Butterfly Dream came silently, silently watching from the side, his face was both relieved and bitter, looking into the distance from time to time, and his eyes showed a trace of longing.

At the beginning of the morning, Tianlin completed the compulsory practice prescribed by Butterfly Dream every day, turned over from the ground, and said with a smile: "Mother, today's task has been completed, I will go to Lin Fan and his master now to explore the mystery of the Ning Xue Cave Mansion." ”

Diemeng nodded with a smile and advised: "Tenglong Valley is a magical place, and many of them hide mysteries, so you must not be careful. ”

Tianlin looked confident and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, with the experience of the Snow Shadow Cave Mansion last time, there will be no problem this time." After saying that, he jumped up, and the person flew forward like a spinning snowball.

Seeing this, Butterfly shook her head and smiled, and said to herself: "It's really the nature of a child, and I don't listen to it repeatedly." ”

……

Coming to the place where he played with Linghua, Lin Fan, Fat Man, Black Little Monkey, and Annoying People yesterday, Tianlin saw Ding Yunyan who had been waiting for a long time from afar, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

stepped forward, Tianlin called out affectionately: "Uncle Ding, morning." ”

The middle-aged man Ding Yunyan smiled calmly and replied, "It's not early, Lin Fan and they have been cultivating for a while." ”

Tianlin pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Really?" They're a lot more diligent than I am. ”

Ding Yunyan said with some frustration: "It's a pity that they don't have your talent." ”

Tianlin said with a smile: "Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and those who cultivate the Tao need to be firm in their minds. As long as they work hard, it is a hundred times stronger than my half-hearted practice. ”

Ding Yunyan smiled silently, and said later: "Okay, don't talk about this, let's go." ”

Tianlin said hello and walked side by side with Ding Yunyan.

On the way, Ding Yunyan accelerated forward intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "Tianlin, last time you went to the Snow Shadow Cave Mansion and learned the Snow Drifting Body Method, what kind of realm have you refined now?" ”

Tianlin didn't leave, and said calmly: "Didn't you see it all yesterday?" You should know better than I know what realm is. ”

Ding Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and the secret ghost was powerful, but he said: "As far as I know, the Drifting Snow Body Method is divided into nine layers, and when you practice to the highest level, you can return to the Yuan by ninety-nine, and transform into eighty-one clones in an instant. Yesterday, you were divided into five and have already cultivated to the fifth level, which is a unique precedent at your age. ”

Tianlin was slightly surprised, and said softly: "Eighty-one clones, this is the highest realm?" ”

Ding Yunyan said with a smile: "There is no highest realm in the world, only a higher realm. If you have perseverance, not to mention eighty-one doppelgangers, it is 1,800 doppelgangers, and it is not impossible. ”

Tianlin asked lightly, "Yes, how many clones can you conjure up now?" ”

Ding Yunyan smiled indifferently and said softly: "A few hundred figures are not a problem. ”

Tianlin's face was shocked, and he exclaimed, "It's amazing, hundreds of doppelgangers." ”

Ding Yunyan had a stiff smile on his face, looked at Tianlin's expression and smiled, and said secretly: "Is he really surprised, or is he sarcastic?" Why can't I read the mind of a six-year-old child? ”

At this moment, Ding Yunyan was very shocked, and while he loved talent, he also had a little more jealousy.

Perhaps, this is human nature.

Putting away his thoughts, Ding Yunyan said calmly: "This is nothing, in Tenglong Valley, there are some outstanding masters who can instantly transform thousands of doppelgangers. ”

Tianlin was fascinated when he heard this, and said to himself: "I have to work hard in the future, otherwise I will be distanced." ”

Ding Yunyan said: "Don't be afraid, with your identity and talent, it is difficult for someone of the same age in Tenglong Valley to surpass you." ”

Tianlin smiled, with a little smugness on his face, but said modestly: "Uncle Ding has won the award." In fact, in Tenglong Valley, many disciples are extraordinary, but they don't show off like me. ”

Ding Yunyan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Tianlin incomprehensibly, unable to guess the meaning of his words.

From the analysis of Tianlin's demeanor and dialogue in front of him, there is an obvious contradiction between them, what does he want to express?

Tianlin secretly paid attention to Ding Yunyan's expression, and when he saw his brows frowning slightly, he couldn't help but secretly laugh, and said in his heart: "Contradictory things, in fact, many times are slips of the tongue, but they often confuse many smart people. ”

Ding Yunyan thought for a moment, but couldn't find any reasonable explanation, so he had to put it aside and responded: "You don't need to show off your talent, people who have seen it can be recognized at a glance." Now, the Valley of the Dragons is almost here, and you will remember to listen to me later, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Tianlin responded, his eyes looked ahead, and the first thing that caught his eye was a towering iceberg, giving people a great pressure.

