twenty-six

After the frost fell, it was the Winter Clothes Festival in a blink of an eye, because it was in the Kunlun Domain, many Kunlun disciples took leave and went home to worship their ancestors. In the entire Kunlun, there were almost only Gu Hai, Xia Huairuo and Qin Shuangye left, and Qin Shuangye had never liked to make friends with others, Gu Hai thought about it, and finally came to Xia Huairuo's hospital.

He thought that Xia Huairuo should be as bored as him, so idle that he was worried, but he didn't expect to see Xia Huairuo standing on the roof with his waist in front of him as soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, and there was a map hanging in front of him. "Senior sister, what are you doing? Gu Hai shouted to Xia Huairuo in confusion. The other party did not turn around, but still turned his back to Gu Hai, staring at the map as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, she finally put away the map casually, and said loudly: "I have decided, I will go back to the world this year to have a look! ”

When Gu Hai heard this, he wanted to say no, after all, he had just brought the saber back yesterday, but he didn't want to be taken away again before it was hot. But after thinking about it again, he seemed to really want to go back and take a look, so he asked cautiously: "Then how can we go back, I have no money and no cultivation......"

Hearing this, Xia Huairuo finally turned around, stood on the roof and looked at his little junior brother condescendingly, and then said confidently and proudly: "The last thing I lack is money!" Gu Hai awkwardly tilted his head to look at his senior sister who was standing with her backlight, the dazzling sunlight shone straight into Gu Hai's eyes from behind her, and he couldn't help but think that if Xia Huai was a peacock spirit, he was afraid that it would be time to open the screen at this time.

It was rare that the girl who didn't wear the Kunlun school uniform was dressed in red, and she cast a spell to light up a rune paper. In an instant, the flames burned the rune paper to ashes, and she smiled playfully at Gu Hai, then reached out and snapped her fingers. A flamour, covered in red and gold phoenix feathers, fluttered its wings out of thin air, circled around the roof a few times, and finally stopped by Xia Huairuo's side, she jumped off the roof and came to Gu Hai, raised her chin with satisfaction and said, "Awesome!"

Gu Hai was so shocked that he could barely close his mouth, and it took a long time to extend his thumb with a wow word. The young man, who had never seen such a sacred bird since the day he entered the school, carefully looked at the fowl before and after, and finally buried his face in the gorgeous and fluffy feathers, and then got up contentedly and said, "Senior sister, I'm fine, let's go!"

The beautiful and huge divine bird carried the two of them through the sea of clouds, Xia Huairuo seemed to particularly like the feeling of passing through the clouds, and every time she flew through the clouds, she would let out a burst of excited cheers. I don't know where I went, Gu Hai saw from a distance that the sky on the east side seemed to be different, as if the whole sky was covered with flowing clouds, and a little further down, only a clear sky remained. He asked loudly against the waves of clouds and strong wind, "Senior sister, what is there?"

Xia Huairuo didn't seem to hear clearly because of the high position and the strong wind, but she still roughly guessed what Gu Hai wanted to ask. So she grabbed a few feathers tightly, leaned back hard, and shouted with a side face: "That is the westernmost side of Tianhai Yunzhou, the further east you go, the thinner the clouds, and the sky will gradually turn into sea water, until the flowing clouds completely become like mist and you will reach Penglai Island." ”

Gu Hai looked at those flowing clouds from afar, they flowed slowly in the same direction in a regular manner, quiet and shocking. Before he could regain his senses, the cocktail beneath him began to dive violently. Gu Hai was so frightened that he screamed, causing Xia Huairuo to shout behind him with great disdain: "What's it called, didn't you also drive a cocktail when you went to Kunlun." ”

In an instant, the divine bird passed through the clouds. Unlike the first time, this time the feathers of the ploucher did not ignite a flame, it only tucked its wings slightly so that it could descend faster. Gu Hai leaned down and grabbed the feathers of the pelican tightly, almost burying the whole person in it, he cautiously opened his eyes and looked to the side, the speed was so fast that he could even see the air current. Gu Hai couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, fortunately, he took a few classes seriously and learned something useful, otherwise he would not have died directly on the back of this bird at this time.

To say that the Bird is worthy of being a phoenix divine bird in the end, the two of them arrived in the city where Gu Hai's family is located in less than half a day. In fact, if it weren't for Xia Huairuo's show-off temperament, who was unwilling to use the invisibility spell on the catfish, they could actually be faster. Those who have almost only learned about the Kunlun Domain in the news saw a big phoenix falling from the sky, and they all rushed to tell each other, blocking the streets and alleys. In desperation, Xia Huairuo had no choice but to drive the Ori to find an extremely difficult to enter ravine and land, and it took them a long time to climb down the roadless mountainside.

Gu Hai originally wanted to take Xia Huairuo to his house to have a look, but after thinking about it, there didn't seem to be anything unusual at home, so he gave up again, turned his head and walked towards the alley where he used to go on holidays when he was a child.

Completely different from the high-rise buildings outside, Gu Hai led Xia Huairuo into an alley paved with ancient bluestone slabs, with low houses with white walls and black tiles on both sides. The houses look quite old but not dilapidated, and although they are not as simple and solemn as the buildings in Kunlun, they are also extraordinarily elegant.

There are many roadside stalls selling snacks in the alley, and the most fragrant thing is the small cart that sells fried goods, Gu Hai remembered that he used to watch other children eat all kinds of snacks that had just been fried out of the pan and burst with oil, but he had to save up for several days to buy a small bunch. After coming back to his senses and thinking about it again, even if he was already a big child now and was lucky enough to be selected by Kunlun, he still had no money to buy it to eat, so Gu Hai swallowed his saliva even more sadly.

Although Xia Huairuo looked very arrogant, she was actually a delicate person, she saw Gu Hai staring at the cart for a long time but did not take a step closer, and immediately understood most of it. So he walked to the stall and said to the fat proprietress who was a little fat: "Auntie, give me ten skewers of tenderloin, sausages, rice cakes, and bones." ”

When those fried skewers with a wonderful aroma were handed to him, Gu Hai was actually very embarrassed, he blushed and just wanted to refuse, Xia Huairuo said fiercely: "I seem to have bought too much, you hurry up and help me finish eating, and I have to go somewhere else to play!" Although Gu Hai knew in his heart that Xia Huairuo said this on purpose, he could only take it when he saw her tone like this, and ate happily.

"Do you think there is a strange smell in this alley?" Seeing that Gu Hai had finally finished eating, Xia Huairuo asked.

Gu Hai shook his head a little suspiciously, sniffed the air again, and then replied, "Food?" or the smell of ink?"

"No, behind the food and the scent of ink, it smells like some kind of plant, and there is a smell of medicine that I have never smelled before. Xia Huairuo closed her eyes and took a deep breath into the air, as if thinking or recalling, before she spoke again after a long time: "It's not like the smell of worldly things, and there is some sweetness in the cold...... There is also some bitterness. ”

Xia Huairuo opened her eyes, pulled Gu Hai into a corner where no one was around, and then took out a talisman seal from her pocket, she seriously cast the spell on the talisman seal several times, but there was no response: "Hey, if there is something non-mundane here, this talisman seal should automatically find it." Am I really thinking too much?"

Gu Hai saw that Xia Huairuo was looking confused and didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he began to look at himself, he counted the roof tiles, kicked the raised green bricks twice, and finally decided to look outside.
