Chapter 66: Snow Lake Festival
Back in the god farmland, before the stunned soldiers came around, the white tiger had already thrown the two to the ground, flicked his tail and went back to the side to rest.
"It's so badly injured...... Xiao Xie turned the two over to check, and found that their shoulders were pierced, the ice thorns began to melt, the snow water penetrated into the flesh and blood, and they were bruised from the cold, both of them were pale and pale, biting their lips without saying a word, Xiao Yibai pointed to the Qianji Palace, and said, "Move them in first, I will interrogate them personally, you take people to guard the god's farmland, and no one is allowed to come in." ā
"Yes. Xiao Xie didn't dare to slack off, and when he walked over, the four soldiers lifted two of them and moved in, Shi Feng leaned over, looked at the motionless young pavilion master on his back, and said in a panic, "This is, what's going on?
"No need. Xiao Qianye and Xiao Yibai spoke almost at the same time, Xiao Yibai paused for a while, and saw that he did not continue to speak, so he continued, "You just need to guard the outside, this is cartilage poison, it will take about three hours to move, and you must not let people come in and disturb you." ā
"Okay!" Where did the two subordinates dare to joke anymore, even the soldiers stationed there picked up their weapons and began to patrol around the Thousand Machine Palace, Xiao Yibai carried him all the way to the snow lake in the apse, and then found a comfortable position to put him down.
Then the family crest in Xiao Qianye's sleeve rolled out and landed next to Xiao Yibai's feet.
"It's good that I didn't put away my glasses. Xiao Yibai picked up the family crest and stuffed it back into his arms, and said happily, "If you hadn't wittily pressed the eyes of the beasts the moment before you lost consciousness, so that I happened to see them through the light mirror, you would have been taken away by them." ā
"What are you kidding, they can take me out of the three-mile road right under your nose?" Xiao Qianye retorted, disdainful, "I'm afraid that the Thousand Machine Palace can't escape your eyes for dozens of miles, right?"
"It's over, and it's not that exaggerated. Xiao Yibai did not deny it, he had been living here for eight years, and he had already mastered the techniques used by the Bai Sect back then.
Although Xiao Qianye couldn't move, his eyes had already noticed the abnormality of the snow lake - this was actually an artificial lake, which was originally supposed to be dry, and there was no water all year round, only during the three days of the snow lake festival would the sect leader personally lead out the water of the glacier, he had seen the red lotus carved at the bottom of the lake, and there was a gear-shaped mechanism in the stamen, which required the sect leader to drip his own blood into it before it could be turned, but at this moment, the water in the snow lake was rippling, revealing a crystal shimmer, and the light of the red lotus flower also floated on the surface of the lake, and the central stamen bloomed with golden light.
"Ahh
The gorgeous brocade dress she was wearing was embroidered with a red lotus, her delicate face like a porcelain doll mechanically showed a cold smile, and the eyeball of her left eye was also in the shape of a lotus flower, obviously she was still a child, and her white hair had fallen to her waist.
"Flying Shadow. Xiao Qianye called out her name, and the girl had already put her whole face in front of him, almost snorting and chirping with her nose against her nose, and said delicately, "You can be regarded as falling into my hands, right?" Haha, then I can't let you go so easily!"
"Flying Shadow. Xiao Yibai also called out her name at the same time, but there was a bit of warning in her tone, Feiying tilted her head and looked at the person opposite, she didn't care at all, but reached out and pinched Xiao Qianye's face, and said with a smile, "You're so nervous? I won't do anything to him, it's just that the military pavilion master can appear in front of me like this, it's too rare! I have to have a good time with him." ā
As she spoke, she didn't know what strange spells she was chanting, but Xiao Yibai didn't stop her, but Xiao Qianye felt a little uncomfortable.
Can't move...... He tried to move his wrist hard, but his body was still like a puddle of mud out of his control.
"Come on, let's dance!" Flying Shadow smiled happily as she spread her fingers and made a marionette gesture towards the ground.
At the same time as she spoke, Xiao Qianye was surprised to find that her body clicked and stood up, as soon as her fingers moved, his body moved, Feiying happily manipulated his body, walking forward for a while, leaning back for a while, having fun and tiptoeing in a circle, as if he was really dancing!
"Stinky girl, do you want to be cut off by me?" Xiao Qianye threatened in a cold voice, Feiying pouted, raised his right index finger up, and controlled his right hand to raise it high, "Why are you talking to me like this, palm!"
