Chapter 381 Stay in Snow City
A tattered blanket, traveling across the vast sky.
You Su, Bai Ze and Master Oshu, the two of them and the cat, headed south, towards the Kongyuan Sacred Mountain that stood on the top of Bei Aozhou.
The cold wind cuts through the air like a knife, but due to the protection of Lord Oshu, it seems to be no longer so cold.
Along the way, Master Olympus gave full play to his proficiency in arithmetic, and would often test You Su and Bai Ze with some arithmetic problems that he thought were interesting but very logical.
You Su often dismissed those questions and was too lazy to participate. Although Bai Ze is very motivated to solve problems, he is limited by his small brain and cannot even understand the explanations of the Master of Mathematical Olympiad most of the time.
Venerable Olympus initially had a great ambition to let spiritual beasts and other intelligent beasts learn the knowledge of magic. The founding disciple started from Bai Ze! In this way, he can be regarded as the founder of spiritual beasts. He has accomplished something that his predecessors could not do in five thousand years, and his merits are immeasurable!
But no matter how patient he was, he finally gave up on the idea. He was already in good temper if he could resist digging out Bai Ze's head to see what it looked like. Therefore, the entertainment of arithmetic problems was abandoned during the rush, and it was enough for Bai Ze to just watch the addition and subtraction within ten and have fun.
Master Olympus then tirelessly introduced anecdotes, customs and customs about Bei Aozhou, which can attract people's interest in traveling to Suzhou.
In this vast world of ice and snow, every inch of land carries the unique customs and stories of Bei Aozhou, which silently tell the story of the tenacity and unyieldingness born on this land.
Before that, You Su thought that ice was ice, snow was snow, and the aurora was the aurora. But now I know that there are twelve types of ice in Bei Aozhou, and there is even a list of exotic ices recording some special ice crystals. The snow in Bei Aozhou is not only white, but in addition to colors, some people even see it. Passing the dark snow...
You Sule learned a little more about the world. Looking at the passing snow scene, his eyes were filled with pure white, and he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of this world.
Bei Aozhou, which was once just a cold area on the map in his eyes, has now become vivid and real. He saw the cedars standing upright in the cold wind. Although they were covered with ice and snow, they were still proud and unyielding. He saw the creatures trudging on the snow. Although they were in adversity, they still survived tenaciously. These scenes gave You Su a deeper understanding of Bei Aozhou, and also gave him more respect for the creatures on this land.
Bai Ze curled up in You Su's arms, sometimes looking at this strange world with You Su with his bright eyes. Although it was born in the snow-capped mountains, it has never left the once holy mountain. Now, as Yousu embarks on this journey together, it seems to feel an unprecedented novelty and excitement.
On the surface, it still has some problems with You Su, and is a naughty little doormat. But You Su was keenly aware that the little guy had obviously become closer to him after the two days he left. When sleeping at night, Bai Ze would subconsciously use his little paws to gently grasp the lapel of You Su's clothes, as if to express his cherishment and gratitude for this companionship.
The Master of Olympus is as carefree as ever, and his eyes are completely devoid of the transcendent indifference of those mountain top cultivators. Just looking at the image alone, there is no trace of the Master. But You Su could also feel from his words and deeds that his heart was full of love and admiration for this land. You Su even felt that Hua Taoist's passion for his homeland was better than his pursuit of the Tao in his heart.
This is a fool, You Su thought.
The four-day journey is just a snap of the fingers for the monks.
Finally, on a cloudy afternoon, the two of them and the cat arrived at Snow City, the city closest to Kongyuan Mountain in the north.
Snow City is not covered in white snow as its name suggests. As one of the first cities in North Aozhou, Xuecheng is naturally not that pristine. There is even a special department in the city whose job is to deal with the snow accumulated in the city.
The reason why Xuecheng is said to be one of the first cities in Bei Aozhou is because the first city in Bei Aozhou is actually composed of four cities. These four cities are named after wind, frost, rain, and snow respectively, and are located in the four directions of Kongyuan Holy Mountain. They have become the first hurdle to enter Kongyuan Holy Mountain.
The city wall of Snow City is made of huge ice blocks, crystal clear, like a castle in a fairy tale. At the city gate, two teams of guards in silver armor stood solemnly, holding spears, and their eyes revealed an inviolable majesty.
