The Snow Lake Festival is an improved inheritance from the Midyear Festival, unlike the Central Plains, which will only worship ancestors on July 15, the Snow Lake Festival is a grand festival that lasts for seven days, but the Central Plains Autumn in July is crisp, and the Jialuo in July has already entered the cold and biting season.

Xiao Qianye walked on the Dengxian Road, and when he subconsciously carried the cold heart method of Kunlun Mountain, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head strangely to look at his brother who was wrapped in a thick fox fur beside him, reached out and opened his collar and frowned at a small redbud on his underwear.

This is the logo of the Dipping Workshop, as early as a few years ago by the emperor hand-picked to the most favored crown prince Mingxi as a royal use, the eldest brother on this exquisite workmanship of the fox fur is the crown prince gift.

For a while, he remembered some of the gossip he had heard in the past six months, which made him dumbfounded, Xiao Qianye's face darkened at the speed of light, and just when he was struggling with how to open his mouth to test it, Xiao Yibai shivered and tightened his collar to cover the bauhinia flower, and muttered in a low voice: "Cold, I haven't learned your Kunlun Mountain's cold protection technique, and it will be troublesome to faint when you catch a cold." ”

"Where did you learn your martial arts?" Xiao Qianye still avoided the doubts just now, and walked side by side with him on the Dengxian Road, as if he was just gossiping about another thing that had been incomprehensible for a long time, "I heard that you dropped out of the Eighth Hall of Military Aircraft and the Eighth Hall of Law Cultivation a long time ago, and at that time I was very angry with my father, if it wasn't for my mother to protect you, most of you would have to be beaten badly, but your martial arts are no worse than their students, and even judging from my feeling of twenty-one three-army training in the past six months, it is estimated that few people can beat you, which is very strange, Where did you learn such powerful spells? ”

"Isn't it okay to be self-taught? I've been a genius at spells since I was a kid. Xiao Yibai still looked like a hanger, smiling and perfunctory, and sure enough, in the next second, he saw a kind of disgust on his younger brother's face, and before Xiao Qianye could say anything, he immediately concocted the same method and stuffed a sky lantern into the other party's arms, and grabbed the words, "I pulled you out to be distracted, since the first day you came to Fulong Town, you have been preoccupied with your face, even Luo Qi's smiling fox can't be mentally beaten, tonight we don't talk about business, just walk around and accompany me, okay?" ”

"Your business is also business?" Xiao Qianye retorted noncommittally, and before the second complaint could be spoken, Xiao Yibai hooked his shoulders and pressed back, he mysteriously poked the lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, and sighed with infinite emotion, "Most believers will make their own prayer lamps, they will write their wishes and blessings on the lamp, and then brave the wind and snow to come and hang it with their own hands, it is said that the closer the position of the hanging, the greater the chance of being heard by the gods, but this road to the immortals is very dangerous, sometimes a gust of wind will cause an avalanche, So it's hard for ordinary people to hang too far, and basically ten miles further is the limit. ”

Xiao Qianye carried the lamp in front of him, and found that there was no wick inside, just when he was puzzled, Xiao Yibai snatched it back from his hand and took the initiative to hang it on the side of the road, and shouted: "My lamp was temporarily bought in Fulong Town, and the three lamps of the Snow Lake Festival are all without wicks, it is said that after the leader of the White Sect opens the festival, the power of God will pour into each lamp to light it, and those spiritual fires will not be blown out by the cold wind, nor will they be extinguished by ice and snow, and they will not be extinguished until the end of the Snow Lake Festival!" ”

"Pretending to be a ghost." Xiao Qianye sneered disdainfully, and at the moment when his words landed, there seemed to be a slightly hot wind passing through his ears very lightly and slowly, as if there was really some magical power in the darkness that made him raise his head and look at a place farther away, and finally his pupils shrank violently into a point - the prayer lamps lit up one by one along the Dengxian Road, which was an orange and extremely warm color, and at the same time, the sky lanterns floating in the sky also shone like stars, far away, He could even see the lotus lanterns on the glacier tributaries below the mountain, like quiet water lilies, which were extremely beautiful.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Xiao Yibai pushed his younger brother who was in a daze with his shoulder, he quickly regained his composure after a moment of surprise, repeating the four words just now, and his tone was even more indifferent, "Pretending to be a ghost." ”

Xiao Yibai raised his hand and pointed to the end of the mountain road, his expression became a little mysterious: "Qianye, can you see an amber halo on the highest place over there?" ”

Xiao Qianye looked at the place of his finger in confusion, although the snowstorm will ease after the Snow Lake Festival opens, but when the wind blows, it will roll up the ice beads on the ground to confuse his vision, in fact, he can't see very far and clearly, just when he was about to shake his head in confusion, suddenly something in the depths of his pupils flickered slightly, and there was really a wonderful halo of amber that flickered indefinitely, and for a moment of curiosity, Xiao Qianye subconsciously blurted out and asked: "What is that?" ”

