Chapter 785: Enlightenment
Ji Chang thought that the pursuit from the Northern Ice City would continue, but they did not change their original marching speed, and the repulsion of Zong Jiupeng made them more confident, unless they encountered thousands of troops, the five of them were enough to deal with any strong opponent.
At this point, Zhang Daxian is convinced.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Chi came out of the tent and saw Huang Qitai sitting alone by the bonfire, which was almost burning, but he had no intention of adding firewood to it.
Zhang Chi walked over and added some wood, and said with a smile: "It's not cold?"
Huang Qitai said meaningfully: "I have long been numb. ”
Zhang Chi nodded: "Thank you!" He was referring to today's rescue of the Snow Girl.
Mr. Wong did not respond.
Zhang Chi said: "Lao Ji and Lao Cao are both human spirits, and I think you seem to be depressed." Zhang Chi decided that the one in front of him was the Netherworld Ancestor, although he used mimicry to imitate Huang Qitai vividly, but his usual speech was still a little abnormal.
Huang Qitai said: "They won't care about a little person like me. ”
Zhang Chi said: "Feng Mantang is obviously diverting attention. ”
Huang Qitai said: "People's hearts are selfish, under the premise that other clans have broken their covenants, the Feng clan still sticks to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, not because they are noble, but because once the Great Wall of Ice and Snow is breached, the first thing Netherworld enters is the Cold Mountain Plateau, and other clans will do the same." ”
Zhang Chi said: "There are still people who have a sense of the overall situation. He knew that many people took the initiative to go to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow to protect like Qin Luzhu.
Zhang Chi took out the wine bag, unscrewed the cork and handed it to Huang Qitai, who shook his head and said that he would not drink it.
Zhang Chi took a sip of wine and said, "Is there really energy in those ice crystals?"
Huang Qitai asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it?"
Zhang Chi said: "If you don't believe it in the past, you can come here and find that anything magical can happen." ”
Huang Qitai said: "Why did you come to this place?"
Zhang Chi didn't speak, he did have a reason why he had to come, but he didn't want to tell the other party.
Huang Qitai said: "The second time you came, have you seen the Tongtian Sutra?"
Zhang Chi secretly wondered in his heart, he obviously came from the outside world, and there were not many people who knew the Heavenly Scripture, could it be that he was also one of the seven founders of the Mystic Bureau? Zhang Chi suddenly thought of someone, and his heart was a little excited, and at the same time a little frightened.
Huang Qitai said: "Haven't answered my question yet. ”
Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." He didn't lie, he hadn't seen anything of the Scripture.
Huang Qitai said: "Haven't you seen it? That is, someone will help you, otherwise how can you come and go freely?"
Zhang Chi was shocked, feeling that he couldn't hide any secrets in front of him, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded and said, "Gao Fang." ”
Huang Qitai said: "What is the relationship between you and Zhang Qingfeng?"
Zhang Chi had begun to sweat on his back, vaguely guessing the identity of the other party, if he really guessed it, he was afraid that this world would be in big trouble.
"You don't have to say it. Huang Qitai broke a dead branch and threw it into the bonfire, and the flames were reflected in his indifferent eyes, but people couldn't feel the slightest temperature.
Zhang Daxian hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and said in a low voice: "He is my grandfather." ”
Huang Qitai said: "No wonder!" Zhang Chi saw that there was no bitter hatred in his eyes, so he relaxed a little and continued: "My mother is Chu Wenxi. This is the first time he has admitted to outsiders who his mother is.
"I didn't ask you. ”
"I thought you'd ask. ”
Huang Qitai said: "Smart boy, go to sleep." ”
Zhang Daxian was a little relieved, but he didn't listen to his arrangement, and handed the wine bag to Huang Qitai again.
Unexpectedly, Huang Qitai actually took it this time, took a sip, and said softly: "Is Zhang Qingfeng still alive?"
Zhang Chi shook his head: "It's dead!"
"How did you die?"
"Car accident!"
A stunned expression appeared on Huang Qitai's face, this answer obviously did not convince him, he took another sip of wine and said, "It's too simple. ”
Zhang Chi looked at Huang Qitai, and already decided in his heart that he should be Xiang Tianxing, who had mysteriously disappeared back then, that is, his grandfather, wasn't Zhang Qingfeng his best friend?
The two sat by the bonfire like this, Huang Qitai stopped asking questions, and Zhang Chi did not speak.
