I looked underfoot, but I didn't see the land. It turned out that we were still in the air, just running forward in a tunnel in the clouds.

I don't know how long it took for us to finally get out of the clouds and out of the snow line. Looking at Shen Gongbao and Princess Longji, their bodies and faces were covered with ice ballast, like two white-bearded old men.

Having just come out of the extreme cold, I suddenly felt like I couldn't get hot, even though the actual temperature around me was still very low.

I took off my robe. Over there, Long Ji also took off his winter clothes outside. As for Shen Gongbao, he seems to be like this everywhere, and he doesn't care about hot or cold at all.

Shen Gongbao turned to me and said, "It's not so cold now, you can sit in front!" I'm in front of you, and you can't see anything. After saying that, he couldn't help but carry me to him.

As we walked on, a strange landscape gradually appeared in front of us. On either side of a meandering stream, the ground is dotted with lakes of different sizes and colors. The sky is also covered with white clouds, like pairing with the lake below. If you look closely, there is actually a trace of water vapor rising from the lake into the sky.

"Sister," I asked, "where is this?" ”

"Little sister, this is the source of the Yellow River, the sea of stars." Long Ji replied.

I looked around, "Sister, what about your retinue?" ”

She pointed into the distance, "They are on the other side of the Sea of Stars, near the place of Chaling Sea." The Sea of Stars is huge! ”

We walked between large and small lakes. I looked up at the clouds above the lake that were formed by the accumulation of water vapor. "Sister, are these clouds made by evaporating from these lakes?"

"You're saying the opposite." Longi replied, "The vast majority of the lake is descending from the clouds. That is the water of the heavenly river. ”

"Is there a river in the sky?" I still have the concept of my previous life in my mind, isn't the so-called Tianhe an image formed by the gathering of many stars?

"Of course there is!" Long Ji asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, where would the water on the earth come from?" ”

As I walked, I saw a pond that was no more than a hundred feet round. The water in the pond looks shallow and the bottom is clearly visible. Long Ji dismounted and walked to the edge of the pool.

"Princess, be careful!" Shen Gongbao shouted, "People say that the stars are swampy and swampy. You'll get stuck in it if you're not careful. ”

Long Ji smiled: "Senior brother is too worried. Long Ji often plays here and has his own measure. She reached out and lifted the water, "The water is still warm!" ”

My heart itched, and I also got a white-fronted tiger. I walked to the edge of the pool and put my hand into the water, and sure enough, it was warm.

"I'm going down for a walk." As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the pool and took off his trousers and boots under his short skirt. Then Bareleg walked into the pool, "Nezha, are you coming too!" ”

Of course I want to go down too. But I don't have a dress!

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao led the tiger to the side. "Princess, Nezha's safety is in your hands." After he finished speaking, he began to meditate with his eyes closed with his back to us.

No one is watching it now. So I took off my boots and a few layers of trousers, and wore only briefs on my lower body, and went down to the pool. Follow Ryuji hand in hand until he approaches the center of the pool.

"Don't go any further," said Longji, "there's a hole at the bottom of the pool ahead." ”

Sure enough, not far ahead, in the middle of the pool, there was a huge circular hole, bottomless.

"Where does this lead?" I asked.

"The Yellow River!" Long Ji replied, "Actually, there is a dragon palace down here. If you have the dragon's water avoidance magic weapon in your hand, you can swim all the way to the dragon palace from here. ”

"Have you been there, sister?"

"I've been there!" She said, "But when I came out of Yaochi, I didn't have the magic weapon of the dragon clan on my body, so I never went down again." ”

After all, it's winter on the plateau. As soon as I came out of the water, I felt a sharp chill in my legs. I hurriedly put on my trousers and boots. But Longji didn't care much, and didn't put on his trousers anymore, just put on leopard print boots. Bare-legged and mounted a Pegasus.

We walked around the sea of stars until dusk when we reached the shore of Chaling Sea and rounded up with Longji's retinue.

Long Ji feasted me and Shen Gongbao in her big tent. That night I stayed in the Longji tent. I had expected her to tell me the story of her and the Spirit Bead, but she didn't tell me anything. I don't want to ask more.

Early the next morning, Shen Gongbao and I bid farewell to Longji and stepped onto the white-fronted tiger to continue eastward. Along the way, the mountains are steep. White-fronted tigers mostly fly in the air, and only occasionally take a break at the top of the mountain.

