Xueleng Peak is a very strange place, this peak does not look much different from the others, except that it is taller, but after entering Xueleng Peak, you will find that it is too cold, so cold that it cannot explain where this cold comes from.

"Keep your eyes on, don't look around! Didn't I tell you that the ancestors are all in this cave, be respectful! ”

The old monster who came first was wearing a thick cotton coat, and a layer of hoarfrost on his stubble was trembling, and he looked at the crystal palace-like ice cave with curiosity, but his voice was not as loud as it was in Muju.

The old monster hadn't explained any taboos to her before she came to her to be sure, thinking that she was probably confusing her with the Qinglian King again, so she simply didn't pursue it, and retracted her gaze to concentrate on the road, but found that she was puzzled.

"Furukawa, aren't you cold?" Relying on the practice of internal strength for a period of time in Qixian Mountain, he can breathe a little to resist the severe cold, but he still can't avoid the cold limbs; Looking at Furukawa, who was also dressed in single clothes, his face was ruddy and his steps were as usual, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this weak young man.

"It's not cold, it's not as cold as you say, is it?" Furukawa was also at a loss, "Maybe it's because I'm born with a body heat that I can't feel, anyway, I'm always not very sensitive to extreme heat and cold." ”

You may be able to survive the cold if you are born hot, but the heat will be even more unbearable. Like Guhe, who is not invaded by cold and heat, it seems to have a very high internal force to protect the body, but it does not match his thin body and weak temperament, which is really incredible.

Or should I say that all the people and things on the demon mountain are bizarre and mysterious, making people unpredictable and surprised.

The old monster turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the two, and quickly turned its two short legs and feet upside down, speeding through the labyrinthine ice cave, and soon led the two behind him into a small but delicate ice cave.

"Here, you can only get the ghost python strain after passing a level first." The old monster pointed with a sullen voice, and the two things in the center of the ice cave broke into the eyes of Yan Li.

It was a long transparent cube of ice with smooth corners and corners, about half a foot larger than an adult, and the cold air swirled silently. Yan Liwu walked closer and looked more closely, and suddenly found that there were two people frozen in the ice, one was an adult man in white clothes and a more delicate appearance than a woman, and the other was a young man in black.

"This is ......" Yan Liwu was shocked by the two ice coffins, and looked at them intently for a long time.

"The ancestor of the ancestors, the other one is not very clear, anyway, it is a very important person." The old monster waved his hand and forced Yan Li to take a half step back, and there was a bit of pride in his tone, "They are all alive!" This ice coffin was transported from the Valley of the Poison King to the Demon Mountain more than 200 years ago without any damage. The ancestor said that when there is someone in this world who has the ability to save them, our Poison King Valley will be able to shine in the world again. ”

I haven't figured out what Demon Mountain is yet, and this is a strange Poison King Valley, which has nothing to do with asking for medicine, right?

Yan Li listened patiently, and it was not until finally that the old monster explained the meaning of bringing her here.

"The ancestors said that women are ungrateful things, and if it weren't for women, the ancestors would not have ended up like this." The old monster was short in stature, standing up straight no higher than the top of the ice coffin, and this peculiar shape made him very funny even when he was serious. Sharp eyes swept over the smooth ice under his feet, and the old monster tapped his toes five steps away from the ice coffin, and looked up at Yan Liwu: "The ancestors hated women the most, so one of the rules set was that if it was a woman who came to ask for medicine, he would add one more level of trial - kneel down and kowtow." ”

Yan Li blinked his eyes, and it took a long time to react, dumbfounded and at a loss.

She understands that it is a very common rule to bow down in this era, but it is limited to the high-ranking and powerful people and elders, she has only knelt to Emperor Wen Jingyuan in the palace, and has never grovelled at other times, how can she go to Demon Mountain to bow down to two half-dead people? Even if that ancestor hated women, it would be too strange to make such a rule, right?

The old monster saw the hesitation of Yan Li, snorted, and sat on the ice platform next to him with a dexterous jump: "Kneel or not, it's up to you, every time you hesitate so much, it's a waste of Lao Tzu's time." ”

Yan Liwu took a deep breath.

Yes, she is not the only one who came here, didn't the Qinglian King also go through these trials and successfully take the herbs away? The dirty mud ditch has been waded through, and in the blink of an eye, the deadly aya vine slope and the miasma forest have also been passed, is it possible to come here after all the hardships and hesitate to move forward for this little thing?

For the sake of Wen Moshu, she can go to the ends of the world and fall into the Yellow Spring, a little bit of face and self-proclaimed dignity, what can she do if she gives up some?

The knees that slowly stuck to the ice were exposed to repeated chills, and his lips hung down his head, and before his forehead touched the ground, the old monster added in a strange way: "Don't stop when you kneel, knock until the ancestor agrees to give you alms." ”

The words were worried, and the time was like a big fight.

"How can someone who has been frozen in ice for more than two hundred years-"

"Girl, do what the old monster says, there is always a reason." Shaking his head and about to leave his voice and question, Furukawa handed over an encouraging look, "If it's a girl, you will definitely pass this level." ”

“…… Understood, I'm knocking. After thinking about it for a while, he resettled down.

Furukawa has a special temperament, although he is the kind of young man who is weak and seems to be powerless, but Yan Liwu will always find a feeling of warmth and ink from him, the kind of magical charm that can make her settle down with an understatement - in fact, if you think about it calmly, you can understand that this level must have its deep meaning, if you really have to kneel the dead to live to pass the level, then it is impossible for the Qinglian King to achieve his goal and return with a full load.

