Chapter 2 Xuankun Illustrated Chronicles

The early morning sun shone on the yard and it was another sunny day!

The kitten does not have the habit of sleeping lazy, looking at the owner who is not awake on the bed, it stretched out its claws and scratched his soles, to be on weekdays, it must climb up and lick his face, every time Baili Zixuan is helplessly licked by it to wake up.

This time, the owner was still holding the strange stone that scared it, and Xiao Qi didn't dare to climb up.

Scratched by the kitten like this, Baili Zixuan woke up, stretched his waist, looked at the strange stone in his hand, and couldn't help but pick it up and kiss it.

The kitten on the side is jealous!

Baili Zixuan wanted to wear this strange stone on his body, but its light was too strong, so he had to put it in a beautiful Nanmu box and lock it in the cabinet.

As soon as Baili Zixuan returned to his room, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

opened the courtyard door, and the maid in the house outside the door carried a pretty girl.

"Young Master, Miss Ruoxue is here!" said the maid.

This girl is in the flower season, the age is similar to Baili Zixuan, the slender body is wearing a light red dress, a melon seed face is handsome and moving, combing a hanging hair and a bun, a beautiful demeanor of everyone, beautiful and temperamental!

"Ruoxue, you're back!" Baili Zixuan happily led the girl into the room.

When the kitten saw Ruoxue, she pounced on it, she gently caught it and gently stroked its black and gray short hair.

Ruoxue's surname is Mei, her full name is Mei Ruoxue, she is the same age as Baili Zixuan, the two are childhood sweethearts, and they grew up together, so Xiaoqi is also very familiar with them. Its father, Mei Qianyuan, is one of the richest businessmen in the town, his family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, has a silk business, and has a deep personal relationship with Baili Zixuan's father Baili Kun, and the two made a marriage contract for them when they were young. Some time ago, she went to Haocang City, the imperial capital, with her father, and just returned yesterday.

Baili Zixuan told Ruoxue about what happened yesterday with great interest, and her big watery eyes didn't blink for a long time.

"Brother Zixuan, did it really come up on its own?" Holding the strange stone in his hand, watching Xiao Qi hide from afar, Ruoxue's eyes widened.

"Yes, I touched the water for a long time, but it jumped out on its own!"

"Brother Zixuan, I feel as if it is looking at me, as if it is alive. ”

"You feel that way, too! Me too, I thought it was a delusion, but it seems that it is indeed mysterious!"

"It's amazing! It's beautiful!" Ruoxue held it in her arms and liked it for a while.

Although Fu Bo told not to talk about this strange stone to outsiders, Baili Zixuan himself is also a cautious teenager, but his relationship with Ruoxue is extraordinary, so he is naturally not among outsiders. Besides, Ruoxue is an extremely intelligent girl who has her own sense of proportion.

Seeing that Ruoxue loves this strange stone so much, although Baili Zixuan is also very fond of it, he still wants to give it to Ruoxue. Ruoxue knew that he liked strange things, especially jade and the like, but when he saw that he liked it, he wanted to give it to himself, and his heart was warm, and his dark eyes became more gentle, looking at the handsome face in front of him, his little face was secretly crimson.

On weekdays, Baili Zixuan gave Ruoxue a gift, and she happily accepted it, but this time in the face of such a beloved thing, she refused. She said, this strange stone is so spiritual, it must have a fate with you, you have to treasure it, not easily with people!

Wakayuki is such a cute girl!

Ruoxue brought a silver silk coat from Haocang City to Baili Zixuan, which was woven from heavenly silk, which was very valuable, soft and comfortable, and had strong protection. She knew that Baili Zixuan loved mountains and rivers and was happy with martial arts, and often crossed mountains and rivers to dance with knives and guns, so as not to hurt him.

Baili Zixuan was moved!

The two chatted for a while, Ruoxue was in a hurry to go back, in the past, she could play for a long time and stay for dinner, but since she was in a hurry to go back, Baili Zixuan was not good at staying, and sent Ruoxue to the mansion. Along the way, when they met the people in the house, they all joked that the young master sent his daughter-in-law, which made Ruoxue's little face crimson for a while, and Baili Zixuan was also embarrassed.

Baili Zixuan's father, Baili Kun, is a wealthy merchant in the town who is no less than Mei Qianyuan, who is benevolent and famous in the township. He built a caravan, and often led the team to go out to run merchants, the elder for a few months, the short for a few days, Nan Haoguo he basically traveled all over!

