Ghost Domain Gate Chapter 120.Snow Girl
"yes, you see I don't have anything to do now." I smiled at the red clothes and said, "Then let's move on, but the road ahead will be more difficult, you have to think about it." Hongyi said seriously to me.
"I figured it out, no matter how difficult it is ahead, I won't give up, let's go, this sword is not bad." I took the Italian sword and said, "By the way, you said this is your master's sword?" I suddenly remembered what she had said.
"Yes, but what the nameless woman said is not wrong, this is the last sword of the swordsmith Ou Yezi, legend has it that Ou Yezi has cast countless swords, but he is never satisfied, and finally in a cave, he refined this Italian sword." Hongyi said slowly.
"According to my master, Ou Yezi found a pile of 10,000-year-old cold iron in the Lingguang Cave of Yunwu Mountain, and he set up a furnace in this Lingguang Cave to refine the sword, and he practiced it for a whole year, and the sword was refined, but it was no different from an ordinary sword." Redcoat sighed.
"So Ou Yezi put the sword back into the furnace to refine, and after another year, seeing that the furnace fire still hadn't turned green, he knew that the sword had not yet been refined, and suddenly he remembered that the ancients had to use the sacrifice of the living people to refine the sword, so as to succeed, but in this barren mountains and valleys, what people come and go, and he can't leave......"
I suddenly interjected and asked, "Did he die himself?" Hongyi sighed: "At first, he didn't die with a sword, he only thought that after refining into a supreme blade, even if he had one arm left, he could live." ”
Thinking about it, Ou Yezi cut off his left arm and threw it into the furnace, although the fire immediately turned color, but it was not yet the realm of pure green, so he cut off his legs and threw them into the furnace, but after he cut off his legs, he suddenly woke up......
"He regrets it, doesn't he?" I asked, and Hongyi nodded, "Yes, after he cut off his legs, he can't move, even if he refines the sword, how can he take the sword out?" So in a fit of rage, he jumped into the furnace and died his sword. Hongyi said with some regret.
I asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then, how did this sword fall into the hands of your master?" ”
Hongyi replied: "After this Ou Yezi was martyred, the furnace fire was immediately green, and no one found it at that time, but every year on the day he was martyred, a very high sword light rushed out from the Lingguang Cave. ”
"This sword light was discovered by my master, and my master found the Lingguang Cave, got this sword, and found that the diamond finger gong on the stone wall was engraved with the sword refining process of Master Ou Yezi, and the name of the sword was also recorded." The red coat told me what had happened.
"I didn't expect that there was such a legend behind this Yi-shaped sword, I thought this sword was just casually refined." I couldn't help but sigh, "Do you think this kind of sword will be made casually?" Let's go. The red coat said with a white look.
I shrugged my shoulders and followed her towards the depths of the cave, which was covered with bones on both sides, all of which had no heads, apparently had been cut off by the one-eyed laughing man and had eaten his brains.
I've heard of eating pig brain flowers, the first time I've heard of eating human brain flowers, and I don't know what it's like, this cave is getting wider and wider, and there is a bed next to the one-eyed smile, it seems that no one will live in this stone bed in the future.
The inside of the cave is like an ampulla, it begins to narrow gradually, if nothing else, I am afraid that this cave is coming to an end, and sure enough, it didn't take long to walk, and a light appeared between the caves, and the temperature of the cave began to decrease.
Hongyi and I walked over one after the other, and it was snowing outside the cave, no wonder the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped before, "You said that here and the cave are not far apart, why is the temperature difference so big?" I asked, looking into Red.
"Have you ever heard of the Snow Maiden?" Red-clothed didn't answer my question, but threw a question out to me, "Snow Maiden, I've heard of it, but I only know that Snow Maiden only appears on snowy days." I nodded.
"I'm afraid that this level is the Snow Maiden here, I can't imagine that the owner of this ghost domain actually has such a means, and he can invite a monster like the Snow Maiden over." Hongyi said with some sighs.
"I'm afraid it wasn't invited, who would want to watch a broken door here for the rest of their lives." I shook my head and said, "Everyone has their own goals to pursue, and guarding the domain gate may not be unwilling. Red-clothed said and continued to walk forward.
Legend has it that as long as someone gets lost in the icy and snowy environment, they will meet the Snow Maiden who makes a living by sucking popularity, and the Snow Maiden has an unpredictable personality and will deliberately play with the inferior nature of men's fickleness and disloyalty.
On one occasion, she deliberately left a frightened human male, threatening him that if he wanted to live, he would have to keep his "promise" and abide by the laws of the Demon Realm, and not tell anyone about her existence or the encounter with her.
