Chapter 31 Return to the Voyage
"Grandpa Yun, you are not mistaken, why did you bring me to this stable?" Jiang Hai looked around, this one is a stable, there are several horses tied to it, it seems that it should be a good horse.
"Shhhhhh Then he whispered: "The next thing I see is the secret of this family." Only your grandfather, your uncle, and I, now there is one more of you. Don't let the fifth person know!"
Jiang Hai knew the importance of the matter, so he could only nod and agree. The corners of his eyes are like this, Xia Yun turned around and took a horse lantern from the side. Walking to a corner of the stable, there were haystacks everywhere, and dark blue excrement was spilled all over the ground, and the sour smell mixed with the stench was really pungent.
Xia Yun opened the haystack, groped in it for a while, and suddenly touched a certain mechanism, and after a "click", the innermost haystack dispersed to both sides, revealing a narrow hole that was barely entered by one person, and it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Xia Yun lit the lantern and leaned over to climb in, Jiang Hai saw that there was sporadic light inside, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
Jiang Hai also crawled inside. As soon as he entered the hole, the haystack closed of its own accord, without a single sound or trace. I can't even see a single gap, and it's really leaky. After crawling for about 100 steps, the hole gradually increased, and there was no need to crawl, and the two of them could only barely continue to move forward one after the other. Jiang Hai looked around, stretched out his hand to touch the crystal on the wall, and the coolness of his hand quickly turned into water particles, only to realize what the light he saw before was, it was ice particles, reflecting the light.
As the two of them advanced, the cave became more and more open, and now it could accommodate several people walking side by side, but the temperature was getting lower and lower. It's a hot summer day, but I feel the temperature of late autumn, and it's a little infiltrating. If the ice cubes in front of you were just sporadic dots, now the ice cubes are attached to the stone cave wall, and the largest can reflect the entire face of the river and the sea.
What kind of place is this, look at this hole is very deep, it has been walking for so long and it has not been seen to the end, mainly ventilation, which proves that there is an outlet, and there will be air inflow, and it is not the smell of the stable. And the temperature is getting lower and lower, and I don't know what kind of situation is going to be in the depths.
"Grandpa Yun, is this place?"
"We call it the 'Ice Cave', and you see the ice inside, and it doesn't dissipate all year round, and the further you go inside, the colder it gets. Xia Yun explained
"So how deep is this hole, have you ever been in?"
"Unfathomable! I'm still a little cultivated, and I've walked in here wearing a few coats. I couldn't walk more than a thousand steps. It's all ice, and even the ground is thick like armor, and you can't pierce it with a sword. The most terrible thing is the temperature, a few coats are useless, just like naked in the winter, the cold is close to the bone marrow, I can't lift my feet, I can only walk back. ”
"And how did you find out here?"
"That's also your grandfather's unintentional move, it's because of it that there is the current Xia family," he said, pointing to a field of medicinal herbs planted on the ground on the side.
Jiang Hai took a closer look and saw that the herb only had two leaves, but it was not big, but it was delicate and delicate, like jade, faintly reflecting the color of the earth. "This is the 'Earth Spirit Grass'", Jiang Hai still knows, of course, he also understands its medicinal value, except for the magic medicine, the elixir, this is the most earth-element medicine.
"That's right, it's Tu Ling Cao, and his usefulness has also created the status of the Xia family now, not up or down, and even some things that can't be put on the table......." "Forget it, let's take your inner armor." Xia Yun stopped talking and pointed to the wooden box on the side.
Jiang Hai didn't understand why Xia Yun suddenly stopped, maybe the time hadn't come. Opening the box, a complete set of utensils inside was shining with metallic luster, and it was a little cold to reach out and touch, Jiang Hai couldn't wait to put them on one by one.
First of all, the cold of the air, and then of the coldness of metal. Just waiting for the body temperature to cover it up, but there is no imagined sense of pressure.
If you think about it carefully, in the past month, both physical function and endurance have been greatly improved, which has long exceeded the load of this inner armor. Plans can't keep up with the changes, how could I not have expected a month from now? Even if it is, whether there is such a predictive ability has to be said.
Seeing Jiang Hai's joy, Xia Yun hurriedly asked, "Is this inner armor inappropriate?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's just that I originally planned to use it to refine my body, but now I have no pressure on me, and I don't have that effect. Jiang Hai shook his head
"No pressure?" Xia Yun looked at Jiang Hai in surprise, seeing that he was not half different, knowing that he was not joking. What is the weight of the thing Xia Yun can no longer know, he personally retrieved it and put it in this hole, and the shopkeeper was not bullied. It's such a pair of inner armor, it's a little difficult to move it by yourself, and Jiang Hai doesn't feel the pressure. Looking at the people in front of you, just a month is just a blink of an eye. The little guy who used to accompany him has grown up, and his temperament has changed, if Jiang Hai was a treasure weapon that was not opened before, then now the Zhulu Academy has made him sharp, and he is full of joy in addition to surprise.
