Chapter 104: Awakening

Flowers bloom all over the throne, but with the withering of life. The soil in which the ice flowers are rooted is a thick layer of ice, and through the confused vision, the green cliff can barely be seen, and there is still a space under the ice.

Crack, another piece of broken ice fell, Qingya was about to complain that the craftsmen who carved these guards back then were too poor, how could they be so unreliable, but suddenly found that the ice sculpture with a broken arm was intact at the moment.

And the deep pit that was smashed out of the ground was also repaired as before.

More and more pieces of ice shattered, forcing Qingya to keep retreating, until he stepped down the stairs of the throne, and a broken ice sculpture arm smashed in front of Qingya again.

However, the trend of falling ice cubes is still unabated, and even several ice sculptures have cracked together, and wherever Qingya goes, the ice sculptures above his head begin to shatter, as if to expel Qingya from the main entrance of the main hall.

It wasn't until Qingya withdrew from the main hall that the falling ice crystals stopped, and the main hall in front of him had been smashed by the falling ice cubes, and small crushed ice piles were everywhere.

But in the blink of an eye, everything in front of him returned to its original state.

Don't......

In order to confirm his conjecture, Qingya walked into the main hall again, and sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the main hall, cracks began to appear on the ice sculpture.

As he got closer to the throne, the ice sculpture fell more violently, and when he reached the flower garden, the sword in the ice sculpture's hand broke from it, and the sharp blade fell towards the top of the green cliff's head.

After a few steps, Qingya withdrew from the main hall again, and the ice sculpture returned to silence again. This time, Qingya's eyes stared at the hall full of frost and snow without blinking, wanting to see how it was restored, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Qingya's eyes were dry and astringent, and there was still no movement.

With a hint of suspicion, Qingya blinked his eyes, and it was in such a short period of time that the main hall was restored to its original state.

As it is said in those texts, these ice sculptures are actually alive, they are unobservable.

Qingya once read about similar life forms in "Strange Mountains and Seas: Ghost World", they were born in the gap created by the collision of two worlds, they are life but not life, they have a long lifespan, and they lie dormant in any corner of the world in the form of statues.

When they feel the anger of a human being, they wake up and hide in the blind spot of people's eyes and start moving, and when you look at them, they revert to the state of statues, and in the blink of an eye, they may take their lives.

Their bodies are extremely hard and can be restored quickly even if they are destroyed, so remember not to blink when you encounter them.

And the only way to deal with them is for the two of them to take turns watching it, keeping him in a statue state, and then sealing it in a place where no one will ever see it, and after thousands of years, their vitality will gradually be exhausted and eventually dissipate.

In the book, such beings are referred to as "Apostles of the River Styx".

When Qingya said their names, the Qingying in his hand trembled slightly, although he couldn't hear the specific words, Qingya could feel the intention conveyed by Qingming.

The gist of it was that the Qing Ming was protesting that these life forms had nothing to do with the Styx of the Underworld, and the ignorant people put the black cauldron on the heads of the Underworld.

Fortunately, the statues here were not hostile to the intruder, on the contrary, they were always afraid of the throne.

Only then did he vaguely see that there was still this space under the throne, and perhaps there was something dangerous hidden there, and these statues were the mechanism left by the owner of this palace to guard this place.

Thinking of this, Qingya left the main hall with great interest, because this was not the destination of his trip, and in the distance, his girl was still waiting for him to wake her up.

Continuing to climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain, Qingya looked down at the mountains, but found that the Yuxu Palace was in the basin of the depression of the mountains, and in front of the mountain, a river that had dried up for an unknown number of years passed around the mountain.

How can a palace be built in a depression, so that it does not look like an inhabited palace, but rather like a tomb.

And in that hall, the ice flowers blooming on the throne lead the soul to die, and the space under the ice flowers is the one where the master is buried? Did the man who set up the Apostle of Styx as the grave keeper not want his long sleep to be disturbed?

The more Qing Ya thought about it, the more mad she felt, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, turned around and walked away quickly.

Anyway, this is just an illusion, and when Sister Qing'er is awakened, everything here will turn into nothingness.

It took more than a month for Qingya to get out of this ice field, and adjacent to the ice field was a sea of flowers.

