Chapter Eighty-Three: The Iceberg
Seeing that the water venison was ready, Ling Yazi called Lan Ling'er and Yi'er, and the three of them flew to a small forest not far away, cut some branches with their swords, and carried them over to light the fire to roast the water venison.
The deer meat was delicious, and everyone praised it after tasting it, and Master Xuyun asked Buddha, Yi'er and Xin'er to pack the roasted deer meat in three bags, and carried it on their own, and went to the snow mountain with everyone on the way.
After crossing the snow line, the path was covered by fresh snow, and everyone had to look for directions and walk towards the top of the mountain.
The snow on the snow line is not too big, just not bare feet, everyone walks quite easily, but the more you go up, the deeper the snow, to the mountainside, the snow has not reached the knees, everyone has to lift the breath and walk, although it consumes a lot of internal strength, but it is much faster to walk.
When we were still a few hundred feet away from the top of the mountain, we noticed that the snow under our feet had turned to ice, and it was obvious that the top of the mountain was frozen in ice all year round because of the cold.
Although the feet became hard, but because the ice was very slippery, they couldn't step on their feet, so everyone had to continue to lift their spirits, but after such a long journey, Lan Ling'er, Luo Lin, Fo'er, Yi'er and Xin'er and other people who were slightly weaker in martial arts had no internal strength to climb up again, so everyone had to stop and rest.
Standing on the high mountain, Zhu Yu tried his best to look around, and saw the fog in the distance, the mountains appeared and disappeared in the fog, the sun passed through the fog, it was visible for a while, and it was hidden in the fog for a while, fortunately, there was no wind on the mountain, but it didn't feel cold.
"Look, there seems to be someone at the foot of the mountain." Suddenly, Lingyazi pointed to the bottom of the mountain and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked in the direction of Lingyazi's fingers, and sure enough, they saw a few black dots moving where everyone walked in the morning, because they were too far away to see the direction of their clothes.
"I can see clearly, the people below are Paju Gobu and Yuanying, I really didn't expect them to follow so closely." Master Kongkong will gather pupils Dafa, no matter how far away, as long as he is lucky in his eyes, he can see it clearly by using the pupil gathering Dafa, which is exactly the same as his method of hearing sounds for thousands of miles.
"We can't get rid of them, what should we do?" Xuyun Shitai said.
"Now, I don't know the whereabouts of the Soul Chaser Witch and Linghu Wuyan, it doesn't matter if you can't get rid of them, as long as you don't let them get the Great Netherworld Sutra when the time comes." Master Kongkong said helplessly.
"Looks like they must have seen us too, since we are so far away, we might as well walk quickly, if we can get away for a day or two, it will be much easier to get rid of them." Seeing that Lan Ling'er and the others were almost rested, Zhang Lingtian said.
Hearing Zhang Lingtian say this, everyone then lifted their breath and went to the top of the mountain, and after a while, they came to the top of the mountain with white mist, but found that it was said that the top of the mountain was actually composed of more than ten huge icicles that were separated by more than ten zhang, and the icicles were dozens of zhang high, ranging from three or five zhang to more than ten zhang in diameter, and they were straight into the clouds, but they didn't know how to form them.
"This really looks like a place for immortals?" Lan Ling'er touched this icicle, knocked on another icicle, and said.
Suddenly, everyone heard a few bird calls from the top of their heads, and as soon as they looked up, they saw two huge golden eagles with sharp claws, swooping down on everyone, one pounced on Lu Bucai, and the other pounced on Xin'er.
Lu Bucai saw the golden eagle pounce, raised his hand, and gently slapped a palm, the golden eagle felt the power of Lu Bucai's palm, turned around, and dodged into the air.
The golden eagle that pounced on Xin'er, did not encounter any resistance, a pair of claws grabbed the top of Xin'er's head, Xin'er lowered her head, the golden eagle pounced, flapped its wings, turned its head and grabbed Xin'er's neck, just at this moment, I heard a sharp whistle in the air, heard the whistle body, the golden eagle put away its claws, turned around, and flew into the air.
Xin'er was frightened, looked up into the air, but saw an old man with a white beard standing on the icicle above her head, but saw that the old man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, looking like he was in his seventies, and there were two golden eagles standing on his shoulders.
