Chapter 145: Glacier Canyon
There were more than a thousand more goose passengers on board, but it didn't seem any more chaotic. These penguins probably know that they are under the fence, so they don't make a fuss.
They all stay on the deck and huddle together, which is the penguin's traditional performing arts to keep warm.
At this time, the temperature is getting colder, the sky is falling with snowflakes, and most of the crew members have taken refuge in the cabin. A crew member kindly cooked some fish soup for the penguins, but as soon as it was served, it was frozen into hard ice.
After the dragon left alone, the atmosphere was a little depressing. The Queen, led by Fu Hu, continued to sail north. They first rounded a reef-strewn headland, then turned southeast, and finally sailed into a wide bay.
The wind and waves here are a little lighter, but there are so many ice floes that they are almost impassable.
Under normal circumstances, Jimmy Tang would never have agreed to the Queen's passage through such a sea area. Because the position of the ice floe is constantly changing with the waves, even if it does not collide, no one can guarantee whether the Queen will be able to find its original path after driving in.
Fuhu pointed the way for Jimmy Tang, who could always find the narrow crevices in the gaps of these ice fles that could pass through the boats.
The secret route map that the dragon said at the beginning was not actually a map, and the penguins did not draw a map, and all their routes were memorized in their minds.
Fuhu assures Jimmy Tang that he will bring the Queen to safety, and Jimmy Tang can only choose to trust him.
But after another half day of sailing, the weather became more and more bad. The sea fog in the air was mixed with the blizzard raging in the sky, and visibility was almost zero, and only a gray cloud could be seen between the whole sky and the sky, and the howling wind.
The temperature was so low that no one wanted to stay on deck except for the penguins. The crew members all hid in the cabin, shivering around the heaters, even the cultivators.
Jimmy Tang was in the cockpit, and his biggest concern was not the temperature and visibility, but the state of Fuhu that seemed to be wrong.
Under the guidance of Fu Hu, Jimmy Tang drove the Queen back and forth in the same place for more than 20 laps. Fuhu seemed to be looking for something, but Jimmy Tang became more and more anxious. If the navigation penguin's memory is slightly off, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Fuhu, have you forgotten your route?" asked Jimmy Tang in a muffled voice.
"Yes. Fu Hu replied honestly, "The route in this area is complicated, and I really can't remember it." ”
Jimmy Tang was shocked, why is your tone so relaxed about such a serious matter, are the penguins so unreliable?
"So what do we do?"
Now it's a dilemma.
“Do
’t wo
y!” Fu Hu was determined to use his true skills, so he comforted, "No penguin will get lost in the ice floe, please trust your companions." ”
"But it's a secret for our penguin family. Human, I hope you don't divulge to others. Fu Hu added.
"Okay, as long as I can get the queen out of here, I won't tell you even women's clothes. Jimmy Tang swore by holding his forehead.
The tiger penguin nodded his head, and then hey, he lifted his two little feet and quickly circled in place. After a hundred and eighty turns, the penguin finally lost its footing and fell to the ground with a thud.
Jimmy Tang looked confused, not knowing what the penguins were playing.
Fu Hu lay on the ground and slowed down for a while, and then asked, "Brother Tang, what time do you see my bird's beak pointing to?"
Jimmy Tang glanced at it, "Three o'clock." ”
"Then what are you doing in a daze?" Fu Hu was inexplicable, "Drive in this direction!"
“......”
It's confusing to navigate like this, but Jimmy Soup doesn't seem to have a choice.
What makes people speechless is that the route in this direction is really smooth. The Queen continued to move forward, and every time it encountered an impassable obstacle, Fu Hu would perform a move to faint in a circle. After several times, the Queen finally passed through the area where visibility was zero after the blizzard was raging.
But at this time, in front of the course is a glacial cliff several hundred meters high. Not only is it towering into the sky, but there is no end in sight to the left and right.
It's a dead end!
Jimmy Tang looked at Fuhu in confusion, but Fuhu only smiled slightly, and pointed to a place at the base of the glacier with his black fins.
The color seems to be a little different from the surroundings. The Queen sailed along the ice cliff for another ten minutes before approaching. Only then did I discover that at the bottom of the glacier here, a huge canyon had been cracked, wide enough for the Queen to pass through.
After driving into the canyon, there is no cave.
The water flowing slowly at the bottom of the boat did not seem to be seawater, and there was a faint steam, perhaps some underground river passed through it. The warm currents melt the ice and eventually form a nondescript canyon in the glacier.
The wind, snow and cold are kept out by the tall glaciers, which are relatively comfortable because of the warm currents. Many crew members kicked off the heaters and wrapped themselves in small quilts to the deck to watch the scenery. At this time, the clouds dissipated, and the sky light fell, and the surrounding area was transparent.
This flowing canyon is not very spacious, the ice cliffs on both sides are as high as walls, and the nearest point is only a dozen meters away from the Queen. The crew was in the middle of it, looking up at a line of skylight, the bottom of the ship was a dark river flowing silently, and on both sides, there were almost transparent and smooth ice walls.
Such an environment is like a world of crystal. In places with particularly good angles, the sunlight penetrates the ice and reflects a beautiful rainbow.
These glaciers, formed hundreds of millions of years ago, look crystal clear, but in fact they are indestructible. There are particularly curious cultivators who step on the suspension bridge of the Queen and get close to the ice wall, wanting to dig up a piece to see.
A fresh breeze suddenly blew him back to the deck. He scratched his head and got up, and saw Sun Xiang standing in front of him.
"Everyone, don't touch the glacier here!" Sun Xiang's voice was stern. Everyone didn't know why, but they nodded obediently in agreement.
Sun Xiang had been in the cabin to comprehend the Dharma, but after the Queen sailed into the glacial canyon, some indescribable chaotic feelings quietly invaded his spiritual platform. Sun Xiang was shocked. The spiritual platform of the cultivator hides its most essential thing, so the defense of the spiritual platform can be said to be the top priority of the defender's defense.
Sometimes it is more difficult to invade a cultivator's spiritual platform than to destroy his physical body. But something broke through the altar without him noticing.
Fortunately, this does not seem to be a hostile act, and Sun Xiang silently recited the Cloud Sutra to restore clarity. After that, he went out of the cabin to investigate the situation, and saw such a scene.
The ship was full of ordinary people, as well as some cultivators with extremely low cultivation, so they only saw a crystalline dream world. But in Sun Xiang's divine thoughts, the ice here and the water flow below it exude a vast and huge atmosphere. If he closed his eyes, Sun Xiang simply thought that he was facing a cosmic desolation.
This aura was incomparably mysterious, and the deeper the mind went into the depths of the ice, the more indescribable sadness was felt. Sun Xiang didn't dare to continue snooping, so he had to withdraw his thoughts. To be on the safe side, he strictly ordered the crew not to touch the ice. He himself, looking for Fu Hu and asking:
"What is this place?"
Fu Hu didn't understand why Master Sun was so serious, but he still replied honestly: "This is a secret canyon that only a few people in my clan know, and from here, it only takes two days to cross the Northland Islands and reach the northern shore of the Termel Peninsula. ”
Sun Xiang pinched his chin, Fu Hu's words didn't seem to be false. He asked, "What's in front of this canyon?"
"There's a ...... ahead Huh?" Fu Hu said this, suddenly stuck. He tilted the bird's head and wondered, "It's still a canyon ahead, there's nothing special about it." ”
Sure enough, Sun Xiang's heart sank, and he roughly knew what was going on here.
