In the early morning, a ray of golden sunlight shines into the temple. The light passed through the ice and continued to refract, making the palace suddenly become brighter. Wu Gen and others were discussing how to get out of here while gnawing on the snow rabbit cooked by the holly bird.
The door of the main hall suddenly opened, and the figure of the woman yesterday appeared at the door. The morning light was faint, and the rays lingered on his fat skin, covering his long white hair with a layer of brilliant color. The woman walks slowly, her sleeves are fluttering in the wind, and her hair is flying. She looks like she has emerged from the dust of ice and snow, as bright and pure as a blooming epiphyllum.
Everyone looked in a daze, and only stood up when the woman came in front of them. Wu Gen looked at his wrist and saw that there was no red rope attached to it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and took the lead to greet him.
"This girl..." Wu Gen was about to speak, but the woman interrupted her and said softly: "Outlander, come with me." After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the palace.
Wu Gen looked back, quickly dropped the rabbit legs in his hands, and followed him.
After leaving the main hall, the woman walked along a narrow staircase towards the mountain step by step. The other five people followed carefully behind them, stepping on the smooth ice steps. On their sides were either bottomless canyons or cliffs covered with cones of ice. If you make one wrong move, you will be like snowflakes occasionally picked up by the wind, drifting and disappearing between heaven and earth.
The woman's walking speed was not very fast, and she seemed to take care of everyone's pace. Passing by houses made of ice, passing tall nine-story blue icicles, walking in a white world, time and space seem a bit chaotic. Wu Gen had the illusion that if there were not those tall igloos and icicles for reference, he would really think that the group was walking in place.
While walking on the road, Wu Gen spoke several times, but the woman ignored him and seemed to be in a bad mood. Everyone knew what he was doing and didn't say anything anymore, just silently followed him and climbed up.
The woman finally stopped. There was no snow in front of her, only blue ice covering the mountain peaks. Two huge glaciers guard the entrance of a canyon like two gates.
When she reached the entrance, the woman turned around and walked lightly to Wu Gen. Looking at the woman's eyes like an ice lake, Wu Gen felt a little flustered for no reason. The woman lowered her head and glanced at the red rope on Wu Gen's wrist, frowned slightly, and stretched out a slender finger. The fingers moved forward slowly, reaching towards Wu Gen's eyebrows.
For a moment, everyone's eyes followed the woman's fingers. The finger reached an inch between Wu Gen's eyebrows and stopped, motionless.
At the mouth of the canyon, no one dared to ask. There was only the low whistle of the wind blowing through the canyon, and the rustle of clothes that could not be disturbed by the wind.
Gudong, the sound of Baoxiang swallowing saliva came from the silence, interrupting the tranquility here at an inappropriate time. The woman was awakened, her empty eyes filled with light again, her fingers gently touched Wu Gen's eyebrows, and a trace of black air came out of her forehead and wrapped around the woman's fingers.
Looking at the black air with some hatred, a little white light lit up at the woman's finger. Under the illumination of white light, the black air melted like snow meeting the scorching sun, and finally disappeared.
Wu Gen looked at the woman with some surprise. Of course he was familiar with this black energy, it was the chaotic form in his soul. But I had already used very strong methods to eliminate it, but I didn't expect that there was still chaos lurking in it.
"Xuetong said there is something dirty on your body. The front is the place where those who have returned to their true nature should not allow such evil spirits to enter." The woman spoke softly and gave a rare explanation. Without waiting for Wu Gen to thank her, she turned around and walked into the canyon.
Wu Gen hurriedly followed, finally feeling relieved. The woman's actions at least showed that she had no malicious intent.
As soon as he entered the canyon, Wu Gen's heart beat wildly again. He couldn't help but take two steps back, and bumped into Shui Congyue who looked shocked. On the blue ice walls on both sides of the canyon, rows of people stood impressively.
These people lowered their heads and closed their eyes, layer upon layer, all facing the same direction, like devout believers praying devoutly. On the top of everyone's head, there is a white flower in full bloom. The flower has three petals and emits a blue light under the reflection of the surrounding ice walls. All the way forward, the ice wall is full of people like this, arranged from the bottom to the top of the ice wall.
The woman didn't look sideways and continued to move forward slowly. Wu Gen and others had no choice but to suppress the fear in their hearts and follow him forward.
Walking under the ice wall,
Looking at the countless people around them, the heavy oppression made the six of them feel like they were walking on the bottom of the sea, and their breathing was not smooth. Even though he had experienced many lives and deaths and had seen even weirder scenes, seeing so many people dying in the ice with his own eyes still made his heart palpitate.
The woman in white and the frozen corpse on the ice wall, one blue and one white, this strong contrast made the six people look at the woman more complicated.
After walking for about an hour, the sky was getting dark, and the dim light coming from the ice walls on both sides made everything in the canyon seem unreal. Walking in this blue valley, you can't help but feel like you have entered the underworld.
Finally, the woman stopped and slowly turned around. Behind him, on the high stone platform, there is a bird's nest more than ten feet in size, like a brain with bones removed, with wrinkles on its surface, and light flashes in the ravines from time to time.
Above the bird's nest, there are white flames jumping. The flame is so cold that no one can feel any warmth. Looking at the strange bird's nest, the six of them had a trance-like feeling, as if they themselves had turned into a trace of flame and wanted to dance with it.
Wu Gen bit his lip, and the hair on his body stood up. This scene was very similar to the scene in Yushi Mountain, except that this spiritual residence was much larger. No, can the water Congyue and the others be able to live in such a large spiritual residence?
