Chapter 295: Against the Cold
Mu Shan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "What do you know?" ”
Before Yan Xia could answer, Beigong Boyu's voice had already sounded again, with a little anger: "The girl can't help but underestimate my Beigong Boyu." …… Well, you come here first, and I'll explain the details to you one by one. ”
"I won't leave here until I rescue Xiuniang!" Mu Shan was the first to step on the ice road, and then the others followed, and the ice road began to fly slowly, like a jade belt, shuttling between the pavilions and platforms, bringing Mu Shan and others to a barren and lonely mountain peak.
At the mountainside of "Bang ......", the seemingly integrated and flawless mountain wall suddenly rumbled to open to both sides, revealing a huge mountain gate about two feet high, bringing Mu Shan and others into a quiet and deep cave.
"Here...... It is the forbidden land of the Ice Jade Sect, and it has always been only allowed by the sect master to set foot in. Presumably this is where the reverse water cold was discovered. ”
Hearing Yan Xia's introduction, Mu Shan immediately looked up with interest and looked around, only to see that the cave was extremely wide, about forty zhang high, and the four walls were covered with ice crystals, exuding a bright light, illuminating everything in the cave. Under the cave wall, there are still many unknown passages, and I don't know where they lead.
On a stone platform about a foot high in front, there is a sharp sword about three feet long, the sword body is composed of ice crystals, and there is a crescent moon at the hilt, winding to the sword body, clear and exquisite. The slightest chill, dense into mist, swirled behind the long sword, rising, covering a cave wall, and the cold hit people.
"The girl seems to know a lot about my Ice Jade Sect, and she hasn't asked for advice yet?"
The person in front of the stone platform slowly turned around, it was Beigong Boyu who had kidnapped Xiu Niang before.
Mu Shan's gaze could no longer be removed when he passed an ice sculpture on the ground, and he asked with tears in his eyes: "What happened to Xiuniang?" ”
"Little brother, don't worry, if I want to harm her, I don't have to go to great lengths to bring her here. Floating is rampant, and in the world, the only thing that can restrain him is the divine sword in front of him! Beigong Boyu stretched out his hand and pointed at the reverse water cold behind him, and said: "She is an extremely lucky person, she is controlled by the floating resentment, and the only thing in the world that can save her is this sword." In a moment, she will be able to come to her senses. ”
"Would you be so kind?" Mu Shan's tone improved greatly, stared at Beigong Boyu in disbelief, and said, "What are the conditions?" ”
"In my Ice Jade Sect, there is such a legend. Whoever can control the adverse water and cold will be able to lead the Ice Jade Sect to a more brilliant and powerful future, and even be able to compete with the Fuxi Palace, Nuwa Palace, Baicaolu, and Luowu Pavilion in the world. ”
"So you ignored the taboo and forcibly pulled out the backwater cold?" Yan Xia said coldly: "Have you forgotten the last words left by the sect masters of the past dynasties, no one can touch this divine sword!" ”
“…… I was also driven to a dead end, and I had to do it as a last resort! Beigong Boyu's face swelled with thick exhaustion, sighed, and said, "Have you ever heard of selling official porridge?" ”
"I've heard a little." Zhou Yu had a look of regret on his face, and said warmly: "The price of Sangong is 10 million yuan, and the price of Jiuqing is 5 million yuan. In addition to the fixed price, it can also be increased or decreased at any time according to the value of the seeker and the property he owns. Generally speaking, the price of an official position is calculated based on the annual salary of an official, for example, the price of an official position of 2,000 stone per year is 20 million yuan, and the price of an official position of 400 stone is 4 million yuan, that is to say, the price of an official position is 10,000 times the annual income of an official. ”
"Sikong Zhang Wen's position as the third prince was also bought with money. In the future, when an official is transferred, promoted, or a new official takes office, he must pay one-third or one-fourth of the price of the official position, that is, the official must first pay the equivalent of his legal income of more than 25 years. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's voice gradually lowered, as if he was extremely ashamed: "The west is cold and bitter, and the officials are afraid that they won't be able to take out so much money, so they ......"
"The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth!" Mu Shan was puzzled: "What do you say have to do with the cold water?" Could it be that you want to sell the backwater, raise some money, buy an official, and live the addiction of the official master? ”
"Hehe, relationship, relationship is big." Beigong Boyu smiled bitterly again and again, and said: "The official wants to pay him twenty-five years of salary first, who do you think will raise this huge amount of money?" spent such a big price to become an official, what do you think they are trying to do? As this son said, the west is cold and bitter, and life is already difficult, so how can there be extra spare money to hand over to those parents! ”
"If you don't pay it, what can you do besides selling your sons and daughters? Since the court doesn't give us a way to live, what can we do except rebel? ”
"Rebellion...... The price of failure is to wipe out the Nine Clans, hehe, an out-and-out point of no return! Beigong Boyu's expression gradually became hideous, like a wounded beast, silently licking the wound: "It's a pity that the official army is not so easy to dismiss, at first we couldn't even conquer Jincheng, and the imperial court has received the news and sent Huangfu Song to quell the rebellion." ”
“…… The Yellow Turban Uprising, the fate of the losers, you have already seen. The land of the Central Plains, ten rooms and nine emptiness. Xiliang personnel are already scarce, if it fails, how many people and how many households can be left? As a last resort, I thought of the cold water, maybe only this legendary sword with supreme power can help us escape! ”
Beigong Boyu looked back at the divine sword on the stone platform, and said with a miserable smile: "He really lives up to my expectations, in front of him, the strong city walls and the tenacious defenders have become a joke." However, just when I thought I could march into Luoyang, I was shocked to find out what kind of demon I had unleashed! ”
Beigong Boyu flicked his right hand, and the dense fog gathered behind the cold water slowly spread to both sides, revealing the true face of the things hidden behind it.
It was a huge red bear, with a mane that seemed to be dripping with blood, and a pair of pitch-black pupils full of ferocity and madness, as if it wanted to devour all living beings in the world.
Even after a distance, even if he knew that it would not be able to break out of the ice wall for the time being, at that moment, Mu Shan still couldn't help but shudder.
"I found out early, and before he was completely out of trouble, I inserted the reverse water cold back into the sword platform and temporarily restrained him. It's a pity that now his ability to go against the cold is gradually declining, and the shackles on him are quietly loosening. It may be next year, it may be next month, or it may be tomorrow, he will get out of the cave wall, and it will not be Xiliang who will suffer, but the whole world! ”
Yan Xia suddenly asked, "How much do you know about floating?" ”
“…… Now he has no substance, if he is out of the frozen state, it will be difficult for resentment to condense for a long time, as fast as half a month, slow as a month, he will disappear from this world. The Ice Jade Sect has a range of hundreds of miles, and all living beings have been controlled by him, so once he gets out of trouble, the parasitic body will not be a problem. ”
Beigong Boyu's gaze quietly shifted, and it fell on Mu Shan: "And what we have to do is to seal him into the Yuwang Ding after he gets out of trouble." Under this premise, it is necessary to know to which body he will be attached to. If it were an ordinary body, he would be incarnated in thousands of incarnations, making us unpredictable; If the physical body is strong enough, or if it is a special bloodline, then he will be united......"
With such an obvious intention, how could Mu Shan not feel it, and sneered at the moment: "You want me to be this container?!" ”
