Chapter 428 Can’t wait
The four cities of wind, frost, rain and snow are at the foot of Kongyuan Shenshan, and the Frost City is the pass to the mountain to the west.
The towering gates of Frost City are looming in the twilight, and the walls poured by black iron are shining with a faint blue and cold light, like a giant beast dormant in the wind and snow.
You Su stood on the ridge and looked down, frowned at the two meticulously arranged monks and city guards at the city gate, as well as the magic circles buried in bricks and stones on the city walls that were still filled with cold light. All of these are telling the visitor that it is not easy to enter this door.
Even the Olympian Venerable could not fly over Frost City, and You Su naturally did not have such extravagant hopes.
However, as he was wanted in the five continents, without the assistance of the Olympian Master, he was really at a loss about how to enter the sacred mountain.
The brothers and sisters in the distance snuggled together and shivered, Bai Ze's breathing beside her was as light as snow. Seeing that You Su had been looking at him, Bai Ze also raised his clear deer pupils and stared at You Su, as if he was playing a childish game where anyone who moved his sight first would lose.
You Su finally had something to do, so she was defeated and said softly: "Pearl, can you do me a favor?"
Bai Ze spit out a lilac tongue when he heard this, and the bright pearl was rolled up on the tip of his tongue. The fragrance condensed into a substance-like fog.
"If you want to be seven, just whisper." The action of spitting out the fragrant tongue made the girl have a big tongue. It seemed that she mistakenly thought that You Su needed Baozhu to heal and control the loss of the shuttle, but she was embarrassed to say it.
You Su slightly turned his gaze and knocked on Bai Ze's forehead. The girl in pain indeed took back her cat tongue and screamed in anger.
"Stop being smart."
Bai Ze bulged his cheeks, "Good intentions are like donkeys! What are you doing to help?"
You Su glanced at the delicate and lovely girl, pursed her lips and said, "How to enter the city now is our biggest trouble. I can't think of a solution for the time being, but the situation is urgent. If it is convenient, I want to ask her to come out and give some advice."
Bai Ze was stunned, as if he wanted to argue, but he still lowered his head slightly, "It seems that she is much more useful than me..."
You Su hesitated because he was worried that this would happen. Bai Ze obviously did not like this 'other person' who lived in his body, so he never wanted to take the initiative to give control to the Lord of the Dragon Palace. You Su tried to make her understand that she was actually the same person as the Lord of the Dragon Palace, but this was still too difficult. "How could it be? I always rely on you to control the shuttle when I rest, and take care of Ajiu and Aying. If you are gone, I am afraid I will not even have the ability to close my eyes."
It is said that it is to control the shuttle, but in fact it is just to look at it to prevent it from hitting the mountains and ridges; it is said that it is to take care of Ajiu and his sister, but in fact, these two children have been frightened by the magical experience of Feitian and have not recovered, so how could they make a fuss? But there is hard work without credit, and You Su is not coaxing the stupid cat.
"Forget it, if I think about it again, don't hold on, go back to the shuttle and sleep for a while."
Bai Ze snorted, "No, I want to sleep in your arms."
You Su shook his head helplessly, but did not refuse, but took the initiative to open his arms. The girl fell into the forest like a breast, hugging You Su's waist and abdomen, and pressed her little face against the boy's chest, like an angry kitten. You Su Zeshun caressed her soft ponytails, her eyes soft and doting. "Let go." Seeing the tone of the Dragon Palace Lord's tone was like a knife that had ice quenched.
You Su froze and was about to explain, the person in his arms suddenly grabbed his shoulder-looping arm. When he raised his eyes, the clear innocence flowing in the girl's eyes had turned into a cold silence like a cold pool, and even the white mist exhaled seemed to be condensed with frost.
You Su took off his arm like an electric shock, and Bai Ze—or when he saw the Lord of the Dragon Palace, he staggered half a step because he suddenly lost support. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes steadily swept through You Su's panicked eyes, "Do you know she must sleep in your arms, so she said this on purpose?"
