The bright sun warms the dry and cold air because of the winter, and the clear and clean sky looks particularly high in the winter breeze, which seems to be the perfect weather, and the people in the city look particularly vibrant.

With the tall walls as a backdrop, the buildings of all colors stand apart to form a distinct street, full of lively sounds, vendors selling their wares on the side of the street, and a variety of people passing through the streets and alleys.

Among them, there are some casual cultivators, and even occasionally, you can even see disciples of major sects dressed in various sect uniforms walking proudly on the street, attracting countless exclamations.

People come and go, and it's very lively.

"Dongzong is still as lively as ever. ”

On the noisy street, an old man on crutches looked at the scene in the city and smiled kindly at the girl beside him.

And the petite girl beside him, no more than fifteen years old at most, a pair of crystal clear eyes without the innocence of this age but with a little bit of worldly calm, just by looking at it, you can know that the neckline of the precious brocade red jacket has snow-white plush gently brushing the girl's flawless side face, stepping on a pair of unknown animal skin boots, walking beside the old man, like the two of them walking through the downtown of Lanlin City together.

"Hai Lao, have you ever been to Dongzong?" the girl asked softly, her voice light and clear, like transparent ice cubes on the eaves in winter.

"Well, once a few decades ago. The old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Are you going back now?"

The girl looked at the lively scene in front of her, listened to the shouting of people coming and going, the vendor on the side of the road launched a cart of small and delicate snacks, adults and children were shopping on the street, and a woman in the restaurant next to her was arguing with her buddies, and then broke down the door and left, causing a commotion that suddenly caused a commotion.

It's a very lively city.

But I couldn't get in.

She calmly withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The old man still looked at the girl with a smile, patiently waiting for her decision.

"This city seems to be very lively these days," the girl said lightly, without answering the old man's question just now.

"Yes, in the past few days, the seven major sects of the Eastern Sect seem to be sending disciples to enter a new secret realm, it is said that there is a Heavenly Mystery Weapon, and those demon clans of the Eastern Sect seem to have also moved. The old man said with a smile, and these words came out of his mouth as if they were some random household routines.

"Heavenly Mystery Weapon?" The girl frowned slightly, and after a little contemplation, she still said: "Forget it, after all, this is the territory of those sects, and we have no reason to interfere." ”

"Hmm. The old man smiled and agreed, as if he had completely obeyed the girl's idea.

Then the girl was silent for a while, took one last look at the lively street behind her, and then said slowly: "This trip to Dongzong is just to seek a way to treat Hai Lao's injuries, I have recently told Aunt Yu to ask her to help me pay attention to Dongzong, since it is fruitless, Hai Lao, let's go back to the imperial capital." ”

"Haven't you been here for a few days?" asked the old man with a smile, as if he were looking at his granddaughter, charitable and kind.

"Why do you ask? The girl's light voice sounded, and she said without turning her head, and the old man looked at her like this, but he sighed in his heart and felt distressed.

What is it that makes a little girl like this?

has done such a shocking thing, but he is still forcing himself, and his mental means can make him amazed, but this stubborn character who refuses to say anything is the same.

Alas, she herself has forgotten that she is just a teenager.

"You probably like the atmosphere in this city. The old man looked at her with a calm look on her face, like a delicate doll that closed his feelings.

"There is no such thing, Hai Lao, you should pay more attention to your body. The girl shook her head slightly, then looked up at the old man.

"Haha, I don't care about this kind of thing for a long time, I've lived long enough," the old man smiled very contentedly, "If you hadn't used that Ice Spirit Emperor Fruit to save me back then, maybe it would have been a good thing to die." ”

"But don't worry!" the old man gently patted the top of the girl's head, and the petite she had only reached the old man's waist, and he smiled heroically: "At the end of my life, it is good to encounter such a thing!

Listening to the old man say this, the girl bit her lip gently, and there was a rare look of unwilling remorse.

I still can't do it myself!

If that person were there, I would have been able to do it.

I just remembered by chance that he had written down a few prescriptions back then!

That irresponsible guy...!

Smack.

Tears quietly slipped down her cheeks at some point, and she quickly wiped them away in a panic, but she couldn't stop the tears, and the old man watched silently and didn't speak.

Gently wiping away the last bit of tears, she didn't care about the precious fluff of the messed cuffs at all, and her face returned to its previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.

And the old man watched this scene silently for a long time, and then smiled kindly: "Think of the big boss again?"

The girl was silent and continued to walk forward, the old man smiled lightly, and slowly followed, one old and one young, and continued to walk in the downtown of the city, although it seemed a little out of place.

"Eh, this fairy is as beautiful as a fairy! My brother and I just came here, I wonder if I can ask for directions?"

The girl looked up, and in front of her, a flirtatious-looking young man was holding a somewhat sleepy white-haired young man, who was accosting a veiled woman, and above the woman's skirt, a string of spars that shimmered slightly with the refraction of light made of different lusters made a soft sound.

"Holy Sea Heart Glass!?"

The girl whispered in surprise, slightly wondering, why did the person who possessed such a thing appear here? That kind of legendary material that even she couldn't get was actually hung on her body as a decoration by this woman?

