Chapter 50: The Snow Meets
It was already late at night, Xiao Qianye was alone at home, looking at the punishment letter in his hand that he couldn't believe - suspended for three months, but the big and small matters in the cabinet were still decided by the cabinet master.
To put it bluntly, this is just to give an explanation to the Shuangji Society, and the nominal verbal punishment is not trivial at all, and even the jurisdiction of Yudu, which he is most worried about, is still assigned to the military pavilion.
The important thing is that behind the punishment letter, there is a new task - to pacify the rebellious Holy Moon Clan in the territory of the Gara Bai Sect.
However, the excessively light punishment made him even more uneasy, it was not like a decision that the prince could reverse by himself, but more like His Majesty didn't care what decision would be made.
The sigh of Emperor Tianquan to the crown prince on the top of the star-picking tower sounded in his ears: "The world will be yours sooner or later." β
Wrong...... Xiao Qianye's eyes were like lightning, since the Night King had promised him that as long as he found that poor Qi, he would give him the right to return to his homeland, then what he had to do next was undoubtedly to use all his strength, digging three feet into the ground to find out the fierce beast, and the military pavilion was distributed in the four major realms, and he would definitely bear the brunt of the task, but he didn't do it, he really did as the prince said, just sent himself to quell a small disaster?
The Ming Dynasty has ruled Feiyuan for thousands of years, and even if it is the first time that a foreigner dares to openly rebel, it will not cause too many waves, after all, the powerful empire is in full swing, and it is easy to eradicate the troublemakers.
Emperor Tianquan must have other purposes behind his immobility, and accommodating the prince in this way is really doting...... Or is there something else going on?
He rubbed his face irritably, the father and son were suspicious of each other and tested each other, so that their group of courtiers caught in the middle were walking on thin ice.
At this moment, the family crest in his arms suddenly lit up, illuminating the whole room, Xiao Qianye came back to his senses vigilantly, locked the doors and windows for the first time, he took out the family crest and put it on the table, only to see Xiao Yibai's figure reflected in the strange ice blue eyes above, and waved at him.
After saying goodbye to North Shore City, Xiao Yibai put his family crest on him, saying that he had cast some kind of magic on it, and he could contact him as soon as possible.
However, it had been five days since he returned, and the man had not contacted him at all.
"Where are you?" Xiao Qianye's gaze passed through the eldest brother, cautiously looking at his surroundings, he seemed to be in an open-air courtyard, next to the white plum blossoms that were still in bloom, snowflakes mixed with plum petals, gently falling on his clothes.
"In the fine snow valley. Xiao Yibai smiled mysteriously, and sure enough, seeing his younger brother's face flashing with shock, he took a step back, turned around, and took him to observe the scenery in the courtyard, "Look, it's still snowing! I heard the valley master say that it snows all year round, but the valley uses geothermal heat as a technique, and it is not cold at all, you can enjoy the flowers in the courtyard while watching the snow, do you want to come and play too?"
"Don't. Xiao Qianye rejected him indifferently, of course Xiao Yibai knew what he wanted to say, and deliberately made him anxious, "Mingxi told me, after the autumn election, you will go to Jialuo, take a little detour to sit down!
"What about her, what about her?" Xiao Qianye asked nervously, after she was taken away by Feng Ji that day, although she relied on the frost sky phoenix to stabilize the breath of the spirit phoenix that ran wild, the whole person had fallen into a coma and was unconscious!
"Hehe......" Xiao Yibai was not in a hurry or slow, pretending to be angry, "In the end, it is more important to have a sweetheart, I have been away for so long, and I don't see you caring about it, hey......"
"I, I can't contact you again, where will I use this thing?" Xiao Qianye quibbled, only to see Xiao Yibai shaking his head and sighing, while bypassing a corridor and knocking lightly on a door.
After a long while, there was an angry complaint from behind the door: "Didn't you say that she can't die, don't come over?" knock knock, knock again, knock every day, you have to knock her to death to be happy, right?"
Xiao Yibai smiled awkwardly and winked at his brother in the distance: "Look, it's all your fault, I was scolded again, right?"