Xiao Yibai paused and replied, "The followers of the White Sect call this 'Holy Light', and it is said that only the most devout believers can see its light through the mountain roads and the wind and snow. ”

"." Xiao Qianye sneered coldly, "Do you think I look like a devout believer? ”

"Hey, hey." Xiao Yibai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and replied again, "But I heard that it was an eye, an eye that was personally gouged out by the previous sect leader during the civil strife of the White Sect sixteen years ago and put on the top of the Thousand Machines Palace. ”

Suddenly hearing some kind of profound coldness from these words, Xiao Qianye stared at the past again, sixteen years ago he was only two years old, and it was impossible for a two-year-old child to know what the cause of the civil strife of an alien god sect thousands of miles away started, but he did seriously investigate this matter, because his uncle Yun Qiushui of Kunlun Mountain happened to be the great priest at that time.

Yun Qiushui is a woman in the Central Plains, she is already one of the four peaks of Kunlun Mountain at a young age, he crossed the ocean ten years ago, although he worshiped under the master's door, but for so many years of life has been Yun Qiushui has been taking care of, the most important thing is ...... Yun Qiushui has a daughter, who is his own junior sister.

Suddenly, he remembered that innocent face again, Xiao Qianye's eyes seemed to have lost focus and didn't know where to look, he quickly shook his head and shook off all kinds of thoughts that came to his mind for a moment, Xiao Yibai quietly observed the subtle changes in his brother's expression, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be deliberately telling him: "It is said that Yun Qiushui came to the Feiyuan Continent when he traveled down the mountain, and met the former sect leader King Garan by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon got married, and soon she became pregnant. ”

Xiao Qianye remained silent, and Xiao Yibai sighed silently: "Such a woman who came alone resolutely married a man in a foreign country and became the first non-alien ancestor in the history of the White Sect. Afterwards, such a huge killing was covered up by King Garan with one hand to cover up the past, when the plump and handsome sect leader walked up to the white sect altar with his graceful wife, the disciples reverently knelt under the lotus throne, respectfully celebrating the hundred years of the union between the sect leader and the new great priest. ”

"The good times didn't last long, Yun Qiushui's body turned sharp after she became pregnant, King Jialan took her to the imperial capital for medical treatment, the imperial capital Tianyu City is composed of three pavilions and two palaces, among which the Danzhen Palace is a concentration of the best doctors in the whole territory, Feiyuan is a country that is extremely discriminatory against foreign races, although the bloodline of the King of Jialan is unknown, but judging from the pair of demonic red eyes and the breath of fire bursting out of his body, he is undoubtedly also a foreigner, so he was expelled as a matter of course, and caused a lot of sensation on the charge of breaking into the inner city of the imperial capital in violation of regulations, However, unexpectedly, the eldest princess at that time, Mingyu, took all the blame for him, and even claimed that he was his friend despite his status as a royal princess, and made an exception for Danzhen Palace to treat his wife Yun Qiushui. ”

Xiao Yibai's tone was stern at this moment: "No one knows what happened between the eldest princess of Mingyu and the king of Jialan sixteen years ago, but after that, a piece of the royal family's ancestral treasure ancient jade "Shenyue" was stolen, King Jialan and his wife disappeared, and the eldest princess was imprisoned for this, this case has since become an unsolved case, and now the eldest princess of Mingyu and King Jialan are still missing, and Yun Qiushui, the only one who knows the whereabouts, has also lived in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain for a long time, and is in a foreign country. Although the high-level officials of the imperial capital wanted to investigate Shen Yue's whereabouts through her several times, the emperor was far away, so he could only stop in the end. ”

"Uncle Qiushui...... I didn't mention her in Higaku. Xiao Qianye finally spoke, as calm and calm as Xiao Yibai expected, "Uncle Qiushui was indeed pregnant with Liujia when she returned to Kunlun Mountain, but she didn't mention who her husband was and what she experienced in Baijiao. ”

Xiao Yibai smiled quietly, this kind of thing Wind Demon had already investigated, and he naturally knew that every word his brother said was the truth: "After the theft of Shenyue, King Garan, as the biggest suspect, Bai Jiao naturally suffered several encirclements and suppressions from the military pavilion, but unfortunately the weather on the Weeping Snow Plateau is bad, and the Bai Sect has all kinds of powerful forbidden techniques that can block the invasion of the army, and it has been tenaciously supported until now, by the way, the current leader of the Bai Sect is an eight-year-old girl, It is said that it was a foreign race with rare blood that was picked up by Cen Ge's great priest five years ago, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, he was forcibly promoted to the position and became the sect leader. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, raised his head and smiled suddenly, "That's good news." ”

