Chapter 52: First Adventure in the Snowy Land
As soon as Wang Qi approached Izumoko, a huge blood moth flew out of Izumoko's mouth, and the blood moth's wings vibrate, and a stream of red blood mist rushed towards Wang Qi.
Xuan Ying was on full alert, and when he saw it, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Qi out of seven feet.
Wang Qi was shocked, and saw that the blood moth continued to crawl out of Izumoko's mouth one after another, and hurriedly took a dusty cloth bag, shook it in the wind, and took the blood moth and Izumoko into it, and fell to the ground.
Linglong covered his mouth and said: "He's... Became this thing?"
Wang Qi's face was sad, and he sighed: "I'm afraid that those fellow Daoists in the cave have become corpses for refining blood moths. β
Xuan Ying said: "What kind of evil thing is this blood moth?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said, "I can only say that what I have never seen and heard should not be something in our world." β
Linglong seemed to have an understanding: "Is it from another world?"
Wang Qidao: "What can be concluded is that the Great Dao Patriarch must be related to the other world, and it is logical that these evil creatures come from the other world, as for the use of the blood moths, I can't guess what they are used for, but I just think they are very dangerous and cannot be touched." β
Linglong said: "That Izumo old way... It's hopeless?"
Wang Qidao: "The fifth senior brother is profound, although the body is occupied by the blood moth, but he still maintains a spirit immortal, presumably he wants to tell me something after being awakened, I feel that he has been watching me, but he has no ability to speak, and we have been thinking about escape and have no time to take care of him, until the blood moth has completely controlled him, there is that scene." β
Xuan Ying said: "Uncle Shi, what are you going to do with these blood moths in the bag?"
Wang Qi pondered for a long time before saying, "This thing can't be kept." With that, three flames of blue, red, and white came out of his mouth, and the flames enveloped the gray cloth pocket, burning so creaking that in a moment the pocket gradually shrank and returned to its original shape. Wang Qi's hand was drawn, and three flames flew back into his mouth, which was exactly the Samadhi Divine Fire that he had cultivated and refined over the years.
Wang Qi picked up the gray cloth pocket and shook it in the air, and a wisp of smoke and dust drifted away.
Wang Qi sighed: "Fifth Senior Brother, may you enter reincarnation as soon as possible." β
Sui Feng next to him clasped his hands together and whispered: "All things have a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." β
Wang Qi glanced at him and muttered, "The little monk speaks like a fart, it's not your senior brother who dares to die." β
Linglong saw that he was not very happy, so she diverted and said, "Uncle Shi, what should we do now?"
Wang Qi pinched his fingers and said, "This place is five hundred miles away from the Great Dao Patriarch, and he won't be able to find us so easily for a while, but the situation is urgent, so we will take action." β
Linglong pouted, "I have to go our separate ways again." β
Wang Qi continued: "The three of you quickly go to the Snow Land to find the Red Lotus and the Moonlit Night, remember that the earth, water, fire, and wind must not be separated, only if you become one, the Great Dao Ancestor will not be able to control you so easily." β
Xuan Ying hurriedly said, "We, where are you going?"
Wang Qi said with a solemn expression: "I am afraid that the only person in the world who can compare with the Great Dao Patriarch today is the Nine Tribulations of Longhu Mountain, I want to go up to Longhu Mountain to see his old man, if he is there, things will take a turn for the better." β
Xuan Ying said uneasily: "I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go to Longhu Mountain alone, I think it's better not to separate." β
Wang Qi said categorically: "Don't persuade me, I have made up my mind, I can't take care of so many major things at present, don't delay the three of you to set off quickly." β
Linglong pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Shi, I really don't worry about you going alone." β
Wang Qi smiled: "The little girl actually knows that she cares about your uncle and ancestor, don't worry, it will be fine." β
So Xuan Ying and the other three said goodbye to Wang Qi and went straight to the southwest.
Wang Qimu sent them away, his heart was stunned for a while, he slowly walked out of the gate of the ancient ancestral hall, looked up at the decayed frieze on it, and vaguely recognized a few words - Taigong Ancestral Hall.
Wang Qi muttered: "It is not the shrine of Jiang Taigong, but it is also the ancestor of my generation, but it is a pity that the statues of the gods have disappeared for a long time." At that moment, he bowed three times to the dilapidated ancestral hall, and said: "I hope that the prince will bless the disciples to have a smooth trip and be safe." Then he turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to take a step, he heard a creak behind him, and the ancestral hall, which was already crumbling, collapsed.
Looking at the rubble on the ground, Wang Qi felt gloomy in his heart, expecting that this trip would be more auspicious and less auspicious, so he sighed and brushed his sleeves away.
Xuanying and the others said goodbye to Wang Qi and went straight to the snowy region, and on the way, Linglong asked Suifeng's master many times, but Suifeng was silent and refused to say it clearly, and became a stuffy gourd along the way, which made Linglong unhappy.
When we arrived on the plateau, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was early winter, and it was already snow-covered and covered in snow.
Linglong never went down to Mingyue Mountain all year round, never saw a snow scene, and was so excited that she ran east and west like a horse, without stopping for a moment, causing Xuanying to chase her everywhere.
After all, Xuanying is calmer, and when she first arrives in the mysterious snowy region, she doesn't know what danger will be, for fear that something will happen to Linglong and she will not be able to explain it to her master.
But the delicate child's heart, where can I listen to the dissuasion?
Sui Feng finally couldn't help but said to Linglong: "Fang is the sea of grass is nothing, in front of it is an endless snow-capped mountain, don't walk around, there are snow shells everywhere, and there are mostly bottomless snow abysses under the snow shells, and you will die if you fall down."
Linglong said strangely: "Listening to what you mean, you seem to be familiar with this place, have you been here?"
Sui Feng was expressionless and noncommittal.
Linglong glanced at him and snorted: "Alarmist, I don't bother to pay attention to you." After saying that, he spread his feet and ran to a snowy ridge in front of him.
"Come back quickly!" Xuan Ying didn't stop her, and hurriedly chased after her.
Linglong ran to the snow ridge, looked around, only to feel the boundless white between the heavens and the earth, and an impulse to fly rose in his heart, so he slid all the way down the slope, roaring in his mouth.
Xuan Ying chased after him and didn't hold it, and paused and said, "What a little crazy woman!"
Sui Feng also rushed over, and said in a lost voice: "It's not good! It's very likely that there is a snow abyss down there, call her back quickly." β
Xuan Ying yelled angrily: "Dead girl, come back soonΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Before he finished shouting, he saw Linglong slipping in the distance, and disappeared with a swish.
Xuan Ying screamed "bad" and was about to rush down, but he hurriedly stopped him with the wind and said, "Don't be reckless, the edge of the snow abyss is hidden and unpredictable, you have to pass slowly." β
Xuanying had nothing to do, so he had to endure his anxiety and slowly glide past as he said.
When the two of them came to the place where Linglong disappeared, they saw a big hole in the smooth snow surface, Xuan Ying approached carefully, and saw that the snow cave was dark and could not see anything clearly, and suddenly remembered that the magic knife could be retracted freely, up to a hundred zhang long, so he wanted to use it to probe the depth, but before he could pull out the magic knife, something popped out of the snow cave.
