Chapter 18: Capture the Snow Demon
We followed the Turkic Khan back to the palace, which was very different from the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and soon after we entered the palace, we came to the main hall.
The princes and ministers had been waiting for a long time, and the Turkic Khan walked into the main hall, and then walked straight to the stage and sat on his throne, while the others knelt on the ground, "Long live the Khan!"
"Flat. The Turk Khan lifted up and said, "When all the people have risen, bring them in." ”
The eunuch next to the Turkic Khan shouted loudly: "Take Wang Shixiong and others into the palace." ”
Not long after, I walked into the main hall with Xue Qin and Xiaolian, "Long live the Khan." "We, though so, did not kneel like the princes and ministers.
I saw the eunuch next to the Turkic Khan and said: "Presumptuous, when I saw the Khan, I didn't kneel." ”
Turkic Khan waved his hand: "That's it!"
When the eunuch had retreated, the Turkic Khan said to us, "Since you have come from afar, you don't know what is going on?
We didn't speak, but Xiaolian said, "Khan!"
"Don't speak, soldier, take the princess down to rest first. Turkic Khan said solemnly
Then I saw two soldiers walk in, "Princess, please!" Xiaolian stomped her feet angrily and left
The Turkic Khan continued: "What is the purpose of your coming to our people, and how do you use to confuse the princess?"
When I saw that the Turkic Khan was like this, I touched my nose and said, "Didn't Xiaolian tell you our purpose? ”
Xue Qin saw that I spoke so strongly, so he stepped forward and said, "Khan, we don't mean to offend, we just want to find the artifact search. ”
As soon as everyone heard that we were looking for the search artifact, they all began to turn their heads and ears, and Tuo Yi laughed when he heard this: "Haha! Do you know what the search artifact is? It is a sacred relic of our Turkic tribe, and you dare to come and ask for it." ”
I said, "What can you do if you have the sacred artifact of the Divine Searching Weapon? Now that you are not controlled by the Snow Demon, you can only cultivate the Martial Realm, but you cannot cultivate the True Realm, are you willing to do this? I think you also want to find one thing, right?"
Everyone was very angry when they heard me speak so presumptuously, and Tuo Yi was about to pull out the knife on his waist, "You are presumptuous?"
Turkic Khan waved his hand: "Tuoyi retreat, you said we want to find something?"
I smiled and said, "Khan knows it, do you want me to tell it? What you are looking for is Shennong Ding, you say that Shennong Ding is enshrined as a holy thing, and it has an aura, and it is an evil thing that has been suppressed, but now that Shennong Ding is lost, and snow demons are rampant, are you willing to do so?"
Turkic Khan was shocked: "In that case, I don't know what you think?"
"We also want to get the Shennong Ding, once the Shennong Ding was in my hands, but later it was left behind in the human world and its whereabouts are unknown, but if you want to find the Shennong Ding, you must search for the artifact. I said
The Turkic Khan said, "So you think that our Turkic tribe came to search for artifacts?"
"Exactly!" I looked at the Turkic Khan firmly
Everyone thought that the Turkic Khan would tie up the two of us and sacrifice to the sky, but who knew that his words would change: "Okay, the artifact can be given to you, but you must do something for me." ”
"Khan wants us to help you get rid of the Snow Demon?" I said
"Exactly!" said Turkic Khan
A minister stepped forward and said: "Khan, although it is good to get rid of the snow demon, but the search artifact is a sacred relic of our clan, and now the Shennong Ding has been lost, we can't find it, if the search artifact is handed over, I'm afraid our clan will ......."
The other ministers also chimed in, but the Turkic Khan said: "As long as you can get rid of the snow demon, the artifact will be given to you, but if you don't go out of the snow demon, don't blame the lonely and unsympathetic." ”
I looked at Xue Qin, and then said to the Turkic Khan, "Don't worry, Khan, we will definitely get rid of the Snow Demon." ”
"Alright, soldier, take the two of you down to have a good rest, and you have to entertain you. "The two of us followed the soldiers out of the main hall.
