The wind whistled in my ears, and the cold air around me penetrated my bones. Even though I had the power of an immortal, I still felt cold.
From time to time, gusts of white wind will sweep past, which is the energy of ten thousand years of coldness. If it touches the body, it can freeze the body and soul in an instant.
Fortunately, the cold wave has dissipated now, and there are not as many cold Ming Gang Qi as before. It only comes occasionally and at a very slow speed. Liu Qiao and the two can easily avoid it with the escape light.
Before walking too far, Han Ming Gang Qi gradually disappeared, replaced by ice picks that were several inches long, like countless raindrops.
Huang Tianhua activated the spell, and the water sparkle basket emitted bursts of clear light, like a round water curtain, protecting the two of them.
Let the countless ice shavings make the light sway for a while, it looks like a thin layer of water curtain, but it is indestructible. It is indeed the magic weapon of the moral true king.
Yang Ren said it was not far away, but in fact he fell thousands of feet before reaching the bottom of the cave.
There is a passage about tens of feet wide. There is no light coming through from the top, but there is no darkness at the bottom of the cave. Everything as far as the eye can see is azure blue ice.
"This passage must have been dug by the trapped immortal before his death. I don't know how long it is. Please be careful and explore carefully." Huang Tianhua lowered his head and said.
Liu Qiao naturally agreed, and the two of them walked slowly along the ice tunnel.
Sure enough, we hadn't gone very far, and in front of us there was an ice room dozens of feet square, and on an ice platform there were strips of Taoist uniforms.
"Has his body already turned away?" Huang Tianhua used his sword to pick up the threads of the Taoist robe and looked through it, but saw no dead bones or rotten flesh, so he couldn't help but turn around in confusion.
The silk strips of the clothes were probably made of extraordinary material. Now, hundreds of years have passed, not only have they not fallen apart and decayed, but they still have a faint fairy light and are spotless.
Liu Qiao then asked the yellow turban warrior to put away the robe. It was not because he wanted the clothes, but because he wanted to go out and set up a tomb.
"There are words on this table!"
Huang Tianhua also had sharp eyes. When Liu Qiao moved his robe, he saw at a glance that there were small letters written on the transparent ice platform.
There was a Taoist poem written on it, and both Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao looked in awe, as if they had some understanding in their eyes.
Below the Taoist poem is the final note:
Ten years of assisting Shang and Tang to replace Xia, ten years of crossing the sea and waves, a hundred years of observing the precepts and cultivating the truth, traveling in the palace of Bi to refine mysteries, Jiazi to understand the innate air...
I have disobeyed the teachings of my teacher, committed anger, ignorance, and evil, and fell deeply into the three evil realms, causing disasters to come to me. Thank you for all the Taoist friends Yuxu who have restrained me in the cold cave to avoid my bad reputation in the future...
There are three treasures sealed in the ice at the bottom of the steps. Yuxu's disciples come to ask for them and take them all.
The poor Taoist will suffer the calamity of the yin fire from the gushing spring. At that time, everything inside and outside will be burned, and no one will be left alive. If he can survive it, he will have the magical power to get out of the cave.
If I can't make it across, I will be left alone in my silk clothes. I hope the two Taoist brothers will have mercy on me and bury me on the island...
"He actually counted the two of us hundreds of years ago. There is such a weird thing!"
Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
Such an expert, even if he knows everything about what will happen hundreds of years before his death, can't he escape the fate of immortality?
According to this inscription, this person has suffered an internal calamity, and now only the silk Taoist uniform is left here. It is obvious that he has not survived the disaster, and his body has been burnt to ashes by the evil fire.
Both Liu Qiao and Huang Tianhua were silent for a long time, their hearts surging secretly, their faces uncertain, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, Huang Tianhua regained his composure, took out his sword and said: "Get the treasure first and go out. The cold cave is not a place to stay for a long time. You should collect the silk strips of his clothes and find a place to bury them later."
