Lin San sat on a piece of ice, looked at the two suns hanging in the sky, and said to himself: "The sunshine is really bright today, but unfortunately, the temperature here is too low."
"Lin Zi, why are you lazy again? If you are discovered by those patrolling guards, they will definitely cause trouble for you," Hu Tou walked over from the side.
Lin San smiled: "Brother Hutou, don't worry, those guards don't dare to do anything to me." During this period, Lin San had already figured out the patrol times of those guards. As long as the guards were not around, Lin San would He would be lazy on purpose, and when the guards were about to arrive for patrol, he would pretend to be digging into the ice, which was a complete sleight of hand.
Hutou shook his head: "You have only been here for a short time, and you don't know much about the brutality of those guards. Let me tell you, those guards are..."
"Okay, brother Hutou, stop talking, I know it well," Lin San interrupted Hutou.
Seeing that Lin San couldn't listen to his advice, Hu Tou couldn't say anything more and turned around to leave.
"Brother Hutou, since you're here, let's sit down and chat for a while," Lin San shouted.
"No, I still have to dig through the ice. Today's task is just half completed," Hutou said in a dilemma.
Lin San stood up, pulled Hutou and sat on the ground: "Brother Hutou, you are so rigid. When the guards are not around, you can just be lazy for a while, and you will be fine."
"Lin Zi, why did I find that something...is wrong with you recently," Hutou frowned slightly.
Lin San smiled and said: "Don't think blindly, the main reason is that I am in a better mood recently,"
"In a good mood," Hu Tou didn't understand the meaning of Lin San's words.
Lin San looked around, then leaned into Hu Tou's ear and whispered: "You will be out of the sea of suffering soon,"
"Really," Hu Tou reached out and held Lin San's wrist.
Lin San nodded: "I guess there will be news in the next few days,"
"Oh, Lin Zi, if you really help me escape from the sea of suffering, I will definitely repay you heavily," Hu Tou said gratefully.
Lin San patted Hutou's wrist: "You are my good friend and good brother. It is natural for me to help you."
"Lin Zi, knowing you is the greatest luck in my life..." Seeing Lin San helping him out like this, Hu Tou felt really grateful.
"Okay, it's almost time, we should get to work," Lin San stood up and walked to the side with a big knife on his shoulder.
Hutou also got up from the ground, calmed down his emotions, and began to continue digging into the ice.
…
Early that morning, a pleasant bell sounded throughout the Ice City. It lasted for half an hour before the bell slowly stopped.
A group of monsters dressed in different clothes gathered around a high platform, whispering to each other.
Butler Xiong was also among these monster beasts, but he was standing a little further back.
"The palace master is here," someone shouted.
Deacon Xiong looked up and saw a white light flying from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the white light flew over the high platform. "Bop" the white light shattered, revealing an old man wearing a white leather coat and gray hair. He saw that the old man was holding a hand in his left hand. Holding a jade Ruyi and a small bottle in his right hand, he slowly landed on the high platform.
"Hail, Palace Master, Hail, Palace Master," all the monster beasts knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
The old man smiled slightly and said warmly: "Everyone, please get up." Although the old man's voice was not loud, it accurately reached the ears of every monster present.
"Thank you, Palace Master," the monsters thanked them and slowly stood up.
"The auspicious time has come, let's start praying," a man with an upper body standing next to the high platform shouted loudly.
"Boom, boom, boom," three melodious bells sounded in the distance.
The old man faced the east, knelt down on his knees, raised the jade ruyi and the small bottle at the same time, and began to mutter something.
The monsters around the high platform also knelt on the ground, facing the east, praying silently.
The ceremony lasted for a full two hours before it ended.
After the ceremony, the old man who owned the palace left the high platform directly and went to the palace not far away to rest.
After a while, several deacons from Bingcheng were all called to the palace for questioning, and Deacon Xiong was among them.
There are three palaces in the Ice City, all of which are used to accommodate the palace owners. The entire Ice City is so large that it can be called a small country. The Ice Palace located in the middle of the Ice City is equivalent to a The capital of the country.
The main hall of the palace was magnificently decorated, and a crystal chair was placed right in front of the hall. The old man sitting on the chair was the palace owner.
The current palace owner of the Ice Palace is called Old Yao Shi Hai. He is a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. He has great magical powers and is extremely famous in the sea of monsters.
Old Demon Shi Hai glanced at the deacons standing below: "You don't have to be reserved, just sit down."
Several deacons did not dare to disobey Old Demon Shi Hai's order, so they all walked to the side and sat on the chairs.
"Tell me about the situation in Bingcheng in recent years," Old Demon Shi Hai picked up a cup of ice tea and drank it slowly.
Several deacons began to introduce in detail the development of Ice City in recent years.
An hour later, the old demon Shi Hai nodded: "You have worked hard these years, come and reward me."
The two guards immediately brought out a large number of spiritual stones.
"These spirit stones are given to you as a reward," Old Demon Shihai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Palace Master," several deacons stood up and divided the spirit stones equally.
"Okay, you can go back," Old Man Shi Hai put down his teacup, picked up a book and started reading.
When Butler Xiong walked to the door, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back.
"Why are you back again? Do you have anything else to do?" Old Demon Shihai asked without raising his head.
Deacon Xiong took a breath: "Um, Palace Master, I do have something to report to you,"
"Tell me," Old Demon Shi Hai put down his book and raised his head to look at Butler Xiong.
This was the first time that Butler Xiong faced Old Demon Shi Hai alone, and he was extremely nervous: "Palace Master... I want to tell you about the tiger head..."
"Hutou," Old Demon Shihai was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Isn't Hutou staying in the suburbs of the city to dig out ice? Why, he caused trouble again." Old Demon Shihai has never forgotten his good friend's apprentice. .
Deacon Xiong nodded, then shook his head.
"Please explain clearly what is going on," Old Demon Shihai's face darkened.
"Ah, it wasn't Hu Tou who caused the trouble, it was the guards who mistreated Hu Tou..." Seeing that Old Demon Shi Hai was a little dissatisfied, Butler Xiong immediately told the story of Hu Tou's mistreatment over the years.
"Pah," the old demon Shihai slapped the handle of the crystal chair. "Crack," a deep crack suddenly appeared on the handle: "Those guards are so brave, they actually dare to abuse Hutou in private,"
Deacon Xiong boldly said: "To report to Palace Master, it's not that the guards are brave, but that there are other secrets behind them."
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Old Demon Shi Hai's eyes: "What's the inside story?"
