Taoyuan Wonderland Chapter Ninety-Eight There is an ambush in the ice and snow cave
On Qianyuan Mountain, Xie Baoshu practiced the knife for another half a month.
Not only that, but he also practiced the "White Crane Nodding Style" very proficiently, which can greatly improve his speed. On this day, Song Heng found Xie Baoshu and said it was time to go. Mobei is more farther away, the road is difficult and dangerous, it is better to start early.
When Lao Wu heard that they were leaving, he was a little reluctant, after he crossed the moat, he didn't have to be a bandit, and several families in Bingxue Prefecture extended an olive branch to him. Lao Wu is ready to take his subordinates in the cottage to the Ice and Snow State together.
Although Qianyuanshan is good, he will always grow old one day, and it is impossible to protect these people for the rest of his life. It's always good to find them a home.
Before leaving, only the fifth child came out to see them off.
Nie Hongfu, the second master, didn't know where to go, and he hadn't seen anyone in the past few days. Xie Baoshu couldn't see her for a while, and he still missed her a little.
Without too much entanglement, Xie Baoshu followed Song Heng and continued on the road. They had to pass through the Ice and Snow State, and then go to the place due north, and every step forward, the colder the weather became, Xie Baoshu could only take out the silver to buy two coats to protect against the cold and replace them with a pair of leather boots. There is no way, there is not enough immortal jade in your hand, otherwise, it will definitely not be a problem to buy two treasure-level robes to keep out the cold. Xie Baoshu didn't want to ask Song Heng for immortal jade, so he could only use silver to buy some mundane clothes, which were quite warm to wear on his body.
Although he now has the cultivation of the Qi Control Realm, the weather in the Ice and Snow State is too cold.
I heard people say that in the Ice and Snow State, if you lick the iron gate with your tongue outside, your tongue will stick. Xie Baoshu didn't believe in this evil, so he found the iron door of a house and tried it, but as soon as his tongue touched it, he was frozen. In the end, it was the family who brought out a basin of warm water to get his tongue off.
Since then, Xie Baoshu no longer dares to underestimate the weather in the ice and snow state.
And the farther north he went, Xie Baoshu felt that the aura was getting thinner and thinner. He thought it was because of the cold weather, but what did the cold weather have to do with the aura? He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Half a month after their departure, they came to the Ice and Snow Cave Heaven, one of the ten major cave heavens.
Under the sky, in addition to the Three Realms and Five Elements, there are four major fairies, ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed lands. The Ice and Snow Cave is ranked eighth, and it is a good place for physical cultivation and tempering of the body, and many people will practice in it every year. This ice and snow cave was originally exclusive to a certain family, but later after this family was broken, it became an ownerless thing. The entire Ice and Snow State, even the Fang family, couldn't eat such a big piece of fat. Therefore, anyone can enter the ice and snow cave. There's just one rule.
Inside, life and death are not guaranteed, and Xuanwuwei doesn't care what happens inside.
So even if you're a demonic monk, it doesn't hurt to go in and kill.
In addition to these, in the Ice and Snow Cave Heaven, I heard that there is also a fairy sword hidden, which is composed of cold ice, and it is one of the few fairy swords that can be taken out in the Ice and Snow State. This fairy sword is an ownerless thing, and those who are destined to get it, countless monks from other states have come to the Ice and Snow Cave for this fairy sword. It's a pity that the most dead people are gone, and they are just looking through the autumn water.
Xie Baoshu didn't understand why Song Heng wanted to take a detour to come to this ice and snow cave. Originally, they could go directly to Mobei and not come to this dangerous place.
Song Heng explained: "When you were in the Two Realms Mountain, you had that blood-colored mist on your body, which should be the disadvantage of the body refining method. In this ice and snow cave, there is a treasure called "thousand-year-old Xuanbing". If you wear it closely, it can suppress the demonic nature in your heart and make you pure and have few desires. Anyway, it's coming, find a way to get in and find a piece of it. ”
Xie Baoshu was a little vigilant and asked, "There won't be any danger here, right?" ”
Song Heng glanced at him and said, "It's dangerous to eat and drink, don't you skip eating?" You have a lot to pay attention to in this body refining technique, do you know how Liu Kanshan suppressed the demonic nature in his heart back then?"
