169 The people at the foot of the mountain

"Relief?" Shan Xuan really wanted to refute two sentences, every life has a way of living every life, how can he wantonly deprive other lives like this, and call it 'liberation'?

But Death Yin specifically mentioned the half-demon, and Shan Xuan knew very well that Death Yin himself was a half-demon.

"You..."

Shan Xuan wanted to ask what the dead man meant, but suddenly he heard a hissing sound in his ears, and the Spirit Ice Bird suddenly appeared.

The Spirit Ice Bird's transparent physique seemed to make the surroundings brighter a bit.

Yu Yin didn't say much, grabbed Shan Xuan's arm, and brought the person to the body of the Spirit Ice Bird, "I'll send you to the Snow Maiden!" ”

The Spirit Ice Bird fluttered its wings and flew up, although it was very dark around, but after the vision was widened, it was finally able to see, it turned out that there was nothing around them, except for the dormant eyes of various colors hidden in the darkness.

Shan Xuan looked at this lonely land, and when she looked at Death Yin, she felt that Death Yin's face was much colder.

After a while, Shan Xuan remembered and asked, "Just send me out, what are you doing at the Snow Girl?" ”

Dead Yin still stared straight ahead, and replied, "Do you have a better place to go besides the Snow Maiden?" ”

Indeed, Shan Xuan didn't know a few immortals with high mana, and there was no other shelter except for Tiancang Mountain. But she is not so close to the Snow Girl that once she encounters difficulties, she can go to the Snow Girl to hide.

If it was for the sake of death, the Snow Girl took her in again, what did Yu Danxuan mean?

left the demon world, but did not escape from the control of death.

"That's my business!" Shan Xuan held her breath in her heart, and she kept saying that she could leave, but it turned out that she was just talking nicely.

However, from beginning to end, he only said that he could let her go or send her out, and never said that he would let her go free, so he could only blame Shan Xuan for thinking too beautifully.

Yu Yin only glanced at Shan Xuan at this time, but he didn't open his mouth to explain because of Shan Xuan's expression that was about to be angry.

Shan Xuan was even more angry at this point, seeing that Yu Yin was still holding her arm for her safety, and did not let go, she immediately slapped on it, "Let go of me." ”

Death Yin's hand was painful, but he didn't let go immediately, but seeing that Shan Xuan was about to be angry, he still let go in time.

Shan Xuan and Yu Yin stood on the back of the Spirit Ice Bird at the same time, and the Spirit Ice Bird flew very steadily, but that was also relative to other mounts, far from reaching the level of walking on the ground.

She didn't feel it when she was tugging on her arm, but once she let go, Shan Xuan obviously felt a little dangerous.

Fortunately, Shan Xuan has been learning swordsmanship for many years, and her mentality and balance are well controlled, both of them are silent and do not make any sound, but the Spirit Ice Bird will be in a good mood to sing a few times!

When he came out of the Demon Realm Passage, there was suddenly a light in front of him.

When the eyes adjusted to the light, they realized that it was dusk.

In front of me, the red sunset hung in the sky, distant and dazzling.

Looking at the rapid retreat of the scene under his feet and the wind force he felt on his face, Shan Xuan knew that the speed of the Spirit Ice Bird was very fast.

I remembered that the day she disappeared from the world a month ago was also dusk, and at dusk after the heavy rain, the sky and the earth seemed to be washed by water, but the colorful glow on the horizon was accompanied by dark clouds, which was beautiful but could not make people feel shocked.

Unlike today's sunset and sunset, there is no regret about the beautiful scenery of a stunning dancer like a veil.

The Spirit Ice Bird went all the way to the west, and Shan Xuan felt that they were chasing the sunset little by little, but they couldn't get closer.

This wonderful feeling reminded her of Kuafu, who died of thirst day by day...

Whether it is a human or an immortal, there will always be a day when you die, and if it is for the wish of your heart, it is also a good destination.

When he was thinking about it, he felt his hair being pulled, and Shan Xuan glanced at Yu Yin.

Compared with the dead yin, who is always neat and tidy, her messy hairpin dances when it is blown by the wind, and naturally it also floats to the dead yin's face.

