Saint Cardinal Cardinal gave out a soft smile again, and walked around to the Taoist boy, saying softly, "Children, do you know where Hanyou Pond is?"
Your little Taoist boy stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head to look at the Saint Cardinal, and then nodded slightly.
"ah?
It’s great that you can hear me!”
Saint Cardinal Cardinal asked quickly, "Then do you know how to get to Hanyoutan?"
The Taoist boy did not directly answer Hongque's question, but turned his head, his eyes resting on Yang Xuan for a moment, and then pointed towards a small road to the side.
"Can you find Hanyou Pond if you follow this path?"
Saint Cardinal asked again.
But this time, the little Taoist boy stopped talking and continued to lower his head and clean the fallen leaves on the ground unhurriedly.
Hongque was confused and looked at the little Taoist boy and then at Yang Xuan.
I was about to ask again, but before I could open my mouth, the little Taoist boy walked down the steps with a broom.
"Oh, wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Qingcheng Mountain is actually not just one mountain, but consists of more than a dozen large and small peaks.
Only part of the main peak is open to tourists, so many people take it for granted that Qingcheng Mountain actually has only one peak.
After reaching the top of the main peak, there will be dozens of spider web-like paths leading to various peaks in all directions.
But these trails are never open to tourists.
At this time, Yang Xuan and Saint Hongque were walking on one of the bluestone paths leading to these dozens of peaks.
"Hey, why are you grimacing? Is there something wrong?"
Saint Cardinal Cardinal saw Yang Xuan walking aside with a stern look on his face and silent on the road, so she couldn't help but ask.
Yang Xuan said, "Don't you think something was wrong with that little Taoist boy just now?"
"ah?
Something is wrong, except that my ears seem to be a bit back, everything else is fine."
The Saint Cardinal had a nonchalant expression, focusing on the various unknown wild flowers around the trail.
"I always felt that that little Taoist boy had an old-fashioned air about him, which was not at all appropriate for his age."
Yang Xuan opened his mouth to express the doubts in his heart, "His movements, tone, and eyes are all unlike what a seven or eight-year-old child should look like."
"And there's another particularly weird thing. From the moment we entered the mountain gate, we didn't meet anyone on the road except for the old man Niubi who was riding a green bull backwards."
"But the little Taoist boy appeared behind us inexplicably. We are both martial arts practitioners. A big living person suddenly appeared behind us, but neither of us noticed it at the first time. Do you think this is reasonable?
"
After hearing this, the Saint Cardinal suddenly fell into deep thought and said in deep thought, "Listening to what you said, it seems that this is really the case."
"Except for his appearance, that child doesn't seem to look like any other child."
"Oh, no matter what, these Taoist priests are always talkative. Maybe all the kids who grow up here are like this."
"The only thing I'm worried about now is whether the little Taoist boy lied to us. Can we really find Hanyou Pond from this road?"
Yang Xuan raised his head and glanced at a side peak not far away, exhaled a long breath, and said, "I can't care so much anymore. We are both blind now, so let's take one step at a time!"
The two continued to walk along this bluestone path towards another mountain peak.
Still no one was seen on the road. The scenery around them was quite good, but the two of them didn't have the intention to appreciate it at this time.
From the moment you step into the Qingcheng Mountain Gate, everything here exudes an extremely weird atmosphere.
The deserted path, the veteran Qingniu riding a green bull backwards with a bamboo branch in his hand, whose cultivation is obviously unpredictable, but acts as a ticket inspector, and the trail that has no childish characteristics at all except for his childish appearance.
child.
Nothing is normal, it's like falling into a fog, full of unknowns.
The distance from the main peak to the side peak was not too far. The two of them were martial arts practitioners and their foot strength must be much better than ordinary people. It took about two hours to reach the foot of the side peak.
The first impression is that the temperature here is extremely low. The higher you go up the path along the side peak, the lower the temperature becomes.
As we were approaching the top of the side peak, the surface and the surrounding vegetation were actually covered with a layer of white frost.
Judging from the altitude and geographical location of this side peak, as well as the current season, this scene seems very unreasonable.
But for the Saint Cardinal, this is a particularly happy thing.
"It seems that the little Taoist boy didn't lie. Hanyou Pond must be up there, otherwise this place wouldn't be like this."
The Saint Cardinal rubbed her hands excitedly, with an impatient expression on her face.
Yang Xuan looked at the other party's appearance, his expression looked a little strange, and he said lightly, "It's just to take a bath, isn't it worth being so excited?"
Saint Cardinal Cardinal was stunned and said quickly, "Of course I'm excited. You don't know how scary that old monster Chi Yan is. If we are caught up by him, we will both turn into roast pigs."
"As long as I take a bath in Hanyou Pond and suppress the aura of Burning Fire Art in my body, that old monster will never find us even if he has great abilities. Oh, don't talk so much nonsense. Let's go up quickly. Now
Children's time is equal to life for both of us."
Saying this, the Saint Cardinal couldn't wait to trot upward.
Yang Xuan looked at the impatient back of Saint Cardinal from behind, with a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself, "Really?"
As the two of them got closer to the summit, the temperature continued to drop.
When we were about a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, the surroundings were already covered in ice and it was freezing, as if we were in a world of ice and snow.
Walking on the path that was covered with a thick layer of ice, I walked around to the top and looked down. Sure enough, I saw a pool about the size of a basketball court.
The water pool is very strange. It is surrounded by ice and snow, but the water pool is not frozen. If you look closely, you will find that the water pool is slowly undulating.
"Hanyou Pond, really Hanyou Pond!"
The Holy Maiden Cardinal cheered and couldn't wait to spread her body and flew downwards, followed closely by Yang Xuan.
As soon as the two people landed next to the Hanyou Pond, they felt a bone-chilling coldness coming over them, as if they had fallen into the Nine Nether Ice Cave.
Fortunately, both of them are martial arts masters, and the true energy in their bodies can withstand the cold air. If they were ordinary people or people with insufficient cultivation, they would be frozen into ice sculptures in an instant when they get here.
