Start into the abyss

Chapter 70 69. Traveling Overseas (4.6K words)
Bai Shan has been thinking about two things: to find more exercises and to go to farther places.

Now it has all been realized at once, and the destination is still the overseas country of ice and fire that "bypasses the land densely populated by cranes and slaves".

He had never heard of this kind of place before, but he felt a little inexplicably excited and happy in his heart.

After seeing Taohua County full of chicken droppings, broken porcelain pieces, and charcoal scum, he really wanted to go outside, whether it was to become stronger or to broaden his horizons.

However, he temporarily suppressed his excitement and began to open up his worldview by asking questions.

"What is a crane slave?"

When I asked last time, the little rascal changed the topic, but now he has practiced "The Tiger Roaring at Night", and he has met the real lady, and was told about the existence of the abyss. Acceptance has been greatly improved, and today is different from the past.

Sure enough, the little rascal did not refuse to answer this time, but said Nuo Nuo: "Crane slaves are things raised by immortals. There are many of them, but they don't have much intelligence and emotion. Their strength is similar to that of ordinary warriors in the fifth realm of martial arts. They have a certain influence on our aura." A higher degree of recognition will attack us once it is recognized.

Most of the crane slaves act together with the crane immortals, but they cast a wide net.

And if we kill the crane slave, the crane fairy will follow us through the position of the dead crane slave.

If we kill the Crane Immortal again, those disgusting immortals behind the Crane Immortal will come looking for us again.

This is also the real reason why we came to Taohua County.

This place is very remote, even a crane slave can't find it, and we can block the breath, so it's even more reliable.

Your mustard bag was obtained after we killed the Crane Immortal in another place, so it can be regarded as deliberate, making them crooked. "

Bai Shan asked again: "What is Foundation Establishment?"

Xiaolanghuo said: "Before the birth of the immortal veins, all the methods of true qi and mind can be called the method of building the foundation. The foundation is the qi of building. When the qi is strong, the body will be fed back. After reaching a certain level, The purple mansion between the eyebrows will be opened, and the sleeping immortal veins inside will be awakened."

Bai Shan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What is the relationship between the immortal and us?"

A cold look flashed across the eyes of the little rascal, "We wish all the immortals would die, and the immortals see us that way."

Baishan continued with a hundred thousand whys, "What is a fairy?"

Xiaomei said: "Okay, uncle, don't ask any more questions, you are still far away from this world, so let's meet later if you can."

Bai Shan said: "It's okay, I want to know earlier, so that I can better stay away from them and avoid contact."

Xiaomei: .
Bai Shan continued to ask: "What is the abyss?"

Xiaomei: .
Bai Shan asked, "Where do immortals live?"

Xiaomei: .
Bai Shan asked again: "What is Da Guangming Temple?"

Xiaomei: .
Bai Shan continued to work hard, and he didn't hide it. He wanted to pry Miss Xiaomei's mouth open with this barrage of questions.

Xiaomei wants to speak but stops, keeps talking and stops, wants to stop and wants to say
Then, she pulled up the red line on her lips in a panic, and made a sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

The two stared at each other.

Bai Shan looked at the thread secretly sewn on the red lips, and sighed, "I won't ask any more."

Only then did Xiaomei pull the red thread, and then laughed "goose goose goose goose", "Master, in fact, as long as you promise me one thing, I can tell you everything."

Bai Shan asked expectantly, "What's the matter?"

With spring water flowing in Miss Xiaomei's eyes, she said in a charming voice, "Accompany me to sleep every day."

Bai Shan said: "Forget it then."

Xiaomei Nuonuo said: "Grandpa, why? Anyway, you will definitely sleep with Miss Song's family, there is nothing wrong with adding me, just treat me as a housemaid."

Bai Shan shook his head slowly and said, "No."

Marrying Miss Song's family is just a task, there is no way, he has no choice.

The snow is still floating, passing through the houses of every household in the county, one after another.

On the ground, the accumulated snow was already very high, flooding the ankles, and when one stepped on it, the boots with slightly shorter uppers would be filled with snow, and the soles of the feet would be freezing cold.

But Bai Shan was still happily walking quickly in the snow.

Although the [-] reasons for his muddy legs could not be answered, he was still very happy.

Being able to go to the outside world, he couldn't help feeling a kind of joy for the New Year and the festival in his heart.

Moreover, this is also the wish of both him and Sister Miaomiao.

Soon, he came to the old house.

From the cracks in the windows of the old house, warm air radiated out.

In the room, Bai Miaochan was drinking delicious snake soup with the children. She was a little surprised when she saw him coming, but she put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up, and walked outside.

Hua Xiaoshuang called out sweetly: "Brother Bai~~"

Bai Shan smiled and nodded at her, then went out to meet Bai Miaochan who walked out.

Hua Xiaoshuang got up silently, added another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then scooped up the few fat snake meat pieces in the pot with a spoon, saying: "This is for Brother Bai, you are not allowed to put it in it. Yes, especially Han Yang."