"You dare!" Xiao Qianye's tone sank, and the frightened Feiying was also stunned for a moment, Xiao Yibai watched thoughtfully from the side, if this slap really went down, when he recovered, I am afraid that he would really cut off Feiying's hands, right? But he still felt that the scene in front of him was a little interesting, so he simply didn't speak, and watched quietly.
Xiao Qianye's hand was raised in the air and did not fight for a long time, but Feiying's cheeks were swollen and red, and his heart was still entangled, and the corners of his eyes glanced at Xiao Yibai from time to time.
"Hmph!" After a long time, the girl put down the index finger of her right hand angrily, but the other fingers moved faster, Xiao Qianye danced in the apse, dancing faster and faster, and after a while, she was already sweating profusely.
The body actually didn't feel tired, but Xiao Qianye knew in his heart that if he continued to play like this, he was afraid that he would be too tired to get out of bed tomorrow.
"Alright, Flying Shadow. Xiao Yibai obviously realized that he still had a lot of important things to do tomorrow, and finally stopped Feiying, the girl pouted unsatisfactorily, and muttered, "He can't move for at least three hours, I'll play for an hour!"
"No, I can't. Xiao Yibai stepped forward and grabbed a handful out of thin air under Feiying's hand, as if he really pulled those invisible threads, and then ripped them off with force.
Xiao Qianye immediately fell, and he quickly grabbed his younger brother's body and leaned him against the stone pillar next to him.
"It's almost time. Obviously feeling that his younger brother was very angry, Xiao Yibai hurriedly changed the topic awkwardly and pointed to the sparkling lake, "You can see her and see if she responds." ā
Flying Shadow pulled his head, looking disappointed, and jumped to the edge of the snowy lake, stretching out his hand to stir the water.
The shadow of the red lotus reflected in the lake was disturbed by the current, and those wonderful reds gradually spread to every corner of the snow lake, Feiying stepped on it lightly, and stood on the surface of the lake, she opened her hands, closed her eyes, and silently recited the ancient incantation.
Xiao Qianye saw this kind of strange and unpredictable thing for the first time, and couldn't help but concentrate, for fear of missing something, only to see the red light in the snow lake rising from the surface of the lake, condensing into blood-red water lilies, and the water lilies gradually bloomed, revealing the pale yellow stamens in the center, which really looked like a "lotus lamp".
He was astonished, it turned out to be a flower condensed by illusion! It covered the entire snow lake, like a "blood lake"!
Wonderful lines swam out of the center of the pale yellow stamens, extending towards the amber jade at the top of the Thousand Machines Palace, and then burrowed into the jade, blooming with a bright holy light, more dazzling than the light he had seen in the Ascending Immortal Road, illuminating the night for a moment.
"What is this doing?" he watched in horror, and he didn't understand what these strange rituals were trying to do, Xiao Yibai put his index finger between his lips, pointed to the snow lake, and motioned for him to continue looking.
Feiying has returned to the edge of the snow lake, she knelt down reverently, her hands stretched out and gently placed on the ground, Xiao Qianye was puzzled, and then looked at the snow lake, the illusion of the red lotus dissipated, and the lake water returned to its original clarity, his eyes widened at this moment, and he looked at the bottom of the lake incredibly-
A mountain of white bones, unknown white flowers swaying on the bones, Feng Ji sleeping peacefully among the white bones.
"Lord Feng Ji......" Feiying called to her softly, the water of the lake fluctuated slightly, and the person in the illusion at the bottom of the lake really opened his eyes and sat up slowly.
"Ahh
"Where is she?" Xiao Qianye keenly asked the eldest brother, but Xiao Yibai's expression seemed to be relieved, and said, "The water drawn out by the Snow Lake Festival comes from the source of the glacier, and the evil spirits and fierce beasts in the Jialuo territory dare not approach the glacier, I am afraid that it is because Feng Ji is there." ā
Glacier...... Xiao Qianye's eyes were serious, no wonder the eldest brother was so sure that the ice corpse couldn't cross the ice river before, it turned out that he knew the secrets in the ice river early on.
