Chapter 7 The Top of the World (1)

The blue sky is clear and the snow peaks are continuous and majestic. Under the sunlight, it shines with dazzling golden light.

Looking out from the window of the East Sea Pavilion of Yuluo Palace, you can see the entire view of the southern valley of Yushan Mountain. The walls are thousands of feet high, white clouds are lingering, and the snow-like birds are circling and singing, flying low against the winding palace groups below. To the east, the ravine cliffs are like giant doors opening. Looking out, there are the magnificent Kunlun peaks.

It is spring, and the grass at the foot of the mountain is connected to the distant sky. The wild flowers are as red as fire, yellow as gold, as gorgeous as brocade. When the wind blows, it seems that you can still smell the rich fragrance. But above the mountain is still covered with snow, with ice peaks standing steeply, and occasionally hear loud rumblings, melting glaciers burst down the valley.

Sili held her cheeks and looked at the movement in a daze. The sun was dazzling and shining with colorful halos. Behind the mountain was still a mountain. I wonder if you have to pass through tens of millions of miles before you can see the boundless blue sea?

She closed her eyes and wanted to breathe the fishy and cool sea breeze, but she only heard the strong wind whistling the wind chimes in front of the eaves. The whistling stones echoed among the mountains. She heard the seven-orbital conch in her arms making intermittent sounds like sobs.

The eyelashes trembled, and tears flowed leisurely across the cheeks, condensed into a faint thin water, which was blown by the wind and cooled into the heart. When I opened my eyes, my heart fell empty, just like the valley of Kunlun. My face was reflected on the crystal window, pretty and picturesque, but expressionless.

The bead curtains in the palace sounded crisply. Xin Jiugu led the two maids quietly, putting a stack of exquisite green jade boxes on the table, waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and whispered: "Princess, the ice letter and gifts sent by the prince consort today. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Xianxian listened and still looked out the window in a daze.

Xin Jiugu felt sad. Over the past year, she went from being a lively and playful girl to a taciturn princess, who never walked away from the snail palace all day long. She often sat by the window and blew the seven-orbit conch, and it took a day to blow. She ate less and less, and she couldn't sleep at night and became thinner day by day. Her former plump and round arms had been cut by nearly half, and the jasper bracelet was placed on her slender white wrist. It slid up and down, which seemed particularly distressing.

Queen Mother of the West and Baidi were quite worried. She knew that she didn't say anything, but she always cared about Kehan ​​Huai and Tuobaye in her heart, but she had no way to relieve her. She could only let Xin Jiugu be with her day and night, relieve her boredom from time to time, and make her talk.

Ji Yuanxuan often asked someone to ask Jiu Gu about Xianxian's preferences, and tried his best to collect rare and fun gifts from all over the place, and kept sending them every day. He also frozen his words in the cold frost of nine bells and sent them with the gifts. Once they melted, they could hear them. This attracted the envy of the maids in the palace.

Xin Jiugu opened the last jade box, took out a delicate and transparent purple horn snail, and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "This is the Ying snail in Xunshan, Nanhuang. The prince consort recently moved to Nanhuang. I believe he knew that the princess likes to blow snails, so he came here specially. Princess shouldn't blow it?"

Xianxian glanced at the purple snail and turned her head away.

Xin Jiugu had no choice but to put the purple snail back into the jade box. He took out a bunch of purple leaves and white flowers from the next jade box. The flowers were filled with black fruits, soaked in ice and snow. It was as bright as grapes, and it looked quite attractive.

Jiu Gu said with a "ah" and smiled: "This is the Yao grass of Taishi Mountain. It will only bloom in three years and bear fruit in ten years. It is said that eating its flowers can make you sleep peacefully. Eating its fruits will make you dream after you are even more beautiful. The prince-consort heard that you can't sleep. He deliberately asked someone to stay on the cliff of Taishi Mountain for more than a month, and when the flowers bloom and bear fruit, they picked the ones they sent."

Xianxian smiled slightly, picked a few black fruits and put them into her mouth. It was indeed sweet and sour. She chewed a few bites, then shook her head and said lightly: "It's not as delicious as the monkey fruit in Tanggu." She lowered her head and vomited like a bronze man.

Monkey fruit is one of the rare fruits in the soup valley with poor soil. It grows on cliffs and bears fruit in summer, and when it bears fruit, the sea monkeys gather to pick them. They become monkeys and others are greedy. They often compete with the monkeys. Then they pay tribute to the tribute to the slim figuratively, but they are often teased by her, saying that he is the Monkey King offering peaches.

Xin Jiugu felt sad, and suddenly missed the green and sour monkey fruit, and the old friend who was making trouble all day long. When he was in Tanggu, he always missed Kunlun and returned home like an arrow; but when he returned to Kunlun, he often dreamed that Tanggu Fusang was in his dream, as if it was his hometown.

She calmed down and took out the remaining gifts one by one. She didn't even look at them or glanced at them, and then put them down. In her eyes, these rare treasures in the wilderness were even worse than sand and gravel.

Xin Jiugu remembered that when Tuobaye gave her extremely ordinary snail shells and clams, he could enjoy all day long, and sighed inwardly, "In another ten days, it will be your birthday. The Great Master of Science and Technology sent a gift from the East China Sea this morning. Now let's go and have a look with the princess in Henghe Palace."

Xianxian shook slightly, raised her head and stared at her for a moment, then suddenly got up and ran out of the hall.

The sky was clear and the wind was cold. She flew like a flying, passing through the corridor, bypassing the Five Halls, and running down the ridge of Biluo Peak. The guards and palace maids all looked at each other in surprise when they saw it.

