194. Rapid Upgrade 2: The Dark Tide is Turbulent
Looking down from the sky, the whole Wei is immersed in another piece of fresh snow, maybe this time has passed, it is the season of spring flowers.
And if there are gods...
It is to glimpse the four long dragons of fortune circling.
Among them, three dragons protect the border, respectively in Tianya Mansion, Chongshan Mansion, and Fengyang Mansion.
The last one is in the royal capital, hovering and curling up, quietly looking up at the sky.
Three dragons protect the country, and one dragon is the royal capital.
The three dragons are not broken, and the fortune of this king is as stable as Mount Tai.
And this is exactly what Xiao Yuanwu said before, "four dragons protect one country".
It is also the dragon qi that the great curses of the underworld are afraid of.
At this time, the dragon in Tianya Mansion suddenly had some abnormal movements, some were furious, some were scattered, and something seemed to have happened...
This kind of dragon power is no better than ordinary dragon energy.
If the dragon qi is uprooted, it is just a piece of falling.
And if this dragon power is destroyed, it will be a real "natural disaster".
The common people are devastated, the earth is abandoned, and a hundred ghosts are rampant.
...
In the heavy snow.
A horse-drawn carriage galloped.
It was a black horse pulling the cart, its mane burning like a nightmare, and the carriage was dark and ominous, and it was galloping across the moor.
This wasteland is located in the remnants of Wangxiang Mountain in Tianya Prefecture.
The carriage was unmanned, and it was not even known if the carriage was occupied.
Only the two scarlet curtains were lifting.
Every time it is lifted, a glimmer of light seeps into the cabin along the cracks.
But the inside of the car was pitch black, strange and infiltrating.
The wheels grinded against the snow and made a screeching sound.
Suddenly, a terrible wind blew, and the snow on the ground was smashed like a tsunami, and the monstrous pale roared and shrouded the nightmarish black horses in them, making them even more hazy and dark.
At this time, in a cave at the foot of Wangxiang Mountain, there was a hunter sighing.
"Hey, I really shouldn't have taken advantage of the sunny day to come to this mountain to pick up leaks... But this big bag of snowman mushrooms can be sold for a lot of money, and those lords like to use this snowman mushroom to stew soup with meat in winter.
After selling this batch of snowman mushrooms, I can renovate the old house again. ”
Orion was strong, and did not carry a bow on his back, but had a storage bag at his waist and a knife in his hand that was easy to chop.
Throw the hemp bag behind him in front of him, and the mouth of the bag opens, revealing the mushrooms in the bag.
White, fat, and even some mushrooms take on a human shape.
This is the snowman mushroom, which can only be found in Wangxiang Mountain after the first snow, and when the weather is a little warmer, it will rot again.
Therefore, if you want to pick this mushroom, you can only take advantage of the heavy snow in winter to climb the mountain.
However, the wind and snow in the north change very quickly, and if you are not lucky, or if you are too greedy, it is very common to be locked in the middle of the road.
This one is as short as three or two days or as long as half a month.
Orion was a little irritable, pacing back and forth in the cave where he was hiding from the snow, and suddenly he saw a black carriage looming in the snow outside the cave. The carriage runs from east to west, which is the direction of his own town.
He was overjoyed: "Someone!"
The hunter subconsciously rushed out, stood on a high hill in the wind and snow, shook his arms, and shouted: "Hey, hey!"
If you can get on this carriage, then you can go back directly.
But the carriage did not stop long, and continued to run forward.
The Orion was stunned for a moment, showing a look of extreme disappointment, and sighed: "Also, the wind and snow are so big, how can the carriage hear my cry for help, hey, it's better to wait for the snow to lighten, and then I'll look for a chance to return." ”
Thinking about it, he turned around, ready to continue to shrink into the hole, to see if he could find a way to pick up a few dry and dismantle them, and raise a campfire to keep warm.
At this moment, the wind and snow were like being isolated.
Behind him came the clatter of horses' hooves.
Orion's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned his head.
It was a black carriage coming towards him from the mist.
This carriage is here?!
A feeling of euphoria filled Orion's heart.
But, in a moment, he realized that something was wrong, because there was no coachman in this carriage...
Orion looked at the roaring wind and snow around him, and for some reason, a strange and infiltrating feeling arose in his heart.
He called "hey" twice, but the black carriage still did not respond.
Only the flaming black horse, staring straight at him, occasionally turning his lips up, revealing his miserable white teeth.
The Orion was bold, tentatively stepped forward, said "presumptuous", and then lifted the curtain.
The curtain is slightly open...
Orion was stunned for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief, the inside of the carriage was empty.
It was thought that the original owner was most likely attacked by bandits, so only an empty carriage ran back.
"It's good luck that this carriage can sell for a lot of silver. Wealth is in danger, it seems that my second brother Wang has been transferred this year, haha!"
Orion grinned, and he slung the bag of snowman mushrooms into the carriage curtain.
The black horse seemed to be psychic, turned his direction, flicked his hooves a few times, galloped, and continued to break west into the wind and snow.
A little moment...
There were terrifying screams from the carriage.
Then, as if the mouth had been covered, the voice was merely a dull wail of agony.
Another moment.
A lump of minced meat was thrown out of the car window, with two round pupils embedded in the minced meat, staring at the sky.
Fall into the snow, be covered, buried.
Snowman mushrooms were scattered all over the ground.
But there's no one in the car!
And who did it to Orion?
Could it be a ghost?
...
Click!
Xia Ji squeezed his right hand.
What was the essence of the Relic? He didn't know.
He didn't know why he could train bones into another substance while practicing.