Xie Baoshu shook his head, he really hadn't heard Liu Guanshan say anything about this.
Song Heng said with a smile: "Liu Kanshan has killed many more monsters than you, and he also has a lot of resentment about dead monsters." When he was about to go mad, he voluntarily walked into the demon subjugation tower established by the Buddhist family in Chang'an City. I heard that in it, I learned a superior Dharma, which can suppress the demonic nature in my heart. Why, do you have the ability to go to the Demon Suppression Tower?"
Xie Baoshu hurriedly waved his hand, this demon subduing tower, he had heard of it, there were many ancient demons imprisoned in it. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those big demons who can't be killed have all been imprisoned in the demon subjugation tower. It is rumored that there are ten floors in the Demon Suppression Tower, and each floor is imprisoned by many vicious demons. Liu Kanshan's strength is strong, and he is confident that he can walk in and come out. Isn't this cultivation of oneself looking for death?
Song Heng didn't say anything more, and took Xie Baoshu straight to the Ice and Snow Cave Heaven.
The entrance to the Ice and Snow Cave was a huge ice cave, and standing at the entrance, Xie Baoshu felt that he was shivering from the cold. Here, you can still hear the howl of the cold wind in the cave, and the strings of ice skates overhead, like a spear. Xie Baoshu raised his head from time to time, afraid that the ice skates would fall.
Song Heng glanced around, frowned, and seemed to have found something extraordinary. But he didn't say anything, led Xie Baoshu into this ice and snow cave.
Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, and a figure stood up from the snow. Then, beside him, figures also stood up. It turned out that outside this cave, there were many people in ambush. The one who was the leader looked at Xie Baoshu and the two who walked into the ice and snow cave, and was silent.
A person next to him whispered: "Boss, do you see clearly, that kid is carrying a spiritual weapon on his back!"
The leader seemed to be very hesitant, and he said: "I can't figure out the realm of that old man, we can't eat these two people, so let's go back and tell the family masters." ”
The subordinate seemed a little unwilling, and said again: "If you tell them, we may have to drink soup." ”
Tou Tou turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's good to have soup to drink, it's better than no death." If you want to go in alone, I will never stop you, and I will not covet you at all for the treasure you grab. I'm going back to tell the head of the house, you can do whatever you want. ”
With that, he waved his hand and walked away with his other men.
In place, the man hesitated for a moment, but still did not have the courage to go in alone, and strode after his leader.
In the ice and snow cave, Xie Baoshu didn't know that the danger was approaching, he followed behind Song Heng, looking up from time to time. Inside this big cave, the space is very large, and there are countless small caves. After Xie Baoshu walked for a stick of incense, he glanced back at the way he came, and felt that he would definitely not be able to go back alone.
Passing by countless Xiaoice caves, Xie Baoshu and the two finally came to an open place. As soon as he appeared, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting through Xie Baoshu's face, and a trace of blood flowed out. It's no wonder that physical cultivators like to come here to quench their bodies, and the environment here is really difficult. Xie Baoshu's body in the Qi Control Realm was actually cut by the wind knife, and he saw blood.
Song Heng on the side couldn't help but scold when he saw him like this: "Are you a pig, you have reached the Qi Control Realm, and you still can't learn to release the true qi in your body." ”
Xie Baoshu retorted: "How could I not? It's just a waste of physical strength. ”
Song Heng stretched out his hand, only to see a faint gas, wrapping his entire palm. He said, "If you wrap your whole body with a little qi, you won't be cut by this knife." ”
Xie Baoshu asked, "In this case, wouldn't the quenching body have no effect?"
When Song Heng heard his words, he laughed and said disdainfully: "Do you think that this Ice and Snow Cave Heavenly Gang Wind is so simple? Just by virtue of your cultivation in the Qi Control Realm, you also want to quench your body." This is just the beginning, the further you go inside, the stronger the wind will become, and your life may be in danger at that time. Most of the people who come here to quench their bodies are monks who have crossed the moat. Like you, forget it. ”
Xie Baoshu sighed, followed Song Heng's example, and wrapped himself with the true qi in his body.
