Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 218 Farewell
The golden jar rose and fell, and almost all the bacteria had climbed up. Sumeru jumped on Xu Xuan's face, pricked his nostrils with a thin needle, and saw that he had no snort and no sneezes, so he was very disappointed, and turned his head and shouted: "Sister, this guy is really dead"
Princess Mustard Seed's face was pale, and she stared at Xu Xuan in a daze, without saying a word. Although this kid is annoying with a grin, but listening to him flamboyantly shouting "lady" for a few months, there is a subtle change in my heart unconsciously, and when I heard that he is dead, I almost shed tears.
The surrounding waves were boiling, Xuanwu roared and churned for a moment, the fury gradually subsided, and slowly dived into the sea, revealing only the long snake neck and a small piece of turtle back, and slowly swam towards the north.
The fungus people chirped: "Xuanwu escaped, Xuanwu escaped" Princess Mustard Seed Yilin, shouted: "Wang Taro, this kid is dead, don't waste any more time, don't catch up with Xuanwu, but I don't know what year and month it will be able to subdue it"
Wang Chongyang woke up like a dream, immediately picked up Xu Xuan, used the "mustard seed trick" to shrink the golden jar to the size of a palm, put it in his arms, and chased Xuanwu on the waves. After a few ups and downs, he jumped on the turtle that rose out of the sea with the sea holly
After Xuanwu smashed the Nuwa seal, he obviously had no fear, and he had no intention of throwing them off, so he raised his neck and whined, and walked leisurely through the waves, faster and faster.
The part of the turtle shell that protrudes from the sea is about a hundred feet in circumference, like a small round island, and the waves are split by the giant neck of the basalt, setting off two tall and long walls of turbulent water, rolling and spewing around the sides of the turtle shell. Wang Chongyang stepped on the back of the mossy turtle, the soles of his feet slipped, swaying left and right, and almost rolled over several times. The mushrooms in the golden jar in their arms were even more shocked.
These fungus people have lived on Mount Geeta for generations, never leaving, and they all panicked when they saw the volcano disappear farther and farther away into the dark sea.
Some shouted repeatedly, urging Wang Chongyang to quickly enlarge the golden urn and subdue Xuanwu; Some complained to each other, blaming each other for pulling themselves onto the thief ship, and since then they have left their homes, never smelling the fragrant sulfur again; Others beat their chests and feet, crying and crawling out of the jar, trying to jump into the ocean and swim back to Mount Geeta...... Chatter, chaos.
Princess Mustard Seed calmed down at this time, stood in Wang Chongyang's ear, and said loudly: "The Nuwa seal has been broken, even if you return to the volcano, it is useless If you want to suppress Xuanwu, you can only use it while it is asleep, and work together to seal it with the divine jar in one fell swoop." ”
The mushrooms looked at each other and became quiet, but they quickly became elated again when they thought that as long as they waited until Xuanwu fell asleep, they would be able to subdue the fierce beast and return home.
But they rejoiced too soon. That "Xuanwu" probably slept in the "Abbot Mountain" for tens of thousands of years, and now he is in good spirits, and he didn't want to sleep for a moment, and in the next half a "month", he rode the wind and waves all day long, and spun around like joy. sometimes tossed and flapped, stirring up a tsunami; Sometimes they burrow into the bottom of the sea and startle the fish.
Wang Chongyang chased after him, and he suffered a lot. Fortunately, the ice neon spider web is tough and long, no matter how deep Xuanwu dives to the bottom of the sea, no matter how fierce the wind and waves are, it always haunts him firmly, and rises and falls with the fierce beast
After half a "month", Xuanwu seemed to be tired of carnival, and floated leisurely on the ice ocean again, continuing to march slowly towards the north. Wang Chongyang was also exhausted, and in addition to sitting and pranayama every day, he continued to convey true qi to Xu Xuan, trying to "wake him up".
I don't know if it's because of the cold and freezing in Beihai, although Xu Xuan's heartbeat and breathing are completely absent, his body is still soft, and there is no sign of rancidity. Wang Chongyang had the idea of luck, no matter how the snake saintess scolded and reprimanded, he couldn't bear to throw his "corpse" into the sea.
After more than a "month" like this, Xu Xuan's body was frosty and condensed, and finally became more and more stiff, and Wang Chongyang gradually despaired, only Hai Dongqing still refused to give up, brought fresh fish every day, and threw it on Xu Xuan's chest. Every time the fungus people wanted to surround and grab food, they were all pecked by it and driven away.
The further north you go, the more ice floes, and everywhere there are icebergs hundreds of feet high, in a variety of shapes and shapes. was pushed by Xuanwu, rumbled violently, and kept collapsing and smashing. The hearts of the fungus were terrified, and they did not know where the beast was going to take them.
On this "day", Wang Chongyang woke up and suddenly heard an extremely pleasant sound, "clanging". However, I saw that there were hundreds of sharp and high ice towers standing on the sea in front of me, each of which was about 18 stories high, exquisitely carved, white and transparent, reflecting the aurora in the sky, the light was bizarre, magnificent and strange. Those crisp sounds are made by the ice bells on the tip of the octagonal eaves of the ice tower.
Everyone is surprised, this is already the far north, not to mention people, even whales are difficult to see. Who carved such a magnificent tower here? What is the meaning of this?
