Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 282 Undying Winter

The vortex of sword energy above Jianyan Cave can be said to be the most spectacular scene in Kunlun Mountains in the past year and a half. It lasted for a day and a night before dissipating. After that, Kunlun Mountains became quiet again.

Except for those people in front of the cave, no one knew why the vision was born, and they naturally didn't know what happened.

Many people were curious, but they didn't dare to go to Jianyan Cave to find out, because it was the headmaster's residence. Jing Lu could guess something, but he endured his curiosity and practiced in closed-door training at Falling Star Cliff.

In this way, another seven days passed, Ning Zhiqiu returned to Chaotian City, Ji Huan returned to Duantian Pavilion, Wu Cangyu, Wen Zhuo and other eight people continued to practice in the Qingfeng where Jianyan Cave is located, as if nothing happened.

Meng Jinfan was afraid that the Yunjian Sect would continue to cause trouble for him, so he simply stayed in Kunlun Mountain. At the same time, he could ask Tang Ge for swordsmanship at any time.

What made him extremely dissatisfied was that Tang Ge had already broken through to the upper level of Qianyuan and was at the same level as him.

Three months passed in this way, and late autumn came, and the Kunlun realm became lively again, with countless practitioners appearing in the northern realm.

Pei Qiuhan left Kunlun Mountain three months ago, and also went to the north.

The re-opening of the Nine Traces naturally attracted countless practitioners. The underground ruins of Tongxiang City was one of the Nine Traces back then. Because no one knew about it beforehand, it didn't attract much attention. But this time, the entire Kunlun world knew about it.

Of course, the vast majority of people are watching the excitement. After all, the competition for aura is a matter between those who are strong in the Phaseless Realm, but it is also an experience to be able to participate in such a grand event.

Kunlun Mountain is closed by the active array, so naturally one cannot go out of the mountain at will, and Tang Ge doesn't seem to have any intention of letting his disciples go down the mountain.

He decided to go out of the mountain, but he only brought Gu Zhiyue and Wu Cangyu with him. Of course, Meng Jinfan would follow. Before leaving, he went to the Starfall Cliff to meet Jing Lu. As for what he said and did, it was all a secret.

……

……

The deepest impression on the world is the wonders of thousands of miles of ice and the weather where snow can fall anytime and anywhere.

But for practitioners, the most eye-catching thing is the lake that never freezes.

Winter Lake.

Cold Winter Lake is located in the extremely remote hinterland of the northern border, and it is also the source of water for countless people in the northern border.

The lake is huge, occupying a radius of hundreds of miles. It is more like a sea, but it is as green as jade. It can be said to be a bright pearl on the snow field.

Although the northern border is miserable, the people are more than rich and enjoy the momentary happiness. Except for a few people who have great ambitions and vainly try to expand the territory. For thousands of years, war after war has plunged the people into dire straits.

Since the Great Zhou Empire defeated the northern border with an absolute advantage many years ago, this place has only been peaceful.

……

……

Although there is no snow on the edge of the northern border, it is extremely cold all year round, with strong winds sweeping across, and there is only about one month of peace every year.

Tang Ge, Gu Zhiyue, Wu Cangyu, and Meng Jinfan spent nearly a month from Kunlun Mountains to the edge of the northern border. The speed was not fast, and they met many practitioners going to the northern border along the way.

Qinghai City is the junction of the Great Zhou Empire and the northern border, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Royal Court.

But a long time ago, this city was the territory of the Great Zhou Empire, and later the northern border rebelled and took the city.

Later, God General Liuyun and God General Su led the army and finally disintegrated the rebellion. However, the Great Zhou Empire did not take back Qinghai City, but gave it to the northern royal court as a gift, which was regarded as a symbol.

Of course, the Northern Royal Court also paid a price.

Tang Ge didn't go directly to the hinterland of the northern border like everyone else. His biggest goal was not Jiuji and Lingyun, but something else.

When the four of them appeared outside the Qinghai city gate, they were stopped by the defenders.

Although the Great Zhou Empire and the Northern Territory are living in harmony now, the two sides don't like to see each other very much, especially when the people from the Northern Territory see people from the South, they are extremely strict and unusual.

"Wooden sign?"

The thick voice of the guard soldier reached Tang Ge's ears, and he spoke a very unfamiliar word.

Tang Ge looked at the northern defender along his broad arms. He was a tall man with a rough face and a pair of bright eyes.

"Wooden sign!"

Seeing Tang Ge staring at him, the defender looked a little unnatural, and then raised his voice again.

Tang Ge looked at him calmly, but the latter only felt his body go cold and froze in place, unable to move.

"Hey, military master, wait a minute."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a sudden sound came from the city. The defender was immediately excited and turned his head to look over.

Walking out of the city gate was a fat man, dressed in linen and cotton clothes, with a smile on his face and his small eyes shining brightly. He looked like a shrewd guy.

