Penglai delusion

Counting his fingers, Jiang Tan realized that he had stayed in Qianbiya Mansion for ten days.

It is really difficult to decipher the ghost formation on the cave gate.But in the process of groping, he remembered an ancient method to solve the array: use blood as a pen to draw the opposite spirit pattern on the array.

He thought it over a few times and felt that this method might be applicable to the current situation.

But the formation of the ring formation is very complicated, and the starting point of the lines cannot be deduced by the trend, so it is completely impossible to draw.

At the same time, Jiang Tan discovered that the triangular formation next to the gap in the kitchen seems to be relatively simple.Probably because Xi Mo felt that he couldn't go there, and it took time and effort to paint such a formation.

He was pondering the pattern of the triangular array while cooking.

Keep trying, always draw the starting point.

Jiang Tan smeared and compared over and over again, and threw the full paper head directly into the stove for burning.

The porridge on the stove is fragrant, and the sky among the pine trees is slowly falling to black.

These days, taking advantage of Xi Mo's absence, he has carefully searched every corner of the cave, and made sure that Shi Pei is not here.

Pei only has one.If he could return to Kunlun, or inform the two palace lords, it would be nothing to be afraid of being caught again.Be afraid, if you don't get the pendant, you will be found halfway through the run, and you will be caught directly, then according to Xi Mo's threat, your legs will be broken, tied up, and you will never be able to go out again.

He believed that Xi Mo could do it, or even go too far.

In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if Xi Mo did anything else.

In addition, he also discovered that his manuscripts were all neatly stacked in the bookshelves and baskets, and they were not thrown away.

After pondering for two days, Jiang Tan gradually came up with a new idea: the hatred in Xi Mo's heart might not be as deep as he said, maybe he didn't intend to really torture himself to death.

Jiang Tan felt that he needed to talk to Xi Mo.

That's right, the child is still living alone in the cave. It might be better if he had a companion, like Xueqiu.My mood is stable and my mind is broadened, and I may not be able to catch myself playing tricks anymore.

After such an aftertaste, Jiang Tan seemed to remember that Xi Mo once told himself that he liked a girl very much, but she couldn't understand what he meant.

Jiang Tan decided to try to care about Xi Mo's life, and he couldn't keep fighting like this.

It just so happened that Xi Mo came back when the sun set.

After not seeing him for five days, his complexion became paler and he looked exhausted.

Jiang Tan didn't want him to come back today, so he pulled him away as soon as he wanted to speak, and rubbed him firmly into his arms.

Xi Mo buried himself next to the cold neck and took a few deep breaths, and the stars lit up in his eyes again.He straightened Jiangtan, tidied up the messy hair, and wearily curled the corners of his lips, "What's for dinner?"

Jiang Tan didn't cook his meal, but said, "Lettuce porridge."

"Okay, let's have a bowl." Xi Mo held out a green clay pot from his back, "Pickled sea oysters, you should be able to eat them now, let's mix them with porridge."

Jiang Tan brought over the porridge bowl and the empty plate.

He put the chopsticks and spoons back, watched the person take off his gloves, clean his hands and open the jar, put the tender and soft oyster meat on the plate, and said suddenly, "Xi Mo."

Xi Mo was stunned, and the first thing on his expression was that he was at a loss.But he was quickly pressed down by him, and he only gave a "huh" with a smile on his face.

Jiang Tan could see that he was actually a little happy.

He said, "The person you told me about before, do you still like her?"

Xi Mozhuo paused and smiled even wider, "How could Master think of asking this?"

"I think, if you don't have a Taoist partner yet..."

"Why do you care about this all of a sudden? Could it be that in Penglai Continent, thousands of miles away, the suzerain still uses the usual tricks of the demon sect? Still want to use those beautiful demons to beg me to let you go?"

He was a little puzzled, "I look, is it so easy to buy?"

This is considered unreasonable.

I finished talking to him.Jiang Tan felt bored, so he ate the porridge silently.

"I'm so miserable." Xi Mo put the porcelain plate in front of him, "I finally found a topic, but I'm so ungrateful."

Jiang Tan was silent.

Xi Mo smiled, "Then let me give you another chance, Master. Tell me, what kind of beauty do you want to push into my arms?"

Jiang Tan remained silent.

"Could it be that Master wants to recommend himself as a pillow mat?" Xi Mo pondered for a moment, and then commented, "It's beautiful, and it suits my taste. Although he is a man, he can barely accept it. Anyway, according to the legend, the suzerain is a man and a woman. No taboo, suitable for all ages."

The old god Jiangtan was eating porridge, and he didn't want to give him a glance from the corner of the eye.

"Master, are you trying to flirt with me?" Xi Mo smiled unabated, and the light in his eyes obviously cooled down.

"Eat it quickly, the porridge won't taste good when it's cold." Jiang Tan finally spoke.

Xi Mo chuckled, "Pour it out when it's cold, just boil it again. If I don't eat it, you have to keep boiling it until I want to eat it. It must be warm in my mouth."

Jiang Tan paused for a moment, and said "En".

