Mu Shishuang fell into a vicious circle of constant doubt. She was panicking and terrified. She didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if she really failed. She was afraid to see such a future. She was afraid that her sister would know about it, and that her sister's children would know about it. She was afraid and regretted her past more and more...
At this time, heavy snow was falling from the sky. The snow accumulated on Mu Shishuang's body bit by bit, in this vast snow-capped mountain where no birds flew and no people were seen.
Mu Shishuang was the only one who curled up on the mountain top, as if she was abandoned by the world, and just let the snow drown her, as if to bury her hope...
……
Chapter 79 Lin Hongjia's Fury
On the mountain top, heavy snow fell. A person was hugging his knees, his body was buried in the snow, and it was impossible to see whether he was alive or dead. I didn’t know how long it had been, maybe a day, two days, a week, or a month…
After an unknown amount of time, the "snowman" actually moved, but its body became unstable and it fell headfirst into the freezing cold water in front of it.
In the pool of water, Mu Shishuang felt like he had fallen into a cold pond. He didn't even use his energy and blood to resist, just letting the coldness corrode his body. Perhaps this would make him wake up. He opened his eyes dazedly, and there seemed to be all kinds of lights and shadows in front of him...even so dazzling that it was a bit piercing.
Mu Shishuang couldn't help but rub her eyes, and opened them again. When the scene in front of her became clear, she saw that a dazzling blue light was shining at the bottom of the pool of water. It was very soft and docile. When she got closer, it seemed to be able to dispel some of the coldness of the water.
She instinctively walked towards the light, and when she was completely immersed in the light, she couldn't help but close her eyes. A voice rang in her ears, and the space seemed to be changing.
When Mu Shishuang opened her eyes again, she found herself in a cave, soaking in a small pool in the cave. Water was dripping from the surface of the cave, and the most eye-catching thing was the small pool of water in the center of the cave.
There was a lotus leaf growing there, the most dazzling one was the one that stood out from the other lotuses, its nine petals were light blue, its rhizomes and leaves were also very peculiar, they were actually light blue and transparent, one could vaguely see it absorbing the energy of the lake water, the faint fragrance it exuded could make one's soul feel happy and comfortable just by smelling it.
When Mu Shishuang looked at the Nine Heavens Jade Lotus, which was very similar to the one recorded in ancient books, her lifeless eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with light. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is the Nine Heavens Jade Lotus at the bottom of this pond..."
Although I really want to know this question, compared with the Nine Heavens Green Lotus, it is not that important anymore.
The most important news was that the Nine Heavens Green Lotus that could save Lin Ran was still there. However, how she should pick the Nine Heavens Green Lotus in front of her was another problem. Ancient books did not say at all how to pick and consume it. If she accidentally took the wrong steps, she would destroy such a treasure.
"Is there no other information about this cave?"
Mu Shishuang began to search in the cave, and sure enough, on a wall, she found a piece of ancient text written in a very vigorous handwriting, but many of them were blurred and difficult to recognize, so she could only decipher part of it.
"This is the Nine Heavens of Twin Mountain... The conditions are harsh... If you want to pick it... you need Twin Magnolia..."
Only a few words could be deciphered, and most of them were too blurry to be seen, even though she could control the power of time.
But to be honest, she rarely uses this forbidden bloodline talent, and each time she uses it, she pays a huge price. Even predicting the future would consume most of her strength, not to mention the powerful power of time.
"Perhaps if I want to pick the Nine Heavens Blue Lotus here and unlock the secrets here, I have to go to another mountain to find the answer..."
This news was good news for Mu Shishuang. At least there was hope. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
After exiting this space, Mu Shishuang returned to the deep and cold underwater world and swam upwards. When he returned to the top of the mountain outside, Mu Shishuang breathed a sigh of relief, even though his body was soaked and the cold wind made him feel bitingly cold.
But compared to before, at least now hope has rekindled in her heart, dispelling the frightening coldness of despair.
"The other mountain... should be that one, right?"
Mu Shishuang used the power of her qi and blood to evaporate the water droplets on her body, and her eyes looked at another snow-capped mountain that was exactly the same as the one under her feet.
"Should I just fight? I'm so tired. Why did I do such a thankless task in the first place? I got nothing. I lost both my wife and my army..."
Mu Shishuang shook her head. She had been out for a long time and had followed Lin Ran for almost a year. At first, she wanted to kill Lin Ran secretly, but she also wanted to see what he was going to do. She followed him for several months. When she really wanted to do it, she changed to torturing him. Then she got angry after being scolded and almost killed him.