"But Cen Ge is a very powerful opponent." Xiao Yibai kept adding, "Not only is he himself a strong alien race, but he also seems to have received personal guidance from King Jialan and Yun Qiushui, his martial arts and spells are very powerful, and he also has a younger sister, who is currently the chief commander of the White Sect." ”

Xiao Qianye turned the white sword spirit, but there was a kind of eager anticipation in his eyes: "Ah Xiao and I told me that Uncle Qiushui did accept two informal disciples in Feiyuan when he was young, and after Uncle Shi returned to Kunlun Mountain, he sealed the sword spirit and never used it again, and her disciples have never accepted any more apprentices, so those two great priests should be regarded as the only two disciples who inherited her mantle, Uncle Shi is known as the title of 'Lingbo Fairy', but I have not had the opportunity to see a trick and a style for so many years, and I can't imagine that fate is not in Kunlun Mountain, but in Baijiao." ”

"Ah Xiao?" Xiao Yibai accurately grabbed a crucial name from his words, leaned into his ear and whispered, "It sounds like a girl's name......

Xiao Qianye was still thinking about Cen Ge's affairs, but suddenly her cheeks flushed uncontrollably when she was interrupted by her eldest brother, and she forcibly turned her face calmly to avoid Xiao Yibai's malicious gaze, and explained incoherently: "Well, Ah Xiao is the daughter of her uncle, and later became my junior sister under the head of the master." ”

"Senior sister, junior sister...... Xiao Yibai snickered and teased, puffed out his cheeks to make a pity look, and muttered to himself, "It would be nice if I was a younger brother and sister." ”

The younger brother's face was so red that white smoke came out at this moment, Xiao Yibai simply pulled his sleeve with a smile, pointed in the other direction and said mysteriously: "It's all here, I'll take you to the glacier to put lotus lanterns." ”

"I'm not here to play......" Xiao Qianye was already disturbed by his few words, and he wanted to refuse on the basis of reason, but his body was immediately shrouded in a hazy halo, Xiao Yibai used his spiritual power to arouse the breeze, and he couldn't help but drag him from the Dengxian Road to the big snowfield on the other side.

A tributary of the glacier river revealed a clear light in the moonlight, and the people on both sides of the bank had already gathered to put lotus lanterns, he excitedly pulled his younger brother to trot over together, and took out a lotus lamp from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's arms, and said with a hippie smile: "I'm very well prepared, right?" I don't know the customs of the Central Plains, but the lotus lanterns placed at the Snow Lake Festival are to send lovesickness and blessings to important people. ”

Xiao Qianye seemed to be in a daze for a while, he was depressed and holding the lotus lamp in his hand, and inadvertently walked to the river by the laughter of the people around him, Xiao Yibai leaned over next to him, and pointed his finger at the center of the lotus lamp and whispered: "You have to bless religiously." ”

"Superstition." He muttered indifferently, but in his heart, he really made a wish silently, Xiao Yibai looked at his serious movements, grinning and sneering, "Superstition, you still have learned well?" ”

Xiao Qianye didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just as he was about to follow the example of others to push the lotus lamp into the water, Xiao Yibai pressed his brother's wrist like an electric shock, and scolded with a smile: "Write your name!" How do the gods know who you want to bless without a name? ”

He frowned and glanced at the people around him with his peripheral vision, and sure enough, they all wrote their names seriously on the wick with pen and ink, and they were a little embarrassed for a while, Xiao Qianye hesitated for a while and then shook his head disdainfully: "If it is really a god, then it should be able to penetrate the thoughts of ordinary people, so I said that this kind of thing is purely superstitious, just now I just casually played with you, that is, I just hope you are safe and healthy." ”

Xiao Yibai blinked, knowing that he was making an excuse or deliberately snatching the lotus lamp, his fingertips hooked up the spell, and began to write his name according to his younger brother's words, muttering unrelentingly: "Is it really for me?" Then I have to write my name so that the gods can see it. ”

"Wait a minute......" Xiao Qianye hurriedly snatched it back, he looked at the word "Xiao" written on the wick in embarrassment, and quibbled forcefully, "The Bai Sect is originally an enemy, there is no need to follow their customs, it's okay, I've done enough, I have to go back and carefully study the route of the attack." ”

Xiao Yibai pretended to say "oh", watching his younger brother push the lotus lamp in his hand to the glacier without hesitation, but at the moment of letting go, a touch of unskilled spell quietly covered the word "Xiao" he wrote, adding three points of water to the side, turning into a "Xiao" word.

He smiled silently, not exposing his brother's careful thoughts.
