Legend has it that an underground cold vein formed this glacier. It is also said that the core of the underground cold vein is actually an ancient cold dragon, which is a dragon species. It is just because some secrets have been punished by heaven and fell here. It is just a body of resentment mixed with cold air and will never be transformed.
Of course, there are also some storytellers who fabricated stories about the ancient times when human cultivators fought hard against the evil demon ancestor Han Chi and sealed it, saying that they were making money in the teahouse all day long to earn living expenses.
Deep in the glacier, the coolies were shaking and packing the marrow of thousands of ice mined from the deepest ice layer into a special thick wooden box and transporting it one by one.
Each box contains only a tiny ice marrow as big as a fingernail, but the coolies' faces turned blue. After transporting them to other coolies, they immediately ran to the fire and baked for half a day before they could get alive.
The tunnels dug in the glacier are extremely deep and continue to continue. There are several coolies at the deepest point. They are different from other coolies and are not responsible for transporting them, but only mine the marrow of ice that has been mined for thousands of years.
The pieces of fist-sized ice marrow were mined by them and divided into small pieces the size of fingernails and transported them up one after another.
Among these coolies, a small man stood in the center, wearing a melon-shaped hat and a torn fur vest on his body, with a tear-shaped fur vest on his body, and the edges were all ground.
Under the fur vest, I was wearing only a single dress, with thin arms and legs, and it seemed that I could be frozen to death in this tunnel at any time.
However, she alone mined the largest amount in the entire team. With a slight wave, she could smash large areas of ice walls, revealing the thousands of years of ice marrow embedded in it.
When a coolie in charge of transport passed by her, he accidentally touched her. The body where she was in contact with her was immediately frozen by a sudden cold. With the sound of Titicaca's freezing ice, ice quickly condensed on him.
"Not good!" someone shouted, and quickly sent the coolie up and put it on the fire to roast it. After a while, the ice on his body melted away. He was alive but his vitality was severely damaged. He was dead and could not go down to work in a short period of time.
The busy rescuers gradually dissipated, revealing Bei Xiaoya, who was standing behind everyone. She was petite and thin, with a big mask. People walked around her, with deep fear hidden in the depths of her eyes, and even in the distance, there were people whispering: "She is a monster, and should be thrown into the crater and burned to death!"
The person sent by the supervising monk happened to find her: "Bai Xiaoya comes with me, Lord Qin is looking for you."
She followed silently, put her hands in the pocket of the leather vest, lowering her head without saying a word.
When the supervising monk Master Qin saw her, he couldn't help but frown. This little girl was extremely evil. She was a monk in the early stage of Xuanqi realm. If she was too tight to her, she would feel that her qi and blood were frozen.
"Bei Xiaoya, your chance is here. Elder Feng will give you a good fortune and clean up and go with them."
Bei Xiaoya still didn't say anything and followed with her head down. She let others arrange her destiny without any resistance.
...
"Son, get up. Today is the day for your unique academic assessment. You must not be late. My mother asked them to prepare the ferocious beast meat porridge, four spiritual fruits, and ten spiritual food snacks. I will eat them all in a while. I will go and take a good exam. I must earn some face for my mother to come back!"
Qiu Yuru came early in the morning. In the past, when she was at home, ****peng was too busy to care about his son. No one dared to call Chen Zhining to get up, whether it was Chen Zhong, Chen Yi or Cai Lin.
Cai Lin hid aside, showed her little head, looked at Qiu Yuru with admiration, and thought to herself: Madam is still amazing!
Perhaps in order to make up for the regret of not being by my son in recent years, Qiu Yuru's care for his son these days has been meticulous, but as a result, this kind of "care" becomes "control" if he is not careful.
Chen Zhining struggled. Although he was not filial, he knew that filial piety was the leader of all virtues and did not dare to talk back to his mother.
"Mom-" he wailed, "This is the earliest time your son has ever risen in several years."
Qiu Yuru quickly touched Mao and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, you are the most obedient. Go and have breakfast quickly and prepare for it. Today is a big day."
In the restaurant, ****peng looked a little serious: "I got the news for my father. Today's assessment may not be simple, please be careful."
Chen Zhining waved his hand indifferently: "Dad, don't worry, today's assessment will be easy for your son."
Seeing this kid's careless look, **** Peng felt a bad premonition. He knocked on the table in annoyance and scolded: "You can't be more serious? With your talent and current cultivation, as long as you become serious, no matter how difficult they make things difficult for you, you will definitely be able to pass it. But you are so useless..."
Qiu Yuru was unhappy: "****Peng, please make your words clear, what is my son's incompetence?"
**** Peng immediately turned off the fire and glared at the lady pretending to behave... Then the lady glared back without hesitation. **** Peng coughed dryly, picked up the bowl and started to cook rice, as if nothing had happened.
