Chapter 161 Cold Country in the North
Snowflakes began to rise in the sky again. This is the eighth heavy snowfall in half a month. Xuanyuan Huaijin understood that in less than half an hour, any object he saw in front of him would be covered by the vast white snow, and the world would be wrapped in silver.
He rolled up his fur and hid in the mountain pass for a rest.
Since stepping into the northern region, the weather has suddenly become cold, especially in the boundary of Mohe City. It is full of ice and snow that will never melt, the cold wind is piercing, a small snow in three days, and a large amount of snow in five days.
As Xiao Yong's apprentice, he led those carefully prepared goods to Xiao Yong's shop here. After giving Xiao Yong's handwritten letter to the shopkeeper, he finally had a foothold in Mohe City.
The shopkeeper told him that if it weren't for Xiao Yong's sake, he was afraid that he would have become a dead bone on the way to come before he stepped into the city.
That's what he said, but Xuanyuan Huaijin still found that the people here were indeed very wary of outsiders. After he stepped into the northern region, the news with the outside world was completely cut off.
After exploring for a long time, the shopkeeper finally told him that the only special phenomenon in Mohe City in the near future was Chengbai Mountain, 20 or 30 miles north of the city. The mountain often glowed at night in the past few days.
Therefore, today Xuanyuan Huaijin will take the risk and prepare to enter the mountain.
If it is on the ordinary world, the journey of 20 or 30 miles can only be reached in half a day. However, in the ice and snow of the northern country, Xuanyuan Huaijin has been walking for almost a day, and the sudden heavy snow makes it even more difficult for him to walk.
He finally reached the foot of the mountain. He was so tired that his limbs were weak. He looked up at the seemingly unattainable top of the mountain, and there was a sharp wind in his ear. The snowflakes patted his face and hurt people's cheeks. He doubted whether he could find the target.
"The last star is not necessarily a human." Thinking of Xiao Yong's headless words before leaving, Xuanyuan Huaijin's eyebrows frowned more tightly.
In this vast snowy mountain, it is already difficult to find someone to climb to the sky. If it is not a human, there is no way to start. However, the only one who knows the identity of the last star king is Xiao Yong at present, but he refuses to say clearly that Xuanyuan Huaijin can only fight for luck.
"You son, it will be dark later. Although there won't be any wolves here, Chengbai Mountain has always been our sacred mountain. It's better not to enter the mountain at night. The guide found by the shopkeeper took a look at the heavy snow covering the sky and said with some glanno.
Xuanyuan Huaijin nodded inconceively. In these days in the Northern Regions, he has also seen the power of ice and snow, and naturally he dares not listen to the guide.
Just when they were worried, the heavy snow all over the sky suddenly disappeared. If it hadn't been for the thick layer of snow on the ground, I'm afraid everyone would have regarded the heavy snow just been a dream.
"Has the mountain god manifested?" The guide poked out his head and looked at the blue sky. Then he knelt down in the snow and worshipped three times in the direction of the top of Chengbai Mountain. He said a large series of fast and mouthful local words, which should be a prayer.
Xuanyuan Huaijin came out with him. For this unpredictable celestial phenomenon, he could only sigh with the magic of creation.
Naturally, he did not kneel down like the guide, but inadvertently looked at the top of the mountain, which made him immediately forget to say something impulsively. As soon as he took the wrong step, he ran straight to the mountain.
When the guide raised his head after worshipping the mountain god, the four fields had long lost the trace of Xuanyuan Huaijin.
The snow is heavy, and it sinks step by step, which is extremely difficult to walk. Xuanyuan Huaijin pinched the floating formula so that he could move forward at a relatively fast speed. Although he was bold, he did not dare to fly high easily to resist the fierce mountain wind rushing down from the top of the mountain.
He just realized that he saw that a mountain pass not far from the top of the mountain rushed out of the sky. A familiar and inexplicable feeling told him that it should be his goal - the last star king.
It's just that the dead horse runs away from the mountain. When he looked at the foot of the mountain, he clearly saw it clearly. After really stepping into the mountain, he was shocked to find that it was white everywhere, and he didn't know the depth everywhere. After running for a long time, he didn't feel close to his destination for a long time.
As the vision in the mountain gradually fades, the brilliance of the sky gradually disappears, making this search more and more difficult.
"Damn!" Standing on a taller snowdrift, Xuanyuan looked around, but there was no trace of glory in the white snow, and he couldn't help getting angry.
It seems that the sky also sensed his unwillingness. In this quiet time, there was another loud noise in the mountain, and then it lit up half of the sky more brilliantly than before. The luminous position was at the corner not far from the location of Xuanyuan Huaijin.
Xuanyuan Huaijin was overjoyed and rushed over.
After turning a snow wall, what appeared in front of him was a one-person-high cave. The colorful sky is emanating from the cave. On this Chengbai Mountain, which is windy and snowing all day long and cold to the bone, there is no unusual amount of snow at this time.
