69. Traveling overseas (4.6K words)
Bai Shan has been thinking about two things: looking for more exercises and going farther.
Now it's all done all at once, and the destination is still the overseas country of ice and fire that "bypasses the land of crane slaves".
He had never heard of such a place, but he was inexplicably excited and happy in his heart.
After seeing all the, broken porcelain, and charcoal slag in Taohua County, he really wanted to go outside to see, whether it was to become stronger or to open his eyes.
However, he temporarily suppressed his excitement and began to open up his worldview by asking questions.
"What is a crane slave?"
The last time he asked, Xiao Lang changed the topic, but now he has practiced the [Tiger Roaring Night Chapter], and he has also met the real young lady, and was told of the existence of the abyss, his acceptance by the Song family has long been greatly improved, and now it is different from the past.
Sure enough, Xiao Lang didn't refuse to answer this time, but said glutinously: "Crane slave, it is something raised by immortals, there are a lot of them, there is not much intelligence and emotion, and the strength is similar to that of ordinary martial artists in the five realms of martial arts, and they have a high degree of recognition of our breath, and once they are identified, they will attack us."
Most of the crane slaves act with the crane immortals, but they cast a wide net.
And if we kill the crane slave, the crane fairy will track us through the location of the dead crane slave.
If we kill the Crane Immortal again, those disgusting immortals behind the Crane Immortal will come to us again.
This is also the real reason why we came to Taohua County.
This place is very remote, even the crane slave can't find it, plus we can block the breath, so it's even more reliable.
That mustard seed bag of yours was obtained after we killed the crane fairy in another place, and it can be regarded as deliberate, attacking the east and west, and taking them crookedly. ”
Bai Shan asked again: "What is the foundation?" ”
Xiao Lang said: "Before the immortal vein is born, all the true qi heart methods can be called the method of foundation building. Building the foundation is the qi of building, and when the qi is thick, the body will also be fed, and after reaching a certain level, the purple mansion in the center of the eyebrows will be opened, and the sleeping fairy veins inside will be awakened. ”
Bai Shan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What is the relationship between the immortals and us?" ”
Xiao Lang's eyebrows flashed coldly, "We can't wait for all the immortals to die, and the immortals also see us like this." ”
Baishan continues with a hundred thousand whys, "What is an immortal?" ”
Xiaomei said: "Okay, uncle, don't ask again, you are still far away from this world, if you can contact later, you can contact later." ”
Bai Shan said: "It's okay, I want to know it earlier, and if I know, I can better stay away from them and avoid contact." ”
May:...
Bai Shan continued to ask, "What is the abyss?" ”
May:...
Bai Shan asked, "Where do the immortals live?" ”
May:...
Bai Shan asked again: "What is the Great Light Temple?" ”
May:...
Bai Shan made persistent efforts, and did not hide it, he wanted to use this series of interrogations to pry open Miss Xiaomei's mouth.
Xiaomei wants to speak and stop, and then stops, and wants to stop talking...
Then, in a panic, she pulled the red line on her lips up and made a "hmm" sound.
The two stared wide-eyed.
Bai Shan looked at the secret thread sewn on the red lips and sighed, "I won't ask." ”
Xiaomei opened the red line at this time, and then laughed "goose goose goose", "Uncle, in fact, as long as you promise me one thing, I can tell you everything." ”
Bai Shan looked forward to it: "What's the matter?" ”
Miss Xiaomei's eyes were flowing with spring water, and she said charmingly: "Sleep with me every day." ”
Bai Shan said: "Then forget it." ”
Xiaomei said glutinously: "Uncle, why? Anyway, you definitely have to accompany Miss Song to sleep, what's wrong with adding me more, just treat me as a maid in the room. ”
Bai Shan slowly shook his head and said, "No." ”
Marrying Miss Song is just a task, there is no way to do it, he has no choice.
...
...
The snow was still drifting, passing through the houses of every house in the county.
On the ground, the snow was already so high that it drenched the necks of the feet, and if you stepped on this foot, the boots with a slightly shorter upper would be filled with snow, and the palms of the feet would be cold.
But Hakusan was still happily walking quickly in the snow.
Although he couldn't get an answer to the question of why he didn't get 100,000 mud legs, he was still very happy.
Being able to go to the outside world, he couldn't help but have a kind of joy in his heart.
Moreover, this is also the wish of him and Sister Miaomiao.
Soon, he came to the old house.
In the cracks in the windows of the old house, warm air was emitting from the outside.
In the house, Bai Miaochan was drinking fragrant snake soup with the children, and was a little surprised to see him coming, but she still put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up and walked out.
Hua Xiaoshuang shouted sweetly: "Big Brother Bai~~"
Bai Shan smiled at her and nodded, and then greeted Bai Miaochan who walked out and went out.
Hua Xiaoshuang got up silently, added another pair of chopsticks, and then scooped up the small amount of fatty snake meat in the pot with a spoon, and said, "This is for Big Brother Bai to eat, and you are not allowed to clip it inside, especially Han Yang." ”
Han Yang slapped the table and said, "Hua Xiaoshuang, what do you think of me Han Yang?" I won't rob anyone who robs Big Brother Bai! Don't talk about robbing, even if I let me give the bowl to Brother Bai. ”
Hua Xiaoshuang smiled.
