Chapter 2 Ascending the Glacier Lake
When I opened the door, I was not looking at the warehouse where I thought I was storing my utensils, but a dark void.
In the face of this sudden everything, I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, "Master, master! I turned around and shouted at the old Taoist priest just now, hoping that he would give me a little help.
However, when I turned around, there was still endless darkness, and the wooden door that I had pushed open, and the Taoist priest who was supposed to be waiting for me at the door, all disappeared from my vision.
"This old man, you've been fooled!" For a moment, I thought to myself, but when I walked in the direction I had pushed the door open, I was surprised that not only was the door gone, but it was also non-existent.
Like 10,000 alpacas in my heart, now my heart has begun to be afraid, so that in the middle of the day, I actually encountered such a strange thing, and everyone would have to panic.
But at this moment, everything around me opened up and lit up, and after a while, I could vaguely see everything around me.
I was standing on a large glacial lake, estimated to be about two kilometers wide, and I don't know how thick the ice was, but at least it made me feel safe, and there was no sign of breaking because I was standing on it. On the edge of the glacial lake, there are countless undulating but not too high mountains, and the trees on the mountains are relatively lush, but if you look closely, they are much taller than the trees on the pinnacle mountain, and they look a bit like camphor trees, but I can't be sure for sure. These mountains and trees enclose both sides of the glacial lake, as if you want to continue walking, you can only go forward or backward, but there is nothing directly in front of or behind the glacial lake, as if it is a never-ending road.
The sky was gray, the fog filled the sky, there was no sunlight, no lights, if the weather was approaching a typhoon and rain, and like a mysterious forest about to set sun, everything seemed so dull and gray.
I don't know why I suddenly lost my fear, and even started walking on this ice lake, trying to reach the end of the ice lake, as if there was something very attractive to me at the end, although I still had my own consciousness, but I couldn't help but keep walking forward.
I don't know how long I walked, and at some point there were some pedestrians around me who were walking with me, but they were dressed differently from me. They wrapped themselves in black or gray padded jackets so tightly that it was hard for me to see their faces, only that they were dressed perfectly for the weather, and although I didn't know why I didn't feel the cold here in my white shirt now, I didn't have the curiosity to go to one of them to ask about the situation, but continued to walk like them.
I felt that they were walking very slowly, and soon I was at the forefront of these people, and just as I was about to become the leader of this team, something suddenly fell from heaven!
At that moment, my consciousness suddenly became more awake, as if I had just had a perfect dream. I looked up at the thing suspended in the sky and fixed my eyes.
Dark Monkey King?
I'm not sure if he is the Monkey King I know in mythology, the reason why he is called the Dark Monkey King is because he has two long feathers on his head like Sun Wukong, and a helmet like a phoenix-winged purple and gold crown, but this helmet is the same black as his armor.
He slowly landed on the ground and looked at us, and it was at this moment that I realized that his face was really similar to the Monkey King in the TV series and movies, as if it was the real Monkey King, but I always felt that something was not quite right.
He raised his left hand, and took out a black stick from his ear, and took it out and grew larger until he leaned the black, slightly flaming stick against the ice of the ice lake.
Good guy, this ninety percent should be Sun Wukong.
But he turned to us again and pointed his right hand at our team. I couldn't see if his mouth was moving, but there was a sound coming from all directions.
"I'm here, don't enter the territory of the idler, use this stick as the boundary, and those who cross the boundary will be beheaded."
What I said made me a little confused, but it should mean that this "Monkey King" didn't let me continue to walk, in other words, it was a typical roadblock.
But it didn't matter if I walked or not, some of the people who had been following me were already ready to move, as if they wanted to rush out of here.
When the "Monkey King" saw this, he dragged a stick and walked a few steps sideways in front of us.
I don't know if it was the power of the stick or his own divine power, the seemingly heavy ice layer was actually slipped by him so casually, and suddenly a crack appeared, and this crack continued to collapse downward, until it cracked to the surface of the water under the ice, and at the same time, the crack continued to lengthen, until it cracked to the trees and peaks on both sides. But strangely enough, the crack width is not large, at most the size of an adult.
At this moment, someone finally couldn't hold back and began to run straight forward, trying to jump over this crack and continue to walk towards the end of the ice lake.
The "Monkey King" didn't do anything, he just watched quietly as if the person who was about to break through seemed to know what was going to happen.
I saw that the man was about to jump when he ran to the place where the crack was. But suddenly, something unexpected happened, and the crack that broke seemed to have some powerful attraction, and the person who wanted to jump over it was pulled down alive by the crack without even jumping. He began to scream, he began to struggle, but it was like sinking into the mud, sinking deeper and deeper, and it was at this moment that I could clearly see the man's face.
