Immortal Formula

   Chapter 667 Great Calamity

While Gu Yan was chatting with Ge Gen and his wife, Du Fanghuan and Xiao Qingyang were standing in an ice room in the apse of the Xiaobing Palace. Among the four palace masters, the one sitting in the middle is the grand palace master Jiang Siyun. She looks like a middle-aged woman, with a slight wrinkle in the corner of her eyes, she seems to be unable to help the splendor of the years. Slightly behind her are the other three deputy palace masters, and at this moment, their faces do not seem to be very happy.

After a long while, sitting on the side, a young girl wearing a red palace uniform said: "Fang Huan, you can see clearly, that female cultivator surnamed Gu, she really wore the Xuanwu turtle shell. brought it?"

Du Fanghuan nodded, "I can see it very clearly. The leather bag was originally sewn by me, and its appearance has not changed. Although the tortoise shell inside has been invaded by years and looks a little worn, it is true It is undoubtedly the tortoise shell of our Little Ice Palace back then."

Jiang Siyun said softly: "Sanmei, since she dares to bring something, she must be right, otherwise, she will not come to us to make trouble. Speaking of which, I am negligent about this matter, and I am also waiting for Fang Huan to leave. , only then did I know that Dafang has not only been around for the past few years, but also joined Qianjingdao's door, worshipped that old monster as a teacher, and dominated one side. If I had known, I would not have sent Fanghuan to this matter."

The woman who was called Sanmei had a trace of hatred in her eyes, "I lent this treasure to Dafang back then, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious. Fortunately, the friend I asked for didn't go there for some reason, otherwise If he is to be dragged into this turmoil for no reason, then it is truly irredeemable."

Jiang Siyun shook her hand lightly, "It's nothing, Fang Huan once agreed to pay her, this is also an ordinary thing, in my Xiaobing Palace, I always have rules when speaking and doing things, and I will never rely on other people's things. It is a reward with a generous amount of money. If that's all, I will give a generous gift back and ask her to leave."

The woman in red said: "Eldest sister! Didn't you hear what Qing Yang said, that woman has a treasure of controlling fire in her hand, and she even has a congenital fire spirit. When she came to our Xiaobing Palace at this time, it was not the heaven. A gift for us, why not ask her to help?"

Jiang Siyun's complexion changed several times before she said, "Although your words are reasonable, our Xiaobing Palace has been established here for thousands of years, and it has been established here for thousands of years. , can't be broken by my hands. Besides, this palace suffered this catastrophe, if it is really doomed, it is also a fate, why should it drag others into the water?"

   The woman in red said anxiously: "Eldest sister, how come you are like the monks in Yuntai, opening your mouth is fate, closing your mouth is the law, this is the power of heaven and cannot be resisted, but can't we find a way out from it?"

Jiang Siyun said lightly: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more, go back and get my ice mother Yuanzhu, give her a box, and send her away as a gift. I heard that her disciple has parents who were with me when I was young. The officers in the Ice Palace will also be taken with you. In two more days, when all the disciples have gathered, I will ring the Xuan Bing Gao, please everyone spread out."

   The woman in red exclaimed, "Eldest sister, what about you?"

  Jiang Si Yun said: "I was brought here by my master when I was a child. I have never left the Little Ice Palace in my whole life. Naturally, I should live and die together with the Little Ice Palace."

  The three women sitting side by side, including Du Fanghuan and Xiao Qingyang, exclaimed at the same time, but Jiang Siyun closed his eyes slightly, obviously not wanting to say anything.

   She has been in charge of Xiaobing Palace for more than a thousand years, and her prestige is so high that no one dares to speak with her. Everyone looked at each other and could only quietly withdraw.

  The girl in red stomped her feet and said to a woman in a light green light shirt beside her, "Second sister, are you just watching the eldest sister so stubborn?"

   The woman in green smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister's temper has always been like this, what can I do? Besides, isn't it inconclusive now, who says we can't do anything about it?"

   The girl in red paused and said, "Didn't you listen to what Big Sister said today, it's like arranging things behind you, no, I'm going to find that surnamed Gu, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up at this time!"

   Another unspoken woman grabbed her and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Don't you know about the eldest sister's temper? How can others doubt her decision?"

   The girl in red said angrily, "This won't work either, that won't work either, but what should I do?"

The green-clothed woman sighed: "Anyway, isn't the time coming, let's take a look first, didn't the eldest sister say that she wants to pay her with the box of ice mother Yuanzhu that she has hidden, you will postpone this matter for a while. drag."

   Xiao Qingyang responded with a sound and took the order to leave.

When Ge Gen heard Gu Yan's question, he glanced at Bi Luo hesitantly. Bi Luo said angrily, "Fairy Gu asked, is there anything else I can't say?" She patted Ge Gen on the shoulder and said generously. : "In this Xiaobing Palace, there is a deacon of the law, who once stayed at Zhuzi Island and had some friendship with me. My husband and I came here to defect and were taken in by her. These years have been safe, but this year, Xiaobing has The situation in the palace is a bit strange."

