True Immortal of the Netherworld

Xu Yang spent some money to rent a piece of land in Xishan and built a small brewery. He brewed his own wine according to the brewing method and recipe of "Eighteen Falls", the family's traditional wine, and sent the wine to shops and restaurants in the town for sale.

A few months later, "Eighteen Down" became famous throughout the town. Xu Yang earned some money. In order to see Xiao Lin'er often, Xu Yang bought a small house in the west city of the town and lived there.

The house is not big, and there is a small courtyard in front.

In the small courtyard of Xu Yang's house.

"Brother Xu Xiaoxian, I see your yard is bare, why don't I help you plant some flowers and plants?"

"Of course that's fine, I'll go to the flower and plant shop in town to pick out some you like, and we'll plant them together."

"I prefer the wild flowers in the Western Mountains, which are ordinary and natural beauty."

"Okay then, we will go to Xishan tomorrow to transplant some."

The next day, the two pushed a cart and transplanted many unknown wild flowers from the Western Mountains.

After working for a long time, the two began to transplant wild flowers into Xu Yang's small courtyard.

Looking at the unknown yellow, red, purple and other wild flowers in the courtyard, Xiao Lin'er said: "The small courtyard looks much better now."

"It's all thanks to Xiao Lin'er. Look, your hands are all dirty."

After hearing what Xu Yang said, Xiao Lin'er looked at her palms and found that they were indeed stained with a lot of soil.

Xiao Lin'er stretched out her mud-stained fingers and lightly tapped Xu Yang's forehead, and a mud fingerprint was smeared on Xu Yang's forehead.

"It looks like Brother Xu Xiaoxian is a land fairy."

"I think Lin'er looks like a little flower fairy."

"Haha, haha." The laughter of the two rippled through the small courtyard.

…

Time flies, summer passes and autumn comes.

For several days, Xu Yang didn't see Xiao Lin'er going out. After asking around, I heard that Xiao Lin'er's family had hired a doctor. Xu Yang found out from the doctor that Xiao Lin'er had contracted the disease and was recuperating at home.

The night is deep and sleepless.

Not knowing how sick Xiao Liner was, Xu Yang paced back and forth alone in the small courtyard.

Seeing that the flowers he and Lin'er planted together were gradually withering under the autumn wind, Xu Yang felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"Double Red Beans. Autumn Thoughts": Autumn is cool, the moonlight is cold, and the lingering shadows in front of the flowers under the moon are hurt. I can't see the fragrance when I lower my head. It's still late at night, I'm falling asleep, and in my dream I'm wearing a beautiful woman with white jade makeup. Looking back and smiling often.

Ten days have passed, and Xiao Lin'er still hasn't gone out. Xu Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and it was inconvenient to visit Xiao Lin'er at home, so he found the doctor who treated Xiao Lin'er.

In a medical clinic in a small town.

The doctor who treated Xiao Lin'er said: "Miss Lin'er was infected with a little cold. Unfortunately, her body has a special constitution. After taking the medicine, her body became resistant to the medicine, and her body temperature never went away."

When Xu Yang heard this, he became even more worried about Xiao Lin'er's condition, and hurriedly asked: "Is there any good way to treat Xiao Lin'er?"

"There is a good way. Just take the best snow lotus from the extremely cold place to suppress the heat in the body. But such precious medicinal materials as the best snow lotus are not available in the small town. You can only use ordinary snow Lianhua is temporarily suspending Xiao Lin’er’s condition.”

"Where can I find the best snow lotus?" Xu Yang asked eagerly.

"The best snow lotus grows on Bingfeng Mountain, five hundred miles away from the town."

"Please give me a rough map. I want to go to Bingfeng Mountain to pick snow lotuses."

…

One month later, winter has arrived.

A large river running from north to south has been frozen. On the frozen river, a young man wearing a raincoat was walking alone, it was Xu Yang. At this time, Xu Yang's exposed eyelashes and hair were dyed white by snowflakes.

In the distance, a towering snow-colored mountain peak disappeared into the clouds.

"Ahead is Bingfeng Mountain. I've been out for more than a month. I wonder how Xiao Lin'er is doing." Xu Yang thought about it in his mind and looked back at the way he came.

Only a series of long footprints were left on the frozen river. In the distance, a snow-covered ridge outlines smooth, soft lines. Xu Yang seemed to see it, that was Lin'er's face.

