The dim room was quiet and warm. In the fireplace made of large natural stones, the dancing flames cast light on the stone wall opposite, and the firewood occasionally made crackling sounds.
There is a crystal clear white crystal ball placed on the simple wooden platform, with a blue silk thread that is almost invisible to the naked eye hanging in the white crystal.
In the white crystal ball, silver light flickers from time to time, showing a bit of spirituality, like a living thing.
Suddenly there was a soft "pop!" sound, and the Bisi in the crystal ball broke without any warning.
Not far away, the candlelight was like a bean, and in the dim light, the old man in black robe who was immersed in reading ancient books on animal skins suddenly raised his head, and his bright eyes fell on the white crystal ball directly opposite.
His eyes rested on the crystal ball for a few breaths, and the old man lowered his eyes to the watch on the corner of the table.
The first moment of childhood.
The old man stood up slowly and walked towards the stone platform.
Just as he stood in front of the crystal ball, dull footsteps came from outside.
A tall, handsome-looking middle-aged man opened the thick black velvet curtain and stepped in.
Seeing the old man standing in front of the crystal ball, the man walked over, his eyes fell on the ball, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The old man bowed slowly and respectfully performed foreign etiquette: "In reply to the king's words, the stone that the king ordered to look at suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason."
The man's handsome eyebrows raised slightly: "Do you know where that thing went?"
The old man bowed his body, his already hunched back almost arched into a semicircle, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper. He shook his head gently: "I don't know."
The man looked serious and then asked: "What are you doing these days, young master?"
"The young master has been staying at the house recently and has not gone out."
After the old man finished speaking, his lips moved quickly and he recited a curse in a low voice that others could not understand.
The wrinkles on his lips looked like countless tiny insects as they moved rapidly.
As the old man recited the incantation, a silvery white light billowed out of the crystal ball like a storm. When the light dispersed, Qi Wuji's enlarged face appeared in the crystal ball.
Qi Wuji in the crystal ball was leaning lazily under the tree, dozing off little by little.
Seeing that Qi Wuji was staying at home peacefully, the man's serious expression softened a bit, and he sighed: "Since I can't find him, I'll give it up for now."
As he spoke, the man turned around and walked towards the desk with the candlestick on the opposite side.
He reached out and picked up the ancient book made of animal skins on the table, took a look at it, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready, follow me back to Qi Mansion in a few days..."
The old man didn't speak. He gently brushed the crystal ball with his hand that was as dry as a dry branch. The silver mist surged into the crystal ball again, and then it returned to calmness.
The old man asked slowly: "Wang went there in person this time, but to find the girl?"
————
His green-white fingertips clicked on the red mark on the map.
Everyone looked over and saw that the place where they were trapped was "Tianbei Island"
"Our next destination is Tianbei Island!"
After saying that, Yan Yan straightened up, looked around, and finally landed on Shen Yuyun, and smiled: "Master, are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you happy? Are you so excited that you plan to commit yourself to him?"
A group of gentlemen burst into hearty laughter in the temporary tent.
Shen Yuyun looked at Yan Yan with a complicated expression: "Don't always make jokes like this with me, what if I take it seriously one day and look at you!"
Yan Yan smiled and reached out to roll up the map on the table.
As soon as her fingers touched the map, a gust of wind suddenly blew up from the ground in the big tent, and even the map, tent, and wooden tables and benches were lifted to the sky.
At the same time, a furious beast roar sounded from beside Yanyan.
"Ouch..."
The space was almost distorted. Tonba suddenly rushed out with scarlet eyes. He passed by Yanyan and everyone like a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yan frowned and said, "Don't lose the map!" The man followed in the direction where Tonba disappeared.
Everyone in the caravan silently looked at the direction in which the man and the beast disappeared, and calmly picked up the things blown away by the strong wind one by one.
Niu Nenggan took off the water bag from Benben and took a big sip, and said with a smile: "The little guy raised by my boss is getting more and more disobedient. He runs around every day. My boss has a good temper. This is my demon pet.
Give him a good beating and keep him honest."
Hua Chang said with a smile: "Pull? Forget it, my boss's tonba treasure seems to be more painful than Bi Cheng's big disciple!"
Bi Cheng frowned: "Fuck you, master must love me the most!"
When a few people were talking and joking, the space rippled again, and Yan Yan appeared in front of everyone.
The Tonba she held in her arms became exhausted and shrank back to the size of a big cat.
Yan Yan's face looked a little bad, and without talking to anyone, she got into her car while holding the ton bus.
As soon as she got on the carriage, she entered the Sumeru realm.
As soon as Yan Yan appeared in the Sumeru Realm, Deng Wenming, Si Si and Lie Shan Ding all surrounded him.
Deng Wenming stretched out his hand to gently caress the weak and pitiful Tonba who was in Yanyan's arms, and frowned: "What's happened to Tonba recently? I've been going through this for several times."
Yanyan jumped up to the altar with Tonba in her arms, crossed her legs and sat down opposite Canghua, carefully placing Tonba's limp body in her arms.
While smoothing Tonba's hair, he looked at Canghua with a nervous look on his face: "Ever since I swallowed that bird last time, Tonba has been like this, and it never gets better over and over again. What's going on?"
Canghua raised his head from the book, glanced at the limp Tonba in Yanyan's arms, and said four words in a calm tone: "Indigestion."
Yanyan stared at Canghua, lowered his head and said nothing.
Canghua saw that Yanyan was silent and looked at her sideways.
Yan Yan was seen with her head lowered, her bangs hanging down from her forehead, softly covering her eyelashes, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, but her whole person looked rare and weak and helpless.
Gently putting down the book in his hand, Canghua explained in a low voice: "I didn't say that just to deal with you, it was the truth."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white and tender little hand quietly reached out to the tip of Tonba's nose.
The little hand also held a bunch of shiny candied haws.
Yanyan lowered his head, his serious expression warming up unconsciously when he saw his thumb and the candied haws in his hand.
Stretching out his hand and touching A Zhi's little head, Yan Yan said gently: "Tanba can't carry you to play today, it's sick."
Ah Zhi nodded: "I just heard from the emperor that Tonba has indigestion. My mother said that hawthorn can help digestion and regulate qi, so I gave it candied haws."
After saying that, Ah Zhi raised the candied haws in his hand high again: "This one is for Tonba, and here is another one for my sister."
Yan Yan reached out and took the candied haws in A Zhi's hand, smiled gently at it, and said thank you.
A Zhi turned his head and met Cang Hua's gaze.
Seeing Cang Hua's eyes falling on the candied haws in Yan Yan's hand, A Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "There are only two candied haws left. Grandpa Ding said that the emperor doesn't eat snacks."