His indifferent appearance annoyed Xi Mo.Immediately, the man stretched out his hand and dumped the oysters into his bowl, "From next time on, you are not allowed to eat porridge. Whatever I want to eat, you have to eat it."

Jiang Tan let out another "hmm".

Okay, let's start messing around again.

As long as he is happy.Jiang Tan thought, if he is happier, he won't always want to make himself unhappy.

After thinking about it, he stirred the oyster meat in the bowl and ate it silently.After taking a spoonful of it, I found that it tasted surprisingly good.

Jiang Tan raised his head, just wanted to talk to Xi Mo, but felt a little cold in his eyes.

It is snow.

After this piece floated in, within a short while, the snowflakes outside had formed into strands and gradually began to cover the sky.

The first snow in Penglai was extremely violent.

Xi Mo buried his head in a few mouthfuls of porridge, and looked calmer again, "This year's snow fell very early. Did you say it was to welcome you?"

Jiang Tan said, "Maybe."

The two were relatively silent, and the remaining porridge was quickly eaten up.By the end of the meal, the last light of the sky had been covered by snow flakes.The cave was getting darker and darker, except for the flickering flame under the stove.Jiang Tan took out a candle from his sleeve, lit it and put it on the table.

Xi Mo seemed to recall something, "The candle you handed me the first time looks the same as this one."

He said with a smile, "Do you know, when you were standing at the door of the Paowu, I actually took you for my aunt."

He rinsed his mouth with tea, saw that Jiangtan was still soaking the bowls and chopsticks, went to the storage room and dragged out an animal skin mattress, and placed it squarely at the gap in the cliff.

"Master, hurry up." He said, "After packing up, come and watch the snow with me."

Jiang Tan felt the shadows in the cave suddenly fly up in front of him, turned his head slightly, and saw that Xi Mo was holding the burning white candle between his fingers and couldn't handle it, so he slowed down under his hands, and didn't want to go there.

After wiping off his fingers, he was thinking about whether to go directly to sleep, so he heard Xi Mo say, "What are you doing standing there, come here."

He took out a small square box from his bosom and shook it at him, "Lily lotus seed candy, I made it newly, come and taste it."

Jiang Tan hesitated for a moment, and as soon as he walked over, he was pulled by his belt and pressed into the animal skin.

"Be caught by me." Xi Mo's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Master, what's the matter with you? How old are you, and you will really come as soon as Tang is attracted?"

As he spoke, he stuffed a candy into his mouth.

Jiang Tan hid the sugar grain under his tongue, and said, "If you move around again, this place will burn."

Xi Mo looked sideways, the candle that he let go of just now was crooked on the long hair scattered all over Jiangtan, but there was no sign of spreading.

"With you here, it won't happen." Xi Mo lifted the white candle up, and sent it to the stone table with a wave of his hand.

"Master, is it the same for you in Kunlun? You always carry so many candles with you?"

"……Um."

"I see that your palace is very bright, and it looks like it's always bright all night. Do you still need candles?"

"It's useful." Jiang Tan said, "It's not all for lighting."

Having said that, it reminds me of one thing.

At that time, he was 11 years old and spent three years alone in Buxue Palace.

That day he went to bed early, and just closed his eyes for a while, but felt the snowballs around his feet slipping away, stood up, paused for a few moments, jumped out of bed and jumped out.

Seeing Xuehu running in a hurry, Jiangtan didn't know what happened, so he turned on the light to find it.

On the cliff, Ming Ji wrapped her wind robe tightly, caught a glimpse of a bright color in the wind and snow, and her heart was half lifted for a moment.Then I saw the young man with gorgeous hair and silver pupils slowly approaching with a glazed lotus lantern.

He never showed any expression on his face, so he just stopped a few feet away, silently refusing to speak.

She smiled helplessly, and said without hope, "Does the Sixth Sect Master know where is the way out for this snow formation?"

Jiang Tan thought for a moment, took out a rhino horn snow candle from his bosom, lit a cold white flame in the wick, and held it in front of her.

"Follow the candlelight, and the snow will disperse." He said lightly.

Ming Ji was stunned, she didn't expect this child to come down from the sky to help her, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said "Thank you".

Then he took the snow candle, nodded in greeting, and left without looking back.

Jiang Tan couldn't see her anymore, so he continued to look for Xuehu with a lamp.

Out of the North Ridge is the Outer Kunlun. If Mingji wanted to go out, she would have her own right way to the outside world, but why did she take this side way?

Jiang Tan didn't think about it, and looked around along the palace wall, but the fox was nowhere to be seen.I had no choice but to go back alone, leaving the lamp by the gate of the palace, and stayed up all night.

After that, he never saw Snowball again.

Jiang Tan didn't know where Xuehu went, he just thought, the farther he ran, the better, he would never be able to get out in this life.The snowball is a mess, and it's always unfair to drag it here together.

Thinking of him touching his chest again, it was a little strange.The heartbeat is clearly still there, but it seems like it is not there, it is empty and there is no echo.

After this, Jiangtan never built a snowman again.

Because no fox will come and break them up.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xi Mo: Master, if you pile up, I will break it up for you.

Jiang Tan: ...do you have something to do?
