The protagonist of the book is blackening

Although the two tall guards were carved out of ice, the armor part was painted with thick dark gold.Under the tightly wrapped helmet are two pairs of resolute and silent eyes.

Chu Jinran slowly pushed open the heavy oak door.

The huge oak door was dragged, making a rumbling sound, and the door was completely opened.As if receiving a signal, a blue flame jumped instantly from the delicate silver candlestick in the room.Lighted up the tall, icy-coloured room.

No matter how lifelike and terrifying the ice sculptures in the house are, they are not as dazzling as the huge ice bed in the center of the house.Next to the head of the ice bed stood two people of ice and snow, as if silently guarding it, unchanged for thousands of years.

When Chu Jinran was lying on the bed looking up at them, he happened to be able to see the gentle eyes of the ice and snow man beside him.

Not all people of ice and snow are human beings, among them are werewolves with silvery white hair, or deer people with cute elves... On Lingxue Peak, all intelligent beings are people of ice and snow.

Chu Jinran fell asleep in the kind red eyes of the two werewolves.

***

The next morning, the ice wall was shining brightly in the sun, and a small paper crane flew over the ice sculptures until it found Chu Jinran's residence under the stiff tone of the other ice sculptures.

It lingers at the door and cannot enter.A thick oak door blocked its way.

"Who are you?" Looking at the hesitant thousand paper cranes, one of the guards in thick golden armor asked in a deep voice.

The Thousand Paper Crane was endowed with intelligence, and said in a low voice, "I'm a carrier pigeon... used to deliver messages. The person I'm looking for is Chu Jinran."

Another golden armored guard asked: "Is this the name of the new master who arrived yesterday?"

The one on the left was silent, probably thinking with his clumsy head: "Ah... probably so."

The one on the right said: "Then you come in, little carrier pigeon. But the master hasn't woken up yet. If he wakes up, my werewolf friend who is on duty in the house will tell me."

Complaint on the left: "I don't know how long the previous owner let the werewolf brother guard him, but how can the clumsy werewolf brother protect him? It's better to let my distant relative, Miss Fox go."

The right side mocked him slowly: "You want Miss Fox to climb into the master's bed."

The little thousand paper cranes flew back and forth: "Stop arguing! Stop arguing, if you keep arguing, I'm going to die." The mana is gone, and it will indeed die.

Na Na on the left responded, and opened the door cautiously.

Without making a sound, the little thousand paper cranes flapped their wings and flew into it.

The one on the right took the opportunity to touch the wings of the little paper crane: "Carrier pigeon... I haven't seen it in hundreds of years." He said.

Those on the left thought his memory was bad: "It's thousands of years away." He corrected.

As a result, the little thousand paper crane was touched by him, and it fell to the ground with a flutter.

The one on the left cried: "You are so bad. If you touch someone's wings, you will kill him."

The sad one on the right: "I didn't do it on purpose..." While talking, it also started to cry: "What to do, it died..."

There was a sound from inside.

The one on the right choked and said: "The master woke up, what should I do, he saw that the little carrier pigeon was killed by me, will he not want me?"

The one on the left said strangely: "I don't want you, who made you so stupid."

"You are so stupid!" The one on the right retorted, "You are the most stupid. I don't know which master wanted to change us into golden clothes, but when you moved the paint, the golden clothes became gloomy. It doesn't look good either."

"How can I!" The left retorts.

So the two started arguing with each other, and they didn't stop until Chu Jinran came out.

When Chu Jinran came out, he was surprised to see the Thousand Paper Crane lying on the ground with one wing broken.

He looked at the small crack in the open door, and suspected that he hadn't closed the door properly last night to let the paper crane in, but the paper crane was so clumsy that it accidentally bumped into the door and broke its wings.

He picked up the Thousand Paper Crane and tapped its beak gently.

Zhihe immediately raised his head and began to speak, but the voice was not Zhihe's voice, but a gentle and clear voice that belonged exclusively to Senior Brother Sigui: "It's time for Junior Brother to get up~ Come outside the hall, the practice is about to begin." Said Finished, the paper crane hangs its head weakly, as if the mission has been accomplished and life has disappeared.

Chu Jinran had nothing to prepare, and after putting away the paper cranes, he walked towards the outside of the hall.

The golden-armored guard on the left saw that he had gone far away; he immediately shouted anxiously: "Tell the people in the front hall to get ready! All kinds of poses have been set up for me in a daze! What evil spirits? The temperament has to be installed for me! The new owner just arrived yesterday, and everyone was unprepared, picking boogers, picking chrysanthemums, and scratching chrysanthemums, but when the door opened, it was stupid, hehe."

The little one on the right said in a low voice: "You're bad... You were obviously picking your feet that day, and you put it on your nose to sniff at the end... Now you're still talking about others."

