Chapter Fifty-Four: The Divine Tree Seeks Blade One
After the six rows of guards finished their performances, they appeared and stood together, and after sliding in a square formation in the middle of the field for a while, the Jimo patriarch was accompanied by Wu Zhu, stood in front of the phalanx, and led them to worship the gods of heaven, earth, and trees.
After this last event, the celebration of the Ice Washing Festival is also coming to an end, and tomorrow it will be transferred to the ice frolic arena for ice frolic competition.
It's just that Ah Huan hasn't come back yet, and Linglu and Niu Chen are standing beside the Ice Muscle Divine Tree anxiously waiting.
Linglu saw Qingya hurriedly walking towards them, and hurriedly greeted them: "Sister Qingya, are your two brothers coming out?"
Qingya came over to ask Ah Huan, but when she heard Linglu ask her, she turned back and pointed to the main platform: "This tree god really has a spirit, and the sacrifice has just ended, and my brother and they will come back." Oh, Sister Ling'er, please see, they are over there, reporting the results to my father! ”
Shun Qingya pointed at it, and sure enough, in front of the Jimo patriarch, Jimo Qingyou was happily talking to his father.
When it was Jimo Qinglan, he hugged his shoulders and looked at his father and brother with a smile, looking unfazed.
"It seems that your two elder brothers have gained something?" Linglu asked Qingya.
"I guess so. What about Brother Yu Huan? Hasn't he come back yet? It turned out that Qingya saw that her brothers had already come back and came to look for Ah Huan.
"Ah Huan, he ......" Linglu shook her head, frowned and asked Qingya: "Sister Qingya, will you not be able to get out of this sacred tree?" How dangerous is it? ”
"Sister Ling'er, I don't know about this, but I've never heard of an accident that happened to an Ice Splitter in the Divine Tree! The worst is that he doesn't want to be high-quality, and he is driven out by the tree spirit and is just taught a lesson. Qingya said as she walked to Niu Chen's side with Linglu, and seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate for her to say this in front of Niu Chen, so she stuck out her tongue and shrugged.
Niu Chenzhi didn't seem to hear anything, and looked at Yan Liunian: "Miss Yan, has the elder brother of the Yan family, Yan Liuhua, come back?" ”
Yan Liunian didn't answer him directly, and looked for a while in the crowd: "You should be back, Gongzi Chen, look, over there, the children of our Yan family should be around, I'll go over and take a look first, and come back to tell you in detail." ”
After Yan Liunian finished speaking, he hurriedly squeezed into the orange Yan family's pile.
After a while, she came out of the crowd again, "I'm back, Gongzi Chen, my eldest brother has come back, and he hasn't been injured at all, just now I heard him say to Uncle Mu Han: 'Fortunately, not dishonored', it seems that the top-grade spirit blade should be in hand!" ”
"You don't see the blade?" Niu Chen was not very accustomed to Yan Liunian's speaking habits, so he asked.
"No, they all received the Baihui waist bag, and when the Seven Evils Club chooses at the end, go to the Jade Fire Glass Palace of Qingya and their house to temper, and we will be able to see the true face of the top-grade spirit blade. Besides, I'm not interested in Ice Blade, I don't want to go in to see what's going on inside the Sacred Tree, but my Daddy ......"
Halfway through Yan Liunian's words, he looked at Niu Chen, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Brother Yu Huan is not from the Ice Splitting Clan, should he ......?"
"No, he studied under Uncle Yu and practiced your technique, and his practice has improved recently." Niu Chen probably guessed that she was going to say that Ah Huan was not a child of the Ice Splitting Clan, because she knew Ah Huan's background, she didn't worry about this, and didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and stopped her from continuing to talk.
"Brother Chen, how can Ah Huan ......" Although Linglu also knew that Ah Huan should not have an accident, but everyone had already come out and returned to the Fengjiang territory, she was still not very relieved.
"Ling'er, it's okay, I found that it wasn't necessarily good to come out first, let's wait."
The sun is setting, and night is approaching. Those who were playing and skidding outside the summit and those who were still playing with the remaining snow piles had already gone back in twos and threes.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the jackdaws return to their nests. Qingya and Yan Liunian also returned to their home in Fengjing.
……
The sky was full of stars, and the spiritual light on the branches of the sacred tree appeared frequently, Ah Huan still did not come back, and even Niu Chen, who had always been calm, walked back and forth in front of the sacred tree with his hands......
