Chapter 048: Ice Palace
The mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, overgrown with weeds and thorns.
The woman in a light yellow robe, but her steps are extremely fast, and the soles of her feet do not seem to touch the ground between walks, as if there is an invisible qi to support, and her body is very agile and elegant.
Seeing that the woman didn't seem to have the slightest intention of accommodating him to slow down, Du Feiyun had no choice but to secretly take a step of luck and follow closely behind the woman.
"Xie Lu, thank you for saving me just now, by the way, haven't you asked for the name of your Taoist friend yet?" From beginning to end, the woman never said a word, and Du Feiyun had to take the lead in finding a topic.
"Ning Xuewei. Ning Xuewei, who was walking in front, didn't look back, her speed did not slow down at all, and her voice was neither salty nor light.
Originally, Du Feiyun wanted to inquire about Xue Bing, but seeing Ning Xuewei's cold face and just hurrying, he had to swallow his words back.
After traveling for more than two hours and about 200 miles, the two came to a deep canyon. The aura in the canyon is rich, the water mist is steaming and surging, and the surrounding scene is looming, as if it is dangerous.
I saw Ning Xuewei come to a boulder, took out a long strip of jade slip from the sleeve of her robe, and instilled it with yuan power, and the jade slip suddenly glowed. Then she walked in front of the boulder, stepping on the mysterious and agile steps, and her figure flickered, shuttling back and forth several times around the three-foot radius.
Immediately, she suddenly stopped her figure, stood in place, and with her right hand glowing with Yuan Li's brilliance, she surrendered the jade slip to the boulder.
A scene that made Du Feiyun feel slightly surprised happened, only to see that the jade slip wrapped in white light fell on the boulder and disappeared quickly.
Immediately after, the boulder parted from the middle, revealing a portal-like hole. The entrance to the cave was pitch black and unbright, and it was impossible to see how deep it was or what it was.
Ning Xuewei stepped into the cave first, Du Feiyun hesitated for a moment, and then followed into the cave. When the two entered the cave, the boulder at the entrance of the cave slowly closed, and the crystal jade slip appeared out of thin air again, and was withdrawn by Ning Xuewei.
She held the jade slip in her hand, instilling a trace of yuan power, and the jade simplicity exuded a warm white brilliance, illuminating the three zhang square circles around the two of them, acting as illumination. At this time, Du Feiyun saw clearly that this was a long road, and he didn't know where it led.
Following in Ning Xuewei's footsteps, Du Feiyun walked in the corridor for about an hour before he saw a glimmer of light.
This corridor is a bit narrow, enough to accommodate three people in parallel, and all the way up. Du Feiyun secretly speculated in his heart that this passage might be the secret passage leading to the hidden snow and ice peak.
Sure enough, when Du Feiyun followed Ning Xuewei out of the cave, his front was cheerful, and when he saw the scene around him clearly, he suddenly determined in his heart that he was now on the top of the Hidden Snow Ice Peak.
As the name suggests, Tibetan Snow Ice Peak is naturally a mountain peak. This mountain is nearly 2,000 zhang high, and the mountain is steep and has many cliffs. The most incredible thing for Du Feiyun is that the entire mountain peak is covered with snow, and ice cubes are hanging in many places, and the temperature is as low as a bitter winter.
If you are an ordinary person, you will be frozen into ice slag after spending half a day in this mountain. Fortunately, Du Feiyun was protected by a magic robe, which automatically exuded a trace of warm aura, so that he would not shiver from freezing.
He clearly remembered that it was still the end of summer, and even if the temperature in the mountains was low, it would not be freezing and snowy. He looked around again, and saw that the mountains hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance around him were not covered with snow and ice, and then he realized that there must be something special about this mountain.
If it weren't for the existence of strange treasures on the peaks, there must have been a master who laid down a magic circle to change the climate and temperature of the entire mountain.
If it is the latter, then the methods of the master are really terrifying, and the means lead to the sky.
The peaks are covered with clean and flawless snow, and several bluestone-paved avenues lead straight to the top. From the halfway point of the mountain to the top of the mountain, hundreds of houses and courtyards are scattered on the ground, and there are faint figures walking around.
Ning Xuewei easily crisscrossed the avenue, all the way up the road, and Du Feiyun had no choice but to follow without saying a word. At the same time, as he approached the most spacious and splendid courtyard on the top of the mountain, Du Feiyun realized that almost all the people he met on the way up the mountain were female monks, not a single male monk.
Moreover, most of those female monks were similar to Ning Xuewei, their faces were calm and cold, they did not smile, and their expressions were reserved and indifferent. ,
When you finally reach the top of the mountain, you will see an extremely open space square. Behind the square, there is a palace carved with ice and snow, and the houses are lined up one after another, undulating and undulating, and it is very dignified and atmospheric.
"What kind of place is this?" In fact, Du Feiyun already had a trace of conjecture in his heart, but he had not been confirmed.
"Ice Palace. Ning Xuewei's voice was as clear as ever, and her answer was simple and straightforward, and she would never waste the slightest words.
There were several waves of young female monks passing by in the square, all of whom greeted Ning Xuewei respectfully, and then cast their puzzled eyes on Du Feiyun, only to see that Du Feiyun was inexplicable.
Along the way, almost every female monk who saw Du Feiyun had a strange face and a puzzled look in her eyes. Originally, Du Feiyun was a little puzzled in his heart, but when he saw that there were all female monks on the Tibetan Snow Ice Peak, and he was the only male monk, he faintly understood in his heart.
