It was nearly noon.

Wu Cao, who was only seventeen years old, was sitting quietly by the window, with gusts of cold wind and heavy snow, hanging his head, combing the rabbit's silver-gray fluff with a comb.

Due to the alternation of hot and cold phenomena in the sky, the willows outside the city have rotted in the season when the catkins should be flying.

However, the heavy snow does not stop because of this, and on average, it snows once a day, and the time is not fixed.

If it's good during the day, people are working, and sometimes they don't feel cold when they're busy.

But in the middle of the night, many people will be woken up from the cold.

Although there are coal mines outside the city, the imperial court clearly stipulated that the people should not use coal for heating, after all, the coal is highly poisonous.

Therefore, one has to think of another way.

The catkins were gone, and people had to use dry grass and shabby clothes to sew bedclothes (quilts).

But these are not as warm as catkins after all.

Fortunately, the Imperial City Division sent foxes and hares from door to door yesterday, so the young women in the city have a new job today.

In their spare time, they comb foxes and hares with combs, hoping to comb some of the fluff and stuff it into their bedding (quilts).

These hares and foxes seemed to have been frightened out of their guts, and trembled all day long, and did not resist.

At this moment, the Yang family, who had delivered lunch to the four brothers of the Wu family (Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Weiliang, and Wu Huaiyun), pushed the door and walked in, his face full of uncontrollable joy and smiles.

When Wu Cong raised his head when he heard the sound, he only heard Yang ask with a smile: "Jue'er, guess who is coming?" ”

Wu Cong thought for a moment and then asked with a smile, "Could it be Lord Zhuge ?" ”

When Yang smiled and nodded, Zhuge Liang, who was wearing a green shirt, also appeared in front of the door.

He shook his feather fan lightly and smiled and threw his hand.

"Samurai lady."

Wu Cong hurriedly put the rabbit in his arms on the ground and saluted Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Some time ago, the official promised to send you into the palace, and today is the day to fulfill the contract. ”

When Wu Cong, who had been waiting for a long time, heard this, he immediately hugged the Yang family who walked to her side, and asked with red eyes.

"Mother, when the child is not with you, you need to pay attention to your body."

Yang's eyes couldn't help but heat up when he heard this, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

She wiped her tears from her sleeve and nodded.

Then he pushed Wu Cong in front of the dresser and said, "You sit down, my mother will comb your hair again, and I don't know if there will be a chance in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't urge, just stood quietly in front of the door and waited.

At this time, an auxiliary soldier walked up to him and reported in a low voice: "My lord, Lord Shangguan, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division and the commander of the Imperial City Division, has something important to look for you. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "You stay here, and when the martial lady finishes freshening up, let her wait for a while." ”

"Yes!"

The auxiliaries immediately bowed down and received the order.

After Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, he rushed to Guocheng in a sedan chair.

When he arrived at Waiguo City, he saw Shangguan Haitang standing in front of the wooden house.

"Commander Shangguan."

"Lord Zhuge ."

After the two met, Shangguan Haitang handed over Chen Qingzhi's urgent performance to Zhuge Liang and told him Chu Hao's words.

After Zhuge Liang read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and secretly thought to himself: "That General Chen is really a blockbuster, and when he comes back, he has to find an opportunity to ask about the details of this battle." ”

He thought of these things in his mind, but on the surface, he arched his hand and said: "There is a leader of the official Lao, and this official will go to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor." ”

Shangguan Haitang immediately turned around and left.

At the same time, in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Ao Guang was lying on the crystal couch, half-squinting his eyes. While enjoying the massage of the mussel girl, I listened to Ao Wu's report.

When it finished speaking, Ao Guang's eyes did not open and said, "The monkey on the Tangting Mountain has also heard of it. ”

"It is a disciple of the Four Wasted Star Monarchs in the past, and it has been staying in Tangting Mountain for thousands of years, and it has never killed even an ant, and it lives by eating fruits. It is the only earth immortal in the Three Realms who does not touch cause and effect, and even the Five Turbidity Tribulations have no effect on it. ”

"Now, as long as the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Xun Dynasty don't come out of the Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, no one dares to provoke it."

"Besides, it never kills, it just makes people listen to music."

"So, you don't have to worry about the person who is a big man, he stays on Tangting Mountain and starves to death, maybe he will get some benefits."

"But about this matter, I have to explain it to Daqian for both reasons and reason."

"What's more, this is the first time that the Dragon Calling Bell has been used, and if it is not handled well, it may affect the next alliance."

When he said this, Ao Guang opened his eyes and ordered: "In this way, you use a storage box to pack hundreds of thousands of catties of empty snails and send them to the shore, and explain the matter to Daqian." ”

"Yes!"

Ao Wu immediately took the order and left.

On the Tangting Mountain, Cao Zhengchun was sitting on a stone with a numb face.

In front of him, a tall old white ape was dancing with excitement on his face, singing Yiyi's tune in his mouth.

It didn't seem to be tired at all, and after singing for three hours, it stopped unsatisfied, stroked its beard and said: "It's getting late, I'll be here here today, and the guests please come with the old man." ”

With that, it took Cao Zhengchun to a cave.

There are many red fruits in the cave.

The old ape pointed to the fruits and said, "Guests, please see, this fruit is called the fruit of the fruit, which has the effect of washing the marrow and healing wounds, and if you eat 10,000 pieces, you can increase your life for three months." ”

After that, he said with a face full of vicissitudes: "This fruit has been eaten for 3,400 years. ”

Cao Zhengchun nodded lightly, and subconsciously said, "Could this fruit tree be planted with gold?" ”

"Hahaha!"

The old ape's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said, "I didn't expect the guest to be so close to the old man." ”

The corners of Cao Zhengchun's eyes twitched, and he said, "Don't worry, old man, our family will continue to listen to music, but you need to answer this question from our family." ”

The old ape bowed his head and said, "That's, that's." ”

"This fruit tree does need gold to plant, or rather, it can be planted with any metal, and it doesn't need to be watered. Because, among the five elements, gold belongs to water. ”

"But only the fruit planted by gold has the effect of washing the marrow and increasing longevity. Other metals can only quench hunger and thirst. ”

When Cao Zhengchun nodded slowly, the old ape also smiled: "Guests should rest early, and the old man will go back tonight to prepare more tunes." ”

As he spoke, he turned and left.

……

In the world, ripples suddenly appeared in the sky above the originally calm Lanruo Temple.

Immediately after, Yan Chixia's imperial sword flew out, and on the other sword behind him was the scarred Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox.

After Yan Chixia sent her into a courtyard, she immediately turned around and prepared to take off.

The Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox knelt on the ground, lowered his head and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Yan Chixia looked up at the night sky that had become gloomy, and said with a complicated expression: "Leave Daqian, I am already a member of the Demon Division of Daqian Town, and when we meet again in the future, it will not be me who will talk to you, but this sword!" ”

With that, Edgeworth flew high in the air and pierced through the yin and yang nodes again.

If he didn't go back, Feng Qingtian alone wouldn't be able to deal with the tens of thousands of Yin soldiers.

The ghost king nine-tailed fox watched Yan Chixia leave without hesitation, and suddenly cried silently.

Tears fell on the snow on the ground.
