Chapter 43 Paper Umbrella
There were three corpses of two men and one woman lying on the ground, and they were wearing the same cultivation school clothes as the one just discovered, but the death conditions of these three corpses were much worse.

——These three people were obviously not frozen to death. They all had signs of fighting on their bodies. One of them was holding a broken sword tightly in his hand before dying, and the other two were holding broken The magic weapon that fell.

Mu Zixiao put An Qingyu down and let her touch the three of them.

The things that cultivators carry on their bodies are generally various medicines and talisman papers, apart from the gold, silver and money needed for daily life.

An Qingyu shook the two brocade bags in her hands, and several small medicine bottles fell out with finely crushed ice slag. An Qingyu shook the medicine bottles, but they were empty.

"...Who is this fighting with? I even finished taking the medicine, leaving nothing behind..."

An Qingyu touched the two relatively neat corpses, but found nothing, so she went to touch the last corpse with the worst appearance.There was a big hole in the chest of this corpse!His whole body was covered with blood-colored ice crystals, and both legs were broken and bent into strange shapes.

An Qingyu touched a brocade bag from the waist of the corpse. It was a little heavy, and she felt joy in her heart. She immediately shook the mouth of the bag downwards, and dozens of small gray stones fell from the bag to the ground.

"What, it's a few stones for a long time, why does this guy have so many stones on his body?"

Mu Zixiao picked up one piece, rubbed it in his hand a few times, threw it back to the ground, and said, "This is a spirit stone, but the spirit energy in it has been absorbed, it is estimated that this person's spirit energy dried up during the fight, so Absorbed the aura from the spirit stone."

"After absorbing so much spiritual energy, he died so badly in the end... Why don't you leave a few for the benefit of future generations..."

An Qingyu pouted, a little discouraged.What she needs most now is aura.Once there is spiritual energy in her body... Although she can't get out, at least she doesn't have to be so cold.

An Qingyu looked up and looked ahead, and was immediately stunned...

"My god... so many..."

On the floor tiles not far in front, there were about a dozen dead people lying here and there.An Qingyu stood up and looked further away, as expected, the corpse stretched all the way to the end of the corridor in the underground palace.

Fortunately, they were all frozen into ice cubes, and there was not much smell, otherwise, what kind of stench would it be inside?
"It's getting colder and colder. The main hall in front may be the center of this underground labyrinth." Mu Zixiao was not very interested in the corpses on the ground, and kept his eyes on the curved arch leading to the main hall.

This labyrinth is composed of countless halls, each hall has more than eight exits, and these exits lead to other halls, layer upon layer, with similar shapes, dazzling people.

An Qingyu said distressedly: "We've been trapped here for so long, isn't it daylight outside now?... I don't know if the Wu family army is attacking Liancheng now..."

"No, Yi Yun should have brought his troops here. As long as they don't run into Wu Shengqiang's main force and defend Liancheng, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then what if we meet?"

"If you encounter... it will be a hard battle."

An Qingyu had seen how abnormal Wu Shengqiang was, and when she heard Mu Zixiao say that Mu Yiyun might run into Wu Shengqiang, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

That's a figure who looks like a banished fairy, but don't be so smug!

Seeing that An Qingyu's expression was a little weird, Mu Zixiao asked sarcastically, "...What? Do you feel sorry for him?"

An Qingyu walked to the front with a limp, and while searching for valuables from the corpse, she said, "Don't you feel bad? That's your nephew."

Mu Zixiao followed unhurriedly, "He is already eighteen, and it's time for him to sharpen his skills."

"Oh, eighteen...then...you are his uncle, how old are you?"

"I'm a few years older than him, this year..."

It was rare for Mu Zixiao to be in the mood to chat with An Qingyu, but before he could tell his age, An Qingyu laughed loudly in front of him!

"Hahahaha!—Look at this umbrella! It's so much fun!"

Mu Zixiao pursed his lips, feeling a little depressed for some reason.

He endured it, stretched his fingers that were numb from the cold, and stepped over the corpses towards An Qingyu.

An Qingyu picked up a paper umbrella full of peach blossoms from the corpse, and as long as she shook it lightly, countless petals would dance from the paper umbrella.

There were still some blood stains on the umbrella, An Qingyu didn't care, just opened the paper umbrella, held the paper umbrella in a circle, countless peach blossom petals poured out, and danced around An Qingyu in an indescribable arc— —

Muzixiao saw An Qingyu giggling under the umbrella, the black dress and pink petals intertwined to form a magnificent picture, his pace faltered for a moment, and then resumed...

"You are lucky. This peach blossom umbrella is a good defensive spiritual weapon. Its owner seems to have died before opening it, so this spiritual weapon is still intact."

