"We finally meet."
The voice was gentle and melodious, very pleasant to the ear, but it was hard to tell whether it was a male or female voice.
"Your name is Su Baiyi?"
When Su Baiyi looked up, he saw clouds and mist. When he looked down, he saw the vast ocean. When he looked forward, he saw the misty fairy mountains. When he turned around, he saw the vast earth. The voice seemed to be in the sky, on the earth, hidden in the misty clouds, and should be everywhere.
And where am I? Su Baiyi looked down at his hands. Where is this
"And you, who are you? Where are you?"
"I am a visitor from Yingzhou." The voice replied with a smile, "And you also belong to Yingzhou."
"Yingzhou?" Su Baiyi heard Xie Kanhua mention that legend. It was said that there were five fairy mountains in the world, namely Daiyu, Yuanjiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. In the end, Daiyu and Yuanjiao disappeared, leaving only the other three, one of which was Yingzhou. But that was just a myth, and no fairy mountain had ever been seen in reality.
"Yes, Yingzhou. That is our hometown. One day, you will return to your hometown, and we will meet each other for real." Suddenly, in the void in front of him, the figure of a man in white clothes and white hair slowly appeared, but he was surrounded by a layer of mist, and his true face could not be seen clearly.
Su Baiyi said in a deep voice: "My home is in Xinghua Village."
"That is just a short-term residence in your long life. You will eventually return to Yingzhou and be with me." The voice replied lightly.
"But I've never seen you." Su Baiyi shook his head.
"Kid." The man took a step forward and reached out a hand to touch Su Baiyi's head. "According to the mortal world, I am your uncle."
"My uncle?" Su Baiyi was stunned. According to Mu Pan on the Five-sided Stage, his mother was Su Dianmo, the Second Palace Master of Shanglin Palace. So his uncle must be... Su Baiyi was shocked and said, "You are Grand Palace Master Su Han!"
The man withdrew his hand and stepped back. The mist covering him fluctuated violently. He suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha... You said I'm Su Han?"
Su Baiyi asked in confusion: "Aren't you Su Han? Who are you?"
"You'll know when we meet." The man took a step back and disappeared into the void again. The misty fairy mountain in the distance seemed to be moving slowly backwards, and then disappeared above the sea. Su Baiyi looked up, and the clouds in the sky suddenly turned into flames. He looked down in horror, and the entire sea surface was spinning and turning into a huge whirlpool. His feet were empty, and he fell uncontrollably.
"Ah!" Su Baiyi exclaimed and finally woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes, but met a pair of somewhat blurry eyes.
"Your shout came at the right time." Zhao Xia Qiu said lightly.
Su Baiyi then realized that he was lying in the arms of the man in the tattered Taoist robe in front of him, and quickly jumped out of his arms: "Who are you?"
"My name is Zhao Xiaqiu." Zhao Xiaqiu replied.
"Shrimp balls? What's this name?" Su Baiyi asked in confusion.
"Don't just stand there, run!" A voice called out, and Su Baiyi quickly turned around, only to see his senior sister Nangong Xier rushing towards him.
"Senior sister?" Su Baiyi was confused. Weren't they fighting against Bai Jile on the Five-sided Stage just now? Why did he feel like he was in another world when he opened his eyes
"You're awake." Nangong Xier took Su Baiyi's hand and jumped with him onto the courtyard wall. A bunch of burly men with wooden sticks chased after Nangong Xier: "That woman is stealing the carriage! Catch her!"
"Stealing a carriage?" Su Baiyi opened his mouth wide, "Senior sister, you stole a carriage?"
Nangong Xier blushed slightly: "Don't say so much, just run!" After saying that, she jumped down with him.
"Senior Sister, aren't we on the Wufangtai? Where is this?" Su Baiyi asked while running.
"Musu Town is a small town ten miles away from the foot of Tianxiao Yunjing Mountain." Nangong Xier turned her head and looked while running.
"Ah? I remember that time..." Su Baiyi thought about it, "Oh, Senior Brother Feng had set up a trap for me! He poisoned me! So I fell asleep? No wonder. What about Bai Jile?"
"They were beaten away." Nangong Xier was a little annoyed. "We almost got the carriage just now. Why are you shouting?"
"Oh, that's right. I just had a dream. There was a very strange man in the dream. He said he was from Yingzhou and was my uncle. He said that one day, we would meet each other. Then I fell from the sky, and then I woke up from the dream." Su Baiyi explained, and then thought about the current situation, and suddenly realized, "I understand! I had a dream within a dream, and I am still in a dream now!"
"Ah?" Nangong Xier was stunned.
"Otherwise, why would you steal the carriage, senior sister?" Su Baiyi asked.
Nangong Xier hurriedly stopped and looked back. With her speed, those burly men would have been left far behind. She patted her head and said, "Yeah, I was too absorbed in stealing the carriage."
Su Baiyi watched Nangong Xier's inexplicable behavior from beginning to end, and his guess was more certain: "This must be a dream."
"Let's run!" Nangong Xier pulled Su Baiyi and ran forward again.
"Why are you running again?" Su Baiyi just woke up from a dream, his whole body ached and he really couldn't run anymore.
Nangong Xier said anxiously: "Now that the Taoist priest is not here, why don't we take this opportunity to run! Otherwise, by the time he reacts, we will have no chance again."
Su Baiyi had given up thinking: "I really don't understand..."
At this time, a carriage ran out from the street on their left and stopped in front of them. A young Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe and a pair of bright red boots stretched out his hand towards them and said, "Let's run quickly before they catch up with us!"
Su Baiyi held his forehead with his hand: "Who is chasing who? Who is going to outrun who?"
Nangong Xier smiled awkwardly: "How did you get the carriage?"
Zhao Xiaqiu scratched his head: "I will be scolded by the city lord again when I go back..."
One stick of incense before, Zhao Xiaqiu watched Nangong Xier disappear over the courtyard wall, sighed softly, then looked at the burly men in front of him, bowed his head and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry?"
The leading man frowned and said, "Damn Taoist priest, are you the accomplice of that woman just now?"
Zhao Xiaqiu took a step forward, walked past the men, and came to the backyard where the carriage was tied. The men fainted at that moment. Zhao Xiaqiu touched the head of the big chestnut horse and said, "Let's go find our two companions. Don't let them worry."