Turning around in horror, he found that Shui Congyue and others had dull expressions on their faces, staring at the flame in the center of the spirit. "Leave quickly." Wu Gen stepped forward anxiously, pushing the few people who were standing there blankly, but received no response. Even the holly bird seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, standing motionless in place.
"Are you here to follow them?" A woman's voice came from behind. Wu Gen turned his head and followed the woman's fingers to look at the ice wall. There was no one around except the frozen corpses without speech.
"No." Wu Gen replied decisively, not wanting to have anything to do with these frozen corpses.
"Oh, I thought you were their descendant, following the footsteps of your predecessors and coming here to gain eternal life." The woman responded indifferently, as if she didn't care about the outcome, and just stared at Wu Gen's wrist.
"I, I can give this back to you." Wu Gen quickly raised his wrist, "Although I don't know what it is, it feels quite precious."
The woman's brows slowly wrinkled, her eyes became cold, and her long white hair flew wildly without any wind.
"I was wrong." Wu Gen clasped his hands together and quickly begged for mercy, although he didn't know where he was wrong.
Nonsense, although the other party didn't speak, he was obviously angry. Facing a cold woman, a woman who can control her own life and death, what's wrong with admitting her mistake? Even if the other party is also at fault, as long as she doesn't admit it, it is naturally her own fault.
The woman sighed, turned to Lingju, and stopped talking to Wu Gen.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wu Gen probed his head and quietly looked at the woman's expression. After waiting for a moment, looking at the woman who looked like a stone sculpture, and worrying about Shui Congyue and others, Wu Gen still mustered up the courage to speak: "Speaking of which, I don't know how to call this girl yet. My name is Wu Gen. They They are all my teammates."
The woman didn't look back and waited for a moment before saying, "My name is Wu Yi."
"Ahem." Wu Gen became more courageous. As long as the other party was willing to answer, there would be a solution. "Girl Witch, where is this place? Why do you say these people are here for eternal life."
"This is the place where those who have returned to their true nature live." The woman glanced at Wu Gen, hesitated and then explained: "These people are devotees. They voluntarily dedicated their souls to the spiritual residence. With the blessing of the spiritual residence, their souls will live forever. Don’t worry about your body and soul dying. Some people are just from Beizhou and have never left since then.”...
The woman spoke briefly, but Wu Gen also heard that some of the people who died in the ice wall came from Beizhou, and maybe they were the people in the cave in Yushi Mountain. But according to Wu Yi's words, it can't be said that he is dead, does his soul still exist? It's just that I gave up this body and entered the spiritual abode. The spiritual residence can nourish the spiritual body, and the soul will naturally survive for a long time.
Suddenly hearing this strange thing, Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little confused. The soul is immortal, but now that he has lost his body and is like a lonely ghost, what is the meaning of such eternal life. Moreover, what is the relationship between Wu Yi, who claims to be a returnee, and these souls that live forever in the spiritual home in front of him?
He was about to ask, but when he saw Wu Yi's cold face, he had to turn around and ask: "This is obviously a place of nobility, why is Miss Wu willing to let a few of us outsiders come here."
Wu Yi pondered for a while, then said calmly, "A few days ago, Lingju speculated that our clan's opportunity had arrived, and sent me out to look for it. Lingju once said that those who can relieve their worries are where the opportunity lies, but they don't want to accept it. On your body."
"Opportunity?" Wu Gen was a little confused after hearing this. What kind of virtues and talents could he be taken so seriously by those who returned to the truth? Moreover, it was speculated by a spiritual dweller, which sounded a bit incredible. "I don't know where this idea of chance comes from, and what is the concern? What."
"I don't know what the chance is, but at the moment I can only think that it may be a soul song." Wu Yi was also a little confused, "All those who have returned to their true form are from the spiritual abode, and there are many souls of devotees in the spiritual abode. The importance of the soul song is self-evident." At this point, Wu Yi paused, with a strange expression on his face, and pointed to Wu Gen's wrist, "This is the Qian Nian."
This red rope is called Qian Nian. Sure enough, I am the chosen one. While feeling proud, Wu Gen secretly thought to himself that it turned out that the other party was coveting his own soul music. Since he wanted something, it would be easy to talk about it. He rubbed his chin and said confidently, "Well, I know some soul music. I'm just good at it." However, practicing soul music is not easy. It requires both talent and hard work. If the witch girl is willing to learn, I can teach you, but it may take a longer time."
Wu Gen also learned his lesson this time. Since people already knew about Soul Song, he might as well take the opportunity to negotiate some terms. Otherwise, what if the other party, like the Ming clan, uses some means to force themselves, the soul villain has disintegrated, and this returnee accidentally makes a mistake and extinguishes his own soul fire.
"I already know the soul song, there is no need to teach it anymore." Wu Yi remained calm and sat down, "My clan already has the soul song. When you released your thoughts yesterday, you just took the opportunity to compare with your understanding. After a while."
"Oh." Wu Gen was speechless. Others had already learned how to do it, so he was still showing off. He couldn't help but said: "Since the girl has already learned how to do it, why did you bring us here?"
Wu Yi looked at Lingju with a confused expression and said quietly: "Did you know that there are actually three types of soul music, namely Yu Jing Qu, Yi Ling Qu and Qi Guang Qu. What you know is just Yu Jing Qu. Our clan has already deduced some of Yi Ling Qu, but we are still far away from completely deducing it. As for Qi Guang Qu, I have only heard of its name, but no one has ever seen it.
The opportunity we want is not now, but in the future. If one day you can understand the other two soul songs, please teach them to our clan. Of course, before that, if you have any requests, our clan will try our best to satisfy you and help you to reach higher levels in your soul path. "
