When the lights of thousands of homes are extinguished in the winter night, when the people who drink heartily fall asleep, when a certain teenager walks on the wind and snow and looks forward to the future, a god chariot also slowly moves forward on the long street with snow.

Among the gods, the prince of the demon clan, Lu Xingyi, sat quietly cross-legged, his robes slightly raised with the wind and snow, his red golden eyes flashed, and his jade-like cheeks showed a thoughtful look.

"Your Highness, why didn't you refute Na Yue's wandering words before, the most powerful person in their Terran Taifu is Wang Yuhuai of Nanyue, what confidence do you have to compete with you?"

Lu Xingyi's stay here are all direct subordinates of the Jinwu clan, in addition to having the cultivation of the Hopeful Habitat, he has followed him for many years, and has seen his supreme demeanor, and some words are naturally said directly.

Seeing that his crown prince did not answer, the demon servant said angrily: "Is he really so arrogant in the Divine Dynasty? Don't you really think that anyone can stop you? If it weren't for the lack of Taiyin's power that day, otherwise His Highness would have already stepped into the realm of the Great Divine Powers, where could they be allowed to hold on here?"

"Lie!" Lu Xingyi shouted, a hint of displeasure on his face.

"After all, cultivation is self-cultivation, if I need to rely on such external objects to break through the realm of returning to the void, then where will my Dao heart be placed?"

The curtain of the god was blown open by the wind, blowing in flakes of snow.

Lu Xingyi became very calm, without any extra emotions, opened his palm, took the snowflake that fell in his hand, and before it melted, he clenched his fists, as if he was about to crush something......

The incompleteness of the power of Taiyin is indeed an important reason for him to break through to the realm of returning to the void, if he can break through to that realm as soon as possible, and then enter the back mountain of Taifu, he will definitely be completely sure, although he is not invincible at this time, but there is always some uneasiness in his heart.

On that day, on the Jialan Mountain, in front of the Hanshan Temple, there was a Terran monk in the Divine Mind Realm who arrived at the Hanshan Temple one step ahead of the Kunlun heir Xuan Ion who knew the dream.

As proud as he was, he had to admit that the Terran monk had an indescribable aura.

His future is bound to leave a name in heaven and earth, and the Golden Crow clan and even the entire demon clan will prosper under his leadership, and then reproduce the grandeur of the demon clan's heavenly court ruling the heavens and the earth in the past.

......

......

The snow continued to fall intermittently, like a sluice gate that had been held for a long time, and showed no sign of stopping.

After one night, the entire imperial city turned silvery white, and the branches of the trees beside the road were pressed with a thick layer of snow, which looked a little more colorful.

The boots squeaked on the ground, and the people of Los Angeles were enthusiastic about clearing their paths, and the children also used the gift of heaven and earth as a novelty toy.

Squeaks, rattles, laughter, wind and snow......

A horse-drawn carriage drove over a rare stretch of unspoiled snow, leaving two deep ruts.

The windows opened diagonally through a gap, and snowflakes kept drifting in, then falling into the car and turning into water, and then into gas, and at the same time the snowflakes came in with the bustling noise of Los Angeles.

As the noise grew quieter and quieter, until it was inaudible, the carriage began to move slowly, and the sound of wind and snow that could be heard in the ears was suddenly amplified, and perhaps because of the trees on either side, the silence changed to the whimper of the north wind.

In contrast to the cold environment outside the carriage, the inside of the carriage was steaming upward, and through the gap in the window, two figures could be seen inside.

One of them was holding a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, while the other was looking out the car window in a daze.

Because of the snow in the past two days, the Ministry of Industry of the Divine Dynasty dispatched a large number of people to be responsible for cleaning the road, and the road in Los Angeles has been able to pass normally because of the cooperation of neighbors, but obviously, the road outside the city is a little inadequate.

Therefore, in order not to delay classes, the students of Taifu who live in Los Angeles simply live in Taifu during the period of wind and snow.

Yuan Youtao stepped into the carriage in the reluctant eyes of Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, while Ning Shu stepped into the carriage of Yuan Youtao, who came to pick him up from the academy, in the strange eyes of his neighbor surnamed Mu.

"I've been in Los Angeles for many years, it's rare to see such a big snow, and I don't know if it's snowing in Jinling City?" Yuan Youtao put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and said.

"Speaking of which, what do you do when it's snowing? Don't tell me you're just as fugue as you are now?"

"That's probably ...... Listen to the sound of snow falling?"

"Hypocrisy, this is too hypocritical. ”

Ning Shu tilted his head when he heard this, thought about it carefully and said: "It doesn't snow very often in Ping'an City, but if it rains a lot, I often use it in the courtyard with peace ......."

