The soul condensed like moonlight embraced Yuan Rufei in his arms, a faint smile appeared on his brows and eyes, and then scattered into stars under the dawn.

The soul traveled through the desert, walked through the long night, and finally found its way back when the dawn broke.

Zhang Kuang crossed his arms, and said to Xia Zhitao, "Zhitao, you asked me before...whether you believe in the legend of the Western Regions."

Xia Zhitao turned her head to look at her, with a slight smile on her brows and eyes: "Huh?"

"You see, whether I believe it or not," Zhang Kuang said plausibly, "the legend is true."

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "It's thanks to our leader, who can even pull back the floating sky lantern."

Zhang Kuang proudly said: "That is."

The team at the entrance of the city followed, and the steward raised his hand to pull up the little princess who was kneeling in the gravel.

Yuan Rufei raised her head, wiped the red corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and suddenly smiled: "I saw her."

The steward stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, patted the child he had watched grow up, and said softly, "Well, I saw it too."

"The queen has been gone for 15 years, and she finally came back." The steward smiled, "Will you come to light the lantern next year?"

Yuan Rufei also laughed, her long eyelashes were still stained with water, and the corners of her eyes were rubbed red with her fingertips: "Why don't you let it go, one lamp a year, let's talk about it when I get old and can't lift the lantern anymore. "

Zhang Kuang gathered his overflowing spiritual power, and walked towards her together with Xia Zhitao.

Yuan Rufei naturally noticed the two of them.She bent down and solemnly saluted, with mist in her eyes, she said softly, "Master, thank you."

"Thank you for what," Zhang Kuang frowned, "I brought the sky lantern here just to show Zhitao."

Xia Zhitao asked what's the matter with you, why did you show me a light, she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, but on the surface she had to agree: "Okay, show me."

Yuan Rufei couldn't help laughing, she bent her eyebrows slightly, her voice was a little hoarse, and asked: "...then... can I give you a hug, very lightly."

"--no."

Zhang Kuang refused straightforwardly without any hesitation, and even stepped back a little quietly, dissatisfied: "You are so courageous, dare to hug me?!"

But seeing that Yuan Rufei's eyes were flushed, she waited for her mother for 15 years, and when she finally arrived, her mother's soul dissipated in her arms again.Thinking about it this way, it's really a bit pitiful.

Zhang Kuang hesitated for a while, then sneaked a glance at the calm Xia Zhitao, reluctantly said: "You can shake hands."

Yuan Rufei: "..."

She couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly, "It's really your temper."

The two shook hands in embarrassment, and Zhang Kuang stood beside him indifferently, his chin was mostly blocked by the black robe, and a layer of chill was felt all over his body.

Xia Zhitao was on the verge of being laughed to death, leaned over and elbowed her, and said, "Princess Yuan is also a poor person, why don't you be hugged?"

Zhang Kuang took it for granted: "Of course not."

She paused, then added in a low voice: "Even if I want to hug, I will only hug one person."

Hearing this, Xia Zhitao was very satisfied, stroked Zhang Kuang's long hair with peace of mind, and said, "Yes, only give it to one person."

.

Yuan Rufei discussed with the team behind him for a while, then stepped forward and said to the two: "Please go back to the city with me, I want to hand over the Wugourui and Xisheng remnants to you personally."

Zhang Kuang nodded slightly, and everyone walked back from the city gate, just as the street shops were gradually opening, and they greeted the princess and several people from time to time.

When they returned to Yunzhu Palace, the two girls of Yashan also got up, Jin Li ran over when he saw Zhang Kuang, grabbed her black robe and wailed: "My lord—"

Zhang Kuang lifted her away and said with disgust, "What are you doing?"

"You didn't go to dig the wall with me tonight!" Jin Li was heartbroken, "Gu De and my junior sister are so friendly, have you forgotten to make money!"

Zhang Kuang: "..."

Yuan Rufei suddenly realized: "It turned out that those few walls were empty, it was everyone who did it."

She snapped her fingers, and an attendant came forward carrying a few large boxes, lifted them vigorously, and they were filled to the brim with gold, jade and jade.

Yuan Rufei smiled and said: "If you want to, you don't have to bother digging the wall, just ask. The most important thing in my Yunji City is this gold, jade and jade."

