snow wolf ballad

The old Taoist looked rather embarrassed, he had lived and slept in the open for a long time, and had never tidied himself up.At the gate of the Xue Mansion, the Snow Wolf King opened the door to greet his younger sister in person. The younger sister was still holding the child in her arms. The three elders and the younger one stood at the door silently for a long time. After a while, the Snow Wolf King, as the master, invited This veteran said:

"Daoist, please come in. Have some fast food, and after taking a bath, it's not too late to leave."

"The benefactor is too polite, the poor man is dirty, I'm afraid it will pollute the benefactor's house.

"The Taoist priest is too polite. If a monk is clean, how can he be dirty. I am a Taoist, and I hope to form good relationships. Since the Taoist priest has come, he can't enter the house. There is no such reason."

"In this way, the poor will be disrespectful."

Outsiders listened to this conversation and thought it was just a polite greeting, but all three people present knew the meaning of it.The surroundings of Daixue Mansion, and even the entire Dongshan Mountain, are shrouded in the space formation laid down by the Snow Wolf King. There is no obstacle for ordinary people to pass and enter the mountain, but if they want to get close to Daixue Mansion, the formation will be triggered, and everyone The fog filled the air, making it difficult to distinguish the direction, and was sent out of the mountain inexplicably.In this way, it can be guaranteed that Xuefu will not be disturbed by outsiders all year round.It's been a year, and there are no guests in the mansion, but now there is a wandering Taoist priest for no reason. If he came here on foot and really asked for a bowl of water, no matter what, Snow Wolf King and Snow Wolf Sister would not believe it.

Therefore, this old Taoist must have solved the formation by himself and came to him on his own initiative.This veteran has a lot of knowledge, it seems that he came prepared, and he doesn't know why he is looking for the Snow Wolf King.The Snow Wolf King was free and easy, and took the lead in expressing his opinion. "I am originally a Taoist, and I hope to form good karma." This sentence represents her attitude.

Sister Xuelang carried the child into the back room first, and the old man was received by the master Snow Wolf King.Although the old Taoist body was tattered, there was a strange jade pendant hanging around his waist.This jade pendant is unique, like a half-winged butterfly, or like a moon in water, hazy and distorted, the Snow Wolf King couldn't help but take a second look.

The Snow Wolf King didn't ask the old Taoist why he came, but the old Taoist seemed to be calm and indifferent.So he just entertained the old Taoist with tea first, and chatted about Taoism. During the chat, the Snow Wolf King saw that this old Taoist was knowledgeable, broad-sighted, and exquisite in Taoism, so he couldn't help but feel admiration.It was noon in a flash, and the Snow Wolf King entertained the old Taoist for a vegetarian meal. The old Taoist didn't seem surprised that such a delicious vegetarian vegetarian food could be made in a big demon mansion, and he ate it with great relish.

After the meal, the Snow Wolf King summoned the bath soup again, let the old Taoist bathe and clean himself, and prepared a brand new Taoist robe for the old Taoist to wear.

Sister Snow Wolf really didn't understand why Elder Sister treated this old man of unknown origin like this, but Snow Wolf King didn't explain too much.

After the old Taoist tidied up and put on new clothes, he formally greeted the Snow Wolf King in the main hall:

"Pindao Zhongnanshan Taiyi Palace's head, Yun He, has met the Snow Wolf High God, and the High God will live a long life."

"Same life, Daoist Yunhe is very polite, please sit down."

After Yunhe took his seat again, Snow Wolf King finally got to the point:

"I don't know what is the purpose of traveling thousands of miles to Changzhou to look for the snow wolf?"

"Pindao wants to ask carefully, what happened in the God Realm, can God Snow Wolf tell you?"

Snow Wolf King raised his eyebrows and didn't answer for a while.

Seeing her like this, Yunhe smiled and said:

"God Snow Wolf, don't misunderstand me. I don't want to ask this question because I want to become a god. It's just that I don't have talent. I have been studying gossip and divination for more than 30 years. Since Snow Wolf King came back, Pindao is divining day and night, but the hexagrams are always not good. I fear that after a thousand years, there will be a catastrophe in the human world. All the hexagrams point to two characters, a "god" and a "demon". Pindao thinks to himself Ordinary people can't interfere with the affairs of gods and demons, but the hexagrams make me restless day and night. The return of the Snow Wolf God from the God Realm is known to everyone in Buddhism and Taoism, and everyone in the family of exorcism and exorcism is aware of it, but why did he return? , but we don’t know. I also hope that God Xuelang will clear up the confusion for us.”

