If the pine forest in front of Lingjiu Palace, the main gate of Lingjiu Palace, and the main hall of Lingjiu Palace are taken as a central axis, then there are three stone palaces strung along this line.
The three stone palaces at the back have the same style, and non-members of the Vulture Palace cannot tell their purpose.
In fact, they are all dormitories for people to live in.
Child Elder lived in the third sleeping hall near the mountain behind.
In the east wing of the dormitory, a mature woman woke up from sitting cross-legged, her brows furrowed and she looked very unhappy. She curled her fingers and flicked to the side, and a burst of energy hit an object shaped like a ruler hanging two meters away.
"When..." The chime sounded melodiously.
Not long after, a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked in gently, bowed down and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty."
Child Elder's old voice sounded: "Mei Jian, Grandma seemed to have heard a wolf howling from the mountain just now in Dingzhong. After dawn, you take the Luan Tian tribe and go up the mountain to kill it, lest it come in and eat people in the dark!"
"
"Yes, grandma." Mei Jian bowed again.
Child Elder waved her hand and said, "Well, let's go out." Then she closed her eyes again.
Mei Jian did not dare to disturb the master's practice anymore, so he quietly exited the east room.
…
Li Jiang had thought that his roar would alarm Tong Lao, but he never thought that Tong Lao would label him a "wolf".
At this time, the wolf was curled up in the ice room and sleeping soundly.
He was too tired last night, not physically but mentally. The main reason was because he thought too much.
What he thought about the most was, if there really was a way to cultivate immortality, wouldn't Pindao be able to do it in one step? At that time, he had the urge to go down the mountain and turn the Vulture Palace upside down!
It is professional to touch the gold and move the mountains, to remove the ridges and create hills and poor roads.
But thinking of his unknown opponent, his reason forced him to calm down. Killing Tong Lao was enough, but there were so many other women? He couldn't kill them all together.
Why don't we wait? The ruins can't escape there. Wait until Xu Zhu becomes the palace master and try to trick him again. He doesn't want to be the palace lord anyway, so why don't he give it to me. Then, hehe... let them see what it means to be an infrastructure maniac.
magic!
Feeling anxious about gains and losses, he gnawed three meat buns shabbily, sipped half a bottle of wine, and then fell asleep.
…
Behind Mei Jian were a dozen sisters from the Luan Tian tribe, all panting and dripping with sweat.
The road was too difficult to walk, with many places going straight up and down, with no place to stay. With their excellent martial arts skills, they could only use their hands and feet to cut through the ice and climb ropes.
A woman looked at the top of the mountain, which was still dozens of feet high, and muttered: "Sister Mei Jian, did the Lord hear wrongly? Are there any wolves that can climb to such a high place? We are almost exhausted from climbing.
Already...
Mei Jian turned back, pursed her lips and smiled, scolding: "Xian'er, don't talk nonsense..." After talking about the girl named Xian'er, she looked around at the other women and encouraged: "I know everyone is tired, but
The top of the mountain is right in front of us. As long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to reach it before noon."
"Yes, Sister Mei Jian." The women in Lingjiu Palace are well-trained and can complete tasks without compromise even if they feel dissatisfied.
…
Li Jiang, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, tilted his head towards the outside of the cave, and pricked up his ears.
There was a whistling wind outside, but there was a vague sound of someone's voice.
Li Jiang grabbed the gown beside him and put it on, climbed out of the corner and lay down at the entrance of the cave, looking down.
The dense and falling snow blocked his sight, making it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
However, although he did not see anyone, he was sure that someone was going up the mountain, and there were quite a few of them.
Li Jiang was even sure that the target of these people was not him. Why? Because they were chirping and panting, and they didn't look like they were about to ambush the enemy. Otherwise, wouldn't they be trying to arouse the enemy?
Uh... Li Jiang looked around at his situation and looked a little embarrassed. It seemed like he had no place to escape!
what to do?
There was still time to run away, but leaving a hole would definitely not work. There was a hole dug on the top of a lonely mountain. Anyone who was not blind could see it, and anyone who was not a fool would know that someone had stayed here.
Li Jiang's mind raced, "Yes!"
He visually measured the size of the hole, quickly turned back into the hole, then took out his long knife and started digging into the ice.
Yuanyang's long knife is extremely sharp, cutting ice cubes like a hot knife cutting through butter. It didn't take long to cut out an ice cube that was two meters long, one meter wide and one meter thick.
Li Jiang pushed it to block the entrance of the hole. He was not nervous at the moment, but extremely grateful for his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He had to dig every hole to be square and meticulous, otherwise he would just cry without tears.
Well, it’s a little bigger, and Jiuyang Zhenqi can be used as a knife, it’s easy to use!
They still had a while to come up, hoping that the heavy snow in the sky could cover up the gap in the door.
…
Mei Jian and a woman pulled each other and finally reached the top of the snow mountain.
This place is very small and can be seen at a glance. Mei Jian looked disappointed and shouted to the sisters waiting below: "Don't relax, everyone, maybe the wolf has gone somewhere else, spread out and look for it again."
Be careful when you step on it, it’s very windy here, if you don’t step firmly you will be broken into pieces!”
"Yes!" The girls at the top of the peak searched separately.
Li Jiang's pointed ears twitched suddenly, as if he heard the word "wolf"? Is there a wolf here?
The women at the foot of the peak walked far away, and a delicate voice came from the top of the mountain: "Sister Mei Jian, we have to use ropes to get up. Even if the wolf has four legs, it will definitely not be able to get up."
Another gentle voice sounded: "Xiaojie, the Lord said that there are wolves, but there are wolves, but this wolf is cunning and ran away after listening to our voices from a distance."
"Well, I know, Mei...Sister Jian. It's...it's so cold here, why don't we go down there." There was a cold and trembling voice as he gritted his teeth.
Mei Jian said angrily: "Who told you not to practice the Xuan Bing Technique seriously? You're fine now..."
"Hmm, I won't be lazy anymore. Let's go, go!" Xiaojie urged.
The two women climbed down the rope again.
Suddenly, a cross wind blew, the rope swayed, and then the two women were smashed against the mountain like candied haws strung together.
Li Jiang, who was snickering, immediately froze his smile and quickly put his hands on the ice door.
The position where the two women hit him was his door. If he didn't resist, they would definitely crash into the door.
Two Lin sisters fell from the sky, but Li Jiang had no luck in accepting them.
The skill of Mei Jian was trained by Child Elder herself. After a brief panic, she immediately came back to her senses and reached out to move her hand to the side of her waist. In the flash of light, the sword was unsheathed with a "choking" sound.
She gripped the sword tightly and pierced the mountain.
The gravity of the two women plus the force of the wind caused her sword to penetrate halfway through with a "swipe", and her body stabilized accordingly.
Xiaojie also followed suit, panting on Mei Jian's head, and said happily: "Sister Mei Jian, I'm lucky to have you!"
Li Jiang, who was inside the ice, was also happy because the sword edge was only an inch away from piercing the one-meter-thick ice door.
There is no resistance at the tip of the sword. Someone like Mei Jian who practices swordsmanship regularly will definitely feel it, and then he will be exposed.
What should we do then? Is it possible to invite two women in as guests?
An hour later, more than a dozen women slowly left, and Li Jiang escaped the "wolf-killing" operation launched by Lingjiu Palace.