Ning Xuewei walked across the square, came to the tall and wide hall, stepped forward and whispered a few words to the female monk on duty in the hall, and then returned to Du Feiyun's side and said, "Follow me." ”
Then, Du Feiyun followed Ning Xuewei through the main hall, came to a quiet and chic courtyard, walked to a quiet ice and snow house, bent down to the door, bowed, and announced loudly.
"Senior Sister Bing, Xue Wei came to ask for a meeting. ”
The house made of ice is very crystal clear, but you can't see the scene in it, but it is a bit mysterious. After Ning Xuewei's words fell, after a while, a crisp and pleasant voice came from the house, with a hint of doubt.
"Xuewei, didn't you go to the back mountain to collect medicine, why did you turn around and come back?"
"Senior Sister Huibing, there is a man here who has come to see you with a token. Ning Xuewei glanced at Du Feiyun, and then replied.
At this moment, Du Feiyun was keenly aware of a hint of strangeness, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, and this feeling was born in his heart, and his back couldn't help but feel a little cold.
"Oh, Zhilu said, you go down. A moment later, when the feeling of being watched dissipated, Du Feiyun heard the crisp and pleasant words sound.
Ning Xuewei saluted and said goodbye, then turned around and left. After Ning Xuewei walked out of the courtyard, the door of the ice cube room opened automatically, and then a figure walked out.
It was a tall, delicate woman, dressed in a snow-white robe, with waist-length black hair scattered behind her head, swaying gently as she walked.
She has a face as clear as white jade, flawless, and her face is beautiful and refined, which makes people admire. Under the thin white robe, her snow-white warm skin was slightly revealed, and a pair of slender and crystalline soft wattles seemed to be as soft as boneless.
If you increase one point, you will be fat, and if you lose one point, you will be thin, your face will be delicate and dusty, your demeanor will be elegant and dignified, and your whole body will be filled with an elegant and dusty temperament. Anyone who sees this woman at a glance will have a touch of awe and admiration in their hearts that dare not blaspheme.
It's just that in this woman's pair of watery autumn pupils, she is as calm as stopping water, without any waves, her expression is cold, and there is a faint sense of alienation that rejects people thousands of miles away.
"Ice and Snow Fairy?" Du Feiyun's eyes looked at the woman, and he muttered in a low voice in his heart, in addition to being amazed by the beautiful appearance of this woman, he secretly guessed that this woman probably had a cold temperament and did not smile.
Ning Xuewei called her Senior Sister Bing before, but at this moment, it seems that this woman is Xue Bing. Thinking of this, Du Feiyun couldn't help but speculate in his heart, this Xue Bing's appearance looked like he was only in his early twenties, what was the relationship with Xue Rang?
"Since I entered the Ice and Snow Palace, you are the second man to come here. So, I hope you give me a suitable reason, otherwise, you won't have to go down the mountain today. ”
Dressed in a white robe dragging on the ground, Xue Bing stood quietly under the eaves, looking at Du Feiyun calmly, but the first thing he said was so cold.
Seeing who says what is said is one of the most basic skills that Du Feiyun has mastered in his two lives. He had no doubt that if he wasted his tongue with an ice and snow beauty like Xue Bing, the end would be miserable.
Therefore, after he greeted Xue Bing with a greeting between monks, he took out the jade plate that Xue Rang gave him, and said his intentions straight to the point.
As soon as he saw the jade plate in Du Feiyun's hand, Xue Bing's eyes were attracted, and he couldn't move away from the jade card when he landed on it. Although the excited look in Xue Bing's eyes quickly faded, it was still keenly noticed by Du Feiyun, and he could guess that under Xue Bing's calm look, he was afraid that his thoughts were churning. ,
Sure enough, Du Feiyun was telling the intention, Xue Bing raised his hand lightly, and a soft force came, and the jade plate in his hand automatically flew into her hand.
While listening to Du Feiyun's narration, Xue Bing lowered his head and carefully rubbed the jade card in his hand, the look in his eyes was very complicated.
After Du Feiyun explained his intentions, Xue Bing's face gradually softened a lot, and his expression was no longer as cold as before, he waved his hand to invite Du Feiyun into the house, and asked in detail about the specific situation.
Du Feiyun also told the story of the process of knowing Xue Rang, as well as being chased and killed by the enemy, and then leaving Qianjiang City, and spending two months painstakingly looking for the mountain gate of Liuyun Sect.
The look in Xue Bing's eyes gradually changed, and occasionally when he looked at Du Feiyun, there would be a hint of approval in his eyes.
After finally talking about everything, Xue Bing bowed slightly, and then Sakura lips opened lightly: "Since he asked you to come here, then I will naturally ensure that you worship under the Liuyun Sect." ”
"Now, you take my warrant and go to find Ning Xuewei, and she will take you to do everything. After finishing speaking, a white light flashed in Xue Bing's hand, and a jade plate fell into Du Feiyun's hand.
Du Feiyun took the jade plate, thanked him, and then went out to find Ning Xuewei.
The room was quiet, and Xue Bing sat quietly on the wide ice and snow seat, rubbing the jade card in his hand, with a worried look on his face.
"I don't know if he has left Qianjiang City, if the people of the Qingshan Sword Sect go to seek revenge again, I am afraid that he will be in danger. However, I can't leave the Ice and Snow Palace, otherwise I can still go to Qianjiang City in person......"
