Chapter 559 Ice and Snow Palace
Xu Zhuo went north and gradually saw a scene of snow covered in silver and heavy snow. In some places, the snow on the hills was dozens of meters high and never melted all year round.
After searching through a thousand miles of eyes, he found a "old land". He came here when he "dream through" the past and his memory was particularly profound. It was a canyon with steep cliffs on all sides. He felt it was very real at that time, but it was actually a place.
The wolf-headed monster python and Xue Fei'an, looking at these low-level monsters, Xu Zhuo felt very intimate. It was the first time he came into contact with the monster species.
He landed in the canyon and saw another javelin tree. He pulled up one. The roots and stems were quite tender and delicious. The stems on the surface were as hard as iron. The whole tree was as straight as a gun. With a slight stroke, it would be a good spear.
He simply made a tree javelin and overdrawed it out with force. With a "swish~", the javelin flew to the end of the sky, and I don't know where it flew.
The javelin shot out by Xu Zhuo's current strength is naturally extraordinary, and it is even more powerful than the giant crossbows that siege the city!
In the past, he could use two or three stones to make strong bows, but now he can't find an appropriate quantifier to measure his power. In fact, Xu Zhuo himself doesn't know how powerful he is now! He just feels that he has infinite energy in every move and will never be tired.
In the past, Xu Zhuo was limited by his ability to move and failed to get out of this canyon cage. Now he revisited the old place, but the steep peaks and the wolf-headed monster monster monster could no longer stop him. He also had no intention of slaughtering the wolf-headed monster pythons, and met the flying sky and continued to explore northwards.
The northward it is, the more bitter and cold it becomes, with extremely few people, and even the number of monsters becomes smaller.
However, even in the ice and snow forests, there is an oasis. In the extreme north, there is a high mountain range, with the highest peak of about 30,000 meters, several times higher than Mount Everest in the Himalayas on Earth, and stretching across the east and west, stretching eight or nine hundred miles. At the foot of this mountain range, the south facing area is a rare warm place.
Although it snows here, it only falls in winter and the snow also melts in the season. There is also a time when spring flowers bloom here. Xu Zhuo looked at the entire mountain range, and there was a rich variety of resources. There was also a river flowing slowly along the foot of the mountain. Because of this, many indigenous tribes lived on the mountain, but they did not form a country.
People here believe in the goddess of ice and snow. Legend has it that there is an ice and snow temple on the top of the mountain at the highest peak. In the past, many devout believers would climb up to worship on foot, and the incense was still very prosperous.
However, gradually, the Ice and Snow Goddess seemed to have disappeared, and there had not been a miracle for thousands of years. The devout believers gradually became fewer, and few people set foot in the Ice and Snow Palace.
Even so, about 60% of people still believe in the Snow Goddess, but they are not so pious.
Out of curiosity, Xu Zhuo flew to the highest peak and saw that there was indeed an ice and snow palace at the top. The palace gate was closed and it was deserted inside. The ice ridges under the eaves looked like spears, and some even had to catch up with the thickness of the pillars.
There is a large open space in front of the Ice and Snow Palace, which seems to be a square. On the edge of the square, there is a tall stone tablet. If Xu Zhuo had no vision and vision, he would probably not have seen it.
Because the temperature at the peak is too low, and the snow does not melt all year round, the stone tablet has been covered with ice and snow, and it is impossible to see its true face clearly.
This ice and snow goddess is doing a miserable life. It’s not that she has really fallen, right? Xu Zhuo muttered in his heart. While he waved his hand, the flying sword took action, and used the sword energy to clear all the snow and ice on the surface of the stone tablet, revealing the true appearance of the stone tablet, with three very delicate words engraved on it: "Yu Nu Peak!"
It is written in the text on Dark Great 6. Xu Zhuo has been lingering in this world for so long and has been proficient in the language and text of this world, so he recognizes it.
The name is a good name, and the handwriting is quite beautiful. I don’t know if it was written by the ice and snow goddess.
Xu Zhuo took out his cell phone and took a selfie, then walked through the snow toward the Ice and Snow Temple hundreds of meters away.
The snow was about to flood his thighs. Xu Zhuo released his flying sword, used it as a sled, and glided on the snow with his sword, which was quite interesting.
After thinking about it, he still took action to clean up all the snow in front of the door for the Ice and Snow Goddess. Even though he had great magical powers and cleared so much snow, he was still hot and cold.
The huge ice ridges under the eaves were also cleaned up. Finally, Xu Zhuo pushed open the gate of the Ice and Snow Palace. When he first saw him entering the door, he was extremely shocked!
