Yan Tianxin originally remembered the ancestral teachings, the Nine Secret Realm was a forbidden place that their Jurchen people were not allowed to enter for generations, but now they have come here, as if they have fallen into an irresistible whirlpool, falling deeper and deeper, only to go all the way, it is no longer possible to turn back, she also accepts the reality, no matter what kind of curse is hidden in this secret realm, she has to accompany Luo Lie all the way, even if she is crushed, what can she do if she falls into hell forever? has come all the way from Black Tiger Ridge, and it is already God's favor to be able to live until now, and after going through danger, he has unconsciously looked down on life and death.

The door of the Ice Palace was closed, Luo Lie's right hand was attached to the cold gate, and he pushed it with all his might, thinking that the door had been frozen by ice, but he didn't expect that under a push, the door shaft rotated freely, and under the creaking sound, the door slowly opened.
A cold cold air invaded from the ice palace, Yan Tianxin was forced by this cold air, and couldn't help but shiver, Luo Lie walked in front, bearing the brunt, and was stimulated by the cold air to sneeze twice in succession.
Luo Lie found that the gate of the Ice Palace was not completely carved with ice, but with crystal, so the door shaft and door leaf had not decayed and frozen for thousands of years, and it still rotated freely. While admiring the magic of the Ice Palace, he also guessed that the identity of the master here was respected, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
Although Yan Tianxin was the owner of Lianyun Village, he had never heard of the existence of an ice palace in Tianmai Mountain, let alone the identity of the owner here. Walking into the Ice Palace, the temperature plummeted, and the two of them were already thinly dressed, but at this time they felt even more cold to the bone, and they only relied on each other to keep warm.
Luo Lie used a lighter to illuminate the main hall, but saw that the main hall was magnificent, and the huge icicles of each other were supported in the main hall, and the ice pillars were carved with dragons and flying phoenixes, lotus bases, and they were meticulously crafted. In the middle of the main hall, the royal road is carved with crystal clear lotus flowers, which means that the lotus is born step by step, there are more than 100 statues standing on both sides, it should be a military general, the body shape and demeanor all imitate the proportions of normal human beings, and the wax figures outside are different, these portraits are all carved with ice, but these portraits are all wearing clothes, because of the special environment here, but the color is dim, and there is not much change in the form.
Luo Lie stretched out his hand and touched it, some of the clothes turned into powder when he touched them, which made him a little disappointed when he was eager to find clothes to protect him from the cold, but he soon found that several of them were still as good as new after thousands of years, with a soft texture and soft fur, which was a relief for the two of them.
Luo Lie found two neat fur robes, shook off the dust, first put on for Yan Tianxin, and then put them on himself, the fur insulation performance is excellent, and the upper body was suddenly warmed a lot, most of these ice carving generals are equipped with swords, Luo Lie selected a Tang knife from it, this weapon knife type comes from the first knife of the Han ring, the blade is straight, it is the most common war knife in the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese forging process reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, as the Tang knife technology is strict, the forging is fine, considering the armor breaking and durability, the steel is extremely tough, the cutting edge is narrow and thin, the toughness is extremely strong, the iron-clad process is adopted, the wrought iron is the outer skin, the internal sandwich is made of steel, and part of the cutting edge adopts the local quenching process of covering the soil and burning the bladeThe blade is hard and can be cut through the armor, and the blade is tough and not deformed.
Japan's popular Taidao, its craft has learned advanced experience from the Tang Dynasty, and what makes people feel embarrassed is that the Chinese forging process from the Tang Dynasty's heyday, but also began to gradually decline, many crafts have been lost overseas, in foreign countries to be inherited and carried forward.
Yan Tianxin picked a scimitar and found a crossbow, she is now injured in the right shoulder, and her actions have had a great impact, so naturally she can't talk about any combat effectiveness, using this crossbow can shoot the enemy from a distance, at least it can play a role in self-preservation, she aimed at an ice sculpture in the distance, pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and with a scream, the crossbow arrow hit the ice sculpture, and the ice sculpture shattered in response, and the ice was scattered all over the ground.
