Stratus clouds are condensed, and the sky and the earth are hazy.

The thirteen states of all souls are the most cold and white.

Bailuya, the land of the far north, is one of the thirteen states of Ten Thousand Souls. It is also the coldest and most remote place in the Ten Thousand Souls. The so-called: "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear", which is probably nothing more than that. To put it simply, chickens don't poop, birds don't lay eggs, the sky doesn't rain, and the ground doesn't produce a place.

In this inaccessible place, a long row of footprints suddenly appeared on the snow.

The wind is bitter, and the wind and snow are merciless.

The footprints in the distance were gradually buried by the wind and snow, but new footprints were stepped out in the distance.

The owner of the footprints belonged to an emaciated teenager.

The boy looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had very little clothes. Except for a few strips of cloth that tightly wrapped the important parts, the rest of the place was exposed in the wind and snow. If it weren't for the fact that there were few people here, the appearance of the boy would be simply running naked in public.

The emaciated boy looked like a hungry little beggar at all times—ragged and unkempt.

But even though he was not clothed, even though the wind and snow were blowing, the young man's steps were very firm, and his eyes were not flustered at all.

I don't know where this young man came from, or where he wants to go.

The boy simply walked forward step by step.

Neither pause nor look back.

Who is this young man? Why can he withstand this biting cold? And why did he appear in Bailuya, where the sun is covered by wind and snow, and there are no stars or moons?

In addition to the sound of wind and snow whistling in the world, there is only the "crunch" sound of the boy's feet stepping on the snow.

"Crunch-crunch-"

I don't know how long it took to walk, but the young man's expression changed slightly.

A stone pillar covered with snow faintly appeared in the vast wind and snow, and three big characters were engraved on the pillar - "Thirty Miles".

The height of the stone pillar is no more than one zhang, and the thickness is only one person hugging it, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary stone pillar. But when the young man saw this stone pillar, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his originally somewhat gray face looked better, and the corners of his mouth also curled a little.

"Already...... It's been thirty ...... Thirty miles. ”

I don't know if it's because it's freezing or because the boy stutters, his words are intermittent.

The boy stopped, then bent his knees slightly, his hands suddenly opened outward, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of gray-white turbidity visible to the naked eye.

"Whew-"

Immediately, an inexplicable mysterious aura faintly appeared around the young man's body. With the appearance of this aura, the wind and snow seemed to be isolated, and it was difficult to stay on him for a moment!

What is this breath? It's so mysterious!

After gently exhaling the turbid breath, the young man's face gradually became better. Then the boy continued to lift his feet, and the pace became faster and faster!

"This can only be mobilized...... These internal forces are up. The boy muttered to himself.

It turned out that the mysterious aura that lingered around the young man's body before turned out to be an internal force?

Internal strength is one of the important manifestations of a Jianghu person who can be called a master.

In the Ten Thousand Souls Heavenly Martial Arts, there is a recognized hierarchy.

According to internal strength and martial arts cultivation, the Jianghu people can be roughly divided into seven levels. In the eyes of insiders, martial arts is one step and one heaven, so these seven levels are called "martial arts seven heavens".

The seven levels from lowest to highest are: Entering the Technique Realm (or Entry, One Heavy Heaven), Inner Passage Realm (or Tongxi, Twofold Heaven), Inner Merge Realm (or Combined Move, Triple Heaven), Ming Mind Realm (or Mingshi, Quadruple Heaven), Triple Realm (or Samadhi, Five Heavens), Grandmaster Realm (or Dacheng, Six Heavens), and the legendary Martial Saint Realm (Seventh Heaven).

It is rumored that in order to be able to release the true qi in the body, at least to reach the "inner realm" of the three heavens.

I can't see that the young man is weak and young, and he is actually a young master in the rivers and lakes!

"Crunch-crunch-"

The boy's pace was noticeably faster, and his breathing was not as rapid as before.

I don't know how long it took, but there was still heavy snow and a cold wind howling around.

The boy repeated the seemingly meaningless action like this, but the look on his face was full of tenacity and anticipation.

The boy walked briskly, his hands clenched tightly.

"Also...... No...... Is it there?" the young man's expression was already faintly eager.

Even though his face became more and more pale, the young man's pace did not slow down—he walked firmly one step at a time, towards the unknown ahead.

