On top of the steep peak, there is a spacious courtyard. In the cold wind, the snow is falling, and a white-clothed figure stands under the plum tree, looking into the distance.

The six plum trees in the courtyard are all six-petaled red, and the red flowers bloom on the branches, covering the sky and the earth. The wind, snow and cold plum have always been extremely brilliant scenery, and they are especially favored by everyone in poetry. As the head of the four gentlemen, he is often the embodiment of nobility in the poems.

The mountain wind is actually not too cold, but it is inevitable that it will be a little cold when mixed with wind and snow.

The woman under the tree was dressed thinly, with only a tight-fitting white dress ironed. It's just that the woman's plain face, which is as beautiful as a white lotus, can't see the slightest coldness, and she looks light in a white snow.

A rickety old woman who looked very old pushed the door out of the house and called softly: "Miss, it's time to eat, the old man has made your favorite camellia balls." ”

The woman in white, who was called Miss, turned around, smiled lightly, and walked towards the old woman.

The house is not small, but the décor is simple. Sandalwood tables and chairs, a screen painted with three friends of the cold and cold, a guqin with spiritual energy, and a coffee table with yellow pears a little farther away, with a few low stools. The layout is simple, but it looks antique.

On the table, there is a plate of green camellia balls, two plates of home-cooked stir-fried vegetables, and a large plate of bacon. Coupled with a light pot of straw mushroom soup, the dish is simple. Three pairs of dishes and chopsticks had been arranged, and the old man in a black robe was already sitting at the table waiting.

The three of them didn't spend much time eating, and the old man was in ruins, and he ate very quickly. The old woman and the woman in white only ate a few bites and then stopped their chopsticks.

"Miss, another message has arrived today. ”

The old woman who got up to clean up the table handed a crystal clear jade jue to the woman, and then took the leftovers away and cleaned them up.

"Jinran, I have completed the matter of opening a sect in Fuyao Prefecture in the future, the location of the sect has been finalized, and the follow-up can be handed over to the Nie family to operate. In the past two days, I plan to leave for the Icefield State to have a look. Don't forget to write back to me when you have time. ”

After reading the content of Yu Jue, the woman in white bit her lip lightly, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

This is Zhuo Yuming's thirty-ninth interrogation in more than two years. Almost every ten or twenty days, he would be interrogated, most of them just a few words, briefly talking about his situation and experience. And Shu Jinran's side has always flown back the communication jade jue empty, not because she didn't want to talk to him about herself, but she didn't dare.

In fact, this courtyard is a cage, and she has set a ban outside the courtyard, when to break through the eight-rank realm, and when to get out.

Although she was allowed to watch Zhuo Yuming's interrogation, her father also forbade her to reply to Zhuo Yuming, if she dared to reply half a word privately, he would kill Zhuo Yuming with his own hands.

Although Shu Jinran has been reluctant to recognize this father since she was a teenager, she is clear about the high cultivation of that man. And what that man said, he would definitely be able to do it, and she had no doubt that once she disobeyed his wishes, Zhuo Yuming would really die.

So even if she missed Zhuo Yuming in her heart, she still didn't dare to give him a word back, even if she asked Granny Li to summon the message on her behalf.

Because in this small courtyard, no half of his actions can hide from his powerful father.

Sui Jin would come to explain her a few words from time to time, so that she didn't have to worry, if the Lord really wanted to kill Zhuo Boy, he would have died long ago even if he had ten lives. It's just that I'm afraid that you have no intention of cultivating, so I made this decision and forced you to cultivate hard to break through the realm. If you want to see him as soon as possible, you should hurry up and practice boxing, and reach the eight-rank realm as soon as possible, and you will be able to leave this plum garden.

Shu Jinran was extremely worried at first, but after being persuaded by Sui Jin several times, his mentality calmed down.

Although she was extremely hostile to her ruthless father, who abandoned his wife and daughter, she continued to practice hard during this time in order to get out of the cage.

Her father has always been a word, saying that he can't break through to the divine realm, and I'm afraid that he will continue to stay in this capped plum garden. As for his attitude towards Zhuo Yuming, she didn't care about it at all, she always insisted that her marriage had nothing to do with him, just treat herself as an orphan without a father and mother.

Sui Jin and Granny Li both knew about her attitude, but they were also quite helpless. This girl was born with a gentle temperament and has always been well-behaved to her elders, but the hatred with her father is something that the two of them have been hard to change for twenty or thirty years.

Of course, her own father also knew about this.

"Uncle Sui, feed me again. You just punch at the eight-rank realm, you don't have to keep your hands, I should be able to break the bottleneck soon. ”

Shu Jinran took the lead in pushing open the door and walked into the hospital, wearing a moon-white outfit that complemented the snow.

Sui Jin shook his head and followed behind.

When this girl learned that Zhuo Yuming was coming to Bingyuan State, she was obviously more enthusiastic. I had just practiced boxing alone for an afternoon, and now I was excited to fight with myself, and it seemed that I was planning to break out of the cage and meet Zhuo Yuming as soon as possible. It's just that even if she breaks through the eighth rank and can step out of this courtyard, the Lord may not be able to let her find that kid.

Looking at the woman in white with high morale and full of energy, Sui Jin smiled helplessly.

The two figures, one black and one white, suddenly rushed away, and in the staggered manner, gusts of wind swept the snowflakes and flew all over the sky.

————————————————

Unlike the other eight states in the Ethereal Spirit Realm, where the seasons are normal, the Icefield Prefecture has a cold winter and heavy snow all year round due to its unique topography. Looking at it from the high heavens, the land of a state is white.

As a gathering place for the demon monks of the entire Ethereal Spirit Realm, the Ice Plains State is also the place where the disputes among the monks of the entire Ethereal Spirit Realm are the most intensive.

Whether it is the exposure of treasures or ordinary verbal disputes, it is not uncommon for monks to fight with each other at the slightest disagreement. As the monk walked along the road, a human head suddenly fell from the sky, smashed at his feet, and rolled twice on his bones. It is not uncommon to encounter bloody corpses on both sides of the road, and they do not cause any fuss from passers-by.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the Ice Plains State, which is like purgatory, can actually be regarded as a country and a country of peace and security.

Because the Ten Thousand Demons Communist who sat in the Ice Plains State had spoken, the monks must not involve ordinary people in fighting. Anyone who kills at will in the world, everyone in the Demon Sect disciples will see it and punish him.

The words of the demon lord are the holy decree in the Icefield State, and the secular kingdom of the Icefield State is peaceful.

After two months of trekking, Zhuo Yuming stepped off the ferry and sighed inadvertently when he stepped on a snow-white earth.

The South Chi State of the Ethereal Spirit Realm is where all demons gather, and the Ice Plains State is a group of demons dancing wildly, and this two states of the south and the north make most people fear them like wolves and tigers, and they are reluctant to set foot in a single step for life.

I don't know what encounters and experiences will be in this Demon Gate Holy Land.

Zhuo Yuming stepped forward and headed north.
