bad

Rust, rustle, rustle.

It was snowing heavily, and on the stone steps that grew so long that they could not see the end, a boy in a navy blue robe took a broom and swept away the snow on the stone steps.He did it very meticulously and patiently. He lowered his head and was extremely focused. His round eyes were half-downcast, and his expression was solemn, as if sweeping snow was an extremely important matter.

Because it was too cold, the moss under the stone steps was blue-gray.

Step by step upward, he scanned for a long time, and finally reached the halfway up the mountain.He stopped, looking at the hazy mountain top hidden in the snow and mist, and let out a breath of white air.

The little boy raised his hand and touched under the corner of his right eye. There was an exquisite snowflake there, which was lit by his master. They used to be a pair, but now only his one is left.

"It's another day..." He murmured, staring at the top of the mountain in a daze.

day to day.

The time seems to be frozen by the severe cold, endlessly long, so that the job he hated the most in the past has now become the only way to pass the time.

Apart from this, he really didn't know what else he could do.

The girl in the fleece came down slowly from the steps. Her skin was fair, but her cheeks had no color on her cheeks, and her pair of jet-black eyes made her face as white as paper. She looked like she was only ten years old. In the snow-white fur jacket, because of the cold, he folded his hands in front of his chest, and exhaled a faint white breath from his pale lips.

Northwest looked up at her, frowned and said, "What are you doing down here?"

The girl raised her slender eyebrows and asked, "Why, I can't come down?"

She is not very old, but the peerless color is already visible in the facial features. This raised eyebrow movement is extremely beautiful, with a delicate charm that only belongs to a girl, and also implies a charming style.

"...Up to you," Northwest curled his lips, "Leave a way."

The girl went up one step.

They were like this, Northwest swept one step, and the girl went up one step. After ten steps, Northwest finally got impatient and stopped the broom, "Are you bored?"

The girl said, "Not as boring as you."

"..." Northwest retorted speechlessly.

The girl said again: "Sweeping every day, 130 years, what's the use?"

Northwest didn't want to pay attention to her, so he just stepped over the step where the girl was, and swept his head down.

The girl snorted, "Wooden stake."

Having said that, she didn't leave, and continued to follow the northwest direction until another woman flew and landed beside them.

The woman also looks very young, with black eyebrows and starry eyes, with slender and upward eye tails, she is peerless, but her eyes are too quiet, and her plain black clothes add a bit of vicissitudes to her indifference.

"Nai Nai, how many times have I told you, it's too cold outside, don't run around."

The girl smiled at the woman, completely at odds with her attitude towards Northwest just now, "I know, mother, it's not cold today."

Lou Liuyi held her cold hand, frowned half blamed half worried: "It's not cold yet? Come back with me."

She said that she spread a layer of light on her body, covered the girl from head to toe, and flew with her arms around the girl. When she passed by the northwest, she paused, "You should finish sweeping and go back soon. In another hour, Fan Ye It's time to come."

Northwest nodded, "Understood."

An hour later, Fan Ye arrived on time.

Yinjiao turned into a human body and landed. He was familiar with the road, crossed the long-withered ice flower sea, and arrived at the ice lake in the back mountain. Northwest was already waiting there. Seeing him coming, he bowed his hands and saluted him, "King Jiao."

"Well," Fan Ye responded, and walked straight to the lake, scanning the surroundings with his narrow eyes, "isn't the little fox here?"

Northwest replied: "Mrs. Lou is building a pill for her."

As he spoke, he handed over a short dagger, the handle was engraved with the shape of a dragon, and the blade was full of cold light, obviously very sharp.

Fan Ye took it, and said mockingly: "Half human, half demon, what else can you expect if you haven't produced a demon pill in 130 years? The eight-tailed fox is reluctant to give up."

Northwest corrected with a blank expression: "She has a demon pill."

Fan Ye sneered, playing with the dagger, "With that size, can it be considered a demon pill?"

Northwest really wanted to roll his eyes at him, but held back, lowered his head and said respectfully: "King Jiao, the time has come."

"What are you urging?" Fan Ye raised his eyebrows, "How can I not know?"

That's what he said, but he still jumped up quickly and flew towards the center of the ice lake.

His toes were on the ice, and when his wrist flipped, the silver light of the dagger drew a circular phantom in mid-air, cutting towards the wrist of the other hand——

The first time it didn't pierce, he frowned and pressed it down with a little force.

Beads of blood gushed out immediately, and each drop fell on the ice, forming a bunch of cold plum blossoms.

The wound healed quickly, and he had to make another cut. He didn't turn over his sleeve to cover the wound until he felt that it was almost done, and looked down at the ice.

The blood that fell on it was disappearing, and in less than a moment, there was no trace left on the ice.

He looked at it quietly for a while, then flew back to the shore, casually threw the rolled dagger to the northwest, and said displeasedly, "Can you find a sharper one?"

Northwest sighed, "Yes."

In the past 130 years, Lou Liuyi has found countless strange soldiers, most of them within a few days, not because these strange soldiers are bad, but because the dragon's scales are too hard, they have to be cut with magical weapons blessed with mana, but they have long been severed from the heavens. If there is no contact, it can even be said that there is no balance, where can I borrow the magic weapon that can break the dragon's scales?