"Tianxuan's cultivation, at this age, is really terrifying, and her identity seems to be not simple. The old man lightly hid the invisible ripples of the two people's breath, and said with a smile.

"It's not about us. The girl opened her mouth lightly, and the woman in the distance smiled hazely at the flirtatious young man, and walked towards the distance in a dreamy posture, and the young man's soul was suddenly gone, regardless of the white-haired young man next to him slipped on the seat on the side, and then he chased in the direction of the woman in a daze.

But her footsteps did not continue to move forward, and it was not the woman who attracted her attention, but beside it, on a hawker's stall, the bright red hawthorn was inserted into the stall, and the vendor on the other side kept stirring the transparent melted rock sugar boiling in the cauldron, shouting to the people passing by, taking advantage of the cold weather that had already entered winter, to make rock sugar gourds for them on the spot.

"Rock Candy~~Gourd~~~~~ Eh!!"

The long and undulating shouts with folk characteristics sounded in his mouth!

"Here you go! Take it and feed it!"

The hawker skillfully pours a bunch of hawthorns, and it doesn't take a moment for the rock sugar to solidify on the surface of the bright red hawthorn, which is crystal transparent and can pass through the sunlight, and the hawthorn inside, which looks like an appetite, is solidified in the rock sugar.

Seeing the vendor hand out a string of sugar gourds, the girl suddenly took a quick step, lifted the old man's soul to cover up, and walked to the stall.

"Eh, this little ......"

The hawker, who was busy with his head down, saw a figure coming, and immediately raised his head to greet him politely and warmly, but when he saw the girl's face and the clothes, his words suddenly condensed halfway.

Oh my mother!!!

The hawker twitched the corner of his eyes and looked at the brocade red jacket on the girl's body, as well as other decorations, he actually didn't recognize anything, but he could see that he was a shrewd person, not an ordinary color, eh, just the cuff of the circle of unknown monsters, probably she could buy it on this street, right?

This kind of character, what kind of thing to do in a stall like yourself!

One is not good, let alone the stall, it is estimated that the life may be gone!

In fact, he didn't guess wrong, the fluff on the girl's cuffs was collected from the softest hair on the Earth Xuan Demon Beast's body, not to mention the other things on her body were genuinely priceless!

"Uhhh That one... The.... Nun... Aunt.. Girl??" He is usually very eloquent, and he stammered at the moment and even called out his aunt, I just hope that I don't neglect this aunt and grandmother.

"It's to buy... A string... Sugar gourd?" the peddler asked, stammering and alarmed.

"Hmm. The girl nodded faintly, but still stared at the strings of bright red hawthorns.

The peddler was about to forcibly hold back his fear and start making it, but the girl looked up at him, made him dare not move, and then threw him something.

"Just look at it, I'll do it myself. ”

He nodded blankly, and then looked at what the girl threw at him, and almost fainted at this look!

A piece of Xuanjing !!

Fucking I haven't had a high-grade Xuanshi in my life, so there's a Xuanjing??

For everything from the hawker, the girl didn't care, she from the depths of her sleeve a pair of delicate little hands, twisted a string of sugar gourds, picked up the long spoon in her right hand and stirred the slightly stagnant rock sugar, and then gently lifted the spoon, flung high, the transparent rock sugar was like a delicate bridge shining in the sun, she reached out of the hawthorn to catch the rock candy fingers twisted and rotated, and the clear rock sugar instantly evenly covered and condensed the string of hawthorn.

"What a good skill the girl is!" said the peddler, who couldn't help but admire, for he couldn't do it himself.

The rock sugar slowly condensed, and the girl looked at the string of rock sugar gourds in her hand, slowly lifted it, and looked at her finished product through the sun.

I haven't done it for a long time, and I've regressed a bit.

The girl silently looked at the string of rock sugar gourds she made, and the old man walked up to her at some point.

"Sure enough, do little girls like this?"

The girl glanced at the old man, then lowered her head, her green voice with an inappropriate calmness.

"No, I don't like that, it always has been," she said softly, as if recalling something, "It's the little girls who like this kind of thing." ”

Yes, I don't like this at all.

It's just that

That person used to like it.

That's it.

"Hai Lao, let's go! Let's go back to the imperial capital!" The girl turned around and walked without hesitation this time: "It's been half a month since I left Liancheng, and the Chamber of Commerce can't do without me." ”

The old man looked at her helplessly, shook his head and smiled and followed.

The girl walked a few steps before she came back to her senses and remembered the string of rock sugar gourds in her hand.

The transparent rock sugar is wrapped in bright hawthorn, and under the sunlight, there is a taste of happiness.

It seemed a pity to throw it away, the girl thought, and then casually stuffed it into the young man sleeping in the chair next to her, and then disappeared into the crowd in an instant with the old man's figure.

And then, then,

How long has it been?

The white-haired young man who had just woken up looked at the string of sugar gourds in his hand with some doubts.

And on top of a tall pavilion in the distance, the veiled woman with a dreamy posture looked at the figure of the white-haired young man at this moment, the holy sea heart glass gently collided and made a sound, the woman gently raised her hand to caress her heart, bowed her head slightly and whispered:

"After more than a thousand years, King, I have finally waited for you. ”
