Taiqing Sword

Chapter 66, Southern Border Snowfield

Shangguan Jinghong gritted his teeth: "Old Qin, I must go to the southern snowfield."

Qin Zheng sighed, knowing that Shangguan Jinghong couldn't be stopped, so he could only say: "My lord, if this is the case, then this old slave will accompany you."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand and said, "Since it's too dangerous, you don't want to go, I'll go by myself."

"Young master, what are you talking about? The old servant's life is the young master's. How can he be afraid of danger? If so, people won't say that the old slave is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Qin Zheng said displeased.

"Mr. Qin, I know you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I have decided to go alone."

Qin Zheng bowed his head in silence, and said after a while: "My lord, later." Turning around, he went up to the attic, and after a while he came down with a dusty box in his hand.

"Young Master, this item was received by the old slave from a down-and-out warrior by chance. The old slave has searched through the ancient books, and only mentions this item in the records of the Southern Border Snowfield. The old slave does not know about this item. It's good or bad to carry it with you, but it's the only thing that has something to do with the snowfields in southern Xinjiang." He said and handed over the box.

Shangguan Jinghong took the box and opened it gently, only to see that there was a jade finger in the box, but it was not actually jade, it was hard to tell what kind of material it was, and the whole body was blue. Shangguan Jinghong held it in his hand and felt a chill Piercing the palm of his hand: "Old Qin, this thing is very cold, maybe it is really related to Xueyuan."

"Well, when that person came, I felt that he was infested by the cold air. It's just that I didn't know him and didn't remind him. Maybe we should have a good relationship at the beginning. Maybe that person came out of the southern Xinjiang snowfield."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded when he heard the words: "Forget it, some things cannot be forced."

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door: "Is anyone there?"

Qin Zheng frowned slightly: "It's so late, who is it?"

"Open the door quickly."

Reluctantly, Qin Zheng looked at Shangguan Jinghong, walked over and opened the door. He really said that Cao Cao had arrived, and he just mentioned the person who sells the finger, and this person came.

Qin Zheng was taken aback when he saw the person coming: "It's you?"

"Yes, it's me."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at the person who came, and saw that this person was about 50 to [-] years old, wearing a heavy cotton padded coat, and was still trembling. Although Qin Zheng didn't introduce him, based on what he learned from Qin Zheng just now, Shangguan Jinghong concluded that this person Bacheng is the person who sells the finger.

"Shopkeeper, that, can you give me back that wrench?"

Qin Zheng was surprised for a while, then smiled: "Sir, I'm really sorry, that item has already been sold."

The man was anxious when he heard the words: "Sold? When did you sell it? Who did you sell it to?"

"This gentleman is really good at joking. He said that the old man doesn't know the person who bought the finger ring. Even if he did, he wouldn't disclose the name of the customer!"

"Oh, shopkeeper, that finger puller is really important to me. Please help me and tell me, even if you tell me what that person looks like."

Shangguan Jinghong was a little curious now, and stepped forward: "Then where did you get the finger?"

The man glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, and said angrily, "Who are you?"

Qin Zheng said: "This is my son."

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately changed his face: "Oh, hey, there are really people who don't know Mount Tai. This young man, I beg you, please give me back that wrench?"

"Well, let's talk about where the finger puller came from, and why you are in a hurry to redeem it."

The man looked anxious, but didn't say a word.

Shangguan Jinghong sighed lightly, and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, Mr. Qin will see you off."

As soon as the man heard the order to evict the guest, he became even more anxious: "Don't, don't, don't! I just said it."

"Hey, it's a long story."

Shangguan Jinghong found a place to sit down and motioned for that person to sit down too: "No hurry, there is plenty of time, take your time."

"It was more than a year ago. I sneaked down the mountain from the teacher's gate. Who knew I lost my way in a forest. I just felt that the more I walked, the colder I went. I wanted to ask someone for directions, but I couldn't even see a person on the road. No, just when I thought I couldn't get out of the woods, a vast expanse of whiteness suddenly opened up in front of me! Although it was extremely cold, the scenery was beautiful, so I walked all the way in, about ten miles I felt like I was going to be cracked by the cold, and I lost my mind to look at the scenery, so I wanted to turn my head and go back, but when I turned around, I realized that the way I came here was no longer available, and my footprints were covered by the university. When I got on it, I had no choice but to continue walking in. Just when I felt that I was about to freeze to death, I found an ice hole, and I was so happy that I went straight in."

Shangguan Jinghong waved Qin Zheng to pour him a glass of water.

The man took the water, took a big sip and said, "I thought it would be warmer in the cave, but it was colder in the cave. Just when I was about to climb out of the cave, I saw a crystal body in the cave." Out of curiosity, I walked over to have a look. There was a woman in the crystal coffin. I only took one look at it and I will never forget it in my life. The crystal clear skin was so beautiful. I opened the coffin lid and touched her face with my hand. The face was not warm at all. Although this woman was beautiful, I just wanted to live at that time, so I moved her out of the crystal coffin, lay in it by myself, and closed the coffin lid. It really became much warmer until I felt I have almost recovered, I opened the coffin lid again, climbed out, and I took the finger off the woman's hand."

