Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we have left the Cangqiong Gate for three days.
At this moment, Bai Che, Jiu Tu, Liu Yu, Guan Hong, and Zhang Bei were sitting on the big gourd heading towards the extreme north of the wilderness. As for Bai Che's Taoist body, it was taken back to the "Bafang Immortal Mansion".
At this time, Bai Che realized how vast the Great Wilderness was. It turned out that the original sphere of influence of the Hundred Sects of the Great Wilderness was only a corner of the Great Wilderness. To be precise, it was only the eastern region of the Great Wilderness. In the center of the eastern region was the Thunder Sea. .
Now, the place Bai Che wants to go is to the true north of the wilderness. This side is covered with ice and snow all year round, and is a snow-white land. However, the distance is too far.
Under Bai Che's introduction, the three Liu Yu brothers were surprised. This middle-aged man was actually an expert in the realm of gods. He had promised Bai Che to follow him for a year. This shocked Liu Yu and the others even more. Who was their young master? What's the origin?
At the same time, after such a long time, the "blood curse" on his body did not seem to attract Ying Wudi's relatives and friends. This made Bai Che understand that this "blood curse" could only make Ying Wudi's relatives and friends feel it within a certain range. Bai Che Tooru was relieved.
Bai Che was not idle. He sat on the gourd and looked at the "Star Sword Yao" thoughtfully. The sword was thrown out by him at that time, but later when cleaning the battlefield, the disciples picked it up and handed it over again. It was given to Bai Che. Bai Che saw that he was destined to it, so he kept it with him as a self-defense weapon.
"Eh...this sword..." The drunkard's eyes moved slightly when he saw the sword in Bai Che's hand.
"Mr. Jiu, do you know this sword?" Bai Che looked up at the drunkard.
The drunkard frowned slightly and said, "I have seen a sword similar to it."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Bai Che became interested. He had long guessed that this "Star Sword Yao" must not be a complete sword. Perhaps, there are several others to form a complete Star Sword, but he Not sure, "I'd like to hear the details." Bai Che smiled.
The drunkard nodded and said: "In my early years, when I was a guest of the Zhibei family, I once met several people at a banquet. The swords in their hands were swords similar to the sword in your hand."
"Probably... I remember there were five handles." The drunkard thought for a moment and continued: "However, the position of the stars on the sword clearly shows that this sword definitely has more than five handles."
After a pause, the drunkard continued: "According to my guess, the sword must have seven handles and can be integrated into one. By then, this sword will be comparable to a top-grade artifact."
"Top-grade artifact?" Hearing this, Bai Che was startled, swallowed, and continued: "Mr. Jiu, do you know whose hands these swords were at that time?"
"You have asked the right person about this." The drunkard smiled, "Because I felt that these swords were sharp and sharp, and I was more interested, so I made a special investigation to find out whether the owners of these swords were from the southern region. There is a first-class family, I remember the Sun family, the Wu family, the Lu family, the Zhang family and the Lu family...these families are closely related, and their power is no less than that of the three major aristocratic families."
Bai Che nodded and then asked, "What about the other two families? If we look at the position of the stars, there should be seven swords, then they should correspond to seven families, so..."
"I understand." The drunkard nodded, "However, I only found these families. As for the others, I don't know. Well, a strange thing happened at that time."
"Something strange?" Bai Che was slightly startled.
"That's right." The drunkard nodded, "On the second day of the banquet, the Lu family, the Zhang family, and the Lu family were all wiped out. One day later, the Sun family and the Wu family also announced their retirement. Then, there was a second-rate force... The Zhou family moved away from the Southern Territory on the seventh day and disappeared."
"Zhou family!?" Hearing this, Bai Che's eyes moved. The "Star Sword Yao" in his hand was taken from the Holy Son of the Star Reaching Sect, and that Holy Son's surname was Zhou.
Moreover, Zhou Xian told Bai Che at that time that "Star Sword Yao" is one of the famous swords handed down from the world in the Star Sect. So, there are other famous swords handed down in the Star Sect. Could it be the other star swords? But when the Cangqiong Sect disciples went to check the Star Picking Sect, they didn't find any other swords.
Perhaps Liu Kou would know something, but Liu Kou had already escaped and is missing.
"The remaining families were exterminated and retired, and the Zhou family moved away..."
"Is there any connection between these?"
"The Star Reaching Sect has not been established for a long time, but it possesses the Star Sword. This makes people doubt the relationship between the Star Reaching Sect and the Zhou family, or in other words, the Star Reaching Sect was originally established by the Zhou family. Since then, the Zhou family has It makes sense that Xian is not too strong but can be the Holy Son."
"That bitch Liu Kou must know. Damn it, if I had known, I would have dug him out even if I had dug three feet into the ground..."
With his thoughts at this point, Bai Che frowned. He felt that he seemed to have fallen into another troublesome matter.
Regarding the Star Sword matter, perhaps the clock started ticking when Zi Baiche killed Zhou Xian.
...
A few days later, the temperature became colder and colder, snowflakes gradually drifted in the sky, and the tops of the mountain peaks, treetops and dead grass gradually turned white.
