Chapter 1461: Wind and Snow Break Temple
"Master, where are we going next?" Chun-Li is like a chirping magpie, as if she has endless energy, and she has not been quiet since leaving the fishing village.
Murong Feng said, "Qinglong Temple." ”
"Huh!? Seiryuji Temple?! Chunli was surprised: "The Qinglong Temple in the Emerald Forest?!" Master, what are we going to do at Qinglong Temple? Are you going to kick the gym, Master? ”
Murong Feng said with a black line on his face: "What have you been thinking about all day long in your little head?" Can you still have a good one? To go for the teacher is to find someone. ”
"Looking for whom?" Chun-Li's eyes lit up, and she seemed to ignite the soul of raging gossip.
Murong Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Don't think about it, as a teacher, you are going to find Master Zhou Zhuo." ”
"Wow! Master Zhou Zhuo! Chun-Li looked amazed.
Murong Feng was surprised: "Do you know?" ”
"Uh, I don't know." Chunli smiled awkwardly: "But since you can be called a master by Master, you must be a powerful big man." ”
Murong Feng rolled his eyes and said, "It seems that I have to add a little weight to you." ”
The girl who was carrying a large bag and saluted immediately let out a wail and begged for mercy.
***
Zhao Hu has lived a very comfortable life in the past three days, there are no vicious trolls, no extremely cold blizzards, and there is no need to cross mountains and mountains. It's just wine and food, and there's a trip to go.
After receiving the task from the Heavenly God Xue Fu, Zhao Hu and Lao Chen set off to leave the White Tiger Temple.
The group first went down to the yak second-hand market at the foot of Baihusi Mountain under the guidance of Kang Thorn Stick, and found the second-hand yak merchant, a dwarf land spirit.
Originally, Lao Chen planned to rent a few yaks to travel, but it happened that a caravan of land spirits was about to set off across the rough hemp path to Panlongji, west of Kunlai Mountain.
Lao Chen and the others temporarily joined the caravan as an escort on the recommendation of Kang Thornstaff, escorting the caravan to the town of Jiutanji, and then going deep into the Kunlai Mountains from there to find the treasure house of the Mogu Clan.
Then the mighty caravan set off from the second-hand yak market and walked for two whole days before arriving at the town of Jiutanji. During this period, he did not encounter any danger along the way, but after arriving at night, he encountered several beasts attacking the camp, and they were easily repelled by Lao Chen and his people.
As a thank you, the leader of the land spirit caravan not only paid the escort fee in full, but also rented out three yaks to Lao Chen at a low price, and when Lao Chen came back from exploring the treasure house of the Demon Ancient Clan, he only had to store the yaks in Jiutanji Town.
After separating from the land spirit caravan, Lao Chen and the others rode yaks into the mountains early the next morning.
There are seven people in three yaks, and each head is divided into two people, which is not a little weight for a yak with a height of nearly two meters and a half at the shoulder.
Because there is one more Lili, Lao Chen, Zhao Hu and Lili ride together.
Lili, who wrapped herself in a round ball, sat at the front, chewing candy in her mouth and asked vaguely, "Uncle Chen, how big is Kunlai Mountain, and where is the treasure house of the mushroom clan?" ”
"Speak well, it's the Mogu Clan." Lao Chen took the pipe and tapped Lili's little head lightly, and said, "Do you see the projection of the palace on the top of the mountain?" Let's go there first to look for clues. ”
"The top of the mountain?" Lili covered her head and looked up at the top of the towering mountain, and immediately said with a small face: "Ah, what a big snowy mountain to climb!" What are those Mogu people doing with nothing to build their palaces so high? ”
"I don't know about that." Lao Chen said lightly.
Zhao Hu, who was sitting in the back, asked curiously, "Old Chen, is there still a Demon Gu Clan on the Pandaria Continent now?" Why haven't I heard anyone mention it again? ”
Lao Chen took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke and said slowly: "Since the brutal rule of the last emperor of the Mogu clan was overthrown, the entire Mogu clan has almost disappeared under the joint efforts of the resistance alliance of all races. However, it is rumored that there are still some stubborn Demon Gu clans in the Splendid Valley in the center of the continent. Therefore, Lord Snow Fury lowered his divine power to seal the entire Splendid Valley to prevent the Demon Gu Clan from coming back and causing trouble to Pandaria again. ”
"So what's going on." Zhao Hu said suddenly.
At this time, Lili suddenly pointed to the mountain road in front of her and shouted, "Uncle Chen, look, the mountain road in front of you is sealed." ”
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Got caught in a robbery? Zhao Hu poked his head out from behind Lao Chen and saw a wooden sign poked in the middle of the road blocking the way.
"It's inaccessible here, so there's no way to rob the road. You stay here, I'll see. Lao Chen turned over and jumped off the yak and walked forward with a bamboo stick.
Zhao Hu picked up his rifle and released a scout, alert for a possible ambush around.
