Chapter 424: Ice Lake
The purple sea of fire scorched the Shushan Mountain Range, this flame, it looks like a flame up close, but it looks like a sea from afar.
"But the icy flames that melted the Twilight Sword in an instant failed to ignite the mountains, only burned some trees, why is that?"
Xue Yan frowned slightly, thinking.
At this time, the Sword Spirit Beast God spoke, and it smiled arrogantly and uninhibitedly: "It's ridiculous! I think I am a dignified beast god, a descendant of Shennong, who has dominated the world for tens of thousands of years, but I didn't expect that after becoming a sword spirit, I would have to flee in a hurry with a yellow-haired girl! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!!"
"It's noisy! Can you be quiet?"
Xue Yan snorted coldly, and the beast god was stunned on the spot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It is a dignified beast god, and it was taught a lesson by a yellow-haired girl?
And the Heavenly Principle, and the Royal Law?
But then, Xue Yan's words made it insightful, what is the principle of heaven and what is the law of the king!
Xue Yan said in a deep voice: "After fighting with Emperor Yan, your vitality was greatly damaged. Since then, you have gone through many hardships, and your skills have long since disappeared. Although after becoming a sword spirit, his skills have recovered, but after all, the time is not long. With your current strength, it is not enough for you to call yourself a god. To know oneself is to know oneself, and to recognize one's enemy is to know one's other. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles! I am short-sighted, but you are very knowledgeable, let me ask you, what is this purple flame?"
When the beast god heard this, he was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, there was a little less arrogance in his tone.
It replied, "Purple Qi is coming from the east, and that is the Emperor's flame. It's a flame with feelings. What the owner who will only burn the flame wants to burn. ”
"Do you have a way to crack it?"
Xue Yan asked.
"Yes. For now, there are two options. One is to merge stronger feelings into the ice and freeze the flame, and the other is to break the contract between the owner of the flame and the flame and return the flame to its origins. ”
The beast god replied.
"This ......" Xue Yan hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "No matter which method it is, it is more difficult to implement than ascending to the sky." ”
"That's giving up? What about your momentum? Where did you go?"
The beast god scoffed.
"Eighteen miles west of Shushan, there is a lake, called Glacier Lake. When the sun sets, the lake freezes. Right now, it's dusk, and the sun is still less than ten minutes away. It's time to get over now. ”
Xue Yan's eyes were cold and she said.
"Frozen lake?
The beast god was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, could it be that the battle situation has not started, and its master, Xue Yan, is already familiar with the things within a hundred miles of Shu Mountain?
The time and place are favorable, and it has become the final battlefield, the ice lake!
"Hmm. ”
Xue Yan nodded slightly.
"Oh, how big is this ice lake, and it can hold the flames that a god realm powerhouse breathes?"
The beast god asked.
"The ice lake is not big, with a radius of two hundred miles, but it is connected to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is connected to the sea, this purple flame can burn again, no matter how strong the cultivation of the divine realm is, it can't burn the Yangtze River and the sea, right?"
Xue Yan smiled slightly.
"That's true. But only the right time and place are not enough to defeat the opponent. People are still needed. ”
The beast god said.
"Hmm. Xue Yan clenched her sword fiercely and said lightly, "Harmony is the real unity of man and sword between you and me!"
......
Glacial lake.
The sun set, on the endless icy lake, Zhang Wei walked slowly, his hands on his back, surrounded by purple flames, the flames melted the ice, turned into water, and not long after, the water automatically condensed into ice.
"There is such a legend about the glacial lake. Legend has it that during the Warring States period, there was a very beautiful woman who married a farmer, and the two were very affectionate. The woman gave birth to a boy for the farmer, who joined the army in order to make a good life for his wife. This walk is ten years. Ten years later, the husband returned triumphantly and became a general, but his temperament changed greatly, he was addicted to alcohol, and when he was drunk, he did something to his wife, beating and scolding, scolding her for being an old pearl, and his wife was heartbroken and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake. Only then did the man realize that he had done something wrong, and he passed a year in a daze, and a year later, on the same day, at the same time, he went with his wife. From then on, the lake would freeze at this moment. Hence the name of the glacial lake. ”
Zhang Wei said eloquently.
"It's really a poignant and realistic mythical story! Could it be that this woman is the ice god, Luo Qian?"
Xue Yan smiled coldly, above this ice lake, the cold air of the Twilight Snow Sword became heavier.
"Oh, you actually know Luo Qian, it seems that you have indeed done your homework in advance. ”
Zhang Wei smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his right hand, a purple flame lotus flower ignited.
After an instant, this lotus flower slowly rose into the air, burning bigger and bigger.
In the end, like a mountain of flames, it fell down!
The ice lake fell apart in an instant, and the white jade figure was engulfed in a sea of fire.
"This is the Divine Realm. ”
Zhang Wei lightly spit out these five words.
