Chapter 218: Cold Land
Wilderness, in the mountains, there are often wild beasts infested, people easily dare not touch it, but there are exceptions to current affairs, there are some races that are born close to people, Hummer is one of them, it is said that the wild Humvee, existed in ancient times, is famous for its strong physique, in order to travel, it can start from a single step in a thousand miles of land, and for a long time, some people use it as an indispensable tool in war. Even later it was said that the war horses of the Central Plains were also introduced from the wilderness and inherited its strong bloodline.
Outside the city of Shifang, north of Wushan, there is a huge horse plain, many business travelers from afar, due to the long journey, the horses are tired, will come here to feed, over time, here also has a considerable reputation, so the boss waved a pen, named this place Shifang Horse Cellar.
Towards noon, he stepped into the place, and he felt the fierce aura from the wilderness, a dozen naked men, training a few wild horses in the cold wind, in order to confirm to several merchants the fierceness of these horses and their strength.
"See!" A middle-aged man with a relatively thin figure explained endlessly to the merchants, "These horses have been professionally tamed by us, you can rest assured, not to mention traveling thousands of miles a day, just crossing the desert is not a problem!"
The merchants also nodded, gave a thumbs up, and gave out a series of praises.
Yuan Xuan glanced at these people, and then his ears moved slightly, as if he heard something, and looked towards the grassland in the distance.
"What did you hear again?" Mo asked.
"It's nothing!" commanded, "you go and lead two batches of horses, and we'll ride away!"
"Horseback riding!" Moty was surprised, because with the skill of the two, Edgeworth was much faster than riding a horse.
"Go!" Yuan Xuan urged, and he watched the grassland in the distance, continuing to listen to the sound of this place.
The north wind blew, which seemed very ordinary to ordinary people, but Yuan Xuan heard a terrible scream from it, as if there were tens of thousands of unjust souls wailing and crying, which made his brows furrow very tightly, because with Simon's ability, he believed that what happened at the foot of Wushan Mountain, it was impossible to hide it, why is this.
"Is there anything you need?" An old man came over and took the initiative to ask, "Guest officer, do you want to pick a few good horses?"
"Someone has already picked it up!" said Yuanxuan came back to his senses and pointed to Moti, who was picking a horse in the distance.
"Well, then I won't bother!" the old man touched his gray beard and turned away.
"Please wait!" Yuan Xuan's heart moved, and caught up with the old man.
"Is there anything else going on with the guest officer?" said the old man politely, turning his head.
"No, I just want to ask, what is the place after this grassland?" Yuan Xuan pointed to the distance and said, "I first came to your land, and I am not familiar with the place, so I ask the old man for advice!"
The old man's face changed, he looked at the fate again, and said solemnly: "Guest officer, after the grassland, it is a cold land, it is an ominous place, I advise you to stop here!"
"An ominous place?" said Yuan Xuan in confusion, "Old man, why is it an ominous place?"
"Actually, I can't say this clearly!" said the old man, "but I know that there are many people who are as curious about it as you are, and think that ice crystals left over from ancient times can be collected in that place, but unfortunately after so many years, there is basically no return!"
"Basically?"
"Well, young people just like to get to the bottom of things!" the old man sighed, looked left and right, and whispered, "I heard that a man had come back, but only half a breath was left, and we tried to wake him up, but the man went crazy again, and muttered that he had seen a fairy! After a few days, he was covered with thick sores, and he was biting people everywhere, but at that time we invited a few wizards, and we were able to control him, and then within a few days the man died, so we buried him!"
Yuan Xuan nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Guest, think about it, if that person really saw the immortals, can he do this after he comes back?" The old man's face was still very calm when he saw the fate, and he spoke again to persuade him, "I guess, eighty percent saw some evil demons and monsters, and they were cursed, so they would be like this!"
"Cursed?" said Yuan Xuan.
"Yes, or what?" said the old man, his eyes widened, "So, there, you must not go, it's too evil!"
