As the light outside the cave became brighter, the small boat on which several people were sitting gradually changed its appearance, turning into an ordinary small boat.

In this way, several people staggered out of the cave in a small boat.

The three people behind Lin Qingbai looked at the vast white snow in the world, and they were so excited that they couldn't restrain their emotions.

Mu Yan exclaimed with bright eyes: "Wow, this is the mortal world...so beautiful...Ah Choo! It's so cold too!"

He Fanglen looked at her, and said helplessly: "You are a mortal when you are in the mortal world. You experience the five senses of a mortal. Without magic power to protect yourself, you will naturally feel cold."

Mu Yan sniffed, then turned around and asked Xuan Che: "Brother, are you cold?"

Xuanche was wearing the thinnest clothes among all the people after changing his shape. Even so, he still braced his face and said without changing his face, "It's not cold!"

Lin Qingbai has been in the human world for a long time, and she has long been used to the cold.

He ignored the noise of the people behind him, but stared intently at the white snow scene in front of him.

The mountains and rivers are still the same, Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow,

Every grass and tree in the mortal world, every wind and grass will affect Lin Qingbai's thoughts, and make him recall all kinds of things in the past.

Those memories were like a sharp thorn, smashing the wall of Lin Qingbai's heart in an instant, and even the 70% of the memories he had hidden in the fairy world began to move around, as if he would leave at any time.His flesh and blood rose from the ground, and he rushed at him like a ghost, continuing to torture him until he could not survive.

Lin Qingbai didn't want to see this painful place again, he stood up from the boat, set foot on the shore, and walked towards the distance without stopping.

The three people behind him quickly stood up, followed behind him and asked, "Brother, where are we going now?"

"..."

"Master, do you know where this is? We will have to return the same way later."

"..."

No matter what was said behind him, Lin Qingbai did not respond.

All his strength was used to suppress the pain in his heart like a needle, and he didn't care about what they were talking about.

Now all he wants is to get things quickly, leave quickly, and get out of here quickly...

Lin Qingbai's shoes and boots stepped into the snow, even regardless of the depth of the snow on the road, the cold snow soaked his shoes and socks, but he didn't care at all, just walked forward quickly.

Lin Qingbai was very familiar with the landscape here, so he found a carriage rental shop on the mountain with ease, threw a piece of silver to the boss, and got into the carriage.

Xuan Che was sitting in front of the carriage and guarding the horse, while Mu Yan and He Fanglen also shrank into the carriage.

The rented carriage is not as good as Lin Qingbai's carriage in the palace.

The carriage of the Wangfu is wide and big, enough for ten people to sit, and there are beautiful cushions inside, and there are several desks. When Lin Qingbai is not feeling well, he can lie down and rest.

But now the carriage cushions are very hard, the curtains are the thinnest plain cloth, and the cold wind can't stop pouring into the carriage, and it's already crowded with three people sitting down.

Lin Qingbai told Xuanche twice how to get there, and then sat back in the carriage.

Mu Yan asked: "Master, where is this place?"

Lin Qingbai said softly, "The capital."

"This is the city where the emperor lived in the book. Master, do you live in the capital too? Master, have you ever visited the imperial palace? Have you ever seen the emperor? Is the imperial palace really as it is in the painting book?"There are many walls, and the palaces are all red bricks and green tiles?"

Mu Yan usually only knows about the appearance of the mortal world in books, but now she descends to the mortal world for the first time, she is very novel, she glances here and there and asks again and again, wishing to throw all her curiosity to Lin Qingbai.

Lin Qingbai tucked her hands under her sleeves, squeezed her sleeves tightly and did not speak.

"You little girl really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Do you know the status of the emperor in the mortal world?"

At this time, He Fang was leaning on the wall of the car, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "You treat the emperor as the immortals of our immortal clan. Everyone can visit and admire. The only emperor in the mortal world is the closest to Fuchao."People with royal power can see it, and millions of people in a whole country can see it.

Only a few hundred people came to the emperor."

When Mu Yan heard this, she let out a disappointment, drooping her eyebrows and eyes and remained silent.

He Fang looked at Lin Qingbai's cold face, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, I haven't asked you yet, what kind of identity have you become in the mortal world?"

Lin Qingbai didn't want to talk more with them, but just said casually: "Ordinary people."