The Snow Wolf King said to himself that he has not told anyone what happened when he returned from the God Realm.During the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference, she just told all the monsters that the God Realm was in a catastrophe. There was an invasion of heavenly demons, which might endanger the human world, and the monster race could not be alone.None of these Buddhism and Taoism exorcism sects of human beings have been informed of the details.She deliberately blurred it out for fear of causing panic.Even though she deliberately blurred it, it still caused a lot of panic in the Yaozu, and it took a lot of effort to calm everyone down.Now Yunhe travels thousands of miles barefoot, making a special trip to ask, it can be said that it represents all the Buddhist and Taoist exorcism gates, and even represents so many ignorant human beings. Living in the human world, they have the right to know this.

So Snow Wolf King thought for a while, and briefly told Yunhe what happened in the God Realm.It's just that her memory in the God Realm is incomplete, and she can't remember many things that happened back then, especially when she knew that Yao'er died, and it was a terrible death, but she couldn't remember the scene when she died As well as the cause and effect, she knew that that memory was selectively sealed by herself. After being rescued from falling into the frozen lake, and after waking up, it was blurred.It was too painful, so she didn't want to think about it, otherwise she might not be able to live well.

Even if it was just a brief statement, Yunhe was still shocked after hearing it.There are very few things that can shock him for a person like him who is so good at nourishing his energy.The collapse of the God Realm is definitely a big event for the Human Realm.The invasion of the heavenly demon made Yunhe tense, and the human world must prepare as soon as possible, otherwise when the disaster strikes, it will be helpless and just sit and wait for death.Even if it's just a struggle, it must be a struggle.Hope must be kept in mind.

Yunhe proposed that the human race and the monster race should join hands to carry out exorcism activities, and prepare for possible future dangers from now on.The Snow Wolf King was overjoyed, she had been thinking about this for a long time, but she didn't know where to start, now Zhongnanshan Taiyi Palace, who is very prestigious among exorcists, took the initiative to show her favor, it could be said that someone brought a pillow just as she was about to sleep, and she agreed immediately When they came down, the demon and the demon talked happily together until the evening.The Snow Wolf King stayed in the cloud and stayed at the crane, and on the second day he talked about the lunch time in detail from the morning, drawing up most of the regulations.

After lunch, Yunhe bid farewell and went down the mountain, eager to rush back to prepare various matters and contact the various sects.Time is precious, and this veteran is unwilling to waste a moment.Snow Wolf King wanted Zipeng to send him off, but he declined.

"When you come here, you take one step at a time, it is for sincerity; when you go, you take one step at a long pavilion, it is for saving the world. Pindao will go to Maoshan, which is the closest to Changzhou. God Xuelang doesn't have to bother to see him off."

"Taoist Gao Feng." The Snow Wolf King bowed.

Snow Wolf King took Zipeng and Baihe to send Yunhe to the foot of the mountain. When parting, Snow Wolf King noticed the jade pendant on his waist again.The jade pendant exudes a cold breath, the jade is clear and cold, it is a rare cold jade.The Snow Wolf King couldn't help asking about the origin of the jade pendant, Yunhe smiled and said:

"This is a thing passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of our sect. Wearing it by the head of the sect represents identity."

The Snow Wolf King recalled that the founder of Taiyi Palace seemed to be a famous Daoist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling.Could it be that this cold jade is an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty?

Yunhe smiled, waved his goodbyes, unfolded his movements, the wind was blowing under his feet, and his steps were several feet away, it was really "one step, one long pavilion".Snow Wolf King and others watched him leave, then turned back to the mansion.The Snow Wolf King had already left, and Zipeng was about to follow, but found that his wife was staring at the end of the road, in a daze for some reason.

He frowned and called his wife softly.Bai He came back to his senses, smiled shyly, and turned to follow her husband.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the Taoist priest's breath is very familiar."