The one on the left is in a hurry.

***

So when Chu Jinran came out, what he saw was an extremely neat team of ice sculptures.Moreover, the distance between the ice sculptures was much larger than yesterday, and he didn't know what was going on. He only thought that it might be because it was dark yesterday and he couldn't see clearly.No matter how rich the imagination is, it is impossible to imagine that the dense gathering of ice sculptures before is for a social gathering.Now that the new owner has come, they will naturally adjourn the meeting.

Senior Brother Si Gui was standing on the snow bricks in front of the Hall of Listening to Snow.

When Chu Jinran came out, he walked with him and handed him a bigu pill.

Chu Jinran was very surprised: "The day is bright, why don't you enter the palace?"

Si Gui bent down and picked a snowball flower, and smiled: "I'm afraid of them."

"..." Chu Jinran thought for a while about the terrifying ice sculptures in Lingxue Palace, and he was convinced.

Master Xuanzhen did not train with them.

Therefore, brother Si Gui had to teach him most of the time.

"Actually, I rarely see him." Si Gui asked Chu Jinran to pick a sword from the sword library: "That person always forgets everything as soon as he starts practicing."

Chu Jinran waved the sword in his hand that was completely made of transparent and clear ice crystals. The handle of this sword was made of snow without knowing what kind of craftsmanship was used.But he didn't have any cold feeling when holding it, but it was very comfortable.

Si Gui smiled and handed him a few books: "I am familiar with the heart and the sword, and I will let the thousand paper cranes come to me... But this is the first day, in order not to show the ruthlessness of Lingxue Palace Come on, I've decided to teach you personally for a day." He pretended to be serious and said.

Chu Jinran glanced at the book cover in his hand.

Si Gui smiled and said: "Tao Fa One and Sword Intent Awe-inspiring are the basic mind and sword techniques of Lingxiao Palace. Heart Like Still Water and Sensen Hanxue belong to Lingxue Palace. Dao Fa One and Sword Intent Awe-inspiring are only for you to learn and understand within ten days Thorough, heart like still water and dense cold snow... As a senior brother, I have to take care of you, little junior brother, so I will give you a few more days. Thirty days, understand thoroughly and keep in mind, how about it?"

Chu Jinran said: "You don't say how difficult these books are, how do I know whether the time limit you gave me is long or short?"

Si Gui said against his will: "It takes about ten days for ordinary people to finish the basic books of Lingxiao Palace, but for those of Lingxue Palace...it will never take more than a month for each disciple." In fact, only Lingxiao Palace A person with good talent will have to learn the basic book for a year or so. Si Gui just wanted to see Chu Jinran panicked on that ice face purely out of wickedness.

"En." Chu Jinran nodded: "So what are you going to teach me today?"

Si Gui smiled and said, "You need to understand the mind by yourself. There are all kinds of strange little spells in the various library pavilions of Lingxue Palace, which need you to discover slowly. In addition to swordsmanship, I also There's really nothing to guide you."

Soon, Si Gui discovered that Chu Jinran's movements of swinging and dancing swords were very proficient, like flowing clouds and flowing water.Every move can meet the highest standard of Sword Intent, and he even has his own unique insights.Even Sensen Hanxue's sword intent is almost comprehensible to him, the only difference is repeated practice and actual combat drills to use live moves in dead moves.

In this way, Si Gui didn't care much about him, except for testing Chu Jinran's knowledge once a week and fighting with him, he basically didn't show up much.

Working day and night, Chu Jinran finished the four thin books in just 29 days and became proficient in understanding them.

For him, Taoism refers to the pure state of mind that people should be one with nature during cultivation.He could do this a long time ago, even if it wasn't like this, when he arrived in the snow tomb, the peaks meet the snow field, and there is a vast expanse of white.Looking at those white pure, but also pure cold snow.He can still easily become one with them.

The heart is like still water, and the book lives up to its name, which talks about how to restrain one's emotions.Chu Jinran did not agree with the content of this book, it is better to block it than to be sparse, so that his ruthless mentality is only treating the surface but not the inside, and treating the leaves but not the root.On this point, he quite agrees with Elder Fengming's statement that one can only understand the Tao through experience.

And what about swordsmanship?The original owner was not only endowed with extraordinary talent when he was young, but also had been training hard for his own self-esteem and pride. He didn't need to elaborate on how solid his basic sword skills were, and how flexible and fierce he was when he moved.

In this way, one month has passed, and Chu Jinran has successfully broken through the Qi refining period and reached the foundation building period, and this also proves that he can finally do something that he has been thinking about:

'Pull' Sucher over.

The so-called pull over does not mean that he flew to the ancient tomb to snatch Su Che over by force, but that he can transform the space of Su Che in the middle of the night without anyone noticing it, and transfer him to the Hall of Listening to Snow.
