Chapter 190 Ascending to the Top
Qiao Yuan nodded yes, took one step, and ran in the ice and snow with Qu Yunwei one after the other.
This is already a world of ice and snow, there is no other color except white, and occasionally you can see a raised snow bag, which is a boulder hidden in the snow, and other than that, as far as the eye can see, there is no foreign object except for the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
For the sake of safety, Qiao Yuan suggested that from here on, it was better not to fly, so as not to cause some trouble, after all, no one knows if there are hidden people or monsters here, and there are often storms near the snow mountain, and flying is definitely not complete.
Qu Yunwei agreed with Qiao Yuan's opinion very much, so the two of them ran under the snowy mountain, although it was running, but almost both of them were on tiptoe and did not step too deep.
First, stepping on the snow will make a creaking sound, and secondly, the snow layer here is too thick, I am afraid that if you step on it, you can directly submerge Qiao Yuan's waist and abdomen.
The speed of the two was extremely fast, and it took no more than a cup of tea to reach the foot of the snow-capped mountain by crossing a distance of thousands of feet, because they avoided some storm areas and spared some distance.
During this period, the two of them did not find a single living creature here, except for snow or snow, but it is also thought that in this kind of cold place, few life can survive in such a harsh environment.
"No, it's an avalanche. ”
The two of them had just approached the foot of the snowy mountain, and before they stopped to rest, they heard a loud rumbling sound from above the snowy mountain.
Qiao Yuan's face also changed greatly, and before he had time to think, the four wind cyclones behind him quickly condensed out, and followed Qu Yunwei towards the distance.
The two of them had just run dozens of feet away, and the place where they had just stayed was overwhelmed by the endless snow stream, and the rumbling sound kept echoing around, and the snow that poured down from the mountain was like a wild wave rushing into the sea, which was extremely amazing.
Qu Yunwei and Qiao Yuan stopped a hundred feet away from the snowy mountain, and the two of them stood quietly on a boulder, looking at the snow stream that was still rushing and pouring, and their faces showed palpitations.
"There are a lot of dangers on this snowy mountain, and we have to be careful all the time. ”
Qu Yunwei turned her head to look at Qiao Yuan and said softly.
Qiao Yuan nodded, and became even more cautious in his heart, although the avalanche just now could not threaten their lives, but once they were buried, I am afraid it would take a lot of time, and now they only have one day, how can they waste time on this.
After waiting for a cup of tea, after the avalanche completely stopped, Qu Yunwei and Qiao Yuan headed towards the snow-capped mountain again, this time they changed directions and went up from the other side of the snow-capped mountain.
This snow-capped mountain is hundreds of zhang high, but it occupies a small area, so it looks very steep, if you look at it from a high altitude, this snow-capped mountain is like a spike raised on the gentle earth, thin and long, sharp and sharp.
The two of them galloped all the way up the mountain, although the snow-capped mountain was steep, but it was nothing to the monks, the only thing that could stop them was the storm and the avalanche.
However, as the two of them got closer to the top of the mountain, the cold around them became more and more intense, even though the sun had risen a little at this moment, but the cold was still extremely strong.
Qiao Yuan's body has some resistance to the cold, and she can still hold on at the moment, but Qu Yunwei can't, her face is extremely pale, and her ears are purple from the cold, she patted the storage bag in front of her, took out a brocade hat and mink coat and draped it on her body, which made her slightly better.
"Miss Qu, the further you go, the more intense this cold becomes, I'm afraid we can't resist the cold there. ”
Qiao Yuan saw Qu Yunwei put on her coat, muttered for a moment, looked at her and said slowly.
Qu Yunwei looked up at the sky, only to see that the sun had just jumped out of the horizon, and then she looked at the top of the snowy mountain, and said in a trembling voice.
"Go first...... Mountainside, in ...... There waited until ...... At noon, go up again. ”
Qiao Yuan nodded, and ran wildly on this snowy mountain again with Qu Yunwei.
As the sun slowly rose, the temperature of the snow-capped mountain seemed to have increased, and the cold had decreased, but correspondingly, the frequency of avalanches had also increased, but fortunately, after half an hour, the two of them still reached the halfway point of the mountain without danger.
Halfway up the mountain, the two of them found a leeward col and dug a cave, which was also considered to have a shelter from the wind, Qiao Yuan took out some firewood from the storage bag and lit a fire, because he knew that he was going to come to the snow mountain, which he specially prepared yesterday.
Qu Yunwei glanced at Qiao Yuan in surprise, she moved two steps forward, and the whole person shrunk into her coat, feeling like she was about to fall into the fire.
"Huh...... , I usually look at you coldly, but I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the cold. ”
With nothing to do, Qiao Yuan had a whim, a smile appeared on his face, and he teased Qu Yunwei.
Qu Yunwei was stunned when she heard Qiao Yuan's words, it was the first time she had seen Qiao Yuan talk to herself like this, but she was not angry, but showed a trace of loss and said softly.
"Do I usually look cold? I've always been like this, maybe I'm used to it. ”
Qiao Yuan looked at Qu Yunwei at this moment, and felt that she was like a lonely and lost hedgehog, her cold appearance was her thorn clothes, but in fact, her heart was soft and full of warmth, which was pitiful.
