Chapter 184: Ice Abyss (1)
As the name suggests, the ice abyss is a world of ice and snow, and it is still ice and snow when you look at it, but this does not mean that the ice abyss is a dead silence, and there are still countless creatures living under the thick ice. Changning has followed his senior brother all the way, and has seen dozens of animals, and occasionally a few plants that resemble ice crystals. These creatures all contain some aura in their bodies, and they are obviously not ordinary animals and plants, but demon beasts and spirit plants.
Mu Linyuan saw Changning looking around curiously, and smiled slightly: "What are you looking for?" β
"Senior brother, it's similar to the Ice Sea here, is there also killer whales?" Changning asked with a slightly excited tone.
"It's colder here than the ice sea, and killer whales can't stand the cold here." Mu Linyuan saw Changning's disappointed face, and couldn't help but ask her, "He'er, why do you like killer whales so much?" β
"I don't particularly like killer whales, it's justβ" Changning was silent for a while, and said with a gloomy expression: "My parents promised to take me to see killer whales, but they still didn't go." "I still remember that before I crossed over, my parents promised me to go to Antarctica to see killer whales, and I didn't make it to ancient times and became a baby......
"Mom and Dad is what you call your parents?" Mu Linyuan asked tentatively, he knew that He'er had Su Hui, but from her usual behavior, it could be seen that even if she had Su Hui, she would be fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and she loved sticky elders, Mu Linyuan guessed that she must have had a very close relationship with her parents in her previous life, and the only one who took her out to play could be her father.
Changning said "um", "Mom said she would take me to Antarctica to see killer whales and penguins." When it comes to her parents in her previous life, Changning's eyes are slightly red, she tried not to think about her previous life since she came to ancient times, not that she wanted to forget her previous life, but she didn't dare to think about it.
Mu Linyuan didn't know what kind of animal a penguin was, so he hugged Changning and said warmly: "What does a penguin look like?" Killer whales don't have them here, but they can be found back near the icebergs, and you can play with them if you like. β
Changning almost cried when she heard her brother's gentle voice, she blinked her eyes vigorously, looked up and smiled: "No need senior brother, I've already seen killer whales, and penguins are nothing to do, I was angry with my father at that time and said that I wanted to play with penguins." β
"Why should He'er be angry with his father?" It was rare for the little girl to mention the things of her previous life, Mu Linyuan couldn't help but want to ask more, he wanted to know more about her past.
Changning blushed, and it took him a long time before he said, "That time I wanted to go out by myself, but my father wouldn't let me, so I sneaked out, and then-" Speaking of the past of her youth and ignorance, Changning was still very ashamed, she was too willful at that time.
Mu Linyuan said clearly: "And then was captured by your father?" "If he is changed, he will not let the little girl who has not cultivated go out to play alone.
Changning nodded wistfully, at that time she happened to graduate from high school, admitted to university, thought she was an adult, at the instigation of several classmates, a few friends decided to travel to Tibet on their own, they carefully planned for a long time, and also set a plan to work halfway to make money if the money was not enough. Everyone thinks that this plan is very meaningful, and Changning is also interested in the novelty of part-time work, she feels that she is too old to use her parents' money, she should work to make money by herself if she wants to go out to play.
She went home excitedly and said, but occasionally refused her mother has not yet expressed her position, and her father, who has always asked her to give the stars and not the moon, has vetoed it, no matter how Changning is coquettish, he will not allow it, and he firmly said that if you want to go out to play, you must be accompanied by them. At that time, Changning was in the period of youth rebellion, and he was spoiled again, where was he willing to accept such a simple and crude veto? She deceived the nanny at home, asked the nanny to open the door for her, and sneaked out to meet her classmates.
She thought that she would be able to make her parents accept her self-guided tour by cutting first and then playing, but she never expected that she and her classmates would be found by bodyguards when they were still waiting for the train at the station. Completely disregarding their own self-esteem, those annoying bodyguards threw themselves in the car under the shocked gaze of their classmates, escorted themselves home. As soon as Changning came home, she cried so darkly, no matter how much her father coaxed, she refused to pay attention to him.
In the end, her mother promised to take her to Antarctica to see the killer whales and hug penguins, and she reconciled with her father. knew that she was going to cross soon, and she must stick to her parents every day so that she wouldn't be angry with her father. Changning couldn't help but blink her eyes vigorously again, she must cultivate to become an immortal, and she will definitely be able to go home to see her parents when she becomes an immortal!
