Chapter 234 The second, the third, the third, the rejection of the sea, the whale, the waves, the ice, the sky, the great medicine

Laigu said to Yi Jing: "This fellow Taoist is named Wushensou, and he is a life-and-death friend with Taoist fellow Huangfeng of the Arctic Sea. Although I have met for the first time, I heard from Laigu. When Master Tu Long was practicing in the ice ocean of the North Sea, Because the two fellow daoists were instigated by other evil spirits, they came to harass their master Qingxiu, they were captured in a fight, and they were locked by their masters. Fellow Daoist Huang Feng confessed his mistake at the time, and was let go by his master's words. Fellow Daoist Wu He was more upright and refused to admit defeat, so he ran away with a lock. Fellow Taoist Huang Feng changed his career and tried to be good. Putting down the butcher knife, the lock of mind has pierced the heart. Although there is a chance to be freed in the future, it will not work at this time. If you use my dragon knife to cut it, it will not work at the beginning, but if you do not practice before, once the lock is broken, the heart will turn into ashes. The body is also gone. I miss your loyalty as a friend, and I beg you again and again. I will pass on a spell to you. When your friend repents and asks for forgiveness, pass it on to him and ask him to recite it. It will have a magical effect at that time Fellow Daoist Wu has always been in the future, but Fellow Daoist Huang Feng will have the help of his family teacher in the future to avoid a catastrophe. Gu Gu said that if I have the opportunity to go to Beihai in the future, I can ask him to be a host.

"Because Hsiao Gu has always been cold-faced and doesn't like to talk, I suddenly brought up the things before I became a teacher. At that time, I planned to follow my teacher forever, and I would never suffer any disadvantages. I didn't think of switching to Emei's sect. She was vague and had no head. No ending, it was just a joke, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. The next day, I accidentally asked Taoist Huang Feng how to find the method, and she passed me two talismans. She said that this person is now hiding at the bottom of the frozen ocean, and he must be cunning beforehand. Enrage him, wait for him to chase after him, then send out a magic talisman to meet in the sea. Another magic talisman, it is said that it can enter and exit in real fire, but I have never tried it. The words of the year, I said it and put it aside. A few days ago, I went to Hongmuling to steal the sword, and the card given by the teacher in charge suddenly appeared. There were two lines at the end, so I briefly mentioned this matter. I didn't think about it. When I went to the sky above the frozen ocean, I saw the water flowing in the sea. I suddenly realized it and remembered the past. I also used the verse to show off the secret and silent words, and I used the iceberg to show off. As a result, the Taoist Huang Feng was attracted, and I thought it was a magic talisman. There must be a magical effect, but it was a secret signal. When Daoist Huang Feng saw it, he ordered the people who came with him to retreat and wait in the water. I went into the water to meet and talk, and then I realized that my teacher had already made plans for today's affairs.

"This fellow Wu Daoist escaped not long ago, so he went to the ancestor of the sky, trying to use the ancestor's magic power to remove the lock, but tried repeatedly to no avail. The ancestor followed the order of fellow Taoist Wu to defend in the Xuanming world. Entrusted by the great disciple Lingweisou, he was fooled by Zheng Yuangui, the evil long-armed demon Zheng Yuangui, who stole the elixir magic weapon and fled out of the world. The ancestor hated him for allowing the thief to escape, so he locked him here with the original lock Inside Xiaofeng Cave, suffering from wind, thunder and fire every day. Fellow Daoist Wu began to feel remorse. Fellow Daoist Huang Feng took the risk to persuade you because of his friendship, and passed on the family teacher's spell. After chanting the mantra, although it cannot be released, the wind, thunder and fire can no longer hurt, and the power of real fire can also be used to refine the lock of intention and avoid a lot of pain. The two Taoist friends both have internal alchemy and primordial spirit, and the nearby spirits and monsters are all They are all coveted, and have repeatedly slandered the master and apprentice of Xiangkong. If they have any suspicions, they will take them away. This group of evil spirits has quite magical powers and changes. Most of them are good at stealth, flying, and listening. This Aoji Cave is hidden deep in the ground, the surrounding ice walls are more than ten feet high, and it is blocked by the underworld and the magnetic source. , what a powerful elf and evil spirit, if you don’t follow the orders of the ancestors of the sky, you will never think about it. We are talking here, and we are not afraid to listen. I am also Huang Feng, a fellow Taoist, who confides secrets in detail. , because of this. Now I am entrusted by Taoist Huang Feng to help fellow Taoist Wu out of trouble, and to fulfill the long-awaited promise of the dragon-slaying master. There is about an hour of delay before I can get up. The sixth junior brother and the little monk are all very happy. Seeing that the two of us haven’t shown it for a long time, it’s hard to guarantee that we won’t be mischievous. Fellow Daoist Wu’s cave door can’t be opened all the time, and it’s closed urgently, without telling them. Please sister Yi go to the front, and send a voice through the cave, telling them that the area around the foot of the peak can be free. You, just wait until we go out and fly away from the ground, so as not to touch the forbidden net by mistake, alarm the enemy, and cause trouble. Wait a while after speaking, and if there is no movement from the people outside the cave, please come back. This is the right thing to do My sister is helping me a lot.”

Yi Jing saw that she was winking secretly when she said it, and hurried out in response.When walking, he saw the strange face of Wushen old man, full of surprises.After giving instructions to the crowd through the cave door, after a while, I heard Lai Gu calling her sister, went back to the small room and saw that old man Wushen was no longer there, but there were deep burn marks on the ground, winding like The belt, about several feet long, is known to be the imprint of the iron chain on Wushensou's body.Asked with a smile: "Is it over?" Lai Gu said: "Yi Suo was passed down by the master's talisman and met my dragon-slaying knife, and it turned into nothingness. It's just that Fellow Daoist Wu still suffers from the wind and thunder of the empty ancestor Forbidden, the body is covered with an invisible wishful net, and it cannot be broken by non-Muni Scattering Light Pills. Now Fellow Daoist Wu has gone to another room to prepare, and I still have to rely on my sister's magic weapon." Yi Jing nodded, and quietly asked: "What is it? Since this Taoist friend has the order of Master Tu Long, he considers himself the beauty of a human being, and a scatter-light pill is nothing to cherish. It's just that we have something to ask for, and before we reach it, we break his forbidden law and let the forbidden person go. We ask for it Isn't the elixir more difficult?"

