Leaving the Thunder Forbidden Zenith, you are faced with the endless snow-capped mountains. The land is covered with ice and snow, and both the distance and the near are a piece of pure white.
The sky was overcast, and occasionally a biting cold wind blew through, turning the exposed skin red from the cold.
The coldness in the snowy area seemed unusual. Tong Yan felt a little chilly at the moment. He couldn't help but stretched out his hands to tighten his clothes and hugged his chest to keep warm.
At some point, a translucent thing floated in the air. Its shape was very similar to a jellyfish in the sea, with countless tentacles fluttering in the direction of the wind.
"What is this?" She tentatively stretched out her hand to grab the nearest one, but it was clear that she didn't touch anything, but its body was like a balloon, flying away as soon as she grabbed it.
"Snow-chasing spirits are pure spirits in the snowy areas. Wherever they appear, there will soon be a blizzard."
"Snowstorm? Then why don't we find a place to hide for a while?"
Gu Yuqi nodded slightly, "Let's go."
Not long after, they found a natural cave. When they went in to observe the layout of the cave, a strong wind began to pick up outside, accompanied by heavy snowfall.
The snow-chasing spirit in the snow ran around with the snowflakes, seemingly loving every piece of white that fell.
As the wind and snow outside grew stronger, the sound of the howling cold wind became more and more chilling.
Tong Yan came to the entrance of the cave and stood, looking at the snow in the sky intertwined with the spiritual bodies, and his thoughts could not help but drift away.
In the past few years in Leijin Zenith, it seemed that he had been completely isolated from the world. I wonder if he had received the message sent to He Zhan. If he had received it, why he had not replied to her even a few words.
Has Shang Xun returned to the sect at this moment, or is he looking for her somewhere?
Huo Qizhi has been in seclusion for several years, and he should have successfully formed the elixir.
...After recalling all the acquaintances, he sighed and changed his position to lean against the stone wall.
That day when she was swept away by the wind, Tong Yan had no way of knowing whether anyone else had ever tried to rescue her. Ji Xing was willing to throw a cassock to her, which was already the end of his kindness. Cheng Siyi was just doing what An ordered, so he had to save himself first in times of crisis.
wrong.
Intellectually, Tong Yan knew there was nothing wrong with them, but emotionally it was hard to avoid feeling a little uncomfortable.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yuqi walked to the entrance of the cave and stood next to her, his eyes locked on the sad face opposite her.
"How long will it take for us to get out of the snowy area? I want to go back to the sect." Tong Yan squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, clenched and unclenched it hard.
"Ten days and a half, maybe even later."
With a snowball in her hand, Tong Yan frowned and said, "It's still so long..."
Gu Yuqi: "If the weather is like today, there will be delays."
Tong Yan remained silent, gathering the snow in his hands again and again, and folding them together to make a small snowman.
I spent some time making the snowman, but before I could appreciate my results, a translucent spirit suddenly entered the snowman.
Just as he was surprised, the snowman suddenly moved, spinning slowly in circles on the snow. The hands stuck with branches on both sides also swayed in small arcs from left to right.
"Is the snowman a spirit or am I blind?"
"The spirit chasing snow has a slight consciousness and likes to possess objects made of snow." Gu Yuqi glanced at her and explained to her.
"Oh..." Tong Yan nodded and stretched out a finger to push the snowman down. He wanted to see if it would stand up, but unexpectedly, after it fell to the ground, it rolled down the small slope.
The snowman rolled too far, and his upper body fell off halfway. Then the Snow Chaser floated out, made a circle in the air, and followed the big group.
Tong Yan couldn't help saying something magical in his heart, and Tong Yan dug his hands into the snow, grabbed a large handful of white snow, and prepared to continue making little snowmen.
Two snowmen quickly took shape under her hands, but after being exposed to the snow for a long time, her hands became a lot colder and her skin turned red from the cold.
Tong Yan subconsciously put his hands together and rubbed them. The next moment, a pair of warm big hands suddenly stretched out and wrapped them around him.
"Don't play when it's cold."
She raised her head and followed her arm, meeting Gu Yuqi's gaze. The temperature in her eyes was higher than the ice and snow outside.
He held her two hands, pulled her up, and led her inside.
"It's windy outside."
After walking for several steps, Tong Yan came back to his senses and wanted to break free from his hand.
Just a few struggling movements were ignored or suppressed by Gu Yuqi.
Tong Yan then found an excuse and said, "What am I doing here? I want to watch the snow outside."
When he walked in, Gu Yuqi lit a fire in the cave, and then sat the person next to him.
"Dry your clothes."
Then he also sat down next to him.
The warmth from the fire dispelled the chill on his body, and as soon as Tong Yan sat down, he felt lazy and didn't want to get up again.
Sitting quietly by the fire, his eyes fell on the blazing man, and he inadvertently lost his focus.
Until a quick step for an unknown amount of time disrupted her thoughts.
Noticing the strange movement outside the cave, the two of them looked at each other, stood up and walked outside at the same time.
The wind and snow outside did not slow down at all, but there was a woman covered in blood in the snow.
She staggered towards the cave, and bright red blood flowed out and dripped on the snow, dyeing the area she passed with dazzling colors.
Because I had run a long way and was injured, I had to rely on my willpower to escape here. Then my feet fell and I fell to the ground. I couldn't get up for a long time.
After Tong Yan and the others came out, she noticed that there were eyes observing her. She raised her head and looked towards the cave, and found the two people standing at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing decorations that were completely different from those in the snowy area, the woman was stunned for a moment. Just when she was about to ask who they were, the sound of pursuing soldiers could be heard behind her.
Regardless of whether the two were monks from outside, the woman gritted her teeth and pushed herself up, asking for help as she ran towards her, "Please help me. They accused me of killing someone and wanted to take me back and execute me."
I don’t want to die, but as long as the two seniors are willing to save me, the little girl is willing to act like a cow and a horse to repay you."
The unique vehicle in the snowy area brought a large group of people into the sight of Tong Yan and Gu Yuqi.
The look of fear and panic on the woman's face became even more obvious. Her eyes looking for help went back and forth between the two of them, and she suddenly knelt down in front of Tong Yan.
"Please, girl, be merciful and save my life. I really don't want to die. That person's death doesn't care about my death. I was wrongly accused."
Tong Yan's face was moved by her words for a moment, and he looked at Gu Yuqi next to him. When he met his gaze, he seemed to be asking whether he should believe it or not, whether to save her or not.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a large group of people dressed in animal furs, approaching continuously. Their aura was overwhelming, and at first glance they seemed to be as ferocious as the woman said.
