Chapter 3 A Thousand Mountains and Snow Dance, Who Complains Silently
The mountains in the secluded valley are full of flowers, and the fragrant wind is mighty, like a paradise.
In the eyes of the eye, even in a blessed place like Luofu Mountain, it is difficult to find such a warm and gorgeous place of birds and flowers. Perhaps, it is precisely because this valley is far away from the main peak of Luofu and inaccessible to people that the wildflowers in the valley can grow so brilliantly and brilliantly, like the tide and the sea. In such a sea of fragrant wind and flowers, Qiong Wei found a cool cave covered by vines, so Xingyan went into the cave with them to enjoy the cool and enjoy the rare refreshment of this hot afternoon.
After getting used to the dim light in the cave, he stared into the cave and found that this cave in the belly of the mountain was like a gourd that had been put down, with a small mouth and a big belly, and it was extremely dark and deep to look inside, and he couldn't see the end clearly. The cave was so quiet that if you didn't listen intently, you could only hear your own heartbeat and breathing. After a while, when the ears of the awakening voice had also adjusted to the silence of the cave, they could hear the occasional sound of water droplets coming from the depths of the black rumbling cave, which was so small that I didn't know how many miles had passed.
When he first entered the cave from the sun-soaked valley, he only felt that his whole body was surrounded by a strong cold air, which was very comfortable. It's just that after a while, when the heat on my body fades, I feel a little chilly. At this time he was standing in the innermost part, and the cold wind blowing from the depths of the ancient cave was blowing on him. After a while, he was swept away by a swirling cold wind, and Xingyan couldn't help but shiver.
"Hall Master, the wind inside is a little cold, isn't it?"
It was Xue Yi who spoke. The Qingling woman in a simple white dress shivered when she saw Xingyan shivering in the dim light, so she asked him with concern.
"It's fine, it's just a cold gust of wind. β
Xingyan laughed and said, "I can't stand this cool breeze, how can I be your hall master." β
"Hmm. β
Kou Xueyi responded, thought for a while, and said, "Hall Master, Xue Yi is not afraid of the cold, so let Xue Yi block it for the Hall Master." β
As he spoke, Xue Yi walked lightly, wanting to go around behind Xingyan and block the cold wind blowing from the depths of the ancient cave for him.
Seeing her so humble and detailed, she blurted out the words that had been held in her heart for a long time: "Xueyi, why are you suffering? I told you a long time ago that you are not my slave! But, I don't know how many times I have said, you just don't listen to me!"
Seeing that Xue Yi always regarded herself as a slave and maid, and treated him everywhere, Xingyan always felt uncomfortable. He also implicitly mentioned this matter to Xue Yi several times, but she is still the same as always, and she never knows how to change it. So this time, the young hall master finally couldn't help but say it directly. Hearing his words, the woman who was originally stepping forward suddenly stopped, only hesitating in place, not knowing how to deal with herself.
said what he thought strongly, but seeing that Xue Yi became so cramped, he was at a loss in the same place, and he was a little sorry in his heart. It's just that I think about it again, if I soften my cheeks a little at this time, I'm afraid she will always be like this in the future. Thinking about it like this, Xingyan hardened his heart and didn't speak again. So the silence in the cave was restored, and the active Qiong Wei, seeing that her brother seemed to be a little unhappy, had to stay where she was and rest obediently.
In this somewhat embarrassing silence, the little girl, who had always been well-behaved and cool, suddenly tilted her head and pricked up her ears to listen to the cave. After a while, the little sister, who had a very keen sense of hearing, reported to her brother: "Brother, there seem to be a lot of people fighting!"
Since Qiong Wei came back from going to Nanhai County with Xingyan to suppress bandits, she called a fight between more than three people a "war".
"War?"
After listening to Qiong Wei's words, Xingyan and Lingyi were a little puzzled, and they hurriedly listened to the light at the entrance of the cave.
"There's something wrong. β
After listening carefully for a while, Xingyan and Lingyi glanced at each other, and immediately greeted each other, and the four of them flew out of this isolated cave together, and hurried towards the main peak of Luofu hundreds of miles away.
