Chapter 223: Song of the North Wind (2)

"Oh, don't push, Ye Langzhong, you grab the filial piety hat!" Mu Yuan screamed, holding a big stone sprinkled with snowflakes beside him, and turned around and shouted at Chu Xun behind him dissatisfied.

Chu Xunyu made a silent gesture and whispered: "Be quiet, don't alarm that big guy, Brother Wen Tao, have you arrived?" ”

"Arrived, right here!" A Wentao pointed ahead with his hand, everyone walked out of the ice and snow path under their feet, and suddenly opened up in front of them, only to see a cold air, faintly saw that there was a big lake, the lake was quiet and blue, surrounded by sixteen peaks, in this dark night, like a piece of natural jasper, and just like a boudoir shy girl, hidden in the embroidery building, wanting to welcome the shy little daughter, beautiful, beautiful indescribable.

Mu Yuan ignored the cold, took a deep breath, and said with a sigh: "Beauty, beauty, really beauty." ”

Chu Xunyu closed his eyes on the side, inspected them very carefully, and after a while, he opened his eyes in disappointment and said to Wangchen beside him: "Senior, my divine sense has not sensed any breath of life in this lake, is it because I have not cultivated enough?" ”

Wangchen smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's still the same when I come, that demon beast is taller than me, even if there is an injury, it is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and I can't find it." ”

"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. Chu Xunyu tightened his long sword and walked straight to the lake, "Let's go down directly to see the situation." ”

"It's long overdue. "Moon watching Xiaosheng held a folding fan in his hand and followed.

Several people came to the lake, looking at the calm lake, Chu Xunyu turned his head to Shang Qian and Mei Wan and said, "You two stay here, let's just go down, you find a hidden place on the top to keep track of the wind, and contact us immediately if there is any change." ”

Among this group of people, only Shang Qian and Mei Wan's cultivation were the lowest, and the cultivation of the Jindan period couldn't help much, so they had to stay on it. But seeing Chu Xunyu, several of them showed their magical powers, performed various water avoidance techniques, and entered the water silently.

The underwater world is quiet and tranquil, always so calm, there is no clue to be seen, so several people decided to go deeper. After diving, there are dozens of zhang, and the moonlight at night basically can't shine here, and the vision is even darker, but fortunately, the cultivator's eyes ignore the black and white day and night, and they are clearly visible, and several people are going downstream, and suddenly Mu Yuan looked around, and said in surprise: "Hey, wait, do you feel anything?"

"What do you feel?" Chu Xunyu asked back.

"I feel, I feel the cold. Mu Yuan stopped in the water and looked left and right to look at his body.

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, the body of the cultivator was already not afraid of the cold and warmth of the four seasons, how could there be such a feeling? At that moment, everyone lowered their heads and checked themselves, and sure enough, they all felt slightly, there was a trace of cold like bones, this time it was really unexpected, Guanyue Xiaosheng frowned and said: "This water is so strange. ”

"Don't delay, we're going to keep you out of the cold. Chu Xunyu looked down, "Let's just go down and come out immediately after checking the situation." ”

"Okay, speed it up. Everyone hurriedly used their own skills to keep out the cold and dived down.

The underwater world became darker and darker, and soon the bottom of the lake was reached, but unfortunately there were only countless reefs and sand and mud, as well as intermittent mountains. Mu Yuan looked at it for a long time, then simply leaned against the broken wall behind him, and shouted loudly underwater: "Hey-is there any gasping?"

The sound of the underwater could not be far away, in the dark, everyone glanced at Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan lazily waved his hand, but he was not careful, and rubbed out a yellow-white shape on the stone wall behind him, Mu Yuan was stunned, and then went up to take a look, I don't know why, so I wiped it with my hand again, and the mud that was wiped out was mostly carried away with the water, and it turned out that the yellow-white traces were getting bigger and bigger, and he hurriedly shouted in surprise: "Hey, come and see, I have found something here." ”

A few people not far away heard it, and hurriedly swam over and looked in the direction of Mu Yuan's finger, Mu Yuan was very curious to speed up the speed with his hand, and after a while, he rubbed out a yellow-white stone wall that was human high.

"What is this?" Mu Yuan tapped with his hand with a grin, "Is it jade? or what?"

"Is this a specialty of yours?" Guanyue Xiaosheng turned around and asked A Wentao, who also returned an expression of ignorance.

Chu Xunyu's heart was a little fluctuating, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and suddenly his nose was different, as if he smelled a strange smell, and a trace of electric light flashed in his heart, and he shouted in surprise: "It's not good, go away, you'll die!" After speaking, he pulled everyone around and ran.

Although I don't know what happened, Chu Xunyu has always been calm and resolute, and he will never be untargeted, saying this kind of thing, everyone can't care so much, his whole body is violent, and he rises to the surface of the lake with all his might, just a few breaths, and he is halfway there, and he can faintly see the lake. Suddenly, the moon watcher was stunned, and hurriedly stopped everyone, and said strangely: "Wait, it seems that nothing happened in the back!"

