On a plain white snow mountain, six ant-like black spots were slowly climbing up.
The mountain is extremely high, and after two days of walking, we are not even halfway there. On the road, there were more and more tall icicles, and igloos, ice tables and other objects gradually appeared. It was obvious that someone had lived here. However, after walking for such a long time, I didn't even see a single person.
But everyone is convinced that there must be something in the mountains watching them silently. This feeling was so strong that even Qiaoban, who had always been slow, noticed something was wrong.
For this reason, I also searched the surroundings carefully, but apart from the wind and snow in the sky, I didn't find even a single figure. This feeling is very bad, as if a knife is hanging in the air and will fall on my neck at any time.
The six people moved forward cautiously in shock and doubt, not knowing when this invisible knife would fall. However, what they didn't know was that in the air behind them, the wind and snow would condense into eyes, peeping at the six people from a distance. When someone turns their head, these eyes will turn into wind and snow again, blending into the ubiquitous cold wind.
Finally, the group stopped halfway up the mountain. The scene that appeared in front of them made the six of them a little stunned. They subconsciously gathered around and carefully guarded all directions.
On the mountainside, a crystal palace-like palace appeared. The entire palace is made of ice, with cylindrical stone columns, four-corner eaves, and numerous terraces. The so-called Qionglou Yuyu could only appear in books in the past, but today we can see the real thing.
In front of the temple, there are flowers, birds and trees carved from ice, with different and lifelike expressions. Walking in this crystal-like world, everything was crystal clear and strange, and all six people were amazed. What kind of people created this paradise on earth.
Walking to the entrance of the palace, looking at the empty palace, several people looked at each other, but they all looked at Wu Gen.
Wu Gen shrugged, coughed twice, and said loudly to the main hall: "Is there anyone there? A foreigner came here to visit. He left in a hurry and didn't bring a gift in his hand. If you don't say anything, it's just a welcome." The voice echoed in the hall. , rumbling sound.
After three breaths, the sounds in the hall gradually died down, leaving only the word "welcome". Wu Gen looked happy and cupped his hands toward the hall, "Thank you." He turned around and greeted everyone, "Come in, the master agrees with us." Entered."
That's okay. Watching Wu Gen's operation, Baoxiang rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Thank you for the hospitality, Master. I originally brought two kilograms of pig head meat as a meeting gift, but I forgot it before leaving. Master You don't want to return the favor." He said, cupping his hands into the empty hall and laughing loudly.
Feng'er passed by Wu Gen and Baoxiang, rolled her eyes at them, and said, "Idiots." She entered the palace alone.
After entering the hall, there were ice tables and ice tables with melons and fruits carved out of ice. There were also ice bottles next to them. It really looked like the host was hosting a banquet to entertain guests.
Wu Gen, Bao Xiang, and Qiao Ban were running around in the hall, curiously touching left and right, and making comments from time to time. As a result, the originally gloomy hall became more popular and became less chilly than before.
"Okay, you guys are guests at other people's homes. Isn't it rude to act like this?" Shui Congyue couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the three of them from messing around. Da was born in a noble family and was influenced by poetry, books and etiquette. Naturally, he couldn't stand what the three of them did.
"Chuckling." During the quarrel, a crisp laughter suddenly came from the door of the palace. The laughter was so sudden that it startled all six of them. The holly bird was even more excited. It jumped behind Wu Gen and looked towards the door.
There was silence all around. The six people each held weapons and looked at the door warily. In such a lifeless world, the sudden appearance of movement is a bit scary.
"Who?" Wu Gen asked, walking cautiously towards the door.
There was another burst of laughter, and a little head poked out from the side of the palace door. He looked like a child of six or seven years old, with a braid on his head, a snow-white complexion, and his dark eyes looking at everyone curiously.
Wu Gen took a step back in fright. When he first entered the Ghost Mother Nine Sons Formation, he was almost killed by those ghosts, and he has been in a shadow since then. Especially in this ghost place, the sudden appearance of a child is even more nerve-wracking.
The child came out from behind the door,
As soon as Fang appeared, whistling sounds were heard everywhere, and the wind and snow outside the palace suddenly became stronger. Goose-feather snowflakes crowded in through the door, and the palace was suddenly covered with a blanket of white snow.
"Mom, what's this? You don't need to make such a big fuss every time you appear." Baoxiang trembled and shrank behind Qi He, but Feng'er's eyes rolled again.
The child ran in barefoot from the palace door, walked directly to Wu Gen, raised his head and stretched out his hands, indicating that he wanted to hug him. Wu Gen looked at the jade-like boy in front of him. It was so cold, but there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
Gudong, Wu Gen swallowed his saliva, deliberately not wanting to pay attention to this seemingly harmless boy. But there is a feeling in the dark that if I don't hug him, something bad may happen.
After looking behind him, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Wu Gen hesitated and said, "Feng'er, why don't you come? This child looks quite cute."
Feng'er's face pulled down, "Gungun, they are looking for you. Humph, be careful because the fetus in your belly is dead and they are looking for your life."
In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to hold the boy up with both hands. A chill spread from his hands and spread throughout his body. Soon, Wu Gen's eyebrows and hair were covered with a layer of ice.
The boy's dark eyes looked straight at Wu Gen, showing no cuteness at all. A layer of solid ice had formed on his hands, which were bonded to the boy's body and could no longer be separated.
It was up to him. Wu Gen turned around pitifully and tried to ask for help from a few people. Shui Congyue strode forward, stretched out his hand and tried to take the boy. But after pulling it a few times, it still couldn't be pulled apart.
