Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

night.

In a private room of a restaurant.

Bai Xuanfeng put a menu on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao and Luo Xing.

"Order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat."

"really?"

Looking at Luo Xing's excited expression, Bai Xuanfeng seemed to suddenly remember something and his face froze.

He coughed dryly: "Well, order it."

At first, Xiao didn't understand Bai Xuanfeng's reaction, but when Luo Xing asked "Xiao, is there anything you want to eat?" and handed him the menu, he understood why Bai Xuanfeng reacted that way.

Luoxing ordered almost all the dishes, and more than one serving of each - except the dishes with radishes.

Xiao's eyes widened subconsciously, and he stared at Luo Xing blankly, as if asking, "You ordered so much, can you finish it?"

Luo Xing patted his belly and made a "no problem" gesture.

Xiao let out a sigh of relief, ordered the dishes he had not ordered, and handed the menu to Bai Xuanfeng. After reading it, the latter's mouth twitched, and finally he turned his head away helplessly.

Soon, the dishes were brought up one by one. Looking at the speed at which the falling stars were being consumed, Xiao was sure that he had been worrying too much.

He suddenly had a very irresponsible guess. Maybe it was because Luo Xing ate too much that the people here gave Luo Xing the permission to enter the mountain and let him find food by himself.

Luo Xing was eating very happily, while Bai Xuanfeng, on the other hand, looked worried.

"Is the city lord still thinking about what happened just now?" Xiao asked.

Bai Xuanfeng did not answer.

"Uncle Feng, Xiao is calling you." Luo Xing put down the work he was doing and shouted.

Bai Xuanfeng was slightly startled, as if he had just heard it.

"what did you just say?"

Xiao repeated what he had just said, and Bai Xuanfeng nodded and said, "Yes. It will take another month for the cold wind on the mountain to weaken to a point where most people can pass through. Now... the officers can move around in it, but they can't all go into the mountain to search. They have to leave people to be on the lookout for the beast tide, and even if they all go, there are still too few people."

"No one else in town knows how to get through the cold winds?"

"There used to be. The Li family was protected by the mountain god and had many branches in the city. They were considered a large family, but..." Bai Xuanfeng smiled bitterly, "Eight years ago, they all died."

"What happened?" Xiao put down his chopsticks and put away the expression on his face.

"What else could it be? Ancient beasts appeared, and the ancient wilderness was invaded. Those young men led the team to fight against the beasts in the cold wind, and in the end no one survived." Bai Xuanfeng sneered, and hatred was revealed in his turbid eyes.

"If we had not been attacked by an army before the monsters arrived and suffered heavy losses, we would not have needed to rely on the manifestation of the power of the mountain god."

The wine glass creaked in his hand, and just when it was about to be crushed, he suddenly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass with hatred.

Before he could feel the hatred filling his stomach, Xiao vaguely heard a voice, as if someone was cursing a thief.

A conflict from the past.

Xiao thought.

When he arrived here, the war had been over for four years.

Four years can change a lot of things, and coupled with the strange resolution at the end of the war, it is now difficult to see any traces of the war, except for a small scar occasionally.

It is difficult for him to make any comments on things he has not experienced.

Finally, Bai Xuanfeng took a deep breath, gently placed the wine glass on the table, and waved his hand: "I accidentally said too much, it's all old things, it's better not to mention it, but the current matter cannot be delayed, the worst case scenario is that the envoy will also corrupt the mountain god."

Xiao came back to his senses: "Will the mountain god be corrupted?"

Isn't it said that mountain gods are an illusory belief? Does the envoy have this ability?

It's a bit scary.

"Who knows?" Bai Xuanfeng looked at the walls around him and said in a low voice: "I heard them say that this group of monsters can even corrode the sky..."

It seems even more terrifying.

For no reason, Xiao thought of what the one-legged green crane said on the Tongtian Road of Zhenjiao Gate, and he seemed to understand the meaning of that sentence.

Bearing the mark of the "world" and becoming the enemy of the "world"...

Because of the erosion, "the sky" regards the creatures living under it as invaders and foreign objects?

