The villain is cold and attractive

The sky is faintly pale, and the darkness is about to be replaced by light. At the time when day and night alternate, the top of the snow-covered mountain is as beautiful as an illusion.

Jiang He followed Shen Qingxiao to a large flat land. The cedar trees gradually thinned out along the way, and finally there was only this deep and long canyon in front of him, which suddenly opened up and was surrounded by mountains. The frozen lake was surrounded by mountains. A thick layer of solid ice formed on the surface of the lake. , There was a faint blue light at the bottom of the ice, silently locking the pure aura in the lake.

This should not be the road to the forbidden area that Xu Wuyou mentioned. There is no blood array she mentioned here, but it is still full of aura and refreshing. Suddenly, Jiang He felt strange.

Shen Qingxiao pointed him in a direction, "Xueyoucao is in the middle of the lake, did you see it?"

Jiang He followed his direction and looked over. At the center of the ice lake where the aura is the most intense, there is a small flat land circled by white mud, with a little green light shining inside. It seems that Xue Youcao should be there, but Shen Qingxiao didn't mean to go to it. To destroy Shen Yuan's life-changing evil formation? What is this going to do?

Shen Qingxiao seemed to have thought of something, and with a downcast smile, he took Jiang He up again and led him onto the clear and cold ice on the lake. Distracted, he didn't ask until Shen Qingxiao brought him close to the Xueyou grass, "Should we pick the Xueyou grass before going to the evil formation arranged by Shen Yuan?"

Shen Qingxiao led him over there, and at this time the two of them had already seen a green grass growing tough and growing in the white mud, with only two or three petals of leaves, long and thin, the color was like emerald jade, the shape was like a gladiolus, but it had no flowers. Except for the translucent and lustrous color, it looks nothing special, just like a small weed on the ground.But this Xueyou grass has survived year after year in this icy world. It is said that its lifespan is longer than that of Jiang He and Shen Qingxiao combined. As the book says, it is within ten feet. , like falling into an ice abyss.

With a flick of Jiang He's fingertips, Shen Qingxiao sent his spiritual power over to help him keep out the cold, Jiang He hurriedly said: "No need, save some energy and get down to business later."

Shen Qingxiao let go of his hand, and then explained to him: "After Shen Xuan was exposed, Shen Yuan may have gone to the formation to guard it, and he was also afraid that his many years of plans would be ruined, although Aunt Qiong is very important to activate the formation. A part of it, but it's not even a ten-thousandth of this formation."

Jiang He knew that going there would be dangerous, Shen Qingxiao said that he also thought about it, "If he is sitting in the formation now, it will be very dangerous for us to go there now, then what are you doing here? Could it be that Xue Youcao is of no use ?”

Shen Qingxiao condensed a sword energy in his hand, squatted down close to Xueyoucao, wrapped his palms with sword energy, and slowly approached Xueyoucao, Jiang He watched intently, a little nervous, but it seemed that he was nervous in vain.

Shen Qingxiao knew how to pluck snowy grass. When he successfully pulled up the snowy grass, there was nothing unusual around him. The only difference was that the spiritual energy under the frozen lake dissipated silently, turning into wisps of spiritual energy that quickly merged into each other. Into the snowy grass.

Shen Qingxiao shook the white mud on the roots of Xueyou grass, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang He's vigilant face, couldn't help laughing, and explained: "Of course there is a monster guarding the spirit treasure here, but it has long been Except for me, don't be nervous."

That's right, this is the third time for Shen Qingxiao to come back to pick snow and grass. Jiang He thought that he was too careless, and a big stone fell from his heart, "That's good."

Shen Qingxiao got up and handed Xueyoucao to him, "Take it."

Jiang He took it in a daze, the Xueyoucao was no longer so cold after being picked, only a little bit cold, not too cold, he really thought that the Xueyoucao could help, "Then now we have to go to Shen Are you destined?"

Shen Qingxiao looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "You don't have to go, we have already found Xueyoucao, and you have done everything you promised me. Next, you just go down the mountain to find Tang'er."

Jiang He frowned and said, "You want to deal with Shen Yuan alone? But your strengths are very different."

"That won't let you go either."

Jiang He asked, "Why?"

Shen Qingxiao didn't want to say more at first, but when he asked, he couldn't help but say, "Because it's too dangerous, and it's my own business."