Everyone: "..."

Zhang Kuang's expression was very complicated, Xia Zhitao wanted to laugh when she saw her depressed little face, and raised her hand to cover her lips.

In addition to several boxes of gold and jade, Yuan Rufei also ordered someone to bring two other things, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to repay your kindness, please accept it as a little bit of kindness."

Xia Zhitao took the Xisheng scroll from the attendant, flipped through a few pages at random, and found that it was indeed in line with the description of the Yashan scroll, so she put it away with confidence.

Zhang Kuang finally got her Wugou stamen, his brows were brimming with joy, his whole body seemed to be relieved, and he put away the transparent stamen carefully.

Now that they have already got what they want, there is no need for them to stay in Yunji City for too long. After bidding farewell to Yuan Rufei, they left Yunzhu Palace.

Yuan Rufei didn't know what to do with the few boxes of gold and jade. Xia Zhitao thought that this matter was all due to arrogance, and she should give them all due to emotion and reason.

As a result, Zhang Kuang shook his head like a rattle, forced all the gold and jade back, and looked at Xia Zhitao eagerly, wanting her to accept it.

Xia Zhitao couldn't resist her, so she had to put the box in the storage ring. She was originally poor and free, but suddenly she had a lot of money, and she always felt a little awkward.

"Our mission is limited to three days, and it took less than two days." Jin Li said with a smile, "I really have to rely on Junior Sister Xia and the leader."

Wang Yan followed suit and nodded, like a chicken pecking rice, looking at Zhang Kuang with sparkling eyes: "Then, my lord, are you leaving?"

Zhang Kuang replied lazily: "I have to go back to the Ninth Soul Bone first to bring the Wugou Rui to the old man, and then... maybe I will go back to Qiling."

She nodded her chin, and said again: "However, Zhitao, you can call me if you have something to do, anyway, it's not far away, and it's only a few breaths away."

Everyone turned their heads silently, glanced at the vast yellow sand beside them, and then thought about how they had worked so hard with their ancestors for several days before arriving in the Western Regions, they couldn't help sighing, feeling that they were really too weak.

Zhang Kuang took out her blindfold, covered it tightly and airtight with more than ten layers of black gauze, not to mention a man or a woman, even a human or a ghost.

"I go first."

Zhang Kuang lifted up the black veil with his fingertips, revealing a jade-white face, smiling at her with crooked brows and eyes, his eyes full of rippling stars, just like Geng Geng Tianhe.

She raised her hand like a child, waved it vigorously, and the black Luosha was blown in the wind, shouting loudly: "Call me if you have something to do, see you later."

Xia Zhitao also waved at her.

Zhang Kuang took a step back, stepping on the fine yellow sand with his black boots, his body collapsed instantly, turned into flowers and disappeared into the wind, and he was instantly out of sight.

.

"Let's go too."

Xia Zhitao and the other two said: "I have carefully checked the fragments of Xisheng, and what Yuan Rufei gave this time is indeed the real thing."

Wang Yan whispered: "But we are a day early, will there be no one at the meeting place? Don't we have to sit and wait for a long time."

Jin Li said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, anyway, Yujian can arrive in an hour, and you can't run around Yunji City, if there is no one, let's come back with a shy face, just continue to eat and drink."

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Several people drew their long swords out of their sheaths, stood on top of the swords, and immediately disappeared into the clouds.

Wang Yan's cultivation base was low, and the other two took care of her, so her speed slowed down a lot. After about an hour and a half, she arrived at the gathering place that the Jingtang Peak Master said before.

Unexpectedly, there was already a team waiting.But unlike Xia Zhitao and the others who were well-dressed, the brothers in that team sighed, looked sick, and had disheveled hair crowns.

After asking, I found out that the brothers had drawn Pu'an City, which is known as the "Place of Excellence". After entering the city, I found out that the owner of Pu'an City looked easy-going and easy-going, but he was actually the best at Tai Chi, and he was more difficult to deal with.

Ask "Xisheng remnants" and answer "Will you drink tea today", and say "I came from Yashan" and answer "Will you eat pastry", in short, don't even try to pry any information out of his mouth.

In the end, the few people had no choice but to spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy news from the Unknown Pavilion, and dug in the desert for a day and a night, and dug out the Xisheng scroll from the hole.

