Chapter 8: The Cold-Faced Man
On the mountainside of the stacked mountains, a cloud-piercing arrow of the Shuofeng descendant hit the green wolf that jumped into the air. The breath of the green wolf disappeared into the gloomy sky in an instant, and the confident Shuofeng Descendant was sure that the green wolf had died under his Fuxi arrow, just waiting for the green wolf's body to fall freely on the snow.
The Windwindside looked up to see when something would fall from the sky. Even if the green wolf jumped to a high position, it would only be a moment before it fell. But the Celestial Descendants waited for a long time, and still didn't see anyone fall from the sky. Could it be that he shot the green wolf out of the sky and out of the sky with an arrow? It is rumored that the Fuxi Arrow was originally named after a meteorite that could be shot from the ground in the universe, and it does have the ability to shoot arrows out of the sky, but the Shuofeng Descendants have not yet created that kind of creation. Just as he was carefully checking the situation in the air, he suddenly frowned, as if something incredible had happened. He carefully scanned the dark clouds in the sky with his mind, and was sure that the aura that had disappeared before had actually appeared in the air again!
With a "pop", thunder sounded in the sky. In the midst of the blizzard, there was thunder, and a thunderbolt lit up the darkness in the dark clouds, and disappeared in an instant like a white horse. But the very center of that thunder and lightning was the specific location where the Celestial Descendants sensed the breath of the green wolf. Even though he could sense the breath of the green wolf, he didn't know what the green wolf had done in the clouds. Moreover, the aura of the green wolf has changed, and it is similar to the previous breath.
Just as the Wind Descendants were wondering, thunder rang out in the sky again. The Wind Descendant's pupils dilated, and it was because a bolt of lightning turned into a galloping wolf and ran towards him! Fast as lightning, no, it was lightning in the first place! The electric wolf thundered and ran back and forth in the sky, but the target was him. The Wind Descendant hurriedly put his hands on the ground, rolled three times on the snow, and left his original position. The electric wolf swooped down on where he had stood, blasting a hole in the snow in an instant. A nearby tree was also struck by lightning, and it instantly exploded a hole in the trunk. The trunk of the tree had been blown up in flames, and the snow on the leaves had been shaken off by the shaking of the tree. A tree that burns a flame is like a candle lit in the cold wind, standing tall in this wind and snow with a faint flame.
While the Windless was in amazement, thunder rang out again in the sky. This time, the Shuofeng Descendant drew his bow and shot Fuxi's arrow into the sky, wanting to see what was going on. As a result, after Fuxi's arrow shot into the sky, a circle of thunder and lightning appeared in the sky, spreading out like ripples in the water, and then disappeared in an instant. The Windswept could sense that the Fuxi arrows they had shot were gone, but the thunder in the air was still there. Another thunderbolt, this time flashing into the eyes of the Wind Descendants. The Celestial Descendants subconsciously covered their eyes with their sleeves to avoid being hurt by the light of the thunderbolt. But the thunderbolt did not disappear when it fell to the ground, and outside his sleeve, he could clearly see the blue light emitted by the electric current, and the scattered electric current was constantly jumping to the ground. A powerful breath, which was also the center of the thunder and lightning, suddenly descended from the sky in front of him. The Windswept slowly lowered his sleeves, and in front of him was a werewolf covered in lightning and with a blue glow in his eyes.
The Lightning Man waved at the Windless, motioning for him to attack, apparently giving a dismount. The Wind Descendant also understood the other party's gestures, and knew in his heart that the werewolf he had just despised actually had such a magical ability. It seems that he will not be able to reach the top of the mountain in a short time.
In Pei'an City, Li Jing was on his way to the place where cultivators were hired. The snow on the ground had reached half of his knees, and there were many innocent people on the road who had been frozen, and the expressions of the fierce and struggling expressions on everyone's faces could still be seen when they were frozen. The hiring place is like a teahouse, and the windows on the second floor are open, so the second floor can be said to be empty. The downstairs door is closed, which means that someone has closed the door when the snow is coming, and it seems that there must be someone in it.
Li Jing arrived at the door and knocked hard, but only some snowflakes fell from the wooden door, and the sound was not loud. Li Jing shouted inside, "Is there anyone inside?" I am Li Jing, the commander of the forbidden army. ”
After a while, there was still no response. Li Jing took out his sword, slashed at the crack in the door, and then inserted the sword into the crack in the door and pried the door open. After priing open the door, Li Jing found that the first floor of the original employment site had been covered with ice and snow, and it seemed that this place had not been spared. He walked into the room and slammed the door shut. When the door was closed, the wind and snow immediately froze the door again. He walked around the house and saw many signs hanging at the front desk, and after being frozen by the wind and snow, he could barely see what was written on the signs. He took down a wooden plaque, wiped the snowflakes on it, and saw that the word "silver" was written on the wooden plaque. He recalled that the mercenary tasks here were all distinguished by level, the silver level was an intermediate difficulty, similar to dealing with a large number of monsters or monsters, and the lowest was the bronze level. There are also a few tables in the lobby with wine jars on the tables. In this way, the people here should have just walked not far, after all, there is still frozen wine in the wine jar. He saw a back door open in the distance, and from where the wind and snow had come in, and he went there.
