Chapter Forty-Eight: White Beaver Snow Mountain
has been trained by the shadow guard, but Zhixue is not much interested in rouge powder silk satin. Seeing an old man in front of him selling sugar gourds, the bright red hawthorns were wrapped in sugar, and his delicate appearance instantly became greedy. Zhixue walked over, "Uncle, how did you sell this sugar gourd?"
"A string of five cents. The old man replied with a smile.
"Why do you like this kind of thing that children love to eat?" Ziying saw that Zhixue picked out two strings of sugar gourds and handed Lao Su a piece of broken silver.
"I just love the sweet and sour taste. Zhixue took a bite and handed another string to Purple Shadow, "Do you want to eat?"
Purple Shadow took it, but she didn't eat it. Looking at her white-clothed Shengxue, her skin was like congealed cream, there was sugar coating standing on her cherry red lips, her eyes were full of smiles, and her teeth opened lightly, "Why don't you eat?"
With a move in his heart, he took her into his arms and leaned over to lick off the sugar residue that was stuck to her lips. He couldn't control himself and wanted to kiss deeply, but was avoided by Zhixue.
"There are so many people here!" Zhixue blushed.
The pedestrians around looked at the two of them with a smile, but they felt that this man was talented and beautiful, and he was very envious.
Weaving snow skin, turned around and fled the crowd, Purple Shadow chased after her, holding her hand, and the two of them strolled down the street, the smile on their faces as bright as the warm sun.
Huo Wu stood in the crowd, watching the two of them go away, but he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "Childe!"
The smile on her face faded away, and the blankness between her eyebrows made her look lost. Stroking his left chest, he felt a faint throbbing in his chest, and Fire Dance felt a lot of pain there. Why is she so uncomfortable every time she sees Childe and Zhixue being intimate?
Ever since she felt her chest throb, Fire Dance felt that every day was very difficult.
She was dazed and helpless, why on earth was that?
Standing alone in the sun, Fire Dance felt the burning sensation of the scorching sun, and looked down at her feet, her own shape being photocopied on the ground. She shook her arms slightly, pulled up her skirt and swayed it from side to side, watching the shadow sway with her movements, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
...
Early in the morning of the second day, Ziying and his party bid farewell to Yu Yao and them.
Yan Cang insisted on staying in Ping'an Town, waiting for Yu Yao's hand injury to heal before setting off, the cold on the white fox snow mountain was very unfavorable to Yu Yao's injury.
Purple Shadow led a few middle and upper shadow guards, bought three carriages, and headed towards the White Beaver Snow Mountain.
After about three days of driving in the direction of the east, they clearly felt a shivering chill in the air. I have been driving non-stop for more than half a month before I reached the foot of the White Beaver Snow Mountain.
Everyone looked up, and the snow-capped mountain in front of them reached into the sky, and some plants were sparsely grown on the mountain. Along the foot of the hill, there is a narrow path with several thatched houses on the side of the road, and an elderly couple is sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
Seeing the living person, the two were slightly nervous.
"I seem to have seen this person!" the old man said, pointing to the portrait of Zihua that Zhiyu held in his hand, and said with great certainty.
One night I saw a man who was about to freeze to death, and I wanted him to come into the house and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up for a while, but as if he was in a hurry, he went straight to the White Beaver Mountain. I can't remember the appearance, but the figure is about the same. "Thinking that this place is also inaccessible, this old couple should not be mistaken.
Ziying looked at the snow-capped mountain in front of her, and a feeling of unease inexplicably rose in her heart. "Zhiyu, you come up the mountain with me to have a look. ”
Huo Wu stepped forward and walked in front of Purple Shadow, "Childe, I am most familiar with the Snow Mountain, let's go with me!" Purple Shadow hesitated, Huo Wu grew up in the Snow Mountain since he was a child, so it's okay to take it with him. But he looked at Zhixue's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and still opened his mouth, "Zhixue, you also follow, and the others are waiting here to meet Zhifeng." ”
The four of them hiked up the snowy mountain.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the cold air on this snow-capped mountain was suffocating, and the four of them walked slower and slower, and as soon as they reached the halfway point of the second snow-capped mountain, they could no longer walk.
"Childe, it's too cold, let's go back!" Zhiyu shrunk his hands in his sleeves, his cheeks flushed from the cold.
Purple Shadow didn't answer him, but looked at Fire Dance. Huo Wu didn't seem to sense the cold, standing in the snow in thin clothes, she looked around and shook her head at Purple Shadow, "Childe, there are no people here for a month. But......" A smile tugged at the corner of Huo Wu's mouth, "Someone looks like they're coming to pick us up!"
Before Huo Wu's words fell, I saw a white shadow under the pine tree not far away, and at first glance I couldn't find anything, but after a closer look, I saw a fox covered in snow-white fur, hiding next to the snowdrift under the pine tree, looking at the four of them vigilantly.
Purple Shadow pointed in the direction of due north, "Go there and have a look!"
Just climbed a hill, and below was a low-lying valley full of pine trees, and there were more and more foxes in the trees. They bounced back and forth, chirping uneasily.