Continuing along the vast "Wind and Snow Road" where the boy walked, there was a fork in the road leading to the left and right sides.

The road on the left is wide, and the wind and snow are still there, and the sky is endless, leading to an unknown distance. The right side of the road is narrow and winding, but the end is faintly visible.

Continue along the road on the right for about 2 miles.

The mountains on both sides of the area rise high into the sky, just to keep the endless wind and snow at bay. Although there is still no sunlight, the scenery is unobstructed by the wind and snow: it is a wide valley, and it is still white. But in the middle of the valley there is a huge stone pillar. This pillar is the same as the previous one with the inscription "Thirty Miles", although it is covered in ice and snow, the structure and color of the pillar can still be seen - it is obviously the same material as the previous one. But this pillar is much taller and thicker than the previous one.

Roughly speaking, this stone pillar is five zhang high, and it is thicker than three people hugging each other.

This stone pillar is also engraved with three big characters -

One hundred miles!

On a cliff not far from this large stone pillar, there is a small stone house.

The stone house is snow-white and blends in with the surrounding environment, so you can't find it without looking closely.

At this moment, there were three people sitting in the stone house and one person standing.

The three people seated were all middle-aged, but their attire and demeanor were different. Except for the middle-aged man on the far left wearing a dark gray cotton coat, who looked indifferent, the other two were all sad and solemn.

"Brother Jiang, in your opinion, can Shen Qi of the village pass the trial of this 'Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road'?"

It was the middle-aged man who was sitting in the middle of the three of them. This person was wearing a pale cyan cotton coat, and a milky white jade was hanging from his waist. Dressed in simple and elegant clothes, he should be an elegant person. But when I looked up, although the long hair was neatly combed, it was indeed gray. Although his eyes are full of vicissitudes, he can be regarded as a god, and he should be an old and strong person.

This person's surname is Shen Ming, and he is the owner of the "Yingxue Villa", the first force in the vast White Deer Ya.

"Hehe, Master Shen Zhuang is an interesting question! I have never seen the 'Holy Son' of Guizhuang before, how can I know this Shen Qi's ability? Even so, how dare I say it in vain! If I don't listen to it, won't I greatly offend Guizhuang?"

The person who spoke was the middle-aged man in a dark gray cotton coat with an indifferent expression, that is, the "Brother Jiang" in Shen Yiyi's mouth.

This person's surname is Jiang, and his name is Jingzhao. It is a member of the Jiang family in Yuanzhou, one of the thirteen states of all souls.

Speaking of the Yuanzhou Jiang family, it can be said that no one knows and no one knows. Just because the ancestor of the Jiang family is a generation of heroes - "lame man Jiang Xuan". Speaking of this Jiang Xuan, it is another magnificent and thrilling story, which is not pressed at the moment.

Because of Jiang Jingzhao's background, all factions in the Central Plains martial arts have to give three points of thin noodles, and "Yingxue Mountain Villa" is no exception!

Shen didn't intend to smile, nor was he angry, and said indifferently: "Brother Jiang brought Ling Yan thousands of miles to watch the ceremony here. ”

"Hehe, Lord Shen Zhuang is polite. Jiang Jingzhao bowed his hand slightly, and said with a slightly proud expression: "Since Lord Shen Zhuang is full of fists, Jiang is not good at saving your face." However, the ugly words are said in the front, and Jiang's shallow views are difficult to get into the hall of elegance. If you are offended, don't blame the Snow Villa. With that, his eyes swept over Shen Wuyi and the middle-aged man on the far right with an angry face.

"Brother Jiang is polite, please advise. Shen had no intention of smiling faintly, and secretly pressed the right hand of the middle-aged man on the right side that was clenched tightly.

"Jiang has always heard that Yingxue Villa's No. 1 Miracle Skill 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun' can 'transform' an ordinary person with no foundation in martial arts into a martial arts master with profound internal skills in a short period of time. Jiang Jingzhao smiled and said, "Tsk, it's really magical, like a trick." ”

"You!" The middle-aged man on the right couldn't bear it anymore and took the case.

"Third brother!"

Shen Wuyi's voice was not high, but it made the middle-aged man with an angry face sit back obediently.

"Apologies. ”

Shen Yiyi's voice and expression were indifferent, but it made the middle-aged man look stunned.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth secretly, then got up and arched his hand at Jiang Jingzhao and said, "Fourth Master Jiang, Shen Wuming has offended!