"Yes...... The people of the White Sect?" Feng Ji at the bottom of the water spoke softly, Xiao Yibai grabbed the flying shadow who was excited and wanted to jump into the water, bowed politely to her across the lake, and said, "My brother has already arrived in Jialuo, he will 'quell the rebellion' according to the plan, and then recapture the ancient jade Shenyue and return to the imperial capital, and then in the future, the wind demon will go to the valley of the Eastern Hell Confinement to destroy the heart of the nightmare, prevent the demon from resurrecting again, and at the same time will continue to track down the whereabouts of the earthbound spirit, Your Highness hopes to contact you at any time, after all, the matter of the three demons is very important." ā
"Feel free to reach me? well, yes, it's an ally, it should be. She breathed a sigh of relief, looking very haggard, the spirit phoenix fire in her palm ignited slightly, and suddenly frowned again, "Frost sky...... Frost Sky seems to have an accident. ā
"Frost Sky Phoenix?" Xiao Qianye's face changed in shock, "Is it the Frost Sky Phoenix in the Fine Snow Valley?"
"Well, I originally wanted Frost Sky to communicate with you because it can follow Yun Xiao...... However, I can't seem to reach it anymore. Feng Ji's eyebrows sank, and the phoenix fire burned more vigorously, but fine sweat also oozed from her forehead at the same time, "Someone trapped it with a very powerful magic circle around the fine snow valley, I had accidentally heard Yun Xiao's voice before, it seemed that something had happened to the fine snow valley at that time, they went to the frost sky lake and opened the mechanism under the lake, that mechanism is very strong, I personally set it up, it should be able to protect them, but ......"
She closed her eyes, trying to feel the breath of the frosty sky, which seemed to have encountered something and quietly did not respond to her call.
Xiao Qianye and his brother glanced at each other, and at the same time realized a serious thing - something happened to Xixue Valley!
"The formation is from Si Xingtai...... Ahem. Feng Ji began to cough, her face became more and more pale, and even the flames in her hands began to flicker, as if they would be extinguished at any time, but she still tried to breathe a sigh of relief, stood up with Bai Gu, and said, "I'll go and see......"
"Lord Fengji......! You don't look good. Xiao Yibai wanted to stop her, that day in the blue sea, she could still pull the giant turtle out of the deep sea with one hand, even the Night King had to be afraid of her, but she didn't see her for half a month, but she was like a dying patient!
"It doesn't matter. Feng Ji smiled at him, causing him to shake his mind suddenly, "I...... It's not going to die. ā
Then, the illusion of the snowy lake shattered, and the water began to leak to the bottom of the lake, but after a while it became a dry and empty lake.
"Ah Xiao......" Xiao Qianye broke out in a cold sweat, the two armies of the White Wolf and the White Tiger had encountered ice corpses one after another, and they even encountered a sneak attack near the Thousand Machine Palace, and now even the fine snow valley had an accident! All the things were undoubtedly aimed at him alone, and the two of them said that they would "capture" him alive, and seven or eight methods were prepared for this, the ice corpse, the ants, the fine snow valley, all of them were to deal with him!
Xiao Yibai bit his lip hard, he was careless, at that time, when more than 20 wounded people suddenly came in Xixue Valley, he should have realized that there was a problem, but he was still too worried that the ant on his brother's body left Xixue Valley!
Nothing will happen to the valley owner, right...... And that Yunxiao...... He turned his head to look at his younger brother, he was sitting on the ground, his body trembling instinctively, and his eyes had long since turned the familiar ice blue.
If Yun Xiao has an accident, I'm afraid that this younger brother will go crazy!
"Heavenly Expedition Bird! Quick, go and find the Heavenly Expedition Bird!" When Xiao Qianye came back to his senses again, he didn't even lose his tone, his body couldn't move, he could only cast all his hopes on his eldest brother, "You go and call the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird in, and let it take me to the Fine Snow Valley!"
"The way you are now, what if half of the road is intercepted?" Xiao Yibai replied and scolded, "Jia Luo doesn't have an air legion, who can keep up with the speed of the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird? If I throw you up alone, wouldn't it be equivalent to throwing you directly into the hands of the enemy?"
Xiao Qianye didn't reply, and reasoned to tell him that his eldest brother was right, but his body had to recover at least at dawn, and he couldn't wait for a moment!
"Let's interrogate those two people first. Xiao Yibai's eyes were bright, he glanced at Feiying, and ordered, "Qianji Palace is not safe, you go to Fulong Town now to find Elder Mo, and then go with him to the stronghold of the Wind Demon, Qianye, I will take you to interrogate what the two people were just now." ā
"Most of them are people from the dark side of the forbidden army, and even if you kill them, you won't be able to judge anything. Xiao Qianye still forced himself to calm down, only to hear Xiao Yibai sneer, "Don't worry, I have 10,000 ways for them to spit out what they know, those evil techniques of the White Sect, I have long wanted to find someone to try them." ā
"Hey...... Where are you going?" Feiying didn't know the current situation, she cautiously rushed over and tugged at Xiao Yibai's sleeve, muttering, "Didn't you say that you would take me away after you stepped down this time? Why did you throw me to Elder Mo again? IāI don't want to follow him......"