The senior brother sighed, and said: "But junior sisters, you are more pitiful. If you are drawn in Yunji, the Devil's Crazy City, you will suffer a lot?"

Looking at the sympathetic eyes of the brothers, they were a little embarrassed to say that they ate and drank at Yunji, and experienced the customs of the Botisi Festival.

The desert was windy and sandy, and a group of people found a shelter stone to sit on. Not long after, other teams came back one after another.

Because Jing Tanggao was notoriously strict and had a prominent position in Yashan, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest, and within the three-day time limit, they rushed back with all their might to meet the two-day limit.

However, among the five cities and the five teams, none of them got the fragments directly.

Except for the Bo'an team who dug the cave, the other three teams were miserable in their own way. One team worked diligently as coolies for two days, the other copied fifty volumes of spiritual scriptures, and the worst team was forced to go to the desert. The demon-hunting poisonous scorpion was stung until his whole body turned blue and purple, he was in a terrible embarrassment.

In the afternoon, a gust of pale wind howled, and Gao stood firmly in the wind, stretching out his hand to ask the disciples for the Xisheng scroll.

"That's right, they are all authentic works." Before everyone could be happy for a moment, Gao Ze added in a low voice, "It took a long time."

He snorted coldly and said, "It took more than two days to get back the fragmented scrolls that were available in one day. You are ashamed of my Yashan disciples. Go back and receive the punishment!"

——The disciples are all stupid.

.

The time limit given at the beginning was said to be three days, and the disciples had worked so hard to come back within two days. The result was good, but Gao directly shortened the time limit to one day, obviously to embarrass them.

Everyone was dumb eating Coptis chinensis, unable to tell what they were suffering, so they could only say yes silently, followed Gao Ze Yujian for several days, and returned to the cliff mountain miserably.

Ji Shu Office surrounded a bunch of disciples, all of whom were sent over by Gao Ze to receive punishment.Jin Li was heartbroken and yelled, "How could Peak Master Jingtang do this!"

She fell on the wooden chair and said weakly: "We have worked hard and worked hard to get back the broken papers, but we still have to be punished?!"

Ji Shu, who was registering, didn't raise his head, and said, "Peak Master Gao Ze has always been like this, nine out of ten missions he leads will be punished, just admit it."

Fortunately, the level required for the original escort mission was not high, so the punishment was not too difficult.Ji Shu insisted on fine brushwork, and after finishing the dossier, he handed them a piece of paper: "Plant spiritual plants along the melting snow pond, ten for each person."

Everyone took the spirit plants and shovels, and set off in a row. They thought it was just planting a few spirit plants, but it turned out that it was not that simple at all.

The spiritual plant is very delicate, it won't work if the pit is dug deep, and it will fall if it is shallow, the leaves are soft and feather-like, and they will wrinkle if touched too much, and it is very troublesome to use spiritual power to protect it while burying it.

The Lingzhu couldn't get too close, so a group of people separated beside the snow melting pool, Xia Zhitao and the other two girls went to the snow-packed forest on the right, found a place with a mountain spring, and began to dig a hole diligently.

Jin Li sighed and squatted aside, the little red fish dangling beside her, looking listless: "It's so difficult, why is this spirit plant so delicate?"

Wang Yan was carefully burying the soil, seeing Jin Li squatting there motionless, a little dissatisfied, and whispered: "Senior Sister Jin, you are helping."

Xia Zhitao moved quickly, and was careful when planting. At this moment, she has planted five plants, Wang Yan has just planted the second plant, and Jin Li has not even finished digging the hole for the first plant.

"Senior Sister Jin, the land won't open by itself," Xia Zhitao said indifferently, "My side is full, and Wang Yan and I will continue planting inside."

Jin Li waved her hand, and continued to sit on the ground in a daze, while Xia Zhitao walked deep into the snow-covered forest with Wang Yan.

Although it is only around the plum moon, it seems like winter around the snow melting pool.The leaf tips are covered with clusters of frost and snow, and snowflakes fall one after another when they are brushed.

The two walked in with the spirit plant and the shovel for a while. Xia Zhitao reckoned that there was some distance from the other planted plants. Just as he was about to stop, a voice suddenly came from the forest:

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible!"