Olympic Master brought You Su down slowly, and the flying carpet touched the ground lightly, bringing up a light snowflake. Even Venerable Dongxu cannot directly fly to the Holy Mountain across the four cities of wind, frost, rain and snow. In other words, because of the special nature of Kongyuan Sacred Mountain, the large area of Kongyuan below is also included in the category of Sacred Mountain. Therefore, in order to ensure its safety, some tedious steps that should be taken when entering the Sacred Mountain have been moved to these four. outside the city.
"Even as a Venerable, it's not easy to use here."
Olympic Master chuckled, with a hint of joking. He grandly carried Bai Ze, who covered his little horns with a woolen hat, and walked to the city gate. The guards were as respectful to Lord Oshu as the guards of all the cities they had passed before, but they did not directly let him go. Only then did You Su understand that Oshu What did His Holiness mean by what he just said?
The verification process was not complicated. The guards simply verified the identity of Master Olympus. Then, after Venerable Oshu pressed his hand on a spherical jade stone, but there was no difference in the jade, Venerable Oshu was invited into the city. Even Bai Ze, who was like a pet cat, was forced to press his flesh claws on it.
You Su secretly lamented that in this land of ice and snow, the rules and order seemed to be stricter than anywhere else.
Now it is You Su’s turn to be verified.
You Su had already expected this. He nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, it was much better than he expected to have to undergo the first inspection just before he was close to the sacred mountain.
You Su submitted his identity document and smiled wryly. The name Da Bang really followed him to the foot of the sacred mountain. He pulled down his collar and took off his felt hat. The city guard took the wanted notice and carefully compared You Su's appearance with that of You Su in the painting. However, he just glanced at it casually and waved for You Su to go back.
It turns out that Yousu had already disguised himself before entering the city, and because of his more mature appearance, it was indeed difficult to connect him with the person in the portrait. And the city guard was not stupid. He knew that this was the person brought back by Master Oshu. He didn't dare to delay, so he let him go easily.
You Su answered several questions from the city guard one after another. Fortunately, he was well prepared. The spherical jade stone used to check for evil spirits also had no reaction to You Su. Finally, after the verification was completed, You Su breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Bai Ze and followed Master Oshu into the snow city.
In the city, a bustling scene came into view. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and even at dusk, there is an endless stream of pedestrians. They no longer wear thick cotton coats, but fleece coats with thinner fabrics but more warmth.
You Su had the illusion that the temperature in the snow city was warmer than outside. He even felt a little warm wearing such thick clothes.
"There is a large formation underground in Snow City. Every year, immeasurable spiritual stones are spent on this formation. The purpose is to provide heat for these rich people who can live in Snow City."
Oshu Zun The reporter seemed to have guessed what You Su was thinking and explained it to him.
It suddenly dawned on You Su that he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
They passed through the bustling crowd and arrived in front of a mansion in the center of the city. The mansion is tall and majestic. On the lintel hangs a plaque with carved dragons and phoenixes, and the three characters "Shu Shuxuan" are written on it with powerful writing and extraordinary momentum.
Master Oshu opened the door of the mansion with ease and led You Su and Bai Ze in. The mansion is bright and bright outside, but inside it looks like it has not been cleaned for a long time. There is enough snow in the yard to cover half of the calf.
“I don’t want the house given to me by the Holy Mountain, but my name has been written on it, and I can’t sell it yet. I often run out and don’t come to stay very often, so I just make do with it for one night.”
Oshu Venerable cast Taoist magic at will and swept the snow into two piles.
Of course You Su wouldn't mind it either. Since this is the home of Master Olympus, it will at least be safer than outside.
He carried Bai Ze and followed Lord Olympus to the living room. Lord Olympus greeted him warmly:
"Come, let's eat something to warm up first."
As soon as he raised his hand, the charcoal in the stove started to light up. On the tea table, a pot of hot tea and a stack of snacks suddenly appeared.
Bai Ze was very surprised by Master Olympus's tricks, but Yu Su had no idea and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master Olympus, why do we stay in the snow city? One day? Shouldn’t we rush to the Holy Mountain as soon as possible?”
