Bu Xiaotian did not go to the kitchen, but walked into a room on the other side of the yard.
The room is not big, and after opening the door, the furnishings in the room can be seen at a glance.
There was nothing inside, not even a table or chair.
After Bu Xiaotian walked into this empty room, he closed the door. Then he walked to the center of the room, squatted down and lightly tapped somewhere on the ground. Not long after, he saw the ground three feet in front of him suddenly crack. A gap opened.
The masonry on both sides of the gap slowly receded to both sides, and soon a three-foot-square hole was revealed, with a faint white light reflecting faintly.
After the entrance of the cave appeared, Bu Xiaotian did not hesitate and jumped in.
The entrance of the cave is not big, but it is quite deep, about six or seven feet long. As you fall, you can see that there are round stones emitting white light embedded in the cave wall at intervals.
Bu Xiaotian quickly fell to the bottom, and then saw a passage leading sideways to the side. There were also several white round stones embedded in the wall.
This passage is not long. Standing where he is, Bu Xiaotian can see the cold pool in the stone chamber on the other side of the passage and the ice coffin placed on top of the cold pool.
Bu Xiaotian first made a knot on the spot and recited a few mantras silently. The originally normal passage suddenly glowed with colorful light, which soon slowly faded away and returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
After the light completely dissipated, Bu Xiaocai walked into the passage and came to the edge of the cold pool.
A crystal clear ice coffin floats on the cold pool. Through the ice wall, you can clearly see a girl lying inside, who is Mo Li.
At this time, Mo Li looked rosy and was lying quietly in the coffin, as if he had just fallen asleep.
Bu Xiaotian looked at Mo Li lying in the coffin, his eyes filled with unspeakable sadness.
After a long time, Bu Xiaocai whispered:
"Mo Li, I'm back."
After saying this, Bu Xiaotian didn't speak again, as if waiting for the person in the coffin to respond.
But no one answered, Mo Li still lay there quietly.
Bu Xiaotian had long known that this would be the case, so he just looked at her quietly.
After a long time, Bu Xiaocaitian said again:
"I still haven't found a way to wake you up, but don't worry, I won't give up. Even if I have to travel to the ends of the world, I will wake you up. Then we will travel around the world together and see everything. of beautiful scenery.”
Then Bu Xiaotian slowly exhaled and whispered everything that happened outside recently.
By the time Bu Xiaotian finished talking about everything, more than an hour had passed.
Finally, Bu Xiaotian looked at Mo Li and said:
"I'm leaving. Just stay here. I'll see you again soon."
After saying that, Bu Xiaotian took another deep look at Mo Li, who was unresponsive, then turned around and walked towards the passage from where he came.
When Bu Xiaotian returned to the small courtyard, Yun Ying had already laid out a table of food. When Bu Xiaotian came out, he quickly greeted him to eat.
Neither Yun Ying nor Situ Xue asked Bu Xiaotian what he was doing inside. The three of them finished their meal talking and laughing, and Yun Ying put away the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.
Bu Xiaotian and Situ Xue were basking in the sun in the yard, chatting about insignificant things.
Suddenly, Bu Xiaotian looked at Situ Xue and said:
"Mom, I want to go to the grassland."
Situ Xue looked at Bu Xiaotian, but didn't see any special look on his face. She didn't ask any more questions. She was silent for a moment and said softly:
"Well, you go ahead."
"Brother Xiaotian, are you going out again?"
But Yun Ying didn't know when he stood at the door of the kitchen.
Bu Xiaotian looked at the worry on Yun Ying's face, nodded slightly, and said:
"Um."
Although there was reluctance and worry on Yun Ying's face, he also knew that he could not stop Bu Xiaotian, so he cheered up and said with a smile:
"Then you must be careful! Auntie and I will wait here for you to come back!"
Bu Xiaotian responded:
"Okay, I will be careful!"
Early the next morning, Bu Xiaotian packed his luggage and left the valley with the black donkey, heading east.
In the evening, on the road leading to the east, a black-coated donkey was carrying a man in a green robe and was slowly walking forward with the setting sun on its back.
The golden-red sunlight shone on them, and the man's snowy white hair seemed to be dyed with a hint of gold.