The old man jumped off the icicle, stood in front of everyone, and said, "Heroes, what are you doing when you come to my Jinzhao Mountain?" ”
After Lu Bucai looked at the old man carefully, he said in surprise: "You, are you the master of the Infinite Sect of Guiyi?" ”
When the old man heard this, he stared at Lu Bucai for a moment, and said: "I am the Infinite Sect Returning to One, if I am not mistaken, you are Lu Bucai of the Kongtong Sect!" ”
"That's right! Right! I am Lu Bucai, Master Guiyi, I haven't seen you for decades, why are you here? Lu Bucai asked strangely.
"More than 30 years ago, the Kongtong faction, the Wuliang faction, the Tianlong faction and the Northern Shaolin faction competed in Moganshan, I participated on behalf of the Wuliang faction, and I lost a mess, I was embarrassed to stay in the faction, so I came here to live in seclusion, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed." Master Guiyi sighed.
"Thirty years ago? Master Lu Bucai, so you also participated in this competition at that time? Lan Ling'er asked.
"Not only did I participate, but your grandfather Lan Xiong Lan Daxia, and Yuantong, the senior brother of Northern Shaolin Yuanying, also participated in the competition."
What Lu Bucai said aroused everyone's interest, and everyone opened their mouths to inquire about the situation at that time.
"I heard that at that time, the four of you were the highest in the Central Plains martial arts, and the Wise Master, the Kongkong Master, the Zhang Lingtian Master and the Wudang Four were not born yet?" Xuyun Master asked.
"Yes, now, Lan Xiong and Lan Daxia and his wife have gone into seclusion somewhere, Yuantong has passed away for many years, and now there are only me and Master Lu Bucai left." Master Guiyi sighed.
"Master Guiyi, Master Lu Bucai, you say, will my grandparents still be alive? I haven't seen them since I was a kid? And after my father died, they didn't show up either! ”
Hearing the two mention their grandfather Lan Xiong, Lan Ling'er asked curiously.
"They are now in their seventies, about the same age as me and Master Guiyi, and their martial arts are so high, they must still be alive, but they are tired of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they have gone to live in seclusion far away, just like Master Guiyi and me, if you don't have such a fate, you may not know that there were two of us on the rivers and lakes for the rest of your life!" Lu Bucai stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er fell silent, he thought of his father, and looked forward to seeing his grandparents one day.
"Return, Master Guiyi, how did you get over here for more than 30 years in this cold place? Why don't you go to a warm place to live in seclusion? Xin'er asked in a whisper.
"No one bothers this place, you are one of the few people I have seen here, and besides, I practice in a cold environment every day, not only have I gotten used to it, but my internal strength has also risen very quickly!" Master Guiyi laughed.
"Master Guiyi, your martial arts were the first-class in the world more than thirty years ago, and after practicing for so many years, your martial arts should be unfathomable, right?" Lingyazi asked.
"I don't know how high my martial arts are, after all, I haven't touched anyone for more than 30 years, it's just that some cultivation methods can get twice the result with half the effort, not depending on the length of time I practice, compared with such people, I may be slightly inferior."
"Master Guiyi, then you say, Central Plains Martial Arts, which faction's martial arts function is as you said, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort." Lingyazi is particularly interested in practicing martial arts.
"As far as I know, the Central Plains martial arts, the first to recommend Shaolin, but there are some martial arts, but they have not been passed on, for example, the kung fu of the Shaolin Great Netherworld, in order to prevent it from being stolen, even the monks of Shaolin Temple are not allowed to learn the above kung fu."
Hearing Master Guiyi say this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"It's really a bystander, and the authorities are confused! If I had known this earlier, I Shaolin would have destroyed the Great Nether Sutra, and it would not have caused such a result. ”
Master Kongkong folded his hands together as if muttering to himself.
"Oh! Could it be that someone stole the Great Nether Sutra? "Master Guiyi asked Master Kongkong.
"The master guessed well, my apprentice Qiulin and his husband Linghu Wuya stole this scripture, and made it known to the world, and now, not only the Central Plains martial arts are looking for this classic, but also the Tibetan monks have also added it." Master Kongkong said helplessly.
"Oh, I see, as far as I know, the cultivation of Tibetan monks is an extreme method, and it requires the cultivation method within the Great Netherworld Sutra to balance the uncontrollable internal qi, so they definitely want to get this Sutra." Master Guiyi said as he looked up at the two golden eagles perched on the icicles.
When the two golden eagles saw them, they seemed to understand something, and they flapped their wings and flew down the mountain.
