A Sword Breaks the Path of Life and Death

The environment here is somewhat similar to the small valley where Danlin lives. It is not cold, but warm like spring.Moreover, there are large areas of lush greenery growing here, surrounding an open space in the center.

There is also living water gushing out of the open space, forming a clear spring pool.

"What, no more..."

As soon as she came here, the girl in the purple shirt looked at the center of the flowerbed, but when she saw that there was no golden calendula silver plate next to the spring pool, only an old and weathered earth pit was left, and her face turned pale for a while.

Chapter 29 Aster

Although he had expected it, Su Che still frowned upon seeing this scene.

Shouldn't the body of nephrite jade really be a golden calendula silver plate? ?This is too mysterious, a little flower demon with bad character, and the background is so big.

And since it is such a noble elixir, why is the flower demon so bloodthirsty, and will eat people the first time I see him.

There is also a doubt that it is extremely difficult to transform spiritual medicines, even if it is relatively easy like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, they basically have no fighting power after transforming, but their escape speed is significantly improved.

For example, Su Che and Shixiu, the Zhiren Zhima who met in the Great Wilderness area, really have to follow the nine realms of cultivation.

And the flower demon nephrite is obviously different from them, she can practice normally.When Su Che met her at the age of nine, she was in the first realm; when she met again in the Blood God Cave, she was already in the late second realm.

The last time I saw it in Wanyue Palace, Nephrite Jade was already the strength of the third realm, and it could be said that it was only slightly slower than Su Che, which was already an exaggerated speed.

In all respects, nephrite jade does not look like an elixir.

Oh, by the way, since the purple shirt girl said that the calendula silver plate must be more than 5000 years old to be effective for her family's illness; this means that the nephrite jade is at least [-] years old, but Su Che doesn't know how to look at it. not like.

Nephrite herself once said that she is a natural goblin born and raised in that barren mountain, no matter how you look at it, she will not exceed a thousand years old, at most a few hundred years old.This still includes the time when she was not transformed.

"No, no..." The girl in the purple shirt was shaky, as if she had lost all hope at once.

Su Che was a little surprised, but still supported her, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that only Jinzhanyinpan can save your Lord?"

The girl turned pale and nodded.

Su Che's brows furrowed even tighter. He took the girl forward and went to the pit beside the spring pool to check.

This pit is not big, it is about the width of a palm that Su Che spreads out. Its shape protrudes out like a small crater. It seems that some plant has been pulled out from here; Get up.

Crucially, this soil pit was obviously not formed in the near future. There were even some signs of weathering on the outer edge of the soil layer. Su Che used a little strength to break off a small piece of dry and hard soil from the top.

This is when there is a water source nearby, and I don't know how many years ago this pit was formed.

"Before you came, did your lord say that there must be a golden calendula silver plate here? It seems that it disappeared a long time ago."

The girl was a little confused, just nodded, "It's here, it's always here, even if it escapes, it will fly back in the end, this is the most suitable place for the growth of golden calendula."

"But the status quo is that it is no longer there. Do you know how it left?" While asking, Su Che tentatively asked: "Is it possible that it has left the Jade Girl Peak?"

The girl stared at the dirt pit, "How could it be possible to leave, the Jade Girl Peak is bound and will not let it leave. Unless Jinzhan Silver Plate has died, it will be turned into a seed, and it will drift away with the wind..."

"But it's only over 5000 years old, and it can live for another 5000 years. Why did it die..."

The girl murmured, the whole person was very incredible.

When Su Che heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then his vest felt a little chilly. The person next to him might not be in the same era as him.

After being silent for a while, Su Che said: "Let's go, let's go back to the mountain road first, and slowly find a way for your family's illness."

The girl in the purple shirt did not object. She took the initiative to hold Su Che's hand with some fear, and left here with Su Che.

Before Su Che left, he picked up a little clean water from the spring pool at will, saying that he could quench his thirst on the way.

During the process of walking back, the girl was always in that absent-minded state, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Su Che asked, "What's your name?"

"Aster, this is the name your Majesty gave me." The girl muttered to herself.

"Well, Aster, don't worry, you go back first and tell your Majesty everything."

Aster turned to look at Su Che, her eyes a little confused, "Aren't you going back with me?"

Su Che didn't see any abnormality on the surface, "I still have things to do, so I won't be with you."

"But you've helped me a lot, and I haven't asked your Majesty to reward you. And those elixir you asked for..." Shiwan looked at Su Che with an almost pleading look.

Su Che sighed secretly, "Okay, then I'll accompany you back."

Aster was a little overjoyed, and even held his hand tighter, she seemed to realize something herself...

The two walked back along the original remote path, all the way to the safe mountain road.

During this process, Su Che was always nervous, because he inexplicably sensed that there seemed to be some sneaky things hidden on both sides of the path. These things were staring at him and seemed to desire every inch of his flesh and blood.

This kind of feeling is only on the return journey. It was peaceful when I came, and I didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Aster Ruo didn't notice anything, she just held Su Che's hand with a heavy heart, and didn't even want to go back with the small medicine hoe.

It was not until he walked back to the mountain road and stepped on the snow that Su Che breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sky is densely covered with clouds, and the north wind is gradually rising. It seems that a new round of snow is about to sweep.

