Chapter 037: Cold Moon
Early in the morning, after the rain.
The rain left over from last night kept dripping down the tiles of the inn's eaves, and the water droplets hanging on the branches and leaves looked so crystal clear. After a burst of rain, it not only took away the heat in the air, but also seemed to take away some of the noisy feeling of the past, and the breeze blew, and a feeling of refreshment after a long time arose.
As far as the eye can see, the whole town is shrouded in mist, and there is an indescribable mystery mixed with the haze.
"Why is it raining, wasn't it okay last night...... Fortunately, the rain has stopped, otherwise it would be trouble......" Zixiu looked up at the window from time to time while eating breakfast, muttering to himself.
Just when Zixiu was holding the steamed bun and standing up again to serve the soup, he inadvertently glanced at Yuntian next to him, and then looked at the untouched dishes and chopsticks, a little puzzled. Yun Tian was looking out the window in a daze at this time, although he couldn't see much content from his expression, he could still see that he seemed to have something on his mind from his slightly furrowed brows.
"Alas... Alas!... I said you don't hurry up to eat, what are you doing there?" Zixiu said on the side.
Yun Tian didn't seem to hear it, without the slightest reflection, his eyes were still looking straight out of the window, and he breathed a sigh of relief from time to time, and his mind was repeated by what Xiao Kuiling said last night, lingering, this was the first time he faced such a difficult choice, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts......
"It's nothing, I'm not hungry......" After a while, Yun Tiancai replied lightly.
"What's the matter, it's uncomfortable, your face isn't very good-looking, didn't you sleep well last night?" Zixiu said after taking another sip of soup. After the toss last night, Yuntian can be said to have not slept much all night, plus the words that Xiao Kuiling said later last night......
After breakfast, Yun Tian and his party began to pack their luggage and continue to hurry, Lao Li said that they must rush to Huacheng before evening.
Out of the city gate, the carriage rushed straight forward, although the road was a little muddy, but it did not have much impact. The surroundings were foggy, and without the scorching sun, it made the journey much more comfortable and comfortable.
"Huacheng really deserves to be a big city, there are so many people on this road......" After another team of people passed by, Zi Xiu looked out and sighed.
"These people, most of them are there to join in the fun...... while Xiao Kuiling said casually, seemingly carelessly.
"What's the fun?...... Do you mean some kind of appreciation meeting in that Hwaseong?" Zi Xiu suddenly became interested, and asked with excitement on his face.
"That's right" Xiao Kuiling sat cross-legged on the luggage on the side, casually nibbling on the wild fruit he picked out of nowhere.
"Don't sell it, let's talk about what the hell~" Zixiu asked with a smile on his face and full of interest. Xiao Kuiling saw that Zixiu was so interested, and originally wanted to tease him, but when he saw that the master was also curious, and when he thought that the master knew about the thunderbolt in the clear sky last night, he was in no mood to play, so he honestly told everything he knew, everything he knew.
"As for the appreciation meeting, it is actually very common in a big city like Hwaseong, there is nothing unusual, the reason why this time is so exciting and different, is because...... Someone discovered the ...... of the 'Cold Moon'"
"Hanyue, what's it, I seem to have heard of it somewhere......" Zixiu frowned slightly, struggling to search for information about Hanyue in his mind.
Suddenly, Zi Xiu was stunned, as if he remembered something, his eyes widened to the extreme, he gasped, and looked at Xiao Kui Ling with a frightened face, "Is it ......", Zi Xiu's cheeks were speechless in shock.
"That's right...... It's one of the fragments of the Trapped Dragon Stone that has been missing for nearly a thousand years......" Xiao Kui Ling said, and as he spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the direction of Yuntian's chest.
"What? is it Yuntian Stone?!" Yuntian was a little curious at first, but he didn't expect to hear such exciting news.
"No wonder I saw so many people along the way, all rushing in the direction of Hwaseong...... It turned out to be because of this stone" Yun Tian suddenly realized, and whispered to himself.
