370 Chapter 370 Snowy Land
This is the highest point in the entire snowy region.
Huge snow-capped peaks are piled with perennial snow, and countless temples are built at its feet, prostrate under its majesty, and on the summit are the intricate palaces.
- Snowy Sanctuary.
At this moment, Fu Chaosheng was standing in the main hall of this temple.
The cold moonlight poured in from outside the temple gate, and several monks wearing crimson monk's robes walked slowly outside the hall, and there were three monks sitting in the hall, all of whom were in their infancy, holding a tambourine in one hand and a diamond bell in the other, and singing more than once in their mouths.
But no one could see him.
Fu Chaosheng is a big demon.
Even if the sun has set at this moment, his cultivation has almost been weakened to the lowest level by the rules of heaven and earth, but if he wants to walk in this temple, it is still like entering a no-man's land, and no one can find out.
Spreading out one's own perception, the entire temple, even the entire sacred mountain, every temple and pavilion, every table and chair, and even every monk's every move is clearly visible to you.
Either pure self-cultivation, or unsightly......
But there was no one he was looking for.
The main hall is enshrined with a huge statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, but because there is no light in the hall at the moment, there is a sense of silence in the darkness.
Fu Chaosheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at it.
His gaze was flat, with no feeling, nor any so-called awe and piety, just like looking at any clay puppet in the world.
Even if the True Buddha is here, he may not look at it twice. And how much more the dead things in this temple?
Retracting his gaze, he walked calmly past the three monks chanting on the ground, crawling the corners of his dark green embroidered robes and sweeping the shaking vajra bell in the monk's hand.
They still don't know anything.
Bypassing the offering table with things in front of him, and also bypassing the huge Buddha statue, Fu Chaosheng walked directly towards the back of the hall.
The huge temple is like a magnificent community.
He walked in the towers, the prayer towers were scattered, and the light and dark shadows were cut and scattered by the upturned eaves or the rotating warp cylinders, and he walked in them like a ghost.
In this way, they passed through the layers of the temple and finally came to the back of the temple.
It was a huge ice field, illuminated by the bright moon in the sky, and it was as clear as glass.
However, the first thing that catches people's eyes is not the ice field itself, but the huge lake embedded in the ice field like a sapphire.
Under the moonlight, the wind blows, and there are soft waves on the surface of the lake.
It is wide and vast, like a sea spread flat on an ice sheet.
- The Holy Lake Garan, the highest lake in the entire Nineteen Continents, is called "the lake in the sky" by the monks and all the believers in the snowy region.
A few days ago, Fu Chaosheng had not been here.
But perhaps it was because he had found nothing in the past few days, and he had a somewhat bored desire to explore, so he passed through the temple and came to the lake.
The feeling at that moment was completely clean and pure.
He has cosmic eyes, not to mention that he has great power, he is a mayfly, walking with a kun, and he can crisscross the world without a problem, and he has already seen all kinds of fantastic and unpredictable scenery from isolated islands in the world to nineteen continents.
But there is no place that can give him the feeling of this lake.
Forgetting where he came from and where he is going, his heart is full of eyes, only this lake, only that pure, clinging to the sky.
For a moment, Fu Chaosheng remembered a word: refuge.
But after only a moment, the word fell apart in his mind, and all thoughts and tendencies about the Buddha and all the thoughts and tendencies about the four emptiness disappeared.
A dark color of green ink appeared in his eyes, which hid the changes of time.
As a result, all the mysterious and unpredictable qi of the lake in front of him disappeared, leaving only the intoxicatingly clear bottom of the lake, and a pair of quietly opened eyes.
It was as if someone had been shocked into a beautiful dream, waking up from a deep sleep, encompassing the coldness of the lake and the high expanse of the night sky, slow and mysterious......
Fu Chaosheng watched quietly, with a slight smile on his lips, and only said, "Should I call you Shanye or Jialan?"
"Whoa......
The pair of eyes at the bottom of the lake were open and also looked at Fu Chaosheng standing by the lake, but did not answer.
Only the wind blows, bringing up shallow waves, gently lapping the shore of the lake, adding a touch of sound to this dark and quiet night.
Snowy edges.
Seeing sorrow and Xie Buchen, he has been standing for a long time.
It wasn't until the thin moon disappeared into the clouds, and the mirage at the end of the sky slowly disappeared in the shadows of the clouds that gradually darkened, that the two of them came back to their senses.
What a magnificent view this is?
The unheard, the unseen.
Faintly, there is also a pure power that is difficult to capture, and in a trance, people wash away all the dirt on their bodies and hearts, and return to the most authentic state.
