Chu Jiu didn't like Chao Duxue's reprimand, and said righteously: "I'm helping Xiaotong, he and his father and mother set off for Meizhuang today, but he appeared here alone just now." ”

Chao Duxue looked at the child behind the ninth junior high school, "Let's leave for Meizhuang today?" "But the people at the inn said that they couldn't leave for Meizhuang today, what is the matter?

"Sister, let's go!" Xiaotong was pulling on the ninth day of the first month, afraid that she would suddenly change her hexagram.

Chao Duxue took Chu Jiu's hand in time, "Slow, haven't you seen the current weather?" ”

At this time, the weather was cloudy and the wind and sand were rolling.

Seeing this weather, Chu Jiu also planned to go back to the inn first, she squatted down and said to Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, let's go back first, okay?" ”

"But my father, they ......" Xiao Tong cried for a while, he continued to plead, pointing to the small sand dune, "Just a few steps, sister, you just go there and take a look and see if my father and mother are still there?" ”

Chu Jiu glanced at Chao Duxue hesitantly, and suddenly summoned a trace of courage in his heart, pulling Xiao Tong and running towards the small sand dune.

"The ninth day of the first month." Chao Duxue didn't expect Chu Jiu to make a sudden move.

Chu Jiu came to the top of the small sand dune and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Unlike the barren sand behind him, beneath the dunes was a storm of snow blown up by the wind.

How is this possible? Chu Jiu was very surprised, so he turned around and wanted to ask the person behind him.

But at this time, Xiao Tong put away the innocent appearance just now on her face, showed a hideous expression, and directly let go of Chu Jiu's hand and pushed her down under the sand dune.

"Ahh

"The ninth day of the first month." Seeing the scene in front of him, Twilight immediately let go of the reins leading the horse and ran, he injured the culprit with a palm wind, and then slipped down the sand dune without thinking, and a few rolls hugged Chu Jiu tightly, rolling down the bottomless place with her.

Chu Jiu unconsciously fainted on the way down.

For a long time, Chu Jiu was slapped on the face, "Wake up!" The ninth day of the first month! ”

Finally, she came to her senses, and immediately, she also felt a piercing coldness.

Chu Jiu opened his eyes and found that what greeted him was a long white snow, and he couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

"How so?" She was stretching out of the hot sand just now, how could she come to this vast snowy land in a blink of an eye?

"It's just an illusion!" The twilight snow behind her spoke slowly.

As soon as Chu Jiu turned around, she saw Chao Duxue who was also blown black by the wind and snow, she remembered that she was hugged and protected by her head before she fell unconscious, presumably that person was Chao Duxue, she just wanted to say thank you, but was interrupted by Chao Duxue.

"You've come to your senses, let's go right away."

"Go? This kind of weather? "Chu Jiu questioned walking in such cold weather.

"Do you know how long you've been unconscious here?"

Chu Jiu frowned and asked, "How long?" ”

"Two hours."

Chu Jiu exclaimed, "Two hours? ”

"What do you think would be like if you stayed two hours in the snow normally? You try to touch your skin. ”

"My skin." Chu Jiu touched his face, and there was no cold feeling for a while, but there was a temperature. She asked curiously, "But I feel cold?" ”

Chao Duxue reached out and pinched a little white snow on the first nine heads, melted it with the temperature of her fingers, and chuckled, "It's just a trick, if normal people really want us to stand in the snow for an hour in such thin clothes, our faces will already know how to be pale, and our lips will turn blue, but in the two hours that I watched you unconscious, you didn't react at all, just slept peacefully, not like a person in the snow at all." He stroked Chu Jiu's palms with his hands, and the temperature of his hands was as usual.

Chu Jiu could feel the delicate warmth of the skin on their hands, and it was only when the snow fell on her skin that she became cold. "It's ......"

"You should feel it, this is the formation they are fiddling with in Meizhuang, some tricks to confuse people."

"How do you know that?"

"I once heard my master say that he came to Meizhuang when he was young, and all those who want to go to Meizhuang must first go to the Donglai Inn, where the shopkeeper will select qualified medical seekers, turn off the formation, and lead them to Meizhuang, but there will also be some medical seekers who are not recognized by the shopkeeper who are desperate, break into the formation indiscriminately, and then die." Twilight remembered what her master had told him about Meizhuang.

"Then we're breaking into the formation now!" Chu Jiu bit his lip, annoyed that he was deceived by that child, and finally fell into this formation, and even caused Chao Duxue to come in.

Chao Duxue saw the self-blame in Chu Jiu's eyes, so she comforted her, "Don't think about it so much, the most important thing now is to find a way out." ”

"But how are we going to get out, I feel like it's the same everywhere here, it's all snow." Chu Jiu felt uncomfortable and panicked.

"It's okay, trust me, we'll get out!" Twilight Snow pulled Chu Jiu's shoulders and said to her with an oath.