The daily question is, what is going on in her mind?
I went down the mountain along the same path I came from, thinking about all sorts of things, and headed to another snowy mountain.
.......
In the Central Region, on one of the sky islands thousands of miles above the sky, Lin Hongjia stood on the highest point of one of the sky islands, gazing into the distance, with the dragon and phoenix concentric jade in her hand. However, the soul mark on the jade pendant had become extremely dim, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.
Seeing the jade pendant like this, Lin Hongjia felt as if his heart was being weighed down by a thousand-pound stone. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, and his hand holding the jade pendant became tighter and tighter.
"Miss, I'm here!"
A light gate appeared behind Lin Hongjia, and Mr. Wang, wearing a long robe embroidered with golden patterns, walked out from it. He came in front of Lin Hongjia and spoke respectfully.
Lin Hongjia turned around, waved his hand casually, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Wang, have you found out what I asked you to do?"
Old Wang took a quick look at the young lady today. He felt that the young lady had been practicing more diligently recently, even to the point of being possessed. But today, the young lady's face was cold, as if she was suppressing her anger. He couldn't help but wonder, "Who offended the young lady?"
However, Mr. Wang still answered the young lady's question in a timely manner: "Miss, you asked me to check, and I have found out that Patriarch Lin Ran is indeed missing.
It might be related to the people of the Spirit Clan. I investigated through the clan’s secret method, and found out that Clan Leader Lin Ran had contact with the people of the Spirit Clan in the Ji Dynasty not long before he was taken to Jiezhou.
After the investigation, we found out that we were discovered by the other party, and they took countermeasures to block the secrets of the sky. Judging from their methods, they are at least in the immortal realm. This is all we know at present."
"What about Brother Lin Chong? Is he okay?" When Lin Hongjia heard the name Jiezhou, he suddenly thought of Lin Chong's safety and asked anxiously.
Elder Wang shook his head and said, "Master Lin Chong is doing well now. He is practicing in Tianli Academy and is not in danger."
"Then, Mr. Wang, have you found out who that person from the spirit tribe is?" Lin Hongjia asked after pondering for a while.
Elder Wang held his white beard, thinking of this, he said with some surprise: "Speaking of this, I also have some doubts. According to some clues left by the other party, and he is in the immortal realm, the spirit race has few people now, and the immortal realm may be the current spirit race leader Mu Shishuang.
What I want to know is why a spirit tribe leader would be related to leader Lin Ran, this is too..."
Although Old Wang knew that the leader of the Spirit Clan was just a puppet who was pushed to the position, he was still an Immortal Clan. How could he be related to Clan Leader Lin Ran? This was too unbelievable.
When Lin Hongjia heard what Elder Wang said, he was shocked and asked quickly, "Is there any relationship between this Mu Shishuang and the former Saint of the Spiritual Tribe, Mu Qiqin, whom I asked you to find before?"
"relation?"
Old Wang was stunned, frowning as he recalled those old stories. After a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and said in surprise, "That old man Mu Qiuen had two daughters. The younger daughter was born later. The older daughter seems to be Mu Qiqin. She and the current clan leader Mu Shishuang should be sisters."
Lin Hongjia now figured out a lot of things. Although she didn't know what happened specifically, one thing was certain, that is, that damn bitch Mu Shishuang must have done it for her sister, and made Lin Ran like this. But she would not impulsively call on Old Wang to catch Mu Shishuang and avenge Lin Ran.
First of all, that damn stupid woman didn't know where she took Lin Ran. Second, her voice and status in the tribe had just been established. Once she had enough voice and status, she would be able to command more elders. In addition, she was still too weak, and the tribe was not yet able to help her deal with the spirits.
So if she wanted to kill that stupid woman, she would still need some time, but the longer she waited, the angrier she got...
"Old Wang!"
Lin Hongjia's cold shout startled Wang Lao, who quickly said respectfully, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Keep an eye on that stinky...woman named Mu Shishuang. Once you find her, Old Wang, follow me and teach that ungrateful fellow a lesson."
"what?"
Elder Wang was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and quickly persuaded: "Miss, the other party is the current leader of the Spirit Tribe. Even if he is just a puppet, if we take action, the news will spread to the Spirit Tribe, and then they will come to settle accounts with us. Miss, you will be criticized in the tribe..."
