41 Ascend the Tower

At this time, the entire frozen "Lake Haribai" was long deserted, and the fearful sergeants brought by Yan Sidao were no longer visible. The ice road to the west of the Mo Pagoda was the same as in the daytime, it was not destroyed by the Mo family disciples, and it still led to the entrance of the sixth layer of the Mo Tower's "Tianzhi", but there was not a single Mo family disciple stationed in the meantime. The white moonlight spreads down, whether it is the frozen "Haribai Lake" or the hundred-foot high and low ink tower, all reveal an eerie dead silence.

Xie Yixiang was so cold that her teeth trembled, and the soaked clothes on her body began to freeze in a blink of an eye, and she relied on her internal strength to protect her heart with the internal force of "autumn water and long days", so that she could barely maintain her body temperature. Looking at the son who was pulled up by her, he was frozen and stiff from head to toe, except for a faint pulse, which was almost no different from a dead corpse.

Fortunately, when the fearful sergeants brought by Yan Sidao left, perhaps because they were in too haste, they left seven or eight tents on the frozen lake that they had not had time to clean up. Xie Yixiang dragged Deyizi to a camp tent, collected the daily items left by the sergeants, and finally built a few braziers. She used the brazier to bake in it, and she also used the heat emitted by the brazier to latch on the side. However, after a meal, most of her originally soaked and frozen clothes had been dried, and her body temperature had returned to normal, which could be regarded as a complete victory through this catastrophe.

After Xie Yixiang escaped, he immediately helped up Deyizi in the brazier, asked him to sit cross-legged, and pressed his palms against Deyizi's vest from behind, slowly sending internal force into his body, helping him activate the blood veins all over his body. Although Xie Yixiang's internal strength is not very deep, but with the help of the heat of the braziers next to her, after about half an hour, Deyizi's stiff body finally stretched out, and her already pale pretty face also flashed a faint flush. Then I heard his "wow" and opened his mouth to vomit a large mouthful of lake water.

Seeing that this little Taoist priest was finally rescued by himself, Xie Yixiang completely relieved his breath and hurriedly asked him to continue baking in the brazier. After half a ring, De Yizi gradually came back to his senses, and when he saw Xie Yixiang beside him, his face immediately darkened, and he scolded in the first sentence: "You...... You idiot, you almost killed me!" Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "When did I hurt you? ”

I coughed a few times, choked out a lot of lake water, and said in a weak voice: "If it weren't for ...... If it weren't for your argument with me at the bottom of the river, and your refusal to dive into the undercurrent, I would ...... How could I have been in the water for so long? and...... I wrote clearly in your hand at the time, telling you that after crossing the undercurrent at the bottom of the river, you only need to find the fish to find the ice cave that Sergeant Vultures had carnated...... Such a simple thing, even if you are a fool, as long as you know a little about water, you can do it, how can it take you so long? Hmph, if it weren't for my hard life, I'm afraid of ...... I'm afraid I'm going to drown in the water on the spot!"

To say that Xie Yixiang is also a person with a lot of temper, but deep in her heart, she regards this little Taoist priest with two eyes as a child with a strange personality, so in the face of a son who has spoken ill of her son several times, she is not very angry, and she does not take it to heart. At that moment, Xie Yixiang followed his words and said: "Your plan is indeed flawless, but you should also inform me in advance." You must know that there are only a few smart people like you in the world today, and if you don't tell us in advance, where will others guess it? Besides, when I was in the water, I was also nine deaths, and it was not easy to guess your arrangement before I died, and to realize the mystery of 'searching for fish', so that you and I could escape with our lives. ”

Hearing Xie Yixiang's words, De Yizi's expression eased slightly, coughed a few more times, and whispered to himself: "It's also to blame me for underestimating the old guy Jishui Venerable, who is obviously a lot older, and actually came about a stick of incense earlier than I expected, so I had to enter the water in advance." Otherwise...... Otherwise, when we have traveled another mile or two, we will break the ice and enter the water directly above the undercurrent at the bottom of the river, and we will not be in the water for so long. ”

Hearing him talk about the Venerable Jishui, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but ask, "It's strange that this Venerable Jishui didn't look for his own sect master, and actually came to chase and kill the two of us. Could it be that you have another clever plan in private to let Ning Cui and Zhao Xiaoling escape from the hands of Venerable Jishui, so he is here to vent his anger on us?" As soon as the words fell, De Yizi seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "What time is it?"