Shangguan Jinghong and Qin Zheng looked at each other. This person should be talking about the Southern Xinjiang Snowfield.

"Then why did you redeem the wrench?"

"Young master, shopkeeper, you don't know something. It's God who pities me. It took me seven days to come out of that ghostly place with that finger on my body. But since I put on the finger, I feel cold all over. Sometimes I feel like a dead person, as long as I take off the finger, it will be much better, I wonder if the finger is an ominous thing, so I sold it."

"In that case..."

Shangguan Jinghong was about to interject, but was interrupted by that person: "Young master, don't worry, I was just about to talk about this, I thought it would be fine if I sold it, but this year, I have suffered a lot, as long as I arrive At night, I was so cold that I didn’t even dare to lie down, not to mention sleep, but in the daytime? Come to think of it, I haven't practiced any evil skills this year, and I haven't been a teacher, the only possibility is that I redeemed it because of the finger pull..."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, thinking to himself, these are the two poles, when the extreme cold becomes hot, and when the extreme heat becomes cold: "Stretch out your hand."

The man was stunned for a moment, and Qin Zheng poked him: "What are you doing in a daze, my son is also quite accomplished in medical skills, he just wants to see what's going on with you."

The man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately stretched out his hand, Shangguan Jinghong's fingers touched the man's pulse lightly, his brows became more and more tightly frowned, this is not a human pulse, he couldn't feel the beating at all, the blood flow was extremely slow, It seemed to be frozen: "It's so strange."

The man hurriedly asked, "My lord, how are you doing?"

Shangguan Jinghong said: "If my prediction is correct, you not only feel hot during the day, but also your pulse is very fast, your heartbeat is very fast, like a galloping wild horse rushing around in your body?"

The man opened his mouth wide: "Yes, yes, yes, young master, please show mercy and save me."

"The cold air enters the body, you are not strong enough to resist it, but you are also considered a strange person, other people would have died long ago, but you just endured a little bit of suffering."

"A little bit? Suffering? Young master, it is so painful."

"Okay, let me try to see if I can relieve the coldness in your body."

Shangguan Jinghong used Taiji Xuantian Kungfu Hainan Baichuan, and began to absorb the cold air in the person's body, but he only absorbed a little internal energy, but the cold air did not move at all, Shangguan Jinghong was shocked: "How did you feel just now?"

"It seems, it seems to be colder."

Shangguan Jinghong pondered for a while: "How is your martial arts recently?"

"Hey, speaking of this, I'm even more worried. During this period of time, although I endured pain, I persisted in practicing martial arts. However, instead of making progress, my martial arts got worse and worse."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded and smiled: "It's okay." As he spoke, a wave of heaven and earth energy was introduced into the person's body through Shangguan Jinghong's hand: "How is it now?"

"It's so comfortable."

After a while, Shangguan Jinghong withdrew his palm: "What about now?"

"It seems, it seems that it's really not that cold anymore, thank you, thank you son."

Shangguan Jinghong touched the man's pulse again, and found that the blood flow and pulse beat were normal, and then felt the coldness in his body, which was constantly eating away the air of heaven and earth, Shangguan Jinghong withdrew his hand: "This method can only protect you. For a while, it can't keep you for a lifetime, how about this, you take me to the places you have been to, maybe I can find a way to cure you."

The man looked embarrassed: "Young master, it's not that I don't want to go. At that time, I also lost my way and got there. Let me look for it, but I really can't find it."

"Then take me to the place where you got lost. Before I go in, I will cure you again. Then, you come back here and wait for me to come back. Maybe I can bring back a method to cure you."

The man gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "Well, let's rest here today, by the way, what's your name?"

"Lu Cheng."

"Okay, Lu Cheng, let's set off early tomorrow morning."

After sending Lu Cheng away, Shangguan Jinghong said to Qin Zheng: "I'm basically sure that the place he went to is the southern Xinjiang snowfield, and I have a general understanding of the cold air there. From the looks of it, it seems that the Hanyue Sect has more than [-] innate masters, and it is not an exaggeration at all."

"Then, son, let this old slave accompany you."

"No, now that I know, then I have to go alone. The innate realm and the cold air there can't help me, but you are different. Your strength will be greatly reduced when you get there."

Qin Zheng knew that Shangguan Jinghong had lost his mind: "Well then, son, you must be more careful."

"Well, I heard from Lu Cheng that he came across the ice coffin not long after he entered the snow field. If the ice coffin was made of ice crystals, I just need to bring the ice coffin back. There is no need to go deep."

"Even so, you better be careful, my lord!"

"Ah."

Southern Xinjiang Snowfield... Ning Xin, I will definitely get an ice coffin for you.