β......β
Xiao Qianye was silent, saying that the fine snow valley is a fairyland on earth, and the women in the valley are like fairies to help the world and save people, why is this opening not like that at all?
The door squeaked and was kicked open by her foot, the woman inside rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, looking capable and shrewd, she was holding a plate of empty medicine bowls, she didn't look at Xiao Yibai, she ran out in a hurry, and roared: "Go in, she just took the medicine, you have something to say quickly, hurry up and leave after speaking, in her current situation, don't wake up if you can fall asleep, you hurry up and don't disturb her rest." β
"Okay, I'll leave in a while, and I won't delay. Xiao Yibai had obviously been scolded a few times a long time ago, and nodded knowingly.
There was a dim candle lamp lit in the room, reflecting the face of the woman on the sickbed, and there was no longer a bright phoenix fire on her body, and her expression looked much calmer, which made Xiao Qianye also breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother and sister...... Xiao Yibai changed his title directly and said, "I see that you are much better today than yesterday, and the fine snow valley really deserves its reputation, although it ...... Ahem, although those female doctors are a little irritable, don't mind, they have to treat a lot of patients every day, and they are very busy, and it is normal for them to be a little impatient. β
"Big brother is laughing, a few big ladies are good. Yun Xiao blushed slightly, and saw that he was holding a light mirror in the palm of his hand, and Xiao Qianye's figure appeared in the mirror.
"Qianye?" she hurriedly picked it up and sat up straight, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, His Majesty only gave me a three-month suspension. Xiao Qianye looked at her carefully, she was only wearing a thin inner lining, but on her exposed neck, the fire-colored phoenix feathers had fallen off.
"Suspension?" Yun Xiao turned to Xiao Yibai, and the other party hurriedly followed, "It's okay, it's just a suspension, and there is no punishment for it, just make a show to shut up the senior leaders of the Bipolar Society, don't worry about him, just worry about yourself." β
"I'm fine. Yun Xiao touched the golden ring on her hand and shook it, "This is given to me by Lord Feng Ji, although I don't know what it is, but it is very comfortable to wear." β
Xiao Qianye nodded, Yun Xiao was already unconscious when Feng Ji put the sun wheel on her hand, she probably didn't hear the conversation afterward, and she didn't know what was going on.
"What about Senior Brother, did he find that brother?" Yun Xiao asked anxiously, her last consciousness was still in the Biluo Sea, and when she woke up, she was already in the Fine Snow Valley, the legendary Feng Ji, the head of the hundred spirits, left in a hurry after she woke up, and no matter what she asked in the future, the doctors and medicine boys in the valley tacitly ignored it.
The Qingmei Sword was also put away by the valley lord and prevented her from touching it, and the valley lord said that the breath of the sword spirit would be captured by the Star Sacrifice Palace, and it would cause trouble for Qianye.
It wasn't until two days ago that she saw Xiao Qianye's brother Xiao Yibai, but the disciples in the valley still didn't let them talk much, and they drove people away within a few minutes of seeing each time.
She naturally knew her current physical condition, and she also knew that Xi Xuegu did this completely to save her life, but these questions haunted her heart, and it was always a heart disease.
"Senior brother has already taken his younger brother back to Kunlun......" Xiao Qianye hesitated, do you want to tell her about Tianche's transformation into a Jiao?
Yun Xiao's eyes widened, a little unbelieving, Xiao Yibai added: "It's true, Qianye has already agreed to His Royal Highness the Prince's conditions, and naturally he will not embarrass the Lingyin Clan again, after all, the person who wants to arrest them is the Emperor of Tianquan, not the Prince, right?"
"Big brother, where did Feng Ji go?" Xiao Qianye obviously didn't want to say much about Tian Che's question, so she quickly changed the topic and asked, "Did she just throw Ah Xiao into the fine snow valley and leave it alone?"
"You said that the bird that only snows? It hasn't come to see me today, why, you want to see it too?"
"No, I ......" Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment, remembering Feng Ji's words - the phoenix feeds on bones and blood and needs to be kept in the body, it is true that the blazing phoenix was reborn from the fire in Feng Ji's body, but how can this kind of divine bird be raised in the body?