Hearing this, Master Osu smiled slightly and explained: “You don’t know something, Kongyuan Holy Mountain is different from the other four holy mountains. The beauty of it is not in the mountains, but in the seemingly barren empty plains. The weather is unpredictable, which is why the wind, frost, rain and snow are often raging on the north side. In order to protect the mysteries of Kongyuan, a strict prohibition system has been set up. Whenever there is a weather disturbance above Kongyuan, the entrance to the sacred mountain will be closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"That's it."
6◇9◇书◇Bar
You Su suddenly realized, and most of the doubts in his heart disappeared. He didn't expect that Kongyuan Sacred Mountain had such a secret, but he was a little surprised. This shouldn't be a secret that could be said casually. The Master of Olympus told him so easily?
“Actually, this is not a strange thing.” Venerable Oshu said casually, “When Venerable Tianshu came to Bei Aozhou, he went to Shuangcheng in the south. Shili Bingshuang was stopped outside Kongyuan for a day. What kind of person is Lord Tianshu? Even he has to abide by the rules of Bei Aozhou Xianzu Temple, and we are no exception."
You Su nodded slightly, just when he heard the title of the great elder. , I still feel a little sad.
"Do you know Lord Tianshu?" Lord Oshu asked again.
You Su was slightly startled, not knowing whether to admit it or not.
He has always avoided talking to Master Olympus about topics that might involve the 'criminal Yu Su', just because he doesn't want to reveal his identity, although he knows that this is actually a bit of a self-deception.
The Master Olympus also tacitly agreed not to talk about this, perfectly avoiding questions that might probe into the past experience of the Dabang in front of him.
“I don’t know.” You Su shook his head.
Lord Oshu smiled, his face suddenly became more upright, and he slowly said:
"Venerable Tianshu is an extraordinary person, he is a real hero. Three months ago, San The Lord of Flesh and Blood, one of the Great Evil Gods, appears in the East China Sea of Zhongyuan Continent , Master Tianshu blocked the evil god who had been dormant for five thousand years from the coast with one person. For such a feat, Xiaodao's admiration for him is like the water of the five seas. "
Hearing this, You Su was silent for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement.
He didn’t want to talk more, he just didn’t want to extend the topic.
But Venerable Olympus changed the topic and sighed: "Actually, Venerable Tianshu has always been one of the revered ones I hate most before this."
You Su was a little surprised, thinking that there shouldn't be any conflicts between the two of them.
“The way of magic is gaudy and mysterious; the way of magic is the crystallization of wisdom and rationality. I have always believed that it is wrong that the way of magic is prevalent in the five continents but not the way of magic. , magic is the one that can change the five continents Therefore, although I had no contact with Master Tianshu, I had always placed the blame on him as the first person in the field of magic, and I didn’t know it until he died in the South China Sea three months ago. There is no one greater than him in all the five continents.”< br>
At this point, Master Olympus shook his head slightly, "Prejudice and misunderstanding are indeed the most difficult obstacles in the world to eliminate. Everyone has his or her own complex side, and it is a fool's errand to make arbitrary conclusions. There is a magic trick in the calculation. All math problems must be tested You must prove it three times before you dare to write the answer. This is especially true when looking at people's actions."
Olympic Master is rare and profound. He teaches his life experience without reservation, which makes You Su a little unaccustomed. He always feels that. The Master of Olympus is concerned about what he means.
Is this why he deliberately did not ask about my past experiences...
You Su pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this point, the conversation seems to have come to an end. Master Olympus stood up, rubbed his hands as if afraid of the cold, and said with a smile:
"Okay, it's getting late, so you should rest early. The weather in the snowfield is getting faster, and tomorrow morning, The snow should stop."
You Su responded and walked to the guest room with Bai Ze in his arms. Bai Ze yawned in his arms and seemed a little sleepy.
"Ding Zhen, do you think the Master of Heavenly Arts that the Hua Taoist mentioned just now is the saint who was born with me?"
Bai Ze still stubbornly called Yousu Dingzhen, which was Yousu's unique name.
"Maybe..."
You Su touched its head, and Bai Ze fell asleep quickly, and the kitten's purring sounded like thunder.
You Su was lying on the bed, thinking about this trip to the sacred mountain. When he closed his eyes to rest, the familiar gentle voice seemed to ring in his ears.
It's... the voice of the master's wife.
