Chapter 35 Chapter 36 Retreat
"Where is the sword?" Ye Chen swept away the decadence when he heard this, and stared at the old man with bright eyes.
Seeing that Ye Chen was interested, the old man smiled weakly: "Don't worry, don't let alone take it out like you are now, you can't even go up the snow mountain." The mountain snows heavily all year round, and it is cold to the bone, and it is impossible to resist the severe cold without deep internal strength. ”
"That's amazing? You can't be the snowy mountain you're talking about, right?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed to a snow-capped mountain behind the valley, only to see that there was a mist there, and he could see the mountainside and not the top of the mountain.
"That's the one, and the sword I'm talking about is hidden at the top of it. During this time, you will cultivate well, and when the time comes, I will naturally take you there. ”
"What are you cultivating! I'm already a peerless master now, okay! Let's go now. I don't believe that with my current strength, I can't climb up. Ye Chen couldn't control his emotions anymore, and pulled the old man away.
Seeing that Ye Chen was so impatient, the old man didn't stop him, he knew Ye Chen's temperament very well, and he was the kind of person who didn't die if he didn't have the heart of the Yellow River. Since you can't persuade him, you can't prevent him from tasting the bitterness first, so that you can also kill his sharpness.
Along the way, the old man took the road seriously, which made Ye Chen feel a little strange, after all, the old man used to make things difficult for him everywhere, and he had never been so kind. But under the temptation of the sword, Ye Chen didn't have the heart to guess the old man's intentions, he just wanted to take out the sword quickly.
Soon the two of them came to the foot of the mountain, Ye Chen looked up the mountain, and saw that one-third of the mountain had sunk into the clouds. And the mountain is steep, and even at the foot of this mountain there are several inches of snow.
Under the strong temptation of the sword, Ye Chen didn't care about studying how to go up. After a few jumps, he flew to a slightly gently inclined platform on the mountain.
At this time, he was sixty or seventy meters away from the ground, and the old man was still below, looking up at him.
"Don't look at it! Come up! There is snow everywhere on this mountain, and there are places where I can't get through, so you have to pull me along. Ye Chen yelled at the old man at the foot of the mountain.
The old man only smiled faintly when he heard this, and then jumped lightly and came to the inclined platform where Ye Chen was.
"Wow, it's so powerful, it came up all at once. Seeing this, Ye Chen praised.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't hurry up. The old man glanced at Ye Chen and pointed to it.
Ye Chen nodded when he heard this, looked up, and flew up in a flash after finding the next foothold. The old man had always been close behind, following him, never before him.
After flying for half an hour, the two of them finally came to the mountainside. At this time, Ye Chen was already tired, panting heavily. The true qi in the body has also been almost consumed.
Compared to True Qi, the biggest problem Ye Chen faced now was coldness. There was too much loss of true qi in his body, and this mountainside was extremely cold, and the wind was extremely bone-chilling, every gust of wind blew through Ye Chen, and he felt the wind blow into his bones, as if he wanted to freeze his bones.
Ye Chen clasped his hands and trembled, looking at it but couldn't take a step anymore. On the other hand, the old man's face was light and light, as if the bone-chilling wind had no effect on him in the slightest.
"Are you still going up?" the old man stared at Ye Chen with a smile on his face, looking gloating.
"No...... No, I feel like my body is not mine anymore, and my life will have to be here if I go up, let's go back!" Ye Chen replied tremblingly, shaking his body constantly, trying to get a little heat.
"I told you a long time ago that if you don't listen, you will die if you have to run for nothing. Isn't my word so unworthy of your trust?" said the old man angrily.
"It's worth it, I believe everything you say now, let's go down quickly! If I delay a little longer, I feel like I'm going to freeze into a stick." ”
"Hmph, you deserve it, you do it yourself. ”
The old man couldn't help but smile, and then jumped down from a large raised block of ice.
Ye Chen twisted his body and came to the place where the old man had just jumped down, and after looking down, his eyes widened in fright, and he sat down.
When he came up just now, he was too excited to notice that the mountain was so steep, almost vertical. And now the snow is blocking the view, and everywhere you look is white, and you can't find the foothold you landed when you came up just now.
"Why don't you come down quickly, do you want to freeze to death on it?" Just as Ye Chen hesitated, the old man's voice suddenly floated up from below.
Ye Chen looked left and right, but he never dared to step down: "How can you get down? There is not even a foothold, in case you can't step on it or your feet slip, there is no scum that can't fall?"
"Aren't you quite energetic when you go up? I'm telling you, if you don't come down again, I'll be gone!" the old man urged.
