Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Day Trip
"Childe, this kid ......"
"His symptoms are extremely strange, there is no trace of external injury, but he can be so weak, but there is a strange pattern on his chest, like ......" He paused and said, "It seems like he has been hit by some kind of Gu." I can only temporarily use the pill to protect his heart to keep his essence alive. It is impossible to determine what kind of disease it is......"
"Childe, that body protection pill is extremely expensive and rare, the emperor gave it to you to protect yourself, you ......"
"When the time comes, needless to say, I have my own considerations. Let's go, it's not too early, we have to hurry. Beigong Han simply interrupted his exhortation, took the lead in striding towards the carriage.
"Yes."
Looking down from above, the outer periphery of the Shenzhou continent, which is the size of a bean, is an unknown world.
Exquisite castle, for thousands of years, covered by a thick layer of snow and ice. Snow masses as full as puffs are piled up on the tall and majestic icebergs, and sharp ice pyramids hang upside down from the eaves, and the sunlight is wrapped around the ice tips, radiating dazzling white light. Living in such an environment, people only wear long, thin single silk robes and move flexibly through the mountains.
At the top of the iceberg is the king's palace. It is a symbol of nobility, a symbol of power. And the civilians at the foot of the mountain will never be able or dare to come here. Because of the extremely low temperature here, it can turn them into a lifeless popsicle in an instant. So, they have their stable life, so why bother to ask for their own hardships and want to overthrow all this? It's not worth it at all.
On top of that, there is an ice prison on top of the iceberg - where all those who break the rules and are extremely vicious are imprisoned. The king drew up the statutes, and his subjects followed them, and those who violated them, whether high or low, were treated equally. The ice prison is divided into three levels, and the prisoners are ranked from the lowest to the highest in order of severity. The higher the crime, the more severe the punishment is imposed.
Second floor. A dark-haired woman sits cross-legged with her eyes closed. His pale lips pursed slightly, and the back end of his waist-length hair glowed with a dazzling golden light, as if he wanted to swallow the black. She was bound by a milky white circle of light, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the corners of her clothes that had been torn by herself showed the great pain she had suffered. As the aperture narrowed and the light increased, an irrepressible cry of pain overflowed from the depths of her throat, and her eyes suddenly opened: "Ah-" As if her whole body strength had been drained, she collapsed softly on the crystal ice wall behind her, her eyes were closed, and her breath was like a gossamer: "Jin'er......"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man in the mirror was born with a pair of seductive phoenix eyes, and the corners of his eyes were raised, unable to hide a trace of banter. The inky black eyes are breathtaking. Vermilion lips slowly curled up in an unfathomable arc, like a smile but not a smile, but like a poisonous Gu, attracting countless eyes and falling for it. A head of green silk hangs down to a half-open chest, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. He stretched out his hand, and his black hair was interspersed between his snow-white fingers, loosely braided into two strands, tied behind his head with a chain of crystal beads. He looked in the mirror with satisfaction and walked out of the house with a smile on his face.
......
How many mysteries are hidden in this blue booklet? Mu Ningjiu quietly looked at the things on the table for a long time, and slowly closed his eyes. In my mind, the small white figure of that month gradually appeared. It floats up and down in small increments, easily touching the top and bottom of the space. But it wasn't as active as it used to be, seemed tired, and stopped after a few jumps. "Lan, what's wrong with you?" Mu Ningjiu tried to communicate with it. Suddenly, the booklet spread out on the table began to open page by page, and a strange string of words printed into her eyes came into view:
Leucojum vernum
What kind of text is this? Like modern English, but not quite the same...... Mu Ningjiu looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see why. Forget it, it's time to ask Mu Mu. She put on a crimson light silk dress on the shelf next to her, folded her hands back to a graceful arc, the breeze rose, and the red ribbon on her back waist was as light and agile as a pink butterfly. The belt embroidered with silver and white leaves outlines the thin waist that is as soft and elastic as a wicker. She tied the green silk on both sides of her cheeks back and curled it up with a minimalist red satin, and the rest, as usual, hung down to her waist. On the face without powder, the red lips hook up a charming arc. She tucked the blue booklet into her sleeve, pushed the door slowly, and stood in the sunlight.
In the courtyard, a white figure stood quietly. In late spring, snow-white pear blossoms wither and flutter in the wind. The sunlight is finely broken, twisted into a small light and shadow, covered on the pieces of falling flowers, warm and beautiful. And that person, in this situation, is completely one, and there is no need to reconcile. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around, spread his palm, and a petal lay quietly in the palm of his hand. With a wave of his hand, the petals jump and spin in circles like elves, which is extremely vivid.
"Ning Jiu, you're here." His faint voice was as undulating as ever, but it sounded as beautiful as flowing water. Mu Ningjiu looked at the handsome person in front of him, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sly arc:
"Well, let me ask you, Wei Chi, look at you, you're also at the age of starting a family, aren't you, do you have a favorite girl?" The woman he fell in love with...... What will it look like?
