The Otherworldly God

Chapter 360

When Le Zheng'an heard Jiuselu say that they were the only ones who entered the Spirit Island, he could not sit still because he was worried about his father and brother. However, Jiuselu kept smiling and greeting them enthusiastically without answering.

Natural tree stumps serve as tables, huge roots serve as stools, and backrests are woven from vines.

Bamboo tubes were used as cups, filled with the mountain spring water prepared by the Nine-Colored Deer for them; leaves were used as plates and bowls, placed with various fresh fruits.

"I don't have anything else to offer here. If you want to know what there is in the mountains and wilderness, then I have everything."

Le Zheng Qiming was already extremely tired. The mountain spring water and wild fruits in front of him were all delicacies to him, and he ate and drank them happily.

When the Nine-Colored Deer saw that Le Zheng Yuhua did not move and that he was looking around warily, he sat down and ate and drank with them.

"My little ones here are free and do whatever they want. Come, I'll toast you all."

The Nine-Colored Deer raised the cup, and the clear mountain spring water swayed slightly in the bamboo tube, as if reflecting the mystery and tranquility of the Spirit Island. Her eyes fell on Le Zheng Yuhua's face, and she smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Master Yuhua, this place is very safe. If your father and brother are destined, they will meet you."

Upon hearing this, Le Zheng Yuhua frowned slightly and glanced at her. For some reason, she always felt that Jiuselu was too enthusiastic about her. Le Zhengan was obviously worried and fidgeting, but he was talking about himself.

"Ninth Miss may have misunderstood. Although we both have the surname Le Zheng, we are at most cousins, not brothers. This time we came here to look for our great-uncle and two cousins."

When Le Zhengan heard this, he realized that his parents were a little older than him, so he was actually a generation older than them, which felt a little strange.

The Nine-Colored Deer put down the bamboo tube and smiled brightly: "I see. However, as I said just now, in the past thousand years, only you few have been here. No one else has ever seen it."

The people I just misunderstood were actually Le Zheng Yuhua's father and brother. Both their tone and their words were much more reassuring in comparison.

Therefore, the slightly cold words of Jiuselu at this moment were like a stone thrown into the lake, stirring up ripples in Le Zhengan's heart. He stood up suddenly, put down the bamboo tube in his hand, and asked anxiously: "Is it really so? Isn't this the island of mist?"

Jiuselu shook his head slightly, a hint of profoundness flashed in his eyes: "This place has always been called Lingdao. Ever since the Eight Formations Diagram was laid out on the sea, a thick fog surrounded Lingdao, and people outside started calling it that. It has been passed down, and probably only we call it Lingdao."

Le Zhengan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't lose his composure at this moment and had to keep a clear mind to find his father and brother.

He turned to Le Zheng Yuhua and said sincerely, "Yuhua..." Suddenly realizing the generation difference between the two, Le Zhengan didn't know how to address him for a moment. After a moment, he continued, "Brother Yuhua, do you think my father and brother are still trapped in the Eight Diagrams?"

The Nine-Colored Deer stood up nervously and said, "No way? Didn't you meet him? I'm so sorry, Master An, I don't know how to solve the Eight Diagrams. I didn't think of leaving the Spirit Island at the beginning. I just thought of it as being cut off from the outside world forever. Anyway, we have a quiet place."

Le Zheng Yuhua listened to her words, watched her every move, and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"No, Brother Yuhua, let's go back into the fog and search inch by inch."

Le Zhengan stood up and wanted to pull him away, but Le Zheng Yuhua calmly raised his glass, took a sip of the spring water and glanced at the Nine-Colored Deer.

"It's really spring water, it's sweet. Don't worry, Brother An. Although I led you out of the Eight Formations, the Eight Formations are ever-changing. Even if we go in now, the formations may be different at different times and places, so I need some time to study it. I believe in the abilities of Uncle Lei and the others. If we are just trapped in the fog, we can still wait."

"From what you said, is the Eight Trigrams Diagram really that powerful?"

"Just a pile of rocks and eight formations can resist an army of 100,000. Just think about it, Brother An, you can see how powerful it is. But Brother An, don't worry. Fortunately, I am quite interested in the Eight Formations and have studied it a little. I believe that within three days, I can solve this Eight Formations on the Sea."

Le Zhengan was still a little worried, but Jiuselu seemed a little anxious. He stood up and said, "In that case, I will go and prepare a place for you three to rest." Jiuselu saw their expressions and knew that he was anxious. He frowned slightly, put on an aggrieved look, and asked carefully, "We are not like outside. We only have a cave stone bed. Do you mind?"

Le Zheng Qiming stood up and waved his hands. Before he could say a word, his body shook unconsciously, and then he shook his head.

"No, I don't mind. It's much better than sleeping in the open." He shook his head again, trying to stay awake, but still felt that the scenery and people in front of him became blurry and doubled. "Tsk, am I... too tired?"

Le Zheng Yuhua also shook her head lightly and came over to support Le Zheng Qiming.

"We have been searching non-stop at sea for several days, and you have done the most work, so it is normal for you to be tired."

Le Zhengan was a little surprised. They were so energetic just now. Although they had been searching for several days and lacked sleep and rest, it was hard to say that they had been sleeping all day.

When he looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, Le Zheng'an understood what he meant with just one look and then sighed.

"I'm sorry, you two. I was only thinking about myself and forgot that we are just mortals. We have been on the sea for several days without eating well or resting. We are always on edge. What's more, you have never been out to sea before. I am too selfish. Miss Jiuselu, I will trouble you for the next few days. When I find my father and brother, I will bring them to thank you."

Jiuselu glanced at Lezheng Qiming, who was being helped to sit down and looked shaky, and replied with a smile: "You're welcome. I'll go and pack up for the three of you. Bye."

"Thank you, young lady."

Watching her walk away, Le Zheng Qiming waved his hand and stood up.

He picked up the bamboo tube and sniffed it, then said proudly, "I have been with Master for many years. He is an expert at hiding the smell of alcohol. As long as he wants, pretending to be drunk or sobering up is no problem. I don't know where I put this in my pocket, but I didn't expect that my mother's sobering pills are so effective. Brother, would you like one too?"

Le Zheng Yuhua's alcohol tolerance is not bad, but this is not his body after all. Over the years, he has not touched alcohol unless it is necessary. He thought he only drank half of the wine, but he didn't expect the wine to be so strong.

"Don't mention it, I'm really a little drunk."

Le Zheng Yuhua took it, swallowed it, and soon recovered.
