Yunkong Mountain.

The winter snow blew through the tips of the grass, and it could not take away the slightest trace of emerald color. Mu Shijing folded plum in the sideburns, straight to the bamboo flute, slender fingers on the hole flute smart jump, blowing a leisurely tune, she sat on the white deer in front of the Chumen courtyard, the dress is bright, the jade legs are slender and crystalline, the figure between the snowflakes is like a dream.

Bai Zhu came out of Chumen with a big broom, she put the broom against the door, and said with a slight annoyance: "Bai Zhu has been busy all morning, and Senior Sister doesn't know how to come to help clear the snow." ”

"Isn't Senior Sister cheering Xiaobai for fun?" Mu Shijing put the bamboo flute away from his lips and smiled.

"Bai Zhucai is not happy." Bai Zhu grabbed the broom with both hands and handed it over violently.

The bamboo flute was spinning in Mu Shijing's hand, she looked at Bai Zhu who was busy before and after, and said with a smile: "You have swept the snow, the snow will still fall, what's the point, unless Bai Zhu can sweep the sky clean." ”

"But the snow always has to be swept away...... Bai Zhu said that Mu Shijing was just stubbornly staring at her, as the left and right protector of the Dharma, she could be said to be in charge of the sect's affairs every day after the little senior sister left.

"When the little sister comes back, if she sees that the house is not clean, she will definitely be unhappy." Bai Zhuyang begged: "Sister Mu is here to help." ”

In the past, Bai Zhu's cuteness was the pass of Yunkong Mountain, but this customs clearance document was obviously of little use to Mu Shijing, who rode on the little white deer, watched the white deer sniff the flowers, and rubbed its horns: "Furry, you have to grow up quickly." ”

"It's obviously called Pear Blossom......" Bai Zhu muttered.

"The pear blossoms are so earthy, it's obviously fluffy and it sounds better." Mu Shijing hugged the white deer's neck and kissed for a while, and the little white deer smelled the flowers lovelessly and chirped twice.

Bai Zhu thought about it seriously, and felt that Sister Mu really didn't seem to have much lobbying value, and turned around with a broomstick.

Mu Shijing looked at Bai Zhu, jumped off the back of the deer, she followed Bai Zhu slowly, looking at this cute little girl.

"What are you doing with Bai Zhu?" Bai Zhu raised his head.

"Supervisor Bai Zhu, let's see if the left and right protectors are guarding the mountain gate well." Mu Shijing smiled.

At this time, Bai Zhu was completely desperate, she was just pretending to work hard to clear the snow, wanting to move Sister Mu with this, and trick her into taking her to eat delicious food, which was a trick for the little senior sister, but it had no effect on Sister Mu at all...... Bai Zhu didn't know if he had become stupid, or if his opponent had become smarter.

"Why does Xiaobai Zhu look so aggrieved?" Mu Shijing asked knowingly.

Bai Zhu puffed out his cheeks and didn't talk to her.

"It's so good, Xiaobai Zhu was bullied at home, and your little sister was bullied outside, it's really sisters." Mu Shijing smiled and nodded her forehead.

"Brother Lin won't bully the little senior sister, he is different from Sister Mu." Bai Zhu said.

"Yes." Mu Shijing looked leisurely and said: "Bai Zhu was not deceived just because Bai Zhu is still young, Sister Mu can be bullied very lightly behind her back, Bai Zhu should be careful in the future." ”

Bai Zhu looked at her with distrust.

Mu Shijing pursed her lips and smiled, threw Bai Zhu's broom aside, grabbed her little hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go build a snowman and have a snowball fight." ”

Bai Zhu didn't have time to agree or refuse, she had been pulled by Mu Shijing and ran outside the courtyard, Bai Zhu had a lot of fun at first, until the snowman she had worked so hard to build was destroyed by Mu Shijing, and all the snowballs she smashed at Mu Shijing were lost in anger, and after Mu Shijing smashed the snowballs, Bai Zhu was desperate.

In the next hour, the snowball fight turned into a one-sided bully, Bai Zhu was chased and killed to the point of exhaustion, and returned to Trumen with a snowy face, and was reluctantly pulled by Mu Shijing to take a hot bath.

After changing into new clothes and putting on a tiger head hat, Mu Shijing hugged her for a while, Bai Zhu relented, and soon agreed to go down the mountain to accompany her to eat dumplings.

Mu Shijing took the letter from the master, looked at the paper, frowned, she reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Zhu, and went to the fairy tower alone.

In the fairy tower, the woman in the snow-white fox fur stood in the courtyard, like a demon gathered by the wind and snow, and there was a coffin-sized ice in front of her, and a white skeleton was frozen in the ice.

"Is that him?"

As soon as Mu Shijing arrived, Gong Yu's voice sounded coldly, her voice in earnest was better than all the wind and frost swords in the world, enough to cut away her lazy coquettish air on weekdays.

The frozen bones were dug up from the site provided by Lin Shouxi.

It was the nameless skeleton they had encountered at the mouth of the cave in the valley early that morning.