"Shen Sanye is polite. Jiang Jingzhao arched his hand slightly, and said with a slight squint in his eyes: "Jiang Mou's knowledge is shallow, and I hope that Shen Sanye will not blame him." ”

Jiang Jingzhao bit the word "three" very hard, and the third master, Shen Wuming, couldn't help but flick his sleeves and sat back.

"Brother Jiang, please continue. Shen said without intention.

"Jiang heard that Guizhuang's 'Wind and Snow Road Trial' has three layers. They are the 'Thirty Mile Wind and Snow Trail', the 'Hundred Mile Wind and Snow Trail' and the most difficult 'Three Hundred Mile Wind and Snow Trail'. ”

Jiang Jingzhao picked up the teacup on the case, shook it slightly, and continued: "Since this Shen Qi of Guizhuang dares to break into this 'Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road', he must have passed the 'Thirty Miles Wind and Snow Road' trial early. Since he has this courage, in Jiang's opinion, this 'Seven Holy Sons' is either courageous and capable. Either ......"

Shen didn't intend not to answer, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers lightly tapped up and down on the case, waiting for Jiang Jingzhao's next words.

“...... It's just that the brain is not very good. Jiang Jingzhao took a sip of tea lightly, looking quite disdainful.

"It's not easy to use a brain!" Shen Wuming suddenly changed color, and snorted angrily: "It's not your Laoshizi's 'ten-year covenant' that hurts!"

Shen Wuyi stretched out his left hand, suddenly pressed Shen Wuming's clenched right hand, and then laughed loudly.

I saw that the teacup on the wooden table beside Shen Wuyi suddenly shattered!

The teacup in Jiang Jingzhao's hand also shook slightly, and then a crack appeared on the cup!

"Master Shen Zhuang, what a pure internal cultivation!" Jiang Jingzhao's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice.

Shen Yiyi glanced at Jiang Jingzhao and said, "How can the 'Stealing Heaven and Changing the Sun' in the Zhuang District be compared to the 'Phaseless Divine Skill' passed down by Jiang Xuan's heroes." In this little trick, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Brother Jiang, see me. ”

Jiang Jingzhao was shocked, and immediately understood that Shen had no intention of using his previous words to squeeze him!

"Phaseless Divine Skill" is the supreme divine skill passed down by Jiang Xuan. Formless, all-encompassing, all-encompassing, all-encompassing, all-encompassing. Once the internal force of Wuxianggong invades the body, the internal force of the whole body will be dissolved invisibly, and you will not be able to exert any strength at all! No matter how great you are, you can only be slaughtered by others. It is the "first miracle in the world" that has been rumored on the rivers and lakes for a hundred years!

And Jiang Jingzhao is not very qualified in martial arts among the children of the Jiang family in this generation, although he has practiced the "Phaseless Divine Skill", but he is only rough and superficial. How can it compare to Shen Wuyi, who ranked seventh on the "Jianghu Master List"?

And Shen Yiyi's move is also to warn Jiang Jingzhao: What can you do if you have an invincible ancestor in the world? What if your Jiang family has the world's number one divine skill? With your Jiang Jingzhao's kung fu, I, Shen Wuyi, don't need to show real skills at all! As long as you gently reveal your internal strength and cultivation, it is enough to make you scared!

Jiang Jingzhao instantly felt a chill on his back spine, and his palm was cold unconsciously, but he didn't notice a few more cracks in the teacup in his palm because he was stunned.

"Daddy!"

The one who shouted was the only one of the four standing - Jiang Jingzhao's daughter Jiang Shan.

This Jiang Shan looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty appearance, but with a three-point morbidity.

She was standing in front of a large transparent hedron in the stone house, facing the huge stone pillar not far away. Through this transparent spar, you can just see the scene around the stone pillar not far away.

Jiang Shan had been paying attention to the stone pillar outside the spar, but she hadn't heard the conversation between Jiang Jingzhao and Shen Wuming and Shen Wuming at all, and she didn't care at all.

At this moment, there was a trace of surprise and curiosity on Jiang Shan's pale face.

The three people sitting looked at her one after another, but Jiang Shan didn't look back, but stared at the spar with some excitement and said, "That Shen Qi has appeared!"

Shen Wuyi and Shen Wuming glanced at each other, and saw a trace of excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.

