Su Wangting took out a gold ingot from his bosom and stuffed it to the lotus picking man.

The lotus-picking man was at a loss for what to do with the gold ingot: "My lord, you are ......"

"How's that? I'll take you to the iceberg in a garlic cart, and you'll lead the way. You can take the snow lotus you picked back to Kyushu to sell, and no one will rob you. ”

Hearing this, the lotus-picking man looked at his companions: "There are... Is there such a good thing? Are you sure you will use a garlic cart to send us to pick snow lotus? ”

Su Wangting nodded.

The lotus-picking man sneered: "Such a good thing, we are naturally willing to lead the way." ”

"Good. How far away is that iceberg you're talking about? ”

The lotus-picking man thought for a moment and replied, "We lotus-pickers rely on two legs, and we don't dare to go too deep into the bitter cold place. After entering the bitter cold land from the pass of the Snow Dragon Mountains, walk east along the foot of the mountain... After about 100 miles, it will be about 10 miles to the north. It takes us about two days to get there on two legs, and if it's a garlic car, it must take more than half a day. ”

"Good."

Then Su Wangting instructed a few people to put the white-haired bear in a garlic cart and send the things back to Zhuangzi, and he himself got into the carriage with the lotus pickers and rushed to Zhuangzi.

Seeing that the things were lost and recovered, Ruyan and the others were overjoyed, and shouted to get ready and go on the road immediately.

At this time, the big man asked for his resignation and wanted to return to the stone valley.

Seeing the loss on the faces of several people, Su Wangting stopped them, pondered for a moment and asked, "You... Do you still want to go back to Kyushu? ”

The big man nodded again and again: "Why don't you want to!" It's just that... After all, we killed the people of the Green Valley, but we were afraid that we would be killed if we returned. ”

Su Wangting snorted coldly and said, "This matter is wrong in the Cui Valley, and you have no choice but to kill people in order to protect yourself." It's better to help in this Zhuangzi for the time being, and when we come back from the bitter cold land, we will think of a safe place for you to go after returning to Kyushu. ”

Seeing that the blood Shura, who was dominant in Silla in the past, said this, several big men were ecstatic in their hearts, and they hurriedly agreed.

I thought that if I had the support of such a character, even if Cui Yougu found herself, I was afraid that I would have to weigh it when I did it.

After everything was ready, Ruyan asked Su Wangting why he used two garlic carts.

Su Wangting only said that after entering the bitter cold land, he would first go to a place with the lotus pickers, and then go to Nuanzhou to meet the pavilion master after finishing the matter.

Ruyan didn't ask much, took out a bamboo whistle and handed it to Su Wangting.

He also said that these white-haired bears are trained, and as long as they hear the bamboo whistle after entering the bitter cold land, they will move in the direction of Nuan Chau, and they can only nest in the garlic car to keep warm, and do not have to brave the cold to sit outside the canopy and drive.

After hearing this, Su Wangting smiled: "What a convenient means." It's just that these white-haired bears are only trained to go to Nuanzhou on their own, and the place where a few of us go is afraid that we still have to drive next to the cold. ”

When the lotus picking man heard this, his chest thumped: "This time, we don't have to trek step by step, thank God!" Adults, please rest assured, there are several of us who take turns driving, and adults only warm up in the car. ”

While speaking, it was already dark, and Su Wangting asked if he would set off again tomorrow.

But Ruyan smiled and said that if you go further north, the brighter the sky will be, and after entering the bitter cold land, it is half a year's day, and you only rest in the garlic car all the way, there is no need to waste this night's time.

So after everyone ate a hot soup in the village, two garlic carts with white-haired bears left the village and headed north.

Ryohara is big and terrible.

To the west, you can go directly to the desert of the Western Regions.

To the east, you can reach the East China Sea.

It spans more than 20,000 miles from east to west.

Although the span between the north and south is not as exaggerated as that of the east and west, it takes about 1,200 miles to reach the Snow Dragon Mountain Range at the junction with the bitter cold land.

Coupled with the fact that the white-haired bear could not travel as fast as a horse, it took ten days for two garlic carts to appear at the foot of the tall Snow Dragon Mountains.

