The so-called Snow Wind City turned out to be nothing more than an illusion that deceived itself and others.

When Sheng He left the house, grandma was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Sheng He, she quickly called out, "Little girl, where are you going? The meal will be ready soon. Eat first and then go out and play!"

"Xiaozhi, come and play with this sister for a while!"

The little girl called Xiaozhi looked no more than five or six years old. She ran over from the kitchen, holding a straw ball in her hands, and said in a baby voice, "Sister, come and play with the ball."

Sheng He smiled, took the grass ball from Xiaozhi, and took out a beautiful sky blue crystal from the storage bag and shook it in front of Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, does this look good?"

“It looks good. It looks good.”

Xiaozhi clapped her hands, then trotted over and hugged Sheng He's thighs: "Sister is pretty too."

Sheng He touched Xiaozhi's hair, squatted down and put the crystal into Xiaozhi's hand.

"Sister, give this to Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi, tell sister where sister's clothes are, okay?"

Xiaozhi opened her eyes slightly, she gently touched the crystal in her hand, then reluctantly returned the crystal to Sheng He and pointed to the yard beside her.

"This is my sister's beautiful stone, Xiaozhi doesn't want it."

"My sister's clothes are there. Grandma just washed them and they are not dry yet. You can't wear clothes that are not dry. You will get sick."

Xiaozhi's little face was wrinkled and her little hands were shaking constantly.

Sheng He couldn't help laughing, he picked up Xiaozhi and walked into the yard.

Maybe it's because the weather is good today, the yard is full of clothes and quilts drying in the sun.

Sheng He saw his robes at a glance and was about to walk over when he suddenly heard a sigh behind him.

"Why bother?"

"Isn't it good here? Why do you want to leave?"

Suddenly, his arms felt empty, and a sky-blue crystal fell to the ground with a "ding!" sound.

Sheng He bent down to pick up the crystal and walked straight to his clothes.

Holding the wet robe in his arms, Sheng He turned around and looked at the city lord who was holding Xiaozhi.

“Is this place okay?”

"If you were good, how could you not even save your own daughter?"

The city lord's face changed and he sighed deeply again.

"When did you find out?"

"I found out as soon as I woke up. I wasn't sure at first, but when I saw the drama you put on on the street, I knew I was right."

How could an old man in his sixties go into the snow alone to look for his grandson?

How could such a bustling city appear out of nowhere in the vast expanse of ice and snow?

The most important thing is that the residents of the city are too enthusiastic towards the city lord, even to the point of being deliberate.

Sheng He walked closer to Xiaozhi, stuffed the sky blue crystal in his hand into Xiaozhi's arms, and bowed deeply to the city lord.

"Sheng He once again deeply thanks the City Lord for saving my life."

"It's just that I have no intention of disturbing the peace of the city. I came here only for Taixu Land. Therefore, I hope the city lord can return my partner to me."

"partner?"

The city lord chuckled and placed the twig on the ground.

"Since you came here alone, how can you find a companion?"

"Or..." Three blue grasses appeared in the city lord's hand, "Do you think they are your partners?"

"yes."

Sheng He's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

The small courtyard in front of him disappeared in an instant. In the white snow, the cold north wind whistled past. Sheng He was only wearing a single piece of clothing, and the wound on his lower abdomen seemed to begin to ache slightly.

Another gust of wind mixed with snow blew towards him, and the biting cold instantly spread to his limbs and bones. Sheng He was trembling with cold, but he still remained bent over and motionless.

It took so long that Sheng He's hands and feet became numb. Just when she thought the city lord would not agree, a fiery red bead with warmth was thrown in front of her.

The next moment, the warm sun shone all over my body, and grandma shouted loudly in the kitchen: "City Lord, Xiaozhi, Miss, the meal is ready, come and eat!"

"Let's go, let's eat first."

The city lord picked up Xiaozhi again and walked towards the kitchen.

Sheng He did not move, and shouted stubbornly: "This place does not belong to me, please return my partner to me."

The city lord stopped, turned around and looked at Sheng He in confusion.

"Why bother? It's just a few stalks of bluegrass."

"It's not just a few blue grasses. They have helped me a lot. I can't just watch them stay here..."

Sheng He paused for a while and didn't continue speaking.

The Snow Wind City is an illusion, and the fragrance of the blue grass can just trigger an illusion. If the three little rascals were left here, it is not difficult to imagine what their fate would be.

"If the city lord really needs the blue sky grass, I am willing to bring the seeds to the city lord."

"Seeds? Haha."

The city lord sighed, reached out and gently touched Sheng He's hair.

"You look a lot like my daughter. Are you really not going to stay? I've seen your fate. Your luck has been changed. In the future, you and everyone around you will die a violent death."

"Stay here, I will protect you. At least you can live your life without worries."

Sheng He raised his head and looked directly at the man in front of him for the first time, and said word by word:

“Wherever the will leads, there is no distance that cannot be reached; neither the mountains nor the sea can stop it.”

The city lord re-examined the little girl in front of him, and after a while, he chuckled softly.

"The distance between the mountains and the sea cannot limit it."

"I don't need the seeds of the blue grass, good boy, go ahead."

The city lord handed the blue grass to Sheng He and asked casually, "That coat, you..."

"He gave me the coat and the compass. He is doing well now, and so is his wife. The city lord can rest assured."

The city lord smiled knowingly and waved his hand at Sheng He: "Forget it, forget it. Go quickly. Grandma's meal is ready. I'm going to eat roast chicken with Xiaozhi."

Three blue grasses turned into hairpins and fell into Sheng He's hair. Sheng He looked at the city lord's lonely back, lowered his head and softly said "Yes."

When she raised her head again, she saw endless ice and snow in front of her. She was still wearing the thick black coat, and Li Huozhu was lying quietly in front of her.

Sheng He took out a compass from his storage ring. This time, the compass pointed steadily to the east.

…

The city lord slowly walked to the table, on which were two plates of vegetables and a large plate of roast chicken. He remembered that roast chicken was his grandma's specialty.

"Dad, An An loves roast chicken the most. Why doesn't Dad let Grandma make roast chicken for An An?"

"Dad, why don't you speak? Why haven't you come to see An An once in all these years?"

The city lord raised his head and saw the whole house was silent. No one knew where Grandma and Xiaozhi had gone. The streets were also quiet and even the sound of the wind could not be heard.

The Snow Wind City, which was bustling with people just now, now looks like a dead city.

But the voice in his ear continued to ask:

"Dad, have the seeds I planted sprouted?"

The city lord lowered his head, tears rolling down his cheeks, and the entire Snow Wind City shook violently with his sobs.

Finally, the Snow Wind City disappeared bit by bit. In the cold snow, the city lord covered his face with his hands and cried inconsolably.
