Shuofeng and Hua Qiangu reappeared at Feixia Peak in Tianshan Mountain.
Feixia Peak, Immortal Cloud Track, and Tianshan disciples' sword control skills have always been second to none in the fairy world.
Hua Qiangu could only vaguely appear in Feixia Peak Ice and Snow City, which might be relatively close to the head Hong Yuan's mansion. But the exact location of Shanghongyuan is still uncertain. Looking up, you can see the blue, red, purple and yellow sword glows passing by in the sky, and the surrounding ice and snow city is majestic and majestic, like a huge heavenly palace. Hua Qiangu flinched, recalling the scene of desperately trekking through the ice and snow with her master behind her back, she suddenly felt a little cold.
After using the soul-stirring technique, he repeatedly asked several people where Shang Hongyuan was, but they all said they didn't know. They can only search carefully from place to place.
When she found the study room, Hua Qiangu was suddenly strangled by a person and dragged to a corner. She was startled and was about to fight back, but when she looked up, it was the tall woman in green from the Immortal Pavilion who saved her last time.
"Sister? Why are you here?"
"Hush..." The woman looked around and said softly, "Pavilion master is worried, let me come here to pick you up. Is your Donghuang Bell going well?"
"Well, basically I didn't encounter any obstacles."
"That's good. Although Shang Hongyuan is the head of the Tianshan faction, he basically doesn't ask about the affairs of the faction. He just went out for a wandering two days ago. The pavilion master is afraid that you will be in vain, so let me sneak in first." In the city, inquire about the specific whereabouts of the artifact. The Tianshan faction is now headed by the first and fourth disciples of Shang Hongyuan respectively, divided into two factions, the north and the south. The sphere of influence of the faction. No one is allowed to enter the tower except the head, and the time is limited, so I only got the blueprint of the first floor. After you read it, remember it, and then directly use the Kunlun mirror to enter the tower."
Hua Qiangu looked at her gratefully, she originally planned to use her status as Shang Piao's great-great-granddaughter to get close to Shang Hongyuan, but it seems that there is no need, this time she has to force her way.
Hua Qiangu took the blueprint and read it carefully before preparing to leave.
"I'll go with you," the woman said.
"But… "
"The tower has 9 floors in total, and each floor is full of traps. You two and Tang Bao alone may not be able to handle it. If something goes wrong with you, I can't explain it to the pavilion master."
Hua Qiangu was deeply moved: "Sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Green Sheath."
Hua Qiangu nodded, and with a thought, the three of them disappeared instantly.
Come back to God again, already in the tower.
Before he could stand still, millions of small holes suddenly opened densely on the surrounding circular ice wall, and countless tiny silver needles that had become highly poisonous shot from all directions at 360 degrees.
Hua Qiangu quickly summoned up his true energy, and covered them with a light wall. Unexpectedly, after half a stick of incense passed, the hidden weapon showed no signs of diminishing or fading. No matter how they attack the wall, it is useless.
Hua Qiangu looked at the silver needles that fell to the ground and quickly melted, and found that they were not silver needles at all but ice needles condensed by poisonous water. As long as there is someone's breath, it will be shot out repeatedly, endlessly. Even if it can't hurt people, it will keep people trapped here until they are exhausted.
"Let's separate, move slowly, and go directly to the second floor."
Shuo Feng and Lu Sheath got out of her mask and protected themselves. But the silver needles are so many and powerful that it is very difficult to fly.
"Where is the staircase?" Shuofeng looked around, but he saw ice needles shot rapidly in the whiteness, and he couldn't see anything else clearly.
"There are no stairs. The entrance is on the top right behind you, but it is blocked by ice and snow." Hua Qiangu recalled what was drawn on the blueprint.
Shuo Feng turned around, took a closer look, and finally saw the place that was slightly different from other places. With a strike with both hands, the palm wind smashed all the surrounding ice needles in an instant. Quickly broke through the ice and snow, passed through the entrance, and went up to the second floor.
