Chapter 35: The Land of the Extreme Cold
In front of the mountain gate, Hyun Gyu sat on the branch of a tree and nibbled on the fruit in his hand, while watching with great interest Futian under the tree was probing his brain and looking around looking for him.
Xuan Gui finished biting the last bite of the pulp, wiped his mouth, and flicked the kernel in his hand, drawing a precise parabola in mid-air, and with a "bang", it just landed in the middle of Fukuda's head.
Futian was suddenly smashed, and there was an "ouch" in his mouth, and he was about to get angry and scold who was not long-eyed, but when he looked up, he saw his boss sitting on a tree looking at him.
The hearty and innocent young man had a childlike naughty smile on his face at the moment, and his eyes flashed with the light of a successful prank, blazing and triumphant.
Futian squeezed out a wry smile, hurriedly walked over two steps and raised his head and said, "Boss, I have found out, early this morning, Tang Xiaobai and the four of them set off to the extremely cold place in the back mountain." ”
Hyun-gyu jumped off the tree and walked with his legs up. Fukuda hurriedly caught up and said with a smile, "Is the boss planning to follow?"
Hyun Gyu glanced at him with a smile, "What, you want to go together?"
Futian hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it can't be done, my little cultivation can't resist the biting cold." ”
"Then what nonsense are you talking about, get out. Xuan Gui raised his leg and was about to kick, Fukuda's eyes were sharp, and he ran away with a smoke when he smeared oil under his feet, and did not forget to turn around and shout, "The boss is brave and heroic, I will definitely be able to subdue that Tang Xiaobai when I go back, and I wish you a victory and success..."
Fukuda's voice drifted far into the air, causing Hyungui to chuckle. will be a sycophant.
......
On the other side, Tang Xiaobai and his party had already come to the extremely cold place in the back mountain at this moment. Even though everyone's cultivation is not low, they still can't help but shiver when they suddenly experience the biting cold in this August weather.
"It's easy to get lost here, so let's take our maps and we'll split up and meet here in three hours. After going all the way to the center of the extremely cold land, Tang Xiaobai told everyone.
This was decided yesterday after a detailed discussion. The Arctic Lands are too extensive, and if you want to complete the task as quickly as possible, only four people can occupy one direction and search separately to maximize efficiency.
Han Xiangke sighed, and confirmed for the eleventh time, "Isn't it true that the apprentice should not be accompanied by the teacher?"
Tang Xiaobai rolled his eyes and ignored him, and continued, "Remember, if you find the ghost grass, you will put a blue signal flare. If it is difficult, put red flares. ”
With that, they prepared to disperse.
"Wait. Jing Yu remembered something, and suddenly spoke, while taking out four fiery pills from the storage bag and distributing them to everyone, "This is, the Cold Pill." When it is critical, you can temporarily save your life. ”
The three of them took it, Han Xiangke lightly picked it up and looked at it between his fingers, threw it directly to Tang Xiaobai, and said casually, "The balls are too big, and I panicked because I was afraid that I would choke on them." It's better to give it to the apprentice, remember to return the favor to the teacher in the future. ”
Tang Xiaobai's face darkened, and she just wanted to say no, but Han Xiangke didn't give her a chance to refuse, waved her hand, and went straight to the northwest corner that belonged to him.
Hold your fists in the wind season, "Thank you, Brother Jingyu." With that, he also departed.
Jing Yu looked at Tang Xiaobai's frowning brows in his eyes and said with a smile, "Actually, Master, he is the burden, and the heart is you." ”
Others may not know it, but he saw it with his own eyes.
That day, she and Tian Qianyi fell unconscious after the battle, and when the master carried her back, her face was gloomy like never before. It has been ten years since he went up the mountain at the age of eight, but this is the first time he has seen such a master.
Later, the eldest elder hurried over after getting the news, locked up in the house with the master and talked for a full hour, and immediately ordered Xu Zhuogong and Tian Qian to be driven down the mountain after going out, and the second elder thought about it behind closed doors.
Therefore, their master seems to be the most non-existent of the five elders, but he always feels that the master is actually the one who has the most weight in the sect.
Jing Yu could see that Tang Xiaobai was very different from before, and he didn't even respect his master as much as before, but after all, a gentleman should not talk about the rights and wrongs of others at will, so he never asked about it.
Maybe everyone has a decision in their hearts. In short, Jing Yu gently asked, "Protect yourself." ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded in response, and the two said goodbye to each other, and dispersed to find ghost grass.
......
Although the land of extreme cold is an extremely cold place, it is not without grass.
After all, Penglai was also a spiritual vein treasure place of the immortal family in the Nether, even if it is now with humans, the spiritual veins are not broken in the end, so in the bare and cold stubborn stone cracks, there are still a lot of spiritual grasses growing tenaciously, and you need to search carefully so as not to miss a corner where ghost grass may grow.
Tang Xiaobai carefully searched for the unique red color of the ghost grass in the cracks of the rocks, and did not mind that there was a figure behind him, and followed all the way before she and Jing Yu separated.
Continuing on, I suddenly saw a 100-meter-high stone peak, stretching endlessly, with no end in sight, and I am afraid that I need to turn over to continue the search. Tang Xiaobai searched for an hour, and at this time, her fingers were already a little red and stiff from the cold, but the stone peak was extremely steep, causing her to fail to climb it after two consecutive attempts.
Hyun Gyu didn't know what she was doing here, but she had been bored all the way, and her patience had long been worn out. After all, he's here to find someone to fight, and he's not a stalker.
At this time, seeing that Tang Xiaobai couldn't climb the rock, he was also a little anxious, so he automatically stood up and coughed lightly behind her to attract attention.
Tang Xiaobai really looked over in response, and saw that the person who followed was Xuan Gui, and hesitated a little, "What are you doing?"
Hyun Gyu didn't answer her question, and simply got straight to the point, "If I help you climb that stone peak, would you be willing to fight with me?"
Tang Xiaobai looked at the height of the stone peak and said without thinking, "Yes." ”
Xuan Gui was overjoyed, he thought it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily, so he hurriedly stepped forward, his hand naturally wrapped around her waist, and after saying a word to help her steady, he lightly exerted force under his feet, and easily flew up to the stone peak.
Tang Xiaobai stood on the stone peak and looked down, thinking that it was still the same bare rock as before, but he didn't expect that there was a cave. The flowers and plants here are more lush than before, and at the foot is a lake with clouds of mist steaming on the surface of the lake, which looks like a hot spring.
Hyun Gyu grabbed Tang Xiaobai's wrist and said, "Now you can fight with me." ”
Tang Xiaobai withdrew his hand and bowed, "I lost." ”
Hyun Gyu was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?"
Tang Xiaobai said, "First, you have not felt the slightest discomfort since you entered this extremely cold place, and second, when you took me to climb this rock, I could rise in the air without the help of a sword. With just these two points, I know that your cultivation is profound, and it is beyond my reach. So, I threw in the towel. ”
After Tang Xiaobai finished speaking, he thanked him and was about to go down to Shifeng, Xuan Gui realized that he had been tricked, he was angry and annoyed, and rushed to her back and yelled, "You stop Lao Tzu!"