As soon as he walked out the back door, he was temporarily blinded by the wind and snow in his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man dressed in white walking on the snow. Li Jing seemed very happy, thinking that the person who could be safe in the wind and snow must be a cultivator, and it happened to be the person he was looking for. Li Jing didn't think about it, he walked towards the man in white, waving his hand and shouting, "That fellow Daoist, please wait!"
Li Jing shouted to the man in white, and the man in white also heard it and stopped. Li Jing got closer and closer to the man in white, but he also noticed that something was wrong. The man in white was not dressed in white, but his whole body was white, perhaps because his body was covered in wind and snow. There is also the fact that the other party has no hair, let alone the same color as skin to see. It wasn't until Li Jing ran behind the man in white that he found that the other party was a person whose whole body was covered by wind and snow, and he was surprised that he could still walk after being buried in the snow like this? At this time, the man in white turned his face, and this appearance frightened Li Jing into distraction, and immediately took a few steps back.
It turned out that this man in white was actually a person whose whole body was made of snow, and he had his own perception like a human. But this snowman has no facial features, and he doesn't even know whether the face looking at Li Jing is front or north. This snowman walked slowly towards Li Jing like a living person, and did not speak, which made Li Jing feel frightened.
"Who are you?" Li Jing shouted at the other party, but the other party did not respond, "If you come over again, I will do it!" Li Jing also wanted to use words to deter, but it didn't work. The snowman approached him, and Li Jing didn't know what kind of creature the other party was, and the instinct of defense was to cut off the opponent's arm with a sword. The snowman's arm was chopped into the snow, and it immediately melted into the snow on the ground. However, the snowman did not fall because of this, and there was no pain. When the wind and snow blew, his arms began to grow slowly. When he saw that the other party's arm could grow again, Li Jing's heart was already extremely nervous, and he really wanted someone to come out and explain all this.
After the snowman regained his arm, he began to walk towards Li Jing again. No matter how Li Jing slashes this time, the snowman's body will recover immediately. The constant slashing made Li Jing's aura disordered, and he who had been spreading the barrier had actually been consuming physical strength. Li Jing's realm was still very low, and his barrier couldn't last long. After losing his stamina, his barrier began to thin and a hole appeared. It was the moment this loophole appeared that the snowman seemed to notice it. The snowman immediately spewed ice and snow from his hands, and it seemed that he was going to freeze Li Jing into an iceman. Li Jing hurriedly used his sword qi to sweep away the wind and snow, but his sword qi only swept away the wind and snow, and there was still wind and snow that took advantage of the void and entered his barrier, freezing his shoulder. In an instant, Li Jing felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He couldn't deal with the monster that appeared out of thin air in front of him, so he could only retreat first. The snowman didn't move fast, and when Li Jing fled, he was still walking slowly.
Li Jing fled to a room with closed doors and windows, and after making sure that the snowman was not chasing him, he checked his frozen shoulder. His shoulders were still red, even purple, a sign of frostbite. Suddenly, there was the sound of a snowman walking again, and when Li Jing was about to be vigilant, the door behind him suddenly opened! A hand covered his mouth and pulled him closer to the room.
Although the windows are covered in wind and snow, you can still see the shadows outside the windows. The snowman was passing by the window, seemingly looking into the house. After standing for a while, the snowman left. Li Jing in the room watched this scene before taking away the hand that was covering his mouth. Li Jing stood up and saw that it was a human being who had pulled him closer to the room! Li Jing was very happy in his heart, there was more than one person in the room, and there were more than a dozen cultivators standing and sitting. When they saw Li Jing, they saluted one after another, and at the same time explained the snowman to Li Jing.
A cultivator, who was also holding a sword, said, "I didn't think you would be alive. We don't know where that monster snowman came from, so it's called the Cold Face Man for the time being. They have no life, but they can move around like people and have a sense of hearing. Whenever our bodies are exposed, they freeze us with snow and wind. ”
Li Jing temporarily knew some things about the snowman, and also knew that there was more than one cold-faced man, and it seemed that he was looking around the city for the humans who were still alive. If the doors and windows of any house are not closed, once they enter the house, they will take the lives of the people in the house. That kind of monster, like a scavenger, continues to wipe out the remnants of life.
Li Jing glanced at everyone, and then introduced himself: "Below is Li Jing, the commander of the forbidden army. I don't have talent, I don't have great power, dare to ask which of the people here are talismans who can understand the art of enchantment?"
The cultivators in the room glanced at each other, after all, talisman is a rare profession, and most of them still start as martial artists and sword masters. When no one answered, a man sitting in the corner replied, "I know a little bit below, I don't know what I can do?"