Jiang Jingzhao also looked surprised, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. Who knew that as soon as the teacup touched the wooden case, it shattered into several pieces with a "snap", and the tea splashed Jiang Jingzhao's body.

It's just that at this moment, the three of them all looked at the transparent spar, and no one paid attention to Jiang Jingzhao, who was slightly embarrassed.

At the fork in the road, the figure of the young Shen Qi really appeared.

Shen Qi's eyes were already a little difficult to open because of the frost stickiness of his eyelashes, the hot breath he exhaled quickly turned into white mist, and his legs became numb from walking in the ice and snow for a long time.

Although he looked extremely embarrassed at the moment, his expression was quite excited, because he had already seen the tall stone pillars in the distance.

"Finally...... It's finally here!"

Shen Qi cheered, dragged his legs, which were about to lose consciousness, and limped towards the stone pillar.

"Quack-squeak-squeak-squeak-"

One hundred steps......

Fifty steps......

Thirty steps......

"Quack-squeak-squeak-squeak-"

The four people who stayed in the stone house also seemed to hear the slight but determined footsteps.

Finally seeing Shen Qi's ragged appearance clearly, Jiang Shan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He ...... How could he bear it?"

I don't know if she also felt the severe cold that Shen Qi suffered, Jiang Shan couldn't help but sigh out, rubbed her little cold hands, and her face was shocked.

Shen Wuyi's expression was quite calm, but the clenched fists showed that he was not as indifferent as he appeared. Shen Wuming's face on the side was full of shock and worry, and there were faint tears in the corners of his eyes.

Because, Shen Qi, who participated in the trial of the "Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road" outside, is his own grandson!

At this moment, Shen Qi was only ten steps away from the big stone pillar engraved with "One Hundred Miles"! But his footsteps, which had never stopped, finally stopped......

Shen Qi looked at the big stone pillar that was only ten steps, gritted his teeth fiercely, and wanted to continue to move his legs. But because of the cold, his legs have completely lost any sensation.

"Quick...... Move fast!"

The boy's teeth creaked as he grinned.

However, not only his legs, but even his body and hands began to become numb, and his consciousness became less and less conscious.

The boy cried out in a hurry!

However, before the tears could reach the wings of the nose, they had turned into ice droplets, quietly rolling down and falling into the snow.

Jiang Shan, the girl standing in front of the transparent spar, also had a trace of tears rolling down the corner of her eyes, and her hands, which were originally a little red and swollen, were also clenched tightly.

"Ah Qi ......" Shen Wuming no longer has the demeanor of an elder master, his hands clawed tightly and tightly clasped the transparent spar, and he actually deducted ten finger holes!

Shen didn't mean to say anything, just sighed softly.

"No...... No, I can't!"

Shen Qi roared.

"Moving...... Get moving!"

"Ask for ...... Please...... Let's move......"

The feeling of drowsiness in his head made Shen Qi want to fall asleep.

Shen Qi roared angrily, took a breath, and shouted angrily: "I...... No...... Don't throw in the towel!"

Immediately, that mysterious aura appeared again, and Shen Qi's hands gradually became conscious, but his expression became a little hideous.

After a few breaths, my feet were still numb.

The expected result did not appear, Shen Qi actually jumped forward suddenly, but fell to the ground because his legs were numb and his body did not obey the call!

I saw him roll on the ground twice, covered with snow, and he was only a few steps away from the big stone pillar!

Shen Qi raised his head with difficulty, ignoring the ice and snow on his face, his eyes struggled to open a slit, and glanced at the big stone pillar in front of him. laughed at himself, and just wanted to fall asleep.

Immediately, Shen Qi seemed to think of something, his hands turned into claws, and he suddenly stretched forward and buckled into the ground!

"Brush—"

Shen Qi actually dragged his body forward with both hands!

"Smack!"

With a muffled sound, Shen Qi's right hand had already tightly grasped the big stone pillar.

"Ah————h

Shen Qi's hands formed claws, clasped the big stone pillar tightly, his arms suddenly exerted force, and then his body rose off the ground.

The next moment, Shen Qi hugged the big stone pillar tightly!

His eyes were completely invisible, but Shen Qi's hands were tightly clasped at the bottom of the stone pillar.

Finally, unable to support his body any longer, Shen Qi felt a huge sleepiness hit him, and he immediately lost consciousness completely.

