790, the mountains are surrounded by clouds, and the shadow falls on the blue lake
It turned out that this group of demon cultivators heard the news in the Kunlun Wonderland, and came in batches by Zhongmiao Flying Boat, they had known each other for a long time in the Kunlun Wonderland, and gathered a group of forces here, with about a hundred people. Several of their companions were killed as they passed through the ice tower, and they also used their magic to flatten dozens of ice towers, breaking the ice to fill the cracks, and they walked to the opposite side in this brute way.
In the past few days, nothing has happened in the basin opposite, and the weather at night is very bad, so it is not easy for so many of them to settle down, so they turned back and blocked the passage on this side, and collected "tolls" from those who came after. They didn't have this kind of appearance, they learned the inspiration from Qiao Caifeng when they took the Zhongmiao Flying Boat, even if they didn't have the opportunity to get the artifact, they could take the opportunity to make a profit.
All they can stop are lowly cultivated beast demons or loose cultivators, in fact, the benefits of extortion are limited, but how many are counted, mosquitoes are small and meat, and they can't come in vain. And they also plan to go to the world to wander around, knowing that money is useful, so they also accept RMB. As for the birds or masters with the ability to fly, of course, it has long passed, and there are also some powerful Dacheng monks or monsters, who can easily pass the level by revealing their magical powers, and this group of monsters is just a large number of people.
Nian Qiuye and the others heard the quarrel here from a long distance, and when they got closer, a monk recognized them from a distance, and hurriedly ran over to Ye Ming, the head of the five flavors, and other masters smiled and saluted: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Shuang, a disciple of the Changbai Sect, is polite!" …… There's a gang of monsters over there blocking the way to Jasper Lake, so you're here! Can you take me there? ”
Wuwei Chang frowned and said, "Take you over?" It's not your business alone, it's only right to disperse this group of monsters! There are also a lot of disciples of various factions who have arrived at the Snow Mountain Jade Lake, how can they allow a group of demon cultivators to mess around here? ”
Liu Shuang explained with a bitter face: "You don't know anything, almost everything you should have arrived has arrived." The place over there is very large, and the terrain is complicated for a hundred miles, and many people are looking for a hiding place and waiting for the artifact to appear, and they don't know what is happening here. I'm already in the past, and I'm running again to escape the storm every night. There are still many late arrivals here, and they have taken the opportunity to block them. ”
Ye Ming also frowned and said, "I can't even pass this passage, why do you come here to join in the fun?" …… But this group of monsters is really not like words, since the old man has met it, let's disperse it. If you don't listen to persuasion, you're welcome! ”
When Ye Ming was speaking, his disciple Nian Qiuye had already raised his eyebrows, and he drew his sword and wanted to step forward through the crowd. At this moment, a very cold voice came from the passage: "Are you the demon cultivators brought by Ao An Mountain in Kunlun Immortal Realm?" How can you gather here to make a living! All the masters have entered the valley. I didn't expect you to run back to block the road and blackmail. Disperse quickly and don't be chaotic, otherwise Dayouzong will never be polite! ”
A demon cultivator shouted, "Who are you?" Why are we in trouble? …… We've killed a few people on the Ice Tallinn side, and we've made a lot of effort to open the way, so why can't we reap some benefits? ”
The man replied: "I am Yan Wuhuan, the head of Dayouzong, and when Mr. Liu saw that there was no movement in this passage all day, he ordered me to come over to see if something was wrong, and sure enough, you were waiting here to make trouble!" Did you drive this road? It's clearly a relic of the immortal family thousands of years ago, so you're embarrassed to block the road and charge just a few of you? If you talk about the ice tower, thousands of fellow Daoists have passed by in the past few days, just rely on the few of you to fill in the ice? ”
That group of demon cultivators obviously didn't know the details of Yan Wuhuan very well. Gen didn't take him seriously, and when he saw Yan Wuhuan say this, he showed his magic weapon one after another, and someone had already made the first move and wanted to give Yan Wuhuan some color to see. Immediately afterwards, several screams were heard one after another, and then Yan Wuhuan shouted: "Don't get out yet!" I have mercy. Do you have to kill yourselves? ”
The crowd of onlookers blocking the entrance of the passage shouted cheers and heckles, and someone took the opportunity to shout: "Everyone go up together." Pack them up! ”
At this time, Ye Ming and the others had already separated from the crowd and walked to the entrance of the passage, and saw Yan Wuhuan in a black suit. There were seven or eight demon beasts lying around Yan Wuhuan in a circle, and the wounds on their bodies were bleeding, this injury was not light or serious, anyway, they couldn't move, and they also recovered the original body of the demon beast. Seeing that the demons outside the valley mouth were coaxing to do it together, and a group of powerful monks arrived, the group of demon cultivators hurriedly picked up their injured companions and fled quickly from the passage, and the onlookers let out a burst of cheers and scolding.