I asked Shen Gongbao: "Uncle Shi, why did you choose the tiger as a spirit animal?" ”

"Bluffing!" Shen Gongbao said with a smile, "This white-fronted tiger is tall and fierce on the outside, but in fact, the grade is not very high, and it is relatively easy to control." Your uncle and I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years. Staying overnight in the mountains and forests, there is such a spirit beast, and the beasts dare not get close. In the event of robbers, they can also be intimidated. Naturally, there will be a lot less trouble. ”

"When you went to Kunlun, you came with Jiang Shang, right?" He asked.

"yes!"

"Have you seen his spirit beast?" He asked again.

"Nope!" I replied.

Shen Gongbao said: "Your uncle Ziya has long taken a fancy to a spirit pet raised by the master in the backyard called Siwei. Shizun neither promised him, nor did he say no. As a result, he doesn't have his own spirit beast now. Every time he went to Kunlun Mountain, he had to ask Shizun to send someone or send a shuttle to pick him up. ”

"Uncle Jiang," I asked, "are you saying that the shuttle is specifically for picking up Uncle Jiang?" ”

"Or what do you think? All of you are stained with his light! That four is not like a high-grade spirit beast. However, I don't think even if the dean agrees to give him the four dissimilarities, he may not be able to fully control it. ”

It's strange, why did the topic suddenly turn to Jiang Ziya?

"Uncle Shen," I boldly asked, "do you particularly despise Uncle Jiang?" ”

"I don't like him?" Shen Gongbao asked rhetorically, "How dare I?" It's because he doesn't like me, right? ”

"Our two families in Shenlu are originally one family, and they have lived next to each other for generations. However, they, the Lu family, have never looked down on our Shen family. I think when my sister married him, I was also a guest. At that time, he ignored me. Even if I don't count as the patriarch, just because we are brothers in the same family, he shouldn't be like this. ”

"Jiang Shang's branch moved to the East China Sea a few generations ago. He returned to Dayi Shang alone, and won the favor of my uncle with a three-inch incorruptible tongue. How can I not know what his family is, as his fellow disciples? It's hard to say. ”

Oh! It turns out that they still have this layer of festivals.

Walking in the air, he suddenly saw a pair of men and horses galloping north in the mountains below. These people are dressed in strange costumes, and their flags have emblems that resemble wolf heads.

"Who is this?" I asked.

"Inujun." Shen Gongbao replied, "The wolf is their totem. Looking at their posture, they are going to make a date! He then turned his head, "Let's go see the excitement." ”

A short distance on, we saw two sides fighting in a valley. In the midst of the scuffle, many horses and horses had already fallen to the ground. Interestingly, the totemic symbol on the flag of the other side fighting the wolf-headed clan is clearly a sheep.

"That's the Qiang." Shen Gongbao said. He steered the white-fronted tiger to the top of a hill and looked down on the battlefield below with me.

However, it seems that the wolves did not take advantage of this war between the wolves and the sheep. Soon, the dog Rong was defeated by the Qiang people, who were more numerous, and retreated.

"None of them are easy to mess with." Shen Gongbao said, "It's enough for the second son of Xiqi." ”

"Did you say Ji Fa Gongzi?" I asked.

"Yes!" He replied, "I don't think he has his father's two hits." I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with these Qiang people and dogs. ”

We didn't read any further. The white-fronted tiger took to the air and continued to fly eastward.

"Uncle Shi," I remembered a saying I had heard in my previous life, so I asked Shen Gongbao, "I heard that the surname Jiang is of the same origin as the Qiang people. Is there such a thing? ”

"What's the matter?" He said, "Who made this nonsense?" After thinking that my surname Jiang was Shennong, he had lived in the Central Plains for thousands of years, and his descendants were all over China, and he was also a prominent family in the court. How can it be the same as the Qiang people? ”

Originally, I only wanted to confirm the credibility of this later account, but I did not expect such a big reaction from him. Forget it, I can't be so reckless in the future.

As the sun set, we finally saw the castle of Xiqi located on a small plain. But Shen Gongbao was clearly reluctant to stay overnight in the cramped city of Xiqi. "Hold on a little longer, let's spend the night in Chongcheng."

At night, we finally flew to Chongcheng, which is high and deep. The gates were closed by this time. Shen Gongbao and I flew directly into the city and rode the tiger swaggering down the road, frightening passers-by to dodge.

Before coming to the pavilion, Shen Gongbao received the spirit beast, and then said to me: "You will call me Uncle Shen in a while, and I will call you Miss." ”

I didn't know what he meant, so I casually agreed to him.

Entering the lobby of the pavilion, Shen Gongbao asked for two upper rooms. Walking up the stairs, I was confronted by two acquaintances, Fei Yan and Lu Ding.

I wanted to say hello, but when I saw that they just glanced at my face, I avoided them. It seems that he doesn't want to recognize me. If you think about it, you will hold back.