Liu Yu took out the cold-proof clothes that he had prepared and distributed them to Bai Che and Jiu Du, and said: "Young Master, Mr. Jiu, it is very cold in the north. You must pay attention to keep warm, otherwise, you will be prone to frostbite. Over the years, many people come to the north from other places. People who froze to death.”
"At the same time, there is a kind of raptor in the northern sea, the ice crystal owl. They live in groups and are extremely ferocious. Wearing this clothing can hide your breath." Liu Yu added.
"Thank you." The drunkard took the clothes and put them on.
Bai Che also nodded and put on the clothes handed over by Liu Yu.
After changing their clothes, the group of people were immediately wrapped in thick fur, giving them a bit of a wild air. Of course, the most important thing was that they felt a lot warmer.
...
Continuing to go north, half a month passed, and the snow became heavier and heavier, falling like goose feathers. The ground was covered with white snow. The withered grass, rocks, and mountains in the distance had long been covered with snow, making it look like a snow country.
The temperature is extremely cold, the wind is strong and howling, and the environment is very harsh. There are almost no animal or human footprints on the ground. The occasional animals looking for food are also some unique species with thick fur.
Giant trees are struggling to take root here, with strands of ice hanging on their branches, like hard long swords, emitting a cold light.
On the way, Bai Che and others encountered ice crystal owls. They saw this group of ice crystal owls preying on a mammoth. Under the crazy offensive of the ice crystal owls, the tens of tons of woolly mammoths were killed by ice crystals before they could even hold on for ten breaths. The owl was torn apart, leaving only the skeleton and a pool of bright red...
Only now did Bai Che and Drunkard understand the terrifying nature of this ice crystal owl. However, fortunately, their breath was blocked by warm clothes, and they were able to leave safely.
Liu Yu told Bai Che that once they reached the boundary of the "Snow Kingdom", they could reach Shuofeng Village by continuing to go north for a few months. This made Bai Che and the drunkard a little collapsed. Shuofeng Village was too far away.
Bai Che wondered, how did Liu Yu and the others leave Shuofeng Village and this "snow country"?
Liu Yu replied that they left in late spring and early summer. The wind and snow at that time were not strong, they could move forward at full strength, and the flying magic weapon would not be affected. Therefore, they successfully left in two and a half months.
Originally, the best time to go to Shuofeng Village was in late spring and early summer, but since the start of the trial was approaching, we had no choice but to set out in late autumn.
Gradually, the wind and snow became stronger and stronger, and it became difficult to control the gourd. As a last resort, a few people began to walk forward. As a result, there was a row of deep footprints on the vast snow, but they were soon covered again by new snow. , everything remains the same.
Between heaven and earth, apart from the whistling of the wind, there was almost no other sound, and everything seemed completely silent.
Even though Bai Che, as a child from the south, had never seen snow, after this incident, he never wanted to see snow again.
Night gradually came, and Bai Che and the others rested for a while under a seemingly dead tree. After walking for a day, their strength had long been exhausted. The wind was blowing endlessly and the snow kept drifting.
In the leeward place, a weak firelight danced, and the red firelight made the cold-red faces of several people even redder. Above the firelight, there were several snow rabbits, and Bai Che and the others needed to replenish their strength.
The drunkard took out a wine bottle and drank with Bai Che and Liu Yu to keep their bodies warmer.
Late at night, when the wind subsided and the snow stopped, Bai Che was woken up by a pee. After he solved the problem, he leaned against the big tree and looked at the sky.
This was a cold night scene. Without the howling wind, Bai Che seemed to be able to hear the sound of ice cracking deep in the entire frozen earth's crust.
Deep in the night, the moon cannot be seen, but it is filled with stars, which is surprising.
The stars shone brightly, they seemed to sink slowly at an illusory speed, and the light shone so brightly that the snow shimmered.
The stars moved closer to the eyes, pushing the cold night sky further and further away, and the night became darker and darker.
Gradually, the surrounding snow was no longer clearly visible, and the outline of the mountains in the distance became increasingly unclear. They appeared darker and grayer, hanging heavily on the edge of the starry sky.
Everything is cold and silent.
...
Just as Bai Che was leaning against the tree trunk and falling asleep, suddenly, Bai Che saw a dazzling blue light beam emitting from the mountains in the distance, shooting straight into the sky, which stunned Bai Che.
The light soars into the sky, either the precious medicine is mature or the important treasure is born. Hesitation will lead to defeat. Bai Che immediately wakes up the drunkard, Liu Yu and others.
Drunkard, Liu Yu and others couldn't help but be startled when they saw the blue light beam reaching into the sky. They were thinking about the pros and cons and whether there would be any danger if they went there.
But Bai Che said that if he missed it, he might miss the opportunity, and that he was just going to see if he could pick it up, and he would not force it.
There was no other way, so Drunkard, Liu Yu and the others had no choice but to accompany Bai Che.
Of course, not everyone will think about the pros and cons. For example, Zhang Bei, an old boy, raised his hands in approval when he heard that he was going.
...
Looking at the mountains, the mountains emitting blue light beams may not seem too far away, but in fact, they are thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers away. Fortunately, at this time, the snow has stopped and the wind has stopped, so you can control the flying magic weapon.
However, after flying for nearly a day, it was already late at night on the second day when we arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
