Early the next morning, they packed up and continued eastward. According to An Shendong's instructions, they still did not take the main road, and traveled along the path and the desert. The five-hour journey took place until the evening, but they still found a very remote place, parked their cars, ate and camped, but the bonfire was not lit again. After eating, An Shendong said: "Today everyone will rest early, and tomorrow morning we will climb the mountain." Because we are walking through a secret path, it will be more difficult, so everyone has to maintain their physical strength. After hearing this, everyone went into their tents and began to sleep. An Shendong also went into the tent to meditate and rest. At about 12 o'clock in the night, a dark shadow flashed from outside An Shendong's tent and entered inside. I saw that this person was wearing a black robe, tall and wearing a mask. After coming in, slowly take off the mask with your left hand, then lift your arms from the sides to the middle, bend your legs and squat, bow your head to the ground for about 3 seconds, and then get up and stand. An Shendong also slowly opened his eyes, and then said two words, "Go." The man nodded, turned and floated out of the tent.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered outside and packed their bags. Follow the pre-planned path up the mountain. First through the dense forest, through a thin snowfield, then zigzag up the mountain. At first, it was relatively easy to climb, but the higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes, and you have to use some professional tools. In this way, they stopped and stopped, and finally after about six or seven hours of climbing, they came to Tianchi. The place they arrived at was far away from the developed scenic area, and it was a restricted area, so there was no one here. The vast blue water, the open lake. A gust of cold wind swept away the heat generated by the climb. The men found a relatively open place to set up their tents, took out their chairs and sat down to rest while studying their next move. The Indian was the first to speak: "This Tianchi turned out to be a lake in a mountain nest, and the altitude is so high that it can maintain such sufficient water for many years." In the words of you Chinese, it seems that this water has really absorbed a lot of the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth. After saying that, he stroked his non-existent beard like An Shendong.

"These superficial things are not important, the important thing is that we find the mouth of the cave at the bottom of the lake, and then go in to find the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan." The American said confidently from the sidelines.

"I think what Mr. Galava said is very important, we are here to seek immortals this time, and we must be humble and cautious in everything. Tianshan Tianchi, in this excellent feng shui treasure land has existed for tens of thousands of years, Zhong Lingyuxiu, and Kunlun Mountain together to create the thousand-year-old civilization of the Queen Mother of the West. The sky that leads to the nine heavens, and the land that connects the ten halls, moisturizing things and creating people, is really where the gods are, we must treat every grass and tree here with a pious attitude, and maybe we will have the opportunity to see the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan. ”

The American soldier nodded, and then said: "Boss An, you kept saying on the way that we should listen to your command, let's say, what should we do next?" ”

An Shendong unhurriedly took out the three-element three-fold feng shui compass and found the twenty-four mountain directions and the forty-eight water levels. Facing east, according to the width of the lake surface, the location of the karst cave at the bottom of the lake is calculated. After about three minutes of consideration, An Shendong finally locked the position, and then pointed with his hand and said: "The position has been locked, it's at 11 o'clock here." Then he stopped talking, as if he was lost in thought again. The American GI and the Indian Lao Jia looked at An Shendong anxiously.

"South of the Tianshan Mountains, north of Mount Everest, small as a bird, big as a dome, shallow as deep, want to climb." Then the old man closed his eyes.

"Boss An, can you say something that we can understand?" The Indian elder said anxiously.

"Don't leak it!"

"Shit, you're here again, it's a critical moment, give us this show." As he spoke, the American soldier grabbed An Shendong's collar. Lao Jia saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. "Hey, Ch

Is, calm down! ”

"Having good thoughts and reverence for heaven and earth is the basic principle of our monastics." An Shendong said again.

The American GI let go of his hand and waved to his men, and two people came over with professional wetsuits and helped them put them on together. Then three more divers got dressed as well. At this time, American Private Chris looked at Galava and said, "You are going with us?" I saw that the Indian Lao Jia shook his head for a while and said, "I can't swim, and I will delay your big business, so I'll go over when you find it." American Private Chris nodded, then swam in the direction An Shendong pointed and quickly dived.

Private Chris took the lead in swimming ahead, and the water in Tianchi was really clear, so that they dived more than 50 meters and the light transmittance was very good, and they could still see the high snow-capped peaks by the lake. They continued to go downstream, and Private Chris was worthy of being a special member of the U.S. Marine Corps, and his physical fitness was not comparable to ordinary people. Although he has been retired from the army for many years, his physical fitness is still very good, and the diving speed is extremely fast, so that the next three people have a hard time trying to keep up with him. The depth of more than 50 meters has already thrown them out of more than 20 meters, and if it weren't for the clear water, they might soon be lost.

Although Private Chris couldn't understand what An Shendong said, he still remembered some of the things that were south and north, big and small. I'm just thinking about what An Shendong is referring to when he talks about the Tianshan Mountains, Mount Everest, Luo Que, and Qionglu.

