Chapter 144: Water Spirit
Night came as scheduled.
At the moment when the night fell, as if it had been accurately calculated, between heaven and earth, a violent wind suddenly rose, and the sound was like a ghost crying wolf, making people's scalps tingle and frightened.
At the same time, the snow flakes like ice blades appeared as if out of thin air, **** down. Chu Jingtian even clearly heard the crisp sound of snow flakes falling on the green bricks.
In the stone house, the temperature was already low with the appearance of the strong wind, and even the charcoal fire became uncertain under this low temperature, and seemed to be about to be extinguished.
A violent chill enveloped him, making De Chu shiver, and his complexion couldn't help but change.
He is still like this in the stone house, if he is outside the stone house, it can be imagined.
In this weather, if the martial artist is exposed, I am afraid that if he can't hold on for a moment, his true qi will be exhausted, and once it is exhausted, in the face of the cold wind and snow flakes like knives, I am afraid that his life will not be long.
Turning over his hand, he took out the leather coat and boots he had bought a long time ago and changed them on, and made the brazier a little more vigorous, and Chu Jingtian felt a little more comfortable.
However, even so, he only felt that his body was warmer closer to the brazier, and he still felt a little chilly away from the brazier. The temperature in this stone house is as low as you can imagine.
"Master, I won't leave tomorrow. Mo Zikun also quickly put on his leather coat and boots and walked to the brazier.
After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to stand on Chu Jingtian's side.
In fact, intellectually, he really wanted to leave early tomorrow morning, but maybe it was the moment of the avalanche today, Chu Jingtian's reaction beyond ordinary people left a deep impression on him, and the thoughts left in his heart were extremely strong. So, after several weighing struggles, he made this decision.
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian glanced at Mo Zikun with some surprise.
There are two kinds of martial artists who enter the Ice Secret Realm, sect warriors and non-sect warriors.
The difference between the two is that the disciples of the sect generally gather together in a group, while the disciples of the non-sect are all fighting on their own.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, non-sect disciples are reluctant to provoke sect disciples, because one person will definitely not be able to compete with a group of people.
Mo Zikun is a non-sect disciple, and it is normal to be afraid of Tiangangmen, so even if he leaves, Chu Jingtian will not feel anything about him.
But now, Mo Zikun chose not to leave, which was beyond his expectations.
Perhaps, this has something to do with his identity as a rune master, but even so, it takes great courage for Mo Zikun to make such a decision.
Nodding at Mo Zikun, Chu Jingtian said lightly: "In the future, no matter whether there is anyone or not, there is no need to call me master." ”
Hearing this, Mo Zikun nodded with a smile. He knew that Chu Jingtian could say such a thing, which was undoubtedly an expression of recognition for him.
Of course, this recognition only makes the relationship between the two slightly better than that of ordinary strangers, and it does not mean anything.
Chu Jingtian didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and concentrated, ready to cultivate.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the fire essence hidden in his dantian and had not been touched for a long time suddenly moved.
It was a restlessness, as if there was something that made the fire spirit a little uneasy.
"Could it be that the temperature here is too low and the fire spirit feels uncomfortable?" Chu Jingtian felt a little strange, and his spiritual power immediately probed into the dantian and comforted the fire spirit.
Under his reassurance, the fire spirit gradually subsided.
Suddenly!
"Roar!"
The void seemed to shake, and a roar of tyranny and mania pierced through the whistling wind and came from afar.
The moment he heard this roar, the fire spirit jumped up violently in Chu Jingtian's body, and it felt as if the fire spirit was about to rush out of his body to fight to the death with the roaring beast.
"Master, the fire spirit is like this, it should have met an old enemy. In her mind, the voice of a dream suddenly sounded, and she also discovered the abnormality of the fire spirit.
"Rival, how can a fire spirit have a rival?" Chu Jingtian asked in his heart while calming the fire spirit.
"Since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible, if I guessed correctly, there should be a water spirit in the body of the fierce beast just now, and the fire spirit felt the existence of the water spirit, so it was so restless. Rumeng said.
"Water Spirit?" Chu was shocked.
The seven elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder all have their elemental spirits. The fire spirit is the spirit of the fire element, and the water spirit is naturally the spirit of the water element.
The conditions for the formation of elemental spirits are extremely harsh, and it takes the elements to go through a series of mysterious coincidences before they can be formed, so the elemental spirits between heaven and earth are extremely rare.
Chu Jingtian didn't expect that he would meet the water spirit here.
But when I think about it, this ice secret realm is full of ice and snow, and ice and snow come from water, so it is not surprising that water spirits can be born here.
"Yes, it's almost certainly the Water Spirit, otherwise the Fire Spirit wouldn't be. After a slight pause, Rumeng's tone was with a hint of excitement, and he said: "Master, the water spirit is the same as the fire spirit, they are both encounterable but unattainable, you must find a way to catch the water spirit and let it recognize you as the master, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation in the future." ”
"But, didn't you just say that the water spirit and the fire spirit are old enemies, if you catch it, they won't pinch it, right?" Chu Jingtian asked with some concern.
