Chapter 5 The beacon is full of fire, and the water is cold
After walking for a few more hours, not daring to stop more in the middle, Qinghu fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep. Gradually, a large wasteland appeared in front of me, and after walking along the wasteland for dozens of miles, there was no snow on the ground, and some animals could be seen fighting and playing sporadically. "Mother, I'm so hot, I wore too much when I set off. Qinghu complained. Meng Qing also secretly wondered, didn't he say that there was snow all year round in this Tianshan Mountain, how could he get here and feel like a desert, so hot. Walking further, he gradually felt that the heat was steaming, Meng Qing was fine, Qinghu had not yet refined his qi, so he had to stop many times and take off a few thick clothes for him.
"Mother, why do you seem to have two suns on it?" Hearing Qinghu ask, Meng Qing looked up and saw that there were really two suns, one high, one low, one big and one small, and he was surprised. Having never heard that there would be two suns in this world, Meng Qing felt the strangeness of this place, so he ignored the heat, sped up and walked forward, thinking that it must still be a snow-capped mountain in front of him.
After moving forward for a while, it was still a hot wasteland, and Meng Qing felt that something was wrong. If you look closely, it seems that some of the scenery has been seen several times. Secretly surprised, I often hear the elders say that there are some strange formations in this world, if people break into it by mistake, they will never be able to get out, back and forth, or return to the original point. Could it be that he was so unlucky and mistakenly broke into some powerful formation?
Thinking of her husband, Meng Qing became more and more anxious, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Which senior is here, junior Meng Qing came to visit, mistakenly broke into the formation, please forgive the senior!" shouted several times, but there was no response.
Meng Qing shouted again: "The juniors are here to meet the Elder of the Heavenly Gate Ancient Moon Wind Gu, please see the seniors for the sake of the Heavenly Gate, let the juniors out, Meng Qing is grateful!"
Suddenly, Meng Qing felt a huge wave of heat rushing towards him, and there were pieces of fire in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, although he knew that he was invincible, he still couldn't help but raise his sword to defend himself. After a while, I heard the laughter of a child in my head, but the laughter was not the voice of a tiger. Try to look ahead, and see a fireball floating in front of you, and the sun lower in the sky is gone, is this fireball?
"Are you talking to me?" Meng Qing tried to ask.
"Hee-hee-ha, yes, yes!" Meng Qing's voice came from just now in his head again. "Are you the sun just now?" Meng Qing asked.
"Hee-hee-ha, yes, yes!"
Meng Qing seemed to see the smiling face of the fireball in front of him. At this time, she suddenly remembered what her husband had told before leaving, that if there is fire, it will pass, and that the fire is referring to this fireball.
She cautiously said, "Yes!"
"Heheheha, the crow hasn't asked yet, you will answer it. "But you know the code, it seems that the people in the Heavenly Gate told you. ”
Hearing this, Meng Qing was secretly happy, after walking for so long, Tianmen finally had eyebrows. But just half of the joy, I heard the fireball say: "Originally, you said the code and let you go immediately, this is the rule, but it's been a long time since outsiders came, you have to play with me for a while." ”
Meng Qing hurriedly said, "Master Crow, we are indeed in a hurry, can we go back and play with you again?"
"No way!"
Fireball stretched out a paw and touched what looked like a head, thought for a while and said: "That's it, fair trade, you answer me a question, this is the last time an old pervert asked me, the crow has been thinking about it for a long time, if you can answer correctly, the crow will give you a ride." ”
At this time, Qinghu replied: "Master Crow, you ask, Huzi likes to answer questions the most!" Meng Qing glanced back at Qinghu reproachfully, then turned his head and thought again, it seems that it will not work if he does not answer, if he answers correctly, he can save some time.
The fireball was happy, and flew into the sky with a "whew", and the air turned several times in succession, and then flew down, and said happily: "The problem is this, 'draw the time circle, write the time square, the winter time is short, the summer time is long', hit a thing." ”
What is this, Meng Qing thought about it for a long time, without the slightest clue. Qinghu was also thinking about it, he usually loved guessing games. Suddenly looked up and saw the sun in the sky, Qinghu suddenly realized, isn't this the word "day", that is, the sun. Hurriedly said happily: "I know, it's the sun!"
Fireball thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "This dead snake is scolding me for something, phew! I'm not a thing, ahh
"Okay, since you have answered, according to the rules, Lord Crow will send you away, but you have to be careful, the one behind is a pervert. After speaking, he saw that the fireball continued to stretch, becoming bigger and bigger, and finally, Meng Qing saw that the fireball turned into a huge firebird, with a hat like a crow, but the whole body was red, and it was extremely powerful. The fire raven landed on the ground and said, "Come on, don't worry, my flame has been put away!"
Meng Qing and Qinghu sat on the back of the firebird, and it was very stable. The speed of the firebird is extremely fast, its wings are gently stirred, it is already several miles away, the hot wasteland is actually not that big, and in an instant, the iceberg and snow field have already been seen.
"Okay, I'll send you here, Lord Crow's name is Beacon City, I believe we will meet in the future!" Meng Qing saluted: "Thank you, Lord Crow, Meng Qing is grateful!"
