Volume Two, The Lake of Winter, Chapter 58: The Lake in the Valley
Volume 2: Lake in Winter Chapter 58: Lake in the Valley
The steep cliff rose rapidly in front of you. The weeds between the cliffs were dragged into a green line and then quickly disappeared. The slightly cold wind blew on the cheeks. Mo Shanshan held Ning Que's belt tightly with his left hand, and there was no in his eyes.
There was nothing panic, and there was no exclamation, because she believed that people like Ning Que would never commit suicide.
With a loud bang, the big black umbrella opened in the air. The two of them shook heavily, and their fall rate suddenly slowed down a lot. They walked away from the cliff along the wind direction and drifted towards the broad-leaved forest not far below their feet.
Her eyes narrowed by the wind. She raised her head and saw a large black umbrella covering the snowy sky. It was blown by the strong mountain wind. It was only slightly deformed and could not see any signs of disintegration.
I couldn't help but wonder what material this black umbrella was made of, and it was so sturdy.
Ning Que held the handle of the big black umbrella tightly in his right hand, as tight as steel, and his left hand hugged Shu Chi's waist, staring at the ground getting closer and closer, without any extra attention to the feeling of warmth and slipperyness between his fingers.
I hugged the little girl and jumped off the cliff with an umbrella many times. I knew that although the black umbrella was strong, the area of the umbrella was still too small, so I would not feel good when I landed.
When they were still several meters away from the ground, a very light and pure talisman was released from Moshan Mountain's fingers, and the air suddenly became as if it had been sticky for several minutes, and the two of them fell slowed down again.
Ning Que knew that Mo Shanshan had taken action, so he stopped preparing to use talismans and hugged her waist tightly.
With a muffled sound, his knees bent slightly and landed heavily on the ground outside the woods. The skeletal muscles and joints tightened and loosened as soon as they landed, perfectly removing most of the impact. The girl in her arms seemed to have nothing.
Issue.
Ning Que let go of his arm and nodded to her.
Mo Shanshan shook his head and calmly left his arm.
There are countless fallen leaves on the ground outside the woods, which are a little soft when stepped on. I don’t know how many years it has accumulated to accumulate to such a thick one, but the wonder is that there is no corruption.
Although this forest is a broad-leaved forest, it has just seen the light of day again. The green leaves between the branches are tender, unable to cover the stars and snowflakes leaking from the snow cliff, and they are like green spots of stars.
The two walked into the Qinglin and disappeared in a moment.
...
...
Walking into the green forest, gradually moving away from the snow cliff, there are no more snowflakes leaking from the world outside the mountain. However, the sky above the valley is still gray, and it is even more cold and close to the green spots in the forest.
I don’t know if it was because of the pressure brought by the promise of breaking the realm, or because Prince Longqing mentioned Sangsang, who was far away in Chang'an City, Ning Que was very quiet after entering the forest, and was not as active as before, just walking silently.
Mo Shanshan was also silent. He looked at his back, thought about the conversations between the snow cliffs, thought about the little maid who made Ning Que go against his original intention and wanted to protect him, thought about the not bloody but particularly cruel
The bet was a moment of depressed and worried, silently stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest, and I didn't make any sound.
From the snow cliff, this green valley is not big, but when I really came here, I realized that this valley did not look magnanimous, but was far-reaching. The two of them walked silently in the forest for half a day but had not yet
Go to the end of the valley.
This place is far enough away from the snow cliff, so I no longer worry about being heard or chased by Prince Longqing. Mo Shanshan looked at the big black umbrella behind Ning Que, but he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked: "Why didn't you fight before?"
?”
Ning Que stopped, turned around and asked, "Why do you want to fight?"
Mo Shanshan looked at his eyes and said seriously: "You taught me to fight in the carriage. I once said that when two tigers meet, the most important thing to remember is... the brave wins."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and replied: "In front of Longqing, I can't be called a tiger."
Mo Shanshan glanced at the tip of the bag hanging between his wrist and said, "If the divine talisman is in hand, a child can become a tiger."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "The master has consumed too much of his mind to write a magic talisman that can be used even in the state of inconsistency. I, as an apprentice, naturally cannot abuse it. Moreover, you and I are both people in the talisman path, so you should be very clear that this kind of talisman is stimulated.
It was not created by myself, and it was difficult for the talisman master to emit the real talisman power in it. I was not sure to use this talisman to hurt Longqing."
Mo Shanshan raised his little face slightly, looked at him and said seriously: "I'm still there."
Ning Que said sincerely: "Thank you, but this is a matter between me and Longqing after all, and there is no reason to let you take risks. What's more, you come to receive the temple edict, so I can't let you turn against the temple for me."
He looked at the cliff that he saw vaguely outside the Qinglin and said, "The purpose of our entry into the mountain is to make the book of heaven. In the end, I will face Prince Longqing head-on. He wants to force me into a desperate situation that cannot retreat.
I also have this idea. It will be beneficial for the subsequent things to be solved."
Mo Shanshan frowned slightly and said, "Prince Longqing is not such a person who can solve it."
Ning Que said: "It is naturally difficult to solve in the past, but now with the promise of breaking the realm, the situation will be completely different. As long as I can break the realm before him, then he will be solved."
