Because there is no spirit transformation pool, Xiao Die'er and Crow Crow have to rebuild it, which is actually a good thing in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
Next, he took Crow to the cedar forest in the mountains to collect branches and hunt, and let Xiaodieer practice the snow-cutting sword again in the wind and snow.
Including the sword-drawing technique from the East China Sea of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the guqin, all three are indispensable.
As a result, Xiao Die'er felt that she was even more tired than Crow and the master. She practiced the guqin for an hour every day and practiced the sword for an hour and a half.
I also had to memorize Buddhist scriptures for half an hour.
She was so angry that she took it out on the crow from time to time, scolding him for only running after the master and not being able to do anything.
Crow chuckled: "Sister, don't panic, I can break through the realm while sleeping, why don't you try to become a dragon?"
Xiao Die'er was stunned upon hearing this and looked at the master in a daze.
Angry, Li Xiuyuan threw the crow into the distant woods and cursed: "Xiaodie'er is a human, not a monster."
Only then did Xiaodieer giggle. She looked at the crow in the air and said with a smile, "Junior brother told you not to make master angry. You are itchy again."
The crow croaked and crawled back out of the snow after a lot of effort. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Xiao Die'er is different from you. She was pregnant with the essence and blood of a divine dragon before. You are a natural monster. She has not recovered her cultivation. You let her cultivate the physical body of a divine dragon?"
"Tell me, are you stupid or bad?" Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
Crow nodded and said: "So, where is the little red dragon who followed the Bodhisattva? Isn't she Pianpian's aunt?"
Li Xiuyuan spread his hands: "If you want to compete with her, why didn't you leave with the Bodhisattva in the first place?"
Crow Crow had nothing to say this time, so he could only reply with a grimace: "Senior sister, wait a little longer. When I get better, I can protect you."
Xiao Die'er shook her head: "Junior brother, don't be afraid. I feel that it won't be long before you can return to your previous state. When I become more powerful, you can transform."
That means, don't be afraid, Senior Sister will protect you.
There was no sun or moon in the mountains, because when Li Xiuyuan came to the snow peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, he didn't know what month or day it was, let alone how many years had passed since he left last time.
Well, after the experience of the last trip to Furong Town, since God arranged for the three masters and disciples to come here, then this place should also be part of his journey to heaven.
This way, he no longer has to rush.
Xiaodie'er and Crow Crow can feel at ease as long as they stay with their master. Not to mention, the two of them were as weak as rookies.
Every day I just refine spirit stones honestly, complete my own practice quietly, and wait for spring to go down the mountain with my master to see this world.
Everything seemed to be as expected by Li Xiuyuan.
...
At this time, the Phoenix Imperial City was bustling with activity, and the lively atmosphere seemed not to be affected by the snowstorm.
The guest house in the imperial city was already filled with guests who came first, so those who came later had to go to the inn in the city to find a quiet place.
Everything is waiting for the winter solstice to participate in the grand ceremony of the marriage between Wuji Holy Land and Phoenix Imperial City.
This wedding was quite a sensation in Phoenix City and also affected all the major holy places.
Whether it was the Snowfield Holy Land far in the far north, the Tianyun Holy Land, or even the Tianlong Holy Land, which had always paid little attention to worldly affairs, sent elders to congratulate them.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that among the princes of the Phoenix Imperial City, the most capable is the third prince Yu Wenjie. It will not take many years for him to sit on that dragon chair.
The bride comes from the Wuji Holy Land and has been hiding at home these days. The ministers who heard the news were curious about what the bride looked like.
Although the bride, Tantai Mingyue, was not a top-notch person in the Holy Land before, she has since returned safely from the secret realm of the snow-capped mountains with a group of disciples.
Whether it is His Royal Highness the Prince of Phoenix City or Tantai Mingyue of Wuji Holy Land, they are no longer the seemingly weak and despised people they used to be.
After all, Snowfield Holy Snow's trip to the secret realm changed the fate of many monks.
The elixirs brought back from the major holy places allowed the elders in the sect who had not had any hope of breaking through for hundreds of years to break through and find new hope.
Not to mention, Yu Wenjie and Tantai Mingyue once entered the secret realm together. As a result, even the leaders and elders of the major holy places could not find any fault.
To put it in detail, entering the secret realm, the prince of the Imperial City and the disciples of the Wuji Holy Land can be regarded as living together and dying together. They came together and now want to get married, which is a logical thing.
For a time, the major holy places, major sects and aristocratic families, as well as the senior officials in the imperial city, had already prepared congratulatory gifts, just waiting for the arrival of the winter solstice.
However, people who were immersed in the celebration inadvertently forgot one thing and one person.
...
The night is deep in Xiaojinshan, the forbidden area of the imperial city.
The mountain is not high, only no more than a hundred feet, and only a few miles in circumference, so it is called Xiaojin Mountain.
There are cliffs on three sides of the mountain. Even the foot of the mountain facing south is tightly surrounded by a three-foot-high red wall, not to mention that there is a mountain-protecting formation within the red wall.
In addition to His Majesty the Emperor, even the princes who come here must have an imperial edict before they can enter.
There was silence in the mountains and forests. Even the night birds deep in the woods hid in their nests and stopped making any sound when the snowflakes were flying.
Only the cold wind blowing in the mountains seemed a bit sad and resentful, as if it was telling the sorrow of the person sitting alone in front of the lamp in the depths of the night.
Who is sighing alone in this snowy night?
