Volume 1: The Taiping Bureau (Part I) Chapter 97, Kunxu
Three thousand miles of forbidden land, outside the Kunxu.
This is a precipitous snowfield, with mountains and valleys, thousands of peaks and ravines, looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a large piece of crumpled rice paper, folded and horizontal, and it is difficult to count.
The sky is also white, like the aftermath of a landscape painting, and everything looks unreal.
Before coming to Kunxu, Yeyu's knowledge of this place was limited to the records in books and some words he heard from his father's mouth.
For example: there are mountains in the southwest of Middle Earth, the potential is high into the clouds, surrounded by four waters, the shape is like a basin, its peak is windy, there are pillars leading to the sky, it is the dwelling of the gods.
Another example: Kunlun Hill, is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, King Mu led his troops to the west, wanting to steal the artifact "Emperor Scepter", and finally destroyed the sacred mountain, broke the pillar of the sky, poured weak water, caused the ground to be frozen for thousands of miles, and the western sky dome was shattered, etc.
The boy thought he was ready to face the unknown.
But when he was really in it, standing on a mountain peak, and witnessing this magnificent scene, he was still shocked and his mind went blank.
He had never felt so small, as small as an ant, a speck of dust.
A sense of humility that he had never felt before hit his heart, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This Kunlun Mountain is too big, it is already too big to exceed his imagination.
If you want to find someone in such a mountain, even if you are well prepared and have enough dry food, you will not be frozen to death by the cold wind in this mountain that is better than a bone-scraping steel knife, I am afraid it will take several years.
Ye Mo clenched his fists, and after adjusting his breath to calm the heart lake from the turmoil, he needed to think about what to do next.
The thin boy braved the bitter cold wind and carefully examined his surroundings.
In front of him was a cliff with a knife-cut wall that was bottomless, with undulating snow hills on both sides, and in the distance you could see an icy valley with stalagmites in the middle.
Ye Yan wanted to find a leeward place, temporarily sheltered from the wind and snow, turned around and saw that there was a huge object shaped like a cauldron not far behind him, the shape was peculiar, the size of a Buddhist hall, made of regular porcelain pieces, the surface has been broken, the mouth of the pot is obliquely facing the sky, there is a conical shelf inside, all have been frozen in ice, there is a stone seat under the cauldron, which has been buried by snow, there is a doorway in between, and there is a narrow road in front.
He was immediately overjoyed, but he did not act rashly, but looked around for a while, and suddenly realized that the snow-capped hills around the top of the mountain were all buildings buried by ice and snow.
The boy was extremely vigilant, and while testing the depth of the snow under his feet with his knife, he touched the bottom of the large stone seat.
The stone house is uninhabited, with a lot of space and a lot of pipes embedded in the four walls, and a ladder in the corner that leads to the upper floor.
Ye Yu climbed upstairs and saw a row of iron frames in the room, on which some dry food and miscellaneous items were placed, there was a charcoal basin on the ground, and an incense burner was placed on the table in the corner, and a column of soul incense was inserted on it.
Immediately, he surveyed all the corners again, but found no trace left by Yunlang and them.
Seeing that the wind and snow outside were non-stop, it was not advisable to move rashly, Ye Yu covered the heavy iron door, took the charcoal basin downstairs, lit it with the fire, sat next to the charcoal basin, took out the mahogany peach talisman of Chen Blind, and called him out.
I saw a wisp of green smoke drifting out of the peach talisman, and in an instant, it turned into a thin man with a height of seven feet and wearing a shabby robe.
Ye Yu was a little surprised, during this time, except for the last time he asked him to deduce the fate of Feng Tielu and Zhao Jia, he did not arrange work for him, but he didn't expect that after only ten years of effort, this guy has been solidified and turned back into an adult.
The young man looked up at him: "You broke through the realm?" ”
Chen Blind Man was suddenly summoned, and he didn't know where he was, but when he saw the makeover Night Drink, he was only slightly stunned, and bowed deeply: "Thank you master for your success"
Since finding out the temper of the night, Chen Blind has no longer slipped around and has always adhered to the appearance of being cautious in words and deeds.
Ye Mo looked him up and down again, and saw that there was no shadow under his feet, and suddenly remembered something, and then looked around him, it was also empty.
He was busy secretly transporting back to the Light Penetrating Moon Jue, urging the flow of qi in his body, and the shadow under his feet changed from virtual to real, but it was just the opposite of Taiping City, here he needed to reverse Zhou Tian's shadow, and then estimate the physical strength that had rebounded, almost having the strength of the first grade of the Four Realms, and it would take some time to recover the peak.
