Xiao Zhai took the flashlight and suddenly flashed it.
Gu Yu looked along, and saw an irregular circular area swayed by the faint light on the ice wall, with a few vague notches in the middle.
Those traces were very light, most of them were eroded by the cold ice, and gradually merged with the ice wall. I don't know how long it took to carve, but it must be deep and wide to retain some of its shape.
"this is… "
He took a few steps closer, touched the trace with his hand, followed it down over and over again, and couldn't help but wonder: "This seems to be a word, and it's a bit familiar... Oh, yes, it's the taboo word on the amulet."
"Ray? Heh, we hit the right place by mistake."
Xiao Zhai was very happy, this was obviously man-made, and must have something to do with the Tianshan School.
The two of them were not in a hurry, and sorted it out immediately.
"Comprehensively, it is speculated that the Tianshan faction should be in a basin in the glacier area. This road may not be the main entrance, it may be the back mountain road, and there is even a secret passage to save life." Gu Yu said.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's a secret shortcut to make it easier for you to get in and out. But anyway, no one has left here for a long time. As for the taboo word, what do you think it is for?" Xiao Zhai asked.
"Maybe it was left by the ancestors, so it can play a protective role." He laughed.
"That's right, how can someone still have mana."
After that, the two of them took the flashlights to search the depths again. The black hole was like an endless abyss. The light was swallowed up after a few meters, and there was still darkness behind.
However, they also saw clearly that the blank side is indeed a natural passage, and they don't know where it leads. They are all daring people, without any hesitation, they just slipped in.
As a result, as soon as they took a few steps, the two of them were startled. Whether it was the sky light, snow light, the light reflected on the ice, or the flashlight, they were all swallowed up in an instant.
I feel as if I have lost my sense of space, surrounded by emptiness and darkness in all directions, infinitely high upward, infinitely deep downward, infinitely far left, infinitely far right...
"Hiss!"
Gu Yu trembled unconsciously, stretched his left hand to the side, and held a slender and slender palm. And the other party's fingers tightened, and they held him instead.
The two of them held small hands, feeling a little more at ease, and quickly shook the flashlight, and the beam of light appeared indistinctly, and it took a while before they could barely adapt to this environment.
The ice surface under our feet is extremely slippery, and we dare not take a wrong step, because the terrain extends downwards, and if we step on the air and fall, we don't know where it will roll.
Along the way, they discovered several taboo characters, some of which were Lei, and some of which they didn't recognize. I don't know how long it has passed, but I feel that I am going lower and lower, and I can't help but mutter in my heart: Could it be that I am going to the center of the earth
And at this moment, the light of the flashlight suddenly zoomed in, zoomed in, and then stood still.
Huh? The two of them paused, but there was a dead end in front of them, and there was a sudden ice wall standing in front of them.
"Is this the end?"
Xiao Zhai didn't believe it, he took out the ice chisel and poked it twice, frowned and said, "It doesn't seem too thick."
"Stand back!"
Gu Yu touched the ice wall, felt the snow layer above his head again, first poked a small hole with an ice chisel, then clenched his fist and made a bang.
"Wow!"
There was a slight sway around, and snow blocks fell from the top of the head, and a round hole was cut in the ice wall. Both of them were very thin, so they got through easily.
There is still a passage behind the wall, and we continued to walk for a short distance, but saw less ice and snow, and more gray-brown bare rock. By the last leg, it had completely become a cave.
"Where!"
A flash of light flashed across Gu Yu's eyes, and he immediately became excited, pulling Xiao Zhai to run towards the exit.
…
The green valley in the snow mountain is really right.
At the end of the passage, there is a small valley impressively connected. The altitude is similar to that of the Zhongshan belt, or even lower. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it blocks the cold current, making the place closed and warm.
This should be the back mountain, because I saw a small field and several vegetable fields, with a small river meandering through it. There are trees and weeds on the shore, and there are a few wooden houses looming in the distance.
"This place is weird..."
Gu Yu looked at it for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Feel the spiritual energy?" Xiao Zhai asked.
"I can't tell. There must be spiritual energy, but it seems to be blocked by something and can't be released. It's very messy. Let's go and have a look."
The two carefully avoided the vegetable field and followed the dirt road to the wooden house.
There are three rooms in total, and the style is relatively old, but not too old, about the feeling of the 1970s and 1980s. A wooden fence is erected around it, forming a circle, which becomes a courtyard.
The yard was clean and obviously inhabited.
Just as they were about to go forward, they heard a voice from inside the house: "There is a visitor, it's rare!"
"Squeak!"
As the door opened, a person walked out, young and in his thirties. This person's clothes are shabby and his appearance is ordinary, but his brows and eyes are full of spirit, the brilliance is exposed, and there is a sense of arrogance.
Huh
His eyes swept over, and as a pair with Gu Yu, they both let out a low cry. He was a bit innocent at first, but his face changed slightly, and he smiled and said: "It turned out that two fellow Taoists are visiting, please come inside!"
"excuse me!"
Gu Yu unexpectedly entered the room first, and at the same time secretly made a gesture.
"..."
Xiao Zhai blinked his eyes, his heart trembled.
The house is very simple, with a quiet room on the east side and a bedroom on the west side, covered with earth kang. After they were seated, they exchanged names, and the man also said, "My name is Sima Che. I followed my master's common surname, and I also gave myself a Dao name called Ling Xiao Taoist. I'm laughing at you."
The two hurriedly said they didn't dare, so they were polite.
Immediately, Sima Che asked again: "Where do you come from?"
"From the northwest."
"Oh, Shuimogou. I went there seven years ago. How is the child?"
"The child is fine. We found some clues after looking at the amulet."
"Heh, back then when I personally picked him up to come into this world, even if I had some karma, giving him a magic talisman was also fate."
Sima Che was quite at ease, and talked about this and that for a long time without asking any serious questions. After another half hour, Xiao Zhai finally said: "Senior Sima, there is one thing I don't understand."
"Speaking."
"Ninety years ago, the government held a grand ceremony in Baiyun Temple to recognize sixty-two orthodox sects, and the Tianshan sect was among them. However, there has been no news of the Tianshan sect since the respected master appeared 30 years ago. I take the liberty Let me ask you, why are you hiding from the world?"
"Hehe, my Tianshan sect is located in the border area, and it has always been sparse. Up to my master's generation, I only accepted one apprentice. The temple of my sect is in the northwest, but unfortunately it was flooded by an avalanche. The master didn't want to argue with the government. Take me here to live in seclusion. In fact, this is also the hermitage of the Tianshan School, but no one knows about it. Later, the master passed away, and I was left alone, so there is no need to spend a lot of trouble... "
Sima Che didn't hide anything, then turned to someone, and said with a smile: "What's more, how can one be free from the troubles of the world to practice Taoism? Fellow Daoist Gu, do you think so?"