For this mountain, Tianlin has some understanding and knows that it is one of the four major icebergs that constitute Tenglong Valley, named West Tianzhu Peak, and together with the other three icebergs, it is called the Four Heavenly Pillars in the Southeast, Northwest and Northwest.

There are many ancient legends about these four icebergs, but Tianlin has never taken them seriously, after all, he is only six years old.

Coming to the West Tianzhu Peak, Ding Yunyan stopped, and after inspecting the nearby situation, he said to Tianlin: "You have been here a few times, and you know the rules inside. This time I promised to take you to the Snow Cave Mansion, but it was entirely my personal behavior, so you must not make a noise, otherwise you will be intercepted. ”

Tianlin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand, I won't let you suffer." ”

Seeing his promise, Ding Yunyan no longer hesitated, took his hand and flew down, jumping directly from the iceberg.

Such a move was shocking, but fortunately, Tianlin had been here several times, so although he was surprised, he was not worried.

The speed of the fall is actually not very fast.

Tianlin looked at the stone wall, only to see that the thick ice layer was coming down from top to bottom, and it continued for a distance of nearly three hundred zhang.

Later, as the two continued to fall, the ice on the stone walls gradually disappeared, revealing dark rocks, as well as some caves of various sizes, from which a cool breeze blew from time to time.

This vertical height is about 100 zhang away, and further down is the valley floor, where there is a beautiful lake with sparse aquatic plants and a few wild flowers growing nearby.

Ding Yunyan did not fall to the bottom of the valley, but paused in front of a cave, and then disappeared in a flash, and entered the cave with Tianlin.

Moving along the tunnel, Tianlin looked around curiously and asked, "Uncle Ding, how many caves are there here?" ”

Ding Yunyan said: "According to past statistics, there are more than 8,600 caves in total, of which three are suitable for living on three floors. ”

Tianlin sighed and continued to ask, "Yesterday you mentioned the eighty-one caves in Tenglong Valley, what is the difference between them and these caves?" ”

Ding Yunyan looked at him and asked, "Why did you think of asking this?" ”

Tianlin smiled: "There is no reason why children ask what they see." ”

When Ding Yunyan heard this, he sighed: "You, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a six-year-old child, and your precociousness is unacceptable. ”

Tianlin smiled and said mischievously, "Really? Then I have to learn to be a little fat man, break the casserole and ask the end, then I will be like a child. ”

Ding Yunyan's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Forget it, you're better like this." ”

Tianlin smiled and said, "Then you answer my question just now." ”

Ding Yunyan shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "The eighty-one caves I mentioned yesterday refer to the places specially selected by the Tenglong lineage, which are distributed among these thousands of caves. ”

Nodding slightly, Tianlin asked as he walked: "Listen to Xiaopang, there are many uncles and uncles living here, do they live scattered, or do they live together?" ”

Ding Yunyan said: "They live in the area to the south, and the other three parties belong to Tenglong Valley. As they spoke, the two came to a fork in the road.

Stopping, Tianlin asked, "How to go, how far is it?" ”

Ding Yunyan smiled: "Don't worry, just follow me." With that, he pulled him to the right, and after a while disappeared into the tunnel.

Meandering, circuitous.

This is the best description of the half-waisted cave in the Valley of Dragons.

Under the leadership of Ding Yunyan, Tianlin passed through seven forks all the way, passed through dozens of caves, and took a stick of incense before finally coming to the Ningxue Cave Mansion.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Tianlin did not enter immediately, but stood still for a while before slowly stepping into the cave.

At that time, Tianlin's voice echoed through the entrance of the cave. "Why don't you ask me what I've been doing outside the cave for a long time?"

Ding Yunyan, who was one step behind, shook his body, looked at Tianlin's petite back in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "You can see through what I'm thinking?" ”

Tianlin didn't look back, and said in a calm tone: "I can't see through, but I can guess." ”

When Ding Yunyan heard this, his face was bitter, and an indescribable loss surged into his heart in an instant.

A six-year-old child can easily guess his mind.

Is he too smart, or is he not self-cultivated enough?

While thinking, Ding Yunyang walked into the cave, glanced around, and then fell on Tianlin, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he didn't speak, he wanted to see what this six-year-old Tianlin, who was extremely smart, would find in it.

Looking at the cave in front of him, Tianlin looked silent, roughly estimated the situation of the Ning Xue Cave Mansion, and found that this cave was only a few zhang in size, and the stone walls on the left and right sides were dark black, which was no different from the caves elsewhere.

Only on the stone wall facing the entrance of the cave, there was a condensation of several feet of ice, which looked like a mirror from a distance, reflecting the inside of the cave.

Looking up, Tianlin looked at the top of the cave, and there was nothing peculiar, so he withdrew his gaze and asked softly, "This is the Snow Cave Mansion?" ”

Ding Yunyan stood behind him and said softly, "Yes, this is the Snow Cave of the Nine Great Caves of Tenglong Valley. ”
