"It should be isolated by some kind of barrier, and the Sound Transmission Jade cannot communicate normally." Mu'er said.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, this situation was relatively good.
As long as the message is not transmitted through the jade channel, but no one responds, there is a high probability that there will be no fear of life.
"It seems that we are going to Kunshan." Ling Xiao said.
Mu'er nodded and did not object.
"Well, I didn't make any announcement about this matter, just to let you go alone after you leave the customs. The Chamber of Commerce is at a critical period of development at this time, and I can't withdraw. Xiaoqing and Brother Qin will be stationed in Magnolia City and Fenggu City in the future.
I can’t go with you either.”
Ling Xiao nodded, he had no objection to Mu'er's arrangement.
Just now...
"I didn't say anything just now because I was afraid that Momo would worry?" Ling Xiao asked sideways.
Mu'er nodded slowly, "Momo has a simple mind. If she knew about it, she would definitely go with you. This kind of thing will be more dangerous if there are more people."
"You go by yourself and come back after you find Linlang. We can discuss the matter of Jin Hua in the long term. After all, there is still the captain in Weishui City who can use it."
Ling Xiao sighed softly and caressed the side of Mu'er's face.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Ling Xiao's tone was soft, and his eyes were even gentler.
Mu'er snorted softly and turned around gracefully, with a hint of cunning in her starry eyes.
"What does it matter? As long as you don't mind me sleeping with Momo!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand casually.
"Harm, what's the point? We just sleep together..."
"What did you say?!"
"Li Mu'er, you, you... you haven't slept with me since we came here, and you actually want to..."
"Do you have ulterior motives? I'm warning you, don't mess around..."
"Momo is very innocent. She is still a baby. I can't bear to touch her!"
"You~!@#￥%..."
"Don't run away, tell me clearly!"
…
Shenzhuan Empire, western border.
A black light dragged a long star tail across the gray sky.
Ling Xiao walked without sleep for seven days and finally saw the outline of Kunshan.
It is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, with a hazy cold mist spreading all around. Although it is early spring, there is still white snow flying here.
Looking down, it is only thirty miles away from Kunshan, and below is the only city within a hundred feet.
Ling Xiao took out the sound transmission jade from his arms and injected spiritual power into it, but he still couldn't get in touch with Mu Linlang.
Ling Xiao sighed softly, leaned down and jumped down.
Since Mu Linlang came with Jin Hua, based on their appearance, there might be clues about the two of them in this city.
After much thought, Ling Xiao decided to go to the city to investigate.
After all, the Kunshan Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and it is not easy to find people among them.
Walking into Kunxue City, Ling Xiao felt refreshed.
There is snow and wind all year round here, and the climate is extremely cold.
But at this time, every house in the town was decorated with lights.
The whole street was hung with red silk, and the vendors on the street were busy selling and shouting.
Many children, dressed in cotton-padded clothes and holding small red lanterns in their hands, chased and played in the thick snow.
"It's really strange."
Ling Xiao frowned and whispered to himself.
In the Tiancang Empire, he had never been to cities with severe cold climates.
Beiyu City is located in the far north!
The scene there is completely different from here.
Logically speaking, the regional climate is severely cold and civilian life is difficult.
The permanent population of towns is naturally not too large.
Can
Ding dong!
A small red lantern rolled down to Ling Xiao's feet, interrupting his thoughts.
Not far ahead, I saw a child in cotton-padded clothes with rosy cheeks staring at Ling Xiao with a timid expression.
When the elder on the child's side saw it, he hurriedly took the child's hand with a look of horror on his face.
In the severe cold, they civilians naturally wear cotton-padded clothes.
But Ling Xiao was wearing a thin black python robe, and he didn't feel cold at all. His whole body had an aura of indignity and anger. At first glance, he looked like a high-level cultivator!
For commoners like them, practitioners are superior to others and cannot be offended.
The elder was about to step forward when he saw Ling Xiao squat down, pick up the red lantern at his feet, and hand it to the child with a smile on his face.
"Thank you soon, sir!"
The elder shook the child's arm and smiled on one side.
The child opened his dark eyes and tightened the lantern in his hand.
"Thank you, sir!"
Ling Xiao didn't say anything, stroked the child's head and walked away quietly.
Looking at Ling Xiao's retreating figure, the elder breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiao frowned and thought deeply.
He had just seen that on the lantern in the child's hand, there was a painting of a woman flying into the sky wearing colorful ribbons.
Although the portrait was blurry and rough, Ling Xiao still cared a little.
Along the way, he looked sideways and noticed that the lanterns in the hands of all the children had that woman painted on them.
Arriving at a store, the waiter immediately noticed Ling Xiao's extraordinary character and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him flatteringly.
"Xiaoer, why is your Kunxue City so lively?" Ling Xiao asked sideways.
The waiter smiled. "Sir, is this your first time coming to our place?"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"Sir, you don't know something. Our Kunxue City is named after Kunshan. Thousands of years ago, Kunshan once lit up seven-color strange lights at night. Some people even saw a fairy in this strange light!"
The waiter described it vividly.
"Fairy?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Yes! Fairy! That must be a fairy! Even though they are separated in mid-air and thirty miles away, it still makes people feel dreamy."
"After that night, everyone who saw the strange light was in a state of confusion, and many people even went to Kunshan to look for it, just to catch a glimpse of the fairy's true face," the waiter said.
"Then what?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Kunshan is not easy to get around, not to mention that the seven-color light comes from the highest peak. Naturally, many people never return, and most of those who come back are stupid and sick."
Maybe he noticed that Ling Xiao didn't believe it and the chuckle on his lips.
The waiter paused and continued to speak.
"Objectively, you don't know that the highest mountain in Kunshan can reach tens of thousands of feet, and it is covered with snow all year round. It is a high-risk area for disasters, but there has never been a disaster since ancient times." The waiter said.
Ling Xiao suddenly realized.
"So some people concluded that it was the Kunshan Fairy who was guarding here, so there was no disaster?"
The waiter nodded.
"Since then, every year at the turn of the Waking of Insects and the Spring Equinox, we in Kunxue City will decorate with lights and organize sacrifices to thank the Kunshan Fairies for their protection."
Ling Xiao pursed his lips. He just listened to such clichéd folk tales with amusement.
However, it can be seen that there must be a secret in Kunshan.
And it’s on the highest Mount Everest!
"Thank you!"
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he placed ten water stones on the counter and turned around to leave.
Seeing Ling Xiao's generous move, the waiter hesitated for a moment and chased after him.
"To be objective, you want to go hiking in the middle of the night?" the waiter asked.
"Yes, we have a plan." Ling Xiao nodded.
"Be objective, absolutely impossible!"
The waiter looked panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, "Kunshan is already rugged, covered with deep snow all year round, and there are collapsed ice caves. There are many spiritual beasts lurking in the mountains, and many practitioners will be unable to escape if they step in."
Come back!"
"Once, the empire sent three emperors and a hundred-man team, but none of them returned!"
“In addition, Kunshan’s view is blocked at night and the cold is approaching, making it even more dangerous!”
"The most important thing is..."
Seeing that the waiter was hesitant to speak, Ling Xiao took out a few water stones from his pocket and stuffed them into his hands.
The waiter leaned forward and whispered into Ling Xiao's ear.
"At night, there are unclean things in the mountains!"
