Chapter 843: Thousand Zhangs Snow Peak
Zhou You's face changed suddenly, "Didn't you say that there are still a few years of kung fu, so it has already grown seven leaves?" ”
The flower of the ice leaf is divided into seven leaves, and when the seven leaves grow, the flower will bloom, and the flowering time is extremely short, but more than ten days long, and then it will wither together with the flowers and leaves.
Chen Hanqing said: "My father estimated that perhaps in recent days, the tidal climate has changed, which has changed the aura around us. Speaking of this, his face became solemn, "I heard that the glaciers on the Arctic Ice Sheet are already showing signs of melting on the periphery?" ”
Zhou You didn't hide it, he nodded, and said: "Since ten years ago, the glaciers on the Arctic Ice Sheet have begun to melt slowly, and no one has ever found out the reason, but at this rate, it will only take about 30,000 years to melt all the glaciers on the Arctic Icefield." Because of this matter, the thirteenth king of the Jian family in Dafeichuan was also very worried. ”
Chen Hanqing sighed: "The Dao Demon War has started, and there will be great changes in heaven and earth, this matter is beyond the power of man, so let's not think about it." Only then did he think of Gu Yan and asked, "What is the purpose of Fairy Gu here?" ”
Gu Yan said his intention, Chen Hanqing said with a smile: "This matter is easy, you can go with Brother Zhou, the flower of ice leaves grows on the top of the Qianzhang Snow Peak, where the eye of ice is located, where the cold air is the heaviest, with the fairy's ability to control fire, the two work together." Naturally, the demonic energy on it can be eliminated. ”
Gu Yan nodded slightly. "Thank you very much!"
They crossed the moat all the way. He walked towards the snow peak, and the fairy of the moon was no longer where to go.
Chen Hanqing greeted them all the way to the Qianzhang Snow Peak, and when they reached the Snow Peak, Gu Yan couldn't help but admire. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there are endless snow-capped fields and thick glaciers, which are dotted with growth. And in this piece of ice and snow shijie, the thousand-zhang snow peak, the wall is cut like a knife, straight into the sky, the sun is sprinkled, above the snow peak, the illusion of colorful brilliance, like a jade dragon hovering up, graceful, weather.
This snow-capped peak. Divided into a main peak, below the main peak. There are more than ten other large and small peaks, and the children of the Chen family all inhabit them. And the main peak, because the cold is too heavy, only those who have reached the Yuan infant stage and above are qualified to stay there.
Chen Hanqing, as the young master of the Chen family, has his own residence on the main peak, he welcomed Zhou You and Gu Yan into it, Gu Yan also thought about going to meet the head of the Chen family, Chen Hanqing said with a smile: "My father has been in retreat for many years and has never come out, and most of the other elders have something to do, so they are not here, and they don't need to visit." ”
Gu Yan nodded silently, the head of the Chen family has been in retreat for more than hundreds of years, but the realm of the impact of the Yuan Hou has always been one step behind, and it cannot be completed, she silently thought in her heart, this step wants to cross over, maybe it is the difference between heaven and man. Some people, for the rest of their lives, are stuck in such a step.
Chen Hanqing said at this time: "I will settle you down, and I will also start preparing to enter the Chaos Cave." The breakthrough of the opening of the Chaos Cave this time, according to the speculation of several elders, it should not be open for more than three months, I will enter the Chaos Cave in two days, you two, let's live here first. ”
Zhou You shook his head, "Since the Flower of Ice Leaf has opened, then withering is only a matter of a few days, I will go and get the Flower of Ice Leaf first." ”
Chen Hanqing said: "That is the case, how about not our peers? ”
Zhou You's face suddenly showed a bitter color, Chen Hanqing knew his intentions, and daxiao got up, "Don't worry, she is just a little dissatisfied with you because of the jokes of the master back then, and she doesn't have to find trouble with you, besides, you also know that under the Qianzhang Snow Peak, it has always been extremely dangerous, even if you and I are both primordial infants, but they may not be able to pass unimpeded, she came this time, with the treasure Jingyang Bell of the Luoyun Sect, with this treasure to protect herself, at least she can be a little more successful." ”
Zhou You is not a reserved person, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Then it's good to go together." Xiao Gu, what about you? ”
Gu Yan said: "What I did was not troublesome, I first went with you to pick the flower of the ice leaf, and then I went to the eye of ice to refine my crystal." ”
Zhou You nodded, "With the help of the Flower of Ice Leaves, you can also get twice the result with half the effort." Then let's set off with Hanqing in two days. ”
The two of them had already decided, Chen Hanqing hurried away, in these few days, he had to prepare to enter the Chaos Cave, and he also had to arrange all the matters of the Chen family, especially the battle with the Demon Gate, not when he left, there were forks, all kinds of matters, he was almost a little anxious, and there was really no way to greet them.
