Chapter 33: Servants of the Ice Tomb
The figure fell to the ground, as light as four taels of cotton. Above him there was a large wax of yellow sheep that had not yet been extinguished.
Princess Jianing glanced at him and couldn't help but gasp. He was skinny and skinny, like a dried corpse, his messy hair was divided into four or five locks, the ice and snow had frozen his hair into pieces, his eyes were like small pits, and he was obviously blind, only a few green leaves on his neck were particularly conspicuous.
The thickness of the long stick in his hand was extremely irregular, and there were dry branches and forks in a few places, and the end was very thin when it touched the ground, as if it could be broken with a little force.
Zhuge Yue and Chen's shoulder blades were oozing blood, and as soon as he stood up, the thin old man attacked like lightning again.
Zhuge Yue's golden vine hand was certainly not slow, and Lichen's palm skills were also outstanding, but the two of them couldn't touch the old man at all, and when the old man rushed over, he turned around and struck them both in the chest again.
The old man knocked out the milky white Xuanli aperture, and collided with the blue and yellow Xuanli apertures of Zhuge Yue and Lichen, and two huge violent sounds sounded above, and the cave seemed to be shaken. After the impact, the shattered Xuanli aperture flew around, which was very beautiful, like light-colored fireworks.
Zhuge Yue and Lichen flew off the ground, hit the ice wall, couldn't scream, and rolled on the ground non-stop, looking extremely painful.
Princess Jianing hurriedly signaled Zifeng not to make a sound, Zifeng moved twice and finally did not conjure up a long sword, but she looked very anxious.
Zhuge Yue and Lichen struggled to stand up, and there was already red blood on their chests, but it was only bloodstains, and it didn't seem to be seriously injured.
The old man moved his neck, listened, and said, "Are there still two people here?" ”
Zifeng was just about to move, Princess Jianing covered her nose and mouth with one hand, and Zifeng's nose and mouth with the other, shaking her head to signal Zifeng not to move.
Zhuge Yue listened to the old man's question, jumped into the air, shot out two golden vine hands, and grabbed the old man from above. Lichen understood Zhuge Yue's intentions, slapped the ground with both palms, no more than three inches above the ground, and kicked out his legs at the same time, rushing towards the old man's lower plate.
The old man's face twitched, and he seemed to smile contemptuously. He didn't look at Zhuge Yue above, he just listened with his ears, and suddenly stabbed out a long stick. The long stick went straight to the wrist of the golden vine hand, and when it touched it, he danced the stick in his hand twice and pulled it into his arms. Zhuge Yue was dragged down by the golden vine's hand.
Just as Zhuge Yue was dragged down, the old man just took a step back, and the legs that were attacked by the dust kicked into the air. Then he hit Chen's belly with a stick, and he couldn't move all of a sudden. Zhuge Yue, who fell from above, happened to fall on Chen's body.
The old man took another step back and let go of Zhuge Yue and Chen. The two of them knew that this old man was a peerless master, and they also knew what Princess Jianing was observing, so they didn't want to get up and attack the old man again.
The old man knocked Zhuge Yue and Lichen to the ground five times in the blink of an eye, and the two of them had no power to fight back at all. Each time, there was blood in one area, and the two of them couldn't get up.
The old man said: "The cemetery of the helper, no one has ever broken in, who are you?" His voice was extremely thin, but powerful, as if it hit the ice wall and then folded back, and then reached the ears of Princess Jianing and the others, which was extremely clear and shook the eardrums.
Princess Jianing clapped her hands and walked out with a smile. She said: "Wonderful, wonderful, but if I tell my identity, I'm afraid you will kneel on the ground and make a big salute for me!" ”
The old man was taken aback and said angrily: "Where did the little doll come from, who dares to talk nonsense? Princess Jianing said: "I am Princess Jianing, the daughter of the Dragon Emperor of the Great Qiangong. ”
The old man hurriedly said, "What is the proof?" ”
Princess Jianing slapped a palm with her hand, and the palm hit the ice wall, and meltwater flowed down in an instant, and said, "This is a big hand, have you always seen it?" Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, right? ”
Princess Jianing's palm power has rippled to the old man's side. The old man's whole body was shocked, and he really bent down to bow down, and said: "This is indeed a big dry hand, I feel its heat, this is indeed a big dry hand, the old slave visits Princess Jianing." ”
Princess Jianing walked to the old man's side in a few steps, Zifeng did not leave an inch, ready to draw her sword at any time, ready to stab out at any time.
Princess Jianing hurriedly asked, "Who are you, you won't be the head of the Hundred Miles Ice Elder, right?" ”
The old man smiled: "I have no name or surname, just an entourage of the old master, how can I have the peerless style of the old master, but I have followed him all my life." There was a sigh and pride in his tone.
Princess Jianing said, "Old man, why are your legs so slender?" ”
The old man said: "Don't be afraid, princess, my leg is caused by the old master's practice, but the old gang leader passed away, I practiced wrongly, no one can help me heal, and gradually that's it, but it's okay, since I came here, I don't need to go out, and I don't need to heal." ”
Princess Jianing said: "You keep claiming that you are an old slave, so what is your position in the Snow Mountain Sect?" ”
The old man said: "I am just the personal servant of the head of the family, the head of the family treats me very well, trusts me very much, and I have no family, so I have been by his side, helping him to take care of the funeral, thinking that I have no home and no job to wait here for the head of the cemetery, until the day of death comes." ”
Princess Jianing nodded and said, "Do you know Mrs. Fan?" How to say, she should be beautiful and elegant when she was young......"
