Chapter 73 Wind and Frost is Morning 2
While anxious and afraid. When the two of them didn't feel at ease, they didn't feel isolated when they spoke through the ice wall, but when they returned to the scene of "alone", Wang Chuli was not afraid, but looking at the overwhelming snow, cold and bone-white, she was full of excitement, recalling the unauthorized pursuit of Lu Shihagi, and then ran back alone to find Lin Jingzhen, they were all dead, and now he is left alone, is it her turn - all because of this damn "acting alone", as if it was a curse. Her voice stopped abruptly, and she hung her hand weakly, standing in front of the ice wall, and her heart panicked.
There is no wind and no cranes. There is no life, only cold. She was in a dilemma, no matter which direction she went to the east, west, north and south, it was cold, and—
The place she was in was so embattled that there were walls of ice on all sides, and there was no way to get in, and she couldn't get out.
Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the earth, like a great worm, turning over the dirt and ice, crawling in all sorts of ways, turning over the snow, and making a small hill bulging out of the flatland, and soon, soon, it was about to open its mouth dripping with viscous venom, and it came towards her ankles, and her waist, and her neck, and it took only one bite—
Wang Chuli aimed his bow at it. The distance is very short. As long as it is alive, no matter how strong her armor is, it can't withstand her arrows, except for this nasty ice wall, of course. So, hopefully, it's not some ice sculpture that has been brought to life.
- It's coming!
Snow particles are scattered and splashed, such as dust, sand and fog, blurring the line of sight, hiding the killing machine, time is not waiting, there is no room for hesitation - put!
With a "boom", the arrow came out in response, and with a click, it pierced through the snow mist and firmly nailed the moving unknown creature!
The squirting stopped instantly. Wang Chuli controlled her breathing, calmed herself, and stared at this place with her eyes fixed.
She heard Zhao Ji's helpless and funny voice: "I'm scared to death, my God, Sister Chuli, what do you think?"
"Zhao Ji?" she was in a trance, hurriedly rubbed her eyes, and saw a hole in the ground not far away, and her arrow was piercing a door that had opened on the ground, and most of the whole door was shattered by her, and Zhao Ji's voice came from below. She hurried to the door, peeked down, and said, "Are you still alive?" I thought it was some kind of monster, so ...... I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought you ......"
She saw Zhao Ji barely stretch out a hand, poked his head out, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not stupid! Fortunately, this door is open up, if it is opened down, it will be my head that is pierced." Hatsuri, you're a dead end here, you can't get out, right? Come, come out, two people are better than one, right? I wanted to surprise you, who knew you wanted my life. This place is a tunnel in the house, Miss Lin stayed here before, and there was originally a body of Bian Yi inside, but he had asked Su to find a place to bury him...... The appearance of the border post was no longer visible at that time. If you don't mind, it's barely warm inside, so you can stop for a while. ”
Wang Chuli stared at him for a while, nodded, walked down the stairs in the door, and said, "Thank you...... Let's go. Let's go now. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Ji smiled, "It's so cold outside, don't you stay inside for a while?"
"The top of the mountain is the coldest place in the whole mountain. Wang Chuli said while barely walking in this temporary passage, "Lin Jingzhen's house was built on the top of this mountain, and it was cold to the bones all year round, in order to preserve his medicine, he didn't think about how to live in it. When people get cold, they will be treated with medicine......
Zhao Ji said: "You know a lot!"
"Yes," Wang Chuli smiled bitterly and laughed at herself, "Why do I know so much?"
Zhao Ji said: "Huh?"
The place was almost completely crushed by the snow and ice, and it was so cramped that only one person could bow down and pass through it at a time. As she passed by the place where she had been lying, there was a large pool of sticky blood. She paused, didn't look back, and continued walking, saying, "Let's go, I don't want to stay here." ”
Zhao Ji smiled: "Obviously, I took you down the mountain, but I said as if you were going to lead me out." ”
Wang Chuli said: "I see that your attitude is that you don't want to go out, so I'm going to push you! Besides, do you know how to go out?"