Han Yang saw that she was going to make a bad move, and hurriedly said, "Don't affect Big Brother Bai and Sister Bai to talk." ”
With that, he looked at the crack in the door.
Outside the door, the brocade-clothed boy and the white-clothed girl were walking out along the bricks that had been temporarily moved from the small courtyard.
"Baishan, what's wrong? I'm only halfway through the meal! This winter's will soon be cold, and the soup with meat oil will soon freeze out white pieces. Bai Miaochan rubbed her hands, snorted the heat, and stomped on her little cotton boots.
Bai Shan said happily: "Sister Miaomiao, we are going to a far, far place. ”
"Huh?" Bai Miaochan was stunned, this topic caught her off guard.
Bai Shan said with a smile: "Sister Miaomiao, do you remember that we used to say that when you have money, you will go out to the outside world to see, eat delicious food, drink delicious food, see the life of different places, and see the lives of others." ”
Bai Miaochan finally reacted, her crystal eyes lit up, "Remember!" That... Where to? Why are you going all of a sudden? ”
Bai Shan said softly: "I went to a place called the Land of Ice and Fire overseas, it's still for my cultivation, but I can't say that to the outside world. ”
Although Xiaomei said that she would pick someone over, Bai Shan would definitely bring Bai Miaochan with him, and he vaguely guessed that there must be a "second-order aura land with strong fire power" in this ice and fire country, not to mention anything else, just the name "second-order aura land" made him have to bring Sister Miaomiao.
Isn't it possible that this spiritual temperature is raised, and Sister Miaomiao's broken pulse and body will be healed?
Besides, although he thinks that more than a year is enough, but Xiao Lang is scheduled for ten years, such a long time, such a long distance, during which some unpredictable variables are likely to be born, if he and Sister Miao Miao are separated, maybe it will be goodbye, so... No matter what, he has to take Sister Miaomiao with him.
In the previous conversation, he also told Miss Xiaomei, and Miss Xiaomei also promised to help him ask and reassure him. Because Bai Miaochan is an ordinary person, it is not a big problem to bring together, the only thing to worry about is whether Bai Miaochan can stand such a long distance.
"Overseas... Fire and Ice Country..."
Bai Miaochan was stunned, she never thought in her life that she would go to sea again, and she would go to a country with a magical name, she couldn't help asking, "This country of ice and fire, the name is quite mysterious, does it mean hot and cold?" ”
"It could be volcanoes and snow." Bai Shan guessed, and at the same time he remembered the "Island of Ice and Fire" described in a book he had read in his previous life, located in the north and snowing heavily, but because of the volcano, there was a place where the seasons were like spring.
"Volcano? Snowfield? Bai Miaochan was stunned and said, "Is that place suitable for people to live in?" ”
Bai Shan was suddenly a little unconvinced, after all, the "Ice and Fire Island" he saw in his previous life was an isolated island, but the place he was going to here was the "Ice and Fire Country".
With the word "country" in this, it is bound to be a place with political power, power, and culture.
But then again, who said that this "country" must be a human country?
He would have thought of this, but he was really excited to get his wish fulfilled, so he wanted to talk to Sister Miaomiao for the first time, and women are naturally careful, so they were not excited at the first time, but thought of some practical things, and then asked these practical questions.
This question made the "excitement" fall to the ground, and it became a matter of "eating, drinking, lazing, clothing, food, housing and transportation".
Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "I'll go and ask again." ”
Bai Miaochan said: "If you ask, remember to ask what to eat over there, how the price of things is, what money to use, what clothes to bring... If it's too different from ours, we'll have to go buy something more tomorrow. ”
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, and then ran back.
...
...
Soon, Bai Shan returned to the Song family.
But it is very strange that Miss Xiaomei, who has always been waiting for him at the viewing pavilion on the left, did not appear.
He wandered around again and found that the old lady with the stitches in the medicine garden was not there.
He went to the library again.
The door of the library was not closed, but the old man in the pavilion with his back bent and his sleeves hanging down was not there.
Bai Shan was a little strange in his heart, and he happened to see a maid, so he walked up and asked, "Where is Miss Mei?" ”
The maid stopped and said, "Uncle, Miss Mei, they seem to have discussed something." ”
Bai Shan's doubts in his heart were suddenly solved, this should be a matter of discussing travel.
He glanced at the library not far away, he remembered that there seemed to be some local chronicles and other things in the library, and there was no information about the Land of Ice and Fire in it, but... That Wang Lao is not here, and Xiaomei is not here, can I enter this place?
He continued to ask the maid, "Can I go directly into the library pavilion?" ”
The maid smiled and said, "I don't know, uncle, that's not our place." ”
Not our place?
Bai Shan was stunned.
"Uncle, I'll get busy first." The maid ran away.
Bai Shan thought about it, re-bypassed the deep pool in front of the pavilion, climbed the stairs, walked to the door of the wide-open library pavilion, and looked inside.
