bad

The snow was melted into water by the fire, and when the flames were extinguished, the scorched charcoal traces were quickly covered, and black and white were clearly distinguished, as if thousands of pear trees were in full bloom.

The wind and snow blinded his eyes, and the horse's hooves took one step at a time, sinking deep into the rapidly piled up snow.

Climbing the mountain against the wind was too difficult, Zaozima stuck its hooves, and refused to go no matter what, Xu Boyuan had no choice but to dismount, found a corner sheltered from the wind, tied the reins, and walked up the mountain.

This process was not easy, the blood on his arm blossomed into red plums in the snow, he didn't have time to take care of it, he kept walking along the path where some traces could still be seen vaguely.

The blizzard closed the mountain, and Zhao Heng's men were unable to move around, so they had to temporarily hold all the intersections down the mountain.

Seeing Xu Boyuan approaching in a state of embarrassment, he was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his lips and tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, it is more important to bandage the wound, I will find him and bring him back."

Xu Boyuan gave him a cold look, and walked straight forward.

The guards didn't dare to stop him without permission, so they could only ask Zhao Heng with their eyes, and Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.

With no horses and the snowy road was slippery, Xu Boyuan walked for nearly an hour before returning to the place where he left Ying Zhou.

No one is sure, and that's a good thing.

The way down the mountain was guarded. Zhao Heng didn't catch anyone, which meant that Ying Zhou didn't go down the mountain. Xu Boyuan walked up the mountain along the stream, stepping on the white snow and leaving footprints, revealing the burned black-gray land underneath.

The lush leaves all over the mountain were burnt clean, but the field of vision is much wider.Not far ahead, animals gathered under a half-burned tree. The herd of deer and raccoon dogs wailed softly with their necks hanging down. The rabbits were not afraid of natural enemies. Is mourning something.

As Xu Boyuan approached, Fushuang recognized his footsteps and neighed twice, struggling to stand up from the ground.

It eagerly squeezed the other animals away to Xu Boyuan's side, Xu Boyuan dragged its chin and patted his forehead, Fushuang whimpered twice, bit his sleeve and pulled him forward, water could be seen in his clear eyes , actually weeping——

Huagu Fan lay quietly on the ground, the silver-gray fan bones reflected the icy light and were mostly covered by snow.

Xu Boyuan's pupils tightened suddenly, he naturally knew this fan, Ying Zhou always kept it close to his body, and occasionally took it out to wipe the dust, it was very precious.

Bai Huben was squatting, seeing Xu Boyuan approaching, he slowly raised his head and stared at him for a moment, then suddenly picked up his fan and walked in front of Xu Boyuan.

Xu Boyuan understood his intention, knelt down and stretched out his hand, Baihu let go, and the fan fell into his palm.

He brushed off the snow on the fan with his thumb, and said with difficulty: "... Where is Ying Zhou?"

Ying Zhou didn't go down the mountain, Fushuang was there, Huagu Fan was there, but he wasn't there——

Baihu couldn't answer him with words, and raised his head to look northwest.Xu Boyuan looked along what he was looking at, and the snow was a little smaller than before, and golden light occasionally appeared in the clouds, as if it was about to clear up.

I can't ask, but I have to confirm it.

"He's fine, isn't he?"

Xiaobai and Ying Zhou have a deep relationship, but they don't look sad at the moment, the only explanation can only be that Ying Zhou is fine.

White Tiger nodded.

Xu Boyuan's eyes fell on the cold silver fan bone in his hand, and his hands were clenched and tightened.

It is rare for him to have such a mess of thoughts, but at this moment, his mind is as messy as if there are countless knots. He wants to sort it out, but he doesn't know where to start.

With Xiaobai's affirmation, he should be relieved, but the fact is that the anxiety and irritability in his heart are even worse, and countless questions come to him, stuffed in his chest, eager for answers.Where did Ying Zhou go?Why did the Huagu fan fall here?Why did Fushuang and these animals cry and cry?What's going on with this heavy snow... He wanted to ask Xiaobai more, but knew that Xiaobai couldn't answer for himself, so he just hoped to see Ying Zhou immediately and confirm each one.

Xiaobai suddenly turned into a cat shape, and jumped onto his knees lightly.

Xu Boyuan came back to his senses in surprise.

Xiaobai has an arrogant temperament. Except for Ying Zhou, Xu Jingluan is not allowed to touch him on weekdays, and he rejects him even more bluntly, but at this moment he suddenly takes the initiative to get close to him, very docile——

"He asked you to follow me?"

The white cat glanced at him indifferently, his expression seemed to be taken for granted, and he was too lazy to answer.

"Sir!"

Zhao Heng's voice came from behind him, Xu Boyuan frowned, put the Huagu fan in his arms, and stood up holding the cat.

He was worried about Ying Zhou, but now he and Xu Jingluan were in a very bad situation.Xiaobai transformed himself in front of everyone, almost confirming that Ying Zhou was not very human.The emperor wanted to question him, but he couldn't explain it at all. Coupled with the help of Xu Li and Concubine Lou Gui, things might not go well.

Zhao Heng approached with the guards, and the animals around were frightened and scattered, running fast, and quickly rushed into the forest.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Heng didn't see the scene of Xiaobai transforming into form, and just glanced at the white cat in Xu Boyuan's arms in surprise, "Did you find someone for your Majesty?"

