Vol 3 Chapter 248: Snow snake

Chapter 248 Snow Snake
The sound of footsteps sounded and passed into the cave from the passage. After a while, the figures of Sun You and Gan Ze appeared in the passage and walked in from outside. A cold wind seemed to be blowing into this quiet cave with their steps, bringing a staggering cold outside, even causing the originally quiet burning flame to suddenly shake, as if shivering. cub.
Two people sitting by the fire, Yongye's eyes lit up and stood up, while Zhong Qingzhu, who was sitting at the other end, just turned his head and glanced at both of them, his gaze swept over and behind them empty, and then After a pause, he turned his face blankly to look at the flames, and put a firewood inside.
The sparks spread over very quickly, it seemed to have gained new power and brightened a lot again, and it stopped shaking and became stable. Yongye took two steps forward and asked Gan Ze and Sun You:
"What, did you find that Junior Sister Zhong?"
Both Gan Ze and Sun You shook their heads, Yong Ye was taken aback, glanced behind them, then thought of something, frowned and said, "The Shen Shi who chased out before..."
Sun You sighed and said: "The stone ran outside a step faster than us. It should have been chasing Zhong Qinglu. It's just that the sky outside was too dark and snowy, and when Gan Ze and I went out, they were no longer visible. Up."
"What?" Yongye was stunned, and Zhong Qingzhu's bright eyes on the other end were staring at the burning flame in front of him, silently, not knowing what was thinking in his heart, but just said nothing.
Gan Ze, who was standing beside You Sun, said: "When we chased out, we also tried to separate the two sides and search for a section, but there was too much wind and snow outside. If we go far, we are afraid that we will lose our way. I came back first.
As he said, he smiled bitterly, and said,
The snow fell outside, and the snowy area just walked past. It didn’t take long to even see the footprints. It’s really hard to tell the direction and find someone. "
Yongye nodded and said, "It's true. You two are not familiar with this northern snowfield. It's right not to go far away rashly, otherwise it will be difficult to do if you really get lost."
Sun You was a little worried on his face and said, "But now Shishi and Zhong Qinglu are gone, and they can't be found. Brother Yongye, is there any way you can find them?"
Yongye pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "On such a stormy night, even our Zhenlongdian disciples would normally not go out. The northern snowfields are vast and empty, and it is easy to get lost in such a snowy night. I'm afraid we can't find them two. Maybe after dawn, we go out and search, maybe we can find them two."
Sun You and Gan Ze looked at each other and didn't know what to say. At this moment, the three of them suddenly heard Zhong Qingzhu, who had been sitting silently by the fire, suddenly asked, "Yongye Brother, if the two of them really get lost and can't find the way back here, is there any danger in this icy and snowy field outside?"
Yongye frowned, thought for a moment, and then solemnly said: "Nowadays, the wind and snow outside the cave are heavy and the ice is so cold that ordinary people can't stand it. However, Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu are in the realm of Taoism. 'S path is trapped on the snowy field. As long as the spiritual power in the body is running, I think they should be able to last until dawn." At this point, he paused and said, "Of course, I really have to be hard outside in the wind and snow. It’s definitely not a good feeling to carry it for the whole night. It’s definitely a bit tired and even frosty. But if nothing happens, the two of them shouldn’t be in any great danger.

Gan Ze and Sun You were still a little worried when they heard this, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat relieved. In any case, Yongye is a disciple of Zhenlong Temple after all, and is the person who knows this northern snowy land best. Now that he has said so, Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu must not have any big risks. The big deal is when tomorrow morning, everyone will go out and carefully search for their tracks.
It’s just that the cold expression on Zhong Qingzhu’s face did not seem to relax much. She raised her head silently, took a look at Yongye, and then asked again, "Brother Yongye, what did you mean by accident? ?"
Yongye was taken aback, and then explained: "Sister Zhong, this is the case. Although the ice and snow in the far north snowfield seems to be barren, there are still many local monsters on the snowfield. Of course, I passed through the Xuelong Mountain before. I told you at the time that most of the powerful monsters are gathered in that mountain range, but there are indeed some on the snowy field."
As he said, he glanced at the direction of the cave entrance, and then continued: "So the accident I said is just in case Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu suddenly encounter some powerful monster in the wind and snow outside, this is what It’s dangerous. But you don’t have to worry. I also said that this is just in case. Generally speaking, with my years of experience living on this snowy field, it’s almost impossible for me to have such a snowy night. The monster ran out."
After Zhong Qingzhu heard this, he was silent. Sun You and Gan Ze looked at each other, knowing that there should be no way to find Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu right now, so they also walked back and sat down by the fire. Only intentionally or unintentionally, the two of them sat on the side of Monk Yongye, separated by a pile of fire, there seemed to be three men on the side of the cave, and Zhong Qingzhu was sitting on the side alone.
※※※
After a while, Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised her head, her eyes were a little cold, and she quietly glanced at the three men behind the flames. There was neither joy, anger nor sorrow, as if she had buried all her feelings. In the bottom of my heart, afterwards, she gently stood up, turned around, but walked towards the entrance of the cave.