The winter sun shines through the open door, creating a fan-shaped field of light, but the depths are dark because of the lack of windows.
The bookshelf between light and darkness is casting thin shadows.
On the walls and tables, there are some dark-toned candles and copper lamps everywhere.
He thought for a moment and tentatively took a step forward.
And when this step crossed the threshold, the entire library seemed to come to life.
The bookshelves, copper cups, tables and chairs all seemed to come to life and began to wriggle, and the entire library seemed to be mottled, the shadows were like ink flowing, and they trembled and turned into gray dots, and there was a strange red light flashing inside, as if the flames were lit on the tissue paper, and began to invade... It gives the impression of horror that the false surface is peeling and the real is revealed.
...
...
After all, Bai Shan still didn't set foot in the library that seemed empty at this time.
He exited the threshold, and everything in the library was back to normal.
He then returned to the inner house and punched in the snow for a while.
It was getting darker.
Finally, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle~~ It's me~~" Xiao Lang's voice was as sweet as osmanthus glutinous rice.
Hakusan opens the door.
The peach-eyed woman in red clothes stood in the ice and snow with her hands down, covering the afterglow of the red lantern light in the distance, which was particularly dazzling.
"Uncle!!"
Xiao Lang suddenly stepped in, grabbed Bai Shan's arm, and pressed his cheek to his side, this position was acceptable to both her and Bai Shan.
"Uncle, we have already discussed the candidate to go to the Land of Ice and Fire.
There were four people in total, Miss, me, Uncle, White Girl, and no one else.
It's my credit that the white girl can go, so do you want to thank someone? ”
Xiao Lang lowered his head, bit his fingers softly and glutinously, and laughed.
Bai Shan said: "Thank you, Miss Mei. ”
Xiao Lang said: "It's okay, this is what I should do." ”
Bai Shan felt that although Miss Xiaomei was a wave, she really took care of him, so he said again: "Thank you." ”
Xiao Lang smiled glutinously: "I really don't need to thank you..."
As she spoke, she leaned into Bai Shan's ear and said, "Uncle, Miss said that as long as you nod, you can let me marry you." ”
Bai Shan said: "Miss Xiaomei, you know me, I won't nod." ”
Xiao Lang said: "However, you will get married in two days!" Miss's idea is, you marry Miss Song, and then we will go to sea together.
When the time comes, you will take me with you by the way, and you will be treated as a concubine.
Then, I, you, and then take Miss Song, and the three of us will sleep together.
I've thought about it, you sleep in the middle, and then I want to be nice to who and whom. ”
Bai Shan directly ignored the following words, Miss Xiaomei's topic was really endless, and he was not ready to take it, so he asked: "Miss Xiaomei, is the marriage date confirmed?" ”
His voice was very calm, as if it were not him who was going to get married.
Originally, he also longed for love, thinking about why he said that marriage is the grave of love? At the same time, he secretly swore that if he fell in love with a girl one day, then he would not turn the marriage into a grave, but would only make this love more and more beautiful.
Now it seems that this vow is a piece of, there is no love at all, there is no grave, and some are just a long-term contract.
He married Song Youning, protected her, put her under house arrest, and was her father-in-law, and the term was for a lifetime.
After a lifetime, the contract is reached, and the two are separated, life and death are separated, it's as simple as that.
And his gain is to be able to integrate into a "big force that he couldn't imagine before", harvest massive resources, and at the same time have the qualifications to seek immortality for himself and Sister Miaomiao.
Love?
He really can't love such a girl.
Xiaomei still didn't give up: "Oh, uncle, you just promise others." ”
Bai Shan said: "Miss Mei, let's talk about the wedding date and arrangements, I have a good preparation." ”
Xiaomei sighed helplessly: "Steward Wang has calculated it, three days later it will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and a banquet will be held on that day."
The venue of the banquet is the largest restaurant in Taohua County, the lakeside restaurant, and the local celebrities and magistrates will be invited to the banquet.
When the banquet is finished, we will leave Taohua County smoothly and go to the land of ice and fire in the name of going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers after the wedding. ”
Bai Shan was startled, his eyes swept over Xiao Lang's plasma-like red clothes, and then thought about the strange appearance of other people in the Song Mansion, and said in surprise: "Still holding a wedding banquet?" ”
Xiaomei said: "Of course, the head of the family and the Wang will take over the body of the Song family, but the Song family can also sense it." ”
Hakusan: ...
So is this marrying Miss Song, or marrying that big guy, or marrying two people together?
However, this thought was extinguished again.
What does it matter?
It's just a contract.
What do you care about?
Bai Shan didn't care about this, but asked: "Miss Xiaomei, may I ask what kind of place this Ice and Fire Country is, what is the food over there, how is the price of things, what kind of money is used, do you want to bring a change of clothes?" ”
Xiaomei was stunned, her peach blossom eyes were round, and she was obviously not a "person" who would think about these questions.
Her eyes moved, "uh" for a long time, and said glutinously: "Uncle, I'll take you to Wang Lao's place tomorrow morning." ”
Wang Lao is the old man in the library pavilion.
