In front of Zonglin County, it can be described as a crowd of people.

A large number of chariots and horses continued to leave the city, and the people were all dragging their families and mouths, carrying their bags in a hurry, as if there were flood beasts chasing behind them.

"Grass! Don't squeeze! "Hurry up and keep up!"

There was a great noise in front of the city gates, and from time to time there were quarrels and angry curses, and everyone's hearts seemed to be covered with a dark cloud.

Yang Shifei tugged on the reins, made the horse stop, and glanced at the 'grand scene' before leaving the city gate.

Each of these people looked gloomy, and it was evident that they had been terrified for many days.

And the soldiers defending the city were even more loose, and they had no intention of maintaining order at all, as if they also wanted to run away with their burdens.

"This city is the closest to the capital of Yan Kingdom, and the people in the city should have heard the news of the civil strife."

Luo Xian'er hugged her body tightly and whispered behind her ear: "Maybe they are all evacuated." ”

Yang Shifei shouted at the passing carriage: "What is the situation in Zonglin County?" ”

"There's a lot of madmen in town!"

The middle-aged man in the carriage hurriedly replied: "I advise you not to enter the city either, it's too dangerous." ”

Yang Shifei frowned slightly. It seems that not only civil strife has spread, but there is also filth raging in the city, and a large number of madmen have appeared.

The three of them rushed for nearly two days, and they saw more and more people of Yan Kingdom on the road.

During this period, I also encountered crazy people who rioted and hurt people, and the current situation. It's getting tougher.

"Are we in the first place, or"

"Straight into the mountains."

Yang Shifei patted the horse's back, rode the horse out of the crowd, and rushed to the mountains and forests.

Zonglin County is close to the suburbs, just look up, you can see that the continuous peaks in the clouds and mist are becoming clearer, and Dayan Valley is among them.

After half an hour, the surrounding mountains and forests were silent, and the road became steeper.

When the road ahead was difficult, Yang Shifei turned over and dismounted, took simple luggage on his back, and prepared to go into the mountain to investigate.

Luo Xian'er pulled Yuerui, looked at both sides of the mountain road intently, and suddenly said:

"Someone."

"Is it the people of the mountains, or"

"It should be the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom stationed at the foot of the mountain, who were ordered to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Yan."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise in the trees in the distance, and sure enough, several soldiers walked out of it, all wearing armor and holding long knives.

Yang Shifei wanted to catch the two and ask questions, but Yuerui suddenly spoke:

"They're not people."

As soon as the five soldiers discovered Yang Shifei and his party, they immediately let out a hideous roar and rushed like wild beasts!

Luo Xian'er frowned slightly, and lightly pressed the hilt of the sword on her waist, and the sword flashed suddenly.

The soldiers immediately fell to the ground, and they were all beheaded by a sword.

“.”

Yang Shifei took a few steps closer and glanced at it, his heart sank slightly,

"Under the helmet, it is indeed an inhuman-shaped face."

Yuerui took a deep breath: "There is not so much filth here. ”

"So, for a short time, they weren't affected by this place, but the capital?"

Luo Xian'er's heart was a little cold.

What is the extent of filth in the capital of Yan Kingdom?

"If the soldiers patrolling the mountains have become demons, there is no need to arrest people for questioning for the time being."

Yang Shifei looked back at the horse: "Let's go into the mountain, what should we do with this horse and luggage?" ”

"She's smart and she's quiet and hiding." Luo Xian'er stroked the horse's back: "When I whistle, I will follow the sound immediately." ”

"That's good."

Yang Shifei was the first to step into the Wild Goose Valley.

The mountains here are steep and densely forested, and it is easy for ordinary people to get trapped in them.

However, Yuerui carefully distinguished the mountain situation, and soon found several accurate mountain paths, leading to the depths of the Dayan Valley.

It is expected that Emperor Yan can enter the Dayan Valley for many days without being discovered, and he must have entered an inaccessible place to avoid the search of the soldiers.

"This rift valley is indeed steep."

Soon after, Yang Shifei stepped into the depths of the mountain and looked forward, as if there was a pitch-black cave leading to the ground.

If you accidentally slip your footing, I am afraid that I will fall into the abyss and break my bones.

"If Emperor Yan is hiding in it, those soldiers are indeed difficult to find."