"How do you know?" Yun Tian turned his head and looked at Xiao Kuiling with a little confusion.
"Hee-hee ~ This is not last night, I see that you are all eating, I am bored to walk around alone, I heard that there are other people in a hurry at the inn chatting, I wanted to come back to tell you, but I didn't expect to see the master as soon as I came back, you ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Kuiling seemed to realize something, stopped, and quickly changed the topic.
"I should have mentioned to you two before, about the trapped dragon stone, this trapped dragon stone is condensed by the lifelong cultivation of the five relict immortals, the trapped dragon stone is one, after being broken through the seal by ...... 'that thing', the trapped dragon stone is also divided into six pieces, according to the different attributes of the five relict immortals, in addition to the master's soul stone, the remaining five pieces are called 'cold moon', 'Fengyan', 'wind spirit', 'electric light', 'earth rock'. And one of the cold moons, it is said that it is only suitable for the soul cave that is cold by nature to exert its power, the attributes of the soul cave are different, although there are not many types, but there are still a few cold soul caves. Not only does this stone have unfathomable extreme cold spiritual power, but its status is also very high among these five stones, that is, Feng Yan can barely crush it. It's not so much people grabbing it, it's picking people."
"How to pick people?!"
"This is very common, right, the general spiritual creatures, as long as the spiritual power level is slightly higher, will have their own thoughts, and the higher the level, the more perfect the thinking, like those spirit beasts whose strength is against the sky, their thoughts are much higher than that of people, and some of them can be spoken, which is why they are so difficult to deal with, in addition to living creatures, spiritual power reaches a certain level' Dead things also generate their own thoughts, but they can't speak, and it is normal for them to have thoughts like the Sleepy Dragonstone, which is unique in the world at that time, and it is difficult to deal with it......"
"As far as I know, this cold moon is extremely arrogant and isolated, and since this trapped dragon stone was broken, six trapped dragon stones have been scattered all over the continent. For thousands of years, only one person has successfully subdued Cold Moon, and the rest are basically crippled because their souls have been devoured instead of dying," Xiao Kui Ling said eloquently.
"Wow! only one person?!Who is it?" Zi Xiu listened fascinated on the sidelines, if Xiao Kuiling didn't say these things, he wouldn't be able to hear them.
"The Night Emperor... Well, I'll tell you about this character in the future, after the death of the Night Emperor, this cold moon has lost its trace. After such a long time, I thought that no one on this continent was thinking about these stones, but I didn't expect ...... It seems that the peace of this continent for nearly a thousand years is about to be broken......" Xiao Kui Ling stretched his waist and shook his head.
"Since this Cold Moon is such a rare holy relic, why do those who already have the Cold Moon release news for everyone to watch the auction?" Zi Xiu asked with a puzzled face on the side.
"I guess it's because this potato is too hot, they can't hold it......" Yun Tian replied faintly on the side, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible curvature.
"Hee-hee...... The master is right, such holy relics, unparalleled in the world, anyone who looks at it will be greedy, and in the entire continent, there are many powerful forces, but it is really sure that you can hold the trapped dragon stone with peace of mind, and there are few who do not worry about accidents, and the energy contained in the trapped dragon stone is extremely huge, and ordinary people can't control it at all, so the wisest way is to sell this 'hot potato' as soon as possible, and exchange it for something that you have to enjoy. I also heard that this time it is said to be an expo, but it is actually an auction, and it is basically impossible to exchange it for ordinary gold coins, and the major forces must take out their own treasures in exchange, so ah, this time there is not only a cold moon, but also maybe there will be many rare and strange things in the world, which will be unveiled at this auction......" Xiao Kuiling looked at the master and felt a little better, and his spirit was naturally much better.
"It seems that this expo is really lively...... Haha," Zixiu said
"This kind of exhibition should not be held by ordinary Jianghu forces, presumably we can't get in......" Yun Tian smiled slightly. As he spoke, he only heard the sound of piercing the air from above, whistling overhead, at an extremely fast speed.