Skipping over how these people from Sihaitang rushed to Feiyunding, it is said that in the endless plains and hills near Luofu for five hundred miles, there is a big river that flows endlessly, called "Yishui". The Lingnan area near Luofu is rainy, and the water in the area where the river flows is abundant, so that the water surface of the river has become extremely open at the mouth of the sea that flows into the South China Sea. The mighty river rushes into the sea, and the sediment brought along the way meets the salty water in the sea, and then settles down, forming large and small sandbanks. Because of the dozens of sandbanks scattered around the mouth of the river, fishermen in the vicinity have collectively called these sandbanks "chessboard islands". Qipanzhou is located at the mouth of the water, and the sea water between the sand islands is a little turbid, and there are many whirlpools flowing all day and night, which is extremely dangerous. Because of the existence of these whirlpools, fishermen in the vicinity generally bypass it far away when they go out to sea. And this chessboard continent, which is already surging undercurrents, is even more unquiet this day.
At noon on this day, when the young hall master hundreds of miles away went to the mountains to look for a secluded visit, an uninvited guest suddenly floated in the turbid water.
"Report the Dragon!"
When this aquatic warrior with a slender body and a long mouth and armor on the cheeks swam up from the upper reaches of the water and rushed to the black-robed and black-armored lord, he hurriedly reported: "The subordinates have found out, and the Sihaitang has poured out. The hall master and the three women, including the princess of Sidu, all headed northeast of Luofu and would not return for a while. β
"Well done!"
The Nanhai Water Marquis, who was easily moved in front of his subordinates, heard the Malay report, and said surprisingly well, "Yes, he is indeed the captain of the South China Sea Divine Shadow." If this trip goes well, credit to you!"
"Xie Longhou!"
The praised captain of the aquarium was overjoyed, and replied loudly, then fainted into obscurity, stepped aside and continued to listen to the order. It turned out that this transparent slender warrior was the captain general in the South China Sea Dragon Army's Horse Scout, named "Divine Shadow Seahorse", who had always led the tribe and was responsible for spying on the Candle Ghost Clan, which was the eyes and ears of the South China Sea Dragon Clan. I don't know why this time, the lord of the South China Sea, Meng Zhang, led his majesty to hide in the small chessboard continent, and dispatched this scout leader to spy on the daily life of a human hall master.
"We can go. β
Without thinking about it, Meng Zhang gave an order and prepared to lead his elite soldiers to Luofu Mountain. It's just that just before he gave the order, Long Lingzi, the confidant and strategist next to him, still seemed to be a little puzzled. Relying on the fact that he had always been the lord's descendant and strategist, Long Ling cautiously asked the lord: "Prince, please forgive your subordinates for their ignorance, Long Ling thinks about it, but there is still something unclear." β
"You say!"
Shui Hou was obviously in a good mood.
"That's the case, with all due respect to the old minister's bluntness, the master of Hall Zhang who escaped by luck was bold and reckless, and dared to lure the princess to leave the palace and live on Luofu Mountain, which is naturally unforgivable. It's just that if you forgive her subordinates for being disrespectful, if you look into the origin of this matter, Princess Sidu also has some responsibility, if she hadn't insisted on going her own way, just for fun, how could that little human hall master dare to desecrate the prestige of Longhou......"
"Long Ling, what do you want to say after saying so much?"
Listening to him go around and talk a lot, Meng Zhang was already a little impatient. Seeing that he was displeased, Long Ling hurriedly quickened his speech: "Actually, the old minister just thinks that the prince has always acted above board, so he shouldn't have a fight with this little mortal." The human realm of Middle-earth is the spirit of the three worlds, between gods and ghosts, and is a blessed place in the four directions. If you fight this time, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Bold!"
As soon as Long Ling said this, he was interrupted by a violent shout. Long Ling looked over and found that the person who drank him off was not the Dragon Marquis in front of him, but a dragon clan general standing on his left. This general, his face is pale, his face is like a flat plate, he is covered in a white robe and white armor, and the white light around him is flying, as if he is covered in a cloud of snow and mist.