This action immediately surprised the other three people, and they all stood up at the same time. Monk Yongye first spoke and said in amazement: "Sister Zhong, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Qingzhu paused slightly and said calmly: "They may be out there or in danger, I will look for them."
Sun You frowned and interjected: "Qingzhu, Brother Yongye has made it very clear just now. Except for the cold and snow, even the monsters will not come out at night like this, and the stones should be fine. "
Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and said: "Monsters won't come out if they are afraid of the cold, but there is a kind of evil thing. Ignoring the cold and heat, maybe they will be found."
Yongye, Gan Ze and Sun You were all stunned and said, "What?"
Zhong Qingzhu said lightly: "Ghost."
Everyone was in a daze. Yongye took a step forward and solemnly said: "Junior Sister Zhong, the little monk has already said that there have been no ghosts on this northern snowy plain for many years."
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him, his face was as cold and plain as water waves, and even the words she said seemed to have a hint of chill, even though the voice was not loud, the three men present could hear clearly. Chu felt the sudden and even unusual firmness in her words:
"The stone said that day, there are ghosts on this snowy field."
She looked at the three men coldly. At the same moment, it seemed that the wind and snow outside the cave suddenly rushed, and even the sound of the cold wind became so miserable, coming in from a distance. A cold wind blew from the front, and Zhong Qingzhu's clothes floated slightly, as if her whole figure had taken a little chill at this moment. Then, her gaze fell on Yongye’s face, word by word, slowly and authentically,
"I believe him, not you!"
※※※
With a "huh!", the colder and colder woman turned around, as if there was a cold wind, which made the temperature in the cave much colder. During the step, the flame was suppressed until she The figure walked all the way out of the cave.
The three men stood in the cave and looked at each other with different expressions. For a long time, no one spoke, or no one knew what to say.
The wind and snow outside the cave, the moment Zhong Qingzhu walked out of the cave, swarmed and rushed toward her. She felt a bit of coldness, and she stood at the entrance of the hole and gently pulled the skirt.
Her hair hung on the sideburns, her cheeks were a little pale, and her soft face was slightly stunned in peace, she looked up at the black sky of night.
The night was deep and endless, like a dark sea, and she seemed to be standing at the bottom of this endless deep sea.
Under the wind and snow, there seemed to be a kind of sleepiness that couldn't breathe.
It’s just that she breathed out gently, not knowing whether she was facing the sky of night or herself in the darkness, and slowly showed a pale smile, her lips slightly opened, a little fragile at that moment , There is a faint and rare helplessness, pale cheeks and pale lips, in the wind and snow, there seems to be a small voice whispering:
"stone……"
Then she was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, shook her head and straightened her chest, all fragility disappeared from her face like a tide. She looked forward coldly and walked away. Step into the snow, step into the snow, the snow flies, the wind is screaming, the icy cold and the violent wind and snow are fierce like a fierce beast, and the fangs are exposed to her, and the darkness is whizzing from all directions, and her The figure slowly swallowed!
She walked forward alone, put aside the bright fire of the warm cave behind her, and walked into the darkness.
The wind and snow became more and more violent, and large swaths of snow mist rolled up for some reason, dancing and spinning behind her, instantly drowning all the traces of her footprints.
She walked farther and farther in the darkness, until the cave finally completely disappeared behind her. The darkness completely flooded the surroundings, leaving only the pale earth.
For a moment, Zhong Qingzhu suddenly raised his head and looked up at this dark night sky.
The cold wind blew up suddenly, and it suddenly split into two pieces behind her. A large swath of snow and mist blasted up and gathered into two large white snow curtains that swept across both sides of her body.
The darkness boiled instantly.
The night is like a demon roar.
Her face was icy and expressionless, but in those bright eyes, there was a strange sway in the clear pupils. At that moment, the corners of Zhong Qingzhu's mouth were twisted, and there was a trace of pain on her face, but she gritted her teeth severely without groaning.
Even if she is the only one left at this time, even if no one can be seen in the wind and snow, and even if the harsh wind has already overwhelmed everything...
She was just, alone, gritted her teeth coldly, looking up at the cold and lonely sky.
After a while, her eye pupils suddenly changed, and weird vertical snake pupils appeared in her eyes. At the same time, her body was dark and the cold wind was crying, and her body slowly floated up. , Step by step, walk into the black sky.
Two huge snow curtains, like frightening wings, slowly flapped and closed behind her, and a strange black shadow slowly emerged behind her.
Like a huge black snake entrenched in the night!
She was like a fierce beast resurrecting in the dark night, facing the sky full of wind and snow, walking slowly, toward the endless darkness, looking for something.
Her eyes were cold and light, but she always stared at the front, as if as long as she was in the depths of the snowy night, there was still hope that she would not give up, even in this dark night, she would walk over.
The dark blizzard rolled up crazy shadows and snowflakes, and plunged into the night with the mysterious shadows covered by the night.