Chen Blind stood aside, seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he also looked at his nose, his nose was concerned, and he was silent, and his eyes showed a trace of coldness imperceptibly.
Ye Yu had a strange feeling, this felt like he had it when he was with Luhua, but his heart was warm when he was with the little girl, and the feeling just now was completely unrelated to this.
The young man lowered his head and chuckled, but did not look up at Chen's blind face: "What, you want to have a hand with me?" ”
Chen Blind was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand: "My subordinates don't dare, my master's cultivation is unfathomable, and I am willing to bow to the wind."
Yeyu looked up at him and smiled: "I know that you have been unconvinced in your heart, why don't we open the skylight and say something bright, I don't like to owe favors to others, and I don't want to be taken advantage of by outsiders, but it was you who deceived me before, and only then did I get to this step, fortunately, you are still smart, and the information provided is very useful, and you can offset half of the life debt you owe me, and when you pay off the rest, we don't owe each other, so we don't have anything to do with each other, how about it?" ”
Chen was stunned: "Is this true?" ”
Ye Mo nodded: "Of course, but you have to figure out the current situation, you are just a stump living on the root of my life, if you want to fight any kind of ghost idea, it is best to weigh what the consequences will be if you knock down my tree, don't be dizzy and do something stupid that hurts others and yourself."
Chen's blind face was slightly pale, as if he had been woken up by the words of the night, and his figure was a little vain for a while.
Ye Yu was silent for a while, and when he settled down, he said, "Sit down, tell me how you come out to do the game, and how you generally divide labor."
Blind Chen secretly sighed that it was getting harder and harder to turn back, but he could only tell all the secrets related to the Nine Elements in 1510.
If you say it from the surface, there are eight kinds of "buying, asking, chasing, finding, burying, asking, discing, and wearing".
According to the different purposes, there is a focus on the link setting, personnel arrangement, and aftermath response.
But generally speaking, Juyizhuang and Huangliang Wharf send people to open the door first.
Then the guests came to the bureau, laid out the internal and external eyeliner, light and dark pockets, and Huayuelou checked the gaps.
If it is a life buying bureau, the main bureau is responsible for the Taiping Lou life buyer, in addition, such as the treasure hunt bureau is a one-way view of people to pick the beam, most of the debt collection is the responsibility of the Taoist Hall, and the other bureaus are carried out according to the rules of who is responsible for the matter.
Huale Gambling House and White Tiger Camp are responsible for the aftermath.
If you want to break the skin and shake the stuffing, the business done by the nine elements of Taiping City is different.
Buying and selling.
Buying people's lives, exchanging peace, selling people's lives, is unfair.
Although Chen Blind is not very capable, he is very sharp-tongued, and he can summarize a very complex matter and explain it in simple terms.
This was something that Nightly had already felt when he listened to him talk about the fate entanglement formula.
Although the nine elements of Taiping City are intricate, there are rules to follow, and each of them is exquisite, containing unknown doorways and thoughts.
This is the first time that a teenager has heard someone talk about the key points in such a way, and the benefits are not shallow.
When things came back to the front of him, Ye Mo had already made it clear that the place where he was now was not the final place where Yunlang and them finally landed, it should be just a transit place, and he could still jump to the next place by sending incense.
But the young man didn't rush to act, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then looked at the blind man Chen who had been standing opposite him in a proper manner: "How many layers of Qingfeng's ability do you comprehend now?" ”
"Less than three floors"
"Tell me what you've learned."
……
Phantom bamboo arrives about two hours later than the night.
When she appeared at the door of the stone house with her bleeding arm in one hand, it was almost dusk, and the cold wind was even stronger.
The girl in black pushed open the iron door and saw that there was only one person in the room, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that her face was pale from the cold, and there were three shocking claw marks on her left arm, which were deeply visible, she slowly got up to give way to his place, and took out an empty jar from Sumeru, and sat opposite her.
Phantom Bamboo was not polite, and sat directly next to the charcoal basin, his eyes were no longer gray, and he had returned to normal, but his eyebrows stood like a narrow knife, and he looked at the young man like a wounded she-wolf.
The cold wind outside the door blew more and more fiercely, and the sound was like a ghost's howl.
The atmosphere in the room is also becoming more and more tense.
Ye Yu glanced at Phantom Bamboo's shoulder: "One report and one report, we are even, since you are here, you want to continue the previous transaction, but I want to see your sincerity first"
Phantom Zhu smiled contemptuously and glanced at Ye Yu, who was half a head shorter than her: "What do you want to think of my sincerity and sleep with me?" Kill me? ”
Yelu shook his head: "It's very simple, give me your bracelet, as long as it has nothing to do with me, you can take it"
Phantom Bamboo hesitated slightly, nodded again, took out a set of clothes and a medicine box from Sumeru, and her spirit card, took off the bracelet, and threw it to Yeyu.