They had already prepared for the next wave of attacks, but nothing happened. The night pearl on the ice wall was emitting a strange green light, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
The three of them didn't stop much, and flew directly to the third floor, but there was still nothing.
"What's going on?" Hua Qiangu looked at Lu Shea, who shook her head puzzled.
Shuo Feng inspected the walls, the ground, and the top that were covered with layers of ice.
"All the organs have been unlocked, and someone came in before us."
Both Hua Qiangu and Lu Sheath turned pale with shock, and hurried to the ninth floor.
"There are formations all over the Nine Heavens Pagoda. If you come in from the outside, it is impossible not to be noticed by the people of Tianshan. Who will come in here before us, and cleanly untie the traps of so many multi-layered towers in a row? "Green sheath frowned.
"But why didn't the mechanism on the first floor be solved?" Tang Bao couldn't help asking.
The green sheath pondered: "I don't understand the first floor, probably because I want to create the illusion that no one has entered this tower. Shang Hongyuan's character is rough and casual. Even if I come to this tower occasionally, everything is still the same when I get to the first floor." , I must think that the artifact is still safe, and I am too lazy to unlock the mechanism and go up to check it myself."
"You mean that the artifact might have been stolen?" Hua Qiangu asked in shock.
Green Sheath nodded slightly. The three hurried to the top floor, and they found several frozen corpses.
Shuo Feng looked around: "The artifact has not been stolen, it is still here."
"Really?" Hua Qiangu looked around in surprise, but couldn't find any place to store artifacts. Could it be that there is some secret door? She groped along the wall and the floor.
Green Sheath examined the bodies.
"They're all monsters. The cause of death is very strange. I can't see it for the time being, but there is one, which seems to be Wilderness Star..."
Hua Qiangu thought it sounded familiar: "Wilder Star? Who is it?"
"Little brother of Wilderness Sky." Lu Sheath took out a strange-shaped knife from her bosom, neatly cut off the tongues of several dead corpses, and smashed them into a bamboo tube that she carried with her.
Hua Qiangu turned around and didn't dare to look, remembering that Kuangyetian was the man who was very proficient in mechanical skills who fought against Dongfang Yuqing on Taibai Mountain, and she was poisoned by him.
"How did his brother die here?"
The green sheath waited for the frozen tongue to soften slowly, and shook it a few times in the bamboo tube, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was asking those tongues, and then put the bamboo tube next to his ear to listen carefully.
It took a long time before he frowned and said: "They have been dead for more than a year, it seems that Kuangyetian and Kuangyexing obeyed Chunqiu Bubai's order before the Taibai battle and took the Kunlun mirror to this tower in an attempt to steal the seal of Kongtong. Yes. The two brothers are proficient in mechanism skills, but although they entered the tower and successfully untied the mechanism traps all the way up to the ninth floor, they did not get the Kongtong Seal for some reason. Abandoning his brother and others, he escaped from the Nine Heavens Tower with the Kunlun Mirror alone."
"But what kind of danger is he talking about? Wilderness Sky is considered very powerful. There is nothing they can't beat, and since then, I dare not make any plans to attack Kongtong Yin. I would rather attack Taibai Mountain first and grab other artifacts." ?”
Green Sheath frowned tightly: "He said, there is a monster in the tower..."
Hua Qiangu shivered, and Tang Bao got into her ear in fright.
"Aren't they monsters themselves, what monsters are they afraid of?"
Shuo Feng looked around and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
"Why is the seal of Kongtong seal untied?" He murmured strangely.
"What did you say? You unlocked it?" Hua Qiangu couldn't believe it, swallowed his saliva, "Could it be, could it be that the Kongtong seal was unlocked to suppress the monster in the tower? Put it in your Ruins Cauldron and take it with you?"
Green Sheath nodded: "This explanation makes sense. The question now is where is the monster? Where is the Kongtong Seal?"
