To everyone's surprise, before Lu Xiao finished speaking, a maid in yellow appeared out of thin air, looked at everyone with a sweet smile, and greeted them competently and enthusiastically: "The leader of my family has already guessed that some of them are coming.
So I have been specially arranged to greet you here. Everyone, please go this way!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a grand door suddenly appeared on the cliff beside him, and it slowly opened. Lu Xiao nodded slightly and led everyone in. The door then slammed shut, and disappeared in an instant.
No trace.
Meng Zirou looked around the dark surroundings. It seemed to be a long tunnel, and water kept dripping on the stone paved path, making a crisp sound. The surroundings were very quiet, except for the footsteps of a few people.
A hint of movement.
"My maid, Jin Ling'er, is the personal maid of the great leader of my family! If the Great Protector and you all don't mind, just call me Ling'er!" Jin Ling'er held a huge luminous pearl and introduced herself with a sweet smile as she walked.
, his well-behaved and clever appearance is very endearing. "Very few people from the Wuxi tribe enter, and a few of them are considered rare guests! Our leader has already arranged for people to prepare a banquet, and we are just waiting to greet you!"
"How did your big leader know that we are coming?" Meng Zirou asked suddenly, but it did not affect Jin Ling'er's demeanor at all. She still replied happily: "My big leader has great supernatural powers, so he naturally has a way to know. As for how.
If you know, how can you tell us servants?"
Meng Zirou knew that it was impossible to get any information out of this clever and experienced maid, so she simply stopped answering and walked forward in silence.
After passing through the dark and long tunnel, Jin Ling'er led everyone to a stone wall. He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on a raised rock. The stone wall immediately trembled. Following a loud bang, a dazzling light pillar suddenly appeared.
appeared in front of their eyes, getting thicker and brighter, and finally turned into a bright light. Everyone subconsciously covered their eyes, and when they fully adapted to the light in front of them, they realized that they had arrived at a place wrapped in silver.
world.
The group of people followed Jin Ling'er as they walked through the territory of the Wuxi Clan, as if they were in a fairy tale kingdom. Almost everything here is made of ice and snow, including houses, streets, statues, and even the "trees" decorated along the roadside.
They all exude crystal clear light, because they are all carved from a single piece of ice. Large tracts of leaves are all condensed from snowflakes. The breeze blows and they fall silently to the ground one by one. It’s really a bit strange.
The smell of "white snow is too late for spring, so flowers fly through the trees in the garden".
A cold street leads directly to Tianlai Palace, with almost no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, people pass by, dressed in elegant clothes, walking alone, without making a sound. In this world of ice and snow, the only bit of vitality may be standing in front of the palace facing the wind
A few winter plum blossoms. On the bare brown branches, a few pure white plum blossoms bloomed proudly. Although they are holy and solemn, they are also so cold and suffocating.
"No wonder that guy from Xingyun always looks cold and cold. Saying a word is more uncomfortable than killing him! If I had been allowed to stay in such a ghost place for thousands of years, I would have been petrified long ago!" Yazhen said to himself
He muttered to himself, obviously not liking the chilly and cold atmosphere here.
Several people quickly arrived in front of the temple. Jin Ling'er waved his hand, pointed to the open door respectfully and said, "Everyone, please come in. The leader of my family has been waiting inside for a long time!"
Lu Xiao nodded slightly as a thank you, and took Xiaoxiang to walk in first. Chi Lian looked angrily at Xiaoxiang, who had been clinging to Lu Xiao's side, and then secretly looked at the expressionless Meng Zirou, opened his mouth, and thought
I wanted to comfort her a few times, but I didn't know how to speak, so in the end I could only stay by her side silently, never leaving her. I secretly swore in my heart that no matter who it was, who destroyed the young master's happiness would be his biggest enemy.
The scene inside and outside Tianlai Palace is absolutely different. It's freezing outside, but spring is blooming inside. There are warm pink colors everywhere, curtains, gauze, and even the maid's dress. A scarlet coral blanket comes from
The entrance is paved along the corridor to the steps, and there are long rows of desks on both sides, filled with all kinds of exquisite food.
On both sides, there are countless beauties, smiling and playing various musical instruments. The pink-carved figures are all dressed in light pink clothes, revealing their graceful necks. Their faces are lightly painted with powder, or their eyes are
The eyes are slightly closed, or the eyes are shining brightly. There are no complicated hair accessories, and the black silk hair is only tied up with a hair tie and hangs down on the back of the head, leaving only a strand of black hair playfully brushing on the chest. The pleats of the skirt are like the brilliance of the snow and the moon.
