Fish swimming around the world

Anyway, Silver Moon Peak is over, and in line with the idea of ​​​​hurrying up sooner rather than later, Mr. Jiang can complete the remaining more than a thousand miles in only two days. You know, they are in the wild mountains and there are no decent roads at all.

While passing by Cuigu, I spent two hours paying homage to the heroic spirits.

Taibai Mountain is very far to the north, and like Cangshan Mountain where it intersects, part of both is the border zone with the barbarians.

Looking at the majestic and sacred mountain peak in the distance, Jiang Fan sighed. It was indeed the highest peak in the Taibai Mountains, Baiyun Peak.

The peak is 1,000 meters high, and the mountains are small at a glance. The upper third is covered with snow all year round, and the lower part becomes lush after two months.

The top of the mountain is not pointed. Jiang Fan has heard that there is a huge depression on the entire top of the mountain, which was caused by a volcanic eruption. Now it has turned into a lake, which the world calls Yunchi.

There are rumors in the world that Yunchi was once the residence of immortals, protected by mountains and seas and strange beasts, and could not be visited by mortals.

Snow Falcon was very excited because, for no other reason, this was the place where he was born. I heard Yun Fuyao say that Xiaoxue was hatched from an egg that Ling Yun took away from here a few years ago.

However, no matter how remote the place, you can still find traces of human life. According to Hu Xiaoling, there are three or four small villages scattered in the wilderness at the foot of Baiyunfeng Mountain. The closest ones are dozens of miles apart, and the far ones are more than a hundred miles away. The largest number of people is no more than a hundred, and they basically make a living by collecting herbs and hunting. It is said that they all fled to the mountains to escape the war many years ago.

Looking at the vast wasteland in front of her, Hu Xiaoling sighed with emotion. This is where the nine-tailed fox picked her up and gave it to the old woman Wang who lived alone at the foot of the mountain.

Later, the barbarians went south to the Wei State to harvest grass in the valley and were expelled by the Wei State. A small group of the defeated soldiers unexpectedly escaped here. The barbarian defeated soldiers were like vicious bandits and plundered these villages. Grandma Wang had no choice but to take the little ones with her. The fox fled to the mainland. After several wanderings, Grandma Wang died of hunger and cold, and her old illness worsened, leaving only the young Hu Xiaoling who became a beggar. Later, she was lucky enough to meet Meng Chanjuan, and she was not in that coldest place. In the winter, he froze to death in the ruined temple.

"Mama Wang's life is poor enough, but she can adopt you, which shows that she has a kind heart. It is right for you to come to worship her. This is filial piety." Jiang Fan approved of Hu Xiaoling's approach.

Hu Xiaoling nodded with a hint of sadness on her face: "My godmother's bones were later dug out by people sent by White Fox's mother, re-intermented, and the ashes were sent back to her hometown for burial."

Jiang Fan nodded secretly. No wonder these orphans were so loyal to Meng Chanjuan. She had indeed done many things for them.

"Do you remember the way? Can you find home?"

Hu Xiaoling looked up and nodded: "I can't forget it. Although I was still young at that time, there was no one at home. My godmother took me with her every time she went out to work. I will never forget everything here."

"Well, let's go there."

Not long after they set off, dozens of figures quickly appeared in the grass behind them, and they stopped only when they arrived at the place where they were just now.

The leader was a man wrapped in a black robe. Even his head was wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed. They were a pair of very peculiar eyes, the pupils were silver, shining with pearl-like fluorescence.

"You bastard, why are you running so fast!" A man in gray cursed while holding his thigh and panting.

"Is he a wild boar? Damn it... Damn it, even a wild boar can't run away like him. It's a thousand miles, I'm exhausted."

Another man in gray vomited a few mouthfuls of phlegm before he could finally catch his breath.

A man in gray who looked like a leader said to the man in black: "Lord, what do you think we will do next?"

The man in black was silent for a moment: "Are you sure he came down from Silver Moon Peak?"

His voice was strange, cold and indifferent, seemingly without any emotion.

"Yes, I dare to guarantee it with my head. I saw them going up the mountain with my own eyes, but for some reason, thousands of giant wolves rushed up. I was scared at the time, but for some reason, some of them didn't even pass by me. Look at me. But you think it’s strange that that young man with a child didn’t have anything wrong with him, just wandering up and down like he was going for a walk.”

The man in black said slowly: "Cangshan Mountain, Silver Moon Peak, where the Wolf Demon King is... This person is walking up and down calmly, there must be something strange. Follow him first, don't disturb them."

"yes."

Jiang Fan and the little fox's first stop was naturally Grandma Wang's old house, where she is now buried.

Surprisingly, the dilapidated wooden house in the little fox's impression did not collapse. Instead, it looked clean and tidy. There were obvious signs of repairs in many places, and it was obvious that someone was maintaining it.

"It must be the white fox mother..." Hu Xiaoling's eyes filled with mist.

Jiang Fan nodded secretly, Meng Chanjuan was as careful as her hair, and her methods of winning people's hearts were really irresistible.

Pushing open the firewood door, a small courtyard comes into view. There are no weeds in it, the ground is flat and smooth, and there is only a tomb on the west side. There is a simple but flat stone tablet with the owner's name engraved on it.

When the little fox saw it, he suddenly felt sad, and the silver beans fell with a crash. The next moment, there was a call and he fell down in front of the tombstone.

Jiang Fan took out the incense from the bamboo tube on his back, walked forward slowly, and patted Hu Xiaoling's back gently: "Stop crying, the deceased is gone. Let's put some incense on it."

After a long time, the little fox stopped feeling sad and burned incense to worship.

Jiang Fan also burned a stick of incense to pay tribute to this old woman who was still kind despite suffering.

Afterwards, Hu Xiaoling did not leave, but sat in front of the tomb, whispering something in a low voice.

Jiang Fan understood that she must have many things to say to Grandma Wang, so he stopped disturbing her and observed the courtyard alone.

The yard was really small, nothing special. Jiang Fan walked into the house. There was only one room, where cooking and resting were obviously done, and the furnishings were extremely simple. There is a memorial tablet of Grandma Wang on the altar table in the center.

They looked very ordinary, and in the end Jiang Fan was convinced that they were just ordinary poor people.

But I can't figure it out. The nine-tailed fox is obviously not a mortal. Where did it get Hu Xiaoling from, and why did it give her to an ordinary old woman?

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Fan's eyes fell on a wooden box in the corner of the room.

There was no taboo, Jiang Fan opened it directly.

On the top layer, there are a few very old clothes, which must have been adapted from adults' clothes. It seems that they were probably worn by Hu Xiaoling when she was a child.

After flipping through it casually a few times, Jiang Fan's eyes were suddenly attracted by the item at the bottom.

He took it out and spread it out. It was obviously a swaddle. It looked nothing special from the outside, but the lining was very unusual. Ordinary people would probably think it was just brocade, but Jiang Fan had seen so many luxury goods. He gently twisted his fingers and felt warm. Silky smooth, this is...

For a moment, Jiang Fan's expression changed slightly - this is Tiansi silk!