Mu Shijing didn't expect Yunkong Mountain to move so quickly, so he found it from the place buried by the avalanche and transported it to the mountain today.

The dragon corpse is immortal and immortal, but this humanoid dragon corpse has withered, it does not need to be soaked in turbidity, just the cold has made it lose all vitality.

Mu Shijing's expression was solemn, she walked closer, her fingers wiped over the ice, she looked at the bones on the ice seriously for a while, and after a while, she said firmly: "Yes." ”

Gong Yu fell silent.

"Master...... What's wrong? ”

Seeing that the master had not spoken, Mu Shijing couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Are you sure you see that he has a heart like a dragon corpse and eyes like fire?" Gong Yu asked again.

"Sure." Mu Shijing said.

Gong Yu's glazed pale eyes floated with cold light, she stared deeply at the white bones stored in the cold ice in front of her, thinking about some legends and the past, but finally shook her head gently: "This bone was sent two days ago, and several immortal masters in Yunkong Mountain have seen it, and we have all come to the same conclusion." ”

"What?"

"It's just an ordinary human skeleton." Gong Yu said.

"Ordinary?"

"Well, there's nothing strange about it other than it's ancient, and we can't think of a reason why it has a tumor heart and a pupil of fire." Gong Yu shook his head slightly.

Mu Shijing also had some guesses in her heart, but since she couldn't find the reason with Shizun's experience, she didn't intervene in anything.

In the next period of time, this mysterious corpse is destined to become the focus of Yunkong Mountain's research, and the secret buried deep in the bone marrow will be excavated little by little.

"What is the real country, does the master have a clue?" Mu Shijing asked suspiciously.

Gong Yu waved her sleeve, and the huge ice coffin disappeared in front of her, like a piece of snow swept away by her sleeve.

"True ......"

She closed her eyes and couldn't help but think again of that vague trip to the Northland, the only people in the world who knew the secret were her parents, and with the death of her parents, no one ventured into the distant and mysterious Far North.

Her parents left the word 'True Country' to her, but they didn't attach any extra clues, nor did they leave any written credit to convey the secret, she only remembered what her mother said when she was a child, saying that True Country is an earthly heaven hidden in the ice and snow, which is indescribably ancient, it is the real annat, hiding the biggest secret of this world, and those who go there will get true knowledge and understand the truth of everything.

At that time, she thought that her mother, who had been there, had become omniscient, but later she realized that the so-called omniscience was only another kind of narrow-mindedness.

There is no shortage of immortals in the Divine Guarding Mountain, no matter how they talk about themselves in their daily lives, they have not been able to calculate the arrival of the King of Cangbi, the dragon's bone claws tore through the thick city walls, and the secret was trampled on the soles of their feet before they saw the light, and their family ties were buried together forever.

"One day, I'll figure out what happened back then." Gong Yu spoke in a low voice, but his voice was as calm as a boat on the shore.

"What?"

Mu Shijing was stunned by the answer to the teacher's question...... Back then? What year?

"Nothing."

Gong Yu opened her eyes, not wanting to talk about this topic again, she paused and said, "In ten days, I'm going back there." ”

Mu Shijing finally kept up with Shizun's thinking, and after a while, she realized where it was—it was her hometown, the hometown where the true qi was revived and the Taoism was beginning to flourish.

"Master...... How do I get back? Mu Shijing asked.

"It's a secret." "I hold the key to that door," she said. ”

The key to the gates of the Dead City.

In the past, she thought that she was the only key, but now she was even more worried, because she knew that there was an ancient gaze on the bronze door, and the mountain rain was coming, and if she could not guess the mind of the gods, then she was destined to not win the long game that followed.

"Do you want to go back?" Gong Yu looked at Mu Shijing's eyes and said.

Mu Shijing didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, she felt that she could be anywhere, but she didn't want to stay anywhere for a long time, as if in some distant place in the dark, an unknown mission was waiting for her.

"Master travels between the two worlds like this, what is it...... What are you doing? Mu Shijing asked softly.

"I'm doing what my dad didn't finish." Gong Yu only replied like this.

She doesn't know if what she did was right or wrong, but this is her mother's last wish, and she can't say more now.

Later, on the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony, she had a dream in which she saw a mother in a green dress, and she told her that she would create a new world in which she would grow up as an omnipotent god who guarded Xiaoyu. But Xiao Yu didn't want any new worlds and gods, because when she asked if her mother could still see each other, her mother didn't speak.

But it's just a dream.

"Ten days later, if Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan haven't come back, you can go to the Demon Evil Tower to have a look." Gong Yu settled down and said.

"If Master is really worried, why don't you go and see it yourself?" Mu Shijing asked rhetorically.

She didn't want to go to the Demon Evil Tower, because in her cognition, if Lin Shouxi didn't come back after ten days, it must be in the Demon Evil Tower with Xiao He, what would she do? Disturb the interest of others, and the bad people are harmonious?

"I'm not worried."