Bailikun has been leading the team out for more than three months and will come back around this evening.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Baili Zixuan was about to go to the town to wait for his father's return, Ruoxue came to the door again and brought him a golden silk sachet.

"Brother Zixuan, this sachet is sewn from the special material of my embroidery village, the shading is excellent, the strange stone should not be transparent, it is easy to wear, you can try it." ”

Baili Zixuan put the strange stone in, and sure enough, no light came out, so he put it into the sachet and wore it in the back of the robe.

"Thank you, Ruoxue!" The deep dark eyes on the white face stared at Ruoxue Road infinitely and gently.

"No, Brother Zixuan promised to take me to your antique workshop last time, don't forget. Ruoxue's face was slightly red, and she quickly avoided Baili Zixuan's gaze.

"I'll go tomorrow, and I'm sorry to invite Miss Ruoxue to come!" Baili Zixuan said playfully.

"Hehe, remember not to miss the appointment! Uncle is coming back today, you are going to pick him up, I will leave first, go to the market." Ruoxue smiled, and a shadow slowly disappeared.

It turned out that Ruoxue was in a hurry to go back in the morning to sew a sachet for herself, looking at her distant figure, Baili Zixuan also felt a warm feeling in her heart!

The entrance to the town of Foye is in its northeast corner, where it is connected to an entry and exit road leading to the outside world. There is a pavilion type eight pillars and three eaves of the tall archway at the entrance of the town, which is made of marble, and the three words of "Buddha Leaf Town" are written on the seal, and this archway is built by Baili Kun. In order to facilitate travel at night, when the archway was built, more than a dozen lighthouses were built on both sides of the road near the entrance of the town. Baili Zixuan is a cultivator, his pace is fast, and in less than two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the entrance of the town, because of the lighthouse, although it is night, he can see clearly within a certain range.

Because he missed his father, Baili Zixuan looked into the distance in front of the archway from time to time, and when he saw a figure, he ran over to see if it was his father......

About three quarters of an hour later, nearly seven o'clock, several figures gradually became clear in the depths of the gallop, a caravan of about twenty people. The leader is about fifty years old, riding a black-maned horse, wearing a blue-gray robe, a black beard, tall, bright eyes, slightly serious, and looks like an unsmiling person, he is Baili Zixuan's father - Baili Kun. Behind it, there were eight carriages, flanked by a dozen caravans on horseback.

"Father...... Father...... Father ......, "Seeing Baili Kun, Baili Zixuan ran over.

Seeing his son, Baili Kun, who was still serious just now, laughed, his face seemed to bloom, and he hurriedly got off the horse and shouted: "Xuanzi!"

Baili Zixuan jumped on Bailikun one by one, put his arms around his neck, making Bailikun stumble, and then jumped around him, as if checking if his father was missing a piece of meat during his absence.

"Hahahaha! This kid is spoiled by me. In front of so many caravan guards, Baili Kun said with a little embarrassment.

The caravan guards couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw this warm and witty picture......

The group started from the entrance of the town, crossed several streets, and came to the door of the house, in front of Baili Mansion. Guangliang gate, blue bricks and gray tiles, a gold-inlaid plaque at the forehead, three words of "Baili Mansion" in italics, a pair of stone lions on the left and right in front of the door, is very magnificent!

Baili Mansion is a large mansion with high walls and deep courtyards, and nearly 100 houses.

Knowing that the master would come back today, Bai Lifu was waiting in front of the door. The group entered the mansion, cleaned up and stopped, and Bailifu had prepared a sumptuous banquet in the main hall, and all the people in the mansion, regardless of up and down, sat down and enjoyed it together. Baili Fu knew that this was the habit of the master, every festival or when he went out, he had to have a banquet with the people in the house, and Baili Zixuan, although he did not smile, there was no distinction between high and low in his eyes.

The main hall is spacious, with five or six tables set up, and the seats are staggered, and they are happy......

After the banquet, everyone retreated, leaving Bailikun father and son and Bailifu in the hall.

Bai Lifu told the old man about the strange stone.

Bailikun knew about Qinglan's reversal, looked at the strange stone, and was also shocked, he was definitely an antique master, but he couldn't tell his origin. Like Bai Lifu, he told his son to collect it well and not to reveal it at will.