Yun Tian and the others subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that a big bird with wings spread and dozens of zhang wide covered the sky and the sun, flying towards the direction of Huacheng, and there were more than a dozen figures standing on the back of the big bird. It's just that it's a human, but it's not quite human, the big bird has to be very fast, and before he can look closely, the big bird disappears into the distance.
"What is the thing on the back of that big bird, it looks so strange, it looks like a person has wings," Zixiu said jokingly after sitting back in his place.
"That's supposed to be the Yu people who live in the deep mountains in the north, but I didn't expect that even this kind of Yu tribe who live in the deep mountains for a long time will come......" Xiao Kuiling smiled with a lively attitude. Yun Tian leaned to the side, his eyes looked at the Yun Tian Stone in his hand and fell into contemplation again, and the words that Xiao Kui Ling said last night once again appeared in his mind......
"Master, the seal of life and death has been broken, your identity as a Quat is no longer a secret, and the most tricky thing now is how to break the soul cave seal in your body," Xiao Kui Ling said solemnly.
"Didn't you say that if the seal of the soul cave is broken, the soul nest inside will be easy to discover?"
"Don't worry about this, I have a way, but the most important thing now is how to break the seal of the first soul cave"
"The first soul cave, can't all the soul cave seals be broken at the same time?"
"Of course not, at least not now, if nothing else, if you just break through the seal of the first soul cave...... It's possible that you won't die," Xiao Kuiling said this, his tone was unconsciously much weaker, helpless but more should be worried.
"What, is it so dangerous?" Yun Tian exclaimed, this had not yet started cultivating, he was already facing such a test of life and death, it seemed that what he had imagined before was still too easy.
"Your seals are sealed in the soul nest of every soul cave, and the strength of each seal is unprecedented, this is the most taboo in the seal, for a Quet person, the soul cave is undoubtedly a fatal blow, which means that although he has the identity of this Quet person, he can only live like an ordinary person, and even worse than an ordinary person. Don't talk about continuing to cultivate......"
"Is there any way to break the seal?" said Yun Tian expressionlessly.
"There is a way, but it's just ......," Xiao Kuiling whispered with his head down.
"Come on, what's the ......," Yun Tian urged.
"Need to go through...... Yin and Yang Tribulation"
"Yin and Yang Tribulation, what's it, let's be clear?"
"To put it simply, you have to die first, and the reason why not too many people have tried this is because, so far, there are very few people who can succeed," Xiao Kuiling said worriedly.
"This method is really a life of death," Xiao Kuiling continued. Although Yun Tian had been mentally prepared before, he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
"Master, forget it, this is too risky, and this is the only way to do it at the moment......
"Is the difficulty really just given up?" Yun Tian thought in his heart, all that appeared in his mind was the figure of his father, how to choose, Yun Tian fell into deep thought, sat on the edge of the bed, looked straight out of the window, I don't know when it rained outside, a cool breeze blew in and extinguished the candle, Xiao Kui Ling sighed, shook his head and slowly walked to Yun Tian and sat down, leaning against the wall like the master silently......
......
The carriage was speeding on the road, and from time to time there would be people and horses in strange costumes passing by, and Xiao Kui Ling was playing with Zi Xiu in the carriage, Yun Tian suddenly said "I decided" The voice was not loud, but Zi Xiu and Xiao Kui Ling heard it, and the sound of playing stopped abruptly.
"What, what are you talking about?" Zixiu said with a puzzled expression. Only Xiao Kui Ling could understand what the master meant by this sentence, at first Xiao Kui Ling thought that Yun Tian would give up, after all, he was a teenager and had never experienced this kind of thing. But looking at Yuntian's expression just now, Xiao Kuiling chuckled in his heart, thinking that the master should have chosen the result that everyone didn't want to see......