They traveled thousands of miles from the United States to China to ask An Shendong for help. Because they heard from people in the United States that China has a profound method of calming the gods, channeling all things in the world, and knowing the ancient civilization of the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan. However, this old man has a strange temper, and his temperament is not angry, and he does not eat soft and hard. There is only one thing in the world that can make him tempted, and that is the crystal ice jade that is more than a thousand years old. This old Taoist believes that crystal ice jade connects heaven and earth and people's hearts, and the world can be seen from jade, and people's hearts can be seen from jade. So he has collected a lot of these rare treasures over the years.

Chris has been in contact with An Shendong many times, both soft and hard, but he has never been able to let him tell the secret he wants, until this year's Spring Festival, Chris made a special trip from the United States to pay New Year's greetings to An Shendong. An Shendong, as a monk, of course, scoffed at these clichés, but Chris took out another treasure, which made An Shendong immediately interested. This treasure is a huge piece of crystal ice jade. The whole body is transparent, there is no impurities, the length is about 80 cm, the width is also 50 cm, and the thickest part reaches 60 cm. The key is that this is a pure natural crystal ice jade, which has not been artificially carved. An Shendong looked at the treasure jade with a magnifying glass for twenty or thirty minutes, and was finally interrupted by Chris, who couldn't help it. An Shendong muttered, "Where did you get this treasure?" ”

"It doesn't matter where you get it, as long as you like it, it's yours."

"If you want to use this as a trade to let me tell the story of the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan, then you might as well take it away." An Shendong stood up straight, brushed his sleeves and turned around and said.

"OK, let's go, take the things." After saying that, they wrapped the jade and put it in the car and pulled it away.

In the evening, one of An Shendong's apprentices hurriedly ran over and said, "The master is not good, those Americans are going to destroy the jade, what kind of machine are they preparing now?" ”

An Shendong chuckled in his heart when he heard this, thinking that they were going to take our army. But if you don't go, if such a good baby has a little mistake, how can it be good? After thinking about it, I decided to go over and block it. In the end, he kept the treasure, and as a deal, he promised to tell the American GIs some conventional theories about the mysteries of heaven and earth and the reincarnation of all things. He also told some legendary stories about himself and the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan, an ancient civilization. At first, Chris didn't understand what he was saying, and he didn't want to hear it. I don't think it makes any practical sense. It wasn't until he said something about the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan that Chris came to his senses. But later An Shendong said that although they were as capable as immortals, they had already disappeared for hundreds of millions of years. There is almost no possibility of finding them in modern times. When the American GIs heard this, they were disappointed.

When he returned, Chris asked his men to translate and study the unintelligible words that An Shendong said. When the results came out, he was furious, feeling that he had been deceived by this old way again, and thought that he had spent so much time and energy, but this old way didn't say anything substantial, so he kept doing tai chi. He also said that he had an adventure with the Nine Dragon Immortals, purely nonsense, there is no record of them in all history, this Chinese is really difficult to deal with.

But at this time, news came from China on the other side of the ocean, saying that something strange had happened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. At a construction site, a worker accidentally fell from a height, about 50 meters, everyone thought he must be finished this time, but he was only in a coma for more than an hour, and there were no traces of injury on his body. And where he fell, he found a bamboo plaque engraved with a dragon that looked like a dragon and a non-dragon, and looked like a person and a non-human. No one has ever seen this kind of thing, but after scientific testing, it was found that this bamboo plaque has existed for about 100 million years. Everyone felt that the machine was wrong or that there was something wrong with the algorithm, but after changing several labs, they found that the test results were the same.

"It looks like a dragon and not a dragon, and it looks like a human and not a human bamboo card, isn't this similar to the things in the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan that An Lao Dao said in China!" He immediately contacted An Shendong and asked him what was going on, if it was the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan. An Shendong said: "If you want to solve this mystery, you may have to take a trip to China's Tianshan Mountains with me. I also recently came to the conclusion of studying the Crystal Ice Jade Combination Dao Method that you sent. The Tianshan Yao Pond is connected to the divine vein, and the divine pulse beats, creating the common people. One of the divine veins is the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan. If we can find them and form an alliance with them, we can unlock the way of heaven and earth. After hearing this, Chris arranged a time to fly to China.

He approached An Shendong and discussed the matter of finding the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan. After a few days of preparation, they flew from Shenzhen to Yining City in Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture and traveled by land, where they made preparations for another few days. In the past few days, another person has come, and he is the Indian Lao Jia, who was invited by the American GI Chris. In Chris's words, Lao Jia is also familiar with astronomy and geography, which can help An Shendong. In order to avoid suspicion from passers-by, they called each other bosses on the road, and tried to take the small road to attract people's attention.

