Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 422 The Sleeping Beauty on Mount Yi

Gu Xu shuttled through the cracks in space, and arrived at the top of Mount Yi in a blink of an eye.

Although the cave where Xuenv sleeps is hidden, it is not difficult to find its location with the guidance of the astrolabe and the causal relationship of the Jinghong pen.

I saw a dark hole hidden behind layers of ice and snow.

It appears to be unobstructed, devoid of any defenses.

However, relying on his profound attainments in talisman formations and the intuition of danger given by the "astrome", Gu Xu was able to detect the danger hidden under the ice and snow.

"The restrictions here should not be underestimated." He said silently in his heart.

As far as he knew, Xuenv mastered the way of ice and snow, could turn ice and snow into all things in the world, and bred vitality from the extreme cold.

Although she is not an expert in the field of formations, she can use ice and snow to achieve the effect of killing formations - if Gu Xu touches the mechanism, the ice edges hanging upside down on the cliff will turn into countless sharp swords and shoot at him.

However, in Gu Xu's eyes, compared with the national teacher on the floating airship and a large group of monks chasing him, the restriction here is not terrible at all, and it can even be described as "gentle".

Relying on the "Meteor Walking the Moon" agility and the crisis warning of the "Astrolabe", he flexibly avoided every key node that would trigger the ban, and arrived at the entrance of the cave smoothly.

If an uninformed person sees such a scene, he may think that he is dancing alone in the snow.

The entrance to the cave is extremely narrow and dimly lit.

But the further you go in, the more spacious it becomes.

There was still faint light blue light on the walls on both sides, illuminating Gu Xu's vision in front of him.

Occasionally, he could still see several animal sculptures made of solidified ice and snow, such as white wolves, elk, cranes, etc., standing motionless on both sides.

Every detail of these animal sculptures is extremely realistic, and every hair can be clearly seen—it always makes Gu Xu feel that they are not like ice sculptures, but living creatures that have temporarily fallen into a deep sleep.

After a while, Gu Xu arrived at the end of the cave.

This is a spacious hall, which is larger than his house in Yishui County. Several stone pillars stand in it, supporting the high cave roof, like several tall and mighty giants.

There is a shallow pool on one side of the stone pillar, and a thin stream of water rushes along the rock wall into the pool.In this quiet and empty cave, the voice sounded extremely loud and echoed for a long time.

Gu Xu's eyes fell on the center of the hall.

There is a huge ice cube here, its surface is flat, and the whole body is shining with a faint ice blue luster.

A girl with a beautiful dimple like frost lay quietly on the giant ice.

She was wearing a plain white dress, her eyes were closed, and her hands were folded on her chest.

Although Gu Xu had seen her appearance in the illusion of Lu's haunted house, when he met her real body, he was still deeply shocked by her beauty that did not belong to the world.

This is a kind of clean and fragile beauty, the deep black and the holy white outline a dreamlike face, as if if you don't pay attention, it will disappear without a trace like waking up from a dream.

If it is in a fairy tale, this must be the alluring Sleeping Beauty, sleeping in the castle, waiting for the kiss of true love from the prince.

But reality is no fairy tale.

This fantastic girl is by no means a harmless princess whose fingers would be pricked by a spinning wheel, but a ferocious ghost who can kill thousands of people in a snowstorm with just a snap of her fingers.

Gu Xu is not the prince who is a hero to save the beauty.

He is just a desperado with malicious intentions, intending to use the power of "Sleeping Beauty" to deal with the pursuer, and then take the opportunity to escape by himself.

While thinking about it, he took a deep breath, took out the "Jinghong Pen", held it in his hand, and slowly poured his true essence into it.

He is the new owner of "Jinghong Pen", and Lu Shiyao is the old owner of "Jinghong Pen". There is a causal relationship between the two that cannot be ignored.

Perhaps with the help of this connection, there is a chance that Xue Nu can be awakened from her deep sleep.

However, when the brilliance of true essence glowing from the "Jinghong Brush" illuminated the entire cave, Xue Nu remained motionless and did not respond.

Gu Xu shook his head lightly, and said with emotion in his heart: "It seems that it is better to feed a ghost!"

Afterwards, he cast "Qian Kun", using a space crack to transform into a sharp blade, and lightly slashed at his palm.

Immediately, a strand of blood gushed out from the wound.In this dark and cold cave, this ray of bright red is particularly dazzling.

Gu Xu knew that in the eyes of most ghosts and monsters in the world, the self with the "body of summoning spirits" was undoubtedly a tempting and irresistible delicacy.

When he was an ordinary exorcist, he used the "body of summoning spirits" to lure many ghosts hidden in the dark, and used the "ghost-killing charm" to burn them.

He and Shi Xiaohan can be called "Double Pride of Yishui County Merit List", and his "body of recruiting spirits" is indispensable.

In his premonition, he believed that the sleeping Snow Maiden could not resist the temptation emanating from his blood—no, the "ghost-attracting" breath.

He took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of Xuenv's ice bed.

Unsurprisingly.

A few seconds later, Xue Nu's eyelashes trembled a few times, then she raised a slender hand as frosty as snow, and grabbed Gu Xu's bleeding left hand.

Her eyes remained closed.

It can be seen that she has not yet fully awakened, and her actions at this moment are just acting according to the instinct of ghosts to prey on human beings.

Then, Xue Nu slowly sat up from the ice bed, grabbed Gu Xu's left hand, and put it close to her pale lips, then tilted her head slightly, like a kitten drinking water, gently licking the blood flowing from his palm.

Straight black hair like ink hangs down from the side of her cheek like a black waterfall.

Her movements are dignified and elegant, and reveal the intimacy and ambiguity of a lover. Even if she is eating human flesh and blood, she also exudes a thrilling beauty.

But Gu Xu didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.

He clearly noticed that his own blood seemed to have an unimaginable magical power - when Xue Nu swallowed it into her stomach, the aura on her body began to rise rapidly, exuding a daunting coercion.

At the same time, with his spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu also noticed the movement outside the entrance of the cave—the practitioners of the Daqi Dynasty also chased to the top of Yishan Mountain, breaking the restriction outside the entrance of the cave.

With the ability of the national teacher, presumably this prohibition can't stop him for too long.

Gu Xu only felt that his current actions were like betting on his life, dancing on the edge of a blade, with fierce ghosts and ghosts on one side, and saints and strong men on the other. He was captured by the Daqi court and beheaded for public display.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up."

Gu Xu muttered silently in his heart.

But Xuenv didn't seem to hear his voice.

On the contrary, she seemed to feel that drinking the blood from Gu Xu's palm was not enjoyable enough.

She jumped up from the ice bed suddenly, like a tiger preying on its prey, and threw Gu Xu to the ground, with the tips of her icy teeth touching his throat.

"This Sleeping Beauty is not easy to mess with." Gu Xu looked at Xue Nu who was pressing on him with a cold body, and secretly complained with a wry smile.
