【Ice Autumn】Crossing Mountain Spring

The girl in red was only fourteen or fifteen years old, hugging Shen Qingqiu's leg, weeping hoarsely.

Shen Qingqiu looked pitifully, said a few words of comfort, and covered her behind him.

Luo Binghe stood behind Shen Qingqiu, staring at the two without saying a word.At this time, he took a step forward, pulled the girl with a sullen face, and pulled the girl away.

Shen Qingqiu asked, "You say that, do you know where that monster came from? Why didn't you tell us in the first place?"

"The principal didn't know about this at first. We did it ourselves without telling the truth. I heard that people from several generations said that they saw it here. I don't know if it's true. It was a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I didn't expect There are really fewer people who died..."

Someone in the crowd murmured softly, "How dare you tell the Cangqiong Mountain faction about such things..."

That is.According to the awe-inspiring and upright painting style of the Cang Qiong Mountain School, if he saw such a thing as a living sacrifice happening under his nose, he would definitely stop it immediately and severely punish him.

Shen Qingqiu said, "This won't solve the problem either. Let her go back."

Someone bravely shouted, "Why does the immortal master make things difficult for us, sacrifice a few to keep everyone safe, what's wrong!"

Many people behind him followed closely and echoed, and there was a tendency of anger.

Shen Qingqiu waved his folding fan more and more calmly, "Okay. Just one thing," he said with a smile, "This monster doesn't care what it says about virgins, and it doesn't refuse anyone who comes. You big men are full of flesh and blood, but they are more suitable for it. Appetite. Why should a man use a little girl to prevent disasters, why not invite them first?"

Suddenly, there was a complete silence.

"In this case, please lead the way to the place where the monster is hiding."

Shen Qingqiu made a gesture of invitation, but the leader couldn't help it, and he didn't have the confidence, so he could only resign himself to his fate and walk forward in discouragement.

Shen Qingqiu beckoned the people behind to follow, and when he passed Liu Qingge, who was still thinking, he stopped, with a half-smile, "Junior Brother Liu, let's go."

Liu Qingge looked at him carefully from the beginning, as if feeling that he didn't recognize the person in front of him again, "When did you become so kind?"

Shen Qingqiu said with a smile, "I also want to ask, when did Junior Brother care about Senior Brother so much?"

Liu Qingge walked away with a flick of his sleeves, "No!"

Shen Qingqiu laughed wildly in his heart, collected himself, and looked up at a swift waterfall in the distance.

Following the group of people continued to walk a section of the mountain road, the waterfall was already in sight, flying flowers and broken jade, and there was an uproar.But the last stop was a deep pool under the waterfall, separated by a certain distance.

The deep clumps of vines were pushed away, and as soon as they stepped into the area around the pool, a disciple immediately shouted, "It's so cold!"

Indeed, if you look closely, even the surrounding vegetation is covered with a layer of slight frost.

The area of ​​the pool is not small. The water from the waterfall is buffered by the mountains and flows through the jagged rocks, and a large part of it flows into here.There is no problem with the water, the strange thing lies in the pool itself.

Shen Qingqiu stood by the pool and looked at it, feeling that it was deep and bottomless.The water waves are bright and dark, and the surroundings are surprisingly cold. If you feel it carefully, you can smell a ghost.

Luo Binghe spoke from the side, "I remember that when I was in the water last night, the water in that river was also abnormally cold."

Shen Qingqiu understood, and had a bottom line in his heart.

It really made them predict right.

The leader breathed out from the cold, and shrank up, "No one usually comes to this place, but I heard from our ancestors that this pool was here hundreds of years ago. It is said that there have been demons on and off a few times, and they used it back then." Human sacrifices have been made. We are not a precedent, otherwise no one would dare to take the lives of living people as a trifle."

After looking at each other for a while, someone asked, "Then shall we wait here for it to come out?"

Nature doesn't work.Not to mention staying here for a few days, even for a few hours, it would be terribly cold.Even if a cultivator is not afraid of the cold, the cold here seems to be unusual, the cold goes straight to the bone marrow, and it is unbearable to stay for too long.

When Shen Qingqiu said it, many people agreed with him and nodded in agreement.

Liu Qingge said, "Then preemptively strike and force it out."

Shen Qingqiu asked, "What does Junior Brother Liu mean?"

Before the words were finished, Liu Qingge rode the Luan clang out of the sheath, and with a flash of inspiration, he plunged straight into the pool.The spiritual power of the sword immediately stirred up huge waves in the pool, and in a moment, the water at the bottom of the pool surged up, splashing in all directions, and there was a long cry like a baby or a girl.

If you say you can do it, you can do it, as expected of Liu Juju!

Shen Qingqiu summoned Xiu Ya, turned his head to face the frozen half-dead, and the stunned group said, "Let's go!"

That group of people came back to their senses, and after listening to Shen Qingqiu's words, they swarmed down the mountain and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Shen Qingqiu turned back and told his disciples, "Stay away from the water, don't be dragged down."

After a huge commotion, Cheng Luan returned to her sheath, and Liu Qingge stared at the water surface with a serious expression.Everyone held their breath and looked towards the lake.

Ink-like hairs protruded from the depths of the originally clear pool, and gradually expanded to cover the entire water.Immediately afterwards, what they saw at the well that time, the "Zhenzi" who had been complained about by Shen Qingqiu climbed out one after another, and clouds of misty resentful spirits jumped around.