The snow cold peak is covered with snow in the middle of the mountain, covered in silver; The ice cave is frozen everywhere, as bright as a mirror, and even the mountain walls and the ground are condensed by hard frost, which is hard and cold. Yan Liwu couldn't remember how long she knelt and how many kowtows, and when the pain in her forehead began to become numb, her consciousness gradually entered a blurred realm, and in a trance, there was a ethereal call in her ears, like Wen Moshu, and like Wen Moqing.

But she understood that no one could be on this cold peak far away from the hustle and bustle, and she was just alone.

※※※

"Chunqiu, tell me honestly, where did Chu Ci and Liwu go? Did they go to Demon Mountain? ”

The winter sun is shining all over the courtyard, and the warmth is just right, but Wen Moshu's face is even more pale and gloomy than before, and there is a faint anger in his peaceful and gentle eyes.

"I can't say it, I promised my master." Chunqiu lowered his head and stubbornly kept his promise.

Wen Mo sneered angrily: "Chunqiu, Chunqiu, what are you asking me to say about you?" If you are loyal to Chu Ci, you should stop him, do you understand? What kind of place is Demon Mountain, how many people have gone and never returned, as an attendant, are you going to let him come? ”

"Isn't it also for His Highness? His Royal Highness's illness is not good, there is always a pimple in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that His Highness's illness is getting worse and worse, he wouldn't have ventured to go to any demon mountain! Imagining the rumored demon mountain like a hell cave, the anger in Chunqiu's chest was heavier than Wen Moshu's, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot, "Your Highness doesn't cherish yourself, and in the end, you have to run around for medicine, and you don't say anything about your hard work, but Your Highness is full of complaints, why don't you want to think about who you are for!" ”

"Spring and Autumn, say a few words! Go back to your room and stay there! Seeing that Wen Mo was trembling with anger, Yun Jiuzhong hurriedly drank low, Chunqiu shook his sleeves angrily, and left with a reluctant face.

Yun Jiuzhong didn't know about Chu Ci and Yan going to Monan in advance, just like Wen Moshu, he also began to suspect it after he realized that Chunqiu's expression was wrong, and after going around in circles with Wen Moshu on this day to get the exact news from Chunqiu's mouth, Yun Jiuzhong finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

"I will immediately send someone to Mo Nan and do everything possible to bring back Master Chu and Miss Yan."

"People have been gone for more than half a month, what can you chase at this time? What's more, General Yun's current identity is not suitable for trespassing, and I don't want to involve more people. Wen Moshu coughed a few times, becoming more and more weak.

Yun Jiuzhong was in a hurry to say all nonsense, and after thinking about it, he also felt ridiculous, first, as the general of the Xuanwu Battalion, he only had the right to command the troops and not the right to transfer troops, what could he do with only a few dozen personal soldiers? Second, a long time has passed, Chu Ci and Yan Liwu must have arrived at Mo Nan Demon Mountain at this time, even if he rushed there in person, all he could do was to wait outside the mountain, and in terms of the overall situation, it was possible to expose his own power tendencies.

Yun Jiu sighed in a deep voice: "It's always hidden like this, in the end, I can only watch, and I can't help anything!" ”

"Not necessarily." Wen Moshu gently wiped away a wisp of blood from the corner of his lips, and his tone suddenly calmed, "It's useless to be in a hurry now, it's better to find another way out." General Yun should know very well that Chu Ci is the advisor I rely on the most, and Li Wu is a very important person for me, and my illness has always been Chu Ci trying his best to delay his life, if they can't come back, I have only one way to die, so ......"

Yun Jiuzhong smelled a certain smell of danger in Wen Moshu's words, his thick eyebrows sank, and he grabbed Wen Moshu's wrist: "Your Highness, don't think of any crazy methods, before the concubine died, I swore a heavy oath that I would never let Your Highness fall into danger, but this promise must be kept to the end!" ”

"How is General Yun going to hold on? If I don't go to Mo Nan and Chu Ci can't come back, even if I stay in the Anyi Palace, I can only wait for death with my eyes open, not to mention that this palace is already unstable, and it may be more dangerous than the demon mountain. ”

At this point, Wen Moshu's meaning has been made clear, he wants to go to Monan.

On weekdays, Wen Moshu is the most easy-going and generous of all the princes, he seems to be gentle and very easy to speak, and only these people who are closest to him and know him best know that in fact, the stubbornness and stubbornness in Wen Moshu's bones are not inferior to anyone, and what he wants to do will never be dissuaded by anyone except Chu Ci.

Mo Nan is the junction of many countries, and the Demon Mountain is a mysterious place comparable to the Demon Cave in the legend, Yun Jiuzhong is worried about how to stop Wen Moshu from letting him toss and run on an adventure, just at this time, there was a shrill shout from outside the courtyard, and it was actually Zhao Gonggong who came with a few guards to pass the order.

"The emperor has an order, the border is uncertain in the recent days, the bandits are in chaos, and the morale of the generals and soldiers of our court and the central government guarding the border is low. In order to drum up the three armies and resist the strong enemy, the second prince took command to go to the area of Mobei to defend the army, in order to show my determination to protect the territory. Departure must be made within three days of the date without delay. ”
