Outside the courtyard wall where the green pines are reclining, a long and jade-like man stands alone in the snow.
He was wearing a large silver cloak, bare feet, and looked up at the courtyard gate.
The long hair that was caressed at the back of his head was blown up by the breeze, revealing a picturesque face. It was hard to imitate the appearance of the green pines. Frost and snow were incomparable to their gods.
There were bursts of laughter in the courtyard. Nan He listened silently for a long time in the snow outside the door. He didn't know when he came here. When he woke up, he found himself standing in this familiar place. outside the courtyard.
He was hurt and tired, so hungry that he really wanted to push open the door in front of him. That man would definitely take him by the hand, lead him into the warm room, and make him a steaming bowl of mutton noodle soup.
But maybe with this hand, the ferocious and powerful monsters on Tianlang Mountain will also be brought into this warm courtyard together, causing them infinite trouble.
Nan He bent down, spread a leaf on the snow at the door, neatly placed five golden and red feathers, and turned to leave.
The courtyard door suddenly opened with a creak, and Yuan Xianger's head was exposed.
She glanced at the feathers on the ground, then narrowed her eyes at the strange man in front of her,
"Xiao Nan?"
The unbelievably beautiful man and Yuan Xianger looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran away!
"What are you running for? Stop for me!" Yuan Xiang'er got angry, pinched a "twist" with one hand at the back who had run away in an instant, and scolded, "Shut up!"
Wrapped in a silver light fur, the slender figure of Qing Jun fell to the snow with a puff.
Yuan Xiang'er caught up, panting and trying to scold him, when she remembered the face that had just passed by before her eyes, the words in her throat suddenly choked.
The one who fluttered in the snow was no longer the little hairball that he once held in his arms. Although he had a familiar aura, he was indeed a young man who looked like a human. His long, smooth legs protruded from the empty hem of his clothes, his frozen red toes were slightly curled up, but the side of his leg showed a patch of scald, and his skin was smeared with blood.
"You..." Yuan Xiang'er reached out to him,
A pair of fluffy ears suddenly popped out of the motionless head buried in the snowdrift, and a fluffy tail emerged from the hem of his clothes.
Those ears twitched, red to the tip of the ears, and the tall and long-legged man turned into a huge silver wolf on the spot. The scarred silver Sirius shook his hair, forcibly broke free from Yuan Xiang'er's spell, turned into a meteor and ran away from the snow like a meteor.
Yuan Xianger almost wanted to swear a swear word.
She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, took a yellow talisman and put the blood stains on the ground between her palms.
An inch tall silver figure wearing a silver pointed mask appeared in the air in front of Yuan Xianger.
Yuan Xianger clasped her fists in salute, bowed slightly, "It's time to work."
The little man was silent, crossed his hands and bowed in return, then turned and quickly followed in the direction where Nan He disappeared.
There is a silver line attached to his leg, and as he leaps forward, the silver body is like a knitted garment that has lost its thread, slowly reducing in circles. Yuan Xianger held the end of the silver thread, slapped two Swift Travel Talismans on her legs, and followed closely.
Wu Yuan turned into a little lynx and slapped Yuan Xianger's shoulder.
"Ah Xiang, we have entered the spiritual world of Tianlang Mountain. This is the place of goblins. Be careful."
"It's okay, I've found it." Yuan Xiang'er stopped in front of an ancient tree in the sky.
I don't know how many years the tree has grown, and the thick trunk can't be closed by more than a dozen people.
A thin silver wire chased an inconspicuous tree hole in the middle of the trunk and disappeared there.
Yuan Xianger climbed up the tree and came to the entrance of the cave. From the outside, the cave was very shallow and there was nothing inside.
Wu Yuan jumped off her shoulders, turned around twice in front of the hole, her eyes lit up with light, and stared inward for a moment,
"There are demons who have set up a formation in it. This formation has the power of stars, and it is very difficult to decipher. Axiang, don't go in casually."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Xianger had already leaned into the cave. At first, her body was sticky and difficult to move, as if she was in a boundless sea of stars. The stars were stagnant for a moment, and they took the initiative to avoid her. That's how Yuan Xianger was. Easy to get into the cave.
As soon as he got in, the inside of the tree hole was completely different from the appearance on the outside. The center of the tree is basically hollow, the cave is more than ten meters high, wide and dark, and a corner of the bottom is covered with a few raptor's fur, and a scarred silver Sirius is curled up on it.
Yuan Xianger climbed down from the entrance of the cave and came to the inevitable Nan He.
Nan He turned his head away and closed his eyes.
All male Sirius are proud of having beautiful silver-white hair. The thicker, softer and more shiny the hair, the more powerful and powerful it is. Now that his left and right pieces have lost his fur, and his ugly and embarrassed appearance can be seen by anyone, but he does not want to see this person in front of him. But she could only helplessly show her most embarrassed appearance in front of her without any cover.
Will she despise herself, will she no longer want to reach out and touch her head.
The warm soft palm touched Nan He's head after a long time, and as before, carefully rubbed his ears and pinched his sensitive pinna.
"Why don't you run when you see me. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much. Thank you for those gifts."
That man squatted beside him, stroked his hair gently, and spoke to him in a soft voice. That soft voice passed through the pores of his skin, like countless needles as thin as a cow's hair, at the apex of Nan He's heart. A stab at the top made his heart suddenly sour and astringent.