Mu Linyuan listened to the little girl talk about the past intermittently, and couldn't help but laugh, he was really spoiled, but he also felt more sorry for the little girl, he was so pampered, and suddenly arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment, the panic in his heart can be imagined, no wonder she is so sensible now, she was forced to grow up, Mu Linyuan sighed secretly in his heart, "He'er, did you have a similar family to the Shen family in the past?" β
Uncle Zu said that He'er is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, such a girl should not be cultivated by idlers, but why is she so pampered? Mu Linyuan was also born in a family, and most parents in a family would not spoil their children so much, isn't this harming their children? But to say that He'er's parents are nouveau riche, He'er's usual words and deeds are definitely not from someone who has no background.
"No, the Shen family is a family, we are just ordinary people, and there are only three of us in our family." Changning said that the Shen family is a big family, and her family is just her and her parents, and she usually doesn't have much contact with relatives, how can there be so many twists and turns in the Shen family.
"Ordinary people?" Mu Linyuan raised his eyebrows, ordinary people can indulge their daughters like this, he doesn't know He'er's world, but he doesn't think that their family is not like ordinary people, "Then your father is an official born in a poor family?" β
"No, my parents don't work." Changning said that in addition to taking her out to play, her parents have been staying at home all the time, and her ability to stay at home is not unrelated to the influence of her parents.
"Not working?" Mu Linyuan was slightly stunned, "Is it at home?" "If it weren't for a family, would ordinary people have so many family backgrounds for men to stay at home?
"Yes, my parents said their biggest job was to be with me." Changning lowered her head, the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help falling, she missed her parents, she thought about it so much...... Changning's closest master among the elders and Baocha Patriarch also has an empathetic effect, because they are somewhat similar to her parents in temperament, but Changning feels that her parents have a better temperament.
Mu Linyuan hugged her and patted her on the back, "When you ascend in the future, the immortals can break through the boundary barrier, and we will go back to your previous world to see your parents." Mu Linyuan didn't say that it might be possible to wait for them to go back, her parents are no longer there, people always have to have a pursuit, and when the crane can fly, it will be at least tens of thousands of years later, so much time, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will slowly fade.
"That's what I thought too!" This is also one of the driving forces for Changning's cultivation, but the most important thing for her now is to make herself well, only if she is well, her parents will rest assured.
Mu Linyuan glanced down and coaxed her with a smile, "He'er, there are no killer whales here, but there are other interesting things, you must like them." β
"What's that?" Is this what the senior sister said about the little things unique to the ice abyss?
Mu Linyuan stretched out his hand, and there was a small thing that looked like a human baby in his palm, with a body the size of a fist, very delicate and cute, which made Changning's eyes widen, and the little thing trembled at the beginning of Mu Linyuan's palm, and after sensing Changning's breath, he raised his head timidly, the two tentacles on the top of his head shook, and the transparent wings behind him fanned out, and a little crystal powder fell, "Senior brother, what is this?" β
"This is the ice spirit, a creature unique to the ice abyss, this kind of Xiaoice spirit has no spiritual intelligence, and the high-level ice spirit is similar to the human race in terms of appearance and spiritual intelligence, but there are wings behind it." Mu Linyuan put the Xiaoice Spirit in the palm of Changning's hand, "You can catch a few and play with them if you like, this Xiaoice Spirit is very easy to raise, just feed some ice jade or spirit stones every few days." β
"There's a lot of Ice Spirits here?" Changning asked, it's one thing to be fun, the sect sent her here to guard here, and she always had to ask the information here, "Why haven't I seen it on the information?" β
"Because the ice spirit clan is hidden in the depths of the ice abyss and basically does not go out, this Xiaoice spirit also has another name called ice butterfly." Mu Linyuan said the secret that Changning didn't know, "They are the attached clan of our sect, and they will worship the top-grade ice jade and snow lotus every year. β
"They also make zuΓ² ice jade?" Changning asked.
"They don't need to make zuΓ² ice jade, ice jade is their associated mine, the higher the cultivation, the higher the grade of their associated ice jade." Mu Linyuan said.
"Since they are hidden in the depths of the ice abyss, why are there still Xiaoice spirits here?" Changning took the little thing and touched it, the little thing flew onto her shoulder, giggling at her, obviously it liked Changning more than Mu Linyuan.
