Between mountains and seas

Chapter 159 Nuwa's Arrangement

Huo Qing simply didn't know how he could make up the scene of Nuwa's feat of driving a candle dragon to open a waterway into a scene of carrot fishing for a donkey. This must be deeply influenced by Shao Jingxing!

Yes, even though Zhulong is about to wake up at this moment and everyone is about to face danger, Huo Qing is thinking about Shao Jingxing at this moment, thinking about what he will say when he hears this, and thinking that he must be very sorry for not being able to see it in person Looking at the strange scenery of the Valley of Stars, I think that there is probably no chance to tell him these words...

Yes, probably no chance.Huo Qing glanced at Gu Rong, he had already guessed Gu Rong's secret, and also guessed that Gu Rong would not last long.So, as Gu Rong said, they can come in, but they can't get out.

Then, he would have no chance to see Shao Jingxing again.Even though at this moment, he could feel that Shao Jingxing was still alive through the bloodstain of the green clam on his wrist.

But that's enough.Huo Qing thought in a daze, instead of both of them being trapped here, wouldn't it be great if one of them could get out alive?As the saying goes, it is better to forget each other than to be in love with each other. Shao Jingxing can find another boyfriend. After all, he was quite romantic in the past, wasn't he?

So it won't be long before Shao Jingxing will forget about him and go have fun with others, right?Thinking of this, Huo Qing suddenly felt a burst of sharp jealousy - just thinking about Shao Jingxing's fascinated eyes on others, he wanted to draw out his knife and chop a few people!

It is said that before a person dies, the deepest memories in this life will flash like a revolving lantern. Huo Qing doesn't know if this is true, but the scenes from the past are indeed flashing in his mind now, but, all It belonged to Shao Jingxing.

There is the embarrassed look of him running wildly and fleeing in the dense spider forest; there is also the silly look of him with a face of "Is this a rabbit or a pig?"; and the cowardly look of him crying "I don't know the way" What's more, he looks like he wants to stick his tongue out after training...

But it is very strange, all these scenes are so cute to him now, embarrassment is cute, stupid is cute, cowardly is cute, miserable is also cute.Of course, there are cuter ones, such as the way he talks nonsense with He Maochuan, or the way he strides into the cemetery holding the Tongtian Rhinoceros in his hand, or the way he talks and laughs and makes jokes about Tang Dynasty...

Of course, the cutest thing is the way he lays down awkwardly, whether it’s lying on the joints of the foot pillar, or on the bed in the hotel, while enjoying himself, he still wants to fight back from time to time and then be suppressed back...

Huo Qing wiped his face vigorously, and suppressed the lovely face in his mind, like carefully wrapping a photo in plastic, and then put it in the deep drawer.As long as Shao Jingxing is still alive, he has his mission.

"What should we do now?" He asked Gu Rong this question.Nuwa used the candle dragon to open up water channels, but now only a small part of the channel is blocked and diverted, and there is no need for the candle dragon to return to the road, and none of them can control the candle dragon.So at present, Candle Dragon is useless to them, but has become a trouble.

Without hesitation, Zhang Sheng said, "Of course I want to find a way to throw it out!" Let Zhulong continue to sleep!

"This——" Ji Yan looked at Gu Rong, "Do you have a solution?" Gu Rong brought them in. Although he said he was unable to take them out again, there must be a way for a gem, right?

"I can set up a talisman to help, as long as I tear a small hole—" Ji Suo touched his palate with the tip of his tongue, and he gasped in pain. To tear this hole open, he had to bite his tongue again , must be bitten.

"Wait!" Bai Xin had been silent for a long time, and then she suddenly said, "Zhulong is very weak."

"Weakness?" Zhang Sheng looked at the piece of rubble that was swept down by the candle dragon's tail.

"Yes." Bai Xin stared at Candle Dragon who was blinking slowly, his eyes slightly lit up with green light, and glanced up and down Candle Dragon's body, "Nu Wa left this gem just for us to take it with us. It came in. Because the candle dragon has been sleeping for too long, it needs this gemstone to replenish its energy, otherwise the candle dragon will die. I think the weakening of the enchantment may not only be due to the blockage of the water channels of the talisman array, the temperature here should also be the same as the original Times are different.”

Huo Qing suddenly remembered He Maochuan's words: "He needs to ward off the cold rhinoceros!"

As an onmyoji, He Maochuan is protected by shikigami even if his body is weak.However, he needed the cold rhinoceros to dare to enter "Lengchuan" to get five-color stones, which is enough to prove how cold "Lengchuan" was recorded by his ancestors.What's more, the so-called "Lengchuan" is just a small section of water on the edge of Zhongshan Valley, and the ancestors of He Maochuan didn't even see Candle Dragon at all.