At a certain moment, the black donkey's footsteps stopped, and one person and one donkey looked at the figure in front of them who was standing in the middle of the road looking at them at some unknown time.
Bu Xiaotian squinted his eyes and confirmed that he did not recognize this strange man who suddenly blocked their way, but it was obvious from the look of him that he came just for them.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Bu Xiaotian reached out and patted the black donkey's neck, signaling it to come closer.
The black donkey was comforted by Bu Xiaotian, and then walked forward again, but judging from its alert eyes and slightly tense body, it seemed that it would take Bu Xiaotian to escape from here once it found something was wrong.
Reaching a few feet in front of the man, the black donkey stopped again, and Bu Xiaotian stopped urging it forward.
The two of them just looked at each other in the middle of the avenue.
After a while, Bu Xiaotian didn't feel any malice from the other party, so he asked:
"Who are you, and why are you blocking the way down?"
Before the man could speak, he suddenly heard the rustling of the trees nearby, and a white shadow rushed out of the jungle, running straight towards where Bu Xiaotian and Hei Donkey were. The white shadow came very quickly, and it was already there in the blink of an eye. In front of the black donkey.
Bu Xiaotian thought there was a sneak attack and was about to draw his sword, but he saw the black donkey suddenly turned around and raised one of its hind legs, and kicked the white figure out with a hoof.
After being kicked, the white shadow was thrown away. He flipped nimbly in mid-air and landed on the ground. He made a whining sound, which sounded a little inexplicable.
The black donkey turned around again, and Bu Xiaotian finally saw clearly what the white shadow that was attacking them was.
It was actually a white wolf that was only slightly smaller than the black donkey. The hair on the white wolf's body was like snow, without a trace of color, and it looked very powerful and beautiful.
But at this moment, the wolf's face, which should have made ordinary people feel fearful, had a human-like look of grievance, and there were even faint tears in his blue eyes.
Just when Bu Xiaotian looked at the person blocking their way again, the person suddenly showed a smile and said:
"As expected of the legendary white-haired swordsman, even his mount is so powerful!"
Bu Xiaotian did not dare to be careless and asked again:
"Who is your Excellency?"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's guarded look, the man suddenly laughed and said:
"Haha, Xiaotian, don't you recognize me?"
This time the man's voice had some changes, and Bu Xiaotian felt vaguely familiar in his ears.
Thinking back for a moment, Bu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice also brought a hint of joy:
"Lotte?!"
As soon as Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, he saw a flash of light all over the man's body. When the light dissipated, the man's appearance had changed drastically, from an ordinary middle-aged man to a handsome young man. .
Seeing the change in the person in front of him, Bu Xiaotian was also a little surprised, and then he felt a burst of joy:
"Are you really Lotte? Why are you here?"
Letian smiled and said:
"It's a long story, let's find a place to have a nice chat."
Bu Xiaotian naturally would not object, nodded and said:
"good!"
It was night, in an inn, Bu Xiaotian and Letian were sitting opposite each other. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was already late at night, but their conversation had not diminished at all.
While chatting, Letian looked at Bu Xiaotian’s white hair and asked:
"Xiaotian, actually I've wanted to ask you a long time ago, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Letian ask this, a complicated look appeared on Bu Xiaotian's face.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian didn't look right, Letian immediately realized that he seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly said:
"It's okay, Xiaotian, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
Bu Xiaotian smiled bitterly when he heard this and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. Back then..."
Then Bu Xiaotian briefly recounted what happened after he and Letian separated. The two had lived and died together, and were rare confidants. Bu Xiaotian did not hide the things between him and Mo Li.
This statement led to the break of dawn, when the wine bottle on the table was empty and replaced, replaced and emptied again.
In order not to worry his mother, he had been pretending to be strong in the past few years. Finally, when he had a chance to talk, Bu Xiaotian finally stopped suppressing his inner feelings, and in the end he started to cry drunkenly.
"I have traveled all over Xuanzhou over the years just to find a way to wake her up, but I have tried all the ways I can think of, but I have never succeeded.
It was me who harmed her. If I hadn't taken her with me at the beginning, nothing else would have happened!
She gave everything for me, but I can't do anything! It’s because I’m too useless and it’s because I’m useless…”
Letian looked at Bu Xiaotian with a heavy expression on his face. He wanted to comfort Bu Xiaotian, but he didn't know what to say.
