[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Twilight is turning towards night, the sky is full of clouds, and the mountains on all sides are tall and straight.Surrounded by mountains, a city wall more than ten feet high is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the blue bricks are dyed red in the sun, adding a bit of beauty to the majesty.

Next to the official road outside the Shouyang City Gate, two figures, one tall and one short, stood under a tree.The breeze blew, blowing the five-color silk cloth on the small wooden knife hanging around the waist as a pendant, Shen Bailing stopped and told Ruan Ci: "I will take you here. By the way... don't Tell me what happened today, those people behave strangely and have some supernatural powers, don't be implicated in them and cause trouble for your upper body."

Ruan Ci rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Got it! Brother Shen is so talkative, he has become like Mr. Zhang from the Shushu School, only two beards are missing. Then Ah Ci will come to play with Brother Shen tomorrow. Make me another straw man, make two!"

Shen Bailing smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."

After sending Ruan Ci back to the city, Shen Bailing felt relieved.After all, he is a few years older than the little girl Ruan Ci, and he is more thoughtful.Just now, when those people from southern Xinjiang said something about the man in black, there was a faint meaning in the words that the strange cloud took away some treasure. He was already very puzzled, and he was afraid that these strange people would bring disaster to Shouyang, if it was other human races. But Ah Ci lives in this city, so what should he do if he is involved?

Now seeing with his own eyes that Shouyang City is safe and sound, and the sky is very clear and peaceful, he finally let go of his high-hanging heart, but new doubts inevitably arise in his heart. The strange cloud and the people from Nanjiang are clearly He went towards Shouyang, where is he now?

Back to Chaohu, it was too late.Worried about her mother's scolding, Shen Bailing hurried into the water and dived back to the country of residence.

Algae are swaying in the ancient city, and the densest one is outside the Nest Temple.When Shen Bailing passed by, his heart moved, and he decided to pick a handful of grass leaves to wipe himself, so as to cover up his human aura, so he turned and swam towards the center of the city.

Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he discovered that there were many ghosts and shadows outside the temple, colorful and colorful, and there were many ghosts gathered.Shen Bailing was curious, so he simply took a few steps closer to take a closer look.

Outside the Nest Temple, on the huge stone platform, there were several lotus leaf beds stretched out at unknown times, and several small figures lay side by side on the beds.With sharp eyes, Shen Bailing recognized some of the most mischievous little monsters in the city with a glance from the side, and among them was the little crocodile spirit from the house next door to the river.

"Stinky boy, what's the matter with you, you are doing well during the day, now, now, is it possible to scare your mother to death here?"

Hearing a burst of wailing, he saw a tall and thick banshee clung to the edge of the lotus leaf bed, beating the bed and crying loudly. It was He Yi's mother.

"Aunt He, what's going on?" In the whole city, only Blacksmith He and Aunt He treated Shen Bailing very well. They never disliked Shen Danqing's eccentric temper and often came to deliver some food. Now Shen Bailing saw that Aunt He's son He Yi seemed to be out of business. After it was over, I was also a little worried for them.

Aunt He wiped the corners of her eyes, looked up and saw that it was Shen Bailing, and hurriedly said: "Bailing, you came just in time. Isn't your mother's fragrant medicine known to have miraculous effects, hurry up and use some, my brat has fallen for it What the hell, I just came back from being naughty outside today and I can’t get up on the bed anymore, and my two claws are rotten, look!” Then he turned his son’s little hands over.

Shen Bailing poked his head to look, and gasped after taking a closer look.I saw a thick layer of hoarfrost on He Yi's hands, and most of the hard bronze scales that originally covered the back of his hands had been frozen off, revealing large chunks of black, purple and red festered skin underneath, and fine chapped skin on his curled fingers. The texture is like ancient pottery cracked but not broken, it is really ugly.

How does it look like frostbite?He secretly thought, the depths of Chaohu Lake have never been frozen even in severe winter, so what could frostbite He Yi's hand?

Shen Bailing also learned some medicine from her mother, and quickly opened He Yi's fingers to examine carefully, and found that the pulp of the finger and the palm were particularly injured, and muttered to herself: "Could it be that he touched something extremely cold?" ?”

With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly looked at the palms of the other little demons one by one, and found that although the severity was different, they were all frostbite.

There is no pharmacy in Juchao Country, and the Yaozu are often in strong health, and they will recover after a few days of minor injuries, so they never pay attention.Unexpectedly, such an incident happened today, no wonder the monsters panicked.

There was a lot of discussion under the stone platform. Although the other monsters were not as anxious as the family members of those little monsters, they were somewhat worried.

Just heard a few "duk-duk", and then an old voice said angrily: "What are you arguing about! We have the protection of the Nest God, these children must be fine, don't get confused!"

All the demons were suffocated, and there was no sound, even Aunt He stopped crying.I saw an eight-foot-long black man helping a rickety old man out of the temple. The long beard on the old man's chest was floating with the water, there was a scarlet sarcoma between his eyebrows, and a pair of dull old eyes were cloudy, although his appearance was not good. , but a single word made all the monsters dare not make noise anymore, and their prestige was very strong. It was the elder Hurricane who lived in the Nest Country.

