Chapter 17: The Battle of the Lotus in the Snow Mountain
After spending a night in the forest, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Long Yang and Bing'er set off for the snowy mountain.
Walk away from the Stygian Sea, through the dense forests around Mt. Aomine, and walk a hundred miles to reach the snow-capped mountains. After about a few hours of travel, the two finally arrived at the snow-capped mountain.
100 meters away from the snow-capped mountain is a turbulent stream, at the foot of the mountain are all white rocks of different sizes, grass occasionally grows between the cracks of the stones, the old trees are entrenched, some wild birds chirp in the trees, whenever the wind blows, always with the cold air to rush to the face, make people feel unhappy.
"This is the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Why is it so bleak. Long Yang felt uncomfortable when he saw some animal remains. Liao Bing'er said apologetically, "Brother Long, thank you for your hard work." Long Yang saw her ruddy face and smiled, "It's a trivial matter." Looks like your injuries are much better. ”
Liao Bing'er responded calmly, "Yes." Thanks to your medicine. Long Yang saw that she was in a bad mood, and thought to himself, she must be worried that she would not be able to get the blood spirit lotus to treat her father's illness.
"Let's go up the hill and see how it goes. When we go up the mountain, the wind and snow on the mountain will be very strong, and we will have to climb up slowly. The snowy mountains are slippery and the rocks are very sharp, so you have to be careful. Liao Bing'er said with concern. Long Yang nodded and said, "Well, I will." ”
The snow-capped mountains are thousands of feet high, and the snow flutters all year round, and the higher you climb, the bigger the snowflakes. The two of them walked on the slope of the mountain road, really felt that it was difficult to walk, at this time, the snow slapped on their bodies, from time to time a few gusts of wind swept by, the snowflakes on the slope were swept down the mountain and made a crackling sound, the two of them clung to the rock and froze, braving the wind and snow, and their bodies were already cold.
"Miss Liao, be careful. Long Yang shouted with difficulty.
"You too. Liao Bing'er looked up at Long Yang's frozen red face.
Suddenly, the wind and snow were fierce. A sudden piece of snow happened to hit the golden hairpin on Liao Bing'er's head, and the golden hairpin flew out instantly.
"My golden hairpin!" Liao Bing'er didn't think about anything, and hurriedly jumped to catch the flying golden hairpin, who knew that the whole person slid out of the mountain road.
"Bing'er!" Long Yang heard the sound, shouted and slid down, his left hand firmly grasped a piece of white rock, and his right hand tightly grasped Liao Bing'er's hand, shouting, "Be careful and don't let go!"
"Brother Long, your hand..."Liao Bing'er saw that the blood on Long Yang's left hand had soaked the white rock, and secretly thought, such a man sacrificed his life to save him, how could I, Liao Bing'er, be able to do it.
The wind and snow slapped mercilessly on Long Yang's face, and his fair face became flushed. Long Yang shouted, "Don't let go! I'll pull you to the road." "Hmm!" Liao Bing'er held Long Yang's right hand, feeling warm and secure. After some struggle, the two finally managed to get back on the slopes.
"Are you alright? Long Yang asked.
"I'm fine, what's wrong with the injury on your hand?" Liao Bing'er saw Long Yang's eager appearance, remembered the scene just now, and replied calmly with a smile.
"I'm fine. Long Yang saw that the blood on his hands had stopped, and then said, "It's almost dark, we have to hurry to the place where the Blood Spirit Lotus grows before the full moon shines on the mountain." With that, the two continued to climb the rock.
As night fell, the wind and snow remained.
At this time, the dark clouds closed the moon, and there was a large protruding white rock on the mountainside, and under the white rock was a bottomless slope. There are two huge white tigers sleeping on their stomachs on the rocks, which are a female and a male snowflake flying tiger. The snowflakes fell, and the wind ruffled their long white hairs, and they blended together in the ice and snow. The female tiger Long Yang has already seen it, and the male tiger looks a little different from the female tiger, the only difference is that the male tiger has two snow-white sharp horns on his head, a bit like the horns of a unicorn.