Lai Gu said: "This is not the case. Fellow Daoist Wu was banned here only because of the momentary anger of ancestor Zhakong, not from his original intentions. Afterwards, he realized that Fellow Daoist Wu was entrusted by his eldest disciple Lingwei old man, how dare he offend You can’t blame him. I have dealt with it too much, and I have regretted it early. Wu Ru didn’t expect that the magic weapon refined by the teacher would be in harmony with each other. , suddenly thought of the unfair treatment, the crime does not end here. This sacred peak has an important relationship. In the past, the doormen were on duty, and they were often restricted by strict restrictions, so that outsiders could not enter without permission. It is also extremely difficult to blow up. The nearby demons and ghosts are all their own eyes and ears. As long as outsiders enter the country, they will immediately notice it, or they will form a group to block it, or follow it to spy on the movement. The enemy is so secretive and powerful, and there is nothing they can do. So. Careless and negligent, he sneaked to the Middle Earth to play by taking turns. He did not change his behavior after repeated warnings. He felt that it was something to worry about. For this reason, he practiced a spell and protected this peak. I will never go in, and I don't need to order people to defend. However, there are seventy-two flag gates in this formation, which have been practiced for many years, and it will take a year to complete. It is really easy to use this person to sit there all year round. Many. And fellow Daoist Wu was trapped by the mind lock, so he just borrowed it. He took the longevity treasure chain refined from the essence of cold iron for thousands of years under the sea, and connected it to the lock to prevent him from escaping. , you can still fly out of the cave to fight, and you can come and go as you please within a hundred miles from the cave. This chain is made of flexible steel, and it has been tempered by spells for a long time, so it cannot be seen by the naked eye. Once bound, it will be restrained for life. Liberation is an invisible treasure, but after receiving the reaction of the Dharma, once it is connected, the original essence will suddenly appear, which is very heavy. If the mind can't hold it for a while, it will burn itself with fire. In this way, even the ancestor of Zikong Unable to untie it. Knowing that it is self-defeating, there is nothing I can do. On the one hand, I keep Wu Daoist to stay in the town, on the other hand, I prevent him from holding grudges, destroying the source of fire, and adding the wind and thunder prohibition, so that he does not dare to act rashly. Usually, he comforts him with kind words It is said that it is the key to getting out of trouble, and it is all about the lock. As long as you work hard, it will be gone when the time comes, and it is promised that as long as you don't give birth to a rebellious heart, when you break these three magic weapons, you can get out of trouble. Leave. But before leaving, you must activate the signal prepared here, so that you can order someone to take over, without any scruples. If we destroy this treasure, it doesn't matter if Old Ancestor Zikong knows. What's more, Fellow Daoist Wu didn't offend Zikong At the time of Patriarch Kong, Patriarch Zakong once interceded on behalf of him. His family teacher told him that the time had not yet come. When the time came, he would see the Daoist friend and ordered someone to come here to break the lock and release him. Daoist friend should not be hesitant. The two parties had a previous agreement. .Although Friends Wudao is out of trouble now, unless we can't get the medicine, if we need his help, we have to wait until we get the medicine, return to this place, and then send a signal to the empty island, and follow the preface before we leave. To the Middle Earth. What's the problem if you don't recite his words?"

"However, that old man Lingwei has practiced Taoism for many years in vain. He only likes to be a good person and has contacts with the leaders of different sects. He also likes to indulge his son and apprentice to make trouble everywhere. His precious fool is named Lingqi. Wandering in Hengshan, I met He Mei and Cui Qi on the road. At that time, He and Cui had not switched to the sect. This idiot didn't even think about where it was, and he fell in love with Junior Sister Cui. The two sides turned their faces and fought each other. Victory. He was seen by the second senior brother Yue Wen on the top of Mount Heng, and came to help him and defeated him. If it wasn't for the demon Zheng Yuangui who rescued him, he would have been almost beheaded by a flying sword. But he was infatuated with love, and his heart would never die. He would love Junior Sister Cui, From time to time, secretly followed, all because there were people in the same company, and they did not dare to show up to hook up, just one-sided lovesickness. Later, the old man found out, because he knew that Grandma Jin was not easy to mess with, how could her female disciple marry? He had to force the fool to Jinyun In the fairy cave of Fenghe Shiya, he was punished to face the wall for three years, restraining his evil intentions, and begged to be released after the expiration of the period. Not long after, this idiot met He and Cui's second junior sister on Xianxia Valley Road, and reminded him of his previous thoughts. This time, I don't know what kind of muddleheaded thoughts I had, so I switched to soft skills instead of using force, and knelt down in front of Junior Sister Cui, and said a lot of shameless nonsense. Said that he knew his sins and had no evil intentions, and only wanted to be a friend. We often go back together, depending on your beauty, and your wish is fulfilled. If you refuse to meet again, please give me a sword, willing to die in the hands of your sweetheart, and never fight back. Junior sister Cui was also moved by his bitter tricks, and she didn't have the nerve to hurt him. Also, neither the flying sword nor the mana is the enemy, and they are in a difficult situation. Just when the Shi family sisters from Wudang Mountain flew over, Junior Sister He said: "This is the person I met in Hengshan." The Shi family sisters are really angry. After listening to the following, he let go of the flying sword. He and Junior Sister Cui couldn't just stand by when the trouble was too much, and the four of them beat him together, and finally Shi Yuzhu used half of the old nun's new Green Ox Sword to cut off his arm. Junior Sister Cui thought he was infatuated, He tried his best to persuade him, saying that this person has no serious evil and is not evil, so he let him go. Old man Lingwei begged for the elixir from the ancestor of Xiangkong on his behalf, but the ancestor of Zakong refused, so he had to ask Zheng Yuangui for him The elixir stolen from Xingkong Island. Just when a group of evil spirits attacked the Emei Immortal Mansion and forced him to help. In the first moment, Master Yi shouted at him and gave him a elixir to save his son's arm. Unexpectedly Recently, Lingqi heard that Junior Sister Cui had joined the sect, and he became more and more desperate. After being frustrated, he went to visit friends in the Little Antarctic Bright Realm. On the way back, he passed by Forty-seven Island, and was spotted by a banshee, who turned him into a girl. Heat. Fighting with others for three or four days and nights, in the end the enemy was seriously wounded and died for him, and he also consumed a lot of energy. The old guy has a deep love for the calf, so he went to look for Master Yi to get the elixir. On the way, he met Taoist Bai Qin. We have known each other for a long time, and we met again when we opened the mansion. The old guy is humble when he sees people, he is used to the courtesy of the younger generation, and he is willing to admit his mistakes, so when he helped the monsters attack Emei last time, when he opened the mansion, he was old enough to replace Nai Shizhi He Guanli, no one cares about him. He knew that Master Gongye's magical power is profound and mysterious, so he told his intentions and asked about Master Yi's whereabouts after Tongyao Island. After Master Gongye said it, he knew that Master Yi's existing spirit The medicine was still made before the catastrophe, and there were not many of them at all, because he was generous and responsive to the younger generation's requests. There were only a few pills