Xu Boyuan shook his head.

Zhao Heng just asked a question. Since Xu Boyuan went up the mountain, he has been following him not far or near. It is certain that Xu Boyuan has not met Ying Zhou.He nodded and waved to the guards behind him, "Keep looking."

Xu Boyuan weighed the cat in his arms, "My horse is injured, please general lend me two people to take Fushuang back to the camp."

Zhao Heng hurriedly said, "I'll ask someone to push the cart."

Xu Boyuan's tone was light: "Thank you."

Zhao Heng curled his lips into a smile: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so there is no need to be so polite. The prince is injured, so go back and bandage it earlier, and I will send someone to take you off."

Feeling hot and cold, Ying Zhou opened his eyes.

The gloomy lake water flowed beside him, and the dim light shone through the ice into his dilated pupils. He squinted his eyes, and the burning pain of his body being burned by the fire still remained in his soul.

I have never experienced such a thing before, and I can't imagine it at all. It turns out that death is such a thing——

The short time is infinitely magnified, and the touch on every inch of the skin is extremely clear. You can clearly feel the passing of life in your body, but you can't resist it.You open your mouth to cry, but no one hears you; you look around, but there is no life, and that hopelessness is more tormenting than physical pain.

He originally thought that he was a person who had no desires or desires, and that it was nothing more than the demise of a false body, but when he tasted such pain, he had the heart to retreat, wanting to escape, wanting to call for help, want to live.

The ice layer broke open from the center, and the cracking sound was clear and loud, and Ying Zhou slowly floated up.

He didn't get up immediately, but lay flat on the lake quietly. The icy cold water calmed the burning pain in his soul. The wind and snow outside the barrier on the top of the mountain was still there.

In the past, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I went to the world and saw a lot. After comparing the two, I realized that the mountains are so boring and desolate.Accustomed to the bustling and lively world, he was a little uncomfortable.

"Shanjun!"

The voice from the northwest came to his ears, Ying Zhou turned his head to look, and saw three figures by the lake, except for the two boys who looked exactly the same, the other one was dressed in gray and plain, with a tall figure, it turned out to be Tianchen Siming.

Ying Zhou got up from the lake, and his toes drew a straight ripple on the water, before landing silently on the shore.

The water didn't leave any marks on him, so Ying Zhou touched the heads of the two boys one by one, then turned his head and smiled at Tianchen, asking, "Why is Tianchen here?"

He has not been in the mountains for more than a month, and his return came suddenly, without any warning, it is reasonable to happen to be by the lake in the southeast and northwest, Tianchen is ordered to live in Jiuchongtian, where the mountains are high and the water is far away, how can such a coincidence happen?

Si Ming stood with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly to Ying Zhou as a greeting, and replied, "I'll wait for the tiger."

"You know I'll be back?" Ying Zhou asked strangely, "Didn't you say that I can't see my destiny in Kunwu's book?"

Tianchen's gaze was still cold, but hesitation flashed across his usually expressionless face, he hesitated to speak, as if he hadn't figured out what to say, and seemed unable to speak at all.

Ying Zhou waited for a while but didn't wait for him to speak, so he smiled sarcastically and said, "Tianchen just speak up." He was worried about Xu Boyuan in his heart, and was afraid that the fox demon would attack him again when he was not around, even though Xiaobai was with him , but it is always inconvenient for Xiaobai to do things in the human world, and he is in a hurry to go back to the human world, so there is no delay.

"Although there are no tigers in Kunwu's book," Tianchen replied slowly, "everything in the world is closely related, and I can infer one or two things from the destiny of the people around the tiger."

Ying Zhou was taken aback, "But last time you said you couldn't see..."

Tianchen exhaled lightly. After saying this, he seemed to let go of some burden, and his expression became softer, explaining: "Tigers used to live in the mountains, and the connection with others is too weak. After leaving the mortal world, I know more people, and I can see more naturally.”

"Well……"

What he said was indeed very reasonable, in the past he only got along with Nanling, Xiaobai, Nanling, and although there were many monsters in the mountains, few other than Xiaobai dared to talk to him.I didn't think much of it before, but now that I think about it, it can be said that he has lived a very lonely life in the past 2000 years.

Ying Zhou asked: "So you saw that I would come back, and you came here to wait for me?"

Tianchen nodded, and said: "The fox monster that the tiger encountered is quite advanced. If you go back here, I'm afraid it's not her match."

Ying Zhou asked: "What can you do?"

He knew it so clearly, and came here specially, not just to say some nonsense, there must be some way to help.

Sure enough, Tianchen replied: "The Dragon Lord of the Four Seas has a nine-pearl mirror, which can break the origin of all things, and has a miraculous effect on spells such as ecstasy and illusion. If the tiger can borrow it, it can not only break the magic of the fox, It can break through her real body."

The author has something to say: I made a mistake in chapter 38, and I haven’t written it yet. QAQ should be 37 today, and 38 will be added tomorrow!

I'm afraid it wasn't because the research made me stupid... They all said that I went for a week, and my IQ plummeted by 30 points... I was too sleepy... I'll catch bugs tomorrow...
