Chapter 121: Phantom Snow Forest (I)
The next day, Xiao Cong and Ouyang Xun continued to hurry, day after day, the winter became deeper and deeper, and time passed slowly in this seemingly never-ending trek.
Finally, it snowed.
Pure white snowflakes fall one by one, and when the wind blows, it rolls up a pure white wave, whirling, spinning, endlessly swaying, not knowing where it will eventually fall;
"How long is it going to snow? ”
"I guess it's going to stop. ”
"How far is this from the Turtle Mansion?"
"By the time the weather warms up, it's almost there. ”
"Why?"
"The place in Turtle Mansion is like spring all year round, it is definitely a treasure of feng shui, if you want to say that the group of old turtles back then really knew how to choose a place!"
Xiao Cong and Ouyang Xun struggled to move forward, chatting without a word to relieve loneliness, this snow has been falling for more than ten days, fluttering and sprinkling is non-stop, so deep that people can't pull their legs as soon as they take a step.
The snow on the ground was thick again.
"Alas, if only Lao Tzu could fly in the sky, it would be many years later......"
"If you can fly in the sky and leave the Heavenly Realm, can this Xuanzhen Realm still keep you, Senior Young Master Ouyang?"
"Alas, that's what I said," Ouyang Xun replied casually with emotion, "Hey, don't you immortal cultivators have a way to let you stupid birds fly first, why don't you fly?"
Xiao Cong was embarrassed, and black lines appeared on his forehead, but now he was basically used to Ouyang Xun's mouth that had never been able to spit out ivory.
"Master didn't teach. Xiao Cong replied casually.
"Then what did your master teach you? I have to teach you something. ”
"Master taught me the Heavenly Dao Treasure Book, but to be honest, I still don't understand what he is talking about, it seems that he has everything, and it seems that there is nothing. ”
Ouyang Xun glanced lightly at Xiao Cong, who was trying to pull his legs forward,
"If you don't want to say it, forget it..."
"I don't lie to you, my master said... Hey, what was that?"
Xiao Cong was just about to say something to clarify, but suddenly his expression froze, and he looked around with wide eyes and a surprised expression.
"What's the matter, dazzled, what's there?"
Ouyang Xun also stopped and looked around strangely,
"No, there must be something nearby, what about my Zhuxian Sword?"
"Satoshi, aren't you kidding me......"
Ouyang Xun said as he handed the Zhuxian Sword to Xiao Cong with a puzzled face.
Xiao Cong's eyes widened and the purple pupils were exerted to the extreme, the cat bent his waist, and walked forward cautiously step by step, holding Zhu Xian's hand and fist white, Ouyang Xun looked at Xiao Cong, stabilized the hat on his head with his hand, and didn't dare to laugh lazy anymore, although his every step was very light, but he could still hear the squeak of the snow being pressed, after all, this guy was wide and strong, like a calf.
Xiao Cong stopped and straightened up.
"What's wrong, Satoshi. Ouyang Xun whispered beside Xiao Cong.
Xiao Cong's face was solemn, he shook his head slightly, but he was silent, and then, he closed his eyes, his ears trembled slightly, and suddenly, with a wave of his right hand, Zhu Xian rushed out like an arrow off the string.
"Wow~Woo~"
There was a screaming sound from the front of him, like the wail of a powerful ghost from the deepest part of the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring, Ouyang Xun was frightened by this sudden scream, and the halberd almost fell to the ground.
"Huh~" "Duo ......" "Buzz ......"
Suddenly the snow flew in front of him, like a light wind rolling up a gentle white powder, Zhu Xian was nailed to a thick tree trunk in front of him and shook sharply, making a long buzz, "whoosh" white snow flying,
The snow on the branches fell one after another due to the impact of Zhu Xian, fluttering and sprinkling.
"Damn, what the hell!" Ouyang Xun couldn't help but scold.
"It's just a snow ghost, nothing. ”
Xiao Cong said as he walked, with a look of disapproval, but when he pulled out Zhu Xian with force, he paused slightly, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"It's ......"
"Satoshi, what are you muttering, what is a snow ghost?"
"Nothing, nothing. ”
Xiao Cong hung Zhu Xian on his back and said with a smile:
"Snow ghost, as the name suggests, refers to a kind of ghost thing born in the snow day of ninety, there may be some evil things hidden in this forest, taking advantage of the heavy snow to condense a body to make trouble. ”
As he spoke, he patted Ouyang Xun on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, as soon as the sun comes out, they'll be gone. ”
Ouyang Xun muttered, and angrily withdrew the halberd back to Mike.
"Uncle, the harmful master has a false alarm, and let the master meet you again, the master will chop you... Hey, Satoshi, don't you need me to hold your sword anymore?"
"No, no......" Xiao Cong grinned and waved his hand, "just in case." ”
Ouyang Xun was suspicious, although he was puzzled, but he didn't say much.
"Well, whatever you want. “
"Alas, this time I have to find those old guys when I go back to the Turtle Mansion, and let them teach me more things, I am basically illiterate by your side, and I don't even know a snow ghost..."
Ouyang Xun seemed to have finally found a new topic, and began another round of chatter, Xiao Cong hurriedly cast a small spell to block his ears, but then he lifted the hearing limit, looking back, it is good to let Ouyang Xun keep nagging like this, first, he can strengthen his courage, and second, he can create some illusions for the secret enemy, not to mention that things like snow ghosts can't find their traces by eyesight and spiritual sense alone in the snowy winter, if you want to detect their location, you still have to rely on your ears, but I don't know how to deal with the bloodstains on the Zhuxian Sword at this time, and with him, it is destined to be a quick battle, wipe him off to the point that he may be able to tremble for a while, Xiao Cong has always disliked passivity, so he chose the former.
But then again, snow ghosts shouldn't have blood!
"The snow ghost who has cultivated the body of flesh and blood, he~ It seems that he has to work hard again!" he smiled bitterly in his heart.
In this way, the two of them hurried for three days, and the snow was still falling, fluttering and sprinkling, down and stopping, stopping and falling, making people seem to have lost the concept of time unconsciously, and the last bit of thought left in their hearts to go out was almost annihilated by the fluttering snowflakes.
"Xiao Cong, it's not a way to go on like this!"
Ouyang Xun said to Xiao Cong weakly while pulling his legs with difficulty.
"yes, it's not the ...... way"
Xiao Cong stopped, squinted his eyes and looked up at the gray sky, and muttered:
"I haven't seen the sun for more than ten days......
In fact, from the first day they set foot in this forest, they have not seen the sun again.
"Ah Xun, Uncle Ouyang should have prepared something for you before leaving, is there a map in it?"
Ouyang Xun is leading the way all the way, every time he feels that there is a slight deviation, Ouyang Xun will always show an oath, patting his chest to ensure that he is right, in this way, Xiao Cong really does not want to touch this young master who is as big as a child's temperament, so he follows all the way, and does not ask about the route.
"Hmm......" Ouyang Xun scratched his head and thought, "Yes! Yes, I'll look for it!"
A burden appeared out of thin air like a trick in his hand, light blue, stacked neatly and exquisitely, and at a glance, he knew that Ouyang Xun had never opened it.
After rummaging for a while, Ouyang Xun handed a scroll-like object to Xiao Cong's hand, and Xiao Cong spread it flat on the snowy ground, his fingers slowly moving on it.
We started here, then here, and then here... It's about right here......
Looking at the place indicated by their fingers, the two of them were silent, raised their heads slightly, looked at each other for a long time, and said in unison:
"Phantom ...... Snow...... Forest...... Lin ......"