Su Che turned her head to look at Aster, she pointed her finger to the top of the mountain, "It's just above, we walk along the avenue, and we can see the palace of the king. The buildings there are gorgeous and magnificent, and it is easy to recognize."

"Okay." Su Che was relieved. This coincided with his original route. As long as there were no accidents, he should be able to see the mountain temple.

The higher the two of them went, the harder the wind and snow became. Even if Su Che opened the protective shield to resist, he had to be careful to identify the direction so as not to accidentally step out of the safe area.

There was nothing strange about Aster, nor did it harm Su Che, she just stayed with him all the time.

However, it seemed to be affected by the outside temperature, and her warm palm gradually cooled down.

When she was halfway up the mountain, Aster suddenly started muttering, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Su Che, clear Che." He didn't hide it.

"Brother Su Che, can I ask you one thing?"

"What do you mean first?" Su Che swept the snow from his eyebrows.

"I'll give you this medicine hoe. If one day, you find a golden calendula silver plate outside, can you help me get it back? Your Majesty is ill, very ill, and needs this medicine for treatment. "

Chapter 30 Temple Guardian Beast

After pondering for a while, Su Che shook his head slightly.

Aster was a little anxious, "I will give you a lot of elixir, and your lord will also give you a lot of rewards."

Su Che still shook his head, "It's not about the reward. After so many years, maybe that spirit medicine has transformed. In that case, I won't be able to kill her and use it to save your lord."

"How is this possible?" Ziwan thought it was Su Che's prevarication.

"It's possible, I won't lie to you." Su Che walked forward step by step.

Aster also walked forward step by step, and as she walked, her tears fell in large drops, dripping on the snow, splashing out of puddles, and making a very subtle, slapping sound~

Su Che was not soft-hearted. He knew very well what he could agree to and what he could not agree to.

"Can't you really agree?" she choked out.

"No." Su Che said as he put the small medicine hoe back into the medicine basket in her hand.

But as soon as Su Che put it back, Ziwan took out the medicine hoe again, "I'll give it to you, it's useless for me to keep it. If you keep it in your hands, maybe one day you'll change your mind?"

Before Su Che refused, Ziwan wiped her tears and continued: "This is my only wish, I dare not ask you to do anything, just accept it."

Seeing that Su Che still refused to agree, Ziwan took the initiative to let go of his hand and put the medicine hoe into his palm.

Su Che looked down at Aster, she forced a smile, "Let's go, it'll be there soon."

Su Che shook his head, and finally chose to move on.

The wind and snow got bigger and bigger, and Aster just followed Su Che and didn't have any physical contact with him anymore.

......

When he vaguely saw the outlines of some buildings on the mountain, Su Che was refreshed, and he recited a poem, "Silver World, Yu Qiankun, and Kunlun is faintly connected in the middle. If you go down to the third watch, it seems Fill up the Jade Emperor Gate."

Su Che turned to look at Aster, "That's it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Che suddenly realized that Aster was gone!

Just a moment ago, he could still feel that this little man was beside him, following him step by step.

The Qingyan Sword was immediately unsheathed, and Su Che frowned, holding the sword in his hand, turning around vigilantly little by little.

But there was nothing behind him, only the footprints that came along the way, gradually covered by the wind and snow.

It is worth noting that there is only one footprint, which belongs to Su Che and extends to his feet.As for Aster's smaller footprints that have disappeared, it seems that she never existed...

Su Che looked at his left hand in disbelief. The small black medicine hoe was still there. It was heavy and had a dark metallic luster on its surface. At first glance, it was not ordinary.

what happened? ?Fantasy?

No, with the two gods of the gods, Su Che can see through most of the illusions in the world by touching it.

Su Che stood there, thought for a long time, waited for a long time, and even took the initiative to call Aster's name.

But she never appeared again, as if she no longer existed in this world and this peak.

In the end, Su Che went on the road alone. He still had his destination. He hoped to know what happened to him and who the lord was from the mouth of the superintendent.

......

After a while, Su Che finally saw clearly the "palace" in Ziwan's mouth. What shocked him was that it was clearly a rubble, with broken bricks and tiles buried under the snow, and the solitary stone pillars stood scattered like dead trees. among the ruins.

Only the outermost archway, like the Nantianmen Gate, was still largely intact, but the handwriting on it had long since been blurred. It was the outline of the "building" that Su Che had seen from a distance before.

The ruins of the ruins exude a desolate, desolate, heavy and secluded atmosphere as a whole...

This palace ruin is not on the route that the mountain road leads directly to. The road under Su Che's feet turns a little to the right, and it does not extend directly to the top of the mountain, but leads to an area with strange rocks.

Looking from a distance, Su Che could see a mountain temple sitting high on the rocks.

Although it is not standing on the top of the mountain, and the whole is not grand, it is just a Taoist temple with a simple style, three courtyards, and flying eaves and bucket arches, but the whole exudes a will to suppress this peak~!

Su Che moved forward in the direction of the mountain temple without hesitation, while walking more cautiously.

As the distance got closer, Su Che could gradually see clearly that the top of the temple was covered with blue-black tiles, and the body of the temple was painted with vermilion lacquer.

The plaque directly above the temple gate is engraved with iron paintings and silver hooks inscribed with [Mountain Temple] - three vigorous and powerful ancient immortal inscriptions.

At this moment, the gate of the mountain temple is closed. The most important thing is that there seems to be a huge beast lying down under the eaves and steps in front of the temple!
