Xue Li asked: "What is the palm star beast?"

Zi Lan replied: "The twenty-eight constellations are symbolized by mythical beasts. We are in charge of the movement of celestial bodies in our own fairyland. We, the Snow Wolf Clan's Zhang Kui Su, and you, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, were originally the Palm Constellations. Each constellation performs its own duties. , in charge of different affairs in the human world. All the constellations form a heavenly palace at the same time, taking turns to control the heavenly palace, and discuss important matters together..."

Having said this, Zi Lan paused and then changed the subject.

"-But having said that, we actually don't do anything except for the affairs of our own stars. Apart from dealing with the movement of heaven and the worship of good and evil spirits in the world, most of the time we do whatever we need to do in the fairyland. , Swordsmanship, Taoism, Woodworking, Painting, everything, and not everyone’s cultivation content matches the stars. The fairyland is actually very diverse and prosperous.”

Xue Li felt dizzy after hearing this: "Do you have everything you need?"

"right."

Zi Lan responded.

"Witches, doctors, musicians, and all kinds of craftsmen can achieve success. All soldiers who can stab with swords, bows, and arrows can achieve enlightenment. There is no fixed number of ways in the world, and there is no distinction between high and low in cultivating the way."

Xue Li nodded in understanding.

But she remembered something, and then asked: "What about those like my aunt? You are talking about mythical beasts. So where will the mortals like my aunt go after they become immortals?"

"Your aunt..."

Zi Lan hesitated when he said this.

Fairy Shaoyin is not an ordinary person. When she returns to the fairy world, she will have the original form of the ancient snow lotus.

But it's hard to tell Xue Li this now. She is too close to Shaoyin, and if she talks too much, she could easily miss Shaoyin's fate.

Zi Lan had no choice but to say in a fair manner: "The human immortals also have their own destinations in the ninth heaven. There are human realms where the immortals gather together, and there are immortal palaces and immortal places where the immortals who ascend to heaven can stand on their own. Most of the immortals and gods who are born with immortal bodies have their own destinations. There are those who have heavenly duties, and those who hold stars, and they also participate in the affairs of heaven, such as the Sun, Moon, and Heavenly Kings. There are also a large number of human gods who serve as heavenly officials. You may think that gods, beasts, humans, and immortals are distinct, but it is true. In the Nine Heavens, there is cooperation in many aspects, and there is no special distinction... The same is true for many flower immortals who have become immortals."

For example, Fairy Shaoyin, as an ancient snow lotus, moved the mountain where she lived to the ninth level of the sky after becoming an immortal, and it became the Snow Lotus Peak.

In fact, there are many sects in the Nine Heavens. Zi Lan only briefly talked about the most basic ones with Xue Li, but Xue Li has never had contact with the outside world, has never been exposed to content other than the Little Fairyland, and even the difference between immortals and mortals is not too great. Can tell clearly.

Zilan found that Xueli knew very little about common sense in the fairy world, so it was difficult to understand what he said. When he heard what he said, Xueli seemed dazzled and confused. Because of this, she didn't seem to understand him now. The origin of.

Zi Lan sighed softly and thought, "Take your time. These things are indeed too abstract just to talk about them. You will naturally understand them when Xue Li reaches the ninth heaven."

But when it came to this, Zi Lan said in a deep voice, thinking of the nine-tailed fox god picture that had been dim for many years in the Xingxu Divine Beast Picture, and couldn't help but said tentatively: "But... the nine-tailed fox has not been seen in Jiuzhongtian for many years."

When Xue Li heard the topic related to her, her ears twitched unconsciously, and she asked curiously: "Why? Doesn't the nine-tailed fox rarely leave its fairyland?"

Zi Lan didn't answer and just asked: "Xueli, why do you live here alone with Fairy Shaoyin? Do you still have any impression of your parents?"

Xue Li thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen my family since I can remember. My aunt said she picked me up in the wind and rain. I was lying alone in the rain, with only a bamboo basket beside me. Wrapped in a blanket and a jade key to unlock this wonderland, my aunt raised me and I know nothing more.”

Xue Li blinked, as if remembering something again, and said, "That's right! I still remember this!"

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and gently hummed a tune in her throat, which was the lost ancient fairy tune "Looking for the Moon".

Xue Li said fondly: "I have remembered this tune since I was a child. My aunt said she never taught me it. Every time I sing it, I will have a warm and at ease feeling. Sometimes I dream about someone holding me and singing this tune. I can’t see the other person’s face clearly. My aunt said that she sometimes feels nostalgic when listening to it, but she seems to have never heard it before.”

"Searching for the Moon" is an ancient song that was lost after the disappearance of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. What Xue Li heard was probably sung to her by her family.

As for Fairy Shaoyin, Shaoyin is more than 8,000 years old in the fairy world. Although she doesn't know the music, it is normal for her to have heard the complete tune of "Looking for the Moon", but she can't remember it in the current calamity.

Zi Lan was silent for a moment and asked, "Can you show me the things you had around you at that time?"

"Yeah!" Xue Li responded, "My aunt has always kept it for me!"

With that said, Xueli stood up, ran quickly to the room, opened an old box, and took out a bamboo basket from inside.

Xue Li didn't really have many things with her at that time. When the bamboo basket was brought over, she took out the Key to Wonderland that she carried with her and handed it to Zi Lan, that was all.

Zi Lan looked at these things.

This bamboo basket is strong and dense, and the velvet blanket is soft and comfortable. Although they are both well-made items, they are ordinary things after all, and it is hard to tell where they were made.

