One by one, the small flowers fell down, white, flawless, some fell on the trees, some fell on the ground, and spread a thick layer. Gently step on it, soft, and if you are not careful, you will sink deeply, leaving a clear footprint. When the wind blew, it rolled up a rain of flowers and covered the footprints.

Walking in the wind and snow, Zhang Yue tightened his clothes and couldn't help but stop and watch, this was the first time he had seen snow.

The branches, intertwined, weaved into a net, the light falling from the sky like fish, jumping mischievously, some caught in the net, some passed through the net, and landed on the snowflake-paved stall.

Zhang Yue lightly touched her toes, jumped on the branch, and a thick snowflake pressed on the branch, condensed together, and fell down, but stopped the momentum in mid-air, and at first glance it looked like an irregular crampon.

Zhang Yuezheng was looking at it vigorously, and a cold suddenly smashed on his head, seeping into his clothes, and making him shiver all over. Zhang Yue hurriedly shook off the snowflakes on her head, and looked up at Yan Xi, who was laughing, "Is it fun?" ”

"Not bad, are you going to fight?" Yan Xi shook the snowball that had just been pinched in his hand, full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Yue spread his hands and was about to leave, but the fist-sized snowball had already flown towards him. The sharp sound of breaking wind resounded in his ears, and Zhang Yue tilted his head slightly, letting the snowball fly by, blowing a cold wind.

"Humph! Don't want to escape! ”

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, in mid-air, a one-sided gun battle was staged. With his soul power, Zhang Yue hid easily, but in his heart he hoped to stop this farce so that he could enjoy the scenery on the way to the mountain.

Below, Kagashi and his party walked gracefully, without the slightest appearance of hurrying, although there were only ten minutes left before the opening ceremony began, they were still wandering halfway up the mountain.

Zhang Yue dodged a snowball flying towards her crotch, and was speechless in her heart, and quickly changed the topic, "Are we going to be late?" ”

Yan Xi also seemed to be tired of playing, threw away the snowball in his hand and landed on the ground, "What's this, the strongest Yin and Yang Division in the whole alliance has a lot of privileges." ”

Zhang Yue also fell, walking next to Yan Xi, thinking that he could finally be quiet, so he withdrew his soul power, but the next moment Yan Xi's snowball was stuffed into his shirt, and the thorough coldness made Zhang Yue can't help but scream.

"Hahahaha, you still dare to walk next to me, who gave you the courage." Yan Xi patted Zhang Yue's back vigorously, so that the snowball thrown in it fit his body better, allowing the cold to penetrate deeper.

"When will this pair of living treasures be completed?"

"I don't think it's going to happen, do I?"

“……”

The crowd followed behind the two of them, whispering, and everything was so peaceful. On this snowy land, they faintly left a brush on the canvas.

……

On the top of the mountain, a huge island is suspended, and a stone bridge extends down from the sea of clouds and falls on the top of the mountain. On the island, towering buildings dot the land like stars, and the surging flow of people walks on the streets, and the roads shuttle back and forth, like a large net covering the entire island.

If urban builders were to see such an arrangement, they would be disdainful. Because, the whole city looks like a ball of thread scratched by a cat, what a mess. But in the eyes of the aliens, every road, every building, is a node of energy flow, seemingly chaotic, but there is a common goal, that is, the bronze ancient tower that stands at the highest point.

On weekdays, Guta is a lonely old man, lonely in this pure land, enjoying the quiet, he is dark blue, every inch of his skin is engraved with the traces of time, and it cannot be peeled off for thousands of years. But today, the purity was broken, and a dense crowd of people swarmed in and knelt down in front of the old man, and everyone was pious and did not dare to come out.

An old man in a black Tang costume knelt at the front of the crowd on crutches, his old face was wrinkled, his two small eyes lingered in the drooping flesh, showing a few glimmers from time to time, and only a few hairs remained on his bare head. Like Naguta, he lives in the years and is beyond time.

I don't know how long later, the old man said in a hoarse voice and asked, "Are you coming?" ”

"Not yet." Behind the old man, a middle-aged man moved forward and whispered.

The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "It's like this every year, Xiaoxi, this girl, can't care!" With that, the old man stood up with his crutches and waved his hand to signal everyone to get up.

The middle-aged man frowned, hesitated a little, and asked, "Don't wait for them?" It's not in order. ”

The old man waved his hand again, "Last year, Xiao Xi told me that I didn't have to wait for them, and I won't wait anymore." It's just a rule, just leave it alone. ”

"This ...... Teacher, you ......"

"That's what your baby daughter said. I'm very useful. The old man did not let the middle-aged man continue, but stepped forward to help him up, and only then did everyone get up one after another.

