Chapter 051: No Signs of Life
As for the person at the center of the topic at the moment, where is it?
On the snow-capped mountains, three figures, two large, two and three figures were exploring something in the snow.
Murong Qiufeng is indeed as they understand, he will not ignore the overall situation for this little thing, as long as it does not exceed his bottom line, even if he will be displeased, but there are things that should be done, he still goes back to do it.
People who are familiar with his temperament naturally understand, so Yuxiang found an excuse to 'kick him out'.
At this moment, they are thousands of miles away from the post house.
Murong Qiufeng can fly with a sword, this point of exit is not taken into account, and he is also anxious to find out about the matter.
I didn't take action because I was waiting, after all, it was the first time I came here, and I couldn't be too rude when I went to someone's place.
But after this incident, he knew what kind of dispute the matter was probably involved in, and these calculations annoyed him, so he simply left it to Yuxiang and them to deal with. He knew that they would definitely handle it better than him, and they had a specialization in the art industry, and he couldn't learn those tricks, even if he followed Shangguan Ye, but he didn't want to participate in these.
Maybe it's because Shangguan Ye is used to it, or maybe it's because of his cultivation and perception, most of what he does now is casual, rather than deliberately forbearance and trying to maneuver around like before.
Nian'er always said that his father was spoiled by his father, and every time he listened to it, he just laughed and didn't say anything, but in fact, who was really spoiled, it was clear at a glance, and he admitted that he was too well protected by Shangguan Ye.
No matter what it is, it's all arranged by him, and he doesn't feel bad about it, the feeling of being held in the palm of his hand makes him very addicted, not to mention, although that guy is domineering, but most of the time he is centered on his preferences.
"Daddy, there are no animals in this ice field, not even a bird, I heard that there are snow wolves, snow foxes, and ferrets in the snow mountains, it's good here, I haven't seen a single grass, it's really boring." Murong Nian was very curious at first, but after walking for a while, he began to lose interest, and the stick in his hand gestured and poked at the ground from time to time.
Yun Yan also nodded and said, "That's it, and there's no wind at all, it's so dry." β
Murong Qiufeng's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but look sideways at them, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he always felt that something was wrong before.
Now I was reminded by the two children that I remembered, indeed, this snow-capped mountain, not to mention the snow-capped mountain, even if it is hundreds of miles around, there seems to be no sign of life, except for snow and ice everywhere, the world is pure white, there is nothing.
And the surrounding atmosphere is very heavy, not because it is too quiet, but a kind of sinking that seems to have been independent from the world, isolated, that kind of incomprehensible, obviously standing on the snow mountain, but it seems that this snow mountain cannot be felt.
It's really weird.
When the two little ones saw him stop, they also stopped, and their eyes waited curiously and puzzled for his next move.
Murong Qiufeng looked down at the snow under his feet, lifted the hem of his clothes and squatted down on his knees, his palms against the snow.
Sure enough, I don't know if there is no breath of life on the surface, and there is no kilometer below the snow-capped mountains, is it because the ice was originally like this, or is it only like this after the disaster? It seems that a local guide will also need to be borrowed.
"Uncle Murong, let's go to the flat land to see if it's okay, I heard that there is a lot of water under the ice, it may be the sea, see if there are any living creatures." Yun Yan pointed to a flat place in the distance and suggested.
Murong Qiufeng nodded, sacrificed his sword, took the two children, and disappeared on the snowy mountain in an instant like a ray of light, and it had already fallen to the ice in an instant.
I didn't see it when I was on the mountain because of the distance, and I fell on the ice, only to find that the ice was not a flat river, at least there were a lot of ice caves on the ice that seemed to be dug out artificially, in terms of the thickness of the ice, it was roughly arm thick, and some gray water was exposed below, and I could only see a clear reflection, but I couldn't see what was inside.
And apparently the holes have not been used for a while, and a layer of ice has formed on the surface of the water, but it is not very thick.
Murong Qiufeng stretched out his hand to break the thin ice, but Murong Nian hurriedly grabbed his arm and handed the stick in his hand over, "Daddy, use this." β
Murong Qiufeng paused, then rubbed his head with a smile, took the stick, and gently poked a small hole in the ice.
The stick stirred in the water for a while, and then picked it up, the water dripping from the stick looked very clear, he sniffed it, but his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's the smell of sea water." "If it's not fresh water, then there should be living creatures, but there is no breath of life inside.
I am afraid that the creatures in the sea have fled because they feel some danger, and it seems that there is really no peace here.
When I returned to the inn, it was almost evening.
As soon as Youxiang saw him come back, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him untie his coat and cloak first, and ordered to bring the prepared hot water towel over, and take care of the big two and the small three without leaking.
Murong Qiufeng looked at the boxes of things piled up in the hall, obviously not theirs, so he asked, "What is this?" β
Yuka skimmed those things and said disdainfully, "It's an apology gift sent by the Queen of the Ice Plain." β
Only then did Murong Qiufeng remember that there was another matter today, so he said, "How did you talk?" Although he was excused by Yuka, he also expected that some people would come to the door.
Yuxiang shrugged, "It's still the same as always, since Lan Youyou wants to be the first bird, then let her do it, anyway, the master doesn't like to see those people, there is less chatter from idle people, Yara was dismissed, and Lan Youyou was placed in the palace to live, so that it is convenient to 'cultivate feelings' with the Queen of the Ice Plain" When she said this, there was obviously a bit of malicious cunning in her eyes.
Although it was simple to say in a few words, with Murong Qiufeng's understanding of Youxiang, it must not be so simple, she must be calculating something, but with them arranging for him to rest assured, he didn't ask much, just nodded, as for Lan Youyou, it's okay to isolate her, and then thinking of today's matter, he said, "Since that's the case, let her ask the queen for someone first, preferably someone who is familiar with the geography of the ice field." β
"Well, did the master find anything today? Tomorrow we have to continue, so let's follow. Yuka nodded.
Murong Qiufeng handed over the towel, took the tea that Murong Nian had brought over, and nodded, "I'm going to go to the disaster place tomorrow to investigate, and I don't need too many people, just follow Youhe Qingyuan." β
"Daddy, and me." Murong Nian hurriedly came over with ginger soup, afraid that one would be accidentally left behind.
Murong Qiufeng touched his head with a smile, and also looked at Yun Yan, whose eyes were shining and expressing the same meaning, and said, "You have another task tomorrow." β
When the two little guys came, they were already stalking, not regular, and when they heard that even they had tasks, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were indescribably surprised and excited.
ββββββββββToday is the last day of 2013, time flies so fast, it feels like yesterday I was talking with friends about waiting for the end of the world in 2012 to come, but in the blink of an eye it is going to be 2014.
Of course, the last day of the year also represents the arrival of the new year, as a response to the time, today plus a watch, seven o'clock, and another New Year's Eve change, at zero o'clock.
