Chapter 4: Escape from Death

"Come, go down and search for me, whether you live or die, you want to see people, and you want to see corpses when you die. Yin Wuxian ordered.

The disciples of the Heavenly Ice Palace were all women, and of course it was impossible for them to take off their clothes and jump into the icy river to find a man on this occasion. At this time, it is most appropriate for Yin Wufu to give orders.

"Yin Wu Wu, I hope you can inform me as soon as there is news. After speaking, Bing Tong brushed his sleeves away, ignoring Yin's lifeless attitude.

For the first month, the search yielded nothing.

In the second month, some disciples captured Shen Ao's traces, but they were killed by Shen Ao's counterattack, and Shen Ao finally did not know what happened, and the injury was unknown.

In the third month, the news of Shen Ao's death came out on the mainland, and he swore an oath, which was obviously not groundless. Shen Ao's death became a hot topic in the mainland for a while.

In the fourth month, in a cold and luxurious palace, the palace was filled with a bone-chilling cold, but the people here were as if nothing had happened, like fairies in this cold environment. In a simple but atmospheric room. The house is huge, but there are only two people in it. One of them was beaten unconscious by the ice pupil and sent back to the Ice Ice Palace, and the other was wearing white clothes, about 40 years old, but the years didn't seem to have left any traces on her face, and she looked like a young woman in her 20s.

Ice Dance is in a very bad mood at the moment, very bad. Bing Han Tear is her closed disciple, she has put a lot of effort into Bing Han Tear, and has always treated her as her own daughter. Originally, in a few years, she planned to retire from the position of palace master, retreat to the background, and concentrate on studying the supreme heart method of the Heavenly Ice Palace. All of this went well according to her script, but it changed because of a man named Shen Ao.

"Ice Heart Formula" requires that the person who cultivates must be ice clear and jade, and not be fascinated by earthly obsessions. If you want to be born, you must choose to enter the WTO, so every generation of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Ice Palace must enter the red dust world to refine her heart, and the cold tears are naturally no exception!

Heaven is unsatisfactory, creation makes people, Bing Juewu never thought that Bing Cold Tears would actually have true feelings for Shen Ao, this is what she does not allow, she can't tolerate her favorite disciple marrying a lone swordsman without any power, even if that person is the first person of the younger generation, even if that person has unparalleled swordsmanship, the battle between the big forces is not determined by the strength of one person, unless you are a legendary god-level master.

Therefore, she coerced Cold Tears to steal Shen Ao's "Proud Heavenly Canon", and wanted Cold Tears to break with Shen Ao, otherwise she would kill Shen Ao. Bing Han Tear couldn't disobey her master's order at all, and there was a scene of a mountain cliff duel.

"Tears, I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let you leave the Northern Regions when I was a teacher, otherwise you wouldn't have met Shen Ao. The Ice Dance was the first to break the embarrassment. At this time, the Ice Dance did not have the ethereal immortal it was at the beginning, and it looked very haggard.

"Master, can you tell me why?

Bing Jue Wu didn't expect the reflection of Bing Han's tears to be so intense, and said coldly, "It's impossible for you and Shen Ao, you die of this heart." You and I are now practicing hard and preparing for the Quartet Martial Arts. ”

"No, master, I'm going to see Brother Shen, I want to explain it to him, and he will definitely forgive me. ”

Seeing Bing Han's tears, Bing Jue Wu still refused to give up, and said ruthlessly, "You don't have to look for it, Shen Ao is dead, dead." Hearing this, the cold tears were like being struck by lightning, and she didn't say a word, and the tears kept sliding down her beautiful face.

Bing Jue Wu still refuses to do this, she wants to use this opportunity to help Bing Cold Tears cut off the love thread. She threw a sword at Icy Tears, "Look what this is"

Bing Han tears subconsciously took the sword, and it was Shen Ao's Tianque. Bing Han Tears touched the sword body with his hand, his eyes were obsessed, as if Shen Ao was in front of her. Bing Han muttered with tears, "The sword is in the people, the sword is dead, this is Brother Shen's Tianque." Bing Han Tears raised his sword and cut at his jade neck.

Bing Jue Wu was startled, and hurriedly swung out a sword qi to interrupt the movement of Bing Han Tears. "If you dare to commit suicide, this palace will order someone to dig up Shen Ao's body and expose the body for three days. The cold tears were dead and gray, and even the eyes dimmed.

