The day after Gu Yan came back, Su Tang made a dessert banquet.

​​Waffles, osmanthus cake, Lingmi pie, milk tea, Lingguo pudding - they are not dishes, but upgraded versions of desserts.Bai Zhi looked at the table full of desserts, her eyes widened: Senior sister, when did you know how to make so many varieties?

Su Tang served the last plate of pudding and took off his apron: I knew how to do it in my previous life.Just don’t have time to do it.

She sat down opposite Gu Yan and served him a bowl of milk tea: drink.Replenish the body.

Gu Yan lowered his head and drank milk tea without saying anything.After finishing one bowl, he filled another bowl for himself.Su Tang noticed that his hand holding the milk tea was very steady - much more steady than yesterday.

Delicious.Gu Yan said.

Bai Zhi added in a low voice beside her: Senior sister, can you make desserts every day in the future?I don't want to eat the porridge I cooked anymore.

Su Tang flicked her forehead: The more you practice, the more blurry you will be.Starting tomorrow, I will teach you.

Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up.Fat Orange squatted at the table with a steamed spiritual fish in front of him, eating without even raising his head.The little green dragon was placed next to the milk tea bowl. He secretly took a sip and retracted his head due to the burn.Xiaoxue floated out of the sword and sat on the edge of the table, holding an osmanthus flower in her little hand and smelling it - she didn't eat it, but she liked the smell.Shen Yebai sat next to Su Tang and ate pudding quietly. He tasted everything, not much, but chewed every bite carefully.

Yunyin and Yun Yi are also there.Yunyin took a bite of the muffin and his eyes lit up: Su Tang, with your skills, you can open a restaurant.Yun Yi nodded beside him, his mouth full of Lingmi Pie and speechless.Wan Tang sat next to Yunyin and took a sip of milk tea. There was a hint of softness in her crimson eyes.Yin Wuxie stood behind Wan Tang, holding a bowl of rice and eating it more deliciously than anyone else.

There were eleven people crowded into one table - nine monks, two demons, and a sword spirit.Xiaoxue is neither a human nor a demon, but she occupies a position.

Su Tang looked at the room full of people and said nothing.She thought of the ice fields in the far north, the fragments in the ice caves, and the writhing mist of light in the mother body.These people are here eating muffins and have no idea what's going on in the outside world.She didn't want to tell them.She just wanted them to keep eating muffins.

After eating, Su Tang called Gu Yan to the living room on the second floor.

Shen Yebai followed behind, holding a jade piece in his hand - the map of the mother body given by Wan Tang.Light snow floated on Su Tang's shoulders, and his little hands grasped her collar.Fat Orange squatted on the table, and the little green dragon sat next to the teapot.

Su Tang took out the cloth bag from the baggage and placed it on the table.There were twelve fragments in the cloth bag, and the dark red light shone through the cloth layer, casting a dim red glow on the table.She opened the cloth bag and the fragments rolled out one by one and lined up on the table.

"Gu Yan, when you were in the ice cave, did you feel that the fragments were 'summoning' something?"

Gu Yan was silent.Gray eyes stared at the fragments, tapping his fingers on the table: Yes.Not just a summons.They are talking.Not with sounds, but with thoughts.

He raised his head and looked at Su Tang: They said 'come'.

Su Tang clenched the tea cup.

Speaking of fragments.Not come to me, come to me.The fragments are conscious - no, the energy vortex in the fragments has a core, and the core is summoning the fragments to gather and the source of energy.

Xiaotang, what is the core of the fragment?

The energy vortex in the fragments has one source - the mother body.The matrix is ​​the source of all fragments, and the energy fluctuations it generates will affect all fragments.If the mother body is active, all fragments will be activated and fall at the same time.At that time, instead of dozens of pieces, there will be hundreds or even thousands of pieces falling at the same time.Mortal towns can disappear overnight.

Su Tang’s fingers turned white as they pinched the edge of the tea cup.

Hundreds of pieces of debris fell simultaneously.She thought of the child in Qingxi Town who was directly under the debris, and of the three thousand people Lin Wantang saved by blocking the debris with her body.She didn't want that to happen again.

"Xiaotang, can you clear the mother's body in advance?"

Can.But the host needs to find the mother body and use the power of the anchor to suppress its activity.There is currently only one known mother body, located in the deepest part of Tianwaitian.The host needs to go in person.

Su Tang stood up and paced in the living room.The mother body is in the deepest part of the outer world.Where is the deepest point?She has been to Guixu, the Blue Mountains, and the Spring of Life.Those places are not the deepest.The deepest point is further north of the Spring of Life, an unknown area where the roots of her anchor point cannot extend.

Wan Tang may know.Su Tang turned around. The books in Tianji Pavilion were richer than we imagined.

When Su Tang went to find Wan Tang, Wan Tang was sorting out files in the study room of Tianji Pavilion.

Yin Wuxie stood behind her, holding a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand.Wan Tang didn't drink it this time and put it on the table to cool down.Her long dark red hair was spread over her shoulders, and there was a shallow wrinkle between her eyebrows - a result of thinking, not worries.

Wan Tang, I need to check all the records about the 'matrix' in Tianji Pavilion.Su Tang didn't beat around the bush.

Wan Tang put down the file in his hand and looked at Su Tang.There was no surprise in the crimson eyes, only a sense of calm that had finally come: the mother body.My grandma mentioned this word.She said one day you will come and ask.

She took out a wooden box from the drawer.The wooden box was larger than any of the previous ones, half an arm's length and a span wide.The pattern on the lid is not the cloud pattern of Tianji Pavilion, but a pattern that Su Tang has never seen before - a circle of concentric circles with a point in the center, like a bull's-eye and a whirlpool.

This was left to me by Lin Wantang, my grandma.The sealing condition is 'Anchor Point Query Matrix'. When you spoke just now, the seal was automatically released.

Wan Tang pushed the wooden box in front of Su Tang: there were three things in it: a map, a key, and a sentence.

Su Tang opened the wooden box.

A map.It's not paper, it's a piece of jade, very thin, translucent, with frayed edges, as if it's been touched many times.The jade piece is engraved with dense lines.Su Tang lifted the jade piece and looked at it - the lines became three-dimensional under the light, like a relief sculpture.It was a map of Tianwaitian, more detailed than any she had ever seen.Guixu, the Blue Mountains, the Spring of Life, the ice field to the north of the spring, and the ice field to the north - it's all blank.There is a red dot on the edge of the blank space, and next to the red dot are written two small words: Matrix.
