Chu Chen Kee

There is a pool of water on the top of Kunlun Mountain, named Tianchi.According to legend, it was formed by the river water in the sky after the battle between gods and demons broke through the sky. It has lasted for thousands of years and still has not dried up.

This Wang Hanchi was in the midst of the wind and snow, the temperature was extremely low but it was not frozen, but the water in the bottomless pool showed a strange blue-black color because it was too deep.

Tianchi is an irregular circle surrounded by solid snow-capped peaks. It is about three feet long and five feet wide, but it is particularly deep.

Bai Yi led Li Yuchen into the bottom of the pool without hesitation, and in an instant, the deep water covered them both.

A Wannian red plum grows beside the pool, which is particularly eye-catching in this white world.

The red plum blossoms grow on the branches like copper branches and iron trunks. Although the storm is fierce, they still remain motionless.

For a long time, there was no movement in the pool.

Hu Ziying looked down anxiously, he held Yue Ze's hand tightly, his palm was not warm at all.

"Don't worry." Yue Ze could only comfort him like this.

Li Yuchen under the pool naturally couldn't hold his breath, Bai Yi had no choice but to use spiritual power to separate the pool water, only hoping that the cold that pierced into the bone marrow could cool down the temperature of Li Yuchen's body surface.

Fortunately, this method really works.

The flame on the surface of Li Yuchen's body gradually became smaller until it went out.

Under the deep blue water surface, the light is unpredictable, projected on Li Yuchen's closed eyes, it turns into a beautiful light color.

Bai Yi stared at him for a moment, then suddenly woke up, then lowered his head expressionlessly.

When Li Yuchen woke up, he felt that his whole body was full of power. The familiar yet unfamiliar power made him feel strange, as if he could move mountains and fill seas with just one move.

"Yi!" Li Yuchen woke up and didn't see Bai Yi, so he got off the bed barefoot and ran outside.

Only then did he realize that he was actually in a huge and luxurious palace.

The ground paved with cold jade is flat and smooth, and it can even reflect his appearance.

The palace was empty, and four pillars with a diameter of more than one foot supported the entire hall. He couldn't help but look up at the white jade pillars carved with lifelike patterns of ancient gods and beasts, only to find that the height of this huge palace was almost over ten feet!

On the dome of the main hall, there are depictions of mountains, rivers, mountains, sun, moon, stars, birds, beasts, insects and fish in ancient times.At that time, gods and humans lived together in this Kyushu continent. That era is a legend.

Li Yuchen hugged his arm tightly, this empty hall was lifeless, as cold as the snowstorm outside.

A vast aura of antiquity and desolation passed through the years, lying in this ancient palace that has gone through tens of thousands of years.

Li Yuchen stared blankly at everything here. Compared with this palace, the majestic Yuxu Temple and the majestic imperial palace are like children's toys.

He couldn't describe in words the shock that all this gave him, he just instinctively felt that something in his heart was calling him.

Barefooted and unconscious, he walked out along the open gate of the palace.

Only the boundless stretch of snow-capped mountains came into view.

There is a faint voice of conversation entering the ears.

Hu Ziying exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect the sect of Tianxuan Jianmen to be so...beautiful!"

It is true that he and Yue Ze have traveled far and wide and seen all kinds of fairy caves, but there has never been any one that can give them such a shocking feeling like this palace.

After Bai Yi used magic to open the gate, this majestic palace suddenly appeared in the originally bare snow mountain, which shocked both of them immediately.

Bai Yi said a few words in a low voice, and then heard Hu Ziying's happy laughter.

Li Yuchen followed the voice to the corridor outside the palace.

"Why are you up?" Bai Yi asked softly when he saw Li Yuchen walking out, holding a large bowl full of steaming meat porridge.

"I didn't see you!" Li Yuchen rushed over aggrievedly, and put his head into his arms.

Bai Yi had to raise the bowl in his hand to avoid Li Yuchen's arms and prevent the porridge in his hand from being overturned.

"Hey, it seems that the annoying little devil is all right." Hu Ziying led Yue Ze over, laughing, but the expression on his face seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief.

"We're leaving." Yue Ze said to Bai Yi.