Seeing Lin Qingbai's indifferent appearance, He Fang frowned and said, "Senior brother, you are too perfunctory. You have been in the mortal world for twelve years, and you refused to tell us anything."

Mu Yan also looked at Lin Qingbai after hearing the words.

Lin Qingbai still kept his eyes closed, and sat upright in the carriage. He was not moved by He Fangleng's words, and remained silent.

In this way, their carriage entered the capital.

The day of the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and the capital is more lively than the day when Lin Qingbai left.

It’s just that the scars after the war are still there, the walls blackened by artillery fire, the ridges cut down by soldiers, the homeless beggars on the roadside...

But most of the people affected are the lowest level in the capital.

Once the war was over, the families of the high-ranking officials and nobles were still dressed beautifully, walking around the streets and chatting, and the topics of discussion were naturally inseparable from the two people who turned the capital upside down a few days ago.

——Xi An and Prince Yun.

"Have you heard? After Xi'an died, Prince Yun followed him."

"Who doesn't know about this, isn't it spread all over the capital?"

"Yeah, I think the fate of Prince Yun is really bad. When General Xi died, although thousands of people scolded him, at least he organized the funeral for his apprentice. It is said that there were people who made trouble to smash General Xi.It’s not that he was protecting his apprentice, I’ve heard people say... Prince Yun even killed a person!”

"Really! Lord Yun dares to kill people?!"

"You don't believe it! I also thought it was appalling at the time! Who can kill someone as weak as Lord Yun, but everyone is spreading this story, I reckon...80% of it is true!"

"Then what happened?"

"Later those troublemakers left. Prince Yun also died on the day of General Xi's funeral, but he was worse than his apprentice. General Xi died and he was protecting him. Once he died, there was really no one to protect him."The people in the capital rushed out to make trouble and wanted to burn his body, but the emperor didn't care about it, so the servants in their mansion were afraid that they couldn't leave him with a whole body, so they buried him hastily.A generation of princes! He didn’t close the museum after he died, and he didn’t even burn paper money for him! It’s too miserable!”

"Bah! What a pity! If you want me to say that they all deserve it! I don't even look at the good things that his rebel apprentice has done. It is kind of the emperor not to divide him into five horses! At least he left a whole body."Corpse! If I were the emperor, even if they were dead, I would dig their bodies three feet from the ground and dig them up! Only by chopping them up can I relieve my hatred!"

The people in the capital talked vigorously, and the few people sitting in the carriage listened with great interest to what you said.

In the end, Muyan understood the ins and outs of the matter, and was amazed again and again. She turned around and asked Lin Qingbai: "Master, have you experienced a rebellion just now?"

The light in the carriage was dim, making it difficult for everyone to see the pale expression on Lin Qingbai's face. His Adam's apple rolled, and he clenched his teeth bit by bit, and the veins on his neck were exposed.

But Mu Yan and He Fangling didn't notice it, the two of them seemed to have encountered something new and strange, just like the people on the street, discussing each other with each other.

He Fangleng said: "No wonder, no wonder, I said why there are so many beggars in this capital, it turns out that someone has rebelled... Tsk tsk tsk, General Xi in these people has courage, if he hadn't alreadyDeath, I really want to see who is it, who can lead troops to rebel at the age of eighteen, it's amazing, it's amazing."

"I think that Prince Yun is pitiful, alas, a prince will not be able to attend the funeral even after he dies."

"Master Yun is dead, who cares about whether he can have a funeral? What's more, he is a prince, born with gold and jade, so how pitiful is he? Brother?"

Didn't hear Lin Qingbai's answer

, He Fangleng turned his head to look at Lin Qingbai again, and continued to ask: "Brother, you should be rebelling in the mortal world, have you ever met that prince and general, what kind of character are they like?"

"..."

"Master, what's wrong with you..." Mu Yan looked at Lin Qingbai cautiously, and said belatedly, "Do you think we are too noisy..."

While several people were talking, the speed of the carriage slowed down.

Xuan Che poked his head in from the curtain of the car, and said to Lin Qingbai: "Master, is this the location you mentioned? I looked around, and it seems that there is only this gate on this road."

"Are you there?" Mu Yan heard the words and opened the curtain to look out, but saw the carriage stopped at the gate of a large mansion.

The high red brick walls of that mansion, the gate is as high as two or three people, it is different from those small households in the capital at first glance.

