The old man's confused questions made Xiao He confused, but he didn't think much and turned around and left.
Nihan Blessed Land was in a depression, with white snow all year round. Not far away, Xiao He saw a low mountain. As he hiked up, there happened to be a cave. Finally, there was no need to blast a hole out of thin air like Dian Mo. Xiao He picked up some dry firewood, held up a torch in the cave, dressed in white clothes, and slept on the ground.
The sound of wind whistling at the entrance of the cave and the sound of burning torches came to his ears. Xiao He stared at the roof of the cave by the light of the fire. All the past events flashed before his eyes like a marquee, making him fall into deep memories.
Thinking back to the time when I had just left home and met the Dian Mo and the Liquor Monster, I thought back to the time I escaped from death with Kong Kong Li Gui, I thought back to my days at Guiyan Peak, I thought back to my home that turned into powder. With the blood debt of dozens of lives, he thought of Ouyang Xin who died in front of him, thought of Yu Kui, Yu Qing, thought of Xing Yu who secretly gave up the top spot among the disciples to him, and gradually, he thought of Wei Yue who he had just killed. , Xiao He knew that this time, he was probably too impulsive.
If nothing unexpected happens, Liuguang Blessed Land will definitely put pressure on Guiyan Peak. It is unknown how much impact it will have on Guiyan Peak. At this moment, he can only hope that the Shaolin Ancient Temple will provide guarantee to calm the matter. After causing such a disaster, Master Tianyanzi's words of farewell were still in his ears, and he had not forgotten the trust of the seven elders of Guiyan Peak. He knew that he could not look back, but where could he go if he did not look back? Xiao He began to feel confused.
Gradually, sleepiness came over, and Xiao He fell asleep in this unconscious thought. He slept for a long time, fought several life and death battles, and escaped for so long. He was too tired.
When he woke up again, the sky was already bright. The torch beside him had been extinguished at some point, leaving only ashes on the ground. Xiao He stood up and gently rubbed his forehead, stretched again, then stood up and walked out of the cave. Go.
Xiao He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around. It was completely different from Liuguang Blessed Land. Nihan Blessed Land was a pure white scene. It was a low wild mountain with only white snow and rocks everywhere. Xiao He touched his belly and felt that I was a little hungry, so I decided to walk around to see if I could find some food.
As Xiao He walked along, his ears suddenly moved, and a small, rustling sound came from the grass. It was a hare that also came out to look for food. Xiao He smiled knowingly, and it seemed that there was something delicious to eat today.
In order to ensure the deliciousness of the food, Xiao He did not use magic power, but picked up a stone and hit the rabbit with just his finger power. However, with a "ding dong" sound, the stone was knocked away by another stone before it touched the hare's fur, and the frightened hare quickly fled into the grass and disappeared in a few moments. Seeing that the delicious food on his lips just ran away, Xiao He was about to get angry when he saw a girl. Under the pink cloak, it was still easy to see her petite figure. She had a pointed face, slender eyebrows, smiling eyebrows, and skin like Snow, the woman's beauty actually made Xiao He stop his anger and stop where he was without saying a word.
The woman walked over with a small white horse. It was she who had struck the stone just now.
"Why did you kill that rabbit?!" the woman yelled loudly.
"Huh? What?" Xiao He was stunned by her question.
"I asked you why you killed that rabbit!" The woman's voice was a little louder.
"Oh!" Xiao He finally heard what the woman was asking, and laughed dumbly: "I'm hungry!"
The woman may not have expected Xiao He to answer like this. She was stunned for a moment. She may not know how to answer. She looked at Xiao He with a look of disgust for a few seconds. She ignored Xiao He and continued to leave with her little white horse.
Looking at the woman's leaving figure, Xiao He was inexplicably confused. In fact, he could see that this girl was also a practitioner, and her little white horse was not a mortal thing, it must be a magical beast. However, the world is vast, and it is not a strange thing to meet a practitioner. Xiao He didn't think about it anymore. He touched his hungry belly and thought to himself: It's better to find a nearby city and fill his stomach in a restaurant. , I changed my clothes by the way. Although I could use my magic power to avoid the cold, my clothes were still not suitable for the cold weather.
Thinking of this, Xiao He did not continue to chase his hare, but walked with his sword to find the nearest city to him. After flying like this for a while, Xiao He saw a path hidden between light snow and grass. After flying not far along the path, he saw a city built among the white snow. This city was on the edge of the Nihan Blessed Land. The size was close to that of Xuanyang City. Xiao He was overjoyed and lowered his figure. The roar of the cries mixed with the aroma of food hit his face, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
Whenever he goes to a place full of fireworks, Xiao He likes to take a stroll. Just like at this moment, he is dressed in white and dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan and walking in this city called "Cold Mist".
Not long after leaving, Xiao He noticed that everyone on the street seemed to be looking around at him, especially the girls hiding behind the doors, flagpoles, and carriages on the street, secretly looking at him with shy expressions. He was afraid of being discovered by him. In fact, it's no wonder. Xiao He's dress makes him look like a foreigner, not to mention his bright eyes, which are naturally attractive to young girls.