Even......
Even hatred is forgotten.
After being silent for a long time, he regained his thoughts, took a deep breath, felt the cold air bulging in his chest, and looked back: "Further on, it should be the real snowy region." My master has never been very reliable, I don't know what Hengxu real person has to say to Xie Daoyou?"
This is spying.
Xie Buchen naturally didn't mention anything suspicious, but said: "The snowy region is dangerous, and the master didn't mention anything, everything has to wait until he goes in to act on the opportunity." It's just that when there was an accident at the two gates of Kunwu Ya Mountain, Shizun had investigated the location of the accident, which was on the periphery of this snowy region. I'm going to go to the place where the accident happened as soon as possible, so that I can collect the bones of my fellow disciples. I don't know what to do with my friends?"
Naturally, she didn't have any opinions.
In fact, there is also a copy of the approximate location of the accident of the Yashan disciple in her hand, which was given by the people of Fudao Mountain when she left.
If you can get there as soon as possible, there may be some clues.
She didn't say much, and the Burning Lamp Sword, which had been stagnant in mid-air for a long time, turned to the north-west without hesitation, and galloped out.
Xie Buchen followed and immediately followed.
After entering the snowy range, what I saw was very different from before.
At the junction of the sea of stars and the snowy region of tomorrow, it is barren and inhabited, and even the shadow of the monk is rarely seen. But after crossing this cliff and walking more than thirty miles inside, you can see scattered settlements.
Low-slung houses, built on the gentle slopes of the mountains or scattered in the valleys.
Seeing that you are worried at a high place, you can see that in the high places near these settlements, countless colorful prayer flags are hung, red, yellow, blue, green, and white......
Most of the houses were dark, with only a few dim lights visible.
In the middle of the night, the howl of a nocturnal beast can occasionally be heard.
After all, they have already entered the snowy region, and no one knows what they will encounter here.
Although the two of them each had the method of concealing the aura given by the Fudao Mountain Man and the Hengxu True Man, they were still much more cautious and did not dare to rush away as unscrupulously as before.
As a result, the speed slowed down a lot, and by the time we arrived at the place where the incident had occurred, it was already dark.
The thick fog buried the canyon ahead.
The wide river beach was blurred in the white expanse, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye alone. But the sound of flowing water pierced through the fog and reached the ears of sorrow.
The bloody smell had faded a lot, but it still remained in the air, stimulating the sensitive sense of smell.
"Pop ......"
When he landed, he stepped on the small stones piled up on the riverbank, making a subtle sound, as if disturbing the silent dawn.
Seeing that Chou was holding the lamp-burning sword, he stood on the edge of the river beach and the edge of the thick fog, but he felt a sense of suffocation, and his feet were so heavy that they seemed to be filled with lead.
However, Xie Buchen beside her was not affected.
They all knew that the river valley in front of them was the place where the monks of Yashan Kunwu died, but the difference was that they regarded Yashan as their home, while Xie Buchen's feelings for Kunwu were only general.
Kunwu has no grace for him to recreate, and Hengxu Zhenren does not have a deep master-apprentice relationship with him. Coming to the snowy region to investigate is nothing more than a cold task for him.
In other words, even if there is a master-apprentice relationship, it is nothing in his eyes.
So at this moment, Xie Buchen's performance was much calmer and much cold-blooded.
The expression on his face didn't even change in the slightest, and he had already stepped directly into the thick fog, and the Human Emperor Sword gently moved forward, and a transparent ripple swung in all directions.
It was as if a gust of wind blew and buried the entire valley of the thick fog, and most of it suddenly dispersed.
As a result, the blood-stained river beach appeared clearly and unhindered in front of his eyes, and also appeared in front of his sorrowful eyes.
The shallow water of the river flows quietly.
Some of the blood stains on the stones and in the crevices by the river have been washed clean by the water, and there is no trace of it. But in a place far away from the river, there were deep sword marks!
Large patches of dried reddish-brown blood smeared on the muddy river beach......
It was clear that a long time had passed, and even the smell of blood was so faint that it was almost impossible to smell it.
But at the moment when I saw it clearly, I still felt a sinking in my heart.
The bloody qi in her throat was heavier than the bloody qi wafting outside, and she needed to clench her hand and use all her strength to suppress it, and to lift her heavy steps and walk slowly past.
Walk through the flowing river, walk through the sword marks scattered on the ground, walk through the blood dripping on the ground......
Seeing the expression on his face, he was a little numb.
She clearly knew that these sword marks were all from Yashan, and she also knew that these blood also came from Yashan. But as far as the eye could see, there was not a single corpse, as if all the people who had died here had disappeared out of thin air.
