Chapter 18 Ice Cave
The Cold Bing Cave is in the belly of Qingyan Mountain. The cave is extremely cold. It is surrounded by thick white mist all year round, and the cold air comes from the white mist.
It is said that at the deepest part of the Ice Cave, there is a very small pool. The water in the pool comes from the stalactites that are constantly dripping from the top of the cave. The thick white fog overflows from the pool deep in the cave.
The deeper the ice cave and closer to the pool, the richer the white fog, and accordingly, the heavier the cold air inside.
From Ji Changkong's memory, he knew that Hanbing Cave was a place to punish the Ji family's juniors. He had heard people talk about Bing Hanbing Cave many times. Because he was weak since childhood and became sick from time to time, even though he occasionally did something wrong or took the blame for Ji Changle, he had never been punished to Hanbing Cave.
——From the elders of the Ji family, he, without the energy in his body, could never withstand the cold air in the cold ice cave.
Ji Changkong had heard too much about the horror statement about the Ice Cave, but after he actually entered the Ice Cave, he realized that the coldness of the Han Bing Cave was even more terrifying than those of the Ji family's children described.
As soon as he entered the ice cave, the white mist swallowed Ji Changkong. In an instant, Ji Changkong was like falling into an ice cave. The extremely cold air suddenly made him stiff all over. The fire dragon's alcohol that had not yet disappeared seemed to be suddenly washed away by the cold air.
The cold air in the mist seemed to be about to penetrate into his body along his mouth, nose, ears, eyes, and pores, making his hands and feet numb, and every step he took became extremely difficult.
So awesome! Ji Changkong experienced the terrible cold air of the Cold Cave and exclaimed in his heart.
This is just the entrance of the cave. According to the Ji family, the deeper the Cold Cave, the heavier the cold air inside. In the innermost pool, the cold air is three times heavier than the entrance of the cave!
"Changkong, just be at the entrance of the cave. Never go inside. Over the years, the three generations of the Ji family have made mistakes and stayed at the entrance of the cave for three days. Only when Changxiao entered the realm of Liangyi Tian, can he dare to go a little longer inward!" Han Hai, who was guarding the cave, shouted loudly and slowly closed the stone door.
Han Hai is just an old servant of the Ji family. It is said that he served Mo Yunyi before. Over the years, Mo Yunyi has been guarding the Sutra Library, while he is looking at Han Bing Cave. Like Mo Yunyi, Han Hai rarely leaves the entrance of the Han Bing Cave. Since Ji Changkong has never been punished to the Han Bing Cave, he rarely saw Han Hai before.
However, in the past three months, he often secretly went to the Sutra Tower to read the secrets of the Heavenly Masters during the third week of the Sutra Tower, but found that Han Hai would sometimes whisper to Mo Yunyi on the third floor of the Sutra Tower. After a few replies, Ji Changkong was also familiar with Han Hai.
Perhaps because of Mo Yunyi's preference, Han Hai, who has always treated Ji Changkong very seriously, was very kind to Ji Changkong. When he saw Ji Changkong in the Sutra Library, he would ask him about some things about cultivation, but Ji Changkong always smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"Han...Brother Han, don't rush to close the door. My second brother should be here soon." Ji Changkong, who was shivering, shouted to Han Hai outside the cave entrance with trembling trembling.
"He comes and opens again. If the cold air in the Ice Cave overflows, those old people will not be used to punish you young people in the future." Han Hai outside smiled and said softly: "Changkong, be careful. Your second brother is not easy to mess with. If he does something random later, you can say hello earlier."
"It's so cold inside, so the energy in his body can only last for more than three days. It would be strange if he dares to do it." Ji Changkong grinned and said disdainfully.
The reason why elders of the Ji family used the ice cave to punish the younger generation is that on the one hand, they can gain a better memory, and on the other hand, they have the intention to temper them.
It is precisely because the cold air in the Cold Ice Cave is so cold that every Ji family man who comes in needs to use the energy in his body to resist the cold air. Although three days are not long, continuously resisting the cold air will also consume their energy. After they come out, everyone will be weak for a period of time.
However, this is not a bad thing for the whole body. Every Ji family man who came out of the Ice Cave was weak for a while and when he gathered the energy in his body again, he would find that his energy would be more or less pure.
