In the beginning, it was Xiao Ting talking to the Ninth Prince, and finally turned into a battle of wits and courage with the little boy, of course it was just a bickering.
After a while, I came to the bamboo forest.
Looking at the bamboo here during the day, it is exactly the same as usual, without a trace of abnormality.
Several people looked at each other, did not greet others, and chose the direction they had entered in the first place, and walked inside.
Not long after, Xiao Ting stopped and said to the Ninth Prince, "This is the place."
When they came to this place, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she came to the snow-capped mountain.
And the Ninth Prince told her that they also felt a flash of light in front of them, and when they woke up again, they were tied to the bamboo not far away.
It just took some time to find Xiao Ting.
The Ninth Prince waved her and the little boy away, while he wandered around in place, but according to the results of their recent visits, there was no movement at all.
"The bamboo is planted really well, the distance between each one seems to be measured..." Xiao Ting was bored, wandering around.
At this time, the Ninth Prince suddenly had a thought when he heard her words.
"Boom..."
Hearing a crisp sound from behind, Xiao Ting turned around quickly, and saw the Ninth Prince turned into a powerful demon king, and uprooted the nine bamboos.
Before she could speak, the scene in front of her changed dramatically.
When she opened her eyes again, the three of them were in the same place, a white snow-capped mountain, and the biting cold hit her, and she shivered unconsciously.
"But here?"
Ninth Prince frowned lightly, a little uncertain.
Xiao Ting nodded, "That's right, it's here."
A group of three, with Xiao Ting leading the way, soon arrived in front of the ice gate.
Without a trace of barriers, they came to the interior of the stone palace.
"this… "
Before coming here, Xiao Ting was very excited, but after arriving here, she was disappointed.
"Master..."
She called loudly a few times, but the lotus platform was still there, but there was no familiar figure.
The Ninth Prince stopped her from passing, and walked forward alone.
The lotus platform is complete, with dust all over it, and there is no trace of foreign smell.
There is nothing above it.
Seeing that there was no danger, the Ninth Prince called Xiao Ting over, Xiao Ting had walked all over the stone palace, there was no other way out, and she didn't see anyone she wanted to see.
Look a little depressed.
The two walked around the lotus platform several times, but they didn't find anything strange.
"Master is gone, he doesn't want to see me..."
Ninth Prince opened his mouth and asked, "It doesn't look like someone has appeared here before, could you be mistaken?"
And there was no trace of the flame in Xiao Ting's mouth, if someone had sat on the lotus platform, then the dust here would not still be there, there would definitely be traces.
"No, that's the master, he even talked to me!"
Xiao Ting glanced left and right, with a depressed expression, and brushed away the dust on the lotus platform with her fingers, even she couldn't convince herself.
Because there really are no traces here.
"Then, look for it again!" The Ninth Prince went to the other side after Er.
Xiao Ting was also lacking in interest. At this time, the little boy jumped onto the lotus platform, imitating the statues of Bodhisattvas in the town, sitting there cross-legged, and shouted happily: "Miss sister, look at me, do I look like... ah..."
As soon as Xiao Ting turned her head, she saw the little boy's body flashing suddenly. She was startled and rushed forward.
The Ninth Prince moved faster than her, and he was in front of him in a blink of an eye.
But he stood there without moving, Xiao Ting came to him and said, "Don't you hurry up and save someone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was speechless.
I saw the little boy's head stuck out, and then he stood up slowly, rubbed his little buttocks, and said, "The buttocks are almost split into two pieces!"
When he saw the expressions of Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince, he rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry..."
The moment his body lost weight, he subconsciously screamed.
Unexpectedly, the bottom of this lotus platform is hollow, not as tall as him, standing at the bottom, revealing a small head.
Seeing that he was not injured, Xiao Ting was relieved only after being taken aback.
"Okay, come out if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Ting flicked his forehead angrily, then reached out to pull him.
The little boy stretched out his hand, suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "Miss, wait a minute, there is something under my feet."
He shrank back again, and the Ninth Prince took out the torch and blew it on at the right time, and then placed it at the entrance of the cave.
"Ah, here's a little box..."
The little boy had just seen clearly by the firelight.
I suddenly screamed, jumped up and down, but unfortunately I couldn't get out, "There are snakes, there are snakes..."
While he was yelling, the Ninth Prince had already stretched out his hand and lifted him out.
"Stand back."
Then he pressed down lightly with both palms, and the whole lotus platform split open in all directions like a snow lotus blooming.
With a bang, the stone fell to the ground, revealing a small pit.
A small blue snake inside quickly ran away without hurting anyone.
And there, only some stones remained.
The Ninth Prince refused to let them pass, he stepped forward alone, kicked away the stones, and picked up a bamboo book on the ground.
After a few glances, I don't understand.
First hold it in your hand, then look at a wooden box, only as big as his palm, simple and simple.
He rummaged through it several times, but found nothing again.
Only then did he go forward to beckon Xiao Ting over, "Come and see what this is?"
