Chapter 799 Cold Tea
The wind and snow are like knives.

The protective divine light passed over the body, rubbing out circles of pale golden halos.

Even if there were occasional tentative shadows approaching, as soon as they touched the faint light, they would immediately shrink back as if burned, and disappear silently in the wind and snow.

"It really never ends..." Nangong Wan No. 2 whispered.

She was talking about the small house with dim lights in the snow and wind before her.

They have been climbing for a long time.

Logically speaking, we should have already reached the top of the snow mountain.

But they couldn't tell them apart, because the snow-capped mountains today are no longer the same as they once were. They no longer have the shape of a mountain, let alone the height of a mountain.

Under their feet was a black cliff that rose endlessly upward.

And they can only rely on their own means to climb up this slightly inclined high wall with difficulty.

Height and distance have lost their meaning as a measure of scale.

The scale of time seems to be the same.

All the spiritual timekeeping instruments were out of order, so he could only count his heartbeats and pulse to keep track of time. He roughly knew that he had been climbing for about half a day.

In fact, according to their level of cultivation, although climbing the mountain wall was difficult, and various illusions did affect their progress, the speed of high-level cultivators like them was definitely not lower than that of ordinary people, and they could reach the snow mountain in half a day.

But apparently, that was not the case.

The mountain top seemed out of reach.

Nangong Wan No. 2 is used to this feeling.

"It's about the same as when those things came," she said.

Liu Sheng nodded: "That makes sense."

“Maybe we’re just cycling through time climbing, so we can’t see the end.”

Nangong Wan No. 3 also understood, "So, these houses may be the afterimages of the past. It's just that because we are now in the abyss, countless realities overlap here."

As he was speaking, the house in front slowly faded away.

The lights faded away little by little in the wind and snow, until they flickered and disappeared.

however.

"Did you... hear anything?" Nangong Wan No. 3 couldn't help but say.

"I heard it." Number Two nodded solemnly.

In the sound of the wind, one could always hear vague whispers.

The echo seems to be near and far away, as if it is right next to my ear and yet also seems to be coming from a very far away place. Mixed in with the whistling sound, it gives me a dreamlike feeling.

Liu Sheng naturally heard it as well.

She always felt that this was familiar...

"grown ups……"

It seems to be shouting like this.

Liu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart seemed to be tightened by something.

The next moment, the black snow under my feet was suddenly illuminated by a warm glow.

That was projected from the window.

The wind and snow suddenly died down.

They were all blocked by the house that suddenly appeared in front of them.

A door appeared right in front of Liu Sheng.

The door panel is simple, but the material and thickness are extraordinary.

Just enough to block out the wind, snow and general weirdness.

Liu Sheng subconsciously took half a step back.

However, before she could decide whether to go around or knock on the door, it opened by itself.

"grown ups!"

A familiar call suddenly sounded, with a choked cry.

Then, a soft body pounced towards Liu Sheng.

At this moment, the pitch-black blizzard suddenly faded away and turned into pure white snowflakes that slowly fell.

In the light, tower blocks rose up and countless colorful banners fluttered in the air.

Liu Sheng was slightly startled, then he untied the shield and let the warmth fall into his arms.

"grown ups……"

The girl in his arms raised her head and looked at Liu Sheng, her eyes filled with tears.

Familiar eyebrows, familiar breath.

However, the hair that was once as black as ink has been stained with a hint of white frost by the years.

Liu Sheng's throat tightened slightly, and a long-lost sourness arose in his heart.

Finally called out her name:
"Danjin."

Dan Jin's shoulders trembled slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I thought...I would never see you again."

With a trembling voice, Dan Jin coughed twice, slowly stepped back, and wrapped the blanket tightly around himself.

"Come in quickly." Liu Sheng frowned.

"Yes, come on, come in and talk..."

Dan Jin made way for Liu Sheng to walk into the house. The two Nangong Wans behind him looked at each other and followed him into the house.

Only then did Dan Jin see the two people behind Liu Sheng. They looked exactly the same, and one of them was sitting in a wheelchair. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The thick door was closed, keeping the wind and snow out.

