Chapter 208: Mysteries shrouded in fog

Long Qi and Xin Yi searched for a long time but could not find anyone else. The Yunmeng Lake was filled with mist, and the two did not dare to walk too far, fearing that if they walked too far, they would not be able to find the way back. Now that they could not find Liu Xia and the others, the two discussed going back to the cave.

But just when the two were about to reach the cave entrance, Madam Lu suddenly ran out. Her clothes were torn and she looked panicked. When she saw Xinyi, she rushed forward.

“Xingyi! That girl…that girl wants to kill me!”

Xinyi quickly reached out to support Madam Lu. Hearing this, her brows furrowed. Long Qi also looked solemn. The two looked at each other, both in disbelief. However, Madam Lu did not look fake. Could there be some misunderstanding?
Long Qi nodded to Xin Yi and took two steps forward, but was shocked by the scene at the entrance of the cave. There were obvious signs of a fight at the entrance, with rubble and claw marks everywhere, but there was no sign of Ling Xiang.

If it is true as Mrs. Lu said, it would be fine if there were rubble in the cave, but what about these claw marks?

Could it be that this spiritual incense was really a fake? But if it was a fake spiritual incense, why would it save him? And where is she now?

Long Qi was puzzled and felt that there were many mysteries. He walked out of the cave and saw that Madam Lu had calmed down. He stepped forward and asked, “Madam came out of the cave and said that Lingxiang wanted to kill you, but why did she want to harm you?”

Madam Lu seemed extremely frightened when she heard this, and trembled as she answered, “I don’t know why. The two of us were talking peacefully, but suddenly a child came and said a few words to her, and then she attacked me.”

A child? Long Qi was even more confused. As far as he knew, Ling Xiang was in Yunmengze for the first time, so how could she know a child?

“So where are they now?” Long Qi asked.

This question surprised Mrs. Lu: “Why? She’s not inside? She was standing at the entrance of the cave just now, looking ferocious.”

Fierce and evil?

After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Xinyi was even more puzzled. It was really strange that Lingxiang was vicious. When he was practicing in Xianyunju, he got to know Lingxiang a little better after getting along with her. According to Lingxiang’s personality, no matter what happened, she was usually smiling. Even when she exorcised the demon for the girl from Kunwu Sect last time, she was smiling. It was hard to imagine how vicious Lingxiang would be.

However, Long Qi had a different idea after hearing this. If Ling Xiang was fierce, she was indeed fierce, but if she was ferocious, it would be a bit exaggerated, unless she was not the real Ling Xiang, or…

Or maybe Mrs. Lu is lying…

Long Qi glanced at Xin Yi, who immediately understood and asked Madam Xiang Lu, “Mother just said that a child has arrived. What does the child look like?”

It would be fine if she didn’t ask, but when she asked about the child, Mrs. Lu started to tremble all over: “That… that child looks like a monster, with a child’s face, but ears growing on its head, and… and a long tail!”

A child with a tail? Isn’t that a monster? Is that “spiritual incense” really fake?
In that case, where is the spiritual incense?

Long Qi immediately became anxious, while Xinyi looked at Madam Lu thoughtfully.

……

Lingxiang and the other two walked in the forest for a long time, but they never got out of the forest. Zhao Wuyang suspected that Lingxiang had pointed them in the wrong direction, otherwise why would they walk in the forest for so long? Moreover, it should have been quite a while, but the sky did not seem to get dark at all.

“Why haven’t we reached the end of this forest yet?” Zhao Wuyang glanced at Lingxiang, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fanned himself with his palm. The swamp he had walked through earlier was still a bit chilly, but he didn’t expect that this forest that blocked out the sun would be so hot.

Lingxiang naturally noticed the implication of Zhao Wuyang’s words. She tugged at Ajin’s clothes as if she was driving a horse, and smiled as she asked him to stop and rest.

Ah Jin naturally didn’t need to rest, but Ling Xiang smiled and said, “You take such big steps that Xiao Wuyang can hardly keep up. He is so tired that he is sweating profusely.”

After hearing what Lingxiang said, Ajin turned his head to look at Zhao Wuyang. It was just as she said, so he found a flat place and gently put Lingxiang down.

However, Lingxiang’s appearance was indeed worrying. Although she was not in a hurry like Zhao Wuyang, she was also sweating profusely. Her face was pale and it seemed that the injury on her foot was quite serious.

But the forest ahead was endless, where was she going?
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Zhao Wuyang was also very anxious. He quickly said, “I’m not tired at all. You have a foot injury. You should walk faster. Finding the Qiankun bag is more important.”

Ling Xiang smiled when she heard this: “Even if we are in a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it. It is better to take a good rest.”

It would be great if the Water Spirit Pearl was on me, but for some reason, after the deep pool was filled, the Water Spirit Pearl disappeared. It seems that the entire pool of water is the Water Spirit Pearl itself.

Lingxiang sighed and found a comfortable position to lean against the stone behind her: “The Yunmeng Lake has no distinction between east and west, and no winter or summer. No matter where you go, you will eventually return to where you came from. So I just picked a direction at random. I will eventually encounter the evil beast.”

Hearing Lingxiang’s words, Zhao Wuyang’s eyes widened. As long as there is a place to stand, there are four directions, right? How can there be no distinction between east and west?
Seeing his face full of surprise, Lingxiang thought it was very amusing and immediately wanted to play a teasing on him, but Ajin at the side cleared his throat and she did not play a teasing on Zhao Wuyang.

Ah Jin was also puzzled. This little girl was in such a state, but she still wanted to make fun of others. He really didn’t know what she was thinking.

“What I mean by no distinction between east and west is that there is no sunrise or sunset. To be more precise, there is no sun or moon in Yunmengze.”

“No sun or moon?” Zhao Wuyang was even more confused. He raised his hand to catch the light shining through the leaves and asked, “What about this?”

Lingxiang hesitated for a moment before answering, “A long time ago, Yunmeng Lake was a place near us…”

According to legend, in ancient times, the great rivers were originally one. At that time, the floods were so great that people had no place to live. When Emperor Yu was controlling the floods, he filled them with Xirang, which is how the nine states came into being. At that time, Xirang kept growing, and although it separated the great rivers, the growing soil surrounded a piece of water in the middle, which later became Yunmengze.

At that time, spiritual energy gathered in the area surrounded by Xirang, and Yunzhongjun was born. It was also because Yunmengze was full of spiritual energy that it attracted many gods and spirit beasts.

But year after year, the Xirang continued to extend and grow, and the area of ​​Yunmengze became smaller and smaller. For the sake of the creatures in it, Yunzhongjun moved the water into the clouds with his own power, and then hid it in the water mirror.

Since we have entered the water mirror, where does the sun and moon come from? Without the sun and moon, how can all living things be safe?

“So Yunzhongjun covered the light from the sky and kept it in the water mirror, so there was the light in your hand.” Lingxiang smacked her lips as she spoke. As for all this, she actually only saw it from Tumi’s notes, but Tumi changed a lot of things in this history, and she didn’t know if she made it up herself.

However, Lingxiang thought it could be told as a story, and Zhao Wuyang also listened to it with great interest.