If the man betrays the Snow Maiden and tells the secret to others, then the betrayed Snow Maiden will definitely go to claim the man's life to warn the monster law.
However, men who want to survive will surely panic and ask for the trust of the Snow Maiden, and promise to keep their promise when they return and not tell anyone about the Snow Maiden's various behaviors.
But the evil girl Snow Girl, who likes to test men's characterization, will next disguise herself as an ordinary and virtuous human woman, deliberately find this man who made a promise to her, win the man's favor, and further marry him and give birth to a child with her.
followed by his side all his life, monitoring whether the man could keep his promises, and staying with her safe and sound for a lifetime until he grew old, but that unforgettable thrilling encounter always haunted the man's doubtful and scared heart.
Finally, one day, the man made up his mind to tell the truth about his encounter with the Snow Girl to his dearest wife, hoping that she could share his nightmares, but the man never expected that the person next to him was the nightmare he feared most in his midnight dreams.
It turns out that he has been sleeping with the enemy for a long time, breaking the "promise", and the Snow Maiden can't bear to kill the man who has a child with him, so she tells the man to treat their child well, and she turns into a pile of snow and disappears.
This is just one of the many legends about the Snow Maiden, and there is also a legend that the Snow Maiden sometimes separates men and women who love each other.
In one village, there is a pair of young people who are in love with each other. The man once met the Snow Maiden in the snowy mountains, and was afraid that he would be killed by the Snow Maiden: so he avoided looking at the Snow Maiden's face, and knelt down and begged the Snow Maiden to let him live at any cost.
The Snow Maiden smiled and said to him for a long time: If only you didn't regret it. The man bowed and bowed to the Snow Girl, expressing his willingness. The Snow Maiden held the man's face with one hand, and the ice cube with the other hand and put it into the man's eyes.
The man returned to the village safely, and the Snow Girl did not test him with the usual means. But the man no longer knows the woman he has always loved, and let the woman call again and again, but the cold eyes are the man's only and eternal response.
There is also a legend of the Snow Maiden, which says that there was a man who got lost in a snowstorm and strayed into the mountains, and then a woman appeared in front of him, and this person was the Snow Maiden.
The Snow Maiden said, "Will you exchange your most precious thing for my clothes?" The man couldn't resist the temptation of the snow girl's silver skin under the kimono, and agreed.
The man said, "Aren't you cold?" My most precious gem is this gem. The Snow Maiden shook her head and said it wasn't a gem, "What about the money?" This straw hat? Snow Girl said no, she took advantage of the time when the man was talking to come behind the man.
The Snow Maiden smiled and said, "Your most precious thing is your hot and dripping heart." "The next day, the body of a man was found on the mountain, and the snow girl's silver coat turned into a pile of snow.
More than that, the description of the Snow Maiden is that the Snow Maiden lives in the deep mountains, is similar to humans, has a stunningly beautiful appearance, and often attracts men who enter the snowy mountains to kiss him in a place where no one is around, and at the same time freezes it completely, and takes its soul to eat.
But no matter what the legend is, the Snow Maiden is depicted as a youkai who is very unfriendly to men, and I also have a trace of fantasy about the Snow Maiden here in my mind, and I don't know what kind of legend the Snow Maiden here will be the same.
Whether it's the kind that can be taken home, or the kind that comes up to change someone else's heart, or the kind that tricks someone to kiss and freezes a man to death, whatever it is, I hope she has at least a human face.
I walked with Redcoat in the snow, and I asked her, "There is no edge here, how do you know which direction the domain gate is?" "I'm different from you, you see the road with your eyes, and I feel with your heart." Hongyi pretended to be profound.
At this time, a burst of singing suddenly came out of the distant snow, this song loomed, high or low, sometimes like mountains and flowing water, sometimes like in the countryside and villages, people couldn't help but feel a little immersive.
"Looks like this gatekeeper is coming out." Hongyi suddenly made a defensive posture, looking at her movements as if she was about to attack at any time, "You mean this song is sung by the Snow Maiden?" I asked, looking into Red.
Unfortunately, Hongyi did not answer my words, but stopped and looked into the distance, the song was getting closer and closer, and a thin white figure appeared in our sight little by little, obviously the song came from her mouth.
This figure resembles a human form, and as we get closer and closer, I also take a closer look, it is a woman with long light blue hair with snow-like skin, a woman with a stunning appearance, and a white dress like snow.
If I can't think of the Snow Maiden again, then I'm too stupid, the Snow Maiden walked towards us step by step, but she didn't make any sound in the snow, but I didn't see a footprint on the snow, as if it was a snow treading without a trace in a martial arts novel.
