Time flies.
Winter arrived in the blink of an eye.
Snow began to fall heavily from the sky.
The snowflakes were large, like goose feathers floating on the mountains and rivers, and soon covered the earth with a vast expanse of white.
Qin Shou lay on his back under the eaves, and with a slight thought, he removed a corner of the great formation, allowing snowflakes to fall on the mountaintop.
Soon, a thin layer of white covered the branches, the eaves, and the stone benches in the courtyard.
"Master, Master, it's snowing again!"
The little ones who were playing inside the house suddenly ran out of the bamboo house happily. In the yard, some spread their arms and spun around, some stood on tiptoe and tried to touch the snowflakes higher up, and some blew hot air, watching the snowflakes dance wildly in front of them, trembling in fear like little elves.
Meanwhile, that traitor Little Fatty stuck out his little tongue and chased after the snowflakes all over the yard, licking them indiscriminately.
After licking it, she excitedly shouted, "Sister, sister, I tasted snowflakes! They're sweet!"
"Little sister, snowflakes have no taste," Da Mei corrected her at the right moment.
"Hmph..." the chubby boy frowned, "But I clearly tasted it sweet."
Meanwhile, Yi Cheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer. She opened her blood-red maw and took a big gulp, sucking all the wind and snow from the entire mountain into her belly.
"Hiccup~"
Yi Cheng burped, patted her warm little belly, and chuckled, "Hee hee hee, Little Fatty's right, snowflakes are sweet."
"Squeak, squeak, I want to try some too."
"Mmm, it's sweet, it's sweet."
The black rabbit jumped around excitedly.
Da Mei explained with a smile, "Yi Cheng, little sister, and Black Rabbit, you just ate several jars of honey, so your mouths and stomachs are still sweet. That's why the snowflakes taste sweet to you."
"Hmph, the goose doesn't care. The goose has tasted it, so the snowflakes are sweet!" Yi Cheng shouted, puffing out her little belly.
"Yes, yes, sister, just admit it. When it comes to eating, Yi Cheng is the best kid on our mountain."
"Squeak, squeak, yes, yes, Yi Cheng eats really well. Last time she bit a hedgehog so hard it made it cry, and Yi Cheng even said it smelled bad."
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit chimed in.
"Okay, okay, if you say it's sweet, then it's sweet."
Da Mei looked helplessly at these few silly kids and didn't want to argue with them anymore.
"yeah! "
Upon hearing this, Little Fatty jumped up happily and even gave a thumbs-up.
Then, with her little arms outstretched and head tilted, she ran around the peach trees in the courtyard.
"La la la, snowflakes are sweet..."
"I knew it!"
"Yicheng, look, your sister has read many books, but when it comes to the truth, she has to admit that I'm smarter."
The chubby boy proudly showed off, hands on his hips.
Smack! Smack!
The black rabbit clapped its little hands happily and stared with its big, bright eyes, saying hopefully:
"Little Fatty, you're amazing! Next time I see something, I want to try it first too."
"I want to be the first rabbit in the world to discover the truth."
"Hehehe, then I am the first koi king to discover the truth."
"What is that goose?"
Yi Cheng scratched his head, glanced around the courtyard with his small eyes, and spotted a diamond-polished stone disc, which Qin Shou usually used to grind tofu.
brush!
Yi Cheng pounced on it, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the edge of the stone slab.
This scene made Qin Shou's eyelids twitch as he watched from under the eaves.
He had one regret in his life: his little apprentice didn't grow taller or smarter, he only grew heavier.
Snap!
The sound of diamond shattering could be heard.
Yi Cheng even stuck out her little tongue and licked it.
He laughed heartily:
"Goose, goose, goose, the goose has also discovered the truth: this big rock is sweet."
Snap!
Qin Shou slapped his forehead and shouted:
"Oh my god!"
"Hehehe, Yi Cheng, we've all discovered the truth today!"
Little Fatty was pulling Yi Cheng around in circles in the yard.
Black Rabbit also wanted to join, but was squeezed out by Orange.
"Black Rabbit, geese, this is the circle of truth. Only when you discover the truth can you join us in spinning in circles."
"Squeak, squeak, okay."
Black Rabbit bared its two large front teeth, looking somewhat dejected.
But soon, a bright light shone in those large, bright eyes.
"Yi Cheng, Little Fatty, when we attacked the Seven-Colored Mountains last time, you knocked a pile of poop out of that chubby bird. It was three colors, and it smelled really good. I'll lick it next time and see if it really does smell good."
The black rabbit hopped and shouted, "If I can taste its flavor, I want to join the little circle of truth!"