But the jade pendant is different. Even for people who are born from palm star divine beasts, there are actually only a few people who can open the subordinate fairyland. Even if they are not the master of the fairyland or the king of the clan, at least they have important opinions or have great military achievements and have won the grand prize. The meritorious family of gods and immortals.

Xue Li's jade didn't look like it came from the Fairyland Master's family, but Zi Lan now recognized some characters of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and found that Xue Li's name was engraved on one side of the jade. This kind of jade is not the key to all the nine-tailed fox clan's fairylands, but a divine jade that seals a small fairyland inside. The gate to the fairyland is set up at the place where it was first opened.

This kind of jade is mostly given to children by powerful gods and immortals. Because they love children, they are given the title when they are born. Therefore, the children's names will be engraved on the jade key. When the children grow up, they can also play in it and learn to manage the fairyland. Knowledge related to changes in fairyland. This kind of jade pendant is somewhat similar to a longevity lock. It is meant to bring good luck and hope that children will grow up smoothly.

No wonder this wonderland is so small and so pristine.

To say that the number of people in the Nine-tailed Fox Clan who might possess such a jade key is already very small, but unfortunately the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has disappeared for thousands of years. Before Zi Lan met Xue Li, he cared very little about the affairs of this clan. I know a little bit, but I really can't guess the details. Furthermore, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has disappeared for so long. Why would a little fox of her own appear in the wind and rain with this piece of jade in Xue Li? This is actually a question.

Zi Lan didn't say anything for a long time, and only said: "I don't have a clue yet. When I return to Jiuchongtian, I can help you ask my parents."

Xue Li hurriedly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."

Although Xueli was curious about her birth, she grew up in this fairyland. To her, this was the world. She had an aunt who taught her medical skills and took care of her. She also had little white deer and other creatures to play with. Xueli felt very Enriched, not lacking anything compared to being born elsewhere.

She smiled and said: "I have an aunt who has been protecting me and taking care of me. My aunt is like a real mother to me. I live very happily in Wonderland, even if I really can't figure out what's going on. I won’t feel very sorry about it, so you don’t have to worry too much about me, just take your time, don’t rush it.”

Saying that, Xue Li happily took out the notes on Fanyu that she had prepared in advance, and asked enthusiastically: "Is it almost time to learn the language? What are you going to talk about today?"

Zi Lan heard what Xue Li said and saw that she was really optimistic, so she relaxed.

He concentrated, pulled out the fairy language record on his side, and began to explain it to Xue Li.

Xue Li learned the common language very quickly. After a few days, Xue Li almost no longer needed her aunt to communicate and could communicate directly with Zi Lan in the fairyland.

However, Zi Lan found that Xue Li couldn't seem to pronounce his name.

Although there are similarities between fairy language and mortal language, Zilan was named in the fairy language of the wolf realm. Xueli himself can only speak the nine-tailed fox fairy language. He and Xueli teach each other in mortal language. The fairy language is exquisite. As for the sense of rhyme, ordinary language pays attention to pronunciation. There are two languages between the two people, and it is more difficult for Xue Li to understand his name.

Zi Lan tried to teach Xue Li how to say it several times, but she either said it wrong or her rhyme was wrong. Even if she said it right sometimes, she didn't seem to know what she meant.

However, Xue Li always remembered the time when he transformed into Yun Wu and showed it to her. Sometimes when he got anxious, he would blurt out: "Wu Wu!"

Zi Lan: “…”

Xue Li happily circled around him: "Wu Wu! Wu Wu! Wu Wu!"

This statement is not wrong, but Zi Lan still hopes that Xue Li can understand more clearly. Seeing Xue Li's confused look, sometimes he even wants to use the last Tongyu Pill and tell Xue Li directly. never mind.

He also thought a lot about the use of Tongyu Pills, but after all, he thought that this was the last layer of insurance. If there was an unexpected situation on a thunderstorm day in the future, having a Tongyu Pill would always be an extra layer of protection. They could usually figure it out by talking and gesticulating. Xue Li couldn't pronounce his name, so she just had to teach him patiently and slowly without consuming Tongyu Pills.

As a result, Xue Li still calls him "Big Snow Wolf". Sometimes various names are mixed together, and Zi Lan doesn't mind too much.

Sometimes he would secretly write love letters to Xue Li, using fairy language, and they would all be hidden in the realm of God. They accumulated over time, and he had accumulated many letters without realizing it.

After the mortal language was basically taught, Zi Lan began to teach her common fairy language in order to enable Xue Li to call his name clearly and to live a better life in the fairyland in the future.

The content of fairy language is difficult.

Xue Li's progress has slowed down, but the two of them can still talk in ordinary language.

In the evening that day, the two of them were walking along a small river. The sun set in the west and along the shadows of the mountains, the river was dyed into a brilliant glow.

Xue Li took Zi Lan's sleeve and took him to the river, pointed to the direction where the sun was setting, and said to him word by word: "Sunset! Sunset!"

Zilan said "hmm" and repeated it in the fairy language of the nine-tailed fox.

Xue Li still wanted to go further, and the two of them walked forward along the river. At this moment, Xue Li suddenly stumbled and almost tripped over a stone by the stream.

Zi Lan hurriedly supported her, hugged her waist in a panic, and let Xue Li fall into his arms.

"careful."

Zilan said.

Xue Li stood still, but because her head hit Zi Lan's chest, her vision went dark for a moment and she was a little distracted.

She hurriedly said: "Thank you."

After speaking, she continued to move forward.

Zi Lan looked at the way Xue Li almost fell accidentally and felt a little worried. After hesitation, she reached out and held her hand.