These five words are breezy to say, but how many days and nights of penance have you been burdened with? How many failures have you had, and how many beautiful things have you lost?
Who can understand the bitterness and pain of this except yourself?
Zhang Wei looked at the high-spirited little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but think of some of the past.
Once upon a time......
In a remote and backward small village, a baby boy was born, and his grandfather named him Zhang Wei, hoping that he would become a great person when he grew up.
Zhang Wei is very smart and excellent in all aspects, he is the first and only college student in the village.
When he was admitted to college, his father threw a banquet and invited the whole village to dinner.
Zhang Wei has become the pride of the people of the whole village.
Zhang Wei's family has been beautiful for many years.
When he first went to college, Zhang Wei worked and studied, plus a scholarship, not only did he not have to ask his family for money, but he often sent money to his family.
But the good times didn't last long, and in the summer vacation of his junior year, Zhang Wei, who was working as a tutor outside, received a call from his mother.
That's bad news, my father died!
After returning home, his mother told him that half a year ago, his father was diagnosed with cancer, and after learning about the cost of cancer treatment, the old couple decided to hide it from him until he graduated from college.
The mother was heartbroken, and within a month, she also followed her father.
This blow is undoubtedly painful, and it is also something that Zhang Wei at this age cannot bear.
Zhang Wei no longer had the heart to study, he dropped out of school, went to society early, went out to work, and earned money for his younger siblings to go to school.
He became the breadwinner of the family.
In his spare time, he began to think about what is the meaning of life and what is the meaning of making money
What is happiness?
No matter how much money you make, what's the point of not spending it?
Birth, old age, sickness and death, people's life span is only a hundred years, and after a hundred years, whether rich or poor, they will return to dust.
Three years later, Zhang Wei handed over the money saved by frugality, a total of 150,000 yuan, to the second child, asked him to take care of his two younger sisters, and set foot on the road to Shangshu Mountain.
The trip to Shushan made Zhang Wei, who has always regarded himself as a genius, taste the suffering of the world.
After becoming a disciple of Shushan, learning the Tao, practicing, meditating, and practicing, ten years were like a day, boring and boring.
Unlike Zhao Mingyue's amorousness, and also different from Yue Zhongxian's ruthlessness, and he can't be compared with a big celebrity like Meng Xun'er, Zhang Wei can only walk on thin ice, step by step, pay several times more effort than others, day and night penance, one day, he will step into the divine realm and become an elder admired by everyone in Shu Mountain!
"This is the realm of God", in a sense, these five words represent Zhang Wei's life.
......
Looking down from the sky, above the icy lake, there was a huge purple flame lotus flower.
Terrible flames, engulfing everything, melted the ice of the glacial lake.
Zhang Wei stood in the middle of the lotus flower, with his hands behind his back, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he remembered something unhappy.
Glacial lake, lake bottom.
Xue Yan followed the cold air all the way forward and found the source of the ice.
It was a tear of ice, with an icy breath of absolute zero.
Ice God Luo Qian's tears. People say that poor couples are in decline, but in these tears, I saw the hideous faces of some men after they changed to Tengda. Luo Qian, the general's wife is not what you want, and growing old with your beloved is what you want, right?"
Xue Yan held a sword in her right hand, and gently held the "Tears of Ice" in her left hand, standing at the bottom of the lake, and said with feeling.
Twilight Snow Sword sensed the icy aura of absolute zero, and was in a commotion.
The beast god was shocked!
It never expected that its owner would be able to gain insight into the truth of the frozen lake between life and death!
The so-called legend of the ice god is naturally false, and it is a story made up by later generations who do not understand the principle of freezing the ice lake.
"The legend of the ice god Luo Qian, I heard it long before I met the master. I've always wanted to come and see it, but I can't find time for some trivial matters. These 'tears of ice', if in the daytime, should be like a piece of crystal and flawless jade in the shape of tears. Only when the sun's light disappears will its mana be awakened. If it is asleep, it will be even more difficult to find it at the bottom of a glacial lake than to ascend to the sky! If it wakes up, the ice will be dozens of feet deep, and the ice will be frozen for a radius of 200 miles, and there will be no way to find it!"
Speaking of this, Xue Yan smiled slightly.
The so-called effortless acquisition is this truth.
Xue Yan embedded the "Tears of Ice" on the hilt of the Twilight Sword, and the absolute zero cold air merged with the cold air of the Twilight Snow Sword, and the ice began to spread from the bottom of the lake, and after a while, the entire ice lake condensed into ice again.
"This ...... What's going on?"
Zhang Wei panicked.
And that's not all!
The huge purple flame lotus flower that bloomed on the frozen lake was also frozen!
In the absolute zero degree cold air, Xue Yan stepped on the ice lotus and walked slowly.
Zhang Wei looked at the white jade figure and the cold aura that was enough to freeze him, his pupils couldn't help but dilate, and he muttered in shock, "Ice God, Luo Qian?"