"Ling'er, it's so boring to stand like this, otherwise, you can get me and Miss Xin another snowball, let's throw it and play?" Ji Yue walked around and really didn't know what to do, so she leaned over to Linglu and said.
Linglu looked over there, there was still a pile of snow when she woke up in the morning, but now it was already a variety of snow-white statues.
"It's not good, the water vapor is not well controlled, and it will melt the elephant that people have worked so hard to make." She really has no intention of getting snow again at the moment, "I don't know what's going on with Ah Huan, and she hasn't come back yet?" ”
After she finished talking to Ji Yue, she just wanted to turn her head to look at the sacred tree, when Ah Huan's voice came from behind: "Miss Ling'er, let you wait for a long time......"
"Ah Huan!"
"Ah Huan ......"
No one paid attention, and Ah Huan appeared again!
Although it was already night, with the help of the moonlight and the spiritual light of the sacred tree, Linglu found that Ah Huan was in a better state, full of spiritual power, full of energy, and with a confident smile on his face.
Niu Chen and the others all gathered around Ah Huan: "Ah Huan, you can see that your harvest this time is not small!" ”
"Yes, Gongzi Chen, I have benefited a lot from entering the Divine Tree this time, what about you?" Ah Huan didn't know that Niu Chen hadn't even entered the Divine Tree, and looked at him expectantly.
"I ...... Don't mention it, ashamed...... I didn't even pass the key test......"
Ah Huan looked surprised: "How could it be ......?" Since I was a child, your spells have been my admiration......"
"Ah Huan, tell us quickly, why did you stay in it for three days, why did you come out last?" Linglu didn't want him to ask Niu Chen any more, so she hurriedly interrupted him.
"Three days? Am I the last one to come out?" Ah Huan obviously doesn't know yet.
"Yes, Master Yu, no matter what, it's good for you to come back." Xin Yi never said anything, and when he saw Ah Huan coming back, it seemed that a heart had finally landed.
Ah Huan looked around, there were only a few of them on the huge ice field, and he was a little upset, and hurriedly said: "It's been so long, it's not Ah Huan's, so you are so worried, let's go back, go back and sit down and talk while eating." ”
The front hall of Shangyu Realm was brightly lit, although everyone knew that there would be fierce games tomorrow, but they didn't want to sleep, and gathered in the hall to wait for Ah Huan to tell him about his experience in the past few days.
"Hmm...... Well, I'll tell you......" Ah Huan cleared his throat.
"Come on, Ah Huan, what's in the sacred tree, why have you changed again?" Linglu was afraid that he would sell it, so she urged.
"Ahem...... Cough! There were two more throat clearing sounds, but this time it was not Ah Huan.
Ah Huan's stepfather, Yu Ranze, who only showed his face at the opening of the Ice Washing Festival, appeared by the corner gate.
"Ahem...... cough, the sacred tree has a spirit, and the people of the Ice Splitting Clan should be in awe, so that they can get its shade, how can they put their beaks at will? Huan'er, now that you're back, you should settle in early enough to win the championship tomorrow. ”
Everyone hurriedly got up to salute, and Yu Ranze said to them again: "Everyone, on the three days of the Ice Washing Festival, you must have worked hard to wait for joy at the sacred tree, right?" Tomorrow is the right day for the Seven Evils to choose to compete, and they are all ...... Go back and rest early. ”
The head of the Yu family didn't seem to want Ah Huan to talk about the situation in the sacred tree, urging everyone to rest.
Seeing this situation, Niu Chen took the lead in getting up and bidding farewell to the head of the Yu family, and Linglu and the others couldn't ask Ah Huan anymore, so they could only go back to the room to rest.
Ah Huan went back to his room after being reprimanded by his father-in-law, but he was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep.
When I think back to all the experiences I have had since I entered the Sacred Tree, I really feel that some things are very mysterious and not suitable to be talked about as a joke.
At that time, when the key was tested, Ah Huan was standing behind Yan Liuyu, Niu Chen was behind him, and he really didn't know what happened to Niu Chen later.
And after he entered the Divine Tree, the previous Yanliu Year was the same, and disappeared.
But Ah Huan couldn't look for Yan Liuzhen, because after entering the Divine Tree, it was pitch black inside, and there were some small shrill voices surrounding him.
"Yu Gongzi, Yu Gongzi ......" Although the voice was weird, Ah Huan could tell that it was called him.
