The sound of flowing water could be heard. The clear blue water was swaying in front of her eyes. The melodious sound of the zither blended with the sound of the water. The sound of the water seemed to be an indispensable part of the sound of the zither. It was as if the water had seeped into her heart bit by bit, lingering with the deepest feelings in her heart. Any pain was no longer pain, and any injury was no longer an injury. She just stood there for a long time, letting the soft water.., wrap around his still beating heart. It was so cold... and his breathing was not smooth. He seemed to have not thought of the person under the wisteria for a long time. Letting the wisteria that covered the mountains and plains accompany him, it was as if that person was still by his side. A faint figure suddenly turned around, smiling brightly. With a smile, the charm of the universe dissipated. With another turn, he threw himself into the raging fire. The fire grew bigger, and he followed closely behind, shouting, “Don’t do anything stupid --” However, no matter how much he shouted, that person could no longer walk out of the collapsed building. Wrong, wrong shouldn’t have... wrong shouldn’t have.. He slowly closed his eyes and suddenly opened them again. Su Qin moved slightly and the sound of the zither suddenly stopped. He also suddenly woke up and stared blankly at the wall of the water realm in front of him. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he laughed mockingly. Su Qin carried the pot of wine and entered the water realm just like that. “Oh, what kind of wind has blown supreme god Ting Feng in.”Mo Chen was leaning on the spot and resting. His hands did not move. In front of him was an ancient zither with fifty strings and countless strings laid horizontally above it. “Only you, Mo Chen, can use these fifty strings to play such a beautiful zither tune.”The silver-blue robe slid across the water, but there was no water dripping on the hem of the robe. A slender hand under the wide sleeve was holding the pot of wine, it was placed in front of Mo Chen. Then Su Qin sat down and floated in the air. There seemed to be water supporting her body. “Oh...”Mo Chen’s beautiful face stiffened slightly. He picked up the wine pot that Su Qin had placed in front of him with one hand. He waved his wide sleeves gently and the water under his feet suddenly gathered high, forming a jade-like platform. Then, out of thin air, two glazed jade cups were clearly displayed in front of him. The wine pot was suspended high in the air and the streamlined wine entered the wine cups. The entire water realm was filled with a fragrance. “Although I know that the water realm can’t stop you, it’s not like you to be so abrupt.”Mo Chen held the cup and a smile appeared on his face. “You can come and go as you please. I don’t really like to abide by the special rules of the Ninth Heaven.”Su Qin also held the cup and the two of them drank and laughed at the same time. “You, just because you are Fuxi’s disciple, don’t be too arrogant.” “No Way, I have raised so many children, even you have to give in to me.”He straightened his back, pursed his thin lips, and raised his eyebrows, looking very handsome. “Cough.”He thought back to the time when he couldn’t stand the threat of morning dew and sent Xin an to Su Qin. This person’s face was full of melancholy. He looked at the little animals that were playing on the ground and then at the young man who was waiting in the distance with his head lowered. He said to Mo Chen, “Other people gave me animals, but you gave me a young man. Mo Chen, aren’t you happy raising one yourself? How dare you find trouble for me.” Su Qin then finished the wine in her cup and said, “I haven’t looked for you for too long. Why Don’t you say something? Have you become stupid after staying in the water realm?” Mo Chen smiled. His eyes were bright and clear. “Why would I be afraid of loneliness as an Immortal?” “Hmph, I should have let you die of loneliness.” “I’m only talking about you. When you heard that I was locked up, you actually didn’t come to save me.”Mo Chen raised his hand and took the wine pot that was wandering around in the sky. There was still half of the wine in the wine pot, and it was still warm. He thought that Su Qin had heated up the wine and came straight here. Seeing that he was smiling without saying anything, Mo Chen sighed slightly. “Did you predict that I would be fine again?” Su Qin spread out her hands and reached out to stroke the quiet and motionless long zither. The strings of the long zither slid, and a beautiful and melodious sound flashed past. Then, he raised his head. “Your child has descended to the mortal world.” Mo Chen was slightly stunned. “Descended to the mortal world?” “Yes, with my child and that Narcissus.” “Wait, can you change the way you address me?”Mo Chen was very resistant to the word “Child”and raised his hand to stop her. Su Qin raised her eyebrows. “Why? You raised a little girl into a lady from a noble family. Although she’s far from being a lady, it’s still not easy.” “Stop!”Mo Chen raised his hand again. His powerless expression was exactly the same as morning dew and Su Bai’s. Then he looked up. “Let’s get down to business, Su