Unfortunately, the Topaz Starship had already entered the giant tree forest, but the sky still showed no signs of brightening.

Those extravagantly large trees were now partially covered by thick snow.

To Gu Jiu's surprise, these trees did not "come alive".

The last time he was here, the forest had four seasons in one day, and at night the trees would come alive and devour the fallen leaves on the ground.

But now they are all motionless, as if they were frozen by the snowflakes.

The white snow is connected into one piece, like a sea with no end in sight.

At this time, Gu Jiu was actually looking forward to the appearance of those giant faces with wild beards.

It's so quiet.

This kind of silence was just as the empress described, the world was dead silent, there was no living creature, not even ghosts.

Under the dark sky, only the rustling sound of falling snowflakes could be heard.

Even Gu Jiu, who had seen all kinds of scenes, felt a little nervous at this moment.

Yes, this feeling of dead silence is the easiest to break a person's heart.

The usually calm empress also looked unhappy.

It was not until Gu Jiu came closer and their shoulders touched that the terrifying feeling eased a little.

This at least proves that he (she) is not the only living creature in this world, and the extremely desolate feeling naturally changed a lot.

Soon, the two began to make small talk. They both had an illusion that if they didn't speak, they would soon be swallowed up by the silence.

The empress once complained that there were too many people and it was too noisy, but now thinking back, there would be nothing wrong if there were more people chattering on the ship.

Gu Jiu looked at the huge trees around him that were completely covered with snow and sighed, "I hope the Bitter Sea won't be affected by this awful weather."

If the Sea of ​​Bitterness becomes so cold and without daylight, they will lose the hope of saving humanity.

Unconsciously, the Topaz Starship increased its speed, crushing everything along the way and stirring up thousands of piles of snow.

The trees stood there like cold giants.

Gu Jiu was thinking, if the snow continued to fall like this, would it completely submerge these giant trees? What a terrible scene it would be like in this world then.

The day still hadn't arrived, and the two could only estimate the time themselves.

After sailing for about two days, we finally reached the end of the giant forest.

In order to make this world more lively, Gu Jiu even called out the Fire Phoenix.

The fire phoenix circled around the empress, seemed quite curious about her, and emitted bursts of clear phoenix calls.

Its voice was very penetrating, like a sharp sword, carving a hole in the rocky silence of the world.

Seeing the Fire Phoenix perched on Gu Jiu's head like a hen, the Empress finally smiled and said, "This Fire Phoenix is ​​different from what I imagined."

Gu Jiu sighed and said, "It's different from what I imagined. Doesn't it look like a hen?"

The Fire Phoenix couldn't help but make a cooing sound in protest. The Empress could only shake her head and said, "Fire Phoenix, that's not what I said."

After hearing the empress's words, the fire phoenix raised its wings and hit Gu Jiu on the head.

Gu Jiu grabbed its right wing and said, "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, but please stop taking pictures. If you burn my hair, I'll roast you and eat you."

Huo Feng couldn't help but let out a long breath, like an old man sighing to a naughty child.

This owner doesn't seem very reliable.

After Gu Jiu let go of his hand, this guy flew directly to the empress's shoulder and seemed to be closer to her.

The empress touched its little head with her hand, and it seemed to enjoy it very much, even narrowing its eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but say, "Hey, you're such a traitor."

As a result, the other party "cooed" even louder, feeling quite smug.

Because of the appearance of the Fire Phoenix, the seemingly endless loneliness was finally alleviated a lot.

After the Topaz Starship left the Giant Tree Forest, only a few sharp corners of rocks remained around it, indicating that many things were buried by the heavy snow.

If they continued sailing like this, it would be difficult to determine the location of the temple, so Gu Jiu asked the empress to stop the boat, rubbed his hands, and plunged into the snow pile.

The sword fire ignited with a bang, and Gu Jiu ran under the snow with the Haoyu Sword in his hand, as if he was swimming. The scene was very magical.

There are naturally a lot of rocks under the snow, and what Gu Jiu is looking for are those unfinished sculptures.

Only by finding those sculptures could he better determine the location of the temple.

Chapter 16 You have the final say

Gu Jiuru swam in the snow like a fish and soon discovered the stone statues buried deep in the snow.

These unfinished stone statues looked even more eerie in the snow, like corpses buried in the snow.

The last time, Gu Jiu and Yu Weiwei found the temple by following these stone statues, so this time, Gu Jiu asked the Fire Phoenix to ignite the phoenix fire to clear a path in the snow, while sending the White Feather Sword outside to show the way to the empress.

After discovering that the White Feather Sword was flying ahead, the Empress immediately controlled the Topaz Starship to catch up.

Rumble!

The burning body of the fire phoenix rushed through the snow, burning a big hole and illuminating the surrounding environment.

Gu Jiu leaned on his sword eyes and carefully searched the nearby stone statues.

Honestly, being buried in the snow was pretty depressing.

After running around for about half an hour, Gu Jiu finally found the huge temple.

In the thick snow, only a corner of the eaves appeared in Gu Jiu's eyes, but this was enough.

With a splash, Gu Jiu jumped out of the snow and landed back on the bow of the boat.

He pointed ahead and said to the Empress, "Just keep going along this route."

The empress nodded, and the Topaz Starship sailed through the snow-covered night, looking like a terrifying beast.