Zhao Ji paused and said tentatively: "If I say I don't know, will you want to kill me?"
"No, it won't. Wang Chuli's tone was much soothed, "Didn't you say, 'Two people are better than one'?"
"So you won't be angry?" Seeing that Wang Chuli nodded impatiently, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I know how to go." ”
Wang Chuli was a little disbelieving and asked, "How to go?"
Zhao Ji walked in front of her and said, "Since the location you were in just now is a dead end, then don't go to the same place, you can naturally walk to the exit position." Huh?" a shadow cut from front of him to behind him, and he was stunned, and when he looked up, his face pale.
Wang Chuli asked in the back, "What's wrong?"
He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Go back, hide!"
"Huh?" Wang Chuli's mind turned quickly, instead of listening to him, he took three steps and two steps and rushed up, aiming at the comer is an arrow, only to hear a sound as hard as a rock impact, a huge strange monster took a few steps back, left Zhao Ji's position, and rushed towards Wang Chuli. Wang Chuli immediately fell to the ground and rolled, the monster ran past her, stepped on the place where they were hiding just now, the snow collapsed all at once, its body also fell down, and there was another roar, the sound was like the collision of stones, cold and hard.
She reacted quickly, but she was stunned when she saw the reluctant monster. Its whole body is snow-white, its head is square and its eyes are bright, a horn grows in the center of its face, its body has wings, its body is shaped like a leopard, its five tails sweep up the wind and snow, and its hair has an illusory grain, but its power is extremely real, which is the source of the previous murderous aura.
Before she had time to take another look, Zhao Ji grabbed her and said, "Run!"
"Good. Wang Chuli said in a low voice, "Where are you going?"
"Run along this wall, don't let it corner. Zhao Ji said.
Wang Chuli hurriedly glanced back at the monster in front of him, and when he saw that it was about to turn around again, he hurriedly followed Zhao Ji and jumped forward lifelessly.
"It's a good thing you didn't listen to me," Zhao Ji said in a cold sweat as he ran, "I didn't expect it to pounce on this place." I didn't mean to, I-"
"I know, aren't you talking nonsense? It's not safe underground, are you hiding in it waiting to be crushed to death?" Wang Chuli said, "Also, what was that just now?"
Zhao Ji said: "You and you ask me what it is, I have to think about it...... It has horns on its head, five tails, and wings...... Is it ......?"
Wang Chuli said: "What is it?"
"I have seen it in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", five tails and one corner, five tails and one corner......" Zhao Ji recalled and began to recite, "...... Its shape is like a red leopard, five tails and a corner, its sound is like hitting the stone of the ancient wild beast, out of Zhongshan, the snort of the yin candle, the sun shape in the shape, the tail feathers, the waist wings, the first four horns, the glass eyes, the red skin, the black network. Eh quietly crouched in the mountains, the first hit stone, the sound of 'hideous', hence the name 'hideous'. It was supposed to be red, but it was made of snow all over its body, so I suspect that it was an 'illusion' formed through the medium of snow, just like the monsters I encountered in the palace, the gluttony, all fake. ”
"But whether it's true or fake, it can also hurt us, can't it?" Wang Chuli was so anxious that he was irritable, and his voice was a little angry, "What's the matter if it's real or fake, you tell me how to solve it! How did you deal with it in the first place?"
Zhao Ji smiled embarrassedly: "Although I bumped into the illusion at the time, I brought the imperial equipment to deal with it, and then I simply slipped away and left first." But I'm ......" Seeing that Wang Chuli looked like he was going to hit him, he hurriedly raised his hand in front of him and said, "But I know the 'trick'! That is, to find the 'center' of its hallucination, the hallucination is to be generated, and it is supported by the 'ontology', and if it is destroyed in time, then the illusion will naturally disappear——"
"What is the body, and where is it?" Wang Chuli wondered—suddenly the wind and snow roared, and unknown fears engulfed her, and an ominous premonition surged upwards; she suddenly remembered that they hadn't made a few rounds, and had talked too much, maybe the beast would have been able to find it as soon as she heard the sound; sure enough, there was a chill behind her, and the roar like broken rock appeared again, her face turned pale, and she ran away, Zhao Ji hurriedly rushed up and grabbed her, and shouted: "Don't go over there!