Tang Ge's eyes fell on the fat man, and he nodded slightly for some reason.

Gu Zhiyue and Wu Cangyu were somewhat puzzled.

Meng Jinfan glanced around, a little curious about the customs and customs here.

"Long San, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the person coming, the defender couldn't help shouting angrily, obviously the two knew each other.

"It turned out to be Brother Xirong."

The fat man's little eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Tang Ge and then moved his gaze to the defenders and said, "They are my relatives from afar. If there are any wooden signs anywhere, please be accommodating."

The fat man named Long San always had a flattering smile on his face. He held something unknown in his hand and stuffed it into the hands of the defender named Xirong.

Tang Ge's eyes were slightly concentrated, and through the gap between his fingers, he could vaguely see a faint light of Jinze.

"Your clan members? People from the Zhou Dynasty or from our side?"

Xi Rong was holding the heavy object that was stuffed by Long San in his hand, with a smile on his face.

Long San said: "You really know how to joke. You already said that you are my relatives. How could you be a member of the Great Zhou?"

"That's good, let's take him in. Remember to go to Huawu to make a few wooden signs, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to move and do things."

Xi Rong said with a smile, but Tang Ge's indifferent gaze from before still appeared in his mind.

"Okay, yes, definitely."

Long San bowed and laughed again, and then quickly entered the city with Tang Ge and the others.

……

……

Qinghai City is a small city, I don't know how many times smaller than Chaotian City, the number one city in the world.

The whole city was filled with cold air, and the cold current from the north spread to every corner.

Along the way, without saying a word, Tang Ge and others followed Long San to avoid the downtown area and came to a sparsely populated street where there was an antique shop.

The storefront is small and old, without a signboard. When you step into the store, it looks even more dilapidated. There are rare and strange things on the shelves. Like this store, it is very old and very old.

The door of the antique shop is open, welcoming visitors from all directions, but no one patronizes this shabby shop.

The four of Tang Ge followed Long San into the inner room, and the latter immediately went uncharacteristically, the smile on his face was suppressed, he saluted Tang Ge respectfully, and said, "Disciple Liu Si, I pay my respects to Master Master Uncle."

Gu Zhiyue, Wu Cangyu, and Meng Jinfan all had slightly different expressions. Is this person also a member of Kunlun Mountain?But Tang Ge just nodded calmly and said, "Are you Yu Jian's disciple?"

Long San said: "It is the disciple. The disciple's real name is Liu Si. Long San is the pseudonym in Qinghai City."

Gu Zhiyue had a vague impression that there really seemed to be such a person in Taichuya.

After Tang Ge took over as the headmaster, he received classics and various records from various branches. Naturally, there were also these materials scattered among the disciples in various places. No matter how secret he was doing, he, the headmaster of Kunlun Mountain, should always know about it.

"A few days ago, the master sent a message via blood sparrow, saying that you would come to the northern border. The disciple waited at the city gate every day. I didn't expect that you actually passed by here."

As Ryuzo spoke, he took out a gold token from the cotton-padded clothes on his chest, with the word Kunlun engraved on it, shimmering and implying the scorching glory.

Tang Ge glanced at it casually, and recognized that the golden token was the identity symbol of the Kunlun Mountain sect, and said, "How many years have you been here?"

Ryuzo said: "The seventh year."

Tang Ge thought about it again, it should be about the same time as he went down the mountain, thought for a moment, and asked directly without considering the presence of others: "Is there any news about the mountain owner?"

Long San hides in Qinghai City, the biggest purpose is to find the whereabouts of the mountain master, although now the source array has been stabilized, but he has also formed a habit.

"No."

Ryuzo shook his head helplessly and said: "The mountain master seems to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace."

Tang Ge sat down on a chair casually and said, "Don't be in a hurry."

Long San nodded silently.

Tang Ge suddenly said again: "Da Zhou and the royal court in the north have already settled their suspicions. Why are the city gate guards still so wary of people coming from the south?"

Longsan sighed softly, and said, "For the past few years, the royal court in the north did not strictly check the people coming from the south. In recent years, for some reason, the king of the north suddenly ordered that anyone who is not from the north must be strictly controlled." Interrogate, and if necessary, seize first."

Tang Ge was silent for a moment and said, "This Northern King is quite interesting."

Long San raised his head to look at Tang Ge, and said, "Master, you also came here for Jiuji?"

Tang Ge said, "It's Cold Winter Lake."

Long San frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid I can't go at this time."

Tang Ge asked, "Why?"

Long San said solemnly: "Three months ago, the Northern King suddenly sent troops to surround the area dozens of miles around Cold Winter Lake, and there were strong men in the phaseless realm stationed there."

The room suddenly fell silent, and Tang Ge raised his brows slightly.

Long San glanced at him, and said again: "It is rumored that a big secret has been discovered deep in the bottom of the lake."