At that moment, a ridiculous thought flashed in her mind: perhaps, all she saw were hallucinations, and maybe the names written on the life cards under the cliff mountain gate were not dead......
But in the next moment, this unrealistic illusion was shattered.
Xie Buchen's footsteps stopped in front of him.
It was a steep canyon, the upper reaches of that river, and there were countless sword marks, mottled blood marks, and even more ......
One corpse after another!
Looking at the costumes, they are all from Kunwu.
Most of the corpses were intact, and there was even a frozen expression on their faces, as if their lives were only passing in a moment, and they had not had time to adjust their demeanor to face death.
Some are desperate, some are frightened, some are angry......
Twenty-three people, no less than one, all here.
Xie Buchen's indifferent gaze swept over these people, and he didn't look back, so he said: "The twenty-three people of Kunwu are all here, and there is no one from your cliffs." β
But he didn't seem to hear it.
When Xie Buchen looked back, he only found that she was looking at a certain place in the river in front of her, and she didn't move. After a long time, he leaned down and reached out to pick up two pieces from the shallow water.
The hand seemed to tremble.
Two black shards.
The ancient landscape pattern is carved, and the word "cliff mountain" on it should have a smell of dust, but at this moment it is diagonally disconnected from the middle, and it is cracked into two halves that cannot be recovered.
Yashan Order ......
At the edge of the break, there are still traces of blood that the river has not completely carried away, a thin line......
At this moment, I remembered the arsenal.
I thought of the dozen long swords that returned to Yashan because of the loss of their owners, the uncold blood on the long sword, and the blood red that was always spreading and growing in the sky!
Under the Yashan Gate, whether it is acting or being a person, there has never been any shame in the world.
But now, such a calamity has befallen them......
Snowy ......
Tantra!
The five fingers, which were soaked in the cold of the river, slowly retracted, and pressed the broken cliff mountain order tightly in the palm of his hand. The sharp edges and corners of the rupture stabbed her palms painfully, and finally regained her senses.
A cold injustice and killing intent was hidden in the depths of the flickering eyes.
Seeing sorrow, Xiang Xiang glanced calmly at where Xie Buchen was, and finally walked over.
Twenty-three corpses, one of which lay in front of them.
Looking at the traces left around them, they are similar to what Zheng invited them to say when they had an accident in Yashan before, almost at the same time, they were killed in one blow, and there was no room for resistance.
"There aren't many external injuries, and there are no flesh and blood blurs, and you elders don't have a primordial infant to blow himself up. Seeing the sorrow, he also glanced around, "It seems that the strength of the murderous party is at least in the WTO, and the spells used are also spells aimed at the divine soul." It's just that this kind of technique is rare in the Yashan Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and it is extremely difficult to practice, and if you are not careful, it will backfire, and it will appear on the periphery of this snowy region, which is too strange. β
Whether it is listening to the voice or looking at the expression, she has no flaws.
But Xie Buchen just knew that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
It's just that it has nothing to do with him.
To a certain extent, the more troubled he is, the smaller the predicament he will face.
Xie Buchen didn't have any sadness on his face, he just glanced back at the bloodstains on the river beach, and said, "Everyone is dead, there is nothing unexpected." But Kunwu's people are all here, but there is no trace of Yashan monks nearby, but it is very treacherous. β
There was no sign of a beast passing on the ground.
And even if the beast passes by and gnaws at the bones, there is no reason not to move the Kunwu monk not far away.
This situation looks more like someone came here on purpose and buried the bones under the Yashan Gate first. But this is not right, if there is such a thing, the person who did it must have something to do with Yashan, but as a subordinate of Yashan, he doesn't know anything about it.
Don't say it's Xie Buchen, even if you see it, you can't understand it.
It's just that compared to Xie Buchen, she thinks a little more. In just a moment, I remembered Zhong Lanling, whom I had met in the Polar Domain......
There is still reincarnation in the snowy region, and there is a lot of collusion with the polar region, and no one knows whether there is a conspiracy hidden under the disappeared corpse.
Seeing the sorrowful brows furrowed deeply, the thousands of thoughts that flashed in her heart made her eyes stained with a little anger, but it was hidden.
Xie Buchen's question, she couldn't answer, so she didn't answer.
He just took a step, walked around the corpses all over the place, and then suddenly looked at the oldest of them.
It's the elder of Kungo.
There was not a drop of blood visible on the dark gray robe, only the dew of dawn stained the surface, and it looked like it was darker, more similar to black.
Maybe it was because the corpse had been sitting for a while, so his whole wrinkled face was a little faintly black.