Chris continued to dive and noticed that the water temperature had plummeted, and some strangely shaped rocks and some shells on the bottom of the lake that shimmered with faint light appeared. And there was a hill at the bottom of the lake, and he continued down the hill, and the natural light suddenly diminished. He turned on the light above his head and continued to dive. But soon the hill bottomed out, and when I was looking for the road, I found that there was a hole on the side of the hill, which was not big, but the shape was a little peculiar, like a bird flying with its wings outstretched.

Chris took the lead in swimming into the cave, only to see that the cave was open, with a dome and round walls, as if it had been excavated manually, and the walls of the cave were also very smooth. Chris thought to himself that this might be what An Lao Dao said about the Tianshan Mountains, Mount Everest, Luoque, and Qionglu. So he swam along the cave at the bottom of the water, and after about 20 minutes, he found that the water temperature was rising again, and there were many bubbles coming out of it. Chris quickly swam over and found that the place where the bubbles had come out was a large stone monument. The stele is 10 meters wide, and the length is not visible at all, and the smooth appearance of the stele does not look like a natural formation.

Just as Chris was thinking, suddenly the amount of bubbles below increased dramatically, so that he didn't have time to dodge at all, and he was surrounded by bubbles at once. Due to the large amount of bubbles, the buoyancy of the place also decreased suddenly, and Chris and the other three circled straight down. In the end, "dong dong dong", all four of them crashed into the stone monument in the cave. Chris gasped for breath and found that the spotlight above his head had also broken and gone out, turning into absolute darkness in front of his eyes. Chris felt a little deprived of oxygen in his brain and a little unconscious. He struggled to open his eyes, and found himself lying on a snowy field, with a tall pine beside him.

He struggled to his feet, feeling if he was dreaming, but he could clearly feel the pain of the wound on his body. He looked around, then slowly walked towards a high plateau. I found a small house not far away, which looked like it was made of snow. He hurried to quicken his pace and approached the house.

The house was not big, maybe about three rooms in size, he knocked on the door, but there was no answer. So he gave a gentle push with his hand, and the door creaked open. When he came in, he found that there was a painting facing the door, and the figures in the painting looked like dragons but not dragons, and people and not people. There are many small bamboo signs hanging on the walls on both sides of the house. He suddenly remembered the story An Shendong had told him. "This is the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan, it turns out that this An Lao Dao really didn't lie to me!" He laughed and shouted excitedly, and rushed out of the hut shouting, "Nine Dragon Immortals, Nine Dragons Immortals!" "But the house is so big, I searched inside and outside the house several times and couldn't find a figure.

He thought that it would be so easy for the gods to meet me, so he waited here. But as time went on, he was cold and hungry, and the sky was dark, and there was nothing to eat or drink. The radio communication didn't work properly, so he had to walk slowly down. Before leaving, he ran to the house and took a few bamboo plaques and wanted to take them away, but after thinking about it, he put them back, probably for fear of blasphemy.

He made many markings as he walked down the mountain. There are no obvious paths to this place except for the snow and all kinds of towering trees. After walking for about twenty minutes, there was still no obvious sign in sight, but at this time, the compass on his arm suddenly turned twice, and then froze in one direction. Finally, the pointer was normal, and he tried the wireless communication system again, and it seemed that there was a reaction, and some sounds came from inside. He quickened his pace and walked down again, and finally made contact with the Indian Lao Jia and them.

According to their instructions, after about half an hour, the people sent by Lao Jia and their faction picked up Chris. Chris stepped forward and rushed to An Shendong and said, "You lied to me again, didn't you?" There was no one in that place at all, and I thought I had really crossed over to find the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan, but I just ran to the top of the mountain for some reason. This place is a mechanism you've set up, and it's just playing tricks on me, isn't it? Chris growled.

"You found that place?" Indian Lao Jia asked in surprise.

"That's right, that place is the same as this old way says, but where is the person, and he said that decades have passed since he came out of there, but I haven't come back well, and it's still the same?"

"The avenue is invisible, ruthless, and nameless, even if it is encountered, it is difficult to cross the people who have no fate." After saying that, he brushed his beard again.

"Boss An, since Ch

IS has found the place you mentioned, and we might as well go over and take a look, so as to solve your decades-old heart disease. ”

"Okay, let's go over and have a look." After saying that, he turned the dragon head ring on his finger and stood up.

"I made a lot of markings on the way back and we could follow them up the hill, right Jo who was in the water with me

🤔 Did the three of them come back? ”

"I didn't see them."

"That's probably ... Fuck！ After speaking, he looked at An Shendong viciously.

An Shendong didn't answer, and turned around to leave.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, the three of them and three bodyguards followed Chris to the mountain. The rest remained on standby. Six people dressed in mountaineering suits climbed all the way up with tools.

