"Well, where does this story begin?"

In the stone house, the old man's discolored eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through the wall, and his whole mind was completely immersed in the long river of time. Fei Ji walked up to the old man and sat down, looking at him quietly as he muttered, and did not mean to urge.

The old man was speechless for a while, and then turned his gaze to Yu Ji and said, "The undead race is also a big race from ancient times, and you must have heard of the deeds of the demigod clan among the eight major clans. ”

Yu Ji nodded and said, "Well, I heard some things from the elders of the clan when I was a child. It was a sparsely populated, proud and secretive race. Although he is powerful, he doesn't like to communicate with other races of the human race, so he chooses to live in the remote place of the Xuanbing Domain. In the end, it seems that it was also because of the reluctance to intermarry with ordinary humans and gradually went extinct. ”

The old man said, "Yes." The demigod clan was originally a side branch of the Great Heavenly God Yuan Emperor, and the surname Yao was given the surname Yao, which was the product of the coexistence of the gods and beasts at the beginning of the Taishi. With half of the blood of ordinary people flowing in their bodies, the Yao clan was eventually expelled from the heavenly realm by the gods. The people henceforth hated the human part of themselves and fantasized about one day returning home. During the Great War of the Three Realms of the Ancient Divine Orcs, the demigods wanted to join the Protoss camp, but were ruthlessly refused. Disheartened, they left the battlefield and came to the Xuanbing Domain, where they established Rizhao City. The Yao clan was naturally powerful, and in the human race population at that time, only the Guigu Yao clan of the Western Continent could compete with it. It's just that these two races chose to retreat after the outbreak of the Three Realms War and did not officially appear on the battlefield. After a pause, he said, "The reason on Yao's side is unknown. Yao's side is naturally avoiding casualties. Since the combination of demigods and demigods is infertile, the Yao clan must intermarry with the gods or other human races if they want to continue their bloodline. However, as you have heard, the Yao clan, who was abandoned by the Protoss, did not want to unite with ordinary humans. Or, to be more precise, not all members of this group are willing to intermarry with humans. Simply because this is a race that is very focused on collective consciousness. When a vote is made on a matter by one of the clan's dissenting opinions, the matter is set aside. Perhaps this is why the demigods are finally coming to an end. However, this race did not become extinct because of this. ”

"Not extinct?!" Hearing this, Yu Ji couldn't help but be surprised: "But the Rizhao City I have seen has indeed been abandoned for many years! Could it be that the rune that sealed the eternal frozen glacier was made by the demigods!?"

The old man nodded and said, "Listen to me tell the story." Seeing that Yu Ji calmed down, he said: "The life span of the demigod clan is very long. But from the time of the beginning. By the time the Great War of the Three Realms was about to end, there were only thirteen people left in the entire clan. At that time, Ji Gu of the Beast Domain was joining forces with the Human Emperor to deal with the Protoss, and the name of the Reverse Scale Demon Sword deterred the Three Realms. It was also at that time that the undead race appeared, a new god, Yuxi. Yu Xi was worshipped for his exploits in refining stones to mend the sky and making people in shape. Her appearance not only brought hope to the undead, but also gave the demigods living in Rizhao an opportunity to continue their bloodline......"

Speaking of which. The old man's eyes seemed to regain a little brightness. Staring at the void in distraction, he muttered to himself, "Since the undead can give birth to a true god. Then intermarrying with them is not a reduction in bloodline. Yes. At least on this point, there is a consensus of opinion...... It's ridiculous and pitiful to say...... "When she heard the undead mentioned in the story, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the demigods and the undead?"

The old man came back to his senses. Looking at Yu Ji and continuing, "At that time, the demigod clan sent the youngest person to the Yu King City, in order to persuade the new god of the undead race, Yu Xiyuan, to marry to the Xuanbing Domain. You can probably guess the result without saying it. The equally arrogant undead rejected the request. However, it was not objected to the young demigod visiting the city several times in the future to explore ways to continue his race. I don't know how long it will take, and the demigods can't be as immortal as the undead. So while waiting, the twelve people left behind by the Yao clan chose to go into hibernation to maintain their lifespan. Yes. Their dormant place is under this permafrost glacier!"

"So, it was my people who woke up the sleeping twelve?" said Yu Ji in a deep voice, "But how did you know about such a secret past?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed and he suddenly looked at the old man and shouted, "You are the demigod youth!?"

The old man sighed lightly and said indifferently to Yu Ji: "That demigod young man is dead, and the old man is only the Supreme Elder of the Ice Clan now. But the story continues! When the demigod returned to the Permafrost Glacier, he found that his companions had gone into a dormant state. Because he could no longer receive the thoughts of other individuals, for him at that time, collective consciousness was equal to his own personal consciousness......" As he spoke, the old man looked into the void again and said to himself: "That young man felt the taste of freedom for the first time! After that, he traveled all over the Yuancang Realm, experienced countless adventures, and met Yu Qingyang and Zhang Tianzun in the Yu Wang City. Later, the young man returned to the Xuan Ice Domain and met the people he would protect with his life in Snow Valley. The lifespan of the Ice Clan is too short for a demigod. Nevertheless, he did not regret it, and hid his original name, and lived in Snow Valley with his children and grandchildren and the Ice Clan to this day......"