Gong Yu spoke calmly, she turned around, and the tall and slender back of the snow fluttered and left, disappearing into the snow.

……

……

"The temple door is closed again."

Lin Shouxi's fingers touched the broken stone tablet, he heard another bang behind him, and when he turned around, the temple door was closed, he walked over and pulled it, the door didn't move at all, it seemed that someone had locked it inside, and it couldn't be opened from this side.

"What the hell is this place?" Chu Yingchan looked at the gray mist in front of her and the moving and vaguely shaped giant in it, and only felt that her cognition was constantly being broken through.

"Seven Days City...... Immortal Country ......" The drama girl repeated Lin Shouxi's words, muttering stupidly.

"You're the oldest, have you heard of its legends?" Lin Shouxi saw that she was the head of the Black Emperor, and always felt that she still knew something.

"You're old!" The actress gave him a blank look.

Despite the crisis, she still stubbornly argues about some issues of principle.

After scolding Lin Shouxi, the drama girl covered her head and thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I have never heard of such a place in the world......"

"But it doesn't matter, although there are no legends about the Immortal Kingdom now, but after all, we are the first to come, as long as we can get out alive, there will be new legends in the world!" Drama girls have always been very good at making fun of suffering.

"What if we weren't the first to come?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"If we weren't the first, how could the existence of the Immortal Nation not leak out at all?" The drama girl does not believe that there is an impermeable secret place in the world.

Then, she suddenly understood the meaning behind Lin Shouxi: no one has yet walked out of here alive.

"It's all like this, you're still scary!" The playgirl clenched her fists, if she wasn't in danger, she would have let him taste the fists of the fairy realm.

The gray mist flowed slowly, and monsters that were far dozens of times larger than the ice and snow tusked giant elephant moved in this gray mist, they were aimless, their movements were slow, as if they were pacing, and they didn't seem to have any specific consciousness.

"To ...... In the past? The playgirl asked for their opinion.

Everyone's opinion didn't matter, the temple door was closed behind them, and they had no choice but to move forward. But this monument engraved with 'Seven Days City, Immortal Country' seemed to be a boundary monument, and they could all feel that as soon as they crossed this monument, they would enter a new world, and the unknown awaited them.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shouxi found that after leaving the temple gate, Chu Yingchan did not speak.

This iceberg beauty now seems to have really become carved of ice and snow, her skin is like snow, the green is sad, she bows her head, her lips are closed into a red line, and she looks very painful.

"I ...... I'm fine. Chu Yingchan said softly.

"You don't have an innate fear of such a giant, do you?" The drama girl is well-informed and quickly understands something.

"Born with fear of giants?"

"Well, don't look at cultivators as powerful, but many people are born with shortcomings, such as being afraid of heights, afraid of deep lakes, and afraid of huge objects that have lost their sense of reality......"

"No, I didn't."

Chu Yingchan flatly denied it, she pulled Lin Shouxi's sleeve and said, "Let's go." ”

Lin Shouxi wanted to comfort her, but she could see Chu Yingchan's expressionless face, and finally didn't say anything. In the Divine Domain, Chu Yingchan had clearly seen the huge statue of Guanyin and the yellow-clothed monarch standing up to the sky, so it stands to reason that she would not be afraid of them...... So where does this fear come from?

He also grabbed Chu Yingchan's sleeve and told her that there was someone around him.

Walking into the gray mist, everything became more blurry, and they could no longer even see the shadows in the gray mist, only to feel something moving vaguely around them.

"They don't seem to want to attack us." The playgirl walked for a while and judged carefully.

"No, they don't see us at all." Lin Shouxi said.

"We've clearly intruded into their territory." The drama girl said.

"How can ants intrude into the territory of an elephant herd cause an attack on the elephant herd?" Lin Shouxi said.

"Hey, don't be so presumptuous, okay!" The drama girl's heart was beating hard, and she yelled loudly to make herself less afraid.

Lin Shouxi didn't argue with her, in fact, comparing humans to ants may even be lifted, in many stories, even the whole world is just a sand table in front of the gods, they fabricated everything, created the law, one day they don't like it, they will tear down the sand pile of their childhood and start over, human beings will find this long-standing catastrophe in the future stratum, and name it after the horrific extinction.

They walked slowly through the gray mist, the great wind that swept over them, the sound of the giants as they walked by, and every step threatened to kill them, even if the giants themselves were docile and kind.

Other than that, the world is eerily silent.

"Where the hell is the Seven Days City Immortal Country? Why haven't you seen it for so long......" The drama girl couldn't help complaining, her legs were weak, and it was already a little difficult to walk.

"How do you find it?" Lin Shouxi asked rhetorically.

"At least see the walls or something, right?" The drama girl said.

"Walls are something for weak humans to protect themselves, and the kingdom of the gods doesn't need walls, they ...... Walking on the earth and the sky, unrestrained. Lin Shouxi said calmly.

"You...... How do you understand it so well? The actress was surprised.

She looked at Lin Shouxi with a blank look, and suddenly found that the young man's pupils were burning with golden fire.
