Phoenix Returns - C61
“The water in this river is not hot, is it?” Chu Shiyao slowly got off the carriage and walked over the ice to see the water in the hole. There were still fish swimming in it.
It was not surprising that some fish claimed that water was not a problem. The north was extremely cold, but there was also a phenomenon known as the reversal of warm water.
“After we cross this river, we will reach the border of the Snowy Mountains. How about we abandon the carriage and walk there on foot?” Yu Wuyou suggested.
At the very least, he had to lie down comfortably inside the carriage. Even if the water was warm, the ice layer might not collapse.
There were traces of driving off on the ice. If someone else had left, why couldn’t they?
“If you want to leave, go by yourself. I don’t want to freeze to death on this path.”
Master Chu had left Yu Wuyou behind, he himself was driving the horse carriage forward, and seeing that he could not stop him, Yu Wuyou could only shake his head and sigh as he followed behind.
“Giddy ~”
The horse carriage moved quickly through the ice, and Yu Wuyou slowly made his way to the ice, feeling a rustling sound beneath his feet.
Yu Wuyou felt that something was wrong, so he stopped and looked at the entire glacier. At the bottom of the river, there was a black shadow following behind the horse carriage.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of movement beneath his feet. Bubbles began to form from the holes in the ice.
The shadow in the water was slowly approaching the car, and the ice around the hole began to crack.
Yu Wuyou sensed that something was wrong and shouted loudly! ” Get out of the car, it’s dangerous! ”
Before Chu Shiyu could even stretch his head out, the entire car was already blasted open. A long crack appeared in the ice, and the car slowly descended along with the disturbance.
Chu Shiyu was greatly shocked. He picked up the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox and threw it out of the window. He looked at the Fire Lion again and saw that it had already jumped out of the car.
“Ah Yu ~”
Yu Wuyou ran over, but was unable to grab hold of the car, only seeing the water bubbling under the cracks.
The black shadow under the water immediately fled towards the place where the carriage had fallen. Yu Wuyou was alarmed and jumped into the ice river from the crevice.
Looking for traces of her in the water, the so-called black shadow was actually a school of fish. However, after the school of fish swam around the carriage, they turned towards the horses that were sinking into the lake to chase her.
The sinking horses struggled in the shoal of fish. Not long after, the muscles on their bodies disappeared, revealing a few bones.
They were man-eating fish, a school of fish that ate flesh. Their attacks were very strong, and anything that touched flesh and blood would disappear in an instant.
Yu Wuyou could not find Chu Shiyu no matter what. She avoided the school of fish and looked around until she saw the belt on her body floating in front of her. Just as she was about to go down, Chu Shiyu pulled her from behind.
At this time, the school of fish discovered the two people, and swam towards them. Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou desperately swam upstream, and the school of fish chased after the two of them.
When he was almost at the feet of the two, Yu Wuyou finally threw a bouquet of powder at the school of fish, only to see the group of fish chasing him slowly roll up their white bellies.
Returning to the ice, Chu Shiyu said angrily, “You want to go down there to die but don’t implicate me? It was all for you! ”
Yu Wuyou wiped the water droplets off his face and laughed wickedly: “For me, I am afraid that if you die, I will lose an ally, and I cannot swallow the dragon’s scale alone.”
The Mentor sneezed, rolled his eyes, then hopped on the back of the Flaming Lion and walked forward.
“Are there cannibal fish in this damn place? “It seems like Xue Lan’s trip wasn’t very lucky!”
Yu Wuyou sighed, the snowy mountain in the distance was snow-white, it would be good if there was a village nearby, but if it was just the two of them, sooner or later, they would freeze to death, it would take too long for his medicine to suppress the cold.
He hadn’t even arrived at Xue Lan, and yet he was already in such a sorry state. It was a pity that the precious medicine in the carriage was gone.
When he looked at Chu Shiyu again, he had already reached the opposite shore, so he quickly followed.
Although the snow was falling in all four seasons, the snowy scenery was no worse than the green hills and rivers in the south. The glaciers were steep and wondrous, more like a fairyland than any other place in the world.
Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou walked in the snow for two days while wearing wet clothes, and only after the cold had invaded their bodies did they find a cave to rest.
Sitting inside the cave, other than the sound of the wind, there was no one else. The biting cold was even stronger than outside.
Master Chu withdrew his robe and climbed onto the Fire Lion to warm it up. He saw the Fire Lion shoot out a few bouquets of fire into the ice cave and the ice layer slowly melted. Only when the ice water completely melted did he realize that this was a cave.
There were also some weeds on the ground, which were the resting places of merchants who had once walked on the streets. It was only because September had passed and the snow had grown even stronger that the fog formed an icy cave.
Wet clothes were roasting beside a bonfire, and Chu Shiyu sneezed a few times before she saw Yu Wuyou drape a dry robe over her.
“Take off your clothes and roast it. Now that you don’t have any pills left, there’s no way to suppress the cold. If you do this, you and I will be hurt by the cold.”
Chu Shiyu lazily dragged his tired body into the depths of the cave. Only then did he take back his clothes and raise his head to look at a mural on the stone wall.
The painting on it was actually a painting of the Spring Palace. It was so dazzling that it blinded her eyes!
Seeing that she did not make any sound for a long time, Yu Wuyou finally walked in to take a look. The clothes that were half hanging on her arms had not faded as he stared at the murals on the wall.
Yu Wuyou swallowed his saliva and reminded him, “Are you serious about the pictures on the wall? “If you’ve admired enough, then put on your clothes.”
“Who the hell created this painting?” The human customs in the Kingdom of Shulan were truly open-minded. He could even create something like that, but why does this woman look so familiar? ”
The woman in the mural was beautiful. Although she was naked, the mural had deliberately highlighted the image on her left shoulder.
She remembered that when she was very young, she saw a portrait of a woman in the Grand Ancestor Palace. That woman’s left shoulder also had the same design.
It was an Luan Phoenix pattern. At that time, the emperor’s grandfather was furious for several days after seeing this pattern. He forbade any descendants of the royal family from marrying the person with this pattern.
At that time, Chu Shiyu was still young and did not understand why. He could only faintly hear that this Luan Feng was a scourge.
This woman wore a phoenix coronet. This was the will of the lord, Feng Chengxiang, as well as the symbol of the royal clan. Yet, this painting had appeared in the snow orchids.
Yu Wuyou saw that she did not respond even after a long time, he silently closed his eyes, pulled her into his embrace and forced her onto the stone wall.
“Yu Wuyou, what are you doing?”
“I see that you seem to yearn for something when you look at this mural. Do you want me to satisfy you? Wouldn’t it be better to lie down and admire it? ”
Pui ~ Who would have thought? She was only thinking about who the woman in the mural was, and why the Ancestor would be so angry after seeing it.
“You’re so shameless. You have thoughts about a mural, and you think everyone is as vile as you think they are.”
Break away from him. She put her clothes back on and walked out of the cave.
Seeing Yu Wuyou’s look of contempt, he only took a glance and immediately felt a burning sensation on his body. He could not believe that she did not react at all.
But she really didn’t have any reaction to it. Could it be that the mural was only effective against men and women? It was the mural that reminded her of something.
Yu Wuyou looked at the mural once again in confusion. The image was vivid and lifelike, the woman was beautiful and moving, and the man had an ordinary square face.
It was just that the movements in the painting were unsightly. Men and women were having fun like fish in water.