I don't know, the female tiger's injury is healed. Long Yang thought.
"Hey, Brother Long. ”
"Well, what's the matter?"
"You've heard a rumor. ”
"What rumors?"
"The full moon shines on the mountain snow, and the blood of the spiritual lotus stains the cold. ”
"Of course I know, it is the Blood Spirit Lotus that will appear and bloom when the full moon shines on the mountain. ”
"Well, we're here for now. ”
"Good. ”
The two nodded to each other, and then quietly crouched down on the mountain road. The snow did not stop, and the two were covered by a thin layer of snow and became part of the snow-capped mountain.
I don't know how long it took, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, the full moon was high in the sky, and suddenly, a beam of bright moonlight fell from the sky and shone on the white rock protruding from the mountainside. The fur of the two white tigers became shiny and looked warm. Suddenly, a small crack opened on the ice surface of the white rock.
"Miss Liao, look!" Long Yang was startled, squatted up, and whispered. Liao Bing'er also came out of the snow, approached Long Yang, and gently shushed. The two waited and watched.
I saw a half-meter-long and glowing green branch drilled out of the white rock, and the branch instantly grew a green branch, and then the branch was full of green leaves, and then a small pale red bud appeared next to the green leaf, and the flower bud bathed in the moonlight, and the flower bud grew bigger and bigger into a large flower bud, and the color became crimson. At this moment, the moonlight was thicker, the whole branch trembled, the red light in the bud flashed, and the bud gradually turned blood red. With a crisp snap, all the blood-colored buds bloomed, and the blood-red lotus flowers shimmered with red brilliance. Suddenly, the entire white rock and white tiger and everything next to it were like a thin layer of red gauze.
This is the Blood Spirit Lotus! The red light was dazzling, and the two snowflake white tigers actually woke up and roared, and the roar continued to echo in the dead and silent mountains.
The two white tigers woke up. Liao Bing'er panicked. Long Yang held her cold hand, "It's okay, take a look." ”
At this moment, there was a bang, and two huge snowflakes splashed in the snow on both sides of the white rocks, and the thick snow quickly rolled down the slope. "Hah!" two big men jumped out of the two snowflakes. One has bent eyebrows and blue eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his name is Liu Lanxiong, holding a silver spear, and the other has a big face and a thick neck, and is full of fat, and his name is Liu Fat Dog, and he holds a pointed hook knife in each hand.
Who are these two people? I guess they're also here for the Blood Spirit Lotus. Long Yang saw Liao Bing'er's face full of anxiety.
The moonlight is like water, and the sword light is the shadow of the gun. "Ahh The two white tigers were furious, and each roared and rushed towards them.
The male tiger's wings slammed into the blue bear with its sharp horns, "Ah!" the blue bear stepped on the wall and flew away, and the silver spear was pointed directly at the male tiger. With a bang, the tip of the spear and the sharp horn collided, and the male tiger roared, instigated his wings, and pushed the blue bear out.
"Hah!" the blue bear flashed and dodged with lightning speed. With a mournful roar, the male tiger plunged deep into the snow wall with its horns, and with a snap, the snow collapsed and rolled down. But the male tiger did not fall, it roared and rushed out, the moonlight was thick, it was covered in white light, and suddenly, countless ice needles conjured up from its body and shot straight at the blue bear.
"Ahhhhh
At this time, the female tiger spreads her wings and chases the fat dog, and the fat dog drags her fat body and flies up the mountain on the rock wall. Suddenly, he froze, rolled over in the air, and slashed at the female tiger with both swords. The female tiger rushed over, and her claws just hit the blades of the two hook knives, and the female tiger screamed, and the two claws grabbed hard, and the fire broke out in an instant. The fat dog flashed into the air, the aura in his hand entered the knife, the double knife swung out to the female tiger, the two hook knives rotated and slashed, the female tiger spread her wings and fled, the hook knife opened two deep cracks in the snow wall, and with a bang, the snow scattered into the air.
