Crane Spring Township, Changsheng Island surrounded by blue lake water, cranes surround the stone pavilion in the center of the island, as if guarding the sleeping Feather Crane Immortal. A long time has passed since he last entered the state of soul separation, but he still has no intention of waking up.
Meeting Heihe again reminded him of many things, including the gate he passed through when the god Qiansu brought him into the divine realm. That door was hidden somewhere in the golden maple forest. Even though it had been so long, he still believed that he could successfully find it.
Now that he has lost his magical talisman, it may be difficult for him to pass through the door smoothly, but if it is just his soul, it may be a different matter. He vaguely remembered that there was someone in that maple forest who could help him, but he couldn't remember who that person was. He had lost too many memories, so sometimes he had to trust his own perception. . He knew very well the risks he would take in doing so. Even if he could successfully enter the door, he would still have to climb the sacred steps, and his soul would probably be wiped out before reaching the divine realm, but he had to make a desperate move.
Because the appearance of Heihe reminded him of another key figure related to his fall from the divine realm, that is Suzaku, the son of the god Gansu. Before telling the Demon King Fox and the others about this, he had to personally confirm whether his guess was correct to the God of Heaven, Gansu.
Was the person who stole the talisman and gave it to Heihe the Lord Suzaku? And is he punished for this? Furthermore, he also had to figure out why Lord Gansu, the god of heaven who once loved him so much, turned a blind eye to him after he fell into the demon world. Is it because he has some secrets that he doesn’t want to be mentioned again by God’s Domain
When in the state of soul separation, the golden maple forest seen is completely different from the real world. The trees in the entire forest are like handicrafts carved from pure silver, and they are shrouded in sacred white light every day and every night. When the wind blows, the leaves will collide with a sound like silver bells, accompanied by the singing of fireflies.
These fireflies are the souls of the wonderful fireflies in the golden maple forest. They are pure white elves one after another. Their bodies are no bigger than a thumb and they have wings behind them. They sing and pray for every soul that passes through the forest. They once lived in the God's Realm. At that time, they were called white elves. Later, because they were often bullied by the red bee elves, they voluntarily came to this golden maple forest and became the guardians of the door to the God's Realm.
There is a queen among them, and it is she who holds the key to the door to this divine realm. Yuhe Sennin only had a vague impression of her, but he felt strongly that she would help him. He and she seemed to have known each other a long time ago, but he couldn't even remember what she looked like.
When he finally arrived at Jinying Maple Forest, not to mention looking for the key, all he had left was the strength to breathe. The music played by the leaves under him was intertwined with the songs of the fireflies. It was so sacred. It was as if he was in the divine realm again. His body suddenly became unruly and staggered to the point of falling. If his body had not lost part of its strength when passing through the dense branches and leaves, he would have fallen solidly to the ground.
"The injured spiritual beast fell into the demon world. The secrets of the divine realm sank into the middle of the lake."
"Now, he wants to go back."
"What has happened cannot be changed, and the buried truth will eventually be revealed."
"To know everything, you must suffer."
The songs of the fireflies echoed in Yuhe Sage's ears. What they sang was about him, making him feel as if his soul was being peeped into. The fireflies wrapped in white light slowly approached him, repeating the lyrics they had just sung while illuminating his face with their own light.
I don’t know if their singing has a hypnotic effect, or maybe Yuhe Senren himself is too tired. His eyelids began to fight, as if he would fall asleep if he didn’t pay attention. Until, the song of the firefly elf suddenly stopped, the air suddenly became quiet, a refreshing fragrance wafted through, and he suddenly woke up.
When he suddenly opened his eyes, he found that he was half-sitting with his head bent on a tree trunk. A pair of beautiful green eyes were staring at his face intently. When she saw him waking up, she blinked, and the silver eyelashes reflected the light, making him subconsciously turn his face to the side.
Then he looked intently at the firefly elf in front of him. She was slightly taller than the other firefly elves, and her long silver hair seemed to be dotted with stars, with golden light flickering from time to time. What she holds in her hand is not a scepter, but a silver key. The top of the key is in the shape of a flower, and the raised part on the theme is like a small leaf. You don't need to guess, that must be the key to the door to the divine realm, and she is the queen of the fire elves.
Yuhe Immortal was almost stunned by her beauty, and after a while he said: "The White Elf Queen..."
