Xue Li's initial judgment was that Zi Lan's injury would require him to recuperate for about fifteen days before he could move again.
Xue Li's judgment was correct, but she underestimated Zi Lan's endurance.
Zi Lan was very able to endure pain, and his physical strength was much greater than that of other people. Most animals would not be able to stand up under the pain of such activities, but after Zi Lan discovered that he seemed to be able to move a little, he endured the severe pain all over his body that was unimaginable to others, and supported his legs and staggered to stand up.
Zi Lan had been lying on the ground unable to move for six days. His whole body was extremely stiff, and the pain from the wounds being torn and cracked due to movement was far beyond his expectations.
Zi Lan broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
But even so, Zi Lan was still surprised that he could walk so quickly. The effect of the medicine was so good that there was a qualitative change in just one night.
Zi Lan looked around and thought that the little nine-tailed fox should not have come today.
He really wanted to get more information about this wonderland as soon as possible.
During these six days when he was like a disabled person, he knew almost nothing about this place, but there were many things in this fairyland that concerned him.
Where exactly is this place? How can I return to the Ninth Heaven? And... why is there no common language here, and why is there a nine-tailed fox that should have disappeared from the world long ago
He thought about it, then limped towards the forest where he had never been before.
Zi Lan was too badly injured, and the spiritual energy in his body was not enough to support him to transform back into a human. He walked all the way to the edge of the forest and slowly circled along the edge.
He soon discovered that this fairyland was very small, probably only as big as a forest. The edge of the fairyland was not very regular, and even among the lower fairylands it was the smallest one.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has everything. The forest has rivers, trees, and many living creatures.
In addition to the intelligent creatures that Zi Lan had seen before around the little nine-tailed fox, there were many other unintelligent animals in the forest, and of many kinds.
Not to mention the various small birds, fish, hares, sheep and cattle, Zi Lan also discovered quite a few ferocious beasts in the forest.
They have now switched to eating fruits, but there is still ferocity in their blood. They are very alert when they meet a giant beast like Zi Lan. However, even if Zi Lan is injured, they can never be his opponent. Under Zi Lan's quiet glance, they all avoid him vigilantly.
Zi Lan even encountered a tigress with two cubs. The tigress who was raising the cubs was the most nervous. When she saw a threatening animal like Zi Lan approaching, she immediately used her body to protect the cubs and quickly left with them.
Zi Lan walked around for quite a while and got a general idea of the situation here.
This is a very new wonderland with a very small population and very underdeveloped development.
He didn't see any villages along the way, and there were very few animals with intelligence. The animals he had seen around the little nine-tailed fox before didn't seem to be able to transform into human bodies, but the little nine-tailed fox should be able to do it. In this way, the little nine-tailed fox might be the only real fairy in the whole fairyland.
No wonder he has been here for so many days. The little nine-tailed fox always runs around in fox form. If all the animals here are unable to transform, she would inevitably feel out of place in human form. It must be more convenient for her to use fox form.
Zi Lan had a rough idea in his mind, so he continued walking along the river. Then at this moment, he saw a small wooden house by the river.
The cabin is located by the water. It looks simple but not shabby. The little nine-tailed fox is pushing the door open with its head and walking out. He squinted his eyes, stretched his body, and then shook his fur.
Xue Li changed the medicine for the big snow wolf's wound yesterday. The feeling of having accomplished the task made her very relaxed, so she got up a little later than usual.
She didn't notice the big snow wolf that was a little far away. She just took some food out of the kitchen and ate it as usual. Then she took out the radish cake that had been steamed earlier and put a few pieces in the basket, intending to take it to the snow wolf.
Zi Lan immediately realized that he had found the home of the little nine-tailed fox, but he had not come here to peek. And judging from the little fox's appearance, it might soon go back to the original place to find him. He suddenly became embarrassed, and tried to avoid it in panic with his ears drooping.
But at this moment, the little fox seemed to see that the weather was not tense enough, so she put down the basket, sat down comfortably on the porch, opened her mouth and began to hum a song.
Zi Lan was about to leave, but the moment he heard the melody, his wolf ears trembled slightly, and he was unconsciously tripped by the song. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xue Li again -
Xueli actually likes singing. According to her aunt, she could hum softly when she was very young, and could sing a complete song when she was a little older. Xueli always sings the same tune, a tune she can't remember where she heard it from. There is no human voice in the song, and the tune is like the warm wind blowing over the bright moon on a spring night, which gives people a fresh, warm and nostalgic feeling.
She didn't know whether she sang well or not, but the little animals always supported her unconditionally. The little rabbits even applauded her, which naturally made Xue Li's self-confidence swell unreasonably, making her sing even more excited.
At this time, Zi Lan saw Xue Li sitting upright in front of the cottage, with her nine snow-white fox tails neatly crossed in front of her body like a skirt. She tilted her neck slightly, and her ears swayed slightly from side to side. She hummed a tune in a soft but pleasant voice.
Soon, small animals began to poke their heads out from the forest.