After saying that, he slashed down the steps that were about ten feet wide with a sword. His sword was secretly taught swordsmanship by True Monarch Daode. It was not made of ordinary iron and was extremely sharp.
There was a clear sound of "Zheng", and with one strike of the sword, the ice platform was neatly cut into two halves, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
There were a few soft "pops", ice chips flew everywhere, and the cave suddenly became as bright as day.
As expected, there were several objects embedded in the ice platform. At this moment, a strange light appeared in the world, and the cave was filled with brilliant rays of light, illuminating the two people's faces with a fairy spirit.
A green gourd, about a foot long, with green vine leaves on it. Apparently it had been picked from a fairy vine and had not been opened.
A banana leaf fan with two colors of green and red is filled with strange light, like Yin and Yang Tai Chi, and there is a circle of thin whiskers around the fan, which is more dazzling than the gourd fairy energy.
In addition, it is a rotten wooden box with rusty iron pieces inside.
"Huhu..." Suddenly, as soon as the gourd and the precious fan came out of the ice, they immediately shined brightly, turned into rainbow light and were about to fly away.
It's just that the ice cave underneath is so solid that even the owner of the treasure cannot escape from being trapped inside.
Moreover, the corridor is winding and winding. Although the two treasures are beginning to become spiritual, they are still stupid things and have no wisdom. How can they fly out.
It was just two rays of rays of light that collided randomly in the cave, making the ice cave "bang...bang" as loud as thunder, sending ice shards whizzing and ice picks falling, but they did not break the ten thousand-year-old ice wall in the slightest.
The two treasures were both slightly spiritual and seemed unable to be knocked apart, so they paused in the air and activated the magic prohibition on their own. For a moment, a strange light shone brightly, as if they were about to use magical powers.
However, at this moment, Liu Qiao and the others reacted. Huang Tianhua quickly held up the flower basket, and bursts of clear light shone on the two treasures.
The two treasures struggled against each other, but they had not been refined for hundreds of years, and no one had manipulated them. How could they be a match for the magic weapon of the True Monarch of Morality.
After only a moment of stalemate, they were put into the flower basket.
Huang Tianhua didn't wait for Liu Qiao to make a move and pocketed the green gourd first.
Then he picked up the remaining two treasures and said happily: "Master wants the innate gourd. I will keep it first. We can share these two pieces."
"Brother Tianhua Dao makes the decision!"
Huang Tianhua first looked at the precious fan. There was a jade pendant on the end of the fan, engraved with a line of small characters, which read "Wind and Fire Two Qi Yin Yang Dragon Beard Fan".
Then he opened the wooden box, and inside was a half-piece of iron about an inch wide and a foot long, stained with rust.
Seeing a few words written on the wooden box, he couldn't help but said with joy: "Fellow Taoist Yushu, the treasure in this box deserves to be given to you."
Seeing that Liu Qiao was puzzled, he handed the wooden box over. Liu Qiao opened it and saw that there were four words "Jade Pivot Treasure" inscribed on the wooden box.
"You see, the immortal is really powerful. He knew that the two of us came and divided all the treasures, don't you think so?" Huang Tianhua said proudly, twisting the dragon's beard fan in his hand.
This yin and yang dragon beard fan is filled with immortal light. Not only does its material look like innate, but its seventy-two layers of prohibitions are perfect, and it is not even inferior to the treasure of the twelve immortal heads of Yuxu.
The only drawback is that I don't know the spell and can't refine it, but I can only take it back and let the True Lord of Morality cast a spell to cleanse the spell.
Just use the method of Ziyang Cave to refining it. With this material that seems to be an innate thing, the potential is huge.
Moreover, the true teachings of Ziyang Cave cannot be re-refined and are more mysterious than the original ones. Huang Tianhua is confident that the treasure-sacrifice method of Yuxu Palace will not be weaker than the Biyou Palace method.
