Chapter 8: A Thought of Life and Death

This is destined to be an unquiet night, and in the imperial study room of the Tianli Palace, the Tianli King, who is nearly fifty years old, is exerting monstrous anger. Han Youqi knelt under His Royal Highness and did not say a word.

"Tell me, with such a good opportunity, why did you let them escape into the Tianshan Mountains? Do you know that if that thing is lost, it will bring disaster to Tianli! He slammed his palm on the imperial case, and the heavy sound made the atmosphere in the hall freeze all of a sudden, and under the king's anger, Han Youqi lowered his head, although he was guilty, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

After a long time, the atmosphere was condensed. King Tianli himself was sulking. It seemed that this was useless, and after a while, he said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, you are guarding under the Tianshan Mountain, and you are not allowed to let a person out, and you are not allowed to let a person in, that secret is better to rot in the snowy mountain, otherwise it will ......" He suddenly sighed again, and the white hair on his head was almost gray.

"By the way, go to the temple to inform the high priest and ask her to take a hexagram and see if she can turn evil into good fortune this time!" The king seemed to have thought of some savior, and hurriedly added.

Han Youqi suddenly raised his head and looked directly at King Li. The high priest of Tianli, he knows something. This Ziling High Priest was the daughter of the Zi family, the first big family in Bingcheng, she was very talented since she was a child, and she was selected as the successor of the high priest at the age of sixteen. She has a blood feud with the Tianli royal family, and I don't know if she will do her best to help this time. Han Youqi suddenly seemed to think of something, "Your Majesty, I saw the Spirit Maiden yesterday, and she said that the high priest sent her out to do something secret!" Subordinates don't dare to ask more! ”

"Xinyue girl?" King Tianli's eyes widened in surprise, he hadn't seen this little daughter of his for sixteen years, and since she was chosen to be a spirit maiden in the temple and become the successor of the priests, she had never set foot in the ice city even half a step. "Are you sure?" He looked at his subordinates suspiciously.

Han Youqi nodded and said, "The unique totem of the Tianli priest will not admit his mistakes. ”

King Tianli thought thoughtfully, waved his hand and said, "You go down first!" Don't worry about this matter for now, guard the Tianshan Mountain, and not a single mosquito is allowed to be released! ”

"Subordinates take orders!" After the words fell, Han Youqi got up and retired.

In the vast dark night of the Tianshan Mountains, there is only one place with a little halo, which looks dreamy and magical. The whole valley is like a world isolated from the vast snow-capped mountains, and it looks gorgeous and noble at all times, this is the valley of deep ice, the land of silence.

At night, everyone had slept peacefully. Mingxue quietly opened the door, bypassed the path full of Mengluo flowers, and quietly entered a room.

The room was dark, and only a little bit of light bloomed from the Mengluo flowers. Cang Lonely didn't like the smell of candles, so he specially planted a valley full of Mengluo flowers, a plant that he had worked so hard to obtain, each flower opened at night, and when it opened, it bloomed with a faint blue halo, illuminating the whole valley slightly. The brilliance is enough to illuminate, but it is not dazzling, but creates a feeling of being in a fairyland. Mingxue couldn't help but sigh again at the extreme luxury of Cang Lone, as if everything had to be done perfectly.

At this moment, she was rummaging through the cabinets in the house, she knew that Cang Silence would not be in the valley, and she took this opportunity to go out. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something different in the faint blue light, and following the faint and almost almost nonexistent light, she found an extremely delicate wooden box, which was placed on the table where Cang Silent usually reads, as if it had been opened often, so the surface was polished bright. An extremely subtle red light peeked through the cracks in the box.

Ming Xue ignored the thirty-seven twenty-one, and easily opened it, and sure enough, her Fengming flute was lying in it safely, and in the blue flute body, the red filament was getting thicker and thicker, and the little red light just now came out of there. She followed the body of the flute and saw the fiery red shark bead, which was safely embedded in the Fengming flute.

Long time gone, my friend. She took the flute, carefully closed the box and left.

It is almost impossible to cross the Tien Shan Mountains at night, not to mention the barrier set up by the silence outside the Shen Ice Valley. But Mingxue wasn't afraid of this, because she was a special person, someone who wasn't threatened by the deadly cold here, and even she didn't know why.

She strove out of the lonely courtyard and up the valley's only river. The source of that river is where the Valley of Sinking Ice originates, and it is the only place where the barrier is weakest and easiest to open. He didn't know why Cang Lin chose to live in such a place, but he had to say that Cang Lin was an unfathomable figure, otherwise he would not have enclosed such a large area within his enchantment, completely separated from the ice and snow outside, and the birds and flowers in the valley were fragrant, and it was the most unlikely to be disturbed paradise.

