MTL - Warm Fuzzies-Chapter 43

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

Zilan replied: "The twenty-eight constellations are marked by gods and beasts. We are in charge of the movement of celestial bodies in our respective fairylands. We, the snow wolf clan, control Kuisu. You belong to the nine-tailed fox clan. You were originally the palm heart constellation. Each constellation performs its own duties. , in charge of different affairs in the human world. All the stars form a heavenly court at the same time, take turns in charge of the heavenly palace, and discuss major issues together..."

Having said that, Zi Lan paused for a moment, then changed the topic.

"—But having said that, it's not that we don't do nothing except our own star affairs. Apart from dealing with the movement of the heavens and the offerings of good luck and evil in the world, most of the time we do what we should do in the fairyland , Practicing swords, cultivating Taoism, woodworkers and painters can do everything, and not everyone's cultivation content matches the stars, and the fairyland is actually very diverse and prosperous."

Xue Li was dazed: "Do you have anything to do?"

"right."

Zilan responded.

"Witch doctors and musicians can stand up for all kinds of craftsmen, and everyone can achieve Taoism by stabbing hundreds of soldiers with swords and bows. There is no fixed number of ways in the world, and there is no distinction between high and low in what one cultivates."

Sydney nodded half understanding.

But she thought of something, and asked again: "What about the ones like my aunt? You are talking about beasts, so where will a mortal like my aunt go after becoming a fairy?"

"Your aunt..."

When Zilan said this, he hesitated for a moment.

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

But it's not easy to tell Xueli about these things now, she is too close to Shaoyin, if she talks too much, it will easily miss Shaoyin's doom.

Zilan had no choice but to say in a regular manner: "Human immortals also have their own destinations in the Nine Heavens. There are human realms where immortals gather, and there are fairy palaces where immortals who ascend to heaven can stand on their own. Most immortals and gods born with immortal bodies are There are celestial beings, as well as those who are in charge of the stars, and they also participate in the discussions of the heavens, such as the sun, the moon, and the heavenly monarchs. There are also a large number of human gods serving as heavenly officials. You may sound that the gods, beasts, and immortals are clearly separated, but in fact it is true. In the Nine Heavens, there are cooperations in many aspects, and there is no special distinction... the same is true for many flower and grass immortals who have become immortals."

For example, Fairy Shaoyin, who was an ancient snow lotus, moved the mountain where she lived to Jiuchongtian after she became a fairy, and became Snow Lotus Peak.

In fact, there are many ways in Jiuchongtian, and Zilan just talked about the most basic ones with Xueli, but Xueli has never had contact with the outside world, and has never been in contact with content other than Little Fairyland, and even the difference between immortals and mortals is not too great. Can tell.

Zilan found that she didn't know much about common sense in the world of Sydney, so it was difficult to understand what he said. When listening to him, Sydney seemed dazzled and confused. Because of this, she didn't seem to understand him now. of origin.

Zilan sighed softly, and thought to himself, take your time, these things are indeed too abstract for mere words, and you will understand them naturally when you reach the Nine Heavens in Sydney.

But at this point, Zilan lowered his voice, thinking of the nine-tailed fox **** picture that had been dim for many years in the star beast picture, he couldn't help but tentatively said: "But... Jiuzhongtian hasn't seen a nine-tailed fox for many years."

When Xueli heard the topic related to her, her ears moved unconsciously, and asked curiously: "Why? Doesn't the nine-tailed fox leave his fairyland too often?"

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

Xueli thought for a while, then 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, and I was lying alone in the rainstorm with only a bamboo basket beside me. Wrapped in my blanket, and a jade spoon used to open this fairyland, my aunt brought me up, other than that, I don’t know anything else.”

Xue Li blinked, as if thinking of something again, said: "That's right! I still remember this!"

As she said that, she closed her eyes and hummed a tune lightly in her throat, which was the lost ancient fairy song "Looking for the Moon".

Sydney said reminiscently: "I remember this tune since I was a child. My aunt said she didn't teach me. Every time I sing it, I will have a warm and down-to-earth feeling. Sometimes I will dream that someone is holding me and singing this tune." A song, but I can't see the other person's face clearly. My aunt said that she sometimes feels nostalgic when she listens to it, but she seems to have never heard it before."

"Looking for the Moon" is an ancient song that was lost after the disappearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. The one Sydney heard, it is very likely that her family members sang it to her.

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

Zilan said in a low voice for a moment, and asked, "Can you show me what was around you at that time?"

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

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

At that time, Xue Li didn't have many things on her body, and when she brought the bamboo basket over, she took out the key to the fairyland and handed it to Zi Lan, which was all.

Zilan took a closer look at these things.

The bamboo basket is firm and dense, and the velvet blanket is soft and comfortable. Although they are all well-made things, they are ordinary things after all, and it is impossible to tell where they are handcrafted.

But the jade pendant is different. Even people who are born in the palm of the star beast, there are actually only a few who can open the subordinate fairyland. The meritorious family of gods and immortals.