"It's important to run for your life, it doesn't matter where he is!" Wang Chuli, who knows martial arts, is stronger than Zhao Ji, who is powerless, she pulls Zhao Ji directly in her direction, Zhao Ji was dragged by her before he finished his sentence, he didn't come up in one breath, he coughed dizzy, nauseated, retching, the more he desperately wanted to breathe, the more he couldn't breathe, and his face turned blue.
Wang Chuli dragged Zhao Ji back, step by step, only retreating less than five steps, the cold wall made her understand that what Zhao Ji said just now was right - she really couldn't run in her direction, running aimlessly, no matter how you look for it, it's a dead end!
The beast came face to face with her. The beast opened its snow-white mouth, its transparent sharp skate teeth shining, waiting to cut off the first piece of meat, it was breathing, Wang Chuli could hear its breathing, like a rolling wind—the wind was surging, it was a precursor to the catastrophe of the great waves, and the roar of the rock crashing hit her heavenly spirit cover, and her whole body was dazed, like a desperate prey.
She raised her hand, aimed her bow at its abyssal mouth, gritted her teeth, and said, "Die, you monster......"
At this time, Zhao Ji could barely catch his breath. He straightened up and panted, "Wait a minute, Hatsuri, you also used a bow in front of the ice wall just now, and as a result, the bow was ejected back, I'm worried about ......"
"What are you worried about?" Wang Chuli said coldly, "Since it is also trapped in the labyrinth and is a creature under this 'rule', then it will never be harder than an ice wall." ”
Before Wang Chuli was about to launch the arrow, Zhao Ji shouted: "I mean, if your arrow 'penetrates' it and shoots directly into the ice wall, it will not be easy!"
Wang Chuli frowned, then suddenly, and whispered: "You mean that it can 'not exist'? How is this possible?"
"Maybe it's because it's both real and false as it's an illusion. Zhao Ji lowered his voice, "Let me deal with it, let me try, okay?"
"Try it, I don't think you even tried it. Wang Chuli raised her sharp eyebrows and sneered, even a sneer made her look beautiful, it was a coquettish beauty painting that could last forever, "Gambling with your life to avoid it, aren't you afraid that you will die?"
Zhao Ji put his hand to his mouth and chuckled, "I can't die-"
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the beast pounced, Wang Chuli knocked his hand off, pressed him to the ground, and said, "Run, I met my brother and told him, I am a very powerful person!"
"Oh my God, what are you doing!" Zhao Ji said in despair: "If you want your brother to know that you are sacrificed at such a time, he will definitely kill me!"
Wang Chuli said: "Isn't this the most dangerous time? Do you know that you are going to die?"
Zhao Ji's voice was full of tears: "You calm down, Chu Li ......"
Before Zhao Ji's words fell, Wang Chuli's arrow had already been shot out, and it shot into the open mouth of the beast!
Bang.
It's the wind. It was the sound of arrows carrying the wind, unstoppable and breaking through the air.
It flew straight towards the ice wall not far away.
Wang Chuli was stunned. In the midst of this hesitation, she saw the beast's figure gradually becoming transparent, and she didn't even notice the echo of "boom".
Zhao Ji pounced on her and pushed her aside, and said, "Be careful...... Your arrows!"
When it was too late, it was too fast, and the sound of the knife that was more rapid than the sound of the arrow came at a gallop, a note of great dissonance, like a little moonlight in the darkness, a drop of ink in the white night.
The knife quickly swirled, and the first blow was a "ding" sound, with the aim of slapping away the speeding arrow, and the follow-up action was to hook away the broken arrow and turn it back to the inner door, and slash it with one hook and the other hand. Then the second knife followed, and the first sword took over, cutting the arrow into several sections of equal length, and fell into the snow in the white night.
