Came inexplicably, and left inexplicably.

During this whole trip, Chen Jisheng felt at a loss.

After leaving the Yamen, he took Yishui's subordinates and walked on the bluestone streets of Qingzhou Mansion. There are many people around and there is a lot of discussion.

"I heard that the National Teacher and the Snow Maiden had a fight recently."

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. That day, an unprecedented snowstorm fell near Yishan Mountain, which almost buried my ox cart. ”

"Who won in the end?"

"I don't know. But the Snow Maiden should still be alive. Otherwise, how could the summer in Yishan be so cold. ”

“……”

Chen Jisheng didn't expect that in the past few days when he stayed in the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion, such an earth-shattering event would happen outside.

However, he didn't understand for a while why the national teacher suddenly went to Yishan to deal with the Snow Girl.

After all, in his memory, when the disaster in Qingzhou Mansion happened, the Snow Maiden also harnessed the ice crane, fought against the Nine Baby Snake Demon, and rescued many people and monks.

Just as he wanted to step forward to inquire about the situation, the corner of his eye suddenly swept over the two inconspicuous figures in the crowd.

One of them was a young man wearing a scarf and a green shirt.

This person wears a black half-face mask, which at first glance looks unremarkable, and makes people turn their heads and ignore his presence.

But Chen Jisheng's gaze stayed on him for a long time, and he always felt that this person looked inexplicably familiar.

Beside the young man in green shirts, there was also a woman dressed in white like snow and wearing a power fence.

The light veil like a mist covered her face, and her temperament was cold and detached.

She looks like she's in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, but she feels like she's floating above the clouds.

At this moment, the young man wearing the mask suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Chen Jisheng.

His smile was like a bright sunshine, which made Chen Jisheng a little dazed for a while.

By the time Chen Jisheng came back to his senses, the young man in green shirt and the woman in white had disappeared into the vast sea of people, and they would never be seen again.

Chen Jisheng frowned, trying to ponder the identities of these two people.

However, the memories that remained in his mind also dissipated silently like a cloud of smoke.

"Lord Chen, what's wrong?" Wang Yang, who was next to him, saw that he suddenly stopped, and asked with some doubts.

"It's nothing," Chen Jisheng shook his head, "Maybe I recognized the wrong person." ”

…………

"Princess Zhaoning called Lord Chen to Qingzhou Mansion, and she really wanted to use him as bait to lure me into the bait," Gu Xu took the Snow Girl and left the street of Qingzhou Mansion, turned into an alley, and whispered to himself, "Fortunately, he didn't have any accidents." “

Snow Maiden glanced at him.

She has always been simple-minded, and she has lived on a snowy peak with no one for many years.

For her, human intrigue and conspiracy are too complicated.

She only knew that the Great Qi Imperial Court was trying to target Gu Xu in every possible way.

And Gu Xu's blood is a panacea for her to restrain her instincts and maintain her sanity. Therefore, she didn't want Gu Xu to have any mistakes.

"Where is Childe going next?" After a moment of silence, she asked.

"Of course, I will continue to hurry," Gu Xu smiled, "However, I haven't reached the saint realm, so I can't shuttle through the space continuously." So it takes a few days to reach Kunlun. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the Snow Maiden: "If I blend into the crowd now, will you be able to find me?" ”

At this moment, Gu Xu not only wore a mask, but also added layers of prohibitions to his body, including anti-divination, anti-tracking, blurring vision, etc.

Ever since he was intercepted by Princess Zhaoning and the Great Qi National Teacher's floating flying boat, he didn't trust the mask's concealment ability as much as before.

The Snow Maiden looked him from head to toe.

He shook his head, then nodded.

Gu Xu's methods are indeed enough to conceal the powerhouses of the saint level.

But she never relied on his face or any kind of detection spell to identify him.

"Your smell hasn't changed." She said lightly.

Hearing her words, Gu Xu shook his head with a smile.

He shouldn't have asked the goblin such a question.

…………

After leaving Qingzhou, the two began to use the "astrolabe" to rush west, and soon arrived in Jingzhou.

During Zhenyuan's recovery, Gu Xu originally wanted to go to the hidden deep mountains and old forests to rest.

But the Snow Maiden's gaze stayed on the bustling Jingzhou City for a long time.

When she was a child, she lived in a deep boudoir and rarely went out; After becoming a ghost, he has lived alone in Snow Peak for nearly 20 years.

The breath of fireworks in this world is undoubtedly a fresh scene for her.

She stretched out her hand towards Gu Xu and withdrew it.

Stretched out again, and retracted.

After hesitating like this a few times, she finally carefully tugged at Gu Xu's sleeve and said softly, "Childe, let's ...... Can we go into the city and have a look? ”

Gu Xu's eyebrows rose slightly.

A ghost with the strength of a saint showed a hesitant posture like a little girl in front of him, which made him feel a little surprised.

His first instinct was to refuse her request.

However, he thought about it, no matter how hidden the deep mountains and old forests were, they were not as safe as the Snow Maiden's side.

If the Snow Maiden is annoyed, the consequences may be even more terrible than being caught by the Great Qi Imperial Court.

Being arrested by the imperial court is at most one death.

Dead at the hands of the Snow Maiden, his body and soul will be reduced to her food, and he will never be able to transcend it.

And there is a possibility that she will lose control and cause a terrible disaster in the world.

"Okay." He agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of the Snow Maiden's lips seemed to curl up slightly, and quickly returned to their original cold appearance like an iceberg.

It's like an illusion.

Then, Gu Xu's eyes closed and opened, and there were words in his mouth.

"I tried to disguise our identities with the way of cause and effect," he said to the Snow Maiden, "If anyone asks, you will say that your name is 'Gu Qingru', my name is 'Gu Zhixing', and they are a pair of cousins and brothers with the cultivation of the first realm. Because I heard that the Sword Pavilion has been recruiting new disciples recently, I want to go there and try it. ”

Snow Maiden let out an "um" and took his words to heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again: "These two names are good. Did you make it up? ”

"That's right."

"Do they have a provenance?"

"The two lines of poetry from hearsay, one is 'ask where the canal is as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water', and the other is 'the paper is shallow, and you must bow to this matter'."

The Snow Girl read these two lines of poetry softly several times over and over again, and sighed: "No wonder your poems are better than mine." ”

Gu Xu didn't understand her way of thinking for a while, and asked, "Why does Miss Lu think so?" ”

"Childe has traveled all over the world and seen all kinds of things in the world," Xue Nu said seriously, "and my so-called 'poetic talent' is all obtained from books."

"Compared with Childe, naturally there is a little more ingenuity and a little less freedom."
