The Qiu brothers were sitting in their cave, each holding ice cubes in their hands, applying it to the bruised and swollen wounds on their faces from time to time, grinning with bitter expressions.
Seeing Wu Sheng's arrival, the two brothers immediately gathered around and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wu, are you ready to leave?"
Wu Sheng said: "Don't worry, it's not dark yet. I'll come over to see how you are preparing."
Fatty Qiu said: "The ice pick is enough."
Fatty Qiu came up and said, "The ice bucket has also been made."
Of course, the things would not be in their ice cave. The two brothers immediately took Wu Sheng out and walked along the cliff to the place where they last met. Not long after, they came to the end.
Fatty Qiu stood under the ice wall at a corner and pointed upward. Above their heads, ice picks stuck to the ice wall one by one, blending in with the surrounding environment. At first glance, they thought they were naturally formed, but in fact
They have worked hard over the past few days to grind them. There are hundreds of them, and they can be used directly after breaking them off.
Qiu Shouzi came to a dark corner, dug out an ice bucket from the ground, and showed it to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng frowned and asked: "Are you sure this thing can be used? Will the water turn into ice if it goes in?"
Fatty Qiu said: "As long as you are fast enough, you will be in time. No one lives in the ice cave nearest here, so you can get water from the hot spring pool there."
Wu Sheng followed them to the ice cave less than thirty feet away. He filled up the hot water and tried it. Sure enough, he was able to keep half a cup of tea from freezing. But looking at the high cliff top above, he still felt a bit dazed.
, but the Qiu brothers had an experience of escaping once. They insisted that as long as they ran fast enough and climbed the ice ladder fast enough, they could reach the top of the cliff. This is why they said they had to recruit at least five people to relay the relay -
—The four of us failed last time, still twenty feet away from the top of the cliff.
After the test, although Wu Sheng felt that it was not very reliable, he let them go and just said: "We are going to escape tonight. You two brothers should give me a clear and reliable answer now. How on earth are you going to cross the ice field?"
The Qiu brothers looked at each other for a moment and remained silent.
Wu Sheng opened up his words: "People of the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly. I heard that you and the Yin brothers made an appointment to leave together, but it didn't work out. Yin Changshou died because of your brothers, and his body is mine."
He was buried yesterday, his eyes were wide open and he was full of unwillingness... Wu was also afraid, worried that something would happen to your brother when the time came, and he was very hesitant. If you want to follow me, you have to show me
There is a good reason why I must take you away, otherwise Wu will be unable to help."
Speaking of this, the two brothers had nothing to do. Fatty Qiu said: "We brothers are indeed wrong about the Yin brothers, but instead of the four of them dying together, it would be better for someone to come out and take the responsibility. If the situation at that time were replaced by Wu Daoyou,
, what would Fellow Daoist Wu choose?"
Seeing that Wu Sheng was silent, Fatty Qiu said again: "I am not saying this to shirk my brother's fault, but who in this frozen gorge is not like this? When it comes to the ability to walk out of the ice field, I will tell you the truth, my brother is extremely talented.
, it cultivates the five internal organs, especially the earth internal organs, and has become a storage device...Brother, let Wu Daoyou know our methods!"
Qiu Shouzi let out a long belch and spit out something from his mouth. It fell on the snow, but it was a piece of dried meat. The dried meat brought saliva from his mouth. After the saliva fell to the ground, it quickly formed ice flowers and stuck to the ice.
Qiu Shouzi stretched out his hand and broke it off, picked it up and handed it to Wu Sheng for inspection.
The earth organ is the stomach, and what the two brothers meant was to cultivate the stomach into something similar to a storage instrument, which can store items.
Wu Sheng didn't know what to say. He carefully held the meat with two fingers and looked at it while suppressing the discomfort. The meat was actually well preserved and showed no signs of being digested!
Fatty Qiu said: "Fellow Daoist Wu, you can try it."
Wu Sheng suddenly felt nauseated and shook his head.
Fatty Qiu said: "If you want to walk across the ice field and recover your true energy, you have to walk a hundred miles away. In this violent storm, you have to stay for at least three to five days, and at most for ten and a half months. If you want to avoid
When hunting Kaiyin Lingluo, it is best to dig a deep hole and hide for a month. In any case, under the cold weather, you cannot go out without preparation. My brothers have stored a lot of food, and this piece of deer breast was bought from yesterday.
I got it from Feng San. I reserve it for use, like this..."
As he spoke, he vomited several times, vomiting out a ball of paste-like stuff. He opened it layer by layer, only to find several dirty and wet gauze blankets.
Seeing that he wanted to vomit something else, Wu Sheng couldn't bear to watch it, so he stopped him immediately: "Okay, okay, I'll take you with me."
The Qiu brothers swallowed the spit out again and urged Wu Sheng: "When is tonight?"
Wu Sheng asked: "Can you tell the time at the bottom of this gorge?"
Naturally, the two brothers couldn't tell the time, so they said: "After dark, we will wait here."
Wu Sheng said: "You can start sticking the ice picks after dark. Don't wait. It's better to start work earlier."
On the way back, Wu Sheng was invited to Long Er's place. Wu Sheng asked him: "Brother Long Er, do you have any other rules to explain?"
Long Er said: "Xuan Mingzi has resigned from the Lord, what about you?"
Wu Sheng said: "Second Brother Long, I understand the situation. You don't have to arrange for someone to sleep with you every night, right?"
Long Er said: "But today is already your fourth day here. Is yours the spiritual mountain or the barrier? Can you still hold on? The Lord has promised to separate the immortal products for Xuan Mingzi tomorrow.
It’s okay if his spiritual mountain is melted by the ice sheet, but what about you?”
Wu Sheng said: "I want to think about it again."
Long Er asked: "When will you consider it?"
Wu Sheng said: "I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Long Er said: "My Lord, casting spells also requires time to prepare. If I arrange to go to bed tomorrow and separate the immortal godhead for you, it will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Can your spiritual mountain or barrier last until the day after tomorrow?"
Wu Sheng said: "It should be possible."
Long Er nodded slowly: "Then let's wait until tomorrow."
Returning to his ice cave, Wu Sheng found that Feng San's gang of gangsters had come again and were staying inside. Wanbao often sat on the edge of the hot spring pool in fear, blocking the pool with his body to avoid exposing his flaws. As for Xuan Mingzi
, no need to ask, at this moment, it is naturally making holes underneath.
Wu Sheng quickly led them away: "Is Feng San looking for me? Come on, I'll go with you."
This gang of gangsters surrounded Wu Sheng and came to Feng San's ice cave. Feng San leaned forward like a weak willow and stretched out his fingers to poke Wu Sheng's chest out of habit: "Wu Daoyou, it's so hard for the third brother to wait. Why?"
?Have you considered it?"
Wu Sheng said: "Feng San, didn't you see where I went just now? I went to Brother Long's place."
Feng San snorted: "What? When did Brother Long change his preferences? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Wu Sheng smiled and slapped his fingers away: "Wu has promised Brother Long that he will go to the high platform tomorrow. I have to use my strength today. I won't accompany you!"
Seeing Wu Sheng turn around and leave, Feng Sanda was unwilling to give in. He lost his temper and shouted to his subordinates: "Go find Wu Shiyi and ask him to put out the fire for Third Brother!"
