The Taste of Ghosts in the World

The kid in front of him has a cute round face, with rosy cheeks, coupled with a blank expression, Qi Mu suddenly wanted to pinch him, and when he heard him say "little lotus", he couldn't help asking: " Who gave you that name?"

"Hmm..." Little Lianpeng tilted her head and thought for a while, "...forgot."

"...Where is this place? Why are you sleeping here?"

"That's right!" Little Lianpeng seemed to have suddenly thought of something important, clapped his hands and said, "I'm here... in... guarding clams... clams!"

He ignored the first question, and Qi Mu found that the child seemed to be able to answer only one question at a time.

"What is a clam clam?"

"It's a clam!" Little Lianpeng corrected it sternly.

"Okay... what is a clam?"

"I'll take you...to see..." After he finished speaking, he slowly led Qi Mu along the edge of the pool, and went around to the back of the waterfall, where many huge stones were piled up, forming a natural staircase.

The little lotus man had short hands, and it was very difficult to climb those rocks. Qi Mu couldn't see it, so he hugged him by the waist, "Where are you going? I'll help you there."

"Up! Up!" He pointed up the stone steps.

Qi Mu asked him to lie on his back, climbed up the stone steps with hands and feet, and found a stone cave hidden behind the waterfall.

"Let me get down... come." Little Lianpeng patted Qi Mu on the shoulder, and the latter squatted down, letting him climb down, and walked to the front to lead the way.

The cave is not very spacious, and the light gets worse the further you go in, the ground is wet from the waterfall, and the cave wall is still seeping water.

"What the hell do you want me to see?"

"Clams! Clams filled with soul... dew...!"

He went all the way to the depths of the cave before the little lotus stopped, moved away the gravel piled up beside the cave wall, and a small recessed hole was exposed inside. He squatted on the ground, reached in and tried hard to dig out something.

But after a few minutes passed, he retracted to look at the empty palm, squatted lower again, almost to the ground, and plucked for a while, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Seeing his blank look, Qi Mu asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"

"Clam..." Little Lianpeng looked up at him, "What should I do? Your clam... clam... is gone!"

Qi Mu didn't know what he was talking about, but seeing that he was in a hurry, he helped out with an idea: "Did you put it somewhere else and forget it?"

"No." Little Lianpeng shook his head resolutely, "I... didn't let it go, I only went... twice... twice, and I slept... all the rest of the time."

"Who put it? Could it be that he came to take it away?"

"That's right!" Little Lianpeng's eyes widened, "He's been here before!"

Qi Mu nodded, "It should be that person who took it away."

Little Lianpeng sat on the ground for a while, then suddenly stood up, took Qi Mu's hand and walked out of the cave, saying as she walked, "Let's go...to find him!"

"Is that clam important? Why do you have to go?"

"I lost it... my brother will... scold me!"

"..." Qi Mu thought that Feng Baisui had disappeared, and he didn't know where he was, so he might as well follow him, so he asked, "Where are we going to find him?"

Little Lianpeng was stunned immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "He is from the fairy... world."

"How to go to the fairy world? Qi Mu was at a loss, "What kind of world is this? "

"I also... don't know..." Little Lianpeng opened her mouth stupidly, stood there for a while, then pulled Qi Mu out of the cave, and walked straight into the dense forest.

As soon as they entered the forest, Qi Mu couldn't figure out the direction anymore, he only knew that the sound of the waterfall was getting farther and farther away from them.

They didn't know how far they had traveled, but the barrier above their heads stopped suddenly. They stepped out of the woods and stopped on the edge of a cliff. If it wasn't for the little lotus that was pulling them, Qi Mu almost lost his footing.

Leaning over to look down the cliff, it turned out to be a vast sea of ​​clouds, which should be far, far away from the ground.

Qi Mu was startled, no matter how high the mountain top was, he couldn't see such a magnificent scene, right?

He had a vague feeling that this place was probably not human.

"How high is it here?"

Little Lianpeng shook her head, and just said: "I remember... that person... said... that the heavens are...under... here."

"Down?" Qi Mu glanced at the cliff again, feeling a little dizzy, "How do we go down? Are there any flying tools?"

"No need," Little Lianpeng said, "jump down...it'll be fine."

"Jump off?!"

Qi Mu was still judging whether he was joking when he said this, when he felt a push on his back, staggered on the soles of his feet, and fell lightly.

The gust of wind blew past his ears, and the clouds rushed to his face with icy water vapor. Qi Mu closed his eyes and unfolded his body resignedly.

But the expected high-speed landing did not happen. When he came back to his senses, his body had stopped, and he slowly opened his eyes. He was lying on a piece of white stone floor, and he quickly got up, and saw the little lotus lying beside him. , struggling to stand up.

Qi Mu gave him a hand, Little Lianpeng turned his head looking around, and muttered, "Is...here?"

There is an antique memorial archway in the distance, Qi Mu looked familiar, and when he got closer, he found that there were three big golden characters of "Nantianmen" written on the plaque on it.

"Perhaps it did come..." he murmured.

"Then let's... go find him...!" Little Lianpeng walked forward excitedly, but was stopped by two men who jumped out suddenly.