The hair moving around on the face feels very itchy, not to mention that Shan Xuan's hair floated to the face of the dead yin, and the dead yin can't just ignore it!

But in fact, he just wanted to take his hair away, and he didn't mean to hurt Shan Xuan.

What's more, it didn't hurt so much, so Shan Xuan didn't say anything.

Before dark, the two of them arrived together at the Ice Palace.

Coming to this place again, after Yu Yin handed over Shan Xuan to the Snow Girl, he left after a few simple explanations.

Shan Xuan could only be dissatisfied with this, but she also knew that resistance was useless, so she had to continue to live in the Ice and Snow Palace.

Although Shan Xuan had lived in the Ice and Snow Palace for a lot of time before, and the fate with the Snow Girl could not be explained clearly in three or two sentences, but really standing in front of the Snow Girl, Shan Xuan still couldn't beat a sullen fart with three sticks.

The Snow Girl naturally had nothing to say to Shan Xuan, so she settled Shan Xuan in the room and ignored her.

The ice and snow palace is completely made of ice carving, and it is controlled by the magic of the Snow Maiden, and it can be changed freely, once inside, it is difficult to get out, so Shan Xuan never bothered to remember the way, and she was not in a hurry to come out after entering the room.

Until the next morning, Chunxiang woke up Shan Xuan, who was still sleeping.

"The snow lotus is blooming, do you want to go and see it?"

After Shan Xuan opened the door, Chunxiang said happily, and her fleshy face was full of smiles.

After being stunned for a moment, Shan Xuan thought that it would be good to breathe, so she nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chunxiang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shan Xuan, "Let's go..."

As soon as Shan Xuan stepped out of the door, she remembered that she hadn't freshened up yet.

"Wait for me a little bit." Shan Xuan pointed to her hair and clothes, and Chunxiang naturally let go, but after Shan Xuan closed the door, she just cast a small spell and came out soon.

Chunxiang led Shan Xuan out of the Ice and Snow Palace and walked for a long time before they arrived at an open space, where a lot of snow lotuses were densely planted, and behind them was a snow mountain monster carrying a small basket.

Of course, the 'small' basket is only for the size of the snow mountain monster, at least if it is carried in Haruka's hand, it will definitely be next to the ground.

Shan Xuan knew that Snow Lotus was a great tonic for cultivation, but she couldn't help but feel strange when she saw so many Snow Lotuses for a while.

These snow lotuses are artificially cultivated rather than wild, and self-raising is not as good as the miraculous effect of the wild, if it is really for cultivation, spending a lot of time to plant so many delicate snow lotuses, it is far from being cost-effective to dig two plants, after all, for them, it is easy to pick some Ganoderma lucidum elixir or something.

Why would they do such a small thing?

Chunxiang pointed to Snow Lotus and said to Shan Xuan: "Look, this piece is all open, as for that piece, I'm afraid it will take a while, but it's almost there, do you want to eat a little?" ”

As she spoke, Haruka had already picked a few snowdrop petals and stuffed them into her mouth.

Shan Xuan shook her head, she didn't rely much on external things, and she naturally didn't have any intention of coveting these snow lotuses that she didn't own.

Chunxiang didn't shirk either, and instructed the snow mountain monster to hurry up to pick snow lotus, "Dabai, there, there, there, all of them are picked, be careful, and pull them up." ”

The snow mountain monster couldn't speak, and when he heard Haruka's order, he carried a basket and stepped on his toes and immediately went to work.

It is also a good thing to have such obedient servants!

Shan Xuan was basked in the morning sun and felt a lot better, after all, it was difficult for her fire attribute immortal cultivator to adapt to staying in the cold and biting snow mountain palace.

The snow in Taibai Mountain has not completely melted, but it is much less than in winter, and at least you can see the exposed stones.

Shan Xuan remembered that there was a lot of wind and snow at that time, she and Wen Yuan Zhenren wore a black and white lotus dress through the snowy mountains, and the days of going down the mountain were also hard, but there was nothing else to ask for in her heart

"What are you thinking?"

Just when Shan Xuan was stunned in the distance, Chunxiang came to the front, holding a snow lotus bigger than her face in her hand, and was slowly eating.