"familiar?"

"Well, I feel that he has the breath of my master."

"You think too much, he is far behind the Antarctic fairy."

"makes sense."

***************

Xuan Si came back on the 29th of the Lunar New Year, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he got into her room, not knowing what he was doing.This year has been quite deserted. During the New Year's Eve dinner, Baihe made dumplings, and everyone ate them briefly, and then gathered around to watch the new year.Bing'er drank rice wine and fell unconscious early. The Snow Wolf King wrapped her in a thick swaddle, hugged her in his arms, sat cross-legged to warm her body, warmed up the wine with the big monsters, and talked at night around the stove.Everyone's voices are very soft, and sometimes they simply speak through voice transmission. Apart from whispers in the room, there is only the crackling of carbon fire.

They are monsters at first, and they don't have as many rules as humans. If you learn from humans to celebrate the New Year, you can be regarded as living here, "do as the Romans do".That night Snow Wolf King drank slowly and talked a lot, everyone was very quiet, only she could be heard talking.She couldn't remember what she said that night, she just remembered talking all over the place, things in the past, things in the present, things in the future, happy things, sad things, painful things, sad things, it seems that happy things don't matter. Not much, as he talked, he slowly stopped talking.

"When Xueji gets on the right track, I want to travel around." Xuelang said kingly.

"Sister, will you take me with you?" Sister Xuelang asked.

"If you want to follow, you can follow, and I will also take Bing'er," she said.

"A Si, what about you?" After a pause, the Snow Wolf King asked again.

"I may follow Master, or I may go out alone." Xuan Si said sullenly.

The younger sister Xuelang at the side didn't look at Xuansi, but Xuansi looked at her secretly, her face half covered with snow silk looked a bit cold and lonely.Xuan Si pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

The Snow Wolf King closed his eyes and rested his mind, and sighed slightly without showing any signs.

……

In the middle of the ninth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Xuansi traveled far alone for the first time.Snow Wolf King didn't ask her where she was going, nor when she would come back.She just took Sister Xuelang and Bing'er away from Daixue Mansion where she had lived for more than a year, and returned to Tianshan Mountain.This trip back, Snow Wolf King is going to retreat.Tianshan is inaccessible and undisturbed. Snow Wolf King's mana fluctuates too much during his practice, which will affect the surrounding space. Therefore, every time he breaks through in practice, he has to go to Tianshan for retreat.Tianshan is cold, which can suppress the cultivation speed of the Yanyang power in her body, making her foundation more solid. Once she leaves Tianshan, her real strength will increase a lot.And getting used to the cold for a long time is also a necessary way for her to practice.Now, the cold has become her nemesis, and she must have the ability to resist the cold to a certain extent.In order to achieve the word "not afraid" in front of different enemies.

This trip, Xuan Si went to the mountain where he and his elder sister depended on each other for life when they were young.That's where I was picked up by Elder Sister, and Elder Sister was also born in that mountain, maybe I can find a little clue of Elder Sister's resurrection there.

In the past 2000 years, the landforms of the mountains and rivers have changed a lot, and the names of the places have also changed a lot. After searching for a long time, Xuanji finally found the mountain from that year.Entering the mountains, I searched for many days, but found nothing.She is not discouraged, knowing that this matter is extremely difficult, and now it is just the beginning.

As dusk approached, Xuansi decided not to sleep in the open in the mountains today, so he went down the mountain.Walking on the trampled path in the mountain with one deep foot and one shallow foot, I saw a person walking up the mountain in front of me.

Going up the mountain at this hour?It was dark on the mountain.Xuan Si was surprised and couldn't help but look at this person, this is a young son-in-law, no more than 20 years old, although he is wearing a bunt, but his skin is tender, his lips are red and his teeth are white, he is by no means a child of a poor family.The man was carrying a trunk on his back, leaning on a wooden stick in his hand, and was panting as he walked.

Seeing Xuan Si, the man stopped quickly, bowed his hands to Xuan Si, and asked:

"Dare to ask, brother, is this the Yuntai Mountain Tanpu Gorge?"

