Chapter 171: Frozen Stream
The rusty mountains in the south are just a little cold, and the Duanliu City in the north is already covered with silver. When the cold wind blows, the broken snow sweeps across the ground like wild sand.
There is no broken city tower here. Mu Xingqiu guessed that the memories in the inner alchemy must come from here. The whole city looks very new and complete. He escaped the Five Elements Tribulation more than two years ago, but there were no residents in this lucky city because it was completely frozen.
The ice and snow, which is as thick as six or seven feet, wrapped Duanliu City tightly, without any gap. Standing at the West City Gate and kicking hard, you can slide all the way to the opposite East City Gate.
Three visitors floated in the air and looked down at the city.
"We are in the wrong place, right? Is this really Duanliu City?" Yin Buchen asked in surprise.
Qin Lingshuang nodded. This was not the Duanliu City she remembered, but the location would never be wrong. She even saw the lake on the edge of the city caused by the broken pill, which was now occupied by ice and snow, level with the ground.
"That's because we came too early. Now there are still eight or nine months before the Nascent Soul Conference." Yin Buchen shook his head with a smile, "Zuo Liuying really knows how to choose a place. Isn't 'Duo Liucheng' just stop him? Haha, it's interesting. It's a sign of good luck to us. Are these ice magic spells? Maybe Zuo Liuying and his minions are hiding under the ice to eat delicious food and drink spicy food and jokes."
Yin Buchen rubbed his stomach. He had only had two meals in nearly half a month, and he was still half full.
Mu Xingqiu also has to eat and drink, only Qin Lingshuang doesn’t need it. The true illusion body is not as good as the fireworks of the world. It only needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every once in a while. These spiritual energy are not used to sharpen the inner alchemy, but to soak the flesh and bones of the whole body.
Qin Lingshuang fell on Xizhao Lake, casting spells to remove a piece of snow, revealing the ice surface. The ice here is very pure, and you can see frozen fish and shrimps several feet below. If you are deeper, you will need to use Tianmu.
"Let's stay here and try to remove the influence of the Demon Lord's Dharma."
Mu Xingqiu nodded in agreement, and Yin Buchen even cheered. This is the purpose of his follower.
"I'll go to the city to take a look, maybe I can find Zuo Liuying's nest." Yin Buchen knew how to act according to the opportunity. Every time he stopped to rest, he would make excuses to leave. Let Mu Xingqiu and Qin Lingshuang get along alone.
Yin Buchen jumped into the city and disappeared quickly. Qin Lingshuang summoned the big mirror of light to use it to create a residence on the ice. Mu Xingqiu couldn't help. He wandered around nearby.
He had heard of some past events in Duanliu City and knew that it had a great relationship with him. He had fought with the demon clan here and won the title of "General Mu". However, what he saw and heard at this moment made him wonder how meaningful the battle was. It was like the fire of two groups of ants. As a result, the war had just ended and a flood that destroyed everything.
Where are the humans protected by General Mu?
He walked to the city wall and looked up and saw a few lines of words engraved on the ice, which were not very clear: Mu Donger and the Haier Army came and left. Zuo Liuying and Kun Dun had the courage to come out and fight us.
Mu Xingqiu smiled slightly, took out the Patriarch's Tower, turned around, and stood in the wind. After a while, he felt like he was writing, and wrote down three talismans with three poking and three pauses in the Patriarch's Tower.
A talisman was gone with the wind, and a talisman was walking against the wind. A talisman was hovering in the sky.
Qin Lingshuang walked from the lake and had built two strange houses with magic behind her. They were two elliptical mirrors seven feet high, standing side by side. The mirror was extremely smooth, but no scenery was reflected, like two portals. Those who were allowed could indeed step in. There were two typical practice rooms.
This is the room of Qin Lingshuang and Mu Xingqiu. Yin Buchen can cast magic to build a house by himself.
