"Tweet--" I don't know if I heard the mention of myself, but Sakura on my shoulder called out to the figure, as if to say, it was not that green thing.

"Qingzi, don't you even recognize me?" Hearing the cry, the figure frowned and looked over with a pair of faint eyes.

"Chirp!" Sakura seemed to be frightened. She backed away suddenly and hid behind someone's neck, with only a small head sticking out.

"This girl..." Li Xuehao hesitated on how to call the other person. After all, the names of ancient and modern people have changed a lot, so he simply said in the way he thought, "I am not Zhou Lang, and it is not Qingzi you are talking about. I I think the girl has recognized the wrong person, don’t you know her name?”

The figure focused her eyes on him again. Facing his strange attitude, her expression darkened obviously: "I am Qiao Ai."

"But Xiao Qiao among Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao?" Li Xuehao didn't know the name of Big Qiao. He just had a preconceived idea that the other person was the Xiao Qiao in history.

"Alas -" the figure sighed faintly, and his eyes gradually dimmed, "I think after many reincarnations, Zhou Lang has forgotten the fate of his previous life. I don't blame Zhou Lang, I just hate that he raped me before I was fully trained. The behavior of Zhou Lang goes against the will of heaven and changes fate..."

"The girl is talking about Zhou Lang, is it Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin?" Although he was roughly sure that the person in front of him was Xiao Qiao, but he didn't have any confirmation after all, Li Xuehao couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, Zhou Gongjin is Zhou Lang and my husband." The figure nodded, seeming to gradually regain his composure from the sadness of not recognizing him.

"Then I wonder how Miss Xiao Qiao could..." Li Xuehao pointed to the broken jade carving of the lady on the ground, and wanted to ask, how could she be here? Of course, I am also more curious about what kind of state she is in now. She is neither human nor spiritual. She can be seen with the naked eye, but cannot be perceived with spiritual consciousness, just like the situation in a dream.

"This is the Shaohao Stone among the five-colored soil." As if he knew what he wanted to ask, the figure looked at the broken statue on the sand, with a trace of nostalgia on his face, "...that day, Lang Zhou was seriously ill and could not be cured. I I wanted to help him change his destiny against the will of heaven, but unexpectedly a natural disaster suddenly struck him. Fortunately, with the help of this young Hao stone, I was able to keep a trace of his soul intact."

Yuan Ling?

Li Xuehao's heart moved, wondering what it has to do with Yuanshen? And what exactly is this Shaohao Stone? He has never heard of it before.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long without the protection of Shaohao Stone..." The figure looked up at the sea in the distance and said quietly.

Li Xuehao looked at her carefully and found that she was indeed more transparent than before. It may not be long before she becomes completely transparent until she disappears. Just like the spirit body after death, if there is no chance, it will dissipate between heaven and earth.

"Is there any way to remedy this?" he asked.

The figure shook his head: "The Shaohao Stone is one piece. When Zhou Lang carved it, he used his own essence and blood as a guide. Now that it has been destroyed, it can no longer be my refuge. It doesn't matter, it was born between heaven and earth. , should have returned to heaven and earth, this is the unavoidable fate of the Qi Refiner."

Qigator!

This was not the first time that Li Xuehao heard this specific term. Qi Refiner was an ancient name for a monk. When he met the carp demon Fei Zhen, the other party asked him if he was a Qi Refiner and said that her sister was born in the spirit of Meng Ling. In this land, there is a group of Qi Refiners, and it was only through the guidance of those Qi Refiners that Meng Ling found the "Dragon Gate".

From what Xiao Qiao said, it seemed that she was also a Qi practitioner.

But in the dream, he called the other person "fellow Taoist". Xiao Qiao said that she did not practice Taoism, which was inconsistent with her status as a Qi refining practitioner. Could it be that cultivating Taoism and refining Qi are two completely different concepts?

"Miss Xiao Qiao, apart from Shaohao Stone, is there nothing else that can serve as a shelter for you?" Li Xuehao said while taking out a dusty and inconspicuous ring from the storage ring, "Look How about this?"

