Bingyi Cave is located between two snow-capped mountains in Youzhou, a land of ice and snow, inaccessible to people. Outside the entrance of Bingyi Cave is a wide flat land, but it is completely covered by ice.
Because the Floating Light Silk was not in their hands and they didn't know if they could get it, they decided to look for Lvying Water first.
Under the leadership of Xiaohuan Qingyun, several people came to Bingyi Cave.
The entrance to the cave, which is about one person high, is covered in white snow, and the small entrance is almost invisible to a few people flying in the air on their mounts. Because most of the wild monsters in this area were concentrated on the flat ground outside the cave entrance, Shen Jingbin and Xiaohuan Qingyun sat on their mounts, while Heqing and Jingjing Zhiyuan went down first to clean up the monsters floating near the cave entrance.
The monsters in this snowy mountain are all quite cute. They are either fluffy snowy mountain bears that look like polar bear cubs, or they are beautiful snow monsters that look like elves.
After almost cleaning up the mobs near the entrance of the cave, Shen Jingbin and Xiaohuan Qingyun finally landed.
As soon as they touched the ground, Xiaohuan Qingyun trotted close to Heqing and Ningjing Zhiyuan, "Brother Heqing, brother Ningjing, can you help me catch a snow mountain bear? They are so cute and I like them so much."
The last time she came here, she fell in love with the honest and cute snow mountain bear here, but the male player who accompanied her here was too good. Not to mention helping her catch the bear, he even took her into the cave to hide. He just slipped in, instead of cleaning out the mobs like now, and then swaggering in.
Jing Jing Zhiyuan glanced at her, said nothing, put away his dagger and walked directly towards Shen Jingbin. Xiaohuan Qingyun's face suddenly became a little confused. Seeing this, He Qing smoothed things over and said: "Snow Mountain Bear's level is too high and is not suitable for you. , I will take you to catch Dudu Bear later."
Youzhou is a high-level map, and the monsters here are naturally not much weaker. Although the Snow Mountain Bear is not enough for Shang Heqing and Jing Jing Zhiyuan, for Xiaohuan Qingyun, it can kill her with one paw. A big monster with half the blood in it. The Dudu Bear in Heqing's mouth is another bear-like wild monster unique to Xingxiong Ridge in the Central Plains. Its shape is more like a small raccoon, but it is fatter, has low attack power, and is easy to catch. Many male players like it. Catch it to please the girl.
Hearing what He Qing said, Xiaohuan Qingyun looked better now.
After Jing Jing Zhiyuan approached Shen Jing Bin, he coughed and lowered his voice: "Do you like this bear? Do you want to come out and help you catch one?"
Shen Jingbin turned her head slightly to look at the snow mountain bear that was jumping around a little further away, and shook her head, "Trouble, it's enough for me to have a mascot."
This bear looked so stupid, she felt disgusted.
Snow Mountain Bear: Oh Minato! I'm so cute and you actually call me stupid! blindness!
"Let's go into the cave." He Qing pushed Xiaohuan Qingyun's back soothingly with one hand and led her over. "I'll open the way in front, just in case. Xiaohuan will follow me to guide the way, little one." Jing, you go in the middle, President Ning comes last, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
Shen Jingbin and Jing Jing Zhiyuan shook their heads at the same time, "No problem."
Xiaohuan Qingyun also responded obediently: "Everyone listens to brother Heqing."
Then the four of them walked into Bingyi Cave one by one in the order He Qing told them.
About ten minutes after they entered the cave, another group of people appeared at the entrance of Bingyi Cave. The wild monsters at the entrance of the cave are refreshed every 3 minutes. When this team arrived, all the snow mountain bears that had been cleaned up by Tranquility Zhiyuan had been refreshed, so they also repeated their previous behavior and slowly cleaned up the monsters at the entrance of the cave.
After entering the cave, there was a very narrow path within a few steps, and many ice fronts appeared in disorder on the cave wall. After tripping twice, Xiaohuan Qingyun screamed.
"Brother Heqing, I can't walk anymore, it hurts so much."
He Qing, who was walking at the front, turned around and said, "Just hold on, it's too narrow here and I can't carry you on my back."
Xiaohuan Qingyun rubbed her knees with a pitiful look, "Brother Heqing, can you pull me away?" As she said this, she handed her hand to Heqing.
Girl, haven’t you been here by yourself before? ! May I ask how you came in by yourself last time? ! Behind her, Shen Jingping's head was covered with black lines.
He Qing looked at the little hand Xiao Huan Qingyun handed to him, and then looked at the two people behind her who were also expressionless. He twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, turned around, and grabbed her fingertips, "Let's go."
Xiaohuan Qingyun smiled sweetly and forced her hand into Heqing's palm, "Okay."
Shen Jingping couldn't help but turn around and exchanged glances with Jing Jing Zhiyuan.
Did you see it? Girls nowadays are so scary!
Okay, okay, you're not scary at all!
That's because I'm reserved!
Indeed, you have always been very reserved... When will you stop being reserved and show me
Well, I think I would be scary if I wasn't reserved.
Jing Jing Zhiyuan looked at her deeply.
…Okay, you’d better be more reserved.
Shen Jingping was helpless.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, the four people's field of vision suddenly became wider. It turned out that they had reached the deepest cave of Bingyi Cave. There was a small pool about ten steps away from them. The water in the pool was very dark and motionless, like a piece of green jade. Sitting by the pool was a figure with his back to them. He was wearing a tattered raincoat and a bamboo hat. He was thin and stooped.
