The remarks about the Immortals seemed to stop there, and the three of them stood silently, not speaking for a long time.

There was still no wind, the wind was frozen to death, and now Han Chuang understood that the feeling of the wind before was just an illusion, what a lovely illusion.

In the past, he would never have thought that illusion was possible, but after experiencing the gesture of frozen, he realized that the wind was so possible, whether it was warm or wild, it was something worth looking forward to, and at this moment, he could only stare at the Snow Maiden, waiting for the final verdict.

A difficult wait, the meeting of eyes is like another kind of confrontation, all the grievances are hidden, as if to completely knock the other party down and control the other party's thinking.

Even Nie Qingqing felt that the atmosphere was wrong, she wanted to interject, speak, and try to break this strange tranquility, but when the words came to her mouth, there seemed to be a kind of power and suppressed breath - she couldn't say a word, and even a move was a fortunate thing.

I don't know how long it took, the Snow Maiden finally smiled and said: "Everything is just your imagination, there is no such puppet in the world, and it is impossible to create such a puppet, you just think arbitrarily by imagination, there is no actual evidence." ”

"That's right," Han Chuang said with a smile, "I really don't have any evidence. He couldn't help but think of the earth in his previous life, even in that era of highly advanced technology, it did not solve the problem of robot intelligence, not to mention this era that was still stuck in the martial arts society, maybe it was the saints who pointed them out a wrong path, and they went on without doubt.

Han Chuang laughed, sneering and cold.

The Snow Girl's eyes lit up, and she said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will leave you?" The whole body suddenly stirred up strength, the black hair was blowing in the wind, and those dark green fungi were shaking wildly, like ghosts of tree branches under the storm.

Nie Qingqing hid behind Han Chuang, Han Chuang patted her on the shoulder, signaled that she was okay with a gentle smile, then turned her head and said calmly to the Snow Girl, "You won't." ”

"I will!" Snow Maiden's strength increased a point, the wind was stronger, and it was as cold as a knife.

Han Chuang shook his head and let the cold wind blow on his body.

"You won't. He repeated, both in demeanor and in tone, exactly the same as before.

"I will!" the Snow Maiden's tone changed, and she looked a little cowardly, but this cowardice was hidden in the tough, imperceptible corner.

Han Chuang laughed again, "I said, you won't, because you've been shaken." ”

He saw the wavering in the eyes of the Snow Girl, and saw the precursor of the collapse of his faith, what a sad thing, thousands of years of faith were destroyed in this dynasty, and it was difficult for Han Chuang to accept it.

He laughed, sarcastic and cold, cold and warm, and the cold wind around him seemed to be twisted into a gentle warm wind, wandering comfortably.

"You know that what I said is right, at least there is a possibility, and you also understand that it is impossible to attain immortality through martial arts cultivation, and the deeper your cultivation, the clearer you will understand this. ”

The wind finally stopped, replaced by the heavy gasps of the Snow Maiden, and she looked at Han Chuang with an almost vicious, malicious look, if her gaze could kill people, Han Chuang would have been slashed by a thousand knives.

He smiled again, no different from the previous smile: "Give up." He caressed the face of the Snow Maiden, feeling the vividness and vividness of youth, he knew that in the near future, these things would disappear, and he knew that there could be no immortality in this world.

The so-called immortality is just a heavenly moat set by a saint, and the purpose of martial arts is never to live forever, he clearly knows this.

The wind finally calmed down completely, and the Snow Maiden's amazing strength that lingered around her body also dissipated, her long black hair slowly drooped and neatly tied on the back of her head, and the ink-colored fungus plants also regained their initial quietness, and they were succumbed to the cracks in the ice wall.

All the madness and restlessness is like a nightmare, and when you wake up, it's all over.