Qin.” Su Qin slowly exhaled. “They’ve descended to the mortal world, but... I’m afraid it’ll be... more complicated.” “Didn’t exalted goddess Su Qin say that she would never touch fortune-telling again?”Mo Chen swirled the glazed Jade Cup. The wine in the cup was crystal clear and reflected his worried eyes. It was impossible to say that he was not worried. The disciple who had followed him for so many years had also descended to the mortal world alone this time. He could still remember that Chao Lu was afraid of many things. As long as she looked a little strange, she would be so scared that she would hide behind him. Although he wanted to let her go and let her grow up as soon as possible, he still took action when he saw her frightened expression. As time went by, it really became a habit. “Why? Are you worried? This water realm can’t stop you at all. You can go down.”Su Qin sighed. “Children will eventually grow up. Why Bother?” “Sigh... you don’t understand.”He asked Su Qin, “Should I go down?” “Mo Chen, are you stupid?”Su Qin put down the wine glass and landed steadily on the water table without splashing water. “If you go out like this, unless no one knows, will the Ninth Heaven let you go?” Mo Chen was very depressed. Su Qin sighed again, “I said I wouldn’t do any more fortune-telling. This time, I really won’t do it. Back then, I changed my destiny and thought I would save people, but I didn’t expect to kill Zi Luo. “However, today, I feel like my destiny is coming. So, when I started to do the divination, do you know what I saw?” “What?” “The heart of a mortal, the soul of an emperor, the flower of Supreme Love, and the tears of a Xuan Fish.”When the twelve words came out, both of their faces turned cold. In the water realm, peace returned unknowingly. Su Qin had not figured out what these twelve words meant. He thought that Mo Chen knew, but who knew that Mo Chen was also at a loss. Su Qin said, “Then I won’t go. I’ll read the fortune with you first, or I won’t be at ease.” The sound of water was murmuring, but Chang Qin made a “Zheng”sound in dissatisfaction. In this way, it could not speak while he was here. Wouldn’t it be depressing. A vast expanse of white snow covered the entire land. Although the half-immortal was not afraid of the cold, in order to look like a normal person, Su Bai’s white hand only grabbed a few times in the air, and a few good cloaks appeared in front of them. He wrapped the fur cloak around his body and buried his whole body inside. Looking at how petite and cute he was, Chao Lu muttered, “As expected of a person who has become an immortal. He can even change his clothes at will.” “No, no.”Su Bai waved his hand unhurriedly. With the white cloak covering his body, he looked even more elegant. He stood in the same place with the black and white cloaks on his heart bank, making people blink. “I’m just taking things from afar.” “What? You’re a deity and you’re stealing? !”Chao Lu was shocked. “I have to leave while no one is watching this small town. This cloak is obviously not cheap.” “It’s okay. I’m looking for a rich family thousands of miles away. Nothing will happen.”Su Bai stopped Chao Lu’s hurried footsteps. He spoke very casually, causing a wave of sighs. This person was too far-sighted. He chuckled in his heart as he fumbled for the cloak to cover his body. However, a pair of hands reached out and buttoned the buttons on his neck. Just as he was about to speak, he vaguely saw that it was the light yellow figure. He blushed slightly and smiled in return. Then, he looked for the lotus-colored shadow and saw that the shadow had turned around and was walking in his direction. After seeing this scene, he suddenly laughed and walked under the white light with his hands behind his back. He couldn’t help but sigh slightly, then lowered his head and asked xifang, “Miss Xifang, is this Mount Changliu?” A cold wind blew, and the morning dew involuntarily wrapped around his cloak. Looking around, he found that this was a remote corner at the foot of the mountain. Countless mountain rocks clustered in front of each other. The mountain rocks were covered with a thick layer of white snow. Under the cool sun, they shone with a bright white light. Looking up slightly, they could see a village lying in the ravine. It was scattered in the narrow valley. Smoke rose from the chimneys. When Jiao Morning Dew smelled the fragrance of the food in the village, she could not help but sniff. “It smells so good. I haven’t smelled smoke in a long time.” They heard the sound of stepping on snow behind them. The two of them walked over hand in hand. Xifang’s face was red. Xinan wanted to struggle slightly, but she saw the little girl holding it tightly, she said, “We are indeed at the foot of Changliu Mountain. Follow me. This road is not easy to walk on. Big Brother Xinan, you have to be careful.” Seeing that she was so persistent, Chao Lu smiled and could not help but put her hand on Su Bai’s arm. “How Nice.” “Why? I don’t think Xinan... will be happy.”Su Bai dodged slightly. Chao Lu’s body staggered. When she fell down in a panic, she was caught by that person again. She was immediately angry. “You... you...” “Be careful when you walk.”A wicked smile appeared on