left when he was given to him last time. Now the husband and wife are reconciled, because Fairy Han wants to reconcile his body. Use it, plan to refine it again, but it is difficult to collect all the medicines, and it is notAll that can be refined in a short period of time is given to Fairy Han.The disciples of Emei were ordered to go down the mountain to walk the road, the future is very dangerous and dangerous, the function of this pill can be prepared for emergencies, it is the most useful, even the elders of Emei know how much Fairy Han needs it, so they are not willing to take it.Lingwei old man got one last time, how can he ask for more?Moreover, Master Yi and Fairy Han are fighting with the monster, their whereabouts are uncertain, and they can't be found even if they go there.Old man Lingwei, because he heard Master Gongye talk about the same effect of the inner alchemy refined by Taoism and the inner alchemy cultivated by other kinds, and thought of fellow Taoist Wu, he came to beg twice in a row recently. intimidation.If Fellow Daoist Wu agrees, it will cost him a year of work, so naturally he won't allow it.Yesterday he left angrily, expecting him to come again.He originally wanted to coerce him, but if he saw that the master's magic weapon had been broken, it was hard not to use this threat to cause side issues, or even go back to the island to report and spread rumors.Although Fellow Daoist Wu is out of trouble, with his supernatural powers, he is not afraid of the old guy's murder, but it will hinder us in getting the medicine.In order to prevent him from going back and forth, and coming back three times, it is best to get the elixir before his future, and it will be fine. "

Yi Jing replied: "I have met old man Lingwei once, and it is not unreasonable. He left in anger a few days ago, and he must see that Fellow Daoist Wu refused to accept the invitation, and went to try elsewhere. There is probably nowhere to ask, and then he will come again. But come again three times, you must use force, and you will not be good unless you get it. This person is the successor of the old ancestor, the disciple of the long door. Back then, as soon as the master entered the Tao, he followed each other, shared adversity, passed from death to life Dozens of times, but today. The mana is quite high, and many of the master's magic weapons are in his hands. Fellow Wu Daoist must be careful." Lai Gu said: "This level of Daoist Wu has already thought of it, but fortunately, the prohibition has been lifted. Go, Feidun's changes are extremely fast, and he will never be trapped by him. I heard that his idiot also has some tricks." Yi Jing said: "I have also heard people say that Ling Qi was originally the Eastern Sea Sanxian Yu Shaogong Under the sect, what I have learned is not a cult, and I have never heard of any evil deeds. He and Junior Sister Cui are not destined to have a bad relationship. There must be a long-standing cause. As long as he can really be consistent in his words and deeds, he is not as lustful as the world, and he has lustful thoughts. , Junior Sister Cui became friends with other people, why not? You laugh at him as stupid, but I think he is pitifully stupid, beyond compare. So infatuated, why bother to let down, love becomes hatred, and firmly refuses to be thousands of miles away? Another day Going back, when I see Junior Sister Cui, I will persuade her in detail to make her bow down and become a close friend, what do you think?" Lai Gu laughed and said, "I never imagined that Senior Sister Yi is usually so iron-faced and steel-framed, that there will be such a class. A bodhisattva who saves sufferings and disasters. It's a pity that this guy is not here, otherwise he will be heard, and it will be strange not to regard you as a lifesaver."

The two were chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard moaning from behind.Linggu said: "Fellow Daoist Wu has held the family-teacher talisman for many years, and his work is almost finished. Now use the power of wind and fire to get rid of the original body. Listen to the groaning behind, and the Nascent Soul has already left the body. We don't have to wait any longer, yes. It's time." After saying that, the two walked together to another larger stone room.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the green and red smoke flickering under the inner wall, and a round hole appeared on the entire stone wall.The two stepped in from the cave, and after walking through a winding corridor, a stone chamber tens of feet in size suddenly appeared in front of them.The room is oblong in shape, with a round hole in the middle, only about Zhang Zhang in size. The roof of the room is very high, wide at the bottom, narrow at the top, and gets smaller as it goes up.The round hole below is misty, with faint smoke and unfathomable depths.The blue mist is as light as light silk, floating upwards, and the lower part is slow and quiet, floating upwards.As soon as he came out of the hole, his momentum changed rapidly, he stuck to the edge of the hole, made a circle and shot towards the top.The center is empty, and it looks like a gauze clock as thin as onion's wings, tightly covered in the round hole.The two of them knew that this was the place where the divine fire originated, and the blue smoke from the top of the peak spewed out from here.

Shi heard the sound of groans, which also came from the smoke hole, but he couldn't see the old man Wushen.I thought: "The divine fire in the cave is very powerful, and it is difficult to stay in the eye of the fire even if you have a lot of magic power. Wushensou's Nascent Soul can't help it, so it shouldn't be in the fire. But the sound of groaning is clearly here again. Inside the stone room." Fang was thinking about checking, and the sound of groaning came from the ground in front of the fire cave again.After a while, it suddenly turned loud and sharp, and the sound was like a cow roaring.When the two of them observed carefully, the ground seemed to be made of steel, and it was one piece, extremely solid.Just facing the front of the fire hole, there is a round shadow about the size of Zhang Xu, with a faint brilliance.Only then did I realize that it was the forbidden place of Wushensou; I decided that I would leave soon, so everyone should pay attention to preparations.

Just as Yi Jing took out the talisman, the brilliance flickered in the round shadow, dazzling and radiant, and then a gray-white brilliance burst out of the hole, rising slowly from the hole.Wu Shensou clasped his palms together, sat cross-legged on it, his eyes drooped, and the jade chopsticks between his nose drooped, and a black gas spewed out from his mouth, enveloping his whole body, his expression seemed to have melted away.When it reached the ground and stopped, there was a flash of light in the round shadow, and then it returned to its original shape.Wushensou was still embraced by the gray and white brilliance, sitting in the circle.Laigu hurriedly shouted: "Wu Daoist Yuan Ying was blocked by the invisible net, and couldn't get out of his body. Sister Yi, hurry up!" Yi Jing heard this, and sent out a Muni Scattering Light Pill in her hand.Therefore, the power of the treasure is very powerful, fearing that the dharma body of the Wushensou will be destroyed by the earthquake, so he is very careful when releasing it.Using Xuan Gong, designate that bean-sized grain of precious light, and slowly fly to the head of the old man of the black god, slightly touching the gray-white brilliance, it turns into a rain of light and bursts.Although that power is only one-tenth of what it normally uses against the enemy, it is already astonishing, as soon as there is a light thunder, the gray-white brilliance first shatters.At the same time, countless inches of broken colored threads flew out of the black air emitted by the light rain, and the black air also swayed twice.Wushen old man hurriedly sucked it back into his mouth, his eyes were all gone.The two saw that the black energy was transformed by Wushensou's inner alchemy, and the tens of thousands of colored silks were invisible nets, which had been blown up and wiped out by the Scattering Light Pill.It is expected that Wushensou knew the power of this treasure, so he used the vital energy of the inner alchemy to turn it into black energy and spray it out, forcefully propping up the invisible net outside the body, protecting the outside of the body tightly, so as not to destroy the dharma body together.