"Oh, it turned out to be General Wuzhiqi!
The person who spoke was General Wuzhi Qi, one of the eight generals of the Dragon God, but Long Ling had been with Meng Zhang all the time, and he knew some of his embarrassing origins, so he didn't take him very seriously.
Wu Zhiqi also heard Long Ling's contemptuous tone, but he was still expressionless, and said coldly with a face like a white wall: "Long Ling! Si Zhen accepted the bride price of the lord, and the princess was the wife of the lord who had not passed the door. That kid of the Zhang family didn't know the height of the sky, and dared to lure her to escape from marriage, this is a great crime! And we have been following the lord for a long time, and we should know that if the lord tries his best to arrange it, there will naturally be other deep meaningsββ"
Wu Zhiqi said slowly with an expressionless face: "As courtiers, we shouldn't speculate on our intentions. All we have to do is obey the orders of the Shui Hou Army, and that's enough!"
"Good!
Hearing Wu Zhiqi's words, Meng Zhang slapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Wu said it well, it is not in vain that I will hand over the floating city Chongji Cold Ice City to you." Hmph, when the four blasphemous old men excluded you, it was he who lost his breath. β
Somehow, Meng Zhang's words to his possible future grandfather-in-law were unceremonious. He said again: "Dragon Spirit, you don't have to wonder. As General Wu said, this trip to Luofu Benhou is not just for the personal feelings of his children, but has another deep meaning. I'll tell you more when I get back. We're going nowβlet's go!"
The military order was issued like a mountain, and the dragon soldiers who had long been eager to try in the whirlpool of the chessboard continent immediately rushed out, traced up from the river of Xushui, and quickly covered the cave in the world.
Without further ado, almost half an hour later, the originally sunny Luofu was in the air, and suddenly the clouds were overcast, and countless black clouds and haze floated from the southwest, connecting into a array, covering the sky and the sun, and pressing heavily towards the top of the flying clouds where the Shangqing Palace was located.
"Is it going to rain?"
Seeing the black clouds rolling in the sky, the Shangqing disciples who were suffering from the heat came out of the room one by one and looked at the sky.
At this time, it seems to be in harmony with the surging clouds in the sky, and the mountains and forests are blowing strong winds; not only the main peak of Luofu, where the Shangqing Gate is located, is blown away by the sand and rocks, but even those deep streams and dense forests are blowing in the wind, and the branches and leaves are falling.
At this time, the head of the sect, Ling Xuzi, who was closing his eyes and cultivating in the Feiyunding Meditation Room, although he did not see the terrifying appearance of the black clouds pressing the cliff outside, he suddenly opened his eyes at a certain moment, and was stunned for a while, and then sighed, took off the sword weapon on the wall, and walked out of the door.
When he also walked to the Flying Cloud Peak Plaza, the overwhelming pitch-black cloud array also happened to roll and fly directly above the Flying Cloud Peak. When the black clouds firmly covered the top of the flying clouds, the day was as dark as night. And in the treacherous black haze, there was already a faint thunder rolling at this time, and from time to time a miserable white lightning flashed, brightening the foothills shrouded in dark clouds.
Seeing such a strange situation, the Shangqing disciples, who had originally run outside to blow the cool breeze, began to feel faintly uneasy in their hearts. At this time, the green waters and green mountains around them were as gloomy as a ghost domain.
"Why is this rain still delaying?"
Somehow, the strong wind blowing on the body at this moment has lost the coolness it had begun, and the fishy snort of a fierce beast blowing on people only makes me feel creepy, and at the same time extremely depressed. At this time, not only those junior disciples who had no spiritual wit, but even the Shangqing seniors who were quite cultivated, couldn't help but secretly pray in their hearts, praying that the raindrops behind the strange black clouds would pour down quickly, as if only in this way could they wash away the breathless heaviness.
