The polar night is still there, the black and blue of the sky gradually fades, the hazy moonlight shines down in the distance, the wind and clouds surge on Qingye Peak, and the snowflakes knock on the window lattice, waking the two people up from their dreams.
"What time is it now? Forget it, it always looks dark." Xu Zhuchen yawned and dragged Xiao Mei out of the bed, and moved his numb arm, "Ah Mei, hurry up Get up, what do you want to eat?"
Xiao Mei closed his eyes, still feeling sleepy. She hummed a few times without any intention of opening her eyes: "Well... I don't want to, I'll do it anyway."
Xu Zhuchen rubbed her long black hair with one hand, while the other hand was still around her shoulders and neck. She said: "Maybe I go to Shuangfeng and see what the restaurant owner has to eat? But based on the few times I went there, it seems that the owner doesn't like the fireworks of the world."
Xiao Mei laughed a few times but still refused to open his eyes. She rested her head on Xu Zhuchen's shoulder, and her hair slid down softly from Xu Zhuchen's arm. Xu Zhuchen felt her silky long hair on her exposed skin, and her heart was tickled.
"You definitely don't want to go out in such a cold weather. I don't want to go either. How about letting the girls from Lu's shop deliver it? They have shortcuts, as long as you don't mind speaking softly."
Xu Zhuchen grinned: "Then I'd rather go to Frost King Peak. Who knows that the master of the museum doesn't know how to open a small stove? We can decide by guessing. Your Qinggong is better than mine, so maybe you can go faster."
Xiao Mei finally opened his eyes, but he still looked lazy. She gathered up her hair, grabbed the hair tie and tied it up. She looked at Xu Zhuchen and said with a smile: "We two lazy bugs can't wait to hibernate in the snow. This is not possible... Phew, but I really can't imagine how the weather can be like this." cold."
As she spoke, she opened the quilt, rubbed her arms and got out of bed, cheering herself up and saying, "Okay, getting out of the quilt is a hurdle. The next hurdle is to get out of this room."
Xu Zhuchen hugged her and lifted up the quilt, and asked confusedly: "Do you really want to go to Shuangfeng to have a meal? If you don't want to do it, well, as long as you trust me, I can also cook, and most of them are edible."
Xiao Mei grinned and shook his finger: "I understand. Zhuchen, let's go fishing in the ice lake. The ingredients are fresh and easy to cook. Just bring some seasonings. Besides, I haven't seen the legendary ' Zhinuma Ice Lake'."
Xu Zhuchen was finally able to retract her arms. She put on her clothes, got out of bed in slippers, and tied up her hair a few times. She shook her hair, cleared her throat seriously and said, "Speaking of Qingfeng Ice Lake, I have heard a legend about the king who once lived in the North.
"Among the twenty-two generations of kings inherited from Di Wei, only one was called the 'Emperor of the Far North', that is, King Wei Cheng. King Wei Cheng expanded the territory and almost recovered the entire northern land. When he passed away, Di Wei's The territory has expanded to the entire territory north of Zhishui and east of Yufeng. These are the places we came all the way."
Xiao Mei glanced at her and tied his belt: "Which King Wei Cheng ruled the world in Kangcheng? Isn't the flag of King Wei his flag?"
Xu Zhuchen nodded: "Indeed, it is the stain of the most famous 'General Ben Lei'. We have a shrine to General Jing in Meichuan. When adults talk about General Jing's life, they must mention King Wei Cheng and General Jing." s story."
As she spoke, she walked behind Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei had already gotten out of bed and was sitting in front of the dressing table, untying her long hair and tying it up again. Xu Zhuchen mischievously reached out to hold up her long hair and lifted it up. Xiao Mei tilted his head and gave her a glare. He wanted to look fierce, but he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"I'm still confused about these historical stories. Don't make trouble for me. Let's first explain clearly what the relationship between King Wei Cheng and Qingye Peak is."
Xu Zhuchen withdrew his fingers from Xiao Mei's hair and rubbed his fingers with some regret: "Okay, I'll tell you. You can think about it slowly. First, remember the story of you and me."
She sat on the edge of the bed and continued: "After General Ben Lei passed away, King Cheng was hunting in the North and saw a huge northern snow lion. At that time, the glacial lake under Qingfeng was still a swamp, and above the swamp The sun was shining brightly, and the snow lion was illuminated all white and gilded. She did not hurt King Cheng, but she shed tears and knelt before him."
"As the largest predator in the north, the snow lion has been extinct for many years. Its reappearance is a heresy and a variable. King Cheng and the snow lion looked at each other for a long time, as if they were communicating with an old friend. In the end, for the people of the north, To ensure his safety, King Cheng cut off the snow lion's head and hung it on the city gate of Zhiyang. And the giant sword that cut off the snow lion's head was sunk by him into the swamp to signify the end of the disaster."
"Since then, Qingfeng Zhinumao quickly froze and turned into a glacial lake full of broken ice. The name Zhimuma has thus become the synonym for this place. Twenty-four years later, King Wei Cheng was imprisoned in his palace. People hanged to death, and no one knows who did it. That night, the lion's head on the Zhiyang Gate fell and turned into a puddle of snow."
"From that day on, Zhinuma Ice Lake and Qingye Lengfeng were used as the dividing line, and the north of Qingfeng began to fall into the polar night. Even two hundred years after the death of King Wei Cheng, autumn was the polar night, and it has become They understand the rules of this place. This is especially true for Qingfeng Ice Lake."
After she finished telling this story, Xiao Mei had already tied up her long hair and was about to put on the hair crown. Seeing how serious she was, Xu Zhuchen couldn't help but move forward, carefully placed his chin on her shoulder, and asked: "It's just a trip to the ice lake, why are you so prepared."
Xiao Mei touched her hanging white hair and wrapped a strand of hair on her temples around her finger: "Of course you don't have to do this when getting along with others. But if I want to go out with you, I have to dress up - I'm worried that you won't be able to catch fish when you go fishing." It’s been a whole day, it would be bad if my hair froze.”
As she spoke, she handed the hairpin embedded with rubies to Xu Zhuchen. Xu Zhuchen fastened her hair crown back and forth, held the hairpin, and inserted it into the crown to secure it. With a click, the hair crown was closed, and the bright red gems were firmly set on the silver jewelry, just like her eyes, which naturally made her like it more and more.
Xiao Mei selected two large cloaks, one black and one white, and handed them over. The two of them put on their boots and prepared to go out. She extinguished the brazier in the room, and Xu Zhuchen walked out of the wooden house first, looked around, and said with a smile: "I still admire you, how did you find a house that you can live in in a place like this."
Xiao Mei opened the thick curtain, and his face was immediately covered in snow flakes. She wiped the snow on her face and sighed: "Instead of admiring me, it is better to admire the masters of the escort agency. Most of the things here are delivered by them. Zhuchen, next time there is not enough daily necessities, Let’s go for a run on our own, or are you worried that your Qinggong is not as good as mine?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and in unison they started to use Qinggong and flew towards the ice lake at the foot of the mountain.