"Huh?" everyone stopped, turned around and looked down for a long time, there was really nothing, only the mud brought up by their own people along the way, muddy, and there was no danger anymore.

Mu Yuan turned around and asked Chu Xunyu: "What did you kid see?" ”

Chu Xunyu looked down nervously, for fear of missing a detail, and whispered: "That's the giant salamander! The yellow-white stone wall you rubbed out is its teeth!"

"What?" Mu Yuanwei shouted, "Oh Mom, run." After saying that, he turned around and ran up.

"Come back!" Chu Xunyu grabbed him, pulled him back to his original position, and said calmly, "It's indeed like what Brother Guanyue said, there seems to be no movement." ”

"So what do we do now?" asked Awentao nervously.

"Let's go down and see. Chu Xunyu nervously held the long sword, swam down first, and everyone behind him hurriedly followed.

After a short time, everyone returned to the same place, after careful investigation and identification, sure enough, this so-called large mountain wall turned out to be the giant salamander, but it was just a corpse, covered with silt, because the size was too big, it was impossible to see it at all in the near distance, and the reason why Chu Xunyu saw that it was a tooth was because he used to be in the Yaowang Mansion, and he often dealt with corpses, so he was naturally no stranger to teeth, and that smell was the rotting corpse smell of the corpse, but Chu Xunyu regarded it as the rotten taste of the food in the mouth of the giant salamander, the giant salamander was cold by nature, and its death caused a cold air, which was aura, so the cultivator can perceive it clearly.

"What a big guy!" Mu Yuan was standing on its head at the moment, stomped on it, and sighed, "Lingzong must have made a big mess, this thing is dead." ”

"Can you see the cause of its death?" Wangchen turned around and asked Chu Xunyu.

Chu Xunyu nodded: "I just turned around left and right, I'm pretty sure that I was poisoned." ”

"Poisoned !!" everyone was shocked, you must know that poison is pervasive, if this giant salamander is poisoned to death, then we ourselves are in the water, once the toxin spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.

Chu Xunyu saw everyone's faces change, and hurriedly comforted everyone: "Don't panic, this is not an ordinary poison, it is a kind of infiltrating insect toxin, according to my experience, this poison will penetrate into the body of the giant salamander, poison it silently, and then lose its effectiveness, solidify and form, attach to the body, generally used for assassination, the advantage is that it can not proliferate, will not startle the snake, this type of poison, in the assassination behind enemy lines during the war between the two dynasties, spread widely." ”

"Can you tell what kind of poison it is? Moon Watching Xiaosheng asked.

"Not yet!" Chu Xunyu shook his head, "I just looked at it, and the demon pill of the giant salamander was shattered, which shows that the method of preparing this poison is quite amazing, and the medical level of the initiator is definitely not under our Medicine King's Mansion." ”

"Oh, and there are medical masters who can compete with you?" Mu Yuan looked at Chu Xunyu in disbelief.

"Absolutely!" Chu Xunyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although our Medicine King Mansion has superb medical skills, there are countless capable people in the world, and it is normal to have the best among them." ”

"Okay, we're not talking about this time now, let's think about the next step. Wangchen interrupted the long sigh of the two juniors.

"Let's go up first. A few people immediately resurfaced, but after a while, they broke through the water and returned to the shore, Shang Qian and Mei Wan greeted them, asked how the situation was, and everyone briefly explained what had just happened.

"There's no way, let's go directly to Guanri Peak to get a token and worship the door. "Everyone has no idea, a series of changes, obviously make everyone at a loss, the only way to solve is to enter through the main entrance.

Everyone under the starry sky, riding the vast dark night, flew up to the top of the mountain of Guanri Peak in one fell swoop, Chu Xunyu took out the token, held it high above his head, waited for a long time, there was no reaction at all, it was really embarrassing, Guanyue Xiaosheng said: "Don't bother with that, there is an accident inside the Spirit Sect, otherwise someone will definitely come to pick it up, now this thing is equal to a piece of scrap iron, let's find another way to get in." ”

"It's a bit difficult, but then again, the excerpt from the excerpt that Pinyi gave me mentions a patch of purple, and the feeling that it is suddenly out of nowhere, which is not like an ordinary gate, but like a secret passage mechanism. Chu Xunyu recalled the message left by the third brother to him, and the strong man in the land of the two poles also said the same, indicating that this was not groundless, but in front of so many people, Chu Xunyu didn't want to mention the person in the land of the two poles, so as not to cause trouble.

"Purple, where did the purple come from?" Mu Yuan looked back, "It's only black and white here, oh yes, and the blue of the lake, what else?"

"Maybe the time won't come. Wangchen lowered his head and thought for a moment, "That prefect saw all this at dawn, maybe it will have to wait until dawn." ”

"What. Mu Yuan said helplessly, "I haven't heard of when the secret passage is related to sunrise and sunset." ”

"Maybe. Chu Xunyu also nodded in agreement, "After all, it is the gate of a famous family, maybe it is so different." ”

"Oh well. Mu Yuan sat on the stone, "Let's wait for the sunrise." ”
