Chapter 192: Snow Monster
The hall is full of fragrance, the red jade light on the ground can be seen, but it is a pity that there is a huge screen erected at the door, on the screen is painted a woman in white clothes, the figure is graceful, the long hair is fluttering, one arm points to the air, the cuffs fall to reveal the white lotus arm, one hand naturally hangs down on the waist, the fingers are curved and cocked, the fingers are soft. But the woman in the painting is thinly dressed. Looking at the soft figure, I think this woman is not very old, and she is obviously a stunning beauty, but it is a pity that the painting only paints her back.
Through the gaps around the screen, Mo Cong and Chu Ci could only see a little of the red-lacquered pillars and painted cantilever beams inside.
"Junior, Mo Cong, meet the old-timers!"
"Junior, Chu Ci, meet the old-timers!"
Just now, Mo Cong was dizzy in the tower, and said a few angry words, and at this moment he remembered the master's entrustment, "Several masters in the tower are all a hundred years of cultivation, and their attainments are quite profound, so you can't be disrespectful to them." Therefore, Mo Cong expected that the master in the first layer of the tower must be a white-haired old woman, who had just spoken or was her personal maid. Therefore, he did not dare to move forward, and bowed respectfully. Chu Ci also gave a salute.
"Old-timers, hehe! funny," the man in the tower giggled, "am I old?"
"Who knows, I don't see you. Mo Cong said secretly in his heart, but listening to the voice, it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, delicate and crisp and pleasant. Hearing the same voice as before, Mo Cong frowned, straightened his waist, and said with some annoyance: "Dare to ask you are the maid or granddaughter of the old-timers? Please don't joke with me, my senior sister and I are here to challenge the seniors." ”
The overhanging beams in the hall on the first floor were towering and unusually wide, and Mo Cong's words echoed, and the voice fell for a long time, and there was silence in the tower for a moment. The woman said angrily, "I have neither a maid nor a granddaughter here, but I am alone." ”
Hearing that voice was even more immature than Chu Ci, Mo Cong and Chu Ci looked at each other, then looked at the screen, and exchanged their eyes: "Could it be that she has taken the pill, and her youth will never be able to stay forever?"
However, since he knew that people were not joking, then the women in this tower were not idle, Mo Cong did not dare to despise them, and he did not dare to move forward without the permission of others, and said respectfully: "Senior, Master asked us to come and learn martial arts with you." ”
"Sparring?" The woman laughed again, and said jokingly: "Xiao Congzi, it's not that I underestimate you, if it weren't for your unmarried and pregnant Nangong daughter-in-law who gave you Yuan Dan, I'm afraid that you are now at best the highest stage of a 'war spirit', so you are also worthy of learning from me?"
Every time the woman spoke, her voice echoed in the hall, stabbing Mo Cong's heart one by one, because she mentioned that Liu Yun was pregnant before marriage, her face was even more confused, and she defended: "All of them have made up for the wedding." ”
"Then I don't care," the woman teased, "Anyway, if you don't get married, you're going to have a big belly." ”
In front of Chu Ci, the old bottom was exposed sentence by sentence, Mo Cong's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head to his waist, speechless.
"Xiao Congzi, no one has ever given Brother Mo Cong this nickname, this person came casually, but it was a little interesting. Chu Ci didn't think much about Liu Yun's matter, he just thought that the nickname that the woman gave Mo Cong was interesting, and he felt funny in his heart, which showed that Mo Cong was drooping his head and didn't dare to laugh.
"Chu Ci, what are you laughing at?" the woman asked.
"I, I'm smiling!" Chu Ci muttered, wondering in his heart, "How did she know that I smiled?"
"You're definitely smiling, huh!" the woman snorted rather proudly, "He only deserves to be called by this name in my place, as for you, I haven't thought about it for a while, I'll tell you when I'm done!"
Chu Ci shivered twice in a row, and said timidly: "Don't want it!"
"That's not possible, I have nicknames, how can people who come to study with me not have nicknames? Come in, let me see what you look like. ”
"Brother Mo Cong, let us in!"
Mo Cong was standing there depressed, and Chu Ci stabbed him twice before he came back to his senses.
"Hmm!"
The two of them bypassed the screen and walked into the hall, which was spacious and bright, but the light was not the light from the outside, but the countless pearls hanging from the beams. There is a lotus pot under a vermilion pillar in the United States, the water in the basin is as clear as a mirror, the water surface is floating with green lotus leaves, lush, very lush, the white snow lotus is blooming strongly, and the fresh and elegant fragrance in the hall comes from the flowers in the pot.
The two of them looked around the hall, the tables were all furnished, but there was no one there. The direction where she had just heard the woman's voice should have been in the hall, the hall was so big, and there was no hiding place, no matter how fast she was, she should be able to see her.
"What about people?"