Wang Chongyang's heart jumped suddenly, remembering that his mother had said that there was a tower of the dead at the end of the North Sea, and under the tower was a ninety-thousand-deep abyss of the underworld, wandering all the souls of the dead who had not been reincarnated since ancient times. It is said that only the undead who climb from the bottom of the abyss to the spire can gain eternal life. Is this the place?
Xuanwu also seemed to be timid, craned his neck and whined, lazily turned around, and swam westward.
Wang Chongyang glanced at Xu Xuan's pale face, his heart moved, hesitated for a moment, picked him up, flew through the waves, and rushed to the top of one of the ice towers. The ice tower is more than 40 zhang high, and the tower room on the top floor is extremely spacious, which can accommodate ten people lying together.
Wang Chongyang carefully placed him on the ice of the tower room, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, the will of heaven is dark, maybe the time has come for you and me to part." May you sleep peacefully here and ascend to the immortal realm. ”
The fungus people buzzed and responded: "Sleep here and ascend to the immortal realm." Sleep here peacefully and ascend to the fairy realm. Princess Mustard was shocked, only to realize that he was going to leave Xu Xuan in this ice tower, and her nose was inexplicably sour, and she was stunned.
Suddenly, I heard the snake saint Gege laugh and said, "It's not bad to be able to sleep here." Wang Chongyang, today should also be the time for you and my master and apprentice to say goodbye. ”
Wang Chongyang was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Master" Although she knows that after these few months, her Yuan Shen has been extremely weak, and it is only a matter of time before she turns into a feather and ascends to the immortal, but when it comes to the moment, tears still can't help but gush out of her eyes.
The snake saintess whispered: "Wang Chongyang, the three enemies I hate the most in my life, one is Ao Wuming, one is Master Li, and the other is the green dragon demon, now that all three are dead, I have no regrets." It's just that the 'White Tiger Pitu, which has not yet been recovered, has been stolen by the demon girl Xiaoqing, since you are the heir of my god clan, you should inherit the will of Nuwa, subdue Xuanwu, eliminate Xiaoqing, and recover the lost Pitu......"
Every time she said a word, Wang Chongyang responded respectfully, but when it came to "eliminating Xiaoqing", Wang Chongyang's heart trembled, and the answer was in his throat.
The snake saintess Huo Ran was alert and said angrily: "Boy, do you want to resist the master's order" Wang Chongyang was startled and hurriedly said: "Don't dare"
The snake saint girl snorted and said hatefully: "That little slut pretended to be Nuwa Niangniang and stole the Ziqing double sword, and he was already innocent, and now he deceived Chao Pitu and released Xuanwu, which is an unforgivable crime. If you dare to show favoritism, even if I become a lonely ghost, I will never let you go."
Wang Chongyang's face was red, his ears were red, he calmed down, and said in a low voice: "The apprentice obeys the teacher's orders." ”
Only then did the snake saint calm down her anger, and after a while, she sighed and said, "Wang Chongyang, you are kind-hearted, you are a rare good child, but you ...... It's just that you can't be as gullible as me and trapped by love......" After a pause, he said sadly: "You must know that the most difficult monster in the world to ambush is not Qinglong, nor Xuanwu, but a'love, word." Once you release it, you will never recover, and life is better than death. ”
Xiao Qing's smile flashed in Wang Chongyang's mind, his breathing was like a blockage, and his heart was even more stinging and sore like a knife, and he wanted to answer, but he couldn't say a word.
A gust of wind blew, the ice bells collided, and I only heard the snake saint Gege laughing: "The world lasts forever, and there will be a farewell." Wang Chongyang, we are destined to see you again in the next life" A pale green light and shadow floated out from above his head, was swept away by the wind, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Listening to the buzzing of the bacteria: "See you in the next life, see you in the next life" Wang Chongyang suddenly burst into tears, all the sadness that had been accumulated in the past few months, at this moment, was like a flood bursting the embankment, and it was difficult to suppress it.
After a long while, he held back his sorrow, wiped his tears, took all the fungus people into his arms with the golden urn, and arched his hand towards Xu Xuan's "corpse", saying: "For a long time, there will be a farewell." Brother Xu, we are destined to see you in the next life. The wind rushed out of the ice tower and chased after the "Xuanwu" waves several miles away.
The wind is blowing and the icebergs are blowing. Jumped onto the back of the basalt turtle, turned his head to look, and still saw the sea holly screaming, hovering on the top of the ice tower, as if bidding farewell to him for Xu Xuan.
As winter turns to summer, the sun gradually lights up from the junction of the sky and the sea in the east, illuminating the hundreds of ice towers layer by layer, shining with golden light.
The ice floes tumbled and flowed past the ice towers in patches. Day after day, sea holly shuttled back and forth between the top of the tower and the ice ocean, picking up fresh fish, flying and throwing it next to Xu Xuan, and repeatedly jumping on his chest, pecking lightly, and screaming.
The sunlight slanted into the tower chamber through the window, slowly moving, shining on his feet, over his body, over his face, and then disappearing into a dim corner.
The cold wind howled, the ice bells swayed, and as the pale sun set over the western horizon, the first blizzard swept through the ice tower, and the polar night came again.
Then night went on, and the Arctic sun lit up the ice tower again. Sea holly flutters its wings at the top of the tower, watching the whales chirp in the distance, and the water columns dance into the sky as the warm current cruises over the sea to the south. It didn't notice that at this moment, in the tower room below it, Xu Xuan's ear suddenly moved slightly