Qin Lingshuang asked from a distance: "Why do you look at me with this kind of gaze? It seems that you don't know me anymore."
"It's rare to see you walk."
Qin Lingshuang always flies around. Occasionally, he will walk back and forth a few steps when he lands. This time he walks from a mile away, which is the longest walk.
She turned around and looked at it. There were only Mu Xingqiu's footprints on the white snow, but not hers. She consciously increased her strength, and only shallow footprints appeared on the road next.
"Are you looking for a strange beast?" Qin Lingshuang recognized the talisman written by Mu Xingqiu in the wind.
"Well, I want Yin Buchen to tame a strange beast as soon as possible so as to contact Mu Dong'er and the others." Mu Xingqiu pointed to the few lines of words on the ice wall.
"You can't do this when you are the naughty, and the demon soul begins to take effect in Mu Dong'er's body." Qin Lingshuang stopped, her cheeks were slightly red by the cold wind, like a layer of light rouge. "Your talisman technique is becoming more and more unique, and you can actually write talismans in the wind."
"I thought this was a very ordinary spell."
"It's not ordinary at all. The five elements magic can indeed use the power of nature, but the talisman..." Qin Lingshuang smiled slightly, "You should maintain this state, maybe this is Zuo Liuying's purpose."
Mu Xingqiu was about to talk about his views on Zuo Liuying and Duanliu City, but suddenly heard a scream from the city, trembling and trembling. It must be Yin Buchen's voice.
Mu Xingqiu and Qin Lingshuang had a strong sense of spells. They could not detect signs of spells in the frozen city before, so they did not go in to check. Unexpectedly, Yin Buchen encountered an accident.
Qin Lingshuang raised her hand and wiped it in the air. The city walls in front of her became transparent, and the two of them could directly see Yin Buchen.
Yin Buchen sat in the kitchen of a family, with many broken ice cubes scattered in front of him and a piece of dough that had been stored for unknown lengths. He obviously encountered a strange thing while seeking food.
Yin Buchen blinked his eyes twice quickly, felt Qin Lingshuang's spell through the crystal eyes, and pointed to the stove pit in front of him, "What's in?"
If you can scare a demon and sit on the ground, it shouldn't be an animal like snake or rat, but it's hard to say if you put it on Yin Buchen.
"You stay and I'll go and have a look."
Qin Lingshuang nodded clearly, Mu Xingqiu ran to the city gate, slid into the city with a slight force under his feet.
After turning a few times, Mu Xingqiu found Yin Buchen. He had already stood up and was holding the dough and sniffing it carefully. When he saw Mu Xingqiu, he smiled and said, "It's not broken, the freezing here must have suddenly come."
"What the hell is it?"
"The noodles I just kneaded can be eaten with fire... Oh, Dao Zun means that thing, it seems to be a monkey, not big, three feet tall, quite thin, with scary eyes. Dao Zun. Don't laugh at me, those two eyes are indeed weird, especially when they are flashing in the stove pit."
"Is it a demon?"
"No, I can recognize the demon clan... it's a little bit of demonic energy. But it's not a demon, I'm sure."
"A strange beast?"
"Well..." Yin Buchen seemed very confused.
There was no wind, spells or obvious emotions in the room, and the air was almost stagnant and could not be used to write talismans. Mu Xingqiu summoned a real talisman paper from the treasure trove. He gently tapped the Patriarch Tower on it, and with this point as the center, the light red pattern quickly spread around, and an instant formed a complete talisman, like words and pictures, like clouds and clouds, like mountains and ridges.
"The Taoist Master is really amazing. I think you didn't know how to talismans were at that time. How long did it take to become a talisman in just one time? Those talisman masters have never had such ability in their entire lives." Yin Buchen took the opportunity to flatter him, "But how did you sacrifice talismans? I heard that higher talisman masters have the Fire Sacrifice Seal on their backs, but Taoist masters cannot have it because it will damage the inner alchemy."
