Chapter 9: The Lost Temple

Another morning came, and the sun was still rising in the east, bursting out of the horizon with hope.

Early in the morning, in the Tianli Kingdom Palace, King Li ushered in an unexpected guest.

"High Priestess, how did you come down from the temple?" King Tianli saluted Ziling very respectfully. In the Tianli Kingdom, the status of the high priests is noble, they are imprisoned on the holy tower for a lifetime, and they enjoy the respect of the people of a country, including the emperor, which is also the reason why Ziling survived that year.

Ziling's face was not very good, and her expression was a little anxious, "Xin'er's girl is gone!" She said suddenly.

"Oh?" King Tianli feigned surprise.

"I didn't know that girl had such a great ability, and she actually took advantage of my retreat to escape from the temple." Ziling still doesn't believe it, such a tall tower, without her divine bird, how did this girl go down.

King Tianli snorted coldly and said angrily: "High Priest, my precious daughter has already been entrusted to you, she is a spirit girl, our future priest of Tianli, you must be responsible for this matter." ”

The high priest nodded helplessly, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Your Majesty, this time I rushed down to the tower in the hope that you would send someone to help me find the spirit girl, this matter was not in a hurry, but last night I suddenly lost contact with the spirit girl, and my contact with her would not be broken anyway if she was not dying." I say this in the hope that you can pay attention to it, Xin'er is your daughter after all. ”

This time, King Tianli was anxious, "How can this be?" I...... I immediately sent someone to find it! ”

Ziling hurriedly stopped him, "I have another thing to do this time. ”

"What could be more important than Xin'er!" King Tianli was impatient.

Ziling pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "The catastrophe is coming, I don't know if I can avoid it, Your Majesty should take care more!" When the words fell, she bowed respectfully.

"You...... What do you occupy? King Tianli suddenly shook her hand excitedly.

Ziling shook her head and said, "I don't know what it is for the time being, but the destiny chart has been opened, and the catastrophe is inevitable." ”

King Tianli was in decline, and his face suddenly seemed to be much older. He muttered, "I'll just say, that's not a good sign......"

"What's going on......"

"When my father handed over the glass to me, in addition to these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he also passed down a thing, and told me that I must take good care of it and not lose it, even if the jade seal of the country is lost, it cannot be lost. Not long ago, the Assassins were infiltrated in the palace, and they didn't take anything, but took the thing. He was annoyed, blaming himself for not protecting what his father had left behind, and letting it fall into the hands of others.

Ziling's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "That thing is the Tianshan Ancient Scroll!" Her anxious look was even worse than that of the Heavenly Glass King.

King Tianli was even more surprised, he had never mentioned this thing to anyone. "Exactly. How did the high priest know. ”

Ziling sighed and said, "The ancestor once said that the Tianli royal family has passed down a Tianshan ancient scroll from generation to generation, and the scroll records the origin of the ice capital. This volume is said to be a holy relic from the Tianshan Temple, leaving it to ensure the stability of Tianli for all generations, the peace of the country and the people, if unfortunately lost, Tianli will suffer a catastrophe. ”

"That's exactly what my father told me about it." King Tianli was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, this thing must be recovered as soon as possible, if there is anything you need help with, just ask, I will not stand idly by when it comes to the survival of Tianli." Ziling's words are authentic.

"You...... Your parents and brothers' ......," King Tianli asked tentatively.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Ziling looked at King Tianli as if she was going to kill someone, why did she mention it if she wanted to endure it for so many years. "Your Majesty, I will not forget that incident. However, I will not live up to my master's entrustment. Tianli is everyone's Tianli, not your royal. She glanced at the Heavenly Glass King and walked away.

On the Tianshan Mountain, Mingxue trekked alone in the vast wind and snow, just overnight, the Tianshan Mountain seemed to be much flatter, and the crystal snowflakes seemed to be renovated, extraordinarily white, extraordinarily beautiful. It's just that what she doesn't know is that she doesn't know how many lives are buried under such holy white. She was trekking alone in the snow, and as long as she crossed the last barrier in the distance, she was out of danger, but this seemingly short distance was at least two or three days away for a person like her, who had little spiritual power left.

Under this vast ice and snow, a pair of sharp eyes suddenly opened. Where is this? That was the first question Ember had when he woke up. Because there was not the slightest light in front of me, it was as dark as hell.

He moved his arms, and a heart-piercing pain came, and there seemed to be something heavy on his body, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe. He tried to push something away from his body, but when he touched it, he felt a cold, soft touch. Is that...... A ...... alone

As if he had thought of something, he hurriedly sat up, touched the clothes and hair accessories of the person on his body, it was clearly Zhong Xinyue's girl, she was unconscious at the moment, she probed the pulse, the person was still alive, but a little weak.