Xie Yixiang had no choice but to open the tent, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and muttered: "Venerable Jishui caught up with us around the middle of the day, and then we escaped from the water and returned to the 'Haribai Lake' from the undercurrent at the bottom of the river, to say nothing it took a moment or two. And counting the more than half an hour we have spent resting in the tent, the hour should be almost over, and the time will soon begin. De Yizi's face changed suddenly, and he stood up with difficulty, Xie Yixiang was afraid that he would hit the brazier next to him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and De Yizi said in a deep voice: "While this gamble is not over, you hurry up...... Help me up to the Ink Tower!"

Xie Yixiang saw that his body had not recovered yet, and wanted to tell him to rest for a while, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to put out the brazier and help him out of the tent. The two of them walked all the way through the frozen "Lake Haribai", and then followed the ice path built by Yansidao last night to climb the ink tower, and headed for the entrance of the sixth layer of "Tianzhi". Along the way, Deyizi couldn't stand Xie Yixiang's pestering, so he told all his methods of deceiving Jishui and Minghuo Venerables, and Xie Yixiang was speechless when he heard it, and he couldn't believe that the scheming Jishui Venerable would be smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and actually took the initiative to jump into Deyizi's trap and let go of Ning Cui and Zhao Xiaoling under his nose.

In the end, De Yizi concluded: "Because of a thought, Venerable Jishui failed to chase into the southern wilderness in time to capture Gongsun Mo Ming, but instead chased us all the way to the 'Zeyi Naibai River', so whether he turned back, or the Venerable Minghuo who was led away by me with fireworks, heard the news and rushed away, as long as Gongsun Mo Ming and that girl were not too stupid, they must have already escaped without a trace." What's more, it is almost time now, and today's eight-hour gamble has completely ended, and Gongsun Mo Ming's acupoint will also be unraveled by itself. Even if the two Venerables of Jishui and Minghuo can catch up with the two of them in the sky, there is nothing they can do with Gongsun Mo Ming, so for that guy, it is undoubtedly a complete defeat, completely defeated in my hands!"

Xie Yixiang didn't have a good impression of that Zhao Xiaoling, and she hated Ning Cui even more, but when she heard this conclusion, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In any case, Zhao Xiaoling, the "Little Dragon King" of the former Xiangjun, did not fall into the hands of Yan Sidao after all, otherwise with the means of Yan Sidao, I really don't know what else would use Zhao Xiaoling's identity to do anything hurtful.

Later, Xie Yixiang asked Venerable Jishui why he didn't enter the water at that time, thus driving the two of them away. De Yizi smiled disdainfully and explained with difficulty: "When Venerable Jishui caught up with us, he already found out that he had been deceived, and the best choice was undoubtedly to turn around and leave, and rush back to the southern wilderness to capture Gongsun Mo Ming. However, under his anger, he refused to let go of the two of us, and he wanted to break us into pieces, and his mood was extremely conflicted. After that, we jumped into the ice river, although the water nature of this old thing is not weak, but in such a cold winter into the water, it is inevitable that we need to take a little rest afterwards, and this delay, isn't it a mistake for him to find the sect master? Besides, Jishui Venerable is not familiar with the "Zeyi Nabai River", even if he enters the water to chase and kill, I am afraid that he will not be completely sure that he will kill us, but it will delay him for more time, so of course this old thing does not dare to rush into the water. ”

After that, he sneered again and added, "In the same way, my arrangement is also tailor-made for this Venerable Jishui, and it won't work if it were someone else. It's like if the one who comes to chase and dare is the Venerable of the Open Fire, according to his temperament, as long as the murderous intent is together, let alone enter the water to chase and kill, even if it is chased to the ends of the earth, the two of us must be killed first. ”

Just as the two were talking, Xie Yixiang had already walked most of the ice road with his support, and he was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the sixth layer of the "Tianzhi" of the Mo Tower, but he still didn't see the Mo family's disciples. And the secret door at the entrance, which was originally closed, was also wide open as in the daytime. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but say in her heart: "The Mo family's 'conformism' is famous all over the world, this Mo Pagoda is the foundation of the Mo family, how can it be defenseless now? Could it be that Yan Sidao and the masters of the Divine Fire Sect suddenly attacked, and have already exterminated the entire Tianshan Mo family?"
