Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Secret
Hearing Shui Yuanshang's words, Sun Xiaofei and the others' faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly asked why?
Shui Yuanshang seemed to have something hidden, and he was perfunctory, but he didn't answer their questions directly, Sun Xiaofei and the others were helpless, and they were even more suspicious in their hearts.
"So...... Can I see Shui Bingrou first?" Since he couldn't ask the result, Sun Xiaofei changed the topic and made another request.
Shui Yuanshang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't let you meet Rou'er, it's that my brother can't get away because of Rou'er's affairs." ”
"Shui Bingrou, what happened to her?" Sun Xiaofei couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, and asked.
"She's fine for now. Well, I'll report back and I'll get back to you, and if I can, I'll arrange for Rou'er to meet you as soon as possible. I'll pass it on to my brother on your behalf. ”
Sun Xiaofei nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait for your news." ”
Sun Xiaofei and the others were arranged to stay, and Shui Yuanshang went to find his brother Shui Yuanguang, that is, the patriarch of the Shui family, Shui Bingrou's father.
After Shui Kun brought them here, he left the same day and returned outside.
Waiting is a painful ordeal.
Shui Yuanshang went for two days, and there was no news coming, during these two days, Sun Xiaofei and the others lived in a courtyard with a beautiful environment, and there was no restriction on anyone who wanted to go there, and an old man arranged by Shui Yuanshang led them to watch all over the valley.
It's just that Sun Xiaofei felt that someone was watching them around. There are many places in the valley that they still can't enter, and I heard that only the core children of the family can enter.
There are places in the valley where even the core children do not have the right to enter, and those places are the important places of the Shui family. Unless authorized or in a special status, they are eligible to enter.
Sun Xiaofei offered to go and see the legendary cold spring in the valley. The old man who led them around the valley readily agreed, and brought them to the cold spring.
When he got there, Sun Xiaofei knew why the old man agreed so happily, because the cold spring was very important to the Shui family. The people of the Shui family specially built a magnificent palace on top of the cold spring, called the Cold Spring Palace.
In the Cold Spring Palace, there are strong family ancestors who sit in the town all the year round to protect the cold spring. Therefore, even if Sun Xiaofei and the others wanted to see it, they had to get the consent of the guardian elders of the Cold Spring Palace.
With the old man coming forward, there is naturally no problem in this matter. As guests, they can go in and watch, but they can only watch from the viewing platform from a distance, and they are forbidden to touch the cold spring up close.
Sun Xiaofei and the others stood on the observation deck in the distance and looked at the cold spring was only a pond dozens of meters wide, and the slowly flowing spring water was dark blue, which did not condense into ice all year round, but the temperature was terrifyingly low. A large amount of cold air gathered around, forming a white and dense fog.
There are some small pools next to the cold spring, and many members of the water family are soaking, absorbing the cold power of the cold spring. The cold spring water in these pools has been diluted to suit the cultivation of the Shui family's clansmen.
"If you also want to soak in the water of the cold spring, you can talk to the second master, and he should agree to you. The old man laughed.
"Oh, no. Let's go back. Sun Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully.
The old man smiled and led them out of the Cold Spring Palace, and Sun Xiaofei and the others returned to their residence.
Sun Xiaofei just walked to the door, suddenly paused, a light flashed in his eyes, and then returned to normal and walked into the house, and saw a young man with an indifferent face sitting in the house, Sun Xiaofei recognized this young man as Shui Yuanshang's disciple, called Shui Lingzhi. The strength is not low, and there is a sword sect-level cultivation.
"You're back. Let's go. Shui Lingzhi got up and said.
"Where are you going?" Sun Xiaofei asked with a smile when he heard this.
"The patriarch is coming to see you. ”
Shui Lingzhi said coldly, and then walked towards the door.
Sun Xiaofei glanced at Lucia, nodded his head, and followed Shui Lingzhi to see the head of the Shui family.
A moment later, Shui Lingzhi took Sun Xiaofei and others into a large hall. Sun Xiaofei walked in, and saw several people sitting in the hall, except for Shui Yuanshang and the old man in silver robes, there was a middle-aged man in the middle of the hall who looked somewhat similar to Shui Yuanshang, and the aura exuded was a little cold, this person was Shui Yuanshang's brother Shui Yuanguang.
Next to Shui Yuanguang sat a beautiful woman with luxurious clothes and a haggard face.
As soon as Shui Lingzhi entered the door, he bowed down to several people in the main hall and said loudly: "Patriarch, I have already brought them." ”
"Okay, Ling Zhi, you go to the side first. Shui Yuanguang, who was sitting in the middle, waved his hand slightly and nodded.
"Yes!" Shui Lingzhi retreated in response, walked behind Shui Yuanshang and stopped.
Sun Xiaofei and the others stepped forward and arched their hands, and saw Shui Yuanguang and a few others, and Shui Yuanguang motioned for them to sit down and talk. Sun Xiaofei and the others politely sat down on the chair next to them.
Shui Yuanguang reported his name to Sun Xiaofei and introduced the identity of the woman next to him. The woman was none other than his wife, Shui Bingrou's mother.
