Chapter 2: The Legend of the Ice Emperor

A day later, they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild branch in Ice Emperor Mountain. Why did it take only one day? In fact, you don't even have to waste a day. It took a little time for the Adventurers' Guild Headquarters to send a message to the Windfall, telling them to leave the teleportation array controlled by the Adventurers' Guild. And then...... Wind Death and the others had passed from the nearest branch to the Ice Emperor Mountain branch after a day of white walking.

Although such an oolong was made, what made the seven people feel amazing was that the people from the Adventurers' Union did not react to it, and even patiently explained the precautions for teleportation, as if they didn't care about the oolong they made.

So, with some doubts, they came to the Ice Emperor Mountain Branch.

Although it is a branch of the Ice Emperor Mountain, this branch is actually a little far from the Ice Emperor Mountain. One is because the terrain of Ice Emperor Mountain is not easy to establish a branch, and the other is that the local people believe in the Ice Emperor, and Ice Emperor Mountain is like a holy place, which is inviolable.

At this time, in the guest room of the Adventurer's Union, Wind Death and the others were talking.

"Sure enough...... It's not good to get in, there are still people guarding there now, and it depends on the situation, it's a shift......"

Moon Shadow was a little helpless.

"But the guards are all ordinary mortals, and this is not a problem, just sneak in...... Just ......"

Yemo analyzed it, and there are still problems.

"It's okay if we can't make a fuss, but judging by the union's description...... It's completely impossible, it's a territorial-minded spirit beast in there. ”

Feng Yan was also a little helpless.

"The first thing to be solved is not a question of strength, but a question of faith...... That's too much trouble, isn't it?"

Wang Ling really didn't expect that she would be stumped by a circle of mortals.

At this time, Hua Xi and Xue Ji came back, and after they came back, they both shook their heads.

"How are you investigating?"

"There are no exceptions...... During this period, no one was allowed to enter the Ice Emperor Mountain, and this was not just talking. No one is allowed to have privileges or special circumstances, even if they have no intention of running over there...... Their beliefs are more distorted than what the second sister-in-law said. ”

Xue Ji said.

"I went to their line of defense and made a profit, and they probably knew that they couldn't let the monks go, so they didn't create any offensive traps at all, but all of them were in the nature of alarms. Moreover, the environment over there is really good...... Almost every part of their line of defense can be an alarm point. ”

After speaking, Hua Xi waved his hand, he was really convinced by these people.

"Is it possible to pass through the air again?"

"The problem in the air is even greater, and they have set up a number of open-air outposts specifically for this purpose, and they basically can't get in unless they are blind. ”

"Then let Han Bing and Huang fly in and take a look...... I guess it's okay to disguise yourself as a wild spirit animal......"

Storm Death thought of a new way.

"Tell you clearly...... This won't work......"

At this time, Yueli walked in, found a random place to sit down, and then explained.

"Now they are in a bit of a crazy state, whether it is a wild spirit beast flying over or not, they will unanimously think that someone deliberately released it, and they will not listen to people's explanations...... Some of the monks who had previously been in the union were kicked out for this reason...... By the way, now we are the focus of their attention. The only good news is...... Without the slightest evidence, they wouldn't be vexatious. ”

"In other words, if there is nothing to be used as evidence, they will not bother us. ”

"Hmm...... That's it. ”

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Adventurers' Union, a group of people sat at a table and looked at each other.

"Didn't you go over there? Why did you come back so soon......? You guys...... Fail? I'll go, you can't solve it?"

"I'm annoyed when I talk about this, I just walked into the Ice Emperor Mountain, and a large group of people surrounded me, saying that I had defiled the place and made me atone for my sins. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's cleverness and a lie, he would still be pestered now......"

"This ...... What's going on?"

"Hey, don't talk about it...... Who would have thought that a group of people like us would not even be able to enter the territory of a mortal......"

"Shhh...... Looks like there's something to this mission......"

Look back at them from the wind.

"Now the situation is that you can't get in by force and stealth......"

