Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 420

The weather in Saibei is extremely dry, the north wind is howling, the grass is withered and the leaves are yellow, and the temperature is also cold.

After Yunqing and the others arrived, with the help of the Four Monsters in Saibei, they quickly found the Holy Land of Bingchi - a deep cave in the Yanbei underground of Changbai Mountain, a hidden place that is only a legend in the eyes of the world.


It is said that it was the tomb of Emperor Yan in ancient times. There is a magical ice pool in which the ice coffin of Emperor Yan was soaked. The untransformed body is faintly visible.

However, the water in the pool is extremely cold. No matter what falls into the pool, it will be frozen into ice instantly, and then it will be eaten by the two holy beasts born from eating the water of the ice pool all year round - the ice unicorn. survived.


And those two ice unicorns, it is said that they were the two holy beasts in front of Emperor Yan when he was born, they made countless contributions to Emperor Yan, and after the death of Emperor Yan, it was these two ice unicorns that brought his people to this place , using the ice water sprayed from the mouth of the ice unicorn to cast a large ice coffin, and buried in the ice pond from then on, it will not rot for thousands of years, and it is even miraculous.


However, the legend is true or false, so far no one has verified.

On the eighth day of August, when Yun Qing, Ouyang Chuchu and Hua Heng accompanied Xuanyuan Yi to wait for the news at the foot of the mountain, they felt faintly uneasy.


Xuanyuanze, Dongfangfeng and the four Saibei monsters entered the ice cellar for the first time on the third day of junior high school to check the terrain and conditions. After returning, they thought that the two unicorns were extremely fierce. Wakes up instantly even when resting.


At that time, Dongfangfeng tried to shoot the flying needle in his hand at the ice unicorn, but the silver needle pierced into the unicorn's body, it was useless and could not hurt at all.

Moreover, the temperature in the cave was extremely cold, and the few people only hid far away at the entrance of the cave and did not enter, but their bodies were already shivering from the stimulation of the cold air.Xuanyuan Ze threw the scabbard into the pool, and it was frozen into ice by the water of the ice pool, and the sheath, which was originally inlaid with the gold pendant, quickly shattered, which was shocking.


In this way, several people had no choice but to return without success. Combining the truth discovered by the visit with the rumors heard by the four monsters in northern Saibei, they found that the rumors were completely true.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone was discussing to enter the ice pool again, Xuanyuan Yi, who had been in good health until now, fell ill again, and the situation was fierce. Although Dongfang Feng and others worked together to subdue him, Xuanyuan Yi The damage is also great.


Xuanyuan Yi, who had almost exhausted his vitality, originally planned to enter the ice pool with them, but the attack made him unconscious until now. At this moment, Xuanyuan Yi was in a coma. Entering the ice pool, but until this moment, no one came out.


There are only seven days left before the mid-autumn festival, Yun Qing looked at the sleepy Xuanyuan Yi, worried about the safety of Ze and Feng, and because of the discomfort of the water and soil, her Qi and blood became worse and worse; His body became cold all over, and his face was shockingly pale.

But among the four, only Hua Heng supported and took care of everyone.


Another day passed, and Xuanyuan Yi finally regained consciousness under the joint efforts of Hua Heng and Ouyang Chuchu.

Seeing Yun Qing standing in front of his bed with slightly red eyes, he lifted his aching arm with difficulty, gently held her cold little hands, and said with pity: "Why are you crying like this? I'm fine. ".


"Yi, it's good if you wake up..." Seeing Yi wake up, Yun Qing's worries finally eased, and he opened his mouth, and the hoarse voice dimmed Xuanyuan Yi's handsome eyes, filled with pity.

Sitting up gently, he looked at the gray sky and asked aloud: "What day is it today, where are Brother Wang and the others?".


Tears blurred Yun Qing's eyes, she looked at Xuanyuan Yi with a weak complexion, originally she didn't want to tell him that Ze and Feng had gone to the ice pool and hadn't returned yet, but the worry in her heart made her reveal her thoughts, with just one mouth, Tears couldn't stop rolling down: "They, they went to the ice pool...".


