Chapter 42

Ghosts?

This is Xie Ran's first reaction.

But soon he calmed down, because he felt the breath of heaven on the woman.

He hesitated for a moment, then came out from the hiding place and appeared: "Who are you?"

"what!"

The girl was so frightened by him that she almost dropped the stone bowl in her hand. She frantically stabilized the thing, turned her head, and let out a "huh".

She opened her big eyes: "You are... Bailing?"

"You are Qingluan?" Xie Ran also realized that the other party is "something" - she not only has the breath of heaven, but also the heat of flames.

It was a kind of pure blaze different from the real fire of the soul, Xie Ran was very familiar with this feeling, because he used to feel it on his mother every day.

but.

If I remember correctly, Qingluan actually doesn't like Bailing very much.

Creatures in the celestial world—even the demon race—have a noble psychology, thinking that creatures in the human world and ghost world are filthy.

Especially Bailing, this new race born from the combination of Qingluan and the ghost clan, in Qingluan's mind, it is the evidence that the ghost clan has "tainted" Qingluan, so it is even more suspected.

For example, Xie Ran's mother was disliked by the family, so she has been living in the Bailing Territory. Qingluan, who lives in a yin environment, is always in poor health. Lark's rejection.

Xie Ran stared at the Qingluan woman suspiciously: "What are you doing here?"

"Come here to get something for a friend." The other party looked at him curiously, and the look in his eyes was not disgust.

"For whom and what?" Xie Ran paused, "This is my home."

"Ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and soon she smiled in surprise, "Then you are Qing Yi's child? You are so old!"

"You know my mother?"

"I just came to get things for her."

"What?" Xie Ran's eyes widened in surprise, "Mother, wasn't she...wasn't she taken away by the ghost clan?"

"It's a long story, since you're back, why don't you go back with me?"

I came from the ghost world to find someone.

Xie Ran originally wanted to say that.

But when he heard the girl say "Your mother is here", he couldn't say the words of rejection immediately, and he hesitated and asked, "...how far?"

"At the junction of the ghost world and the heaven world." The girl looked at his expression, "What, do you have something to do?"

"... I guess there is."

"If it's related to the ghost clan, I suggest you go back with me." The girl said, "I don't have a ghost clan boyfriend. Your mother and the others may know better about the ghost clan. Talk to her later. It's not too late to come out."

Xie Ran thought for a while, and felt that this suggestion was good, otherwise he was a lark in the territory of the ghost clan and was weak, so it would not be easy to find someone.

The girl packed some things, turned into a bird, and flew into the sky with Xie Ran.

On the way, the girl introduced herself as Qing He, and she and Xie Ran's mother Qing Yi were good friends who grew up together.

Back then when the ghost clan violated the territory of the Bailing clan, the Qingluan clan immediately came to protest when they heard about it. After a lot of back and forth, the ghost clan finally released all the Qingluan monsters living in the territory of the Bailing clan.Qinghe said that she didn't know why the Qingluan clan didn't bother the ghost clan. They took the released Qingluan back and opened up a new territory at the junction of the ghost realm and the heaven realm, giving these "not quite The same" green luan lives.

This territory can directly lead to the Qingluan territory in the heaven, but they are used to living in the ghost world, and they feel that going back is quite out of place, so they all live in the new territory.

"I often ask Qingyi and the others, I said, did you ever think about going over there to rescue your children? As a result, they all kept secrets and refused to utter a word. Qingyi often persuaded me not to say anything. What are you afraid of." Qing He said, "Maybe if you go, she can tell you."

"That's it." Xie Ran said.

"How have you been all these years? Qing Yi has been looking for you, but she has seen every inch of the ghost world intermittently, and thinks that you have either been captured by the ghost king, or you are no longer in the ghost world—Ghost king We will not come near the palace."

Xie Ran pursed his lips: "I went to the human world."

"Really?" Qing He said in surprise, "Is the Human World interesting? I haven't been to the Human World yet!"

"It's kind of interesting..." Xie Ran thought for a while and said, "The life of the human race is short, so their life is more compact and looks more colorful."

"If I have the chance, I will also go to the human world to see..."

Her muttering tone was quite amusing, so Xie Ran laughed out: "If you want to go, just go. Besides, I thought Qingluan didn't go to the 'dirty place'."

"That's the idea of ​​those old folks in the clan. In fact, our new generation doesn't think so." Qing He said, "Anyway, if I have a chance, I'll go to the human world to play!"

"Okay, come on." Xie Ran said without sincerity.

While speaking, they had already arrived at the place, and Qinghe fell from the sky and turned into a human form.

Xie Ran came down according to her appearance, and found a forest of yin and yang trees nearby.

Yinyangtong is half black and half white. It grows in the place where Yin Qi and Yang Qi meet, so there are especially many in this area.But it wasn't until Qing He took Xie Ran in that he discovered an extremely hidden entrance hidden in the forest.

Through the dense forest, there is a gray fog. Behind the fog, there are stone steps, all the way up along the direction of the mountain wall.

The stone steps were not long, and they came to a clearing within a short distance.

The air here is humid, and every breath of water penetrates into the heart and spleen, which is very cool and comfortable.

...It is very suitable for them, the birds of fire, to live in, Xie Ran thought.

"Qing Yi!" Qing He yelled, "Come out, see who I brought back!"

