Chapter 496: Departure
Leng Shura thought about it for a long time, and finally was unwilling to compromise, and then said: "In this case, then the four of us should move first, this trip is far away and dangerous, let them explore the road first, I and Marquis Yin stayed here to wait for Empress Fengxuan, take the jade seal, and Marquis Yin will not be too late to leave." ”
Leng Shura insisted so much, Yin Zhelu didn't have a good way, so he had to let the other party go first, after all, there was no jade seal, and Yin Zhelu was not too worried.
Before leaving, Li Qing and Yu Yingbing were a little reluctant, and after thinking about it again, Yu Yingbing still decided to follow Empress Fengxuan's arrangement to stay and wait, and Li Qing used the quota on the side of Yelan Country, so she had to follow Ke Lina's side.
Ke Moro handed over the Celestial Silk Wolf Tooth in the Yelan Kingdom to Ke Lina, and after putting it away properly, he led the other three into the Forgotten Worries Ancient Road.
The Forgotten Worries Ancient Road is the only passage between the Moon Shadow Kingdom and Zhongzhou, with the boundless Burning Sky Desert in the south and the Polar Night Ice Fields frozen for thousands of miles in the north, completely separating the two countries as if they were two worlds.
It is called the ancient road, it is a passage that has been there in ancient times, it is more than a thousand miles long, but only the white rice is wide, the terrain is uneven and bumpy along the way, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel. Strange to say, on this hundred-meter-wide passage, the south side is adjacent to the Burning Sky Desert, which is extremely hot, while the north side is extremely cold, like a number of nine severe winters, under the same sun, but with a completely different climate.
Among the four, Yu Yingxue is the highest cultivator, but along the way, Yu Yingxue is mostly in silence, and since she separated from Lu Mingfei, she has unconsciously returned to her original cold appearance.
In addition, the black-robed boy was even more taciturn than Yu Yingxue, Kelina asked Yu Yingxue about her experience over the years from time to time, and Yu Yingxue would simply answer a few words, while the Three Flames Boy had hardly said anything since he entered the Forgotten Worries Ancient Road, just followed a few people all the way.
Unconsciously, Kelina has become the leader of the four, and after walking a hundred miles, Kelina looked at the vast snow-covered area in the north, and felt a little troubled in her heart.
"Since the Ruins of Luofeng are in the polar night ice field, it is not a way for us to go west all the way, so let's enter the ice field from here. ”
The other three had no opinion, so under the leadership of Kelina, they gradually deviated from the ancient path of forgetting worries and plunged diagonally towards the ice field to the north.
With the cultivation of the four people, there is no other cold and heat except for a few thicker clothes, who knows that just on the north side of the Forget Worry Ancient Road, they have already felt the cold, at this time into the ice field, the cold is getting worse and worse, the Three Flames Boy pulled the black robe tighter, Ke Lina put her hands into the sleeves, Li Qing walked in front of the jump, rubbed her hands from time to time, put a breath of hot air to warm up, only Yu Yingxue remained silent, but the red and white on a pretty face became more and more distinct.
rise
At first, most of the roads were dirt roads, sparsely stretched with some dry grass, but because of the cold, the soil under your feet was much harder than elsewhere, and you felt a little frozen when you stepped on it.
After a while, the road gradually froze, and then the ground was covered with snow.
Snow is not uncommon in the country of Yelan, but the snow here is different, under the snow is not land, but a thick layer of ice, I don't know how many years it took to form, walking on it a little carelessly will slip on the soles of the feet, because of the discomfort, just walking for an hour, the four of them have slid many times, even Yu Yingxue has obviously slowed down, stepping on the snow that is enough to reach the knees, the pace is a little staggering.
The personality of the four people is like this, no one will complain, just walk forward all the way, but Kelina feels that something is wrong, and plans to stop for a while and discuss with a few people before moving on.
As soon as he stopped, there was a sudden rustling sound on his side, from far and near.
The four of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw a snow-white behemoth coming out of the snow in the distance, and it was rushing towards this side.
"What a big bear!"
Li Qing was still sharp-eyed, and recognized at a glance that it was actually a big white bear, and it was running at a speed that was obviously beyond that of bears.
