Chapter 9 Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting

Dongluo changed several positions in a row but didn't find the place where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was abnormal, and finally had to confirm that there were no other people in the vicinity.

Dongluo muttered something quietly, and then took off his coat and soft armor. Gently press your hands on the damp soil.

"Is it hard to keep the quicksand and mud still? I can even freeze the Heaven and Earth Vitality. I can freeze even a Weicheng. I don't believe I can't freeze your little quicksand quagmire. ”

Streams of cold air were generated in his meridians, and then spread along his hands and the grass under his palms.

The temperature around him began to plummet, and a fine layer of hoarfrost quickly dispersed around him. Freeze the earth quickly.

"Pop", just survived the cold winter, and the blades of grass that quietly germinated from spring were frozen and fell to the ground. And then it shattered. Maybe it wouldn't have imagined that it had worked so hard to survive the winter, but it was frozen to death in the spring.

"Bang Bang" A series of ice crystals burst into flames. The ice under the feet of winter is spreading faster and faster. But in a moment, the quicksand and mud were frozen.

The quicksand stopped, the mire stopped. Fighting in North Mong Son Province also stopped.

Winter has been a long time coming, but it is snowing on Mongshan North Road. The rain drifting in the wind was frozen into overwhelmed snowflakes by the cold air, and fell reluctantly.

Snowflakes shivered from the cold, and he quickly stood up and put the fiery red soft armor on his body. scolded in a low voice: ", no matter how much you think about the white food for more than a month, you have lost it." It's better not to eat things that don't need money. ”

In addition to the leader of the escort and others, there were about six or seven guards alive who were fighting with the Great Perimeter Army, and they struggled to get up and made their way to the perimeter of the noble carriage with difficulty. The badly injured leader of the guard, who was not buried by the quicksand and swamp, but was buried by the blizzard, and three of his subordinates who had long since passed out were dug up.

The badly wounded leader of the guard struggled to get up and led everyone to kneel down on one knee, touched his head to the ground and said in deep pain: "My subordinates are ineffective in fighting, and the thieves have disturbed His Highness, and they really deserve death." ”

In the starlight, the men covered in blood knelt down in a carriage that was mostly half of the earth, not sad, but full of iron-blooded fierceness or tragedy.

Dongluo walked to Xue Yuxin's side, and the two and three beasts quietly watched this scene, Dongluo, who had already guessed their true identity, didn't bother to disguise any shocked and surprised expressions.

After a little respite, the guards bandaged each other's wounds with great difficulty, and when they had a little breath, they began to clean up the battlefield, carrying back a few of their seriously wounded companions, and at the same time hacking to death all the enemies who still had a little breath left, and after doing these things, these fierce men subconsciously looked to the rear.

Looking at the young man who was still trembling in a padded jacket, the expressions in the eyes of the guards were very complicated, some shocked, some puzzled and even some faintly afraid...... They saw Dongluo's previous move, knew that this young man's martial arts skills were excellent and his archery skills were excellent, and they also saw the moment when he froze the earth.

In this sniper, it was the guards who stopped the Great Perimeter Army and the Sand Guard. The only thing Winterfall did was shoot the unsuspecting Spirit Master with three arrows.

However, the more this happened, the more they felt that this boy was a terrible figure.

"Ergouzi, didn't you clamore to save your brother earlier? What are you doing here?" Dongluo wrapped himself in a cotton jacket and quipped tremblingly.

Xue Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately ran to the expensive carriage, which originally needed to climb clumsy to climb up, but now stepped on the snow and stepped up.

Watching Xue Yuxin leave, Dongluo, whose eyebrows and beard had been frozen by frost, sat on the ground, trembling and weakly: "Da Hei, I'm cold." Start a fire. ”

Da Hei looked at Dongluo worriedly, and then said to Erhei and Sanhei: "Second, third, you take care of Big Brother here." I'm going to collect some firewood. ”

A fire was lit in the darkness, and the light of the fire flickered on the faces of the three beasts.

"After Mangshan, it is not far from Luoyang. When we get out of Mangshan, let's separate from them! Let's go to Luoyang alone. Dongluo threw a piece of wood into the fading fire.

"Young master, you have the final say. ”

At the end of a bloody and tragic battle, the survivors looked at Dongluo's gaze, and their attitude towards him silently changed somewhat. During the journey away from Weicheng these days, the two deliberately kept a distance from each other. Each of them chose to ignore each other's existence.

But now, I believe that no one will ignore his existence anymore.

The leader of the guards walked up to Dongluo with difficulty with a heavy sword, arched his hands and bowed deeply, he didn't say a word of thanks, but the deepest gratitude from his heart was all reflected in this action.

Dongluo hurriedly got up and saluted back, just as the last dead Sand Guard had said. The royal guard, led by the leader of the guard, deserves the respect of any enemy or friend for their iron-blooded demeanor and strict military discipline displayed in battle.