Soon, Lao Chen walked back with a solemn face and said, "It's the mountain closure order set up by the Shadow Trace Sect!" ”
"Shadow Sect?!" Zhao Hu asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?" ”
Lao Chen explained: "The Shadow Trace Sect is a sect established by Shao Hao, the first emperor of our panda people, and its main responsibility is to guard the ancient seal. ”
Zhao Hu was surprised: "Ancient seal? What's sealed? ”
Lao Chen said in a deep voice: "I don't know much about this, I only know that this seal has existed since the birth of this world, and once it is opened, it will be an unimaginable catastrophe. ”
Zhao Hu asked, "Then Lao Chen, are you familiar with this person from the Shadow Sect?" ”
Lao Chen shook his head and said, "I have been to Pandaria several times, but I have never come into contact with the people of the Shadow Trace Sect. Because they have little contact with outsiders and only fulfill their mission that is passed down from generation to generation. ”
The old king of Zhuangbo and several people also gathered one after another, and asked in surprise, "Why did the Shadow Trace Sect suddenly issue an order to close the mountain?" Could it be that something is going on in the sect? ”
Lao Chen shook his head slightly and said, "There is no explanation of the reason on the wooden plaque, but it will definitely not be a trivial matter to be able to make the Shadow Trace Sect issue an order to close the mountain." ”
"Old Chen, what should we do now?" Zhao Hu asked, "Shall we still go find the treasure house of the Demon Gu Clan?" ”
Lao Chen decided, "Lord Snow Fury's trial can't be abandoned halfway, if you meet someone from the Shadow Trace Sect and explain the reason to them, I think they will understand." Let's go, move on. ”
The crowd didn't say anything more, and climbed on the back of the yak to bypass the wooden sign blocking the way.
Because he was worried about being intercepted by the Shadow Sect, Zhao Hu did not take back the miniature scout, and floated around to act as a miniature warning radar.
But along the way, except for the snow-heavy mountain road, there was not even a ghost, which made Zhao Hubai worried.
However, the rugged mountain road and the heavy snow cover the mountain, even if a group of people have yaks to walk, the trek is extremely difficult.
At noon, the sky suddenly deteriorated sharply, and for a while black clouds overwhelmed the wind and snow.
Lao Chen hurriedly led the team to find a leeward col to escape the blizzard.
Zhuang Bo worried: "Lao Chen, I'm afraid the wind and snow won't stop for a while, if it comes to night, we will be in danger, otherwise it's not too late to go back to Jiutanji Town and wait for the snowstorm to pass before entering the mountain." ”
Lao Chen shook his head and said: "It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, how big is this wind and snow, plus the mountain road is steep, even if it gets dark, we may not be able to return to Jiutanji Town, if we get lost in the snowy mountains, it will be even more dangerous." ”
At this time, Zhao Hu suddenly said: "Lao Chen continued to walk forward for about a thousand meters, there was a fork in the road, and then a few hundred meters to the right, there was a ruined temple!" ”
"How do you know?" Everyone said in surprise.
Zhao Hu smiled slightly, and reached out to pick up a miniature scout that came out of the snow.
Everyone immediately didn't say anything more, packed their bags, pulled up the yaks, and continued on the road against the violent snowstorm.
There is a miniature scout to guide the way, and everyone doesn't have to worry about getting lost, just bury their heads and move forward.
Soon, the 'broken temple' that Zhao Hu said appeared in front of everyone.
"This is not a broken temple!" But Lao Chen denied it: "This is a remnant of the reign of the Demon Gu Clan. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a ruined temple or a ruin, let's go and hide from the wind and snow first." Zhao Hu urged.
Lao Chen said cautiously: "Don't worry, the ruins of the Demon Gu Clan have a lot of traps. ”
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous." Zhao Hu threw out a miniature scout and lurked around, and said, "My scout has already searched this ruined temple inside and out, and I haven't found any mechanism at all. ”
"Okay." Lao Chen no longer hesitated, and beckoned everyone to lead the yak into the tall but dilapidated temple gate.
The whole ruins are divided into three courtyards, the front is the main hall, and the back is the courtyard. Built on the mountain, standing at the pass, it must have been a half-temple and half-military fortress building during the reign of the Mogu clan in the past.
However, only a few ruins remain, barely sheltering from the wind and snow.
But when they opened the door and entered the main hall, they found a lot of hay scattered on the ground and a fire that had been extinguished.
"There's been a guy here!" Lao Chen immediately became vigilant, stepped forward and picked up the bonfire, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "But it's been more than a day since I left." ”
"Lao Chen, could it be that he is a member of the Shadow Sect?" Zhuang Bo guessed.
"Very likely." Lao Chen said: "But it's best if you don't meet it, so you don't have to misunderstand." Lao Wang, you go and lead the yak to the corner, and the three of you go to find some firewood and come back. Xiaohu, you and I will search the entire ruins again, so as not to miss anything. ”
"Yes." Everyone promised.