Over the years, the second generation of the Ji family, such as Ji Haoguang, Ji Haohong, and Ji Wanyun, sometimes even deliberately came to Hanbing Cave to stay in the depths of Hanbing Cave for a while, using the special environment of Hanbing Cave to hone themselves, making their primordial power more pure and profound.
...
Before Ji Changkong could continue to go deeper, he stopped at the entrance of the cave. Feeling the cold cold air, he couldn't help but shivered again. The Yuanli in his body slowly flowed. Wherever the Yuanli passed, the originally cold part of his body gradually became warmer, and his stiff hands and feet gradually relaxed.
He took a light breath, and the faint white icy mist that was lingering in the ice cave went down his throat and was still boiling in Ji Changkong's body because of the "fire dragon burning". When he rushed the cold air, he felt much more comfortable all of a sudden.
It's really useful!
Ji Changkong was delighted, looked at the half of the fire dragon in his hand, a cheerful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and picked up the fire dragon, leaned against the mouth of the jar, and sucked several more mouthfuls.
"Ahem...What a strong wine!"
The fire dragon burned into his throat, and the feeling of burning on the fire came again. The wine boiled in his body, and it seemed that there were several fire dragons burning in his body.
A few mouthfuls of fire dragon burned into his stomach, and there seemed to be a raging fire in Ji Changkong's body. Even if he did not use his Yuan power to resist the cold air of the Ice Cave, the fierce alcohol burning of the fire dragon made him no longer feel cold.
"Huhu... Fortunately, I prepared a lot of wine, it's really good wine! Such a strong wine is only at this time to drink it!" Ji Changkong held the fire dragon and took a few more mouthfuls, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Perhaps because of the Cold Ice Cave, the cold fog here and the strong alcohol burned by the Fire Dragon, he could not feel the coldness that was too cold, nor the discomfort of being burned to death by the Fire Dragon. It was at this time that he truly felt the fierceness of the Fire Dragon's wine and the mellow smell of the wine!
...
His body was no longer cold, and Ji Changkong walked into the Hanbing Cave for about ten feet. Then he sat down, put half of the fire dragon in his hand beside him, closed his eyes and began to mobilize the energy in his body, trying to let the energy in his body flow to the bones and bones below his waist.
When I thought to myself, the Taixu Secret Record quietly appeared in a corner of his mind. As Ji Changkong's thoughts changed, the Taixu Secret Record turned page by page...
This time, Ji Changkong quickly entered the "Egoless Realm". He seemed to have disappeared from the world all at once, and his soul merged into the world, empty, as if he had merged into the ice cave and became part of the fog.
Suddenly, just as Ji Changkong entered the "Egoless Realm", the white mist surrounding him seemed to be alive. They kept floating and changing, and gathered rapidly in his body...
The faint white mist in the distance quickly gathered here. The fog here became thicker and thicker, and the thick fog seemed to have gathered into a heavy snowball, wrapping Ji Changkong inside. In just a moment, Ji Changkong was wrapped in thick white mist.
From a distance, his body, which was tightly wrapped in thick white mist, was like a big silkworm cocoon.
Ji Changkong obviously did not know the abnormality of his body. He fell into the "Egoless Realm", and seemed to have no consciousness. However, the energy in his body automatically flowed, slowly moving towards the leg bones and bone marrow, and gradually flowed to the soles of his feet.
...
I don’t know how long it took, but the stone door of the Hanbing Cave was removed again with a "creaking".
Ji Changkong, who was silent in the "Egoless Realm", suddenly woke up from that wonderful realm and returned to his consciousness.
Ji Changkong did not open his eyes, but could clearly feel that Ji Changle came in from the stone gate, and was looking at him vigilantly at the door.
He did not actively use the Yuanli in his body, but Ji Changkong, who had woken up from the "Egoless Realm", could clearly feel the trajectory of Yuanli flowing in the soles of the foot!
Not only that, the tendons, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, and places in his body that had been tempered by Yuanli were cold and hot at this time. The cold air of the Cold Cave and the alcohol burned by the Fire Dragon had soaked these places at some point, making him feel like he was in dire straits.
However, this feeling not only did not make him feel uncomfortable, but also seemed to make him feel very comfortable and happy.
...
"Second brother, you're here." Ji Changkong grinned, his smile as cold as the white mist in the ice cave.
The thick white mist that tightly wrapped his body suddenly spread out and floated back into the depths of the ice cave as he spoke.