You Su raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't expect that her plan would be seen through by the palace master just at a glance, but he didn't intend to admit it generously. After all, he just hugged not only Bai Ze, but also this powerful person:
"It would be better to say that you disturbed our brother-sister love."
"Love in brother-sister love?" Seeing the Lord of the Dragon Palace repeating it again, although his tone was plain, You Su heard a little joke, "What do you want to do with me?"
You Su really didn't know where the strong sense of oppression came from such a small body, so she had to point to the towering Shuangcheng Gate, "I have no status, and now the guard is tightly guarded. Do you know there are other roads to go to the sacred mountain?"
"Only these four cities can be entered."
Seeing the Lord of the Dragon Palace, after he held his hands, swept over the heavily guarded city gate at the mountain, and a sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of his lips: "Even the gatekeepers of Shuangcheng have changed a group, but she was well guarded."
"You can't go in?" You Su frowned.
Seeing that the Dragon Palace Lord had not answered, an ice edge condensed from his fingertips, reflecting the reflection of the patrol guards on the city tower.
When the ice light passed through the third mercedes, her pupils suddenly contracted - there was a commander with a fleshy face standing, with frost patterns on her armor, and a faded word "frost" engraved on her waist. "Chen Dafu." She whispered this name, like chewing a moldy cake. "Fifty years ago, she was sentenced to death for rape and killing her sister."
When she said this, she turned her head and looked at You Su sideways.
You Su felt puzzled, but after careful consideration, he immediately realized that the other party was using this heinous crime to allude him.
He was about to retort, but when he saw the Lord of Dragon Palace, he turned his head and continued to say to himself: "But before the death penalty, the Lord of Shuangcheng found a scapegoat, and he gave him the surname Shuang. From then on, he changed his surname to Shuangchu and became the city guard of Shuangcheng. However, he was promoted to the commander of the city guard. I am afraid that no one should take his surname Shuang seriously."
You Su tightened his fist, "Why did the Lord of Shuangcheng save him?"
The Lord of the Palace turned his head and glanced at him again, "We Bei Aozhou are not as dirty as the southerners, but there is no pervert who will covet his sister. The murderer is the other person."
You Su was said to be a dirty southerner, and immediately became angry. Unfortunately, he stopped talking, so he decided not to care about a child and only guessed who the real murderer was. After thinking for a moment, the answer was about to come out. Even if it was not the Lord of Frost City himself, I would definitely not have anything to do with him.
"The Lord of Shuangcheng is still the one fifty years ago?"
"The Lord Ningshuang, he has been this Lord for more than a hundred years."
You Su stared at the lights of the thousands of families in a long time, and said, "You know that he is guilty, but can you still keep him in a high position?"
"When did I say he is guilty?" The Lord of the Palace raised his eyes and asked, "The disease is not him, but this land. If it weren't for the poor, he needs to exchange his life for a way out, who would have brought his sister to the door? When he knew that his sister died, perhaps the joy would be greater than the sadness..."
You Su suddenly felt infarction in his heart and could not say anything.
"Chen Xiaoyou, if you call his sister's name, he will not dare to stop us anymore." Seeing that the Lord of the Dragon Palace was still light.
"Why do you know these things so clearly?"
The girl turned around and smiled, "Because my goal is the same, we all want to make Bei Aozhou better."
After the words, he saw that the Lord of the Dragon Palace had already brushed his sleeves towards the city gate, and when the skirt swept through the snow, there was no trace left, as if a ghost came from the moon.
You Su Jianmo, waved to the Ajiu brothers and sisters who had been hiding in the hiding place, and called on them to follow.
When the group approached the city gate, a tight low sound of armor sounded from the city tower. Shuang Chu's loud shout was wrapped in wind and snow: "Stop the arrival! The martial law in the city is strictly strict! Do not enter!"
As he shouted, swords, soldiers and swords were deshewn and pointed directly at the young man in front of everyone.