Su Wangting looked up at the majestic snow-capped mountains and sighed at its height and majesty, but he quickly retracted into the car.

Because of the cold wind blowing from the pass, the skin can almost be cut.

The two garlic carts entered the pass one after the other, and after touching about thirty miles, the vision suddenly opened up.

As far as the eye can see, it is all snow-white.

Endless snow white.

The first time you see this scene, you will inevitably panic.

It's like floating in the middle of the ocean, and you don't feel a sense of landing.

Bitter Cold Land.

Ruyan braved the cold and rushed into Su Wangting's car, stuffed him with a set of animal skin jackets to protect him from the cold, and told him to rush to Nuanzhou as soon as possible.

After entering the bitter cold land, the white-haired bear seemed to be at home and looked much happier, and the speed of its progress in the snow was much faster than in the cool plains.

Half a day later, the garlic cart stopped.

Su Wangting wrapped himself in a big jacket, got out of the car, and looked around at several icebergs in front of him.

Although it is called an iceberg, it is far from the size of a mountain, and it is more appropriate to call it a huge ice lump. It is composed entirely of ice, and the inside is crystal clear, without a trace of sand.

The lotus picker man said that he was lucky today, but he didn't encounter a snowy day.

Although the yellow-white sun hangs overhead, you can't feel the temperature that the sun should have. It will only make you feel more dazzling in this white expanse.

But this is a rare good weather in the bitter cold.

"Where did you see the fluorescence in the first place?" Su Wangting asked.

When the lotus-picking man heard this, he immediately climbed to the side of an iceberg with his hands and feet, and pointed to his feet: "This is exactly the place." As I recall, the fluorescence should not be deep, otherwise we would never have been able to detect it. ”

Su Wangting nodded, and asked them to go to find Snow Lotus by themselves, and they swept up the mountainside.

Wiped away the thick layer of snow, revealing a body of hard, clear ice.

Su Wangting lay down, approached the ice, and looked inward.

After a while, Su Wangting stood up.

Nothing was found.

Glancing at the big sun in the sky, Su Wangting understood that if it weren't for the dark night under the moonlight, it would be difficult to find the location of the fluorescent cloud in this huge iceberg.

You have to see the fluorescence with your own eyes.

But at this time, it was half a year-long day, and there was no fluorescence to be seen.

Looking at the lotus pickers at the foot of the iceberg who were cheering for the just found a snow lotus, Su Wangting was at a loss.

"Hey!! Are you sure this is it?? ”

The lotus-picking man at the foot of the mountain heard Su Wangting's shout, hurriedly climbed up, and nodded firmly: "Yes!" That fluorescence came from under the feet of the adult! ”

"Tsk......"

Su Wangting frowned and stared at his feet.

"Why don't you try it?"

"Hard?" The lotus-picking man looked at Su Wangting with a puzzled face.

Su Wangting took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist.

Rarely did he draw his sword so slowly.

Even if the knife is drawn, very few people can see the true face of the knife.

Surprisingly, this long knife, which had earned him the names of "Blood Shura" and "Jade-Faced Demon Knife", looked dilapidated.

I saw that this knife was not only rusty, but also full of chips of different sizes on the blade!

It's almost like a piece of scrap metal!

"Big... My lord, your knife is so corroded, isn't it because you don't take care of it on weekdays? ”

Su Wangting said lightly: "It's just a murder weapon, what is there to maintain." ”

The lotus-picking man was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Look at these gaps in the blade, could it be that adults often split stones?" ”

Su Wangting glanced at him and said softly, "Human bones are also very hard. ”

When the lotus picker heard this, his feet slipped and he almost fell.

These notches are formed by splitting bones for a long time!?

Looking at the dense gap in the blade, the lotus-picking man swallowed.

One can imagine how many people died under this knife!!

At this time, Su Wangting said softly: "Take your companions and dodge, and stay away from this ice lump." ”

Although the lotus-picking man didn't know what Su Wangting was going to do, he faintly smelled a hint of danger from this terrifying long knife, so he quickly jumped off the iceberg and pulled his companion away from it.

"Hah!!"

Su Wangting suddenly shouted!

A powerful wave of air erupted from all around the body, shaking the snow covering the iceberg into the sky.

