Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 48 Mountain Island
Gardenia stopped on a floating island and observed the surrounding scenery. It was very unfamiliar. However, when the clouds fell, she found that she had deviated from the direction back to Fengnan Hall. This floating island was close to the boundary of Taixu Mountain. It is not within the boundary of Taixu Mountain Gate.

Fortunately, this place was not too far from Taixu Mountain. When she was about to return with her sword again, suddenly there was a loud snorting and exhalation from behind her. This sound sounded familiar, and she turned around to look. , but she saw that Qiongqi, with the head of a cow and the body of a cow, had been lying down not far behind her for some time, wagging its tail excitedly, and crawling towards her as if to please.

This place is close to the barrier of Taixu Mountain, how could this Qiongqi appear?Judging from the way it fawned over her and kissed her, it was not as fierce as usual. It seemed like it was the Qiongqi she had tamed.

"Stop, don't come over!" Gardenia shouted while holding her sword.

The Qiongqi ignored her warning. Instead, it shook its big head, screamed "Ouch", and continued to crawl toward her little by little while snoring.

"Come here again, don't blame me for being rude!" She frowned, suddenly having a plan on her mind.

She drew a talisman in the air and said: "The God of Fire obeys the order, and the fire from the sky leads the way——"

A cluster of dazzling flames surrounded the talisman and rushed towards the poor beast.

This is the "Fire Drawing Talisman" that Gardenia just learned from studying the "Essence of Ancient Spells and Secrets" by herself. Because she doesn't know how to use her own spiritual power, the power of this Fire Drawing Talisman is not great, and it flies around slowly. When it came to Qiongqi's eyes, it only burned a few hairs on its big head, and then it was instantly extinguished.

Qiongqi smelled a burning smell in the air. Perhaps he knew that his hair was burnt by the fire charm played by Gardenia. He sneezed loudly and made a low "purr" sound. There seemed to be something in his eyes. As if he was careful and aggrieved, he paused for a while and then crawled towards Gardenia again.

He was still so cautious, as if he was afraid that she would be angry.

Gardenia ignored it. Whenever she thought that it was because of its fight with Zhu Yan that she lost her parents who loved her, she could not get rid of her anger. She shouted to Qiongqi: "That's fine, I just learned a few tricks." How about using this stupid cow like you to practice spells?"

She moved her fingertips slightly and drew a few strokes in the void, and a "Water Diversion Talisman" followed the gushing water and rushed toward Qiongqi's face.

The water flow was not very big, but it also wet Qiongqi's head and face. Qiongqi let out a wet "Ouch~" and shook the water droplets on his head with all his strength. It stopped two or three feet away, just crawling aside and wagging its tail to please Gardenia, and stopped getting closer.

Gardenia smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll let you see something awesome this time."

She muttered a few mantras in her mouth, and immediately drew a "Thunder Drawing Talisman" in the void in her hand: "Lightning triggers, shattering the wilderness, go -"

But she saw a very weak thunder and lightning condensed from the tip of her finger, and instantly struck Qiongqi's head——

It had just been wetted on the head by Gardenia's water diversion charm. Although the lightning was very weak, because it had been touched by water before, this lightning strike actually caused a large bloody gash on the door of its face. It continued After wailing several times, its four hooves tapped restlessly on the ground for a long time before stopping.

At the end, its eyes were filled with tears, and it looked at Gardenia pitifully. Then it stretched out its big tongue and gently licked the wound near the corner of its mouth. It didn't get close, but it didn't leave Gardenia either.

When Gardenia saw its pitiful eyes and the big bloody gash on its face caused by her own lightning talisman, most of her anger dissipated. Seeing that it was still looking at her in a flattering way, she sighed, "Forget it. No matter how wrong you were in the beginning, it was all because you were driven by others. Now I am taking it out on you, but I have never seen the person who drove you, so what’s the point?" That Qiongqi seemed to understand what she said, He let out a cry of joy, ran and jumped around Gardenia, then lowered his body and sat next to Gardenia, as if he was asking Gardenia to ride on its back.

Gardenia was slightly startled, "Do you want to take me to see the master who can control you?"

The Qiongqi let out another cry of joy, and Gardenia finally understood. She thought about it, this Qiongqi was related to Yan Yingdian. Although she probably couldn't touch its owner, she hid in the distance and watched. It would be nice to see it, at least to know who was the culprit who killed her parents.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to stay far away. I just want to take a look at your master from a distance, and I can't get too close."

She commanded, and the Qiongqi let out another cry of joy, as if it had been waiting for a long time. When the gardenia climbed onto its back, it waved its two huge wings, soared into the sky, and flew out...

Along the way, Gardenia tried hard to remember the appearance of several small towns, mountains and rivers that it passed. After flying for more than an hour, the poor wizard gradually slowed down and landed on the ground.

Gardenia took a look and saw that this place turned out to be an inaccessible mountain island. The island was rugged with strange rocks, but there was a palace on the top of the island. There were not many brilliant colors, and everything as far as the eye could see was black and gray.

The majestic palace was built on the top of this mountain island. There were two sculptures of ancient beasts standing on both sides of the tall palace door. It looked solemn and terrifying, making people feel intimidated.

But the strange thing is that there is a small village not far below the floating island palace. Just before Qiongqi landed, Gardenia could vaguely see villagers coming and going in the small village. It was a lively scene.

The existence of this small village makes the palace on this mountain island particularly abrupt. The lively scene in the village is in sharp contrast to the severe and terrifying feeling in front of the palace.

Gardenia couldn't help but wonder, why is there a small village here?

She sat on Qiongqi's back, and just now she clearly felt that this place also had a barrier like Taixu Mountain. If Qiongqi hadn't led her through the barrier, she wouldn't have been able to enter easily.The small village was also within the barrier, and it seemed as if the palace was protecting the small village.

Qiongqi took Gardenia with him and flew until he landed in front of the gate of the palace. Gardenia was afraid of being discovered by the owner of the palace, so he lay on Qiongqi's back without moving for a long time.

"Damn stupid cow, you will be discovered if you get so close!" Gardenia scolded Qiongqi in a low voice, but Qiongqi just snorted, as if he didn't understand.

I wonder if the owner of this palace thinks highly of his own cultivation, so there is no one guarding the door of this palace. Gardenia originally planned to sneak down and hide aside.

Suddenly I heard the sound of a flute sounding quietly, like a trickle of water flowing through my green-white fingers, but the sadness and loneliness in it could not be concealed.

The melodious sound of the flute came from the palace. Qiongqi let out a cry of joy, retracted his huge wings, and stood in front of the door of the hall. Not long after, a person slowly walked out from the open door of the palace. .
