Chapter 1295 The Secret of Ice Silk

Chapter 1295 The Secret of Ice Silk
It turns out that this ice silk is indeed produced from the top of the snow-capped mountains in southern Xinjiang. The tops of the mountains have been frozen for thousands of years, and the cold environment has caused no grass to grow.

But in such a cold situation, there is a secret place, in which grows an extremely rare mulberry tree. It is not afraid of the cold. From the trunk to the leaves, the whole body exudes a jade-colored cold light.

Ice silkworms cling to mulberry trees and grow, spinning out cocoons one after another and piled at the foot of the mulberry trees.

The silkworm cocoons are frozen and buried in ice and snow, and the silk threads become tougher with each passing day due to the time they are buried in the snow.

Silk threads that have been frozen for hundreds of years can even cut swords and sharp weapons.

Thousands of years ago, the people of southern Xinjiang accidentally discovered this treasure, so they presented the collected ice silk to the high priest.

The high priest made an armor from ice silk thread. The armor was as thin as a cicada's wing. It felt cool and ironed when worn on the body. It was invulnerable to swords and swords. It was regarded as the most precious treasure in southern Xinjiang.

Later, as time passed, the armor was lost, and the secret of ice silk also spread like wildfire.

Because ice silk is worth thousands of gold, countless people go to the peak to collect silk driven by profit. The number of people who can come back alive is much less than the sharks who fish for pearls.

Therefore, the snowy mountain was once again banned and no one was allowed to set foot there. For this reason, the high priests and elders would take turns to go up the mountain to practice and guard the secret realm of the snowy area.

One of the duties of the saints of Southern Xinjiang in the past dynasties was to punish those who violated this taboo by inflicting soul-killing Gu on them.

Because when the Soul-Destroying Gu attacks, all kinds of weird behaviors of the people affected by the Gu will be considered as crazy, which can add a mysterious color to the snowy secret realm, thereby blocking many people who want to go up the mountain to collect silk.

As time went by, almost all those who went to the secret realm were executed by the soul-killing Gu.

Gradually, the secret land of snowy land became a secret again.

Nangong Suisui was puzzled: "Secret? Then why did I still receive ice silk in the past few years?"

Lan Lingling said: "Hongjiang is the saint of the previous generation of Southern Xinjiang. I'm not sure whether she knows this, but when I was the saint of Southern Xinjiang, I used the soul-killing Gu once to punish those who went up the mountain to steal silk. People, therefore, also know the secrets about ice silk.”

"I'm sure that the silk thread you collected is not real ice silk, but a kind of silk spun by Gu insects."

"Although this is forbidden, many Gu masters will use it to make profits, and that kind of Gu is made from a spider that grows in the snowy area."

Changsun Tao asked: "Miss Lingling, what you said is just superficial, right?"

Lan Lingling nodded: "Indeed, what the high priests and elders of the past have prohibited has never been for people to go to the secret realm of the snow to seek death for profit."

"What they banned is a kind of evil magic. I heard that the poison made from ice silkworms can give the poisoned person the evil power of 'spinning silk'."

"This kind of evil skill is very weird and terrifying. It can kill people invisible, and it can also be used to control people's hearts. It is something even more terrifying than the soul-destroying Gu."

Lu Mingyu asked: "Miss Lingling, can you tell me in detail about the last time you used the soul-killing Gu?"

Lan Lingling shook her head: "I'm not sure, because the saint is just a form. Although she is respected by the people, the actual person in charge is the high priest, followed by several great elders."

"The reason why I know this is because my master loves me very much, so he told me this secret to prevent me from being taken advantage of."

"During my tenure as a saint, everyone kept two things secret. The first was Hong Jiang's defection, and the second was the ice silk incident in which I participated."

"I suspect that this matter is related to internal personnel in Southern Xinjiang, otherwise it would not have been kept secret so tightly. If you want to find traces of this group of people, maybe you can go to Southern Xinjiang to investigate."

Nangong Suisui said with lingering fear: "Listen to what you said, it's a good thing that I didn't wear clothes made of the so-called ice silk thread, otherwise, wouldn't I have spider silk on my body?" Lu Mingyu looked at Changsun Tao: "Is this necessary? Study further?"

Changsun Tao said: "No need for the moment. Since they can be buried for so many years without being known, it means that they are very good at evading."

"It will take a lot of manpower to catch their fox tail. It is better to focus on solving the problem of Emperor Shakti, which can also attract them to show up."

Xie Yun said: "What Zhaohua said makes sense, so there is no need to bother digging out their information. Emperor Shitian is even crazier now. If we don't deal with him first, we will only encounter more troubles."

Nangong Suisui asked: "What are you going to do about Yun Fei? Although this person has been our ally for a short time, he is really difficult to control and is likely to turn dark again."

Changsun Tao said: "Observe the situation first. If there is no threat, don't worry about him yet. If he refuses to change, he must be dealt with before dealing with Emperor Shitian, so as not to collude with him again." , which is not good for Da Qin."

Lu Mingyu said: "Things cannot be rushed. They have to be solved one by one. We are still young and have decades left to live, which is enough for us to do many things."

Changsun Tao held her hand and raised the corners of his lips: "That's exactly it."

Lan Lingling rolled her eyes at the two of them, and then said: "I'm more worried about the dangers on the road."

Sima Xuanmo promised: "Don't worry! I am Yang Qian."

Everyone said in unison: "I'm not very relieved."

Overall, there was no danger for the return journey.

But on Dong Sui's side, the situation is not optimistic.

At this time, as long as she closed her eyes, she could be hit by the dream to the warmth/softness deep in her heart.

She faces immersive fear every night. Although she has the consciousness to risk her life, in her dreams she always loses all her courage and strength in reality.

It seemed like she was completely dominated by all negative emotions such as fear, cowardice, despicability, shame...etc.

Once she woke up from a dream and found out that she had fetal force due to her violent mood swings.

The fetus, which was less than three months old, was not sitting firmly, and this accident almost caused her to lose the baby.

It was precisely this experience that made her afraid of falling asleep. In just a few days, she completely changed into a human shape.

Baili Wuxiang watched her lose weight day by day, as if she had returned to the state of near-death. He once again advised her: "Princess, listen to me, you can't keep this child. Otherwise, if this continues, both you and the child will die." Save!"

Dong Sui was extremely determined: "No, we haven't reached the last moment yet, so we can't give up yet."

Baili Wuxiang said anxiously: "You girl, why don't you listen to my advice? As a doctor, can I harm you?"

Dong Sui shook his head: "Sir, the prince's first child must not be lost."

Baili Wuxiang stamped his feet: "You still can't trust that boy's character? Does he need you to keep this child for him? If he knows that you are in danger, he will definitely keep you at all costs."