Why does it feel a bit like cancer?

Bai Xuanfeng leaned back in his chair and said helplessly, "It seems possible to erode the dragon vein given by the late emperor."

Wait, what is a mountain god? A dragon vein?

Xiao was very surprised.

But if this is the real situation...

He remembered what the fortune teller from the Li family had said to him before, and he might as well give it a try.

Luo Xing also stopped what he was saying, his eyes wandered between Bai Xuanfeng and Xiao's faces, and hesitantly asked, "Is this... something we can know?"

"No." Bai Xuanfeng stood up and put on a serious expression, giving people the feeling that he was going to kill you the next moment, but soon his expression softened, "But if things really develop in the worst direction, you will know it sooner or later."

The more powerful a person is, the more intelligence he is entitled to during wartime.

Xiao and Luoxing, one is the best among the king level, and the other works together with his contracted beast. They can suppress most of the king level. Except for General Ye and the immortal from Cangxuanmen, the two can be said to be the top combat forces.

Bai Xuanfeng continued to himself, "Thousands of years ago, immortals fought on the mountain, and the town below the mountain was nearly destroyed. The late emperor was furious and granted the dragon vein. Without permission, no one from the immortal world could enter the mountain. Baihe Mountain and the treasures in the mountain completely belonged to the mortal world..."

Xiao knew that the royal families of the mortal world never indulged the immortals, but he didn't expect them to be so tough. You hurt my people, so you can't enter here again unless you get permission.

This also answers the doubts that arose when I heard this from Luo Xing.

Simple rules can only protect against gentlemen, not villains, but what if there is a force to maintain the rules?

However, he was still a little curious about how this dragon vein could distinguish whether the person was a mortal or a fairy.

Bai Xuanfeng's voice sank: "If this power that can achieve the same effect as the "Contract" backfires, what the consequences will be, I can't imagine."

Xiao's expression changed slightly. He wanted to comfort Bai Xuanfeng, but he didn't know how to start. After all, he hadn't investigated the matter in detail and didn't know what the situation was.

Luo Xing suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not fragrant anymore: "When Luo Xing is full, I will go to Uncle Lingchuan to apply for a magic weapon to go up the mountain."

This sentence also reminded Xiao that if he didn't know the situation clearly, he should investigate it, otherwise he wouldn't know what happened when he was about to die. Besides, he couldn't just run away when he saw that something was wrong, right?

He responded, "I'll go too."

Let's verify the fortune teller's words on the way.

Just then, Bai Xuanfeng's communicator rang. It was Meng Jijun looking for him.

"Take your time eating. I'm going to leave you later." As if he had expected this, he left after leaving a few words. From outside the door, the voices "put it on the account of the City Lord's Mansion" could be faintly heard.

......

Six hours ago, on Baihe Mountain.

With the help of the morning light, Fang Chongguang led a hundred people to climb to the highest point they could reach.

There was a biting cold wind in front of him and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers behind him, as if there was an invisible barrier dividing the seasons on the mountain into two.

Following his order, everyone dispersed. They took out some kind of detection magic weapon and explored along the edge of the cold wind.

More than five hours later, Fang Chongguang received the news that traces of snow had been discovered.

His heart sank and he quickly rushed to the location in the message to verify.

Not only does this thing allow the Envoy to move quickly, it also serves as an anchor for erosion and must be removed as soon as possible.

"Snow traces have been found. The location has been transmitted back. Send someone over to clean it up immediately." After he explained the situation to the other side of the communication stone, he stared at the cold wind ahead in a daze.

Seeing that he had not made any move, one of the people who discovered the snow said, "General, are you planning to go in and search?"

Fang Chongguang said nothing, but turned to look at the two people beside him.

Another person said: "This is not a difficult task for the general, but for us..."

"You know, the brothers who went deeper last time all got lost in there, and it was the kid from Cang Xuan Sect who helped us bring them back."

Fang Chongguang showed a thoughtful look, and after a while he let out a long sigh: "It's getting late. At night, our vision is limited and it's easy to encounter danger. Send the order down and prepare to set up camp."