   Gu Yan asked, "Where is the weirdness?"

Biluo replied: "On the ten thousand-mile glacier, the cold air is extremely heavy. Only in five, six, seven, or three months, when the sun shines directly, will most of the icebergs melt and open a passage. But this year, when the icebergs melt, It's more than ten days later than usual. And the coldness hasn't subsided much, but it's getting colder. Even those of us who are used to staying here can't bear it."

Gu Yan nodded. When she came to the glacier, she felt that the coldness here was far beyond what ordinary people could withstand. The people in the ice palace.

Biluo smiled bitterly: "In this little ice palace, it's better, as long as we go out, the cold is so cold that it's hard for us ordinary foundation-building cultivators to bear it, so even if we know that Ling'er is coming, we don't dare to. Go out to meet you."

  Ge Ling opened his big eyes and said curiously, "Why didn't my parents tell me about these things? I didn't feel the coldness when I came here."

  Gu Yan tapped her on the head, "You are born with a Yin-spirit body, and you once had nine yin extremities in your body. These cold air are nothing to you. How can ordinary people compare to you?"

  Ge Ling unhappily rubbed the forehead that Gu Yan had knocked on, and hid to the side. Biluo said: "Therefore, there was a lot of discussion in the palace, but several palace masters began to retreat at this time, and even the law protectors and deacons rarely showed up, which is why everyone speculated. , It looks like something big has happened in the palace."

Gu Yan pondered: "Since there is an accident, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. I think it is meaningless for you to stay in the Little Ice Palace. Since there are changes here, why don't you come with me, go to my great wasteland, It's good to be a gatekeeper. Now that Linger's foundation stage has been completed, you don't have to worry about affecting her."

  Gegen hesitated, and did not answer yet. At this time, a very clear voice came from outside, and someone asked, "Is Fairy Gu here?"

   Gu Yan heard Xiao Qingyang's voice and couldn't help laughing: "You guys haven't decided yet, but some people probably can't wait."

   She came to Xiaobing Palace only as a guest, and did not need any place to entertain, so her answer was not enthusiastic, and she said, "Linger, please invite Miss Xiao to come in."

Ge Ling replied, she is a well-behaved person, only in front of Gu Yan and her parents, she may show a bit of naivety, but in front of outsiders, she is extremely dignified and decent, she lifted the curtain with her hand, nodded slightly, and said : "My master has invited me."

Xiao Qingyang smiled and stepped into the door, this time her expression was obviously much more enthusiastic than before, she took Ge Ling's hand and said with a smile, "Are you Ling'er, I only came on the day I first arrived. , I have seen you, and just now the palace master also explained that you are the disciple of Fairy Gu, you must treat guests well, which makes me a little uneasy, for fear that these days, I will neglect you."

  Ge Ling bowed slightly and said, "I don't dare to do it." Her tone was very calm, not because Ge Gen's father and daughter were here, she was not particularly enthusiastic about Xiao Qingyang.

Xiao Qingyang was stunned for a moment, she originally wanted to get in touch first, and then slowly express her intentions, but this time she was a little unable to speak, and after a moment of hesitation, she said: "I am here at the order of the palace master, It's just that Palace Master Jiang has recently retreated with several deputy palace masters to discuss important matters, and it is difficult to get out of it, so I want to leave Fairy Gu here, and I will thank her in person after she is done."

Gu Yan smiled and said: "Palace Jiang is too polite, I am here to visit old friends, and by the way, take back Miss Du's remuneration from me. If Palace Master Jiang has something important, you can do it, ignore me, and will come to the meeting. See you again."

Xiao Qingyang paused indifferently, and did not seem to have expected Gu Yan to speak so eloquently, and she did not hide her request for compensation, which made her unable to deal with it. After thinking about it, she said : "The palace lord promised to pay her a box of ice mother Yuanzhu, but this thing was kept under the Mysterious Ice of Ten Thousand Years. Except for the joint efforts of several palace lords, it could not be taken out, so I also invited the fairy here. It will take a few days, and the palace will be treated as a guest."

   Gu Yan said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Xiaobing Palace is frozen for thousands of miles, and the snow is white for thousands of miles. It is a unique shadow in the world. Come here to enjoy it for a few days, but it's better that you don't dislike it."

Seeing that she was finally relieved, Xiao Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The Palace Master has ordered me and Junior Sister Du to be dispatched. Brother Ge and his wife will no longer be assigned duties these days, but they will accompany them. Gu Xianzi is." After saying that, he saluted again, and then hurried away.