Bai Yi was not surprised, just nodded slightly, and said, "Do you want to have breakfast before leaving?"

"No need." Yue Ze smiled lightly, and said, "I have an agreement with Empress Mei Ji to send Ziying back to her safely, so I have to go now."

Hu Ziying looked at Bai Yi, with red eyes, and said, "Senior brother, I will come back to find you."

Bai Yi smiled lightly and said, "Let's go."

Light snow fell in the sky one after another, and Yue Ze hugged the fox baby who had turned into a little fox and quickly disappeared into the vast snowy twilight.

"Let's eat, it's getting cold." Bai Yi lowered his head and looked at Li Yuchen.

Li Yuchen nodded: "It's time to eat."

One day in the mountains, thousands of years in the world.

There is only an eternal snow-white world on Kunlun Mountain.

A black figure streaked across the vast whiteness, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

Just suddenly, that black figure was stopped by another light blue figure.

"Yuchen, have you finished your homework today?" Bai Yi held a huge snow leopard over eight feet long in one hand, and Li Yuchen, who was already a head taller, in the other hand, frowning slightly, looking at The boy who has grown to his eyebrows.

After only one year on Kunlun Mountain, Li Yuchen seemed to have opened up some kind of key and grew up at a crazier speed than he absorbed the power of the stars.

Li Yuchen smiled triumphantly, and was still holding a little leopard in his hand. The boy's eyebrows and eyes were out of their original delicacy, and a handsome and straight outline could be vaguely glimpsed.

Li Yuchen pulled out a flattering smile: "Axue told me that there are a lot of yacons here. If you like to eat them, I will pick them for you. You can eat them next time you retreat."

Bai Yi paused, then his eyes fell on Li Yuchen's clothes, and he frowned tightly: "Your clothes are torn again."

Li Yuchen glanced at Bai Yi secretly, then lowered his head and glared at Axue lying beside his lap.

This guy's claws are too sharp, even if he is playing, he will often scratch his clothes by accident.

Bai Yi is very talented in cooking, but he hates mending clothes.It's not that he's bothered that his fingers are often pricked by needles and threads, and those needles that prick his hands basically end up being bent.

But it's really embarrassing for a man to do these needlework, okay?

Li Yuchen was also aware of this, so he always took off his clothes when he was arguing with Ah Xue, so as not to displease Bai Yi.

But once Bai Yi saw him and punished him severely, Li Yuchen never dared to do this again.

"Go back and make up your homework, and meditate for another three hours!" Bai Yi looked at him seriously.

Li Yuchen didn't dare to talk back, and was dejectedly carried by Bai Yi's ear to the main hall of Tianxuan Sword Gate - Linhua Hall.

The white female leopard followed the two into the palace, still holding her cub in her mouth.That elegant and calm posture, as if she is the master here, made the corners of Bai Yi's eyes twitch non-stop.

Although the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there are also many animals living here, and most of them are spiritual beasts with some spirituality.

They probably also know that people from this sect will not kill at will, so they basically don't shy away from people from Tianxuan Jianmen.

Bai Yi knew that a child of this age was in a state of uncertainty, so he was allowed to fight wildly with those spirit beasts, but he absolutely refused to tolerate Li Yuchen's acting like a baby when it came to basic homework and cultivation.

Bai Yi took off Li Yuchen's outer clothes, looked at the hole torn by the leopard's claws, turned his head expressionlessly to look at the big cat napping in the corner, and kept rolling around beside it little big cat.

Li Yuchen lazily lay beside him, resting his arms on his chin, and said, "Yi, when can we go down the mountain?"

Bai Yi found a needle and thread from the side, and while carefully aligning the breach, he asked casually, "You want to go down the mountain without even breaking through the golden core stage?"

Li Yuchen looked at Bai Yi unconvinced, and said, "But I'm already very good."

Bai Yi sneered, but the movement of his hands never stopped: "Really? You can go down the mountain when you can beat me."

When Li Yuchen heard this, he immediately lay down on the side in frustration, and watched quietly as Bai Yi sewed up the tear in his clothes.Bai Yi's movements were a little clumsy, but the serious expression made Li Yuchen reluctant to look away.