Huanxi knocked on the stone slab a few more times with an old ivy crutch in his hand, and said: "Today, these children didn't know what kind of filth they ran into, and they were injured like this. From the He family, tell me, He Before Yi fainted, did he ever say where he had been?"

Aunt He was startled, and hurriedly said: "This... our brat ran around all day, but he was at the bottom of Chaohu Lake?"

"But there is no extreme cold in Chaohu Lake..." Shen Bailing couldn't help muttering.

Hearing this, Xie Huan took a look at him and said, "A boy from the Shen family? You said it was extremely cold...but what do you know?"

Shen Bailing nodded: "I see that He Yi and the others have frost on their hands, as if they have touched something cold and frozen like this. But I am wondering, our Chaohu Lake has never been frozen, how can there be something cold Woolen cloth?"

Just at this time, there was a sudden cry, but the little snake demon lying beside He Yi woke up. She was the least injured, so she still had some sanity in the drowsiness. She only heard her cry softly: "Daddy, tail It hurts..."

The giant snake demon from the Hua family hurriedly embraced her, coaxing her: "Hong Yan, dad is here! Tell the elder and the little brother of the Shen family, where did you go today, and what happened to you?"

Hua Hongyan flicked the tip of Yinhong's tail, rolled in pain, and cried, "I didn't go anywhere...it's all Shou Heyi, he insisted on dragging us to the gravel pile, talking about treasure hunting, that strange plate is cold and dirty. Heavy, how can it be considered a baby... Daddy, it hurts!"

Huan Yue's brows became tighter and tighter, and after a moment of pondering, he said to the dark giant behind him: "Hui Yue, go to the gravel pile outside the city to have a look, if there is anything, what looks like a plate, then bring it here! "

Huan Yue was reticent, he just nodded and swam towards the east entrance of Juchao City, but he disappeared after a while.

Shen Bailing also ran home for the time being, told his mother about the little demons in a few words, and then returned outside the Nest Temple with Shen Danqing's lacquer box containing the fragrant medicine.

At that time, Hurricane had gone and returned, and stood behind Hurricane again.There was something flat on the ground in front of him, wrapped tightly with a piece of white cloth, it looked flat and flat, as if it had been turned upside down.

Shen Bailing squeezed to the lotus leaf bed, put the lacquer box and a small green incense burner beside He Yi's pillow, glanced sideways at the ground, and thought: Is that the "strange plate" that Hua Hongyan was talking about?

Hurricane coughed and said tremblingly, "Hui Yue, what is this?"

Huan Yue said in a deep voice: "There are no other foreign objects in the pile of gravel, but this object can't stop flashing blue light, and it's very cold to the touch. I carried it back."

Hurricane stroked his long beard and said approvingly: "Very good, let's untie it and have a look."

Hurricane lifted the white cloth, and saw something blue under the cloth, as Hua Hongyan said, like a huge disc, but with shallow lines on the surface, covered with a layer of brilliance, sparkling and crystal clear Clear, very rare.

Shen Bailing looked at it for a long time before remembering to open the lacquer box, take out the analgesic myrrh and put it in the incense burner.Not long after, wisps of milky white water mist curled up from the mouths of the four small animal heads on the furnace body.The refreshing and refreshing breath is mixed in the water, which makes the heart feel comfortable after smelling it.Not only the painful expressions on the faces of a few little monsters eased, but even the surrounding monsters became much calmer.

Hurricane sighed and said: "It turned out to be it!" Then he turned to the demons and said, "It's no wonder that these children are frostbitten. Do you know what it is? This is a person who has some connections with Chaohu Lake. The ones left by the great people who pass by here by chance are called Kun Lin."

Seeing that all the demons were bewildered, Hurricane continued: "It is said that there is a fish in the dark north, and its name is Kun. These are the scales of the master Kun. After the master cultivated into a demon, he didn't like to stay in the sea of ​​darkness. From time to time, I walked around along the underground water, never thought that I would pass by us, and leave some gifts... Alas, this kun scale is also a rare cold weapon, but that lord lives in the coldest place in the world, and his body is covered with ice. Cold, his scales naturally condense cold air, if you touch it with your hands, the frostbite will be mild."

Only then did the demons understand, but Aunt He put her arms around her son and said, "Elder, then... can my brat and these other demons be saved?"

Hurricane thought for a while, and said: "If there is medicine for frostbite, it will be fine if you apply it. It's just that most of the nesting countries are water monsters, so how to collect medicine on land is difficult."

Shen Bailing once heard from his mother that Nvluoyan in the northwest of Shouyang City is rich in vanilla. The herb not only has a strange fragrance, but also can invigorate blood and warm the body. The woods by the lake are picking herbs for Auntie, I am familiar with the paths by Chaohu Lake, why not let me go."

Hurricane hesitated for a while, and finally agreed: "Forget it, you go early tomorrow, and come back after gathering the medicine. If you encounter human races nearby, be careful to avoid them." Seeing Shen Bailing nodding in response, he smiled slightly, and then He said to the demons, "I'm afraid there are still kun scales in the sand and gravel, after a few days, the lake vortex will dissipate, and some members of the Nest Guard will search the outside of the city. The spirits in the city are not allowed to go there these days. "After that, he leaned on the cane and went.