"We believe that the ice butterfly belongs to the same vein as the ice spirit, and to the high-level ice spirits, the ice butterfly is a beast and cannot penetrate deep into their clan. There are not many high-level ice spirits, and ice butterflies are everywhere here. Mu Linyuan said, just as the human race does not think that they are the same race as apes, and the demon cultivators do not recognize beasts similar to their original bodies, and the ice spirits do not think that the ice butterflies that are not intelligent are their same race.
"Then the so-called ice crystal deposits here are also the associated mines of the ice spirit?" Changning heard from his senior brother about the characteristics of the ice spirit, and he also had a guess about the ice crystal ore here.
"Yes, ice crystals are ice jade, and they are called differently in different places. The six monks who are resident here are all high-level ice spirits, and if you want anything, let them take you for it. Mu Linyuan said that the Ice Abyss is not suitable for the Terrans to live in for a long time, and they need the Ice Spirit to take care of this place for them.
When Changning heard that there were still monks guarding here, he was relieved, "With their help here, I'm not afraid of retreat and cultivation." β
"Most of the disciples who come here are here to cultivate, so what time do you have to deal with trivial matters?" Mu Linyuan's sword flashed, and he took Changning to a valley, this valley is flat, compared to the ice and snow outside, the climate here is much warmer, at least the ground is planted with green pine, snow plum and other cold-resistant spiritual plants, and even the ancient pine that Changning likes has also been transplanted. Instead of dwellings, several caves were carved into the valley walls.
Mu Linyuan, as the head of the true disciples, has a very high status in the Taishang Sect, even the ordinary elders of the sect have to salute him when they see him, and the Bingyuan monks on duty are all ice spirits, and they received a message that Mu Zhenren was there in person, and they waited outside early, and when they saw the sword light landing, they stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Mu." β
Changning looked at the six monks who came out quietly, their appearance was completely no different from the human race, even the unique wings of the ice spirit were hidden by them, only the slight difference was that their faces were too pale.
Mu Linyuan introduced them: "This Uncle Shen, she will be on duty here in the future, and you will come to see them." β
The six ice spirits stepped forward to salute, and Mu Linyuan bowed his head and said to Chang Ning: "They are ice color, ice sound, ice fragrance, ice taste, ice touch, and ice method, all of which are the registered disciples of your senior brother Fang." "Senior Brother Fang is Fang Shoujing, one of the true disciples of the Taishang Sect.
How to touch color, sound, fragrance? Changning remembered their names at once, and because he heard them call him uncle, he returned them half a salute.
Bingfa stepped forward and said: "Uncle Mu, Uncle Bai ordered us to buy Uncle Shen's cave a few days ago, we cleaned up roughly, and asked Uncle Shen to take a look at it first, if there is any inconvenience, we will also modify it immediately." β
Mu Linyuan led Changning into the cave, compared to the warm valley outside, the cave is much colder, the climate is comparable to the outside ice abyss, and the aura is much more abundant than the outside world, divided into five or six stone rooms, the study, living, quiet room and other furniture are all made of ice jade, and the crystal clear and transparent ice jade shines under the reflection of the light. Changning's divine sense swept and found that the cave was leaning on an ice crystal mine, no wonder the aura here was quite rich.
She nodded to her senior brother, and Mu Linyuan saw that she liked it, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to stay with you for a while?" β
"No, I'm not a kid anymore." Changning solemnly refused.
Mu Linyuan smiled brightly, drank a cup of tea with Changning, and after instructing Liu Bingling to take good care of her, he left.
Bingfa waited for Mu Linyuan to leave, stepped forward and handed Changning a transmission note and said, "Senior Uncle Shen, we are usually on the other side of the valley, if you have anything, you can use the transmission note to order us." β
"Okay." Changning took the note and said politely: "I'm tired." β
"In addition to the ice spirits here, there are also some grass and wood elves, Uncle Shi can choose a few to serve you." Bingfa said again.
Changning said: "No, I'm usually used to being alone, I came here to concentrate on cultivation, and I won't go out lightly if there is nothing to do." "She's here to advance, not to fight for power or dominate the Ice Spirit Clan.
"Then we won't disturb Uncle Shi's cultivation." Bing Fa bowed down and led the ice spirits to withdraw.
