Jia Sidao pondered for a long time before he said: "The entire glacier area is too large, even if I pass, there is no way to take you all over, so you should not place all your hopes on me. You have to stand up for it. , And..." He looked at the rear, his face solemnly said: "Besides, I always feel that someone is following us."
As soon as his words came out, we were all stunned, and then hurriedly looked behind us, on this snow-capped mountain, there was a lot of white snow, but we saw nothing.
Jia Sidao continued: "We stayed in Hemu Village for so long and didn't find any clues about the Mao family. This is very abnormal."
Big Eye said, "The Mao Clan died in the belly of the Buddha."
Jia Sidao shook his head and said, "Even if that group is dead, don't forget that the Mao family sent more than that group. Before we came to Xinjiang, the Mao family had already sent people to Xinjiang. The map we got was only half, and the Mao family had half. If ours was the first half, then they would undoubtedly be the best choice to follow us in secret."
Big eyes murmured: "It's the same to say it. We followed them in Tibet, and they are following us in Xinjiang. It's kind of interesting."
I looked around for another week and said, "Godfather, you just said that we felt someone was following us. It was because you saw it or was instinctive."
Jia Sidao said: "Intuition, the intuition of the practitioner."
The intuition of a cultivator is the same as that of a psychic person who can feel the yin spirit. It is impossible to make a mistake. So I said: "Everyone is alert, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Once the Mao family is really there After that, we will get rid of them first."
Big Eye said, "But what should we do now?"
Jia Sidao said: "We can't see the situation below clearly from the top, we must first look at the bottom before we can draw conclusions."
Everyone worked together, quickly pierced the rivets, steel drills, and put on the main rope, even without the safety measures such as rope grabbing and descending devices, it went straight down quickly.
Slide to the bottom, put away the rope, and look at the deep melting cave of the glacier. I said: "I don't know where these glacier melt holes lead, and after entering it is a maze."
Jia Sidao said, "Go in and see."
Zhang Ling reminded: "Visibility here is very low, and there is a danger of ice falling above your head. You should speak quietly and follow up. This glacier covers a large area, especially after fogging. Once you get lost, you may get lost.
If you can, you will be trapped inside, so everyone must mark it. "
I looked up at the sky, that silver disc was no longer visible, and several stars were dim, and said: "The sun is coming out soon, and the fog is accelerating. Let's hurry."
Looking up at the glacier at the bottom of the glacier, it is like a huge ice cube. The bottom is inexplicably hollowed out, and many cone-shaped suspended ice are formed on the top of the glacier, like a spike ready to pierce the ground at any time.
There are many fallen ice cones on the ground, deep into the frozen soil, and there are many half-height icicles standing upright like giant bamboo shoots, which look like the open mouth of an ancient dragon, full of fangs and teeth.
Jia Sidao was the first to enter. Everyone got into the dragon’s mouth one after another, carefully avoiding the ice cones on the surface. The wind above his head whistled, and the ice slag "rusty" fell from time to time, making our group dare not dare. Take a mouthful.
Visibility under the glacier is very low, similar to the ice cave in Hoh Xil, but the huge ice wall on the side is thicker.
The light dangled, and the ice and snow reflected a grotesque, and the cracked icicle base showed only scales and claws, as if countless demons and ghosts were hidden in the darkness.
The deeper you go, the darker it gets. Under the fog lights, the white snow beasts are in different shapes. The snow bamboo shoots made of ice and snow are more than two meters high. Those hawk-billed beast claws are everywhere. Every time he drilled under them, there was a feeling of being pinched by a monster in his hands.
Going further, the frozen soil covered with snow has also cracked, and the bottom is pitch black. I don't know how deep it is. Listening carefully, the sound of muffled thunder surging faintly comes.
Big Eyes asked worriedly: "What's the sound below?"
I smiled and said, "It should be a crack in another layer of ice.
"It's an undercurrent!" Jia Sidao explained empirically, "It is an underground undercurrent that goes straight to the ground. It is a strange natural phenomenon. The temperature of the water is far below zero, but it does not freeze. On the contrary, it does not freeze. After leaving the water, it freezes quickly. Once it falls, it will be frozen and there is no hope of survival."
Seeing what he said was really serious, we couldn't help being more careful.
The fissures gradually increased, and people once again felt back to the underground Grand Canyon, but this time, the hard rocky road turned into loose snow. Walking this way is in danger of collapse at any time.
At this time, Jia Sidao relied on the profound intuition of the practitioner to play a crucial role.
The important role is that when there is a fork in the road, he guides us to the right path based on the subtle changes in wind direction and the thickness of ice and snow, so that we will not be on a dead end where we cannot move forward.
But later, there were more forks, and Jia Sidao also began to feel helpless.
As we move forward, the fissures become larger, and the places where we can stand are getting narrower and narrower. We can only hold our chest and abdomen close to the ice wall like a gecko, and move our feet carefully on the ice edge. All kinds of hardships and adventures, we all firmly believe that these will not trouble us.
But ten minutes later, we were still caught in a dilemma, and there was no way ahead.
The path built with snow on the ice wall was only tens of centimeters wide, and the snow in front of us collapsed, exposing only a few centimeters of the edge of the ice wall, making it impossible to pass.
Jia Sidao said, "Did you see it? The fracture in front is only seven or eight meters wide. We can get by. Everyone, work hard, don't be discouraged."
I asked: "How to get there?"
Jia Sidao smiled, and then did not remove the backpack, running for more than ten meters, followed by a figure suddenly sideways along the wall, grasping on the ice wall with crampons, and the whole person ran on the completely vertical ice wall.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Gradually, he walked higher and higher, and his body began to move down after six or seven steps quickly, and he walked more than ten steps before he landed safely on the snowy road on the opposite side.
The fracture of seven or eight meters actually ran along the vertical ice wall.
It seems that the rest of the past few days has restored Jia Sidao's skill a lot.
However, although we don't have the skills of Jia Sidao, we are people who have lived and died after all, so with the help of ropes, we ran on the vertical ice wall one by one, and all passed through safely.
There are road sections with collapsed snow everywhere under the ice cliff. It is three to five meters short and seven to eight meters long, plus a maze-like passage like an ancient beast den. It is also difficult to advance under this ice crack.
After walking for a while, Jia Sidao said, "The road ahead is not easy."
I took a probe and saw that there were two bifurcated caves in front of me. There was no place to step on the steep ice wall. I had to go around the fork and be several tens of meters away before I could see a new foothold.
I sighed and said, "Yes, this gap is too big."
Jia Sidao turned his head and asked us, "Can you do it?"
When he asks this, he is undoubtedly saying that he has no problem, and he is worried that we will not be able to make it through.
Big eyes confidently said: "Master, it's okay. You passed by."