"When did it happen? Yesterday?" Seeing Yun Qing who was so worried, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but tighten his expression, and asked anxiously while holding her hand tightly.

But Yun Qing shook his head, tears dripping down the back of his hands: "It's been, three days...".

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the ninth day, under Yun Qing's worry and reluctance, Xuanyuan Yi insisted on going to Bingchi to look for Brother Wang and the others.

Although Yun Qing wanted to go with him, but he didn't know martial arts, if he went, he might become a burden to them.

Ouyang Chuchu insisted on going down with Xuanyuan Yi. Hua Heng originally insisted that Chuchu accompany Yunqing and go with the prince himself; but Ouyang Chuchu insisted that he did not know martial arts, but his own martial arts was not bad, and he had medicine Self-defense, going down can at least help some.


In this way, Ouyang Chuchu was in charge of carrying dry food, and Xuanyuan Yi was exploring the way ahead. The two bid farewell to Yun Qing and Hua Heng, and entered the extremely cold place that directly leads to the underground cave.

But when he went down, a gust of dark wind hit his face, Xuanyuan Yi saw the woman behind him carrying such a big burden and pulled him so far, he couldn't help but stop, turned around and waited for her to come closer.


With the torch in his hand, he saw that Chu Chu's face was very pale, but there was faint sweat dripping from his forehead, obviously because he couldn't keep up with him but followed the road.

I couldn't help but apologize in my heart, and stretched out my hand: "Give me the burden, you can rest for a while!".


Ouyang Chuchu stared blankly, looking at the man who spoke softly to him and offered to help him, he was stunned.

After a while, she came back to her senses, only to find that the burden on her shoulders had been taken away by Xuanyuan Yi, and the man walking in front of her was still slender and graceful, and had already turned around and continued on.


The flames are reflected on the stalactites on both sides, which are strangely shaped and very strange.

Originally looking at these things made people feel a little terrified, but at this moment, Ouyang Chuchu only felt warm in his heart, and even the palms of his hands, which had never known what warmth was, were no longer cold at this moment.


I don't know how long I went forward, but the strange rocks on both sides have gradually disappeared, and the secret passage just now has become wider and brighter.

I can't tell what kind of light makes the bottom of such a cave glow, but the walls on both sides seem to be coated with a layer of sparkling powder. Ouyang Chuchu curiously stretched out his hand to wipe it, and found that his palms would glow.


"These light sources are so strange!" He couldn't help admiring, Xuanyuan Yi in front of him slowed down, looked at it carefully, and said lightly: "This seems to be a fluorescent stone left from ancient times! It is said that this kind of stone is The tortoise shell of a mysterious sea turtle in the deep sea has been dried into a huge stone after thousands of years of wind and rain. Presumably, this is the strange turtle stone recorded in the ancient book, also known as the fluorescent stone."


Ouyang Chuchu couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked carefully again, and found that under the thin fluorescent light, it really looked like a piece of tortoise shell pattern, and she couldn't help but wonder: "It really looks like a tortoise shell, Yi ,how do you know?".

After finishing speaking, she thought of something again and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, annoyed at the fact that she had exposed the fact that she had recovered her memory in front of Xuanyuan Yi.


But Xuanyuan Yi Hao didn't care, just smiled lightly, and said: "When I was young, I just liked to read the ancient books in the palace. There are many magical records handed down from the ancient times. It was my childhood, the best partner."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and continued to move forward.

But after hearing his remark, Ouyang Chuchu's mood immediately darkened.


She knew that he suffered from blood gu disease since he was a child, and he lived alone in the palace without getting along with others. Thinking back to his childhood, he was also extremely cold and lonely.

As he said just now, his leisure time is actually just accompanied by books, what kind of loneliness it must be.


"My lord!"

"There is no one else here, you'd better call me Yi like you did just now! Chuchu!" Xuanyuan Yi interrupted Ouyang Chuchu's voice, making her forget what she just wanted to say in an instant. She just opened her mouth wide and didn't know for a moment What to say.


