Slave forever

What Chu Yue held was just a long sword forged in an ordinary blacksmith shop, but when he made a move, he heard a very thin dragon chant from the edge of the sword, which was clear and sweet in the dark hall, and the sword intent was awe-inspiring, and he was forced to besiege him The guards stepped back in unison.

Yan Qinghe's expression darkened immediately when he saw his sword's momentum, and he said in surprise, "This is...'Sword of Life'?! How could a mere shadow guard know Mutang's unique skills? Who are you?"

Chu Yue didn't answer, he didn't care about fighting at this time, and he didn't care about hiding his clumsiness. With a move of "Wind Rises White Waves", he pulled out nine sword flowers and forced the people around him away. As soon as the encirclement was broken up, he immediately looked for the right time to perform light kung fu to quickly plunder out of the hall.

The guards were still waiting to chase, but Yan Qinghe stopped him with a gesture.He looked at Chu Yue's leaving figure with a dark and unclear expression, and his real eyes made Chu Yue look back at him as if he had noticed something before leaving. Their eyes collided with each other, thrilling.

Seeing Chu Yue escape calmly, several guards knelt down anxiously, not daring to raise their heads to look at Yan Qinghe, pleading guilty one after another, "Master, this subordinate has neglected his duty!"

Yan Qinghe flicked his long sleeves, and said with a sneer: "Mediocre! Yan Huaifeng really has evil intentions, and this kind of people can also be recruited under his command. You should be glad that his 'Life Sword' has not been practiced to the ninth level, otherwise you don't have to do it here. Please forgive me."

The guards were all stunned, thinking of the breathtaking sword intent just now, it was heartbreaking.One of the leaders pursed his lips, and boldly said loudly: "Master, please forgive me for talking too much, the lightness kung fu performed by the thief just now seems to be Mutang's 'Tianhe Changfeng'."

Yan Qinghe glanced at him, and after a while he waved his hands to get everyone up, and said in a deep voice, "Please come here, Shen Yu, the master of the wooden hall."

"Yes!"

The guards broke out in a cold sweat. The man just now had excellent martial arts skills, but he didn't kill them after all. However, Yan Qinghe, the master of the Holy Gate, has become eccentric and unpredictable since he came out of the retreat. He is completely different from before. people.

What seemed like an ordinary reprimand to them just now was like walking through the gates of hell, and everyone immediately retreated quietly as if they were pardoned.

Yan Qinghe walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, and slowly turned into the side hall that Yan Huaifeng used to use as his study.

Meili Snow Mountain is to the north of the Holy Gate, where the climate is weird, and the sky is different for ten miles.There may be flowers, plants and wild animals at the foot of the mountain, but the top of the mountain is covered with snow, covered with silver light. Years of snow has covered the top of the mountain layer by layer, and the eyes are full of despair.

This is a snow mountain that few people set foot on, not only because of its harsh climate, but more importantly, there is an ice prison built on the top of the mountain, which is a place specially used by the Holy Gate to detain the heinous people.

Because of the special structure of the ice prison, there is no need for guards, and the entire snow mountain is completely deserted.

Food is brought up only three times a month, and it is not afraid of spoilage in the cold weather anyway, and the rest of the time people are left there to fend for themselves.

As soon as Chu Yue came out of the Palace of Thousand Tribulations, he urged the Changfeng of the Tianhe River to the extreme, and walked up and down between the eaves without touching the ground. He didn't dare to relax until he came out of the Holy Gate. Hearing the crowing of horses in the distance, the thousand-mile horse gifted by Zhaixing broke free from the stable like a human being and galloped towards him.

Chu Yue flew on the horse and never looked back.The Holy Gate grew farther and farther behind him until it could no longer be seen.

This place that he has regarded as his home for two lifetimes, I am afraid that he will never go back.However, any melancholy or emotion at this time was inappropriate, he knew that he had already startled the snake, and Yan Qinghe would definitely order others to take Yan Huaifeng away before he did.

So he can't rest for a moment!

The sound of horseshoes sounded all the way, but what is disturbing is that it has been calm all the time.The imaginary pursuers did not appear. For two days and two nights, he was the only one who passed by alone on the entire road. Occasionally, a few bushes of dancing grass on the side of the road swayed, which made him subconsciously think that there was an ambush and wanted to shot.

The whole world is too silent, the more silent it is, the deeper the uneasiness in Chu Yue's heart.This unusual silence seems to be brewing a bigger conspiracy, like the sea before a storm, it is always calm.

At sunset on the third day, the sleepless people finally arrived at Meili Snow Mountain. The mountain was so steep that horses could never climb it. Chu Yue could only abandon his horse and climb the mountain on foot.

As if he was tireless, he silently patted his partner who accompanied him all the way, and then let it go.