Mu Yan sighed and said: "Master, what is your status in the mortal world... You live so well..."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and saw the three eye-catching words on the gate - Prince Yun's Mansion.

Mu Yan's eyes widened in an instant, and before she could utter the words of exclamation, she was swallowed back.

Her neck was stiff, and she turned her head little by little with eyes full of shock, and looked at He Fangling, only to see that He Fangling was like her, looking up at the sign on the door, her mouth shut in shock.

Lin Qingbai opened his eyes at this moment, and got out of the car silently.

Xuan Che had already stood in front of the chariot and horses, and raised his hand to help his master get off the chariot.

The two walked to the gate of the palace together, Lin Qingbai knocked on the gate lightly, waiting for someone to open it.

"Master Uncle..." Sitting in the car, Mu Yan called out in a low voice, and asked, "I'm not mistaken, right... What house is this?"

The two looked at each other.

He Fang's throat was choked, he opened his mouth, and said in a low voice, "..... Prince Yun's Mansion"

"It's just now, is it the palace of King Yun that those people talked about..." Mu Yan asked with a trembling voice.

"Should... maybe... right..."

Mu Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said silently: "Then Master's home is in Prince Yun's Mansion..."

"..."

He Fanglen also swallowed, not daring to speak any more.

There was silence in the car.

At this moment, the gate of the palace in the distance opened, and a little maid came out from inside.

The servant girl was not very old, but she had a pair of big eyes and looked very clever. She held the door with her hand and looked at the person coming outside the door very vigilantly.

I don't know what Lin Qingbai said to the little maid, but the little maid slowly let go of her guard, leaned over and let Lin Qingbai and Xuan Che inside.

Mu Yan and He Fangling were afraid of being left behind, so they got out of the carriage immediately, followed Lin Qingbai and ran into the palace, but were stopped by the little maid and asked, "Are you with Master Lin?"?”

Mu Yan was taken aback when she heard Master Lin's name, and immediately said after realizing: "Yes, we are Master Lin's subordinates."

Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she said this.

When Lin Qingbai walked into Prince Yun's mansion just now, she was really taken aback.

And now that learned about Mr. Lin from the maid, it should be that Master came to the mortal world to become a Mr. Jingzhong and just met Lord Yun.

Thinking of this, the anxiety in Mu Yan's heart calmed down a lot.

When the little servant girl of Prince Yun's Mansion heard what Mu Yan said, her eyes turned red, and she also let the two of them in.

The little maid walked with a few people, and walked in front of Lin Qingbai to lead the way for Lin Qingbai.

Although it is a palace, compared with the prosperity seen from outside the wall, the inside of the palace is bleak and lonely.

There are not many people left in the palace.

They only saw a few servants along the way, there were still many yellowed mourning banners in the courtyard that had not been taken down, and the snow on the road was not cleaned, and some even turned to ice.

Lin Qingbai's walking speed was not slow, and he almost slipped when he stepped on the ice water.

The little maid grabbed Lin Qingbai's arm, apologetic

Said: "I'm sorry, Master Lin, our palace, the servants have dispersed recently... No one came to clean it, I made you laugh..."

"No problem."

Lin Qingbai responded softly.

The little maid's voice was filled with tears, perhaps because she had no one to confide in, or because she had been wronged too much, she said to these strangers: "Since our lord left, allEveryone is afraid of being affected by the bad luck of my palace, afraid of making the Holy One angry, no one dares to come to our palace to pay homage to the prince... Lord Lin is a good friend of our prince's court, and he is also the first person to come to our palace on his own initiative....It's a pity...it's a pity..."

Speaking of this, the tears in the eyes of the little girl were falling down, and she couldn't hold it back at all. She covered her eyes and cried with trembling shoulders: "It's a pity that our prince has already been buried in the ground, and you can only goHis memorial tablet... I can't see him off for the last time..."

Mu Yan couldn't see the girl crying like this, she held the little girl's hand, and said in a hurry: "Don't cry, your lord can't bear to see you so sad..."

Several people were talking, and walked all the way to Lin Qingbai's palace.

The little maid touched her tears and walked in front to open the door for a few people.

I saw that Lin Qingbai's palace was completely replaced with white, white sheets, white bed curtains fluttering in the wind, white flowers were hung on the table, bedside, and wardrobe, and the eyes were full of chills.the loneliness.

