Chapter 20: Doomed to War
The sky, covered by dark clouds drifting from thousands of miles away.
Yesterday's warm sun is no more, only the cold wind is colder, and the cold is colder. The back mountain, which was covered with snow for hundreds of miles, was blown into a ball of cotton. The ice and snow did not increase, because the hundred miles of dark clouds were still holding.
If you can't hold it back, I'm afraid it will turn this world upside down.
The atmosphere on the snow viewing platform is as dreary as the air at this time. Everyone's eyes were on the glacial lake that separated the eighty-mile bamboo forest. There were already a lot of people scattered here, all of them standing facing the middle of the glacial lake.
Where their eyes met, was a young man in his mid-teens. He was wearing a white cloth on his head, a white linen robe, and a seven-foot steel gun was inserted upside down, and the head of the spear was tied with a cold plum with white silk.
The wind and snow that melted into him couldn't cover his eyebrows, and there was a strong killing intent. He was facing the direction of the snow viewing platform and looked at the exit of the bamboo forest in that direction.
He's waiting for someone...
He knew that the person he was waiting for would inevitably come out of that bamboo forest...
The dull snow viewing platform was also waiting for the man.
As soon as that man arrived, the upside-down steel spear would inevitably see blood. And at this moment, looking from the stage, it is clear that the man will soon be walking out of the bamboo forest...
Xia Hou's hands were clenched, and his breathing and heartbeat were extremely slow.
"Forty miles away, can your sword qi shoot it?"
"Impossible"
"Then I'm leaving" Xia Hou rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go downstairs.
"Wait," Mo Xian immediately said, "Look..."
Xia Hou followed Mo Xian's gaze and looked at the bamboo forest in front of the ice lake...
There is only Xia Xun in the forest, dragging the bamboo raft slowly...
After Xia Xun and Luo Jue separated in the morning, they did not make a detour or stop and go as before, but went straight ahead. Because, he knew that he would not meet anyone on the road ahead, and the people in front of him had all gone to the ice lake in front of him and waited for him.
When he was in the Seven Star Courtyard, he had already calculated that there would be people waiting for him in the ice lake that he had to pass through when stepping on snow. Therefore, he didn't want to meet people in the snow for a few days, for fear that he would waste his energy and cause the ice lake to be unhappy.
However, in order to help Luo Jue Shoumei the night before, he still consumed a lot. So much so that he dared to continue to set off after resting for a day yesterday.
At this time, Xia Xun was less than twenty zhang away from the exit of the bamboo forest in front of him.
He stopped...
Throwing away the bamboo steak, he took out the bamboo rat that had been roasted in the morning from the package, put it to his mouth, and chewed it in a big bite.
He ate very quickly, and the two fat bamboo rats were turned into twenty mouthfuls by him and swallowed directly. He picked up the bamboo tube around his waist again and poured water into his stomach.
After you've eaten and drunk...
Next, he did something that everyone expected.
Lying on the bamboo raft, I fell asleep...
People on the ice lake can't see, so they don't know it. But the people on the snow platform were all dumbfounded. As a result, at the critical moment, the protagonist fell asleep on the spot.
Xiahou was also dumbfounded: "What is he doing?"
"You can't see?" Mo Xian continued, "sleep"
Xia Hou pointed to the ice lake blankly, looked at Mo Xian and said, "He's not afraid that little white face will kill him?"
"Can you see through the twenty-zhang bamboo forest from two hundred zhang?" Mo Xian looked at Xiahou like a fool
Xia Hou reacted, of course he could see it at the snow viewing platform. But the man was on the icy lake, and he would not be able to see it.
"He dragged the bamboo raft for a long time, just to come there to sleep...?"
"What do you think?"
"Then why don't you get enough sleep before you go over?"
Mo Xian looked at him with disdain, "If you have slept enough, you don't have to leave?"
Xiahou pondered the meaning of these words, and his head couldn't turn for a while. Mo Xian probably didn't want to rub shoulders with him, and then said: "He walked all the way for ten miles, and when he was tired, of course he just slept and rested."
Xiahou suddenly realized
"Oh... He's tired!"
Xia Xun, who was sleeping lightly, was indeed tired. No matter how powerful his divine sense is, it is only an out-of-body body. So he's going to rest...