"Can't you hide your identity? Even if they know we are from the Celestial Clan, so what? Just beat us up. One punch will stop a hundred.
If the spirit race has the guts, they can come up and argue. We will bite them back and say that they beat our people from the Celestial Race. We will ask them to spit out the resources. If they don’t, I will beat your spirit race people every day…”
Lin Hongjia was full of vigor when he said this, but his words sounded wrong, like a gangster shouting that he wanted to fight.
This made Mr. Wang's brain freeze. Was this still the lady he knew? Why did she speak so rudely and ruffian-like? Wasn't the lady always elegant, quiet, well-educated, and as peaceful as a lotus?
But what the young lady said does make some sense. With the current strength of their Celestial Clan, the Spirit Clan would definitely not dare to confront them.
Because of Mu Qiu'en's seclusion, the spirit tribe's internal power struggles have become a mess, and their fighting effectiveness is much lower than before.
"Miss, I will do as you ask!" Old Wang understood the young lady's anger. The tribe leader Lin Ran, who had raised him for many years, was captured by the spirit tribe. It was understandable that the young lady was angry, but he still didn't quite understand why the spirit tribe had anything to do with Lin Ran?
But the lady didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After saying this, Mr. Wang retreated.
At the highest point of the sky island, Lin Hongjia was the only one left. She looked down at the dragon and phoenix jade on her palm. Whenever she saw the dim soul light, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and she could hardly breathe. She tightly grasped the jade pendant in her palm and placed it on her chest. Her eyes flashed with golden red light. She looked up at the horizon with anger and said angrily:
"Mu Shishuang, right? Even if you are Mu Qiqin's sister, the leader of the Spirit Tribe, so what? You made him become like this. When I find you, I will repay you double!"
……
Chapter 80 I have passed this test. I said
On the snow-capped mountains in the far north, sharp silver space blades formed a very dense formation and cut the huge monster in front of them, which was as big as a dragon, into five pieces.
The dark red blood flowed out like a stream, dyeing the white ice and snow red. The dark red blood seemed to be extremely corrosive, and white smoke came out when it touched the stone slabs.
Seeing this scene, Mu Shishuang's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, "This Black Prison Poison Dragon, which is only recorded in ancient books, has really poisonous blood. It can corrode the bluestone floor like this."
When fighting with the poisonous dragon, Mu Shishuang was nearly "bathed" by the dragon's venom. After some hairs touched it, the venom could actually extend upwards. She was so scared that she had to cut her hair to ensure her safety.
Her originally beautiful long hair now only reaches her shoulders.
Mu Shishuang looked at the endless bluestone steps. It was still a long distance to the top of the snow-capped mountain. Fearing that he would encounter strong enemies later, Mu Shishuang could only rest here to replenish his energy and blood.
Taking advantage of this recovery time, Mu Shishuang sat on the stone steps with her knees hugged, staring at the white sky in a daze, muttering softly: "I don't know how much time has passed. It seems that the time rules in this space have also changed. I haven't been back to the Spirit Tribe for so long. Will those guys find out that I left the Spirit Tribe..."
"No... No, those guys only want to usurp all of my father's power. I used the excuse of retreating to practice. They might be happier to know that I'm gone, and they can start a falling out now."
Mu Shishuang shook her head. She had gradually understood over the years that those guys were just wolves in sheep's clothing. She couldn't defeat them and could only be eaten clean step by step. She didn't act like a clan leader. Her trip out this time also had a bit of an escape meaning.
"If I send Lin Ran and his son back, will those guys agree to let my sister out?"
This seemed to be the first time she thought about this problem. Before, she had always been emotional and thought that her sister could be rescued by catching Lin Ran and his son and trying them.
But if you really think about this problem, it seems that even if she sends Lin Ran and his son back to the clan, with their ugly appearance of fighting for power, they will probably not agree to release her sister.
My sister is much stronger than her. If it were my sister, those guys would definitely not get the upper hand. Moreover, my sister's strength level is also stronger than hers. If the Taiqing spirit body had not been separated by my sister, my sister's strength would not have been greatly reduced and her vitality would not have been seriously injured. In fact, the clan's severe punishment on my sister is basically due to this reason.
What's more, the promise was just a verbal promise, and it was made by her father. If those guys in the clan disowned her and her father was in seclusion, she would have no way to deal with them. After all, without the keys in their hands, how could she release her sister?
The seal at the bottom of that ghost pond was originally set up by many powerful spirits. How could she rely on it?