"You can go in...... But here's the problem...... It doesn't cause any movement...... The most terrifying thing is that there is a very spiritual evil magic here, curses, which can only affect a person's luck for a few days, but if the luck is bad, any disaster may occur...... However, this thing also has a limitation, and it can only curse those who know the name...... You didn't reveal your name when you investigated, did you?"

After Yueli asked, everyone shook their heads.

"If you curse by name, you should just use a fake name, right?"

"Hmm...... Changing a pseudonym is useful, but I've heard that there is another way to curse by simply trying to figure out the appearance of the cursed. ”

"There's no way to prevent this...... In short, these days, it should be no problem for everyone not to do anything that looks weird on the surface. ”

"But what about this mission? We've got to get close there......"

"According to the current information, only two monks are trapped inside and cannot get out...... There hasn't been any fighting at the moment, so there shouldn't be any problems with the two. In addition, on this day, there was no movement in the Ice Emperor Mountain...... That is, now the situation is not going in a worse direction, and we still have time to solve it. ”

Yueli summed up the current situation.

"The question now is how do we get them to put us in...... It's a bit difficult...... By the way, Yueli, didn't you say that you went to investigate something? What about your gain? Don't say that you have been out for so long. ”

Feng Yan looked at the moon glass.

"Of course it can't be just that......"

As she spoke, Yueli took out a large bag of messy things, including iron utensils, low-grade jewelry, wood carvings, and various small handicrafts, all of which were messily placed in one bag.

After taking out these things, everyone looked at Yueli with a strange look.

"Okay, I'm not skinny, I'm down to business. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, I went to investigate what the 'Ice Emperor' was, and the result was quite surprising. ”

"Oh, is there anything unexpected?"

"Unexpectedly, even the locals don't know what the Ice Emperor is, some say it's a spirit beast, some say it's a spirit clan, and some say it's their own ancestor, but the amazing thing is that with such a chaotic belief, these people didn't quarrel.

Then, I asked why. As a result, they said that the Ice Emperor was invisible, and that he would transform into what everyone would like to see according to their wishes...... The problem is that no creature, no matter what it is, can not have a different appearance in front of a group of people at the same time, let alone the one that everyone wants to see the most. ”

"What do you mean...... Isn't this Ice Emperor a creature?"

"Hmm...... Quite possibly. ”

"That'...... Isn't it possible that someone used illusion or something? If you use illusion, you can do it relatively easily, right?"

"This has to talk about the second suspicion, that is, this Ice Emperor will only appear near the top of the Ice Emperor Mountain, if it is a creature, it will not be enough to stay there if it can use similar illusions...... Besides, if it wanted to pretend to be a ghost, it couldn't just stay there. ”

Yueli said it only in an orderly manner.

"If the gods only exist in such a few places...... They seem to be so fanatical about this Ice Emperor, and they have reached the point of being sacrosanct. ”

"This has to talk about the contribution of the Ice Emperor, really, even if I listen to it, I think it is enough to make these people have such fanatical beliefs.

The Ice Emperor has been here for almost a thousand years, and a thousand years ago it was an extremely normal village, and the Ice Emperor Mountain was just an ordinary mountain. Later, there was a hunter hunting in Ice Emperor Mountain and ran to the top of the mountain after a deer. It was at this time...... Just like other legends, something magical happened...... There was a sudden snowstorm around, and only the top of the mountain was unaffected by the blizzard.

It's all the legend here, and then there's the special feature, when the Orion saw his wife and daughter on the top of the mountain, and they said to him, 'Be safe when you return,' and then something magical happened......"

"The blizzard has stopped?"

"No, it's more amazing than that...... The man braved the snowstorm and returned home safely...... Notice that the man was a mortal. ”

"This ...... Isn't it a legend that the snow stops and a similar plot...... It's too fierce to wear back in this blizzard, isn't it?"

