Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Important Guest
After passing the ancient stone stele, Su Yanxue followed the old man and walked a little more inside, taking the stone stele as the boundary of the path, those densely growing plants seemed to consciously make a path out of the place where they walked, on this path, no matter how lush the plants next to it were, but this path was clean, as if it was artificially opened.
But the pavement of this section of the trail was paved with green grass and wet soil, and the sunlight spread from among the leaves, and he wanted to sneak into this path quietly, but he was blocked by the big tree, although the main trunk of the ancient tree stood by the road in a regular manner, his branches were slightly bent on the top of the old man and Su Yanxue's heads, covering the sunlight that wanted to penetrate in.
Therefore, no matter how hot the sun in the sky is, Su Yanxue not only does not feel tired all the way, but also feels cool, the wind in the forest is very gentle, passing by Su Yanxue's side lightly, without a trace of disturbance.
"Here we are, this is Stardust Valley."
The old man was in front of him, he squinted his eyes, and led Su Yanxue into a quiet village.
In the village, it was surprisingly quiet, and just when Su Yanxue felt strange, suddenly a child's voice broke into her ears
"Grandpa, why did you bring a stranger back to the village?"
Su Yanxue looked down and saw a girl with a ball head that looked like a child of about five or six years old was looking at her curiously with big round eyes.
The old man stroked his beard unhurriedly and bent down
"Ting'er, go and call everyone out and tell them that we have an important guest in Stardust Valley today."
"Okay, grandpa."
The girl nodded obediently, turned and ran away.
"Frost Snow Girl, now let me tell you about this Stardust Valley, old man."
"Okay."
"The existence of this Stardust Valley originally existed to protect the world of stars from the beginning, and the shape of this continent is like a star, so the place that our Stardust Valley occupies is also shaped like a star from the sky."
"And each corner of this star also corresponds to every plate of the continent, except for the royal city, our Stardust Valley is the closest place to the center of the continent, but our Stardust Valley does not exist on the ground of the continent, but exists on the vast void, so in a sense, this is no longer the Valley of the Desert Night."
Speaking of this, the old man's expression suddenly became serious, he looked at Su Yanxue and continued
"For so many years, we have been waiting for your return, and although the Snow Maiden still can't understand our existence, I believe that in my lifetime, old man, I will be able to see you wake up again."
"Wait, who the hell are you waiting for?"
Su Yanxue interrupted the old man's words in confusion, what is the return? Didn't she travel from another world? She seems to belong to this world.
The old man glanced at Su Yanxue deeply
"Looks like you don't remember anything."
“……”
Did she ever have amnesia? It's impossible, she remembers her memories clearly from childhood to adulthood, but why did the old man in front of her say that she didn't remember anything?
"That's it, please come with me."
When the old man saw Su Yanxue looking like she was meditating, he knew that Su Yanxue now had no memory of the godhead, and it was also true, after all, it would be a strange thing if she remembered it.
And at this time, the old man finally noticed the black butterfly on Su Yanxue's shoulder, this is the spirit butterfly? Could it be ......
This time, the old man was a little puzzled, since the spirit butterfly appeared, it means that the power on Su Yanxue's body should have been partially awakened, otherwise how could the spirit butterfly appear? But just along the way, the old man didn't notice that there was half a special power fluctuation on Su Yanxue's body, and why was this spirit butterfly black? Although it is a black spirit butterfly, but after only one glance, the familiar feeling can no longer be familiar, this, what is going on?
"Old man Rong, let me ask more, can the frost girl know this butterfly?"
Su Yanxue glanced sideways slightly, and saw the black butterfly with slightly fluttering wings, speaking of which, this butterfly is like knowing her, from the time she just fell into the abyss to this way, has been staying on her all the way, could it be that the appearance of this butterfly is not accidental?
Su Yanxue shook her head calmly, her eyes were pitch black, as if she had fallen into a bottomless pool.
"I don't know, but this butterfly seems to be close to me."
"Have you ever heard of a spirit butterfly?"
The old man seemed to have expected Su Yanxue's answer, and continued without surprise.
"Spirit butterflies?"
But Su Yanxue still shook her head, she didn't even know why she came to this world, how could she know what spirit butterflies were? You know, in the world she once lived, there were so many strange things.
"Then please listen to me."
Regarding Su Yanxue's reaction, the old man first shook his head helplessly, and then said patiently.
At this time, some people in the village had already come out one after another, without exception, when they saw Su Yanxue standing beside the old man, they all showed very alert and curious eyes, and a young man squatted down, beside him, was the little girl who had just been sent to pass the word
"Ah Ting, is that young girl the important guest that your elder grandfather said?"
"Yes, that's what Grandpa said."
The girl nodded, and then quickly ran away, before anyone arrived, she had to go and inform the other elders and grandfathers.
The villagers looked Su Yanxue up and down with a curious gaze, but none of them stepped forward to say anything and interrupt their conversation.
And the old man was just about to talk to Su Yanxue about the spirit butterfly, when he noticed the movement in the village, so he said
"If the Frost Snow Girl doesn't dislike it, please stay here for a few days and listen to me speak slowly."
"How many days?"