Bai Yi took a moment to glance at him, bit off the end of the thread, shook the clothes in his hand, returned the clothes to him, and said calmly: "If it breaks again, I won't sew it for you!"

Li Yuchen put on his clothes with a smile, and said, "You said the same thing last time."

Bai Yi remained expressionless: "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely do this next time."

"Yi, it's too cold today to meditate. Why don't we go hunting?" Li Yuchen couldn't sit still after less than a quarter of an hour of meditation. He pulled Bai Yi's sleeve and wanted to escape.

Bai Yi quickly grabbed his ear and shouted, "Sit down for me!"

Li Yuchen covered his ears and accused Bai Yi: "I don't want to meditate! Can you go hunting with me? You have been in retreat for a long time, and you have no time to play with me!"

Bai Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to meditate?"

This child was no longer the Li Yuchen who could be restrained with a Sanli Talisman when he first saw him, and it was even more impossible for him to force Li Yuchen to sit there.

But this year, Li Yuchen became more and more clingy to him, and Bai Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he himself didn't know.

In this case, instinct drove him to escape.

So he usually has to retreat for [-] days a month to reduce the contact time with Li Yuchen, but Li Yuchen became more and more clingy to him.

Li Yuchen didn't know which tendon was cramped, so he said stubbornly, "No!"

Bai Yi said with restraint: "You have to go, you are not strong enough now. I can let you go down the mountain when you protect yourself enough."

"I just won't go, I want you to accompany me." Li Yuchen felt a little guilty, but Bai Yi's retreat obviously gave him a chance to make progress.

"If you don't go, get out!" Bai Yi's voice suddenly increased.

"You want me to go?" Li Yuchen was taken aback.

Bai Yi regretted his gaffe as soon as he said the words just now.

But even if he regretted it now, he just gritted his teeth, turned and left the hall.

"I'm very angry. If you don't take the initiative to apologize to me, I won't forgive you! I'm going to run away from home." A moment later, Li Yuchen shouted to Bai Yi's back.

Bai Yi left without looking back.

Li Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and then he left the palace angrily, saying: "I want you to find me, unless you apologize, otherwise I will never come back."

As he spoke, he plunged into the vast snow-capped mountains.

Li Yuchen, who had run away from home, was lying on the rocks on the top of Xuefeng listlessly. He waited for a long time but Bai Yi didn't find him.

He doesn't understand, it's not that he doesn't want to practice, he just hopes that Bai Yi can pay more attention to him, why is Bai Yi so angry?

He deliberately picked some places where Bai Yi was most likely to catch him on weekdays, but several hours passed, and Bai Yi still didn't look back for him.

"Abao, Yi is getting more and more stupid! You can't find me like this." Li Yuchen pushed away the little snow leopard trying to shrink into his neck unhappy.

The big snow leopard flicked its tail lazily, brought its cub to its soft belly, stuck out its tongue and licked the messy hair on its neck which was pulled by Li Yuchen, but unfortunately the little guy still kept going towards Li Yuchen. Flutter around.

"Forget it, I'll go back." Li Yuchen waited for a while, finally couldn't help it, but decided to pretend to be open-minded, "I want to give him a chance to apologize."

Big Snow Leopard gave him a contemptuous look.

So, he slipped back to the palace quietly.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Li Yuchen looked at the empty hall, a little nervous and a little happy, did Yi really go out to find him?

The sky is getting darker and darker, even though it is already July, it is still ice and snow here.

The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, which is a harbinger of a snowstorm. The thick clouds on the horizon are getting lower and lower, almost within reach, with the tendency of black clouds overwhelming the city.

"Yi?" Seeing this, Li Yuchen called out tentatively.

There is only his echo in the palace.

Li Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around and ran out, calling Bai Yi's name loudly against the increasingly violent storm.

However, his voice was torn apart by the gust of wind the moment he blurted out.

Li Yuchen's heart suddenly became uneasy, he thought of Bai Yi's resolute back when he left.

He ran out of the palace and looked around, but all he could see was the vast expanse of white snow.He suddenly got tired of this color, and only hoped to see that touch of Tsing Yi in this white world.

It's just that despite his hopelessness, he still didn't get a response from Bai Yi.

