Coming out of the place that resembled a shopping street, the Redbud Elk Cart quickly took Xia Qiu and the others to an open area. Here, Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of the Demon Horse Forest that she had visited before. Countless horses, redbud elk, antelopes, and animals that couldn't be named were gnawing grass leisurely on the open grassland.
Xiaolibai could no longer hold back and got out of her arms, taking the lead in flying out of the car window. No matter Xia Qiu called its name from behind, she couldn't call it back, so she just watched it flying around in the sky, looking at other animals curiously.
"I almost forgot that you brought this little guy with you!" Holy Child Wuyou said.
"Is it still far from the island owner's mansion?" Xia Qiu looked around and saw that the other side of the plain seemed to be close to the lake, so she asked him.
"Look up!" the Holy Boy Wuyou pointed his finger out the window and said.
Xia Qiu poked his head out of the car window and saw a house built on a purple cloud hanging in mid-air. This stumped her. Ever since she entered the realm of soul separation, she had no strength at all. Instead, she had completely transformed back into a mortal. So she asked helplessly: "Are we going to go up here!?"
"Exactly! The mansion of the owner of Bauhinia Island, Ouyang Xueye, is called Ziyunju. Didn't you know that you can have a panoramic view of the entire Bauhinia Island from his house by leaning on the railing!" Wuyou Holy Child responded with unlimited enjoyment. The most satisfying thing is that I can enjoy the scenery of the island and the moonlight in the sky while drinking and chatting with Ouyang Xueye.
"It seems I have to ask you to tell him to come down!" Xia Qiu thought for a while and said.
"What? Are you worried that you won't be able to go up?" The worry-free Saint Boy started to enjoy himself as he spoke. He couldn't stop laughing for a while, and even laughed until he was out of breath.
Xia Qiu murmured in her heart: You can go up easily, but of course you don't understand my distress.
Unexpectedly, the worry-free holy boy seemed to have changed as soon as he left the Soul-saving Ship. He was originally serious and suddenly turned into a naughty boy. Seeing that Xia Qiu suddenly had a bad idea, he decided to leave her under the purple cloud for a while to make her anxious, so he said, "I'll go up first!"
Then he jumped up and flew to Ziyun Residence and disappeared. Xia Qiu thought he was just joking with her and would come back to pick her up soon, so she didn't take it seriously, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement at all.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. She looked up and saw a man in white riding a jade-colored horse galloping towards her. Under Ziyunju, he stretched out his hand and pulled the horse's reins, flew off the horse and came to Xia Qiu without even touching the ground. He grabbed her waist and took her flying above Ziyun.
The man in white let go of his hand on the cloud, which startled Xia Qiu. He thought he would fall from the cloud, but unexpectedly his feet firmly stepped on the stone slab hidden in the cloud. Seeing the two of them coming up, the Holy Child Wuyou smiled and came over and said, "I wanted to tease her a little before bringing her up, but I didn't expect that you met before I could introduce them."
"Who is this?" The man in white looked up and down at the little girl in front of him and asked curiously.
"Her name is Xia Qiu, and she is Ouyang Xiaoleng's blood pact maker. I brought her here for you. If you want anything else, just ask her yourself!" Wuyou Holy Child responded.
When he heard Ouyang Xiaoleng's name, the originally gentle gaze of the man in white suddenly became extremely deep, and his gray-blue pupils were like a lake at night. Xia Qiu was shocked from the first moment she saw him. Apart from the fact that he looked older than Ouyang Xiaoleng, his body shape and appearance were almost identical to him, and even his voice was very similar. But he always had a smile on his face and his eyes were gentler, but now his eyes changed slightly and he looked more like Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Let's talk about it first!" The man in white raised his hand and said, gesturing for her and the Holy Child Wuyou to enter the building above the cloud.
The three words "Ziyunju" were hung on the main entrance of the building. As soon as you walked in, you were greeted by a spacious hall. The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple. There are two calligraphy paintings hanging on the wall facing the door. One says "On the peak of a misty cloud" and the other says "Living in the wind is the most carefree." On the wall to the right hangs a large portrait of a beautiful woman holding a baby in her arms.
Xia Qiu suddenly remembered that she had seen the man in white in front of her when she was in a state of soul separation, as well as the mother and son in this painting. The ones in the painting are none other than Ran Susu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, mother and son, and the man in white is definitely Ouyang Xueye.
The man in white asked her and the Holy Boy Wuyou to sit down. As soon as they sat on the chairs, an old man with white hair and white eyebrows and a kind face walked out of the door next to them. He was holding a tray in his hand, and when he walked in front of everyone, he took a cup from the tray and handed it over. The strange thing is that everyone got a different cup. I don't know what the significance of this is, or maybe he just Take whatever you want.
What Ouyang Xueye took was a white jade cup without any patterns on it; the Wuyou Holy Boy's cup was a wood carving cup that was always pure black; and the cup given to Xia Qiu was a plum blossom-shaped red jade cup. After filling everyone's cups with fragrant hot tea, he bowed and retreated through the door.
"I am Xiao Leng's father, Ouyang Xueye. Now can you tell me why you came to Bauhinia Island?" After the old man retreated, the man in white asked. In fact, without him opening his mouth, as long as he saw the appearance of father and son, he would feel that there was no suspense that they were father and son.