The little servant girl brought them to a place in the middle of the palace room, and said to several people: "Our prince's funeral is inconvenient to make a big deal, and the ranking can't enter the royal mausoleum. We can only arrange the ranking.In the palace of the prince, the wronged ones worshiped here..."

Lin Qingbai stared at the spirit tablet with heavy eyes, but did not speak.

He Fangling stepped forward and sighed nonsense to the little girl: "The prince took good care of us adults when he was alive, and now we come to worship the prince, and we also hope that the prince can be safe in Tiantian..."

"Yes, thank you, my lords..."

Seeing that the little maid's tears were about to fall again, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Red Moon! Red Moon!"

Another little maid came running not far away, rushed into the hall and said out of breath, "Xiaobai is gone!"

Hongyue turned her head quickly, wiped away the tears on her face and asked, "Why is Xiaobai missing?!"

"I don't know! Since the prince left, Xiaobai has been running outside every day, and I knew I couldn't keep it! Today I was feeding it, and suddenly there was a whistle! It's strange to say, I heard that soundIt seemed to be coming from far away, Xiaobai immediately rushed out shouting when he heard it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

Hongyue was so anxious that she turned around and was about to go out: "Then hurry up and find it!"

When they were about to step out of the palace gate, Lin Qingbai suddenly turned around, called to stop them, and said, "Please wait a moment."

Hongyue turned her head and looked at him puzzled.

Lin Qingbai's Adam's apple rolled and said: "When I came to Prince Yun's mansion before, I met an old lady who waited on the prince... May I ask how she is now?"

"Oh, you're talking about Aunt Lian, right?" Another little maid did not suspect him, and said quickly, "After the prince passed away, she was overly sad and fell ill. Now Doctor Liang in our house is treating her., it’s all right now.”

Knowing that Aunt Lian and Liang Yaochu were fine, Lin Qingbai finally felt relieved.

As for Xiaobai...

If the owner is gone, and it doesn't want to stay in the palace, but insists on running out, let it go.

The two little maids were in a hurry to find Xiao Bai, so they left Lin Qingbai's bedroom.

After they walked away, Lin Qingbai turned around and closed the palace door.

The palace room suddenly became dark.

Everyone was at a loss and didn't understand what Lin Qingbai was going to do.

But Lin Qing walked to the bookcase with ease, opened the bookcase, and took out a small wooden box from inside.

The wooden box was finely crafted, and there was a brass lock on it.

Lin Qingbai gently put the wooden box on the bed, then put his hand under the mattress of the bed, and

He took out a golden key.

He inserted the key into the copper lock, opened the wooden box, and looked at the things in the wooden box quietly.

Lin Qingbai lowered his head, and his black hair hung down his shoulders, making it difficult to see his expression at this time.

He could only see the wooden box that he was holding tightly with his hands, but he just looked at it, and didn't even take out the contents of the wooden box to touch it, or open it to have a look.

Xuan Che stood close, and he saw the letter paper and a piece of white jade in the box.

Xuan Che didn't understand why Lin Qingbai was fascinated by looking at these ordinary things, so he stepped forward and called softly: "Master."

Lin Qingbai suddenly came back to his senses, closed the wooden box with a snap, and said in a hoarse voice, "...I'm fine."

After speaking, Lin Qingbai found a cloth package from the room, and put the wooden box inside.

While he was sorting the package, He Fangling suddenly asked, "Is this the token you want to take back?"

Lin Qingbai paused for arranging things, and hummed heavily.

After he tidied up his things and took the package, his face was as cold as ice in winter, and he said, "Let's go."

Xuan Che stepped forward to take the package from Lin Qingbai's hand, but Lin Qingbai pushed his hand away and said, "I'll take it myself."

Xuan Che paused, withdrew his hand, and said, "Yes, Master."

Lin Qingbai pushed open the door and strode out of the palace.

Until Lin Qingbai's figure got farther and farther away, Mu Yan still didn't realize what was going on.

She stood there blankly, pointed to the tablet in the hall and asked, "Didn't we come to pay homage to Lord Yun? Why did Master take something from Lord Yun as a token?"

He Fangleng walked up to her side and bumped her lightly.

Mu Yan asked with a confused face: "What's wrong, uncle?"

