[?].

Here, there are only flying snow and storms in the sky, and those who accidentally come here and don't have the ice elemental exercises that are adapted to this place have only one end, and that is death. Death doesn't seem to be an unattainable thing for everyone, as long as you want to, then death will naturally come to you on its own initiative, and you don't need to bother at all.

And the word death, for a woman in white sitting at the table at the moment, can be said to be something that she experiences every day, and she actually has a trace of happiness in her heart when she comes back from that cold and bone-chilling place in the [polar region]. In that place, enduring the indescribable cold every day, facing the white ice and snow, she sometimes simply didn't open her eyes to see, because there was not much difference between closing her eyes and opening them.

In the midst of suffering, she practiced in that place and made great progress.

[Polar], this is a place that seems to be full of dead silence, according to legend, it was once a place where the gods fell, and there are many rare things buried in the depths of the snow, but it is difficult to take them out. Long Yuexin actually has a little approval of the term 'Godfall Land', because no living person would not want to come to this place to suffer. In addition to her, of course, there is also her master who is not afraid of the cold.

In the past ten years, she has wanted to know Master's name more than once, but every time she asked, all she got was silence. Her master rarely spoke, and the only time she could speak was to ask her how her cultivation was and if she had any doubts. She had raised a lot of questions, but Master Shizhi ** would not answer, because those questions had nothing to do with cultivation, and Long Yuexin herself knew that after so many years, she still refused to give up.

Ten years of cultivation life, if it weren't for the fact that she often had nothing to say, it is estimated that she would not even be able to speak for the past ten years. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I won't say it. Every day with a taciturn master, with her original nature, she will be driven crazy. Although she has practiced the legendary world's highest ice element technique, [Cold Condensation Technique], an exercise that the world can ask for but cannot obtain, for her, it is just an exercise that suits her physique. Master said that she was an "ice elemental body", she didn't know very well, she accepted this exercise when she was young, and to this day, she doesn't dare to say that she has reached a height of cultivation, which is the so-called peak. She only felt that there was a higher place in the heights. After ten years of "climbing" non-stop, I finally looked back, many things have become "small", and then I was dumbfounded, and unconsciously, I have come so far in the past ten years.

She actually has regrets, although it is related to that person, but he doesn't know, she doesn't want him to know. At the beginning, she was still a little happy, feeling that she had finally grown up, and she didn't need her parents to worry about her anymore, but soon, she realized it herself, and suddenly there was an indescribable sorrow in her heart.

She doesn't know if it's good or bad,

All she knew was that it was hard for her to laugh and cry again.

Later, she asked her master what was wrong with her, and Master answered her question for the first time that had nothing to do with cultivation, and at that time, Master was still the same as ten years ago, dressed in white, with a veil over his face, and a white jade bracelet on his wrist. At that time, the master only said one sentence to her, which was concise and to the point: If you are successful in cultivation, you will naturally be like this when you grow up.

She had doubts about Master's answer, but she couldn't think of a more suitable answer, so she simply kept this sentence in her heart for the time being. I hope that when I think about it in the future, I will think about it more carefully, what is the better answer? But after a long time, she didn't come up with an answer, so she began to be afraid, she was afraid that one day she would really agree with Master's answer.

Long Yuexin glanced at the letter on the table, she knew the general content of it, but she was a little ruthless now, the same as before. She looked up, looked at the gray and white sky that had not changed all year round, and let out a long sigh.

Why are there so many troubles? Long Yue couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about it anymore. Because there is one thing she still knows very well, that is, when you are thinking about why you are troubled, in fact, you will not reduce your troubles by a bit, but will only increase your troubles. Many simple truths, in the process of real practice, are not simple at all.

"How is your cultivation lately?" That familiar voice sounded behind Long Yuexin, ten years later, her voice has not changed, it is still so beautiful and ethereal. Behind Long Yuexin, there was a woman in white standing, her face was shrouded in a veil, and she could vaguely see the stunning face under the veil, I don't know why such a woman would practice the [Cold Condensation Technique] This ruthless technique?

Long Yuexin turned around and said, "Still." ”

The woman in white nodded, and then asked, "How did you think about that matter?"

Long Yuexin was a little silent and did not answer her question.

The woman in white had a cold look in her eyes and looked at Long Yuexin, "Make a decision as soon as possible, if you continue to make decisions, there will be endless troubles." ”

After leaving these words, the woman didn't say much, just turned around. The white jade bracelet on her wrist flickered, and in the wind and snow, the figure disappeared.

Long Yue was indifferent, she was no longer surprised by Master's methods that came and went without a trace. It was also because of the existence of her master that she always knew that she had not really cultivated to her home yet, and that she had a long way to go, and she still had to continue walking.

She touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled lightly. Now that she thinks about it, the time before she really embarked on the path of cultivation was the time when she was truly happy. But it's all gone, even though it's the result of your own choice.

Long Yuexin's eyes were dim, and she looked at the wind and snow outside the window in confusion.

It's still so white, so cold.

Now that I think about it, my father let me come to the academy to practice, maybe I wanted to give myself more choices. It's just that I now have a choice, and

And she made a choice, but she was not happy. For the sake of the empire, what is her own sacrifice?

Long Yuexin looked at the letter on the table, the content of the letter was very small, concise and to the point, just like her master's words. She read the letter for a long time, and all she could hear was the sound of a blizzard. Finally, she looked away from the envelope and got up and walked out of the snowy hut, her gaze calm, looking at the white that seemed to have no end in sight. After staying in this boring place for so long, she didn't even feel bored. It should be the relationship of practicing [Han Ning Jue], the wind and snow she sees every day have their own postures, just like the fluttering cities built in the wind and snow, the great scenery inside, the stories of people coming and going, the daily life of birth, old age, sickness and death, she can see it really, but her heart is getting colder and colder.