Yan Wuhuan didn't pay any attention to the rest of the people, stepped forward and saluted: "Ye Ming's head, the five flavor seniors, the Taoist friends of the various sects of Kunlun cultivation, there is a great sect Yan Wuhuan is polite!" ”
Ye Ming asked while returning the salute, "You are Yan Wuhuan of the Great Youzong?" I've heard your name, why do you know me, etc.? ”
Yan Wuhuan replied: "Although I haven't seen all the seniors, I have already heard of your descriptions, and I already knew that you would come together, of course you can recognize it, it's really better to meet than to be famous!" Today, I have the fate to meet in the Snow Mountain Jasper Lake, which is really a blessing for Yan! …… The masters of all factions and friends from all walks of life have gathered at the Snow Mountain Jade Lake in the past few days, and all the seniors and Taoist friends please come with me. As he spoke, Yan Wuhuan greeted Nian Qiuye and the others one by one.
Yan Wuhuan walked through the passage alone to see the situation, and found that a group of demon cultivators were blocking the way and making trouble, so he stepped forward to stop it, and shot cleanly to deter the demons. He alone may not be the opponent of that group of demon cultivators, but he is safe, and don't forget that there are still so many people blocked outside, once someone picks the lead and takes the upper hand, if the blocked people rush up, that group of demon cultivators will definitely not be able to stand it. Yan Wuhuan saw this, and at the same time, he also knew that Ye Ming and the others were coming.
Nian Qiuye had already heard of Yan Wuhuan's name, but she didn't have a good impression of Liu Dayou and Dayouzong, although she didn't know that Liu Dayou was Liu Yanghe back then, but she was still a little disgusted, but she couldn't say why. This is not the intuition of demon cultivation, maybe it is the intuition of women, or the root is the careful thinking of the daughter's family.
The appearance of Dayouzong, the initiative put forward by Liu Dayou who went to Wanbian Sect and Wuling Township successively, and his proposal to be vetoed by Cheng Tianle, these news have also been heard by all factions of Kunlun cultivation. In Nian Qiuye's view, Liu Dayou is obviously following Cheng Tianle's example, making a nondescript Dayouzong, gathering crowds to become a force in the future, and sooner or later he will have a-for-tat confrontation with the Wanchang Sect. So of course she won't like Liu Dayou, and it's not very pleasing to the eye even when she looks at Yan Wuhuan.
In this women's army, there is more or less this kind of thought, but there is not only one autumn leaf in the year. So when Yan Wuhuan saluted, many people just replied lightly, and didn't say anything more and didn't say much. However, Ye Ming and Wuwei maintained the humility of the elders, and walked through this passage all the way under the guidance of Yan Wuhuan.
The ice tower at the end of the passage has disappeared, and the glaciers on both sides are still hanging diagonally, forming flattened and compacted ice chips in the lower places, and the ice that is easy to break has long been blown down, and the fissures and undercurrents have also been filled, and it is now safe to walk through. Out of the valley is a tongue of ice that extends down the slope, and the ice and snow eventually disappear on the flowstone beach.
As far as the eye can see, the scenery here is so beautiful! Surrounded by snow-capped mountains under the blue sky, due to the refraction of sunlight from different angles, the ice peaks show different hues such as dark blue and light blue, below the snow line are bare gray rocks, various strange-shaped cliffs, and then down is the gently sloped flowstone beach, gradually there are flowers and plants growing, flowers and plants gradually change from sparse to patches of meadows, and the depths of the meadows can grow to waist-high heights.
Further down into the middle of the basin appeared sparse trees, which gradually grew into a vast primeval jungle, with undulating topography and rivers formed by the melting snow of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, which eventually flowed into a jasper-like lake in the center of the basin.
The area of this large lake is more than 30 miles in circumference, which is larger than the small basin that I just passed by, and the blue sky and white clouds and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are reflected from the side. But it is not easy to see from the sky, not only because of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, but also the clouds that shroud it directly above it are like a canopy, floating in the air about the size of a lake, as if it has been condensed all year round, which is a unique vision of this place.
Seeing this mountain, this basin, this blue lake, this strange cloud, and the incredible passage of the way, people have a feeling that if the artifact is present here, it seems that there is really a providence in the dark.
Bordered by the cliffs of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, the basin covers an area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers with a radius of 100 miles. There are primeval jungles, intertwined streams, open meadows, rugged and steep slopes covered with strange rocks, such a complex and vast place, let alone 3,000 people, even if 30,000 people are scattered, it is not easy to find a person deliberately, let alone find a thing?
However, the appearance of such artifacts as the Shocking Gate is very likely to be accompanied by some kind of vision, and there will be clues to be detected at that time, so everyone who comes here is looking for camps and waiting. Yan Wuhuan led Ye Ming and the others into the basin and left, as if there were still many things to be busy with, and Dayouzong was maintaining order and tranquility here.
Ye Ming and the others set up camp in the open area at the junction of the meadow and the jungle, not far from a stream, unloaded the lower layer and set up a few tents, and the distribution of the tents was faintly spread into some kind of formation, which was what they had prepared for a long time to deal with various emergencies in the mountains. This tent is not an ordinary tourist tent, nor is it a professional marching tent, the material has been specially selected, and the processing has also been treated with magical powers, which can not only resist strong winds but also withstand severe cold.
