"Do you need me to help you?" After a moment of silence, Gu Xu smiled and continued.
The snow girl pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a while, then nodded mysteriously and sat on a big rock.
Gu Xu knelt down, took off her two embroidered shoes that were worn backwards, exchanged them, and helped her put them on again.
In the process, his fingertips inevitably touched her white and delicate ankles, which felt as cold as ice and snow, but compared to ice and snow, they were pliable and elastic.
If it had been Shi Xiaohan, if he had been touched a few times by him like this, his cheeks would have turned red, and he would have been angry and smiling.
But the snow girl remained motionless.
She just lowered her head and looked at his hands quietly, her mind a little dazed.
She has never been able to distinguish faces, and it is difficult to judge beauty and ugliness from their appearance.
But she had to admit that these hands with clear joints were really beautiful.
"Okay." After a moment, Gu Xu stood up.
At this time, the snow started to fall.
The fiery red sun hung in the misty sky. The sunlight filtered through the branches of the ancient trees and fell mottled on the snow, illuminating the snow girl's cheeks.
At first glance, she seemed to be glowing.
Hearing Gu Xu's voice, the snow girl waved her hand gently, and the snow on the ground instantly rose into the air, turning into a crane with spread wings ready to fly.
[In view of the general environment,
Then she looked at Gu Xu and motioned for him to ride on the crane's back.
Gu Xu stood there without moving.
"It's too conspicuous," he said. "It might be better to just travel through space."
After hearing his words, the snow girl lowered her head and remained silent.
After a few seconds, she said softly: "I can't travel through space."
Can't travel through space?
Gu Xu glanced at her in surprise.
But he quickly remembered that although Yuki-onna had the strength of a saint, she was not the same as a true strong saint.
When she was a human, she was just a young practitioner with a low level of cultivation.
Later, after her death, with the help of Kong Xuan Sanren's "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique" and the powerful power of hatred, she became the frightening ferocious god-level ghost she is today.
She really has a superb grasp of the Ice and Snow Avenue.
However, since she has not truly reached the seventh level of cultivation, she has no experience of "transcending from the ordinary to the holy".
She doesn't know much about other "Taos".
Naturally, it does not have special abilities such as "tearing space" that other saints and masters have.
"Then it's up to me!" Gu Xu smiled, held the "astrolabe" in his hand, and stretched out his other hand towards the snow girl, "I'll take you through space."
The snow girl looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then gently grabbed his sleeve.
This made Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh: It seems that even after turning into a ghost, Miss Lu is still as reserved and reserved as before.
"I'm a little scared," the snow girl said suicidal before setting off, "I haven't been down the mountain in almost twenty years."
Her voice was mixed in the cold wind of Yishan. If you don't listen carefully, it's hard to understand what she said.
"Miss Lu, the Daqi Imperial Master you defeated a few days ago is one of the most powerful practitioners in the entire Daqi Dynasty," Gu Xu comforted, "You are not even afraid of him. Who else in the wilderness can stop you?" Where are you?"
….
"That's not what I'm afraid of," Yuki-onna paused and said, "I...I'm worried that I won't be able to control my instincts when I get to the human city."
"Look at me." Gu Xu said.
The snow girl responded to him and couldn't understand his purpose for a moment.
"Do you smell my scent?"
"Yeah." The snow girl nodded.
"You can even resist my temptation, so why worry about those ordinary people who are just like soup?" Gu Xu chuckled.
Hearing this, the snow girl pursed her lips slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
Then, as black cracks like spider webs appeared in the sky, the two disappeared together on the snowy peaks of Yishan Mountain.
…………
A few days ago, Chen Jisheng, the governor of the Exorcism Department of Yishui County, suddenly received an order from Wei Jiusi, a Qianhu in Qingzhou Prefecture, asking him to lead his subordinates in the yamen to Qingzhou City to perform an urgent task.
At that time, Chen Jisheng thought that this was because powerful ghosts appeared near Qingzhou Prefecture, and monks from various counties needed to be summoned to deal with it.
So he went with all his officials.
However, as soon as they arrived in Qingzhou Mansion, they were detained in the Yamen and were not allowed to go out.
Wei Jiusi from Qingzhou Prefecture came to visit them twice.
Chen Jisheng asked him why he detained the imperial official for no reason.
Wei Jiusi said that this is the request of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning - there is an extremely important task and your cooperation is urgently needed.
"Your Highness Princess..." Chen Jisheng muttered silently in his heart.
He really couldn't understand what virtues and abilities he had, as an ordinary seventh-grade official, to be chosen by Her Highness the Princess to do something.
If you insist on finding what is so special about him.
That is, in his yamen, there was once a Gu Xu who was extremely talented and shocking.
He originally thought that this young man would rise rapidly in Daqi's officialdom and become a pillar of the country such as the chief minister and the national counselor.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Gu Xu turned into a traitor and was wanted and arrested by Emperor Tianxing himself.
This incident shocked Chen Jisheng.
In his opinion, Gu Xu, who had a bright future, had no reason to treason at all - only by staying in the system of the Da Qi court could a genius monk like Gu Xu, who was born as a commoner, be able to obtain sufficient training resources. Solve the problem of his congenital deficiency and limited life span.
Once he leaves the court, it is almost impossible for him to obtain enough resources to support his cultivation to the realm of a saint.
However, in the minds of the people of Qi, Emperor Tianxing had a supreme status comparable to that of a god—his judgment could never be wrong.
Chaotic thoughts were mixed in Chen Jisheng's mind, making him worried and unable to think about food or drink.
He habitually reads the official newspaper, listens to other people's discussions, and learns the latest news about Gu Xu.
Logically speaking, as a minister of the Qi Dynasty, he should be grateful to the court for only punishing Gu Xu and not implicate others. He should pray that the treasonous traitors will be brought to justice as soon as possible.
However, when he heard that Gu Xu had escaped to the north and was protected by the Zhao family in Youzhou, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that King Yan Zhao Changying is the 'True King', a strong man, and he has been in seclusion recently to try to break through," Chen Jisheng thought to himself, "With his ability, he should be able to protect Gu Xu!"
Chen Jisheng drank tea in the Qingzhou Mansion Yamen for several days while thinking wildly.
Although Wei Jiusi said that Her Highness the Princess wanted to do something with him, he could not even see half of the Princess.
Until today, Wei Jiusi came to him again and said to him:
"You can go back to Yishui."
"You're going back to Yishui now?" Chen Jisheng was deeply puzzled, "I haven't done anything yet."