Those two men were both tall and big, with thick black eyebrows and eyes staring like copper bells, they shouted in unison: "Whoever comes, stop!"

Little Lianpeng was taken aback, and blinked on the spot, "Did you... make an appointment...? It's so neat... Oh!"

The other party ignored him, and said in unison again: "During the martial law period, idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Little Lianpeng waved her hands quickly, and said anxiously: "We... are not..."

"We are here to find someone." Qi Mu explained for him.

The two heavenly soldiers still replied with a straight face: "There is no one here, please go back, both of you!"

Qi Mu had no choice but to lower his head and ask Little Lianpeng, "What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Hmm..." Little Lianpeng wrinkled her face in annoyance, "I don't know..."

"..."

Just when Qi Mu was at his wit's end, someone suddenly said "Hey" and said, "Little Lianpeng, why are you here?"

They turned their heads, and a young man in white came by. The two heavenly soldiers immediately bowed their heads respectfully when they saw him.

"Master Lingguan."

The young man in white smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, they are my friends, just leave them to me."

"Yes!"

After the heavenly soldiers finished speaking, they disappeared.

The man in white turned back and patted Xiao Lianpeng's head habitually, "Aren't you supposed to guard Soul Dew in the spirit world? Why are you here?"

"Qi Mu...is back..." Little Lianpeng shook Qi Mu's hand.

"Qi Mu?" The man in white thought for a while, suddenly enlightened, his eyes seemed to be shining for a moment, and he patted Qi Mu's shoulder with a smile on his face, "Long time no see."

Qi Mu was puzzled, "Have I seen you?"

"The last time we met was in the human world. You are as tall as Little Lianpeng. Now I almost don't recognize you."

"Have you been to the human world?"

The man in white smiled and winked at him, "Do you remember the peach pit?"

Qi Mu was surprised, pointed at him and said, "You are the one who gave my father a peach pit in a dream?!"

"It's down."

Qi Mu felt emotional in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling that his growth had been being watched all the time. After a moment of distraction, he realized that he didn't know the name of the other party after talking for a long time.

"Excuse me... what is your name?"

The man in white smiled, "I'm a Lingguan, you can call me You Yi."

"Did you... you took... soul dew?" Little Lianpeng was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered the purpose of this trip, raised her head and asked You Yi.

Qi Yi froze for a moment, then shook his head, "It's not me."

Little Lianpeng was stunned again, and then said slowly, "Who is that..."

"Yuan Ling is back, but the soul dew is gone..." You Yi murmured and glanced at Qi Mu, frowning, "The situation is not good. It's their fault!"

Qi Mu knew nothing about what he said, so he could only listen silently, but You Yi said to him: "Don't worry, you will definitely find it back, and the Heavenly Court will not let your soul dew fall into the demon world." hand."

Qi Mu nodded, "What is soul dew?"

"..." You Yi slapped his forehead, "I forgot... Hunlu was not found, how could you remember it?"

"To put it simply, before you descended to the realm, you condensed your memory and most of your spiritual power into a nectar, hid it in the pearl oyster of the East China Sea, and handed it to me for safekeeping. But it contains too much and too pure spiritual energy, no matter who you are In order to avoid competition, I put it in the spirit world, which is the place where you were born, and there is an enchantment created by the gods alone, which is not affected by the three worlds."

"So that thing is mine?" A strange expression appeared on Qi Mu's face. He had been staying out of the matter before, feeling that it had nothing to do with him, and that the old god was still there, but now he found that all of this was inseparable from himself. I feel that things are troublesome.

"Then it's gone now, do you suspect it was done by the demon world?"

"That's right!" Seeing that he understood, You Yi smiled and nodded.

"So what do I need to do now?"

"Go to the demon world to confirm."

Qi Mu took a step back subconsciously, "I want to go too?"

"Of course, Soul Dew and you can sense each other's existence within a certain range. With you, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

You Yi went to ask Little Lianpeng again, "Are you going?"

Little Lianpeng tilted her head and thought for a while, "I'm not going..."

You Yi squeezed his face and twisted it, "Really not going?"

"But I... want to sleep..."

"You still want to sleep? If you didn't sleep all day, would the soul dew be stolen so easily?"

The little lotus was pinched in pain, and her round eyes looked at Qi Mu begging for help. Qi Mu was soft-hearted and couldn't help but speak for him, "Since it's mine, can I not pursue it?"

"No! According to the current situation, if the demon world wants to stir up trouble, when the fairies fight, no matter who gets the soul dew, it will be a threat!"

"..." Qi Mu helplessly shook his head at Little Lianpeng.

You Yi threatened again: "If you don't go, I will tell your brother."

Little Lianpeng's eyes turned misty, and she begged for mercy pitifully: "Okay...I'll go..."

Only then did You Yi let go of his hand in satisfaction, and patted his head by the way.

Little Lianpeng tugged at his sleeve, "It's agreed...don't tell...brother..."

"Of course, I always keep my word." You Yi said, holding Qi Mu with one hand and Xiao Lianpeng with the other, "Let's go."