"Double Red Beans. Winter Thoughts": The snow is vast, and the plain silver makeup makes the river full of traces when I look back. A pretty face in the distant mountains. My heart is green, I remember Weiyang, and I still remember the fragrance of red sleeves. The beauty is like Linlang.

…

On a hillside of Bingfeng Mountain.

Looking up, "Bingfeng Mountain is so big, where can I find the best snow lotus?"

At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power not far away. Using the Light Body Technique, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and sneaked towards the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

After getting closer, I turned sideways and took a closer look. It turned out to be a snow-white spirit crow. This crow is quite similar to Lin'er's spiritual crow in reality, but it's just a little smaller.

The snow-colored crow suddenly turned its head towards where Xu Yang was and let out a crisp whine.

Xu Yang turned around and stood out from his hiding place.

"Little Snow Crow, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Xu Yang said with a smile, and then walked over.

Xiaoxueya saw Xu Yang appearing, with a look of panic in his eyes. The two wings flapped twice, then fell down with a "clack" after taking off.

When Xiao Xue Ya spread her wings just now, Xu Yang found that one of its wings was not very flexible. It was probably injured.

Xu Yang took two steps forward, took out a spiritual fruit, and placed it in front of Little Snow Crow.

"Looking at your injury, you haven't eaten for a few days."

Xiaoxueya looked at the spiritual fruit on the ground and then at Xu Yang. Then the little chicken pecked at the spiritual fruit like rice. After a while, only the bare core was left.

"Little Snow Crow, let me help you heal your injuries." As he said that, Xu Yang extended a palm to Little Snow Crow.

Xu Yang touched Little Snow Crow's wings with his hand, and sure enough one of them was sprained.

Using one hand to move his skills, a light red halo appeared on Xu Yang's palm. Then he gently stroked Little Snow Crow's injured wings. A warm and soft spiritual energy was injected into Little Snow Crow's injured wings.

After a moment, the little snow crow spread its wings and flew up. The sprained wings are no longer a problem.

The little snow crow circled happily above Xu Yang's head and chirped a few times, as if thanking Xu Yang for his help.

Seeing that Xiaoxueya was fine, Xu Yang smiled. He thought in his mind that this snow crow could be found in Bingfeng Mountain, so he was no ordinary bird. He might know the location of the top-quality snow lotus.

Xu Yang took out the top-quality snow lotus pattern given by the doctor.

"Little Snow Crow, do you know where this kind of snow lotus grows?" Xu Yang pointed at the snow lotus on the screen and said.

The little snow crow landed on the pattern and jumped back and forth on the pattern. Then he nodded towards Xu Yang.

"Please take me to find this kind of snowdrop."

…

A month later, in the medical clinic in the small town.

A young man with a haggard face had a white snow crow standing on his shoulder. It was Xu Yang who had returned from picking the best snow lotus.

"Doctor, how is Xiao Lin'er's condition?" Xu Yang asked eagerly.

"Although Xiao Lin'er's condition has stabilized, she still occasionally feels fever and discomfort." The doctor replied.

Hearing this, Xu Yang felt a stone fall in his heart.

Xu Yang quickly took out a jade box and handed it to the doctor.

"There are three top-quality snowdrops inside. Please show them to me."

The doctor quickly took the jade box and opened it to take a look. A cloud of cold air hit my face, and three white flower branches lay quietly in the jade box.

"It is indeed the best snow lotus. You are so lucky, little brother."

"This is all thanks to Little Snow Crow." Xu Yang said, grinning happily and touching Little Snow Crow on his shoulder.

"One top-quality snow lotus flower is enough to cure Xiao Lin'er's body heat syndrome."

"Well, only you can cure Xiao Lin'er's body heat syndrome, and the remaining two flowers will be given to the doctor as reward!"

When the doctor heard about it, he realized there was such a good thing. Each of these top-quality snowdrops is rare.

The doctor patted his chest and said with a smile on his face: "Put it on me. In three days, Miss Lin'er's illness will definitely be cured."

…

Three days later, inside Xu Yang's small house.

Xu Yang was about to go out to the medical clinic to inquire about Xiao Lin'er's condition.

"Is Brother Xu Xiaoxian at home?" A call like a wind chime came into the house.

