Chapter 2: Dead in a Place
In February in the Tibetan Spirit Continent, the wind was cold, touching the face like a knife, and everywhere was a desolate scene of gray and white. It was difficult to land on the ground, and the strong wind blew the upper part of the palace a little.
Princess Jianing withstood the wind and snow, hugged the delicate wolf and walked down, and from time to time there was a wind and snow behind her, whirling and twisting and blowing over, and then went away again.
Nearby, the snow was white, the ice was clear and jade, Princess Jianing stretched out her arms and praised the sky: "It's so beautiful!" The snowy scenery of the Tibetan Spirit Continent is truly beyond imagination! ”
Zhuge Yue trembled as he packed up the palace and put it in his big back pocket. The delicate wolf was spreading joy on the ground, and accidentally fell into the snow and crawled out, as if it had been dyed white in an instant.
Princess Jianing made a snowball. As soon as Zhuge Yue turned around, the snowball happened to hit his face, startling him, Princess Jianing laughed, he hurriedly wiped the broken snow off his face, and shook his head helplessly.
Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue walked side by side, Zhuge Yue hugged his shoulders and said, "This place can freeze people to death!" ”
Princess Jianing said proudly: "Is it cold? Why didn't I feel cold? ”
As the two of them were walking forward, the delicate wolf ran back from the front and howled twice into the sky, the sound vibrating back and forth in a milky white world, and then refracted back.
Princess Jianing's face changed suddenly, and she said, "There is something ahead, hurry!" ”
After a few ups and downs, Princess Jianing saw a person in the snow in front of her. The man was leaning against a tree with only a large head exposed, already covered in snow, forming a large snow bag.
Zhuge Yue also saw it, ran to the man's side, and wanted to help the man, but the man was already dead, and his face had frozen purple. However, the figure of the supernormal man really startled him, more than twice as big as ordinary people.
Zhuge Yue was surprised: "This, this, how did this die?" How can there be such a big body? ”
Princess Jianing looked at the man, the head was as big as a bucket, his facial features were squeezed and deformed by the swollen flesh, and his whole body was purple-black, already swollen and stiff.
Princess Jianing thought for a moment and said, "Caused by Changbai Heavy Snow's killing. ”
Zhuge Yue suddenly changed color and said: "Changbai Chongxue is a unique secret weapon of a hundred miles of ice, as small as a finger cover, white and transparent, as thin as a cicada's wings, but extremely hard, driven by the mysterious force, it is difficult for ordinary people to see, and it is even more difficult to dodge, it is extremely feared by the people of the Ten Directions Continent, and the person who was hit was swollen all over his body and died of black blood, but this kind of secret weapon has not been seen for many years!" How did it come out here? ”
Princess Jianing said: "The prince of Zhuge who is far away in the Jianling Continent knows Changbai Chongxue so well, which shows that it is extremely powerful!" However, since the death of the head of Baili Changbing, no one has used this kind of secret weapon, and no one else can make it, so it seems that this person must have a very special relationship with the Snow Mountain Sect, and the person who was killed must also be a master, otherwise the other party would not have used this secret weapon to kill him. ”
Zhuge Yue couldn't bear to look at that person anymore and said, "Who could he be?" ”
Princess Jianing pointed to the trunk of the tree and said, "Look at that mark on the trunk!" ”
The cracked, grayish-black trunk was sunk inwards in the shape of a palm, about three inches deep, and the cuts were neat. Zhuge Yue also admired this person's skills, and said, "What a superb Xuan power!" If it weren't for the size of the tree, I'm afraid it would have been broken. ”
Princess Jianing Zhengse said: "There will be no more than seven people with such skills in today's Tibetan Spirit Continent, and I am afraid that there is only one person who is good at palm power. ”
Zhuge Yue said: "Who? ”
Princess Jianing said: "Wei Qian, one of the four great protectors of the Hundred Miles of Ice back then! ”
Zhuge Yue looked at the man again and said, "Well, in addition to his strength, his physical strength also needs to be outstanding, although his whole body is swollen, it can still be seen that he is tall and strong." ”
Princess Jianing looked up at the two eagles flying back in the distance, and said, "Wei Qian is the protector of the Snow Mountain Sect, it won't be a person when he comes out, there must be a dead person in front, go, go to the front and have a look!" ”
The cold wind suddenly blew up a snowflake, which looked like a white line from a distance. The snow gradually rose and fell, falling on Princess Jianing, and the sound of eagles in the air was desolate and powerful, and the sound reached the sky.