I didn't pay much attention before, but now I only see that the statue of the ice and snow goddess presented in the main hall is exactly the same as Mo Xuan.
It’s just that the shapes and clothing are different, and the facial features, face shape, and even height are all carved from the same mold!
"What's going on? Why does this ice and snow goddess look exactly the same as Xuan'er?" Xu Zhuo immediately felt that there must be a story, which was definitely not a simple coincidence. This can be inferred from the inexplicable connection between Xia Lingsha and Zhuhou.
However, after all, the spider queen is alive, but the ice and snow goddess is nowhere to be seen. According to the believers at the foot of the mountain, the ice and snow goddess has not shown a miracle for thousands of years. Many people speculate that the ice and snow goddess has long fallen. However, most people still believe in her, as a spiritual inheritance and sustenance.
Xu Zhuo used his reincarnation eye and searched everywhere for more than half an hour. He searched the Jade Girl Peak and even the entire mountain range countless times, and confirmed that there was no trace of the existing person living in seclusion, and then he gave up.
"Hey~, there is something strange here!" Xu Zhuo was so dark under the lamp that he had only searched the surroundings and distances before, but forgot that there was a dark grid hidden in front of him. The space inside was very small, about the size of a palm, hollow, and basically nothing could open it. There was a golden gravel the size of a pea hidden inside.
"No, it's not gravel, it's definitely a magical object!" Xu Zhuo waved his hand and took the flying sword, turned into the size of a dagger, and began to dig at the bottom of the statue. Finally, he carefully took out the golden gravel there and put it in the palm of his hand to observe carefully.
The golden gravel is not an ordinary thing, with dozens of restrictions on protection. Xu Zhuo carefully cracked it layer by layer, and finally stopped at the last three levels.
Because these three layers of protection were protected, Xu Zhuo could not see through what was inside the gravel.
Xu Zhuo took the gold sand and repaired the damaged area at the bottom of the statue, and then left. He planned to visit the nearby tribe for a while, which was related to Mo Xuan, so he had to take it seriously.
Shortly after Xu Zhuo left, a black wind whistled over. After entering the Ice and Snow Palace, it landed and turned into a charming woman in black. Although she was beautiful, she had two fangs on the corner of her mouth, like a vampire in the legend of the West.
"Hey~, someone has actually come here? It's so clean inside and outside? What a strange thing? Could it be that a believer came to visit again?" The charming woman in black looked around and sneered, "You have been dead for so many years, and there are so many loyal believers. I am really envious of my sister!"
"But, Sister Dian Yi, you fell in ancient times and your true body was dead, but the true spirit actually escaped. But where did your true spirit go? It made my sister search hard and unable to find it." The charming woman in black sighed, "Sister, my greatest wish in life is to capture your true spirit and refine you into a slave. What a pity!"
"But now, sister, I'm awake. I'm going to take over your territory. Sister Dian Yi, you know in the underworld, so don't blame me?" The charming woman in black sneered, her laughter was very creepy, and then her delicate body twisted and turned into a black wind again.
Although she saw the damage under the statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess and the restoration of the later repairs, she didn't take it seriously. She just thought it was repaired by believers when they came to worship. As believers, believers who can really come up must be extremely pious and can do anything disgusting.
"What are these untouchables who believe in the snow goddess? Humph, the snow goddess has long fallen, and there has been no miracles for you for thousands of years. What do you still believe in her? Come and worship my black witch goddess!" The charming woman in black turned into a black whirlwind and circled at the residence of the tribe at the foot of the mountain. "I will conquer you one by one, let you untouchables all kneel at the feet of this goddess and lick it! Well, start from this tribe with the largest population, and the plague will come to me!"
The charming woman in black turned into a black whirlwind and walked around the most populous tribe at the foot of the mountain, sowed countless seeds of plague, and then left with a slight smile. Everyone in the tribe was sleeping soundly, but no one could hear her laughter.
This is a tribe with a population of more than 30,000. Women are respected because they are far away from civilization and live in this bitter and cold place for generations, and are still matriarchal society. In fact, at the foot of this mountain, the believers of the ice and snow goddess almost always regard women as respected, and probably believe in goddesses. Women are born with higher status. Women can give birth, and men will not reproduce, so their status is naturally low.
In this tribe, 80% of people were sick overnight and started to have high fever. They became severely ill and fell into a coma, which immediately made the entire tribe panic.