As she listened, her eyes flashed, and she stood up suddenly, stared at the old man, and said, "You have always known what is under the permafrost glacier! Living with the ice clan is also to protect this eternal resting place! You let my people enter the permafrost glacier, aren't you?" The old man turned his head and replied, "You can also say that." But you'd better listen to me before you make a decision. Fei Ji suppressed the suspicion in her heart and sat down again.

The old man continued: "When I visited the Imperial Palace, in order to persuade the undead to marry our clan, I also left a road map to the eternal frozen glacier in the Xuan Ice Domain in the Temple of Heavenly Knowledge. Ten thousand years ago, my Snow Valley was suddenly hit hard, and even the Holy Land was almost destroyed. After that, Luo Yun took the remaining elite forces of the Ice Clan and left the country without a trace. And I did my best to restore the crystal wall that blocked the cold. The price is what I look like now. So when your people flee from the royal city. When we went to the Xuan Ice Domain to take refuge in the permafrost glacier, my people and I had no time to take care of it. And when the Snow Valley finally settles down, your people have fallen in love with the hidden and vast dungeon beneath the glacier. About a year ago, all entrances to the permafrost glacier were suddenly blocked by a seal! Presumably, it was your people who accidentally touched the sleeping place of the twelve demigods in the dungeon. However, that doesn't mean they'll wake up right away. Well, at least not when Yu Qingyang's remnant soul came to me with Yu Jiu. ”

Hearing this, Yu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "So, they did enter the permafrost glacier?" The old man nodded, "Yes." The seal could only be lifted from within, and the only way to pass the seal was to be a demigod. I will give the token of my clan to Yu Jiu. And used the last bit of divine energy in his body to wrap them and send them into the seal. Originally, it only took 10 days to go back and forth. But now half a month has passed, and your people still don't come out. I guess I'm having a problem underground!"

The concubine pondered the meaning of the story, and suddenly stared at the old man cautiously and said, "Then, while speaking here. Does your consciousness belong to the individual or to the collective of the thirteen?" the old man looked at the concubine quietly. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Your senses are really keen. I'm very sorry, but my consciousness now doesn't belong to me personally!" Yu Ji frowned and said, "Then why do you still sue me about this?" The old man said, "Because we unanimously agreed on the decision to let you try to enter the permafrost glacier." Of course, you can also choose to leave. Yu Ji secretly clenched her fists and asked, "Elder Yu Jiu and Elder Yu Lu." Are all my people still alive?"

The old man said indifferently: "If you can enter the underground palace smoothly, you can live." If you can't get in, they have to be punished. The old man said, "There is a gate hidden in the depths of this snow valley holy land. It was pre-made by the demigods to welcome the arrival of the goddess Yuxi, specifically imitating the alchemy of the undead race. Like all the gates in the Imperial City, this one can only be opened by the power of the flesh alone. And to be able to push it, only Cheng Dù, who is physically strong enough to be like the goddess Yu Xi! In other words, the person who can open this door also proves that he himself has the foundation to become a god! The proud demigods do not believe that there is anyone else among the human beings who can open it except Yu Xi, so that gate is the only entrance that has not been sealed. From there, you can skip the layers of glaciers and permafrost that have been piled up for billions of years and go straight to the depths of the underground palace. And as long as you can pass the gate of Guò, then you are the most honored guest of the Yao clan. Yes, the guests will of course be able to enjoy some privileges, including talking to the Thirteen Demigods on an equal footing, offering them to release your people, and so on. ”

When she heard this, she secretly said in her heart: "I don't know what kind of demigod's strength will reach? And with my current physical strength, can I push open that gate? Hey! After thinking about it here, what's the use? I have gone through the same inheritance ceremony as the ancestors of Yu Xi back then, can I push it open, just try it!" Yu Ji made up her mind in her heart, and said to the old man: "Please bring me to that gate!"

The old man nodded, a smile seemed to flash on his cold face, he straightened his waist slightly, shook off his ice chips and said, "Don't worry too much. Your appearance now is exactly the same as that of the god of Yu Xi back then. It is precisely because of this that the demigods will agree to give you the opportunity to try. He turned his head to the door of the stone house and said, "Oh! It's already this time!"