However, the dark clouds in the sky seem to have the same thoughts as those who admire the snow. Xia Xun hadn't slept for an hour when snowflakes began to fall in the sky. The bamboo rafts he brought could block the cold on the ground, but they couldn't stop the cold falling from the sky.
So...
After a while, a thin layer of snowflakes covered his body. Xia Xun woke up coldly...
He stood up in great displeasure, slouched up, yawned, and blinked his sleepy eyes. Look at the sky.
Snowflakes, getting a little bigger.
"Hey..."
Maybe Xia Xun hasn't rested enough, but the weather doesn't allow him to sleep anymore. I could only sigh helplessly. Bend over to pat off the snow cover on the package and spread it out carefully...
At this moment!
"Dangdang..."
The sound of iron strikes...
The people at the snow terrace were all dumbfounded again! Everyone involuntarily opened their mouths in the shape of goose eggs.
It's incredible!
It's all copper coins!
A whole parcel of copper coins. There were several thousand, to say the least, all of them were strung together with a thick hemp rope and stuffed in a bag. Someone actually brought so many copper coins to step on the snow?
"Why did he bring so many copper coins to tread the snow?" "Why did he bring so many copper coins to tread the snow?" "......"
All the snowlovers asked this question almost at the same time.
But after asking for a long time, no one could answer.
Before this, except for Luo Jue, no one knew that Xia Xun had brought so many copper coins to step on the snow, and they didn't know what he brought them for.
Xia Xun carefully tied the copper coin around and around his right arm, holding the thread of the hemp rope in his hand. Then he shook his arm again, thinking that there was nothing unusual, and dragged the bamboo raft and walked in the direction of the forest...
The snow is really big, making the vision of ordinary people blurry from seven or eight feet away.
Xia Xun was the same, when he stepped into the ice lake, he could only see the vast expanse of snow white in front of him.
However, he only took one step and stopped......
At this moment, even if he couldn't see anyone, he could feel the strong killing intent.
Xia Xun stood in place, looking faintly in the direction where the killing intent came from, as if he could see through the wind and snow, and saw the steel spear that was inserted upside down one hundred and forty zhang away, and its owner.
Xia Xun definitely couldn't see the person after the snowstorm, but after the snowstorm, many people would definitely be able to see him.
The killing intent is getting stronger...
"Shhhh Hiss..."
The steel spear was slowly pulled out of the ice by his master.
Hold it in your hand and walk slowly. The direction is the exit of the forest...
There are words in his mouth...
"The name of this gun is Qianyan, which is made of thousands of stones and steel forged for 9981 days, drinking the blood of thousands of people and collecting 10,000 souls. For me to learn martial arts at the age of 10, my family teacher gave it to me, and I have been with me for more than 15 years. ”
He walked very slowly, very slowly, and with every step he took, he would say a word, not loud, but he could hear it clearly to people hundreds of feet away. It feels like you're reciting a memorial message.
"Since the age of four to learn the text, worship under the family teacher, the family teacher treats me like a parent, personally passes on the mantle of life, day and night with me, to me more than ten" endless sad breath, from the words. The gray-robed linen people on the ice lake all have wet eyes...
"I'm sorry..."Xia Xun's voice was not loud, so the exit turned into wind and snow, and it didn't spread far
"Since receiving the gift, I have traveled with my family teacher in all directions. In his twentieth year, he traveled to the Western Regions for five years, rarely returned to Beijing, and only relied on frequent correspondence...... The tutor is old, and he is sick from time to time, and I am very worried and missing...... "With his realm, he will definitely be able to hear Xia Xun's voice, but he just ignores it." He still walked slowly, and now he was still a hundred and ten feet away from the forest.
"I'm sorry," Xia Xun apologized again.
The steel gun did not stop, still reading, "Half a month ago, I suddenly heard bad news and was grief-stricken. I hurried thousands of miles, and rushed back day and night to ask to see each other...... "The distance between the two sides is a hundred feet, and everyone on the ice field can feel the determination of the killing intent.
“... It's too late... The family teacher died violently, his consciousness was scattered, and no one could save him, and he died at the age of three hundred, four ......"
Ninety feet away, the killing intent began to make the wind and snow terrifying, dancing around him.
“... During the seven-day sacrifice period, I swear to the heavens before the ranking of the family teacher, and sacrifice wine to soothe the soul with your head..."