Tuobi said to the Turkic Khan: "Khan, the search artifact is now in the volcano, if they can really get rid of the snow demon, the curse of our clan will be lifted, and they can practice the cultivation realm in the future, and they can also get the search artifact." ”
Tuo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Khan, do you really want to give them the artifact?"
Turkic Khan said: "They are from outside, presumably we need to have a better understanding of the situation in the outside world, plus we have not practiced the cultivation realm for many years, it is even more difficult to find Shennong Ding." ”
"Khan Gao, in this way, we can lift the curse and recover Shennongding, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Tuo Yi said
We followed the two soldiers to a side hall of the palace, and at this moment Xiaolian ran over, "Hehe, are you all right?"
The two of us shook our heads, "It's okay, it's really embarrassing you?"
Xiaolian looked at the two soldiers and said, "You guys should retreat first, it's good to have this palace here." ”
After the soldier retreated, Xiaolian let out a sigh of relief and said, "I was really scared to death just now, for fear that the Khan would be unfavorable to you, I think he let you go, he must want you to help him go out of the snow demon, right?"
"Yes, so we need to know a little bit more about the Snow Demon. I said
Xiaolian smiled and said: "Hehe, these are not problems, those soldiers have been to the volcano, and some have even gone deep into the crater and valley bottom, I will let them come over tomorrow, if there is any problem, you can just ask." ”
Xue Qin and I said respectfully, "Thank you, princess." ”
"You can call me Xiaolian, I don't like people to call me a princess. Xiaolian turned her back to us, then turned around with a smile and said, "But all the people in this palace are very groveling to me, and there is no one who is not afraid of me, and I don't have a real friend. ”
"Uh, who were the people we saw when we first arrived?" I asked, confused
Xiaolian said: "They are friends I met outside, once I disguised myself as a man and went out, and finally got acquainted with them, so I became friends, and later they were more or less jealous when they found out my identity." ”
"I see, I only complain about being born within the high wall! Xiaolian, we are your friends, don't be so sad. Xue Qin said
"Hehe, I know you're the best, so can you tell us about the outside?" asked Xiaolian with a smile
Xue Qin nodded, "Of course." ”
The three of us walked and talked, and in a short time we turned around the whole back garden, and we came to a lotus pond, and then walked slowly along a small wooden bridge in the middle of the pool.
When I see such a blooming lotus, I can't help but feel my mood very calm, and I can also feel the abundant aura from it, many past events are vivid, I remember the original Xiaoyu and I fought the method, and I remembered Wu Yue.
"I don't know what happened to Wu Yue now? Overseas is much more dangerous than the mainland. "I thought
Xue Qin called me softly: "Shixiong, what's wrong with you?"
I came back to my senses: "Oh, it's okay, I just remembered my old friend." ”
I looked at Xue Qin, and then at Xiaolian: "I'm a little sleepy, I don't know where we're going to rest?"
Xiaolian said, "Come with me, I have already prepared a place for you to live." ”
After a while, the two of us came to a particularly quiet courtyard, Xiaolian smiled and said: "I know that the two of you are both immortal cultivators, and what you are most afraid of is disturbed by outsiders, you two live here, let them do anything if there is anything." Xiaolian said and pointed to the maidservants.
"Thank you, Xiaolian. "I said to Xue Qin
Xiaolian said: "Okay, you can rest, I still have something to do, and I will come to you tomorrow." After Xiaolian finished speaking, she left, Xue Qin and I looked at each other, and neither of us spoke.
On the other side, in Youzhou City, Zixia said worriedly: "I don't know how Brother Shixiong is now, I've been in for half a month." ”
Qinglong said: "Don't worry, it will be fine with Xue Qin." ”
Yi Feng said lightly: "Now there are four people who have died, and there is no clue at all." ”
Qinglong said: "I suspect that woman, she has a very heavy demonic aura, like a fox. ”
Zixia said: "No, it will definitely not be her." ”
Qinglong and Yifeng both looked at Zixia curiously, only to see Zixia looking into the distance: "Brother Shixiong, you have to come back quickly." ”
When I got to the room, I summoned the Colorful Golden Dragon, "Can you help me break the seal now?"
