Chapter 353: The Guardian of the Divine Stone
Cangshan Mountain is majestic, majestic and steep, like a sacred mountain standing between heaven and earth.
You Su looked up and saw that the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sun was shining through the clouds. The snow-capped mountains were as mysterious and spectacular as a fairyland.
"The Shenhui Stone is hidden here."
Chen Yi took a deep breath, his eyes full of expectation and determination. He has been waiting here for thirty years, waiting for this moment.
You Su was slightly surprised, "Why did you find this place?"
"The reason why Cangshan Mountain got its name is because in those days, it was difficult to get close to the Arctic snowfield. And in the Arctic snowfield This mysterious and beautiful snow-capped mountain has naturally become a place that many people yearn for. There is a way to keep out the cold, and Cangshan is no longer so mysterious. People often go to Cangshan to pray for a safe trip when they go deep into the Arctic snowfield. However, the appearance of this blizzard once again made Cangshan hidden in the snow, so that it was almost forgotten. . ”
Chen Yi talked about these old events very well.
"So after you did something wrong back then, you tried to find this once holy mountain to atone for your sins, but accidentally discovered that they hid the Shenhuite here?" You Su tightened his grip on the Mo Song Sword. The hilt of the sword was lifted up, and he was very energetic.
"Yes..." Chen Yi took a deep breath, "Maybe it was a trick of fate. They hid my salvation in the place where I sought salvation."
...
There were a total of thirty-three people including You Su and the clan leader before departure, but now there were only twenty-four left.
"Snow mulberry flowers are flying in the cold wind, and the wind and snow will take you far away." Chen glanced at the remaining clan members, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Fei, and Lao Mu, the children I'll leave it to you. Take them to the back of Cangshan Mountain and find the right way according to the method I taught you. If you tell me, you will definitely be able to get through this blizzard.”
The old man gave his final entrustment. In fact, the three people he named were also very particular. None of the children and young people who went out first were from that year. The person who moves the aphrodisiac stone is, simply put, a clean person.
The remaining people naturally made up their minds to follow You Su and Chen Yi to redeem their sins.
The parting scene is inevitably a bit sad, but the people of the Xuesang tribe seem to have been prepared for it.
The deer's eyes were red, as if he was about to shed tears at any time.
"Master, will you come out?" The girl's voice was heartbreaking.
You Su smiled, his long eyelashes covered with snow:
"I won't die here. Let's go quickly, don't waste the time."
< br>
In this way, a group of people who were reluctant to leave began to divide into two groups.
This separation did not make You Su feel any sadness, but instead gave him a piece of reassurance. Chen Yi was willing to see off his clansmen here, which proved that it was really possible to get out of the Arctic snowfield from here.
At this time, there were only twelve people left in the team going up the mountain, all of whom were guilty. In fact, You Su doesn't quite understand why all these uncultivated people want to follow. If there is really someone guarding here, it must be a strong person with cultivation. If they really encounter this group of mortals, they will just attack the stone with eggs.
But perhaps some people are willing to risk their lives in order to atone for their sins.
You Su followed Chen Yi's steps and walked cautiously in the snow. When we reached the foot of Cangshan Mountain, we felt even more how sacred this holy mountain was.
It is not as shocking as the first impression of Henggao Shenshan. In fact, it is not so majestic and spectacular, but it has an inexplicable feeling of awe.
The snow-capped mountains are steep and the snow is deep. The clan leader and You Su walked at the front, exploring the way for the ten people behind.
Su also discovered an interesting place along the way, where some strange plants grew. These plants were covered by thick ice and snow, but they did not die because of it. Instead, they survived the wind and snow tenaciously.
He approached a plant and found that it was a plant that looked particularly like a pine tree, but it had no pine needles, only a straight branch with some pine resin remaining on it.
"Sedus pine. It is also a very precious plant in Bei Aozhou. The pine resin is scraped off to make women's red cosmetics, and then rubbed on the face. Even in the ice and snow, the skin is rosy and soft. Fairy. Master, you can break off some and give them to your confidante." The closer the clan leader gets to his destination, the more relaxed he becomes, like a man who is finally freed from his burden.