Gu Yan watched her back go away, her brows moved slightly, "Listening to her tone, it seems that something has really happened in this palace, but in Jiang Siyun's style, she shouldn't rely on my things, let's talk about them. It seems that you intend to keep me here, what do you mean?"

  Ge Ling frowned and said, "Look at the people here, all doing things in weird ways, father, mother, why don't we go back to the Great Wilderness, although it is desolate there, it is much safer than the Little Ice Palace."

   Ge Gen was a little hesitant, "When my mother and I came here, it was entirely up to your mother's elder to take care of it. Now if there is something wrong with Xiaobing Palace, we leave without taking care of us. Wouldn't it be too unjust?"

Bi Luo gently pulled his sleeve, "Husband is too worried, we are not from Xiao Bing Palace, this time Ling'er came to visit relatives and brought a lot of gifts, it is also considered our friendship, if Farewell, no one can say anything, everything is arranged by Fairy Gu."

   Ge Gen also wanted to get along with his daughter, but after listening to his wife's words, he couldn't say anything, just looked at Gu Yan with his eyes.

   Gu Yan was a little hesitant in her heart. After listening to Xiao Qingyang's words, she couldn't help but feel a little moved about the box of ice mother Yuanzhu.

  When Du Que, the owner of Xiuning Island, took out the Xuanjing in the Heaven Pavilion, every one of the sea mother pearls that he took out could be worth the calamity of a cultivator. The ice mother pearl is different from the ordinary sea mother pearl. It is condensed by the deep cold air under the mysterious ice of ten thousand years. It can not only be used as a defense against doom, but also in alchemy. Unique. So she was a little bit indecisive for a while.

At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly sounded in her heart. It was Ning Fengzi's weak voice. Ning Fengzi violently smashed Zhu Yanjing, and was shocked by the magical power of the Eight Desolate Layman, causing her spiritual body to be damaged. Recovering from injuries in the chaotic space, when he talks, he always looks like he is out of breath.

   "Hey, don't leave in a hurry!"

   Gu Yan smiled and said, "What's the matter with you, aren't you afraid of freezing you here?"

   When she came to Xiaobing Palace, for some reason, her mood became very peaceful. After escaping from the hands of the Eight Desolates, it was the first time she was in the mood to joke with Ning Fengzi.

But Ning Fengzi obviously didn't want to continue joking with her, she said in a weak voice: "Have you noticed, this place seems to be very helpful for cultivation, I think the speed of recovery here is faster than outside. many!"

   "Hmm..." Gu Yan tapped her forehead with her hand, "Is there something unique about this place under the glaciers?"

  Ning Fengzi shook his head, "I don't know, but I think you should also practice here for a few days, it will also be good for you."

Gu Yan thought for a while, and then said to Ge Ling: "Linger, go and tell that girl Xiao, and say that I like the scenery around Xiaobing Palace very much. ."

Although Ge Ling was a little puzzled, he still went out, and came back soon after, with a strange expression on his face: "That sister Xiao agreed very happily, and said that no matter how many days the master stays here, there will be no problem. ."

   Gu Yanqi said: "Then why are you in trouble?"

  Ge Ling said: "It's just that I just heard her say that because of something in the Xiaobing Palace, the palace gate seems to be banned for a few days..."

Ge Gen and Yunluo's faces changed. The Little Ice Palace only had five, six, or seven months a year. Due to the direct sunlight, the glaciers would melt for ten thousand years, and the ice crack would be opened. Within these three months, it was Let anyone come and go, and now the gate of the palace is to be banned. This is something that has never happened in Xiaobinggong for thousands of years.

  Gu Yan frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Ge Ling shook his head: "She refused to tell me, she only said that the short two or three days, the longest six or seven days, the palace gate will definitely be opened. Let me rest here, if you need anything, just go Find her and Du Fanghuan."

   Ge Gen and Yunluo both regretted at this time. If they agreed to leave earlier, everything would be over. Now don't trap their daughter and Gu Yan here. Gu Yan is free and easy, anyway, she also wants to hide here for a while, lest the Eight Desolate Layman speak up and trouble her again. He said, "If that's the case, I'll stay here for a while. I'll go to that palace. Ling'er, you and your parents, reunite for a while longer."

  Ge Ling bowed in response, and Gu Yan went to the side hall on the left to rest.

The place where they are located is an independent palace. The main hall is usually a place of worship, not for people to live in. Ge Ling and his parents live in the side hall on the right, and the left hall is naturally Gu Yan's. Slowly opening the hall door, I found that it was empty, with only a few cases that seemed to be ice sculptures, plus a few futons.

   She touched it with her hand, and a cold air came over the top of the table. Although the tentacles of the futon were cold, after touching it for a long time, there was a warm air. I don't know what kind of grass it was made of.