Just as he was about to wait for the baby to come out, he suddenly heard Wushen old man whispering in the door of life: "Two benefactors, please sit down in the original room. The old man will come to thank you in a while." The second daughter knew that the baby was just born, and she didn't want to see each other naked. Return to the original sitting room.Just after sitting down and talking a few words, Wushensou Yuanying had already reached the end of the road, walked out of his body, and thanked the two of them as soon as he entered the door.The two saw that he was only one-third shorter than the original body, except that he was full of vigor, energetic, not stooped, and much younger, everything was similar to the original body.It still has a protruding forehead and wide cheekbones, with a notch that lifts the lips; the beard is thick and hard like a halberd;His figure is not much taller than ordinary people, but he is bloated and fat, which looks very ugly.Busy with the salute to congratulate. Wushensou said: "Because of the power of the Muni Scattering Light Pill, it doesn't matter if I destroy my original body. I'm afraid that my soul will also be affected, but I can't get out of my body because of this. The dense net of Yi Daoyou propped itself open, and it took a lot of effort to cover my body. I was still afraid, this matter was too dangerous. If it can be sent out but cannot be received, it will be consumed after a long time. Even if the two Taoist friends ask the immortal masters for help, the Nascent Soul will be out of the body, and it will not be closed. At least three hundred years of skill will be destroyed. Destroyed. Unexpectedly, the magic power of Taoist friends is so strong, and this treasure is so miraculous. The power depends on the heart. The net is formed by the five elements of true energy. Before it was destroyed, it was invisible. It burst, and it was completely destroyed immediately. I recovered my vitality quickly, without any loss, which was unexpected, thank you very much. I feel that the explosion sound of the Scattering Light Pill is very dense, and only two or three points are hit on the body, that's it, The vitality outside the body has been almost shaken by it, the power of this treasure can be imagined." Lai Gu smiled and said: "Your business is over. How can we get rid of the obstacles of two layers of prohibition in the future and a layer of Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, and cross this Tieshan Ridge?" Wushen old man hurriedly replied: "Everyone Fellow Daoist, the matter of crossing the mountain is naturally covered by the old man. If it is not possible, at most a detour of thousands of miles, meeting with Fellow Daoist Huang Feng, and walking under the icy sea, you can also reach it. Fellow Daoist, just rest assured. It is the ten thousand years that Fellow Daoist wants The island lord and the real person Miaoyi have been in contact with each other, so they can get it. It’s not like Zheng Yuangui, the evil long-armed god and demon, stole a large gourd of medicine when he escaped last time, and there is not much left. It is said that the island lord There will be catastrophes in the near future, so I have to save them for later use. Lingwei old man begged twice, one blamed him for conniving evildoers, and he didn't know about it; half of it was because there were not many elixir. Years of hard work, because of the lack of emergency. Zheng Yuangui is worshiped under the sect of the five poisonous kings, Lie Ba Duo. Although he is vicious, disaster and catastrophe are coming for the island owner. He lives in seclusion. It is inevitable. How can he go tens of thousands of miles away to seek revenge and make enemies? After thinking about it, I had too many scruples. I had no choice but to hold back my anger. It took only a few days of hard work to display my supernatural powers, and the magic weapon stolen by the evildoers was chosen. I have been living in the North Pole for too long. People who are prepared for danger in times of peace, plan far-sightedness, and know how much mana is powerful can only deduce a rough idea of ​​their own disasters and catastrophes. , occur unconsciously, often by a tiny bit, and by thousands of miles. The limitation of fixed numbers cannot be avoided by manpower. It is not for nothing that human determination can overcome the sky, but one must have accumulated great merits and virtues and have extremely high magic power. As well as the help of friends with good fortune and good fortune, there is hope. The island owner has always avoided socializing with outsiders easily. For this reason, not only did he not pursue the evildoers to question the crimes, but he felt that the breeze was blowing at the end of the day. Even this time when Emei was opened, and Miao Yi was invited to watch the ceremony, he only ordered Ling Wei to congratulate him on his behalf, but he never went. His elixir is not given to his direct disciples, let alone outsiders? I think this is very difficult. The two fellow Taoists have wisdom pearls in their hands, and they need to make up their minds in advance before they can move forward." Although the two knew about Zheng Yuangui's betrayal of his teacher and the theft of treasures, they didn't know that they had stolen so much and the owner had very little left.If you refuse politely, although the two parties have