The Snow Girl sighed, looked at Han Chuang with a complicated expression, and after a long time, finally spoke: "It would be nice if I could meet you a thousand years earlier." ”

Han Chuang smiled, a gentle smile, "If you had met me earlier, you would have died by now." ”

The Snow Maiden said: "I'd rather die, it's better for my body to turn into ashes than to be trapped in this weird cage." ”

Han Chuang shook his head and said, "If you choose your lifespan, you should accept the punishment of losing your freedom." ”

"I know. The Snow Maiden said, "But I'm not reconciled, why didn't I understand what you said at that time, but for the sake of the so-called immortality, I had to restrain half of my body freedom," she looked at Han Chuang, with obscure tears in the corners of her eyes, "Do you know? I have never been to a warm place, I have never seen a hundred flowers blooming, the scene of the Holy Spirit everywhere, I have never seen a wide green leaf, I have never seen a normal lake, my eyes only have ice and snow, only mountains, only endless deep cold deep sea. ”

"You're a poor man. Han Chuang never shy away from saying, "But it's still too late to go out, with your strength, no one can stop you." ”

If he had just suspected before, after that moment just now, he could already clearly feel the power of the Snow Maiden, stronger than the immortals in the book, stronger than Huang Yao, and more powerful than the Nether Ghost King.

Her strength even exceeds the combined strength of the previous three guards, such a person wants to go out, no one can stop him, at least that's what he thinks.

But the Snow Girl shook her head and said softly, "It's late, it's too late." She looked around with an inexplicable sadness in her eyes, "Do you see these fungi?"

Han Chuang nodded.

Snow Maiden continued, "They are the things that the man used to bind me, I am very powerful, even on a par with him, but these fungal rattans bind my body, making it impossible for me to step out of the land of eternal winter. ”

Han Chuang was silent, he understood that what the Snow Girl said was true, these rattans had been fused with it, and if she wanted to leave, she had to cut them off completely, and if she cut them off, she would die.

A cleverly conceived trap that is impeccable.

The Snow Maiden suddenly laughed and said softly, "Okay, don't worry about me, I'm used to life here." She looked at Han Chuang with a smile in her eyes, "Aren't you going up to the fourth floor of the pagoda?" ”

Han Chuang said, "What's on the fourth floor?"

The Snow Maiden shook her head, "I don't know, I'm not interested in knowing what is being held on the fourth floor of the pagoda, and I'm not interested in knowing what mistakes he has made. ”

Han Chuang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The Snow Maiden smiled: "Don't you understand, my pursuit of immortality is a mistake, and the pursuit of immortality in the following book is not a mistake, and the pursuit of sobriety in the netherworld at the bottom is even more of a mistake, and we are all at fault, so we are imprisoned in the pagoda." ”

"For thousands of years, the pagoda has been different from before. ”

"What does this mean?" Nie Qingqing suddenly asked.

The Snow Girl glanced at her with a smile and said softly: "Human beings will die when the time comes, vegetables and fruits will deteriorate when the time comes, and the pagoda will change when the time comes." ”

Han Chuang chuckled in his heart and thought of something. Before entering the pagoda, the monk once said to him: "Sealing the heart demon is a thing that must be done, but it may not succeed. ”

"Why?"

"If the pagoda is still the original pagoda, if the evil does not prevail over the good, you will naturally succeed, but I am afraid that the demon in my heart has already controlled the pagoda. ”

"This can't be, isn't the pagoda used to suppress the demons in the heart?"

Han Chuang still remembered that at this point, the monk was silent for a long time before saying: "You don't understand, in short, it is possible for the heart demon to control the pagoda, but it is possible, I am not sure." ”

At that time, Han Chuang didn't understand the meaning of not being a monk, but now that he saw the Snow Maiden, he understood a little, the heart demon may have really controlled the pagoda, and all the guardians were the chess pieces he used to control the pagoda.

He aroused the deepest desires in their hearts, and used them to control them, even if someone like Snow Maiden could see through their desires later, it would be a boat.

He suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, as if there were a pair of eyes in the darkness watching him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Nie Qingqing's voice pulled him back to reality.

