The three of them walked together, but their concerns were very different.

Ying is also concerned with the situation of the empire. Although she was very angry at Ying Dangdang's approach, she did not want to see Ying Dare Dang fail, let alone see the empire collapse and Xianyang slaughtered. In her consciousness, the empire and the Ying family are one.

Mowgli does not care about the survival of the empire. For him, the empire is long overdue. Ying Ruoyong is not a good bird, and Ying Ruoyong is also not a good person. It is not impossible to change Xiahou Mengde to be the emperor. As for who is the great teacher, he doesn't care, whether it's Ying Ziqing or Ling Hu Minzhi, it won't affect his interests.

He came to Xianyang because of his curiosity about Linghu Minzhi and his curiosity about the Linghu family.

In addition, it is also a good experience to be able to see the empire's 10,000-mile territory from a bird's-eye view. But when the initial novelty passed, he gradually discovered some problems.

When he was in Tianshuyuan, in order to exercise his coordination ability, he used to read a large number of books, including some geography books, and some pure literary works, such as travelogues. At that time, he didn't pay attention, but now that he has seen the scenery all the way, he naturally compares it with those articles.

The article is not reality, there must be some gaps, so he didn't pay much attention to it at first. But when he walked through half the empire, he felt the problem.

Those mountains that were once towering, now many have collapsed. Many of those rivers that were once wide have dried up. The forests that once stretched for thousands of miles were sparse and sparse, and large swaths of trees were dead and decaying.

If it's like this in one or two places, it's excusable, and if it's like this everywhere, then it's wrong.

Mowgli naturally remembered Sun Moon Lake. When He Ying Yiran came out of Zifu Mountain, he felt very strange, but he didn't think about it at that time. Now it's all connected. He realized that the problem might be more serious than he thought.

What is the empire compared to the vitality of the entire continent?

Hearing Wuji's worries, Ying Yiran was also frightened. She thinks from a different angle than Mowgli. She had read history and knew that several crises in empires in history were related to climate, and that in the event of a large-scale natural disaster, the stability of the empire would be affected. Although it does not shake the foundations of the empire, the impact cannot be ignored. At that time, Xianyang will secretly strengthen vigilance in case of accidents.

What kind of natural disaster would it be if there was a problem with the vitality of the entire continent?

"Let's look elsewhere. Ying Yiran proposed: "After all, what we see now is only a small part of the empire. Counting the south of the divide, it is less than half. Maybe it's just scabies. ”

Wuji didn't refute, although he felt that Ying was comforting himself. Even if the place they saw was less than half of the empire, this part was the vital part of the entire continent, and it was not at all a disease of scabies that could be described.

The three of them discussed a little, left Xianyang alone, and went all the way north.

With a concern in their hearts, Wuji and the others looked more carefully. What they saw made their hearts tremble. The further north you go, the more desolate it is, and it has just crossed Taihang not long ago. They saw scattered ice fields, and less than a thousand miles to the north, there were more and more ice fields, and they gradually joined together.

A rough estimate. More than one-third of the empire is covered in snow and ice.

Ying was also shocked and inexplicable. "Why haven't the Phoenix Dance Legion and the Tiger Bu Legion reported such an anomaly?"

"Maybe it was debriefed, but no one cared. Wuji said in a deep voice: "Xianyang is thousands of miles away, and for most people, life and death outside Xianyang." It's not their concern at all. ”

Lin Ziyue rarely expressed her opinion. "Where do you need to be thousands of miles away, the Hubu Army has arrived in Gyeonggi, and Xianyang is still drunk and dreaming of death. Singing and dancing. In my opinion, I'm afraid that when Xiahou Mengde's soldiers entered Xianyang, they didn't wake up. ”

"Mowgli, what should I do?" Ying Yiran looked at Mowgli for help.

"Don't worry, the mainland is not human, and even if it declines, there will be no obvious changes in a year or two. Let's not rush to conclusions, go further north and take a look at the Sea of Darkness. There is the northernmost point of the continent, and it is the legs of the great god Pangu. The cold starts from the feet, and these cold qi are also likely to be born from the Xuan Ming Sea. ”

After Wuji finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Ying Yiran's waist, turned into a streamer, and disappeared into the sky.