An Qingyu spun around, forgetting that she was still dragging an injured leg, and when she wanted to stop, she felt a sharp pain!
Snapped!An Qingyu fell to the ground!
"Limping and thinking about turning around, you really can see it." Mu Zixiao patiently pulled An Qingyu up from the ground, and did not forget to stab her a few words.

Although An Qingyu fell down, the good mood of picking up the treasure did not dissipate. Therefore, facing Mu Zixiao's sarcastic remarks, An Qingyu selectively ignored it. She cheerfully put away the umbrella in her hand and used it as a walking stick. Support yourself to move forward slowly.

Mu Zixiao silently followed behind An Qingyu.

The ice corpses along the way, no matter they were men, women, young or old, were unable to escape An Qingyu's clutches at the waist and chest. By the time the two of them finished walking this way, An Qingyu had harvested a total of 33 money bags.

An Qingyu strung the money bag on the paper umbrella like a string of balls, carried it on her shoulder and continued walking.

At the end of the road, there is a bronze gate about three feet high. The gate is half-closed, and it is also covered with ice. There are three or five corpses on both sides of the gate. Judging from the posture before death, it seems that they want to put this gate to death. The door closes, but...

An Qingyu kicked over one of the corpses, and saw a big hole in the chest of the corpse, and the blood condensed into crimson frost on the chest——

An Qingyu felt that this method of death was quite artistic, with a hint of a blood rose blooming.

It seems that these people were killed before they could close the gate.

There should still be a large hall on the other side of the gate, because An Qingyu and Mu Zixiao have passed through countless bronze gates like this.The scenery behind each door is similar to the main hall.

An Qingyu peeked in through the crack of the door——

"what……"

"What did you find?" Mu Zixiao asked.

An Qingyu went in directly through the crack of the door, and only the voice wafted into Mu Zixiao's ears: "There's a big ice cube here!"

Seeing An Qingyu's figure flashing behind the door suddenly, Mu Zixiao's heart ached!Why is this guy so bold!Go in without hesitation!If there's anything in there--

"Hey, come and take a look, there seems to be something in this big ice cube..."

When An Qingyu's voice reached Mu Zixiao again safely, Mu Zixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and replied a little impatiently, "Don't touch it! There's something weird in it!"

Mu Zixiao turned sideways and walked in through the door that was as wide as one person. When he saw the huge ice cube in front of him, he was also surprised!
The hall is extremely empty!There were also several corpses lying around, and in the very center of the hall stood a huge block of ice!

Rather than saying it is an ice cube, it is better to say it is a huge ice lump!
It is light blue in color, with irregular cut surfaces, and a cloud of gray inside. It doesn't look like it was frozen all at once, but it should have been frozen layer by layer.

At this moment, An Qingyu was pressing her face against the lump of ice, looking inside hard.

"...Is there any treasure hidden here? Look at the dead bodies around here, are they all here to snatch the treasure..."

Holding back his anger, Mu Zixiao walked over and tore An Qingyu away from the ice.

"You have picked up more than 30 purses, are you still not satisfied? Stay away from this ice, I don't want to die inexplicably!"

An Qingyu gave Mu Zixiao a very displeased look, thinking that this person is really rude!
Mu Zixiao grabbed An Qingyu's wrist, pulled her away from the ice, and only let go when he walked to a clean place without dead bodies.

He sat down and closed his eyes to rest. ——Looking for the exit all the way has consumed a lot of his physical strength, and now his legs are a little numb from the cold.

I can't go on like this anymore... I must find the exit as soon as possible, otherwise I might really freeze to death here...

An Qingyu also noticed that there was something wrong with Mu Zixiao's complexion. She approached slowly, sent her tail towards her, and asked flatteringly, "My lord... are you okay? Your complexion is very bad..."

After being circled by the fox's tail, Mu Zixiao felt a little better. He opened his eyes and saw An Qingyu's expression of caring for him.

As soon as he was in a better mood, his tone softened, "I'm fine, you can sit down and rest too. If I'm not wrong, the thing in the ice is the murderer who killed these people. It should have been taken by these cultivators. Encircled and suppressed, and finally sealed in ice, don't act rashly to avoid accidents..."

An Qingyu felt that there was something wrong with the way Mu Zixiao looked at her. Why did it feel...as if...a little...warm?Hasn't he always been cold to himself? ...It must be an illusion, right? ...

An Qingyu suddenly felt uncomfortable, she turned her eyes away from Mu Zixiao's face, and looked at the ice cube in the center of the hall, trying to distract herself.

"It's so cold here, let me see if there's anything I can use in these bags."

An Qingyu rubbed her hands, dumped the string of money bags on the peach umbrella in front of her, and began to check them one by one.

　I asked the editor for a two-month leave. During these two months, I couldn't keep the daily update, so I could only update it from time to time. I would like to say sorry to everyone.

　　Two months later, when my affairs are settled, the update will resume.
