Book I, Chapter 7

He Yu looked at the man who was walking slowly towards him, and his face was full of smiles.

The man was dressed in white and gold, and his head was full of silver threads fluttering in the wind. On the handsome face of the prosperous age, the smile is gentle and elegant.

"You kid hasn't grown so tall in a few years. I remember the last time I saw you, you were just below your uncle's shoulder, and now you are at the root of your uncle's ear. It's really like flowing water, light and shadow like a shuttle!" The man reached out dotingly and stroked his head, his face gentle.

"Hehe, uncle, I was only ten years old when I came with my master that time! It's been seven years since now, can I not be long?" He Yu said mischievously, his eyes full of smiles.

"Haha. Yes, it's been seven years, how can He Yu be the hairy boy he was back then?"

"That's nature. After a moment of pride, He Yu regained his expression and said, "That's right." Uncle Shi, this is the letter that Master has asked me to hand over to you today. After speaking, He Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the man.

The man took it and opened it...

On the white paper, the content is impressively presented.

The man looked at it, and his face suddenly became calm.

He Yu didn't dare to disturb. Just looking at the man's beautiful and handsome face that has become heavy, I am also a little anxious in my heart.

-----

Midnight.

The hazy moonlight shines through the clouds and onto the earth.

Shuying stepped on the thick snow and kept speeding up. She looked at the strange plants that kept appearing around her, and her heart became more and more apprehensive and uneasy...

The further you go in this snowy forest, the colder it becomes. The cold seemed to come out of the earth, and it was bitterly cold... And even the strange plants that are beginning to appear are gradually decreasing.

-----

Midnight.

The snow brightens up the earth.

The man in white with silver thread folded the letter lightly and put it in his arms. He turned his head to look at the young man in front of him, and said with a frown: "He Yu, can you do Uncle Shi a favor?"

"Uncle Shi, if you have something to do, just tell me. He Yu looked at the uncle who had always been light, and suddenly became very heavy, and he also became serious.

"Okay! Heyu, Uncle Shi didn't misunderstand you. I want you to enter the Cold Valley and help me bring a beautiful girl in pink clothes out of the valley safely. And you told her that you were entrusted by an old friend of her sister. If she insists on going into the valley, you give her these three things and tell her to come out of the valley before sunset tomorrow, when the valley bottom will collapse... After that, you will be out of the valley quickly, and you should not wait. Due to the time constraints, you need to go back quickly. After the man in white finished speaking, he took three items from his arms and waist and handed them to He Yu, and explained them one by one for what they were for.

He Yu nodded and took it, and was just about to turn around and run, when he heard an anxious reminder from a man behind him: "He Yu, time is urgent, you fly with your sword." The man's white jade-like face suddenly covered a thin layer of red due to urgency. The cold wind caressed his wisps of silver, faintly covering the fragrance of his cha, which was even more suffocating!

He Yu did as he said and offered a silver sword. However, when he saw the reddened appearance of the man's jade face, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey." Uncle Shi, you are so beautiful. I think I'm afraid that the fairies in the sky are not as good as you!" After saying happily, he rushed into the sky with a "boom".

Leaving behind the man with an angry face on his face.

The man looked at the shadow that disappeared into the air and shook his head helplessly. "Looks like I'm going to have to defend the valley quickly. The faint words drifted gently in the cold wind.

-----

Cold... Bone-chilling cold...

As soon as Shuying stepped onto the transparent mirror-like ice, she was frozen and instinctively retracted.

She looked at the barren ice and gathered her clothes hard.

The cold air was like a white mist, floating slowly above the crystal clear ice. Her eyes were certain, and with a wave of her pink sleeves, she flew into the air again. The bone-chilling white mist was so tightly entangled around her that her spiritual power could not be used, and she kept falling down.

"I'm not going to give up. Shuying shivered with coldness, and her eyes looked at the ice around her with great determination.

Anger burned fiercely in her eyes like a fire. She gritted her teeth and stepped onto the ice again. The countless white qi around her was like a call from death, firmly surrounding her. Her face turned pale, she bit her cold blue lips and ran wildly...

A broken smile bloomed silently on her whitewashed face. "I'm not going to, give up... Never give up... Sister, I can get the one with the spirit bead... You wait for me, I'll definitely get it... I won't let you leave me again... Disappear like last time..."

The footsteps gradually become vain... Shuying struggled to walk on her legs that were frozen like icicles, and kept muttering to herself, thinking of the beautiful things that had been...

I remember that when my sister was not yet formed, I always liked to talk to her every day. My sister made up the conversations of the people who passed by her every day into one story after another and told her gently, until one day she gradually had a sense of inspiration and suddenly heard her sister's voice...

At that time, my sister watched the moonlight with her every day, watched the sunset together, and sang songs to her. My sister's singing voice is very beautiful, although she has never heard others sing, but in her heart, my sister's singing voice is always the most beautiful in the world, and no one can compare...

......

She is still an orchid grass, she has no figure, only a faint aura. At that time, my sister was just taking shape. For her sake, my sister tirelessly collects morning dew every morning to irrigate her who needs nutrients...

......

The rain that rained for three days at a time beat her to the point of dying. My sister, who came back from being missing for three days, blamed herself and couldn't stop sobbing in front of her. She still vividly remembers that at that time, the tears that her sister fell on her body actually had a salty taste.

......

At the critical period of her cultivation, when she was just two hundred and seventy years old, a fire broke out in the forest. The fire is like a huge claw, quickly devouring everything. Smoke was spreading everywhere, and the scorching fire was mercilessly closing in on her. She clearly felt the approaching fire scorching her weak limbs with great intensity...

In the boundless pain, she felt that she was getting weaker and weaker...

It was my sister who rushed into the fire desperately and rescued her. It was my sister who raised her in a pot of fertile land and irrigated her every day with magical dew that I don't know where she got it, so that she slowly came back to life...

......

Until one day, my sister suddenly disappeared, leaving her alone and disappearing for a hundred years. Since then, no one has collected morning dew for her, no one has sung to her, no one has watched the sunrise and sunset with her...

Later, she finally turned into a human form, practicing hard every day, and looking for her missing sister like crazy.

However, the days of waiting and searching are terrible, because as time goes by, all you wait for is endless panic and fear...

So she can't afford to lose her sister again...

No... Yes absolutely not...

She must get the spirit bead...

Sister, wait for me... I can do it...

We will never be apart in the future...

......

Shuying could clearly feel that the breath she exhaled was gradually turning into ice crystals. She could feel her fall heavily to the ground. She could feel the green veins on her unconscious hands. She could feel her smiling and climbing...

The cold on both sides gradually dispersed and slowly thinned.

Her whole body was covered with snow and frost, and she clasped the biting ice, stretched out her hand and crawled forward, her eyes full of joy.

The white fog gradually disperses...

The stone monument with "Ning Han Valley" suddenly appeared in front of him.

The smile was like a white snow lotus blooming on her face. Looking at the stele, she scrambled to her feet, turned to look at the cold and smoke-dense ice, and exhaled softly.

"Heh, heh... I walked through it. Shuying's weak smile was still a little incredulous.

It wasn't until the frost on her body gradually receded and her body gradually felt a little conscious, that she was stunned and relieved.

Shuying clasped her hands together, her apricot eyes were closed, and her whole body was pink.

In the pink light, her hair danced lightly, and her clothes fluttered, beautiful and unparalleled.

The frost quickly receded from her.

She smiled and looked open...

A smile condensed.

She looked at the hazy front and was stunned again.