The snow in Kunlun is far from the fine snow in the south of the Yangtze River.

Snowflakes as big as a palm fell down one by one, and soon covered the whole world.

Li Yuchen stayed where he was for a moment, then ran towards the cave where he hid most often.

Unfortunately, there was still no one there.

And the inside is also full of snow, and there is only a little space for people at the entrance of the cave.

Li Yuchen huddled at the entrance of the cave blankly. Although this place can no longer shelter him from the wind and snow like in the past, this is the place where Bai Yi is most likely to come to him. Apart from here, he doesn't know where else he can go .

He firmly believed that Bai Yi would come here to look for him, and he didn't want to miss Bai Yi who came back to look for him.

It seems that there are only the whistling wind and endless snowflakes left in the world.

Li Yuchen remembered that in the past, if there was a storm, he and Bai Yi would be in the palace, where there was an enchantment, the wind and snow outside couldn't get in, and the inside was as warm as spring.Although he wasn't cold, he insisted on keeping warm by Bai's side.

Bai Yi will tie his hair, read to him, and barbecue for him...

The snow gradually blocked the hole, and the air inside became less and less.

Li Yuchen used his hands to hold out the snow little by little. The rocks under the snow were all basalt, which was harder than gold and stone. Even his hands would be worn out.

An hour, two hours... the snow has not stopped.

In the end, Li Yuchen didn't bother to hold the snow outside, and just sat and waited outside the cave.

Maybe it's because it's not easy to get hurt, once Li Yuchen gets hurt, it's not easy to heal.His hands no longer dripped blood, but the wounds that had been worn away by the jagged gravel were still turning outward ferociously.

It snowed all night.

Li Yuchen didn't close his eyes.

From the initial expectation to disappointment, to the fear of being abandoned alone, there was nothing left in his mind.

Yi... don't leave, I'm obedient, you come back...

Li Yuchen's eyes gradually closed, only a gleam of cold light cast into his eyes.

His heart was as cold as the snow outside.

The morning light suddenly appeared, tearing the darkness.

A ray of golden sunlight fell on his eyelids.

Li Yuchen squinted his eyes uncomfortably, and there seemed to be a cyan figure in front of him, not tall, but enough to fill the most panic-stricken hole in his heart.

"How did you do it?" Bai Yi lowered his head, and saw Li Yuchen's bloody hands, and immediately stretched out his hands in distress, wanting to pull him up.

"Yi? Is it really you?" Li Yuchen blinked vigorously, then suddenly exploded, hugging Bai Yi tightly with both arms, and threw him into the snow.

Bai Yi was caught off guard and fell into the snow, but what he thought was that Li Yuchen's hand was being held down by him, and when he wanted to turn over, he was pinned down by the child and couldn't move even more.

"Don't go." Li Yuchen buried his head on Bai Yi's chest, the despair and fear in his voice was undisguised, "I'm obedient, don't want me..."

Bai Yi felt sore, and the hand that was going to push away the child lightly landed on the top of his head, and sighed silently.

How could I not want you, I don't know how to let go...

As soon as he turned around yesterday, he regretted it.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen if Li Yuchen was left alone in the palace, because the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't move forward.But then suddenly there was a blizzard, and he turned around and walked back without thinking about anything.

Li Yuchen couldn't find anyone in the few places Li Yuchen loved to go on weekdays, and Bai Yi was a little panicked, and finally remembered this cave.

When he arrived here, he saw that Li Yuchen was like an abandoned cub, curled up in the snow cave with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't even lick his own wound.

That helpless expression tore Bai Yi's heart in pain in an instant.

"Are you hungry? Shall I go hunting with you? I'll make you something to eat." After a long time, Bai Yi pushed Li Yuchen's head buried in his chest and asked softly.

Li Yuchen arched his head towards his chest, wrapped his arms tightly around Bai Yi's waist, and said vaguely: "No...don't go, I'm not hungry..."

The sunlight became more and more intense, until the entire mountain top was exposed to golden brilliance.

On the vast snow field, there are two tiny figures leaning on each other, as if they will never be separated.

At that time, the years were quiet and beautiful, and the face was full of joy.