Chu Chu, Chu Chu!
He didn't call himself Lian Er anymore, but actually called himself Chu Chu, he, what does he know?
"I, I..." My heart suddenly became chaotic.

She really didn't know if he knew about the restoration of her memory, but she had an agreement with Hua Heng, so he probably didn't know about it.


"Chuchu, in fact, your memory has been restored when you returned to the palace, right?" It was Xuanyuan Yi who broke the deadlock, and he didn't turn around, just talking while walking, as if he was too lonely It's like needing to talk to kill boredom.

But Ouyang clearly understands that he is not such a person.


Sighing, she still nodded in admission.

"Yes. You know everything?" Although she was puzzled, at this moment, her heart suddenly relaxed.

It turns out that amnesia is really not an easy thing, whether it is real amnesia or fake amnesia, this heavy burden in my heart has always been weighing on me.


"Hehe!" Hearing a low laugh from the man in front of him, Chu Chu's heart almost skipped a beat when he said these words, he looked at his back in a daze, and heard him continue: "Maybe you don't know, actually When I fell into a coma, I could still hear outside voices."


It's not that he doesn't know about some things, but he has always ignored her.

Chu Chu, the woman who accompanied him all the way here, his life may be coming to an end soon, but he is doomed to let her down.


"You, can you hear it?" As if a thunderbolt had struck him, Ouyang Chuchu felt his whole body go numb, except that his mouth could open and close, but the voice in his ears gradually became inaudible.

"What's more, although you and Hua Heng are called brothers and sisters, after you recovered your memory, Hua Heng never called you Lian'er again. Although this is only a small change, I guessed it...".


Xuanyuan Yi's voice became a little ethereal, Ouyang Chuchu couldn't tell what he heard, or maybe everything was just an illusion.

He heard it, he could hear it...


Only when she stopped in place and did not move, did she vaguely see that Xuanyuan Yi stopped and turned around again, Junyi's eyes were clear and intoxicating: "I'm sorry, Chuchu!".


Tears rolled down unconsciously.

It wasn't a dream, it turned out that he really knew everything already.

Hehe, Ouyang Chuchu, in fact, you are the only one who wants to pretend to be absent all this time, and he, in fact, has never cared.


Sniffing her nose hard, Ouyang Chuchu gave that person a big smile, and suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that suddenly the world is wide and the sky is full of pride!

She raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that rolled down unconsciously, and her smile was as bright as a summer flower: "Needless to say I'm sorry, Yi, it was my wish to accompany you here. I want to thank you for making my wish come true." This wish!"


The most beautiful scene in my life is meeting you.

In the vast sea of ​​people, quietly staring at you, strange and familiar.

Although I breathe the breath of the same sky, I can't embrace you.

It's like changing the identity and name of time and space, I hope to recognize your eyes.

Where will you be in a thousand years, and what kind of scenery will you have around you?

Our story is not beautiful, but it is, unforgettable.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dongfangfeng and Xuanyuanze were both slightly injured in the extremely cold place of ice pond, but the Winter Melon Man among the Four Monsters of the Northern Saibei was unfortunately frozen by the ice water ejected from the mouth of the ice unicorn because of leading the ice unicorn out of the ice cellar. The one-armed man was pierced through the shoulder blade by the unicorn's unicorn because he saved the Winter Melon Man. At this time, with the help of Dongfang Feng and others, he was carried out of the ice cellar, but his injury was too serious to last. how long.


"I'm sorry, brother..." Dongfang Feng clenched his fists, looking at the dying one-armed man and the winter melon man who had turned into an iceman, his handsome eyes were gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were protruding. He turned around and wanted to rush into the cellar.

"Calm down." Xuanyuanze and the ecstasy both stopped him. They accidentally touched the closing switch of the tomb, but they had to be in the ice cellar to find the opening, and the two unicorns were so fierce that they couldn't get close. No, not to mention retrieving the unicorn blood now, even the few of them can no longer go out safely.


