Chapter 472: Volcano

She comforted herself with robber logic, regardless of whether Xu Liangyu himself wanted it or not. At this time, she didn't realize that her style of doing things was becoming more and more similar to Changtian.

"Why bother. Chang Tian smiled and said, "Okay, you have also done this matter, the maid has been sent again, and the end of the song should be dispersed." "He's actually been very busy these days. Because the hidden guards sent out to search the Great Snow Mountain will send back the latest situation every six hours. The place to be searched is too large, and the map given by Hulianjia is not very complete, and it is difficult to find the whereabouts of a three-foot long sword in the vast land. They can only start with the anomalies that may occur from where the sword is buried. This requires the hidden guards to collect the topography, features, plants, light and dark distribution, and even local legends of each passage, and then send them back to the base camp of the gods and demons.

Although the monk's divine sense is very good and powerful, comparable to a scanner, but the human brain is not a computer after all, and these analysis, comparison, calculation, and summary represent endless water grinding effort. Due to the lack of manpower, Tu Duan was also pulled in to help, and the three of them didn't have much spare time to pay the daily price - as for Qizai, it was very leisurely, after all, who would think that he was doing such a thing?

So far, however, they have found no useful clues.

In the afternoon of this day, the last maid was also sent out, and Hulian Minmin was also escorted back to his tribe by a special hidden guard sent by Ning Xiaoxian, and everyone felt that the pressure on their bodies had dropped sharply. Before the hidden guard left, Changtian said lightly: "After sending back Hulian Minmin." You take off an arm from Hu Lianzhe and come back to your life. Ning Xiaoxian listened to it on the side, and did not look up, and the book in his hand slowly turned a page.

Naturally, the guard took the order.

And for Ning Xiaoxian. The time has come to separate from the crowd. Hu Huo'er knew that she could hold her love and return to her husband, and she relied on her friends to give advice, so she was extremely reluctant, but she knew that she had already made up her mind, so she didn't force her to stay, so she only took one thing from the sachet on her body and stuffed it into her hand.

This strange stone. The whole body is pure black, but the surface is distributed with countless small holes like honeycomb coal. Far away is like a pine tower, and the hole is clear and regular.

"Now you're even more powerful than I am. I don't know what to give you, this amulet is a lucky charm that I have hung on my body since I was a child. Hu Huo'er said, "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a stone from a snowy mountain." One year there was a big flood in the river. swept me and my sister into the water. We survived by living on a rock that could float on water, and we were finally rescued by our families. ”

"This amulet was knocked down from the big stone at that time, and my mother said that this thing is auspicious. Most of the inhabitants of the snow-capped mountains regard it as a symbol of good luck. ”

Ning Xiaoxian said with a smile: "Since it is something left by your family, you should still wear it on your body." ”

Hu Huo'er shook his head and said, "I have a platform as a companion." It's lucky enough to get what you want. The person who needs luck the most now is you—aren't you looking for that Nan Mingli Fire Sword?" she and Ning Xiaoxian had been walking together for so long. I also know the purpose of my friend's travel all the way to Daxue Mountain. Ning Xiaoxian only said that he was "fated" with this divine sword, and Hu Huo'er did not delve into it. Because there are indeed lucky people in this world, who are destined to have a fate with a certain treasure, such as Quan Shifang is the destined person of the Purple Electric Sword.

Ning Xiaoxian looked at her ruddy complexion, and her eyebrows were rippling, knowing that Taiyi had finally untied the knot in her heart, and her heart was good to her, and she was happy for her in her heart, so she didn't shirk at the moment, reached out to take the talisman, and suddenly remembered something.

She took out the bag left by Nangong Zhen, the former head of Guangcheng Palace, from her arms, handed it to Hu Huo'er and said: "Here is a token and a jade slip, which are the relics left by Nangong Zhenren to the head of Chaoyun Sect Bai Qing before the robbery, which is extremely important." I took it all the way and didn't have a chance to send it out, and now, I have to trouble you to hand it over to the white master. ”

Hu Huo'er accepted it silently, her eyes were slightly red at first, and then she sneered and laughed at herself: "It's not that we haven't seen each other, why do I say goodbye to such children?" turned around and hugged her, smiled, and pulled Taiyi to leave. At this time, everyone's task has been completed, and they no longer have to follow the carriage slowly as a cover, and they have driven the magic weapons, and soon they will turn into flying rainbows in the sky. The Narusui Sect wants to find them again, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The world of immortal cultivators is like this, gathering and dispersing, but in the blink of an eye.

Before leaving, Ning Xiaoxian heard the two words from Tantai Yi to herself, which was a solemn "thank you", she turned around and saw this person nodding slightly at her.

finally received her matchmaker's love. This is the case with many things, and when you think about it, there is a sea and sky ahead. Ning Xiaoxian said suddenly: "Next." He tossed him a storage bag. Yutai took it over, looking at him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"More than 300 catties of self-brewed good wine. She smiled a little evilly, "Two hundred and fifty catties of spirit wine, fifty catties of osmanthus wine." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two great monks were red, Hu Huo'er took a sip, dragged the platform and turned around and fled, full of sorrow and was suddenly washed away.

