"Xiaolan! Xiaolan!..."
The group of people shook Xiaolan's shoulders vigorously, and after a few minutes, they finally accepted the reality.
Xiaolan fell asleep again.
"Why is it now?" Qin Yin moved Xiaolan's head to his lap to prevent the child from having neck pain when he woke up. "Xiaolan has been sleeping very suddenly recently."
"Indeed," Yi Yao said, "Xiaolan also did this when we were together...and she also said that she dreamed about our Yi Nian ancestor."
Several people looked at Yi Yao.
"The ancestor of Yi Nian?" Li Muyuan said, "Isn't that just Yi Nian..."
"Yes, it's Yi Nian herself," Yi Yao said. "She also said... her ancestors said some strange things to her."
The Taoist priest sat upright and asked, "What about?"
"For example... he said he believed Xiaolan could do it," Yi Yao said truthfully, "but he didn't say what it was specifically, so Xiaolan was also confused... Maybe you have any ideas?"
Qin Yin shrugged and said, "You don't have any ideas, so what ideas can we have?"
"After all, you are familiar with Xiaolan," Yi Yao smiled and said, "How about relying on your understanding of Xiaolan?"
The Taoist priest and Qin Yin glanced at each other, the Taoist priest looked away, and Qin Yin said, "But our understanding of Xiaolan is also very limited."
"How could it be?" Yi Yao tilted his head slightly, looking very surprised, "Haven't you been together for a long time?"
"It's been a long time...it's been a long time indeed," Qin Yin looked into the distance, "But that doesn't mean...eh? What's over there?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Qin Yin's finger.
In the distance was the lake in the slightly glowing darkness. Among the black and purple, several medium-sized black spots appeared.
Not too big, not too small, just enough to be captured by their eyes.
"They are approaching," Luo Jiutian said with a frown, "They are approaching us."
"I have an ominous premonition..." Qin Yin helped Xiaolan up, "It doesn't look like a good thing..."
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "There are too many. No matter whether it is a good thing or not, we have to avoid it."
"In case it is an enemy, we will be very passive." Li Muyuan agreed.
"In this case, let's run away quickly." Qin Yin said.
Qin Yin put Xiaolan on Luo Jiutian's back and patted Luo Jiutian's back like a mule.
Luo Jiutian hesitated for a few seconds. The Taoist priest stared at him, knowing that he was thinking about Lao Luo and Senior Brother Zhuge.
He was worried that the two men were still around, and if they left, there might never be a chance of them meeting again.
"When we return to our world, everything will return to normal," the Taoist priest said lightly, "Jiutian, let's go first."
Luo Jiutian's pupils trembled. He pursed his lips and said quietly "Yes". He did not make any other reaction, but silently stood beside the Taoist Priest and stood with them.
Jiutian grew up little by little.
The Taoist Master took out a talisman from his chest. The talisman was soaked in water and became dripping wet. The cinnabar and red characters on the yellow talisman paper became blurred. Just when everyone was worried about whether the talisman could still be used, the Taoist Master said Reciting the mantra silently, he threw the talisman into the water.
The talisman flew and spun in mid-air, and fell to the water in an instant. The talisman lightly touched the water. The talisman suddenly ignited, and a small ripple appeared on the water. The next second, the flames and water waves disappeared. The sounds of creaking and creaking sounded in the ears of several people.
Qin Yin looked around with wide eyes.
The water surface that was swimming gently just now has turned into a hard ice field, and the ripples just now are frozen on the calm ice surface, like a black ice flower.
"It's something I've never seen before," Qin Yin said, "Taoist Priest, how many surprises do you have that we don't know about?"
The Taoist priest was too lazy to pay attention to Qin Yin. He grabbed Yi Yao and walked to the ice with him.
"Don't come over yet," the Taoist priest stepped hard on the ice a few times and said, "Mr. Yi and I are relatively heavy. You can come back after we have passed the test."
After the two stepped on it several times, the ice remained motionless.
"It's almost there, it should be solid," Li Muyuan turned around and said, "Let's go quickly, those things are coming soon."
"They look like people," Yi Yao said. "Lots and lots of people."
"Could it be the weirdos who were chasing us in that world just now? Are they chasing us?" Luo Jiutian said.
"What weirdo?" Qin Yin blinked.
"It's a long story." The Taoist priest waved his right arm and took the lead. "Let's go first. Hurry. The freezing time of the ice is limited. We have to reach the next piece of land before it melts."

Xiaolan saw it...
Mountain.
Open your eyes, it's full of green.
Xiaolan lay on the wet ground, smelling the humid air from all around that was constantly pouring into her nose, and recalled this familiar feeling almost instantly.
Been here myself.
Xiaolan sat up from the ground and looked around in shock.
Trees, green grass, silence and serenity...
Xiaolan stood up suddenly and started running in one direction.
I have seen this place in my dream.
This is the woods!
This is where the boundary marker is!
Xiaolan ran, completely unable to think about why she fell asleep at this time.
She only remembered that ahead, at the foot of a deep green mountain, stood her greatest obsession - the boundary monument.
Xiaolan ran frantically to the highest point of a hillside. She stood on the highest point and looked around.
Is it the front or the back?
Xiaolan was panting, sweating profusely, and anxious.
Think of it quickly.
hurry up!
"You want to know."
A man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Xiaolan exclaimed, his feet slipped, and he sat down on the ground.
Xiaolan retreated, stood up awkwardly, and looked at the person behind him.
Thin but tall, it was an equally familiar figure.
"Bridge...is there a bridge?" Xiaolan leaned against a thick old tree and stared at the person in front of her in shock, "Why is it you? Why are you here?"
Qiao didn't smile and shook his head, "I don't know where I appeared, only you know."
"What do you mean by this?" Xiaolan's breathing gradually calmed down.
"It means that I just entered your consciousness, but I don't know where your consciousness is," Qiao didn't say, and looked around, "Well... Judging from your reaction, this should be an unusual place. "
"You...why can you enter my consciousness?" Xiaolan immediately became defensive, "Did you get my consent? Just..."
"Your companions asked me to come to you," Qiao Bui interrupted Xiaolan, "If you don't want to, forget it, then I'll go..."