At this time, Ning Fengzi said in a low voice: "This seems to be a ten thousand spirit herb, this kind of spirit grass has no spiritual energy and cannot be used as medicine, but it grows under the glacier of ten thousand years, and the cold air condenses to the extreme and produces warmth. It is quite effective for monks to calm their minds."

   Gu Yan said with a smile: "In this way, when you leave, you have to ask them for dozens of them."

  Ning Fengzi couldn't help laughing, "You said it lightly. I'm afraid there aren't too many such things in Xiaobing Palace. If you are willing to take a few out to entertain guests, it's also for your face."

  Gu Yan shrugged and suddenly said, "Fengzi, have you found out, since you came to Xiaobing Palace, I found that your temperament has become a lot calmer, and you no longer escape like before."

   "Yeah, really?" Ning Fengzi touched his nose, "It seems to be true, I also feel that after entering here, my mood involuntarily calms down, and I don't want to lose my temper."

  Gu Yan said: "Your spiritual body is damaged, so you can rest assured here to heal your wounds. The ice aura here is rich, and it must be beneficial to your natural spiritual body."

  Ning Fengzi nodded and went to meditate in the chaotic space to heal. And Gu Yan also sat down. What she was thinking at this time was that Xiao Binggong wanted to keep herself, and it didn't look like there was any malicious intent. She couldn't think of the real purpose.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Xiao Qingyang had come to ask her hello twice. There was a worried look between her brows, but Gu Yan asked her something, but she didn't say much, and she didn't say when the palace gate was. Only then can it be reopened, and Ge Gen and his wife clearly felt the tense atmosphere in Xiaobing Palace at this time. Some monks seem to have disappeared from the palace without a sound, and the remaining disciples are also running around. Those monks who have invested outside are all banned in this palace and are not allowed to go out. The whole Xiaobing Palace is filled with air. With a chilling breath. It made Gu Yan feel a little regretful, wondering if it was a good idea not to let Ge Ling take his parents away first.

   At this time, the ice room of the Little Ice Palace was plunged into a gloomy fog.

Jiang Siyun sat there quietly, without a word, on a throne carved out of mysterious ice and crystal clear like jade. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her lips were as pale as paper. A layer of frost was condensed on the top, and the Xiaobing Palace was already extremely cold, and from her body, a trace of cold was constantly radiating out, making people have to avoid her three. outside the husband.

   And Jiang Siyun's eyes were slightly closed. It seemed that in this short period of time, a layer of frost had formed on her eyebrows, and the whole person seemed to be covered by ice and snow.

Ning Zhilan, a green-clothed woman standing beside her, was the head of the three deputy palace masters. She had a worried look on her face and said, "Two days have passed, and the situation of the eldest sister has not improved at all. The day before yesterday You can still speak, but now you don't even have consciousness, and you freeze your entire body. How can it be good if it goes on like this?"

The girl in red, Luo Fu, is also one of the three deputy palace masters. At this time, she had a look of anger on her face and said, "Eldest sister is stubborn, she doesn't listen to my advice, she insists on going down to the Xuanbing Ruins alone. In the end, she was restrained by the iceberg, if we hadn't tried desperately to save her, she wouldn't be able to escape now!"

Ning Zhilan said: "Third sister, now is not the time to complain about people, let's hurry up and think of a way, this is not the way to go, the Xiaobing Palace has been closed for three consecutive days, and the disciples below are panicked, if this continues, I'm afraid Little Ice Palace wants people to be separated."

  Luofu snorted: "So what? I said long ago that those people who invest abroad are unreliable, and when disaster strikes, they will fly away. If they want to leave, let them die, so what?"

  Ning Zhilan wanted to say something, but after a pause, she was finally speechless. Although her third sister was open-mouthed, she was not a person without a target.

  Luofu added: "If you want to follow my idea, just go and find that woman for help. The big deal is to go back and accept her reward. There is a glimmer of hope, so why not give it a try?"

  Ning Zhilan said: "It's not that you don't know what the eldest sister thinks. You are the most stubborn. Since she doesn't allow it, do you really dare to screw her?"

At this time, Jiang Siyun, who was sitting like an ice sculpture, suddenly groaned. Her originally pale face was now shining with crystal brilliance, and it was as delicate as jade. Her brows moved slightly, and a layer of frost fell from her face. When she came down, the breath was very weak, and the voice could only be heard by a few people close to her.

   "Pass on my life, Xiaobing Palace will open its doors, if anyone is willing to leave, just let them go."

  Ning Zhilan got closer and said in a low voice, "Since that day, eldest sister, you returned from the Xuanbing Ruins, the Xiaobing Palace has been closed. If it were open, I don't know how many people would have to leave."

Jiang Siyun said a word, as if all her strength was exhausted, she took a few quick breaths, and then said: "Little Ice Palace is here to set up a palace, but it is just for the women in the world, looking for a sacrifice and refuge. So, now there will be great trouble here, and they can't be sheltered, so let them come and go."