He voted for the peach, and she repaid the favor. He saved her life, and she repaid him a beautiful girl. On the way to cultivating immortals, she repaid another debt.

Ning Xiaoxian threw away the black stone in his hand, and felt sad in his heart, but this kind of love was just a flash. Changtian has always accompanied her, never abandoned, she still has Tu Quan, Qizai, and Gumo by her side, which is enough.

"Let's go back to the snowy mountains. She put all her men into the Gods and Demons Prison, and then commanded Qizai. The bird reverted to its true form and carried her back north. Flying back from here, it only takes a day to fly back at the speed of Qizai.

However, after flying for less than a quarter of an hour, Changtian suddenly said: "Wait a minute, let me take a closer look at the stone that Hu Huo'er gave you." ”

Qizai immediately fell to the ground. At this time, the snow on the plateau was deep, and according to his request, she carried a divine fire to melt a puddle of snow on the ground and put the stone in it. This inconspicuous black stone really floated lightly on the water. What Hu Huo'er said is indeed right, this stone does not sink when it encounters water.

Anyone who has learned a little about physics knows it. The mass of the stone is greater than that of water, and it usually sinks to the bottom with a thud, if it shows such an abnormality. The reason for this is probably that it has too many holes inside, it is spongy, it is lightweight, and it can store air. In China, she has also seen such a stone, which the locals call "pumice stone", which is not the product of thousands of years of natural evolution.

"Volcano. Changtian and her said in unison. When Hu Huo'er was a child, he picked up pumice stones in the river. That is to say, within the Atelia Snow Mountain, there are actually Zài active volcanoes. And pumice stone is also known as volcanic stone. It is formed when the magma cools down, and the bubbles inside it also become holes.

From the various messages, Changtian turned out a small piece of news sent back by a certain group of hidden guards three days ago: "The northwest far end of the Snow Mountain, two thousand miles into the mountain. Snow-hidden giant huanghuali and willow banyan. The age is not examinable, and the wood turns into stone. This sentence is very short, and it doesn't seem unusual, but when you look at it together with the stone given by Hu Huo'er, there are many intriguing points.

Huanghuali and Ficus sinensis are plants that like to grow near volcanoes, but they are not tolerant to extreme cold. This is Atalia in the great northwest, which has been plagued by low temperatures and north winds for thousands of years. Why did these two trees once grow here?

The reason for this is simple – there was once active volcanic activity, which led to an increase in temperatures around the area. The ash itself is rich in nutrients that support many tall plants except cedars, birches and oaks. However, it is now also a white expanse, the wooded landscape is no longer there, and the yellow pear and willow banyan found have become fossils, which shows that the volcano has ceased to be active and erupted in the distant past, at least the magma in the mountain is no longer flowing.

The causes of extinct volcanoes are varied, but is it possible that there is a human factor?

Chang Tian pondered for a while, and then instructed Ning Xiaoxian: "I have asked the hidden guard to return to this mountain range and find some clues." In addition, you send a message to Dou Er. His send-off mission should have been completed, and he should be on his way to join us immediately. "Dou Er is familiar with the Great Northwest Scenery, if you want to find the location of this extinct volcano, Dou Er should be one of the most likely candidates to find it.

At that moment, Qizai changed the flight route, turned west, and went straight to the rendezvous. His speed was much faster than the others who rode their swords, so the place where Ning Xiaoxian asked for a rendezvous was the last time Dou Er put down his handmaiden, and it was also the last time he sent a message back.

Flying in the winds of the snowy fields was against the forces of nature, and it was not an easy task for immortal cultivators. Therefore, Qizai did not dare to go all the way, and it took about eight hours to arrive at the designated place.

Most of the people's settlements in the snowy region are located near water sources, and this town is no exception. However, the river outside the town was too small in water and was frozen in winter, and when she passed by the river, she saw that the townspeople had carved ice holes in the river for fishing. According to her eyesight, the number of people in the town exceeded 2,000, and it was a relatively large human gathering point nearby, so it was no wonder that Dou Er would choose this place as a place to put down the handmaiden.

She should have arrived first. Qizai turned back into a human form and walked with her into the only tavern in the town, where he was ready to wait for the arrival of Dou Er and the others. It was overcrowded, and Qizai walked in front of her to open the way, and finally found an empty table, but the chair was old, and it creaked when he sat on it, and there were a few wine stains on the table that had not been wiped clean. She frowned and sat down, and ordered two glasses of wine to suit the occasion, but she didn't drink them—she was used to the taste of spirit wine, and the taste of the world's inferior wine was not within the range she could accept.

She didn't like it very much. Ever since she walked into the tavern, everyone's eyes have been on her and Qizai. This kind of town, most of the neighbors know each other, and at this time, there are not many outsiders in the town, she took off her felt hat again, and showed a young and pretty face, and many men looked at her with good eyes while sipping wine.