"Who? Who are you? Who are you? Ah Huan was unarmed and a little nervous. I don't know how many people on the other side mean by calling him.
"What is Young Master Yu, obviously it is the Young Master of Jimo." Another, slightly louder voice appeared.
"Oh? Who are you? How do you know about me?"
"Childe, no matter who we are? Don't ask how we know who you are and do you want to make a name for yourself? Take me out! The same voice from before began again.
"What's good with you? Childe, choose me! I can help you get beauty, wealth. "It's that one again.
"Nonsense, what is the wealth of beautiful women, I can help my son annihilate the enemy and slaughter dissidents." A slightly heavy voice interrupted the two voices.
Ah Huan somewhat understood, these voices should be from the sword spirit in the divine tree. It's just that what they said, Ah Huan was not moved. On the contrary, it was the Ghost Fire Yuan Qi carried by the sword spirits in the Divine Tree that made him feel comfortable, even more than the warmth of the pearl when his father-in-law took him to retreat in those days, which was just right for practice.
Ah Huan ignored them, and let the sword spirits recommend themselves, and they were able to speak their tongues. Since it was pitch black around him, he simply closed his eyes and began to silently recite the eighth level of the Xuanji Ice Spirit's Mysterious Ice Secret Mantra.
Ah Huan felt that the grade of these sword spirits was not high, and he was obviously in awe of the demon ring on his wrist, although he was recommending himself, he didn't dare to approach him. I thought to myself: That's fine, with these sword spirits by your side to protect the Dharma, you can just enter the Void Realm with confidence.
He himself didn't know how long he had been in the Void Realm, the spiritual power and ice qi were flowing smoothly, and although the eightfold exercise had not yet been completed, he obviously felt that the ice outside his bones had thickened, and the sevenfold bone quenching ice soul was already invulnerable, and he could immediately continue the eightfold.
Gradually, he felt his legs crossed off the ground, and his body seemed to rise upward.
The noisy sound of the low-level sword spirit in his ears had also disappeared, and there was no room for the sword spirit's ghostly fire Yuan Qi on his body, but it did not lose its heat, but it was like being under the scorching sun.
Ah Huan opened his eyes, and the surroundings were indeed not as dark as just now, as dark as falling into hell, although there were no flowers, but they felt as warm as the mortal world.
He raised his eyes and looked around, although his observation was limited, he could still vaguely see that there was a path ahead, and the lintel looked vaguely as if the words "Zhonglu Realm" were written. Ah Huan stood up and tidied up her clothes, and walked into the doorway.
In the middle of the realm, it is somewhat similar to the mortal world, Ah Huan feels some warm feelings into his heart, although he has not seen a room or a corridor, there seems to be a trace of fireworks in the world. On closer inspection, he also noticed that there were occasional children walking in a hurry.
He was about to catch up with a boy to inquire when a boy in a light blue shirt with a bun on his head approached him and greeted him.
"Hello Gongzi Yu."
"Are you ......" Ah Huan wanted to ask again, "How do you know what my surname is?" After thinking about it again, this little boy should be a sword spirit who was waiting for him here.
"I wonder if Childe is willing to let me help you, walk the world, and help the weak in addition to the strong?"
"Oh? How can I help? ”
"Childe, please." After the little boy finished speaking, he quietly waited for Ah Huan to accept him.
Ah Huan took a closer look at the children walking here, although most of them were about the same height and physique, but with his intuition, since their clothes and hairstyles were different, it should be that the attributes and effects of the spirit blade were not the same.
Thinking of this, Ah Huan thought: It's better to ask carefully, after all, it's not easy to come in once, so you can't catch one and take it out.
"What grade of spirit blade do you belong to, and what kind of attacks are you good at?"
The little boy stopped talking, just waiting for Ah Huan to reply to him "yes" or "no".
Ah Huan deliberately didn't answer him, and after a while, the little boy repeated again: "I wonder if Gongzi is willing to let me help you?" Although this little boy is a little dull and wooden, he is much better than the twitter in the dark night.
Ah Huansi: "If the sword spirit in the dark night belongs to the lower grade, then this child-like sword spirit in the world should belong to the middle grade, so it's better to wait......"
Since the sword spirit boy was by his side to protect the Dharma and was unwilling to abandon him and leave, Ah Huan didn't want to waste this blazing sun and fire in vain, closed his eyes and directly entered the Void Realm, and began to cultivate again.