Xiao He seemed very uncomfortable being looked at like this. He quickened his pace and wanted to find a store to buy a suit of clothes that conformed to the local customs.
After walking not far, Xiao He randomly chose a store, skipped the pleasantries with the boss, and casually chose a white cotton robe to put on him. When he walked to the avenue of Hanmist City, he seemed to be much normal. , at least Xiao He felt much more comfortable.
After finishing the matter of clothes, Xiao He's stomach had begun to rebel. He quickly found the nearest restaurant and walked in. He chose a corner to sit down. The waiter came over and greeted him enthusiastically: "Sir, you would like to eat something." What?"
Xiao He smiled and said, "I'm really hungry. Let's try some of your store's specialties!"
"Okay, wait a moment!" the waiter shouted happily in a long voice, turned around and left. Not long after, several dishes were served on the table. Xiao He lowered his head and saw that the food was full of color, fragrance and appetite. The waiter introduced: "Please take a look, sir, these are our famous dishes, freshly cut fish, roasted with spirit, and cooked with soy sauce."
Xiao He was shocked and said: "I have only heard of such a famous dish in rumors, but I didn't know that such a delicious dish really exists in the world!"
The waiter continued: "Objectively speaking, you are very knowledgeable. These dishes are all rare and top-quality. Let's talk about the fresh-cut fish. The fish is from the deep ice of the Nusha River. The Lingxiaozhi and Suzaorou It uses the best mutton and pork, I’m not bragging to you, I guarantee you will never find another restaurant that can make these two dishes.”
After hearing this, Xiao He couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth. It tasted really delicious, and he felt refreshed after just one bite. It was several times more delicious than the barbecue that Louwailou only had once a year. Xiao He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that you can eat such delicious food in a small shop in Biancheng!"
Hearing Xiao He's soliloquy, the waiter immediately said with dignity: "I'm not bragging to you, don't think our store is not as elegant as restaurants in big cities, in fact, our boss has a lot of background." Here, the shopkeeper standing at the counter coughed lightly, and then the waiter stopped his voice and retreated angrily.
When Xiao He saw this, although he was surprised, he didn't bother to ask questions. He took a sip of wine and a sip of meat and started to feast.
Not long after, another girl walked in at the door of the restaurant. Xiao He took a closer look and found that it was the girl who stopped him from killing the hare. Seeing him come in, the waiter went to greet him very enthusiastically. The girl just said lightly: "Help me feed the horse and prepare some food and wine."
The waiter responded respectfully, asked the girl to sit down, and then went to feed the horse. Xiao He slowed down in enjoying the delicious food. While drinking, he looked at the girl sitting not far away. However, the girl did not say anything to her. He took another look over here.
However, Xiao He didn't care much about the girl's proud attitude. After drinking and eating, Xiao He reached out and took out dozens of taels of broken silver from his arms, and called the waiter: "Check out!"
Xiao Er bent over and ran over respectfully, looked at the silver in Xiao He's hand, his expression changed slightly and said: "Objective, don't make fun of Xiao He."
"Huh?" Xiao He was very confused and said, "What do you mean by this? Isn't this money not enough to pay for the meal?"
"Of course not, it's just..." The waiter hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't dare to speak, but he still said: "We don't accept cash in this store."
This made Xiao He even more confused and said, "This is the first time I've heard that there are restaurants in the world that don't accept cash."
"Isn't this your first time going down the mountain?" the waiter asked.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao He turned from doubt to surprise, and asked: "Can you see that I am a cultivator?"
The shop waiter replied: "That's natural. Objectively, I don't know anything when I go down the mountain for the first time. Our shop only accepts fellow practitioners from various sects. The currency used for circulation is also different from the gold and silver used in the world. The most commonly used currency is Guiyou. money."
"Kuiyou money?" Xiao He repeated with a wry smile, "So I am penniless."
"This..." The waiter didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to look at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper had already understood what he was saying, and was thinking that even if he made a friend, he was about to say that the money would be free of charge. However, before he could say anything, the girl who had been silent at the side said: "His money I paid for him." After saying that, he put a copper-colored Kuiyou coin on the table, got up and left.
When Xiao He saw this, he hurriedly patted the waiter on the shoulder and said thank you, and then chased after the girl.
As she walked on the broad street, the girl noticed Xiao He behind her and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"I have to find a way to pay back the meal you just paid for me." Xiao He said as he took two steps and walked side by side with the girl.
"No, I just let your hare run away during the day, so I'll pay it to you as compensation!" the girl said, "Besides, you don't have to worry about this small amount of money."
"Actually, this is not a trivial matter. I thought I was wealthy in terms of money, but today it opened my eyes." Xiao He said.
"You have so little experience in the world. If there is nothing important, you should go back to your sect and concentrate on practicing!" After the girl said that, she turned over and rode on her white horse, and flew away in the dust, leaving only Xiao He standing there dumbfounded.