After a long time, Bing Han Tears finally spoke, but his tone was extremely cold. It was cold from the bottom of his heart, and there was only incomparable dead ash left in his eyes, "Master, I can promise you." But Tianque must give it to me. ”

Bing Jue Wu was also shocked by Bing Cold Tears' indifferent eyes, but she also knew that she couldn't * Bing Cold Tears anymore, otherwise it might backfire. "Yes"

"Let's go, I'm going to practice." Bing Han Tears ignored the Ice Dance, walked straight to the place where Tianque fell, picked up Tianque, and when facing Tianque, a touch of tenderness flashed in Bing Han's eyes, and then turned back to dead gray "From now on, tears only belong to Brother Shen alone"

Bing Jue Wu looked at Bing Han Tears like this, sighed slightly, and walked out of the room, "Tears, being a teacher is for your good." ”

Shen Ao only felt that he had had a long dream, and his head was splitting. Shen Ao struggled to get up and found himself lying on a wooden bed with gauze tied to his body. Shen Ao wanted to get out of bed and walk, but found that the pain in his whole body was unbearable, and he didn't have half a true yuan in his body, so he could only lie on the bed helplessly.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and I saw a girl about 17 years old walking to the bed with a bowl of medicine, and when she saw Shen Ao's open eyes, she was shocked, "Grandpa, he's awake." ”

When an old man heard the girl's exclamation, he immediately rushed into the wooden house, without saying a word, holding Shen Ao's wrist, and said strangely, "Young man, why did you wake up so quickly." ”

Shen Ao didn't answer the old man's words immediately, but looked at the two people in front of him coldly, "Who are you and why am I here." ”

The old man was just about to speak, but the girl immediately said to Shen Ao, "My grandfather and I went out of the valley to collect medicine, and we saw you in a bloody coma in the grass, and then I persuaded my grandfather to rescue you back." ”

Shen Ao listened, and suddenly realized that after he fell into the river and escaped, he was intercepted and killed by many people, and after repeated battles, although he finally escaped, he also fell into a coma because of excessive blood loss. Although Shen Ao has become cold and ruthless after a series of changes, his essence has not changed, and he can't do ungrateful things.

Although the words of "thank you" are short, this sentence contains a firm promise from Shen Ao, even if it is to pay for his life, he is not a person who likes to owe favors, let alone save his life.

The old man waved his hand, "You haven't recovered yet, so let's recuperate here for a while." After speaking, he took the girl out of the wooden house, and before leaving, the girl winked at Shen Ao playfully.

Shen Ao lay on the bed with his eyes closed, carefully thinking about everything that had happened in the recent period, although this time was very short, for Shen Ao, it seemed like a lifetime so long, so long that he couldn't bear it. Shen Ao couldn't help but recall the beautiful face of the cold tears, but he thought of the scenes of the decisive battle. Shen Ao cut off this obsession in his heart, revenge is the most important thing now, to hell with all the children's affections, one day he Shen Ao is bound to use the long sword in his hand to make the Heavenly Ice Palace and the Nine Yin pay a heavy price.

In this way, slowly, Shen Ao entered a state of mystery and mystery, although there was still no trace of true yuan in his body that could be used, but he was getting deeper and deeper into the ruthless sword he had comprehended. Heaven is ruthless, ruthless, not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to oneself. Integrate oneself into the heavenly way of the underworld, regard floating life as a dream, and all things are ruthless. At this time, Shen Ao's body naturally exuded a sense of slaughter and despair, as if a cold god had descended into the world.

The old man outside the house seemed to feel something, looking at Shen Ao's wooden house, the light in his eyes flashed, and then he regained his calm, and secretly said in his heart, "Interesting little guy"

Time passed slowly in Shen Ao's cultivation like this. On the second day, Shen Ao felt much better. It's not that Shen Ao's body has completely recovered, but after a night of cultivation of the Ruthless Sword, he has recovered most of his excessive spiritual power, so Shen Ao feels that his body seems to have recovered a lot.

Shen Ao slowly sat up from the bed, although he still couldn't see the cliff as flat before the injury, but it was still okay to get out of bed and walk, and lying in bed all the time was not good for the injury.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Shen Ao saw the old man who had saved him sitting by a lake fishing. Just as he was hesitating to go over and say hello to the old man, the old man seemed to see Shen Ao, and said to Shen Ao, "Young man, since you are awake, come and sit down." Shen Ao was not a hypocritical person, after listening to the old man's words, he simply sat beside him.

"Young man, don't you want to know my story old fellow?"

"If you want me to know, old man, you'll tell me everything. If you don't say it, Shen won't force it, everything is fate. "It's a good fate," the old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Then you know, I didn't want to save you, but my granddaughter couldn't bear to see you die like this, and begged bitterly." The old man doesn't want to meddle in the situation on the mainland. But with your fate today, even if you are in my valley to recuperate, even if the Peerless Venerable comes, you can't help you. ”

Shen Ao was shocked when he heard this, and felt that the old man in front of him was really becoming more and more mysterious and unfathomable. The Absolute Heavenly Venerable is a myth on the mainland. The Peerless Venerable, named Proud Peerless Heaven, has a great talent. It can be said that he is the first person in the mainland, the strength of the peak of the saint level. He is known as the strongest person below the god level. In today's world, who knows if that ethereal god-level exists, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the mainland. What kind of person is this old man who seems to have no half of his cultivation, and he dares to argue with the arrogant sky.

Shen Ao laughed at himself. It seems that he underestimated the heroes of the world, and he was too conceited, and since he fought all over the best of the younger generation, he has unconsciously become a little conceited. Today's words with the old man can be said to have opened another door for him, and also made his determination to pursue the pinnacle of kendo more and more firm!

