Chapter Forty-Nine: Kneel in Peace

headache

It's such a headache.

"Dao Chief, I can't explain this matter in a sentence or two, wait for me to sleep, and we'll talk about it in detail tomorrow."

“......”

Upset

top-heavy,

Zhao Ming suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness struggling on the verge of sudden death.

As soon as he entered, he collapsed on the bed, his mind spinning and his consciousness blurred.

......

cold

It's cold!

Zhao Ming subconsciously rubbed his arms, the skin covered by his palms was cold to the bone, and the heat generated by the friction was far from enough to keep out the cold, but he still didn't want to wake up, so he had no choice but to close his eyes and grope around, habitually looking for blankets.

Everywhere your fingers passed, there was a biting coldness, as if you were sticking into a smoothie.

This is...

Zhao Ming suddenly opened his eyes, immediately got up, and vigilantly patrolled around.

However, as far as the eye can see, it is all white, the sky and clouds and mountains and rivers are integrated, the fog is thick, and the people and birds are extinct.

Dreamland!

Zhao Ming's heart sank, and he suddenly understood that someone was playing tricks with them in the back!

The cold wind was raging, and patches of snow were scattered everywhere against Xuan'er, and fist-sized snow balls flew over and swung over, as if ready to give him a fatal blow at any moment.

There was a sound of cracking ice under his feet, which was brittle and resounded through the vast world.

Zhao Ming looked down and found himself standing in a small boat. The boat collided with the ice, rippling and rippling. The snow cleared, revealing a large expanse of water, and in the distance, traces of the causeway could still be seen.

Looking around, ice flowers filled the sky.

If it weren't for being in the unknown, Zhao Ming would definitely sigh, what a big lake!

But now,

He couldn't sigh.

Especially when the situation is getting worse and worse, and the two slender snowmen dancing in the wind are still approaching, Zhao Ming has no leisure and leisure.

"Blazing fire!"

The fireworks rose into the wind and spread into a sea of fire, engulfing the two snowmen in an instant!

Seeing the snowman shrink and dissolve, Zhao Mingcai breathed a sigh of relief.

Water and fire are incompatible, and the fire is dry and dry, just to restrain the snowman whose attribute is water.

"Come out and see, don't hide."

Zhao Ming shouted at the lake, waited for a long time, and did not respond.

Well?

Is there no one?

Zhao Ming frowned, could it be that this illusion was specially designed for himself, intended to trap himself?

At this time, two snowmen appeared on both sides of the boat, twisting their waists and flying over, not to mention, it really had a flavor.

But Zhao Ming was not a person who pities the fragrance and cherished the jade, and before they could twist two steps, they triggered the thunder and flames, and blasted the four snowmen into slag.

At this time, the boat stopped shaking.

The vast world fell silent in an instant.

Snow, it's falling harder.

More and more snowmen are falling from the sky and swooping like marionettes.

Zhao Ming shouted loudly and sacrificed monstrous flames.

Thousands of snow soldiers fell into the sea of fire, struggling to melt into snow.

The fire was gone, there was no snowflake on the surface of the lake, and the water was like a mirror, reflecting the endless plain white.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, quite complacent. Also, who can compare such achievements as one person kills all enemies and wins a great victory?

After that, Zhao Ming fell into another dilemma, how to get out?

Do you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming thought of the [Illusion Guide], I don't know if there is a way to break the illusion in it?

As soon as the thought moved, the trick condensed and fell into Zhao Ming's hand.

The things in the underworld are easy to store, and when they are useless, they turn into a wisp of white smoke and hide them in the body, and when they are used to summon them, they save time and effort, and they do not take up space.

With anticipation, Zhao Ming turned the first page.

Well?

When his eyes fell on it, Zhao Ming's whole person was not good.

How is it a small seal?

Hurriedly turned a few pages back,

It's still a small seal.

Jumping to the end, Zhao Ming took a deep breath, and then closed the book.

I closed my eyes, and I wanted to scold my mother for selling batches.

Specially,

No translation yet!!

"Gollum—"

The sound of water sounded, and the boat shook slightly.

Zhao Ming's face was ugly, and he followed the sound and glared at the past.

A snowman with half of his melted body shivering on the side of the boat, holding the edge of the boat with one hand and hanging from the stern of the boat with one foot, still maintaining an upward posture.

Zhao Ming squatted in front of it, his eyes inquiring, what did this thing want to do?

The snowman pulled half of his lips and smiled, shrunk his neck, and slowly climbed up, observing Zhao Ming's expression as he climbed.

Finally, it pushed forward with all its strength and rolled down the boat.

Smiling, staring at Zhao Ming, he stepped back step by step.

And then

Squatting down,

Picked up the oars that were in the boat.

One hand support,

Slowly... Stroke forward.

Zhao Ming was stunned, which one is this playing?

The snowman looked at him, gestured with half of his jaw, bowed his waist, and pointed to the center of the lake.

There, there is a faint outline of a gazebo.

This artistic conception,

Good student familiarity!

Zhao Ming remembered a classical Chinese essay in junior high school philology, and wondered, "Is it Huxin Pavilion?" ”

The snowman chick nodded as if pecking rice, half of his face was still smiling enthusiastically, but his appearance was miserable.

"Ahem..."Zhao Ming finally understood, touched his nose embarrassedly and asked, "You guys just came to pick me up?" ”

The snowman immediately smiled aggrievedly, his scorched nose twitching up and down, obviously excited.