The boy was calm in the face of danger, his hair dancing with the wind. He calmed his head slightly, and his collar covered most of his face, like a wild beast that could not bear it. "Commander Chen, don't you even recognize me?" The young man's voice was gentle.
The city guards took a step forward, and one of them even shouted loudly: "There is no Commander Chen here! Retreat! Otherwise, the sword will be without eyes!"
But the young man did not hide or retreat, his eyes just staring at the burly and strong man behind the city guard.
Just as a city guard was about to give You Su a look, a big hand grabbed his shoulder. The city guard looked back in shock and found that it was his own leader.
"Shuang sees more than a thousand people every day, but she really can't remember everyone's appearance. I hope you don't blame me. Please tell Shuang again. Shuang will remember your name in my heart this time and will never forget it."
"Don't you know me?" You Su chuckled and shook her head, "But your sister..." "My Master! It turns out to be Master Mei!" Shuang Chu suddenly shouted and suppressed all the voices, patted the snow on his sleeves and came forward enthusiastically, "I haven't seen you for many years, and I almost forgot about Master Mei, damn it!"
You Su thought to himself that this guy really dared not talk about the past, otherwise his unjustified and unpleasant name from the Shuang surname would be revealed, and he would become a humble person who exchanged his sister for future. "It's okay, I haven't returned to the mountain for a long time. I still have to defend the city gate so late, but it's hard for Commander Shuang to change his words."
You Su changed his words very quickly, as if he was calling Commander Shuang.
Shuang Chu Han smiled repeatedly, and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the city guards behind him, giving way: "Why do you have to do your duty? Please, Lord Mei."
The city guards saw their leader's polite appearance, and really thought that it was a mysterious powerful stationed outside, so they all lowered their heads and dared not stop them again. After all, the momentum of You Su cannot be faked.
You Su nodded and waved to Bai Ze and others behind him.
Bai Ze looked delicate and had extraordinary temperament. Shuang Chu's eyes flashed and thick eyebrows frowned slightly. The girl always felt familiar with him, so she didn't dare to ask more questions. After all, the man in the lead must be a person with great means to tell the story of that year. The secret he buried for many years is probably not even considered a topic of discussion in the eyes of these people.
The black iron gate rumbling up, but when Ajiu and Aying walked by, Shuang Chu could not help but speak, "Master Mei, these two refugees..."
Shuang Chu pointed at Ajiu's brother and sister tremblingly, and was cut off by You Su's eye knife before he finished speaking.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
"The Venerable Ningshuang is kind and generous, but the Shuang City is so big that even two children can't tolerate it?"
Shuang Chu heard that it was a war between two people, but he still couldn't bear to let go. "My Lord Mei doesn't know that these two children have no cultivation..."
"If you don't have cultivation, you can't enter the city? Who sets the rules?!" You Su scolded. "We just obey our orders, and I don't know..." You Su snorted coldly, threw out an ice talisman from her sleeve, and the frost flower outlined the dragon pattern on the talisman paper, which was exactly the same as the totems in the relief of the city gate. This is what the Lord of the Dragon Palace quietly handed him to him before entering the door.
"Sir, do you deserve to ask?!"
Shuang Chu's knees immediately softened when he heard this, and he almost crawled to open the road. After being a guardian in this sacred mountain for a long time, even the two words "Venice" were not that shocking. The two words "Venice" were only one word different from the Venerable. But you should know that there was only one valent lord in the mountains...
When You Su stepped across the threshold, he heard the evil man begging in a low voice: "May I don't want to report the past... to the Lord..."
The person who responded to him was You Su sneered.
Even the Lord himself cannot condemn them, so how can You Su do it? The one who is wrong is not someone, but this piece of permafrost that is more barren than the desert.
But You Su didn't plan to let Shuang Chu go. He sneered, just to let Shuang Chu understand that there are still people in this world who know his compulsion. He wanted Shuang Chu to engrave this guilt into his bones and remember it for the rest of his life.
