07 Farewell
It is said that the ink tower where the Mo family of Tianshan is located is divided into ten layers from bottom to top, which are "festival use", "festival funeral", "non-music", "non-life", "Ming ghost", "Tianzhi", "Shangxian", "Shangtong", "non-attack" and "love". Among them, the sixth layer of "Tianzhi" is where the winch mechanism that enters and exits this ink tower is located.
The four of them walked up the stone stairs, and the corpses of the Mo family disciples could be seen along the way, which were obviously killed by the Shenhuo Sect when they attacked the Mo Tower, and there were also Wu'er sergeants and masters of the Shenhuo Sect guarding them, and they didn't pay attention to the four of them when they saw them, most of them had already received orders from Yan Sidao. Later, everyone in the Mo family also followed, and when they saw the corpse of the same disciple who died tragically, the disciples saw that the giant was silent, so they had to hold back their anger and restrain the corpse of their fellow disciples.
The four of them went all the way to the stone chamber where the sixth floor of "Tianzhi" was located, the layout was a little different from the lower floors, although the size of the stone chamber was similar, but the stone staircase connecting the upper and lower floors was built in the stone chamber; around the stone chamber, there were four straight passages from east, west, north and south. At this time, there was already a team of Wu'er sergeants stationed in the stone room, but the leader was a middle-aged woman with gray hair, and when she saw the four of them coming up, she said respectfully: "The concubine has no rest, and I am here to welcome the four of them on the order of Mr. Jin." ”
Xie Yixiang saw that this woman's two eyebrows were thick and thin, wrapped in two eyes the size of mung beans, and her appearance was very ugly, but she didn't expect it to be the "no talent and no virtue" in the "one phoenix, two tigers, three talents and four fish" under Jiang Wangcai in Dongting Lake in the past.
But the head of the head of the son ignored it, and did not even glance at this Zeng Wuxi out of the corner of his eye, and walked towards the western passage. Zeng Wuxi felt a little embarrassed, and then hugged his fist to Ning Cui and smiled: "Miss Ning, don't come to be harmed? ”
Ning Cui snorted coldly, also ignored her, and Xie Yixiang helped Zhao Xiaoling up, and also walked towards the west passage. After walking for a stick of incense, I felt the cold wind blowing in front of me, blowing the whole passage whirring, Xie Yixiang has been in this ink tower for a long time, and now I finally feel the fresh breath of the north vein of the Tianshan Mountains outside the ink tower, although it is chilling to the bone, I can't help but feel refreshed. The four of them came all the way to the end of the passage, only to see four nooses shaped like millstones on each side, and several round wooden baskets the size of bathtubs connected by arm-thick hemp ropes, presumably for people to enter and exit the ink tower. Looking out at the exit, the entire passage has an exit in the rock face of the mountain, which is called "Sulitan Peak" by the locals, which is why there is such a strong wind, and the exit is almost vertical, which is now covered with snow and ice in the cold winter.
At this time, it was the morning of the rising sun, and as far as the eye could see, the mild sunlight sprinkled down, covering the entire northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains covered with ice and snow with a layer of golden halo, which was a rare good weather in winter. Looking at the lower left side of the exit of the passage, there is clearly a huge piece of ice, about four or five zhang wide, which condenses from the foot of the mountain to the west of the Ink Tower to the bottom of this exit halfway up the mountainside, forming a huge slope as a whole, extending to the west to the frozen "Lake Haribai", the shape is extremely shocking. Xie Yixiang had heard from the disciples of the Mo family before, saying that the Wu'er sergeant under the ink tower had dug open the ice lake, and used a machine car similar to a "water dragon" to spray the lake water on the ink tower, and condensed an ice path to the ink tower overnight, and he already felt incredible. Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I was even more stunned by the grandeur of its scale, and I was more and more shocked by the ability to speak and think, and I couldn't help but say: "If this person doesn't die, it will eventually be a big disaster in the world!"
It was only before he was mixed in with the Vultures who came with him, and he also climbed the tower from this ice road, knowing that this ice road was actually a few feet away from this exit to the west of the ink tower, and he had to climb a few steps on the mountain wall. Seeing Xie Yixiang and Ning Cui both supporting Zhao Xiaoling and walking slowly, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "One hour is a lot less, and more is not much." If you still want to live, you'd better hurry. Ning Cui was slightly stunned, and blurted out, "How come there is only one hour left?" As soon as the words came out, she immediately realized that it would naturally take a lot of time to descend to the "Haribai Lake" west of Meta along the huge ice road in front of her. Roughly calculated, when the four of them set foot on the ground below the Ink Tower one after another, wouldn't it be true that there was only about an hour left to escape?
Xie Yixiang had seen this son twice on the shore of Poyang Lake and in Bifu in Shudi, and knew that this little Taoist priest had a strange temper and crazy behavior, and seemed to be extremely difficult to get along with, but in the end he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and he was even a little afraid of life, so he was not as jealous of him as others. Hearing this, she smiled instead: "Little Daoist, you are a man after all, is it a little inappropriate to watch our two girls work so hard? Since you have decided to go with us, why don't you support this Gongsun Sect Master?"
As soon as these words came out, Deyizi was speechless on the spot, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but said coldly: "I have said many times, I am not a Taoist priest. With that, he ignored Xie Yixiang and Ning Cui anymore, bowed down and climbed along the mountain wall below the exit towards the ice path. At this time, the people of the Mo family and the Shenhuo Sect, together with Yan Sidao, also went up to the sixth layer of "Heavenly Will", and came along this passage to the west one after another, and just saw that Yizi was struggling to climb down, and the Venerable Minghuo couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What Taoist double pupils, the heir of the Ghost Valley, it turns out that he is a waste who can only talk well, but has no power to restrain the chicken!"
Yan Sidao beside him immediately glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Waste is true, but the Shenhuo Sect and the Mo family are both well-known sects in the rivers and lakes, and all the disciples are first-class masters in the world, but if you want to obey such a waste, isn't it even better than waste?" The Open Fire Venerable was stunned for a moment, and then snorted fiercely, and said no more.
Ning Cui saw Yizi's demeanor, obviously he didn't know martial arts, and he was also disdainful, I don't know what he can do to help himself and Zhao Xiaoling escape the pursuit of the Mo family and the Shenhuo Sect. At that moment, she stabilized Zhao Xiaoling's body, beckoned Xie Yixiang to exert force together, and the two girls immediately jumped out of the ink tower with light skills, crossed an arc from mid-air, and landed steadily on the ice path below the exit with Zhao Xiaoling, which immediately attracted the low cheers of the Divine Fire Sect and the Mo family.
You must know that this ice road is condensed by the "Haribai Lake", and walking on it is naturally very slippery, but now fortunately the rough steps have been carved out of it by the Vultures sergeant, so that it can barely be walked. Not long after the four of them stepped on the ice road, they heard the voice of Yan Sidao coming from the exit of the sixth floor of the Mo Tower, and said triumphantly: "There is still more than an hour before noon, so it is better to limit it to noon; And before noon, we will never break our promise, and the Divine Fire Sect and the Mo family will also supervise each other, and no one will set off in advance, let alone follow the four. So I hope the four of you have a safe journey, and everyone will see you again. ”