The figure looked at the ring in his hand and suddenly asked, "Is this it?" Without waiting for his answer, the figure suddenly turned into a white smoke and went straight into the ring.

Li Xuehao was secretly surprised. This was a "trophy" he harvested from other Onmyoji. After he refined it, it was used to house the shikigami. Onmyoji called it a tool of service. It was impossible to come in without his permission, but Xiao Qiao was able to come in by himself, which meant that he could open the door without a "key".

Not long after entering the ring, the white smoke that turned into a human figure floated out from inside again, directly rolled up the broken jade sculpture on the sand, and got back into the ring again.

Li Xuehao could clearly see that the original ordinary ring gradually changed from gray to silvery white. Even the material of the metal changed, becoming crystal clear and similar to jade. Although the style There is no change, but the change in material makes this ring suddenly become exquisite and extraordinary.

After the ring was completely transformed into jade, a line of white smoke floated out from the ring, transforming into a graceful figure with wide robes and long sleeves. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the body between half virtual and half real actually turned into a figure. It became a little more solid.

"Zhou Lang, God has been kind to us. Back then, you were unable to refine your Qi. Now, after repeated reincarnations, you have entered the Taoist lineage. When my Yuanling becomes more condensed, I can help you unlock the spiritual wisdom of your previous life and renew your destiny."

It seems that because he has found a place to stay, the figure has become more confident, and his tone is not as resentful as before, and can be heard to be cheerful.

After saying that, she turned around and got back into the ring.

Li Xuehao looked at the crystal clear ring in his hand, hesitated, and put it into the storage ring.

The ability of the other party to enter and exit the ring at will is too scary. If he is doing something important and she suddenly floats out of the ring, it will be embarrassing.

Although there are too many questions in my heart, such as what Yuanling is, what Luan bird is, and the five-color earth Shao Hao stone, etc., everything, there are too many mysteries to be solved.

He didn't even completely believe Xiao Qiao's identity, but he didn't feel any ill intentions from the other party, so he temporarily decided to help her.

"Chirp!" Sakura, who had been watching his every move, saw him put the ring away, and seemed to know that the woman could no longer threaten it, so she became active again.

"The guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong." Li Xuehao flicked its head with his finger. He usually showed his teeth and claws at people except Mizuhashi Kachiko, but just now he was too frightened to dare to bark, but this also proved from the side that Xiao Qiao With its strength, it wouldn't hide if it didn't feel danger.

"Chirp--" Sakura was very angry at being looked down upon by her father and put her head on his neck.

"Okay, okay, I know you're not scared, okay." Li Xuehao poked its swollen belly.

"Tweet." Sakura was finally satisfied and sat down, leaning on his neck, enjoying his massage comfortably.

…

After coming out of the secret space and returning to the hotel room, I found that the sky had completely darkened. Outside the window, the lights were on, and the night view of the Magic City had begun to bloom with dazzling charm.

Li Xuehao couldn't help but be surprised. He had just finished lunch not long ago, why did it come to night all of a sudden?

"Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~"

The mobile phone placed on the bedside vibrated suddenly. Li Xuehao picked it up casually, but the phone suddenly hung up.

It was Sawai Yuko calling. The little girl didn't know what to do. She hung up after ringing twice.

Li Xuehao was about to call, but found that there were several missed calls on his mobile phone, all from Chiba Sayuri, Kuabao Mai, Majima Yuki and others.

Most of the displayed times were in the evening. Perhaps because he didn't answer the call, he didn't call again, but instead left a message.

"Hao Erjun, we are going out, Miss Quan will be our translator, you don't have to worry..."

"Nujiang, are you dating another woman? You don't answer the phone..."

"Haoji, there are so many of us here, do you want to find another woman?"

In and out of words, everyone seemed to believe that he was looking for another woman. Li Xuehao could only smile bitterly. It was normal for them to think that way. Whoever asked him to "disappear" suddenly and not answer the phone would naturally be suspected. .