When we got here, there was only white snow all around except for the topaz star ship.

The sky and the ground are like an endless ocean.

The fire phoenix nestled on Gu Jiu's head, emitting waves of warmth, making Gu Jiu and the empress feel very comfortable.

Surrounded by the faint warmth, snowflakes could not float in, forming a long and narrow gap.

Looking at the vast snowy night, Gu Jiu felt that this dark world was really interesting, even better than HaiLan Home. As expected, every time he came here, he had a new experience.

The light of the phoenix fire shone on the man and woman, making them particularly conspicuous, as if they were gods walking alone in the end times.

In fact, Gu Jiu and the Empress are gods in the eyes of many people.

The path they are walking on now is also the path that the immortals, Buddhas and gods walked on in the past.

This is how fate and inheritance work. Many immortals and Buddhas died in this terrifying world and lost contact with the Yang world where the Tang Kingdom was located, as if their inheritance was cut off.

The Tang Dynasty experienced a long period of time without immortals and Buddhas.

Who would have thought that many, many years later, there would be a man and woman like this, walking the same path they had walked in the dead of night.

We sailed in this lonely manner for several hours, and the surrounding environment remained terribly monotonous.

There was only snow and the rustling sound of snow falling on the snow.

At this moment, the scene ahead suddenly changed.

Some gray shadows gradually appeared in the vast snowfield. They stood there like protruding reefs on the sea.

When the Topaz Star Boat approached, Gu Jiu and the Empress discovered that they were inverted statues of Guanyin.

Some of them had half of their bodies buried in the snow, some had only their heads buried, and some had their entire bodies exposed, making it look like something was supporting them under the snow.

Gu Jiu knew that they were supported by the trees whose roots were in the sky.

But the last time he and Yu Weiwei came here, these Guanyin statues were still in the belly of the tree, but now they have come outside.

Is it childbirth?

Yes, in Gu Jiu’s mind, the appearance of these Guanyin statues here is no different from the tree giving birth to them.

Initially these Guanyin statues were very small, nestled in the tree trunks like babies in their mother's belly, but now they have come out.

The empress looked at these gray Guanyin statues and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She had once sculpted a thousand-foot statue of Guanyin outside the Galan City, and was no stranger to the statue of Guanyin.

Her understanding of the Guanyin statue came from the inscriptions on a relic, which recorded the origins and inheritance of various Guanyins. The secret technique of launching the Qianren Guanyin battle came from those inscriptions.

Now, when she saw these upside-down Guanyin statues, she felt unfamiliar because they were cold, lonely and eerie.

Just like this world covered with snow and without any trace of life, it makes people feel uneasy.

Gu Jiu said calmly, "I've seen similar Guanyin statues in Miaojiang before, but they were much larger than these. The reason Xi Yu has been trapped there is related to this Guanyin statue."

The Empress was silent, thought for a moment, and then said, "You mean, they will grow up and cause trouble?"

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "That's about it."

"What do you want to do?" asked the empress.

"The left side is yours, and the right side is mine, how about that?"

"Row."

As soon as the empress finished speaking, she steered the Topaz Starship to the left, while Gu Jiu lightly tapped his feet and floated to the right like a flying wild goose.

Almost at the same time, the red sword light and the blue sword light lit up.

The sword light swept across, cutting through the bodies of these Guanyin statues.

Afterwards, it exploded and the juice splashed, which was a particularly eye-catching scene in this quiet snowy night.

It was like a painter knocked over the ink tray, spilling countless ink flowers on the snow.

Just as Gu Jiu expected, these Guanyin statues were not made entirely of stone, but contained a black liquid similar to blood.

The juice fell on the snow, making a sizzling sound, like boiling water poured on the snow.

I wonder how many such Guanyin statues there are standing in this vast snowfield.

The Empress drove the Topaz Starship at lightning speed, accelerating, turning, and drifting like flowing water.

Every time the Topaz Star Boat paused briefly, it meant that an inverted Guanyin statue was smashed to pieces.

On the other side, Gu Jiu's whole body was surrounded by sword energy. From a distance, it seemed as if every strand of his hair and every part of his clothes were a cold sword edge.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Every time he landed, a statue of Guanyin exploded into flowers.

The previous black flower has just bloomed, and the next one blooms right after it, one after another.

There are at least a thousand such statues in this vast snowfield, and the Empress and Gu Jiu are destroying them at an exaggerated speed as if they are in a competition.

After a stick of incense, the Topaz Star Boat drifted, drew a beautiful arc, and began to move back.

And halfway, it met Gu Jiu who was returning on the wind.

Gu Jiu landed on the bow of the boat and swept his hand, and the snow on his body fell to the ground.

The empress remained standing on the boat, without a single drop of snow on her body.

Gu Jiu coughed and said, "It seems I need to be a little faster."

The Empress looked expressionless and said, "I have more statues on my side."

Gu Jiu shrugged and said, "Well, you are older, so you have the final say."

He was afraid that the empress would throw him out again, so he jumped to the side. After finding that the empress was motionless, he pulled the rattan chair out of the sword bracelet.

Then, lie down and snore, all in one go.

Chapter 17 Finally here

After the Guanyin statue was destroyed, the surrounding area was covered with snow again.

After lying down for a while, Gu Jiu stood up.