"Who is An Yi?" Yuan Youtao interjected.

"She's the daughter of the city lord, so it's probably ...... My sister. Ning Shu sorted out his interpersonal relationships in Ping'an City, and then said: "When it snows, we will use the snow in the yard to pile some interesting shapes, such as houses, hills, flowers, ......."

"Like people?"

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't look like a human being, because the head is too round. ”

"What's it called? Building a snowman?"

"What a concise name!"

Ning Shu nodded, expressing his approval of Yuan Youtao's ability to name him, and then he continued to think back to the days when he spent the winter in Ping'an City in previous years.

"At the coldest time of winter, the Anning River freezes over, and children can glide on the ice, but older children can't, because the ice can't handle that weight. ”

When Ning Shu said this, Yuan Youtao silently looked at his stomach.

"Uncle Wu often makes fish soup, the milky white soup base, fresh and a little sweet, very warm. ”

Yuan Youtao swallowed silently when he heard this.

"The city is very lively, and in general, except for the mansions of the wealthy merchants, there is nothing too luxurious, very simple but also very warm. ”

"That's pretty good, when I was in Jinling City, every winter when it snowed, the maids and servants would gather in the courtyard, carry the big round table over, take out the ingredients that had been prepared a long time ago, and the whole family would sit together to eat, and also play with firecrackers and the like, I still remember that Lin Zhi threw a firecracker into the place where Wang Baimian squatted in the pit......"

"Los Angeles is a little different, after all, it is an imperial city, it feels more lively, my favorite is the sugar gourd on the street of Nancheng, hawthorn-flavored, full and round, especially the layer of syrup wrapped outside, it tastes sweet. ”

......

......

The sound of the wind and snow is still there.

The seemingly warm greetings in the carriage were not diluted by the serious atmosphere.

"Is it really a person?" said Yuan Youtao after a long time.

"One person. ”

"Occupy a quota?"

"Take up the quota. ”

"Fuck...... How can there be such a tricky rule!"

"I remember you said before that if something is rarer and more attractive, I think the person who set this test should know this. ”

The two of them discussed the assessment of the Taifu Houshan in the near future, and the exact news has been passed down, this time only one person is recruited in the Houshan, and the demon prince Lu Xingyi, who came from afar, does not have special treatment, but wants to participate in the assessment with everyone.

As for the method and the content of the test, it has not been revealed.

When the Taifu students learned the news that day, they fell silent with a moment of joy, and then became depressed.

After everyone had close contact with the prince of the demon clan in Qingyafang, many people had already guessed that the prince of the demon clan might become the final winner of the Houshan assessment, but they still had a fluke mentality, thinking that it was possible that the Taifu Houshan would accept two people or that the prince of the demon clan would not participate in the assessment.

But the reality is cruel, and often the things that people don't want to see are the most likely to happen.

"I heard that Wang Yuhuai has been very silent recently, sitting on the second floor of Tianyaguan all day long, in a daze. ”

"Didn't you notice that I'm also silent?"

"Hiss!" Yuan Youtao gasped and said, "Why do I think you suddenly became very confident after that night." ”

"Knowing that I can't do anything wrong, I seem to see you on Mount Garan that day,"

Ning Shu touched his cheek when he heard this, and said, "I didn't know that it was Lu Xingyi sitting in front of Hanshan Temple that day. ”

"And the purpose is different, this time it can't be like the time when Luyang watched the moon, it doesn't matter, this time there must be a result!"

"This is a difficult thing, otherwise I will get you some strong pills and you prepare them first, if the assessment content is a fight, you can still hold two more moves under the demon prince, so as not to be too embarrassed in front of your classmates. ”

Yuan Youtao waved his fleshy hand with a fierce expression.

"Then I'm afraid you don't have to bring a few elixirs over, and you also want the kind that can bring the dead back to life, if there is a fight, maybe I will burp before I even pull out my sword. Ning Shu quipped along with Yuan Youtao's words.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Youtao patted Ning Shu's shoulder with some sympathy, sighed and said: "The most annoying thing is that he actually doesn't have the content and scope of the exam, otherwise we can spend a lot of money to buy some real test papers and the like, at least with your level, I hope it will be much greater." ”

"But that day, I went to ask the old professor, and the old professor said that in all the assessments in Taifu, there is a truth, that is, everyone is on the same starting line. ”

"A starting line, knowing that the dream realm and the hope habitat are also a starting line?" Ning Shu was dumbfounded.

"This ...... Are they all cultivators, do they count as a starting line?"

Ning Shu thought about Lu Xingyi's demeanor in front of Hanshan Temple, and thought of the pride on Qingyafang, the firm belief generated by walking alone on the snow that night was being ravaged like a cold wind.