"Don't you have any friends at January Peak?"
"No, I usually go out of the cave except for cultivation and cultivation. ”
Qu Yunwei heard Qiao Yuan's words, her heart trembled, she shook her head, and said slowly.
Qiao Yuan was silent, a monk's life should be like this, if you want to obtain advanced cultivation, you have to spend a lot of time in retreat and cultivation, and you have to give up some things because of cultivation, but some people give up more, some people give less, and Qu Yunwei almost gives up everything.
"Do you really like to cultivate, or what is the goal of your cultivation?"
Qiao Yuan pondered for a long time before he asked solemnly.
For these two questions, he already had the answers in his heart, so he wanted to ask Qu Yunwei to see how she would answer on the first day of January Peak.
Qu Yunwei was stunned for a moment when she heard these two questions, and then fell into silence, she slowly lowered her head, as if she was thinking carefully about these two questions.
"I can't say I like it, I can't say I don't like it, I've gotten used to it over the years. ”
Qu Yunwei shook her head and said lightly.
"It may be that I grew up in January Peak since I was a child, and even the name was taken by the master, so I know very little about the outside world and my life experience, and I don't even have much interest, I just hope that in the future, I can repay the grace of the master's nurturing and teaching, and protect the Yuehe Sect and the January Peak. ”
It was the first time Qiao Yuanshang had seen Qu Yunwei say so many words at one time, but this time he was silent again, Qu Yunwei didn't care whether she liked it or not, it was just a habit, and her goal was even more simple and ordinary, consistent with the goal of all the disciples and elders of the Yuehe Sect, to repay the teacher's kindness and protect the sect.
Qiao Yuan sighed lightly, and said secretly in his heart: "If I hadn't known Ming Ruo, I'm afraid the current goal would be the same." ”
After that, the two chatted about some other things, Qiao Yuan was keen to help Qu Yunwei open her heart, so he picked out some light and interesting things to tell her, but she didn't think that Qu Yunwei would always show an incredible expression when she heard these things, and of course sometimes she would be amused by Qiao Yuan.
Time passed between the laughter and laughter of the two, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, Qiao Yuan walked outside the cave to observe, felt that most of the cold air in the vicinity had disappeared, and immediately showed a happy face, beckoning Qu Yunwei to come out.
Qu Yunwei nodded, there was a trace of reluctance hidden in her eyes, and even in her heart she had been hoping that time could pass more slowly, so that she could chat with Qiao Yuan more, this was the first time she felt that chatting with people was a very interesting thing.
Qu Yunwei walked out of the cave, looking at the rather clear sky and the sun at the moment, and her mood naturally brightened.
"Let's go. ”
The sun shone on Qiao Yuan, reflecting his bright smile, he looked at Qu Yunwei and whispered, and then took the lead and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Qu Yunwei looked at Qiao Yuan's back as he gradually moved away, and an extremely bright smile appeared on his beautiful face, and the jade feet touched the snow and followed Qiao Yuan closely.
Along the way, Qu Yunwei changed her normal behavior and took the initiative to ask Qiao Yuan about some interesting things, which surprised Qiao Yuan, and he was also happy to tell Qu Yunwei some interesting things, so the two chatted while heading towards the top of the mountain.
This time, the speed of the two slowed down a lot, but still an hour later, they climbed to the top of the mountain, as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, there was a fierce cold wind coming, this cold wind mixed with a lot of cold air, if they have been resisting this cold wind, I am afraid that it will not be long before the two of them will be frozen into ice sculptures.
Qu Yunwei dared to come to the top of this mountain, naturally she had already prepared, without thinking, she patted the storage bag, took out a blue bead, and directly crushed it, and in an instant, a layer of blue light curtain shrouded the two of them.
This layer of blue light curtain was like a barrier to block the wind, blocking all the cold outside, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Qiao Yuan, this light curtain can only last for one hour, so we must obtain the cold qi as soon as possible and go down the mountain before this light curtain dissipates. ”
Qu Yunwei looked at Qiao Yuan with a solemn expression and said urgently.
Qiao Yuan nodded, thought about it, paused for a moment, and asked softly.
"What are you doing here in this snowy mountain, is it just to help me obtain the cold qi?"
Qu Yunwei shook her head, looked at the place where the cold wind was most intense dozens of zhang away, and said softly.
"The center of the cold wind is the hot spring, and there is a snow lotus growing in it, and that's what I want. ”
After speaking, she and Qiao Yuan walked towards the center of the cold wind, the top of the mountain is not big, only the size of a radius of dozens of zhang, the cold wind on the top of the mountain is howling, very violent, faintly into a whirlpool, and in the center of the cold wind whirlpool, that is, the center of the top of the mountain, is where the hot spring is located.
At this moment, the two of them are protected by a blue light curtain, and they don't have to worry about the cold wind at all, although it is difficult to move forward, but one step at a time, it won't take long to get to the hot spring.
However, just when the two of them were only ten feet away from the hot spring, a tall humanoid black shadow slowly walked out at the center of the cold wind, and then a sentence came with the cold wind.
"Wait for the hurry and leave, otherwise Hugh blames this seat for being ruthless. ”