Su Yanxue was a little hesitant, she and Mu You were separated by turbulence when they entered the secret realm, now Mu You must be very worried about her safety, but she is also very curious about why she was summoned here, if she stays for a few days, will this time be delayed for too long, besides, she also promised Mu You to accompany her to find treasures.
As if he saw Su Yanxue's embarrassment, the old man smiled slightly
"Frost Snow Girl, don't worry, the time here is different from the outside world, and a few days can't be delayed for too long."
Hearing the old man say this, Su Yanxue immediately dispelled her worries just now, in this case, why didn't she stay in Stardust Valley to figure out what happened to her, after all, even if she had to leave, she didn't know how to get out of here, let alone where Mu You and the others were.
"Grandpa, everyone is here, and the other elders and grandfathers are also on their way over."
"Okay, Ting'er is so good."
The old man bent down and touched the girl's face dotingly, then got up and said
"Then, Snow Girl, meet me with the children here."
“……”
After speaking, the old man coughed dryly, touched the white beard, and the girl stood next to him with the old man's clothes, staring at Su Yanxue motionless with a pair of clear eyes.
Su Yanxue didn't care about the girl's gaze, she followed the old man's gaze and also looked at the group of villagers, although this is a village, but if you look closely, the village here is not the same as Su Yanxue imagined.
Those houses were not so much houses as tall trees, the tree houses here were of different heights, and huge trees rose from the ground one by one, blocking the sky above Su Yanxue's head, and the vines extending from the tree houses meandered all the way up, and I don't know where the end was.
At this time, the girl suddenly shook her head, a pair of pointed ears, came out of her hair, she pursed her mouth, her hands tightly grasped the old man's robe, her eyes were full of innocence and a little nervousness, it seemed that she was very unaccustomed to Su Yanxue's eyes that fell on her inadvertently, she first tilted her head and looked at herself quietly for a while, then looked up at the old man, and finally she stared closely at the villagers whose eyes were focused, as if she wanted to find out what was going on.
"This is the Snow Girl."
The old man raised his hand and introduced.
Su Yanxue stood still, without saying a word, her cold eyes skimmed over everyone, only to see that some of the villagers who looked like teenagers also seemed to have the same pointed ears as girls, and the people here except for children, without exception, were wearing the same white wide robes as the old people, so that people could not see their specific figures.
Those people stood there very quietly, and at this time, several other elders finally came over, when they saw Su Yanxue standing quietly next to the old man, they all looked at each other, showing extremely surprised expressions, and when they noticed the black butterfly that was quietly staying on Su Yanxue's shoulder, the surprise in their eyes was even worse, and even with a little excitement and relief that Su Yanxue couldn't understand.
The butterfly moved, it quietly flew to Su Yanxue's raised fingertips, and then disappeared.
"It's you back, you're exactly the same as you were back then!"
An elder stepped forward and came to Su Yanxue, and said excitedly, his eyes were filled with tears, and under Su Yanxue's surprised gaze, the elder grabbed the old man
"How did you find her? She's the adult, isn't she? ”
But the old man shook his head with some regret
"Although she is back, she can't remember anything now."
"It's okay, she'll remember, this was once her home."
The elder said, turning his head to look at Su Yanxue with a calm face, and he couldn't help but hold Su Yanxue's hands
"Do you really not remember anything?"
Su Yanxue shook her head, at this moment, she shouldn't know if she remembered it, or if she didn't have the memory of her in their mouths at all.
"God, you are indeed immortal, although you have been reincarnated, we have always believed that when you return again, the world of stars will definitely return."
“……”
Su Yanxue wanted to withdraw her hands, she was a little unaccustomed to the old man in front of her looking so excited, and the old man also noticed this, he patted the elder on the shoulder
"Ahem, old fellow, don't scare the Snow Girl, she doesn't remember anything now."
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Frost Girl, I don't remember it's okay, we'll make it clear to you one by one."
The elder hurriedly let go of Su Yanxue's hands and said apologetically.
"It's okay, I only came to this man because of a mysterious calling."
Su Yanxue opened her mouth, and she looked at the old man
"That being the case, the little woman has been bothering here for a while."
"Okay, since Miss Frost and Snow has made a decision, then I'll arrange it for the old man."
The old man said as he said to the elder just now
"Let her live there."
"Okay."
The elder answered and hurried away.
"Well, then, these are the people of my Stardust Valley."
The old man waved his hand.
A teenager took the initiative to stand up, stepped forward, and clasped his hands into fists
"In Shen Shen Xiu, I have seen the Frost Snow Girl."
Su Yanxue returned the salute with a fist
"Shen Xiu Gongzi is polite."
"Shen Xiu, you take Miss Frost Snow around the village first, I have something to leave now, remember to bring her to the Elders' House later, I and a few other elders have something important to say to Miss Frost Snow when they arrive."
"Yes, master."
Shen Xiu bowed and replied, then stepped aside, got up, came to Su Yanxue, and raised his hand
"Snow Girl, please follow me around the village first."
"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble of Shen Xiu Gongzi."
Su Yanxue nodded and agreed.
At this time, the girl who had been holding the old man's robe broke away from the old man and walked over, she grabbed Su Yanxue's dress, raised her eyes as clear as a lake, and opened her mouth softly, her voice was soft and glutinous
"Sister, can Ah Ting come with you?"