"Cluck"
Just as everyone couldn't stop praying in their hearts, the black clouds high above suddenly flourished, and a thick lightning bolt rushed past everyone's eyes like a dragon and snake, and then a huge thunderclap exploded in people's ears!
"Wow-"
was shaken by the thunder, and everyone seemed to hear the sound of the curtain opening. Looking up at the sky, I found that the sky that was tightly hidden by black clouds was suddenly opening open!
"The creatures of Luofu Mountain. β
As the cloud gate opened, in the watery blue sky between the black clouds on both sides, there was a sudden burst of majestic low words, and a low roar was in everyone's ears: "You have violated the heavenly precepts by seducing the princess of our clan and detaining them in Luofu Mountain. Today, God came to find out thoroughly. β
With these words, which seemed to be far away, a tall god faintly appeared in the cloud light, surrounded by black air, looking down on these small creatures on the ground with a majestic expression. Behind him, the long cloak seemed to be soaked in the color of the night, and it was hunting and flying in the gray clouds.
The peaks of Luofu are dead silent.
"Dare to ask the gods, are you the Dragon Marquis of the South China Sea?"
In the silence of a chilling cicada, the small Lingxu master on the top of Feiyun was looking up against the wind blowing in the sky, asking difficult questions to the gods in the sky.
"Hmm...... I am. I am the third prince of the Dragon God of the South China Sea, Meng Zhang. β
The dragon god, who was originally speaking in a low voice, had a loud voice at this time, and the words in his mouth were like stone grinders, rolling from the sky, and hitting the hearts of the Dao disciples on the ground one after another.
"Oh. β
Lingxu's thin body stood like a mountain, and he responded softly, and a string of faint words reached the ears of the gods against the wind of the sky: "Little Lao'er is in charge of Lingxu." I don't know what Long Hou said, please search. β
"Good. β
The word "good" fell like thunder, and after a while, the entire Feiyun Peak, as well as the viewing hall that hugged the three peaks of Zhu Ming and Yuxiu, suddenly seemed to be hit by four vast and invisible giant hands, and in an instant, almost all the roofs of the hall were lifted, and the frenzied wind swarmed in, stirring up the house where the Shangqing disciples had lived for a long time into ruins. Just a few moments later, many of the carefully built houses of the Shangqing Palace became a pile of desolate ruins. Among them, there are many Shangqing disciples, I don't know whether they were hit by flying bricks and tiles, or they feel sorry for the house of the gate, and they are crying all the time.
At this time, many of the Shangqing disciples gathered in front of the mountain halls in various places, many of whom had mana, had already pressed their swords or secretly prepared spells, preparing to fight to the death with the gods in the sky as long as the elders around them gave an order. It's just that the first hall master among them, seeing that the head of the Feiyun Peak was still silent at this moment, he restrained the door and temporarily held back.
At this moment, the heavenly gods were heard to speak again: "There is another one!"
After such an unprecedented catastrophe, the tall Sky Viewing Pavilion behind Lingxu was still standing, and a yellow-painted Huaixian Hall next to it was also standing. At this moment, what Meng Zhang was referring to was the Huaixian Hall with yellow light.
"The ......"
Looking back at the Huaixian Hall where the spirit flags were fluttering, Lingxuzi still looked calm, but his waist, which had always been straight, was bent down at this time.
Bending down at the gods in the sky, Lingxu pleaded: "God waits for the report, that Huaixian Hall enshrines the heroic spirits of the ancestors of my Shangqing Gate, and it is the holy land of this gate. My spirit is guaranteed by the thousand-year-old reputation of this door, and there is no dragon princess in Huaixian Hall who is waiting to be found. β
"Humph!"
Hearing this, the gods in the clouds snorted contemptuously, and a gust of wind like a knife and a saw rose behind the Daoist on the ground, blowing towards the Shangqing Ancestral Hall blessed by the Dao Law.
"Sword Formation!"