"Obedient. Xiao Yibai didn't have the patience to explain too much to a child, Feiying pouted, snorted and threw him off, and trotted back to the secret room alone.
"Let's go. Xiao Yibai didn't care if she was losing her temper or not, he helped his younger brother who couldn't move and walked towards the Qianji Palace, the two people were tied up and thrown in the center of the hall, and the blood on their shoulders had frozen into ice.
Di Ya was still looking at Xiao Qianye with a smile, as if she couldn't feel the pain in her shoulder at all, and when she saw him being held aside by Xiao Yibai, she couldn't help but sneer: "Yo, the military pavilion master still can't move! I thought that with the ability of the White Tiger General, I would probably be able to cure the cartilage poison for you, but as a result, but that's it." ā
"Although I have a little research on poisoning, the detoxification is really not good, you are people from the dark department. Xiao Yibai ignored the other party's provocation, and asked the core question directly, "What is the purpose of Governor Gao's sending you?"
"Do you really think I'm going to tell you the truth?" Di Ya looked at them strangely and kicked his companion Lan Zhou, "Don't bother, we have been punished by all kinds, if we didn't want to see what happened to the Pavilion Master, we would have killed ourselves with the poison in our bodies." ā
"I'll be able to make you open your mouth even if you're dead. Xiao Yibai looked at this arrogant woman coldly, picked up Lan Zhou's collar with one hand, the man was obviously not as calm as her, at this time he was already covered with cold sweat and his lips were black, Xiao Yibai's white sleeves flashed with cold light, and a sharp lancet cut his cervical vertebrae in an instant!
"The Lancet...... Lan Xin was killed by you!" Diya's face changed in shock, and she blurted out something surprising, and then she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and bit her lip tightly.
Afraid...... She finally had an inexplicable fear of the person in front of her at this moment, and every cell in her body began to tremble.
"Lan Xin?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and he had already guessed most of them, "Lan Xin's body was finally taken away by Governor Gao, he must have asked someone else to do a more detailed autopsy, and then he will also hand over this information to the dark department to investigate the truth, right?"
Diya didn't dare to reply again, feeling that she would say the wrong thing in front of him at any time, so she simply shut up and didn't say a word.
"As I just said, even if you die, you can open your mouth, otherwise I wouldn't have killed him so quickly. Xiao Yibai looked at her indifferently, and pointed to the corpse of her companion on the ground, the corpse's eyes were round, but the pupils were not out of focus, so that she couldn't tell if Lan Zhou was really dead for a while, Xiao Yibai kicked the corpse, making him face up, and said, "Do you know......? Pull it out. ā
He spoke softly and calmly, but his subordinates did something that made Diya stunned - I saw his fingers draw a few circles on Lan Zhou's head, and then like a strange gray mist, a cloud of things was pulled out of his corpse!
"It's not going to work yet, though, but it's barely enough to get him to say something I want to know. He smiled mysteriously, and didn't know what was going on in his mouth, which made Xiao Qianye on the side couldn't help frowning in disgust, and then, the gray mist gradually turned into Lan Zhou's face, just looking forward with an expressionless face, Xiao Yibai turned the mist, let him face himself, and asked, "Who sent you?"
"Yes...... Total...... Dark ...... "The mist is not clear, Xiao Yibai is a little surprised, it has become like this, and he can still keep secrets?"
"Lan Zhou, wake up!" Di Ya said something strange to herself, and she didn't know if Lan Zhou could really hear it, so she said anxiously, "Your aunt is still ...... It's still in their hands, if you leak the secret, they will kill your mother!"
"Oh, what a loyalty engraved in my bones. Xiao Yibai praised coldly, that face seemed to understand Diya's words, revealing the fear and sadness that only living people have, Xiao Yibai's hand shook, and for some reason he had some sympathy.
The dark department is a special unit of the forbidden army, the wind demon once fought with them, these people seem to be killers picked up and cultivated by Gao Chengchuan everywhere, there are many people who still have traces left by the test pills, they are very loyal, only those who have experienced all kinds of inhuman punishments, and can still keep their mouths shut can finally become members of the dark department, once they let go of their mouths in the punishment of the dark department, they will be killed together with their families!