His face was as if he was fighting with someone, and his whole face was covered with blood, but his eyes and complexion were so pale, as if it were
Dead person.
I couldn't help but start taking a few steps back, this person was starting to scare me a little, I turned my head to look at the other people around me, although they all had different looks and faces on their faces, but without exception, they were all dead!
"I ........." A strong fear quickly permeated my heart, but I didn't dare to shout, I was afraid of attracting their attention, I was, by mistake?
At this time, more people rushed forward, all trying to cross the crack, but without exception, all of them were as deep in the crack as the first one, and even one of them even hit me, if I hadn't been so scared that I would have been squeezed into this crack.
Soon, the "Monkey King" on the other side of the crack noticed me, and when we looked at each other, I felt that his eyes were shining.
"Is that you?" "Monkey King" said to me, and suddenly flew up, flew through the crack and came to me.
How dare I move or talk at this moment, and I don't dare to look at him with my eyes, but just stare at his breastplate.
"You're here, I'll take you."
As soon as the words of "Monkey King" fell, he picked me up and began to fly, as if he wanted to take me somewhere.
He flew so high and high that the "people" who had been trying to boast about the cracks below became small, and then he led me quickly towards the front of the glacial lake, and although I couldn't feel the wind, I felt that it had to be at least as fast as a fighter plane.
The further I flew, the darker the sky became, and when the day was about to get dark, at the end of the ice lake, an arched mountain appeared in front of me, and there seemed to be something bright green in the mountain.
Finally, after flying some distance, I realized that it was glowing green, a large palace buried in this arching mountain.
At first feeling, I thought I was entering the territory of the strong orcs of "The Lord of the Rings". But soon, I realized that this was definitely not the base of the fictional thing, and that the building felt a little bit like it
Netherworld!
But I don't think it's the kind of formal underworld, but it feels like it's the underworld, maybe it's the residence of the Ten Halls of Yama or the Emperor of Beiyin, but I don't know what this building is for, and the "Monkey King" who took me to fly seems to be explaining something to me, but I don't know why, I didn't understand what he said at all.
After about two or three minutes, "Monkey King" flew back to the place where I had just gotten the crack, but I still had to go forward, behind the "crowd" team.
He took me down from here and began to talk to me again, I understood what I could say.
"Hurry up and run, don't look back, that temple is going to attack."
Immediately, my subconscious returned to the palace where he had flown me just now, only to see that the palace suddenly gathered a dazzling light, as if it wanted to launch some earth-shattering attack.
"Run!"
"Monkey King" shouted at me again, and I suddenly came to my senses again, and I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, I turned around directly and ran backwards at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
After running some distance, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded behind me, followed by another, about one second at a time, without stopping, and although I didn't feel each explosion, I felt that it had to be at least the size of a missile. At the same time, I also felt that the crowd that had been trying to cross the crack began to turn around and run backwards, and I felt that they were no slower than me, but the explosion seemed to only blow them up. So, I can't be caught up by these people, and I don't know if they do, the explosion will accidentally hurt me and up.
I kept running forward as hard as I could, until I saw a small glowing wooden door in front of me, as if someone was prompting me to run there, and I forced myself to run towards it again.
Finally, before the gang could catch up, I came to the wooden door first, pushed it open and let myself in.
After entering the wooden door, it is just a very simple ancient study, with the four treasures of the study on the table, a few bookcases on the wall, and a bed on the side of the room.
As I surveyed the room, a voice alerted me
"Go close the door, don't let them in!"
But this was definitely not the voice of "Monkey King" just now, but I still followed the instructions of this voice, rushed to the door, and closed the wooden door.
When I was not completely closed at the door, I looked at the "crowd" running here, the front was only five or six meters away, I was really scared stupid, their terrifying appearance, so fast, it was a living Resident Evil!
The moment I closed the door, handprints suddenly appeared on the panes on the wooden door. It was obviously the handprint of the fastest "man", but for some reason, it didn't push open the door to get in like I did, and I didn't lock it, but it was as if it was locked, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't get in.
After a while, more and more handprints appeared on the panes, and there were at least a dozen "people" outside the wooden door, but no matter how many handprints increased, the wooden door never moved and did not let them in.
After a few more moments, a strong white light lit up through the panes, and after a brief flash of white light, the handprints were gone. Presumably the attack from the palace caught up with them and blew them up at the wooden door.
Soon, a few seconds after the handprint faded, a lattice cloth on the wooden door suddenly fell, revealing a little light.
When I saw this light, my first reaction was that it was the sunlight of the real world!
Immediately, I didn't know what was going on with me, and opened the wooden door again.
But what appeared in front of my eyes was.
The familiar Taoist temple, and the old Taoist priest who smiled kindly at me before.
