"Snow Country?" Xuan Yan was a little confused. She had never heard of this Snow Country, so she was curious and had no intention of leaving immediately.
"Is the army of the Snow Country approaching the border?" Mo Yuan frowned and asked in confusion.
Just when Mo Yuan's words were spoken, some snowflakes suddenly fell outside.
The snowflakes are like cotton wool, falling lightly on the ground. It looks extremely weird. The snowflakes are getting thicker and thicker, and they are getting darker and darker.
"It's snowing...!" The vendors suddenly shouted outside. I don't know who shouted first, followed by many vendors hurriedly packing up their stalls, and the sound of rushing around could be heard.
"Is it snowing?" Mo Yuan said in a daze. When he said this, Mo Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Xuan Yan with joy: "Girl, didn't you just ask that boy in the white shirt? I
I remember it. Just two months ago, a young man in a white shirt stayed in my store for about six days."
"Really? Then do you know the name of that boy?" Xuan Yan was filled with surprise when she heard this.
"The young man is also wearing a white shirt like you. Even the cedar tree pattern on your clothes is exactly the same. He said he seems to be called Lin Mu." Chi Qi, who was standing aside, continued.
"Lin Mu?"
"We brothers are not very sure about this. It seems to be heading towards Dawan City." Mo Yuan and the other two shook their heads and said.
"I understand, thank you two brothers." Xuan Yan hugged Mo Yuan and Mo Yuan, turned around and walked out of the inn.
"Little girl, it's snowing so heavily, why don't you stay in the inn for one night before leaving?" Mo Yuan ran out and shouted.
Where can you see Xuan Yan's figure on the long street? The empty long street is only a silent white.
"Like those forest trees, they are not afraid of the cold." Chi Qi sighed.

The capital of the Kingdom of Wo, the city of Rome.
There is a remote manor in the east of the city. The manor is not very big, only three or four hectares. The manor looks white. On the snow, there are several small snowmen standing upright. There are two kinds of trees on both sides of the walkway in the manor.
A lush Christmas tree, the branches and leaves of the Christmas tree were hanging down under the weight of thick snow.
There is a small building in the manor. This building is a Western-style building, surrounded by thick stone walls. Only some small windows are left, and you can see the faint light coming from the windows.
The owner of the manor is an oriental, a young man from the Tang Dynasty. Young people like to wear white, and they prefer to stay on the walkway and watch the wind and snow. Take a look at the pure whiteness of the world.
He likes this kind of life and enjoys it very much. This is the forest that came down from Kunlun Mountain. He has been here for a month and a half. After a month and a half of ordinary life, he has got along very well with the people here, and even he
He also brought ceramics unique to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to so many people.
He purchased this manor with the gold coins he got from selling ceramics. He followed the example of his grandfather and came to a foreign land, enjoying the foreign customs, waiting for the passage of time, and waiting for his heartache to be slowly healed by time.
Perhaps, he never wants to return to the Tang Dynasty. If he sees Xuan Yan, he will be sad. If he returns to the Tang Dynasty, his heart may never be able to calm down. Since he cannot meditate, how can he practice Taoism?
However, today is New Year's Eve. He looked at the full moon outside the window, dazed, and murmured to himself: "Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is New Year. I, Xuanmu, have no parents or any family members. Only you, old man, raised me."
Grow up. Now, I’m here to accompany you.”
He couldn't help but touch the string of Buddhist beads on his left hand, his eyes trembling slightly.
The only servant in the manor is Mox. Mox is only ten years old this year. Ten-year-old Mox was shivering in the cold on the long street. When he was begging, Xuanmu saw him and thought of him.
When I was a young boy, I felt pity for him and took him to the manor as a servant.
"Master, it's time for us to have dinner. It's Christmas tonight, so the food is quite sumptuous, and I heard that Santa Claus will secretly give us gifts at night." Mox stood outside the door with his hands lowered respectfully, smiling innocently.
said.
In the country of He, New Year's Eve is not called New Year's Eve, but Christmas, but the meaning is the same. After today, it means that a year has passed.
Xuanmu nodded, walked towards the door, and asked: "How is your martial arts training going?"
"Master, I can break a piece of wood."
Hearing this, Xuanmu showed admiration and said with a smile: "Boy, that's good. In a few days, I will help you open up your spiritual veins and see if you can practice your mind."
"My master often mentions the word cultivation, but what exactly is it?"
"Cultivation, cultivation means cultivating one's body and soul, refining one's energy and returning to one's original state."
"Cultivation of one's moral character, refining one's qi and returning to one's origin?" Mox scratched his head in confusion, but still didn't understand what it meant.
"Okay, let's eat." The two of them arrived at the restaurant without saying a word. Xuanmu said and sat down first.
"Yes, Master." Mox sat politely opposite Xuanmu and first gave Xuanmu a piece of beef with some sauce poured on it. "Master, try this steak I made.
"
Xuanmu took a bite and frowned.
"Master, what's wrong? You don't like eating?" Mokesi's heart tightened. Seeing Xuanmu's very ugly expression, worry appeared on his face.
"Xiao Mo, from now on, don't do this with beef. I'll teach you how to cook it. This beef is a waste of money according to your method. What's in it? It's all raw, can it be eaten?" Xuan Mu
He curled his lips and said calmly.
"It's the master. From now on, you will follow the master's instructions."
……………………
Three days passed, and today Xuanmu was sitting cross-legged on the snow in front of the door, meditating.
Suddenly, a group of five riders stopped in front of Xuanmu's manor. Xuanmu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at it lightly, and still sat down cross-legged, minding his own business.
"Dong dong, dong dong..." The five people were knocking on the large iron fence of the manor.
Mox was busy in the room when he suddenly heard a sound and hurriedly walked out to take a look. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. After taking a look, his face immediately changed. His face turned livid and turned into
With a panicked look on his face, he walked towards the big iron fence in a hurry.
Due to the nervousness in his heart, or because he was walking too fast, he staggered and fell to the ground. He got up in a panic, trembling and wanted to say something, but still did not say anything.