"We will definitely think of a solution. The most worrying thing now is that we have run out of food. If we can't open the mechanism to go out, I'm afraid we will really die here." Xuanyuan Ze held up the purple gold sword that cuts gold and cuts jade. A sword slashed on the stone wall gate, but it only splashed a dazzling golden light, and the cut could not be broken at all.


"Damn it, let me go in and kill those two beasts!" As soon as Dongfang Feng's long sword was raised, he wanted to fly in again, but this time it was not long enough to stop him quickly, his eyes were bloodshot, Shen Sheng said: "Brother, I will go in with you, I want to avenge Fat Winter Melon!".


"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the Ecstasy Envoy's long whip slammed vigorously onto the stone wall, roaring: "You two want to die, no one will stop you. Just listen clearly, if our entire army is wiped out this time, Not only can't the one outside be saved, they will even find it again, and when the time comes, everyone will be buried here!".


"Yun'er!" Xuanyuan Ze tightened his palms, and immediately stepped forward and drew his sword to Dongfang Feng when he heard the sound, and said angrily: "You are crazy! We still have strength now, if we die here on impulse, don't you think Yun'er will die here?" Did you come here to give those two unicorns a delicious meal because you were worried about us?".


After finishing speaking, he saw Dongfang Feng's handsome eyebrows move slightly, and then continued: "I know that your martial arts are superb and superb, but you must know that what we are facing now is not humans or beasts, but ancient martial arts. The two god beasts that came down. Their abilities are beyond our imagination. If we want to escape here and take out the unicorn blood to help Yidi, then we can only outsmart them!".

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Chuchu, come and help me!" The road was suddenly blocked when we came here, Xuanyuan Yi knocked on the densely packed boulder in front, and heard a booming sound coming from inside.

He pondered for a moment, then looked around again, and found that although the stone was tightly sealed, there were still some signs of opening and closing; he couldn't help but suddenly realized why Brother Wang and the others didn't come back for so many days.


Thinking that they had found out about the ice pool last time, there was no reason why there was no road without seeing the ice pool at this time. It must be the reason why this huge boulder blocked the inside and outside.

So, he handed the burden to Ouyang Chuchu's hand, and fumbled to find the switch on the stone wall, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace.


"How could this happen? Could it be that the mechanism is inside?" Ouyang Chuchu also saw the clues at this time, thinking that King Xiaoyao, Young Master Dongfang and others were all trapped inside, she couldn't help worrying secretly.

"I must open this place!" Xuanyuan Yi persisted in searching for the mechanism button, with a heavy expression on his face.


At this moment, whether he can get the Qilin is no longer important to him, what is important is that he must not implicate others because of himself, and let them be buried at the bottom of the hole because of himself.


"Yi, there seems to be something here!" Ouyang Chuchu was also full of anxiety, but she couldn't find any traces after helping her find it for a long time, so she couldn't help being so tired that she wanted to put the burden on the ground first.

But when she saw the dust on the ground, she was afraid that the bag would be dirty, so she found a slightly clean stone near the rock wall to put it on, but when she leaned over to put the bag, she saw that the shape of the stone was extremely strange .


Xuanyuan Yi stopped the movement of his hands when he heard the sound, went to have a look, and found that it was a stone with strange shapes engraved on it.

The stone itself is no different from ordinary stones, but it is strange that the carving on the stone looks like a person, and it also looks like a person kneeling and kowtowing right in front of the middle of the door of the stone wall.


Xuanyuanze saw the big difference, and with a thought, he ran to the middle of the stone wall to look at the ground. After careful consideration, he found a strange sound from a ground stone.

The sound was extremely soft, no wonder he was so focused on groping for the stone wall that he forgot to check the ground, it turned out that the switch was on the ground.


So, he found the right position, stepped on it vigorously with his foot, and the cave door, which was still tight just now, slowly opened from bottom to top with a bang.

"It really is here!" Xuanyuan Yi saw that there was a cave inside, and couldn't help shouting happily: "Chuchu, let's go in.".