The snow was falling quietly again, Huang Qitai raised his head and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, thoughtful: "Have you ever seen Dihua?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
Huang Qitai said: "My hometown is next to a big river, both sides of the river are full of flowers, every summer and autumn at the turn of the day, it is the day when the flowers are in full bloom, on both sides of the river, the white flowers are dense and dense, you can't see the edge, when the autumn wind rises, the white flowers flutter with the wind, like tonight." ”
......
He seemed to see the big river, the boundless white flowers, and the slim red backs in the flowers.
The clothes are fluttering, and the skirt corners are flying.
Yiren looked back and smiled, and all the beautiful scenery was eclipsed in an instant.
He rocked the red boat from the reeds and approached her.
"What's your name?"
Yiren glanced at his boat quickly, and said with a smile: "Chu Hongzhou." ”
......
When everyone got back on the road, the snow still hadn't stopped, Huang Qitai became more and more silent, and he didn't say a word, even if Zhang Chi talked to him, he didn't respond.
Cao Chengguang thought that Lao Huang was afraid, and quietly said to Zhang Chi: "This yellow cripple seems to be reluctant to go to the Great Wall of Ice and Snow with us. ”
Zhang Chi said: "How come?"
Then he drooped his face and hung his head, and he couldn't beat a single stuffy fart with three sticks. ”
"People don't talk and do your business?"
Cao Chengguang sighed and said: "I look depressed, the twisted melon is not sweet, I think you still treat him as a fart, let it go quickly, let's risk our lives this time, why should you bother others." ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Cao Chengguang had a rare sympathy.
The Snow Girl said: "People didn't recruit you, it's in your way? If he leaves, you will do those chores?"
Cao Chengguang's small eyes narrowed, looked at the snow girl and said, "Let Zhang Chi do it, Zhang Chi do it well!"
Xue Nuyan couldn't hear the malice in his words, pursed her lips and smiled, and stretched out her hand to put it on Cao Cheng's bald head, Cao Chengguang instantly felt a cool air penetrate from his head, and his body was covered with hoarfrost, looking like a dwarf dragged out of the noodle tank.
Zhang Daxian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cao Chengguang's embarrassed appearance, who made him open his mouth. Zhang Chi said: "I have seen Snow White, I have also seen the seven dwarfs, and this is the first time I have seen Snow White." ”
Cao Chengguang shivered a few times in succession, and then sneezed more than ten times in a row, only then did he change his strength slightly, and said tremblingly: "...... Yes...... Do you have...... Compassion...... Heart...... Anyone else does it...... Sneeze ......"
The Snow Girl leaned on his shoulder with her flably arm, looked at Cao Chengguang with a smile and said, "This is the end of being disrespectful to the old." ”
At this time, the sleigh in front slowed down, and Ji Chang said, "It's time for the ice tower." ”
Zhang Chi raised his eyes to look, but saw a group of ice towers appear in front of him, these things that look like ice towers are actually ice prisms, not artificially carved, but naturally formed special landforms.
Zhang Chi stopped the sled, got off the sled, and tried to establish contact with the lightning, but after trying for a while, he still couldn't feel the presence of the lightning, which is normal, after all, his perception ability is much weaker than the lightning, as long as the lightning can sense him, he will take the initiative to come and meet, not to mention that they have agreed to meet here before, according to the convention, the lightning usually arrives in advance to wait, but this time it was too late.
The Snow Girl told Zhang Chi that there were ice prisms all over here, but it was the windiest and strongest place on the Cold Mountain Plateau.
Ji Chang has been here for ten years, and has done an in-depth investigation on the climate of the Cold Mountain Plateau, adding that often when the wind blows, it is at the turn of day and night, and once the spiritual light flashes, the wind will rise here. According to this rule, there was still about an hour before the wind started, and they had two options, one was to pass through this area as soon as possible within an hour, and the other option was to find shelter in the same place and set up camp and wait for lightning to come and rendezvous.
Cao Chengguang said: "It's not easy, let Zhang Chi dig a few ice caves, and the Snow Girl will seal the entrance of the cave, no matter how strong the wind is." ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "The frozen head is really smart. ”
Cao Chengguang smiled bitterly: "My brain is so frozen into ice cream, can I still be smart?"
Zhang Chi decided to make preparations with both hands, digging a few snow holes was not a trouble for him, and after a while, he dug out two big holes, intending to let the three old guys together, he and the snow girl together.
Huang Qitai watched silently, in fact, when Zhang Chi and Zong Jiupeng were fighting, he had already seen Zhang Chi's ability to dig holes on the spot, this kid was not digging holes, he was using heat energy to melt ice and snow.