Fortunately, there are many ashrams here, and Gu Yan chose a meditation retreat at random. It's just that in her heart, there always seems to be a trace of dissonance, I don't know where it comes from, which makes her heart a little irritable, she can't make up her mind, so she simply comes out of the quiet room, goes outside under the moonlight, and walks casually.
At this time, she found that under the eaves, there was a shadow standing quietly, and he looked up at the sky at random, it was Zhou You.
Gu Yan saw that there was a bit of desolation in his gaze, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "What is Brother Zhou thinking?" ”
Zhou You withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm wondering, is my hometown really on the other side of the spine, and what kind of scene is there?" ”
He said to Gu Yan: "Xiao Gu, you are from Shenzhou, you may tell me, what is it like there?" ”
"Ah......" Gu Yan frowned slightly, and slowly recalled, "Actually, in my memory, these have also been blurred. When I left Shenzhou, I was just a minor monk who had just built a foundation, and now, I am already on the Yuanying Avenue. And in Shenzhou, for thousands of years, there are only a handful of people who can get married, and at the time I left, I went to the Shenzhou Continent several times, but there was not one. Compared to Cangwu. It was a real barren place for cultivating immortals. ”
Zhou You smiled: "It's strange to say. I've never been to that place. And according to you, it's also a barren place that people can't be nostalgic for, but I just miss it, as if I knew in the dark that one day, I would return to that place. ”
Gu Yan said leisurely: "Yes." The place where I grew up back then was called Tianmu Mountain, which was a very small place for cultivating immortals. Most of them were disciples in the Qi refining period, as long as they formed a golden pill, they could be dominant there, but looking back now, it was still the most stable and happy time I had ever lived in my life. ”
Although the days in the Gu family were short, only two years, Gu Yan really got a state of mind there, and at that time, she was just a little disciple who refined qi two or three times.
Zhou You was very interested and said, "Can you tell me about those things?" ”
After Gu Yan came to Cangwu. rarely talked about Shenzhou with anyone, and even knew that she was from Shenzhou. It's just a few, but today, under the moonlight, when she met Zhou You, she felt like she had met an old friend for many years, and she couldn't help but want to spit out these words hidden in her heart.
She told her what happened to her Gu family back then, the turmoil of traveling far away in Luodi, and the scenery of returning to Yue Country one by one, with a calm and gentle tone, and the stubborn and persistent little girl seemed to jump in front of her.
Zhou You listened for a long time before he couldn't help laughing: "Listening to what you say, it's really not like you." Now Cangwu knows that Fairy Gu of Bixia Sect is decisive in killing and never tolerating. ”
Gu Yan also smiled: "Who hasn't come from his youth, what is your youth?" ”
Zhou You shook his head, "My memory of my youth is extremely poor, I grew up in the ice and snow, and there is only that piece of snow white in my memory, just blindly ascetic, now that I think about it, I don't know what to say." ”
Suddenly, he stared at Gu Yan with a blazing gaze, a pair of sparkling eyes, as shining as the stars in the sky, "I believe that one day, I will cross the heavenly ridge and return to Shenzhou to see what my hometown is." ”
Gu Yan was also infected by his emotion, she took a step forward and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
The two of them glanced at each other, smiled, and raised their hands at the same time, "One day, through the heavenly spine, return to Shenzhou!" After speaking, he raised his hand and struck, and the crisp sound of high-five, in this silent night, spread far away, lasting for a long time.
After chatting with Zhou You Yuexia, Gu Yan seemed to feel that her mood had also improved a lot, speaking of which, she had been trapped in the early stage of Yuanying for a long time, and she couldn't break through, so her state of mind was also affected a lot, and even became anxious, now Gu Yan's cultivation has arrived, and what she needs is just an opportunity. But we don't know when this opportunity will come.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the early morning of this day, she heard Chen Hanqing's voice from a distance, and when she walked out of the door, she saw Chen Hanqing standing on the snow slope in the distance. And the Yuelong Fairy from the Luoyun Sect was standing at the other end of Chen Hanqing, far away from him.
Zhou You silently walked to Chen Hanqing's side and said, "Let's go!" ”
For the past two days, they have been living in Chen Hanqing's cave mansion. In the Chen family, only five monks in the infancy stage are qualified to have a cave on the main peak of Qianzhang Snow Peak, and the other children can only settle on those secondary peaks on the side, but the cave mansions of several of them are also at the foot of the Snow Peak, and they cannot reach the top. At this time, they all stood on a magic weapon released by Chen Hanqing, and with this magic weapon called Wuyang Zijin Taki, they avoided the cold air around them, and they slowly rose to the peak.