"Eh!" Yuan Xuan nodded, glanced at Moti, who was leading two horses behind, and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man, please rest assured, I just ask casually, I won't take risks!" As he spoke, Yuan Xuan took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
"Young man is generous enough!" the old man smiled and weighed the silver taels in his hand, beckoning to the fate of the extinction, "Good luck!"
"Farewell!" Yuan Xuan got on the horse, and with a light mention, the horse neighed, and a wave of sky air rushed to the sky, making the seemingly thin Yuan Xuan look majestic, "Go!"
Yuan Xuan rode a horse and ran towards the grassland. Seeing this, Moti also followed.
"What an extraordinary pair of young men!I hope you are safe!" the old man shook his head, made a gesture of prayer, and turned to leave.
The gallop of the grassland, the fate of the light and simple companions, riding a Hummer all the way to gallop, the target is the old man said that the evil place, the cold land! Perhaps as the old man mentioned, on the way to this gallop, at first you can meet some horse test people, but the closer to the cold land, the more sparsely populated, in the end even the horses are reluctant to approach that place, let the fate of the vanishing catch up, and refuse to take half a step forward.
"Sister Ling'er has really been here?" Moti looked at the grass in front of him, all of which were stained with a layer of frost, as if a strange aura was spreading, and a mist was formed that blurred the front.
"You don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid!" Yuan Xuan was very calm, he stepped off the horse, personally stepped forward and touched the frost with his own hands, carefully sensed the mist, and judged, "This should be caused by the breath of the formation, there must be a formation in front, accumulated over many years, to form the scene in front of him!"
"I'm not afraid!" Moti's face was slightly cold, looking at the haze ahead, "I'm just worried that such a rash intrusion will be a void!"
Yuan Xuan didn't respond, he suddenly felt something, stood up, and looked in one direction in the white mist.
"What's wrong?" asked Morti.
"There seems to be someone there!" said in a low voice, and then he pulled Moti and plunged headlong into the fog, slowly approaching.
The frost and white fog blurred the vision, even if you stood in front of you, you couldn't necessarily tell what it was, even if it was fate, you couldn't tell what it was for a while.
Approaching step by step, he finally let Yuan Xuan smell the breath of breath, his feeling was not wrong, it was indeed a person, holding a big bow, covered in animal skins, and behind him, there was a child, who was staring in the other direction with that person.
Yuan Xuan's face moved slightly, as if he felt something, grabbed Moti, hid on a slightly higher mound, and followed the gaze of the two of them.
In the blur, another slender figure appeared, but this person was a little strange, she was in a trance, walking and stopping, and it took a long time to see the outline of her body. It was at this moment that the man moved, and he raised his bow, mounted an arrow, aimed at the vague figure, and shot out.
Yuan Xuan frowned, staring at the blurred figure with a strange expression, and a sword qi shot out from his fingertips, forcibly shooting down the arrow, and then when the two people didn't react, he took Moti and disappeared into the depths of the mist.
"What kind of person!" This is a woman's voice, looking at the broken arrow spear under her feet, obviously startled, and the man holding the big bow opposite, seeing that the blow failed, coldly glanced at the mound that was hidden by the fate of the extinction, without words, pulling the child behind him, and did not enter the mist. In an instant, these three parties seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all left a little guard in their hearts.
"Why did you make a move just now?" As he ran, Moti kept asking Yuanxuan, "Who is that person?"
"What the hell do you want to know!" Yuan Shu was bored by the question, and replied impatiently, "It's just that the road is uneven!
"Is the road uneven?" Moti's face was full of suspicion, she wouldn't believe that Yuan Yuan would be so kind and take care of other people's affairs.
"There is indeed a formation here, and it is very old!" Yuan Xuan spoke, and while talking, the two came to a desolate land, the grass and trees under their feet had long been replaced by mountain rocks, and occasionally there were still some skeletons left in the cracks of this mountain rock.