Shen Qingqiu waved his hands to set up a barrier to prevent the resentful spirits from flowing into the city, while concentrating spiritual power in his hands, ready to counterattack at any time.

Because of the preparations made in advance, everyone raised their swords to kill in an orderly manner, and with the two backbones of Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu, they gradually gained the upper hand, groups of resentful spirits were defeated, and the monsters crawling all over the ground were beheaded one by one.

Shen Qingqiu took a breath, grabbed Shang Qinghua who was on the side, and asked in a low voice, "I ask you, how should I fight the righteous master here?"

Shen Qingqiu knew that the hundred-year-old demon who had entangled him and Luo Binghe into the water was still dormant in the pool, and that was the most difficult thing.

Shang Qinghua spread his hands, "How to fight. How did Brother Bing fight back then? That was the only textbook."

Shen Qingqiu blurted out, "Are you kidding me?"

Back then, Brother Bing was awesome, but even so, he still used several specially made immortal nets to catch a few hundred-year-old sprites. I won’t describe the killing process, but it took a lot of effort .When Yue Qingyuan dispatched the task, he didn't think of the difficulties here, thinking that it was caused by ordinary monsters. Therefore, Shen Qingqiu didn't have enough manpower and equipment to keep up with this trip. It can be said that it is almost impossible to eradicate and clean up in one fell swoop.If you have to force it, I'm afraid it will hurt most of the people.

After the fighting around gradually subsided, Shen Qingqiu fell silent for a while after explaining the situation.

"And," Shang Qinghua straightened his clothes, and added from the side, "this thing was originally raised in the mountains, forests, and waters. The geomantic omen of this land is so good, even if we wiped it out today, it will definitely appear again in a few years. I have cultivated enough Taoism, but I want to go down the mountain to harm people."

These words were so smooth, Luo Binghe said doubtfully, "I remember that Master Shang is also the first time I heard of such a thing as a demon..."

Shang Qinghua's expression froze, and Shen Qingqiu hurriedly said, "I told you Uncle Shang just now."

Luo Binghe said in admiration, "Master is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, this disciple still has a lot to learn."

Shang Qinghua looked at his son's adoring expression, feeling inexplicably sad and indignant——

The male lead, please open your eyes and see that the whole world was created by you and me!

"Then...then what should we do next?" Someone asked.

Liu Qingge said, "No matter what, you have to give it a try."

Shen Qingqiu said, "Of course we can't allow this monster to harm people, but we don't have to confront it head-on. My idea is to block this pool of water and the waterway leading to the city with a spirit array, trap it here and cannot go down the mountain again Harmful people, and the rest of the matter, we will wait until we return to Cang Qiong Mountain, and then we will make plans."

This is also Shen Qingqiu's original plan, anyway, he can't kill them all, so it's better to seal them up.At most, the Cang Qiong Mountain faction would shoulder the responsibility and send people over every once in a while to check the integrity of the spirit array.

Most people had the same opinion as Shen Qingqiu. Liu Qingge held the sword, but still didn't look at Shen Qingqiu, with a noncommittal expression on his face.

Shen Qingqiu knew that he also acquiesced to this method, just when he was about to make further arrangements, Luo Binghe grabbed the hand hanging by his side, "Master! This disciple is willing to try his best, even if there is danger... it doesn't matter!"

Shen Qingqiu froze, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Binghe gritted his teeth, looked up at Shen Qingqiu, "Master, I..."

Luo Binghe gripped Shen Qingqiu's hand more and more forcefully, Shen Qingqiu resisted the urge to grin his teeth, slapped Luo Binghe's hand off, and said casually, "No nonsense. This situation is also when you can be a hero? "

Also, this child is young, why is his hand so strong!

Shen Qingqiu turned his head and nodded to Liu Qingge, "Junior Brother Liu, let's do it."

Luo Binghe was pulled aside by his seniors, still staring at Shen Qingqiu steadfastly, he lowered his head after a while, and slowly pursed his lips.

In order to prevent any omissions from being taken advantage of, a triple barrier was set up, suppressed with a spirit array, and meticulously sealed the waterway, which not only ensures the smooth flow of water, but also prevents evil spirits from passing through.

After checking it for the last time, Shen Qingqiu felt relieved, "I'd better ask the master for instructions and invite Zhaohua Temple to come. In terms of enchantment, no one in the entire cultivation world can match his family, it's even safer."

After staying by this pool for a long time, the cold air poured from the soles of the feet to the forehead, the group of people couldn't stay longer, they rested for a while, and then went down the mountain.

Shen Qingqiu sent his disciples to inform the master of the situation here, saying that he can rest assured in the future, and if there is any abnormality, he will notify the Cangqiong Mountain Sect in time.

Out of politeness and thanks, the master wanted to keep Shen Qingqiu and his party in the city for entertainment, but Shen Qingqiu politely declined.

Dealing with people along the way, Shen Qingqiu was doing most of the false and submissive things, Liu Qingge was in charge of force and cold and not good at words, Shang Qinghua was busy directing his disciples to take care of them, and now that Shen Qingqiu had spoken, the master couldn't say much, Thank you so much for personally sending them out of the city.

Shen Qingqiu actually wanted to take a few meals to taste the specialties of the mountain city, but there was one more thing that he always cared about, so he didn't have much thought to delay outside.

Counting the days, after returning to Cang Qiong Mountain, the date of the Qiong Ding Peak Sword Trial Conference is imminent.