"It can be seen that you have not yet sensed the breath of heaven and earth, and you have not yet entered the path of cultivation, but you have killed a formation spirit master with three arrows with a mortal body, although that array spirit master is just an enlightenment, and there is not much difference from ordinary people. But you can kill him so cleanly. I can't do it in a mortal body. ”

The leader of the guards looked at Dongluo's immature face, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Young man, if I am not mistaken, your three arrows should be the nine-star arrows that are famous in the surrounding territory! I wonder how many stars you can shoot now?"

Dongluo scratched his head and was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Samsung." ”

Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell the leader of the guards that he had been exposed to this nine-star continuous bead archery technique since he was a child, even in the Great Perimeter Army, and he had already practiced it to the extreme.

The leader of the guards stroked his injured chest, frowned at the senseless young man on his face, nodded and said, "You are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and you have already achieved a three-star succession." As long as you practice diligently, Nine Stars is not a difficult task. ”

"Thank you, I'm sure I can do it. Dongluo replied with a smile.

For some reason, the convoy did not immediately withdraw from Mangshan North Road, but decided to rest and wait for tomorrow dawn to set off again.

The old man Hua Qingyun, who appeared at some point, looked at the young man by the fire quietly, as if he had been smashed by some kind of fruit pit, a little red and swollen, a smile on his face, and the index finger of his right hand slowly rubbed on the wooden sword on his lap, but in the end he only shook his head.

Two fires were lit beside the carriage of the precious carriage, and although the wind was strong in the dense forest, the night dew was carried on the rotten leaves, and there was fresh snow. I don't have to worry about a fire that will cause trouble. The chief of the guards and the wounded gathered around one fire, leaving another fire in a better position for His Highness, the old man and the princess, and even in this embarrassing situation, they still did not forget the distinction between dignity and inferiority.

But His Highness did not get out of the carriage even now that the danger had been lifted, but continued to read the book in the carriage with his faint little lamp. Ignore what's going on outside the window.

There was a fire away from the two fires, which fell in winter. This fire is much bigger than the other two, and it burns much brighter.

Binding medicine and eating, the guards who had experienced a big battle couldn't bear the hunger and thirst after the war, and drank the wine in small sips, and the wine insects that fell in winter were hooked, and they wanted to get up and go over to ask for a pot of wine to warm their bodies.

saw Hua Qingyun and Xue Yuxin each walking over with a wine bag. Due to the large size of the wine sac, Xue Yuxin's movements looked a little clumsy.

Dongluo tugged at her pigtails, snatched a wine bag, and put it on the fire to bake.

"This wine is strong and suits you perfectly. The old man sat down by the fire, and began to bake the wine bag as if it were falling in winter. As for Xue Yuxin, after expressing her gratitude to Dongluo, she took out a pack of small jerky from her arms and continued to tease Erhei and Sanhei.

"Today, you saved them. Qingyun didn't seem to be as patient as Dongluo, but he just put the wine bag on the flame and flipped it a few times, and after a slight gesture to Dongluo, he opened the stopper and drank.

"No, I'm just saving myself. Actually, when you chose to take Mangshan North Road, I wanted to leave. Bi Jing: I don't like to put myself in danger of the unknown. If it weren't for tonight's assassination, I'd have left quietly tomorrow morning. Dongluo shook his head, uncorked the wine, and gulped down.

The liquor entered his throat, and his stomach and intestines were burning and painful, and Dongluo coughed lightly and said: "Although all roads lead to Luoyang, I think all roads are the same dangerous for you! I don't want to know who wants to kill you and why I want to kill you." I just want to go to Luoyang, and I don't want to follow you to take this risk. I believe that the old gentleman should know that life is precious. ”

Qingyun looked at the slightly charred young man in the cotton clothes in front of him, and the expression in his eyes was very complicated, with regret and pity...... After a moment of silence, he said, "I guess you already know how much time you have left, so you're in a hurry to go to Luoyang to do something?"

Dongluo was not surprised or shocked by Qingyun's ability to see the condition of his body, but said bluntly: "Three years at most, maybe tomorrow." But there were some things I had to do. ”

Winterfall is talking about the date of his death.

Qingyun couldn't help but praise Dongluo's calmness and indifference when he knew the deadline for his death: "You can only live if you are not afraid of death." It has a good heart and is a good material for cultivation. It's a pity, though. ”

Dongluo knew what it was a pity for the old man Qingyun, but it was a pity that he had this kind of mind, but he couldn't practice. However, Dongluo thought to himself, he had already died once in his two lives, so why was he afraid of dying again.

It's just that some things haven't been done yet, and they can't die so quickly.

Dongluo threw a dry wood into the fire that was getting smaller, and said lightly: "What is the good temperament, but I have known it for a long time, and it makes people numb." ”

"Time, it's numbing. Hearing this answer, the old man Hua Qingyun seemed to be very uncomfortable and moved his position, looked at the young man in front of him again, and said, "This is not like what a young man can say!"

Dongluo smiled lightly and asked rhetorically, "How should that young man speak?" ”

Old Man Qingyun stroked his beard and said, "I can see that since Weicheng, you have any questions you want to ask me." That's why I'm here tonight. ”

Dongluo nodded and said, "I have always felt that you are a master, so I have some problems in cultivation, and I want to ask my seniors to solve my doubts." ”
