The spike pierced the ground violently, not only poking a big hole, but even causing the ground to crack.
"What idiot dares to attack my woman? You want to die, don't you?"
Xia Tian hugged Yang Shan, who was just recovering from the shock, and shouted coldly.
Yang Shan's pretty face turned pale. It was indeed a critical moment just now. If Xia Tian was even half a second later, she might be pierced by the sharp thorn.
"This is the forbidden city of the Snow Mountain Sect. No one is allowed to break in without the leader's token!"
The sharp thorn was retracted quickly, and a voice replied: "This time it is just a warning. If you dare to do this again, don't blame me for being rude."
Xia Tian said unhappily: "If you dare to attack my little little sheep wife, I will still be rude to you."
"If you talk too much, I will teach you a lesson!"
That voice was obviously quite annoyed.
After shouting and scolding, the spike flashed out again, this time it was aimed at Xia Tian.
"That's it?"
Xia Tian stretched out his hand casually, and then Pu pinched the spike lightly, "You still want to be rude to me?"
The man tried to take back the spike, but unfortunately no matter how hard he pulled, the spike never moved in Xia Tian's hand.
"Let go! Let me go!"
The man was obviously a little annoyed, "You'd better not anger me, otherwise, you will only die more miserably."
Xia Tian found it a little funny: "You can't even take back your own weapons, yet you dare to say harsh words here."
"If you want to take it, then take it!"
The man snorted coldly, and suddenly an iron chain was thrown from a distance, quickly entangling Xia Tian and Yang Shan together: "It would be better if you die!"
Only then did Yang Shan realize that the spike was actually a pointed medicine hoe with an iron chain connected to the end.
"If that's all it takes, why don't you commit suicide?"
Xia Tian was quite disdainful of this, "I'm not interested in starting a fight with a loser."
"Come, let me see who you really are, how arrogant you are!"
The man sneered and suddenly pulled the chain, trying to pull Xia Tian and Yang Shan up.
However, Xia Tian did not give him this chance and broke the iron chain with a gentle tug.
"Damn! Hateful! Ridiculous!"
The man shouted angrily, and then he saw countless snow monkeys rushing over with their teeth and claws open: "I will arrest you now and teach you a lesson!"
Those snow monkeys, like the tide, come and go as quickly as they come.
But Xia Tian and Yang Shan remained motionless and unscathed.
Zheng Ziqi, who was watching the fun on the sidelines, was dragged away by these snow monkeys before he even had time to scream.
"Husband, let's go over and have a look too."
Yang Shan looked at the direction where the snow monkey disappeared and said to Xia Tian.
"OK."
Xia Tian hugged Yang Shan and reached the end of the ditch with just a slight jump.
...At the end of the ditch bottom, there is a long and narrow crack, about 17 or 18 meters long, with a live spring in the middle.
The spring water gushes endlessly, but the color of the water is like blood, bright and dazzling.
Countless snow monkeys grow near the spring, arranged densely and spreading out very regularly.
There is a figure hanging on the ice wall beside the crack.
When she got closer, Yang Shan saw the man clearly and found that he was a skinny old man with messy beard and hair and shabby clothes.
The old man's hands and feet were embedded in the ice wall by huge iron nails. Only his head could move, and the iron chain was biting in his mouth.
"Well, how did he talk?"
When Yang Shan saw this scene, she couldn't help but be a little curious.
Xia Tian said casually: "Little Lamb Wife, sometimes you don't need to use your mouth to speak."
Yang Shan was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of a magical skill, which is "ventriloquism".
"Boy, you look ordinary."
The old man on the ice wall stared at Xia Tian with his dry and cloudy eyes without blinking, and made a sound even though he didn't open his mouth.
"You are just ordinary, but I am the most handsome guy in the world."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "Your hands and feet are already useless. If your eyes are useless, it's better to forget them."
The old man on the ice wall snorted coldly: "You are a wild and rebellious person. Being mediocre is already the highest reward for you."
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
Xia Tian showed an impatient look: "Old man, you tried every possible means to lure me here. What exactly do you want to do?"
When Xia Tian said these words, Yang Shan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although she still didn't know the real purpose of Xia Tian's coming to the snow mountain, their arrival in this snow ditch was indeed a series of unexpected events.
If they had not gone out for a late-night snack, they would not have known anything about Snow Monkeys, nor would they have seen the pony-tailed young man being poisoned to death, nor would they have known about the relationship between Snow Monkeys, the Bai family and the Snow Mountain Sect.
He would not be interested in the source of the snow monkeys, nor would he suddenly come to the snow-capped mountains and go directly into this deep ditch... to meet the old man on the ice wall in front of him.
However, Xia Tian never lies, nor does he tell lies without aim.
Since he said this, it must be the case.
Of course, Yang Shan believed in Xia Tian unswervingly. At this time, she became vaguely alert, and her beautiful eyes stared at the surroundings without any trace.
"I led you here?"
The old man on the ice wall sneered and showed a ridiculous expression: "You broke into this place without permission, and then attacked the snow monkeys, almost killing them all. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had no choice but to stop it.
of."