But after they entered the valley, it was cold, but it was like an ordinary northern winter, with minus ten degrees below zero.This kind of temperature is nothing to a supernatural being, let alone a treasure like Pihanxi.It can be seen that the power of Candle Dragon has indeed been weakened a lot, but everyone was attracted by this galaxy-like water flow, but did not realize this change for a while.

If it was Ka Maochuan who came in, he would probably be overjoyed, but to the action team, the news was like a bolt from the blue.Zhang Sheng felt that his mentality was going to collapse: "So, this gem can't be thrown yet? Then what should we do? How can Zhulong use this gem to replenish energy? Should we return the gem to it? Once it recovers, we will be finished first right?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.In fact, they were already mentally prepared for the annihilation of the entire army. The problem is that after the annihilation, this gem will still belong to Zhulong. Will Zhulong still sleep?If Zhulong doesn't sleep anymore, can the talisman formation that Nuwa has worked so hard to set up still be able to maintain its operation?If not, wouldn't the barrier be completely broken?

Zhang Sheng was about to jump into a rage; "We came in together, and instead made friends with the enchantment?" If we didn't come in, maybe the enchantment would last for a while longer?

"Impossible!" The temperature was so low, but Ji Yan's forehead was sweating, and the compass in his hand turned quickly, "Nuwa will not ignore this problem, there must be a solution!"

However, before he could calculate a result, a low howling sounded, and Zhulong's eyes were fully opened, looking at the red light behind Huo Qing.

The howl was deep and deep, and no weakness could be heard at all. Following the howl, Zhulong's head lifted up, and two streams of white air spewed out of its nostrils.

The white air has not yet reached the front, the chill has already been like a thin needle pricking the face, standing in the front Zhuang Juan suddenly raised his arms, two vines rushed out, but just as the front leaves opened, a layer formed Hoarfrost, the entire vine froze, and then there was a crackling sound from the front end, and a series of spider web-like cracks went from front to back——with a bang, it turned into pieces like glass slag.

However, the speed at which the white air stretched forward also slowed down a bit. Zhuang Juan had embraced his arms and retreated to the side. Countless leaves surrounded him layer by layer. The outermost layer was frozen into a thin glass ball, but the inner leaves still keep green

There was Zhuang Juan who blocked it, and everyone else dodged too. A large white frost had formed where they were standing just now, and even those who didn't react so quickly like Ji Yan even had ice on the bottom of their trousers.

"Did you make a mistake!" Zhang Sheng rubbed his hands together frantically, and pulled a blue light flashing electric ball between his palms, "This is called very weak?" crush!God, with such a big Candle Dragon, how effective is the electric ball he rubbed out?

"Don't attack!" Huo Qing suddenly pinched Zhang Sheng's shoulder, and the numbness spread to his elbow. Zhang Sheng's body was tilted, and the electric ball was half extinguished, and he was annoyed: "Then what to do! Do you want to die? "

Huo Qing ignored his angry questioning, but tightened his backpack, and turned to ask Bai Xin, "Is Zhulong recovering?"

Bai Xin froze for a moment, then understood what he meant: "Yes. Now it can be concluded that as long as the gem is kept within a certain distance, the candle dragon will recover." I don't know what the principle of this gem is, maybe it has something to do with the candle Dragons are a kind of symbiotic relationship, and even this gem is a part of Candle Dragon's body, such as the heart outside the body?

But now is not the time to study this matter, because Bai Xin has already thought about what Huo Qing is going to do: "You can't do this, it's too dangerous! Candle Dragon is slow to move now, but it will become more and more flexible as it recovers. You A little carelessness will..."

Zhang Sheng didn't realize until now: "Are you going to lead the candle dragon?"

Huo Qing looked up at Candle Dragon's huge head that was slowly raised: "It will damage the talisman formation during the battle. I'll lure it away, and you guys find a way. Ji Yan is right, Nuwa will definitely consider this issue and leave Come up with a solution!"

"Hey, you—" Zhang Sheng wanted to stop him, but Huo Qing had already jumped away and ran up the other side of the hill.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Qing ran, Zhulong's attention was drawn away.Zhulong, who had just started to move, seemed to be hungover, shaking his head, turning a blind eye to Ji Yan and others, and turned his head to chase Huo Qing.

