Chapter 35 Wolong Ice Lake Reverse Scale Mountain
At noon on the third day, the continuous light rain finally stopped. The purple and blue clans set off together, and the two boats added up to at least tens of thousands of catties, and they were naturally ten percent sure of crossing the stream.
Before leaving, Wu Bao'er handed Ah Qi a wooden box, which contained a mask made of sterling silver, which was beautifully made. This gift is very much in line with Yu Yao's wishes, and it will be much more convenient for Ah Qi to eat and drink in the future.
Looking at Qu Linglong again, Wu Bao'er stammered, her eyes dodged with a little reluctance, and said: "Miss Qu, if you need it in the future, my dragon slaying stream is full of precious herbs, and you are welcome to come at any time!"
As if he wanted to say something, his white face was red again, and he couldn't speak.
Qu Linglong was embarrassed and thanked again and again, how could Qu Linglong really not understand his hints!
Although this Wu Baoer is good-looking, her feelings for this person are limited to friends. Regarding other feelings, Qu Linglong never thought about it.
Ah Qi looked at Qu Linglong standing on the deck and looking at the life and death inn that was getting farther and farther away in a daze, and walked over and sneered, "Didn't you say that you were a veteran of the love scene? What's wrong with this now? Isn't it that I was fascinated by that handsome little scholar and wants to go back to be his wife?"
Qu Linglong didn't bother to look at Ah Qi, "People know that I am a doctor, and they have given me so many high-quality medicinal materials." I took it for nothing, and I didn't feel good in my heart, and I didn't know if it was safe for him to stay there as a scholar. ”
"Scholar?" Ah Qi sneered, "Only you stupid girl will think he is weak." Ignoring Qu Linglong's puzzled eyes, Ah Qi walked back to the cabin. This Wu Bao'er walks in style, although she is dressed as a scholar, she is extraordinary at first glance.
"Ah Qi!" Yu Yao walked to Ah Qi's room with a silver mask, but saw Ah Qi in a hurry, as if he was hiding something.
"Yu Yao, why are you here?" asked Ah Qi pretending to be calm.
"Try this mask to see how big it is. Yu Yao sat down, put the wooden box in her hand on the table, picked up the silver mask and looked at Ah Qi.
Listening to what Qin Feng said, Yu Yao has also become suspicious of Ah Qi in recent days.
On the night of the crow's disappearance, Yu Yao felt a powerful aura that she had never been aware of. She didn't want to doubt Ah Qi, but after thinking about it carefully, she also felt that this Ah Qi was really different from before.
"I'll change it myself. Ah Qi said, "Is there anything else?"
"This is a medicine that Linglong dispenses, and it has an excellent effect on scars, so I specially brought it to you. Yu Yao smiled slightly, "What, can't you let me give you medicine?" Ah Qi kept saying that she was disfigured, and now she took the medicine to remove the scar, just to see if Ah Qi would show her true face in front of her.
Ah Qi didn't expect Yu Yao to come to visit suddenly, and he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse her. Slowly sat down next to Yu Yao, took off his cloak, and when his slender and white fingers touched the veil, he hesitated, and his movements became slow.
At this moment, I heard a scream outside the cabin. Yu Yao heard Qu Linglong's voice and thought something had happened to her, so the two hurried out.
Qu Linglong shouted at the bow of the boat, "Yu Yao, Yu Yao!
As soon as the boat sailed out of the Dragon Cutting Stream, it had already reached the lower reaches of the Peach Blossom River.
From the geographical point of view, the end of the Peach Blossom River is a very vicious place. Emperor Yan didn't like this boundary very much, so he divided the area below the dragon stream in the lower reaches of the Peach Blossom River into a wilderness and didn't care about it anymore.
The shape of the mountains here is very peculiar, and each mountain stands in a triangular shape in the water. It is about seven or eight feet high, and its number is too numerous to count. There were a few trees growing on the mountain, and there was not a trace of green, and everywhere was charred and black. The sky seemed to be covered with a gray curtain, and the river became muddy, but this scene was unsettling.
"Why is this scene here? Heaven and earth seem to have been burned, like the end of the world!" Qu Linglong even felt that the air she breathed into her abdomen was muddy.
"This is the Wolong Ice Lake, and it is rumored that every mountain in the lake is the reverse scale of the Oolong Emperor. A hint of vigilance crept between Yu Yao's eyebrows, "The shape of each of the reverse scale mountains here is extremely similar, it is easy to get lost, there are many poisonous insects and poisonous weeds on the mountain, everyone should be careful." ”
The three of them chatted around the bow of the boat without a word.
It was getting late, and the lanterns were lit on the ship. The bright lights attracted a flock of black butterflies, and the boatman picked up the bamboo poles he had on hand and went to drive them away. But it angered the group of butterflies, who fluttered their wings and flew freely on the ship, and all the powder that kept falling from their wings fell on the boat.
Several boatmen standing on the deck suddenly fell to the ground stiff, unconscious. Even Yu Yao suddenly felt dizzy, unsteady on her feet, and was held by Ah Qiyi. Looking at Ah Qi again, his center of gravity is also unstable, and the whole person is shaky.
"What's wrong with all of you?" Qu Linglong wanted to help Yu Yao, at this time, Yu Yao seemed to have lost her mind, and slapped a palm on Qu Linglong's left shoulder, Qu Linglong retreated several times, hit the hatch and vomited blood, and sat on the ground unable to move.
