Chapter 549 Conclusion
Looking down from the air, Tianchi Peak is flat and covered with snow.
The Tianchi Lake in the center of the peak is crystal clear and as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the evening sky and emitting a soft light. From a distance it looks like a pearl inlaid on the peak.
The scene is so peaceful and beautiful, tranquil and peaceful that ordinary people would not see anything unusual.
Yun Qingqing frowned tightly, with a bright light in her eyes, and whispered to Xiao Changheng behind her:
"Hold it steady."
As she spoke, she controlled the Dawn to descend a little, then moved forward a short distance and hovered in the air again.
Yun Qingqing raised her right hand and concentrated on making hand gestures. After a moment, she slowly pushed her palm forward.
When advancing to a certain position, the air in front suddenly rippled slightly, as if the palm of the hand touched an invisible wall of water, and the scenery in front also shook for a moment.
The light in Yun Qingqing's eyes remained clear as a burst of golden light appeared in her palm, slowly spreading outwards. Wherever it passed, circles of talisman patterns spread out, gradually expanding into an array formation.
Soon the formation had expanded to a radius of two meters, and Yun Qingqing finally slowly withdrew her hand.
"Hold on tight." She whispered again and pointed her finger lightly forward. Suddenly, a hole gradually expanded in the center of the circular formation.
The hole soon expanded to be large enough for a person to pass through. The surface seemed to be covered with a layer of film, and only a vague view of the scene on the other side could be seen.
Xiao Changheng supported Yun Qingqing while looking inside, only to see a dark area behind the membrane. It seemed that something was moving, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Yun Qingqing piloted the Dawn and flew straight through the hole.
The moment he passed through the hole, Xiao Changheng's expression changed.
The North is already freezing cold, but the coldness here is far beyond the normal level in the outside world.
The chilly air that rushed towards him almost froze his bones. Xiao Changheng subconsciously used his internal strength to resist the cold, but the effect was minimal. This coldness seemed to have conscious malice and penetrated directly into his soul, attacking his consciousness as if to freeze his thoughts.
All of Xiao Changheng's willpower was mobilized to resist the chill, and his mind was almost blurred.
In the boundless cold, there was only a heat source in front of him that emitted waves of warmth. He subconsciously hugged the heat source tightly, desperately trying to absorb a little warmth.
Suddenly, he felt a heat between his eyebrows, and then the bone-chilling coldness that penetrated his soul quickly receded, and Xiao Changheng regained consciousness.
Yun Qingqing was seeing her withdrawing her fingertips from his forehead, looking at him nervously and solemnly.
Only then did he realize that he was hugging Yun Qingqing tightly. Their breathing and heartbeats were intertwined, and their posture had never been so ambiguous.
There was a trace of panic in Xiao Changheng's eyes. He suddenly let go and retreated, even forgetting that he was still standing on the Dawn Sword. He missed a step and almost fell down.
Yun Qingqing looked at his subconscious reaction of retreating, his eyes darkened, and he pulled him back, his voice a little cold:
"Hold on if you're okay. This place is weird, don't move!"
Xiao Changheng closed his eyes and calmed his mind, then he noticed that the entire top of Tianchi Peak was filled with ghostly auras, with wandering souls floating around all over the sky and the ground. Even the skylight seemed to have dimmed a lot here.
The evening sun was about to set below the horizon, adding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere to the scene.
Xiao Changheng took a deep breath, nodded, and his voice returned to its usual cold and clear tone:
"knew."
Yun Qingqing looked at him expressionlessly, then turned back to control the Dawn to circle around and continue observing Tianchi Peak.
Xiao Changheng also looked around intently. It was not difficult to see that the top was covered by a huge barrier. From the outside, everything seemed normal and not a single ghostly aura was leaked out. However, from the inside, one could clearly see the boundary between the barrier and the outside world.
The junction was half light and half dark, one half was pure snow-capped mountain scenery, and the other half looked like hell.
Xiao Changheng recalled the conversation between the ghost girl and Yun Qingqing just now, and couldn't help but whispered:
"Are these the lost souls of the underworld?"
Yun Qingqing looked towards Tianchi with a bit of coldness:
"It's far from enough. There's something wrong with this Tianchi."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changheng looked over and discovered that the place with the thickest ghost aura and the most wandering souls was right on the surface of the Tianchi Lake.
But what is strange is that the Tianchi Lake itself still looks pure and clear, as if it is not tainted by any evil spirit.
Those wandering souls were floating densely several feet above the Tianchi Lake. It looked very crowded, but not a single soul went down. A vacuum zone was formed between the Tianchi Lake and the group of wandering souls, which was very strange.
Yun Qingqing flew Dawn to the edge of Tianchi Lake, slowly landed, pulled Xiao Changheng to the ground, and took Dawn in her hand.
The two were still in the concealment formation, and wherever they went, the wandering souls within a thirty-meter radius automatically avoided them without noticing.
But after Yun Qingqing landed on the ground, she suddenly handed Xiao Changheng a talisman and said:
"Keep it close to you and follow me closely."
She watched Xiao Changheng put the talisman into his arms as he was told, then raised her hand and removed the concealing formation.
The wandering souls suddenly sensed the breath of living people and stopped. Xiao Changheng felt that countless pairs of cold eyes were looking at this side, and then the wandering souls seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and floated towards the two of them.
He noticed that the wandering souls all had dull and confused eyes, as if they didn't know what to do and were just gathering here instinctively.
But at this moment, the Dawn Sword in Yun Qingqing's hand suddenly made a buzzing sound, exuding a sharp sword intent.
The entire atmosphere in the air changed, and the wandering souls retreated as if frightened. The wandering souls around the two people disappeared in an instant.
Yun Qingqing sighed quietly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes:
"All that's left is the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. The soul is badly damaged. Even if it is sent back to the underworld now, it will take many years to be nurtured, or it will take great luck to be reborn again."
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face became serious:
"You just said this is only part of it, so where are the other souls?"
Yun Qingqing looked at Tianchi again and said in a cold voice:
"It's probably down there."
As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment, then suddenly pulled up Xiao Changheng's hand, made a hand gesture, and a thin golden light condensed from her fingertips.
This golden light was different from the golden light she usually used when drawing talismans and forming formations. It became brighter and brighter at her fingertips, and finally condensed into substance, turning into a golden line of neither long nor short.
Yun Qingqing picked up the golden thread and tied one end to Xiao Changheng's ring finger.
Xiao Changheng curled his fingertips slightly, feeling the warmth and dexterity of her fingers, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Yun Qingqing tied a knot in the golden thread, put the other end into Xiao Changheng's hand, handed her hand to him, and signaled with her eyes.
Xiao Changheng pursed his lips slightly, picked up the gold thread and tied the other end on Yun Qingqing's ring finger in the same way.
Just after tying the knot, the golden thread suddenly flashed and then disappeared quietly.
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned, and then he heard Yun Qingqing say in a calm tone:
"This line has no length or space limit, and only the person who tied it can untie it. With this, you don't have to worry about getting separated."
Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes, suppressed the expression in his eyes, and nodded gently:
"good."
Yun Qingqing said nothing more. She turned around, holding Dawn, and quickly drew a few runes towards the lake, while pushing the other one forward.
I saw the runes disappear into the lake, and the lake surface suddenly rippled slightly. Then, as if a painting was broken, the mirror-like reflection of the lake surface changed!
