Liu Xunyin waited in the cave for a long time, only to see Tang Qiqi coming back with a hare, and there were several blood stains splashed on his clothes: "Sister, slaughter it and give it to Brother Wen to make up for it." ”

"Qiqi. Liu Xunyin hurriedly greeted him: "You haven't encountered any danger, have you?"

"Nope. Xiao Mu smiled: "We have found the ice lake, which is about an hour's journey from here." ”

"Really?" Liu Xunyin said in surprise: "There is a lake around here? ”

"I think it's the sun is fierce, and I can't open my eyes. In the middle of the night, it was pitch black, but the lake seemed brighter. Xiao Mu turned around and saw that Wen Yan was already awake and leaning against the stone wall, and asked, "How are you?"

"It's okay, thank you. Wen Shen stood up with a sword and a club: "Where is the ice lake, I'll go out and see." ”

"I'll go back early tomorrow morning. Xiao Mu lay comfortably on the grass and stretched: "It's late at night, and all kinds of wild beasts come out to feed. You're not familiar with the terrain, don't go out and take the risk. ”

"It's fine. Sleep, I keep vigil. Wen Ember was completely sleepy, and sat down by the fire with a dry branch to stir the fire, and the bonfire burned so vigorously that his face turned red.

The crowd was very tired from a long day's travel, and soon fell asleep. Ember looked at the deep night outside the cave, reached out and pressed the purple brocade silk on his chest, and fell into deep thought.

The night dew was cold, the cold hit people, Bai Wangshu tossed and turned, simply put on a dress and got up, and sat next to Wen Yan: "Young Master Wen, don't you feel cold when you wear so little?"

"It's not cold. Wen Ember shook his wrist, only to feel that his body was extremely hot, thinking that it was the effect of bathing in fire: "Why don't you sleep yet?"

"The ground is too damp to sleep in. Bai Wangshu tightened the clothes on his shoulders: "Dare to ask what school Wen Gongzi inherits?"

Wen Ember paused for a moment as he took the withered branch's hand: "Why did you suddenly think to ask this?"

"I've been practicing the art of bathing fire for almost 10 years, but I've learned one or two of them. When my father was still alive, he always hated iron and steel, and scolded me until my ears were calloused. Now it's hard to calm down, but I'm not used to it. Bai Wangshu lowered his head and smiled, and the flames reflected in his tearful eyes: "You are really fast learners, you can't compare with ordinary people, you not only have a high level of understanding, but also have an excellent foundation in martial arts." I don't know who the Venerable Master is in the world?"

Wen Ember turned his head, looking a little lonely: "It's just a ranger, it's already passed away." ”

"Is it convenient to reveal his name?" Bai Wangshu asked curiously.

Song Wuji. Ember moved her lips silently, her heart hurting as if it had been torn apart.

He still remembers that when his uncle taught him to practice martial arts as a child, he was always beaten and scolded, and he was cruel and harsh. Wake him up on time every day, and tie up the horse in the yard for half an hour. During the rainy season, the cold rain hits your face, and you have to stay motionless even if you are soaking wet, and it is a long time that is desperate.

After entering the Cloud Lonely Gate for training, he was beaten and his nose and face were swollen, and it was common for him to be scarred. Once a year, you have to kill each other with your companions who get along day and night. Only the strong can survive and become a member of the Cloud Silent Gate.

This ironclad kung fu is practiced by stepping on the lives of these people close to you. It was also in those years that he gradually understood that there must be no mercy, and as a killer, ruthlessness is rigid.

What was my uncle thinking when he died? Wen Ember closed his eyes, and the deep voice seemed to still echo in his ears: "Ah Ash, the thing I regret the most is to bring you back. ”

"Young Master Wen?" Bai Wangshu saw that his brows were frowning, his face was worried, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's fine. Wen Ember smiled indifferently.

"You haven't told me how you learned this kung fu?"

"It's just a little more suffering. He raised the firewood and said, "Go and rest." ”

Bai Wangshu looked at Wen Ember who was dressed in black, and always felt that he seemed to be carrying an unknown secret. Although taciturn, it is forbearant and powerful, and it can bring the power to calm people's hearts.

The next morning, everyone hastily ate something and set off with their bags on their backs. They followed the marks left by the previous night over the mountains and mountains, and when they reached their destination, they saw only a dry and cracked wasteland.

"Is this it?" asked Liu Xunyin hesitantly.

"How is that possible?" Tang Qiqi was taken aback: "I obviously saw ...... last night"

Bai Wangshu shook his head: "It's not surprising that anything happens here, when I was a child, I heard my father say that the vicissitudes of life in Death Valley are often only in an instant. ”

"That's good. Tang Qiqi said anxiously.

"Wait. Xiao Mu said: "Since we saw it at night yesterday, we might as well wait for a few hours." ”

As twilight fell, the snowy ridges in the distance lost the reflection of daylight and gradually dimmed. A few people lit torches and sat quietly in place, occasionally driving away mosquitoes and beasts. Not long after, I saw that the originally cracked ground was slowly wetting, and there was a steady stream of lake water gushing out. The water level rises higher and higher, and with it comes a chill to the bone. Under the moonlight, the lake is crystal clear, and elk are quietly sipping not far away.

"Sure enough, this glacial lake only appears at night. Xiao Mu smiled: "But I don't know why." ”

"Ashen, you try. Liu Xunyin said: "Let's look for a place to spend the night nearby." ”

"Call us at any time if you are in danger. Xiao Mu took out the signal flare from the baggage and handed it to him: "Save some use, there are not a few left." ”

"Good. Ember nodded.

When the group had left, he took off his coat and moved into the lake. The water was so cold that I felt like I lost some sensation with every step I took. Ember sped up to swim to the center of the lake and stepped on a smooth boulder at the bottom. Sit cross-legged on it, the water level just at chest level.

How could it be such a coincidence, could it be that there were predecessors who had cultivated here? Before he could think about it, the wound on his chest had been shaken by the ice lake. He put away distracting thoughts, calmed his mind, and silently recited the method of bathing in fire in his heart:

There is no self and no realm, only heaven and earth. Cover the fire in the body, and settle down. The light shines alone, and the thunderbolt opens......

After a while, Wen Ember only felt that his body was extremely hot, his vitality was surging, and his meridians were opened up step by step. In the reflection of the lake, there were already faint flame-like lines on his eyebrows, glowing with a dazzling red light. The water in the lake around his body was slightly tumbling and steaming.

"Don't be too hasty in your practice of bathing in fire, otherwise you will suffer from burning yourself. Wen Ember remembered Bai Xu's repeated admonitions, and reached out to seal the warm vitality swimming around in his body, calming it down and returning it to the dantian. When he swam ashore and put on his clothes, he heard Tang Qiqi's anxious shout in the distance: "Sister Xunyin, be careful!"