It stands to reason that this is a normal corpse.
It can be seen that the sorrowful gaze stayed on it for a long time, or rather, on the blackened part of the face and the dark place on the robe that seemed to be wet with dew, for a long time.
Of course, Xie Buchen also noticed her gaze: "What did you find when you saw the sorrowful Daoyou?"
"Buzz!"
What responded to him was not the voice of sorrow, but a puff of spiritual light bursting out from the fingertips of the sorrowful, like a golden waterfall falling from the sky, rushing towards the corpse of Elder Kunwu!
The pure spiritual power filled the shriveled body almost instantly.
The elder's withered face seemed to have a divine light. Under the flood of spiritual power, even the wrinkles were propped up, and the whole face became smooth.
As a result, the anomaly that was hidden deep under the withered skin of the previous was finally nowhere to hide.
At that moment, the creepy feeling instantly traveled all over the body, and the whole scalp was numb when I saw it!
It turned out to be a black gas like a living thing!
Previously, she felt that this elder's face was faintly dark, perhaps because the corpse had been placed for a few days, but at this moment, under the pressure of spiritual power, she realized: Where is there anything that causes the body to be blackened?
Elder Kunwu's face was clearly as miserable as white ash, and he looked black because of the black qi lurking underneath!
Not only on the face, but also on the body.
Right where it looks like it's been wet with dew and looks darker.
It was all a cloud of black qi, as if it was disturbed by the urging of the spiritual power, and it was forced to float up from the elder's body, as if he was unwilling to leave the original place, so he struggled and squirmed outside the spiritual light!
is as calm as Xie Buchen, and when he saw the clouds of black gas that appeared, his face suddenly changed.
The slender five fingers lightly touched the scabbard of the Human Emperor Sword, and in an instant, the sword whispered in the scabbard, and a string of dark golden runes accompanied by the sword groan suddenly emerged from the scabbard and wrapped around his fingers.
"Poof!"
And pointed like a knife, tapping towards the black gas!
It was like a drop of cold water splashed into the oil pot, and when the dark golden rune fell, the clump of black gas trembled violently, as if it let out a piercing scream!
They squirmed wildly, and in an instant, they gathered in an instant, divided into two, condensed into two hideous giant mouths, and pounced on the two of them respectively!
The cold breath, with eternal violence and ferocity, is like a sharp thorn, piercing into the mind of the sorrowful!
Almost immediately, she turned pale and gasped.
It's just because, at this moment, the feeling of facing this black qi is the same when facing the centipede-like peerless beast in the dungeon of the night ship!
This change is only in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that there was no time to react more, at this moment, it was only like a blessing to the heart, the left hand shook, and the thumb that had been against the sword was pressed against the top, and the burning lamp sword that was originally hidden in the sheath suddenly came out of the body!
"Poof!"
An illusory lotus lamp was instantly stimulated.
The warm yellow flame burned in the center of the lamp, and the black gas that had turned into a monstrous mouth was just blocked by this lamp!
"Snort!"
The light in the wick shone brightly, as if it formed a solid barrier, and it firmly blocked the black qi from the outside. As soon as the yellow flame was lit, all the black gas seemed to be ignited, turning into a cloud of green smoke!
When the green smoke dissipated, the whole lotus cup slowly dimmed, and a small "swastika" light mark appeared at the bottom of it, and soon disappeared with the dim lotus pot.
From the change of black qi to the disappearance of the lotus cup, it was only a moment.
The change was sudden, and it was extremely dangerous, until the lamp-burning sword was automatically unsheathed, and a slight sword groan was released, and it came back to his senses when he saw the sorrow.
Then I found that there was a terrifying cold sweat behind me.
The black qi just now was aimed directly at her soul, if she hadn't reacted quickly, I was afraid that she would have been accompanied by the corpses all over the ground at this moment.
It was only at this time that she had the strength to turn her head sideways to look at Xie Buchen.
The Human Emperor Sword has been unsheathed at some point, and the black qi has disappeared. Thinking about it, Xie Buchen was general to her, and she responded to the danger and danger, so as to avoid a catastrophe.
But his face was really not good-looking, pale, and even his lips were bloodless.
Seeing that I am uncomfortable is because my soul is already broken, and when dealing with this kind of attack on my soul, it is quite clumsy. But Xie Buchen's face was also so bad......
Is it because cultivation is not enough?
Such a thought flashed through her mind.
But at this time, it is obviously not appropriate to think about these irrelevant issues.