The world here seems to have been carefully designed, with a clear dividing line neatly dividing the ice field and the sea of flowers in two, and the extremely cold climate has become warm as spring after the cliff has crossed this dividing line.

This world is very strange, some places that should not belong to the human world are surprisingly real, such as the ancient tomb of the Jade Void Palace on the ice field, and some places that should be in the human world but do not conform to common sense, such as the different climates that are so clearly defined here.

The gentle warm wind blows the petals, mixed with the fragrance of the earth, and constantly whirls in front of the green cliff, as if the flowers here open their arms to welcome the arrival of the green cliff.

But Qingya had no intention of admiring this flowery world, and his gaze could no longer tolerate anything except the blooming black lotus on the hillside in the distance.

Although this is not the real world, and the time that has passed with the outside world is not the same, for Qingya, he really hasn't seen Hua Qing'er for more than two months.

This separation was longer than any separation since they got acquainted, even when the two of them were separated by two peaks, at most a month, Qingya would run to Tianxuan Peak.

Maybe for Hua Qing'er, this time was just a big dream, but for Qingya, he crossed endless desolation, undulating glaciers, and endured the loneliness of thousands of miles of people, just to wake up the girl in his sleep.

Now, she was right in front of her eyes, and Qingya couldn't hold back her throbbing mood, and she stepped on the slope of the hill where the Black Lotus was located in two or three steps.

This time, the Black Lotus is no longer an illusory Dharma, but a real lotus flower that can be touched. Triple nine-petal flowers surround the lotus platform in the center, on which lies a young girl in a black dress.

She leaned sideways, curled her legs slightly, rested her right arm under her head, and fell asleep peacefully.

Qingya stood beside her, looking at her sleeping face, and for a while she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she wanted to look at her calmly until the end of time.

Gently take her right hand, this time, you won't take it off again, and slap me in the face. Qingya smiled and pressed her palm to her face, feeling the temperature from her palm, everything was so familiar.

This time, I lost you for so long, in the future, don't let me find you, unconsciously, since you broke into my life, we have formed such a deep bond, I can't imagine the days without you.

In my memory, you are always very sleepy, and when you were in Huayinglou, you always had to sleep until three poles in the morning before getting up. But since my arrival, you have always woken up before me, pushed open my door and woke me up, and every morning, when I open my eyes, you are in my eyes.

This time, you've slept for more than two months, and you've finally slept enough, so wake up quickly, Sister Qing'er.

Qingya's eyebrows flashed with dazzling green light, he leaned down and pressed his forehead against Hua Qing'er's forehead, the edge of the needle cut through the curtain like a thin needle, and the world faded as if the black curtain had been removed.

"Green Cliff."

Hearing this voice again, Qingya suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world.

Do you know how long it has been since I've heard you call me?

In this lifeless world, I can't talk to anyone, I can't hear anyone, I'm used to such a quiet world.

Lotte Jushi once heard the sound of the pipa at the head of the Xunyang River and exclaimed, "If you listen to Xianle's ears are temporary", and at this time, your short two words, in my ears, are just as beautiful as Xianle.

The girl lying on her side opened her eyes, and the shadow of Qingya was reflected in her eyes like a ghostly tan, and in Qingya's eyes, all she saw was herself.

"I had a long, long dream, I dreamed that I was fighting you and Sister Qiu, I cast a lot of strange spells, but I still couldn't beat her. And then I was stuck in a little room and saw you running and running and running towards me, and when I woke up, you really appeared in front of me. ”

Hua Qing'er trembled and held Qingya's face with both hands, gently stroking his cheeks.

"Did I slap you again, does it hurt?"

As she spoke, Hua Qing'er also blew softly on Qingyadi's right cheek.

The orchid-like fragrance hit Qingya's face, Qingya couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and reached out to hug the girl in front of her into her arms.

"Yes, I've been looking for you for a long, long time, and I'll never lose you again."

Qingya hugged her tightly, maybe she was afraid that she would disappear again, maybe her heart had long wanted to embrace her.

With a gentle smile, she also wrapped her arms around Qingya's back, clinging to the young man in front of her, and at this moment, the two could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Soon, they will return to reality, the whereabouts of Princess Changle have not yet been found, and it is unknown what kind of opponent they will face.

But at least for this moment, I can leave everything in the world behind and just hug you tightly like this.