"What is your own business? Are you blaming me for meddling?" Jiang He felt that he was unreasonable, but when the words came out of his mouth, he later realized that it was indeed the truth, but he still couldn't understand Shen Qingxiao Why draw a line with him at this time.

Seeing that he was getting annoyed, the smile in Shen Qingxiao's eyes deepened, he sighed softly, put his hand on Jiang He's shoulder, and said: "I didn't have you in my plan, no matter sooner or later, I will always be with Shen Qingxiao." Yuan's life and death battle, and now Shen Yuan's formation is almost complete, Shen Xuan has heard from Aunt Qiong that he still needs one last sacrifice to activate the formation, so I have already planned to break into the forbidden area alone, only It was an accident that you were brought to Tianqiong Palace by Shen Yuan first."

In this way, Jiang He was an uncontrollable accident in his premeditated plan. Jiang He should not have appeared on the mountain. Shen Qingxiao might have planned to do these things secretly by himself.

Jiang He still disagreed, "I'm helping you if I have one more person, why not?"

"Believe me, just wait here, okay?" Shen Qingxiao was still unwilling to take him there. He knew that Jiang He was not weak, but it was too dangerous there. Auntie should have been found and sent back to the Temple of Heaven. The condition for offering sacrifices is at least above the level of God Transformation. Shen Yuan has killed so many elders of the Temple of Heaven. Now that several elders have escaped, why is he not afraid that I will be shocked when I hear about this matter? Extra problems? I think Aunt Joan will be his last sacrificial person, so I don't have much time now."

From the beginning to the end, Jiang He had only a half-knowledge. He didn't know the grievances between Tianqiong Palace and Wushuang Palace, let alone the evil formation set up by Shen Yuan and Shen Qingxiao's secret calculations. I don't want to play with him at all.

After figuring out the joints, Jiang He felt an unknown fire rush up in his heart. He glared at Shen Qingxiao, "Then how sure are you that you will succeed?"

Shen Qingxiao didn't lie to him either, "Half and half."

"Really?" Jiang He didn't believe it, after all Shen Qingxiao and him even failed to defeat Shen Yuan.

Shen Qingxiao hesitated for a while, "If you can take advantage of his unpreparedness to take away his achievements for many years, then you should."

"It's too risky." Jiang He wrinkled his face.

Shen Qingxiao smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm just going to see if I can sneak in, if not, I naturally understand that life-saving is the most important thing, then I will escape back, after all, I still owe you a reward .”

"That's right, you haven't given me the best treasure in Wushuang Palace." Jiang He is quite satisfied with this answer, revenge or not, what is more important than life?

"Yes, knowing that you want me to live a good life, how can I let you down?"

This made Jiang He a little embarrassed, "Anyway, you must come back safely!" He clenched his fists, thinking, if he couldn't come back, his reward would be gone, and he was cheated this time in vain.

Shen Qingxiao nodded with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder, "Just stay here, okay?"

Jiang He could do nothing but nod, although he was still quite worried about Shen Qingxiao.

Shen Qingxiao stared at him deeply for a moment, let go of his hand and turned around to leave. Jiang He saw him leaving alone, his heart moved, and he suddenly called him.

"Shen Qingxiao!"

Shen Qingxiao turned around to look at him, raised her eyebrows and asked what he wanted to say.

Jiang He squeezed the Xueyoucao tightly in his hand, his eyes dodged, his heart was beating fast, and he became nervous for no reason, "I, how long am I going to wait here?"

Shen Qingxiao thought for a while, "Wait for the dawn, wait for the sun to rise and then set, if I don't come back, you will go down the mountain, I have already told Ah Liang about everything, if you want something, just tell him."

"I don't want that kind of relic!" Jiang He was in a complicated mood, first subconsciously said angrily, then stared at Shen Qingxiao quietly and muttered, "Say something frustrating."

Shen Qingxiao was stunned, then the corners of his mouth could not be restrained and began to rise, turned back and walked back, Jiang He looked at him solemnly, his eyes could not hide his worry, Shen Qingxiao smiled very satiated, and stretched out his hand towards him, "There is danger , before I leave, can you give me another hug, just to cheer me up?"

Jiang He snorted, and looked at Shen Qingxiao in disbelief, how dare he be poor at this time?

Although he didn't like this kind of atmosphere, his body was already moving one step ahead of his brain, he opened his arms to hug Shen Qingxiao, and soon his waist was firmly encircled by a pair of hands.