"That's him, he was the one I saw last time." Xiaohuan Qingyun pointed at the back and shouted.
He Qing let go of her hand, walked a few steps to the figure, bent down, and got a clear look at his whole face.
This is an old man who is nearly seventy years old. His weather-beaten face is full of wrinkles accumulated by the years. The two arched eyebrows on his eyes are completely white, and his mouth and chin are covered by a gray beard. He sat cross-legged on the ice with nothing underneath him, his hands folded in his sleeves on his chest, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.
"Old sir?" He Qing tentatively reached out and patted his shoulder gently.
Shen Jingju and Jingjing Zhiyuan also gathered around.
"Huh?" The old man was tapped on the shoulder, and then he slowly opened his eyes and raised his head to look at them, "Who is calling the old man?"
"Old sir, what is the name of the little Tan in front of you?"
"What do you mean?" The old man stretched out his hand in his sleeve and pointed at Xiao Tan in front of him.
Heqing nodded.
"This is called Lve Ying Pond. There is no shadow when people pass by. It's called Lve Ying."
He Qing asked again: "Then the water inside is Lianying Water?"
The old man shook his head, "No, no, this pool of water can be called Lianying Water but it is not Lianying Water. It's very, very wonderful."
After talking in a daze, Xiaohuan Qingyun interrupted: "He said the same thing last time I came here. I didn't understand it at the time, and there was nothing strange here, so I left."
He Qing frowned and asked, "How do you explain the old gentleman's words?"
The old man raised his head and glanced at the few people quietly, "You two children are all the best among people, why are you so stupid?"
He Qing choked and touched his nose silently. Shen Jingbin, who had been looking at the old man from the side, suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden in his sleeves.
"Old sir, what's up your sleeve?"
The old man paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her, "Little girl, you have good eyesight."
As he spoke, he took out the contents of his sleeves.
It is an earthy yellow gourd.
The old man was wearing a navy blue robe, and the khaki gourds hidden in his wide sleeves were easy to spot, but He Qing and the others never thought to pay attention to them.
"This is called the earth-controlling gourd. When water sees a shadow, it will fly away. There is no shadow of water. However, earth controls water. Only this earth-controlling gourd can hold it. If you can help me with something, I will use this earth-controlling gourd to hold it. How about a gourd for you?" The old man shook the khaki gourd and said with half-squinted eyes.
He Qing, Shen Jingbin and Jing Jing Zhiyuan looked at each other. As for Xiaohuan Qingyun, well, she is not important.
Seeing that she was ignored, Xiaohuan Qingyun felt unconvinced and walked directly to the old man and said: "Old man, what do you want us to do for you?"
Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes skipped directly from her. He looked at Shen Jingbin and said, "I don't talk to stupid people. That girl over there, come here."
Xiaohuan Qingyun's nose was almost crooked with anger. Shen Jingping made an innocent face to her, then walked to the old man, "Old sir, please speak."
The old man stroked his beard, "Do you know what the two snow-capped mountains next to Bingyi Cave are called?"
"I know, Mo Chanshan and Liang Zangfeng."
"Well, since you know, I won't hide it anymore. Did you know that there is a kind of flower called ice crystal on Mochan Mountain, and there is a kind of grass called Fujiang on Liangzang Peak. The two combined into one can attract this glimpse. The Longkou catfish in the pond is clean in nature and lives in the spring of Lianyingtan. If you want the real Lianying water, you have to go to this spring. Now if you can pick some ice crystals and fujiang for me, I will How about using the earth-controlling gourd to go to the spring and collect some Lianying water for you?"
"Okay." Shen Jingping responded immediately.
As soon as the words fell, a "ding" sound was heard.
"Task: 'Glimpse of the Dragon'—Submit Ice Crystal (01/) Submit Fujiang (0/1). Do you accept the task? Yes/No."
Choosing to accept, the four of them immediately turned around and prepared to leave the cave to go to Mochan Mountain and Liang Zangfeng to look for the ice crystals and Fu Jiang that the old man mentioned. However, as soon as they turned around, a group of people suddenly appeared on the way they came.
The leader turned out to be the tearful fish I hadn't seen for a long time.
"A Ning?" The weeping fish vaguely heard human voices before she came in. To be on the safe side, she asked the people who followed her to show their weapons. When she found out it was Jing Jing Zhiyuan, her eyes lit up and she immediately put down her weapons. Weapon shouted in surprise.
Tsk.
Shen Jingbin looked directly at Jing Jing Zhiyuan.
When he entered the cave, he was the one behind him. According to the order of return, Ning Jing Zhiyuan was ranked first, so he had no time to hide even if he wanted to.
The exposed sword eyebrows knitted together the moment they saw the weeping fish. Ning Jing Zhiyuan looked at the weeping fish quietly without answering her.
The weeping fish signaled everyone in the team to put away their weapons, then approached him with a springy smile on his face and said: "Aning, why are you here? Are you on a mission? Oh, why didn't you see your wife... Are you divorced? I've told you, don't marry someone just to make me angry, and find someone so ugly that you can't even stand it now... "
The voice of the weeping fish was a bit sharp, and there was an echo from the closed cave. All her words pierced Shen Jingbin's ears, making her temples beat uncontrollably. Xiaohuan, Qingyun and Heqing both turned their heads and looked at her with strange expressions.