Feeds on blood and bones...... With Yunxiao's current body, how can she afford this way of feeding?
"Look at ......" Seeing that he looked dazed and didn't know what he was thinking, Yun Xiao put down the light mirror, her palms were facing up, and a thin white snow suddenly floated in her palm, which fell in the center of her palm and turned into water, "You see, it left frost and snow on my hand, and the doctor here said that my body temperature is too high, and frost and snow can help me stabilize." β
Before he could ask anything more, there was another roar at the door: "Have you finished speaking?
Xiao Yibai was stunned, hurriedly grabbed the light glass, and waved at Yun Xiao: "You listen to the doctor, I'll go first." β
He hurried out of the room as if he were running away, and returned to the backyard again, where a man stood under the pear blossom tree, seemingly waiting for him to return.
"Yo, why did the valley lord come in person?" Xiao Yibai was slightly surprised, the valley lord of the fine snow valley was a middle-aged woman who looked only over forty years old, she was wearing a linen-white tight-fitting cloth coat, the sleeves were rolled up to her arms, and there were two large cloth pockets hanging from her waist, one of which contained several lancets, and the other was stuffed with cloth binding ointment, she held a pipe and spit out a cigarette leisurely.
Xiao Qianye looked at the person under the tree through the light mirror, and he couldn't connect this person with the legendary fairy.
"What's the matter, the Pavilion Master doesn't think I'll be a young fairy in white clothes, right?" She obviously saw the confusion on the other party's face, sighed and stepped forward, nagging, "Waigu receives so many patients every day, if I wear a long skirt, I may trip and fall to my death, and I have to find two more attendants to carry the tools for me, with this little time, the patients are all dead, do you say, Pavilion Master?"
Xiao Qianye was a little embarrassed, he didn't understand medical skills, but there were indeed a bunch of medicine boys in the Danzhen Palace who were running around with tools.
The fine snow valley is divided into the inner and outer valleys, although the outer valley receives patients regardless of identity, but the inner valley has extremely strict requirements, although it is a place with a reputation for saving lives and helping the wounded, but ordinary people can not enter the inner valley even if they are critically ill.
Yun Xiao was brought by Feng Ji herself, which made Neigu make an exception, so it is estimated that Neigu should have something to do with some aliens?
"It's rare to see it, is the Pavilion Master going to ask nothing? If you don't care so much about that girl's life or death, I don't care even more. The valley lord snorted coldly and spit out a cigarette again, Xiao Qianye knew that she had something to say, and she must have other purposes when she suddenly appeared, so she had to follow her words and asked, "What is the situation with my junior sister now?"
"Senior sister?" The valley lord glanced at Xiao Yibai with a glance of his eyes, "Didn't you call her brother and sister?"
"The future, the future!" Xiao Yibai hurriedly explained, the valley lord said angrily, "I let her be taken in for the sake of the military pavilion master's face, in case one day the fine snow valley offends the imperial capital, I am also the one who saved the pavilion master's wife, how can I take care of the old feelings and let me live, right?
"Isn't it for the sake of Feng Ji's face that the valley lord will save her?" Xiao Qianye reminded in a cold voice, and sure enough, seeing the slight smile on the valley lord's face, he nodded, "Forget it, the fine snow valley is the hometown of the frost sky phoenix, and the rare herbs planted in the valley still need to be watered by the frost and snow of the frost sky phoenix to live, Lord Feng Ji opened his mouth, I have to give this face no matter what, it's just ...... I'm afraid this girl is a little abnormal. β
The valley lord quietly observed the expressions of the two, and said: "Lord Feng Ji didn't say anything, but she is probably also from the Spirit Phoenix Clan, right? The blood of the divine bird burned the human body, almost burned her to death, this can't be regarded as a disease at all, frankly speaking, I can't cure her, I can only help her stabilize the breath of the Spirit Phoenix in her body for the time being, if you want to cure the root cause......
The valley lord frowned, as if she also felt that what she was going to say next was very unreliable, but she still continued with a mutter: "If you want to cure the root cause, maybe you have to start with the divine bird that signed the contract with the Lingfeng clan at the beginning, right? But tens of thousands of years have passed, and no one knows where that divine bird is now, hey, it's difficult." β
Xiao Qianye also knew very well that it was undoubtedly difficult to ascend to the sky, and the divine bird was extremely rare, let alone the one that signed the contract!
