Chapter 156: The Arctic Ice Sea (Part I)
"Brother Ao." Changning was much more familiar with Ao Chu's breath, and he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was not as sensitive as the first time.
Ao Chu smiled lightly at Changning, "He'er." The gentle smile is like the rising sun, dispelling the haze on Ao Chu's body, and the dazzling eyes are so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.
Changning heard Ao Chu call her nickname, she felt a little uncomfortable, she was not used to men other than the elders calling her nickname, she had been in the same family with Qi Yao for so many years, and Qi Yao had never called herself by her nickname. Mu Linyuan frowned slightly, and glanced at Ao Chu warningly, Ao Chu is not like ordinary dragons who will estrus at will, but there are also a lot of peach blossoms around him, he beckoned Changning to come over, "Why did you come out?" Mu Linyuan asked softly.
"I want to get out and walk." Changning said, "Senior brother, you are busy first, and I'll go for a walk outside." β
"Where are you going?" Mu Linyuan asked.
"I'm just walking around the neighborhood, and they want to come out and play." Changning replied.
"It's not safe here, I'll go with you wherever you want to go." Mu Linyuan said.
"Then I'm not going." Changning hurriedly said, "Senior brother, you are busy first." β
"There's no hurry, we're going to go ashore anyway." Mu Linyuan said.
Changning swept his eyes and was surprised to find that they seemed to have arrived in a very cold sea area, with icebergs floating everywhere, and a large ice field not far away, "Senior brother, what is this place?" β
"This is the Arctic Ice Sea." Mu Linyuan took the Kunpeng boat and pulled Changning to go, he and Ao Chu had already changed their appearances, and Changning also brought β‘β‘ and tea mist. Without the prohibition of the Kunpeng boat, even if Changning had an aura to protect his body, he could clearly feel a cold air coming, Mu Linyuan took out a cloak and put it on her, "The cold here is not like the mortal world, there are some cold places, even Jindan monks will get frostbitten." β
I don't know what kind of animal fur this cloak is made of, it is soft and smooth, and as soon as I put it on, I felt a pleasant warmth hit me, Changning put down the cloak, "Senior brother, where is your cloak?" "The cloak on her body is obviously a woman's one, and it was specially prepared for her by her senior brother.
"I don't need it yet." Mu Linyuan took her hand and walked with the sword, and Ao Chu stood beside Mu Linyuan with his hands in his hands.
Changning wanted to ask Senior Brother where they were going now, but he was afraid of disturbing him to do business, so he simply kept silent Senior Brother Ren and led her away, anyway, Senior Brother must have arranged it. Her gaze did not move, but her divine sense tentatively swept around, admiring the scenery of the sea of ice, and only cautiously avoided Ao Chu.
Ao Chu looked at the little girl with interest, she was really a little beauty, a few points better than Yun Huang, and her temperament was also well-behaved, no wonder Mu Linyuan treated her much better than Yun Huang.
Mu Linyuan looked at Ao Chu coldly, Ao Chu laughed, "Are you going to take her with you?" β
Mu Linyuan rarely hesitated when he heard this, "No, I want to explore the way first." β
During the period of retreat in Changning, Mu Linyuan had been speculating on the whereabouts of his parents' remains, but it seemed that he had always been covered with a layer of fog, and it was not until he came here and found the ice sea whirlpool that he was sure that his parents' remains were in the ice sea whirlpool. But his father was already a Jin Dan cultivator, and his mother was also a monk at the peak of the foundation building, and she was a descendant of the Flying Immortals, and she had countless magic weapons on her body, so it was reasonable not to fall into the ice sea whirlpool, and there was no great danger there.
The rumor of the ice sea whirlpool has been circulating in the Wuyuan Sea for a long time, Mu Linyuan had heard it in Yingzhou back then, this whirlpool is about a hundred miles in radius, and the sea current is fierce and turbulent, but under the whirlpool is an independent space, this space is not a secret realm, it can only be regarded as an underwater world separated by a formation, which has the special product of the ice sea. This kind of flower has a beautiful appearance, aroma and nourishing effect, and is very popular with female cultivators.
The most dangerous place in the ice sea whirlpool is the whirlpool at the entrance, if you are not careful, you will be twisted into meat sauce by the whirlpool, but the Jindan monk can safely pass the guΓ² whirlpool by relying on his physical strength alone, the whirlpool is not dangerous, and the monks who go in can basically come out unharmed, it is a rare comfortable place in the Abyss Sea, and many monks love to bring their partners here to enjoy the scenery. In Mu Linyuan's memory, his parents have always been affectionate, and it is not surprising that his father would bring his mother here.