"Little one, the speed of your progress is really amazing, tell me what you've been through this month. ”
"It's all a chore, and it's very beneficial. ”
"The errand of the miscellaneous servant?" Xia Yun nodded, it was a truthful statement, but Xia Yun thought it was modesty, and recognized Jiang Hai even more. I really grew up and knew how to be introverted, not exaggerated. Then he said: "This inner armor is useless, and you can't make another one in a short time." ”
"Forget it, I don't have much time to rush back to the academy, it's better for me to wear this inner armor first than nothing. ”
"Now it's the only way, I'll find someone else to make a pair, how should this catty be done?"
"Just double this one. ”
Jiang Hai said casually, and Xia Yun was shocked to hear it. This armor is divided into wrists, knees, bracelets, armor, and leg guards. The total weight is nearly 1,000 catties, and a nine-year-old child is too light, and the number of double is 2,000 catties. Shock, relief, and exclamation all poured in. Thankfully, the previous opinion was correct, this little guy is limitless. sighs that their generation is really old, and the future belongs to them.
After some conversation, Jiang Hai prepared to leave the Xia Mansion. Outside the gate, the eagle spread its wings like a sun, which frightened the two guards into fear, waved their wings and disappeared with a 'whoosh'.
"Finally gone, look at the scared me. The informant patted himself on the chest and said, turning his head to look at the other guard: "I said sixth, you shouldn't be able to pee your pants." Haha"
The guard named Lao Liu guarded the wall, panting a little: "You still laugh at Lao Tzu, how good were you before?" ”
"Yes, I've never seen such a big eagle when it's so big, and I don't know how our young master can use it to walk, I'm afraid to look at it. ”
"Young Master Cousin is not an ordinary person, he is a class that we can't reach, just take a look. The sixth said with a glint in his eyes
"It's a shift change," said two guards, who came to change shifts. After some handover, leave.
"Alas, what are you doing over there, Sixth Brother?"
"I went to buy wine, and I was shocked, and it was too scary just now. ”
"Then you go back to the house quickly, you know the rules, just bring some snacks and food. ”
"Got it, one pound each of the brine, dried tofu and peanuts," he said, and walked to the side. It's just that he didn't go to a restaurant or shop after a few turns, but came to a hut.
After looking left and right to make sure that no one was there, he stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, but no one responded, and then he tooted three times. The door slowly opened, revealing a head and scanning the surroundings before letting him in.
In the house, the man made a pot of tea and handed him a cup, "Is there any news for you to come this time?"
"I have news to inform the adults, I wonder if the adults are here?"
"Your Excellency has long since returned to the headquarters, and it is the same for me. ”
"But......" The sixth hesitated
That man is also an elf ghost, why don't he know the thoughts of the sixth child, so he took out some silver taels from his bosom and handed it to him.
"It's a matter of course to do things for adults, how can you receive benefits," he said, but he took the silver taels into his arms. "Just a moment ago, my cousin came to the mansion and left in a hurry for some reason, accompanied by an old man in blue. Riding a giant eagle, the eagle is more than a foot or two, spreading its wings to cover the sky and the sun, and the speed is fleeting in the blink of an eye. ”
The people on the side listened with deep frowns. This is bad news, I don't even know it, and the penalty for dereliction of duty will not be less.
"I'll tell you the news of the sixth child, if you don't have anything else, you can leave, you won't be suspicious, remember to tell me immediately if there is news." ”
The sixth child didn't want to stay here longer when he got the money. Ying Cheng left and went to the restaurant to buy some food and drink.
After the sixth child walked out of the barrier, he slowly walked out of a person, saying that he was leaving, but he was quietly like a ghost, and he was also very gloomy with a black dress.
The man felt a chill behind him, and knew that the adult had arrived. Hurriedly knelt on one foot: "Adults and villains should be damned." ”
"Damn? Why is it?" the corner of the adult's mouth did not move, but the voice came out, and the cold and unusually cold made people feel like falling into an ice cave.
"Villain, I really don't know when the old man sent his grandson to the Zhulu Academy. I think it was also a month ago that Old Man Yun secretly acted in the name of the giver. The man said resignedly, already feeling the anger of the adults.
"You're not stupid, you know it was a month ago, but remember what you told me at the time?"
This really frightened the kneeling man, and he only felt a pair of invisible hands grabbing his throat, and the next moment he was about to die. I can't stop kowtowing, "The adults spare their lives, and the small ones are willing to be punished, but I just hope that the adults will follow me for many more years and spare my life."
"Okay, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped" The instant blow of his right hand did not hit the man, and a stream of black true qi directly hit the man's chest.
The man's intuitive chest seemed to be overturned, rolled a few times, stopped a zhang away, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the man hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord for not killing." ”
"My lord, next, what should the Xia family do?"
"Going to the Zhulu Academy?, and the mentor escorted by a special person, I think that little guy's status is not low," the adult thought to himself. "How to deal with it, we have been waiting for so many years, and we are not in a hurry to meet this time and a half, so that your people can settle down recently and don't provoke them. As far as I know, the Deer Academy is brutal. Hmph, I'm here to see how long his grandson can stay. ”
"As soon as I receive that kid is repatriated, I will carry out the plan," the voice fell, and the adult was nowhere to be seen. The man knew that the adults had left, and the pain in his abdomen was unbearable, so he could only take some painkillers and heal his wounds.