In an instant, she had already gathered all her scattered thoughts, the Burning Lamp Sword was clenched in her palm, the vigilance was raised to the highest, and she glanced around at the corpses of the Kunwu disciples lying around them, only to feel a chill in her heart, a ghostly aura!
On the body of each corpse, there was a little black qi that seemed to be absent.
But whether it was sorrow or Xie Buchen, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while-just a little bit almost cost two people's lives!
What a horrific and vicious method this must be?
People have been dead for several days, but the black gas attached to them has never left like a bone appendage. As if devouring the divine soul was not enough, it was necessary to absorb the essence of this physical body......
"It's a ...... with fewer thorns"
Seeing sorrow, he finally remembered the name, a name that the night ship monks did not dare to mention. It was the statue in the depths of the night ship's lair, and it was also the existence in the dungeon that was wrapped in the breath of savagery, and it was also the existence that had fought with the great demon Fu Chaosheng......
I still remember the last time we met in the Xinghai, Fu Chaosheng said that he was going to the snowy region.
said that he was puzzled and tried to find the Holy Son Shanya to answer.
But in the midst of this......
Is it also related to these black gases at this moment, and to the centipede-like statue that mysteriously appeared in the sea of stars at the beginning?
Seeing sorrow, there are many thoughts in my mind.
But Xie Buchen didn't know about these. Hearing that she had just pronounced the word "less thorny", she already realized that she knew more about this matter than he did, and her brows tightened imperceptibly.
But he didn't ask much, only said: "It seems that the trip to the Extreme Region is ten times more dangerous than you and I imagined." β
As soon as they arrived at the place where the incident occurred, this unexpected danger occurred, and one can imagine how many unbelievable dangers they would encounter if they continued to go deeper according to their original plan?
Seeing the thought of this, the bottom of his eyes was also frosty.
The cloud of suspicion hanging over their heads is too deep and heavyβ
Why did the disciples of Kunwu Yashan have an accident?
This place is clearly the place where the incident occurred, why is there only the corpse of Kunwu's disciples, and not the Yashan Gate?
Where did these strange black gases that seem to be inextricably linked to the so-called "Young Thorn Great Venerable" come from?
β¦β¦
"It's all here, it's better to find out. Besides, I think Hengxu Zhenren has gone to great lengths to arrange for Xie Daoyou to come to the snowy region, and there must be something going on, so it's impossible to go back like this, right?"
Seeing the sorrow, he finally laughed slowly, and looked back at Xie Buchen.
"This corpse all over the ground, with the skills of you and me, can't be investigated. Xie Daoyou is still-"
At this point, the epilogue suddenly became sharp.
At that moment, my body tensed to the extreme, and almost at the same time as I noticed that breath, I suddenly looked back and looked towards the other side of the high and deep canyon!
But Xie Buchen's reaction was even faster than her!
The moment she looked, the figure that was not far from her had disappeared in place, and suddenly appeared where her line of sight came, standing next to the "intruder"!
The slender five fingers, like a deadly blade, were indifferently but accurately buckled on the man's neck!
is a young man.
They must have just come from nearby, wearing the crimson monk's robes they had seen before. On an otherwise handsome face, the eyes were blue and black, the eyes were spinning, the divine light was empty, and the cheeks were deeply sunken, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
At this moment, there was only complete horror left on his face, and he was so frightened by the sudden appearance of Xie Buchen that he couldn't even scream!
Tantric monks.
Although there is still a distance, I have already had several contacts with Tantra, and I can almost recognize the identity of this "uninvited guest" at a glance!
But at this moment, the question that came to her mind was not why this tantric monk appeared here, and what was the connection with the dead disciples of Yashan Kunwu.
But......
Xie Buchen's teleportation!
Build the foundation of the imperial weapon, Jindan Yukong, and the yuan baby can teleport!
But she could clearly perceive it just now, Xie Buchen's whole person disappeared from her without warning, and reappeared in the place where the tantric monk was......
So, what Wu Duan said when he talked about Xie Buchen echoed in his mind:
"Senior Brother Xie Tianzong is a genius, when he was just building the foundation, I saw that he could control the sky and ...... on the river."
Tight body, sharply constricted pupils......
All the details brewed a cold and terrifying killing intent in an instant, and he stared at Xie Buchen's figure in the distance without taking a single step.
Xie Buchen didn't seem to know anything about all this, and the spiritual light emanating from his five fingers had easily locked the panicked tantric monk in front of him.
In the middle of Jindan, it is as easy as a snap.
His cold eyebrows and eyes did not change at all, and after only one glance at this person, he looked back indifferently and asked Xiang Jianchou: "Fellow Daoist, can you use the soul searching technique?"