"Hehe, don't worry, master, as long as they all recognize you as the master, they won't fight. Rumeng said with a grin.
"That's good. Chu Jingtian nodded.
In his cultivation at this stage, whether it is a fire spirit or a water spirit, it will not play a big role, but when his strength reaches a certain level, the role they play will be crucial, and it can even affect his martial arts achievements.
Therefore, even if he didn't say anything about it, he wouldn't let the water spirit he had encountered so hard run away.
It's just that, listening to the sound of the wind and snow outside the stone house, which was like a ghost crying wolf, he shook his head helplessly, if he rushed out in this case, he would be sent to death at all, and he could only go out to check tomorrow.
And the fire spirit never went out, and in the void, the roar of the fierce beast that made people's hearts tremble came a few more times, and then it also fell silent.
It seems that the fierce beast is here to provoke the fire spirit, but it is afraid of the many warriors in the gathering point, so it does not dare to rush in.
Without the stimulation of the roar, the fire essence in Chu Jingtian's body gradually calmed down and returned to its previous state.
"What a terrible beast!" Hearing that the roar of the beast no longer sounded, Mo Zikun said with some trepidation.
"Well, but it's gone, let's cultivate in peace!" Chu Jingtian whispered, and then closed his eyes.
Mo Zikun saw Chu Jingtian close his eyes, and he also began to cultivate, the concentration of aura here far exceeded that of the outside world, and he was not willing to waste time.
In the stone house, only the sound of wind and ice and snow remained.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, when the first ray of light fell on the earth, it was as if an invisible hand had pressed a switch somewhere, and the howling wind stopped instantly, and the snow and ice that fell down **** were gone.
In the stone house, feeling the temperature gradually rising somewhat, Chu Jingtian opened his eyes, and then got up directly and pushed open the bluestone gate of the stone house.
The cold air poured into the stone house, which lifted Dechu's spirits.
After a night of violent snowstorms, the environment outside the stone house has not changed much, and it still looks like it was yesterday, and it seems that only the ice and snow on the dilapidated building are a little thicker, proving everything last night.
Under the corner of the wall not far from the house, the three corpses thrown out by Chu Jingtian yesterday had turned into popsicles, but the three people at this time were already unrecognizable.
None of the clothes and skin on the bodies of the three of them were intact, and the dense wounds were cut by the snowflakes, and some of the wounds were deep to the bone, which showed how terrifying the power of the ice and snow was last night!
After taking out some food to heat it up and filling his stomach, Chu Jingtian said something to Mo Zikun, then left the stone house alone and walked towards the outside of the gathering point.
According to Rumeng, the water spirit is likely to be hidden in the body of the beast last night, so he plans to leave the gathering point to investigate and see if he can find the beast.
It's just that this action is too dangerous, so he didn't dare to let Mo Zikun follow. In case of danger, he can still enter the Heavenly Jealousy Tower to escape, but Mo Zikun cannot.
As for the people of Tiangangmen, don't worry about it for the time being.
The three corpses had already been thrown into the ruins of a building by him, and it should take a little time for the people of Tiangangmen to find out that the three had been killed.
According to the direction of the wind last night, Chu Jingtian judged the direction in which the beast's roar came from, which was exactly the opposite direction from the direction they entered the gathering point yesterday.
Therefore, after going out of the city in this direction, Chu Jingtian saw a completely different environment from yesterday.
It was an endless plain of ice and snow, and the snow-white ground stretched all the way to the horizon, and as far as he could see, there was only a snow-white patch.
Chu Jingtian's brows furrowed slightly.
With such terrain, he couldn't tell where those fierce beasts would hide, and in this environment, if he was too far away from the gathering point, it was easy to get lost.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Jingtianyun got up and hurried away, he planned to look for it in the near distance to see if he could find some clues.
And after running a certain distance, Chu Jingtian sent down, this plain is actually not smooth.
On this snow-covered plain, every once in a while, there would be some huge cracks, but because the cracks were also white, he had not seen them before.
Chu Jingtian deliberately found a wide crack and looked down, as far as he could see, all he saw was the cracked ice, and as for the depth of the crack, he couldn't see the bottom.
Breaking off a piece of ice the size of a human head from the mouth of the crack, Chu Jingtian casually threw it under the crack, he wanted to see how deep the crack was.
"Ding-ding-bell......"
As the ice falls, it seems to be hitting the ice on both sides of the crack.
After a few moments, the sound was gone, and it was unknown whether it had fallen to the bottom or the ice had been shattered. However, in either case, it is enough to show that the depth of these cracks has reached an alarming level.
After waiting for a while, he didn't hear any movement, Chu Jingtian was about to leave, but at the moment he turned around.
"Roaring ......"
The furious beast roar suddenly sounded, but Chu Jingtian's face changed suddenly, because the beast roar was not a sound, but a group of ......