In the depths of this snow-covered forest, are there other disciples?Xia Zhitao and Wang Yan looked at each other, the two took a few steps in cautiously while holding their breaths.

"Huh? Do you really think that if Master asked me to plant spirit plants, I would really obediently do so?"

Between the frost-covered branches and leaves, came a lazy and clear voice, as if complaining about something: "Don't even think about it, you dig a hole yourself and bury yourself."

Xia Zhitao turned her head slightly, and she could vaguely see a rough outline among the layers of branches and leaves.

There was a man lying on the edge of the branch, most of his body was blocked by frost, snow and black leaves, and only a trace of ivory white clothes could be seen from the corner.

She crossed her legs, her white boots restlessly stepped on the branches and leaves, rustling down a few lonely ink leaves.

After a long silence, the man suddenly sneered and said, "If you dare to disturb me again, I'll kill you!"

Although it was a fierce word, but the voice of the person who spoke it was soft, with a soft tail tone, and he really didn't feel threatened.

The man turned over lazily, found a comfortable position to lie down, took a long breath, and said wearily, "Stop yelling."

"...I'm a little tired, it's true." She said softly, "Let me sleep for a while."

.

The forest suddenly returned to silence, only the whirling sound of overlapping branches and leaves, and the soft, velvet-like breathing sound remained.

But after a while, the leaves suddenly shook violently, and clusters of frost and snow fell. The man panicked and shouted: "What did you just say?!"

Under the gaze of Xia Zhitao and the other two, a figure in white clothes suddenly fell from the tree. Fortunately, the man moved quickly, turned over in mid-air, landed softly on his toes, and hit the ground without embarrassment.

As soon as she straightened up, she unexpectedly bumped into Xia Zhitao face to face, and she panicked.

Xia Zhitao smiled, she only listened to the voice before, and immediately recognized the little girl's voice, she kept silent, just wanted to see how long it would take for her to discover the two of them.

There was a blush on Zhang Lan's ears, she looked at Xia Zhitao in a daze, and stammered, "Eh?!"

"Zhang Lan?" Wang Yan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Lan was dressed in ivory white, with a few ink leaves messily stained in her black hair, and the hairband was loosely tied, exuding a faint scent of hibiscus flowers.

"Why do you think I'm here?" Zhang Lan's ears turned red, her fingers tucked into her sleeves, and said angrily, "I've been punished!!"

Xia Zhitao glanced at the listless spirit plants thrown by Zhang Lan beside the tree, and the shovel randomly inserted not far away, and she knew it all at once.

She laughed and said, "Are you punished to plant spirit plants?"

Zhang Lan nodded vigorously, patted her sleeves, ran towards Xia Zhitao unsteadily, and stood beside her obediently: "Yeah."

"I was going to visit Shuijing Peak, Senior Sister, but unfortunately I met Zheng Luoyi on the way, and asked me to go to Jishu to get a dossier."

Zhang Lan said aggrievedly: "As a result, Ji Shu read it and said that I hadn't done a file since I entered the peak, and then punished me to plant spirit plants."

Xia Zhitao smiled and said slowly, "Then what are you doing on the tree?"

This question was asked mercilessly, and Zhang Lan froze in an instant, not daring to move.

She Nuonuo lowered her head, her black hair tried to hide it, but she couldn't hide the blush on her ears, and whispered, "I'm sleeping."

—too honest!

He answered honestly when he asked casually, and didn't know how to make up a reason to prevaricate, this guy is too obedient.

Xia Zhitao laughed heartily, and raised her hand to help her pick off a few ink leaves covered with white clothes, teasingly said: "If you fell asleep, what about the task of this kind of spirit plant?"

Zhang Lan said, "Let them grow it themselves."

Xia Zhitao didn't understand what she meant, and thought that "they" referred to other disciples who were also punished.

She pulled Zhang Lan who was trying to be lazy, and stuffed a shovel into his arms: "It's all here, let's work hard."

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "You can plant just one plant, and I'll plant the rest for you."

Zhang Lan didn't seem to hear it, and said "Oh" a little absent-mindedly, her amber-like eyes looked a little dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She was more lazy than Jin Li. Before, Jin Li had at least dug a small earth pit, but Zhang Lan didn't even dig a earth pit. She was just shaking her shovel around, looking sleepy.