In the early morning, Tomur Peak looks from afar, as if countless sharp blades pierce the sky, snow-capped, and peaks and peaks. Looking down, the water of Tianchi is clear and turquoise, reflecting the snow-capped mountains, coupled with a thin light mist, it is like being in a fairyland, as if entering the real Yaochi Heavenly Palace, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed. The red sun in the distance also gradually rose, shining directly from the cracks in the snow-capped mountains, making the cool air on the body dissipate a lot. Chris leads the group all the way up, looking for the markers he has made. When he went down the mountain, he felt that it had only taken an hour, but when he went up and looked back, he felt that he could not reach the end, and he still did not find it after several hours. Everyone was tired enough, so the Indian Lao Jia said, "Hey, Ch."

IS, are you misremembering the road, why can't you go all the way, we are now more than 2500 meters above sea level. I'm so dizzy right now, I'm almost out of breath, if you don't want to think about how you got down, let's rest here first. ”

Chris looked back, the Indian boss was panting and shivering, and the three bodyguards were also out of breath. Only An Shendong looked no different, and his expression was similar to when he was below. I thought that this old way really has some ability.

"Okay, then I'll give you half an hour to rest. Now at 12 noon, you eat first, and leave on time at 12:30. ”

Half an hour passed in a flash, and they regained their spirits and continued upward, Chris crawling and looking for markers. Finally, it took nearly four more hours to reach the small hill he recognized. A few people looked from a distance and found that there was really a small house on the hillside, which was not big and snow-white.

"That's it, I just ran here from the bottom of the lake for no reason." Chris said, pointing to the room.

A few people stepped up and walked over. I saw that the house was ridged, wooden, no different from an ordinary house, and covered with a layer of snow, so it looked white. Chris went up and pushed open the door and entered the room, which was still the same as before. An Shendong also followed, only to see him raise his hands from both sides, bend forward to the top of his head and then to his face, bend his legs down, and salute his head to the painting on the wall in front of him. Then he stood up and slowly walked to the wall, took a bamboo plaque from the wall, stroked it a few times, and then hung it back silently. said: "This is it, there is nothing wrong. It's a pity that things are wrong, and I guess I'll never see my master again. ”

"Then let's take these signs away and study them, and the house will be destroyed." Chris said.

"No, the Nine Dragons Immortal Clan is an ancient god clan, although it has disappeared for hundreds of millions of years now, they are not extinct, they are just hidden somewhere. We must not touch these ruins, or we may cause trouble. ”

"Then you guys take some pictures and take them back for study."

One of them picked up the camera and "clicked" to take several pictures. After the filming, the men went back the way they came, and as Chris described, it only took them more than an hour to get back to where they were. Although these people felt strange, they didn't think about it, they just felt that they must have gone the wrong way. Then we discussed going back and studying the truth of these things together, but An Shendong didn't seem to be willing to go with them. said: "You have already got the results, which proves that I didn't lie to you, it's just that we didn't practice enough, and we didn't have the opportunity to see their true bodies." You can go down the mountain and go back to study, the old Tao I have been relieved of my heart disease for decades, so I have to stay here and cultivate for a few years, and I can only leave after I understand the true meaning, otherwise my master will not spare me. ”

"Boss An, if you realize anything here, you must tell us." Indian Lao Jia said.

An Shendong nodded, and the group separated here. An Shendong asked them to bring back one of their bodyguards and apprentices, and left them alone. American GI Chris and Indian Lao Jia went down the mountain overnight. After they left, An Shendong went up the mountain again overnight, and returned to the snow room in only an hour, saluted the house in the same way as before, and then walked straight around the back of the house, only to see another room appear not far away, and An Shendong pushed the door and entered. There is a bed, a chair inside. An Shendong looked at it and sat down on the bed. Then he said, "Come in!" ”

I saw a tall man floating in from outside the house, wearing a black cloak, white skin, and unusually long arms. This person is the same black-cloaked man who appeared two times before. It's just that only An Shendong can see this person, but the others can't notice his existence at all.

"What's going on, has the Crystal Ice Jade King found it?" An Shendong asked.

"Found it, it's at the bottom of Tianchi Lake. At that time, I used my consciousness to trap the four Americans, but I didn't expect that Chris was not only extremely physical, but also extremely strong-willed, and finally let him escape. ”

"What about the other three?" An Shendong asked

"I've rescued them and put them near the scenic spot, and someone will find them."

An Shendong nodded and said, "Now that we have the most important person missing, the Crystal Ice Jade King may not be able to get his hands on it for the time being." But I'll report this to Yuan Jixing. ”

The black cloak nodded, flashed its head, and went out the door.

"The clear lake water, the undercurrent is surging, like the rivers and lakes that you can't see. The beautiful snow peaks are hidden organs, like the hearts of people you can't read. 》