The Colorful Golden Linlong said: "Of course you can, but you can't lift it all at once, otherwise when all the true yuan power gushes out, you won't be able to bear it." ”
I nodded, and then sank my mind into the dantian, only to see that the little dragon had turned into a ray of colored light and entered my body.
Then, the little dragon came to the bottom of my dantian, it opened its mouth, and only a trace of true yuan power entered its body, and the colored light on the little dragon's body turned into pieces of scales and fell down.
As soon as the scales fell off, they all attached to the meridians, and we felt a faint tingling sensation, but it was not very serious.
The little dragon's mouth opened again, and then suddenly sucked in, only to see all the scales flying towards its mouth, and at this time, I used my soul power to feel that the seal had become much thinner.
After the little dragon took back all the scales, he returned to my arm and entered the cultivation, I sat cross-legged, my hands sealed, and sank my mind into the dantian, and found that the gap was even larger, and the true yuan power couldn't stop wandering back and forth all over the body.
I smiled in my heart: "Haha, the realm has finally improved a little, although it has not yet reached the late stage of Bigu, but it won't take long for it to recover, maybe it will reach a higher level." ”
Once I had stabilized my realm, I lay down until the next morning.
Early in the morning of this day, Xiaolian came to the small courtyard, and also brought a lot of soldiers, Xue Qin asked curiously after seeing it: "Xiaolian, what are you doing here?"
Xiaolian smiled and said, "These are the people of our Turkic tribe who know the most about volcanoes and snow demons. ”
I walked out of the room, and when I saw such a battle, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile: "It seems that I am busy today." ”
We communicated with each soldier without delay, and it was not until evening that we sent all the soldiers away.
Xue Qin said: "It seems that this matter is not simple. ”
"Yes, it is also related to the White Feather Arrow, I don't know what is going on with that person?" I frowned and continued, "The realm of the Snow Demon is not very high, but the power behind her is indeed not weak. ”
After hearing this, Xue Qin said: "This snow demon is also controlled by people, and the artifact search is at the bottom of that valley, it seems that the person behind it is still targeting us everywhere, otherwise no matter where we go, we will encounter white feather arrows, and we will also encounter monsters." ”
"You're right, there are two possibilities now, one is the other two major forces in the Ghost Realm, they deliberately did this in order to prevent me from participating in the battle for territory, and the other is that the people of the Demon Realm are making trouble behind their backs. I said
"There's a possibility, and I think the latter is greater. Xue Qin said
I nodded: "Yes, Yifeng once searched for the crack between humans and demons, but there was no clue, it seems that the people of the demon world must have set up an enchantment." ”
"If that's the case, we'll have to be more careful, you have to know the seriousness of the matter. I heard what Xue Qin said and nodded
Xiaolian said, "What are you two doing? Why can't I understand a word?"
"Hehe, nothing, we mean, tomorrow we're going to catch the Snow Demon. I said
When Xiaolian heard this, she stood up and said, "Okay, great, then I'll go tell my brother now." ”
"Don't worry, the two of us will go first tomorrow, and then you will set off after you see the signal we sent. I said
Xiaolian knew that both of us were cultivators, and regarded the two of us as best friends, so she respected our decision.
"Alright, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. After Xiaolian finished speaking, she left.
After Xiaolian left, I said to Xue Qin: "My realm has improved, we will go to find the snow demon now, time is tight." ”
Xue Qin nodded, and then the two of us flew to the top of the volcano with our swords, and then stopped to look down, and found that there was nothing to see below except for the snow mist, and it was difficult to even explore the soul power.
"Let's go down, you have to be careful. Xue Qin said
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, my martial arts realm is not idle. ”
As soon as the two of us landed, we heard a burst of women's laughter, and after a while, the two of us saw a woman in a snow-white gauze appear in front of us.
"Are you two here for me?" said the Snow Demon
I said, "Yes." ”
The snow demon turned around and said, "Childe, you want to be a slave so soon?"
When I saw that the appearance of the snow demon turned out to be Su Jin's, I shook my head, then closed my eyes, and when I opened it again, it was still Su Jin.
Xue Qin didn't know what was going on, so he stabbed at the snow demon with a sword, only to see the snow demon jump backwards and dodge