"You can manipulate the true fire of Samadhi. Huang Qitai, who had been silent all day, took the initiative.
Zhang Chi said: "The carving insect skill makes you smile." ”
Huang Qitai said: "This is not a small skill of carving insects, you seem to be still practicing the true fire refining body, right?"
Zhang Chi nodded, knowing his eyesight, his strength could not hide from him.
Huang Qitai said: "Qin Chunqiu is your master?"
"Confiscate me, my master's name is Huang Chunli. "Zhang Daxian actually has a master who is Xie Zhongjun, but Lao Xie is really despicable and shameless, and he feels ashamed to mention it, and when he goes out of here in the future, Zhang Chi has no intention of recognizing this black-hearted master.
"Huang Chunli?"
Zhang Chi said deliberately: "Have you heard of Huang Xichen?"
Huang Qitai was silent, of course he remembered.
Zhang Chi said: "I also passed away." ”
Huang Qitai said: "Everyone will die. ”
Huang Qitai said: "Your foundation is good, but unfortunately I can't find the right way, if I have a talent like you, I have been frozen for a thousand years, and after recovery, my strength can shatter the void and crisscross the universe." ”
Zhang Chi was slightly stunned in his heart, feeling that Huang Qitai should be nodding himself, and took the opportunity to ask for advice: "I can only absorb the fire value, and I have no reaction to the aura." ”
"It's not that you don't have a reaction, it's that you can't find a way, it's like a person who was born a vegetarian and thinks he can't touch the meat, but if he loses his rations and makes him hungry to the limit, then he will be hungry. ”
Zhang Chi thought for a while and said, "You mean, let me exhaust the firepower in my body?"
"It's never run out, right? People are like a spring, if you don't press the spring to the extreme, how do you know how far the spring can rebound?" Huang Qitai looked up at the sky and said: "In fact, the thing people don't know the most is usually themselves, especially men like us who don't like to look in the mirror." ”
At this time, the Snow Girl walked over to this side, Huang Qitai stopped talking, and limped into the distance.
The lightning did not arrive at the appointed time, and the wind was already coming, and they all burrowed into the ice cave that Zhang Chi had dug in advance to take shelter from the wind.
Huang Qitai offered to enter the ice cave with Zhang Chi and Xuenu, and let Cao Chengguang and Ji Chang together.
Ji Chang was puzzled by this combination, and sat in the ice cave with Huang Qitai, the two looked at each other, Ji Chang was puzzled: "I thought Lao Huang was going to be with us." ”
Cao Chengguang said: "I don't understand this, that kid has been overindulged in the past two days, and he is probably afraid, so he secretly let Lao Huang go over to accompany him, just enough to take a rest, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, this snow girl looks so pure, but she is so hot in private, Zhang Chi is really blessed." ”
Ji Chang laughed and said, "You be careful of being heard by her and freeze your old popsicle into an old popsicle." ”
Cao Chengguang glanced at Ji Chang with disdain and said, "At least I'm hard enough, you can only get over it now, right?"
Ji Chang said: "Seriously, the Netherworld Ruins are not for you. ”
"It's for you!" Cao Chengguang glared.
Ji Chang didn't bother with him: "The longer I stay, the more lonely I feel, there is no difference between my life here and when I was in the deep well, what is the meaning of such a day even if I can live for a thousand years?"
Cao Chengguang said: "It's better to die than to live, I'd rather stay here and be drunk and dream of death, than go back and be afraid." ”
Ji Chang said: "You just say so, in fact, your heart is also very empty, otherwise you won't catch up, although I didn't leave the recipe for winemaking, but the family property I left you is enough for you to squander, Lao Cao, Lao Cao, a place that does not belong to you, you will never have a sense of belonging." ”
Cao Chengguang actually forgot to refute, closed his eyes after being stunned for a while, and said, "Do you say that there is a mother in the netherworld?"
The ice cave where Zhang Chi and them were located was very warm, Zhang Chi decided to try it, and Huang Qitai offered to stay in the ice cave with them, the main reason was to protect Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi was secretly grateful in his heart, it seems that after so many years, he still remembers the word family affection.
Zhang Chi began to consume the heat energy in his body according to his suggestion, and the special geographical environment of the Cold Mountain Plateau could deplete the heat energy in his body.
Zhang Chi asked the Snow Girl to use the method of dealing with Cao Chengguang to treat herself and accelerate the consumption of heat energy in her body, the Snow Girl was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Zhang Chi's insistence, she still agreed.