Liu Qiao remained silent, just twirling the rust on the iron pieces in the box with his hands, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.
But there was nothing to say. Huang Tianhua was the true disciple and had been a Taoist for the longest time. He was considered the senior brother among the group. Liu Qiao naturally did not refute what he said.
Seeing him like this, Huang Tianhua said proudly: "Immortals have great magical powers. I later found out that they have made arrangements for hundreds of years. It is destined to be like this. You go back and study the iron in the box carefully. You can't tell whether it is innate Geng metal or Western gold essence."
A treasure."
The implication is that even if you get this fan, it is said to outsiders that Jiang Shang does not know how to sacrifice and refine the magic ban, and neither do you, let alone have the means to wash away the original ban on it.
Even if there are experts who are willing to use great magic power to refine these prohibitions, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources if you use heretical magic prohibitions to sacrifice this treasure?
As for the iron objects in the box, they are said to be belongings of immortals, so they must be extraordinary. But if they are really treasures, the innate Geng metal has its own spirituality. The moment Ruokai opened the box, he would have turned into a rainbow and flown away.
Moreover, how can any hardware elite be rusty?
It can only be a record of Taoist techniques, which must be stained with blood, or soaked with water, or roasted with fire before the words can be seen. But even if there are Taoist techniques, it is more important than not having a magic weapon.
Taoism requires hard training, is difficult to achieve, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and consumes mana to use. It is not as convenient as a magic weapon, nor is it more powerful.
But looking at the rusty iron piece, it is more likely that it was an object from before the immortal attained enlightenment. He carried it with him as a thought, but in fact it was nothing.
Liu Qiao thought about it for a moment, then put down his anger and no longer cared about the matter. He put away the wooden box with a smile on his face and flew out with Huang Tianhua.
You can't compete with Huang Tianhua. If someone can give you a piece of treasure, even if you give him face, what else can he say?
I went on this trip, fighting skills, searching for treasures, paddling all the way, and finally got an object. Although it may be a waste, it may also be a chance, and I am satisfied.
People still need to learn to be content, and Liu Qiao will be content, and he will also weigh his own weight and do things, so he immediately changes his mentality.
He was smiling as usual and did not show any opinion towards Huang Tianhua because of the treasure matter.
Both of them were satisfied and happily flew out of the cold cave. The cold wind and ice chips were dangerous along the way, but thanks to Huang Tian's basket of water and sparks, they managed to fly out of the cave without any danger.
When Yang Ren and Chang Long saw them coming out, they both breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The cold wave is about to break out. If you don't come out, it will be in danger!"
Seeing that both of them were fine, he asked again: "Did you get the gourd? How was your trip?"
Liu Qiao and his two men briefly explained what happened in the cave and the distribution of the treasures, and everyone was happy.
Chang Long was happy that his master was safe and sound, and he had obtained a wooden box and an iron tool whose origin he didn't know. Finally, he had gained something.
Yang Ren was also happy that he had completed his master's mission and added another treasure to the Ziyang Cave lineage.
Everyone was very happy. With the treasure in their possession, no one dared to delay. It was still Yang Ren who lifted up the clouds and ferried everyone back to Qingfeng Mountain.
————The text of this chapter is finished
In the fifth year of King Taigeng of Shang Dynasty, Jia Kui Day.
There was an ancient sage named Taiwei Yushu, named Guangfa Tianzun, who died in the cold cave of ten thousand feet, and left behind a farewell poem inscribed with a Taoist poem and several treasures.
——"The Biography of Ancient Immortals" written by Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty
Taiwei entered silence and left a poem:
If your delusion is no longer strong, how can you really have hope?
When cultivating the original self-nature within the body, how can delusion and enlightenment come before and after it?
Enlightenment means becoming righteous in an instant, while confusion leads to eternal tribulations.
If you can combine one thought with true cultivation, you can wipe out all the evil stains in the sand.