Sure enough, it was a lot more comfortable.
The two of them continued to walk forward, their leather boots stepping on the ice slag, and the sound was a little harsh. After turning a big corner, Xie Baoshu heard a rumbling sound in front of him. He asked Song Heng: "This cave won't collapse." ”
Song Heng said with a smile: "You also underestimate the Ice and Snow Cave Heaven, one of the top ten cave heavens, we haven't even entered a tenth of it now." Under this cave, there is also a world of ice and snow, which is the real core of the cave. It's just that ordinary people can't get in, and on top of this ice cave, it's enough to practice. ”
Only then did Xie Baoshu understand that the ice cave would not collapse at all.
At this time, Xie Baoshu walked forward, and when he heard the rumbling sound getting louder and louder, he was very curious, and he didn't know if it would be a monster. He walked in front of Song Heng, very anxious to see where the voice came from. After walking for a long time, he finally approached, and his ears ached a little from the sound.
He saw that on the ice cave, there was a big man, Yu Feng was in mid-air, punching the ice cave in front of him. The rumbling sound just now was the sound of the fist colliding violently with the ice cave. This big man is a little different from ordinary people, he is tall, not the height of a normal person. The whole person is like a giant bear, and every punch is thrown with unparalleled power. Xie Baoshu felt like a newborn baby in front of this big man.
Suddenly, the big man stopped his fist and turned his head to look at Xie Baoshu, it turned out that he also sensed Xie Baoshu's breath.
Xie Baoshu was about to retreat, after all, there were a lot of disturbing other people's cultivation. Unexpectedly, the big man, in an instant, came to Xie Baoshu's side. Xie Baoshu was about to say hello, but he didn't expect that the big man was like a bear, surrounding him and smelling on himself.
Soon, the big man's eyes lit up and asked, "Have you fought with Sister Meng?"
Xie Baoshu stiffened his head and nodded.
Sister Meng is estimated to be the one who woke up from the dream a few days ago.
The big man patted him on the shoulder, showed a mouth of big white teeth, and smiled, "Do you want to have a fight with me?"
This big man is another physique cultivator who is as famous as Fang Mengxing, the leader of the younger generation in the Ice and Snow State. However, he is different from Fang Mengxing, he never challenges others, but just cultivates silently, waiting for others to challenge him. What's wrong today, I suddenly challenged Xie Baoshu.
Xie Baoshu looked at the big man's fist, which was as big as three of his fists, he shook his head and said, "I have other things, if I want to fight, wait for later." ”
The big man was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, but smiled at Xie Baoshu again: "That's okay, when your realm is high in the future, let's fight again." After saying that, he smiled at Xie Baoshu again, and then flew forward and continued to hit those ice caves with his fist.
Xie Baoshu found that there were some broken ice slags on the ground, with blood stains, which showed how hard the big man was cultivating.
Song Heng caught up from the side, and also saw the big man who was practicing, pointed at him and said: "Look at people, talent is not good to work hard to make up, and then look at you, it is not good to practice boxing, and it is not fast to practice knives." Where's the face that still smiles every day?"
Xie Baoshu ignored him, covered his ears with his hands, and walked forward.
Song Heng didn't mind, and then said and said on the side. Soon, the two of them came to the deepest part of this ice cave, which was a large cave, and the bottom of the cave was full of ice, and inside was the core of the real ice and snow cave. But it's too cold, and there is no magic weapon for heating, so I can't get in at all.
Song Heng brought Xie Baoshu here just to let him take a little "Thousand Years of Xuanbing" at the entrance.
Xie Baoshu squatted down, and it was obvious that the ice here was different from other places, and the color was darker. He pulled out the Qingyun Sword behind him, and in this kind of place, his wooden knife cut off the water, and he would definitely cut through the thousand-year-old Xuanbing. He walked cautiously on the ice-cold stone steps, and little by little, he went down to the center of the cave.
In the center, it is full of thousand-year-old ice.
It is said that under this cave, there is still "10,000-year-old Xuanbing", but no one has ever seen it.
