When the magic stick summons cute pets

Almost the moment Xu Cheng left the circle, Ye Changsheng, who was half-kneeling by the lake looking at something at the other end, straightened up slightly as if he had suddenly sensed the situation at the other end.

The pale fish tail in the right eye pupil swayed slightly, he stood up and looked towards Xu Cheng across half of the lake, with a dignified expression.

He Jiuzhong pulled Ye Changsheng up, looked at his face, and understood in his heart that something happened on the other side of Xu Cheng, so he asked casually, "What happened?"

Ye Changsheng looked in Xu Cheng's direction for a while, then closed his eyes again, and turned his gaze back.Taking another deep breath, he stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, and looked at He Jiuzhong's expression, although he was somewhat helpless, but overall he was quite peaceful: "Well, as expected, I probably have already walked out by now. "

He Jiuzhong looked at the face that was not very happy, so he stretched out his hand to rub Ye Changsheng's slightly frowning brows, smiled playfully and said: "The one you said in front of him earlier, Journey to the West In the story, if Tang Seng got out of the life-saving circle that Monkey King drew for him, what would the result be?"

Ye Changsheng sighed: "What else can it be? After being captured by a monster, wait for Monkey King to save him." He was also a little sad, "But Tang Seng is the protagonist's life, with the halo on his head, even if he wants to die, he can't die. Drop, can others compare!"

Then, he looked at He Jiuzhong again, and complained to him with great dissatisfaction: "And I always feel that this story is really unrealistic!" He accused angrily, "Those monsters know that Tang Seng has golden thighs as powerful as Monkey King , finally took advantage of his absence, caught Tang Seng and ate it raw, why wait for the golden thigh to reappear every time?"

He Jiuzhong reached out and patted Ye Changsheng's head, and said in a calm voice, "If you don't write like that, then what are you looking at?" He then glanced in the direction where Xu Cheng should have stayed, "Don't complain, aren't you Have you already anticipated this situation? If you don’t go to save him, if he is eaten by the 'realistic' monsters here, all your reward this time will be in vain again."

Ye Changsheng waved his hands when he heard He Jiuzhong's words, and said casually: "If you eat them, you won't be able to live forever, not to mention the ones with rough skin and thick flesh, which don't taste good at first glance. Although those things are bad, they are not stupid."

That's what he said, but his eyes were still fixed, and he muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, I had the foresight to tie a thread to his soul when I came in." He took out a thousand paper cranes from his pocket, and He wiped his hand lightly on the paper crane's head, and the parts that should be the eyes suddenly flashed a red light.

Holding the paper crane in the palm of his hand, he whispered a few words quickly, only to see the paper crane dangling from its hand and floating into the air.Although the paper crane could only float up and down at the height of an adult's waist as if being suppressed by something, it finally moved.

Ye Changsheng looked at the thousand paper cranes flapping his little wings and struggling to fly in front of him, glanced at He Jiuzhong as a signal, then followed and said, "Let's go."

Xu Cheng only remembered that after he got out of the circle that Ye Changsheng had drawn for him, before he could catch up with Xu Chi, he suddenly seemed to smell a very strong and sweet fragrance.My mind was dizzy as if it had been stuffed with a ball of cotton, and all the memories were completely broken here.

When he regained a little consciousness, he found himself lying on a bed.A little girl was sitting by the side watching him, and when she saw that he was awake, she jumped off the stool with a smile on her face, shouting as she ran, "Brother Xiaochi, brother Xiaochi, he's awake!"

Xu Cheng lifted the quilt and sat up in some astonishment. Before he could get out of bed, he heard a "squeak" over there and someone pushed the door open and walked in.

Xu Chi walked up to him and looked down at him: "Brother, are you awake?"

Xu Cheng put on his shoes, stood up from the bed and looked around.Different from the houses made of reinforced concrete that are used in modern society, the place where he is now is a small building full of primitive simplicity.The whole building is made of bamboo and wood, obviously it should be considered crude, but it seems to have an indescribable elegance when you look closely: "Where is this?"

Xu Chi smiled: "Where else could it be? Of course it's my home."

Hearing this, Xu Cheng's gaze, which was observing the surroundings, froze for a moment, and then turned his head, as if thinking of something, his eyes flickered with obvious astonishment: "Then, that little girl just now was..."

When Xu Chi heard the question from the other end, he was taken aback for a moment, and then gave him a strange look: "Brother, what are you thinking? That's the child from the next door."

Xu Cheng felt a little more at ease when he heard this, and then thought about the little girl who looked five or six years old, and it was not like Xu Chi who could be born at his age, so he couldn't help but secretly lamented that his nerves were indeed a little bit Too sensitive.