Before the words fell, only a knock on the door was heard, and several young people of the Ice Clan followed the Ice Girl and Luo Feng in. As you can see from the open doorway, the house is already full of women and children, the elderly and children. It seems that the people in the snow valley have put down their work and rushed here to say goodbye to the old man. Luo Feng came to the old man and bowed, "Elder Tai, the ritual utensils have been prepared. The old man said, "Then let's go." Excuse me. ”

The two Ice Clan youths stepped forward to salute, sang a promise, and carefully lifted the Ice Elder up. A series of cracking sounds sounded in the room in an instant! I saw the flying lights flickering, the ice dust splashing everywhere, and the ice threads that connected the old man's hair and beard burst out and shattered into ice crystal powder.

Bang! At this moment, there was another loud bang from the mouth of the valley! It was like the sound of a mountain colliding! Luo Feng shouted: "It's the crystal wall that is starting to loosen! Go to the ice pool!" Hurriedly sat down with the remaining Ice Clan youths to the old man's original position! Close his eyes and concentrate, twisting the ice trick. Re-energize the leylines. However, the loud noise continued, and the entire snow valley seemed to shake slightly. There was a confusion outside the door, and the sound of a child crying began to be heard. At this time, Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The ice qi is insufficient! Ten more people will come!" The ten of them pushed forward together and injected their vitality into Luo Feng and the others. The cold air in the leylines reconnected with the ice pool, and thousands of ice threads appeared in the stone house again. Suddenly, an old man's whole body quickly froze, and in less than three breaths, he shattered into ice chips in front of everyone!

"Old man!" said an old woman rushed in from outside, holding the ice chips as if she wanted to cry without tears. And then he didn't wait for the persuasion of the people. The old woman sat cross-legged beside the pile of ice chips. He also injected his vitality into the ice pool. When half of the ten old men began to freeze, the crystal wall at the mouth of the valley finally settled.

Fei Ji watched the remnants of the Ice Clan, struggling to protect this paradise, and only felt a sense of sadness. Think about the undead, how could this not be the case, a once great race. In the blink of an eye, it was already necessary to do everything possible to survive.

Young. The old man was moved to the wooden sedan chair outside the house. Taking a breath, he looked at the people of the Ice Clan and said, "Everyone stand up again." When the inheritance ceremony is completed, Luo Ling will take my place. He turned to Concubine Ji and the Ice Maiden and said, "Let's go, follow me into the Snow Valley Holy Land!"

In the endless glacial caves. Fei Ji silently followed behind the Ice Clan. The icicles and ice shoots in the cave reflect the light of the stars, making the road in front of you almost visible. After walking for half a day, the team passed through an ice crevice, and suddenly opened up in front of them! But they saw a wide ice cave that could not be seen at a glance, and the peaks burst in, and the ice was solid. The peak tip bursts into the white ridge, and the ice is lined with knives and halberds. The silver pillars and silver beams are uneven, and the jade shoots and jade stamen meet each other. A ray of sunlight shines in from the top of the cave, like an ice and snow fairyland.

Walking into the dense ice forest to take a closer look, I saw that there were naked figures hidden among the many icicles! In some of the more subtle places, we could see that the human figures frozen in the ice crystals were about fifteen or sixteen years old, and their faces were vivid and lifelike, as if they were still alive! Yu Ji did not know that the ice technique was special, and she was only surprised to see such a scene for the first time. Follow the team to an ice platform, where they see a large semicircular container. The walls of the container are as transparent as jade, and it is full of spring water, and there is no half of it solidified in this cold place! Although it is not as magnificent and glorious as that of the undead, it is a very natural and pure place. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the old man say, "Girl." From here, you'll have to go on your own. The next inheritance ceremony is the secret of my Ice Clan, and it is inconvenient to show it to outsiders. ”

Naturally, she understood the protection of each clan's secrets, and stepped forward and said, "Okay. The old man then said to the ice girl: "Luo Ling." There are no outsiders here, go and open the secret passage. The Ice Maiden took the order, walked to the ice platform, and wiped the ice chips from it with her hands, revealing some exquisite and complex lines. But I saw her fingers tapping on the lines, as if plucking the strings. After a while, I felt a pop and vibrate under my feet, and a path cracked on the right side of the ice platform.

The old man said to the concubine again: "This path can lead directly to the gate, and the rest is up to you." She bowed again and said, "In any case, thank you for your guidance." So I won't bother. The old man looked at the concubine with a cold face, and suddenly whispered, "Remember." As long as you can open that door, then you have equal rights in the dungeon. Go for it!"

She didn't know why the old man kept emphasizing this, but she still bowed her head slightly and walked carefully into the path. She had just walked a few steps when she suddenly felt a chill behind her! When she turned her head, she saw a wall of ice chasing her and getting thicker, sealing the entrance to the path tightly!

Fei Ji smiled slightly, no longer hesitated at the moment, and ran straight to the depths of the path with a wave of her robe. This time I went to know that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, and the masters of the art were bold and lonely swords under the Longtan. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