Now that the wind and snow are stopping, they are fighting again, and it is the best time to capture the Blood Spirit Lotus. Long Yang thought, but Liao Bing'er had already flown over, and she was almost ready to pick flowers.
Miss Liao, alas. Long Yang was anxious and wanted to help her, when a voice came, "Don't think!" Then, a flash of inspiration came. Liao Bing'er knew that something was wrong, so she dodged and dodged to the snow wall. With a bang, the spiritual light opened a crack in the white rock, and a large piece of white stone collapsed and fell, and the blood spirit lotus was pulled and hung on the edge of the broken wall, crumbling.
Suddenly, the wind and snow roared and grew bigger and bigger, and the white snow hit the blood-red petals, melting into white water in an instant.
Who sent the aura? Long Yang and Liao Bing'er looked at the vast wind and snow in confusion. A big man flashed out of the haze, with unkempt lion hair, a face as black as ink, and hideous eyes, named Liu Heishi, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd and rushing straight at Liao Bing'er.
"Second brother!" the blue bear and the fat dog shouted to the man. Miss Liao is in danger. Long Yang recited the mantra and flew off the wall.
Liao Bing'er flashed to the broken wall and pulled out a jade sword as thin as a cicada's wings from his waist, this sword is called Yuquan, which is the heirloom sword of the Liao family. "Ahh
No! The rocks will break! Liao Bing'er stepped on the snow and flew out, Yuquan waved, the snow in the air was cut off, and the sword light flashed towards Liu Heishi. At this time, the wind and snow were fierce, Long Yang rushed to the broken rock, felt his body shaking, and thought, how can I help her?
"Hah!" Liu Heishi stabbed the sword light into two sections with the heavy Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd hit Liao Bing'er's sword fiercely. With a bang, Liao Bing'er was lightly shocked to the snow wall.
"Brother Long, take the Blood Spirit Lotus first!" Liao Bing'er saw Long Yan next to the lotus.
"Hmm. Long Yang answered.
"Hah!" Liu Heishi flew down the broken wall suddenly. The broken wall shook even more, and the Blood Spirit Lotus also trembled. Liao Bing'er flew to Long Yang's side and looked at the Blood Spirit Lotus two meters away. Liu Heishi's eyes showed a fierce light, and he approached the two of them with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand.
"Are you okay?" Long Yang held Liao Bing'er's hand tightly.
"It's fine. Liao Bing'er looked at Liu Heishi. Long Yang found that her eyes were so complicated.
No! The Blood Spirit Lotus must not fall into his hands! In the wind and snow, Liao Bing'er broke free of Long Yang's hand and rushed away. Long Yang was shocked.
"Look for death!" Liu Heishi's flying halberd stabbed away, Liao Bing'er was helpless to block it, who knows, Liu Heishi's right hand had already turned into a palm, and a pillar of red light emitted from his palm.
"Be careful..."Long Yang shouted, but Liao Bing'er had been shaken to the slope.
"Bing'er!" Long Yang jumped out regardless of himself, grabbed Liao Bing'er's hand with one hand, and grabbed the edge of the broken wall with the other, the two were suspended in the air, the wind and snow were flying, Long Yang shouted, "Miss Liao!" But she was already unconscious.
"Die, boy!" snapped, and the rock that Long Yang had grabbed was cut off.
"Ahhh
After nearly an hour, three black shadows appeared at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and they were the lion, the dog, and the bear.
"Second brother, I've got the lotus! Go back to Baishui Village." ”
"Hmm! go back to see Big Brother!"
"Let's go!"
After saying that, the three disappeared without a trace. The moonlight is beautiful, and the snow-capped mountains are still cold.