"Since you're awake, brother, you can go out with me and have a look."

After Xu Chi finished speaking, he pushed the door open, turned around and walked out again.Xu Cheng watched him go out, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly tied his shoelaces and hurriedly followed.

It was completely dark outside at some point.

There was a full moon hanging in the sky, exuding a quiet light, surrounded by countless stars twinkling, the sky was so beautiful that it took people's breath away.

Xu Cheng looked up at the sky, feeling a little speechless for a while.

Perhaps he had seen such a night sky in the countryside when he was a child, but life was so hard at that time that he didn't even have the heart to appreciate such a view.When life got better and he settled in City X, he never saw such a starry night scene again.

Xu Chi raised his hands to look like a camera and compared it to the sky, imitating the "click" sound of pressing the shutter, and then retracted his hands to look at Xu Cheng: "I feel shocked!" Well, I was also in the same mood when I saw it for the first time, this place is really beautiful, isn't it?"

Xu Cheng was brought back to his senses by his question, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to look at him: "This place is indeed beautiful, but..."

Xu Chi didn't let him continue, but just smiled and said: "What's the 'but', brother, follow me and continue to look, you will soon know that compared with this place, the outside world is really real. What’s more, there is nothing to miss.”

Xu Cheng looked at Xu Chi's swearing face, and had many thoughts in his mind, but he finally sighed secretly, and decided to stabilize the person first, and wait for other opportunities to continue the discussion after the mood on the other side eased up a little.

Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong walked along the direction of the paper crane for a while, but no matter how they walked, they were still circling around the lake.

This one was already exhausted, dragging the people beside him to gasp for breath, looking at the Thousand Paper Crane who lost his head for the first time, his voice was a bit intermittent when he spoke: "I can't do it... let's go Going down, I feel like I... huh... huh... I'm going to be useless..."

He Jiuzhong lifted most of Ye Changsheng's body up, looked at the paper crane that kept shaking as if he had drunk fake wine, paused for a moment and thought, "It's the illusion that has affected the effect of the paper crane. , that’s why we couldn’t find the target?”

Ye Changsheng frowned, and stretched out his hand to take back the paper crane that had been pressed almost to the ankle by some invisible pressure.Hold it in the palm of your hand and feel it, then shake your head: "No, no. Even if there is some interference here, the paper crane is after all looking for it according to the soul-fixing thread that I tied to Xu Cheng's soul. , there shouldn’t be such a deviation.”

As he spoke, he leaned against He Jiuzhong and adjusted his breathing, and when he felt a little relaxed, he broke free from He Jiuzhong's arms, stood up straight and frowned, and looked around carefully.

The sun was still hanging directly above, and the cool wind blew by one after another, blowing off the peach blossoms that were in full bloom from the branches.Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong got closer, and occasionally one or two petals fell on their neckline and hair, bringing a sweet fragrance.

Ye Changsheng's gaze fell from the surrounding peach blossom forest to the lake in front of him, his eyes narrowed, and he took two steps towards that end as if he suddenly discovered something unusual.

The pink crystal-like lake is incredibly clean and clear. From the surface of the water, you can see the round and beautiful gravel at the bottom of the lake at a glance.

He looked down for a while, and suddenly asked, "Mr. He, how deep do you think this water is?"

He Jiuzhong glanced at the surface of the lake, because the water surface was so clean and clear that it was impossible to make a judgment based on the visual difference of seeing the bottom at a glance: "From the size of the lake, it must be at least a few feet long. The depth of it... what's wrong?"

Ye Changsheng didn't make a sound, just took out a dark blue marble the size of a pigeon egg from his backpack, then stretched out his hand and placed it horizontally on the water, let go and threw the marble down.

With a crisp "plop", the surface of the entire lake, like a crystal, was suddenly shattered by an external force, and circle after circle of ripples spread out from the place where the marbles fell, but it didn't take long , Those ripples gradually faded away, and the entire lake calmed down again.

The lake water is still extremely clear, and the stones at the bottom of the lake are clearly visible.

It's just that the unusually conspicuous dark blue marble that Ye Changsheng threw in just now has disappeared.

He Jiuzhong watched Ye Changsheng's movements and immediately reacted. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "You mean, the problem lies in this lake?"

Ye Changsheng nodded. He put the paper crane in his hand above the lake, and saw a red light flashing in the paper crane's eyes, and then it suddenly turned into a small handful of ashes and scattered away. When he spoke again, his voice was a little cold .

"I said it's no wonder that for such a long time before, no matter how we searched, we couldn't find any traces around here. I used peach blossoms as a cover-up to delay time, but my real body was hidden in the lake... It turned out to be That's it."