Dan Jin coughed twice again.

Liu Sheng frowned slightly, reached out for her wrist, and frowned as soon as his fingertips touched it.

She had studied medicine in her small world, and later when she was studying for a degree in biology, she also learned some human medicine. Now, taking all the knowledge together, Dan Jin's situation... is not good.

"How long have you been like this?"

Dan Jin smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "I can't remember it clearly."

"But people always get old...it's normal to have some minor ailments."

Liu Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "How long have I been away?"

Dan Jin looked at her with a look of melancholy in his eyes. After a long moment, he sighed softly.

"My Lord, it has been a hundred years."

Liu Sheng suddenly paused, and his heart seemed to skip a beat at that moment.

a hundred years……

She looked at Danjin, her throat tightened slightly, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Dan Jin noticed the change in her expression and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, trying to hide the emotions in his eyes with a smile. Then he looked at the two people behind Liu Sheng and hesitated slightly: "Who are these two...?"

Liu Sheng came back to his senses and nodded calmly: "This is my teacher Nangong Wan."

"Oh...Senior Nangong."

Dan Jin seemed to understand, but was also a little surprised.

It seems that I didn't expect that adults are so powerful that there are teachers.

"This is Miss Danjin, my...sister." Liu Sheng thought for a moment and introduced her to Senior Sisters Nangong.

Danjin was very happy when he heard it.

He was so happy that he became anxious and coughed violently a few times.

Liu Sheng gently stroked her back.

Only then did I realize that Danjin's back was bony and I could clearly feel his spine and shoulder blades.

"Hello, Miss Danjin." Nangong Wan No. 2 and No. 3 said in unison.

"You're welcome, teachers."

Dan Jin waved his hand, still with a gentle smile on his face, but there were some tired lines at the corners of his eyes.

"Ahem, let me think... I need to pour some water..."

After saying that, he turned around slowly, his steps a little slow.

She walked to the cabinet, fumbled around for a moment, and whispered to herself:

"The cup... should be here..."

As he spoke, he took out three coarse porcelain teacups from the cupboard and poured hot tea from the pot.

White mist rose up, covering her slightly pale face.

She handed it to Liu Sheng first, then to Nangong Wan No. 2, then bent down and handed the last cup of tea to Nangong Wan No. 3.

Nangong Wan No. 2 held the tea, his eyes fell on the pot in Dan Jin's hand, and suddenly asked: "Is this one with array patterns added?"

Dan Jin smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the adult's design - a heat preservation magic circle, which the adult made back then and is still in use now!"

Liu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the mist rising from his hands, and was a little dazzled for a moment.

"How are the others...?"

Dan Jin paused for a moment, then slowly said:
"Yueya has already set out to explore the way."

"Exploring the way?" Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Dan Jin nodded gently, his voice deep, "Xianzhou No. 1 was finally completed after you left, so she said she wanted to go and take a look. Someone has to take this step..."

"It's been decades since I left..."

Liu Sheng lowered his eyelashes and slowly stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingertips.

This is indeed Crescent Moon’s character.

But...is Xianzhou No. 1 really perfect enough?

Is it too risky to set sail rashly?
She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"Then, Zhu Jiuqing... was at Tian'er Lake... Sizzle..."

Before Dan Jin finished speaking, his voice suddenly became intermittent, like distorted audio, mixed with "crackling" noises.

"Sizzling, sizzling... Baosheng... sizzling, sizzling..."

Her figure shook violently, like a mirage with poor signal, and the picture began to blur, tear, and distort beyond recognition.

Finally, with a snap, everything was cut off.

Liu Sheng held the cup of hot tea and stood in the vast black snow.

Finally, the remaining warmth in his hand completely cooled down and turned into a handful of black snow that scattered in his hand.

"What exactly is going on?"

Nangong Wan No. 3 frowned, shook off the sticky black snow in his hands, and wiped it with a handkerchief.

Nangong Wan No. 2 looked at Liu Sheng with a deep gaze. After a while, he sighed softly:

"This is... the past and the present overlap."