"Brother, wait for me. Lin Ziyue shouted, chased after him, and the two streamers swept across the sky side by side, galloping towards the extreme north.

......

In a temple covered in ice and snow, the twenty-fourth emperor of Great Qin, Ying Ruoyong, quietly poked his head out and looked at the northern sky with awe. He was too far away to recognize who it was, but he knew that the realm of these three people was extremely high, and he could not match. Friend or foe were unknown, and he didn't dare to show his face, for fear of accidentally offending the other party and causing unwarranted disaster.

A few months of exile made the once high Son of Heaven know the fear, and he also had a deeper understanding of the changes brought about by strength.

He wrapped himself tightly in his tattered high priest's robe, walked out of the temple, squinted his eyes, made his way, and walked south in the white sun.

In the temple behind him, the high priest and two servants, who had been dead for many days, fell in front of the altar, naked, but the expressions on their faces were as vivid as yesterday. After arduous cultivation, Ying Ruoyong once again stepped into the Xuan Realm and killed several high priests of the Border Temple, which was a small task for him.

It's just that he's a little dazed. He didn't know how long he had been sitting in the Tower of Loneliness, he only knew that the snow in front of him was even more endless than before he entered the tower. In his memory, northern Xinjiang has been getting colder over the years, and the ice line has been moving southward year by year, more than ten miles a year, and as little as two or three miles. At this rate, he felt like he had been sitting in the Tower of Loneliness for at least ten years.

Only in this way can the change in his realm be explained.

......

Mowgli retracted his body and landed on a field of ice as smooth as a mirror.

He looked around and said uncertainly, "This is the Xuan Ming Sea?"

Ying is also not sure. She had never been to the Xuan Stygian Sea, and had only seen relevant records from books. According to the direction and distance, this should indeed be the location of the Xuan Hades Sea. But there was no sea in front of me, only an ice field, an ice field that was unbelievably flat.

She realized that this might be the frozen Stygian Sea.

However, it is clearly said in the history books that the Xuan Ming Sea is an unfrozen sea.

Ying Yiran clenched her arms, her teeth chattering. Although she had successfully entered the ninth order of the Xuan Realm, she still felt cold and biting. Every breath is like piercing countless steel needles into the nose and lungs, freezing all the internal organs.

If it weren't for Wuji helping her all the time, she doubted how long she could hold up in such a place.

Lin Ziyue didn't care at all, she stood on tiptoe and had a lot of fun on the ice field.

"Even the Xuan Ming Sea has been frozen, and the situation is not optimistic. Mowgli shook his head.

"Why is this happening?" Ying Yiran said, not knowing whether to ask Wuji or talk to herself.

"I don't know. Mowgli said. A deep melancholy flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know why there was such a serious problem in the mainland, he was not as surprised as Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue. As far as he knows, any environment can have periodic changes, and the Earth he is on has periodic ice ages, and if this is another Earth, it would not be surprising that such a thing would occur.

But he didn't think it would be that simple, after all, this was not the Earth he was familiar with. Human society can change, but the terrain cannot be so different. All the way from the south to the far north, he saw almost the entire continent. It is certain that the continent named after Pangu is not the Earth in his memory.

He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he might not be able to solve this problem alone.

He needs more help.

"Let's go back. It's so cold here. Ying's teeth were fighting, and his face turned blue from the cold.

"Okay, let's go back. Wuji waved to Lin Ziyue, who was sliding on the ice with his hands behind his back. motioned for her to take Ying Yiran's other hand. Lin Ziyue blinked, but still obediently stretched out her hand. The two hands were held with Wuji and Lin Ziyue respectively, and the two strong vitality poured into the body. The fire was great, and Ying Yiran's face returned to ruddy.

"Thank you, Ziyue. ”

"Hee-hee. Lin Ziyue chuckled and glanced at Wuji proudly.

Wuji looked worried, looked around, and walked forward. Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue were a little strange, Wuji didn't go south, but went farther north, I don't know what the intention was. They didn't ask, though, and just followed closely.