Wei Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I don't have any plans yet." Then he looked at Mu Ningjiu, as if he had something to say, but he stopped talking.
"Then, do you need ......?"
"No, it's better to go with the flow." He paused, "It's you, Ning Jiu, I'm looking forward to it." ”
"Huh? What the? ”
"In the future, I will be able to pour out all the men."
"Wei Chi?!" Mu Ningjiu looked at his ink eyes in surprise: Is this the word that came out of his mouth? He also gossips?! She stared at him, catching the faint smile in his eyes. Is he laughing? She...... Got molested? Mu Ningjiu couldn't believe this fact, but he had to believe it because of his next sentence:
"Then when the time comes, don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet." Wei Chi became more and more handy, watching the woman opposite change from disbelief to annoyance, a smile on the corner of her mouth, like the ice and snow that had just melted, Mu Ningjiu was stunned, and quickly came back to her senses.
"I can't forget it, I can't forget it, Wei Chi, and don't forget to bring my godson and goddaughter! I'm a godmother, so I have to prepare a big gift to make sense, don't I? She smiled like a cunning fox, and her starry eyes shone with an incomprehensible light.
When Wei Chi heard this, he shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Alas, blame me for my shallow cultivation, and I can't fight you." I'll wait until I'm full and I'll talk to you. Mu Ningjiu listened to Wei Chi's rare teasing, and also cooperated: "Okay, I must accompany you." As he spoke, he ran up and stood side by side with him.
......
On both sides of Yanwu Street, there are countless gadgets of all colors, filling the entire countertop. Small clay figurines, ceramic pigs, straw huts, snuff bottles...... Mu Changfeng touched this, looked at that, the corners of his mouth opened an exaggerated arc, and he smiled extremely satisfied. Mu Ningjiu and Wei Chixuan introduced him.
"Childe, can you ......" Liu Shiyi watched Mu Changfeng having a lot of fun, and he was also a little nervous: You know, since he was separated from Childe in Tianling Mountain last time, in addition to going to the restaurant, it seems that he ...... I didn't come out and had a good time.
Shang Jin looked at the couple in front of him who looked like fairy couples with a dark face, and replied angrily: "No way!" Liu Shiyi's face turned pale, looking at his master's unpredictable expression, tears flowed in his heart.
"Eleven! Eleven! Look! What's sold there? Wow......" Mu Changfeng shouted, pulling Liu Shiyi and rushing towards an antique shop. It's strange to say, Mu Changfeng had also seen Liu Shiyi before, and he didn't have much impression of him at that time. But fate is so wonderful - since the two of them met yesterday, Mu Changfeng pulled Eleven to talk about small jokes in the market, and Eleven complained about how Shang Jin squeezed him, and the two suddenly became friends who talked about everything. No, seeing Liu Shiyi suffering, Mu Changfeng came to rescue him. He is not afraid of any Shang Jin, he loves it. He was secretly thinking in his heart.
If it had been in the past, Shang Jin would have thought of a hundred ways to "well" entertain them. But at this time, all his eyes were focused on the crimson figure in front of him, and the white figure beside her. Just staring at it, as if I could see a hole. He touched the jade pendant that he had redeemed from the pawnshop in the morning, and pouted imperceptibly.
"Shang Jin, I didn't expect you to have so many interesting things here! Look," Shen Wan picked up the fish scale pattern Huadian, pasted it on his forehead, and asked Shang Jin with a smile: "How is it?" Seeing that the man opposite did not react, she followed his line of sight, and the woman in the red silk dress in front of her was smiling brightly, while the man next to her, although his face was expressionless, could clearly feel the tenderness and appreciation he exuded from the inside out.
Shen Wan raised her eyebrows: Mu Ning Jiu...... What's so appealing? To be able to treat both of them like this must be a very powerful woman. She thought to herself. However, this is just the beginning, and she is confident that she can beat her. The corners of her eyes rose slightly, she suddenly jumped in front of Shang Jin, stretched out her hand and waved in front of him, the silver bell on her wrist shook, making a "ding" sound: "Hey, come back to your senses, Shang Jin, is this forehead ornament good-looking?" ”
Shang Jin seemed to hear someone calling him in a trance, and when he looked up, he saw that a woman in a green leaf dance dress was pouting and looking at him.
"Hmm...... Perfect for you. Shang Jin was stunned for a long time, and slowly replied, a trace of dazedness in his eyes had not yet dissipated.
They walked past the Baixiang Pavilion, Shen Wan suddenly stopped, gently tugged at Shang Jin's sleeve, pointed to the door of the store and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
Shang Jin's gaze followed the red figure in, and his feet followed unconsciously. Shen Wan picked up a small clay bottle on the wooden shelf and read the words on it: "Ning Sixiang." She sniffed the bottle closer, closed her eyes, and smiled softly at the corners of her mouth.