At this time, the head of Shangqing, who had been tolerating and respecting, finally couldn't help it and shouted to the sky. With the words that the head of the sect seemed to shout with all his strength, countless flying swords suddenly flew up in the sky above the vast Feiyun Peak, with different colors of light, flying vertically and horizontally in the air above Luofu according to the direction of Tai Chi Bagua, forming a tight sword formation. When this sword array floated, as if an invisible link had been severed in the dark, the whirlwind that was rushing towards Huaixiantang suddenly dissipated.
"Haha!"
Seeing them resisting, the water marquis in the clouds laughed instead of anger, and his voice shook the world: "Humble people, dare to resist Tianwei!"
Seeing the sword light in the sky above the mountains of the Shangqing Dynasty, splashing water and not entering, Meng Zhang didn't care, just raised his face and let out a long roar: "Whew-"
Accompanied by the long roar of the dragon clan water god in the black cloud array, from his mouth and nose, countless white gases suddenly erupted, and as soon as he met the wind, he turned into countless white cold dragons, opening their teeth and dancing claws, and rushed towards the ground fiercely. Everywhere they went, everything they encountered became frozen, and it didn't take long for the Feiyunding area to seem to have entered the harsh winter of Sanjiu, and the sky was freezing everywhere, and the ice was shining. And those mountain protection sword weapons that were originally flying in the air encountered these violent cold dragons, although a few were able to make some gains and split the cold dragons into ice gas, but most of the flying swords had already fallen.
At this time, the dragon marquis who was laughing wildly in the clouds waved his hand, and with a "click" behind him, the dragon army that came from the cold ice city, one of the eight floating cities in the South China Sea, appeared together, and under the leadership of the leader Shenjiang Wuzhiqi, pushed the hail cart full of Xuan ice, broke through the clouds, rumbled and flew over the five hundred miles of Luofu, and threw countless cold snow and hail to the human cave sky of the four seasons of Changchun.
After that, Luofu Cave Heaven, which has been pleasant for thousands of years, has been ravaged with ice and snow, as if it has become a Shura purgatory where ghosts cry and howl!
And all this, from the arrival of dark clouds, to the appearance of Meng Zhang, the destruction of the palace, and the flying of ice and snow, is only a small half of an effort, and it is such a small half of an effort, after thousands of years of Taoist fame, has been devastated. At this time, the Luofu Peaks have been full of snowflakes and ice splashes, as if they have become a bitter cold place in the far north!
It's just that just as the snow dances on the thousand mountains and the ghosts cry and the gods are angry, a few strange lightning flashes suddenly flashed in the dim cloud sky. One of them had a silver light like moonlight, and it flew like an arrow towards the water tribe dragon marquis who was standing by and watching complacently.
"Yikes!"
The divine arrow flew in, Meng Zhang was caught off guard, and with an instinctive flash, he was able to avoid this fatal arrow. It's just that the majestic Xuanxian cloak behind him has been pierced by a divine arrow.
"Shenyue Arrow?"
Before the words fell, I could hear someone flying in the snowstorm, and scolded angrily: "What a despicable water marquis, he dares to kill in the famous mountains in the Four Blasphemy Domains!"
"Hah!"
Seeing the angry person clearly, Meng Zhang laughed, lowered his figure, changed his tone and said, "It turned out to be Sister Lingyi." Sister, you can't blame me, it's all to blame for the shameless mortal next to you, who dared to coax my wife, who had not passed through the door, to run away from home and live with him. This time, I'm just teaching him a little lesson!"
"Well, I, Meng Zhang, have always been generous, as long as you are willing to go back with me today, I will not blame the past and let these humble and ignorant creatures go. β
"You-"
Listening to Meng Zhang's words, Ling Yi's face was flushed with anger, the divine bow in his hand opened like a full moon, and he raised his hand and shot an arrow. This time, Meng Zhang was on guard, and just before the crystal arrow light reached him, he had already laid a hard ice film in front of him, barely blocking the Shenyue arrow. In the blink of an eye, the arc-shaped protective ice membrane had been shattered, but Meng Zhang was safe and sound after all.