Xia Qiu told Ouyang Xueye the reason why he came to the Infinite Heaven. He was silent for a while and then said to the Holy Child Wuyou: "Thank you Holy Child for taking such a big risk and bringing her to Bauhinia Island! I have my own plans for what to do next.”
"Ahem, is this just a piece of cake? Besides, it's not difficult for me to bring her in. But how are you going to get her out later?"
"Yes, I don't have any particularly good ideas right now. I can only take it one step at a time!"
Xia Qiu thought to herself: Why did he say such an important thing so ambiguously? If she couldn't return to her body within the time limit told by Immortal Yuhe, then for her it would be the same as death and being with Ouyang Xiaoleng. Their families are separated forever.
Just as she was thinking about it, Ouyang Xueye suddenly turned to him and said, "You should have a good rest today. I will ask Elk Fairy to take you to your room later."
At this time, Xiao Libai flew in from the outside and suddenly got into Xia Qiu's arms. When Xia Qiu touched its belly, it was obviously much rounder than before, and guessed that it must have been looking for food on its own.
"You brought a child with you?" Ouyang Xueye looked at Xiaolibai curiously and asked.
Xia Qiu nodded, a little worried that he would object to keeping it here.
Unexpectedly, he asked excitedly: "Do you know what this creature is called?"
She shook her head and continued to listen to him.
"It is an extremely rare unicorn rabbit. This kind of creature only exists in the soul-living world. It is rare in number and extremely afraid of strangers, so it will not appear in front of the dead soul easily. The reason why it likes you so much may be because of your body. There is no smell of dead souls. Take good care of it, it will probably become a very powerful guy! Have you given it a name?" Ouyang Xueye asked.
"Well, I call it Li Bai!" Xia Qiu nodded.
"What a good name! Little Libai!" Ouyang Xueye sighed and waved to say hello to Little Libai, feeling like a big child.
Xiao Libai was obviously still a little wary of him and refused to get close to him. Instead, she tightened her body and watched his every move with wide eyes. Xia Qiu kept stroking its little head, which gradually made it calm down. Finally, it no longer avoided Ouyang Xueye's stretched out hand, and allowed him to scratch its neck, and let out a satisfied sound from its stomach. snore.
"I'm afraid Xia Qiu is also tired. I won't disturb you today!" Wuyou Holy Child decided to leave early.
"Okay, I'll invite you over for a drink another day!"
After Ouyang Xueye said this, he sent Wuyou Holy Child out of Ziyun Residence, and Xia Qiu followed them. After sending away the Holy Child Wuyou, Ouyang Xueye called out the Elk Immortal again, and then said to Xia Qiu: "Normally, most of the time, besides me, he is the only one in Ziyun Juli. Now it's great, you can It will be a lot more lively if you come to my place!"
Xia Qiu nodded to the Elk Fairy and said, "Hello!"
The Elk Fairy didn't speak, but nodded silently in response to her.
"Elk Immortal is the transformation of the longest-lived redbud elk on this island. He has stayed on this island much longer than me. He knows many things about the infinite heaven. It's a pity that he can't speak!" Ouyang Hongye Said with a little regret.
"That's it." Xia Qiu nodded thoughtfully.
"Although I still want to hear you say more about Xiao Leng, you don't have enough spiritual power. You must be tired after all the previous troubles. Just let Elk Fairy take you back to your room to rest! He can also stop by. Let me show you around Ziyun Juli so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment here." After Ouyang Xueye said that, he asked the Elk Fairy to lead Xia Qiu out of the hall and walk inside.
After entering the first door, there is a courtyard. The flowers, plants and pools in the courtyard are all filled with purple smoke, which looks so dreamlike. When passing by the pond, Xia Qiu looked inside and saw a few small red and white fish swimming under the lotus leaves in the water. The snow lotus planted in the courtyard must be due to Ouyang Xueye's longing for Ran Susu.
Further forward is another building. The building is divided into three floors. The first floor has no walls and is supported only by four pillars. In the middle are stone tables and chairs for eating. There is a guqin lying on the low table on one side, and behind the guqin is a rattan screen with no words or flowers. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table on the other side. Behind the table is a row of shelves also made of rattan. The shelves are filled with various books. The platform extending directly in front reaches the end of Ziyun. There is a low table and low stools. The top of the table itself is a chessboard. This is where Ouyang Xueye usually entertains the Holy Child Wuyou for drinks.
After visiting the first floor, Elk Fairy led Xia Qiu to the second floor. Fortunately, there were stairs here, otherwise she would have been in trouble again. Coming up from the stairs was a square hall with a sliding door in each of the four directions, southeast and northwest. The Elk Immortal opened the one on the right and pointed inside. Xia Qiu guessed what he meant, but just in case she Still asked.
"You want me to live here?"
The Elk Fairy nodded, watched her walk into the room, saluted her outside the door, then gently closed the door for her and left. She began to carefully observe the place where she was going to live during her stay on Bauhinia Island. When she entered, she faced a large window across the entire wall. Under the window, there was a row of benches leaning against the wall. The window had to be pushed horizontally. She tried it, and after pushing the bed, she could just sit on the bench and enjoy the view outside the window. There was a separate bathroom on the other side, but she couldn't figure out how to release hot water after studying it for a long time.
Going up the stairs in the room is a bedroom with windows on three sides. The furnishings in the bedroom are also quite simple, with only a large bed with curtains on all sides and two cabinets, but it doesn't matter, because in this world She didn't have any luggage at all.