On this thousand zhang snow peak, every xiangshang zhang, the cold air almost doubled, and it reached five hundred zhang, although there was a magic weapon to protect herself, but Gu Yan had already felt that the cold air around her was thick, which made her almost a little uncomfortable, she casually glanced at the moon around her, she looked peaceful, and there was nothing unusual. Obviously, this disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect, who was born on the glacier in the extreme north, was much more hardy than himself.
This Yuelong fairy kept a small face all the way and didn't speak, at this time, seeing Gu Yan's gaze, she suddenly said: "I heard that you are in the Central Plains, and your name is very famous?" ”
Gu Yan didn't know what she meant by this, so she said vaguely: "It's just the big guys who carry love." ”
Yuelong ignored her words, and said: "It is said that you have overpowered the forest lintel and the blue bird." Say you're the first person in the cangwu nuns? ”
When she said this. The face is bulging. Quite resentful. Gu Yan suddenly realized, it seems that this Yuelong Fairy's competitive heart is really strong.
Originally, in the cangwu, there were only two female cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, who were the real people of Lin Zilin and Yunshang Valley. But over the years, including Gu Yan, Sheng Hualan, Su Manjian and others, they have all successfully married babies, making Cangwu's female yuan baby also a force that cannot be underestimated. It's just that this Moonfall Fairy is far away in the far north and is not well-known in the Central Plains, but obviously, she cares about this name very much.
Gu Yan naturally didn't have the same knowledge as a little girl, so he turned to say: "When it comes to cultivation, it is naturally the strongest Zilin real person, as early as when I just got married and left the South China Sea. She has already advanced to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant and has not seen her for a hundred years. Presumably, the cultivation is more refined. ”
Yuelong said: "Listen to what you said, in a deserted place like the South China Sea, such a powerful monk can appear, one day, I must go to the South China Sea!" ”
After saying this, she couldn't say anything anymore, and her whole person was like an ice sculpture as cold as ice. Gu Yan noticed that sure enough, along the way, she didn't say a word to Zhou You, but with Chen Hanqing and herself, she could also talk about sentences.
After rising to five hundred zhang, Chen Hanqing's speed became slower and slower, probably every other pillar of incense, to be able to xiangshang rise for more than ten zhang, until the sun has been submerged by the peak, he finally stopped, said: "This is already eight hundred zhang place, the flower of a thousand leaves mentioned by Brother Zhou grows here, you two, you can come down." ”
Gu Yan was surprised: "It turns out that the Chaos Cave is not here? ”
Zhou You said: "The Chaos Cave is on the top of the Thousand Feet Snow Peak, the most extremely cold place, so we don't need to go up." ”
Chen Hanqing nodded, and said to Yuelong: "Please take out the Jingyang Bell." ”
Yuelong glanced at the two of them quite self-consciously, then took out a small purple and gold bell from the bag, shook it lightly in her hand, and then a bronze bell rose from the top of her head, and the surrounding cold air was all swept away by her, like a huge furnace, protecting the two of them, and the speed of rise seemed to increase suddenly. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had turned into a small black dot on the top of their heads.
Zhou You watched her back go away, and said with a wry smile: "When she was young, her competitive spirit has always been very strong, in fact, what Han Qing said was just a joke back then, but she has been holding on to it, in fact, it is just this competitive heart." ”
Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, she didn't really want to mention this topic, and instead said: "When they enter the Chaos Cave, it's not something that can come out in a while, let's go and get the Ice Leaf Flower first." When you take the flower of the ice leaf, you can help me dissolve the demonic energy on the spar, and if you want to dissolve all the spars in my hand, it will not be a day's work. ”
Zhou You smiled: "You must obey orders." He took Gu Yan and walked forward. The snow under his feet, stepping on it, will make a creaking sound, Zhou You said: "The flower of ice leaves, growing in the Seven Xuan Caves, there is already a place where the cold air on the snow peak is extremely heavy, deep into the ground, there are seven different attributes of cold at the same time, it is very dangerous. ”
As he spoke, he walked through the winding path in front of him, turned a col, and said, "There it is!" ”
Gu Yan looked up, in front of her eyes, there was a white, like a wall, the light reflected by the ice and snow made her a little unable to open her eyes, on the stone wall, it seemed that someone had dug out a cave crookedly with extremely clumsy knife work, the shape was like a grimace, and in the cave, there was a flower, which grew out in a zigzag.