But at this time, this mysterious sense of sacredness made him feel a little interesting.
Shouldn't you go to Jiutongzhou to hang out, after all, there are the most ghosts there, just to test how much this "holy bone" kills against evil ghosts.
With true qi, he threw a punch, and it flashed with platinum light.
With a mysterious aura again, he threw a punch, and there was no light.
"Well, sure enough, the true qi is your own, and the Xuan qi is a godsend... I have 17 units of Xuanqi, which is actually a similar authority, right?
In other words, I can mobilize 17 units of Xuan Qi.
But a place may be limited.
If an enemy with 170 units of Xuan Qi is in front of me, maybe I will only be able to cast a few units..."
Xia Ji fell into thought.
"Boil the blood, refine the bones!" he raised his hand and continued to exercise the humerus of his right arm.
I sighed in my heart: I really want to beat the ghost somewhere.
Hey, these days, I'm labeled as a mentor in the underworld, and it's not easy to fight a ghost.
...
Tianya Mansion, Wangxiang Mountain.
Deep in the mountain there is an extremely spectacular ancient temple.
Six or seven zhang long, five people hug the silver-white carved pillar to support an ancient temple roof.
Around this temple, there are many unique wooden houses, which is obviously a hidden village.
Strangely, the snow seemed to be unable to fall into the village, and would slide away a few hundred meters away.
in the village.
Purple and red, flowers blooming.
It's a spring scene, which is incompatible with winter.
However, in a corner of the house, it was quite miserable.
The thin woman lay on the bed coughing, her face was yellow, maybe she was not very old, but she had already suffered from some strange disease, and no matter how dull people were, they would see that she really had little time and was dying.
"Ahem," the woman coughed, then lay on the side of the bed and vomited a mouthful of blood.
When the blood reached the ground, it instantly froze into red frost.
The old man looked at Hongshuang on crutches, his face remained unchanged, and his voice was ruthless: "Ah Zhen, since you are dying, then the wild seeds you gave birth to outside should come back, right?"
The woman named Ah Zhen frowned and did not speak.
The old man's face gradually turned angry.
Ah Zhen's body trembled, she was obviously afraid of the old man: "I don't want my child to return to this cage..."
The old man snorted coldly, then seemed to hear the joke, and said with a smile: "Ah Zhen, do you think you still have a choice?"
You're dead, and she has to come back! What she should bear, you've borne for her to this day, and you're killing yourself with a double curse.
Think about how beautiful you were before, and now, there is no man to rely on for this ghost look, and no one will send you to the end. You deserve it. ”
Ah Zhen bit his lip, "I... I don't regret it, at least that kid has a freedom that I never had.
She... She lives in the world I desire, and I'm satisfied. ”
The old man ignored her, and said in a calm voice: "Call her back, otherwise, we will have to report to the mother and kill her."
You know that we have been favored by the Snow God, and our bodies have long been semi-spiritualized, and mortal swords cannot cut ghosts, nor can they slash us.
So, no matter where your wild seed is or who shelters her, we can easily take her down. ”
The thin woman hurriedly propped herself up: "Don't, don't! Don't kill her!"
The old man said lightly: "Ah Zhen, you don't have a choice, we are staying in the Snow God Temple, the Snow God Temple is transformed by the dragon's power, and the relationship between our clan and the Snow God is destined to make us unable to leave here."
Anyone with our blood, must come back here, or else... Favor becomes a curse...
A damned person like you has failed her mother, so she has suffered a double curse. ”
Ah Zhen cried loudly, crying and crying, and then wiped away her tears: "Okay, I'll let her come back... She's connected to me by blood, she..."
When the old man saw her like this, he got up directly, and the woman agreed to drink, but he didn't want to hear a word of the rest of the words!
"Well, it's long overdue. ”
With that, he opened the curtain and left.
The woman named Ah Zhen behind her burst into tears, but it was blood and tears, and before she came out, she was also frozen into red frost.
She looked at an empty crib and whispered, "Xiao Ning, it's useless... Mother I'm sorry for you. ”
...
Xia Ji clenched his fists and waved them in the cold palace.
"I don't know why, my hands have started to itch again recently, but it's only been more than a month since I last killed the Shadow Academy, is it because after changing the bones, the bones are starting to itch, and it's uncomfortable if you don't use it?"
Clenching his fist full of holy bones, Xia Ji raised the dragon with a punch and blasted into the sky.
The sky banged, and a blank was blasted out by this energy, and the energy dissipated, and the snowflakes filled it again.
"Hey, why do you want to smash people with your fists more and more? So violent, isn't there something wrong with my mood again?"
The regent threw a punch, and he was still unsatisfied, and he was puzzled at this time.
...
Night.
Harem.
Ning Mengzhen, who was sleeping, suddenly lifted the quilt.
Her eyes were still closed, but she quickly put on her clothes and pants, and then dragged her red clothes towards the palace gate.
Extremely fast, the red clothes dragged into a flame, and there was a faint white light around her, which seemed to be able to block out all prying eyes, making her move silently.
Sou!!
The red shadow quickly swept out of the palace gate, and sprang out on the deserted streets of the royal capital, to a pitch-black high wall, and the figure was vertically upward.
On the city wall, under the black umbrella, the brazier was scorching with warm light, and the soldiers on duty guarding the city vaguely saw a red shadow, and hurriedly drew their knives and turned their heads, but there was no one behind them!
When I looked back, there was still no one in front of me.
The soldier scratched his head inexplicably and cursed, "This is the weather." ”
In the distance that he couldn't see, Ning Mengzhen, who was sleepwalking, had already disappeared into the darkness, stepping on the snow without a trace, and gradually disappearing.
