Chapter 258 There is a little girl in the ice sculpture
The magical white mist spreads around this large space, gathering and never dispersing.
In fact, from Lu Jing's point of view, it looked like some kind of protective formation. Without the presence of this white mist, this space would collapse.
The attics of the surrounding palaces were damaged, but the square buildings in the center looked intact.
When Lu Jing and Yuwen Changtian passed by, they discovered that this altar-like building was not a complete crystal ice sculpture.
It appears to be covered with a layer of ice armor on the surface, but in fact you can clearly see that it is made of wood inside.
This shows that the ice layer was formed later.
It must be that after something happened, the entire building or the ice and snow view was frozen.
There are steps leading to the top on all sides.
Ye Taiqing and four others have already climbed up the steps.
Lu Jing and Yuwen Changtian quickened their pace to catch up with them.
"Hmph~"
Ye Taiqing snorted coldly when he saw Lu Jing.
Gu Tianqi nodded.
Perhaps because of his relationship with the Bai family, Gu Tianqi has been kind to Lu Jing so far.
Qin Wen kept a polite distance.
The last ancestor of the Long family was taciturn. Lu Jing still doesn't know his name and has never asked him.
Perhaps because of his lack of words, this ancestor of the Long family would be easily ignored if people didn't pay careful attention to him.
Although among the four major families, except for Ye Taiqing, the other three were not martial arts masters, Lu Jing did not care at all about the other three. They were all old monsters who had lived for over a hundred years. None of these people were simple.
Lu Jing chose to ignore Ye Taiqing directly. He was waiting for an opportunity for Ye Taiqing to let him take action.
After nodding to the other three people, he headed up the steps.
Soon everyone reached the top.
After going up, what they saw surprised them all.
"This is some kind of sacrificial altar~"
"The center is..."
"Like a person."
"It's really~"
"A little girl."
Several people expressed their opinions.
Lu Jing looked and saw that there was indeed an ice sculpture in the center. It seemed to be a little girl of about ten years old.
This is very weird.
It is indeed unusual for an ice sculpture of a little girl to appear in such a place.
First of all, this is the site of Bingxueguan, and it is also a large altar.
"It is said that there are three treasures in the Ice and Snow Temple, the Millennium Ice Sword, the Snow Lotus Pill, and the Ice Art. I wonder if they can still be found."
Long Ming, the ancestor of the Long family, stared at the little ice sculpture girl and said. He rarely spoke, but his eyes were twinkling at this moment.
"Do you believe the legend of Old Man Long?" Qin Wen, the ancestor of the Qin family, couldn't help but laugh.
Long Ming said lightly: "You don't believe it? Are you here too?"
"I~" Qin Wen didn't know how to refute.
At this time, Ye Taiqing said with a smile: "Okay, everyone knows whether there are three treasures in the Ice and Snow Temple. There is nothing to argue about. They are all secrets obtained from the mouths of our ancestors. Ordinary people don't know, but we actually know it in our hearts.
Now that we have finally entered here, whether we can find the three legendary treasures next depends on personal luck."
After Ye Taiqing said this, he paused and continued: "This place does seem to be guarded by some kind of formation. The white mist that gathers and never disperses is proof, and the degree of damage to the surrounding buildings is beyond human control."
It can be caused, which means that the burial of Bingxueguan was caused by a very powerful force.
The only intact thing here is the ice sculpture in front of me. If there is really any treasure, I think it must be related to the little ice sculpture. How about we go forward and check it out at the same time?"
After Ye Taiqing finished speaking, he looked at everyone, including Lu Jing and Yuwen Changtian.
Long Ming was the first to nod: "I agree."
Gu Tianqi thought for a while and then said: "I have no objection."
Then several people looked at Lu Jing and Yuwen Changtian.
Lu Jing secretly cursed the old fox.
I have to say that Ye Taiqing's words are reasonable, but I also guess that this old guy is afraid of any danger.
People become wiser as they age, and they are still not stupid if they can survive to this day.
Moreover, they also know all the secrets that Warehouse 004 knows.
However, he always felt that Ye Taiqing, the old immortal, had some tricks up his sleeve, but he couldn't guess his intentions.
If you don't agree, you will be laughed at by others, and you will feel embarrassed.
Then he said: "Come forward and check it out together, of course we have no objection."
"Then let's go~" Ye Taiqing said.
The six people agreed.
Let's slowly approach the ice sculpture together.
When they were ten meters away, everyone suddenly felt a huge chill coming.
"Something's wrong, the cold here is more than three times that of the Bai Mist Area."
Lu Jing frowned and at the same time activated his inner energy to resist the cold invasion.
Looking at the others, except Ye Taiqing who could still maintain some composure, they were all trembling, especially Yuwen Changtian who was beside him, his face was extremely pale and his whole body was covered with a layer of ice.
"The chill coming from under this altar reaches straight to the sky." Gu Tianqi said in a deep voice.
While they were talking, everyone stopped in unison and no one dared to move forward.
Even they can't resist this kind of chill.
Lu Jing said to Yuwen Changtian: "Get out of the ten-meter range and don't get close to the ice sculpture."
Even if Lu Jing didn't say anything, Yuwen Changtian still had to retreat. In just a moment, he felt that his body was frozen. If he moved forward, he would probably freeze to death.
Gu Tianqi, Qin Wen, and Long Ming also retreated at the same time.
Only Lu Jing and Ye Taiqing were still within ten meters.
At this time, the two looked at each other.
As if competing, Ye Taiqing continued to move towards the ice sculpture.
It's just so slow to take a step forward.
Seeing this, Lu Jing raised the corner of his mouth and also walked towards the ice sculpture.
The chill here is indeed overbearing, but it doesn't bother him.
At this moment, the advantages of the monk's skills were revealed.
The pure and vigorous Qi fills the whole body, resisting the constant intrusion of coldness outside the body.
Lu Jing's speed was much faster than Ye Taiqing's, and he was relatively relaxed.
Soon we arrived at the three-meter-long ice sculpture.
At this time, he could see clearly. Sure enough, there was a little girl wearing ancient clothes inside the ice sculpture. She was a human being.
The closer you get to this little ice sculpture, the stronger the chill becomes.
Three meters behind him was Ye Taiqing. The old guy did have some strength.
Just when Lu Jing was about to come into contact with the little ice sculpture girl, Ye Taiqing's cloudy eyes flashed, but he took out a dagger from his arms.
With a roar, he struck directly at the ice sculpture.
Very fast.
Lu Jing didn't even have time to react.
"Boom~"
Ye Taiqing's dagger pierced the ice sculpture and made a roar.
Then there was a sound like glass breaking.
"Kacha kacha..."
Lu Jing took a look and saw that there were cracks on the ice sculpture.
"Bang..."
The ice sculpture shattered.
Pieces of crystal-like ice cubes fell.
Lu Jing saw the little girl appearing in front of him.
At the same time, a chill that made his heart palpitate erupted from the little girl's body with an extremely chilling meaning.
"Boom~"
Like an invisible wave of air erupting.
Lu Jing's expression changed drastically and he retreated one after another without hesitation.
But he was still affected.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
At this moment, Ye Taiqing behind him smiled ferociously: "Go to hell, kid."
He punched the injured Lu Jing directly on the head.
"Ye Taiqing, how dare you~"
Yuwen Changtian's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward with a roar, but it was too late.