no friendship, they have never held any grudges against each other. The government was recently opened and even invited to watch the ceremony. .Can't help but look at each other and hesitate.Seeing the two daughters' embarrassment, the old man Wushen said, "Although the ancestor Zhakong has great magic power, he is an outsider. This time, Master Miaoyi invited him to watch the ceremony. Hearing the tone of old man Lingwei, his master and apprentice felt that Master Miaoyi was right. He valued it and was quite proud of it. The Taoist friend went, I'm afraid he would say that he was in a trance, and avoided seeing it. If he could manage to see him, he used to be very affectionate, and his sex was very high. The elixir was stolen, and the remaining medicine It is a disgrace to save it for later use. Ten Thousand Years of Diarrhea and Lingyu Ointment, and he is the only one who refines the elixir, and he is well-known outside. If he blatantly refuses, it will be inconvenient. The matter is not completely hopeless. I said plan in advance, I ask the two fellow Taoists to think about retreating when they go, and if they are predicted to come later, set up a thank you, and use some method to meet him. As long as you can see him in person, you will probably have hope." Yi Jing said: "We came together ten times People, if you ask yourself that your strength is not weak, it would be easy to be an enemy. When you opened the mansion before your birthday, you invited him, but if your strength is not good enough, it will be difficult. Do you have any advice?" Wu Shensao said: "Trapped The crystal palace on the empty island lives deep in the bottom of the sea. After hundreds of years of use of mana and bleak management by him, it is as strong as Qianxun stainless steel. Around the palace, there are cold flames and cold iron, sea air and black ice, and aurora magnetism. It is like an ambush, magical and powerful, once the palace gate is closed, no matter how powerful the magic power is, it is difficult to break in. As far as I know, there are only two people in his life who can restrain him: one is Wushan Shenyangfeng Dafang Dafang real god camel Yixiu, One is a young man in Tiangan Mountain, three thousand miles away to the northwest. These two people, one is an enemy before being a friend, and the acquaintance was fought by the enemy; The more you speak, the more you listen. I heard that Emei opened a mansion, and many immortals at home and abroad are invited, and there are many uninvited guests. These two scattered immortals are not ordinary people, and they are not first-class evil spirits. There is no reason not to invite them. There must be some acquaintance. Fellow Taoists, if you don’t see each other when you arrive, just find one of these two senior Loose Immortals, and your wish will be fulfilled.” When Lai Gu heard this, she thought about the little boy in Tiangan Mountain. She was expected, and he is also a good friend of Master Dragon Slayer. She only asked him to help him, and she felt relieved. I'm worried. You just tell us the path, so we can go." Wushensou said: "The Xuanming Realm is originally a long ice field. Since the unprecedented earthquake occurred in the North Pole three thousand years ago, the old ancestor of the sky accidentally Discovered that the magnetic light of the North Pole is changing and supernatural. There are dark red stripes in the light, which flicker like electricity and make the sound of thunder and thunder. After calculating the mystery, we know that the vastness of the ice sheet has never disappeared since the beginning of time. In a hundred years, there have been seventy-two huge earthquakes. With each earthquake, the terrain will change, and each time will be more violent, and the ice and snow will be melted by hundreds of feet of underground fire. At the end of the last time, there are more people in the world, and it is difficult to find The place of birth, this sacred peak is about to collapse, and the fire source will surge up, and the vast ice sheet with a radius of millions of miles, except for the highest point of the Northwest Mountain, will melt together and cause a flood. The sea and land in the nearby Arctic will be affected. The rivers, lakes, rivers and seas in Yunei also rose together, but there were fewer disasters. It seems that after a period of sixty years, according to the terrain, the mountains, forests, rivers, and water and land areas are distinguished, and then humans will open up this boundless fertile land. , Infinitely beneficial to provide for the needs of food, clothing and life. This is originally a benevolent love from the heart of heaven, and it is a decree. It looks like a catastrophe, but it will actually benefit mankind in the future. Now that the 71st earthquake is coming, although the ice desert is cold and desolate, human beings It doesn't matter how many disasters there are. But the territory is vast, and there are many creatures other than humans, as well as aquatic shellfish that live in the ice sea. What's more, it is near the empty island, surrounded by icebergs and snow peaks, and the weather is extremely cold. It is a pity to destroy the fairyland. I am afraid that the earthquake will be too violent, and even the crystal palace under the empty island will be affected. This kind of great change initiated from the sky and the axis of the earth cannot be