Finally don't have to be beaten by the birds—

Woowoo woo –

"Then why don't you talk about it? I thought you were here to beat me! ”

The snowman's expression froze, and his heart was almost roaring,

We want to talk!!

Did you give us a chance???

Seeing the snowman silently turn around and paddle without saying a word, Zhao Ming felt bored.

Now that he has declared his intentions, the snowman is no longer deliberately sold.

Independent boat, admiring the water and sky, Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a big lake!" ”

Snowman: "......"

The cold wind blew, blew the water surface, and messed up his hair, Zhao Ming shivered, and said in a low voice, "It's so cold, it's so cold..."

The snowman standing on the side of the boat glanced at him, a smirk on the corner of his mouth on the back half of his mouth, and slowly slowed down his rowing speed.

Boom –

Freeze you to death!!

I want to be angry for our brothers and sisters,

Boom –

"Ahh

Zhao Ming sat in the boat with gold in his eyes, and suddenly found that the boat was not moving.

The snowman paddled back and forth, watching him cautiously, but with the two of them in circles.

"Hey?"

Zhao Ming suddenly became angry namelessly, this is a deliberate revenge!

Sample, dare to play tricks with me, see how Lao Tzu fixes you.

Facing the back of the snowman, Zhao Ming suddenly shouted,

"Blazing fire!"

"Plop!"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

The snowman is like an arrow from the string, dozens of meters away in an instant!

After a safe distance, the snowman peeks out of the water with half of its head out of the water and sneaks around to observe the situation on the boat.

Instead of seeing the imaginary fire, the snowman slowly exposed the part of his neck in order to observe the panorama.

At this time, Zhao Ming was holding a cluster of small flames, and was standing in a small boat enjoying the scenery.

"It's too cold, roast the fire, don't you do it together?"

Snowman: "......"

Zhao Ming squatted on the bow of the boat to roast the fire, he was not in the mood to enjoy the mountains and waters, so he naturally stopped pretending to be forced and seemed much quieter. The snowman sits at the stern of the boat, paddling with his hands and feet, and travels much faster.

The rest of the way, the two got along harmoniously.

When the boat docked, the snowman smiled and sank to the bottom of the lake, waiting for the next snowstorm to reappear. Zhao Ming stood in the corridor of the gazebo and waved goodbye to the blurred figure.

The two looked at each other and smiled through the water mirror, and the enmity was extinguished.

The pavilion in the center of the lake is a pavilion with a wooden structure, with a glazed tile roof and high eaves teeth, standing upright in the middle of the lake.

From a distance, Zhao Ming saw a white-haired old man kneeling in the center, wearing a thick leather coat, and there was a copper stove beside him, in which boiling hot wine.

"Coming?"

"Here we are."

"Come and sit down."

The old man sat with his back to Zhao Ming, facing the lake, and did not look back when he talked to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was holding a fire in his hand, but he was slowly getting closer, and he didn't get too close. However, his eyes fell on the felt under the old man's knees.

"What, afraid of me?"

"Anyone who wakes up and finds themselves in a fantasy will be guarded against, right?"

"Oh? Are you sure it's an illusion, not a dream? ”

The old man turned to the side and looked at him with burning eyes.

"In my dreams, I wouldn't be so cold." Zhao Ming couldn't help but sneeze, "Can you lend me that felt?" ”

"No, old cold legs, I can't stand the cold." The old man shook his head, with an expression that I wanted to borrow you but really couldn't.

Zhao Ming: "......"

"However, I can lend you a glass of wine to warm up. By the way, do you know the difference between wine and water? ”

"You know, water is pure, wine is a mixture."

When the old man heard this, the hand holding the handle of the copper stove paused slightly. After a while, he shook his head and poured out a glass of wine,

"We're not talking about one category, the more you drink the wine, the warmer it gets, and the more you drink the water, the colder it gets."

"I've heard that, but I don't agree with it."

"Oh?"

"You try it in the summer, I don't know what happens if you drink too much wine, drinking too much water will only cause urgency, and it won't cool down at all."

“......”

Sighing heavily, the old man raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said, "Forget it, I don't look like you know how to drink, so don't drink it." ”

Zhao Ming pursed his lips and said in his heart, even if it is given to me, I may not want it!

"Although you don't know anything about alcohol, you still have some talent for illusion."

"How can you tell I'm talented?"

"You can tell the difference between illusion and dream at a glance, and that's at least two streets away from that group of vulgar people." The old man stretched out two fingers and said abruptly, "I have been waiting here for hundreds of years, and I have only waited for a total of five people with unique discernment. The rest, heh, is nothing that doesn't flow. ”

"Do you mistake it for a dream and don't fall into it?"

"Of course, illusion is king, and dreams are heretical!"

The old man's face was arrogant, which made Zhao Ming want to ask him if he was a sweet party or a salty party.

However, Zhao Ming held back.

Because he has a more important question,

"What are you doing here with me?"

"Look at the snow!"

“......”

"Oh, there's one more thing, you killed a young man I was very optimistic about, and you robbed me of the introduction I gave him, I originally planned to avenge him and get back that old book, but now it seems that there is no need."

"Because I saw through the illusion?"

"Well, it means that we are destined!"

"However, what about the deliberate murder of the offspring that you are optimistic about, if no one stops it, it may kill more people. Don't you think there's something wrong with your selection criteria? ”

"Whoever accomplishes great things has blood on his hands." The old man glanced at him profoundly, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this now, you will understand later."

As for the book, I've already given it to you, kneel down. ”

“......”