It was not easy for Lou Liuyi to find these in the human world and the demon world.

In fact, Fanye also knew about this, and he didn't mean to embarrass the Northwest on purpose, he just complained casually, cutting blood every day, he always came on time, for 130 years, he didn't pull a day, if it wasn't too cold on Buzhou Mountain, He was also transformed by a snake, and he could not stand the cold most, and he was afraid that he would live directly in the mountains.

There was still no movement on the lake.

For so many years, so many days and nights, every day has been waiting with hope, and every day has been spent in disappointment. Northwest has gotten used to it, but he doesn't feel too depressed. He said calmly: "Thank you, King Jiao, walk slowly. .”

Fan Ye waved his hand casually.

Northwest sent him to the gate of the enchantment.

Fan Ye glanced at the tens of thousands of stone steps leading down the mountain, "Sweeping every day, aren't you tired?"

Northwest shook his head: "Not tired."

Fan Ye mocked: "Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take a step up."

Northwest also glanced down the stone steps, but the snow and fog were too heavy to see far away. He looked back and said, "I didn't sweep it for him."

Send Fanye away, and return to the back mountain in the northwest.

The girl wrapped in white fur was squatting by the lake, poking the ice with her tender fingertips, and didn't turn her head when she heard the footsteps, "Is there still no movement today?"

"Well," Northwest walked over, "Where is Mrs. Lou?"

The girl supported her chin with one hand, "I went to find medicine for me."

Northwest nodded, "Madam Lou is not easy, don't run around if you have nothing to do."

The girl refused to accept: "I was just walking in the mountains, where did I run around?"

Xixi said: "It's too cold in the mountains, it's not good for your health, you really don't want to move out with Mrs. Lou?"

The girl turned her head and stared at him, "How many times have you asked? How many times do I need to tell you? No, we won't leave, you are so annoying."

The corner of Northwest's mouth twitched, "...you don't know good people."

The girl clapped her hands and stood up. She was about the same height as Xibei, raised her small chin and said, "You are the one who doesn't know good people. My mother knows how to repay her kindness. If she leaves too, you will be the only one left in the mountain. How can you stop me?" There are so many provocative monsters living outside?"

"……what ever."

In the past, Xibei thought, he would have quarreled with her with arms akimbo.

but now……

Just go and cook for her.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen. Xibei stood on a small stool and quickly put the cut vegetables into the pan. The oil and water splashed out. He didn't care at all. He turned the spatula, seasoned, and cooked it all in one go.

When the food was served, Lou He Nai was sitting in the courtyard, staring at the wind and snow outside the barrier in a daze.

"Eat." Northwest set the table and chopsticks for her.

The girl withdrew her gaze, picked up the chopsticks, fiddled with the vegetable leaves twice, and said disgustedly: "After all these years, why is your cooking skill still so poor?"

"... I like to eat or not."

Although they look about the same age, he has lived for nearly 2000 years anyway, and he can't argue with Lou Henai, a child in his [-]s. What's more, Lou Liuyi has really helped a lot, and taking care of Lou Henai is a matter of course. should.

Half human and half demon, the demon core is much smaller than ordinary monsters, physically weak, needs to eat and drink, and is afraid of the cold. If Lou Liuyi hadn't poured demon power into her demon core every day to keep her alive, I'm afraid her life would have come to an end.

When Lou Liuyi came back in the evening, his body seemed to be injured, and his tired face could not be concealed.She handed a very sharp tooth to Northwest, and said: "It's the tooth of the one on Mount Xuxu, let Fan Ye try it tomorrow."

Northwest nodded, but didn't ask who it was.Lou Liuyi is much more familiar with the demon world than he is. Since she brought it back, it means that this tooth is enough to cut Fan Ye's scales.The only thing he needs to worry about is how many times this tooth can be used, and whether Fan Ye will be too dirty and unwilling to use it.

Sure enough, on the second day, Fan Ye pointed at that tooth and said angrily: "Eight-tailed fox! Are you courting death?!"

Northwest twitched the corners of his mouth, and if he didn't want to use it, then he didn't want to use it. Why did he get angry?

Today, Lou Henai's condition is good, he finished building alchemy early, Lou Liuyi walked by them, and glanced lightly at Fan Ye, "Why are you so excited?"

Fan Ye gritted his teeth angrily.

Northwest didn't know why, so I heard Lou Liuyi chuckle and said: "Back when you were a water snake, you were pecked by red birds and ran all over the street. I avenged you, and it's fine if you don't thank me. Why? ? Do you still want to fight with me?"

Fan Ye said angrily: "If I want to take revenge, I won't go there myself? What are you meddling with?"

Lou Liuyi straightened Lou Henai's fur clothes, and said calmly: "How about my child's inner alchemy, what do I expect, it's no business for Jiao Wang, you'd better leave it alone."

Fan Ye: "..."

Northwest suddenly realized.

He couldn't help but glance at Lou Liuyi, then at Lou Henai.

Fortunately, he didn't quarrel with Lou Henai.

The author has something to say: come, let's celebrate the birth of Kenai.

There is no silly week today, let him rest for a while