You Su nodded slightly, but he wasn't too polite. In order not to let this trip go in vain, he first broke off seven branches as trophies. The others saw You Su's actions but did not follow suit.
"This thing is so good, you don't want it?"
"How can you dare to take the gift from Cangshan with the body of atonement." Chen Yi's words also expressed the thoughts of this group of people.
You Su shook his head slightly in his heart and continued on his way.
Soon, Chen Yi stopped again, and then motioned everyone to keep silent.
You Su raised his eyebrows, not expecting to reach his destination so quickly.
This way up the mountain was so easy that even You Su found it incredible. There were no traps at all, and no one was blocking it.
What is in front of you is a huge cave with a height of nearly four meters. The cave is isolated by an equally huge stone door.
A few people approached lightly. There were no restrictions on the stone gate. It felt like an ordinary mountain gate.
“This was where I was when I saw someone push open the door and walk in. Even from a distance, I was convinced that the Shenhui Stone was placed here!” The patriarch became more and more excited, “Okay. I buried my body in the snow so that he didn’t notice me! Now that I think about it, this is all the sect trying to help me make up for my past mistakes!”
At that critical moment, without the help of Snow Breath, he would not have survived.
You Su didn't comment on the old man's wishful superstition, but he just felt that it didn't look like someone was guarding the area.
A few people checked the surroundings first and made sure there were no traps before they dared to act. Under the call of the patriarch, a group of people worked together to push the ancient stone gate.
Although the stone gate is thick, what hinders the opening of the stone gate is not the weight of the stone gate itself, but the frost formed in the gap between the stone gate and the mountain rocks.
Obviously, no one has opened this door for a long time.
"Squeak——"
Everyone carefully pushed open the heavy stone door, making a harsh friction sound, as if the secret hidden in the darkness was revealed.
The cave was dark. You Su first threw a stone in, and there were only echoes. You Su stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. This cave is extremely deep and I don’t know where it extends. He could feel the extreme cold emanating from the cave, as if it was the coldness coming from the depths of the snow-capped mountains. "Where's the caretaker?" You Su felt a little strange.
The patriarch also frowned, "Maybe he has been frozen to death, or he has been repatriated, or maybe the person I saw entering was not a watcher at all. After all, it is cold here. The frozen ground is not a place where people can live forever.”
Hearing this, You Su took off the glove on his right hand and drew out the cold Mo Song Sword. When holding the sword, he hoped to have a distance-free connection with the sword.
He led a group of mortals behind him into the cave with a hint of nervousness and expectation.
The air in the cave was cold and dry. Several people lit oil candles together. The candles were gently swayed by the airflow brought by the wind and snow, reflecting the scenery inside the cave.
"Here! They are really still here!" The patriarch was the first to exclaim.
I saw huge aphrodisiac stones arranged neatly in this huge cave. Each aphrodisiac stone is deep black, exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere, as if telling a story A long history.
The patriarch's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He walked slowly towards the Shenhuite and gently stroked the smooth surface, as if communicating with it. The surrounding tribesmen also gathered around, their eyes filled with the feeling of getting what they wanted.
You Su stood aside, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. He carefully observed every corner of the cave. Although the brilliance of the divine stone made people feel inexplicably reassured, he always felt that there was a faint ominous atmosphere here.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded in the cave!
Yousu Xindao is indeed true! Suddenly the arches of his feet were stressed, and his body jumped like a magpie to the place where the screams came from, but the person who made the screams was nowhere to be seen!
He was dragged away!
“Everyone, be careful!”
You Su shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the cave. Just when he was alert, a low roar came from the corner, and a huge black shadow quickly sprang out from the shadows and rushed towards them.
"This...this is...this is Bai Ze!"
Chen Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The guard was huge, looking like more than two meters tall, resembling a tiger and a cow, with two horns on his head, and his body was covered with thick frost and velvet, but his eyes were like burning flames, exuding a suffocating aura. Coercion. Its appearance is like an avalanche rushing down from the snow-capped mountains, making people lose the courage to resist.
"Bai Ze?!"
A trace of doubt flashed in You Su's eyes, but there was no time for him to hesitate. He immediately swung his sword out of its sheath and slashed at the person who was coming towards him. That giant monster.