stopped by the magic power of the island owner. He After thinking about it for a few days, he finally invited the boy from Tiangan Mountain to revise the seal together, begging for the lives of millions of sentient beings in the North Pole, begging for God's blessing, and allowing them to use their magic power to eliminate the catastrophe. A few months before the earthquake, on the one hand, the source of the fire here was enlarged first, and the momentum of the ground fire was vented first, so as not to be silent, and suddenly erupted out of control; First use mana to break through the earth's veins, break them into pieces, turn the big into small, draw from the bottom of the pot, and vent the earth's energy first." "It lasted forty-nine days in a row. At that time, there were more than 380 earthquakes in the entire North Pole. The ice and snow fell all day long, and the earth screamed at the mountains. The shock made people dizzy and frightened. It went straight up to a thousand feet, flying all over the sky, and none of the fairy birds and spirit birds could fly across. Discharge seven or eight out of ten of the momentum, only the original one or two floors still have such power. If you hear it spontaneously when it arrives, you don't know what a terrible scene it is. It seems that it has been shaken for seven days and seven nights before staying, and the terrain has completely changed Needless to say, the ice and snow melted like thousands of feet. In order to preserve the beauty of Xiuqiongyuan on the empty island, the two of them used all their magical powers to prevent the aftermath of the earthquake from reaching the north of the world. On the one hand, they shifted the lungs and caused the source of the earthquake to go to the east and west. The cold area passed by. Under the shock of the sky, he fought against the sky-shattering ice and snow, the emptying cold waves, and the fierce wind and fire. After more than ten days of hard stalemate, he restrained the immeasurable shattered ice and avalanche in one place, condensed Such a 3,600-mile-long Tieshan Ridge stretches across the Xuanming Realm, so that the beauty of the island with a radius of more than 1,000 miles has not been harmed. If it is not out of selfishness, if you want to preserve the island palace and fairy mansion, is it right? All for the sake of living beings, the merits and virtues are so great that they are already incalculable. How severe disasters and calamities will be in the future, they will turn into peace, so there is no need to be afraid. It is a pity that he didn't think about this at first, and spent dozens of days in vain. If the palace is safe and the fairyland on Xiuqiong Plain is as good as before, it will not be of much benefit in the future." "After a few years, I calculated that the catastrophe is coming from the static experience. Thinking of the past, the good opportunity was missed, it became useless, and there was no regret. Seeing that the sect was in private with the evil spirits of the alien sect, the forbidden net only In the end, if you walk, you can cross it, and there is no guarantee that you will not hide the crisis. So the restriction on the Xuanming world was changed into upper and lower layers, and it is difficult for visitors to pass no matter whether they walk or fly over. , everyone in the island palace immediately became alert. He did not appear to be an enemy, but sent a signal to the nearby islands and icebergs to attack together. He is proud of his service, and he is so fierce that he cannot be insulted. If you want to pass in the clear, unless you go to the front of the ridge, piously and sincerely, and ask for his intentions, you can pass safely with his permission; However, I will be politely declined, and it will be difficult to enter the country. If the intention of coming is found out, the meeting will be impossible. Originally, there was nothing I could do, but it happened that the Lingwei old man was usually a good person and had nothing to do in his spare time, so he often came to visit each other. Counting Years ago, because his beloved son Lingqi went down the mountain and often made enemies outside and caused troubles, he could not go out from the island often. He has a strong nature, and if there is trouble, he will definitely look for him; even if he has nothing to do, he has not seen his father for a long time, and he misses him very much. On an island, those who have a master are willing to extend the payment, but Naizi loves himself and does not want to be with evil spirits. The iron mountain is blocked, and there is still a long way to go to the empty island. Don't say that you can't fly across, and you can't even get information. Often in I wandered between the ice and snow banks for many days, and I couldn't do anything private. Although there was a signal here, his son had also been here in recent years, but he only stayed here, and it was okay to wait for his father, but the signal could not be sent out indiscriminately. Once, Lingqi has been here for more than a month, but he still lives in this cave temporarily. Because of urgent matters, he was impatient, and he was young, so he didn't discuss with me. The enemy was killed, and the doorman on duty knocked the chilling bell, attracting all the evil spirits from all the islands to attack. Seeing the crisis, one of the evil spirits had seen