The flower is transparent, the seven petals are as clear as jade, as if carved from crystal, as thin as cicada wings, under the reflection of the sun, refracting a different kind of brilliance, very beautiful.
Gu Yan said: "Since the Flower of Ice Leaves is such a strange thing, why doesn't the Chen family take it for its own use?" ”
Zhou You said with a smile: "The Chen family's exercises are biased towards the cold and cold all the way, and using such a thing is equivalent to making things worse, only having a negative effect, so this flower of ice leaves, you can use it, and I can use it, but the Chen family itself can't use it." I don't know who got the seed back then, sprinkled here, so many years, it just grew such a flower, and very few people knew that this flower was here, so I picked it up. ”
Gu Yan nodded in understanding, obviously, looking at the Chen family's appearance of not attaching great importance to this Ice Leaf Flower. But in her heart, she knew that this Ice Leaf Flower was actually an ancient spirit seed!
The booklet in her hand from the owner of the Guiru recorded dozens of strange flowers and plants of ancient spirit species, among which there was a mention of this kind of ice leaf flower, which was very clear about its appearance and shape, but the effect was not clear, but it was only said that with the rhizome of the ice leaf flower, a spirit pill called "Ice Spirit Pill" could be refined, this kind of spirit pill had a unique effect on the cultivation of the original gods.
But the owner of the ruins only mentioned it occasionally in the booklet, and did not say it in great detail, and Gu Yan was not very clear, but she also knew that every kind of spirit grass contained in the booklet was a rare thing to find now, and as long as she encountered it, she must not let it go. Zhou You is looking for its leaves, so the rhizomes, Gu Yan also honestly and unceremoniously planned to put them in his pocket.
At this time, Zhou You's face suddenly changed, "Didn't you say that it had been open for three days, why did it look like it was about to wither?" ”
Gu Yan looked up, and sure enough, although the flower looked extremely beautiful, the seven petals already looked a little dim, as if they would wither at any time.
Gu Yan frowned and said, "No, when I saw it for the first time, this flower was not like this, could it be that there is something on our body that makes it feel taboo?" ”
Zhou You said: "Don't think about these things yet, once the flower of the ice leaf withers, then the petals will melt into the ice and snow and assimilate with the earth, let's pick it first!" ”
Before he finished speaking, the person had already rushed forward, his hands swiped at the same time, and a crystal clear jade bowl had appeared in his palm. Then it flew forward again, growing bigger and bigger, like a cauldron, and at once it covered the flower of the ice leaf.
As he moved, the ground shook and the snow began to roll down on the surrounding peaks.
Gu Yan also shot at the same time, she recited the magic trick, and the seven-treasure golden building behind her flew up, and the seven-colored light tower was raised, and it immediately flattened the surrounding earthquake that was attracted by the circumference, and she had already copied the Dayan Sword in her hand with one hand at this time.
In the jade bowl in Zhou You's hand, silver rays of light emitted one after another, and kept falling towards the flower of the ice leaf, which seemed to completely separate the flower from the surrounding ice and snow.
Zhou You's eyes showed a look of appreciation, "This is Qixuan Condensing Ice, the golden stone is difficult to break, your sword path is really powerful!" ”
Gu Yan was silent, although what she split out was only a sword, but the thousand-fold sword intent contained on it kept deceiving the ice wall without stopping, and she also clearly felt that in the depths of the ice wall, the long rhizome of the ice leaf flower extended inside, and the aura in her body urged, and she shouted: "Break!" ”
The endless sword intent burst out, the sword qi urged, and the sound of "poof" was endless, and the ice wall was suddenly shot out of countless holes by the sword qi, and it could no longer withstand the suppressive power of the Seven Treasure Golden Tower, and then collapsed with a bang.
Large chunks of ice and snow flew outward, rumbling and collapsing, and half of the ice wall collapsed.
The jade bowl in Zhou You's hand showed its effect at this time, and countless white lights firmly isolated this mountain wall from the outside. Otherwise, just this one movement would be enough to trigger a large avalanche on top of the snow peak.
After the ice wall collapsed, Gu Yan raised her sword and fell, the slightest sound was endless, and the connection between the rhizome of the Ice Leaf Flower and the ice and snow behind her was cut off by her sword, and then her left hand was raised, and a golden light hand had fallen straight down from the sky, and she grabbed the Ice Leaf Flower in her hand at once.
And at this time, Zhou You's movements were also very fast, his fingers were raised continuously, and the seven leaves on the Ice Leaf Flower had been broken off by him at the same time.
As the leaves were broken off, the flower of the ice leaf also withered immediately, and the seven petals on it fell almost at the same time, and Gu Yan's heart moved, and the seven petals had already been collected by her. (To be continued.) )