He looked back at the girl's smiling face, "It's nothing. ”

Nie Qingqing pouted and said unhappily: "Then what are you doing in a daze? Sister Snow Girl is going to help you open the passage." ”

Han Chuang looked at the Snow Girl differently, "Now?" he said in a ghostly manner.

"Don't you want to leave early?" said Snow Maiden with a smile on her lips.

"Think, think, of course. Han Chuang said hesitantly.

The Snow Girl shook her head, she saw that Han Chuang had something in her heart, but she didn't break it, if there was anyone who could give them freedom to those trapped in the pagoda, it was the person in front of her.

He is not strong enough, but it doesn't matter, it never takes strong strength to defeat the demons in her heart, more importantly, the heart, she can feel the strength of the little man in front of her, which can never be described by tenacity.

"Here we go. She closed her eyes slightly, and her hands danced.

Her dancing movements are not big, but they are very beautiful, and the two slender palms are like two fluttering butterflies, which make people look at it and can't help but be stupid.

The Snow Maiden suddenly opened her eyes, her hands were raised high, spread out left and right, and the cold lake under her feet shook violently.

"What's wrong??" Nie Qingqing said in a panic.

Han Chuang patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, the passage is under the lake." ”

The Snow Maiden smiled: "That's right, the passage is under the cold lake, and without my approval, no one can pass through this cold lake."

As he spoke, the lake parted in the middle, revealing a passage at the end of which was a bronze gate.

"Let's go. Snow Girl said.

Han Chuang nodded, pulling Nie Qingqing and jumping into the lake. As soon as his feet touched the bottom, he immediately knew that this was a passage dug out by hand, and the ground under his feet was very smooth and smooth, and the lake water was constantly falling down on both sides, still braving cold, but he did not feel cold in the passage.

Han was unhappy to break in, but did not pause, and one came to the bronze door. The door is carved with a serpentine pattern, which communicates with the texture of the back of the Snow Maiden's hand.

"How am I going to open him. He shouted.

"Put your hand on the bronze and push it away. Snow Maiden said.

Han Chuang did as he said, the bronze door slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot out of the door, he subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and did not let go until his eyes adapted, and then he still couldn't see the world behind the door clearly.

"What's that?" he asked.

"A world much better than the Land of Eternal Winter. Snow Girl said.

Han Chuang shook his head with a smile and said to Nie Qingqing, "Let's go." ”

"Yes. ”

The two stepped through the door, the light engulfing their bodies.

The Snow Girl watched the backs of the two disappear, and sighed inexplicably, "What should come will always come." ”

There was some kindness in her eyes, but also a little sadness, as if intertwined with an indescribable complexity, and the next moment, she began to grow old rapidly, her long black hair quickly changed from black to white in a very short period of time, and her originally smooth face was full of wrinkles in the blink of an eye.

Her originally round face has become angular because of the rapid weight loss. Her eyes and face began to darken, as if from color to black and white, losing their original color.

Her skin was withered like old bark, and her body was emaciated as if she were about to die.

"What should come will always come!" her mouth opened and closed slightly, revealing her bare gums.

The snow-white satin garment, blown by the cold wind, was swaying slightly, and this was probably the only thing that could prove that she was still alive.

Han Chuang and Nie Qingqing didn't know what was happening behind them, they were submerged in the light, their eyes seemed to be temporarily blind, only a ball of golden light remained, and when they regained their sight, they found that they were in a palace with brilliant gold coins.

"Where is this?" Nie Qingqing subconsciously asked, the sides of her body were full of treasures like a hill, she couldn't help but want to touch it with her hands to see if it was true, at this moment, a thick and stern male voice sounded: "Don't move! Don't move any treasures here!"

Nie Qingqing was stunned, the voice was obviously coming from behind her, but she didn't feel that there was someone behind her.

