Chapter 170: Iceberg Snow Lotus
At the entrance to the canyon pass, stands a proud plum tree.
Suddenly, there was a silver bell-like laughter and mockery from the tree, and I immediately looked up at the tree vigilantly, only to see the snow fox girl who had just driven away the ghost baby, hiding her face with her sleeves, standing on tiptoe, looking down at me, looking very cute.
And beside her, there was another woman in white, with an incomparably cold and beautiful face, which I was all too familiar with.
The Snow Girl actually appeared in front of me again, it turned out that she was not a phantom because of my plateau encephalopathy, but really existed in the snow-capped Kunlun Mountains.
The Snow Girl turned her head and whispered and sneered at my Snow Fox Girl, but the Girl in Pink immediately turned into a beautiful Snow Fox and stood beside the Snow Girl. Coquettishly rubbing on the snow girl's legs. It turned out that the snow fox turned out to be a pet raised by the Snow Maiden. Then, it was the Snow Maiden who saved everyone's lives.
The Snow Maiden floated down from the plum blossom tree in front of me, the plum blossom petals danced with her, she stretched out her hand to my near, and I put the plum petals in my hand, and she asked me very gently, "Is it beautiful?"
Whether it's asking Meihua or herself, I can't help but silently shout in my heart, "It's so beautiful." ”
When the Snow Girl saw me nodding, she smiled, and smiled very brightly, and the bright sunshine around her was suddenly much inferior.
The Snow Maiden blew on the plum petals in her palm, and the petals danced in the air, and then turned into a beautiful butterfly and stopped on the Snow Maiden's shoulder.
The Snow Maiden looked at me tenderly, and I saw some kind of magic flowing in her eyes, and she gently opened her lips. He whispered to me, "I want to make an exception and ask you again, and you are willing to stay." Will you stay with me forever? ”
I remember Captain Chen said that the Snow Girl would only ask the person she liked three times. I've already been asked three times, so how could Snow Girl ask me the same question again. She said that making an exception, is it because she was fascinated by my unique charm that she would pester me again and again.
When I heard the Snow Maiden's question, although my heart was beautiful, I remembered that the Snow Fox Girl claimed to have practiced for ten thousand years, but she obeyed the Snow Maiden's dispatch, so the Snow Girl in front of me. How many years has he been practicing? Could it be that as soon as the frozen Kunlun Mountain was formed, she was born? Thinking of this, a vicious chill went straight to the top of his head, and his mind, which was fascinated by the beauty of the Snow Girl, suddenly cleared up a lot, and immediately shook his head and vetoed.
When the Snow Maiden saw me shaking her head, her face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and she muttered to herself with a lonely expression: "A foolish dream inquiry has wasted my thousand years of cultivation in vain. Or tens of thousands of years of withering. What is the value of a thousand years! After all, it's a sweet dream, eternal life, so why care about the momentary joy and loss! That's it. That's it! ”
I didn't understand what the Snow Maiden meant, but when I saw her fly, I jumped onto the tall plum tree.
As a result, the white snow fox next to her. Suddenly, his scarlet eyes stared at me viciously. Then he jumped into the air. With a sharp claw, he grabbed it straight at my face. I panicked and tried to dodge. As a result, her heels were unstable, and she fell on the snow, and the Snow Girl standing on the plum tree, suddenly waved her sleeves, and the snow fox jumped into the air, and she was included in the wide sleeves, and then the Snow Girl flew towards the sun and disappeared into the bright sun.
The plum blossoms in the sky are falling, on the white snow, falling red countless times, it is very beautiful!
Looking at the trunk of the bare brown plum tree, I felt that it was a flash in the pan, as if it were a sweet dream.
I was sitting on the cold snow in a daze, suddenly a white shadow flashed in mid-air, the snow fox transformed into a girl's appearance again, stabilized her body in mid-air, a pair of beautiful eyes glared at me, my heart immediately hung again, and looked at her alertly.
The snow fox girl seemed to be very reluctant to speak: "The insect poison on your body will die if you don't understand it in seven days." On the cliff outside this valley grows an iceberg snow lotus, which can cure the poison of insects on your body. With that, he immediately tilted his face awkwardly to the side, then raised his hand and pointed to the cliff in the far side of the valley, and then disappeared.
When the Snow Fox Maiden told me about the Iceberg Snow Lotus, she was obviously very reluctant, and I thought she must have been sent by the Snow Maiden. I refused to let Snow Girl down three times and twice, but she still cared for my body, and I couldn't help but feel guilty.
But when I thought that there were only seven days left for the members of the Western Expedition, I left everything behind me and immediately ran to the sleeping crowd and woke them up one by one.
After listening to my story of meeting the Snow Maiden again, everyone at first believed it, thinking that I might have seen hallucinations again because of alpine encephalopathy. But when I said that the poison in everyone's body would kill us in seven days, all of them couldn't sit still and anxiously asked me, "What should I do?"
I told everyone that there were iceberg snow lotus growing on the cliff outside the valley, and everyone was excited, but I didn't expect to be able to pick the iceberg snow lotus here, which can cure all kinds of poisons, which is really a blessing for three lives. But thinking that icebergs and snow lotuses will grow on the cliffs, and they can't climb and pick them at all, everyone can't help but worry.