"Uncle Chen, what about me?" Lili said in a coquettish voice.
"Lili, you leave it to eat." Lao Chen instructed: "Look at the weather outside, it is estimated that we will have to spend the night here tonight." ”
"If you don't bring anything with you, you're no longer a child." Lili muttered a sentence and sat back with an unhappy face.
Lao Chen shook his head, greeted Zhao Hu and took him to look at the backyard.
The two of them checked and found no danger, and returned to the main hall.
"Did Lao Chen find anything?" Zhuang Bo looked up and asked.
"No, but that's for the best." Lao Chen sat down in front of the fire and rubbed his hands to keep warm: "It seems that this ruin has been carefully searched by the people of the Shadow Sect. ”
Zhao Hu sat on the side while roasting the fire while looking around the entire hall, and found that the statues in the hall seemed to have been deliberately destroyed and their heads were broken, leaving only the two stone lions outside the temple gate to survive and remain intact.
At this time, Lao Wang opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Chen, do you think we can find that treasure house?" This Kunlai Mountain is the land of the Shadow Trace Sect, and if there is any treasure house of the Demon Gu Clan, it is estimated that it has already been moved away. ”
Lao Chen added some firewood to the bonfire and said, "Lord Snow Fury is here for us to find something that represents power, not to hunt for treasure. ”
"But what is this thing that represents power?" Lao Wang complained: "Lord Snow Fury is really true, so you can't make it clear." ”
"Be careful!" Lao Chen glared and said: "It's not a god to talk about behind your back, but you will be punished by heaven." ”
Lao Wang pursed his lips and said no more.
Zhao Hu baked the pancakes and proposed, "If you want me to say, why don't we go to the Shadow Sect to help?" People are the head snake here, and the other party must know where the treasure house is. Lao Chen, I know what you're worried about, but don't forget that we came on the orders of the gods, so no matter how crazy the Shadow Sect is, how dare you argue with the gods? ”
Lao Chen shook his head and said, "This is Lord Snow Fury's test for us, if we seek external help, it is tantamount to going against Lord Snow Fury's wishes." ”
"Okay, you still figure it out." Zhao Hu blew a mouthful of hot air and hissed a mouthful of hot pancakes.
The crowd fell silent, except for the crackling of the campfire.
At this time, the wind and snow outside the temple became heavier and heavier, and it was already as dark as night when it was just past noon.
Everyone had nothing to do when they were full of food and drink, so they simply played cards to kill time.
In the evening, the wind and snow have weakened a lot, but the temperature has dropped sharply to the point of fogging.
Everyone was so cold that they lost their interest in playing cards, so they simply rested early.
Because Zhao Hu had cultivated the Jiuyang Divine Skill that was not afraid of the cold, he took the initiative to ask Ying to take charge of the night duty task in the first half of the night.
Yesterday, Murong Fenggang helped him open up the pulse, sitting by the bonfire and practicing his internal strength, Zhao Hu felt the continuous generation of internal force in his body, and felt a full sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, as the number of meridians opened up increased to three, Zhao Hu found that he didn't need to control his true qi at all, and he could operate on his own.
"This Jiuyang Divine Skill is really worthy of being a divine skill that has been inherited by Buddhism for thousands of years!" Zhao Hu secretly praised, clicked on the online forum, and felt cold sweat after reading it for a while.
"My little sister is really like a god." Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing that this time he could be regarded as offending all the players on the server.
It's late at night.
"Dididi!" Suddenly, there was a siren from the miniature scouts that were placed outside!
Zhao Hu immediately stopped his cultivation and pulled out his rifle, and slapped Lao Chen awake.
"There's a situation out there!" Zhao Hu lowered his voice, and together with Lao Chen, he woke up the others one after another.
"Spread out, Zhuang Bo took Lili to hide." Lao Chen touched the door with a bamboo stick and glanced through the crack, only to see a few black shadows flashing quickly in the snowstorm.
Zhao Hu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"Master!" Lao Chen said in a deep voice: "It may be someone from the Shadow Sect!" You stay in the temple, and I will go out to say hello, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the other party!" ”
"Be careful." Zhao Hu admonished, changed out the sniper rifle and dodged into the dark corner.
Lao Chen took a deep breath of cold air, slowly opened the door, and immediately let the wind and snow pour into the main hall, blowing the bonfire into a flickering light.
"The one who came is a master of the Shadow Trace Sect?" Lao Chen walked out of the door of the main hall with a bamboo stick, clenched his fists and said loudly: "In Xia Chen Storm Spirits, I was ordered by Lord Snow Fury to do an important thing through Guibaodi. ”
There was no sound around the ruins except for the howling of the cold wind.
Lao Chen waited for a moment but didn't see anyone answering from the other party, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and secretly said that the person who came was not from the Shadow Sect?
Suddenly, a little cold light mixed with the wind and snow shot at Lao Chen Ling.