Zhong Xinyue ...... Zhong Xinyue ...... "He tried to wake her up.

“…… Nun...... Aunt ......" In a daze, Zhong Xinyue muttered. Feeling some strong shaking in her body, she suddenly came back to her senses. "Where is this?" She asked, surprised.

"I don't know." Ember replied truthfully.

"If I'm not mistaken, we should be buried under the Tianshan Mountain!" Last night, an avalanche buried all three of them in the snow. "By the way, what about the Purple Electric Girl?" In the darkness, she fumbled around. Until he touched a soft body, he was first instinctively startled, and then slowly leaned over. "Hey, Zidian?" She poked tentatively, but when she didn't respond, she said loudly: "You still don't want your things, if you die, I'll burn that thing, anyway, it's useless for me to keep it." As the words fell, she pulled into her arms, and it seemed that something had really been taken out in the dark, but she couldn't see clearly.

"Are you awake? If I don't wake up, I'll really burn! Her lips twitched, and she uttered a spell, and suddenly a flash of fire sprang from her fingertips, gently approaching what she was holding in her left hand.

"I'm burning!" She laughs.

A pair of cold hands suddenly grabbed her in the darkness, and with an "ah" sound, the fire suddenly went out.

Li Ember chuckled lightly and said, "You provoked her yourself, and you're scared again?" ”

"Hmph, what am I afraid of, it's just that her grasp was too sudden...... "Well, that's it, she's not timid." Eh, by the way, are you going to laugh at this ice cube too? I'll see what you look like when you laugh......" She summoned a cluster of flames again, approaching Ember.

"Ah......h Zhong Xinyue directly covered her eyes with her hands, unable to believe what she saw in front of her.

Li Yan's hand touched his cheek with some trembling, and his mask was lost somehow......

Is this face really that scary? Zhong Xinyue was scared like this, so what about her...... He gently stroked the hard, rough skin of the left side of his face with his hand, which he still couldn't believe - it was his face.

Why...... Why is this happening...... Even if I found Ah Ming, I would only scare her away.

In an instant, a furious aura spread through the air, and another emotion of despair and anguish emanated from the powerful man.

Suddenly, he stood up and ran desperately forward in the darkness, he wanted to escape, to escape from these people in front of him, to escape from the truth he did not want to accept......

"Ming, I'...... Do I still have a chance......" he said in a low voice, and at last he seemed to feel that it was a luxury, and his fist with all his strength slammed into the ice in front of him, and the small space shook heavily, and a wall of ice fell in front of him.

There was a faint light in the snow behind the ice wall.

"What's going on?" Zhong Xinyue, who didn't know why, walked over with Zidian, who had just woken up, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Yan's face.

Li Shen didn't seem to expect this situation in front of him, and he looked at the faint light in a little stunned, which came from under a thick layer of snow, and was ice blue after the refraction of the ice and snow.

"There might be something under the snow, dig it out and see!" Li Shen came back to his senses and said calmly.

"What if...... What if it's a skeleton? This snow bottom ...... I don't know how many people are buried? Zhong Xinyue's tone was timid, now she was not only afraid of the dark world here, but also the man in front of her. It is no exaggeration to say that his face is the embodiment of angels and demons.

Ember ignored her, stepped over the remains of the ice wall, and picked up the snow with his sword. As the snow and ice were dug up more and more, the light grew brighter and brighter.

"Bang", as if digging to the bottom, the light was already very bright at this moment, and Li Yan's face was clearly illuminated, Zhong Xinyue secretly raised his head, glanced at it, and then immediately lowered it again. The left side of his face was covered with cyan scales, which happened to be the bridge of his nose, dividing his face into two parts, one half of which was beautiful and the other half was extremely ugly. When he wore a mask before, Zhong Xinyue had fantasized countless times about how peerless the face under the mask should be, but when he really waited for this day, he found that it was far from what he imagined, maybe her reaction was still light, because it was really ...... It's really hard to accept.

"Come and see, what is this?" A thick patch of snow was swept away, revealing a smooth patch of ice underneath, which was ground flat and not like pure nature.

Zhong Xinyue walked over with her scalp in mind, and at first glance, she was startled, and she swore that today was the day she was most frightened. "Ice ...... Ice Jade ......" she trembled, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. However, the glimmer of light in her eyes made her dare not believe all this.

"The lost Tianshan Holy Temple, do you want her to find the way?" She murmured softly, inaudible.