The body slowly fell forward, and with the weight of his body, Shen Qi's hands pressed down heavily on the bulge he had held before, and then there was a sound of movement inside the big stone pillar......

"When-when-when-"

Three dull metal crashes resounded through the valley!

A moment later, four figures appeared beside Shen Qi.

Shen Wuming gently picked up Shen Qi's somewhat stiff body, and a pure and profound internal force was slowly conveyed over, but it was rebounded by a breath of ignorance. Shen Wuming was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, and his expression was sad.

Feeling the cold coming from his grandson, Shen Sanye couldn't hold back any longer, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"The golden bell rings, the trial is completed!" Shen Yiyi's voice also trembled a little.

Looking at Shen Qi, who had passed out completely in Shen Wuming's arms, Jiang Jingzhao was expressionless. Jiang Shan pursed her lips tightly, as if there was something more in her eyes.

......

Between the mountains stands a gray and white building. If you look closely, it's a huge manor!

The main entrance of the manor is gray and white, and it looks majestic and eclectic even on this vast snowfield.

The plaque hung high is engraved with four majestic golden characters -

Yingxue Mountain Villa.

The west wing of Yingxue Mountain Villa.

Shen Qi, a "beggar" boy who was still struggling in the vast snow, was lying on the small wooden bed in the room at the moment, his chest was undulating, his breathing was even, and he was obviously sleeping well.

At this moment, the door squeaked open.

It was a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl has a pretty face. In particular, those large, smart eyes seem to be able to speak.

The girl has no complicated and gorgeous clothes, only a plain white dress, but it shows her delicate figure just right.

The girl tiptoed to the window, quietly arched herself and looked at Shen Qi, who was still asleep.

"Little Seven, Little Seven!"

Calling softly twice, Shen Qi did not react.

The girl's big smart eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth twitched into a wicked smile. Then the girl stretched out her slender jade hand and gently pinched Shen Qi's nose.

"Little lazy pig, let you sleep!" said the girl viciously.

However, after a long while, Shen Qi still did not react.

The girl was a little stunned.

"Ahh

The girl puffed out her hands on her hips, and the corners of her mouth twitched, thinking about it.

I saw the girl gently put her head to Shen Qi's ear, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "The Elder of the Punishment is here!"

Shen Qi's eyes opened suddenly, and his hazy consciousness gradually became clear.

"Palm...... Execution...... Long...... Elders?"

Shen Qi turned out to be really a stuttering teenager!

After settling down, Shen Qi supported himself.

Where is there any punishment elder, only a laughing out of breath girl in white.

See that pretty face. Although it was not a stunning thing in the world, it made Shen Qi's mood immediately much better.

"Five...... Fifth sister. ”

Whispering hello, Shen Qi laughed.

Looking at Shen Qi, who was in shock, the girl couldn't help but pamper: "You lazy worm, don't get up quickly! Be careful that the Elder Commander invites you to eat 'braised pork'......"

Before the words were finished, I don't know if I thought of the scene where Shen Qi was violently beaten by the ruling elder, and the girl herself had already "giggled" and laughed.

"Hey...... Hehe......" Shen Qi also scratched his head and laughed.

After laughing for a while, the girl sat down lightly on the edge of the bed and turned her head to look at Shen Qi, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Qi, you ...... Did you pass?" the girl asked.

Shen Qi lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head a little dazedly.

"No!" the girl's eyes widened, "Even you didn't pass through, but you have three hundred years of internal strength!"

If the people in the rivers and lakes heard the girl's words, they would probably have been so frightened that they would have fallen to the ground, or they would have pulled out their long swords and were going to fight her for a thousand rounds.

Who doesn't know that internal skills are difficult to practice?

People who can live to the age of seventy or eighty in this life can be regarded as birthday stars. Even if you start practicing from your mother's womb, you will only have seventy or eighty years of strength when you are old!

Even Jiang Xuan, the "lame man" who dominated the rivers and lakes back then, was able to obtain the internal strength of Yijiazi because of chance, and since then he has been proud of the rivers and lakes, and he is no longer invincible.

Why did the girl in front of her say that Shen Qi, who was only sixteen years old, had three hundred years of internal strength?

It's a ridiculous joke!

Could it be that this girl is crazy?

The girl is certainly not a madman.

Shen Qi also really has three hundred years of internal strength.

This is a long story......