"Stop pulling, it's getting heavier." Wu Gen looked frustrated. Every time the water pulls out of the moon, the boy's body becomes heavier. Now Wu Gen felt like he was holding a cow, and the weight was still increasing.
"Stop your teeth, it's getting more and more embarrassing." The boy in his hand stared at Wu Gen's mouth and repeated what he just said. Several other people also gathered around and looked at the parroting boy with solemn expressions.
"That's too weird." Qiao Ban stretched out a finger and tried to touch the boy's face. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he said, "Gee, that's too weird." The boy's enunciation was clearer than before. A small hand suddenly grasped Qiao Ban's finger, and the ice quickly extended along the finger to the whole body, and soon covered him. Layer of ice armor. Everyone was in a hurry and quickly helped the bridge team remove the ice from their bodies.
"Good boy, don't make trouble." Wu Gen quickly hugged the boy away. If he delayed it longer, he might turn into a lump of ice. He stared and threatened, "If he makes trouble again, he will be spanked."
The boy chuckled and stretched out his arms to hug Wu Gen tighter.
Boom, boom, boom, at this moment, the sound of biting something sounded in the hall. Following the sound, I saw Baoxiang sitting behind a table, chewing ice cubes on the table and muttering, "This pig's head meat is a bit bland, I need to find a better cook." .”
Several people looked at Baoxiang who was grabbing the ice fruit and ice meat on the table and munching on it, and couldn't help but feel a little creepy. Unknowingly, the person had been tricked. Could it be the boy?
Wu Gen stared fiercely at the boy in his arms, his arms trembling a little. The boy weighed a thousand pounds at this time, "Boy, don't be a monster. Don't think that I won't dare to hit you because you are just a doll. Get rid of the illusion soon." He said that he was going to throw the boy down.
"Wow..." The boy suddenly burst into tears. As he cried, the wind and snow suddenly became stronger. Snowflakes as big as fists flew in from outside the hall, hitting Wu Gen with pain on his face and body.
Feng'er didn't know what she thought of, and her face suddenly turned pale, "Wu Gen, I advise you not to put this young master down. When we were in the door, an old man once told a story. It said that someone encountered snow in the snow-capped mountains. Child, reach out to hug him. If you don't hug him, the snow boy will be furious, stir up the wind and snow in the sky, and bury the person alive in the snow and freeze to death.
If he has picked them up but cannot bear to put them down, the snow boy will also become angry and turn those people into ice sculptures to stay with him forever. At first I thought it was just a ridiculous story, but I didn't expect it to be true. Wu Gen, our lives are in your hands, we must never let go. "
Upon hearing this, everyone present became nervous. If what Feng'er said is true, then today I really encountered an existence that cannot be messed with.
Wu Genha let out a breath of air,
He looked at the laughing boy in his hands and said decisively, "You go first, drag the treasure elephant up with me, I will deal with this snow boy." A few people were still hesitating, Wu Gen's face suddenly changed, "Quickly, this damn thing suddenly It’s a lot heavier, I don’t know how long I can hold on, so I need to leave quickly.”
Seeing Shui Congyue raising the halberd with a fierce look in his eyes, and looking at the boy in his arms, Wu Gen shouted in fright, "Congyue, don't do whatever you want, get them out quickly, and hurry down the mountain after they get out. I There is a way."
"I don't believe how powerful a mere evil creature can be. Don't be frightened by his magic." Shui Congyue was still a little dissatisfied. Wu Gen quickly asked Qi He and Qiao Ban to hold him back. After all, we are fighting on someone else's territory, so what if there are any arrangements?
Several people dragged Yu Zi, who was holding a piece of ice and chewing the treasure elephant, towards the entrance. But before reaching the door, there was a bang, and the palace door was slammed shut, and a thick layer of blue ice sealed the door.
"Get out of the way." Shui stepped forward from Yuezong, and the big halberd hit him hard. It is said that Shui Congyue is also a martial artist in the four realms. With this halberd, even stubborn rocks will be smashed into powder. But the spurge hit the blue ice and bounced high, leaving only a small crater on it.
The ice was so hard that everyone gasped, even Shui Congyue was helpless. Looking at the blue ice that was still thickening, Feng'er became anxious. A wisp of flame appeared on her fingertips, and the flame quickly expanded into a fireball. He stretched his hand forward, and the fireball fell on the solid ice, quickly spread and burned, and the blazing flames forced several people back.
Hiss... What is shocking is that the ice is also thickening rapidly, and finally the red flame is frozen in it. What is the incompatibility of ice and fire? Everyone's eyes were opened today. Looking at the flames solidified in the ice, everyone's hearts became cold. It seemed that the other party was going to leave a few people here.
Wu Gen's eyes became stern and he stared at the boy in his arms, "Boy, don't act for me, I don't care if you are a snow boy or not. You must be merciful and merciful, and let me go quickly. If not, , believe it or not, I will smash you into pieces right now, even if your ancestors come, I dare to take a few bites." As he spoke, his eyes widened, and he slowly lifted the boy up with all his strength. Under the heavy pressure, his legs showed signs of being unable to hold up.
Suddenly, there was light everywhere, and the entire hall made of ice emitted a soft white light, illuminating everything in the hall. The icicle ice table shone brightly, and under the grand scene, the entire hall seemed to be otherworldly.
On the main seat in the palace, a white-haired woman appeared out of thin air. She was the one who took Wu Genling's residence. At this time, the woman's eyes were empty and she was looking at Wu Gen and others indifferently.