Who is sitting alone in front of the lamp on this long cold night?
There is a stone wall near the top of the mountain. At the stone wall is a frozen mountain spring. Not far away is a mountain stream lined with cedars. Outside the cave, there is a magic circle to protect the owner.
The cold wind blew back and forth but could not enter the cave, and the sound of the wind quietly disappeared in front of this formation.
The cave was decorated like a palace in an imperial city, but there was only one maid. She couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
A cup of spiritual tea is held in a pair of slender white hands. The spiritual tea is getting cold, but the owner has no intention of tasting it.
As the night deepens, the wind becomes more miserable.
Slowly, slowly, she turned around, and her pretty face was illuminated by the oil lamp on the table. It was the little princess who had returned to Phoenix City.
Yuwen Liuli who once practiced by the Tongtian River.
By the Tongtian River, she was an ordinary woman in the world, and even the merchants crossing the river would not even look at her.
Back in the imperial city, she was such a beautiful and unparalleled princess in the world. The wind and sand by the Tongtian River did not leave a trace of erosion on her face.
It's breathtakingly beautiful and seems to be intoxicating.
However, when Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to the Imperial City, she was rejected by her father, queen, mother, and even her brother because of her own choices, or rather her requests.
In a rage, she left the palace and came to Xiaojin Mountain...because neither her brother nor her father, the queen, and her mother would let her leave the imperial city.
And her heart is by the Tongtian River, so how can she be trapped in this imperial city?
The cup of spiritual tea in his hand gradually became as cold as ice. The Tongtian River, which was just a few feet away, now turned into a chasm.
Yuwen Liuli couldn't feel the coldness in her palms, and there was only a trace of anger burning gently in her heart.
Just today, she sent out a messenger bird to seek help from her master who was far away in Meishan, but it was thousands of miles away and she didn't know when the messenger bird would be able to fly into the palace in Meishan.
Inexplicably, deep in her heart, there was a hint of sadness.
The cold wind outside the cave blew the snow all over the sky, making the cedars in the mountains rustle...but it couldn't blow into the cave. The current princess had her heart sealed.
The maid was asleep, no one spoke to her, she just stared and remembered quietly.
All of a sudden, these years came to her mind bit by bit from the bottom of her heart and appeared in her divine sea.
She was even thinking, if the guy who stunned the snow-capped mountains with his sword was still here, would her brother and sister-in-law treat her like this?
Thinking of the memories of those years, Her Royal Highness had a touch of bitterness on her face.
Sighing softly: "Are you... okay?"
The cave didn't answer her, didn't say a word, and her face looked pale even with a pot of charcoal fire burning in front of her.
Her figure surrounded by oil lamps is sad and beautiful.
Sitting alone in front of the lamp, she no longer had to work hard or prepare the ingredients to be sold the next day, but Yuwen Liuli was trembling gently in the shadow of the lamp.
Once upon a time, or rather unconsciously, she had become accustomed to living by the Tongtian River, and to having her eldest brother by her side.
She even thought that the two of them could continue to live like this in the future, even if they left Tongtianhe and returned to Meishan to practice.
The years passed silently, and bits and pieces of the past left an invisible imprint on her heart, like a flame spreading at this moment.
Looking at the figure illuminated by the oil lamp and thinking of his brother Buli who was far away by the Tongtian River, Yuwen Liuli murmured to himself: "After the master receives the message and disappears, will you come and see me?"
He sighed softly, thinking about the faces he would face when he returned to the imperial city.
Thinking about his brother who seemed like a different person, and Tantai Mingyue who was about to become his sister-in-law but didn't speak for him.
Yuwen Liuli felt that the flame that had been held in her heart for many days rushed out of her body with a roar, and a destructive flame was about to burn the entire world.
But the maid in the dream didn't know that the current princess, in a moment of anger, burned a phoenix nirvana fire.
On this cold winter night, when I was betrayed by my family and betrayed by my brother and sister-in-law, I felt nirvana.
Gradually, a ball of golden flames enveloped Yuwen Liuli...
Some thin silk threads appeared in the blazing flames, like silk, weaving slowly, weaving into a huge cocoon on this cold winter night.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who will soon return to the Imperial City, is wrapped into a shining golden cocoon...
Even under the blazing flames, a tall figure flashed... a figure from the Tongtian River.
A figure that unknowingly lives in the girl's heart.
...
The wind and snow were flying all over the sky, with no intention of stopping, but a faint golden light flew from the north, passing through the thick clouds and passing through the wind and snow.
Passing through Xiaojin Mountain, a magic formation outside the cave fell on the burning cocoon and also on the large formation at the entrance of the cave.
After many days of silence, a touch of gentleness and a strong breath from the Tongtian River finally burned out a Nirvana fire in this cold and unhuman night.
On the lips of the girl in the cocoon, there was a slight bitterness and a touch of sadness.
Until the maid woke up in the early morning and found that the princess had turned into a golden cocoon. She was so frightened that she rolled and crawled down the mountain.
They found the emperor, the queen, and the prince Yu Wenjie, and told everyone about the shocking night on the mountain.
Yu Wenjie was shocked after hearing this, and immediately accompanied his father, the emperor and his mother to Xiaojin Mountain.
Only then did they realize that after one night, there was a magic circle at the entrance of the cave. Even His Majesty the Emperor could not enter, let alone Tantai Mingyue who looked frightened.
His Majesty the Emperor released his spiritual consciousness and silently stared at the golden cocoons in the cave, and couldn't help but sigh.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