Wuji took the two of them against the wind. The weather on the ice field is unpredictable, just a sunny day, suddenly it is overcast, the wind is howling, rolling up the overwhelming ice and snow, making people unable to open their eyes. If it weren't for the three of them holding hands, they would probably have been blown away by this gale.

The wind was howling, I don't know how long it had been blowing, and when the wind and snow gradually dispersed, Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue found themselves standing on an ice peak.

Wuji was still holding Ying Yiran's hand, standing at the top of the ice peak, looking into the distance.

In front of them, there was a vast sea of clouds, only the constantly tumbling clouds, boundless. The sun without heat shone behind them, casting their shadows above the clouds as if it were right behind them.

"Where is this?"

"It should be the left foot of the Pangu God. Mowgli turned around and pointed to a mountain peak looming in the sea of clouds. "We were standing on his big toe, and there was his second toe. There were also three toes further away, just blocked by the clouds and we couldn't see them. ”

"Then we ......"

"Heaven is full of water, and we start from his springs. Wuji clenched Ying Yiran's hand. "Are you ready?"

Ying Yiran held her breath. She already understood what Mowgli meant. Back then, she and Wuji followed the great master and walked underground for more than a month, from Tiangen Mountain to Zifu Mountain. Now, she is going to go further with Wuji, and no one knows when she can finish it or if she can finish it.

She doesn't regret it, though. Because she knows that if the continent cannot be saved, the empire cannot be saved, maybe for decades, maybe for hundreds of years, the entire continent will be covered with ice and snow, and everyone will freeze to death. The continent will be completely deprived of life.

"Ready. ”

"I was ready for a long time. Lin Ziyue said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Wuji took a step forward, pulled Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue, jumped off the ice cliff together, and fell into the tumbling sea of clouds.

......

Gai Hong held the giant sword, dragging his heavy steps, moving forward step by step.

Her lips were chapped and her face was dark, and her hair, which had not been washed for days, had become clumps and were scattered over her face, covering half of her face. The clothes on his body were scraped by tree branches, and bloody wounds were exposed in many places.

She didn't know where this was, she didn't know what time it was, she only knew that she kept going, every mountain crossing, every mountain crossing, every mountain stream, no matter how deep and rapid the water was, she didn't shy away from walking in.

Countless times, she fell down the mountain and fell with a blue nose and swollen eyes.

Countless times, she was swept away by the rushing water and drowned to the point of dying.

But each time, she miraculously stood up and continued to walk. No matter what obstacles are in front of her, she will move forward and never retreat.

Her strength was exhausted, her mind was blurred, she couldn't even feel her legs and feet, just moving forward mechanically.

Finally, she fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the wind and rain blow.

A wild beast passed by, looking at the sleeping Gai Hong from a distance, and slowly left.

A bird landed on a nearby tree, and when it saw Gai Hong, which was one with the earth, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Ants climbed up to Gai Hong's face, crawled into her hair, and crawled out again, continuing to look for their own food.

I don't know how long it took, but Gaihong, who had been buried by weeds and fallen leaves, suddenly moved. She raised her head, opened her eyes, clenched her fists, stood up, stretched her arms hard, and screamed: "Mowgli-"

Her tattered clothes were torn by her, like two battle flags, whistling in the wind.

The whistling sound was shrill, like an invisible sword, echoing through the valley.

The wild beasts looked around in panic, the birds spread their wings and flew in shock, the dead trees were windless, the branches and leaves were scattered, and the weeds were fluttering and flying all over the sky.

In the grass, a giant sword was exposed, and the dirt on it was shaken off, revealing a broad blade and a thick hilt. At the hilt of the sword, there are two quaint seals: Juque.

Gai Hong saw the giant sword, walked over slowly, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, raised the sword, clenched his left hand into a fist, showed his arm, and cut the horizontal sword from his arm. A cut was made on the dusty skin, and a slightly pale stream of blood flowed out, dripping onto the sword and meandering.

A pale golden glimmer flashed, and a sword roar like a dragon's roar echoed in Gai Hong's ears, and two cold lights burst out of Gai Hong's eyes.

"Dad, brother, bless me, I will definitely kill Wuji and avenge you. ”――