Han Yang patted the table and said, "Hua Xiaoshuang, who do you think I am, Han Yang? I won't rob Big Brother Bai if I rob anyone! Don't talk about robbing, even if I give the bowl to Big Brother Bai." .”

Hua Xiaoshuang chuckled.

Seeing that she was going to play tricks, Han Yang hurriedly said, "Don't affect the conversation between Brother Bai and Sister Bai."

After all, he looked towards the crack of the door.

Outside the door, the boy in brocade and the girl in white were walking out along the temporary bricks in the courtyard.

"Bai Shan, what's the matter? I've only eaten half of the meal! It's going to be cold in this winter, and the soup is filled with meat and oil, and it's about to freeze into white lumps." Bai Miaochan rubbed her hands and sighed. Hot air, stomping on the little cotton boots.

Bai Shan said happily: "Sister Miaomiao, we are going to a far, far place."

"Ah?" Bai Miaochan was stunned for a moment, this topic caught her off guard.

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Sister Miaomiao, do you still remember that we used to say that when you have money, you should go out to see the outside world, eat delicious food, drink delicious food, see life in different places, and see other people's lives?" Life."

Bai Miaochan finally came to her senses, her crystal eyes lit up, "Remember! Where are you going then? Why are you going all of a sudden?"

Bai Shan said softly: "Going to a place called Ice and Fire Country overseas is still for my practice, but I can't say that to the outside world."

Although Xiaomei said that he would pick someone to go there, Baishan would definitely bring Bai Miaochan with him. He vaguely guessed that there must be a "second-level aura place with strong fire power" in this country of ice and fire. The name "Land of High-level Spiritual Qi" made him have to bring Sister Miaomiao with him.

Guess if this spiritual temperature is nourished, sister Miaomiao's broken veins and body will be healed?

Besides, although he thinks that more than a year is enough, the little prodigal has booked ten years. For such a long time and such a long distance, some unpredictable variables are likely to occur during the period. If he and Miao Sister Miao separated, maybe it was a farewell, so... no matter what, he had to take Sister Miao Miao with him.

In the previous conversation, he also told Miss Xiaomei, and Miss Xiaomei also agreed to ask him for him and reassure him.Because Bai Miaochan is an ordinary person, it is not a big problem to bring them together. The only thing to worry about is whether Bai Miaochan can bear such a long distance.

"Overseas, Ice and Fire Country."

Bai Miaochan was stunned, she never thought in her life that she would go to sea again, and she would go to a country with a very magical name, she couldn't help asking, "This country of ice and fire sounds like a mysterious name, it's hot and cold mean?"

"Maybe it's volcanoes and snow fields." Bai Shan guessed. At the same time, he remembered the "Binghuo Island" described in a book he read in his previous life. It was located in the north and there was heavy snow, but because of the volcano, there was a place It is like spring all the year round.

"Volcano? Snow?" Bai Miaochan asked in amazement, "Is that place suitable for people to live in?"

Bai Shan suddenly became a little unsure. After all, the "Ice and Fire Island" he saw in his previous life was an isolated island, but the place he was going to here was the "Ice and Fire Country".

With the word "country", it must be a place with political power, influence, and culture.

But then again, who said that this "country" must be a human country?
He would have thought of this too, but his wish was fulfilled and he was really excited, so he thought of telling Sister Miao Miao the first time, and women are naturally careful, so the first time he was not excited, but thought of some practical things, Then these practical questions were asked.

This question brought "excitement" to the ground, and turned it into a matter of "eating, drinking, lassing, basic necessities of life".

Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "I'll ask again."

Bai Miaochan said: "If you ask, remember to ask what to eat there, what is the price of the food, what is the money, and what clothes to bring. If there is a big difference from ours, we have to buy more things tomorrow."

Bai Shan nodded again and again, then ran back.

Soon, Bai Shan returned to the Song family.

But the girl Xiaomei who always waited for him at the landscape pavilion on the left did not show up, which is very strange.

He wandered around again, and found that the old sewing lady in the medicine garden was not there either.

He went to the library again.

The door of the Zangshu Pavilion was not closed, but the old man in the pavilion with his back bent and his sleeves hanging down was not there.

Bai Shan felt a little strange in his heart, he happened to see a maid, so he walked up and asked, "Where's Miss Mei?"

The servant girl stopped in her tracks and said, "My lord, Miss Mei and the others seem to be discussing something."

The doubts in Bai Shan's heart were immediately resolved. This should be a matter of discussing travel.

He glanced at Zangshu Pavilion not far away. He remembered that there seemed to be some local chronicles in Zangshu Pavilion, and there was no guarantee that there would be information about the Ice and Fire Kingdom in it. However, Mr. Wang is not there, and neither is Xiaomei. what?
He continued to ask the maid: "Can I go directly to the Library Pavilion?"

The servant girl smiled and said, "I don't know, my lord, that's not our place."

Not our place?
Bai Shan was stunned.

"Grandpa, I'll go to work first." The servant girl ran away.

Bai Shan thought for a while, walked around the deep pool in front of the pavilion again, climbed up the steps, and walked to the wide-open door of the Library Pavilion, looking inside.