In front of the white bear, there was a white shadow shuttling up and down, and a few people who ran close to it saw that it should be a white lamb, walking through the snow, being chased by the white bear behind him, and the sight was snow-white, if you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to recognize.
Although the big white bear is big, Kelina recognized at a glance that it was not a strange beast, but an ordinary beast, so she naturally would not put it in her eyes, seeing the white bear coming, she took the first step in front of the white bear, and with a wave of her arms, she planned to shoot out a large net of Shura's strength to cover the white bear.
Who knew that her hands were waved, but she only shot out a trace of mystical qi that seemed to be nothing, and did not form the big net she imagined, Kelina was terrified in her heart, and at the same time realized that her cultivation was greatly restricted for some reason.
At this point, it was too late to react, and the blow missed, and the big white bear had already swooped in front of her.
Fortunately, Li Qing reacted in time, jumped out suddenly, and punched the big white bear.
Hearing a loud roar, Li Qing was on the side of the big white bear, and he should have used an iron fist to knock the thousands of catties away.
Seeing the big white bear rolling aside, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and no one noticed that the white lamb that had been chased by the big white bear had reached Kelina's back at this time, showing two rows of fangs without warning, jumping forward, and suddenly biting the back of Kelina's neck.
Outside Tianling Pass, Yin Zhelu and several people were still waiting anxiously, two days later
, Empress Fengxuan and Lu Mingfei finally came.
Empress Fengxuan immediately inquired about the situation, after all, she was two days late, and it was inconvenient for her to argue with Leng Shura about anything, so she had to quickly prepare a few people to set off.
Lu Mingfei's gaze swept through the crowd, and he was inevitably a little disappointed, and then fell on Yin Zhelu and Qi Xiaobai, who had not been seen for a long time, trying his best to show an indifferent appearance.
Yin Zhelu also noticed this young man who came with Empress Fengxuan, and asked respectfully, "Who is this?"
Empress Fengxuan had already made a statement, and explained to a few people: "His name is Ye Gui, he is my clan, and this time he will go to the Polar Night Ice Field with you." ”
Yin Zhelu didn't ask more, nodded immediately, and at the same time hugged Lu Mingfei's fists, called Brother Ye, and said hello.
Although his face was as usual, Yin Zhelu was somewhat puzzled, after all, he couldn't detect the slightest trace of cultivation in this young man who didn't look amazing, but he felt a trace of familiarity inexplicably.
Empress Fengxuan called him to her side and said, "You don't have any doubts, he is definitely a person you can trust, and you must ensure his safety along the way." ”
"Yes, the Queen Mother rest assured!"
Yin Zhelu responded without hesitation, not wanting Empress Fengxuan to say again: "His safety is still above the purpose of this trip, Master Hou has bothered a lot." ”
"Yes!"
Yin Zhelu also became much more solemn, and quietly glanced at the young man beside the queen, although he didn't know his specific origin, but it was certain that this person would definitely not be simple.
Empress Fengxuan took out a brocade box, took out the jade seal of the country, and subconsciously handed it over to Lu Mingfei's hands.
Queen Fengxuan's preparation is far more sufficient than that of Ke Lina and her party, Ke Lina is trying to travel lightly, and the four of them don't carry much luggage, while Lu Mingfei and the four of them are carrying a lot of bags, and Queen Fengxuan has prepared enough ferret fur jackets for the four of them.
After entering the Forgotten Worries Ancient Road, Lu Mingfei was somewhat similar to the Three Flames Boy, always walking at the end of the line, without saying a word, Yin Zhilu would come over to say hello from time to time, and by the way, ask Lu Mingfei about his origin.
In order not to show flaws, Lu Mingfei just smiled every time, but he didn't want to say anything, and Yin Zhilu also felt a little embarrassed, so he let him walk at the end and ignored it.
The four of them also traveled all the way to the west, and after walking for a while, the young phoenix in the sky suddenly appeared with its head, and flew towards the north as soon as its body turned, Yu Yingbing pointed to the direction where the young phoenix flew and said, "Look at it!"
The four of them realized at the same time, and chased the young phoenix towards the polar night ice field.