After bidding farewell to the crow master, Meng Qing and the others continued to use the jade talisman and flew west. The temperature has returned to the temperature of the snow-capped mountains, and Qinghu must not be put on again. After walking for half an hour, he was blocked by a huge river, about ten zhang wide, and there was a strong hurricane blowing on the river, and Meng Qing could barely bear it at first, but Qinghu was already crying out in pain, and several blood marks had been blown out of his face, and when he went forward, the wind was like a blade, Meng Qing and Qinghu gradually lost their balance and fell down, Meng Qing hurriedly retreated. Looking at the river more closely, it is also very strange, how can there be a river in this vast snow-capped mountain, this river can't see where it comes from, and I don't know where it flows. After looking closely for a while, the river has changed direction, from north to south, but now it has changed from south to north.
Meng Qing suddenly realized that this should be the water that her husband said, but she didn't expect it to be so strange, and thought for a moment, this should also be a formation. So he shouted loudly, "Senior, we are going to Tianmen to meet Elder Gu Yuefeng Gu, there are tokens as evidence, please be merciful seniors!"
"What's the code?" Sure enough, an old voice sounded in Meng Qing and Qinghu's minds.
"The code is a word!" Meng Qing shouted again.
"The code is true, but you just played a game with that fake sun, and you have to play with me to get you through!"
"Is it also a guess?" Meng Qing asked.
"Hmph, no, how can I play such a childish game, I'm not like that fake sun, I have to ask some difficult questions. Then he said, "Don't be reluctant, for if you can answer, I'll do you a little favor." ”
"In that case, senior, please give me advice!" Meng Qing said.
The river changed into a human face, and at this time he frowned and said: "That's it, that's it, there is one thing I have been thinking about for a long time, and I don't have much hope when I meet you today, but let's have a chat." ”
Then he said in a deep voice: "I was an ordinary cold snake, one day, I suddenly opened my consciousness in my mind, and after a period of time, I automatically had the practice of cultivation, and since then I have begun to cultivate, and it has been more than 500 years, and then I met the head of Tianmen and was included in Tianmen. The head of the sect once said that I have dragon blood in my body and have the potential to transform into a dragon, but then I practiced hard, and the exercises became stronger and stronger, and my body became bigger and bigger, and the river you saw was my body. But I don't see the slightest hope of turning into a dragon, and I feel that I still have more than 500 years to live, and if I can't turn into a dragon, my life will slowly come to an end. Once I dared to ask the boss how to turn into a dragon and ask the boss to solve his doubts. The head said, 'Turning into a dragon is a practice against the sky, whether you can turn into a dragon depends on asking the will of heaven', and I asked again, 'What is heaven?', and the head said, 'What is heaven, no one knows, but the will of heaven lasts forever, and when there is a fate, you can know the will of heaven'. ”
I now ask you, "Do you know what the heavens are, whether the heavens have heads, whether the heavens have ears, and whether the heavens have feet?"
After hearing this, Meng Qing looked dazed, she secretly felt that this terrifying river was probably a little crazy, but how to answer, no one has ever seen the sky, but the sky does exist, and after thinking about it for a long time, I don't know how to answer.
Seeing Meng Qing's appearance, He shook his head in disappointment, it seemed that there was little hope. At this time, I heard the child say, "Uncle Dahe, I will tell you, but you are wrong, you can't kill us!"
Seeing that Huzi was about to talk nonsense again, Meng Qing hurriedly said: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about, what do you know!" It seemed that he could see that the river showed a pair of extremely bright eyes, and the mother shot a cold light, Meng Qing saw that the river moved, and suddenly the mountains shook, and he was already unstable on his feet. After a while, Dahe asked, "Little doll, you say, I won't blame you!"
Qinghu straightened his body and said seriously: "My statement is ingenious, but I can barely say it." The sky has a head, and in the west, "Wujing" says: "Heaven looks to the west, martial arts move to the east", the sky has ears, "The Great Wilderness Sutra" says: The dragon sings Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky", the sky is more sufficient, "Nine Absolute Classics" says: "The sky is difficult", the senior uncle, do you see what I said is right?"
Meng Qing and He He were a little confused, they didn't expect to be able to say it, the river that the big snake turned into vaguely understood the meaning of the master, he only cultivated the outside, but not the inside, only cultivated the body, and did not cultivate the heart of the dragon, how could he turn into a dragon.
He glanced at Qinghu deeply, and he had a hunch that there would be a chance with this child in the future, which was also providential. He said: "Girl, little baby, you remember my name, the cold is also, we will see each other in the future." This place is not far from the Gate of Heaven, and you can reach it by going more than 100 miles to the west, but whether you can climb the ladder of heaven depends on your creation. After speaking, I saw the river moving back and forth, and suddenly, the river disappeared, and gradually shrunk, from a big snake about 100 zhang long and more than 10 zhang thick to a crystal white snake more than four or five feet long.
Then, I saw the big snake spit out a ray of light and fly towards Meng Qing, Meng Qing trembled, and suddenly felt that his body was very cool, and then turned into a rolling true qi and sank into the sea of qi. Hurriedly said: "Thank you seniors, juniors are grateful!" The big snake said: "This little baby has a little kindness to me, but he can't bear my true blood now, so I'll transfer it to you, you guys go!"
After Meng Qing gave the salute, he sacrificed the jade talisman and flew west with Qinghu.