"I didn't expect that there would be people living in such a bad place." Xuanyuan Huaijin waited until the brilliance rushing out of the cave was not as dazzling as at the beginning before he stepped over.
The cave is very rough, hidden on the top of the white snow. If it weren't for the guidance of the glory, no one would know it. What a strange person actually chose such a bitter place, which made Xuanyuan Huaijin look forward to it.
The entrance of the cave is about one person tall. Walking about a hundred steps, it suddenly becomes a spacious place comparable to a palace. What disappointed Xuanyuan Huaijin was that there was no trace of people in it, only the ice wall that covered the whole cave wall in the innermost part of the cave.
The ice wall is directly on the top of the cave, and I don't know how thick it is. Xuanyuan Huaijin couldn't see the end of it. He took the knife on his body and stabbed it hard. It was just the ice crumbs that broke the ice a little bit, which showed the hardness of the ice wall.
"Is there another organ in the cave?" He looked around doubtfully.
At this time, there was a shock in the hole, followed by a beam of light rushing out from the innermost part of the ice wall, shooting straight out of the hole and scattering into a colorful sky.
After the light decreased sharply, Xuanyuan Huaijin put down the sleeves that covered the light and looked in the direction of the light. In the depths of the ice wall, there is a faint light in the position of the beam of light.
"The last star is not necessarily a human." Xiao Yong's last words sounded in his ear again.
Looking at this kind of thing in front of him, Xuanyuan Huaijin suddenly understood.
It is impossible to hide living people in the depths of this ice wall. The only possibility is that there is an item frozen inside, and this item symbolizes the last star king.
"How about this?" Xuanyuan Huaijin has a headache.
The test just now has made it clear that the ice wall can't be destroyed by manpower. Even if you dig with a magic weapon, if you want to dig out the buried object, you don't know how long it will take.
The disaster of Taiweixing is imminent. Where is there any time to wait?
"Is it the Xuanyuan clan that is about to die?" He was suddenly a little depressed. After a lot of hard work, I still can't beat God's will.
"People of the Xuanyuan clan?" In the silence, a faint sound suddenly sounded in his ear, making him alert in an instant.
"Who?" He looked around, and there was no trace at a glance. He finally focused his eyes on the object deep in the ice wall.
Although he can't see what it is, there is always a voice in his heart that affirms that it is the source of his speech.
"Where's the princess?" The voice sounded again, "Let the princess pick me up."
"Princess?" Xuanyuan Huaijin asked doubtfully. Speaking of princesses, Xuanyuan Huang Dynasty only has a phoenix princess, Xuanyuan Huaisheng, at present.
It's just that the voice was really weak. It only repeated the "princess" twice, and then it disappeared.
No matter what the facts are, Xuanyuan Huaijin can only hold a glimmer of hope at this time. If the princess in the words really refers to Xuanyuan Huaisheng, then he must try his best to bring the princess here.
When he was about to leave, the ice wall suddenly changed. There were a lot of ice edges on the already flat wall, and then the already bottomless ice wall quietly thickened the thickness of at least one arm in front of Xuanyuan Huaijin.
If it hadn't been for the footprints deliberately left by Xuanyuan Huaijin when he stood in front of the ice wall had been covered by the ice wall, he would not have realized that there was such a terrible thing.
It seems that the ice wall is not so thick in the first place. It's just an increase one after another, which makes it incredibly thick. If time continues to drag on, it will be more difficult to open it later.
"It's not too late. You need to pick up your sister as soon as possible." Xuanyuan Huaijin can only be regarded as a living doctor.
While Xuanyuan Huaijin was desperately rushing back from the Northern Regions, Xuanyuan Day was spending a lot of money on Xuanyuan Huaisheng's marriage. According to Xuanyuan Huaisheng, this marriage must be grand, so that everyone can watch her marry Zhou Chongxiao.
The princess's marriage is something that cannot be ignored, not to mention that the emperor pays attention to it. It's just that the emperor's face was not happy at all, but he was even more annoyed. Since he knew that Zhou Chongxiao was a fluorescent planet, his face has not looked good.
Unlike Xuanyuan's worries, Yang Fei Yang Ling and Xuanyuan Huaisheng have spent more time, and people are much happier. After confirming her guess, she was finally willing to inform Xuanyuan about this matter.
"Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty still worried about Zhou Chongxiao? She comforted each other softly. Even if she was not the real concubine of Xuanyuan Dayu, it really made him feel much more comfortable.
"Can you not worry about it? Princess... alas!" Xuanyuan Day blamed himself when he thought that he had married his daughter to the disaster star.
"But the mage didn't say that if Ying Dou meets the greedy wolf and helps Lian Zhen, it is not only not a disaster, but also can establish meritorious deeds and have the help of generals, which is a rare good thing." Yang Ling explained gently, "The concubine came today to report the good news to the emperor. This greedy wolf and integrity are indeed suppressing the fluorescent planet at present, and they are the emperor's good assistants.