Su Bai’s stunning face, just like how he used to be. He carefully helped Zhao Lu straighten up and patted her waist. She kicked him, and he escaped to the front of Xinan and xifang. “Lu'er, what’s Wrong?”Xinan suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned around to ask. “No, nothing...”Chao Lu stopped and ran a few steps, following behind them. Mount Changliu had a beautiful legend. According to the legend, two hundred Li West of Jishi Mountain was called Mount Changliu, and it was where divine white emperor Shao Hao lived. The beasts in the mountain all had patterned tails, and the birds in the mountain all had patterned heads. Mount Changliu was rich in all kinds of fine jade. There was a palace of the only member of the Shen clan on the mountain, in charge of the eastern reflection of the setting sun. A few hundred years later, the Battle of the Five Emperors came to an end, White Emperor Shaohao was defeated, and there was no trace of him. It was as if Mount Changliu had lost its master. But without a sound, that hundred herb garden suddenly appeared. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first month, the disciples of the mountain would bring the herbs of the hundred herb garden down the mountain to sell. Those high officials and nobles would send people to stand guard a month or two ago, hoping to find a hundred-year-old ginseng king or some other good medicine. Yes, even if they wanted to buy it, they still had to ask for it. The herbs in the hundred herb garden could not be bought as they wished. It depended on luck. Often, the disciples could tell the depth of their desire to buy the herb just by looking at the person who asked for it. On the contrary, the poor people could often exchange the most ordinary clothes for the herbs they wanted, while the rich people needed a thousand gold coins. Some rich people with ill intentions had once followed their disciples up the mountain to try to take the hundred herb garden for themselves. However, their people would often appear naked in the village the next month, so hungry that their front and back were pressed against each other. After that, the royal family took action, but it did not succeed. All the hundred people sent into the mountain had disappeared without a trace. From then on, the hundred herb garden became even more mysterious, and people did not dare to act rashly. “Let’s go.”As Xifang led Xinan, she raised her voice and spoke. Under the jumping sunlight, the little girl’s expression was gentle, complementing the white snow and making her look bright and beautiful. Unfortunately, Xinan could not see her, or rather, he could only see the gentle shadow swaying in front of him. In Xinan’s heart, there was only the appearance of a girl. It was something that he had put into his heart before his eyes became like this. Her name was Chao Lu. Unfortunately, this little girl had never grown up in his heart. His eyes became more and more blurry, but the little girl grew up while twitching. When a huge tree that soared into the sky entered his sight. They heard xifang cheering excitedly, “Empty mulberry tree! We’re almost at the Hundred Herb Garden!” When they heard Xifang’s shout, they realized that they had no idea of the route as they followed Xifang all the way. In other words, if they were in the place where they had just landed, they would probably still be at a loss. Su Bai said, “The owner of this hundred herb garden is really not simple.” To be able to block the half-immortal and the immortal outside the Changliu Mountain without anyone sensing it, this ability was really mysterious and unfathomable. Xifang turned around and greeted everyone. Her palm-sized face was full of a brilliant smile. “Look, this is the ancient Sky Mulberry Kingdom’s great sky mulberry tree.” Chao Lu looked up and saw an old tree with tangled roots and iron-like branches standing in front of her. The branches were spread out and covered the entire area. The surging crown of the tree even covered the sky and the Sun. The trunk that dozens of people might not be able to surround indicated that the old tree was thousands of years old. If it was not winter, perhaps the tree would welcome them with its lush vitality. However, the winter snow covered the entire tree, and from time to time, a few clumps of snow would fall from the withered branches. Xifang was even more excited and ran to the old tree. She gently stroked the empty mulberry tree and muttered with tears in her eyes, “I’m back... I’m back...” She could not remember when she had gone up to the sky and how she had spent those years in the sky. It was only when she saw this big tree that covered the sky that she realized how much she missed home. Master Yiqi said that she was carried back by this old empty mulberry tree. Therefore, she had always had a deep affection for this old tree. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the Misty Cliff. Xifang still remembered that when she was young, she was often carried by Big Brother Xue Cha at that place. When spring and summer intersected, that place would be filled with beautiful red mountain tea. She sat among the camellia flowers and looked into the distance. Under her feet was the branch of the empty mulberry old tree. When the wind blew, the tree branch would suddenly shake as if it was alive, tickling the soles of her feet. Slightly squinting, Xifang saw a red figure standing on the cliff that used to be full of Red Mountain Camellia. