Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 208 Mantou Valley

Balang Mountain is located in the north of Ya'an City, Xiaojin County.

Its altitude is 5,040 meters, and it is called Balangla in Tibetan, which means holy willow mountain.

The upper and lower mountain roads of Balang Mountain and the pass area are about 4,000 meters above sea level.

The mountains above 4,000 meters are frozen and weathered mountains, the mountains are steep and rugged, the rocks are exposed, and the dangers are everywhere.

At an altitude of about 3,500 meters, the alpine meadows are dotted with wildflowers, and herds of cattle and sheep are happy under the blue sky and white clouds.

The vast sea of clouds divides the majestic mountain range into two parts: alpine meadows with wild flowers at the top, and mysterious primeval forests at the bottom.

Bai Yang and the others rode through the forest and meadows, and then there was a steep rock mass with no grass, and the horses could not continue to go up, so they could only leave the two hall masters of the Seven Brothers Gang to take care of the horses, and there were still ten people left, continuing to climb higher.

In addition to Ouyang Qi, Chen Baitong, and the two female generals of the Relics Gate, who had been discussed in Sanliandeng before, these ten people also rushed to a master who made double hooks, surnamed Wei and Minghua. plus Poplar Tie Niu, as well as Qi Mingyuan and the two elders of the Brothers' Gang.

This was their third day in the mountain, and they had thought that since there was a map and a place name, it should be easy to find the location of the tomb.

Unexpectedly, when I came to the mountain, I asked the people in the mountains, but no one had heard of the name of "Mantou Mountain".

They had no choice but to look slowly around Mount Balang.

However, the mountains around Balang Mountain are undulating, and they can only imagine the shape of this mountain based on the name "Mantou Mountain".

But I don't know whether this mountain is big or small, and it is really difficult to find a place in such a large area.

However, the tomb of Wang Jiutang is the most prestigious tomb in the inverted bucket world, and if it can be easily found, it may not be a real tomb.

So a few people cheered up and simply climbed to a high place to see if there were steamed bun-shaped mountains around.

The higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes, and the feeling is getting colder.

In addition, the air is gradually thinning, and even if the group is a master, it is inevitable that they will be out of breath and tired.

Especially the companion of the Red Gate Master of the Relics Gate, who never spoke, it seems that his kung fu is a little worse than that of the Red Door Master, and he gradually falls behind.

Tie Niu didn't know that his beloved Hongxing was the master of the Relics Sect, but he couldn't see women suffering, second, he couldn't talk to the old guys in front of him, and third, he naturally liked to lean around women, so he also stayed behind to accompany the woman, and whenever he encountered a steep place, he reached out and pulled the woman.

The lord of the red door was originally accompanying the woman, but when she saw Tie Niu reaching out for help, she simply asked Tie Niu to help take care of it, and she quickened her pace and caught up with a few people in front of her.

It's a pity that the woman who was accompanied by Tie Niu was wrapped more tightly than the Red Gate Master, and even wore black gloves on both hands, Tie Niu never knew what this woman looked like and how old she was.

However, when Tie Niu first reached out to pull this woman, the woman once thanked her, and Tie Niu listened to her hoarse voice, which should not be young.

That would naturally reduce Tie Niu's motivation to accompany this woman a lot, but the Red Gate Master had already walked in front, and Tie Niu couldn't leave this old woman alone, so he could only be patient and still fall behind with that woman.

Soon they climbed a slightly soothing rocky rock, and the further up was covered in snow and ice.

Even the rocks under your feet are covered with a thin layer of frost, and it is difficult to stand firm without slipping.

A few people were on this rocky rock, looking at the mountains near and far, but they never found a mountain in the shape of steamed buns.

But this place has not yet reached the top of the mountain, and there is no view behind the mountain. They don't have professional mountaineering equipment, and even if they have kung fu, it is very dangerous to climb up.

So the Lord of the Red Gate proposed to go along the mountainside and turn to the back of the mountain to see.

However, at this height, it is extremely steep, and it is easy to step on the rocks that are brittle from the cold, so it is not much easier to go around the mountainside than to continue climbing to the top.

So much so that the others were silent, only Ouyang Qi and Wei Hua nodded in approval.

In addition, although Poplar did not speak, he was confident that there was no problem.

In the end, everyone else was waiting on the rock, only the Red Gate Lord, Ouyang Qi, Wei Hua and Bai Yang, walked along the left side of the mountain, which seemed to be gentle, to the back of the mountain.

Poplar found that the Red Gate Lord's light body skills were extremely skillful, and he walked on the steep mountain rock, which was lighter and faster than several of their men.

However, after all, Poplar is young and strong, and his agility and flexibility are far beyond ordinary people, so he can keep up with the Red Door Master. On the contrary, Ouyang Qi was older, Wei Hua's kung fu was slightly inferior, and the two of them gradually fell behind.

In the middle of the line, Bai Yang suddenly heard a "bang" behind him, and at the same time, Ouyang Qi and Wei Hua exclaimed in unison.

