Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Snow Clan's Lineage
The man walked quickly, returned to the clan, and informed the elders of the clan of the situation.
Many elders quickly gathered in an igloo. Such igloos are ubiquitous among the tribe because of the ease of access to materials and the ease of construction.
"My Xuelan clan has followed Gu Ancestor for many years, and the ancestor of my clan came here from abroad with Gu Zu and became one of the seven major clans of Gu Clan," an elder sighed lightly, remembering a long memory.
"yes. But with the end of the battle in the foreign land, the ancient ancestor mysteriously disappeared, the ancient clan also fell into decline, and the seven major clans also fell apart, who still remembers the glory of the ancient clan back then" Another elder whispered. The disappearance of Gu Zu was a great blow to the Gu clan, because he was the symbol and spiritual pillar of the clan.
"Over the years, the territory of our clan has been occupied by people and has shrunk dramatically, and not only that, but the clans that have been sealed down have also begun to make a move, wanting to break the ban!" said an elder angrily.
"Okay," an elder walked up to the center of the crowd, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "I have gathered everyone here today to tell him good news." Some people saw with their own eyes that the two teenagers came out of which cave"
One of the elders in the "cave" thought about it, then suddenly stood up and said, "Could it be that the prophecy that the ancestors gave up their lives to glimpse is about to be fulfilled?"
"Prophecy, what prophecy?" some elders were a little puzzled.
"After the mysterious disappearance of the Ancient Ancestor, one of the ancestors of our clan, at the cost of his own longevity, searched for hope for my clan, and finally got a glimpse of the future, so he left a prophecy," the Great Elder explained. Because many of the books that were written were lost, most of the elders were unaware of this prophecy.
"The prophecy records: One day in the future, someone will come out of which cave, and at that time the crisis faced by our people will be resolved by whom" The Great Elder said the content of the prophecy.
"What can two teenagers do?" muttered an elder.
"Which patriarch left behind the prophecy?" someone asked.
The Great Elder sighed lightly and said, "Which ancestor left this prophecy and sat down?"
"What?" the elders gasped. The price of such a prophecy is so great that it directly makes a peerless power sit down!
"Pass my command and send my people to search everywhere, and we must find those two teenagers and invite them to our people. Remember, it was the "Grand Elder who gave the order to invite the two of Gunan." The other elders didn't have the slightest objection, after all, this was the hope that the ancestors had found for the clan with their own lives!
"Gu Nan, why don't you have a single human hair here?" The little fat man was a little speechless, they had been walking for a day and a night, and they had not found any traces of life.
It's a land of ice and snow, with snowy peaks towering. Hundreds of years of snow are piled up, forming a sprawling mountain range, and there are snowflakes piled up on the surface of the mountain range into some strange shapes, some like living beings, some like vegetation, but all of them are crystal clear and transparent!
"Come and see here" Gu Nan crossed a small slope, made some discoveries, and hurriedly beckoned.
"What's wrong?" the little fat man ran over.
"I found a small tributary" Gu Nan held the ancient sword in his hand and split the ice, and immediately there was a gurgling sound of flowing water.
"You mean, if we follow this tributary, we might find other creatures?" the little fat man immediately understood.
Gu Nan nodded and said, "Where there is water, there must be living beings." We follow this tributary and maybe we can find food."
As soon as he heard the food, the little fat man finally stopped crying and mourning, and suddenly became excited, urging Gu Nan to go faster. Which tributary was winding and getting bigger, and the two of them walked all the way along which tributary, and walked for a long time, until they finally reached the end of the tributary.
What is a hundred-zhang wide river, and the surface of the river is covered with a layer of solid ice that does not know the depth!
"Do you think this ice will break, and then we will fall into the water?" Gu Nan looked at the ice under his feet, and his heart was a little stunned. It was the first time he had seen such a scene, and although it snowed heavily in winter on either side of the tribe, no river had ever been frozen nearby.
"Probably unlikely," the little fat man screamed, and then disappeared. Gu Nan turned around and saw that there was no figure of a little fat man on the ice, only a big hole.
