Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 121: The Temple of the Snow God
"You mean the Stygian Pill?"
Seeing that Zhong Zhuo doubted himself, He Yi hurriedly shook his head and denied it: "How is this possible?" senior, it's not that he is shirking responsibility, but the one in the Immortal Pill...... I know the nature of that demon. If you really escape, this radius of a hundred miles will immediately turn into scorched earth, how can anyone be allowed to live? Just imagine, a person like you who is proficient in the art of exorcism can't help him, then who else in this Huyang City can stop it? Why sneak up on the crowd?" He Yi explained.
In the battle with the black-robed Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Pill took advantage of He Yi's injury and weakness to condense the terrifying qi into a cocoon, trapping He Yi in it, in a vain attempt to occupy He Yi's body again.
But in the end, He Yi broke through the cocoon and escaped.
For a period of time after that, although the evil ghosts in the Immortal Pill had not moved, He Yi could still feel his presence.
He Yi can't say exactly what it feels like, but it's real.
In addition, He Yi knew the character of the evil ghost in the Underworld, even if he really escaped, it would never be possible to sneak up on the body of an ordinary person like an ordinary sneaky.
Listening to He Yi's affirmation, Zhong Zhuo fell into deep thought for a while.
It is true that with the strength of the evil ghost within the Immortal Pill, there is really no need to borrow the bodies of some ordinary people to do evil.
"But that ghost aura did appear in less than two hours after the black qi dissipated. Zhong Zhuo's brow furrowed more and more.
"Is it possible...... Is that evil ghost trying to use the terrifying aura to confuse the public and hide his identity?By the way, the snow temple outside Lijia Village, have you ever checked it in the past?" He Yi asked.
Before coming here, he had questioned many exiled people, and all the clues and spearheads he had found, without exception, all pointed to the sudden appearance of the Snow Temple, and the source of the problem must have been in that place.
Zhong Zhuo shook his head and said, "Although I haven't been there yet." But the place you're talking about...... It's probably the least likely thing to go wrong. ”
He Yi was puzzled: "Oh, why is that?"
Zhong Zhuo explained: "Lord Taishou doesn't know, there are only two ways to go from Huyang City to Qi Cultivation Sect. One bypasses Pingyuan County and continues to the northeast road, and the other leads to Lijia Village and takes the main road due north. The temple you are talking about is on the path of Lijia Village. Now there is not much time left before the start of the Treasure Competition, and in recent days, more than a dozen cultivators have left Huyang and rushed to the Qi Cultivation Sect. It is impossible for none of the monks to choose the second path. If any family passed by the Snow Temple, they would have already eliminated the evil spirit, and they would never have made such a fuss. ”
"Is that so?" He Yi frowned slightly.
What Zhong Zhuo said seemed to be quite reasonable, but subconsciously, He Yi still felt that this matter was related to the Snow Temple.
After all, the selfish and greedy face of the cultivator had already been deeply ingrained in He Yi's mind, and he didn't believe that those monks who passed by would really take action to get rid of the evil for the people.
After thinking about it for a while, He Yi made up his mind and said to Zhong Zhuo: "That's it." Now that the treasure competition is about to begin, the younger generations will go with you anyway, so let's choose this road and go to the snow temple to have a look. If there is nothing to do, it is enough, if there is something, it is necessary to bother the seniors to help the next hand to get rid of the evil. It is also a good deed to ensure the stability of the people, what do the predecessors think?"
"That's fine. By taking this path, you will be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Sect one step faster. Zhong Zhuo nodded and answered the matter
Get down.
Originally, they also planned to take the big road outside Lijia Village, but now that He Yi has mentioned it, they will also sell a favor.
After all, they still need the spiritual property in He Yi's hand to compete for the thing they want.
Anyway...... There will be nothing to lose.
"In this way, I thank my predecessors. He Yi thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Without further ado, He Yi suggested packing up and setting off immediately, and Zhong Zhuo did not object.
In his words, evil creatures such as sneaky ones don't usually haunt during the day, and if you set off now, you can get to the Snow Temple before nightfall.
They decided to spend the night there first, and then put a few manifest talismans, and it was natural to know whether it was sneaky or not.
Before leaving, He Yi and Zhong Zhuo asked for a batch of ghost-repelling things such as soul bells and ghost painting charms, and handed them to Pei Dong in case of emergency.
After explaining everything, He Yi got into the carriage of the Zhong family and rushed to the Snow Temple overnight.
...... ......
A few miles north of the city, through a few farmlands, is an uncultivated barren plain.
Before the harsh winter had completely passed, a strong wind rose in the endless white wilderness, blowing the curtains of the cars and making the sound of hunting.
The temperature here is already low, and it is swept by the cold wind, which makes people feel cold all over.
It seemed that the weather was not beautiful, and the sky soon became drowsy, and it seemed that there was about to be a heavy wind and snow here.
The horses under the seat couldn't help but neigh, and the speed was getting slower and slower due to the strong wind and cold air.
"This ghost weather, how can you say that it will change?" several Zhong family children shivered and complained at the same time, wrapping their clothes tightly.
