Chapter 1103: Frozen Village
On the way to the west, Jiang Liu secretly praised himself.
Although the Calamity Book has been lost, for Jiang Liu, it can be said that it is worth the price if using the Calamity Book can divide the relationship between Buddhism and the Heavenly Court.
After experiencing a great war, Kong Xuan's heart must still have doubts about the fact that the Jade Emperor is a mysterious person.
And what about the Jade Emperor? Naturally, he also hated him to the core.
Now, Kong Xuan turned into the identity of the Liuli King Buddha and wanted to seize the Kongtong seal in his hand, but instead let the Kongtong seal fall into the hands of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and the Jade Emperor was even more annoyed.
If the Jade Emperor found out that the Liuli King Buddha was actually pretending to be Kong Xuan, then the relationship between him and Kong Xuan would inevitably deteriorate further.
"Yes, yes, knowing that the Calamity Book can no longer be saved, it is the perfect response to be able to evolve the situation into the way it is now, right?" Thinking of the current situation, Jiang Liu nodded with satisfaction.
Secretly praise yourself for your response.
Airplanes!
It's just that when Jiang Liu and his party were walking halfway and were very satisfied with their response, suddenly, the void was distorted, and then, a figure appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
"Fellow Daoist, don't come to harm!" The figure saluted Jiang Liu slightly, it was none other than the evil corpse.
"You, don't you ......"
Normally, the evil corpse has always been on the awakening page, awakening skills, and suddenly seeing the evil corpse appear in front of him, Jiang Liu's face changed slightly, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Well, that's right, the skill of the Weakness Charm has been awakened!" Seeing Jiang Liu's extremely happy look, the evil corpse of course also knew what Jiang Liu was thinking, and nodded and said.
"Really? That's great!" Hearing the evil corpse's answer, Jiang Liu's face was full of joy.
The two skills of the sheep transformation technique and the weakness charm have been awakened, so what kind of skills should be awakened next?
After thinking about it, Jiang Liu felt that the skill of closed-mouth meditation was the most suitable.
It's just that everyone awakens their own skills, and the evil corpse can only awaken the skills of his magician.
He doesn't know the skill of Closed Mouth Meditation, and if he wants to awaken this Closed Mouth Meditation skill, he has to do it himself, right?
And the time it takes to awaken a skill is not short.
"Well, these days, you and the good corpse have lowered their levels a little because they haven't had a dungeon, and then, you two should also brush up on the experience points, and strive to reach the level of Da Luo Jin Xian!" Regarding the matter of entering the awakening page, Jiang Liu thought about it, pressed it for the time being, and thought about it in the long run, and at the same time, said to the evil corpse with his mouth.
"Okay, got it!" the evil corpse nodded.
A few days ago, Kong Xuan had been monitoring the team traveling west to learn scriptures, so neither he nor the good corpse had a copy, and the level did fall a little.
Next, the days of half a month passed in a flash.
"Master, do you feel that this temperature is a little strange!?" On this day, walking on the road, suddenly Sun Wukong spoke.
"Is the temperature a little strange?" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu also looked at the sky in surprise.
The wind was cold, the snow was flying, and the grass on the side of the road was frozen into a patch of frost.
"Wukong, from the perspective of the world, it's already November, and it's snowing lightly, nothing strange, right?" Jiang Liu said after looking at the change in the sky.
"It snowed in November, and it is indeed reasonable, but the temperature is a little unusually low!" Listening to Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong said.
"Yes, Holy Monk, what the Great Sage said is very true, this temperature is too low!" As Sun Wukong's words fell, the white rat spirit next to him also nodded and said in agreement.
As he spoke, the white rat spirit tightened his clothes, looking very cold.
The appearance of the white rat spirit made Jiang Liu's eyebrows raise slightly.
Good guy, do you even feel a little chill in the white rat spirit? The low temperature is really surprising.
After the white dragon horse walked forward for a while, he couldn't help but pause in his footsteps. Snowflakes are flying, ice and snow cover the sky, and what is imprinted into the eyes of the river is such a scene.
As far as the eye can see, it has completely turned into a world of ice and snow, and white has become the main tone.
Not far away, you can see a small mountain village, the whole village is covered with ice and snow, even the trees are all wrapped in ice, it looks like a giant ice sculpture tree.
"Sure enough, it's just covered in snow, but it's completely turned into a world like an ice sculpture, and the temperature is ridiculously low!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Liu's heart murmured secretly.
"Apprentices, let's go, go over and have a look......"