When she said these words, it was like water dripping into a boiling oil pan, and immediately aroused a burst of noise.After a while, a lot of birds scattered on the tree houses all around, staring at the two people in the center of the open space in unison.

The feathers of these birds are all blue, and each one is extremely beautiful. At first glance, they are members of the Qingluan clan.

... are also very familiar.

"Aunt Xiang, Aunt Ling, Aunt Wei, Sister Dong..." Xie Ran counted them one by one, "You are all... still alive..."

A larger Qingluan swooped down from the roof of the tree, and slammed its wings in front of Xie Ran's face: "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about! I really hope that Aunt Ling is dead!" ?!"

"not me……"

Qingluan's wings swung over with great strength, Xie Ran's fair face immediately swelled up, "I thought you were all dead back then, and then I..." and did a lot of stupid things.

Before he finished speaking, another big blue bird flew from the depths of the mist. She flew fast and furiously, and kicked "Aunt Ling" on the head with her paw, and kicked her whole bird out together: "Okay!" You Qingling, I woke up and saw you bullying my son again!"

Xie Ran: "..."

Xie Ran: "...Mom, don't be so rude."

Haven't seen each other for decades, no grief, no remembrance of the old days...not even a hug, just enjoying a farce first.

So when he was a child, he always sneered at the fact that "Qingluan rejected Bailing"...It is true that these Qingluan who get along day and night are too lacking in the appearance of divine beasts!

Qing Yi, who beat her up, fell from the sky and turned into a human in front of Xie Ran.

Decades are nothing to the long-lived Yaozu, time has not left any marks on her face, standing with Xie Ran, like little sisters.

"Son." Qing Yi stared at him for a while, with a smile on her lips and light in her eyes, "You are still alive."

"Mother." Xie Ran looked at her and suddenly smiled, "You are still alive."

They looked at each other, and suddenly said four words in unison, "It's good to live", then they looked at each other and smiled, and walked back to the tree house hand in hand.

"It's over, I'll report back to you later." Qing Yi waved her hand, signaling Qing Luan on the roof to leave early, "Wait for me to catch up with my son first."

"Then you should be early." A green luan said from the tree house.

"I know." Qing Yi said.

……

After returning to the house, Xie Ran asked his curious question: "They seem to care about me?"

"actually……"

Qing Yi paused at this point, then turned her head to look at Qing He who had followed her all the way in, "Why did you come in?"

"You're not going to drive me out, are you?" Qing He looked at her defensively, "Please, I've been curious about why you didn't save Bai Ling for many years, but I brought your son back today, you You can't justify driving me out again?"

Qing Yi stared at her, Qing He stared back not to be outdone.

The two demons have known each other for thousands of years, and they understand each other very well. In the end, Qingyi compromised. She sighed and said, "Originally, the patriarch and the others made an agreement with us for three chapters, and no one is allowed to talk about it."

Qing He sat down, poured herself a glass of water, and said triumphantly, "I won't talk to the old man."

"Try it, this is the fairy spring of heaven." Qing Yi also poured a glass of water, handed it to Xie Ran, and then continued, "Actually, they also want to save their children, but the patriarch and the others went to negotiate with the ghost king. When we were together, we made an agreement with the King of Ghosts not to care about Bai Ling's affairs, so the other party was willing to let us go."

"Call directly, will the Qingluan clan still be afraid of those ghost-killing clans?" Qing He muttered unconvinced.

"To be honest, I'm not sure." Qing Yi said, "There are a lot of strange things in the ghost king. I don't know where they come from, but they are extremely destructive. Besides, even if we can beat them, the end will definitely be a loss for both sides." ...How could the patriarch and the others gamble with Qingluan's life on the possibility of saving Bailing? To put it bluntly, Bailing is our child, but has nothing to do with other Qingluan."

She turned her head and looked at Xie Ran kindly: "So they all care about you and want to know how you escaped the ghost king's net."

"Didn't I not be in the clan at the time?" Under the gaze of his mother, Xie Ran inexplicably felt his head itchy, and stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, "When you came back, you were all gone. I heard the ghost rabbit next door talk about the cause and effect. , I ran to the ghost king’s palace...then I was beaten out by them. Fortunately, the ghost king was not there at the time, otherwise I might not be able to escape. Then...then I went to the human world."

"The human world... no wonder you were able to hide for so long." Qing Yi's gaze suddenly became far away, as if she was thinking about something, and it took a long time to retract it, "Then why did you go back to the ghost world this time?"

"I..." Xie Ran scratched his head in embarrassment, "I met a...pretty good...ghost clan in the human world, he seems to have come to the ghost world, so I...I came back to find him."

"Pretty good ghost clan?" Qing He was stunned, "My God, Little Bailing, the ghost clan is your enemy!"

Xie Ran also knew something was wrong and couldn't explain it, so he could only desperately lower his head to drink water.

"This child has played well with the ghost clan since he was a child." Qing Yi explained for him, "Besides, a long time ago, that ghost king had a very good relationship with the Bailing clan, but recently..."

"The Ghost King's temper has indeed gotten bigger and bigger these years." Qing He pouted dissatisfiedly, "In the past, if you entered his palace, as long as you didn't move things, he wouldn't say anything; now...ha!"

"I don't remember much about when I was a child, the ghost king really has friendship with us?" Xie Ran asked, "Then why did the ghost king destroy the Bailing territory?"