His speaking speed was very slow and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about something for granted.
Mo Shanshan looked at him and suddenly realized that he had never thought of losing this bet, nor did he think that even if he won the bet, what if the other party regretted it? Although the son of Xiling God believed in Haotian devoutly,
But if you really want to destroy your cultivation and leave the temple, the oath made in the name of Haotian may not be really binding.
She asked, "What if you lose this bet?"
Ning Que replied simply: "I won't lose."
Mo Shanshan asked without hesitation: "If."
Ning Que was slightly stunned and said, "If you lose, you will lose. I have gone through a lot of hardships to understand the secrets. Would you really be so stupid that you fulfill your bet and turn yourself into a useless person?"
Mo Shanshan couldn't believe his ears and asked, "What should I do if the Master's reputation?"
Ning Que thought of Lin Ling, the great master in the Tang Camp of Wangting, who was dying with his eyes open, and laughed.
"I haven't seen a teacher yet, but according to the description of my seniors, he shouldn't care. On the contrary, if I really choose to turn myself into a useless person and leave the academy after losing the bet, he might be very good.
Angry, angry at how he took such a foolish student."
Mo Shanshan still couldn't understand this sentence.
Ning Que explained: "The meaning of this sentence is that the Master doesn't care much about his reputation."
"What if Prince Longqing cheats on you after losing to you?"
"If I enter Dongxuan first, he will not be allowed to fail to fulfill his contract."
"It is not so easy to cross the border and challenge. If you advance to the realm of Cave Xuan, you are only at the lowest level. How can you win over the two realms? No matter how good you are in combat, the gap between realms is still too big.
”
Ning Que looked at her and suddenly asked seriously: "If the person who breaks the realm suddenly gets disturbed by the outside world at the most critical moment, what will happen?"
Mo Shanshan didn't know why he cared about this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It depends on what kind of interference is from the outside world."
Ning Que said: "The most direct and strongest kind."
Mo Shanshan said: "Those who break the realm will suffer a severe backlash, and there may even be no hope of breaking the realm in this life."
Ning Que said with a nod to the head: "This is the best."
Then the two fell silent again.
...
...
It seems to be silent and aimlessly walking, but Ning Que has been following a certain direction. The powerful and proud aura is like a beacon in the world, guiding him through the green forest, passing through a swamp, and then walking.
After a muddy, rugged, wet and foggy Zhongshan Road, we arrived before a lake.
The lake is not large in size, only a hundred feet in size, with winding shores and light water. I don’t know how many years have existed in this strange valley, and there is no trace of artificial carving.
The green valley is warmer than the snow peaks of Tianqi Mountain outside, but in fact it is still a bit cold. It is more like the winter in Chang'an City. There are extremely thin ice cubes on the water on the shore of the lake, and it is swept by the waves.
It disperses on its own, and gradually condenses on the slightly quieter water surface in the distance.
It seems that there is no trace of artificiality, it is a natural lake in the valley, but Ning Que does not think so, because the familiar and close atmosphere comes from the depths of the lake. He stood by the lake and stared at the lake silently for a long time,
After the clear water, I saw the white sand and rocks at the bottom of the water, but I saw nothing abnormal.
Mo Shanshan could not sense the powerful aura, but she could clearly sense the existence of other things. She walked to Ning Que's side, looked at the fish swimming slowly in the lake, and said softly: "This lake is a big one."
The formation, strangely, is that this lake itself is the eye of the formation, and it seems to be a bit contrary to the principles of formation."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and said, "The formations in the unknown land are naturally different from those in general."
"You mean this lake is the mountain gate of the Demon Sect?"
She looked at the snow peaks in the distance reflected on the lake, and suddenly remembered some records in the sect, and said with a trembling voice: "There was once a record in the sect. There is a lake in the sect gate of the Demon Sect. Could it be this lake?"
Ning Que said: "It should be impossible to be wrong."
Mo Shanshan looked at the ordinary little lake in front of him, and found the mountain gate of the Demon Sect so simply, and said, "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to witness the remains of the mountain gate of the Demon Sect with my own eyes in my life."
If another practitioner is a practitioner who can see the Demon Sect Mountain Gate that has been destroyed in time with his own eyes and see the legendary unknowable land, he will definitely be very excited, and even jump into the lake with excitement and craziness.
If it were another period of time, Ning Que might be so excited, but now he is very calm, because no matter whether there is a scroll of the Heavenly Book and Ming Dynasty hidden at the bottom of the lake or the relics of the master's senior, it has nothing to do with him for the time being.
He suddenly asked, "Is this lake called? Is it mentioned in the records of the Xiling Buddhist scripture?"
Mo Shanshan asked, "Why do you care about this?"
Ning Que looked at her and said with a smile: "In the future, the history books will record the thirteenth disciple of the Academy. Ning Que is the mysterious cave by the lakeside. How can this lake have no name? The nameless lake and Weiming Lake are not even
It sounds nice."
Mo Shanshan sighed, thinking that it was so difficult and mysterious that it was to break the realm. Where can I break it by saying it? This was a bit too arrogant, and he said helplessly: "The Demon Sect calls itself the Great Ming Sect, so this lake is called the Great Ming Lake by them."