"Good, Black Rabbit, you're really brave. Even when you were three, you knew that people can't eat poop."
Yi Cheng and Xiao Pang echoed.
Qin Shou was completely dumbfounded listening to this... One of them was really daring to fawn over the other, and the other was really daring to agree.
......
The snow was really heavy.
Half an hour later, the snow on the mountaintop was more than half a foot deep.
Meanwhile, the few little creatures in the courtyard, wrapped in snowballs of various sizes, were arranged on the hilltop.
"Hey, are you guys ready?"
Yi Cheng shouted loudly.
"Ready."
"Ready."
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit both shouted loudly.
"Alright, we'll start counting to three. Whoever's snowball rolls down the hill first wins."
"good. "
"good. "
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit echoed each other.
"One, two, two, charge!"
Yi Cheng counted to two and then laughed loudly, "Goose, goose!" as he pushed the snowball down the mountain.
"Hmph, Yi Cheng, you're cheating! You haven't even counted to three yet."
"That's right, that's right, you're cheating."
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit shouted angrily from behind.
"Goose, goose, goose, this is called 'all's fair in war,' my brother-in-law taught the goose when he took it to war last time."
The snowball rolled ahead, and Yi Cheng chased after it, its speed so fast that it was leaving everyone else in the dust.
This made Black Rabbit and Little Fatty very anxious, and they cried out loudly.
"Black Rabbit, Little Fatty, look! The goose can even run on snowballs!"
As the snowball rolled halfway up the mountain, Yi Cheng jumped onto it, her short legs propelling her forward as she ran. As the snowball grew larger, Yi Cheng's mouth nearly split open in a wide grin.
"Little Fatty, Black Rabbit, look! The goose's snowballs are way bigger than all of yours combined!"
"Goose, goose, goose—"
Yi Cheng laughed heartily, but the next moment her joy turned to sorrow. With a cry of "Ouch!", the rapidly rolling snowball crashed into a large, protruding rock, sending Yi Cheng and the snowball flying through the air in an arc.
"ah---- "
Yi Cheng shouted excitedly.
"Hehehe, Black Rabbit, look, when Orange's snowball lands at the foot of the mountain, it's bound to break."
"Squeak squeak squeak, mmm mmm mmm."
Black Rabbit and Little Fatty laughed happily.
Because they had agreed beforehand that whoever lost would have to give up their dinner that night.
......
On the mountaintop, the snowflakes were deepening.
The white snow, reflecting the pink, glistening petals, is breathtakingly beautiful.
The Qin beast lay leaning against the eaves, untouched by the wind and snow.
The wine was warming on the small red clay stove beside him, hissing and steaming.
In the distance, under a peach tree in the courtyard, a small koi carp lay, with a green paper umbrella floating above its head, shielding it from the wind and snow.
The branches are adorned with the sun and moon, adding to the bright view.
On the solid wood table in front of her, a sheet of drawing paper was spread out. Her nimble little hands splashed ink and began to draw, gradually sketching out the appearance of an immortal.
"Da Mei, what are you drawing?"
The immortal who had been feigning sleep opened his eyes and chuckled leisurely.
"I'm drawing you, Master."
She has big, bright eyes and a sweet smile.
"Really? Then you'd better draw me nicely."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Master. I'll paint you even more beautiful than the peach blossoms in winter."
"Hehehe..."
Qin Shou chuckled softly, propped his head up with one hand, and drifted back into a light sleep.
At this moment, the wind and snow deepened, and the immortal under the eaves looked as if he had his own halo in the painting of the little koi.
The owner is very good-looking.
The owner is very gentle.
The owner is very capable.
He possesses many powerful magical abilities and is well-versed in poetry and literature. In the eyes of this little koi fish, he is the most beautiful and best master in the world.
The ten-year period has come to an end.
While feigning sleep, the Qin beast used its divine sense to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Mirror and entered that Daoist storage space once again.
To his surprise, he saw a point of light as soon as he entered.
"Huh? That divine sense feels so familiar; it's the same person as ten years ago."
Qin Shou murmured to himself, momentarily stunned.
At this moment, not only Qin Beast, but even the light spot opposite him was stunned for a moment.
"This fairy has run into this idiot again."
The ball of light trembled violently.
Upon seeing this, Qin Shou smiled, thinking that the other party was happy to see him. So he moved forward, and although he couldn't speak, his divine sense trembled as if to express his welcome.
"Hmph, is this idiot mocking me?"
"Yeah, he's definitely mocking me for letting him steal my secret technique last time."
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Last time was definitely an accident. My master said that my comprehension is rare in the world. Although I dare not say that I am the best in the world, I am definitely one of the top two."