He couldn't leave his horse at the foot of the mountain, it was almost announcing to everyone that he had reached the snow mountain, even though everyone knew that he would definitely come to find Yan Huaifeng, but they never expected him to come so quickly.

"Go to your original master." Chu Yue whispered to the horse, regardless of whether it understood or not.

He didn't know what role Zhai Xing played in this series of unreasonable events, but at present, at least she was on Yan Huaifeng's side, otherwise she wouldn't have done these things.

The brown-red horse shook its head, wagged its tail and rubbed affectionately on Chu Yue's face, and after being smoothed by Chu Yue as he wished, he left like a wind.

Chu Yue only rested for less than a cup of tea before starting to climb the mountain.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the mountain wind, mixed with fine snowflakes, rushing towards your face with your head covered. I didn't see that he was frozen, but the snow was deep and it was difficult to walk step by step.

Although the ice prison is on the top of the mountain, it is not a conspicuous building that can be seen at a glance.The snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all the year round, and it has been accumulated for a long time, and the snow underneath has been pressed into a solid layer of ice.

The ice prison was rebuilt using these natural ice layers. The thousand-year-old ice is extremely cold, and ordinary people can hardly bear it.If Chu Yue hadn't been thrown into the cold pool for three days and three nights by the owner of Guigu Valley, and then he was too afraid of the cold because of the cold poison penetrating into his bones, so he simply chose the internal strength of Yin and Han to fight poison with poison during training, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to make a single step.

It was also a blessing in disguise, but now it has become a good place to practice qigong.

When Chu Yue reached the top of the mountain, he stopped moving.He stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the direction of the setting sun. The blood-like afterglow was covered with snow, like a field of red plum blossoms, extremely gorgeous.

Until the sun finally disappeared, leaving only the last ray of light, forming a thin beam of light, pointing to an unremarkable small stone.

There are countless such stones on the snow-capped mountains. Unless one knows the secret of the setting sun guiding the way, no one can find the entrance to the ice prison.

I squeezed a small pebble and tapped it a few times, emitting a series of rhythms that seemed to be chaotic but faintly regular. The entrance to the ice prison finally opened under the dark sky, and the cold air forced people.

Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help being a little nervous. He was going to see Yan Huaifeng soon. Is he okay?Being locked up in this kind of place shouldn't get better, maybe I've already suffered a lot...

Suppressing the wild thoughts in his mind, he slowly walked into the ice prison, and the door closed silently again. There was a moment of darkness, and then there was a bright light again.

A prison made of cold ice naturally cannot be illuminated by candles and oil lamps, so the ice walls are inlaid with night pearls of all sizes, round and plump, shining brightly, and any one you take out will be beautiful. Priceless.

The Holy Gate was once so brilliant, but now it not only retreats to southern Yunnan, but also has constant turmoil, which has to make people feel emotional.

Chu Yue adjusted his breathing carefully. He didn't know if there was a mechanism to prevent outsiders from breaking in. He saw countless night pearls above his head forming a star map shape, moving forward along the long passage. Like a shining galaxy.

Stepping lightly, trying not to make too much noise, Chu Yue walked forward slowly.Most of the cells on both sides are empty. The ice prison is very large, but there are very few people. Not many people are worthy of being locked up here.

Occasionally, someone would sit in it, but it would also be a dull image, not paying any attention to what happened outside, even motionless, not knowing whether to live or die.

Chu Yue was secretly startled, could it be that Yan Huaifeng also——

Finally in a huge ice room, he saw Yan Huaifeng.

For many years after that, whenever Chu Yue recalled this encounter, he would still be moved for no reason, just because he had never seen such a young master.

In the previous life, the Yan Huaifeng in his eyes was arrogant and arbitrary, perhaps because of preconceived ideas, he never felt that that person would be merciful, let alone trust, which directly led to the tragedy.

In this life, his impression of Yan Huaifeng was still that of the boy who had just turned seventeen, who proudly raised his chin with a fan and asked him to go to Ghost Valley without any explanation.

After three years, it turns out that they have all changed so much.

Everything in the ice room is very simple, a square table made of ice, two round stools made of ice, and an ice bed, nothing else.

Yan Huaifeng was dressed in a moon-white gown, lying on his side on the ice bed, with his eyes lightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The 20-year-old is much taller than before. Even if he is lying down, he can still be seen to be tall and slender, with even flesh and bones.

Perhaps it was because of the coldness of the ice bed, that sharp-edged face looked a little pale, the long eyebrows slanted into the temples, the long ink-like hair was scattered behind, and a few strands were wrapped around the neck, making him look like jade even more , Reflected on the ice, it looks like a banished fairy.

But it is not the femininity of a woman, and the rock is as independent as a lone pine.

Chu Yue didn't know what words to use to describe it. When he was in a daze, Yan Huaifeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he felt someone coming, and finally opened his eyes slowly.