Xia Tian said with disdain: "Do you think you did it flawlessly, or do you think I am as stupid as you?"
"I really don't understand what you are talking about."
The old man on the ice wall looked indifferently, "I am already so disabled and have been trapped here for nearly forty years. I don't even know who you are. How can I lead you here? If I really have such ability,
I myself have long since escaped from trouble."
Zheng Ziqi also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said to Xia Tian: "What this old man said makes sense. Doctor Xia, I think you must be overthinking it."
"Idiots often like to think they are smart, and they always think their plans are flawless."
Xia Tian yawned lazily, "But forget it, I just came here to see where these snow monkeys came from, and to deal with them by the way. I didn't have time to talk to you."
The old man on the ice wall was silent for two seconds, and then said in a cold voice: "These snow monkeys all emerged from the Hidden Moon Spring.
The Hidden Moon Spring is a spiritual spring, but the spiritual energy that emerged in recent years has changed, causing it to gradually overflow."
"Then why does the spiritual energy in Yin Yue Spring change?"
Yang Shan asked: "There must be a reason, right?"
"Of course there is a reason."
A meaningful smile appeared on the face of the old man on the ice wall, "These snow monkeys are not as simple as you think. They are related to Hidden Moon Spring, Snow Mountain Sect and a big secret that you cannot solve alone.
"
As he spoke, he suddenly paused and said sarcastically: "Also, I have to remind you that the moment you stepped into this place, the Snow Mountain Sect had already received the message, and the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were very quick.
It’s coming soon.”
"Well, Divine Doctor Xia, why don't we withdraw first?"
Zheng Ziqi's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he thought of some bad experience, and showed a fearful expression, "The people from the Xueshan Sect Law Enforcement Hall are extremely scary..."
thing."
Zheng Ziqi was speechless for a moment.
"Husband, there is something wrong with this spiritual spring. There seems to be something under the spring water."
At this time, Yang Shan pointed to the spiritual spring and pulled Xia Tian: "What's coming out doesn't look like spiritual energy."
Yang Shan has lived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain all year round and has experienced what pure spiritual energy is. After being washed by Xia Tian, her senses have become several times more sensitive. She has been staring at the spring just now, especially the surging red ones.
The spring water, as well as the snow monkeys that formed from time to time, finally allowed her to capture a moment of dissonance.
Xia Tian moved his eyes over, and saw something strange at a glance, and murmured to himself: "This is not a spiritual spring, but a rift in time and space. Of course, what comes out is not spiritual energy, but the breath from another world. It's just that
It’s just mixed with some spiritual energy.”
"Time and space rift?"
Yang Shan couldn't help but remember that there were some strange phenomena on Qingfeng Mountain last time, which was also caused by a space-time vortex.
Xia Tian said in an understatement: "Little Lamb Wife, you are right.
In fact, space-time rifts and space-time vortices are the same phenomenon, but the intensity is different."
"Then...are these snow monkeys coming from another world?"
Yang Shan couldn't help but ask: "Will there be anything else or someone coming?"
"probably not."
Xia Tian shook his head and said lightly: "This crack is too small, and it's a long time ago. After so many years, it has only leaked some alien breath, and then condensed into this kind of snow monkey, that means what it has become completely
climate."
Yang Shan seemed to understand, but she didn't ask further, as long as Xia Tian understood.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, boy, if you want to pick up girls, you can make up some more advanced lies."
When the old man on the ice wall heard Xia Tian's words, he couldn't help but sneer: "What about time and space rifts and time and space vortexes? They sound quite advanced, but it's a pity that they are all bullshit. They are just a glimpse of the aging and mutated spiritual spring.
"
Xia Tian ignored him, and Yang Shan naturally wouldn't even look at him again.
"Husband, can this be solved?"
Yang Shan had seen Xia Tian use a silver needle to directly resolve the space-time vortex.
Xia Tian replied casually: "Little sheep wife, don't worry, it's just a shot."
"How ridiculous."
The old man on the ice wall laughed loudly, "This spiritual spring mutated hundreds of years ago. The heads of the Snow Mountain Sect have spent all their efforts and failed to seal it. Who do you think you are?"
"Don't think that because you are old and disabled, I won't beat you."
Xia Tian said somewhat unhappily.
The eyes of the old man on the ice wall were full of disdain, and he made a kind suggestion: "Boy, you have already touched the bottom line of the Snow Mountain Sect by breaking in here. If you want to survive, you might as well find a way to put me down.
Maybe everyone still has a chance to survive, otherwise you will be dead when the people from the Law Enforcement Hall arrive."
At this time, Xia Tian had already taken out the Sea Ding Needle and stabbed it towards the spiritual spring.
"Don't do anything stupid!"
The old man on the ice wall suddenly changed his color, "That spiritual spring is intelligent. If you anger it, it will be a disaster!"
Unfortunately, it's too late.
A stream of spiritual energy, like water, condensed in front of the needle, and then brought all the spiritual energy in the bottom of the ditch to the spiritual spring.