This time, I'll stick close to him. Whatever secret technique he tries to master, I'll master it too. This fairy will make sure he leaves empty-handed, hehehe..."
The point of light that called itself a fairy was flashing because it was too excited.
Seeing this, Qin Shou assumed she was responding to him, so he flashed even more fiercely.
For some reason, this joy, like "meeting an old friend in a foreign land," seemed quite interesting in this long and boring time of immortality.
"***, is this guy an idiot? How dare he mock me again and again."
The fairy was furious, her divine sense flashing rapidly.
"You're fucking ...
Buzz buzz buzz!
Seeing this, Qin Shou also kept dodging, secretly laughing to himself, "Haha, this fellow Daoist is truly enthusiastic!"
It kept flashing and flashing, and it even circled around people.
This infuriated the fairy, who felt that this person had gone too far. Last time, he stole her Taoist magic, and this time he dared to provoke her like this.
"Hmph, you idiot, you dare to be so cocky? Once I find out where you live, I'll have my master beat the shit out of you."
The little fairy thought to herself resentfully.
"Fellow Daoist, where do you come from?"
"It is fate that we meet. I am very happy to see you today, fellow Daoist. Do you have any gifts for me?"
"Fellow Daoist, are you male or female? What's your name?"
While happily circling around the little fairy's light spot, Qin Shou muttered to himself.
He knew the other person couldn't hear what he was saying, and that he was just talking casually out of boredom.
After a while, Qin Shou gradually realized that the other party was no longer responding to his enthusiasm, and the light of divine sense became calm.
Actually, it wasn't that the girl didn't want to reply to him anymore, but rather that she was on the verge of depression because he had been mocking her for almost half an hour, and seemed to be getting more excited the more he mocked her.
"Alas, it's a pity that communication isn't possible within this Daoist Scripture space."
Qin Shou sighed, feeling a pang of regret.
He was filled with curiosity because he suspected that the point of light might not belong to someone from this world.
"Never mind, let's hope we meet again in the real world someday."
Qin Shou waved his hand in his mind. He had sensed the other party's divine sense before, and if they met again in the future, he would be able to recognize him.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm leaving. I'm going to seek out and comprehend the Dao."
The Qin beast drifted away into the distance.
The light spot followed closely behind Qin Beast.
When the Qin beast walks, she walks; when the Qin beast stops, she stops.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you're so clingy."
Qin Shou laughed inwardly, but at the same time felt a little sad.
"Alas, fellow Daoist, we cannot communicate within this Daoist Scripture space. Even if you follow me, it will be useless. Go and find your own opportunity."
Qin Beast's divine sense flickered.
However, the other party did not receive the message at all, and ignored Qin Shou, simply following quietly behind him.
"Hmph, you idiot, just wait until you find the Taoist magic, I'll make you taste what it feels like to have your prize slip away, hehe."
The fairy sneered inwardly.
"Alright, fellow Daoist, since you don't want to wander alone, then let's go together."
And so, the Qin beast floated and wandered in front, while the foreign point of light followed closely behind.
This time, Qin Beast seemed to be very lucky. He soon encountered a ball of light, but Qin Beast thought it was too small, so he nimbly dodged it.
"Huh? What is this idiot doing? Why is he avoiding that Taoist technique?"
"My goodness, finding a Daoist technique in this space is incredibly difficult! The first time, it took me dozens of days!"
The little fairy was puzzled.
While drooling as he watched the departing ball of light, he continued to follow Qin Beast closely.
"Hmph, I don't care, today I'm going to steal his Taoist magic, make him leave empty-handed, and hide under the covers crying his eyes out, hahaha."
"Sigh, why is this ball of light so small?"
Soon, the Qin beast encountered another ball of light, but they were all very small.
Qin Shou was preoccupied with the enormous ball of light he had first encountered, so he wasn't particularly interested in seeing any other balls of light.
Then, with another nimble flash, it avoided the ball of light and continued to drift forward.
“............”
Despite her confusion, the fairy maiden still followed closely behind the beast Qin.
One, two, three, four, five...
The fairy was completely bewildered until the Qin beast dodged the eleventh ball of light.
How could this idiot have encountered so many orbs of light in less than half a day?
What's even stranger is that he avoided them one by one... ???
"Also, why do I feel like it's not him looking for the orbs of light, but rather the orbs of light looking for him?"
The fairy maiden was filled with doubt, "Just which immortal power does this person belong to, a peerless genius?"
"Oh, you big ball of light, where are you?"
"Daddy misses you so much, come to Daddy's arms, okay?"