Moreover, if the contract is terminated, the Spirit Phoenix Breath on Feng Ji and Yun Xiao's father will also disappear at the same time, will the two of them be willing to give up eternal life?
The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley smiled and shook the ashes of his cigarette: "Okay, the Lord of the Military Pavilion, you should treat it as my nonsense, I am a doctor, and it will always be like this when I encounter a helpless patient, you don't have to take it to heart, but yes, I still have to collect the consultation fee, after all, the whole family still has to eat! When she is leaving, I will find someone to send the bill to you to the Tianzheng Mansion." β
The valley lord waved his hand and strode out of the backyard, Xiao Yibai turned his face: "Qianye, when are you coming?
"The autumn election is the day after tomorrow, and the list of ink pavilions has not been reported to me, and I won't go until it's over. Xiao Qianye came back to his senses, Xiao Yibai hurriedly said, "Gongsun Yan contacted me before, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the personnel of this session, because the time was too urgent, only one person in the wasteland on the outskirts of Tianyu City took the initiative to sign up, if you don't like it, just don't try it yourself, go back and find a reason, let him arrange his own people to come and take over." β
"Arrange your own people?" Xiao Qianye glanced at him angrily, "Aren't you the best person for yourself?"
"Me?" Xiao Yibai shook his head, "I have other things to deal with, I can't continue to stay in Jialuo, after helping you solve the rebellion of the Holy Moon Clan this time, I will go to the Valley of Eastern Hell's Confinement......"
Xiao Qianye shrugged his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do in the Valley of Confinement?"
"Go destroy the Nightmare Heart. Xiao Yibai sighed deeply, his eyes were stern, "The Night King has already appeared, he took away the Cang Shark and the Voice of the Sea, that must be an important bargaining chip for him to recover his divine power, otherwise he would not have to take it back with great difficulty, the Sea Demon has escaped, and there are still the Nightmare Demon and the Earth Bound Spirit, since the Night King has the ability to dominate all beasts, sooner or later he will take away the remaining two demons, I can't let him get his wish." β
Neither of them is a general, the legendary demon can fall asleep, is a despicable thing that snoops on people's hearts, and the earthbound spirit is nowhere to be seen, and can even take people's souls.
"Are you going alone?" he looked at his brother worriedly, wouldn't it be too risky for this person to deal with monsters alone?
"There will be other wind demons together, don't worry. Xiao Yibai shook his head, his expression complicated.
The Night King's purpose was to find the fierce beast from the beginning, but where would that poor Qi be? It stands to reason that the center of the Blood Formation was undoubtedly the most likely place, since the Blood Formation was clearly on the Weeping Snow Plateau, why was there no trace of the array?
Could it be that someone else intervened and hid the real eye of the array?
He immediately remembered a nameβζ½ζ».
That is one of the twelve gods of the heavenly realm, the name of the goddess of prophecy, she once wrote the history of falling into the sky on the snow tablet in the snow field, could it be that she secretly moved something?
After all, she is a goddess with the power of prophecy, and if she could have noticed everything today, it is natural for her to bury the corresponding strategy early.
Friends and foes in the Heavenly Realm are unknown, is it really helping them? Or perhaps, there are even more amazing secrets hidden, such as ...... God of War Emperor Zhong!
Xiao Yibai silently looked at his hand, he actually didn't see the memory of the ancient god of war once, if everything in his brother's dream was true, why did the Xiao family suddenly break out after thousands of years?
The most special person next to his younger brother is undoubtedly Yun Xiao, a mixed-race descendant of the Lingfeng clan, could it be ...... The god of war, Emperor Zhong, has also seen the divine bird that once signed a contract?!
He gasped, what happened thousands of years ago that would have interlocked and eventually evolved into such complex consequences as today?
"Someone is coming......" On the other side of the light mirror, Xiao Qianye got up vigilantly, and there was a sound of broken footsteps in the backyard, he hurriedly put away his family crest and walked out with his sword.
