something wrong

Qiu Ying was dumbfounded by Sangzi's question, she really couldn't say what she forgot or didn't forget to her sister's face.

Still old Zhu Banxian, he twirled his beard and shook his head and said, "Such a peerless beauty, it's not easy to forget."

"Oh?" Sang Zi turned her head following the voice, but because Zhu Banxian was sitting next to Yan Qitong, the direction her face was facing was closer to Yan Qitong.

Yan Qitong stared blankly at that face. In the flickering candlelight, that complexion was such a pale color with the white cloth, and he was wearing a light gray cloth. Sitting across the table, he felt so cold, as if ...The blood that flowed out took away the gentleness in her bones and the only slightly brighter color.Just thinking wildly like this, Yan Qitong came while listening to Zhu Banxian opening his mouth:

"I remember when I saw her for the first time, she still had a veil on her face, but the eyes that were exposed were amazing enough. It is enough. After getting in touch with him, I found out that besides his beauty, that person has a temperament that is not in this world. He looks delicate, but he has a temper that is not afraid of suffering, and he can bear all kinds of crimes..."

"Half Immortal," Qiu Ying suddenly smiled and raised her hand to drink with him, "I'm just talking so much, don't forget to drink." After saying that, she pointed to Yan Qitong, signaling him not to talk about it.

After hearing this, Zhu Banxian stopped talking and took a sip from his cup.

Sangzi seemed to be fascinated by listening, but when she was interrupted, she lowered her head again, and asked after a while, "Where is Lieutenant Qi?"

"What?" Lieutenant Qi hurriedly asked.

"Do you remember anything about her?"

Lieutenant Qi grinned, and said: "If you want to talk about the first sight, I should have seen it in your carriage, but that wasn't real; to tell the truth, it should be when she broke into the city gate in the middle of the night. Banxian didn't say anything. Wrong, she is indeed a courageous master, just like that, if she meets someone with a bad heart, she doesn't know what kind of trouble she will suffer." After saying that, she clicked her tongue twice and glanced at Qiu Ying.Qiu Ying was also there that night, so he didn't leave much impression. Who would know that they went to Daxue Mountain? Can't run into each other.For example, right now, these two people are sitting face to face, as if separated by an invisible mountain, they cannot collide.

Finally, Sangzi had heard enough and felt better. She stopped her chopsticks and asked Qiu Ying, "Tell me, how did this blazing grass come from?"

As soon as Qiu Ying put down the chopsticks, she immediately regained her spirits, and she waited here.

"The reason why we went to Daxue Mountain at first was naturally for the snow-backed silkworm. Of course, I also knew that Brother Qi wanted to find your antidote. After meeting Zhu Banxian on the road, we decided to find the snow-backed silkworm first, and then look for an opportunity to go to Daxueshan. .”

"There are many villages at the foot of the Snow Mountain, and we searched for a long time before we found the village that specializes in snow-backed silkworms. At that time...it was the middle of July last year, and the season for spring silkworms to weave had already passed. That village was They are extremely poor and have no good craftsmanship. I have seen the silk woven from their snow-backed silkworm cocoons. It's starting to snow..."

"So, when we went, the snow-backed silkworms were just beginning to form cocoons, and fresh cocoons are naturally the most rare, so we bought them all at a very high price." Qiu Ying couldn't help but pause at this point. God.Originally they planned to pay a higher price, but Yan Qitong analyzed it for them, saying that the traffic in that place is blocked, and the summer is short and the winter is long.It is not necessary to be used to them, if you make a proper move, and then lure them into long-term cooperation, people will always get out of the poor words, this is the reality.

Sure enough, after several negotiations, the price and long-term cooperation were determined, and both parties were naturally satisfied.In fact, this silkworm is only said to be because of the special mulberry leaves it eats. According to Yan Qitong's inspection of the local mulberry trees, she even dug out a lot of soil underground. She concluded that this tree can only be planted here, and only in other places. I'm afraid it wasn't there, maybe it was affected by the volcano, but Qiu Ying couldn't say too much why.

Naturally, none of this can be told to Sangzi, at least for now.

"After the snowback silkworm business is completed, the people in my family will take care of the rest of the work, and I will follow Brother Qi and Banxian to the Daxue Mountain." If it is said that the people in the family who followed her at that time disagreed with her life and death No, it wasn't until Zhu Banxian took a few talismans to show his fire-making skills that he reluctantly nodded, it was for Yan Qitong's sake.

"To be honest, before I entered the mountain, I didn't feel much. After I entered the mountain, I realized why Brother Qi went so hard to carry thick clothes weighing dozens of catties in for us." Qiu Ying couldn't help but to say this. There was a cold war.Hongguo is not as cold as Liguo, especially in the summer of June and July, but the snow-capped mountains seem to have been born out of thin air, and there are two worlds inside and outside the mountains.Brother Qi is said to have gone through the cold weather, so he was naturally mentally prepared; Zhu Banxian also wrapped up a thick robe early, and in his baggage was the talisman paper he had prepared for many days; Afraid of the cold, he always walks ahead with a paper map and wears the thinnest clothes.

When Qiu Ying said this, Lieutenant Qi took over the words: "I remember when we went to Yanguo, you said that you picked the snow lotus flower beside a rift valley, so our goal is naturally to find that snow lotus flower. Dao Great Rift Valley." Of course, things are not as easy as these simple sentences.On the map that Yan Xitong brought, there was no big rift valley at all, only a lake, and they invited people from that village to be their guides—the word guide was coined by Yan Xitong, so naturally they spent a lot of money.They wandered around in the snow mountain for a long time, but fortunately, according to the guide, it will also snow this season, but fortunately they did not encounter it when they entered the mountain for the first time.However, they didn't harvest anything, and they didn't go out with the guide until all the dry food they brought was eaten up.