If they really didn't go too far, there were several dead people lying in the snow one after another, and the white snow that had blown by the wind had already covered the blood that flowed out, but it did not cover their dead eyes.
Princess Jianing looked over and said, "They are all from the Snow Mountain Sect, and the person in front must be Wei Qian." ”
Zhuge Yue said: "How can you tell that it is someone from the Snow Mountain Sect?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "This area is extremely cold, and the people of the Snow Mountain Sect all wear animal fur clothes, the difference is that they are all dressed in white sheepskin coats, and they must wear tiger skin hats on their heads, and tiger skin shoes on their feet, you see the costumes on their bodies." ”
Zhuge Yue looked at it, and it was as Princess Jianing said. Princess Jianing said: "The sheepskin is white, similar to snow, representing the regional characteristics of the Snow Mountain School, and the tiger skin symbolizes authority. ”
Zhuge Yue looked at the feet of those people, looked to the sides, and suddenly saw a swollen and deformed person, and said, "Look at that person!" ”
Princess Jianing looked over and said, "It's strange, this person's costume is so strange, it doesn't look like the costume of the people from the Tibetan Spirit Continent." ”
Zhuge Yue scratched a few times on the snow, took out a long knife, looked at it, and said, "Well, it's really not a weapon used by the people of the Tibetan Spirit Continent, you see!" ”
The blade is long and straight, the head is sharp but the arc is small, and the handle is long.
Zhuge Yue said again: "What's wrong with this person, why is he only wearing a pair of clog-soled shoes on such a cold day, and there are no uppers?" ”
Princess Jianing smiled and said, "This is a warrior from the Yingzhou Continent!" I saw the record by chance in the Tibetan Scroll Pavilion of the Great Qiangong, which was a newly discovered continent outside the Ten Directions Continent, so the record is not very detailed. ”
Zhuge Yue couldn't help but say, "The warriors of the Yingzhou Continent? How did they get here? What are you doing here? Princess Jianing said, "Go and ask him!" ”
Zhuge Yue smiled and said, "This is too strange, too incredible!" ”
Princess Jianing said: "Well, it's really weird, he must be a master, the people of the Ten Directions Continent are not familiar with the martial arts of the Yingzhou Continent, this kind of person can become a nirvana at any time, thinking about it this way, I am afraid that this time the matter is far more complicated than expected." ”
Zhuge Yue looked at the deep snow valley around him and said, "No matter what his origins are, it is not in vain to be able to die on the original Changbai heavy snow created by the hundred miles of long ice." ”
Princess Jianing said: "The biggest doubt is that Changbai Chongxue is the unique secret weapon of Baili Changbing, he has passed away for many years, and now someone reuses it, so this person must have an extraordinary relationship with Baili Changbing, this person can understand that he killed the Yingzhou warrior, but it is a big problem to kill Wei Qian." ”
Zhuge Yue smiled and said, "If this matter has something to do with Hua Chaofeng, it is not difficult to understand, she can plot against the Hidden Spirit Continent's Underworld Sect and the Earth Dragon Gang in the Pure Spirit Continent, and she can also plot against the Snow Mountain Sect in the Tibetan Spirit Continent, so if this is the Snow Mountain Sect's infighting." ”
Princess Jianing thought for a while and said, "What you said is very reasonable, and it is also very possible, but now that it is almost dark, it is better to find a place to live first." ”
About twenty miles on, a small city appeared. Despite the cold weather, people were still doing their jobs in the fog. If you don't look closely, you think that the dead and alive of the Underworld Sect are busy, and only the sporadic shouting sounds show a trace of the breath of the living.