Although Shan Xuan had also eaten snow lotus, it was processed and added with auxiliary ingredients, she expected that if she wanted to eat it raw, even the taste of snow lotus would not taste good, but Chunxiang ate it with relish.

"I'm thinking..."Shan Xuan wanted to say that there were too many things for her to think about, such as when she would be able to regain her freedom, when she would be able to return to Tiancang Mountain and Master's side, and when she would be so strong that she would no longer be controlled by others... But in the end, Shan Xuan still shook her head, "I didn't think about anything." ”

"Oh!" Chunxiang doesn't doubt that he has him, after all, he is still young and can't see Shan Xuan's thoughts.

The snow mountain monster carefully walked in the gap of the snow lotus to pick flowers, but if it was clumsy, it would still accidentally step on a few plants.

Haruka would always complain a few words, and by the way, urge the snow mountain monster to continue working.

Because once the snow mountain monster does something wrong, he will stand there, scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, not knowing what he can do.

When she finally picked a basket full of them, Shan Xuan remembered and asked Chunxiang, "What are you doing picking so many snow lotuses?" ”

Chunxiang took the basket from the snow mountain monster, hehe smiled, but still didn't stop eating, "Eat!" ”

"You're eating alone?" Shan Xuan saw that Chunxiang was so edible, she really couldn't help it, and asked again.

Although the snow mountain monster is clumsy, but fortunately, it is obedient and diligent, so the process of picking snow lotus does not take too much time, but in just a few quarters of an hour, Chunxiang has eaten no less than five or six snow lotus.

"Of course not, eating so much will cause you to have a nosebleed." Haruka rolled her eyes, "Why don't you go back with Dabai!" I'll go to the bottom of the mountain and I'll be back soon. ”

Shan Xuan secretly thought, wouldn't it be easy for her to run away with only one snow mountain monster following her?

But seeing Chunxiang chewing her mouth like a little rabbit and looking like she wanted to break her up, it really made Shan Xuan unable to ignore it.

Shan Xuan had lived in the Ice and Snow Palace before in order to expel the demon soul in her body, and she had hardly come out, let alone Chunxiang had taken her out to pick snow lotus, so she didn't know what they were usually doing, so she asked with some curiosity: "Where are you going?" ”

"I..."Chunxiang was asked by Shan Xuan, and finally stopped eating, "Do you have to know?" ”

Chunxiang is a child after all, although she doesn't know her age, and she doesn't know what her mana is, but Shan Xuan is condescending, and naturally speaks with a little more confidence and coercion, "If you don't want to say it, it's okay." ”

Although it's okay to let Chunxiang not say it, Shan Xuan's tone is definitely not submissive, coupled with a slightly blaming look at Chunxiang, Chunxiang had no choice but to pull Shan Xuan's sleeve and said softly: "Okay then!" I'll take you with me, but when you get there, you must not laugh at others! ”

Who are you going to meet?

Shan Xuan was curious, could it be that there is a mysterious person living in this Taibai Mountain? But since she can't laugh at each other, she shouldn't be a very powerful person!

"Of course."

After getting Shan Xuan's assurance, Chunxiang still let the Snow Mountain Monster go back, leaving her alone to take Shan Xuan to the place below the mountain.

Shan Xuan imagined a lot along the way, and she was also mentally prepared, and even adjusted the true qi in her body, whether it was defense or attack, it was not a problem.

It wasn't until she walked for more than half an hour, in front of a dry well, that Chunxiang stopped and threw the basket down first, before she turned around and said to Shan Xuan: "Do you go down first, or do I go first?" ”

Although the basket was full of snow lotus, the snow lotus itself had no weight, and Chunxiang was also a person next to the snow girl, and she didn't feel the road, so Shan Xuan didn't help Chunxiang carry it, at this time, she threw the basket down directly, Shan Xuan saw that the dry well turned out to be a slide made of ice, and she didn't know where the other end led, of course Shan Xuan would not rush to the front.

"You go first!"

"Okay, but you have to wait for me to go down, and you will go down in a while, otherwise when it gets down, you will arrive before I get up, and it will crush me." Chunxiang did not forget to tell Shan Xuan.

"Hmm!" Shan Xuan naturally nodded in agreement, watched Chunxiang jump down for a while, and hesitated for a moment before jumping off the dry well slide.