"Let's save Lin Ran first. No matter what, I can't let my sister be sad..." For Mu Shishuang, her sister is the most important. She hopes that her sister won't have to suffer, but she is also afraid that if her sister knew that she treated Lin Ran like this, the sisters would turn against each other. At least after saving her, she won't be afraid to face her sister in the future because of a guilty conscience. At least she can be a little tougher...
"My energy and blood have almost recovered, let's keep moving forward!" Mu Shishuang stood up, looked up at the endless white snow, and continued to climb the mountain along the stone steps.
……
Although this snow mountain is beautiful, it is a bit too dead, and basically everything you see is white, which can get boring after looking at it for too long.
Mu Shishuang walked and stopped, killed many monsters, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain. There was also a large stone platform covered with snow here, but this time there was a long-haired man wearing a dark blue Taoist robe standing in the center of the arena.
When he sensed Mu Shishuang's arrival, he opened his eyes. His eyes were actually a deep blue. The man's face was also extremely handsome, comparable to all of you readers.
He looked at Mu Shishuang and said with his soul: "You are the first person to come here in so many years and solve the first puzzle. Very good!"
"The first one? What puzzle did I solve?" Mu Shishuang was stunned. What puzzle did she solve? She was confused all the way and just kept fighting monsters.
The man smiled brightly and continued to explain through his soul transmission: "You have chosen the correct order of solving the puzzles. You must first go to the snowy mountain called Jiutian and find Jiutian Bibo Lotus. That is the first puzzle, and here is the second puzzle..."
"What about the second puzzle?"
Mu Shishuang had a bad feeling. Wouldn’t this second puzzle be difficult?
"Second puzzle..."
The man suddenly put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and drew out his sword. It was an ice-blue, translucent sword that refracted a dazzling light under the sunlight. He said in a loud voice: "Tell me why you came here, and defeat me. This is the second test!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in the Taoist robe's hand danced out a series of afterimages, the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
When Mu Shishuang saw the man's performance, her heart was already in turmoil. The sword was so fast that she couldn't even see clearly what kind of sword it was.
The man may have seen Mu Shishuang's hesitation, so he held his sword to his chest and laughed loudly: "Little girl, if you are afraid, you can retreat, but you can't get the Nine Heavens Jade Lotus and the Twin Magnolia Lotus behind me!"
The highest point led to by the path behind the man was actually growing tenaciously against the fierce cold wind on the top of the mountain. The green branches and white petals were shining with a lustrous luster. On the branches were two flowers shaped like snow lotuses blooming. The two snow lotuses grew together like a pair of lovers who were reluctant to part, standing proudly in the wind. The floral fragrance they emitted was shining with a crystal green light. Just a slight sniff made the blood in the body seem to become restless and very active.
"Is that the Twin Magnolia Lotus?"
Mu Shishuang looked at the two twin magnolia lotuses growing on the same branch. It was the first time he saw the real thing. It was indeed a beautiful spiritual medicine.
"is it beautiful?"
The man also turned sideways to look at the twin magnolias, his eyes full of memories. After a while, he turned around and looked at Mu Shishuang and asked, "Do you want to fight? Don't worry, I can relax the conditions a little. You can challenge me unlimitedly. After all, you are the only one who came here in so many years. I can't let you run away in fear!"
Mu Shishuang: ...
It would have been fine if you hadn't said that. Now that you said that, I'm even more scared.
The sword that the man showed just now was really fast. She felt that even if she used her bloodline talent, she might not be able to keep up.
But if she doesn't participate in the challenge, the guy who is still in the coffin of the immortal god can't just ignore her, right?
I was scared when I thought about how I had created such a big trouble. It was impossible for me to keep it secret forever.
She had vaguely felt that there seemed to be a stronger being at a higher level spying on her. Although she blocked it in time, if she leaked even a little bit of her aura, she might be arrested immediately.
I don't know if it was this guy who caused this, but in this guy's memory, he seemed to have come into contact with a high-level strong man, so this possibility is still very high. If someone comes to her house and finds out that she has made him like this, she dare not imagine what other troubles there will be.
She couldn't help but regret it again. Was she stupid? She made this guy like this, but she didn't expect there would be so many consequences that she hadn't thought of before.
"I want to challenge you!"
Under pressure from the inside, Mu Shishuang finally accepted the challenge. If he could take on unlimited challenges, he would be able to pass them, right?
