Chapter 10: The Ice Palace
Slowly approaching, Lin Yan began to see his true face: it was a clear pool, and the slightest hot air coming out of the surface of the pool turned into mist when it was cold, ethereal in the sky, like a fairyland; The overflowing pond water creates ditches in the ice, but it is condensed by the ice. Around the perimeter of the ditch, vegetation grows tenaciously.
The tranquil and pure environment did not let Lin Yan get lost, he approached slowly, and at the same time released his divine sense to be on guard. Instead of going straight to Qingchi, Lin Yan walked to a ditch, bent down and picked up the spring water to moisten his lips first, made sure that there was nothing to do, picked it up and drank some, untied the water bladder and filled it, cleaned it to relieve fatigue, and retreated five zhang after finishing his work, looking for a clean place to meditate and rest.
There is an iceberg twenty miles away from Qingchi, and an ice chamber has been dug out on the iceberg, and there are two people sitting in the ice room on the top floor: one is dressed in white and light yarn, with a light body, a white scarf on his face, and green silk like a waterfall; An old man in a gray shirt and silver thread.
The woman in white exhaled like a blue and said: "Elder Xuan, my Ice Palace has been peerless for a long time, except for you who still remember the old love and will come here, I haven't seen a figure for decades." I don't know why this man suddenly appeared here, and judging by the way he came from, he still came from an extremely cold place. Can you always see where it came from? ”
The gray-shirted old man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, look at its cultivation is not in the early stage of the Martial God, it will not cause danger to you." ”
"But if he can come from a place of extreme cold, there must be something extraordinary, and I am afraid that he will find out where my ice palace is. My mother-in-law's last words made me unable to wait for the present world to ensure the longevity of the Ice Palace. If he finds out and spreads it, my Ice Palace may not be safe for a long time. ”
"He was able to come out of the extremely cold land alive, he should have something to protect him from the cold, so you don't have to worry too much. Even if he found it, he wouldn't be able to preach it. Xuan Lao said lightly.
"No, Xuan Lao." Hearing the meaning of the old man's words, the woman said nervously, "The Ice Palace is hidden from the world and does not practice the Heavenly Dao because you don't want to be contaminated with the cause and effect of the earthly world. No, you can't. ”
"I didn't say I had to kill him, I see that you kid is in a hurry." The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "You can let the ice mirage make a move, and I will take him away after he is hallucinated, and this will be solved." ”
The face towel blew, and the woman sighed, and said with an apologetic smile: "Qing'er misunderstands that you are old, don't blame you for being old." Thank you for reminding me, I'll ask Mirage to make a move. After speaking, the woman took out a jade whistle and played it, and a burst of silent sound came out, and after seven breaths, the woman put away the jade whistle, "Then you will have to work hard again." ”
"What's so hard about it." The old man said, "Qing'er, when and where do you think the selection of this new protector is arranged?" Your mother-in-law is gone, and my duty to protect the path is coming to an end, and when a new protector is elected, my old fellow should also enjoy a few years of good fortune. ”
"You can just arrange to notify me about this, and the person you always value will not be wrong. As for enjoying Qingfu, I don't rely on it, Qing'er has only taken over the palace gate for a short time, and many things still depend on your old age, how can you leave it alone. If that's the case, I'll go and complain to my mother-in-law: you don't care if we live or die. Let's see how you explain it to your mother-in-law. ”
It was rare to see Qing'er's pampered appearance, the old man's heart softened into water, and he looked at Qing'er dotingly and said, "Qing'er, it's not that I don't care." Palace Gate Rules: One Guardian Road for One Generation. Your generation must be guarded by your generation of protectors. I'll help you train this generation of protectors. ”
As it is, there is no way. The woman said helplessly: "Excuse me, you're old." ”
Xuan Lao smiled, turned his head to look at Lin Yan in the distance, and his expression had a bit of curiosity, "Qing'er, how long has it been since the ice mirage?" ”
"A stick of incense time."
"Interesting."
"What's wrong?" The woman asked, following Xuan Lao's line of sight.
"The man hasn't been psychesy yet."
"Really?!"
"Well, the qi is stable and the demeanor is calm. If you insist on a pillar of incense for a long time, you can reach the standard of a protector. I haven't been walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I didn't expect such a good future to appear. ”
"Elder Xuan, do you think he can survive the next pillar of incense?" The woman asked, a little nervous. She knew how difficult it was for the Ice Palace to find someone to protect the way. Character aside, it is almost impossible for the divine sense to be able to make a move in the ice mirage without being psychedelized. The few people recommended by Xuan Lao this time were selected by Xuan Lao from the family and specially cultivated for a long time. Even so, Xuan Lao didn't dare to say 100% that they could meet the requirements.
"Depending on the situation, half a pillar of incense must be fine. Let's watch first, you let the mirage not have to be kept, although the act is. ”
"Listen to you." The woman blew the jade whistle again to convey the meaning to the mirage.