A group of people stepped into the Frost City and became another world.
On both sides of the long street paved with pebbles, the weeping crabapple bloomed in a scent, and the warm wind wrapped in sweet fragrance brushed across You Su Mo's black clothes. Each of them had a happy smile on their faces, as if they were celebrating some festival.
A Ying woke up from her brother's back and stared at the beautifully dressed child in front of the candied painting stall. The child took a bite of candied fruit and threw the rest to the side of the road. Immediately, a fat and strong black dog came up to grab the food. "So the snow... can be melted." Ajiu grabbed a handful of the remaining snow that had not been swept away by the canal and watched them melt into warm water in their palms.
Yousu's knuckles turned white.
Along the way, he had seen his mother use body temperature to melt ice for the baby, and the old man curled up on his companion's corpse to keep warm. Here, this struggle to survive was used to give alms to the dog.
He has been to Snow City at the north gate of the sacred mountain, which is warmer and more prosperous than other cities, but it is not as unscrupulous as Frost City.
He looked down at the girl and got the answer from the shocked look when he saw the Lord of the Dragon Palace. This Frost City was not always so luxurious.
"The underground fire array in the four cities of wind, frost, rain and snow burns one-seventh of the total tax on the sacred mountain every year, but if you want to be so warm, one-fifth is not enough to burn. But no matter how warm it is, you will never be able to produce such flowers."
She curled the tender weeping crabapple with her fingertips, but there was no trace of appreciation in her eyes. "Is she the one who ordered the fire array to be the fullest?"
You Su gritted his teeth and said that one-fifth of the taxes in the entire continent were actually focused on here to provide warmth for these wealthy and powerful people at the foot of the sacred mountain. How ridiculous is this. "We are the most stingy people in Quanshenshan." Seeing that the Lord of the Dragon Palace was quite content with his tone, he seemed to be not ashamed, but rather proud.
You Su's heart flew around, exhaling for a long time, and squeezed out the sound from the cracks of her teeth:
"I'm afraid the city guards in Hongcheng are right. Someone crossed her and decided to sacrifice those who were far away from the sacred mountain. The Venerable Oshu once told me that the tax paid by most cities in Beiaozhou is far less than the relief funds allocated to them by the sacred mountain. Now that they have given up on them, they can save a lot of money to use for these people's enjoyment. This is a great thing..."
You Su didn't say a word after he finished speaking, but just walked in front of him alone. Ajiu and Aying followed carefully, fearing that they would lose them.
You Su's destination was the former residence of Jushi Venerable Oshu, Shushuxuan.
The dust here accumulates even heavier. You Su originally wanted to clean up the two children, but Ajiu grabbed the broom first.
You Su did not take it back, but ordered: "You will live here in the future. This is the home of the Taoist priest. If he can come back, I will let him accept your sister as his disciple. He is very powerful, not a liar."
Ajiu and Aying's eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes became different when they looked at this cold house.
You Su remembered something, took out some broken silver from her arms and handed it over. He really only had these broken silver, and giving spirit stones to these two poor children who were dressed up without cultivation would only make them guilty of possessing a treasure. "I don't have much money left. If I want to take good care of your sister, I have to find a way by myself." "Brother You are leaving?" A Ying asked timidly, feeling the parting vaguely.
"Yes."
"Are you going to save Bei Aozhou?" A Ying asked again.
"Do you think you need to save here?" You Su asked with a smile.
A Ying nodded blankly, "This is the most sick place."
You Su was stunned and absent-minded, but Ajiu picked up the broom and patted his chest, "Then Brother You, go and do it quickly. Just leave it to me and my sister to clean it!"
You Su looked at the boy who was confident and rubbed his head with relief.
He walked out the door and saw the Lord of the Dragon Palace silently following him. "The door to the sacred mountain will not open at night," she said.
The warm wind blew away the broken hair on You Su's forehead, revealing a pair of dark eyes - what was surging inside was a more obscure anger than the vortex under the sea.
"But I can't wait."