This piece of jade in Sydney does not seem to belong to the owner of the fairyland, but Zilan now recognizes some characters of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and finds that the jade has Sydney's name engraved on one side. This kind of jade is not the key that can open all the fairylands of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but a divine jade that seals a small fairyland in it, and the gate of the fairyland is set at the location where it was opened for the first time.

Most of this kind of jade is from the gods and gods with powerful celestial powers. Because they love children, they were sealed to them when they were born, so the names of the children will be engraved on the jade spoons. 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 a bit similar to the longevity lock, it is all for auspiciousness and hope that the child will grow up smoothly.

No wonder this wonderland is so small, and so pristine.

As far as the people in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan who might have this kind of jade spoon are concerned, the range is already very small, but the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has disappeared for thousands of years. I know a little fur, but I really can't guess the details. Furthermore, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has disappeared for so long, why Sydney would appear in the wind and rain with a little fox with this piece of jade, is really a question.

Zilan didn't say anything for a while, but said: "I don't have a clue yet, when I return to Jiuchongtian, I can ask my parents for you."

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

Although Xueli is curious about her own birth, she grew up in this fairyland, which is the world to her. She has an aunt who teaches her medical skills and takes care of her, and there are little white deer and other creatures to play with her. Xueli is very self-conscious. Enrichment, nothing less than being born elsewhere.

She smiled and said: "I have my 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 fairyland, even if I really don't know what happened I don't feel sorry for anything, so you don't have to worry about me too much, just take your time and don't rush."

As she said that, Xueli happily flipped out the notes she had prepared in advance, and asked enthusiastically, "Isn't it time to learn the language? What are you going to talk about today?"

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

He concentrated on it, and also turned out the fairy language records on his side, and began to explain to each other with Xue Li.

…

Ordinary language was simple, and Xueli learned it very quickly. After a few days, Xueli almost no longer needed her aunt to pass on the message, and could communicate directly with Zilan in the fairyland.

But Zilan found that Sydney still seemed to be unable to pronounce his name well.

Although there are similarities between the fairy language and the ordinary language, Zilan's name was named after the fairy language of the wolf realm. Xueli can only speak the fairy language of the nine-tailed fox, and he and Xueli teach each other in the ordinary language. There is a sense of rhyme, ordinary language pays attention to pronunciation, and there are two layers of language between the two, it is more difficult for Sydney to understand his name.

Zilan tried to teach Sydney how to say it several times, but she was either wrong or the rhyme was wrong. Even if she said it right sometimes, she didn't seem to know what she meant.

But Xueli always remembers the time when he changed the clouds and mist for her to see, sometimes when he was in a hurry, he blurted out: "Mist!"

Zilan: "..."

Sydney happily circled around him: "Fog! Fog! Fog!"

This statement is not wrong, but Zilan still hopes that Xueli can understand more clearly. Seeing Xueli's confused face, sometimes he even wants to use up the last Tongyu pill and explain it to Xueli directly. never mind.

He also thought a lot about how to use the Tongyu Pill, but after all, it was the last layer of insurance. In case of an unexpected situation on the day of a thunderstorm in the future, keeping a Tongyu Pill is an extra layer of protection. They can figure it out even with gestures, but Xueli can't tell his name clearly, so just teach him patiently and slowly, without using up Tongyu pills.

As a result, Sydney still calls him "Big Snow Wolf". Sometimes various names are mixed up, and Zilan doesn't mind too much.

Sometimes he would secretly write love letters to Sydney, using fairy language, all of which were also hidden in the realm of the gods, accumulated every day, and unknowingly accumulated many letters.

After roughly finishing teaching ordinary language, in order for Sydney to be able to call him clearly and to live a better life in the fairyland in the future, Zilan began to teach her common fairy language.

The content of fairy language is more difficult.

Sydney's progress has slowed down, but the two can still talk in ordinary language.

At dusk that day, the two of them were walking by the small river. The sun fell to the west, and along with the shadow of the mountain, it heavily dyed the river into a gorgeous glow.

Xueli pulled Zilan's sleeve and led him to the river, pointed to the direction of the setting sun, and said to him word by word: "Sunset! Sunset!"

Zilan said "hmm", and followed her to repeat it in the fairy language of the nine-tailed fox.

Xueli still wanted to go further, and the two walked along the river together. At this moment, Xueli staggered suddenly and almost tripped over a stone by the stream.

Zilan hurriedly supported her, and in a panic hugged her waist, letting Xueli fall headlong into his arms.

"careful."

Zilan said.

Xueli managed to stand still, but because her head hit Zilan's chest, her eyes went dark for a moment, and she lost her mind.

She hurriedly said, "Thank you."

After speaking, she continued to move forward.

Zilan looked at the way Xueli almost fell accidentally just now, and felt a little uneasy after thinking about it. After hesitating, she reached out and took her hand.
