"There are some things I have to explain, this realm can't be walked around, especially at this juncture, you two go home with me obediently, stay at home well, and when this time has passed, I will take you to meet the king, and then you should be able to go back to your world."

The white-bearded old man walked in front with his hands behind his back, and while the thief Lan Zeyun and the two led the way, he carefully advised.

Lan Zeyun looked around along the way, only to see that this huge city really couldn't even see a living person, it was very quiet, and then asked tentatively: "Grandpa, why is this town gloomy, not a single figure can be seen, is this land uninhabited?" ”

The old man looked back at the two people behind him and said, "Of course there are people living there, but recently everyone has been burning incense and fasting at home, and concentrating on the valley, so the street is so quiet." ”

"Bigu? I said, why can't you see a single smoke? But the custom here! ”

When the old man heard this, he said, "Customs... Not really, but recently the saint has descended from the top of the god to the snow country to bring blessings to this land, and the people are pious, burning incense and fasting for many years to show their respect and support for the saint. ”

Speaking of this, the old man turned his head again, looked at the two of them and admonished: "So, you two must keep to yourself, don't run around at this time, do anything indecent, and anger the gods, otherwise even if the king of heaven comes, he won't be able to save you!" ”

Lan Zeyun and Bai listened to it, and they all responded obediently with a smile on their faces. Now the form is much better than they imagined, and it coincides with the day when the Holy Maiden descends on the snow country, which saves them from bothering to find it!

The white-bearded old man led the two of them from the street into a remote alley, Lan Zeyun turned his head to look at the main street, and couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, it stands to reason that the residents living on both sides of the city gate are closest to the city gate, and they will definitely hear the knock one step ahead. ”

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In this place, everyone has their own things to do, and they have performed their duties for thousands of years, and they have never changed. No one can get something for nothing, and others will not interfere with your duties, I am in charge of the city gates, let alone live here, even if I am a hundred miles away, as long as the city gate sounds, I can hear it. ”

Lan Zeyun nodded, and asked again, "Ten thousand years?" Grandpa, you don't... Posterity? ”

"Future generations? I'm so strong, what children and grandchildren do I need? In the Snow Country, all people have a life span equal to the heavens, and perhaps children and grandchildren are the price of longevity, unless someone is in a different body and suffers from an incurable disease, the king will ask the Holy Maiden to give him a baby in his place, and everyone else is alone. ”

As he was talking, the old man paused and opened the innermost gate of the deep alley, the heavy gate was pushed open, Lan Zeyun looked inside, and saw that the courtyard scenery was chic, beautiful, the houses were scattered and uneven, surrounded by covered bridges, and rockeries and flowing water, the design was exquisite, the carving was chic, like a large family.

The old man stood at the covered bridge and paused for a moment, and then led the two around the rockery and towards an idle house.

"You are brother and sister. But those people outside seem to be very particular about what is different between men and women, this courtyard has three houses, two guest rooms, a kitchen, but recently this kitchen is afraid that it can't be used, the whole city is a valley, there is no trace of cooking smoke, don't cause me any trouble, you don't have a saying there is a saying that follow the local customs, it is better to live for a few days, but also open the valley, lightly body, may also help you with this disease! ”

Bai listened to it, coughed, looked at the short old man opposite, and said loudly: "Old man, do you want me to die and say it directly, what you said is so righteous and righteous, just like me, I am still in the valley, I am afraid that before any saint comes, I will starve to death first!" If you want me to say, you have to eat meat, and you have to eat meat to be good! ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yo! Scare me! Listen, listen to this voice, it's louder than any cricket, it doesn't seem to be false at all, I see you, don't say you've been hungry for a few days, even if you've been hungry for a month, there will be no problem! ”

……

Lan Zeyun saw that the two of them scolded each other like children, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Grandpa, I see that you know our territory very well, have you ever been there?" ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately stopped scolding, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Of course I haven't been there, but... A long, long time ago, I can't remember exactly when, there was also a friend who accidentally broke into the snow country, he was also from your world, he brought many new and interesting things to the snow country, I, ah, I also heard from him, I heard that your world is colorful, there are green trees, colorful flowers, all kinds of birds and animals. There are many, many other fun things, but really? ”

Lan Zeyun saw that the old man was very interested, so he nodded and replied: "Naturally it is true, the world is full of wonders, the land I am in is indeed full of life, full of colors, but the so-called harmony of yin and yang, there are pros and cons, there is its prosperity and colorfulness, and it is also dirty and evil." ”

The old man listened quietly, and couldn't help but glance at the little girl in front of him, somehow, he always felt that this girl was very cold, a pair of eyes were crystal clear, but it was also like a dead sea that would not flow, although he could speak, talk and laugh, but he could always feel a little bit of the wind, he could dip in the fragrance of flowers, he could pass through the mud, he could blow apricot blossoms, and he could roll up waves!