The old man laughed, and after stopping his laughter, he said, "What kind of lady is she, but she is just a subordinate like me." ”
Princess Jianing kept looking at the old man, but she couldn't see his expression clearly because of his strange face, and said, "She's still in the world, by the way, the Snow Mountain Sect is falling apart now, why don't you help?" ”
The old man walked a few steps, and his slender legs walked nearby, and Princess Jianing was afraid that he would fall. He felt it, and said: "The princess doesn't have to worry about me, I can walk like flying here, I am only loyal to the head of my life, the head has passed away for many years, I have nothing to do with the outside, and I no longer ask about the affairs of the Snow Mountain Sect, and there is no suitable place for me there." ”
Princess Jianing looked at Zhuge Yue and Lichen, and seeing that the two of them were not worried about their lives, she continued to ask: "Thirty-one years ago, the head of Baili Changbing received a letter, and then went out for a while, and passed away less than two years after coming back, right?" ”
The old man said: "Yes, that incident still haunts me to this day, and I can't figure it out, after all, I'm just an entourage, but unfortunately I didn't go that time, if I was more careful by his side, maybe the old master can still live to this day." ”
Princess Jianing said: "Since you are the personal entourage of the head of Baili Changbing, why didn't you go out with him thirty-one years ago?" ”
The old man sighed remorsefully, and said, "I asked to go with him, but he didn't allow it, and we are really brothers and gentlemen, and I didn't think so much, so he went alone." ”
Princess Jianing said, "Do you know who he is going to meet?" What happened then? ”
The old man said: "The helper usually always takes me with him, but this time is an exception, he travels alone, who he sees, what he does, and he doesn't say a word after he comes back, so I have been blaming myself all these years, if I can go with him, maybe he can live until now." ”
The old man was indeed emotional, his voice was a little strange, and two cloudy tears flowed from his eyes, which resembled small pits.
Princess Jianing said: "What are the last words of the old head of the Baili Changbing Sect before he died?" ”
The old man sighed and said, "He died too suddenly, and he didn't leave any last words, but he suddenly asked me to come here with him, and after coming in, I knew that he couldn't do it, that is, I don't know when or how this place was built, but I just put him in the ice ......and snow tomb according to his instructions."
Princess Jianing said, "Can you open his ice and snow tomb?" ”
The old man said: "The head of the family is a generation of geniuses, his design is strange and ingenious, so far no one can understand it, besides, there is no need to open his tomb and expose him to this desolate hole, right?" ”
Princess Jianing changed her voice and said, "Are you going to die too?" ”
The old man said, "Princess, how can you see it?" ”
Princess Jianing said, "The green leaves on your head have begun to die. ”
The old man smiled and said, "The princess is not an ordinary person, there is a successor to the Great Qiangong Palace, and the head of the family must smile when he knows this." ”
Princess Jianing saw that such a loyal person was coming to the end of her life, and she didn't know what to say. The old man said with a smile: "I can finally see the master, I want to report to him in person that the princess of the Great Qiangong has such a good performance, please leave this place quickly." ”
Princess Jianing said: "Old man, then, then don't pass it here!" ”
The old man said: "Slow, I still have to salute the princess before I die, I just ask the princess to focus on the Ten Directions Continent and the Great Qiangong, there are many things that make people helpless, but they must be done." ”
The old man really knelt down, and Princess Jianing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. The green leaves on his head were almost yellow.
Princess Jianing's heart was surging in an instant, she was full of emotion, she was ruthless, and turned her head and walked outside. Zhuge Yue and Lichen struggled with all their strength to stand up, staggering behind the princess, Zifeng looked back at the old man, and saw that he had no malicious intent, so he followed.
When the stars had fallen out of the hole, Zhuge Yue and Lichen sat on the ground. Princess Jianing put out her palms together, and the huge mystical power blew the snow into the romantic sky, and quickly buried the entrance of the cave.
Zifeng said proudly: "I fell down and smashed it so accurately, and I hit the entrance of the hundred-mile-long ice tomb at once, it was really worth the trip." ”
Lichen said: "Not necessarily, I think the old man came out to breathe just now, and was inadvertently discovered by Zhuge Diao, maybe he attracted Zhuge Diao's attention, and Zhuge Diao threw you down." ”
Zhuge Yue was a little happy, and said: "As Brother Chen said, it means that Zhuge carving is no longer different from the carving of the flesh, and my craftsmanship may have grown again." ”
Zi Feng said: "It is very likely that the snow tomb is so tightly sealed that he can't breathe, so he can only open a certain position on the top of the mountain to exchange for smooth gas in the tomb." ”
Princess Jianing rested for a while, stood up, took off Zhuge Yue's big back pocket, learned Zhuge Yue's method to ascend to the palace from the ground, and said: "It's really worth this trip, let's go back!" ”
The four of them flew up to the palace from the ground, some embarrassed, some lucky, some excited, but they were silent. Zhuge Yue manipulated the Leaving the Earth Palace to speed up and fly towards the Snow Mountain Sect.