Thinking about it, it was impossible for her to give up her purpose, and in the blink of an eye she had reached the end of the stream. She tried to take a step forward, but a powerful force bounced her back. She tried to gather a spiritual power in the palm of her hand again, and it was a palm towards the void, but this time she was not bounced back, but the void did not change at all, and the enchantment was intact. Loneliness is worthy of loneliness, and it seems that she is not so easy to pass.

This is the edge of the Sinking Ice Valley, there is no prosperity and some desolation and decay, a little snow is still stained with weeds and no land, the further out, the deeper the snow accumulates, there is an invisible wall in the snow at one time, but it is a wall that is extremely difficult to cross.

It's just a fight, and after a long time, Mingxue seems to have made up her mind. Suddenly, she bit her finger and smeared the bright red blood flowing out on the Feng Ming flute, and for a while, the Feng Ming flute was radiant, and there seemed to be something jumping in it.

"Feng Ming, I haven't used you for a long time, this time, wish me a hand!" She suddenly jumped up in the air, playing a sonorous and powerful and majestic tune in mid-air, the stream seemed to be pulled by something, gathered into a water dragon and was pumped up, the water flow converged in mid-air, forming a huge water ball, a trace of spiritual power swept in the air, at this moment, this small area formed a huge energy field.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and the mountain shook violently.

The man walking in the snow suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Zi Deng shouted, in the pitch black, they only relied on the perception of their bodies, and just now, like an earthquake, shook heavily.

"I don't know!" Zhong Xinyue was also a little anxious. "Big Ice, are you alright?" She hurriedly checked on Ember, who had not woken up so far.

In the darkness, what they didn't see was that the snow on the mountain rushed down like a big wave, and the wind and snow became louder and louder, and finally they also heard the sound of snow crashing against each other.

"Did you hear anything?" Zidian would have known what an avalanche was like.

Zhong Xinyue's face was sluggish, "This time, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out......" she said in a low voice.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the mountain shook violently, and the snow frantically hit their faces and bodies, burying them. Zhong Xinyue hugged Li Shen tightly, they were washed around under the snow, the cold of ice and snow spread all over their bodies, their consciousness was leaving their minds little by little, and they didn't feel the slightest pain when they were occasionally scratched by the ice and heavy wounds.

In the face of such a natural disaster, they seem so small and vulnerable. Life is sometimes so fragile.

At the end of the Ice Valley, Mingxue fell on the snow as if she had collapsed, and the sound of the water balloon and the barrier was still in her ears, and she clearly saw that the barrier had been knocked out, and she forced herself out of it.

Outside the Ice Valley, she vaguely saw countless fires, it must have been the sound that alarmed the Silence, but the barrier was restored in a moment, and no one could chase it out unless the Silence came in person.

For a moment, she was a little confused, as if she was facing the vast snow-capped mountains in front of her, with no direction. "Finally, I'm free to live for myself......" she whispered. From now on, she has to find her life, maybe it's a memory, maybe it's ...... Ember ......

She suddenly retracted her thoughts, why...... I thought of him again......

The strong wind blew over, it hurt, but it was not cold, Ming Xue stood alone in the vast wind and snow, she didn't see the huge waves rolling not far ahead, she only felt that the wind and snow tonight were a little unusual. She didn't know that the blow she had just hit was enough to wipe out the people walking in the snowy mountains.

Han Youqi's feet shook slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" "He is stationed at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains tonight.

"General, for some reason, the ground seems to be shaking violently, and it is coming from the Tianshan Mountain!" Someone immediately reported it.

"Have you found out why?"

The soldier shook his head helplessly.

"It can't be that those three people have offended the gods on the Heavenly Mountain!" Someone whispered. Yes, Tianli has a legend since ancient times, saying that there is a goddess living on the Tianshan Mountain, but the goddess is short-tempered, and if someone disturbs her Qingxiu, she will be punished by the goddess. Almost all those who have entered the Tianshan Mountains cannot get out.

"It's nonsense, keep an eye on the Tianshan Mountains carefully, and don't even let a mosquito out for me!" Han Youqi was furious, at this time, his subordinates still had the leisure to talk about this, if they couldn't do it this time, they would all have to be buried together.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly cooled down, and everyone was silent, not daring to say anything more. The wind and snow on the Tianshan Mountains blow down, it should be a very beautiful dance, but now, everyone's heart is cold, not long after, disaster may come, the ice city may be gone, the people who are struggling in fate are life and death......