"Be careful." Jiang He whispered.

"En." Shen Qingxiao leaned against his ear and answered, his warm breath hit the side of his face with the tips of his ears, and he blushed. He hugged Jiang He tightly, knowing that time was running out and he had to leave , Before he was about to let go, he felt unwilling, and hurriedly chose to do whatever he wanted amidst the entanglement, and whispered in Jiang He's ear: "When I come back, you must still be here."

The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched, so you have to come back within the agreed time, right?

This time Shen Qingxiao didn't stay any longer, and after letting go of the person, he clenched the green bird sword and turned to leave without looking back. Jiang He kept watching behind him until his figure disappeared on the white snow-capped mountains, and he was no longer to be seen, Jiang He He Cai lowered his eyes, looked at the Xueyoucao in his hand, and tried to take a deep breath to calm down.

He wanted to hold back, but Shen Qingxiao was too powerful, whether it was plotting people's hearts or calculating feelings.Not letting him go is to make him care on purpose.

It was already at the end of Yin time, as if in the blink of an eye, the sky dawned, the weather was good today, there was actually a sun, it slowly climbed up from the east, and then moved west a little bit, the shadow was reflected on the ice, no one moved , but the shadow kept moving, and when it was dusk, Jiang He tidied up the snowy grass and put it away, and the lake surface that had been silent for many years was coated with an ambiguous golden light by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Shen Qingxiao hasn't come back yet, it's just that during this day, there have been many spiritual power fluctuations in the far distance of this forbidden area, which even affected this place. If the ice surface was not solid and thick from time to time, it might have been shaken to pieces.

Jiang He looked up at the setting sun falling down the western mountain, already anxious, but Shen Qingxiao made an appointment with him to come back after dark, no matter how worried he was, he chose to believe in Shen Qingxiao, but half an hour ago, the distant After a burst of spiritual power fluctuations, Jiang He completely calmed down, and now Jiang He only hoped that the sky would get darker soon.

Naturally, he wouldn't go down the mountain when it was dark, and he still wanted to find Shen Qingxiao. Even if he couldn't like him, he definitely couldn't just sit and watch him have an accident.

Finally, the sun disappeared completely in the sky.At this time, Jiang He was about to find someone, and at this time, he found a person running in the distance, he was startled, and after seeing the person clearly, he was very disappointed.

"Jiang City Master!" Shen Liang came with a journey of dust, and looked around in front of Jiang He, with an anxious expression on his face, "Where is my Palace Master?"

Jiang He frowned and said: "He went to find Shen Yuan." At the end, he added: "He went there before dawn, and he has been gone for a day."

"What?" Shen Liang exclaimed, pacing back and forth anxiously, "What should I do?"

Jiang He reminded: "Shall we go find him?"

Shen Liang quickly nodded in agreement, dealt with Ye Chengyun at the bottom of the mountain, he and Shen Tang led people up the mountain, Shen Tang was dealing with the people in the Sky Palace, and he first came to the forbidden area to look for Shen Qingxiao, unexpectedly it was a step too late.

It got dark quickly, and the light in the forbidden area became dim. The two didn't ask each other anything, and they didn't have the time or mood to ask. After confirming the direction, Jiang He followed Shen Liang. I don't know if he was dazzled, but he didn't go out. After a while, Jiang He saw a figure in the canyon. He blinked, and the figure disappeared again. Just as he was in doubt, Shen Liang beside him also saw something.

"Is that our Palace Master?" Shen Liang paused, pointing to a small black spot flickering in the darkness in the distance and said, his fingertips trembling a little.

Jiang He was sure that he was not dazzled, so he let out his spiritual sense to check it out. It was indeed a familiar aura, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he strode over.

"Shen Qingxiao!"

Hearing Jiang He shout his name loudly, Shen Liang rushed over with full of hope.

Sure enough, as he got closer, the small black spot gradually grew bigger. Even under the dark night, Jiang He could clearly see that the blood-clothed man who was walking precariously with a long sword was Shen Qingxiao. Looking at Shen Qingxiao from a distance of ten feet.

Shen Qingxiao also heard the movement, slowed down, raised his eyes to meet Jiang He's eyes, first startled, and then both of them laughed.

"How long have you been waiting?" Shen Qingxiao asked, his long hair was disheveled, his body was terribly wounded, and his face was splashed with dark red blood, which was a bit strange in the mountain wind, but Jiang He felt that his smile was very pretty.

