Chapter 102 All Roads Lead to Lonely Mountains
For a time, the birch forest was as bright as day.
Qingwen hurriedly reached out to protect her eyes.
In the white blood-red eyes, Nanyan's small body was clearly reflected, he dragged a white light, was "sprayed" out of the forest by the burning stick, rolled down on the snowfield, bounced up again, and was shot out again for a long distance before stopping.
The white light fell, and darkness returned to it.
At this time, Nanyan had long since disappeared.
If it weren't for Qingwen staring blankly at her burned hands and the corners of her clothes that had just been turned off, Ringing couldn't believe that the boy who used to love him would attack his companion in the near future.
Everyone is wondering where Qingwen got this divine power, in other words, even Qingwen herself, and she doesn't know that there is something sealed in her body, and she has no way of knowing why she can send this divine power.
At this moment, he couldn't feel anything when he was exhausted, he only felt that his heart was dry, the scar on his forehead no longer moved, and there was not much blood left in his body.
It seems that there is no way to remedy it for a while. Only a slow heartbeat, as if she was angry, told her: "You are still alive, you are still ......"
At that time, the moon had passed midday, and the five of them, Bai You, and Bai Ling were crowded in the dead old birch tree cave for the night. The white thick fluff quickly raised the temperature in the hollow, and the night was warm.
In the blink of an eye, the east was white, snowflakes began to drift in the forest, and the mist came in at dawn.
Baoyu rubbed his sleepy eyes and crawled out of the tree hole, and he was immediately stunned by the miasma in front of him...... After half a sound, he eased up: "How can this be unbearable?"
However, it is not possible not to go.
Baoyu heard the old grandmother tell the legend that people who have been surrounded by fog for a long time will hallucinate and get lost, and will be left where they are forever.
Under Baoyu's urging, everyone picked up their bags and pointed to the faint footprints left by Bai You on the snow......
If you can't see your five fingers, the "plum blossom prints" on the snow need Baoyu to bring her nose straight to see its direction.
The difficulty of this trip to the Foggy and Snow Mountain Road was no less difficult than the night trip to the lonely mountain a few months ago, at that time, Wei Xiaobao still had starlight to guide the way in the dark, and in front of him, this snow-white world could only be entrusted to Bai You.
Ringbell and the other five people and Bai Ling were in the vast snowfield, and none of them could see anyone.
Bai Ling is fine, he is naturally sharp. And everyone can only discern each other's positions through their divine senses.
After the break, Wei Xiaobao must keep up with the pace of Bai Youhe and the others, if he hesitates a little, the white You's paw prints printed on the snow will be instantly covered by the new snow, and he will no longer be able to discern the direction of progress.
......
This lonely mountain looks right in front of you, but in this way, you "hide the cat" and disappear!
Baoyu once proposed to use her divine sense to inquire about the way up the mountain hidden in the snow and mist, but Qingwen objected.
The experience of everyone's hard training in the Great Wilderness Mountain made Qingwen and Ringing understand a truth of coexistence with all things: that is, relying on ingenuity will only make you go in the opposite direction, and only by using your hands and feet to measure, perceive, and touch step by step can you finally solve your "dilemma......
Compared with Qingwen, ringing the bell is more practical and more experienced to perceive the changes of all things. However, she has always been noncommittal to Baoyu's almost stupid "obsession", and even supported it.
In Baoyu's view, in terms of method, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's nothing more than trying and not slacking off.
As the saying goes: "All roads lead to Jinling", if Qingwen refuses to use the magic method, and wants to rely on down-to-earth efforts to find the way up the mountain, then, let him try it.
After walking for a long time, the fog showed no signs of abating, and the snow, on the contrary, was growing.
Fortunately, the guide, the ice wolf Bai Ling, was very familiar with the southern foot of the Lonely Mountain, and Baoyu seemed to fully trust this big wolf, which made Qingwen also begin to believe somewhat that it would never lead them astray.
Suddenly, Bai Yu stopped in front of him.
Qingwen followed the "plum blossom print" and also stopped.
He tapped the hilt of the sword lightly with an embroidery needle and asked Baoyu in a voice......
Baoyu replied: "I haven't noticed anything new, let's wait and see." ”
"Ahh
Wave after wave of wolf howls spread into the distance in the gray mist......
"Listen—like there's a response from other Icewolf. ”
Baoyu stood silently, pricking up her ears, trying carefully to distinguish the difference between the wolf howl coming out and the wolf howling coming back. Baoyu Chuanyin says:
"No, this is obviously not the response of other ice wolves, this should be the echo of Bai You.
"If I'm not mistaken, we're mostly in a canyon right now. ”
Everyone followed Bai Ling's pace and didn't know how long it took for Qing Wen to stop suddenly, and said:
"Baoyu, stop ......"
"Ding-dong-"
"Ding-dong-"
Baoyu, Lingling, and Wei Xiaobao were all calm, and they all heard it—it was the sound of spring water.
The sound was extremely faint, but everyone heard it anyway.
"Why is there a sound of spring water here?!"
Qingwen asked puzzled, she couldn't help jumping and fluttering, and copied in front of Baoyu and Bai Ling.
The soft wisp of white air wafting up made Qingwen ecstatic, and she excitedly shouted to Baoyu behind her: "This is a hot spring, it seems that most of us have already arrived at Surabaya Spring." ”
According to the description of the village chief Geng Ding, there is a perennial stream in the west of the Surabaya Spring, and you can go up along the stream to reach Sanssouci Cave.
"Ding-dong-"
"Ding-dong-"
The crisp sound of spring water seemed to hit Baoyu's heart, and the gloomy clouds that had been over the past few days dissipated in an instant.
Baoyu walked down the "plum blossom prints" on the snow to the depths of the canyon, and finally, after a boulder that fell to the ground in an unknown year and month, Baoyu found the Surabaya Spring referred to on the map.
At this time, the Surabaya Spring exudes a faint smell of sulfur.
Xue Pan and Wei Xiaobao happily put down their bags and began to pound them, Qingwen asked puzzledly, "Baoyu, what are you looking for?"
When Wei Xiaobao touched out four eggs born by the old hen Ah Huang, Qingwen caught a glimpse of her heart and said, "Chef, that's really a natural ......."
The water temperature is much higher than expected, and you can feel its warmth from a long distance.
After everyone finished eating the boiled eggs in the Surabaya Hot Springs, they whispered for a while, so they began to split up to find the only clue to the lonely mountain - the "unfrozen stream".
......
At this point, the snow began to weaken, but the fog remained, and they couldn't make out the exact direction.
Two hours later, Qingwen, who had no clue, was so tired that she sat down on the snow.
She spread out the parchment scrolls and checked them carefully, and the parchments were marked in detail, even the time required for each section of the road was clear.
"Every day the road leads to a lonely mountain, isn't it Your Highness, that they are mistaken?"
Qingwen looked at the bell with a calm face, and asked secretly in her heart.