The old man seemed to be very interested in the place where Lan Zeyun was, and he talked with her for a long time, and then went back with great interest.

After the old man left, Lan Zeyun lay on the bed, did not sleep all night, for some reason, the closer to the opportunity of her heart, the more panicked her heart became, this feeling exceeded any place she passed all the way to the north, like a thorn somewhere, at first I didn't feel so uncomfortable, but one day I saw it show its head, and my heart felt more and more unpleasant.

Lan Zeyun didn't close her eyes on the bed, lay down all night, and went out early the next day, it is true that the more she can't relax at this time, she needs to discuss it with Bai Cong.

It's just that she walked to the white middle gate, but her footsteps stopped. Lan Zeyun looked fixedly at a bamboo basket wrapped in white cloth at the door of Bai Zhong, and then lowered his body and lifted the white cloth, only to see that there were many crisp and tender melons and fruits inside, smelling a sweet smell from afar, and there was still half of the oil paper on the side, Lan Zeyun gently picked it up, put it to his mouth and smelled it, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

No matter where Bai Zhongzhong is, he is the master who can't get up when the sun is not on the head. Lan Zeyun stood at the door and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no sound, and after thinking for a while, he pushed the door directly and entered.

I saw Bai in the middle of the big eight, lying on the bed without moving, without the slightest interference. She really admires Bai Zhongzhong's free and easy strength, looking at the loose scoundrel, in fact, she is more transparent and clever than anyone else. It seems that the big mountain will not be affected in any way if the mountain collapses in front of him, Lan Zeyun is really curious, for whom will such a person go back and forth in the North Underworld countless times, just to find a snow country saint without the slightest trace!

Lan Zeyun didn't call him, he sat on the table by himself, opened the oil paper bag, and took out a crisp and delicious pear from the basket and gnawed it.

Bai was sleeping in the middle of the fragrance, and suddenly smelled a smell of sauce and meat in his nose for a long time, he swallowed his saliva, turned it over, and felt as uncomfortable as being caught by a cat, and couldn't sleep. Finally, he jerked out of bed.

When I saw the oily sauce meat hanging on the table outside, it was like a hungry tiger pounceing on food, and with a "whoosh" sound, I quickly ran over, grabbed the meat on the table and nibbled on it several times, before saying: "I... I thought I was dreaming, it smelled so good! My darling, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and I miss me! Promise me that when you go out, don't leave me! ”

Lan Zeyun looked at Bai Zhong's gobbling appearance, shook his head, and suddenly asked: "Now that we have arrived in the snow country, and it coincides with the arrival of the Holy Maiden, we should also prepare well in case of unpreparedness." ”

Bai Zhong seemed to be choked by the sauce meat, and quickly patted his chest, and then went to the cup of clear water, and then said: "What are you afraid of, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that you can't dodge, no matter how much you hide or can't hide from what should happen, Miss Zeyun, you listen to me, put your heart in your stomach, wait obediently, wait until the saint comes, let's go to find her, fate and chance...... What should be yours is yours, and you can't run away! ”

Lan Zeyun looked at Bai Zhongzhong's relaxed face, without the slightest hint of worry, and he was not annoyed in his heart, the cloud of sorrow that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time last night had inexplicably dissipated. It's amazing.

"Immortality, eternal with the sky? It seems that they have been living here for 10,000 years, and they don't know if the catastrophe of heaven and earth 10,000 years ago had any impact on them. ”

Bai ate some from it, heard Lan Zeyun's words, raised his head and asked, "Who is Ximu Zangsuo?" Your friend? ”

Lan Zeyun shook his head, looked at the sauce meat in Bai Zhongzhong's hand, and said, "It's the old man, the one who gave you meat to eat regardless of his previous suspicions!" ”

Bai listened to it, paused twice, and then said: "It's him, it seems that this old man is also a master with a knife mouth and a tofu heart!" ”
