Chapter 248: Snow Lotus
The wooden buildings of the mountain villa are continuous, scattered and arranged under a towering snow-capped mountain, the pavilions are connected, and many slaves can be seen in the coming and going.
Jiang Yi looked at the villa and saw the four big characters "Jinguang Villa" written on the plaque at the door.
Now the sun was obscured by clouds and mist, and the sky was gray.
Soon after, it began to snow.
Jiang Yi said to Daji and them: "I'll go and explore first, you are waiting for me here." ”
Daji hurriedly shouted: "No, last night you left us and went to the monster's cottage by yourself, but you didn't come back for most of the day, and I was worried about death." ”
"Yes, yes. It's freezing to death. "Princess Longji is also a little aggrieved.
Fox Xiaolu followed: "It's too boring to wait, and Xiaolu won't do it." ”
"What danger can there be in a small mountain village. The sea cat fairy also said.
Jiang Yi was really powerless to refute the four of them, so he had to say, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go in together." ”
They all landed in front of the door of Cotai Hills.
When the servant who was guarding the gate saw them, he immediately went in and gave an offering.
After a while, an old woman walked out of it, looked at Jiang Yi and them, and came up and asked, "I don't know how many people are?"
Jiang Yi bowed and said: "We are disciples of the Qingqiu Sect in the south, and it is the first time we have come to the North Cold Ice Pole, and we can't stand the cold. Passing by the treasure land, can you ask for a cup of hot tea?"
"Oh, Qingqiu?" the old woman recalled slightly, "but in the midst of a hundred thousand mountains?"
Daji nodded: "Exactly, mother-in-law has been there?"
"I've been there, but it's been a long time ago. The old woman sighed, "That's really from afar." ”
She led Jiang Yi and them into the villa.
For example, there are few visitors to this villa, so those slaves are very afraid of life, and when they saw Jiang Yi and them, they all avoided them.
"None of these people have seen the world, and it's all about fuss. The old woman said, "My little master is frail and sickly, so I don't see outsiders on weekdays, don't blame you." ”
Jiang Yi and Daji both felt a little strange and looked at each other.
"Even if you are sick, you should naturally protect yourself. ”
The old woman took them to a main hall and served them hot tea.
Jiang Yi smelled it, this tea was clear and fragrant, and it was a good tea.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this northern cold ice pole can be said to be inaccessible.
Why did the owner build a mountain cottage in such a place?
And I only heard the old woman say that the little master was weak and sick, and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so she didn't talk about the master.
It seems that the owner of this villa is not at home.
The huge villa, the pavilion is exquisite, and the tea is also of the highest quality, it seems that the owner of this villa is by no means ordinary.
At this moment, there was a "snap".
A slave accidentally broke a teacup while pouring tea, and the old woman frowned, and the slave immediately knelt down and shouted "ahhh
The slave turned out to be a mute.
"Drag it down, and beat it with a hundred rods. ”
At this time, two strong men walked in outside the door, set up the slave, and said the word "ah".
They are also mute.
Jiang Yi's heart was cold, could it be that the slaves in this villa are all dumb?
"Mother-in-law, it's inevitable that people make mistakes. Unintentionally, please spare her mother-in-law, or we will all be embarrassed. Daji took pity on the servant and rose up to persuade him.
The old woman took a deep breath and waved her hand: "That's it, that's it, for the sake of the guests, I'll spare you this time, if there is a next time, I will definitely punish you heavily." ”
The slave hurriedly bowed to Daji.
"Can't anyone in this villa speak?" said Princess Longji was surprised. 77 eBooks
The old woman nodded: "My master is kind-hearted, and he has taken in many wandering mutes to come back as slaves over the years. Although mutes can't speak, they also have the advantage of being able to keep secrets. ”
"So there are a lot of secrets in the villa?" said the sea cat fairy suddenly.
This was too rude, Jiang Yi covered the mouth of the sea cat fairy, and said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, don't blame, this dead cat likes to talk nonsense, and it's best if it becomes dumb one day." ”
The old woman looked at the fox Xiaolu and the sea cat fairy, and said, "You two spirit beasts can speak human language, and it seems that the Tao is not shallow." ”
"You are the spirit beast......" The sea cat fairy was about to say something, but Jiang Yi covered his mouth again.
"I'm a naughty spirit animal, don't blame my mother-in-law. ”
The old woman said thoughtfully: "I don't know how many people have come from afar, where are they going?"
Jiang Yi said deliberately: "I didn't go anywhere, but the master asked me and my senior sister to come to the North Cold Ice Pole to experience and practice." ”
He had the intention to look for traces of the four inconsistencies in the villa, so he didn't talk about going to the Wuji Abyss.
"There are many monsters in the North Cold Ice Pole, and the ice and snow are cold, but it is a good place to practice. The old woman walked to the window and looked at the wind and snow outside the window, "The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger for a while, let's take a rest here first, and then go on the road when the wind and snow stop." ”
Jiang Yibai said: "Thank you so much for this, mother-in-law." ”
If you can stay in this villa, you can take the opportunity to find the four inconsistencies, which is exactly what Jiang Yi wanted.
After the old woman left, Jiang Yi whispered to the fox Xiaolu: "You smell it again, are the four discords really here?"
Fox Xiaolu sniffed it again, and said suspiciously: "Strange, the smell seems to be much weaker, I can be sure that it is here, but in which direction, I can't smell it anymore." ”
"In that case, I will look for it first, and you will wait for me here. If my mother-in-law asks, you will say that I will relieve myself. ”
With that, Jiang Yi quietly climbed out of the window.
At this time, the ice and snow were in a hurry, and the ground was very slippery, Jiang Yifang stepped on the roof and slid out a few steps.
He moved his true qi to his feet, and then he stood firmly, and stepped on the roof, without making a sound, and he really stepped on the snow without a trace.
As soon as he jumped into the backyard, he saw a pond.
The snow fell into the pond and melted away in an instant.
There is a snow lotus on the pond, which is snow-white in color and glows with a faint light.
On the boardwalk in front of the pond, sat a young man in blue, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
The old woman was waiting for him.
"Mother-in-law, who's coming outside?"
"It's a disciple of Qingqiu. ”
"Qingqiu?"
"The 100,000 mountains in the south are far from here. ”
"What are they doing all the way to the North Ice Pole?"
"It is said to be an experience, but the old man can see that the purpose of their trip is definitely not so simple. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's heart tightened: This mother-in-law is really smart.
"Will they find out what you're doing?"
"Young master, rest assured, the old decay has set up the altar in a void, and they can't find it. ”
The Void managed to the altar, Jiang Yi remembered what he had done in Wu Qian's house in Guyue County before.
"I wish they would find out and ruin all your shady deeds. ”
"Young master......" The old woman was shocked, and she stopped talking.
"Look, this snow lotus is blooming. ”
"yes, it's open, it's beautiful. If the young master likes snow lotus, I will ask you to plant a few more plants another day. ”
"No, one is enough. It looked like it was alone, and it looked like me. The young master dusted off the snowflakes on his blue coat, "Do you know why I like snow lotus?"
"Old and stupid. ”
"Because it is born of mud, but it is not stained by it. ”