While digging, Wang Yan asked curiously, "By the way, Zhang Lan, who were you talking to before?"

"Ah?" Zhang Lan suddenly came back to her senses, raised her hand and pointed at the spirit plants placed beside the tree, and said angrily, "Talk to them."

Xia Zhitao froze for a moment, she was planting this spiritual plant in her hand, it was originally dying, it looked like she was dying.

As a result, as soon as he saw Zhang Lan, he immediately became excited, and desperately waved the leaves to wrap around her, grabbing her fingertips and refusing to let go.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Lan withdrew her hand in disgust, and glared at the spirit plant, "Don't touch me!"

Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "Look how much he likes you, you look listless in our hands, and you'll immediately feel refreshed when you see you."

Zhang Lan puffed up, looking sullen.She hugged the shovel bitterly, thrust it down hard with all her strength, and violently lifted a large piece of soil.

Xia Zhitao: "...Lanlan."

When she yelled, Zhang Lan's hands trembled, and she almost couldn't hold the shovel steadily. She looked at her with big amber eyes, and her ears were full of luster.

"Lanlan," Xia Zhitao said earnestly, "We want to plant spiritual plants, not to murder the ground soil of the Snow-Asiatic Forest."

Zhang Lan: "..."

Her ears were so red, she raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks, and said in a low voice, "The spirit plants are noisy and keep talking in my ears, so I don't plant them."

Hearing these words, the spirit plant in Xia Zhitao's hand trembled violently, and one could even see a weeping expression on the leaves.

"Why are you wronged!" Zhang Lan gave Ling Zhu a hard look, and said angrily, "I said it a long time ago, you'd better dig a hole and bury yourself. If you want me to plant you, there is no way!"

Xia Zhitao didn't expect the child to quarrel with a plant, so he laughed inwardly, and said, "Didn't you get punished, and you really want to wait for the spirit plant to plant you?"

Zhang Lan didn't care about the frost and snow on the ground, she just sat cross-legged and muttered softly, "But I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

She yawned, the corners of her eyes were a little red, she reached out and pushed the spirit plant beside her: "Hurry up and plant yourself, I'll sleep for a while."

Xia Zhitao looked at Zhang Lan's appearance, and thought about the various things that the leader followed her around before, and all the things that squandered her spiritual energy, her heart softened all of a sudden.

She reached out to touch Zhang Lan's cheek, and said softly, "Are you tired? Let me plant it for you. Go lie down and rest for a while."

Zhang Lan suddenly woke up from a doze, she was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Uh...no, no need!"

She patted her face, picked up the shovel and slapped the spirit plant that fell on the ground, and said fiercely: "Hurry up! Don't pretend! I know you can!!"

Xia Zhitao saw the child fighting with the plants, and was about to reach out to pull Zhang Lan, but unexpectedly, under the threat of the shovel, the spirit plants actually moved by themselves.

I saw a row of spiritual plants stand up tremblingly, their branches supported limply, and moved little by little to the small hole next to them, moved their roots in, and patted the soil with their leaves.

Whether this is a supernatural movie or a horror movie, Xia Zhitao was shocked: "This—"

She had indeed heard that because the cliff mountain was full of aura, the plants that grew on the peaks were more or less spiritual.

But small gestures like touching Zhang Lan's fingertips before were fine. Xia Zhitao never expected that this spirit plant could get up and walk by itself.

... I don't know if it was because he was not going to leave, but Zhang Lan was scared by holding a shovel, and even if he couldn't go, he had to get up and bury himself.

Zhang Lan explained in a low voice: "These are half-faerie spirits, they haven't cultivated human form yet, but they still have the ability to dig a hole and bury themselves."

As she spoke, she hit one of the plants with the tip of the shovel, her voice full of threats: "Hurry up!"

Wang Yan couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice, "Zhang Lan, look at the leaves of the Ling Zhu that are about to fall off, don't bully others, be gentle."

Zhang Lan turned her head abruptly, narrowed her amber eyes, and retorted aggressively, "They bullied me first!"

The author has something to say: Zhang Kuang: You spiritual plants are presumptuous with your trumpet and no equipment, right?I'll dial up tomorrow and blow up the entire melting snow pool.