Xue Li's voice was so soft that not many people would be able to hear it, but many animals were attracted to it. Not only were there the ones Zi Lan had seen before, but many unintelligent birds and small animals also gathered around curiously, nestling near Xue Li and listening to her humming the tune.
Zi Lan was stunned by the scene before her.
Especially the tune that Xueli hummed, which made him stunned where he was.
The source of this piece of music is an ancient immortal music called "Looking for the Moon", which is helpful for immortals to meditate, gain enlightenment and improve their minds, but the original score has been destroyed in an accident.
This kind of ancient fairy music is rare, and the way of playing and reading the music is different from ordinary ones. There are very few rubbings left, and it is impossible to imitate and copy without a certain level of cultivation. Ten thousand years ago, there were 48 fairy music pieces left, each with its own function, different from each other, and irreplaceable. After the original score of this song "Looking for the Moon" was destroyed, it was passed down for hundreds of years, and now only incomplete fragments remain, and it is impossible to play it in its entirety.
In fact, as the fairyland has developed to this day, there are other fairy music that can replace it, but music is elegant, mysterious and elusive. The loss of such an important fairy music is like the most magnificent page missing from an ancient book. People in later generations can only imagine its splendor and it can never be made up, which is ultimately a pity.
When Zi Lan was in the Ninth Heaven, he had heard an incomplete version of "Looking for the Moon", so as soon as he heard the little nine-tailed fox singing the beginning, he recognized it.
Zi Lan looked at Xue Li singing in amazement in the scattered morning sunlight. There was a faint waning moon in the sky that had not yet disappeared, which made her look very ethereal and peaceful.
What Xue Li sang actually seemed to be the complete "Looking for the Moon", and the reactions of the little animals, whether intelligent or not, who listened attentively to the music, further confirmed this point.
Zi Lan was stunned.
If you think about it carefully, the nine-tailed fox disappeared more than a thousand years ago, and the original score of "Looking for the Moon" had not been damaged at that time. It is well known that the nine-tailed fox worships the moon and likes things related to the moon. If the nine-tailed fox tribe still exists today, it is absolutely possible that they still have the complete score of "Looking for the Moon".
Zi Lan moved anxiously on the spot, but he couldn't communicate with the little nine-tailed fox now. Even if he used the Communication Pill, he probably couldn't explain such an important thing in just a few words. What's more, the effect of the Communication Pill was still one-sided.
Zi Lan couldn't think of a solution, so he had to keep the matter to himself and deal with it after he could communicate.
While the Snow Wolf was shocked and confused, Xue Li had finished singing the whole song and wagged her tail comfortably.
The melody of this song often sounded in her mind. She didn't know what the song was called, but when she heard it, she felt nostalgic, warm and comfortable.
After she finished singing, she opened her eyes and saw many small animals gathered in front of her. They seemed to have not yet recovered from the fairy music and their eyes were hazy.
Every time after listening to this song, the animals without intelligence seem to become a little smarter, and the animals with intelligence feel that their thinking has become clearer.
Seeing that everyone was there, Xueli said happily, "You're all here!"
Bai Lu originally came to see if Xue Li could go play with them, but when she heard her singing halfway through, she just lay down beside her and listened along.
Bai Lu had not yet fully recovered from the melody of the fairy music. She said in a daze: "Xue Li, you sing so beautifully."
“Oh.”
Xue Li trembled her ears shyly, but her expression was obviously very happy.
Bai Lu said, "This music is beautiful, and your voice is beautiful too. Do you plan to sing it again?"
Xueli shook her head and said, "No, I was planning to bring food to the wolf. I changed his medicine yesterday, and I wanted to go and see how he is recovering today."
Bai Lu realized it belatedly and said, "So that's how it is..."
Bai Lu asked worriedly, "Do you want us to accompany you? Has the wolf's injury healed?"
Xueli looked at Xiaolu's concerned eyes and shook her head quickly: "No need, I can go there by myself! You guys can play by yourselves first, and I will come to find you after I finish the homework that my aunt asked me to practice every day in the afternoon!"
After Xueli said this, the little deer felt relieved and stopped insisting. He gently waved his short tail to her goodbye and hopped away with the other little animals.
After saying goodbye to the fawn, Xueli picked up the basket and skipped into the forest.
However, before she reached her destination, she saw wolf footprints on the ground that were much larger than those of other animals, and judging by the depth, they might not have recovered very well.
Xue Li was stunned, and then ran into the forest even more happily!
Zi Lan was too embarrassed to greet Xue Li near the cabin, and was afraid that Xue Li wouldn't be able to find him when she came over, so he planned to return to the original place a little earlier. However, Xue Li came faster than he thought. Before Zi Lan could lie back on the ground, Xue Li had already jumped out from the bushes happily!
As soon as she emerged from the bushes, she saw the big white wolf that she had taken good care of for several days finally stood up from the ground and was standing there quietly, looking in her direction.
Xueli immediately ran over and said excitedly: "Awoo! You can stand up now!"