They must have passed the whirlpool safely, otherwise it would not be their turn to calculate where they are now, and their bones have long been gone, but why did they fall in a rare safe place in the Abyssal Sea? Is someone framing or is there another danger under the maelstrom? This uncertainty made Mu Linyuan dare not take Changning lightly. He wanted to explore the road first, if the bones of his parents were inside, he would return to Taishangzong with He'er, and if there was any accident, he would come out first to send He'er back to Taishangzong. Mu Linyuan also has a jade talisman on his body that can tear apart the space, this kind of jade talisman can only be made by the Yang God Ancestor, and he is not good at repeatedly bothering the Jiuhua Ancestor.
"Then let's go to my other courtyard for a while." Ao Chu said.
Mu Linyuan had no objection, the environment here was not much different from the Yin Underworld Island, he was not worried that He'er was alone in the rented cave mansion, and Ao Chu's annex defense was definitely better than the rented cave mansion. Mu Linyuan turned his head and wanted to talk to Changning, but saw the little girl's eyes staring at a certain place without blinking, he followed Changning's gaze and found that it was a few female whales playing with two calves, Mu Linyuan's divine sense swept several times and did not find any special circumstances, even Ao Chu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, "He'er, what are you looking at?" Mu Linyuan asked.
"Senior brother, you see it's a killer whale! And baby killer whales! It turns out that killer whales are born so big! "She's been in the Abyss Sea for so long, and it's the first time she's seen a killer whale! I saw so many at once.
The little girl's overly excited tone made Mu Linyuan stunned, and he asked tentatively, "Do you like killer whales?" Changning once went to the sea to play with dolphins, and he thought she liked this kind of docile sea creatures, but he didn't think she also liked killer whales.
"Well, aren't they cute?" Changning stared intently at the killer whales, she had only seen them on TV, but she had never seen them.
Lovely? Mu Linyuan couldn't associate the word cute with killer whales at all, he saw that the little girl's soul was about to fly away with this group of killer whales, raised his hand and grabbed the void, and those killer whales floated into the air, he waved again, the killer whales had become the size of a finger and fell into his palm, he threw these small fish into a fist-sized sea ball, and handed the water ball to Changning, "Take it and play." β
Changning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want it!" Brother, put them back quickly. β
"Don't you like killer whales?" Mu Linyuan asked puzzled.
"It's because I like them that I don't catch them, how good they are free now." Changning said as a matter of course.
Mu Linyuan shook his head with a chuckle, and shook the water balloon in his hand, "I really let it go?" β
Changning nodded vigorously, Mu Linyuan threw the balls into the sea, and the killer whales were tossed, freed, and dived into the deep sea in fright.
"There are so many monsters here, their lives are in danger at any time, if you take them, they will be safe and smooth for a lifetime." Ao Chu suddenly said, "If you release them now, maybe they will die tomorrow." β
Changning didn't really want to discuss this kind of question with Ao Chu that had no fixed answer, she always felt that Ao Chu's words seemed to mean something else, not aimed at killer whales, but it was not good to ignore him, so she said on the matter: "They have lived here for generations, if it is really so precarious, there will be no trace of killer whales here, and who can guarantee that they will not have any risks in this life, maybe I will accept it today, and they will die tomorrow." β
"Isn't it adaptable?" Ao Chu repeated softly.
Could this Ao Chu have any emotional problems? Changning secretly thought in his heart, but this was someone else's private matter, Changning didn't think much about it, and continued to look at the creatures in the sea with great interest, Mu Linyuan slowly slowed down when he saw this.
Ao Chu's courtyard was in a city with a city wall made of ice blocks, and the three of them landed slowly not far from the city, their current outfit was like an ordinary foundation building, and the three of them lined up to slowly pass through the city gate. Changning took advantage of the queue to take a closer look at the city bricks, although these city bricks were cold ice condensation, but there was no leakage of cold air, warm as jade, Changning touched it tentatively with his divine sense, and found that the internal structure of the ice cube was extremely tight, and it was extremely difficult for her divine sense to enter, a bit similar to the ice spirit beads she had refined before, but they were much more stable than the ice spirit beads.
"Senior brother, what is this?"
"This is Ice Jade, which can also be called Ice Spirit, which is similar to the refining method of Ice Spirit Beads, except that Ice Spirit Beads are used for attack, which can be used for defense and can also be used to burn talismans." Mu Linyuan said, "The cold here is strong, resources are scarce, and ice is the most common material, which is rare in other places." β
Changning found that there were very few mortals here, and the most of them were demon cultivators, and I think it was because of the difficult environment, and mortals couldn't survive here at all. Ao Chu paid the fee for the three of them, and led the two to a deep and secluded alley, the houses in the alley were quite simple in appearance, and the clothes and weapons of the monks who occasionally came and went were not very valuable, obviously belonging to the civilian area of the city.
But push open the courtyard door into the small courtyard, and the outside world is two worlds, this small courtyard covers an area is not wide, the main house and the left and right sides are built with a three-story small building, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious, and the courtyard also places a coral. Ao Chu said: "You choose a place to live by yourself." With that, he walked into the main room.