"Stupid!" Seeing that Lin Qingbai had already walked out of the palace gate, He Fang pointed his finger at Mu Yan's head, lowered his voice, and said bitterly, "You can only take your own things as tokens.Think about it now, who is Prince Yun?"

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her pupils shrank sharply, and she tightly covered her mouth in disbelief.

Under the leadership of Lin Qingbai, everyone walked out of Prince Yun's mansion and got into the carriage.

Xuanche drove the carriage, and the carriage quickly moved away from Prince Yun's mansion.

The curtain was slightly blown by the wind, Lin Qingbai put the package on her lap, holding the box tightly with her slender hands.

He endured and endured, and finally turned his head and looked at the Wangfu, which was getting farther and smaller outside the car window.

He knew in his heart that he might never see the place where he lived for twelve years.

During the journey in the carriage, Lin Qingbai sat in the carriage without saying a word.

Neither Mu Yan nor He Fanglen dared to say another word.

Now there is no need for them to ask about Lin Qingbai's status in the mortal world. From the words of the common people just now, they almost know what happened to Lin Qingbai in the mortal world.

Everyone said that going down to the world to experience calamities... to experience calamities...

Qing Yuan Xianzun Lin Qingbai really experienced a catastrophe.

Knowing this matter, Mu Yan is still in a trance until now, and she can't believe it is true.

This story is already full of ups and downs when heard from other people's mouths, just like in the storybook, it makes people cry.

But now it happened to his master.

Now Mu Yan only hopes that Xuan Che can drive the carriage faster, and stop hearing the gossip and gossip of those people outside the car window.

Lin Qingbai still looked the same, holding the wooden box in his hand, listening to the noise of the crowd outside the window expressionlessly.

Along the way, someone set off firecrackers.

The rented horses were naturally incomparable with the high-quality horses in the palace. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, they were frightened and refused to take half a step.

Xuanche managed to calm the horse, and when he hurried back down the mountain, it was already dark.

They returned the carriage to the shop where the carriage was rented, and then walked all the way up the mountain.

It's getting dark and it's cold again, there's no longer any

There were other pedestrians, and only the four of them walked along the path.

The higher up the mountain, the narrower the mountain road becomes.

In the end there was no way, they could only shuttle through the woods, walking was very difficult, Xuanche then supported Lin Qingbai to move forward.

At this moment, fireworks exploded in the sky with a bang.

The little fireworks light up the sky and the dark mountain road, which is very beautiful.

Mu Yan raised her head, stared blankly and said, "It's so beautiful... It's the first time I've seen fireworks in the mortal world..."

Not only was it the first time for her to see fireworks, even He Fangleng and Xuan Che had never seen fireworks before.

Everyone looked up in a daze, only Lin Qingbai stood where he was, without looking up.

Why let him see the fireworks again...

Every fireworks in the mortal world is accompanied by his best and most painful memories.

Lin Qingbai didn't want to indulge in the memories that wanted to kill him anymore, he walked forward quickly holding the wooden box without saying a word.

"Oh? Brother!"

"Master, wait for us!"

 ….

Lin Qingbai ignored them and did not stop.

In this way, he quickly shuttled through the woods, and he was about to reach the river where he came, and he could return to the fairyland, and he would no longer have to suffer this repeated torture and pain in the mortal world.

However, when going through the last turn, Lin Qingbai's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Under the tree by the river, stood a slender figure.

That person was leaning against a big tree, wearing a black cloak, his figure was hidden in the endless darkness of the jungle, his hair fluttering gently in the wind, obviously he was standing in such a casual posture, but it was difficult to hide his intimidating aura.

A black eagle fell on his shoulders, with his hands folded on his chest, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes stared straight at Lin Qingbai in the dark night like an arrow.

Lin Qingbai stood there dumbfounded like a lightning strike.

A few people behind came after him, He Fangling panted heavily, put his hands on Lin Qingbai's shoulders and said, "Brother, why are you walking so fast! We ran all the way to catch up..."

Lin Qingbai looked into the distance and said nothing.

He Fangling also paused abruptly, following Lin Qingbai's gaze, he also saw the man standing in the distance.

Even though the man was standing far away, He Fangling could still feel his undisguised sharpness.

He Fanglen became serious, his complexion gradually darkened, and he frowned and asked Lin Qingbai, "Senior brother, do you know this person?"