Remember that in the original Journey to the West, it doesn't seem to be so difficult? Is it because of his own appearance, the butterfly effect caused by his own appearance? Jiang Liu thought about it, and immediately greeted Sun Wukong and a few of them and said.
As he spoke, the westward journey led by Jiang Liu all walked towards the village in front.
If there is a village, it would be good, and if there are still people living in that village, you should be able to find out what is going on in the area.
Of course, it would be better if someone asked for help to solve the trouble here, wouldn't that be a task?
After walking for a while, Jiang Liu and the others entered the village. Sure enough, the whole village seemed to be completely sealed by ice, in addition to these houses, wells, and trees, Jiang Liu and the others even saw cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and humans, all of them were also sealed by ice, lifelike.
"Master, it seems that the freezing situation here has spread in an instant, so these people and the cattle and sheep have no time to escape!"
Seeing that the village was frozen as if the pause button had been pressed, Sun Wukong opened his mouth and said to Jiang Liu.
"Yes, that's true!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement with what he saw in front of him, if it hadn't spread in a very short period of time, this place would probably not have become like this.
Jiang Liu and his party walked around the frozen village, everything was frozen, naturally, Jiang Liu didn't want to find a few people to talk to.
It's just that when Jiang Liu looked at these frozen humans, he found that the blood bars on their heads were not completely emptied, and most of them still had blood bars on their heads.
It's just that the amount of blood in the blood bar seems to be more or less.
Some people have only about 20% of the blood bar on their heads, which looks very dangerous, but some people have more than 80% of the blood bars on their heads, which still looks very healthy.
"Remember, if the ice freezes fast enough, people don't necessarily die, but the organs and other bodily functions are suspended?"
Looking at this frozen village, Jiang Liu's mind remembered that in his previous life, many terminally ill people chose to freeze themselves, hoping that one day if the medical treatment was sufficiently developed, they would be unsealed and cured.
Looking at this frozen village, none of the people in it died, Jiang Liu felt that it should have been frozen for a moment, making them all fall into a state of suspension of their bodily functions.
"Master, these people don't look like they're dead, do you want to unseal them?" Sun Wukong's eyes were full of golden light, and after looking at these people who were frozen up, he asked Jiang Liu.
"Wukong, don't be in a hurry, don't act rashly until the problem is clarified!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu shook his head and said.
While speaking, Jiang Liu thought for a moment, and then said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, you bring the land prince here and ask what kind of situation is here!"
"Okay, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong nodded and replied.
Immediately, his feet stepped heavily on the ground, and at the same time, his mouth also shouted: "Where is the land?"
With Sun Wukong's movements, the land cracked, and in an instant, a white-haired old man rose up with his body bent up, and saluted Jiang Liu and the others in turn!
"Hello ...... the land lord" Jiang Liu was still humble and polite, and replied.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and asked: "The land lord, the poor monk has a question, what is the matter with this Zhuangzi, why is it completely frozen by you?"
"Holy monk, it's hard to talk about this matter!"
Listening to Jiang Liu's inquiry, the land lord shook his head and said: "Just about a year ago, a block of ice suddenly fell from the sky, and in an instant, everything within a radius of ten miles of this village was frozen in ice, and even within the surrounding area of nearly a hundred miles, the temperature dropped suddenly, which was much colder than the cold winter Layue!"
"Ice falling from the sky!?" Hearing the words of this land lord, Jiang Liu's expression was slightly stunned.
After exchanging glances with Sun Wukong and the others, Jiang Liu immediately asked, "Land Gong, do you know what the ice fell that day?"
"Body, please forgive me for my low cultivation, I can't even get close to that ice cube!" Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, the land lord lowered his head and said with an apologetic look.
Listening to the words of this land lord, Jiang Liu thought that the white rat spirit would feel cold with the cultivation of Taiyi True Immortal, so the land lord couldn't get close to the cold ice cube, and it seemed that it could be justified?
"Where is the ice that fell that day?" Jiang Liu asked, after thinking about it.
"I know this, it is in a lake about a hundred feet west of the village, and of course, the lake has condensed into a frozen lake!" replied to Jiang Liu's inquiry.
"Okay, we already know this, the land lord, you can go back!" nodded, and then Jiang Liu waved his hand and said.
"Holy monk, great sage, farewell!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the land said goodbye fairly, and then burrowed into the land, and soon disappeared.
And what about Jiang Liu? Naturally, he took Sun Wukong and walked towards the ice lake outside the village.
