Xiao Fan was a little surprised to see Ye Qingxue here. He put Li Yalan on the ground. Old Li Tou quickly stepped forward and helped his granddaughter sit down on the chair.
"How are you, Xiaolan? Are you seriously injured?" Old Li Tou asked quickly.
Li Yalan looked at Xiao Fan: "It's nothing serious. Fortunately, my brother arrived in time to save me."
Lao Li nodded, turned to Xiao Fan and thanked him: "Thank you, young man."
Xiao Fan shook his head and said it was nothing.
He glanced at Li Yalan and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."
After speaking, he said to Ye Qingxue over there: "Qingxue, let's go."
Ye Qingxue stood up and followed Xiao Fan out.
When he came outside, Xiao Fan said: "I didn't mean to hug her just now. I just picked her back because her foot was injured and she couldn't walk."
Ye Qingxue: "Why do you have to explain to me?"
Xiao Fan looked at her and saw that she really didn't care, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
At this moment, Old Li Tou's voice suddenly came from behind: "Young man, wait a moment."
Xiao Fan turned around and saw Lao Litou walking out of their house.
When he came to Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan was a little confused: "What's wrong, old man?"
Old Li Tou looked at him: "Don't you always want to know about the Snow Palace?"
Xiao Fan was surprised, was he willing to tell him?
"Let's go inside and talk," the old man said.
Then Xiao Fan and Ye Qingxue followed the old man back to their home.
Arriving at home, the old man made two cups of tea for Xiao Fan and Ye Qingxue.
The old man looked at the tea cup in front of him and sighed: "Originally, I promised them not to tell anyone about this, but..."
As he said that, he turned to look at Li Yalan who was aside. His eyes were a little complicated: "You saved my granddaughter. I owe you a big favor. Since you want to know, I will tell you."
Xiao Fan looked at him without saying anything.
The old man recalled: "Many years ago, I accidentally entered the Holy Snow Peak. I originally wanted to hunt game and go home that day, but unexpectedly I met an injured girl in the mountain. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She was injured at the time and almost hurt by some wild animals, so I rescued her."
"Later, in order to thank me, she gave me a jade pendant and said that I could go in and out of several snow-capped mountains near our village at will in the future. I didn't care at the time. Later, people in the village entered the snow-capped mountains and disappeared one after another, and I learned that our village was nearby.
These snow-capped mountains are not ordinary mountains."
Having said this, the old man took off a jade pendant from his neck. The rope was already a little yellowed, but the jade pendant was still as shiny as new and did not look old at all.
The old man stroked the jade pendant: "For so many years, the reason why I have been able to go in and out of the snow-capped mountains safely is because of this jade pendant."
Xiao Fan looked at the jade pendant with some curiosity. What kind of jade pendant could be so magical?
The old man looked at the jade pendant: "It has been with me for many years, and now I give it to you."
With that said, he handed the jade pendant to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan was surprised. He didn't expect that the old man would give him such an important thing.
He didn't know for a moment whether he should take it or not. After all, it was something that others regarded as a treasure.
Seeing his hesitation, the old man directly put the jade pendant into his hand: "Take it, without this thing you can't enter the mountain at all, you can't find the Snow Palace, let alone save your little girlfriend.
"
Xiao Fan looked at the jade pendant in his hand. Both sides of the jade pendant were carved with exquisite patterns, but he couldn't tell what the specific patterns were. It looked like a phoenix but not a phoenix, or a dragon but not a dragon.
He raised his head and asked: "Old man, which snow mountain is this snow palace located in?"
The old man looked at him: "You can enter from any snow mountain."
Xiao Fan was stunned: "But I see that several snow mountains are not connected."
The old man shook his head: "There is only one real snow-capped mountain. You can only see it when you go in. The snow-capped mountains outside are just illusions seen by the world."
Xiao Fan was surprised: "That means the snowy mountains outside are just a few different entrances, right?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, without the guidance of the jade pendant, you will only get lost after entering the snow mountain, and you will never find the real snow palace."
Xiao Fan suddenly realized that he did not expect that the place where the Snow Palace was located was so mysterious.
The old man looked at him: "The jade pendant will guide you after you enter the mountain. You only need to follow the jade pendant's guidance. Remember, don't be reckless and rude when you meet the people in the Snow Palace. They all have extraordinary abilities.
We can’t afford to offend.”
Xiao Fan: "Okay, thank you for your advice."
Later in the evening, Xiao Fan and Ye Qingxue said goodbye to the old man.
The next morning, Xiao Fan took Ye Qingxue into the snow mountain.
When they first entered the snow-capped mountains, they all felt that they were not much different from ordinary snow-capped mountains, except that they were a little colder.
However, Xiao Fan and Ye Qingxue had already put on thick warm clothes, so the cold was nothing to them.
The two of them walked along the road into the mountain. After walking for almost an hour, they came to a three-way intersection.
Looking at this fork in the road, Ye Qingxue asked: "Which way should we go?"
Xiao Fan didn't know which way to go, after all, it was his first time here.
At this moment, the jade pendant on his chest suddenly floated in the air, and the direction pointed by the jade pendant was exactly the leftmost road.
The two of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect that this jade pendant would actually guide them.
"Go this way." Xiao Fan then led Ye Qingxue down the leftmost road.
But the further down they went, the more they felt that something was not right, because the road was almost completely covered with weeds, and the road was almost invisible.
Ye Qingxue asked: "Are we going the wrong way? There is almost no road ahead."
Xiao Fan looked at the jade pendant on his chest: "Probably not. It's just that this road may not have been used for many years, so it became deserted."
Ye Qingxue didn't say anything more when he saw this.
The two of them continued walking along this deserted path for almost an hour. Suddenly they saw a bright place in front of them, and they suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"It should be right in front, let's go." Xiao Fan led Ye Qingxue and walked over.
Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the trail and arrived at the bright place.
However, the two of them were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
At this time, they were actually on the edge of a cliff. The so-called light was just because there was no road ahead.
Xiao Fan looked at the dead end road in front of him. He was a little confused. How could he go on this way?