The slide was long, but they descended quickly, so it didn't take long for them to reach the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as she got out of the slide, Shan Xuan saw a thatched house on the front.

Compared to the mountains, there is no trace of snow in this place, especially the smoke rising on the thatched house, under the scorching sun, Shan Xuan felt the high temperature in August.

Chunxiang waited at the exit, and when she saw Shan Xuan coming out, she beckoned to go to the thatched house together, "Come on!" ”

Shan Xuan followed behind Chunxiang, approaching the thatched house step by step, without noticing the slightest abnormality, it seemed that it was just an ordinary person, and there was no spiritual reaction.

Chunxiang didn't knock on the door, she directly pushed the door open, and shouted inside: "Auntie, I'm here and brought you a snow lotus." ”

Shan Xuan followed behind Chunxiang, but did not go in immediately.

It's a simple house, with all the furniture visible at a glance, two hot kang heads against the wall, then a lonely table and chairs in a wide open space, and then only a stove in the corner.

Hearing the voice, a peasant woman stood up from behind the stove, with a flower cloth wrapped around her head, "It's Koharuka here!" I'm ready to eat, and you're here. ”

Hearing the woman say this, Shan Xuan smelled the rich aroma of meat wafting in the air.

And Haruka had already thrown the basket aside and quickly rushed to the edge of the stove, "What kind of meat, venison?" What is the deer? ”

"You're a nose that's smarter than a dog!"

Listening to Haruka and the woman's back and forth, it was obvious that they had known each other for a long time.

It's just that this thatched hut should have lived in more than one woman, as can be seen from the two beds.

Shan Xuan guessed that the other person should be a man, not a man in a husband and wife relationship, because there were only two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and it was impossible to imagine that they were prepared for Chunxiang.

And the two bowls, one of which was three times the size of the other, did not have such a large amount of food, and could not use such a large bowl at all.

And there's also the strange thing about it, which is that there is not a single mirror in this house.

"Hey, who is this?"

Just as Shan Xuan was observing here, the peasant woman wiped her hands with her apron and walked towards Shan Xuan.

Haruka grabbed a piece of meat from the pot, puffed up her cheeks and blew hard, even if her hands were hot, she was reluctant to throw it away, "I brought her... Whew... Auntie, how do you make this meat! It's so fragrant..."

When the peasant woman heard Chunxiang say this, she saw that Shan Xuan's face was kind, so she smiled at Shan Xuan and walked back.

Seeing that Haruka had already blown the venison cold and was about to stuff it into her mouth, she quickly took a pair of chopsticks from the edge of the pot and pulled Haruka's hand.

"Ahh It hurts! Haruka was in pain and jumped to dodge, but the meat was still stuffed into her mouth.

The peasant woman is a pity for that piece of meat, they are such a poor family, it is not easy to eat a meal of meat, and they were eaten so much by the little girl at once, of course they are distressed.

"I really can't help you! Don't eat it! I'm going to be back soon. The peasant woman uncovered the pot and stir-fried it twice, with a kind smile on her face.

It turned out to be a son! Shan Xuan thought.

Chunxiang ate her cheeks bulging, although her hands were red, but she didn't hold a grudge when she tasted fresh, and after chewing and swallowing part of it in her mouth, she ran to the peasant woman and said, "Auntie, your craftsmanship is simply the best in the world." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, I can't give you another piece of meat!" The peasant woman completely saw through Haruka's attempt.

Chunxiang didn't feel embarrassed, and ran behind the stove again, holding the firewood in her hand, "Auntie, I'll help you add firewood." ”

The peasant woman was used to Chunxiang's methods, and she was not very surprised, but when she saw Shan Xuan still standing at the door, she whispered to Chunxiang: "You don't invite your friend to come in and sit?" ”

Chunxiang glanced at Shan Xuan, in fact, she was also unpredictable about Shan Xuan, especially knowing that Shan Xuan was still the one who had injured the Snow Girl, and knew the Demon King, she intuitively felt that Shan Xuan must be a very dangerous person.

But she's bored in the Ice Palace!

