is not angry but smiles, “You follow me sneakily. Why can’t I cut you with my sword?”
The lark feels heartbroken because of the falling feathers. It is jumping up and down while chatting with Baojia. Seeing Baojia’s face full of impatience, it leans forward to bewilder her with words,
“I mean… you are so powerful. Why don’t you help your friends?”
Friends? In the eyes of the monster, she and Lin Luoran are friends?
Forgetting this, when it comes to power, how can the Bearing Essence Period compare to the Gathering Vitality Period! Seeing Lin Luoran’s frowning brows, she knew that this matter will be very difficult to handle. This bad bird actually comes to amuse her!
The lark coos twice, “Don’t look at me with that look. Just now, the other girl and the old man who stole my egg secretly talked a lot. It must be something related to you… and the ice mountain outside!”
Baojia restores the Snow Sword to a hairpin and inserts it back into her hair. She lowers her eyes and no one knows what she is thinking.
“Maybe I am wrong?” The lark sighs and wants to fly away. Baojia suddenly looks up and smiles.
“You are bewitching me to go to the ice peak. What do you know?”