Just when Meng Zhang was entangled with Lingyi, the hall master of the four seas who came in a hurry didn't care too much, seeing that his master was in trouble, he only cared about struggling to cast the Yaoguang Divine Sword, and in the mid-air conflict of the snow and hail, the "Flying Moon Streamer Slash" flew around his body, scattering many cold dragons who were abusive, and even forced many cold armorers under Wuzhi Qi to flee one after another, and could no longer care about casting hail. Not far from Xingyan, Qiong Wei summoned the Divine Bird Vermilion Bird, which flew back and forth in full swing, and kept expelling the dragon soldiers, while Kou Xueyi fluttered his spirit staff vigorously, striking out the colorful blue flowers in the sky, and striking at the dragon army that killed the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty. With the two of them from Sasuke, the place where the three of them passed through the four seas hall was invincible and unstoppable. At this time, under the best efforts of Lingxu, Qingming and other Shangqing Su Qi, Rao is South China Sea Dragon Army was powerful, and its momentum was not as terrifying as when it began to descend from the sky and attack rapidly.
Seeing this, the dragon general Wuzhiqi, who was still watching the battle from the sidelines, held a huge ghost head ice saw knife, let out a shout, and rushed towards Xingyan to block him;
By this time, the tide of battle was no longer as one-sided as it had been. In the midst of the chaos, many Shangqing disciples had already rescued their fellow disciples who were dead and wounded on the ground and were crying out in a hidden place, trying their best to heal their wounds. It's just that at this moment, the Nanhai Shuihou, who was chasing with the angry princess of the four desecrations, like a joke, caught a glimpse of the battle situation in front of him, and suddenly turned around and smiled, and said: "Hey, Ling'er, look, we were patronizing and playing, but we forgot the culprit!"
After saying a word, Shui Hou, who was smiling, suddenly looked solemn, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Go!"
With a shout, his divine whip "Sky Flash", which had not been sacrificed, suddenly flew out of the sky and circled around the cloudy sky; it was the divine whip made of eight lightning bolts by the thunder god in the sky, and at this moment it suddenly appeared in its true form, suddenly turning into eight huge lightning bolts that pierced the sky, like rampant crab legs, illuminating the sky of thousands of miles of clouds, and then converging into a thick snow-white electric column, shining with a blinding strong light, and slamming towards the young man who was concentrating on resisting the dragon general!
As the saying goes, "lightning strikes before thunder." At this moment, the people and gods who were fighting in the sky of Luofu Cave were dark, but they felt that a white light flashed in front of them, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them.
"Boom!"
Hearing a loud bang, the young man felt a burst of warmth behind him in an instant, and before he could react, his body was already hundreds of zhang away! Behind him, there was a long stream of phosgene, alternating yellow and green, like a willow spring embankment that stretched for more than ten miles. And in this unending blue shadow yellow light, the poisonous snake-like snow-bright electric light is turning into a devouring blade, trying to advance in the lingering blue light, trying to penetrate the other side of the life in one fell swoop!
When the young man in danger quickly came to his senses, he and the people behind him had already flown hundreds of miles away in the gloomy clouds. And the sinister electric light behind him instantly scorched the airflow in the place where it passed, expanding outward and exploding, emitting a soul-chasing thunderclap.
"Xueyi!"
When Xingyan finally fully reacted, the Meixue elf who had been behind him all his life had come to the end of his life after bursting out with brilliant brilliance.
"Let's go!"
In the first shout of his life to the hall master, the warmth behind him suddenly exploded, catapulting his body forward, and in the cold wind whistling in his face, he flew hundreds of miles in an instant.
β......β
"Is this the difference?"
When it was time to say goodbye, it was short and hurried, and when the boy landed gently, he thought that he had just had a somewhat sad dream.
Yes, it was just a dream, and now that I woke up, I could reach out and gently hold the woman who had been following me from side to side. It's just that......
It's just that why does the palm stick out for so long, but it never grabs anything?
Why did it take so long that only a little cold fell into the palm of your hand?
One, two, three......
One drop, two drops, three drops......