"Shh, no one has called me that for a long time!" The Firefly Elf Queen pressed her unusually small palm on Feather Crane Immortal's mouth to stop him from talking, "White Crane Spirit Beast, please stop talking for the time being. You were seriously injured! The evil power still remains in these wounds, and I saw the blackness of eternal night through the wounds."
The Elf Queen suddenly flew up and handed the key in her hand to the other fire elves around her. Feather Crane Immortal's eyes followed her figure, and he saw her quickly picking off a silver leaf from the tree above his head, and then flying back to him. The other two fireflies flew over with difficulty holding a silver bowl, and they placed the silver bowl on the ground beside the Yuhe Sage.
"I, the White Elf Queen, will use this water from the lotus pond in the divine realm to drive away the harm caused by evil forces to the soul, so that the darkness cannot corrode him, the pain cannot torture him, and let the power return to his body..."
The Firefly Elf Queen was mumbling something. She kept dipping the leaves in her hands into the water in the silver bowl, and then sprinkled the water all over the wounds on Yuhe Sage's body.
The Yuhe Immortal felt that the water was like a chilled spring, or like fresh mint. The areas wetted by it soon no longer felt pain. A silvery light first emitted from the wound, then the light became shallower and fainter, and the wound disappeared. As the Elf Queen said, his body was quickly filled with power, as if he had been reborn.
"Queen of the White Elf, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you!"
Yu Heshengren tried to move his arms and neck a few times, then stood up from the ground and said.
"White Crane Spirit Beast, perhaps you have long forgotten that we have met before when you were still living in the lotus pond in the Divine Realm." The Elf Queen responded with a faint smile on her face.
"I am no longer the White Crane Spirit Beast, and my past memories have become intermittent, but I remembered some terrible things, so I had to see Lord Gansu, the god of heaven. Only he can give me the answer." Crane Immortal unconsciously looked at the key in the Elf Queen's hand.
"No matter where you are, no matter what happens, it has its own reason. Forgetting, there is also a reason for forgetting. Maybe forgetting is the best for you. If it is full of painful memories, then why is it necessary? Remember?"
The Firefly Queen took a few steps back, her beautiful face full of sadness, and she held the key in her hand tighter. Although she also wanted to help Yuhe Sennin, as the custodian of the key to the divine domain, doing so would be tantamount to violating the will of the god Gansu.
"The things I want to know not only involve my past, but also the present and future of the entire demon world. Terrible things are happening, and I know that even if I escape, I can't stop its progress, so I have no choice but to face it!"
Feather Crane Immortal stretched out his hand to the Firefly Elf Queen. She hesitated for a moment, but still flew over, held his fingers with both hands, kissed them and said: "The more secrets you know, the more pain you have to bear, and the more responsibility you have to bear." It will become heavier, are you sure you want to push yourself to that position?”
From her tone, Yuhe Sage could hear her worry and heartache for him, but he still insisted on answering: "Yes, I'm sure! I am willing to do this for the friend who has helped me!"
Hearing his answer, the Firefly Elf Queen laughed with relief. She seemed to have guessed what choice Yuhe Immortal would make, and nodded and said, "Okay! I owed you a share when I was in the God's Domain. Enqing, you must not remember this, right? Take the key and go find the answer you want!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around, nodded to the firefly elf who had temporarily held the key for her, and motioned for him to hand the key to Yuzuru Sage.
Feather Crane Immortal took the key, and the words of the Firefly Elf Queen aroused his curiosity, so he asked: "You said that I helped you in the divine realm. Is this true?"
"Yes, if we had never met, how would you know that I was called the White Elf Queen? If we had never met, how would you know that I exist in this maple forest? Although you have forgotten many things , but you are very sure in your subconscious mind that I will definitely give you the key, right?" When the Firefly Elf Queen said this, she made a playful face at Yuhe Immortal.
"Can you tell me what happened at that time?" Yuhe Immortal felt more and more that he was very familiar with this elf queen.
"Wait until you return from the God's Realm. Maybe you will remember everything without me telling you!" The Elf Queen loosened her fingers holding Yuhe Immortal.
"Okay, thank you for your help, see you later!" Immortal Yuhe knew that the time to part was coming, but he felt a sense of dissonance, as if they had experienced similar partings before.
"See you later, my friend!"
After saying this, the Firefly Queen flew high into the sky. She reluctantly waved to the Feather Crane Immortal, while other firefly elves sang blessing songs for him.