Su Wangting held the long knife behind his hands and slowly raised it above his head.

His fierce gaze was fixed on the ice beneath his feet.

"Ha !!"

Shout again!

The long knife stabbed at the ice under his feet!

The falling snow was shaken back into the air by the air waves that burst out again!

Su Wangting knelt on one knee, his hands still clutching the hilt of the knife.

The long knife, on the other hand, has completely submerged in the ice.

After a moment of silence, only a faint rumbling sound could be heard coming from within the iceberg.

Gradually, Su Wangting's feet began to tremble slightly, and as the rumbling sound became louder and louder, the trembling under his feet became more and more intense.

Suddenly, Su Wangting pulled out his long knife violently, snorted softly, and swept it high.

"Boom!!"

Snow and dust.

The lotus picker and his companions all cried out in amazement, panicked and dodged the falling ice.

This snow-capped mountain collapsed in half in an instant!!

landed, Su Wangting also put the knife into the sheath.

When the snow settled, I saw the section of the iceberg that was only half left, and the light blue crystal ice reflected the dazzling sunlight.

"Your Excellency, look !!"

The lotus picker suddenly pointed to the section and screamed.

Su Wangting, who was dusting off the ice and snow on his body, was stunned and looked at the fingers of the lotus-picking man.

I saw that in the section of the iceberg, there seemed to be a black shadow!

"That's?" Su Wangting frowned.

At this time, the lotus picking man shouted again: "My lord, that... Seems to be a person!! ”

"People!?"

Su Wangting was startled, and hurriedly swept over, looking at the ice body with his face against the iceberg.

"Uh-huh!??"

Su Wangting gasped, and the hairs on his body suddenly exploded!

Then a cold sweat slid down his cheeks.

It's people!!

Inside the iceberg, there is a man sitting cross-legged in the freeze!!

"People who froze to death?"

Su Wangting took a deep breath and looked at the ice again.

But this time, when he looked closely, he felt more and more incredible.

The man inside the iceberg looked lifelike, showing no signs of dehydration or decay, and his calm facial expression seemed as if he had just fallen asleep.

"The lotus picker who died in the blizzard?" The lotus picker and his companions also came over.

Su Wangting shook his head slowly: "Not like that." Look at what this person is wearing. ”

The lotus-picking man looked at it on the cross-section, nodded and said, "It really doesn't look like a lotus-picker." When we lotus pickers came to this bitter cold place, we must have been wrapped in thick clothes to keep out the cold, but this person was dressed in seemingly thin clothes. ”

Su Wangting added: "It's still a very fine and exquisite garment. ”

The lotus picker man sighed: "I don't know how many years this person has been frozen here. Hey, just like us hard-working lotus pickers, we don't know when we can't go back, and we will be frozen in this bitter cold land forever. ”

Su Wangting said with a smile: "That's what I said, don't be greedy for this wealth, and no one will force you to come to this ghost place." ”

"Hehe, isn't this so that the mother-in-law and children in the family can live a better life." The lotus-picking man sneered.

Su Wangting stared at the man in the ice body and muttered, "Could it be... Does the green fluorescence you see relate to this person? ”

The lotus-picking man shook his head again and again: "Impossible! If it is said that in the graves in the mountains of the south, it is still said that there are occasional green ghost fires in the summer, but this corpse does not decompose at all, and it is frozen in the iceberg, how can it shine? ”

"That's right." Su Wangting touched his chin, his brows twisted into pimples, "But what is that green light you see?" ”

When Su Wangting was pacing back and forth and pondering, he only heard a "plop" sound.

Su Wangting turned his head to look, and saw the lotus-picking man sitting on the ground, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his face turned white with the naked eye.

"What's wrong with you?"

The lotus picking man's lips trembled, and he stretched out his trembling hand to point to the iceberg section.

"What's the matter, I'm surprised." Su Wangting looked back at the iceberg section along his fingers suspiciously.

But this look, Su Wangting buzzed in his head!!

"It's... This is!? ”

I saw that the man who was frozen in the ice opened his eyes at some point!!

"Hell... Ghost ......"

The lotus picking man rolled his eyes and was frightened and fainted.