Yang Shifei rubbed the pebbles under his feet with the soles of his shoes: "The surrounding stone roads are extremely slippery, and it is difficult to borrow strength. Unless there is a high level of cultivation, once you go down the cave, it will be difficult to come up easily. ”

If it rains again, you may be directly submerged by the flash flood and trapped in the cave.

"There's even more filth here."

Yuerui blinked: "Go straight down?" ”

Yang Shifei and Luo Xian'er glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

"You pull me." The eldest lady stretched out her hands: "If there is any danger, I will take you away as soon as possible." ”

"It's really reassuring to have a fairy to protect you."

Yang Shifei clasped his right hand and smiled deliberately.

Luo Xian'er pursed her lips slightly, understanding his thoughtfulness, and her mind was a little calmer.

"Childe, don't worry, no matter what happens to Emperor Yan, I won't lose my sense of proportion."

Yang Shifei didn't say anything more, and the three of them stepped into the pitch-black grotto.

As the candle lights are lit, a glimmer of fire illuminates the way forward.

“.”

The cave was wider than expected, with a faint breeze.

Yang Shifei walked forward cautiously, vigilant against the wind and grass around him, and carefully explored the road ahead.

The three of them were silent, and they went down all the way, and the filth around them became more and more intense.

"Strange."

Yuerui suddenly opened her mouth: "Here, it's getting colder and colder. ”

Yang Shifei said in a low voice: "Is it because of filth?" ”

"Not quite right." Yuerui shook her head: "It's cold like winter." ”

"Chill."

Luo Xian'er's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "Sister Lingcat, can you confirm where the cold comes from?" ”

"Well, let me tell the difference."

Seeing Yuerui concentrating on perceiving, Yang Shifei asked in Luo Xian'er's ear, "What did you find?" ”

"Emperor Yan's internal strength and mental method she cultivated was taught by the Ice Palace Immortal. Once it is exercised, it will emit an extremely cold air. ”

Luo Xian'er's eyes gradually condensed: "Even if it's just a glimmer of possibility, you might as well try to track it down." ”

"—there is."

Yuerui stretched out her hand to the left: "There it is." ”

Yang Shifei used a candle flame to shine: "It's not a wall, huh?" ”

He looked closer, and found that there were cracks under the stone wall, just enough for one person to pass through.

"Where does the cold come from?"

After getting closer, Yang Shifei also felt a hint of coolness.

"Go in and try it."

The three of them drilled into the cracks of the grotto in turn, and followed forward and backward slowly.

Luo Xian'er's eyes suddenly froze, and she found that the ground in front of her was like a steep slope, and she didn't know where it led.

"Hold on to my shoulders."

Stabilizing her body again, she took a step-

The next moment, the three of them slid all the way down as if they were stepping on a slide.

Luo Xian'er hurriedly pulled out her sword scabbard and pressed it against the wall to slow down the downward momentum.

After sliding for more than a dozen feet, there seemed to be a slight light in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly jumped out of the situation.

“.”

Yang Shifei stood on his feet and found that he was surrounded by a wide underground grotto.

And ahead, it seems to be another lake.

"Wait!"

Yang Shifei lowered his head and moved his feet, and under the sole of his shoe was a woman's dress!

"Emperor Yan is here!"

"It's a bit spacious, let's take a look at it separately."

Luo Xian'er and Yuerui went to both sides, groping carefully all the way.

Yang Shifei took advantage of the candle flame and went close to the lake, and sure enough, he saw a figure in front of the lake-

A woman was unconscious on the edge of the lake, her upper body was not wearing an inch, her face was pale and her right arm was pilllowed, and the peaks were full and convex.

"Emperor Yan!"

Yang Shifei saw the other party's appearance clearly, and suddenly showed surprise on his face: "Xian'er, Xiaorui, come here, I found it!" ”

He stepped forward quickly, saw that the other party had a shoulder injury, and hurriedly wanted to pick the other party up.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Emperor Yan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist.

Click, click!

A terrifying chill enveloped the surroundings in an instant, and the surface of the lake quickly froze into ice.

In the blink of an eye, more ice crystals rose from the ground, directly blocking the entire lake within a radius of ten zhang, turning into an ice crystal prison.

Yang Shifei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart was agitated.

Not only because of Emperor Yan's sudden 'attack', but also because of Emperor Yan

The flesh and skin became more and more crystal clear, the eyes froze into ice crystals, and the long hair turned into snow tassels, until the whole person turned into an ice and snow jade sculpture!