"But that's exactly what the legend is here...... And just after this time, the Ice Emperor began to exert his might. When the hunter returned home, he became a celebrity because of his journey through the blizzard, and his deeds were well known to everyone, but no one believed him.

Then, again, a husband and wife quarreled, and the wife ran up the hill in anger, but saw her husband, and then they had a good talk for the first time, and then a marriage that almost broke up survived. Not only that, but the pair turned out to be a negative textbook, and since then, they have become a model couple...... You say God is not magical?"

"Uh...... Does this God still take care of the house?"

"Hmm...... This god is not only in charge of family affairs, but also in handling personal relationships, fortune divination, confiding in troubles, etc., as long as it is a matter, as long as he goes to find it, he will deal with it. And after that, at least there will be some relief. ”

"This ...... This is not God, what god has so much time and still responds...... Xuanmo, she is still Xuanwu, and she doesn't care about a few of them when she listens to so many prayers every day. ”

"This has to talk about the time when this Ice Emperor appears, it only appears in September and October every year, and there is a chance to see it for a full eighty days, and the specific time is relatively random...... However, according to them, every time the Ice Emperor appears, a circle of ice will appear over there. It is also for this reason that they call this god the Ice Emperor.

Well...... Next, let's talk about its several resurrection-type contributions.

Because as long as he found it, he would manifest, and the Ice Emperor soon became a god for those people. And in order not to disturb the gods, a rule soon appeared here that you can't disturb the Ice Emperor if it's not a big thing.

And such a regulation has made the Ice Emperor's status higher and higher in their hearts, because the problems solved by the Ice Emperor at this time are all relatively serious problems.

After a few decades, a large avalanche suddenly occurred here, and this area was buried. And then...... The unthinkable happened again.

The avalanche came quickly, but there were some people who were lucky not to be buried...... Some of them came to the disaster relief, and the other part went to ask the Ice Emperor for help. At this time, the Ice Emperor did not intervene directly, as before, but only said something to them.

And then...... The rescue operation was suddenly much easier, and they quickly dug out many people who were still alive in the snow, and after a short rest, they quickly became the main force. As a result, such a disaster was completely resolved within five days.

The most amazing thing is that although the avalanche has lost some people, it has lost people who usually fly or sit on the mountain. In short, most of the people who were considered 'bullies' in the village disappeared into the avalanche. As for the other people who usually accumulate good deeds, none of them are in danger of their lives, and many old people in the village are also in danger.

Although it's not the first time I've heard of the legend of the disaster and the deletion of the population according to merit, it is the first time I've heard of it if I haven't seen the obvious spirit of the gods and can accurately delete the selection.

After this natural disaster is over, we have to talk about a man-made disaster. Once, also in October, a band of robbers came from here, took over this place, used it as their stronghold, and plundered it.

At this time, a doctor here was collecting medicine outside, and when he came back, he found out about the situation here, so he went up the mountain to ask the Ice Emperor to explain the situation here. Then, the Ice Emperor was ruthless and told him a curse method, of course not the current one, I heard that the curse method is a group curse, and the cost is relatively large.

When the doctor returned, he was caught in it without incident, and then he told the others about the method he had obtained from the Ice Emperor. After that, they secretly organized the curse campaign.

And then...... The day after the curse ended, in the early morning, a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded the place, and all the thieves were caught and executed, and those who participated in the curse were mentally unstable. ”

"Is this really a god? How can you still teach people to harm people?"

"This is the characteristic of this Ice Emperor, never directly involved, but will give a certain method, as for whether to use it or not, it all depends on consciousness. So, you can't blame everyone else. ”

"Natural and man-made disasters can be managed...... No wonder it's so fanatical. But in that case, it's going to be hard for us to get them to let us in. ”

Feng Yan was a little worried, and in this case, it was almost impossible to ask them to change their minds. But at this time, Yueli seemed confident.

"Hehe, I've almost figured it out. ”

"Oh?

"No matter how strong the god here is, it is a local god after all, and its status will never surpass that of the guardian god of the north...... And this patron saint, we've seen it. ”