After Bai Lifu left, Bai Likun stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "Xuanzi, I also found a good thing for you when my father went out this time!"

"What is it?Father, show me quickly!" Baili Zixuan stared at his father with excitement on his face, and asked impatiently.

Mrs. Bailikun died early, two sons under his knees, the eldest son was abducted when he was a child, and there was no news of him for many years. Father said it was a good thing, Baili Zixuan knew that this must have cost his father a lot of money, and while he was full of anticipation, his heart was also full of warmth!

"Ahem...... Running all the way, my father's throat is a little itchy!" Bai Likun looked at his son's eager appearance and deliberately cocked Erlang's legs.

"Father, please use tea!" Baili Zixuan hurriedly poured a cup of tea for his father with a flattering face.

"Hahahaha! Bailikun got up, took out a quaint rectangular thick box from his bag and handed it to his son.

Bailizi Xuanshen quickly opened the box, and inside was a book bound in thread, and the cover reads impressively-"Xuankun Tuzhi". His dark eyes stared at the boss for a moment, as if he didn't quite believe his eyes, because this was what he had dreamed of.

"Xuankun Illustrated Chronicles" is an ancient book, written more than 300 years ago, by whom there is no way to verify, it records the world's celestial geography, human species, anecdotes and legends in the form of pictures and texts. It is said that when the book was written, it caused a sensation and was highly regarded by explorers and curiosity hunters. Baili Zixuan is very good at this, he once saw an introduction to it in a classic, but unfortunately it has been lost for a hundred years.

Bailikun really loves his son, knowing that his son likes it, he has been looking for this book, never thought that this time he went out to listen to an antique everyone to find this thing, he spared no expense for his son to get it, enough to spend several years of his income.

Bai Lizi salivated, and pretended to bow deeply to his father: "Thank you, father, father is mighty, you have been tired all the way, rest early, Xuanzi has retired!"

"You conscienceless little cub, you want to slip away when you get something, get out! Get out!" Bai Likun waved his hand at his son lovingly.

Baili Zixuan walked out of the main hall with a puff of joy and rushed towards his room, he was impatient to see the true face of this ancient book. On the one hand, he had been fond of this ancient book for a long time, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if there was any record of the strange stone on it.

Looking at his son's figure hurrying away, Bailikun couldn't help laughing......

In the bedroom, the lights were bright, Baili Zixuan was concentrating on flipping through the scrolls, without distractions, Xiao Qi provocatively reached out and scratched the next page, and he quickly retracted it with a glance......

According to the "Xuankun Atlas", this world is called the Qianluo Domain, and the Qianluo Domain is an endless sea area with five continents and many islands on it. The five continents, according to their orientation, are the Eastern Divine Continent, the Western Desert Continent, the Southern Hao Continent, the Northern Forbidden Continent, and the Central Demon Continent. The eastern Shenzhou is full of mountains, rivers, lakes and valleys, there is no country and the people, there are many strange grasses, strange trees, rare birds and beasts, there are often gods and people who can hide here, because it is called Shenzhou; the western desert is a vast and boundless desert, there are some large and small oases distributed on it, desertification is eight or nine out of ten, because it is said to be a desert continent; the southern Haozhou is the widest, the soil is abundant, the population is dense, because it is called Haozhou; the northern forbidden continent is an extremely cold zone, covered with ice and snow all the year round, it is difficult for human beings to set foot on it, because it is said to be a forbidden continent; the central magic continent is the place where demons and monsters gather, because it is called the demon continent. Of the five continents, only Haozhou and Mozhou have a narrow strip of land that communicates, and the rest are not connected.

Haozhou is now a unified country - the Southern Hao Empire, and Foye Town is a village and town under Wenyang County, Jiangzuo County, southeast of it.

"Xuankun Tuzhi" is indeed a strange book, but there is no record of that strange stone on it.

Late at night, Baili Zixuan held the scroll in his hand, and fell asleep unconsciously, without taking off his clothes, and the little cat helplessly bit the quilt and pulled a little bit to cover him.

Baili Zixuan had probably just slept for two quarters of an hour. Suddenly, a white dot flew to his bed out of nowhere, and quickly grew in size, until it turned into a circular white air mass with a diameter of about one meter, and the air mass rotated counterclockwise around its center into a cyclone.

It's all in the lightning, and before Xiao Qi can meow, the owner has been taken away by strange things, and only the lagging and rapid cry of the kitten is left in the room......