him and recognized him as Lingwei's beloved son, so he hurriedly prevented everyone from going back. He didn't follow orders, couldn't cross the border, and couldn't be rescued, so he had to leave. Later, old man Lingwei saw that there was no news for a long time, and he suspected that there were capable people among the visitors, so he rushed to check, and the father and son met, and they were saved. The master found out, and he was severely punished. Lingqi said that the island master should not separate his father and son's nature, and he was not angry at all. Hearing that his father was reprimanded, he became more and more resentful. , meet with father at any time, and refuse to let go." "Old man Lingwei is timid and fearful of his teacher. He also thinks that as a long-door disciple, he has committed many mistakes. He is afraid that his beloved son's ignorance will cause trouble. Only when his beloved son arrives, he will rush to him as soon as he is trusted. Then nothing will happen. Blocked by Tieling, I couldn't send a voice to ask for an interview. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to say to me: "There is a tunnel in the ice wall waterfall opposite this cave, which leads to the ice valley more than seven or eight hundred miles in front of Xiuqiongyuan on the other side of the Xuanming Realm." During the last major earthquake, this is one of the sources of the earthquake that the ancestor of the sky created. The original purpose was to lead the source of the earthquake to the other side of the boundary to deal with the catastrophe. A huge ice cliff. After this earthquake, it turned into an ice valley, and the earth's energy in that area was released from it. In the future, the source of the earthquake will be stopped with magic power, so it can be preserved here, and it will not spread again. Afterwards, it was filled with ice and snow. Only this one channel did not tremble any more, and on the other hand, this divine peak reacted with the magnetic source, making the ground hard. At the same time, huge flames spewed out from the peak, melting ice and snow for thousands of miles, causing floods. Although the peak was hundreds of feet longer, it was bounced back by the shock wave, and the ground was not cracked, so it was preserved. Afterwards, because the island owner was concerned about the safety of the island palace, there was an extra secret path for emergency. Closed. He is the only one who has foreseen the secret and can open and close. Old man Lingwei loves his son so much that he leaked it and passed on a magic weapon. As long as he passes through this secret path and shakes the little clock slightly, he will Then be alert, and come out to meet each other directly from here; if you don't come for a long time, it means something happened, or it's time for him to go out, so you have to return to me quickly, so as not to be found out by the island owner, and it will be inconvenient for both father and son. Lingqi Jiumu Island Palace and Xiuqiongyuan are two fairylands, bothering Naifu to have a look, but Lingwei really dotes on him, so he allowed him. I am the master here, his father and son meet each other, it is private Love, the island master knows that I have something wrong. I was fooled by others before, and refused to speak out, so that I let go of the evildoers and made me suffer. , I was trapped in a forbidden net, and I was powerless to escape, so it was inconvenient to hide it, so I heard everything. With this secret path, wouldn’t it be very easy to cross the first layer of the mountain? When I first met, a Taoist friend asked me, it’s not that I didn’t say it, it’s because Just now, I entered meditation and comprehend enlightenment. It seems safer for fellow Taoists to go later, so let’s chat for a while. The old man Lingwei came with his son the day before yesterday, because I insisted on not giving up the inner alchemy, and his son didn’t want to be defeated. I hoped that he would not succeed elsewhere and would still look for me. He did not ask for nothing, but made a deal for helping me out of trouble. I have made up my mind that there is hope of getting out of trouble. Taifu verse formula, practice here for one more day, the benefit of one day is that the time to get out of trouble is still early, and you are not willing. I think that after the fellow Taoists left, they used their original bodies to create some illusory scenes and left a note.假作入定。他那耳鼻口目，灵警异常，只恐瞒他不了。适才洞外诸道友未曾一同延进，便因人多，恐被嗅出之故，以防万一走来撞上。诸位道友先往密径缓缓行去，省得措手不及。”随把出入之法告知。 二人应诺，谢了指点。乌神叟随引二人同出洞外。英琼、阿童、六矮弟兄在外面虽等了两三个时辰，仗着花光明丽，清景如仙，事前又有易静传声相告，也未怎在意。三人出时，洞外七人正由左近花林中走来，匆匆礼见之后，乌神叟便引众人到了正对洞门的千寻冰壁之下。只见壁上寒瀑又宽又大，宛如百道匹练连成一片，倒卷下来，轰轰发发，声如喧雷。溪上雾涌烟靠，水花喷涌，映着四外花光，幻为异彩，奇观壮丽，从来罕见。正看之间，乌神叟行使禁法，将手一指，寒瀑立似冰凝，便不再流。壁脚丈许以上，白光连闪三次，现出一个大约两丈，圆滑坚莹的大洞。易静等一行十人，便飞身走了进去，互相举手作别。烟光杂沓中，入口封闭，洞壁外面瀑声又复洋洋盈耳。众人初意那密径不过由层冰中穿透，只是奇冷，不会十分坚固。及至进洞一看，只入口二三里与来路冰壁相通之处，是由层冰中挖掘出来的甬路，冰坚如晶，气候也不甚寒。再往前走，路便斜下，渐渐穿入地层以下，其热如蒸，比起开头一段冰衖，又大不同。全甬路俱是一般方圆，除入口二三里晶光耀眼，清明可鉴外，一入地层，通体便如墨玉乌金，尽管隐光浮泛，却是昏暗如入黑洞。好在众人多是慧目法眼，甬路一色坦平，又无阻滞，虽在御遁飞行，因恐万一对面有人飞来，遁光全都隐起，照着乌神叟所说，缓缓向前飞去。 又飞行了二百余里，见那甬路并非一直向前，每行四五十里，必有一个转折，时东时西，往复回环，绕上一段，重又归入北行正路。有两个转折之处，并还现出歧径，众人有一次走错，行不数里，忽见地土崩塌之迹，将去路阻止，又退回来。似这样连经了两三处，方始悟出，这条甬路乃当初地底震脉总源。内里经陷空老祖在大震以前用法力开辟出来，又在里面分出许多经络，歧路纵横，引得地气先期往四外宣泄。到了预拟之处，再激荡地气使其裂土上升，发为无数地震。那歧路坍塌之处，必是昔年地震遗迹。所有脉络，俱与乾象蹿度相应。虽然所经仅得十分之一，管中窥豹，已见一斑。暗惊此老不特法力高强，这周围数十里的地面，竟能于数日内，在地底千丈以下，开通出密如蛛网的天蹿甬路。就说这条甬路，是因邻近火峰磁源两处要地，格外加功慎重。