Yuan Xianger saw the big wolf, and finally opened her eyes. She glanced at herself with those amber eyes, and slowly moved the white head closer to her. The severely scalded body was pitiful. She curled up and snuggled up beside her.
This is the first time this awkward little wolf has taken the initiative to approach him after having known each other for so long. Yuan Xianger's heart almost softened.
"Does it hurt?" She carefully checked Nan He's injuries, and she didn't know what Nan He had experienced here alone. As if he had emerged from the fire, a large area of the skin fell off, blisters, and blood dripping down. It's all distressing.
"Draw a golden arrow for you to summon the gods?"
She thought that Nan He would refuse as habitually as before, or would not respond, but after a while, a low voice sounded in the cave, and hummed softly.
Yuan Xianger took out the talisman she was carrying, dipped it in cinnabar, drew a golden arrowhead array around Nanhe to relieve pain and stop bleeding, and sat cross-legged beside him and recited the dharma several times in a low voice.
The silver-white Sirius lay silently in the array, resting his chin on his lap, turning his amber eyes to look at her from time to time.
"I'll go back and get some medicine, and then bring you something to eat? Or do you follow me back first?" Yuan Xianger stood up.
Nan He lowered his eyelashes, and it took a long time to hear his voice, "This place is very dangerous. I have many enemies, and they may appear soon. You... don't come here again."
It was obviously a refusal, but Yuan Xianger could hear a kind of grievance and sadness that turned a few corners. Xiao Nan's ears were lowered, and he was reluctant to leave by himself.
Wuyuan outside the cave was blocked by the formation and couldn't get in, and was anxiously spinning around on the branches.
"I'm fine here, Wu Yuan, go back first and bring me some medicine and food." Yuan Xiang'er shouted at the entrance of the cave.
Wu Yuan, you go back first.
You go back first.
You go back.
Nan He's drooping ears suddenly perked up mentally, turning back and forth nimbly.
He knew that he should let Yuan Xianger leave immediately, it was not safe here. But when the words reached his mouth, he rolled over, swallowed and spit it out. After tossing back and forth hundreds of times, he couldn't say it.
Before the words could be said, the stomach had already made a protest sound.
"Are you hungry?" Yuan Xiang'er said, "Wu Yuan won't be back so soon, wait for me for a while, and I'll go get you something to eat."
This sentence completely dispelled Nan He's hesitant words. He remembered the oily mutton skewers they ate on the street together, and the fragrant beef soup they drank together. The empty stomach was almost like before. Heart stuck to the back.
Just eat a little something, and let her leave immediately after eating. Nan He, who couldn't bear the temptation, swallowed and convinced himself.
There was no fire in the cave, so Yuan Xianger dug out of the tree hole, hunted and killed a mountain deer, roasted it in a sheltered place, and slipped back with a scent.
She tore off the oily mountain deer meat bit by bit and fed it into the mouth of the Nanhe lying on the ground.
"Can you eat it?" Yuan Xiang'er asked him, "Eat a little bit first, and then find a way to get you something to digest later."
Nan He cherished the well-cooked food in his mouth, and the mellow gravy flowed down his esophagus into his hungry stomach, soothing his body that had been starved for several days all the way.
He was so badly injured that chewing and swallowing became a pain. If it was before, he could only find out the raw meat frozen in the cave and force himself to swallow the cold and hard raw meat.
But at the moment, there is a person sitting next to him, feeding himself a little bit of crispy and soft barbecue, and coaxing himself to drink the sweet mountain spring water.
Nan He thought with shame that even if this person likes to touch his ears, it's actually not a bad thing.
There was a slight tremor from the ground, and the branches of the cave shuddered.
Nan He propped up his body and listened for a moment.
"They're here." At this moment, he turned from a big soft hair ball into a sharp blade, fierce, firm, and towering like a mountain.
"It's still too late, you go now." The amber eyes were icy cold.
"Who's here? I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you."
Nan He looked at her in astonishment, "No. The enemy is very powerful..."
Before he could say anything, Yuan Xianger had already pinched a trick, and he was stuck on the ground, unable to move.
"I'm not weak either." Yuan Xiang'er unquestionably used the fastest speed, starting from the entrance of the cave and laying out several enemy formations all the way.
The enemy came very quickly, the ground was shaking, and the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard outside the cave.
The silver wolf, who broke free from the law, reluctantly made his body huge twice, swept over with a big fluffy tail, gently rolled Yuan Xianger behind him, and hid in the pile of furs stacked on the ground.
Yuan Xianger was submerged in a piece of fur, barely struggling to stick out her head from the silver-white world, staring nervously at the shaking hole.
She spoke very firmly, but in fact, she had never really fought a big demon before, and she was unavoidably nervous. Fortunately, she still has a trump card, even if she can't beat it, Master's Pisces formation should still be able to protect herself and Nan He.
A gigantic human-shaped head swayed past the cave, and the flesh on the head was drooping in layers, like an old life that had lived for thousands of years and was close to decay. His huge eyes stayed at the entrance of the cave, cloudy. The eyes rolled and looked into the cave.
Yuan Xianger held her breath. The white fluffy tail gently covered her and hid her.
Fortunately, the huge monster didn't seem to have the same talent as Wu Yuan, so he looked around at the entrance of the cave and finally left slowly.
"Wu Yuan, stay at home, don't go near this place." Yuan Xiang'er issued a warning to Wu Yuan in time through the apostle contract.