Ah Qi wanted to stop Yu Yao, but as soon as he let go of his hand, Yu Yao stumbled and fell into the lake. Ah Qi was anxious when he saw Yu Yao fall into the lake, but his hands and feet were numb and he couldn't do anything.
Looking at Qu Linglong again, Yu Yao's palm slapped on her, and it is estimated that the injury is not light.
Ah Qi's heart was like a fire, his right hand was raised, the silver moon sword in his sleeve was unsheathed, his wrist turned, and he slipped on the palm of his left hand, and the pain of the skin could still make Ah Qi stabilize his senses, and he immediately jumped off the ice lake and swam into the water.
Qu Linglong, who witnessed everything, was shocked, didn't Ah Qi know martial arts? That swordsmanship, that decisiveness, could it be the work of a little beggar? Thinking of Ah Qi's deep affection for Yu Yao, Qu Linglong was really moved to the point of fright!
"Come on!" Qu Linglong shouted, "Help!"
Qin Feng, who was the first to arrive, immediately rushed to the side of the ship, and in a moment his whole body began to numb as if he had been poisoned, "Don't get close to the bow of the ship......" The words did not fall, but he also fainted, and the other shadow guards did not dare to act rashly when they received the order.
Purple Shadow then walked over, "What's the matter?" As soon as he spoke, he seemed to smell a fragrance, and his nose was a little itchy. His martial arts are still good, but he can withstand it for a while.
"Yu Yao fell into the lake, Ah Qi went down to save her, and she didn't come up for a long time!" Qu Linglong was anxious to cry.
"What's the matter with your injury?" Purple Shadow didn't feel the strange breath and looked closer to the side of the ship. There was no figure in sight on the dark lake, and when I wanted to ask a question, I was dizzy, my hands and feet were numb, and I fell into the lake.
"Don't go near there!" Qu Linglong felt that her words were a little late......
Zhixue and Zhiyu also hurriedly chased after them when they heard the movement, "Aqu, what's going on?" Zhixue asked.
Qu Linglong saw that Zhixue wanted to come over, so she hurriedly cried to stop it. "Don't go near there, I don't know what evil they have fallen into, one by one like dumplings, they all fell in! You quickly find a way to save people! Yu Yao, Ah Qi, and your son-in-law all fell into the lake!"
Qu Linglong couldn't stop crying, this person has been falling for a long time, and if it goes on like this, it will only be more auspicious!
Zhixue heard that the purple shadow fell into the water without saying a word, went around the bow of the boat, and plunged into the lake from the side of the boat. Hearing Zhiyu say that Childe doesn't know water, her heart suddenly jumped violently.
Zhiyu didn't dare to approach Qu Linglong, he threw a bundle of ropes on the side of the boat at Qu Linglong and dragged her over.
Today, the moon is full, the Fire Dancing Girl is in retreat, and several other water-based shadow guards have also been sent on a mission, and the rest of the boatmen seem to have been poisoned, and they have been on the deck, and they don't know if they are dead.
Zhixue took out a fluorescent stone and tied it around his waist, and as soon as the stone reached the dark lake, it immediately emitted a burst of green light! Fortunately, the water of this icy lake was still quite clear, and he could barely see the surrounding situation.
The biting cold of the lake made Zhixue almost unable to move, and she felt a huge pain all over her body due to the extreme cold, making her shiver all over. Traveling all over her body, she felt a slight heat all over her body, and her hands and feet began to return to normal, and she hurriedly swam around in the water.
After swimming for a while, Zhixue vaguely saw two people hugging each other. Looking at her figure, she looked like Yu Yao, she seemed to be unconscious, and was tightly held in her arms by Ah Qi. Ah Qi seemed to be still struggling to swim upstream, but he had lost his strength after drowning for a long time, and the two gradually sank.
Zhixue swam over with her legs, pulled Ah Qi, dragged the two to the undercurrent, and borrowed the power of the undercurrent to bring the two out of the water. At this time, the boats of the two clans had drifted several miles away with the water, and the lights on the boats were vaguely invisible, so Zhixue could only place the two on a piece of driftwood.
"How are you?" asked Oriyuki hurriedly.
"Thank you..." Ah Qi shivered coldly, and his words were almost inarticulate. He hugged the driftwood with one hand, and hugged Yu Yao tightly in his arms with the other. Looking down at Yu Yao, who was already unconscious, he buried his head in Yu Yao's neck, feeling her faint pulse, and felt relieved.
"Have you ever seen my son-in-law?" Zhixue was anxious.
Ah Qi shook his head.
Zhixue looked left and right, saw the Reverse Scale Mountain not far away, and pushed the driftwood that Ah Qi held tightly to the Reverse Scale Mountain.
"Don't give up, if you can live, there will be hope for everything!" Zhixue didn't know if this sentence was said to Ah Qi, or to herself. Suppressing the churning sadness in her heart, she took a deep breath, turned around and dived into the water again.
Or the duty of the shadow guard, she remembered the words that day when she knelt in front of the purple shadow, Huo Wu smiled and said: swear to protect the son to the death, and so on. Yes, she had to find him, it was her duty.
Zhixue desperately searched everywhere, the more fruitless she was, the more anxious she became, and the moment when his breath and hers interlaced suddenly appeared in her mind. The ship hit the rocks, and he sped to take her in his arms, but both of them fell to the bed. The tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her, the smell of his breath, and the unfinished movements of his lowered head were all vivid.
She couldn't tell whether it was a lake or tears, and her eyes couldn't see clearly.