Eighty zhang, even the wind and snow on Xia Xun's side were shocked by the killing intent and danced wildly.
"Hey..."
Xia Xun's expression was solemn, and the killing intent made him know that this battle could not be avoided, and there was only one battle. He sighed helplessly. At the same time, his right hand shook, and in an instant, he trembled five times in a row, "Tsk... "There were five wind-breaking sounds between his fingers, and there was no shadow of the five-plum copper plate.
The wind and snow in the wild dance were shot out of a few inches of space...
The next moment, the right hand of the owner of the steel spear also shook, and he randomly drew an arc in front of him.
"Ding Ding Ding..."The copper coins that flew without a shadow of Wumei were all cut in half and fell on the ice and snow.
"What's that!"
The ice lake and the snow viewing platform were all shocked.
The five-plum copper coin broke through the wind and snow, and shot out more than 70 zhang at a high speed and without reducing accuracy. Such methods appeared in an enlightened realm cultivator. Anyone can't understand ...
"There is no internal qi on the copper coin, how can it shoot so far"
"This kid from the Seven Star Courtyard is weird"
“......”
The steel gun rested against its owner's back again. It seems to have been expected and not surprised. Continue to move forward, "If I don't avenge the murder of the teacher, if I don't take revenge, heaven and earth will not tolerate it." ...”
Seventy zhang...
Xia Xun's expression was ruthless, and his right hand trembled dozens of times in a breath. The snow on his right sleeve fluttered.
"Ding Ding Ding..." The steel gun was another arc, cutting down dozens of copper coins.
“... The sky and the snow are the proof! Today, I will recommend Qianyan with the blood of the enemy, and the priest of the enemy with the sword in my hand..." With a loud roar, "Enemy, Xia Xun...!!" The steel gun burst out with white gas and rose into the sky.
Xia Xun swung the bamboo row in front of him. At the same time, the right side kept trembling, the speed was extremely fast, shadowless and invisible, only to see the sleeves of the snow patting, splashing endlessly. "Chirp...", countless wind-breaking sounds sounded one after another...
"I...!" roared louder
"Yin Tianci...!"
Immediately after the sound of "bang", a white mang burst out in vain, covering the whole body. A circle of internal qi exploded from his body, blowing up the wind and snow in all directions, and shattering countless copper coins. Within a radius of ten zhang, the snow turned into white mist, and thousands of ice cracks cracked on the ground. A ten-foot-tall spear-wielding phantom appeared behind him.
Xia Xun didn't stop! dragged the bamboo row back, his right hand quickly raised in front of him, and his right arm trembled wildly as he retreated, and hundreds of copper coins broke out of his sleeve and shot forward, like hundreds of seamless arrow arrays, stabbing straight at the steel spear.
"Kill...!" Yin Tianci held a gun in one hand and slammed the ground hard, and the fierce general behind him moved in unison with him.
"Bang..."A seven-zhang wide white gas burst out of the gun and went straight to Xia Xun. Everywhere I passed, the ice on the ground exploded, and the nearby wind and snow were all swept in.
"Rush..."Hundreds of copper coin arrows collided with the qi and were instantly smashed into iron shards. The aura is only weakened by one point, and the speed is not reduced at all...
Xia Xun did not hesitate, and immediately inserted the bamboo row and retreated!!
"Pound...", the aura crashed into the bamboo raft and exploded! Instead, the bamboo steak was blown to pieces in an instant and scattered. The air wave of the explosion directly sent Xia Xun several feet away and hit the bamboo bushes.
"How could that bamboo row block the blow of the Heaven-Rushing Realm! It hasn't been completely shattered yet?"
"There's a problem with that bamboo row!" "There must be a problem" "That blow instantly smashed the copper coins into powder, how could it be blocked by bamboo!" "This kid has a lot of means!" "............"
Everyone is blinded, and Xia Xun has brought them too much incomprehension today...
"What the hell is going on with the old man?" someone asked, and everyone in the vicinity looked at the old man who was going to fight.
The old man quickly made a few calculations before he said with certainty: "That's Tiezhu." The iron bamboo that can block Yin Tianci's full force blow is at least more than a thousand years. Each section weighs ten pounds, and that row weighs at least three hundred pounds," the old man thought for a while and continued.
"No wonder he wants to sleep for a while"
"What the hell is he trying to do..."