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. “It’s... It’s brother Xue Cha... Brother Xue Cha...” Xifang shouted Xue Cha’s name and quickly ran forward. Seeing Xifang suddenly look like she had lost her soul, the few of them quickly chased after her. Su Bai simply reached out to hold Xinan to prevent her from running off in the wrong direction. Xinan quickly asked, “What happened?” “Your love rival has appeared.”Su Bai looked at the faint red dot in the Snow White and replied with a smile. His left hand moved slightly, and Xinan finally did not hit a huge rock in front of him. Chao Lu was surprised. “Little Xifang actually has a childhood sweetheart?” This complicated relationship... Xinan smiled bitterly. He would rather treat Su Bai as a love rival than let them think that his love rival was someone he did not know. Such a matchmaking made him feel helpless. According to the collection of compendium of materia medica, “Snow tea is not a type of tea. It is a kind of grass sprout in the sky. The natives pick it and roast it, then cook it in place of tea. When it enters the stomach, it is warm, bitter, and fragrant.” There were two types of snow tea, white snow tea and red snow tea. The snow tea that stood on the cliff was a carefully cultivated red snow tea in the hundred herb garden. It was as crystal clear as Coral Blooming. When xifang shouted his name, red snow tea slightly stuck his head out and saw a woman with a bright yellow cloak jumping up. When they met, he was stunned. Xifang was not the only one who was stunned. Red Snow Tea was also stunned. Xifang felt that although the snow tea in front of her still looked like her brother snow tea, the snow tea in red did not look like her brother snow tea in white. Meanwhile, Hong Xue Cha also felt that it was really strange. The bright and beautiful woman in front of him seemed very familiar when she called his name. However, he really could not find her in his memory, so he could only speak, “May I ask, Miss, how did you enter the realm of the Hundred Herb Garden?” He even brought so many people with him. He could not help but be wary and stepped back slightly. Xifang was even more stunned. She was surprised. “Are you brother Xuecha?” Hong Xuecha hurriedly nodded. “I am... But you are...” Xifang anxiously pointed at herself with one hand and grabbed Xue Cha with the other. Although brother Xuecha’s red clothes in front of her were even more alluring, she really missed the cold brother Xuecha who was dressed in white.. “Brother Xuecha, I am Xifang, Xifang.” This time, it was Hong Xue Cha’s turn to be surprised. He sized up the woman in front of him and saw that her delicate and fair face was exceptionally bright under the contrast of the snow. The cold sunlight shone in her eyes like two stars. Then, he coldly pulled his hand away. “What Xifang? I’ve never heard of her. No one is allowed to enter the realm of my hundred Herb Garden. Miss, you’d better leave with someone as soon as possible, or else don’t blame me for being unreasonable.” He was floating like an immortal. His body flew up and floated backward. Xifang saw that the Xue Cha that she had always loved had suddenly become so cold. She could not help but sniffle and suddenly burst into tears. She could not stop crying. The few people behind her surrounded her and Chao Lu hurriedly comforted her. “Don’t Cry, Don’t cry. Look, you’ve got the wrong person.” Xin an also said, “Yeah, maybe this isn’t your brother Xue Cha. You can try again.” Su Bai didn’t say anything, but he looked at the man in red coldly. Even xifang looked at him suspiciously. He still looked the same. He was tall and there was no blush under the afternoon sun. His handsome face was only pale, but he always exuded a noble and elegant aura. She said softly, “Indeed... It’s brother Xue Cha...” Hong Xue Cha thought about the few people in front of her. Seeing that each of them had extraordinary skills, she quietly put her hand behind her back and slipped out her own dharma treasure, a pocket-sized short sword. When the short sword came into contact with him, his heart suddenly tightened. This short sword was given to him by the previous Xue Cha before she died. Then, the name “Xifang”finally broke through the air in his mind. He could not help but blurt out, “You are... that Xifang... ?” Just like the difference between red snow tea and white snow tea, white snow tea was the previous snow tea. When it was in its herbal form, it was like the petals of a white chrysanthemum. It was as cold as frost-covered grass. When white snow tea was free, it did have the habit of looking into the distance from the cliff, especially when it snowed in winter. It liked it even more. When he was young, he would bring his youngest sister out to play. After cherishing her beauty and going to heaven, he would habitually bring the young red snow tea out. When Red Snow tea was confused, she would see him sighing from time to time. Under his cold face, there was a touch of sadness.