Poplar suddenly turned around, just in time to see Wei Hua stepping on a rock, screaming and falling down the steep rock.

Bai Yang didn't think about a few vertical jumps in a row, bent down and reached out to grab Wei Hua who was rolling down.

But as hard as he exerted so much force, a stone rock under his feet also collapsed, and seeing that the two people were about to fall down at the same time, Poplar quickly pulled out the dagger he carried and slammed it into the ground.

With all his strength, the dagger went straight to the handle, and the momentum of the two of them falling was immediately stopped.

Bai Yang grabbed the handle of the dagger in one hand and Wei Hua in the other. Although Wei Hua was embarrassed, he hurriedly found a place to stop his body.

After that, Wei Hua didn't dare to continue to move forward, and Ouyang Qi also stopped, but Bai Yang followed the Red Gate Lord and followed the steep mountain until he went around to the back of the mountain.

It's a pity that I still didn't find any clues from afar.

A few people had to go down the hill and walk back to the place where the horses had stayed, and one by one they were inevitably a little depressed, and they all sat down to rest and eat something.

Wei Hua didn't see Poplar defeat Qiu Zehai, seeing that Poplar was young, he originally had a little contempt for him and Tie Niu, but this time, thanks to Poplar's rescue, Wei Hua was embarrassed and took the initiative to get close to Poplar Tie Niu to talk.

The old woman who came with the Red Gate Master suddenly made a "huh" sound, causing everyone else to look at her, but she refused to speak, but leaned into the Red Gate Master's ear and said a few words.

The Red Gate Lord looked into the distance, and suddenly his face was happy, and he said, "Look over there!"

Everyone looked at it from a distance in the direction of her finger, and they didn't feel anything at first, but soon, Ouyang Qi smiled and said, "Not bad, that place is an excellent place for feng shui, let's go over there and have a look!"

Everyone else nodded.

Tie Niu was confused, and said, "Why do you think that place is a great place for feng shui......?" Together, the mountains look like a turtle with its head up!"

He was right, it looked like a turtle with its head held high from a distance. The head of the turtle is the main peak of Mount Balang that they have just climbed.

On the side of the main peak of Mount Balang, there are two large mountains with soothing terrain and corresponding to each other, which seem to be like the two sides of the turtle's back.

Looking further back, the terrain is soothing, but it looks like a turtle's low-hanging little tail.

Ouyang Qi smiled and said, "This terrain does look like a turtle from the side, but if you look at it from another angle, it will look like a golden chair." And the direction of this golden chair is exactly in the southeast. If the Mantou Mountain we are looking for is hidden between these mountains, it is the best in the treasure land of feng shui!"

Tie Niu didn't know anything about feng shui, knowing that even if Ouyang Qi explained it more clearly, he wouldn't be able to understand it, so he had to close his mouth and stop asking.

The group immediately rode to the place.

It didn't look that far away, but it took nearly two hours to reach the foot of the mountain on the side of the "turtle".

A few people still left the seven brothers to help the two hall masters take care of the horses in place, and the rest climbed up the hill at the bottom of the mountain.

The mountain was not very high, and a few people quickly climbed up, and when they looked down, even the iron bull who did not know feng shui cheered.

Because just below this mountain, between the semi-enclosed mountains, there is suddenly a round mountain. It's not too high, the mountain is soothing, and it really looks like a big round steamed bun.

But because it was not too high, they had just looked down from the mountainside of Balang, and they couldn't see that there was a round hill below.

Of course, the round shape can also be said to resemble a tomb.

Tie Niu couldn't help but speak: "Wouldn't this whole mountain be Wang Jiutang's tomb?"

"It's possible!" Ouyang Qi smiled, "Wang Jiutang is known as the number one strange person in the world, and he has built countless tombs himself, and the big tombs he built for himself naturally have to be more magnificent and mighty!"

The others all nodded, and they all felt that what they found this time must be Wang Jiutang's real tomb - provided that this round mountain is indeed a big tomb.

Several people were all confident, but Tie Niu questioned again.

"Wang Jiutang built the tomb in such a remote and dangerous place, I don't know how much manpower and material resources were used, so why did he draw a map of the real tomb and spread it, isn't this intended to let people come to steal his tomb? So according to me, this map may not be a map of the real tomb!"

His words were actually not unreasonable, and when several people heard it, they inevitably looked at each other one by one.

Wei Hua said in a deep voice: "Generally, the map of the ancient tomb that circulates is not drawn by the owner of the tomb, but by the person who built the tomb! Although Wang Jiutang's tomb must have been designed by himself, it is inevitable that many craftsmen will be invited to participate in the construction, so ...... Could it be that this map was drawn by some of the craftsmen who built the tomb at the time?"

"Definitely not!" Ouyang Qi immediately shook his head, "This map marks a lot of mechanisms, and these mechanisms are incredible, ordinary craftsmen will definitely not be able to draw them!"

"I have an idea!" the Red Gate Lord suddenly spoke, "Maybe Wang Jiutang is going to let someone come and rob his tomb!"

As soon as this remark came out, it made everyone even more confused.