"What did you say... Hey!" Jiang He didn't have time to finish, when he saw Shen Qingxiao's body flickering as if he was about to fall, he hurried over to support him, the clothes he touched were almost covered with blood, a thick stream of blood The smell of blood was still moist, and his face turned pale.

"I'm fine..." Shen Qingxiao's voice was hoarse, as if he was extremely tired, he dropped his sword and leaned against Jiang He, lowering his head and pressing his forehead.

Seeing that he was seriously injured, Jiang He became more and more worried. At this time, Shen Liang also came over, and said happily, "It's good that the Palace Master is back, Palace Master!"

Shen Qingxiao was actually very tired, and passed out before he had time to say a few more words to them. Shen Liang showed him, and his expression was very exciting.

Jiang He asked: "What's the matter?" He would be so anxious to death if he didn't speak for a long time!

Shen Liang hesitated and said: "Palace Master, maybe he really succeeded in taking away the life energy left by Teacher Fuyu back then. The pulse condition is very chaotic, but the dantian is very abundant."

If he can come back, there is a [-]% chance that he succeeded, but Jiang He didn't feel at ease, he carried Shen Qingxiao on his back, and said with a heavy face: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, go back first and then talk about it."

Shen Liang also agreed, he picked up Shen Qingxiao's sword and followed Jiang He, suggesting that he go to the Sky Palace.

When the two went back, Shen Tang happened to pack up the subordinates of the Tianqiong Palace, found a room to put Shen Qingxiao in, Shen Liang began to heal his injuries, Jiang He went out and stayed in the court, and did not go in again.

Shen Qingxiao had too many injuries, big and small, and he was afraid that the more he saw it, the softer his heart would become.

Even if he didn't look at it, he was still upset. Shen Tang had to deal with the follow-up matters of the Tianqiong Palace. He came here three times. It was dark and bright again. Every time he went in and out, he could see Jiang He, and Jiang He also saw her. They didn't speak, and Shen Liang never came out.

Until the next day when it was dark, Shen Liang opened the door with a tired face.

Jiang He didn't know what he was thinking about that day, probably he didn't think about anything, but his mind was in a mess, and he felt that the time was very difficult, and he couldn't see or listen to anything.He settled down, lowered his voice and asked Shen Liang, "What's the matter?"

Shen Liang shook his head and smiled.

Jiang He was still in a daze before he dared to be completely relieved. The past two days have been really frightening.

But Shen Liang said again: "Although the palace master's trip was too risky, it was also a blessing in disguise. Master Fuyu's life energy, which was already at the stage of Mahayana, was on him. Not only did he succeed in killing Shen Yuan to take revenge, but his own cultivation was also at risk. It’s a little bit higher, but it’s a bit harmful to swallow the jujube like this, he needs to retreat to digest his energy.”

"Retreat?" Jiang He blinked, and asked in a daze, "When will it start?"

"Now." Shen Liang said, "The Palace Master has already started retreat after waking up."

"But..." His injury hasn't healed yet, and he hasn't seen each other since he woke up.Jiang He felt that it was sudden and felt aggrieved. When the words came to his lips, he saw that a barrier had been set up in the room, and asked again: "Then when is he going to leave the customs?"

"I don't know when I will leave the customs after I have completely used up the energy that does not belong to me." Shen Liang saw Jiang He drooping his head sullenly, and hurriedly said: "But the palace lord said, let me wait and take care of it." Take care of City Lord Jiang."

"Oh." Jiang He suddenly felt depressed and didn't want to say anything.

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, before finally speaking, "The Palace Master also said that you are required to protect the Dharma."

"What?" Jiang He was astonished. Shen Qingxiao must be too shameless. He didn't know how long it took him to come out of seclusion, and he actually specified that he should protect the Dharma. How much time can he have to wait for him?Don't need to do the task?

Shen Liang coughed twice, and also felt a little embarrassed, but the palace lord's order did not dare to disobey, Shen Qingxiao looked at the figure outside the door through the window paper, and when he said this to him with a smile, he was also very puzzled. It's not that the Frost Palace is deserted, so why bother City Lord Jiang?

So Shen Liang said again: "If City Lord Jiang doesn't want to, that's fine..."

"Okay, I promise."

Jiang He didn't want to see Shen Liang's eyes that were tolerant but looked at him eagerly, his face was full of anticipation and it was short of writing 'I beg you to agree', okay?And he was just surprised just now, and didn't say no.He looked at the closed door again, and sighed bitterly, how long will Shen Qingxiao be closed?

