"Yi, gurgle gurgle gurgle..." Before she could finish her words, she disappeared under the water, and the black shadow disappeared with her.
"Lingyuan!" Yi Ling exclaimed. He now felt that his connection with Qu Lingyuan was cut off.
She is probably no longer in this space now.
A strange phenomenon occurred. The ice on the water surface gradually returned to its original state, and pieced together again like a broken mirror, returning to the state it was before the black shadow appeared. Everything was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened.
The temperature underwater was even colder than the air, causing Qu Lingyuan's red lips, which still had a hint of blood color, to turn blue in an instant. The mouthful of ice water she drank stung her internal organs.
The surroundings were pitch black, she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, but she didn't feel any difficulty breathing, and she couldn't even feel the water pressure around her. Instead, it felt like she was standing on land.
An old voice with 3D surround sound looped in my ears: "Young man..."
Feeling insecure in the darkness, Qu Lingyuan pursed her lips, feeling a little scared.
"I'm a girl." At this time, she still couldn't help but want to be naughty.
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then spoke much faster: "Teenagers generally refer to young people between the ages of 12 and 18, not just girls. It has nothing to do with gender, so, uh..."
Qu Lingyuan: “…”
The old voice paused for a few seconds: "I'm not here to give you science."
"Old man, from the sound of your age, you seem quite old. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's really tiring."
The sound seemed to echo in an empty space, and a little fluorescent light appeared in front of me, wandering up and down in the air. It was probably a firefly.
“Follow the guidance and come to me.”
Mystifying?
Qu Lingyuan looked at the small firefly and followed it.
Maybe it's an opportunity.
The vision was full of darkness, with only that little bit of light, but it was still scary, and I always felt that I would be tripped by something in the next step.
She moved forward in small steps, and now she even wanted a cane to explore the way. For the first time in her life, she understood the feeling of a blind person.
Not long after, a bright light appeared ahead. The guiding light disappeared in the light, and Qu Lingyuan could gradually see the road ahead clearly.
Walking towards the light, she found herself in a large cave.
Coming out of the cave, you will see lush green trees, crystal clear lake water, and majestic green mountains all around. It is truly a paradise on earth.
There was also a white-haired old man standing by the lake, looking at her.
"You're here?" He stretched out a hand towards Qu Lingyuan.
Walking over uncontrollably, Qu Lingyuan asked, "What's the matter with the old man summoning me here?"
"No one has been here for hundreds of years. I'm old and very lonely here. Why don't you stay and keep me company?" The old man had a kind look in his eyes, but his words made Qu Lingyuan's hair stand on end.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. My friends are waiting for me outside." She tried her best to look normal and refused.
After hearing this, the old man's face looked unhappy.
"I'm not asking for your opinion!" His expression turned cold. "If you stay, I'll give you this sword-raising gourd. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."
Unfair terms...
Qu Lingyuan wasn't afraid of being beaten, so she just asked, "What is a sword-raising gourd?"
The old man smiled and pulled out a small blood-red gourd from his waist. "This is a magical artifact. It can hold two swords. After forty-nine days, you can summon the swords from the gourd and attack according to your thoughts. You don't have to hold the swords with your hands. The higher the quality of the swords, the better the effect."
The unscrupulous Comrade Qu wanted to deceive the old man.
"Such a good thing, I'll keep it." She agreed readily and even moved closer to him.
The old man might just be too lonely. When he heard that she was willing to stay, he immediately put on a kind smile and handed her the gourd from his waist.
"Is there a sword inside?" Qu Lingyuan asked after taking the gourd.
"No, I'll give you two if you want." The old man conjured two swords out of thin air and handed them to her. "Don't try to play any tricks. You can't get out of this space without my help."
Every year he would try to break the ice in the extremely cold environment to lure people in, but those cunning humans always ran faster than rabbits. After finally finding someone who was slow to react, how could he let him go?
No matter what he thought, Qu Lingyuan had a good plan in mind. Since they couldn't get out without his help, they might as well make the best of it.
Her current Xuan Qi level is not high enough, and she has no weapons. At worst, she can just wait and fight with him after forty-nine days. Anyway, if her attacks are ineffective, she can always wear him down and make him submit.
After making a good plan, she behaved well for a few days, and the old man finally believed that she was willing to stay, and treated her more kindly.
Asking herself honestly, if she didn't have to complete the mission and still had Shura in her heart, she would probably rather spend the rest of her life here.
......
The time when the extreme cold realm is open happens to be 49 days. Su He hasn't seen Qu Lingyuan since she left, and he smiled secretly.
I originally wanted to do something bad to her and let her die in the extreme cold, but I didn't expect that she would commit suicide and disappear without a trace. This can't be blamed on me, Su He.
In order to prevent Shura from having the opportunity to go in and look for Qu Lingyuan, Su He stayed in the extremely cold environment until the last moment of its opening before coming out. He saw Shura standing at the exit in a black robe with his hands behind his back.
The moment Su He stepped out, the exit closed.
Shura's eyes darkened a few shades: "Where is she?"
Pretending to be grief-stricken, Su He said in a tearful voice, "Sister Lingyuan was really naughty. She threw me off as soon as she entered. The extremely cold realm is so dangerous, how could I let her take the risk alone? But I kept looking for her in there until the very last moment, but there was no sign of her. I'm afraid she's in danger..."
This statement was half true and half false, but it made Shura very dissatisfied.
His voice turned cold. "She's missing, why didn't you come out to look for me? Do you think a little fox demon like you can protect her?"
"I..." Su He hurried to explain, but saw Shura walked to the exit that had just been closed, condensed the giant sword again, and slashed it fiercely at the air, creating a space crack.
This kind of thing is not difficult for him.
Feeling a bit anxious, he only knew that nothing must happen to Qu Lingyuan.
If she is alive, he will rescue her; if she is dead, he will go to the underworld to ask Fengdu for her.
He wanted to see who in this world dared to take the life of the little quail.
