The three of them saw the figure in front of them at a glance, but they were still calm. They all fell silent and looked at the figure in silence.
There is something strange about that figure.
Judging from the figure, the person who came here does not look like a Taoist priest, let alone Xiaolan.
Not even a person.
Who could it be?
The figure came closer, and the three of them heard the man's slight breathing.
The man stood still and obviously saw them.
Panting, breathing lightly.
The sound of clothing rubbing together.
Wen Ling squinted her eyes. She actually saw clearly, but she was still a little confused.
Who is this person...?
"Ah...it's you..." Finally, the man spoke, "You...you are my sister's friends..."
sister……
The word "sister" triggered the keyword of Wen Ling. Wen Ling's right eyebrow twitched and his mouth opened wide.
"Xia Ni!"
Upon hearing Wen Ling's words, Bao Mu and Fool both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
No wonder this face looks so familiar, it turns out to be Xia Ni.
However, the last time I saw him, he was still a little guy who just followed Xia Hua and giggled. After not seeing him for a few days, Xia Ni's eyes and expression... seemed to have completely changed.
In addition, Xia Ni was carrying another person on her thin shoulders.
Seeing that Xia Ni's legs were shaking a little, Fool and Bao Mu quickly stepped forward to hold his shoulders while looking behind him.
"This is..." The fool looked at it for a while and said, "This one looks familiar too. I remember he is from Sixia."
Xia Ni nodded silently and said in a hoarse voice, "It's Sister Long."
"I remembered," Baomu said, "She was the one who took care of Jasmine. I remember her smell, but she..."
Baomu glanced at Fool quietly. Fool tilted his head in confusion. Baomu shook his head with heavy eyes.
Wen Ling looked curiously at Auntie Long on Xia Ni's back, and her pupils suddenly trembled.
"She..." Wen Ling pointed at Auntie Long at a loss, "She..."
"You don't have to be like this, I know," Xia Ni understood what they meant and lowered her eyes and said softly, "Sister Long is gone."
Baomu was stunned for a moment. He helped Xia Ni put Auntie Long off her back and asked softly, "What happened?"
Xia Ni sighed, "It's a long story."
"It doesn't matter, let's talk slowly," the fool said, "Let's talk about this place first. Do you know where this place is?"
Xia Ni raised his head, and although his eyes were full of exhaustion, the clarity that once was still filled him uncontrollably, "Don't you know?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We don't know," said the fool, "that we were sent directly to this place by external forces."
Xia Ni said "Oh" exhausted, nodded, and said, "I don't know where this is, but I think...as long as we go forward, we should be able to find my sister."
Xia Ni raised his hand and pointed forward, and the three people followed him with their eyes. There was only thick fog in front of them and nothing could be seen.
"In that case, let's continue moving forward." Baomu said.
The fool only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine."
The four of them supported each other and walked deeper into the thick fog.

The difference between dreams and reality.
Xiaolan thought hard with her low cultural level, and finally gave what seemed to be the most concise and comprehensive answer.
"The difference is..." Xiaolan scratched her head, "Reality is real, but dreams are fake."
"Oh, do you think so too?" Yi Nian then asked, "Even you, would you think that your dream is false?"
"This is the third one..."
"This is a supplement to the second question," Yi Nian looked like he wanted to give Xiaolan a brain break, "You kid... you just answer whatever I ask."
Xiaolan pouted, "My dreams are no different, right?"
"But the things you dream about also exist in reality," Yi Nian asked, "Is this also false?"
"Although it exists, I can't change reality through dreams," Xiaolan said calmly, "And although the world in dreams is very real, I always feel... like a bystander."
"Oh? Bystander, that's an interesting statement." Yi Nian's eyes lit up, as if he heard what he wanted to hear, "Why do you feel this way?"
"That is to say, although the experiences in the dream are all my own, there is always a feeling of being unable to change." When Xiaolan said this, she was a little surprised, "But in reality, I
I feel powerful.”
"You can't change dreams, but you have the ability to change reality, right?" Yi Nian summarized Xiaolan's meaning, "Did you know? Most people feel exactly the opposite to you."
"Really?" Xiaolan actually didn't understand it very well, and she didn't really care what other people thought, "It's really amazing."
Yi Nian pursed his lips and smiled, then suddenly suppressed his smile, "How much do you know about the enemy you are facing now?"
Xiaolan frowned and thought hard for a long time, and finally answered frankly and stupidly, "I don't understand."
"Do you have some guesses about the strength of the enemy?" Yi Nian continued to induce, "I know you have some."
"We still have this," Xiaolan said with a pout, "It's very, very strong. It can be said that it's very, very, very, very strong..."
"It's just that the strength is far superior to yours, right?" Yi Nian gracefully interrupted Xiaolan's nonsense, "It seems that you really know what's going on."
"So you know who our enemy is, right?" Xiaolan tried to think the other way around, "Is it Qiao Moqin?"
"It doesn't matter who he is," Yi Nian said, "As your enemy, he is just a powerful symbol."
Xiaolan blinked, "I don't understand."
"It means that no matter whether he is Qiao Moqin or not, with the power he possesses, you can't defeat him." Yi Nian realized that the understanding ability of the girl in front of him was indeed limited, so he spoke directly, "Do you understand?"
Xiaolan felt like she had been hit hard, "I know, I know."
"So..." Yi Nian asked, "Do you know what you should do now?"
Xiaolan's patience was almost worn out, "Uncle, you really have a lot to add to this question."
"You talk a lot of nonsense," Yi Nian said bluntly, "Answer my question."
"What should we do? We can't give up even if we can't beat him," Xiaolan said calmly, "With all of our strength together... we can still have a chance to have a chance with him."
"Okay, here comes the last question," Yi Nian's tone became solemn, "What do you think your ability is?"
