Chapter 132: Volcanic Snow Lotus
......
The red and translucent magma covered the top of the mountain in a radius of dozens of zhang, only a few feet away from Ou Chuyang's wide mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mu Wanqing followed behind, and just poked her head out, she was also startled, "Ah...... This lava is about to spill out......"
Ou Chuyang calmed down, observed for a while, and said, "This volcano may have been formed by the continuous upwelling and leakage of lava and the accumulation of continuous cooling. ”
"That's how it should be. Mu Wanqing glanced left and right a few times, and felt that there was nothing to see, so she said: "Other than that, there is nothing peculiar, let's go." ”
"Wait. Ou Chuyang asked, "Don't you think it's strange, it's unreasonable that we are so close to the magma and not feel the slightest burning sensation. ”
Mu Wanqing guessed: "Maybe it's too cold here." ”
"No, no matter how low the temperature is here, it's only a few tens of degrees below zero. And the temperature of the lava is hundreds or thousands, how can we not feel the heat when we are so close?" Ou Chuyang said, squatting down and slowly approaching the magma.
"I still can't feel the temperature. Ou Chuyang's hands were about to reach into the magma.
"It's incredible. Mu Wanqing looked around, looked at the top of the volcano, and suddenly pointed to the center of the lava and asked in surprise, "What is that?"
I saw a white lotus floating in the crater full of lava. The size of the lotus bowl, the whole body is snow-white, pure and flawless, and it seems to be carved from mutton fat and white jade. The petals are lifelike, as if moving with the wind, and as if they are alive.
"I've never heard of iceberg snow lotus...... What's going on with this volcanic snow lotus?" Ou Chuyang said in extreme shock: "Something that goes against common sense must be extraordinary, could it be that the heat of this entire volcano is suppressed by this lotus?"
"This lotus flower is like ice and jade, it should be an extremely cold thing. But was it naturally generated or was it placed here?" Mu Wanqing was very puzzled, and couldn't think of a reason.
"It's a pity that we can't fly yet, and we can't get close to take a look......" Ou Chuyang suddenly slapped his head, "We can fish it out!"
The sword-forging guy was collected by Ou Chuyang among a few swords, and immediately found a piece of iron and wood, cut it into dozens of pieces, and connected them from end to end to make a slender wooden pole.
Ou Chuyang held the wooden pole and slowly stretched it to the center of the lava more than ten zhang away, carefully reaching the white lotus.
As soon as the front end of the wooden pole touched the white lotus, it suddenly froze. "Click!" the ice quickly spread along the wooden pole towards Ou Chuyang.
"Holycht!" Ou Chuyang hurriedly threw away the wooden pole, and the wooden pole wrapped in layers of cold ice fell into the magma and quickly dissolved.
"This treasure is very powerful, and the cold energy contained in it is only afraid that it is not weaker than the holy sword 'Ice Spirit Cold Light'. Ou Chuyang estimated that if he didn't let go just now, he was afraid that he would be frozen into an ice sculpture alive.
"I can see it, I can't touch it, and I can't take it away, what should I do?" asked Mu Wanqing. The pure and immaculate white snow lotus is liked by the eyes, and she is also quite excited.
"I estimate that if it is not a heaven-level power, it can't be taken away. Ou Chuyang thought about it again and again and decided to give up, "If you want to get the treasure of heaven and earth, you still have to look at chance." When the time is not right, they forcibly seize it, only for fear of suffering from it. ”
Although Mu Wanqing was very sorry, she didn't continue to dwell on it, and said calmly: "I don't know how many years this lotus has existed here, and it must not be so easy to be taken away." Let's go, and try again when we have a chance. ”
The two turned around and went down the hill, not looking back again. Hits sometimes have to happen, and hits don't force them all the time. There are many treasures in this world, I am fortunate to have it, and I have lost my life.
......
After a few more days of walking north, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the sun hung obliquely in the sky, like an ornament, and I couldn't feel the warmth of the sun at all.
Now, Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing are both covered with thick sword qi, so that they can withstand the extreme cold. Ou Chuyang estimates that it is colder here than the North Pole of the earth.
After leaving the volcano, nothing appeared on the ice, no icebergs, no living things, nothing but a white ice field.
When you first step onto this vast ice field, you will be amazed by the strange beauty. But after a long time, I felt unbearable boredom and dead silence.
Ou Chuyang knew that if a person was locked in a silent room, normal people would soon have a nervous breakdown. Although he and Mu Wanqing are now dependent on each other and there will be no major problems, they still feel bored and anxious in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, if we don't find any clues, we'll turn and leave. Ou Chuyang felt that it was time to give up.
Mu Wanqing nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, do you remember?"
"It's the New Year...... Ou Chuyang was stunned and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that there is no wine and food, no fireworks, we are just afraid that we are going to have a tasteless, tasteless, dull and colorless bleak Spring Festival." ”
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly: "There is a sword in your hand, why not dance the sword?"
"Good. Ou Chuyang's "Cang Chang" sword came out of the sheath with a bright sound, and danced opposite Mu Wanqing.
The blue sky is the curtain, the ice field is endless, the world is vast, and the years are reckless. The clothes are fluttering, the figures are flying, the sword light is flickering, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal.
Ou Chuyang slowly immersed himself in the sword words, and the vast world seemed to suddenly become extremely small. He only had the Xuanao sword words in his mind, and he only had Mu Wanqing in white clothes and snow in his eyes, but a burst of desolation surged in his heart, and he opened his mouth and chanted:
"Swords are hard to come by, and it's hard to meet. I once saw it today, and the red color was cold. The stars in the box move, and the moon shadow on the edge of the ring remains. Nature is ghostly, and nothing is empty. ”
Mu Wanqing heard Ou Chuyang's voice, with a sense of sadness, so she also chanted poems and harmony, thinking that she would exhort:
"The sword is a double dragon, and the snowflakes shine on the hibiscus. The essence of light shoots the heavens and the earth, and the thunder is unstoppable. As soon as I went to the gold box, I lost my respect. Male and female will never be separated, and the gods will meet. ”
Ou Chuyang put away his sword and stood up, and said with a smile: "Today I fell behind, if there is wine, I should punish myself with three glasses." ”
"Actually, I feel a little melancholy. Mu Wanqing looked up at the sky and said, "I originally thought that the farther away from home, the more comfortable I became. Who knows that there are always some stumbling blocks in my heart, and I can't let go. ”
"I miss my relatives every festive season, Wanqing, you are homesick. "This is the second Chinese New Year's Eve after Ou Chuyang came to this world, and if you want to say homesick, I'm afraid that no one thinks more than him. No matter how far away others are from home, there is always a hope, but he has no idea whether he will have a chance to return home in his lifetime.
Mu Wanqing's eyes showed a hint of gloom, "After my mother died, I didn't treat it as a writer. I thought that after I came out, it would be okay again, who knows......"
