Two months later, Chen Guojing, winter.

The wind is howling, and the wind is cold.

After more than ten days of freezing north winds, the capital of Chen finally snowed heavily.

Snowflakes fell from the gray sky, covering the mud floors, tree branches, and roofs, and the original yellow ground, brown trees, and black tiles all turned jade white.

White expanse, white up and down.

Lin Xiuran sat cross-legged on the roof of a house, closed his eyes and ears, put the tip of his tongue on his mouth, and breathed calmly, breathing slowly and naturally.

The snowflakes covered him with a thick layer of white and painted his black hair and blue clothes, and from a distance, he looked like a snowman piled on the roof.

He had been on the roof at midnight last night, and the snow had begun to fall at midnight.

The heavy snow fell overnight, and the next morning, there was still no intention of stopping, the snow did not decrease but increased, and the sky began to rain lightly, sleet with snow, dripping and crackling on the roof, hitting Lin Xiuran's body, and the cold was even worse.

Lin Xiuran still didn't move.

I don't know how long it has been, Lin Xiuran suddenly opened his eyes, the tip of his tongue no longer touched the roof of his mouth, he opened his tightly closed tongue, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit out the turbid breath in his mouth.

The weather was unusually cold, and the turbid gas, as soon as it exited, turned into a white mist, which was blown away by the wind and dissipated into nothingness.

Lin Xiuran has been in the capital of Chen for more than a month.

He pursued the demon fox who had snatched the mysterious stone.

It's a pity that Miss Mingxin only knows that it is in the capital of Chen Kingdom, but she doesn't know where it is.

As the capital of a country, the capital is naturally prosperous and has a large population, so how easy is it to find out the fox in the vast sea of people?

Even if Lin Xiuran had a unified mirror to search for him, firstly, it was extremely exhausting to search with thoughts, and secondly, if he relied on the unified mirror to search, there would always be dead ends, and he could not know everything.

In the past month, Lin Xiuran searched for an hour every day, but found nothing, and had no way of knowing the trace of the fox.

Lin Xiuran thought that the Mingxin girl was lying to him several times.

The fox may not be in the capital at all, and the Mingxin girl is called a disaster to the east, so that she will go in the opposite direction.

It's a pity that as soon as he had this thought, as soon as he said a few words, he was glared back fiercely by his own female disciple.

However, after coming into contact in the past two months, Lin Xiuran has a general understanding of Miss Mingyue and Miss Mingxin, and knows that they will not deceive themselves.

As a result, he could only blame himself for his poor cultivation for the fruitless search for the fox's traces.

He is now the cultivation of the supreme grandmaster, the pinnacle of martial arts, and the supreme grandmaster is further up, which is to build the foundation.

The thoughts of the supreme grandmaster cannot be compared with the thoughts of the foundation building period, if you break through to the foundation building period, the thoughts will be stronger, and the search for the trace of the fox will naturally be easier and easier than now, and the intensity and accuracy of the search will be better, and within ten days, you will definitely be able to find its traces.

However, in order to break through to the foundation, you must first retrieve the fragment of the Stone of Asking and embed it in the Unified Mirror, so that the Unified Mirror's ability to bind cause and effect will be strengthened, so that you will not be discovered by the powerful enemy after breaking through the foundation.

But this is stuck in an endless loop.

To recover the Stone Fragment of the Question, you need to build the foundation first, but to build the foundation, you must first find the Fragment of the Stone of the Question.

Lin Xiuran had no choice but to continue the search while waiting for the fox to show his fox tail.

"Click-"

Lin Xiuran, who was sitting quietly, twisted his neck and shook his body.

The snowflakes that covered him, almost ice, shook off in clumps and fell to the roof, melting into the rest of the ice.

He stood up, feeling the wind howling on the rooftop, and looking far away.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of buildings in the capital, high or low, new or old, row by row, some people's homes, has risen the milky white smoke.

And in the distance, there is the palace of the Chen Kingdom.

Magnificent, red walls and green tiles, five ridges and six beasts.

It's just that the roof, which took countless ingenuity and ingenuity, is now pressed under a white expanse, which is no different from the roofs in other places.

Before heaven and earth, all things are equal, and there is no difference.

......

Lin Xiuran put his thoughts into his house.

Inside the house, Miss Mingxin had already gotten up.

At this moment, she was meditating at the bedside, practicing the exercises taught to her by Lin Xiuran, and she didn't dare to slack off.

And Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu, the two little lazy cats, hadn't gotten up yet, and lazily hid in the big bed brocade quilt, hugging each other and sleeping.

Luo Xin'er's sleeping appearance has always been not very good, and she likes to move.

In her sleep, her hands unconsciously grabbed Hua Jieyu's waist, and her soft little hands went all the way down the wonderful arc, stroking at the peach petals of Hua Jieyu, who was also in her sleep, was so messed up, she couldn't help but snort, in a daze, smacked her mouth, stretched out her hand, took the two-colored claws away, and said: "Don't make trouble, the concubine is asleep!"

Luo Xin'er's hand was hit by Hua Jieyu, and she was in pain, and then she woke up and turned around.

She opened her eyes and saw Hua Jieyu next to her pillow, and Hua Jieyu woke up after she tossed it like this.

When she opened her eyes, she happened to see Luo Xin'er looking at her with a blushing face.

The two looked at each other, and their faces were red for a while.

"Sister Luo......"

"Flower Sister ......"

It's probably because Xianggong is not here, and because of the matter just now, both of them are a little embarrassed.

After looking at each other for a long time, the two remembered that it was dawn and it was time to get up, so they both went to the bed to find their clothes, and put them on in the bed tent.

Spring is beautiful.

But Lin Xiuran took back his thoughts.

When he saw that the two ladies were awake, he jumped off the roof and returned to the ground.

He quietly opened the door and went out of the house into the street.

Recently, it was freezing cold, and he didn't want his wife to cook by himself, so he froze the white and delicate hands.

So, he braved the snow to buy breakfast for the two ladies and the bright girl.

On the street, a few black sparrows looking for food kept jumping on the ground, like a few drops of ink on white paper.

This is rare.

If it weren't for the heavy snowfall, few cars and horses on the streets, and few pedestrians, how would those timid and fearful sparrows dare to show off their might on this street?

A heavy snowfall immersed the capital in a depression.

The doors and windows are closed, and few open the doors to do business.

Lin Xiuran stepped on the snow and walked along the street.

Under the eaves along the way, except for the ice ridge the size of a baby's arm, there are some homeless beggars.

Because of the cold, these beggars wrapped in their thin clothes, curled up, huddled in the corners of the street, shivering constantly.

There are also some that are motionless.

It's just that I don't know if these people are asleep, hungry and faint, or frozen to death.

Lin Xiuran walked and looked, and after looking for a long time, he found a baked cake stall on a street corner.

The owner of the biscuit stall is a middle-aged man, tall and strong, with the characteristics of a northerner man.

Next to him, there was a little boy who was only four or five years old, and it was probably his son. At this moment, the little boy is holding a copy of the "Three Character Sutra" for enlightenment, reading there.

"At the beginning of man, sex ...... Sex ......"

Lin Xiuran took out dozens of Chen Guo's copper coins from his pocket and stepped forward.

After coming out for a long time, he had to hurry up and buy some baked cakes and soy milk to go back, and he couldn't let the ladies wait in a hurry.