The visitor had long, clear, narrow eyes that glittered under his thick straight eyebrows, as sharp as his knife. He fell down in the snow and turned his head, his nose high to shape his perfect side.
"Your arrows are about to break, Sister Hatsuri, go back and ask your brother to change a few good ones for you. He smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness King Duan, are you okay?"
Wang Chuli said in surprise: "Ye Langxing!" She pursed her mouth slightly, her voice was aggrieved, and her voice was weak, "You can be regarded as here! Thanks to you, otherwise we would have died here." Zhao Ji kept stopping me, and he didn't do anything. ”
Ye Langxing smiled reluctantly: "The main reason is this arrow...... There was no danger in the first place, but I had already found the 'body' and removed it. ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly retorted: "Do nothing! I was about to disperse it, and you slapped my hand off, so how can I continue to ......?"
"What are you going to do?" Wang Chuli sneered, "chanting scriptures to drive away evil spirits?"
Zhao Ji said: "I...... I whistle. ”
He heard Wang Chuli's sneer.
Ye Langxing hurriedly came to relieve the siege and said, "It's great that His Royal Highness King Duan and Chu Li are fine, and I'm looking for you too." ”
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Thank you too, Ye Zhutou." What's going on out there? Why is it suddenly such a cold and snowy place, is there some enemy coming?"
Ye Langxing said: "Enemy, except for us, there is not even a single figure on the entire mountain. When the wind and snow first came, Su Guard and I tried to find out who was in the way, and Su Guard had experienced this not long ago, and his emotions were inevitably more intense. However, after turning around, not only did we find no one, but just as we were about to come back to look for you, a labyrinth suddenly arose in the flat ground, trapping us on both sides...... That's probably the case with you, right? Then I won't talk about it. ”
"No one?how could it be?" Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "My position is too deep to see anywhere else." Do you know how big this White Night Fantasy is?"
Ye Langxing wrinkled his nose, his index finger curled up and rubbed the tip of his nose, his eyes looked down, his voice sank, and said: "I am indeed at the 'border' of the mountain, at a glance, the snow is overwhelming, the sky is also completely white, and if you look into the distance, you can't see the 'black' at all." He paced back and forth slowly, "It's bigger than I thought." ”
Zhao Ji listened carefully to his words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and said, "What if it is being 'spreading'?"
Ye Langxing's eyes flashed, and he said, "I understand what you mean." Are you saying that it is the 'center' of our place, gradually covering the whole Bianliang?"
Zhao Ji nodded again and again: "Yes." Although the scene of the 'White Night' seen now is very abrupt, but in the daytime, when people wake up, the hallucinations of the White Night have become no different from the day, and no one has noticed that Bianjing has been covered by hallucinations. ”
Ye Langxing slapped his palms and said, "That's true. So......" he looked up at the sky and sighed, "it's over, I'm going to go back and investigate some thefts, and when the strange weather comes out, there are a lot of things." ”
Zhao Ji was full of questions: "Is now the time to think about these things, Ye Da catches his head?"
Ye Langxing raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I should think about the current thing first." Things are going to be tricky now. ”
Wang Chuli asked, "Ye Langxing, are there many of these 'monsters'?"
"There are a lot of them, and you can meet one at every turn, and it's very difficult to deal with until you find its 'body'. Ye Langxing smiled and revealed two pools of pear vortexes, and said, "You two young people are really auspicious, and you have only met one after walking for so long. ”
Zhao Ji said: "Can Ye Da Catch Heads solve them smoothly now?"
Ye Langxing nodded. ”
"Then I'm relieved. Still, I can do it. Zhao Ji smiled, "Then, let's go down the mountain, Ye Da catches the head." ”
"Is it so resolute?" Ye Langxing said with a smile, "The further down you go, the more 'monsters' there are, and the more dangers there are." Won't you stay a little longer?"
"Sooner or later, there will be no salvation on it. Zhao Ji smiled, "This is what Sister Chuli taught." ”
Wang Chuli smiled and looked up at the sky. Countless small clusters of blue and white light that had never been seen before swam in the sky like floating spirits.