Such loyalty is undoubtedly forced, but most people will sacrifice themselves for the sake of their families.
"Well, I'll see for myself. Aware of these problems, he crushed the necromancer in his hand and closed his eyes as he listened carefully for the last whispers in the fragments.
Diya had already bitten her lip and looked at Xiao Yibai in horror - what kind of terrifying spell was this! He could actually peek into the memory of the necromancer by himself?
"Even the memory is controlled. Xiao Yibai sighed, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he suddenly turned to Di Ya, word by word, "The person who can do this, except for the Great Si Ming Cen Ge who is still frozen in the White Sect, is only the current palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace, An Yu, am I right?"
His icy blue eyes looked directly at Diya, making the other party lose his mind in an instant, and said stiffly: "An Yu Palace Lord has gone to Xixue Valley, she wants to use Yun Xiao to attract the military pavilion master, and take the opportunity to arrest the two at the same time, Lord Governor, Star Saintess, and Your Majesty...... Hmm!"
Before the words fell, there was a crisp "click", and Diya's neck was instantly broken by a nameless force and hung down.
"Star Sacrifice Palace, Governor Gao, Star Saintess, and ...... Your Majesty?" Xiao Qianye was shocked and repeated these names that were enough to subvert Feiyuan, Xiao Yibai unwillingly inspected the other party's corpse, and said angrily, "It's a soul control technique! I was almost able to tempt her to tell all the things, but someone was the first to detonate the soul technique in my body! The other party was able to kill her in front of my eyes!"
Xiao Qianye didn't hear the eldest brother's words at all, his eyes were terrified, and he repeated Di Ya Fangcai's words: "The palace master of Anyu has already gone to the fine snow valley, Ah Xiao...... Ah Xiao is in danger!"
Xiao Yibai secretly calculated, to go to the fine snow valley here, the fastest heavenly expedition bird will take a day and a night, the white tiger will take two whole days, and the soldiers on foot will have to spend at least half a month!
Not to mention...... Xiao Yibai broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to think about it, to go to the fine snow valley, he had to pass through the Weeping Snow Plateau, the Glacier Forest and the Glacier River, and there were six teams of White Tigers, White Wolves and Tianma patrolling along the road, if the other party intended to block it, the three legions of the military pavilion would undoubtedly be attacked.
"I have ordered all regiments to suspend routine patrols. Xiao Qianye knew what he was thinking, and continued, "As soon as I arrived in the territory of Jialuo, I encountered a lot of strange things, and in order to prevent the legion from being in danger, I had already ordered them to stay put, the only exception should be...... Huo Cang! He's on his way to Qianji Palace right now!"
"I'll go find him, and you wait until your body recovers before you act. Xiao Yibai calmly made a decision, squatted down in front of his younger brother, and stretched out his hand to point on his forehead.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Qianye looked at him vigilantly, only to see Xiao Yibai sigh and smile faintly, "You must be in a hurry now, but you have to go to bed first, I said that I am not good at detoxification, and I can't help you now, I can't move anyway, instead of wasting physical strength, it's better to have a good rest." ā
"Where can I sleep now!" Xiao Qianye scolded, but he really felt a strong sense of exhaustion coming over him, making him unable to open his eyelids, "You, what did you do?"
Xiao Yibai had already stood up and walked outside the Thousand Machines Palace, and Xiao Xie and Shi Feng were already waiting for him at the door.
"Shi Feng, clean up the two corpses inside, the three teams of the White Tiger are on standby, Xiao Xie, you guard the military pavilion master, don't leave a single step. ā
"Yes. The adjutant general had already sensed the crisis, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the inside of the Thousand Machines Palace, where the young pavilion master leaned on the stone pillar and fell asleep.
Xiao Xie walked in carefully, touched Xiao Qianye, and glanced at Xiao Yibai who turned around and left embarrassedly, he and the young pavilion master had patrolled together many times, this person was actually very vigilant, and he would not sleep very deeply, and now he was breathing steadily, and he didn't even react to pushing him by himself, this must be some strange spell, right?
"It's better to lie down and sleep, or you'll have a sore back when you wake up." Xiao Xie muttered in his mouth, helped the young pavilion master to lay him flat on the ground, and took off his winter clothes to cover him, he leaned on the stone pillar, and guarded inch by inch.