Li Jing was slightly disappointed when he heard that only one person in the entire room had answered that it was the talisman master. He wanted to find a group of talismans to spread the barrier throughout Pei'an City, so that the barrier could keep the wind and snow out. Now that there is only one runeman, I am afraid that I can only create an enchantment the size of a house.
"Is it just Your Excellency? Is there anyone else? I was ordered by Princess Jiang Mengsheng to find a talisman to open an enchantment for Pei'an City to block the sudden death-killing snowstorm. If there is only one person, I am afraid that the strength is not enough. ”
As a result, the man who was drinking in the corner said, "It's just the barrier of a city, and I'm enough for this kind of thing." ”
In Li Jing's view, such big words are boasting about Haikou and not measuring his own strength. Li Jing walked towards the person who spoke, and the cultivators in front of him all made a way. Li Jing walked to the corner and found that there was a polite scholar holding a brush and writing on the table. His pen has no ink, but his pen can write shiny words on the table, which glow for a certain amount of time and then disappear. Before, Li Jing also felt that the other party was a fool, and it could be seen from this move that the other party was indeed hiding his strength. Just when he wanted to bow to the scholar, the scholar said first.
"I can do it alone, but I don't want to. ”
Li Jing was surprised in his heart, what kind of thinking is this guy, if the people in the city are not saved, is he still worthy of being a resting person? In addition to improving one's own ability, the essence of a cultivator is to punish evil and promote good, and to help the world and save people. He saw what the medical saint was doing in Dongyang City, and thought that cultivators should be people like Xiang Hua Huichun. The scholar looked to be in his thirties, and seeing the doubts in Li Jing's heart, he continued: "It's not that I don't want to, but I want to ask." Now the demons rule the Qi country, and the Qi country is considered the world of the demons. So what are we in the eyes of the demons? If we are his people, what are the demons doing now, why don't they come out and help his people? Or do the demons not care about our human lives at all, and let us fend for ourselves. Just now you also said that you were ordered by Princess Jiang Mengsheng to come to the talisman master. I have long heard that when I was in Jiang Guo, Jiang Mengsheng was a nobleman who loved the people like a son, and I might come out to help her in the face of her. But you're going to have her come to me and tell me for yourself whether she's on the side of the humans or a lackey of the demons?"
Hearing that the scholar was insulting Jiang Mengsheng, Li Jing was naturally very angry, and pulled out his sword and pointed at the scholar: "Keep your mouth clean! The princess's name is not your turn to instruct! You are just a talisman, if you really think that the demon is a harmful race, why don't you go and destroy the demon race, and talk big here?"
When the scholar heard Li Jing's answer, he saw that the other party was also a person with character, and he still resisted the demon in his bones, but he was not strong enough to be forced to be with the demon clan. And when the people around saw that Li Jing didn't know this scholar, one of them stood up and said, "I'm afraid General Li doesn't know him yet, right? He alone can be worth hundreds of Fu Masters, and even Huang Qi in the Golden Six Saints at that time will respect him for three points, and he is still a person who can be equal to the soul master of the Yin Yang Sect." There has never been a title of saint among the talisman masters, but there is a ranking in the world, and the four highest of them have become talisman saints, namely piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. And this talisman master is none other than the book saint among the four great talisman saints - the wonderful pen scholar, Han Xizhi. ”
Li Jing was shocked, it turned out that one of the legendary Fu Saints was actually in Pei'an City, but his mood was very worried, and he couldn't speak for a long time with a surprised expression.
And on the coast of Haizhou City, the four people including Yu Gu also met the cold-faced people. It is also impossible to kill with a cold weapon, even if the body is blown into snow all over the ground with qi, the cold-faced person will still return to its original state.
"Has this world become an extremely cold hell? How can there be such an immortal creature alive?" When the four of them were dealing with the cold-faced people, the sound of the fight also attracted more cold-faced people to get closer. They had no way to deal with the cold-faced people, so they could only find a way to retreat first. Yu Gu looked at the wind and snow in the sky, and thought of his comrades who had not seen him in the naval barracks for a long time, and I didn't know what his situation was. So Yu Gu took the other three to the barracks first.
The naval barracks were also in a tragic situation, and there were many people who were frozen at the scene, some of whom were comrades who were familiar with fish intestines. There were no sheltered houses in the entire barracks, and there was no breath of living people. Nothing alive can sense it. The fish intestines touched the frozen friend, and the heart was full of backs. Not far away, a large number of cold-faced people are coming, and the middle of the sea let the fish intestines let go of their obsessions first, and rush to the country of Qi first. But Yu Gu is kind-hearted and will not let anyone who hurt his friends leave alone. He pulled out the Neptune halberd on his chest, held it in his hand in the form of the change, and said to the other three, "No one has the right to deprive others of their lives at will. These monsters, I want them to pay for my friends' lives!"
