Chapter 1 Substitutions
Liyang Snow Peak is known as the first peak in the world, here is covered with snow all the year round, the mountain peaks are like blades, it can be said that it is difficult for apes to climb, and birds are sad.
However, for martial arts people, Liyang Snow Peak is an unavoidable existence, and the ice peak snow lotus on the top of the mountain blooms every sixty years, which is the main material used to refine the barrier-breaking pill.
Every sixty years, when the Ice Peak Snow Lotus blooms, a large number of martial arts people will rush to Liyang Snow Peak from all directions, looking for an opportunity to pick the Ice Peak Snow Lotus.
However, only some families and sects that have a long tradition will know the method of truly obtaining the Ice Peak Snow Lotus.
When the Ice Peak Snow Lotus blooms every sixty years, these sects and families will send elders with their potential disciples to the side of Liyang Snow Peak, an ice palace hidden in the valley.
This ice palace is not very tall, it looks like an ice cave with a large number of ice blocks piled up at random, and a large amount of fur is scattered around the ice palace to withstand the ubiquitous wind and snow.
There are five huge fires lit in the middle of the Ice Palace, which can be used by martial artists who come here at will, and the only thing that makes people feel strange is that the wood used for burning seems to have never been replaced, as if it can burn forever.
In front of a fire in the far corner, several men and women in Taoist robes were talking quietly, led by a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked to be in his forties, he was studying the fire in front of him, and sighed from time to time, "It's exactly the same as when I came, did you see, this scratch on this wood is what I left back then." ”
Looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest's slightly smug appearance, a little Taoist priest couldn't help but say, "Uncle Shi, is it true, the last time you came here was sixty years ago, how could a fire burn for so long." ”
"Little Taoist, you don't know, the Ice Palace here is imprisoned here by people with great mana, in order to facilitate our trading. Not to mention sixty years, even if it is tens of millions of years, it will not change. At this time, a strong man happened to come over and casually answered the next sentence.
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked up and seemed to recognize the strong man in front of him, and couldn't help but quip, "It turned out to be Yan Daxia, I didn't expect you to come here too." Didn't you say that you would personally go up to Liyang Peak to pick Ice Peak Snow Lotus? ”
"You people from Taiji Palace can come, why can't I come, last time...... Last time, forget it. The strong man said with a depressed face.
A few little Taoist priests didn't have so many worries, and whispered about the last time this strong man climbed Liyang Snow Peak, but was blown down the valley by the wind in the end.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the gate of the Ice Palace, the footsteps were not very heavy, but they were frightening, and the martial arts people present could hear it, and the distance between each step of the owner of the footsteps was seven or eight zhang away.
Soon the footsteps stopped, and the eyes of all the martial arts people present focused on the direction from which the sound came, but their expressions seemed to be a little incredible.
Standing outside the gate of the Ice Palace was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who just casually put on a white bear skin to block the vital parts. His long black hair was not tied up, but was scattered haphazardly. Around his waist was a cyan rattan with a few green leaves hanging from it.
He held a fist-sized yellow gourd in his left hand and an arm-length stone knife in his right hand, looking like a wild man who had just come out of the mountains.
However, his mercury-like muscles radiated a jade-like luster, and there was no trace of wind and sun at all, and he looked like a noble son who was pampered at home.
The boy's left arm was exposed, and the blue tattoo seemed to hide two fist-sized gourd tattoos, one red and one orange.
Glancing at the people in the Ice Palace, the young man said calmly, "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Zong, I have already picked the Ice Peak Snow Lotus you wanted, and I will trade with you for the next three thousand years." ”
His words made the entire Ice Palace instantly quiet, and everyone looked at this side with incredible eyes.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Liu Zong didn't care, "Don't you believe it?" Actually, I don't want to believe this, but it's a fact, in the next three thousand years, I have to trouble you to take care of it, by the way, I want to explain here, my last term, it was called, oh, it seems that the things needed to be called Tong Yuanzi are a little different from the things I need.
Forget it this time, but the next time, sixty years from now, I want to see a lot of tiger bones, tiger bones with a complete skull and spine. ”
"Tiger bones?" The strong man who was talking to the middle-aged Taoist priest at the beginning couldn't help but ask, "This thing is ordinary, but what do you want so many tiger bones for?" ”
Liu Zong smiled slightly, opened the yellow gourd in his hand and took a sip to his mouth, and at the moment when the gourd was opened, everyone in the ice palace smelled a pungent aroma of wine, and there seemed to be an unwilling roar of a tiger in the aroma of wine.
Putting down the gourd, Liu Zong said helplessly, "I can't find more tiger bones, I've killed too many people over the years, and I'm almost finished." ”
Everyone present was speechless, how many tiger bones do you need to say that you are almost finished.
Liu Zong didn't want to talk about this topic any longer, he gently tapped the gourd in his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, a transaction in sixty years, next time I need five complete tiger bones for an Ice Peak Snow Lotus."
If there is no problem, then make this transaction, this year the ice peak snow lotus in the sunny place of Liyang Snow Peak bloomed thirty-one, of which I want to bring back seven and hand in seven, and the rest are all for trading.
The trading method is carried out according to Tongyuanzi, which is right or foreign matter first, followed by ore. ”
When the martial arts people present heard this, they all stood up and took out the things they brought, when the strong man suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”
Liu Zong turned his head to look at the strong man, a silver light flashed in his eyes, and then asked, "Are you from the Yan family?" Can I help you? ”
The strong man was stared at by Liu Zong, feeling as if he was being overpowered by a huge tiger, and took a step back directly, but he immediately shouted, "Three years ago, I inadvertently killed a two-headed tiger, and this time I brought its bones, originally intended to be used as a foreign object trade, but you said that you want tiger bones, I don't know if you need this kind of tiger bones." ”
Hearing this, Liu Zong's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Take it and let me take a look." ”
When the strong man heard this, his face also showed a hint of joy, and he quickly took out a tiger skin package from behind him and placed it in front of Liu Zong.