Such a huge body, even if it has not fully moved, it is amazing. The four claws of the candle dragon only swipe on the ground, and the ice that has been solidified for thousands of years and is not inferior to gold and iron will fly pieces of ice, Leaves deep marks.If this claw is on Huo Qing's body...

"Don't look. We have other things to do." Gu Rong suddenly said, looking at Zhuang Juan, "You should be able to find a way."

"Me?" Zhuang Juan asked back in astonishment, his gaze still following Huo Qing and not looking back.

"I have a hunch that you can find a way." Gu Rong raised his hand and waved in front of Zhuang Juan, "Don't look! He is buying us time, not making us daze!"

Zhuang Juan's eyes were blocked, and he suddenly realized: "I know. But, but what can I find? You have a hunch that I can find a way...then, only plants..." His ability is the plant system, if If he has a way, it may only have something to do with plants.

However, in this cold and dark valley, all the plants had already been frozen to death, what could he find?

Gu Rong gave the task to Zhuang Juan and ignored it, and turned to greet the rest of the people: "Let's restore the talisman array!"

It is said to be a small waterway, but it is not easy to find it when it is actually dry.Du Weiping, who was specially prepared for the soil ability, is now unknown, and the abilities of the remaining few people are useless at the moment, so they can only dig with bare hands.

"I'll go, this water—" Ji Yan stepped into the cold water, grinning his teeth, "I said, are you sure that Zhulong is weak now?" The water is not cold enough to describe it , as if stepping into a bush of needles, the cold air pierced through the skin, and could pierce the bone with a single swish. If he hadn't been able to endure it, he might have screamed out just now.

Bai Xin gritted her teeth and dug out a handful of dirt with both hands.Although the water here is still flowing, the temperature of the water is already below freezing point, and the soil accumulated in the water is as hard as ice. We might all be like these clods if we meet each other."

Zhang Sheng had already jumped into the knee-deep water, and the thin frost immediately began to extend up his pants, and he was so cold that he couldn't speak clearly; "Well, it's still weak, weak... Huo, Huo Qing, please help..."

Everyone couldn't help looking up, and saw Zhulong chasing after Huo Qing like a green leather train.Although it hasn't moved yet, with such a big body, it can jump more than ten meters with its four claws casually-pulling, and its momentum is astonishing.

This speed is probably only capable of resisting the enemy with wind abilities. Although Huo Qing has good physical fitness, it is impossible to run faster than Zhulong, but he is more flexible, turning left and right between the rocks, turning back from time to time, Zhulong couldn't catch him for a moment.

"It should be fine—" Ji Yan had only halfway said this, when Zhulong became irritable, and suddenly blew a cold air at Huo Qing.

This cold air is thicker than the white air that Candle Dragon sprayed from its nostrils just now, and it is almost like something tangible. After the cold air is sprayed out, the surrounding air can be seen with the naked eye. .

The second half of Ji Yan's sentence immediately choked in her throat—if only a little bit of such cold air touched her, wouldn't she immediately turn into an ice sculpture?Huo Qing was running in the narrow gap between two rocks at the moment, the gap was so narrow that only one person could fit in, and even Candle Dragon's claws couldn't get in, naturally there was no room for him to move and dodge.

With just a breath of cold air, the advantage of the terrain suddenly turned into a disadvantage. Ji Yan was screaming inwardly, when Huo Qing waved his backhand, a metal shield appeared out of thin air, firmly inserted between two rocks, It is blocking the impact of the cold air.

Hearing a crackling sound, the surface of the metal shield quickly turned white, and a thick layer of ice formed in a blink of an eye. However, the impact of the cold air was blocked after all, and Huo Qing took advantage of this time to lean sideways on one side of the rock and exert strength. With a kick, he jumped up and grabbed the rock on the other side with both hands, rolled over and rolled out of the crack, and landed on the other side of the rock.

At this time, Zhulong had already chased behind him, Huo Qing didn't run forward, but jumped backwards, and got under Zhulong's elbow.Zhulong's body was huge, so it was not easy to turn around. Before he could stop his forward momentum, Huo Qing had already slipped to his tail.Zhulong slapped his tail but tilted a little bit, and saw broken rocks and ice splashing, but Huo Qing rolled on the spot to avoid it, and ran in another direction.

The ruby ​​passed by him, and Zhulong could even feel the surging energy in the gem, pouring into his body at such a close distance, as if the rain had moistened the dry land, making it sleep until his stiff body A little more flexible.

Zhulong sneezed, and sprayed out a fine piece of ice slag from his nostrils.Born in the extreme north, the darkness and coldness here are like the eggshell that wrapped it at the beginning. It is stable but also bound. Only the surging energy in front of it makes it really happy. It always wants to get closer and closer, and finally It's easy to put it in your mouth, and that's reassuring.