"Thank you, Shen Ao is very grateful here. Shen Ao knew that these words were not the old man's boasting, but knocking him on the side to remind him.

Seeing that Shen Ao didn't ask any questions, the old man nodded faintly. "You can call me Duan Lao, yesterday it was my granddaughter Duan Lin'er, young man, I will only give you half a month, you must leave this valley after half a month, I believe that half a month is enough for you to recover to a certain extent." After the old man said this, he waved his hand at Shen Ao, then picked up the fishing rod and closed his eyes to fish.

Seeing this, Shen Ao did not disturb the old man, and reflexively returned to the large open space behind the wooden house. Half a month is not a long time, Shen Ao not only has to recover his injuries, but also to recover his true yuan, he has no strength, and he will be slaughtered by others after he goes out. Although he still can't practice to a large extent, Shen Ao is already familiar with all his moves, and it doesn't matter if he practices them or not. Therefore, he is now just practicing simply to avoid a significant decrease in the body's ability to react.

On the first day, the second day, and the third day, Shen Ao was recovering his body, and by the fourth day, Shen Ao's body wounds had basically healed. When Duan Lao found out, he was also taken aback, and secretly scolded the pervert. Ordinary people have been injured so badly, and they are already glad that they are not dead, how can they heal so quickly. When the morning sun slowly rose on the fourth day, Shen Ao had already started his rehabilitation training. I saw Shen Ao sitting on the lawn of the courtyard, his eyes closed, and there was no half of the true yuan flowing up and down his body, if he didn't feel his faint breathing, it might make people mistakenly think that he was a dead man. Shen Ao's aura gradually blended into the surrounding environment, regardless of each other.

Duan Lao stroked his beard with his hand: This kid, talent and comprehension can be said to be a fight with the arrogant heaven of the year, and he is looking forward to the day when he and the arrogant heaven meet, it must be very interesting."

"Huh" let out a long breath of turbidity, Shen Ao finally woke up from this state, "It seems that the early morning is really the best time to comprehend the mystery of swordsmanship, after some understanding just now, my understanding of the ruthless sword and the "Aotiandian" has deepened a lot, if the original comprehension is so deep, I can definitely completely wipe out the ice pupil with the ruthless sword." A hint of fierceness flashed in Shen Ao's eyes, and then he returned to indifference.

Shen Ao slowly stood up and walked towards Duan Lao, when he opened his eyes just now, he saw Duan Lao looking at him, so he had to go and say hello. For Duan Lao, Shen Ao was very grateful, in the half month that he was healing, he could feel some strong aura approaching the valley, but it suddenly disappeared without a trace. What was going on, Shen Ao could vaguely guess, but Duan Lao didn't say it, and he didn't ask.

"Old Duan, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, I just saw that you were a little good at practicing at that time. However, there is one thing I would like to remind you of. Your talent is amazing, but the killing blood aura on your body is too heavy, which is not a good thing. ”

Shen Ao shook his head, his talent was amazing, he didn't think so, he could have such a high level of cultivation at that time, but every time he practiced hard, countless times he was born and died, others only knew his reputation as the number one swordsman, and they knew his hardships. As for the bloody aura, Shen Ao didn't care much, the way of the sword was originally the way of killing, and the swordsman should have a murderous aura. Coupled with the fact that he came in and suffered an accident, how could he not have a bloody atmosphere?

"Thank you Duan Lao for your advice, I have my own plans. By the way, why haven't you seen Miss Lin'er recently?"

"I'm afraid that the girl will make you rest, so she will go to the valley early every morning to collect medicine. Seeing that Shen Ao was a little unimpressed with his suggestion, Duan Lao did not continue to persuade him, waved his hand and walked away.

In the rest of the days, Shen Ao was cultivating every day, and during this time, he had met Duan Lin'er, and he also learned that Duan Lin'er was completely a lively and innocent little girl, and chatting with her was definitely much better than Duan Lao. After half a month of recovery, Shen Ao's strength has also recovered to the peak of the initial level of the ground level, and he can kill the middle level powerhouses of the ground level with all his strength, and even threaten the high level of the ground level, of course, it is only a threat.

The half-moon period has arrived, and Shen Ao should leave the valley. Shen Ao simply packed a few clothes, because Tianque was taken away by the people of the Heavenly Ice Palace, he could only carry a simple long sword on his back. "Old Duan, thank you for taking care of me during this time, and I have a fateful goodbye. Before Duan Lao could speak, Duan Lin'er had already taken the lead, "Brother Shen Ao, you must come to see me when you are free." Shen Ao just smiled when he heard this, life and death are uncertain, where do you know if you can come back. "Okay, I'll definitely come back to see you. "The premise is that I'm still alive, Shen Ao said secretly in his heart.

"Young man, I'm looking forward to how far you'll grow the next time we meet. Duan Lao said with his beard in his hands. Shen Ao nodded, didn't say anything, and turned over on his horse.

Riding away in white clothes, raising dust on the road, under the light of the setting sun, his figure looked gloomy and lonely. What is the road ahead, the sun is setting, and the night is coming.