"Oh my God, what should I do! My good daughter, wake up, wake up!" A family, the mother hugged her unconscious daughter and cried and shouted. Her husband came in with a bowl of hot water, and was immediately scolded by the woman. "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. Yesterday's words were so disrespectful to the Ice and Snow Goddess. Now, the goddess is here to punish us!"
The husband muttered, "It's not that serious. I just said a few bad words from the Ice and Snow Goddess. The goddess has not shown any miracles for thousands of years. Maybe it's no longer in our world. Besides, it's not our family who say bad words from the Goddess. Why are others okay?"
"Others are fine?" The woman looked at her husband like an idiot, and said with a grudge, "You are a pig-brained or a bull-brained. Why are you so stupid? You have known to go hunting in the wild all day long. Go out and see how many families have not suffered from this plague! They are all you, lowly men, you don't know how to respect the Ice and Snow Goddess. Now, the Ice and Snow Goddess have brought down the plague to punish you! But, goddess, if you want to punish, punish those lowly men who don't respect you, why does it affect my dear daughter!"
The last sentence is a sad cry to the sky, which is like crying when hearing it, and sad when seeing it.
The husband didn't believe it, so he ran out to see other families. It turned out that as his wife said, almost every household was infected with the plague, and he was panicked at the moment.
That's a plague. In this primitive tribe that lacks medical treatment and medicine, being attacked by the plague means extermination of the clan.
The chief of the tribe immediately summoned the senior officials to discuss matters, and all women and men were not qualified to participate, and they were not even qualified to listen.
"What do you think of?" The chief is an old lady, in her eighties and nineties, and she is still energetic. She is respected and always has a word in the tribe. Even if she is in a meeting now, she is still majestic and awe-inspiring. Other women are depressed and dare not look at her too much.
Of course, this is not all senior executives. Some female senior executives are unable to come to participate because of plague, fever or coma at home.
"I guess it's because there are too many people in our tribe who are disrespectful to the Ice and Snow Goddess, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Ice and Snow Goddess and imposed a plague as a minor punishment." A fat fat woman sat down like a pile of meat mountain said.
"Then according to your opinion, we don't have to pay attention to it. Just fight for a while, and the plague will be gone?" Someone suspiciously retorted.
The fat middle-aged woman nodded and said seriously: "That's it. That's what I mean. As we all know, the Ice and Snow Goddess is very kind-hearted and will never destroy our entire tribe just because of this little thing. Well, it's probably just to scare us."
"Don't take it lightly. I think we still have to organize people and visit the Ice and Snow Temple as soon as possible. Well, the tribute must be abundant, and you must satisfy the Ice and Snow Goddess!" said another female backbone.
A woman in a cloak and a black hat sits opposite her, with a sharp voice and shouts loudly: "I object!"
"Oh? Please give me a reason!" The elderly chief looked at the cloaked woman and nodded, so that she could have something to say and not be afraid.
The cloaked woman cleared her throat and said, "That's right. It's really thousands of years since the Ice and Snow Goddess has not shown any miracles. It's really an unknown whether she is still there. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Things are very urgent. If the Ice and Snow Goddess is really gone, then we have spent a lot of time, huge amount of financial resources and material resources to climb to the peak of tens of thousands of meters. We can freeze people to death. Even if we worship the sky and the earth are dark, what's the use of?"
"What should I do? Here is the Goddess of Ice and Snow. If we don't ask her, are there any other gods who can ask for help?" a woman asked.
The cloaked woman coughed dryly and said in a loud voice: "Don't say, there are really gods next to her. I heard that on the hillside five hundred miles away from our tribe, a temple of the Black Witch Goddess appeared. The goddess inside was quite effective. Recently, miracles have been revealed. If we go to worship her, we will definitely save the tribe members from dire straits."
"The Black Witch Goddess? I haven't heard of it, and I know that the name is very evil. Maybe it is an evil god. How can we believe in an evil god?" Some woman objected.
"It's all the time for life and death, what can't be believed? As long as the Black Witch Goddess can save our tribe, even if she is a devil, I am willing to respect her as my master!" The cloaked woman scolded her harshly, looking like a righteous and awe-inspiring image that she could do anything for her tribe.
For a time, there was a debate in the chamber about continuing to believe in the goddess of ice and snow, or changing into the sect and joining the goddess of the black witch.
Although women are in power and have a high status here, they still cannot escape the rut of three women playing one. What's more, there are more than ten women in the hall. For a moment, chattering, even louder than the most prosperous and lively vegetable market, which made the chief almost go crazy.