Zhulong didn't quite understand his own mental journey, but his instinct made him focus on that energy, that is, this energy is not very good, it will run, and once it runs too far, the speed at which it absorbs energy will slow down .This made Candle Dragon a little unhappy, so it snorted again, and then chased after the energy ball rolling in front of it.

Humans can't understand Zhulong's mind, but Bai Xin can feel its changes: "Zhulong is recovering..." This means that Zhulong will be faster, stronger and more flexible, so Huo Qing will be more dangerous .

Only Gu Rong didn't raise his head, and tried his best to dig: "Huo Qing can hold on. What's going on with Zhuang Juan?"

Zhuang Juan is looking around.Apart from Gu Rong, he was the only one who didn't pay attention to Huo Qing.Now he looks like a long-legged spider. The six vines growing from his armpits and back have extended to more than 20 meters. He is gliding across the ground like a snake, searching for the possible existence in this frozen and water-sealed world. A little life.

Looking at the huge valley, Zhang Sheng felt a little hopeless: "Can I really find something?" Zhuang Juan had tried his best to expand the range of perception of the ability, but compared with the whole valley, it was like cleaning the toilet with a toothbrush.

Even if there is really something left by Nu Wa in this valley, how long will it take to find it?The point is, can Huo Qing hold on?In case Huo Qing misses - no, even if Huo Qing doesn't miss, after a long time, Zhulong absorbs enough energy to fully activate, will Zhuang Juan still look for it?

Fortunately, Zhuang Juan's cloud was not that bad. Before Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he suddenly felt something, and suddenly raised his finger and pointed to a place: "There are living plants there!"

Bai Xinci immediately ran over: "Where is it?"

The ground and rocks were covered with thick ice. Bai Xin took out a few seeds and threw them into the crevice pointed by Zhuang Juan. The seeds shrouded in flickering green light quickly took root and germinated, and the seemingly weak roots forcibly penetrated into the ice crevice. In those tiny cracks, after only a dull crackling sound, cracks as thick as fingers appeared in the thick ice layer.

"Okay!" Zhuang Juan's six vines immediately adjusted to the thickness of his little finger, and poked into the cracked ice.His face was swollen red, and the six vines curled up like steel cables, forcibly breaking off a large piece of ice—there was actually a cave underneath.

The cave was not very big, so Zhuang Juan and Bai Xin had to bend down to get in.Bai Xin held a glazed lamp full of bright-stem grass in her hand, as soon as the light golden light shone in, she blurted out: "Jade Red Grass!"

Zhuang Juan is a plant-type supernatural power, so he is familiar with all kinds of exotic plants, let alone such famous exotic plants as Jade Red Grass?As soon as Bai Xin's words came out, he was already memorizing the material reflexively in his heart: under the volume of "Corpse", Chixian Shenzhou is actually the ruins of Kunlun. Wu.

Yuhongcao looks a bit like ordinary Clivia, except that the leaves are narrower and thicker.The opposite leaves are still dark green even in this freezing cold, which makes the bunch of fruits hanging on the middle stalk more colorful.

Each of these fruits is about the size of a thumb belly, as smooth as jade, and dark red in color—perhaps this is where the name of Jade Red Grass comes from—at this time there are still frost flowers hanging on the fruits, but there is no trace of withering and rot, and they are still green. fresh.

"So, it's enough to give Zhulong a few fruits?" Zhuang Juan was ecstatic.

Bai Xin didn't answer, Zhuang Juan turned to look at her, and found that she was staring straight ahead, not at the jade red grass, but at the ground where the jade red grass grew.

It was said that it was the ground, but in fact it had already been covered with frost. Bai Xin stepped forward step by step, bent down to brush off the frost, and Zhuang Juan realized that what he thought was uneven dirt was actually a body. A corpse covered in frost.

The corpse lay quietly on the ground, half of the body was buried in the soil, as if it was about to merge with the earth.And she clasped her hands in front of her chest, and the Jade Red Grass was rooted in her body, growing out from between her hands.

"Nuwa?" Zhuang Juan felt his throat was hoarse.

In fact, he didn't need to ask this question at all, the long snake tail on the lower half of the corpse was preserved very well in the cold, even the scales on the snake tail were clearly visible.And besides Nuwa, who can bury his bones in Zhongshan?

Use countless five-color stones to arrange the rune array to maintain the enchantment, and then use your own body to cultivate the jade red grass that can make the candle dragon sleep.

This is Nuwa's arrangement.