Sister Snow Girl doesn't play with her much, and the Snow Mountain Monster is too stupid, when she asked Sister Snow Girl if she could find Shan Xuan to play, Snow Girl said no, but last night Sister Snow Girl suddenly said yes.

As soon as she heard this, she naturally put aside her worries and hurriedly asked Shan Xuan to get up and come out to play together, which is what happened now.

But when she saw Shan Xuan standing at the door inconspicuously and not coming in for a long time, she didn't know what Shan Xuan was thinking, so she just whispered: "This is not your home!" Invite her in! ”

The peasant woman glanced at Chunxiang, but after all, she was the woman in charge, and she had some opinions, so she smiled and said to Shan Xuan: "The little lady doesn't think the cold house is shabby, just come in and sit for a while!" When the meat is out of the pot, try it too. ”

Chunxiang was jealous to death, she worked hard to send Xuelian over, and she had to be beaten on the back of her hand to eat a piece of meat, but Shan Xuan stood there and didn't do anything, and she could eat meat after a while, which was too unfair.

"Good!" Shan Xuan agreed indifferently, went to the edge of the table in the room, found a stool and sat down, and the basket containing the snow lotus was just at her feet.

Chunxiang is now focused on the meat, and the peasant woman is also bent on cooking delicious and colorful dishes, both of them are gathered around the stove, and naturally no one pays attention to Shan Xuan.

Shan Xuan frowned, a little puzzled, it seemed that she had just arrived at the homes of ordinary people, and there was nothing special.

And Haruka only knew that she was thinking about the meat in the pot over and over again, saying that she hadn't tasted it just now, and could she eat a little more.

Shan Xuan looked at Chunxiang's round figure, and probably understood her love for food, but the Ice and Snow Palace didn't smoke cooking, so she hadn't experienced it before.

I also heard a peasant woman say that her son was very talented in hunting, and often ate either bird meat, rabbit meat or venison, and even hunted a big yellow and white worm, and the skin was peeled off as a quilt!

Sure enough, a tiger skin was indeed placed on the kang, and hunting crossbows were also hung on the walls, although they were all worn.

Shan Xuan swallowed her saliva, she didn't get up in the morning, she stood in the sun for so long, and she came all the way here, her thirst was tight, and the tip of her nose smelled the mouth-watering smell of meat.

However, before she could open her mouth to ask for a glass of water, she heard a 'clang', and a behemoth rushed in.

The posture of ignoring it even knocked down the two doors that Shan Xuan had just entered and did not close, and fell to the ground, causing dust to fly.

Shan Xuan instinctively left her place, thinking that Chunxiang and the peasant woman were by the stove, and deliberately stopped in front of them to prevent accidents.

"My door... You dead boy broke my door again...", the peasant woman's words, indicating that the behemoth who came in was his son.

It's just that Shan Xuan is a little unacceptable, this son is nearly two meters tall, tall and fat, and after rushing in, he went straight to the snow lotus on the ground, buried his head in the basket containing the snow lotus, licked it like a dog, and made a sound like a pig eating.

It really made Shan Xuan unable to associate the person she saw in front of her with the good hunting hand described by the peasant woman!

"You dead boy!" The peasant woman rushed over, twisted her son's ears, and dragged the man straight up.

It is impossible for a woman to have such strength, but after she really dragged the behemoth up, the behemoth did not continue to eat.

Shan Xuan looked at her face, and only felt frightened, is that still a human face?

A mouthful of yellow and messy teeth, the nose collapsed to the ground and only the nostrils could be seen, and the eyes were strangely one eyeball upwards and one eyeball inward, not to mention the eyebrow skin, it was simply unbearable to look directly.

Shan Xuan glanced at Chunxiang, the little chubby girl was stealing meat to eat!

The peasant woman probably saw Shan Xuan's uneasiness, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it, only twisted her son's ears and was busy educating: "Is this for you to eat?" It's going to be exchanged for money, do you still want to spend the winter..."

The tall and fat object that was nearly two meters tall nodded and replied.

"Even if you want to eat, you can only eat a little, and you don't know a little!" The peasant woman finally let go of her son's ears, bent down to pick up the snow lotus scattered all over the ground, and picked out the bad ones.

Her son stood behind her with a low brow and watched, making some frightening sounds coming out of his throat.