Shuo Feng frowned and walked slowly towards the south wall, then slowly stretched out his hand, actually directly piercing through the wall.
"it's here… "
Hua Qiangu looked at Shuofeng in surprise, and suddenly felt that he and his voice were unfamiliar.
The two followed him through the ice wall, and their eyes fell into darkness. This kind of darkness is a kind of void, no matter how concentrated they are, they can't see anything, because it seems that there is nothing at all, not even the ground, but they naturally walk on a plane.
Shuo Feng flipped his hands over and released two bright flames. The three of them looked along the flames, but they still couldn't see anything, only darkness. Although the flames were bright, the light was quickly swallowed by the darkness, unable to reach the sky, unable to descend to the ground, and unable to see all directions. They seem to be in a hole that is infinitely deep and infinitely wide.
And there is a faint hot wind blowing up from below, and this big hole seems to be a huge mouth, breathing gently. Hua Qiangu looked down nervously, feeling a strong sense of oppression.
Shuo Feng suddenly drew out his sword, slashed himself, and scattered the blood with strength, forming a blood mist that fell heavily downward, as if it had a huge mass, and kept falling until it was too deep to be seen.
Immediately below them, one after another crossed iron chains appeared, densely packed all the way down, sealing the hole of unknown size layer by layer. Each iron chain has the thickness of two or three people hugging each other. It is rusty and old, and it is full of red threads and charms.
Hua Qiangu was so shocked that her whole body got goosebumps, one could imagine what kind of terrifying monster was being suppressed here.
"Did you see the seal of Kongtong? There—" Shuo Feng pointed to the faint yellow light among the countless interlaced iron chains below.
"The wilderness star and the others may have taken the Kongtong seal. The moment the seal's power weakened, they were attacked by the monster underground. Everyone's inner alchemy and mana were all sucked out. The wilderness sky may have taken advantage of it in a panic. When others were attacked, they escaped by relying on the Kunlun mirror."
"Mother Bone, I'm so scared, let's go back!" Tang Bao cried, hugging Hua Qiangu and trembling.
Hua Qiangu looked at the green sheath with some hesitation: "If we take away the seal of Kongtong, wouldn't this monster be born to harm the world? A demon god has not yet appeared and people are panicking. If another monster comes out..."
"It doesn't matter, just seal it with another thing."
"Another thing?"
"Well, your blood." Green Sheath nodded firmly.
"My blood?" Why is it her blood again, her blood has almost become a universal elixir, killing enemies, detoxifying, healing, sealing, it is really omnipotent!
"Why? I am no different except that I have a strange horoscope than others. Why can blood do so many things?"
"You... the pavilion master didn't tell you?"
When Hua Qiangu heard this, she became anxious, how many things Dongfang Yuqing kept from her!
"Tell me what? He didn't say anything!"
"Do you think everyone's blood can hatch a spirit worm like Tangbao from a drop of water?"
"What the hell is going on?"
The green sheath shook her head: "Since the pavilion master didn't tell you that he must have his reasons, I can't say anything to you without authorization. Anyway, don't worry, you can definitely seal this monster with your blood."
"Okay...then what should I do?" Hua Qiangu looked nervously at the big dark hole below as if it was about to swallow them all up, and didn't bother to explore why blood had so many uses.
Green Sheath took out a stone-like object from her bosom and handed it to her, but it was hollow.
"This time it will cost you more blood."
Hua Qiangu nodded, cut open the blood vessel to fill the container, and the green sheath wrote and drew something on it. Immediately, the stone emitted a strange and frightening red light.
"I'm going down now to get the Kongtong seal and replace it with a new one."
"Will there be any danger?"
"Will not."
"No, let's go down together and take care of each other." Hua Qiangu felt chills at the thought of Kuangyexing's corpse.