"Isn't this Xiao Lin'er's voice?" Xu Yang couldn't hide his joy and quickly came to the courtyard door and opened it with both hands.

A slim little girl in white stood in front of the door.

"Xiao Lin'er, are you all healed?" As he said that, Xu Yang looked up and down carefully and saw that Xiao Lin'er's face was white but rosy, and her complexion was full.

"Yes, I heard from the doctor, thank you for the snow lotus collected by brother Xu Xiaoxian? Xiao Lin'er came here to thank you." As she said this, Xiao Lin'er blinked her big eyes as clear as autumn water. He stretched out his hand behind his back and handed a bunch of candied haws to Xu Yang.

"Thanks!"

Xu Yang took the candied haws and took a bite, feeling an incomparable sweetness pouring into his heart. For Xu Yang at this time, this bunch of candied haws on a stick is the most delicious thing in the world.

…

The seasons have changed, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yang discovered that Xiao Lin'er in the dream always looked twelve or thirteen years old. But I am growing up day by day. Xu Yang repeatedly wanted to remind Lin'er of his real name, but was afraid of disturbing Lin'er. Over the years, what Xu Yang thinks about most every day is to make Xiao Lin'er happy. Every smile from Xiao Lin'er is the best gift to Xu Yang. As for what Xiao Lin'er is in Xu Yang's heart, whether it's a friend, a sister, or a confidant, Xu Yang himself doesn't know.

In the dream, a period of time flies by like an arrow.

Xu Yang's temples in the mirror were dyed with a little white silk.

It’s spring time again.

"Xiao Lin'er, how about I take you to a fun place today?" Xu Yang said kindly.

"Okay, where will Xu Xiaoxian take Lin'er?"

"You'll know when we get there."

The western slope outside the town.

"That's the courtyard in front." Xu Yang said, pointing with his hand. A courtyard is built against the mountain. At the foot of the hillside is a lake. The clear lotus in the lake forms a large area, and a number of hibiscus stand pretty among the green lotus leaves.

The two came to the courtyard.

I saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the door of the courtyard with the words "Tianxiangzhai" written on it. On both sides of the door hangs a small couplet carved on rosewood. On the left, it says: The dancing sleeve brings out the fragrance of ink; on the right, it says: The book opens with poetic charm.

…

It turns out that Xu Yang wanted to wake up Lin'er safely from her dream. In Xishan, a location similar to Lin'er's residence was chosen, and the money earned from running a winery in the town over the years was gradually invested in the replica construction of Lin'er's residence in Tiangui Sect.

In the replica "Tianxiangzhai" pavilion.

Xu Yang and Xiao Lin'er sat opposite each other at the stone table with a pot of fragrant tea, and they drank and chatted. The old stories of Jiazi are endless. Every time I talk about it, Xiao Liner smiles from ear to ear. Before you know it, the sun is in the middle of the sky.

"I invite you to come here today. I have a gift for you." As he spoke, Xu Yang took out a white paper fan from his arms with trembling hands. "I have always treasured this paper fan, so I will give it to you as a gift."

"Thank you Xu Xiaoxian." Xiao Lin'er said, taking the paper fan happily.

When I opened it, I saw a few lines of small words popping up on the page. "Butterfly Loves Flowers": Spring arrives in a pool of green jade leaves. The green water is long, and my longing is still unresolved. The wind is rustling in front of the whispering pond, and the beauty in the mirror in the water is fading. The lakeside is surrounded by smoke and willows in the morning breeze. The flying catkins rustle, when will the melancholy rest? When I arrive at the small building at night, the wind is like snow, and the sky is like the bright moon at this moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin'er fell into deep thought. Suddenly her hand holding the paper fan loosened, and the paper fan fell to the stone table with a "clack".

Seeing this, Xu Yang hurriedly picked up the paper fan on the table and said, "Don't you like it?" When he looked up, their eyes met, and both sides seemed to see something in the other's eyes.

"Xu Yang, you are...Xu Yang!" Xiao Lin'er stared at Xu Yang with her big eyes and said.

Xu Yang heard Xiao Lin'er calling his original name. After a few years of hard work, he finally achieved his wish. His whole body trembled slightly, and two lines of old tears came out of his eyes...

The scenery in front of him gradually blurred, and a large thick fog suddenly appeared around him, drowning everything. With a frog-like croak, the thick fog cleared, and the scenery in front of us changed.