One month, three months, half a year?

However, Jiang He is still missing. No one thought that Shen Qingxiao would spend nearly five years in seclusion this time, and there is still no sign of leaving the seclusion.

The cold is gone and the summer is coming, and the summer solstice is another year.

This year's summer has come too hot, and even the glaciers on the back mountain have melted half.

Since Shen Qingxiao came back five years ago, Shen Xuan and others went to the forbidden area in the back mountain to check.Shen Yuan and Aunt Qiong were indeed dead. As Shen Qingxiao expected, Aunt Qiong was indeed the last sacrificer, while Shen Yuan died under Shen Qingxiao's sword.The dragons in the Tianqiong Palace had no leader, and except for some subordinates who were willing to belong to the Wushuang Palace, the rest were cleared out.After all, Shen Tang and Shen Liang still had to go back to Wushuang Palace to be the masters, and Shen Qingxiao left early after retreating for three months, and only came back every once in a while to have a look.With so many people missing for a while, the Tianqiong Temple became quiet and deserted.

On this day, Jiang He is still protecting the law for Shen Qingxiao. He has been in this world for about five years. After a while, the Kunlun Ruins will open, and he will have to help Gu Yunzhan get the Kunlun Crystal.For this matter, the system has talked to him countless times this month, even if he knew he would be gagged, he still had to say it.

Jiang Hehe never wanted to leave, but he couldn't let go of Shen Qingxiao's place, so he had no choice but to decline with the system, and he would set off to find Gu Yunzhan next month at the latest.

However, because Shen Qingxiao has been in seclusion for too long, so long that Jiang He was tired of staying in the Sky Palace, he was no longer as nervous as before, and had to go out to get some air from time to time, and Shen Yun, who voluntarily stayed in the Sky Palace, became a helper for him. The same is true for the guardians of the law and gates today.

Jiang He wouldn't leave the Tianqiong Palace too far, he just went to the back mountain, the ice lake with a lot of aura where the snow and grass used to be planted.Now the ice lake has been melted by the hot sun, and the lake water is crystal clear, as clear as a mirror, and still warm, so Jiang He often comes here to be lazy.

But in fact, he didn't really want to come, but Ao Jing wanted to come.In the past five years of Shen Qingxiao's retreat, he has not been idle. He has cultivated this body to the Nascent Soul stage, at least he can enter the Kunlun Ruins, and as his strength grows, Ao Jing also begins to become more and more noisy , it likes this lake, and has been pestering to come here for the past two years, and Jiang He is very speechless if he wants to see it go to the sea.

Fearing that it would be discovered, Jiang He specifically told someone to hide when someone approached, so when Ao Jing, which had grown to a length of three feet, re-entered the bottom of the water, Jiang He knew that someone was coming.

Sure enough, not long after, a person fell behind him, who smiled at him and said, "Master Jiang."

Jiang He turned around, it turned out to be Shen Liang, who came from Wushuang Palace again.Shen Liang is not a man of few words, he quickly put his hands behind his back and gestured to Ao Jing who was lurking under the water: Don't come up!

Ao Jing sank into the water silently, and his figure changed back to a pocket state as small as a finger. The system lying on the shore leaned over and looked at it. It didn't dare to approach the mighty and domineering white dragon after it became bigger. As for why... When it couldn't resist the cat's instinct again this time and recognized the little white dragon below as a fish, and stretched out its sharp claws to catch it, the little white dragon opened its mouth and bit the system's claws, Drag it down merrily.

Hearing the sound of splashing water behind him, Jiang He didn't care to say hello to Shen Liang, and hurriedly fished up the system in the water. By the way, he pushed down the head of the mischievous little white dragon that came out of the water, and then dried the system with spiritual power. It lay dying in its arms, and could only say that it deserved it, who made it keep provoking Ao Jing.

"City Master Jiang is very interested." Shen Liang had already walked over, looked at the slightly fat civet cat in his arms, and said with a smile: "I heard Shen Yun say you are here, so I'm here."

While Shen Liang was talking, the tips of his ears were inexplicably red, and his favorability was also rising.

The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched. There are still unsolved mysteries. One is why Shen Qingxiao has no favorability and hatred for him, and the other is why Shen Liang's favorability for him is always rising inexplicably.