"Does that seem like a door?" Moti pointed ahead, and in the blurry white mist, two large bluestone pillars were erected.
Yuan Xuan's face was solemn, and when he came to the stone pillars, he sensed a resentful spirit qi, which continued to float out from the center of the two stone pillars, which further proved that his feeling on the horse farm was not wrong, and there must be a secret here.
"Why is there such a door between the rocks?" said Moti, skeeping.
"It's hard to say!" Yuan Xuan observed for a long time and responded, "Some formations require a medium, maybe this door is one of them, this side of the door is one place, and the other side of the door is another place!
"Uh!" Mo Ti nodded, "According to your meaning, this place is like a mountain gate!"
"I'm just guessing, not for sure! And don't forget, this is at the foot of Wu Mountain, even if Simon's heart is wide, he can't allow anyone to start a mountain here!" Yuan Xuan glanced at Moti, turned around and walked towards the center of the stone pillar.
Moti hesitated for a moment, and crossed the stone pillar with Yuanxuan.
"There is a natural connection between here and outside, it seems that nothing has changed!" Mo Ti muttered to himself, the mountains and rocks in front of him have not changed, if there is a difference, it can only be said that the white fog in the air seems to have faded a little.
"Follow me, don't leave my sight!" Yuan Xuan whispered, "Anything, once it has something to do with people, those things are just another kind of falsehood!"
After stepping into the stone pillar, Yuan Xuan had an uncomfortable feeling, and the resentment contained in the air was obviously stronger, which had to make him strengthen his vigilance.
After walking for a distance, the white mist gradually dissipated, revealing some mountains and rocks, but one thing is very strange, since he came to the depths, the kind of resentment that made Yuan Xuan frown suddenly disappeared without a trace, which made him can't help but turn his head and look at the way he came.
"What's wrong?" Mo asked.
Yuan Xuan shook his head and said nothing, he realized it later, and felt that the two stone pillars just now might not be a door, but a formation eye, and someone deliberately opened it, the purpose of which was to dissipate the spirit of the soul here.
"Be careful, there may be people in this place!" said his instincts.
When Mo Ti heard this, his face changed again and again, and he quietly pressed the sword with his right hand, and followed behind Yuan Xuan with full vigilance.
It was another section of the mountain and stone path, and there was a cold breath in the air, thinking that the so-called cold land should be under their feet.
The cold land is not the ice, due to the climate, the land here, there are cracks, the fate of the silent forward, the deeper he goes, the more he feels as if something is watching them, looking back, a sword qi penetrates out, penetrating a thing.
"A strange bug!" Motty's face changed slightly, and he drew his sword and was about to cut it down, but was stopped by Yuan.
The insect is not large, the more it is an inch long, and it can't be named, although it seems to be very ordinary, but once you look at the pair of insect eyes, you will find that the eyes are very smart, and there seems to be a person's emotions surging.
"Let's go!" Yuan Xuan glanced at the insect lightly, and pulled Moti to continue walking into the depths.
"It's just a bug!" Moti wondered, "why bother!"
"That's not a bug!" Yuan Xuan explained, "It's a kind of Gu, it seems to be small, but it has a great effect, and the Gu heart is connected, if it is crushed, other Gu will have senses, and there will be more when the time comes!"
As he spoke, he skimmed towards the mountains and rocks on both sides of the road, where countless insect Gu squirmed, and the tiny insect eyes flashed with golden light, making the people who were being targeted uncomfortable.
"Don't be murderous!" Yuan Xuan held down Moti's sword and pulled her to continue walking deeper, "Don't talk, don't look around, just treat them as if they don't exist!"
"This place is so terrifying, if Ling'er is really here, wouldn't it be dead or alive!" Mo Ti hugged Yuan's arm tightly and whispered.
"Don't think about those things that didn't happen, everyone knows that Ling'er is my senior sister who is destined to die, one less cold hair, I will let his whole clan accompany him to bury!" Yuan's voice was very calm, not murderous, but it was enough to express his determination.