After Shui Yuanguang introduced himself, he stared at Sun Xiaofei and asked, "Your name is Ryan, right?" I've heard Rou'er talk about you. Thank you so much for sending me that box. ”
"It should. This was brought to me by the Frozen King. Can I ask, Shui Bingrou, what's wrong with her?" Sun Xiaofei asked.
"I'll tell you about Rou'er's situation later, have you ever heard of the legend of the Ice Wind Goddess?" asked Shui Yuanguang.
"I've heard a few, it's just ...... What does this have to do with Shui Bingrou?" Sun Xiaofei frowned slightly and asked.
"I'm going to tell you that this legend is true, and there was indeed a goddess of ice wind on the continent. And our Shui family and other families who live here are all descendants of her. Shui Yuanguang's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.
Speaking of the Goddess of Ice Wind, the people present at the Shui family also looked pious.
At this time, Shui Yuanguang also began to tell a piece of unknown history.
About a thousand years ago, the Saint-level powerhouses on the Via Continent could not be said to be everywhere, and they could be regarded as numerous, and even the god-level powerhouses above the Saint Rank could be seen.
Among them, on the cold ice field located at the northern end of the continent, there were once three god-level powerhouses. The world has an inexplicable awe of these strong men, and they are called gods.
These three god-level powerhouses have reached the god level because of their comprehension of different elemental powers, and they are called the God of Storm, the God of Light, and the Goddess of Ice Wind.
The God of the Storm is a god-level powerhouse who can control the power of the wind system, the God of Light is a god-level powerhouse who controls the power of the light system, and the Goddess of Ice Wind is a female god-level powerhouse who controls the power of the water and ice systems. At that time, there were only two women in the entire continent who became god-level powerhouses, and the other was called god-level powerhouses and was the goddess of nature from the ancient forest.
The God of the Storm and the Goddess of the Ice Wind have always had a grudge, and because of their respective beliefs, their followers often fight. However, because of the existence of the god of light, although the two gods often broke out into battles, they did not reach the point of fighting for their lives.
Subsequently, for some reason, the entire continent suddenly reported that the god level was not immortal, and only by breaking through the god level and entering the eternal realm could he truly become an immortal god. If you want to break through the god level and enter the immortal eternal realm, you can only break through this realm by devouring the divine bodies of other god level powerhouses and reaching the level of perfection. The news caused a great shock on the mainland.
Finally, one day, a war broke out on the Via continent between god-level powerhouses. Many god-level powerhouses and disciples under the sect were involved in it. This battle lasted for several years, during which god-level powerhouses were constantly killed and fell. The Saint-rank powerhouses were also affected, and there were countless casualties in the battle between the God-rank powerhouses. A casual coercion of a god-level powerhouse can easily destroy the body of a saint-level powerhouse, and the entire continent is on the verge of destruction, and it is difficult for a saint-level powerhouse to escape the threat of death, and it is even more difficult for other cultivators with low strength to escape.
There is no longer any friendship between the gods and the gods, and only by devouring other people's gods can they ensure their continued survival.
The God of the Storm joins forces with other gods to attack the Icewind Mountains, where the Icewind Goddess is located. The Icewind Mountain Range that was attacked suffered heavy casualties, and the Icewind Goddess had no choice but to stand up and stop the evil deeds of the Storm God and others. After a difficult battle, the Goddess of Ice Wind defeated the God of the Storm and the others with one enemy and three enemies, and then cast a peerless supernatural power to freeze the three of them.
However, later the God of Light appeared and attacked the Goddess of Ice Wind, who had run out of divine power. Before the goddess of ice wind died, she turned into a huge ice peak and suppressed it on the seal forever, completely sealing the god of storm and others. Since then, the Ice Wind Palace, which believes in the Goddess of Ice Wind, and the Holy See, which believes in the God of Light, have begun to form a deep hatred that cannot be resolved.
That god-level battle almost destroyed eight or nine tenths of the god-level powerhouses and saint-level powerhouses in the Weiya Continent, as well as most of the powerhouses. This catastrophe was known as the War of Annihilation, and it was not until a thousand years later that the continent of Via began to regain some vitality.
However, the glory of the past is gone. I don't know if it's because of the consequences of that war, or because many cultivation cheats were destroyed and lost in the war. In the hundreds of years since then, there has never been a god-level powerhouse in the Via Continent, and even a saint-level powerhouse is extremely rare.
"Senior Shui, I still don't understand when I hear you say that. Could it be ......?" Sun Xiaofei listened to everything Shui Yuanguang said, and his heart was shocked.
"Huh...... I'll tell you the truth. My Shui family is one of the members of the Ice Wind Palace, and every once in a while, we have to select some people with the right physique to enter the Ice Wind Palace to receive the inheritance of the Ice Wind Goddess. Rou'er, I've already been sent to the Ice Wind Palace. If you want to see her, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Shui Yuanguang said with a smile.
"What!Bingrou, has she entered the Ice Wind Palace to receive the inheritance?" Sun Xiaofei stood up and said with a shocked expression.
"Not bad. You're late. I've sent her in. Shui Yuanguang nodded.
"Peng!"
Sun Xiaofei sat on the chair with some frustration, and accidentally, the chair suddenly burst and scattered, and he still didn't realize it. When I heard the news, I seemed to be in a daze, my head was blank, and I didn't know what to do?