Suddenly, a wolf roar came out of nowhere, and the foxes instantly scattered and disappeared without a trace. Just as Fire Dance was wondering, four or five assassin-like men in black masked clothes suddenly flashed from behind the pine trees, armed with long swords, and attacked the four of them.
There was a fierce fight, and there was a rumbling sound above the valley, and the group of people seemed to be afraid of something, fighting and retreating. Looking up, the echo of the fight alarmed the valley, and the snow above the mouth of the valley was shaky.
Just as he wanted to order the others to retreat quickly, he found that Zhixue and Zhiyu chased after the group and disappeared into the pine forest. The purple shadow hurriedly retreated outside the valley, and with a loud bang, the entire valley collapsed.
Purple Shadow felt a strange aura coming from behind her, only to find that there were already people waiting, and three women dressed in snow-white animal skins looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces. "Fire Dance! Long time no see!"
Ziying looked at the three people but looked at Huo Wu suspiciously, but Huo Wu was stunned, "Bai Rao?"
"Huo Wu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are becoming more and more like a person!" The woman named Bai Rao, the head of the three, looked at Ziying, but said with a smile: "Isn't such a handsome son your Langjun? Welcome to our white fox clan as a guest! Our queen predicts that there will be distinguished guests coming to the door, Bai Rao has been waiting for a long time, please come with me!" After speaking, he walked in front and led the way.
Purple Shadow hesitated but followed, and Fire Dance beside him explained to him.
The white beavers have not been seen for many years, and the world thinks they are extinct, but they do not want to submit to the rule of mortals, so they hide in the snowy mountains and claim to be kings.
The white beaver queen of this generation is Bai Rao's sister White Demon, they are twin sisters, they look similar, but their personalities are worlds apart. This Bai Rao grew up with Huo Wu since she was a child, and Huo Wu has no heart, so the two can't talk about any feelings.
Just as a playmate.
I don't know how long I have walked in this white world, Ziying suddenly feels not very cold, and the green trees around him are gradually increasing, and the clear spring and green grass are very beautiful.
Purple Shadow looked at the valley in front of her, thinking that this white raccoon tribe had really found a paradise. The north wind is howling outside the valley, the ice and snow are snowy, and the valley is like spring all year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
"Childe!" Weaving Yu panted and chased after him, "My subordinates have been derelict in their duties and have lost those assassins." Looking for the footprints on the snow, he quickly followed, and if he got lost, he was afraid that he would freeze to death in the snowy mountains.
Purple Shadow didn't see Weaving Snow, "Where's Weaving Snow?"
Zhi Yu was a little panicked, "Isn't she with you?" Seeing the anxious look between Gongzi's eyebrows, Zhi Yu was very worried. "It's already snowing outside the valley, and our footprints will soon be buried, and Weaving Snow will definitely get lost!
Purple Shadow raised her hand, "Let's go to Fire Dance! Fire Dance is not afraid of the cold, and she won't get lost, I'm more at ease if she goes!"
Fire Dance smiled and strode out of the valley. Being trusted by Childe makes her very happy.
There are many large and small wooden houses in the valley, but there are few people walking around, and the silence is a little weird.
In front of the house and behind the house, there are scattered some unknown flowers, which are bright and dazzling, and the fragrance is overflowing. There are a lot of boulders here, there are all kinds of mushrooms on the stones, most of which are eaten daily, and there are occasionally some colorful mushrooms, and insects and ants dare not approach.
Bai Rao, who was standing in front of her and leading the way, led them to a very tall and luxurious wooden house, smiled politely, and said, "You guys go in first! The queen has been waiting for a long time, and the queen will tell you everything you want to know!"
Purple Shadow didn't hesitate and strode into the room.
I saw a woman sitting on the simple and wide high hall, her bumpy body was wrapped in silver-white clothes with snow-white fur, her silver hair was combed into a towering bun, silver eyebrows, silver pupils, delicate red lips slightly pursed, and she leaned on the beauty couch in a charming manner.
Although her face is very similar to Bai Rao's, the queen's temperament is shocking.
Seeing the purple shadow come in, she smiled slightly and put down a little fox that was hugging in her arms. "Your guests are coming, it's really brilliant!"
Ziying bowed slightly, and made a salute with both hands, "I have admired the queen's name for a long time!
"Since we are destined to meet today, I can be regarded as having a request for the son. The white demon got straight to the point, she slowly walked down the high seat, slowly walked to the front of everyone, picked up a letter held by the maid standing on the side, and handed it to Ziying with her own hands.
Ziying picked it up, but he was a little surprised to see the content, he looked at the white demon puzzled, waiting for her explanation.
"My white beaver clan has lived in seclusion in the snowy mountains for nearly a hundred years, thinking that we are beast spirits, or it is better to stay away from you humans. This is a letter of contract, and I also ask Gongzi to bring it to your Majesty Emperor Yan, our white beaver clan will no longer be under the control of your Yan Dynasty from now on, and will establish itself as a country, hoping that we can always be close neighbors!"
