The shopkeeper couldn't answer the question Mo Long asked for a while. He Xingtian and Yun Zhongting stared at the shopkeeper silently, waiting for his answer.
"Yun Zhongting, do you remember that we felt very cold when we were repairing the tomb?" He Xingtian asked.
"Yes! But, I thought it was caused by the snow, so I didn't think much about it," Yun Zhongting answered.
"No! The river we are fishing in is only a hundred miles away from here, and the weather shouldn't change so much. In short, there is something evil here. We should visit the old man again to clarify this problem."
He Xingtian said. "Besides, when we repaired the tomb, the old man didn't show his face. He should have thanked him in person." After saying that, he looked back at the shopkeeper, who nodded quickly.
The shopkeeper said: "It's almost lunch time now, why don't you three go to the cemetery after lunch."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to go, so the three of them followed yesterday's footprints. At this time, the sun was still very strong. Although it was a bit dazzling, the warmth was no longer felt, and the ground was still white as snow.
Not long after passing the big tree, as I walked, the footprints on the ground disappeared. The distant marks that He Xingtian tried hard to remember yesterday were also gone today. I don’t know if it’s snowing again or something else.
The reason, anyway, is that they couldn't find their way to the cemetery.
Mo Long said to He Xingtian: "How many times have you been there? Quickly look at the road! See where we should go?"
He Xingtian looked at the way he came, and then looked around, but he couldn't find the way he should take.
Yun Zhongting said: "I can't find the way. This is not a simple problem. It should be the result of something unknown. You can think about it. Those heroic spirits have been resting for nearly three thousand years. Although, we helped
But this is simply insignificant. We really shouldn’t disturb their purity anymore.”
Molong said: "It seems that what you said makes sense. Isn't it too abrupt for us to do this? After all, we are two worlds. If the road disappears, does it have anything to do with them?"
Seeing what they said, He Xingtian lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "If the road has changed and disappeared because of them, then it means that they don't welcome us. But what if it snowed here again last night! That's not the case.
That’s what they meant!”
"That's what God meant!" Yun Zhongting said.
He Xingtian was a little anxious, "Then you tell me, what should we do?" He said, looking at them. "I have no choice!"
Just when the three people were hesitating, suddenly, a big bird flew from the sky, screamed at them a few times, and then flew straight north.
He Xingtian looked like he suddenly understood, "Oh! Let's just follow the direction of that big bird! It seems that it was sent by God to guide us."
"It's all nonsense!" Yun Zhong heard that, while Mo Long shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from the north. The three people looked along the sound and saw two fast horses galloping towards them. The snowflakes kicked up by the horses' hoofs were like a silver ribbon dancing in the wind in the sun.
The three people subconsciously ducked back. Who would have thought that the two fast horses stopped immediately in front of them.
He Xingtian took a closer look and saw that it was the old man who had tea with him that day and the girl who was hiding behind the screen. The two of them got off their horses and saluted. The three of them immediately returned the salute.
"Sir, where are you going? We are passing by and can point you in the direction!" said the old man.
"No, no!" Mo Long said quickly.
Yun Zhongting said: "We are just having nothing to do and wandering around!"
All three of them wanted to cover up the embarrassment of being lost.
The old man laughed and said, "You three don't have to hide it. It's not funny to get lost. If you don't tell the truth, it's your fault!" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Mo Long looked at Yun Zhongting, and Yun Zhongting looked at He Xingtian, and all three of them laughed.
The old man knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Thank you three for your kindness, I will never forget it!" The girl behind him also knelt down.
He Xingtian and Yun Zhongting quickly helped him up.
The girl used branches to clear an open space, took a charcoal stove from the horse's back, and lit a fire. She also took a blanket and a few bottles of wine from the horse's back, and the five of them sat on the ground, scalding the wine and drinking freely.
The old man said very guiltily: "My lord, Liu Juntong, everyone has called me this for three thousand years. I am used to it and have forgotten my real name! Today, I forgive you for not inviting some of my benefactors to come to the house to talk about it."
Thank you. The three of you have repaired our home. On behalf of my five hundred soldiers, I would like to thank you!" After saying that, he kowtowed again.
"Where are you three going today?" Liu Juntong asked, "I think you three are indeed lost."
Mo Long was a straight-tempered man and couldn't hold back his words for a long time. "We want to go to you and ask you something we don't understand!" As he said that, he also looked at He Xingtian and Yun Zhongting. "We are lost. It just so happens that we are lost."
A big bird flew over, and we were just about to go in the direction where the big bird flew, and you came over on horseback!"
He Xingtian and Yun Zhong listened and nodded.
Liu Juntong smiled and said quickly: "If you have any questions, just ask! Aren't I right in front of the three of you?"
He Xingtian asked: "Let's talk about the weather here first! There is a big river a hundred miles away. You know it, right?"
Liu Juntong replied: "Yes! What's wrong?"
"We were fishing in the river, but hundreds of miles away here, it's snowing heavily. What's going on?" Mo Long asked, "I don't think it's just the weather!" Mo Long asked.
His eyes were full of doubts.
"Then what do you think the reason is?" Liu Juntong asked back, and Mo Long smiled helplessly.
"Also, do you know that there is a virgin forest on the other side of the river?" He Xingtian asked.
Hearing this, Liu Juntong's face became a little ugly. He took a long breath and looked at the little girl behind him.
"It seems that you three have encountered quite a lot of problems, right?" Liu Juntong picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
Mo Long couldn't hold back his anger again, "Oh! Say it quickly! It's so slow and uncomfortable!"
"Did you three see something you shouldn't have seen in the primeval forest?" As he said this, there was a look of fear on his face.
Molong said: "What are you talking about? We will ask you about the weather first, and you can answer the weather question first!"