Xuan Si was walking outside, always dressed like a man for convenience, at the moment he was also dressed in a coarse cloth bunt, and specially smeared himself black with dust and mud to cover up his handsome appearance.She was also carrying a basket on her back, intending to look for some rare medicinal herbs recorded in ancient books that could save life and death, so this young master probably regarded her as a herb picker in this mountain.

Fortunately, Xuansi has been on this mountain for many days, and he has figured out the terrain, so he said:

"Exactly, Tanpu Gorge is just ahead, and it will be there in half an hour's walk."

The man thanked him politely, and went up the mountain again.

Xuanji couldn't help shouting from behind:

"Little brother, it's getting dark today. It's not safe to go up the mountain. There are evil beasts in Tanpu Gorge. Little brother, it's not right to go up the mountain at night."

The man turned around and said with a smile:

"It's okay. I went to Tanpu Gorge to find a few rare jade stones, and I will return when I find them. The stone can only be found at night."

"Why is this?"

"The stone glows at night, but it is no different from ordinary stones during the day, so you can't find it at night?"

Xuan Si thought to himself, why is jade so rare.But he was worried that this person would go up the mountain alone, so he said:

"If you don't mind, little brother, I will accompany you. There are really evil beasts in the Tanpu Gorge. There is a nest of large crocodiles in the deep pool, which can be obtained from dry land and water. They are very sensitive to human breath. If they are targeted by crocodiles , I will definitely be bitten to death. I have been walking in the mountains all year round, so I have some strength, and I have some experience in dealing with that crocodile."

The young man's face turned pale when he heard the words, he hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Okay, then please trouble Xiongtai. Xiaoke's surname is Chu, and his single name is Ting. I don't know Xiongtai Gao's last name?"

"There is no such thing as a high surname, you little brother is really polite. My surname is Xuan, and I live in this mountain." Walking outside, Xuansi learned to lie, covering up his real name, using homonyms, and calling himself a surname." Xuan".Generally, only her surname is reported to the outside world, and when she has to give her full name, she usually uses the pseudonym "Xuan Ziqi".

"Brother Xuan, I'm sorry."

They searched and searched all the way up the mountain. It had been dark for a long time, but Chu Ting still hadn't found any glowing stones. They lit torches and shuttled through the dense forest. Finally, they found the waterside of the waterfall pool. It is clearer in the quiet mountains.Chu Ting tripped and fell to his knees on the ground.Just as Xuan Si was about to help him, he saw him turning back excitedly, holding a torch in one hand, groping in the grass with the other, and finally touched a stone.He threw the torch to Xuan Si and asked Xuan Si to stand far away.The fire was far away, and the stone really glowed. He took out a box from his arms, opened the box, opened layers of cloth, and took out a jade pendant from it.Then he held up the jade pendant and compared it back and forth against the stone, chanting words.

Xuan Si couldn't help but leaned forward, and saw that the jade pendant in his hand was quite unique, like a single-winged butterfly, or like a rising Golden Crow half-hidden by the sky.It looks very warm, like warm jade.

The young man Chu Ting compared for a while, then shouted:

"It's this stone!"

So excitedly put away the jade pendant, then dug out the stone, wiped off the dust, wrapped it in a white cloth, and put it in his trunk.After finishing everything, the young man Chu Ting stood up and bowed to Xuan Si to thank him, Xuan Si waved his hand to indicate no need.

It's really late tonight, and I can't see the mountain road clearly when going down the mountain, it's very dangerous, so I have to sleep in the mountains today.The two found a suitable place, lit a fire, and chatted around the fire.Chu Ting's youthful nature couldn't hide his excitement, and he took out the jade pendant and jade stones to play with from time to time.He also asked Xuansi to touch it, and when Xuansi touched it, his hands were extremely warm and moist, and it was the finest warm jade.It's just that she was stunned in her heart, this young man is not familiar with world affairs, and he is not afraid of killing people and seizing treasures by himself in the deep mountains and old forests?

The young man Chu Ting naturally also knew the importance of jade, so he hugged him tightly in his arms and slept all night, but he didn't dare to sleep well, and when he woke up in the morning, his eyes were black and blue.The two met by chance, and finally said goodbye at the foot of the mountain. This incident caused a wave of turmoil in Xuansi's long life, but it soon settled down and was gradually forgotten.
