It was already winter, but there wasn't much snow to be seen.
Originally, the further north one went, the easier it was to see snow. What was interesting was that Shanghai's winter weather was cool and refreshing, but in Hangzhou, it was snowing lightly. The snowflakes fell on this heaven-like city, decorating it even more white and enchanting.
Mofan also understood why Xinxia wanted to come here. She was different from him, a country bumpkin who wholeheartedly wanted to go to a big city. Perhaps what she wanted was this kind of tranquility and beauty, a mountain, a river, a bridge, and a city.
Xinxia's school was also very close to West Lake. When Mofan arrived in Hangzhou, he was not in a hurry to pick her up. Instead, he brought her around with great interest.
They slowly walked past the long Su Causeway. On both sides of the causeway, there were willow trees swaying gently. Further away, there were sparkling waves, and even further away, there were scattered mountains. There were peaks, temples, pavilions, and on the other side, there was a forest of tall buildings, which were reflected in the lake.
After passing through the Su Causeway, they arrived at the scenic area of Leifeng Pagoda. Mofan raised his head to look at the new pagoda, and looked at the old site. Just as he was thinking about something, a person who looked like a local beside him mysteriously said, "Little brother, this is your first time here right? Hehe, what you see is the base of the old site of Leifeng Pagoda. I heard from the old people that a white snake was once dug up here! "
"White snake? How big was it?" Mofan asked with great interest.
"It was this big." As he said that, the tanned local made a hugging gesture.
"That big???" Mofan was also stunned.
Damn, such a big snake, it was already a demon, okay?!
"Isn't that right? At that time, no one was able to kill it. In the end, it was a certain great master who almost exhausted his life force to seal it …" The local looked left and right, as if he was talking about some big secret.
"Couldn't even kill it, that's so awesome. Then where was it sealed in the end?" Mofan took the opportunity to ask.
"Well, it might be in the new Leifeng Pagoda, or under the broken bridge, or in the Three Lakes Mirroring the Moon, or near the White Causeway. You see, I have a guide here. Not only does it have an introduction to this legend, it also has guides to other scenic areas. One book is five dollars. I can tell that brother is a person who likes to explore and seek the truth. Seeing that you may be the fated person, I sell it, and the guide to you, I sell it....
"Four dollars, that's quite cheap. However, this big brother, I feel that the story of this big snake isn't particularly attractive. If you turn this big snake into a human, and turn it into a beautiful woman, and then meet a young master on the broken bridge, and the two of them become entangled with each other. In the end, a great master couldn't stand it anymore, and sealed the female snake spirit under the Leifeng Pagoda … Print out a small booklet of this story, and ask someone to draw a few beautiful pictures. Many young ladies and young men will buy it. Seeing that we are fated, I'll sell the copyright of this story to you for a cheaper price, nine dollars! "Mofan raised his eyebrows and said.
The tanned local was stunned. He felt that this young man's words were quite reasonable. The problem was, how did he end up having to pay for his own things?
Xinxia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Mofan and the man who was selling the map talk nonsense.
After bluffing back and forth, the two of them ended up not being able to sell their things.
After seeing that the man who was selling the map had left, Mofan continued to push Xinxia around the pagoda, and said, "This person doesn't have any common sense. He hasn't even heard of the new legend of the White Snake."
"I haven't heard of it either," Xinxia said.
"Oh, there isn't one here? I thought the history of this place was completely the same. This kind of legend should be the same as well, "Mofan was a little surprised.
"I don't understand what you're saying?" Xinxia said with a confused face.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm a man from another world. There's no magic there. Although there's the Qin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and so on there, it seems that because the animals turned into demons, some of the legends are inconsistent, "Mofan said.
Xinxia couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not a kid anymore, how can I believe your words?"
"Even you don't believe me, it seems like I'll never be able to prove that I'm an alien," Mofan said with a bitter smile.
"But you're still you," Xinxia said.
Mofan was slightly stunned. Originally, he only wanted to use this kind of method to laugh at himself, but suddenly, Xinxia's words made Mofan ponder deeply and feel relieved.
Seeing that Mofan was silent, Xinxia thought she said something wrong, and softly changed the topic, "Brother Mofan, one of my history teachers said that the people of Bo City are very special."
"How so?" Mofan asked.
"Do you remember Geyser Spring? It has a very, very long history, it can be traced back to 200 AD," Xinxia said.
"Is that so? Then after nearly two thousand years, there must be a lot of stories surrounding Geyser Spring … Then why do you say that the people of Bo City are special?" Mofan said.
"The teacher said that the people of Bo City are very likely the protectors of Geyser Spring. Bo City used to be a small village, and under the orders of some ancient king, they protected Geyser Spring for generations. However, as time passed, the protectors continued to multiply, turning the village into a town. After many years, the town became a city. Outsiders came in, the city changed owners, and the feudal society was overthrown … Bo City became what it is now, and the so-called protectors have long since disappeared. Or perhaps, the entire people of Bo City are protectors … "Xinxia said seriously.
Mofan listened attentively, and couldn't help but think of the people of the Black Vatican.
The Black Vatican obviously had some kind of goal in mind when they destroyed Bo City. Could it be that the disaster of Bo City was related to the history of the protectors?
However, this was probably something that happened two thousand years ago. Was it really that important to have a guardian or not?
Was their goal the Geyser Spring?
The Geyser Spring was in his hands. Did that mean the thing that the Black Vatican wanted had always been in his hands?
Damn, wouldn't that put him in danger?
Those bastards of the Black Vatican were really capable of doing anything. Massacring an entire city. Mofan still remembered the days of the Blood Alert clearly.
"What else did your history teacher say?" Mofan asked.
"He was only speculating based on some historical records. He said that if you want to know the truth, you have to look for it in a tomb. However, the undead creatures in the tomb are quite terrifying. Until now, no Magician has dared to set foot in the mysterious tomb," Xinxia said.
"Tomb, what tomb?" Mofan continued to ask.
"There's a tomb in the Ancient Capital. It's the most famous place for undead creatures in our country. Brother Mofan, don't you pay attention in class? "