Chu Jiu looked at Chao Duxue's sincere eyes and nodded slightly, expressing his belief in him. "Where are we going now?"

"I have been observing this place when you were unconscious just now, and I don't know how big this formation is, but I found that the place we are in now circulates every half an hour."

"Cycle once?"

"That's right, the scenery here is the same, and every half an hour you start all over again, and the direction of the wind and the direction of the snow is exactly the same."

"It's all the same? Wouldn't it be easy for those who intrude to discover this pattern? Chu Jiu thought about how the people who set up the formation could be arranged like this.

Twilight shook her head, "Do you think a person who breaks into the formation will stay where he is?" Anyone who thinks about how to get out is constantly on the move, and the longer they stay, the more anxious they become. ”

Chu Jiu felt that he was right, "Then what are we going to do after we find the rules?" ”

Chao Duxue sat cross-legged with Chu Jiu in her hands, "Let's sit here, wait!" ”

Chu Jiu was stunned, unsure of the situation, "When will we sit here and wait?" Will the people at the inn notice that we are missing and come to us? ”

"Maybe."

"Maybe?" Chu Jiu asked in a panic, "If no one finds out about us, won't we just starve and die of thirst here?" ”

"No, I know that once the array here opens, it will take two days to stop, and then isn't it the day when the shopkeeper passes through here with the people of the inn?"

Chu Jiu couldn't believe that the way to get out of here was to wait for someone else to come to her rescue, she didn't want to sit still here, she broke free of Chao Duxue's hand and stood up, "I'll get out!" ”

Twilight knew that Chu Jiu didn't want her to be so well-behaved on the surface, but he still felt that it was better to wait than to move lightly, so he took Chu Jiu's hand and pulled Chu Jiu back into his arms in an instant.

Chu Jiu sat in Chao Duxue's arms and lifted it up with some resentment, but her forehead hit Chao Duxue's chin fiercely. "It hurts—" Chu Jiu covered his forehead and cried out in pain.

Twilight rubbed her red chin, "Can't you settle down a little?"

Chu Jiu sighed and said slowly, "It's going to take two days!" ”

"You know it's been more than half a day when you're unconscious." Chao Duxue was thinking about how to kill the remaining time, and suddenly he thought of the internal force that the Boundless Old Monster lost to Chu Jiu this morning, "Come, you sit down first, you already have the internal force of the Boundless Old Monster in your body, I will teach you how to use and improve these internal forces, and lay the foundation for your future martial arts." ”

Chu Jiu frowned, and secretly sighed, what she hated the most was practicing, in the past, her mother saw that she didn't like martial arts and didn't practice diligently, and she didn't care about her, let her be free.

Sitting cross-legged with Hatsu facing each other, Twilight Xue and Hatsujiu reminded Hatsujiu, "Close your eyes." ”

Hatsujiu did so, but she seemed to feel the cold touch of the snow falling on her face, and she shook her head to shake off the snow on her face.

Chao Duxue felt the inattentiveness of the person opposite, he opened his eyes, just in time to see Chu Jiu twitch his face, reaching out to tease the white snow on his face, he flicked Chu Jiu's face dissatisfied.

"Ahh Chu Jiu touched his face.

"Concentrate and ignore any distractions."

"Yes......" Chu Jiu glared at him after closing his eyes, silently making a lip shape, "Bad guy! ”

Chu Jiu saw the rolling of Chao Duxue's eyelids, thinking that he was going to open his eyes, so he was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes.

Time passed, and the snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, but it did not affect the two meditating people, and if you looked closely, you could see that although the snow fell on them, their complexion became more and more ruddy.

As the internal force was carried away throughout the body, Chu Jiu's heart only felt that the whole body was fluttering, like a cloud driving the mist, traveling to the sky. The cold feeling that had been dripping on her skin gradually disappeared, replaced by the warmth of her whole body, and her mind gradually cleared.

I don't know how long it took, but Chu Jiu found that he was sweating all over his body, and the clothes on his body were also wet with sweat and sticking to his wet skin. She endured the discomfort, and finally slowly opened her eyes, only to see that the morning twilight snow in front of her was also sweating profusely, and there was a source of sweat oozing out of his cheeks, head and neck, and hair roots.

Chu Jiu rudely wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck with her sleeves, and only then did she realize that the snow had long since disappeared, and everything around her had returned to its original desolate sand.

She pushes Twilight Snow and exclaims excitedly, "The snow is gone, the snow is gone!" ”

Chao Duxue was awakened by the shouts in his ears, and he opened his eyes to look at Chu Jiu, who was dancing happily, and smiled unconsciously.

Chu Jiu suddenly stopped, she looked into the distance, and found two figures lying there, she pointed to the figure, "It seems that someone is going over to take a look?" ”

"Let's go, let's see." Twilight stood up and gently patted the yellow sand off her clothes.

Seeing this, Chu Jiu thought: Are you still so particular at this time?