余者千万震区的脉络，均以法力法宝开通，草率简陋，只有通路。这魄力的雄伟，计虑的周详，也令人可惊可佩了。 阿童毕竟稚气未退，笑道：“这条地道长得怕人。对方要是发觉有人潜入他的密径，当成仇敌看待，稍微运用法力，这千多丈的冰雪泥土全压下来，四面堵塞，岂不给埋在内？如非诸位道友多精地形之术，要我一人还真有些胆怯呢。”癞姑道：“小和尚，胆子怎这小？就凭这点冰雪泥土就能压死你么？”易静道：“此话并不尽然。我看此老这条甬路，已决计长此保留。当地震时，全径决无如此整齐坚固，事后必还另用法力修建，一定比铁还坚。以我们的法力强自穿行，未始不可，但非容易。我们不便给他残破，前面总该还有分歧之处。凡支脉开始的一段，均极坚固，想是留备最末一次大震，便于考查循迹，不曾毁去。这类地方毁去一点，无关重要，到彼一试，就知道了。”癞姑点头，颇以为然。 南海双童甄艮、甄兑心想以前紫云宫千里神砂，尚且通行自如，这里怎倒艰难？心还不信。恰好前途不远，便有歧路分出。二人赶向前去，择了一处，施展地行神法一试。乍进去觉着并无紫云神砂有邪法反应，须要运用法力，朝前猛冲那样难。但是紫云甬路初进虽难，只要把面层冲破，一到里面便即顺溜。这里地下，却是越走越艰难。也看不见有甚阻滞，只是身上不自在，好似上下四外都有极大吸力，将人吸住，行动粘滞，吃力异常。洞壁也坚逾钢铁，不易冲破。行不数里，便忙退出，向众一说。癞姑道：“你两弟兄真呆，也不算算路程。这里乃是玄冥界的地底，真磁精气总源所在之区。我们已在磁气层左近，幸亏这一带是反弓形，我们走的是弓肚子，弓又往左偏斜。必是主人当初防他自己人行经此地，被元磁真气将身带法宝刀剑吸去，特地把正面避开。否则，我们的飞剑法宝，早就振动有大感应了。你入土那条歧路，偏右一些，相隔磁源越近，又是御剑飞行，不把你二人困在土里，还算便宜。你们就要试他这甬路和地底阻力能否如意通行，也等事完回来，算准里数，择地施行。此时对方又无人作梗，现成道路不走，白费心力做甚？”石生笑道：“谁能有癞师姊巧？专趁现成，不先试出虚实强弱，万一对方突然发动，困在千丈地层以下，要想冲出去就来不及了。”癞姑笑道：“小娃儿家知道什么。主人把这条路认作最隐秘的地道，出入口均有禁法隐蔽，如若无人泄机，确是不会有人知道。你看洞壁，虽经法力凝炼，修得异常坚固，但是内中并未设有分毫法术埋伏。此路决不想毁，也决想不到有外人经此，有甚妨害？如觉可虑时，易师姊早有打算了。倒是灵威叟护犊太甚，此是他日常往来之路，他那宝贝儿子又负伤在此，难保不撞上。不过我们遁光全隐，他如对面飞来，或是由后赶到，隔老远我们先已发觉，隐身贴壁一躲，放他过去，十九也可以无事。别的就不用我担心了。” 正说之间，忽听后方来路飞行之声，远远传来，其行甚疾。易静知道空洞传音，最能传远。自己也正飞行，虽然遁光已隐，破空之声也曾敛去，遇上法力高深之士，仍不免被听出。又知这条密径只有灵威叟父子偶然来往，别无他人。这两人俱非庸流，恐被识破，于事有碍。忙命众人停住，乘其发觉之前，赶紧停住，索性放他过去。因两下里相隔尚远，停有半盏茶时，来人才自飞过。众人见那人是个猿背鸢肩、相貌英俊的白衣少年，所驾遁光也正而不邪，看去神情似甚匆遽，又略带有惊喜之容，正以全力催动遁光，加紧前驶。易静知是灵奇。方想此人分明是有急事，莫非我们踪迹已被发现。心念才动，遁光已一瞥而逝。因疑踪迹已泄，赶往告知乃父，格外加了小心。又恐落得太后，吃他占先坏事，欲与相继到达，即便他告知灵威叟，人已赶到岛边求见，不及作梗了。便把众人遁光联合运用法力，敛声隐形，紧紧随在后面，相隔只在数十里左近。一面留神戒备，一味哑飞，也不做声，以防警觉。灵奇始终不曾回顾。中间又连经了好几处转折，歧路更多。因灵奇熟路，前面有人领导，众人省事不少。中间癞姑也疑灵奇去向乃父告密，想追上去将他截住，问明情由，禁在当地，归途再放。易静力主不可，也就罢了。 飞不多时，遥闻前面飞行之声忽止，以为灵奇已然出洞，便把遁光加急追去。等到飞近洞口一看，这边出口竟是一个广洞，也是坚冰建成，并有两层洞室。后层两间，还设有用具。只是洞门封闭，非用开法不能出去。初意以为灵奇已先飞去，重又将洞口禁闭，阻住去路，及至飞抵尽头，试照乌神叟所传开法一试，只见一片烟光，明灭变化，晃眼便将洞口现出。易静、癞姑二人见如此容易，与入口一样，全无异状，还不放心。当先飞出去一看，洞外是一极大冰谷。两崖之上满是积雪，洞口开在积雪里面。未开时节，通体浑成。这时靠外二面，忽自崖头往下直裂出百丈高下，十余丈厚，三十多丈宽的一大片冰壁，移向前去丈许，宛如冰崖中裂所陷巨缝，洞口便深藏在裂壁之后。妙在是这么大一片裂壁移开时，异常迅速，又无一点声音。等后面诸人相继飞出，行法封闭，晃眼便已复原，也无一毫缝隙。再一查看，眼前这一片荒谷危崖，依旧冰天雪地，荒寒枯寂。灵奇踪迹，已经不见，也不听有破空之声。易静心想：“灵奇飞行没自己快，而且末一段赶得更紧，只是行法开闭稍微耽延，算起自己这面还应快些，万无追赶不上之理。如他发觉有人在后追赶，另有隐身妙法，破空飞行之声也该听出，怎的声影全无？莫非留在洞内尚未飞出，那么过时怎又无甚朕兆？”觉得奇怪。越过前面山崖，走完绣琼原，便到陷空岛海岸，为表诚敬，不能再飞。又恐灵奇赶前告密，步行延误。想了又想，觉得仍按预计相机行事稳妥。 易静正想和众人商议，见英琼手招自己，在云中画字，未及开口，癞姑已先说道：“前半似因沿途妖邪太多，又要绕行一段海路，恐其惊觉，偷听我们机密，所以不能说话。这里已过玄冥界，妖人天视地听之法已无所施，有话但说无妨，只是大家留点心，且走且谈吧。”英琼说：“出洞时节，我走在最后。快出洞口，闻得身后有人微呼'诸位道友'，底下便没了声，好似话到口边又复缩住。忙一回顾，似见左侧室内有白影一闪。因未停留，看到时，人已随众飞出，未及告知众人。又恐说话有碍，微一寻思，易姊妹已将洞门封闭。”易静、癞姑闻言，才知灵奇并未先出。照此情形，必是后段发觉众人在后，收了遁光，隐伏于侧相待。自己初来，地理不熟，又见声光皆敛，认定人已先出，匆匆追出，故此忽略过去。不知呼唤众人做甚？英琼主张退回洞中寻找。易静、癞姑料他无有恶意，看他欲言又止之状，不知又有何痴想，也许打听崔绮近况都不一定，此时哪有闲心与他多说，便不去理他，仍照预计前行。 那冰谷对面，危崖特高，并还连有一座高耸云表的大山，上积万年玄冰白雪，明光耀眼，气候奇寒。山岭俱都相连如环，婉蜒不断，均比对崖还高十倍。天空仍是暗云低迷，气象阴肃，荒凉已极。阿童笑道：“北极寒荒，仅乌神叟所居神峰一点奇景，并还深藏地底，此外一直未见到一草一木。此地相隔陷空岛已近，仍是如此。我想绣琼原在这酷冷的气候中，也未必有甚好景致呢。”话未说完，金蝉笑道：“小师父，这话不然。我见最前面似有一圈青色天空，天也比这里高得多。这些高山俱向那里环抱，焉知山环里面不有灵奇之境呢？”乌神叟说的岛宫上下灵境，易静、癞姑原未及向众详说。见二人争论，癞姑笑道：“这里离陷空岛还有七八百里哩。蝉弟神目透视云雾，所见青天下面奇景甚多。前面山高遮眼，你怎能够看出哩？”阿童道：“还有七八百里么？这么远的途程，要走多少时候才到？”易静接口道：“我们有求于人，又是老前辈，自然须诚敬些。我们步行，又与常人不同。冰雪上滑行过去极快，至多三个时辰也就到了。这条路我虽未走过，但旧游之地，我还记得。大约走上前面冰原，越过右方横岭，见到海水时就差不多到了。” 众人本在冰谷之中滑行飞驶，其实这一片盆地并非冰谷，当初原是与前面高山相连的大片冰原，经过地震所陷的冰窟。因地太广大，四外冰原又高，人行其下，看去四面俱是高崖环耸，无路可通。等滑行到了尽头，提气上升，到了上面，眼前豁然开朗。只见冰雪漫漫，除去路高山危崖而外，下余三面俱是平坦冰原广漠，一片白茫茫，直到天边，万里无垠，气象雄浑已极。众人略一观览，便往前急滑过去。刚越过高山前面的一条横岭，便听远远涛声拍岸，清晰可闻。遥望右方碧波天际，海滩上时有白点移动，知是海鹅、白熊之类北海特有生物，在彼游行驰逐。山势自右侧冰谷来路起，越往右，越往前弯，离那海面将近，越变得凶，并不与海相连。 易静知道陷空岛是万山环抱中的一片里海，水源虽是相通，海中门户已吃封禁，仍须由陆路始得过去。乌神叟又有此行不可过速之言，旧游之地正在前面，反正绕路不多，想领这些师弟师妹侄儿等一开眼界，便率众人往向海一面滑去。还未走近海滩，路上便见那比人还高一倍，又肥又壮，通体白毛如霜的北极冰熊。前额长毛披面中，红光闪闪，隐现一对大而且亮的红眼。三三两两，人立而行。再往前去，冰熊愈多。有一片较高的雪地上，站满不少冰鹅，身比常鹅略高，红睛乌嘴，延颈直立，行动敏速。因生息在北极海滨荒寒之区，自来未遇人类，所以见了生人，全无心机，驯善已极。此外还有寒獭、冰犬之类，多是千百为群，身上皮毛油光水滑，鲜明可爱。不时又见海中巨鲸喷水为戏，水柱突涌，直起数十丈，此起彼落。数目没有初入冰洋所见鱼群之多，但较沉静。忽然巨物山立，冒出水面，一会儿又沉下去，出没无常，时隐时现，状殊暇逸。余如冰蛇、海马、巨虾、人鱼之类尚多。金、石、阿童、英琼四人俱是初次见到，互相指点笑说，称奇不置。英琼道：“想不到连我们不运用玄功真气，差一点都难忍受的北极酷寒之地，竟会有这许多生物，可见造物之神奇伟大了。”阿童道：“这种吹气成霜的苦寒天气，海里会没冻冰，也真怪哩。”易静道：“你们只见这里奇怪，到了绣琼原，还要叫绝呢。自来物极必反。极阴之中，必伏有真阳；极阳之中，亦必伏有真阴。海水并非不冻，何况又有万千里冰原雪岭，时常不免崩裂，滑向海里。只因这里已离北极尽头之处不远，由陷空岛起，到前面那一段，千余里海面，正是北极地轴的起点，隐伏纯阳，又当北极磁光返照之处，所以终古海水不冻。往回路走，便成冰海了。” 众人且谈且行，先向半山半海之处斜驶过去。离海约有百里，易静忽引众人改向北面。行不多远，便到那大半环连岭之下。只见入口之处，双峰对列，犬牙交错。中现一条峡谷，谷径往后斜行，做“之”字形。进约十余里，俱是冰雪布满。行约二百余里，才把“之”字形的山径绕完，地势忽然平展。到一参天危崖之下，那崖壁立两三千丈，通体如削，与左右高山相连，宽约百丈。下有石门，十分高大，石黑如墨，温润坚莹，无殊玉质，气象越发雄伟。众人一路行来，到此方见石土。回顾来路“之”形谷径，由入口起直到尽头，宽窄如一，冰崖石壁，俱做梯形横立，异常整齐。方始省悟当初并无谷径，乃主人以法力开山凿成。绣琼原全仗四面高山环绕，寒气不能侵入，所以气候较温，景物独胜。惟恐谷径一开，到了下半年，北极寒风冷气循径侵入，故把谷径开成“之”字形。又在谷尽头，在危崖之下开一门户，以供启闭。沿途梯形崖壁，也必是阻挡寒风冷气之用。到门一看，门高不过十丈，宽约五丈，顶上横额刊有四字朱文古篆，文曰“绣琼仙境”。初意如照直径计算，那山也只有百多里厚，门道必不甚长。哪知里面甚长，每隔五里，便有一层门户，共是九层，尚幸全都两面大开，并无梗阻。行约四五十里，才把门道走完。一路清洁，不着点尘。 刚一出门，面前豁然开朗，现出奇景。只见四面都是高矗云空的大山，环拥若城。别处都是冻云压顶，冷雾凄迷，数万里冰封雪积，不见天日。独这平原一带，天气虽然极冷，常人到此，仍是重裘无温，禁受不住，但比来路所经却强得多。最奇的是，那冷只是干冷，天宇反倒分外高旷清明，风日晴和。气候如此奇寒，那景物却似介乎中土春秋之间。遥望四外山色，上半都是白雪皑皑，直闪银光。山腰以下，恰似满植乌柏枫叶之类，经霜凌寒，深染丹霞，不是紫云万丈，便是红雪千里。斜日回光照将上去，朱霞绵缅，殷红如血。再吃山顶白雪一映，愈发浮光泛彩，金紫辉煌，气象万千，难以形容。这样看去，仿佛是个深秋景色。可是当中平地之上，又耸立着许多峰峦岩岭，都比四山低下十之七八，最高的不过千百丈，无不灵奇瘦透。涧谷幽深，洞壑玲珑，清溪飞瀑，映带其间。不是嘉木插云，便是芳草平芜。端的水木清华，美景无边。尤其那些林木花草，当地特产，独具耐寒之性，种类繁多，冰莲雪蕊，琪树琼林，与无数姹紫嫣红，琪花瑶草，凌寒竞艳，同斗芳菲。看去又似阳春美景。似此一春一秋，佳时并秀，汇为宇内之奇。 众中除易静一人是旧地重游外，余人连癞姑也未到过。那些珍木异卉，更是平生初见，多不知名了。石生问道：“此地景物怎这样好法？看去都叫人心神爽快。就是天冷一点。”易静笑道：“绣琼原地方千里，景物灵奇，为北极惟一福地灵境，久已受人觊觎，如非陷空老祖在此居住，早被附近各岛妖邪占据去了。这里不过起头，更好的地方还未见到哩。这里外层万山环拱，陷空岛恰在中心。四面又是群山环绕，当中现出一大片水，名为是海，实是一片湖沼。岛在中央，形似仰盂。底下伏流，与海相通，上面却看不出。共是三个圆环，由外至内，一层层矮小下去。你不是见当中平原群峰环列么？陷空岛和天涔海便隐在里面。往常有人求见，或那些求道拜师的人，并不能遁入绣琼原内地谒见岛主，都在适才所见外海的西北角海岸上。那里海中也有一岛，形如覆碗。岛中心有一深穴，与岛宫相通，波涛异常险恶，地名也叫陷空岛。大弟子灵威叟，便住岛穴洞府以内。我若不是以前曾随家父家师来过，颇受岛主青睐，又有掌教师尊情面，也