Mo Cong and Chu Ci were suspicious, and the woman's laughter suddenly came from the hall: "Heh! Good looks, Holy Ancestor really has vision, in that case, I'll give you a chance! In a quarter of an hour, if you can see me, I will admit defeat." ”
"A quarter of an hour?" Mo Cong and Chu Ci were confused again, staring at each other with big eyes. But there was that door in the hall, and when the two of them came in just now, there was no need for such a boring joke. And listening to the voice, it was clearly in that hall.
"Do you want to play hide and seek with us?" Mo Cong said with a grin.
"Who's playing hide and seek with you?" said the woman unhappily, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Now it's started, do you see that hourglass? When the sand is over, you can't see me, so where did you come from?"
The two of them looked up, and the glass bottle filled with white sand on the Nanmu table on the right hand side of the hall had strangely turned upside down, and the white sand was flowing rapidly into the bottle below.
"This!" Mo Cong and Chu Ci were suddenly startled in their hearts, the voice was obviously in the room, but with the two spirit level sensing abilities, they couldn't determine her position, and they didn't even realize the hourglass when she reversed. The two of them searched back and forth in the hall for a long time, but they still couldn't see half of the figure, and they saw that the hourglass was flowing rapidly, and most of it had been lost.
"In order to come to this place, I wasted a lot of strength on the road, I can't go back without even seeing a figure!" Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat oozed from Mo Cong's forehead, his eyes widened, he held his breath and looked around, but he still found nothing. I thought to myself: "Do you know magic? Hide in the wall? Won't you hide in a water tank!" However, Chu Ci had already taken the lead in running to those lotus ponds and checking them one by one, only to look back at Mo Cong and shake his head helplessly.
"Don't guess, I'm right there with you. The woman's voice rang out again, and it was clearly beside her. But when I looked back, it was empty.
Mo Cong and Chu Ci suddenly felt that their scalps were numb, and their whole bodies trembled unconsciously, and the two of them thought of the "ghost" at the same time, since she had been practicing for a hundred years, she thought that she would have died a long time ago, and now existed in the form of a spirit.
The two were summing up, but they heard the woman say: "You two are really amazing, I am not a ghost, I am like you, flesh and blood, but I regret that the time is up, you can go." ”
"She can actually know what we think, what is it if it's not a ghost?" Mo Cong looked at Chu Cidao with a panicked expression.
Chu Ci looked at Mo Cong blankly, and said helplessly: "Forget it, Brother Mo Cong, it's not enough for us to cultivate, let's go!"
"I love to listen to Xiao Chu's words, people have to seek truth from facts, don't be suspicious, you have to dare to admit if you can't do anything, since that's the case, I'll give you a chance. There is a path to the north of the tower, and you can see the 'Snow Monster' after passing through two glaciers, you go and kill a 'Snow Monster' and bring it back to me, and I will learn from you. The woman's voice appeared in the hall again, but she was still nowhere to be seen.
Mo Cong said indignantly: "I don't want to be led by the nose, junior sister, let's go!"
"Brother Mo Cong, don't be impulsive. Chu Ci persuaded.
"Xiao Chu, you don't care about him, get angry, only those who don't have the ability are angry!" The woman's voice always appeared at the right time, but there was no figure in sight.
Mo Cong lowered his head and thought for a long time, and argued forcefully: "I, I'm not angry! I don't think you dare to come out and fight me, so you hid." ”
"Huh!" the woman smirked.
"Brother Mo Cong," Chu Ci looked at Mo Cong with a soft gaze, and said, "We can't even touch the shadow of others, you can't talk like that." ”
"Okay!" Looking at Chu Ci's eyes, Mo Cong said reluctantly: "Senior, let's go kill a 'snow monster'." ”
"That snow monster is not an ordinary monster, it is a strange beast that has been cultivated for hundreds of years, it is very powerful, you have to be careful!"
"Thank you, senior, then we'll go. Mo Cong's face was still a little unconvinced, and he thought to himself, "When I catch one of the 'snow monsters' alive, see what you have to say then." ”
Mo Cong was angry in his heart, but he heard the woman's voice and said very calmly: "Xiao Chu, I think you should persuade Xiao Congzi well! ”
Chu Ci felt that this nickname was very awkward, but it was also a good idea to come to others, so he said helplessly: "Thank you seniors for your concern, I will persuade him." ”
"That's good, remember not to fight hard if you can't fight, you can go find someone to study and study, you are always welcome here, go!"
As soon as the woman's words fell, Mo Cong and Chu Ci felt a powerful force forcing them to exit the door, and the door slammed shut, leaving a hard wall in front of them.
"Hey!" Mo Cong sat down on the ground with a gray butt, looked up and said, "It's been a busy day, and I even saw a figure." ”
"I think that's a great man. Chu Cinu pursed her red lips, rolled her eyes, and said, "However, I don't like her to give you a nickname." ”
"What's the solution, let's go!Xiao Chu!" Mo Cong stood up, patted Chu Ci's shoulder and smiled.
Chu Ci closed his eyes for a while, his face gradually darkened, and he suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Little Congzi!"