The boy got up, came to her, rummaged through the clothes and medicine box for a while, and saw that there was nothing suspicious, and nodded slightly.
Phantom Bamboo stretched out his right hand: "Bring it"
Yelu shook her head, just looked at the girl in black, silent.
Phantom Zhu was stunned, and when he heard the voice of the young man, he was immediately annoyed and angry, his eyes seemed to be able to kill, and he scolded angrily: "Shameless"
"I have a daughter-in-law, I'm not interested in you"
"You ......"
Phantom Bamboo was so angry by Ye Yu's words that he was stunned, but he was helpless.
After a moment, she slowly stood up, and her face returned to indifference: "Here? Or go up? ”
Nightmuffler raised his hand and pointed to an empty corner.
Phantom Bamboo gritted his teeth, picked up a winter coat, walked to the base of the wall, and began to untie the clothes on his body, from the outside to the inside, and finally there was only one dirty clothes left.
Ye Mo stared at her movements intently, and only nodded slightly when she confirmed that the girl had no more selfish hiding.
Huanzhu put on his clothes again, came to the charcoal basin again, opened the medicine box, took out a few wound medicines, treated the wound with great difficulty, wrapped it in gauze, and stared at the thin boy coldly: "What else do you want to see?" ”
Yelu shook her head and threw the second life money to her.
Phantom Bamboo put the money in his mouth and bit it hard.
Both then fell silent.
After a while, Ye Yu took out a piece of dry cake from Sumeru, put it on the charcoal basin and baked it, broke it and handed it to half of the phantom bamboo.
Phantom took the dry cake and took a big bite.
Ye Yu said: "This is a day's ration, don't eat it all, we may have a long way to go"
Phantom Zhu was stunned, smacked his chest with his fist, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "Do you know what kind of place this is, just by yourself, do you still want to go inside, want to find death?" ”
"Kunxu, I know"
Nightmuffled replied flatly, as if it were a very ordinary thing.
Phantom Zhu became more and more angry: "How old are you, who gave you the courage to make you think you can come here to break in?" ”
Yeyu looked at the girl's eyes, as if she could also read her thoughts, and said coldly: "You don't have to talk about it, I naturally have a reason to come here and enter."
Phantom Bamboo seemed to be choked on a dry cake again, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the jealousy in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Ye Yan watched her slowly lower her head, looked at the brazier as if she had lost her soul, her face was sad, and she said: "Don't try, these tricks are useless to me, I won't pity you, if you want to hang your life, you have to follow me, if you don't want it, you can go now"
Phantom Bamboo's hand holding the dry cake trembled a little, and his heart was eager to cut it with a thousand knives.
However, after a period of silence, she slowly raised her head again, looked at Ye Yu indifferently, but said something that surprised the young man.
"Kunxu is a place of ten uniques, there is no return"
This time it was the turn of the young man to beat his chest fiercely, and he lost his voice and said, "How is this possible? ”
Phantom Bamboo sneered: "You should have heard about King Mu's early tour of the west, that is not a legend"
"You've been in?" Nightshade looked at her and was skeptical.
The corners of Phantom Bamboo's mouth were slightly hooked, and he was a little happy: "You can not believe it if you want to die, but I don't want to die with you, why don't we make another deal, settle all the accounts, and go our own way, so as not to get tired of each other."
"What deal?"
"You came here for two purposes, either to hunt for treasure or to find people, and I know some news about Kunxu, which should be useful to you"
"That's not enough, I need to know how to get in and out of Kunxu"
"I only know the entrance, but not the exit, if you don't believe me, we'll go our separate ways now"
Ye Mo pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Phantom Bamboo snorted coldly and took another big bite of the dry cake.
Ye Mo turned his gaze to the empty corner of the wall again, and said lightly: "You can come out"
A cloudy wind suddenly rose in the house, and the charcoal fire was faintly bright.
Blind Chen condensed from the void, and his face had become as white as the snowflakes outside.
Although he had long known that Yelu had plans to escape, he didn't expect him to really succeed.
And even ran into this three-thousand-mile forbidden land that was regarded as forbidden by Da Zhou.
Not only is his master of mysterious origins, his cultivation is unfathomable, and even his actions are incomprehensible to him.
Phantom Zhu turned her head suddenly, she didn't expect that there was still a person hidden in the house, and she could avoid her perception, and when she saw the true face of Chen's blind man, she was even more shocked and speechless.