Flowing and flowing to the ground. The green onion-like jade fingers played with different musical instruments. The sound of the piano echoed around the beams, the sound of the flute was clear, the pipa clanked, and the chime and fou whistled ------
The various sounds are mixed together, but they are not messy at all, just like the flowing water in the mountains, with a gurgling charm, light but resolute, trickling in, but it makes people feel that they are natural and complement each other.
What surprised Meng Zirou was that among these fairy fruits and nectar, there were actually two dishes that are only available in the world - Mapo tofu and transparent shrimp dumplings. The tender white tofu cubes stood in a neat "line" on the plate,
Wearing "clothes" made of bright red hot sauce, it looks fiery red, like a blazing red flame, mixed with some minced meat that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with green onions scattered on it.
On the plate, like pieces of green leaves, the diced tofu dipped in hot sauce turned into blooming red flowers, which looked particularly eye-catching against the green leaves.
The shrimp dumplings are even more attractive. The dumpling wrapper is made of fine rice flour, which is smooth and transparent. You can see the red shrimps and green vegetables inside. It looks very beautiful. The clear soup is filled with steam.
The fragrance exudes makes people salivate. This place does not seem like an indifferent people, it is clearly a warm and peaceful paradise on earth.
Lu Xiao seemed to be very familiar with everything in front of him. He looked at a peerless beauty sitting at the main table with a smile on his face, and joked casually: "Yao Qin, you are still so virtuous! It's all passed.
It's been hundreds of years, but I still remember these two dishes that I love the most in the world! If I had known this, even if I beat Jinse to a bloody head, I still wanted to snatch you away! By the way, why don't you see Jinse?
Is he still in retreat?"
Yao Qin's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal. She waved her hand freely, pointed to the seats on both sides, and said elegantly: "The Great Protector is joking! Please sit down, everyone, and let's chat while we eat!" The voice was ethereal and soft,
Like new rain on an empty mountain, it makes people feel refreshed and refreshed for a while.
Only then did Meng Zirou take a closer look at the beauty on the throne. Although the delicate face had long lost the youth and vigor of a girl, the maturity and elegance that had gone through the storm were the greatest charm of a woman. The moonlight palace dress was tailored
They fit perfectly together, and the exquisite figure of Yao Qin is outlined in an extremely moving way. The black temples are curled up high, and are firmly fixed on the top of the head by a crown carved from crystal, which is neat and noble yet luxurious and beautiful. Exquisite
On her melon-shaped face, a pair of eyes that see everything are as bright as stars. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and she always wears a polite smile, making it impossible to tell what she is thinking.
Yao Qin's slightly unfamiliar words made Lu Xiao stunned for a while. He was about to ask Meng Zirou to sit with him, but found that she had already walked to the opposite side accompanied by Chi Lian, so he pulled Xiaoxiang angrily to the other side.
Sit down and stop talking.
When everyone sat down one by one, the music stopped suddenly. The maids quickly helped them fill up the wine. Yao Qin elegantly picked up the cup, cupped it in her hand, and generously invited: "Everyone who has come from afar, no matter where you are,
Why do you want to drink this cup first? Yao Qin will take the lead for you!" After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. The other people secretly praised him and followed suit, draining the wine in one gulp.
Yao Qin glanced at everyone with satisfaction, and nodded to Jin Ling'er, who was standing quietly next to her. The latter immediately understood and shouted the order: "Play the music!" Suddenly the drums and music sounded, and a group of graceful women descended from the sky, twisting and turning.
The soft and boneless waist performed a charming dance. Yao Qin frequently raised his glass and toasted to the people around him, and the temple was filled with excitement for a while.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of the dishes were over. Lu Xiao put down his wine glass, looked at Yao Qin who was already slightly drunk, and said gracefully: "Yao Qin, we are here this time because there is something we want to ask you.
one time."
"Oh, tell me!" Yao Qin half-closed her eyes, gently shaking the amber cup in her hand, and asked drunkenly.
——"I want to know, is Juyou, the leader of the Zhi tribe, imprisoned in the Wuxi tribe?"
--"good!"
Yao Qinyan's concise answer shocked everyone. No one thought that she would admit it so happily. But since she did so, it meant that she had a deeper purpose. Lu Xiao smiled and looked at the drunk woman.
, continued to ask: "Then what do you want to do to let him go?"
Yao Qin suddenly laughed, her mature and charming big eyes looking straight at Lu Xiao's charming smile, with a mysterious look on her face------