The old man cleared his throat and said, "The ancestor worship ceremony is here, the opening ceremony is over, everyone will disperse, the competition will start tomorrow, everyone get ready." ”

The words fell, and the originally overcrowded square was instantly empty. The old man was relieved to see this vast and somewhat desolate landscape, he raised his dry hands and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "It's so complicated every year, my old bones can't bear it." ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward to support the old man, and said respectfully: "These are all rules, there is no way to ...... it."

"Rules? I just broke one! ”

"Uh...... That's because ......"

"Okay, okay, in the future, everything at the opening ceremony will be simple, just a fight, there is no need to fix so many voids, this cangta is not a tombstone, I can't help but worship you every year." The old man said angrily, and that tone did not match his old face in the slightest.

The middle-aged man had no choice but to bend over and nod vigorously, not daring to refute in the slightest, although his two sword eyebrows had never stretched, but the iron pimple on his brow was getting bigger and bigger.

The old man stopped, looked at the disgusting face of the middle-aged man, raised his cane and knocked it mercilessly, "You, you're stupid!" ”

The man didn't dare to say much after eating a cane, so he could only stand still, with his head down, looking like he was begging to be beaten. The old man raised his crutches and lowered them again, scolding: "Fool! ”

"Good scolding!"

Laughter came from afar. The two of them followed the prestige, and saw a young girl leading six people to walk towards them gracefully. Seeing the girl at the head, the man's originally easy-going face gradually became cold, and the big copper bell-like eyes under the sword eyebrows swallowed anger.

"Nonsense! You're embarrassed to walk me, run for me! The man pointed at the girl and cursed angrily.

The girl is Yan Xi, she took the members of the mirror division to travel all the way, and finally arrived, but she just missed the opening ceremony. Seeing this empty square, everyone snickered in their hearts.

No one wanted to attend the same opening ceremony every year, which was not only stinky and long, but also meaningless, just a mechanical repetition of the so-called rules handed down from the previous generation.

Yan Xili ignored the man's words and walked straight to the old man, "Old monster, I'm back, what about the snow dumplings that I said?" ”

The old man held Yan Xi's hand, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, revealing a rare smile, he took out a small bag from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Dare you come back, it's not for the competition, it's for begging?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, if you don't eat enough, where will you have the strength to fight!" Yan Xi was not polite at all, took the bag and hurriedly opened it, and several white and chubby snow cakes were next to each other, exuding an attractive sweet fragrance.

The middle-aged man stood aside and wanted to interject a few words, but found that he didn't know how to speak at all, so he had to turn his gaze to the others in the mirror division.

Everyone smiled and nodded to the old acquaintance, even if it was a greeting, and then quickly looked away and chose to ignore it.

For a while, the middle-aged man was embarrassed, so he had to shrink aside and sulk.

Zhang Yue whispered in Lao Hei's ear and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Lao Hei pursed his lips and said: "That guy with a deep face of hatred and bitterness is Xiao Xi's father, and he is also the current leader of the Spirit Dao Alliance, Yan Zhengqing, he has a black face all day long, and he is very fierce, don't provoke him if you have nothing to do." In front of Xiaoxi, don't mention this person, their father-daughter relationship doesn't seem to be very good. ”

Zhang Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about the old man?" ”

"That's amazing, the guy who has lived the longest in the entire Spirit Dao Alliance is Yan Zhengqing's teacher, called Ling Daozi. It's been a long time since anyone has seen him do it, but it should be strong. Everyone is afraid of him, including us, of course Yan Xi is a wonder, she dares to call the old monster, don't learn it! Old Black instructed.

Zhang Yue was sorting out the information on this side, but on the other side, Yan Xi stepped forward and pulled him away. Zhang Yue was confused, came to Lingdaozi, looked at the old man up close, Zhang Yue could feel the ancient aura emanating from Lingdaozi's body, and faintly, he also smelled the smell of death.

Ling Daozi looked Zhang Yue up and down, and nodded with interest, "Not bad, yes, you're a good seedling, but I don't like your expression." You're still young, you should be lively, don't be lifeless like me. Your eyes should be able to see it, my lifespan. ”

Zhang Yue was silent, not knowing how to answer the question.

"It's okay, to tell you the truth, I can trust the black and white pupils of pure soul cultivation. Just help me take a look at the old man! Ling Daozi said.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yue said the answer in her heart, "It's just a year, and the ancestor may have to ......."

"A year? Hahaha, enough is enough. You kid is very upright, this is not good, people should be smooth, like Xiaoxi, this girl, she will definitely say that I am an old monster, I can't die, how can I live. Ling Daozi smiled self-deprecatingly, he turned his head, looked up at the cangta, and was silent.

Yan Xi grabbed Zhang Yue's ears, "What nonsense?" ”

"Facts."
