When the magic flower blooms

Under He Tiansi's insistence, Mr. Su revealed the key trick to make the snow willow tree bloom - it needs to pour limited thoughts into a bud and cultivate it attentively.

And for someone like He Tiansi, who only knows how to use brute force but cannot control his own ability, even if he uses it for a day and a night, there will be no results.

As for why He Tiansi has no self-control ability, Ming Ruoxing and Mr. Su have different opinions.

Mr. Su thinks that He Tiansi just lacks training.Ming Ruoxing is more "conspiracy theory" and directly thinks that He Tiansi has a problem with his mentality - he doesn't care that what he thinks in his heart is discovered by others, and he may even have a little idea of ​​showing off.

No matter what the truth is, Xuechiyuan probably won't be able to solve this problem anyway.

"Next, you can try the 'strong medicine'."

While saying this, Mr. Su stretched out his finger and pointed further away.

"Wentian Courtyard should have the answer you want."

____________

Taking He Tiansi to Wentianyuan was originally in Ming Ruoxing's plan.It's just that it's getting late now, so they decided to spend the night in the Xuechi courtyard.

As expected of an academy for the children of "nobility", the living facilities here are obviously much more comfortable than Hefengyuan and Chuntongyuan.The cafeteria is no longer a mediocre boxed lunch brought directly from the foot of the mountain, but a small stove cooked by an exclusive chef.

After finishing the dinner, He Tiansi was called by Mr. Su to attend the evening class of the students.Ming Ruoxing returned to the dormitory between two people alone, took a shower, and sat down to deal with some formalities before going to Wentianyuan tomorrow.

He was busy for several hours, and when the specially timed alarm clock rang, the sky outside the window was already full of stars.

Ming Ruoxing put on his coat, grabbed another piece of clothing and went out.

Almost 5 minutes later, the bell for the end of the evening class rang leisurely on the top of Xuechi Peak.In the mountains and forests, the autumn wind is blowing, the pines are rustling, and the moist mist is quietly permeating.

The temperature was five or six degrees lower than during the day, and every student who walked out of the hall after the meditation course would shudder involuntarily the moment they stepped out of the threshold.

Except for He Tiansi.

Because as soon as he went out, he put on the love coat that Ming Ruoxing sent, and it seemed that he still had a little human warmth.

"You've been waiting for me?" He smiled happily.

"What are you thinking?" He Tiansi snorted softly, "Just passing by for a walk."

As they said that, the two of them moved their long legs together in a tacit understanding and walked towards the dormitory.

"Ming, I have a merciless request."

Before taking two steps, He Tiansi suddenly said, "Can you take me to see the secret place of Snow Pond?"

Ming Ruoxing was puzzled: "Didn't you see the real Xueliu during the day? What are you still thinking about those fake illusions?"

"Then how can it be the same? Didn't you say that the one in the illusion is particularly spectacular?"

"It's true. But it's a pity. I just inquired about it this afternoon. It is said that the underground palace over there is just under maintenance. Not to mention it is now in the middle of the night, even if you go in broad daylight, you won't be allowed to enter."

"...I see." He Tiansi was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it.

On the contrary, Ming Ruoxing felt sorry for him.The two walked quietly along the mountain road for 30 to [-] meters, when he suddenly pulled He Tiansi's arm and walked onto a fork in the road.

"Take you to see something interesting."

As they spoke, the two of them walked down the thirty or forty steps along this inaccessible bluestone path.

When the light of the street lamp behind them was too weak to resist the darkness, they finally came to a flat land again.On the ground seven or eight meters away in front of him, there seemed to be something taller than a person standing quietly.

"Can you see clearly?" Ming Ruoxing activated his night vision ability, but he didn't forget to care about He Tiansi.

"Let me try."

After these few days of training, it is impossible to say that he has not improved at all.He Tiansi tried to close his eyes and concentrate, then opened them again.Although the field of vision may not be as clear as during the day, it is no longer completely dark at any rate.

So, he saw a metal explanatory board erected on the ground three or four steps away, but the text on it was not clear.Behind the commentary board, there seems to be a little reflection on the ground.

"Is there a glass cover on the ground?" He said confusedly about the scene he couldn't understand. "Is there something under the ground?"

Ming Ruoxing signaled He Tiansi to continue walking, and the two stood in front of the explanatory board.He Tiansi tried hard but still couldn't fully see the content on the sign, so he turned on the phone's light in resentment.

I saw three big red characters written on the metal plate: "The Tomb of the Urn Man"

He Tiansi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to look at the reflective spot behind him.I saw a huge grave under a huge tempered glass.

