It's winter, and I don't see much snow.
Originally, the farther north you go, the easier it is to see snow. What’s interesting is that in Shanghai, it’s sunny and crisp in winter, but in Hangzhou, it starts to snow lightly. The snowflakes fall on this paradise-like city, making it even more white and charming.
Mo Fan also understood why Xinxia came here. Unlike herself, a country boy who only wanted to go to the big city, maybe what she wanted was just such tranquility and beauty, a mountain, a water, a place. A bridge, a city.
Xinxia's school is also very close to the West Lake. Mo Fan didn't rush to pick her up when he arrived in Hangzhou, but took her for a walk with interest.
Slowly walking along the long Su Causeway, there are willows on both sides, and further away there are sparkling waves, and further away there are scattered mountains with peaks, temples, and pavilions. On the other side is a forest of tall buildings, reflecting In the lake.
After passing the Su Causeway and arriving at the Leifeng Pagoda Scenic Area, Mo Fan looked up at the new tower and the old site. When he was thinking about something, there was a person who looked like a local next to him and said mysteriously: "Brother, this is your first time here. Hehe, the one you see is the base of the old Leifeng Pagoda. I heard from the old man that a white snake was once dug out here!"
"How old is White Snake?" Mo Fan asked with interest.
"It must be so thick." As he said that, the dark-faced local made a hug gesture.
"So big???" Mo Fan was also stunned.
Damn it, snakes as big as this are monsters, right
"Isn't it true? No one could kill it at that time. In the end, a certain master at that time almost exhausted his life force and sealed it..." The locals looked around, as if they were talking about a big secret.
"You can't even kill him. You're so awesome. Where is the final seal?" Mo Fan asked.
"Well, it might be in the New Leifeng Pagoda, or it might be under the Broken Bridge, it might be in the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, or it might be near Baidi. Look, I have a strategy manual here, which not only introduces this legend, but also There are also guides for other scenic spots. Each one costs five yuan. I saw that my brother is a person who likes to explore and seek the truth. Seeing that you may be a destined person, I will sell it to you for four yuan. said the dark-skinned local.
"Four yuan is quite cheap. But, brother, I don't think the story you tell about this big snake is particularly attractive. If you turn this big snake into a human being, it turns into a woman who looks like a fairy. , and then met a young master on a broken bridge, and the two fell in love with each other. In the end, a certain master looked down upon him and sealed the female snake spirit under the Leifeng Pagoda... Print a booklet of this story and ask someone to draw some beautiful pictures. Many little girls and young people will buy the pictures of Bubble. Because of my affinity with you, I will sell you the copyright of this story at a cheaper price, 9 yuan!" Mo Fan said with raised eyebrows.
The dark-skinned local was stunned for a moment. He felt that what the young man said was quite reasonable. The question was, why did he have to pay for it himself when he sold the goods
Xinxia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help laughing as she listened to Mo Fan and the man selling the map talking serious nonsense.
They deceived and deceived again and again, and in the end neither of them sold anything.
After seeing the person selling the map leave, Mo Fan continued to push Xinxia around the tower and said, "This person has no common sense. He has never heard of the legend of the New White Snake."
"I haven't heard of it either," Xinxia said.
"Oh, isn't it here? I thought the history here is completely consistent, and the myths and legends should be the same." Mo Fan was a little surprised.
"I don't understand what you said?" Xinxia said with a confused look.
"Didn't I tell you, I am a man from another world, where magic is not learned. Although there are Qin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and so on, it seems that because animals turn into monsters, Some mythological stories are inconsistent," Mo Fan said.
Xinxia couldn't help but murmured: "I'm not a child anymore, how could I believe your words?"
"Even you don't believe me. It seems that I will never be able to prove that I am an alien." Mo Fan said with a bitter smile.
"But you are still you." Xinxia said.
Mo Fan was slightly stunned. Originally he just wanted to laugh at himself in this way, but suddenly Xinxia's words made Mo Fan think deeply and feel relieved.
Seeing that Mo Fan was silent, Xinxia thought she had said something wrong, so she quietly changed the topic and said, "Brother Mo Fan, one of my history teachers said that we people in Bo City are very special."
"How do you say it?" Mo Fan asked.
"Do you remember the Earthly Holy Spring? It has a long, long history, dating back to more than 200 AD." Xinxia said.
"That's right. After nearly two thousand years, many stories must have happened around this holy spring... Then why do we say that the people in Bo City are special?" Mo Fan said.
"The teacher said that we people in Bo City are actually probably the guardians of the Earthly Holy Spring. Bo City used to be just a small village. Under the order of an ancient king, we guarded the Earthly Holy Spring for generations. But as time passes, As time went by, the guardians continued to multiply, turning a village into a town, and after many years, the town became a city. The entry of outsiders, the change of ownership of the city, the overthrow of feudal society... Bo City became Now that it is like this, the so-called guardians have already disappeared in these long years, or maybe the entire Bo City is a guardian..." Xinxia said seriously.
Mo Fan listened very attentively and couldn't help but think of those people from the Black Church.
Those Black Churches are obviously destroying Bo City with some purpose. Could it be that the disaster in Bo City is related to this so-called history of the Guardian?
However, this was probably two thousand years ago. Is it really that important to be a guardian or not
Their target is the Holy Spring?
The Earth Holy Spring is in my hands now, so what the people of the Black Vatican want has actually been held by me
Damn it, then I’m not very dangerous.
A beast like the Black Church can really do anything. The massacre of a city and the days of Blood Alert are still vivid in Mo Fan's mind.
"Did your history teacher say anything else?" Mo Fan asked.
"He also speculated based on some historical records. He said that to understand the truth, he might have to search in a mausoleum. However, the undead creatures in that mausoleum are quite terrifying. No magician has dared to actually step into that mysterious mausoleum. " Xinxia said.
"Mausoleum, what mausoleum??" Mo Fan continued to ask.
"There is a mausoleum in the ancient capital. It is the most famous place of the dead in our country. Brother Mo Fan, don't you usually listen carefully in class?"