Luo Lie took the horned bow from the body of an ice sculpture of a military general, pulled the bowstring, and was sure that it could be used, so he carried the longbow on his body and straddled the quiver around his waist.
The two of them stopped their equipment, looked at each other and smiled, compared to the embarrassment they were when they entered the ice palace just now, now at least they have mink fur to keep warm, and there are weapons to defend themselves, which has increased a lot of confidence, and there is a difference between heaven and earth in terms of situation alone.
The two climbed the stairs and came to the ice sculpture throne, the throne only put a puppet doll, the doll is pitch black, the head is small, the description is ugly, the round face shows a strange smile, this kind of doll is not uncommon in the local area, because there are many forests in the Pale Mountain, so the children's usual toys are mostly made of local materials, most of these toys are simple, most of them are not carvers, but although the puppet doll in front of them is ugly, the carver is extremely exquisite, the facial features are vivid, a pair of oversized eyes should be inlaid with black cat's eye gemstones, black and white, looking forward to the brilliance, as if alive, making people feel that its eyes are always looking at themselves, and its face seems to be smiling, revealing an eerie and mysterious chill.
Yan Tianxin just glanced at the doll, then twisted his pretty face to the side, showing his eyebrows slightly, feeling that his heart was extremely depressed. Although his attention was taken away from the puppet doll, the unpredictable smile on the puppet's face still echoed in his mind.
Luo Lie also felt that this puppet was unusual, it was hard to imagine the scene of a child taking such an ugly puppet doll as a pet, even the mature minds of them were disgusted and even afraid from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention the childish child, Luo Lie reached out and picked up the puppet, and it was quite heavy to start, this puppet was carved from gloomy wood, he turned the puppet over, but saw that the puppet was engraved with two bloody words on the back of the puppet - help me!
Luo Lie's heart trembled, with his strong psychological quality felt creepy, almost missed the puppet on the ground, secretly inhaled, plucked up courage, fingers touched the blood stains on the puppet's back, the tentacles were slimy, it was like fresh blood, Luo Lie poked with his fingers, and then sniffed in front of his nose, there was a smell of sandalwood, there was no smell of blood, it was speculated that these blood stains were not real, the wound should be carved with a knife, as for this blood, it is likely to be painted with some kind of paint, but because the painting is vivid, it can almost be real。
Yan Tianxin bit her lip, her beautiful eyes swept over the puppet, and whispered: "This puppet is so weird, its eyes seem to be looking at me all the time." She noticed that the puppet's eyes seemed to be watching her from beginning to end, which made her feel like she was being watched.
Luo Lie actually felt the same way, he also thought that this puppet was looking at him, the pair of eyes seemed to have life, I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the eyes were staring at him and moving slowly, he reversed the puppet and put it back on the ice sculpture throne. He Yan Tianxin turned to leave, and after taking a few steps, both of them had the feeling that a pair of eyes were peeking at them behind them, and they turned around in unison. But I saw that the ice sculpture throne was empty, and the wooden carving doll had disappeared in an instant. Yan Tianxin couldn't help but exclaim, everything in front of him was too weird, could that puppet doll really have life and move around on its own?
Although Luo Lie thought it was incredible, but he never believed that the puppet doll could walk on its own, a statue, no matter how agile the carving was, it was impossible to have real life, he held his breath, carefully searched for all the movements around him, he soon noticed that there was a suppressed and low breathing sound above his head, if he didn't listen carefully, he would ignore it, Luo Lie slowly raised his head, but saw the top of the icicle, a black shadow climbed on it, the blood-red eyes were like a burning flame, it was the ape who was blinded by Luo Lie。 The enemy's eyes were red when they saw each other, and the ape-man shook his right palm hard, and the puppet doll in the palm of his hand was crushed by it, and two points of cold light fell down, but it was the doll's eyes.
