The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path-Chapter 125 - Snowfield
Chapter 125 - Snowfield
Edited by Molly and Animeart
In December, the weather was so cold that the ground was frozen.
Beyond the boundaries of the Peach Blossom Land, there was only wilderness all around.
The grasses were withered, and the dead trees stood, covered with a thin layer of frost, and crows inhabited them from time to time.
Lin Shu closed his eyes, but he could still see the river of blood in Peach Blossom Land in front of him.
He had never experienced anything like this in his previous two decades of life.
Even when he received the news of his Master’s death, he only felt slight desolation and understood he was alone in this world. After all, it was inevitable for humans to die, but Peach Blossom Land was not similar. The destruction was too unexpected.
And although the blame for this massacre lay with the Great Wizard, it was also related to him.
He was in a daze when he suddenly heard Xiao Shao say, “This person, the Great Wizard, is so sinister and unpredictable. He acts strangely, and his moves cannot be guessed by common sense.”
When the Great Wizard slaughtered the whole village, he said that there was no pure place in the world.
Was it because he hates clean places?
Otherwise, what are the people in Peach Blossom Land?
Killing seemed to be an understatement to the Great Wizard. He wanted to kill, so he killed.
Xiao Shao said, “The day when Southern Xia and the Great Wizard finally meet with their swordsmen and soldiers may not be far away. In the future… I will surely kill this person to comfort the villagers.”
After hearing these words, Lin Su suddenly felt that he could no longer leave Southern Xia.
The Auntie, Li Jimao and Li Yamao in the ghost village of Min Prefecture took care of him a lot. Mr. Meng, Mr. Xiuzhao, and Mr. Bi Lin were all his mentors, who showed him kindness.
Xiao Shao, Yue Ruohe, Yue Ruoyun, and Cang Min were all his friends. He and Xiao Shao could even be said to be close friends who had lived and died together. This was love.
For the Great Wizard who slaughtered the entire Peach Blossom Land, this is an enmity.
The engraving at the gate of the Shangling Academy said, “Immortals complete their undertaking within a hundred years, yet they cherish the Jianghu in a single gaze”, the world at the foot of the mountain was a turbulent area of rivers and lakes.
He finally inevitably entered the grievances and hatreds of the Jianghu, and the grace must be avenged, and revenge must be paid. Only when all debts are settled, can he cut off all contact with the world again, stay away from the world, and pursue the immortal way.
Two years ago, on that snowy night when they were roasting rats, Xie Zishe said that it had been a long time since the path of immortality had been lost, and it is true.
These immortal cultivators were born in Southern Xia and grew up in Southern Xia. They learned martial arts and skills of immortality in Southern Xia’s Shangling Academy. They hated the country and the family, and kept their diary in their hearts. How could they break away from the world?
They were not immortals. Cultivating immortality is a way to gain strength.
In troubled times, there are no immortals.
He opened his mouth, his voice a little astringent, and said: “I.. will stand with you.”
Xiao Shao said, “It’s not your job to fight in the army.”
Lin Shu said, “I also want to have a clear conscience.”
Xiao Shao was silent for a long time and said, “Okay.”
All around them was quiet and silence, and no one was chasing them. They went straight south for a whole day. Late at night, they stayed in an inn in an unnamed town.
Xiao Shao said, “What do you think the purpose of the Great Wizard’s trip was?”
He said as he unfolded a map of Northern Xia.
Lin Shu was stunned.
This was the first time Xiao Shao has asked for his opinion on these matters.
Prior to this, neither Xiao Shao, the Big Miss, or the cousin had ever been like this——he had sole discretion to decide where to go, how things were going, and what to do.
I was completely just a hamster brought by you.
And the question now, was it because of his statement just now?
He looked at the map.
The Peach Blossom Land was probably in the middle of the Northern Xia Dynasty and the northern and southern border. Now they were close to the northern and southern border, and they were still one day away from the Jubei Pass.
There were three possible purposes as to why the Great Wizard came here.
One was to hunt them down and get back 《The Ten Thousand Parts of Creation》.
The second was to explore the Qingming Cave and obtain treasures.
Neither of the above was true, then there was only one possibility left——the Great Wizard just went all the way to the south, and followed the trace of 《The Ten Thousand Parts of Creation》.
And all the way to the south…
Further south is the border.
Lin Shu said, “We got the blood poison sample, but the Great Wizard must still have some in his hands.”
Xiao Shao: “Indeed.”
The Blood poison, as long as there is a method of development, there are as many as you need.
Yue Ruohe brought the blood poison sample back to the academy, and it was only to enable the academy to study countermeasures as soon as possible.