Xiao Ting leaned forward curiously, and muttered: "You know I can't read, but you still show me..."
Even so, she took a look.
But just this one glance made her almost pop her eyes out.
As soon as she grabbed the bamboo book, Xiao Ting began to read it seriously.
"Xiao Xiao, seeing words is like face..."
It is the text of the 23rd century, the handwriting of the master, not the text of this time and space.
It was a text she was familiar with and could understand.
Her expression was first surprised, then frowned, and finally her eyes were red.
"What's written on it?" Ninth Prince Ruyu's face flashed unhappiness, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the words on it.
Even if you want to know it, it is only a few words, if they are not coherent, you will naturally not be able to appreciate the true meaning of them.
Xiao Ting looked up at him, pouted and said, "Master left it."
Then, she closed the bamboo book, took the box in his hand, and said: "This is what we are looking for, it is left by the master."
"Then what about your master?" The Ninth Prince was still a little puzzled. According to Xiao Ting, her master had been dead for many years, and she was still a soul from another time and space.
Why, her master would appear here, which is really unimaginable.
Xiao Ting was a little disappointed, shook her head, and said, "He only let me do it for myself."
The master had said this word when their master and apprentice met that day, but at that time she wanted the master to save Chu Li, and she thought the master would not change his mind.
Unexpectedly, he knew everything, what she was looking for, and her decision.
Although he violated the way of heaven and rejected her on the surface, he still helped her quietly.
Xiao Ting couldn't tell what it was like, "Chu Li, why do I feel a little sad?"
In Xiao Ting's world, this kind of emotion is almost unprecedented.
Even when her master passed away, she never experienced any fluctuations.
"Human nature." The Ninth Prince didn't persuade her, nor did he say anything, he just threw four words at her, stepped forward and hugged her gently.
Xiao Ting put her face in his arms and murmured, "Is it human?"
She was not sad when the master died, but now knowing that the master is not dead, she is a little sad.
This box contains the source of extreme yin, and the booklet records the method of opening the wooden box, and the last "good for oneself".
At this moment, the ground shook slightly, and suddenly stone chips flew overhead.
Ninth Prince pulled her and the little boy over, "Let's go."
The three of them ran out of the cave, only to find that the icebergs outside were also collapsing, and the glaciers began to flow backwards, just like the beginning of the world, and the rules of the whole world were changing.
The river flowed backwards, and the snow-capped mountains were torn apart. All three of them were in a hurry.
"Does it record how to get out?"
When things were like this, they already understood that this world didn't really exist, they were caught in the formation, but they didn't make much preparation when they came in, it was just a test.
I didn't expect it to be successful, but getting out was not that simple.
"No." Xiao Ting shook her head, "I don't know, last time I passed out directly."
The movement under the feet is getting bigger and bigger, and the snow mountain is sliding, and it is common to take a step for several miles.
One wrong step and you could step right into the glacier.
The whole world is a vast expanse of whiteness, and biting cold is the eternal theme.
And they don't know that the outside world is more chaotic than here.
Not long after they came in, there was a big commotion here.
First, the bamboo forest shifted, attracting countless people to watch, and then a large number of officers and soldiers arrived and surrounded it.
And drove everyone in the town over and asked them what happened here.
Of course, everyone knew nothing, and they all replied tremblingly.
Not long after, the local magistrate arrived in person, followed by a woman.
Dressed in white and wearing a veil, the steps on his head shook slightly, making a ding-dong sound.
It makes people dizzy.
Her steps are unhurried, her posture is elegant, and her figure is pretty and exquisite. If Xiao Ting were here, she would definitely sigh that this woman is more like a princess than Zhaohua.
The magistrate got out of the sedan chair, and Ben still had his hands behind his back, asking solemnly. When he saw the woman getting off the carriage, he immediately turned his head and went to meet her.
As low as your posture should be, with a flattering smile on your face, "Ma'am, why are you down?"
"Can my lord ask for useful information?"
The woman walked forward calmly with lotus steps, without looking sideways at the prefect, the prefect turned his body to get out of the way, and then followed her.
"Not yet." The magistrate was a little embarrassed, and then said: "People here don't know what to say, they just felt the ground vibrate a few times, and then there was no movement."
"What about the bamboo forest? Can someone go in?"
The woman continued to move forward and came to the outskirts of the bamboo forest, but did not step forward.
Upon hearing the words, the magistrate immediately summoned those who answered, "Has there been any strangers in your town recently?"
"Go back to the magistrate, come, a man and a woman have come."
"Oh?" In front of these ordinary people, the magistrate's authority is very powerful, "Do you know who it is?"
The common people did not dare to hide anything at the moment, after Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince arrived, they told them all about what happened.
It's a pity that they didn't know much about it, and Xiao Ting was seriously ill, they all knew about it, and they didn't think it was a big deal.
"My lord, that little lady is sick, that's why she stayed. We have told them to leave as soon as she recovers."