Lu Sheath reluctantly nodded, with a gloomy look on her brow. Several people carefully bypassed the iron chain and flew around Kongtong Yin. The surrounding air froze, and the heat from below was getting heavier and heavier, as if someone was panting rapidly.
Hua Qiangu watched nervously as the green sheath replaced the seal, big drops of sweat dripped down, and Shuo Feng held her hand.
Lu Sheath took a deep breath, quickly removed the Kongtong seal and put Hua Qiangu's blood on it.
Hua Qiangu took the Kongtong seal she quickly handed over and put it into the ruins cauldron. She felt the surroundings shake violently, the iron chains rattled, and there was a strange and terrifying roar from below, which was deafening and deafening. Holding the green sheath, he was ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, Lu Sheath shook off her hand, and pushed them upwards with all her strength: "The seal is not completed, there is no hurry, you guys go!"
As he spoke, he continued to recite the mantra silently, his hands formed a seal, and a green light shone all over his body. At this time, countless silver-white transparent tentacles-like things stretched out from below rapidly.
Horrified, Hua Qiangu wanted to go back to pull her back, but was stopped by Shuofeng. In just an instant, the tentacle had passed through the body of the green sheath, Hua Qiangu could see the rapid loss of her body's internal energy, but she was still working hard to seal it. Finally, at the moment when the inner alchemy was lost, the seal was completed, and then it fell down with the tentacles that were slowly retracted downward.
"Green sheath!" Hua Qiangu shouted in horror, flying straight down to hug her tall body.
"You lied to me! You lied to me! You are not in danger! You have long planned to sacrifice yourself to help me get the seal, right?" She wanted to cry but couldn't.
Lvshea struggled to open her eyes as she was dying, and smiled at her.
"Why do you do this?" It's not worth it, it's not worth doing this for her, they only met a few times, and they don't know each other very well, why bother to sacrifice their lives for her
"Don't be sad, I'm just completing my mission."
"Tell me, what method can save you! My blood! Is my blood okay? It has all kinds of uses!" Hua Qiangu stretched out his hand in a panic to feed her the blood.
Lu Sheath coughed twice, and her complexion became paler and paler: "It's useless..."
Hua Qiangu desperately poured zhenqi into her body again: "You hold on, you must hold on! I will be able to save you when I get the Nuwa Stone!!"
Lu Shea shook her head: "There's no rush... I'm sorry every time I treat you either very fiercely or coldly, because of your fate... I'm always afraid that the pavilion master will be in danger because of you. In fact, the first time I saw you I like you very much. At that time, ahem... At that time, you were so small, carrying a basket of radishes... "
"Don't say any more, don't say any more..." Hua Qiangu closed his eyes with trembling lips, and when he opened them again, several people had already arrived in the Immortal Pavilion.
"Dongfang! Dongfang! Come out!!" Hua Qiangu walked around like a headless fly hugging her body.
"Don't be sad, and don't feel guilty or sorry for me. As I said, everything is just a transaction. There is nothing in this world without paying a price. The same is true for getting the Kongtong Seal. You owe the Immortal Pavilion too much." Much, it is not so easy to pay off, I just ask you to treat our pavilion master well. His life has been hard enough, don't make him sad... "
Green Sheath's voice became lower and lower, and finally closed her eyes. Hua Qiangu stopped and stood in the yard in a daze, motionless.
Dongfang Yuqing came galloping from outside, and what she saw in front of her was her corpse in a green sheath, with a dull expression on her face.
Dongfang Yuqing slowed down, walked up to her, looked at the green sheath, a trace of ungraspable sadness flickered in his eyes, then his face was still calm, he didn't speak, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Hua Qiangu finally raised her head and glanced at him. He told her before that this road was difficult, and she finally knew how difficult it was.
"Dongfang..." she called out in a low voice, and Dongfang Yuqing's heart ached because of the bewildered appearance.
Excessive blood loss coupled with grief and indignation, Hua Qiangu fell forward and passed out.