The weapon was in direct contact with flesh and blood, but You Su was shocked to find that the Mo Song Sword could not cut into Bai Ze's hand!
Bai Ze, who was confronting You Su, seemed to feel the pain caused by the Mo Song Sword. With a wave of his hand, he suddenly threw You Su away.
You Su stabilized his figure in the air, feeling extremely shocked. His flesh and blood strength was stronger than before, but he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Bai Ze's power. Moreover, the Mo Songjian, which had always sharpened iron like clay, could not even leave a single wound on the opponent's body!
What a terrifying body this is!
“Ah!”
During this brief interval, another tribesman was caught by the guardian’s giant claws, and his painful screams echoed in the cave. Bai Ze picked up the man's feet and smashed them to the ground, as if he was throwing a bunch of grapes. A pool of blood was instantly smashed on the ground and splashed onto Chen Yi's face.
Chen Yi stared stiffly at the death of his companions. Only then did he realize what a mistake it was to rush in here rashly.
Is it wrong to want to atone? Wouldn't it be good if he just kept his name anonymous, ignored the divine stone, and then took his tribe to find a small town to live in?
“You guys get out first!!”
You Su rushed up to stop him. He waved his sword while commanding the clan members.
But Bai Ze, who had scarlet eyes, obviously would not let the intruders escape. He blocked the door, his huge body like a hill.
You Su did not feel any profound energy from this giant's body, which meant that it was simply relying on its powerful body to compete with him.
"You never said there was such a monster here!!" You Su yelled at the absent-minded old man, trying to wake him up.
"It's not a monster... it's Bai Ze..." Chen Yi's voice trembled. The strange thing was that this was obviously the monster that killed his companions, but his tone was filled with great compassion.
As if lightning flashed in You Su's mind, he suddenly remembered the record about this strange word.
It is said that Bai Ze is covered in snow-white body, can speak human language and understand the emotions of all things. He is one of the rare mythical beasts in the world. They are all saints descended from heaven, and Bai Ze appears in this world. He is an auspicious beast that can turn misfortunes into good fortune.
The patriarch is right, no one can live here forever in the cold weather, but that doesn’t mean Baize can’t!
Even if such a precious thing is placed in an inaccessible place, how can it be safe if no one is watching it!
But how could the legendary auspicious beast become so violent and crazy?
You Su looked at the mountain-like figure with a sword in his hand. The guard in front of him rushed towards him again, this time with even greater momentum. You Su felt the blood in his body being activated. The cold world made him almost forget the feeling of blood boiling all over his body.
He did not dodge, but directly blocked Bai Ze's collision. And he also proved at no small cost that even in this state, he couldn't hold off Bai Ze!
His figure flew out and hit the stone wall directly.
The huge force caused You Su's internal organs to churn, a bloody smell surged in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
But Bai Ze didn't give him time to breathe. The huge fleshy palm attacked again, and You Su quickly rolled away to avoid it. Bai Ze missed the target and immediately changed his attack, grabbing Yu Su on the ground with his big hand.
You Suan spat, used the Ruyi Wind Control Technique and stood up gracefully. He was not knocked down by the pain coming from his body. On the contrary, such fighting made him unable to feel the severe cold around him.
Bai Ze beat his chest and roared at Yu Su. After Yu Su tried to compete with his strength and failed, he also changed his strategy and fled in all directions by taking advantage of his light body. Bai Ze chased after him as if he was annoyed, and even forgot to chase the other intruders. Thanks to this, the surviving tribesmen had retreated outside the cave.
Baize's attacks became more and more fierce. After all, Yu Su was not a monk who specialized in dodge. He was finally forced into a desperate situation and had to use a move to gain space. But at the moment when the two armies were in close combat, You Su found that Bai Ze's palm stopped where it was, and then retracted it like a dart!
You Su thought quickly and instantly understood the reason!
He was forced into the middle of two divine stones. If Bai Ze took action, he would definitely hit the divine stones!
This caretaker must have been given some kind of instruction. He must not destroy the aphrodisiac stone!
You Su quickly got away, already having a strategy in mind to fight the enemy!