…
The next evening, when Bu Xiaotian woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. The hangover had not yet dissipated, and he was completely groggy.
He sat up cross-legged and circulated his true energy. He quickly dispelled the drunkenness from his body and at the same time remembered everything about last night.
He got out of bed, got dressed and opened the door, only to see Lotte walking out from next door. He didn't know whether he had just woken up or had woken up a long time ago.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then went downstairs together to order some food.
After sleeping all day, both of them were a little hungry.
While the two were eating, they talked about the recent events.
However, one of them was busy completing the tasks assigned by their master, and the other was only thinking about finding a way to save his beloved. They didn't really care about these things. They only talked about them to pass the time.
Now that we are talking about these things, we cannot avoid the incident in Kunlun Mountain three years ago.
Bu Xiaotian sighed:
"I don't know what is in Kunlun Mountain. I haven't seen Senior Sister Lan in the past few years, so I don't know what she encountered inside. But seeing that Young Master Xue's cultivation has greatly increased after he came out, there must be a great opportunity inside. If I can go in, maybe...sigh..."
Bu Xiaotian stopped talking halfway through, but sighed.
Seeing his look like this, Letian knew what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything and just patted him on the shoulder.
Bu Xiaotian quickly adjusted his mood and continued:
"I don't know where the disciple of the Holy Envoy of Chaos has gone. With the methods of An Mo Cult, since that person can come out of Kunlun Mountain, he shouldn't be unknown, right?"
Letian shook his head slightly and said:
"Who knows? Maybe he was unlucky and didn't find anything inside. Maybe he stayed in there for so long in vain."
Bu Xiaotian also laughed when he heard this:
"Haha! If that's the case, that would be the best. If he really finds some treasure inside, it won't be a good thing for us when we come to the right path!"
Letian nodded and said:
"Well, indeed!"
The meal was finished quickly, and the two chatted for a while before going back to their rooms to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Bu Xiaotian and Letian left the inn and called back the black donkey and white wolf in the distant forest.
The white wolf is naturally the little snow wolf Yin Yue they found in the grassland. Although Yin Yue has grown up, she still likes to follow the black donkey like a puppy.
The wolf and the donkey seemed very close, and Yin Yue seemed not to remember that the black donkey kicked the black donkey when they met before.
At the intersection, Bu Xiaotian and Letian stood opposite each other.
Bu Xiaotian said to Letian:
"I'm going to the grassland to see if the Ghost Clan can cure Mo Li. Let's say goodbye here and drink together next time we meet!"
Letian nodded and said:
"Okay! I believe Miss Mo Li has her own destiny, and you will definitely find a way to wake her up! We will see you later!"
"See you later!"
Black Donkey and Snow Wolf seemed to feel the atmosphere of their separation, and looked reluctant to leave.
After saying goodbye, the two of them headed east and south.
Under the rays of the rising morning sun, the shadows of the two people were stretched out, and their figures became farther and farther away.
On the road leading to the south, Letian turned around and saw that Bu Xiaotian's figure had disappeared, and then murmured:
"After all, I still can't do it! Forget it, don't worry about it, just take it one step at a time! It's time to go to Southern Xinjiang..."
As he spoke, Lotte's face gradually became mature, and in a blink of an eye he looked like the middle-aged man he was when he met Bu Xiaotian.
I don’t know since when, the clouds in the sky have become thicker and thicker, the sun has been slowly blocked, and the wind has become noisy.
Snapped!
A drop of rain hit the leaves on the roadside, followed by the sound of rain becoming more and more intensive.
What a late spring rain!
On the east road, Bu Xiaotian looked at the heavy rain in the sky, and his body glowed with a slight green light. All the rain was isolated one foot away from his body, and not even a drop of rain fell on the black donkey.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping in a short time, Bu Xiaotian said to the black donkey under him:
"This rain is expected to last for a long time. Let's hurry up and try to find a shelter from the rain before it gets dark."
"uh-huh--"
The black donkey raised its head and let out a high-pitched roar before running wildly.
Judging from the speed at which the black donkey was running wildly, it was probably even faster than those horses that have traveled thousands of miles.