Mu Xingqiu rolled up the sleeve of his right hand and put a yellow copper ring above his elbow. There was a circle of fiery red lines flashing in the middle.
"It turns out that the Taoist Lord wrote the Fire God Seal on his magic weapon. It's a clever trick, but ordinary Taoist priests can't do this, right? Haha, I know that the Taoist Lord's magic is absolutely unusual." Yin Buchen tried hard to flatter. But his thousands of words were not as good as the encouraging look of some people.
Mu Xingqiu sacrificed the paper talisman in his hand, and a stream of blue smoke fell from his hand, quickly extended it, and drilled into the stove pit.
"Catch the monkey!" Yin Buchen said excitedly. He still held the dough that was hard like a stone in his hands. "Torture it, no, roast it on fire and eat it, no, it has too little meat. Stew it! There is nothing short of it here, throw ice into the pot..."
There was indeed a hole in the stove pit. Qingyan moved forward very quickly. Yin Buchen was still nagging. Mu Xingqiu had already noticed that Qingyan had entangled the living creature at the other end, and immediately retracted the spell. He could only hear the sound of ping-pong underground. Yin Buchen was so excited that he rubbed his hands.
Not long after, Qingyan retracted from the stove pit, and a strange animal wrapped around the end, screaming and scrambling, trying to break free from the constraints.
It is indeed like a monkey, with hair all over the body, sharp mouth but cheeks but no tail. It stands like a human, less than three feet tall and big eyes, but it is not as terrible as Yin Buchen. On the contrary, it is a bit pitiful.
"What is this? A child abandoned by humans?" Yin Buchen asked in confusion, and his eyes lit up suddenly, "I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time... No, I quit. Since I followed the Taoist Lord, I have quit human flesh. Really, I just miss it occasionally."
Qin Lingshuang's voice came from the air, "This should be the changing monkey. It is said that it is the first demon. Judging from his current appearance, it is not far from the real demon transformation. It may be left by Zuo Liuying."
Mu Xingqiu once saw a large number of monkeys underground in the Ice City, and even fought and killed many. These memories are now in Qin Lingshuang.
"Transforming demons? This guy is worthy of being a demon clan? Even being a beast monster is not qualified." Yin Buchen said disgustedly.
"Can the ground monkey be used as a strange beast?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"You can try it." Qin Lingshuang's voice disappeared.
Yin Buchen blinked again and squeezed a smile on his face, "Dao Zun, what do you mean by this sentence?"
"You are a beastmaster and need a strange beast."
Yin Buchen's face suddenly became extremely distressed, "Dao Zun, don't, the strange beasts tamed by the beast master have their origins. My previous strange beast is one of the only three Xuanwu in the world. This monkey... the silly lion in Fuhuang City is also stronger than it."
The monkeys were grinning at them in turn, without any majesty.
"I need you to contact Mu Donger and the others as soon as possible."
"Okay." Yin Buchen reluctantly agreed, but he had to agree, but he could just play tricks in front of Dao Zun.
Yin Buchen cast his magic for a while and said softly: "Let it go, Dao Zun."
Qingyan disappeared, the monkey turned around and rushed towards the stove pit, took only one step and stopped, slowly turned around to face Yin Buchen, with a dazed look.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yin Buchen took back the Lingxi Technique and sighed, "When Feixiao abandoned me, I vowed to find a strange beast that was stronger than it, alas."
The monkey walked to Yin Buchen, looked up timidly at him, and reached out to touch him but didn't dare.
"If you use it, just use it once, and then get out of here." Yin Buchen picked up the monkey with one hand and began to contact other beast masters.
This time took longer, and Yin Buchen murmured, "No, this is not, there is no direction, it's really hard to find... Feixiao is ungrateful, but he has also received retribution. Mu Dong'er doesn't take it seriously at all..."
Yin Buchen put down the monkey and said in a slight horror: "Kun, Kun... Master, I contacted Master!"