“Furthermore… The Great Wizard was in seclusion before. He didn’t even participate in the Sorcerer’s Gathering. His left and right guardians were killed by us, and he did not even respond.” Lin Shu looked at the map and said, “I think his closed-door seclusion was very important.”
Xiao Shao: “I think he advanced to a new realm again, or researched a new technique.”
Lin Shu nodded, “So he went south, most likely to Southern xia.”
“The Great Wizard left traces on his way to the south, so that we can know his whereabouts. We must be completely sure.” Xiao Shao looked at the map and said in a deep voice, “Jubei Pass…”
He said, “The war may be approaching, I will send a letter to the capital, we will immediately rush to Jubei Pass.”
Lin Shu nodded.
Xiao Shao: “You go back to Qingming Cave to rest first.”
Lin Shu: “Okay.”
The man who cultivated immortality could go without eating, drinking or sleeping. However, Lin Shu’s mortal body still needed to sleep.
He went back to the bronze dice where the cave was, and Xiao Shao took it with him.
Once back in the cave, the Elder Martial Brother floated out, “Younger Martial Brother, you are back!”
Lin Shu said, “Hello, Elder Martial Brother.”
Elder Martial Brother said, “Younger Martial Brother, your daughter is so lovely.”
Lin Shu said, “He is lovely.”
Fruit liked Qingming cave, so he didn’t come out. He had been studying all kinds of treasures in it, with Elder Martial Brother as his companion.
He asked, “Elder Martial Brother, is there a place for me to live?”
The Elder Martial Brother said, “Do you want to stay in Master’s bedroom?”
Lin Shu: “Anywhere else?”
The Elder Martial Brother said, “There are guest rooms.”
Lin Shu was taken to the guest room of Qingming Cave by his Elder Martial Brother.
The furnishings of the guest room were very gorgeous, but now he didn’t want to see it, and he couldn’t sleep. He just looked at the Folding Bamboo sword in a daze.
The Folding bamboo sword is still so crystal clear, cold all over.
Fruit came to him at some point and said, “You can use chalcedony.”
Lin Shu took out the light green chalcedony.
Fruit took it from him and infused it with spiritual power. The chalcedony turned into light green liquid. Drop by drop, it fell on the body of Folding Bamboo sword, and then gradually disappeared.
According to Fruit, the folding bamboo had already been enlightened, but it needed a lot of Qi and a lot of heaven and earth aura, for it to turn into shape, and this had to be done slowly.
Fruit holding Lin Shu’s arm, said to him: “Folding Bamboo is a boy.”
Lin Shu: “Eh?”
“That’s why I got haw!” Fruit said, “Weapon transformation depends on whether it’s male or female! It was the folding bamboo that almost killed me!”
Lin Shu: “Isn’t it because Xiao Shao and I are men?”
Fruit way: “It was also because of you two!”
Lin Shu: “Xiao Shao no longer has Yingying?”
Fruit said: “Xiao Shao is bad.”
Lin Shu: “Eh?”
Fruit said, “He wants the Beauty’s Grace to bear another fruit, to be used for ‘Identical Sorrow’, and ‘Identical Sorrow’ is a girl.”
Lin Shu: “…”
He asked, “Then you.., can you bear fruit again?”
“I’m trying to bear fruit.” Fruit hugged his neck, “I must breathe more of Lin Shu’s aura, not Xiao Shao. Yingying is just like Lin Shu, not like Xiao Shao, I’m mad at him.”
There was a light fruity fragrance on the body of fruit.
Fruit looked a bit more like the Big Miss, and she was very beautiful and proud.
Lin Shu stroked his hair.
Fruit put out his tongue, got into the quilt, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes.
Such a small and beautiful one already felt pain.
Lin Shu turned his head to look at Folding Bamboo.
After it absorbed the chalcedony, the sword light of Folding Bamboo seemed to be clearer again.
He held the hilt of the sword, and suddenly there was a mysterious feeling.
It felt as though he and the sword had suddenly linked.
He was in a trance, his eyes went dark, and after a short while, he realized that he was actually in a boundless snowfield.
There was a clear ice in the center of the snow field.
He approached.
The rectangular ice was like an ice coffin, and there was a person lying in the ice coffin.
A young man of short stature, dressed in white and with black hair. Everything was very hazy, as if there was a layer of veil covering the young man’s true features. He neither could see the details of his clothes, nor the outline of his face.
Tick.
A drop of water fell from the corner of the ice coffin. Lin Shu looked up at the snowy sky, and saw a pale sun hung in the northwest.
Is this young man the sword spirit of Folding bamboo? Would he be able to transform into shape the day the ice cube melted?
He reached out and touched the hard ice.
The mysterious feeling rushed to his heart again, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.
He was cold all over, and the chill spread from his bones to his whole body, as if he was lying in an ice coffin at this moment.