"Remember what I told you, this is the grave that I accidentally stepped on when I was fighting with other people."

Ming Ruoxing's voice was a little nostalgic.

"Generally, the owners of this kind of tomb are demi-humans with some abilities but evil intentions. They are not qualified to be buried in Yinshan Mountain after death. So they came up with a way to buy off with money or threaten to send supplies to the mountain. sent their bodies up the mountain in large urns, and then dug a pit for burial, or hid them in natural caves. This is called the tomb of the urn.”

"That's right, that's right, what you mentioned... so it's here!"

He Tiansi was not afraid, instead squatting on the glass with great interest to observe carefully.

"Why do there seem to be many charms on the wall of the tomb? They were painted during the burial?"

"No, these are all defensive measures after the discovery of the tomb."

Ming Ruoxing also squatted beside He Tiansi, resting his chin with one hand, this action even made him look a bit childish.

"Generally, this kind of urn tomb has a lot of hostility. In order to prevent the corpse from being destroyed, some even have anti-tomb robbery measures. For example, the one under our feet collapsed at that time, and a few children and I immediately entered the tomb owner. Created a fantasy world. It was the scariest place I could have imagined at the time."

At this point he paused, and seemed to sigh slightly.

He Tiansi hurriedly interrupted: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't think about it, it's not fun anyway, and it doesn't matter if you don't listen."

Ming Ruoxing shook his head: "In retrospect, the quality of that illusion was actually quite low. It was just that we were young at the time, and it was basically the first time for everyone to experience such a thing. It was really scary. Fortunately, my partner met On the other hand, thanks to him taking the lead, all of us finally escaped unscathed."

"Then... what did you see in the illusion?"

"I'm afraid you will laugh at me if I say it."

Ming Ruoxing was a little embarrassed, "A mouse bigger than a bicycle, a snake longer than a train, and..."

"Okay! I won't laugh at you based on these two alone!"

He Tiansi was speechless: "If it were me, and it was the first time I ran into something like what you said, I'm afraid the only thought would be to lie down and pretend to be dead."

"..."

Hearing what he said, Ming Ruoxing actually smiled slightly.

"Actually, our method was similar to pretending to be dead. Everyone desperately held back their breath and hid in a big tree hole. Just like that, we waited for the rescue of the gentlemen. Then the corpse urn in the grave was dragged out It was burned, the tomb was opened, the spells you just saw were put inside, and tempered glass was installed on it, which became a safety education base. It is said that every year when freshmen come to the mountain, they must first visit Here, listen to our stupid things back then."

Hearing his relaxed tone, He Tiansi also grinned.After being ridiculous, he let out another exaggerated sigh.

"What a pity!! Why did I only meet you this year? Your past is so interesting, but my memory is blank, it's so unfair!!"

Having said that, he simply tilted his body and leaned against Ming Ruoxing's back.

The sudden weight and body temperature made Ming Ruoxing's heart tremble slightly, and he suddenly felt a little shaken.

After a long silence, he only heard him whisper:

"...It doesn't matter what happened before. Anyway, we will be together in the future."

"You said it yourself, I can remember it forever."

He Tiansi was very rare and didn't raise an argument.He just stretched out his hand and hugged Ming Ruoxing tightly from behind, not letting go for a long time.

-

The night of staying in Xuechi Courtyard seemed to pass faster than the previous two nights.

The next morning, Ming Ruoxing woke up at five o'clock in the morning, and he also picked up He Tiansi who had crawled from the upper bunk to his side sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

Today they are going to Wentian Peak, which is also the third highest peak among the eighteen main peaks of Yinshan Mountain.However, the status of Wentianyuan has little to do with height. It is famous because it only serves the most prominent group among demihumans—the umbrella species.

The transportation method to Wentian Peak is somewhat special.But before they go, the two of them have a very special thing to do.

The Yinshan suit that He Tiansi bought in the town before entering the mountain finally came in handy.With Ming Ruoxing's help, He Tiansi put on a full set of outfits neatly on his body. He was dressed in black and black robe, and suddenly he looked heroic and extraordinary.

As for Ming Ruoxing's luggage, there is no Yin Shanyi in his luggage, but he went up the mountain as He Tiansi's recommender, so he can be temporarily classified as a fairy official.

Last night, Mr. Su had already prepared a set of immortal official clothes.At this moment, it has been worn by Ming Ruoxing.The snow-white robe is embroidered with long wings with silver thread, and the temperament is already refined; coupled with the long hair tied up with a silver headband, it looks more like a handsome young man in ancient times.

Dressed up, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling happy.But there was not much time left for them to look at each other, and soon it was time to set off.