The guise of the Changbai Inn appeared in front of her, and Princess Jianing said: "This kind of cold place, it is indeed rare to have a city of this size, how about this inn?" ”
Zhuge Yue smiled: "I don't follow the customs of the country, everything is up to you." ”
Princess Jianing also smiled and said, "Do you mean I'm vulgar?" ”
Zhuge Yue shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, don't dare, don't dare!" ”
Walking into the inn, the lights in the inn were a little dim, but it was noisy and lively. Princess Jianing found a corner in the heat of the hot pot and sat down, and the shopkeeper came over and said, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "Four hot dishes, two pots of white dry, it must be good!" ”
The shopkeeper answered, turned around and went down, and served it in a moment and set it up one by one.
Princess Jianing looked at the people in the store while eating and drinking, and suddenly found that Zhuge Yue was a little restrained, and said: "Let go of some, there is a manly look, drink, drink in a big gulp!" ”
Zhuge Yue whispered: "This wine is too strong, choking!" ”
Princess Jianing kicked Zhuge Yue under the table, Zhuge Yue drank a cup with his eyes closed, looking extremely painful, his open mouth seemed to be closed, and his eyes couldn't be opened.
Princess Jianing smiled, her eyes searched back and forth among the diners, and suddenly locked on the body of a person, Zhuge Yue followed her gaze and saw that something was wrong with that person, there was a long cut in the back of the person's ribs.
The man was facing inwards with his back to Princess Jianing, lonely and thin, eating a simple meal silently, and he was in a wheelchair.
Zhuge Yue asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "You see that the opening on his clothes is very neat, and it is long and narrow, and it must have been cut by a sharp weapon in an instant." ”
Zhuge Yue thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The sword of the warrior of the Yingzhou Continent? ”
Princess Jianing nodded, and at the same time drank a glass of Lao Baigan, ignited her body with a line of fire, closed her mouth, and said, "The rest of the wine is all for you!" ”
Zhuge Yue was stunned for a moment, simply raised his hand to take the wine jug off the stove, mouth-to-mouth, and drank it. Princess Jianing was a little about to laugh, Zhuge Yue put down the wine jug, held it hard, and said, "Thank you princess for giving wine!" ”
After the man finished eating and drinking, he said, "Little Er, prepare an upper room for me." The voice was a little cold and dull, as if he was unhappy.
The shopkeeper ran over and said, "Okay, I'll help you go upstairs." ”
The shopkeeper said that he was about to touch the man's wheelchair, but the man opened Xiao Er's arm, and Xiao Er almost fell down, and the man said, "No, you just lead the way." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the person in a daze, turned around and went upstairs, the person didn't move, but the wheelchair walked forward on its own, and when he walked to the staircase, the wheelchair walked up naturally.
Princess Jianing didn't have time to laugh at Zhuge Yue, she got up and walked upstairs with the delicate wolf in her arms, just as Xiao Er turned around and came back, she said, "Man, I want two upper rooms." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "There are only two upper rooms left, and if you come one step late, there will be no you." ”
The shop was spacious, the warmth was blowing, Princess Jianing was very satisfied, pushed open the window, made a long whistle, and the two eagles swooped down, flying in sideways, and a cold air hit the human face. She shuddered involuntarily.
Zhuge Yue sat by the lamp, a little unable to raise his head, and said to himself: "This wine is really powerful, I can't do it, I'm really drunk." ”
Princess Jianing thought for a while and said, "Sister Zifeng didn't come, if she came, I would have to mock you." ”
Zhuge Yue then remembered and said, "Why didn't the Zifeng envoy come?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "Maybe you will meet her one day, don't regret it then, go to your own room to rest." ”
Zhuge Yue stood up in a daze, staggered out, entered his room, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep without even covering the quilt.
Princess Jianing blew out the lights, but she closed her clothes and was lying down, closed her eyes slightly, and the delicate wolf jumped on the bed and curled up at the feet of Princess Jianing, looking very well-behaved and comfortable.
