Chapter 270: Tears

Mu Chen quietly withdrew from the palace, and then wandered around the buildings in the middle of the snowy mountains, hoping to find traces of Wu Chun and the others.

However, the architecture here is very strangely arranged, except for the most obviously magnificent palaces, the other house models are exactly the same size, through the windows, and even the furnishings in the room can be seen, they are all strangely normal!

It would be forgivable if the houses were just the same size and color, but in this vast complex the size of a city, even the furnishings in every room are the same, it is very strange.

From the town to this snowy mountain, Mu Chen has been maintaining a state of invisibility, and he has also consumed a lot of mental power, so he really needs to find a place to recover.

And as far as the eye can see, except for the most central palace, there are standard rooms all around. That same weird room, Mu Chen didn't dare to go in. And the most central palace may be the residence of the mysterious saintess and the two Dharma protectors. It's even more dangerous to go there.

Mu Chen's eyes wandered around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see a tall white tower standing behind the entire complex. At the top of the White Pagoda there is a small platform that seems to be a place from which to overlook the entire castle in the mountains.

"There, no one is going to go. And at a high place, you can easily overlook the entire city, and maybe you can find the prison where Uncle Wu is imprisoned. ”

Mu Chen walked directly to the White Tower, and then walked up the spiral staircase to the White Tower.

At the same time, Mu Chen canceled his stealth status. Staying invisible all the time requires a constant injection of mental power, which is also a tiring thing.

"Huh, I hope Uncle Wu and they will be fine, if my inference is correct, at least Uncle Wu's personal safety should be fine. ”

Mu Chen thought in his heart and walked into the platform on the top of this white tower. This platform is not large, only less than ten square areas, from the platform can easily overlook the bottom, the entire city of the astonishing at a glance, but from the bottom, because of the angle, you can't see the top at all.

It's the safest place to be. Even if someone comes, Mu Chen can easily find it by virtue of the geographical advantage, and then leave incognito.

Mu Chen walked into the platform and was about to take out something to satisfy his stomach, when suddenly, his eyes skimmed to a corner of the platform, and then the whole person suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously put on a starting hand that was both offensive and defensive.

I saw that at the corner of the platform, a girl carved in pink and jade, curled up with her legs crossed, and a pair of big eyes with vigilance, quietly looking at Mu Chen.

The girl looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. But the pure gaze in her eyes made people feel that she was only five or six years old.

Her skin was very white, like snow outside, shimmering with a slight fluorescence, and the light from the outside could see the fine fluff on the girl's face.

Mu Chen's heartstrings were extremely tight, this Pure Lotus Sect was too weird. The mysterious saint, the powerful protector of the Dharma, the city in the snowy mountains

Who knows if this cute and harmless girl is a dangerous character?

Mu Chen took a deep breath and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

When the girl heard Mu Chen's question, her body shook and she shook her head.

"Could it be a mute?"

Mu Chen saw the girl's appearance and relaxed his guard a little. A person's eyes will not deceive, this little girl's eyes are so pure, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, it seems that you can see through all the emotions contained in these eyes with a slight look.

And now, in these pure eyes, there is only fear.

"Scared? she's scared of me?"

Mu Chen's heart was relieved again, he took off his defensive posture, and tried his best to make his tone softer and gentle: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

Probably because Mu Chen's tone softened, the girl's body no longer trembled slightly, and her emotions seemed to have stabilized. The fear in his eyes decreased slightly, and he turned to more curiosity.

"Can you speak?" Mu Chen asked when he saw that the girl's mood was relaxed, and his heart moved slightly.

"Yes. ”

A soft reply, as if ding. If it weren't for the fact that this white tower was extremely quiet, Mu Chen was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear this answer.

"My name is Mu Chen, what's your name?"

Since he didn't know what this girl had to do with the Pure Lotus Sect, Mu Chen didn't dare to say the name "Muren Jiu", so he simply told his real name directly. Even, Mu Chen felt that if he had half a lie in front of this girl, he would be seen through by his pure eyes like autumn water.

"My name"

"Snow Girl!"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke. However, after only two words, a soft shout came from outside.

Mu Chen was startled, he could clearly hear that the shout behind him was the voice of the Holy Maiden of the Pure Lotus Sect. Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Chen directly hid and then hid in another corner of this small platform.

"Snow Maiden, I've come to see you. ”

Just when Mu Chen had just finished hiding, the holy woman walked in, carried a tray, and placed it in front of the girl, "I'll bring you something to eat." And your favorite honey water, drink it. ”

The food in the tray is simple, a loaf of bread, a glass of honey water, and that's it. However, the girl seemed to be really hungry, and began to eat with the tray in her arms.