Changning looked at Mu Linyuan, "Senior brother, are we going to live here for a long time?" β
Mu Linyuan entered the residence on the left side with her, and after setting up the defensive formation, he led Changning into his cave, and then said his plan, he wanted to go to the Ice Sea Vortex with Ao Chu to explore the way, if it was smooth, he should be able to find the remains of his parents in two or three days, if it didn't go well, he would also come out first, and send Changning Hui Sect to go in again.
Ice sea whirlpools? This name is very dangerous when you hear it, "Senior brother, you want to go alone?" Wouldn't it be dangerous? Or I'll go with you-" Changning wanted to accompany her senior brother, but she had few places to help along the way, and there were many places to drag her feet, so would she become a drag on her senior brother when she went in.
"You don't have to go with me, I'll go in with Ao Chu." Mu Linyuan said that He'er had no power to protect herself, and he couldn't take her to a place where he wasn't even sure if it was safe. Ao Chu came to ask Mu Linyuan about the Heart Mantra, and when he heard that he was going to the Ice Sea Vortex, he said that he wanted to go with him, Mu Linyuan thought that his strength was not bad, and the two had worked together several times before, and they had been very pleasant.
Changning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Ao Chu was also going, Ao Chu was also in the Jindan period, and the senior brother still had 5,000 soldiers, which should be enough to keep him safe.
"I'll let Muta stay and protect you." Mu Linyuan said.
"Don't!" Changning objected without thinking, "There are so many formations here, how can I be in any danger?" β
Mu Linyuan shook his head, "After all, this is Ao Chu's place. "It's not that Mu Linyuan thinks Ao Chu has bad intentions, it's that he has always been cautious and rarely trusts outsiders completely.
"Then senior brother, just find a hidden place with me, I will hide in Bai Yujing and not come out, wait for you to call me." Changning said.
Mu Linyuan shook his head, "No, Bai Yujing's defense is not enough, and it will be shattered with one blow." β
"But if even the formation here is shattered, how high should the monk's cultivation be? Such a monk will not come to trouble me, I can run away with the hidden cicada wings and the escape talisman, and it will be inconvenient for them to have more Muda. Changning said, "The most important thing now is to find the remains of my uncle and aunt, Mu Da and they are all Jin Dan cultivators, and they will definitely be able to help the senior brother after entering the whirlpool." β
Changning's words are not nonsense, Ao Chu's small courtyard seems inconspicuous, but the formation that can be set up can at least block the Yuanying monk from trying his best to strike three times, Changning himself also has a formation, and the senior brother will also set up a domain for himself before leaving, as long as this kind of defense is not a Yang God cultivation, it is absolutely safe. If there is really a Yang God Monk appears, let alone five Jindan Demon Cultivators, even fifty or five hundred are in vain, but Changning can leave invisibly with the Hidden Cicada Wing, and the Hidden Cicada Wing and the tea mist are both magic weapons that can blind the Yang God Monk.
Mu Linyuan thought about it, He'er's cultivation is not high, and there are a lot of things on her body to escape, as long as it is not particularly aimed at her, she should have no problem defending herself. She is not familiar with life here, who would come to hunt down her little foundation building monk? He is only going to go down for three days, and even if he doesn't find the remains of his parents in three days, he will come back and send He'er back to the sect first, "I will set up a teleportation formation nearby, if it is really dangerous, you can use this formation to leave." Mu Linyuan said.
"Senior brother, didn't you say that this kind of teleportation array can only be used by you alone?" Changning asked suspiciously, Senior Brother's spatial span seems to be similar to Dunguang, but Dunguang can be detected by people, and Senior Brother's teleportation is completely out of nowhere, which is similar to opening two doors of time and space, which will send Rang to a certain place in an instant. There will definitely be a limit to this kind of teleportation, and Senior Brother won't spend a lot of money, right?
"A short distance can be made into a teleportation card." Mu Linyuan wrote lightly, he didn't say that these two pieces of jade talisman zuΓ² needed his own essence blood, "I placed a teleportation card on the reef outside the ice cityβ"
"It's placed in the ice sea whirlpool, and if I'm in danger, I'll come to my senior brother." Changning said.
"Don't mess aroundβ" Mu Linyuan frowned, "The Ice Sea Vortex should be a natural formation, and my jade talisman may not work." β
"Then put it outside, if I use this array, it will definitely be very dangerous here, instead of walking around, I might as well wait for you in one place." Changning said, "Anyway, just in case." β
"Crooked!" Mu Linyuan tapped her forehead lightly, but he was also ready to put the formation card outside the ice sea whirlpool, if the formation here is broken, it will be almost the same wherever the crane goes, it is better to come directly to himself, "I will leave Mu Da, in case there is really danger, he can also protect you to come to me." "Mu Da is the highest cultivation among Mu Linyuan's five Jindan demon attendants.
Changning knew that this was the limit of the senior brother, and he didn't continue to argue with the senior brother, "Okay, maybe the senior brother got off the whirlpool and came up in half an hour." β
Mu Linyuan, "Accept your auspicious words." β