The cold water of the river flowed out of the hole and quickly froze. Gu Nan hurriedly swung his fist, smashing the newborn ice cubes, and shouted, "Little fat man, where is it?"
"Little fat man, did you hear me?" Gu Nan leaned over the edge of the big hole and called out loudly. Time passed, and he became more and more anxious.
After such a long time of companionship, Gu Nan has already recognized the little fat man as a friend, so he doesn't want him to die like this. Gu Nan began to think of a way to rescue the little fat man, he wrapped the blade of the ancient sword in animal skin, and held the hilt of the sword in one hand to probe the ancient sword into the ice cave.
"Ha" Gunan once again shook away the river water that was about to condense into ice on the surface of the big hole, and this is the third time. Gu Nan's other hand was still holding the ancient sword, and he continued to shake it under the water.
Under the surface of the water, the tip of the ancient sword suddenly froze, and one hand grabbed the body of the ancient sword. Gu Nan's face was overjoyed, and with the force of his hand, he pulled the ancient sword out of the water.
"Poof, ha" The little fat man got out of the water, put one hand on the edge of the hole, and exhaled loudly, while saying, "Gu Nan, we have something to eat"
Gu Nan couldn't cry or laugh, and used the secret power to pull the little fat man out of the hole. I saw that the little fat man's other hand was pressed on his chest, which was a big silver-white fish about three feet long.
"It's not bad to have a grilled fish without a bear's paw," the little fat man said with a smile as he returned to the ice.
"Ahh The little fat man sneezed and shivered coldly.
"How can you roast without fire?" asked Gu Nan. The little fat man ran the secret storage in his body, and the circulation of blood and qi in his body accelerated, and the whole person was like a furnace, and the water in his robe was quickly evaporated.
"You'll find out later," the little fat man walked forward, holding the trophy. Gu Nan put away the ancient sword and hurriedly followed, and the two quickly left the frozen river.
The little fat man found a leeward and gentle place, and he bit his fingertips and traced on the ice with blood. Gu Nan removed the internal organs of the big silver-white fish and pierced it with an ancient sword. Gu Jian trembled as if he was dissatisfied with bringing it to the fish, Gu Nan patted it lightly, and Gu Jian finally calmed down.
"It's done," the little fat man's flesh hurt and immediately stopped the bleeding. Gu Nan fixed his gaze, and the faint color of blood formed a complex forbidden pattern on the ice surface. This was a forbidden pattern that Gu Nan had never seen before, and he wrote it down carefully, and it didn't take long.
"Look at it" The little fat man pinched the trick with his ten fingers, and the trick was played. Gu Nan keenly felt that there were wisps of subtle, invisible matter in the void condensing in front of the little fat man.
"Go" The little fat man snorted, and all the subtle and invisible substances gathered in front of him were poured into the faint blood-colored forbidden pattern.
"Teng" A cluster of flames suddenly rose from the forbidden pattern! Gu Nan hurriedly put the skewered silver-white big fish on the fire and roasted it, turning it from time to time.
"What's the trick?" asked Gu Nan. The mudra of which method was a bit complicated, and Gu Nan couldn't fully write it down, so there was a doubt.
"Haha, I'm amazing. Who would have thought that it would be possible to combine the Origin Technique with the Fire Forbidden Pattern?" the little fat man laughed triumphantly.
"Combining the magic trick with the forbidden pattern and using it to barbecue food, you are indeed the first one" Gu Nan was a little speechless, he felt that the little fat man seemed to be born to eat.
"Hehe" the little fat man smiled and explained, "The source introduction method is just used to sense the amount of source qi in the void. The most used of this technique is the sourcer."
"This source seeker, you will know in the future" The little fat man didn't know what to do, and instead continued to introduce, but advised: "Be careful with the roasting, the flames generated by the transformation of the fire forbidden pattern with the source qi are not comparable to those ordinary fires!"
The little fat man told carefully, and Gu Nan nodded to indicate that he knew.