She slowly walked down the steps, the steps were covered with snow, and only the general outline could be seen, Long Yuexin walked down, and there was a deep pit at one foot, the heavy snow sank into her legs, and the cold wind and snow were like countless sharp blades, carefully polishing the people and things on this land.

Everything will be snow-white and icy.

Long Yuexin walked on the vast snow, and the footprints behind her were quickly covered by the wind and snow, and she walked aimlessly, endlessly. Suddenly, she stopped and looked in a direction she had been looking at, she opened her mouth and sat feebly on the ground, looking down at the snow on the ground.

Can't cry.

[April Valley].

Alice sat behind a rock, a little sullen. She looked at the little turtle drawn on the stone and suddenly smiled brightly.

The elven clan elder not far away, who was also the teacher of the academy, shook his head when he saw this scene, and seemed to be a little worried. There is no way, for national affairs, even if he, the elven elf elf elder, takes out his professor's qualifications, he still has no right to speak. Of course, she also knew what the princess was worried about. Between the two countries, if they want to join forces and tide over the difficulties together, then they need a medium to contain each other, and for the empire and the elves, marriage may be the best choice.

It's just that this choice will not be approved by Alice. Although the empire now seems to be prosperous, there are serious internal and external troubles that worry the emperor.

In the north, there are the forces of [Snow Field Us] and the Demon Cult, and in the south, there are otherworldly creatures that often disturb the seaside, and in the past ten years, the South China Sea has become more and more chaotic, and pirates have emerged in an endless stream, and for some reason, there have been many strange alien masters, who are incomparably strong, resulting in the phenomenon of destroying cities and claiming the king in the South China Sea, and those otherworldly creatures that can transform have also begun to increase recently, one by one, wearing scales and armor, holding something similar to a trident, and occupying the city around the South China Sea.

I thought that those otherworldly creatures were only good at sea warfare, but I didn't expect that their land combat ability was also extremely good. The armies sent by the empire were very troublesome to them, and they could not attack them, especially after they captured the city. Those otherworldly creatures are like

The sea fish and sea beasts with long limbs were tall and hard-skinned, and the bow and arrow could not penetrate them, and even those talisman swords attached to the magic circle could only draw shallow white marks on their bodies, so the troops sent were slaughtered and eaten by those otherworldly creatures with beastly nature.

Cultivating to a high level of otherworldly creatures, the degree of transformation is naturally different, a little better, and humans can't see much difference, but there are still scales on the skin, but those dense talisman scales can only be seen clearly under the sun, and they will never be seen in ordinary times. So they don't seem to be much different from human beings, the only difference may be the difference in beliefs between each other, these otherworldly creatures have finally found a place to satisfy their tongues in years of oppression, and the only thing they want to do is to occupy this fertile land, and then multiply on this fertile soil, endlessly.

In recent years, there have been several anomalies in the magic circle under the Saint Dias Academy, cracks have appeared in the passage of the Sea of Nothingness, and several streams of the Sea of Nothingness have also appeared, flowing to all seas in the world, and those otherworldly creatures have passed through the passage and come to this world. There are still many secrets, and there is no way to be an outsider.

Can heaven and earth really live in harmony with each other? Can that ancient god-level magic circle really keep this heaven and earth safe forever?

I think that the current East China Sea is the same as the South China Sea, right? Otherworldly creatures are squeezing out of the passage one after another, and it is impossible for the academy to ignore them. It's just that most of the students don't know what happened in the Sea of Nothingness, they can only see the academy teachers walking out of the academy one by one, and then few people are able to come back. The dean went on a long trip, and he didn't know what he could do about the anomalies in the Sea of Nothingness.

Many people are waiting patiently.

Alice thought about the Lin Futian who agreed to her unreasonable demand.

After he promised himself, she and he hadn't seen each other for many years, and although she believed what he said, she was still a little worried after so many years.

Next year's events have already been laid out and told to themselves this year. Isn't it just a marriage, are you really afraid that you won't be able to escape? The letter made it very clear, so it was not because she was afraid that she would run away, but because she couldn't run away at all. This feeling of aggrieved makes her very uncomfortable every time she thinks about it.

But when she thinks of the girl called "Long Yuexin", she will feel better, because that girl is more miserable and helpless than herself. She thought about these things that would comfort her, but there was no smile on her face.

She looked at the big stone in front of her and said softly, "Why can't we women choose it so much?"

Alice's voice was poignant, and she could hear the elven patriarch not far away, she wiped her face, sighed, and said, "This is politics......"

————

Large central states.

Lin Futian and his party finally came to the periphery of the city, looking at the towering city wall, Luo Mei said, "Are we going to arrive?"

Lin Futian smiled

He nodded, looking at the young monk beside him. He still had his hands folded, but he closed his eyes and hid those golden eyes.

"Let's go, the rest of the days shouldn't be very good. Lin Futian said with a smile.

Except for the young monks, the rest of them were somewhat devastated.

Lin Futian glanced at the reactions of several people and smiled.

Then step into this century-old city.

In this way, Lin Futian, who was dressed in black and had a relaxed attitude, Luo Mei, who was dressed in green and holding a bamboo sword, Zhao Jingzhi, who was dressed in moonlight, Mo Yunfu, who pretended to be calm, and a young monk with his hands folded and his eyes closed, entered the city like this.
