Shanhaizhi

The clothes around him slammed violently, and the dry wind was mixed with brown dust, filling the sky and the earth.The sun is blazing, generously sprinkled on the ground, leaving a colorful halo.

"Ah, this country is really dry." Crane complained nonchalantly, with a few lovely folds out of his small nose.

"There must be a reason for the strangeness." I chuckled lightly and scratched his nose, "We have to speed up the pace, maybe the king here is willing to treat us to a good lunch." Straight forward strode forward, I know The crane will follow up by itself.

"Yes! Master!" Without any suspense, He's energetic voice came from behind.

This is a very small country.Located in the center of the country, you can see the border wall as far as your eye can see.

"Master Shushi, our country is honored to receive your protection, it is really a blessing for the people of the whole country."

On the stargazing tower of the palace, the smiling Wang chattered beside me, and I secretly rolled my eyes. The wrinkles on his face due to the smile were not as flattering as the crane, although Wang didn't look old.

This couldn't be easier. He showed his identity as a sorcerer to the soldiers guarding the city gate, "I passed by this country, and seeing the abnormal weather, I would like to pray for the blessings and relief of the people here with my own strength." Simple but extremely effective rhetoric - I was immediately invited to King Ni's palace with the highest standard of etiquette as the supreme guest of Ni.

"I already know the basic situation. I can bring a heavy rain to Ni country, but it will not cure the symptoms. I hope to stay in your country for a while and find out the cause of Ni country's drought."

"Of course! My country's honor!"

So far, Crane and I have lived in the palace.

Ni country's climate is indeed abnormal.Compared with the raging wind and sand outside the city walls, the air in Ni country is sweet and humid, it is almost like a protective cover isolating Ni country from the outside world.Overlooking the whole country from the stargazing tower, the tallest building in Ni country, you can see all kinds of large and small water collection and storage equipment - Ni country has not rained for five years.The king's counselors devised various methods to collect the precious water from the air.

Of course, there is another basis for this judgment: I just passed through this country 300 years ago. At that time, it was a place with abundant rain, green trees and dotted with lakes.

Don't worry, the truth will eventually come to light.

Turn around and go back to the bedroom that Wang specially prepared for me and He, and let my body fall into the wide chair paved with white tiger skin.Crane obediently offered tea with green tea soup, and gently squeezed and patted my shoulder behind me.

Curly white smoke floated up, I took a sip of tea and found that the temperature was just right.

"What do you think, Master?" Crane's voice was also very soft.

"It's not Xiong Chongyong and them. I just contacted them. Those guys, I'm afraid the world will not be dry. What is causing trouble this time?" I fiddled with the tea cover carelessly, and caught a glimpse of the crimson and bright purple behind the door out of the corner of my eye. Color, "Come out, Your Highness the Little Prince."

"Ah, that, I didn't mean to peek at Mr. Sorcerer... No, that..." The 11-year-old little prince of Ni Kingdom stood out from behind the door tremblingly, rubbing the corners of his poor clothes with both hands awkwardly, His eyes lowered, not daring to meet my gaze, "I heard... a handsome and powerful magician and a child about my age came to the palace, so I want to come and see..."

After a long while, the young little prince of Ni country finally summoned up the courage to raise his head, carefully avoided my playful eyes, and looked at the crane behind me, "I hope to have a playmate."

"Your Highness, little prince, although I am very happy to be favored by you, as a servant of the master—" The sensitive crane received my signal gaze, and the words that were about to refuse waited for a moment on his lips, and turned around tactfully. Wan, "Our master and servant have just arrived at the palace, and there are still many things to do. I will come to you later, okay?"

The little prince of the country of Ni, that is, Hao, pursed his lips in depression, but he became happy again in a flash, "Then you should hurry up." Hao bowed to me twice respectfully, and ran out happily.

When Hao's figure disappeared completely, Hecai asked in puzzlement, "Master, do you have any orders?"

"Ah, a very interesting thing. I didn't expect that there would be clues so soon. I'm sure that the little prince of Ni has a secret. When you contact him, pay attention to whether there are strange things around him." I slightly curled my lips, Feel a little cheery about productive progress.

"Strange thing?"

"If you see it, you will know." I didn't bother to explain, and thought to myself, as the heir of the country, the little prince of Ni country is a bit too timid, which is different from the king's bragging.

The king and queen in their 40s have only one son, Hao, and the whole country naturally places great expectations on him. The king told me about the little prince calmly, presumably hoping that I can give him a blessing, of course. If there is a destiny, it would be a wonderful thing to be the teacher of the little prince.

Hao?What a promising name.

I lightly lifted the cup, covering my mocking eyes.

Interesting thing?As the crane walked quickly through the wide corridor, he couldn't help muttering, don't all the magicians in the Shanhai Continent like to play with mystery so much?Knowing the palace of the little prince of the Ni country from the maid, he found the little prince Hao of the Ni country without any difficulty.It's just that when Hao jumped forward happily and hugged He tightly, He rolled his eyes in the blind corner of his sight.

Of course, for me, there are no dead ends.With a wave of my robe sleeve, the picture of the crane on the water mirror gradually blurred, and tiny ripples spread out. Only for a moment, the water surface returned to calm, reflecting my pair of dark black pupils, and the piercing eyebrows raised slightly at this time—— Denying it, Crane's extremely disgusted but helpless expression is too vivid, which makes me feel good.

I don't know what kind of games ten-year-old human children usually play, but I can be sure that the crane will not be interested.Although Yihe is only over 200 years old, he is undoubtedly a young child in the world of spirits and monsters.

Crane's eyes are very bright.When he focused on a person, he had the illusion that thousands of stars were in his eyes.He likes to smile, his body is filled with a gentle breath.Submissive, considerate, and understanding, such a crane should be very popular with children, especially when he looks like a handsome boy of thirteen or fourteen.

It has been seven years since I rescued the crane from Yushan Yuyi and allowed him to follow me. I, who have never been alone, will one day let a servant follow me in human form for so long.This may also have something to do with Crane's submissive temperament, although he is becoming more and more bold now, and sometimes even advocates doing some inexplicable things without authorization.

It was rare for me to immerse my thoughts in the past for a few seconds. I shook my clothes and got up, no longer looking back at the basin of water that was of great value in Ni Country, and prepared to go to the most precious place in Ni Country-the Holy Water Pool.