After leaving the mountain, the guide said that there must be snow falling in the Daxue Mountain around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the mountain road would be blocked and unable to enter, but Yan Qitong naturally refused to leave, and just studied the map all day long.It really snowed heavily on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, but for unknown reasons, Yan Qitong suddenly fell ill that night, vomited and vomited, and fell into a coma for several days, only after Zhu Banxian administered a lot of elixir did he wake up.

After Yan Qitong woke up, she lost a lot of weight and suffered from a persistent coughing disease. Naturally, no one dared to let her go into the mountains.Just when she was still determined to go, a person suddenly came from outside the village.

This man, Lieutenant Qi, doesn't remember what he looks like now, he is just an ordinary person, and if he is left in the world, he probably won't attract anyone's attention.But when he arrived, he brought a letter to Yan Qitong, obviously aimed at her.The man only said that he came from Weiyang, and that he had friendship with Suming.Yan Qitong didn't doubt it after listening to it, but when he opened the letter, his face, which was not good enough before, instantly became terrible.

Lieutenant Qi still remembers that Yan Qitong's eyes were scary at that time, and his voice was full of endless grievances and confusion: "I am the one who has a family and has no choice to go back, and I am the one who broke the promise to her. Why is it not me who was punished?" Tears rolled down Yan Qitong's eyes, "Sangzi is blind, she can't see..."

The few people around were shocked when they heard it, and grabbed the letter to read it.There were only a few words in the letter, saying that she suddenly went blind after the Mid-Autumn Festival in her hometown, and everyone dared not hide it from her, so they sent someone to tell her.

Qiu Ying hugged Yan Qitong, and cried with her: "You said you were punished, didn't you already try your best, and who was the one who just had a serious illness?"

Yan Qitong let her hold her, and let her tears flow, she just felt that the sky here was really cold, since she came here, she had never felt so cold.In fact, she wholeheartedly thought that the sudden illness this time was due to the relapse of Sangzi's illness and transferred it to herself. Although she was in a semi-consciousness, she still felt lucky.Fortunately, it was me who suffered, and it was just a little bit of suffering, nothing special.

But unexpectedly, even so, Sangzi did not escape the torture, and turned out to be blind, how could this make her feel at ease.

Recalling that the man came with a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Lieutenant Qi heaved a long sigh in his heart.Afterwards, no one could stop Yan Qitong's determination to go that trip, even though she had just recovered from her illness and still had a persistent cough, she still left.

Yan Qitong followed the man and left in a hurry without saying anything.Lieutenant Qi and the others naturally couldn't just wait. Yan Qitong mentioned when he woke up that the ancient book didn't know how old it was, so the geography in the picture might also change.For example, if the water in the lake dries up, if the mountain is squeezed by external force, there will be only a crack left; or the water in the lake has already turned into ice and rocks, and it is also possible that they ignored it.In fact, they have all taken a detour now. The snow lotus is hard to find, but the top of the mountain is not hard to find, but the way up the mountain may not be easy.

At this time, there was continuous snowfall in the snow-capped mountains, and the weather was extremely bad. Even after the sun cleared, they tried to go a few times, but they all returned halfway.

"Until November, we didn't find a suitable day to enter the mountain." Lieutenant Qi sighed again at the dinner table.What's even more amazing is that within two months, Yan Qitong ran back and forth. They didn't know how she flew back and forth, but seeing how exhausted she was when she returned to the village, they all felt that they should say nothing at that time. She was not allowed to go.But Zhu Banxian asked, who can stop her.

After seeing Sangzi, Yan Qitong didn't say anything, and only wanted to go back to the mountain.At this time, Lieutenant Qi and the others made several detours and found some trails in the snowy mountains. After a snowfall, they said that there would be sunny days for a while, so they brought enough things and the group went into the mountains again.

While waiting for Yan Qitong, Lieutenant Qi and the others also prepared warmer thick clothes and enough dry food. Zhu Banxian even spent all his time on the talismans. Everyone was stuffed with many talismans to keep out the cold. Paper.There are many cold protection charms drawn by Su Ming himself that he stole from his teacher and got from Yan Qitong.

"When I entered the mountain for the second time, the sky was actually colder, but fortunately, I have gained some experience. We only thought that the snow lotus you picked is cold, so it belongs to yin, and the things that restrain each other should belong to fire and belong to yang. So we headed towards the east. In fact, we didn’t realize until we got deep into the Daxue Mountain that it wasn’t completely icy and snowy, especially when we found a hot spring.” Lieutenant Qi was still very excited when he said this.The hot spring was discovered by Qiu Ying.Originally, a group of people were walking in the snow. It was Qiu Ying who first saw smoke rising not far away, no less than three places, in the still white snow, it looked a little scary.Qiu Ying screamed, which attracted everyone's attention. Lieutenant Qi wanted to go up to see it, but it was Yan Qitong who stopped him.She took the accompanying cane and tapped it all the way to the side, only to realize that it was a hot spring.

Lieutenant Qi still remembered her expression at that time, as if a dazzling sun was shining into the cold and vast snow field. Later, he realized that the hot spring had arrived, and the Flaming Grass might not be far away. It is close to the direction of geothermal heat.

Only then did everyone know from Yan Qitong's explanation that this mountain is actually a volcano, and they have already walked to its feet.