Han Chuang touched her arm, motioned her to turn back, and when she looked back, she saw a fluctuation in the air, and a long-bearded old man appeared, this old man was dressed in a jeweled style, not to mention the big red robe, and the edge was also hooked with gold wire, and the pattern in the center was also inlaid with gems, wearing a long-eared official hat, and a moment of green opal in the center, and a pair of cloud-climbing boots under his feet, the edge was obviously outlined with high-quality Tianzhu silk.

Such a gorgeous outfit made Nie Qingqing a little confused for a while, not to mention, he was still looking at himself with fierce eyes.

"Who are you!" Nie Qingqing shouted.

The old man stroked his long beard and said proudly, "Can't you see who I am?"

Nie Qingqing shook his head, "I know who you are?"

The old man's eyes widened with an incredulous expression, "Think about it, you must have seen me." As he spoke, he straightened his waist and made a tall posture.

Nie Qingqing and Han Chuang glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Why are you doing this, the God of Wealth has never seen it!" shouted the old man, conjuring a golden whip out of nowhere and holding it in his hand, and at the same time making a straight look.

Nie Qingqing let out an "oh" and still shook his head, "I haven't seen you." She shook her head firmly.

It's ridiculous to talk about the God of Wealth with warriors, they never care about money, and naturally they don't care about any God of Wealth, if it's ordinary people, there is still a possibility of concerning.

The old man, who claimed to be the god of wealth, looked angry, blowing his beard and glaring at him.

Han Chuang naturally stood in front of Nie Qingqing and saluted: "Senior, dare to ask if this is the fourth layer of the Linglong Pagoda. ”

"Ahem. The old man coughed twice, silently chanting harmony and wealth in his mouth, and only replied after a while: "That's right, this is the Eastern Regions Treasure Mountain on the fourth floor of the Linglong Pagoda, and I am the God of Wealth of Baoshan." As he spoke, he glared at Nie Qingqing viciously.

Nie Qingqing tilted his head to the side, but ignored it.

Han Chuang smiled bitterly in his heart, and said, "Lord God of Wealth, you should be able to guess what we are here for, and please open the door to the fifth layer for them." ”

This was originally a polite sentence, even Han Chuang himself didn't think the old man would do it, but he didn't want the old man to just smile, and said softly: "If you want to go up, no problem!"

Han Chuang's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when he heard the old man continue: "But I have one condition. ”

Nie Qingqing pouted and said disdainfully: "I knew you had a request, let's say, what are the requirements." She had no affection for the Guardian, only that there was a ruthlessness hidden in his amiable expression.

The God of Wealth snorted coldly, pointed to the several golden mountains in front of the palace and said, "It's no problem for you to enter the next floor, but every time the old man opens the passage, he will consume a huge amount of energy, and he needs a high-grade cat's eye gem to recover." ”

"It's obviously greedy for money, what excuse are you looking for? Nie Qingqing muttered quietly.

The God of Wealth could not hear it, and continued: "Go and get ten high-quality cat's eye gems out, and I will let you pass." Pointing to the gem on the hat, he said: "That's it, be bright green, without flaws, don't use inferior goods to fool the old man." ”

"You-" Nie Qingqing was about to speak, but was grabbed by Han Chuang, only to hear him say: "Got it, ten high-grade cat's eye gems, right, we know, I'm going to get it for you." ”

The God of Wealth smiled coldly and said: "Young man, don't talk big, but cat's eye gems are not easy to come by, don't look at the four gold mountains in front of you, but it is not easy to find ten gems from them, each of this gold mountains contains monsters, in the process of finding gems, these monsters will attack you." ”

Nie Qingqing snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Monsters? ”

"Bold!" The God of Wealth glared at him, and said angrily: "Do you know what kind of monsters those are? It's the beckoning cat that the old man and I specially kept in captivity, if you dare to hurt them, the old man wants you to pay for your life!"

Nie Qingqing snorted coldly: "Then you tell them not to attack me." ”

The God of Wealth became hesitant, and after a while, he said, "If I can control them, what do you need to do in there?" Then, as if thinking of something, he quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, you get me back the gem, and you must not hurt my beckoning cat, and I will send you upstairs." ”