Qiu Yuru glanced at her husband proudly, turned around and said to her son: "Good son, don't be hit by your father. Take a good test. I believe you can do it."
Chen Zhining smiled: "Of course my son is fine."
**** Peng sighed secretly. This kid obviously didn't listen to his words, and he still looked so careless.
...
Bei Xiaoya came very early and sat quietly on a row of stone piers outside the county school. Several guards of the county school did not realize that this wandering little girl was actually one of the contestants in the assessment today.
Bei Xiaoya is used to others deciding her fate. Yesterday, the deacon in Tianxu Pavilion asked her to come early, so she got up very early.
She didn't even see the so-called elder Feng Xuanzheng who gave her a "lucky". The people in the mine handed her over to a deacon in Tianxu Pavilion. From yesterday to today, the deacon has been arranging her.
After waiting for a long time, she finally met her opponent. She didn't like her opponent very much when she first came.
He came in such a beautiful carriage. When he got out of the carriage, he yawned a big shot, and then he smiled and grabbed the hand of a beautiful little maid in the carriage, begging the girl for some "kissing and encouraging", which scared the beautiful little girl so much that she quickly retracted back to the carriage.
But Bei Xiaoya has a good impression of the little girl. The clothes she said were so beautiful - Bei Xiaoya was a little envious, but she felt that the fur vest was suitable for her.
When the opponent entered the county school, Bei Xiaoya stood up and came to the gate and said calmly to the guards: "I was recommended by Elder Feng."
Elder Feng Xuanzheng also wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending a girl named "Bei Xiaoya" to participate in today's introductory assessment and join Chen Zhining.
The guards looked at her in surprise. She had long been used to this strange gaze, as if it was not much different from when others thought she was a monster.
So she still stood so hunched. After a while, the guards took back their surprised gaze: "Go in."
Chen Zhining was also surprised. When he looked back at the girl, the other party immediately lowered his head. Chen Zhining only saw a thin body, and could not see clearly whether his face was beautiful or not.
Director Cai Xun was very troubled. It was not because Master Taishi asked him to preside over today's assessment. There were only two disciples in total, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about it. He was just a little confused and worried that if he couldn't do it well, it would go against Master Xuezheng's thoughts. He would probably not be so comfortable in the future when he studied in the county.
But yesterday, Director Cai Xunzhao tried indirectly for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who Xuezheng wanted to come in and who was defeated - of course he couldn't test it out, because even Taishi himself hadn't figured it out.
"You are here, not late, this is great." Cai Xunshun also accompanied the two assistant teachers to assist. He looked calm and looked like a role model: "You two should know that the county school has been in school for more than four months, so it is very rare for you to have this opportunity, so you must seize it."
"Today's test is actually very simple, mainly depends on your talent. It's nothing if your current level is not high. The county school has a large number of classics and resources. As long as you have the potential, the county school will definitely be able to cultivate you!"
He pointed to Tiangui on one side: "If you have no objections, then the test will begin."
He looked at the two people: "Girls come first."
Bei Xiaoya walked forward, stood in front of the skylight, and pressed her hands in the center.
The stone ring turned layer by layer in the rough friction sound, and soon broke through the fifth floor. The eyes of Director Cai Xun and the two assistants lit up. I didn't expect that real gold could be found! Such a good immortal seedling, why did Feng Xuanzheng that old fox be willing to give it to the county school? Is it just for revenge?
The stone ring is still rotating, and has driven the sixth floor!
Chen Zhining didn't pay any attention to his "opponent", and he walked around the yard, looking very "rules".
Then when Bei Xiaoya completely activated the sixth stone ring and began to slowly drive the seventh stone ring, he stomped on a bluestone slab in the yard, and the stone slab broke with a click.
The seventh layer of stone ring has been rotating rapidly - this shows that Bei Xiaoya is at least purple talent! This has surpassed Chen Zhining's blue talent in the legend.
Director Cai Xunshun praised: "Okay!"
The speed of the seventh-layer stone ring is getting faster and faster. Everyone thinks that she will be able to activate the eighth-layer stone ring to achieve the legendary silver talent. However, unexpectedly, no matter how fast the seventh-layer stone ring rotates, the eighth-layer remains unmoved.
Finally, Bei Xiaoya's face flushed, and it was already a little beyond its limit, so she let go and retreated.
There is no miracle in his goal, and Director Cai Xun was regretful: As expected, the legendary threshold is not easy to cross. The first seven layers and the second two layers are definitely a world of difference.
But Director Cai Xunshun was already very satisfied. He had decided at this time that no matter who Xue Zheng was interested in, he must recruit this girl genius into the county school!