Not only did they not be able to stand it, but even Zhong Zhuo, who was strong in qi and blood, felt unbearable cold, and couldn't help but take a coat from the carriage and put it on his body.
He Yi is the only exception.
Because of the reason for eating the unicorn jade fruit, He Yi was not afraid of the cold at all, and despite the wind and snow, he was still wearing a thin coat, sitting on horseback, thinking about his thoughts alone.
This scene fell in the eyes of those Zhong family members, and suddenly gave birth to an unfathomable feeling, all of them were secretly talking about this Taishou Lord, who was strong in blood and blood, which was rare in the world. No wonder even if he has the appearance of a walking corpse, he is not occupied by evil spirits......
It's getting colder and colder...... It's even a little colder than the coldest part of winter.
He Yi felt strange in his heart, logically speaking, it has now entered the early spring season, and the temperature should be warmer, but now it is becoming more and more abnormal.
"At this rate, we won't be able to catch up with the Snow God Temple before dark, so it's better to split up!" Zhong Zhuo said loudly from behind.
"What did you say?" He Yi turned around. He was thinking about his thoughts, and there was only the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and he didn't hear Zhong Zhuo's words clearly.
"I said! The horses in charge of pulling the cart are limited in their movements, and they may not be able to reach the Snow Temple before dark! Why don't you and I go first, let the convoy stay in Lijia Village first! Wait for the wind to lighten up and go again!" Zhong Zhuo's voice was a little higher.
By the time they set out, it was close to dusk, and they had walked like this for more than half an hour, and night was approaching.
And Zhong Zhuo's convoy still has a lot of spiritual products and materials that have been transported from Puyang to compete for treasures, so it can't speed up.
If you want to get to the Snow Temple before dark, you can only divide into two groups, one group will travel lightly and the other will stay to continue transporting supplies.
"Okay, then we'll go first
He Yi replied loudly.
The snow in the north is very heavy, and once it falls, it accumulates quickly, and the wheels are most likely to sink in, and when the horses can't move, it will only delay time even more.
"Second uncle, I'll go too! Lijia Village is almost here, so there is no need to leave many people. Zhong Ci walked over with two young disciples, staring at He Yi vigilantly.
He didn't have the slightest affection for this "walking corpse, ghostly and ghostly" Lord Taishou.
“......”
Facing the fierce wind and snow, the group finally came to this snow temple before the sky was completely dark.
Zhong Zhuofei dismounted, took out a few red and yellow appearance talismans, pasted one on each of the doors and windows of this temple, and pushed the door and walked in.
He Yi followed, in the middle of the temple, came into view, is a huge stone statue standing in the center, the whole body is snow-white, spotless, as if carved from ice and snow.
The stone statue was in the shape of a rickety old man, hunched over, holding a cane in his hand, with an unknown stone mask on his face, wrapped in a robe, and only on his exposed left arm, a two-headed gray snake climbed, which looked very strange.
Under the mask of the face, a pair of purple-red beaded eyes sparkled, and there was a feeling of coming to life, which made people feel intimidating.
"Let's stay here for a night, if there is nothing to do overnight, tomorrow morning after a day's journey, we will arrive at the Qi Cultivation Sect." Zhong Zhuo looked around with a vicious gaze, took out a few manifest talismans and the like from the package, and distributed them to the two Zhong family disciples beside him.
With years of experience in subduing demons and exorcism, he subconsciously felt that this place was strange.
Not only because of this strange statue of the snow god, but from the moment his hand touched the temple door, this ominous feeling already appeared.
"Be vigilant and don't let your energy up. Zhong Zhuo said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, is there anything I can do to help?" Seeing that Zhong Zhuo's face was not good, He Yi became more and more sure of what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice.
He is a layman in this matter of subduing demons and exorcising ghosts, and what the final result will be depends on the means of these Zhong families.
"Find a place to hide, and don't be scared if you sneak out. ”
He Yizheng looked at the statue, and was suddenly interrupted by a clear voice, and when he looked back, it was Zhong Ci, who was looking at him with contempt.
He Yi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to provoke the other party, he looked at the man idly
There was a heroic aura between his eyebrows, and although his eyes were clear and clear, perhaps because of the habit of exorcising ghosts all year round, no matter when, his eyes were filled with a sinister aura.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a kind of hostility that rejects people thousands of miles away.
was supposed to be a handsome and dashing person, but in this speech and demeanor, he was really immodest, and he had a good skin, and he was all defeated by this stinky temper.
No wonder the Zhong family does not enter the world, everyone has an expression of who owes money, that is, they have entered the world, and they have to make enemies everywhere.
"You, if it's okay, go chop wood and make a fire!" I'm looking at gouging out your eyeballs!" Seeing that the other party's eyes were staring at him, Zhong Ci's handsome and white face blushed a little for no reason.
"Look at it, why are you blushing?" He Yi suddenly had a very strange feeling, couldn't help but shudder, muttered in a low voice, looked away from Zhong Ci, looked around for firewood, and prepared to make a fire.