The girl ate very elegantly, ate a small bite of bread and drank a sip of honey water. However, when she was eating, her eyes kept looking towards the place where Mu Chen was standing just now, as if she was curious about what Mu Chen was doing and suddenly disappeared.

Mu Chen watched from the sidelines with fear, for fear that this girl would tell her what she had just done here. However, as time passed, seeing that the girl had no intention of speaking at all, Mu Chen was a little calmer.

The Holy Maiden didn't notice the girl's eyes, and after handing the tray out, she stood in front of the platform, overlooking the scenery of the entire city, "Snow Maiden, you say, if the Pure Lotus is really open in every corner of the world, will no one starve and freeze again?"

The saint spoke, though in question. But he didn't listen to the girl's answer at all, and continued to himself: "Yes, my father promised that once that day comes, there will be no more hungry people in the world, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, no one will be abandoned, no one will be persecuted." It's like, pure and immaculate as a pure lotus."

The saint seemed to be talking, and she seemed to be talking to herself. However, in Mu Chen's view, it is purely a religious pretending to be a ghost.

Although Mu Chen doesn't understand religion, he also knows the Tao of the world, there is good and evil in the world, there will be no absolute purity, and there will be no absolute darkness. There are good people and there are bad people. If the governance is good, the people will live in peace. The governance is not good, and the people are displaced. The world is just a fictitious beauty.

Mu Chen didn't care much about what the saint said, and his eyes wandered around the platform. The girl named Snow Maiden didn't seem to have the slightest feeling for the Holy Maiden's words, but after quietly eating the food, she curled up in the corner in that guarded posture.

And the holy maiden, standing in front of the platform, the breeze blowing outside, blowing her green silk fluttering. This was the first time that Mu Chen had been so close to this holy woman of the Pure Lotus Sect, and he could even smell the faint fragrance blown by the wind.

Suddenly, Mu Chen felt a slight chill on his face. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the holy woman, and saw a slight fluorescence in the corner of the holy woman's eyes.

That coolness is tears blown by the wind?

Somehow, at this moment, Mu Chen suddenly had a feeling of being touched. In front of her, she doesn't seem to be a saint of a cult, but an ordinary girl struggling in the red dust.

But this feeling is only for a moment. The tears on Mu Chen's cheeks were quickly dried by the wind, and the sparkle in the corners of the saint's eyes disappeared. She turned her head to look at the Snow Maiden, and smiled bitterly with a slight self-deprecation, "Still won't talk to me?"

The Snow Maiden was speechless, and the Holy Maiden didn't care, picked up the tray on the ground and left.

Mu Chen was above, watching the saint get off the White Tower, and her back disappeared into the distance, so she breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the stealth state.

Since it has been discovered by this girl named Snow Girl, Mu Chen doesn't need to hide it.

"Xie Lu thanked you just now. ”

If the Snow Maiden had told her story just now and was discovered by the Holy Maiden, it would definitely be very troublesome. So Mu Chen is indeed sincerely grateful.

The Snow Girl shook her head, looked at Mu Chen quietly, and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Mu Chen touched his nose, and had nothing to say, "Your name is Snow Girl, right?" You live here?"

From Mu Chen's previous trip to the White Tower, until now, the Snow Maiden has been curled up in the corner, and the Holy Maiden came up to deliver food just now, so Mu Chen asked this question.

The Snow Maiden shook her head and nodded again. Looking out through the railing of the platform, there was some hope in my eyes. Turning her head to look at Mu Chen, she hesitated for a moment, and the snow girl carefully pulled up her trouser legs, revealing Bai Shengsheng's calves and a chain!

Mu Chen's pupils shrank, and the Snow Girl pulled up her trouser legs, and he realized that the Snow Girl's legs were actually bound with chains!

"You're imprisoned here?"

"How long have you been stuck here?"

"Who locked you here?"

"How old are you?"

Shocked, Mu Chen asked questions one after another. In the face of Mu Chen's question, the snow girl sometimes shook her head and nodded, sometimes simply answered one or two words, and sometimes was silent. And through this simple communication, Mu Chen finally roughly understood the matter of the Snow Girl.

Snow Girl herself doesn't know how old she is, according to her, she has lived in a large house for as long as she can remember, and then five years ago, she was transferred here. She didn't know who her parents were, and she didn't know her name. Every day she was imprisoned on a high platform and worked for that terrible sister (that is, the Holy Maiden).

What shocked Mu Chen was that the Snow Girl's job was to drive snow!

In the city area of a radius of several miles, the reason why there is no wind and no snow, and it is as warm as spring, is all the handiwork of the Snow Girl!