But now I can only take one step at a time, and I can't think about it at all. After enough sleep, everyone finally replenished some of their bodies, and swept away the last bit of food left in their backpacks. After a few sleepless days, we tossed the crowd out of shape, and with the large and small wounds on our bodies and tattered clothes, we were like a gang of beggars begging.
Fifth Master Zha felt that time could not be delayed, and Captain Chen also had the same opinion, and I also felt that I would do my best to pick iceberg snow lotus, and I would end the burden on everyone's bodies and hearts.
When everyone walked to the fallen plum tree, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and the fat man stumbled and just wanted to ask me something, so I interrupted him first and said: "In the treacherous and mysterious Kunlun Mountain, you must get used to seeing strange things." ”
After hearing me, everyone lowered their heads and walked through the plum tree and stepped into the canyon. When I saw the plum tree, I thought of the Snow Maiden, and when I thought of her, I felt a tightness in my chest and a heavy heart, and when I saw the rain beside me, I felt ashamed, so I didn't want to talk about anything related to the Snow Maiden.
It is also a frozen canyon, the same winding and long, as if there is no end, and the towering cliffs on both sides give people a full sense of oppression, which makes the seven members of the Western Expedition Team take every step with fear.
Slowly, the canyon became wider and wider, and the fifth master finally signaled everyone to stop and rest, and everyone sat on the ground, leaning against the cold rock wall, panting.
Tianyu kept tapping her legs with my hands, and I walked up to her, squatted on the ground and began to massage her calves. Tianyu lowered her head very shyly, and I suddenly saw that Tianyu's neck was peeling, so I asked her if it was because of the cold and dryness.
Tianyu touched his cheek, and then said to me, "It's almost time." ”
I immediately understood what she meant, it should be that the time limit for her disguise was almost up. It has been nearly a month since we stepped into the territory of Kunlun Mountain, and I didn't expect her disguise technique to be able to persist perfectly until now, I couldn't help but be a little worried that her face would rot, so I asked her, "Will it hurt the skin?" Why don't you remove it! ”
Tianyu glanced around vigilantly, then immediately shook his head and stopped talking.
I thought she was afraid that I would ask her the reason, so I avoided my eyes and remained silent, and I had to concentrate on continuing to massage her calves.
Not long after resting, Fifth Master Zha quickly began to urge everyone to go on the road, I guess he was worried that everyone would be quietly exhausted in the cold and cold alpine area.
The people of the Western Expedition stood up lazily with great reluctance, lifted the backpacks on the ground, and began to continue to move forward.
Not long after continuing to march, a wide open space appeared at the turn of the narrow stone valley. And in the open space, there is a small Taoist temple, two courtyards in the front and back, and a single temple. In front of it, there is a gateless mountain gate connected to the stone path, connected to a low wall, and there is only a single shrine in the back, and there seems to be no other buildings behind it, and it is obvious that it is only used for worshipping gods, and there is no need for a small temple in the living room. Outside the courtyard wall, verdant trees, closely connected to the cliff on the left,
There is a Taoist temple in Kunlun Mountain, which is a common thing. Since ancient times, Kunlun Mountain has been a place to cultivate immortals, worship immortals, and observe spells. Cultivators in Kunlun Mountain such a fairy environment to cultivate, return to the basics, pure heart and few desires, after a long time, will naturally gather the aura of heaven and earth in themselves, achieve immortal wind bones, prolong life. For thousands of years, there have been many ambitious people who have dreamed of cultivating here and attaining enlightenment.
The small Taoist temple surrounded by verdant trees gives people a sense of quiet and comfortable comfort, and everyone immediately stepped on the stone stairs very longingly, walked through the green and quiet forest path, passed through the mountain gate with mighty stone lions on both sides, and entered the front yard of the Taoist temple.
There is a small stone staircase path leading to the shrine in the temple temple, and there are green lawns on both sides. Everyone stopped in front of the temple to watch, the red courtyard wall, the blue glazed tiles, the blue tiles and Zhu Yong, exquisite and chic; The outer edge of the wooden is painted with colorful patterns, the colors are bright and bright, and the outer eaves are also decorated with woodcarved beasts, which are very smart and lovely, as if they are alive; Directly above the two big red doors, there is a gilded plaque with three big characters on it, "Heavenly Emperor View".
The "Heavenly Emperor" is the main god in the sky, that is, the main god of Taoism, the "Jade Emperor". But the Emperor of Heaven also has the saying of "Emperor of the Five Directions": the "Yellow Emperor" of the central emperor who is in charge of the "Houtu" of the earth god; the Oriental Emperor "Fuxi", who is in charge of the wood god "Jumang"; "Shao Hao", the Western Emperor who is in charge of the "harvest" of the golden god; the Southern Heavenly Emperor Xia God "Yan Emperor" who is in charge of the fire god "Zhurong"; The northern heavenly emperor winter god "颛顼" who is in charge of the water god "Xuanming".
There is also the tribal leader "Emperor Yu" in ancient times, who was also honored as the Emperor of Heaven in ancient Chinese mythology.
But my speculation is that the Taoist temple here should be enshrined as the "Jade Emperor". But such a Taoist temple in a single temple, if it is dedicated to the Jade Emperor, it seems a little too simple. (To be continued......)