Song Heng looked at Xie Baoshu's cautious and vigilant figure, and felt a little comforted in his heart, this young man finally stopped acting so recklessly. He patted the ice cube beside him and shouted, "Don't hide, come out." ”
Suddenly, in the entire ice cave, several figures leaped out and surrounded Song Heng.
There were four of them, each masked, and the clothes on their bodies were almost the same. And they occupy four directions, south, south, west, and northwest, one azimuth each. Immediately after, a huge light lit up under the feet of several people, and it seemed to be a formation.
Song Heng sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there was still a formation mage hidden." ”
Array mage is a special kind of cultivator, and his own strength is not strong, but once he cooperates with others and fights in a group, he can even fight in a group. If you let him know your route in advance and lay out the formation in advance, then the opponent will definitely not be able to parry. Sure enough, behind the masked man in the east, there was a short figure, busy with something.
Hearing Song Heng's words, he stopped what he was doing, poked his head out, said hello to Song Heng, and said, "It's much easier to kill you first, and then kill the little one." ”
Xie Baoshu was at the bottom of the cave at this time, still walking forward slowly, ready to get a little bit of the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice, and he didn't know what was happening on it at all.
Song Heng looked up at the ice cave, he was already shrouded in the formation, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get out for a while. Since he couldn't run, he simply didn't run, he held the hilt of the knife on his waist and said with a smile: "Several cultivators are so high, it seems that they are not simple people, do they all have plans for the monks who entered this ice and snow cave?"
The four laughed, and one of them said, "No, no, no, we are very busy, and we usually don't make a move easily." If it weren't for the sword that kid was carrying behind him today, the quality was really good, plus your cultivation was too high, and you actually had the Earth Immortal Realm, so we would have made a move. Some little minions on weekdays, how can we do it?"
Song Heng was a little puzzled and asked, "Since you know that I am an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, you still dare to come to me for trouble?"
The four masked men looked at each other, then laughed and said, "Earth Fairyland? Now that you are trapped in this immortal killing array by us, you have a lot of heavenly mana, I'm afraid you won't even be able to use two percent. ”
Song Heng frowned, sure enough, he was in the formation, and the strength of his whole body was rapidly lost. He smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll make a quick decision." After speaking, he pulled out the dragon slaying knife and aimed it at the formation mage behind the person in the east, which was a "dragon raising its head"!
Song Heng's dragon slaying sword has a lot of dragon souls on it, so when he uses this style of "dragon raising his head", there is a dragon groan.
A few masked people, their faces were a little gloomy, the strength of this old man with a knife was a little higher than they imagined. The sword qi that the dragon raised its head rolled up and slammed into the glowing formation, and the figures of several masked people shook twice, as if the power of this move was not small. They looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
One of the masked men shouted, "Don't keep your hands, this old man is not simple, and the knife in his hand may also be a spiritual weapon." ”
Hearing the word spirit weapon, the other people looked firm and began to brew an attack. The short-stated formation mage even took out a few pieces of green immortal jade from his pocket, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he put these pieces of immortal jade on the formation. Suddenly, the formation was even more vigorous than the light it had just emitted.
Xie Baoshu was at the bottom of the cave, listening to the sound of the dragon's groan, and he was a little worried in his heart, that old man was alone on it, nothing would happen, right? Thinking of this, he hurriedly returned the same way, and the thousand-year-old Xuanbing was not ready to ask for it.
Halfway through, he swerved and dodged a knife hidden in an ice pick.
Xie Baoshu put the Qingyun Chaotian Sword back behind his back, stared at the surrounding walls composed of ice picks, and shouted, "Whoever is there, come out quickly!"
A gloomy laugh suddenly sounded, and it sounded a little infiltrating in this ice cave, and a man in black, slowly emerging from the ice pick, said with a smile: "The vigilance is not bad, but unfortunately it is useless." A few adults are up there, hunt down your high-level master, and you will leave it to me. ”
Sure enough, Xie Baoshu glanced up, and there was a fluctuation of true qi on it, and it was very strong. The dragon roar just now should be the "dragon raises its head!" used by the master to draw his sword!"
What kind of opponent could make this old man draw his sword? Xie Baoshu didn't dare to imagine.
He looked at the man in black in front of him, and slowly put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