Hearing the old man say this, Ye Chen panicked all of a sudden, he knew that the old man would definitely do it if he threw him here. He simply closed his eyes and jumped towards the blurred figure of the old man below.
The perennial snow on the mountain caused it to be extremely slippery, and the heavy snow made Ye Chen unable to see the mountain clearly. The moment he jumped, he tilted his body so much that he deviated a lot, and jumped two or three feet away from the old man.
His feet slipped as soon as they touched the mountain, and then he slid down the mountain at great speed. The old man wanted to catch up and hold him, but he saw that he hit a large amount of snow on the way down, and the snow rolled more and more on him, so that in the end, it was wrapped into a big snowball and wrapped Ye Chen in it.
Seeing this scene, the old man dispelled the idea of saving him, Ye Chen was wrapped in a snowball and couldn't stand any injuries anyway, and this result was also caused by himself, and he couldn't complain about others.
As the snowball grew, so did the movement, which caused an avalanche before it could reach the bottom of the mountain. A large area of snow fell all at once.
Seeing such a scene, the old man was also shocked, afraid of being buried, he quickly returned to the foot of the mountain, and then avoided it far away.
When the dust settled, the old man returned to the foot of the mountain. He knew that Ye Chen would be fine, he had a true qi body protector anyway, and he wouldn't die so soon.
He didn't rush to dig out Ye Chen, in his opinion, such a result was completely self-inflicted by this kid. So he wanted to wait for Ye Chen to find a way to come out by himself, so he simply built a snowman on the side.
After a while, the old man casually built a snowman. At this time, the snow on the ground also changed.
More than ten meters away from him, the snow suddenly collapsed. Then Ye Chen slowly stretched out a hand from the collapsed place.
"Ahem, ahem...... Suffocated me. ”
Ye Chen staggered out of the snow and kept shaking off the snow on his body.
When he saw the old man leisurely building a snowman here, Ye Chen's anger suddenly rushed up.
"Okay, you old man, you can't save you when you die, right? I'm buried in the snow, and you still have the leisure to build a snowman here? I don't feel like you're your apprentice!"
"Hehehe...... Didn't I tell you that you can't go up the mountain now? If you have to come, you will have to bear the consequences of this kind of thing! Besides, you can't die after being buried in the snow for a while, so what a panic!"
"You ......" Ye Chen was speechless with anger, he knew that it was his fault this time, and he couldn't blame the old man at all.
"It's all over, haven't you all come out?Do you still want to go up again?" the old man came to Ye Chen after building the snowman, and joked with a smile.
Ye Chen snorted angrily when he heard this, shook his hand and said, "If you don't go, won't you just break the sword?" When I cultivate to the great advance, I have to break it when I go up." ”
He came to the snowman that the old man had built, and used his swordsmanship to smash the snowman to pieces at once, venting his dissatisfaction with the old man.
Seeing this, the old man did not blame him, but watched him walk away with a smile on his face.
For the next month or so, Ye Chen practiced his swordsmanship hard every day, and threatened the old man every day to accompany him to practice swords. The old man was afraid that he would be angry and break his vask. Even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to go to sparring.
Under the guidance of the old man, his swordsmanship became more and more proficient, and his internal strength was also improving rapidly. More than a month later, under the condition that the old man did not release the water, he was able to pass a hundred and ten moves with the old man without losing.
Seeing Ye Chen's rapid progress, the old man was a little worried while being happy. Ye Chen's progress so fast was not only related to his talent, but also his obsession with revenge.
Ye Chen has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, and he does not understand the sinister hearts of people. The old man was worried that he would lose his reason in order to take revenge, and that he would be used by his enemies.
Ye Chen didn't know the old man's concerns at all. He only knew that the stronger he was, the more likely he was to get revenge. And the reason why he is working so hard now is just to be able to climb the snowy mountain again and retrieve the sword that the old man said.
After staying in Jingxin Lake for two days, Ye Chen finally pulled the old man again. Travel with him to the snowy mountains.
After more than a month of training, Ye Chen had a lot of confidence to retrieve the sword. The two of them effortlessly came to the mountainside where they had been before. Here, Ye Chen no longer shivered as frozen as last time.
But when Ye Chen continued to climb up, he still felt that the temperature was gradually decreasing. After turning over the clouds, Ye Chen finally trembled. Looking at the boundless sea of clouds, Ye Chen only felt as if something was pressing on him, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
There was not a single wind above the clouds, and it was as if everything was still here, not even the snow was falling. The only thing that remains unchanged is the cold, although there is no wind and snow here, it is far colder than under the clouds, Ye Chen's face has already been frozen red, if he hadn't seen the top of the mountain, Ye Chen would have thought about going down.