On the hillside, the green snow shirts were endless, rising and falling like waves. She passed through the snow and rushed into the lush fir forest with branches and leaves. The wind whistled, the sun shone colorfully between the gaps, and a few cedars escaped in panic.

The eaves are hooked with corners, the wind chimes swaying, and the golden glazed tiles of Henghe Palace are shining and magnificent against the blue sky and snow-capped mountains.

She panted and turned down the hillside, ran into the front hall, and rushed straight into the room. The guards on both sides saw that it was Princess Xiling, and all bent over to salute and rush to avoid it.

When she arrived in the corridor, she took a deep breath, buckled her clothes, and slowed down. The bead curtains were flying, the bells were crisp, the peach blossoms were colorful, and the snow outside the corridor was as gorgeous as the clouds.

Turning east and west, passing through the deep corridor, approaching Luoxia Pavilion, the horn of the acacia rhinoceros horn in his arms suddenly sounded softly, and the Queen Mother of the West said lightly: "The snake descendants seem to believe in the reincarnation of Fu Xi of Tuobaye. Within two days, forty-eight barbarians responded to the Great Wilderness and worshiped him as emperor. Even in the cold Wilderness, three tribes secretly sent envoys to call Chen."

Xianxian's heart suddenly paused. Then there was a bang bang. Every time he heard this name, it was always like he was strangled by someone's throat, and he couldn't breathe. He stopped unconsciously, put the horn of lovesick rhinoceros horn in his ears, and listened quietly.

The White Emperor smiled and said, "Crown Prince Tuoba is generous and kind, and has a good way to control people. Tang Gu is under his restraint to cleanse his heart and face. There are many violent and rebellious people in the snake clan. If he can listen to his restraint, that would be great."

Queen Mother of the West snorted and said, "The snake clan is very different from Tanggu. Although it falls apart and is crippled everywhere, it is always ambition and always wants to restore the ancient snake system. If Prince Tuoba's way of loving gentleness can work, that's good; if it can't be controlled, the harm is probably far better than the water monster."

Baidi said warmly: "The power of Zhulong is spread all over the world that day. You have thought about how to fight with him. Who can imagine that he would shrink like a baby and become a puppet of Chaoyang Shui Bo? Spring and autumn withering. The sky is in its way, so why should I worry too much about Yumei?"

Queen Mother of the West was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, do you still remember what you and I said while the spring snow first melted last year, and when the mountains and rivers were in the mountains and rivers?"

Baidi smiled slightly and said, "Of course I remember. The spring snow peach blossoms make new wine. The glaciers and river banks talk about old friends. You and my brother and sister have not talked about it for a long time like that day. In a blink of an eye, it was another year, and the situation in the world changed, but most of what we guessed that day failed. This may be called 'Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculations."

The Queen Mother of the West said slowly: "Yes. I thought Zhulong would make a comeback after returning to the North Sea. I was in vain. I still deployed heavy troops in the Tianshan area. Who would have thought that he would be defeated in the East Sea first, and was inexplicably controlled by Tianwu. Life is worse than death."

He paused and said, "I am confident that I am very accurate in my opinion, but I have taken a look at this obedient and mediocre Shui Bo. Not to mention the 'Eight Great Techniques', he can endure for so many years and have such profound plans. Today, I am afraid that few people will be his opponents."

Baidi said: "Shui Bo can rectify his power in just a few months and unify the Beihai. Even Naz also called Chen Zhuang's submission. It is indeed an unfathomable task. However, the Jumu God's mechanism was completely calculated and he was self-defeated. His intelligence was mistaken by intelligence." He sighed, as if he was quite regretful.

Queen Mother of the West said: "Brother, you are indifferent and outspoken. You may be more accurate in the current situation than me. Guess what will happen to the Great Wilderness at this time next year?"

Baidi said: "There are unexpected situations in heaven, let alone the wealth in the world? This is hard to guess." After pondering for a moment, he said: "When the God of Jumu died, the plan of the alliance between the water and fire clans and the Wood clans was mostly failed. Although the battle between Yuping Mountain, Prince Tuoba, Prince Consort and Chiyou Shaoxia saved the elder of the Wood clan's noble clan, with the proud temperament of Emperor Qing, I am afraid that I would not join forces with them. In my opinion, the Wood clan is very likely to be neutral and protect itself."

Xianxian's heart thumped. The day before yesterday, she heard from Xin Jiugu that Tuobaye and Chiyou were disturbing the Hundred Flowers Conference of the Wood Clan. Together with Ji Yuanxuan, she defeated the plot of the Ghost Country's corpse soldiers attacking Yuping Mountain. However, due to her reserve, she deliberately pretended to be indifferent and did not ask much. At this moment, she heard Baidi mention it and immediately listened.

Queen Mother of the West smiled and said, "Brother sees Qing Emperor very well. Last night, news came from the Eastern Wilderness that Ling Weiyang really delayed the battle of Guzhaofeng to three years later on the grounds that the clan was mourning for Fairy Kongsang and should not use rash weapons. Within these three years, the Wood Clan is afraid that it will not participate in any war."

Xianxian was shocked, and she didn't expect that Fairy Kongsang was dead. Although she had only been with her for one night, she gave her a snow feather hairpin, which made her feel quite intimate. When she first returned to the Great Wilderness, she was mistaken for Kongsang's reincarnation and was involved in the storm of the Glazed Holy Fire Cup. She had already had a strange feeling for the former saint of the Wood Clan. At this moment, she was shocked and sad when she heard the bad news, and tears couldn't help but burst into tears.
