Chapter Twenty-Four: The Crane of Fire

As everyone knows, when they were looking at this scene, there was also a pair of cold eyes looking at them below. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A white figure, standing on the surface of the lake, glanced up slightly, then bowed his head and sank to the bottom of the lake......

……

Shang Yun has been practicing in this Xueyun Xuan for several months, listening to lectures every day to cut bamboo and making slips, and unconsciously with Zhang Yi, in addition to the growth of knowledge, the body is also extremely strong, even in the snow, he does not feel cold.

After Zhang Xian finished teaching a copy of the Tao Te Ching, he was not in a hurry to teach this Danqing technique, but only moved the Five Classics out again and taught them one by one.

Shang Yun heard it quite strangely, he had heard this when he was in Yingchuan a few days ago.

Shang Yun was born in a scholarly family since he was a child, Yingchuan is a holy land of Confucianism, and there are often people who give lectures, so he naturally knows that there are some discrepancies between the master and the Danqing technique, and what the master told a few days ago is Taoism, but now it has been replaced by Confucianism, but he has not taught the art of Danqing, I don't know what the truth is.

But since the master taught like this, Shang Yun was embarrassed to ask, he just wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so that he could start this Danqing course quickly.

Zhang Xian knew that he was smart, and all the truths could be explained, but he couldn't hide it, so he only explained, "The ancestor of Taoism, when Lao Tzu was young, was also all over the world, astronomy, geography, and human ethics, and learned everything, "poetry", "book", "Yi", "calendar", "rite", "music" is all-encompassing, cultural relics, canons, and historical books are all learned, so that later he wrote this "Tao Te Ching", which is really based on so much knowledge, I am now teaching you the Five Classics, which have many truths, which are common to everything, and I have said it before the teacher, Therefore, teaching you these courses is also to lay the foundation for practicing the art of Danqing in the future, so as not to be affected by the power of counterattack when you are in the future, and to the situation of no return. ”

Shang Yun got such an explanation from the master, although he was not very acceptable, but it was not easy to refute, he was originally a person who respected the teacher, since the master said so, he had to accept Zhang Xian's teachings patiently.

It is also strange to say that this Zhang Xianqi, although he is from a poor family, is extremely knowledgeable, and he is all-encompassing in astronomy and geography, so he can teach Shang Yun many truths.

For Zhang Xian, meeting Shangyun is also a great joy in life, naturally happy, only feel that what he has learned in his life, and no one can understand, when he was young, he had ambitions, but there is no place for it, but at this moment he will teach him what he has learned in his life, and he can be regarded as getting what he wants, and he has lived up to his life for so many years of traveling the world, seeking knowledge and asking.

It's a pity that this Zhang Yi suffered, she was a smart person, but she was far inferior to Shang Yun, assuming more time, she would definitely be able to read and understand these truths, but Shang Yun read and comprehended very quickly, and Zhang Xian's teaching was also based on Shang Yun's progress, so Zhang Yi became more and more difficult to follow.

……

After another month, Zhang Yi only felt that learning was quite boring and bored, so he took advantage of the moonlight to call Shang Yun out to relax.

Shang Yun also felt that studying these things recently was different from what he thought in his heart, and he happened to feel the same way.

The two hit it off and snuck out of the stone house.

When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, Zhang Yi just remembered what Su Mo said a few days ago, and he had a whim, thinking about going down to the lake to take a look.

"Huh? When we go down from here, it will take at least two hours to find this icy lake, so how can we go back before dawn? Although Shang Yun was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought that he would have to study his homework the next day and go up the mountain to cut bamboo and make bamboo slips.

"It doesn't matter, we'll use weeping tapeworms to go down from here, which can save half the distance, and when we return to the mountain, Sister Su Mo will come to look for us."

Shang Yun couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that this little junior sister had no plan at all, it was really nonsense.

But he couldn't resist her temperament, so he had to follow her down with the weeping tapeworm, and fell from the top of the cliff to the dense forest below.

……

When Zhang Yi came down the mountain, he ran like a bird out of the cage, and he ran like a happy man when he was free.

Shang Yun looked at her appearance and thought to himself, this time really suffocated her, seeing that she was running faster and faster, he had to hurry up to keep up, for fear that he would lose her if he was not careful.

Zhang Yi hummed a song on his lips and ran quickly in the forest, teasing the spirits in the air for a while, and touching the strange trees in the mountains for a while, so unhappy.

……

Zhang Yi ran for a while and felt a little tired, so he bent down and supported his knees with his hands, panting.

After a while, I saw her raise her head, close her eyes, breathe a sigh of relief, and let out a long sigh, "Whewβ€”it's really suffocating the old lady!" ”

"Poof-cough, cough-cough...... Shang Yun almost choked on his own saliva after hearing this, and coughed quickly......

Zhang Yi looked back at him, let out a disdainful snort, and ignored him, stood up straight, and gestured with his hands in the air.

I saw that the surrounding trees were growing tall into the clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and only a small square palm-sized sky was left overhead, pouring down the moonlight.

The moon shadow is mottled, the tree shadow is mottled, and the human figure is mottled......

……

Zhang Yi thought for a while, then said, "The lake should be in this direction, and come with me." ”

As soon as he walked a few steps, he was pulled back by Shang Yun's back shirt.

"It's the other way around!"

Shang Yun said expressionlessly, "Look at the position of the moon, the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, we should go this way." ”

He was secretly happy in his heart, although the master did not teach this Danqing technique, but this astronomy and geography had taught a lot, and it came in handy at this moment.

Zhang Yi was dragged by him and returned to his senses, "Yes, I was just about to say that the direction was wrong just now, these days of practicing astronomy, my sister knows more than my senior brother." ”

With that, he walked forward.

Shang Yun saw her so shameless, smiled bitterly, and strode to follow.

……

After walking for a while, the two of them could hear the murmuring of the water in the forest, and the sound of insects chirping from nowhere came and went, but the sound of the flowing water was quite loud.

Shang Yun was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that the ice lake was not far from here.

It's just quite strange that since the lake is frozen in summer, why does it come from the sound of flowing water.

……

After a while, the woods opened up in front of me, and only faintly visible not far away, dotted with stars, a fluorescent flicker, I thought it was the ice lake.

When they got closer, the two couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that from the top of the cliff before, the lake was not big, but after being immersed, I found that the lake was extremely wide, and from a distance, it was like the sea.

But he saw that the lake was frozen, and it was pitch black, and it shone with a cold glow where the moonlight shone.

To the west of this glacial lake, there is a wide waterfall, on which the water splashes, rising puffs of smoke, to the place where it meets the surface of the lake, but suddenly condenses into ice, where the ice interface is like a steep cliff, on the left is water, on the right is ice, and further up, a burst of smoke rises and melts into the air.

This waterfall must be the sound of gurgling water I heard just now.

It's just that this scene is quite wonderful, the waterfall can rush down, presumably with extremely high temperature, but I don't know what treasure is in this lake, but the water that washes down can be condensed into ice in an instant.

On the surface of the ice, a mist rose up, and from time to time, the fluorescence of the danqing in the air fell on the surface of the lake.

When I looked again, I found that the starry danqing streams I had seen before were a group of bright flamingos, lying on the ice in flocks at night, burying their long necks in their wings, and faintly dancing with fire on their bodies.
