Since the glacier snow lotus was originally given to the Emei Sect by the descendant of Lu Ban who designed Feilai Temple, it means that this Lu Ban descendant must have a way to get in touch with the glacier snow lotus.

Yan Shou is the heir of Lu Ban. It would be a huge disgrace if he was helpless against Glacier Snow Lotus in the end.

According to his idea, since the glacier water around the glacier snow lotus is extremely cold, living creatures must not be allowed to approach it. Designing and making a mechanism to pick wood is the best way.

But this trap wood cannot be controlled by using the Yin Wood Soul Locker like Sanyuan, because according to Master Guanyun’s instructions, the glacier water will even freeze the soul.

So the picking tools must meet the following three conditions.

First, it can come and go freely in extremely cold glacial water.

Second, there must be no life, not even a soul, otherwise you will die.

Third, you need to be obedient and flexible, otherwise you are likely to harm the glacier snow lotus during the picking process.

It is easy to solve each of the three separately, but when the three become parallel conditions, the difficulty of the problem increases exponentially.

Yan Shouyi sat on the ground and thought hard, and slowly came up with a plan.

Because it is purely used as a tool, the designed prop can be completely separated from the biological shape, retaining a body that can swim like a fish, plus a mechanical pliers like a crab, used to cut lotus roots. Digging lotus seeds is enough.

In order to satisfy the second and third dual conditions, Yan Shouyi decided to use the wooden puppet method to separate a strand of the scattered soul in his body to control this fish-like crab. Toy, at the same time place several fire-living talismans in its body to maintain its own temperature and resist the cold.

In this way, you can achieve absolute control over the props without harming the glacier snow lotus without having your soul frozen by the glacier water.

It is worth mentioning that the method of injecting the soul uses the secret technique of the wooden puppet body. This is a very painful process for others, but for Yan Shouyi But don’t use it.

The secret of "Wooden Puppet Dharma Body" is that after the descendants of Lu Ban made the puppet Dharma Body, they had to forcibly peel off a strand of their own souls and inject it into the Dharma Body, so that they could control it from the first perspective. Dharmakaya.

Ordinary descendants of Lu Ban, to forcibly strip away their souls, is tantamount to pulling out bones and cramps, and they have to endure indescribable pain.

But Yan Shouyi is a corpse puppet of the Heavenly Evil, and his soul is already scattered. The enemy cannot really attack his soul, and he can just peel off his soul at will without feeling pain.

With a preliminary plan in place, he rummaged around in his satchel and found a piece of white birch wood that had an advantage in cold resistance.

White birch loves light, is intolerant of shade, and tolerates severe cold. It has strong adaptability to soil, deep roots, and is resistant to barren soil. Its bark is as smooth as paper, and you can even write on it with a pencil.

There is nothing unusual about ordinary white birch wood, but taking it out of Yan Shouyi's satchel, it is naturally not simple.

This piece of white birch is about the size of two palms, with clear lines on its surface and as smooth as a mirror.

It was left by Yan Shouyi’s grandfather.

Yan Baixiang once went to North Korea and fought a battle there. At that time, artillery shells blasted away an iceberg, and a fallen birch tree was sealed in the mountain. According to Yan Baixiang's speculation, this birch tree may be It came from two thousand years ago and has been frozen until he discovered it.

Because of his limited ability, Yan Baixiang could only cut off the best piece and bring it back. Since then, he has never found a chance to use it, and now it appears in Yan Shouyi's satchel.

Then came the design, carving, and assembly...

This process took the longest, but Yan Shouyi enjoyed it very much and did not notice the passage of time at all. .

Only when he occasionally stretched and changed positions, he realized that Long Feicheng and the others had already fallen asleep, and five or six hours had passed.

Yan Shouyi named this design "Fish Crab", which is concise and concise, and it is famous and understandable.

It wasn’t until six o’clock the next morning that the fish and crab finally took shape. Looking at the palm-sized monster, Yan Shouyi was very satisfied.

The small fish crab has the body of a fish, but there are slender crab claws on both sides of the body. Its belly is big, like a small puffer fish, but there is a groove on its back. Just the right size to hold lotus seeds.

There is a hidden compartment at the bottom of the body of the little fish crab. This hidden compartment is also found on Sanyuan's body. It is used to store Tao charms. You can use the Tao charms directly when necessary.

According to Yan Shouyi's plan, this secret compartment is used to store the Lihuo Talisman. As long as the core temperature of the body exists, the soul he injected into the fish and crab will not be frozen.

After testing the body of the fish and crab, once Yan Shou confirmed that there was no problem, he began to peel off the soul and inject it into it.

This process is very fast. Almost as soon as you close your eyes and open them, the fish and crab suddenly come to life and start to swing their tails and claws.

At this time, Long Feicheng and others also woke up one after another. Seeing a small wooden monster in Yan Shouyi's hand, they all came over curiously to observe.

　"YanBrother, how did you create such a strange creature? It smells a bit like Cthulhu! "Long Feicheng chuckled.

Yan Shouyi didn't quite understand what Cthulhu was. He shook his head without explaining and went straight out of the room to find Master Guanyun.
< br />Master Guanyun and grandma Wen Yuxian stayed up all night, talking about things from their childhood. They comforted each other, and their guilt and sadness were alleviated.

But when they saw When Yan Shouyi came with the fish and crabs, he was still surprised. He didn't expect him to move so fast, and he had already thought of countermeasures to deal with the glacier snow lotus.

Master Guanyun was also a little impatient. , she had also coveted Glacier Snow Lotus for a long time, so she immediately took Yan Shouyi to the Immortal Pond.

When they arrived at the Immortal Pond, Master Guanyun retreated, leaving only Yan Shouyi and Wen Yuxian. Even Ling Xiaoxiao could only guard outside and could not come in.

Just one night, when Yan Shou saw the glacier snow lotus again, he found that its petals had withered and the lotus pods had grown larger. There are many, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the glacier snow lotus will completely wither, and then enter the next thirty-year cycle.

In other words, if you cannot successfully pick it today, you will have to wait thirty years from now Let’s do it again.

“Shouyi, are you confident? Wen Yuxian asked.

Yan Shouyi was confident: "There will be no problem!" "

"Okay, let's give it a try! "Master Guanyun urged.

The transparent glass at the bottom of the fairy pool is controlled by a mechanism. Master Guanyun activates the switch, the glass opens, and the glacier water in the upper and lower parts is mixed together, and the fairy pool The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees!

Ordinary people simply cannot bear this kind of coldness.

Yan Shouyi took a breath: "I still underestimated The glacier snow lotus is very cold... but my fish and crabs should not have a problem coping with it. ”

After that, he threw the fish and crabs into the fairy pond, and he sat cross-legged by the pond, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to controlling the fish and crabs in the fairy pond.