The winter sun shines through the open door, illuminating a fan-shaped field of light, but the depths are dark because there are no windows.

The bookshelf between light and darkness is casting a thin shadow.

On the walls and on the table, some dark-toned copper candles can be seen everywhere.

He thought about it, and took a tentative step forward.

And just when this step crossed the threshold, the entire Zangshu Pavilion seemed to come alive.

The bookshelves, copper lamps, tables and chairs all seem to have life and start to squirm, the entire book library seems to be mottled, the shadows are like ink flowing, and tremblingly turned into gray dots, and there are still strange sparkles inside. The red light, as if the flames were on the thin paper, began to invade. It gave people a sense of terror that the false surface was fading, and the truth was being revealed.

After all, Baishan still didn't step into the seemingly empty Library Pavilion at this time.

He withdrew from the threshold, and everything in the Library Pavilion returned to normal.

Afterwards, he returned to the inner house and played boxing in the snow for a while.

It was getting dark gradually.

Finally, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.

"Grandpa~~It's me~~" The voice of the little prodigal is as sweet as sweet-scented osmanthus and glutinous rice.

Bai Shan opened the door.

The peach-eyed woman in a red dress stood with her hands down in the ice and snow, covered by the afterglow of the red lanterns in the distance, making her look extraordinarily dazzling.

"Uncle!!"

The little rascal stepped in suddenly, took Bai Shan's arm, and pressed his cheek against his side. This position was acceptable to both her and Bai Shan.

"My lord, we have already discussed the candidate to go to the country of ice and fire.

There are four people in total, young lady, me, uncle, Miss Bai, and no one else.

It's my credit that Miss Bai was able to go. Would you like to thank her, uncle? "

The little rascal lowered his head, bit his finger softly, and started giggling.

Bai Shan said: "Thank you, Miss Mei."

The little prodigal said: "It's okay, this is what I should do."

Bai Shan felt that although Miss Xiaomei was rambunctious, she really took good care of him, so he said again: "Thank you."

The little rascal smiled and said, "You're really welcome."

After speaking, she leaned into Bai Shan's ear and said, "Master, Miss said that as long as you nod, you can let me marry you."

Bai Shan said: "Miss Xiaomei, you know me, I won't nod my head."

The little prodigal said: "But, you are going to get married in two days! Miss's idea is that you marry Miss Song, and then we will go to sea together.

When the time comes, you can take me along by the way, and take a housemaid as your concubine.

Then, you, I, and Miss Song will be brought together, and the three of us will sleep together.

I have already thought about it, you sleep in the middle, and then you want to be good with whom. "

Bai Shan ignored the rest of the conversation, Miss Xiaomei's topic was really endless, he was not going to answer it, so he asked: "Miss Xiaomei, is the wedding date confirmed?"

His voice was very calm, as if he wasn't the one who was going to get married.

Originally, he had longed for love, wondering why he said that marriage is the grave of love?At the same time, he secretly swore that if one day he fell in love with a girl, then he would definitely not turn the marriage into a grave, but would only make this love more beautiful.

In hindsight, the vow was a piece of shit, no love, no grave, just a long-term contract.

He marries Song Youning, protects her, puts her under house arrest, and is her husband-in-law for a lifetime.

After a lifetime, the contract is reached, and it's as simple as that.

What he gained was that he was able to integrate into a "big force that he couldn't have imagined before", harvested massive resources, and at the same time had the qualification to seek longevity for himself and sister Miaomiao.

Love?
He really couldn't fall in love with such a girl.

Xiaomei was still relentless: "Oh, uncle, just promise me."

Bai Shan said: "Miss Mei, tell me about the wedding date and arrangements, so I can make preparations."

Xiaomei sighed helplessly: "Guard Wang has done the math, three days later will be an auspicious day, so we will hold a banquet on that day.

The banquet will be held at the largest restaurant in Taohua County - a small restaurant by the lake. Local celebrities and magistrates will also be invited to the banquet.

After the banquet is over, we will leave Taohua County smoothly and go to the country of ice and fire in the name of going out for a trip to the mountains and rivers after the wedding. "

Bai Shan was taken aback, his eyes swept over the blood-like red dress of the little prodigal, and after thinking about the strange appearance of other people in the Song Mansion, he said in doubt: "We still hold a wedding banquet?"

Xiaomei said: "Of course, the Patriarch and Manager Wang will take care of the affairs. At that time, the young lady will take over Miss Song's body, but Miss Song can also feel it."

Baishan:.
So is this marrying Miss Song's family, marrying that big brother, or marrying two people together?
However, as soon as the idea came up, it disappeared again.

what is the relationship?
It's just a contract.

What do you care about?
Bai Shan didn't care about this, but asked: "Miss Xiaomei, where is the Ice and Fire Country, what are the foods there, what are the prices of the food, and what money do you need, do you want to bring a change of clothes?"

Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, Taohua stared round, she was obviously not a "person" who would think about these problems.

Her winking eyes moved, "Eh" for a long time, Nuo Nuo said: "My lord, I'd better take you to Mr. Wang's place to have a look tomorrow morning."

Wang Lao is the old man in the Library Pavilion.
